Now Published, A WINTER JOURNEY TO ROME AND BACK, WITII AN ACCOUNT OF TUE OPENING OF THE CECUMENICAL 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. 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. 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. " 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. 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 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 modem 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.

Giving a full description of the perfect insect from nature ; also a description of the Caterpillar, Chrysalis, Food Plant, Time of Appearance, and Localities where found. Each moth is drawn from nature by George 'Willis, and engraved in his best style by John Kerchner. The figures are life-size of every species : and if varieties require it, three, four, five, and even six figures are given. The work Is complete in thirty-one monthly numbers, at 6d. each. The work is also issued in quarterly parts, in covers, at Is. 6d. each part. Part X. now ready, price 2s, Back numbers reprinted, and may be had. "We congratulate British entomologists on the completion and publication of this magnificent work."—Field. " Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work will be invaluable. —Daily Telegraph. " 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 fully 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 au 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. We regard it as a very useful addition to our library." Land and Wafer, Oct. 9. London—W. TWEEDIE. 337. Strand. W.O. GEOLOGY MADE EASY. .A.

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, lion.

A DESPICABLE FELLOW.—AntoIo Mullen, a well dressed man, was brought up before Mr. Knox, at the Marlborough-street Police-court, charged with disorderly conduct in the Haymarket. Daniel Palmer, 31 C Re serve, said that a little before one o'clock that monring, he saw the prisoner following a French prostitute along the Haymarket. The woman spoke to a gentleman, ana on leaving him went up to the prisoner and gave him something. A man seeing what was going on told the prisoner that he ought to be ashamed of himself to live on the prostitution of a woman, and an altercation then took place between the man and the prisoner. He got the man to go away, but as the prisoner refused to go and caused a large crowd to collect, he took him into custody, when he became very violent. In reply to Mr. Knox, the coustable said he knew the prisoner to live on the prostitution of a French woman, and to be in the nightly habit of following her about and receiving money from her. Robert French, 13 OR, gave similar evidence as to the prisoner's conduct last night, and as to his mode of life. Mr. Knox fined the prisoner, who de scribed himself as a traveller, 405., or a month. As soon as the prisoner heard the decision, he either fainted or pretended to faint, and was carried out of court. A STRANGE CASE. —Mr. John Turner, the man who was given into custody for assaulting two ladies in a rail way carriage, while they were travelling from Dudley Port to Birmingham, was tried at the Staffordshire sessions. He said, in defence, that the women, who, it will be recollected, jumped from the train while it was travelling, had got up the charge for the purpose of extorting money from the company. The jury acquitted him. CAUSING DISTURBANCE IN CHURCH. —At the Dublin Northern Divisional Police Court, three young men, Thomas Ayres, confectioner, Wm. Anderson, stationer's porter, and William Martin, brass-founder, surrendered to their bail iu answer to a charge made against them by Mr. Thomas D'Arcy, churchwarden, Grangegorman. The charge, as it appeared on the sheet, was as follows : " Being three of a number of persons who conducted them selves in a disorderly manner calculated to disturb Divine service in the Grangegorman Church between twelve and one o'clock p.m. on the Ist inst., by stamping their feet on the floor of the church while leaving it in a body ; also the prisoners Ayres and Martin with being two of a number of persons who were conducting themselves in a disorderly manner in the yard of the church by shouting, so as to interrupt Divine service then going on in the church under the direction of the incumbent, the Rev. Dr. Maturin. The court was extremely crowded, and the case attracted a great deal of attention. Mr. Purcell stated the case for the prosecution. In the case before the magistrate a handbill had been freely circulated within and without the parish. The following was the handbill, which counsel read :—" Fellow Protestants. Attend Grangegorman Church on next Sunday (New Year's Day), the first day of their dis endowment, and receive with scorn and indigna tion the Popish procession that is to march singing from the schoolhouse to the church. Be sure to secure front seats, and do not fail to read aloud the responses. Leave the church as soon as St. Maturin commences his sermon. Attend evening service as well. 