LONDON, MONDAY, SEPT. 30, 1867.

Of late murders have been unusually rife, and
whether from an increasing demoralisation in the
tone of society, or from that species of morbid
fashion which runs through even the darkest shades
of life, we no sooner have become familiar with the
details of one cruel and bloodthirsty crime than a
fresh revelation startles us from another part of the
country. The catastrophe which we recorded on
Saturday had, however, some distinctive features,
and is of a larger interest than the usual incidents
of the Newgate calendar. In London, surrounded
by all the ordinary protections of life and limb, and
among a population remarkable for their willing
support of the law, we have unhappily become
accustomed to hear of murder and manslaughter in
our very midst. But such cases are usually either
the result of domestic misery or of violent quarrels,
and the affair of Saturday is certainly without a
recent parallel. Three bandsmen of 2d Life Guards,
who performed at different Music Halls,
were in the habit of meeting after
work was over for supper. On their way
home they went into a public-house called the
Turk's Head in Southampton-row, Holborn. While
there an angry discussion arose about the Fenians
in Manchester. Some accounts say that the soldiers
took part in it, others say they did not. At any
rate the assailants seem to have suspected they were
detectives, for the house, it is said, has been long
considered by the police as a Fenian head-quarter.
Two men followed the soldiers when they left, to
the corner of Vernon-place, where they knocked
one of their hats off, and as the man was stooping
to pick it up deliberately fired, and dangerously
wounded his comrade, who was named MWONAD.
The poor man was immediately conveyed to the Uni-
versity Hospital, where it was thought advisable to
take his depositions. The most singular part of the
affair is that the police, in prosecuting their search
for the assassins—who unhappily escaped in the
confusion—have arrested two persons suspected of
Fenianism, both of whom were armed. One of
them, named GROVES, was a sergeant in the Lon-
don Irish Volunteers, and on him was found a large
dagger engraved with the words, " A. sure friend."
On being charged with taking part in the attack on
M'DoNALD he asked to be admitted to bail, but as
he gave the names of two notorious Fenians he was
refused. It appears that GROVES and another man
were in the habit of watching two informers who
had given information respecting Colonel KELLY
when he was living in Rupert-street, Haymarket.
After the apprehension of KELLY the Fenians
resolved that one of these informers should be shot,
and a large reward was decided on. FURBER, one
of M'DONALD'S companions, resembles the in-
former, and it is thought that he was taken for him,
and his two friends for detectives. The informer
in question identities GROVES as the man who
threatened to shoot him some time ago, and also as
being an active agent in the Fenian organisation in
Dublin in 1865. He admits that he was near Vernon-
place on Saturday morning at one o'clock, and also
that he had been at the Turk's Head, finding, per-
haps, that it was useless to deny it. His lodgings
were searched, and a number of papers relating
to Fenianism found, including, of course, the
famous Fenian oath, besides a quantity of bullets
and cartridges, and a loaded revolver. The bullet
which shot M'DONALD exactly fits this revolver.
The other Irishman who was taken into custody
had upon him a six-shooter revolver, which had
been lately fired twice, and a dagger engraved
witk the word " Liberty " upon it. A parcel
was picked up near Vernon-place soon after
the attack, containing a quantity of bullets and
cartridges. Another Irishman was taken with a
loaded revolver, which he said he found in Broad-
street, Bloomsbury. All these revolvers are the
same maker's—a fact which indicates collusion. An
extensive organisation is in existence, it would
seem, in the very midst of the metropolis, coolly
planning murder and fostering treason. It is quite
time that the whole conspiracy was brought to
light, its ringleadears, if possible, secured and pun-
ished, and the rank and file effectually taught that
we do not construe " liberty" by the aid of
daggers and bullets in these days. One thing is
certain, the authorities at Manchester had better
take warning, and not allow themselves to be per-
suaded against their better judgment into interfering
with the strict guardianship of their Fenian pri-
soners. Among the ranks of the conspirators there
are plenty of men desperate enough, or devoted
enough to their leaders, to hazard their own lives
and liberty for the sake of gaining even a tempo-
rary triumph, and a second rescue, in defiance of
the increased precautions, would be a feather in the
cap of the Fenian heroes which it is very undesir-
able they should have the chance of wearing.

