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 expi • 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, J sle, 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 shew unusual power of observation, are full of genial gossip, and supply just what the excursionist wants- - reliable information."—Western Daily Press.

By Edward Newman, F.L.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 and 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. new 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 M 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 text-book by a krgh 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 very useful addition to our library." Land and Weiler, Oct. 9. London—W. TWEEDIE. 337, Strand. W.O. Just published, price is B€l., by post ls.

In the Rolls Court yesterday Lord Romilly delivered udgment in the cause of " Bubb v. Yelverton," which was an adjourned summons from chambers to decide upon a claim of £330 for damages, made by Mr. Rodney Hastings, brother-in-law of the late Marquis of Hastings, upon the estate of the deceased nobleman, under peculiar circumstances. His lordship remarked that in September, 1867, Mr. Rodney Hastings entered into a contract with the late Marquis, by which he pur chased the reversion of the Dorrington estate, that was to say that the Marquis should retain possession of the pro perty until his death, when Mr. Hastings was to enter into possession, the agreement being one of impeachment without waste. The marquis had previously, a s well as at that time, employed an eminent land scape gardener, Mr. Thomas, to consider what timber it would be proper to cut down by way of improving the estate ; and Mr. Thomas pointed out various pieces of timber and trees which it would be advisable to remove, none of which, with the exception of a solitary ash tree, were visible from the mansion. In the spring of 1868 the Marquis proceeded to cut down the trees, and there was no pretence for saying that the plain tiff was unaware of this, notwithstanding which he did not attempt to interfere by injunction, but in the following August, when all the alterations had been effected, com pleted the contract. Three months afterwards the young marquis unfortunately died, whereupon the brother-in law came in for the reversion, and claimed to be a creditor of the estate in consequence of the removal of the timber. The real question was whether any damage had been actually sustained by the inheritance. In his lordship's opinion the removal of the trees did no damage whatever, but, on the contrary, effected an im provement; and the result was that the summons must be dismissed with costs, the case not being a proper one to bring before the court. THE MASTER OF THE HORSE ON iHE WAR. In addressing a meeting at Marlborough on Saturday, the Marquis of Ailesbury said—However much we may regret the war that is now impending, I hope we shall take an impartial and moderate view of everything that occurs, and do our best to avoid being involved in it ourselves, for it is .almost impossible to look upon two neighbouring states in actual warfare without taking one side or the other. For my own part I am extremely in doubt which party is most to blame, if an y blame there is. In the first instance, we are scarcely competent to judge what the feelings of other countries are as to bounda ries. In this respect our own country is so accurately defined by nature that we ar e not t e mpt e d to appropriate neighbouring land. On the continent it is far different. Our position is defined and unmis takeable, but it is not the case there. It will strike any one who travels abroad as an extraordi nary fact that at the most a river or a few moun tains will separate two nations and two peoples who talk different languages. Frequently a nation speaking one language will be found this side the river, and a different race the other. Considering there fore the warlike character of that most pugnacious animal man, we could not be surprised if wars were even more frequent. It is not for us to judge either, and say why can't the people stay at home? but we ought to make some allowance for a differeht situation to that we are ourselves accustomed to. Eton College was closed yesterday, the scholars having left for the autumn vacation. St. Paul's Cathedral, when restored, might well contain the additional clock-dials, as originally intended. One might then point to Cannon-street, and the other to the Churchyard.—The Architect. HOME AND COLONIAL OFFICES.—Mr. G. G. Scott, the architect of the new Home and Colonial Offices, has received command to proceed with the work immediately. The stoppage occurred by order of the First Commissioner. The Architect. EMIGRATION TO CANADA.