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 expi • 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."

" Fjord, J sle, 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.

'• 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.

Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature; also a
description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of
Appearance, and Localities where found. Each moth is drawn from
nature by George Willis, and engraved in his best style by John
Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species and if varieties
require it, three, four, five, and even six figures are given The work
Is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at 6d. each. The work is
also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at Is. 6d. each part. Part X.
new ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had.

"We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and
publication of this magnificent work."—Field.
" Both to the beginner and the proficient M that study this work
will be invaluable."—Daily Telegraph.
"It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species,
and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages
over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth,
with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be
an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain
many rare specimens."—Standard.
"The completion of Mr. Newman' work on the British Moths is a
benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a
krgh authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste-
fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or
drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years'
earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento-
mologist deservedly stands high. . . We notice also with
satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly
scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English,
With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a
very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap-
ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour
to render them life-like. . . . . We unhesitatingly commend
this volume to our readers. We regard it as very useful addition to
our library." Land and Weiler, Oct. 9.

THE ESTATE OF THE LATE MARQUIS OF
HASTINGS.

In the Rolls Court yesterday Lord Romilly delivered
udgment in the cause of " Bubb v. Yelverton," which
was an adjourned summons from chambers to decide upon
a claim of £330 for damages, made by Mr. Rodney
Hastings, brother-in-law of the late Marquis of
Hastings, upon the estate of the deceased nobleman,
under peculiar circumstances. His lordship remarked
that in September, 1867, Mr. Rodney Hastings entered
into a contract with the late Marquis, by which he pur-
chased the reversion of the Dorrington estate, that was to
say that the Marquis should retain possession of the pro-
perty until his death, when Mr. Hastings was to enter
into possession, the agreement being one of impeachment
without waste. The marquis had previously, as
well as at that time, employed an eminent land-
scape gardener, Mr. Thomas, to consider what
timber it would be proper to cut down by
way of improving the estate ; and Mr. Thomas pointed
out various pieces of timber and trees which it would be
advisable to remove, none of which, with the exception of
a solitary ash tree, were visible from the mansion. In
the spring of 1868 the Marquis proceeded to cut down the
trees, and there was no pretence for saying that the plain-
tiff was unaware of this, notwithstanding which he did not
attempt to interfere by injunction, but in the following
August, when all the alterations had been effected, com-
pleted the contract. Three months afterwards the young
marquis unfortunately died, whereupon the brother-in-
law came in for the reversion, and claimed to be a creditor
of the estate in consequence of the removal of
the timber. The real question was whether any
damage had been actually sustained by the inheritance.
In his lordship's opinion the removal of the trees did no
damage whatever, but, on the contrary, effected an im-
provement; and the result was that the summons must
be dismissed with costs, the case not being a proper one to
bring before the court.

THE MASTER OF THE HORSE ON iHE
WAR.

In addressing a meeting at Marlborough on Saturday,
the Marquis of Ailesbury said—However much we may
regret the war that is now impending, I hope we shall
take an impartial and moderate view of everything that
occurs, and do our best to avoid being involved
in it ourselves, for it is .almost impossible to
look upon two neighbouring states in actual
warfare without taking one side or the other. For
my own part I am extremely in doubt which party
is most to blame, if any blame there is. In the
first instance, we are scarcely competent to judge
what the feelings of other countries are as to bounda-
ries. In this respect our own country is so accurately
defined by nature that we are not tempted to
appropriate neighbouring land. On the continent it
is far different. Our position is defined and unmis-
takeable, but it is not the case there. It will
strike any one who travels abroad as an extraordi-
nary fact that at the most a river or a few moun-
tains will separate two nations and two peoples who
talk different languages. Frequently a nation
speaking one language will be found this side the
river, and a different race the other. Considering there-
fore the warlike character of that most pugnacious animal
man, we could not be surprised if wars were even more
frequent. It is not for us to judge either, and say why
can't the people stay at home? but we ought to make
some allowance for a differeht situation to that we are
ourselves accustomed to.

