NJ. Gambetta has uttered a speech at
Lyons in which he sketches the programme
Of the Liberal party. He desires to d.
mlnish the influence of the Clericals, par
ticularly in education; to establish liberty
by giving each Commune the right Of
electing its Mayor and Councillors to
abolish the state of siege to make the
Conscription really universal and to
restore the right of meeting and of pub
fishing. He would remove only such Off
Gals as were hostile to the Republic :;
would receive cordially the old Parliament
tarians into the Republican ranks and
would, in all things, act with moderation.
He was singularly emphatic in advocating
a policy of peace. He would give up all
propagandism on behalf of nationalities-
though he condemns severely the betrayal
of Denmark-and would have France stay
at home staunching her own wounds, and
leaving the rest OF the world to satisfy its
desires without hiudrauce. The last utter
ance is most prudent, as the Republicans
are supposed to be warlike, but we suspect
it is to be read with some considerable
reserves. NJ. Gambetta is not exactly a
Manchester man in a French dress.
Don Carlos, it is stated, will hencefor-
ward live on the estates left him by his
uncle, the Duke OF Modena, but reserves
all his " rights" The Madrid papers ask
that the conquered provinces should be
divided among neighbouring districts, and
their names abolished, but history is not
killed in that way. a couple OF thou
sand miles of good road, and some special
distinction for all mountaineers who enter
the Spanish Army, such as forming their
conscrfpts into corps OF BersagIieri, would
be much more effic8cious. If the Carlists
will serve faithfully, their sentiment for
TIE male branch of the Spanish BourbouS
may be treated as leniently as Pitt treated
the relics of Jacobite feeling.
Mr.. Goschen brought before the House
OF Commons, the Admiralty Minute on the
loss of the Vanguard in a very spirited
ADD amusing speech, on the main point
of which we have commented elsewhere
We may add here that he regretted that
MIR. Ward Hunt had not taken occasion
to give his own view of the Minute and
the circumstances which led to it, since
the country really knew nothing of the
First Lords view, except what they had
derived from that gay and festive speech
at the GuildhalI, in which he had spoken
with enthusiasm of the ramming powers
of the Navy" Mr.. Goschen related with
great clearness the history of the disaster,
and remarked that the Vanguard was
undetermined because she went on cruis-
ing, after the object of her cruise, the
training of the Coastguardsmen, who had
been already landed, was accomplished.
Even the Co~astguardsmen had not had
much naval training during the cruise. 1t
had been a cruise distinguished by balls
and festivities. During the whole of the
cruise, the only signals were the waving
OF ladies' Observation-Disclosures, while the
only %evoiutions were the intricacies of
quadrilles." The voyage to Cork, on
which, after landing the Coastguardsmen,

trying illness, London has lost one of the
few connecting-links between the upper
most, the middle, and the lowest layers Of
English society. The daughter Of a peer,
and herself one of the most intimate of the
Queens personal friends she had yet a
very large circle of friends in the middle
classes, while the poorest inhabitants of
the Westminster " slums " found in her
sympathy aud tenderness a frequent allevi-
alton of their miseries. 1t is given to
very few to be, as she was, a most etfec-
tive conducting medium OF kind feeling
between all the strangely motley elements
Of English society. Those who have the
opportunity for such a function rarely
have adequate largeness Of heart, and
those who have the largeness of heart,
hardly ever have the adequate opportuni-
ty. Lady Augusta Stanley had both, and
both in az unusual degree.

the disaster happened, was not one of bI-
%siness, but a voyage apparently undertaken
to crafty the wish of Cork for a sight Of
the ironcIad fleet. 1t was a voyage direct
ed on the principle of j." concurrent endow-
ment," that Cork might enjoy what Belfast
had previously enjoyed. Even Admiral
Tarleton, in command of the feet, said
that before going to Cork the cruise had
" virtually terminated" And Mr. Goschen
asked whether this fact that the Vanguard
was undpr,manned, and bad only 374 in
stead of 500 men,-the number she had
had on the previous day, was not one
cause of disorganisation.
Mr.. Hardy, in the course of discussion
on recruiting, told a capital story about
the utter want of conscience most men
display in giving characters. A man Of
VIGOROUSLY bad character, residing in a
village he knew, wished TO emigra'e. To
obtain assistance from the Emigration
Commissioners one must have character
and the man accordingly asked one from his
neighbours. Everybody was anxious he
should go, and everybody therefore testi-
fed to his excellent reputation. No one
was more astonished at this result than the
mar himself, aud after looking at his certii-
cate, with it its long list of signatures,

