"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, hut designed to give the voyager an intelligent interest in the manners, customs, industries, and institutions of the districts he is expl wing. 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, andeasy manageableness of bulk."— Daily Telegraph. "The volume perfectly fulfils its purpose. It is neat and cheap and contains in a small space a great quantity of very interesting matter, much of which will be novel, and all of which will be useful, not only to those who visit the places described, but to those who stay at home. Mr. Spender is an acute observer, a most industrious and judicious collector of facts, and an eloquent and graphic writer, and does ample justice to his subjects."— Yorkshire Post. "It deserves a welcome, this book we have so long uncon sciously been in search of. The itineraries themselves are to the intending excursionists a veritable benefaction. . . Altogether the book is one to carry in one's knapsack or valise during the happy time of our holiday excursion, and to give a place to on our book-shelves afterwards as a most pleasant remembrancer." —Sun " Fjord, isle, and Tor' Is a very delightful little book. The essay on Norway is palticularly 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.

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. . . .

IMPERIAL PARLIAMEi`•4 T. --~- HOUSE OF LORDS.--WEDNESDAY. Their lordships assembled at half-past twelve, at which how there were but few peers to attendance. THE TREATY WITH BELGUINI. lArd oAnws then rose to inquire of the &metal- of State for Foreign Affairs whether any (nether progress had been made in concluding the treaty with France and Prussia as to the neutrality of Belguim, and, also, whether her Majesty's Government could state the text of the treaty. He said he was very anxious to put the question to the noble earl, but until the present occasion he had been prevented. He had heard with great interest the state ment made by the noble earl on Monday night, and he might say that he was sure the greater part of it gave both sides of the House the greatest satisfaction. It was most satisfactory that it should be already known that this country was fully determined to adhere to the stipulations of the Treaty of 1839, and that we were determined to treat any infringement of that treaty as a just and proper cause of war. Unfortunately, two of the great Powers to the Treaty were now engaged in war ; and as it was probable that one or other of them might forget the obligation it was but well that the utmost precautions should be taken to prevent the neutrality of Belgium being inter fered with. He thought, however, that there were the elements of danger in the terms of the treaty just made, because as it at present stood in the event of a violation of Belgium, we were to engage ourselves to co operate with the other belligerent, and the other belligerent was to co-operate with us. If, under the new treaty, France were to violate the territory of Belgium, we should have to side with Prussia, and if Prussia were the aggressor we should have to side with France. It was true there was a saving clause to the effect that we should go no farther than was necessary for the maintenance of the independence of Belgium, but he thought that if we once ventured into war for such a purpose we should find ourselves unable to keep within the treaty proposed, and the cir cumstances attending a state of war would involve us in a general conflict. The engagement appeared to him to be unnecessary, because in any violation of the neutralitg of Belgium by one of the belligerents we should be sure of the support of the other belligerent without any such treaty, while in the case of its violation by both the treaty would be altogether useless. Again, its effect upon the other parties to the Treaty of [839 might be highly mischievous, because both Austria and Prussia might very justly turn round and say, we should have been glad to have co-operated with you in maintaining the obliga tions into which we entered under the Treaty of 1839, but if you are going to unite yourselve with Prussia we de cline to have anything to do with you. He fervently hoped that the necessity for this country to enter the field of war would not arise, and whilst he fully approved of the object the Government had in view, and the spirit with which they had acted, yet he thought that the course adopted was attended with some danger, although he fully approved of the determination of her Majesty's Govern wont to maintain the neutrality of Belgium. EARL GRANVILLE said he had heard the observations of the noble and learned lord with great relief. The noble and learned lord had urged that the Government should have procured without menace what they desired, and they would then have been in a better position as re garded the other parties to the treaty. The fact was that the Government had already, in consequence of the course it had taken, received the most friendly assurances from Russia and Austria, and he contended that although all parties were bound by the Treaty of 1839, the position of the English Government hall been naturally strengthened by the action they had taken, He felt certain that the principal object of the proposed treaty would be carried out, and he could not for an instant believe that such an eventuality as that • mentioned by the noble and learned lord would ever arise. He should not think it was I ikely that two such powerful persons would for get the