"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. Fm
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 iu 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 t eve 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 remembrascer."

"'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 'lack 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 styl , and is well 'got up."'—

" 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.

of genial gossip, and supply just what the excursionist wants--
reliable information."—Western Daily Press.

PROFITABLE BUSINESS.

A case which has been tried at the Middlesex
Sessions is peculiarly calculated to exercise the mind
of those anxious fox social regeneration. It emi-
`nently illustrates the profitableness of vice, and the
defective state of our legislation, not in enactments,
but in regard to the machinery for carrying
the law into effect. For a' number of years
two women, the agents and representatives of
an alien, have in defiance of the law, and evidently
with the knowledge of the police, carried on a profit-
able trade in—women. So lucrative has the abomi-
nable avocation of these persons been that when they
were ordered to pay a fine of £5O, with the alterna-
tive of imprisonment, they were " evidently
astonished and delighted at the result,"
anal handed to their solicitor a £lOO note.
These creatures. or their employer, had been instru-
mental in decoying girls from Belgium during a num-
ber of years, for what purpose it is needless to state.
It is a pity the career of the two women should have
been allowed to go on in uninterrupted prosperity.
An acquaintance with the inside of a prison would
have had a beneficial effect. There is some satisfac-
tion, however, that the vicious establishment has
been broken up.

THE LOSS OF THE CAPTAIN.

Everyone will hail with pleasure the intelligence
that the Government has decided to give the widows
of the seamen drowned in the Captain one year's
pay. Whilst the Government thus fulfils its obli-
gations, the country is not inactive, and committees
are being formed with the view of collecting
funds for' the relief of those who may be
sufferers by the foundering of the mat ship. It is
a noble characteristic of the British nation that
whenever any dreadful calamity colurs, involving
great domestic suffering, the natiOilal:-sympathy is
excited and finds its expression in cle4sOf generosity.
The loss of the Captain is justly deemed
a national loss, and the people of the country, not
c:mtenting themselves with mere expressions of
sympathy, are striving to do what is possible to lessen
the degree of suffering which the event has occa-
sioned. There is every reason to believe that the
funds which are being raised will, in the aggregate,
suffice to place the families of the men who have
been drowned beyond want.

INCAPACITY OF THE LATE GOVERN

MENT.

Countless stories are told of the incompetence and igno-
rance of the late Government by the French papers. The
following is given as authentic :—When it became evident
that the Prussian army was on the road to Paris,
a foreign speculator, who said he had special opportunitie
for provisioning the capital, obtained an interview
with General Palikao. He undertook to place at the.
Minister's disposal within eight days a large supply o
potatoes which (thanks to his individual connections) he
could obtain from the forts of Antwerp and Rotterdam.
The Minister received this proposal with eagerness,
and it was immediately arranged that the
potatoes should be delivered at the store houses
of Dunkirk at a price forty per cent. above
market value for cost of shipment and other ex-
penses. The engagement was scrupulously fulfilled, and
General Palikao then asked if the agent could not supply
him with a large quantity of rice. The contractor, after
some reflection, agreed, stipulating that this time Havre
should be the place of delivery, which was agreed to.
The speculator had the satisfaction of pocketing the sum
of 230,000 f. as his clear profit in these two transactions, M.
de Palikao being all the while happily unconscious
that he could have bought the rice and potatoes at Havre
and Dunkirk themselves, without troubling Antwerp and
Rotterdam.

The working men's meetings in London in fa,voar of
peace without cession of ground by Prance, have produced
an excellent impression in Paris. Mr. Beales is an especial
favourite.

At Newca4le the intelligence that the French blockad-
ing- squadron had left the mouth of the Elbe has caused
a considerable amount of inquiry on the quay-side, in
view of a prospect of the resumption of trade with
Hamburg.
London, England, 1870-09-19

THE DITTY OF GERMANY.

