A BOOK FOR 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. 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, lsle, 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 back 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.

WILSON, newsagent, and special agent for the North-wester n District, 24, Delancey-street, Camden town, N W SKETCHES IN PARLIAMENT. TUESDAY On no occasion throughout the present eventful session has the House of Commons presented a more impressive spectacle than it exhibited yesterday afternoon. The tropical rain had not deterred either members or visitor from coming down to hear the rival chiefs of parties deliver their opinions on the continental ctisis. Marvel lous was the difference between the scene presented by the Lower House lest night and the Upper House on Thursday, when Lord Granville made his statement. Instead of a half empty Chamber, as on the earlier occasion, and speeches so brief and so unadorned that they partook of the character of a conversation rather than of a debate, there was yesterday a densely thronged Chamber, and set orations of great eloquence. The number of distin guished strangers was unusually large, and the gallery over the clock was as crowded as other parts of the House. There sat Lord Granville throughout the whole of Mr. Disraeli's speech, and throughout the greater part of Mr. Gladstone's, until a telegram, passed on from hand to hand, reached him, and having read it he hastily rose and hurriedly left the House. By his side was the Commander-in-chief, a significant companionship, ominous of the measures which they may have to concert together. Lord Houghton and a score of other peers were present, and a glance at the foreign looking faces of some of the other occupants of the gallery told that the diplomatic body was largely represented ; in fact both the French and Prussian Ambassadors were there. The evening's catechism was long, and for the most part uninteresting. But Mr. Baxter drew down a round of applause by the emphatic and distinct manner in which he answered a question put by Sir James Elphinstone, and into which the Portsmouth baronet had contrived to infuse a very strong tincture of the most malignant and unworthy insi nuation. There were a few questions bearing on the war. Mr. Stapleton, for instance, elicited from Mr. Gladstone the important statement that the law officers of the Crown had decided that the chartering of English colliers to follow the French ships of war in order to supply them with coal, would be a breach of the neutrality laws ; and Mr. Bernal Osborne obtained from Mr. Cardwell the satisfactory information that in consequence of the present critical state of Europe the 44th Regiment which was about to be sent to the Cape of Good Hope will be retained in England. But as a rule the matters broached by inquisitive M.P.'s were of Little interest. It was not till seven minutes past five that catechising was over, and the Speaker put the question that, "I do now leave the chair." Mr. Disraeli then rose and delivered a, speech which lasted just an hour. It had not been expected that he would speak at such length. Neverthe less, I need hardly say, that he was listened to with something more than patience by the large and bril liant audience. It was somewhat startling to hear a Conservative Minister announce as his opening sentence, the opinion that our diplomacy suffered by too great reticence. If there is one thing more than another in which the Malmesburys, and other diplomatists of the o'd school believe, it is the necessity of absolute secrecy in foreign affairs ; and if there is one thing more than another which they resent it is the curiosity—the imperti- tent curiosity as they deem it—of the House of Commons. Nevrtheless Mr. Disraeli almost rebuked the House for not having categorically demanded of Ministers their in- tentions with respect to the belligerents. One of them, and lie ought to know, said Mr. Disraeli, had predicted that this would be a long and severe war. Who could say that we should certainly keep out of it? He then described with many a felicitous epigram the course of events since the dispute began. He considered that neither the Hohenzollern candidature, nor "the breach of etiquette at a watering place " had anything to do with the war. Both were " evanescent pretexts." On the other hand had not M. Rouher declared that the Emperor had-been preparing forwar for-tertir-yeare,--he (M. Rouher) himself having been Minister during the greater portion of that time? Had not also Count Bismarck when the Diplomatic Body were, after the withdrawal of Prince Leopold's candidature, congratulating him upon this escape from his troubles, declared that the incident in question had very little to do with the dispute ? Mr. Disraeli shewed great caution in speaking of the Secret Treaty. He would not pass any opinion upon it, but said it shewed that there were several subtle schemes afloat on the Continent, the result of which might involve us in hostilities. He then went on to speak of the treaties in which we are concerned. With some sarcasm he described the treaty which guaranteed the existence of Belgium as by no means of ancient date, by no means one of those drawn 1.q3 in the dark days of Mr. Pitt and Lord Castlereagh, but as having been origi nated by a Reforming and Liberal Government, whose motto was peace, retrenchment, and reform. As for the treaty which guaranteed the neutrality of Luxemburg that was of very recent date, and, said Mr. Disraeli, I am prepared to take my share of responsibility for it. But there was a third