Each moth is drawn from nature by George Willis, and engraved in his best style by John Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species ; and if varieties require it, three, four, five. and even six figures are given. The work is c omplete in thirty one monthly numbers, at 6d. each. The woik is also issued in quarteriy parts, in covers, at Is. 6d. each part. Part X. now ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had. "We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and publication of this 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 advantages over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of eacli 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 valuablo for reference, and a handsome, taste fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years' earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento mologist deservedly stands high. . . We notice also with satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English. With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour to render them life-like. . . . We unhesitatingly commend this volume to our readers. We regard it as “ very useful addition to our library."' Land and Waler, Oct. 9. London—W. TWEEDIE. 337. Strand. W.O. Just paTlsnoti. price Is Cd., by post ls.

ALEXANDER, Sec. and Sup. THE REVIEWERS OF " LOTHAIR." The London correspondent of the Glasgow herald says the slashingrcriticism of Mr. Disraeli's book contained in this month's Blackwood has been written by Mr. Law rence Oliphant, author of the recent " Piccadilly Sketches," and a well-known contributor to the Tory magazine. Mr. Oliphant, who became known to fame by the record of his travels in connection with Lord Elgin's mission to China, entered Parliament as the representative of the Stirling Burghs, having been elected at the general election which took place immediately preceding Lord Palmerston's death. A sudden whim, partly occasioned perhaps by ill-health, caused him shortly after entering Parliament to resign his seat, and he departed for America, where he was next beard of as one of the founders of a new sect, whose peculiar principles seem to have been a combination of religion and farming. Here he was for some time, entirely lost to high-class society, of which he had once been an influential member, and what little was heard of him merely revealed the fact that he was leading a life of transcendental solitude, some what akin to that described in Hawthorne's " Blythes dale Romance." He was, in fact, beginning to be forgotten in England, when, at the commencement of the present year, his " Piccadilly Sketches" appeared and brought him more prominently before the public. They were very bitter and slashing in their tone, and, as they satirised the more glaring of our social evils, in the cynical vein of a man who, having probed their depths, and found them vanity, had retired into the wilderness, where he could rail at them with authority, the book became the town's talk, and was ex tremely popular at the fashionable libraries. One of the strangest features in connection with this publica tion, however, remains to be recorded. Having written, as it were, from the heart of his solitude, in the most caustic and condemnatory terms, of modern fashionable society, Mr. Oliphant left America and wow. - over., to London to hear what that society which he had so strongly ridiculed had to say about his book. He has been haunting the clubs for some time since, and " Lothair" having been opportunely given to the world whilst he was idling, he had the opportunity of feeding fat his grudge, ancient and otherwise, upon Mr. Disraeli, and writing a review, which, at all events, has created a sensation. --- The Standard says :—" Some of our readers may recol lect that from the time the Peelite section purchased the Morning Chronicle apparently for the purpose of writing Mr. Disraeli down, there were published in that paper year after year invectives against that gentleman which afar overstepped all the limits of political discussion. No ' one knew at the time who wrote them; they were ascribed to various individuals ; but at last it came out that the slashin, writer was Goldwin Smith, then a man comparatively unknown outside the walls of Balliol. Surely the Oxford professor must have forgotten, in his irritation at the "venomless story " of " Lothair," for how many years he libelled Mr. Disraeli with impunity and anonymously. The Court Journal prints the following :—lt is said that the onslaught on "Lothair," in Blackuood, is by. Colonel Hamley ; the article in Macmillan, which may be described asßlackwood and water, is by Mr. Hayward, the editor of the Quarterly Review ; and the one in the Fortnighly, Mr. Kerrison's. In the forthcoming Edinburgh there is to be an article on "Lothair" by Lord Houghton. EVENING !i4DirriON. BATHING SEASON. ST. LAWRENCE-ON-SEA, ISLE OF THANET. Mr. W.

