THE DALMATIAN INSURRECTION.

The North-East Correspondence is of opinion that the
Austrian troops will 'continue their offensive operations,
but the Fremdenblatt of Vienna believes that nothing will
be done this winter to check the rebellion in an effective
manner. In the spring it will be far easier
to take possession of the refractory districts
without having recourse to fatiguing manoeuvres
and exhausting struggles. In the Southern part
of Dalmatia the rebellion is pretty well crushed. The
Prince of Montenegro is said to have addressed a note to
the Cabinet of Vienna, in which he declares that the laws
of neutrality have been violated, through the balls which
were directed against the insurgentshaving reached his ter-
ritory. A correspondent of a German paper states that
the Prince has resolved to join the insurgents if the
insurrection is not put down by the 15th of November.
A great deal has been said with respect to the negotiations
of the Aestrian Ministers with the Sublime Porte; but all
that they have asked for in respect to the Dalmatian in-
surrection is,that the Porte should undertake to guard the
frontiers of Herzegovina and Albania with a military force
to prevent any succour reaching the enemy. Some officers
from Agram who were formerly stationed at Cattaro have
joined the army of operation, in order that they may act
as mediators with the rebels.

TUMMY.
The Turkish Minister of War has submitted to the
Sultan a new military law. Instead of 150,000 men,
Turkey will henceforth have 200,000 soldiers in time of
peace, and in war time 400,000. The reserve contains 300,000
men. The chief obstacle to this plan is the state of finan-
cial embarrassment in which the country is already placed,.
It may well be asked, says the .2%reiv Free Press, against
what enemy Turkey is preparing herself by the adoption
of this scheme. The general conclusion to which the
Great Powers have come as to the postponement of the
Eastern question affords the best security for the
Ottoman Empire, and it would be folly for its
Government to commence complications of its own accord.
It is telegraphed from Constantinople that the Khedive's
reply to the Sultan, although couched in respectful terms,
does not satisfactorily dispose of the fundamental question,
but this contremps can hardly account for the project of
increased armaments which has been treated of in the
Vienna Press. The Sultan having definitely relinquished
the idea of going to Egypt, all the preparations for his
voyage have been suspended. According to a despatch from
Constantinople it seems that the Sultan entertained
the idea of departure up to the last moment, and that the
Turkish Government looked upon the voyage as a settled
thing. It must have been finally abandoned for political
reasons.

TIIE REVIVALISTS.

The "Revivers of British Industry," alias recipro-
city advocates—new Reciprocity being but old
Protection writ large —do not seem to
be getting it altogether their own way
amongst the working classes. Their meetings aro
disturbed by the presence of a large body, nearly
equal to themselves in numbers, the leaders of whom
dispute their position, deny the force of their argu-
ments, and question their statements. It may
be guessed that the Revivers' demonstrations thus
become lively affairs. At a meeting held on
Friday at Shoreditch to denounce the free trade of
this country, some members of the late Reform
League attended, moved amendments to the resolu-
tions, and succeeded in carrying nearly half
the meeting with them. Amidst consider-
able interruption, however, the reciprocity
motion was declared to be passed. It ordered
a petition to the Queen to be drawn up, " praying
for the appointment of a committee, consisting of
twelve judges, for the purpose of instituting an
inquiry into the operation of free trade in this
country." The terms of the petition are ambipous.
Do the memorialists want twelve of her Majesty's
law judges, Chancery or Common, to descend from
the bench to settle the debated question ? Fanoy
Sir Alexander Cockburn, in whose mind the question
was answered. years ago, having to waste his time
by taking evidence on the subject ! Sir Fitzroy
Kelly, the Chief Baron of the Exchequer Court,
would probably ascribe all the present distress to the
malt tax.

SERVICE ITEMS.

The news of the Army, the Navy, and the Civil
Service is very scanty this week. As to the Army
there is literally nothing, except a denial of the report
which we noticed a fortnight ago, of the abolition of
battalion adjutancies of militia. The Navy may be men-
tioned in connection with the fact that the
recruiting of sailor boys has been suspended in the
London and Manchester districts ; and it may be
added that much indignation is felt at the non-
, representation of the navy at the Lord Mayor's
banquet the other day, when Mr. Childers, a civilian,
had to return thanks for it.—The half-military, half-
sailor-like Marine Light Infantry are to have the
Glengarry foraging cap and "chaco" supplied to them.

