Now Published, fi k WINrER 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. BTANFOP.D, Charing Cross. Price 4s. 6(1 " 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 ale 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. Evil 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. " Having read the book through from cover to cover—of itself an eulogium from any reviewer—we could certainly not spare Mr. E yin'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."—Dally 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 arc meditating an Italian tour could not possibly do better than furnish themselves with a copy:"—Bell's Weekly Messenger. - - "bir. 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. 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, ialge 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 glowiihr terms, and the long ceremonies of the opening of the Ecumenical Council are forcibly described. His description of Venice is excellent. Mr. Evil'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 Taiirsh 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, butwill not shock the better feelings, of a Liberal Protestant." — Illustrated London News.

Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature ; also a description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of Appearance, and Localities where found.

"We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and publication of this magnificent work."—Field. " Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work will be invaluable.' Telegraph. " It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species, and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth, with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain many rare speeimens."—Sionciard. "The completion of Mr. Newman' work on the British Moths is a benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a test-book by a high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years' earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento mologist deservedly stands high. . . . We notice also with satisfaction that Mr. Newman 's descriptions, whilst thoronghly scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English. With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour to render them hie-like. . . . . We unhesitatingly commend this volume to our readers. We regard it as “. very useful addition to our library." Land and lValcr, Oct. 9. London—W. TwEEDIE. 337. Strand. W.O. Best Advertising Paper in the Western Counties. N OTICE. KINAIIAN'S Lb. DEPOT.

Mexican advices, vid Habana, state that on the 17th of October President Juarez had a paralytic seizure, " with an a lmost entire suspension of vitality several times in four or five hours, but that at the latest date he was reported out of danger. John Warburton, a manufacturer, charged with having defrauded his late partner ' Mr. Lister, of the sum of £15,000, was cal led u p for trial at the Leeds assizes. on Saturday, but faile d to appear. The court ordered his recognisances to be estreated. At a meeting held in Birmingham on Friday night, to protest against war with Russia, Mr. Jacob Bright stated that his broth er, Mr. John Bright, was wonderfully better, and he hoped before many months he would be taking his usual part in public affairs.. The officials of the American eclipse expedition have been very hospitably received in London.

We learn that his Grace the Archbishop of Can terbury con tinues his journey to Italy in a very satisfac tory ma nner. The party were at Innspruck on the 29th ult. Short stages, occupying but a few hours daily, are taken. Special carriages have been secured on every line of railway, and the hotel keepers vie with each other in their endeavours to promote the comfort of their distin guished guest. THE LONDON SCHOOL' BOARD.—The astonishing success of Miss Garrett was largely due not only to her own personal exertions and those of her committee, but also to the activity of a considerable body of lady can vassers. The defeat of the working men candidates for the School Boards is mainly attributable to divisions in their own ranks. There is now no doubt that Lord Lawrence will be the candidate of the clerical party for the chairmanship of the Board. The talk is that he may be willing to accept the office without a salary, but this is not likely. Mr. Charles Reed is also spoken of as the 'Dissenting candidate ; but there is reason to be lieve that Mr. M'Culla.gh Torrens, who was first in the field, and who is indeed the author of the School Board, will command tho largest amount of support. —London Correspondent of Seolsman. WHISKERS AT THE BAR.—During the hearing of a case on Saturday 'at Leeds Assizes, before Mr. Jus tice Byles, a witness could with difficulty make himself audible. The judge, poking at the witness, evidently observed that he had a profusion of beard and moustache. His lordship then said, "An ornament is now generally worn by gentlemen which' certainly much 'impedes the voice. (His lordship here glanced found the barristers' table, where several flowing beards were, conspicuous.), But I would rather restrain what I was going to say. I was not aware—(a titter among those whom his lordship intended to reprove)—l was not aware; but I hope no gentleman will take my observation as intended for him. I did not mean it, I assure you. (Laughter.) But what I said as to the hirsute ornament is the result of long observation." ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A PRISON WARDER. Shortly after twelve o'clock on Saturday night, as a man named George Burns, employed as a warder at the House of Detention, Clerkenwell, was on his way home, he was set upon by three men, and most brutally the as saulted. One of the men struck him a heavy blow on head, knocking him down and whi le be was lying on the ground he was kicked and ;truck repeatedly by the ruffians. When they left him Burns had just strength enough left to crawl to the Skinners' Arms, in Stunner-street, Clerkenwell, where assistance was given to him. lie was subsequently taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he now lies in a dangerous state, having, amongst other injuries, sustained a severe stab in his scalp. The unfortunate man says that he believes that robbery was not intended, as his watch and money were not touched. He imagines that his assailants had been prisoners under his charge, and that they owed him a grudge. THE HARROW RAILWAY ACCIDENT, On making inquiries at Harrow, yesterday, our reporter learned that the conditions of two at least of the injured persons was such as to cause their relations and friends the greatest anxiety, the worst case being that of the Rev. James Hilcocks, a congregational minister, teetotal lecturer, and a native of Manchester, who is located at Mr. Lander's, Myrtle Villas, Cassia-road Har row. This gentleman, besides being injured internally, ha 3 his leg smashed, and is considered i t a i - nost dangerous state. Mr. Lander gives his house up to the rev. gentleman's wife and children entirely. Professor Balfour Stewart, at the King's [Tend in the town, whose leg is very badly broken, is recovering slowly ; as is also Mr. King, whose head and back and legs are injured. Mr. Lambert, of Northwick, overlooking the scene of the catastrophe, has a house full, besides having sent away three o r four others. The worst patient here is Mrs. Taylor, of Victoria Park, Manchester ; the unfortunate lady was returning home to be confined ; her feet are smashed and legs injured. and Mrs. Lambert, her nurse, speaks of her pain of body and mind as indiscribable. Her life has been several times despaired of, and her recovery is very doubtful. Miss Steeds, of Bicester, Oxon, and Private Yates, of the Bth Foot, also inmates of Northwick, are bad cases likewise, but improving. The wreck was so great that much of it remained behind yesterday • and we should add that much dissatisfaction is expressed' in the town as to the selection of the jury, some of whom, it is stated, !get their living indirectly, if not directly, by the railway. The inquest will be resumed to-day, when some valuable evi dence is expected from eye witnesses. VISIT OF Tim EMPRESS TO THE QUEEN. Yesterday afternoon the Empress Eugenie, acC( mpanied by the Prince Imperial and suite, arrived at the Windsor . station of the South Western Railway. She was at the station at 2.20, and was received on the platform by Lord Charles Fitzroy and the Hon. Harriet Phipps, and pro ceeded through the private drive of the Home Park to the t. Castle. After luncheon with her Majesty and the 1t05 ,, a1 family, the Empress took her leave, returned to the sta tion, and left Windsor at 3.45. MORE LIGHT ON THE METZ TRAGEDY. One of the echappes from Metz writes to a Lyons paper giving an account of the varying feelings of the garrison during the siege. After the fall of the Imperial Govern ment, ho says, Marshal Bazaine remained in the most in comprehensible inactivity. A sortie was expected, and was eagerly desired by the troops, who were weary of their position, They were conscious that such a sortie might save France, for the army was courageous and well disci plined, and . could certainly have forced its pas sage., The marshal was secretly accused of only wish ing 7, to serve the dynasty, and of withholding his support from the new order of things. Miiery increased at Metz and the luxury of the leaders of the army and their staff incensed the troops and the population of the town. While the horses of the staffs devoured 15,000 hectolitres of grain, the citizens re ceived only a slender ration of Back bread full of bran, and the artillery and cavalry horses were sacrificed for want of forage. The soldiers were 'camped in mud and insufficiently fed. They went begging into the town for bread while the pastrycook's shops were full of the favoured officers. At the beginning of October there were rumo urs of capitulation. The National Guard was agitated, and sent its chiefs to General Coffinieres to demand explanations. He replied that lie kneW nothing whatever of it and when the municpal council repeated the same question the General replied he would shoot anyone who dared to speak of capitulation. Marshal Bazaine issued a procla mation in the same spirit,' and as evidence of sincerity made two sorties, which only served to exasperate the enemy, since the advantages gained were never followed up. At last the pear was ripe. Surrender was openly talked of. To prevent the troops from joining the inhabitants they were made to believe they would be sent home. Some few officers tried to organise resistance, but it was too late. "An English journalist, Mr. Robinson, of the Manchester Guardian, foretold the event long before. He told me more than six weeks before the surrender that Metz was sold, but I would not believe it. I did not know that our language was to be enriched .by a new epithet, by side of which the word traitor will lose its force. The name of Bazaine will be for ever infamous." LAW AND POLICE. BENEVOLENCE THROWN AWAY.