"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 'Ting. Fos intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spendes 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, lad 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 " Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is a very delightful little book.

There 'ls 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 statement*_ prove the practical and hardworking man of letters."—Man chester Courier.

So I n e light is thrown upon the question which is puz ng the War O ffi ce and alarming the public as to the num er pf serviceable arms in store, by the publication of the nal accounts of the several manufacturing esta blish ents under the War Department for the year 1868 9. The rate of progress made in the manufacture of nil during the last two years is significant. At t e Royal Gun Factories, Woolwich Arsenal, there were the fl excej pros( 294-cannon made, at a total cost of £210,853, in rat piar; but all these muzzle-loading guns, with the tion of , one 7-pounder, were ordered befo re the nt Government came into office. They consisted of 66 0-inch wrought-iron 12-ton . guns ; 62 7-inch 6i-- tons; 50 7-inch 7 tons ; 40 9-inch 12 tons ; 31 8-inch 9-tons ; and others of smaller calibre. At the Royal Ordnance Factories, Portsmouth, only £4,373 was spent int all in manufacturing guns ; 21,184. for conversions, alterations, &c., and £7,784 for re pait.l Coming to small arms, we. find Chat at Enfield: • Small Arms Factory there was £186,491: expended on, the yroduction of arms in the year ended March 31st last year, and these included 11,300 smooth-bore muskets, 27,308 rifles pattern 53 converted breechloaders on Snider's principle; 7,578 short rifles so converted, and 32,400 naval rifles also so converted. Besides these, 22,340 artillery carbines were converted to breechloaders on Snider's principle, and 2,164 cavalry carbines. There appear also to have been 500 sergeants' smooth bore, fusils manufactured ; but only six of Martini- Ilenbr's, and these were specially done for experi mental purposes, at a cost of £4B 10s. each. Something like £20,000 was absorbed in the main tenance of the Royal Small Arms Factory in Birming ham in the year under review, but it does not appear that, a single rifle was manufactured or converted. A few muskets, carbines, and pistols were repaired, rest eked, and finished, and a few dozen swords and bayonets were furbished up, but virtually this factory was it a standstill through the entire year, and the Par liamentary vote does not justify the conclusion that auy more activity was visible in this factory in the year lately closed. Altogether not more than £3,540 was expended in labour i n th e f a ctory in the year. At the Gun Wharf, Devonport, there were of course no arms manufactured, and the work done in the work sho s there was of th e mos t meagre character.l. The principal items ch arge d i n this account are for 1 gau 'ng and cleaning a few thousand shot and shell for breech-loaders. With regard to our stock of gunpowder, if we may judge from the quantity manufactured at the Royal Factory at Waltham Abbey, scarcely sufficient to provide for the ordinary practiee of the volunteers was made in the year under review. Some 6,000 barrels of fine grain and 10,000 barrels of la grain powder, with 372 barrels of rocket compositieb, constitute the production at Waltham Abbey. Mahn factures of other descriptions for the army are found in similarly low proportions. At the Royal Laboratory at Woolwich the largest item in the year's expendi diture (£10,989) was for " proving, examining, and, packing stores after manufacture," though it l ig difficult to discover that anything was , manufactured to necessitate much labaur under this head. There are items innumerable for " experiments." A sum of £54 is put down for expenditure in torpedo experiments —an outlay which Mr. Cardwell might probable deem adequate to fully testing the merits of these formidable instruments of. destruction. There is also an item of £9,315 as expenditure on experimental special material for the Ordnance Select CoMmittee. In all the army manu facturing departments, however, there appears to have been an inactivity which helps to explain the recent awk ward exposures as to the inadequacy of our military stores, and the deplorable condition of the equipment of certain branches of the army. THE SECRET TREATY. Count Bismarck has just addressed to the North Ger man representatives abroad, a circular respecting the Secret Treaty proposed by M. Benedetti. He says : In the archives of the Foreign Office at Berlin is presitml .... a letter from Count Benedetti to me, dated Auglst 5, 1866, and a draft treaty en closed in that letter. Copies of both are appended to the present communication. The originals, in Count Benedetti's tufarlsariting, .1 shall eubrnit to the inspect:4ou of the represetdatives of the neutral Powers, and I will also send you a photographic fac-simile of the same. I beg to observe that, according to the Monieur the Emperor Napoleon did pass the time from the 28th of July to the 7th of August, 1866, at Vichy. In the official interview which I had with Count