We are not surprised that at the recent meeting of
the board of management of the proposed Metro-
politan Asylums the grievous inequality of the
poor-rates should have come under consideration.
The return of the annual rateable value of property
according to the latest poor-rates showed some
startling figures. The present rateable value of
property in the whole metropolitan district is more
than 16 millions, and the required contribution of
one-eighth of a penny will yield over £8,300. But in
some instances the property is assessed at half or two-
thirds of the rack rent, in others at four-fifths, and
in one district only 15 per cent. is deducted for insur-
ance and repairs. In St. George's, Hanover-square,
the property is valued for the county rates at more
than one million, while for the local rates it is only
valued at £822,000. In Poplar the discrepancy is
entirely the other way, the county rate being only
£340,000, while the local valuation is £470,000.
The fact of Poplar being rated for the local rate at
more than half the valuation of St. George's,
Hanover-square, speaks for itself, and it is only
' surprising so oppressive an injustice should
have been so long tolerated. One bad consequence
naturally is, that boards of management are
naturally afraid to undertake large expenses, how-
ever necessary from the fear of pressing unduly on
the poorer ratepayers. Thus, at the meeting on
Saturday, when a very important point came under
discussion—the size of the proposed asylums for
lunatics and imbeciles—the board was checked at
every step by this consideration. Dr. HARVEY, of
Islington, proposed that instead of two asylums for
1,500 each three should be erected for 1,000 each.
He very justly observed that the difficulties of
supervision and classification were very great
in such immense establishments, and it was
absolutely impossible for the superintendents
to keep up the proper close inspection. A gentle-
man who, as manager of the Central London School
at Hanwell, had considerable experience of large
establishments, declared that the principal of some
of them could not even go over the whole of the
establishment in a single day. Mr. Cum., of St.
Giles, quoted the opinion of Dr. COOLLY that no
asylum should contain more than 800 or 1,000

patients; and. Mrs. ANDREW COMBE and SPURZ-
HEIM were of the same opinion. To this we may
add the stn., ig opinion so recently delivered by Sir
JAMES SDI PSON in his capacity as President of
the Malt h Department at Belfast against
overcrowei *ng hospitals. It is true that the
establishnie nts to which Sir JAMES referred were
occupied 'by sick and wounded persons, but the in-
sane and taw tally afflicted also require plenty of air,
and the overcrowding is not likely to produce other
than mischievous .consequences. The additional ex-
pense of mailer And more numerous asylums would
be well compens.lted for by the increased advan-
tages, and in the proposed reforms expense should
not be the first consideration, as the changes will
be permanent.

Sir RoUNDELL PALMER delivered an Address at
the opening of new buildings in connexion with the
Richmond Grammar School, Yorkshire. A dis-
tinguished compauy was assembled to do honour to
the occasion, and the Inaugural Address was a very
good one. The subject of education has for some
time past been one that has engaged a large share of
public attention, and the question is one of such in-
terest and importance that too much care and atten-
tion can hardly be bestowed upon it. The remarks
of the learned gentleman are especially worthy of no-
tice, and can be profitably studied. He commenced
by saying that the associations of the past were one
of the richest legacies of the English nation, and
among the memorials which Richmond could boast
of might be ranked the ancient and famous Grammar
School. The more we consider the subject of edu-
cation the more important it seems in all its bear-
ings ; and, as it is well put in this speech, its aspectS,
both social and political, are significant ones :
socially, in promoting civilisation, and politically in
making men familiar with economical laws—the
guarantee for the right use of position and power,
and the antidote to false levelling notions. The
more widely education is spread the better insight
will men have into those matters of social
position and the claims of all classes, for it is in
almost all cases those who have received a half-
education, or none at all, who are the most mis-
chievous members of society, and those wbo dis-
seminate dangerous doctrines. Happily, nowadays
we may see this feeling very much gaining ground,
and the increase in the number of our schools, and
their more extended influence, attest the truth of
this. Not alone have the more simple and less
pretentious establishments borne witness to this
influence, but likewise the highest and most
important have given proofs of its general
acknowledgment. The conduct of our lead-
ing Universities has of late years changed
for the better, and conspicuous among other
alterations may be mentioned the abolition of
the old close system of patronage. Prizes are now
more exclusively the appanage of merit, the course
of instruction is enlarged, and the formation of
local examinations has tended greatly to increase
their influence and enhance their nature. Other
Universities have sprung into existence of compa-
ratively recent dates, and new public schools have
arisen, without however doing injury to the old and
long-established ones.
Another noticeable feature of the present day is
the formation of the middle-class schools designed
and intended for the benefit of those who are pre-
vented from attending the higher classes, and it is
in every way desirable that they should not be
precluded from some educational advantages be-
cause they cannot avail themselves of the best
resources. No doubt the Government schools
ought to be, as Sir R. PALMER emphatically ob-
served, " local centres of first-rate education." Of
course, in pursuance of this object, they may have
very different ends to pursue, for they should as
much as possible adapt themselves to the wants
and requirements of localities in which they
are placed. Some might be expected to do
more than lead the middle-class education