—Mary Emily Harris a respectably attired woman, about 30 years of age, was charged, at the Westminster Police-court, with stealing 12s. Bd, the monies of a charity. Mrs. Ann Morris, a widow, residing at 13, Cumberland-street, Pimlico, was first examined, and said that the house was a home for deserted women and children, of which Miss Broughton, a lady, residing in St. Georges-square, Pimlico, was the patroness. The prisoner was an inmate, and on Saturday had a holiday, returning drunk, but perfectly sensible ; when she came into the room a sovereign's worth of silver was on the table ; she pushed a parcel across the table, and when she left the 'room to go -to-Miss Broughton's witness missed 12s. Gd. of the money ; on the return of the prisoner she was accused of the theft, and the nurse took her purse out of her pocket. The money was not there, but witness put 'her hand into prisoner's pocket and found the 12s. Gd. loose in her pocket. Prisoner still denied it, and said she could not account for it. No one of the other 20 inmates had been in the room meanwhile, only at the door. Evidence was then given that the pri soner was dismissed by Miss Broughton, but returned at two o'clock on Sunday morning and was given in charge. Mr. Woolrych asked the prisoner whether she were guilty or not guilty ? Prisoner, emphatically : Not guilty, sir. Mr. Woolrych : My duty then will be to commit you for trial. I offer no remarks upon the prin cipal charge, but as to your bad conduct I can only ex press the greatest surprise that you a recipient of charity should have shown such ingratitude. Your conduct de serves severe censure. SHAMMING FITS.—A TROUBLESOME WOMXN.—Mary Rourke was charged before Mr. Chance, at Marlborough street Police-court, with being drunk and disorderly. Police-constable Page, 168, saw the prisoner in Rathbone place on Saturday night apparently in a fit. He lifted her up, and as soon as he did so she abused him, and flourished her umbrella about, and tried to strike him. As she had been drunk and was very disorderly he took her to the station. At the station the prisoner pretended to go into another fit, and on the doctor being sent for, he said there was nothing the matter with her. The prisoner had been locked up several times, and they always had to fetch the doctor to her as she pretended to to have fits. Barns, the gaoler, said the prisoner had been locked up several times for disorderly conduct. The prisoner said that she was tipsy and sometimes had hyste rics. Sergeant Burrough, E division, said that each time the prisoner was locked up the doctor had to be sent for once or twice, each visit costing 7s. 6d., and that the pri soner gave the police a geeat deal of trouble. Mr. Chance, after remarking that the prisoner appeared to be a very troublesome woman, fined her 405., or a month. - A SINGULAR CASE.—The Lord Chancellor had before him the case of Hill v. Hibbett, in which a young woman, called Sarah Angus Hay, claimed to be admitted as one of the heirs-at-law and next of kin of a Mr. John Wight (formerly Hibbett) who died intestate in 1869, leaving real property worth £5,000 a year, and personal property amounting to £50,000. The facts appeared to be shortly . these :—ln 1841 a sister of the intestate, named Harriet Hibbett was believed by her friends to have gone to America, and in 1860 they were informed by an old man, named James Angus Hay, that he was the widower of the Harriet Hibbett, who died about seven years previously, leaving him with one daughter named Sarah. If this story were true, Sarah Hay wonld be one of Mr. Wight's heirs-at-law, and next of kin. Her claim, however, was resisted by a widow named Mary Wight Hill, on the grounds that Harriet Hibbett was not her mother, that she was not born in lawful wedlock, and that the marriage of James Angus Hay with Harriet Hibbett was bigamous and invalid. The case was originally heard be fore Lord Justice James, while Vice-Chancellor , wh o on the last ground alone dismissed the claim of Sarah Angu s s Hay, from which decision an app i eal was now to the Lord Chancellor. The case s likely to occupy several days. TORPEDOES. —It is stated that the Government have ordered a considerable number of torpedoes, and have made large contracts for the supply of field artillery and field battery harness. THE BIRMINGHAM LABOUR REPRESENTATION LEAGUE.