Disastrous Storms Around tho British
Islunds-A Terrisle French Shipwreck.
We have the painful intelligence from Lon
don of the shipwreck in the English Channel,
off Cape La Hogue, of French transport,
heavily laden, and with upwards of twelve hun
dred and fifty French troops on board, all of
whom, with the ships crew, are reported lost.
The vessel foundered among the rocks off that
dangerous coast; and in those significant
words ''heavily laden" we have, no doubt,
the key to the disaster. Water-logged in
heavy sea the ship became unmanageable,
and, drifting with the waves upon the rocks,
she went down with all on board. This, we
infer from the brief details given, is the
explanation of this fearful shipwreck, equal
in its destruction of human life to the slaugh-
ter Of heavy battle. 1t is probable that the
French troops on board were being transported
to some military camp in view of the possible
resumption of hostlities with the termination
of the existing armistice, which has not quite
ten days yet to run. At all events it is evil
dent that culpable carelessness and stupidity
in this heavily laden vessel are among the
chief causes of this disaster.
Heavy storms, involving great commercial
losses in numerous shipwrecks along the
western coasts of Great Britain, are also
reported--a half dozen near South Shields
alone. Lying in the track of the warm Gulf
Stream the British islands are indebted to it
for their genial climate and fruitful soil /; but
they are also subject to the violent storms
which mostly prevail at sea in and along the
course Of these equatorial currents. Thus
we think it probable that the strong gale in
which the United States steam frigate Ten
nessee is reported as having been sighted on
the 10Th of January is the very storm which
has brought these marine disasters along the
French and British coasts

The Elections In France.

The dispatches from France published in
this mornings HERALD show that, although
the conservative republican candidates have
made fair exhibit of their strength, the
general tone of the people is in favor Of
return to monarchical form OF govern
ment The rabid utterances of Gam
beta and his faction are to be blamed
for this, as had they shown mode
rate tendency and desire to secure peace
at the price it might be bought different
result might have been expected. Jules
Favre understood it. He knew France was
powerless and unable to take decided stand
in opposition to the wishes of Germany, and,
therefore, he endeavored to make the best
terms he could with those who held, we
may say, the destinies Of France in
their hands. With the Bordeaux republi-
cans the case was different. They affected to
believe that they could carry France through
the desperate situation in which she is at
present on the bombastic utterances which
they expressed and the impractical theories
which they cherished. By this time, perhaps,
they have discovered how sadly they have
erred and how grievously they overrated their
ability to establish republic of their making
in France.

ANOTHER CALAMITY TO THE FRENCH
The cattle plague 1t has broken out among
the immense drsves of cattle gathered at
Brest for the relief Of the half-starving popu-
lation of Paris, and is doing such havoc
among those herds that it is impossible to bury
them as rapidly as circumstances require. A
Gordon has been drawn around the cattle
affected with the disease, and as they die of
they are carted to the water side and tumbled
into condemned war ships, which, when filled,
are towed out to sea aud sunk. 1t is to be
feared, however, that when these carcases, in
the process of decomposition, rise to the sur
face, they will be washed ashore and create
another pestilence. Truly, the cup of misery
TO poor France has been filed to the brim and
she is drinking it to the dregs; but from the
very extremity OF her suferings there is at
least this hope-:hat she viii give up the fight,
and that her victorious enemy will not be
without generosity in his exactions-

Premier Gladstone In Confederation q
Herald Special TcIcgrnms.

The Right Honorable the Premier of Eng
land made statement to the House of Commons
on Friday evening in explanation of the alb
sence of the representative of France from the
London Conference. He presented the case
as it is reported in our columns to-day. 1t
will be seen that in his report of M. Jules
Favres trouble to get out of Paris and final
abandonment Of the attempt Mr.. Gladstone
used the very words-alnost literally-of the
HERALD special cable kilograms in which we
recounted, at the moment, the causes which
impeded the French statesman and thus
produced diplomatic disappointment.
Premier Gladstone has had plenty of hard
work during the recess. We incline to
the opinion, therefore, that when he was
engaged in making up his points of state
ment relative to the Franco -Prussian Confer
ence, and other matters connected with the
war, he availed himself literally of the con-
tents Of the pages of the HERALD Perfectly
welcome. Glad of It, as we wore in the case
of our Abyssinian war news having reached
the Horse Guards and Buckingham Palace
"ahead" Of the Queens dispatches. and just
in the "nick Of time" for the enlightenment of
her Majesty relative to the grand triumph Of
her troops in Africa.

THE STEAM FRIGATE TENNESSEE. We enter
tain no fears whatever regarding the safety of
the Tennessee. She has doubtless reached
her destination, and in all probability the
Commissioners are enjoying summer tenn
perature under the shade of the magnificent
foliage Of that part of the world, little think
ing of how much uneasiness is felt at home by
reason of their not being heard from. We
publish in another part of the paper state
ment from parties who are thoroughly informed
regarding the means Of communication with
st. Domingo, and it shows how impossible it
is that we should have heard from the Ten
nessee before this, even if her passage had
been a quick one. We repeat, that we have
no fears whatever, and those who have friends
and relatives on board may rest easy and feel
assured that they will be heard from in few
days-all well.

