THE AMERICAN PRESS ON THE…
THE AMERICAN PRESS ON THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. Some of the New York papers, of the 21st of February, & >ntain articles on the Alabama question. "The only jlmuis of the EngUsh discussion has been that our Commis- tB'eners in some way entrapped the English Commissioners '■.to sign a Treaty which had a meaning foreign to its letter • ft;i i spirit and its conception by the Gladstone Ministry. I it be true that we tvok an advantage of the English ulsters, that we signed a Treaty which had one ,-me:1nillg on its faee and :tnother under -the surface, that, we made a Case and sent it to Geneva, which advanced pretensions not warranted by the Treaty nor by any of the discussions in the Session of the Joint l High Commission, then we have behaved dishonourably to England, and must either withdraw our case or make due explanations. We cannot afford to hold this position. Tho whole value of our Case, as we have regarded it, is that the record will shew that in no respect have we taken an advantage of England. So far from abandoning our claims for l'cimbursement for tho unavoidable losses caused by the Alabama and the othcr cruisers, we pre, sented them in the deliberation preceding the signature of the Treaty. They were contemplated in tho Protocols, ,and not to Tiave advanced thcm woulol have been un. worthy and improper. The whoie argument of the English Press that it is void, because of the absence of these] claims ft* consequential t1a.mages. X ow, these conditions werp expressly understood by the English Government The American Commissioners distinctly informed th.e English Commissioners that there could -be no fair .adjudication of the matter at issue which did not coutejuplatc the sacrifices of our commerce, the expeIl3CS we jnQUTTer1. to catch tho English craisers, and the prolongation <j4"the war. "U1Ct]¡er those claims were valid or not. whether-or not the English could shew that in somo way the inefficiency of Secretary Welles and the apathy õf our naval lluthoritï-cs in pursuit condoned the offence -and so relieved^England from all responsibility; whether or not there weje principles or international law which made it improper for the tribunl11,m award constructive or consequently damages whether, in 1,ricf, we wculd got one million or one hundred millions or nothing, were questions ^hfah-wonld have to be dtxafled by tlie Court at Geneva." In another place the Herald says: "What England wants, what is necessary to her supremacy 011 the ocean, is precisely ,these new principles of international law. So Hang as the. Alabama claims remain un- settled, anJ. the precedents established by England during the rebellion aro unchallenged, Enghnd is helli in bonds to the peace with all tire world. We have two oceans which oar seaports control, and in tho event of a war between Iyigland and any Power these oceans could befilled with^privateers or men of war, and with no more responsibility involving upon us than England has accepted in tha case .of. Elle Alabama. England, therefore, is impa- tient to have--ti>e precedents abolished. She will pay a good deal of mcaey for their abolition. This is the mean- ing of the suggestion that we accept a gross sum of money in lieu of .our eljjims." The Chro»iH>tt a Canadian paper, reiterates the sjtory of a secret tre«^y between England and Canada which it Ijiaintains Van jajgnecT after the conclusion of the Washing- ton negotiations by Lord De Grey for the British Govern- ment. and Sir John A. Macdonald. as Premier of Canada, on the part of the Governor-General. The Chronicle says that only Lord Lisgar, Sir John A. Macdonald, and Sir George 6. Cai-tier, are cognizant of the treaty," and mentions some circumstances which indicate the fact of its existence.

THE FAMINE IN PERSIA.