—The second annual meeting of the League was held in Birmingham on Saturday evening. The officers for the ensuing year were elected, and it was resolved to enter upon an active campaign during the next year to secure the direct representation of labour in all elective bodies. Mr. Lanyard was re-elected president. During the past year the League had succeeded in returning two working-class representatives to the town council, and its influence was felt in the late School Board contest. SEASONABLE BENEVOLENCE. —During the past month the Metropolitan Visiting and Relief Association, Regent-street, have distributed £1,480 amongst the clergy of seventy-one of the most needy and helpless districts of the metropolis, thus exhausting the funds at their disposal. The clergy are supplied with money, co nditionally that the relief, which is mainly in food: clothing, and fuel, should be given at the homes of the deserving poor by themselves or their unpaid district visitors ; thus each case is known and investigated be fore assistance is rendered, and indiscriminate almsgiving avoided. SHAVING A GALLANT CAPTAIN,—A captain, but recently retired from the 16th Foot, stationed at Ennis killen, and who is residing in the same town as his old regiment, received on Saturday a communication to proceed to Killyhevlin, a residence on the north bank of Upper Lough Erne,about a mile from Enniskillen. He went as requested. On reaching the place he was rudely seized by four or five men, was tied, gagged, and taken to the seat of a well known gentleman. There his head was shaved, and he was soundly thrashed before being releqd. It is said that there is a lady in the case. There as will probably be law proceedings in the matter. IRISII NEWS. Tobin, who was arrested at Liverpool on suspicion of being connected with the murder of Patrick Lonergan, at Cahir, has been brought to Clonmel and remanded for eight days by the local magistrate before whom he Was brought. A resolution in favour of home rule was moved at a meeting of the Cork Farmers' Club on Saturday. In seconding it, Mr. Byrne, president of the Mallow Farmers' Club, said home rule would extinguish discon tent in Ireland, and disarm the animosity shewn by Irish. men abroad towards England. Mr. M`Carthy opposed the resolution, on the ground that the agitation won/a merely lead the farmers into profitless discussions, and had not a single element of success. The movement had failed in the hands of O'Connell, and men of far greater influence than the present agitators, and would not suc ceed now. The resolution was passed. The Kilkenny Journal states that Mr. Agar-Ellis has forfeited the confidence of his constituents because he did not attend the recent Papal sy mpathy meeting in Kil kenny. He wrote a letter of apology, stating that he would be happy to present to Parliament sny petition which might be adopted ; but this is not considered a sufficient excuse for his abstention from more active support to the Papal cause. A deputation of the Irish National teachers waited on Saturday, upon the Irish Chief Secretary to press their claims for an increase of salaries and retiring pensions. They received, it is said, a very discouraging answer. The Rev. Professor Galbraith, of the University of Dublin, read, at the last meeting of the Home Rule As sociation, a letter addressed to himself by the Very Rev. Dean O'Brien, of Limerick, promising the co-operation of the Roman Catholic clergy, not as by authority, but frow his knowledge of their feelings and ideas, in furtherance of the home rule movement. It is not unlikely that such an agitation as that which the Home Rule Society is nursing would, if adopted by the Catholic clergy, become active enough. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. ;! The Royal Engineers at the head-quarters of the corps, t, the School of Military Engineering at Chatham, will shortly be increased by the arrival of the 4th and 18th companies from Bermuda and Canada. The rifle with which a large portion of the troops in Chatham garrison were lately supplied is not the Martini-Henry rifle, though a number of the military are still under the impression that they have got that gun. The rifle issued to the troops is an "improved" Snider. The Irish Times states that the Lord Lieutenant and :he Irish Executive have decided that the militia of that country shall be called out for training in the coming spring. The enrolments and re-enrolments will commence at once. Instructions were issued to the troops at Aldershot on Saturday, directing that whenever the newly-issued rifle is being used on the rifle ranges very great care is to be taken, and extra precautions are to be observed, on account of its great range and penetrative power. The men are to be particularly cautioned that the act of loading puts the rifle at full cock. The Hampshire Telegraph publishes a letter from an officer on board the Jumna, one of the great Indian troopships, who says there is no difficulty whatever in the navigation of the Suez Canal, although care is required and the ship must be nicely handled. When it is neces sary there will not be the least difficulty in such ships as the Jumna carrying a full regiment through the canal as easily as her first passage