WINTER JOURNEY TO ROME AND BACK, WITH AN ACCOUNT OF THE OPENING OF THE (ECUMENICAL COUNCIL, AND GLANCES AT 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 hr.ve 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 hare 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.

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, 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 readjag 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 eulogiuns 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. - - CIIWEPPE'S .MINERAL WATERS SCHWEPPES SODA. WATER, So celebrated now for upwards of a • century. SCITIVEPPE'S LEMONADE, • A most grateful and refreshing beverage, so useful in cases of Fever. " sir. 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 tEcumenical 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. 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.

" Both to the beginner and the proficient i n that stud y 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 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 thoroughly scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English. With tho 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.

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 praiseworthy 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. An urgent appeal is therefore made for assistance to support the inmates. £l5 will keep a boy or a girl for one year, and £1 ss. for a month.

THE GATLING GUNS. - - The report of the special committee appointed to carry out comparative experiments with the mitrailleuse and Gatling guns has been published Woolwich. The com mittee, which consists of Colonel E. Wray, C. 8., R.A. Sresident), Captain the Hon. F. Fole y , R.N., Colonel G. haw, R.A., Lieutenant -Colonel Fletcher, Scots Fusilier Guards, Captain Beaumont, RE., Captain Noble, R.A., and Lieutenant-Colonel Heyman, R.A. (secretary), offer no opinion as to the merits of the rival weapons tried in competition, but give the results of each experiment in full detail in a series of tables, with a simple column of remarks relative to th e conditions of the various trials. and the general conclusion is decidedly in favour of the small Gatling of ten 0•42-inch barrels. In a special com petition between this gun and the Montigny mitrailleuse of 37 barrels, the forNer made 618 hits in 3 min. 31 secs. in 720 rounds at 600 yards ; the Montigny, at the same range and with the same number of rounds, scoring 538 in 4 minutes. With 555 rounds at 800 yards the result was even more favourable to the Gatling, which made 439 hits in 2 min. 26 sec., against the Montigny's 292 in 3 min. 8 secs. The trials against field guns firing shell and infantry armed with Snider and Mar tini-Henry rifles were likewise favourable to the small Gatling, and a comparison of • the total effects of the experiments versus weight of ammunition expended gives the followingfigures ;—The small Gatling, weighing 3cwt., expended 4921b5., of ammunition, and scored 2,803 hits; the Montignymitrailleuse of 3cwt., expended 4721435., and scored 1,708 hits ; the 12-pounder breech - loading fie ld gun, weighing Bcwt., expended 1,2321b5„ and scored 2,286 hits ; and the 9-pounder muzzle-loader, weighing also Bcwt., expended 1,0131b5., and made 2.207 hits. The report concludes with the details of some practice made with the several guns before the Secretary of State for War and his Royal Highness the Field Marshal Com manding-in-Chief. CRYSTAL PALACE.—One Shilling Day, Tuesday, Dec. 6th, 1870. Admission by season tickets, 1,255; ditto on payment, 701; total visitors, 1,956. With reference to the rumoured outbreak of cattle plague in Herefordshire, Mr. Fleetwood, veterinary sur geon, of Hereford, on Saturday visited the herds reported as having been attacked, and certifies that the stock are suffering from foot and mouth disease only. FEELING IN CHINA.—The following is taken from a letter dated Hong Kong, October 10, 1870 :—" Your war in Europe has quite deprived us of the attention our case deserves. I hope next mail will bring us news of peace between France and Prussia, and of the starting of an expedition for China. It must come to that. The Chinese are drinking in with the utmost avidity all the accounts that reach us of French disasters. They say the French won't now.come to. China, because theycan't ! The result. of. this confidence on their part is but too evident. They are making enormous preparations• to meet the French if they do think of coming, and matters simply now stand thus :—lf somebody does not come to teach them better manners, every foreigner, without regard to nationality, will have to make up his mind either to leave China or be murdered. Last week Canton was very much disturbed. Residents there are getting very un comfortable. Altogether, the anti -foreign feeling is now rampant throughout the whole empire, and