After d'Affaires, Herr Von Pfuaterschmied, wife, dined yesterday at the royal table at the the cholera had broken out in the place, a rumour Castle of Pillnitz. Baron Von Beust was received somehow got abroad accusing a man named Antonio by the Crown Prince of Saxony to-day, and by Savellino as the cause of promulgating the disease. Prince George yesterday. An armed and furious band of individuals intent on vengeance marched to the unfortunate man's house, which they broke into, when during their search (on the scent after poison, which they supposed to be hidden somewhere out of sight) they by mishap placed their hands on a pot of paste, which Savellino had prepared for the de struction of rats. " Here is the poison ! We have it ! We have found it! There cannot any longer be a doubt of it !" yelled frantically the human fiend who had just then caught sight of the paste pot. Some portion of its contents was in an I instant given to a dog, who naturally soon after died from the effects of the poison. This was the signal for the immediate massacre of three un fortunate creatures—Sabellino, and two of his companions, chance visitors who happened to be with him at the time, who, as well as himself, were forthwith fiercely butchered by the crowd, the latter as the supposed accomplices to the "Poi soning Infamy" of which Sabellino was accused. The few carabineers stationed within the town were unable to make head against the maddened and indignant crowd, who, after this fearful deed had been enacted, declared their intention of ruliag by mob law " for a week." During the confusion and agitation incident upon such an event troops arrived from Potence. But the city gates had been closed, and the angry populace were preparing to fire through the loop-holes in the wall on the troops when a spirited young officer (Captain Juelfi, of the Royal Carabineers), espying a bye-road into the town, rode in at full gallop and brought himself up aline right on the rear of the mob. Taken thus suddenly by • surprise, admiration at this single man's bravery burst at once from the crowd, who cheered him, uttering the cry of " Viva Vittorio Emanuele !" and afterwards dispersed, thus making an end to the tumult. The next day several officers of justice came over from Potence, and made 39 arrests amongst the principal and most daringof the rioters. At Leone, in the province of Asellino, the people, under the supposition that a certain fountain had been poisoned, tumultuously insisted on a public analysis of its waters. At Messina the cholera continues to afflict the population. Most l of the higher official authorities in the city have fallen victims to the disease. Baron Natoli, whose life has long been in jeopardy from the same cause, is at length out of danger. The troops stationed at Messina have received public thanks (on report of their admirable conduct) in an order of the day lately published, signed by General Medici, commander-in-chief of the troops in Sicily. In addition to this honourable public encomium, the Marquis Rudini publishes a letter (on his departure from his high post as Prefect of Palermo), addressed likewise to Gene ral Medici, the purport of which is to express his admiration and eulogistic praise on the manner in which the royal troops have behaved through out every district of the island of Sicily, in their care of the sick and infirm—for the bravery, courage, energy, and the charitable abnegation of every selfish feeling which has distinguished the performance of their duty in whatsoever depart ment that duty ran. A medal of honour has lately been instituted for rewarding such individuals, male or female, as have distinguished themselves in the care of cholera patients.

Four young doctors have vo lunteered their services (two amongst them are of Greek origin). Their stipend is to be at the rate of 16/. sterling per month. They have been engaged until the month of October. Two days ago the new and splendid gallery, to which the name of " Vittorio Emanuele " has been ap plied, and the foundation of which was laid in March, 1865, by the King himself, was opened to the public, under the auspices of his Majesty and several of the higher dignitaries of the realm. A speech was read on the occasion, both by the syndic and the representative of the English Society (City of Milan Improvements Company, Limited), itself located in London, whose capital and intelligent directive impulse have produced such excellent results. This gallery, unique in its way, both in regard to its dimensions and beauty, is considered to be a marvel of de corative art. It contains statues, paintings, stuc coes, marble, and mosaics, in what might be considered a bewildering profusion, were tho whole arrangement of the building and decora tion not presided over by the soundest taste. Above 2,000 gas jets give this beautiful build ing its brilliancy at night ; no less than ninety-two large, airy, and handsome shops are contained within its centre. To these are an nexed vast subterraneous vaults for purposes of stowage. These magazines or stores are accessible by circularly shaped iron-built stairs. The vaults are about four metres in height. The pavement is formed from a fusion of metallic lava, manufactured in the well-known Frage fabric. Great rejoicings took place at Milan on the opening of the gallery, and the city was decorated with flags and banners as fora public fete. Yesterday, favoured by splendid weather, the grand prize was run for at the Caacinc, and won by St. Joseph, the Marquis Constabili horse. The sum awarded was 12,000 f. The third race was won by the King's horse, Tilly's Friend. The