Supplied to the British, French, Prussian, Russian Italian, Dutch, and other Governments. Dr. Lankester writes regarding Extract of Meat :—"But there is a difference in flavour, and here, as in all other kinds of food, it is the flavour that makes the quality." 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 Amsterdam, and is so universally preferred in all Filropean markets.

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. Fos 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 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 chester Courier. " From back to back ' Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is full of matter interesting equally to the tourist and the ordinary reader. It is written in an easy and pleasant style, and is well 'got up."— Eastern Morning News. We cannot part with this fascinating little work without con gratulating Mr. Spender upon it. Addressed, as it more especially is, to travellers in Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, it is, nevertheless, a book that will afford the keenest gratifica tion to the general public. . . . As to its literary merits we need say nothing, the name of the author being sufficient guarantee on this point."—Western Mail. "The articles sh r ew unusual power of observation, are full of genial gossip, and supply just what the excursionist wants- - reliable information."—Western Daily Press.

Ey Edward Newman F.L.S., F.Z.S. 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. Each moth is drawn from nature by George Willis, and engraved in his best style by John Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species ; arid if varieties require it, three, four, five, and even six figures are given. The work is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at 6d. each. The work is also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at Is. 6d. each part. Part X. now 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."—Daily Telegraph. "It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species, and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advanti 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 text-hook by a high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste folly 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. Newm.in'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 reade rs . We regard it as a very useful addition to our library." Land and Waler, Oct. 9. - - London—W. Twizpia. 337. Strand. W.O. Just published, price is Gd., by post Is.

The absurdity of the policy of longer proscribing Southern men for the part they took in the war was glar ingly illustrated by the Senate, in refusing to remove the political disabilities of Gustavus W. Smith and Basil W. Duke. Smith was a Northern man who left a good office in this city to take a poor one at the South, and who was treated while holding it with the con tempt and suspicion which are naturally visited upon traitors even by their fellows. Duke was a Kentuckian who made a little reputation of a doubtful kind by riding rough - shod with John Morgan .over his native State. Neither has had much influence for evil since the close of the war. What little they did possess would have been gone as soon as they were fully pardoned by the Government they had fought against ; the little re spect of their fellows would have been lost to them the moment they were relieved of the penalty of their treason.' The Senate, in declining to relieve them, simply dignifies them in the eyes of their former followers, and gives them occasion to hate and more power to harm. And what is urged of these men applies with equal force to such others as ex-Senators Nicholson of Tennessee and Johnson of Arkansas, whose names were stricken from the General Disabilities Bill at a later hour of the day. The action of the Senate in these cases is a strong argument for General Amnesty. —New York Tribune. A partial strike of weavers has taken place at Rochdale. It is stated that about 100 persons, who had been employed in weaving '1 cloths, were required by their employer (Mr. Duncan) to weave "domestics." They refused to weave domestics at the same price as T cloths, and as domestics bad been woven at the same price before, Mr, Duncan refused to grant an advance, and the weavers went out on strike. A dense fog has prevailed in the Channel, parti cularly between Jersey and Guernsey, for several days past ; the Channel Islands mail packets have been unable to reach Jersey in consequence. A ship of one thousand tons burden has been wrecked on one of the Channel Islands in consequence of the fog. The ship was lost, but all hands on board were saved. A steamer also struck on one of the islands ; after lightening her she was got off.

