The average quantity of JMitrate of Soda carried by the Iquique and La Noria.

TEMPORARY OWICES.—112, GIUISHAJT HOISE, LONDON. There are few countries, perhaps, which offers so fair a field for Railway enterprise as that comprised under the title of the Regency of Tunis. The population of the Beyalic or Regency of Tunis is no less than 2,500,000, and its capital, seated ten miles inland, contains upwards of 150,000 inhabitants. The cultivated part of the country reaches from 200 to 250 miles into the interior, the climate is very fine, and wheat, bariey, maize olives, &c., are abundantly produced, and the culture of oil is carried on to a great extent. The country also abounds in Mineral pro- ducts, and the exports consist chiefly of silk, woollen and linen fabrics, all of whicn will afford traffic for the Railway to the port of Goletta. The Bey of Tunis has three palaces, viz. at Tunis, at.Bardo, and at Goletta, the principal harbour and citadel of Tunis, and the great naval and commercial depot of the State. His Highness resides about six months in the year at the Goletta Palace, and about four months at the Bardo, and wherever his residence may be for the time being, the whole of the official business of the Regency follows him. The British Vice-Consul of Tunis, in his report to Parliament under date of August, 1870, on the trade of the Regency of Tunis, says The carriages for hire, of which there are some hundreds, are mostly owned by Maltese, who, especially In summer, derive therefrom considerable profits. The active carriage movement, which is a noticeable feature of Tunis, has given rise to the scheme of making a Railway between the town and its seaport, the Goletta. In the face of a traffic affording employment to so many different means of transport, I have no doubt that a properly constructed Railroad would prove a successful undertaking. By official returns contained in the Blue Hook presented to both Houses of Parliament in May, 1871, the following is the result of the existing goods traffic, viz.: Actual imports and exports to and from Goletta, 202,000 tons, estimated at the extremely low rate of Is. per ton for the whole distance to Per Ann. urns ■ Tunis £ 10,100 „ Passenger traffic of 2,800 persons daily each way between Goletta and Tunis, estimated at half the rate of third class passengers in this country, or a half-penny per mile, say £ 140 per day, or per annum. £51,100 „ Passenger traffic of 1,000 persons dailv each way between Tunis and the Bardo, at the same rate £ gj2r> 470,325 The Contractors ha\ e offered to work the Railways during a period of e.\ en years at the rate of 45 per cent. of the gross earnings, but considering the low cossof labour in the country, it is believed that the working expenses will not probably exceeir 40 per cent. and the Directors have therefore preferred to enter into an arrange- ment for three years only. Taking tAe expenses even at 45 per cent., the net income will amount to upwards of £ 35,000 per annum upon the estimate of actual existing traffic, so that, without taking into account the-increased traffic (estimated V.t' fourfold) which always fop,y. the opening of any Haihvay, the remains n-rnu the public Jloticc^ 1 returns as above given, a surplus of upwards of £ 16,000 bayorid the amount required to provide for the interest and Sinking Fund, on the Debentures. The Sinkmg FUnd will he applied in the annual drawing of a pro- portion of the I abehtiires In.the usual way. .The.first drawing will take place on the 1st of January, 187 W A very important fait is that the Ó mcession is for the long period of 99 years-, and that it confers all absolute monopoly of all raiiwav tr^ffic during the whole of that time. The Line front Tunis to Coletta is ct!readveoiiipleted and in opera- tiOll, and the works arc so far advanced upon the Line to. Bardo, that it is proposed to open that Section for traffic this month, and the Contractors have undertaken to finish the entire -works to Sidi Boussaid and-the Mangy by the cud of October next at latest. fte total length of the lines is lipwards of twenty-one miles. A Mortgage of the whole of the Property anA Revenues of the Company will be executed to the Trustees on behalf of the Deben- ture holders, to secure the due payment of the principal and interest of the Debentures.