Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., TWO FAIR I) kUGHTERS. By PERCY FITZGERALD, M. A . Author of "Bella Donna," Vie. Hurst and Blaekett, Publishers, 13, Great Marlborough-street. ANGLO-SWISS CONDENSED MILK COMPANY, C II AM, SWITZERLAND AND The London correspondent of the Scotsman mentions a new reason why the Presidency of the Board of Trade will probably be offered to Mr. Chichester Fortescue. This will be to make Mr. Cardwell the Secretary for Ire land, and Lord Northbrook Secretary of War. Mr. Lefevre, who has done so well at the Board of Trade, will take Lord Northbrook's place, hav ing- the conduct of war business in the House of Commons. This arrangement will get rid of the diffi culty of asking Mr. Lefevre to take a purely subordinate position to President in' the Board of Trade, when the former has prepared the bills and done all the Work for the next session. The next probability is, that if Mr. Chichester Fortescue refuses the Presidency, it will be offered to Mr. Stansfeld, and that Mr. Lefevre will , become Secretary of the Treasury. 38, LEADENHALL STREET (ESTABLISHED 1866).

The Perthshire Society of Nat Ural Science proposes starting a quarterly magazine, to be called the Scottish Naturalist, and Journal of the Perthshire Society of Natural History. It will be specially devoted to recording obser vations and discoveries made in the northern part of Britain ; and it is intended that it shall. contain (in ad dition to the " Proceedings" of the Society), reports of the meetings of Scottish Natural History Societies ; a record of Scottish captures ; observations and dis coveries both zoological and botanical ; scientific jottings notes and queries; lists of species for distribution in ex change, &c. Some time ago we announced that Sir Roderick Mur chison had offered the munificent sum of £6,000 for the endowment of a Chair of Geology and Mineralogy in the University of Edinburgh, on the under standing that the annual proceeds of this sum would be supplemented by a grant from Parliament. We are happy to state that Government has 'consented to this proposal, and has agreed to recommend an annual grant of £2OO. .This desirable result (for which the University, we believe, is largely indebted to the earnest co-operation of its member, Dr. Lyon Playfair) will be welccmed.as another evidence that our authorities are not so indiffe rent as they have been supposed to be to the claims of scientific education.—.

" Mr. W. Evill has written a lively and agreeable account o ' A Winter Journey to Rome.' His descriptions of scenery in the Alps and of the Italian cities are exceedingly graphic, showing much sympathy with nature, and a refined intelligence, Though the style of the book is somewhat sketchy, it is thoroughly readable, especially in the passages referring to the Council, which have in some degree the value of contemporary history."— Daily Telegraph. " Those who have followed the well-known route, and visited the spots described by Mr. Evill, are scarcely likely to add much to their fund of information by reading his lively sketches ; yet we are far from saying that the publication is superfluous. To gain knowledge is not the only object which induces a man or woman to take ap a new volume •, and if Mr. Evill does not add distinctly to our stock, he has the art—a rare one—of placing familiar scenes in a fresh and agreeable light. . . . . The book has the merit of being thoroughly readable."—Pall Mall Gazette. " Having read the book through from cover to cover—of itself an eulogium from any reviewer—we could certainly not spare Mr. Evill's always animated, often graphic, and more than once or twice really eloquent descriptions, any moro than we could spare his account of the wonderful pageantry of the Papal func tions in Rome, and of the marvellous masterpieces in sculpture and painting scattered among the Palaces and Basilicas. . . . As a graphic delineator of the superb scenery and the renowned cities through which he made this winter journey, he has acquitted himself admirably well."—Sun. " The author has evidently a feeling for the beautiful and the picturesque, and describes what he saw in forcible and some times eloquent language. . . Notwithstanding his well worn subject, Mr. Evill has produced an agreeable little volume, which may not unprofitably detain the reader."—Daily News. " There is no pretension whatever about the book of travels, and though it relates very little of what is new, it tells of nothing that is uninteresting, vapid, or dull. To the truthfulness of its descriptions of places and works of art we can thoroughly testify, and assure our readers that such of them as are meditating an Italian tour could not possibly do better than furnish themselves with a copy."