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 o r iti nerar y, b u t designed to give the voyager an intelligent interest in the manners, customs, industries, and institutions of the districts he is expl Ting. Fos 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 intending excursionists a veritable benefaction. . . Altogether the bookis 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 line 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 tou r i s t an d 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 Gironde of Bordeaux gives an account of a dreadful acci dent in the park of Bordeaux, where a scaffolding erected for a bull fight suddenly gave way, by which twelve persons were killed, and about thirty-nine badly wounded, many with broken limbs. The engineer who had been entrusted with the erection of the structure has been arrested. THE IRISH EXPRESSION OF SYMPATHY WITH FRANCE. — Four prisoners were brought before the police magistrates in Dublin on Wednesday charged with , being in the disorderly mob of Tuesday night ; one was an Excise officer, and was fined £3, having previously been sentenced to one month's imprisonment, without the option of a fine, but the fine was substituted in consequence of his large helpless family. The other prisoners were bound over to keep the peace. :~ , THE LAW OF PAWNBROKING.—OII Wednesday the Select Committee on the Pawnbrokers' Bill met to ex amine witnesses. Mr. Bodkins said his experience shelved that most of the stolen property produced in magistrates' courts had passed through the pawnbrokers. He did not approve of the police having the power to enter pawn brokers' shops and inspect the books, but the magistrates might record any case of carelessness on the back of the license, and if this occurred several times the license should be refused. CONVENTUAL AND MONASTIC INSTITITIONS.—The Select Committee onConventual and Monastic Institutions sat yesterday—the Right Hon. C. P. Villiers in the chair. Two petitions from Scotland against such institutions were read. Mr. Ford, honorary solicitor of All Saints' Home, Margaret-street, said the o bj ec t s o f th e h ome were the maintenance of incurable and infirm persons and orphans the visiting and nursing of the poor and sick, and other charitable offices. It consisted of a superior and sisters. There were trustees to the institution, which was sanc tioned by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Every sister had power to leave when she liked, but a month's notice was expected. The property of the institution consisted of the houses in Margaret-street and £7,000 stock invested in the names of four trustees. • THE GOVERNMENT DOCKYARDS AND FACTORIES. —The war which has so suddenly broken out on the Con tinent has tended to increased activity in most of the Government establishments at Woolwich. Several of the departments in the Royal Arsenal have extensive orders on hand ; the Royal Gun Factories have received an order to manufacture 50 bronze muzzle-loading 9-pounder field guns, in addition to those already completed, without fur ther experiments, as originally intended. A large number of 12-pounder muzzle loading guns, which have been laid aside for some time, owing to the introduction of the breechloader into the service, are at once to be rifled, so as to be available for immediate use. Workmen are now engaged in carrying out this order. The workmen in the Royal Carriage Department are working over-time, in order to expedite the completion of the iron gun-carriages in course of manufacture in that departmeut. At Devon port and Keyham no orders have been received either from the Admiralty or War Office that have any bearing whateyer on the war, THURSDAY. Unless Denmark should join France there will not on the present occasion be that painful clashing of inter ests on the part of our Royal Family that there was in the Dano-G-erman War. So far the only two members of it directly concerned are on the same side. The husband of the Princess Alice of Hesse Darmstadt, no less than the husband of the Princess Victoria of Prussia, will fight side by side. But the contingency of Denmark endeavouring to recover, by a French alli ance, the possessions whereof she was ruthlessly deprived in 1864, is so probable that the Prince of Wales does wisely to fetch home his wife at once. The Princess Victoria will probably take refuge here while the Prince of Prussia is in command of the South German army. There should be even greater need for the Princess Alice to do likewise; for Hesse Darmstadt is one:orthe States that will have to bear the first shock of war, and ia likely to be the scene of many a battle. The Princess, by the way, has adopted far more advanced theological views than those which were held by her father, the friend of Bunsen. She is the friend of Strauss, and there is- , % story told to the effect that lately being asked to give some pecuniary support to the maintenance of an English chaplain, she declined, asking why the people could not be content with the Lutheran Church, or "go nowhere, as I do." The Queen's absence from town is just now the subject of unfavourable remark. At the very least, it is said, she might stay at Windsor if , her own capital is so intolerable. At present, when the most important events are pending, when Ministers have had under discussion so grave a matter as the despatch of a military force to Belgium, it is not fair to compel them to lee making jour neys of nigh 200 miles whenever they wish to see their sovereign. The strong remarks in the Times will, it is to be hoped, produce some alteration of arrangements. When the Premier gets knocked