'No Surren der.' " His worship commented strongly on the conduct of the accused, and said he sand his brother magistrates would do their utmost to prevent such occurrences. He could see a distinction in the case of the accused Martin, and would only inflict on him a fine of £3, or six weeks' imprisonment. With respect to the other prisoners, who appeared to have been ringleaders, he should inflict a fine of £5, or three months' impri sonment. The Liverpool steamer Leeming has been totally lost on the coast of Portugal, whilst on a voyage to Gibraltar. Ail on board perished, except an engineer named Robertson. .1 EIGHT THOUSAND PERSONS FROZEN OUT OF WORK —lt is roughly estimated that from 10,000 to 12,000 per sons are daily employed at the London, St. Katherine, Commercial, Grand Surrey Canal, Grand Junction, and other docks in London, but owing to the continuance of the frost, with the exception of those employed in the warehouses, they have for th e p ast few day _ been thrown out of work. SYMPATHY WITH FRANCE, Yesterday afternoon a meeting of citizens of London, was held at the City Terminus Hotel, Cannon-street, for the purpose of expressing sympathy with France in her present position. The meeting was promoted by the committee, of which Mr. Merriman is the chairman, and prior to the commencement of the proceedings, copies of the memorial to the Lord Mayor, asking his lordship to convene a meeting at the Guildhall, and which the chief magistrate of the city declined to do, were circulated throughout the room. Mr. Lockyer, of Mincing-lane, was called upon to preside. Mr. Merriman condemned the conduct of the Lord Mayor in refusing to grant the use of the Guildhall for the meeting, and declared that, to say the least of it, he was exceedingly ill-advised in ignoring the wish of the citizens expressed in a memorial which S second to none presented to a Lord Mayor for a similar purpose during the past century. (Cheers.) Referring to the war the speaker said thought it was alleged that the French people were the aggressors, the Im• perial correspondence which had since been dis covered clearly proved the contrary, and shewed that the Emperor had been dragged into a war by Prussia who for a long time before had been prepared for it. If, as the King of Prussia said, he made war against a dynasty, and not against the French peo ple, peace should have been concluded after the capitu lation of Sedan. Every Englishman must blush for such a dynasty as that of Prussia, and for the connection of English Royalty with it. The British taxpayer had to pay heavily towards the support of Princes and Princelets of a country which was carrying on this uncivilized and unrighteous war. (Great cheering). He considered they had a right to call upon the Government, after their seven weeks' inaction, to take steps to bring about a peace which should be consistent with the honour of France, and with the true interests of European civilization. Every pressure should be put upon Prussia to bring about this end, and, unless success followed, it should be declared that Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, and other Royal residences, should be closed against all connected with the Prussian dynasty. He moved " That the meeting de clares its abhorrence of the war now waged by Prussia in France. We do so in the interest of both countries as well as on behalf of peace, justice, and humanity, and in the conviction that equitable terms can be more easily arranged at the present time than at any future stage of this devastating conflict, we call upon her Majesty's Government to press for effectual negotia tions between Prussia and France with the view of procurir.g an honourable and lasting peace." —Mr. Brindle seconded the resolution.—Mr. Solomons moved as an amendment to add the words, "And that Government should immediately respagnise the de facto French Republic." He, however, withdrew it at the request of the chairman, and the original motion was carried with only three or four dissentients.—Mr. Solo mons then moved as a substantive resolution what he had proposed as an amendment, and Mr. Weston seconded it. The resolution was put • and carried by a considerable majority, but the chair man declared it lost, and a scene of much confusion pre • vailed for some minutes. The meeting would not allow the programme to be proceeded with until the resolution was again put and declared by the chairman to be carried, amid loud cheers and counter cheers.—Dr. Mackay moved and Mr. Muir seconded a resolution expressing earnest sympathy with the people of France in their disasters, and admiration of their heroic conduct. Reso lutions were also passed, recording reprobation of the policy of Prussia since the surrender of Sedan, agreeing to call a meeting of inhabitants of the metropolis generally to confirm the above resolutions, and appoint a deputation to wait upon Mr. Gladstone with a memorial upon the subject. PARIS PRICES. The France relates the following story, the authenticity of which it guarantees :—" On the morning of the 3rd of December a flag of truce was displayed ou the battle field of Comilly ; French and Prussians were mingled to gether, taking up their wounded and burying their dead. While they were fulfilling these sad duties the French and Germans conversed together, but when luncheon time mine all separated to find refresh ments in the neighbourhood. `f I have brought some pro visions with me," said 'a