A conference of congregational ministers and laymen was held yesterday at the London Tavern, under the presidency of Mr. S. MORLEY. There were also pre sent Mr. Baines, M.P., Sir F. Crossley, M.P., the Rev. Dr. tinwin, the Rev. J. Stoughton, the Rev. J. Mac dougall, the Rev. Mark Wilks, Mr. Warburton, of Man chester, &c. Ultimately a motion was agreed to, expressing the con viction of the meeting as to the inestimable value of re ligious instruction in training the young, and its belief that instruction can be best reconciled with the rights of conscience and civil liberty if left to the free action of the supporters of schools, and not required by public au thority. The resolution further required that the aid granted to school a should be granted impartially for the ascer tained results of secular teaching, in harmony with the re• commendations of tLe commission of 1858. A resolution approving of the conscience clause in the case of schools aided by parliamentary grants was also agreed to, and the meeting then broke up with the usual compliment to the chairman. UNIVERSITY OF LONDON. Last night a meeting of the convocation of this university was held at Burlington-house, for the purpose of offering for their acceptance the supplemental charter, recently granted by the crown, to enable the university to institute examination and grant certificates of examina tions in literature, science, and art to women. The chair was taken by Dr. ffroitamt, who in opening the proceedings said that the meeting was one of a formal character, but before anything was done he wished to remind convocation that at a meeting of the senate on the 23rd of October they received the supplemental charter to be brought forward that evening and accepted it therefore, as no notice of amendment had been given, he presumed the decision of the senate would be ratified. The charter bad been engrovied,and could ho inspected by any member. He bad further to inform them that Dr. Car penter had prepared lithograph plans of the elevation of the proposed new building, which could be seen on the conclusion of the proceedings of the evening. Mr. CHARM; moved the reception of a report from the annual committee as to the supplemental charter. He ad mitted that it introduced a new feature into the university, but the charter magma teal st the suggestion of Convocation, and be believed it was in accordance with the resolution palmed in 1866. Some years ago the question was raised whether an examination of women should take place, in consequence of the application of a lady to be admitted to a medical degree. At first the opinion of the university' was against such a proposition, but in May, 1866 that was considerably modified, and the result was the adoption of the charter now under consideration, The question of education was pressed on the country generally, and it' would be absurd that while that was the case as regarded youths, young women should be excluded from its benefits. It was well known that young girls had been examined in the University of Cambridge more than a year ago with great advantage, especially in arithmetic, and he trusted that this university would follow the example set by Cambridge. No regulation as to the age of the girls to be examined was fixed by the charter, but it was the opinion of the annual committee that none should be examined under seventeen. (Hear, hear.) They bad nothing what ever to do on the present amnion with the examination of women for a medical degree, but merely in literature, science, and mt. He therefore moved the reception of the report, hoping that the convocation would follow the example of the senate, and accept the charter unani mously. Dr. SIBSON, in seconding the motion, reminded convo cation that the question was one of great importance, and that generally speaking the mother was the parent who educated children. It was therefore desirable that females should be educated in the highest degree. Unfortunately, hitherto, female education bail been neglected in this country, with the most deplorable results. This university had now in its hands the power of giving a great stimulus to female education, and he believed that within twenty' years the benefits which would be conferred upon the public by the university accepting and acting on the charter would become apparent to all. (Rear, hear.) The motion for the adoption of the report was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN next moved the following resolution : " That convocation accepts the supplemental charter, dated the 27th of August, 1867, which has been granted by her M.ijesty to the university " The motion for the acceptance of the charter was carried unanimously, and the prc emdings terminated. THE SEAMY SIDE OF THE CHASUBLE.—It is very hard, iu these days of universal curiosity, to maintain anything in merely conventional respect, and already the " glorious v,stmente," the "beautiful garments " of our ritualists, are suffering the common lot. A large collec tion of these dreams, which it is profanity so much as to'. touch without the preparation of prayer, has been ex posedthe vulgar gaze on the wall s of lifes;rs.Debenham, E tr to r, and Sons' auction room, as if they were so many theatrical properties, and yesterday were actually disposed of under the hammer. It is sad to state that their manu facture in excess of the requirements of the clergy had been the cause of a difficulty, the vestments having been gold to cover an advance. The catalogue contained 350 lots, and comprised superb sets of priests' vest ments for high and low mama, made up of costly materials, and decorated in a most sumptuous manner ; rich banners, , magnificent cloth of gold, brocade, damask, ecclesiastical lace, Ac. The sale attracted a large attendance. Among the leading items may be mentioned—a set of Gothic vest ments, of the form used in the eleventh century, which sold for 5/. ; a magnificent cope, of cloth of gold, 51. 10s. ; the materials for a costly set of vestments, for high masa, of splendid white silk moire antique, embroidered in gold, 7.21. ls. • a costly crimson silk velvet cope, richly em broidered and lined with scarlet silk, 25/. 4s. ; the mate rials for a costly set of vestments, of cloth of gold, richly embroidered, 171.