The directors draw special attention to the fact that the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate
in the same.
The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

ROMANCE AND CRIME.

On Saturday, in the Wolverhampton Police-court;
Francis Love was charged with stealing £lO5. Not many
years ago Love was coachma n in a county family in the
northern division of Staffordshire, where there were two
daughters. The fellow was not bad looking, and he managed
to win the affections of one of the young ladies, who ran
away with him, and they became husband and wife. The
other daughter was shortly afterwards married to a gen-
tleman who is now one of the members for an English
county, and was amongst the batch of baronets made
before the last Government left office. Love and his wife
lived at Mossgate, near Longton. At Yarnfield, near to
Newcastle-under-Lyme, a neighbouring town to Longton,
there lives a farmer named George Plant. Plant is married,
and his wife had been the widow of a Mr. Hyatt, of the
came part of the Kingdom, who, upon his death, left her
an annuity of about £2OO. A disagreement occurred
between Mr. and Mrs. Plant, and they deter-
mined to separate. Mrs. Plant went to live with
a brother who resides at Black Lake, which is close
to Mossgate. An intimacy sprang up between her and
Love, and they soon afterwards left together. By and by
they found their way to Wolverhampton, where they took
rooms in a low neighbourhood, known as Stafford-street,
and furnished them, living together as man and wife. At
about the beginning of the second week of last month
over £lOO became due to Mrs. Plant, under the annuity
of her first husband, and she and Love went together
to Stone, in North Staffordshire, and received it. B,eturn-
ing with her paramour to Wolverhampton, Mrs. Plant
deposited the money in a drawer, from which her allega-
tion is that Love took it, as well as her gold watch, and
then decamped, she knew not whither. A warrant was
issued, and his description given in the hue and Cry. He
had gone to the United States, whence, however, he re-
turned, having spent only a few days in New York. He re-
appeared in Wolverhampton on Friday. After hearing at
his former lodgings that Mrs. Plant had gone to Newcastle,
and, determining to follow ber as quickly as possible,
be went to a neighbouring eating-house to examine a rail-
way time table, Quite unaware that he was " wanted,"
he made no effort to conceal his identity. Under the
pretence of searching for the time-table, the landlady, who
knew of the warrant, kept him waiting till she had
informed the police, and he was arrested. He was before
the magistrates on Saturday, but the short period since his
arrest had made it impossible for Mrs. Plant to attend, and
he was remanded. The prisoner's age is somewhat over
30, and Mrs. Plant is quite eight years his senior. His
liking for his new love did not last long, for he could not
have been living with her more than six months before he
ran away to America.

POLICE /N 2 ELLIGENCE.-7ka Day,

BOW-STREET.
LIFE IN A NVOEKIIOUSE.7—T strapping young women
named MaCartby and Conner were ',Jewel before Mr.
Vaughan, charged wish creating. a disturbauee yesterday
in St. Giles's workhouse.

The officer attached to the establishment said yester-
day the prisoners, both of whom had beou inmates of the
workhouse for the last 10 years, had a quarrel about
a shilling, and as they could not stitle the difference they
resolved to fight it out. They went into•the yard, where
there were about a hundred of the inmates, and a ring
having been formed the two women went is and began
fighting iu the most desperate manner. The people living
in the houses surrounding the place were attracted to their
windows, and altogether a most disgraceful scene was
presented. As soon as it was possible ho separated the
two women, but it was a work of some difficulty, as they
held each other so tightly by the hair ; they were both
very unmanageable paupers, and they defied the autho-
rities of the place.

Macarthy said the statement of the officer was all un-
true. They bad a row in the hall, but not in the yard,
and, as for the people looking out of their windows, it was
a pity they had'ut something better to do. If she had
been in the house nine or ten years they had had the
value of the vietuals'she got out of her, for they made her
work hard enough.