ANOTHER BURGLARY AT TWICKENHAM.-011 Wednesday a daring robbery was perpetrated at the resi dence of Mrs. Jones, Southcote Cottage, Richmond•road, Twickenham. Mrs. Jones, her daughter, and two servants left home for a drive at about four o'clock in the afternoon in question. At about half-past five a son of Mrs. Jones returned from London, and found the garden gate and front door both unlocked. A further examina tion skewed that both locks had been picked, and it was afterwards discovered that a quantity of jewellery had_ been taken from the bedroom of Mrs. Jones to the value 'of upwards of £5O. £2,500 FOR LOSS OF A WIFE: In the Divorce Court, on Saturday, a special jurygranted damages to the amount of £2,500 against the co-respon; dent in the cause of " Broad v. Broad and Bird." It was a husband's petitionfor a dissolution of his marriage on the ground of his wiee's adultery with the co-respondent. The petitioner was an officer in the navy, who rendered dis tinguished service in the Crimea, China, and India. lie was at the taking of florid itdrig, and comptlled, in 1867, by his professional duties to go to. China. He left his wife at Weymouth in charge of a relative, and soon after her 'kusband's departure, she made the acquaintance of the co-respondent, and on the a1p0n0i4 ,,, ,y after .tie introduction ho committed adulte with „her. She subsequently-was confined- - which the co-respondent,who was a Lieutenant in the 51st Reginient. was the father. Several letters were read, which left no doubt as to the terms on which the respondent and co-respondent were.—Mr. Bayford,for the co-respondent, did not deny the adultery, but contended that the case was not one which called for heavy damages. —The jury found for the petitioner, with £2,500 damages.. —Lord Penzance granted a decree nisi for a dissolution of the marriage. THE WIMBLEDON MEETING. Contrary to the original regulations laid down, the prize list was not closed on Friday, more than one of the com petitions being allowedto stand over until Saturday morn ing. For all practical purposes, however, the shooting might as well have been concluded for not a single rifle was discharged on Friday, and the Hit of scores already published has contained the names of the win ners, with one exception—the successful competitors in the " Comblain " Prize. The Wimbledon meeting is, therefore, concluded, and nothing now remains to be done but the removal of the various camps and erections Which have studded the ground during the last fortnight. And this work is pro ceeding rapidly enough. The thousands of flags which have been displayed during the gathering are no longer visible, and the tents are being gradually struck. Prob ably by to-night little will be left to denote that such a large gathering has taken place upon the common, except it be a legacy in the shape of several inches of dust. Never during the annals of the National Rifle Associa tion has there been such a pleasant and at the same time purely business like meeting. The officials are satisfied with the men, and the volunteers to a man are grateful to the officials. This being the case, it is sufficient evi dence that throughout the gathering everything has worked smoothly and well. Not a single incident occurred until Friday to mar the even course of the meeting, and we apprehend that nothing could have happened to cast such a gloom as the painful news which was received with reference to the unfortunate accident to Lord Elcho's son. There is not a more popular officer in the Volunteer force than Lord Elcho, and the sympathy which was expressed from one end of the common to the other.was heartfelt and genuine. The abandonment of the presentation of the prizes by the Princess of Teck was a step which was commended on all sides, and the withdrawal of such an interesting ceremony was lost sight of and forgotten in the general wish of all to express sympathy with Lord Elcho on the unhappy occurrence. With regard to the attendance at Wimbledon, it has been unequalled in any former year, both as to the number of volunteers and the amount paid by the general public for admission at the gates. It is impossible to give a rough Estimate even of the numbers which have from day to day visited th e C ommon . The " gate money " only accounts for a small proportion of spectators compared with those who have been admitted by ticket, and, after gun-fire, free of charge. Still, we have the fact that, on payment up to Friday night, no less than 25,000 persons had been admitted ; and if we take a moderete computation, there will to-day be 15,000 on the ground, giving a gross total of 40,000 visitors—a number far in excess of previous meetings. The "Peek Prize," which was not declared on Friday, as there was a protest entered, has since been decided, and the winner of the 50 guineas is Lieut. Whitelow, of the 102nd Lanark. The result of the "comblain " is as follOWs THE COMBLAIN PRIZE.-200, 500, and 800 yards.— Captain Burt, Ist Warwick, 153 points, £ lO an d Com blain Rifle ; Pri';ate Buxton, Bth Derby, 148, 25 and the Comblain Rifle ; Colour-Sergeant Brooks, 12th Middlesex, 145, £5 only; Corporal .Peake, 6th Lancers, 135, £5 ; Corporal Frost, 26th Kent, 133, £5 ; Sergeant Ragg, Ist Warwick, 126, £5 ; Private M orr i s , I s t H ants, 119, £5; Sergeant Bott R Marmes, 118 ; £5 ; Sir Charles Shakesly, sth Chester, 105, £5.

