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. 6d. " 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, sheaving 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. 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. Evil 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. " bfr. 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. - - • " 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. Evil, and, in spite of the season of the year, he saw it under peculiarly favourable cir cumstances. He has an eye quick to see, and a pen that enables him to tell right pleasantly, and not a little vividly, what he has seen. . • . . Mr. Evill was fortunate enough, in company with his friend, Mr. Charles Kent, the poet, to see the pro cession in St. Peter's, on the opening day of the Vatican Council. His description of it is very graphic."—Western Morning News. " Italy has been described to the reading world again and again, and, therefore, the charm of Mr. Evill's book is not the charm of novelty, but it has a charm. There is a fresh, Inge nuous manner, that appeals to the reader. The author records his impressions and describes minutely the beauty of the Italian scenery without a thought of the travellers who have gone before. Some passages, descriptive, are really excellent. The exterior and interior of Milan cathedral are put before us in 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. 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 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 Mire 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.

SHIPPING DISASTERS.—The steamer Continental left Mazatlan, Mexico, for San Francisco with a full com plement of passengers, $140,000 in treasure, 700 tons of salt and a large mail. On the 28th of September she en countered a severe gale in the Gulf and sprung a leak. The pumps were worked constantly for 12 hours, but to no avail. At 9 o'clock on the morning of the 29th the water reached the furnaces, putting out the fires. All hopes of saving the vessel were then abandoned, and six boats, filled with people, shoved off. Seven passengers and the second cook refused to leave the steamer, and went down with her. Two of the boats arrived at Cape St. Lucas on the evening of the 30th, The other boats landed near Cape St. Lucas. The treasure and mails were a total loss. The steamship Washington, 400 tons, which left Wilmington for New York on the 14th of October, took fire when nine miles out, and was expected to prove a total loss. She was run ashore at Big Island. Her cargo consisted of turpentine, cotton, and resin. WHY SOLDIERS DIE IN INDIA.—A report recently made by the Sanitary Commissioner of the Punjaub paints so melancholy a picture of the unhealthy condition of Peshawur that we do not wonder the Army Sanitary Commission have recommended the removal of the troops stationed at that place to a more healthy climate. The average death-rate of European troops for nine years is found by Dr. Brlden to be 55 per 1,000. O u t o f 522 deaths among huropean soldiers, no fewer than 250 were due to cholera, 37 to bowel complaints, and 39 to fever, and out of 225 deaths among the native troops, 151 were due to like causes. In the ten years from 1858 to 1868 the average mortality in the gaol w as 10.54 per cent. The death-rate from cholera from the recent epidemic in the East-end of London was only 73 per 10,000, and the mention of this fact will enable one to appreciate the state of things at Peshawar. But we cease to wonders at the unhealthiness of the place when we learn the state of the drainage and water supply. "The water is got chiefly from wells, which are numerous and surrounded by the most polluted soil— large ce,ss-pits full of black offensive stuff being found within a few feet of those wells. But part of the water used by the people comes from a small canal led from the Bara river, and about eight miles long, and we are told that the water flows through the cantonment in a number of open surface channels simply scooped out of the soil, and is exposed to every species of contamination—lat rines, urinals, washhouses, stables, slaughter-houses &c. There are no fewer than seven burial-grounds on the bank of the stream; several fresh graves were noticed within 3ft. of the water's edge. There are, moreover, three villages on the banks of the cut, with an aggregate popul ation of 1598 souls ; and 37 mills are worked by the water of tie stream before it enters the cantonment." But this is not all ; there is no sewerage system in the city • a portion of the solid excreta of the 58,000 inhabitants is removed, but a large part of it and all liquid excreta soak into the soil or evaporate on the surface. In short, only the heat and dry ness of the climate, we are informed, have preserved the people from extinction, by permitting them to sleep in the open air on the tops of the houses during the greater part of the year. And yet all that is needed is the adoption of measures for securing an improved water supply and efficient drainage to thoroughly transform the place into a fairly habitable city. The Lieutenant- Governor has directed the district officer to aid the execu tive engineer and sanitary commissioner to draw up a scheme for that purpose.—Pall Mall Gazette. - ._ -„, , . ~ ,,, r,4. ..... ~ . , ,1*,,, :i... -_-___ .. ._ ~,,, 7 , , I. : .zi...

TO THE ELECTORS AND RATEPAYERS OF MARYLEBONE. GENTLEMEN, present myself as a Candidate for Election to the London School Board as one of the Representatives of Marylebone. I have incessantly and actively advocated a system of National Unsecterian Education.