The bulletin of the Moniteur du Soir declares that the essentially pacific character of the Em peror's speech has produced a deep impression, and the peoples and governments behold therein a new proof of an exalted policy. " The language," it says, " used by his Majesty inspires all Europe with sentiments of confidence in the future." The Etenclord denies the statement of some con tinental journals that Servia has addressed an ultimatum to the Porte. The same journal says that the government yes terday submitted to the Council of State a fresh project on the reorganization of the army. The project has been approved, and will shortly be communicated to the Legislative Body. On Friday the bureaux will examine the three interpellationa of which M. Jules Fevre has given notice, as also a fourth, signed by MM. Larrabure, Chernelovy, and others, upon the consequences of the second expedition to Rome as affecting the temporal power. On Monday requests for permission to make in terpellations will probably be discussed in the Senate. Prince Napoleon will be one of the speakers. ROME. ROME, Nov. 19. A ministerial decree has been issued, under the Pope's sanction, summarily dismissing all func tionaries In the Roman States having committed any hostile act against the Papal government during the late movement. Cardinal Andrea has been summoned by a Pon tifical decree to surrender at Rome not later than the 29th December, under penalty of deprivation of his cardinal's rank and other dignities. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Nov. 20, EYZNING. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies Herr von Forkenbeck was elected President by 280 out of 317 votes. Herr von Ki ller was elected First Vice-President by 168 votes, and Herr von Bennigsen Second Vice-President by 149 votes. Herr Luker brought forward a motion proposing to quash the trial of Herr Twesten by a special law, and to modify Article 84 of the Prussian constitution, so as to make it consistent with the constitution of the North German Confederation. BERLIN, Nov. 20, EVENING. The semi-official Provincial Correspondence of this evening, in an article upon the speech of the Emperor Napoleon at the opening of the French Chamber, says :—" The Emperor's speech is a frank confirmation of the words uttered by the King of Prussia, that the object of the German movement is a peaceful one. All Germans will hear with satisfaction of the language used by the Emperor respecting Germany, and will recognise in it a pledge of peace all the more readily, that even , during the recent excitement the German people had never any thought of attacking the interests or dignity of other nations. No govern ment or political party in Germany aimed at aught but increased asia.idt y a, and means of energetic defence. They have only de sired to obtain national unity as a defensive power, and they will greet the words of the Emperor 'Napoleon at the present moment with all the more satisfaction since the sovereigns of France and Prussia recently exchanged, through the medium of Austria, assurances of their solicitude for the peaceful development of Europe." The article concludes by declaring that if the hopes of the present moment attain to fulfilment, the time will set in for a new peaceful revival of prosperity. The Provincial Cur ' respnulence also confirms that the French invita tions to the Conference were issued last week, and states that negotiations will now commence between the great powers respecting the preliminary bases upon which the conference should meet, in order to insure a probability of successful results. The Official Gazette publishes the text of a treaty concluded between France and Prussia on the 18th of July respecting the construction of a rail way between Saarbriicke and Saargemilnd, which will form a connecting link between the network of railways of both countries. THE EAST. MARSEILLES, Nov. 20. Intelligence from Athens, dated the 14th inst., announces that the Union had arrived there after having accomplished her eleventh successful voyage to Candia, taking out provisions and bringing back families. French, Prussian, and Russian vessels continued to bring away families from the island. The Greek ministry, which had been vigorously attacked by the opposition in the Chamber, had twice obtained a majority of more than 45 votes. SPAIN. MADRID, Nov. 20.

