But in the midst of deeds of blood and slaughter, with affrighted Europe trembling beneath the weight of his daring martial hosts, he descends beneath the heavy hand of Fate ; and falls to rise no more ; with none to mourn him, none to inherit his renown, none to record his goodlleeds, and none to lament his destruction."

A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IN NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL, AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS. BY EDWARD SPENDER PRICE 38. "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. Fos intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spender's book will be welcome. It has, moreover, the decided advantage of com pression, clearness of style, and easy manageableness of bulk."— Daily Telegraph. "The volume perfectly fulfils its purpose. It is neat and cheap and ( antains 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 I u ve 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 remembraicer." —Sun " Fjord, Jsle, and Tor' is a very delightful little book. The essay on Norway is particularly full of information, but the others are not far behind Win 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 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, it is, nevertheless, a book that will afford the keenest gratifica tion to the general public. . . . As to its literary merits we need say nothing, the name of the author being sufficient guarantee on this point."—Western Mail. "The articles shew unusual power of observation, are full of genial gossip, and supply just what the excursionist wants— reliable Information."—Western Daily Press.

During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly every week in some of the most frequented districts of the metropolis. The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many fallen ones.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT. —Jane Law, described as a needlewoman, was charged before Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough-street Police-court, with violently assaulting Alexander Ross, an elderly man, a tailor. The com plainant deposed that yesterday morning he went into his room at No. 21, Dudley-street, when the prisoner, with• whom he cohabited, asked him for the change of a shilling she had given him, and on his refusing to give it she struck him several , times on the head with the pointed end of a pair of scissors, inflicting several severe wounds and smothering him with blood. He succeeded in wresting the scissors from her, and gave her into custody. . He showed the scissors to the officer. The prisoner said she worked hard at staymaking, and her .Tefusal to give money for drink caused a quarrel, during which the complainant fell, and struck his head against the fender. Remanded for a week for the production of witnesses. CANNABALISII IN St GEORGE'S-IN-THE-EAST. - John Callaghan, an Irish tailor, aged 34 years, who has been in the Army, was brought up on remand, before Mr. Paget, at the Thames Police-court, charged with assault ing and wounding Mary Buckley, and biting off her under lip. The parties were living in Williams Court, St. George's - in-the-Bast. A woman who is cohabiting with the prisoner quarrelled with him, and he beat her. She ran into the house where Mrs. Buckley was then living for protec tion. The prisoner followed her, and Mrs Buckley got between the prisoner and his paramour to protect her. .The prisoner, who was drunk and mad with rage, struck Mrs. Buckley and knocked her down on the stairs. He then fell upon her and fastened his teeth on her under lip, and bit it completely off. Mr. Paget said that more than one half of all the charges ever brought Wore, .him_priginated from excessive drink ing: His office would be almost a sinecure if there were' no drunkenness. He sent the fellow to prison for six months. EIGHTY-FIVE TIMES IN CUSTODY.—Peter Connell, 50, a labourer, was charged at the Westminster Police-court, for the 85th time, with being drunk and riotous, and obstructing a constable in the execution of his duty. The prisoner was found on Saturday night drunk and riotous, and locked up, the magis trate on Monday letting him go in spite of his 84th visit, and he was again taken into custody by Samuel Edwards and fined 21s. or a month, being locked up in de fault His career is worthy of mention, and has extended since the time when the clothes of the prisoner were burned at a fire in the House of Correction in Coldbath fields, on which occasion Peter, with - others, got a new suit on leaving the prison ; since that time he has seldom passed Saturday night out of gaol or police station, and has been known frequently to come into the Rochester-row station, on a Saturday night, lie down, and refuse to go, hut insist on being locked up ; he has at length come from a decent hard-working position to a state of abject poverty, subsisting in jail, workhouse, and on charity. He has signed the pledge many times, but has latterly forgotten every principle of decency and sense, and is a horrid example of the vile effects of drunkenness. THE .COMIC PAPERS. ..