The Spectator considers that in opposing herself to the
most intimate popular conviction of modern Europe, that
peoples are not transferred from one power to another
merely for the sake of strengthening a military frontier
already superfluously strong, Germany would be challenging
a host of quarrels, both external and internal, of which
she will not soon hear the end, and breaking defini-
tively with democratic ideas. She would seriously
alarm Europe for the sobriety of a power which
seems well-nigh irrisistible, destroy her moral
influence with the more democratic States, not
improbably do something towards throwing Bel-
gium into the arms of France, and mine the ground
under the feet of her own Liberals. She would lose all
the moral grandeur of her present position, sow the seeds
of wars that would be anxiously watched for from the
very day of the signature of peace, and divert the course
of her own development and civilizafion from the pacific
into the military channel. Ambition grows by what it
eeds on, and tre conquest of Alsace and Lorraine would,
in all probability, excite the thirst for other annexations.
Finally, as regards the immediate present, there
seems some fear that the vile hardness of heart which
war always causes, is already beginning to stimulate
the mild and just German armies into acts as shameful,
if not as treacherous, as that blowing-up of the
citadel of Laon `so bitterly and justly resented
by the German Press. In connection with the battles
before Sedan, we have now the full reports of impartial
English correspondents, both upon the burning of the
wretched French inhabitants of Bazeilles, and on the
treatment of the capitulating army for many days after
the capitulation. It is quite certain that a prolonged war
will rob the Germans of all the bloom of their humanity,
and reduce them to the brutaler level of professional
armies. If they wish to avoid this, and far worse evils of
all kinds as well, they will remember that the magna-
nimity of the victor is greater than victory itself, and
not refuse to listen to the proposals which would save
Paris,

TUB EXPORT OF ARMS.

On Saturday we (Daily News) published two state-
ments which may be usefully examinectin contrast with
each other. The first was a list of subscriptions
from persons in every part of the country to
the funds of the National Society for Aid to

the Sick and Wounded in War. The second was a list
of arms and ammunition which we have reason to be-
lieve have been recently exported, or are now in course
of preparation for export, to one of the belligerents by
certain manufacturers in London, Birmingham, and
Sheffield. The pounds, shillings, and pence, the linen
Sharpie and lint of the former, read curiously enough by
the side of the Chassepots, Sniders, and Martini-Henrys,
the needle-guns, the Remington revolvers, and the can.
tridges of the latter. In combination they afford a striking
illustration of the strange union of public generosity
with private greed which constitutes the leading peculi-
arity of our character as a nation. It is not improbable
that several of the names which occur in the one would
be found on inquiry to be entered on the other list. It is
quite possible that the bane and the antidote may at this
moment be proceeding from the same source, that a portion
of the profits reaped by the dealers in implements of
lestruction•may be applied to the reparation of the mis-
31iief they may produce, and that the very hand which
has supplied the bullet may furnish the bandage for the
wound it may. create. These amiable inconsistencies in
human nature form an interesting subject for contemplai
lion to the philosopher. But they are apt to
regarded with far less composure by people
who are practically affected by their development. Wu
3annot be surprised if the Germans in particular should
thew some disposition to regard our ostentatious display
A sympathy for their maimed and mutilated soldiers, at
all events, as so much hypocrisy and imposture, while at
the same time we are systematically arming their
memies with the means of maiming and mutilatftig them.

As at present arranged the naval court-martial concern-
ing the loss of the Captain will be opened at Portsmouth
to-morrow. Probably all the squadron will at once repair
to Portsmouth on this account ; but it is possible that
some of the ships may be kept at Portland, their captains
being summoned to Portsmouth to constitute the court.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-SERIOUS ACCIDENT

TO A FIRE BRIGADE.

Yesterday morning about one o'clock a serious fire broke
out in Messrs. John Gordon and Co.'s warehouse, Trades-
lane, Dundee. The warehouse was stored with flax
codilla, tow, and jute, the total quantity being about
1,500 fens. The cause of the fire is unknown. The mate-
rial was almost totally consumed, and the building was
destroyed. The loss is estimated at about forty thousand
pounds. It will be met by insurance. While the fire was
raging a fearful accident happened. Captain Fyffe,
of the Fire Brigade, Sergeant Watson, of the police, and
several others who were.engaged in endeavouring to subdue
the fire, had the misfortune to be buried under a portion
of the wall of the building which gave way, and Captain
Fyffe, Sergeant Watson, Robert Jenkins, and John Clark
were killed. Inspector Rennie and above a dozen others
were seriously injured. The accident has created great
excitement in the town.

