Miss Burdett Goutts And The Knowledge Of...
MISS BURDETT GOUTTS AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF " COMMON THINGS . " Mas iBubdktt Cootts , who has been endeavouring to diffuse a knowledge of " common things" among schoolmistresses and female pupil teachers , has recently visited the Wbitalands Training Institution for Schoolmistresses , « lt £ Jhelsea- ( in connexion with the National Society ) , to distribute the prizes she had offered for competition . Having addressed-the young women ( one hundred and fifty in 'number ) , and congratulated them on the progress 4 hey had made , a copy of the Archbishop of Canterbury ' s Commentary on tfte New Testament was delivered -to each of the successful candidates among the schoolmistresses . To each of the- successful candidates
among the pupils , another religioas work was presented ; and , as each candidate advanced from the ranks to reoarve her prize , Miss Coutts called attention to those points in her -written exercise which had secured it for her . Borne she commended for the sensible manner in which they had spoken of "household work , " " teaching boys = to knit , " " needlework , " " country matters . " One she specially commended for her observations on the influence exercised by the " head of the family . " " It is quite true , " said this pupil , " and it should not be forgotten , that , though a woman cannot alter her
position after marriage , it is entirely in her own power whom she chooses to make the head of her family . " And to this remark Miss Coutts added : — " Teachers would be doing a kindness -to point this out to their elder girls when they leave school , and to advise them , before they marry , to observe carefully the habits of life and conduct towards others of those who wish them to enter into so serious and responsible an engagement . " Other pupils were commended for their excellent treatment of economy , and their feeling answers on kindness to animals ([ insects included ) . The pupil-teachers were lastly called up and presented-with appropriate priaes .
The proceedings closed with tea , to which Miss Coutts sat down with the rest . The scheme , of which she is the presiding genius , has been carried out with the distinct approbation of the Committee of Council on Education , -who offered to attend on the occasion .
The Investiture Of The Bath Iw The Crime...
THE INVESTITURE OF THE BATH IW THE CRIMEA . More detailed accounts of this ceremony have been received during the present week . Lord Gough , in addressing the two armies , said that he had been , commissioned to present " the insignia of the Grand Cross of the Host Honourable Order of the Bath on his Excellency Marshal Pelissior , Commander-in-Cl ) ief of the French army ; on the General of Division De Salles ; and on the General of Division M'Mahon . The absence from the army of the General of Division Morris , " ho added , " deprives me of the satisfaction of investing that distinguished officer with a similar mark of her Majesty's consideration . It is also a pleasant duty for me , in conformity with the orders of my Sovereign , and also as a mark of her royal approbation , to invest with the
insignia of Knight Commander of the Most Honourable Order-of the Bath the General of Division Thiry , the 'Ctaueral of Division Herblllon . the General of Division Doualt , and the General of Division D'Aurellc . The absence from the army of the General of Division Camou , of the General of Division D'Autemarro , and of General D'AllonviHe , deprives me of the satisfaction of conferring the same distinction upon them . I need not tell you , my comrades of the English army , what pleasure and pride I . feel-in having been selected to confer upon you—Lieutenant-General Dacres , . Dr . Hull , Inspector-General of "Hoqpitahj , Lieutenant-General Barnard , LUutenant-General 'Lord Bokeby— 'the well-deserved honours so graciously conferred by our august Sovereign and mistress . May you live many years to enjoy this just reward . of your bravery and devotion 1 "

These sentiments , which unite the English and French armies , and which have been only strengthened by a prolonged daily intercourse , were never more . -clearly shown than on the present occasion .

" While in that capacity , she cannot marry again . In default of the Empress , the Regency belongs to the first French Prince , and in his default to the next in succession , unless