up by excessive fatigue it is time to speak out. No incident of the last few days has caused so much ex citement as the rumour that Russia had joined Prussia which vas diligently circulated and widely believed. The streets, in the neighbourhood of the Bank were a sight to see. They were filled with ! an excited crowd, who, if anyone chanced to pass with a newspaper, set upon him, and made him tell the news. The panic was some thing extraordinary, and Consols fell more rapidly than they did on Black Friday, four years ago. There is no limit to the effect of this war. It is felt not only in the capital, but far away at the extremities of the kingdom. Of all parts of Great Britain, the extreme north of Scot land is the last which one would have expected to find any mischievous result. But at Wick the war is producing the most serious distress. Prussia is the great continenta market for the Scotch herring fishery. It is just at this season that the fish-curers engage the fishermen. But in consequence of the events of the past week the first have declined to enter into any arrangement with the second, and the result is that in the Wick district alone therel are 1,000 boats left unemployed, and the owners are thronging the streets, seeking vainly for employment. Altogether there !are 4,000 boats employed in this industry, and it is feared that ruin must befall the twenty or thirty thousand persons interested in the fishery. In the City the effect of the war has been felt afresh to-day by the raising of the Bank rate of discount, The extraordinary manifestation of feeling on behalf of France which took place at Dublin on Tuesday is a rather serious matter. It means trouble for us if we should becoMe involved in the war and take part with Germany. It means that in that event France would make use of the Fenian organisation to embarrass us. This is a point which we cannot afford to overlook, when we remember the events of the great war with France, and which might have had very different issue for us if the French expe dition to Ireland had been under the leadership of a different General from Hoche. The Irish en thusiasm in behalf of France will be stimu lated by the fact that the chief French general is of Irish name and extraction. Marshal M'Mahon is the descendant of an officer who fought for the Stuart cause when James 11. was a pensioner on the bounty of Louis XIV. But Ireland is not the only country which is likely to go by the rule of contraries, and espouse the side which England opposes. A remarkable letter in to-day's Daily Telegraph from an American, warns us that if we get involved in the war, the United States will take the opposite side, and so force a settlement of the Alabama claims. That the danger of complications exists is, unfortunately, only too plain, and there is the utmost anxiety with regard to the attitude of Denmark, and still more as to the position of Belgium. The infringement of the neutrality of that country would infallibly drag us into the war embroglio, however unwillingly. The recall of Mr. Motley has excited some amount of indignation among his friends, by reason of the very uncourteous oonduct which has been shewn him by Pre sident Grant. For about a fortnight after the announce ment of his recall appeared in your columns, Mr. Motley knew nothing at all about it. He was left to learn his fate through a Central Press telegram. There is, probably, no other country but the United States which would thus have treated a man who not only held one of the highest diplomatic positions, but was also an illustrious scholar. Setting aside the personal affront to Mr. Motley, there is probably no reason to regret his recall. It is understood that the step has been taken because of his decided anti- English views, which have prevented him from making any progress in the settlement of the Alabama question.. Lord Clarendon positively declined to hold further com munication with him on the subject, so little disposition did the representative of the United States shew to put the matter on a practicable basis. Very little is known here of his successor, but it is supposed that he will be in structed to show more cordiality. But 'tie hard work pleasing the Americans. Mr. Reverdy Johnson was re called because he was too friendly with us. Mr. Motley is recalled because he is not friendly enough. Let us hope that Mr. Freylinghuysen will be the happy man. It is just possible, however, that the war may alter the position, and the prospect of doing a good trade in Ala bamas may induce the United States to postpone the settlement of this long standing dispute. Qf course the war is greatly interfering with the Conti nental tourist traffic. English families who were residing in Germany in 1866, and involuntarily assisted at the military operations in Kissingen, Dresden, and other places where Englishmen resort have come back to their native land, not caring to have a second experience of the same kind. On the other hand, a large number of adven turous tourists are hastening abroad while the road is open, and the Foreign-office has during the last few days been besieged by applicants for passports. Among them is no less a person than Dr. Forbes Winslow ; and as Mr. Sala, in his letter from Paris in to-day's Daily Telegraph says " We (the Parisians) are all stark mad," there will be plenty of work for our illustrious mad doctor. At the present time it is easy enough still to get into Switzer land, either by the Geneva or the Neuchatel route. But ow about coming back ? If by chance the Prussians should march upon Paris, tourists would find themselves in a fix. Some hopeful journalists have been