A WINTER JOURNEY TO ROME AND BACK, WITH AN ACCOUNT OF THE OPENING OF THZ CECUMENIC'AL COUNCIL, AND GLANCES AT -- • --- --- MILAN, FLORENCE. NAPLES, POMPEII, AND VENICE. BY WILLIAM EVILL. STANFORD, Charing Cross. Price Ss. Od " Mr. W. Evill has written a lively and agreeable account of ' A Winter Journey to Rome.' His descriptions of scenery in tho 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. " Having read the book through from cover to cover—of itself an eulogium from any reviewer—we could certainly not spare Mr. E yin'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 AO 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 worksof art we can thoroughly testify, and assure our readers that such of them as are meditating an Italian tour could not possibly do better than furnish themselves with a copy."—Bell's Weekly Messenger. " Mr. Evill's visit to Rome was opportunely timed to enable him to witness the great gathering of prelates in attendance at the opening of the (Ecumenical Council ; his journey was accomplished with great rapidity, but his hasty en route sketches are lively and amusing."—Record. " In this pleasant little book we have an abundance of inter esting matter, such as a professed bookmaker might extend into the compass of two goodly volumes. . . . . In the very first page we are satisfied with the book, and are engrossed with its contents We recommend the entire little volume as well to readers as to intending tourists in search of continental information."—News of the World. " The ground was all new to Mr. Evill, and, in spite of the season of the year, he saw it under peculiarly favourable cir cumstances. 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."—Westem 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. His description of Venice is excellent. Mr. Evill's word-painting is far above the average of such descriptions. We are sure that readers, after a perusal of this book, will have a vivid impression of the-scenery described, and be grateful to Mr. Evill for his pleasant recollec tions."—Lloyd's Weekly News. " Accuracy of description will cause this little book to be read, and probably enjoyed, by those Englishmen and English women whom necessity keeps at home year after The profits are to be given to a charity', and we heartily wish it every success, and think that many untravelled Englishmen will find something to interest them in Mr. Evill's " Winter Journey to Rome.' —The Examiner. " This little volume, containing, together with careful descrip tions of places and cities, an account of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council, it is worthy of notice, is dedicated, not in irony or without permission, but in friendship and with full authority, by a Protestant to a Roman Catholic. There may be many worse preparations for a visit to the city which still is queenlike, if no longer queen, than a perusal of this unpreten tious, but instructive volume ; and the author's remarks touching that Church, the services and worship of which serve to make up the entire life of modern Rome may grieve, but will not affront, a liberal Roman Catholic, and may command the assent, but will not shock the better feeliags, of a Liberal Protestant." — Illustrated London News.

MIDNIGHT MEETING MOVEMENT. Office, 5, 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.

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.

The election at Leeds took place on Monday. Thirty four candidates went to the poll, and the board is con stituted as follows: —Five lay members of the Church of Englind, one Church of England clergyman, three Wesleyans, two Roman Catholics, one Iridependent, one Primitive Methodist, one Free Methodist, and one Unitarian. Mr. Jowitt (the Indepen pent candidate) headed the poll with nearly 50,000 votes ; a Church of England candidate stands second ; while Sir Andrew Fairbairn (who contested Leeds unsuc. cessfully at the last general election) polled over 33,000 vote. The lady candidate (Miss Wilson) did not succeed, having polled only 5,122. The representatives put forward by the working men did not secure much support. The " United Liberal " party brought out seven candidates, three of whom were returned. The Church of England party were more successful, carrying all their six men. THE IRISH CAUSE CELEBRE. The Taylor divorce case, which has occupied the atten tion of the Dublin public for the last three weeks, is drawing to a close. Both the gentlemen whose conduct wa§ im peached by Lieutenant Taylor's witnesses, were called before the court, and firmly denied the rsccusations made against them - this testimony being supported by that of Mrs. Deane Taylor, who gave a specific denial to the several bharges of immorality. With respect to Dr. O'Hare, of Belfast, who gave some remarkable evidence, but ended by declaring his inability to swear positively to the iden tity of Mrs. Dean Taylor, she declared that she never saw him until he entered the court. When the evidence was finished, Dr. Todd, the respondent's counsel, proceeded to address the court, contending that the charge of cruelty had not been established. The judge, he remarked, was not there to teach people manners, but to protect the life and health of Mrs. Dean Taylor, when Judge Battersby added, " Arid something more." Dr. Todd resuming, contended that the evidence was not sufficient to induce ' the court to give relief to the petitioner, on whom he threw the blame of all the alleged acts of cruelty. While the