He shall found no dynasty : he shall wear no durable Crown. But in the midst of deeds of blood and slaughter, with affrighted Europe trembling beneath the weight of his daring martial hosts, he descends beneath the heavy hand of Fate ; and FALLS TO RISE NO MORE, with none to mourn him, none to inherit his renown, none to reeord his good deeds, and none to lament his destruction." - J.

"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. Foi intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spenders 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 iii 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." Sun 4 t ' 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 1 curist 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 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.

Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature ; also a, description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of Appearance, and Localities where found.

The work is also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at ls. 6d. each part. Part X. new ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had. "We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and publication of this magnificent work."—Field. "Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study thi s wor k will be invaluable . ' Telegraph. "It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species, and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantlges over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth, with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain =Fly rare specimens."—Standard. _ _ 'The completion of Mr. Newman' work on the British Moths is a benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste fnlly got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years' earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento mologist deservedly stands h:gh. . . We notice also with satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English. With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour to render them life-like. . . . . We unhesitatingly commend this volume to our readers. We regard it as *very useful addition to our library." Land and TValer, Oct. 9. London—W. TWEEDIE. 337. Strand. W.O.

The Roman police have redoubled their vigilance respecting the coming and going of,ltalian travellers, even of those who only pass through the Pontifical States and do not alight at Rome unless for refreshment. They are watched into the refreshment-room, and no communica tion with them is permitted. Two steam vessels built at Toulon for the Pontifical Government inspect the Tiber day and night. That part of the river which is between the fort St. Angelo and the Abattoir is the object of the closest scrutiny. At night all private vessels must be moored to' the Rifetta, quay at the side of the town on the left bank of the river. The patrols examine the fields that stretch along the right bank at all hours of the night. Fifty Legionaries and ten French Zouaves,who were permitted by General Kauzlerto return to France be fore their time had expired, because they insisted on going to fight for their invaded country, have *left Rome. All the French soldiers of the Papal army who belong to the class of 1870 are recalled to France. The Minister of War has telegraphed orders to all the garrisons to forward to Rome all the men included by this law whether or no they have completed their engagements, and notwithstanding the dispensation granted by Marshal Lebeeuf, L'qsservatore continues to give a pretty faithful account of the incidents of the war. The statement is confirmed that Cardinal Antonelli sent it a severe warn ing on the representation of M. de Banneville. THE CONTINENTAL WINE COMPANY. WINE AND SPIRIT MERCHANTS.

It is essentially on account of the fine 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 Anisterdam, and is so universally preferred in all European markets.

WORCESTERSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. The annual show of this society was opened at Kidder minster on Tuesday, and prizes to the amount of £845, open to all England, were competed for. The prizes were given for horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, imple ments, and miscellaneous articles, and there was also a horticultural exhibition, for which a liberal list of prizes was provided. The entries were less numerous than last year, but the show as a whole was of a high class. The Hereford cattle were short in number, which is partly accounted for by a good number having been bought for exportation at the Oxford show. A prize of £2O for the best animal in the various Hereford classes was awarded to Mr. T. Rogers of Coxall, Brampton Bryan. The short-horn beasts included some fine beasts, and for the best bull in the short horn classes a prize of £25 was awarded toa three-yea r - o ld ex hibi te d b y L or d S u d e l ey. Of sheep the Leicesters were small in number, and were a rather poor competition. The shearling rams in the next class, long-woolled ones (not being Leicesters), were particu larly good; but the theaves and ewes in this class were less meritorious. The Sbropshires were a fine show, many of the best breeders being represented. There was a great uniformity in all the animals shown, a qualification which has been wanting at some recent shows, not excluding the Royal. The cross-breds were very indifferent, both in numbers and character. The horses shown included some remarkably fine creatures. The first prize for stallion cart horses was awarded to a splendid cart stallion exhibited by Mr. W. Wynn, of Cranhill Leys, Alcester. It has already taken nine first prizes at various shows. The Earl of Coventry carried off the first prize of £2O forthorough-bred stallions. Mr. W. Haywood, Redditch, took the first prize of £25 for hunters equal to 14 stone. For hunters, irrespective of weight, the first prize of £25 was awarded to Mr. Cotk, of Taddington, Winchcomb. The first prize of £l5 for the most useful collection of agricultural implements was awarded to Messrs. Larkworthy, of Worcester. The weather was very favourable, and for the first day there was a fair attendance. 1807 AND 1870. "It will be our lot to exhibit Prussia as it were in her last agonies, and to' record the dying confessions of her misguided statesmen," said a writer in the Quarterly Review for July, 1815. He was reviewing Grentz's " Journal of the Last Fourteen Days of the Prussian Monarchy." As we turn over the yellow leaves of an essay which, written when the resuscitation of that Power was but a recent event, ably epitomised the long history of its disasters, the mind draws an involuntary comparisoil between the Prussia of 1807 and of 1870. The battle of Jena had just laid her prostrate at the feet of Napoleon. His troops had virtually annihilated her army, had occupied her cities, and had made her feel all the bitterness of a conquest for which the vacillation of her King and the incompetence of her generals were alone to blame.. Tempted by the prospect of Austria's humilia tion to remain in a state of friendly neutrality toward France, Frederick William 111. had, in spite of the en treaties of his people, his statesmen, and his Queen, that he should declare in favour of Russia and -Austria, ac cepted from Bonaparte the bribe of Hanover, But, however well this pleased the King, he was destined to find that he could not defy the • popular feeling with impunity. The degra dation of French vassalage, and the series of insults to which Bonaparte subjected them, roused the entire nation ; and the King, who had delayed action while it might have availed in concert with other Powers, was forced by his—subjects intofdeclaring war, single-handed, against the victor of Austerlitz. The reason given by the Marquis Lucchesini, Prussian Minister at Paris, just before the rupture occurred, demonstrated the contempt into which his Government had fallen. " The character of Prussia was," he says, "so completely gone that it was vain to attempt any negotiation with the other States of Europe without some strong demonstration of sincerity on the part of the Prussian Cabinet ; and that could only be shewn by having recourse in the outset to that expedient with which it would have been desirable to conclude, viz., a recurrence to arms." Thus compelled to take action, the Prussian King found himself within a few months reduced to the possession of a single city and a few square miles of territory, and the star of the House of Branderburgh had, to all appearance, set for ever. But the Prussia which suffered the disastrous hu miliation terininating in the peace of Tilsit was thence- forward destined to enter upon a career of progress such as has but few parallels in the annals of European States. With