President—the Right Hon. the Earl of STRAFFORD, F.R.S. This Hospital has relieved upwards of 24000 patients since its foundation, and is in g rea t NEED of FUNDS to meet the heavy current expenses, EDMUND WYLD, Secretary. The Civilian believes that an important proposal is about to be made affecting the warehousing and out door departments of the Customs, and believes that the same terms given in the Admiralty and War Office will be extended to those retiring from the Customs. A. despatch from Rheims to the Agence Havas states that several persons who were at the railway station of Rheims have confirmed the report of the attempted assassination of a General by a Prussian, who supposed him to be Marshal MacMahon. The Privy Council has awarded the sum of £45 4s. to Dr. Yarrow, public vaccinator of St. Luke's, London, for excellence of vaccination. The sum of £46 has also been awarded to Mr. J. Angus, of Newcastle-on- Tyne, for efficiency in the same branch of practice. Another competitive examination, says the British medical Journal, will be held at Somerset House in November next, to fill up the further vacancies in the Naval Medical Service consequent on the recent large batch of promotions and retirements. The Musical Standard says that Mr. Strange has decidedly " hit the mark" among a large class in Paris, by his "courageous and original" venture at the Chatelet Theatre. The gaiety of the English actors is amusingly characterised by a French journalist as •` brutal, but frank and honest." The death is announced of Mr. Richard Wel bank, one of the senior fellows and formerly a member of council of the Royal College of Surgeons of England, aged seventy-four. Mr. Welbank was a pupil of the late Mr. Abernethy, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, and was ad mitted a member of the college in 1820. The Musical Standard - says that at Berlin the only , pieces possible at the theatres with or without music, are those with political allusions. A new operetta entitled " The Rape of the Sabines," and based upon the well known incident in early Roman history, has been produced at the Frederich-Wilhelms tacit Theatre : it is a slight work, however, little raised above a ballet.

A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IN NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL, END 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 expl ring. Fm intending visitors td 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 staf 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 remembraucer." —Sun " Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is a very delightful little book. The essay on Norway is particularly full of information, but the others are not far behind it in proportion to their length, and all are written in a genial spirit."—Globe. "Without being exactly a guide-book, it answers all the pur poses of one, and contains beside a vast quantity of information, all given in the most condensed form possible. There is not a line of space wasted in fine writing, but the descriptions of scenery bear witness to the author's genuine love and appreciation of the picturesque, just as his closely compreksed facts and statements prove the practical and hardworking man of letters."—Man chester Courier.

" Both 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 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."--Stamiard. "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. Newmen'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.

The business concluded has been very limited, and the movement in prices haVe been wholly unimportant. The cause of the prevalent inactivity is the absence of any news from the seat of war, and the 'belief that the events of the next few days will go far to determine the duration of hostilities. The market for Home Securities has been unsettled Consols opened steadily at an improvement of 1 per cent. but there was subsequently a reaction, and the advance was lost. For delivery the quotation now is 911 to 91.11, and for the September accounts 911 to 911. Reduced and New Three Per Cents., 911 to 911. Bank Stock, 232 to 234. Exchequer Bills, Is. to 6s. prem.

As regards the exchanges there has been rather less de mand for bills on Paris, but those on Italy have been in request. The Patagonia, from Valparaiso, has brought 252,600. The steamers which left New York yesterday took out £lOO,OOO in specie. In the discount market to-day much quietness has been noticed. Capital has continued plentiful, and there has been but little inquiry for accommodation. Three Month's paper has been negotiated at 3} per cent. The Nile, from the West Indies, has brought £199,686 in specie. Messrs. Pixley, Abell, Langley and Blake, with re ference to the state of the bullion market state that about £459,000, in bars and soverigns, has been taken to the Bank of England since our last, and 90,000 sovereigns have been withdrawn. Owing to the danger of transmis sion the demand for export has materially abated, not withstanding the low quotation of the Paris Exchange. A large proportion of recent arrivals will probably be purchased by the Bank.

MARK -LANE, FRIDA.Y:— There was a slight improyement noticeable in the corn market to-day, and the rates current on Monday were fairly supported. The receipts of both English and,foreign *heat were rather larger. Sales for all qualities progressed quickly, at about lath rates. Bailey was iu moderate supply and request, at unchanged quotations.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—The wheat trade was firm at this market to-day, at last week's rates. New wheat was in short supply, and parce's on the spot were well cleared off.

Sd. ; mutton, 3s. 4d. to ss. 4d. : lamb, ss. Gd. to 6s. ; veal, 4s. Sd. to ss. 4d. ; and pork, 4s. to Is. Sd. per Sibs. by the carcase. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL PRODUCE MARKETS, FRIDAY.