Benedetti in consequence of this letter he supported his demands by threatening war in case of refusal. When I declined, nevertheless, the Luxemburg affair was brought upon the tapis, and after the failure of this little business came the more comprehensive pro posal relative to Belgium embodied in Count Benedetti's draft treaty published in the Times. FINE ART INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION' AT CARDIFF. A grand exhibition has been opened at Cardiff for fine arts and manufactures. The opening ceremony was per formed on Tuesday by the Marquis of Bute, in the Drill Hall, which has been chosen for the scene of the exhi bition. It is a building about 120 feet long and fifty feet wide with a gun shed and suites of apart ments which are very useful for the display of machinery in motion, and other articles taking much space. The Mar quis of Bute, who is a warm patron of all matters con nected with science and art has readily consented to allow the exhibition, which is for the benefit of the public library, to be held in the drill hall, and very cordially congratulated the assembled compa n y on the successful termination of their labours, when he declared the exhibition open. The South Kensington museum has contributed etchings, water-colours, and some very beautiful works of art in bronzes, metals, and carved wood, have been furnished by students of the Central Training School at Cardiff. There are some good specimens of sculpture exhibited, as well as porcelain, machine r y o f var i o us descriptions, works of national industry, and other objects of especial local interest. The Marquis of Bute, in the course of his brief address, said he believed the exhibition Was inferior to none which have been held in the princi pality. Miss Hatfield, of Northampton Massachusetts, has left 300,000 dollars to found a college for women. The death is announced of the Rev. Mr. llacre senior chaplain to the forces at Colchester. Miss Charlotte Jackson (who, during her profes sional career, was known as Miss Cubitt) has left £3OO to the Royal Society of Musicians. Mr. Swinburne is busy on Bothwell, the second drama of a Trilogy of which Chastelard was the first and Elizabeth will be the last instalment. Mr. Justice Blackburn was engaged at Guildford Assizes the whole of Tuesday in trying actions of ejectment brought by the Earl of Onslow against some of his tenants. The Royal Dublin Society's Grand National Horse and Sheep Shew opened on Tuesday. The number of horses shewn was greater than last year, and the leading breeders and stud owners in every part of the country are amongst the competitors. The chew of sheep was also good. The Birmingham Town Council have resolved to apply to the Education Department to cause a school board to be formed for the borough of Birmingham at the earliest possible date. The council have resolved by a large majority to put the Workshops Act in operation. "Lotbair " is an old hero of Mr. Disraeli's. In Heath's "Book of Beauty" for 1835, among other equally worthless contributions, is a sentimental story, "by the author of ' Vivian Grey,' " which derives its name of " The Carrier Pigeon " from the mode of communica tion adopted by the enamoured "Lothair " and his fair correspondent, who is not a " Corisande," but an " Imo gene.' The local journals in the Channel Islands speak apparently with much confidence of the anticipated arrival of a large body of artillerymen (numbering, ac cording to one account, some thousands), from England, as an addition to the force already available for the de fence of the Islands. This, it must be known, at present comprises a regiment of the line, two batteries of royal artillery, and a militia force of nearly 12,000 men. A Frenchman's knowledge of geography is gene rally of the vaguest. A young lady of Bonn asked one of the prisoners there whether he would not like her to write home for him. The poor fellow was delighted, and when writing materials were brought at once began solemnly to dictate : "My dear parents, lam sorry to say that I am at present a prisoner in Bonn, in Spain !" We shall hope that this is a confusion of ideas not very common even in the Frenchsarmy.---Globe. HANDSOME DONATIONS TO LOCAL AND NATIONAL CHARITIES.—Mr. Thomas Rochester, of Whal ton, near Morpeth, has instructed his bankers (Messrs. Hodgkin, Barnett, and Co.), to pay over the munificent donation of £12,000 to the following local and national institutions :—Morpeth Dispensary, £1,000; Newcastle Dispensary, £l,OOO ; Deaf and Dumb Asylum, Newcastle, £l,OOO ; Hospital for Sick Children, Newcastle, £l,OOO ; Blind Asylum, Newcastle, £lOOO ; Ragged and Industrial Schools, Newcastle, £lOOO ; National Life Boat Institu tion, £lOOO ; Church Missionary Society, £lOOO ; British and Foreign Bible Society, £lOOO ; Girls' Jubilee School, Newcastle £6OO ; Home Mission, Newcastle, £ 6OO ; Sailors'Home, North Shields, £6OO ; Wellesley Training Ship, £600; and the Tract Society, £6OO. AUGUST 18, 1870. THE WAR AND AMERICAN INTERESTS. The war in Europe has been looked upon by many as furniShing the United States an opportunity for the re covery of her lost maritime rank. The opportunity, how ever, according