Illustrated by Edward Hughes, Charles Greene, Clarke Stanton, and others. "Lord Lytton's poetry, as the review of this his poem of `King Arthur' will show, is frequently of a most high and ex ceptional order of merit, instinct with the most delicate appre ciation of human and external nature, fertile with fancy, exalted in aim, excellent in metrical art, and in every respect worthy of himself, which is as much as saying that it is worthy of the literature of his country."—Times, Nov. 9, 1870. "The fable of the poem is undeniably well contrived. The interest is distributed rather than concentrated. There is an inexhaustible fertility of incident ; the adventures of the knights are well told ; and each scene, whether it occurs in the natural or supernatural world, is presented distinctly and effectively. We are left with no cloudy impressions ; everything is bodied clearly forth ; and it is plain that the author did not write his poem at random from one line to another, but constructed it according to a complete and carefully worked-out plan."—Times (Second Notic2), Nov. 23, 1870.

STEELE, Secretary. " 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. 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. " 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 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.

The next day the director of the works gave a breakfast to the men, and, praising their generosity, he said that they should have five hundred francs to divide between them. The workmen agreed to take the money on condition that it should be used in purchasing a cannon for the service of the Republic. INTERNAIONAL CHESS CONGRESS.—An interna ational Chess Congress is again talked of at New York. It is proposed to carry it out on the plan adopted on several occasions at Paris, London, Berlin, and other foreign capitals. A special invitation will be given to all players of great reputation, and a general one to those interested in the game. In considering the scheme the New York Times declares that to render it successful, it will be necessary to pay the ex penses of those who are invited to join, and that the projectors of the new Chess Congress should collect a sufficient fund to enable them to pay . the expenses of the representative champions of foreign countries. The prizes alone will not offer suffi cient inducement, as only two or three can gain them, while th e object of the Association should be to Foreign players from all parts of the world. Foreign Chess Associations have, on similar occasions, made an allowance for trips from Berlin to London or Paris, and yet the American clubs have as Tet offered no such inducement to make their invitation acceptable. Since the war, chess has not attracted its usual share of attention in America, and it is therefore considered desirable to apply the stimulus of an International Congress. The desired object is to draw together in social intercourse the leading professors and devotees, and to assemble them in such numbers that they may do no dis credit to the undertaking or to the different countries which are represented.

LEA AND PERRINS'. THE RAILWAY COLLISION IN THE NORTH. The following account of the shocking disaster at Brockley Whins, between Sunderland and Newcastle, is taken from the Northern Daily Express :—" One of the most• serious railway accidents that have taken place on the North-Eastern Railway occurred on Tuesday morning at Brockley Whins, from which it is feared several deaths will result, and other persons be maimed for life. An express train leaves Sunderland at half-past ten o'clock, and on Tuesdays it is much used by millers, corn merchants, butchers, and other tradesmen coming to Newcastle markets. On Tuesday morning the train consisted of three carriages, which were well filled with business men and others. All went well until the train reached the Brockley Whins station, when it dashed into a coal train which was advancing on the same line, owing to the pointsman having, from some misapprehension or momentary neglect, turned the coal train upon the line upon which the express was rushing along at full speed. The crash was frightful. The engines dashed into each other with terrific vio lence, and while the tender was driven close to the engine, fearfully crushing the fireman, the first carriage mounted upon the top of the tender and the second fell upon it, the occupants of each being shockingly mangled. The first carriage was compressed into about a third of its usual size, and the second was nearly as much broken up,, while the third, which had not completely left the rails, had the end next the other carriage torn out. When the persons in the carriage who had escaped so far as to retain their consciousness, recovered from the shock which they had sustained, an appalling sight pre sented itself. In carriages which were broken to match wood, lay the mangled forms of the unfortunate passen gers. These were got out as soon as possible, and it was found that five of them were either killed or on the point of death, and others very seriously injured. They were removed as speedily as they could be extricated from among the broken fragments of the train, and while some were laid upon the embankment, others were removed into the waiting room of the stationmaster's house. Information was sent to Newcastle, and such medical aid as could be obtained at the moment were sent to the scene of the accident. Dr. Heath, Dr. Raine, and Dr. Hume were cbtained from Newcastle. Several who were slightly injured returned to