Conner also ;aid the "row" was in the hall, and she
only stood up fur her rights.

Mr. Vaughan said it was most disgraceful that two yaung
women, who had been lazy enough to remain in the house
for ton years, and all that time be a burden on the rate-
payers, could not conduct themselves in a quiet and
orderly manner. The least they could do was to behave
themselves, but, as they appeared disinclined to do that he
should send them to prison for 14 days, and they would
have an opportunity of learning what hard work in a
prison was.

Macarthy—All riglft, old boy. I'll do the 14 days
I'll do a month for that sneaking officer when I come out.
Conner—And so will I. Go it, old gal ; don't funk
about 14 days.

THE NAVAL COMMAND IN IRELAND.

The death of Rear-Admiral Warden, C. 8.,
Commander-in-Chief of Ireland, places an important
post vacant. The rumour goes that it is not to be
tilled up. The story should not be implicitly relied
upon, however. It is exceedingly unlikely that
,just
now, while demands are being made for more effec-
tual security across St. George's Channel, and at a
time when the press is discussing the advisability of
sending more troops to Ireland—that any reduction
will be made in the fighting staff of that country.

The stipendiary magistrate at Worship-street
Police-court is cruelly attempting to deprive the
London poor of the line supply of diseased cow which
charitable butchers and dairymen are hind enough to
furnish. It has been the custom for cow-
keepers to sell for food all animals whose
yield of milk is not sufficient to prove
remunerative. A. cow afflicted with pleura
pneumonia does not (-rive a remunerative supply of
milk ; ergo the London dairymen regularly sell their
diseased cows for the meat market. But
the inhuman magistrate at Worship-street has just
fined a butcher forty shillings for offering as meat the
flesh of two cows that had been slaughtered whilst
suffering from pleuro-pneumonia. The Sanitary
Inspector deposed that he found the meat " lean, wet,
and unwholesome: " the Medical Officer of Health
deposed that it was unfit for human food. Thus on
the testimony of these two prejudiced persons, the
butcher's property has been confiscated, and the
supply of diseased cow has been cut off. The maos-
trate seems to have laboured under an uneasy im-
pression of the enormity of his proceedings. He fined
the butcher only forty shillings. Some men have
been committed to prison for a like offence.

TUE IRISH MASTERSHIP OF THE ROLLS.

It has at last been definitely decided that Mr. Sul-
livan, the present Irish Attorney-General, shall be
made Master of the Dublin Bolls Court. So that
eminent lawyer has preferred legal advance-
ment to political and parliamentary fame.
It has all along been understood that lie
was pressing hardly for the conferment
of the Mastership upon him. But Mr. Gladstone was
in want of him in Parliament, to help in the discussion
on the Land Bill—to be, in fact, to the Liberals what
Dr. Ball was to the Conservatives in the discussion
on the Church Bill. Mr. Sullivan, however,
refuses to hold that position. An Irish
judgeship does not fall within a man's grasp
very many times ; and he is determined to keep the
bird while he has it in his hand. He will be able
to draw up, and help in the completion of the
Land Bill; but will retire from Parliament
during its discussion. Mr. Waters, Q.C., brother-
in-law of the Lord Chancellor, is to contest in the
Liberal interest the borough of Mallow, the repre-
sentation of which Mr. Sullivan must resign.

If:: S'f I N 6

Next Tut.sday the w,:nination for Hastings will
take place. There are still only two candidates, Mr.
Robertson for the Conservatives, and Mr. Kay-
Shuttleworth for the Liberals. Mr. Vickers, who
threatened at one time to divide the Liberal interest,
has thought better of it and retired.

THE PEILMISSIVE BILL.

-- -----
The working classes are evidently moving in the
temperance cause. A large meeting of artisans and
others was held in Westminster on Friday night.
About 1,500 wore present, and several working men
made speeches. A series of resolutions was adopted,
pledging the meeting to the support of the Permis-
sive Bill principle as introduced to Parliament by Sir
Wilfrid Lawson. Several of the speakers advocated
the entire closing of public-houses both on week-
days and Sundays.