in commercial districts ; others again might
have to be the connecting link between the
higher education and that simply commercial, while
yet more would have to keep up their place as
on a level with the great public schools.

Sir R. PALMER is one of these who incline
to the older studies as valuable and important ;
and so they undoubtedly are in many respects,
for which we can find nothing else as a substi-
tute. It is gratifying to find so good an autho-
rity come forward as an exponent of the merits
and an advocate of the importance of the pre-emi-
nence of these time-honoured studies and pursuits.
"Classical studies teach the laws of language, which
are tho main instruments of reason ; to be
ab!c to understand other people's words, and to
express one's own thoughts well and intelligibly, are
indispensable foundations for all other progress ;
and, as a means to this end, the study of the Greek
and Latin languages is most important, not only or
chiefly as an introduction to a precious literature,
but as being the best adapted for giving an insight
into the structure of language generally." Those

who persist in decrying the study of classical litera-
ture seem entirely to overtook this important end

which it answers, and there is no reason why tho
cultivation of this study should prevent the atten-
tion of students being given to other branches of
education. It would be an idle sort of progress to
make, and one quite unequal to the demands of the
present day, to elevate one branch at the expense of
the other, and such neglect would inevitably bring
about undesirable consequences. It would be well
if the remarks here made as to the object of teach-
ing and learning were more fully appreciated and
acknowledged, as mistakes and errors are often
made in trying to do too much instead of resting
content with doing a little well. " The object of
education," it is here truly said, "is not
so much to draw as to cultivate the faculties of the
mind." • Those who do not adapt the amount of
learning to the capabilities of the student commit a
fatal error, and one that does away with a great deal
of the benefits of learning.

In Richmond School, as in other places, it is
satisfactory to find that due attention is given to
the study of modern subjects, and French and
German, the national sciences, and other things find
a place in the list of duties to be considered. It
is to be regretted that this grammar school
in question is not better endowed, and it
would be a good thing if those interested
in its welfare would turn their attention to the
subject of its improvement in this respect. Sir R.
PALMER concluded his address by impressing upon
his hearers the importance of energy being employed
to effect the objects in view, and as this school had
in former days won high distinction by the attain-
ments of some of its scholars so it might again.
Senior Wranglers, Archbishops, and Chancellors
have issued from its ranks, and so they may again.
" All the prestiges of life are open to boys with their
opportunities, if they submit to discipline, learn
early the practice of virtue and self-control,
and unite an honourable ambition with a spirit of
modesty and generosity towards others." The
advice here tendered will apply generally to other
plans besides that for which it was immediately
intended, and may be profitably considered by both
masters and scholars. Education is being looked
upon more in its right light nowadays than it used
to be, and people are beginning to think more of

what its effects are and ought to be than merely
pinning their faith toset forms and routine matters as
they used to in bygone times. Still it will not do in
shaking off the prejudices of an earlier generation
to cast aside some of its positive advantages, and
the very material character of the present times
renders it more important that the refining influ-
ences and elevating tendency of superior education
should not be lost sight of. To combine the treasures
of the past with the benefits thathave accrued from
modern progress and discovery may be a difficult
task, but it is one which it is well io accomplish, for
the improvement and interests of society are deeply
involved in its accomplishment.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

PARIS, Sunday Evening.
Information has been received in Paris from
Florence that General Garibaldi, having manifested
the desire to return to Caprera, the Government,
having a similar wish, immediately gave the requisite
permission. General Garibaldi bas therefore left
the fortress of Alessandria, in which he was con-
fined after his arrest, and proceeded to Geneva,
where he was received on board a Government ves-
sel and conveyed to Caprera. The account does not
say that Garibaldi promised to renounce his absurd
attempt upon Rome, but as this was the stipulation
previously mentioned it is supposed that he did so,
and, therefore, all fear of further insurrectionary
movements against Rome may be supposed to be at
an end, at least for the present. The Italian Go-
vernment intends to summon the Parliament with-
out delay, and will ask the consent of the Chamber
to a bill of indemnity for all the measures it adopted
in reference to this Garibaldian mischievous, but
impotent and foolish, attempt.
The Chargé d'Affaires of France at Rome has
exchanged with his Excellency the Cardinal 3ccre-
tary of State, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the
Roman States, the ratifications of the treaty of
commerce recently concluded between. France and
the Pontifical Government.

