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 EVIL', STANFORD, Charing CrOss. Price 4s. 6d " Mr. W. Evil has written a lively and agreeable account of 'A Whiter loutney 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 an eulogium from any reviewer—we could certainly not spare Mr. Evill's always animated, often graphic, and more than once or twice really eloquient 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 ci 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. " fir. 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 CEcumenical 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. 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 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 glowinz terms, and the long ceremonies of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council are forcibly described. Ms 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.

The Prussian ambassador in Italy has assured Visconti Venosta that he will not accompany Victor Emmanuel to Rome. THE NEW STAMP ACT.—On the let proximo the new Stamp Act, passed in the late session, will come into operation. The statute contains as many as 128 sections, with a long list of duties set forth, chewing the stamps for all legal and other documents. Among the duties is one of a penny stamp on voting papers. All receipts for £2 and upwards must bear a stamp, under a penalty of £lO. MR. OTWAY AND LORD ENFIELD.—The London correspondent of the Manchester Courier says :—I have not met anyone who can give a reasonable explanation of Mr. Otway's sudden exit from the Foreign office. He is not a man to leave of his own accord, so the preparations for kicking him out must have been very decided indeed before he took the hint. I suspect it is a private difference between himself and his chief. Mr. Otway is just the man to presume beyond his proper functions, and Lord Granville is just the man not to stand any liberties. The public service decidedly gains by the substitution of Lord Enfield, who is modest and unassuming, but clear-headed and painstaking. I happen to know that Mr. Disraeli has a high opinion of his abilities, and there is not a keener and sounder judge of men 'in England than Mr. Disraeli. I remember that when Lord Enfield first came into the House as Mr. Byng he was pointed at as the rising hope of the Whig party, the astyanax of the " family connection," who for a generation or so was to spare them the ignominy of borrowing leaders from other sets. THE AMERICAN ARMY AND NAVY The New Nork Tribune, after a minute summary of the naval and military forces at the disposal of the United States, thus sums up :—" To resume ; we have no army, except a small, scattered force, which could not be spared from its present duty ; we have no breech-loading guns to arm new troops with ; we have no navy worth men tioning; our forts cannot resist the passage of iron-clads, and our heavy cannon are liable to kill more men behind them than in front." NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Orontes, troopship, from Bermuda, with the Ist battalion of the 15th Regiment, arrived at Kingstown on Tuesday. The severe weather and the great fall of snow have stopped nearly all work on the Chatham Dockyard ex tension at St. Mary's Island. In some places the snow lies three or four feet deep, and everywhere snow and frost impede or stop the operations of the workmen. In the dockyard, too, the biting weather greatly retards the work of the artisans employed on the various ships now building, but none of the men have been compelled to cease working. All the drills of the military have been stopped in consequence of the snow lying deep on the parade-grounds. The military authorities have decided up .m forthwith preparing a large numins of _torpedoes. Messrs. Spence layh and Archer,ironfounders and engineers at Chatham, have received orders from the War Office to„prepare the cases for nearly 1,500 torpedoes; among the competitors for this contract were Sir W. Armstrong anu Co. Messrs. Spencelayh and Archer have for a long time supplied such cases for torpedoes as were required for the purposes of experiment by the Royal Engineers at Chatham ; and their success in obtaining this contract will be a boon to Chatham, as it will give employment to a considerable ►umber of extra hands. A most successful trial was made at Portsmouth on Tuesday by a system of steam condensation recently ap plied to the engines of steam pinnaces and other boats at tached to her Majesty's ships of war, which will most probably lead to important results in the future ad ministration of the boat service of the Royal Navy. With the 'excellent lifeboat system of steam cutters, pin naces, and launches on the plans of Mr. J. S. "White, of East Cowes, adopted by the Admiralty for general naval service, the engine power has been on the high-preSsure principle. This arrangement was, of course, at the loss of some power unless some simple means of condensing could be applied ; and this means appears to have been at length found in the " Crighton " condenser, fitted to the .machinery of No. 25 lLoyal Navy steam lifeboat pinnace, tested by the Admiralty officials of Portsmouth Steam Factory and Reserve on Tuesday. The " Crighton" condenser may be described as a 2iin. copper pipe, which receives the exhaust steam from the engines. This