Barbadoes dabs. 245. to 255. ; brown and yellow graining, 265. to 295. ; St. Lucien, 225. to 245.; brown and yellow Jamaica, 235. to 28s. 6d. ; crystalised Deme rara, 335. 6d. to 345. ; graining Berbice, 335. to 325.

The market opened with a slow inquiry. Buyers seemed disposed to wait the further development of the war. The sales are likely to be 8,000 bales. Closing report :—This market has been very dull and slow all day. Prices rather favoured buyers. The sales were 8,000 bales, including 1,000 baleson speculation and for export. The market closed, however, somewhat better. MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, FRIDAY.--This market still continues very dull and inactive, and prices have receded from the highest point touched last week, about id. per lb. on yarn, and 3d. per piece generally on shirting cloth. At this reduction only a small business is doing, but there are plenty of offers in the market at about threepence per piece under quotation. These are chiefly for goods suitable for the East, but owing to the engagements which spinners and manufacturers have on hand they do not press sales, but adhere pretty firmly to their quotations. The lowering of the Bank rate has had no perceptible influence either on prices or de mand. The transactions in home trade yarns are small, as buyers anticipated lower prices. In shipping yarns the offer. now making are low and generally refused, and this applies to the large offers in the market for Eastern fabricss Quotations are—For 39-inch shirtings 71b., ordinary to best qua lities, Bs. to Bs. 9d. ; 39-inch shirtings, 81b. 4oz. ordinary to best, 9s. 6d. to 10s. Number 40's mule yarn good second, 13d. ; number 30's water twist, good seconds, 121 d. The market closed flat, with prices tending in favour of the buyers. The day's business sums up small. SOUTH WALES TRADE REPORT, FRIDAY.—No material change has taken place in the iron trade since the last report, but although there is no alteration in the quotations, a less hopeful feeling prevails ; and makers do not adhere so firmly to last quotations. The transactions for the week with American buyers continue satisfactory; but orders from the Continent have not realised manufacturers' expectations. The con tinued drought causes some anxiety to be felt by rail makers, who have every reason to dread it at the moment, when Continental works are closed, and thus interrupting operations. Pig iron is %till depressed, and shews no sign of early improve ment. Buoyancy characterises the tin-plate trade, makers' pro fits being enhanced by a downward tendency of prices of tin. The steam coal proprietors are all well placed for orders, and strong hopes are entertained of a further improvement being experienced. An average business is being done in house coal, at fair rates. GLASGOW PIG IRON MARKET, FRlDAY.—Closing report. This market was steady to-day. Buyers, 51s. Bd. cash ; sellers, Ms. 9d. CLYDE . CRUSHED SUGAR MARKET, FRIDAY.—There was a good business done at generally rather higher prices at this market to-day. . CORK BUTTER MARKET, FRlDAY.—Ordinary, firsts, 1275.; seconds, 1215.; thirds, 1135.; fourths, 1095.; fifths, 035.; sixths, 775. 3,270 firkins in the market. Mild cured firsts, 1335.; seconds, 1275. ; thirds, 117 s. 100 firkins in the market. GOVERNMENT PREPARATIONS FOR EMERGENCY. The Engineer says we have excellent authority for stating that the Government are manufacturing Snider rifles at Enfield, and have contracts with the Birmingham and London Small Arm Companies for this arm. The gun was originally adopted as a makeshift, and as a make shift it is now being made, the excuse being, after two years of most successful experiments with the Mar tini-Henry, that there is no time to manufacture this latter arm. The Snider may possess a better breech action than the Chassepot, but it is inferior to the latter in range and accuracy, just as the Chassepot is superior to the needle-gun in this respect. The corresponeent of the Daily News with the Prussian army says the Chasse pot kills quite as far as the needle-'gun. The efficiency of our troops is being sacrificed to make good Mr. Cardwell's statement of 300,000 breech-loaders in store. There appears to be great activity in the manu frcture of Armstrong guns at Elewick Ordnance Works, as heavy craft are taken to sea with new guns almost daily to test them. THE NATIONAL BANK IN CHANCERY The cause of the National Bank against Charles Laffitte and Co., was brought before Mr. Allen, Chief . Clerk in the Chambers of Vice Chancellor Bacon yesterday. The suit was instituted for the recovery of £150,000 under the following circumstances :—The Bank purchased the busi ness of the company for the sum in question, but after a short time discovered that the concern was in a thoroughly hopeless state of insolvency, and must eventually collapse. That result ensued Fhortly afterwards, when the Bank repudiated their liability of the payment of the purchase-money on the ground that they had not entered into possession. The defendants denied this allegation, stating that a sec retary had been appointed, and that the contract must, therefore, of necessity have been completed. The Master of the Rolls appointed a special examiner to inquire into the merits of the entire transaction, but the inquiry could not be proceeded with in consequence of the absolute refusal of one of the material witnesses to give evidence. Under those circumstances an adjournment was apphed for so as to bring the conduct of the witness under Lord Romilly's cognisance, and to that end a postponement took place until the first seal in term. The contract for the erection of the superstructure of the Manchester new Town Hall was let on Thursday to Messrs. G. Smith and Co., of Westminster. Their tender which was the lowest of eight, amounted to £192,574. PRICE 14 STAMPED `2,-* FIRST WARWICKSHIRE RIFLES The annual inspection of the First Battalion of War wickshire Rifles took place in Calthorpe Park a few days ago. The insPecting officer, Lieut.