The King of Prussia has left the Grand Duchy
of Baden for the island of Mainau, on Lake Con-
stance, where are assembled the Grand Ducal family
of Baden, in order to be present at the fête of the
Queen of Prussia, which will be celebrated in a few
days. The Queen of Prussia has also left Baden for
Mainau.

The Turkish Government has just granted to a
Belgian Company the concession of the railways
from Constantinople and Adrianople to Belgrade,
and from Enos to Varna, and from Salonica to
Nisso. The works upon all the lines will be pro-
ceeded with immediately.
Dr. Vernon, formerly deputy and for some years
chief editor of the Constitutionnel, died on Friday
night, after a long illness. His medical attendants
had no hope for some days previously.
The death of another literary man is also an-
nounced—that of M. Ernest Hollander, the founder
of the journal La Situation. M. Hollander died
from pulmonary consumption. He was about 40.
The official accounts relative to the produce of
the vines in Macon and the Beaujolais are to the
effect that it will be deficient to the extent of two-
thirds of the average. The hail, frost, and oidium
did great injury, but it was very partial, as in some
districts the vines were uninjured. As a general
statement, although the quantity of wino in the
Maconais and Beaujolais will be small, it will be
of superior quality.
An Italian journal of influence pretends to know
upon the best authority that Garibaldi had no in-
tention to invade the Roman States unless the sub-
jects of the Pope revolted against him. It adds
that Garibaldi only intended to make a little tour
of. inspection for the present.

A most important incident connected with the
progress of agriculture in France has just taken
place at Petit Bourg, a large farm belonging to M.
Decanville, senior, near Evry-sur- Seine. M. De-
canville is at the head of the agriculturists of France.
With a view to the solution of a great agricultural
problem, M. Lecouteux, the editor of L'Agriculture
Pratique, organised a subscription to pay for the
expenses connected with it, and it took place on
M. Decanville's farm in the presence of several
thousand persons, who all exhibited the most intense
interest in it. There has hitherto been great pre.
judice in France against the steam-plough, but
these experiments gave such entire satisfaction that
all doubt as to the practical success of the steam-
plough is now removed. This result is justly con-
sidered as the most important of any ever
obtained in reference to agriculture in France.
To English agriculturists the success must be
considered as very striking, because it sup-
ports the prestige of England in favour of her
agricultural machinery. The trials are fully re-
corded in the Journal d 'Agriculture Pratique, which
does full justice in its estimation of English pro-
gress, and with great impartiality notices the results
of the famous Newcastle plough of Messrs. Ran-
somes and Sims of Ipswich, and recalls to recollec-
tion that at the experiments made in June, 1864,
under the auspices of the Royal Agricultural So-
practice is better
ciety of England four out of the five prizes awarded
were
however,
as
that at Petit Bourg
experiments were first made to give the French
than theory,gie n
to
shouldiit.
I o
b l stated
agriculturists a perfect idea of the English system of
ploughing, and afterwards another plough was ex-
hibited, in order to show the mode of turning fur-
rows according to the French system. The
earth was turned over in the same manner as
by the French ploughs of Brabant and Grig-
non. The work was performed to the entire
satisfaction of the vast body of agriculturists pre-
sent, including the leading men connected with this
branch of art and industry in France. Experiments
were then made with the turn-wrest plough of Ran-
some and Sons, which were so effective in their
operation that the field was a scene of great excite-
ment. The light English ploughs by the same
manufacturers were then worked by French
labourers, who all declared that they were lighter
and more easy to handle than any of the French
ploughs manipulated on the same day. This decla-
ration of the French workmen was made sponta-
neously, in order that a clear and impartial judgment
should be formed. Upon the whole, the great result
was obtained of removing the doubts hitherto en-
tertained by French agriculturists on the subject.
Some admirable work was performed also by the
steam ploughs. The work done by Fowler's
double ten-horse implement was admitted to be
the best ever witnessed, although cheap. Messrs.
Howard, of Bedford, did not have a fair chance
of showing the capabilities of their system of steam
ploughing, owing to the delay in the arrival of one
of their engines required for their double system of
steam culture, which was detained by the railway.
They, however, did some good work with their
round-about system, driven by one of Messrs.
Garrett's portable engines, but they could not com-
pete with Messrs. Fowler's large cultivator and
eight-furrow plbugh in quantity of land cultivated
or ploughed per hour.
The operations at Petit Bourg have contributed
materially to strengthen the entente cordiale between
that important class, the English and French agri-
culturists, and the experiments were concluded in
characteristic English style by a good dinner, at
which the most friendly feeling was mutually dis-
played. In short, this great international mani-
festation will tend very materially to " speed the
plough" both in France and in England.
A very extraordinary trial for murder will
take place next month before the Court of
Assize of the Dordogne. The accused, a boy
only 15, named Leymaric, is alleged to have
committed the crime in a very artful and methodical
manner. The victim, M. Delbos, a man of fortune,
lodged in the house of the father and mother of the
boy. He occupied two rooms under a barn, to which
free access was allowed to the boy. In the month
of May the prisoner stole some money from Mr.
Dubois, for which the latter reproved him. Those
reproaches engendered a feeling of hatred on the
part of the boy towards the deceased. He bought
a circular chopper, asking at the time if it. would
cut a man's head off, and in the absence of the de-
ceased he removed a board from the ceiling, and

