Now published, "FJORD, ISLE, AND TOR." - _ A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IN NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL, AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS. BY EDWARD SPENDER PRICE 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, but designed to give the voyager an intelligent interest in the manners, customs, industries, and institutions of the districts he is expl ring. Poi 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 have 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 remembrancer." -- " 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 proportfon 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 style, 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 Cornwall, it is, nevertheless, a book that will afford the keenest 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 Press.

INNOCENCE IN TROUBLE.—Two low-looking lads, named Patrick Reardon and James Murphy, and Eliza Hind, an unfortunate, were charged before Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough .street Police-court, with loitering, supposed for the purpose of commiting a felony. Sergeant Cole. of the C division detectives, said that shortly before 12 o'clock on Saturday night he saw the three prisoners in Coventry-street, and knowing them as the companions of thieves he watched them, and saw the female p r i soner accost different gentlemen, the male prisoners standing by and joining the female prisoner on her leaving them, and asking her what she had got. With assistance he took the prisoners, who belonged to a class of persons called " trippers-up," into custody. The prisoners all declared themselves as " innocent as unborn babies," the male prisoners speaking of each other as " gentlemen." In answer to Mr. Knox, the sergeant said he believed Hinds was acting under the instructions of the other prisoners. Mr. Knox discharged Hinds, and committed the other prisoners for three months each. STONE THROWING IN HYDE PARK.—Five boys named William Passenger, John Dooley, George Smith, Henry Jones and William Clark, were charged before Mr. Knox at the above court with throwing stones in Hyde Park, and Charles Johnson was charged with throwing a thick stick to the danger of passengers. One of the boys was fined 2s. 6d., and the others ss, each. A LAUNDRESS IN DIFFICULTIES.—Susanna Wyard, a laundress, aged 51 years, was brought up before Mr. Lushington, at the Thames Police-court, charged with stealing a farge quantity of linen, the property of Mr. Henry Findlay, engineer to the commercial Gas Light Company of Stepney. The prosecutor's house-keeper said that she delivered to the prisoner a quan tity of her master's linen to be washed, and it had not been returned. She then identified thirteen sheets, two pairs of drawers, a night dress, and other property produced by a pawnbroker, and the whole of which the prisoner had pawned. The prisoner, who has hitherto maintained a high character for honesty and industry, said that she did not intend to deprive 'Mr. Findlay of his property, but to redeem it as soon as possible. - She was very sorry indeed that she had misappropriated the property of Mr. Findlay. The fact was she had lately taken high-rented premises and in volved herself in a difficulty. To relieve herself of the difficulty she had recourse to pawning Mr. Findlay's linen, and .was extremely sorry it should have happened. Howlett, a detective officer who had charge of the case, believed there were other charges to be preferred against Mrs. Wyard. Mr. Lushington remanded the prisoner until Wednesday. A DRUNKEN CABMAN.—Henry Dyer, a cab-driver, was brought up at the above court, oharged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of his horse and cab. The prisoner admitted he had a little drop to drink, but his horse was perfectly sober. Mr. Lushington said the horse was the most sensible animal of the two. The prisoner's license was clean, and he should fine him 7s. 6d., or five days' imprisonment. THE WESTERN LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.—An appli cation was made yesterday before Mr. Leaman, chief clerk in the chambers of Vice-Chancellor Bacon, to sanction the making of a call of £1 per share on the contributories of th e a b ove society. Mr. Manning' ap peared for the official liquidator, and stated that it seemed from the chief clerk's certificate tliiat the debts and claims against the society amounted. to £18,923, in addition to which there were death claims not yet adjudicated upon to the extent of £39,000, and current policies granted by the society, and others amalgamated with it amount ing to £1,100,000. There were no assets except those unrealized in the hands of the Albert Life Assurance Society. Persons have been settled on the list in respect of .30,081 shares. For the purpose of satisfying the debts of the Society, £21,000 would be required, to provide which the official liquidator porposed that a call of £1 per share should be made. A large number of contributories objected to the call on the ground that it was excessive. One, a Mr. Head, stated. that the call was evident' intended to pay the annuitants, for which £lB,OOO would be sufficient; therefore, the balance was obviously to be appropriated to the costs of liquidation, and he con tended that nearly £3,000 was a too exhorbitant sum for that object. The annuitants asked for their arrears, but the official liquidator proposed to pay them the full amount, which was an act of the grossest injustice. It was also urged that the application for a call was prema ture, and ought not to be acceded to until the order of Lord Justice James to convene meetings of the policy, holders for the purpose of obtaining their sanction or dis approval of the proposed reconstruction of, the Albert- Vith , which the Western had been amalgamated.