THE imprudence of GARIBALDI appears some times to serve his country better than the craft and caution of wiser men. The blunder and mis chance of Aspromonte drove the French from Rome more certainly than the bayonets of the volunteers could have done. The enterprise baffled at Sinalunga is renewed at half-a-dozen places within the heart of the Pspal territory. It is a small gain to have the hero himself under lock and key in Alesaandria or fastened to his rock in the ocean by the watchful vigilance of Italian cruisers. His captivity fights for the cause for which he is held in bonds. Magical as the sway of GARIBALDI'S personal presence seems to be, his influence is now independent of his presence. Like the English TALBOT, as SHAKESPEARE has drawn him, he himself is but " shadow of himself." His " substance, sinews, " arms, and strength," lie in the devoted adherents whom his call summons around him or sends on the mission which he assigns to them. It is pos sible that GARIBALDI understood the real posture of affairs in Italy better than some of his critics. We do not suppose that he has been acting in complicity with Ravassi, that the movement to Sinalunga was a feint, or that the arrest and deten- ' tion of the hero took place with his own con trivance. But GARIBALDI knew probably that in the course which he adopted he was forcing the hands both of NAPOLEON and of RATAZZI ; that he was setting in motion causes which they must obey ; and caring little for the fate which might befall himself, he would doubtless have welcomed a bullet sent with truer and more deadly aim than that which maimed I him at Aspromonte, provided only that his death brought the work of his life nearer to its accomp lishment. Italy is not now suppliant and de pendent. She holds the balance between Prussia and France, and both these States court her alliance. The return of the French Legion to Rome would have led to a permanent breach be tween the cabinets of Paris and Florence. It would have thrown Italy into the arms of Prussia. Such a consequence as this NAPOLEON 111. would have been reckless to madness if he challenged ; and GARIBALDI, we may well believe, felt this, and acted upon his conviction. This interpretation of his conduct seems to us, at least, far more probable than the view of those who see in the affair of Sinalungs a simple piece of fool-hardiness, an enterprise in which impulse played a large part, and reason and the compute. tion of results no part at all. GARIBALDI may be very little either of a diplomatist or of a states man ; but he understands well enough the great moving forces of European politics, and can act upon them. What may be the issue of the insurrec tionary movement in the Papal States ; how far the Pontifical troops may be able to make head against it ; what scope will be allowed, and what limit set, to the success of the revolt, if it should succeed, by the parties to the September Convention ; and what will be the terms of the final compromise, and the next step towards the inevitable solution—all these things are as yet matters of conjecture. Simultaneous move ments appear to have been organized through , the Papal territory—the building was to be fired in several parts at once. It ought not to take long for the flames to meet. The area of the Papal States falls far short of that of our greatest English county. At Viterbo, in the extreme north, at Frosinone, in the extreme south, at Valentano, in the west, and in the Sabina, east ward, we hear of risings. At Acquapendente the Pontifical gendarmes capitulated to the insurgents ; in the Sabina, we are told, the revolutionists have been dispersed. The Papal troops driven out from Bagnorea, and forced to retire upon Montefiascono, nearer to Rome, are officially reported to have returned and expelled the Garibaldians after two hours' fighting. In the meantime, the ranks of the insurgents receive reinforcements in the delegation of Viterbo. At present the fortune of the insurrection is still undetermined. The inhabitants of the Papal States wait possibly to be certain that France will remain inactive, and that Italy will confine herself to watching the frontier. Until they can be sure of this, neither their own feeling nor the fide lity of the ecclesiastical troops can be fairly tested. The statement of a German newspaper, that the movement, if its inherent force lead it so far, will be required to arrest itself at the gates of Rome ; that the POPE will be guaranteed a life tenancy of the Eternal City, with reversion to the King of ITALY ; and that the successor of Pres IX. must consent to be an honoured guest in the capital in which his predecessors have been sovereigns for more than a thousand years, is as good a guess as another. If, probably, it has little authority, it