A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IN NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS. BY EDWARD SPENDER PIUCE 3s. "It is a straightforwardly and sometimes gracefully written Sketch of Norway, the Channel. Islands, and Cornwall, from the holiday traveller's point of view, not, however, exclusively devoted to matters of scenery or itinerary , b u t designed to give the voyager an intelligent interest in the manners, customs, industries, and institutions of the districts he is expl *Ting. Fos intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spender's book will be welcome. It has, moreover, the decided advantage of com pression, clearness of style, and easy manageableness of bulk."— Daily Telegraph. "The volume perfectly fulfils its purpose. It is neat and cheap and contains in a small space a great quantity of very interesting matter, much of which will be novel, and all of which will be useful, not only to those who visit the places described, but to those who stay at home. Mr. Spender is an acute observer, a most industrious and judicious collector of facts, and an eloquent and graphic writer, and does ample justice to his subjects."— Yorkshire Post. ---- "It deserves a welcome, this book we 1 - ave so long uncon sciously been in search of. The itineraries themselves are to the intending excursionists a veritable benefaction. . . Altogether the book is one to carry in one's knapsack or valise during the happy time of our holiday excursion, and to give a place to on our book-shelves afterwards as a most pleasant remembraacer." —Sun " Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is a very delightful little book. The essay on Norway is particularly full of information, but the others are not far behind it in proportion to their length, and all are written in a genial spirit."—Globe. " Without being exactly a guide-book, it answers all the pur poses of one, and contains beside a vast quantity of information, all given in the most condensed form possible. There is not a line of space wasted in fine writing, but the descriptions of scenery bear witness to the author's genuine love and appreciation of the picturesque, just as his closely compressed facts and statements prove the practical and hardworking man of letters."—Man chester Courier. " From back to hack Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is full of matter interesting equally to the tourist and the ordinary reader. It is written in an easy and pleasant styl , and is well got up.' " Eastern Morning News. " We cannot part with this fascinating little work without con gratulating Mr. Spender upon it. Addressed, as it more especially is, to travellers In Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cor nwall, it is, nevertheless, a book that will afford the kee nest gratifica tion to the general public. . . . As to its literary merits we need say nothing, the name of the author being sufficient guarantee on this point."—Western Mail. " The articles shew unusual power of observation, are full of genial gossip, and supply just what the excursionist wants- - reliable information."—Western Daily Tress.

Dr. Lankester writes regarding Extract of Meat :—" But there is a difference in flavour, and here, as in all other kinds o food, it is the flavour that makes the quality." It is essentially on account of the line meaty flavour, as distinguished from the burnt taste of other Extracts, that LIEBIG COMPANY'S EXTRACT defeated all Australian and other sorts at Paris, Havre, and Amsterdam, and is so universally preferred in all European markets.

The reduction has amounted to a cash return of 50 per cent., or one-half of the premium, at last seven annual divisions of profits. MIDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT. Office, .5, Red Lion-square, W.C., London.—During the last 10 years this Institution has been instrumental in rescuing a vast number of poor girls from a life of degradation and misery. The plan adopted has been to seek the wanderers in the streets of London and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and faithful addresses have been given. During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly every week in some of the most frequented districts of the metropolis. The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many fallen ones. • To enable them to continue their important work, FUNDS are earnestly solicited, and will be thankfully received by Mr. John Stabb, lion.

