Tho Financial, and Industrial Crisis.

Tho Opportunists have been the irioatfs, of creating a great many new otlices. Not only have they made no retrenchment in tho Imperial Budget, but they have largely augmented it. Each new recruit to the party has had to be provid«lj|with a billot. After the war, M. Thiors, who wai a Protectionist, imposed direct taxation in order to pay olf the war indemnity, while now our huge budget of four milliards—the largest in the world—is chiefly derived from indirect taxation, which presses with very froat severity upon the working classes. "lithough they receive high wages, yet they are merely nominal when allowance is made for taxation and other official levies. It lias been shown by M. Tolain, the working men's representative in the Senate, that the 3'aris jiroUtairc pays about 150 francs (£<>) annually per head in indirect taxation, so that the annual contribution for a family of four people—father, mother, and two children-is 000 francs (£24), a large deduction truly from the earnings of the bread-winner. Then, too, there are the heavy railway freights and tho vexatious exactions of the Octroi or City Customs. Nothim'ean bo brought into Paris from the country—not even a can of milk or a bunch of trapes for a pick friend—but you must pay duty upon it. livon upon such small game .18 a rabbit twopence per head is charged. The con sequence of all this is to produce the dear living of which I have already spoken, and it has now led up to a financial and indus trial crisis It follows that the Parisian workmen can no longer compete with those of fordun nations. After the Commune, hosts of skilled workmen took refuge in the neighbourinpcountries, which were formerly 20(5 customers of Franco. Now, through the inllux of skilled labour, they have ceased to bo customers, and have become rivals instead

THE PERIPATETIC SCHOOL MASTER.

Proposed Removal of Mr Talbot to

Nelson-street School,

Mil Talhot appears to be still in diiliculties, Sometime ago the Committee of Grafton Road School recommended the removal of Mr Talbot from that institution, owing to the want of harmony existing between him and the Head-master, Mr Hoaly. It will be remembered that when the Head-master ahip of this school waa vacant, Sir Talbot was a candidate for tho appointment against Mr Healy, who was the candidate selected by the Board and finally ap pointed. Tho Board was agrood to remove Air Talbot from Grafton Koad School, as recommended by tho Committee, and wlion dje asaistant-maatership of tho Painell School became vacant tho Board suggested the appointment of a covtiticated master of lone «*perionce. The district Committee recommended Mr Talbot, but the matter was left oy«r until after the appointment of a, new Committee. Tho new Com- Hiittoa was elected, and by a majority of one vof.e again recom mended Mr Talbot. While the matter WB.B unsettled, tho Chairman of the Com mittee became bankrupt, and so forfeited his seat. The Board then waited for the , new Chairman to bo appointed, but as matters verts at a dead letter in the Com mittee, the Board finally filled up the vacancy by appointing its own nominee (Mr Webber). Mr Talbot still remained to be disposed of, for the Graftun Koad Com-1 mi«ai» threatened to resign if he , w>«, not removed from that school. The Board suggested an exchange between Mr Talbot and Mr Tbw*ites, second master of Nolson etreet School, a»d this latter proposition proved the subject of a rather lengthy Siscussion ttt the City Schools Com mittee last evening. Members Generally objected to the removal of Mr Thwa.tes from Nelson-street School. The proposal to nut Messrs Talbot and Brabazon in the iamo school was considered by one member to be the most extraordinary tiling that could be conceived, while another sup ported this remark by saying that Mr, Talbot waa rather ".cantankerous while, Mr Brabazon had a temper of which the. •■patience of Job" was uot »cw p«uous Wbot h«rf been in quarrels in several po«. tions in whiefc he had been placed. Mr, Sther moved, " That the Committee m the preaent state of Nelson-street School, ■considar it iaad-visabW to remove Mr Thwaitea." To this *n .amendment was moved by MrHwMB, "Ttat H,e matter be deferred." Mr Crowthej-'s jpotipn was c»rried, so that Mr Talbot w ag^in thrown on hands, while the IJjW ol he ■Grafifcon Road Committee is stM mam toinedWttt "if Air Talbot is not removed SSmttSb .«chool the Committee will ro .sign." Fu,ntjiw proceedings will no doubt fee watched with teierest.

INCENDIARY FIRES IN THE SOUTH.

INVKKC4.BIHIX, Wednesday. Ax inquiry was held to-day into tho tiro which destroyed tho Theatre Eoyol, Provin cial Hotel, and other buildings three weeks ago. Evidence was taken at eonßidorablo length, and tho jury after deliberation ro turned a verdict, " Thnt the theatre wag wilfully nnd feloniously set on fire by some person unknown." A suspicion has existed that a man named Luke O'Brien, who had been prowling about the town for somo weeks in a vagrant fashion, might, be impli cated in the several tires that have occurred. He was convicted of the theft of liquor from the hotel while it was on fire, and was again found guilty to-day of stealing tho kit in which he had placed tho liquor, and also of stealing photos in an album at the Supremo Court Hotel. He was seen by soveral parties at and before tho time of the lire in its vicinity, and was the first to ring the bell. He was brought gp at the inquest and identified. His statements worp at variance with those of the othor witnesses, but the man is said to be weak In mind. The Coroner therefore said that his state ments one way or the other were not to be relied On. Large portions of tho walls of ■the byildjing in Beo-strect burnt on Satur day and Sunday were pulled down to-day, being unsafe. The tiro insurance agents meet the Borough Council to.-morrow night re the recent fire and "fire extinguishing.