—Bell's Weekly Messenger. " Mr. Evill's visit to Rome was opportunely timed. to enable him to witness the great gathering of prelates in attendance at the opening of the (Ecumenical Council ; his journey was accomplished with great rapidity, but his hasty en route sketches are lively and amusing."—Record. " In this pleasant little book we have an abundance of inter esting matter, such as a professed bookmaker might extend into the compass of two goodly volumes ln the very fast page we are satisfied with the book, and are engrossed with its contents We recommend the entire little volume as well to readers as to intending tourists in search of continental information."—News of the World. " The ground was all new to Mr. Evil, and, 'in spite of the season of the year, he saw it under peculiarly favourable cir cumstances. He has an eye quick to see, and a pen that enables him to tell right pleasantly, and not a little vividly, what he has seen. . . . Mr. Evill was fortunate enough, in company with his friend, Mr. Charles Kent, the poet, to see the pro cession in St. Peter's, on the opening day of the Vatican Council. His description of it is very graphic."—Western Morning News. "Italy has been described to the reading world again and again, and, therefore, the charm of Mr. Evill's book is not the charm of novelty, but it has a charm. There is a fresh, Inge imous manner, that appeals to the reader. The author records his impressions and describes minutely the beauty of the Italian scenery without a thought of the travellers who have gone before. Some passages, descriptive, are really excellent. The exterior and interior of Milan cathedral are put before us in glowing terms, and the long ceremonies of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council are forcibly described. His description of Venice is excellent. Mr. Evill's word-painting is far above the average of such descriptions. We are sure that readers, after a perusal of this book, will have a vivid impression of the scenery described, and be grateful to Mr. Evill for his pleasant recollec tions."—Lloyd's Weekly News. " Accuracy of description will cause this little book to be read, and probably enjoyed, by those Englishmen and English women whom necessity keeps at home year after year . . • The profits are to be given to a charity, and we heartily wish it every success, and think that many untravelled Englishmen will find something to interest them in Mr. Evill's "Winter Journey to Rome—The Examiner. "This little volume, containing, together with careful descrip tions of places and cities, an account of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council, it is worthy of notice, is dedicated, not in irony or without permission, but in friendship and with full authority, by a Protestant to a Roman Catholic. There may be many worse preparations for a visit to the city which still is queenlike, if no longer queen, than a perusal of this unpreten tious, but instructive volume ; and the author's remarks touching that Church, the services and worship of which serve to make up the entire life of modern Rome may grieve, but will not affront, a liberal Roman Catholic, and may command the assent, but will not shock the better feelings, of a Liberal Protestant." — Illustrated London News.

MIDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT. Office, 5, Red Lion-square, W.C., London.—During the last 10 years this Institution has been instrumental in rescuing a vast number of poor girls from a life of degradation and misery. The plan adopted has been to seek the wanderers in the streets of London 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 every week in some of the most frequented districts of the metropolis. The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many fallen ones. To enable them to continue their important work, FUNDS are earnestly solicited, and will.be thankfully received by Mr. John Stabb, Ron. Sec., 5, Red Lion-square , W .

Dr. - Hureau de Villeneuve, secretary to the French Aeronautical Society, and editor to the Aeronaut, a paper devoted specially to aeronautics, has established at his re sidence an ambulance for aeronauts. He had to attend to a few cases from accidents of different de scriptions in the management of captive balloons, and fewer of soldiers who had drawn the ropes for their aerial observations. M. de Villeneuve is to open a regular course of lectures on aaoriaties at the• Petite Sorbonne. It is the third time that a regular course of lectures has been delivered in Paris on this sub ject : the first time by Dupuis Delcourt, at.the Atlkin4e, about forty-five years ago, when Comte was delivering his, lectures on Positive Philosophy ; the second time by M. W. de Fonvielle, at the Lecture Hall of the Boulevard de Capucines, three years ago. Little Folks is to be the title of a new magazine for children, to be issued next month by Messrs.

