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 Cross. Price 4s. Cd " 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 the is thoroughly readable; especially in the pas sa g es referring to 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. Evil, 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. book has the merit of being thoroughly readable."—PallMall Gazette. "Raving read the book through from cover to cover—of itself an eulogium from any reviewer—we could certainlnot spare Mr. Evill's always animated , often graphic, and more than 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 selome times eloquent language. .. • Notwithstanding his wl worn subject, Mr. Evill has produced an agreeable little volume, which may not unprofitably detain the reader." —Daily News. " There it "to pretension whatever about the book of travels, and though iL reUtes 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 ; has journey was accomplished with great rapidity, but his ty oe Record. sketches are lively and amusing."— " 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 vol umes ln the very first page we are satisfied with the book, and are engrosse d ttle volume with ias ts contents We recommend the entire li 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. 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. Some passages, descriptive, are really excellent. The exterior and interior of Milan cathedral are put before us in glowiu; 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 hie 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 J o urney 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 y cit 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 mod ern Rome may gri, but will not m mand the assent, affront, a liberal Roman Catholic, and may co butwill not shock the better feelings, of a Liberal Protestant."-- Illustrated London News.

PREPARATION.—Ii was states about a month ago that not a single Moncrieff carriage for mounting guns in our fortresseshadbeen.coustructed, though the inventor, according to au evening contemporary, has been paid £15,000, and is receiving a handsome salary. As to our exist ing mitrailleuses, adds the same journal, they are simply non-existent. The guns which are to man our unfinished forts are in the same con dition- as our mitraill. Another journal asserted the other day that there were no torpedoes manufactured, or in the Government stores ; or only such as might be required for experimental objects. These statements, h oweve r, we believe to be unfounded. There are certainly some initrailleuses in` tores and others being manu factured. As for torpedoes e are glad to be able to state that the Government arrangements as to the supply of this defensive engine are so far advanced that half the entire number required for the defence of our coast could be laid down at a week's notice.—Broad Arrow. THE HIGHER EDUCATION OF WOMEN. The following is a full report of the Bishop of Man chester's speech at Manchester on Friday. There was a large attendance of ladies in the Town Hall, where the address was delivered. His Lordship said the objects con templated-by the Woman Suffrage Association were such as ought to be furthered by every means in their power. Individually he did not attach very much importance to lectures, in the ordinary sense of the term, unless the students attending them were well prepared beforehand upon the subject treated of : but he did attach the greatest possible importance to lectures when they took the shape of catechetical instruction in classes. The classes in connection with that Association appeared to have been formed with great discrimination. it had not escaped his observation, remen.bering that what was generally charged against ladies—or to use the more plain and homely word, women—was a deficiency in their men tal constitution, being, though admirably gifted with in tuition, bad thinkers, that the Association, as if conscious of that deficiency, had furnished the largest number of students to the logic class under Professor Jevons. The advanced thinkers on the subject of female education were mostly of transatlantic origin. In America, during his visit, he found existing in society pretty much the same ideas as were now fermenting and rising to the surface of opinion in this country. They had, moreover, taken a p ractica l form. Every high school in America, except those in Boston and Philadelphia—such schools forming the highest grade in the American educational system—was a mixed school, in which boys and girls, between the ages of 15 and 18, received their education in mixed classes, and equally through all subjects ; and he was struck with the fact that in almost all cases the ladies bore off the palm. In, he believed, Cincinnati, he found in a certain school only three Greek and the same number of Latin students, all girls, who were studying the odes of Anarcreon and Horace. The result in America did not absolutely satisfy him ; and, much as he saw to admire in the many high public qualities that ornamented and illustrated the American women, on the whale he was inclined to say that if he were looking for a wife he should not cross the Atlantic for that purpose. His views upon the subject of the education of girls carne for the most part from De Tocqueville. That writer, whilst bestowing high praise upon the education of women in America, adopted this maxim, namely, that manners—using the word in the sense of that proverb by William of Wykeham, " Manners maketh man,"—not the mere surface-polish of society, but that which went down to the very roots of the character—our manners were made fer us by our mothers and sisters ; therefore it was of unspeakable importance that the edu cation which the women of England received should be one qualifying them for the fulfilment of the great func tions that the Creator meant them to fulfil in life. His notions upon that point might be old-fashioned; but he drew them from an old-fashioned source. Paul desired that women should be " keepers," or, more strictly, workers "at home." Home seemed to be woman's proper place. De Tocque - vale pointed out that the American system was not with out danger. " Having," he said, " reached the point at which we stand, it is not allowed us to make a choice. We must have a democratic education to furnish a guarantee to women from those perils with which the institutions and the manners of a democracy surround her." He had been called a radical bishop, but he said honestly that his radicalism, whatever its colour might be, had a strong Conservative element in it, as the meeting would see by these remarks. Whilst he welcomed every thing that would make the education of women sounder, more deeply cultured, ranging more over the whole of her faculties than he was convinced the education offered to them hitherto had done, he wished to keep dis tinct the proper functions of the woman and the man in the constitution of modern society, and he could not welcome any attempts by which women sought to intrude upon functions that did not belong to them. When he saw ladies thrusting themselves in all directions into the domains of politics and medicine, he was re minded of the Athenian council iu one of the plays of Aristophanes, where the ladies. presuming to take in hand affairs of state, found that they made a mess of them, and concluded that their duty was to attend to their own busineis at home. What was wanted was a strengthening of the female character on it true divine foundations. For instance, he, the other day, was in cor respondence with a lady who wrote him a very admirable letter on the opening of schools of medicine to women. There were certain departments of medical practice which might with great advantage be committed to women ; but if any persons thought that a school of anatomy, attended by mixed classes of male and female students of from 18 to 25 years of age, was an edifying spectacle in the midst of our modern civilisation, their notions and his were widely different. What we wanted was a thing which no other agency but that of woman could give us—namely, a re-settlement of the whole structure of modern society upon sounder foundations. Modern society was not to be built upon gold. We wanted to be taught that though gold was a great element in the nation's wealth it was not the only element, nor yet the chief element, and that the nation's wealth lay in the strength of the national character. If woman made manners, it was woman's function to redeem our young men from a life of fast dissipation in which they were frittering away money,. time, energies, and public spirit ; and we not want our women to imitate those young men and encourage them. A frivolous woman was bad enough, Heaven knew ; but if there was one thing to his mind which was odious, it was a so-called " fast woman." Fast women made fast men ; and it was these who were bringing down society in England to the g round. We wanted more public spirit in England, more real devotion to great public interests ; and when one knew how woman, far more than man, could devote her self with impulsive generosity to an y great object, where, one was led to ask, were her proper functions and offices ? It was where God had meant her to set an example to man ; and anything that would deepen the foundations of woman's character, and make her the source of all true culture and refinement, he, as a Christian bishop, could most crrdially bid god-speed to. If that association con tributed in any way to the accomplishment of that end, he wished it continued prosperity. The -Manchester Examiner comments on the speech as follows :—Our good Bishop has committed an indiscre tion ; we won't say whether for t he first time, but we hope it may be for the last. The higher education of women is a subject in which he might be supposed to be pecu liarly" at home," but this is just where he has been caught tripping. Not content to take the simple work before him,_ Bishop Fraser has been poring over the views of " the most advanced class of thinkers," and he is troubled in his mind. He has seen the most extreme views advocated and as he confesses to entertaining some old-fashioned notions, he wishes to pro test in time. His visit to America five years ago seems to have unsettled him. He cannot help admiring the mental culture exhibited by Am erican women, but- he is of opinion that they are less domesticated than their Eng lish sisters, and he is prepared to sacrifice almost every thing on the altar of domesticity. We will not attempt a serious refutation of the bishop's opinions. Any com parison between the women of the two English-speaking races to be fair would have to take into account a multi plicity of causes at work in society which could not even be enumerated within the limits of an ordinary newspaper article. But on the broad question whether our women should or should not receive a higher educa tion than has hitherto been open to them, there can hardly be any divergence of opinion amongst intelligent minds. Even the Bishop casts in his vote for their better education, and, strictly speaking, that was the sole question before the meeting. The decaying public spirit of certain classes in the nation is undoubtedly a lamentable fact, but it is a questionable axiom that " fast women make fast men," unless the converse be previously admitted. At any rate, if more care were bestowed upon the intellectual as well as the moral training of women, the chatter and frivolity which so perplex the bishop would be far more likely to disappear. It would also tend to strengthen the link of companionship between the sexes,. so that from these and other advantages the bishop might extract some consolation if, as we may reasonably venture to doubt, he should have to make any sacrifice on the score of domesticity. The police can vote for the School Board. The Queen will hold a Council at Windsor Castle on Tuesday next. Mrs. Herbert (formerly Miss Lizzie Boynton, the well-known lecturer), is going to enter the office of her husband as a law student. —A/bany Law Journal. DEATH OF MR. GRAY, TILE REPORTER.

