He shall found no dynasty ;he shall wear no durable Crown. 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 good deeds, and none to lament his destruction."

A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IN NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL, AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS. BY EDWARD SPENDER PRIDE 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 itine rar y , but designed to give the voyager an intelligent interest in the manners, customs, industries, and institutions of the districts he is expl 'ring. Pm • intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spendex 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, 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 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 `tack ' 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.

THE ILLUSTRATED NATURAL HISTOII Y of BRITISH MOTHS. By Edward Newman. F.L.S.. F.Z.S. Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature ; also a description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of Appearance, and Localities where found. Each moth is drawn from nature by George Willis, and engraved in his best style by John Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species and if varieties require it, three, four, five, and even sir figures are given The work Is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at Id. each. The work is also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at - ls. Gd. each part. Part X. now ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had. "We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and .Publication of. this ipagnificent work."—Fiekt. 13Cith to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work will be invaluable."—Daily Telegraph. " It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species, and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advant ges 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. We regard it as very useful addition to our library." Land and Water. Oct. 9. London—W. TWEEDIE. 337. _ _ T4.7OUNG ENGLAND. Complete in three hand somely bound Volumes.

NORWICH ELECTION.—In consequence of the ap pointment of Mr. Mellish as a Lord Justice of Appeal, Mr. O'Malley has been retained as leading counsel for the petitioner in the matter of the Norwich election peti- tion. PRESENTATION TO THE MASTER CUTLER OF SHEFFIELD.—For some time past a strong feeling has prevailed that the liberal and energetic conduct of the present Master Cutler of Sheffield, Mr. Mark Firth, during his three years of office, should receive some acknowledgment from the company whose interests he had protected. Accordingly, on Monday he was presented with an illuminated address and a badge or signet of office, which is to be worn by the successive master cutlers. The presentation was made by Mr. Bragge, the master cutler elect, and eulogistic speeches were delivered by Mr. Hutchinson, Sir John Brown, and Mr. C. Atkin son. Subsequently the usual forfeit feast was held, and overs were laid for about 80 guests. FROM THE CONVENT TO THE STAGE.—A young lady who was mixed up in the Hull convent case, Saurin v. Starr, is now fulfilling an engagement at the Alhambra Music Hall, Nottingham. It may be remembered that while at Hull Miss Sarnia had the supervision of the con vent school, in which a Miss Bessy Armytage was a teacher. One of the " sins" of insubordination laid to the charge of Miss Saurin was that on one occasion she put back the school clock. Miss Saurin denied the accu sation, and a subpcena was issued for the attendance of Miss Armytage, who in the witness-box confessed that she committed the "sinful" act. On leaving Hull Miss Armytage joined Madame Tonnellier's opera company, and for the last two or three years she has been singing at music halls. She is a young lady of prepossessing appearance, and has a fine contralto voice. At the Alhambra, on Monday night, she sang the popular old ballad, " I cannot mind my wheel, mother," and the merry laughing song, " I'll be no submissive wife."—Nottingham Journal. V • k EVENING EDI OZOKERIT (PATEN TED). COMIC PAPERS (From Punch.) A NEUTRAL QUESTION. —Could not our valiant but vain neighbours be brought to agree to a modus vivendi with the Germans on reasonable terms ? It is odd that .they prefer a modus moriendi on unequal terms. As the poor Irishwomen at a " wake " cry in deaf ears, we ma, also demand of the fallen French soldiers—" Why did ye die ? " QUESTIONABLE. —In one of Edmond About's letter to the Soir, he says :—" But Providence or chance put me to bed on Sunday night in the same chamber where Mar shal MacMahon slept the evening before, and General Baron Gersdorf two days after. I found in it a . packet of telegraphic despatches, forgotten by the Marshal. These papers did not belong to me, so I gave them up. They belonged to history. I took a copy of them." Quite right to give these papers up, M. About, but quite wrong, as we think, to copy them. Who can no w be sur p rised at Ministers of War and Commanders-in-Chief not• re ceiving newspaper. correspondents with open arms? NEWS, NEWS, NEWS ! The war and nothing but the war— Crambe repetita Very bad at such a time To have to be a fighter. But worse to be a reader, And, worst of all, a writer ! (From Fun.) GOOD IN EvlL.—The Money Market Review describes the state of business—which it afterwards speaks of as an indisposition—in the Stock Exchange as a " partial paralysis." We trust it only attacks the "legs," in which case the constitution generally will be benefited. THE SAME WITH A DIFFERENCE.—The renian General O'Neil, now in Burlington Gaol for his absurd attempt to invade Canada has been "interviewed" by that irrepres sible sible being the Yankee newspaper correspondent :—" The reporter asked him to explain candidly to what his failure was to be attributed. The general replied that it was owing ' entirely and solely to lack of men.' " We quite agree with this—"entirely and solely," we should say, "to lack of men," especially generals. LT.

