THE NEW ILIAD.

The Morning Advertiser has for some time past
been writing up the claims of Mr. Homer, the ex-
gin-palace keeper, to the votes of the electors of
Hackney. A few days ago a sensation story was
told about a man being seen with an open knife
ready to plunge it into the ex-victualler's back. The
tale has not produced the desired result. Though Mr.
Homer offered £lOO for the discovery of his assassin,
who was, as it is alleged, seen by a roomful of people,
no one has come forward to claim the money. A.
new appeal is now made. Mr. Homer, it seems,
finds the hire of professional pugilists a costly amuse-
ment, and so the Advertiser appeals to the " trade "
to subscribe towards the expenses of their brother.
We are inclined to think that we shall very shortly
have the privilege of reading a new " Iliad," which
will differ from the first in that it will record the fall,
not of Troy, but of Homer.

RAPID FIRING:

According to the Standard, some important remarks
concerning the firing of our troops were made recently
at Woolwich by the Duke of Cambridge. Under
the present system, infantry, when formed in a line,
are ordered to fire independently at an imaginary
enemy. The result is a continued sheet of flame
and a dense cloud of smoke, out of which the reports
of the rifles rattle with a rapidity that blends them
all into one, and doubtless affords the spetators an
admirable idea of the enormous increase of the power
of infantry fire. But the pleasure of spectators is
not to be considered. By this system the soldiers
are being trained to waste their ammunition. The
great objection to the breechloader was that
the soldier would fire away his bullets too quickly,
and exhaust them ere the close of the battle. Our
troops are encouraged by independent firing to throw
their shot away. They manage these things better
in Prussia. There the soldier is trained to reserve
his fire. The men are ordered to fire by sections, or
by companies. No man fires until he is bidden to do
so by his officer or non-commissioned officer. In this
way the importance of holding back their ammu-
nition is impressed upon them ; and they learn
coolness and patience in the noise of action. Besides,
under these conditions, the soldiers can see what they
arc about, whereas, directly independent firing with-
out check commences, the entire line is enveloped in
a mass of smoke, and not a man can have the least
idea of where he is aiming. The Commander-in-
Chief is said to have expressed himself very strongly
on this point ; and there is every probability that ere
long something may be done to remedy the evil.

" INFLUENCE " AT CARDIFF.

The Telegraph calls attention to a monstrous system
of canvassing which Mr. Giffard has inaugurated at
Cardiff. He has sent to several amateur agents
of his in Cardiff a circular beginning " Dear
sir, will you kindly canvass the person
named on the other side, and report the
result on the space left for that purpose ?"
Overleaf is the following : "If a distinct promise
cannot be obtained, please state the name of the
voter's employer, or that of any other person likely
to influence him." Is not this really too bad ? Would
that we might abolish canvassing altogether.

NEW ZEALAND.

A number of official reports were presented to the
Governor of New Zealand on his arrival in the colony.
They contain facts of much interest bearing upon
the disaffection amongst the Maories. The great majority
in the North of Auckland are disinclined to take up arms,
partly because industrial pursuits are found more
profitable, and partly through fear of the Southern
natives. In other districts the feeling of the Maories
towards the colonists is described as being very friendly.
But the officials in portions of the South fear that
much time will elapse before general peace prevails.
The natives in these districts are partial to guerilla war-
fare, and have not, it appears, acquired those habits of
industry which keep the Maories of the North quiet; But
the comforts enjoyed by the peaceable natives are begin-
ning to he appreciated by the more warlike tribes, who do
no', comprehend why they should be starved, amongst the
hills and swamps, whilst their brethren are well-to-dot

THE LATE SHIPWRECK ON THE COAST OF
DORSET.—It. will be remembered that on the 25th ultimo
a distressing shipwreck took place off Kimmeridge Ledge,
the schooner Liberty, of Portsmouth, foundering, when
all hands perished. The National Lifeboat Institution
has a lifeboat at Chapman's Pool, which, like the small
coastguard lifeboat at Kimmeridge, failed entirely to
get out to the schooner owing to the force of the wind
and sea, which were unusually heavy on that day. Capt.
J. B. Ward, R.N., the inspector of lifeboats of the National
Lifeboat Institution, has just visited the locality with the
view to the society stationing a lifeboat at Kimmeridge, if
practicable. It appears that ho is st it of opinion that Chap-
man's Pool is the most suitable place of the two for a
lifeboat station, if one boat only should be placed in
that locality. He recommends, however, that a small life-
boat should be placed at Kimmeridge Bay at the opposite
side to where the coastguard lifeboat is stationed. It
should, nevertheless, be mentioned that no loss of life has
occurred for a very long period to vessels getting on shore
in the neighbourhood of Kimmeridge. The schooner
Liberty, above referred to, did not strike the ground at all,
but sunk in deep water from having been sent to sea in an
unseaworthy state.
Capt. Murdoch, Royal Artillery, and Lieut.
Rogers, 102 d Fusiliers, have completed a course of
six months' training at the Military Gymnasium,
Aldershott, and received certificates of qualification
for gymuttotio instructors,

