An Caput)limbed Letter front the Author
ot "tartar Resartur " on the Subject
' of Female Emancipation.
The following highly characteristic letter,
which Lets never previously hsen
was sent hy the late. Mr. Thomas Carlyle
to a medical student who Wits IL
flineut
supporter of his eundidtatire for the Lord
Rectorship of Edinburgh University, and
who had requested him to express his
opinion on tile woman question generally,
and especially iu regard to the entrance
of women into the medical profession :
nisIss
Cm.:i.ssa, Feb. 9, 1871.)
Di:Aii Slit, - It is with reluctance that I
write anything to you- on this sublect of
female einaucipation, Ivhich is now rising
to such a height, and I do it only on the
strict condition that lvhatever I say shall
- be private. lind nothing of it get into the
newspa,- -,. The truth is the topic for
fie -and
the last\ hree or four, has been a mere
4
' enty years past, pecially for
es
, sorrow 0., mu- one of the most afflicting
proofs of the miserable •aulareby that pre-
vails in human society, and I Witve avoided'
thinking of it, except when fairly corn,7
pelled. What little has become. cleat to
me on it I sliallialow endeavor to tell you.
In the firserpla.ce, then, I have never
doubted -but -the true and neble function of
a woman in this %vorld was, is and forever
will be, that of being a wife and helpmate
tq a worthy man ; anddischargieg well the
. duties that devolve .on her in consequence,
as mother of _children and mistress of a
household -duties high, noble, silently no-
., portant as any that can fall to a human
creature.; duties which, if well discharged,
constitute woman -in a,,soft, beautiful and
almost sacred way -the queen of the world;
,.... And whiet ; by her natural faculties,graces;
strengthlk Aktd weaknesses, are in every way
.indicated as specially hers. . The true
. destiny of a woman„ therefore, is to wed a
. anan she can 'eve and esteem, and to lead
noiselessly =lerhis protection, with all
the wisdom, grace and • heroism that is in
her, the life prescribed inconsequence. - -
It seems, furthermore-, indubitable that
if a woman miss Allis destiny-. or' have
. renounced it She has et:err right; before,
God and man, te. take twyhateverhonest
,eniploythent- she . can fiod open to her in

Fearful Paintirrinum ot the Survivors -Two
Become Mad and Die.
A despatch from New York contains fur-
ther particulars, from Crookhaven, of the
loss of the Bohemian., Here is a portien
of the narrative of one of the survivors :
Two of the men, James Browne and a
Greek, were very weak and they died a.fter•
ward. We heard no further cries, and we
then set off, keeping the boat's head to sea.
We did not know where we were, aud we
did not like to approach too closely to land
until we saw where wo were. It was a
dark night, with heavy Mist. _Dun
ino the night we suffered terribly.
Most of the men were without clothes -
and we had not a drink of water. Browne
and the Greek became raving madmen.
They bit at our legs, and one of them
seized inc by the:leg while 1 was rowing
and attempted to bite me. Browne died
at 3, and the other one two hours after-
ward. The second officer and I consulted,
and under the circunistances,having regard
to :die crowded state of the boat,
and the fact *that many of the- men
were without clothes, we determined to
throw the bodies overboard. I am
almost ashamed to tell You that we had to
strip them of their clothes.The boat was
leaking, and with a portion -of the shirt .1
wore we calked the leak. In the morning
it was still thick, and we decided • to go
before the wind, knowing that the wind was
on the previous night blowing on the shore.
In a Short thne we made tho land We
were their ahnost exhausted.

The Final Scene in the " Bordeaux

Losoox, Feb. 25. -For a week past the
French papers have been filled with reports
of it most horrible case just tried in Bor-

and obscene as to be unfit for description.
Five men, among thein• two officers, and
three women, stood chargedlwith a series
of almost incredible ontrages on two un;

GEN. COLLEY AMONG THE _KILLED
Terrible .Mlaughter of the tiStia--The De-
termined !Stand of the Highland..
erg. who Would not Retreat.
LONDON, Feb. 27.-A despatch from
Mount Prospect; Natal, dated to -day,
says : Gen. Colley with six companies took
possession of Spitzkop, a. position to the
left of Laing's_ Nek. - Firing has been
heard all the morning.
A*Newcasile despatch says a, severe en-
gagernent took place to -day between the
Boers and. Gen.- Colley's force, in which
the latter were driven from their position
at Spitzkop. There was great loss to -both -
sides, Many British officers were killed
and wounded.
A -later telegram from Gen. Colley's camp
says all the wounded coming in agree in
reporting that Gen. Colley has been killed.
The Boers charged up the hill four times,
and were about to_retreat whop the British
were forced to retire because -the reserve
ammunition . had not been taken to the
extreine sumniit. .
Gen. Colley, ina despateh'sent previous
to the engagement to -day, . says -we' occu-
pied Alajela mountain 011 Saturday night.
It irritnediately overlooks the Boers' posi-
tion. The Boers aro fighting us from
'below.- '14 a later telegram he says the
Beers' are still firing hea,yily on the hill,
but have broken up their laager and begun
to move away.
_ The War Office has received the follow-
ing from Col. Bond, commanding at gount
Prospect': "General Colley,with 22 offihets
and 627 men,: Consisting of infantry land

Parnell's Manifesto to Victor
Hugo.
EXTRAOFIDINART EVICTION THREATENED.
Improvement in the Internal
AEI:airs f 1ItCai111111117.
Lord Annesley's threat to evict all
tenants on the Longford estates and to
take into his own hands about one-third of
the entire county has directed attention to
the black shadow of eviction which is
looming over a vast number of farmers in
Ireland. Under the Coercion Bill it will
be impossible to resist eviction. The tac-
tics which have worked so successfully
heretofore will be utterly useless now,
because. every person resisting the process-
server or bailiff will be liable to arrest on
the spot and imprisonment foio eighteen
months without trial.
Parnell has sent the following letter to
Victor Hugo :-

cal discovery; the result of tenyears' inves-
tigation. -It is : " That the earth rotates'
annually once rounda second axis, Which

of daily rotation. This_ 'movelnent is due
to thefact that, owing - to the preponder-

in Asia, Europe and Africa i on one sideJ.Of-
the earth, the centre of gravity of the -
earth- is not coincident With the centre of
the earth; and, consequently, is not located
in the plane of the equator. The results of 7