Sunderland, while a few came on to Newcastle. Among the latter was Mr. Cooke, of Messrs. Hedley, Turnbull, and Cookes, who got a severe shaking and some slight injuries, but be was enabled to walk into his place of business. A sea captain who was in the third carriage had his ankle sprained, while an elderly gentleman got his head se% erely cut. So far as we have yet been able to learn, six persons are killed, and among the unfortunate sufferers from this melancholy accident is Mr. Frederick Younge, the manager of the celebrated "Caste" Company, who are row playing at Sunderland. Mr. Ryder, jun., of Sunderland, had his leg broken. The engineman and fireman of the goods train had a narrow escape. Just before the engines came into colli sion, these two persons jumped off, and, fortunately, escaped unhurt. One old gentleman had his leg broken. A lady was severely cut about the face and her husband bad both his legs broken. We are informed by a gentleman who was present shortly after the accident that the total rumber of persons injured is thirty-eight." The more correct list of the killed is as follows :—Mr. F. Younge, Mr. Henry Richardson, paper manufacturer, Sunderland, Mr. J. C. Turnbull, Taplin, the guard of the express, and Mr. W. Ogden, banker. The following are injured :—Mr. Shuttleworth, Mr. Armstrong, timber merchant, Sunderland ; Mr. James Ryder, cornfactor, Sunderland; Mrs. Scurfield, Sunder land ; Mr. John Reay, iron merchant, Sunderland; Miss Martell, of the Caste Comedy Company ; Mr. and Mrs. Young, Hartford House, Northumberland ; these are not severely hurt. The stoker of the coal engine was also badly injured. Mr. Bretton, corn merchant's traveller, Stockton, had both legs broken, and the same fate befel a porter. Several other persons, whose names have not yet been ascertained, have been injured. A number of surgeons continue in attendance upon those seriously . hurt. THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT" NEAR HARROW. The inquest at. Harrow was resumed yesterday at the Railway Hotel. Thomas Walker, the signalman at Wembly, was the first witness examined. In resuming his evidence he stated that according to custom his clock was regulated from Euston. He used his own discretion as to the time for lowering the signal from danger to caution. This was according to the rule. The rule did not allow him to lower it in less than three minutes. William Croshan, the driver of the goods train, stated that it took him about 10 minutes to drive from Willesden to Wembley, and from 6 to 7 thence td Harrow. That would not include shunting. After he arrived at the points at Harrow, he could get into the siding in about 2 minutes. The time for going from Willesden to Harrow, if he did not stop at Wembley, was 20 minutes including shunting. He was now speaking of the day on which the accident occurred. Had he had a clear road he should have done it in that time. By Colonel Hutchinson : The third line signals shewed green lights at the back. He did not remember seeing the back light when at Wembly. He did not see the red on the main until he was close to it. John White, pointsman at Watford, originally doing duty at Wembly, said he never recollected putting the danger-signal against the express. He never saw a driver pass the danger-signal without slowing. Thomas Thurlow, signalman at Wembly cutting, proved being at his box when the 4.37 Euston passed, two or three minutes before five. His duty with regard to putting on fog signals would depend upon how foggy it was. If he could not see the signals at 50 yards he should put fog signals on. He never recollected having had to stop the express by red signals. He had been three years at this box. John Farmer Daw, station master at Harrow, said he was in charge of the station and superintended the shunt ing of goods trains. If the time for shunting ran short he would send a man back to protect the coming train. After starting the 4.37 passenger train from Euston, on Saturday the 26, he left his foreman in charge. The goods porters should be there to assist in shunting the goods train. Their names were Burnham and Burlingham. He could not say where they were when he left the station. Before he left he told the fore man to get the plate layers out to go a-fogging. The foreman said " All right," and left. He resumed the charge of the station directly the accident had taken place. He drew the attention of Mr. Lambert (to whom he was talking) to the fact that the signals were not very visible, awl told the foreman to go to the fogmen. He had been in his office fifteen months. William Adams, ganger of the platelayers, said if he was off duty when it was foggy he went to the station to see if there were any orders. He was going there on Satur day, the 26th, when he met the porter, who told him to get two men. He went about 400 yards to get one, the other he met in the station yard. From the time he met the porter to the time he went again to the station, a quarter of an hour elapsed. He was not ready to start with his lamps and signals before the express came in. It was then coming on a dense fog. He could see the main down signals through the fog, but not clearly. He could not see the tail lights of the express until he was close by them. Robert Stone, driver of the second express engine on the 26th November, said there were nineteen carriages to the train. There were three break vans included. They started from Euston at two minutes past five, and were due at Willesden at 5.9. They . arrived at 5.11. They left about 5.12. He saw the signal at