A WINTER JOURNEY TO ROME 'vomit AN ACCOUNT OF THE OPENING OF TIIE 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, 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 rote, 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 sup'erfluous. To gain knowledge is not the only , object which induces a man or woman to take alia 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. . book has the merit of being thoroughly,readable."—Fall Mall Gazette. - • • -• " Having read the book thtough from cover to cover—of itself an eulogiwn from any reviewer—we could certainly not spare Mr. Evill's alvirays 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 dglineator of the superb scenery and the renbwned cities through which he made this winter journey,' he :has acquitted himself admirably well."—Sun. " The author has evidently a feeling for the beautiful*. aid 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 desbriptions 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. " Ur. 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 *ell 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 ico 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 chasm of Mr. Evill's book is not the alarm of novelty, W. 4 pas'a charm. There is a fresh, Inge nuous manner, that af)Peals to the reader. The author fecZfrds 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 glowin ,,, 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 year . . The profits are to be given to a charity, and we heart il y wis h 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.

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 tog:cher 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.

H OMELESS ,BOYS OF LONDON REFUGES FOR HOMELESS AND DESTITUTE CHILDREN and CHICHESTER TRAINING SHlP.—Upwards of 500 Boys and Girls are now being supported in these Refuges and Ship., Owing to the benevolent and praiseworthy exertions which have for several months been made to aid the sick and Wounded in the present War, the funds for the support of these Refuges and Ship have decreased considerably. An urgent appeal is therefore made for assistance to support the inmates. £l5 will keep a boy or a girl for one year, and 65. for a month.

MR GLA.DSTONE'S SCHOOLFELLOW. The Liverpool Mercury says the Ormskirk Guardians have just granted the workhouse porter, Luke lerner, a week's holiday. The fact , is-: that Mr. . Hemer, notwithstanding his humble posi tion, is going to spend a few hours at Hawarden with no less a personage' emu the Premier. Luke and Mr. Gladstone were schoolfellows together, and, although they now stand so far apart in the social scale, Luke every year pays a short visit to the right honourable gentle- MORTALITY IN THE PEERAGE. The mortality in the ranks of the peerage during 1870 has been considerably less than in the course of last year, when the deaths of 32 lords spiritual and temporal were recorded. This year one bishop and 18 temporal peers have died, as follows :—The Earl of Onslow, 93 years of age ; the Bishop of Chichester, 84 ; the Marquis of Headford, 83 ; the Earl: of - Itedeii, 81 ; the Marquis of Chohnon deley, 78 ; Earl Howe, , 74 ; Lord Tenterden, 74 ; Viscount Midleton, 72 ; the Earl.if Clarendon, 70 ; Lord Auckland, 70; the Marquis of Hertford, 70; Lord Henniker, 69 ; the Earl of Haddington, 68-; Lord Hawke, 67; the Marquis -of Ailsa, 54 ; Lord Byron, 52 ; Lord Willoughby . d'Eresby, 48 ; the Marquis of Lothian, 38 ; the Earl of Aberdeen, 28. It will be Seen that both the hereditary Grand Chamberlains of England, the Marquis of, Cholmondeley and Lord Willoughby caresby, have been removed by death. The title of the latter peer is at present in abeyance, while the successors to the earldom of Onslow and the barony of Byron are minors. Scotchman, Mr. Toomas M'Pherson, has been elected Mayor of Melbourne. A committee has been appointed, with Captain Beaumont, ILE., M.P. ' as president, and. Lieutenant Grove, RE., and .Mr. Abel, F.R.S., as members, to carry out experiments on thp ,utilization balloons for reconnoitring purposes. The former experiments on this subject, which were carried out at Woolwich and else where a few years ago, were not attended with any useful results, and we beli6ve the attempts, which have been made during the present war to reconnoitre with balloons—an application not to be confused with the use of ballo - ons for postal purposes—have not been more satis factory. HUNTING keqEDENT.—During the past few. days Mr. Henry Tory, of Newton-farm, in Dorsetshire, has been lying in a dangerous condition from the effects of an accident a few days ago, while out with the East Dorset hounds. The meet was at Critchell. Mr. Tory's horse, on passing by Dean-court-farm, in, the parish of Witch ampton, fell at a gate, and the rider was pitched on his head; he was found in a pool of blood, covered with dirt. Besidas severe injury to his head, two of his ribs were broken. CROPS WITHOUT MANURE.—What will our great seedsmen, our manure manufacturers, and sewage farmers say to this? A Norfolk farmer, whose modesty prefers that his name should not be blarmed before the public, though his credit as an excellent manager is well known beyond the limits of his own county, has this year grown 76 tons, good weight, per acre of yellow globe mangolds, without any artificial manure, and the seed of his own growth and selection. This farmer has grown seeds, for his own use only, for the last forty years, and no doubt the present stock has been very carefully selected. The pecu liarity in the case is that no artificial manure whatever was applied, and only about ten two-horse cartloads per acre of good farmyard dung. The seed was drilled, 6th. or 71b. per acre ; the plants were singled out by children, without the hoe being previously used to gap the rows, and the land was kept clear of annual weeds by hand hoeing. The soil is a black fen peat earth that has been recently clayed.—Chamber of Agriculture Journal.. - LORD •EDMOND FIT7,3IAURICR, M.P., AND HIS CONSTITUENTS.—HiS lordship met his constituents on Wed nesday evening ; the Mayor in the chair. The Town Hall of Calne was filled from end to end. After reviewing the changes on the Continent, and justifying his change of sympathies from Prussia to France, the noble lord, in speaking of home politics, hoped in the next session to pass the Tests Abolition Act, a useful Trades Union Bill, the Parliamentary Elections Bill, and the Licensing Bill. All of these would have his vote and earnest aid. His lordship further said th it he should vote for Mr. Miall's motion for the disestablishment of the English Church. He believed the days of Church Establishments were numbered ; the English clergy, however, deserved all praise, and he hoped Mr. Miall would bring forward the question in an unsectarian spirit. As to again opening the Education question, although he was a member of the Education League, he should oppose opening the question until the present measure had had a fair trail. His lord ship, alluding to Mr. Gladstone's turning to his enemies rather than his friends, hoped that the Liberal Ministry would neither coquet with Conservatives nor with the Roman Catholic party in Ireland. He also trusted that Mr. Stansfeld would succeed to office, and that Mr. Fortescue would not betray the party in the matter of primary education in Ireland. A vote of confidence was passed most cordially, on the motion of Mr. Dowding. FARMING IN VAN DIEMAN'S LAND.—I have been down to the north coast of the island, through a country which I have never before visited. I had a very pleasant irii),73a;;great deal, made myself master of the mystery of cheese-making, which, just at present, is a most pro fitable part of a farmer's business, looked into sundry establishments newly commenced for working coal, saw ing timber, &c., and rode back at the end of the week. The country through which I have been is peculiarly favour- ! able to the dairy farmer; the ground is very rich, and as soon as it is cleared, there is a spontaneous growths of white clover, so that after the crop of corn is harvested there is clover sufficient to feed cattle of every kind ; and this • food comes in at the worst time of the year, when all other grass is burnt up. Then, again, the prices which are paid for cheese and butter shame our English ideas. The gentleman with whom I was staying sells his cheese wholesale, as soon as it is fit to move, at thirteen pence per pound ; and a cow, only an ordinary milker, should make two pounds of cheese per day, or return 2s. 2d. per day for about 200 days during the year. Butter is not so profitable, for on an average it takes four gallons of milk to make a pound of butter, which sells by wholesale in casks, slightly salted, for ls. 6d. per lb. The immense immigration into Mel bourne is at the bottom of these high prices, which will not, of course, last very long. The profit to be made by dairy farming will soon lead other people to compete for ' their'share, and, just as the gold mania is ceasing, as the amount of the attraction to these colonies is lessened, the supply of every kind of produce will be enhanced five or ten fold. Prices will then fall ; many who have borrowed money or purchased land, under the idea that the present state of things will last for an indefinite time, will be ruined, and we shall have the usual period of depression. As Port Philip was the proximate cause of our former distress, so it will be now. The gold is producing very much the same effect as the demand for sheep and cattle did ten years since. The price of every article is enhanced to an unnatural extent, and I see, even now, traces of a disposition to consider these prices as permanent, and to calculate the returns from a property accordingly ; so that the prices which are paid are not such as would be warranted by the ordinary market value of agricultural produce, but by such as a sanguine mind calculates on realising. In the meantime, however, we are benefiting greatly, in several respects, by the overflow of gold, and I look forward to the investment of large amounts in land in this colony. The greater part of the land through which I rode had been taken up within the last 12 months, since the promulgation of the new regulations, and more land has been purchased or taken for purchase in the last 12 months than has been sold by the Government during the previous 12 years.—Sir W. benison's Varitries of Viceregal Life.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY.-A steady feeling prevailed in the Corn Exchange to-day, which may be expected during the continuance of the cold weather. The business transacted was on a more liberal scale, and prices throughout had a strong upward tendency. There was a short supply of English wheat on sale, which sold steadily, at fully previous currencies. Foreign wheat, the supply of which was somewhat limited, experienced a fair demand, at firm quotations. There was a good show of barley on the stands. Malting parcels sold cautiously, at late rates. Grinding qualities, were purchased freely, at prices tending upwards. The malt trade was depressed, and prices were unchanged. There were large arrivals of oats on offer. The inquiry was moderately active, at fully Wednesday's advance of 6d. per quarter. Beans, peas, and maize met with a steady sale, at extreme values. Flour was in more active request, and prices were firmly supported. Arrivals :-English and Scotch: Wheat, 290 ; barley, 2,690 ; malt, 440 ; oats, 100.
