By Edward Newman, F.L.S., F.Z.S. Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature ; also a description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of Appearance, and Localities where found. Each moth is drawn from nature by George Willie, and engraved in his best style by John Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species ; and if varieties require it, three, four, five, and even six figures are given. The work is complete iu thirty-one monthly numbers, at 6d. each. The work is also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at Is. 6cl. each part, l'art 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 ever 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'4 work on the British Moths is a benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a tent-book by a high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or drawing - room table. It embodies the results of many years' earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento mologist deservedly stands high. . . . We notice also with satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst 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. . Wo unhesitatingly commend this volume to our readers. We regard it as a very useful addition to our library."

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 qdestions raised by Dr. Colenso and others, which have not yet received competent answer. At the same time all candid opponents, misled by false teaching, but sincerely inquiring after truth, will be treated with forbearance and respect, and willingly aided in their search.

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. STANFORD, Charing Crosi. 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 powtsges 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 readabla."—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. " 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 might extend into the compass of two goodly volumes. . . . . In 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. lie has an eye quick to see, and a pen that enables him to tell right pleasantly, and not a little vividly, what he has seen. . . . . Mr. Evill was fortunate enough, in company with his friend, Mr. Charles Kent, the poet, to see the pro cession in St. Peter's, on the opening day of the Vatican Council. His description of it is very graphic."—Western Morning News. " Italy has been described to the reading world again and again, and, therefore, the charm of Mr. Evill's book is not the charm of novelty, but it has a charm. There is a fresh, 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. Sonic 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.

HOMELESS BOYS OF LONDON REFUGES FOR HOMELESS AND DESTI TUTE CHILDREN and CHICHESTER TRAINING SIIIP.--Upwards of ZOO Boys and Girls are now being supported in these Refuges and Ship. Owing •to the benevolent and praiseworthy exertions which hare 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 ss. for a month.

I have incessantly and actively advocated a system of National Unsectarian Education. For twenty years I have studied the wants, the claims, the rights of the people ; and have all that time been in the habit of expres sing my opinions, as a public journalist, on the questions which have arisen affecting their moral and material well-being. I have been led to believe that my humble services to the pub- Be cause will recommend me to the place of honour I seek at the new Education Council. I represent no sect, no party, no clique, and am not specially supported by any organisation. I base my candidature broadly on my known participation in the political progresses of the last twenty years, of which the Elementary Education Bill of 1870 is the most important. Trusting to be favoured with your support on the day of election, I remain, Gentlemen, Yours, faithfully, BLANCHARD JERROLD. Reform Club, Oct. 17th 1870.

Yes ; and Europe will not forget the French statesman's modest saying that " When France is satisfied, Europe is tranquil." Perhaps, indeed, when France is tranquil Europe will be satisfied. No doubt, at least, Germany will. ARMIES IN THE AlR.—Every day's telegrams bring some fresh wonder. From the Royal Headquarters at Versailles, the other day, came a message stating that " two balloons, with five passengers, have been captured by Prussian hussars, and brought to Versailles." Were the hussars who captured those aerial vehicles a flying squadron ? nyhow, we may expect soon to see armies whose right and left wings will enable them to fly aloft. SAYINGS AND DOINGS.

A BAD SHOT.---This is no more than we expected : "The report that the King of Prussia narrowly escaped being shot on leaving Versailles is without foundation."

INFALLIBLE WISDOM.—The Pope, on being asked what part of Rome his Holiness intended keeping, replied, Vat-I-can. TALL TALKING.—Mr. Gladstone's now famous article in the Evinburgh Review has apparently suggested a calcu lation, made by some one with a good deal of spare time on his hands, that during the last session the Premier was on his legs 178 times, and that his speeches ' cut out of the Titles, and pasted together, would reach as high as the Monument. Isn't it astonishing that, going up so high, they should after all amount to so little? The health of Bishop Sumner, the ex-Bishop of Winchester, gives cause for anxiety amongst his lordship's relatives and many friends.