" The Wellington," Wellington-strect, Strand! MOVEMENTS OF MA.CMAHON. The movenient of MacMahon on Rheims just reported seems an obvious piece of strategy. The Crown Prince could not go on beyond Chalons with 100,000 Men near his flank. He must stop altogether, or turn aside to attack them on their own ground. MacMahon, in fact, would revive the day of Valmy. But Von Moltke is no Brunswick, and the Crown Prince's army is but one of three. A report reaches us, from a source which fur nishes at least an authoritative French view of the situa tion, that MacMahon with two divisions of the army just concentrated at Rheims has started by train for Montmedy via M4zieres, there to join a portion of Bazaine's troops escaped from Metz. Their object would then be to place themselves on the west of the Prussian position, while the guns of Metz opened on the enemy from the other, probably with the aid of a sortie. A hope seems to be entertained that one result of these tactics might be to afford the remaining body of Bazaine's troops an opportunity of getting. away from Metz. No intention, we gather, is entertained of attacking the Crown Prince, who will be allowed to make his way to the capital if he chooses, on the assumption, apparently, that if the French win a victory at Metz they can deal with the 3rd Prussian Army as it comes back, which it would soon be forced to do, while if they again fail matters can hardly be worse than they are now.—Pall Mall Gazette. THE MURDER AND SUICIDE AT BA.TII. The following full particulars of the tragedy at Bath have reached us. The scene of the melancholy affair was No 1, Spencer's Bellevue, Bath—a house which for some little time past has been occupied by a person named Prankard as a collegiate school for junior boys. It appeared that some little time ago Mr. Prankard lost his wife, which greatly affected him, and it is currently stated that in consequence he had greatly given way to intemperate habits. On Monday he appears to have reached the climax of his mental depres sion. Miss Minnie Prankard, one of the daughters of Mr. Prankard, was about to leave home for a situation on the Continent ; the packing incidental to the removal was being proceeded with on Monday, and in the course of the afternoon the servant overheard some high words between Mr. Prankard and this daughter in the school room, a younger daughter being also present. The sub ject of the quarrel was the young lady's journey, to which her father strongly objected. About three o'clock in the afternoon the unfortunate man went into the schoolroom, in which were his two daughters, with a revolver concealed under a pocket-handkerchief which he carried in his hand, and instantly fired twice at his elder daughter a hand some young lady of 21 years of age, striking 'her in the right ear with one bullet, and in the left temple with the other, and causing her instantaneous death. He then seems to have turned round on his younger daughter, and also fired two shots at her, wounding her in such a dreadful manner that she was left by him for dead. Having satisfied himself that his deadly work was done, he immediately locked the door on them and rushed upstairs to his own bedroom, where, after securely bolting himself in, he destroyed him self by a dose of prussic acid. Shortly af: er being left the youngest daughter recovered her consciousness, and gathering up her strength as well as she could, hastened to the window, which overlooked the garden, and by means of the roofs of some outhouses succeeded in getting from the parlour floor into the erden, and thence into the adjoining house, which is occupied by the Rev. J. H. Way, minister of Christ Church, Montpelier. The poor girl left sad traces of the way by which she made her escape, the window frame, window sill, and the roofs of the outhouses being covered with blood. The room in which the tragic scene occurred presented a fearful spec tacle, the long school desk on which the younger girl had fallen being literally - surrounded with blood. On reaching , the next house she was instantly . attended to, and medi cal assistance was promptly obtained ; but she was so ex hausted by loss of blood as to be unable to give any leng thened account of the transaction. The house where the tragedy occurred was at once taken possession of by the police, who were unable, however, for a long time to find the revolver h which body of the murd father the erous work had been d wit th