HOLLAND AND THE WAR

Several Dutch newspapers contain the following :
The Cologne Gazette, having published inaccurate infor-
mation relative to the prohibition of the export of coal,
and having odiously implicated Holland in this matter,
inquiries have been made, the result of which
clearly proves the inaccuracy of that information
and of the suppositions derived therefrom. Frarrce has
not concluded a commercial treaty with the Govern-
ment of the Netherlands only, but with Belgium, Eng-
land, and the Zollverein. All these treaties contain a reci-
procal obligation not to prohibit the exportation of coal,
or to raise even an export duty thereon. The assertion
that Holland has now an abundant supply of coal is
entirely without foundation, and that Holland could sud-
ply the French men-of-war with coal is likewise incorrect.
The proclamation relating thereto, especially prescribes
that men of war entering our harbours shall only obtain
the quantity of coal required by them to reach the nearest
port of their own country, which is for France, Dunkirk,
and that quantity is much too small for other journeys
either to the Baltic or even to the mouth of the Elbe."

LOSS OF THE STEAMSHIP ECUADOR.

As giving further details about the loss of the Pacific
Steam Navigation Company's steamer Ecuador, Captain
Stamm, we publish the following letter, directed from the
port of Supe, to the Commandante General de Marina,
dated June 14, 1870 :—" On Tuesday, the 14th instant, at
1 p.m., the English steamer Ecuador left this port with
26 deck passengers, a considerab'e number of barrels of
rum, and having in tow the launch Cliancay.
Abort three hours after her departure I was
informed that the boilers of the Ecuador hart
exploded, about six miles off. Taking all the boats T.
could obtainl proceeded towards the place of the accident,
but owing to the high wind and sea, did not arrive along-
side of the steamer until she was just sinking. The
greater number of the pafalengers had already been trans-
ferred to the above-named launch. Of the twenty-six.
passengers who left in the steamer, only nineteen have re-
turned. Aitong these, one scalded had died thirty-six
hours previous; t*o have entirely lost their sight; one has
a leg fractured ; the captain of the Ecuader severely
wounded ; the boatswain wounded and his leg fractured,
the first engineer scalded, and five passengers slightly
injured. Of the crew, the second engineer, the cook, and
three firemen perished. All the aid possible was given to
the sufferers in this port." From latter information by
the Limena here we learn that the captain was expected
to recover', but doubts were- expressed as to the chief engi
neer, Mr. Shai-V, who was in the Hospital -at Callao;
On receiving the newly the manager of the company
at once sent the S.S. Bogota with medical and other aid
to the scene of the accident. The launch went back under
sail to Supe with these saved from the Ecuador. The
list of the missing on the arrival of the launch at Supe is
given as follows :—Henry Ayliff, 2nd Engineer ; Claudio
Olivero, Castro Cerda, and Alex. Moreno, firemen ;
Chinese passenger. The wounded of the crew aro :
Captain Stamm, Chief Engineer Shaw, the quartermaster,
with Rolm other passengers names unknown. The
Ecuador had been in dock fifteen days before, had two
boilers, and even when she left Supe was considered to be
in good condition. The chief engineer could give no ac-
connt how the accident happened, and as the steamer sank
the superintendent engineer could form no opinion as to
the cause of such a lamptable accident. The inhabi-
tants of Supe did all they could to alleviate the sufferers,
and have the gratitude of the compaity,—fanava. ,star

opinions in order that they may have an opportunity of
comparing notes. Recently he gave a breakfast at
Carlton-house-terrace, and among the guests were Lord
Lyttleton, the Bishops of Lichfield (Dr. Selwyn) and
Bath and Wells (Lord Arthur Hervey), the Rev. Dr.
Rigg (editOr of the London Quakerly Review), and the
Revs. Henry Allon and Baldwin Brown, the well-known
Dissenting ministers.
A funny scene took place in the House of Lords on
Thursday evening. The Commons' amendments to the
Lords' amendments on the Irish Bill were under discussion,
and it became Lord Hatherley's duty to put a question
from the chair as to whether their lordships would
consent to accept these alterations. But he did
not know how to do so, and it became neces-
sary for Mr. Shaw Lefevre, clerk to the House, to
give the Chancellor the necessary instructions: Now
both Lord Hatherley and Mr. Lefevre are somewhat hard
of hearing, and they could not hit the matter off. Then
Lord Granville came to the Chancellor's rescue, and he
not succeeding in making the matter clear, Lord Halifax
appeared on the scene, but these did not suffice, and so
Lord Cairns offered his aid. The end of it was that Lord
Hatherley said he had three questions to put to the House,
but he put only one, and the two others remain undecided
to this day.
Five years ago one of the greatest magnates in the City
was a certain German Jew, who had taken to himself an
English name. He was at the head of a gigantic financial
company, which dealt with millions. He got into Par-
liament, and he was courted by all sorts and conditions of
men. Black Friday came, Overend and Gurney collapsed,
so did the financial company in question, and its moving
spirit found it advisable to move to the Continent for a time.
He had not done badly for himself, and while others were
ruined, he was not only "not a penny the worse," but a
good many thousands the better. Of late he has returned
to London, has set up again in grand style, has lordly
offices, and keeps the crowds who throng his reception
room waiting an unconscionable time. No doubt he will
soon be seeking a seat in Parliament again, and no doubt
he will obtain it. After all there is nothing like self-con-
fidence. With that you may do anything. You may
win the confidence, and get hold of the cash of those who
if there were anything in the proverb " Once bitten twice
shy," should have nothing at all to do with you.