THE COUNTERFEIT SOVEREIGN With regard to the letter from a firm in Broadway, New York, addressed to persons in this country, offering to supply an unlimited quantity of counterfeit sovereigns made from a mineral dug in the Alleghany Mountains, on receipt of an order purporting to be for tobacco, Captain I'alin, the chief of Police at Manchester, has since com municated with the authorities at New York on the sub ject, and received the subjoined reply : " Office of the Superintendent of Police of the City "of New York, 300, Mulberry-street, New " York, December 9, 1870. " Dear Sir,—Your kind favour of 25th received. In relation to circular it is a swindle, and gotten up by an unscrupulous get of villains to swindle the ignorant and unwary, or some of their own kind, which latter class deserve no sympathy. We have made a number of arrests, hnt we have been unable to inflict much punishment. They do not deal in counterfeit money or anything else. Their only object is to get money from the poor dupes. " Very respectfully pairs, "JAMES J. KELSO, Supt." NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. In consequence of the 97th Regiment, stationed at Dover, having been ordered to proceed to Ireland, the depot of the 76th Regiment, which was attached to the 97th, on Thursday arrived at Chathai Garrison from Dover, to be attached for the present to the General Depot Battalion. The depot recently provided a draught of 200 men, who left last week for Burmah to join the service companies there, and consequently the depot on its arrival at Chatham was very weak. There was but one officer and about 40 non-commissioned officers and men. A draught from the depot of the 83rd Regiment, attached to the General Depot Battalion at Chatham, is ordered to embark at Portsmouth on the 31st inst. to join the service companies in Bombay. The 30-ton gun has been finished in the Royal Gun Fac tories, Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, and is now being con veyed to the proof butts in the Government marshes, Plumstead. for the purpose of undergoing a preliminary trial, previous to being shipped to Shoeburyness for a more extended and searching ordeal. • Mr. Childers, Admiral Sir Sydney Dacres. and Captain Chandos Stanhope returned to the Admiralty on Thurs day night from an official visit to Plymouth. A Prebendal stall in Lincoln Cathedral has been conferred upon the Rev. George Quilter, M.A., of St. Peter's College, Cambridge, vicar of Cannock, near Lin coln. Mr. Quitter took his B.A. degree in 1815, and is nearly 80 years of age. ✓ A PRACTICAL 'h. DGE.—At Norwich, where the eclipse was only partially seen, on Thursday, Mr. Justice Lush adjourned the sitting of the assize court at noon, in' order to witness the phenomenon. The Chief Secretary for Ireland received a depu tation from the Association for closing public-houses on Sunday. After hearing the arguments advanced, Mr. Fortescue promised that a Licensing Bill should be introduced next session ; but reminding the deputation that their views were those of only a section of the com munity, and that public convenience and the affording of opportunities for innocent enjoyment were also matters to be considered, he added that he could not pledge the Government to the introduction of a bill for the entire closing of public-houses on Sunday. M de Fonvielle delivered a lecture on the Franco- Prussian war, on Wednesday evening, at Southampton, and in the course of his address gave a description of the mode by which the Parisians converted horses, cats, dogs, and rats into food, and raised vegetables, such as cabbages, lettuces, and radishes, in a very short time on the waste places about Paris. He exhibited a rat pie, which had been prepared by a cook at a London hotel. It was a raised, ornamental pie, resembling the pork pies sold by English pastrycooks. It was cut in two ; the interior looked savoury and inviting, and the lecturer declared it delicious eating, and very nutritious. It was about the size of a 2s. pork pie, and it contained the flesh of five rats. AMERICAN LITERARY MEN.—Bryant is reputed worth $500,000, made chiefly by journaliem. Longfellow is estimated at $200,000, the gift of his father-in-law, besides the very considerable profit of his poems.' Holmes is rated at $lOO,OOO, hereditary property, increased in lecturing and literature. Whittier, who lives frugally is worth $30,000, inherited and earned by his popular pen. Saxe is reputed worth $70,000, inherited, and earned by lecturing, and literature. Lowell is said to be worth $30,000 or $40,000, hereditary and acquired in his chair as professor of Harvard College. Boker is rich by in heritance, and worth probably $lOO,OOO. Bayard Taylor is a man of independent property, the profits of his literature and lecturing, and dividends from his Tribune .stock. Verily, a prosperous set of fellows.—American Paper. • THE POET MOORE.