KING ARTHUR. By LORD LYTTON.
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.
" If any poem could live by fine passages, this should do
so."—Spectator, Nov. 26, 1870.
Richly bound, gilt edges, dEc., Half a Guinea.

MISTL.EITOE GRANGE.. 2s.
" There is such a vein of humour, and such a pleasant
conveyance of information about things which cannot, even in
these days, be said to be generally known, that any father
or mother of a family would find it anything bat disagreeable to
read it aloud to their circle of little ones,"—Morning Post.
" There are some useful facts cleverly stated."—Athenreum.
"'Mistletoe Grange' the youthful reader expects to be a
story book; and so it is, and a capitally written one too."—

Tuesday, the 3rd of January following; that the Annual General
Court appointed by their Charter wilt be holden at their Office

ROBERT P. 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. 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 he
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 modern Rome may grieve, but will not
affront, a liberal Roman Catholic, and may command the assent,
but will not shock the better feelings, of a Liberal Protestant."—

VISIT OF HER MAJESTY TO OLAIIEMONT.—Her
Majesty the Queen, accompanied by their Royal High-
nesses Princesses Louise and Beatrice and Prince Leopold,
and attended by the ladies and gentlemen of the royal
suite, will leave Windsor Castle at the end of the week for
Claremont, where her Majesty and Royal Family will
take up their residence for a few days, probably from
Friday till Monday. The Queen will proceed by road.
via Old Windsor and Egham, to Chertsey, where a delay
of a few minutes will be occasioned for the purpose of
changing horses, which will be sent on from the royal
mews at Windsor.
The workmen on the Lyons Railway were engaged to
take part in the manufacture of new cannons the other
day. Wheu the first of these was done, they were pre-
sented with a sum of three hundred francs. The work-
men took the money, but on leaving, the place they con-
sulted together, and put the money in one of the boxes of
the Society for Succouring the wounded. 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 the 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-

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 at 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
necessary 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.

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.
