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 Nring. Fos intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spender's book will be welcome. It has, moreover, the decided advantage of com pression, clearness of style, and easy manageableness of bulk."— Daily Telegraph. " The volume perfectly fulfils its purpose. It is neat and cheap and contains in a small space a great quantity of very interesting matter, much of which will be novel, and all of which will be useful, not. only to those who visit the places described, but to those 'Who stay at home. Mr. Spender is an acute observer, a most industrious and judicious collector of facts, and an eloquent and graphic writer, and does ample justice to his subjects."— Yorkshire PoSt. "It deserves a welcome, this book we have so long uncon sciouily 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. The essay on Norway is particularly full of information, but the others are not far behind it in proportion to their length, and all are written in a genial spirit."—Globe. " Without being exactly a guide-book, it answers all the pur poses of one, and contains beside a vast quantity of information, all given in the most condensed form possible. There is not a line of space wasted in fine writing, but the descriptions of scenery bear witness to the author's genuine love and appreciation of the picturesque, just as his closely compressed facts and statements prove the practical and hardworking man of letters."—Man chester. Courier. "From back to hack `Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is full of matter interesting equally to the tourist and the ordinary reader. It is written in an easy and pleasant 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 publie. . . As to its literary merits we need say nothing, the name of the oath& being sufficient guarantee on this point." 7 -Western " The articles shew unusual power of observation, are full of genial gossip, and supply just what the. excursionist wants — reliable information."—Western Daily Press.

Mr. Tom Taylor, the correspondent of the Manchester Examiner, thus treats of the orators and oratory of the session :—ln glancing back at the session, as I usually do at its close, from the personal and oratorical point of view, the first thing that occurs to me is the loss we have suffered in the absence of Mr. Bright. That is, of course, tantamount to saying that the session has been below the highest standard of contemporary oratory, for friends and foes alike admit that, as an orator, the member for Birmingham is without a rival. Mr. Gladstone, who certainly comes next, has never been more powerful in debate than he has been during the present session. His speech on the introduction of the Irish Land Bill will rank even amongst his great successes in an art in which he is without a rival—we mean that of exposition ' • while the way in which he fought the same bill through committee was perfectly marvellous for the readiness, the pertinacity, and the in exhaustible knowledge of the subject with which he encountered all opponents. Mr. Disraeli, on the contrary, has by no means sustained his reputation. Absent from the house, on account of ill health, during a great part of the session, he has displayed only a languid and inter mittent interest in its proceedings when present. He has made it is true, one or two clever little speeches— his one or two long ones have been dreary failures, but somehow he has always given me the idea that he was always speaking because he must not because he wished. The hopelessness of opposition seemed to weigh upon him. He had lost the buoyancy of spirits necessary for party skirmishing, while the forces at his command are too scanty for any serious enterprise, so for the most part he sits silent and lets Mr. Hardy lead ; nor does the latter right hon. gentleman do the work badly. The session has marked a decided improve ment in his style. He has shewn on many occasions a sobriety of judgment and judicious tact of which he had previously given no sign ; and while be still retains the power of rousing up the Tory country gentlemen, and carrying them away in a way that no other of their leaders can do, he has shewn that he has in him the capacity for something more than this. The man, however, who has made the greatest ad vance during the session is decidedly Mr. Forster. Upon him, I need not, however, dwell much, because I have on more than one occasion during the session endeavoured to do justice to him. He has by his speeches on the Education Bill proved himself one of the most powerful debators in the House ; by his conduct of the same bill through committee he has shewn high aptitude for leadership ; while he has won to. an extent that really begins to remind one of the late Sir G. C. Lewis, the confidence and respect of all parties by his candour, fair ness, readiness to do justice to his opponents, and fine temper. With the exception of his budget speech, Mr. Lowe has done nothing that calls for particular notice—un less it be the " plucky" way in which he threw over his old economical crochets in his speech on the Irish Land Bill. It strikes me that he has scarcely maintained his influence in the House. As to the Ministers generally, they are very much what and where they always were, and the same thing may be said of most other members.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE.—John Duke (52), cigar maker, was indicted at the Central Criminal Court, for the attempted murder of his wife, Eleanor Duke, in Cripplegate. The parties had been married for twenty-three years, and latterly they had been in great trouble. Prisoner had been out of work for about seven months, a favourite child had died in October last five others were ill with the fever, and his wife was also ill. While she was looking away, the prisoner struck her twice with a stick, stabbed her in the throat, and then cut his own throat. They were removed to the hospital, where both recovered. The jury found the pri soner not guilty, on the ground of insanity, and he was ordered to bwdetained during her Majesty's pleasure. AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE. —Reuben Martin, a foot man, aged 18, was convicted, at the Central Criminal Court, of committing an abominable offence with a man unknown. Prisoner had been taken into custody by an officer who saw him acting in a suspicious manner, and when at the station he made and signed a full con fession, shewing that he had acted as charged on several occasions. When arraigned, however, he pleaded not guilty. Mr. Baron Martin postponed sentence until Wednesday, when witnesses to character will be pro duced ; but his lordship observed that it was a case in which he had no discretion, as the Legislature had enacted that the sentence must be one of not less than ten years penal servitude. A NEUTRAL LADY IN DIFFICULTIES.—At the Bow street Police-court, an elderly lady with her attendant applied to Mr Flowers for assistance to relieve her from a difficulty, incident to the war. She stated that she had arrived in England from France previous to the breaking out of hostilities, and, after visiting Brighton and elsewhere, desired urgently to return. She had no one in England who knew her, and had applied to the Foreign Office, who referred her to a magistrate, who could not grant her a passport as she was unknown to him. Applicant said that four years ago she came and went without a passport, and thought it was the same now.--Mr. Flowers : No, things are altered now.—lt eventually came out that a gentleman in Lambeth might have some slight knowledge of the lady, and the magis trate kindly ordered the officer to procure a form, so that she might get it filled up. The ladies retired evidently regarding the war as a nuisance. AN APOTHECARY CHARGED WITH THE MURDER OF AN ACTRESS.—At the Central Criminal Court, before Mr. Baron Martin, William Harding (59), described as an apothecary, was indicted for the wilful murder of Isabella Tewson ; and on a minor count for attempting to procure abortion. The prisoner lived with his wife and family in Windsor -terrace, City-road, and carried on business as a surgeon, but his name did not appear in the " Medical Register." The deceased was a married woman, twenty who acted under the nam e o f four years of age, Miss George, at the Alhambra Music Hall, Shore ditch, and it was charged by the prosecution that the prisoner gave her ergot rye and used an instrument for the purpose of procuring abortion. The effect was a mis-carriage, from which she died. For the defence, it was shewn that deceased, in enacting the Part of Mazeppa, was obliged to fall heavily three times each evening ; that she fell down stairs a fortnight before her death ; and that on the Wednesday before her death she was severely hart in descending through a trap, after which she did not act again. It was urged that these mishaps were sufficient to account for Mrs. Tewson's death, under the circum stances. At the close of the case for the prosecution, his Lordship expressed his opinion that the evidence did not-' establish any connexion between the prisoner and the administration of any noxious drug to deceased or the use of any instrument, and under his direction tie jury acquitted the prisoner. SINGULAR CHARGE OF BIGAMY AT SWANSEA.—A sin gular case of bigamy has been investigated at Swansea, which excited great interest owing to all the parties con cerned being well known in the town. The defendant, Mary Jane Newman, was charged ' with niarrying her present httsband, her former husband, Antonio Walker a man of colour,.being still alive. Walker was a steward on board a steamer sailing between Swansea and Vali)araiso, and on returning from one of his voyages he found his wife had left her cottage and was living as housekeeper with Mr. Mitchell a china and glass dealer. She refused to see him and he went back to Valparaiso. After a time Mr. Mitchell died, leaving his property and business to his housekeeper, who married a Mr. Newman in 1867: It was contended on behalf of her first husband that she 'knew he was living, and that he had never been away from Swansea for more than four years. Charles Newman, the second husband, said that his wife had told him 'Aralker was dead, and there was no secrecy about their marriage. He admitted having seen the prosecutor in Swansea last summer, but he had no communication from him until the summons. He heard from his wife's brother that Walker was dead twelve months before he married his wife, , but made no isiquiry on the subject. The case was dismissed, the jury being of opinion that there was no evidence the defendant was aware that her first husband was alive at the time she married the second. The prosecutor was very much perplexed at the result of the case ,which had to be explained to him by a bystander. The Poet Laureate is said to be at work on a new poem. TELEGRAPH TO SPUR3I.—The Post Office autho rities have sanctioned the extension of the telegraph to Spurm Head. Damage to the extent of £7OO resulted from a fire which occurred on Saturday on a farm near Liverpool. A lad resident at Stockport is the supposed incendiary, and is in custody on suspicion. Thirteen additional Postal Telegraph. Offices will be opened in various parts of the kingdom on the 17th four of them being in the Isle of .

