AN ACCOUNT OF THE OPENING OF THE (ECUMENICAL COUNCIL, AND GLANCES AT MILAN, FLORENCE, NAPLES, POMPEII, AND VENICE. • BY WILLIAM EVILL. STAMFORD, Charing Cross. Price 4s. 6ti. " 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. Evil'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. " 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 cicumenical Council ; his journey was accomplished with great rapidity, but his hasty en route sketches are lively and amusing."—Record. " In this pleasant little book we have an abundance of inter esting matter, such as a professed bookmaker may extend into the compass of two goodly volumes ln the very first page we are satisfied with the book, and are engrossed with its contents We recommend the entire little volume as well to readers as to intending tourists in search of continental information."—News of the World. " The ground was all new to Mr. Evil, and, in spite of the season of the year, he saw it under peculiarly favourable cir cumstances. He has an eye quick to see, and a pen that enables him to tell right pleasantly, and not a little vividly, what he has seen. • • . . Mr. 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, and it has a charm. There is a fresh, inge nuous manner, that appeals to the reader. The author records his impressions and describes minutely the beauty of the Italian scenery without a thought of the travellers who have gone before. Some passages, descriptive, are really excellent. The exterior and interior of Milan cathedral are put before us in glowing terms, and the long ceremonies of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council are forcibly described. Ilis 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.

The train in question was an express,' which leaves Leicester at ten minutes past six o'clock at night, and arrives at St. Pancras at 8.35, without any stoppage. On Saturday night the train which was not very full, went on well till it approached Kettering, where a luggage train, was in the act of crossing from the main line to the siding, in order to get clear off the express, which was known to be about due. The driver had not time to reduce the speed much before he ran right into the luggage, cutting it clean in two, and proceeded onward for some distance before his train could be stopped. Many of the luggage waggons were broken to pieces, and others knocked off the line, which was blocked; but, strange to relate, the express carriages are said to :have been scarcely scratched. The line was shortly cleared but the traffic was delayed for several hours. THE FRENCH FLEET.—The Dagbladet, a Danish n ewspaper, gives an exceedingly unfavourable account of the French Fleet. As this paper is warmly in favour of France, its statements are all the more noticeable.—" It seems as if the want of order, preparation, and of a certain system of, plans and tactics, which have contri 'buted to the bitter defeats of the French army, were to lave been met with in a still greater degree amongst 'the Baltic squadron, and it is difficult to speak -upon this subject without giving way to strong .expressions. The simple fact that during the last four years no French squadron has hewn itself within the Baltic, in o:rder to gain some knowledge and idea of the ports, &c., :thews a great want of foresight. In fact, so ignorant were the French respecting the Baltic, that even superior officers were of opinion that after the middle of October the Baltic was icebound. Further, as France declared war, and not Prussia, it would only have been prudent for six..or eight ironclads to have sailed out from Cherbourg on the 16th July, to chase the enemy's fleet from the high seas, to shut up the enemy's seaports , and cut off all. commerce and communication by water. In stead of taking these steps a delay of 8 or ) 9 days occurred. In all cases these ships were started in such a condition as even in tim e of peace would be considered disgraceful. It was no doubt this knowledge of their imperfect appear ance which, caused them to 'Keep so far away from Coßen hag-en, and - therefore keep aloof from any Danish Avisit, although they were not in a position to go without the rovisions Denmark could have offered them. A. most important portion their fitting out and preparing, we not intend to state what portion, was done in the Baltic, the men had clothes served out to them and the shi,ns were supplied with stores of numerous kinds down to newspapers, and not the slightest preparation for provid ing any of these things had been made at home prior to their departure."