French doctor to two Prussian officers who chanced tobe standing by him, " and if you will do me the honour of partaking . . . " The invitation was accepted with as good a grace as it was given, and the doctor led his guests towards a carriage which stood near. The clot] was laid on a boul der, and all disposed themselves round it as best they might. The French doctor then produced from his carriage a fine fowl, a pats, some pats of butter fresh vegetables, fine wines, and some cheese—all this quite quietly, without fuss, just as if it were all the most natural thing in the world. The doctor's guests contem plated this luncheon with astonishment. Our country man, on the other hand, assumed a perfectly indifferent manner, talking of everything but the matter in hand. At last the Prussians could not help expressing their sur prise at such a bill of fare, adding that it must have cost a great deal. "No, indeed," replied the host, "we have abundance of all that sort of thing, and one can get it without any trouble. I had but to send my servant just before I left. Of course it is a little dearer than usual, but the difference is hardly perceptible. Come," added he, "we shall see directly. My servant must have got the bill by him." The servant accordingly fumbled in his pockets, and drew out a bill from one of our best restaurants which came to 28f. " You see," said t he doctor, handing the bill to his astounded visitors, " it is not out of the way." The luncheon cost 200 f., but the doctor had taken care to have two bills. It is contemplated to establish a bishopric at Heligoland. New boilers aro being built for the Great Eastern, which is at present lying in the Medway. The Exeter Gazette states that the Bishop of Mauritius has had a severe attack of bronchitis, which has prevented him from fulfilling his engagements to preach at Barnstaple. A Kerry paper mentions, as a remarkable instance of the confidence which the new Land Act has created in the tenant-right of farms held by parole agreement, that a sum of £465 has been given for the interest of a farm of forty-two acres, not held under lease, at public auction, in Kenmore. The Bishop of Perth (Western Australia), the Right Rev. Dr. Matthew B. Hale, has announced his in tention of resigning his see, to which he was consecrated in 1856. The bishopric is supported by the interest of £4,000, granted by the Colonial Bishopric Fund, and invested in the colony. THE EMPRESS OF THE FRENCH.—The members of the Bromley Friends in Council may well be not a little gratified that the remarks made at the recent meet ing by Mr. J. B. Brown, so expressive of the best feelings of the neighbourhood towards the Empress, have been very graciously acknowledged by her Majesty.—Brosnley ( Kent) Record. THE ROYAL MARRIAGE.—The Greenwich ad vanced Liberals have adopted a resolution protesting against the proposed dowry of 230,000 and annuity of £6,000 to the Princess Louise, " inasmuch as they con sider the same unjust and unnecessary, and that the amount would be far more usefully and beneficially ex pended in clearing and cultivating a portion of the waste lands of the State, and thereby find work for some of those who are sadly suffering for the want of employ ment." FATAL ACCIDENT TO A STATION-MASTER.— Another fatal railway accident occurred on Wednesday evening on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln Rail way, near Barnsley. Henry Addey, station-master at Dovecliffe Station ' when in the act of opening a gate which shuts off the passenger traffic from Howland- Nether, was struck by the engine of a coal train, and so seriously injured that he died in about an hour afterwards. It is stated that the signals were off. The deceased had opened one gate, and was trying to open the other, e when to the engine came upon him. The pelvis was shatter pieces, and the ribs on the right side, with few exceptions,. h were broken. Deceased had he d en ha i d n ho t e h n e company over twenty years, an years s s ta e t r i y o w n e m of as t te e r o a f t aDgoevaencldiffleeaavbeosuat Nsverdeonwteaenndyseez.al li ch e ild w re a n s . sixty THE limn QUA RTER SEsSIONS.—Mr. Johnston, • t Q.O Chairman, of County Do wn Q uarter Sessions, in y qualify in.- mat 11 the ens y o p en ing the sessions f or the Newtownards division of the county, made observations remarks he had made at Downpatrick a few days before with reference to the large number of ejectment_ actions. He now says that when he made these observations he was apprehensive that it might be the opening scene of that ligitation between landlord and tenant which s ome p eo ple f o reboded would be the result of the New Land Act, and which•might naturally affect the kindly-feelings which happily existed between landlord and tenant in this county ; but, when he came to know the cases they turned out •to be the ordinary class of ejectment, most of them being for non-payment of rent. Mr. Johnston added that he was glad to be enabled to congratulate the grand jury on the fact that there was not a single criminal case for trial. The Chairman of Antrim has also had a maiden sessions at Ballymena. W • F . TNHOM AS AN D CO. ' S DOMESTIC SEWIN. MACHINES ARE MANUFACTURED SPECIALLY FOR FAMILY .