PARTY EXhIBITIONS IN IRELAND.

Judge Fitzgerald, in opening the commission of the Ty-
rone Assizes yesterday. strongly condemned the con-
tinuanc e of party exhibitions, and said that if they were
persisted in with the same manifestations of ill-will as
heretofore it would become the duty of the judges to ad-
vise the Government to place the Tyrone under the pro-
visions of the Peace Preservation Act.

NEW GUMMI:ATI:AND ASSIZE COURT AT
ALYMOUTH.

With full civic pomp, in the presence of a very large
concourse of spectators, many of whom were from neigh-
bouring boroughs, yesterday afternoon, was laid at Ply-
mouth the foundation-stone of the new Guildhall and
Assize Courts, and public buildings about to be erected.
The cost of the same is estimated at £40,000. There was
accommodation for many hundreds provided by raised
platforms. Mr. Alfred Rooker, as chairman of the build-
ing committee, requested the mayor (Mr. Luscombe) to lay
the stone, which he did amid the cheers of the assembly
and the ringing of the bells of the adjacent church. The
building is to be completed in two years.

POVERTY INTENSIFIED.

Of all classes of the community who suffer from
the dire evils arising out of poverty, none are to be
pitied more than the blind. Unable to seek indepen-
dent fields of labour, their condition compels them
either to take refuge within the grim walls of a work-
house or to appeal to the generosity of the streets.
The silent pleading of the blind man led by a dog,
whose instinctive keenness has been developed by
long training; is one of those sights to be met with
in every country that has undergoie the faintest
polish of civilisation. In our larger towns, however,
the helpless poverty of those afflicted by blindness
has attracted the attention of Christian charity, and
attempts have been made to lessen the sting of
misfortune by establishing institutions where work,
instruction, and recreation are combined. One of
the best known of these institutions has its head-
quarters in the Euston-road, London, at which place
the Association for Promoting the General Welfare
of the Blind has long laboured to ameliorate the
condition of these helpless people. In connection
with this establishment, classes for instruction are
held in different districts. Some of the proteges of
the institution are engaged in selling goods, the
manufacture of blind persons; others, again, who are
unable to work, receive pensions ; and it it stated by
Miss Elizabeth Gilbert that 175 blind persons
are benefited by the association. During the
year 1869 the sum of £2,500 was paid in wages and
?ensions, and an appeal has been made to the gene-
rosity of the public for funds to enlarge the useful-
ness of the society. The objections against alms
giving as tending to encourage idle habits are wholly
wanting in cases of this kind ; and by putting this
unfortunate class in a position to assist themselves,
not only is pauperism decreased, but a laudable im-
petus is given to Christian work.

UNLIMITED BELIEF.

To preserve the charming innocence of youth
while your hair is turning grey, to have a thorough
belief that, after all, the word is much better than
it is painted, is surely a state of mind to be envied
by a philosopher. But there is a stage beyond this,
as the columns of the daily papers frequently testify.
Genth men who have money to spare, and not know-
ing what to do with it, persist in asking people to
borrow without security. People in the last stage of
consumption are requested, nay, implored, to be cured
for a postage stamp. Professors, learned in chemistry,
will remove corns and bunions at something less than
nothing a dozen, and not unfrequently a barber will
shave your face, and throw in a breakfast into the
bargain for the mere honour of the thing. Again
appeals for help are put forward in such an artless,
unsophisticated manner, that surely a lifetime must
be spent in attaining the style necessary
to perfect success. What but long training,
close application, and a dash of genius, could
produce anything like the following, taken from the
Times :—" Help,—A gentleman, pursuing his studies
at the University, whose prospects are greatly im-
peded by the serious illness of his wife, is reluc-
tantly compelled to adopt the present means of soli-
citing AID, in order that she may have the benefit of
a sojourn at the sea-side, the sole hope of her
restoration." It is to be trusted that the hopeful
gentleman will not be disappointed, for he certainly
deserves success.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-THIS EVENING.
THE SECRET TREATY.