treaty ; and then the Opposition leader went on to enlighten the House with respect to an arrangement, concerning which I suspect most members were ignorant, and under which we had become pledged to maintain, the inviolability of the King of Prussia's Saxon provinces. This was Mr. Disraeli's great coup de thedtre, and he made the most of it. Armed with the knowledge of this Treaty, the British Go vernment should, he said, have carried on its negotiations for peace with almost invincible force, though why Count Bismarck should be less eager to make war than Mr. Disraeli described him to be because England was bound by treaty to aid him, Mr. Disraeli by no means made clear. Then came the unfolding of his policy. It was to be that of armed neutrality, and England was, in concert with Russia, to use all the pressure possible to restore peace. An Anglo - Russian alliance, supported by arma ments, was to be the cure for the present war fever by which France and Prussia are consumed. But was that policy possible? " When I see naval squadrons passing within sight of our shores," said Mr. Disraeli, " I should like to see a strong channel fleet," a sentiment highly ap proved on the Conservative benches. Then, with con siderable adroitness, he went on to praise the abilities of Mr. Gladstone and the late Lord Clarendon, and to de clare how impossible it was that two such able Ministers could have been ignorant of the impending war. This being so, how came it to pass that they had been parties to unceasing reductions? Why had Woolwich been closed before Chatham was finished ? Why had our best artisans been banished to Canada? A shout of applause greeted the orator at this point. Then, growing very solemn, and assuming the voice and style of Cas sandra, he warned Mr. Gladstone of the fate which befel a Ministry not less able, not less numerically strong, than ' his. It was exactly seventeen years ago that Parliament was prorogued, before the Aberdeen Government had made any decisive announcement of its policy, and the result was that the Russians crossed the Pruth. Then followed six months of "discordant councils and infirm con duct," and at last England drifted into war, and into humiliation, and the Ministry was wrecked. Mr. Disraeli concluded with a strong appeal to the Government to declare its intention to fulfil its treaty obligations. Mr. Gladstone rose to reply at ten minutes past six. He made short work of Mr. Disraeli's alarming discovery with respect to the Treaty of Vienna. In fact, the idea of our being bound to fight in order to secure Prussia, one of the first military Powers in the world, the indepen dence of her Saxon provinces, was too absurd. Even more absurd was the supposition that we should have prevented Prussia from going to war by telling her that if she did we should have to place our army at her disposal. Mr. Gladstone then went on to repudiate the assertion that he had foreseen the war. The English Government had not fore seen it, and the French Government was equally ignorant, for so lately as June 30, M. 011ivier had declared that never was the peace of Europe so assured. To Mr. Disraeli's suggestion that we should obtain the help of Russia in urging peace, the Premier readily assented, but he would not confine co-operation with that power, and Mr. Disraeli thereupon remarked that he had not intended to do so. The other recommendation from the Opposition chief—armed neutrality—the Ministerial chief could not accept. It was 'dangerous. It made both parties suspi cious and disinclined to accept our good offices. The nen trality should be thoroughly impartial, and it would be secure. • Mr. Gladstoiic then enumerated the various steps which he had taken to attain the first object ; and he next shewed how un founded were the statements as to the alleged inefficiency of our defences. He took up one item after another, infantry, cavalry, artillery, ships, guns, rifles, stores, coals, fortifications, and shewed that our position was excellent. This condition was due to the policy of the Government, whereby our forces were no longer scattered over the face of the earth, where they often did mischief and involved us in squabbles, but were now close at hand ready to do their duty. He referred very briefly, but very emphatically, to the Secret Treaty as a most serious and grave event, which had given a great shock to public confidence. But he declined to commit himself to any positive statement with respect to Belgium. It was enough that he intended on the following day to ask the House to sanction additional estimates for our army and navy. The peroration was very eloquent, and concluded with the hope that we might be the blessed instruments of restoring peace. Mr. Gladstone spoke forty minutes, and when he sat down, Sir John Hay and Mr. Bernal Osborne rose together. There were loud cries of " Osborne," but the Speaker in accordance with his rule of allowing each side of the House to speak alternately, selected the Tory Admiral, who made a fierce attack upon Ministerial economy. Mr. Osborne - was scarcely as witty as he usually is. He displayed his strong Prussian predilections, which were exhibited so remarkably six years ago, when England was full of in dignation against Prussia for her invasion of Denmark, and he called upon the Government to exercise the armed neutrality which Mr. Disraeli had recommended. As soon as he had finished, and he spoke but some twenty minutes, there was an exodus to the dining-room, and Mr. Cardwell made his minute defence of the War Office to a thin House. It was clear now that we were in for a night's