e one. On found over £5 in cash, but he seems to have left no statement as to the cause of his rash act. An inquest was held on the bodies on Tuesday evening, when the above facts were deposed to, and the younger girl, though not well enough to be present, was enabled to make a statement to the medical attendant, Mr. Mason. The verdict of t he jury was that the deceased man had committed the murder while in a temporary state of A later dispatch says that a third daughter is insanity. missing. It is reported at Constantinople that immediately after the outbreak of the Sultan offered to conclude an offensive and defensive alliance with the Emperor Napoleon, but the proposal was declined.—Eastern Budget. The Church Herald expresses much satisfaction that Bishop Harris, of Gibraltar, has refused in any way to help a party of Spaniards who wished to leave the Church of Rome and become Anglicans. The .Record deplores the circumstance. There is reason to believe that a compromise will shortly be effected between the Austrian Government and the opponents of the new Constitution. A conference with this object has been held between the President of the Vienna Ministry and the leaders of the opposition in Bohemia, Moravia, S tyria, and the Tyrol.—Eastern Budget. On Tuesday, at Leeds, four persons were summoned before the magistrates for refusing to have their children vaccinated. One of the defendants, a chemist, named Toulson, was summoned for the thirteenth time. All the defendants were ordered to comply with the Act, and to pay costs. THE PUBLIC HEALTH.—Last week the rate o mortality in London and nineteen other large towns in the United Kingdom was 27 in every thousand of the population. It varied from 17 in Portsmouth to 41 in Bradford and Liverpool. In the metropolis, 2,112 births and 1398 deaths were registered, the former having been 31 above and the latter 103 below the estimated number. Zyrriotic diseases caused 538 deaths, includiny 10 from small-pox, 15 from measles, 126 from scarlet fever, 2 from diphtheria, 9 from croup, 17 from whooping cough, 7 from typhus, 31 from enteric (or typhoid) fever, 12 from simple continued fever, 5 from erysipelas, and 248 from diarrhoea. Thirty-eight deaths resulted from violence, and four fatal accidents caused by horses or vehicles in the streets were returned. The mean temperature during the week was 609 or 0 . 3 below the average At the half-yearly meeting of the Submarine Tele graph Company on Tuesday, the chairman, Sir J. Car michael, said that there had been an increase on the working of the company's own Belgian and French lines of 15 per cent. He congratulated the shareholders upon the completion of the new Havre cable. It was one of the finest heavy cables ever made in this country, and the landing-places for the shore ends had been selected with the greatest care, so as not to be interfered with by anchorage. There were six wires in this cable, and this work now completed all the company had undertaken. Sir J. Carmichael added that he was sorry to say that there had been some well-founded complaints as to delays in the transmission of messages , but the cause did not rest with the company. ll the best clerks on the other side had been draughted off to take part in the gigantic war, and the great want was effi cient French clerks to transmit the messages. He said that the company had thirty-two wires to the Continent, exclusive of the Channel Islands wire and the Brest wire, used for the transmission of American mes sages. With the new Government wires there were twelve more, making forty-four wires, besides those he bad mentioned. The report was adopted. AUGUST 25, 1870. EST ERD AY, MONELV Owing to the absence of intelligence froni Pru ssian sources it was believed to-day that there is probably some truth in the reported movement of Marshal Bazaine from Metz. Whether this be the case or not, it is evident that there is now more reason to fear a prolongation of the war than there has been since the commencement of hostilities. On this account all classes of securities have ruled heavy to-day, and values have had a downward tendency. Occasional transactions fde the speedy realisa tion of profits, or to close outstanding accounts, ha Ye also been noted. In short, the stock markets are now in a very sensitive condition, and the slightest cause of alarm is likely to lead lo movements more violent than can be justified by any reasonable lift- of the situation.

