Now Published, A WINTER JOURNEY TO ROME AND BACK, WITH AN ACCOUNT OF THE OPENING OF THE • (ECUMENICAL COUNCIL, AND GLANCES AT MILAN, FLORENCE, NAPLES, POMPEII, AND VENICE. BY WILLIAM EVILL. STAMFORD, Charing Cross. Price 4s. 6d " Mr. W. Evill has written a lively and agreeable account of `A Winter Journeyto Rome.' His descriptions of scenery in the Alps and of the Italian cities are exceedingly graphic, shewipg 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 ,qp a new volume : and if Mr. Evill does not add' distinctly to our stock, he has the art—arare 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 eloquent descriptions, any morn 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 Newi. " 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 (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 may extend into the compass of two goodly volumes ln tne 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, 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. 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 thld something to interest them in Mr. Evill's " Winter Journey to Rome."—The Examiner.

MIDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT. Office, 5, Red Lion-square, W.C., London.—During the last 10 years this Institution has been instrumental in rescuing a vast number of poor girls from a life of degradation and misery. The plan adopted has been to seek the wanderers in the streets of London and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and faithful addresses have been given. During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly every week in some of the most frequented districts of the metropolis. The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have been most successful in effecting a great moral change in many fallen ones. To enable them to continue their important work, FUNDS are earnestly solicited, and will be thankfully received by Mr. John Stabb, lion.

The Irish Protestants are beginning to believe more in the mixed systems of education. At a meeting just held at Omagh, the Dean of Clonfert said that although for many years 'the clergy and laity of the Establishment were hdstile to the existing system, time and experience had produced a great change of opinion and now . " theeat majority o d f the clergy and the bulk of the peo gr ple " were oppose to denomi nationalism. The meeting passed a resolution protesting against separate schools in Ireland for particular religious denominations —the ground taken being " that such a course would lead to injurious rivalry in the estab lishment of schools and a baneful separation of the youth of Ireland, and tend to deteriorate the education of the country." THE REPRESENTATION OF COLCH EST ER. A deputation from Colchester waited on Tuesday on Major-General Sir H. Storks, G.C. 8., and presented him with a requisition signed by all the different sections of the Liberal party, inviting him to appear as a candi date for the seat vacant by the death of Mr. Rebow. The gallant General accepted the invitation, and promised to address the constituency las; evening. Sir Henry has been selected by successive Governments to fill important posts in Jamaica, the lonian Islands, and Smyrna. Mr. Sangster, of Sherborne-lane, London, on Tuesday night issued his address as a candidate, in connection with the Association of Revivers of British, Industry. He is opposed to . one-sided free trade, advocates protection to British labour, peace between nations and employer and employed. Mr. Sangster is in favour of the Ballot, but is opposed to the colonial policy of the present Government. He advocates the abolition of the Malt Tax. The ad dress of Colonel Learmouth has not yet been published. • THE RESPONSIBILITY OF A SHIPPING AGENT. — An important judgment has been given by Mr. Anderson, Q.C., in the City of London Court, iii the case of " Duff v. Charles Andrew," which was an action brought for the recovery of a large sum of money from defendants, who are sliipbrokers of \Val brook., and who, , it was alleged, contracted with the plaintiff, a yarn merchant, of Barking, Essex, to ship a quantity of goods to Valentia, in Spain. They neglected to do so, alleging that they had a more valu able freight for the ship, and this action was instituted to recover compensation for loss sustained in consequence. The judge held that the defendant's objection as to non liability was good in law, as they merely acted as the agents for a Dundee house, who alone were responsible. • A London agent, acting for a country or foreign house, and failing to carry out a contract of this kind, the breach of contract being, as in the present instance, traceable to the firm they represented, could not be held liable, and the proper parties to sue were the Dundee firm. At the annual book trade