Now published, FJORD, ISLE, AND TOIL A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IN NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL, AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS. BY EDWARD SPEND ER 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 expi Ting. 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, 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, 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 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 style, 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 calla es require it, three, four, live, and even six figures Are given The work is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at 6d. each.

"We congratulate British entomologists op the completion and publication of this magnificent work."—Field. Both to the beFinner and the proficient in that study this work will be invaluable. '—Daily Telegraph. 'lt is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each specit , s, and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advant4:es over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each mo' h, with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be an immense boon, and by its means they will bi 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 en' o 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 read e rs. W e regard it as a very useful addition to our library." Land and Waler. Oct. 9. London—W. TWEEDIE. 337. Strand. W.C. Just published, price 1s 6d., by post ls.

The Musical Standard says that in spite of hostilities a pacific congress of dramatic authors and com posers is still talked of as to be held next month in Nuremberg.—Offenbach's little son, a child of nine years, has met with a severe accident through a fall froni a horse. —M. Auber and the widow of Scribe, the librettist, assign to the French Patriotic Fund their rights as author and composer so long as the " Marseillaise " ac companies "La Muette de Portici." The Railway News understands that active steps are to be taken for the construction of an important link of railway communication from Whitby following the coast line, and to connect with the Northastern system near Saltburn. The line was projected some years since, but, like many other good and useful schemes, fell into abeyance. It is now to be revived, with every prospect of receiving a large amount of local support. In reference to the race for the St. Leger, Bell's Life remarks that although the• breakdown of King o' Scots at Brighton has removed him from the St. Leger field, that fact did not at all strengthen the position of Kingcraft, who does not "go " in the market quite so well ax his admirers could wish. Alaric has been re /•arded by some as a "likely " St. Leger outsider ; but the horse was lame not long ago, and is consequently not half fit at present. " Harkaway," in Land and Water on the con trary, says that Kingcraft is well and doing good w. and that if he comes sound to the post, and runs up to his true form, he will win the St. Leger with more than 71b. in hand. HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OlNTMENT.—Derangements of the Stomach and Bowels.—ln all cases of irre gularities of the liver and stomach Holloway's celebrated Pills are a specific. Dysentery, biliousness, acidity of the stomach, sick headache, debility, loss of appetite, drowsiness, and incapacity for exertion; will all pass away before a course of these pills, which purify the blood and give tone to the whole system. In external injuries, such as burns, scalds, and bruises, and all skin diseases, the Ointment is wonderfully efficacious. Both Pills and Ointment are composed of rare b.lsamshun mixed with a single grain of mercury, or any deleterious substance. They can be used with safety by both sexes, at all ages, in any climate. Captain Shaw's official report of fires, issued on on Saturday, states that at about ten o' c l oc k on Friday night the brigade was called to a fire which had broken out in the house of Miss E. Gent, dressmaker, of Milford place, Vassal-road, Camberwell-new-road. From the fact that in the house there were seven separate places burning, Captain - Shaw attributes this fire to incen diarism. Archbishop Manning has sent a circular, dated the 3d of August, to his clergy, asking them to join with him in an act of thanksgiving for the many mercies of th 4 last few months, and for the many memorable events by which they have been marked. He goes on to say, "Although the Council of the Vatican is•neither pro rogued nor suspended, it has nevertheless completed a.dis tinct period of its work." - • .; The Eugene steamer, which arrived at Grimsby; on Friday, reports that the forts at Antwerp are being mounted with additional guns. More troops are also