The November Number will show subscribers that the Literary Staff of this periodical is quite prepared to encounter all the enemies of the faith, Whether on Geological and other Scientific questions or Biblical Criticism, or on the subjects assailed by the stump and revolutionary oratory of the mere atheistical and blaspheming demagogue, and by which many of the humbler classes are so much misled, and that the Colensos, Iconoclasts, and other enemies without, or heretics claiming a position within the Church, will be met with direct and vigorous refutation. We are promised a special set of strictly Scientific Articles on Geology, Natural History and Astronomy, &c., in refutation of scientific error in connection with Theology, and also on questions raised by Dr. Colenso and others, which have not yet received competent answer.

Now Published, 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. 6d • " Mr. W. Evill has written a lively and agreeable account of 'A Winter Jousney 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. - - "Raving read the book through from cover to cover—of itself an eulogium from any reviewer—we could certainly not spare Mr. E vill's always animated, often graphic, and more than once or twice really eloquent descriptions, any more than we could spare his account of the wonderful pageantry of the Papal func tions in Rome, and of the marvellous masterpieces in sculpture and painting scattered among the Palaces and Basilicas. . . . As a graphic delineator of the superb scenery and the renowned cities through which he made this winter journey, he has acquitted himself admirably well."—Sun. " The author has evidently a feeling for the beautiful and the picturesque, and describes what he saw in forcible and some times eloquent language. .. . Notwithstanding his well worn subject, Mr. Evill has produced an agreeable little volume, which may not unprofitably detain the reader."—Daily News. - - - - " There is no pretension whatever about the book of travels, and though it relates very little of what is new, it tells of nothing that is uninteresting, vapid; or dull. To the truthfulness of its descriptions of places and works of art we can thoroughly testify, and assure our readers that such of them as are meditating an Italian tour could not possibly do better than furnish themselves with a copy."—Bell's Weekly Messenger. " 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 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 tire very first page we are satisfied with the book, and are engrossed with its contents We recommend the entire little volume as well to readers as to intending tourists in search of continental information."—News of the World. " The ground was all new to Mr. Evill, and, in spite of the season of the year, he saw it under peculiarly favourable cir cumstances. He has an eye quick to see, and a pen that enables him to tell right pleasantly, and not a little vividly, what he has seen. . . . . Mr. Evil was fortunate enough, in company with his friend, Mr. Charles Kent, the poet, to see the pro cession in St. Peter's, on the opening day of the Vatican Council. His description of it is very graphic."—Western Morning News. " Italy has been described to the reading world again and again, and, therefore, the charm of Mr. 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 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.

Part X. new ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had, "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."—.Daily 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 specimens."—Standard. "The completion of Mr. Newman' work on the British Moths is a benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste folly 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 thoroughly 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 life-like. . . . .. We unhesitatingly commend this volume to our readers. We regard it as A very useful addition to our library." Land and Water, Oct. 9. London—W. TWEEDIE. 337, Strand. W.O. Best Advertising Paper in the Western Counties. THE WESTERN MORNING NEWS.

