WINTER JOURNEY TO ROME , AND BACK, WITH AN ACCOUNT OF THE OPENING OF THE (ECUMENICAL COUNCIL, AND GLANCES AT MILAN, FLORENCE, IcAPLES, 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, 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. Evil, 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. Evil 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 au eulogium from any reviewer—we could certainly not spare Mr. Evill's always animated, often graphic, and more than once or twice really eloquent descriptions, any more than we could spare his account of the wonderful pageantry of the Papal func tions in Rome, and of the marvellous masterpieces in sculpture and painting scattered among the Palaces and Basilicas. . . . As a graphic delineator of the superb scenery and the renowned cities through which he made this winter journey, he has acquitted himself admirably well."—Sun. " The author has evidently a feeling for the beautiful and the picturesque, and describes what he saw in forcible and some times eloquent language Notwithstanding his well worn subject, Mr. Evill has produced an agreeable little volume, which may not unprofitably detain the reader."—Daily News. " There is no pretension whatever about the book of travels, and though it relates very little of what is new, it tells of nothing that is uninteresting, vapid, or dull. To the truthfulness of its descriptions of places and works of art we can thoroughly testify, and assure our readers that such of them as are meditating an Italian tour could not possibly do better than furnish themselves with a copy:"—Bell's Weekly Messenger. " far. Evill's visit to Rome was opportunely timed to enable him to witness the great gathering of prelates' in attendance at the opening of the (Ecumenical Council ; his journey was accomplished with great rapidity, but his hasty en route sketches are lively and amusing."—Record. " In this pleasant little book we have an abundance of inter esting matter, such as a professed bookmaker might extend into the compass of two goodly volumes ln the very first page we are satisfied with the book, and are engrossed with its contents We recommend the entire little volume as well to readers as to intending tourists in search of continental information."—News of the World. "The ground was all new to Mr. Evill, and, in spite of the season of the year, he saw it under peculiarly favourable cir cumstances. 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 he 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. " This little volume, containing, together with careful descrip tions of places and cities, an account of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council, it is worthy of notice, is dedicated, not in irony or without permission, but in friendship and with full authority, by a Protestant to a Roman Catholic. There may be many worse preparations for a visit to the city which still is queenlike, if no longer queen, than a perusal of this unpreten tious, but instructive volume ; and the author's remarks touching that Church, the services and worship of which serve to make up the entire life of modern Rome may grieve, but will not affront, a liberal Roman Catholic, and may command the assent, but will not shock the better feelings, of a Liberal Protestant"— Illustrated London News.

Little or no progress in the preliminaries for concluding an armistice between the belligerents is announced up to yesterday afternoon. The proposal of the English Government has not yet succeeded ; but neither has it failed. The work is still going on. A telegram from Berlin says the belligerents are favour able on principle to an armistice, but :this statement, however true it may be of Germany, must be received with caution in respect of France. It is certain that at Tours the proposal for an armistice, though acceptable to most of the Republican authorities, is regarded with some suspicion now that Bazaine is known to be negotiating. The Republicans naturally dislike any negotiations with Bazaine or the Imperial family, and in fact will refuse to treat so long as anything of the kind is attempted. The English Government was assured of the favourable disposi tion of the Tours Delegation before the proposal was made but this desire for an arrangement has palpably cooled down in presence of Count Bismarck's ambiguous atti tude. In fact the greatest difficulties will present them selves at the outset on the question as to who is to treat on behalf of the French, and by what means the acceptance of the decision by the nation is to be ensured. The Independance Beige says the Neutral Powers agree in advising Germany to make a durable peace, which can not be hoped for if France be dismembered, and Alsace is conquered against the will of its people. Russia, Austria, and Italy promised their cordial and immediate support to the movement of the English Government, and the French and Prussian Governments gave, it is said, favourable answers. The Crown Prince of Prussia is believed to be more and more opposed to the continuance of the war. ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO MURDER. At the Old Bailey, before Judge Lush, Edward George, Jeremiah Shannon, Theodore Kingwell, and Joshua Mac Carty were indicted on a charge of assaulting James Fairweather, with intent to murder him. It seemed that a short time previous to the occurrence the prisoner George's father was summoned at Marlborough -street Police Court, and the prosecutor was a witness against him. Soon afterwards he met two of the prisoners, a man named Winch and another called Brown, in a public-house. The former tried to get him to ,fight Brown, but he refused. The other prisoneri` mile in, and it was agreed that they should go in two cabs into the country for what the witness called " a jolly." On arriving at Highgate they all went into a field, where, according to the prosecutor he was set ou by the prisoners and assaulted most severely. The medical evidence sheaved that the prosecutor had been " fearfully " maltreated ; for a time he was insensiblo, his memory was impaired, and he had several contused wounds on his head. The de fence in substance was that the prosecutor was engaged in a fight. For M`Carty, it was urged that he committed no assault, and for Kingwell it was asserted that he was by the side of the cab when the assault was committed. The jury found all the prisoners guilty of wounding with intent to do bodily harm. George and M`Carty were sentenced to five years' penal servitude, and the other pri soners to 18 months' imprisonment. COMIC PAPERS. (From Punch.)

Mrs. Moddler never could, for the life of her, under stand what a High Churchman was until she heard of a French Minister being up in a balloon. A VENERABLE JACK HoRNuR.—It is stated that General Von Moltke sat in a corner, pretending to read a novel of Dickens's, while Count Bismarck was lecturing M. Jules Favre. We are not told what the novel was the veteran was shamming over ; but the right sort of thing would be a combination of " Hard Times," " Great Expectations," and " Our Mutual. Friend." ACCIDENT TO A MAGISTRATE.—Mr. Tyrwhitt, the senior magistrate at Marlborough•street police-court, was knocked down by a cab on Tuesday . night. One of the wheels passed over his ancle, and injured it so severely that the learned gentleman will probably be unable to attend to his duties for some weeks. Mr. Tyrwhitt had fined a cabman for furious driving only an hour or two before the accident THE ARREST OF M. SAPIA.—A French journal has given some account of the arrest of M. Sapia. On the Bth of October, Sapia, who commanded the 146th batta lion of the National Guard, assembled his troops and told them he was about to take them to the Hotel de Ville to demand he immediate inauguration of municipal elections, and to shoot all those who opposed them. The citizens arrested their commander and consigned him to the charge of the Imperial Commandant. M. Sapia is French, although of Genoese origin. He was in Mexico, and had a post under Maximilian, afterwards occupying a place in the bank of Algiers. M. Sapia is now detained at the Conciergerie in one of the cells of that prison, which a r e put at the disposition of the Staff. The committee appointed at the sitting of the Irish Church Convention on Monday to consider the subject of reunion with the Society of Primitive Methodists will include the Archbishops of Armagh and Dublin, the Bishop of Derry, the Archdeacons of Ardagh and Clogher, the Revs. Alexander Irwin, Henry Jellett, R Hannay, and A. Daunt, Lords Carrick and Courton, Judges Warren and Harrison, and Messrs. Robert Hamilton and Benjamin T. Hewitt. Some hopes are entertained that, it the union be effected, other Dissenters will follow the example of the Primitive Methodists. FRENCH WANT OF MILITARY PRAC TICE.—A Franc-tireur writes to the Journal de .Rouen to complain of the total lack of practice at the target among the French recruits. This renders them, he says, compara tively useless, for want of proper confidence in themselves and their arms, yet he often sees them sauntering in the streets to dispel their ennui. The Wurtemberg garrison, who hold Melun, are, according to this account, composed of youths of 15 to 18, who weep, and ask to be allowed to leave. Their arms are the old rusty guns, a tabatiere taken from the French arsenals in the Last. They were mere novices and might, one would supposed, have been easily dislodged. Is it not melancholy, asks the writer, that such insignificant troops should have sufficed to subdue the chief town of the department of Seine-et-Marne ? 