THE LATE GALES.—REWARD FOR' SAVING LIFE AT SEA. —The Swansea Harbour trustees ac their monthly meeting voted a reward of £5 to the crew of the steam tug Pero Gomez for their exertions On the night of the 12th of October, during the late terrific gale, by which the lives of the crews of the Brigand of Whitstable and the Joseph et Marie, of Aury, were all saved. A vote of thanks was also passed to Mr. R. Rosser, the owner of the Pero Gomez. for allowing his vessel to go out on the night in question. The act is rendered all the more libe ral on the part of Mr. Rosser, i since it is known that insu rance o ffi ces will not pay any insurance on steam-tugs that are lost in going to the rescue of other vessels, the risk being hazardous. Bourbaki's army of the North has been strengthened by a large number of men, who have escaped from Metz. The Daily News correspondent writes :—The German forces may find this "Army of the North," treated by them hitherto with such contemptuous neglect, more for midable in quality, though not in numbers, than they have expected ; for although of the Metz rank and file who,. by some f i n esse or hardiesse, got through from t he capitulation hither there are not enough to form, as hadbeen proposed, a separate corps de vengeurs, there are still enough of them to communicate some tone to the others. Of officers, however, there is a larger proportion of Metz refugees. I may safely assume, after having voyaged with scores of these weary pilgrims in all the various stages of their progress Lille-ward, that during the last fortnight a daily average of at least one hundred and fifty . serviceable men and officers who formed part of Bazaine's amy have come through to Lille: The judicial committee of the Privy Council had before them the case of llebbert (hertofore Elphinstone), against the Rev. J. Purchas. This was an appeal against a judgment of the Dean of Arches (Sir It. J. PhMimore), delivered in February, 1870, in a case promoted by Colonel Elphinstone against the Rev. J. Purchas, perpetual curate of the Church of St. James, Brighton. The appeal is from the decree, inasmuch as the judge did not omit or decline to pronounce that Mr. Purchas had not offended against the statute law and constitution. It was submitted that the respondent-should.have been,ad monished against offending in future, and thit lae - should have been condemned in costs in respect.of the matters complained of, alleged to have been proved against him. Mr. Stephens, Q.C., who appeared with Mr. Archibald, and Mr. Shaw for the appellant, the respondent not being represented, proceeded to argue the case for the appellant. After some further proceedings their lordships adjourned. THE ST. ALBAN'S CASE. The case " Martin v. Mackonochie " was heard be fore the Judical Committee of the Privy Council, composed of the Lord Chancellor, Lord Chelmsford, and the Archbishop of York. Mr. J. Stevens, Mr. Archibald, and Mr. Shaw appeared for the appellants. The def en dant did not appear, but had filed affidavits. Mr. Stevens stated the case. In this appeal, which was from the Arches Court of Canterbury, judgment was originally given by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. The appeal was from a sentence or decree pronounced by the Right Hon. Sir Robert Joseph Phillimore, the official Principal of the Arches Court of Canterbury, on the 28th March, 1868, in a cause of the officer of the judge, promoted by John Martin, Esq., against the Rev. Alexander Heriot Mackonochie, the incumbent and perpetual curate of the new parish of St. Alban's, Holborn, for having offended against the laws ecclesiastical in the following matters : By having, during the prayer of consecration, in the order of the administration of the Holy Communion, elevated the paten above his head, and permitted, and sanctioned such elevation ; and taken into his hands the cup and elevated it above his head during the prayer of Consecration, and permitted and sanctioned the cup to be so taken and elevated, and knelt or'prostrated himself before the consecrated elements, during the prayer of Consecration ; and permitted and sanctioned such kneeling or prostrating by other clerks in Holy Orders. He was further charged with using lighted candles at the Communion Table during the celebration of the Holy Communion, when not wanted for giving light ; with using incense, and with having mixed water with the sacramental wine. In the Court of Arches the official principal pronounced against the respondent with regard to the elevation of the cup and paten, the use of incense and the mixing water with the wine, and admonished him to abstain from such practices in the future. The official principal, however, declined to pronounce that he had offended in regard to the kneeling or prostration, or the use of lighted candles. The appeal, therefore, had reference only to the kneeling or prostrating before the concecrated elements. After hearing Counsel on both sides their lordships confirmed the monition of the official principal, and pro nounced as well against him in regard to the prostration or kneeling and the use of lighted candles, condemning him in costs. On the 4th of December, 