nothing but the bayonet will put it down." The general meeting of the members of the above club Was held yesterday at the Agricultural Hall, Lord Powis in the ,chair. There was a large ;attendance of members from all parts of England. The report stated that Lord Powis had given a prize of £2O for the best instrument for slaughtering animals. which should efficiently supersede the poleaxe by dividing the spinal marrow. Entries could be made up to the lst October next, and the exhibitors would be re quired to shew their inventions, in practical work, to the appointed judges, The Council had determined to abandon the annual dinner, as it was so scantily attended, and had also decided not to publish a report ,a the animals exhibited, as it was found impossible in the limited time to obtain suffi cient materials for .the compilation of a report which Should have any permanent value. The Privy Council had again given special permission for removing the animals exhibited at the show beyond the Me tropolitan district. The only regulation to be enforced was that a certificate should be received from one of the veterinary inspectors of the Club prior to any animal being removed. The statement of accounts was of a very satisfactory character, and, in conclusion, the council congratulated the members on the continued prosperity of the Club. The report having been adopted, .the various champion prizes and cups were presented by the ' noble chair man. Mr. Palver, who carried off the champion prize for stock, said it was twenty years since he first ex hibited at Smithfield, and then he was unsuccessful, though his animal was commended. His friends then toll him it was useless to shew in the same classes as nobleman and gentlemen, as the length of their purses would be more than a match for his skill and perseverance. He deter mined to persevere, however, and he had gained a number of prizes, this last being the honour he had coveted. He might assert that his ox had gained more money than any ox ever before had. It had taken 23 first prizes, two seconds, and one third, the aggregate value being £368 ss. He was now going to Leeds, and, if lucky, should get £5l 10s. more, and after that he thought the animal would bring him £lOO. (Cheers.) Lord Walsingham, who took the leading prize for sheep, said his great aim had been to obtain good mutton, and he believed that aim was best answered by promoting the improvement of the Southdowns.—The Right Hon. Lord Penrhyn was elected president of the club for the year 1872, and the other officers having been elected the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the noble chairman. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales paid a visit yesterday morning to the Smithfield Club Cattle Show now being held at the Agricultural Hall, Islinglton. The visit was a strictly private one, but it had been rumoured that the . Prince was expected, and the result was that large numbers of persons assembled to give him a welcome. His Royal Highness arrived at the Barford-street entrance to the Hall about eleven o'clock, and was met by the President, the Earl of Powis, Lord Bridport, Lord Walsingham, Lord Tredegar, the Stewards of the Show, several members of the Council, Mr. Brandeth Gibbs, the honorary secretary, &c. His Royal Highness, who is an exhibiter and prize winner, was conducted through the building, and conversed freely with those who accom panied him upon the merits of the animals exhibited. The visit extended over an hour, and the Prince, before leaving, expressed his delight at the excellence of the show, and his gratification at the success which has attended the Smithfield Club. THE NEW ARCHDEACON OF LONDON. It is reported that the Archdeaconry of London has been accepted by the Right Rev. Piers Calverley Claughton, D.D , who has been Bishop of Colombo since 1362. He will also act as suffragan to the Bishop of London. Both of them were educated at Oxford about the same time. By Act of Parliament the Archdeacrn of London has a stall in St. Paul's Cathedral, value £650 ; he has also a share of the patronage in the gift of the Chapter. With respect to the post rendered vacant by the death of Dr. Hale —the mastership of the Charter House, which is re ported to be worth £BOO per annum, besides many col lateral advantages—thereis much speculation. According to custom the appointment would be given to the preacher, Dr. Currie. DESPATCHES OF PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF. Prince Gortschakoff's circular of October 31, was ac- Companied by despatches to the different Russian repre sentatives abroad. That addressed to Baron Brunnow at London has been published already. That addressed to the Minister at Vienna dwells strongly upon the fact that Count Beust himself in 1867 suggested a revision of the Paris Treaty. The despatch to the Minister at Florence urges that