-Colonel Roche, was accompanied by Lord Leigh (the Lord Lieutenant of the county), and surrounded by the staff, consisting of Lieut.- Colonel Bagnall, Lieut.-Colonel Bmythe, Lieut.-Colonel • Machen, Surgeon-Major Manifold, Captain Boulton Leigh, Captain Bullen, Captain Burke, Captain Creigh ton Major Chattock, &c. The battalion, under the command of Lieut.=Colonell Ratcliff, mustered in strong force, the total number of all ranks on the ground amounting to 860. After the general salute, the inspection com menced: At the conclusion of the movements, Lieut.- Colonel Roche addressed Colonel Ratcliff and the batta lion. He said he had watched them very closely, and it delighted him very much to saythat he had seen very few to come up to them in appearance and in the manner in which their uniforms and accmtrements were kept. Addressing Colonel Ratcliff, the gallant Colonel said he should have much pleasure in reporting favourably, be cause he considered them an excellent battalion, and that they had shewn a spirit and an example which ought to be followed generally.—Lord Leigh congratulated Colonel Ratcliff and the battalion on the very high compliment that had been paid them by the very distinguished officer who had just addressed them.—Lieutenant-Colonel Ratcliff thanked Colonel Roche for the _ good opinion that he had 'expressed of dig conduct of the battalion and of their high state of efficiency. It would be to every member of the battalion a matter of very great pleasure to know that so distinguished an offi cer had expressed so high an opinion of their efficiency ; and he felt sure that there was not a single man among them but would be ready to sacrifice his life if the neces sity arose for that devotionwhich every one in this battal ion felt towards his Queen, his country, and his home. THE EXTRAORDINARY CONFESSION OF MURDER IN AUSTRALIA. At Bow-street yesterday, George Dyer, 47, clerk, late of 2, Halliford-street, Islington, was finally brought be fore Sir Thomas Henry, charged upon his own confession with wilfully slaying one George Wilson at the Loddon Gold Diggings, Victoria, Australia, in 1867. The prisoner was first brought up before Mr. Vaughan at this court on the 10th January of the present year, from which period until now he has frequently been brought before the magistrate and remanded. The first portion of the time he was admitted for dial. Communicationhad been made with Australia,_ the result of which was that a telegram was sent to this country, requesting the authorities to detain the prisoner, as his statement was fully corrobo rated, and an officer with a warrant for his apprehension had already started for England. The mail having arrived with the warrant officer, the prisoner Dyer was placed at the bar on Thursday afternoon, and the deposi tion.; taken on the former occasions were read over by Mr. Burnaby, the Chief Clerk. Dyer in these documents declared that he had struck his victim with a spade after the latter had drawn a knife on him. Mr. Thomas ordered the Australian police officer to be called. Robert Fulton Homes said : I am a sergeant of police stationed at Brighton, near Castlemaine, Australia. I produced a warrant signed by Mr. Thomas Dennis Strat ford Heron, police magistrate for the colony, and that is his signature signed in my presence. The warrant is for the apprehension of George Dyer, for the murder of 'George Wilson. I also produced some depositions taken at Castlemaine. (The warrant was here read to the prisoner), and can certify that they are true copies of the originals. I was present when the witness were examined upon oath. I was not present at the inquest on the body. Mr. Burnaby then read copies of the evidence taken in Australia, of which the following formed a part. Evidence of Victor Henry Charbrunet :—I am at present a storeman in a firm at Ballarat. In 1857 I was at Guil ford, near Pennyweight. I was with a mate named. Hypolite Riesa, gunsmith. I remember George Dyer and Wilson. They were working together. - .Dyer was a very small man with dark hair (the description exactly corres ponded with the prisoner at the bar). Wilson was bigger and stouter built, but not very fat. He had dark brown hair. A bout the end of that year Dyer left Pennyweight. I was more intimate with him than Wilson. About a year after I met Dyer. I think Wilson said he had been a sailor. Dyer, I should think, is 35, and had piercing eyes, and was very excited when irritated. Another witne-s said : I was employed in duck shoot ing at the time in question. I know the hole at Mia-mia Creek. It is the only- well near there used for drinking purposes. A tent was fixed near the spot, occupied by two men, who peeped out suspiciously when I passed. I passed the tent on my return, and it was stripped. Shortly afterwards the body was found in the well. Sir Thomas Henry finally cautioned the prisoner, and asked him if lie wished to make any statement. The prisoner, in a firm and clear voice : When I made the