1869, the Lords of the Committee having heard the respondent and his counsel in reply to a motion to enforce the monition, pronounced that he had not obeyed the montion with respect to the kneeling and prostration, and admonished him to abstain therefrom in future. The learned counsel now said that affidavits of Edward John Pond, Henry Dangar, and Nathaniel White had been filed, from which it appeared that the respondent continued to dis obey the said monition, and that he knowingly and habitually sanctioned the elevation of the paten and cup above the head of the officiating clergyman in the prayer of Consecration during the celebration of the Holy Communion, such elevation being the practice of his curates when saying the said prayer in his place and stead,and in his presence; and further, that he habitually sanctioned kneeling or prostration both by himself and curates. The appellant, therefore, prayed their lordships to declare that the respondent had not complied with the monition, and that it might be enforced as their lordships should deem meet. Mr. Stevens quoted various authorities to shew that the actions of the respondent were strictly in keeping with the understood meaning of bowing or prostration, and that the monition had been consequently disobeyed. The learned counsel then referred in detail to the affidavits filed on the part of the respondent. They included those of the Rev. Arthur Henry Stanton, the Rev. Henry Edward Willington, curates of St. Albans, and Mr. Lay man, churchwarden of the same parish. That of the re spondent was in effect as follows :—That on the afternoon of the 4th of December 1869, the day on which the judg ment of the Court to enforce the monition was delivered, he expressed to the assistant-curates of the church of St. Albans that he intended the monition should be obeyed. In celebrating the Holy Communion on June 17 he stood and remained standing during the whole of the Prayer of Con secration in the said service, and did not at any time during that time kneel or in any way bend his knee or knees. Since that time this rule has been invariably carried out. With regard to the affidavits of Nathaniel White, Edward John Pond, and Henry Dangar, they were not, it was stated, regular worshippers at the Church of St. Alban's. The respondent further stated that he was convinced that no intelligent person carefully observing his gestures during the consecration prayer on the 17th June, or any other time since the delivery of the judgment of their lordships could have imagined that he had knelt, or in any way bent his knee or knees. At this stage of the case Mr. Stephens applied for an adjournment, to enable him to examine those who had filed affidavits on the part of the respondents, which was granted. THE WINTER CIRCUITS OF THE JUDGES. The remaining arrangements for the Winter Circuits of the judges are now completed, as follows, viz. : Mr. Justice Byles :—Leeds, Wednesday, November 30th; York. Wednesday, December 7th; Derby, Monday, December 12th. Mr. Baron Bramwell :—Cardiff, Tuesday December 6th ; Worcester, Friday, December 9th ; Warwick not fixed. THE RECORDERSHIP OF COLCHESTER.—MT. Phelbrick has been appointed Recorder of Colchester, in the room of Mr. Bushby, one of the recently appointed metropolitan police magistrates. SONGS Al( BALMORAL.—At a musical soiree at Balmoral, a few evenings since, a new ballad, " The Parted," was sung by the Princess Louise with great feel ing, to the delight of her Majesty and the distinguished party. The Marquis of Lorne sang Gounod's charming romance for a tenor voice, " The Empress of my Soul," with much artistic taste and finish.—Birntingham Gazette. SUICIDE or A SOLICITOR.—Mr. Edward Gayford, solicitor, Birmingham, lately employed by Messrs. Beale, Marigold, and Beale, shot himself through the heart as he was leaving home on' Tuesday morning, and fell dead on his own doorstep. He was about 30 years of age, and recently married. No reason can be assigned for the suicide. OPENING SHOPS ON SUNDAY.—Mr. Spooner, the Wednesbury Stipendiary, on Tuesday, fined a tobacconist one penny for keeping his shop open on Sunday. In in flicting this penalty, Mr. Spooner, while expressing his disapproval of Sunday trading, said the law had become so obsolete, and was broken so generally, that one man ought not to be picked out and punished so long as the multitude of offenders were allowed to go free. BEALES.—At the Cambridge County Court on Tuesday, Judge Beales said he had been misrepresented in the papers as to issuing an order that attorneys and solicitors practising under him should appear in " suitable attire"—that is, in gowns and bands. He gave no such order, although he approved of such a course, but he left it en tirely to the parties themselves. M. P. Adccock, the only solicitor who appeared in " attire," said he had been in duced to do so from the representations made, coupled with a postal-card advertisement from a well-known London robe-maker, offering to supply the requisite articles, and referring him to the judge's alleged order. The judge said the party had no authority to use his name. ENCOUNTER WITH A THIEF.