debate. We had a violently Imperialist speech from Sir Henry Hoare, and a strong Belgian speech from Mr. Baillie . Cochrane, who must feel himself back in his old element, the element of foreign politics, in m hick he used to disport himself so gracefully in the old Palmerston days. Mr. Richard made a Peace Society speech, which was endorsed later in the evening by the lugubrious-looking Quaker, Mr. Gilpin. Sir Henry Bulwer amused the members who had ears keen enough to take in his very faint and feeble accents with his diplomatic re miniscences, and was hard upon M. Benedetti. Mr: Graves referred so pointedly to the absence of Belgium from Mr. Gladstone's speech that the Premier thought it necesary to get up and explain that it was because of Bel gium that he was going to ask for increased estimates. The debate did not conclude till half-past eleven, and after that there was a long night's work whereof I can give you no account. I see that M.P.'s did not leave the House till half past three in the morning, a really cruel hour. THE ARCHBISHOP OF PARIS ON THE: WAR. Mgr. Darboy, the Archbishop of Paris, has written a pastoral address on the war, in which he declares that France has taken up the sword in a legitimate cause, for she seeks to restore the balance of power in Europe, and to bring about a general disarmament. Humanly speak ing nothing is wanted to ensure success to the Imperial arms, but as the vicissitudes of war cannot be foreseen, it becomes a Christian people to confide their cause to the God of battles.

We have to record that George Holland, the veteran of the American stage, has been in his time one of the best of its comedians, and always a worthy, honoured gentleman. Th e suggestion that we made some months ago—and which was eagerly caught up by the press in all directions—that a complimentary benefit should be tendered to Mr. Hol land by the chiefs of his profession, is once more, renewed, and we earnestly hope it may bear fruit in some substan tial good to the aged actor. Concerning the claims for such a benefit that Mr. Holland has upon the members of the dramatic profession, and upon the theatre-going public, we presume there is no need for us to say a word. The fact that this venerable player, at the age of 79, is still compelled to participate—to the extent of his feeble powers —in active duty, tells its own story, and makes its own significant and eloquent appeal. In another point of view, also, Mr. Holland arrests public attention and inspires interest. He is one of the oldest actors in the world. He has been on the stage for more than half a century. He is an honourable relic of the past, that links us with earlier generations, and as such ought to be honoured. When George Holland was born this Republic had existed only four years under the Constitution. Washington was President of the United States, and George the Third was King of England. Napoleon Bonaparte's tremendous and startling career was all before him. Byron was an infan t three years old. Shelley was yet unborn, Not one of the Waverley novels had been written. Steamboats were to be invented. In brief, modern literature was yet to come, and the great strides of modern civilisation had yet to be made. Thinki ng o f a ll th ese t hi ngs we realise the career of the aged actor, and view him as an object ni uncommon interest.— Tribune, Viscount Midleton is so seriously ill that his life is despaired of. He was formerly (as the Hon. Mr. Brod rick) rector of Bath and Dean of Exeter. Most of the papers note the death of Mr. Alexander Devaux. The Times says he was one of the most esteemed merchants in the City of London, and head of the firm of Charles Devaux and Co. ' which has been establish e d h ere near l y h a lf a century. Mr. Devaux was a Frenchman, with large property both in France and this country, and his patriotic interest in the impend ing war probably accelerated his death, which occurred from apoplexy. He was chairman of the Anglo-Egyptian Banking Company, deputy chairman of the Ottoman (Smyrna to Main) Railway, and a director of the Medi terranean Extension Telegraph Company and of the General Credit and Discount Company. Emma Harken, a married woman, has been arrested at Jersey on a charge of compasssing the death of a child named Alice Mary Paint, aged twelve years, by gross ill-treatment, and neglecting to give her sufficient food. The prisoner had the care of the child, who she said was an orphan. The child used to call her " aunt," but there is reason to believe the prisoner was her mother previous to her marriage. She made the child do all the household work, taxing her beyond her strength, and continually beat her for the veriest trifles. In addition to this, the poor child was half starved, and ate ravenously any food the neighbours gave her. Two days before her death, though she was then and had been for some days in a dying state, she was sent into the street on an errand at eleven o'clock at night. AUGUST 3, 18 TORNADOS. The Canadian papers contain details of the recent tor nado at Montreal, from which we cempile the following facts. The direction was from west to east, and although it only lasted about five minutes, it seemed determined to wreak its fury upon everything within its reach. The wind blew a perfect hurricane, and rain mixed with hail came not in torrents, but in huge sheets that rolled and foamed and swept the streets with a teriific grandeur that at once arrested . . the attention of the most indifferent. When it had ceased the streets were several inches deep in water, rushing in every direction to find a lower level