Egyptian of 1868 left off at 73i to 74 ; Peruvian, at 85 to 80 ; Mexican, at 14 to 141. American securities have continued dull, owing to further sales of stock on German account. Five-twenty Bonds closed at 87/ to 881; Ten-forties, at 82 to 83. There has been a demand for Imperial Ottoman Bank, shares, which closed at 114 to 121 prem. The market for home railway stocks has participated in the general dulness, and prices have receded on realisa tions. Midland shares declined to 1261 to 127 ; Great Western to 66i to 67 and London and ltorth•Western to 1261 to 127—being a tedtietiori of in each case.

Money has continued abundant, and the open market minimum has further tended downwards. Good three months bills were to-day taken at 3 per cent., but the supply of paper was very short. The sum of £BO,OOO was sent into the Bank of England to-day, while £lO,OOO sovereigns were withdrawn for Switzerland. The City of Brooklyn has arrived here from New York with £470,000 in specie. It is stated that the new North German loan of £15,000,000, recently subscribed for at 88, has advanced to 7 premium on the Berlin Bourse. The weekly traffic return of the Midland Railway for the week ending August 21 shews an increase of £2,780 upon the corresponding week of last year. The North Eastern has an increase of £7,462; and the Cork and Bandon line of £35. At the meeting of the Submarine Telegraph Company, the report of the directors was adopted, the dividend agreed to being at the rate of Gi per cent. The report of the directors of the North and South Western Junction Railway Company, skews an available balance of £3,037, out of which a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. is recommended. A telegram received from Hong Kong says that the Hong Kong and Shanghae Banking Corporation states that the result of the last half-year to 30th June will give the usual dividend of 12 per cent. per annum, and shews a surplus of 100,000 dollars to be carried forward. The dividend on Great Western Railway stock for the half-year has been announced at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, leaving about £15,000 to be carried for ward.

LONIION CORN EXCHANGE, MARIC.LANE, WEDNESDAY. — The grain trade to-day was characterised by quietness. There was a fair supply of new English wheat on offer, and the ar rivals from abroad were rather large. The demand for all qualities ruled inactive, and the rates current on Mon day were with difficulty maintained. Barley was pur chased cautiously at about previous cUrrancies. Malt was quiet, on former terms. Oats were in abundant sup ply. Sales progressed slowly, at scarcely late rates. The supply of beaus was short • nevertheless the demand was re stricted at Monday's quotations. Peas were dull and unaltered. Town made flour was quiet. Country marks unaltered. Barret flour beirl&r scarce was in request. Consequently prices were supported. Afrivals.—English and Scotch : Wheat, 1,120 ; and malt, 500.

