MILITARY RESERVE FUND.

Colonel NORTIt asked the Secretary of State for War
whether the recommendations contained in Paragraphs
15 and 18 of the report from the Select Committee on
Military Reserve Funds, had been carried into effect—
namely, that the reserve fund should be wound up, and
the balance paid into the Exchequer; and, if so,
whether a sufficient sum had been taken in the army- esti-
mates to defray all payments charged on the reserve
fund. _ _ .

Mr. CARDWELL replied that the recommendations had
not been carried into effect, and the balance had not been
paid into the Exchequer.
TRUSTEES OF SAVINGS BANKS.

Sir JOHN Lunsocs asked the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer why the excess of interest paid to the trustees of
savings' banks during the year 1869 over that received by
the Commissioners amounted to £217,254 15s. 10d., while
the excess for the year 1868 was only £17,091 lls. 2d.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that the
amount which was paid to the Commissioners for the
Reduction of the National Debt on account of savings'
banks in respect of terminable annuities was, in 1868,
£2,780,000, and in 1869 only £2,1)8,000, so that there was
a difference between the two years of £522,000, and the
cause of that difference was the arrangements which
were made as to the period of paying the balances.
OPEN COMPETITION IN THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Mr. WINTERBOTHAM asked the First Lord of the
Treasury whether he was able to state what steps had
been taken for "the establishment of a system of open
competition on an extended stele " in the Civil Service, in
accordance with the expectation held out to the House on
the 10th of April, 1869, and renewed on the 25th of
February, 1870.
Mr. GLADSTONE stated in reply that in redemption of
the pledge which the Government gave at an earlier period
of the Session they had steadily prosecuted the measures
which were contemplated in the discussions which took place
in that House, and the arrangements connected with open
competition, and connected with other elements of change
in the offices that belonged to the subject, or attached to
it, were now in a very forward state, and he hoped in the
course of two or three weeks to be able to lay upon the
table of the House conclusive documents relating to the
subject.
THE METROPOLITAN POLICE FORCE.

Mr. EYKYN gave notice that he should call
attention to the unsatisfactory state of the metropolitan
police force, and to move for a select committee to inquire
into the subject.
THE FENIAN RAID IN CANADA.

In reply to Colonel North,
Mr. MONSELL said that, according to the information
which he had received that day, all was quiet on the fron-
tier. Many of the Fenians were begging their way home
from Malone. General Lindsay proposed to reduce the
military force at varions points. The Fenian stores were
much wasted.

MANNING THE NAVY.

The Times remarks that the old question, once so for-
midable, of manning the navy dwindled on Monday even-
ing into a very slight objection on the part of Mr. Graves
to the new rules for the Naval Reserve. The answer of
Mr. Childers was doubly satisfactory, if only his calcula-
tions are correct. It is quite true that some of the in-
dulgencies, or rather relaxations, hitherto extended to the
men entering the resesve have this year been withdrawn;
but the change will be for the advantage of the
service, and our position is, in Mr. Childers's
opinion, strong enough to allow of our making it. The
Reserve is a popular force, and certain measures have
recently been taken to increase its popularity, so that we
may fairly venture to improve the terms a little on the
side of the nation. As for the rest, it is probable that
fewer seamen will be required than formerly under the
new conditions of naval warfare, though the uncertainty
which hangs over the future in this as in other respects is
not to be disguised. The best officers of the present day
profess themselves unable to forecast the character of a
modern sea fight, and one of them has said that the first
battle may upset all our calculations. All this may be
true, but in the meantime we can do no better than keep
ahead: in the race according to the best of our judgment,
and that is what, for the first time in this generation, we
now appear to have done.

The East Suffolk Election.

The Conservatives have retrieved their character
in East Suffolk. However tardy their adoption of a
" fit" candidate may have been, the majority by which
they have elected him proves that they were only too
satisfied as to the result of the election. From noon
on Monday Lord Mahon's friends steadily increased,
and at. the close of the poll his return had been
secured by 130 votes over those of his opponent.
Sir Shafto Adair had 49 fewer votes
than the number recorded for him at the
last contest. The constituency contains 9,024 regis-
tered electors, so that it will be observed from the
number of electors polled on Monday(3,4sl and 3,321
respectively) that enthusiasm on either side was
wanting to a very serious extent. Although
East Suffblk has for years been a Con-
servative stronghold, Lord Mahon deserves all
praise for his energy in rallying together
his partisans against the powerful influence accorded
to Sir Shafto Adair in right of his being a resident and
a popular landlord. No fewer than twenty elections
have now taken place since the opening of the year,
sixteen Liberals and four Conservatives having been
returned. The only Conservative gain in this num-
ber was at the Southwark election, and against
this victory the Liberals were enabled to count
triumphs in two new places—Nottingham and
Bridgnorth.