BESIEGED CITIES AND CARRIER PIGEONS.

Nothing would be of easier accomplishment, we
are told by the Field, than the daily transmission of
intelligence from besieged cities by the aid of carrier
pigeons. If this be so, the French generals have
made one other great error in not providing them-
selves with a supply of the birds, for it is recorde 1
that one set of commanding:officers were in such
straits that 220,000 was offered to any-
one who would convey a message to Marshal
Bazaine and return with his reply. If the means of
sending communications by pigeons are too simple
for strategists, it may be possible that for humble
civilians they might be made use of with advantage.
What benefit, for instance, might not accrue if Lon-
&iers having friends in Paris, in spite of the most
rigorous investment; should be able to learn the latest
possible news of their circumstances and of the
condition of the city through the instrumentality of
birds ? The Field declares that even if months were
to elapse before the pigeons were required, they
would, on regaining their liberty, at once betake
themselves to their old abodes. The mode of commu-
nication by pigeons, though as old as Solomon,' has
never been extensively made a practice. In these
,days when the chief object of an enemy besieging a
city is to despoil it of every possible means of having
intercourse with, or help from, external sources, it
might prove that resorting to one of our ancestor
remedial experiments would lead to the highest .
possible good, in respect to' people locked within
walls on every side by a dangerous enemy.

SPAIN.

Three centuries since "Spain was a country full
of all earthly felicities. It was renowned for the
corn of its,-Plains, for the wine and oil of its moun-
tains, and for the milk and butter of its pastures."
Dr. Wylie, who recently made a tour in the country
best known in these days as the land of tyrants, ban-
dits, conspirators, and treacherous Hidalgos, is respon-
sible for the assertion as respects the old promises of the
peninsula. He speaks differently of Spain as it
is now. " The beauty of former days is gone, and
the land is positively ugly. Its plains no longer wave
with corn ; its mountains no longer flow with wine,
nor its pastures with milk. It is a ruin,
and a ruin so vast that it confounds, nay terrifies,
the stranger." The allegations of Dr. Wylie may be
open to just criticism, for statistical facts prove that
the production of cereals has actually increased
since the French invasion, although the bad sys-
tems of irrigation are allowed to retard the progress
agriculture might be making. The Northern Railway,
passing through the least valuable lands of Spain, has
been instrumental, moreover, in causing the fertility
that belongs to certain territories to be made the
fullest use of. Nevertheless, there must be much
truth in his view of the country after its late disas-
trous troubles, and during the-disaffection among its
people. It is quite certain that the pros-
pects of Spain have within the past two years
received a terrible check.

THE SIEGE OF PARIS.

Writing, from Paris on the 16th inst., the correspondent
of the St? udard says :—" The news which I sent you last
night by letter and telegram is fully confirmed. The
Prussians are 'within sight of Paris, and the
train which takes away this letter and myself will
in all probability be the last, or the last but one, that
leaves the city. Last night the monotony of expectation
was relieved by a good deal of excitement. General
Vinoy, with a large force of artillery and infantry, moved
from Neuilly (west of Paris) in the direction of the east,
and the passage of the troops down the Rue Rivoli and
the Faubourg St. Antoine gave rise to an impression that
an action was about to be fought on the banks
of the Marne. Later in the evening there was an alert
on the boulevards. A bugler of the Garde Mobile, who
happened to be bellicose in his cups, amused himself at
about half-past nine, p.m. by sounding the assembly ; as a
matter of course, all the drums and bugles within earshot
took up the signal; the Mobiles and Sedentary National
Guards hurried to their different rendezvous; crowds hurried
to and fro wondering what the matter was, and it was a long
time before the agitation subsided. The feeling of uneasi-
ness which it is natural the enemy's approach must create
was not undiminished by the official announcements pub-
lished this morning that the Prussians had captured one
train on the Northern Line at Senis, and fired into
another near Chantilly. The circle which is to seclude
Paris frot the rest of the world is evidently being rapidly
completed, and before twenty-four hours are over Paris
will have been placed in quarantine, and no
means of transmitting tidings of what may be
going on inside will be procurable. Meanwhile
the town is fast filling with those of the inhabi-
tants of the outlying suburbs whe had been
hoping against hope that they would not be molested.
The population of Sevres, St. Cloud, Neuilly, and As-
nieres are all coming in, and the national guard of these
localities, mostly shopkeepers, are billetted upon
resident Parisians. Two of these citizen soldiers
have been quartered on -me for an indefinite time, and I