The bill settling 2 O 0 , OO 0 fr . rente upon each of the three daughters of Lou in Philippe or their descendants , was presented to the Corps Legislatif on Monday . Tho * atpai £ dee motifs sets forth as the reason for the measure the conditions of the marriage contracts between Louis Philippe and his sonanin-law . A great many lawsuits are said to bepending , wufcoh would havecaused'theGovernment great annoyanoe by continually bringing the confiscation q usstion on tU « xapis . It- ' baa therefore- been thought pxiuisnt Jtoftnaltotue State * nay « good , round
sum "to make things pleasant . "—Daily JHews Paris Correspondent . Two Mayors of the CSte d'Or ( says the Monitem- of that district ) lately gave certificats de complaisance ( official letters of recommendation ) to an individual who had just been sentenced to six months' i mprisonment and a fineof 500 fr ., as the author of a placard containing an appeal to revolt and threats of death to the-Emperor , to priests , and to nobles . These functionaries having acknowledged the gravity of their fault , and protested their perfect good faith , the prefect has only-snspended them for fifteen days .
An occasional correspondent of the Dedbj News ,-who has recently travelled through the whole of France states his opinion that the nation " is at this moment sleeping , in false confidence , on the brink of a volcano . " Within the space of a few months , there have been six or seven monst « r prosecutions , which have made evident the fact that the country is undermined with hydraheaded secret societies , chiefly of socialist tendencies , but of various forma of socialism . The ringleaders and other chief men baffle pursuit . The Emperor is said to be alarmed . Sixty-five departments are known to contain bands of secret conspirators , and an active propaganda , it is believed , is going on in the army itself . " It has been lately discovered , " says the writer , " that
the leaders of the Pans central committees have secret relations with parties high in Government offices , and learn from them every movement of troops that is decided upon at the Ministry of War . For many months past , not a regiment has left Paris for the provinces but the revolutionary chiefs in the neighbourhood of its fresh quarters knew that it was coming , and were furnished with a list of the name 3 of all the men with whom they might communicate in safety for the purpose of continuing the work of propagandism Unfortunately at the present day there is no vigour in any party but those representing two extreme principles . There is the despotism enthroned in the Tuileries , and the communism which conspires in the dark . A struggle will come . Who shall tell the event ?"
The Emperor , it is said , is shortly to visit Metz , and afterwards the Chateau of Arenemberg , on the Rhine , where he was brought up . There is some talk of an interview with the Emperor of Austria , somewhere near the Lake of Constance It is said that a letter has been received by a distinguished member of the Fusionist party in Paris from one of the Princes of the Orleans family , commenting m strong terms on the resistance offered by the Count de Paris to the " family pact" known as the Fusion .
AUSTRIA . The stagnation of trade in Austria is now so great that many large manufactories have ceased working , aud a commercial crisis is expected . The Roman Catholic authorities at Penzing , a village at no great distance from Vienna , have refused to allow the body of a child , born of parents professing the Greek faith , to be buried , in the churchyard . The coffin was actually dug up after being placed in the ground , and was taken back to the parents . Acts Buch as these are rapidly throwing the members of the Greek Church into the arms of Russia . It is said that Russian agents are now extremely active in the Banat and the Servian Voivodina .
The Synod of Bishops continues to sit . Ihe Vienna Presse recapitulates the principal questions ¦ which have been discussed by the prelates , and then ventures to add that their mission will prove a fruitless one , " if they should not make allowance for the difference between tho men of to-day and the men of the times of Gregory VII . and Iunocent III . " The Emperor , on Wednesday week , gavo an audience to the hierarchy , on which occasion , Prince Schwarzcnberg , the Archbishop of Prague , and the oldest Cardinal in the Empire , though still a young man , addressed his Majesty in Latin , and congratulated him on the passing of the Concordat . " The Lord , " concluded the Prince Cardinal , " will prosper . the work which has been undertaken in His
honour , and give to your Majesty a crown of glory which will ehino in history through all future ages ; a crown which , instead of fading in the heavenly Jerusalem , will shine with a more pure and eternal splendour . May the blessing of the Most High eternully rest on your Majesty and on your illustrious house ! " A rather significant . admission in the course of this address way contained in the words—" It is to be expected that whatever is truly great must at its iirst appearance meet roWi some difficttltiea . " This was spoken with reference to the Concordat . The Emperor replied ( i » lso in Latin ) : — " The glory I aspire to is faithfully to
discharge thoso important duties which God has imposed on me . Oue ef tho first of my duties is to do all in my power that the Concordat may be moat exactly realised Whatever you may lay before me in reference to tins great work will be graciously received and cttrefmjy weighed . It will be most agreeable to mo to comply with -your wishes wheuover circumstances permit . li « - commaud me to God in your prayers , most reverena Bishops , and may the fruits . of your labours to loud all lolawes to what is holy and good be abundant . My W » su and aim is tliftt the nations entrusted to my care m » y enjoy tho blowings , of , this Ufa without losing those oi i the . w « xid , t » com © . "