THE FAMINE IN PERSIA. The Times of India has received the following particulars of the famine in Teheran and Cental Persia:—" Informa- tion has b6':n received of some rainfall in Kerman, but two Government couriers, bearing the intelli- gence, -were murdered during the journey by a band of robbers, who took away property to the amount of ;rViO '?ooi>fajts (about 2i1,0rn) rnpees). Rain has also fallen ill Fars, and in the territory round Yezd, but not in Yezd itself. Corn is abundant, but being very dear, is not obtainable by the poor. The British agent at Ispahan, in- formed the," authorities some daVa ago that people have flocked to ihfe city owing to (fefirPbefes of provisions, and the number uf Armenian beg^arsthcre now amounts to about 2,000. Rain has fall«n 111 Kffttawbn, and Aserbywwi, but no.ei.um^3 in the price of Com tias taken place, and owing to Vule bad state of the roads, cofrnnoree is at a standstill. At Teheran rain Ml on the Inth of No- vember and again on the 2nd of December. The price 81 grain h:i1\g very high, the Shah directed that* the whole stock of wheat in the city be jThrchased and resold at the rate of 1 keroiiee per maund (It kewnee is about 8 annas in English .money). To make up for the loss the Shah has- rifet apart a sum of about Ii) lacs of rupees. About If),'?*) twggars, at present, daily wander through the streets of Tehrrnn. about 20 to 30 of whom daily die in the streets through sheer exhaustion and starvation. A staff of Government officials collect their dead bodies for burial. The town is in a most filthy condition, and epidemic is daily expected. The committee for relief, appointed by the Shlth, held their first sitting on the 27th of November, where it was repaired to supply corn, clothes and lodging to the starving poor. In order to put this resolution in force, the- poor were next day assembled in the parade Jfaidan and the sum of 28 annas was given to each. The number \3 so large tha.t about 2,000 men received nothing. They were then taken to the soldiers' barrack for shelter, which accommodated 1,581 destitutes. A hospital has been opened for the sick in another barrack, where food and clothes are plectifTUly supplied. In order to assist the committee, the Shah has promised a sum of 12,000 rupees every month,-anil another sum of 8,000 rupees for the mainte- nance of swell as were once respectable and of high position in society. Mr. lla^ekjee Lunjee Antaria, the representative of the Parsees of Western India, confirms this account. He savs :—" The terrible accounts of the famine have at last roused the Shah from his lethargy, who now sees the necessity for taking prompt measures for mitigating the rarag s of tht) famine which has reached his very doors." He has formed a committee of his ministers, nobles, and the foreign ambassadors, and has even aakpd Mr-% Manekjee, the Parsee representative, to be one of the committee. Prompt measures have been taken, and large sums dis- tributed among the starving who had cror .led at Teheran; means tire also adopted for the re1.af the district.

A Ministerial Circular has been published in Madrid, which orders the reservation of a portion of all cemeteries for the interment of non-Catholics. The Secretary of State for War has sanctioned the issue of lOd. per head allowance to all the troops brought +0 London from Aldershot on Tuesday, on the occasion of the visit of her Majesty the Queen to St. Paul's. The TfoihUn Gazette contains a notice by the Lord Lieutenant, warning the Lein.-iter Independent on account of an article which appeared in that journal on the lfith of February, on the assassination of Lord Mayo, and which the notice characterises as inciting to murder. Tlie warning is given under the Peace Preserva- tion Act. The Lobdell Car-wheel Company, of Wilmington, Delaware, has shipped for New York, seventy-six car- wheels to George Starbuck and Co., a large manufacturer of cars in Birkenhead. They are to be placed on oars to run on London tramways. This is the second shipment of this company to England. A fearful accident has occurred at the American Circus at Pntssela. The famous frupiste Eugeuio, equal in agility, it ia said, to the late Leotard, missing the cord by which he ordinarily descended, was hurled from a height of forty-two fMt. Unfortunately he did not fall into the net hut Wifaide, and no hopes are entertained of his recovery. BISMJOMK AXn THE Polish GERMANS.—The German Ulhabitsnts of Posen have forwarded 3.n address to Prince 3jgmarck expressive of their approbation of his policy towards the Polish Catholics. The Chancellor of the Empire ha^s_returned an answer, in which he declares his intention ot protecting the German element in Foaen. At the sajue time, he maintains that tho Government is hostile neither tQ the Polish inhabitants nor to the Catholic Church. It irvilt'Crjntimie^ to respect and support their richts of civil iaw and religious freedom, while it is firmly resolved to enforce respect for the law, which affords the best protection for l'olish as well as German inhabitants.

THE COUNCIL OF MEDICAL EDUCATION.
THE COUNCIL OF MEDICAL EDUCATION. Tie General Council of Medical Education and Registra- tion held its third meeting this session on Saturday, at 32, Soho-square, under the presidency of Dr. Paget. The members present were l\[r.Quain, )Ir. Bradford, Drs. Bennett, Ackland, Humphrey. Embleton Storrar, Alexander Wood, Andrew Wood, Fleming, Macrobin Thomson, Smith, Har- grove Leet, Apjohn. Sir D. Corrigan, Bart., Sharper, Sir William Gull, Br-rt., Parkes, and Stor'ces. The subject under discussion was wh ether there shouldbe a conjoint board established in Scotland, with the same powers vested in it as were proposed to be given to a similar board by the English Universities and the two Royal Colleges of England—namely, the power of conferring degrees and conducting examinations.—Sir IV. Gull, Hart., moved the following resolution'" That this Council expresses its regret that no scheme has been formed and submitted to the Council by medical authorities in Scotland for establishing a conjoint examining board."— This resolution was seconded by Dr. Smith, and carried unanimously.—Dr. Humphrey proposed the following amendment:—"This Council, while regretting that no scheme for a conjoint examining Board has been formed in Scotland: yet, having considered tho re- fulations of the several medical authorities in cotland, sees reason to hope that in the course of a few months ft 8cheme for n. conjoint examining board in Scot- land may be matured, nnd to which this Council will be able to give itH sanction, and urges the authorities to persevere in their efforts to effect the same." This amend- ment was strenuously supported by Dr. Thomson, but after a protracted discussion was negatived by a small majority.