sale at New York, Mrs. Stowe's book on the Byron scandal was sold, amid shouts of derision, for waste paper. Mr. and Mrs. Motley have been on a visit to Earl Russell, at Woburn Abbey. Mrs. Lincoln, widow of the late President, has been on a visit to Mr. Smith, the United States Consul at Dundee. The Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis has ap pended to his Report on the year 1869 extracts from re ports made to him by district and divisional superintenden ts - on the conduct and work of the police in the year. This is the first time that they have been called upon for a statement of the results of their experiences, and they had therefore kept no registers; but the reports are very interesting. We present, as an example, the substance of the report on the Camberwell Division, so far as it is pub lished. The Superintendent says :—" I consider the capture of William Simpson (alias Miles Ambler, alias Black Miles) and William Green the most important apprehension made by the Metropolitan Police for many years. Black Miles is a Yorkshire man, well known in his neighbourhood for thirty years as a receiver of stolen property, but long fortunate in escaping conviction. In the spring of 1864 he was connected with a gang of thieves who committed a series of very extensive robberies. One was the robbery of over .21,000 worth of stamps from the Stamp-office at Huddersfield. Then followed a robbery of several hundred pounds worth of silks, satins, &c., from a house at Bradford, the whole of which property was found concealed in the pulpit of a chapel about two miles from the premises broken into. The chapel had a boarded io, about two feet from the'ground, with three grates Or dust-holes up the centre ;one of the grates was about a yard from the pulpit, and the thieves, by direction of Miles, got down the grate, and stowed the stolen goods underneath the pulpit. Shortly after the same gang broke into a cloth warehouse at Kirkheaton, and stole cloth of the value of £4OO, which was conveyed away in two carts. One of these broke down, and was abandoned ; the remainder of the cloth was concealed inside box tomb stones at Wood churchyard, 17 miles from the scene of the robbery. All the gang were apprehended and con victed, except Black Miles. From that time (the spring of 1864) he evailed detection, until apprehended a few months since by Ham and Ranger, two of the metro politan detectives, who found him out through making inquiries respecting portico and other thieves, and ascer tained that he had been at the head of an organised band of thieves, and connected with another notorious re ceiver residing at Brixton. Ranger and Ham kept both of them under close observation day and night. When Miles and Green were apprehended the proceeds of several burglaries were found in Black Miles's house. Both men were sentenced to 12 years' penal servitude. While Miles and Green were in custody and awaiting their exnmination before a magistrate, Police-sergeant Ham received a letter, in consequence of which he was instructed to proceed to a certain rendezvous indicated in the letter, and there he found one Richards, who, after a little conversation, made an offer of 20 sove reigns to Ranger and Ham, on condition of their getting Miles and Green discharged. Ranger and Ham, under directions, took the,money, which was placed in Richards's hands by the Brixton receiver, and both those men, Richards and the receiver, were for this offence sentenced to two years' hard labour. The man who thus found the money had been known as a wealthy receiver for years. He lived in good style at Brixton, and was the owner of a large number of houses ; he was the companion of and very intimate with Black Miles, and both had baffled the police for years. This Brixton man was convicted at Liverpool in 1854, and sen tenced with his wife to seven years' penal servitude for a banknote robbery. The wife died in prison. At that time he was worth £l,OOO, but when apprehended by Ham and Ranger he was found to have money and house property to the amount of 212,000. Therefore, in his capacity of receiver, he had accumulated no less than £ll,OOO since he came to London. He is connected with first-class thieves all over the word, and advanced money to them to go to foreign coun tries to commit robberies. Numerous papers re- lating to transactions with thieves in France, Spain, Ger many, and America, and to stolen property sent to and re ceived from those countries were found upon him. One document and two portmanteaus belonging to a thief, named Husk or Hirst, now doing five years hi France, were found„which also chewed that this receiver held £l5O, the procikeds of larceny in Paris, for this thief until he was released. This Brixton receiver bought the whole of the property stolen from Mrs. Cohen in