Now Published, A WINTER JOURNEY TO ROME AND BACK, WITEt AN AOCOUNT OF THE OPENING OF TIIE (ECUMENICAL COUNCIL, AND GLANDES 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. 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 amonthe Palaces and Basilicas. . . . As a graphic delineator of the super scenery and the renowned cities through which he made this winter journey, he has acquitted himself admirably well " 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 at 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 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 urns( 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. "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 whioh 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 shook the better feelings, of a Liberal Protestant." — Illustrated London News. Best Advertising Paper in the Western Counties.

Foci AT BILISTOL.—The Antona, steamer, bound from Bristol for Liverpool, in going out of the river on Saturday night, in consequence of the fog got ashore on the Dumball, where she still remains. . The Melbourne Aly/US states that an important in vention has been submitted to the Victorian Government and is under consideration by a board. Captain W. H. Fitzgerald has taken steps to patent a new gun and gun carriage and an engine of the mitrailleuse sort called " The Annihilator," which will enable a few men to main tain a discharge equal to a whole army. MitssAGEs FROM THE SEA.—TWO bottles, strung together and securely sealed, have been washed on to the beach at Hayle; Cornwall, one of them containing three letters directed to Hamburg and two sixpences to defray the cost of postage. The other bottle contains a pint of rum to recompense the finder for his trouble in posting the letters, which are from the Danish brig Anne Georgiana, bound to La Guayra. RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR LEAMINGTON.—Au accident happened to the Great Western third-class train froM Paddington to Liverpool on Saturday afternoon, near Leamington. The connecting rod of the engine broke, and ran into the lower part of the boiler. The engine was thrown off the rails, but the passengers felt no shock, and did not know that any accident had oc curred until the train gradually stopped. The line was blo6ked for hours, and the traffic was greatly delayed in consequence. DEATH FROM COLD IN A HANSOM CAB.-00 Saturday Mr. Richards held an inquest at the Earl of Aberdeen Tavern, Old Ford-road, London, touching the death of Mr. Samuel Gerrish, aged thirty-seven years. The deceasetwa,s a master butcher, carrying on business at 42, Roman-road, Old Ford, and at three o'clock on Thursday morning he set out in a hansom cab for the purpose of purchasing meat for Christmas customers. While on the way the unfortunate man fell back and died in the cab, the excessive cold having acted fatally on a diseased heart. The driver of the vehicle conveyed the corpse back to the dead man's house, where a very painful scene ensued when the widow saw it. The jury, idler hearing the medical evidence, returned a verdict of death froM the excessive cold. _ _ _ MANCHESTER FAILURES. The Manchester Examiner states that a meeting of the creditors of Mr. Marcus Bebro, general merchant, 63, King-street, and Stationers'-court, Manchester, was held on Friday, at the' offices of Messrs. Edwin Storer and Co., solicitors, Fountain-street, Manchester. The lia bilities were stated to be under £4,000. It was unani mously resolved to accept the offer of 20s. in the pound, with interest at 5 per cent., payable in twelve months. The creditors of Messrs. Thomas and William Bestwick, trading as William Bestwick, smallware manufacturers, Manchester and Salford, held a meeting the same day, at the Clarence Hotel. A statement of affairs, prepared by Mr. J. K. Lawton, accountant, Chancery-place, shewed total liabilities £17,917 15s. 6d., and assets £12,711 15s. 11d. It was resolved to accept the offer of 10s. in the pound, payable in two instalments of ss. at three and six months. ABANDONMENT OF THE LAND 0' CAKES.—iDtei gence reached Liverpool on Saturday, by cable from New York, of the abandonment of the well-known ship Land o' Cakes, bound from Ardrossan for Boston with pig iron. She left Ardrossan on the 10th of November last, but put into Kingstown, leaky, on the 12th, was repaired there, and proceeded to sea in good order. Sh e must, however, have met with subsequent disaster, as the telegram states she was abandoned in a sinking condition. The Lank o' Cakes was a vessel of 561 tons register, built in Grangemouth, by Adamson, in 1847, and though registered as the pro perty of Messrs. Carrill and Co., of Liverpool, we have reason to believe that she was sold_ shortly before leaving on her late disastrous voyage, to Messrs. Stewart and Co., of Glasgow. As we write we are told that she was again sold to Guy, of Newry. She had undergone considerable repairs in 1867 and this year, and was " continued" in Lloyd's book. NEWSPAPERS FOR PLACES ABROAD.—The regu lations relating to the registration of publications for transmission abroad at the newspaper rates have been re vised ; and, commencing with the Ist January' next, only those publications which have been accepted for regis tration at the General Post Office under the revised con ditions will have the privilege of being forwarded at those rates. Publications not on the revised register at the General Post Office, such as magazines . , private trade lists, and catalogues, cannot after the 31st instant be sent abroad at rates lower than those applicable to book packets ; it will, therefore, be incumbent on those who desire to transmit any periodical publications to foreign parts as newspapers to satisfy themselves in the first in stance that such publications have been duly registered. In any -case of doubt, application can be made at the General Post Office. Newspapers sent abroad must, from and after the 31st instant, be posted within eight days from the date of publication, including the day of such publication. IRISH LEGAL APPOINTMENTS VACANT.