—A large party of 350 emigrants left London Dock for Canada on Thursday, on board the St. Leonards, a clipper ship belonging to John Bonus and Son, of Cannon-street- The greater portion of the number consisted of the last detachment sent out by the Working Men's Emigration Association, which has already sent out five large parties this year, making over 1,000 people, Clearly the season is over though the session is not. Fair shoppers no longer throng Regent -street : the Row is no longer blocked with equipages. The Royal Academy and other galleries close to-morrow. But there is an immense amount of work still to be cleared off down atWestminster, and happy will Mr. Denison and Mr. Dodson be if they are released from their confinement in any time under three weeks. But then all Londoners are not politicians, and so, though the Irish Land Bill has not yet passed its final ordeal; though the Education Bill has still to get through committee in the Lords, and the Foreign Enlistment Bill has scarcely accomplished any of its stages in either House, heads of families who have no prefix denoting membership of the Upper House, and no suffix denoting membership of the Lower, are off to the holiday grounds, if not of Europe, at least of Britain. To tell the truth, there are also a good many noble lords and M.P.'s who have done the same thing. This is very evident if you go down to either House now. In spite of wars and rumours of wars, in spite of angry diplomatists and secret treaties, it is but a comparatively small gathering of legislators that me sees. Yesterday afternoon, for instance, it was thought possible that Mr. Gladstone might make a state ment with regard to . the alleged proposal of France to gorge Belgium. Even if he said nothing, there were a number of interesting questions with regard to the war, which a fortnight ago would have drawn an overflowing house. The galleries were full enough, and in the Press Gallery there was not only the usual array of reporters, but a goodly phalanx of " able editors" come down special to get a text for their next morning's sermon. But down on the floor of the House the attendance was, to use the absurd jargon of the Stock Exchange, " excessively moderate," and there was very little excitement except at one moment when it was thought that Mr. Gladstone was going to answer one of the " war " questions put to the Treasury bench ; but as he did not answer it, the excitement quickly subsided.. The Premier's reticence was, indeed, quite remarkable. Question after question was asked about rights of neutral., duties towards belligerents, contraband of war, lawful prizes, exportation of arms, foreign enlistme/A, and the like ; but Mr. Gladstone left the answers to his colleagues and his subordinates—to Mr. Cardwell, Mr. Otway, and chiefly to the Attorney-General. That he was deeply interested in what went on was shewn by his quickness to prompt the various Ministers, especially Sir Robert Collier, who will now have an amount of work of the most delicate character, that will be more trying than welcome. Mr. Gladstone's abstinence from speech was particularly marked when being asked by Mr. Ver non Harcourt what day the Foreign Enlistment Bill would be brought in, he left the Attorney-General to reply. It seemed as though he were resolved that by no word of his would he add to the gravity of the present crisis, and having taken that resolution as though he felt the surest way to keep it was to be silent altogether ; to turn total abstainer, in fact. The House was in a serious mood, and not at all in clined for amusement. But Mr. Cavendish Bentinck kindled a little animation by asking the Home Secretary if certain pamphlets which certain ladies were sending to M.P.'s with respect to a certain Act of Parliament did not come under the provisions of Lord Campbell's Act. 'There was cheering at the question, and still more cheer ing at the answer. Mr. Bruce said that he had taken legal advice on the point, and had ascertained that the pamphlets referred to did unquestion ably come under the operation of that Act, for, as was established in the case of Murphy's " Confessional Unmasked," it was not necessary that the object of the author, or of the publisher, should be immoral ; it was sufficient that the writing should be indecent in order to expose the persons who circulated it, to the 'penalties of the IaNV - . Mr. Bruce added that he had received these pamphlets, and that unfortunately, at this season of the year it was not possible to put them in their proper place—behind the fire—but henceforth it was to be hoped teat all persons concerned in circulating these