A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IN NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL, AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS. BY EDWARD SPENDER PRICE 35. "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 expi '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, 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 hi 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 `)ack `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 styl , and is well 'got up."'— Eastern Morning News. '• We cannot part with this fascinating little work without con gratulating Mr. Spender upon it. Addressed, as it more especially is, to travellers in Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, itris, 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.

LIEBIG COMPANY'S EXTRACT OF MEAT. FOUR GOLD MEDALS. Supplied to the British, French, Prussian, Russian, Italian, Dutch, and other Governments. Dr. Lankester writes rep riling Extract of Meat :—"But there is a difference in flavour, and here, as in all other kinds o 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 European markets.

" Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work will be invaluable.' Telegraph. " It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species, and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great 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 text-book by a 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.

" One of the most elegant, comfortable, and economical hotels in the three kingdoms.' --The Field, July 31, 1869. THE ST. GO TH ARD RAILWAY. One of the prObable results of the present war between France and Prussia may be the delaying for an indefinite period of the completion of the St. Gothard Railway, about which there has been such a turmoil in the French political world. The sum required to complete this rail way is $20,000,000, of which a portion only has as yet been subscribed. $2,000,000 are to be contributed by the North German Confederation, $4,000,000 by Switzer land, $600,000 by Baden, $400,000 by Wurtemberg, 1,400,000 dols. by Genoa, 500,000 dols. by Milan, and 200,000 dols. by the Upper Italian railways. The utility of the St. Gothard line, however, seems doubtful, unless for political mid military purposes. And here it may be stated, as a curious circumstance, that the first news of the probable war between France and Prussia which reached Habana was in a Cable telegram to a foreign merchant there as follows :—` e Prussia refuses to give explanations about the Saint Gothard Rail road. War imminent." Nothing was said about this in other despatches. It is certain, never theless, that the question of a new railroad to connect North Germany with Italy through Switzer land by means of a tunnel beneath St. Gothard, has been the occasion of serious apprehension on the part of the French. The Alps have four principal passages— that of Mont Cenis, where a tunnel has been nearly finished, the Simplon, the St. Gothard and the Splugen. The first lies between Savoy and Italy, the other three between Switzerland and Italy. Austria, as is well known, covets a railroad by the Splugen pass as much as North Germany desires a connection by way of St. Gothard. A treaty between Italy, Switzerland, and North Germany for the construction of a tunnel under the latter mountain was signed on the 20th of June last, North Germany agreeing to pay its subvention before the Ist of January next, the time for completing the tunnel being fixed at 12 years. The plan of Prussia was comprehensive, and involved the building of a railroad that should connect its ports on the North Sea, by way of Bavaria, Wurtemburg, Baden, and Switzerland with the ports of Trieste and Brindisi" — Philadelphia Ledger. rHE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.