anti outlet. So far as we are yet able to ascertain, the damage done is about as follows :—The glass-works at the west end has suffered considerably, the furnace and part of the moulding-room and cutting-shop were blown down and are a complete wreck. The damage done cannot be much below 20,000 dols. At the rolling mill, a large stack was carried away with fearful havoc into the canal. In St. Antoine-street a roof was carried wholesale off a house and scattered in the street. In Bonaventure-street, a roof and a good part of a house were blown down and landed upon the railway track, so completely obstructing it that the trains were stopped for some time, until men were set to clear away the dgbris. As far as we are able to learn, no lives were lost or persons injured, although it is reported that a boy was killed at the rope-walk across the canal, but the statement needs confirmation. The men engaged at the rolling-mills were working at the time of the storm, but hurried out of the buildi ng a t th e fi rs t signal of danger, and fortunately escaped unhurt. The glass-works luckily were unoccupied, and although the havoc there was immense, no lives were endangered. The telegraph wires were prostrated, and communication interrupted for the remainder of the evening. The Hungarian Chamber has passed the bills for granting supplementary credits to the military depart ment and for calling in the recruitq now voted before October. The ex-Crown Prince of Hanover, according to the Liberte, has been asked by the Government of the Emperor Napoleon to enter the service of the French marine. The Sultan has instructed his architects, Serkis Bey and Agoo Bey, to prepare a plan for the rebuilding of Pera. It will be compared with the three other plans made by the Technical Department of the Municipality, and a definite choice made. On Monday Lieutenant Charles Edward 'Turner, Royal Engineers, was accidentally drowned in the Medway while engaged in pontooning operations at Wouldham, near Rochester. The deceased, with other officers and Sappers, attempted to swim ashore from the pontoon raft, during which he was carried away by the tide, and almost immediately sank. The body was rocovered shortly afterwards. Mr. Maden bolt, M.P., has made an energetic speech in reply to an address from the Orangemen of Bacup. Mr. Holt said the liberty wanted by Romanists was very different from that wanted by Churchmen. The former were the aggressqrs, for the liberty which they wanted was to prevent other persons from exercising the duties of thtir religion. He declared the Irish Church to have been disestablished at the bidding of the Pope. The Manchester summer assizes were opened on Tuesday. Mr. Baron Cleasby, in addressing the Grand Jury, congratulated them upon the absence of cases " arising in any degree out of a feeling of disaffection to the Government." He was also glad to find that there were no crimes of violence arising out of trade combina tions—a state of things which contrasted very favourably with that which had come under his observation at the spring assizes in Yorkshire. - - Among the parliamentary papers last issued is the seventh volume of the Report of the Royal Commission. on Primary Education in Ireland ; report of the Meteoro logical Committee of, the Royal Society; an account'of the receipts and expenditure of naval prize, bounty, sal vage, and other moneys • a return respecting stamps of all kinds ; votes of credit for increased armaments ; and a return respecting military savings' banks, which shews that up to this date £311,967 is deposited, • A. Yeovil correspondent states that the continental war has had the effect of causing a revival of the glove trade in that town and district. The supply of German gloves, which has been obtainable at much less than those of English make, has now fallen far below the de mand, consequently orders are pouring in from all direc tions, and the manufacturers at Yeovil and the neigh bourhood have already received orders that will keep their employs in full work for several months to come, and will put an end to all further projects of emi gration. - - - - - The Venerable Archdeacon Hornby delivered his first charge at Preston on Monday, when in reference to church rates, he said he believed it would be found that such rates, when laid, would be cheerfully paid; but if tenant refused to pay, the matter should be brought before the landlords, for payment of church rates was really a landlord's question, not a tenant's, and he was persuaded that when the matter was fairly brought before them, they would take the church expenses on them• selves, and would not desire to release their property from an obligation to which it had been subject from time immemorial. A SAILOR AND HIS BOAT.—The Victoria (British Columbia) Colonist gives an account of a sloop called the Yellow Lane which arrived there in June from Fort Simpson, quite a curiosity in her way. She was built by Joseph Spence—a rugged specimen of an English sailor—from cypress, a species of wood quite abundant in this locality. The trees were felled by Spence ; the planks were whipsawed by him and an Indian ; every nail in her hull was driven by Spence himself. Alone in the solitude of the north-west coast, remote from the sound of a civilised voice, Spence worked seven long month, and when he had launched his little bark successfully he rigged her out with his own hands, and with the Indian as his only "crew" he set sail for Victoria, accom plishing the distance of nearly 800 miles in 14 sailing days, which would be reckoned good time for a well-appointed vessel.

