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 I#C , ll TOURISTS IN NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL, AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS. BY EDWARD SPENDER PRICE 3s. "It is a straightforwardly and sometimes gracefully written Sketch of Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, from the holiday traveller's point of view, not, however, exclusively devoted to matters of scenery or itinerary, but designed to give the voyager an intelligent interest in the manners, customs, industries, and institutions of the districts he is expl ring. Fm intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spendei 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 intendir , 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 remembraacer." 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 compressed facts and statements prove the practical and ha.rdworking man of letters."—Man chester Courier. " From back `to 'lack ' Fjord, Isle, and for' 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 thin 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.

"We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and publication of this magnificent work."—Field. " 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 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. Ncwm.n's descriptions, whilst thoronghly 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 Saturday Review thinks the political future of France seems to depend entirely on military events. If France is really beaten and obliged to succumb, the Em peror will probably never try or never live to go back to Paris. But if the army retrieves its disasters and the Prussians are obliged to fall back, there appears to be no indication that the Empire will fall. The fidelity of the army to the Emperor seems to remain unshaken, and the army, if victorious, will decide who is to govern the coun try. Parisians talk confidently and loudly about France settling, when the war is over, its account with those who have brought it into its present troubles. But it is not to such men as compose the Opposition in the Chamber, or to the incapable fanatics of a Socialist Republic, that France, in its weakness and prostration after such a war as is now going on, is likely to look for guidance. Vanquished France might probably acccept for a time the rule of any of the enemies of the Emperor that were daring enough to seize on the -reins of power ; but victorious France is, if present appearances may be trusted, more likely to welcome the Emperor home again than to attempt to provide any substitute for his autho rity.

" The Wellington," Wellington-street, strand OUR HOME FORCES. The Spectator suggests a means of immediately in creasing the strength of our regular army. What, it stequipoplialumm t fratoarde! ..g that Militia regii went already farly . . ed and exercised, and Volunteer companies So-and-So, already good riflemen, shall be, while the enemy is on British soil, amalgamated with her Majesty's First Regiment of the Line ? Would that law be resisted by the bayonet ? Because if not, her Majesty's First Regiment, supposed to be one thousand strong, would really be three thousand strong, amply officered, with a regular system of supply, regular com missariat, regular means of transport, and filled with men at least as good as any of those with whom the Govern inent of the island has for eight hundred years succeeded, sooner or later, in defeating any enemy opposed to it. Our contention is,, that pending any plan for the general reform or thorough reorganisation of our army system — which fails mainly because it is designed to secure two in compatible objects at once, firstly, to protect England, and secondly, to keep the rich at the top -of the army—it is perfectly possible and easy, if our people have only ordinary patriotism and self-denial, so to arrange that we shall, without enormous expenditure, without a mili tary revolution, and without any strain upon our indus trial resources, have at disposal 300,000 very fine troops, very highly efficient, and very amply supplied. We are not saying that is .enough, agreeing as we do with Lord Elcho that half a million would be a better number to assume as the necessary force. We are not saying that the scheme we suggest is anything but a make-shift, believing, as we do that to compel every man iu these islands to give one year of his life to the educa tion of the army, to a thorough training in arms, gymnastics, and obedience, would in its ultimate results be worth a civil war. Our simple contention is, that im perfect as our our organisation may be, antiquated as our system of selecting officers is, we can, even now, this year, if the War Minister will but do his duty, set on foot a force double in number Ihe largest force with which