most objectionable productions,would, now that they had been fairly warned, refrain from send ing them in future. It would be well, therefore, for the ladies who have taken upon themselves to oppose what they call the "C. D." Act to be more wary. They would not like to be prosecuted under what is known as the Holywell-street Act. When this little episode was over a gentleman in dark-coloured spectacles said to be Mr. Plim soll, got up to call attention to loss of life at sea. It was then close upon five o'clock, and there was a rush of M.P.'s, able editors and reporters to " another place,', where matters more exciting than this, and speakers more weighty than the member for Derby were expected. If the attendance of the Commons was only " exces sively moderate," what phrase can I borrow from Capel Court to describe the attendance of the Lords ! Theie was a beggarly array ,of empty red morocco benches. At first there were not a score of peers present. The Bishop of Exeter was one of the only two prelates to be seen; but later the pair were joined by the Bishops of Salisbury, Oxford, Gloucester, and Bristol. Lord Hatherley rattled out his jingling formula of " Content, not content the contents have it " with marvellous rapidity as one private bill after another was read. Then came a dreary pause. The Duke of Argyll was the first Cabinet Minister to enter. Lord Granville appeared a little later, and to them Lords Halifax, De Grey, Kimberley, Northbrook and Lansdowne joined themselves. Other peers came in. but even when Lord Granville began his eagerly-expected statement, there were not a hundred peers present. The attendance of commoners was very large. Mr. Gladstone sat on the steps of the Throne, and all along the bar was an eager throng. At seventeen minutes past five Lord Granville rose, as he said, to fulfil the promise which he had made to Lord Russell, by delivering a statement with respect to the negotiations. He did not go through them in detail. He referred only to the most salient points. At one time, as he said, success seemed attained. He lamented greatly the Benedetti incident at Ems, and evidently attributed to the exasperation caused in both countries by that incident the extinction of all hope of peace. He announced in the most decisive ' terms the intention of the Government to maintain a strict neutrality, and contended that in this way far better than by'threatening what England would do in certain eventualities would this country best maintain its dignity. This was the only reference (and it was a most indirect one) to the Secret Treaty which Lord Granville made. He sat down, after speaking twenty minutes, having said nothing but what every one knew before, very much to the disgust of the able editors. Lord Malmesbury followed, and in a speech of thir teen minutes approved the steps taken by Lord Granville, declared his opinion that war was inevitable from the first and had been for some time previously, consoled the Foreign Secretary with the reflection that under these circumstances a conference must have failed even if the belligerents had assented to it, expressed his confidence that Lord Granville would refer to the Secret Treaty on another day, and implored the Government to strengthen the British army, as they might well do with out inconsistency in the present altered state of Europe. Then Lord Russell rose, and there was silence audible, for no one could hear what he said. Probably we did not lose very much. The " promoters of the Dublin demonstrations of sympathy with France " have issued a paper, in which they say that as their object "has been fully attained, the country will, for the present, desist from similar demon trations." M. TIMES ON THE WAR.—An extract from a private letter by M. Thiers has been published which is especially interesting at the present crisis. The veteran statesman says :—" I have always believed that France would be called upon to resist the ambition of Prussia—a young and conquering nation, but I thought also that she must not do so until the necessity was plainly evident, and all the other nations of Europe would acknowledge we had good grounds for action. Policy and humanity alike directed this course. If by asking for the production of the despatches I could have obtained twenty-four hours' respite, I believe that my countrymen, having had time to think would perhaps have declared themselves for peace. I did not succeed and, therefore, faithful to the banner of my nation, can only wish for her success, trusting that it may co— humanity as little as possible, and that it may produce a durable peace.—THlEßs, Deputy of the Seine.—Paris, July 25, 1870," GOODWOOI) MEETING.—FRIDAY.

