The November Number will show subscribers that the Literary Staff of this periodical is quite prepared to encounter all the enemies of the faith. 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 vigtorous refutation. We are promised a special set of strictly Scientific Articles on Geology, Natural History and Astronomy, dr..c., in refutation of scientific error in connection with Theolde and also on questions raised by Dr. Colenso and others, which have not yet ieceived 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 Cross. Price 4s. ad " 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 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. " Raving 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 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. 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. 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. Ms 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. Evil 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 uutravelled 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.

"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.' —Daity 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 a kigh 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. . . . . We unhesitatingly commend this volume to our readers. We regard it as a very useful addition to our library." Land and TValer, Oct. 9. London—W. TwEnnut. 337. Strand. W.O. Best Advertising Paper in the Western Counties. - - THE WESTERN MORNING NEWS. A.

Office, 6, Red Lion-square, W.C., London.—During the last 10 years this Institution has been instrumental in rescuing a vast number of poor girls from a life of degradation and misery. The plan adopted has been'to seek the wanderers in the streets of London and gather them together at the midnight hour, when short and faithful addresses have been given. During the present year the Meetings have been held nearly every week in some of the most frequented districts of the metropolis. The promoters have abundant evidence that these efforts have been most successful ill effecting a great moral change in many fallen ones. .....

URGENT APPEAL.—The Committee very earnestly appeal for Contributions in aid of the BUILDING FUND especially, as well as for the general purposes of the Charity, which has no funded property, but depends wholly upon voluntary support. No salaries are paid but to the household. The Orphange is open to visitors. • ORPHAN WORKING 'SCHOOL.—The next ELECTION for this Charity will take place in January, when Orphans will be admitted. Children for nomination should be at once put upon the list. As the Charity depends upon voluntary benevolence for four fifths of its annual income, Contributions are earnestly solicited.

Dr. Beith, of Stirling, in which he strenuously advocates a union between the Free and the Established Churches before any further attempt is made to complete the projected union between the Free and the United Presbyterian Churches. The Glasgow detective police have added another to their series of recent captures of resetters of stolen watches. The person apprehended occupied a respectable position as foreman with an extensive coach proprietor in the city, but has long been suspected of having trade" dealings with the thieves. Several gold and silver watches were found in his house, and numerous pawn tickets. The engraver who " doctored " the watches is also in custody. THE ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO SHOOT LIVERPOOL DETECTIVES.—At the Liverpool Police-court, David S. Foster, the young American charged with attempting to shoot two Liverpool detectives, was brought up on re mand. Detective Inspector Carlisle and Thornthwaite went on board the steamer Italy, on Friday week, to search for an absconding American, who had been de scribed in a telegram from New York. In the state-room they saw the prisoner, and on asking his name, he refused to tell them unless they informed him who and what they were. " Are you Custom-house officers 2" he asked, and, the inspector saying they were, he drew a revolver, and was presenting it when the inspector rushed forward and knocked it from hia hand before it could be discharged. A statement was now made to the magistrate that the prisoner was the person to whom the telegram referred, but that he had merely absconded from his home. A de tective from New York was in attendance, and Mr. Superintendent Kehoe said that if the prisoner would return to his friends with the American officer the charge of shooting would be abandoned. The prisoner readily assented to this proposal, and seemed highly pleased at • this easy deliverance from the awkward dilemma in which his rashness had placed him. As the prisoner was perfectly willing to return with the officer to New York, he was discharged. The released prisoner left the dock with Detective Walling, of the New York police force. A OHAPTEII