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 3, 1872. THERE is something analogous in the position of Mr. GLADSTONE and President GRANT. During the whole course of the negotiations respecting the Indirect Claims we have frequently had it stated in telegrams and correspondence from America that President GRANT, in view of his candidature for re-election, was anxious to save the treity and there is little doubt that was true, although the Washington Cabinet was just as reluctant to withdraw the Indirect Claims as it was desirous to save the treaty which they endangered. These claims were indeed a great peril to it, although it was pretended that they were made under its pro- visions. Certainly the British Government and the British negotiators never thought of conse- quential damages when the treaty was arranged and if there was an idea of such a thing on the American side, it was carefully concealed it was not mentioned in any way and the object of the negotiators must have been so to word the treaty as to exclude such demands. We will not now go over all-the wearisome details of the origin of these claims and the course of the negotiations upon them. suffice it to say, that it was almost a political necessity for any American Govern- ment that came to a settlement with Great Britain to bring forward these Indirect Claims, and to have withdrawn them directly would have involved more discredit than not to have brought them forward. The. difficulty was what to do with the claims after they had been put for-. ward, and this difficulty was as great for one Government as for the other. All through these protracted and tedious negotiations there must have been a w,,onsciousiiess, on the American side, that a preposterous demand was set up, to which the British Government could never yield but the irritation felt by British Ministers must have been so great that we cannot but admire their tact, patience, and forbearance in avoiding a serious quarrel. Indeed, great discretion has been exer- cised on both sides, though on our part at lea.st Ministers would have been excused for a little more determination at an earlier period of the negotia- tions. But all is well that ends well. British Ministers have repudiated a claim without causing a rupture, and President GRANT has done all that his country could have expected of him under any circumstances, and, doubtless, all that he really intended to do. By hook and by crook he has managed to bring the Indirect Claims before the arbitrators at Geneva, and has had a decision upon them—that decision being, as might have been expected, adverse. Nobody could have done more, and many statesmen would not have done as much without a rupture. The treaty is saved, yet the Indirect Claims have not been Avithdrawn. In different ways this is greditable to both Govern- ments. If Mr. GLADSTONE is successful in saving the Ballot Bill while opposing or neutralising those amendments by which the Lords wished to take all the virtue out of it, he will not have done a bad year's work. It is evident that the PREMIER is as anxious to save the Bill as the PRESIDENT was to save; the Treaty. The preservation of the Bill is quite as essential to his political prosperity as that of the treaty was to GRANT. Better have a Ballot Bill of almost any kind, so long as it is not a Bill to discourage and discredit the Ballot, than to let the matter drop through. President GRANT is preparing for a new Presidential elec- tion Mr. GLADSTONE wisely wished to avoid a general election. The loss of the Ballot Bill would almost have necessitated an appeal to the country on the subject, for there would be no other constitutional way of getting over the difficulty. Certainly Mr. GLADSTONE might have sat down under defeat in the Upper House but that would not have been a course likely to increase his popu- larity. On the whole, he has taken by far the wisest course and if the Lords will only accede to the compromise offered, we shall have quite as good a Ballot Bill as anybody would have ex- pected three years ago. But will the Lords con- sent to forego some of their own amendments I We venture to anticipate that they will, and that the report of the rejection of many of their resolutions sent to them by the Lower House last night will be received with almost tacit acquiescence. They have been met nearly half-way, and this is fJÆJ much as they can expect. If they refuse the present com- promise, they may have next year, after a general election, to accept the Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill. They have now a chance of having their own' way on some points by-and- bye the Commons, supported by the verdict of the constituencies, may be obstinate upon all. Half the tact which was required in dealing with the In- cl direct Claims, ought, if the Lords are reasonable, to carry the Ballot Bill to a successful issue and I complete the triumphs of the Ministry. t