—On Tuesday night, John Taylor, a cab proprietor at Sunderland, discovered that some premises had been entered into by thieves. On entering he was attacked by two men, and knocked down with a " jemmy." A retriever dog kept the men at bay until Taylor got to his feet again. On doing so he seized a log of wood to defend himself with. One man then made off, but the other again attacked Taylor, and a struggle ensued. A policeman, a quarter of a mile dis tant, heard cries for help, and on coming found both men severely cut, especially the thief, whose head was mu ch injured. He had to be carried for a mile to the station, and thence to the infirmary. The doctors prono unced him past recovery. unfortunate, was charged before Mr. Knox, at .he Marl- . borough-street Police-court, with being drunk and dis orderly in Hyde-park. The prisoner was taken into custody on Monday night in Hyde-park, by Police constable Alexander Worler, 101 A, and as she refused to walk she was obliged to be brought to the court yesterday on a stretcher. She was three times brought before Mr. Arnold, being carried into court. She, however, con ducted herself in such an extraordinary manner—raving; - crying, and pretending to be in fits—that Mr. Arnold ordered her to be taken out of court, and marked the charge sheet to the effect that she was not in a fit con dition to be brought into court. She has been several times in custody, and on every occasion has behaved in a similar manner. Her conduct is said to be nothing but the effect of temper ; and in more th tan one instance the mention of the galvanic battery has had the result of calming her. On being brought into Court to-day Worler proved seeing the prisoner behaving in a very disorderly manner in Hyde Park, stopping gentlemen and acting in a disgusting manner. On telling her that he should take her to the station she flung herself down and behaved in a very violent manner, kicking and trying to bite everyone who came near her. Barns, the gaoler, said the prisoner had been several times in custody and always conducted herself in a similar manner. Worler said that at 9 o'clock last night the prisoner was all right, but as soon as he (Worlerj went into the cell she threw herself down and began again. Mr. Knox committed her for a month. COWARDLY ASSAULT.—John Dines was charged before Mr. Knox, at the above Court, with assaulting a female named Sarah Slade. Mr. Moore, of the Associate Institute for Enforcing the Laws for the Protection of Women, watched the case. The complainant said she was leaving a tavern at the corner of Dudley-street. the previous evening with a sister, who was going to Devonshire, when the prisoner followed them out, and without a word having passed between any of them, gave her two severe blows, one on the nose and the other on the mouth—one of the blows being given in the presence of a constable. Police-con stable Dennis, 237 E, proved seeing the prisoner strike the complainant in the mouth, stating that the com plainant had drank his liquor. The complainant said that the prisoner had told a falsehood. Mr. Knox said it was a cowardly assault, and committed the prisoner for a month, with hard labour. SERIOUS CHARGE OF RECEIVING.—Mr. Josiah Cox, a general dealer of 4, Lower North-street, Chelsea, was brought before the Westminster Police-court, charged with feloniously receiving 15 yards of Brussels carpet and a hearth-rug, the property of Messrs. Rogers and Dear, Knightsbridge, stolen recently. Mr. W. D. Smyth, of Rochester-row, defended. A. Watts, a detective, proved that he went to Mrs. Palmer, No. 4, Montpelier-row, and found the carpet and hearth-rug perfectly new. From what he was told he went to the [prisoner, who denied at first selling it, but afterwards owned he had sold some which he had bought of a woman. The pre mises were searched, and no book or memorandum was found relating to the purchase of the carpet. Mrs. Palmer proved giving prisoner £2 for the carpet. She knew nothing of him before, and did not know where he lived. She gave 2s. a yard for it, and the hearthrug Bs. Mr. Woolrych said it appeared good carpet, worth 4s. or s. per yard. In cross-examination Mrs Palmer admitted prisoner had sold her three lots of carpet ; she asked no question, and believed her son sent the prisoner to sell the carpet. Mr. Alfred Dear, St. George's-place, upholsterer, proved that the carpet and rug were the property of the firm; pieces had been missed for some months, and two months ago four carpets and some chintz were stolen. He saw some of the carpet hanging up outside the prisoner's shop, and gave information. They suspected a woman who was now in their employ. There was nothing un common,in the pattern. A second case was then gone into 'of receiving a table belonging to Messrs. Dear. Prisoner was remanded for a week, without bail. MUTILATION OF AN INNOCENT.