Sir Richard Baggallay, the Conservative candidate, has begun an active canvass. The Times yesterday published a long letter in leader type, signed " Spectator," complaining of the absence of the Sovereign and her Ministers from London at the present critical period. If the country (the writer says) had not the utmost confidence in the Ministry, it would be alarmed at their apparent indifference. Th e Post says :—" A. well-deserved compliment has just been paid to Mr. Robert Rawlinson, C. 8., who, it will be recollected, 'acted .as commissioner in Lanca shire at the time of the distress caused by the cotton famine; and to whose wise counsels the profitable use of the public money was mainly due. The services of Mr. Rawlinson, which were purely honorary, have within the last • few days been substantinlly recognised by the Government by a cheque for £l,OOO. Shortly after four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon a severe thunderstorm passed over Bolton and the neigh bourhood. Vivid flashes of lightning and the most deafening peals of thunder followed each other in quick succession, while the rain fell in torrents for about twenty minutes. At Little Lever a travelling pedlar, named John Morris, was struck down by the electric fluid, and killed upon the spot. THE LONDON ARABS.--On Monday morning 1,140 of the newspaper and fusee boys and girls who frequent the General Post-office, the Mansion-house, and the city railway stations left the Broad-street Station of the North London Railway for Hampstead-heath. They were accompanied by Mr. J. M. Cook, son of the well-known excursion agent, of Fleet-street, Mr. Orman, of the Golden-lane Mission Schools, and several other gentlemen who take an interest in the ragged school movement. An extensive programme of amusements was prepared for the delectation of the excursionists, but, owing to the heavy rain th a t preva il e d d ur i ng th e whole day, it could not be carried out, and a very great difiappointment was the consequence. MODEL LODGING-ROUSES FOR BIRMINGHAM — Model lodging-houses are about to be opened for the ac commodation of the working men of Birmingham, who are obliged to resort at present to common lodging-house pre mises, at 376, Summer Lane, formerly the Sydenham Medi cal College, having been fitted up with great care for the health and , comfort of the occupants. There are 13 first class, 33 second-class, and 24 third-class beds, the first each in a small room to itself, the second in open rooms, and the third in open rooms ; two persons to sleep in a bed. The charges are to be the same as in common lodging houses-4d. a night for the second-class, or 2s. per week ; 3d. a night for the third-class, or is. Gd. per week. The first-class beds aro to be Gd. a night, or 3s. per week. Each of the latter has its own washing place, and in the other •classes there are lavatories. A large kitchen is available for cooking to be done by the lodgers themselves, and each lodger is provided with a separate locker for his food. The kitchen serves also as a common sitting-room, where smoking will be allowed, and there is a superior sitting room provided with papers and books. The rooms are , clean, lofty, and well ventilated, and heated with hot 'Water pilx3s. They are licensed for 93 beds, but only 70 are placed in them, to prevent overcrowding. lIISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. The following passages from the greatest of all Sir Walter Scott's romances, his "Life of Napoleon Buena parte," have an extraordinary interest at this moment, as illustrating in a remarkable way the mysterious manner in which, according to a familiar proverb, history is a series of repetitions. Our first extract is taken from the account of the first fall of the First Empire, and the ad vance of the Allies afterwards upon Paris, with a view to its occupation. The very first place mentioned, in this record by Scott of the approach of the European Powers to the French capital, has acquired since then, in fact very recently, a horrible interest, as the scene of the diabolical murders perpetrated by the monster Tropp mann. The Scotch historian of Napoleon writes : The Sovereigns had previously received, at the village of Pantin, the magistrates of Paris, and Alexander had expressed himself in language still more explicit than that of their, proclamation. He made war, he said, on • Napo leon alone ; one who had been his friend, but relinquished that character to become his enemy, and inflict on his empire great evils. He was not, however, come to re taliate those injuries, but to make a secure peace with any Government which France might select for herself. "I am at peace," said the Emperor, " with France, and at war with Napoleon alone." These gracious expressions were received with the more gratitude by the citizens of Paris that they had been taught to consider the Russian prince as a barbarous and vindictive enemy. The mea sure of restoring the Bourbons seemed now to be regarded by almost everyone, not particularly connected with the dynasty of Napoleon, like a haven on the leeward, unex pectedly open to a tempest-tossed and endangered vesi,el. There was no loss of honour in adopting it. since the French received back their own Royal Family—there was no compulsion, since they received them upon their:own free choice. They escaped from a great and imminent danger as if it had been by a bridge of gold. An immense crowd filled the boulevards (a large wide open promenade, which, under a variety of distinctive names, forms a circuit round the city), in order to witness the entrance "of the allied Sovereigns and tit* army, wkill„ in, the cession of four-and-twenty hours, thi s m u t a bl e p eop l e - were disposed to regard as friends rather than enemies—a, disposition which increased until it amounted to enthu siasm for the persons of those p r i nces , aga i ns t w h om a bloody battle had been fought yesterday under the walls of Paris, in evidence of which mortal strife there still remained blackening in the sun the unburied thousands who had fallen on both