being concentrated at Antwerp. War preparations are being hurried on at Hamburg. Guns and mortars are2l34ins shipped for Cuxhaven for masked batteries. The Mil Os perfectly clear. No war-ships were seen by th e s te amy Grimsby (which also arrived at Grimsby on Friday) except a Prussian monitor steaming to the fleet at Jande. The camp orders for the forthcoming prize meeting of the National Artillery Association were issued on Saturday morning by Colonel Chermside, R.A. They are much stricter than those which were in force at Wimble don. All the volunteers in camp, officers and men, will be liable for duty, the former m officers for the day or in charge of picket, and and the latter for picket and guard duty. Field officers will have a tent each, other officers will camp two in a tent, and the other tents will have five men each. Reveille will sound at six o'clock a.m. An acting provost-marshal will be appointed, and no suspicious persons will be allowed about the camp, Speaking of the rise in the Bank rate of discount, the Economist observes that it seems fair to hope that this rise may be sufficient. The exchanges are better, and the amount of money which we owe the Continent, and which the Continent can compel us to pay, is probably ex hausted, or nearly so. There is a great and increasing likelihood that the Bank of France may suspend specie payments ; but this will not be a banking measure. It will be a military expedient only, and be enjoined by the Emperor to keep the present large specie reserve of the Bank ready for his army. And as such the step, should it happen, will cause no confusion or apprehension here. HELP FOR THE SICK AND WO UND ED.—The following appeal, signed by several distinguished German ladies resident in England, has been published :—The privilege of taking u p arms f or th e d e f ence o f th e h ononr • and inependence of their country has been denied to women, Jout another and even more sacred duty is theirs. ,With hearts filled with sorrow and anguish they look forward to the coming fearful struggle, the issue of which is in the hands of • God alone, but which they know must be followed by bitter sufferings and intense grief. Tears will flow, widows and orphans will call for help, the wounded soldier for assistance. It is woman's noble mission to alleviate these sufferings. German countrywomen, who have found a. second home in these happy islands, to your patriotism we appeal. Let us prove to our absent relatives, friends, and countrymen that we, though far away from home, have exerted our selves to the utmost to relieve the misery and anguish that will surround them. With you• we appeal to the well-known generosity of the English public, we entreat them, in the name of humanity and Christian charity, to assist us in soothing th e su fferings of the wounded soldiers and the bereaved families. From the depth of our hearts .we shall supplicate that God's blessing may reward the cheerful giver. W e , the u n d ers i gne d, have formed a committee, with power to add to our number, to receive money and gifts of every description for the comfort of ; wounded soldiers. We shall forward them immedi:,..tety to the seat of war to soothe alike the sufferings of friend and foe.

The Lord Chancellor took his seat upon the wodlsack at 12 o'clock.— Several bills were advanced a stage, including the Militia Alts Amendment (No. 2) Bill, which was read a third time and passed. The Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill was brought up from the Commons, and read a third time. Their lordships adjourned at a quarter to one o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-SATURDAY. The Speaker took the chair at ten minutes past twelve. There was only just sufficient members present to form a house. —Mr. Candlish presented a memorial from a large meeting of his constituents, in which they regretted the deplorable war now being waged on the Continent, and approving of. Mr. Gladstone's policy. The reading of the substance of the memorial was rxeived with some degree of applause. Mr, Gourley had a very lengthy question on the notice paper addressed to the member for Derby (Mr. Plimsoll) rela tive to the loss of ships from overloading, but the hon. member not being in his place, Mr. Gourley was of course unable to interrogate him. The Consolidated Fund (Ap propriation) Bill, the Sanitary Act (Dublin) Amend ment Bill, British Columbia Bill, Ecclesiastical Titles Act Repeal Bill, were agresd to with out discussion. The report on the Judicial Com mittee (Salaries, &c.) was agreed to. After the con sideration of the Lords' Amendments, the Tramways Bill was read a third time. The report of the East India Revenue accounts was agreed to without discussion. —Mr. Gourley said his attention had been called to the refusal of the East India Council to make a grant in order to survey the coast of Madras, with the view of ascertain ing what was the probable harbourage for the immense shipping. The Secretary for India answered that he had no knowledge whatever of the circumstance. — The Militia Bill was brought down from the Lords end was read a first time, and the second reading was fixed for Monday, when the House meets at three o'clock. LAW AND POLICE. ALLEGED EXTENSIVE FRAUD.