OF IMPERIAL HISTORY, A French journalist has published a pamphlet relating the Causes which led to the present war, beginning with 1866. He says that Bismarck, when Ambassador at Paris, did his best to make himself agreeable to the Emperor, and deluded him with the impression that he (Napoleon )had complete ascendancy over the Prussian repro sentative. Through this means he arranged the celebrated bargain by which France agreed to remain neutral whilst Prussia attacked Austria. E verybody knows the result. " The Emperor, who thought to out-mancenvre Bis marck, was out-manoeuvred by him. The sudden and brilliant victories of Prussia galled and alarmed him. The conditions of the peace were still more irritating. Surprised, beaten with his own weapons, humiliated, and angry, he completely lost his head, and never afterwards recovered it. From that moment there was no unity in any of his plans. His policy became fitful and incoherent. One day the boldest schemes were broached. Another day cowardly fears prevailed. M. Drouyn de Lhuys, one of the few capable Ministers who accepted office under the Second Empire, vainly attempted to resist the overbearing acts of Prussia. Frequently it happened that after he thought he had convinced the Emperor that in a dignified course alone lay safety, and went away satisfied that his advice would be followed, he received a little note to in timate that Napoleon had changed his mind. If he re f used some exo - ibitiint demand of Prussia, or expostulated with her on some breach of faith, Count Goltz appealed to the master, and both refusal and protestation were at once annulled. We shall give two examples which occur to us. The very day after the victory of Sadowa, Count Goltz hastened to the Foreign-office at Paris to read a despatch received from his Government. Prussia, he alleged, had gone to war to destroy merely the excessive preponderance of Austria, whose narrow and reactionary ideas hindered the onward march in Germany ; the King of Prussia had no idea of conquest beyond adding a few scraps of territory to his kingdom, the united populations of which did not amount to more than 350,000 souls ; an augmentation fully sanctioned by the Emperor in his letter of 16th June, 1866, which read by M. Rouher to an applauding Chamber. In a word, Prussia desired an en larged frontier, and the day after her great victory, still thinking the consent of France necessary, she asked it through her Ambassador. The French Minister replied by a formal refusal. " Prussia," he-said, "may impose directly whatever conditions she pleases on Austria; she may alter, according to her own interests, the Germanic Confederation, and she may dictate a new con stitution to the Bund. But France can never consent to the territorial aggrandisement of a Power which is inevitably her rival, and with whom a collision may any day take place,' seeing that she is her nearest neighbour." Count Goltz returned to the charge ; but M. Drouyn de Lhuys maintained his position in energetic language. On issuing from the Minister's cabinet the Ambassador rushed to the Tuileries and demanded to see the Emperor, who gave him then and there an audience. We cannot say exactly what happened at it; but this much we affirm, that the day following Count Goltz returned to the Foreign-office rubbing his hands and crowing over the Minister, to whom he an nounced that the Emperor was more tractable than M. Drouyn de Lhuys, and had consented to Prussia annexing territories which represented 4,000,000 souls It was thus, with the personal complicity of the Emperor, that the Kingdom of Hanover, the Duchies of Nassau and Brunswick, the half of Hesse Darmstadt, Lauenburg, the Hanse Towns and Frankfort, were absorbed by Prussia. In making this concession, the Emperor flattered himself that he was paving the way for a future success, when in reality he was preparing the destruction of the nation he governed." The pamphlet proceeds to show that the Emperor's conduct during the Luxemburg affair, and, indeed, ever since 1866, has been marked by the same incompetence. THE COMIC PAPERS. (From Punch.) Why will the Parisians, when the siege is over, be the most intelligent people in the world ?—Because all the Asses in Paris will have been eaten. A WORD TO BISMARCK.—Bizzy, you will get no indem nity for your enormous expenses out of a ruined France. Bizzy, Bizzy, you are killing the goose which you require to lay you golden eggs. " FAMILIARITY BREEDS CONTEMPT "—Habitual Cri minal (to swell betting-man): " To see the Lord Mayor ! Ah ! if they knowod the Lord Mayor as well as you and I, Bill, they wouldn't make such a fuss about him." LATEST FASHIONS. —Augusta : " 0, Ada, dear, what a sweet head-dress ! Where did you get it ? " Ada : " It's quite new, dear. It only arrived to-day from Paris in a balloon, or by balloon post." " RICH AND RARE."