Letters from Tonquin give a discouraging account of the privations and sufferings of the French troops. Their losses have been much more severe than is generally known and the termination of hostilities will, it is believed, be welcome to the French military authorities. Sentence of 12 months' hard labour was passed at the Cumberland assizes, on Wednesday, on John Anderson, commercial traveller, who had embezzled from his employers, Messrs. Carr and Co., biscuit manufacturers, sums amounting to £ 1,900. He had been in their employ over 25 years.

Trade in these districts is practically at a standstill. On the occasion of their annual visitations, the Bishop of Ely and the Archdeacon of Gloucester both called attention to the serious reduction in the incomes of the clergy, in consequence of the deprecia- tion of landed property, and suggested various reme- dies. The Archdeacon urged the extension of the power of the clergy to lease their glebes to 99 years, so as to promote peasant farming, and the Bishop pointed out that the laity would have to bear more of the expense of maintaining schools. His lordship urged the adoption of weekly offertories in every church. The labouring classes, he said, were willing to give of their little, and frequent opportunities should be offered. At the Lewes assizes on Wednesday, Richard Money, the captain of a sailing barge on the Medway, surrendered to take his trial for the manslaughter of William Homedew, at Sittingbourne. Money, Home- dew, and others were drinking together, when Homedew forced a fight on Money, was knocked down, and died soon afterwards.

The police have succeeded in getting one of the dogs, a most valuable animal, identified as belonging to Hengler's Circus. The man Goode, on being asked to account for the possession of the dogs, stated that he had bought some of them from different persons, while others had been brought to him to have their haircut. Miss Ada M. Leigh, president of the Association of the Mission Homes for Englishwomen in Paris, writes with reference to Lord Granville's reply to the Manchester memorial, in which he stated that the Government were disposed to think that the French consular certificate would praotically afford a remedy for the evils complained of. Miss Leigh says it is ap- parent that a great gulf exists between the promised consular certificate and the legal marriage with Frenchmen of numbers of Englishwomen in humbler life, only cognisant of English usages. When and where is the question of nationality to be asked? What is now needed of our Legislature," she adds, "is that some means be devised by which the im" portant advantage offered by the French Government may not fail of its practical eff act." Mr. Mundella, speaking at the distribution of prizes in connection with the Hanley School of Art on Wednesday, referred to the future of the Eng- lish people, and the bearing which science and art would have upon her position. He said that during the present century the population of Great Britain had trebled, and it was often asked what should be done with the English people if they continued to increase at this rate. Why, those at home would have to carry the comforts of English life and Eng- lish industries to the temperate zones of the world. England's future greatness depended upon her industries, but she had been too long content with her pre-eminent position in this respect. Art and science should be applied more to the industries of the country, and it was only by this means that she would be able to compete with countries like France, Ger- many, and Italy. After a good many false starts, the African travel- ler, Herr Flegel, has at last taken ship from Hamburg for Lagos. Herr Flegel intends to ascend the Niger as far as the mouth of the Penue, whence he will strike away up the latter river, and then southwards, to the scene of his previous explorations, which he means to complete in the interest, it is understood, of German commerce. He is accompanied by several scientists. A labourer, of Wimborne, named Daniells, has committed suicide in a singular manner. He ob- tained two marbles from his child, and, putting one down the barrel of a gun be had been using to scare birds with, fastened the gun to a hurdle stake, and pulled the trigger by means of a piece of string he had tied to it. Death was instantaneous. He had previously been in a lunatic asylum. Whilst a procession of the Salvation Army wall parading the streets at Bexley Heath, a horse was startled by a female member of the army, who was dancing and flourishing a tambourine. The animal bolted into the surrounding crowd, and several persons were injured, one very seriously. The horse, a valuable one, was also considerably injured. The offer of Mr. Joseph Cropland, a local banke.1 and manufacturer, to give £5,000 in aid of the founda- tion of a free library for Huddersfield, not having been accepted by the corporation, who also declined the offer of Sir John Ramsden to give, rent free, a suite of rooms for 10 years for the same purpose, the former gentleman has now given £1,000 to the Hud- dersfield Infirmary, expressing a wish that it should be used in establishing a children's ward, which is greatly needod at that institution. Joseph Smyth, a bank porter, is alleged to have stolen JE50 from the Birmingham, Dudley, and District Banking Company, by substituting copper money for silver in paper packets. He has been committed for trial.