giving out that Parliament will rise about the 10th. I confess I think my brethren of the pen are too sanguine. The introduc tion of another first-class measure—the new Neutrality Bill—rendered absolutely necessary by the war, will cer tainly prolong the session by a fortnight. " Historicus" will have whole columns to say upon his pet subject ; and the law lords will be certain to chew their litigious spirit by tearing the Ministerial measure to pieces. Then there will be the debate on the foreign policy of the Government with respect to media tion ; a topic which Mr. Horsman will trot out at length. In truth, the Conservatives are sanguine that they will find something in the promised papers which will seriously damage Lord Granville. Failing that, they prophesy that as no Liberal Government ever did or could manage a war, and as England's neutrality cannot possibly be long maintained, the present Ministry will be out of office before very long. Meanwhile Lord Redesdale is going to make a strong protest about the Education Dill. He will complain bitterly that a measure of such importance should be sent to the Upper House the last week in July. But it is scarcely likely the Conservative Peers will support Lord Redesdale in his protest. They are only too anxious to get this question settled, so as to deprive the Secularists of the power of agitation which they would have, and would exercise during the recess, were the bill not passed. The result of the Permissive Bill division is most cheer ing. Including pairs and tellers, 115 members supported and 146 opposed the bill, an adverse majority of only 31. It was almost impossible to obtain pairs against the bill. For instance, even Mr. Kennaway, though he spoke against the bill, would not either vote or pair against it, nor would that veteran advocate of the publicans, Mr. Wykeham Martin. If it had not been for the war complication the oppo nents of the Contagious Diseases Act intended to have continued the debate de die in diem until they had forced the House of Commons to take away from any individual member the power of excluding the reporters. But the Continental position is too critical, and they have aban doned the attempt. Several M. P.'s took notes yesterday afternoon, and though Mr. Craufurd endeavoured to stop them the Speaker ruled that they had a perfect right to do so. The Times is putting its house in order, and hopes as soon as Lord Hartington's very handsome present to that particular journal falls in to largely increase its sale. It means - to supply country subscribers direct - instead of through the news-agent as at present, and to that end is erecting folding machines. This is rather a serious matter for the newsvendors. One of them alone, Mr. W. H. Smith, M.P. for Westminster, takes 30,000 copies every morning. It has been decided to entrust to Mr. Matthew Noble the execution of the Derby memorial. There is, I regret to say, but little doubt that the memorial fund has proved a failure. From the first the absence of many distin guished Conservative noblemen from the list of contribu tors excited surprise, and the subscription list has lan guished throughout. This is to be regretted, for a man of Lord Derby's historical position deserved a good statue. THE condregation of St. Mary Magdalene's Church, Paddington, the most successful High Church in London are keeping high festival to-day. The special preachers are Father Grafton (who is shortly going to America to conduct a mission), the Rev. T. Yard, and the Rev. Canon Bright, who succeeded Dean Mansel as Professor of Ecclesiastical History. The offer tories for the half-year have amounted to no less a sum than £5,205. Of this amount £1,700 was given by one lady towards the building of an additional aisle, which is now being erected. The organ is probably the finest in any English church, and it is played by Mr. Redhead, the well-known composer. The doctrine is somewhat " advanced," and last Sunday the service in Henry the Seventh's Chapel, which has caused so much scandal to extreme High Churchmen, was denounced from the pulpit of St. Mary Magdalene's in very fervid language as " sacrilege." This is rather a strong word seeing that the bishops have re fused to condemn Dean Stanley In the evening I went to Westminster Abbey in order to hear the Bishop of Exeter's sermon at the special nave service. I must confess that it fell rather fiat. It was for the most part a repetition of the idea which Dr. Temple has set forth on many other occasions—the supremacy of con cience. But the bishop is not and never will be an orators and his strong provincial accent does not tend to make his sermons more impressive. The chief feature of the service was Dean Stanley's reading of the first lesson. It is impossible to describe the intense gusto with which he gave the story of the stripling David pree vailing over " this Philistine with a sling and a stone." His whole heart seemed to go with David. He, the dean himself, a man of little stature, seemed to be slaying in imagination the modern Philistines in Goethe's and Mr. Matthew Arnold's sense of the word. From the Abbey a large proportion of the congregation betook themselves to the Embankment, which was thronged to excess, and is now become the great place of resort for Londoners taking their promenade, especially in days of torrid heat, like to-day, when the thermometer before sunrise was 66, and at nine o'clock was 75 in the shade. The papers have contained a too brief notice of Mr. Murdo Young. He deserved fuller mention. He was a Free-trader long before the League, and used to support in the Sun Mr. Villiers's annual motion at a time