THE BISHOP AND THE SCEPTIC.
THE BISHOP AND THE SCEPTIC. Bishop Claughton, the Eastern Post says, has within the bst few days given an nddrCtJs on Christianity as a solution of thp difficulties presented by the moml govem- mont of the world, at the Hall of Scienee," Islington, the place in which Mr. Bradlaugh so often delivers his dis- course8. Mr. Baxter, of tho firm of Baxter, Hose, and Norton, occnpicd the chair. mshop Clftughton said that when he was invited to come there he knew that ho would njoet those who did not believe in Christianity, but that was to him an additional reason to come amongst them. (Hear, hear.) Ho did Hot think at all the worse of a mau because he did not believe in Chris- tianity, for Be ha.d stood before hnndreds of men who did not bolleve in it, and he had askod himself why ho should blame them for not having his ptivileges. He knew men who were very good men, and yet knew nothing of oar Religion. But he believed he had some- thing to te\l them which if true, B6 he thought it was, would be of greM benefit to them to know. He admitted there were many things it was difficult to oxplain-quite imposaibje to explain at first sight—but there was nothing that oouId not be explained, and it wöuld be found that Christianity would explain all difficulties when rightly understood. When he first said that there was a good God who made the world, it seemed to add to the difficulties, for how could God be good if there were so many calamities and so much evil ? It would be said God punished the wicked, but in the papers to- day the only person stated to be killed was a little infant. Was that a punishment ? Well, he would like to take them amongst peoples in distant lands who knew nothing of God, and shew them what they thought when he told them about these things. It was a mis- take to think those heathens were so unintelligent as was BujjposeSl; thoy were kindly, and polite, and tractable, when treated well, but Englishmen did not always treat them well. When ho told these people of the love of God that was the novelty to them. They had" gods powerful but also cruel, and apt to destroy. The idea of a God loving the men whom he had made was quite new. It was wrong to go and tell people that God hated sinners, and that all men were sinners. No* doubt mèn were sinful, but there was also a great deal of goodness in men. Christ went amongst the people and shewed he loved them. When these heathens heard of God loving all men, they manifested the strongest interest in the matter, and the idea sprang up, If such be God then I am sinful." Christianity gave a solution of difficulties prescnted by the moral government of the world which otherwise were not explicable. Men were not put into the world to fight their way through the world, and then to die. They shOlùcl trust in the God that put them there. Christianity meant hope to men, for it shewed that God would not pass over tho most wretchod. Chris- tianity" meant redemption, bringing men out of dark- ness into light, and hope and peace., If a man were utterly degraded and miserable, Christianity said to him, Turn to God, pray, and he will hear and save you. A Mahomedan would say such a man was fated to be lost, a Bhuddist that he was too vile, and would die, and die, awl die again; all WPH dark and gloomy for him. Did they know what they owed to Christianity ? Hospitals—("no," and "yes")—slavery abolished; cap- tives in war cared for and the wounded tended. His reading had been chiefly among the ancients, and his experience among heathens, and his conviction was that in Christianity they had got the grand and sole means of not only raising their own nation, but of raising the lot of all the other nations on the face of the earth. Mr. Bradlaugh then spoke, and said the Bishop had addressed them with great earnestness an (1 sincerity. But it would be impossible for anyone to understand what Christianity was from that speech. The Bishop said that since Christ came the world had gradually improved. Take the world fifty years before Christ and its condi- tion 1,200 years after, and it would be