am bound to find them a room and sleeping accom•

modation, either in my house or out of it, one of the unplea-
sant necessities of war which it is impossible to escape. There
is hut one course, to submit cheerfully, and request the
citoyens who are thus forced on your hospitality to make them-
selves at home, and trust to their good feeling to do as
little damage as possible. The country Mobiles are the
most desirable of these unwelcome guests. The two
oitoyens who honour me with their Rresence are small
shopkeepers from Neuilly, red hot ' Democrats,
and" very anxious to assert their superiority.
They were not pleased with their beds,
and intimated that "feather beds were what they were
accustomed to." They also made an attempt—an abortive
attempt—to be supplied with breakfast, but as I stead-
fastly demurred to this they shouldered their muskets and
went off to tne nearest wine-shop, muttering that I was no
patriot, and had not a Republican Km].

dry, and people went in all directions to procure water.
In order to pa:ss theorltad to climb over the wounded and
the dead, it was a hoijible spectacle. The demoralisation
was complete. The French soldiers broke into the store-
houses to get at the barrels of beer, and broke open cases
of powder, believing them to contain biscuits. Presently
the accountants came up to pay the army before the
arrival of the Prussians. We saw spread out before us
some enormous pieces of gold.. During this time the rain
fell in torrents, and increased the general disorder."

time the pursuit was confined to those who gained
their livelihood by it. It may be interesting to note
moreover that eight-oared rowing was in vogue at
Oxford some time before it was introduced into Cam-
bridge, where the first boat, belonging to. St. John's
College, was launched in 1826, and that it
was between this year and 1829 that the
Cambridge Boat Club was formed. In Ireland
the first eight-oared boa; was launched only last
year. It was on June 10, 1829; that the first boat-
ing contest between the English University clubs
took place. The rendezvous, as at present was on
the Thames, but the course was fixed between

and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and
faithful addresses have been given.
During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly

metropolis.
The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have
been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many
fallen ones. _ . . _

LYCEUM THEATRE.

—- - -
'On Saturday evening this theatre was reopened under
the management of Mr. E. Falconer ; the novelty produced
being a new Irish melodrama, entitled " Innesfallen, or
the Men in the Gap," from the pen of the manager.
The principal characters were supported by Mr. S.
Emery, Mr. Nelson, Mr. E. Falconer, Miss
Ernstone, and Miss i'atti Josephs, but, doubtless, owing
to the hurry in which the piece had been brought
forward the success was not as great as it might have been.
With judicious curtailment, and the removal of two or
three incidents that it was plain did not please the public
on Saturday evening, the drama may be made attractive,
but it certainly will not turn out another " Peep o' Day."
Mr. Falconer's reception was particularly enthusiastic,
and it seemed to be the desire of all present to assist Mr.
Falconer in securing success. The scenery and entire
mounting of the piece was extremely beautiful, and we
have faith enough in it to believe that ,it will, after the
necessary alterations have been made,' become highly
attractive. Mr. Falconer has our best wishes for perfect
success in his venture.

POLICE IN lELLIGENCE. -THIS DAY.

