MILIIARY AND NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The engines of the Hercules, armoured iron fri-
gate, of the nominal power of 4,250-horse, and
manufactured by Messrs. John Penn and Son, ex-
hibited at the recent trial of the ship over the mea-
sured mile off Portsmouth an indicated power ex-
ceeding 8,500-horse, the greatest proportion of
indicated to nominal power ever yet attained. The
Hercules is ordered to make a six hours' trial at
sea under similar conditions to those imposed upon
the trials of the Minotaur, Warrior, and Belle-
rophon.
The Orontes, troopship, 3,812 tons, 500-horse
power, has been commissioned at Portsmouth, by
Capt. Henry Phelps, and is being hurried forward
as rapidly as possible, her services being urgently
required. Capt. Phelps commanded the Orontes
for same time before the eose of her last commis-
sion. tier former paymaster an I several other
officers formerly serving in her under Capt. Phelps
have also been reappointed to her.
The liriyal yacht Victoria and Albert, in dock at
Portsmouth for a thorough overhaul and repair to
hull and machinery, will not, it h stated, be ready
for her Majesty's service again before the spring► of
1870. Under these circumstances, it is considered
probable that Mr. Childers may decide, as a mea-
sure of economy, on paying her out of commission.
The screw frigate Sutlej, which is unarmoured
and woolen, is now having the last piece of her
machinery taken out alongside Portsmouth dock-
yard, preparatory to being taken into the breaking-
up dock. It was only in October, 1860, that the
Sutlej made her first speed trial as a new ship over
the measured mile in Stoke's Bay, when she at-
tained a mean rate of speed of 13.076 knots per
hour. She was then considered one of the hand-
somest and swiftest ships afloat. She is now a strik-
ing illustration of the short life and costliness of a
wooden-built ship of war.
Her Majesty's ironclad turret-ship Monarch,
6, 5,100 tons, 1,100-horse power, now completing
for sea in the Medway off Chatham, is orderei to be
taken to Sheerness on Thursday next for a prelimi-
nary trial of her engines at the measured mile off
Maplin Sands.

MISDIRECTED PHILANTHROPY

Mr.just read a paper on "Misdirected
Philanthropy an Economical Question," at a
Begst r opy has
as
meeting of the Social Science Association. Its object
was to inquire whether. the philanthropy of the
present day is not m a great measure misdirected.
In support of this view of the question Mr. Beggs de-
clared that the sums spent m poor rates and charity were
bad investments. He considered that the chief efforts of
all should be directed to save those who are tottering
on the brink of pauperism. To effect this he advised
the revision of the poor laws, the equalisation of the
poor rates, and the adoption of stringent rules
respecting the able-bodied. Employment was the first
necessity for the poor, but he was opposed to Govern-
ment works and to organised schemes of emigration ;
neither had he any hope that prison or workhouse
labour would check crime and pauperism. Mr. Beggs
thought that the best plan would be to reduce the
national expenditure and encourage those public
works which would afford employment to hun-
dreds now in want of it. Another mode
of raising the people would be to improve
their homes, and education would, of course, conduce
materially to the desirable end. He observed, in
conclusion, that the philanthropist had failed in
dealing with the pauper, and that therefore we had
better try the economist.

THE INSURRECTION IN CRETE.

M. Champoiseau, the French Consul in Crete, is inter-
posing in the most active manner to put a stop to the
insurrection. "He intimidates the Greek leaders and
their followers, and conciliates the Cretan insurgents,
promising them the autonomy of the is'and." So aays the
Liberte, seriously enough ; but if M. Champoiseau is really
doing all this, the sooner he is silenced the better. It is
not the business of consuls to interfere in this way. Be-
sides, the insurrection in Crete hangs wholly upon the
question whether Turkey and Greece will or will not go to
war. If they fight, the Cretan insurrection will be pro-
longed, in spite of all that the French Consul can dct

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

this theory, however, we should not forget the

THE OFFICIAL REFORMS.

The official reforms being carried out just now are
exciting great interest in the several departments,
There is a healthy feeling, too, which seems to
exist—a wish to interest the public in and make
them acquainted - with the nature of the proposed
alterations—matters which, as a rule, readers are
wont to shun. A very interesting letter appears in
the Times on the subject. The correspondent suggests
that the reforms, while they are being made, should
go deep enough to remove the chief anomalies of the
service. Not content with merely making changes
within each department, he would redistribute the
business of each. The instance he gives is that of
rivers and fisheries. All sea fisheries, oyster fisheries,
and mussel fisheries are under the Board of Trade,
The same department is also considered to have
charge of all tidal and navigable rivers and estua-
ries. But the Home Office appoint salmon fishery
inspectors, and all matters connected with salmon
fishery are under that department. The cleansing
and purifying of rivers is presumed to be in the
Home Office; but the Board of Trade have jurisdic-
tion to deal with the London water companies.
When any reforms in the way of salmon preserving
are suggested—should the said salmon come up a
navigable estuary—the would-be reformer is referred
about from office to office, until he gives up in sheer
despair. The Times correspondent suggests that
this should be altered. He also contends that Parlia-
ment interferes too much in the business of each
dep- rtment, which it much increases by the continual
calls for needless returns. He promises further
information in a second letter.