Brent. He did not see the main signal a t Wembly, but saw the pol man's handlamp inside the box. Saw no other lights. The cause of his not seeing the main signal was the fog. He did not see the distance signal at Harrow from the fog and the fire and smoke of the pilot engine. He heard one fog signal, at the bridge, - and immediately shut off the steam, and re versed the engine. The pilot engine was responsible for the look-out. He had no communication with the driver of the front engine after leaving Euston. He never knew this train pass a danger signal without stopping as soon as possible. He could not say what the driver of the pilot engine did when he shut off steam ; but the moment the fog signal went off, the pilot engine whistled. I The Wembly policeman was inside his hut, stationary. lAs he passed, the lamp was not waved at all. The fog was sufficiently thick to require fog signals, if it had been n ecessary to stop the express at Wembly. There was a necessity for using the whistle before hearing the fog signals, on passing Brent, where the fog was thickest. Their usual speed was about forty-five miles an hour. The collision might have been avoided by some persons going back with fog signals. In foggy weather the white over the fog light was better seen than the red. He had no time to look for the Harrow signal afterpassing signal. If the signals had been all right he would have stopped for a red hand light. At this stage of the proceedings the inquiry was adjourned. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A LIVERPOOL GENTLE MAN. —A serious, and as it proved fatal accident, oc curred on Monday evening, at Liverpool, to Mr. H. F. Walker, solicitor, the son of Mr. Walker, the borough prosecuting solicitor. The deceased gentleman was descending the steps leading from Unity-buildings, Lord street, when he fell down them, and fractured his skull. He was removed to the Northern Hospital, where he died about six hours afterwards. Oharlton Tucker, Northumberland-street, Strand. QA.CONTALA. (The Three Shilling Edition.)

GENERAL BUTLER'S SPEECH ON ENGLAND. The full text of General Butler's lecture sant' le relations between England and the United States occupies several closely-printed columns of the New York papers. At the present crisis it will be read with interest. It created some excitement in Boston, and was listened to by over 3,000 persons. After referring to the abrogation of party distinctions in America by the war, he proceeded to arraign England for her offences against the national dignity and honour. Imperial France was quite as early in recognising the belligerent rights of the rebels, and quite as unfriendly in attacking Mexico, but in the latter case it did no injury, and the former offence was not followed by any other act. No rebel cruiser was fitted or entertained in any French port. No pirate was let loose to prey on American commerce by Napoleon. No man can doubt that the English Go vernment heartily desired that England's only successful commercial rival should be crushed. Some persons argue that the Americans should delay settlement of their claims until England gets into a war, and then let loose other Alabamas from their ports to prey upon her com merce. Such a course would be neither statesmanlike nor magnanimous. It would be sneakingly cowardly. " Let us rather," said the speaker, " stand up in the strength of our nationhood, and fearlessly and boldly claim the rights which belong to us, insist upon their being respected, and that all questions between us and Great Britain be adjusted at once and for ever, so as to take away all cause of unfriendliness between two powerful nations of the earth." He would deal with this question independently of the mere legal rights of the parties as determined by public law. He only saw that the English Government was hostile, and that her hostility was harmful to the United States. They claimed reparation. The question was, how were they to enforce their rights ? By declaring war ? By no means. The United States would never lightly declare war. They were not a war-making Government, but only a war-carrying on Government when war was made upon them. General Butler said if England would not make repara tion he would treat her as he would treat a vicious neigh bour who gave vent to his enmity by darkening his windows, he would have nothing to do with her—neither buy nor sell, nor would he, after due notice, hold diplo 'eatic or commercial relations with her until full reparation were made. Complete, thorough stringent non-intercourse was the remedy, and not a ca us belli under any law of nations. Now was the opportunity, because Prussia and France would be ready, on recovering from their exhaus tion, to take from the States their surplus in cotton and food, while the protection given to American industry, and the saving to the country by the non-importation of British goods would be immense. The United States Government ought to assume and pay all ascertained losses of the Alabama claims. But after all the great injury could not be compensated in money, and the best reparation would be for England to remove future causes of collision. He did not ask for Canada and the provinces, but he should be willing to assume the Alabama claims and settle all possible differences between the two countries to-morrow, if Great Britain would leave the Western Continent and let her provinces choose for them• selves in future. More difficult complications were, how. ever, daily arising between the two countries, which in the interests of both