(Signe) A Malta correspondent, under date of Valetta, Novem ber 18, writes : -" The expedition with the direct dupli cate cable to Alexandria is fairly on its way. The steamers Chiltern and Belgian left Malta immediately on the arrival of Sir Samuel Canning and Mr. Varley from Catania, in the steamer Ayres, the Chiltern Paying out the shore end from St. George's Bay, Mar sascirocco. The Hawk had, earlier in the day, pro ceeded to Marsascirocco to mark out with buoys the course to be taken in submerging the shore end. Up to the time of the departure of the mails signals continue to be received from ship to shore, shewing that every thing is going on most satisfactorily. The Agnes has gone back to England with Government stores, and the Kai. garoo has left for Alexandria to supply the telegraph ex pedition with coals. The Hawk has returned to her moor ings in the Marsamuscelto harbour. Turkish troops in unusual numbers are being sent to Tripoli from Constan tinople, together with large quantities of warlike stores, It is said that 1,600 soldiers have already arrived, and 6,000 others are expected. Various rumours are afloat os to the 'object of this extraordinary movement of troops, some persons seeing in it an intended expe dition against Tunis, which is backward in paying tribute, while others allege that the Bey of Tunis has applied for military assistrnce from the Porte to aid in collecting the taxes from the tribes of the interior.

WINTER JOURNEY TO ROME AND BACK, WITH AN ACCOUNT OF THE OPENING OF THE (ECUMENICAL COUNCIL, AND GLANCES AT • • MILAN, FLORENCE, NAPLES, POMPEII, AND VENICE. BY WILLIAM EVILL. STANFORD, Charing Cross. Price 4s. ed " Mr. W. Evill has written a lively and agreeable account of 'A Winter Journey to Rome.' His descriptions of scenery in the Alps and of the Italian cities are exceedingly graphic, shewing 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 hiiitory."— 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 more 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 tne very first page we are satisfied with the boojc, 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. Evill, 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. Evil 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 nuous 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. Evil for his pleasant recollec tions."—Lloyd's Weekly News. " 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 togapermission but in friendship and With full authority, by a Protestant 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 bettor feelings, of a Liberal Protestant." — Illustrated London News.

MIDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT. Office, 5, Red Lion-square, W.C., London. —During the last IA 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.

On Tuesday night Mr. Leatham, M.P., addressed his constituents in the theatre at Huddersfield, the Mayor in the chair. Speaking of the Russian question, Mr. Leatham said no valid objection existed to the reconsideration of the Treaty of 1856 ; but the manner in which the modification had been demanded was most objec tionable. We were not, however, going to war on account of the tone of a despatch, nor because a great Power, professed to be civilised, had shewn itself to be a bear. The foreign affairs of this country were in the hands of a man who knew how much dignity there was in forbearance, and knew how to reply to Russian rulers. Let them not forget we had been gradually, systematically, and steadily withdrawing for many years back from every purely Continental quarrel ; let them not forget that the Empire of England was so vast that English treasure and English valour have enough to do to defend her almost boundless frontier. It would always be possible to go to war for the honaur of the country and for the safety of the empire ; but for such a purpose as the neu trality of the Black Sea, for such a purpose as the integrity of Turkey, he would engage to say that it would never again be possible to go to war in this country. Lord Palmerston was no more, and between his Eastern policy and the policy of the future there was a gulf fixed as broad and as deep as that which separated life from death. The Crimean war was fraught to this country with loss of prestige, great loss of human life, great loss of treasure, but against these disasters we might at least set one benefit, and that was that it thoroughly opened British eyes to the hopelessness and thanklessness of that task, and the enormity of assisting in keeping a vast Christian population in subjection to a horde of Mussul man barbarians.

In this concert lot us hope that Italy will sustain a part equal to her musical renown. THE COURIER OF ST. PETERSBURG.—DanieI O'Connell used to boast that he could drive a coach and four through an Act of Parliament. The Czar of Russia has *Acid his hand at driving his Imperial carriage through a Treaty. THE GREAT BUSY B.—The Pall Mall lately contained the announcement that " Count Bismarck was a little un well the other day, but is now himself again." Bizzy is therefore able to attend to his business. 'Wouldn't Paris be glad if he would go about it ? BENEVOLENT NEUTRALS.—First Newsboy : " Er' y' are, sir. Se-cond 'dition. Starvation in Paris."

The arrival of these Circulars concerning base Sovereigns, simultaneously with Gortschakoff's Cir cular on the part of his Sovereign, is a remarkable coinci dence. WHAT PRIDE SWALLOWS.