NJ. John Lemoinne, the eminent %journa-
list, OF the D5bats, was admitted, on Thurs
day, to the honour OF a seat among the
members of the French Institute. In his
inaugural address, which was a panegyrlc
on his predecessor, also a journalist, NJ.
Jules Janin, he made an %aIlusion to the
political situation =" My predecessor
said, when they asked Of HIM materials for
his biography, 1 am like the happy ma
tions; | have no history l dsm4nd that
that proverb shall not be accepted on the
part Of the nations. | say, on the contra
nv, Unfortunate are the people who
have no history The most celebrated
poet of Germany said, lie who has not
eaten his bread in toars--who has not
passed nights of sorrow sitting on his
bed weeping-thut one does not know you,
0 celestial powers!!' Thus the peoples
who have not suffered, wept, and bled are
not worthy Of liberty have not merited
it, known it, loved it, or served it. Agi-
tation is not always sterile; it is also a
sign of life. The peoples in movement
are like the molten, surging metal from
which the statue energies. Whatever
name it bears, it will be always i%nextin-
guishable,-immortal and eternal France"
M. Lemoinne is not only a man of great
wit, but a man of great courage. The
President, NJ. Cuvillier-Fleury in welcom-
ing him into the Institute, reminded his
new colleague of two of his replies to the
Committee of the Commune's threats. you
said one day, The Committee that calls
itself a Government threatens US. We
know of no penalty more d%ishonourabls
than that of obeying it.. We refuse
John Lemoinne,' The day after the
massacre in the Place Vend6me you said,
The Committee of the Hotel de Willie
menaces us with justice. The Committee
is no longer a tribunal, any more than a gun
or a knife is a reason.-JOhn LemOinne.'"
That was the true courage of a con-
fdent intellect, which cannot shame
itself by asserting to what it is wholly
outside it's nature to concur in. 1t is not
often that the journalist, who, as M.
Lemionne says, has to live from hand to
mouth, feel so keenly the connection be-
tween false logic and bad character.

A curious discovery has followed Mr..
Crooke's discovery of the' dynamic power
OF light. 1t is this,-that selenium, q
metal or metalloid which, under certain
peculiar treatment, acquires a very feeble
power, even when kept in the dark, of
transmitting the electric current, is made,
by exposure to light, a conducting
medium for the electric current, far less
inadequate, far more perfect than before.
So that a very poor conductor Of electrici-
ty becomes a good conductor of electricity
under the influence OF light. In other
words we suppose, a new dynamic effect
of Iight-one exerted especially on the
molecular structure of elenium-ha real
ly been discovered. Possibly, in the
same way, light may be found to stimulate
the conducting-power Of the nerves 1t is
not a matter to haye an opinion upon with
out exact measurements, but we fancy at
least that some of our nerves appear to
carry messages much more rapidly when
exposed to light than they do in the. dark.

Don Carlos landed at Folkestone on
Saturday March A., and was very i'll re-
ceiveG, the Foresters and other bodies
who had assembled on the pier to receive
a deputation expected by the same boat
hooting him somewhat savagely. The
hooting was most unmannerly y, as England
affords asylum to all defeated politicians,
from Kossuth down to Don Carlos, ire
spective of opinions, but it has had one
good result. The demonstration has pre-
vented the "funkeys' among us from

had a right to wage war in Spain or not.

President Grant, rather to the surprise,
we suspect, of General Schenck's friends,
has treated his resignation as final, and
has nominated Mr.. r. H. Dana Minister
to England This is a return to the
ancient practice of selecting American
diplomatists from among the cultivated
men of the United States who, whatever
they may do, will not soil their fingers
with money-making jobs. Mr.. Dana is
the sixth in descent from a Puritan emf
grant, whose descendants have, ever since
the Revolution, held a high position in
the Union, and is the author of book,
once extremely popular, and still circulated
by the Admiralty, called 1.-TWO Years
before the Mast" the best account of q
sailors life perhaps in existence. Mr..
Dana will be we'll received in London, and
Americans may be glad that the President
has for once broken away from the circle
of professional politicians and men who
did him service in the war. The only
better nomination would have been that
of Mr.. Moran, but work abroad for the
Union does not secure influential friends