This Hospital, folnded in the year 1828, the first to
establish the principle of free admission to the sick poor,
without tho delay and difficulty of Governors' orders, is
wholly dependent for support on voluntary contributions
and legacies.
It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged be-
tween 3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the assistance of the
benevolent, as the premises of this hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds had the Committee
tho requisite funds to maintain them.

MILITARY EDUCATION.

Major. General De la Warr finds fault with the
recommendations of the Royal Commission on
Military Education. Ono provision stipulates that
all cadets who pass the tests at Sandhurst shall have
free commissions granted them. Another provides
that the purchasers of direct commissions—those who
buy their rank and go straight to the army
without any attendance at college—are to be
furnished with military instructors to teach them
their duty. Is this just? asks the Major General.
Ought the purchasers of direct commissions to have
their rank and pay before learning their duties,
whilst the students at Sandhurst must become pro-
ficient before they are classed as officers ? Under the
system of free commissions to be gained by special
training at Sandhurst, and direct admission by
purchase without ally training at all, regi-
ments will henceforth consist of "real, genuine "
officers understanding their work, and a vary-
ing number of apprentices, with the same rank
and pay, at the expense of the country, learning it.
Such a distinction cannot be kept up long.
THE NEW BISHOPS.

Two more of the new Bishops are gazetted. Dr.
Wilberforce has only had time just to bid farewell
to his clergy when the official announcement appears
of his transference to Winchester. Lord A. C.
Hervey's appointment to the Bishopric of Bath and
Wells is also notified. The retiring Bishoy of Win-
chester retains Farnham Castle as his residence for
the remainder of his life ; neither does the late
ecclesiastical lord of Bath and Wells vacate his
official mansion. So Dr. Wilberforce and Lord
UervgY lYalhAvo_ish_Drovide their_ own liouses. To

VAST LONDON HOSPITAL for CHILDREN
-I-4 The Committee earnestly desire to raise funds which
shall enable them to establish the Hospital in more suit-
able buildings. The premises now occupied are crowded
and inconvenient, causing additional expense from that
circumstance. It is impossible even to purchase on whole
sale terms many articles of daily consumption from wan-
of room for stowage, every inch of available space being
ocoupied. There is a daily demand for more beds, and the
staff of nurses would bo able to attend upon more children,
but no more can be admitted in the present building.
£B,OOO at least is required to carry out this much-wished-
for and urgent scheme.

Another meeting will be held to-day.

At a meeting yesterday, which took place at the
Folies Belleville, M. Rochefort denied having any
connection with the Orleanist party. Among other
things he 5ai41,.....“ I have a son eight years old
who is not baptised, and he never shall be." g•
Rochefort then contradicted the report of the
expressions he had made yesterday respecting g'
Ledru Rollin. What he had said was that M•
Rollin did not realize to himself the present state
of public feeling, and had not taken a correct view
of the position of affairs.

MARLBOROUGII-STREET.

A GENTLEMAN CHARGED WITH CRUELTY TO A HORSE.
—Mr. Thomas Grimaton Deards, gentleman, of No. 1,
Princes-cottages, St. Peter's-road, Hammersmith, was
charged before Mr. Mansfield with cruelty► to a horse by
working it in an unfit state.
Daniel Palmer, 54 C 14 proved seeing the defendant
in Coventry-street, yesterday, driving a horse attached
to a phaetcn, and noticing the horse had a false collar
on, he told him to stop, and on examining the horse found
it was not in a fit state for work, having sore shoulders,
and a discharge from them. Defendant got down, and
said, "Oh, it's nothing; it's only Russian tallow, and the
false collar is to prevent chafing." The horse was in bad
condition, and on the way to the station the defendant
said he hoped it would not be serious, and offered
him ss.

The defendant said that finding the horse had sores he
gave it a month's rest, and having fed it rather too well he
brought it out yesterday for exercise.
Hem y Taylor, officer of the Royal Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals, said he had examined th•
horse, and on the point of each shoulder there was an old
wound, and the horse was unfit for Work.
In reply to Mr. Mansfield; the witness said the horse was
an aged ono and in very weak condition.
Mr. Mansfield fined the defendant 108. or seven days.