—Edward Jones, 30, de scribed as a publican, and Francis Thompson, 24, described as a jeweller, were brought up on remand, at the Mansion House, before the Lord Mayor, on the charge of obtaining goods, of the value of £3,000, by false pretences. The principal circumstances of the case have been already reported, and it will be remembered that the prisoners had pretended to carry on business in various towns, under assumed names. Corroborative evidence was now given, and, among the witnesses called, was a young lady from Plymouth, to whom the prisoner Thompson had been paying some attention. She stated that she knew him for a fortnight, and that during th a t ti me h e ma d e h er a presen t o f a go ld watch and chain and a pair of earrings.. Other evidence baying been taken, the prisoners were fully committed to take their trial at the Central Criminal Court. • CAUTION TO MANGLING WOXIIN. —Celia Clark, a gir agad 14 years, was brought up on remand before Mr. Lushington at the Thames Police Court charged with ob taining a large bundle of linen from a woman who keeps a mangle in Bow. The property belonged to a clerk named Hill. The prisoner and another girl went to the mangling woman, and said we have come for Hill's mang ling. -The linen, which had gone through the mangle and nicely pressed and smoothed, was delivered to the prisoner without hesitation, and consisted of 3 sheets, 10 handker chiefs, and two dozen other pieces of linen. The prisoner paid 6d. to the mangling woman. Mrs. Hill, of No. 62, Lichfield-road, Stepney, said the prisoner and another girl were reconnoitering before her dwelling for some time a few days ago, and were then no doubt concocting a plot to obtain the linen. A police constable said that part of Mrs. Hill's linen had been pawned at Fryatt's, in the Whitechapel-road. Mr. Lnshington said he should again remand the prisoner to give the police an opportunity of arresting the accomplice of the prisoner, and for the at tendance of the pawnbroker who had received the stolen property in pawn. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT HASTINGS. There has been a fatal and horrible accident at the drainage works, at the East Well, Hastings, by which three men lost their lives. It appears that about ten minutes to ten on Friday evening shouts for help were heard proceeding from the tank. Mr. Porter, the chemist, and a man named Harris (Curley), employed on the works, immediately volunteered to descend to the help of the unfortunate men below two men named Nash and Paul Fry (alias Bristol). On the descent Harris saw Porter fall back, and he himself, feeling exhausted, came up at once to the fresh air. Several persons began to assemble round the dreadful scene, and Mr. Wigner, the, manager - of the works, and a co as t guar d, an d a fisher man, and Harris having somewhat recovered, accom panied them. They went down twice, and on each occasion had to come up exhausted. Several of the bye standers then volunteered help, and after some search, they found the bodies of Fry (Bristol) and Nash, which they brought up. Mr. Ashenden and Mr. Savery tried all means of resuscitation, but the medical gen tl emen pronounced life to be extinict, and the bodies were removed to the Pier Warden's stores. Active search was made for Mr. Porter, but in vain, and it iirb6lieved that the body has been washed out to sea. Further statements are to the effect that the works had not 'been in •operation the previous day, and that the tank was full of foul air, and that two of the unfortunate men, Nash and Fry, were warned not to attempt the descent. • AUG UST 8, 1870. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE, The United Service Gazette says—Several of the Metro politan Volunteer Corps have received orders to return their Enfield rifles into store, the War Office being about to replace them with breech-loaders of the Snider pattern. We are given to understand, upon excellent authority, that the three hundred thousand breech-loaders stated by Mr. Cardwell to be in store are not in store in the ordi narily accepted sense of the word. It scarcely has occurr e d to Mr. Cardwell, though it is not less a fact, that large deductions will have to be made from that nu mb er for arms which are in Canada and other colonies. The actual number in the United Kingdom available for instant issue is, we believe, very much short of 300,000. Captain Cow per Coles has, with the permission of the Admiralty, again proeeeded to sea in her Majesty's turret-ship Cap tain. As Portland has besome a place of great naval im portance, the Admiralty intend to purchase a plot of laud there, with the view of establishing a naval store yard for the supply of her Majesty's ships. Colonel Sir Henry Havelock, V.C., C. 8., Assistant Adjutant-General Dublin Division, has been removed to the Irish headquarter staff, Dublin Castle, in the same capacity, it having been decided to amalgamate the two branches of the Adjutant-General's Depart ment in Dublin. The Army and Navy Gazette says that Second Captain and Brevet-Major H. Le G. Geary. 14th Brigade Royal Artillery, has been selected to fill the newly-made appointment of Brigade-Major of the Royal Artillery in Ireland.—Brigadier-General E. Selby Smyth, we learn from Mauritius, assumed command of the forces in the colony, in succession to Major-General E.C.W.M. Milman, deceased, on the 13th o f May.—The Curragh season will close at the very latest by the 15th of September, but most probably by the end of the present month. Captain C. J. Hubbard, Grenadier Guards, has been appointed an extra aide-de-camp to Lord Napier, K.T., Governor of Madras, vice Ensign the Hon J. S. Napier, 92nd Highlanders. The two vacant surgencies of recruiting districts, those of Inverness and Dublin, have been be stowed upon Surgeon-Major J. Crerar, half-pay, late of the 106th Light Infantry (Inverness), and Staff-Surgeon D. J. Doherty, late 18th Royal Irish, Dublin.-- The Channel Squadron, under the command of Vice-Admiral Sir Hastings Yelverton, K.C.8., is now, with the exception of the Monarch, fairly at sea once more. The Plymouth contingent started for the rendezvous on Thursday evening. The Broad Arrow says the new mode of recruiting is without bounty, the better pay of the soldier is now in itself an inducement to join the army. Lieutenant- General the Right Honourable Sir William Mansfield, G.C.8., G.C.S.I. ' held a levee at the Royal Hospital, on Monday, of the Staff in Dublin, and Heads of Depart ments, consequent upon his assuming com mand of the forces in Ireland.— We understand that large orders have been sent out to Calcutta, for supplies of saltpetre. The consignments are to agents in this country, and at the Mincing-lane Sale Rooms it was said that the orders were on behalf of the British Government, who stand in need of cartridges. Con sidering, however, that the above information emanates from public , sale rooms, we should be inclined to view the demand for saltpetre thus early, as the result of specula tions by individual City firms, and not as direct orders from the War Office. It will be remembered, however, that at the time of the Crimean war, Govern ment orders for saltpetre were sent out to Calcutta, and the shipments were made to Waltham Abbey.—The Ist Battalion 19th Foot will be brought home from India this year.— The Royal Engineers at Chatham are very busy completing the earthworks which are to be em ployed in the extensive siege operations on Monday (to-day). The whole of the troops in garrison will take part in the mimic battle, and four or five Volunteer corps from London are also expected to be engaged in it. The death is announced of Miss Annie Parker, for many years one of the chief actresses at the Theatre Royal, Dublin. Nature hears that the French army encamped in the environs of Metz have been surveyed from a Prussian balloon with the greatest ease. It is rumoured that a baronetcy will be conferred upon Mr. Alderman Besley, the present Lord Mayor, at the termination of his year of office. At the end of the Army List Ibr the current month the following announcement is made :—" The Secretary of State for War acknowledges the receipt of six pounds (£6) as an anonymous remittance." According to the Church Times a fresh prosecution has been commenced against the Rev. Mr. Mackonochie by the Church Association, the crime laid to his charge being an act of reverence. The second battalion Scots Fusilier Guards, under Colonels Fletcher and Moncrieff, had a field-day on the north bank of the Thames, near Eton, on Saturday morning. The Edinburgh Courant says it is in contempla tion to present Sir George and Lady Campbell with a testimonial in connection with the candidature of the hon. baronet at the last Glasgow election. The appointment to the Recordership of Brsitol is not yet announced, but it is generally believed that the Attorney-General will take it to himself, as his predeces sors have done.—Law Times. The John Bull says that a layman in the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol, has offered to the Bishop the sum of £l,OOO towards a fund for meeting at once any educational needs that may exist in the diocese. Mr. Spurgeon, when laying foundation stones, disdains the use of the silver trowel as unworthy of a true workman, and with an ordinary implement does a quarter of an hour's hard work, and actually and posi tively lays the stone.—Squth, London Press. The Irish Laud Bill is law, and we congratulate our legal brethren in Ireland upon the mighty boon that has been bestowed upon them. How long will it be before the English lawyers aro favoured with the like prize. Law Times. • with CRYSTAL PALACE.—In connection the • vv ar Court a very large and interesting pictorial map of the seat of war, on a scale of two inches to the mile, has been hung in the centre transept. A very guod idea of the re lative positions of the head-quarters of the different armies may thus be obtained. THE CHINA TEA RACE.-1 he race from China with the new spring teas between the EH King and Diomed steamers, both of which left Hango on the 4th June, and came via the Suez Canal, has been decided in favour of the EH King. . She arrived in the river on Thursday. The Diomed arrived in the Downs on Friday morning. The Middleton Volunteers (says the Manchester courier) have proved their patriotism by nearly all of them signing a memorial for presentation in the proper quarter, .offering their services if required for the protec tion of our shores during the war. - We are informed that Mr. Brassey, father of Mr. Thomas Brassey, M.P., and principal of the firm of Brassey, Fell, and Co., the great railway contractors and engineers, dangerously ill, and is not likely to survive. - ' Saturday was the anniversary of the birth of H.R.H. Alfred Ernest Albert, Duke of Edinburgh, the second son of Her Majesty the Queen. His Royal Highness, who was born at Windsor, on the, 6th of August, 1844, is therefore 26 years of age. The erection, of the New Law Courts will soon to commenced. The Royal Commission has signed the report approving of the plans for the building. The ground will be cleared immediately ; and probably in about three weeks preparations will be made for laying the foundation. A. meeting of commanding officers of volunteers is to be held in the rooms of the National Rifle Association on Monday next, to arrange the details of the ceremony connected with the reception of 4he Elcho Shield at the Guildhall by the Lord Mayor, who has consented to take the custody of it for the present year. REPORTED RESIGNATION OF MR. BRIGHT.—The London correspondent of the Dublin Express states that Mr. Bright has now peremptorily insisted that he should be allowed to resign. The vote of £2,000,000 for an increase to the defences of the country is stated to be the immediate cause which led the right hon. gentleman to take this step. The statement which appeared in a London even ing paper on Friday that Inspector Brennan had been arrested and executed as a spy by the Prussians is a hoax. There is not the slightest truth in the rumour. The inspector, who has been on the continent, is now on his way home. At the Manchester assizes, on Friday, £175 was awarded to Sarah Jane Taylor, bazaar keeper, as com pensation for injuries sustained in a co lli s i on on t h e Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in November last. A. foreman bricksetter was also awarded £4OO as compensa tion for the loss of his legs, through the negligence of the defendants' servants. The vicarage of Ashton-under-Lyne, which is worth about £l,OOO a-year, has become vacant by the death of the Rev. George Cheturde, who had held it fifty four years, having been nominated by the Eail of Stani ford and Warrington in 1816. The nomination of a successor rests with the present earl. Mr. Cheturde was also the rector of the small living of Chilton, Bucking hamsihre, in which he resided. The remains of the I - ion. Francis Charteris, eldest son of Lord Elcho. were interred on Thursday in the church-yard of Aberlady. The funeral was strictly private. The funeral of the deceased was attended by the relatives and friends, including Lord Elcho, Lady Elcho, the Earl of Wemyss, Sir George Grant Suttie, Colonel Charteris, &c. The thermometer in London at 8 a.m. stood at 61, the barometer at 29'95. The pressure was consider ably higher on all coasts, the rise amounting to a quarter of an inch at Pembroke and Plymouth. The lowest read ing was at Valentia. At Nairn the temperature rose no less than eight degrees. The winds are generally light and south-westerly. In London the extreme direction was W. The weather is fine, and the sea calm. Rain has fallen in the south-west. PRICE STAMPED OUR PRESTIGE ABROAD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SUN." 