found that there was a fall back into barbarism wholly contradictory of such an assertion. The Bishop said Christianity abolished slavery, but in the Bible it was said that a man might beat his slave. But if anum believed he would be saved. Yes. if he believed in Christ, who WAS in Judaea and in Egypt at the same time, who worked miracles that the Jews did not believe in, and whoso history, as shewn in the Bible, was a mass of contradictions. The Bible did not teach that men, if good, would go to Heaven. Jacob wns the favoured of Heaven though he was a liar and dishonest. Men were not saved for goodness, but for faith. He never heard a man speak whose voice rang with greater found of conviction and honesty than that of Bishop Claughton, but he owed it to truth to state boldly the facts on which he rested in reject- ing Christianity. The goodness of God was spoken of, and his desire to make men happy, and only punish the wicked; but the Bishop himself had alluded to the fact that the day previous a little child, innocent of any crime, had been killed, while the presumably wicked had got off unhurt. Bishop ClanghTon said he was glad to have hoard the speech øo well given, for he desired to deel with what a powerful reasotfer eould advance against the Old Testa- ment* it tt-BM allowed. He thought ho had rtoolt with fotae of «te pofarte raised. Talee the Rtfle drlM that went to Hfeaven ye9f«rdny, why should tfciat be said to bo & reeeon ognirnrt <4od ? If the Drinco, for wfwse recovery thoy were T«|oloing, did not Iea4 .ft VeW>or life— (hwwv bettY. and laughter)—should he or that child be oAppiar hcreefter ? It was said thftt .111Mb was alirarwida chen*, but the Bible never said that he WM right to be a choat. He expiated those iinmtiral acts by fourteen years labour, and by being himself deceived in what was dearest to him. If Christianity were true it woitld do much for men; if what Mr. Bradlaugh advanced were true, men would bo not a bit bettor off than they wore. Mrs. Law said that if Christianity and prayer could raise England and tho world, why had not the praying of 2,000 years already succeeded in doing so ? They had better leave off praying and begin to work. The Bishop said God's eye was upon the wretched; if that was so, what could be thought of his goodness when he kept his eye on their misery without relieving it ? Bishop Claughton said that when God1* eye was on misery and wretchedness, it was On them in mercy. The world" to come was* the solution of half the difficulties of this. It was said that the evil-Was long enduring, that Christianity had not as yet destroyed it. But in the hand of the Lord a thousand years was but as a day, and a day as a thousand years," and the good he pre- pared would last for over. Mr. Bradlaugh said that if Bishop Claughton'-really meant that he would be glad to discuss tho Old Testamont difficulties mentioned, ho would be quite ready to discuss them, either orally or in writing. He moved, and Mrs. Law seconded, a vote of thanks to the Bishop for tho fairness and courtesy manifested in his address. The vote was car- ried with applause.

The John Bull says of the National Thanksgiving that it was a glad and thankful act of prmse-a glorious confession of national religion-a hopeful acknowledgment of the National Church—a grand Cathedral service at which "Nonconformists" claimed and received their place—a blessed day of rest from sectarian and political strife—an augury, we trust, for good in every way—for Cod, the Sovereign, and the People. THE LATE EAKL OF SHREWSBURY'S ESTATES.— In Vice-Chancellor Malins's Court on Saturday an appli- cation was made on the part of Captain Carpenter to file a bill on behalf of the creditors of the late Earl, when it was stated by Mr. Bristowe, Q.C., that the available assets were £;),000 and the liabilities £ 110,CH?0, and there was sufficient to pay a dividend of from 8s. to Ps. in the pound. Mr. Glasse, Q.C., on behalf of the present Earl, disputed the accuracy of the figures, and the sitOlfiiCtfUpVas further adjourned. The American Case has been published as a Bine Book.

