Now published, "FJORD, ISLE, AND TOR." • A ROOK FOR TOURISTS IN NOR WAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL, AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS. BY EDWARD SPENDER PRIG 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. Fos 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, bfit 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 l• ave 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." —Suu " 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 besidg 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 'hack Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is 11 of matter interesting equally to the tourist and the ordinary reader. It is written in an easy and pleasant styl , and is well got up."'— Eastern Morning News. We cannot part with this fascinating little 'Work without con gratulating Mr. Spender upon it. Addressed, as it more especially is, to travellers in Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, it is, nevertheless, a book that will afford the keenest gratifica 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.

MEAN FELLOW.—John Sheppard, a labouring man, was brought up at the Marlborough Street Police-court, before Mr. Knox, charged with being drunk and dis orderly, and damaging a blacking box belonging to John Beasley, No. 49, Shoe-black Brigade. Police-constable 170 E stated that on the previous afternoon he was in Tottenham Court Road, when, seeing a crowd of persons, he went up to ascertain the cause, and found that the prisoner had broken a shoeblack's box and refused to pay for it ; and as he was drunk and disorderly he took him into custody. John Beasley, a sharp little fellow, said the prisoner came up to him, and told him that if he gave him a good polish he would give him 2d. After he had done so the prisoner stamped on his box and broke it, and would not pay him either for blacking his boots or or for the damage done to the box. Mr. Knox said it was disgraceful for a man to cheat a little boy like the com plainant, and he should fine him 40s. or a month. Mr. Knox ordered the complainant to receive 2s. 6d. from the poor-box, to recompense him for the damage done to his boi, for which helhanked the magistrate. THE NATIONAL BANK. —ln the chambers of Vice- Chancellor Bacon, the suits of "Parker v. Sir Joseph M`Kenna " and " Parker v. Mr. Harvey Lewis, M.P." were brought before Mr. Bloxam, Chief Clerk. The plaintiff is the nominal representative of the National Bank ; the first action is instituted on their behalf to compel the restitution by the expelled director, of the profits alleged to have been made by him and some of his colleagues out of certain dealings and loans in connection with the issue of the new share capital ; and, second, for the restitution of the losses of £50,000 and upwards, incurred by the bank from certain alleged breaches of trust in the matter of Charles Lafitte and Co. (Limited). A similar application was made in both instances, it being on behalf of the defendants for an en largement of the time for filing affidavits of documents, on the ground that the period previously allowed them was entirely inadequate for the• purpose, having regard to the serious nature of the issue.. The. Chief Clerk ex.- ' tended the time until the sth of November next. currencies. The discount market has been well supplied with capital. There has been only a moderate demand for accommodation, and three months' paper has been taken at 24 to 2i per cent. Messrs. Pixley, Abell, Langley, and Blake, thus report on the state of the bullion market :—Of gold the arrivals during the week have been comparatively small, but as there is not the slightest demand for abroad, all amounts go to the Bank, and about £493,000 has been sent in since the 15th ir.st. At a meeting yesterday of Bolckow, Vaughan, and Co. (Limited), at Middlesborough, the directors resolved that an interim dividend of 5 per cent. for the past half-year, equal to £1 10s. per share, or 10 per cent. per annum, Amid be paid on the 3rd of October. The directors of the Great Western Railway of Canada propose to recommend (subject to the auditors' examina tions) a dividend on the ordinary shares for the half-year ended the 31st of July, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum free of income tax, which, after providing for dividend on the preference stock and placing £2,000 to the credit of ferry steamers renewal account, will leave £3,300 to be carried forward. The Mauritius Land Credit and Agency Company, Limited, has just issued it seventh annual report, which congratulates the proprietors upon the continued success of the company. The accounts annexed show a net profit of £7,016 ; and the directors propose, after carrying £2,000 to reserve, to pay a dividend of 2s. per stare, equal to 5 per cent., for the half-year ended 30th June last.

There was a somewhat limited supply of new English wheat, the condition of which was good, while the arrivals from abroad were rather extensive.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, FRIDAY. —The market was decidedly tamer to-day, and producers found it impossbile to effect sales without submitting to a concession on Tuesday's rates, and even buyers operate very sparingly, as there is little inducement for shippers, at least to give out fresh con tracts at present rates, in the hope of securing a profit on their realisation. The atrocities Committed on Europeans in China may seriously interfere with trade in that quarter for some time to come, and it is noticed that the ship ments this year to the East Indies are In excess of those of the corresponding period of last year. Hence these markets must be well supplied with stocks. The large yield of last year's cotton crop in the United States, coupled with the favourable reports of the growing crop, have had the effect of making buyers very cautious in their operations, as the opinion gains ground that the present value of cotton is too high to be long maintained in the face of an abundant supply of the raw staple in prospect. The business done to-day was small and chiefly confined to the placing of orders for immediate wants. All the large buyers still keep aloof from the market. The tone at the close was rather weak and prices favoured buyers. SOUTH WALES IRON TRADE PEPORT, FRIDAY.—The accounts received from the principal ironworks and leading markets indicate that business is not so discouraging as a fort night back. Though a better tone prevails, scarcely any appre ciable increase in demand has taken place. There are no con tracts of magnitude in the market, and many makers do not care about booking heavily at present. Greatefforts are made to complete orders for the Baltic before the close of the season. The exports to the United States and the Colonies have notbeen large. Pigs remain without alteration. Moderate employment is afforded at the tin-plate works, but prices are still unremunerative compared with the quotations for the raw materials in the steam-coal trade. The position is about the same as last week. The increasing activity of a fortnight ago is scarcely maintained. There is more vitality in the house coal trade, and merchants are making their winter purchases. GLASGOW PIG IRON MARKET, FRIDAY.—This market was very strong to-day. Business was done up to 525. cash. Closing buyers.—Closing Report.—This market was firm to-day. Buyers, 525. ld. cash ; sellers, 525. lid.

Parry, an engineer, of Herne Church, Essex. There was another charge against hi m of obtaining securities to the value of £4,800 from two young ladies who decline to prosecute, but had been bound over to attend as witnesses. On the part of the prosecution it was alleged the prisoner purchased the stock in question, and sold them before the next account, never having, in fact, advanced any money on the purchase at all, or taken them up from the brokers, so that the representation in the agreement as to the advance of money was untrue. The deposited stock was as collateral security, and it was contended the prisoner had no right to dispose of it. Prisoner in defence said he was only a paid agent for Taylor at a salary of 2850 a year. He was committed for trial, bail being refused.