Protestant anarchy, and here we have
Protestant anarchy In perfection. Our isms
are countless as the sands by the sea shore or
as the stars of heaven. Every ism has its
own little following, its own little chapel, its
own little idol or its own little priest Amid
all our divisions we are professedly Chris
tian people but how the Master who prayed
that His people might be one even as He and
Ills Father were one can look approvingly on
American Christianity is more than we can
comprehend. Our divisions beget rivalry !;
rivalry begets jealousy; jealousy leads to
strife, and to-day we have in all con-
science rivalry and jealousy and strife
enough. We have been striving for
some time past to exhibit American
Christianity to itself, to exhibit every party
to itself and every other party to every other.
In other words, we have been holding the
mirror up to the churches in the hope that the
churches, seeing themselves as they ought to
see themselves, would feel ashamed and begin
to mend their ways. We are glad to know
that we have already been somewhat success
full. Like Elijah, like John the Baptist, we
have raised our voice in the wilderness and
it is our pride this day to know that promi-
nent ecclesiastical leaders in all sections of
the Church look to US gratefully and give US
good assurance that they will fight in the new
and holy cause. As we are already one
people, speaking common tongue, let us
hope that we soon shall be one people,
worshipping at common shrine. One Lord,
one faith, one baptism, with no isms. Let
that be our motto.

A USELESS PEACE PRoPosITIoN-That
which it is rumored in Brussels England has
made to Prussia to submit the question of
peace with France to arbitration, so that it
may have the ratification of all the great
Powers. Prussia will make her terms of
peace with France, and if the terms she will
have to propose to this newly elected French
National Assembly are rejected she is pre-
pared to renew the war. We think, however,
that this new Assembly will come to a treaty
of peace on the basis of the terms of united
Germany, and perhaps within the presen.
week. The armistice expires on the 10Th al

The British Parliament-Tho Dowry OF
the Princess Louise.

On Friday night last, in the House of Lords,
message was received from the Queen ask
ing for a dowry for the Princess Louise
suitable to the dignity Of the crown. The
message was read and made the order of the
day for Monday (to-morrow). What will be
dowry for this amiable Princess ''suitable
to the dignity of the Crown?" Twenty or
thirty thousand pounds sterling a year, we
suppose. The British people are becoming
somewhat dissatisfied with all the costly
royal appendages of their Church and
State establishments; but, considering
the popularity of the match which
has been made between the Princess
Louise and the Marquis Of Lorne, the son of
Argyll, we presume that ''her Majesty's royal
subjects" will not complain should the dewry
Of this Princess be made even forty Thousand
year, inasmuch as instead of going, as usual
with these royal dowries, to the support of
some impecunious German prince, it will 60 to
strengthen home establishment of the nobil-
ity and one of the most popular aristocratic
houses in ''the three kingdoms" There will
be change, it is widely believed, in all these
things by and by; but meantime the Princess
Louise may be set down as sure Of "a dowry
suitable to the dignity Of the Crown"
The CANADIANS take hopeful view Of the
future, and congratulate themselves upon the
prospect of an early settlement of all diff
ferences between themselves aud the United
States. If this be done the Kanucks will soon
sink into hopeless stupidity. The only
causes of excitement which have kept them
alive for several years have been Fenian
invasions and the fishery question. These
matters quieted, our Canadian neighbors
will be at loss for frst class sensations
10 stir their sluggish blood aud keep them
wide awake.

We ask then, the conflicting synagogues to
reflect that the differences of opinion which
have split Protestant Christendom into such a
variety Of creeds are in many respects more
serious than those which divide them, and yet,
thanks to the NEW YORK HERALD's influence,
the bond Of sympathy which unites all
humanity in the same fellowship becomes
stronger from week to week and scars over all
dissensions of dogma. Let US impress on them,
as on other conflicting sects, that, whatever
may be their discord on social or culinary
tenets, they all bow down with the same zeal
before the one Heavenly Father and cling
with the same devotion to the Old Testament
as Christians do to the Old and New.
The members of synagogues are like those of
churches and even mosques and Brahmin
pagodas are naturally subject to those out
breaks of freedom of conscience and intel
Exemption from them might only exhibit
effetaness and vegetation, while their exist
ence is q symptom Of vitality and buoyancy.
Even the Roman Catholic Church, which
heretofore seemed alone among all others to
stand steady and immovable, is showing some
symptoms of uneasy agitation, and while many
good Catholics regard the temporal power of
the Holy Father as indispensable for the sta
blIty of st. Peters throne there are not few,
no less pious, who look on the separation of
the religious from the political power as q