THE TRIUMPHS OF AGE.

When, about forty years ago, says the Telegraph, Europe
suddenly broke out into Young Italy, Young Germany,
Young France, and so on, M. Thiers exclaimed, " What !
are we to have the reign of bibs and tuckers ?" Now the
case is reversed, and greybeards rule the day. One of the
oldest Sovereigns in Europe, King William 1., has been a
conqueror on the field of battle. Saldanha, at eighty,
seizes -power with the strong hand. Espartero, over eighty,
is the much-desired King of Spain. In England itself the
triumphs of ago are by no means contemptible ; Lord
Russell and Lord St. Leonards can still come to the front
with speeches vigorous, if not discreet. In Spain the
demand for Espartero is easily understood. Prim
wants an old or a young head to wear the crown,
while his hand, strong with the vigour of matured man-
hood, may actually guide the State. But certainly the
present and as yet unfinished romance of the Spanish
interregnum is edifying. First, the crown is hawked
about in chase of princes, meeting only refusals. Then a
prince chases it, even killing his man to illustrate his
kingly valour ' • and he meets nothing but refusals. Then
it is offered to Espartero, and even, it is said, to Serrano,
with as yet nothing but refusals. The only man who is
willing to have the crown can't get it, and wherever it is
offered it is refused. Yet the edifice, without being
crowned, seems still firm, and will remain so until some
morning a general more popular than Prim may lead a
few regiments into Madrid, and, after killing a few recu-
sant comrades and kindly fraternising with the rest, may
proclaim for the fiftieth time a new regime based on every-
thing great and good.

County Magistrates.

It is ordinarily the case that justices of the peace
are ',recommended by the Lord-Lieutenant, and ap-
pointed by the Lord Chancellor on such recommen-
dation. But in the Duchy of Lancaster, which has a
Chancellor of its own, the recommendation of
the Lord-Lieutenant . has lately been dispensed
with, and the Chancellor of the Duchy has
made the appointments on his own responsibility.
Hence it happened that Messrs. Fenwick and
Schneider, who were unseated for bribery, crept
into the Lancashire magistracy again, through the
inadvertence of Lord Dufferin. Mistakes of this
kind will be avoided in future. The Government
have resolved to return to their old system of nomi-
nation.

THE ST. &LBAN'S RITUAL CASE.

At the sitting of the Judicial ebiliffiliPe of the Privy
Council this morning judgment was pronounced in the
case of Martin v. Mackonochie, the incumbent of St.
Alban's, Holborn, which . was an application for
a condemnation of Mr. Mackonochie on the ground
that he had violated the monitions of the Court. Their
lordships ordered that Mr. Mackonochie be suspended
from office for three calendar months, and that he pay
the costs of this application.

THE REPLY OF AUSTRIA TO RUSSI i.

Count Ballot's reply to the circular of Prince
Gortschakoff points out that there can be no doubt
as to the mutual obligotions involved by the Treaty
of 1856,, which cannot by one party be modified or
annulled. The fact that Turkey can maintain a fleet
where Russia cannot, could only warrant a desire for a
revision of the Treaty, but never its arbitrary dissolu-
tion. Turkey, he says, is not responsible for the alleged
breach of treaty by the union of the Danubian
principalities. The entry into the Black Sea of
foreign men-of-war having princes on board was a
harmless proceeding, of which Russia should have
complained if deemed objectionable. The Austro-

Hungarian Government learns with painful regret
the resolve of Russia, and expresses its deep sur-
prise thereat. It cannot but , direct the serious
attention of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg to the
consequences of such a proceeding.
A. note of Count Beast, addressed to the Austrian
Ambassador, Count Chotek, at St. Petersburg, re-
futes the allegation which imputed to Count Beust
his. having taken the initiative in this matter in
January, 1867.