—His stern independence might have yielded to temptations such as few receive and very few resist; he preserved it to the last, under circumstances such as any of his many great and wealthy friends would have called "poverty." Of luxuries, from the commencenvint of his career to its close, he had lite rally. none ; his necessities were at times severe, but they were never published to the world nay, were never obtruded even on those who could, and certainly would, have made them less. in all the relations of life he was faithful, affectionate, and considerate ; "at home " he was ever loving and beloved ; there he was happiest by rendering his limited circle happy. Let it be inscribed on his tomb, that ever, amid privations and temptations, the allurements of grandeur and the suggestions of poverty, he preserved his self-respect, bequeathing no property, but leaving no debts ; having had no " testimonial" of acknowledgment or reward ; seeking none, nay, avoiding any ; making millions his debtors for intense delight, and acknowledging himself paid by " the poet's mewl, the tribute of a smile ;" never truckling to power ; labouring ardently and honestly for his political faith, but never lending to party that which was meant for mankind ; proud, and rightly proud, of his self-obtained position, but neither scorning nor slighting the humble root from which he sprung.—S. Hall's 3leniories front Personal Acquaintance: LAW AND POLICE. THE CONSTABLE AND THE COACHMAN.—Henry Chaplin, coachman to Sir Sydney Dacres, of New-street, Spring- Gardens, appeared before Mr. Knox to a summons charging him with using offensive language to Police-constable Robert French, 130 Reserve. The constable stated that on the Ist instant the defendant pulled up at the Civil Service Co-operative Stores in the Haymarket, and re ceived a box with a name on it. He then requested the defendant to move, as he was causing an obstruction, but he refused to do so, and on asking him a second time, there being several vehicles on the rank, he refused and said, "Go away. you - swine, do you think I'll be ordered by a-- like you." He found the defendant had only called for the box, and on asking him his name, he refused it, saying that he would find him at Scotland-yard. He afterwards went to Scotland-yard and found the defendant lived there, and having got hisname a summons was applied for. The defendant said the constable gave his name and address, and he did not make use of the ex pression mentioned by the constable, but he did call him a" - fool." There were no other carriages on, the rank. A. witness, a fellow servant of the defendants, said the defendant gave the constable his name and address, " Mr. Chaplin, Scotland-yard, servant to Sir Sydney Dacres." The constable said the defendant never did so. The defendant said he should like some of the persons from the stores to attend. Mr. Knox said they should'be sent for. On their attending, Daniel Harrison, commissionaire on duty at the stores, and John Warren, a porter at the stores were sworn. The former deposed to hearing the constable tell the defendant to leave as he was causing an obstruction, and the defendant became very abusive and stopped some time, there being car riages on the engaged rank ; while the latter deposed to taking out a box to the defendant, and hearing that he had been abusing the constable. Mr. Knox said the defendant's own witnesses had proved that he had used very insulting-language to the constable, and he had no doubt that the offence charged had been made out. He was sorry to see a person like the defendant in such a position, after the character (handed to the magistrate) he had received from Lady Sidney Dacres. He had no doubt the defendant had allowed his temper to get the better of him, and he had no doubt, if the defendant's master was sitting by his (Mr. Knox's) side, he would very properly call the defendant to account for it. The defendant would have to pay 205., or fourteen days. ROBBERY OF LINEN.—Eliza Williams, a woman of the town, was brought up at the Thames Police-court, charged with stealing a quantity of wet linen, from a yard in the occupation of Mr. Tutte,:of Cold Harbour, Blaekwall. A police-constable named John Currin, No. 230 K, met prisoner at half-past one o'clock this morning, in the Burdett-road, Limehouse, with a bundle consisting of shirts, drawers, handkerchiefs, and other things, which she said a man she had never seen before had given her to carry. Mrs. Davis Tutte, the wife of the owner of the property, said the things had been stolen from her yard between the hours of eight and ten in the evening. The iirisoner was committed for trial. A CONVICT NEGLECTING TO COMPLY WITH HER LICENSE. —Catherine Galvati, a ticket-of-leave convict, and known to the police as a thief for many years, was charged with not reporting her change of residence to the po lice in the terms of her license. The police, who exercise a very rigid and proper surveillance over ticket-of-leave convicts (called licence-holders), could prove that the prisoner had changed her abode. She was discharged, with a caution to be careful and to report herself monthly at the nearest police station to which she resided. THE WILL OF LORD CREWE.