on these shores we can by possibility have to contend ; that if Mr. Cardwell, or his successor, will but see that the regiments yoted by Parliament are realities and thoroughly ready—a matter of strict duty and common honesty ; and make the artillery voted by Parliament efficient—a matter of a few score thousand pouuds ; and be sure of his militiamen—a matter of trouble and inspec tlon ; and give the volunteers breech-loaders—a question of energy and expense, he has already, now, here before him the material of a magnifignt home army. GERMANY, FRANCE, AND ENGLAND. Time was, says the John Bull, when England was united as one man against the common foe of England and of Europe, and of European liberty. Is it so now ? With the fearful divisions among us—political dissent against the Church, labour against capital, em ployer against employer, Republicans against Constitu tionalists--it is not easy to discover any common object or principle around which Englishmen could be rallied. None can say whether the assailants or de structive party in each case would not hail a foreign invader a s a friend rather than foe—at all events, regard such an event with indifference. God grant that it may be otherwise, and that when the his tory of the nineteenth century shall be written England will not have been put to the blush by the example of Gtermany and Prance ! Meanwhile, let us pray that the thought of such a contingency may even now soften pre- Bent asperities, and lead men to ask themselves whether they would act and speak as they now do were a foreign enemy on our shores' , It is indeed an awful thetagi* , o4ll nothing but a DiVine judgment litze this will ftAl'ar Englishmen to a sense of blessings God has poured upon them, and the ungrateful return they have met with. THE GERMAN ARMIES. The Economist, ign camra, says theremarki he ngo ade of h n the extraordinary Prussian raordinar y rapidity of the columns only crossed the frontier on the 4th ; the first defeats were inflicted by their vanguard two days after ; eight days after that the engagements at Metz to intercept the retreat of the French army and shut it up in the fortress began, occupying five days ; and ten days after the investment of Metz the siege of Paris may have begun. Less than four weeks' time has actually been taken to destroy in part the field army of France, shut up the remainder in a fortification, and con. duct a mighty army a march of 200 miles to the French capital. This bare statement of facts shews the peril of France—the abyss, to use M. Gambetta's phrase, towards which it is rolling—but the more narrowly we examine the situation, the means and reserves of the combatants, and the projects attributed to the French chiefs, the more is our impression confirmed. Apparently, there is no limit to the strength which Germany is exerting. Where so little is known, it is impossible to say what numbers the King has with the standards ; but assuming that no more has been done than to send forward two new corps, and keep the others up to the full war footing according to the Prussian plan of filling up vacanci e s, w e can only come to the couclipion that an enormous host is pressing forward to Paris. Grant that four corps, as is said, are left to keep Bazaine in Metz—that is to say, about 140,000 men, which is certainly a force largely in excess of the one enclosed, and occupies an entrenched position— the Crown Prince will still have eight corps with him, exclusive of the Bavarian corps, or between 250,000 and 300,000 men. We are inclined to think that this may be under the mark, and that if the force is less it is because less is needed. The one thing which people should remember is that the effective German armies, not including the Landwehr at all, are upwards of 90,000 men ; and with such armies all set free for the field, it can be no exaggeration to reckon that, notwithstanding all the losses they may have sus tained, between 500,000 and 600,000 men are now west of the Moselle. LITERATURE, SCIENCE, AND ART. The Athenceum says : —Mr. Wilkie Collins's "Man and Wife" has been reprinted at Toronto. It is the first book that has appeared in Canada under the provisions of the new Copyright Act. Dr. Strauss has written a letter to M. E. Renan on the characteristics and present position of the French and German nations. It appears in the Allgemeine Zeitung. M. Renan had congratulated Dr. Strauss on his " Voltaire," and Dr. Strauss says he wrote his sketch of Voltaire's life in the hope of uniting the two nations more closely in the bonds of friendship : he regrets that his attempt has proved so unsuccessful.— Professor Lowell continues to be a frequent contributor to American periodicals. He had, in July, an article on Chaucer in the North American _Review ; and this month he contributes "A Virginian in New England Thirty-five years Ago" to the Atlantic Monthly, and a sonnet to Put nam's Magazine. There is a paper in the last-named ma gazine by . Professor Goldwin Smith, on " The Constitu tional Crisis in England."