Eton College was closed yesterday, the scholars
having left for the autumn vacation.

St. Paul's Cathedral, when restored, might well

HOME AND COLONIAL OFFICES.—Mr. G. G. Scott,
the architect of the new Home and Colonial Offices, has
received command to proceed with the work immediately.
The stoppage occurred by order of the First Commissioner.

EMIGRATION TO CANADA.—A large party of 350
emigrants left London Dock for Canada on Thursday, on
board the St. Leonards, a clipper ship belonging to John
Bonus and Son, of Cannon-street- The greater portion
of the number consisted of the last detachment sent out
by the Working Men's Emigration Association, which has
already sent out five large parties this year, making over
1,000 people,

Clearly the season is over though the session is not.
Fair shoppers no longer throng Regent-street : the Row is
no longer blocked with equipages. The Royal Academy and
other galleries close to-morrow. But there is an immense
amount of work still to be cleared off down atWestminster,
and happy will Mr. Denison and Mr. Dodson be if they
are released from their confinement in any time under
three weeks. But then all Londoners are not
politicians, and so, though the Irish Land Bill has not
yet passed its final ordeal; though the Education Bill
has still to get through committee in the Lords, and the
Foreign Enlistment Bill has scarcely accomplished any of
its stages in either House, heads of families who have
no prefix denoting membership of the Upper House, and
no suffix denoting membership of the Lower, are off to the
holiday grounds, if not of Europe, at least of Britain.
To tell the truth, there are also a good many noble lords
and M.P.'s who have done the same thing. This is
very evident if you go down to either House
now. In spite of wars and rumours of wars,
in spite of angry diplomatists and secret treaties,
it is but a comparatively small gathering of legislators that
me sees. Yesterday afternoon, for instance, it was
thought possible that Mr. Gladstone might make a state-
ment with regard to
.the alleged proposal of France to
gorge Belgium. Even if he said nothing, there were a
number of interesting questions with regard to the war,
which a fortnight ago would have drawn an overflowing
house. The galleries were full enough, and in the
Press Gallery there was not only the usual
array of reporters, but a goodly phalanx of " able
editors" come down special to get a text for their next
morning's sermon. But down on the floor of the House
the attendance was, to use the absurd jargon of the Stock
Exchange, " excessively moderate," and there was very
little excitement except at one moment when it was
thought that Mr. Gladstone was going to answer one of
the " war " questions put to the Treasury bench ; but
as he did not answer it, the excitement quickly subsided..
The Premier's reticence was, indeed, quite remarkable.
Question after question was asked about rights of
neutral., duties towards belligerents, contraband of war,
lawful prizes, exportation of arms, foreign enlistme/A,
and the like ; but Mr. Gladstone left the answers to his
colleagues and his subordinates—to Mr. Cardwell, Mr.
Otway, and chiefly to the Attorney-General. That he
was deeply interested in what went on was shewn by his
quickness to prompt the various Ministers, especially Sir
Robert Collier, who will now have an amount of work of
the most delicate character, that will be more trying than
welcome. Mr. Gladstone's abstinence from speech
was particularly marked when being asked by Mr. Ver-
non Harcourt what day the Foreign Enlistment Bill
would be brought in, he left the Attorney-General to
reply. It seemed as though he were resolved that by no
word of his would he add to the gravity of the present
crisis, and having taken that resolution as though he felt
the surest way to keep it was to be silent altogether ; to
turn total abstainer, in fact.
The House was in a serious mood, and not at all in-
clined for amusement. But Mr. Cavendish Bentinck
kindled a little animation by asking the Home Secretary if
certain pamphlets which certain ladies were sending to
M.P.'s with respect to a certain Act of Parliament did
not come under the provisions of Lord Campbell's Act.
'There was cheering at the question, and still more cheer-
ing at the answer. Mr. Bruce said that he had taken
legal advice on the point, and had ascertained
