Illustrated by Edward Hughes, Charles Greene, Clarke Stanton, and others. "Lord Lytton's poetry, as the review of this his poem of `King Azthur' will show, is frequently of a most high and ex ceptional order of merit, instinct with the most delicate appre ciation of human and external nature, fertile with fancy, exalted in aim, excellent in metrical art, and in every respect worthy of himself, which is as much as saying that it is worthy of the literature of his country."—Times, Nov. 9, 1870. "The fable of the poem is undeniably well contrived. The interest is distributed rather than concentrated. There is an inexhaustible fertility of incident ; the adventures of the knights are well told ; and each scene, whether it occurs in the natural or supernatural world, is presented distinctly and effectively. We are left with no cloudy impressions ; everything is bodied clearly forth • and it is plain that the author did not write his poem at random from one line to another, but constructed it according to a complete and carefully worked-out plan."—Times (Second Notice), Nov. 23, 1870.

Now Published, A 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 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 book has the merit of being thoroughly readable."—Pall Mall Gazette. "Raving read the book through froth 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 c ities 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 arempditating 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 first page we are satisfied with the book, and are engrossed with its contents We recommend the entire little volume as L 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 average of such descriptions. We are sure that readers, after a perusal of this book, will have a vivid impression of the scene collec ry d es cribed, and be grateful to Mr. Evill for his pleasant re 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 . wish it The profits are to be given to a charity , and we heartily 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 modem Rome may grieve, but will not • affront, a liberal Roman Catholic, and may command th e assent, but will not shack the bettor feelings, of a Liberal Protestant." — Illustrated London News THE MUTUAL LOAN FUND ASSOCIATION (Incorporated by Act of Parliament, 1859). 4, RUSSELL-STREET, COVENT-GARDEN, LONDON, And 38, QUEEN'S-ROAD, BRIGHTON, ADVANCES MONEY upon personal security, Bills of Sale, Freehold or Leasehold Property, for one, two, or three years, payable weekly, monthly, or quarterly.

Office, 6, 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 'Stahl), Hon. Sec., 5, Red Lion-square, W.C., London ; and at the Union Bank of London (Carey-street Branch), W.C. THE DUKE OF RUTLAND.—We are able to state that his Graoe is satisfactorily recovering from the effects of his recent fall. There were 1,671 deaths registered in London last week, which was 189 below the estimated average. There were 60 deaths from smallpox, 130 from scarlet fever, 12 from typhus, 21 from enteric (or typhoid) fever, 15 from simple continued fever, and 12 from diarrhoea. The mean temperature of the air was 38 . 9 deg., or 29 deg. below the average of fifty years. SOCIAL REFORAL—Liverpool and Glasgow seem fully alive to the necessity of doing all that is possible to suppress the social evil. The subject has received earnest attention of late, and while it is candidly ad mitted that the difficulties in the way of the suppression of the evil appear to be insuperable, it is acknowledged that the rigid enforcement of the law would go far to realise the hopes , of social reformers. Brothels are so numerous in Liverpool and Glasgow that it would require a special surveillance on the part of the police to bring the ir keepers within the reach of th€l law. In Glasgow it is said that one person keeps five brothels and "shebeens." At Liver pool the magistrates seem determined that, so far as they are concerned, such gross immorality shall not be tolerated, and a vigorous onslaught which the police have made upon a notorious dancing and " refreshment" establish ment, where multitudes of prostitutes assemble in pursuit 1 of their wretched calling, is the inauguration of a new magisterial policy. The closing of all such dens would prove one of the speediest and surest means of extinguish ing the evil. ENTIRE WHEAT FLOUR. (CHAPMAN and Co.'s PATENT.)

During the earlier hours of business a firm feeling was prevalent, but the tone subsequently became unfavourable, and the value of foreign bonds gave way. Towards the close a reaction ensued, and the de cline was recovered. In the market for home securities there has been an absence of any important feature. Business in Consols has been only to a moderate extent.

Tile sum of £19,000 has been sent into the bank to-day, and £lOO,OOO in sovereigns has been withdrawn for Lisbon and Brazil, The Clearing House return for the week ending December 7, shows a total of £76,938,000 against £72,314,000 for the corresponding period last year. The return of the Bank of England shews the follow ing results when compared with the previous week :-A decrease in circulation of £30,359 ; an increase in public deposits of £174,455 ; an increase in other deposits of £254,655 ; a decrease in other securities of £107,625 ; an increase in bullion of £509,726 ; an increase in rest of £3,350 ;an increase in reserve of £479,266. The circula tion (including post bills) is now £24,233,816 ; public de posits amount to £6,039,972 ; and private deposits to £18,647,780. The securities held represent £29,314,162, and the stock of bullion is £22,672,493. The rest stands at £3,065,087. The position of the discount market has been unchanged. Capital bas continued abundant, and there bras been only a moderate demand for accommodation. Three months paper has been taken at 21 per cent. An increase in the inquiry may now be looked for, owing to the ap proach of the close of the year, but any advance in the rate is not at all probable, as large supplies of mousy will be thrown on the market at the commencement of the year. Large supplies of bullion have come to hand, and some additions have been made to the stock in the Bank. In the rates of foreign exchange there has been no material alteration. We take the following from a report of the British Indian Submarine Telegraph Company :-By the tariff for messages originally fixed, this company's line was 3s. dearer to Bombay, and 10s. 6d. dearer to Calcutta and all other places in India, than the line through Turkey and Russia. In consequence, nearly the whole of the traffic beyond Bombay went by those routes, and as it was considered that, with equal rates, this company would secure a large share of that business, the tariff was reduced to £2 17s. to Bombay, instead of £3, and £2l7s. to Calcutta instead of £3 10s. 6d. Experience has, however, proved these rates unremunerative, and it is therefore the intention of the directors, at the Telegraph Conference to be held in May, 1871 (if the requisite per mission cannot be obtained sooner), to apply, in conjunc tion with the Indo-European Company, for permission to increase them, and to abolish the ten-word tariff, which was not contemplated when the company was formed, and which has had a prejudicial effect upon the company. The report of the Company shews that during the six months ended September 30th, the gross receipts amounted to £50,158, and the expenses to £16,976, leaving a net profit of 233,182. A dividend of ss. per £lO share is recom mended, which will absorb £29,687, and leave £3,494 to be carried forward. At the annual meeting of the Scottish Union Insurance Company, at Edinburgh, the mid-life policies for the year were stated to have been 659 for an aggregate of £470,775, and yielding in mid-premiums £13,367. A considerable surplus was derived from the fire department. The in vested funds now amount to nearly £1,200,000, The traffic return for the week of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway shew an increase of £1,540 on the corresponding week of last year; the Great Northern has an increase of £3,044 ; the London, Chatham, and Dover, of £228 ; the London and North- Westean, of £8,280; the Bristol and Exeter, of £245 ; the Great Western, of £4,096; the Caledonian, of £4,661 the Lancashire and Yorkshire, of £5,039; and the Great Eastern, of £1,898. All these are cases of increase. LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.—THuRsDAY LATEST PRICES.-AFTER OFFICIAL HOURS, The prices under the lines indicate the business done.