ABRIDGED . PROSPECTUS. This Company has been formed for the purpose of establish ing a powerful line of steamers from London to the Cape, Algoa Bay, and Port Natal. The steamers are intended to sail once a month, or oftener if required, from London, and will call at a port in the Channel to embark passengers, calling also at Madeira and St. Helena, outwards, and homewards at Capetown, St. Helena, and Madeira, performing the voyage, it h.* expected, each way in 35 days, under steam. The Eastern. Province of the Cape Colony has long expressed a wish that a good line of powerful steamers should be established to and from London, on which they could rely for regularity, speed, and accommodation. The following ' respecting the export of wool alone to London from the Cape Colony will shew the rapid stride in the commerce of the colony, and the opening for further steam communication : In 1834 the Cape Colony exported 694 bales Wool. • 1868 PP 141,916 P. The above does not include exports from Natal. A large intercolonial trade is carried on between Natal and the ports in the Cape Colony, which it is intended to take ad vantage of, besides the direct cargo for London. Promises of support have been given by shippers of wine from the island of Madeira. It is expected that the recent discovery of diamonds in the colony will also add considerably to the usual passenger traffic, for which the steamers of this Company will be admirably con structedrand will add materially to the profits of this under t eking. • OWing also to the recent improvements in machinery for the saving in the consumption of fuel, a considerable reduction will tie effected hi the usual working expenses of steamers. Careful estimates have been made of the probable expenditure • and earnings of the steamers, and from the large support that has been promised, both here and abroad, the directors confi dently anticipate that the shareholders will receive a handsome re I,uneration for their investment. The Directors and their friends have already agreed to take a large number of shares in this undertaking. No promotion money has been, or will be, paid for the forma tion of the Company. Applications for shares to be addressed in the accompanying form to the managers, N. Griffiths, Tate, and Co., 4, East India avenue, but no application will be considered unless adeposit of £2 for each share applied for shall have been previously made with the bankers of the Company.

REFUGES 'FOR HOMELESS' AND DESTI-: TUTE CHILDREN and CHICHESTER TRAINING SHIP.---Upwards of 500 Boys and Girls are now being supported in these Refuges and Ship. Owing to the benevolent and praisewcirthy exertions which have for several months been made to aid the sick and Wounded in the present War, the funds for the support of these Refuges and Ship have decreased considerably.

Martin " was resumed yesterday before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. The Lord Chancellor, Lord Chelmsford, the Archbishop of York, and the Bishop of London were present.—Sir John Karslake, Q.C., continued his address on the part of the appellant. The learned counsel argued the impossibility of the girl Parry's statement being true, and illustrated his remarks by a model of the Lodbury rectory house. He drew their lord ship's attention to the contiguity of the various rooms in which the offences were alleged to have been committed, and submitted that the pretended secrecy stated by Parry was utterly impossible. Yet it was upon such evidence that the official Principal of the Court of Arches formed his judgment. The course which Mr. Jackson adopted when Parry first complained of illness was such as told strongly in his favour upon that occasion. Dr. Griffin accused her of being enceinte, and Mrs. Jackson being made acquainted With the fact, gave the girl notice to leave. She said nothing then to incriminate Mr. Jackson, which, if the rest of her story was true, she would have done. After having occupied the attention of their lordships for some time by reading extracts from the affidavits, the learned counsel submitted that he had shewn that the opinion of the Dean of Arches, with regard to the straightforward ness of William Joy as a witness,, was not supported by the evidence. The learned counsel's address not being completed at four o'clock, the further hearing of the case was adjourned. THE CHINESE DIFFICULTY. The Foreign Office telegram from Mr. Wade announcing that military force will probably not be required anywhere in China to compel the observance by the Chinese Govern ment of its treaties with foreigners relieves us for the moment from the fear that we might have two wars on our hands at once, one in Europe and one in Asia. Pi e cautions had already been taken by :our Government, in view of the probability of another Chinese war, to protect foreign residents by strengthening the garrison of native Indian troops which we maintain at Hong Kong ; but now that the Chinese are armed with breech-loading rifles and im proved artillery, it is questionable whether we should have found it easy to overcome them without employing Euro pean troops. We may be thankful, therefore, for such a termination of the dispute as saves us from the necessity of sending any English regiments to China ; for if we have a war with Russia we shall not be able to spare a man of the European garrison for service out of our own dominions in the East. Cannot the missionaries in China be persuaded to restrain their zeal for a year or two, till we can again afford to lend them an army to avenge mas sacres of their converts ?-21fanchester Guardian. ATTEMPTED MURDER AT BIRMINGHAM. A young man named John Baylis, an electro-plater, was charged at the Birmingham Police Court on Monday, with stabbing his mother-in-law, Anne Humphreys. The prisoner seems to have arrived at his home about mid night, on Saturday, in a state of furious drunkenness. His wife, who has only just been confined, was asleep in bed. He went upstairs, and began abusing her. Not content with this he dragged the poor woman roughly out of bed, and would have beaten her but for the timely in terference of his mother-in-law, who was in the room. Irritated with the latter's endeavours to shield her daughter, he snatched up a knife, and stabbed her in the back, the blade passing through the ribs very near the spine. Sbe had to be taken to the General Hospital, where she still lies in a very dangerous state. Prisoner was remanded for a week to see if the woman could recover. ARREST OF SUPPOSED FENIANS. A Manchester correspondent telegraphs that two Irish men named John Walsh and Thomas Boucher, who were apprehended at the Victoria Railway Station, in that city while entering a train for Leeds, were brought up at the city police-court, yesterday morning, charged with being Fenians. The police had received some private information respecting the prisoners, who, on being arrested, were found to have in their possession 300 cart ridges and a large number of secret documents in cipher. The prisoners were remanded.

LIFEBOAT SERVICE AT CAIIORE, COUNTY WEX FORD.—tha Sunday morning a report was received from the officer of the Coastguard at Morris Castle that a large fishing smack was in distress, and was drifting towards the Blackwater Bank. The Cahore lifeboat, the Sir George Bowles, belonging to the National Lifeboat Insti tution,,•was quickly launched to her assistance, took her in tow, and brought her safely to Wexford.

THE DIAMOND DISCOVERIES IN SOUTH AFRICA. —A supplement to the Cape Argus of October 19 gives Free State news to the 13th ult., and says :—There is little fresh news from the fields, Mr. Rend had purchased in about seven days between 900 and 1,000 carats weight of diamonds. Mr. N. M. de Kock had un earthed another diamond of 40. and 11-16th carats. A new field had been discovered at Koffyfontein, about four hours from Fauresmith. Many diamonds picked up on surface. The proprietor of this farm was willing to grant licences to all corners at ss. per month. Yet another field reported on the farm Blesbokfontein, between Bloemfontein, and Fauresmith. Several diamonds reported to have been found there. A correspondent of the Friend says :—" Startling successes are hourly reported. One party of tramps just arrived without any tools in one day turned out 13 diamonds." Scholtz returned to King William's Town. Describes the diggings as a dreadful place. Very hot, and likely to be much sickness. One of the Kaffrarian parties has been very successful. The committee addressed a letter to his Excellency the High Commissioner in reply to proclama tion, highly approving of the measure, and stating that no act of government was ever more opportune, and assuring his Excellency that, as loyal subjects, tehre is no fear that the diggers will commit themselves to acts of territorial aggression which their Sovereign hereafter may be advised to disallow ; and they shall on their part be ready to co-operate with his Excellency in ever ypossible way. FEMALE MEDICAL STUDENTS.--Sophia Jex Blake has written on the subject of the disturbance which took place at Surgeons' Hall, Edinburgh, in connection with the visits of lady students. She says that some very exaggerated statements of the affair have got abroad, and the crowd which appeared at the gates did not contain many students, but was chiefly composed of ordinary street rowdies. The disturbance outside did not prevent the delivery of the lecture. The examination was pro longed beyond the usual time, but it was conducted as quietly, as usuaL Miss Blake writes merely to correct the errors which have appeared in the report of the occurrence, and to express the gratitude which she and the other ladies feel for the support of their fellow-students who expressed their con tempt for the unruly conduct of a few members of the class. A male medical student writes a letter on the same subject to say that though they do not desire to have lady students at the Royal Infirmary during the hours they attend it, few can approve, the disgraceful manner in which they were treated. They are entitled to use every legal means to effect their object, but to insult the female students is cowardly. He hopes that all those who value the good name of the University will wake a firm stand, and put their names to a protest which will chew that they condemn such proceedings as those referred to. LAW AND POLICE BRUTAL STREET OUTRAGES.—WiIIiam Reardon, a lad, of 17, who has frequently been charged with assaults, was charged, at the _Westminster Police-court, with assaulting John Smith and Ellen Smith, his wife, and further with assaulting William Notley, 371 B, James Burchell, 314 B, and Henry Wood, 359 B. Smith, who had a fearful pair of black eyes, said he was in Regent street, Westminster, and the prisoner pushed him in the road; he remonstrated with him, when the prisoner made a savage attack on him and his wife, and when the police came he voilently attacked them, kicking Burchel severely ; gave Wood a bad black eye, and bit Notley in the hand, as well as kicking Min in a dangerous part of his person. Prisoner denied the assault on Smith, and said another man had