—A very valuable cargo is coming to us from the other side of the Atlantic, a very precious freight—no less than " ' One Thousand Gems,' from the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher," No paste amongst them, we hope. BEWARE THE BEAR I—Huny Dumpty had a great fall. So have the various stocks this week in the Money Market. They, however, will rise again without the aid of the Queen's horses, by that of a comparatively few of her men. Tho decline was owing to the Russian demand for the revision of the Treaty which forbids Russia to rob Turkey. Thus you see its cause was a Bear speculation. (From Fun. ) WITH OUR COMPLIMENTS TO Mil. CARDWELL.—Study the soldier's comfort—pay him well, and feed him better ; that's a sure way to swell the ranks. WANTED—HEADS !—A contemporary seems to sneer at this as improbable :—" The Gaulois says that after the attempted revolution in Paris on the 31st ult. a letter was found on the table where Flourens and his associates had been sitting, apparently addressed to the director of the bagne at Toulon, and in these terms : ' Citizen, we must at any price have William's head. Send a hunilred reso lute convicts. Make haste; time presses.' The signature was illegible." Really, it seems the first gleam of sense that any one in Paris has displayed. " Must have Wil liam's head "—or any other man's. That's what they do want. Nobody in Paris seems to have a head. " A hun dred convicts "—good ! They want to arrive at several convictions in Paris—among others the conviction that their game is pretty well played out. But we see nothing bloodthirsty in the letter as read by this light. (Prom Judy.) LIKE HIS CIIEEK.-It is asserted, that as Count Bismarck is certain that Paris will be famine-stricken in three weeks, he has "changed his policy," and intends to starve the city into surrender. " Bismarck's Policy "is a thing not fully understood by anyone but the Count him self ; but one may safely bet that it is a policy of assurance. BRADFORD SCHOOL BOARD.—There will be no contest for seats on the Bradford School Board, the par ties having met and effected a compromise. The board will consist of five Churchmen, three Independents, two Baptists, two Wesleyans, two Roman Catholics, and one member of the Society of Friends. THE " EDINBURGH REVIEW" ON THE WAR.— The article in the last number of the Edinburgh Review which, as we stated last week, has been attributed in this country to Mr. Gladstone, has been ascribed on the Con tinent, apparently on authority, to Mr. Reeve, the editor of the Review. At any rate, whatever contributions Mr. Gladstone's mind may have made to the article, we believe that he is not the author of it in the ordinary ac ceptation of the ascription.—Guardian. THE IRISH LAND QUESTION. —The Ballymena tenant farmers have formally admitted that the landlord and tenant question has been removed from the sphere of the Legislature. They have held a meeting for the pur pose of dissolving the Local Tenant-Right Association, and of forming in its stead a Tenants' Protection Society, the objects of which are defined as follows :-- " 1. To teach the tenant farmers that their safety lies in their union, and to enrol them in a mutually defensive 1 league. '2. To watch the operations of the new law, and learn from them what protection of their just rights tenant farmers are warranted to 7pect from it. 3. To diffuse information among t he ten nts respecting those provisions of the Act that spec i ally a ff ect the i r interests. 4. To help by advice, by directing the legal proceedings, and, if need be, by sharing in their expense, any member of the society who may be threatened with eviction, with undue increase of rent, or other agrarian imposition." CAPTURE OF SEVEN SMUGGLERS.—On Saturday morning, shortly_ after midnight, according-to local papers, Mr. A. 0. Lo uray, Tide Surveyor of Her Majesty's Customs, Guernsey, and his six waterside officers, made a large seizure at Rocquaine Bay, west coast of the island. On the signal being made the officers surpried and captured the cutter Mary, of Jersey, registering fifteen tons, together with three boats, and seven smugglers, including Albert W. Sherlock, master and owner, and fifty-seven bales of leaf tobacco, weighing from two to three tons. The Mary, boats, and-smug glers were piloted out of Rocquaine Bay, and brought in the course of the morning to St. Peter Port Harbour, a few miles distant. The seven smugglers were landed there at noon, before a number of spectators. The seizure, says the Star, is one of the most important and extensive made for many years in Guernsey, and the operation was the more difficult on account of the darkness of the night and the strong breeze blowing. No resistance was offered of any consequence. The seven smugglers were to be produced on Monday before the magistrates of Guernsey, and will " be shortly proceeded against by the Customs authorities in London. NAVAL AND MILITARY L.NTELL - .GENCE. The