The chair was taken by 'Dr. George Ross, M.D., and amongst others present were Dr. Edmunds, Mr. New, Mr. Grey, Dr. Spratt, Professor Jones, F. R. C.S., and Professor Murphy. The lecturer said this was the seventh year of study, and some might think that because their efforts had been attended by great progress they should rest and be thankful. But was it their duty to rest? No, never, until the cause which they supported was acknowledged as one of the most prominent successes. Their principles had been designated as reckless innovations, but the lightning had been snatched from the clouds, and the very sun himself had been made a portrait taker. Yet these and hundreds of other wonderful things were once regarded as mere scientific toys. 'What they now required was that the friends and supporters of the society should collect funds to purchase a proper library and museum, and also to obtain subscriptions so as to give it that recognised position among the colleges of the country to which it was entitled. It could not be con tended that women should not attend on their fellow women and on children. No one said it was improper for women to attend on the other sex as nurses, and yet it had been argued that it was indelicate for ladies to prosecute medical studies with a view to attend their own sex. The fact was, that medical men were afraid that the profits of their business would be reduced by the competition. LAW AND POLICE. UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.—Dennis O'Brien, a respectable looking middle-aged man, who refused his address, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, at the Marlborough-street Police-court, with assaulting Mr. E. Styles, dentist, of No. 58, Albany-Street ? Regent's Park. From the evidence of the complainant it appeared that on Saturday night he was walking along Regent street when the prisoner walked up to him, stood opposite him, and struck him a blow in the eye and knocked him down, and on his getting up knocked him down a second time, and he then gave him into cus tody. The prisoner said he only ran against the com plainant accidentally. Abel Dickins, 17 IC R said the prisoner was drunk and the complainant sober. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the prisoner £5, or 'two months' in de fault, stating that he supposed the prisoner being an Irishman he cDuld not help it. AN UNDUTIFUL SON.—William' Samuel Chesterton, a boy aged 13 years, was charged at the Thames Police court with stealing three blankets and two sheets, the property of his father, a carpenter of the same name, of No. 13, Hereford-place, Commercial-road, Stepney. Before Mr. Odell, the chief usher, had tendered the book to the prosecutor, Mr. Paget said : This is your own son ? Mr. Chesterton : It is, sir. Mr. Paget : But surely you are not going to prosecute him? Mr. Chesterton said he had no alternative. The boy had robbed him repeatedly, and neglected all the advantages he had offered for his future welfare. Mr. Paget : Now think of it. Don't prosecute your own son if you can help it. Let the boy stand down and see his father. A few minutes afterwards the boy was again placed in the dock, and the father having withdrawn from the prosecution, his son was discharged. THROWING VITRIOL ON A WIFE.—At the Bow•street Police-court, Louis Gustave Droy, a silversmith, residing in Long Acre, was charged with throwing a quantity of nitric acid over Madame Di oy, his wife. The prosecutrix stated that she had been separated from her husband for twelve months, and that since that time he had been in the habit of following her about, so that she had been obliged to go to and from her house of business escorted by a lady friend. A week since, on her way home from Church, the prisoner passed her and threw a quantity of nitric acid over her mantle, gown, and handkerchief. The articles were produced, the mantle being burnt to shreds, and the prisoner, who seemed to feel his position acutely, was committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court. A LADY CHARGED WITH BIGAMY.—Emma Ensell, a tall, handsome woman, was charged, at Bow-street, with bigamy. It appeared from the evidence that in 1849 she was married to a gentleman named Henry Francis Skinner, from whom she was separated. On the 4th February, 1869, she was married to Mr. Charles Ensell, an artist residing in Kentish Town, but about eight weeks ago they separated owing to incompatibility of temper. He knew she had been married before, but thought she was a widow until about a week since, when he discovered that her former husband was still living. On making this dis covery, he instituted this prosecution. The prisoner was remanded for further evidence as to her first marriage. CONVEYANCE OF RIFLE CARTRIDGES OVER THE SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY.—At the Mansion House, James Windsor, clerk in the employ of Messrs. Snawdon and Co., engineers of Jeffery-square, St. Mary Axe, was sum moned before the Lord Mayor, for having unlawfully caused ten packages of rifle and revolver cartridges to be conveyed over the South-Eastern Railway. It would seem that shortly after nine o'clock on the evening of the sth instant., the defendant arrived at the Cannon-street station in a great hurry, and wished to have ten wooden packages, which he represented contained copper ore, to be conveyed as personal luggage to Folkestone by the next train. As, however, the train was then on the point of starting, the packages were not sent until the following morning. They were subsequently taken on board a steamer bound for Boulogne ; but as Captain Boxer, the Harbour-master, at Folkestone, had his suspicions aroused, in consequence of the cases being marked " ingots," and having a French super scription, he caused them to be opened, when he found them to contain no fewer than 32,000 cartridges and a large number of revolvers. The defence set up was that the defendant, independently of his employers, had been induced by some friends in France to enter into a specula tion, without being aware of the consequences to which he rendered himself liable. The Lord Mayor fined him £65, being £2O for one case, and £5 each for the nine others. The death of Mr. James Collings, of Chilton Polden, Somerset, at the age of 102 years and six months, has been announced. The deceased was a twin brother, and was born in the parish of Woolavington, on the 22nd of March, 1768, his twin brother living over 70 years. At an inquest held in Leeds, a verdict was re turned to the effect that a child had been poisoned with hellebone. It seemed that its mother bought some worm lozenges, which contained the ingredient named. The vendor of the lozenges was cautioned. THE CASE OF THE REV. MR. VOYSEY.—The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council have appointed Thursday, the 10th of November, to hear the appeal of the Rev. Mr. Voysey from the judgment of the Chancery Court of York. The Pesther Lloyd professes to have good authority for stating that a circular despatch of Prince Gortschakoff, sent off within the last few clays, demands the removal of the restrictions on the navigation of the Black Sea, on the ground that Russia requires ships of war there for the military command of the Caucasus. The V Journal du Havre says that there exist two principal centres of the Bonapartist conspiracy to rein state Napoleon 111. upon the throne of France—namely, one at Jersey and the other at Geneva. The same journal affirms that the King of Prussia is in the plot, and in stances, as proof, the permission given to Bourbaki to re enter Metz. The Lyons correspondent of the Standard says : " Myself rather leaning, for the sake of France, to a res t ora tion of the Napoleonic dynasty, I must tell you honestly I have not spoken to . a . single Frenchman, urban or rural, who shared my .opinions, or who treated the very idea of such a restoration as anything but a reproach to the intelligence of the country. lam sorry for it, but my business is to tell the truth." NAPOLEON AND PRINCE PIERRE.—A somewhat angry' correspondence between the redoubtable Prince Pierre Bonaparte, who shot Victor Noir, and the ex- E m peror has been published among the Inperial papers. The Prince wishes to legitimatise his children and to sell his estate in Corsica The estate he thinks his imperial cousin might purchase. He complains of the exceptional position of the members of the Emperor's family, who are under a kind of inter dict with regard to their civil and political rights, If he is nominated deputy the Emperor opposes it. He is condemned to forced inaction in the public service, and the fulfilment of the most sacred duties. The most lawful wishes are forbidden to him without any sufficient compens ation. The braperor who refuses both his requests says the property would be useless to him, and his budget is too much overburdened for such a sacrifice. He objects to the recognition of the Prince's children, and declares that the restrictions im posed on those who have the honour to bear his name are but trifling drawbacks to advantages which he supvoses the Prince would be unwilling to re nounce. Prince Pierre is highly indignant, and says plainly that he does not see what those advantages are. As for titles, he cares nothing for them, and has already voted their suppression. His name belongs to his father (Lucien Bonaparte) who set him the example of independence, and as for the allowance made him it is a very small part of the property despoiled by the Bourbons. Prince Pierre in conclusion, declares that he sh all not fail in his paternal duties even if he has to resume a life of exile and seek for more equity among a free people. THE "FISH TORPEDO." An attempt was made in Sheerness harbour to blow up the old wooden frigate L'Aigle with a torpedo, the joint invention of Mr. Whiteman and an Austrian gentleman. This torpedo is a fish-shaped construction of zinc, having a revolving tail at one