Tue BOMBAY MAIL.—By the arrival of this mail, yesterday, we have advice, from Bombay to October 30, from Calcutta to the 23rd, and from Madras to October 23. The chief news of interest relates to the Abyssinian expedition, full particulars of which will be found in another column. It is not so much that the tricolour oired, white, and blue keeps out for a time the tricolour of red, white, and green, as that the Romans have lost a chance of striking for their freedom which should discourage their friends abroad. In a few years, perhaps in a few months, this difficult question be tween Italy and France will be settled so as to hoist the rival tricolours in their proper domains. But this will not of itself make a healthy public feeling in Rome, from a national, Italian point of view ; and we may gather from recent events that the national party is far weaker than was sup posed. There are too many Romans who are priests and monks, too many who are in exile or in prison, the lower class is too much degraded, the upper alms too much held in check, for the city to respond to the call of her Italian sisters. Those precious moments of early October when Napoleon was as yet unprepared for intervention, and when the Romans had a clear fortnight's start of the Emperor, were not used to advantage. Such efforts as were made by a few desperate men to injure the Papal troops in the city could only bring discredit Mee% Va 1 principles, whilst of a bold popular uprising there was no sign. Borne down by weight of priestly influence, and daunted by the presence of an armed force which they could not hope to win over, the people let slip their oppor tunity, and when Garibaldi arrived within a short distance of the gates they failed to throw them open for his reception. I should rather say that they had failed to try to throw them open, for it was a Serious task, and might well have been bloodily thwarted. Yet even then th.l fact of a struggle in the streets, of a Mentana between Et- Peter's' and the Capitol, would have placed the whole question in another light to the eyes of Eu rope, and given promise to Italy of finding new strength in Rome instead of additional embarrass ment. Though we may regret that the wrong tri colour waves over the guard-house of St. Angelo and over the heads of the crowd in the Corso, it is far worse that this crowd of priests and policemen, of foreigners, market folk, and mendicants, does not form a population worthy the name of Rome or the dreams of so many Italian patriots. And all is over for the time being in presence of yonder bright-coloured flag. I can scarcely realise that the French have gone away and returned again, fought a battle with Garibaldi and tried their new weapons upon his brave young volun teers, since last I heard their drums and bugles in these narrow streets. Only • year ago the city was full of Frenchmen ; they seemed to belong to it as naturally as the grand old ruins, and to-day the Ulna uniforms are back again in their former haunts. There is a red-trousered sentry at the Coliseum, and another red-trousered sentry, supported by a strong detachment of his country men, watches over the Antonine column. At every turn appear the shakos of the Gallic legionaries with a brass eagle on their front. Trim little chasseurs and gaily-dressed hussars, artillery drivers, and soldiers of the military train, stroll hither and thither to explore the city or march past duty gxpedition is complete i>y itself—an army ready for any emer gency. It has plentiful means of transport, and the men are in excellent condition. But I observe that several corps with whose uniforms • e are most familiar in modern French battle pieces are not here represented. The Zouaves and Turcos, for example, have remained at home, as has the Imperial Guard, and there are few Mexican or Italian ribbons to be seen on the soldiers' breasts. They are mostly young recruits, who have yet to win their decorations, and it is to be hoped that they will have a contest, if fight they must, with some antagonist better equipped to resist them than are just now the Italian troops, to say nothing of Garibaldian volunteers. Every Frenchman has in his hand the deadly Chaasepot rifle, with which the officers who saw its effect at Mentana are perfectly content ; and until Italy has at least one division armed with breech-loaders she must bide her time, no matter what the pro vocation. On my way hither from Florence I passed through Leghorn, and found that flourishing seaport strongly garrisoned. There were crowds of Italian soldiers in the streets and coffee houses, soldiers at the railway station, and soldiers in the trains. There had been visible a great activity of the war department at Florence, and there was no falling off of vigour at Leghorn. It seemed by the number of recruits arriving, and the various uniforms displayed in either city, that a concentration of force was taking place, perhaps with a view the better to negotiate with France, perhaps to overawe the more turbulent spirits who clamoured for vigorous measures. But apart from its military crowd, from regulars and irregulars, the latter a few red shirted lads, objects of kindly interest to their countrymen, apart from the whole question of national defence, vindication, or what not, Leghorn had its wonted commercial bustle. The shipping interest was represented by groups of noisy sailors, who sang: and shouted on their way until long after midnight. I caught the sound of British im precations, to remind me of our wide-spread indus try, and then I could distinguish a husky challenge to