"Both to the beinner and the proficient in that study this work will be invaluable." --Daily Telegraph. " It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species, and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages 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 many 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 teat-hook by • high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste fully 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 high. . . . 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 a very useful addition to our library." Land and Waler. Oct. 9. London—W. TWEEDIE. 337. Strand. W.(/. 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. For 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." 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 cheater Courier. " From back to 'iack ' Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is full of matter interesting equally to the I surist 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.

During this short breathing-time which , the stronger party is somewhat strangely allowing the weaker, it may not be inopportune to express a hope of peace. No doubt it will not be easy to soon ter minate a conflict which was begun in such a spirit and with such motives ; but really the chances of a settlement do not seem unsubstantial. It is true that the Emperor NAPOLEON, in a proclamation issued before fighting commenced, prophesied that the war would be a long one; but that opinion was of course based on the supposition that the French would atter hard struggle prevail, and that a long and laborious driving back of the Germans would be the work cut out for the Imperial forces. The war, however, lias not taken this course. The_ Germans have gained - the advantage; and yet they have - no precise object to secure by following up their success. They 'do not wish to conquer France ; it will profit them nothing to humiliate France. All they aim at is the unity of the German nation, and complete freedom from foreign interference. These objects being gained, further prosecution of the strife is to them a boot less waste of life and treasure. In their case, indeed, the evils of war are specially poig nant, for the citizen-soldier principle, admirably adapted, as it is for winning battles, is most exhausting in case of a lengthy conflict. King WILLIAM in his proclamation to the French people makes no secret of his desire for peace. He points to the Emperor NAPOLEON as the author of this outbreak. He attacks, not French citizens, but only soldiers. He declares that the German nation desired and still desires to live in . peace with the "French people." These words may surely be held to imply that the Germans are prepared to listen to ' fair terms. Nor can there be much difficulty in laying down a ,definition of " fair terms." It is not • probable that the German Ministers will commit the mistake of attempting to annex any part of French ' territory; but the expenses of the war will certainly be demanded, and France must be prepared to forego all meddling whatever in German affairs. These concessions will be •an unquestionable hu miliation to France ; but for that there is no help. The • trial by battle has gone against the French. The chances of redeeming the ill-fortune of last week are slight. Even the Parisians are preparing to defend their capital, and one Paris journal advises further retreat of the Imperial army, fighting under present circumstances being hopeless. Paying an in demnity can be no greater humiliation than witnessing au encampment of Prussian soldiers in the Champ de Mars. One serious obstacle to peace does exist; and King WILLrAm in his procla mation plainly hints at it by the distinction he makes between the a French people" and the " Emperor NAPOLEON."- Western Morning News. THE FRENCH IMPERIAL FAMILY. A private telegram from an authority whose veracity has always been thoroughly proved, informs us that the Empress of the French and the Prince Imperial have arrived in England, and are now living in a private man sion in St. John's Wood. We give the report with all reserve.— Weekly Register. The Post and Telegraph are authorized (we presume by the French Government) to deny the flight of the Prince Imperial. The denial we take for what it is worth.—Pall .Llfall Gazette. Notwithstanding the positive assertions of the-morniug journals to the contrary, we have reason to believe that the Prince Imperial has arrived in this country.—Echo. Referring to the rumour of the premeditated flight of the whole imperial household, Mr. Edmund Yates says there is a certain set of people in English society to whom the Emperor has been very well known, ever since, as an exile, he occupied rooms in a house in King-street, St. Jame S's, London (which, by the way,, through the kindness .of the Metropolitan Board of Works, has since been decorated with a blue tablet commemorative of the fact), and these persons do not scruple to say that for a long time past the Emperor has . had but one idea in his head, and that should fortune go against him in the present war he will at once carry it into effect. And that scheme is as the French say, to " make his packet "—Anglice to pack up his carpet-bag, and without an attempt of return jug to Paris, as soon as he sees the game is up to start n once, accompanied by his son, for England. It is well known that Louis Napoleon holds very large sums invested in the English funds ; no possible obstacle could be raised to the Empress