EXTRAORDINARY ACT OF FOLLY. A young man, named Peter Cann, went to a neigh bour's house at Newbridge, about three miles from Exeter, on Sunday afternoon, to purchase nuts. Seeing a gin* in the corner of the room, and not knowing it was loaded ; he took it up, went outside the house, and pointed the weapon through the open door of a room in which five or six people were sitting. He pulled the trig , r b er, and the gun, which was unfortunately loaded, w as discharged; and the contents flew about the room. A baby, sitting in the lap of a youn ,, married woman named Basten, was instantly killed, and the young woman was severely wounded in the chest, arm, neck, and face. A man named Holsworthy was also wounded in the face. The injured, persons were immediately removed to the Devon and Exeter Hospital. Basteu's husband was also in the room at the time of the casualty, mid received ashot in his face i but he was only slightly injured. LAW AND POLICE. SUICIDE OF A LADY IN THE STREET.—An inquiry was concluded on Monday night by Mr. Humphreys at thti London Hospital, respecting the death of M rs . itebecca Delomonie, aged 34 years. Mr. Joseph Delomcnie, 40; Anthony-street, Commercial - road, deposed that the deceased was his wife. He carried on the business of a naturalist, but latterly he had not been successful in it. His wife became very depressed in spirits about the failure of the business, and she threatened to commit suicide. He believed that she had committed the act of self-destruction while in a state of temporary insanity. Police-constable Hill, 101 11, deposed that on Friday night, while on duty in Aldgate, lie saw the de 7 ceased walk out in the middle of the roadway and throw herself in front of the horses of an animal charcoal wa g gon. The horses stepped over h er , an d th e f ron t an d hind wheels passed over her neck. She was at once re moved to the London Hospital, where she was pronounced to be dead. The jury returned a verdict of suicide while in a state of unsound mind. ILLNESS OF THE MAGISTRATE OF THE THAMES POLICE COURT.—Mr. John Paget, the senior magistrate of the Thames Court, who has been labouring under severe illness for upwards of three months, and who has lately returned to England from Paris, is making very slow' progress towards recovery. It is feared that he will not be able to resume his official duties for a month or six weeks to come. Mr. Lushington has sat daily, without intermission, for the last four weeks: THE UNITED SERVICE COMPANY IN CHANCERY.—An application was mode in Rolls Chambers in reference to a settlement of the list of contributors and claims in the matter of this suit.

He hail also given notice of this to Hudson's assignees, and now tendered affidavits in reference to the claim of General Hall and others, stating that he had other claims much larger. The Chief Clerk said, under all the circum stances of the case, the matter would have to go into court THE NORWICH ELECTION PETITION .--The Nor wich election petition was filed on Tuesday.

These pills soon give tone to the stomach, renovate the digestive powers, purify the, blood, and give strength to the whole system. Sluggish ness of the body and depression of the mind are succeeded , by a cheerful activity of the physical and mental functions. Indigesticn is the parent of so many evils, and is so com mon,, so universal a complaint, that it is a great blessing such a remedy as this invaluable medicine should hav6 been discovered. No one need long suffer from indiges:. tion with these pills at hand,