has some reason. At present all is uncertain but the inevitable end. The means by which it will accomplish it self, and the time of its realization, depend on the chapter of accidents. One thing is to be deplored —that sinister diplomacy should have left it to revolution to achieve what should have been the work of open treaty. " Rome to " the Romans and the Romans to Italy " was the THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1867. dictate of natural sentiment and political justice as well as of expediency. A nation which owes its greatness and independence, not to its rulers, but to revolutionary leaders constraining them, is not in the way to learn reverence for law and government. In this way the example of GAM -IUIIIII, with all his nobility of nature and mo tive, is not purely good, and his successes may be as dangerous as his failures. But those who have imposed the necessity must bear the burthen of it. Having closed up every outlet but one from a false situation, the authors of the Septem ber Convention cannot justly complain that the only path which they have left open is taken. 01711 CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) The Feniane in this country, the Daily News concludes, do not expect to do any good to their cause by acts of violence, but are driven to such schemes by the wild desire to do harm to their enemy. Local authorities, in the meanwhile, will but serve the organisation by the display of anything like panic. The only real danger is that the Irish portion of our population may excite the anger of the working classes, by whom they are disliked. A little additional watchfulness and • complete prepared neu will sultloe. There is no fear for order ; the only fear is that hatreds of race and religion which already exist should be exasperated by threats and outbreaks of senseless violence, and create an underground social war. The elements of such a strife unfortunately exist among us. We have two nations in England, thanks to the evil policy of centuries, and just now when that policy is ►bout to be reversed its evil comes home to us in the shape of an enemy in our midst. But the susceptible and generous people who have been alienated from us by that policy, and have been prepared to become the victims of Fenian imposters, can be won from their enmity by even tardy justice. The Tines condemns the intention attributed to the government of leaving the Fenian prisoners at Manchester to be tried by the next ordinary assizes, and enlarges on the advantages of issuing a special commission. Delay being the Fenian policy, despatch should be ours, and the would-be invaders of the United Kingdom should be apprised beforehand, by • practical warning, of tha fate reserved for them. One execution in October may save the necessity of many executions in December. So long ea these men remain in prison the Home office will Save no peace. One of them declared in open court that he had been dressed in prison clothes in order to insult the United States, of which he was a citizen. It is easy to foresee the anxieties which may arise from their prolonged detention without trial, and we have no occa sion to multiply anxieties for the ensuing winter. There can be no insuperable difficulty in sending down • judge before the commencement of next term, and the emer gency warrants the sacrifice of some convenience. The Telegraph says that at present there is no evidence that would justify even the committal of the prisoner Groves. McDonnell is presumed to have been killed by Fenian sympathisers ; the prisoner is supposed to be a Fenian partisan ; but these two assumptions fail to connect him with the crime, and the first is by no means clearly established. It is easy to see how the polies were led, in the first instance, to direct their researches in what, it is to be feared, will prove a wrong direction. flu Ea urt. BALMORAL, Oct. 5. The Queen drove out, accompanied by Princess Christian and Princess Louise, and attended by Lady Ely. Prince Arthur, attended by Major Elphinstone, left Balmoral, in order to resume his studies at the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich. His Royal Highness was accompanied to %Hater by Prince Leopold, attended by Mr. Duckworth. Prince Christian, attended by Colonel Poneonby, wont out for a drive of deer. Sir Stafford Northoote ►nd Mr. Albert Van de Weyer had the honour of shooting with his Royal Highness. Mies Macgregor has left the Castle. The Right Hon. J. R. Mowbray has arrived at Balmoral. The Earl and Countess of Yarborough and Colonel and Hrs. Farquharson had the honour of dining with the Queen and the Royal Family. The Right Hon. the Speaker and Lady Charlotte Denison left the Duke of Sutherland's seat some days ago for the south, on their way to Ossington