a spirit worthy of the descendants of those whom the Great Frederick had so often led to victory, a feeling of patriotism, and, consequently, of hostility to French influence, arose throughout all Germany, sufficiently strong to unite in the ties of common interest its various States. Thanks to the far-sighted statesmen who controlled her destinies,. Prussia had by the year 1813 resumed her place as one of the " Great Powers " of Europe, and an effective army of nearly 100,000 men was ready to co-operate with the allies in withstanding the power of Na poleon. Into the history of the eventful period which followed, terminating in the British and Prus sian victory of Waterloo, it is unnecessary to enter. From the proclamation of peace in 1815 until the Schleswig-Holstein question again saw her forces in the field, the interval of nearly forty years was judiciously employed in perfecting that system of military service which, originated by Frederick William 1., improved by Frederick the Great, and, disorganised during her time of reverse, remodelled by the genius of her great Ministers, Stein and Scharnhorst, is the undoubted source of Prussia's late successes. It furnished the material which needed but the guiding hand of statesmanship to render it for midable. Without this it was but as the powder in the magazine, the cannon in the arsenal—a gigantic weapon of offence if skilfully used, but otherwise an expensive and inert body of warlike materiel. The Prussian 'mili tary system, codified by the "Law of 3rd September, 1814," has been often enlarged upon, but seldom epito mised ; and not one-half of those who peruse with unfailing interest the accounts daily published of the great war at this moment convulsing Europe have any clear conception of even its general provisions. The whole of Prussia proper was, in 1733. divided by Frederick William I. into districts, each of which was bound to maintain • the effective strength of a regiment. This was the basis of the Landwehr system, improved by Frederick the Great so as to create a miniature but complete army within each province. The amended scheme of 1814 established four bodies, which comprised : 1, a standing army; 2, a Landwehr of the first call ; 3, a Landwehr of the second call ; and, 4, the Landsturm. The standing army was to consist of volunteers of two classes, and of a sufficient number of the youth of the nation, called out between the ages of 21 and 25, a service of from one to three years being compulsory. The Landwehr of the first call was a militia liable to serve either at home or abroad, in case of war, but in peace time compelled only to un dergo such exercise as was necessary for training. It was composed of all ycung men between the ages of twenty-one and twenty-six not serving in the regular a rmy, of volunteers trained in the light battalions, and of the rest of the population up to their thirty-second year, not having completed twelve years service. The Land wehr of the second call consisted of all who had left the army and the first call, and all other able-bodied men up to forty years of age; while the Landstrum include all men not otherwise al lotted up to their fiftieth year, all who had completed Landwehr service, as well as all youths able to carry arms of the age of seventeen. These latter are called out only when the province in which they reside is actually threatened—an eventuality which has never arisen since their organisation. With so all-embracing a scheme of service, applied as it now is to all those States recently absorbed by Prussia, her immense military power is easily understood. Less oppressive, or at all events more popular, than the French conscription, owing possibly to its uni versality and the general impossibility of providing sub stitutes, it is more efficient, and seems to appeal more successfully to the patriotic instincts of the people. A comparison of Prussia as she was in 1807, and Prussia as she is in 1870, reflects immense credit upon the adminis trative ability of her military authorities, impracticable as some details of her system would be under other forms of Government. And this remark holds good, quite irrespective of the result of the present conflict-1V ew Yovlc Times. The directors of the Bank of FranCo have, it is said, determined to remove a large portion of their reserve of bullion to one of the western seaports, Brest or Havre, for safety. Many foreign bankers have already transferred securities, plate. and other portable effects to London. The Hon. William Brodrick having succeeded to the peerage by the death of Lord Midleton, there is a vacancy in the representation of Mid-Surrey. This vacancy will be in all probability filled by the election of another Conservative, as a good candidate is ready to come forward at the proper time.—Globe. A. LIVING WORTH HAVING.—The Rev.