In the House of Lords this evening the Earl of
Mahnesbury asked whether the Government could give
any information with respect to an appalling letter which
appeared in this day's Times, respecting the projected
treaty between France and Prussia.
Earl. GRANVILLE said he had received a telegram similar
to tNe letter in the Times, and he had also received an
answer from the French Ambassador in London, that the
proposals referred to originated with Prussia, and that the
French Government had positively declined to interfere
with Belgium. The noble earl then read the dis-
patch referred to.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A LADY.

At Adderley, Cheshire, yesterday, a married lady,
named Carvell, riding in a pony carriage, was thrown out
upon the road by a sudden starting of the horse, and the
carriage overturning, she was instantly killed.

OUR COTEMPORARIES—This Morning.

PRUSSIA AND ENGLAND,

The Post says the article in Count Bismarck's or gan
the North German Gazette, which accuses England of be-
coming an arsenal on the French frontier for the use of
France is a direct threat to this country. The accu-
sations it contains are thoroughly unfounded, after
Count Bismarck's usual fashion, but the menace
is genuine and unmistakable. It is the fulfilment,
of the Projet de Trnite conceived in the broin of the Chan-
cellor of the North German kingdom, and dictated by
him, in his own bad French, to M. Benedetti. That
France is not desirous of acquiring by brigandage the
territory of weak, peaceful, and. inoffensive neighbours is
proved by the fact that she fights Prussia. That England is
steadfast and honourable in her neutrality is shewn by the
attitude of her Government and people. It remains for
North Germany to struggle with France more fairly on
the battle-field than in the domain of intrigue, for if Prus-
sia ventures to violate neutrality of Belgium, tne ffrst to
resent the outrage will he the Power whose " trade " and
prestige the Berlin papers threaten to extinguish. Our
neutrality, if not armed, is none the less watchful, and
if the sea is touched, this country will know how to main-
tain its European position.
London, England, 1870-07-29

THE FEELING IN HUNGARY.

In Thursday's sitting of the Lower House of the Hun-
garian Diet, Count Andrassy, replying to an interpella-
tion respecting the attitude of the Government at the
present crisis, referred the House to Count Beust's
circular of the 20th instant, and said Austria,
had no preparations to make that could dis-
quiet any foreign state. He added that Austria
was bound to look to her own safety, and not to let it de-
pend upon the favour of any foreign power. Count An-
drassy continued thus :—" In official circles the view ob
tains that any attempt on the part of Austria to regain
her former position in Germany would be useless, and
even injurious. Hungary wishes to observe neutrality,
but whether she will be able to do so no one can deter-
mine beforehand. The expression " Hungary's neu-
trality " is to be understood as meaning Hungary alone
remaining neutral, for Hungary's laws and interests
forbid her to act in . every case in conjunction with
Austria." Count Andrassy's declaration was received
with approval on all sides of the House.

DEPARTURE OF THE EMPEROR FOR THE

EAT OF WAIL

A large crowd assembled at La Vilette yesterday morn-
ing, at the junction of the Circular Railway with the
Eastern Line, to witness the Emperor's departure to the
front. His Majesty was accompauied by the Prince Im-
perial, and was cheered most enthusiastically. The news
of the withdrawal of the French troops from Rome is
fully confirmed.

A NEW IRONCLAD.

