The Western Morning News, in a leader, says :—The rough weather of the present week has afforded an oppor tunity for observing 'the performances of the latest addi tions to .our ironclad fleet. The result is,not cheering, and enforces the propriety of that careful inquiry as to the stability of our ironclids which will shortly be instituted. Although by a, special Admiralty order each of the ironclad ships fitted with compartments for water ballast have taken in about three hundred tuns of water,.the'afuount of roll observed in comparatively calm water off the harbour has given rise to serious forboding& The: Invincible, when moved off Devonport on Sunday; roiled eight degrees, the foot of her accommOdation ladder being often eighteen inehes under water. Tne Vhng,uard, another vessel of the same class, equally mis behaved herself, and while making trial on the measured mile rolled so much when turning that one of her guns broke adrift, and a man was severely hurt. At another turn the roll threw a grating out of the top which in fall ing smashed one of the cowl heads. These mishaps are so ominous that it is hardly likely either of these ships will proceed to sea until their actual capabilities are ascertained. It will be a great misfortune if these fine and powerful vessels prove to be as unsafe as the Captain, or even the Wyveru turret-ship, which has never yet been a night at sea. An address to the Pope from the Catholic people of Great Britain is being sent says the Tabld to every church and.mission iu Great Britain and Ireland for sLnatures. The address contains the following paiagraphs :—" In the moment of Your grief it is not possible that Your children should be si!ent. NVe throw ourselves at Your feet to join our hearts with Yours, and to offer You a devotion—to which w e have been bound by every act of Your glorious Pontificate—but which is made tenfold deeper and more eernest now when you area Prisoier in the Lord for our saes.' It is the one joy of so cruel a . sorrow that it mast perforce bled the hearts of all Catholics to You and to each other with a vigour of unity which will remain when this perseentioe has passed away. The Governments of Eueope have hitherto been silent to our sorrow, and if they shall not unite to undo this great wrong and sacrilege, it will be to their own deep disgrace, perhaps to their ruin. While they have been traitorous, even to themselves, You alone, Holy Father, have been bold in the cause of order, and have been patient to suffer without yie!ding where You have been poWerless to repel. For this all the human family, of whatever creed, has deep cause of thankfulness to Your courage. We, Your children, have other causes than this.---We thank You that You yet hold Rome for Your own, though for the moment robbers have usurped Your right. You hold it for God, and, so holding it, You proclaim to the world--alone in the world—that God has chosen things sacred to Himself, and that on these sacred things no man may lay his hand. You hold is for the Priesthood ; and You proclaim to the world . that the Servants of Heaven cannot be subject in their work to the powers of earth. You hold it for us : for Rome is ours, and each Catholic is a citizen of Rome. Holy Father, prostrate atYour feet we dedicate ourselves to Your cause—to pray for You—and to work for You, and never to cease to -labour by all means permitted to con science and honour until once more we can gather round You-rulingineYour own free city Bishop and King-of Rome and of the States of Rome." In another portion of its. issue, the 'Tablet says : "'There has been a meeting of Catholics at Geneva, under the presidency of the Most Rev. Dr. Spalding, Arch bishop of Baltimore, and Mgr. Mermillod, Bishop of Geneva, to protest against the sacrilege committed at Rome, and to take counsel as to the duties which the course of ' events impose upon Catholics. The appeal published by this meeting says that the bishops assembled at Rome in 1867 declared that, in the present state of the world, the Temporal Power is neces eary to the free exercise of the Spiritual Power. . There fore to invade the Temporal Power, and to take it away, must be to aim a blow at the interests of Catholics throughout the world, and to trammel the independence of the Spiritual Power."

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. " Having read the book through from cover to cover—of itself air 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'il 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. - - • • EUROPEAN A_SSITRA .

