NOTES FROM ROME.

The following extraordinary statement reaches us from
Rome :,---A great sensation has been produced at Rome by
, the arrival at Civita Vecchia of the English ironclad
Defence, having on board 450 soldiers. The cap-
tain instantly paid a visit to the commandant of the fort,
but excused himself from receiving a return visit on the
ground that he was obliged by his orders to go at once to
Rome to deliver dispatches from the English Foreign
Office. He has since had an audience of the Pope. The
Vatican affirms that he is the bearer of an important
communication to the Pontifical Government, and some
go so far as to state that the Defence has come prepared
to receive the Pope on board, and convey him to Malta.
—Pall Mall Gazette.

Everything promises well for a respectable representa-
tion of English Catholics in the Papal Army. Mr.
Power, M.P. for Wexford, Mr. Oswald Vavasour, and
Mr. Wilifrid Watts Russell have arrived for the
defence of the Holy See. - The name of the
brothers Russell is too dear to the Zouaves
and to all English Catholics not to make
the return of Mr. Wilfrid Russell one of the most welcome
re-engagements recorded: Numerous arrivals are expected
on Wednesday. Among those who have received com-
missions are the Comte Charles d'Ursel, and the
eldest son of Prince Rospiglioso. The former
appointment is understood to be a recogni-
tion of the immense services both in men and
money the Belgian Papal Defence Committee has
rendered and is rendering the Holy See. Other promo-
tions are expected in a few days in proportion to the
increase of the recruitment.

Mr. Jarvoise, attache of her Britannic Majesty's
Embassy at Florence, has been temporarily accredited at
Rome as successor to Mr. Odo Russell.— Tablet.

LITERATURE, SCIENCE, AND ART.
The Athenceunt says Mr. Robert Howie Smith is editing
" The Poems and Songs " of Sir Alexander Boswell,
Bart., of Auchinleck. This will be the first time they
have been collected'—Mr. John Byrne, jun., has
been elected secretary of the Newspaper Press
Fund. There were 100 applicants for the post.—
The facilities for the study of practical chemistry are in-
creasing considerably in London. Besides the extensive
and complete laboratory, which has recently been built
at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, there will be a large one in
the new S'. Thomas's ; and that at Charing Cross Hos-
pital is to be enlarged.—Herr G. Closs, a young Suabian
painter and wood engraver of promise, has died at Prien,
on the Chiemsee.

THE ACCIDENT TO MR. DTTNCOURT.—Mr. D'Eyn-
court, we are happy to state, although much bruised and
shaken by the severe accident which befell him on Wed-
nesday, was on Thursday able to take his seat on the
bench at Marylebone Police-court.
THE MARQUIS OF BUTE.—The Marquis of Bute
has contributed the munificent sum of £lO,OOO towards
the Catholic Education Crisis Fund.— Weekly Register.
The Echo has a Berlin telegram to the effect that
Prussia will demand as the terms of peace that the
German Frontier shall be the line of the Moselle, includ-
ing Metz.

MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS.—We understand that
the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mrs. Lowe are
expected at the end of the week at the Scotch residence of
Mr. Bass, M.P., Glentulchan, Inverness.
Dr. Wynter, writing to the Echo, says : —(4 It is
quite true that Lady Mordaunt's health has been im-
proving, both physically and mentally, since she has been
at Chiswick, but I may be permitted to add that she
remains under my medical charge and care." Dr. Wyn-
ter adds that his house is neither a public nor a private
asylum.

THE BICYCLE AS A VEHICLE.—The Echo says
e bicycle does not maintain the position it achieved a
ear ago. It was then thought that it would become a
very general mode of travelling, especially for rural curates
and postmen. But we have not heard that either the
Ecclesiastical Commissioners or the Post Office have given
orders to the bicycle manufacturers.
A COOL REQUEST.—At a meeting of the general
purposes committee of the Town Council of Manchester,
held on Thursday, a letter was read from Major Clapham,
of the Ist Manchester Rifle Volunteers applying for as-
sistance in providing a new drill shed. 'After an animated
discussion, the application was refused, on the ground
that the Municipal Act prevented the expenditure of
Corporation funds on such purposes.
MEAT SUPPLIES TO FRANCE.—AImost every
morning during the last week or two large consignments
of meat, chiefly quarters of beef, have been sent from the
Bricklayers' Arms Station of the South-Eastern Railway
to France. Immense consignments of bacon continue to
be shipped from the port of London to France, a great
portion of it being Irish fed pork. Large .orders from
France not only for salted meat provisions, but for every
description of preservable eatable, are said to be in the
hands of London,. Liverpool, Glasgow, Belfast, and
Dublin merchants.
SMALL Pox IN IRELAND.—The success with
which small-pox has been stamped out of Ireland by the
careful enforcement of vaccination continues, we are glad
to find, unabated. Only one death from small-pox is
reported in the whole of Ireland during the quarter
ending June, 1870. The few cases that have occurred
were traced to direct importation. When shall we see
this country as carefully guarded by the thorough and
salutary enforcement of the law ? Not, we fear, while
the power of carrying it out lies so largely as it does now
in the hands of boards of guardians.—Pall Mall Gazette.
FRENCH PATRIOTISM.—On Wednesday night the
steamer Thomas Wilson, belonging to Messrs. T. Wilson,
Sons, and Co., arrived at Hull from St. Petersburg,
having amongst her passengers fourteen young Frenchmen
from St. Petersburg, en route for Paris, to join the French
army. The had all left good situations as clerks at
offices
different at St. Petersburg, and their demeanour
was serious and earnest. The Dunkirk steamer had left
a few hours before their arrival, so the French vice-consul,
Mr. T. F. Hewitt, forwarded them to London.
THE CHoLEn.A.—We regret to have to announce
that cholera is extending in South-Eastern Russia, and
that it has appeared at Rostow, on the Don, at Kertch,
and at Odessa. The Journal de St. Petersbourg of the
11th instant announces twenty-three cases and ten
deaths from the epidemic at Rostow, and nine cases and
four deaths at Kertch. The appearance of the disease is
alone announced at Odessa in a communication dated the
4th instant. The latest news from Taganrog states that
from the 251-h of June to the 18th of July 118 cases of the
malady occurred in that town, seventy-five of which ended
fatally.—Lancet.