done it. Mr. Woolrych said the pri- soner was now under remand for felony, but of that he knew nothing. It was his duty to deal with him for no less than five brutal assaults without provocation,, coin mitted like the action of a wild beast more than that of a human being, intensified by the act of intemperance. His conduct was without palliation, violent, outrageous, and savage in the extreme, calling for a heavy term of im prisonment. For the assault on Smith be was sentenced to two months' hard labour, and for each of the other assaults one month ; making six months hard labour in all. " BONES " IN A Fix,—Edward Davies, the " bones " of a street nigger party, was charged before Mr. In,ghanl, at the Marlborough-street Police-court, with assaulting William Fendick, potman at the Princess Charlotte, Princes-street, Hanover-square. The cemplainant Paid . _ Last night the prisoner came into the Princess Charlotte, attired as a nigger, and began soliciting of the customers, not having played. He was requested to leave, and as he refused to do so I went to put him out, and as soon as I did so he clutched my nose and struck me in the face with his bones, and made other attempts to strike me, and was then given into custody. The prisoner : I and my brother professionals had just commenced the overture when it was announced that we were not to continue the performance. I went into the house to solicit a little remuneration, when to my surprise I was told to leave. I hesitated, and my friend attempted to put me out, and naturally enough one of my bones touched him in tho face. lam sorry for what has happened, and am per• fectly willing to tender an apology to my_friend. Mr. Ingham (to the complainant): He calls you his friend? Are you a friend of his. Complainant : No. The pri- goner : I have spoken to him several times when I have been white, but never when engaged professionally, and that may account for his not being here. Police-constable, 167: I saw the complainant's face bleeding. The pri soner : I can assure your worship, that nigger parties are now making nothing. A bare existence can only be obtained, and then not without the persons have great talent. The business is not what it used to be, it was pretty good, but it is now like an old song, worn out. The panic in the City has also affected us. lam the last person in the world to offend any one, and would like to offer an apology. The prisoner was fined 10s., or seven days. A SMOKE NUISANCE. —George Muller, a German pork butcher and sausage maker, of 38, High-street, Bow, was charged at the Thames Police court with having a fur nace on his premises so constructed as not to burn or consume its own smoke. Mr. Sandison, the Government inspector, had inspected the defendant's machine for chopping up meat intended to be converted into sausages, saveloys, Germans, small and large, polonies, And other mysterious delicacies, and there was no apparatus attached to the furnace to consume the smoke. The consequence was that dense volumes of black smoke issued from the defendant's chimney shaft, to the annoyance of the in habitants. The defendant was fined Gs. 3d., and allowed three weeks to make the required alteration in his furnace. THE DIVORCE COURT.—Lord Penzance decided an portant point in giving his •judgment as to whether the V• petitioner in the cause of " Borhain v. Borham and Brown," should be allowed to add fresh charges to his petition. The ~.ase was originally tried by a jury, who failed to arrive at a discison. The petitioner now asked to be allowed to . add fresh charges of adultery which' he alleged had_ • taken - place since the filing of the petition. His Lordship said that Sir Cresswell Cresswell decided in the cause of " Body and Body" that such fresh charges might lie added. He • (Lord Penzance), acting on that decision, would give the petitioner leave to amend his petition ; but at the same time lie very much doubted if such a course would be allowed in a court of appeal. The best plan would be for the petitioner to withdraw his present petition, and file another containing these fresh allegations. —A curious point