AN ELOPEMENT IN LIVERPOOL.—On Monday
(says tho Liverpool Courier) there was a good deal of gossip
current on the Exchange flags, owing to a rumour that a
gentleman, well known on the flags, had levanted with
another gentleman's wife. The report was at first treated
as a canard, but as the day wore on it was very clear that
the rumour was founded on fact. We believe that the
gentleman in question was last seen with his frail com-
panion on board one of the Monks' Ferry railway boats,
but as he was known to be an intimate acquaintance of the
gentleman whose household he has made miserable, no
surprise at this incident was excited, and the guilty pair
have up to the present evaded all search as to their where-
abouts, or any idea as to their ultimate destination. For
the sake of the families of both delinquents we for tho pre-
sent refrain from mentioning names.
MADAME TUSSAUD'S.—The additional model of
the celebrated Madame Rachel is drawing hosts of visitors to
the renowned Gallery i❑ Baker-street, and, from the correctness
of the likeness, will unquestionably prove to those who know her
ladyship well to be SA gidrairable likeness to the (MO +.4' Beaui
ful fOr ETer."

DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE.—Thomas Simpson and

ing outrage :
Mrs. Sarah Parsons, of 9, Crawley-place,
Brompton, said that after she had retired to rest
ast night she was awoke from her first sleep
by the alarm of a great noise. She listened, and
shortly afterwards heard some knocking at the
door. She went downstairs, unable to account for
what had occurred, and finding the policy at the
door was informed by them that a large pane of
plate-glass in her drawing-room window, value 305.,
bad been broken.
Both prisoners were committed to prison for ten
days.

POLITICS AT BLACKBURN.

There is no town in the kingdom, perhaps, where
politics run so high as at Blackburn. There have
already been riots with the loss of several lives, and
it is probable that these disturbances will be renewed.
Curiously enough, two of the rival candidates bear
the same, though by no means a common name—
Feilden. The chairman of the Conservative com-
mittee has issued a circular to the millowners, asking
them to use their " influence " with their employs,
a request for which those who have made it deserve
severe chastisement. On the other hand, Mr. John
Morley and Mr. Congreve, the well-known apostle of
Positivism in England, are appealing to the electors
direct on behalf of the Liberal candidates. The
riots appear to have been caused entirely by the
Conservative No-Popery party, who have been
attacking the Roman Catholics in the town, where
they are very numerous.

lost at Ibarra. Of 10,000 at Otavalo, between 6,000 and

AMERICA.

In this country the news of the Pennsylvanian and Ohio
elections is universally accepted, even by the Standard
and the Globe, as deciding the Presidential contest.
Nobody puts forth a shadow of hope for Mr. Seymour.
Mr. Reverdy Johnson has fallen into serious discredit
by his temperate conduct in England. Many of the
American journals use very strong language, as is
their wont, and even the more moderate papers
condemn the Ambassador. The .Nation says that "when
Mr. Johnson loads Lord Wharncliffe and Mr. Roebuck in
public with expressions of personal esteem, he puts himself
in a position more false than the French Minister would
put himself in if he appeared in public on terms
of intimacy with Mr. Kinglake, or than the
Papal Nuncio if he were to pass his evenings with M.
Ernest Ronan—that is, he offends, not simply against the
political feelings of the American people, but against the
European standard of diplomatic propriety."
An Alabama paper has the inexpressible pleasure to
make the following announcement :—" Five notoriously
bad negroes were found swinging by the neck to trees in
the woods of Colbert County a few days since. They
had been guilty of threatening the whites." It is not
surprising that more troops have been asked for in this
State.
London, England, 1868-10-15

GERMANY.

Some of the Prussian journals announce that a second
naval and military port in the Baltic is about to be
constructed on the Isle of Rtigen. There is much reason
to doubt this statement. The project was formed before
the acquisition of Kiel, but it has been abandoned since.
Prussia already possesses Kiel, Dantzig, and Stettin on
the Baltic, and is constructing a first-class establishment
at Jande, on the North Sea. Money only is required to
make her a great naval power.