BRITISH OFFICERS WITH THE FRANCO-PRUSSIAN
ARMY.—We are enabled to state that permission has not
been accorded to military medical officers to give their
services in the hospitals of the French or Prussian armies.
Two army medical officers have, however, been accredited
to the French army for the purpose of studying the system
of hygiene and hospital arrangements in the field.
Deputy Inspector - General Gordon, C.B. has been
selected for this duty ; and Surgeon-Major Wyatt of the
Coldstream Guards will aid in these inquiries, under the
direction of Dr. Gordon. Professor Parkes, F.R.S.,
has been granted permission to visit the Prussian army
in the field.—British Medical Journal.
SEASIDE LODGINGS AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES.—
There is a very salutary section in the Sanitary Act of
1866 which we commend to the notice at the present time
of all, visitors to those seaside places to which convales-
cents are likely to repair or have recently repaired. This
section provides that anyone who shall knowingly let any
part of a house in which a person suffering from a dan-
gerous infectious disorder has been to any other person
without having it, or articles in it liable to retaininfection,
disinfected to the satisfaction of a medical man, as tested
by his certificate, shall be liable to a fine of not less than
£2O. We know that scarlet fever. for instance, is spread
from family to family by the wilful neglect of this pre-
caution, and the carelessness of the public also in refe-
rence to the occupancy of fouled lodgings. Is the public,
before deciding upon lodgings they propose to secure,
would only take the trouble to ask the simple question
whether there had been in the house anyone suffering
from any infectious disease, they would save themselves
from many sad occurrences which are entirely preventible.
Lancet.

WILLS AND BEQUESTS.—The will of the Right
Hon. Stanhope, Baron Hawke' of Towton, and of Pp-1.:
House, near Pontefract, Yorkshire, was proved at Wake-
field under £30,000 personalty.—The will of the light
Hon. Sir George Markham Giffard, P.C., a Lord Justice
of Appeal, was proved in London, on the 19th ult., by
the Rev. Jervis Trigge Giffard and James Combes
Giffard, Esq., the testator's brothers, and Henry Bonham
Carter, Esq., the joint acting executors and trustees.
The personalty was sworn under £60,000. The will of
Alexandre Charles Louis Devaux, late of Chateau de
Gravells, in France ; Avenue-road, St. John's-wood, Mid-
dlesex; and 6, William•street, London,' banker and mer-
chant, was proved in London on the 12th ult., under
£70,000 personalty in England. He directs that a sum of
£20,000 is to remain to the credit of the banking firm
of Charles Devaux and Co., of which he has described
himself as being the head, and that this sum shall carry
an interest and bonus of 121 per cent., and be returned to
his estate at the end of ten years. It is his wish that his
son Charles shall become a partner in the bank on his
attaining the age of twenty-five. He concludes his will
in these words :—" I was born and brought up in France,
and I have been in England for the. purpose of devoting
myself to mercantile business. My intention has never
been that of abandoning my nationality.”—lllustrated
London News.