—The Chief Clerk, however, eventually determined upon making the call ; but granted a case for the decision of the Vice-Chancellor. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. Considerable progress has been made, says the Magnet, with harvest operations since last week. In the southern counties the greater part of the corn has been cut, but owing to the rains which have fallen in most districts not much has, as yet, been carted, whilst very few samples have made their appearance at market. Marigolds and early sown Swedes look well, and the potato crop, gene rally, comes up to expectations. Commenting on the weather and its effects on the crops, the Mark Lane Express says :—" The week commenced with storms, and a quantity of rain fell in some localities, to the aetriment of hay ' making where this was delayed, but there has not been near enough to make much improvement in the meadows, which continue brown and burnt up. The corn harvest, however, having commenced, it is now more for the country's interest that the rain should be delayed a fort night longer. The heavy dews hinder the thrashing of that which is gathered, and the grOund is now so warm that with much wet there would be serious damage. The influence of the war on the corn trade has already been materially felt, Prussia having prohibited the export of corn from all her ports. This has made some holders of Baltic wheat very sanguine, and orders from merchants have come down to their factors not to sell under fully ss. per qr. advance—a price at present certainly not realised. Still, fine American red, the nearest substitute for these qualities, has been sought at is. to 2s. per quarter more money, and there is no telling how rates are now to range. The weather as well as the war may raise them, and :we think farmers, under all these circumstances, with such poor crops of grass and spring corn, will not be likely to throw their chances away by prematurely forcing their produce to market. Let it be remembered that France, one of the belligerents, is very short as to the yield of wheat, THE EXECUTION OF THE DENHAM MURDERER. Yesterday morning, John Owen, aged 38, a blacksmith, was executed within the walls of the County Gaol, at Ayles bury, for the wilful murder of Emmanuel Marshall, at Denham, on the 22nd of May, the evidence leaving no doubt whatever that he also murdered, under circum stances of unparalleled at roc ity, Marshall's mother, wife, sister, and three children. The convict was born at Byfield, near Daventry, Northamptonshir e , where himself and brother were brought up, like their father, as tailors. Owen early ex hibited a dislike for this trade, and was apprenticed to a omith, and eighteen years ago married in his native town a woman some ten years older than himself, whom he always treated, according to her own account, with kindness, but his conduct was not generally good. He was always of a roving disposition, and in consequence of stealing a pistol, he lost the license of a beer-house which he kept, which was the cause of his breaking up his home ; mid he started off on the tramp twelve years ago, his wife accom panying him on the road as far as Atterbury Gate. They parted in an affectionate manner, and he promised to write when he got into work, but she never heard of him again. Since then he has evidently been in half the prisons in England, and that he knew Marshall is evi denced by the fact that he repeatedly stated that there was a man near Uxbridge who had some money, and that he meant to have some of it. It is stated that Marshall had employed him in his capacity as a tramp smith, and that having spoilt some wheels, Marshall had refused to pay him. This would incline one to believe that the murder was prompted by revenge; but it is more probable that he went to the cottage on the Sunday morn ing for the purpose of plunder, that Marshall, hearing him, hastily dressed and came down, and then followed the desperate struggl e i n w hi c h h e was killed. The noise of the scuffice in the smithy aroused the inmates of the house, who descended the stairs one by one, and the culprit finding he was discovered, slaughtered all in almost less time than it takes to narrate; the fact of all their skulls being cleft right down the centre, iudcicating that with with one or other of the terrible weapons produced at the trial, their lives were stamped out with one blow, but that the murderer subsequently hacked them about to make quite sure of his victims. Then he ransacked the house, and bringing the key away, probably meant to return and complete his plunder, but something inter vened to prevent him. Previous to his conviction his father came up from Byfield to see him, but his conduct, notwithstanding his parent was greatly moved, was most repulsive, and the old man left the prison brokenhearted, never to return to it, having in vain attempted to induce his son to make a confession of his guilt. • _ After his condemnation on the 22nd ult he exhibited no feeling whatever, but on the ensuing Sunday, he went to chapel, and was an attentive listener until he