STATISTICS OF AMERICAN COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION. From the report .;itheiTureau of Statistics at Washing ton, just published, we learn that for the 11 months end ing May 31, 1870, the exports to foreign countries amounted in value to 385,940,711 dols., and the foreign imports to 421,935,617 dole. Of the imports there were exported again 27,769,377 dols. In the exports there is in cluded specie to the amount of 38,194,999 dols. This is not a very satisfactory exhibit. The balance of imports over exports, including the export of specie and bullion, was largely against us, even after reckoning the 27,769,377 dols. of exports of foreign goods. Still this was an improvement over the corresponding period of 1869, the year before. The imports for that period in 1869 amounted to 397,660,918 dols., and the exports to 290,348,991. So we see that not only has the foreign trade increased in 1870, but our domestic exports were much larger, and approached nearer to the imports. This is healthy progress, though the balance is still against us. This balance has been paid by our national securities exported to Europe. Among the commodities exported raw cotton swells up to an enormous figure. The value for the eleven months ending May 31, 1870, in specie, was 215,498,206 dols. This amounted to nearly three-fifths of our entire exports. Breadstuffs come next, which amounted to 66,071,136 dole ; provisions to 26,971,595 dols ; petroleum oil to 28,099,939 dols ; and gold and silver to 38,194,999 dols. A large proportion of the balance of trade against us arises from the carrying trade being in the hands of foreigners. Out of 8,270,689 tons of , shipping that were entered, 5,156,861 were foreign and only 3,113,828 were American. The foreign and American tonnage cleared was nearly in the same proportion. The largest item of imports was that of sugar and mo lasses. The amount was 60,087,100 dols. This ought to convince our Government of the importance of acquiring the rich sugar producing countries of the West Indies on our border. IVe could not only become independent of the rest of the world for sugar, but could have a mono poly of this commodity for export as we now have of cotton. . Not less important, or more important just now, is it to increase our shipping and to get a larger share of the profits of the carrying trade. No more favourable opportunity could have occurred to do this than that afforded by the war in Europe. There is a large fleet of splendid steamships besides sailing vessels ready to be transferred to American ownership and under the American flag if our absurd and runious registry and navigation laws were abolished or suspended. It is hardly possible to calculate the amount of tonnage that would be added to our mer cantile marine, especially if the war should spread or continue long in Europe. There would be, undoubtedly, a rapid and large increase of tonnage. The President saw this when the news came from Europe, and wisely urged Congress to suspend the registry and naviga tion laws. But that body had not the sense or patriotism to act upon his recommendation. Though some time has been lost, it is not too late now to seize the advantage offered to build up our depressed shipping interests, and to largely increase our tonnage. We advise the President, therefore, to call without delay an extra session of Congress for the purpose of considering our shipping and mercantile interests in this crisis.—New York Herald. THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. Reviewing the harvest work of the last w eek the Magnet says it has again been rapidly . proceeded with, no untoward circumstance having transpired to check opera tions. With a few isolated exceptions the grain has been secured in Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester, and all counties more southerly situated, and it seems more than probable that with another fortnight of dry weather the harvest in these isles will have been brought to a conclusion under most favourable auspices. Nothing has transpired since we last wrote to alter our opinion as to the ultimate yield of the crops. We are still disposed to maintain that the growth of wheat per acre, although very variable, is still u p t o the average. One fact, however, which will probably influence values to some extent, must not be lost sight of, namely, that the low prices current for weat since last harvest, and the comparative high range in the currencies of spring corn caused farmers to place less land under wheat than usual, therefore the actual quantity of grain secured can not be called an average crop. One decided feature in fay our of this year's growth is the plumpness and dry ness of the grain rendering it immediately available for the market. Further accounts with reference to the spring corn crops do not lead us to alter our opinion that it will fall considerably short of the average. Roots generally are well spoken of, and despite the late severe drought, a