Italy has no interest whatever in pre serving the situation created by the Treaty of 1856. In addressing the Charge d'Affaires at Tours, Prince Gorts chakoff says he thinks it right that the present Govern ment of France should be made immediately acquainted with the decision of Russia. " The war of 1854 and the Treaty of 1856 mark the first steps of a meddling policy which has unhinged all Europe, and led to such disastrous consequences. Whatever Go verment may be ultimately established in France, it will have to consider it its task to heal the ' Wounds inflicted by so pernicious a system." Finally, to the representatives of Russia, at the Turkish Court, the Muscovite Minister says :—" Spare no effort, to convince the Grand Vizier that the step which necessity and the duty of vindicating the dignity and security of his Empire have compelled his Majesty to take, does not imply any hostile or unfriendly intentions towards the Porte, I need not dwell upon this, as it is a point which has been treated at length in so many of our previous communications to you. However, I will add one observation. The unnatural state of things established by the Treaty of 1856 not only mars the existing relations between Russia and Turkey, but alio gives direct en couragement to those who hope for or reckon upon a rupture between these two Powers." THE WICKLOW PEERAGE CASE. - - The extraordinary Wicklow peerage case is likely again shortly to come before the public in a court of law. Shortly before the close of the last session of Parliament Mrs. Howard presented a petition to the House of Lords praying that her claim on behalf of her infant son might be revived, as circumstances had come to her knowledge that the present earl had offered his solicitor, Mr. O'Brien, a douceur of six hundred pounds in the event of his suc ceeding to the title, and that various witnesses had been bribed to give evidence against her claim. It is now understood that Mrs. Howard feels herself in a position to take legal proceedings. —Freeman's Journal. • A new daily Liberal paper is to be started in Bir mingham, on Monday, January 2nd. Its title is to be " The Birmingham Morning Hews," and its price, one penny. - CONTRA CT FOR CLOTHING FOREIGN TROOPS. — The Limerick correspondtnt of the Cork Herald states on authority that Sir Peter Tait has entered into a contract for the supply of 150,000 uniforms for a continental army, and that in a fortnight another contract for the supply of 200,000 uniforms will be entered into. RECALL OF Mn. MOTLEY.—Mr. Motley has re ceived his letters of recall, annd took leave of the United States Legation yesterday. His Excellency, it is under stood, had an audience of the Queen at Windsor in the afternoon. Mr. Moran, who has long been Secretary of the United States Legation in England, will act as Charge d'Affaires pending the appointment of Mr. Mot ley's successor. Mr. Motley proposes, it is said, to reside for some time at the Hague. THE LATE DUCHESS D'AUMALE. Yesterday beirig the anniversary of the death of the lamented duchess, there was a large gathering of the Orleans princes, relations and friends, at the residence of the Duke d'Aumale, Orleans Ho use, Twickenham, who proceeded in some twenty carriages early in the morning direct to Weybridge, and attended Mass at the private chapel belonging to Miss Taylor, w h e re the remains of the duchess were interred in the temporary resting place of the ex-King Louis Phi lli p e, his Queen Amelie, and other deceased members of this illustrious house. Mass was performed at about ten o'clock by the resident priest. The prisoners taken at Bretoncelles—a place where the Duke of Mecklenburg encountered some resistance on his march westwards—did not reflect much c redit on the French army. " Penned up in the old church of Bretoncelles they looked bedraggled and m i se rable, and their appearance was not belied by the account they gave of themselves. Few had been above a fortnight in the army • they all seemed to be t h ere thoroughly against their Will, and had complaints to make of their officers, of their rations, and of their trea t m ent generally. In fact, they seemed utterly de moralized." The Staatsanzeigeo has begun to publish a list of the names of the privates and non-commissioned officers who have distinguished themselves during the present war, with a short account of the actions by which they have done so. One may be cited as an example. In the battle of Woerth, Sergeant Kabisch displayed something moi e than mere personal courage. During th e e ngagement in the wood which took place early in the afternoon, he and his half-train got separated from the company. On con tinuing their advance they came to an open space, where they were attacked by a division of hostile infantry, which, though it had been broken, was far more numerous than they. Still, by taking advantage of the. grpund, and opening a quick fire, be made such an impression on the advancing force that from 300 to 400 men threw down their arms and begged for quarter. The inquiry into the allegations contained in the peti tion against the return of Mr. Straight for Shrewsbury was resumed yesterday morning at ten, and evidence was taken in support of the petition.