Park-lane for £175, from two notorious portico thieves, now in penal servitude." The superintendent goes on to state that in the course of these inquiries respecting Miles and the Brixton receiver, and while their houses were watched, a whole school of climbers or portico thieves were found out, and several are in prison for long terms. Portico larcenies very much decreased after the gang had been broken up. The thieves who commit these larcenies in the suburbs are nearly always well dressed men, keeping their own horses and traps, mostly at livery stables. Some of the carts are made with a box under the seat, the upper part of the box contains cigars, Sze., as if the owner was a traveller, but house-breaking instruments are concealed under a false bottom. Men of this class drive about the suburbs without suspicion, sometimes with a very dressy lady. The superintendent, regarding houses with a professional eye, complains that fields or gardens about a suburban dwell ing give great facilities to thieves to get away with their booty without being seen, allowing little chance of de tection. He puts in a word for the police, not without reason, when he says, in conclusion, that while the claim to pension accrued at 15 years' service many very intelli gent men joined the force, but that the extension of the minimum to 30 years has an unfavourable effect, as very few indeed can perform the duties of a policeman for so long a period. It is stated that Mr. Disraeli contemplates writing another novel.' NEW GLOVE PURSE.—A Nottingham firm have brought out a new glove mitha pocket on the inside of the palm, to suit the habit indulged in by the fair sex of carry ing. money in that position. Mr. George Potter, who is a candidate for the London School Board, says :—" I am for universal and unsectarian education ; and, though I would never ex clude religion, I.would not admit it into State-supported schools in any other form than as it comes before us in the open Bible." The Prince of Wales has given a cheque for a hundred guineas to the Royal Infirmary at Edinburgh, the foundation stone of which he laid last week. In the letter announcing the .gift his Royal Highness expresses his satisfaction at the reception afforded to him and the Princess of Wales on the occasion referred to. The well-known supporter of Mr. Gladstone, the Itev. M. M'Coll, was offered the living of St. Mark's, Hamilton-terrace, but he declined it. It is reported that Mr. Gladstone has strongly recommended Dean Ramsay to get him elected Bishop of Edinburgh, but he prefers "to remain South."—Church Herald. The Pope is said to have accepted the first instal ment of his income from Italy. On the last day of the month those who receive regular pensions from the Papal Court were rather puzzled as to where they should ho for their money. To their utter astonishment, an employe of the Italian Government presented himself at the Vatican, and disbursed the sums due to each of them. The sums paid amounted to 50,000 scudi.--Guardian. Mr. William Ferdinand Fodor. who was hilled by a carriage accident on Saturday, was not the steward but the personal friend of Mr. Strode, of Camden House, and undertook the temporary charge of the Empress's household affairs as a purely honorary function and as a mark of sympathy for her misfortunes. He was a Russian by birth, and leaves a widow and three children to mourn his loss. Mr. Fodor will be buried in Chislehurst churchyard on Friday. The split in the Armenian Catholic community still continues. The dissidents—as firm as ever in their resolve not to recognise even the spiritual authority of Monsi,,,rnor Hassoun—have not yet, says the Levant Herald, succeeded in inducing A'ab. Pasha to order the election of a new patriarch, to • hand over to them the large mass of house, Church, ' and other property which belongs to the commu nity generally, but which the repudiated prelate still holds. Two monster deputations have lately waited on the Grand Vizier at Bebek, to urge action on his High ness but he declines doing anything till he . has heardi from Cardinal Barnabo, to whom he has written on the subject. In the meantime, on Sunday last a sen tence of excommunication was read out in the Hassounite churches agginst the four bishops who have joined the secedepf. THE PUBLIC HEALTH.