to the free-trade theorists, has been hope lessly lost, by the failure of Congress to authorize the transfer of foreign merchant-marine to our flag. While readily comprehending hoiv our commerce may be benefited by the withdrawal of French and Prussian ton nage from competition in the carrying trade, we fail to see how the measure alluded to would be likely to work to our advantage. We fail to see it because at the present time with our tonnage so much smaller than in the prosperous days of the past we have yet more than we can find profitable employment for. Many are disposed to think that the immense gain which was made by British tonnage during our own war through the purchase of vessels from the United States was Fa serious misfortune to us as a maritime country, entailing a severe loss upon individual shipowners, which •is Jaof be compensated for by :flowing them to pu •";:xstiipa abroad. But on a review of tb,e ;vviioln ground, it may w:all be doubted whet er the almost enforced transfer of so large a pal of our tonnage to foreigners was an unmixed evil. ` - "it was disposed of generally at good prices and at a tiniejvhen we had really no use for it. And we doubt if anyghipowner who took that course has since regarded his action as unfortunate. The country certainly has no reason to complain at the exchange of unproductive and deteriorating property into gold ; and when we recollect how depressed the shipping interest was at the close of the war, and has been since that time, and how much worse our position must have been if the vast amount of transferred tonnage had been left idle upon our hands, we may almost congratulate ourselves upon the fact that the favourable opportunity was so freely availed of. Until, therefore, the desirable consummation shall have been; reached when freighting shall be profitable and our ships occupied, to what good end should we hasten to enlarge our marine from foreign sources ? The actual withdraw4,—if it - should come to that,—of the 611,000 tons of the Prussian vessels and the 96,000 tons of the French iessels, which cleared at our ports last year, would be very likely to affect our own shipping favourably, as that source of competition will then have disappeared ; but should we at once absorb it under our own flag it is difficult to see wherein the advantage to our present shipping interest would be likely to accrue. It may be said that the cheapness of the vessels which might be procured under the present circumstances would enable us to sail them at a greater profit, but that consideration, while ignoring the interests of the tonnage already owned in the country, is not peculiar to the state of war under which the change in our laws is especially urged, but might even better have been urged in time of peace, when those vessels were more really our competitors in the business of the world. The settled policy of the country, however, has long been in fayour of encouraging our own shipbuilders, at least to the extent of excluding foreign vessels from the benefit of our flag, and the present war certainly adds no strength to the reasons for a change. Our shipbuilding interest needs greater encouragement rather than total extinction, and it would be better and doubtless more for the true interests of the country to remit all taxes upon it, and even to grant adequate subsidies, than to suffer it to die out entirely. The latter course would not only deprive the country of the taxes now imposed upon the materials which are used in the business of shipbuilding, but would sweep away a vast and important industry which no country could afford to spare. Why should the pro duct of foreign, capital and labour be allowed admis sion into the country, without the payment of taxes or contributing anything to the support of the Go vernment, while our own capital and labour are weighed down by taxes in every direction ? If foreigners are to be allowed to compete with us in our own markets, our own artisans should at least be placed on an equal footing with them, and when that shall have been done, no further favours will be asked from the Governmrnt. The present war, if continued, will doubtless have an important bearing upon our maritime interests, and if it shall be the means of fully employing our present tonnage, we doubt not that our shipbuilders will see to it that our commerce does not suffer for want of vessels.—Boston Advertiser. MARSH MACMAHON. opinions as to the personal courage and military capacity of Marshal MacMahon, who must be thoroughly pained at the wondrous tales of his prowess related by the Paris journals. The Figaro, as a token of admiration for the conquered of the 6th of August, proposes a national subscription for the purcha-e of a sabre of honour to be presented to the Marshal. Nothing in ancient or modern history, says Figaro, is to be compared to the bravery of the Duke of Magenta, charging for whole hours at the head of his regimeuts, a sword in his hand and a Chassepot on his shoulder. The other day we had the Marshal, after the cuirassiers had charged seventeen times, " standing up in his stirrups, lighting a cigar, and organising a marvellous retreat." The presentation of a sword