At the annual meeting of the Hull Chamber of Com merce Mr. Not-wood, M.P., was present. In spealdng of the bankruptcy laws, he thought that the success of its working depended upon the creditors themselves. If the creditors did not look well after what was their own business, the Act would not work well. The Merchant Shipping (Consolidation) Bill was, he thought, a great deal too unwieldy. It contained nearly 800 clauses. He did not see why the Legislature should not leave shipowners to attend to much more of their own business than it did. The bill would need much revision. On the question of the inspection of vessels, he thought more should be left to the common law where a breach of it was committed.

BURGESS, Secretary 2, St. Martin's-place, October 10, 1870. Further reports of damage done by the force of the wind and of casualties which have resulted from the heavy gale have come to hand. On Thursday a large number of workmen proceeding along the Southern Embankment had a very. narrow escape, owing to the falling of the palings round St. Thomas's Hospital, which were covered with the usual advertisements, and were , fully thirty feet high. Shortly afterwards another large batch of timber fell at the Lambeth-bridge end, also across the pavement, but fortunately did no damage. On the Northern Embankment several of the young trees were snapped in two by the force of the wind, notwithstanding the fact that they are all secured to the iron fencing around them by iron wire. In the parks great damage was done to tho trees and shrubs. CAREW K. —(Central Press Telegram.)—The Rev. Wil liam Hawraton, Roman Catholic clergyman, while driving near Carrick, was killed by the fall of a tree during the recent storm. The tree had to be cut to pieces before the body could be released.

The officers at Carlisle Fort, Cork Harbour, keep a small yacht, which is usually moored off the fort. Seeing the threatening aspect off the weather on Tuesday evening, the above mentioned officers proceeded in a punt from the fort to the yacht, to direct the removal of it to a safer anchorag,ro in Crosshaven Reach. When the yacht was under weigh, they put off in the punt to return, and were last seen pulling for the fort. They have not since been heard of. The punt was found last evening broken, and capsized in Church Bay. NEWQUAY, CARDIGANSHIRE. The schooner Little Lizzie, of Fowey, and the smack Spread Eagle, of Abe rayon, have been wrecked here during the recent storm. The lifeboat Forester put off, but was not required, the crew of the first-named vessel Jiaving managed, with much difficulty, to reach the shore in their own boat, and the other shipwrecked men being saved by the crew of an open boat.

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, spewing 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. - • - hard that at London, for instance, a vessel with no passengers required no pilot, while the same vessel, with but one passenger must have one. On the subject of the defence of the Humber, Mr. Norwood remarked that he had had a long interview with Sir Frederick Chapman, who told him that a committee of officers was appointed immediately the war broke out, and one great means of defence would consist of torpedoes —not concussion torpedoes, but torpedors laid down with galvanic action from the shore. The Government were thoroughly aware of the necessity there was for increasing the defences of the country. Mr. Norwood proceeded to say that he thought the Foreign Enlistment Bill was too severe and too ambiguous. It caused an in justice to honest men. As to neutrality, he believed that international law did not interfere with the trade of neutrals with belligerents save and except in this way :—lf neutrals attempted to supply either of the belligerents with articles of great need to them, the other belligerent might endeavour to prevent it. No other country has prohibited the export of such articles to belligerents, and there is no reason why England should do so. The Government were, no doubt, right in what they did. If any shipowner violated the proclamation of neutrality he was liable to capture. Nr. Norwood then referred briefly to the subjects of the telegraph system (regretting that the Government had not retained more of the employ6s of the old companies instead of transferring into the service a large number of inexperienced hands) and Schedule D. On the latter sub ject he said Mr. Lowe would never be persuaded to give way until some one would show him by what other feasible means the income tax could be dispensed with.

This rate of returns will enable the company to pay quarterly dividends equal to 25 per cent. per annum, commencing three months after the date of allotment. The proceeds of the mine since the Ist of September, 1870, will belong to the company. Capital £300,000, in 60,000 shares of £5 each. £1 per share will be payable on application, £1 on allotment. and £3 within three months from the date of registration of the company, one month's notice of call being given.