THE LEDBURY SCANDAL.

The hearing of the case, "Jackson v. Martin," was
resumed yesterday before the Judicial Committee of the
Privy Council. Their lordships sat later than usual the
previous night to enable Sir Alm Karslake to complete
his argument for the appellant, and the Solici-
tor-General to commence his case for the respon-
dent. Sir John Coleridge, in opening his statement,
contended that the decision at which the Dean of Arches
had arrived was a sound decision, borne out by the whole
bearings of the case. There were certain parts of the evi-
dence which probably their lordships could not and would
not accept as reliable testimony; but he felt convinced that
the consideration which their lordships wouldgive to the case
could not fail to lead 'them to the conclusion which had
,been arrived at by the learned judge of the. lower court,
that Mr. Jackson was guilty of the various charges which
had been brought against him. Dr. Twiss followed on
the same side, and had riot concluded his argument when

A CLERGYMAN FINED.

The Rev. Philip Guille, rector of St. Martin,
Jersey, has been fined £5 and costs for contempt of
court. In June last one of his parishioners named
Becquet brought an action against him under singu-
lar circumstances. The rector refused to allow
Becquet to act as sponsor to a child which had been
taken to the rev. gentleman's church, on the ground
that he was drank. This refusal was accompanied
by a peremptory order to leave the church. For this
proceeding the rector in an action was• con-
demned to pay £5 as damages to his
parishioner. At the trial Mr. (4uille conducted
his own case, and wished to put a question
as to the plaintiff's general habits, but he was
not permitted to do so. This seems to have greatly
annoyed him, and in order to give ex-
pression to his feelings, he published a letter
in which he stated that, had his question been put,

. - -
the judges would have been in a better position to
decide the case, and "to fulfil the solemn engage-
ment they entered into to dispense justice when they
took their oath of office." The court viewed this
letter as a serious libel upon them, and hence the
proceedings, which resulted in a fine for contempt.

Mut. ODO RUSSELL'S JOURNEY.

Mr. Oslo Russell arrived at Versailles after a journey of
seven days. A forty-eight hours halt at Brussels,
says the correspondent of the Standard, accounts for
a portion of the time so spent, during which
a carriage and horses were bought for the further
prosecution of his travels and such diplomatic
counsels were held as it suits the imagination
of each individual to surmise. "Not a little to his surprise,
he found that Count ilismarck—for I will presume that to
that genial statesman the politeness should be attributed
had even at that early stage made preparations
for the journey being both agreeable and de-
void of danger. A Prussian official bad been
dispatched to the frontier to escort Englan
Assistant Under Secretary of State the entire
way to the King's headquarters, and the earliest acquaint-
ance Mr. Russell made with the condition of war which
prevails in fair France was an escort of no Uhlane. As
his road lay from Bouillon past Sedan and M6Ares to
Boulzicourt, the imposing precaution was perhaps not an
idle still, one • one can scarcely translate the presence of
so formidable an escort as other than a well-intended
compliment."

A SHIP IN DISTRESS.—A large St. John's ship,
the Plantagenet, Captain Caverock, from Callao, with a

THE ANGLO-AMERICAN HORSE RACE.

A genuine sporting match, and one of an international
character, has just been made in America, a challenge to
race an English thoroughbred against an American horse
for 25,000 dollars a-side, both animals to be three-year-
olds, and the distance to be two miles, at the Sarata or
Jerome-park Meeting next season, having been accepted,
and the articles duly certified. Nothing is yet known as
to what English horse will be selected, but both 41fimals
are to be named within ti mouth.

THE FRENCH PEASANTRY.

The cause of the suffering French peasantry has
been taken up with thorough earnestness by the
English artists and amateurs in conjunction with
several distinguishel French artists now in London.
The undertaking, too, has met with much sympathy
and substantial assistance from the academicians, and
the general body of artists. The subscriptions to the
fund already amount to £4OO. The exhibition'•com-
mittee intend to forward to Mr. Bullock, the distri-
butor of the Daily News fund, the proceeds of the
French Gallery. It was originally intended that the
exhibition should be held in the large upper room at
the French Gallery, generously placed at the disposal
of the committee by Mr. Willis, but owing to the
large number of pictures tliat design has been
abandoned, and the contributions will be shown at
the gallery of the Society of British Artists. Greater
interest will consequently be taken in the exhibition,
and a selection of works by the eld masters and
deceased British artists will lend an additional
attraction to the undertaking.