The stock markets have been very quiet to-day, the at tention of dealers having been absorbed by the settlement of the account, which has been completed to-day. It is worthy of note, however, that the war news has little in fluence upon prices —a significant fact, as shewing the opinion held in commercial circles of the present political situation. Certainly the news from the the seat of war has not recently been of a character either to inspire complete confidence or to create distrust, but it is somewhat remarkable that the markets here should shews signs of continuous improvement in the face of increasing flatness at Paris. It is scarcely possible that the bonds held in France have already been disposed of, but it would rather appear that this class of security is likely to become more and more in request on account of their convenient portability in these troublesome times. To-day the markets opened quietly and the fluctuations in value were chiefly to be traced to the transactions in connection with the account. The settlement has gone off without mishap, and does not appear to have been by any means a heavy one. Consols opened at 91f, 91k, and closed at 92, 92k, both for money and the account. Reduced and New Three per Cents. left off at 92, 924 ; Bank stock at 233, 235 ; India Five per Cents. at 1091, 1101 ; India Bonds at 125., 16s. prem. ; Exchequer bills at Is. to 6s. prem. Colonial Government securities closed as last quoted, the inquiries having been limited in number and extent. In the market for home railway stocks a fair amount of activity has prevailed. It will be observed that the leading lines are new quoted ex dividend. Attention has been chiefly directed to Great Eastern and London and North Western, which have advanced /, the last prices being 35/, 35a, and 125 1251 ex div. respectively. Metro politan left off at 63k, 63k, Midland 123 k 124/, ex div., and North-Eastern Consuls, at 136 k, 137/ ex -div. The last price for South-Eastern was 68/, 68/ ex div. Foreign Railway shares have been very inactive. Great Luxemburg have been dealt in at 11 ; Lemberg-Czerno witz, at 16/ ; and Lombardo-Venetian, at 15k. Quotations for French lines are quite nominal. American and Canadian lines shew no change in value Erie shares are 17, 17i ; Illinois Central, 1061, 1071; Grand Trunk of Canada, 121, 13i ; and Great Western of Canada, 13i, 14/. The market for foreign bonds has been firm throughout the day, though not active. Brazilian of 1865, Chilian of 1870, Egyptian of 1862 and 1864, have advanced 1 ; Egyp tian of 1868, 1-; Mexican and Spanish, / ; and Italian Five per Cents., / 2 -. Large transactions have taken place in both Turkish and Egyptian stocks. United States Bonds remain unchanged at 881 to 882, for the 1862, and 87/ to 88 for the 1865 issue. The dealings in Joint Stock Bank shares have been much restricted, a few transactions for investment only having been recorded. Prices remain without change. Alliance shares have sold at 12 ; ; Imperial Ottoman, at 11R to 111; London Chartered of Australia, 23 ; London Joint Stock, 33. Telegraph shares are without fluctuation, the sales having been very limited. Anglo-Mediterranean left off at 131 to 132 ; British India, 71 to 7/ ; Panama, 4to 3 dis ; and French Cables, at 141. In the miscellaneous market sales of the 11 hymney Iron Works have been made at 32/ to 33 ; Telegraph Construction at 24 to 242 ; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 43/ ; Hudson's Bay, 81 ; Berlin Waterworks, 14. The bullion operations at the Bank of England to-day consisted of the receipt of £95,000 in specie. The liquidation of the late Birmingham Banking Company has now been nearly completed. Warrants have been issued to the shareholder creditors, whose divi dends have hitherto been withheld, for the full amount of their debts, and the interest account only now remains to be adjusted. The directors of the Bank of France have determined to remove a large portion of their reserve of bullion to one of the western seaports, Brest or Havre, for safety. Large quantities of plate and valuables of all kinds have already been sent forwards to London. It is now nearly certain that the mails through Paris will be suspended, and in view of that event the English post-office authorities have communicated with the French post-office authorities on the subject. It would only ap pear reasonable that some other route should be adopted while the interruption lasts, but the assurance has been received from the French authorities that the delay to the mails will be as little as circumstances will permit. The directors of the Glasgow and South-Western Rail way Company have announced that the accounts shew a balance sufficient to pay a dividend at the rate of 5i per cent. on the ordinary stock, carrying forward £5,610, includiding £4,185 brought forward. At an extraordinary general meeting of the Mersey Steel and Iron Company (Limited), a resolution was adopted reducing the capital t 01240,000, of which £40,000 has yet to be called up. The original capital was £400,000. The half-yearly meeting of the Tower Subway Company was held yesterday, when the director's report was adopted. It appears that there is still an estimated expenditure of £5,500 on capital account, caused by the company having to pay for the purchase of land instead of a nominal rent charge. The working of the Subway continues satisfactory. The usual dividend of 14s. (or 10 per cent. per annum) has been agreed to by the proprietors of the General Steam Navigation Company. The liquidators of the Joint Stock Discount Company (Limited) are now prepared to pay the balance of the amounts due to the creditors, with interest to the 31st instant, less the amount of discount agreed to for prompt payment. The Manchester Guardian has the following :—The failure of Mr. Edmund Thomson, cloth commission agent, of Mosley-street, Manchester, has been announced. At a meeting of the creditors of Messrs. James Thelfall and Son, cotton spinners, of Preston, held at Liverpool, the liabilitios were announced at £107,000, a considerable por tion of which is covered by securities. A proposition was made to pay 7s. 6d. in the pound to unsecured creditors, but the consideration of the matter was left to an adjourned meeting to be held at an early date The traffic return of the North Eastern Railway for the week ending August 27th, shews an increase of £4,158 on the corresponding week of last year.