" 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 ones 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 sculpturs 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 CEcumenical Council ; his journey was accomplished with great rapidity, but his hasty en route sketches are lively and amusing."—Record.

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 in effecting a great moral change in many fallen ones. _ . .

INFRINGEMENT OF THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES A paid agent of the opponents of the Contagious Diseases Acts, named John Marshall, was summoned at the Plymouth Guildhall for having resisted two officers of the metropolitan police in the exe cution of their duty, and for inciting Sarah Mack, a woman of ill-fame, to resist going to the Royal Albert Hospital. Mr. Eastlake prosecuted on behalf of the Admiralty. The woman was in custody of the police, when she was met by Marshall, who told her not to go, and threatened to " knock the police down." Up to that time the woman had gone on quietly, but she now resisted, and the defendant was taken in charge by order of Inspector Anniss. The magistrates considered the case proved, and referring to their decision in the case of Mrs. King, who was fined £5 on a similar charge about two months since, that in future the power of imprison ment would be enforced in all such cases, sent Marshall to prison for one month without the option of paying a fine. Marshall is employed by the opponents of the Con tagious Diseases Acts as an agent at a guinea a week. upon by no one knows who, was that of allowing the Romans to vote, not in .Rome, but by corporations, arts et metiers. The words we have italicised we do not under stand; they may be a misprint. At any rate, the whole con text proves our position. And how was this ingenious device carried out ? An official ticket was provided (no other was received), headed by " the traditional wolf ; " and the ticket ran thus :—" S.P.Q.R.—Central Commit tee for the Plebiscite.— Inscription ticket, admitting bearer to vote for the Pldhiscite of Rome. 2nd October, 1870. Given to Mr. N. N. The Committee." Just imagine anyone who seriously intended to vote " No,', receiving such a ticket from such a committee ! But the farce was carried through to the end-47 Noes were recorded. It is candidly avowed that these were theatrical performances. Some diverting vaga bond, perfectly well known to all as in the Pied inontese interest, would come forward with his tongue in his cheek, display his legible " No" to all the beholders, and deposit it in the urn. And there is ample reason to believe that another theatrical device, by which a score of supernumeraries are made to represent a con siderable army, marching off at one side of the stage to march on again at the other, was also freely resorted to. By such stratagems as these, and by the unlimited distribution of voting papers to every one, of whateuer province, race, or complexion, who was prepared to cast his ticket for annexation, thousands of sufficiently satisfactorST suffrages were secured. No other qualification was necessary to convert at once a child into an adult, a woman into a man, and a Sicilian semi-Arab into a lineal descen dant of the Gracchi. The Marquis Patrizi Montero admits, and it would be absurd to deny, that numbers of undoubtedly Roman citizens " voted through fear, or from a desire to go with the winning side." Yet, even with respect to these, we can quote the unsuspected testimony of the democratic Diritto, whose Roman correspondent says, that " a great number of Noes, if they were not in the urns, were believe it, in the hearts ; and that is a thing we shall be made sensible of later on." We are compelled by a sense of duty to take one excep tion to the Marquis Patrizi's letter, excellent as it is in other respects. We cannot admit his defence of Prince Borghese's act in putting his name to the declaration of the Roman Chamber of Commerce. It is an act that deserves even more emphatic reprehension than any done by The Pope's most determined enemies. Catholicmorality—and in this all theologians are unanimous—condemns co-opera tion of any kind in acts that are of themselves unlawful. It was quite open to Prince Borghese to refuse to sign the resolution of the Chamber ; it was open to him to resign its presidency. The plea that his act was " ministerial" would justify everything that the King of Italy has done against the Holy See. On the other hand, his weak compliance has not availed to save his palace from an attempted con flagration at the hands of the ruffians whom Cadorna has let loose upon Roman society. We cannot feel much pity , for him under the circumstances. GLOBE THEATRE. After having been most brilliantly decorated, this