good crop of man,golds and swedes will be got in, and will thus assist in relieving the expense likely to be incurred by g raz i ers an d b ree d ers , during the winter months, through the failure of the hay crop. The pastures and meadow lands have slightly improved, but there is still a great scarcity of food for stock. According to Bell's Weekly Messenger we have been particularly fortunate this year as regal' Is the weather during the harvest season. The crops have been carried with great rapidity, and the harvest in England may now be regarded as completed. Wheats have been generally secured in excellent condition ; so much so that in some instances thrashing has at once been proceeded with, and the produce has been sent direct to market. Cases have occurred where carrying has been retarded in consequence of frequent and heavy storms, but these are exceptional, and the subsequent dry weather has reme died any damage that otherwise resulted. Even now, notwithstanding the somewhat liberal supplies of new produce sent forward, it is hazardous to venture a final opinion upon the results of the crop. The account received from different parts of the country vary greatly ; but the yield, as we have already pointed out, has chiefly depended upon the character of the soil and the time of sowing. When large quantities of wheat have been thrashed out we shall be better able to judge of the result of the harvest ; but the opinions we have expressed all along appear to have been amply verified so far. The new wheats exhibited at Mark lane have beep. of good quality and in excellent condition, and the supplies have been rather large. The barley crop is very irregular, and oats are very deficient : these two may be regarded as the worst crops of the year, though some excellent samples of barley have come under our notice. Beans and peas are deficient, though less so than was at one time anticipated. The Mark Lane Express says the weather in the mid land and southern counties during the past week has been all that could be desired for the har vest, but towards the close there were heavy rains in Yorkshire, threatening the outstanding crops, and farmers were consequently less disposed to offer their samples in the expectation of better prices. Wheat has been falling in France while flour has been rising at Paris, from the scarcity of the manafactured article, and shews plainly enough the fear of a Prussian advance upon an unprovided city. Prices generally throughout Europe have been gradually tending downwards, and supplies are coming freely to Odessa, but the fall here and in France is likely to check heavy shipments. The weather hitherto has been as favourable to Prussia as the war, and though the want of hands must delay the gathering, they may yet be saved in good condition ; but should a peace be speedily , concluded, we do not anywhere find so great an abun dance as to sanction the return to very low prices. The Orchestra learns from private sources that the parting scene between the King of Denmark and the Princess of Wales lately, was heartrending. The Corriere del Campo of Naples publishes a despatch from Palermo, announcing that Joseph Mazzini has been transferred'on board a ship of war, where he is to await the decision of the Minister. The marriage of Mr. George Sackville Frederick Lane Fox, eldest son of Mr. George Lane Fox, of Bram ham Park, and Miss Slade, daughter of General Marcus Slade, is arranged to take place on the 10th of next month. The petition against the return of Mr. Gwynne Holford, recently elected for Brecon, in the room of Lord Clarendon, has been duly presented, and the recognis ances entered into for prosecuting it. It is not expected to be heard before October. The North German Lloyd's Company have issued a circular, expressing a belief that the success of the Ger man army will shortly enable them to publish the dates of departure of their ships for New York, Baltimore, New Orleans, Havannah, Japan, and China. Mr. Thomas Parsons, barrister-at-law, who has from time to time been addressing a number of extraor dinary letters to her Majesty the Queen, under the nom de plume of " The Washerwoman of INlelbourne," has committed suicide at Melbourne in a very singular manner. TILE GERMAN VESSELS IN PORT.—There are nine large North German ocean steamers now lying in the port of New York, unable to sail for Hamburg or Bremen for fear of capture by French cruisers, unauthorised to dis charge their crewsin a foreign port, and not allowed to register themselves under the flag of safety—the flag of the. United States. There are also twenty-seven sailing vessels in the same predicament. If anything can exemplify the stupidity of Congress in refusing to admit foreign vessels to American register this startling exhibit does so. The expense to which these steamers and sailing vessels are subjected probably aggregates fourteen thousand dollars per day,and there is no relief for them except in the cessation of the war. It may be, too, that the French steamers will be tied up in just the same way when the Prussian navy gets more of it cruisers afloat. As it is now here is over two million dollars' worth of property which we need lying at our door useless and unused through the cul pable neglect of Congress.