WILLS AND BEQUESTS. The wills of the undermentioned distinguished foreigners have been recently proved in London The Most Excellent Visconde de Valmor, Joze Isidoro Guedes ; Count de .St. George, Alexander Henry Augustus John ; Baron von Brentano, Johann Jedocus Anton ; Sir Anthony Pieter.van Doom, Knight. The will of Sir Thomas Herbert Maddock was proved in London, on the 15th ultimo, by Lady Maddock, his relict, and the personalty in this country sworn under a nominal sum. Sir Thomas was formerly in the Bengal Civil Service of the H.E.1.C., and was successively Secretary to the Indian Government, Deputy Governor of Bengal, and President of the Council of India; was M.P. for Rochester 1852-7 ; and died January 15 last, aged 78. The will is dated March 30, 1868, and is very brief, being contained in the these words :—" I, Sir Thomas Herbert Maddock, will and bequeath to my wife all property lam possessed of in England and elsewhere, and all that may hereafter fall to me, and appoint her sole executrix." The will of Lieutenant- General Edward Hungerford Delay al Elers Napier, of Her Majesty's 61st Foot, was proved in London, on the 17th ult., by Eliza Louisa Elers Naples, his relict, the sole acting executrix, the other executor, the Rev. H. Jodrell, having power reserved to prove hereafter. The personalty was sworn under £2,000. To his son, Lieutenant Charles E. Napier, R.N., he has left his plate, and directs that all the rest of his property shall be divided into three parts, leaving one such part to his wife absolutely, and a lifeinterest over the other two parts, which ultimately will revert to his said son and his daughter, Sibyl Napier. There is this paragraph :—" At the request of Lady Tul lock I hereby bequeath the sword she presented to me (that had belonged to her late husband, Sir Alexander Murray Tulloch, K.C.8.) to his nephew Captain Alex ander Bruce Tulloch, 26th Foot." The will of Mr. Arthur Lewis, formerly of Champion-hill, Dulwich, but late of Brighton, was proved in London on the 9th ult. under ninety thousand pounds personalty. The late Miss Elizabeth Champion, of Wandsworth-common, whose will has been proved under £120,000, has left legacies to several charitable institutions, among them are the following :—The Society for Promoting Christian Know ledge, Society for the Spread of the Gospel, Church Build ing Society, National- Education Society, National Benevo lent Institution, Governesses' Benevolent Institution, Metropolitan Convalescent Institution ; Bethlehem, Lon don, and St. George's Hospitals, each £lOO. The Church Missionary Society, St. Ann's Schools, Asylum for the Indigent Blind, Asylum for Deaf and Dumb, Battersea National Schools, and Surrey Society for the Employ ment of Discharged Prisoners, £5O each ; and legacies to some othet societies—all free of duty.— lllustrated London Neese. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. It is intended to use some of the empty buildings in Woolwich dockyard for housing the gun carriages and waggons just put into order, and ready for delivery to the field batteries of Royal Artillery whenever they may be required at the grand depot. They are now so numerous that sufficient covering cannot be found for them there, and they are in consequence exposed to the action of the weather. The United Service Gazette says the War office intends trying pebble powder in the' Channel Squadron, to ascer tain the effect of recoil. —Mr. Nelson Girdlestone, superin tendent of Naval Stores at Whitehall, has returned from a tour of visits to her Majesty's Dockyards, where he has been inspecting the quantities of the various descriptions of stores availablc for service ; and we learn, on good authority, that he has found them lamentably deficient. The new system for the supply of naval stores, which was adopted by the present Administration fn 1869, has entirely broken down, and the old system has been reverted to. The Lords of the Admiralty have given instructions for the seaman in the Channel Fleet to be instructed in the use of Adams's breech -loading pistols, with a view to their adoption if found suitable. The Hydro grapher of the Navy, Rear-Admiral George