—John Maddok said he had promised to support Mr. Cotes, the Liberal candi date, when John Roberts, a Conservative canvasser, called upon him and offered him 10s. if he would vote for Mr. Straight. In cross-examination Mad lox admitted that it was his wife, not Roberts, who first spoke about the money. —Martha Maddox, the wife, was called, and she repeated the story of Roberts's offer, but.adtnitted that she Itallaid it was a joke; indeed, she still believed that Roberts meant it as such.—Thomas Lewis stated that he hea6l gentleman, unknown to him, and a workman in the service of Mr. Groves, named Thomas Foulkes, offer a voter named Edwards £lO for his vote for the Conserva tive candidate.—Thomas Grey deposed that he remem bered the case to which Lewis referred. He heard Foulkes and Captain Whitmore calling to Edwards, but he was not near enough to catch what actually passed, and he could not, therefore, either corroborate or deny the truth of the evidence given by the previous witness. He (Grey) was in the service of the corporation. John Edwards was then called, and corroborated the evidence of Lewis. A gentleman, who was a perfect stranger to him, came to him upon the polling day, accompanied by Foulkes, and offered him £lO if he would vote for Mr. Straight : " And more, too, if you want it." The witness answered that he would not sell his vote for £loo.—William Davis saw a gentle. man, whom he did not know, but who wore a white hat, talking with Edwards on the polling day. Wit ness overheard the gentleman offer Edwards £lO for his vote. Then he offered the money generally, but nobody accepted it ; whereupon, with an oath, he declared, "If any of you vote, here is £10." Edwards persistedin refusing the money.—William Reigh stated that Groves asked him to vote for Straight. He replied that he had never in his life voted for a Tory, but he was now out of work. Grove told him to go to the borough inspector, and tell him to give him work. Witness did so, and was immediately set to employment. On the polling day " the gentleman" offered him £IC to vote for Straight ; but at that time he had already voted. Grove on the same day and previously before he polled asked him to vote for Straight. He answered he would rather not vote at all. Grove shook his fist at him, asking fiercely, " What do you say sir ? Who gave you work ?" The next Saturday the borough inspector gave him and four or five others notice, saying he did not want them. THE HARROW RAILWAY ACCIDENT. The inquest at Harrow was resumed yesterday, at the Railway Inn, Harrow, Dr. Diplock, coroner, presiding. Mr. Waster, barrister-at-law, appeared for the family of Mr. Jeffry es, of Manchester, who was one of the killed; Mr. East, of Birmingham, represented Mr. Alfred Harrison, of that town, and Mr. Humphreys, Mr. King, who were among the injured. Colonel Hutchinson, inspector of the Board of Trade was also present. Charles Robinson, signalman at Wembly, in examination, stated that on the night of the accident he had come on duty at five o'clock. He stopped the goods train for a minute. He did so because a train had passed not three minutes previously. When he signalled "Stop !'s to the goods train he did not signal to the next station behind it that he had done so. Shortly afterwards the signal came from Harrow to the effect that the line was blocked there by the goods train. He had fog signals in his box. It was left to his discretion to use tici6in or not. The express passed him at full speed. The danger signal was up, but it was foggy. He never saw a train pass the danger signal without slowing before. The driver could have seen the signal as he went up the line to satisfy himself whethr or not it could be seen and he found it could. Finding, as the express came to his box, that it did not whistle or shut off steam, he attempted to put two fog-signals on the line. He had a; 'hand-lamp shewing red, which he displayed. HA had no means of telegraphing to the signalman at Harrow, after lie placed the fo b -signals, that the express was coming on. He could not do so because the needle was immovable. He entered the service on the 20th October. Before this his business had been that of a miner. From the 20th to the 31st October he was at Willesden. It would take the goods train five or six minutes to run from his box to Harrow. He did not know whether the driver should cone within Rule 38. He had pot had time to acquaint himself with the rules sufficiently, considering the short time he had been in the service. When he sent off the goods train