THE OXFORD PROFESSOR'S "STINGLESS INSULTS.'? Mr, Alfred B. Beaven sends the following letter to the editor of the Times:— Sir,—Allow me to call attention to the following pas sages, taken from a letter which was addressed to the Manchester Examiner in the month of March, 1868, and which bears the signature " Goldwin Smith." " 1. His triumph is a triumph over public morality, and over the self-respect of the nation." "2. He attained his present position by an in trigue, dexterous, if merely falsehood can merit the name of dexterity,' but as vile as any that sullies the annals of political faction." "3. Disraeli has risen by personal invective, by con spiracy, by using the arsenic which kills noble repu tations." " 4. He has made his way by serving the prejudices of aristocracy, and not only its prejudices, but its lowest passions in a way in which the very menials who stood at its portals would bate scorned to do." " Neither his own principles nor the sight of a suffering and starving people could deter him from accepting the wages of political assassination." With the evidence of his own Billingsgate pen before him, I am astonished that even this foul-mouthed libeller can have the audacity to complain of the manner in which his least odious characteristics have been sketched in the brilliant pages of " Lothair." ; VIE WEEKLY PRESS. MR. GOLDWIN SMITH AND MR. DISRAELI Hoity-toity ! What a row ! exclaims the Saturday Review. Mr. Disraeli has, so Mr. Goldwin Smith says, called Mr. Goldwin Smith " a social parasite," and gin Goldwin Smith by way of retort, calls Mr. Disraeli "a stingless coward." And we are informed that on some previous occasion Mr. Goldwin Smith saluted Mr. Dis raeli as " a statesman of easy virtue," whereupon Mr. Disraeli retorted by characterising his opponent as " that wild man." All this is very amusing—for people will be amused by gross personalities—to the world of bystanders, but by no means so amusing to the friends of these masters in polite literature, and in the art of unpolite vitupera tion. The friends both of Mr. Smith and Mr. Disraeli will mutter the old line— " Who would not weep if Atticus were he ?" There is not much to be sure of Atticus in either the ex- Cabinet Minister or in the ex-Oxford Professor, but there is much for those who value the reputation of public men to be ashamed of. Passing by their previous encounters — in which, as it seems, Mr. Goldwin Smith began the bad habit of calling names—there is .this to be said of the past, that both the Premier and the Professor put their names to their strong talk. On _the present occasion the Right Honourable novelist fired the first shot, by stigmatising his old foe under the thin transparent veil of a scarcely disguised fiction. Up to last Tuesday everybody felt that Mr. Goldwin Smith had been treated in a very .unbecoming way, but they knew also that it was not for Mr. G. Smith to vindi cate himself. Let others do it, as others had indeed done it amft Mr. G. Smith ought by this time to know that there is nothing so ridiculous as to fit on a fool's cap which a spiteful foe presents to you. Mr. Goldwin Smith made exactly that false move which Mr. Disraeli wanted him to make. Mr. Disraeli was in the wrong—Mr. Goldwin Smith would not leave him there, and has put himself in a worse wrong. He says that Mr. Disraeli's affront is "sting less," and then he shews that he has been stung to the quick, and comes before the world with his face swollen, and evidently in great pain and agony. And worse, and more melancholy than all, he talks about " a coward," and about Mr. Disraeli " answering for his words." Mr. Goldwin Smith has not, we are sure, acclimatised himself to revolvers and the bowie-knife, and therefore we had rather think that he is talking nonsense than threatening pistols. Meanwhile, when in a very poor business like this one party forgets what is due to good taste and the other what is due to good sense, the cynical world is apt to laugh with the one and at the other. In this case we may regret, but cannot wonder, which way the laugh goes. KING MAKING IN SPAIN. It would be difficult, says the Spectator, to imagine a political scene more bizarre, more nearly approaching the grotesque, than that which is now transacting itself in Madrid. The representatives of the people of Spain are there trying to bind themsetues by law to evolve a king from the depths of their moral consciousness. The throne of Spain, once so great, has been rejected by prince after prince—by the experienced old politician Ferdinand of Coburg, by the boy Duke of Aosta, by the venerable old soldier General Espartero, and, it is believed, by the old but not venerable Regent Serrano. Should ordinary ex perience prove any guide in Spain—and we frankly con fess it seldom or never does—it would_ follow that all candidates now before the public will be rejected, and that the election, will fall either to somebody hitherto overlooked, or to some man bringing recommendations which overpower dislikes. Three solutions are possible : the King of Portugal, Marshal Prim, or the unknown prince ;'but of all, the most probable is the election of the dynasty of Braganza, by a two-thirds' vote to the sove reignty of Iberia. It is not, in our judgment, the best solution ; but it is the one which may best pave the way towards the ultimate end, the reconstitution of the Penin sula in the form which its traditions, its manners, and its geography alike seem to suggest. THE