Hall, Notts. DEATH OP LORD KINGSDOWIi. Lord Kingsdown died last night at his seat, Torre-hill, in Kent. He was born in London on the 11th of February, 1793, his family name being Pemberton. He descended on his father's ride from a family in Warring ton, and on his mother's from a branch of the family of Leigh, to whose vast possessions near Wigan he eventually succeeded. He was at no public school, at no university, and he began his legal career in • solicitor's office. Yet his scholarship was correct, and his taste for clusical literature constant and unabated. He read for the bar in the chambers of his maternal uncle, Mr. Cooke, and in 1816 Mr. Pemberton was called to the bar by the Honourable Society of Lincoln's-inn. In 1829 be received • silk gown, and for many years be stood at the bead of the bar, in his own court, the Rolls. In 1841, upon the formation of Sir R. Peel's administration, he accepted the office of Attorney• General. to the Prince of Wales. In January, 184 a, the death of his aged and eccentric kinsman, Sir Robert Leigh, placed Mr. Pemberton in possession of a life interest in the Wigan estates, amounting to about 17,0001. • year. He retired from the bar, was sworn of the Privy Council as Chancellor of the Duchy of Cornwall, and shortly afterwards entered upon his judicial duties as a member of the Judicial Committee of that body. These duties he continued to perform for twenty years with unre mitting diligence, but entirely without emolument, and with no outward recognition of his services except the peerage, which was first offered to him by Lord John Russell in 1853, and eventually conferred on him by Lord Derby in 1858. During the greater part of his career at the bar Mr. Pemberton sat in the House of Commons, in the conservative interest, for the borough of Rye, and • afterwards for tb• bonne; at Ripon. La 1868, 14:1 the formation of Lord Derby's administration, the Great Seal wee offered to Mr. Pemberton Leigh ( as;he wee then called) but it was refused. The cases of " Gorham v. the Bishop of Exeter," of " Liddell v. Waterton," " Long v. Bishop et Cape Town," and " Essays and Reviews" were decided by committees of the Privy Council, in which Lord Kings down took an active part, and they were decided in entire conformity with his views. "Friendly" sap • writer in the Times, " to the Church of England, as • pions, tolerant, and beneficent insti tution, he abhorred the exclusive pretensions of dogmatical theologians, and he held very cheap the claims of sacer dotal authority. To maintain the church of England on the broad foundations of the law of the land, without allowing any party to persecute or proscribe its opponenta, was the scope and object of his views. Th i s liberality of opinion drew down on him the bitter hatred of the bigots, which has recently been manifested in a peculiar manner by Dr. Pusey at Oxford ; but it has earned for the memory of Lord KiniMown the profound respect and gratitude of the most em t, judicious, and enlightened of him coun trymen." Lord Kingsdown was never married ; his title, therefore, is extinct. Of his property the larger part reverts to a descendant of Sir Robert Leigh ; the remainder passes to the brother and nephews of the late peer. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. the Emperor Maximilian had reached the capital but had not been delivered to Admiral Tegethoff, who had determined to return without it. The ad miral was endeavouring to effect the release of the Emperor's confessor, who had been authorised by Maximilian to publish his entire correspondence with the Emperor Napoleon and Marshal Bazaine. Porfirio Diaz had accepted the nomination for the Presidency, and his adherents were organising themselves for a furious campaign. (BY ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.) NEW YORK, Om 7. The steamers Erin, Liberia, and Hibernia arrived out yesterday, and the Cuba, Nebraska, Saxonia, and Pereire to-day.

INDIAN CBMCIMIN ON r. SCLISH POLICY. The impatience manifested in India fur the Abyssinian enterprise leads the Trivia to refer to the ordinary strain of Indian criticism on English policy. The English com munity in India are always advocating two crotchet,, the first being that we must go to war to keep up our prestige with the natives, and the second that it is our duty to put a atop to " Russian aggression." The persistent attempt to make the Russian advance in Central Asia a ground of national hostilities is worse than an error of judgment. We are assured that if the public opinion of India were polled, the verdict would be, " Use Cabal and hold Herat "—that is, carry out fresh annexations at • desperate cost. There would be no justification whatever for such • dishonest scheme. It will be time enough to protest when Russia