'rho astonishing number of cartridges destroyed in the defence of Orleans and Chateaudun, prove how bad is the French fire. At Chateuadun gallantly defended, 2,000 Prussians are said to have been laid low, but 60,000 cartridges were burned ! A soldier doubles his value when his aim is good; and targets should be erected everywhere without delay, so that each soldier may be a good marksman, THE NEWS FROM THE CAPE.—A great change appears to be setting in respecting the opinions of colonists in South Africa. Everywhere the desire gains ground, even among the Dutch Boers, of having some sort of federative combination for mutual pro tection and the maintenance of good order. The diamond discoveries are likely to stimulate this tendency in a remarkable degree; tending, as they necessarily do, to attract an influx of popula tion from all parts of the world, who may be very useful if they are made to behave themselves, and very mischievous if they are not. The Government have sent special .magistrates and police to certain districts where it was deemed important to establish something like an effective reign of law, and they have been wel earned generally, and others have been asked for. The latest accounts of the find of gems, though varied and con flicting, all strongly corroborate the belief in the richness of the hitherto neglected regions in minerals and jewels.— Manchesier Guardian. FOUNDERING OF A STEAMER AND Loss OF EIGHT LlVES.—Advices from San Francisco give some details of the foundering of the steamer Continental in the Gulf of California, and the loss of eight lives. The steamer was on a voyage from Mazatlan to San Francisco with a full complement of passengers, $140,000 in specie, 700 tons of salt, and a large mail. - On the 28th of September she encountered a hurricane in the Gulf of California, and sprung a leak. Both the steam and hand pumps were constantly worked for twelve hours, but to no purpose. At nine o'clock on the morning of the 29th the water got into the stoke hole. The captain, seeing that there was no chance of saving the vessel, ordered the six boats to be lowered, and into these got the crew and passengers, with the exception of seven passengers and the second cook, who all refused to leave the steamer. The boats had not got far from the Continental when she was seen to give a lurch and go down. Two of the boats reached Cape St. Lucas on the evening . of the 30th, and the re maining boats succeeded in arriving near the same place. The Continental's mails and the $140,000 in specie were lost. The vessel was 1,625 tons burden, and formed one of the Ben Halliday line of steamers running between San Francisco and the Mexican ports. The passengers whoowere drowned were M. Manuel Rubio, Mazatlan; M. Jose Monas, San Luis Potosi; Mr. J. B. Lylle, Mr. Martine,z, and three Mexican gentlemen, whose names were unknown. THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON AND MS LABOURS. The Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress of London entertained on Tuesday night the General Purposes Com mittee of the Corporation of the City at dinner at the Mansion House. In proposing one of the toasfs, his lordship said he could hardly believe that twelve months had elapsed since he took up his official residence in the Mansion House, so quickly and agreeably,; had the time passed. Some people fancied the Lord Mayor had nothing else to do than sit in his arm-chair and sip turtle soup and smoke the very best tobacco ; but that, his lordship said, was a popular delusion, in proof of which he gave a sketch of the manifold duties in which he was occupied from ten in the morning until five in the afternoon from day to day during his year of office, Sundays excepted, including the signing 600 or 700 docu ments daily as a Justice of tae Peace simultaneously with the discharge of his functions as a ma g istrate, which always occupied two and occasionally four hours a day. GREAT FIRE AT NORTHAMPTON. At four o'clock yesterday morning a fire broke out at Northampton, in the manufactory of Mr. Francis Mul liner, the well-known carriage builder, who has an establishment in Brook-street, London. It was discovered id the store-room where a large quantity of inflam mable materials speedily communicated the blaze to the front show room, containing a large stock of very valuable carriages, nearly the whole of which were destroyed. An enormous quantity of sawn timber, in the shape of spokes and felloes, was also consumed. The books were saved, but the offices were completely