Now Published, A WINTER JOURNEY TO ROME AND BACK, WITH AN ACCOUNT OF TEE OPENING OF THE ECUMENICAL COUNCIL, AND GLANCES AT MILAN, FLORENCE, NAPLES, POMPEII, AND VENICE. BY WILLIAM EYILL. STANFORD, Charing Cross. Price 4s. 6d " 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 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. " B.aving 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. - - - • - - " 6il. 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 first 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. 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. Evil'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. 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.

Mr. GILIIAN'S, "The Wheatsheaf," High-street •Camden-town: An influential meeting was held on Thursday in the County-hall at Aylesbury, for the purpose of aiding the Diocesan Board in the erection and improvement of schools, towards which they are considerable contributors. The Duke of Buckingham (the Lord Lieutenant of the county) presided. The Bishop of OXFORD moved the first resolution — "That, in order to strengthen and extend the means of elementary education in this diocese at the present im portant crisis, it is essential that the Diocesan Board of Education should receive largely increased support." Mr. J. G. HUBBARD seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. The Ven. Archdeacon BICKERSTETH moved the second resolution, as a natural sequence to the first—" That a special fund be at once raised, to enable the Diocesan Board to meet adequately the numerous applications which it is receiving for aid towards the erection or enlargement of elementary schools." Mr. DISRAELI, who was most cordially received, said — I think there is one particular reason why at this moment it is incumbent on the friends of religion and the volun- My system to niM - a great effort before the termination of the year in support of the schools in which we are so much interested. When the Bill was first brought for ward by her Majesty's Government, which had taken the form of an Elementary Education Act, it really was an Education Bill, and not a mere Bill of Instruction, be cause it provided that religious instruction should be an important portion of the Bill ; and, of course, having to meet those difficulties which always have to be encoun tered when the question is concerned, it was decided, by a bold, and, as I thought at the time, by a happy judg ment, that the character of religious education should be left to the community which established the school. Now, no doubt, when that ' measure was brought forward many Churchmen had scruples on many particular points, but the subject was discussed by those who represented you in Parliament, and who may be particularly described as representing the feelings of Churchmen throughout the country, and they came to the determination that they would accept the principle of the bill ; and, by attempting to obtain certain modifications, waived their objections on many points, and which in waiving they no doubt made considerable sacri fices. I think, under the circumstances, we must consider ourselves, as members of the Church, as responsible for the position in which we are now placed, and can only extricate ourselves from it with credit and effect by coming forward and supporting the Diocesan Board under the circumstances to which I have referred. I quite admit that this is a very critical question to all who are interested not only in voluntary and religious educa tion, but in the establishment and maintenance of schools in the principles of the Church of England. There can be no doubt that the last quarter of the century has been a period of great trial to our Church ; it has been a period of great perplexity, and of some peril. Critical occasions more than once have arisen, produced sometimes by the onslaught of foes, and sometimes perhaps by the indiscre tion of our friends ; but in my opinion one thing has been most remarkable during that period, that on all great occasions there has been a rally of the feeling of the people of the country towards the Church, and that that feeling has not been confined merely to those who are in connection with the Church. Now, to what is that feeling which is so prevalent, to be ascribed ? I, myself, merely ascribe it to this—to the intuitive conviction on the part of the people of England, that it is to the Church of Eng land that they are indebted for the education which they have received. I believe that that is not a sentiment limited merely to the members of the Church, but that there is a 6neral conviction in the con science of the country that had not the Church put itself at the head of the educational movement the results would have been most limited and barren. That is a great position, a great hold for the