SPIRIT OF THE PBEHS. _
SPIRIT OF THE PBEHS. MR. DTXOX's MOTION. The Thnes hopes the Parliamentary result of tho attack on the Education Act will lead its promoters to review their position. They lmve shewn ngl'(\3.t power of develop- ing opinion in the course of their short campaign, and 1\11'. Dixon formally announced to the House on Tuesday that the Leaguo had abandoned the notion of establishing a system of unsectarian education with which they started, which, as we also know, they retained up to two or three months since, when Lord Russell's adhesion to their body was proclaimed. They have now advanced to this posi- tion. that in tho interest of freedom of conscience men shall be compelled to send their children to schools where the teaching of religion in any degree must he rigorously disallowed, the teachers in which are, indeed, to be placed under a ban and forbidden to teach the most elementary religious knowledge even out of school hours. Neither Mr Herbert nor any of his friends seem to understand that in the matter of education the exclusion of religious ideas is 3.S grcltt 1\ grievance to religious minds as the inculcation of false religious ideas can bo. Directly you pas, from the menns of knowledge to its acquisition yon must choose hetween admitting or excluding the recognition of theology, and its exclusion gives as positive a colour to the character of future teaching fiS its It,lmission. Mundella's ex- perience of the school f01lllflcd at Nottingham upon condition that. all reference to religious knowletlge should be excluded from its teaching, and the proved im- possibility of flllfilJing this trust, may b? remembered, and the policy of the Xonconfonnists twenty-five years since shewed that they wcrc couvincnl of the truth which Dr. Playfair shewed on Tuesday night was practically acknow- ledged by every country possessing a national system of education. Starting from the principle that religious teaching is an ineradicable element of human instruction, the aim of educational reformers must be to devise such a scheme of education as may satisfy the needs of the greatest number, without thrusting upon Any of them teaching they reject; and it is because the Education Act of 1S70 secures secular education for all, and religious teaching for such only as desire it, that it deserves to bo upheld. The Standard declares thnb the Nonconformist agitation of the last twelve months or more reached its culmination in the motion by which Air. Dixon challenged tho judg- ment of the House of Commons upon his charges against the Education Act of 1870. In truth, the whole signifi- cance of Mr. Dixon's charges, as was made plain enough in his speech, is that parents are allowed, when they choose, to enjoy a religious education for their children. Mr. Forster might well object to having this ques- tion raised again now, It was settletl by nn over- whelming majority in 1S70. It was clear, before the Minister of Education had uttered a word, that not only was the House as a whole earnestly with him on the question in hand, but that it entertained for him a hearty personal esteem, independent of party or policy, such as only a few men—and very few of those who take a leading part in public life—are fortunate enough to acquire. Such a position gives immense advantage to a speaker, and tenfold effect to his oratory; gives deeper meaning to his arguments, higher value to his praise, sliai-per sting to his sarcasm; and Mr. Forster knew how to avail himself of the opportunity. He took occasion to remind the House of what the Leaguo always studiously ignore—that the purpose of the Act of 1870 was not to create a new State machinery of education, but to utilise, e;dt>IH1, and supplement by State or municipal organisation the old voluntary machinery, and frankly declared that to throwaway that machinery woulrl have bcoD, and W6U!d still be, most unwise ami most suicidal. Defending that Aot he protested against an attempt to undo it before it had fairly come into working onler, ".ithout giving the slightest bint th:1.t he distrusted its working or should be willing to alter it hereafter in the direction of secularism. Alto- gether, we could have wished to see him a little firmer and more peremptory. But we must remember the position of the Government and the attitude of the Nonconformist faction, and if Mr. Forster stands firm upon the essential issue, and secures to every child whose parent does not re- fuse it, a fair and full opportunity of religious education, we will not quarrel with him for trying to conciliate or to buy oil" those whose hostility might not only be fatal to the existence of the Ministry, but dangerous to the working of the Act. The Post thinks that Mr. Forster probed the true source of the animosity to the Education Act when he reckoned amongst the difficulties of framing a measure for National Education the obstruction created by those who dislike special Churches more than they like education." No moderate man can say that the Act of 1870 dirlnot fairly consult the rellRonltble wishes of all classes of the community. The obvious answer to Mr. Dixon's motion is that it means nothing less than that Parliament should undertake the duty of passing a new Education Act in the present session. It would be simply absurd for the House ef Commons to condemn the Act of 1870 without at once addressing itself to the task of putting something else in its place. Mr. Forster justly characterised such a demand as unreasonable and incon- venient. There has not been time to test the operation of tbe Act, or even fully to carry out its provisions. By making the compulsory clause permissive the Government have elicited a feeling on the part of the people strongly in favour of compelling parents to educate their children, but of which there was no evidence when the Act was passed. It is now possible that before long compulsory attpnl1:mce may be malIc general, and 2\11'. Forster held out to Mr. Dixon a hope that the wishes of the League on this point might possibly be accomplished next Session. But on the 25th clause of the Act the Vice-President ex- pressed the determination of the Government that in whitt- ever manner the clause might