placed the chopper in a box overhead. At night
he went into the barn, and when the deceased was
asleep, he went down into his room from the ceil-
ing, and inflicted such wounds on the chest and
neck that M. Dalbos died in great agony in a few
hours, but was able to point out the assassin before
his death. In order that there could 1. eno trace of
blood on his clothes the boy left them outside near
a pond in which he bathed, in order to remove the
stains of blood from his person.
The weather continues cold and stormy. The
autumnal equinox, which commenced last Monday
afternoon, displayed itself with unusual violence
in Paris for two days, and its intensity has been
only diminished partially. The storm has been still
more violent in the southern basin of the Rhone.
At Valence, Nesvies, and other towns in the south
of France, chimneys were blown down, trees up-
rooted, and houses unroofed. The trains .between
Lyons and Marseilles were delayed for some hours.
The swallows in numerous flights have taken their
departure from Paris for the south. Between Avig-
non and Marseilles the wind was terrific. Addi-
tional locomotives were attached to the trains or
they would have been entirely stopped.

Accounts have been received in Paris of a terrible
fire at the French colony of St. Pierre Mequeton.
Three hundred houses have been destroyed, but
there has not been any loss of life. It was only
two years ago that a similar disaster occurred in the
colony.
The French papers in their notices of the Exhi-
bition institute a searching comparison between the
English and French furniture, and the result of their
inspection, in which I quite agree, is that the French
furniture is the most beautiful and artistic, but it is
more expensive. The English furniture is cheaper
and more useful, as it does not comprise so many
mere articles of fancy. These journals point out a
piece of furniture, manufactured by M. Grohe, as
the most beautiful in the Exhibition. It was made
expressly for the Empress. M. Grohe did not,
hnvvever, enmpete for a prize, as he has already ob-
tained the highest prizes both in Paris and in
London.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ATTACK ON A CONSTABLE BY SOLDIERS WITH THEIR
BELTS.—About 20 minutes past 12 on Saturday night a
constable named John French, 569 A, on duty at the
Marble Arch, was most violently attacked by three soldiers.
It appears that French had just closed the gate at the
Arch when the soldiers walked up and demanded that the
gate should be opened. French refused to open the gate,
upon which one of the soldiers got over the gate, and
called out to his companions to follow his example.
This they did, and they then all three commenced
a most furious attack on the constable, striking him about
the head and face with their bolts, inflicting most severe
wounds. Another constable coming up, and seeing Frenc
on the ground and the soldier beating him, rushed up and
struck one of the soldiers with his truncheon. Tho soldiers
then made off, and the constable followed one of them some
distance, but, being called back by French to assist him,
they succeeded in escaping for the present.
French was taken to the St. George's Hospital, where
he remains in a dangerous state.