—The vacancy in the chairmanship of the County Monaghan has not yet been filled up, but an appointment will be made in a day or two. It is probable that some changes will be made in the present arrangements, the effect of which will be to leave a third-class county vacant. The programme which seems most desirable is to transfer Mr. Barron from Kerry to Monaghan, and to pro mote the chairman of a second-class county, Mr. Hemphill, Q.C., and Mr. Blake , Q.C., are the most eligible—and to advance the chairman of a third-class county to the vacancy so created. Mr. O'Hagan, Q.C., or Mr. Neligan, Q.C., would probably be chosen. Both are able, but the former has the strong claim of seniority as well as extensive experience as a practitioner. Mr. Barron is one of the oldest chairmen in the country, and it would be only a fair and considerate act to allow him to exchange the duties of his present county, which are very onerous, for those of Monaghan, which are comparatively light. CABINET CHANGES —The Observer believes that no decision will be arrived at as to any change in the coin position of the Cabinet which may be necessary in conse quence of Mr. Bright's resignation, till after the Christ mas holidays are over. Though the resignation of Mr. Bright is deeply regretted, it cannot, the Observer re marks, have been unexpected. A Cabinet Minister has an onerous, direct, and personal responsibility. No doubt the right lion. gentleman agrees with the policy of his colleagues, and, indeed, lie has said so in his letter of resignation ; but it is the duty of a member of the Cabinet to assist at the Ministerial Councils, and to discuss and minutely consider all important acts of administration. The Observer is, therefore, not surprised at the retirement of Mr. Bright from official life. If it is asked why the step was not taken before, there is an easy answer to the ques tion. So long as there was a hope of the President of the Board of Trade being able to' shortly return to the dis charge of his duties, a resignation which tenas to weaken the Ministry was properly withheld at the earnest and unanimous request of the Cabinet. There has, the Observer understands, been a continuous and steady im provement in the health of Mr. Bright, but his medical advisers are now of opinion that the labour and anxiety of office would hinder a complete recovery, and probably cause a dangerous relapse, CONDITIONS In all cases instructions to forward Telegrams are received subject to their acceptance and transmission by the Post Office. The Telegrams to be used only in one newspaper or news room, and are not to be copied. No order for less thin Three Months can be accepted, and prepayment is essential. Orders received on Monday 3101CNING can commence on the following Thursday ; orders received on Thursday MORNING can commence on the following Monday. Two weeks' notice must be given before the expiration of the current quarter if the service is not to be continued. WILLIAM SAUNDERS, Proprietor. 112, Strand, London. W.C., December 1, 1870.

A letter from Malta, dated December 16th, gives some additional particulars of the accident to H.M.S. Psyche. Her . Majesty's despatch-vess , •l Psyche, 2, Lieutenant- ComMander .T. Fellowes, left Malta on Monday evening, the 12th, for Naples, for the purpose of embarking the Sicilian party of the eclipse (English) expedition, and con veying theM to the eastern coast of Sicily. The Psyche left .Naples on the afternoon of the 14th, after having embarked the astronomers, and I regret to say that tele graphic information was received here yesterday after noon to the effect that she stsuck on a sunken rock six milei off Catania,. All the hands are safe and had landed. The astronomers put up at the Grand Hotel at Catania, and the officers and crew were encamped on shore near the scene of the disaster. According to the latest accounts the Psyche was firmly fixed on the rock with deep water all round her, - and it it hoped that by the assistance of the Royal Oak, Caledonia, and Hearty, she will be saved. Everything valuable, with the exception of the clothes belonging to the crew, has been saved. The Caledonia frigate was despatched from Malta last night after two hours' notice, taking with her the steam-tug Hearty. The Royal Oak frigate, which was cruising on the coast of Sicily, hearing of the disaster, immediately proceeded to Catania to render assistance. The Weser is just about to leave this port for Catania, with the officers and crew of the Antelope (which latter vessel is not yet ready for sea), for the purpose of affording all the aid in their power. lam glad to add that all the astronomical instruments and everything belonging to the astronomers were saved. Professors Eastman and Harkness, of the Eclipse American expedition, left Malta on the 11th inst. in the Italian packet for Sicily. THE WEATIIER AND THE PARKS. The frost still continues with unabated severity, and the ice on the park waters is now generally in good condition. Notwithstanding the foggy state of the weather on Sunday morning the various parks were visited by an immense concourse of people throughout the day, and several hun dreds of persons were upon the ice until a late hour in the evening. On Saturday morning, at 9 a.m., the thermo meter at the Receiving House, Hyde-park, registered 19 degs., at noon 24, and at midnight 17, the lowest point arrived at during the present frost. At 9 a.m. on Sunday the glass stood at 18, at noon 19, and at 8 o'clock last night 25, with the wind from the N.W. The following are the