The distinguished architect is now thought to be daily improving in strength. _ _ Baron Antrim has had a violent quarrel with the Italian authorities on account of the detention of a letter addressed to him in the Pontifical States, which the post office, regarding it as a challenge, would not deliver. The Baron says he is accredited to the Sovereign of the Ponti fical States, and will not recognise their existence until he receives orders from his own Government. INDIAN ANTIQUITIES.—GeneraI Cunningham, late of the Bombay Engineers, has been appointed Surveyor- Gen eral of the Archaeological Survey of India, with orders to proceed to India immediately and organise on an ex tended scale the operations for the preservation of Indian architecture, which have been already Po successfully initiated by the Government of India. General George Washington Custis Lee, the second son of the late General Robert E. Lee, has been elected to succeed his father as the President of Wash ington College, Lexington, Virginia. The Board of Trustees have also determined to change the name of the institution to the " Washington-Lee University." General Lee's family have reconsidered their determination to per mit the Virginia Legislature to remove his remains to Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, and they are to con tinue where they are in the chapel of the University, a building designed and erected by Lee himself. LORD IL LENNOX AND THE EASTERN QUESTION. —Lord H. Lennox, M.P., responding to the toast of his health at the annual dinner of the Chichester Conserva tive Association, characterised the Russian circular as the most pretentious document that had ever emanated from a great Power. He hinted that the King of Prussia was privy to the course taken by Prince Gortschakoff ; and urged that this should be ascertained without the least loss of time—" because," added the hon. member, " if he was, let us go to war at once, while he had France on his hands ; and not waste time in diplo macy, to allow him to settle his differences with France, and then bring his forces to bear on Austria, one of our allies." DOUBLE PLOUGHING ON THE LINCOLNSHIRE WOLDS. —An interesting and spirited match came off last week at Caistor, in North Lincolnshire. The Caiitor Society is one of the oldest and most important in the County, and is greatly inspired by the energy and activity of the celebrated shorthorn breeder, Mr. Torr, of Aylesby Manor. The dynamometrical experiments were under the management of Mr. Amos, engineer to the Royal Agricultural Society of England, the results proving Howard's new implement to be ninety-seven pounds lighter draught than the ploughs which drew lightest at the Alford trials last week, and the j udges awarded the prize to the Bedford firm., During the trials the judges tested the draught of an ordinary single plough with the competing double implements, and, according to Mr. Amos, this experiment chewed the winning double plough to effect no less a saving of horse power than 27; per cent. SUSPECTED PERSONS. —John Field, traveller, John Wilson, betting man, and Emma Jones, an unfortunate. were brought before Mr. Knox, at Marlborough-street Police-court, charged with loitering as suspected persons. Mr. J. A. Alsop appeared for Wilson and Field. From the evidence of Detective P. Shrives, of the C division, it appeared that he saw the prisoner Jones accost gentle men, and the male prisoners waiting for her, and then joining her again. After watching the prisoners for some time, he saw the prisoner Jones go into a public-house with a man, and afterwards leave with him. The man then left and the male prisoners joined, and he then thought he saw her pass something to one of the men, and with assistance took the prisoners into custody. Mr. Knox asked the officer if the prisoners were known. The officer said he had known Wilson for some time to be in the habit of following women about, and knew him to be an associate of persons he and Butcher had had at that court. Detective Charles Butcher gave similar evidence. Detective Pickels said he had known Wilson for two years by the name of Jackson, in the neighbourhood of the Haymarket. He knew him to be a companion of tones, and he believed Jones had been convicted ; and Jones was described in the police informal ions as being wanted for stealing a canvas bag containing £9 from a brewer's clerk. In reply to Mr. Alsop, the witness said he was not making a mistake when he said Wilson was also Jackson. Shrives said that on searching Field a purse, containing £l5 10s., was found on him. Mr. Alsop addressed the magistrate on behalf of Field, contending that he was a respectable man, only just from the country, and not known to the police ; and on behalf of Wilson, said the constable was mistaken in supposing him to be the man Jackson or an associate of thieves. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners, offering to take bail for Field. BEAR BAITING AT KINGSTON FAIR.