sides. There was in this a trait of national character. A Frenchman submits with a good grace, and apparent or real complaisance, to that which he cannot help ; and it is not the least advantage of his philosophy that it entitles him afterwards to plead that his submission flowed entirely from goodwill, and 'not from constraint, Many of those who on the preceding day were forced to fly from the heights which defend Paris thought themselves at liberty next morning to maintain that the allies had entered the capital only by their con sent and pomission, because they had joined in the plaudits which accompanied their arrival. To vindicate, therefore, their city from the disgrace of'being entered by force, as well as giving way to the, real enthusiasm which was suddenly inspired by the exchange of the worst evils which a conquered people have to dread for the promised blessings of an honourable peace and internal concord, the Parisians received the Emperor Alexander and the King of Prussia with such general and unremitting plaudits as might have accompanied their triumphal entrance into their own capitals. Even at their first entrance within the barriers, we learn from Sir Charles Stewart's official despatch, the crowd was already so enormous, as well as the acclamation so great, that it was difficult to move forward; but before the monarchs had reached the Porte St. Martin to turn on the boulevards, there was a moral impossibility of preceding; all Paris seemed to be assembled and concentrated he one spot—one spring evidently directed all their movements. They thronged around the monarchs, with the most unanimous shouts of " Vive l'Empereur Alexandre !—Vive le Roi de Prusse !" mingled with the loyal exclamations, " Vive le Roi ! ' Vive Louis XVIIL !—Vivent les Bourbons !" To such unexpected unanimity might be applied the words of • Scripture, quoted by Clarendon on a similar occasion— " God had prepared the people, for the thing was done suddenly." The procession lasted several hours, during which 50,000 chosen troops of the Silesian and Grand Army filed along the boulevards in broad and deep columns, exhibiting a whole forest of bayonets, mingled with long trains of artillery, and preceded by numerous regiments of cavalry of every description. - Nothing sur prised those who witnessed this magnificent spectacle ' more than the high state of good order and regular equipment in which the men and horses appeared. They seemed rather to resemble troops drawn from peaceful quarters to some grand or solemn festival than regi ments engaged during a long winter campaign in constant marches and countermarches, as well as in a succession of the fiercest and most sanguinary conflicts, and who bad fought a general action but the day before. After making the circuit of half of Paris by the interior boulevards, the monarchs halted in the Champs-Elysées, and the troops passed in review before them as they were dismissed to their quarters in the city. The Cossacks of the Guard established their bivouac in the Champs-Elysdes them selves, which may be termed the Hyde P ar k o f P ar i s, and which was thus converted into a Scythian encamp ment. Our next extract from Scott's " Life of Napoleon" is descriptive of the events subsequent to the Great Em peror's second abdication, and the second entrance of the Allies into the. French capital : On the 29th of June, Napoleon departed from Malinai son ;on the 3rd of July he arrived at Rochefort. General -Beker accompanied him, nor does his journey seem to have been marked by any circumstance worthy of remark. Wherever he came, the troops received him with accla mation ; the citizens respected the misfortunes of one who had been well nigh master of the world, and were silent where they could not applaud. Thus, the reign of the Emperor Napoleon was completely ended. But, before adverting to his future fate, we must complete, in a few words, the consequences of his abdication, and offer some remarks on the circumstances by which it was extorted and enforced. The Provisional Government had sent commissioners to the Duke of Wellington to request passports for Napoleon to the States of America. The Duke had no instructions from his Government to grant them. The Prussian and English generals alike declined all overtures made for the establishment, or acknowledg ment, either of the present Provisional administration or any plan which they endeavoured to suggest, short of the restoration of the Bourbons to the seat of Government. The Previsional Commissioners endeavoured, with as little success, to awaken the spirit of national defence. They had lost the road to the soldiers' hearts. The thoughts of patriotism had in the army become indissolubly united with the person and the qualities of .Napoleon. It was in vain that deputies, with scarfs, and proclama tions of public right, and invocation of the ancient watch words of the Revolution, endeavoured to awaken the spirit of 1794. The soldiers and federates answered sul lenly, " Why should we fight any more? we have no longer an Emperor." _ On the 7th of July the Provisional Commission dissolved itself. The Chamber of Peers, when they heard the act of surrender, dispersed in silence; but that of the Repre sentatives continued to sit, vote, and debate, for several hours. The president then prorogued the meeting till eight; the next morning, in defiance of the cries of several members, who called on him to maintain the literal per manence of the sitting. The next morning the members who attended found the hall sentinelled by the National Guard, who refused them admittance, and heard the ex clamations and complaints of the deputies with great dis regard. Nay, the disappointed and indignant legislators were subjected to the ridicule of the idle spectators, who accompanied the arrival and retreat of each indivi dual with laughter and acclamation, loud in proportion to the apparent excess of histiortificatien. On the Bth of July, Louis re-entered his capital, attended by avery large body of the National Guards and Royal Volunteers, as well as by his household