under the present circumstances reminds one of the English captain who was knighted for the exceedingly gallant but unsuc cessful defence 'of his vessel against a Yankee frigate. Paul Jones, when he heard of the honours conferred on his late antagonist, declared that the next time he met him he would make a peer of him. An anecdote is told concerning the losses at Woerth which reflects little credit on French organization. When counting up the killed, wounded, and missing, Marshal MacMahon came to the 79th Regiment, not an officer or man was left, nor had even a kepi been saved from the general wreck. The com mander of the Ist corps d'armee was bewailing the total destruction of the regiment when much to his relief he was told that it was at Bastia, where it had been waiting for transports for several days to take it to France. I may add that the talented military correspondent of the Temps, M. Jeannerod. relates that MacMahon was not surprised at Woerth ; that he knew he was (going to be attacked by superior forces, and telegraphed the information to head-quarters. The answer he received was—' Attack.' He telegraphed again insisting on the disproportion of forces, and the answer was still Attack." LAW AND POLICE. A SAD CA SE. —A poor widow, named Charlotte Ross, of No. 9, Dalglish-street, Limehouse, came before Mr. Lushington, at the Thames Police-court, and stated that her late husband was in the employ of the owners of the Black Ball line of packets, and he was killed in one of their vessels in October last. She managed to obtain a very scanty living for herself and two children, by work ing a mangle purchased for her by the Black Ball line owners, and by washing. She fell into arrears of rent, and an execution was put into her house by her land lord for £2 165., and everything was seized by a brcker, named Redpath, of Sutton-street, St. George's in-the-East. All her goods were sold, and her mangle, the chief source of her existence, was also disposed of. The brokers' charges and rent amounted to £4 , and he had offered her a balance of the sale amounting to is. 6d. Her landlord had since brought an action against her in the County Court because she had since occupied the empty house, but the judge refused to interfere. Mr. Lushing ton : When was the seizure made. Applicant : On the 20th of June last, and all my things were taken away next day and sold by auction. Had they waited a day or two I could have paid the amount due. Mr. Lushington, after looking over the broker's account, said there were charges which required explanation. He granted a summons to the applicant free. SENDING BAD MEAT TO LONDON.-At the Guildhall Police-court Thomas Fisher, a knacker, carrying on busi ness at a place called Mattishall, in Norfolk, was sum moned before Sir Sydney H. Waterlow for sending three quarters and a-half of beef to the London mar ket for sale as human food, the same being diseased, unsound, unwholesome, and unfit for the food of man. Mr. Baylis prosecuted on behalf of the Commissioners of Sewers, and said that the animial belonged to a grazier in the defendant's neighbourhood, and having the lung dis ease he sent it to the defendant to kill it for the dogs. He went to drive it home, but it fell in the road, and he was obliged to kill it there and take it to a slaughter. house to have it dressed. The ribs had been stripped to hide the mark where the lungs had adhered to them—a thing that was never done in the case of healthy beasts. The meat was dressed and sent to London, but when it arrived here it was entirely unfit for human food, and was brought to court and condemned. Evidence having been given in support of Mr. Baylis's statement, the defendant contended that the meat was fit for human food when he sent it, but that the hot weather had made it become putrid. Sir Sydney H. Waterlow said he had a reluctance to send a man like the defendant to prison, but he must fine him in the full penalty of £2O; and £5 ss. costs, or in default one month's imprison ment. The defendant said he must serve his month, for he could not pay the fine. Baron Brunnow was to have left London yester day for Paris, to enter upon his diplomatic duties as Russian Ambassador at the Court of the Tuilleries. The Church Herald repeats its statement that Dr. Cotterill has been offered the Bishopric of Edinburgh. THE CUTLER'S FEAST.—It had been hoped that Mr. Gladstone might honour the Master Cutler with his presence this year. We regret to learn, however, that the right hon. gentleman has felt compelled to decline. Among the other refusals is one from Mr. Roebuck. Mr. Disraeli has not yet replied to the invitation. The Duke of Norfolk, Lord Howard of Glossop, Lord Milton,M.P., Mr. Mundella, M.P., and others are expected to be pre , sent---SheffieW Tekgraph. PRICE 16 STAMPED 2d AN EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY. At Central Criminal Court yesterday, before Mr. Baron Martin, Henry Banks, 34, accountant : John Harris, 30, clerk ; and Julius Lawrence, 39, solicitor, were indicted for conspiring together to obtain certain sums of money from the Earl of Romney and others, for counselling cer tain persons to obtain such moneys by false pretences; and