be modified the consciences of indigent parents must be respected. The Daily JVeics, referring to the deiicienciesin the E lucation Act, which will have to bo remedied next year, asks how about the religious difficulty ? If we are to have universal compulsion, we must either have a choice of sch001s in' every sehool district, or make nU the School Board schools such as all classes of religionists can go to. Mr. Forster says he will do neither. He is so anxious that no pauper parent should be obliged to send his child to a school in which his religion is not taught, that he will compel all Nonconformist parents, in all the villages of the land, to send their children to a school where not only is their religion not taught, but somebody else's religion is taught, and they must be withdrawn from the teaching. This is exactly the position laid down by Mr. Forster on Tuesday night. Where there is a choice of schools tho pauper's conscience is to be respected and he is to have a. choice where there are no schools to choose amongst, we cannot give tho power of choice. So, after all, conscience is a geographical expression. Even the poople who cannot and will not pay for their children's schooling are to have a conscience where there are schools enough to allow them to have one where there arc not such schools nobody is to luwe 1\ conscience Itt nIL Does Mr. Forster really think that the educational difficulty can be solved thus* Must it not he that he is giving secret help to his own party by reducing tho argument for denominationalism to an absur- dity, and inevitably suggesting the simplicity, the natural- ness, the logical necessity of the alternative they insist on —that of making all Government schools secular schools, and leaving religion to the Churches. The great thing to be accomplished, says the Telegraph, is national education, and the end proposed cannot be reached Itt a jump. A despot might decree that education should be secular and compulsory, that no account should be taken of voluntary institutions, and that aU shoulù be taxed to support his project; but in & free country no such decree can be issued until there is an approximation to general approval. Even now the business is sufficiently difficult., and we may expect a new crop of outcries when the Department issues the compulsory notices directing that provision be made for education in the rural districts. As to enforced attendance, so much desired Rnd so 11.eed- ftù, that aho is to be obtained, not by the abrupt, hut the gradual, application of the principle; especially in the country parishes, where progress will be less easy than in the towns. Nothing can be plainer to candid observers than the fact that the country is not pre- pared for the adoption of the Birmingham plan. Until it is prepared and willing, justice and prudence alike sustain a plan which secures a fair secular education in all State- aided or rate-supported schools, and at the same timo gives ample freedom to the most delicate susceptibilities of the religious persuasions. The debate of Tuesday night clears away a good deal of mist that hung over the subject, and defines 11Iore elearly the points at issue between the majority of the country and those who, brimming over with discontent, mean to fight for their own hand, even if they break up the Liberal party.

The death is announced at Slough, Bucks, of Lieutenant-Colonel Michael Thompson. The late gallant officer served with tho 1st Royal Regiment, throughout the Maliratta War, with the army in tho Deccan in the years 1817, 1813, and 1810. He was also engaged in the Burmese War, from .January 1825, until its conclusion in 1826 ("medal with clasps). He was present during the rebellion in Canada, 1837-39, and served with the 70th Regiment throughout the Indian Mutiny, and in t-he N<\w 'ealand War of 1803-65. FRESH PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.—The following Parliamentary Papers have been issued:—The twenty- seventh annual report of the Inclosure Commission— which estimates the common', and commonable" land at 8,000,1)00 acres, or more than one-fifth of the entire acreage of England and Wales. In most of the in- cisures proposed in the report, a certain acreage is set apart (1) for exercise and recreation; (2) for gardens for the labouring poor. The thirtieth annual report of the Copyhold Commission; the report of the Tithe Commis- sion for the year 1871; the Abstract Accounts of the Woods, Forests, and Land Revenues for 1871; Copy of Letter of Instruction to her Majesty's Inspectors, with respect to the assistance to be given by the Education Department to the School Boards, etc., in which it is stated that the consent of the Department is required before a Board can borrow money on the security of the rates, tho recommendation of the Department is required before money can bo borrowed from the Public Works Loan Commissioners"; return of the Acts of Par- liament relating to Provisional Orders, fcc., in the Educa- tional Department; return of the number of Pupil Teachers in Elementary Schools on December 31st, 186S, 181)9,3870, and 1871, from which it appears that on the last date there were 21,854; and return—in the form of a Blue Book—of the East India Forest Conservancy. The undermentioned Bills have also been printed:—Tho Public Parks (Ireland) Bill, and the Ecclesiastical Courts and Registries Bill, as amended in committee of the House of Lords. The Earl and Countess Vane have to regret the loss of their eldest child, Lady Frances Vane Tempest, who died on Saturday, at Holderness Honse, Park-lane, aged 121 years. The arrival of the machinery of the industrial elasses of the International Exhibition for 1872, has com- rueneed at South Kensington. Raehel Busby, who was sentenced to death at the last Summer Assizes at Oxford for the murder of her ehild, and who pleaded being tnreinte as a stay to execution, has just given birth to a stillborn child at the Oxford County Gaol. A jury of matrons was empanelled at tho trial, who found there was no ground for a stay of execution, and, but ftlr the timely exertions of Some philanthropic genti> men at Oxford, the unfortunate woman would have been executed^
AFFAIRS IN FRANCE.