came to that part of the service where the Rev. J. B. Bunbury,t.the chaplain of the gaol, asked the prayers of the con gregation " for a prisoner now lying under sentence of death in this gaol," when the convict left the chapel and cried like a child. He soon recovered himself, and be haved in the same brutal manner as he had done before, pursuing a line of conduct which thoroughly disgusted his warders, although used to scenes of this sort. The night before the incident we have just re corded he was exceptionally troublesome. _ He had frequently expressed a determination not to dance in the air if he could help it ; this night he tried all manner of excuses to get out of his cell. He asked the height of the galleyy above his row of cells to the stone floor beneath, and indicated in other ways that he contem plated suicide. Since then a stricter watch has been kept upon him, one warder by day and two by night being his constant attendants, and as nothing could have prevented him rushing up the steps and precipitating himself from them, could he have once escaped his warders, a strong netting was affixed to the entrance to the gallery, so that he might be thrown back upon his keepers. Since then he has given up all thoughts of self-destruction, and contented himself with abusing and confiding in his guard, whom he has entertained with a history of his various incarcerations, boasting proudly of his exploits, and stating that he could get out for a fortnight, there were two (using an abomi nable expression) he would like to murder ; and there is, we fear, little doubt, from his brutal conversation, that this is not the first murder in which he has been engaged. Among other things he has frequently told his warder that he'd make his mother a liar, for she'd always said he would die in his shoes, but he'd kick them off " just before the job." During all the time the convict has eaten and drunk heartily, but his sleep has been very restless. He has never lain quiet on his pallet more than two hours at a time, and'then jumping up he would commence whistling, dancing, and singing until the fit passed off, when he would lie down again. He frequently talked about the murders, and declared he never perpetrated the crimes, but he knew who did. Whenever he was asked however, to account for his blood-stained clothes being in Marshall's house, he commenced cursing . and swearing. He has paid no heed whatever, to the ministrations of the chaplain, whom he at last put off by saying he was a Catholic. A priest named Blackwell, was then procured from Wolverton, but he could make no • im pression upon him, the , convict laughing at the notion of a future state. A Mr. Hunt, a local preacher and blacksmith, from Weldan, near Aylesbury seems to have made some impressions on him it seems, from his wife having formerly kept company with Owen's brother, who has left the country. After the visit of Mr. and Mrs. Hunt he wrote a letter to his wife expressing his sorrow for leaving her and asking her forgiveness, and desiring to see her. She accord ingly reached Aylesbury on Thursday, but he only reproached her with having caused him to leave her. In a fit of remorse he said she might come again next day, when his conduct was much altered, and he cried like a child and asked her forgive ness. She endeavoured to draw a confession from him, but he declared that he was innocent. On Friday he had grown much quieter, and gave her a missal which the Catholic priest had left him, inscribed to his wife "from her affectionate husband John Owen." On Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Hunt, and his niece and her husband were constant in their ministrations upon him, as well as the Independent and Primitive Methodist preachers of Aylesbury. He had now become somewhat sobered down, asked where the soul went after it left the body, and frequently cried and prayed with his visitors, stating that he was ready to die, and hoped he was going to a better world, but when the murder was touched upon steadily declared his innocence. His friends bade him an affectionate farewell at night. _ Before lying down to sleep one of his guard again got him to repeat a few words of prayer. He passed a good night and awoke at 20 minutes past three, when he walked round his cell some time, and then wrote three letters to his friends, having sent six away the night before. At six he made a hearty breakfast of a pint and a half of tea, a 21b. loaf, and two plates of meat. His conduct was still quiet and occasionally nervous, but in the main he may be said to have preserved his bravado to the end, and died without repenting of his dreadful crimes. He had seen Calcraft walking in the garden, yesterday, and on leaving his cell shook hands with him, and, told him to do his duty. During the process of pinioning he was quite quiet, and walked out, into the yard with a firm step, giving a hasty glance on either side, as if watching an opportunity to escape his doom. When told which way to go he raised his eyes, and as he ascended the first step of the scaffold seemed to see the beam for the first time, and lowered his eyes, but ascended the scaffold with the half military step which has charac terised him all through, and stood firmly under the. beam. bringing his legs close together for the adjustment of' the strap in the same soldierly manner. After the white cal) had been put over his head, he said, " I want to say something," and on its being removed turned