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 Journey to Rome.' His descriptions of scenery in the Alps and of the Italian cities are exceedingly graphic, sheaving 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 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. " h r. 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 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. Evil, 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 n , velty, 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 cEcumenical 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 recollee 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 untraveiled Englishmen will find 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.

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. Jolin Stabb, Hon.

The question of the liquidation of the National Debt, is one that seems to be steadily advancing in popular favour. Last session and the session before the subject was brought forward in the House of Commons by Mr. Lam bert, the member for the county Bucks. It holds, we believe, a prominent place in the policy of the extreme liberals, and at the last meeting of the British Associa tion in Liverpool, it was twice discussed in Section F , the great weight of opinion being on both occasions, decisively in its favour. Mr. Lambert did not divide the House upon his motion last session, but we understand that he had promises of support from so many, and from such influential quarters, that if he had gone to a division he would probably have put the government iu a minority. The rapid and decisive growth of opinion on this question is probably mainly due to the course the United States of America have taken in respect of their debt. Within the last five years they have paid off nearly 75 millions sterling, and this year they will pay off above 20 millions sterling. It is remarkable that above forty years ago, in 1828, a select committee of the House of Commons on " Income and Expenditure," strenuously pressed the policy of liquidation upon Parliament. In their fourth report they observe :—"lf the accumulated debt of each period of extraordinary exertion is to be handed down undiminished, as a load upon those who are hereafter to meet the exigencies of other struggles and other difficulties, it is too obvious to require an argument, that the time cannot be very distant (according to the ordinary vicissitudes of peace and war in the history of human affairs) when the combined weight of past and present burdens must become too great for the most prosperous people to support, and the fabric of Public Credit must crumble under the accu mulated pressure." The history of the Debt for the last forty years sfiews how little effect the representations of this committee have had, . although, perhaps, we ought not to depreciate the efforts made at that period for the reduction of the Debt, for they were not inconsiderable. Thus the debt in 1815 was £861,000,000, with an annual charge of £32,640,000. In 1829 it was a little below £800,000,000, with a charge of £29,000,000, and in 1834 the debt was reduced to £773,000,000, with an annual charge of £2B,soo,ooo—thus in seven teen years, (for in 1816.7 no reduction occurred), the annual charge had been reduced by four millions, and the capital by eighty-eight millions. Now, considering that several of these years were years of great financial pressure and embarrassment, we cannot sufficiently applaud the patriotism and self-denial of the Parliaments of those times that reduced the debt at the rate of five millions a-year. It is a singular fact that after Mr. William Pitt had carried on the great war against France for several years he came round to the opinion that carrying on the war by means of loans was a blunder. In a speech made towards the close of 1797 he says :—" It would have been fortunate if the practice of funding had never been introduced, and that it is not terminated is much to be lamented." Why, then, it will be asked did Mr. Pitt commence the war by borrowing ? The answer is obvious. He just followed the usual red tape routine, the established line of practice. He may be said to have grown up under a system of loans. He was just sixteen years of age when the American war broke out, and from that period until he entered Parliament there wai a loan effected every year ; indeed, even after he entered Parliament until he was called to the head of affairs there was a loan every year. Loans were therefore presented to his mind as the natural and ordinary method of defraying the expenses of a war. Thus, in his budget-speech of 1797, he says, "According to the received system of our financial operations the natural and ordinary mode of supplying this sum (19 millions) would be by a loan." Moreover, Mr. Pitt firmly believed that along with every loan which he effected that he created an effectual instrument for its speedy and complete redemption in the shape of a sinking fund. This appears in every one of his speeches. Throughout the debates it is taken for granted, not only by Mr. Pitt, but by every other