A. correspondent of the Star writes protesting
against the appointment of Admiral Robinson as
Controller of the Navy. He declares that he has no
knowledge of shipbuilding, and that the only good
which he can accomplish will be in acting as buffer
to weaken the shock which the Minister might
perhaps receive by (7irect contact with Mr. Reed. In
the same way direct communication bet,veen the
Minister and the Accountant-General is prevented
by a lord, who will act simply as a "go-between."
It is only the perpetuation of the system which makes
no one responsible, keeps each officer in the dark as
to what every body else is doing, and creates a
round-about, in-and-out process of working, which
puzzles all who cannot deeply study it

SPAIN.

Isabella 11. derives much encouragement from the pre.
sent state of affairs in Spain. According to the Paris
correspondent of the Telegraph, she is evidently under the
impression that the Spaniards cannot get on without her,
and that the net result of the revolution will be a return
to the status quo ante bellum. The ex-Queen recently
visited the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The honours of
the sacred edifice were done by a superior attendant, who
was afterwards thanked by a chamberlain in the Queen's
name, and presented with a sum of money. He decisively
refused to accept the honorarium. A few days later
he was summoned to the Pavillon de Rohan, and,
on being received, was begged to choose one of
three or four crosses of different orders that lay
upon a table. Hating taken up a cross of Isabella
the Catholic, he was presented with a diploma, ante-
dated. If this story be true, and the writer vouches for
it, the proceeding was certainly remarkable. The exiled
sovereign would hardly offer a diploma unless she felt con-
fident of soon being in a position to confirm it ; otherwise
both donor and recipient might find themselves in an
awkward position. The newly-decorated attendant is not
to be envied his embarrassment.
All the blood that his been shed at Malaga and Cadiz
has not sufficed to gain the end the Provisional Govern-
ment had in view. Their victory in the streets has been a
substantial moral defeat. Frightened by the resistance
offered by the outcry throughout the Peninsular Prim and
his colleagues have allowed the reorganisation of the militia
to be effected by the commanders and other officers of the
militia itself, and not, as at first intended, by the Govern-
ment authorities. The volunteers retain their arms, and
may reform their organisation, as they deem it expedient.
Government has given in. The victory of the Republicans
at the Cadiz municipal elections, just after the insurre2-
tion, has been a great blow to the Monarchists. They
were defeated in the proportion of seven to two.
London, England, 1869-01-13

THE HOPE OF TIIE CONSERVATIVES.

The upholders of the Irish Church will not—do
or say what you will—believe it is " doomed?
The Protestants of the North of Ireland have passe
a resolution declaring such an idea to be party
heresy. And Colond Wilmot, the Conservative
candidate at the South Derbyshire nomination,
seemed quite hopeful that the Irish Church would
live as long as he should. He said he looked upon
the question as very far from being settled,
great as the Government majority might be. They
had a remarkable instance fresh in their memories.
of what might become of large Liberal
majorities. They saw the position in which they
were placed when they had a majority of seventy at
their backs. They dwindled away—to use a simile
which one of his kind Liberal opponents supplied
him with—like the American man of snow. Did
they mean to tell him that the Irish Church was not
surrounded with as many difficulties as the Reform
question ? He hoped to see that majority again
dwindle away.

THE SCOTCH CLERGY AND THE IRISH CHURCH.

An analysis has been published of the Glasgow
and Aberdeen Universities election, which is interest-
ing as spewing the attitude of the Scotch clergy on
the question of disestn blishment. It appears that the
great bulk of the ministers of the Established
Church of Scotland-403 out of 420—voted for
Mr. Gordon, the Conservative candidate, while
only eleven voted for Mr. Moncreiff. The
proportion is reversed when we come to
the Free Churches. Of the Free Church, properly
so called, 108 voted as Liberals, 8 as Conservatives.
Of the United Presbyterians, 219 voted as Liberals,
nine as Conservatives, and only one was neutral.
The English and Irish Presbyterians, Independents,
and other denominations gave Mr. Moncreiff 228,
and Mr. Gordon wily 14 votes : Mr. Gordon had a
majority of doctors, but Mr. Moncreiff had
.1t
majority of lawyers, students, merchants. and,Archt-
bxth.