—Lord Romilly has given judgment in a suit in which the question was raised whether, under the will of the late Lord Crewe, Lincoln College, Oxford, the University of Oxford, and the City of Durham, were entitled to share in the surplus annual income of certain property in Northumberland and Durham. Counsel for the claimants contended that although they had been excluded by distinct words from participation in the surplus income, they ought to be allowed to share in, on the ground that Lord Crewe never anticipated that the surplus would become so large (10,000 a year). The Master of the Rolls decided against the claimants. (JOINERS IN LONDON.—A gang of coiners was placed at the bar at Marlborough-street Police-court. On Wed nesday evening Mr. Brannan, agent to the Mint, accom panied by some policemen, proceeded to the house of a man named Weller, in Saville-street, near the Middlesex Hospital. There, while the. prisoners, who sat round a. table, watched their operations, the police seized two moulds for counterfeiting crown pieces, a double mould for half-crowns, a galvanic battery, three counterfeit crowns, 25 florins, and a number of implements used for the pm poseg , of - leoining. Mr. Knox remanded all the prisoners. THE MURDER OF MR. HAYWARD. - --- The Indian Government have received accurate infor mation respecting Mr. Hayward's murder, which was completed with the sword. The body was buried with military honours in Gilort Fort. The Maharajah of Cashmere has elicited these facts, and done his best to make a searching inquiry. THE RELEASE OF THE FENIANS. The satisfaction expressed on all hands on the first announcement of the release of the Fenian prisoners is now qualified by expressions of discontent at the " decree of exile " accompanying the amnesty. The Cork Examiner says that when writing first on the subject it was under the impreSsion that only in exceptional cases was this limitation to the release to be operative. It regrets to find that it was mistaken, being of opinion that " the re servation mars to some extent the grace of the concession. and the good effect that a display of entire confidence would have wrought on our population. Halting, how ever, as it is, it will be a comfort to know that Christmas Day will not see any of our countrymen occupying a felon's cell for a political offence." The Tipperary Free Press calls the amnesty " a blunder ing half measure, which consigns our countrymen to perpetual banishment from the land of their affections — from the homes in which they were loved so devotedly." Funds are being collected for the relief of the prisoners on their release. At Cork arrangements are being made for a systematic canvass of the city. It is understood thst the Amnesty Associationin Dublin has a considerable sum in hand, and a Glasgow publisher has presented to the Association about 700 copies of Mr. Butt's pamphlet ad vocating the amnesty, in the hope that that body will be able to dispose of them for the benefit of the prisoners. The Duke and Duchess of St. Albans are 011 a tour in Italy, and do not intend to return home till the latter end of next month, or early in February. The New Cross Gazette states that a considerable number of the Catholic students at HeideThera have declared their secession from the Catholic Church.

William Beals, of Boston, one ot the oldest news paper publishers in the United States, and n that cit senior pro prietor of the Boston (U.S.) Post, bas died iy at the age of 86. THE LATE Ma. RITCHIE.—The Scotch papers express general regret at the death, in his 93 of liet ear chief of Mr. J. Ritchie, who was for a long period one pro prietors of the Scotsman newspaper. It is said of him that no man was ever more judiciously hospitable. Many a genial and distinguished circle gathered from time to time around his table, and never separated without a feeling of love and reverence for the venerable nonoge narian whose pleasantries constituted no small part of the evening's happiness. Mr. Ritchie had been for many years a widower ; be was without family ; and his niece and her children made up his household, he was long familiarly and endearingly known " Uncle John," not only among his immediate relatives, but among all his more intimate aspociates. He was accustomed to say, in late years, that "if he only lived to be old enough he would die a rich man," and assuredly he did live to be old enough to die rich, not only in a material sense, but in the lasting esteem of the society in which he moved, and of all who had ever the privilege of his acquaintance THE DENH A M TRAGEDY.—The inhabitants of Denham have shewn great sympathy for the victims of the dreadful tragedy perpetrated last May in this secluded village, by erecting a neat monument to their memory in the village churchyard. It consists of a block of grey mar ble, standing on a large slab of Bath stone, and bearing the following inscription :—" Beneath this stone lie the remains of Emanuel Marshall, and Charlotte his wife ; also, Mary Ann, his sister ; Mary, Thirza, and Gertrude, his chil dren ; who, together with his mother, Mary N:yrshall, were all barbarously murdered on Sunday mornin f, May 22nd, 1870, by John Owens, a travelling blacksmith, who was executed at the County Gaol, at Aylesbury, ..A.ngust Bth, 1870.