Mr. Eviil's book is not the charm of novelty, and 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. EOM 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 Times says :—" We have received from Mr. E. J. Reed, the late Chief Constructor of the Navy, a letter upon the loss of the turret-ship, captain which, if it had but been written with a little more consideration for the exigencies of our space, we would willingly have published. We really, however, cannot afford five columns for the dis cussion'even of so important a question ; but, as we think Mr. Reed's views should be made known to the public, we compress their substance and purport into the subjoined re marks. Little preface, fortunately, is here required. The Captain was designed and built in direct defiance of official opinion by an enthusiastic projector and a private firm, in order to shew that the Admiralty authorities were in the wrong, and the advocates of the new system in the right. That system consisted in the com bination of a low freeboard with good sailing power, so that a vessel might have her sides only a few feet above the water, carry her guns in turrets, and yet be a seaworthyi cruiser. The Controller's Department denied the possibility of com bining these qualities in a successful specimen of naval architecture. Captain Coles, the inventor, declared the thing could be done if he were but allowed fair play in doing it, mid so, in deference' to outside opinion, the Captain was at length constructed, not in a Government yard, but in a private yard ; not under official superinten dence, but under that of the designer and builders alone. When built, she was sent to sea, and on the night of the 6th of September a summer squall sent her. to the bottom. Since then it has been alleged that the official authorities must be held responsible for the loss, inasmuch as it was their duty, on receiving the ship from the contractors' hands, to ascertain her stability by experiments of their own, and instruct her commander accordingly. It is further alleged that these experiments were actually made, though after much delay, but that the result was not communicated, 'as it might have : . been, to the captain of the unfortunate vessel. These are the points to which Mr. Reed addresses himself. In refuting the chief of these allegations, Mr. Reed, with a not unnatural decision, declares that the Captain, to be built as she was built, never ought to have been built at all, nor can we deny that up to a certain point his argu ment is substantially sound. The authorities responsible to the nation were placed in a position virtually depriving them of responsibility and authority together. They had refused distinctly to undertake any such experiment as was advocated by Captain Coles. They declared, more and more distinctly as the principle was considered and the plan advanced, that success was impossible, and, indeed, it was on account of their invincible `prejudices' on this point that the entire work was removed from their control. They were answerable for nothing but the mere confor mity of the work and materials with the sti pulations of the contract. The very object and intent of the arrangement was to produce a ship in avoidance of, not to say in opposi tion to, the control which the professional advisers of the Admiralty were accustomed to exercise.' All this is quite true, and it does result in substance that the authorities could scarcely have interfered at any point of the experi ment without exposing themselves to misconstruction and probable distrust. But, on the other hand, how was the 'value of the turret principle to be otherwise ascertained? Rightly or wrongly, this principle is stiticoneidered by some of our best seamen as giving the true type of the fighting ship, .and if - the 'Admiralty would not take it up what were its advocates to do? These, however, are the •views put foith by Mr. Reed. We omit--as we must omit . something—his retorts on his personal opponents, but we have not; we . think, excluded from this abgtract of his statements any allegation or opinion bearing upon the. subject itself.' The Trafalgar, naval cadet training screw line-of-battle ship, Captain Thomas Bridgman Lethbridge, has com pleted the required alterations at Portsmouth Dockyard for the improvement of the ventilation between decks, and will sail about Wednesday next on her first seagoing in struction cruise. Her course during the cruise will include ; Teneriffe, Gibraltar, and Lisbon. The Thistle, 4 guns; double screw composite gun-vessel (the vessel on board of which an awful explosion occurred L about twelve months since, whereby 11 persons lost their lives), was commissioned at Sheerness on Wednesday. 3 last , by Commander IL K. Lect, for service in the Per sian Gulf, as a surveying vessel. The Magdala, 4 guns, double screw armour-plated turret-ship, 2,107 tons, `250-horse power, built at Black- I wall for the defence of Boinbay, is so far completed as to 2 leave for Sheerness, which port she reached on Monday S last. She is under orders to be taken out to the Nore for an official trial over the measured mile. Lieutenant-General the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scarlett I. reviewed the troops at Aldershot on Thursday. The 2 2nd Middlesex Militia, under Lord Enfield, took part 3. in the evolutions, and their excellent marching past, and the steadiness and precision of their evolutions, drew forth expressions of approbation from Sir James Scarlett and 1 all the officers of the staff. 2 In consequence of the large number of gentlemen, who have passed for direct commissions, now waiting for their appointments, there will he no examinations for admission to the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, until further 1 notice. 2 . On October 6th, the corner stone of the Memo rial-hall at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, was laid. This hall is to be built in memory of the students and graduates who fell in the late Civil War, and the 1 fund subscribed for the purpose amounts to $262,000. 2 Governor Claffin, of Massachusetts, Senators Sumner and. 3 Wilson, General Meade, and other distinguished gentle men, were present at the corner-stone laying. STEALING TIMBER IN KENSINGTON-GARDENS. THE DANGER OF KNOWING TOO MUCH.