LORD HOBART ON. WAR.
Ft r more than thirty years (says Lord Hobart)
the French- revolutionary war Europe enjoyed Prnkti.
peace. War seemed to have become an obsolete barbarity
standing armaments pressed lightly on the taxpayer' as
brains of ingenious men were no longer employed int d
invention of machines for larcerating and blowing e1,1,,s
life their fellow-creatures, arms yielded to the nie
Victories, indeed, there were, but they ,00
those of such great commanders as Watt, Arkwilfr
and Cobden, and somehow the world seemed none el
less happy. The noble lord declares that of late
can hardly be said to have shrunk from war as an e"„gt
itself. Anyone who has watched events wty
see that war has come to be considered ot,
natural and necessary solution of imPert'di,
and even of unimportant, international ,bei/
putes. Nations nolonger go to war only to avengeet
own defeats, but also to avenge the defeats of others. .to
fight now to see which is the Strongest, and, not likb.,
confess this, they invent pretexts which they adnonb.o
nothing more. In discussing the cause of this relapse liie)
barbarism, Lord Hobart says that, setting aside lot
minor items as Carlylism, muscular Christianity, 0%0
' like, it io attributable to one simple cause—enernei
armaments in time of peace. The order of creatioaud
not exclude from the scope of possibility perms,
peace ; what it does exclude is peace, even for a fey Ye if,
when everyone is armed to the teeth against his neighl)°,i's•
France and Prussia are now engaged in mutual trilcoj
tion chiefly because they possessed the means nee,.°s3o
for the purpose. Russia, Austria, and Italy are, rana,
same reason, ready at a word to join the dance of deiv'o
There is, his lordship points out, but one
to a better order of things, and it is tiiT
after the peace, disarmament. It, is to be hope.d ,ot
the carnage and horrors of the last few days will„ilij„
turned men's minds irresistibly in that direction. S Thy
this hope be disappointed there is everything to fear. ty
world cannot be expected to tolerate much lougero
scandal of such frightful scenes and the burden of 0
wide-spread suffering.

THE TRAGEDY AT CAMBERWELL.
' Yesterday mornino. Mr. W. Carter, the coronerlifo°l
East Surrey, opened an inquiry at the Maribor° el
Arms, South-street, Camberwell, touching the death
William Lewis, aged 68; who died, as was alleged, .L'oo,
violence inflicted upon him by an Italian named Pber
noino, in the Castle Tavern, at CaUle
well, on Wednesday night last. Considertioe,
interest was evidently manifested in the rt,,r
The first witness called was Maria Beedon, the Zoe
maid at the Castle Tavern, Camberwell, who repeateu.,a
evidence given before the magistrate. Deceased an
woman came in first, and while serving a second m` e,
another compartment, she heard what appeared to
blow or fall, and, looking round, saw a man drab" glO
woman along the floor, and trying to get her out
observed Mr. Lewis at that time seated a!vo
table with his head on the seat. Blood
flowing from his nose, and he seemed to be. de;il3
When he called for the gin and peppermint for hull:ace,
the woman there was no mark of any kind on lot
Thomas Berry, detective of the P division, said ,„e
having received information of what had • taken l
at the Castle Tavern, and that the man Buonoineate
concerned in it, he proceeded in search of him. .4rre,
making several inquiries at his house and elsevcr.oo
he found him at seven o'clock on Thursday l
ob
washing himself in the yard of the I:'`ci
Hood public-house, Leather-lane, Holborn. He eal,tba
bim, John, I have to take you in charge for causin
death of a man at Camberwell last night." Buonoi
replied, " Very well, I'll go with you. I did no oleo
than any other man would have done. In going 11°100
six o'clock I found my wife absent. I walked into 01J
Camberwell-road, where I saw my wife and thei,eo
man walking, laughing, and talking together. I saw t''to
go into the Castle Tavern, and I went in also, going '0
another compartment. I saw my wife and the old.foo
still laughing and talking together. I could stand 14
longer, and went round to the compartment in which tlit,
were. The old man said, " Oh, how are you ?" I strAe
my wife in the face. The old man said, " Don't OP-00
the woman," and got up. I then stuck the avi
man in the face three or four times, `-op
he fell back on his seat with his head .40
the table and his nose bleeding. I had no ,I`,'lje
about his being dead. I then dragged my wife out or.Lj
place, and wanted her to go home, but she would not, 5e
returned into the house. I then went home." 0110
road to the station-house he said he had frequently,
,Iv„oo
a tenant of the old man, found his wife and the 01,..,;-,0
together, and had threatened them that if they (1,-,_u
cease their intimacy it would be worse for them kntil
On arriving at the station Buonoino was charged
having caused the death of William Lewis.
Mr. Edwin Chabot, surgeon, said all the internal orgeor
were healthy, and there was nothing to account
ciet
death. There was a slight effusion of blood isitbe
the scalp, under the external bruise on
forehead. There was no fracture of the 0'
but upon removing the membrane of the brain, a I,it
quantity of coadjulated blood was discovered exten;ry
along the whole base of the brain to the spinal cord. ,-`0,3
blood had proceeded from a rupture of some of the h'
vessels of the brain, which, pressing upon the spinal
had led to almost instantaneous death. The rupt*
were the result of extensive violence from blows. het
Coroner having summed up, the jury returned aver
of manslaughter against John Buonoino.

lodgings, and then he missed his pocket-book. 11°
for awhile stunned at his loss, but he recovered hilii,"oB
and went in search of a policeman. After some vc
they found the prisoners at another Pllb,,J.