gutted, and the premises of Mr. Fox, butcher, on the south side, and three cottages on the north of the buildings were in great danger. The premises are crescent-shaped, extending to the length of about 200 feet, and one wing and the centre were entirely destroyed. By the joint exertions of the volunteers and the town brigade the body makers', carriage-makers', wheelers', and smiths' shops were saved. The supply of water was very inefficient, and it was an hour before the firemen were able to play upon the flames. The loss is roughly calculated at £20,000. SAVAGES IN NORTH DEVON. Under this head, about twelve months ago, a para graph appeared in the Times, giving a description of a family living at Neymet Rowland, in North Devon. The paragraph attracted much attention at the time, and we are informed that the Home Secretary requesting in formation with regard to these extraordinary people, the clerk to the magistrates in the division where they live sent a return of more than fifty summonses which had been issued by the magistrates against them for various offences. Since then, and during the last few days, the public in Devonshire have again had their attention attracted to this notorious family on account of some proceedings which a respectable farmer, named Partridge, living near them, instituted against them, for, as he alleged, en trapping his cattle into a field belonging to them, which has no gate to it, impounding them, and charging Mr. Partridge a heavy sum. The case was tried at the County Court, and Mr. Partridge obtained a verdict. Our corres pondent paid a visit to the locality where the family in question reside. The family consists of an old man and woman, their son, three unmarried daughters, and a numerous progeny of little ones. They all live in an old barn propped up by posts, and this barn has neither windows nor doors to it. There is no dormitory in it, and one room, almost destitute of furniture, serves for every domestic purpose, a pit in it being the sleeping place of the whole family. In the summer many members of the family have been seen in a state of almost nudity at work in the field, and nameless vicious acts have been witnessed by the neighbours. The clergyman of the parish, the Rev. Mr. Parkinson, informed our correspondent that the words and deeds of those people were disgusting and abominable, and that it was not safe for a lady to pass near their wretched dwelling. The re monstrances of the minister are received with oaths, and he is saluted with odious names and obscene language. The daughters of the old man and woman, who are robust young women, have the voices and manners of rough men, They use the foulest language to passers by who may be obnoxious to them, and often assault with alarming vigour those whom they dislike. On one occasion one of them attacked a respectable farmer of the neighbourhood, Mr. Carver, with such ferocity that he fainted from loss of blood, and he bears the marks of the blows on him to this day. Encounters between them and neighbours are frequent, and a gun has sometimes been fired from the old barn by concealed hands, when these fights have been going on. The savageries of these people are indescribable, and the annoyance and alarm they have caused to the neighbourhood is a subject of loud complaint. Many members of the family have suffered imprisonment for divers offences, but they have only returned again to renew their depredations and their nameless obscenities. Missionaries in foreign lands never encountered a tribe of savages who required civi lising more than this wretched tribe of people in North Devon. They own thirty acres of freehold land, on which they live, and they are thus likely to continue for a long time to violate physical and moral laws with impunity, unless some measures could be taken to put an effectual end to the corrupting and dangerous influences which they exercise in the neighbourhood where they exist. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. There was a rumour at Queenstown, on Tuesday, that one of her Majesty's gunboats was missing; but as the report did not come from an official source, we should not wish to placo much credence in it.