—TWO boys, named Dominick Sweeney and James Macarthy, were charged at the Marlborough-street Police-court, before Mr. Knox, with stealing some timber in Kensington-gardens, the property of Her Majesty's First Commissioner of Works. Police-constable 463 A said that about nine o'clock that morning he saw several lads running away with pieces of timber cut off the trees in Kensington-gardens ; and on going after them he met the prisoners with piece of timber about six feet long on their shoulders. As soon as the prisoners saw him they dropped the timber and ran away, and he went after them and took them into custody. Macarthy : The constable asked us questions coming along, for the purpose of making us criminate ourselves. Mr. Knox : Criminate yourselves I Why, you are evidently a young thief from your language, and I shall remand you both, that we may see who and what you are. Elisha Butler, of Caroline-street, Bayswater, was also charged with stealing, timber. in Kensington Gardens. In this case Sergt. -Martin, A Division, saw the prisoner in possession of about a cart load of timber off the trees in Kensington Gardens, and on telling him that he should take him into custody for stealing it, he coolly replied, " Oh, then I'll take it back again." The prisoner knew that he had no right to take the timber, as one of the park superintendents told him it was nut permitted. Committed for a month, with hard labour. A BRUTAL IRISHMAN.—John Carney, an Irishman, aged 62 years, of No. 45, Star-street, St. George-in-the- East, was charged before Mr. Paget, at the Thames Police-court, with assaulting and wounding Sarah Flynn, of the same place. The parties met in a beer shop on Wednesday night, and quarrelled about their hop experiences in the county of Kent. The quarrel. came to a termination in the beer house without bloodshed, but on reaching home it was renewed with great force and fury, and the prisoner swore by the " holy poker" lie would extinguish her if she did not hold her tongue. She continued to abuse him, and he took hold of a kitchen poker and struck her a tremendous blow on the head, inflicting a severe wound, from which she bled profusely. He 'fled, and was subsequently arrested by the police. Dr. John Kiermap, a physician and assistant to Mr. Daniel Ross, divisional surgeon of police, 175, High-street, Shadwell said the complainantllad received a contused and lacerated wound, extending to the bone. The iron poker pro duced would have inflicted such a wound. It was not dangerous. The prisoner howled for mercy, and said lie was a very old and infirm man. Mr. Paget—You are a very wicked and brutal old man. It is very fortunate you are not here on a charge affecting your life. You might have killed her. The doctor says the wound is not dangerous, and I convict you of an assault, and sentence you to six months' imprisonment, and hard labour. THE ASSIGNMENT OF MILITARY PENSIONS.— A cause involving an important public question was brought be fore Mr. Bloxham, chief clerk in Vice-Chancellor Bacon's Chambers, it being instituted by the Gresham Life Assu rance Company against a retired military officer, named Crossman, for the purpose of deciding the question whether an Assurance Company, as the assignees of a military pension, can enforce the payment of the pension against the Secretary of State, and whether in fact, a Government pension can be legally assigned at all. The defendant's solicitor stated that the question was of such public importance that it had been determined to entrust the preparation of the answer to the suit to Sir Roundell Palmer, from whom it would be submitted to the Council for India for approval.—The Chief Clerk said he did not think it advisable to push with undue haste a case involving a question of such broad public importance. To facilitate its preparation, therefore, he would enlarge the time for the answer to the 15th November. THE HALFPENNY POSTAL CARDS.—At Bow-street, a gentleman applied to Sir Thomas Henry (who has resumed his magisterial duties after a vacation of .several weeks) complaining of two indecent postal-cards received by his sister and another lady. The person who had sent them sheaved the cards previously to post ing them to a gentleman, who advised that they should not be forwarded. Upon each card was written some poetry, and.on reading the first word on every line down wards a question of a very indecent character was formed. The cards had been delivered by• a regular letter-carrier, but there was no obliteration of the Queen's head to shew that they had pasSed through the Post Office. On ques tioning the authorities it was alleged that the cards were so numerous, and the pressure of time so great, that it was very probable they had been despatched without the usual office seal. The ladies objected strongly to the circumstances being made public, and consequently did not wish to attend to prosecute. Sir Thomas Henry ob serVed that it was a very important matter, and he could grant a summons for indecent libel, but in that case the ladies' presence would most certainly be required in sup port of the charge. The applicant said he was quite sure the ladies would never consent to this course, and he had therefore, no other alternative than to refuse to take out the summons. MANSLAUGHTER.—The man Slater, who attempted to murder his father-in-law in Newcastle, has been tried at the quarter Sessions for that town. Mr. Tulip, the pro secutor, was going home one evening, and while passing the back of Slater's house he was stabbed by some one on the side of the head, behind the right ear. He turned round on his assailant, caught him by the collar, and then discovered that it was Slater, his son-in-law. The jury found him guilty of unlawfully wounding—the charge on which he had been committed—and the Recorder passed the highest possible sentence, viz.,five years' penal servitude. FIRE AT SIIEFFIFLD.—The pumping engine house of the Dronfield Silkstone Coal Company, Dronfield, near Sheffield, together. with a quantity of very valuable machi nery, was destroyed by fire on Thursday. Besides the damage done by fire, great loss will ensue indirectly from the accumulation of water in the pit. _ AUTHENTIC RECORDS OF THE \VAR.—We have received from the central directory at Berlin the folloWing statistical account of the sick and wounded received into the hospitals from the beginning of the war up to the evening of • September 28. At this time the number of sick and wounded had reached 54,450. Reports had been received from 1,188 lazareths, of which 48 were field and war hospitals, the remainder being reserve lazareths and private hospitals. Out of the total number, 4,597 had become capable of removal as convalescents, or had been removed to hospi tals at a distance or by their friends. The number of those who remained in the field or were left at the stations as cured, was 3.808 ; of these, a small portion appear to have been invalided. There were 518 deaths in the laza reths. The percentages were, according to the numbers above given, as follows ; convalescents, 8.44 ; cured 6.90 ; invalided, 0.08 ; died, 0.95. — British Medical Journal.