— New York Herald. ALLEGED FRADDHON THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY. — At the Mansion House, Joseph Thomas Avery (28), Edward Avery (19) his brother, John Jordan (22), John Parsonage (42), and Peter Johnson Badger (24), were brought up on remand before Mr. Alderman Carter, charged with being concened in a conspiracy to defraud the Great Eastern Railway Company.—The prisoners were charged with being concerned in frauds which, it was stated, had been carried on for several years. Joseph Avery was a clerk in the booking-office at Fenchurch-street,where tickets are issued for Blackwall and other stations on that part of the Great Eastern Railway system. His brother was not connected with the railway, but was a frequent traveller on the line. Jordan and Badger were ticket-collectors, and Parsonage was a custom-house messenger. Tickets, after being issued at Feirhurch-street, are "nicked" on the stairs, and given up in that stat e at the station at the other end. The usual course would then be to send the tickets to the general office, but it was proved that many of these tickets were • brought back to Fenchurch-street, and re-issued for the sake of a small sum of money, or a glass of beer. When Joseph Avery was apprehended twenty-eight " nicked" tickets and £6 in gold were found in his pos session. In the possession of the younger Avery and Jordan and Badger were also found "nicked " tickets, and according to the evidence of a young man who had been watching the prisoners, Parsonage stated that he had tra velled on the line for twelve or fifteen years, and had never paid for a ticket except on six or seven occasions. In the three days that followed the arrest of the elder Avery the receipts at the Fenchurch-street booking-office rose £lO. The prisoners were further remanded till Fri day next, and bail was refused. AUGUST 23, 1870. WEAPONS OF THE TWO ARMIES. Nothing is more natural than that reports precisely contradictory of each other should reach us concerning the efficiency of the weapons of the French and Prussian armies. We printed lately a telegraphic dispatch epitomising an article from the London Times, in which it is argued that the French arm, the Chassepot, on account of its fouling speedily, will prove far less effective than the. needle-gun. On the same page we printed extracts from the Parisian name sake of this journal, the Temps, setting forth that the needle-gun must necessarily, from its construction, foul sooner than the Chassepot, and that consequently the French must possess in this respect an immense advantage. The comparative merit of the weapons will soon be, if it has not already been, put to crucial test. In the meantime it is hardly necessary to point out that in all human probability the Prussian Government has made numerous secret, experiments with the Chassepot, and that it is quite certain the French authorities have done the same thing by the needle-gun. Some years have elapsed since both weapons were invented, and that the two armies now facing each other would ultimately have to confront them has been nearly as certain as that the sun shines. It is absurd under such circumstances to suppose that the qualities of either gun are to burst upon the leaders to whom they are opposed in the nature of a surprise. The finesse attributed to the Berlin Government as regards the explosive bullets of the Baden troops should also be taken with grains of allowance. As the story is related by the Metz correspondent of the Siecle, Prussia contem plates in this matter an act of perfidy that would gain her the reprobation of the whole civilised world. Baden, we are told, refused to sign the agreement by which the five Great European Powers bound themselves not to use the explosive bullet. The theory of civilized war consists, not in killing your enemy, but in putting him hors decombat. Ordinary projectiles wound far oftener than they kill, so that with them this end is attained. But with the ex plosive balls every man hit is killed. Now, Prussia and France are debarred from using these terrible implements, but Baden, who fights side by side with Prussia, can use them at pleasure. It is threatened, in retaliation, that France will use a similar projectile, the exact nature of which has been kept a secret, but which is said to be fearfully destructive. We believe that neither side will use explosive bullets at all, since, apart from any considerations of humanity, the injuries inflicted by both would neutralise each other, while a common odium would rest on both. The opinion seems for the moment to be gaining ground that the new weapons, instead of hastening, will have a tendency to postpone decisive results. It is thought