THE GELLIGAER CHARITY. It was urgei in favour of establishing a School Board for the above parish, that such a body was essential if the valuable Charity of Eaward Lewis was ever to be of srr.eral bemfit to the inhabitant?. Since the death of the donor it in cleitr the clergy-iiol one of whom was placed in the trnst, laymen only being appointed by' Mr. Lewis—had laid their hands on the endowment and diverted the stream to ferfciliKe-'tbe soil of the Estab- lishment. The management having jested with the Bishop of thV'Diocese, Ind other dignitaries, many of the Dissenters were sceptical that the endow- ment would ever cliange hands. Some time back, 1 however, the, Dissenting ratepayers memorialised the Endowed School Commissioners, and the result is a sheille, UpOll the whole,of a tery satisfactory character. It will be in the recollection of our readers that Mr. Richmond, Secretary to the Commissioners, attended at Gelligaer, and bad a long conference with the parishioners, when the leaiiiia, features of the new scheme were carefully gone into, and we ara happy to observe that with some not very serious items the scheme, as now printed, is substantially the same. ,The Scheme provides that 1; the object of. this Foundation shall be to advance. the educa- tion of boys and girls by means of a school, or schools, in the parish of Gelligaer, and otherwise." It repeals and abrogates all other uses to which the funds of the trusts had been hitherto applied. The governing body shall consist of ten persons, seven of whom shall be representative or elected Governors, and three Co-optative. The representative Governors shall be elected-three by the School Board of Gelligaer, one by the School Board of Bedwelty, one by the School' Board of Mynyddislwyn, and two by the Board of Guar- dians of the Poor Law Union of Merthy Tydfil. They slifdl remain in office for five years, and be re-eligible. The Co-optative Governors shall hold office for seven yeai-s, and' be re-ehgible. Thd following persons are no- ruinated by the Commissioners for the first time, being two instead of those to be appointed by the Guardians, the others being the three Co-optative Governors :— Samuel Homfray, George William Griffith Thomas, George Thomas Clark, Henry Lynch Blosse, and Charles Herbert James, the fourforroer being the present Trus- o tees of the Charity. The meetings of the Governors shall be held at least twice a year, and in the paiish of Gelligaer. The school shall be carried on in the pre- sent scho d buildings at Pontaberpengam; and it suall be a day and boarding school] under the con- trol of one Head Master, who shall not hold any other emolument or office his salary shall be 2100 a year, with head money of not less than £ 1 yearly for each boy. Boys alid girls shall be admitted withojut reference to their place of birth or residence by pay- meat of fees, as may be fixed by the Governors, not less than 12, and not more than ze5 per annum. Pay- for boarders, apart from the tuition fees,, shall be at the rate of E20 in a hostel, or JG35 in the Master's house 'in the year. No extras allowed. Children will be ad- mittcd from-nine, and remain until fifteen years of age. The Scheme provides also for the efficisrit exami- nation of Illl candidates by the Head Master; admission and periodical examinations by inspectors appointed by tlio Governors. A yearly sum of not less than £ 200, three-fourths of which for the benefit of the children belonging to the parish of Gelligaer,. and one-fourth for the parishes of Bedwellty and Mynydysllwjn, to be applied in aid of tuition by means of total or partial exemption from the payment of tuition fees, and other valuable privileges to the children of those parishes, all to be ttie-result of merit in the candidates. Preference, in all cases, to be given to the children 6f the parish of Gelligaer, and also to candidates from the elementary schools, to secure the double object of attracting good scholars to the school of this foundation, and applying a stimulus to the elementary schools. With the above exceptions the school will be open and free to all comers. Other premises may be provided within the parish of Gelligaer, and a separate school for girls. Provision Ls made for religious education, but not to be compulsory on any child. An allowance is made of Y,100 a year for for five years to the schools under the Elementary Education Act, which have hitherto beeii assisted from the funds of this Charity, but after that tc cease for ever. Provision as also made to indemnify the present Lecturer upon his vacating the post. Evidently the objectionable portions of this scheme arc the retention of the Trustees who are residing at too great a distance from the locality immediately concerned, the one being in a remote part of the county of Glamorgan, and the other equally so in the county of Monmouth: In all conscience there are sufficiently capabln and qualified gentlemen to be found with in a more limited radius, whilst Mr, Clark, of Dowlais, and Mr. G. W. G. Thomas, of the Heath, or rather, of Ystrad Mynach, are sufficient