troops. In the rear of these soldiers came a numerous tat major, among whom were distinguished the MardschaLs Victor, Marmont, Mac donald, Oudinot, Gouvion St. Cyr, Moncey, and Lefebvre. An immense concourse of citizens received, with acclamations, the legitimate monarch ; and the females were observed to be particularly eager in their ex pressions of joy, Thus was Louis again installed in the palace of his ancestors, over which the white banner once more floated. Here, therefore, ended that short space, filled with so much that is wonderful, that period of a Hundred Days, in which the events of a century seemed to be contained. As justifying in a very signal manner our remark that Sir Walter Scott's " Life of Napoleon " was the greatest of all his romances, we will now give an extract from " An Eye-Witness " of the entrance of Louis XVIII. into Paris in 1815—an entrance so imaginatively described by Sir Walter on mere hearsay, as marked by " eager expres sions of joy," and. " the acclamations " of an immense con course. The eye-witness, whose testimony we shall adduce, was there on that Bth of July, and himself saw and heard what occurred upon the occasion. He was a soldier, an historian, an Englishman. He was then Colonel Napier, afterwards Sir William Napier, Governor of Guernsty and author of " The Military Annals of the Peninsular War ?" What are the words of this credible and authoritative writer ? They are these : The feelings of the British soldiers were unequivocally shewn. Proud of their long victorious course against the French, they yet respected the latter as brave enemies, and had a proud admiration, even love, for Napoleon. They thought of him not as a foe, but as a hero standing alone ' • a soldier to b e h a il e d b y all sold i ers ; ns a man who had enabled them to gain the greatest possible glory by fighting him : a master in war, and the fast friend of warriors. Their instinct as fighting men was for him, and as freemen against the bourbons. When Louis the Eighteenth entered Paris, the writer, his post being then at the head of the picquets guarding the Barrier of St. Denis, was asked by the captain on duty there if he was to salute. I have no orders on that head and give none, was the reply. The King came up, crowds thronged forward, and the words Vive and Roa were heard on all , sides ; but the last was generally preceded by the words L'Empereur et, pronounced in a low tone. The British soldiers, left to themselves, brought down their muskets from the shoulder, and placing their hands on the muzzles, fiercely regarded the approaching King. He seemed sur prised, but soon his countenance assumed a look of such malignant ferocity, so fixed, so peculiar, as never to be forgotten. This striking, description —as vivid as a photograph— occurs in the first of the four volumes of Sit William Napier's life of his brother, Sir Charles James Napier, the Conqueror of Scinde. It will be found there in the Ninth Epoch, page 267. It is from an eyewitness and an ear witness of the actual scene. But this is not all. Ilead down the rest of that page, and turn the leaf ! It will then be seen what reliance is to be placed upon the mere hearsay statements of a Tory partisan, who was by the whole force of his genius not an historian, not a biographer, but a novelist and a romance writer. Colonel, that is Sir William Napier, writes thus in continuation : A number of mousquetaires in burnished cuirasses, their faces convulsed with anger, then rode up, shouting, gesticulating, and brandishing their swords ; but close behind the picquet was a wall, and the swarthy veterans, hard as the steel of their bayonets, and with wits as sharp, knew their advantage. keeping their bronzed faces bent over their hands, their eyes glared sternly, yet no movement indicated that they were even sensible of the musquetaires' presence, until the latter clo se d w i t hi n a few paces and seemed dangerous ; then suddenly all their heads were lifted, and streams of tobacco-juice flew to wards the shining cuirasses, whereupon the courtier sol diers followed the chariot of the king. A shout of delight arose from the crowd, and many well-dressed women em braced the Biitish veterans. So much for the " acclamations" of the "irnmens e concourse of citizens," and for " the females who were observed to be particularly eager in their expressions of joy," described by Sir Walter Scott. Sir William Napier was there, and saw the malignant ferocity in the eyes of the king, and heard the shouts of delight when the royal mousquetaires were threatened with th,e squirted tobacco juice, and watched the British veterans when they were mehbraced by the fair Parisians! So history is written. WAR RIOTS IN IRELAND. A correspondent telegraphs that a riot of a serious character has taken place at Lurgan. As soon as news had been received of the surrender of Marshal Mac- Mahon's army and of the Emperor a large number of Orangemen assembled for the purpose of celebrating the Prussian victories. In proceeding through the town they carried a portrait of the Crown Prince before them. Several houses of the opposite party were wrecked. A Roman Catholic mob also attacked and wrecked several Protestant houses. Great excitement prevailed.yesterday. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE, t 7 y . .41f:;!, WARWICK RACES.-YESTERDAY. WELTER CUP. Four ran.

Foot and mouth disease is spreading in East Lancashire to an alarming extent. During. last week the disease broke out on no fewer than 27 farms, and affected 211 head of cattle. The fact that the farms are scattered over ten townships shews the threatening nature of the outbreak. At the Liverpool police-court, on Tuesday, Char lotte Elliot, a young woman from Ashford, Kent, was committed for trial on a charge of wilfully murdering her child a few days ago at Liverpool. The unfortunate woman had previously been committed for trial on the same charge by the coroner's jury. His Royal Highness Prince Arthur was expected yesterday at Dunrobin Castle, Golspie, on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland.