We now learn from official documents that the intended Amazon Corps, under the leadership of /Liss Minna Hansel, of Berlin, was more than a joke. That spirited lady had actually already gathered fifty-three young heroines under her banners, all ready and eager for the fray, and defying those critical remarks which, Miss Hansel says, " were of course to be expected in these frivolous days of ours." Yet before pro ceeding further it was considered wise to inquire at head quarters in what portion of the army these female volun teers would be considered most desirable. A letter was therefore addressed to Governor-General Von Falckeu stein, whose answer, somewhat delayed, arrived a few days ago. He declines with many thanks the patriotic offer of their guarding the coast—one of the proposals —" since he had in the course of a journey of inspection cohvinced himself personally of their sufficient protection, but he would suggest to them to enrol themselves among the land troops . ' Miss Hansel, however, " considering the rapid and victorious progress of the war," thinks that the delay in the general's answer has frustrated her plans, and has accordingly disbanded her corps." THE MARQUIS OF BUTE. The Marquis of Bute has lately attracted no incon siderable degree of attention, and the curiosity of the public as to his lordship's wealth and his lordship's religion has been largely stimulated by the novel of the season and the comments thereupon. But long as the list of titles which the Marquis now enjoys (for he is also the Earl of Windsor, Viscount Mountjoy, Baron Mountstuart, Baron Cardiff, Earl of Dumfries, Viscount Air, Lord Crichton, Earl of Bute, Viscount Kingarth, Lord Mountstuart, Cwmra, and Inchmarnock), there is one, more an cient than any, of which he has hitherto been unjustly deprived. Lord Bute has just been proved heir to the earldom of March, theorigin of which dignity is a little obscure, but which is referred with much probability to the eleventh century. For five generations the Dunbars, Earls of March, occupied a high position in Scotland, superior even to that of the Douglasses, and almost equal to that of the Cumins. George, seventh Earl of March, having been affronted by the Scottish monarch, threw off his allegiance and fought upon the side of Henry IV. at the battle of Shrewsbury. The result of this act was that in 1434 King James L revenged himself by procuring the attainder of the earl's son and the forfeiture of his estates. The exiled peer and his beggared family took refuge in England, and soon sunk into such obscurity that the date and manner of the earl's death are alike unknown. Mr. A. Sin clair has discovered evidence to prove that the eventual heir of the Dunbars married, in the 16th century, William Macdowall of Dowalstoun. The descent of the Marquis of Bute from that marriage is clear enough, as also is the fact that inheritance of the earldom of March, is, like most ancient Scotch dignities, open to female heirs. Whether the Marquis will care to encumber himself by any fresh addi tion to his numerous dignities is more doubtful. THE NAVY AND THE FORTS. Since the increase of work in Chatham Dockyard com menced, at the outbreak of the war, about 350 additional hands have been entered, and a notice has been issued stating that there are now no vacancies except for black smiths. Numerous entries of artisans and labourers have recently been made at the Devonport Dockyard and Key ham Steam Reserve, but these have now ceased, as the numbers required ii.the various departments are complete. Up to the present time upwards of 500 men, including all classes of mechanics, &c., have been entered at Portsniouth Dockyard under the Admiralty minute for increasing the labour strength of the principal yards, and with this large addition the work in hand is being rapidly advanced. t T u h rr e e v t e m ss o e n ls it c o o r ns D tru ev c as tin ta g tio a n t , P 4 ,0 screw frigate Blonde, 4, 031 tons ; and the Comet and 4rto6sm tonsouth ; t a h r e e u t n h ar e m d o o u u b r l e e d - Blazer, two gun-vessels of 212 tons each. The masonry c w en il t l ra b e e ters offi i e n ia t l h ly e of the three forts at Spithe ad is rapidly approaching handed overcompletion, taon the it e is Governmentexpected y they te h course of a couple of months. There still remains, how ever, the important addition of the metal facing with which each of the three forts is to be protected before they can be said to be in fighting order. The forts were begun in 1859, and form a large item in the £7,000,000 granted that year for the defence of our harbours, arsena ls, &e. The Dover Chronicle has ascertained that there is not a single gun mounted on any fort in that garrison that would penetrate even a third - rate ironclad. The best gun mounted is a 7-inch breech-loading Armstrong, only firing shell shots. The next best gun is an old smooth-bore 42- pounder of an obsolete pattern, which was never more than provisionally adopted into the service. The citadel is armed exclusively with 64-pounder Widge guns, also of an obsolute pattern. There are several other guns of a heavier nature, such as 12-ton and 7-ton guns, but, by the orders of a Liberal Government, they are at the pre , sent time lying on skidding at Archcliffe Fort and Guild ; ford Battery. The Archbishop of York has left Bishoptborpe for Scotland, where he will remain until the end of September.