statement, Sir Thomas, I was certainly out of my mind. I wish to say that no quarrel ever occurred be tween George Wilson and me, and I certainly never killed him or any other man. But even assuming my statement to be correct, it contradicts in time and place the circumstances of the murder at Miamia Creek. I wish to say nothing further. Sir Thomas Henry then committed the prisoner to take his trial in Australia, and in answer to the prisoner said that there would be as little delay as possible. PHASES OF THE WAR. Fuller details regarding the fighting convince us that the armies of France were badly managed on that fatal 6th of August—a day henceforth not to be forgotten in the annals of either France or Prussia. Prussia, and indeed, the whole -1 Germany, will ever be proud of it. To Frenchmen it will be a dark day forever. On that day, if French soldiers were badly handled, th soldiers and officers of the Prussian army covered themselves with glory. The more that is known of that light the more Napoleon is blamed. If the Emperor does not in some way or other contrive to turn defeat into victory, his impeachment is by many competent judges considered certain. It is not by any means certain that France will nut recover from this blow and move in such force on the enemy as to turn the tide of battle towards Berlin. Another Jena is not an impos sibility. It will take a mighty effort on the part of Germany to push on to Paris in spite of a million bayonets. King William ought to repeat his procla mation that he wars not against French citizens. But he ought to improve it by saying that he fights not against Frenchmen, but against the man who has plunged two great, prosperous, and peace-loving nations into war. Another great battle may be going on while we write. It isnot possible that there can be much longer delay. We have always said that a battle must be fought before Mon day first, somewhere between Metz and Strasbourg, and probably within the next 21 hours the two armies will meet, and the conflict, be it long or short, may be decisive. If France is again defeated it is our confident belief that the war will cease. Napoleon will abdicate. The great Powers will exert themselves to effect a peace on a reason able but satisfactory basis, and France will be left to decide between a monarciy, with an Orleans prince on the throne, and a republic. If, on the other hand, France should drive the armies of King William back within their own borders, it is not our belief that the struggle will be soon ended. Prussia will not yield; (termany will not yield until she is felled to the earth and made helpless. It will be next to im possible for France to invade Prussia. What with the South German States faithful on the one hand and Belgium and Luxembourg neutral on the other, it will be easy for Prussia to guard that narrow portion of her terri tory which touches upon France. The neutrality of Belgium makes the position of prussia compara tively secure ; and it is certain to have a powerful influence in determining the issue of the war. In securing pledges from both France and Prussia that they will respect the neutrality of Belgium, the British Government have accomplished a great and an honourable work. The little kingdom is safe, and there is less reason to fear that the war may become European. It is a bad sign that the Bank of France hag . so soon suspended specie payments. Those who sympathise with the French in this struggle are depressed by this intelligence. Financially there can be no doubt that Prussia is. better prepared for war than France. It is gratifying to know that Great Britain has determinedly set her face against any league which might involve the nations in war. Von Beust's attempt to induce the Great Powers to form a league for the pur pose of guaranteeing to the belligerents that neither shall Rhine lose territory is simply absurd. If France c an dr i ve p P r r o u v s i s n ia ces b , e a y nd sheondthwe Rhine l a i'r r a ig n h c t e Prussia is now on the wrong side of th e Rhine, and on the wrong side of the border, too,—New lforkHerald. t w o ill keep kepthe them. We are informed that all proceedings in the Norwich election petition are sta y ed until th tenth day of Michaelmas Term. MACMAHON'S MOVEMENTS. The Pall Mall Gazette sap that MacMahon's plan of going to the relief of Bazaine seems so wild that it can only be explained as having arisen from political necessities. It looks more like a coup de desespoir than anything else. It looks as if anything must be done, anything risked, before Paris be allowed fully to understand the actual situation. It is the plan not of a strategist, but of an " Alg4rien," used to fight irregulars ; the plan not of a soldier, but of a political and military adven turer, such as have had it all their own way in France these last nineteen years. The language ascribed to Mac Mahon in justifying this resolve is quite in keeping with this. "What would they say," if he did not march to the aid of Bazaine? Yes, but " what would they say" if he got him self into a worse position than Bazaine has got himself into? It is the Second Empire all over. To keep up appearances, to hide defeat, is the thing most required. Napoleon staked all upon one card and lost it ; and now MacMahon is again going to play va banque, when the odds are ten t 4. one against him. The sooner France is freed from thuo men the better for her. It is her only hope, Now ready, at all the• Libraries, in 3 vols. SI R R I C II Ait D.