SCARLET FEVER.

Great interest must be felt in the progress which
is made by medical science in the prevention of
scarlet fever. The tragic effects of this disease, which
kills 20,000 individuals yearly, have been so heavily
felt that all information on the subject will be
eagerly welcomed. Dr. Budd, of Bristol, has con-
tributed a paper to the British Medical Journal, in
which he is confident that the spread of scarlet fever
may be largely prevented. lle advises that the
greatest care should be taken in the management of
the sick room, in order that the spread of infection
may be checked as much as possible, and that some
disinfecting fluids should be constantly used. Dr.
Budd proposes that oil should be rubbed into
the body of the patient until he is sufficiently reco-
vered to have warm baths. Whether the illness ends
in death or recovery the dresses worn by the nurses
should be washed or destroyed, and the bed and room
thoroughly disinfected. By this means taint is finally
extinguished. Dr. Budd declares that by the adop-
tion of these precautionary measures he has never
known, the disease to spread beyond the sick room,
and his experience extends over twenty years. It is
high time that some more concerted measures should
be taken to abate the ravages of this terrible scourge,
and the two elements in the method here proposed
are separation on the one hand and disinfection on
the other.

FIRE 11V CHEAPSIDE-THIS DAY.

This (Wednesday) morning, at a few minutes
before four o'clock, great excitement was caused
amongst the warehousemen in Cheapside, owing
to the outbreak of a fire in the large premises num-
bered 135 in that neighbourhood. The buftling
was occupied by Mr. T. N. Mapleson, a cotton
agent, Mr. Hurwitz, and Mr. D. Reed, a merchant
tailor. The discovery was made by the police-
constable on duty, who, on passing along the back
of Cheapside, had his attention directed by a strong
smell of wood burning. Feeling convinced that a
fire was burning iu one of the buildings, he made a
search, and in the course of a few minutes he
found flames rolling out of the back warehouse
on the first floor, which was tenanted by Mr.
Mapleson. The officer at once sounded the alarm,
and went off to Wailing-street for the engines.
Captain Shaw and numerous officers of the Metro-
politan Brigade, with a full complement of firemen,
engines, and escapes, as well as the London Salvage
Corps, with Mr. Superintendent Swanston, arrived
at the seat of danger. The flames by that time had
reached the yard, although several of the interme-
diate stores had not been attacked by the fire. The
stairs, however, were in a general blaze. The mains
of the water company having been drawn a splendid
supply of water was obtained, from which a couple
of Shand, Mason, and Co.'s land steamers were set
to work, and the hose of each machine having been
conveyed up the stairs, the firemen were enabled to
combat with the flames at each point, and they were
soon extinguished. The damage done, however,
is consider►ble, and is thus officially reported by
Captain Shaw :—" Back rooms on first floor and
front rooms on second floor and contents were se-
verely damaged by fire, the stairs nearly destroyed,
the upper part of house and contents by heat and
smoke, and part of roof off. The stock in shop
slightly damaged by water and fire. Insurances at
present unknown."

Mr. Whitmore, M.P. for 13ridgnorth, has re-
signed the office of Conservative " Whip," to which he
was appointed by Mr. Disraeli in 1855 as successor to Lord
Mandeville, now Duke of Manchester.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 12.

Further particulars have been published of the
capture of the Cretan Insurrectionary Government,
after a fight resulting in the death of four of their
members. Their archives fell into the hands of the
military, and are said to contain a highly compro-
mising correspondence.
London, England, 1869-01-13

THE EPISCOPATE.

A correspondent in India writes in the highest
terms of the Bishop of Calcutta. He was to remaix
five days at Lahore, and during that time would hole
twelve services or meetings. He was to address thi
workmen engaged on the railway, and to preach at a
Hindustani service in the bazaar. He was also t<
visit the European prisoners in the gaol
Inspect tne scnoots, address the soldiers, pay
a visit to the Presbyterian mission school,
and hold a confirmation. His immense diocese in-
cludes Bengal, Burmah, Moulmein, the North-West
Provinces, Oude, the Central Provinces, and the
Punjab. He hopes to visit every part in two years.
Previous bishops have generally taken four years.
His heart and soul are in his work, and he looks upon
his position as a most solemn responsibility, and not
in the light of a worldly advantage. All the charges
about Ritualism are simply false, and seem to have
been concocted by " that stiff Baptist publication, the
Friend of India," whose editor, by the way, is the
Calcutta correspondent of that leading journal in
which the charges appeared.
The Bishop of Salisbury had arranged ror an ex-
tensive series of confirmations in his diocese, but
being prevented by illness from carrying it out him-
self, he has arranged with the Bishop of Sodor and
Man to do so ; and Dr. Powys, having virtually no
episcopal duty, can easily accomplish this without
neglecting his own diocese.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

Professor Mason lately spoke at Edinburgh, at a
meeting of the Scottish Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals, and observed that the only
objection made to such in institution was, that it
encouraged sentimentalism. In speculating upon
this theory, however, we should not forget the
advance. that

AMERICA.