—The death is announced of the publisher of the first Book of Mormon.—The Maine His torical Society has removed its headquarters from Bruns wick to Portland.—The graduates of Yale College are agi tating for a share in the Government of their university. When we consider that the votes of non-residents are not usually looked upon with favour at Oxford and Cambridge, the proposal would seem to be one of doubtful wisdom.- -Lord- Lytton is engaged on a new novel.—The next volume of the "Ancient Classics for English Readers" will be " Horace," by Mr. Theodore Martin.—M. de Lesseps has received an addition to his numerous honours in the large medal of the Society for the Encouragement of Arts and Sciences. The Lavoisier medal of the same Society has been awarded to M. Henri St. Claire Deville, for his numerous researches in theoretical and technological chemistry.—A new drama, by Mr. Boucicault, eniat'ed " The Rapparee," in which Mr. Hermann Vezin, Mr. Clayton, Mr. Rignold, Mrs. Stephens, and Miss Katherine Rodgers will play the principal parts, will serve for the re-opening of the Princess's Theatre on the sth of September.—The Globe will shortly open with a performance of " Katherine and Petruchio," and of "Marco Spada," a drama by Mr. Palgrave Simpson. —From America we learn that Selwyn's Theatre, Boston, re-christened the Globe, will shortly re-open under the management of Mr. Fechter. An official notice has been issued to the effect that a considerable number of able seamen, engineers, &c., are required for the fleet. The Weekly Register says that the Postmaster- General of Berlin, Stephan, has just left for Alsace and Lorraine, to re-organise the postal service according to the Prussian system. Yet the present is not a war of an nexation on the part of Germany, so, at least raid the King of Prussia in the beginning. " Put not your trust in princes" is as applicable as ever. SUPPOSED MARINE BATTLE OFF ILFRACOMBE.— Much amusement has been created at Ilfracombe by a paragraph in the London papers stating that " heavy canonading " had been heard off Ilfracombe, and "it was supposed to proceed " from an action between French and German craft. Residents in Ilfracombe were well accus tomed to the "heavy canonading." it being caused by the volunteer artillery, who are in the habit of practising at Mumbles, on the opposite Welsh. coast.

From the Taquaril Gold Mining Company (limited) the following report, under date the 28th July, 1870, has this day been received from Mr. T. S. Treloar : General operations since my last respects, enlargement of level to old mine, to facili tate exit of crushed and other matter, has been in hand, little or no debris, consequently has been removed from the old workings. From the shoot in under the lode, found standing high and dry in stopes west of old shaft 2i tons of stuff have been broken and treated at the sampling-room in the same manner as that advised in my last, and a pro duce of 750 z. 14dwts. troy of gold derived. With this exception all our discoveries remitin untouched, owing to at present at our command for pulverising the ore A new engine-shaft is progressing apace, and will we expect in the course of another month or six weeks to strike the lodes. Water is becoming more plentiful. In the deep adit good duty is being done. Martha crosscut and crosscut to lode from deep adit have been placed under suspension, and the hands transferred to the stamps wheel pit, where, I regret to state, the ground is very oublesome. The timber work for stamping mill,washhous and tramroads is in a forward state, but the excavations are not progressing with the despatch I could wish. At the stamp wheel pit we have met in the bottom with the same extensive bed of Manganese, and clay encountered at the pumping wheel pit, and, being moist, great difficulty is experienced in handling it. Most of the hands employed about Casa Grande have also been removed to the wheel pit in question. The remaining surface works are advancing steadily. The report of the Alum and Ammonia Company (limited), presented at the meeting to-day, shewed au available total of £11,541, and a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum was declared, absorbing £4,173, and leaving £7,368 to be carried forward. At the meeting yesterday of the Crown Preserved Coal Company (limited) at Liverpool, a dividend of 4s. per share was declared for the half-year ended the 30th of June, absorbing £1,134, and leaving £.538 to be carried forward. The Demerara Railway has suffered a decrease in its traffic of 87 dollars for the fortnight ending July 23rd, as compared with the corresponding period of 1869.