end, and contains, besides the de noting charge, a quantity of gun-cotton. It is placed in a cylinder similar to a rocket tube, and filled with com pressed air, which furnishes the power for propelling it for any distance from 100 to 1,500 yards. It is necessary that a ship intended to. discharge the torpedo should be fitted with an apparatus for compressing air into the cylinder. The experimental torpedo was despatched under water from the Oberon, which was placed bows in towards L'Aigle, moored at a distance of 200 yards. In thirty seconds an explosion took place under the stern of the old coal hulk. A mountain of water, blackened with coal-dust, was thrown up with a noise resembling the dis charge of a heavy guu two or three miles off, the stern of the vessal sinking immediately to the bottom of the river. In deep water the ship would have disappeared wholly. When the tide had fallen it was seen that a tremendous hole had been made in her side. It is in tended to raise her and restore the damage for further trials. THE TIEN-TSIN MASSACRE. A telegram has been received from Mr. Wade, dated the 26th of September, stating that all was quiet at Pekin and at Tien-tsin. THE ROMAN PLEBISCITE. The 7'imes col respondent says :—Of all the plebiscites I have witnessed during the last twenty yeers, none has impressed me with anything like the feeling of solemnity and consciousness of responsibility inspiring those who took part in the vote as this suffrage of the Roman people. Each single individual seemed entirely aware of the importance of this act of public judgment, and qualities which rarely appertain to Italians— gravity and earnestness prevailed among the Romans during the whole course of this eventful day. The different corporations and districts had agreed that the vote should be given in bodies according to the callings of the different citizens ; so from 8 o'clock a.m. there were to be seen groups of voters mustering and assembling under their respective banners and the national flags, which, as had been decided by common deliberation, were all to bear the Royal arms. At about 12 o'clock the pro cession of the inhabitants of the Citta Leonina proceeded gravely to the Capitol with their voting urn—a glass one, that the votes might be visible to everyone—carried by a splendid Trasteverino, tall, robust, and with a formidable black beard, and preceded by another, bearing a large white standard with the words " CittA Leonine, Si." Two representatives of the Circolo Romano headed the procession, which wound its way through the dense crowd over Ponte St. Angelo, by the Ripetta to the Piazza del Popolo, and thence proceded the whole length of tho Corso to the Capitol, amid frantic applause. The standard was the object of all sorts of ovations; hundreds kissed it, multitudes cheered, and tears were in every eye. On arriving at the Capitol, this cortige was met by those Roman officers and soldiers who belong to the regular Italian army, and who had obtained permis sion from the Government to flock together from all parts of the Peninsula, in order to share in the vote of their native city. The white standard was ultimately fixed on the top of the pet-min, and that useless fiction of a reduced Temporal Power, destined by its survival to give rise to endless future dissensions in the coming generation, ceased to exist by the spontaneous act of an intelligent people. Meanwhile, other corporations had been assem bling, and kept arriving one after another, in pro cession at the Capitol. Now it became the turn of the several corporations of merchants and tradespeople and the different districts—first the orcjici (jewellers), who play so important a part in Rome, with mag nificent standards • then the cabinet makers and furniture dealers, the shoemakers, hat makers and printers ; then the college of notaries and lawyers, the members of the Roman University, the physicians, sculptors and painters, the cultivators of the art of music, each under a special banner, the rest of the Roman exiles, and the citizens belonging to the other .Rioni. As those from the district of Campo di Marzo passed along, a Capuchin monk and a priest accompany ing the flag attracted no small amount of attention, and were very much cheered. All had to pass under the windows of the palace inhabited by General Cadorna, and all stopped to cheer him as he appeared in plain clothes, and bowed to the people. After saluting the Capitol each procession went back and voted in its own bureau, where every voter had a "Si " and a "No " offered to him by the presiding member of the Gitmta. On the Piazza di Spagna one man took both tickets, shewed them to all around and then deliberately said, " Gentlemen,. I vote ' No. " I fancy this was done in order that it might be seen that the vote was perfectly free. At half-past six p.m. the twelve urns were taken in solemn procession to the Capitol ; that of the Citta Leonina having been, as you already know, de posited there early