" Mr. W. Evill has written a lively and agreeable account of `A Winter Journey to Rome.' His descriptions of scenery in the Alps and of the Italian cities are exceedingly graphic, shewing much sympathy with nature, and a refined intelligence, Though the style of the book is somewhat sketchy, it is thoroughly readable, especially in the passages referring to the Council, which have in some degree the value of contemporary history."--- Daily Telegraph. "Those who have followed the well-known route, and visited the spots described by Mr. Evill, are scarcely likely to add much to their fund of information by reading his lively sketches; yet we are far from saying that the publication is superfluous. To gain knowledge is not the only object which induces a man or woman to take ap a new volume • and if Mr. Evill does not add distinctly to our stock, he has the art—a rare one—of placing familiar scenes in a fresh and agreeable light. . . . • The book has the merit of being thoroughly readable."—Pall Mall Gazette. 3.

"Raving read the book through from cover to cover—of itself an eulogium from any reviewer—we could certainly not spare Mr. Evlll's always animated, often graphic, and more than once or twice really eloquent descriptions, any moro 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. " 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 may extend into the compass of two goodly volumes ln the very first page we are satisfied with the book, and are engrossed with its contents We recommend the entire little volume as well to readers as to intending tourists in search of continental information."—News of the World. " The ground was all new to Mr. Evil, and, in spite of the season of the year, he saw it under peculiarly favourable cir cumstances. He has an eye quick to see, and a pen that enables him to tell right pleasantly, and not a little vividly, what he has seen. . . . . Mr. Evill was fortunate enough, in company with his friend, Mr. Charles Kent, the poet, to see the pro cession in St. Peter's, on the opening day of the Vatican Council. His description of it is very graphic."—Western orning "Italy has been described to the reading world again and again, and, therefore, the charm of Mr. Evill's book is not the charm of novelty, and it has a charm. There is a fresh, inge nuous manner, that appeals to the reader. The author records his impressions and describes minutely the beauty of the Italian scenery without a thought of the travellers who have gone before. Some passages, descriptive, are really excellent. The exterior and interior of Milan cathedral are put before us in glowing terms, and the long ceremonies of the opening of the (Ecumenical Council are forcibly described. 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 recollect tions."--iloyd'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.

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. 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. To enable them to continue their important work, FUNDS are earnestly solicited, and will be thankfully received by Mr. John Stabb, Hon.

They sat each day six hours, and are making steady and uniform progress in their work. The number present each day was twenty-three. William Brakey has been committed for trial by the county magistrates, charged with the wilful murder of his wife, Susan Brakey, at Burton-lane, Withingtone, on Sunday, the 2nd inst. The prisoner, addressing the magistrates, said, " I was a lunatic with drink at the time ; I remember nothing about it." The inquest held at Liverpool on the bodies of the persons killed by a recent boiler explosion terminated in a verdict against the brothers Parry, owners of the foundry where the accident occurred, for knowingly using a boiler when in a defective condition. The jury adds d a present ment to the verdict, suggesting a periodical and official inspection of all boilers in public works. Another case of rattening has occurred at Sheffield. A scissors grinder named Charles Bramley, working at Marsden's Wheel, Love-street, bad three of his wheel bands stolen between Thursday night and Fridaymorning. The cause of the outrage is alleged to be because Bramley employed a boy, contrary to the rules of the Union. Five other cases of rattening have occurred at the same " w ee ." The Princess of Wales and her children arrived at Marlborough House on Friday, from Scotland. The Prince on leaving Edinburgh on Thursday night pro ceeded to Stirlingshire on a visit to Colonel Murray. He is expected in town on Wednesday, and will remain in London till the end of the month, when he will proceed to Lord Londesborough's house, near Scarborough, for some shooting. About the beginning of November the Prince and Prin cess will g o to Sandringham. The Army and Navy Gazette regrets to learn that the predictions regarding the failure of Mr. Cardwell's Army Enlistment Act to realise the expectations of the framer and supporter are likely to be only too soon realised. The attempt to induce discharged men to join the Army Reserve has proved a lamentable failure. _,/The number of those enlisted up to the present time is under a hundred. Enlistment for the Army also is going on in a far from satisfactory manner, and of the 20,000 addi tional