CHURCH'S ALTERNATIVE. The Joh;?, Bull thinks the National Society has a for midable alternative to face at its annual meeting on Wednesday. In Ireland the Church was disestablished and disendowed without quarter asked or offered In England it would seem to be the policy to invite her to purchase temporary toleration by the surrender of the prin ciple for which alone the Church really exists. A Church without a faith is a monster which has no right to live. As Churchmen, we have ever found the annual meeting of the national society rise alike above party feeling and diplomatic leading to stand simply and firmly on the principles of their charter and their Church. May it be so again ! One thing is clear. If the charter is to be vio lated, it had better be aurrendered; let the society dis solve itself and cumber the ground no more. It may live and do good service to God and man without Parlia mentary grants, but it cannot live to any good purpose, it can never .be other than a name of hissing and con tempt, if after fifty years devotion to " promoting the education of the poor in the principles of the Established Church," it shall now accept a bribe to vote that no child shall be required to receive any religious in struction in school or elsewhere. If we must fall, let us fall with our principles untarnished, our arms in our hands, and our banner over our heads. Happily, men of this spirit are a long time in falling. COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS. The 'Economist observes that now, little as success in a competitive examination may shew, it does shew, we submit, more of probable efficiency for work than any social influence exercised in a candidate's favour. This is not saying much for it, but it is saying quite enough. If you get a mode of selection which in the long run will secure a greater number of good servants from whom to choose than you would have got by leaving the nomina tions to the pressure of social influences, there is nothing further to be urged for the nomination system. Moreover, the new order in Council does not leave the matter wholly even to this test. It imposes a six months' trial in the duties of the office, after which the chief of the department is to certify, if he can, the candidate's practical efficiency before it confers the office at all. We trust this probation will at least to some extent be real, and not too nominal. The six months' probation is an exceedingly good qualifi cation of the purely intellectual test, and with it we need not fear but that the new civil servants will soon become a far more workmanlike set than we have ever yet had in the same offices. It is not a small matter that the Govern ment have achieved in establishing the Civil Service on a thoroughly popular basis, and yet on one which will secure the members of it consideration at the hands of the nation, respect from their own superiors, and a high average of practical as well as intellectual ability. The Bishop of Peterborough has been presented with a pastoral staff by some of the laity of his diocese. Mr. J. C. M. Bellew iq seriously unwell, and has been compelled to suspend all his readings for the present. Poor Charles Dickens's name was posted up at the Union Club in the list of candidates to be balloted for on the 22nd inst. Mr. Tom Taylor is said to be engaged on a new play for Mrs. Rousby, in which the actress is to perso nate Joan of Arc. The report which has been circulated that the Earl of Perth had abandoned all claim to the Perth estates is without foundation. A second munificent donation of £l,OOO has been given byy the Ven. Archdeacon Sinclair to the building fund of Kensington new parish church. It is stated on the best possible authority that Mr. Vernon Rigby has been engaged as principal tenor at the forthcoming Hereford and Birmingham Musical Festival. There is a rumour that Thomas Carlyle is going to America as soon as he has completed the revised edition of his works upon which he has been engaged for the last two years. Fifty Christ's Hospital boys are taught practical chemistry in the laboratory of St. Bartholomew's Hos pital. Periodical examinations are held, and indicate satisfactory general progress, and, in a few boys, extraor dinary proficiency in the subject. An ode for the installation of the Marquis of Salis bury as Chancellor of Oxford University, composed by the Rev. Sir F. G. Ouseley, is to be performed in the Shel donian Theatre, on the 22d instant, the commemoration day. The Civil Service Gazette understands that Mr Dilley, the author of "Illusions," the new comedy now being played at the Charing-cross Theatre, and also the joint author of one of the T. P. Cooke prize dramas, is a member of her Majesty's Civil Service. Nature regrets to learn that Baron Liebeg conti nues dangerously ill. He has recently submitted to two operations for a very painful abscess in the shoulder, and continues very weak, but perfectly clear and cheerful. although believing that death is near. MR. JOHN BRIGHT, M.P.—lt is said that a great improvement is observed in Mr. Bright's appearance. He receives few or no visitors at Llandudno, as he wishes to avoid all exciting topics of conversation, and to enjoy as much repose as possible. THE INTERVIEW AT Exts.