in the morning, long before any of the others. Each procession had a band of music and four torch bearers at its head ; then came the flag of the bureau to which the urn they bore belonged, carried by pompieri in their glittering helmets, and behind two officers of the municipality, bearing the urn itself, and dressed in their antiquated costume, resembling very much that of the yeomen who guard the Tower of London, in red and yellow " pom-pons," short mantles and breeches, velvet hats, etc. In many cases, the original urn having proved too small for the number of votes, a supplementary receptacle was carried behind the principal one, looking to me exceed ingly like a washerwoman's linen-basket. The greatest order and peace pervaded the city during the whole day ; indeed, the more I see of the Romans, the more lam struck by the happy combination they present of steady, resolute patriotism, good sense, and moderation. This essentially healthy and refreshing atmosphere is already taking a most beneficial effect even upon elements foreign to the city. Government men are gradually gaining confidence, and no longer shrink from taking decided steps, while the Radicals begin to see very clearly that their pompous phrases and empty discourses will not go down with this sensible population. The Radicals an Republicans have been forced to become monarchical by their Roman listeners in all the popular meetings which preceded the plebiscite. As to the horrors in which the Unita Cattolica is pleased to revel just now, such as heads of Zouaves borne through the city on pikes, the blood of priests and monks quaffed with delight by the bloodthirsty citizens, nuns forcibly dragged through the streets of Rome, and subjected to every species of indignity by Italian soldiers, they are entirely the fruit of the fertile and essentially perfidious imagination of a party whose motto has ever been the maxim of Don Basilio, " Let us calumniate, calumniate, calumniate, and something will always be sure to remain of it." PRINTERS' PENSION, ALMSHOUSES, AND ORPHAN ASYLUM.—The foundation stone of two new wings to the almshouses of this institution, situate at Wood-green were on Saturday laid by Mrs. Figgins and Earl Stan hope, in the presence of a large assemblage of persons. TEE CATTLE PLAGUE.—The cattle plague has made its appearance in two farms in the parish of Hurst, and in one in the parish of \Varfield, Berks, and, notwith standing the great precautionary measures taken, the contagion is slowly spreading. Notice has been received that the French mail packet of the China line, which, in due course, should leave Marseilles on Sunday, the 16th instant, will not sail. No mails will, therefore, be made up in London on Wed nesday, the 12th of October, for conveyance by French packet to Ceylon, Singapore, China, and Japan. It is also notified that the packets of this line will, for the pre sent, leave Marseilles every fourth Sunday only instead of every alternate Sunday. THE RECORDERSHIP or READING.—The Recorder ship of Reading is now vacant, H. T. J. Macnamara, Esq., the late Recorder, having sent in his resignation, and an announcement of the same to the• Reading corpora tion two or three days back, on account of ill health, the same reason which induced him to resign his new appont ment of stipendiary magistrate of the Westminster Police court. RITUALISM AT ST. ALBAN'S.—The Judicial Com mittee have appointed November 14, to hear an appli cation on the part of the Church Association in the case of " Martin v. the Rev. A. H. Mackonochie," Mr. Mack onochie was admonished as to kneeling after the prayer of consecration in the Communion Service, and notice of a motion against him was served on the ground that he had not obeyed the monition of the court. Affidavits were filed on both sides and the case was withdrawn. Another notice has now been served, and their lordships have ap pointed the day mentioned for the hearing of the applica tion. aßtET3lolEuraUXMA.Tcriimoitreuß:.w—a s I Towns. — Ina called a r u e p c o e n n t t o p de u f b e l n i d c party in the town demands the removal of the IntheeMeptionliCgcy of the'Provisional ,Government. The Repub licanmayor and his subordinates,. converted Imperialist s w h om the Prefect of the Republic thought it right to retain at their posts. M. Crdmieux endeavoured to reconcile the disputants. "We ought not," he said, "to have at the present moment any thought but one. Union is strength, and in order to repulse the invader, we ought to accept all the assistance offered, and appeal to everyone's courage. There are no longer Legitimists, Orleanists, or Impe rialists. There are only Frenchmen, who all ask to fight against the Prussians." Notwithstanding the eloquence and authority with which he spoke, M. Cremieux failed in convincing the Republicans, who still insisted on the removal of the former agents of the fallen dynasty. The Siècle blames the Provisional Government for having temporised in the matter.