some one to " come on if he dared." Southward from Leghorn to Civita Vecchia and from Civita Vecchia to Rome, was a twelve hours' journey at the easy rumbling pace with which foreign travellers are content. It was noticeable that those who were going over the frontier were much more careful of speech than those who in tended to remain on Italian soil. There was an air of restraint about the former which showed that they wished to keep out of trouble, whilst the latter held forth bitterly against French occupa tion and the temporal power. I made sure that one irascible old gentleman was coming to Rome, for he talked to his neighbour of hotels in the city and of other practical details; but just when it seemed that he must be carried within reach of the very power which he so strongly denounced, the old gentleman alighted at a station and wished us good night. Presently we reached Civita Vecchia, stopping at a platform on which were scores of Frenchmen, in the heaviest of marching order, with all their belongings strapped upon their backs until it seemed a wonder that they could march at all. The Frenchmen took their seats for Rome—it did not appear that there was as yet any ebb of the military tide—and we rumbled calmly on to the Eternal City, having been, I must own, very moderately dealt with about luggage and passport. Whatever other reforms are wanting, even Rome has reformed her passport system. There is no charge for es mining them. Our last intelligence from Bombay brought us the intelligence that the advanced brigade of the Abyssinian expedition had left for Aden. By the Bombay mail which reached London yesterday we learn that the transports arrived at Aden on oo tober 16, with men, horses, and mules, all well. They were expected to stay there about a week, to take in water and coal, and to wait information as to the landing place, &c., from the pioneer party under Colonel Merewether and Colonel Wilkins of the Royal Engineers, who had preceded them. The landing place that has been selected is Zuls (the ancient Adouli.), a place situated on Annealey Bay, about twenty miles southward from Maasowah. The landing place having been selected, the party immediately set about constructing a landing jetty, and a number of buggalows are employed in bring ing stone from the opposite shore, there being none in the neighbourhood. The anchorage in Annesley Bay is considered excellent. There is said to be accommodation for almost any number of vessels, in six and a-half fathoms water, with sandy bottom the vessels being able to anchor within 300 yards of the shore. The land is described, by a correspondent of the Bombay Gazette, as a sandy plain, with some brushwood but so forest. Drinkable water is not procurable within 16 miles of the °oast, but at that distance a small stream of running water has been discovered by an exploring party, in one of the deep ravines which interment the country at right angles to the coast line. .The steamship Euphrates has been detained at Annealey Bay to condense water for the troops. Colonel Merewether's present instructions are that the ships are to carry as much water as possible and to proceed at once. It is fully expected that the cavalry and all the other troops that can be spared will be at once marched on disembarka tion to the high land where water is found. Large working parties will be required to land the stores and organise the different depots, and these will have to be supplied with water from the ships. The accounts of the climate state it to have been very hot, but tinarming ill tiiioporature dAily. A sea-breeze sets in about twelve o'clock each day, and it is delightfully cool until it ceases during the night. The country close to the coast abounds in large and small game. Hares, partridges, &c., were shot in great numbers. Deer were easily stalked, and the pugs of lions and other large game had been observed daily. Colonel Merewe ther is said to have shot an elephant within 40 yards of the place at which he landed ; indeed some reports state that the animal opposed his landing. The following letter, received from the Pioneer force in Abyssinia by a gentleman in Bombay, is published by the Times of India: Camp, near Ulla, Annesley Bey, Ott. 9. My Dear —,—The Coromandel leaves to-day for Aden, so I write you a line to tell you we arrived here on the 4th, and have just had our first breakfast on shore. On leaving Bombay we had heavy seas and head winds, and it was " a toss up " whether we should reach Aden. Now we are awfully unsettled. We are about a mile from the sea, on a level plain. Our water supply is in a few pools, and it is like mud. It will only last two days longer, and the, Heaven knows what we are to do ! There is no hope from wells, for one has been sunk and has failed. At five feet they got fresh water, at six feet brackish, and at twelve feet it was salt— below sea level I think. There are sheep and cattle, but the people do not care for selling them ; for milk we cannot pay, as we have no current coin, and so we exchange rice and grain. But of these, and of everything else, our supply is scanty. There are no commissariat stores for Europeans, so we cannot even get rations. Our prospects are not very encouraging till we pass this desert coast line of country. We expect the 3rd Light Cavalry and the 10th N. I. in about ten days, and I do not know where they will find water. Of forage there is none, so this must all come from Bombay. Nothing can be bought here. It is hot as blazes-9g to 98 degrees. On the voyage to Massowah the Euphrates struck on a sunken rock, but