EXTENSIVE PLATE ROBBERY.—George Webber, 30, late
under Sir Edmund St. Aubyn, of 84, Eaton Place, was
brought up at Westminster Police-court, charged with
stealing 300 ounces of plate, value £BO, the goods of his
master, in his dwelling house. A man named Wilton
Barratt was charged at this court about three month-4 ago
with feloniously receiving the plate, which he pledged at
Messrs. Vincent and Balls, pawnbrokers, at Brompton.
He was tried at the sessions and sentenced to 12 months
hard labour, and stated that the prisoner Webber had
given them to him to dispose of. Thomas Cheshire,
servant to Sir Edmund, said on the 27th of July he
counted the plate and found it short. The prisoner was
then in the service, and witness made certain, before
charging him, by sending to Devon Port, where Sir
Edmund banks ; they were not there, and the police
being communicated with, apprehended Barratt, who
made a statement when apprehended. On prisoner were
found two shirts, one belonging to witness and one to
Sir Edmund's son. William Taylor, a detective, proved
apprehending prisoner on Satarday at Victoria station. On
him and found a portmanteau and hat case belonging to
Prince Achille Murat ; he made no answer to the charge,
but asked if witness had a warrant, and then went to the
station quietly. Mr. Dayman advised the prisoner to
say nothing now until he heard all the evidence against
him, as the other prisoner would be brought up to give
his version of the matter on a future day. He was
accordingly remanded till Monday.
BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A FEMALE--John Lynch, a rough-
looking young man, was charged at the Marlborough-
street Police-court with assaulting Mary Rose, a young
woman living in Peter-street, St. James's. Mr. Wm.
Moore, of the Associate Institute for Enforcing the Law
for the Protection of Women, watched the case. The
complainant, who had a black eye and a cut on the
temple, said that on Saturday night, while in Windmill-
street the prisoner insulted her and then struck her several
times with a stick till she was nearly insensible. The
prisoner said the complainant was always following him
about and annoying him, and he did not want her to do
so. Mr. Knox said that under no circumstances had the,
Prisoner a right to strike the complainant. It was a case
..of excessive violence, and the prisoner would be com-
mitted for a month with hard labour.

11RUSSIA REFUSES TO TREAT

WITH THE REPUBLIC.

SARREBRUCK, SUNDAY

The King of Prussia has absolutely refused to
treat with a Republican Government, as the general
Public feeling outside of Paris is against a Repub-
lican form of govprnment. It is maintained that
the peace contracted with such a government would
Sot be considered valid by the French educated
Classes, who in Rheims and the surrounding country
131 Pas their stars that the German soldiers are present
to restrain the pillaging propensities of the working

The town of Epernay had to pay 200,000 francs
for allowing the field telegraph to be destroyed.

BERLIN, SEPT, 19, 9.25 A.M

In still regarding Napoleon as Emperor, Prussia
has no other object than to inform the various
Political parties and Royal candidates in France that
he Will recognize that Government which accepts
her terms of peace. The Republic, ignoring her
terms, Prussia, in return, ignores for the present the
Republic. The absurd idea that Prussia will only
treat with the Regency was never entertained here,
and is expressly contradicted by the semi-official
IVorddeutsehe Zeitung, which declares that Prussia
Will treat with whatever French Government may
accept her terms, and which is sufficiently stable to
ensure a treaty of peace being conscientiously car-
ried out.—Times.

PLOT TO RE-CAPTURE SEDAN.
The Manchester Examiner publishes the following
telegram:—

NAMUR, SUNDAY, 12 (NooN).

A plot has been discovered here amongst the French
Population against the Prussian authorities, having for
its object the seizure of the French guns and mitrail-
leuses captured on the Ist September at Sedan, and not
Yet forwarded to Prussia. The town is declared in a
State of siege. The gates are closed, and a search has been
made, resulting in the discovery of 2000 stand of arms.
Reports of an equally serious nature are arriving from
Other towns and from the country, where it is said
the peasants are rising and arming themselvrs.

The Manchester Examiner's correspondent at
Rouen telegraphs, "on good authority," that " a
corps of 10,000 French prisoners have succeeded in
Waking their escape, and are now marching towards
Rouen:"