that the pamphlets referred to did unquestion-
ably come under the operation of that Act,
for, as was established in the case of Murphy's
" Confessional Unmasked," it was not necessary that
the object of the author, or of the publisher, should be
immoral ; it was sufficient that the writing should be
indecent in order to expose the persons who circulated it,
to the 'penalties of the IaNV-. Mr. Bruce added that he
had received these pamphlets, and that unfortunately, at
this season of the year it was not possible to put them
in their proper place—behind the fire—but henceforth
it was to be hoped teat all persons concerned
in circulating these most objectionable productions,would,
now that they had been fairly warned, refrain from send-
ing them in future. It would be well, therefore, for the
ladies who have taken upon themselves to oppose what
they call the "C. D." Act to be more wary. They would
not like to be prosecuted under what is known as the
Holywell-street Act. When this little episode was over a
gentleman in dark-coloured spectacles said to be Mr. Plim-
soll, got up to call attention to loss of life at sea.
It was then close upon five o'clock, and there was a rush
of M.P.'s, able editors and reporters to " another place,',
where matters more exciting than this, and speakers more
weighty than the member for Derby were expected.
If the attendance of the Commons was only " exces-
sively moderate," what phrase can I borrow from Capel
Court to describe the attendance of the Lords !
Theie was a beggarly array ,of empty red
morocco benches. At first there were not a
score of peers present. The Bishop of Exeter was one of
the only two prelates to be seen; but later the pair were
joined by the Bishops of Salisbury, Oxford, Gloucester,
and Bristol. Lord Hatherley rattled out his jingling
formula of " Content, not content the contents have it "
with marvellous rapidity as one private bill after another
was read. Then came a dreary pause. The Duke of
Argyll was the first Cabinet Minister to
enter. Lord Granville appeared a little later,
and to them Lords Halifax, De Grey, Kimberley,
Northbrook and Lansdowne joined themselves. Other
peers came in. but even when Lord Granville began his
eagerly-expected statement, there were not a hundred
peers present. The attendance of commoners was very
large. Mr. Gladstone sat on the steps of the Throne, and
all along the bar was an eager throng. At seventeen
minutes past five Lord Granville rose, as he said,
to fulfil the promise which he had made to
Lord Russell, by delivering a statement with
respect to the negotiations. He did not go
through them in detail. He referred only to the most
salient points. At one time, as he said, success seemed
attained. He lamented greatly the Benedetti incident at
Ems, and evidently attributed to the exasperation caused
in both countries by that incident the extinction of all
hope of peace. He announced in the most decisive '
terms the intention of the Government to maintain a
strict neutrality, and contended that in this way
far better than by'threatening what England would do in
certain eventualities would this country best maintain its
dignity. This was the only reference (and it was a most
indirect one) to the Secret Treaty which Lord Granville
made. He sat down, after speaking twenty minutes,
having said nothing but what every one knew before,
very much to the disgust of the able editors. Lord
Malmesbury followed, and in a speech of thir-
teen minutes approved the steps taken by Lord
Granville, declared his opinion that war was inevitable
from the first and had been for some time previously,
consoled the Foreign Secretary with the reflection that
under these circumstances a conference must have failed
even if the belligerents had assented to it, expressed his
confidence that Lord Granville would refer to the Secret
Treaty on another day, and implored the Government to
strengthen the British army, as they might well do with-
out inconsistency in the present altered state of Europe.
Then Lord Russell rose, and there was silence audible,
for no one could hear what he said. Probably we did not
lose very much.

The " promoters of the Dublin demonstrations of
sympathy with France " have issued a paper, in which
they say that as their object "has been fully attained, the
country will, for the present, desist from similar demon-
trations."