Foreign Governments do not seem to participate
in the prejudices that compel English inventors to
deny the benefit of their genius to their own country.
This fact is especially remarkable in inventions con-
nected with military art and shipbuilding. During
the past week the Fethi Bulend, or the Great Vic-
tory, built from the designs of Mr. Reed, the late
Constructor of the Navy, fo- the Turkish Govern-
ment has been tried at the Maplin Sands, off Sheer-
ness. is this is the second of a class of vessel built
for the same Government, and as all Mr. Reed's
endeavours to persuade the Admiralty of the
advantages of his improvements have failed, it
may be interesting at the present moment to call
attention to them. The Fethi Bulend is of about
1,600 tons burden, with a length between perpen-
diculars of 255 feet, and an extreme breadth of 38
feet. She is armed with four 121 ton Armstrong
guns of the Woolwich pattern, and these are en-
closed in a central battery, defended all round, and
above by the heaviest armour plating. The engine-
room boilers, magazine, and the other vital parts of
the ship are protected by 9 - inch armour
plates, and the less important parts by plates
diminishing from six to four inches in thick-
ness. These plates are subtantially " backed."
By a new arrangement of the ports, aided by the
tapering form of the hull fore and aft, each of the
guns, in addition to broadside firing, can be fired in
a direct line with the keel, obviously a com manding
advantage in chasing an enemy or in defending her-
self when pursued. The new iron-clad is fitted with
Admiral Inglefield's hydrostatic steering gear, by
means of which she can be steered from any point
below deck. In action, therefore, there is no neces-
sity for the presence of anyone on the upper deck.
At 'the trial a mean speed was obtained
of HI knots an hour, and the gear
answered admirably. She is schooner-rigged, and
her funnel is the only thing to be seen on deck at a
distance. She is not of very handsome appearance,
but as she is built for work and not for ornament,
this can be dispensed with, Her real beauty will be
seen in action. -

LORD BURY AND THE WIMBLEDON REVIEW.

Lord Bury has written at some length to the
Time 3 in answer to the charges made against the
Volunteer Review at Wimbledon. lie admits that
the total effect of the review was not encouraging,
as three regiments had scarcely the strength of
three companies each, but he maintains that it is not
the fault of the Volunteers that they have not the
organisation of an army, when it is the deliberate
policy of their superiors to give them none.
The Volunteers devote time, personal service, and
a good deal of money, but organisation is
a thing which they cannot give themselves.
Most of the confusion at Wimbledon resulted, he
believes, from the Staff of Division Generals, and the
system on which they are trained. Lord Bury
proceeds to recount his Wimbledon experiences, and
states that while he was.giving orders to one division
of his brigade, the other began executing a series of
extraordinary and unexpected movements under con-
flicting orders received, through a succession of
aides-de-camp, from different staff officers. The
changes of front which have been so severely
criticised may have been badly executed,
says Lord Bury, but he considers the only wonder to
be that under such circumstances they were done at
all, If, when he was an aide-de-camp, he had given
an order to a battalion commander instead of to the
brigadier, be thinks his general would have sent him
home with a tolerably severe admonition. The
volunteers want more time for their movements than
the regulars, but it is no saving of time to throw,
them into confusion. Lord Bury considers the blame-
rests with the young officers who are attached to the
general's staff for the day, and who think it fun to
gallop about with orders, rather than to the officers
themselves, and he wishes to direct the attention of
the authorities to a point which, in his opinion,
explains a good deal of the supposed ignorance and
incapacity of volunteers.

THE TRAMWAYS BILL.

The amendments made in the Tramways Bill in
the House of Lords consist chiefly of additions to the
measure as it left the Lower House. One new
regulation sought to be introduced is in favour of
allowing the promoters of a tramway to sell their
undertaking to any person or company or local
authority or corporation after it has been opened
for traffic six months. The Peers also seek to
have it designed that nothing in the Tramways Act
shall interfere with the rights of any owner, lessee,
or occupier of mines or minerals lying under or adja-
cent to any road along or across which a tramway is
to be laid. Trustees of thoroughfares, more-
over, the Lords desire to see entitled
to compensation in respect of the use of
their roadway. They filially suggest that tram-
ways be placed only in the centre of roads and
that penalties not exceeding £5 and 40s. respectively
be strictly enforced for injury to the rails or con-
veyances or for non-payment of fares. The Tram-
ways Act is intended to apply only to England,
Wales, and Scotland.

TREATMENT OF THE INSANE.

The twenty-fourth annual report of the Commis-
sioners in Lunacy, which has just been published,
presents some interesting facts to our notice, The
chief failure in the working out of the system
arises from the difficulty of supervising the subordi-
nates who are placed in charge of the patients. It is
so far satisfactory to find from the reports that these
attendants are of a better class than they used to be,
but it is unfortunately shewn that many serious
defects still abound. The Commissioners
attribute these abuses, in a great measure,
to the enlargement of the asylnm buildings,
whereby the only safe guarantee against
temptations to the exercise of power has been
removed. Some years ago it was reported that
Ilanwell and Coble) Hatch were not confined to
their original purpose of hospitals for the treatment
and cure of the insane, but the warning was un-
heeded. The Commissioners have an onerous task
imposed upon them, for they have the supervision of
55,000 lunatics, which is an increase of 20,000 in
twelve years. Their chief anxiety is to rescue the
insane patient from the dangers to which he is
exposed from the " unchecked humours and ca-
prices of ignorant, careless, and cruel attendants."

SMALLPDX IN IRELAND.