I have been led to believe that my humble services to the pub lic cause will recommend me to the place of honour I seek at the new Education Council. I represent no sect, no party,'no clique, and am not specially supported by any organisation. I base my candidature broadly on my known participation in the political progresses of the last twenty years, of which the Elementary Education Bill of 1870 is the most important. Trusting to be favoured with your support on the day of election, _ . I remain, Gentlemen, Yours, faithfully, BLANCIIARD JERROLD. Reform Club, Oct. 17th 1870.

UNPROVOKED ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.-- Mr. Charles James Kilpiu, an elderly man, residing at No. 55, Piccadilly, was charged before Mr. Knox, at the Marl borough -street Police-court, with being drunk and dis orderly, and also with assaultinz'a young married woman, named Charlotte Babbage, residing in Bond-street, Golden-square. Mr. Moore, of the Associate Institute for Enforcing the Laws for the Protection of Women, watched the case. Police -constable Leader, 326 K, said that shortly after six o'clock yesterday evening he was in Old Bond-street, and saw the prisoner, who was drunk, pushing females off the pavement. He went up to the prisoner, and told him that he must desist, when he said he should do as he liked, and that he must have room to !walk. The prisoner then went on, and struck a lad on the head and nearly knocked him off the pavement ; and on a female coming along with some work in her arms, he strack her a severe blow in the breast. He then took the prisoner to the station, and from in quiries he had since made he found that the prisoner had formerly been in good circumstances, but was not right in his mind. In reply to Mr. Knox, the constable said the female had not done anything whatever to the pri soner to provoke him. Mrs. Charlotte Babbage deposed that while walking along Bond-street, yesterday evening, the prisoner came up to her and struck her a severe blow in the breast. Mr. Knox asked the witness whether she was much hurt ? The complainant said she was. Mr. Knox said the prisoner's conduct was thoroughly brutal, and he did not think he was in his right mind. If he thought the prisoner was in his right mind he would send him to prison for three months. He would remand the prisoner for a week, to ascertain whether he was sane or not. If the prisoner was insane he ought to be taken care of, and if sane he ought to be severely punished. He would also endeavour to get the injured female some com pensation. THE EUROPEAN BANK.—A suit has been instituted by the European Bank, as at present constituted, against Mr. Colchester and other of the late directors, claiming restitu tion of a loss of £23,000, alleged to have been sustained in consequence of the purchase of shares in a foreign com pany, the plaintiffs' having protested against the transac tion at the time the negotiations were pending. The cause has already advanced a stage, the plaintiff's having been ordered to produce all books in their possession, so as to enable the defendents to prepare their defence. This order had been complied with only to a certain extent : the prin cipal branch of the bank was at Paris, and it was alleged that in consequence of the investment of the capital by the Prussians, it was utterly impossible to comply with the order. The Chief Clerk in Vice-Chancellor Bacon's Chambers, on the application on the part of the bank, now varied the order by confining it to English docu ments, but ruled that the mere production of the minute books in this country would be insufficient, and the defen dant's time to ansu er would only date from the period when matters had come to a satisfactory issue in that respect. THE CREDIT FONCIER AND MOBILIER OF ENGLAND.— The action brought by this organisation against the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company came before Mr. Leman, chief clerk in Vice-Chancellor Bacon's chambers. It was partially stayed by the award of the arbitrators. It is against Lord Sondes, Sir Morton Peto, Mr. Edwards, and other prominent railway men to recover the amount of certain debentures, on the ground of improper dealing; and the defendants have filed a cross bill to discover the amount actually paidlor the debentures in question. An application was made to extend the time for answering the amended bill ; and as Sir Morton Peto was now in England the chief clerk granted the summons. THE PRIVATE ESTATE OF SIR R. HARVEY. With reference to the recent bank failure at Norwich, the question whether the private estate of the late Sir R. Harvey is liable for certain large claims made against him in connection with his very extensive Stock Exchange operations, will come on for argument in the Court of Chancery in a few days. The claimants have taken the opinion of Sir Roundell Palmer on the subject, and Sir Roundell is stated to have pronounced very decidedly in their favour. THE ALLEGED BREACH OF PROMISE CASE.—Judgment was allowed to go by default in the case of Clarkson v. Eisenburg, heard at the London Sheriffs' Court. It will be remembered that damages had been laid at £l,OOO in the declaration, wherein it was alleged that the defen dant not only failed to keep his promise of marrying the jlaintiff, but that he had married another lady. Mr. berjeant Sleigh claimed substantial damages for the breach of promise in this case, and commented on the con. duct of the defendant in unmeasured terms. For six years he had kept up his correspondence, and when he could not extract any more money, having compelled the plaintiff to go through the Bankruptcy Court, he married a Lancashire lady with money, having in one of his letters said he loved no one, but must have money. Mr. Turner, for the defendent, submitted to the jury that it was a case only for moderate damages. Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell told the jury that the only question for them was the amount of d.amages to be awarded. It all depended in what manner the jury viewed the conduct of the parties. All the parties had been mixed up in gambling transactions, and it was clear that the plaintiff knew that the defendant had kept a mistress, and she consented that he should do so for a certain period. It was also clear that the plaintiff had been concerned with the defendant's brother in bet ting, and the advances made probably arose from those transactions. The jury would take into consideration the character of the plaintiff and the position of the defendant. It had been stated that the defendant had married a woman of property, but they knew nothing as to whether it was settled on her and he had not given any evidence. The jury would estimate the damages in the best Way they could from the evidence given. The jury retired, and, after a brief consultation, assessed the damages at £750. ANTONIO AUACIO.—The case of Antonio Agacio, the son of a Liverpool merchant, who stole £2,300 from his father and then got married, came before the Recorder of Liverpool. The Recorder said he had considered the depositions, and it appeared to him that the ch.rge against the male prisoner was a very serious one, and he had satisfied himself that the prisoner's wife knew of the robbery. But, after all, the prosecutor was the father of Antonio, and in that respect this case differed from one in which there was no such relationship ; for which reason he would be very much inclined to entertain an applica tion from the father, as prosecutor in the case, to enter into a satisfactory undertaking on his part to send both the young people out of the country, so that there should be no risk of their being again in a condition to do any further harm here. The father would also have to pay all the costs of the prosecution. The death is announced of the Hon. Isabella Letitia Woulfe, daughter of the second Baron Graves. She was married in 1853 to Mr. Stephen Ronald Woulfe. THE BOMBAY COTTON MARKET.—Mr. William Wanklyn, of Manchester, has received the following telegram from Messrs. Volkart Brothers, of Bombay, dated Wednesday :—" Four i nc h es o f ra i n h as d es t roye d half the crop of Oomrawuttee cotton. Market closed on account of holidays. Prospects of imports much better. Dhollerah, 6d. ; Sawginned Dharwar, 7d., both cost and freight." THE LONDON BUILDERS' SOCIETY.—The anni versary festival of the Builders' Benevolent Institution took place on Thursday evening at Willis's Rooms. It was reported that there were now 44 pensioners in re ceipt of annuities from the institution-22 males and 22 females, the former receiving £24 and the latter £2O per annum. The total number of persons who have received benefits from the institution since its establishment is 108. THREATENED GREAT MASSACRE IN CHINA.-- Advices from Hong Kong to Bombay state that a day for the massacre of foreigners at almost every Treaty port, Canton included, has been predict e d. G rea t satis faction was expres se d at the promised co-operation of England. The massing of troops continued, and the evidence of the intended resistance to foreigners has been strengthened. The Canton community had called the attention of the Consuls to the insolence displayed by the Chinese, and had declared that they expected pro tection. CONFERENCE AT YORK.—A conference of clergy and laity was opened at York under the presidency of the Archbishop,- and was numerously attended. Papers were read' on a number of subjects, including several on Church education under the new law, and the duties of owners of property in furtherance of Church objects. On the latter topic Lord Houghton delivered an address, and, at the close of the morning sitting, the Archbishop spoke on education, and encouraged Churchmen to take a hopeful view of the new state of things. On the question of the school boards, he asked why the proportion of ten to one against the anti-religious party which existed in the Par liamentary divisions should not be preserved in the consti tution of the school boards. COVENTRY SCHOOL OF ART.--011 Wednesday evening the annual meeting of the Coventry School of Art was held. Lord Leigh presided, and presented the p r i zes . Alderman Gulson read the report, which shewed that there had been a large increase of members and the drawings and designs exhibited had been very good. The school had a balance in the bank of £279175. 6d. The report also spoke of some munificent gifts made by the late member for the city, Mr. Samuel Carter, who had given £l5O for the purchase of Mr. Forbes Watson's work on the textile fabrics of India. Mr. Carter had also offered to give another £5OO (having previously given a similar sum), with a view to the extension of the operations of the school. The Mayor, in proposing the adoption of the re port, spoke strongly against the perpetuation of the Godiva procession, which was a degradation of art.
