RUMOURED CAPTURE 01? PRINCE

COLLIER SCREW STEAMELIS FIRED AT.
The screw collier steamer Tyne, belonging to the
Shields Steam Shipping Company, arrived in the Tyne,
reports that it and the screw steamer Southwick, of
Sunderland, had been fired at by a French ironclad
off Heligoland, on Sunday. The Tyne left Hamburg
with sheep, and on Monday, when between Cux-
haven and Heligoland, sighted an ironclad with-
out colours. The Tyne had ensign flying at the mizen
masthead. A shot was fired across the bows of the Tyne,
followed by three others in rapid succession, one of which
aimed amidships fell short. The Tyne immediately
steamed towards the ironclad for information, but the
ironclad steered off towards the steamer Southwick,
which was some distance off, and fired two shots
across her bows. Having done so, the ironclad
steamed off in the direction of Cuxhaven, leav-
ing the Tyne and Southwick to continue their
voyage home Wards, and to wonder at such an extraordi-
proceeding. Another report states that at the time the
shots were fired the Tyne had no colours flying, and as
soon as they were hoisted the, firing ceased. The news
caused considerable exitement among the owners of screw
steamers and those interested in shipping. The screw
steamer Tyne, however, sailed last night :for Hamburgh

again.

JOHNSTONE'S WAR MAP OF THE RHINE FRON-
TIERS is exactly the thing we have all been wanting.
Folded, it can be carried easily in the pocket. Opened,
it displays clearly, boldly, and distinctly, on a scale of
nearly 70 English statute miles to the degree, the whole
of those portions of the Rhine frontiers on either side of
which the gigantic forces of France and Prussia are now
rapidly mustering, and where the struggle will be imme-
diately commenced. The names of places are so clearly
indicated that they can be most readily distinguished.
Clever and all sufficient as this map is, it is no more than
sixpence coloured.