solemn obligation they had entered into, or did he for think it was right to doubt the personal honour of the Emperor of the French or of the King of Prussia, or that it was at alt likely exit two such rulers would so far forget their engagements, and enter into la contest m facts of and against the pnblic opinion of the world. (Loud cheers.) He trusted that the treaty would not have to be acted on at all. Indeed, he firmly believed it would not, and he felt assured that in the course they had adopted they had taken the best means of preventing the object for which it had been negotiated. With regard to the question of the noble and learned lord, he had to say that the treaty had already been signed by Count Bernstorff on the part of Prussia, and the French Ambassador had intimated he was ready to sign the treaty as soon as his full powers arrived. The noble earl then read the treaty at length, and resumed his seat amidst loud cheers. Lord STRATFORD DE RUDCLIFFE said whilst he felt bound to approve of the course taken by the Government, bethought it should not be forgotten that England should retain the power of mediating at any moment at which a legitimate opportunity presented itself. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY thought the Gevernment had acted throughout the negotiations in the most admirable manner, and in the course they had adopted they had taken the best means of securing the interests and sufety of the British empire. After a few observations from Lord Redesdale and the Duke of Cleveland, the discussion terminated, and their lordships adjourned during pleasure. THE PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT. Precisely at two o'clock the Lord Chancellor, the End of Kimberley, Lord Halifax, Lord Sydney, and the Mar- quis of Normanby entered the House in their scarlet and ermine robes as the Royal Commissioners, and took their seats in front of the throne, and the Usher of the Black Rod was directed to summon the Comm Ons at the bar of their lordships' House. In a few minutes the Speaker, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Cardwell, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Bruce, Mr. Otway, and a great number of members appeared at the bar, when the Royal assent was given to the following bills: —The Consoli dated Fund Appropriation, Stamp Duties, Stamp Duties Management, Inland Revenue Ac ts Repeal, Greenwich Hospital, Pension Commutation, Oaths of Allegiance or Naturalization, Expiring Laws, Joint Stock Companies Arrangement, Truck Commission, Census, Census (Scot land), Real Action Abolition (Ireland), Matrimonial and Marriage Causes (Ireland), Beerhouses, Glebe Loans Act, and Local Government Supplement of No. 2, and also to certain Local Tramway Bills. The LOUD CHANCELLOR then, in obedience to the Royal Commissioners, read THE BLOOD PURIFIER— Old Dr. JACOB TOWNSEND'S SARSAPARILLA. This extraordinary medicine has a singular influence over the blood, which it enriches and purifies.

THE SMOKE NUISANCE ACT.-CAUTION TO FOREMEN.- Henry Cooper, foreman in the employ of Mr. Huntsman, baker, of No. 378, Oxford-street, was summoned before Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough-street police court, by Sergeant Dunlop, of the C Division, for negligently using a furnace so that the smoke therefrom was not consumed. Mr. Sandison, C.E., appointed by Government to conduct the proceedings under the Smoke Nuisance Act, having produced the authority of the Secretary of State for the proceedings, Daniel Bettridge, 225 C, proved seeing thick black smoke issuing from Mr. Huntsman's premises on different days, and calling attention to it. Mr. Sandi son deposed that the apparatus on Mr. Huntsman's .pre mises was constructed to consume smoke if attended to properly. Mr. Huntsman said he understood his foreman requested the constable to go down and see the furnace, but he refused to do so. There were witnesses to bhow thak there was no smoke. Mr. Sandison said constables were strictly prohibited from going into bakers' places, so that they should not be tampered with, it having for merly heen done. The defendant, who appeared far from sober, and conducted himself in a very impertinent manner, said the constable conld not tell smoke rom steam, and that there was no smoke whatever. Three witnesses were called by the defendant, two of whom, however, contradicted each other materially. Mr. Knox fined the defendant 18s., and ordered him to pay 12s. 6d. costs. Robert Pike, fireman in the employ of Mrs. Sarah Liddle, baker, of Charlotte-street, was also fined ls. and 12s. 6d costs for a similar offence. --------- . BENEFIT SOCIETIES AND THE POOR.—A poor man made a complaint at the Thames Police Court before Mr. Lush ington against the St. Michael's Lodge of a Benefit Society of Druids. He joined the Druids and went through all the mysteries and ceremonies cii the 11th of October last, and was free to receive all the benefits on the 11th of April. He paid ss. fees, and had regularly ' contributed is. 3d. weekly ever since. On the 28th of ' March last the society came to a resolution to suspend all benefits. He was taken ill and afflicted with bronchitis on the 28th of March, and when he became a free member and entitled as a sick member to 14s. per week, it was declared that it became within the operations of the new law. He received no summons before he was free, buton the 4th of July he received a summons stating he was not entitled under the new law suspending benefits to poor members to anything. He wished to know if the Druids had-the power to make such an order. Mr. Lushingtcn believed they had. For how long a period, sir. Mr. Lushington : For three months longer. It is quite within their power to make the order. It applies to every member, and you must submit to it. You will not be entitled to anything for three months longer. The applicant said it was a hard case upon him and retired. ' ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF AN UNFORTUNATE.