—Carl and Otto Hermann, itinerant showmen, appeared at Kngston Petty Sessions yesterday, on a warrant, at the instance of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to animals, who charged them with " using and acting in the manage ment of a place kept for the purpose of baiting a bear,' and Frances Hermann was also charged on a warrant with keeping the said place, she having been the money taker on the occasion of the offence. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoners, who are Germans, had, on the 15th inst., at the Fairfield, an exhibition of dbgs, monkeys, wolves, and a bear, to which 2d. was charged for admission. The wolves were battered by the prisoners on the head with iron bars and wooden staves, and felled to the ground, and when thus cowed Carl Hermann fed them with raw meat, and afterwards placed his head in their mouths, but not without the precaution of bending over the joint above their front paw, so as to cause ex quisite torture. Further violence was offered to make them snarl and appear ferocious. The bear was struck on, the paws and head until he roared with pain. By this means a full house was attracted, when the doors were closed, and the bear commenced to perform. Ultimately the bear, which by some means has been blinded, and is therefore defenceless to a great degree, was induced to stand on his hind quarters, when Carl Hermann rushed at him, and by the concussion of his entire weight, threw the poor animal violently on its back. Before it could rise he jumped several times upon its stomach, and when it was thus deprived of breath he lay upon the animal, to show the triumph of his skill and courage. During this performance the animal cried out bitterly from the pain inflicted ; and for more than half an hour the poor beast was cruelly beaten, and alternately incited to anger and fear. Mr. Colam, the, secretary of the society, pointed out the recent decison of Mr. Cooke On a similar prosecution against Spaniards for bull baiting at the Agricultural Hall, and contended that it was not necessary to show that dogs had been used for baiting nor that blood had been drawn ; if it could be proved that the animals were infuriated, provoked, and terrorised, which was baiting: The Chairman fined the prisoners 40s. each. The money was paid. THE QUESTION OF ALIMONY IN DIVORCE CASES.—In the divorce case of " Graconetti v. Graconetti," which was a husband's petition for a restitution of congugal rights, Dr. Spinks, Q►.C., said it was one of those cases where it become a question if the court should not have the power to allot alimony out of the wife's income. The legislature had admitted the principle of the thing by ordering under, the Married Woman's Property Act, a wife to support her husband if he became a pauper. In the present case the petitioner, who was a captain in the Austrian navy, was persuaded by his wife to give up his appointment, and consequently was now without means. His lordship granted a decree, ordering the respondent to return to her husband. THE BANKRUPTCY OF THE O'DONOGHUE.—III the Bank ruptcy Court, Lincoln's-Inn, a public examination in the case of The O'Donoghue was held before the Hon. Mr. Spring Rice. Mr. Lawience, who represented the trustees, stated that since the last sitting a meeting of the creditors had been held, with the view of receiving a proposal for a compromise, and annulling the bankruptcy. In conse quence of the involuntary absence of The O'Donoghue, however, no resolution was arrived at, and he now pro posed an adjournment until Hilary Term, so that another meeting might be held, the creditors having no doubt whatever that the bankrupt would offer such an arrange ment as would render further proceedings unnecessary. Mr. Valiance appeared for the bankrupt, and assented to the proposition, and the Registrar thereupon fixed the next meeting for the 14th January. THE BRIGHTON RITUAL CASE.—The hearin o g of the case Hebbert • v. Purchas, was resumed on Saturday. The Lord Chancellor, Lord Chelms ford, the Archbishop of York, and the Bishop of London were present in the court. Mr. Stephens pro ceeded with his argument on behalf of the appellant.

A WINTER JOURNEY TO ROME AND BACK, WITH AN ACCOUNT OF THE OPENING OP 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, 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. Evil'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 de.lineator 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.

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 formibly described.

" It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species, and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth, with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain many rare specimens."—Standard. "The completion of Mr. Newman' work on the British Moths is a benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a high authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste fnlly got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years' earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento mologist deservedly stands high. . . . We notice also with satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English. With the help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour to render them life-like. . . . . We unhesitatingly commend this volume to our readers.