With foreign wheat the market has been fairly supplied. Sales have progressed, slowly, at drooping prices. The spew of barley has been mode rate. Without being active, the trade has been firm, at full quotations. Malt has been quiet, at about late currencies. Oats have been steady in value, with a fair inquiry. Beans and peas have been quite as dear. Flour has been inactive. Some samples of new English wheat have been on sale in excellent condition. The price demanded for them has been from 60s. to 655., but has not been obtained. Arrivals :—English and Scotch—wheat, 1,090 qrs. ; malt, 100 ; oats, 60 ; beans, 80. Foreign—Wheat, 43,320 ; barley, 620 ; oats, 94,020 ; maize, 3,270 ; beans, 1,120 ; peas, 4,970. Flour, 1,320 sacks. LIVERPPOOL CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—There was only a small attendance of buyers at this market to-day ; and a limited business was done in wheat. American winter red brough was rather over Tuesday's rates, but inferior quality are fully ld. per cental lower. Flour was a dull sale, at late rates. Indian corn and Egyptian beans were 6d. per quarter cheaper. WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—The hot forcing weather during the last few days has brought corn up rapidly to maturity, giving promise of an earlier harvest than was ex pected. This has caused a decline in the value of wheat from the high price current at the beginning of last week ; and to day sales can only be made at from 2s. to 3s, below last Friday's rates. Spring corn was rather cheaper. LINCOLN CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—In consequence of the Sleaford Show, there was a very poor attendance at this market to-day. Wheat was from 4s. to ss. lower. All other grain was at last week's rates. MANCHESTER COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.—This market remains very dull, and considerable depression of tone prevails. Prices are very irregular, and in order to sell spinners would require to accept 3s. 4d. per lb. under the prices they held out for this day week. The reduction in the value of cloth is not generally so great. In addition to the small orders daily given out, we hear of a few large contracts placed in the market for both yarn and cloth, but at lower rates than producers can cover on the day they are induced to accept such prices, as they look for a further and considerable decline in the value of cotton, owing to the depression and disorganised state of business in Liverpool, which is materially affecting our market. The further advance in the Bank rate was generally anticipated, and has excited no ,adverse influence, but rumours of further failures here and in Liverpool, and the depression towards the close of the day, producers in order to sell have accepted prices which they refused in the morning. Quotations—lst, 120 ; 3rd, 111 d. ; 4th, 17}d. ; sth, 7s. 9d. ; 6th, 9s. 3d. ; 7th, Bs. 4d. ; Bth, lOs. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRlDAY.—Opening : official figures—lmport, 37,478 bales ; sales, 57,250 bales ; stock, 589,030 bales, of which 301,670 bales are American, and 145,280 bales are Surat, The trade took 50,190 bales ; speculators took 2,370 bales ; exporters took 4,690 bales ; actual export, 5,019 bales. Prices : Middling Orleans, Bd. ; Mobiles, 7id. ; Uplands, 71d. •' fair Dhollerah, 60. ; fair Egyptian, 9id. The market opened with a limited inquiry : but under the influence of yesterday's depres sion, it is impossible to estimate the extent of to-day's business. Second Report.—There is a marked anxiety to sell, and prices are again from to I in favour of the buyers ; but even with this concession it is most difficult to get on. Sales 8,000 bales. Speculation and export 500 bales. Nothing to arrive. SOUTH WALES TRADE REPORT, FRIDAY.—The war be tween France and Prussia has had a prejudicial effect on the iron trade of this district. Many continental orders must re main unexecuted so long as the Franco-Prussian difficulty con tinues. The rail mills are actively engaged in the execution of American and Russian orders. Large quantities of rails have been sent to Peru, from whence consider able orders are anticipated. At some few works operations have been interrupted from the scarcity of water. The home trade is quiet. Prices have given way for pig iron to a greater extent than was recently expected. A steady improvement marks the tin-plate trade. The further re duction in the price of tin has improved the makers' position. For steam coal there is more inquiry, mainly arising out of the continental war; and great activity Is expected in a few weeks in this department if the war continues. The utmost quietness prevails in the house coal trade.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills.—Nervous De rangements.