M. TIMES ON THE WAR.—An extract from a
private letter by M. Thiers has been published which is
especially interesting at the present crisis. The
veteran statesman says :—" I have always believed that
France would be called upon to resist the ambition of
Prussia—a young and conquering nation, but I thought
also that she must not do so until the necessity was
plainly evident, and all the other nations of Europe
would acknowledge we had good grounds for action.
Policy and humanity alike directed this course.
If by asking for the production of the despatches I could
have obtained twenty-four hours' respite, I believe that
my countrymen, having had time to think would perhaps
have declared themselves for peace. I did not succeed
and, therefore, faithful to the banner of my nation,
can only wish for her success, trusting that it may co—
humanity as little as possible, and that it may produce a
durable peace.—THlEßs, Deputy of the Seine.—Paris,
July 25, 1870,"

MARKETS.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, FRlDAY.—Quietness has been

the feature of the grain trade at Mark-laneto-day. There has
been a moderate supply of English wheat on sale, including
some additional samples of new produce. For all descriptions
the demand has been quiet, at about late rates. With foreign
wheat the market has been fairly supplied. Sales have progressed,
slowly, at drooping prices. The spew of barley has been mode-
rate. Without being active, the trade has been firm, at full
quotations. Malt has been quiet, at about late currencies. Oats
have been steady in value, with a fair inquiry. Beans and peas
have been quite as dear. Flour has been inactive. Some samples
of new English wheat have been on sale in excellent condition.
The price demanded for them has been from 60s. to 655., but
has not been obtained. Arrivals :—English and Scotch—wheat,

1,090 qrs. ; malt, 100 ; oats, 60 ; beans, 80. Foreign—Wheat,
43,320 ; barley, 620 ; oats, 94,020 ; maize, 3,270 ; beans, 1,120 ;
peas, 4,970. Flour, 1,320 sacks.
LIVERPPOOL CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—There was only a
small attendance of buyers at this market to-day ; and a limited
business was done in wheat. American winter red brough was
rather over Tuesday's rates, but inferior quality are fully ld.
per cental lower. Flour was a dull sale, at late rates. Indian
corn and Egyptian beans were 6d. per quarter cheaper.

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—The hot forcing
weather during the last few days has brought corn up rapidly to
maturity, giving promise of an earlier harvest than was ex-
pected. This has caused a decline in the value of wheat from
the high price current at the beginning of last week ; and to-
day sales can only be made at from 2s. to 3s, below last Friday's
rates. Spring corn was rather cheaper.
LINCOLN CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—In consequence of the
Sleaford Show, there was a very poor attendance at this market
to-day. Wheat was from 4s. to ss. lower. All other grain was
at last week's rates.