prize, however, destined to the winner of that course was, by a previous arrangement (suggested by his Majesty), awarded to the "second best" courser. It therefore fell to the share of the Marquis Sciamanna, whose horse, Done Again, was the winner of the race. - - --- THE TYROL. (FROM ♦ COMLICSPONDIINT.) LOTZLN, Szrr. 14. A meeting of some importance has just broken up at Innsbruck. It was a Conference of the Catholic Verein, in which the priests and high flying laity of Southern Germany, Austria, the Tyrol, and Northern Italy united, under the presidency, strange to record, of a Prussian catholic layman. rho greater part of the subjects discussed were of course questions of religion, dogma, papal pretensions, and the necessity of union amongst catholics. But the real object of the assemblage was, it is confidently believed, of eminently political. It is to combine tho catholics of Southern Germany, of the Austrian States, and of Italy, against the further extension of protestant and Prussian power in Germany. You will not find this object plainly avowed in the speeches made ; nor, perhaps, were all the persons who took part in the Conference aware of what was really meant. But there is, I am assured, no doubt whatever that the movers of the meeting aimed at checking, if possible, the progress of Prussia and prolestantism in Germany, by uniting its catholic population in support of Austria, and in defence of the prolonged existence of the kingdom of Bavaria. They desire to convert a purely political into an essentially religious and ecclesiastical question, re gardless of re-exciting in Germany those terrible passions and hatreds which devastated it during the thirty years war, and arrested its progress from the Peace of Westphalia, until the House of Bran denburg began to rehabilitate their territories, and to set an example which to this hour the House of Hapsburg has not had the sense to follow. The priestly party in Bavaria, Austria, tho Tyrol. mean mischief ; of that be quite assured ; and of their intention this Conference of Innsbruck is the first step. How far this object is fomented or promoted from Vienna must, of course, be matter of suspi cion only. But it was a crafty suggestion to place in the president's chair a Prussian lay catholic. The choice has not, however, deceived or misled any one who looks beneath the surface. The Conference lasted for several days, and ended aton the 13th of September by a banquet the Hotel d'Autriche, at which no fewer than 200 members of the Verein were present, and in the evening by the performance of Haydn's "Creation" in the riding-school of the capital of the Tyrol, which was crowded to excess. The speeches at the banquet were short and incisive ; the toasts were received by salvoes of guns and bursts of music. The priests tilled Innsbruck for several days, coming from all parts at low rates of railway fares, and largely increased in numbers by the line just opened across the Brenner Pass. The holy men were, generally speaking, tall, brawny, athletic, red-faced, greasy looking, with long black coats ill brushed, and tall fluffy hats of huge dimensions. They looked frank, hearty, good sort of fellows, glad to see each other, chatty and familiar, but to all appearance of very little cultivation or learn ing ; just the sort of men to have and exercise great influence over a peasantry inclined from tra dition to bo influenced by priests. The pressure at the railitay station next morn ing, Friday, the 13th, was enormous, for the trains to Salzburg and Botzen start almost about the same time ; and foremost in the pushing, rushing, storming of the ticket windows were these un fragrant, unshaved priests. Coal-heavers could nut have pressed forward more vigorously, but with good humour; and all their efforts were a waste of time and endurance, for, of course, the trains waited until every applicant was supplied with tickets _ Then, en route to Botzen, nothing could be more uneasy than the holy men : out of the carriages they rushed at every station, buying fruit, bread, and edibles ; swallowing hastily beakers of coarse wine, and pouring into rooms in the stations like an invading army ; gradually, however, we dropped them, and off they went trudging up the mountains to their various cures of souls, there, no doubt, to repeat i❑ a coarser and ruder form such of the lessons they learnt at Innsbruck as they comprehended and carried home. The line across the Brenner Pass, some GO miles long, is a very creditable piece of work. It is solidly and substantially though in parts appa rently roughly made, and has been laid out with consummate skill. The contractors were German, the prices of English contractors, who were first applied to, being far too high to be accepted, and the line has up to its present point been very cheaply made. The curves are of course numerous, and some of them very awkward, but the trains are most carefully driven, the engines are of great strength, and have a driving-wheel well adapted to their work. Despite some formidable looking precipices, danger there is none. At present the line is a single one ; but the traffic is already so encouraging that another line of rail will be at once laid down. The amount of goods carried is already very large indeed, and the depOta are full of com modities waiting their turn. In short the line of railway across the Brenner Pass will, it may be re- SPAIN. Queen Christina is expected shortly at Madrid. A rumour is current that an arrangement will shortly be arrived at on the question now pending between Spain and Columbia relative to the capture of the Cuyler. MALTA. VALETTA, Seri. 20.