SERIOUS 'Bus ACCIDENT.—A' DOZEN PERSONS INJuW.—Shortly after eight, o'clock on Saturday evening an alarming accident happened ta one of 'the omnibnses of Messrs. E. Holden and Co., which ply between Bolton and Farnworth.. Going down a hill the vehicle upset, and the whole of the passengers on the top were precipitated to the ground, with injuries more or less severe. Three of them it was found necessary to remove to the Bolton infirmary one named James Wrigley, labourer, sustaining a severe laceration on the right knee, and it is to be feared a fracture of the ribs ; another, Thomas Hoyle, of Little Bolton, the conductor, a dislo cation of the left knee ; and the third, Peter Shor rocks, the driver, a fearful cut over the eye, and a dislocation of the left shoulder. A man from Farnworth had his leg broken ; Mr. Richard Holden, one of the proprietors of the 'bus, sustained a laceration of the knee ; and several of the inside passengers were likewise badly cut about the head, face, and breast, through being thrown against the glass sides of the 'bus. One side of the conveyance was shattered, hilt the horses theinsAlves escaped unhurt. AUGUST 16, 1870. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LICHFIELD RACES.—Tnis DAT. HORSES ARRIVED.

The North British Mail says the royal.party arrived in Aberdeen about 4 p.m. on Friday, the train being almost half-an-hour late. The station platform was crowded by a gay and fashionable assemblage , the presence of ladies bein g particularly noticeable, The Princess did not ap pearto the spectators ; but the Prince and royal children remained at the windows of the different carriages during the time taken up by shunting on to the Deeside line. After a stay of eleven minutes the royal party left, amid loud cheers, for Ballater, which was safely. reached. Carriages were in waiting, and the partyArove to Aber geldie, at which place they arrived shortly after six o'clock. PRICE 1 LI STAMPED THE BRIXTON BABY-FARMING CASE. The Central Crimi al Court was opened yesterdaxmorn tng before the Recorder of London (W. Russel-Gurney,Esq. , M.P.), who was accompanied on the bench by the Lord Mayor, Alderman Sir R. W. Carden, and other aldermen of the city. The learned Recorder, in charging the Grand Jury, said the first case to which he should call their attention was an indictment for murder against Margaret Waters and Sarah Ellis, who were charged with the mur der of five children. Under ordinary circumstances it would be necessary to advert to the evidence in one case only, but in this he must direcl_their attention to the case generally, as the evidence affeßing the death of one child would to a certain extent affect those of all. The prisoners appeared to have been in the habit of taking in children to board, and there had been an excessive mortality among these children. That mortality might arise from natural causes, or it might be due to the known difficulty of bringing up children by hand ; or it might be from care lessness ; or, again, it might have been intentionally brought about. • It the grand jury were satisfied that it arose from natural causes, it would be their duty to throw out the bill. If they were convinced that it arose from carelessness or neglect, then they would find a bill for manslaughter. But if they were satisfied, from the depositions, that it was intentionally brought about by the prisoners they would return the bill for the more serious charge of wilful murder. The first charge against the women was the murder of an illegitimate child named Cowen. The grandfather of the child saw an advertise ment of a person wishing to adopt a child, and on answer ing it saw Waters, who said she and her husband had been married for thirteen years, and having no children of own, they desired to adopt a respectable and healthy child. She had mentioned £4 as the premium in the advertisement, but she told the parties that she was unwilling to take any money, and they had some difficulty in inducing her to accept £2. She told others, however, that she had to get £2 more. It was in May that she took possession of the child; and in June it was found in a most emaciated and neglected state. It was taken away, and put under proper care, but it died shortly afterwards. The medical evidence shewed that death had been accelerated by improper food and neglect. Another child was obtained in a similar way. Waters asked £4, and on poverty being pleaded she took £2. Applications were made to see the child ; but it was not seen again by its relations. Some time before the prisoners were taken into custody the body of a child was found, and some of the clothes upon it were subsequently identified as having been upon the child taken by Waters, while others were shewn to have belonged to the prisoners. There was no evidence to shew the cause of death, the - body being so much decomposed. .At that time it was not known to have been in the care of the prisoners ; and it was