fortunately got oft; after a short delay, without injuring herself in the least. The Times of India says that great care has been exercised by Sir Robert Napier to have the trans port service as efficient as possible. " None but officers possessed of intelligence, vigour, and fore sight (it adds) have been appointed to it, and Captain Twentyman, of the 18th Hussars, has been selected for the command. Non-commissioned officers of the Madras Native Cavalry have also been applied for, and most useful they will be, if picked men. Failing them, even privates of the Native Cavalry have been asked for. All this evinces the desire of his excellency to render the Transport Corps a service of the first efficiency, and it is a compliment to the Madras Cavalry that appli cations to officer one of the most important branches of the Abyssinian army should have gone to that presidency." The same paper complains that the home govern ment has not left the management of the expedi tion entirely to the Bombay government, as it pro fessed to do, and states the result to be that double the expense has been incurred that would have been required. This statement is preceded by the fol lowing comments upon an appointment in connec tion with the transport service : As will, perhaps, already be known in England, Captain Tryon, R.N., has been sent out to Bombay, with a nume rous staff, to superintend something or other in connec tion with the transport service. No one knows exactly what particular operations Captain Tryon and his staff are to superintend; indeed, grave doubts have been ex pressed whether Captain Tryon has any very clear idea him self. Be this latter question as it may, it is highly satis factory to know that he has not as yet attempted to do multi in Bombay, and that there is every likelihood of his arri vi ng at the conclusion Out Zula,or some other place on thecoastof Africa, must have been intended as the scene of his opera tions by those who appointed him. Bleanwhile,in default of instructions from England, Capt. Tryon has determined upon sending • member of his staff on board each trans port, in what capacity is not known ; but it is to be hoped that they have received strict injunctions to abstain from all interference with matters which can be very much better attended to by those who have hitherto had the management of them. There is, perhaps, no reason what ever to doubt the ability of Captain Tryon. or any member of his numerous staff they may be in every way fitted to supervise and direct • transport service ten times as large as that which will ply between India and Abyssinia ; but for all that people cannot help inquiring the reason of their coming to Bombay. For this special service they are in no way to be compared with the officers of the old Indian navy who are on the spot. Even when Captain Tryon and his men proceed to Abyssinia, leaving matters at Bombay in the same very competent bands as they found them, it is im possible that they can prove themselves half so efficient or valuable as officers possessing an acquaintance with every foot of the coast, its anchorages, climate, and other pecu liarities, would be. This is one more illustration of the fact that the home government have incurred double the expense that would have been required had they left the conduct of the expedition entirely to the Bombay govern ment, as they professed to do. One of the chaplains to the force will be the Rev. C. H. Blinnhardt, who has been allowed by the Church Missionary Society to proceed to Abyssinia, his services having been asked for by Sir Robert Napier. Mr. Bluruhardt will be a valuable acquisition to the force, particularly on account of his knowledge of the country and his acquaintance with the Amharic language. Be has just compiled, at the request of the government of India, a hand-book to the Amharic language, containing a vocabulary in English, with Oordoo and Amharic and English and Amharic phrases, which will be invaluable to officers accompanying the expedition, Since the departure of the advance brigade the attention of the Bombay authorities has been chiefly devoted to the arrangements for the des patch of the Sind brigade, which will be under the command of Colonel Collings, her Majesty's 33rd Regiment. This brigade consists of her Majesty's 33rd Regiment, the 27th N. I. (Beloochees), and G. 14th R. A., in all 49 Euro pean commissioned officers, 4 warrant officers, 901 N. C., rank and file (European), 15 native com missioned officers 692 native N. C., rank and tile, 735 public and 245 private followers, 162 horses, and over a hundred bullocks. It will sail from Kurrachee early in November. A letter from the Egyptian correspondent of the Bombay Gazette states that it is proposed to lay down a submarine telegraph cable between Masao wah and a point on the opposite or Arabian shore of the Red Sea, whence the telegraph line will be prolonged overland so as to join the present line to India ff this scheme of direct telegraphic communication from Abyssinia with Bombay be carried out, we shall be enabled to obtain the moat speedy information from the Abyssinian field force, with the particulars of its every movement imme diately on their occurrence ; while, on the other hand the general in command will be able to com municate without delay with the Bombay govern ment, and in cane of sudden and unforeseen emergencies look back to Bombay as a point d'aui within the sphere of his field operations. The Bombay papers state that much jealousy ap pears to exist on the part of the other two presi dencies, especially Bengal, in consequence of the management of the expedition having been en trusted to the Bombay government. Yet the Bom bay Times declares the expenses incurred in connec tion with the despatch of the small Bengal Brigade will be from 00 to 100 per cent. heavier than those incurred by the Bombay authorities. " Ships for the conveyance of troops (it add') have 1 4 ..