—lt will be long before the elucidation of the Ems mystery takes place. A. private despatch from Flensburg to a French paper de clares that the interview bore no relation to the affairs of Gallicia, but that the two sovereigns would have been more likely to discuss the question of North Schleswig. On the other hand, it is affirmed that the Emperor and King did not dwell on any particular subject, but merely touched upon all matters of public importance in a general style. REVOLTING CRUELTY TO A CRILD.—At Wol verhampton, on Friday, a sweep, named John Smith, and his wife were committed for trial, upon the coroner's warrant, charged with the manslaughter of a child named Sarah King, aged three years and nine months, the daughter of the female prisoner. The evidence of the neighbours proved that the prisoners had beaten and starved the child, and one witness stated that when the child was dying the female prisoner was seen " shaking it to keep it alive." The body of the child was found to be shockingly emaciated, weighing only I.Blbs. During the inquest the people living near the prisoners became greatly excited against them ' and endeavoured to lynch them. The windows of their house were all smashed, and but for the arrival of the police, the building would have been pulled down. TO N 'A IS. (From the Western Mail of Saturday.) LONDON, Friday Evening. A pair of white gloves wasnevcr - niore completely out of fie reach of one of our J u d ges th an it wa S out o f t h e reac h _ _ _ of Chief Jugtiee Bovill this session•at the .Criminal Court. The catalogue of the accused ,Was sonve,tKug appalling. The Recorder must haveshuddered on unfolding it—feel ing himself, as he did so, as though there had devolved _ _ upon him the duties far rather of a recording demon than of a recording angel. Instead of- white gloves for the Judges, a larger nosegay than ever for the comforting of the nostrils of each—a more plentiful supply of sweet herbs to strew before the accused—as a preservative against the gaol fever ! "There's rue for you," he might have said to any of those arraigned at the bar, " and there's some for me; you may wear your rue with a difference !" Or—after he had gone through his abhorrent list, echoing rather the words of Lear than of Ophelia— . . . . there's hell, there's darkness, There is the sulphurous pit, burning, scalding, stench, Consumi don. Fie, fie, fie! Pah! pah! Give me an ounce of civet, good apothecary, To sweeten my !ma 'nation. It is the most appalling catalogue of crime that has ever, perhaps, come together under consideration at the Old Bailey—murder red-handed, murder most foul, base, and unnatural, forgery, perjury, and abominations too horrible and revolting in their character to particularize anywhere, but in open court in the formal arraignment of the accused. Wonderful to tell, however, the list was within a hair's-breath, as one may say, of having added to it another atrocity of portentous magnitude—meaning _ _ the wholesale butchery of the poor, honest blacksmith's family at Denham, near Uxbridge ; that ghastly massacre having been perpetrated only just outside the limits that would have brought it within the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court of Middlesex. The Uxbridge tragedy, as it is called, seems to me in its surroundings as though the characters, and incidents, and localities, described •in " Great Expectations " had somehow got horribly jumbled up together—as though Magwitch and Orlick were one and the same person, by whose homicidal hand Joe Gar gery had been. struck downat his forge, and, together with Joe Gargery, a whole family of little ones like Pip, with their aunt, the mother, and the grandmother. As it is, the sessional labours just commencing at the Central Criminal Court present to view a double murder, so ter- rible of its kind as to resemble nothing less ghastly than one of the most morbid imaginings of the diseased fancy of Edgar Allan Poe, meaning the story, entitled, " Thou art the man !" in which the lid of the box is burst open by the doubled-up corpse of the victim, just as the lid of that dreadful green box in the kitchen of poor old Mr. Heulin's house was raised by the murdered remains of his unfortu nate housekeeper. Londoners, during this next week or two, will have certainly the wherewithal now only to sup on horrors, but to breakfast and dine upon them as well, if they are so ghoul-minded in;the devouring of their news papers. Immediately before the re-assembling of the two Houses at the close of the Whitsuntide holidays, attention is dis tracted from the onslaught made by Blackwood on the ex-Premier, through that cut-and-thrust critique upon " Lothair "—which is attributed by some to Mr. Paget, and by others to Colonel Hamley—by the deliciously ridiculous, and yet outrageously insolent, missive addressed to the member for Bucks by Mr. Smith, of England and America—Mr. Goldwin Smith, that is to say, formerly of Oxford, and now of Ithaca, in the United States. The laugh against him all through town now is, that he has himself fitted the cap on his own head, or, rather, it should be said at once and henceforth, the cap and bells. Never, it may be safely averred, has a clever man (in his way) made a more ludicrous, or, at the same' time, a more brutal blunder. The " wild man "of Mr. Disraeli certainly makes a charming pendant to the " noble savage "of Mr. Osborne. Under the companion pictures, the trite Horatian motto, Par nobile fratrum, might for once be inscribed appropriately. The crowning sorrow of all has befallen the afflicted house of Newcastle. The Duke and one of his brothers, i t both bankrupt, Lord Arthur Clinton is