—The rate of inottalitv in London and 16 other large towns of the United Kingdom last week was in the ratio of 24 deaths annually to every 1,000 of the present estimated population. The rate varied from 18 in Sunderland to 37 in Bristol. In the metropolis 2,116 births and 1,416 deaths were re gistered, the former having been 33 below and the latter 47 above the estimated average, Zy motic disease caused 409 deaths including 1.3 from smallpox, 19 from measles, 198 from scarlet fever, 11 from diphtheria, 14 frem croup, 20 from whooping cough, 17 from typhus, 22 from enteric (or typhoid) fever, 8 from simple continued fever, 9 from erysipelas, and 38 from diarrhoea. From " simple cholera, 'or choleraic diarrheas, ' 2 deaths were registered. Smallpox caused 2 deaths. The mortality from scarlet fever shows a slight increase on the previous week's return.Fifty one deaths resulted from violence. SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT RAMSGATE A shocking carriage accident happened on Tuesday afternoon at liamegate, which resulted in the death of one person, and in serious injuries being inflicted upon two children. Al out, three ,'cloek a basket chaise con taining four persons (Mr. and Mrs. Kelly, of Sandwich, and their two children) was being driven clown the high street by Mr. Kelly. At the top of the street the horse bolted off at a terrific pace, and having narrowly cleared several other vehicles, came in contact with a fly. The chaise was overturned, and the whole of the occupants were thrown out with great violence. Mrs. Kelly was taken to the house of Mr. Austen, surgeon, and was at once attended by that gentlemen, but her injuries were of such a terrible nature that she expired in a few minutes. Mr. Kelly sustained no material bodily injury, but re mained in a state of delirium. The chaise, which was completely sfnashed, was dragged by the horse at the same furious rate as far as the Market-place, where it was stopped. The fly with which it came into collision was very much damaged. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. At a meeting of the Royal Humane Society ow Tuesday, Mr. Lambton Young read a letter from the Lords Com missioners of the Admiralty, requesting the committee to cause Mr. J. May, gunner of the second class, now on board her Majesty's ship Excellent, to he furnished with duplicates of the medals which were awarded to him by the committee for saving life from drowning in Jamaica and Southampton in the years 1863 and 1865, Mr. May having lost the originals through the foundering of her Majesty's ship Captain. On the motion of the chairman, Mr. W. Hawes, seconded by Mr. W. Pownall, the corn, mittee, under the peculiar circumstances of the case granted the request. The crew of the Cerberus, 4, iron armour-plated turret ship, who are to take the ship out to Melbourne, have been giving some trouble to their officers. A degree of dissatis faction has prevailed among the men. The ship is lying at Folly Point, in the Medway, a short distance from Chatham. On Saturday the men were in formed that no leave would be granted on Sunday, as several to whom leave had been given had not returned to their duty. On joining the men were paid a month's wages in advance. The men were aggrieved by this order, and they went to the commanding officer, Captain Panter, and declared that unless he revoked the order they would refuse to do any more work. Captain Panter pointed out to them that had the ship left when it had been expected there could have been no leave on the Sunday; and he warned them that if they refused to work they must bear the consequences. Better counsels prevailing, the men, with one exception, shortly returned to their duty. The man who still refused to work, Patrick Green, was arrested on Tuesday, at Rochester, on a warrant, he having left the ship without leave in the morning, and he was charged before the city magistrates with disobeying orders in refusing to work. The Bench marked their sense of the prisoner's conduct by sentencing him to 21 days' hard labour. The death is announced of M. A. Lovey, late professor of French in the Royal Military Academy of Woolwich, and for several years French tiltor to his Royal Highness Prince Arthur. The French man-of-war Auverne left the River Swale on Tuesday, leaving behind the tug steamer Two Sisters, which was detained by the coastguard awaiting instruc tions from the Admiralty. The Two Sisters had on board upwards of two hundred cases, containing rifles and cart ridges and a quantity of iron tubes. As there was no direct proof of the intention to tranship, the tug steamer was released later in the day by an order from the Admiralty. At a court-martial, held at Portsmouth on Tuesday, on board her Majesty's ship Duke of Wellington, Sergeant R. Wilkinson. R.M.A., serving on board her Majesty's ship Donegal, was tried on a charge of stabbing Sergeant Wilson, R.M.A., also serving on board the Donegal. The court found the charge proved, and directed the prisoner to be strictlyjwatched in Haslar Hospital Asylum, pond- ing orders from the Admiralty. John West, seaman, serving on board the Monarch, was found guilty of deser tion, and sentenced to two years' imprisonment with hard labour, and to be afterwards dismissed the navy. Thomas Davis, a marine, serving on board