THE STATE OF PARIS.

The 211a2iChUter Courier considers the German anticipa-
tions of completing the conquest of France by a coup de
main are not quite so brilliant as they were a few weeks
ago. Possibly they are not, and the reasons are not very
recondite. Winter is approaching with rapid strides, the
weather has been wet and unsettled to an unusual degree.
German troops' are but ill provided for the winter
campaign, and the difficulties of communication are
gradually but steadily increasing. The last seven or eight
weeks have been not wasted in France. The army of the
Loire is no longer a myth, but, on the contrary, a most
striking reality. The one real French victory of the cam-
paign has fallen to its lot, and it now holds a position from
which it would be difficult, if not impossible, to dislodge
it. Other forces are occupying the same kind of position.
Up to within the last few days they have been supposed
to be either non-existent or else of exaggerated strength ;
today they are known to be rapidly improving in power
and in discipline, and to be likely to give a good account
of any enemy with whom they may be brought into
contact.

EARL RUSSELL ON THE EASTERN QUESTION.

Earl Russell, in another letter, says that as a
nation we should stand upon the ground which Lord
Granville has taken. He thinks the neutralisation
of the Black Sea a very effective barrier to Russian
ambition, but no doubt other modes of defence might
be adopted in place of the articles in the Treaty
which Prince Gortschakoff objects to. As for the
sarcasms which have been passed on Turkey, Earl

Russell thinks the internal %vent:tient of the Czar
is as corrupt as that of the Sultan, but says
that the policy of England is to keep Russia
out of Constantinople, and not to maintain
the present administration of Turkey. Earl Russell
sees no difficulty in the way of procuring an embo-
died militia, and believes that. with a sufficient

b3unty they could easily enlist 100,000 men for five
years' service. He adds that the late Baron Roths-
child told him that if the English Government, of
which the noble Earl was then the head, wanted
100 millions sterling, he would be happy to
furnish the sum, so that neither men
nor money would be wanting. He pro-
poses that if the Russian Emperor should ask
for a Conference on the Treaty of 1850, he should be
met in a fair spirit, and that France, Prussia, Italy,
Austria, and Turkey should assemble at a convenient

season, and consider if a substitute can be found for
the neutralisation of the Black Sea. If, on the other
hand, the Czar should propose to set the Treaty
aside by force, Earl Russell declares that he must
be met by force, and the sooner the better.

ACTION AGAINST A U. P. MINISTER.

The Rev. John Stark, minister of the United
Presbyterian Church at Duntocher, cannot be
credited with too much of those Christian
virtues patience and forbearance. It seems
that a meeting was held to consider certain
pecuniary matters connected with a new church. A
man named Garroway, and others who had made
themselves responsible for the work to some 'con-
siderable extent, attended the meeting. For some
reason or other u, disturbance.was anticipated on the
part of Garroway and his companions, and the
chairman of the meeting, without. waiting for
any sighs of a, disturbance, ordered the men
to leave. They refused, still maintaining a
pacific attitude. The Rev. Mr. Stark, however,
whose hostility to these ex-communicants (for such
they appear to have been), is very conspicuous in
the extreme action which he adopted, finding they
would not leave, called in the police, and in the
evening of a summer day they were marched as pri-
soners to the station-house. Mr. Stark insisted on
charging them, but with what offence is not men-
tioned in the report of the case ; and told the police
to detain them until the meeting was over. They
were, however, released, and subsequently returned
to the meeting, where they were allowed to remain in
peace, a fact suggestive of the idea that the minister had
on reviewing his conduct concluded he had made a
great mistake. An action for damages was institu-
ted, and in the case of Mr. Garroway and another,
damages were given against him. The remaining
cases will be brought forward in a superior Court
with a view to substantial damages. The trial
referred to took place in the Small Debt Court at
Dumbarton.

THE GARIBALDIANS AT AUTUN.