Church to have upon the best feelings of the country; and in my opinion they should omit no occasion and no opportunity, w.lben such a critical question is now before us, to maintain and increase that legitimate and holy influence. I cannot say that I look forward to the present educa tional measure with feelings of unmingled admiration and confidence. But we are not met here to-day to touch upon the deficiencies of the measure, but rather to develope, if we can, its merits, and the opportunities of beneficial action which it confers. Having said this, I will venture to observe that I do not for one moment take any desponding view, as some persons do, of the state of education that may arise in this country. In the first place, I do not believe that the efforts of voluntary education will be superseded 1:y the success of these rating schools. I share a feeling which is very prevalent among Englishmen, that a rate is a mode of raising money that should always be viewed with suspicion and never with a feeling of affection. That is a sentiment very prevalent in the county of Buckingham, and if we can maintain our schools by the voluntary principle, education will not be unpopular in this county. I look forward to the time when our ele mentary education will be of a richer and of a more varied character than is provided by the present measure. I be lieve that that time is near at hand. I look upon this mea sure as a measure of transition. It will put an end to some difficulties and help us on to some advantages ; but I can not believe that the people of this country will in the long run be entirely satisfied with the present provision for education, fo; they will require richer and more various elementary education, and when they obtain that they will require a religious education ; because, as their intel ligence is expanded and cultivated, they will require in formation as to the relations which exist between God and man, as the most interesting portion of knowledge which they can seek to acquire. It is unnecessary to dilate on the importance of omitting no opportunity of perfecting as far as we can the education of the people of this country. It must not be done by halves. We live in times when the best security of the Stile is in the intelligence of the people. It is the best security for our institutions—it is the best security for our property—it is the best security for that order and civilisation which make life dignified. I am convinced myself, and feel satisfied from the consider able gathering which has taken place in Buckingham shire, that the people are impressed with these important truths, and are prepared to make a decided effort to support the Diocesan Board in assisting those admirable schools which have already been an honour to the coun try, which have already accomplished so much good, but which must be rendered more complete and more advan- tageous. Lord CARINGTON seconded the resolution, and inquired whether the subscriptions would be payable at once or be extended over a period of two or three years. The Bishop of OXFORD replied that it was intended to make the sums payable over two years, and then an nounced that Lord Carington had put dowu his name for £2OO. On the motion of Mr. Du PRE, seconded by Earl BROWN LOW, a cordial vote of thanks was given to the Chairman, and the proceedings terminated. • Thursday was the last day for the withdrawal of nomi nations for the Manchester School Board. There were altogether sixty-seven nominations, but of these twenty three withdrew. The Earl of Shaftesbury has published a letter to caution the public against the belief that the Education Act will supersede the necessity of ragged schools. He appealed to the present supporters of those institutions to continue their bounty for another year, and adds : " Even upon the supposition—and it is a very doubtful one—that a new and effective system can be devised to catch and detain these wild and wandering tribes, a long interval must elapse between the actual state of things and the institution of universal. discipline. During that , interval, were the ragged schools broken up some 30,000 children would be thrown back to their former state of wretchedness, ignor ance, and neglect. Society, depend upon it, would, in a great variety of ways, feel the painful results of so vast a destitution." About 90 persons have been nominated as candidates for the School Board in Sheffield. There seems at present every probability of a severe contest. The Wesleyans have nominated three candidates ; and it is understood that the members of the Church of England have nominated five. Lord Albert Pelham Clinton, youngest son of the late Duke of Newcastle, married on Thursday, at the Spanish Chapel, Frances Evelyn, widow of Captain Edward Stotherd, of the 60th Rifles. After the ceremony the friends present 'at the church breakfasted at the Clarendon Hotel. • . STEALING GOLD RlNGS.