—Edward Deborich, aged 24 years, of No. 22, James-street, Shoreditch, was charged at the Thames Police-court with destroying and breaking a child's hand. Mr. Lushington, the magistrate, asked for an explanation, and was informed that the hand the prisoner was charged with breaking was mado of wax. Mr. Francis Palmer, wax-work exhibitor, said he was displaying for the gratification of the public a beautiful wax-work exhibition, and there was a representative of the Marshall family murdered at Uxbridge. The prisoner entered the room in which the murdered children were on a bed, and put one hand on the face of one of the children several times. He was told to leave the children, but he continued his eccentric conduct by slapping their faces, and at last cut the hand of one child upon another's face with such force that he completely demolished the innocent's hand, which was rendered use less. A new hand would cost him 4s. The prisoner : You offered to take ls. last night. Palmer: So I did, rather than come here. Mr. Lushington doubted very much whether the damage was wilful, and recommended a compromise. The complainant fell in with the magis trate's suggestion, and accepted 3s. for the infant's mutilated hand, and the prisoner was discharged, and claimed the hand as his own. Palmer : You may have it. All the murdered little ones are perfect, except this one. STRANGE DIVORCE CAGE.—In the Divorce Court, be• fore Lord Penzance, the cause of "Ironsides v. Ironsides" was tried. The petitioner, a person in a respectable posi• tion, met the respondent at Margate, and became ena moured of her. She confessed that she had not altogether led a proper life, but he married her, and took a house in - London. They lived happily for some time, until the petitioner discovered that his wife had forged his name to several cheques. He remonstrated with her, and she left him. Hearing that she was charged with stealing £4 from the house of the woman with whom she lodged, the petitioner paid the amount, got her re leased, and renewed the cohabitation. He bought a stock of sewing macuines, and took a shop, in but on co ing home one night he found that his wife had decamped, and had taken everything with her. He, however, allowed her £1 per week when he next heard of her. When he had been married less than a year the respondent led him to believe that she was enceinte, and on his return one night it was stated she had been confined. Inquiries, however, shewed that the re spondent, a person named Skelpinghorne, and his wife had agreed to foist a strange child on him. For this offence they were sentenced to three months' imprison ment at the Central Criminal Court. Abundant evidence was given of the adultery, and Lord Penzance granted a decree nisi. SINGULAR CHARGE AGAITST BOYS.—Two young but desperate burglars, whose ages were respectively 20 and 22, , were brought up at the Marylebone Police-office, charged with breaking into the chapel of St. Mary of the Rosary, in Homer-road, and stealing the Communion plate. Their booty was in an iron safe, but by introducing gunpowder into the lock they shattered the fastenings. They also broke, open and plundered the poor-boxes. They were apprehended on suspicion, and being placed in cells Nos. 2 and 4, a police officer was stationed in No. 3, and by the conversation which afterwards passed between the rogues information was gleaned which will probably lead to the recovery of the property. They were remanded. AN IRISH DIVORCE CASE.—The Taylor divorce case is the theme of general conversation in Dublin. The re spondent is the son of a clergyman, and enjoys an income of more than £l,OOO a year. The evidence has revealed some extraordinary details of domestic misery —a more ill assorted•pair could scarcely be imagined. Mr. Taylor is represented as a man of ferocious disposition when under the influence of drink, and one of the many acts of cruelty charged against him is that on one occasion he dragged his wife round the room by the hair of her head. Amongst the minor acts of violence of which it is alleged he has been guilty are included the throwing of a chair at her, and the destruction of what women usually hold so dear—her trinkets. Mrs. Taylor's sister seems to have fallen in for a considerable share of his violence. The evidence of the plaintiff is in its main features supported by the testimony of the domestic ser vants, one of whom put Mr. Taylor to bed together with a bluftderbus he possessed himself of for the purpose of shooting his wife. Some well-informed Americans, lately arrived in London, states that the Harvard gentlemen will ag a i n , throw down the gauntlet to the Oxford Boat Club, al though it is probable that the challenge will be delayed until the new year. THE PRINCE IMPERIAL.—Sinoe the return of his Royal Highness Prince Arthur to his military duties at Woolwich, the Prince Imperial has been a frequent visitor at the Royal residence in Greenwich Park. The English Prince takes great interest in his young guest, I who,' on his part, is never better pleased than in hearing his Royal Highness's descriptions of life in Canada and the United States, or in examining the photographs and presents which he brought home with him from America. Amongst these are some old muskets and other trophies taken from the Fenians in their celebrated raid into Canada last year, on which occasion the Prince's regiment (Ist Battalion Rifle Brigade) was sent to the front. Prince Arthur occasionally rides over to Chislehurst, on a visit to the Empress and Prince Imperial at Camden house.