her Majesty's ship Minotaur, was charged with desertion, and sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment with hard labour. The 100th Regiment, which has been stationed in Man chester for some time, left that city on Tuesday for Bury. It is rumoured in Woolwich that Mr. Cardwell has declined to legislate on the subject of the pro motion and retirement of the officers of the Ordnance Corps, It is reported that about 3,000 new Snider-Enfield rifles, with steel barrels, are being turned out weekly at Enfield. A progressive officer, who has heard of this, totally condemns the manufacture of weapons which cease to be arms of precision be• yond 500 yards. " A grave responsibility is incurred by expending more public money on a comparatively inferior arm like the Snider-Enfield. The time," adds the writer, " for refinements and further delay in at tempting to obtain an unattainable perfectibility in this matter is past ; that for action has arrived." A number of shipwrights at Chatham Dockyard have commenced laying the blocks of a building slip for the keel of the Raleigh, 27, 4,066 tons, 1,000 horse-power, which is to be immediately commenced. The Raleigh is intended to be an iron vessel, cased with wood , and heavily armour-plated, and she will be of the Inconstant type. _ _ _ A long circular from the War Office issued yesterday shews the order in which Snider rifles are to be ' issued to the different regiments of the volunteer force, but it is necessary to state that before the 31st instant, all " Pat tern (1853) interchangeable rifles" at present in pos session of volunteer corps will have to be forwarded to the Royal Small Arms Department, Birmingham, for conversion. ALIVE TO THE OPPORTUNITY.— The Portuguese Government is expected to sign a contract with an Eng lish firm for a supply of Martini-Henry rifles, the first order to be for 30,000. WRECK ON THE SUFFOLK COAST.—The lifeboat La.,titia, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, was launched at Lowestoft on Tuesday evening, to assist the crew of the stranded brig Glenora, of Scarborough, 241 tons, Simpson master, bound from Shields to Ro , thester, with a cargo of coals. Fortunately the life. boat was instrumental in rescuing the crew of seven men, and in landing them in safety. An active movement (says the Church Herald) is going on amongst members of the Convocation of Can terbury to detach that assembly from any connection with the scheme for revising the Scriptures in conjunction with the 'Unitarian, Mr. Vance Smith. It is said to be probable that Archdeacon Churton, Canon Hornby, and Mr. Grey may together take similar action in the York Con vocation in the early part of its next session. The remains of the late Lord Charles Berth Percy have been interred at Milverton, a rural church near to his own residence of Guy's Cliff, on the banks of the river Avon. On the road to the church the funeral cortege was met by a number of his lordship's tenants, who headed the procession to the church. The Duke of Northumberland, the Earl Percy, Lord Algernon Percy, General Ashburiiham, and other relatives followed the body to the grave. Mr. A. Illingworth, M.P., has urged the citizens of Bradf )rd to get out of the political rut in reference to the election of a school board. Let them, said the hon. gentleman, consider the education question in all its bearings. If there were differences of opinion, let them be discussed, and let the majority holding any one view dominate in the school board. If possible, let them not have the question solved by any side winds. SELF-APPOINTED DELEGATES.—Thepractical illus trations of Republican theories are sometimes comic enough. An amusing anecdote is told in the French papers. The municipa l council of Parizet, in the department of Isere, had just closed a a recil l i a e r a g te e d sum sitfortingh e a n t m ayor to open a subscript ion list for the same p ur p ose, national defences, it had and vot l e i d ad when the mayor was stopped, on leaving the Council Chamber, by several workmen employed in the neighbour ing dye works. One of them said, " Sir, in the name de n li o ve.r lon n g i e ) r th t e nay k o e r y , a o n f d th t e o n r ia eg frf ili e r ., e , of the delegates , I c ome to an nounce to you that s Y3:;Pulerhataorpes, gentlemen," said the Mayor, " you will let thenie kfinrostw speaker, , 3: w ou e are are th fi e ve d , el a e o g d ate y s o .' u ' o ' n ' Sit tor o repliedkimw that five delegates have the right to depose authorities." " You need not even be five," said the Mayor " provided you are empowered to act. Once more I ask who nominated you?" "We nominated ourselves," was the reply. Un luckily the mayor, unconvinced, found it necessary to send the delegates to prist n to put a stop to their protests and menaces.