speaker, that all the loans then contracted would be liquidated in less than forty-five years from the period of their con traction. Not only so, but in 1.802 many financiers were confident that the debt would he entirely paid off by 1830. It is beyond all question that in 1798 Mr. Pitt saw the fatal error that he had committed, in raising during the first five years of the war the whole war expenditure, by loans, and laying on such additional taxes only as were necessary to pay the interest on these loans. In that year he set to work vigorously to repair his error, and sought at once to raise the taxation of the country from less than nineteen millions a year to above thirty. We may to some extent realise the magni tude of this effort by imagining our taxation raised at a single bound to £120,000,000 a year. But the interest upon the debts which he had contracted in the first years of the war now amounted to nearly seven millions a year, being like a mill-stone about his neck. Still each succes sive year fresh efforts were manfully made to retrieve the irretrievable error, until at last the taxation rose to above seventy millions a year. Had Mr. Pitt begun the war by raising the taxation of the country to thirty millions, he might have raised the whole, or most of the supplies, within the year, and we should not now have to deplore the terrific incubus of our debt. And, in passing, we may perhaps quote Mr. J. S. Mill to shew that had Mr. Pitt raised the whole supplies within the year, 'and refrained from borrowing altogether, he would have pursued not only a wise, but also an economi. cally just policy. Mr. Mill says :—" If a the capital taken in loans is abstracted from funds engaged in production, or destined to be employed in it, their diver sion from that purpose is equivalent to taking the amount from the wages of the labouring classes. Borrow ing in this case is not a substitute for raising the supplies within the year. A Government that borrows does ac tually take the amount within the year,and that too by a tax exclusively on the labouring classes ; than which it could have done nothing worse if it had supplied its wants by avowed taxation, and in that case the transaction and its evils would have ended with the emergency ; while by the circuitous mode adopted, the value extracted from labour is gained not by the state, but by the employers of labour, the State remaining charged with the debt besides, and with its interest in perpetuity. The system of public loans in such circum stances may be pronounced the very worst which is still included in the catalogue of financial expedients." Mr. Mill goes on to say that most of the loans contracted during this war are amenable to the severest condemna tion. It is remarkable that in 1798 Mr. Pitt arrived, on different grounds, at the same conclusion. In fairness to Mr. Pitt, we should state that he firmly believed in an early termination of the war with France —precisely as the Prussians do now just seventy five years after. In Pellew's Life of Lord Sid mouth, there is a letter of Mr. Pitt to Mr. Wad dington, dated 4th October 1795, in which he speaks of bringing forward his budg6t before Christmas, and says " if that goes off tolerably well it will give us peace be fore Easter." How utterly deceived was this great states man, and, as Mr. Cardwell the other day observed at Oxford, " How often do the best-laid schemes eventuate in results entirely opposite to what was intended or desired !" No English statesman ever more ardently desired to transmit to posterity an unencumbered inheri tance. in 1797 he exclaims in the House of Commons, "This is the conduct fit for men legislating for a country that bears the fairest title to any in Europe to perpetuity. The only question now to be considered is, shall we sacrifice or shall we save our posterity a sum of forty millions 1" The action of the United States in respect of their debt is most remarkable ; the resolution to pay it off appears to have been common to the whole nation. They arrived at the conclusion that it was necessary for the future greatness of their country to liquidate their debt, and they cheerfully make the necessary sacrifices. 'When their debt is liquidated, unless we pay our debt pari passu, we shall not stand, a chance in campeting with them. Our producers will be heavily weighted, and will be infallibly beaten out of the market. -in conclusion we would just observe,.while every region under heaven is yielding us wealth, every tribe minister ing to our resources, and the riches of the world pouring into our lap, this burden may seem light and its pressure unperceived, still, remember, there are moments in the history of many nations when burdens which, in the hey day, of their strength, appeared little inconvenient—yet in the hour of debilitated resources have proved the inci dental occasion of their destruction, when causes which were unable to prevent prosperity have been effectual in effecting ruin. NA I'IONAL EDUCATION. A general meeting of the members of the Society for Promoting ChriFtian Knowledge in connection with the question of National Education was held yesterday in St. James's Hall, the Lord Bishop of Rochester in the chair. The Venerable Archdeacon Bickersteth, 'on behalf of the standing committee, proposed the first resolution, "That .regard being had to the urgency of the present crisis on the matter of elementary education, The Standing Committee recommend that a grant of money, not exceeding .