Urgent, screw troopship, 1,981 tons, 400-horse power, now in the first class of the Steam Reserve at Portsmouth. has been selected by the Admiralty for the service of the party of scientific men who will leave England to observe the coming eclipse, &c. Captain Samuel Henderson will be appointed to the command of the ship. Lieutenant Alexander B. Brown, P.R. A. S., F. G. S., Royal Artillery, has been selected to take part in the observations on the forthcoming total eclipse of the sun on the 22nd of December next, and will proceed to the south of Spain with Lord Lindsay for that purpose. The detachment of the Royal Engineer Train which arrived at Woolwich from Chatham on Monday last with one of the newly-invented pontoon boats, left Woolwich on their return journey on Tuesday with six field telegraph waggons, manufactured and fitted complete in the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich. These waggons are of two kinds, and specially fitted up for the services they are required for. One contains the telegraph wires in coils for paying out on the march, together with the paying-out machinery. This is accomplished at the rate of six miles an hour. The other waggon carries the batteries for working the telegraph and the requisite tools for repairing the line in case of accidents, and other necessary imple ments likely to be required on various occasions and under different circumstances. The unarmoured vessels now in - the first class of the Steam Reserve at Portsmouth, rigged, armed, stored for six months, and in readiness to proceed to sea on twenty four hours' notice, with the exception of having to re ceive their crews on board and a certain portion of their provisions, consist of four frigates, three corvettes, one gun-vessel, and two gunboats, their aggregate tonnage being 16,962, the nominal horse-power of their engines 3,910, and the number of their guns 81. Oue of the frigates is iron -built, with an outer shell of wood, and in average weather at sea can steam 14 . 6 knots per hour. One of the other frigates under like conditions would steam 13 knots, and the remaining two 12 knots. All the vessels carry armour-piercing guns of 61 tons, each being mounted with a greater number of 61-pounder rifled Palliser shell guns. The two gunboats are of the Staunch class, and each carries a 12-ton 9-inch muzzle loading rifle. The Immortalitd, 28 guns, 600-horse power, unarmoured screwfrigate,is ordered to oe commissioned at Portsmouth on the Ist proximo. The order for commissioning the Dido, 6, 350-horse power, unarmoured screw corvette, which had been named for the same date as the Immor talitd, is as yet held in abeyance. We learn that, if no events occur to require its presence abroad, the Channel Squadron will remain at Portland during the winter, making an occasional cruise to sea in division's to exercise the crews of the ships in heavy gun and other drills. A contemporary regrets to hear that our last constructed ironclad, the Sultan, 5,226 tons, with engines of a nominal 1,200 horse-power, requires to have 300 tons of iron ballast put into her before she is handed over to the Government, in consequence of her having, like the Captain, too much top weight. Rear-Admiral Seymour, Commander-in-Chief of the new flying squadron, will bolsi his flag at Devonport about this day week, and the ships under Lis command (the Russian question permitting) will leave England during the month, proceeding first to the West Indies, where the Dido, which is to form one of the squad dron, will probably take the place of one of the ships re cently arrived on that station. Captain George Ommanney Willes, C. 8., the chief of the staff at Whitehall, has, we understand, been devising a scheme of reductions in the complement of the crews of our ironclads. We believe the Hercules, Lord Gilford's ship, will be the first vessel reduced under the new system. The Bellerophon, one of Mr. Reed's ironclads, is now in dock at Portsmouth, and will not be ready for sea until the early part of the year. The Marquis of Lorne, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Arthur, visited the Royal Arsenal and other military establishments at Woolwich, on Saturday _ _ _ last, and took luncheon at the quarters which Messrs. Barnes, of Woolwich, have fitted up for his Royal High ness's accomniod.stion at the Infantry Barracks. An order has been issued directing that efforts shall be made for the immediate enlistment of 1,500 drivers for the Royal Artillery—the 14th Brigade, Depot, and Royal Horse Brigade, each requiring au addition of 500. The standard has been reduced to sft. 4in., the minimum height, with 33 inches girth of chest, and recruiting parties have been sent out from the garrison, the first result of which was visible at Woolwich Police-court, on Tuesday, when nearly forty recruits were attested. Gunners are also required for the Royal Artillery to an altnost unlimited extent, the standard being sft. 7in., and 34in girth, but now they are obtained with more difficulty. The regula tion which binds the ordinary recruiting staff to enlist for "general Fervice," only greatly impairs the usefulness of that department. A marriage is arranged to take place to-day at St. Paul's, South Kensington, between Sir Algernon Peyton, Bart., of Swift's House Bi,cester, and Miss Laura Webb, daughter of the late J. Webb, Esq., ROYAL NAVAL SCHOOL, NEW-CROSS.