—Caroline Hare and Ellen Harwood, two girls described as servants, of Masons' Yard, St. James's, were charged before Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough-street Police-court, with stealing four gold rings and a pair of earrings, of the value of £lO, the property of Mr. John Evans, watch and clock maker of No. 89, Mount-street, Grosvenor-square. The pro secutor said 'the prisoner Hare had formerly been in his service, but was afterwards engaged by a lodger in his house. Some gold rings being missed by him he taxed the prisoner Hare with taking them, and she admitted that she had taken them and secreted some of them in different parts of the house, where they were found, and that she had given one of them to a friend, the friend being the prisoner Harwood. He then gave Hare into custody. He was under the impression that Hare must have been led away by others, as while she was in his service she conducted herself in a proper manner, and he had no fault to find with her. Sergeant Lindsay, 3 C It, said that on going to Mason's yard yesterday evening, and seeing Harwood, and telling her that she had received a ring from Hare, she admitted she had, and that it was in pawn, giving him the ticket elating to it, and he then took her into custody. The ring was produced by an assistant to Miss Isabella Fleming, of Brewer-street, pawnbroker, and it was iden tified by the prosecutor. In answer to Mr. Knox, the pawnbroker's assistant said the ring was pledged in the name of Jane Clarke, but he could not recognise either of the prisoners as the person pledging it. Mr. Knox, after remarking that there had been a good deal of artfulness displayed by Hare, said it was a proper case in which to send the girls to a reformatory, but there was a great difficulty in finding one to send them to, and only the previous day he had great difficulty in getting one ad mitted. There was plenty of room in reformatories for boys,.but not for girls. He would remand the prisoners for a week, and in the meantime he would see what could be done with them. AN EXTRAORDINARY CHARACTER ATTEMPTING TO SHOOT PEOPLE.—Anne Maria Wortley, a woman about 50 years of age, was brought before Mr. Paget, at the Thames Police-court, charged with threatening to shoot several persons, and with sending a threatening letter to her husband. The prisoner is a thin haggard-looking woman, and she complained of ill usage, which her appearance seemed to justify, for there were bruises on her head and scars on her face, the result of old blows and wounds. She bought powder and shot last night at an oil shop, presented a loaded pistol at several persons, and fired a pistol loaded with powder and a percussion cap on the lock only at a man named Piper, a mechanic, and put 2d. into his hand to buy more powder and shot, which he refused to do. After many eccentric vagaries, she was given into custody. She threatened to blow Piper's brains out, and it was only by a clumsy mistake the pistol she fired off close to his head did not contain shot. The husband of the prisoner sought protection from her violence of Mr. Lushington on Tuesday evening, and a warrant for her apprehension was granted. He now said that she had ruined him by her intemperance and eccen tricities. She retorted on him with an acoount of ill usage and tyranny. He produced a letter, of which the following is a copy, and said he apprehended personal violence from his wife, who had led him a most dreadful life : " You villain, there is nother of your villins family fallen. Your brother William was robing the diggers of their gould, and they wounded him in Australia ; this comes from your mother. There is another villin to fall and that is yourself some breaks their necks and some die in the workus i have got a home and happy one throw God and not depending on upon to work for a b—y coward and as you used to call 'me hope your other woman is called to demeane theirselves than you adulterous wretch God's vengeance would' fall upon you you suner or father he is slow but he is suer ask yourself what you have done and what will be your ansur in the nextlworld if not in this two and mind my will is grate there now Remember the day of Retribution will come and then what will be your defence to me but you mean besure this is your wifes wishes Annie *Marie." Mr. Paget remanded her for inquiry into the state of her AN IMPORTANT DECISION UNDER THE REFORM ACT.—The Court of Common Pleas has decided, in the case of Cross v. Alsop, that joint occupiers of a house, whose names were all entered in the rate-book, although the landlord paid the rates, were not entitled to the franchise by virtue of such entry ; but that the meaning of the Reform Act was that each occupier must be separately rated in a separate sum (instead of the landlord paying a lump sum for the house), in order to confer the franchise. This was in the absence of an agreement between the landlord and the overseers for compounding, under Mr. Goschen's Act. This case will govern a num ber of othcrs all over the country. A DIVORCE SUIT.