—Catherine White. an unfortunate girl, was brought up on remand before Mr. Lushington charged with attempting to drown herself at the Old Gravel-lane dock bridge over the London Dock afortnight ago. She has been in the Clerken well House of Detention ever since, and the chaplain forwarded a letter to the magistrate declaring she was penitent. Her mother said her daughter had not been long on the streets, and her course of life had preyed on her mind and led her to make the rash attempt upon her life. She promised to take care of her, and look after her_ future welfare, Mr. Lushington admonished the prisoner lon her rashness, and gave her up to the charge of her mother. HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, — The state of public business enables me to release you from your attendance in Parliament. I continue to receive from all foreign Powers assurances of goodwill and friendship ; but I have witnessed with grief and pain, on domestic as well as public grounds, the recent outbreak of war between two power ful nations, both of them allied with this country. My best exertions had been used to avert this great calamity. I shall now direct a constant and anxious attention to the strict observance of the duties and the maintenance of the rights of neutrality. • I have cheerfully assented, to the measure, matured by your wisdom, to enlarge the power of the Executive, not only for the discharge of international duties, but for the prevention of acts which, in time of war, might be in jurious to the interests of the country. I shall make every Wing endeavour to check the opera tion of causes which might lead towards enlarging the area of the present conflict, and to contribute if opportunity shall be afforded me, to the restoration of an early and honourable peace. I have tendered to the two belligerent Powers treaties identical in form to give additional security to Belgium against the . hazards of a war waged upon her frontiers. This Treaty has been signed by Count Bernstorif, on the part of the North German Confederation, and the French Ambassador has signified, that he has syutifority to sign the cbrrespindirtg 1114trum'ent as coin. a% MB full ,-powers alive, Other rowers, which were parties to the Treaty of 1839 have been invited to accede, should they think fit, to this engagement. The shocking murders recently perpetrated in Greece produced a painful impression throughout Europe, and have drawn attention to serious evils existing in that country. My unremitting efforts will be directed to securing the complete and searching character of the inquiry which ht s been instituted. GENTLEMEN 014 THE HOUSE OF CO3IMONS, I thank you for the liberal provision which was made by you for the ordinary service of the year, and for the addi rional supplies of men and money which you have voted in view of the altered state of things on the Continent of Europe. The condition of the revenue gives ground for the hope that it may be able to meet the new charge which has been created, without reversing the proper balance of income and expenditure. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, In regard to domestic legislation, I may fitly con gratulate you on the close of a session marked by an assiduous devotion to labours of the utmost national importance. The temporary Act for the Repression of Agrarian Crime, and the Maintenance of Order in Ireland has, up to the present time, answered the purposes for which it was passed. From the Aett for regulating the occupation and owner ship of land, I 'anticipate the gradual establishment both of harmonious relations between owners and occupiers of land, and of general confidence in the provisions and administration of the law, and in the just and benevolent intentions of the Legislature. In consequence of the efforts which have been made in matters of capital moment, to remove from the Statute Book whatever might seem inequitable to Ireland, I trust that the discharge of the first duty of Govesnment in providing for the security of life and property will be come more easy, and I shall rely with confidence upon the loyalty and affection of my Irish subjects. It has given me pleasure to concur with you in the passage of the important law providing for national education in England. I perceive in it a new guarantee for the moral and social well-being of the nation, and forits prosperity and power. The Naturalization Act, and the Act for the Extradi tion of Criminals, will tend to confirm our friendly rela tions with foreign Powers. The Act which regulates enlistment for a shortened term of service in the ranks of the Army will, I trust, tend to increase the efficiency of the force, to promote the welfare of the soldier, and to provide for the nation a reserve of men well trained to arms, and ready in any case of emergency to return to the standards. I bid you farewell for the recess, with the earnest prayer that, when you are again summoned to your duties, I may be enabled to rejoice with you in the re-establish ment of peace on the Continent of Europe. There were a few ladies present on the benches opposite those of the Government, but with the exception of Royal Commissioners, there were but eight or nine peers, who thought it their duty to attend the proceedings, which were quite of a formal nature, not the least ceremony being observed, Parliament having been formally prorogued until the 27th of October, the Lords Commissioners retired, and the proceedings terminated. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. The Speaker took the chair at twenty-five minutes to one o'clock. REPRESENTATION OF DUBLIN. A new writ, on the motion of Mr. Noel, was ordered to be issued for the election of a citizen to serve in the pre sent Parliament for the city of Dublin, in the room of Sir Arthur Edward Guinness, Bait, whose election has been determined to be void. THE NEUTRALITY OF BELGIUM. Mr. GLADSTONE said he understood that, during his absence in the discharge of other duties on the previous day, a desire was expressed by some gentlemen to make observations upon recent proceedings of her Majesty's Government with regard to negotiations abroad, and he, therefore, felt it was desirable that the House should be made acquainted with the facts up to the present time. The treaty propose,cliw het Majesty's Government to the belligerent Powers htacl been actually executed. It had been signed by Count Betnstorff on behalf of the North German Confederation, and by Lord Granville, on the part of her Majesty's Government. M. de Lavalette, the French Ambassador at the English Court, had announced to Lord Granville that he was authorised by the Govern- ment of the Emperor to adhere in his name to the treaty proposed by the British Cabinet for the effective guarantee of the neutrality of Belgium. M. de Lavalette added, "I shall sign the treaty as soon as I receive the full powers which I expect for that pur- pose." Mr. Gladstone for the convenience of the House read the articles of the treaty. Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE said the treaty was one of the most extraordinary documents he had ever read or heard of, and the manner in which it had been laid before the House at such a grave crisis he strongly condemned. He would sooner have had no treaty at all, because it involved England in dangers which were unseen. It actually superseded the treaty of 1839. He complained of secret diplomacy, and remarked that had the treaty been brought before the House in the form of a motion it would not have been carried, Amid great laughter the hon. gentleman moved that the House be now prorogued. Viscount ENFIELD thought there would be an universal feeling of gratitude to Government for having taken a course best calculated to preserve the peace of Europe. Sir H. BIILWER and Mr. WHITE supported the action of the Government. Cclonel BARTELOT thought the Government would have done better to have stood by the treaty of 1839. Mr. S. BEAUMONT inquired whether Belgium had been consulted, and had approved the treaty, whether Austria and Russia had given their consent to the supplementary treaty, and in what position England would be if such consent had been withheld. Mr. GLADSTONE denied that the Treaty under discus sion extinguished or destroyed the Treaty of 1839. The latter was expressly recognised by the instrument before them. In noticing some of the observations of the hon. member for Waterford, the right hon. gentleman strongly objected to the statement that if Belgium were occupied by a hostile power, England's safety was not worth 24 hour's purchase. Mr. B. OSBORNB, interrupting, said Napoleon had said so. Mr. GLADSTONE, continuing, said he was not prepared to take his measure of the position of this country and its strength even from the lips of Napoleon. (Cheers.) The hon. member for Waterford and others spoke as if England had a special, separate, and exclusive interest in maintaining the neutrality of Bel gium. The interest which England had was precisely the same interest as that of any other European Power. It was contrary to the interest of Europe that there should be unmeasured aggrandisement, and our interest was no more involved in the aggrandisement sup posed in that particular case than was the • interest of other Powers. The Premier then pointed out the moral effects of these exaggerated statements. The immediate moral effect was that every effort made on behalf of Belgium was regarded as a separate scheme of ours in which other countries were unconcerned. He next, in eloquent terms, spoke of the special claim which Belgium had to protection, ob serving that the annexation of Belgium would be the perpetration of a crime the darkest that would stain the page of history. The Govern ment had abstained on prudential considerations from seeking to make Belgium a party to the Treaty. With regard to Austria, he had no reason to alter what he said the other night, and as to Russia the question had arisen . whether it might not be wise to give wider scope to en gagements of that kind ; 'but there, was no objection to the principle of the treaty. Oil resuming his seat the right hon. gentleman was loudly cheered. Mr. Disraeli was present during the debate. At the summons of the Black Rod, the Speaker and the members left for the Upper House to hear the Speech from the Throne. At half-past two o'clock bke Speaker returned and read the Queen's Spukch. The House then adjourned. AUGUST 11, 1870. PR ICE 1 d STAMPED 9d SPORTING INTELLIGENCE EGHAM RACES.—WEDNESDAY. A Handicap Sweepstakes. Half a mile. Mr G. A.