joining her husband and child, and as plain .M. Bonaparte, living say, in Carlton House-terrace or Park-lane, he might give up wearing that bullet - proof cuirass, which must he, to say the least of it, irksome this hot weather, and might pass the rest of his days in happiness, su ch as he has never known since lie first donned the Imperial purple, spangled with the golden bees. If he doubts this we can refer him to the surviv ing family of Mr. John Smith, otherwise Louis Philippe d'Orleans, who, accompanied by his wife, Mrs. John Smith, otherwise Amelie, Queen of France, started from Treport, in 1848, in an open fishing-boat, and landed at Newhaven, thence to proceed to Claremont, and there to "live happy ever after." THE COMMERCIAL INDEMNITY CORPO RAXION. At the Mansion House, yesterday, the Hon. James Tobin, Mr. Andrew _Clark, Mr. Josiahß. Pearce, Mr. P. Lincoln Carman, Mr. William Frederick Tritton, and Mr. Herbert Lloyd Thomas, directors of the Commercial Indemnity Corporation, underwent a further examination before the Lord Mayor, on the charge of using a pro spectus,,knowing the same to be false in divers material particulars. Mr. Lewis prosecuted,. Mr. F. H. Lewis, Mr. Mon tagu Williams, Mr. F. Mead, and Mr. W. S. Roberts appeared for the defence. On the last occasion Mr. David Parry, accountant, the official liquidator, gave evidence as to the condition of the company, and it will be remembered that it was alleged that not a single share was paid for, and the com pany was ordered to be wound up , after an existence o f a few months. Mr. Parry was now called, and cross-examined by Mr. F. H. Lewis. He said : I have seen Mr. Wheeler, the liquidator of the old company, also Mr. Jenkins, the e. secretary of the new c om p an y , who handed me the minutehoe received boivoekds. from I m do ti not ie find oni that tan any o fdefendants book t s i , ie somenew, a party more than £ l3 2 s. 6 d. In re-examination by Mr. George Lewis, the witness said that the old company ?I d have other only issued about fifteen or sixteen .policies, and beyond that he did not see anything else in the shape of good will for which the new company paid 30,000 shares, some of them hilly paid up. Although Mr. Tobin's name did not appear in the prospectus, he was present at the meetings of the directors, and he was a director of the old company. There was no capital to be called up. There were only three persons, other than the directors, who appeared on the register as shareholders, and their shares, like those of the defendants', were cre dited as fully paid up. Mr. John Edward Wall, insurance agent, replying to Mr. Lewis, said : In January I became agent for the Com mercial Indemnity Corporation, and ceased so to act in May. I effected policies to the amount of £15,000 or £20,000 at non-tariff prices. My remuneration was first 10 per cent. upon the actual premiums received. and subsequently 20 per cent. . It was furnished with a number of small prospectuses, shewing the capital to be £250,000, subscribed £73,790, and paid up £26,290. Among others I gave a copy to Mr. Schleman. I be lieved the statements to be true. I was also furnished with cards, on one side of which there was an almanack, and on the other side an advertisement of the company. I received from Mr. Schleman the amount of premium on the first policy, and paid it to the company. I did not believe the numbers - in the policies were correct, but I did not consider that a matter of any importance. It is a custom among young insurance companies. I was at first chief clerk in the employment of the company, and was appointed by Mr. Braithwaite, the manager, but afterwards became agent, as it was more remunerative. By Mr. Williams : I paid Mr. Schleman's cheque to Mr. Hobson, the manager of the fire department. Mr. Williams : Is it a common practice for young com panies to commence their policies at 1,690, or some such number, and not begin at No. 1 ? Witness : It is done. The Lord Mayor : Call it a trick, and not a common practice. Mr. John Edward Munford, licensed victualler, Green wich, said : I effected a policy in the Commercial In demnity Corporation, but it was destroyed in a fire. It was for £4OO, and I paid £1 premium. I insured through an agent named Hamson. I made a claim against the company for £2BO, but I have not been paid a farthing. I was offered one hundred and thirty pounds in lieu of my claim, and afterwards fifty pounds. A cheque for fifty pounds was said to be ready for me, but I refused to take it. Mr. Hobson said I Would be sorry for it twelve months afterwards. (Laughter.) They offered me some whiskey, but I was afraid they wanted to make me drunk, and would not take any. • (Renewed laughter.) Mr. William Charles Mialls, lamp manufacturer, said he effected a policy in the company for £l,OOO through a Mr. - Parker. The premium was about £5. I never had a policy, but had a receipt for the premium. I had a fire on the 11th June, and paid the cheque about a fortnight before. The amount of my loss was assured by another office, the North British, at £1,700 making the liability of this company £B5O. I went to the office about the claim, and was told the matter was in Chancery. I saw a copy of the prospectus before I insured. I had a conversation with the agent, and he pointed out that £26,000 was paid up. • At this stage the inquiry was adjourned for a . week, and The Lord Mayor stated that he would accept the same bail as before. ENGLAND'S PREPARATIONS. On Thursday about eighty men of the Naval Reserve