In the action for breach of promise of marriage which Miss Clarkson, who obtained from the jury a verdict for £750, brought against Mr. Eisenburg, an application was made to the Court of Queen's Bench for a new trial, with a view to reduce the damages. The chief topic relied upon in mitigation was that the letters of the lady shewed that there was no great wound to the feelings. The Court took that view, and suggested a reduction of the damages to £5OO, which being agreed to the rule was discharged. In the Bail Court the case of Middleton v. M`Graw was heard. The defendant pleaded the usual pleas. The plaintiff was a woman about 37 years of age, and the daughter of a travelling marionette theatre proprietor. The defendant was a widower with several children. He was between 50 and 60 years of age, and superin tendent of the Maidenhead police.—The plaintiff's case was that when they were performing at Maidenhead the defendant became enamoured of her on account of her great likeness to his late wife and he made her an offer, which she accepted. Things went on satisfactorily for some time, the defendant visit ing the plaintiff at Slough, Twickenham, and other places. At the latter place the daughter came with him, and in the course of the visit plaintiff expressed her sus; picion that the defendant was given to intoxication. After their return home plaintiff received a letter from the daughter complaining of the charge she had brought against her father, and intimating that the match would be broken off ; and in fact the plaintiff heard no more from the defendant. In September last the defendant married a widow with nine children who at the time of the marriage carried on the business of a gun smith. In cross-examination the plaintiff stated the defen dant gave her a wedding ring, but she denied that she stipulated he should not be out after nine o'clock at night after they were married, or any other stipulation of any kind. For the defence it was contended that plaintiff had exonerated the defendant from his promise by the extraordinary stipulations she endeavoured to force, viz., that he should not be out after nine o'clock at night ; that he should settle all his furniture on her ; that he should send his grandchild, who was living with him, home to her parents; that he should. Place his imbecile child in an asylum, and that his daughter should go out to service. In the course of the defendant's case it transpired that the family of defen dant ndmbered fifteen children, and that his income was 30s. per week. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, £2O. The death is announced of Sir James Clerk, Bart., at the age of 58. He was born in 1812, and was Captain- Commandant of the 3rd Mid-Lothian Rifles. He was married, in 1851, to a daughter of Major-General M. Henderson, C.B. THE STAR AND GARTER HOTEL COMPANY.—The Master of the Rolls had before him a petition by a share holder and creditors for an order to wind up this company compulsorily. The case was adjourned till Friday next to afford an opportunity to the shareholders to hold a meeting for the purpose of adopting a resolution as to the best mode of winding up the company's affairs. Sir R. Baggallay, Mr. Jessel, and Mr. Dryden were counsel in the case. The result of the recent examination of law students is announced. The Council of Legal Education have awarded to Mr. J. G. Cockin, Lincoln's-inn, a stu dentship of 50 guineas per annum for three years ; to Mr. S. W. Brice, Inner Temple, an exhibition of 25 guineas per annum for three years ; to Mr. W. B. Rowlands, Gray's-inn, a certificate of honour of the first class ; and ordinary certificates to a number of others. The Saturday Review thinks Earl Granville has accu rately represented the wishes of the nation. If Russia can fairly ask for a modification of the Treaty of Paris, by all means let us do all in our power to meet her legiti mate demands. Let us honestly examine every fact, and do justice to the spirit and self-respect of a great nation. Let us not bring on war simply by asserting that we aro ready for war. If Russia is willing now to withdraw from ber pretensions, every one here would wish that she should see a loophole of escape for doing so. We have no wish for a war with Russia. We abhor all war ; we wish Russia'to become great and rich and free ; to aid us in the civilization of Asia, to have her fair share of power in the world. There was never, even during the Crimean War, any real animosity on the part of England towards Russia. We have lent her vast sums of money; we are interested in her commerce ; we prosper through her prosperity. It will only be through such a provocation as Prince Gortschakoff has offered that England could be made to go to war with Russia. But if Russia is bent at all hazards on driving England to war, she will find England perfectly alive to what her honour demands. It has been said that England ought to have protected France against Germany, because France was England' ally in the Crimean War. This view is, we think, alto gether unsound. If France, in a matter totally uncon nected with the Crimean War, chooses to play the part of a wanton aggressor, she must alone bear the penalty, as she alone hoped to reap the profit of her misconduct. But when Russia claims the right to set aside the Treaty of Paris, and to make the efforts of England and France alike barren and null, then England has to think of her old ally. We owe it to France not to suffer the slightest infraction of the Treaty of Paris until she as well as our selves is in a position to consider, in a . manner worthy of her, what new arrangement shall be made. France is powerless now, but we are not ; and we must do all we can for France, no less than for ourselves, in combating these novel pretensions of Russia. The first thing we have got to do, if we can, is to ensure that Russia shall withdraw her preposterous claim to decide for herself when she shall pronounce a treaty, concluded by all the Great Powers, no longer binding on her. The next thing we have to do is to let her understand that, although we, for our part, shall be quite ready to discuss at a convenient time what modifica tions should be made in the Treaty of Paris to meet the legitimate demands of Russia, we will not listen to any proposal for discussing such modifications until France can join in the discussion. Adhering firmly to these two bases of our conduct, we shall either maintain peace with. honour, or enter on war with an absolute conviction of being wholly in the right ; and we are glad to say that everything she ws that Lord Granville may be trusted to adhere to them