pipe passes outside the boat's bottom by the port quarter, running alongside the port keel from aft to forward, and, by a bend in its direc tion, passing through the keel, and returning aft, on the starboard side of the keel. Through the starboard quarter of the boat the pipe re-enters and joins the air- PlnP, the latter now pumping the condensed steam as fresh water into the hot-well. The feed-pumps next come into work, and now supply the boilers with this condensed steam as water worked over and over again, and therefore, act as a means of preventing saline deposits upon the interior surfaces of steam boilers, as also a multiplication of indicated. power by the engines. The committee appointed to inquire into the designs of our ships of war will hold their preliminary meeting at the Admiralty, Whitehall, about the middle of January. _ Forty 12-pounder and a similar number of 40-pounder breech-loading guns have been got ready for service at the Woolwich Arsenal. Sir. J. Heron Maxwell presided on Wednesday over a meeting of the London City Committee of the Captain Relief Fund. It was stated that between £41,000 and £42,000 had been received at Portsmouth, and about £4,300 at the Mansion House. Between £17,000 and £lB,OOO are still required. The tardiness with which the subscriptions had come in, was the theme of much co►n ment, andU strong opinion was expressed that Govern ment ought to aid the fund. Fifty troop horses which took part on the French side at the battle of Sedan have been joined to the Royal Artillery at Woolwich. They formed part of MacMaho►►'s army which escaped the surrender, and, being afterwarls. shipped to England, were purchased at Grimsby, in Lincolnshire, of a contractor, by a►► officer who is con stantly engaged in such traffic on behalf of the Royal Artillery. They arrived at Woolwich on Wednesday, and will help to make up the complement in some of the batteries which are at present short of their number. It is said that Figuerola is to be the fir,t Minister of the new King of Spain. The Epoca declares no ap pointment could be more unpopular. THE OPENING OF PARLIAME NT. — Th e London correspondent of the Manchester Courier says :—" As no one contradicted the Morning Post, it is taken for settled now that Parliament does not meet till February 7th. This is unusually late—later than ever Lord Palmerston ventured to delay meeting his friends. Of course it is hoped that the war will be over before the House of Com mons can have its say upon it. One of the first things Mr. Gladstone will hear will be an accusation of delibe• rately conniving at the destruction of France ; and I am not sure whether public opinion will not confess that there is a spice of truth in it." - HOSPITALS FOR CHILDREN.—The Victoria Hospital for Sick Children at Chelsea has just celebrated its Christmas treat for its juvenile inmates. This insti tution, which has only been in existence a short time, has been very successful in fulfilling the objects for which it was intended—to treat very young children as in-patients and those under sixteen as out-patients, besides promoting the training of nurses. The number of in-patients has risen from forty to over three hundred, and of out patients from five thousand to over twelve thou sand. The Victoria Hospital does not confine its operations to Chelsea, but the western and southern districts of London have a share of its benefits, while patients are constantly brought from the remotest districts of the metropolis, and from all parts of the country. Efforts are made for the purpose of increasing the funds of this useful institution ; but much yet remains to be done in this respect. It is thought likely that the present building of the Hospital will have to give way to the Thames Embankment before long, so that the Institution will be obliged to look out for new quarters. DEATH OF MR. ALDERMAN HARVEY, OF MAN CHESTER.--The Manchester papers record the decease of Mr. Alderman Wm. Harvey, at the advanced age of 'B4. This sad event, which had been expected for several weeks, occurred on the evening of Christmas Day, at the family residence, Acton-square, Salford. Mr. Harvey was one of the founders, and next to the late Nathaniel Card, was perhaps the foremost promoter of the Alliance, and was chairman of the executive committee. For many years Mr. Harvey had been the president of the Man chester and Salford Temperance Union, and had been a total abstainer from all intoxicating liquors for upwards of sixty-one years. He always took the liveliest inte rest in every department of the temperance cause. He was also an earnest and decided advocate of the principles of universal peace, and he had for upwards of 60 years been an abstainer from the flesh of animals, believing that a vegetarian regimen was best adapted to promote health, prolong life, and aid all efforts of social reformers to bring in a purer and nobler condition of human existence and of true Christian civilisation. He was for many years one of the vice-presidents of the Anti-Tobacco Society. As a politician Mr. Harvey was well known as an advanced Liberal, and had, in his early days been equally so. He was present at the Peterloo massacre ; was an ardent advocate for the repeal of the Corn Laws ; and was one of the earliest to join Mr. Cobden in the promotion of the Anti-Corn Law League. In 