arrived at Woolwich by steamboat from London and pro ceeded to the practice range adjacent to the Royal Arsenal, where a section of a man-of-war has been erected for their instruction in naval gunnery, through a course of which every man in the reserve has to pass during his annual training. The excellent practice made by the several detachments at the targets proved the care taken in their preliminary drills. A deputation from Woolwich went to Whitehall on the same clay . to see Mr. Cardwell, but found that he was engaged in *Council, and were received by Lord Northbrook. They urged the immediate and entire sale of Woolwich Dockyard, but were informed that accord ing to present arrangements about two-thirds would be sold, the basins only and the grotind to the west being retained for the embarkation of horses and troops in time of war. . _ Mr. N. Barnaby, the president of the commission for carrying out the duties lately discharged by the Chief Constructor of the Navy, has been on a visit to Chatham dockyard, during which he spent some time in the inspec tion of the Sultan, Glatton, and the other ironclad vessels building and fittinc , at that port, and in the transaction of official 100141'0os with. the heagis of the master-shipwright - . —"department. Enlistment is progressing on both sides of the Thames. The majority of the recruits seem to belong to the class of unemployed labourers ; only a few of them are Lon doners, while some respectable-looking and well-dressed young men are among those enlisted by the cavalry ser geants. The Royal Engineers state in their placard the inducements they offer to young men of superior intelli gence and to tradesmen t join. Announcements are also posted that boys under sixteen years will be taken for the Royal Navy, but that any boy who has been in a reformatory is disqualified for the service. The War Office, it is said, have ordered some ambulance waggons from contractors. The Standard is informed, "on the very best autho rity," that there is a lamentable deficiency of proper fuses in store. The reports of experimental trials of the Martini-Henry arm have been issued, together with the remarks of a special committee appointed to consider the same. The committee think it proper to observe that there can be no doubt that the main cause of the miss-fires which have oc curred with the arms was the weakness of the spiral springs as originally issued. The concurrence of opinion on this point appears to be decisive, independently of the information which the Committee have received from other sources. Indeed, it is admitted that the springs were not so strong as those approved by Mr. Martini, who states in his letter that he employs a spring of 401b5., but thinks that 331bs. .will answer. He finds the springs issued in the two arms, presented to him from Enfield; were only 361bs. It also appears that the springs of the 200 experimentl arms were not so strong as those of the arms with which the original experiinent were made, on the success of which was based the recommendation that the rifle should be adopted. The following objections are made to the breech mechanism :—A. That accidents may occur in spite of the bolt and indicator. Six reports contain an expression of opinion that the bolt and indicator are insufficient to afford complete security against accidents. The committee observed that the system is not necessarily attended with danger if the soldiers are properly trained. There is only one instance in which the " pull-off " trigger is complained of as being too strong previous to the substitution of the stronger springs. There is, however, no doubt that the stronger spring has increased the pull-off to an inconvenient degree. The attention of the Superintendent Royal Small-Arms Factory has been called to this point, and he has stated that there will be no difficulty in making the pull-off the same as that of the Enfield rifle. The Committee state that there can be no doubt that for the naval service a shorter rifle would be preferable, and the committee consider that a rifle of the same length as that in use by the Rifle Brigade and 60th Rifles would be more serviceable than a rifle of the present length, for the following reasons, viz.:— The rifle will be lighter, better balanced, and handier ; on the other hand, it will be shorter, as a pike, and not so convenient for firing in two ranks standing, objections which do not seem to have caused the rifle regiments to condemn the short rifle, and which the committee do not think sufficient to weigh against the advantages be fore named: AFFAIRS IN ITALY. The state of public feeling in Italy is still very agitated, and a general outbreak is looked for, A correspondent in Rome, writing on the 7th, says :—" At the Council of Ministers, held yesterday at the Vatican, the resolution was taken to defend Rome at all hazards. The Pope him self is most averse to receiving an Italian gar rison, and signed the order for resistance with the greatest willingness. If the frontier is indefensible, the troops will fall back on Rome and Civita Vecchia, and hold out as long as a charge of ammunition lasts. The barricades will be raised round the gates as in 1867, and the urban guard of gentlemen volunteerss, com manded by the Marchese Patrizi, will be called out this week. A similar corps will be formed of strangers, under the command of the Comte de Christen, and. both will undertake the service within the walls. Everything announces a rapid return to the situation before Mentana, ; one