H. Richards, F.R.S., is in communication with the Hydrographer of Marine of the French Republic, with the view to a joint survey, by the two Governments, of the Red Sea. During the absence from Whitehall on leave of Admiral Sir Spencer Robinson, K.C.8., the duties of Controller of the Navy are being conducted by Mr. Nathaniel Barnaby assistant-constructor. --------- ---- - The Army and Navy Gazette says : — The French army is unanimous in declaring that their Intendance, which is equivalent to our Control Department, has proved the most hideous failure experienced in the war. The atten tion of Mr. Childers having been drawn by the Medical Director-General to the professional and other merits of Messrs. Henry Slade, Acmuty Irwin, and W. B. Dalby, he gave directions that, although those officers had not completed their twenty years' active service, they should be immediately promoted to the rank of Staff-Surgeon. We are glad to be able to report that the augmentation of the forces goes on with very commendable rapidity. The recruits for the regular Army were stated by Lord Elcho last week to amount to nearly 4,000 men, and since then upwards of 300 fine young men have been obtained from various parts of the kingdom.—The Lords of the Admiralty have awarded. to Mr. J. B. Rogers, the inventor of a life-saving appara tus, the sum of £2OO towards defraying the expenses to which he has been put in carrying out experiments shew ing the merits of his invention.—Commander Harvey has been ordered to be borne on the books of H.M. Excellent, pending the further tri als of his torpedo system.— As we anticipated some weeks and the 2nd battalion 6th Royals at Pembroke Dock, will replace the 89th and 63rd Regiments, under orders to embark for India next month, upon the Irish establishment. The. 98th will, doubtless, be the first regiment to cross the Channel, leaving England towards the end of the present month, relieving the 89th Regiment, the 2d battalion 6th following immediatelya!ter Nothing has been arranged with respect to the regiments which are to occupy New castle-on-Tyne and Pembroke ; so that although the 2d battalion 13th Light Infantry and 4th battalion 60th Rifles are named, the statement must be regarded as premature. FRANCE AND THE WAR-SHIP. LINES BY TIIE LATE SIR THOMAS WYSE. The following poem (never before published) was written during the American War by the Right Hon. Sir Thomas Wyse, in the December of 1861, four months before his lamented death. Ita appear ance at this moment upon the morrow of the dreadful calamity which has just occurred off Cape Finisterre, seems to us in every sense appropriate, the lines having an affecting application to the fate which has just befallen the great war-ship, the Captain, and another application also to the situa tion of the Vessel of the State in France : THE LESSON. A fearful sight in the grey dawn to see _ A mighty Ship in death-strife with the power Of the huge roused Atlantic, in one hour Dying—yea gone ! the wild waves fierce and free To prey on what they list. But what are they ? Waves, winds, and ship, to a great nation tost To utmost wreck, by thousand whirlwinds tost, Wrestling for life, far down the gusty sea Of popular will. Welcome to gaze and grieve Over our neighbour, but not less our fate To read in his ; how little gold can give When souls are tried ; how envy grows to hate, How selfishness is weak ; how men believe In vain, who will not act ; how Freedom waits For life on order,—last, how Truth is power Alone to save in this last proving hour. Mr. M'Combie, M.P., writes to say that there is not the slightest foundation for the rumour that he was about to retire from the House of Commons. Sir William-Stirling Maxwell (says the Edinburgh Courant) has furnished another proof of his genuine interest in the cause of education by contributing £l,OOO to the Glasgow University fund. • • The Irish national papers are in ecstasies at the " establishment "of the French Republic. It compen sates, they think, for all the losses of the war. They are of opinion that the Parisians act reasonably in rejoicing over the turn in affairs, and are eager to rejoice along with them.