learned council was commenting on the evidence, the judge said he did not believe all the evidence. Dr. Todd said he thought old Mrs. Taylor (the respondent's mother) was.entitled to belief, to which the judge rejoined, "1 don't think she is." THE . NEW LORD CHAMBERLAIN. The new Lord Great Chamberlain, in the room of the late Lord Willoughby d'Eresby, will be Mr. Burrell, who, on the meeting of Parliament, will take his seat at; Lord Gwydyr, to which title he has succeeded. Lord Wil loughby d'Eresby died without issue, but Lord Gwydyr, being his nephew, will succeed to the office. The Wil loughby d'Eresby family hold the office during the reign of her present Majesty, on whose death it will fall into the Cholmondeley family, the two families heing heredi tary Great Chamberlains. MEDICAL th.i IN WAR. • .At a meeting of the Social Science Association on Monday evening, Mr. Ernest Hart read a paper on the organisation of medical aid in war. Colonel Loyd- Lindsay presided, and, in commenting on the paper, he asserted that our medical service, which had been severely criticised, was no less efficient than the transport and commissariat services. He also vindicated the credit of the medical staff officers during the Crimean War, who had been described by one of the speakers as laving passed their time in idleness and pleasures. LAW AND POLICE. DESPERATE ASSAULT ON THE POLICE.—Thos. Welsh 33, a deserter from the Royal Naval Reserve, was charged, at the Westminster Police-court, with assaulting the police and resisting his lawful apprehension, and James Marney, 19, a labourer, was charged with attempting to rescue the prisoner and assaulting the police also. The facts were not disputed. Detectives Watts and Clough, of the 13 Division, went to Exeter-street, Chelsea, and apprehended Welsh on the charge of desertion ; after he had gone a few yards he called on the crowd to rescue him, and Marney was the first to volunteer for that purpose ; he knocked Watts down and kicked him, enabling Welsh to get free, and, after escaping, they with a vast crowd made a vio lent attack ,upon the police, and grievously assaulted Watts, Clough, Parish, 339 B, and Ross, 206 B, the whole of !them being smothered with blood and bruises. Prisoners only pleaded drunkenness in excuse, and Mr. Woolrych, after describing their conduct as cowardly and ruffianly, sentenced them to three terms of, six weeks' hard labour, making four months' and a half in all. AR 'UNFORTUNATE PROSECUTOR.—Edward Murrell and Henry Jones, two young men in the employ of Mr. Thompson, draper, Regent-street, were brought :before Mr. Benson, at the Marlborough Police-court, charged with embezzling money received on account of their employer. The cases were heard separately, but the evidence in each case was nearly the same. The prisoners, who were in the employ of the prosecutor as porters at a weekly salary of 16s. each, had goods given them to deliver, for which they were to receive payment ; they received the money, and then absented themselves from their employ, and on being taken into custody by Detective Shrives, of the C Division, they each made a similar statement. Mr. Benson sentenced Murrell to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour ; and committed Jones for trial. A HEAVY FINE.— A young man, named Edward Webb, who on Saturday evening went to the Alhambra in a state of intoxication, and in the midst of a " lark " committed two assaults upon the attendants, was brought up at Marlborough-street, and fined £8 in all, with the alternative of three months' imprisonment. THE BABY PERSONATION CASE.—Mary Hall, the woman committed to take her trial for attempting to foist a child upon Mr. Loe, of Peckham, was brought up at Lambeth for the purpose of allowing several witnesses to be bound over to prosecute. Being herself unable to pro duce the necessary bail, the prisoner was again removed to Horsemonger-lane Gaol. DECREES NISI AND ABSOLUTE.—A judgment, which decided a novel point, was given by Lord Penzance in the Divorce Court, in the cause of Patterson v. Patterson and Graham. The petitioner, a major in the army, asked for a dissolution of his marriage with the respondent, on the ground of her adultery with the co-respondent. The case was tried, and the petitioner obtained a decree nisi, and also £5OO damages. He now sought to obtain the decree absolute. His Proctor, however, objected to his doing so till his bill of costs was paid. The learned Judge said he had studied the case, and had come to the conclusion that the petitioner was entitled to his decree absolute. The fact that in the ccmmon law courts a plaintiff could not receive till he had paid his costs ought not to be taken as a guide for what a petitioner in the Divorce Court should do, for if that were made the rule, the petitioner's decree might be suspendei indefinitely. THE GODERICH DIVORCE CASE.—In the Divorce Court Mrs. Goderich applied for a new trial in the case in which her husband was the petitioner. It was stated on her behalf that the witness who swore to her adultery with Forder had been convicted of perjury, and she had ob tained warrants for the apprehension of those witnesses who swore to her adultery with Mr. Lara ; but the war rant officer had been unable to find them. Dr. Deane, for Mr. Goderich, opposed the application ; but Lord Penzance said that doubtless the evidence of the witnesses who had been convicted of per jury had influenced the jury in their decision as to other acts of adultery. They very likely came to the conclusion that if Mrs. Goderich had been guilty of adultery with two persons, she probably had been with others. His Lordship thought t hat Mrs. Goderich ought to have a new trial of the allegations against her, and would advise that the suit of herself a nd that of her husband should be consolidated, so that the Court would not be troubled by having to go through the same facts twice. DEATH of A GERMAN POET.