not until publicity had been given to this case that inquiries resulted in tracing the clothing. With respect to the other cases three children were found in the care of the prisoners and removed to the workhouse. The medical evidence shewed that their death was accelerated by improper food and improper treatment. In two cases narcotics had been given, and had contributed it was alleged, to a con siderable extent, to death. It there had only been one case in which the prisoner Waters had expressed a wish to adopt a child, there might be nothing whatever to shew that the statement was not true. But when she advertised systematically, under different names, and obtained various children in that way, they could not say that her statement was true. They must draw a distinction between such cases, and say whether it was probable that the prisoners contemplated boarding and nursing the children during the whole of their lives for £2 or £4 each. They must take into consideration the state of mind and cir cumstances of the prisoners, and say whether it was probable they contemplated, as the necessary consequence of their treatment of the children, the deaths which ultimately took place. They must consider the evidence in each case, and then apply to them collectively the conduct of the prisoners. If they thought the prisoners knew what would be the consequences of their treatment of the children, then they must be put on trial for wilful murder, when they might produce evidence to qualify that upon which they had been committed, and which was merely ex parte. His Lordship then referred to other cases in the calendar. With respect to Ann Messer, charged with murderinc , her child with a hatchet; 'the petty jury would probably find that she was not in a state of mind , to be responsible for her actions. A railway guard was charged with manslaughter, arising out of the collision between the Croydon and Crystal Palace trains at .Penge. The deceased was guard of the other train, and jumped off 'on seeing a collision to be imminent. They would, therefore, say whether the prisoner was responsible in such a case; if his violation of the rules o the line, in passing the danger signal, contributed to that llision. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. Harvest operations have made rapid progress during the week, and a tolerably correct estimate of the extent Of the yield can now be arrived at. Commencing with wheat, it Appears that, the yield varies considerably in different localities. On poor soils and Where the seed did not get a good hold of the gtound, owing to the Severe drought during the earlier part of the season, the return is miserably poor, being, in some instances, as small or six bushels to the acre. On the other hand, on strong and well-farmed land the crop is considerably in excess of the average, and cases have occurred where 72 bushels to the acre have been secured. On the whole, the crop will probably prove tc, be about an average, or 30 bushels to the acre. Notwithstanding the heavy showers, the grain has been generally got in in good condition, and the quality has been mostly satisfactory. The barley crop is less favourably mentioned, and although some good fields have' been occasionally noticed, the yield is expected .to fall short of the average by about 20 per cent. Oats, also, will Probabry proved deficient by about 15` per cent. AS regards beans the return is considered to_ be fully 30 per cent. below the average:, Peas, on'thepther ' hand will probably come up to the average as regards quantity,'whilst the quality is undoubtedly superior. The root crops are in a :much better condition than could have been expected, consider ing the vicissitudes through which they have passed ; and with a favourable autumn an average return of mangolds and turnips may be expected, notwithstanding the total failure in some fields.—The Magnet. The Mark Lane Express says—With the exception of occasional showers, very limited in extent, the weather last week has been favourable for the earlier gatherings. But the hay countries continue brown and burnt up, and it is now getting too late to expect anything more than a bite for cattle. Such a small crop ,of hay has seldom been known, 'and the prices must rule 'high• through the winter, notwithstanding any imports of compressed forage from foreign parts, where they have fared better. The war still being most adverse to France, and Prussia having signed the treaty for the security of Belgium, our own prospects of not being involved have materially improved, and a reaction in corn prices has already commenced. It is to be hoped the awful strife now raging in the very country so eager for war will soon cease. Not only has human life been recklessly sacrificed, but all commerce and financial measures have been made doubly,uncertain, and in Prussia such has been the demand for men that the gatherings are in danger for the want of labourers to secure them.