1832 on Salford becoming a parliamentary borough, Mr. Harvey took a leading and active part in the return of his brother-in-law, Mr. Joseph Bretherton, who gained and held the seat till his death in 1867. Mr. Harvey was born in April, 1787, at Whittington, in Derbyshire. His father was a re tired yeoman, from Gresly, Nottinghamshire. The son, Mr. William Harvey, came to Manchester in 1804, in his seventeenth year, to be apprenticed to Mr. ltailton, to learn the Manchester trade of spinning weaving, and printing cotton. He took up his abode with Mr. Joseph Brotherton, who resided in Salford, and some years afterwards entered into partnership with him, in the firm of Brotherton, Harvey and Company, cotton spinners. When Mr. Brotherton retired from business, Mr. Tysoe joined the firm, which for some years was known as Harvey, Tysoe and Company, and more latterly as Harvey and Sons. Some five or six years ago Mr. Harvey retired from active business, leaving the mill in the hands of some of the sons. In the year 1834, Mr. Harvey was appointed the borough constab'e, and in 1852 the borough reeve of Salford. He was appointed police commissioner in Salford in 1843; and on the incorporation of the borough, in 1844, he was elected one of- the first aldermen, which position he held until his death. Twice he was elected mayor of the borough (1857 and 1858), and was immediately afterwards appointed on the commission of the peace. Mr. Harvey was one of the founders of the Bible Christian Church in Salford in 1809, and was a deacon and active supporter of that church until his death, MR. lIOItAOE GREELEY ON PROTECTIOg , In the American papers just received there is a speech of Mr. Horace Greeley in favour of protection. In the course of his remarks Mr. Greeley said :—While I deny that there is any danger, that there is anythin ; in the nature of war in the policy I have advocated, I do iusi,t that it is a reasonable and proper looking-out for ourselves which every nation should cherish and its statesmen respect. Mr. Munella, the British member of Parliament, held up to our admiration and acceptance the saying of a British friend of his who was speaking to :1 neighbour going off to California, and left him with this injunction, "Be good to yourself, John." I think it was a wise injunction. I think the man of the nation who wisely takes a right good care of himself will not be a bad neighbour, nor a bad friend. , I think that was good sound British advice, and I hope that American statesmen are prepared to respect and profit by it. There is a very old ditty of British origin whereof the refrain runs like this— Vor she is the darling of my heart, And she lives in our alley. I have no hostile feeling to the people who live in other alleys, but I have a more kindly regard for those who live in our alley. Was it not the providence of God to divide men into nations for wise and good purposes ? Has it not been given us this good old maxim, that "blood is thicker than water F' Was it not one that appealed to the universal experience ? No. I feel it more my duty to labour for the advancement and well-being of my oivn country than of other countries, although I desire• also the welfare of all; and I say if each nation will act on the maxim of Mr. Mundella's friend, and be careful to be good to itself, we shall work out the best results for each and for every nation. NEWS FROM AMERICA. A letter from a Philadelphia correspondent, dated December 16th, says :—Geheral Schenck is said to be preparing for his departure for England, but the date has not been fixed, nor has his nomination as Minister to London been yet sent to the Senate. His confirmation is, however, a certainty. His instructions are not yet framed, but they will differ very little from those of his predecessors. The President having . in his Message recommended the creation of a Commis sion to ascertain the amounts and the owners of the Alabama claims, naturally desires to delay the preparation of instructions untill Congress acts on this recommendation, which may affect their character. General Butler introduced some time ago an amnesty measure in the House, and various members, jealous of the prominence he was aspiring to on the subject, urged the calling of a " caucus" to consider the question of amnesty, and if anything was to be done, desired to make it a Republican party measure, instead of allowing the glory to be monopolized by a single man. The " caucus " held two sessions this week, but was a failure. Am nesty finally was brought into the debates of the House by General Butler, who had waited in vain for the " caucus " to decide anything, on December 14 in sisting upon the House considering his bill. The measure proposed a general amnesty and oblivion for all persons who engaged in the rebellion, excepting certain classes. These exceptions included all persons who had been edu cated at West Point or the Annapolis Naval Academy ; all United States Cabinet Ministers, Congressmen, Diplomats, or judges who engaged in the rebellion ; members of the State Conventions that adopted secession ordinances ; Confederate State governors ; Confederate officials who treated Union prisoners with cruelty; persons who joined the rebellion when United States' officials, and who did not or have not since ac counted for public moneys in their hands, or who Wrong