that, inasmuch as the old theory of the writers on war, imputing the advantage to the assailant, is rendered obsolete by these weapons, which, it is claimed, rather throw superiority on the side of the defence, a campaign must consist of sieges and tactical combinations, rather than of swift and conclusive engagements in the open field. No such lightning movements as those of Napoleon the Great, which, beginning at Jena and Auer stadt, October 14, 1806, placed him in Berlin in less than a fortnight after, are now, it is urged, to be looked for. Already reports reach us from both sides that the Prussian troops are entrenching them selves, and fringing their elaborate system of fortresses by earthworks such as were found so useful in our late civil war. If it be true that the French field artillery is as superior as by some it is supposed to be, the wisdom of this becomes manifest. It has been thought that the mitrailleuse, which discharges perhaps forty bullets through as many tubes, would really prove no more effective than an ordinary cannon that should throw an equal number of missiles through a single tube ' • and the allegation is doubtless true that the experience of previous wars tends to lessen expec tion of great results from complicated forms of light artil lery. On the other hand the affair of Saarbruck, if we can trust the French accounts, shews that the new arm may prove of vital consequence at decisive moments of the war. The unlooked-for hesitancy prior to a general engagement may be owing to a variety of causes, and ap prehension of the unknown powers of the mitrailleuse may possibly be among the number. —New York Times. THE GREAT EUROPEAN CONFLICT. The war now begins to be more lively. We have had a French victory and a Prussian victory. Last night it was said that a general engagement was in progress. The Chassepot is good ; the mitrailleuse is horrible ; but the needle gun is a sound, reliable weapon. The storming of Weissenburg by the Prussians is a bigger thing than the carrying of the heights above Saarbruck by the French. It would be absurd, however, to predict, on the strength of anything which has yet taken place, on which side vic tory is ultimately to lean. Both armies are brimful of confidence ; but while they are only cautiously feeling their way towards each other it is wise to suspend judgment. One of the most amusing things in connection with this war is the interest it has awakened among ourselves. We are either Erench or Prussian. For the one or the other the people go in stoutly. Among the citizens of the United States neutrals are nowhere. That our sentiments should be divided is not wonderful. It is wonderful, how ever, that the separating gulf should be so broadand deep, and that on both sides the sentiment should be so keen. France is our ancient ally. In the dark days which pre ceded our independence, when we were struggling hard for sweet life, French sympathy, French brains, and French swords did us good service. But in our later struggle, when this great Republic, which really constitutes the hope of all peoples, was beset by enemies from within and by enemies from without, and when our national life trembled in the balance, Prussia was our steadfast friend, sorrowing in our sorrow and rejoicing in our joy ; and of all our adopted citizens none did us better service than those brave men who hailed from Fatherland. To both peoples we are therefore indebted. But we are not more indebted to the one than to the other. It is not unnatu ral that Frenchmen resident with us should sympathize with France. It is not unnatural that Germans resident with us should sympathise with Prussia. But it is un natural, and not a little absurd, that we should allow ourselves, in spite of our better reason, to be dragged into two hostile camps, and repeat here a strife in which as a nation we have really no interest. Evey citizen of these United States, no matter from what land he or his fathers may have hailed, is or ought to be first an American. We cannot help looking on as anxious spectators ; but our interests as Americans demand that we should not allow this foreign quarrel to beget strife and division in the midst of us. Much as we have reason to deplore this un happy and unjustifiable war, we ought all to see that we have no reason to lose by it, and that if we are wise we ought to gain. Much of that which we have just written is - as applicable to Great Britain as it is to our= selves. To every lover of his species, to every one who is warmly interested in the welfare and prosperity of the human family, it is matter of sorrow that the possibility begins to grow into probability that Great Britain will be dragged into the conflict. The war spirit of the brave British people is aroused. The senti ment is strongly in favour of Prussia. If the neutrality of the soil of Belgium is violated it is as certain as that the sun will rise and set to-morrow that British ships will spread death over the great waters, and