CHAPMA.N & CO.'S ENTIRE WHEAT FLOUR.
PROFESSOR ATTFIELD, Analyst to the Royal Pharma-
ceutical Society of Great Britain, reports as follows Its rich-
ness in gluten, or flesh-forming material and phoshates, or bone
and teeth-forming substances, shows it to be a very valuable and
nutritious food, especially for children. It is ineomparably
superior to arrowroot, corn-flour, and other forms of starch, which
contribute but little to the growth or renewal of bone or muscle.

SERIOUS FIRE IN THE STRAND.

A serious fire broke out at a few minutes to six o'clock
yesterday morning, in George-court, Strand, just in rear of
Messrs. Coutts' Bank. It was first discovered on the
premises of Mr. Wilkins, a carpenter, from which it
spread rapidly to the adjoining houses. The engines were
sent for, and the hose from the bank was brought to bear
upon the flames. Every exertion was made, both by the
firemen and the inhabitants, but the fire was not extin-
guished for an hour and a half, and the premises of Mr.
Wilkins were completely destroyed.

THE PRESIDENT'S TOUR.

General Grant left New York on July 2d, for Hartford,
Connecticut, to be the guest of ex-Governor Jewell.
Everywhere along his route he was enthusiastically
received, the people of all political denominations turning
out heartily to welcome not only the President or the
General, but the man ; for although our people naturally
entertain that high respect for the chief magistrate which
his office should always command, and feel the greatest
gratitude to the commanding officer of the armies that
rescued the Republic at its hour of need, the unpretentious
and democratic bearing of General Grant in his private
relations, and his straightforward course as a public officer
have also strongly endeared him personally to the hearts
of the people. We have never been among those who
caviled at his taking recreation in journeying about among
the people. On the contrary, we believe that the Presi-
dent of a government of the people like ours should not
hold himself aloof from the people, but that he should
mingle among them and study their wants and resources.
This trip especially is one that we can commend, for he
went to celebrate his Fourth of July with the people of
the good old Commonwealth of Connecticut, and in com-
parison with the action of the Senate, which declined to
adjourn over that sacred day, his example is a brilliant
one.—New York Herald.

THE SPANISH BRIGANDS.

The capture of Messrs. John and Antonio Bonell
by the Spanish brigands, following immediately after
the massacre in Greece, drew attention to a state of
things disgraceful to the Government under: which
it is permitted to exist. The official ;despatches
give a full history of the Spanish affair, and the only
conclusion to be arrived at, is that but for the exer-
tions of our ambassador at Madrid the two:gentlemen
might have shared the fate that befel our
countrymen in Greece. After the brigands had
decided that the captives :should be separated, the
younger Mr. Bonnell was taken to a place of conceal-
ment,:while the uncle, accompanied by two of the
robbers, one of whom was the chief, was taken • to
Cadiz. It will hardly be believed, however, that the
party remained four 'days at Cadiz at a " poseda,"
the chief brigand frequently inviting his prisoner to
come out and walk with him; and on one occasion
the whole band promenaded the town for several
hours. It is stated in the despatches that
great efforts were made by the authorities to
track and capture the brigands, but it is rather
curious that they should have been allowed to pro-
menade through Cadiz without the slightest moles-
tation. When negotiations were on foot for the
payment of the ransom, various " emissaries" were
engaged, but these emissaries were not very indus-
trious. The brigands, too, did not trouble themselves
with agents, but negotiated directly for the sum of
money which they subsequently obtained.
The impression is that the case was not
a mere vulgar act of brigandage, but was in
some way connected with the genteel profession of
smuggling, so prevalent at Gibraltar. There is
some consolation in knowing that the chief,

DUNVILLE and Co., Belfast, are the largest holders
of whisky in the world. Their Old Irish Whisky is r ommended
by the medical profession in preference to French brand' . Sup-

APPLICATION FOR PASSPORTS.