(From, Fan.) THE WAR CHART.-City Gentleman : " What place are you looking for ?"—Merchant Prince : " Well, I've been reading a good deal lately, and I've heard a good deal about anarchy in France, but I can't find it anywhere on the map." (From Judy.) PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE.—It is a good thing for Englishmen that, though they are afflicted with the worst climate in the world, the workings of the law of compensation bring them all sorts of alleviations. When the weather does its worst, A.nd he is made the victim of real English rains, unmistakable English fogs, and genuine English snows, he has a remedy in real Irish freezes. His Excellency Don Carlos Gutierrez, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Re public of Costa Rica in England, 1 rance, and Belgium, had on Tuesday an audience of the Queen at Windsor Castle, at which he presented to her Majesty the auto graph letter of the President of Costa Rica, accrediting him as minister at the Court of St. James's. FATAL ACCIDENT.—A fatal accident has occurred at Greenore, near Newry. One of four concret e blocks being placed in position on the quay broke from its chains when being lowered, and in the recoil killed Mr. Charles 011ey. contractor. Mr. Howard Foxall, C.E., had both legs fractured ; Mr. Edward Manisty, C.E., and Captain Graham, RN., were also injured. THE SUPPOSED FENIAN S IN MANCHESTER. --At the Manchester City Police-court, before Mr. Headlam, John Welch, who said he was in the employ of the Wear dale Iron CoMpany, Bishop Auckland, and Thomas Boulter were charged on remand with being in possession of 300 cartridges for an unlaw ful purpose. Superintendent Godby said he had no further evidence to offer, and the prisoners were accordingly discharged. THE VOLUNTEER CAPITATION GRANT.—An offi cial notice from the War Office states that all claims for the capitation allowance of 20s. or 305., as the case may be, earned under Articles 259 or 260 of the Volunteer Regulations, should be made in the Annual Returns and Nominal Rolls dated the Ist proximo ; but no claim should be made in the Annual Returns for the special capitation allowance of £2 10s. All claims for the last - mentioned allowance should be made in the Separate Return to be transmitted on the Ist of April, 1871. WINTERING ON MOUNT WASHINGTON.-A. scie --•- tific expedition, with Professor Huntingden, Assistant State geologist, at its head, is to pass the winter on the summit of Mount Washington, New Hampshire, where the velocity of the wind reached 70 miles an hour in one of the storms of October. A room wherein the party are to find shelter has been fitted up very comfortably. The apartment is 20 feet long, by U feet wide, and about nine feet high. Four or five thicknesses of various kinds of materials cover the floor, and the walls are equally well guarded, while two stoves, with 13 tons of coal, are to furnish further means of warmth. THE "NORTH DEVON SAVAGES."—One of the notorious family existing at Nymet Rowland, North Devon, has been again before the magistrates at South Molton. The defendant, William Cheriton, was convicted of assaulting a neighbour and fined. A local journal has published no less than 48 convictions against a the various members of the family during the last few yrs. Now that the winter has set in, the place of their abode—a dilapidated barn, without windows or doors —presents a most wretched appearance. Indeed, people passing it would never imagine that cattle, much less human beings, would ever be housed there. to only 1,000 men, and that it now in tends to bring it up to the normal strength of 5,000 to 6,000, with the view of enforcing payment of the taxes among the nomadic tribes, especially in the direc tion of Benghazi, these tribes having the authority of the Porte at defiance. Several Turkish officers of high rank arrived here a few days ago from Tripoli, and have since left, for Tunis, for the purpose of purchasing some 500 cavalry horses. Quarantine is still imposed on arrivals here from the Black Sea, although coming with clean bills of health, it having been ascertained from inquiry by telegraph at Florence that arrivals in Italy are still subject to quarantine, and should we take it off Italy would not pratique to arrivals from Malta. Vessels arriving from some of the ports of Spain are still subjected to quaran• tine, in consequence of the alarm of yellow fever. We learn by telegraph from Gibraltar of the departure yes terday for this island of her Majesty's ironclad Lord Warden, bearing the flag of the Vice-Admiral Comman der-in-Chief, Sir H. It. /elvertou, 1.C.8. The Cruiser had left for England to be paid off." AMERICAN NOTES. A correspondent, writing from Philadelphia on Novem ber 14th. says :—" M. Treilhard arrived at New York on November 12th, and at once telegraphed the fact to Wash ington, at the same time making an inquiry of the Go vernment as to his reception there. M. Treilhard, if will be remembered, upon the suicide of M. Pre vost Paradol, was appointed by Napoleon the French Envoy to Washington. Napoleon has since been overthrown ; M. Treilhard has received no endorse ment from either the Paris or Tours Government ; and M. Berthemy (Paradol's predecessor) now represents France at Washington. It is understood that the Ameri can Government has advised M. Treilhard that he will not be received in Washington in a diplomatic capacity, and that M. Berthemy will continue there until relieved by the French authorities. The steamer Ontario re cently sailed froth New York for " Cowes and a market," carrying 73,620 muskets, 20,950 carbines, 500 rifles, 500 revolvers, 55 cannon, and 17,785,352 cartridges—total value, $1,853,497—a1l designed for the French army. On the 11th of November, at St. Charles, above St. Louis, where a railway bridge is being built across the