LEGER. On Wednesday the great St. Leger race will be run for at Doncaster. The meeting, commonly called the Don caster September meeting, commences to-morrow (Tues day) and ends on Friday. There is no pleasanter gather ing in the whole range of racing fixtures than this one upon the far-famed moor. Apart from the St. Leger stakes the struggle for the " cup " is sure to give rise to an exciting contest, as our best English horses will be opposed by the pick of the French thoroughbreds, many of whom are now located at Newmarket. With the sporting papers Sornette appears to be the most general favourite. The struggle for the St. Leger at one time promised to lie between Kingcraft and Macgregor, one of whom has won the Two Thousand and the other the Derby, but re cent information to hand does not go to favour the chance of Macgregor, who is reported to have " pulled up lame," or come in badly after some canter or other. The follow ing is a list of starters in the race : Horse. Palmerston . Kingcraft .... Wheat-ear - Tabernacle Haw thornden Torreador Bonny Swell Captivator Alaric . Sunlight Enterprise Normanby The Boy Jockey. Chaloner French Morris Goater Grimshaw J. Osborne Jeffery Fordham Custance Snowden M`Ewen Hunt Wyatt Nobleman Macgreg or Champion Valois .. ... Cymbal Maidment Ptarmigan Irregularity DOUBTFUL STARTERS. Platt ... ... . ... Lynch Hudson The Sporting Life selects Kingcraft as the winner, and Palmerston as second horse for the race, while it thinks that Captivator may succeed in getting third place for Mr. Merry's colours. The Field also supports Kingcraft. This paper adds although Doncaster ground is pro verbially fatal to favourites, we apprehend no outsider this anniversary will be found capable of disposing of the Derby winner. The Sportsman thinks the first three horses will come in at the post as follows —Kingcraft, 1 ; Captivator, 2 ; Palmerston, 3. A prophet in the paper says on Tuesday, there is a splendid entry for the Fitz• william Stakes Anton, Ptarmigan, Rosicrucian, Gamos, Digby Grand, Cyclone, Tabernacle, and the French Flyer, Sornette, amongst the number. This is such an entry as I never saw for the Fitzwilliam Stakes before, and it will alonebe worth going all the way to Doncaster to see. Amongst such a splendid lot it is difficult to say which is best, but if I take Anton and Sornette I do not think I shall be far out. There will be a competitive examination early in the month of November of gentlemen desirous of entering the Royal Navy as medical officers. The South London Press says that out of 800 lodgers qualified to register in Lambeth less than 300 have put in their claims this year. Out of 700 in Southwark only about 200 have claimed. The Government of India is said to have sanctioned the employment of a solicitor in the Wahabee trials, on an allowance of 150 rupees a day, exclusive of other expenses, as recommended by the Government of Bengal. Rear-Admiral Glisson, Captain Rogers, and the officers of the United Status' screw fri g ate Franklin, now at Portsmouth, will be entertained at dinner on Monday by the members of the Royal Naval Club, Portsmouth, at the club house, Green-row, Governor's-green. The Civil 'Service Gazette states that from October Ist the new post card will come into force—one halfpenny postage, It is very a neat and nicely designed missive, with an impressed Queen's head, and will no doubt contribute greatly to public convenience, The contributions at Leicester for the relief of the sick and wovnded in the present war are flowing in at the rate of four hundred pounds per week. The amount already subscribed reaches close upon £l,OOO. The manufacturers, in addition to money contributions, are giving hosiery. The statement is confirmed as all but ascertained that the clergyman drowned the other day in the Thaines when the Chichester's boat was run down by an Irish steamer, was the Rev. Charles Hind, curate to the Rev. F. A. Marsh, M.A., incumbent of Christ Church, Milton next-Gravesend. Earl Granville has received a despatch from Lord Lyons, forwarding a copy of a note from the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, containing information respecting the composition and regulations of the French prize courts as well as of the formalities to be observed by neutrals for the restriction of merchandize loaded by them under the belligerent flag. The note is published in a supple ment to the London Gazette of Friday. The special correspondent of the Telegraph, says it is believed that the Prussian advance on Paris is stopped. They are reported to be occupied in the reduction of Metz, and in keeping open their line of communications, which are threatened. Negotiations for peace have been opened by Count Beust, supported by Russia. An unfavourable view is taken of the attitude of England. • -- The Vienna correspondent of the Standard telegraphs that Prussia has menacingly protested against the forcible occupation of Roman territory by Italy ; hence the delay in Austria's recognition of the French Republic, which only awaits that of the other Great Powers. Diplomatic i action in favour of peace is here deemed mpossibie at present. The Saturday Review thinks- the vacillation of the Emperor during the German war of 