official reports for Saturday and Sunday :—On Saturday, in the Serpentine, Round Pond and Long Water, in Kensington Gardens, about 1,500 persons were on the ice, and eight immersions took place on the Round Pond, the 'persons immersed being rescued with difficulty by the icemen, three of whom were so much exhausted that they had to be taken to the Receiving House, where they were attended to by Dr. Seton and Mr. Young. In the Regent's.park there were 4,000 skaters and sliders. No immer sions occurred, but several persons were severely injured from falls. In St. James's-park there were 5,000 persons on the ice with 35 immersions, mostly boys, and there were several cut heads, which were attended to by Dr. Bond. On the Serpentine, Long Watei, and Round Pond, there were 15,000 persons on the ice throughout the day. There were no immersions, but several cases of injury from falls. On the Serpentine, about four o'clock, a decently dressed working man fell heavily on his head on the ice. Ho was picked up in a state of insensibility and taken to the lUepitEing-house, where he remains in an unconscious state from concussion of the brain. In the Regent's-park, where the ice is. 2i inches thick, there were during the day ore than 18,000 persons on the ice. No mmersions bilino,4ut heads from falls. In St. James's park the lye in many parts is very dangerous. There were abkt . 12;000 skaters and sliders during the day, with six immersions and seventeen cut heads. In the Victoria and Battersea Parks about 10,000 persons were upon the, ice 'in each Park, but no serious casualty is ro ported. The Gilbert Court Martial at Madras is still going on. • It is reported that Russia has ordered 1,000 American mitrailleiises. On Christmas Day the cold was more intense than it has been on any Christmas Day for ten years past. Two more of the unhappy sufferers from the late explosion at Witton have died at the General Hospital.. A third was not expected to live many hours. The total is now fifty. Three young girls, two of them aged fourteen and the other fifteen, have been sent to jail at Bury for six months for housebreaking. They carried off £l6, some of which they spent in drink. A military contemporary learns that the army estimates will not be laid before Parliament in any man ner out of the ordinary routine, and that they will not be of any extraordinary character. Most unfavourable accounts continues to be re ceived from Peshawur. The Lahore journal states that the 38th Regiment is suffering so terribly that it must either be soon removed or be extinguished alteigether. Captain T. D. Farquharson, 2nd Battalion 60th Rifles, having passed the required examination, is appointed aide-de-camp to Major-General Grant, C. 8., commanding Poona Division, with effect from 20th May last.—Poona Observer. Anxiety is expressed for the safety of the ship Sunbeam, which left Quebec for Port-Glasgow sixty-five days ago with a cargo of timber, and has not since been heard of. She was manned by nineteen of a crew, and commanded by Captain Weir. A cabdriver was summoned at the Thames P6l.ic e Court on Saturday for having neglected to disinfect fira,, vehicle after carrying in it a person suffering from small pox. The defendant was convicted and fined os., the magistrate intimating that in future the full penalty would be inflicted. The Duke of Norfolk and the Duchess of Noirolk and family left Norfolk House, St. James's-square, on Saturday for Arundel Castle. The remains of Lady Victoria Hope-Scott have been removed to Arundel Castle, and will be interred in the family vault of the new chapel built by the late Duke of Norfolk. The weather in Dublin is very severe. On Satur- day the frost gave a somewhat serious lesson to those wlh, - are careless in cleaning their door steps ; for a p00r , :,,,!: woman, going up to a house door in Rutland-square, slipped on the ice, and in falling, her face coming in contact with the upper steps, her jaw was dislocated. Under the heading, "A. good example to the Anglican Church," the Morniny Post ys sa Archbishop Manning has signified to his clergy in the diocese of \est minster that no midnight service is to be held this Christ mas. The Archbishop is understood to object to the dis person of young women in the middle of the night. Mr. Richard Martin, a timber merchant, has ob . tamed £756 damages against the Dublin corporation, for neglecting to clean a main sewer, in consequence of which his extensive timber yards at Rogerson's Quay, were flooded. Execution has been stayed, to allow of several intricate law points involved in the case being argued on appeal. The following is a list of dispossemed sovereigns . . still living :—Prince Gustavus Vasa of Sweden (1809), Comte de Chambord (1830), Duke Charles of Brunswick (1830), Comte de Paris (1848), Duke Robert of Parma (1859), Grand Duke Ferdinand of Tuscany (1860), Duke Francis of Modena (1860), Francis IL, King of Naples (1861), Duke Adolphus of Nassau (1866) King George of Hanover (1866), Elector of Hesse (1866), Isabella, Queen of Spain (1869), Emperor Napoleon (1870.) • A proclamation has been made by the city magis trate of Tien-tsin in fafour of a Coolie monopoly at Taku. This is directly opposed to Art. 14 of the British 'I testy. The correspondent of the Shanghai Courier writes : The attention of the Customs and consular authorities here has been called to the circumstance, but as yet no action has been taken—apparently. As the steamers will ere long have to discharge at Taku, it will be surprising if the season closes without trouble and loss, should the procla mation be permitted to be in force, "L A SILENCIEUS E ) " Provided with Patent Hook and Needle Guard, which prevents the breaking of thread and needle, is the only really SILENT LOCK - STITCH SEWING MACHINE ON THE ROTATING HOOK PRINCIPLE.