—Not only is the nervous system affected by variations of temperature, atmospheric vicissitudes, die tetic errors, excessive indulgence in stimulants, fatigue of muscles, and anxiety of Mind, but it also intensely sym pathises with disorder in any part of the body. These excellent Pills, now long noted for their powers of aug menting 'the appetite, promoting digestion, regulating secretions, and enforcing excretions, have likewise proved themselves the most certain of neurotonics or strengtheners of the nerves, and the best preservers of vital energy. In spring, summer, and autumn, Holloway's Pills are espe cially useful in guarding the system against the malaria, sunstroke from excessive heat, and the weakness engen dered by an ac celerated circulation, or too profuse per spiration. Sir R. Phillimore had the case of the owners of the Normandy v. the owners of the Mary before him in the Admiralty Court yesterday. It was an action brought by the London and South-Western Railway Company, as owners of the mail paddle-steamer Normandy, against the owners of the screw steamer .Mary, to recover damages for the loss of the former vessel by collision off the Needles on the 17th of March last. It will be remembered that the Normandy was carrying the mails, passengers, and a general cargo from Southampton to the Channel Islands, when she came into collision with the Mary, laden with wheat, and bound from the Black Sea to London. Within about a quarter of an hour the Normandy sank, carrying down with her the captain, chief .mate, engineers, and several of the crew and 'pas sengers ; the remainder of the crew and passengers being taken in the Normandy's boats, on board of the Mary. At first a charge of inhumanity, in neglecting to attempt to save any of the drowning people,_ was made against the captain and ofOcers of the Mary; but Dr. Deane yesterday, after hearing. from one of the Normandy's crew that a boat was sent from the Mary, at once withdrew all such charges, and said- it was evident the,: .conduct of the-captain of the Mary after the collision was perfectly satisfactory, but the officer in charge of the boat appeared to have " lost his head." It was contended by the plaintiffs that the Mary did not carry a light, and was so improperly navigated as to cause the collision ; while for the defendants was sought to be shewn that the Mary was in her proper course, and was soundinr , her fog whistle, as there was a thick fog at the time. About the fog there was a discrepancy between the evidence of the parties, those on board of the Normandy saying the fog only came on about the time of the blow occurring. The inference was that the Mary was coming up with the fog, while the . Normandy was just beyond it.. The case has not concluded. ota rhe and rom y in nay I be the t of weir is a Lion and ave s a N.B.— Liberal Terms to Agents. ing ent uly ing ing (IRYSTAL PALACE.—Gardens and Parks re v freshed by rain—Never more beautiful.—THlS DAY, LAST GRAND SUMMER CONCERT and fashionable PROME NADE.

THE EUROPEAN BANKING COMPANY. In the Court of Vice-Chancellor Malins yesterday, an application was made on behaf of several contributory shareholders in the European Banking Company, for the removal of Sir Robert Carden, Bart., and Mr. David Brown, as liquidators, and the appointment of others in their place ; and the repayment by them of three sums of £70,000, £25,000, and £19,000 respectively, the same having been unlawfully misapplied. Mr. Glasse, Q.C., and Mr. Napier Higgins, Q.C., ap peared for the appellants ; Mr. Roberts supported the motion on behalf of a number of contributors ; whilst Mr. Cotton, Q.C., and Mr. Graham Hastings were counsel for the respondents, and Mr. Cole, Q.C., for the creditors' representatives. Mr. Glasse stated that the company went into liquida tion under supervision in May 1866, Sir Robert Carden, Mr. D. Brown, and Mr. Kinney being appointed liquidators, Sir R. Carden having formerly been chairman of the board of directors. In April 1868 they presented a report in which they stated that after the payment of all the debts there would remain a sufficiently large surplus to enable them to return the amount of the last call which had been made upon the contributors. The court would be surprised to find, however, that two years after wards, instead of a surplus being in hand, the liquidators had been under the necessity of making another call of 23 per share, and at the present time the liquidators were liable for no less a sum than £120,000. The Vice-Chancellor inquired in what way the liability had been created ? Mr. Glasse replied by misapplication of funds. The liquidators were advised by eminent consul so far back as December, 1868, that • the directors were liable in conse quence of the procedure they adopted at a certain meet ing, authorising a subscription towards another under taking. Mr. Cotton intimated that the necessity of taking further action against Sir R. Carden was obviated, inas much as the hon. baronet had sent in his resignation as liquidator before the presentation of the bill. There was not either, so far as he was aware, any complaint against Mr. Brown. Mr.