1866 was the prin cipal cause of his ruin. He had watched with pleasure the growing antagonism between Austria and Prussia, in the confident hope that either both Powers would weaken themselves in an evenly balanced contest, or that, as he had already extorted Savoy and Nice from Italy as the price of his assistance in the liberation of the Peninsula, he would have the opportunity of levying a fine on the victor in the German struggle. He vainly offered the Prussian Minister to bring 300,000 men to his aid in the war with Austria, if only he might be allowed to rectify or extend the eastern frontier of France. When his overtures were rejected he endeavoured to persuade his countrymen that the preponderance of Prussia was not inconsistent with the division of Germany, and he caused his Minister to assure the Legislative Body that the States south of the Main were still entirely independent. The state ment of the plain truth that France had nothing to do with the internal policy of Germany would have been a departure from the systematic policy of the Empire. A month of defeat has brought with it cop clign punish ment-on the Emperor,as well as on the nation which he had studied and habituaily courted. It is just that char latans should be responsible for the consequences of the follies on which they have played. Undeceived dupes re quire a victim, even though they have been themselves half conscious accomplices of the fraud. When the interests of his dynasty were not at stake, Napoleon 111. was capable of understanding and of consulting public welfare. The country enjoyed great prosperity during his reign, not without the co-operation of the ruler who was himself the Government. In cultivating the alliance of England he continued the policy of Louis Philippe, and the lapse of time enabled him to succeed better than his predecessor in abating the ancient ani mosity of his countrymen. The gratitude which his par tisans claim from Englishmen on his behalf may be tem pered by the recollection that his Project of Treaty in. eluded an offensive alliance with Germany against Bel gium and England. He preferred to rest his power rather on the weaknesses of his countrymen than on his own public services, and he is now expiating in cap tivity and in exile his faith in the omnipotence of false hood. THE REVOLUTION. Poor Prevost Paradol ! says the Spectator. Six weeks longer of pain, forty-five days more of patience with the Almighty, and his burden would have passed away, and he would have had a career, and all Europe would have honoured him for his wise prevision. There is sense in the composition of this Provisional Government. That Government is Parisian, but the defence of Paris is first task. It is a compromise, of course, between three parties— Paris, the inorganic, anarchic, democratic force ; the Orleanists, that is, liberty as understood by the com fortable ; and the Republicans, that is, the thinkers of France—and the compromise is well managed. The success of the Republic is, of course, dubious, de pending mainly on King William of Prussia, Providence, and the effect of the magnificent offer its chiefs for the first time in the history of France are able to make to the peasants—their exemption from the blood-tax ; but, con sidering its means, its hurry, and its necessities, Paris, we believe, has chosen well. They say. the Government was self-chosen, and in a way that is true ; and the men who, with a victorious enemy at their gates, France in revolution, authority ended, and two millions of people on the verge of despair, decide in the teeth of the laws to take the helm, and do take it, are, in all human proba bility, the men to whom that helm, by a right higher than legality, ought to belong. PARIS AND FRANCE. No, says the John Bull, it is not the Emperor that made this war ; it is Paris, and Paris only ; and, alas, Paris, it is too likely, will pay the penalty. Beautiful Paris ! How terrible a thought ! Bombarded, fired, laid low, with all it palaces and towers, or at least the de spoiled and ruined for long, long years to come. But again and again within the last four years the Emperor has prevented war. This is certain. This is acknow ledged by all who have the slightest acquaint ance with the real internal history of France. Unhappy France I we feel thy sorrows as our own, and we confess also that thy bitter internal foes, the Gambettas and his democratic crew, might become perilous to us and to the whole civilised world. These men entertain schemes of uttermost destruction. Their emissaries are capable of firing every city of the modern world, in the mad desire of vengeance for the self-inflicted woes of Paris. Let us be on our guard then against the worst. Let us, on the other hand, not flight against necessity, but let us rather yield honour where honour is due, honour to the valour. of France, and honour to the valour of Prussia and of Germany, and submission to the unalterable decrees of Providence, which will accomplish its own chosen end, whatever be the crimes or follies or unhappy weaknesses of its creatures. GERMAN REASONS AGAINST ANNEXATION. The Economist considers Count Bismarck will hardly be a true statesman if, by his own good will at all events, ho consents to