{.:10,G01 be applied befoie January Ist, 1871, to the building and enlarging of schools in connection with the Church of England, and the erection of teachers' residences, the grant to be ad ministered by the Standing Committee, with an instruction to accept cases which have been administered by the National Society, when it shall appear that that society has not been able to make adequate grants ; as well as other cases that may appear to the standing committee to be deserving." The Archdeacon, in submitting this resolution, said that Mr. Forster's educational scheme had been a matter of careful conside ration, and, though the society were not disposed to be lavish in their enconiums on that measure, they thought it due to say that it was conceived in the very large and compre hensive spirit for which that gentleman was so conspicuous. The future of the Church of England depended to a large extent on the efforts which its members might make within the next few weeks. And if they did not unite as one man, those principles would materially suffer. There were two questions requiring their serious consideration. The one was in reference to the voluntary, and the other in connection with the rating system, the latter rested upon law, and the former on faith ; therefore it was he believed the voluntary system would be dying. Dr. Barry, principal of King's College in the absence of Mr. W. H. Smith, seconded the resolution. In reply to a question from a gentleman present, Arch deacon Bickersteth stated that the amount in question was drawn from the capital account. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. WASTED BENEVOLENCE. A correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette finds serious fault with the manner in which the National Aid Society in St. Martin's-place are managing their funds. He has just returned from Prussia, and thinks our money is being wasted in some parts and withheld from others. He conversed with several agents of the society, some of whom could only speak French and some German, which was a great drawback. These agents told him they saw many blunders in the management which they did not like to complain of, being paid by the society. The chief fault found was that supplies were sent to one or two depots at the outset, and there they remained One young surgeon said there were amputating and other surgical instrument cases lying at one depot, worth thirty or forty guineas apiece, never used ; quinine enough to cure all Europe, opium in like proportion. Again, there was lint enough and to spare; head nets sufficient for both armies if all their crowns were broken. The Prus sians were anything but grateful. One said, "You are always too late." Another, "I have applied a dozen times and got nothing." Another told me, " You are the only nation rich enough to make blunders." The writer states positively that our Princess Royal, at Homburg, was nearly at a standstill for money, though some time after he met one of the society's agents going about with a credit of £20,000, and finding no use for it. Yet her Royal Highness received nothing from the Society up to the middle of September. He regrets very much, in face of such mismanagement, that he did not keep his money subscribed to the society for the benefit of the suf ', fering peasantry of North-East France. LAW AND POLICE. OVERTAXING HORSES. -At the Marlborough-street Police-court yesterday, William Enever, a carman, of Little Drummond-street, Euston-square, was summoned before Mr. Tyrwhitt for cruelty to horses ; an officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals watching the case. A gentlemrin on the 30th ult. saw the defendant driving two horses attached to a waggon laden with 4i tons of coals, the horses being scarcely able to get along ; and having called a constable's attention to the fact, a summons was taken out against the defendant. The defendant's excuse was that, having been to Belgrave-square with some coals, there was no room for them, and he had to bring them back ; and that he lent one of his horses to another man, who forgot to bring it back to him, and therefore he was obliged to go on without it. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after remarking that tons was too much for two horses, said he had per sonay observed that horses were being more overtaxed than ever. In the district where he resided he had frequently noticed that only two horses were employed in heavily laden coal waggons ; and such was the exertion the horses had to make to draw the loads pint their sinews were drawn out of them. He considered' such treatment of horses as brutal as any that could be inflicted on them, and should fine the defendant 405., or in default a month's imprisonment. AN UNGALLANT TAR.