promised by Mr. Cardwell on the outbreak of the war, as a reinforcement of the army, comparatively few have yet been procured. The Civilian says :—" An important minute'_ has been forwarded by the Lords of the Treasury to the Com missioners of Customs, intimating that in the opinion of the former organic changes may be introduced in the warehousing and out-door departments of the Customs, with a view to arrive at greater simplicity of procedure, and secure ' more thorough efficiency and economy' in those branches of the service. The 'War Office is still troubled with rumours respecting further reductions of its establishment, probably in anticlpation of the estimates of the ensuing year. It is stated 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." In a lecture at Birmingham, the Rev, Arthur Mursell referred to the late Charles Dickens. Mr. J. S. Wright who presided, said, he was somewhat heretical in his opinions regarding Charles Dickens ; and they were some what opposed to those they would hear that night. He had derived great pleasure from the perusal of some of his works ; and the Christmas Carol and the story of Laura Bridgman had made a deeper and more lasting impression upon his mind for good than from the reading of any secular book whatever ; but still he had always felt it to be a matter of regret that Charles Dickens should , have ignored the very highest motive power to noble human action, namely, the divine life as manifested towards humanity in the person of Jesus Christ. That had always been his regret, and he could not allow that opportunity to pass without putting in that mild protest before they were carried away by the eloquent enthusiasm of his friend. Mr. Mursell began by saying that he did not come there that night to criticise Charles Dickens ; and after a strong denunciation of the criticism of the public press, he went ; on to say that his object was to pay a tribute of gratitude to a friend whose hand he never grasped, but in the presence of whose name they felt themselves led into a palace of enchantment. Criticism was too cold for his loving hero worship. Having dwelt at some length on the vast influence exercised by the writ ings of Charles Dickens in bringing about improvements in hospitals, workhouses, and courts of law, he proceeded to vindicate him from the charge of ridiculing true religion in the persons of its professors. For his own part he thanked Charles Dickens for showing up the hateful hollowness of the Stigginses and the Chadbands with whom the religious world abounded, and he left it for those who'll the cap fitted to scream out. He then passed rapidly, but graphically, in review the principal works of Dickens, and went on to contend that there was no ground for charging him with religious indifference. Citing certain characters from his works, he said that he did so to shew that Pharisees had traduced him by saying that he had no spiritual or religious sensibilities. He (Dickens) ridiculed only the para sites of religion, but never its practitioners ; and ho held that those who were jealous for the real and the true in men would be the most prompt to vindicate Charles Dickens from the charge of indifference in sacred things. He Oa Mursell) said that it was a shame to the religion of our land that noble names should be traduced because they were not connected with the tub thumping which had been identified with religion by the sects. Mr. Mursell concluded by quoting a portion of the tribute paid by Mr. Sala to the memory of Dickens, and by ex pressing his own love and admiration in still higher terms. THE TERRIBLE ACCIDENT ON THE TYNE. (CENTRAL PRESS TELEGRAM.) In addition to the brief Central Press telegraphic account of the fearful accident that happened at the ship building yard of Messrs. Mitchell and Co., the following additional particulars have come to hand. We are pleased to say that —as is often the case—the first news somewhat exaggerated the real position of things. It is now known that four men were instan taneously killed and three or four others have received such serious injuries that they are not ex pected to recover, whilst twelve are more or less injured. The vessel they were employed on at the time of the accident was one of about 1,500 tons gross tonnage, and the men we're engaged in rivetting. Conflicting state ments ale made as to the cause of the accident. The employers maintain that the workmen must have knocked several supports out, and this they say is most Strictly forbidden. Another cause assigned is, that a sewer runs underneath the place where the vessel was stationed, and the late rains are supposed to have caused the ground to give away. The vessel only moved about three feet. Great difficulty was experienced in extricating the men. About fifty men were engaged at work on the vessel. Two of those killed leave wives and children, and are young men. It was not at first ascer tainable whether all had been recovered, and a large body of men worked with spades, &c., by torchlight. The Court Newsman announces that the Queen continues to receive very favourable accounts of the Princess Louis of Hesse and her infant son. " ROYAL TOM." Sturrock's celebrated cat, " Royal Tom," was exhibited on Thursday morning at the Douglas Hotel, Edinburgh, to the Princess of Wales and the royal children. Tom's age is nine years, and he weighs no less than 22i1b. It is said thas he has long been a favourite with the reigning family, and that his carte figures in several of the royal albums.