'These of us who have reached middle life have often heard the " Honour of England " spokeri of as something - worth paying and fighting for, as a thing not to be trifled with or insulted with impunity. No doubt a great many foolish and regrettable acts were done in old times from mistaken views on this subject, similar--though not so recklessly wicked— to those we see now perpetrated to satisfy the " susceptibility " of France. But is national honour altogether a delusion and a snare ? Is there not a national honour— analog( us, not to the irri table touchiness , of the duellist, but to the self-respect of the gentleman—which no nation can forfeit without loss and danger, as well as humiliation and disgrace ? Is it well for a nation, once foremost in the Councils of Europe, to let it be supposed that no affront would rouse her to action ?—that as long as she is not actually attacked she will quietly look on at the wrongs and suffering of other countries—even if those, whom, when her spirit wag higher, she solemnly bound herself to protect ? What is oalled the policy of non-intervention wass: , adopted, no doubt, in the interests of peace. The origi nators of it told us, that if we set the example of throw ing away our arms, it would soon be followed by the rest of Europe, whose various nations, united by the bonds of commerce and national regard, would learn to live to-. gether in harmony like a band of brothers. Now, putting aside the question of honour and prestige, of how much we have lost of these, and whether they were worth* pos sessing, how far has our peace-at-any-price policy been successful in preventing war ? May we not fairly lay the Crimean conflict at the door of the fanatical peace-party ? Is it not notorious that the Emperor Nicholas was per suaded into the firm belief that England could not be "kicked into fighting"—that, but for this persuasion, he would never have violated the Turkish frontier ? Yes, and the contemness of England's .honour,—the same timid politicians, who shrink from uttering a binding word, are equally chargeable with the spoliation and ruin of Denmark, which, after being induced by the English Government to give up a, portion of its rights by the threat of being left unprotected in case of non-compliance, was left in the lurch after all. There_ is not a diplomatist of any note in Europe who will not tell you that the Governments of Prussia and Austria would have welcomed the armed intervention of England, would have been glad to be able to curb the inconvenient zeal of theki subjects by telling them that the invasion of Denmark meant certain war with England. And what is our position now ? Is it one of peace and. safety? The public in general, but not the far-seeing among them, have been astounded by the revelation of nameless treachery on the part of our closest ally and most be-lauded friend—of a conspiracy affecting not our honour only, but % bur very existence as a free and in dependent nation. And what could have induced the great Powers of Europe to entertain such thoughts, but an absolute reliance on their most potent allies in every scheme of conquest and aggrandisement the deriders of England's honour, the peace-mongering party representatives of which sit in the highest council of the State. - No less surprising than the discovery of our august ally's secret machinations against ,our honour and safety, is the manner. in which the intelligence has been received by his dupes and intended victims. The very rumour of such a conspiracy would, in former years, when the calm, soap-boiling element was less predominant, in the House of Commons, have caused a roar of indignation and defiance in that assembly from the nation at large. Now, the only very marked feeling produced is the fear of being angry lest our august ally should be angry with us for being angry with him. Oh, ye gods ! are we a nation at all ? For what nation would have taken such an insult with such calm philosophy ? If we cannot be indignant are we not even afraid? Do the people in England know what the ppssession of Belgium and the occupation of Antwerp by the French iuipues ? Why, it may fairly be doubted whether it would be possible to feed London for six months after the ports of France and• Belgium had been closed against us.—l remain, sir, your obedient servant, " Unt SALUS." [We would only suggest in regard to the above, that our correspondent should have written--not " our august ally' but—" our august allies." Both France and Prussia have yet to be called to account diplomatically in respect to those secret, and therefore suspicious, discussions or nego tiations, or whatever else they may be called, 1.6 to the absorption of Belgium by his imperial neighbour. The proportion of guilt appertaing respectively to France and Prussia in this matter would seem to be accurately indi cated only by the relative value of six and half a dozen.