Missouri river, a span gave way, precipitating 25 persons into the water, 16 of whom were killed and nine injured. The cause of the disaster was the breaking of a wire rope while the men were hoisting a heavy column. Fourteen bodies have been recovered. Near Columbia, South Carolina, on the 10th of November, a passenger train on the railway from Greenville, Tennessee, fell through a trestle, three pas senger coaches being precipitated to the ground, a distance of 25 feet. Four persons were killed and some 15 injured. The receipts of cotton at the Southern shipping ports are greatly increasing iu amount. Thus for the week ending the 11th of November the receipts were 132,065 bales as compared with 106,406 bales for the previous week, and 94,108 bales for the corresponding week of 1869. The total receipts for the period since the Ist of September are 678,550 bales, as compared with 626,613 bales for the corresponding period last year. The cotton movement this year is thus shown to be in excess of last year, and the large receipts now are in some measure accounted for by the heavy rainfalls recently which have wade the Southern rivers navigable. The exports this year are 281,106 bales, against 258,992 bales last year. THE NEW BISHOP OF MADAGASCAR.—The Rev. R. H. Baynes, Bishop-Designate of Madagascar, is the son of a deceased Baptist minister, of excellent reputa tion, at Wellington, in Somerset. Some agitation has been set on foot in London derry to make Lough Swilly the port of call for the United States and Canadian packets, instead of Lough Foyle. The wreck of the Cambria on innistrahull which island is said to be in the way of steamers coming from America, has been the cause of this agitation. The Eclucati,,n Bill for Ireland is, the Irish Times learns, drafted, and all its main provisions have been decided on. It will be a comprehensive measure, dealing with the question of university as well as other branches of education in Ireland. Considerable changes will be proposed in the Queen's Colleges. These institutions are o be placed on a new basis. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY UNION AND THE Rus- SIAN NOTE. —At the Cambridge University. Union on Tuesday night a warm debate took place on the following subject, introduced by Mr. J. F. Moulton, 8.A., Fellow of Christ's College :—" That in the opinion of this house to go to war with Russia would be not only a blunder but a crime." The motion met with strong opposition, and was eventually lost by a majority of 110 against 41. A. VICAR'S RIGHT TO PEWS IN A PROPRIETORY CHAPEL—The Dean of Arches (Sir R. J. Phillimore) has decided in the case of the vicar of All Saints, Leamington —theßev. J. Craig v. Watson et alios—that a vicar has no prescriptive or other right to an allotment or distribution of seats or pews in a parish church or propriet orial chapel , , as against the interests of his parishioners, the contention of Mr. Craig being that he had, by reason of private sub scriptions to the enlargement of the nave and chancel of the church, and by purchase from his predecessor, the Rev. Robert O'Dowd, acquired, in addition to other claims, a right to let and dispose of a certain number of pews, which were also claimed by the churchwardens on the part of the parishioners generally. CURIOUS SAILORS IN A CUNARD SHIP.—A strange revelation was made before the Liverpool stipen diary on Tuesday, in connection with the Cunard line. It appeared that two drapers' assistants being out of employ ment, had applied to a sailors' boarding-house keeper to get them to sea. He sent one of them to a vessel, and he was rejected because he was not an able seaman. The Cunard steamer Aleppo being about to go on her voyage shortly after, the boarding-house keeper sent the two young men in October to ship as substitutes for hands that were short, cautioning them to say that they were able seamen. It was found on the voyage that they knew nothing of their duties, and on the return of the vessel Messrs. M`lver traced the imposition to a man named Murphy, and had him fined in the full penalty of £lO, or two mouths' imprisonment, for shipping sailors without a licence. The magistrate made some strong comments on the public danger of such a trick. MANSLAUGHTER IN LONDON. Mr. W. J. Payne and a jury were engaged on Tuesday in investi gating the death of the woman Stevens, alleged to have been caused by two women, who were examined at the Southwark Police-office on Monday, and remanded. Mary * Ann Sullivan, of 53, King-street, Borough, said that on 1 Saturday see Alrs. Sheptonirs . St , e a v e i 1 0 1 d s g c e a l 1 . 1 e dat Deceasedher house, went a upstairs, s asked tairs to ,and nd witness heard subsequently Mrs. Shepton trying to push Mrs. Stevens from the landing down the steps, and after- . wards she saw deceased lying at the bottom of the stairs, with Mrs. Shepton and another woman, named Hannah Stedgall, standing. over her. The two tried to lift the deceased, who was Insensible, and, not being able to do so, they dragged her downstairs into the kitchen by her heels. In reply to the Coroner, the witness stated that the women were so desperate that she was afraid to inter fere. At one o'clock witness went down to the kitchen, and found the deceased with her clothes in great dis order, lying on her back, apparently asleep. A basket was over her head, and a chair was on the top of it. Late in the afternoon the two women, Shepton and Stedgall, carried the deceased to the street, and left her lying on the flagstones. She was then carried to the police-station • on a stretcher, and was found dead in her cell in the evening. The medical evidence proved that death had resulted from injury to the brain, that might have been caused by a fall downstairs. The jury returned a verdict. of " Manslaughter " against Anne Shepton and Hannalt.