—Scotsman. THE MANSION HOUSE CAPTAIN FUND.—The Fishmongers' Company has sent a cheque for 100 guineas in aid of this fund, and subscriptions amounting to about £230 have been received at the London and Westminster Bank and its branches. These amounts, with the sum of £250 vested by the Corporation of London, make a total of £6OO standing at the credit of the Mansion House Committee. THE BRIBERY AT REIGATE.—T he Revising Barrister for Mid-Surrey held his court at Reigate, and struck off all the claims of persons that had been bribed in the borough elections. With regard to the freehold benefice question, he offered to grant the Liberals a case, but Mr. Sydney ' Smith preferred to let it be decided by the case which occurred in W est Kent, where the barrister had decided against the clergyman, and the Conservatives were going to try the question. THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES (ANIMALS) ACT, 1869. —The following is the number of foreign animals brought by sea to ports in Great Britain which, on inspection on landing, within the month of September, 1870, have been found to be affected with any contagious or infecticus disease :—From Carentan to Southampton, 28 cattle, 10 sheep ; from Honfleur to Littlehampton, 5 cattle ; from Honfleur to Southampton, 132 cattle, 27 sheep ; and from St. Malo to Southampton, 2 cattle ; total, 167 cattle, 37 sheep. All affected with the foot and mouth disease, and slaughtered by order of the Customs' authorities. THE PRINCE DE JOINVILLE AND FRENCH AFFAIRS. —The Prince de Joinville has accepted a candi dature in the Charente-Inf4rieure which was offered to 111 m. In writing to intimate his intention, he says that he is ready to undertake anything which may enable him to assist his unfortunate country. It is not his fault that he has not been allowed to fight as a soldier on the field of battle. He thinks the end which they should put before them is to form an honest Government, which, under some form or other, may secure order and liberty. He thinks the Constituent Assembly have a great work before them, and he willingly accepts the offer of becom ing one of its representatives. LOVE AND SUPPOSED SUICIDE.—At an inquest held on the body of Aun Dolan, whose body was found in the paddle-box of a steamer ' the following evidence was given :—Elizabeth Dolan said that the deceased was her daughter. She was a flower maker. Lately she had fallen in love with a young man ' named William Thornton, and he had seduced her. Her father had beaten her for being too familiar with her sweetheart. Her sweetheart had on several occasions blackened her eyes for being too familiar with other young men. She left home on Tuesday, the 27th of September, and at that time she had no marks of violence about her, and she never saw her alive afterwards. Witness heard that she was with her sweetheart the same night. William Duck stated that on the night of September 27th, ho saw the deceased sitting on a door step. She was then crying bitterly, and she said, " All my friends have left me now; I will go and drown myself." That was the last time she was seen alive. William Thornton said that he had seduced the deceased young woman. After wards he refused to marry her on account of her immoral conduct. He believed that she had been in prison three times since he seduced her. His seductiou of her might have led to her ruin. She had stabbed her sister, but as the family believed that she committed the act in a fit of desperation, they took measures to prevent a prosecution. The jury returned a verdict "That she was found drowned in the River Thames, but how she came by her death there was no evidence to prove." THE lErsu AMBULANCE CORPS."—BoIt-court, d h e r Am bulancea l Fleet-stic'eeetr,pwh Corps is er a e it t n h a e te o d ffi , NC e vm of t th e e se s e o n -c e a o ll f ed co l n ri si s excitement and confusion, in consequence of the assem lbaslintg f e eak number Franceef t h f e o r m etnh the w hopurpose had b e o e f n d s e e n m t a o n u d t . ing the return of the deposit money they had paid at c the office on being engaged. for the Ambulance Corps, the sums,snoydeeaspoessitethde v n az n yin h g ad f p r l o e m dge l d Os o . r t s o ol .Cl d ih a e n ir d whichlothe s in or other articles in order to obtain. Several of the men were accompanied by their wives and children, and. all appeared to be very destitute , and were much 'clisap pom • t an d incensed at finding the office had been closed since Monday. Some of the crowd, especially the women, were loud in their indignation, and at one time seemed inclined to take their satisfaction by smash ing the windows of the deserted premises. By the advice of several of the residents of the locality they refrained, however, from any actual violence, and after some excited discussion it was determined that application should be made to the magistrates at Guildhall for warrants against the persons who got up the scheme for obtaining money under false pretences. The parties engaged in the transaction are all well known to the police as prominent men amongst the London Fenians. THE CHRONICLE OF THE FRANCO PRUSSIAN WAR. S EE the Supplement to HAYDN'S DATES: I N Wrapper, price 28. MORON'S STANDARD READINGS. THE GALE AND LIFEBOAT SERVICES. Further accounts have been received of the destructive character of the late gale- PORTIMINLLEYN, NORTH WALES.