—Cork Herald. A course of exp erimental target practice is now in pro gress at the Curragh, with four stand of short action Martini-Henry rifles, by the 44th Regiment, under the superintendence of the District Inspector of Musketry. From time to time a few " hired" mechanics are taken on at Chatham Dockyard, but no extensive increase of hands has been recently made. Some of these hired men are engaged in the work on the Oberon. Vice-Admiral George Greville Wellesley, C. 8., on Tuesday hoisted his flag at Portsmouth on board the training ship St. Vincent, pro tan., as the future Com mander-in-Chief of the Channel Squadron, vice Vice- Admiral Sir Reginald Hastings Yelverton, 'K.C.B. ' ap pointed to the command-in-Chief of her Ma je sty' s ships in the Mediterranean. The order of Committee of Council prescribing the time of election to the School Boards in London will, it is said, appear in Friday night's Gazette, and an interval of three or four weeks will subsequently elapse before the electors are called upon to record their votes. THE BALAKLAVA DINNER.—On Tuesday evening the officers who had participated in the Balaklava engage ment commemorated the anniversary at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's. Major-General Lord George Paget, K.C.8., presided, and the following officers were present :—The Earl of Lucan, G.C.B. ; Major-General the Hon. Sir J. Yorke Scarlett, G.C.B. ; Major-General Douglas, C.B. ; Major-General Hodge, C. B. ; Colonel Low, C. B. ; Major-General Wardlaw, C. B. ; Major-General Sir Thomas M'Mahon, C.B. ; Colonel Jenyns, C.B. ; Major- General White, C.B. ; Colonel Shute, C.B. ; Dr. Ander son, Captain Brigstock, Major Cooke, Colonel Clarke, Major Emsall, Captain Goad, Major Godman, Colonel George, Colonel Hunt, Major Manley, Major M'Creagh, Captain M`Doual, Colonel Portal, Sir Roger Palmer, Captain Sandeman Lieutenant-Colonel Swinfen, Major Clowes, Colonel 'krevelyan , Major Hutton, Captain Clutterbuck, Major Prendergast, Mr. Alexander Cruik shank, Mr. E. Pepys, &c. THE SIEGE OF METz.—Metz is said to have ex hausted its supply of cattle and sheep on the 18th. It is however estimated that there is a sufficient number of horses to feed the garrison for two months longer. This statement is confirmed by the fact that no bullocks or sheep are to be seen, but cavalry and artillery have been observed on the march, so that there is no doubt that plenty of horses remain. There does not appear, up to the 22nd, to have been any belief in the Prussian camp that the town would soon surrender. On the contrary, the Prussians have been constructing numerous casemates, covered with batteries. These casemates are roofed with railway rails placed close together, and covered with earth. Twenty or thirty deserters come in every day. M. EMILE GIRARDIN AND THE FRENCH SENATE. —Among the papers found in the office of the Minister of Justice were 18 decrees, dated St. Cloud, July 27, appointing as many Senators. Among these names was that of Emile de Girardin, for his services as a publicist. M. de Girardin has written an explanation of the matter to the Gazette de France. He knew, he says, of the existence of the decree, the offer having been made to him so far back as April, independently of M. Emile 011ivier. Having been member of the Chamber of Deputies at intervals ever since 1834, and member of the National Assembly of 1851, up to the fatal 2nd of December he would have held it inconsistent to have re fused a seat in the newly reformed Senate. So generally were the facts of the case known that his withdrawal from the responsible editorship and management of the Liberte, an office incompatible with that of the Senate—was every where attributed to this cause. However M. de Girardin, in notifying his acceptance of the office to the Empress Regent, said he could not feel justified, in the burdened state of the country, to impose a fresh charge of 30,000 f. ou the public treasury, and could, therefore, only accept the seat in harmony with the vote by which the members of the Senate renounced their dotation. This letter he now publishes. LAW AND POLICE. REFRACTORY PAUPERS. Pour casual paupers were brought before Mr. Paget, at the Thames Police-court, charged with refractory conduct in the casual ward of the Mile-end Old-town Workhouse, Bancroft-road. Two of them, able-bodied fellows, would not break any stones, after they had received a night's lodging and rations for supper and breakfast. Mr. Paget asked them why they did not work in return for the benefits they had received, to which they replied that they wero not accustomed to break stones. Mr. Paget : You should have tried. You are not to select the kind of work the guardians require you to per form. You are sentenced to one month's imprisonment and hard Tabour. Two other able-bodied paupers were charged with destroying their own clothes, and each a pair of trousers provided for them. The prisoners said their own clothes were filthy, dirty, and ragged, and they could not seek or obtain work with such things on them. They tore up the trousers because they were impressed with letters and red chalk. Mr. Paget : How is that ? The labour master said the trousers had been worn by dock labourers and they might have been marked and lettered by them with red ochre. The canvas trousers were in the precise state in which they were received by the Guardians, and must have been marked before - they came into their hands. Mr. Paget sentenced the prisoners to 21 days' imprisonment, with hard labour. ROBBERY BY A BARISIAM.