Botzen is a very flourishing town, and no won der, when its advantageous position as an entrepa and the fertility of the country around it are con sidered. Some of the inhabitants fear, however, that the railway will interfere with its depot trade. There is literally nothing that does not grow to perfection around Botzen. From here to Meran is one long suxession of vineyards, apple and pear orchards, fruits, flowers, and grain of all kinds and descriptions. Munich, Vienna, the various towns of Northern Italy, and even distant Moscow, are supplied with fresh fruit from Botzen. The number of travellers who pass through Botzen is large, and will, of course, now greatly increase ; but on looking over the nationalities of the stran gers' book at the principal and excellent hotel— the Kaiser Krone—the English travellers who rest here bear a very small proportion to the general aggregate. There is, however, • solitary English gentleman permanently residing in the town. It is at Botzen that the Italian element of the Tyrol comes into serious competition with the Ger man population, and seems to have the better of it. The Italians are said to be better workpeople here, more industrious, dependable, and better tempered. They are, too, more frugal and tem perate in their habits, live principally on palmed, which the Germans will not eat, and are much more economical in every respect. The two races do not amalgamate very well ; and it may be here after that clashing nationalities will produce harm in the Tyrol. THE SOCIAL SCIENCE CONGRESS AT BELFAST. SECTION B.— Eocc.triolr. Dr. ANDRZWS presided in this department. The room was crowded, and considerable interest was manifestal in the proceedings. A good number of persons desirous of being present were unable to get admission. Amongst those present were—The Lord Bishop of Down and Connor and Dromore, the Moderator of the General Assembly (Rev. J. Montgomery), and Charles Lanyon, M.P. The special question for discussion was " What is the best method for educating the idiotic and imbecile, and ought the State to subsidize educational establishments for such persons ?" Dr. W. M'Cormac read a paper contributed by Mr. J. Langdon H. Donn M.D., who was unable to attend. The contributor said he believed the greatest proportion of idiocy was to be found amongst the lower *lames— amongst those who are constantly engaged in a struggle for existence. The first necessity of an idiot was to give him companionship. Any system pretending to be efficient should combine medical„ phykical, moral, and intellectual treatment. It should be founded on a beats of medicine. The surroundings of an establishment for the cure of idiots should be agreeable. It was impossible to improve the physical condition without also improving the brain. The influence of discipline and training bad a very appreciable effect on the mental condition of the subject. Corporal punishment should be avoided, and a kindly tact should be exercised by the teacher. Self support should be in every way encouraged. He strongly contended that pauper idiots should be provided for by the counties, but should never be treated in the lunatic asylums. He advo cated voluntary effort to provide fur the wants of these unfortunate persons. Mr. Lambert, one of the secretaries, read a paper con tributed by Mr. Martin Duncan, M.D., of Essex Hall, on the same question. Dr. G. H. Kidd read a paper on the same subject. He said he regretted there was no institution in Ireland for the care of idiots exclusively, and they could not, there fore, speak from personal experience. He quite agreed I with former speakers that the system of herding lunatics avid idiots together was most objectionable. Dr. Kidd entered into statistics of idiots in the United Kingdom, with a view of showing that there was no real provision made for their necessities. At the last census there were 7,033 idiot' in Ireland ; of these 5,075 were at large, either wanderers or under the care of their friends ; 403 were in asylums, 934 in workhouses, and 21 in prisons. The writer referred to the proposed establishment in Dublin, started under the auspices of. Lord KintbeeleY, and sup ported by the present lord-lieutenant. Under such aus pices it could not fail ; but there was still a deficiency of funds amounting to some 3,000/. which he appealed hope fully to the public to subscribe. The address was very favourably received, and the speaker sat down amid gene ral applause. Dr. Skse said the best method for educating the idiotic and imbecile was to be gathered from the papers, The greatest treat he thought was a visit to such an institution as Earisfort, where there were some hundreds of happy boys and girls. He thought it a purely philanthropic pursuit, and neither state nor parochial endowment was • fair demand. The community should take the first step in this matter, and perhaps the state might in some way supplement the effort. (Bear, hear.) The Bishop of Down said the state should make ar rangements for the idiot pauper. (Hear, hear.) He thought the asylums should be erected by public sub scription, and these institutions should be then en dowed by the government through the rates on the county. He thought the voluntary efforts of the philan