DireetOd the campaign of 1866, signalised on the 3rd July in that year kir the terrific victory of Konig gratz or Sadowa. General Melthe's reputation as a great master of the art of war is second only to that of the great American general Robert Lee, the some-time Com mander-in-Chiefof the Confederates. GENERAL HIZIYARTII VON BITTZNYIELD.—Generai rota Bittenfield is a vary old soldier. He was born in 1796, and took part in the campaign of 1813. After fifty years of peac6 ho fuse tO the rank of general in 1863, and soon after chewed his qtality by directing the successful expe dition against Alsen 1n . 1866 he comuinuded the army of Elbe, and won groat distinction daring that memorable campaign. He is now at Coblentz, and will be ono_ of the first to bear the sho* of the PretiCh ft!.ms. He has just issued a proclamation to the inhabitants a his district, in which document he serves out unstinted condonation of the Emperor and his subordinates. GENEUAL FALKENSTEIN.—E. V, on Falkenstein probably an even abler commander than the preceding. He, too, began military life in ISI3, and ?served in the glb7Pctig Votary of the Katzbach and at Mont :nil-ail. Fo* bis services in these engagement,: w2p,..,..progiateil t In the Danish campaign he ro:ie to the ranli r of genera!, Tirthis Cl:pacity his ties soon shone prominently. He took command of the operations in the \Vest, heading the army of the Mein, which had at once to dispose of both the Bavarian and Hanoverian fires. This Falkenstein accomplished with much skit} ; attackinc , and defeating each in detail. He first assaulted and captured the Hanoverian army, and then proceeded southwards to attack the Bavarians, soon occut/ing Frankfort and scatter ing the South German forces. He afterwards gained an unenviable reputation for his harsh treatment of the people of Frankfort—treatment gel barbarous that the whole civilised world cried out against it. The burgomaster of the city actually committed suicide. Falkenstein has, much to the astonishment of most people, returned to the scene of his notoriety. He has been appointed to the command of the Bavarian Army. The Bavarians will probably not like the man, but they may at any rate console themselves with the assurance that they have a most skilful general;, WAR ITEMS. AUSTRIA AND RUSSIA.—The Government hero has decided, in order to preserve the strictest neutrality during the war, not to make any military preparations whatever. The troops are to remain at their present stations all that will he done will be to complete the prescribed number of artillery waggons, 80 as to provide for unforseen contingencies. This, however, will cause no excess in the peace establishment of the army. The Fprincipal Russian papers publish articles favourable to rance. The Exchange Gazette is opposed to any increase of the influence of Prussia in the east and among the Slavonic rat. The Goloss expresses a hope that Europe will be spared the spectacle of Prussian dynastic war." Themost influential °rod . of the Prussian press, the Moscow Gazette, urges that France cannot permit herself to be summ.ded and accuses Prince Gortchakoff of having neglected Russian interests in taking the part of Pruetia,---Eastern Budget. ENGLAND PROTECTS BELGIC:U.—The attitude of England, says the Spectator, is noteworthy. The leading statesmen on both sides are clearly of opinion that Ger many is in the right, and silently anxious about Belgium, which we believe the Cabinet has deckled to protect. The Government, however, though it has ordered important preparations, maintains a determined neutrality, has issued a proclamation warning all British subjects to abstain from assisting either power, has refused Captain Hozier permission to visit the Prussian camp as corre spondent. of the Times newspaper, has deprecated debate in the Commons on the War, has purposely delayed the production of papers, and has hinted moderation to the Press. All that is well, more especially as Indemity Acts for measures of precaution are known . to the British Con stitution, and one great squadron at all events can be recalled by telegraph ; but if the Commons think they will get away in a mouth, they have sanguine views of the situation. There must be, at all events, some authori tative expression of Parliamentary opinion on our relations with Belgium. If the " policy of reticence" now in the ascendant is persisted in too long the country will be taken unprepared. W m uY NAPOLEON HESITATES.