- Glasse had no special reason for desirin ` • the •premptory removal of Mr. Brown. All he wanted was to secure the appointment of competent coadjutors for Mr. Winn ey. In reply to a question from his Honour, Mr. Winney stated that when the company went into liquidation their liabilities amounted to £3,000,000. Now, however, they had been reduced to about £lOO,OOO, including what had fallen away, and been paid off by means of calls. The Vice-Chancellor considered there was no necessity for vexatious litigation, and the only order he should make would be to appoint a liquidator to fill the vacancy occasioned by the retirement of Sir It. Carden. SCIENCE, LITERATURE, AND ART. The Athenceum says :—Last week, at Richmond, Surrey, died Mrs. Ritchie, better known as Anna Cora Mowatt. She was the daughter of an American merchant, and was born at Bordeaux about 1810. Inclination and reduced fortune led her to the stage, and after a successful career in the United States, she made her appearance in London in 1848, at the Princess's Theatre, whence she was drawn to the Olympic by Mr. Watts, the engagement termi nating with his financial collapse and suicide in 1850. Mrs. Ritchie was a versatile and prolific writer, and some of her novels attained considerable popularity in America. —Among the names that appear for the first time in the new edition of the "Dictionaire des Conternporains " is that of Mr. Spurgeon ! War, however, is responsible for a large number of the additions. Just as the last edition was full of American generals, the present one is full of Prussian generals ; and besides we have Sir J. Whit worth, Herr Krupp, Herr Dreyse, and M. Chassepot.— The Christian Times has passed into the hands of new proprietors, and will henceforth be published by Mr. Stevenson, Paternoster Row.— The amateurs interested in the Beethoven Festivals which are to be given in Germany may be glad to learn that the war will not pre vent the performances from taking place at the various cities recently specified, namely, Vienna, Berlin, and Bonn.— A new drama, entitled " Weeds and Flowers," has been produced at the East London Theatre. There is nothing especially appropriate in the title, the play consisting of a version of an often-used story of a girl taking upon her self the responsibility of an intrigue of her sister's.—M. Victor Hugo has, it is said, finished an historical comedy, entitled " Madame de Maintenon," to be produced at the Franc,ais.—To gratify the warlike instincts of the Paris ians, Ponsard's " Lion Amoureux " has been revived at the Thatre Francais. Some passages against the Prus sians placed in the mouth of one of the characters were excised at the first production of the piece ; these have now been restored, and it is needless to say are vocife rously applauded. Nature says the heat was so great at Dowlasheram, in the Madras Presidency,in June, that the Indian papers report that many birds died of sunstroke.—The death of Von Graefe, the most distinguished oculist in Europe, is announced. The necessary operations for the construction of the sea wall of the Ist ew Brighton Aquarium are pro gressing. It is expected that the aquarium will be com pleted and furnished by the spring of next year.—We have reason to believe that Professor Sir William Thom son will be the next President of the British Association. A COUNTERFEIT NAPOLEON. We learn from a Paris paper that the French Emperor has his "double, or other self," in the person of a mud complexioned and dull-eyed American, who shews himself from time to time in public, and who, moreover, increases his marvellous resemblance to the Emperor by imitating his tricks of manner.and movement. He is often mistaken for the Emperor as he moves around Paris on foot or on horseback, and there are occasionally ludicrous scenes from this cause. We should think that this counter feit Napoleon the Third might be a very use ful personage in case of the outbreak of hos tilities between France and Prussia. He might take the Emperor's place, for example, as the nominal head and leader of the French army, and thus save his real Majesty a great deal of trouble and danger. We can imagine the wild enthusiasm of the troops when he made his appearance, mustache and all. We can fancy how they would rush at the enemy when they felt that his eye—his dull eye—was upon them. We can imagine how they would march, even though worn out, when they saw him descend from his horse and march beside them, with his short legs. We can fancy how even the wounded and dying would be inspired and consoled when, after the battle was fought, he stalked over the field of victory, giving one a word of kindness, another a drink from his canteen, and another, perhaps, the baton of a marshal. We can imagine the exultant shouts of loyalty and devotion that would rend the heavens as he rode back to France, at the head of his troops, after his German triumph. And then, in case the counterfeit "Jacobs" who passed for the " real original " were to be so unfor tunate a's to receive a wound in some part of his counterfeit person during the campaign, we can see how the " genuine Jacobi," beside saving himself all peril and pain, would be able, at an opportune moment, to emerge from his hiding place in the Tuileries and shew himself in Paris, as a proof of Divine protection and miraculous triumph over the dangers which had menaced him..