--JOhn Barber, a bar man, in the employ of Mr. C. B. Buer, landlord of the Champion Tavern, Wellington Street, Oxford Street, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing a florin, the money of his master. The prosecutor said that for some time past, having suspected the prisoner, who was his barman, of robbing him, last night he watched him, and saw him take some thing from the till and then put his hand to his head, and he then distinctly saw in his hand a florin. He told the prisoner he had robbed him, and he said he had not, and that he only had two shillings in his pocket, at the same time trying to get away. He afterwards gave the prisoner into custody. In answer to the prisoner, the prosecutor said the reason why he did not discharge him, as ho suspected him, was because he wanted to detect him, as he paid him well and fed him well, and had no right to be robbed. Police-constable Marshall, 206 E, said that at the station three shillings and a florin were found on the prisoner, who mixed them together. The prisoner told him he had a box with £1 in it, but he found £1 13s. in it, and in a coat pocket 12 half-sovereigns, also a suit of superfine clothes and a ticket for four for the dress circle at Drury-lane Theatre. In reply to Mr. Knox, the witness said he had reason to believe he had been exten sively robbed. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for three months', with hard labour. THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE'S BANKRUPTCY. —ln the Bankruptcy Court, Basinghall-street, a motion was made in the case of the Duke of Newcastle, it being on behalf of the bankrupt by Mr. Inunns, of the firm of Messrs. Lewis, Inunns, and Company, to extend the time for surrendering to the Court. Mr. Innuns stated that the period fixed for the surrender was the 24th of November, but negotiations were now pending for effecting an amicable settlement of all the claims, and thus rendering further proceedings unnecessary. The time at present fixed was too close for completing the arrangements, hence the motion. There being no opposition on the part of the petitioning creditor, Mr. Registrar Roche acceded to the application. ALLEGED EXTENSIVE FRAUDS AND RESTITUTION.—At the Central Criminal Court, before Mr. Justice Lush, Jonas Wolf, aged 26, was indicted on several counts for stealing a very large quantity of rags, and also with con spiring with another man, named Jevons, to obtain the same. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the conspiracy.— Mr. F. H. Lewis, for the prosecutor, said that since the prisoner had been in custody, he had made all the resti tution in his power, and had sent a draft for £l,OOO, which would nearly cover the value of the rags obtained. Under these circumstances the prosecutors were desirous of withdrawing from the prosecution, and allowing the accused to go at large on his own recognisance to appear if called on to do so. After some conversation, the learned Judge allowed this course to be adopted. THE ALLEGED MURDER AT GREENWICH.—John Tan teny pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to the manslaughter of his wife, Frances Tanteny. Owing to the miserable way in which the prisoner lived, the case, when before the magistrate, created a large amount of attention.— Mr. Besley, for the prisoner, said his client was indicted for the murder of his wife ; but the grand jury threw out the bill. The prisoner, his wife and seven children lived in one little underground room. On the day in question, Tanteny came home, and was having a meal, when his wife compained of the son, who was sixteen years old, because he had been impudent, and had refused to go out and sell some shrimps when he knew how much a few pence were wanted. On hearing this Tanteny got into a rage, and threw a knife with the intention of striking the boy. The latter moved out of the way, and the knife struck the deceased, and from the wound thus inflicted Mrs. Tanteny died. Mr. Besley urged the previous good character of the prisoner on the consideration of the court, and concluded by making an ad misericordium, appeal to Mr. Justice Lush. The learned judge said he would consider what sentence he should pass. The ex-Empress Eug6nie visited London again yesterday. Mr. Bruce, when in the north, waa offered and accepted the freedom of the burgh of Banff. The cere mony is deferred for the present. PAUPERISM AND P UBLIC-HOUSE HO URS.