One of the many minor inconveniences that may
be expected to test the temper of travellers during
the continuance of the war between France and
Prussia has already made itself apparent. In the
circular respecting passports issued from the Foreign
Office, it is stated that " passports are granted to all
persons either known to the Secretary of State or
recommended to him by some person who i 8 known
to him, or upon the application of any banking firm
established in London or in any part of the United
Kingdom, or upon the production of a cer-
tificate of identity signed by any mayor,
magistrate, justice of the peace, minister of
religion, physician, surgecn, solicitor, or notary
resident in the United Kingdom•" An ap-
plication was made to one of the London police
magistrates by a gentleman, who stated that he
wished to proceed to Switzerland, and acting on the
terms of the Foreign-office circular, he wished to
procure the necessary certificate previous to soliciting
his passport. But the magistrate informed the appli-
cant that it was a matter with which he could not
deal. It was necessary that the person asking for a
certificate should be known to him ; but as he was
not he could not assist him.

POLLING- AT ROCHESTER.

The polling at Rochester yesterday was utterly devoid of
excitement. The Liberal " jumped off with a good lead "
from the first hour, and his antagonist was
nowhere throughout the day. At nine o'clock
the return was—Goldsmid 221, Fox 87 ; at ten
the relative numbers were 432 and 198 ; and at eleven
they Were 562 and 283. The later hours improved this
proportion a little in favour of Mr. Fox, but the change
was of no consequence. One o'clock shewed Goldsmid to
have had 742 votes, and Fox 399 ; two o'clock, Goldsmid,
827,. and Fox 433.
The Mayor of Rochester, J. B. Foord, who is return-
ing officer for the city, declared the final state of the poll
at the Guildhall at half-past four o'clock yesterday after-
noon as follows :—Goldsmid, 987 ; Fox, 550—majority,
437. Mr. Goldsmid having been declared fully elected,
the new member vainly attempted to address the meeting
in consequence of the disturbance raised by the opponents.
Mr. Fox met with the same reception, both gentlemen
being compelled to retire without being heard, except
with great difficulty, by the reporters, to whom they'prin-
eiPally addressed themselves.

PRISON MADE GOODS.

Competition between convict and free labour is a
question that must naturally provoke a good deal of
angry feeling in the minds of the already badly-paid
artisans, and the deputation which has just waited on
Mr. Bruce, represented a larger body than the
Weavers' Association, who are the active opponents
of the system of which they complain. There can
be no doubt that the manner in which articles manu-
factured by prisoners are disposed of in the market
must have a tendency to reduce the price of indepen-
dent labour. The extent of this reduction may be
seen by the proof adduced by Mr.Applegarth, who pro-
duced a mat made at Coldbath-fields prison and sold
at 4s. 6d., the ordinary price of this article in the
open market being 9s. The deputation impressed
upon the Home Secretary that their complaint was,
not the existence of convict labour, but the under-
selling of prison-made goods. The question is one
difficult of solution, for it affects not only particular
trades,but the general body ofratepayers who are deeply
concerned in the subject. Prison labour is essential as a
deterrent; but beyond this, when the system is
effective, it lightens the cost to which the ratepayers
are subject, and it also provides a means through
which the criminal may have a chance of becoming
an honest citizen after his discharge. As Mr. Bruce
remarked, if we are to employ prisoners at all, it is
difficult to see how competition with free labour can
be avoided; and unless the demand is greater than
the supply the natural consequence of an addition to
the power of production is a reduction in the price
of the manufacture produced.

CHARGE OF FRAUD.

Thomas O'Reilly, bankrupt, who has carried on busi-
ness at Merchants' Quay, Cork, as a general dealer, was
arrested on Saturday evening on a charge of fraud in con-
nection with his bankruptcy. It is alleged that the
bankrupt had obtained large quantities of goods from
English and Scotch houses after he had become insolvent,
and disposed of them by action under cost prices. He
was examined in the Dublin Bankruptcy Court on
Friday, and the case was adjourned, protection being ex-
tenued, but circumstances which were subsequently
ascertained led to a warrant for his arrest being taken
out.

PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.