to represent the old Trust, and to give any needful in- formation of the past which the new Governors may require. It is also equally contrary to the spirit of the will of the donor as the new scheme itself that £ 500 of the charity funds should be applied for the advanpe- luetit of Church schools in the parish, the Trustees having formerly refused any aid to the British schools established in the parish. This is clearly at variance with the whole scheme, and also unjust to the Dissenting inhabitants of tho parishes. Passing some minor blemishes, we congratulate the populations of this important district, and cspecialiy the parish of Gelligaer, that at last, in spite of every effort on the part of the Rector and his friends -to defeat the just claims of Dissenters, justice has triumphed, and that much sooner than the most sanguine antici- pated. Now, an important duty devolves upon, not only the various Sschool Boards, but also upon the in- habitants of the parishes immediately interested. At the meeting of parishioners previously mentioned herein it was thought preferable that the Governors should, be elected direct by the ratepayers, and that chiefly for that reason that it was not known that such important appointments would be placed at the disposal of the School Board at the time of the first election. The Scheme as now proposed, places, not only the educational fate o the children of the poor in the ;hands of, the School Board, but also the sons-;nd daughters of all classes, It is clear that the ratepayers should express their views unequivocally as to the action of the School Boards iu this-matter. We are of the opinion that i the election of the Governors is to be placed in the hands of the School Boards as proposed, the y.,res ent Boards should be dissolved, and an opportunity given to the ratepayers to elect persons in whom they could entrust, not only to deal with a Foundation of tln value of some Y,1,300 per annum, but also the edu- cation of: young persons, to an extent and so different in quality that every possible care should be taken in their selection. In thus referring to the present mem- hers of tho Board, let us not be taken as casting any reflection upon their qualifications, but simply elucida- ting the importance of their position, as differing from that which they were placed in at their first election. No ratepayer of the interested ;parishes can fail to see if this Scheme be carried out, how important it will be to appoint proper men on the School Board. And as to the School Boards, the members cannot fail to perceive the great responsibility upon them to appoint qualified persons for Governors. There may be gentlemen among themselves well worthy of the post; but we perceive a degree of selfishness in that course. We conceive the proper position of the Board is to watch the proceedings of the Governors, and simply reward or otherwise, the faithful by re- election, or the withdrawal of their confidence. Doubt- less. this will be the course pursued by the School Board of Gelligaer, upon whom devolves the heaviest portion of the responsibility. As to the election of two of the Governors by the Board of Guardians of Merthyr Tydfil, we cannot perceive what they have to do with the matter, more than the' Poor-law Unions of Bedwellty or Newport. :It is not' to be supposed that the Merthyr Board will give special attention to I the action of the governors, knowing that not until seven years 1:;v(e passed away, will they be called upon to elect two Governors of this Charity, and so on, once in five years. Instead of three, evidently the parish of Gelligaer should elect five of the Governors. But we would also congratulate the two counties of lamorgan and Monmouth upon the realisation of this Scheme. A Charity, the bsneilt of which has been con- finel to a remote corner of one parish only,'and there supplying the smallest amount and the merest- elements of elucation to the poorest c'asq, is now to be thrown open to all boys raid girls wherever they may come from, and the training contemplated is not to consist only of the best English education, but also to include modern, languages, Latin, vocal music and science, in connection with the Science and Ai-fc Department of the Committee of Council. For this extraordinary and precious change it is right we should bear in mmd, wo are not indebted to the Conservative element, to these that arrogate to them- .selves the character cf being superlatively the pre meters of education, but to those who, galled by suet injustice, appealed to an authority too powerful to b) .bribed or intimidated. Let those who have alreadt accomplished so much, persevere until the whoJa scheme is perfected, and they will be rewarded in the benefit conferred on generations yet unborn.