complicate the development of Germany for generations by accepting the responsibility of a conquered province. Prussia is fast becoming in the eyes of Europe what Macaulay said that it was the object of Frederick the Great to make her, all sting. Her military greatness is as startling as it is new. She naturally excites fear and jealousy, without any fault of her own, on all hands: The remark you so commonly hear, and which seems to us based on this fear and jealousy, and on this alone, that, however bad the Emperor's. excuse for war with Prussia, war with Prussia would have been "an " ultimate necessity" for France, shews how deep and common this feeling is. Well, if Germany wishes to intensify this feeling among all the neutral powers, in stead of letting it wear itself out, she cannot do better than take new and quite superfluous guarantees for her military greatness. A Prussia ostentatiously dominating France with great fortresses on the west side of the Rhine would be far more formidable to the imagination of Europe than she is even now—far more formidable, and therefore, we believe, less strong ; for it will be readily conceded that a disposition to combine against her, and to oppose instead of deferring to her wishes, would weaken her infinitely more than a couple of fortresses, however strong, could strengthen her. Germany is, we believe, really a pacific Power, and she ought to desire for her own sake the reputation of a pacific Power, though a very strong pacific Power which can enforce her will when needful. Admitting all that may be said for the military value of these places, we sincerely believe that Germany would lose real power in Europe by taking them. On every ground, then, both internal and external, we hold that a policy of annexation, be it only annexation of fortresses, would be mischievous for Germany, and the considera tions we have advanced are not recondite but that, wo believe, they may have a very important influence over the mind of so cool a statesman as Count Bismarck. LAW AND POLICE. DISORDERLY CONDUCT.—CURIOUS CASE. —Daniel Dehee, a salesmaa, residing at No. 12, Prescott Street, White chapel, was charged before Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough Street Police-court, as follows. Joseph Pearn, a constable of the C division, said that at an early hour that morning he was called by the defendant, who,was in the first cab on the rank in the Haymarket, and told by him that the cabman had refused to take him. He asked the cabman why he did so, and he said he would not take the prisoner, as he had been drinking, without he paid him beforehand, and on hls telling him that the prisoner said they were a pair of fools, and it was all a mistake about his being drunk. He told the prisoner he had better get out of the cab, and let him see whether he was drunk or not, and as soon as he did so he fell down. On getting up again the prisoner, who was unmistakeably drunk, collared him, said he would take him to the station for knocking him down, called " Police " at the top of his voice, and made such a disturbance that he was obliged to lock him up. The prisoner said he remembered very little about the matter. Mr. Knox fined him 10s. or seven days. A STUPID YOUTH AND THE " LOAFER."—Daniel Neale, aged 29 years, was brought before Mr. Paget, at the Thames Police Court, charged with stealing a silver watch from the person of Charles Lee Mark, a ships apprentice. The prisoner is a dangerous fellow, who it was stated had been loafing about Poplar for some time, and robbing sailors of their money and watches, and he was in company of a man named Robert Downing, in a public house in Poplar, when they were joined by the prisoner, who drank at the expense of his new acquaintance, and left the public-house with them. They had not proceeded far before Downing left them, and the prosecutor walked with the priscner some distance until they reached a secluded place near Bow Lane, when the prisoner seized the lad by the arm and shoulders and robbed him of his silver watch. The. prisoner was fully committed for trial. HOSPITAL AT CA RLSRUHE.—A German corrrespon dent writes :—"I started back with a shock as I first entered, but then the peaceful calm in the large room where nearly 300 wounded men were lying seemed wonderful. The room was large and quite fresh. Friendly deaconesses went from bed to bed, and visitors were going from one to the other with gifts of cigars and papers. By each bed there was a table with a bunch of flowers—a present from the Grand Duchess. We heard two neighbours discussing the bravery of their own division, an d there was a poor Frenchmen, whose eyes sparkled as we seemed to believe that there were only 40,000 French against 200,000 Germans at the battle of Woerth. A few steps further, and there lay the Turcos, who could hardly speak a word of French, and their faces looked sad and gloomy. A landlady, who had given a dinner to MacMahon three days before the battle of Woerth, spoke very badly of him to the Germans. She said that he had brought his mistress with him, who drove boldly about in an elegant carriage, drawn by four horses. The • Emperor was very much opposed to his doing so, but all the Generals did just what they liked,