arose in this Court which clears the point as to whether damages can be admitted as a debt against a bankrupt. In the cause of " Patterson v. Patterson and Graham," the petitioner obtained a decree nisi for a dissolution of his marriage, on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, who was ordered to pay £5OO damages. Graham became bankrupt and the petitioner wished to prove this £5OO 'as a debt, but the Bankruptcy court would not allow him to do so. —Lord Penzance said that as a rule the court either ordered damages to be paid into the court, to the children, or to the petitioner. In this case it would order them to be paid to Mr. Patterson, and that would place him in a betttr position as to proving the debt. THE CHARGE OF FORGING THE MARE OF THE GOLD SMITHS' COMPANY.-At the Old Bailey sessions John Noel, 50, gold chain maker, was charged with forging the mark of the Goldsmiths' Company to some chains, and also with having a forged die in his possession.—Mr. Besley, who appeared for the prisoner, said he would plead guilty to the charge, as he could not deny that the die so closely resembled that of the Com pany as to be a forgery. The prisoner had a wife and ten children. The chains in question were within a few shil lings of the value they, purported to be, as they were 15 carat gold, and the prisoner did not commence the system of marking his chains until he was led to suppose the company would not attach their mark to any chain weighing less than five ounces. The Goldsmiths' Com pany were bound to prottot the public, and stop these, practices, but he thought the judge would see that it was not quite the ordinary style of forgery.— Mr. Metcalfe said the system was largely practised, and was very difficult to detect. Prisoner declared he should not have stamped the chains unless he thought the gold was 18 carat. The Commissioner sentenced the prisoner to 18 months' hard labour, THE ALLEGED BREACH OF THE NEUTRALITY LAWS.—At the Central Criminal Court the grand jury returned a true bill against Joseph Patrick McDonnell, who is charged with a breach of the neutrality laws, by inducing persons to go abroad for military service in France. The case is known as the " Irish Ambulance Case," and we understand that application will be made to remove it by writ of certiorari from this Court to the `Court of Queen's Bench on the ground that important points of international law will be raised, and that it is a case which demands the investigation of a special jury. ALLEGED FRAUDS UPON BANKERS. —Robert D'Anrai, a well-dressed man, was indicted at the Central Criminal Court for forging a bill of exchange for £382. He was also charged with feloniously uttering the same. Mr. Poland and Mr. Straight appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Besley and Mr. Howell Brown for the defence. The case was one of a remarkable character. It appeared that in the month of August a person of the name of Leopold. Wright, who was supposed to be the prisoner, went to the hank of Messrs. Haywood, in Liverpool, and 'attained two drafts—one in favour of Charles Rocher for £26, and the other in favour of Mr. Gant for £3 14s. 4d., and both were payable at Messrs.-Barclay, Bevan, and Co.'s bank in London. On August 13th the prisoner went to the Midland Bank at Sheffield, and he there cashed the £26 draft, writing the name Charles Itocher on the back of it, Subsequently the same person, in the name of Leopold Wright, went again to Messrs. Maywood's, at Liverpool, and obtained a draft for £382 in favour of Charles Roche; payable at Barclay, Bevan, and Co,, London, and he immediately went and cashed a fac ;mite of this draft at the Midland Bank at Sheffield, the 'genuine draft being presented at Barclay, Bevan and CLI,'S in London on the following day, and paid over, the counter before the arrival' of the forged document.' The forged draft was obtained in a very ingenious. way. It has been already stated that there was issued a small draft for £3l4s. 44, This draft, it appeared, was never cashed, and by some chemical pro cess the figures on . it were obliterated, and £382 substi tuted.