V AFFAIRS IN FRANCE. PAUIS. Monday. M. Tonyer-Quertior is «till the hero of the hour, and the excitement produced by hio extraordinary evidence at Rouen continues undiminished Rumours of all kinds are current as to the effect on the Ministry. Some say that the Garde cUs Sceaux tendered his resignation to M. Thiers, declaring that he could not sit in the same Cabinet as M. Pouyer Quortier. Others assert that the Finance Minister himself judged it advisable to resign; but M. Thiers would not accept his resignation. Other? again maintain that Thiers would not personally object to his withdrawal, but he knows such a course would be displeasing to Bismarck, with whom Pouyer- Quertior is in high favour. It may be remembered that when the French Finance Minister visited Germany in connection with the peace negotiations, he mado a favourable impression on the Germans, by his vigorous yhysiqve, dccidod manner, and general bonhovimie. Bis- marck may well be reluctant to lose sight of a Minister who has contrived, whatever his failings, to pay up the in- demnity instalments; but he would scarcely interfere in a purely internal matter. Thiers would like to keep his Cabinet together if he could until his financial arrange- ments with Prussia are more advanced. This morning everyone turned eagerly to the Journal Ojpael, fully expecting to And the authentic announce- ment of M. Pouycr-Quertier's resignation, but there was nothing of the kind, And a belief is gaining ground that tho affair will blow over, though it must in any case seriously damage the Ministry. The Temp* is very outspoken, and says plainly that how- ever regrettable a Ministerial crisis might be at the present time, it would be much more disastrous for the country for M. Pouyer Quertier to keep his portfolio, after his astonishing deposition. M. Ie President may/regret to part from a Minister, who has lent him useful* Resistance during painful negotiations, but the scandal occasioned by the Finance Minister should efface the memory of greater services. There is, in fact, a double IIcnndal-first from the doctrines professed by the: Finance Minister, and secondly from the contemptuous manner in which M. Pouyor- Quertier spoke of his colleagues past and present. Casimir Porier would' not believe that the words were accurately reported, and telegraphed to Rcfuen to ascertain. He might well be incredulous as to the declaration that the documents communicated to the public prosecutor by the Ministers of Justice and of tho Interior were illegal." The press are well nigh unanimous in denouncing the rash speaker. The Dcbats regrets that he was not called to order, and reminded that whatever his official position, in a court of justice he was nothing more than a simple citizen, bound to respect the law. L'Opinion Nationale says it is at least strange that the very man who ought to be ,the most strict in regard to public accounts should enunciate such dangerous theories. If they were generally adopted, French finances would soon become more embarrassed than those of Turkey. Every public receiver and civic authority might dip'his hands in the public treasury. The Minister of Finance at least could not censure them for so doing. The same journal very pertinently asks how M. Pouyor-Quertier, the great manu- facturer and merchant, as distinguished from M. Pouyer Quertior the Minister, would like to see his cashier adopt the samo system, and conceal his real items of expenditure by crritvres firtrres of any sort what- ever ? It is no secret that the Cabinet Council was a very stormy one, and words rose high among its members, M. Thiers did not spare the rash and headstrong colleague, whose ungoverned tongue has produced such an uunecessary turmoil; but M. Pouyor-Quertier, who always treats the President of the Republic with respect, preserved outward coolness. With the other members of the Cabinet, however, he was less reticent, and the war waxed hot, the malcontents feeling that they had the country to back them. One person has gained by the imbroglio, and that is M. Janvier de la Motte, the news of whose acquittal arrives this evening. M. Littre has written a letter to the Temps on Provisional Government. He says that in 1848 a Provisional Govern- ment was established, and on the 4th of September another of tho same kind was instituted. He asks if the present Government bears any resemblance to the fonner ones, and. answers in the negative. It emanates from the Assombly elected in 1871 and has full powers, with nothing provisional in its 'character. He cannot see what thero is in the present state of things to merit the name of Provisional. The Assembly has the right to decide the laws of the country. The Republic has existed in point of fact since the 4th of September, but in point of right since the month of February, 1871, when it was recognised by tthe National Assembly. Ac- cording to this arrangement, ).1. Thiers and his Ministers cannot and will not be regarded as depositories of a provi- sional regime. They are Pnesident and Ministers of a Republic which they desine to see honoured and beneficial. All they do is for the advantage of tho Republic. The Assembly may establish whenever it deems desirable to do so a Legitimate monarchy with the Count de Chambord, a parliamentary one with the Count de Paris, or a Cresarian one with Prince Louis Bounaparte. In the event of these occurrences taking place no one doubts that M. Thiers and his Ministers would at once resign their delegated power. M. Littr6 thinks that those who seek to establish a fifth Monarchy in France have a graat deal of faith, but their devotion is rather of a blind character. The four monar- chies of Napoleon the First, of the Bourbons, of Louis Philippc, and of Napoleon III) have all fallen one after the other. The middle class is more disturbed, more unstable, more stormy than it ever was under any one of these restorations, and yet they could venture on a fifth. Of those who would endeavour to accomplish the work, some believe in miracles, some in fictions, and others again in lucky hits and adventurous chances. The day when the Assembly proclaims one of these monarchies it will divide itself into two parts, as everyone knows. Should monarchy gain the day it will only be by a majority of from 20 to 30 votes. So feeble a victory will not do away with the ne- cessity for an appeal to the people. Who can foretell the result of an appeal to the people, or of a plebiscite. M. Littre declares in conclusion that he addresses himself to the Conservatives. He admits that it is difficult to establish the Republic, but points out that it would be still more arduous tore-establish the Monarchy. Before giving up the Republic let them realise the difficulties and dangers of a Monarchical restoration. Amid all his argu- ments he must not omit mention of the three milliards owing, the six departments occupied, and the Germans who are watching them. As for the Republicans it is their duty to redouble their firmness, their resolution, and their moderation. They are rendering important services to the future as much as to the present of France by preserving her from a fifth royal failure, and a fifth convulsion of which no one in the threatening state of European affairs can foresee the consequences.