+411 ttrlr dering at Calcutta at from Rs. 16 to Its. 19-8 per ton per mensem, and most of them have been taken up at the higher rate. Now, in Bombay a very superior class of ships has been secured for Rs. 74 to Rs. 11 per ton a month ; and a still greater contrast exists in the case of steam vessels. Yet Calcutta grumbles, and abuses the home go sernment for entrusting the conduct of the expedi tion to Bombay, forgetting the manifold claims of the western presidency to be entrusted with the difficult duty, and the desirability of destroying that policy of excessive centralisation which is the bane of government in India." The latest news from the prisoners is dated Meg. dale, August 27, a month later than before. They were all well. Theodorus had met with a repubie from the rebels, which is thus referred to by the Bombay Gazette: We learn from reliable sources that a battle has taken place close to Magdala between King Theodore' and the rebels of that district of country. Theodorus has long been hemmed in on all sides by rebellious chiefs, who have shaken off his imperial rule, each constituting himself king in his own territory, or disputing the title with rivals of his own. The only province that remained faithful to him wasathe province of Begemeder on the eastern shore of °the Dembea lake, and the secret of its fidelity was probably that there, Theodorus being personally present, he overawed the population into fidelity. At that time his rule extended from a little beyond Gondar (which had been his capital until he transferred his centre of power to Debra Tabor) as far as Magdaa, which stood almost on the edge of the Wolk Gallas country, whose chief had shaken off the supremacy of Theodorus. In February last, even Begemeder, the sole remaining possession of Theodora, broke out into in surrection, and sines then it has gone from bad to worse. This insurrection was headed by a petty rebel chief who established himself somewhere along the fifty miles of road or country that separates Debra Tabor from Meg dale, even at that early date cutting off all communi cation between these two places. Communications, how ever, passed through at the end of May, but as nothing, so far as we understand, has been heard of or from the royal camp at Debra Tabor since the 20th of that month—it is certain that nothing was heard of Theodore' or the Debra Tabor and Gaffat prisoners for many weeks thereafter by the Magdaht prisoners or the British govern ment—it is evident that the petty rebel chief reterred to has been able to hold his own against Theodore'. The Begemeder peasants, however, have also risen in insurrec tion, and the last spot of Abyssinian ground that Theodo re' can call his own is in anarchy up to the very gates of Debra Tabor. _ THE MEDITERRANEAN. (FROM Orli OWN CORRDIPONDENT.) MALTA, Nov. 14, There is nothing to record in the way of naval movements or intelligence, except the arrival yesterday ravening of her Majesty's steam storeship Supply, Com mander Bowden, from Deptford and Gibraltar, with stores and provisions for the dock and victualling-yards. She encountered rather stormy weather, and took nix teen days in performing the voyage out. Rear-Admiral H. Kellett, C. 8., superintendent of her Majesty's dockyard at this island, is about to be relieved, as he stands first on the list for promotion to the rank of vice-admiral. It is currently reported here that Rear- Admiral E. Ommanney will most likely succeed Admiral Kellett. Telegraphic communication between Malta and Alexan dria is still interrupted, to the serious detriment of com mercial interests. The telegraph steamer Hawk i■ at work in the vicinity of Tripoli repairing the faulty portion of the cable. The English ships-of-war in port are the Caledonia, 35, flag ship of Vice-Admiral Lord C. Paget ; the Enterprise, 5 (both iron-clads) ; and the despatch moil Psyche. The Hon. R. C. Legh, auditor-general In Malta, and Cap tain W. A. Atcherley, 2nd battalion Bth Foot, returned to this island this morning from Marseilles. Colonel 11. P. Goodenough, 11. A., just appointed colonel on the staff in command of the artillery force in Malta, is expected here in the early part of next month. Colonel R. C. Romer is now in temporary command of the force.

MASSOWA H.—A suggestion was made yesterday in the House of Commons, that instead ofaending an army to fight Theodorus, we abould seize Massowah or some other part of Abyssinia, and bold it until the captives are released. It appears, however, from the blue-book that Massowali is claimed by the Egyptian government, which has despatched a force thither, and although it is doubtful whether the claim can be substantiated, it is certain that Theodorus would uo more care for our seizing Massowah, provided we did not make the base of it our advance, than if we seized one of the Sandwich Islands. We hear that Mr. H. F. Blandford, of the Indian geological survey, will accompany the Abyssinian expedi tion as geologist, and that hie instructions are to search for traces of coal. — Calcutta End wham'', Oct. Z. The Indian police is undergoing recision. Under the new formation it will be deprived of its semi-military character, and will consist of a body of oonstabulaiy with a reserve of military police.