fully withheld Government property ; deserters from the United States' army or navy, and " bounty jumpers." The Bill further provides that Congress may still, as now, specially remove the disabilities of any person in any of these excepted classes. General Butler was asked how many persons the Bill would relieve, and answered that it would relieve every one in the South who was under legal trouble or vexation ; every man who had been a postmaster or sheriff, or constable before the war, and had taken the oath to support the Constitution of tits United States. As - to the excepted classes, all they had to do was to come to Congress hereafter and petition for the removal of their disabilities. The bill had been objected to because it was not a general amnesty. General Butler said he was not the most forgiving of men, and he trusted he was not the most vindictive. He could remain unforgiving as long as his neighbours, and he could forgive an honourable opponent quite as easily as his neighbours ; but when he di I forgive he forgave all over, and when ho did not forgive he remembered all over. The House was unable to agree upon anything, and at the close of a long debate, without any vote upon any subject being taken, the further debate was postponed until the 20th of December. The Senate has not yet given a vote upon the measure authorising the Pre ident, as a retalia tory movement upon the Canadians for their interference with American fishermen, to suspend intercourse with the Dominion, and to deny Canadian vessels access to American ports, but it has been reported favourably from the Committee of Commerce, and will, no doubt, pass. Upon this fishery dispute General Butler has pre sented in the House petitions from 2,000 citizens in Glocester, Mossachusetts, complaining of the un friendly conduct of the Canadians, and praying for relief. Senator M'Creery (Democrat), from Kentucky, presented a resolution this week restoring the Arlington estate to Mrs. Robert E. Lee. This estate had been seized during the war, and was used for camps, cemeteries, and freed men's barracks. There is a question as to the right of the Government to seize it for General Lee's treason, as it was the property of his wife, and on this the resolution was based. Senator M'Creery very injudi ciously, however, indulged in a eulogy of General Lee, which provoked the anger of the Republicans, and they attacked him severely, and ended by declining to allow the Senator permission even to introduce his resolution. The House on December 14th debated at length a pro position to celebrate the centenary of American Indepen dence, July 4th, 1876, by an exhibition on a grand scale at Philadelphia of arts, manufactures, and products of the soil and mines, but no conclusion was arrived at. The bakers in Glasgow have raised the price of the 41b. loaf one halfpenny. THE SNOWSTORM IN TILE NORTH.—More snow fell in several of the northern counties on Tuesday, and the average depth is now from six to eight inches. Intense frost still prevails, and the lochs, ponds, and several streams are covered with ice. Navigation in the upper waters of the Tay has been suspended, the river in several places being nearly frozen over.—Scotsman. The death of a millionaire is a i event of some value to the Government. The price of the stamp on which the inventory of George Baird's property, of Stat chell, is written, is £13,400. He leaves £25,000 to chari table objects, £200,000 to each younger son, and 50,000 to each daughter. The eldest son gets the remainder of £918,457 17s. 6d. besides six estates.—Guardian. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—Robert Drak Gooch, late secretary of the Huddersfield College, who is charged with embezzling £l,OOO, the property of the directors, at tempted to commit suicide on Wednesday by stabbing himself just below the heart with a pair of scissors. He had been admitted to bail, but was reapprehended on a charge of embezzlement and perjury. He now lies at the Huddersfied Infirmary suffering from the injuries inflicted. lIOLYROOD PALACE.—The plltlie of Edinburgh will be glad to learn that her Majesty is likely to resume her former habit of spending a day or two in this city on her way to and from Balmoral. Instructions have recently been given to have certain slight alterations and arrange ments made in the Royal apartments at Holyrood, so as to fit them for her Majesty's occupying them in this way in May next.— , :cotsutaa. QUEENSLAND EMIGRATION. The ship Star Queen, 1,500 tons burden, belonging to Messrs. J. and S. Baines, Taylor, and Co., sailed on the 21st December, from Liverpool for Maryborough, Captain L. Evans ; surgeon superintendent, Mr. A. B. Millar ; Mi..4i Da vidson, matron. The Star Queen is the 102nd vessel that has sailed on the land order system of emigration, under the immediate direction of the Queensland Government office, 32. Charing-cross, London. She contains 212 souls, divided into paying, assisted, and free passengers, consisting of 80 members of families, 52 single men, and 80 single females. ADVANTAGES OF SOUP.—PilySiOlOgiCally it has great value for those who hurry to and from their meals, as it allows an interval of comparative rest to the fainting stomach before the more substantial beef and mutton is attacked, rest before solid food being as important as rest after it.