—Charles Stewart, a seaman aged 35 years, was brought up, on remand, at the Thames Police-court, before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing a gold ring, value 45., from the finger of a woman named Margaret Cotton, of No. 2, Jamaica-place, Limehouse. The prisoner had been staying with the prosecutrix, who wore a ring, a present from another man, to whom she had shewed her favours, and the prisoner said he would not allow her to wear a ring given her by another man, and took it with force from her finger, in the presence of another woman named Margaret Connor. The prisoner was taken into custody by Norman, a detective, to whom he said "If you touch me I'll bite you." He actually attempted to seize Norman with his teeth, but the officer soon overpowered him, and took him into custody. The prisoner said he had the ring and meant to keep it, and he would kick the woman's face in before she should have it. The prisoner now said that he never had the ring, and the charge was preferred to keep him here and pre vent him going to Scotland. Mr. Paget committed him for triaL Walter Pelgrave, a man of respectable appearance and good address, was brought up on remand, at the above court, charged with feloniously embezzling £2 he had received for and on account of his master, Mr. John Amos, carman and contractor, of Susannah-street, Poplar. After some evidence had been given, the prisoner was com mitted for trial. The Arctic has arrived at Wick with 13 whale (140 tuns). She reports that the Camperdown has seven fish, the Esquimaux five, and the Intrepid nine. There is a passage in her Majesty's " Journal of Our Life in the Highlands" which receives an accession of interest from the impending marriage of the Princess Louise. It occurs in the description of the royal visit to Inverary. " Our reception," writes her Majesty, " was in the true Highland fashion. . . , . The pipers walked before the carriage, and the Highlanders on either side, as we approached the house. Outside stood the Marquis of Lorn, just two years old, a dear, white, fat, fair little fellow, with reddish hair, but very delicate fea tures, like both his father and mother; he is such a merry, independent little child. He had a black velvet dress and jacket, with a `sporran,' scarf, and Highland bonnet." ENGLAND'S NECESSITY.-1t is neither by trade nor by money that we can be saved, but by men and arms ; and it is a truth that can never be too often repeated that we must become a military people, or we must become slaves. A nation which sets more value upon its wealth than upon its valour will never ba even a rich nation for any great length of time, because the men of money who are, as .to their own private concerns, the most cunning of all creatures, will always remove their dearly-beloved treasure to the place of the greatest security, to the place where there is the greatest degree of physical force, animated by the greatest courage. • • • The fall of a country is generally imperceptible ; it comes down by degrees, like a new-made rick of hay; you do not perceive in the evening that the rick is lower than it was at noon; but at the end of seven or eight days the inexperienced observer is surprised that so short a ladder will suffice for the thatcher, when it required so long a ladder for him to descend on who had finished the rick. It is thus with nations. We, for instance, think not much of the Russians being at the Dardanelles, intro duced to us gradually by an invasion of Spain, and an occupation of the Morea. Next, it may be thought incon venient for us to be suffered to remain in the Seven Islands. After that, the claims of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem to the Island of Malta might be respectfully made to His Britannic Majesty. Another year may bring us acquainted with a representation of the uselessness of Gibraltar to us. Another year, or perhaps less, would make it a question wbether it were becoming—whether compatible with those friendly feelings that ought to exist among great Powers— that we should retain, as it were for the mere purpose of insult, the trifling islands of Guernsey and Jersey ; and where is the stock-jobber, the Quaker, or the loan monger who would not express his satisfaction that "His iv*jesty's Government' had not plun ge d th e nat i on i nto "all the horrors of war" for so insignificant an object? From Jersey it is but a couple of hours' sail t o th e I s l e o f j e o b s b h e o r 8 11 , 1 should stock-jobbers,find hundreds a n d o f tax-eater. Wight,Quakers, oa o say that it was sound policy not to consider that pitiful island as belonging to this great empire," We may be • well assured that, if we decline to fight for it, we shall be encroached upon step by step, until we aro circumscribed within the limits of this hare island. Ido not call out for war, but I call out for preparations for it : I call for those measures which are absolutely necessary to enable the country to fit out armaments, and to defend its interests and its honour.—Cobbett's Political Register.