was made, with scarcely anyone on board. TR k_GEDY IN NORTHUMBERLAND. On Saturday afternoon a gentleman farmer, named Sinclair, was riding on horseback towards Morpeth, and when he was near " the Kennel," a mile and a half out side the town, a labouring man, who was lying in a hedge side, armed with a double-barrelled gun, fired at him, and shot him on the head and in the face. Mr. Sinclair fell from his horse, bleeding and insensible, and his assailant threw down the gun and ran towards the river Wans beck, into which he plunged. The report of the shot attracted the attention of some persons near, and they had Mr. Sinclair removed to a house, where a number of shots were extracted. Mr. Gillard, an innkeeper, at Tyne mouth, an expert diver, went into the Wansbeck after the ruffian, whom he succeeded in getting hold of, but by the time he got the would-be murderer to land the latter was quite dead. The deceased was about 50 years old, and, it is said, occupied a cottage belonging to Mr. Sinclair, who had given him notice to leave. Mr. Sinclair is expected to recover.—Manchester Guardian. The body of the late Sir William Curtis, Bart., has been brought from Nice for interment. Her Majesty's ship Urgent was to have left Ports mouth at daylight this morning for the coasts of Spain and Algeria, with a number.of savans, who have b ‘en appointed to observe the eclipse of the sun on the 22nd inst. We understand that the bulk of the party will proceed to the French colony, as being better adapted for their purpose than Spain. The Urgent will be absent from this country about a month. The Prince and Princess of Wales will to-day proceed to Blenheim Palace on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough. After staying there several days they will return to Sandringham.—The Prince and Princess of Wales on Friday night gave a county ball in celebration of the opening of their new house at Sandring ham. About 300 persons accepted the invitation of their royal highnesses. - - - - - - A. county court judgeship has become vacant, not by the death of Mr. Gurdon, as the Times put it, but by the resignation of another gentleman, whose place will be supplied by Mr. C. E. Coleridge, of the South Wales circuit, who has for some time occupied the post of pro secuting counsel for the Miet at the Central Criminal Court. He is in every way qualified for the post, and has large and varied professional experience. A contemporary says about £4,000 has been collected for the relief the Welsh farmers who were evicted in consequence of the votes they gave at the last election. In Cardiganshire 63 of these political mnrtyrs have been compensated by a grant of £2,090 ; in Car marthenshire, 21 have received £690 ' • in Carnarvonshire, £450 has been distributed among. 25 applicants ; one claimant in Denbighshire has received £l5 ; and two in bxerionethshire £l5O The War Victims' Fund haR been established for the relief of the peasantry and other non-combatant sufferers in France and Germany, and its primary object is to help the ruined, in contradistinction to the wounded of both nations. The fund is distributed under the direc. tion of a committee of the Society of Friends, whose efforts have as yet been chiefly confined to the distribution of bread, salt, and flour in the villages round Metz. The subscriptions now amount to about thirteen thousand pounds. There was a fall of snow yesterday in Lon Jon. The barometer had fallen at all but the western stations, and was lowest in the south. Temperature has changed considerably since Saturday. Winds are very irregular. They have been generally light from north-east since Sa turday, but light westerly breezes have now made their appearance both in Scotland and the south of England. The amount of cloud is very variable over the British Isles, and thick fog is prevalent in several places. The sea is moderate or calm. In the Roman Catholic Chapels on Sunday an Archiepiscopal letter from Dr. Manning was read, describing the invasion of Rome as a vioiation of all right, and an attack which is both sacrilegious and politically unjust. The pastoral further declares, from evidence which the writer says is beyond suspicion, that the Ple biscite was not genuine. Mazzini's plan of Italian unity, the Archbishop thinks, can only be carried out by the destruction of Christianity in Italy. The pastoral invites all Catholics to combine in three days' earnest prayer for the Pope. Dr. Lyon Playfair, M.P. was amongst those who dined with the St. Andrew's Medical Graduates' Asso ciation on Saturday. In responding to the toast of " The Houses of Parliament," he said that the bill of last session to effect a reform in the General Medical Council of the United Kingdom had been shipwrecked ; and he regretted that the offer of the Government to have the subject inquired into by a select committee had not been accepted, as it was not unlikely the Government would have taken the matter up with a view to give effect tq the recommendations of the committee. He had within the last few days, he was glad to say, ascertained that the ; Government did not make such objection to the bringing in of a bill as he had anticipated.