As yet no regular plan of operations is disclosed, and it is
even uncertain whither the first movement of troops will
be. A large number of details, however, have transpired.
Wherever the troops are to go, there they will quickly be,
for the management of the lines of railway have been
studied for several month with the greatest care, and the
Government has acquired the art of concentrating their
forces upon a given point with the most
marvellous rapidity. The steamships of the Messageries
Imperiales have been retained at Marseilles, and are
destined for Algeria. This country, in which the harvests
have been very fine, will be able to furnish abundance of
barley and oats. At Cherbourg the work of armament
has been rapidly pushed forward during the last few days.
The Rochanabeau, the Savoie, the Guienne, the Surveil-
lante, the Garonne, and the Calvados are ready to start.
The two latter will go to Algeria to take troops ; the four
first-named iron-clads will reinforce the ocean squadron.
The Journal du Havre of the 13th of July states that
there is great activity in the offices of the maritime con-
scription, and an order had been received to send all
sailors who have not yet served six years on board of
vessels of the State. A letter from Toulon, in
the llfessager du Midi, states that on the 11th of
July the large steam transport Eutreprenante, fitted
with stalls for horses, sailed for Algiers, and another
transport, the Dryade, followed the next evening, while
a gaffing vessel, the Intrepide, was preparing for the same

HEALTH AT WIMBLEDON ENCAMPMENT.

The sanitary condition of the camp at Wimbledon
is proving in the highest degree satisfactory.
According to one of the medical organs, the
Tines and Gazette—a couple of cases of febricula,
a couple of flesh-wounds caused by fragments re-
boundmng from the practice-targets, a scald caused
by the stumbling of a boy over a tent-rope into a
camp-kettle, these constitute the most formidable
cases on the sick list at the Field Hospital,
with the exception of a couple of patients who
barely escaped with their lives from the fatal rail
way accident at Carlisle. They were Lanarkshire
lieutenants, and, therefore, men having a claim upon
the assistance of the Field Hospital authorities. It
is gratifying to know that the dry earth system,
adopted in the camp, answers very well, but it is in
no way surprising to find that it requires constant
supervision.

THE CONSTRUCTORSHIP OF THE NAVY.
We believe that, though Mr. Reed's resignation was
formally tendered and formally accepted, the question of
his leaving the admiralty is still unsettled. How such
a singular position has arisen may be told in a few words.
During the long interval that ensued before Ir. Reed's
resignation was accepted the Franco-Prussian difficulty
arose, and Mr. Reed at onto telegraphed-4o the Admi-
ralty if his retirement at such a time would in any
way inconvenience them, or if they thought his. services
would' be better employed on the English navy, he would
at once withdraw his resignation,land return to Whitehall.
'There seems little doubt now that the country will not
loss the benefit of his services, though, in a ,pecuniary
point of view Mr. Reed will be a considerable loser by the
abandonment of his engagement with Sir J. Whitworth.

THE SICK AND WOUNDED IN BATTLE.

Every country in Europe, save the United Kingdom,
has its society for the succour and relief of soldiers
wounded in battle, and the outbreak of hostilities
between France and Prussia is referred to by those
interested in the formation of such an institution in
this country as furnishing the occasion for its
establishment. In _ April, 1869, a conference
of gentlemen who were anxious to- extend
societies for the help -of sick and wounded
soldiers was held at Berlin, and Mr. Burgess, of
Trafalgar-square, London, was one of the British
representatives there. This gentleman, in a letter to
the papers, uowpoints out the necessity for the humane
and benevolent to come forward and lend influence
to an institution which would reflect so much credit,
especially at this crisis, upon England. Mr. Burgess
justly observes that in assisting the sick and injured
no country or creed is recognised ; the societies-seek
only to alleviate the sufferings of those requiring
their aid in time of war. In a few hours the mass
of individual pain, which is the natural result of
warfare, will probably exist ; and although only
those who have witnessed scenes of fighting can
realise the whole extent of the bloodshed and agony
of a battlefield, still everyone can imagine
what it is in some degree, and will concede that
nourishing food and a full stock of medical ap-
pliances will be deeply valued in the emergency
of providing comfort for the injured. This
war, though .'perhaps a brief one, will probably
be a most fatal one to human life, as the two
deadliest weapons that have ever been manufactured,
the Chassepot rifle and the needle gun, will be
brought into action-on the respective sides.