nations demanded the immediate settlement of the Alabama claims. General Butler then proceeded to trace the • history of the North American fisheries, whose importance, he said, was very early appreciated both by France and England. He cited the several acts and treaties relating to them, and loudly condemned the conduct of the British and Canadian authorities throughout, denying the interpretation they put upon the Treaties of 1818 and 1854. Canada, he said, now that the Reciprocity Treaty was annulled, had re vived the oppressive laws passed before it, and had even dating the present summer arrested some American &barmen. Such things could not continue, and a colision was inevitable if the fishing rights could be pre;ected in uo other way. If the Government was powerless to preserve American rights through diplomacy a alllision was desirable, because then the series of injuries would be terminated in a manner that would astonish diplomacy. The settlement of the Alabama claims by withdrawing British power from the Continent and giving the Americans an ocean-butyl Republic, was in the interests of peace, not of war. No statesman, nor patriot, could desire war. As a nation, they knew what war was and its effects. Certain s timid Anglophobists said this course would bring on war, but it would nut do so unless England chose to add violence to hostility and injustice. He asked no other language of instruction to their Ministers than that given by Queen Elizabeth in 160 when she settled British rights of fishing with Denmark. And you shall further declare that the la* of nations - - - alloweth of fishing in the sea everywhere ; as also of using ports and coasts of princes in amitie for traffique and avoidinge danger of tempests : so that if our men be barred thereof it should be by some contract. We acknow ledge none of that nature." He said nothing of the keen sense of wrong and injury, but he could not forget there were 1,600,000 Irishmen in that country eager to avenge the wrongs done to their mother land by British tyranny. He could not forget that many Southerners who fought against the Government were longing once more to fight under the starry old flag. He could not forget that in such a war they had no commerce to lose, and as a Republican he must remember that of the two million votes of the Democratic party, twelve millions were those of naturalised Irish men, who would join the Republicans in supporting a war with England. As a politician he had every incen tive to such a war, for it would perpetuate the Republican party in power for more than a generation. Therefore, when they asked for their just rights and indemnification should England offer them such a war with such causes, such hopes, and such memories, every patriotic American ought to address to her Majesty's Government a portion of the prayer they were taught in childhood, " Suffer us not to fall into temptation." SAILORS AT CONFIRMATION.—A. special confir mation service was held at St. John's Church, Weymouth, on Monday morning, by the Right Rev. Dr. Moberly, the bishop of the diocese, for the men and boys belonging to her Majesty's training ship Boscawen and other sailors belonging to the Channel fleet. About 313 sailors received confirmation. THE LONDON SCHOOL BOARD.—It has perhaps not been generally observed that as Miss Garrett is the candidata for a seat at the London School Board who has obtained the greatest number of votes, by the regulations issued by the Privy Council, she would be entitled to pre side at the fir.t meeting of the board, at which that body will proceed to choose its permanent chairman. This will be no small stride towards the assertion of what are called woman's rights. To the inquiry—frequent enough —Where is the board to sit? it is answered suggestively, either in the commodious council chamber of the Metro politan Board of Works, or that of the Common Council of the City of London—most likely the former. The representatives in London of the New York journals clearly enjoy a privilege not accorded to their brethren of the English press. Cabinet secrets are flashed across the Atlantic of which English readers have not the faintest suspicion. For instance, the New York Times of the 24th informs its readers, in the most familiar way, that " Granville sent his note to Russia without waiting for the approval of his colleagues," prefacing the statement with the unnecessary remark that "it is noticed with more than surprise." Then we learn that at a Cabinet Council held on the 23rd it was resolved "to aiopt a more moderate tone towards Russia, and seek to conciliate her," the leading members of the Government denouncing a rupture because it would be unpopular, and for the more substantial reason that the country is unprepared tor it. DEATH OF A. FRENCH NOVELIST.—Madame Charles Reybaud, the authoress of many charming and original French romances, who was also known in the literary world by her maiden name of Henriette Etien nette Fanny Arnaud, died last week at Nice, in her 67th year, after a long and painful illness. She was born at Aix on December 13th, 1802, being the daughter of a distinguished physician, who gave her a liberal education, and inspired her with a love of study. After her marriage with M. Joseph Charles Reybaud, a French litterateur Re:: Emns:pgzagn:;:: 1839 ; (who died in 1864), she went to Paris and wrote stories in the Constitutionnel while her husband was conductor of that journal, besides contributing to various periodicals, and especially to the _Revue des Deux Mondes, a separately.