REPORT OF THE DARIEN SURVEY. The New York Tribune gives a short account of Captain Selfridge's verbal report, dated July 1, of the labours of himself and party on the Isthmus of Darien, which were undertaken with the view of verifying the various reports of other parties as to the capacities of that portion of this inter-continental Isthmus, for the construction of a Ship Canal from ocean to ocean. As will be expected, the in habitants of Panama are waiting with much interest to know the conclusions Captain Selridge had come to from his experience as well as the opinion of the Government at Washington on hearing his report. A full account of what the various parties of the expedition saw and did will doubtless form an interesting Scientific report of various little known localities on this Isthmus. But the Canal question must evidontly be considered pretty much in statu quo. Captain Selfridge with the present know ledge gained by the survey evidently inclines to the Sans Bias route. He admits, however, that he had not got through with the survey of this latter route when the rains compelled him to suspend operations. The Caledonia and Morti routes he pronounces impracticable. As to San Bias although the Bayamo river is pointed out as avail able for twelve miles, with eighteen feet of water at low and twenty eight feet at high water, yet the " twenty six miles of mountains or high hills" must na turally make the government hesitate in accepting his as the best' route for a canal. Not until the whole Isthmus is surveyed can the comparative cost of a canal be estimated from a secure basis, promising a prac ticable outlay. At all events the ships are laid up and further examination put off until the commencement of the next dry season. It is satisfactory, however, to be in formed of the interest taken in the affair by President Grant and the members of the Cabinet. The President particularly expressed himself favourable to the plan of the United States itself, undertaking the construction of the canal, instead of Captain Selfridge's suggestion to make the enterprise an international one. Although, if subsequent surveys do not show a route with less than twenty-six miles of mountains to be cut through, any. single Government might well shrink from the outlay re quired. It is to be hoped, however, that the President's promise to recommend to Congress further appropriations to finish the survey will be favourably received. The re sults, we are sure, will show a much less formidable route than that of San Bias, where Captain Selfridge , was obliged to suspend the progress of the survey northwards. It is satisfactory to learn, for the sanitary reputation of the Isthmus, that the expedition on both sides was for tunate not to have lost even one man by sickness. It says well for the morale of the entire force that neither exces sive fatigue, want of shoes and clothing, could deter them from finishing their tasks. Neither Chagres fever, nor the thousand and one dangers which the enemies to the progress of the Isthmus continually publish and exagge rate, deterred brave men from doing a duty the success of which would be felt by the whole world and generations yet unborn. As Captain Selfridge has orders to make preparations for the renewal of the survey next fall, we trust his name is destined to be associated with the dis poirery'of the'most practicable route for the great Ameri an Inter-Oceanic Ship Canal through this Isthmus. Such is not, however, either the belief or the wish of the Tribune. Captain Selridge's surveys just stopped in time to furnish a report suitable for the Tribune's views. In a paragraph of its number of July 6 in noticing a Bill for the Construction of a R a il roa d an d Ship Canal across the Ithmus of Tehuantepec, it says, " The definitive failure of the Darien project cl ear ly brings the Tehuantepec scheme to the point." The first assertion is not true, and the second is a gratuitous assumption. If the twenty-six miles of hill cutting of Captain Selfridge's San Blas route gives an almost financial impossibility to the adoption of it. as an enterprise for a single nation, we have yet to be told that Tehuantepec offers a route where a ship canal could' be constructed with less money and labour. We have no fears about the result, if fair play is given to" the yet unexamined claims of the Isthmus here ; and look on the contest between the Herald on behalf of Nicaragua, and the Tribune in favour of the Mexican route as a gain which the prin cipals may lose, but the literary backers are sure to win. So far as Colombia is concerned, two chances are in her favour. If the Canal Treaty (now probably passed) is accepted by the United States Government, and ticable route is found, we have President's Grant's °pi.; nion that it should be undertaken Unaided by the Stated alone.