THE EVANS BANKRUPTCY APPEAL.

Lord Justice James was engaged during the greater
part of Saturday in the Court of Appeal in investigating
the merits of an appeal from a recent order of Mr.
Registrar Brougham, the order being that the discharge
of Messrs. John Carbury Evans and Richard Percival
Evans, hop merchants, of Southwark, as .bankrupts,
should be subject to the condition of filing an account of
the profits made by each of them over £l,OOO per annum, the
surplus being paid to the joint account of the official assignees
until the creditors of the estate had received 7s. Gd. in the
pound upon the whole of the debts proved. Mr. Serjea,nt
Sargood was counsel for the appellant, Mr. J. C. Evans ;
Mr. Little, Q.C., Mr. De Gex, Q.C., and Mr. Pearson,
Q.C., appearing for other parties. It will be remembered
that the bankruptcy of the Messrs. Evans created a sen-
sation recently among commercial men, the liabilities of
the firm amounting to nearly £lOO,OOO, although they had
not been in business for more than four years. It was
shewn that when their father relinquished his business
to them they had no capital whatever, notwithstanding
which they fixed an annuity of £BOO upon him, and soon
afterwards, in a partnership transaction, created a further
liability of £35,000. They carried on hop-planting on an
extensive scale in Kent, and in four years realised a profit
of £44,000 ; but that was counterbalanced by the expen-
diture, which exceeded that sum by some few thousand
pounds. In addition to this, they permitted
their father to • overdraw his account by £4,000, and
their expenditure for the maintenance of themselves
and their families amounted each to £3,200 a year. The
bankrupts alleged that this expenditure was necessary for
the purpose of maintaining an establishment commen-
surate with their business, and that its tendency was to
improve their commercial relations ; and contended, there
fore, that the Registrar's order was unnecessarily severe,
and ought to be discharged. It was asserted, on the other
hand, that the bankrupts had been guilty of reck-
less extravagance, and that this had contributed
directly to the insolvency. The Lord Justice was of
opinion that the bankrupts had lived in a style which
would only have been justifiable had they been noblemen,
instead of business men without capital. This had
rendered them incapable of meeting their creditors, and,
so far as the principle was concerned, he unhesitatingly
affirmed the decision of the Registrar.

Now published,
"FJORD, ISLE, AND TOR."

A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IN

NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL,
AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS.
BY EDWARD SPENDER
PRICE Ss.

"It is a straightforwardly and :,ometirnes 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. Foi
intending visitors to Norway especially, Mr. Spender a 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 hook 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."
-- 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 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 back 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 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 srom ON SATURDAY MORNING.

On Saturday morning, about 4 o'clock, the metropolis and
suburban districts were visited by a storm of lightning,
thunder and rain—the most violent gtormlhat has oc-
curred during the present season. During the previous
day and last night the weather had been exceedingly
warm and the air heavy, clearly showing that the clouds
were fully charged with electricity, so that when the storm
set in, any one who studies meteorological changes were
not at all surprised by being awakened from their slumbers
by a noise resembling the discharging of a park of artil-
lery. This was caused by a clap of thunder, the noise
of which could be heard reverberating in the distance
for nearly 35 seconds. Flash after flash of sheet and
forked lightning followed, accompanied at intervals vary-
ng from two to three seconds by loud and fearful roars of
thunder. Rain then commenced to fall in such torrents as
to completely cover the principal streets. As far as the
City and Westminster are concerned the storm does not
appear to have done any mischief worth recording, beyond
the mere fact of rendering some of the principal thorough-
fares impassable, owing to the accumulation of water.
Men who were sweeping the roads were set to work in
clearing the gratings leadir, to the sewers, and the water
by that means was enabled to pass away and flush
the sewers. At the Northern portion of London
the lightning did a great deal of mischief and num-
bers of sheep 'grazing in the the Regent's Park were
killed by the eleltric fluid. A man driving a pony in a
cart, near the Highgate Cemetery, was rendered insen-
sible, but his brother, who was riding with him, not
having received any injury, procured some buckets of
cold water, and by dashing the cold liquid into his face he
soon recovered, so as to be able to renew his journey to
the new meat market at Smithfield. Several chimney.
Pots in the same district were shattered, and a fine labur-
nam tree, growing in one of the gardens in Lisson-grove,
North ; yet as far as inquiries made at the different
Police-stations, no human person appears to have been
killed. Upon the ending of the storm the atmosphere
became much cooler and less oppressive, and there is no
doubt but the storm has done a great deal of gold to the
crops as well as to th 4 public health.