The sales are 7,000 bales, including 1,000 bales for speculation and export. LEEDS TRADE REPORT, SATURDAY.—The woollen trade has been more active than at any time since the war broke out. There has been a larger attendance in the cloth halls, and among the buyers there were none for important London and pro vincial houses. The improved feeling which has sprung up has been felt in the warehouses for a few days past, and is likely to increase foi some time. At present orders are only of a sorting-up character. Meltons and Tweeds are more in de mand ; and hair lists sell more largely than any other manufactured articles, at various prices, ranging from 3s. 6d. to 7s. 6d. Victorias have suddenly and altogether gone out, but so far an average business has been done in them. Waterproof tweeds for ladies' costumes are selling, and in the warehouse there is a larger business doing in that branch than at any time this season. Parcels for cutters are also rather frequently changing hands. Some tweed shawls have been sold for the first time since the fall trade began. For Canada more unions have been sold, but that is the only foreign market at present open to our clothiers. CLYDE CRUSHED SUGAR MARKET, SATURDAY.—This market closed steady to-day.

Mild cured, firsts, 1365. ; seconds, 128 s. ; thirds, 117 s. Seventy firkins in the market. THE CHANGES IN FRANCE. We may well afford, while sympathising with the Germans in this contest, to observe with careful eyes the events which are now taking place in the world - events which have never been exceeded in importance sinco the French Revolution, and which are destined, as we have always believed, to change the whole current of modern European history. To suffer ourselves to be misled by the ignorant cries of wild fanatics would be unworthy of us as men who are living in times destined to stand out in history with terrible significance. We may be against France in this struggle, but it is not necessary to insult France by asserting, as one of our contemporaries has done, that all the French troops are drunk when they march to the war, and that the people are bitterly opposed to it. Let us, at least, as public historians, tell the truth frankly, no matter where our sympathies may be. If we believe that Germany is in the right, that is no reason why we should garble the news that finds its way into our columns. As for Napoleon, what does his life signify in this gigantic struggle, one way or the other? He is but an accident of the hour. Strike him out of the scene altogether, and this war would be waged with tenfold intensity on the part of France—for then the great present cause of political differences would be removed, and every man in France would rise to beat back the tide of invasion. But while the Emperor remains there are are divisions where all should be unity. If Napoleon were to abdicate at this moment, and leave the war to be conducted by other hands, he would assist France infinitely more than he can do by pretending to lead her armies. His health is bad His spirits are broken. By abdicating he would stand in a better position before the world than he can hope to do now, even although an accident might give him a great victory. For he is charged with being the sole cause of the war, and the London Times, for instance, asserts that if he were out of the way the war would cease. The predictions and statements of the , London Times throughout our own war were so remark ably accurate, and so manifestly dictated by a love of truth and fair play, that we cannot fail to attach the greatest importance to its suggestions now. Its opinion is , scarcely less decisive than the " opinion of Antwerp,' concerning which, by the by, the cable has not kept us properly informed lately. In any case, Napoleon, by withdrawing from the scene, would put the question to the test whether or not the wa r hinges solely upon him. This is, perhaps, the m os t favourable termination to his rule which he can reasonably look for. If he did n ot make t his crisis, it is all the more reason why he should net attempt to control it. He is a cause of weakness instead of strength to the country. France may be beaten under an Emperor, but it has always been found impos sible to reduce her under a Republic. Politically, indeed, Republics do not flo ur i s h on F renc h so il. Th e y end in bloodshed and anarchy. But they at least have always known how to defend the country. The people know what they are fighting for when a Republic bids them to advance against an invader. In 1792 French men.could turn aside from their own Revolution to sweep back the Austrian invaders. Prussia would find her an tagonist fifty-fold more formidable if a Republic were declared to-morrow. She might still conquer, but her task would be more difficult. As for the restoration of the Orleans family it is a hopeless chimera. There will be no King in France until a Republic has had yet another trial.—New York Times. etion. not a, and verity lmost h has who F war The this, ex ac- rid of y are 3e for y the into other tions ze 'ell equi et us Zaire etor, at be lOrri - Le races ion•" nade off a ' the the hing own csly ion '' ffect pon- pro- cted asy,