—In the Divorce Court Lord Pen zance tried the cause of " 011ard v. 011ard." The respon dent was a surgeon practising at Ryde, and was mar ried to the petitioner at Wisbeach in 1850. On the night of the marriage it was alleged ho stayed up drinking with some companions till two a.m. He frequently, it was also stated, struck his wife, and in consequence of his misconduct she became deranged in her mind, but has now recovered. He forbad the servants to attend to her orders, and used to spend more of his time, the evidence went to shew, with a Miss Brant than with his wife. Proof was adduced of adultery, and a decree nisi for a dissolution of the marriage was granted. FATAL GUN ACCIDENT.—A gentleman farmer named Holloway, of Soar, near Newent, Gloucestershire, went out shooting with some friends. On his return home his foot slipped at the step of his own door ; both barrels of his gun discharged their contents into his abdomen. He died on Wednesday night. LOST AND FOUND.—The Hon. T. C. Everts, of Washington, who was separated from the Yellow stone exploring party, has been found. He had. wandered for 39 days in the mountains and wilder nesses of the Yellowstone country, and when found, on the 16th of October, was unable to move, and could scarcely speak. He was found by a searching party on the summit of the first big mountain beyond Warm Spring Creek, about 75 miles from Fort Ellis, Mon tana Territory. He says he subsisted upon one snow bird, two small minnows, and the wing of a bird which he found and mashed between two stones, and made some broth in a yeast powder can. This was all, with the exception of thistle roots (of which he had a fair supply), he subsisted on. •He lost his mare, saddle, gun, and canteens the first day out, and was left without fishing tackle or matches ; but, after making his bed over warm holes for several nights, he thought he might pro duce fire from his opera•glass, and did so. He lost both his knives. During his wanderings he saw no human being, neither whites nor Indians, until found. Though very low and feeble, it was believed with care he would re cover. -- --- A PRISONER FROM THE BALLOON.—The follow ing is a copy of a letter from Mr. Worth, one of the gen tlemen who were taken prisoners by the Prussians in attempting to escape from Paris by balloon :—" The Prison, Versailles, Nov. s.—On Thursday, October 27, I left Paris by balloon, in company with three others. We left with a north-east wind, which would have carried us into Belgium, but the wind changing to direct east, we were carried on to the Prus sian lines. We left Paris at two o'clock in the after noon, and as at half-past four it was almost dark, we were obliged to come down to earth. Just as we emerged from the clouds, at about 250 yards from the ground, we were welcomed by a shower of Prussian bullets, some of which pierced the balloon ; and, in order to avoid being hit, we were obliged to come down at a tremer dons pace. When we touched the ground there was, of course, a ter rible shock. I fortunately did not lose my presence of mind, and held on by the cords, so that I did not feel it so much in jumping from the balloon. However, I was thrown some 30 feet into the air, and fell all of a heap, without being hurt in the least. Two others jumped• after me—Mr. Udin and Mr. Cuzon—neither of them. hurt ; the fourth, however, lost his presence of mind—a Mr. Manciare—and did not follow our example, so that he was carried away in the ballo on. Durin g a l l this, which only occupied some seconds, the Prussians still continued their firing, and it is only by a miracle that we escaped. On waving a handkerchief, however, they at last ceased, and we were made prisoners. We fell just outside Verdun, which is still being defended by the French. From Verdun we have been brought to Ver sailles (it has taken us eight days to get here), and although prisoners we have been well treated. As none of us have any political mission, it is possible they may give us our liberty in a few days; but there is just a proba bility of our being sent into Germany as prisoners of war. In this latter event you won't hear from me for some time. The reason for my leaving . by balloon was that I wanted to get home and to my business." iis sleepless, refreshing or sleep. whose nights No o rADVERTISMENTJ — HoIIoway ' s Ointment and Pills.— In health or disease nothing contributes so much to our w arsreonpaslosnedg in feverish dreams, which generally arise from a disordered re e m il a -b in e s in w g el as l wh soundo state of the digestion.