MANCHESTER COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.—This market
remains very dull, and considerable depression of tone prevails.
Prices are very irregular, and in order to sell spinners would
require to accept 3s. 4d. per lb. under the prices they held out
for this day week. The reduction in the value of cloth is not
generally so great. In addition to the small orders daily given
out, we hear of a few large contracts placed in the market for
both yarn and cloth, but at lower rates than producers can cover
on the day they are induced to accept such prices, as
they look for a further and considerable decline
in the value of cotton, owing to the depression and
disorganised state of business in Liverpool, which is materially
affecting our market. The further advance in the Bank rate
was generally anticipated, and has excited no
,adverse influence,
but rumours of further failures here and in Liverpool, and the
depression towards the close of the day, producers in order to
sell have accepted prices which they refused in the morning.
Quotations—lst, 120 ; 3rd, 111 d. ; 4th, 17}d. ; sth, 7s. 9d. ; 6th,
9s. 3d. ; 7th, Bs. 4d. ; Bth, lOs.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRlDAY.—Opening: official
figures—lmport, 37,478 bales ; sales, 57,250 bales ; stock, 589,030
bales, of which 301,670 bales are American, and 145,280 bales are
Surat, The trade took 50,190 bales ; speculators took 2,370 bales ;
exporters took 4,690 bales ; actual export, 5,019 bales. Prices :
Middling Orleans, Bd. ; Mobiles, 7id. ; Uplands, 71d. •' fair
Dhollerah, 60. ; fair Egyptian, 9id. The market opened with
a limited inquiry : but under the influence of yesterday's depres-
sion, it is impossible to estimate the extent of to-day's business.
Second Report.—There is a marked anxiety to sell, and prices
are again from to I in favour of the buyers ; but even with
this concession it is most difficult to get on. Sales 8,000 bales.
Speculation and export 500 bales. Nothing to arrive.
SOUTH WALES TRADE REPORT, FRIDAY.—The war be-
tween France and Prussia has had a prejudicial effect on the
iron trade of this district. Many continental orders must re-
main unexecuted so long as the Franco-Prussian difficulty con-
tinues. The rail mills are actively engaged in the execution of
American and Russian orders. Large quantities of
rails have been sent to Peru, from whence consider-
able orders are anticipated. At some few works
operations have been interrupted from the scarcity of
water. The home trade is quiet. Prices have given way for
pig iron to a greater extent than was recently expected. A
steady improvement marks the tin-plate trade. The further re-
duction in the price of tin has improved the makers' position.
For steam coal there is more inquiry, mainly arising out of the
continental war; and great activity Is expected in a few weeks
in this department if the war continues. The utmost quietness
prevails in the house coal trade.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills.—Nervous De-
rangements.—Not only is the nervous system affected by
variations of temperature, atmospheric vicissitudes, die-
tetic errors, excessive indulgence in stimulants, fatigue of
muscles, and anxiety of Mind, but it also intensely sym-
pathises with disorder in any part of the body. These
excellent Pills, now long noted for their powers of aug-
menting 'the appetite, promoting digestion, regulating
secretions, and enforcing excretions, have likewise proved
themselves the most certain of neurotonics or strengtheners
of the nerves, and the best preservers of vital energy. In
spring, summer, and autumn, Holloway's Pills are espe-
cially useful in guarding the system against the malaria,
sunstroke from excessive heat, and the weakness engen-
dered by an ac celerated circulation, or too profuse per-
spiration.

Sir R. Phillimore had the case of the owners of the
Normandy v. the owners of the Mary before him in the
Admiralty Court yesterday. It was an action brought by
the London and South-Western Railway Company, as
owners of the mail paddle-steamer Normandy, against the
owners of the screw steamer .Mary, to recover
damages for the loss of the former vessel
by collision off the Needles on the 17th
of March last. It will be remembered that
the Normandy was carrying the mails, passengers,
and a general cargo from Southampton to the Channel
Islands, when she came into collision with the Mary,
laden with wheat, and bound from the Black Sea to
London. Within about a quarter of an hour the Normandy
sank, carrying down with her the captain, chief .mate,
engineers, and several of the crew and 'pas-
sengers ; the remainder of the crew and
passengers being taken in the Normandy's boats,
on board of the Mary. At first a charge
of inhumanity, in neglecting to attempt to save
any of the drowning people,_ was made against the captain
and ofOcers of the Mary; but Dr. Deane yesterday, after
hearing. from one of the Normandy's crew that a
boat was sent from the Mary, at once withdrew
all such charges, and said- it was evident the,:
.conduct of the-captain of the Mary after the collision was
perfectly satisfactory, but the officer in charge of the
boat appeared to have " lost his head." It was contended
by the plaintiffs that the Mary did not carry a light, and
was so improperly navigated as to cause the collision ; while
for the defendants was sought to be shewn that the
Mary was in her proper course, and was soundinr, her
fog whistle, as there was a thick fog at the time. About
the fog there was a discrepancy between the evidence of
the parties, those on board of the Normandy saying the
fog only came on about the time of the blow occurring.
The inference was that the Mary was coming up with the
fog, while the. Normandy was just beyond it.. The case
has not concluded.