that the red coats will mingle in and give intensity to the fight. We are not without a grudge towards the British Government and people ; they did not behave as they ought to have done during our late trouble ; but we can afford to be magnanimous, and in the spirit which one great nation ought ever to be willing to regard another we recognise the greatness and the glorious mission of the 13fitish empire. She is no longer a European , but an Asiatic, or rather a cosmopolitan Power. We look upon her, this whole North American people looks to her, as the mother of our language, our literature, our laws. Alt over the world—in Australia, where she. is laying the foundation of another great English-speaking empire ; in India, where she is reshaping and remoulding a veople who are destined to carry over the whole of Asia the blessings of Christian civilization ; in S outh Africa, where she has established agencies which may yet utilise the unknown wealth of the African continent—wherever she plants her standard her mighty influence is in favour of progress. If she enters into this . strife the immediate result will be sweeping destruction ; progyess will be checked, and it is not impossible that her influence . for good will be seriously diminished. Should Great Britain join in this war it will be a world-wide calamity.—New York Herald. ROYAL MUNIFICENCE. —The King and Queen of the Belgians have not only subscribed 25,000 f, but the Count and Countess de Flandre have given 10,000 f., t o th e fund in aid of the famil ies of the militia called under the flag. Queen Christina has made a donation of I,ooof. for the wounded of the French army, and her husband, the Duke de Rainzares, 300 f. for the same cause. A WISE SUGGESTION. — There is to be a general muster of the Massachusetts militia at Camp Andrew, in Concord, on the 6th of September, to continue five days. Last fall the muster was at Springfield, and Springfield is very thankful that rural and transcendental Concord is to get the benefit this time, as these remark s o f a Sp r i ng fi e ld paper shTv :—" An industrious and un war lik e p eo pl e a r e always disposed in timeof peace tolook coldly on the expen sive and apparently inutile paraphernalia of war, especially if there is a tendency to convert the trainings' and drill seasons into trainings for lawless vice, and reins of terror to the neighbouring r es id en t s . People won't sup port a militia that is little more than an armed mob, and aggressive at that. When the uniformed members of companies in camp run the pickets as freely as they go to rations, turn out en masse to be driven back by policemen, or to make night hideous•with brawling, while the officers lift up their feeble hands with anile plaints of ' What can we do?" the people will hardly care to be taxed to sup port the military establishment." General Butler, who commands, desires to guard against a renewal of these disorders, and informs the troops that all intoxicating liquors are to be banished from his headquarters, hopes they will not be tolerated at Division headquarters, knows that none will be found at Brigade headquarters, and advises that they be not allowed on the field " save with the other poisons in the medicine chests of the surgeons." PRICE Id STAMPED 2d THE TIENTSIN MA SSACRE. The Overland China Mail of July 7th says that a long series of outrages by the Chinese has culminated in the terrible massacre at Tientsin, of which there was no rea son to doubt the truth. The steamer Dragon left Tient sin on June 21st. She was overtaken at Taku, at the mouth of the Peiho river, on which Tientsin is situated, by a courier who bore a brief despatch to the effect that the French Missionaries, the Sisters of Mercy, and the French Consul had been murdered by Chinese, and that while the despatch was being written, the French Cathe dral and the Consulate were in flames. It was reported as a rumour that similar outrages had been perpetrated at Pekin, and that M. Rochechouart had been killed, together with some Russians. It is thought that there is nothing improbable in this rumour and it may turn out that the affair at Pekin was the prelude to the Tientsin massacre. That the existence of a plot was believed in is shewn by the facts that Shanghai has assumed an attitude of self-defence, and that a steam tea-clipper was diverted from her direct homeward path to convey official despatches about the event to the French Consul and to the Government of Hongkong. The Overland China Mail considers that the matter has assumed a more serious aspect than any which has arisen since the occur rences which terminated in Lord Elgin's entry into Pekin, and expresses its full conviction that the crisis has been brought about mainly by the attitude which the British and American Governments have observed towards the Empire of China. When the news of the massacre reached Chefoo, Her Majesty's gunboat Opossum, which was lying there, started at once for Tientsin. The Dwarf was to