to the as sembled people and said, "Friends, I want to address a few words to you ;" then, after a moment's hesitation, " I am going to die for the wilful murder of Charles Mar shall, no, Charles—l forget his name—Marshall, at Denham, but lam innocent." In the next instant the cap was readjusted, and at seven minutes past eight the bolt was withdrawn. There was a slight twitch ing of the muscles for two minutes, and then all was over. A black flag was hoisted on the prison wall simultaneously With the fall of the drop, intimating to the 500 or 600 assembled outside that the last sentence of the law hitd . been carried into effect. The body was cut dtrwai at mine o'clock, and the inquest. was held shorth afterwards. COombes, through whose instrumentality t 4 culprit was brought to justice, walked all the, way Lim 'Oxbridge, and obtained the special permission of Mr. Tyndal, at the last minute, to see the execution. THE YACHT RACE. The national pride was wounded yesterday afternoon when the Royal Yacht signal, floating from the western flagstaff of the City Hall, gave notice of the result of the international race, which for the last two days has engrossed even more of public attention than the Franco-German war. There had been from the first a general confidence in the: . victory of the Dauntless. The superiority of America in the building and management of fast-sailing ' craft was supposed to be conceded by all the world. Since that famous little schooner yacht now cruising under Commander Meade in New York Bay crossed the ocean nineteen years ago, and carried off the the Queen's Cup at the Cowes Regatta, we have never believed that any nation could beat us in this kind of marine architecture. The recent victories of the Sappho increased our confidence ; and when Mr. Ben nett, with one of the most perfect yachts ever built in the United States, and one of the most skil ful sailing-masters who ever crossed the Atlantic, proposed this great ocean race, we felt that our credit was in safe hands, and had our laurels all ready to crown him when he should sail victorious into port. And the Cambria beat us after all ! Well, despite our disappoint ment and surprise, we give Mr. Ashbury a cordial welcome, and our congratulations upon his success are not the less sincere because they are mingled with regret for our own defeat. It has been a gallant race, in which the victor deserves all the glory that the most enthusiastic yachtsman will give him ; a race in which each party has reason to be proud of its antagonist. There are many accidents that in a three-weeks' ocean voyage might give a victory to the in ferior vessel. The Cambria and. Dauntless followed widely different courses. The winds and currents which favoured the one might retard the other. The track chosen by Captain Samuels may have been by all rules of seamanship the most promising, and yet, as no man can foretell the weather, it may have actually proved the worst. The art of navigation is always more or less a calculation of chances, and the best calculations are sometimes at fault. We cannot therefore pronounce, from the mere result of such a close race as this, that the Cambria is the better vessel of the two ; and if the Dauntless comes into port' two hours later than her antagonist, our pride in the crack vessel of the American yacht squadron is not thereby sensibly lessened. We have beeu fairly and honourably beaten. Both vessels have done themselves credit. We give full credit to the victor; but we give credit also, in almost equal measure, to the van quished. When the Englishmen beat our college students in the Cambridge boat race we accepted the defeat with all frankness, and they celebrated their victory with a generous and kindly feeling which we shall not soon forget. Now they have beaten us again, and we hope our amateur sailors will give them full credit for their victory, and treat them with all possible hospitality and honour. The Cambria has yet to contend with the New York squadron for the possession of the trophy which the America carried away from Cowes in 1851. We hope she may be beaten ; but beaten or victo rious we hope her owner may carry away with him a pleasant recollection of the frankness good temper , and generous sentiments of American yachtsmen. —New York Tribune, July 28. NEUTRALITY. Neutral nations ought to be prepared to bear patiently ' the misrepresentations and gibes of belligerents. More especially is England, as a military depot, exposed to abuse and misconception, though she cannot deny that belligerents are sometimes fully justified in the charges made against her. The North German Correspondent is now an instructive, aye, and an amusing paper to read, however terrible are the events it discusses. It is prin cipally composed of translations from German journals of every State from Vienna to Hanover, and lately its thunder has been directed against England and her fraudulent" neutrality. In fact, Germany keeps one of her two eyes fixed upon England, and an uproar follows the slightest move made by the enemy within her borders. The French Emperor is represented as bent on designs of aggrandisement, on extending the boundaries of France to the Rhine, including Belgium. The Eng lish are represented as a great and brave people led by hares ; as so infatuated by the spirit of gain as to supply the Emperor with what he requires to subdue Germany, when having swallowed up the country to the Rhine, he will be in a position