At a meeting of Volunteer officers, held in Glasgow on Tuesday, Mr. Anderson, M.P., read a letter from th s Minister for War, giving further particulars of the new proposals with regard to the Volunteers. Mr. Cardwell stated that it would be less troublesome to earn thirty shillings a year as an efficient volunteer than heretofore ; and further, that a portion of the force will be given every year an opportunity of goin,,c , into camps of exercise, towards the expenses of which Government would give a moderate contribu tion, besides arranging for obtaining rations at contract prices. The meeting passed resolutions to the effect that they wished to do nothing which would embarrass the Government. ENGLAND'S PREPARATIONS. At the military depot in King-street, Westminster, on Tuesday, the non-commissioned officers were busily engaged in enlisting men for the Army Service Corps, the 60th Rifles, and various other regi ments, Before midday two hundred strong and active looking young young men had been enlisted and passed.by the military surgeons at the Horse Guards. The greater number were carpenters, tailors, saddlers, journeymen bakers, and shoemakers. Nearly all these men have come from Whitechapel and the east end. No man was enlisted for the Army Service Corps unless he had a trade, and was under sft. 7in. and above sft. 3in. in height. As the day advanced, and it became known among the unem ployed of the working classes that the Government intended to enlist 20,000 additional men for the army, mechanics and labourers came in greater numbers to the depot than in the earliet part of the day. In the evening the crowd outside the depot became so great that it was found necessary to procure the assistance of the police in order to regulate them. The officers remarked that the difficulty of procuring men was now ended. The If estern Morning News reaffirms positively the sub stantial truth of the allegations concerning deficient stores for the ironclads Northumberland and Agincourt, which Mr. Childers on Monday night denied. " The facts stated are notorious, and by . official documents capable of proof ; but under a system in which strict secrecy is con sidered the first duty of officials, and police spies are placed at our doors to detect the sources of our news, it is scarcely possible to adduce absolute proof of such matters, however true." NEW Flortouns.—Her Majesty has been pleased to direct that the English Minister in America, Edward Thornton, Esq., C. 8., shall be appointed an ordinary member of the civil division of the Second Clan, or Knights Commanders of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath. Her Majesty has also conferred the honour of knighthood upon Lord Justice Mellish, who has been sworn in a member of the Privy Council. A deputation waited upon the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland on Tuesday to solicit his Excellency's aid in in ducing Mr. Gladstone to allow the General Synod of the Irish Church to appoint to the vacant bishopric of Kil more. His Excellency received the deputation courteously and promised to bring the matter under the consideration of the Premier. A DOOMED SHIP.—A despatch from Dover, dated Tuesday evening, five o'clock, says :—"An unfortunate • I' merchant ship, evidently not informed of the breaking out • of the war, is standing towards the French fleet at the present moment with the North Geman Confederation flag flying. Capture is very easy, if those in command of - the fleet feel disposed to notice the vessel, and Calais and Dunkirk are near." [ADVERTISEMENT..