as firmly as we could wish. THE RUSSIAN NOTE The Spectator says it is a tremendous If, this,—lf Count Bismarck is behind all this, and his mighty arm is going,— as in the childish game of the Dumb Orator,—to beat time by rhetorical gesture' to the otherwise not very startling threats of Prince Gortschakoff,—lf that be so, what ought England to do then? Nor is this "if" by any means a mere dream of panic-stricken politicians. The Pall Mall of Thursday has drawn attention to the fact that the Note of Prince Gortschakoff is dated (allowing for the difference of styles) immediately after the news of the surrender of Metz became known in St. Petersburg, which looks very much as if Russia had waited till she thought the German triumph assured, for making her move. Now, had there been no understanding with Prussia, Russia would have acted, if at all, while she thought the hands of North Germany were too full for interference, not on what seemed like the eve of her complete victory. We can only strike effec tually at Germany by aiding France. Through the co-operation of France we could at the same time prevent a great wrong, and bring both Germany and Russia to their senses twice as soon as by any other policy. If Russia be really relying on Germany for aid, she will not dare to go on without the help of the Ger man arm, and that arm once paralysed, Russia would probably draw back fast enough. We say, then, without hesitation, that if Count Bismarck has authorised Russia to break the. Treaty of 1856, in this high-handed manner, and has in consequence broken it quite as flagrantly himself, our first duty would be to co-operate, and co operate by arms, with France against the invaders. We have written wholly upon an " It"— an If, which, we heartily trust will turn out to have introduced a mere counterfeit to our notice. For Germany and German statesmen we have nothing but good-will, if they would but inaugurate at once that great pacific career of which they talk so much. But "if " it be otherwise, if they are pulling the strings of the Russian diplomacy now,—then the sooner and the more vigorously we assail this dangerous attempt to impose an intolerable dictation upon Europe, the better both for Europe and for ourselves. The Economist quotes the second article of the Treaty of Paris, which says :—" Any infraction of the stipula tions of the said Treaty will be considered by the parties signing the present Treaty as a casus hill,. They will come to an understanding with the Sublime Porte as to the measures which have become necessary, and will, without delay, determine among themselves as to the employment of their military and naval forces." Now, unless treaties are waste paper, these words must be construed according to their plain meeting, and we must be prepared to act upon that meaning. No one can be more pacific than we are. Very few people can care less for Turkey or hope leas from her. One of •the first merchants in the City of London—a member of one of its very greatest houses—said at Bristol that he thought " the Crimean war a gigantic mistake." And for this purpose we are quite ready to concede that it was so. But here is the Treaty that ended the Crimean war ; here is a recent, clear, direct, explicit contract which we made then. If any words are to mean anything, we must make these mean something, if any nation is ever to rely on any other nation again. We must not, however we may dislike it, show that we are unworthy of reliance now. There is a notion that England cannot, if it would, do anything. And it is quite true that we are not a military Power, like France or Germany. We have not a vast system of compulsory service, arid it would be very cult for us to have any. But in the present case, England can do all that is wanted. Russia wants to make a new arsenal in the Black Sea, and to keep ships of war there; but a very few ironclads can prevent this arsenal from being made, and can destroy any ships of war that may appear. No peace can be permanently promoted, nor any real good gained, by shrinking from promises such as these. The plain policy of England is, that she is ready to revise the Treaty of 1856 ; that she is ready to consider the change of circumstances since it was made; but that while it is in force it must be kept, and that though we, or some of us, may regret our promises, yet, especially when they are explicit and recent, we will to a certainty fulfil them, and abide by them. The Midland Railway Company for some time past have been making arrangements to carry out over the whole of these lines the block telegraph system. Snider breeach-loading rifles have been served out to the 7th Surrey Rifles (Colonel Beresford). taking rank as second in efficiency of all the metropolitan corps, pre ceded only by the 48th Middlesex, or Post-office Rifles, who were the recipients of the first issue. The new weapons were distributed the other day among the mem bers of the 3rd Battalion of Renfrewshire (Barrhead) and two Glasgow battalions of rifle volunteers. FATAL ACCIDENT.—TWO LADS DROWNED.----OR Friday morning, about nine o'clock, two young men, named Thomas Breeze and Charles Davis, employed as ironworkers, aged 16 and 14 years respectively, were drowned in a pond at the foot of Joseph-street, Stockton-on-Tees. Davis and a youngei brother of Thomas Breeze had gone on the frozen pond, when it broke in, and they were immersed. Breeze managed to keep himself up with the ice, and his brother Thomas, thinking he could rescue him, went to his assistance, when the ice gave way, and he was drowned. A man named Coultas managed to save the younger Breeze, but Davis shared the same fate as the elder brother of Breeze. The bodies were soon re covered, but life was extinct. TWO GRAVEDIGGERS BURIED ALIVE.-011 Friday an inquest was held at the Black Bull Inn, Heywood, before Mr. Molesworth, touching the death of James Pollitt, aged 59, a gravedigger in the employment of the Heywood Cemetery Board, who was suffoc a t e d on th e p r evious day in a grave. Wright Slater, a gravedigger, stated that he and deceased were engaged on Thursday afternoon opening a grave in the Heywood Cemetery. The grave was 12 feet deep, and the earth on each side was kept up with planks and stays. While they were engaged inmoving some of the stays to make room for the coffin, the other stays gave way, they were caught between the planks, and the earth from the side of the grave fell in upon them. An hour and a-half elapsed before witness was extricated, and half an hour afterwards James Pollitt was got out quite dead. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidentally killed."