—MII3. Caroline Lucas Rennie has bequeathed £5OO to this school, which has recently admitted without election five of the orphan sons of officers lost in her Majesty's ship Captain. TAXING-MASTER IN CHANCERY. There is a vacancy in the office of Taxing-Master of the Court of Chancery by the death of Mr. George Hume, who died on Friday last. The deceased gentleman was formerly one of the Chief Clerks at the Rolls' Chambers. We are informed by a correspondent from Belgium that a newspaper will shortly be started there with a view of keeping the French officers and soldiers informed of what passes in France, and that, to suit it to the means of all, the subscription will only be 1 franc a month. A. SCHOOL DISMISSED ON ACCOUNT OF HYDRO nieDIA.—A correspondent Writes to say that a school near Dundee was dismissed the other evening in consequence of one of the boys shewing symptoms of hydrophobia. It seems the boy had been bitten by a mad dog, which has since - been shot. The unfortunate circum stance created a painful sensation in the school. With respect to the spread of smallpox in London, the Registrar-General points out that the eastern dis tricts continue to suffer out of all proportion to the rest of the metropolis. Of the total forty-five fatal cases, twenty six occurred in the East districts, Bethnal-green, White chapel, and Shoreditch contributing the largest number. Eight of the victims were infants in their first year of life. Only two of the whole list of fatal cases were returned as having been vaccinated. THE STRIKE IN EDINBURGH.--The Lord Pro vost of Edinburgh, who had consented to act as arbiter in the stonemasons' strike, has given his decision as follows : —" The Lord Provost, having carefully considered the statements submitted to him on Saturday last by the master masons, and also by the men in their employment, is of opinion that the most equitable decision he can come to is to halve the difference between the parties, and he therefore so decides." The masters and men agreed to abide by his Lordship's decision, and the strike has accord ingly terminated. The men will now be paid at the rate of 61d. per hour instead of 6id. SHOCKING RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday morning a fatal-accident occurred at the entrance to the St. Helen's Chymical Company'slVitrks, St. Helen's, near Liverpool. An engine and five waggons were standing on the biding waiting for another waggon to be attached, which six men were pushing along the- siding, when the engine was unexpectedly set in 'notion, and came into con tact with the unattached waggon. One of the men, named Patrick Ratigan,•was thrown down, caught by one of the wheels, dragged for some distance, and frightfully mutilated. Death was almost instantaneous. Another man, William Hughes, lies in a hopeless state, his shoulder blade and four of his ribs being broken, and his legs dreadfully crushed. The injuries of t he other men—John Dillon, Thomas Neill, John Painter, John Walpole, and Thomas Mitchel—are not likely to Prove fatal. Medical assistance was procured immediately, and the injured men received every attention. —Liverpool Courier. AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE MARQUIS OF LORNE. —The intimation conveyed by telegraph that her Majesty bad granted hoc consent to the marriage of her itoyal Highness Princess Louise with the Marquis of Lorne has been received with very lively satisfaction throughout India. Not a E•ingle comment expressive of aught but warm approval and hearty good wishes has, as far as we are aware, been uttered either through the press qr less public channels. India claims a special , interest 'in the 'coming event, and even goes the length of - congratu lating herself upon the prospect of soon having a daugh ter of Queen Victoria in Government-house, Calcutta. One journal (the Ceylon Observer) writes :—" What may be the future destiny of the Marquis of Lorne it is hard to say ; but should he shew the needful capacity, there is one great office of the State for which his position as husband of the Princess Louise would seem pre-eminently to fit him, namely, that of Viceroy and Governor-General of India. Youthful as he ~is, there is no reason why we should not have the Mar iquir4 and the Princess taking up their quarters at Govern ment-h9lse,,Calcutta, (in: the depatture of Lord .Mayo in. 1874 or 7h.". - , Times of Itiidti, 0ct.12 4 J.. . ~. • ii, i ± .:
