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. 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. 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. " tfr. 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. Ile 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. Evil 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. Evill for his pleasant recollec tions."—Lloyd's Weekly News. " 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.

REFUGES FOR HOMELESS AND DESTI TUTE CHILDREN and CHICHEST ER TRAINING SHIP.--Upwards of 500 Boys and Girls are now being supported in these Refuges and Ship.

A meeting of the creditors of Mr. Sauluel 211,,55, of Manchester, builder, was held yesterday, when a state ment of affairs was submitted, sheaving, unsecured creditors, £1,586; secured creditors, £4,470; with only very small assets. The meeting resolved to wind-up the estate in bankrupthy. The return of the Bank of England shews the follow ing results when compared with the previous week :—An increase in circulation of £136,801; an increase in public deposits of £204,479 ; a decrease in other deposits of £388,334; a decrease in other securities of £65,707 ; a decrease in bullion of £34,196 ; a decrease in rest of £52,849 ; a decrease in reserve of £192,671.

THE TOMB OF CHARLES DICKENS.—The inscrip tion engraved on the tomb of Charles Dickens in West minster Abbey has lately been exposed to the view of the public. It consists only of the few plain and simple words which he desired in his will to mark his grave : Charles Dickens, born February 7, 1812; died the 9th of June, 1870." The letters are of brass, and are sunk into the stone. The faded wreaths and • chaplets which were placed upon the novelist's grave have now been re moved. FATAL ACCIDENT TO RUSSIAN SEAMEN.—On Monday, as six seamen were at work at the dry dock of the Thames Iron Shipbuilding Company, an accident occurred, which resulted in the death of two of them. ' The men were on a stage scraping the sides of the screw steamship A ksay, the property of the Russian Steam Navigation Company, when, through undue pressure being put on one side of the stage, a rope broke and the men were hurled to the bottom of the dock, a distance of 25 feet. The second boatswain, named Filon Justchinko, was killed on the spot; one of the seamen died at Poplar Hospital on Wednesday morning, and a third now lies in a critical state. Mr. C. C. Lewis held an inquest at the Essex Arms, North Woolwich-road, on Wednesday after noon, when the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death." MARKETS. MANCHESTER CORN MARKET, THURSDAY.

MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT, THURSDAY.—The tone of our market continues quiet to-day, and without any increase of business, and the daily transactions are still quite unimportant. The prices, which have remained remarkably steady in the face of extreme absence of demand, are now beginning to show sign of giving way, in sympathy, no doubt, with increasing weakness in the cotton market, caused by heavy receipts at the Ameri c m port simultaneously with large imports at Liverpool. The prices are in the buyers' favour. BRADFORD TRADE REPORT, TRIIRSDAY.—The gloom occasioned by the Russian difficulty has been lifted somewhat ; and hopes are entertained that the Franco-German war may be near its close. The feeling in commercial circles here is con sequently brighter. Wool meets a somewhat better inquiry, and more has changed hands during the present week. Staplers hold out for full rates, which they obtain more easily, qut do not attempt to make an advance. Cape Botany wools since the firmer close of the London sales are very strong, and must be quoted dearer. Good Leicester wether, Lincoln hogs, and wools of similar description are most in favour. Export merchants are more willing to purchase, and inquire freely for twofold forties and single thirties. Prices are, however, against thew, and being unwilling to give an advance, business is hin dered. For manufactured goods a little more business offers for Germany, otherwise no change. BIRMINGHAM IRON TRADE, THURSDAY.—At the meeting of the ironmasters here to-day, the reports were of a more cheerful kind. The probable peaceful solution of the Eastern difficulty has given a strong fillip to trade. Orders, however, are given sparcely, and only for immediate wants. Pigs are in 1 etter demand. Stocks are gradually increasing, and prices are slightly lower than than they were a few weeks ago. In finished iron of all kinds very little is being done.

Prices were in favour of se lers. CORK BUTTER MARKET, THURSDAY. —Ordinary firsts, 1355; seconds, 128 s. ; thirds, 1165.; fourths, 110 s. ; fifths, 945. 1,300 firkins in the market. Mild cured—firsts, 140 s. ; seconds, 1308.; thirds, 1175. 80 firkins in the market. Private advices from St. Petersburg represent the anti-English feeling in that capital to be very strong. It is said that all classes are smitten with the war fever, and that even old English residents have deemed it prudent to absent themselves from general society. The elementary Education Act was on Wednesda y taken into consideration at a county meeting at Cardiff, convened by the Bishop of Llandaff. The meeting was as numerously and influentially attended as that which was held at Newport last week.