for suborning such persons to conimit perjury. Mr. Metcalfe, in detailing the operations of the prisoners, reminded the jury that poor persons going through the Bankruptcy Court might sue in formd pauperis, by being arrested and lodged in prison. After passing through the Court, such persons might be relieved by the Society for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors, of which the Earl of Romney was president, and to which many noblemen and gentlemen contributed. The debtors received £5O, £6O, or £lOO, to enable them to start in business again. At the close of last year there was a great rush of people to become bankrupt before the new act should come into operation. A scheme was thereupon adopted by the prisoners and others to get a number oLpeople to sue iia fornia pauperis, go through the court, and iheil petition the society for relief, the prisoners taking a portion of such relief for themselves. Lawrence was an attorney on the rolls, but not having taken out his certificate. Harris acted as clerk to Banks, who was an accountant, but pro fessed to have lent money to the parties. A number of persons were arrested at the instance of theprisoners,Banks or Harris severally acting as detaining creditor, and in all Lawrence acted as the attorney. In the case of a Guild ford confectioner, named Hill, Banks commencedan action against him for money lent, although he had not really lent him any money, Hill consented to a judgment against him in the Lord Mayor's Court, an execution was issued by the Sheriff, and he was put into Whitecross street Prison. Three persons were mentioned in the judgment, and although they had never seen each other, they signed consent to the joint judgment. They then went to a public-house in Whitecross-street, where they met the sheriff, and were escorted across the street to the prison. Next morning Lawrence appeared with the petitions and other documents all cut and dried. These averred pressure by creditors and poverty as the cause of their arrest, and pleaded inability to pay the costs. Next, an affidavit was made, on oath, stating the name and address of the detaining creditor, and the consideration for the debt. This was in the handwriting of Banks. In some of the depositions Banks was said to be the detaining creditor; but as there were about eighty cases in which the prisoners were concerned, it might have aroused sus picion if he had appeared in all, although he had commenced the actions, and issued judgments in all. Therefore, in some of the depositions which the bankrupts were to sign and swear to, the detaining creditor was said to be one Brooks, residing at Holloway, Croydon, or some other place. Other names were also inserted. Although all the processes issued from the Lord Mayor's Court, sometimes that court was described as the Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, or some other court The same statements were made before the Registrar. The debters were men of no education, and when asked by the gaoler previous to discharge they could not tell the name of their detaining creditor, or the amount of their debt. Those proceeding laid the foundation for an appli cation to the Society for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors. Banks or Harris drew out the petitions, which were pre sented to the society, and, on the money being obtained, an agreement was made with the bankrupts to share the proceeds. The prisoners had thus cheated the creditors of the bankrupts, cheated the Bankruptcy Court, and ob.: tained money fraudulently from the society. John Hill was then called, and gave evidence bearing out the opening of counsel. He owed nothing to Banks, and the alleged debts were false. He knew nothing of the society until Banks mentioned it to him. Banks said if they got him £5O he was to give him £5 ' • and if £6O , to give him £ lO fur his trouble. Harris told him he would be sure to get the charity, as he had got it himself. Both Banks and Harris said they had got it. Witness said that if he got £6O he would give Harris a sovereign for drawing out the petition. He got £5O, and gave Banks £5 in the street. Harris asked for his £l, but witness said as he had not got £6O he should not give it to him. Harris afterwards wrote to him to say that if he did not pay, his creditors would be informed of the circumstances of the bankruptcy, which would be an nulled. He was not in the habit of being humbugged, and would not be by witness. Cross-examined : He was really in poverty, and could not have paid the fees, He owed about £l3O. The petition to the society was true. Formal evidence was then given of the proceedings in -the Lord Mayor's and Bankruptcy Courts ; and other bankrupts who had gone through in a similar style to Hill were examined. One of them said that Banks told him to go to prison on a certain day, as there were a lot going in at the same time. (Laughter.) Another lived at Chester; but came up to town to go into prison and be " whitewashed." In his case, his address was falsified, in addition to fictitious debts being placed on his petition. This witness got nothing from the society. Another got £55, but refused to give Banks any of it. After being " dunned" re peatedly, he paid £3los. Banks asked one of the wit nesses if his debts amounted to £3OO ; and on being answered in the negative said, " Very well, you'll stand for the charity "—the society not giving anything where the debts are over £3OO. The jury found the prisoners guilty. The prisoners were then arraigned for conspiracy to obtain money and property from other persons, by issuing legal processes for fictitious debts. His lordship held there was no evidence, and directed the jury to acquit the prisioners of this charge. Banks, in mitigation of the sentence on the first charge, said the system had been pursued by others for years, and he never contemplated any fraud. Baron Martin said no doubt such scandalous robbery of creditors had been going on for a long time in connection with the Bankruptcy Court. The prisoners were sentenced to eighteen months' hard labour each. ALARMING COLLISION ON THE FURNESS RAILWAY, BARROW. On Tuesday afternoon an alarming accident took place at the Furness Abbey Station, on the Furness system of railways. On Tuesday the twelve o'clock noon boat train from Peel, with passengers from the Isle of Man, had arrived at Furness Abbey, and that portion of it going south was being shunted, the carriages for Barrow standing at the same time on the main down line. The quarter-past eleven a.m. train from Carnforth Junction came up, but was compelled to remain outside the station, owing to the down line being thus filled. At this juncture a heavy goods train from Carnforth followed, and in consequence of the driver being unable, from the weight of his train and the speed at which he was running down the steep incline, to pull up in time, an alarming collision took place. Many of the passengers,on becoming aware of their danger, leaped from the doors, and were thus bruised and shaken, whilst others, who were in the train when the shock took place, were found, on removal, to be more or less injured. It is not apprehended, however, that serious results will follow in any of the cases we have as yet been able to dis cover.—Manchester Courricr. FATAL BATHING ACCIDENT IN S C OTLAND .—A sad accident happened near Dumfries, on Tuesday. Whilst two women and a girl were bathing in the river Nith, about a mile below the town, they were all drowned. At a meeting of 900 unionists of Thorncliffe Colliery on Tuesday it was resolved to accept the terms offered by the masters. The dispute has lasted 73 weeks, and it is stated that £20,000 has been spent in supporting the men. A number of persons, chiefly ladies, who, in the agitation of the first few days of last week, sought refuge in England, have now returned to Paris, private letters from that capital leading them to believe in the mainte nance of order, and in the sufficiency of the French arma ments for the defence of France. A. fear exists in some quarters that France may induce Turkey to occupy the Danubian principalities on some pretext, and that this might lead Russia to inter fere, thus rendering the present war inevitably more general. On the other hand, it is thought that the Sultan will be cautious not to ally himself with the French Emperor during his present alarming reverses. It has been widely rumoured within the last few days—with what truth we cannot pretend to say—that the prospects of a speedy peace have become so apparent to the present Government that they have resolved not to carry out the contemplated increase to our army beyond three-fourths of the extent at first considered necessary. They are apparently unmindful of the old proverb as to the chickens in the egg.—Globe. TENANTS AND AGENT IN IRELAND. The tenants on the Lansdowne estates at Kenmare have re solved to testify their satisfaction with the management of the property and their friendly feeling towards Mr. Trench, the agent, by presenting him with a testimonial on the occasion of his marriage. A subscription list has been opened, and a handsome sum already subscribed for the purpose. The presentation will be made on his re t urn home with his bride. This may be regarded as an auspi cious omen for the future relations of landlord and tenant in the South. --- OUTBREAK OF A FEARFUL EPIDEMIC IN CHILI. —lntelligence has been received in Liverpool of the breaking out of a fearful epid em i c i n Colchagua, on the coa st of Chili, the effects of which are stated to be as sweeping as, those of cholera or yellow fever. The Libertad, which publishes the information. says :—" We do not desire to cause a groundless alarm, but, on the contrary, to point out the evil, in order that a remedy may be sought with the necessary promptitude. The disease presents itself first in the form of a violent fever, and then, on the second or third day appear on the face spots of a gangrenous character, which develope them selves in two days, and produce death in the midst of the most cruel sufferings. The ulcers especially attack the mouth and nose, which fall off in pieces." The journal concludes by strongly recommending that experienced medical men should be at once sent to study the disease. It would be also desirable that all vessels arriving from Chili should be strictly inspected by the Customs officials.