M. Gambetta yesterday visited M. de li6ratry at
the camp of Conlie. The Sub-Prefect of Autun
has written a letter to the Journal de Macon stating
'that that the request for lodging Garibaldi's troops in
'the seminaries and colleges of Autun was made to
-the ecclesiastical authorities by the Sub-Prefect
aqd the Municipality, and not by Garibaldi.
The Mobile Guard, numbering 2,000 men, had
occupied all other accommodation. General Can-
zio has written a letter from Autun, dated the 17th
'twit., to the Journal de Macon, stigmatizing the
reports of the proceedings of the Garibaldians at
Autun as base calumnies. The Journal de Macon re-
quires General Canzio to distinctly answer the
allegations of its informants.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.

The following notice has been largely circulated in
Cambridge yesterday morning:---- " To the members of the
Senate,—We, the undersigned, beg leave hereby to record
our protest against the infringement due to the Senate by
the non-placeting of graces without notice having been
previously given. Such a proceeding may lead, through
a surprise, to the rejection by a small minority of a
measure which meets with general approval. We
therefore suggest that in cases where a grace has
been rejected, as the result of a non-placet, of which
notice has not been given, a special congregation
should be held in the next week, at which the same grace
should be brought forward again, with a view to ascertain
the opinion of the majority of the Senate : S. Parkinson,

TAE SUFFERING IN PARIS.

The Paris correspondent of the Daily News on the nth
inst. writes :—We have come to eat " rats and mice and
such small deer." A cat sells for six francs, and the leg of
a dog is a delicacy of the season. But in truth we have
not yet come to the end of our beef and mutton.;
there is a considerable quantity of . salt pro-
visions and preserved meats in store, and there
are 40,000 horses which have to be eaten. -At the
commencement of the siege we had 100,000 horses,
including those of the army. Of these 30,000 have gone
the way of all flesh..-they are consumed. Suppose that
the army requires 30,000 horses, there remain forty
thousand for consumption. Each horse may be sup-
posed to yield 250 kilogrammes of food; and if each
inhabitant is allowed fifty grammes a day, it follows
that there is meat enough in Paris to last for yet another
100 days. This is official, and may be relied on. But
disease and death are spreading fast, and much depends
on food, and low spirits, and anxiety. In a recent
letter I reminded you that in the Sedan week the
deaths in Paris amounted to 900. In the week ending
November 5 the deaths had mounted up to 1,800. In
the week ending yesterday, the deaths reached 1,900.
The deaths from smallpox alone are very terrible.
rn the week ending November 5, they were 380. In
6his last week, they were 419. There area great many
deaths from gastric complaints. It is reported also that
a sentimental, but very real, disease has broken out
among the provincial battalions of Mobiles—home sick-
ness, or, as it is technically called, nostalgia. Many people
laugh at this disease ; they cannot understand it. But
it has a powerful. influence on certain temperaments.
The Scotch Highlanders, en foreign st&tions often suffer
from it, and sink in their graves to the tune of " Lochaber
no more." These pure Celts—the Bretons —are giving
way to the complaint, drooping from mere melancholy.
They lack amusement. Nearly all amusements are at an
end. The theatres are closed by order of the Government,
and it is doubtful if people would flock to them so as tc
make them pay even if they were free to open.

REttoMAtoitie lota,

A. woman nutted It4eley; Whose boy had been
arrested for theft; and whose linsband Was a prison
warder, declared; with startling assurance,. that sit
out of every seven dthividis sift Millbank had had a
reformatory training. She alleged that het husband
had told her so, but when called before the edutt he.
flatly contradicted her. Nevertheless, such a state-
' ment was calculated to create a feeling of doubt
and uneasiness in the minds of the philanthr,pic,
and the Chaplain of the Philanthropic 'Society's
Farm School at Redhill haS written to the papers
on the subject. He assorts that to his knowledge
at one time as many as 18 per cent.,
at another time as few as 4 per cent. of
reformatory boys have been the average re-convict-
tic rts, thus disproving the statement so rashly, yet
Confidently, made by Mrs. Keeley. Singularly
enough; the chaplain adds We once had under
detentidn at Red Hill the son of another prison
warder, who had to pay 4s. a Week towards his
support here; and in this case, the mother of the
boy maintained a chronic state of righteous indigna-
tion against our Morals/ discipline, and everything
else at Red Will, so long ah the payments had to be
made." The West Sussex Gazette charaotaistically
observes :—We are, however, informed upon pretty
tolerable authority that so tar as concerns Roman
Catholio reformatories, about six out of every seven
are re-convicted; although this will not apply to the
Protestant institutions,"