to invade England herself. " hile affecting neutrality," says this organ of Count Bismarck, " England allows her territory to become the base of ope rations against the coasts of North Germany—a French arsenal, magazine, stable, for cartridges, coals, and horses." And we are told, it 'adds, with cynical irony, that Germany can buy in the same market. " Let her abandon a system of neutrality which is making her name a synonym for grasping cupidity and short-sighted cove tousness, nor forget that, before the year expires, she may have to expend millions of treasure and thou sands of lives to reverse, on the plains of Bel gium, the victory she now aids France to gain." Pursuing the same strain, the North German Gazette is unable to comprehend Lord Granville's statement, that both belligerents complain of England. Is it possible, it asks, that France requires from England other favours than this pretended neutrality gives her ? The question put by a German journal it declares to be in. everybody's month—ls England really anxious to have another Alabama difficulty on her hands ?The Weser-Zietung con trasts the policy of 1800 with that of 1870. Then English men did not shrink from a twenty years' war, and spent 4,000,000,000 thalers to prevent what is once more attempted. Sound state reasons existed for that course, and the only difference which now favours England is the existence of a united and powerful Germany. In j what position, it asks, would England find herself if Ger many were defeated ?—with Ireland behind, the United States waiting for a day of reckoning, and France the ruler of the Continent, in possession of an army which England cannot oppose, and of a fleet that lies prepared for action almost withm sight of the British coast? The Cologne Gazette, in discussing England and Belgium, also reverts to the times when the Manchester party, intent upon cotton-spinning alone, formed but a small minority in England—an heroic period compared with the present, when England merely shrugs her shoulders, and says, "Help yourselves," while formerly she would have stepped into the arena. It ridicules the idea of sustaining. Belgium with 25,000 men, when Napoleon would only make his attack after the 'defeat of Germany. Had England been what it once was the wanton breach of peace would not have occurred. Even now the naval power of England, united to the military forces of Germany, which Belgium would then enthusiastically join, might in a few weeks restore peace to the world. But England shrugs its shoulders, and the lips once so ' proud only utter its favourite saying May God defend the right." The Gazette regrets to see the country Germans so loved play the petty, sometimes contemptible, part it does in modern history. " The nation, 'which was once so justly proud of its manly bearing, now looks at a didance uncommonly like an old woman." A telegram fom New York received in Berlin, July 27, mentions that, ' " with the exception of the Irish, nearly all America is in favour of Germany. Great indignation is felt at the insidious neutrality of the English Government, which is increased bitterness." to revive the Al a b ama ques ti on w ith bitterness." Germany, however, may be reassured, as England, taught by a fatal experience, has passed an Act which Sir Robert Collier says, will go beyond any statute law passed iu any country for the purpose of enforcing neutrality ;" and - public opinion in England has determined that it shall be rigidly enforced. But England must not imagine that she can escape by a mere enact ment, for she has the disadvantage of possessing in per fection the stores most necessary for belligerents; and there are thousands ready for the sake of gain to run any risk, while the risk to their country is to them a trifling affair. Poor England has to answer for the greed of some of her children ; and it was not a gain to her that the Lair& launched the Alabama ; nor did she get anything by any other infraction of neutrality. To protect herself she is justified in exacting to the utmost her neutrality o 4 the part of her citizens ; the gain being the trader's, the loss that of the country, while the latter is out of all pro portion greater than the former. It is, however, evident that what Germany wants is somethingmore than neutrality —a direct interference; in fact a coalition against the Empei. ror. The Alabama difficulty alluded to is a reason why Eng land should not interfere; yet both the German and some American papers, such as the New York Herald, in referring to it, either urge or predict that interference. While de nouncing England's greed, if the Philadelphia correspon dent of the Times is to be taken as an authority, America rejoices with unfeigned joy at the fine trading prospect opened to her by the war, for what is greed with one coun try is legitimate commerce with the other. And it is amusing to go back to the Crimean War and notice the attitude then assumed by Prussia, the base whence Russia derived her supplies. What was an honest gain at that time, is now "fraudulent neutrality," and England was then an unreasonable belligerent, though at present " a synonym for grasping cupidity and shortsighted covetous ness." Yet there is nothing more natural than the atti tude assumed by Germany, for the position between a belligerent fighting for existence, and a neutral driving a profitable - trade from the necessities arising out of the war which threatens another with destruction is as