—The limes corre spondent says :—" Exactly a week has elapsed since M. Benedetti stopped the King of Prussia in the Kurgartems at Ems • still, contrary to common expectation, not a shot has yet been fired by the French. One would have imagined that a Sovereign resorting to such extraordinary means for bringing on war would have completed his preparations beforehand, and would have been ready to follow up the bark by the bite. Such, in fact, were the intentions of Napoleon, and if he desisted from them, his hesitatation is due less to a fault in his original plan than to a sudden fit of caution. From information received here there can he no doubt that the Emperor immediately after the rupture meant to hurl the troops of Chalons into Central Germany, thus separating the North from the South, and rendering it more easy for the disaffected elements in the latter to side with him. But the marvel- lous rapidity with which a Prussia;forCT;;; concen trated on the Rhine, and the cry of indignation which resounded from one end of Germany to the other when the news of his latest coup d'etat in telegraphic terseness spread from city to city, from district to district, pre vented him from carrying out his design. THE POLICY OF DENMAILK.—A military corms- pondent of the Tdegraph, has the following :—Denmark has cause to hate Prussia, and is believed to be only waiting her chance of revenge ; while rumours are already abroad as to an alliance with France. Let anyone look at the map, and study the position of Denmark as re gards Kiel, Hamburg, and Berlin, and he will understand how high France should bid for her alliance. While the attention of Prussia is fixed upon the Rhine, and her main strength is collected about Mayence and Frankfort, or even further south, let a French army be thrown into Denmark—and, joined by the Danes, Hamburg and Kiel, and with them much of Prussia's sea forces, must fall. Hanover would probably sympathise with the in vaders ; and based on Denmark and the sea the allied army would be in a position to march direct on Berlin. It is true, some such manoeuvre might be attempted without the co-operation of Denmark ; but in that case it could be only a diversion. In the other event it would be the decisive stroke ; and so little chances are there of de livering such a blow elsewhere, that it is difficult to believe the French Emperor would have hurried on the war, unless he had reason to count on being able to make a movement either through Denmark on the north, or through Austria on the south. It may appear that the operations on the Upper Rhine have been ignored altogether. Of course, France will make demonstrations about Strasbourg, Thisach, &c. ; and, on the other side, attempts will be made, with more or less vigour, to pass the Rhine and distract attention by a real or pretende invasion of France. But, considering the strength of the line presented by the Rhine, the fortresses of Strasbourg, &c., and behind them the Vosges, the French can afford to disregard such movements while they are playing for higher stakes elsewhere. THE MISERIES OF CORRESPONDENTS.—The corres pondent of the Standard, writing from Metz on Thurs day, has the following on the correspondent question : After having posted my letter yesterday morning I re ceived a despatch from Paris to the effect that no journalist home or foreign (here I am amongst the foreign, would be allowed to go to the front. Further, that no foreign officer even would be permitted to follow the operations ; and that any one forcing sentry or found in camp would be shot. " The latter clause, doubtless," added the friend who had failed to obtain me a safe conduct, "is something of an exaggeration." Very much of an exaggeration I should say; for, as I have told you already, one of my first adventures here was to forcer la consigne, and instead of lying dead like the Emperor Maximilian, lam alive, cheery, and unharmed. Still, this news of the impossibility of obtaining a pass is not encouraging. There is a perfect colony of French journalists here ; M. d'Aunay, of the Figaro, elbows M. elaretie, of the Rappel, and the representative of the free ' and easy little Belgian Etoile treads on the corns of the military reporter of that punctiliously but most ferociously pacific journal the Univers, of Paris and Rome. Some of our London contemporaries have also sent out gentlemen to record the interesting events on the cards. I have had the unhappy privilege tc tell them they could not accompany head-quarters, and . they are now walking about with their fi ngers in their mouths, gazing up at the statue of General Fabert in his coat of mail in the Place Napoleon, or con templating the innocent fishes from the parapets of one or other of the many bridges that span the blue Moselle. For the present, correspondents at Metz know absolutely nothing of what is going to happen, and far less of what is taking place around them than peopl e i n P ar i s d o ; and if they pretend to an intimacy with the intended move ments they simply "eat dirt," to borrow a polite Orien talism. From private sources of information, and not from anything 1 have seen here, I think I am safe in asserting that there will be nothing serious till on or about the 98th instant—that is to say, about Thursday next. There may be affairs of outposts and the kind, but no engagement on a grand scale. In the meantime lam not without hopes that the rigour of the order shutting out correspondents may be relaxed.