favourite theatre has been opened for a winter season, under the direction of Miss Alley ne. The manageress has secured the services of a good company, the stage arrangements have been placed in the hands of Mr. Walter Lacy, a sure guarantee that all the pieces will be produced in the most complete and effective manner. The entertainments now nightly given consist of a lively farce entitled " Board and Residence," Shakespeare's "Taming the Shew," in which Miss Alleyne sustains the part of the dashing, headstrong but, in the end, obedient Katherine, and Mr. Fairclough that of the gallant Petrucio ; and a brilliant romantic drama, entitled " Marco Spada," in which Mr. Walter Lacy and the whole strength of the company appears. Although the pieces have been repeatedly performed at other theatres, the splendid manner in which they are mounted, and the freshness of the casts, give them the attraction of novelty, and call forth the most enthusiastic applause. The management has accepted pieces from the pens . of some of our most accomplished dramatic writers, which are in active preparation ; and as no pains will be spared to render the pretty little Globe Theatre one of the most attractive places of entertainment, the fair manageress has our best wishes for perfect and complete success, In consequence of the torrents of rain which have fallen during the last few days, the level of the waters of the Loire have risen 20 per cent. above the level of last month, which was the lowest that had been seen since the commencement of the nineteenth century. The equipments of the French infantry have under gone some changes. The white gaiter has been put aside for one of yellow leather. The weight of the knapsack will also be considerably lessened, as its present weight of 60 or 70 pounds overcomes the soldier on the march. A. PRIMITIVE PARISH.—In the statistical account of the parish of Drainy, county of Elgin, in 1792, is the following description :—"lt is a singular circumstance that in this parish there is no lawyer, writer, attorney, physician, surgeon, apothecary, Negro, Jew, Gipsy, Eng lishman, Irishman, foreigner of any description, nor family of any religious sect or denomination, except the Established Church. The War Office is still troubled with rumours respecting further reductions of its establishment, pro bably in anticipation of the estimates of the ensuing year. It is stated by the Civilian that an addition of ten years to actual service will now be offered to all clerks. singled out for voluntary retirement on compulsion, in lieu of the grants previously made of five, seven, and ten years, according to length of service actually rendered. EARTHQUAKE IN. CALABRIA.--The Opinion e has furnished an account of the earthquake which has occurred in Calabria. Up till midday of the sth of Octo ber no accident had happened in the town of Cosenza, although the shocks continued at intervals, and were pro longed without being strong. In the neighbouring com munes the damage done is very serious. The little hamlet of Cellara is entirely. destroyed, and many houses at Stefano have been . demolished. There are twenty per sons killed at Vegliatura, and more than thirty at Man orea. At Pada, the chief town of the d e p artment, there were no losses but at Rosano, man y buildings were damaged. At 'Cosenza thirteen' houses were destroyed, and the civic hopital. The inhabitants have camped out of the place. Great disasters have also occurred at Catanzaro. CRIME IN IRELAND. In Dr. Neilson Hancock's criminal and judicial returns for 1869-70, many interesting facts in reference to crime in Ireland, are given. He states "the agrarian outrages increased from 19 in July to 337 in December,lB69. In January the number increased to 391, and after the sudden decrease in February rose again to 356 in March. In July, 1170, the latest date before the presentation of the report, the number of these outrages had fallen to 17, which is less than the number (19) in July, 1869, but is high as compared with the number (eight) in July, 186, or the number (five) lin July, 1866, the year in which agrarian crime was at a minimum. The number of out rages other than agrarian, which increased from 224 in August, 1869, to 248 in November, 1869, and to 385 in March, 1870, was reduced in June to 206. In July, a Month usually exceptional with regard to outrages, the number reached 256, which, however, was less than the number (260) in July, 1869. The general characteristics of Irish crime in 1869, as compared with crime in preceding years, are indicated by the following figures :—The number of treasonable and seditious offences attained its maxi mum in 1867, the year of the rising in Tallaght, near Dublin. The number of these offences in that year was 836. It fell ;:o 126 in 1868, and to 68 in 1869. In the most heinous class of these offences—viz., treasonable felony, the diminution was most marked, the cases being 385 in 1867, 16 in 1868, and only three in 1869. The number of persons on trial for serious crime attained a maximum in the year of distress, 1862, and again in 1867. The number of persons for trial was 6,666 in 1862, 4,561 in 1867, and 4,151 in 1869, and making allowance for the difference of population, the number of persons for trial in every 100,000 of the people was 115 in 1862, 82 in 1867, and 75 in 1869 ; shewing a decrease in 1869 of 9 per cent. as compared with the number for trial and the population in 1887, and of 35 per cent. as compared with the number for trial and the population in 1862." Several tables are devoted to the illustration of the connection between criminality and moral degradation. This is most strikingly exemplified with regard to the females. Dr. Hancock states that one-third of the whole number of women apprehended for indictable offences were prostitutes, and nearly the same proportions of those summarily proceeded against, while of those undergoing imprisonment fully 61 per cent. belonged to that class. The connection between ignorance and crime is shewn by the fact, apparent from these returns, that 37 , 4 per cent. of men and 51'2 per cent. of the women could neither read nor write. One fact stated in the summary of the returns speaks well for the vigilance of the Irish police in the detection of crime. It appears that notwithstanding the almost insuperable difficulty of detecting the perpe trators of agrarian outrages, the number of persons appre hended was in the proportion of 66 per cent. of the crimes returned, while in England the number of apprehensions was only 49.9 per cent. CHINESE POLITICS. Theng-Kion Fan, a Chinese official of importance, has written to Mr. Wade, the English Ambassador at Pekin, on the subject of Chinese affairs. He says that European people have shewn a great desire to come to the Chinese Empire, while the people of the Empire have shewn no desire to visit the stranger. When commercial questions tome to be considered, men are always the same, be they foreigners or Chinese, in their calculations. With respect to religion he does not think the day will ever come when the Christian religion will have any influence on the Empire to the neglect of the ancient belief. He says that Europeans call the Chinese Government an absolute one, but that all Chinese sovereigns have known how to maintain their independence. If an attempt were made in China to substitute systems of government which prevail in Western countries, the result would be anarchy and confusion. If the Emperor issued a proclamation which permitted the people to have their own way with respect to the treaty with the Europeans, the consequences would be fatal, for the Chinese are actuated by feelings of animosity towards the foreigners. He trusts that in any new treaties which may be made no effort will be used to obtain further concessions from the Chinese, or any such endeavours will entail serious consequences. A MANUFACTORY OF COUNTERFEIT COlN.—Thomas Vido, a French polisher, of Stacey-street, St. Giles's, was brought before Mr. Knox, at Marlborough-street Police court, charged with uttering a counterfeit florin at Mr. Slingsby's, the White Hart, Windmill-street, Tottenham. court-road, and also with being in possession of a large r q a u t a u n s t f it o y r t o h f counterfeitomaoufaoturceoionf, t a h n e d all same.

Slingsbyfour o'clock yesterday afternoon, in told him he went to No. 33, Dudley-street, and on going to a top back room he was unable to get in, in consequence of the prisoner sating with his back to the door. After a short time he succeeded in e ge ttinff i n to the room, and he then asked the prisoner what he had done with the two-shilling piece he had offered Mr. Slingsby about two o'clock the same day. The prisoner made no answer ; and on his asking him if he bad any more he said " No." Seeing a box at the foot of the bed, and the prisoner with his hand on it, he forced the prisoner's hand away and opened the box, and in it he found 55 florins and 153 sixpences, all counterfeit, and some not perfected, and a counterfeit shilling and sixpence were also found under the chair in which the prisoner was sitting. After taking the prisoner to the station he re turned with Detective Eoyett and others, and found a galvanic battery, plaster of Paris, acids, and other articles used by coiners. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, observing that it was a proper case for the Mint authori ties to prosecute. NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF •" JOHN HALIFAX." Now ready at all•the Libraries, in 1 vol.