TEIE bUIN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, JULY 18, th

a meeting of the Geographical Society, that the Go-
vernment had made a grant of money for the purpose
of assisting in the search for the celebrated traveller.
The news of Dr. Livingstone's safety reached Table Bay
on the 22nd of May. That it is trustworthy
is shewn by the fact that the Astronoaaer Royal of
the Cape of Good Hope, Sir Thomas Maclean, who is
also Mr. Moffat's son-in-law, is thoroughly impressed
with its truthfulness. Sir Thomas Maclean said. it was
physically impossible for Livingstone to have gone
from where we heard from him in May, and to have
been where he was said to be, according t the West
Coast rumour, at the time when he was reported to
,be murdered. It was to his mind quite evident that
Dr. Livingstone was alive and well.

IMPROVEMENT IN RAILWAY ENGINES.

The experiments made on the Festiniog Railway
to test its capabilities, and also the power and com-
parative steadiness of double-bogie engines, the in-
vention of Mr. Fairlie, are made the subject of a
report by Captain Tyler, R.E. The report states
that " the amount of traffic which can be
economically carried upon this little railway, and the
speed at which it can be conveyed round curves
which would be absolutely impracticable under
the ordinary system of railway working,
render it a most instructive example, showing
how, by a reduction of guage, adaptation of rolling
stock, and judicious arrangements, cheap railways
on narrower guages may be advantageously con-
structed in our colonies, in foreign countries and even
in parts of the United Kingdom." That an immense
saving would be effected by
.the introduction of the
system will at once be seen when it is mentioned
that the Festiniog line has a guage of
rather less than two feet. Speaking of Mr.
Fairlie's double bogie engines, Captain Tyler says
that the principle upon which they are designed is
sound. There is a reduction in the: wear and tear
and friction. The weight is accumulated upon the
wheels, so that all the wheels are effective driving
ones, and the engines can run In either direction with
equal safety.

➢iODEST REQUESTS.

Shakespeare has said somewhere, "He that wants
money, means, and content is • without three good
friends," and no one will venture to contradict this
assertion, or another one which suggests itself from
it, namely, that he who possesses not the first will
have neither the second nor the third. In .this en-
lightened and humane age there are few who would
willingly desire to see persons afflicted with lonely
want, retire and die without having onca uttered
to other ears a cry of anguish, or an appeal
for help and sympathy. Tthere are, however, some
people who believe they have felt the sting of
adversity, who are so audacious in their mode
of asking help, that kindly feelings are
smothered, and men begin to think that persons who
can give. their sanction to such appeals, are not
worthy of any one's care or solicitude. Two
requests in London papers of Saturday • morn-
ing are exemplifications of the sturdy method
of trying to - extract solicitude to which we
refer. They are as follow :—To the Wealthy.—
Will any benevolent lady or gentleman lend a lady,
the daughter of an old officer, five pounds before the
21st, to save her from great trouble and disgrace.
Address, &c. :—Twenty pounds wanted to borrow,
without sureties, by a highly respectable young man.
A liberal bonus or interest would be given. Apply,
&c. How many will believe that in either case there
has been genuine adversity, or that there is any touch
of humility exhibited in the petitions, which would
of itself entitle the suppliants to pity and respect.

FRENCH NOTE TO BELGIUM.

The Brussels correspondent of the Avenir National
states that a French note has been addressed to Belgium,
in which the Government asks if Belgium is in a position
to defend her frontiers, and if the Prussian army-would
meet with a serious resistance. In the affirmative case
France would leave Belgium out of her strategical combi-
nations, but that the French army would occupy Belgium
on the first indication of the Prussian army being able
to seize the country. Belgium is said to have stated
in reply that she was perfectly able to defend her
neutrality.
