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 exploring. 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, 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, 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.

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 incomparably
superior to arrowroot, corn-flour, and other forms of starch, which
contribute but little to the growth or renewal of bone or muscle.

THE LATE BISHOP GRANT.

The body of Dr. Grant, late Roman Catholic Bishop of
Southwark, arrived at the Cathedral last night, where
hundreds of persons, who had intimation of the intelli-
gence,were congregated, both in and outside the building.
The .Requiem will be sung to-morrow at 11.30 a.m., and
the body of the deceased bishop will be conveyed to the
Norwood Orphanage Cemetery for interment. The fune-
ral will be strictly private.

T ' SATURDAY ORCHESTRAL UNION.
Mr Jeffries, the conductor of this society, took his
annu benefit on Saturday afternoon, at the Hanover-
square Rooms. There was a good band, and the piece
was given in a style that did infinite credit to its mem-
bers. Weber's " Euryanthe," Mendelssohn's " Die
Fingal's Hohle," and Ambroise Thomas's " Le Roman
d'Elvire," were the three overtures played on the occasion.
Madame Eugene Oswald was the pianiste, and played
Hummers " Piano Concerto in E minor," with a precision
and power which has never been excelled. This lady is
one of the most efficient performers of the day, and her
playing on the present occasion fully sustained her repu-
tation; Miss Ada Percival, a young lady with a con-
tralto voice which promises to ripen with experience,
sang Benedict's " I murmur not" with a finish we should
like to see frequently imitated. Miss Blanche Reeves,
Mdlle. Lina Mocca, and Mr. Frank Elmore were the
other vocalists. Altogether the concert was a success.

THE BAPTISTS C
ATION .ENTENARY AND
EDUC

The centenary meeting of the Baptist Association,
which is being held in Leicester, was resumed yesterday.
The session was held in Lower-street Chapel, under the
presidency of the Rev. F. Stevens, of Nottingham.
Papers were read by Mr. Baldwin, of Loughborough, on
the history of Sunday schools, andby the Rev. J. Clifford, of
London (secretary), on the Sunday schools of the future. Mr.
Clifford referred to the education question, and denounced
Government religion in strong terms, which were
vociferously applauded by the meeting. It required no
prophetic eye (said he) to foretell what must be
the end of the struggle. Religion and arithmetic
must be severed; catechism and cyphering must
not be taugLt together. Government might
teach children to reckon, to read, and to write, as it might
teach soldiers to use rifles, and policemen to keep their
beats, but it had no right to instruct the young in for-
mularies of faith, any more than it had to introduce Mor-
monism into the Army or Mahomedanism into the Navy.
(Great cheering.) They must hai're a further application
of the principle of total separation between the adminis-
tration of politics and the teaching of religion. (Applause.)
Eternal justice demanded the reform, and it would avail
nothing in the long run to resist. Mr. Meekly advocated
special children's services—children's churches on Sunday,
and other services on week days. An increase should be
made in the number, and an improvement brought about
in the proficiency of the teachers. Much more cheerful-
ness was also required in the school-rooms.

FATAL ACCIDENT.--TWO DEATHS.
A lamentable accident has occurred at Month Whit-
tington, near Sheffield. A boy descended by means of a
rope to the bottom of a coal shaft, in order to recover a lost
cricket ball. He was unable to get back to the surface, and
his uncle went down to assist him, but both were
overcome by choke-damp, and lost their lives. An inquest
was opened last night, but was adjourned to enable the
Government inspector to be present.

FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION.
A fatal and destructive explosion happened on Tuesday
at the Lanesfield Ironworks, Spring Vale, near Wolver-
hampton, belonging to Messrs. H. De Simencourt and
Co. A boiler burst whilst the workpeople were
changing turns. The body of John Shorthouse, the fire-
man, was dug out of the ruins; and Enoch Elwell, a
shearer, remains there, and his corpse is being searched
for. A considerable number of other workpeople ar
se in-
jured—some, it is feared, fatally ; and the workare
damaged, but can resume in a week. The boiler was under
official inspection, but was not assured.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE Y
_ ESTERDAT.
THE POLICE AT FAULT.—Benjamin Hill and John
Furber, two young men, were charged at Westminster
police-court with loitering for an unlawful purpose.
Ludbrook, a detective of the B division, said at half-past
one this morning he was on duty in Westbourne-street,
and watched the two prisoners into Newland-street. They
remained there a little time and then went to Coleshill-
street. Witness stopped them and asked what they
were doing there, and Hill said they had been to
Cremorne to look after their living, and were
going home. As he was not satisfied with their
account of themselves he took them into custody. Mr.
Arnold asked if anything was known of them ? The con-
stable replied in the negative. Mr. Arnold asked whether
they had given any address? Ludbrook said they had, but
he had not been there. Mr. Arnold said their conduct
was to some extent suspicious, but the police had
ample opportunity to inquire whether their addresses were
correct, and as they had not done that he should discharge
the prisoners.
UNPROVOKED ASSAULTS ON FEMALES.—Edward Thor-
burn was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at the Westmin-
ster Police-court, with being drunk and behaving in a
disorderly manner, and also with assaulting two young
women named Kate Burton and Catherine Wright. Kate
Burton said that she was talking to some friends in Leices-
ter-square last night, when the prisoner came up and rudely
asked her where she was going. She told him to mind his
own business, upon which he struck her twice on the head,
making use of very bad language at the time. The
evidence of the complainant was fully corroborated by
a young woman named Elizabeth Mason. The prisoner's
defence was that he thought he knew the young women
He was committed for two months with hard labour.

A FORGIVING WIFE AND A BRUTAL HUSBAND.—
William Cutting, a middle-aged man, was brought before
Lushington at the Thames Police-court charged with
wounding his wife Elizabeth with intent to do her grievous
bodily harm. The wife said she had been married 23 years
to the prisoner, who was a most violent man while in
liquor, but a good husband when sober. She did
not wish to prosecute him. He would not have done
it if he had been sober. They had a few
words about a lodger leaving owing to her husband's
temper, and he took up an earthenware teapot and hurled
it at her with great violence. It struck her on the back.
She hoped the magistrate would let him off. Way, a
police-constable, No. 22 K, said the prisoner often turned
his wife out of doors and compelled her to wander about
the streets all night. He asked her how the wound was
inflicted, and she said with a teapot. The magistrate had
some doubts about the wound being inflicted with a
teapot. He ordered the prisoner to find two sureties to
keep the peace for two months, and in default committed
him to prison.