—At the weekly meeting of the Liverpool Select Vestry on Tuesday, a petition to Government was adopted, with one dissentient, praying that further legislative restrictions might might be adopted in reference to the earlier closing of public and beer houses, with the object of checking the increase of intemperance and pauperism. THE STATUE OF THE QUEEN AT LIVERPOOL.— The unveiling of the equestrian statue of the Queen erected in front of St. George's Hall, Liverpool, which is fixed for the 3d of November, will be a very interesting ceremony. On the steps of St. George's Hall will be placed about 1,000 children from the different local schools and institutions. In the evening the mayor will give a grand banquet at the Town Hall. THE AURORA BOREALIS.—This phenomenon reappeared in London on Tuesday night soon after dark ness had set in, and was quite as brilliant as on Monday. People, however, were not again deceived, and did not imagine that an enormous conflagration was raging, as was generally supposed on the previous night, when not only did the engines turn out, but hundreds of people ran for miles in all directions, expecting to witness a terrible fire. THE IRISH CHURCH CONVENTION.—At the sit ting of the Church Convention on Monday, says a Dub lin correspondent, Dr. Longfield called attention to the fact that several members (of the Low Church party) had received post cards having insulting remarks upon them. The Mail publishes these thus :—J. Bloomfield Esq., `• Brainless, blundering bumpkin." Lord James Butler, "Blustering booby." Dane, Esq., "Damnable." J. Ellison Mabartney, Esq., " Marplpt." THE BISHOP OF MAN CHESTER ON EDUCATION.— Before presenting the Oxford local examination prizes and certificates at the Free-trade Hall, Manchester, on Mon day, the Bishop of Manchester said he thought that, as a nation, we had been narrow in our views upon education; and henceforth, in middle-class schools, a larger and wider programme was necessary. The special result at which the education of the middle classes should aim was the production of more power and more refinement. The period of education should be prolonged. Recreation also was one means of education, and we required very much a multiplication of innocent sources of public enjoy ment. This last remark was in defence of the recom• mendation in a previous speech of such entertainments as the theatrical representation of Shakspere's "Richard III." MHOW.—The improvement in the health of the troops stationed at Mhow in 1868 may be taken as a good illustration of the benefits that are likely to arise from the adoption of ordinary sanitary measures at our Indian sta tions. The great diminution in the number of cases of fever was remarkable. The ratio of admissions to hospital from this disease fell from 940 per 1,000 in 1865 to 267 per 1,000 in 1868. In the interim between these two periods considerable drainage works had been effected, and much improvement made in the ventilation of the barracks. The stables and litter depots had likewise been removed from the windward side of the barracks. The opposite state of things is exemplified at Jacobabad, where the rising of the subsoil water line during the last few years has been coin cident with a large increase of fever. In 1868 the admissions to hospital for fever were 2,740. MARRIAGE OF EARL COWPER AND MISS COMPTON. —On Tuesday morning the marriage of Earl Cowper with Miss Compton (daughter of Lord William Compton) took place at All Saints Church, Ennismore-place, Princes-gate. The Rev. Lord Alwyne Compton (uncle of the bride) officiated, assisted by the Rev. Ferguson, the Rev. C. G. Lane and the Rev. T. Huntley Greene, vicar of All Saints. The bride was attended by . Lady Florence and Lady Amabel Cowper, Miss Minnie and Miss Mabel Compton, Miss Ashley, and Miss Fane, all of whom wer e d resse d in white silk with maroon sashes and trimmings. Lord William Compton gave away his daughter, and Captain Tower was the " best man" to the bridegroom. Among those present to witness the ceremony were the Earl and Countess of Shaftesbury and Lady Vic toria Ashley, the Dowager Countess of Sefton, Earl and Countess Brownlow, Dowager Countess Cowper, Earl Roden, Viscount and Viscountess Sudley, Lady .Alwyne Compton, the Right Hon. W. and Mrs. Cowper, Mr. Courtenay, and a n umerous congrega ti on . A selection of appropriate music was performed on the occasion. The breakfast took place at the residence of the Marquis of Northampton, on the Terrace, Piccadilly. In the afternoon the happy pair left town for Compton Win yates. ~w their cam- Leatre thew state rejoin f the Provi" ober ; ;ep to )1. the ,esee? )rderg The spite that civic f the GrO B ' F of rri 5 , t f the