There is, unfortunately, too much reason to fear that the
settlement of the Alabama claims will be much impeded
by the uncompromising nature of the American demands.
English statesmen desire to see the end of this difficulty,
both because England will be most benefited by an inter-
national judgment on such a question, and because
unfriendly relations between the two countries are pre-
judicial to the interests of both. But this sentiment is
not reciprocated in the United States. The Americans
do not like England, and rather desire that we should
know it. Mr. Reverdy Johnson's efforts as a peace-
maker only draw upon him the hostility of the Republicans.
There is no talk of war, but there is, says the correspon-
dent of the Times, a good deal of earnest determination to
ask much more of England than she seems disposed to
yield. The press, for the most part, opposes the terms
of the settlement recently announced, and advocates
Mr. Johnson's recall. Intelligence from other sources
confirms these unfavourable omens. The correspondent
of the Telegraph believes that Mr. Seward is really
anxious, notwithstanding all that has been said to the
contrary, to pass a settlement through the Senate ; but on
the part of most American politicians there is an increas-
ing indifference or unwillingness to conclude the matter.
Whatever protocol may be agreed upon must secure the
ratification of two-thirds of the Senate. Mr. Reverdy
Johnson has few friends in that body, and it is there-
fore likely that the credit of settling this dispute will be
reserved by the Republicans for themselves, and that they
will send out another ambassador. It is certain that many
of the leaders wish to do this.

The progress of the negotiations under Mr. Seward's
management is still the subject of very conflicting state-
ments. One account affirms that Mr. Seward insists upon
England admitting her liability, leaving only the amount
to be settled ; another that he assents to an arbiter, but
desires that the choice shall be ratified by the Senate.
This does not exhaust the list of versions : the New York
papers publish fresh " settlements" weekly.

SPAIN.

MADRID, Jan. 12.

The Epoca mentions a rumour, according to
which General Cialdini will remain at Madrid in
the quality of Italian Envoy Extraordinary.

The same journal publishes a notification assert-
ing that the candidature of Prince Amadeus, of
Italy, had been agreed upon between one of the
members of. the Provisional Government, General
Cialdini, and the French Minister; that the
scheme had also the support of Senor Olzozaga,
at Paris, and was approved by the Emperor

Napoleon.
The Epoca is of opinion that this candidature
will be energetically opposed by the press and by
public opinion.

In the Basque provinces the example of Cata-
lonia has been followed in offering large sums of
money and numerous volunteers for the pacification
of Cuba. 10,000 soldiers have also volunteered to
be employed on the same service.

RUSSIA AND ENGLANDt

The 21Ioniteur says that the incessant encroachments of
Russia in Central Asia have led to " representations " on
the part of the English Ambassador at; St. Petersburg.
" The English Governinent views with some concern the
attitude which Russia is taking in that part of Asia, and
desires to elicit, as soon as possible, the inten-
tions of the Czar in that quarter. The Moniteur
—which is no longer an official journal—may have got hold
of a story with some foundation of truth. It is possible
that our Ambassador may have made inquiries respecting
the prohibitive duty which has been levied on all Indian
goods imported into Central Asia, and that this little fact
has been elaborated in the true Parisian style. It is greatly
to be desired that our Government should make " repre-
sentations " of this kind.

CRIMINAL SUPERVISION.

A correspondent of the Times writes in favour of
the supervision of criminals, and relates an incident
that took place some years ago to confirm his belief.
The superintendent of police in a northern borough
resolved to put a stop to the fighting that took place
at the annual fairs held in the vicinity. He accord-
ingly searched the doubtful lodging-houses, and sent
those who could not give a satisfactory account of
tnemseives to tine gaol fora nignt and a day, and the
result was that no fighting or robberies took place at
the fair. The advantages of the preventive system
are shewn in another statement. Some years ago
the railway between Edinburgh and Ber Wick was
infested with card-sharpers. On one occasion
the superintendent of the police for the county
happened to be travelling in the same train
with a party of this class, some of whom
were returned convicts, and' at the first large
junction they came to he went along the
entire train and warned everyone that there were
card-sharpers 'in the carriages, and where he knew
them he pointed them out. This decided move put
a stop to the nuisance, and the objectionable visitors
disappeared altogether film the neighbourhood.