DEATH OF THE EARL OF LONSDALE.
DEATH OF THE EARL OF LONSDALE. One of the oldest peers in the Kingdom has just died—■ the Earl of Lonsdale, who was almost a king in the Lake Country. He was born in 1787, was a Lord of the Admiralty sixty-two years ago; three years later (1813) he became a Lord of the Treasury, and in 1828 was made Commissioner of Woods and Forests. Later still he became Treasurer of the Navy, Vice-Presi- dent of the Board of Trade, then Postmaster-General, and (after a long interval) President of the Council. Then he filled offices in the Ministries of Mr. Perceval, Lord Liverpool, the Duke of Wellington, both of Sir Robert Peel's, and In the first of the late Lord Derby's. He was a Tory of the old school, and at various times represented Cockcrmouth, the disfranchised borough of Dunwi'-h, and Westmoreland. He was Lord-Lieutenant of both Westmoreland and Cumberland, until 1868, when a good deal of outcry was raised because he resigned (just before Mr. Disraeli's administration resigned), in or- der that the dignity might be conferred upon his nephew and heir. Lord Lonsdale was never married, and he is succeeded by his nephew, Mr. Henry Lowther, who has represented West Cumberland since 1847, and is 54 years old. There is not likely to be any contest for the seat now vacant, as the Lonsdale influence is paramount.

With regret we have to announce the death of tho wife of Mr. Francis Clare Ford, Her Majesty's Seere- tnrv of Embassy at St. Petorslmrgh. LORD CIVANVIT.: h.—A11 incident in most cases of an interest confined to the family concerned was the subject of universal congratulation in the House of Lords on Monday night. At the sitting of their Lordships it became known that Lady Granville had given birth to a son and heir, and the peers of all parties joined in congra- tulations and good wishes to the leader of the House, whose popularity is by no means limited to the side which he leads. Earl Granville has been twice married. By his present wife, to whom he was married in 1865, he has already had two daughters. THE REV. MR. PCRCHAS.—This fev. gentle- man preached both morning and evening on Sunday, at St. James's Chapel, and took part in each service with no alterations in the ceremony from previous Sundays. He made no further allusion to recent events. The morning service was a special Thanksgiving one for the recovery of the Prince of Wales. The chapel was numerously attended, nearly 1,000 signatures were attached to the memorial to the Bishop of Chichester be- fore it was forwarded. Signatures are still being received. There is a rumour that immediate steps are about to be taken to settle the difficulty between the Judicial Com- mittee of the Privy Council and the rev. gentleman, but we are not at present in a position to say what they are.— Brighton Daily A'ev;s, A second supplement to the London Gazette was issued yesterday, giving the official account of the eeremonial observed at tho Thanksgiving Service at St. Paul's. The report occupies six pages. A CRUEL CASE.—A person named Strauss has for some time post been engaging English ballet girls to perform on the Continent, promising them 35s. a week with travelling expenses paid, and dresses provided. Several girls who accepted this agreement went to Nantes and performed there for six weeks, They were paid three weeks' salary, but the balaaee was paid by the manager to Strauss, who absconded with it. The manager was obliged. to close the theatre, and tM girls were left destitute. Six of them were sent home at the public expense, and the others reached E112- ^Rnd by other means,
