THE PAPAL ZOUAVES IN LIVERPOOL.

A Liverpool correspondent writes s—The Papal Zouaves
who arrived in Liverpool on Friday evening, on board the
Italian steamer India, from Leghorn, were conspicuous
objects of attention in the town on Saturday, which they
visited in all directions, their peculiar regimentals
attracting general notice, while the fallen cause
with which they had been identified was made the
subject of varying comment. Amongst the Catholic
community, the martial visitors have been regularly lion-
ised. The 210 Canadian Zouaves who remained on board
the vessel on Friday night came on shore on Saturday,
and added considerably to the interest created by the
arrival of the party. They were, for the most part, fine-
looking men, and, judging from appearances, not
deficient in esprit de corps. The arrangements for
extending hospitality to the new-comers are of a most
comprehensive character, as far as the Catholic body is
concerned. Instead of allowing the Zouaves to purchase
comforts at an inn, the members of their own communion
have had them quartered upon themselves. Major
Blundell has taken fifty of them as his guests, Colonel
Bidwell twenty-fivo, while various other Catholics
have taken smaller numbers under their hospitable
roofs. On Sunday the Zouave uniform was very
conspicuous amongst the congregations of the various
Catholic chapels, and allusions to them and their cause
were made in the course of some of the sermons delivered.
The conduct of the men has been excellent. It is antici-
pated that many of these men will find their way into the
ranks of the French army.

The Chamber of Agriculture Journal, in announ-
cing that his Grace the Duke of Cleveland has accepted
the office of President of the Shropshire Chamber of Agri-
culture for the ensuing year, adds : "In thus signifying
his interest in the operations of Chambers of Agriculture,
his Grace has also paid a well-earned compliment to one
of the most efficient Chambers in the country."
Mr. John _Ruskin, M.A., the new Professor of
Fine Art in the University of Oxford, will give a course
of six lectures during the months of November and
December in the museum of that place, "On the
Elementary Principles of Sculpture." The professor's
inaugural and subsequent lectures on the relation of art
to religion, morals, and use, and on line, height, and
colour have been published, and we understand have a
ready sale.
Mn. DISRAELL—Mr. Disraeli, accompanied by
Vicouutess Beaconsfield, Lord George Hamilton, and the
Duchess of Cleveland, arrived at Knowsley Hall, Liver-
pool, on Monday, on a visit to the Earl of Derby. It is
expected that advantage will be taken of Mr. Disraeli's
presence to induce him to address the Conservative party
in Lancashire, who have long been anticipating a visit
from him, and are anxious to hear him express his opinions
among them.