wide apart as the Poles. One Would suppose, says a German paper, to hear the English talk, that we were just so many par tridges to be shot—and that is just it. No nation can realise the feelings of ano th er na ti on th us i nva d e d . Indeed, - such is the wiekedneSs of human nature, that the exciting military events give to those who see no danger to' themselves a positive pleasure, the difference •as the New York Nation puts it, whether we hunt the tiger or the tiger hunts us. It is impossible for a nation, under such cir cumstances, to be just ; but it ought to do its best, and distrust its own judgment. We do not hesitate to assert that the Republic has not yet done justice to England during the Civil war, and the difficulties of her position, or it would not have nursed so tenaciously as it has the Alabama, and other grievances but would have accepted the reparation England has been prepared to offer.— Anglo-Amer ican Times. The excitement about the Ocean Yacht Race in this city has for the day quite eclipsed the excitement about the European war ; and it was somewhat refreshing, too, a,s a change of the public mind from the grim vis age , of war to the gentle face of peace, and a gallant contest between two yachts, .each bearing the flag of a mighty, nation, and both representing a peaceful riyalry for the ohampionship of the seas.—New York. Herat4, THE PEOPLES OF EUROPE AND THE GREAT WAR. To and fro the tide of opinion sways, from side to side, in reference to the right and the strength of this Power or of that, in the terrible conflict which threatens to cover Christendom with blood and ashes. The number of the armies is counted, the array of fleets is given in elaborate detail, and the ability of the leaders and the captains is extolled in endless articles. France, Prussia, England, Russia, Italy, &c., are mentioned confidently as undivided units of strength. But as yet no one in the press of Europe or America has be thought him, or at least has expressed the thought, that there may somewhere beneath the surface reside a vast, silent, suffering multitude of men to whom the marching and countermarching of these hosts mean ruin, misery, and death. What has the individual in either nation embattled against the other to charge upon 'the poor working man or peasant who lives and toils beyond the dividing frontier ? He is a brother in ' poverty, and in oppression, perhaps, with the conscript who is suddenly called from his humble hearth to face bayonet and bullet for a cause he does not comprehend, and to the benefit of men who have been the masters of him and of his kindred before him for hundreds of years. Peace is the gospel of civilisation and progress, and war is the doctrine of every violence and every vice. A century ago this was not comprehended, but to-day of the one hundred and fifty millions of human beings who people Europe the vast majority, in accepting the general truths of the religion of Christ and receiving the rudiments of knowledge, have learned to look upward for a higher glory than to manure the soil for the ambitious satisfaction of a prince, and to a nobler end of life than the memory of wounds and slaughter received by their comrades or inflicted upon their antagonists. This is the idea that pervades the working masses—the true bone and sinew—of Europe. Emperors and kings issue pompous orders from their palaces and bodies of armed soldiery advance to the field of death ; but the million—the mass of suffering, toiling men remember that on the East and on the West they have only brethren labouring and praying like themselves. This is the inner tone that we begin to discover already in the great diapason of war that sounds in our ears from beyond the Atlantic. At Strasburg, at Cologne, at Geneva in Switzerland, at Florence and Milan in Italy the popular party, as contradistinguished from the Court and the army, has spoken. When, as early as 1851, M. Remieu predicted the coming of the " Red Spectre," he feared the terrific outburst of revolutionary passion that then threatened to overthrow all forms of order in Europe. But the rise of Napoleon 111. and his military government conjured the ghost and laid it with the welcome formula, " The empire is peace." Peace alone was the safety, an only with peace could the old systems hope for any lingering permanence. But now it has been shewn by war after war, culminating at last in a catastrophe that has no better pretext than the succes sion to a discarded crown •in a country of but third or fourth rate importance in the world, and that while the monarchical system endures and standing armies are tole rated there is no guarantee against a sudden deluge of blood. The only rainbow in the sky to the nations of the earth is seen in the colours of the republic, one and universal. This is a mighty lesson, and at the hour while we write the peoples of the Eastern hemis phere watch impatiently for the moment when by mutual defeats the iron rod wielded by either hand of armed power shall be worn and broken. Every necessary of life made costlier the very finger of Providence, by its shorten ing bomities in the harvest field and its burning heats on land and sea, pointing to a period of intense tribulation, how shall the people exult in mutual slaughter ? The voice of the humble Ascends to the throne of God for rescue from this endless scourge. The prayers of all good men go up incessantly for peace and for the banishment of the causes and instruments of war. How shall the most venerable and most en lightened nations of the world. continue this bloody orgie while on the hither borders of the ocean there is a spectacle of strength, prosperity, and happiness with liberty, and without the sword, continually offered to their gaze ? This war, with its accumulated horrors, will do more to utterly disgust men with the grim Moloch that has so long deluded and trampled on them, and its memories will more incline them to the cause of repub licanism, and, we believe, of final truth and peace among nations, than any event since the Crucifixion.