of the Pontifical sentries was fired at, and dangerously wounded last night while on the bastions of St. Salvatore, on the Fort of St. Angelo. Another incident of the same nature, but with a different result, happened at the Zecca, or Mint. The sentinel on guard observed a priest, who followed his steps, and attempted to get behind him. He gave a challenge, and receiving no answer, fired, without effect. The priest took to his heels, and another sentry further on fired on him, also apparently without hitting him. Later on, however, the supposed priest was found by the police with a ball in the thigh, and being taken to the station turned out to be a well-known Mazzinian agent, for whom the police have long been in search, and he acknowledged his design of assassinating the sentry. Every sign is observable of coming events of a very serious nature. Prussia, while forbidding Italy under pain of war to occupy the Ponti fical States, is secretly subsidising the Garibaldians, and M. Von Comins, on leaving Rome the other day, went from Leghorn to Caprera to confer with the General, who has returned there. " THE MAP OF EUROPE." The map of Europe will probably undergo a number of important alterations before the present war is ended. It has been altered frequently, and in several ways, and in many places, during the last ten or twelve years. The map of Europe was changed in 1859, when Napoleon, after breaking the power of Austria, tore from her Lom bardy, and delivered the province over to Victor Emanuel. It was still further altered at the same time, when Napoleon, in return for his services to Italy, de manded from her Nice and Savoy, which immediately ceased to belong to the Italian Kingdom, and became a part of the territory of France, It was altered soon afterward, by the revolutionary movements through which the separate political existence of the Duchies of Tuscany, Parma, and Modena, and most of the States of the Church, was obliterated, and their allegiance trans ferred to the King of Italy. It was again altered by Gari baldi in 1860, when the Kingdom of Naples was 'blotted out ; and when, finally, Italy, which had previously been merely a "geographical expression," became almost en tirely united under one Government, the sovereign of which was the former King of Sardinia. The map of Europe was again changed in another quarter in 1.1365, when the armies of Austria and Prussia made war upon Denmark, and tore from that ancient kingdom the Ddchies of Schleswig and Holstein, which were finally an nexed to the territory of Prussia. It suffered still an other change in 1866, when, at the close of the Prusso- Austrian war, Prussia obliterated the Kingdom of Hanover, seized the city of Frankfort, and established • tile North German Confederation in its present shape ; while Italy acquired Venetia and the small portion of Lombardy which remained to Austria after the war of 1859. By these extensive alterations in the map of Europe, two important kingdoms (Naples and Hanover), beside numerous minor States, have been blotted out. Italy has gained territory which Austria has lost, beside her other gains on the Italian Peninsula itself. France has gained territory which Italy has lost. Prussia has gained territory which Denmark has lost, beside her other gains in Germany itself. A map of Europe ten or twelve years old is quite worthless now ; and it is not impossible that the map of the present day may be altered so as to be " out of date" before the close of the year. If, for ex ample, France 'should overthrow Prussia—an event which seems extremely unlikely—the French Emperor will un doubtedly seize the Prussian territory west of the Rhine, and annex it to his own empire. It appears also by the proposed treaty, lately published, ‘ that he would then also make an attempt to acquire" the Duchy of Luxem bourg and " absorb " the Kingdom of Belgium. We may also suppose. that, in order to cripple his prostrate Prussian adversary he would permit Denmark to get back Schleswig-Holstein and would reestablish the inde pendence of Hanover. But if, on the other hand, Prussia were triumphant over France, King William might seize and annex to his dominions the French provinces of . Alsace and Lorraine, might take the province of Jutland from Denmark, and might consolidate the Confedera tions of North and South Germany into one great Confederated Empire. If Austria were to take any part in hostilities, it is probable that before their close we should see alterations in her map of a very serious character. If France suffer defeat, we shall certainly see another alteration in the map of Italy that will render further changes of it unnecessary. We shall see the temporal sovereignty of the Pope abolished, and Rome become an integral part (doubtless the capital) of the United Kingdom of Italy. It is useless, however, to indulge in further conjectures or speculations as to the probable alterations of the European map, which has been altered so frequently and extensively during the last few years.—New York Tribune. THE FLIGHT HOMEWARDS. - Upwards of 200 applications are daily made at the Embassy at Paris alone for passports by British subjects deterred from foreign tours, and even by old residents in Paris who fear the chance of war, and, still more, the dangers of revolution. The boats from Dover and Folkestone are empty, while the packets from Calais and Boulogne are overcrowded. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WINDSOR RACES. —FRIDAY. The Welter Cup. About one mile.