THE COUNTY COURTS.—We understand that the vacant County Court Judgeship, Essex (vacated by the death of Mr. Gord on), has been given to Mr. Charles Ed ward Coleridge, of the South ales Circuit.—Solicitors' Journal. • The Queen has been graciously pleased to give orders for the appointment of Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Osborne Creag,h- Osborne, of the Ist Battalion 6th Regi ment, to be an ordinary member of the military division of the third class, or Companions of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath. On Friday was solemnised at the parish church of Crawley, Sussex, the marriage of Mr. Home Seton Gordon, only son o Sir Home Gordon, Bart., and Miss Montagu Scott, only child of Mr. Montagu David Scott, of Hove, Sussex, and grand-daughter of the late Sir David Scott, Bart., of Dmminald. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. John Compton, M.A. NAVAL CHAPLAINS AND TNSTRUCTORS.—It ap pears that a want is being felt in the Royal Navy which it is hardly possible to suppose that the body of clergy cannot supply. This want is that of a few clergymen to take the post of chaplain who are qualified and willing to be also naval instructors. The remuneration for this two fold office begins at 18s. a day, exclusive of £5 per annum which is paid - by each young . gentleman in the ship who is under instruction, and it increases un til the retiring pension of £450 is attained. I t is the difficulty of finding accommodation on board ship for two officers that renders it desirable that the same officer should be both chaplain and naval instructor. Nothing, says the Saturday Relied ', could be more . natural or necessary than the stipulation that the solitary • achievement of the war should not he rendered h brren or useless when Russia was compelled to sue for peace. The • . English sentimentalists who, in 1870 as in 1851, are doing their utmost to encourage a presumptuous adversary, condemn as an anomaly the prohibition imposed on any State of defending its own coa sts and harbours.' A Russian Black Sea fleet has - never been designed for defence. The Crimea would have long remained exempt from the presence of foreign armies if Sebastopol had only • been constructed for the security of Odessa. As a general rule, it is more for the interest of a victor to require concessions in money . or territory than in promises, which, as experience Flews; may . be shamelessly broken. At the present . moment Russia takes credit for not reclaiming a strip of. land which was ••.. , transferred by the treaty. to Turkey for the purpose of ~ separating the Russian province of Bessarabia from the mouths of the Danube. .The reason of her moderation is sufficiently clear, for the recovering of the lost territory would require an invasion, while a promise may be broken or revoked by mere words in a diplomatic Note. It would have been desirable, if it had been possible, to obtain equally good security against the re establishment of a standing menace to Turkey ; but the only mode of pro- .. viding against the creation of a fleet and arsenal was to • • . , obtain a pledge that they should not be creates, . • • and for those of the allies who were most in earnest • , • , , to agree among themselves that a breach of the engage- ar meat should be not only a dishonourable act, but a case of • t , . war. When negotiations for peace commence in France; ' t • Count Bismarck will not fail to enforce his demand for . ~,,•'-) the surrender of territory by referring to the Russian . . precedent of contempt for the obligat ion of treaties. If . . it ,• • P -a ( ' , •.1-,,.9. it were proposed that Metz should remain dismantled, it , .' ~•,•7;, P would be objected - that Sebastopol a lso was to cease to be ;. , 'V /,' a fortress, and that nevertheless a disagreeable restriction ~ \\;!!..: ... was shaken off as soon as the immediate p ressure of supe- ''‘ci' n 1 .I‘..', rior force had been relaxed.