—The German poet, Adolphe Boettcher, has just died at Leipsic, his native city. He was born on the 21st of May, 1815, and at the age of 21 entered the Un i versit y of Leipsic, devoting , self to philological pursuits, and to the study of German and English poets. Among his numerous poetical produc tions, his translations of the English poets occupy a con spicuous place. In addition to the works of-Shakespeare and Byron, he translated the poems of Goldsmith, Pope, Milton, and Ossian. Among his original works ate " Agnes Bernauer," a drama ; " Songs of Midsummer," "On the Watch Tower," " A Tale of Spring," " Till Eulenspiegel," " Pilgrimage of the Flower," " Spirits," " Shadows," and a collection of smaller lyrics. A DOG Snow.—The babies and the barmaids having had their field-days recently, the time has again come round when the dogs should have an opportunity of competing for popular favour. The faithful animal— some say the dog is the most faithful of all companions of men, when due allowance is made for his deficient intelligence—is well represented this year at Birmingham. No less than 865 members of the canine species, collected from all breeds and from every part of the British Isles, occ upy stalls at the National Show. Sportsmen and other authorities on the subject of dogs who have already paid the quadrupeds a visit assert that the animals produced at the Curzon Hall, Birmingham, are " as fine a race of noble beings as ever delighted the eyes, and won the affections of the squire or knight of the olden time." At the present show the " Bedlington Terriers," hardy dogs, who are known in the mining villages of Northumberland as the " Colliers' friend," and who, as occasion requires, will slaughter at a moment's notice, rats, rabbits, or any small game not bigger than themselves ; Deerhounds, of which twenty-one specimens are exhibited, and Irish Setters, and St. Bernards, one of which latter, as visitors inform us, strikes every beholder with fear, his head pre senting almost the fac-simile of a lion's : and Spaniels are the moat noticeable entries, and render the. show, by reason of their numbers, and generally magnificent vn dition, one of the best ever known in the United Kingdom ONE PENNY, THE MANCHESTER SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION. Some statistics which may be of interest at tl e present moment are to be gathered from the account in the ' Manchester Guardian of the polling for the members of the School Board iu that city. The total number of bur gesses on the roll, and therefore, we presume, entitled to vote, was something over 63,000, of whom 26,513 only, or 42 per cent., exercised their new privilege. The number to be elected on the board was 15 ; the number of candidates who went to the poll was 44. The fifteen chosen obtained an aggregate of 332,643 votes. The candidate at the bead of the successful list was the Rev. Canon Toole, a Roman Catholic, who had 54,560 votes; the lowest on the same list was Mr. Oliver Hey wood, the banker-7,902 votes. The 29 rejected candidates had a total of 66,918 votes in their favour. The highest here mustered 7,469 votes ; the lowest 105 only. It would therefore appear from the report upon which we rely for these figures that in all 399,561 votes were ad mitted ; but there is some discrepancy in the record, because 26,513 voters, with 15 votes a piece; could not pro )erly give more than 397,695 votes. TI-ey might give ess than their allotted number ; but certainly not It employed 60 clerks from five o'clock on irsday afternoon until noon on Friday to examine and count the votes. We _infer that this • staff was employed continuously, for the mayor is stated to have remained at the Town Hall until a late hour on Thurs day night, and personally decided every doubtful vote. On this assumption sixty clerks worked for nineteen hours —with some allowance for refresh ment, if not for rest; equivalent, say, to the labour of one clerk for 1,140 hours. This would shew that the votes were examined, passed, counted, and recorded at the rate, in round numbers, of 350 an hour. We should note the effect of cumulative voting here. Our contemporary remarks that an examination of the return shews that two Roman Catholics, one of them a priest and canon of that Church, head the poll. This was ac complished, under the published advice of leading members of that body, by the concentration of all the Catholic votes upon their candidates ; although it is clear from Canon Toole's position at the head of the list, and majority over his co-religionist, that many of his friends gave all their fifteen votes to him. If only one-tenth of the actual voters had plumped for Canon Toole he would have headed the poll, and been upwards of 3,000 in ad vance of his co-religionist. more 1211 F ELECTIONS . IN THE UNITED STATES. Our New York correspondent, says the Manchester Examiner, summaries the results of the recent State elections, and briefly foroaets their probable influence upon the future of American politics. Writing at the close of a week in which