leave Shanghai on the sth of July, and the French gunboat Flamme to follow immediately. Either the Manchu or the Appin were expected at Shanghai before the departure of the mails, but it was conjectured that both were kept at Tientsin to afford protection to the foreigners who had not been murdered. The greatest excitement prevailed at Hong Kong, and the preparations which were being made by the military and naval authorities, in the event of active work being called for, met with the unqualified approbation of men of all nationalities, not excepting the Chinese. Private letters state that M. Fontanier (French Consul at Tien-tsin) is unmarried ; but the tact that a gentleman named Thomasin, with wife and child, was staying at the Consulate may explain the rumour of a lady and child having been included in the indiscriminate slaughter. Great excitement prevailed at Nanking, and anxiety was felt at the probable issue of the movement there. It was ex pected that French troops would be brought up from Cochin China by the Peiho, and a military force from the garrison at Hong Kong was under orders to proceed at a moment's notice to the scene of the disturbances in the North. A rumour was circulated that the attacking. Chinese were on their way to the English consul's resi dence when they were intercepted by the Tartar-General, but it had met with no authentication. MARKETS. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, MONDAY.— The provincial markets, held on Saturday, were fairly supplied with wheat. The trade was quiet, and prices were generally ls. to 2s. per qr. lower. Spring corn of all descriptions was inactive. The import of foreign and colonial produce into Lon don last week comprised 22,320 qrs. of wheat, 7,277 barley, 93,802 oats, 202 rye, 1,069 beans, 540 peas, 90 tares, 2,278 linseed, 10,164 rapeseed, 15,280 maize, 150 sundry, and 3,768 sacks of flour. The grain trade at Mark-lane to-day has been in a quiet state. The receipts of new English wheat have been on a more liberal scale, but the quality has been very varied. Of old produce very few samples have been exhibited. There has been a thin attendance of millers, and the demand has ruled quiet for all descriptions, at about the rates current on Mon day last. With foreign wheat the market has been well supplied. Sales bane progressed slowly on former terms. dloderate supplies of barley have been on offer. Business has been conducted on a limited scale, at about late quotations. Malt has been quiet, on former terms. With oats the market has been fairly supplied. The trade has not been active, but prices have ruled firm. Beans have been dull and drooping. Peas have commanded but little attention, at barely late currencies. There has been a moderate demand for flour. American barrels have been in request for France at full quotations. In English flour the business doing has been limited. Maize has met a slow sale. Arrivals : English—Wheat, 5,736 qrs.; barley, 71 qrs.; malt, 10,787 qrs. ; oats, 2,869 qrs.; rye, 5 qrs. ; beaus, 126 qrs.; peas, 689 qrs. ; tares, 109 qrs., linseed, 15 ; rapeseed, 300 ; maize, 35 ; sundry, 542 ; flour, 17,571 sacks Foreign—Wheat, 22,320 qrs. ; barley, 7,277 qrs. ; oats, 93,802 qrs. ; rye, 202 qrs.; beans, 1,069 qrs.; peas, 540 qrs.; tares, 90 qrs.: linseed, 2,278 qrs.; rape seed, 10,164 qrs.; maize, 15,280; sundry 150 qrs.; flour, 3,768 sacks. Exported—Oats, 76,200 qrs., rapeseed, 650 qrs.; oilseed, 1,204 qrs.; canary, 30 qrs.; flour, 31,375 cwts. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET, MONtAY.-The total imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to 11,940 head. In the corresponding week in 1869, we received 12,570 ; in 1868, 7,958; in 1867, 8,163 ; and in 1866, 15,877 head. Devoid of any feature of importance, the cattle trade has been in a quiet state to-day, and the increased liberality of the re ceipts has in some instances weakened prices. The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts have been on a moderate scale, but they have included but few specimens of choice qualities. A fair number has been received from Tonning, and Spain has sent a moderate supply, in generally-speaking good condition. As regards trade, prime breeds have been in request, at from ss. 4d. to ss. 6d. per 81bs. Other wise the demand has been inactive, at about late rates. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received about 300 shorthorns, &c., from other parts of Eng land 600 various breeds, and from Irelandabout 100 oxen. With sheep the market has been fairly supplied. There has been a healthy inquiry, at improving currencies. The best Downs and half-breds have sold occasionally at ss. Bd., but ss. 6d. per 81bs. has been the general top quotations. Lambs have sold slowly. Calves have been in limited request, and pigs have been neglected. Per 81b. to sink the offal :-Inferior beasts, 3s. 6d. to 4s. 2d. ; second quality ditto, 4s. 4d. to 4s. Bd. ; prime large oxen, 4s. 10d. to ss. 4d, ; prime Scots, ss. 4d. to ss.