A MURDER WITH MUSICAL ACCOMPANIMENT. — A curious case of murder has just occurred at Berne. A merchant named Berchod had made a present to his wife1 of a musical arm-chair, which played the famous song of Rigoletto, La Donna e mobile," the instant it was sat upon. After this chair had affordell much amusement to the couple, the gentleman conceived an imense aversion to: it, and caused it to be removed to the garret, notwith- standing the prayers of his wife. Some days after Madame, Berchod, in the absence of, her husband, caused the chair to be brought down; but M. Berchod, entering unexpectedly, found it there, and Began to blame her for her disobedience; carried away by an inexplicable fit of rage he ssizod a hatchet and brought it down on the lioall or liis poor young wife, who was but 17 years of age. The body felllifdoss on the chnir, which immediately struck up "La Donna e mobile," upon which the wretched husband, maddened by the sound, lcopt out of window just as the servant broke into the room. M. B|i-chol'a body was carried into the room again as the last stfbins of Verdi's song sounded from the musical chair. THE FRExCH TAX ON RAW MATERIALS.—As the time for the reconsideration of M. Tiy.ers' favourite tax on raw materials approaches, letters are flowing in to tha deputies from the Chambers of Commerce of the sevoral towns they lepressnt, and meetings are being hold by tho varions parties to consider what course to take, as they are naturally unwilling to se a repetition of the panic of the 19th of January. The Chamber of Commerce of Bordeaux has written a letter most hotly opposing the tax in ques- tion, and "imploring the National Assembly to reject yet again these taxing propositions which, with- out appreciable financial results, ovorthrow and ruin commerce and industry." At a meeting of the Left, presided over by M. Albert Giovy, the tax was subjected to much discussion. M. Jules Favre attacked it vigorously, as likely to do harm both to French industry and toreign commercial relations. M. Holland opposed his views, and M. Magnin proposed that the other taxes should be discussed first. The meeting was then adjourned till Tuesday.

THE SIEGE OF PARIS AND GENERAL VINOY. Military publications on the various sieges and cam-, paigns of the late war seem never to be coming to an end. This time it is General Vinoy who has relinquished the sword for the pen. and the siege of Paris is the subject of his theme. This book, however, is above the common run. The author. General Vinoy, having been despatched to assist MacMahon in the fatal attempt to relieve Metz, was fortunate enough to save his corps from the ruin of Sedan -by a retreat from Mezicres, planned and executed with ability and vigour; and he afterwards took an active part- though it has been thought one not sufficiently promi- nent, regard being had to his reputation—in the memo. rable and protracted defence of Paris. His-book sets forth in minute detail his experiences of these momentous events, and makes weighty reflections upon them; and in some reSpects it not only adds a good deal to our previous information, but suggests questions of much importance and interest to the military student. It especially throwa « amear light on the incidents of the 31st of August, the last day of grace for the French army before the catas- trophe of Sedan; it goes far to shew that escape was possible to tha doomed host for many hours had it been boldly and intelligently led and it proves what we believo is certain, that the fatal errorof accepting battle should not be charged on Napoleon III. As for the defence of Paris, it clears up several passages in that strange drama of war with sound military judgment and knowledge, particularly in the eases of the various sorties and the plan of passive defence that was earned on for so long. During the first few weeks of the siege the General commanded tho 13th Corps ia front of the southern fort in the post of honour. The General thinks too much time was soent in the drilling of the forces in Paris. In circumstances like these," he says, every hour of delay Was ruinous to us; and the inaction of the month of November, in a military point of view, was most unfortunate, as the course of events too clearly shewed. At the beginning of the siege it may be said that Paris had no army to defend her; she had a brave'1 and good on& by November; the great question was to know how to make use of it." Vinoy praises the endeavours to break through at Champigny, but blames Trochu's project of a sortie to the north. He had but little hope of a decisive success. The National Guards, especially lhose who gloried in the name of Reds," come in for a lion's share of sarcasm. The General thus describes the "boseigers' defences at the time of the clpitulation To fortify their triple line of investment, the Prussians, had made use of crenellated walls, and of abattis, for which they seem to have had a special prediloction; at some places, too, they had made intrenchments and thrown up redoubts. The parapets of their redoubts had nearly the same profiles as ours, and differed in a few respects only. Thfe epaulements of their batteries were net so thick as those in the case of French artillery: and, speaking gene- rally, their works were more rude and less finished than ours, but they were well-designed, and, perhaps, more prao- tically useful. They had availed themselves with great skill of any advantages afforded by the nature and the varieties of the ground in many places; and their batteries were almost always raised on good sites."

The Chinese carte de visite is a curiosity. It consists of a bright scarlet paper, with the owner's name inscribed in large letters-the bigger the more exquisite. For extra grand occasions the card is folded ten times, the name is written on the right hand lower corner, with a humiliating prefix, lfko "your very stupid brother," your unworthy friend who bows his head and pays his respects," &c., &c, the words your stupid" taking the place of yours respectfully." It is etiquette to return these cards to the visitois, it being presumablethat the ex. pense is too great for general distribution.