— Hew York Herald. THE WAR AND ITS CAUSES. Napoleon and Bismarck could not agree as to the division of the countries along the Rhine—how much should be seized and incorporated into France, and how much should be seized and absorbed by Prussia. This comes out in two ways—first, by the publication in the London Times of what purports to be a sketch of a secret treaty proposed by France to Prussia for a division of the Rhenish country between them ; and, second, by the disclosure of the substance of a conversation said to have been held recently between the French Em peror and the Paris correspondent of the Lon don Telegraph, in which Prussia is charged with asking • " too much and too soon." The alleged Secret Treaty is put forth as a proposition of France to Prussia, in which the former agrees to recog nise the reeent acquisitions of Prussia, and to acquiesce in. the consolidation of the States of South Germany with the North German Union, whilst Prussia is to agree to the acquisition of Luxembourg by France, and to lend her assistance to France in the absorption of Belgium. Another article of this alleged secret proposition is an alliance, offensive and defensive, between France and Prussia. This, although it comes before the eyes of the world through the leading English journal, is probably the Berlin version of what occurred in these negotiations. The French version, which is that given by the London Telegraph, admits that Napoleon demanded Luxembourg in 1866 as an equivalent for French neutrality in the war between Prussia and Austria, but that Bismarck demanded Holland as a further equivalent for Prussia. This the French Emperor according to the Telegraph's correspondent, refused, with the declaration that he would consider any attack upon the independence of Holland by Prussia as a declaration of war. The fact of this interview by the Telegraph's correspondent seems to be as well vouched as the " Secret Treaty " is by the London Times. Here, then, we have the two ablest, most crafty, and most powerful schemers of Europe, charged wirh secret negotiations looking to an agreement to plunder and annihilate two unoffending neighbouring nations, and the sharing of their territory between them ; and each of them, after the plot failed, taking the high moral ground of having rejected the scheme. The truth is mbst likely to be found midway between these two statements. No one who is familiar with the French Emperor, the ambition and traditions of his family, and the ancient and constant claim of the French people for the Rhine as their north-eastern frontier—and no one who understands the grand and far-sweeping policy marked out for Prussia by Bismarck, and who remembers how remorselessly it has thus far been carried out in prac dee, by the absorption and annihilation of the feeble States that stood in the way of his policy—can be deceived by the protestations on either side, that these secret negotiations fell through because Napoleon felt outraged, by the threat against the independence of Holland, or because Bismarck refused on account of regard for Belgium. That such negotiations were on foot, and that there was a great deal of consideration of them, is more than likely ; and it is equally probable that they fell through, because " the high contracting parties "'could not agree upon a mutually satisfactory division of the spoils. Under the light of these disclosures, what wretched stuff was all the fuss and indignation and virtue and national dignity affected on both sides as growing out of the candi dature of the poor little Hohenzollern Prince, and the slight offered to Count Bendetti in the garden at Ems, and the nice distinctions drawn by King William between his duty to disavow the Hohenzollern affair as head of the family, and his refusal to do it as King of Prussia ! Mat miserably petty pretexts for the gigantic war they knew they were about to wage on other grounds ! One of them, in pursuance of long-cherished ambition .and tradition going back far beyond the time of the Bonapartes, desired to move its frontier to the Rhine by the seizure of the territory of at least three friendly nations, and the other, in the promotion of a new and aggrandizing policy, desired to absorb all the territory of another friendly power lying between its present frontier and the North'•Sea. Holland and Belgium were to be the two principal victims. Whilst they were quietly pursuing their usual course, devoted to industry, com merce, and the civilizing influences of our day, abstaining from any meddlesome interference with their neighbours, content to be peaceful and useful, with no improper am bitions, two eminently useful, worthy and inoffensive nations, those two master intriguers, Napoleon and Bis marck, were plotting their annihilation as nations, and their reduction to mere make-weights in " the balance of power."—Philadelphia Ledger.