Napier, were brought before the Lord Mayor for final ex amination on the charge of casting away that vessel with intent to defraud the underwriters. The case has been already fully reported, and it will be remembered that the vessel was cast away on the Bth of June last. Alexander M`Kenzie, a former captain of the vessel was now called, and produced a number of letters written to him by Gullies, urging him to send the vessel to the bottom, and promising him, if he did so, to give him a sum of money and the command of a new vessel. The case for the prosecution was now con cluded, but the prisoners were formally remanded till Thursday next, when the depositions will be completed. LAW AND POLICE. ASSAULT ON A GOVERNMENT CLERK.-At Bow-street, John Germyn was charged with an aggravated assault on Mr. John Frederick Tomlinson, a clerk in the Patent Office. It appeared that on the 25th June, the prisoner, who is a fireman belonging to the Patent Office, had, as usual, procured the prosecutor's luncheon. While the latter was eating it, he received a violent .blow on the head, which for some moments took away his senses. On partially recovery, he saw the prisoner stand ing by looking very wild, and immediately closed with him. After a severe struggle, one rolling over the other, the prisoner got up, ran away, and jumped out of the window, to the ground, a distance of forty-three feet. Mr. Tomlinson gave an alarm, and P.C. 44 A came and made a search for the prisoner, finding him eventually in a closet insen sible, with his throat cut. He Was immediately taken to the hospital, where he had been until to-day. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner. was a well con ducted man, and he believed would not have committed the attack, except he was labouring under an aberation of intellect. It was stated that two or three years since he fell down a flight of stone steps, receiving injuries in the head, which had produced deafness, and at time wan dering of the mind,—The prisoner was committed for trial. Mn. GRENVILLE MIIERAL—IR the Bankruptcy Court o'lo case in re Grenville Murray was heard. This was a bankruptcy under the Act of 1869. The bankrupt was alleged to be one of the proprietors of a newspaper called the Queen's Messenger. Some months back he charged Lord Carington, at the Marlborough-street Police-court, with an assault for having struck him at the door of a club in Pall-mall, when Lord Carington complained of attacks alleged to . have been made upon himself and certain members of his family in the columns of that publication by Mr Grenville Murray. The usual forms necessary upon adjudications were gone through, and a day was appointed for the proof of debts and choice of a trustee, and the appointment of a com mittee of inspection. AN UNNATURAL PARENT.—At the Guildford assizes, Elizabeth Steadman, 33, was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Ilosina Steadman, at No. 6, Victoria place, Old Kent-road, with intent to do her grievous bodily harm. This was a painful case, the pri soner being charged with cutting the throat of her own child, an infant of three years old. The evidence left no room for doubt as to the com mission of the offence, and the medical testimony shewed that the wound in the childs throat, an incision some 2i inches in length, although not absolutely dangerous, was serious enough. The jury found the prisoner gu ilty, but there being some doubt about her state of mind at the time of the commission of the offence, his Lordship de ferred passing sentence until an inquiry as to her sanity should be made by the prison surgeon.