In the year 1869 only 18 deaths from smallpox
were registered in Ireland. The disease can scarcely
be called indigenous to the country, and where it
exists it has been introduced from beyond the sea.

The large and valuable range of Silver Mines which this com-
pany is formed to work is situated in the same rich district, and
in close proximity to the profitable Mines of the celebrated Real
del Monte Company, which, since its establishment in 1849, has
yielded Dividends to the Shareholders amounting to nearly
£3,000,000 sterling.
No drainage is now required as the shafts have all become dry
since the completion of the great Aviadero adit of the Real del
Monte Company. ,

.
Ore yielding only £6 9s. per ton pays all expenses. The result
therefore of numerous assays of ores taken from various parts
of these mines, and giving an average value of £45 10s. per ton,
cannot but be considered as highly satisfactory, more espe-
cially as the average produce of the 525,978 tons of ore, reduced
by the Real del Monte Company up to 1865, was only £l3 4s. per
ton, from which, notwithstanding the great cost incurred by that
company for drainage, a profit of £2,411,500 to that period was
made.

REPRESENTATION OF EAST SUFFOLK.

Lord Mahon, the Conservative candidate for East Suf-
folk, addressed a meeting of the electors at Lowestoft
yesterday afternoon. He asked the support of the electors
on the grounds that he was closely related to the families
of Sir Edward Kerrison and Lord Henniker, and as re-
presenting the Conservative opinions which preponderated
in the county. Referring to local taxation he expressed
an opinion that it should be collected upon the basis of the
income tax. After expressing approval of the Merchant
Shipping Act, he referred to local topics, and advocated
that a member should be given to Lowestoft. The meet-
ing was partly hostile, and a vote in favour of his candida-
ture was not ventured on. Col. Adair addressed a meeting
at Beccles yesterday. A very close contest is expected.

BRISTOL ELECTION PETITION.
The Bristol election petition was proceeded with to-day.
At the opening of the Court two witnesses were called
and did not answer—namely, Christopher Thomas, chair-
man of the Liberal Association ; and George Richards,
mentioned as a briber in O'Malley's speech. However,
after the Judge had mentioned that the consequences of
non-attendance might be serious, both witnesses made
their appearance. The examination of George Richards
was then proceeded with.
George Richards said, in evidence, that he employed a
publican named Munday to get as many votes at the test
ballot as he could. Witness knew that Munday would
get them by drink. Told Munday not to spare expense
for drink. Witness paid Munday 10s., which was for
loss of time and drink, in treating voters. Witness ad-
mitted treating by himself, and said he did not think
that bribery at the test ballot bore legally on the elec-
tion.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF TWO CHILDREN.
An inquest was held yesterday at Itchin's Well before
Mr. Spencer Clarke, coroner for North Hants, on
the bodies of two children of Mr. Jones, farmer, of

that place. On Thursday Ann Alcock, a servant
eft the two children at the yard dom., whilst she took in
a message from the groom. Whilst away the child, be-
tween two and three years of age, is supposed to have
pushed the parambulator containing the younger
one into the pond about twenty yards away
from the house, and to have been dragged in
herself, for on the return of/the servant the children could
not be seen. On further search their dead bodies were
discovered in the pond. All occurred in about three
minutes, whilst the groom was standing in the yard.
The jury returned a verdict of accidentally drowned, and
thought the servant was to blame.

DEATH OF AN UNDERGRADUATE BY

ELOPEMENT AND PERJURY.

Yesterday, at the Liverpool Police-court, a young man,
named William Jones, a currier, was charged with per-
jury. It transpired that on the 11th inst. the prisoner, who
resided at Llanfaelog, eloped with the daughter of the Rev.
Robert Williams, rector of tho parish. On the following
day the prisoner applied to the Superintendent Registrar in
Liverpool for a marriage license, and made a declaration that
he and the young lady had resided in that town for 15 days
prior to the application being made. On this statement
being found to be false, a warrant for his apprehension was
applied for. He was remanded.

VAGRANCY.

Mr. LIDDELL asked the President of the Poor Law
Board whether he would during the present session lay
upon the table of the House a bill for the better sup-
pression of vagrancy. embodying the views expressed by
him with respect to the co-operation of the police in the
supervision of " habitual vagrants," to their detention by
the Poor Law authorities in " vagrant wards." and to
their subjection, under such authorities, to an effective
"labour test."

Mr. GOSCHEN said he was afraid it was not possible in
the present state of public business to introduce any
measure on tnat subject at present. It would be useless
to introduce any bill without there was a prospect of its
being passed into a law during the present session.