when Whig journals laughed at Free Trade as a ridiculous crotchet. Lie was a particularly far-seeing man. At the time that Napoleon returned to France he predicted con fidently that he would never rest until he became Emperor. Mr. Young, though then 80 years old, pre dicted the present war some months ago. lie was never a party man, and was held in high respect by both parties but got reward from neither. The chief item of literary news is the appearance of another severe Conservative criticism on " Lothair," this time ix the Quarterly Review. I believe that the author of it is Mr. Hayward, a well-known Quarterly reviewer. Mr. Bentley's forthcoming volume, "The Recovery of Jerusalem," written by Captain Warren and Captain Wilson, the explorers, and having a prefaco by Dean Stanley is anticipated with much interest. Mr. Deutsch, from whom Dr. Pusey withheld the Oxford D.C.L. at the last Commemoration, contributes a chapter to the work, and it will have forty illustrations. Dean Stanley's " Essays, chiefly on questions in Church and State," is a most fascinating book, although, as I inti mated before the appearance of the book, it consists of articles which have already appeared in the Edinburgh Review and other journals. The chief value of the book is the lesson which it teaches as to the brief existence of religious controversies, and their small permanent influence on the thought of the age, however fiercely they may have been waged at the time. The Earl of Crawford has a volume ready, entitled " CEcu menicity in Relation to the Church of England," which will certainly take a very different line from that taken by his brother, the Hon. Colin Lindsay, formerly presi dent of the English Church Union, who lately seceded to Rome. The literary essays of the late Dean Milman contributed to the quarterlies are about to be republished by. Mr. Murray. Lady Belcher, wife of the arctic explorer, has in the press a history of the mutineers of " the Bounty," ald their descendants in Pitcairn and Norfolk Island, down to the present time. Lieutenant-Colonel Cunningham is bringing out a new edition of Peter Cunningham's " London," and a cheap issue of the present work will appear immediately. Mrs. Bray, author of " The Good St. Louis," has in the press "The Revolt of the Protestants in the Cevennes." Mr. John Murray is preparing, at the com mand of the Queen, an illustrated volume on the subject of the Albert Memorial. Its chief features will be a series of drawings, by Mr. Henry Holl, of the various groups and figures which compose the Memorial, as well as large views giving a general idea of the whole from various points. The descriptive letterpress of this volume will be from the pen of Mr. Doyne Bell, who is, I believe, engaged in the library at Buckingham Palace. The same publisher is preparing a narrative memoir on Byron matters, by the late Lord Broughton, edited by his daughter, the Hon. Mrs. Carleton. The - memoir will not refer in any way to the Byron scandal, but chiefly to the destruction of the Byron MSS., of which Lord Broughton was a witness. Mr. Tinsley is republishing (with additions) Mr. W. Gilbert's story, " The Struggle in Ferrara," which has been coming out in the Sunday Magazine. Mr. Gilbert some years ago contemplated vgriting . the life of R4n4e, Duchess of Ferrara ; but hearing that M. Jules Bonnet, author of the charming " Vie d'Olympia Morata," was engaged on the same subject, he wrote to M. Bonnet to say that he (Mr. Gilbert) would leave the field to him so far as a biography was concerned. He however used his materials in a tale. Unfortunately M. Bonnet has not fulfilled his promise, made now more than twelve years ago. Mr. Henry Blackburn, author of charming books on Spain and Brittany, is publishing an elaborate illustrated work on the Ammergau Miracle Play. Miss Yonge, the editress of the Monthly Packet, and authoress of " The Heir of Redcliffe," has in the press " Musings on the Christian Year," The new volume of Macmillan's " Sunday Library " is the life of St. Anselm. I am authorised to contradict the report which first ppeared in a north-country paper that Lord Lytton is writing a new novel for Messrs. Blackwood.

Contrary to expectation there was next to nothing doing, and it was evident that the weights for the Stewards and Chesterfield Cups hag to undergo a pro cess of "di,gestion" before active operations were com menced.

J A bold but unsuccessful attempt was made by a Belgian list-keeper to make profit out of the hostilities between France and Prussia. On the arrival of the news that war had been declared, an announcement appeared in the windows of the office De Sport Gallerie du Roi to the effect that by the desire of several influential sports men a list would be opened on the result of the first great battle in the Franco-Prussian war ; the lowest stake 1 franc. Unforttmately for the speculator, the notice ex cited general indignation, and after an hour or two was withdrawn by order of the police. The absence of Scottish characters is a noticeable feature in the works of Charles Dickens. No novelist of the present day has abstained so regularly from sketching Scottish men and women. The Northern Doily Exin'ess, in an article on the delay in the Government telegraphs, gives the following illustration of how the wires are worked :—A telegram giving the sentence of Cunningham, the Sunderland forger, was sent by our reporter from Durham on Satur day,.to be in time for the first issue of our evening edition; but it was not delivered until about two hours after he had got to Newcastle, although he did not leave Durham until half an hour after he despatched the message !