thropic would make up the deficiency of a small rate. He hoped the work would be proceeded with at once. Dr. Braeebridge, Birmingham, very briefly referred to the efforts now being made in England. Mr. Lanyon, M.l'., spoke to the question. He pro mised them, whenever the question of state support mine before parliament, is should have his warmest support. Dr. Arnold contended that the condition of the pauper idiots in this country was most disastrous and discreditable. A voluntary paper, " On the Condition of the Deal and Dumb," was read by the Rev. John Kiugham. HZAITII. Dr. LaffItESTER, coroner for Middlesex, presided in this department. The especial question for discussion was— " What measures are necessary to secure efficiency and uniformity in the working of the Sanitary Laws throughout the kingdom ?" Mr. W. H. Michael rend a paper on the subject. He assumed that a uniform system of health legislation should apply to all parts of England and Wales ; that the system should be compulsory ; that a central body, or ministry of public health, should be established in all cases, to direct local action, and to act as a court of appeal, and hat the whole of the kingdom should be divided into districts—each district to be under the control of one local authority, which should have attached to it a medical officer of health. The object of health legislation should comprise prevention and removal of nuisances, regu lation and supervision of dwelling-houses, the making and keeping in repair of roads and streets, water supply, public lighting, and, where necessary, private lighting; effecting public improvements, and directing private lighting ; establishment and supenision of markets, super vision of food, and providing baths and wash•housee, public recreation grounds, and burial grounds. The writer was of opinion that a general system was required, under which it would be impossible that defects should be unrecognised or no steps taken to provide a remedy. He contended that in conserving public health culpable negligence of sanitary precaution must be remedied by some supreme authority ; and where it was for the good of an extended district that combined works should be undertaken, the central authority should have power to compel those dis tricts so to be benefited to join in the work, and to share pro rata in the expense. In conclusion, the writer suggested that what was at present required in order to secure efficiency and uniformity in the working of the sanitary laws throughout the kingdom was their con solidation and the adoption of means to enforce them. Mr. Caulfield and Mr. Elliott also read papers on the same subject, and a discussion of same length ensued. sEcnox IL-ECONOMY A 713 TRADE. In 'him section the special question for consideration was, " Can any measures be taken to develop and extend the manufactures of Ireland?" Mr. John Mulholland, J.P., presided. • • -- The first paper on the subject was read by Mr. Wm. Ewart, juu., J.P. After some introductory remarks, he said :—lt had been said that flax exhausted the soil. On this subject be would give them the opinion of Dr. Hodges, than whom there was not a greater authority. That gentleman said that "if it were rightly managed, flax' would be one of the least exhaustive crops grown by far men. Flax was peculiarly suited to the soil of Ire land." The same authority stated that Ireland possessed ad vantages which, if her fields were previously cultivated, would enable her to produce more fibre than would meet the wants of Europe. The American markets would take a great deal of their produce, and they might supply the English and continental markets, as Irish flax was much superior to that grown on the continent. It was math factory to know that through the means of the Flax Extension Society, efforts were being made to develop this branch of industry ; and he Moped they would succ e ed in stimulating the production of the flax crop in the south. In referring to flax spinning, the writer said that the enoourageinent that the government had for centuries given to the spinning of linen yarn had not been attended with much success until 1b28.9, when the spinning of flax was commenced on an extensive scale. From that time to the present the progress of the trade had been such that there were now SO mills with 80,000 spindles, erected at a cost of 4,500,000/. There was no want of mercantile enterprise in this branch of the trade. He next referred to [TWOPENCE the linen manufacture in all its branches. and to the great improvements that had been effected in the trade by the introduction of steam-power looms. At the present time there were 12,000 power looms at work in Ireland. As a means of further developing this trade, he would suggest that an inquiry aheuld be instituted with re to the partial clothing of the troops and the in work houses with Irish linens. Mr. Swart next tided to the Irish woollen trade, and stated that at present there were 40 mills at work in Ireland, employing about 1,000 hands in the manufacture of woollens. The U•ade was beginning to show some signs of recovery. Extra encouragement was required for this trade, and he would rejoice that the suggestion made by Mr. Baker—namely, that the Irish constabulary