now "wa "in one or two directions, under a warrant from Bow- t, can .., the charge of bilking a cabman of twenty shillings , lam a warrant from the Central Criminal Court for certain (to speak of them in the mildest possible terms) disreputable associations. Men of letters and politicians are alike eagerly on the watch just at this later turning-point in the parliamentary session for the publication at last of their long-promised biography of Lord Palmerston, by his friend and colleague in the subtle art (or science, shall I call it ?) of diplomacy, Sir Henry Bulwer. If the work should not be issued from the press until after the double close of the session and of the season, it will, most assuredly, be a matter of very general regret and disappointment. As a reminder that the period of the year when London will be flitting hither and thither on the holiday excursions of those who have either summer or autumnal leisure, a luxury hardly known to the unhappy journalist, there come into my hands two very different, but two very charming works ; one a thin octavo, by Edward Spender, the other a couple of portly volumes, by Walter Thernbury ; the former entitled " Fjord, Isle and Tor," being descriptive of the Land's End, the Channel Islands, and Norway; the latter, that is Walter Thornbury's book, re-christened now " A Journey Round England," being, in point of fact, the long since tolerably well-known "As the Crow Flies " series of papers appearing from week to week in the double columned pages of All the Year Round. Why the title should ever have been altered I cannot conjecture. There are two illustrated publications, strictly new and intensely true, upon the very verge of their appearance— " London," pencilled by Gustave Dore, and penned by Blanchard Jerrold—England in the Nineteenth Century, edited, conducted, or however else you may please to term it, by G. A. S.— light and daylight, otherwise by George Augustus Sala. Do any of your readers down at Cardiff and its surroundings, who happened some twenty years ago—namely, in the month of May, 1851—to be in Lon don, with all the rest of the world from the ends of the earth, to witness the then novel wonders of the first great International Exhibition, Prince Albert's, Sir Joseph Paxton's, England's, Europe's, the two hemispheres'—do any of you readers, I wonder, chance to bear in their recollection, as vividly as I do myself, a certain wonderful, whimsical, fantastic, multitudinous caricature, or rather wandering wilderness of caricatures, pencilled with a most facile hand on the walls bordering the grand staircase, winding its way up the centre of the late Countess of Blessington's some time residence of Gore House at Ken sington, then, in 1851, a sort of mammoth restaurant, the chef of which was the sublime Alexis Soyer ? If they do recall to mind that - drawing in bizarre outlines of all the celebrities or notorieties of the day and of the night, they will bear in their recollection the first displayof that since pro lific genius for droll conceits, George Augustus Sala, artist, man of letters, contributor to the periodicals, newspaper correspondent, polyglot-sensational-last-leader- writer in the Daily Telegraph, who is now going to tell the later half of the nineteenth century all about itself, in so far as relates to this our England. A goodly staff is understood to have already gathered about Mr. Sala, who himself has shown that he can wield the pen of a ready writer allur ingly enough ever since he opened upon the world through his very first article in Household Words—opened upon it how, or with what ? With " The Key of the Street," — the capital title of that brilliant first article of Sala's, which may be turned to by those who list, and which is worth turning to, I promise you, in No. 76, at p. 565 of the third volume of our dear lamented Charles Dickens's Household Words. " The Key of the Street," in point of fact, is in some sort the seed-germ of Sala's larger, but kindred, work, called " Twice Round the Clock." It showed, at any rate, by going once round the clock through the darker hours, if not what was the time of day, at any rate what was the 4ime of night among the sleep ing, boosing, thieving, rgeling, roystering, miserable, watched or watching worlil of Londoners. Sala's obser vant glance now will turn from London to England from the twelve or the twenty-four l :l9urs to the century. Have you realised the result(of the decision arrived at the other day by the Queen in Council at Balmoral ? According to the significance of the announcement of it, as since then officially published in the Gazette, there is an end thenceforth for ever to what has been known, and sought, and bestowed hitherto under the name, style, and title of ministerial patronage. Everything,—lthat is all the good things—big and little, in the civil service (barring the judgeships) can be obtained by the mob of aspirant, only and solely through the ordeal of open competitions Snug berths, cushions plumped out with bank notes. small allotments on Tom Tiddler's ground, sacred to that pleasant pastime described by Mr. Alfred Mantalini as picking up the demnition gold and silver"—all these luscious tidbits, the ortolans of official life—the truffles of political existence, are, by this one sweep of the pen, by one sign manual of the sovereign, dissipated into thin air, and are henceforth as the mere golden day-dreams of the place-hunter's excited and ecstatic imagination.