he did not consider that the driver had only eleven minutes to get to Harrow to shunt. He knew that was the time. He could not tell where between Wembly and Harrow the block was. For all he knew, it might have been so far back as the Harrow distance signal. Not knowing where the block was, it did not occur to him to put on fog signals, because it was his firm belief that they could see the signals. —By Colonel Hutchinson : Had only reserved signal of the empties on the line. The fixed signal of the third line had not a back light. It had a small round light, but not like the front one—it was a white light. When he went to see if he could distinguish, the red light he did not notice the small one. He could not say why he did not. The distance signal had also a small back white light. He could not see this back light when the express passed. —By Mr. Blenkinsopp : Before he went to the Wembly cutting, he was instructed in the signals, and passed an examination. He was examined twice. Although he bad not had time to consider all the rules in the book he had made himself acquainted with those referring to him self—a good many of them. It was the usual thing when the danger signal was up that the engine man should shut off his steam and whistle. It was in consequence of the engine man not doing this that he put the fog signal. Thomas Eastman, pointsman at the North Box, Wiles den Old Station, said it was his duty to start the goods trains down. He remembered the train of empty trucks that left Willesden at four o'clock. It went in the place of an ordinary train,. the 4.20 from Camden, which was behind. He had a time-table in his box of all the trains. He signalled this train to leave at 4.54 by his clock. The 4.37 went in front of this train ; that was a passenger train. It passed his box at 4.53. The express was due at Willesdon Junction at 5.9. He had not in his time table the time the express would pass his box. Could not say how long it remained at the station. It took the goods train fifteen minutes to go to his station from Harrow. John Long, signalman, City Junction, gave evidence as to the time the goods and express trains left his station. Stephen Bourne, principal clerk in the examiner's office of her Majesty's Customs : He was coming down from Harrow, passing the station as the express train went through. He was on the bridge as the express train went under it. He heard a fog signal, and on looking down, could see that a train was passing rapidly throng,h, but the fog was too thick to distin g uish what kind of a train it was. Somebody with him re marked that the train was going through with great rapidity, and he took out his watch, saying, " That's the five o'clock express." Ile heard one fog signal and the engine whistle before it passed the bridge. The fog was thicker on the London part of the station than it was beyond. At this stage of the proceedings the examination of witnesses was adjourned until Wednesday. CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.—OR Monday a young man, named Joseph H. Penklyn, alias Frederick Sykes, was brought before the Queenstown magistrates, charged with embezzling from his employers in London the sum of £lOO. A transit warrant was granted to Detective Campbell, of Scotland Yard, to convey him to London. The prisoner was arrested on board a steamer about to start for America. IMPORTANT TO TRADESMEN.—Mr. William Haynes, an extensive greengrocer, carrying on business in various parts of London, was summoned, at the Westminster Police-court, under . the Metropolitan Streets Act, for allowing vegetable on a barrow to rest longer than neces sary for loading or unloading in a certain public carriage way in Tachbrook-street and Churtin-street, Pimlico. The facts were not disputed ; Sergeant Hillock, of the B Division, proving the barrows standing for five hours, and the defendant and his servants serving therefrom, Mr. W. D. Smyth, of Rochester-row, appeared for the defendant, and submitted broadly that the commissioner of police, under the powers of the Metropolitan Streets Act, had made regulations for the guidance of coster mongers, itinerant traders, and hawkers, who congregated in large numbers round the defendant's premises, and in. some instances undersold him. He saw no reason to believe that the defendant, although a tradesman, should not be a costermonger, if he chose, for his own protection. After referring to the definition of the word costermonger, which appeared very vague, Mr. Smyth said his client had no wish to offend, but he required the matter set at rest, and to put an end to the frequent complaints of the police. Mr. Woolrych was clearly of opinion that a costermonger was not a shopkeeper, but an itinerant vendor. He, therefore, was against the defendant, but in consideration of the question he had raised he shoul I only order him to pay the cost of the summons.