The Treaty of 1 856 is not dead, but alive. Five out of a seven signitaries wish it to continue, the Powers by whom it was drawn resent its refraction, the Power for whose benefit it was made appeals for aid against its infraction. If such an agree ment can be set aside, what is the value of any agree ment among the nations ? And yet, except in the rise of some overshadowing Power strong enough to make its will take the place of contracts, where is there any sub stitute for agreements to be found ? The nations cannot go without them, for that would be going without an international law, and they cannot substitute for Tr aties a code, for that would require a tribunal to en force it, and no such tribunal can be framed. Unless war is to be perpetual, Germany and France, after this war must come to some understanding, and how are they to come to one if that understanding may be nulifled with out war at the discretion of either side ? The argument always comes round to the same point,—that agreements between nations are indespensible ; that some nations, if strongly tempted and sure of impunity, will break them; and that it is therefore essential to the welfare of Europe that such violent breaches of faith should be punished. As to the fact of a breach of faith, each power, in the i absence of a tribunal, must judge for it self ; but it is % - difficult in this instance for an impartial man to deny that it has occurred. Russia agreed, and admits she agreed, to neutralize the Black Sea. She now declares that the agreement is null and void. If that is not a breach of faith, whenever was one committed in the history of the world? VT v •.- .A. • POLITICS AND THE MONEY MARKET. The Economist observes that the money market is so affected by two causes of suspense that almost nothing is done which can be helped. The war between France and Germany suspends the trade of the Continent even more than ours, and sends money here for safe custody, since in France no one can be sure of safety. But the Russian diffi culty suspends our trade as much as the war, for it is thought that if thare be a new war we shall be ha.' gerents in it, and it has no tendency to send money here. The war between France and Germany brought us some good through the midst of more evil : a possible quarrel between ourselves and Russia does us as a commercial nation no good in any way, and the mere idea of it does us great harm. And we fear that these causes of uncertainty which now absorb the money market will more or less continue to act on it for a long time. Russia is not likely at once to recede from the position she rashly assumed. As yet, indeed, she has committed no act which any other Power could rightly or wisely treat as a cases belle ; she has not broken any article of the Treaty of 1856 • she has only said that she thinks she ought not now to be bound by certain parts of it, and that perhaps she will or may break those parts. But till she has broken them we may wait if we choose ; and it would be right in ns to wait. Nothing could be more absurd either for Russia or for England than to go to war on a misconception. We are quite ready to consider whether the Treaty of 1856 ought not to be modified, and Russia only asks that it should oe modified. Some pacific solution must be pos sible when there is no irreconcileable gulf between the antagonists. But we fear that the discovery of this solu tion will take time. Diplomacy is never quick ; and a question like this, which does not of itself come to an issue, may be the subject of a correspondence lingering over months. Even the pleadings of a Chancery suit are not more tiresome than such despatches, and it is not much more easy to predict the end of one than of the other. c:: , LAW AND POLICE. THE CHARGE AGAINST REFORMATORIES. Robert Graham, a decently dressed lad, was charged on remand, at the Westminster Police-court, with stealing a £5 note from his master, Mr. Jones, a linen-draper, of Warwick street, Pimlico, and he had been remanded to enable an uncle to take charge of him, but the most interesting part of the case was that the mother had stated that her husband, a warder in Milbank prison, found among his convicts at that establishment a large proportion of men who had been in reformatories when boys, going so far as to say that 6 out of 7 was about the average ; the step father, Stokes, attended and denied having made such an assertion, his wife must have mistaken the impression ho meant to convey. In consequence of that assertion the Rev. Sidney Turner, director of reformatories, has been in communication with Mr. Arnold, the magistrate, and assured him that so far from being places of corruption they were decidedly of correction, and although they could not pretend to eradicate ~the seeds of vice from all placed in their charge, he had great pleasure in stating that not more than 8 per cent. of the reformatory boys turned out bad, nor more than 6 per cent. of the girls. The statement of the mother was a " simple invention, no doubt caused by the f ear of having to pay a sum of money per week for the maintenance of the boy. Mr. Arnold said a gentleman had attended from the rev. gentleman, and would take the boy to be trained to a seafaring life, and as he was acting kindly in not punishing the lad, and the very clothes he wore were purchased with the stolen money, he trusted the father would, to satisfy his own conscience, refnnd the money. The father demurred to this, and Mr. Arnold said he could not compel him. He left it to his good sense of propriety and conscience.