should be clothed with Irish woollens—should be carried into effect. Mr. Y. H. Burgess read a paper on " Flax Extension in Ireland." He said—Let us take • typical Irishman on flax wing intent, and let us name him ' Paddy Blake." Pad lives somewhere in Munster or Connaught. He has nerd of the fortunes made by flax, and re solves to try his hand at it. To such • roam as ploughing in the autumn, to give the soil the benefit of the winter's frosts, he is • total stranger. It follows that there is no subsequent cross-ploughing to clean the land. The soil, thus tilled with weeds, is, more over, undrained, or the drains are so unskilfully made as to be worse than useless. Paddy's purchase of seed is far from promising, for he gets it from a man who keeps • sort of ironmongery, grocery, and general tailoring establish ment and spirit store in a neighbouring country town, and who, not having • very regular demand, is not very parti cular as to the brand or the age of the seed which be sup plies to his customers. This remark is no more intended to apply to retailers of seed generally than is the descrip tion of Paddy Blake meant to picture the generality of Irish farmers. Well, as may be expected from all the cir cumstances, the braird comes up thin and irregular, and alternate visitallons of rain and droughts at moat trying times make the crop present • very sorry aspect, and the weeds alone show signs of vigour. At last, however, the flax is palled and ready for the watering. But the bole is too deep ; so that which lies near the bottom is " shined," to say nothing of a taint of mineral 1 ore, which has an injurious effect upon the water. Then the flax is taken out again before the straw is sufficiently detached, to make up for which it is left on the grass till the fibre begins to rot. No wonder, then, that the scutcher (to whom Paddy has to cart his flax thirty miles or so) exclaims—" Man alive, ye'll have no yield out of that flax at all at all! But fist lave it to use, and I'll docther it for ye." So the flax is " docthered." A " fine skin " is put upon the outside, but the inside of the streaks is all bristling with shoves, and the ends are one mass of scutehing tow. To complete this history, Paddy, after many disappointments and vicissitudes, sells for le. lid, per stone the flax for which he had fondly hoped to get lOs. feel. ; and it is dear at the money to the spinner who buys it, being short, deficient in quality. and giving a very bad yield at the hackle. And if the yield to the spinneris bad, the yield to Paddy is far worse ; for he finds himself with only about half as many stone to the acre as good draining, good ploughing, good cleaning, good manur ing, goad handling, anti good aoutching would have insured to him. What is the remedy? Till some paternal government shall have undertaken the necessary, but too long neglected, task of imparting agricultural instruction to our agricultural youth through the medium of night classes at our national schoola, we most not attempt to encourage indiscriminate flax growing. But we may safely exhort landowners to in troduce the crop in their favoured spots, where they know good tillage farming to be already in vogue, provided that the soil be suitable, and tkat the crop be not repeated in the same field more than once in an ordinary rotation. The paper concluded by insisting further upon the necessity of skill in the cultivation of fiat. Mr. Arnold Baruchson read a paper on "The advantages that would accrue to Ireland from the cultivation and I manufacture of sugar from beet root." The principal points taken up in the paper were three in number : first, the rise and progress of the manufacture of sugar from beet-root ou the continent ; second, the benefits and ad vantages to these countries ; and third, the reasons why Great Britain, and still more Ireland, should at once adopt it as their own. Sugar was by no means the only product of beet-root. Spirits were distilled from the molasses, potash from the refuse of the distillation, I and the pulp which remained was much used in food for cattle. Even isiangel wurzel was thrown into the shade by the great nutritious qualities of this refuse. He saw nothing to prevent Ireland and Great Britain from mirth cipating in the benefits which attended this enterprise. The weight of raw material Irish soil was capable of pro ducing varied from Iti to 40 tons per statute acre. This being the cane, they were much surprised on the continent that England and Ireland and Scotland did not avail themselves of the advantages to be derived from this branch of enterprise, which, he believed, in time would altogether supplant the colonial auger in the market. Mr. Arthur Cleary, Barrister-at-Law, read • paper on the organization of industry with a view to cheap produo tion. He advocated as most suitable under the present circumstances, the co-operation of capital and labour on equal terms, on the basis of an equitable distribution of property, after certain definite proportions, with a super added contract insuring the workman minimum wages. A lengthened discusaion having taken place on the several papers, The section adjourned. SIR MOSES MONTEFIORE'S MISSION TO ROUMANIA. TO THE Krirroa O► THI EXPILVIII.