—The lifeboat Cotton Sheppard, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, was instrumental, during the heavy gale on Thursday, in assisting to bring safely into harbour the distressed smack Hopewell, of Barmouth. The same afternoon the boat went off to , the dismasted ship Alhambra, of Liver pool, bouni from that port to New Orleans, and remained alongside her until a steam tug, which had been tele graphed for, arrived and took her to Holyhead. BROADSTAIRS.—On the Gull lightship firing signals on Friday night, the lifeboat Samuel Morrison Collins put off and found that a large light had been seen burning for three-quarters of an hour in a south-easterly direction, but no vessel in distress could be found by the lifeboat in the position indicated. _ _ BE AUMARIS. —The schooner Seven Sisters, bound to Liverpool with a cargo of copper ore and Sulphur, got ashore on the Dutchman's Bank. The Penmon lifeboat, Christoper Brown, went out to her, and with her aid and the help of a steam-tug, the vessel, which would other wise probably have been lost, was got safely into Bangor. This valuable lifeboat was presented to the Lifeboat Society about two years since, its cost having been col lected in settle, Yorkshire, and its neighbourhood, by Christopher Brown, after whom the boat is named. LAW AND. POLICE. THE COUNTRYMAN AND HIS BOOTS.—Anne Howe and Sarah Bryant were charged, at the Westminster Police-court, with unlawfully possessing a pair of boots, supposed to have been stolen. Charles Chuch, 367 B Division, said at half-past eleven last night he was on duty in Belgrave Square and saw the two prisoners together, Howe was bulky and had something under her arm ; he passed them a few paces, and on turning saw them both run away as hard as they could ; at length he caught them, and they said first that they had picked them up, and then that a man had given them to Howe to, mind, while he went somewhere with Bryant for an improper purpose. He took them both to the station and charged them. About half-past two in the morning he met a countryman, very drunk, in the same spot, and asked him if he had lost anything, and he at first said " No," but afterwards that he had lost a pair of boots, and identified them. He lived at Croydon, and was not in attendance. The prisoners made the same statement, and that a man gave Howe the boots to mind while he went with the other, and that they then both ran away with the boots. Mr. Arnold said they had no business to run away with the boots, and remanded the prisoners till Friday. WIFE BEATING.—John Miller, a boot-closer, of No. 99, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, was brought before Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough-street Police-court, charged with assaulting his wife, Harriet Miller. Mr. Moore, f the Associate Institute for Enforcing the Laws for the Protection of Women, watched the case. The com plainant, who appeared to have suffered rough usage, said that at two o'clock that morning, the prisoner, her husband, and to whom she had been married 23 years, having had nine children—came home and asked for 6d. She told him she had not got it, and ho then called her very bad names, and took up a knife and threatened to cut her head off. He had threatened her and assaulted her before. Police constable James Wright, 82 E., said that on taking the prisoner into custody he found him to be drunk, and the complainant had marks on her face. Mr. Knox committed the prisoner for two months', with hard labour. and further ordered him to find a bail in the sum of £2O to keep the peace for three months at the expiration of his term of imprisonment. A DESPERATE STREET ROBBER.-At the "uildhall, an Irishman named Maurice Goggen was charged with steal- ing a silver watch and gold chain, of the value of £2O, the property of Mr. Francis Cave, under circumstances which shewed that he was one of the most desperate class of the street robbers. On the previous evening, between seven and eight o'clock, the prosecutor was passing through Fleur-de-Lis-street, when the prisoner, emerging from one of the courts which abound in that locality, suddenly snatched at his waistcoat pocket, and rushed away with the watch and chain in his possession. The prosecutor raised a cry of " Stop thief," and Detective Ker ridge ran in pursuit, but did not succeed in capturing the prisoner until half a mile had been traversed, and not even then, until after a severe struggle, in which the accused nearly overpowered two policemen. Just before being caught prisoner also threw away a life preserver — a formidable instrument, the top of which was composed entirely of lead. The stolen property was found in his possession. On being asked if he had any defence to offer, the prisoner replied that he did not use any violence. Committed for trial. BO CK-BINK O'S H.