eighteen elections had taken place, he points out that the result as in the previous elections in the Middle States, was to give " scattering Democratic gains all over the country." Putting minor questions aside, the Democratic party, as we before stated, places the policy of free trade in the forefront of the battle; and such gains as it has just achieved—and they have not been inconsiderable— , are to be directly attributed to this free trade policy. The long dominant Republican party, on the other hand, is divided on this very question. Hitherto, it has been thoroughly Protectionist, but a more mature expe rience, as we are justified in asserting, is opening the eyes of many of the party to their erroneous econo mical opinions. To such an extent has this feeling spread, that in some instances this section of the Republicans have started a free-trade candidate, and carried him with the assistance of Democratic votes. These are signs of the times which Englishmen no less than Ameri cans cannot afford to overlook, since they may be fraught with the most important consequences, both of a political . and commercial character, to the two countries. A NEW ENOCH. A.RDEN CASE. At the Swansea Police-court, on Saturday, a middle aged woman made application for a summons against a person under somewhat peculiar circumstences. She stated that thirteen years ago she married one John O'Connell, who, soon after the birth of their second child, left - her, and remained away. After seven years' absence she married one William Beard, with whom she lived up to within a few weeks ago, when her first husband returned to Swansea and claimed her. With the consent of her second husband she took the first back to her home, and lived with him, it being an under standing between them that, the first husband being of a jealous disposition, the name of the second was not to be mentioned in his hearing under any circumstances what ever. OLe evening, however, in gentle remonstrance with her husband for some exuberant manifestation of endear ment, and forgetful at the moment of the change, she uttered the words, "Be quiet, William." Immediat'3ly on this inadvertent mention of the Christian name of the second husband, O'Connell told her to make her peace with everybody, for he would surely murder her. She subse quently found a razor secreted under his pillow, and, being afraid for her life, she sought refuge under the roof of the second husband, with whom she was now living. The conduct of O'Connell had become so violent at this that she now prayed for a summons to bind him over to keep the peace towards her, she being afraid of her life at his hands. The summons was granted, and O'Connell bound over to keep the peace for six months. Mr. Baron Pigott is announced to preside at the soirée of the London Auxiliary of the United Kingdom Alliance, to be held in Exeter Hall on Wednesday even ing next. RAILWAY COUPLINGS.—A. mishap occurred on the Great Western line at Churchill, near Kidderminster, on Monday morning, which might have resulted in a disaster similar to that at Harrow but for the precautions which it is stated the Great Western servants are always directed to take under the circumstances. A luggag e train was running on the up line at high speed when the couplings of one of the trucks snapped, and the engine and fore part of the train dashed on without them. There were two guards at the rear of the detached trucks, and one of them jumped off and ran back to prevent the approach of the next train, an express pas senger for South Wales, till the line was known to be clear. On the Great Western men are liable to fine if they neglect to run back, as the guard in question did, to prevent other trains approach;.ng. As it happened, the trucks of the train referred to ran on into Kidderminster station, a distance of three miles, by their own momentum, and the break had to be applied even then to pull them up. The line was therefore left clear for the express, but singular to say, when the luggage again started the coup linKs broke a second time. RESTIVCCTION OF TWO VESSELS BY FIRE..-.• Particulars have been received in Liverpool of the destruc tion by fire of the ship Louisa Jowett and the fortunate escape of the crew. Captain Pearson, of that vessel, states that the vessel left Ardrossan for Matanzas on the 20th July, and everything proceeded satisfactorily until the 4th September, when about 10 o'clock p.m. a tremendous sea pooped the vessel, which carried away the galley, after hatch-house, and bulwarks, staving the cabin skylight and flooding the cabin. On the 10th of September the weather being fine and the wind light and variable, Cape Cabraon being distant about twenty miles south to south west, the captain observed smoke issuing from the fore hatch. A search was made to discover the seat of tae fire but it was impossible to remain in the hold, owing to the intense heat. The hatches were at once battened down and on the 17th, when the vessel was about twenty miles north-west of Mater Millos Point, in conse quence of the fire continuing to increase in the hold, the barque was abandoned. At about four in the after noon the flames burst out, and at half-past five o'clock the mainmast went by the board. The crew were after wards picked up by a Spanish gunboat, and taken to Nueritos Port. The captain of the Henrietta, who has arrived from Callao, reports that on the sth ultimo in lat. . 6 S., lon. 28 W., he fell in with an iron vessel of about 800 tons dismasted.