shows • dis position to encroach upon our possessions, and till then if she chooemi to civilise or annex remote provinces she is welcome to do ea. The vast tract over which Russian armies most be marched to reach our borders affords one strong security against the apprehended aggression, and the Russians must be more ignorant of the ways of Eastern princes than we suppose if they attach any importance to alliances with them. The community in India invite us at this moment to no fewer than four wars, for they urge us to embroil ourselves with Russia, Persia, Affghanistan, and Abyssinia. Their fantastic humours are a heavy tax upon our patience. When there is a danger to meet, England will not be unprepared, but she will not seek for dangers where there are none, or be led into a war with a great European power by an Oriental illusion. ICS TOPICS. The Times, the Herald, the Telegraph, the Star, and the Standard dilate upon the public career of the late M. Fould, and dwell upon the gravity of the loss to the French empire which is occasioned by his death. Under M. Fould's administration, the Times remarks, the empire at all times was peace. Had he come in at this juncture, or bad even the thought of calling him in, not only crossed the Emperor's mind, but also taken a firm hold of it, there was an end of the Army Reorganisation Bill, an end of France's interference in the affairs of Italy or Germany, an end not only of the distant prospects of war, but also of the more pressing horrors of an armed peace. Had the Emperor's mind taken that turn, the death of Fould could not have been more inopportune. The Star says M. Fould was far from being advanced to the level of English statesmen in the question of free trade. But as a prudent, firm, and economical adminis trator, as a man of unstained integrity and fearless honesty in council, he had won the respect, confidence, and admiration of the world. as well as of the country which he so faithfully served. While observing that it is not for distant observers to dictate, or even to suggest, to a constituency so well coin. petent to make a wise choice as the men who have sent Mr. W. E. Forster to the House of Commons, whom they shall select as his colleague, the Daily News nevertheless mentions Mr. Edward Mien as the candidate who trans cends the others in personal and public claims: there are few men in England whose presence in the new House of Commons would be more advantageous. Whether he shall be there by the choice of the electors of Bradford it is for the electors of Bradford to determine; but that he ought to be there no sound liberal can question. Mr. Miall's po- Mica are essentially the politics of a now not distant future. The churchmen of Bradford have no ground of quarrel with Mr. Miall because of his views of ecclesiastical policy. The " loud, long, and enthusiastic cheering," which greeted Mr. Beresford Hope's disparagement at the Church Congress the other day, of endowments, date aid, national pretension, and acts of parliament shows that the opposition to the political establishment of religion does not necessarily spring from rancour and venomous fanaticism. Mr. Beresford Hope and he may be right or wrong, but their coincidence removes the brand of sec tarianism from the opinions which they hold in common. On other points, on the land question, on the education question—a subject which he has wisely reconsidered an old mistake—and on the supplementary measures which are necessary to the good working of the Reform Bill, Mr. Miall avows opinions which are in harmony with all that is progressive and healthy in the liberal party. - EARL RUSSELL.—There seems to have been no foundation for the rumoured indisposition of Earl Russell. The Dubfirt Express of yesterday says that shortly after 9 o'clock on Saturday morning the Earl and Countess and Lady Agatha Russell and suite arrived from Clandeboye, the residence of the Right Hon. Lord Duffer in, and took their departure on board the Stranraer boat for Scotland. THE BISHOP OF OXFORD.—The Bishop of Oxford was unable to be present at the public meeting held at the Town-ball, Htmgerford, yesterday afternoon, on behalf of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. The bishop has remained at Sandleford Priory, the residence of Mr. Chatters,, attended by Mr. Helmeted, a surgeon of the neighbourhood, and the account given of his lordship's state lost evening was much more favour able. It was confidently hoped last night that be would have so far recovered by to-day so to be able to preach at the reopening service' at Newbury pariah church. EARL RUSSELL ON IRISH POLICY. The Northern Whig publishes the following coy respo?desos . To THE RIGHT HONOURABLE EARL RIIRRELL. "MT Lord,—A Lumber of gentlemen of Belfast and Ito neighbourhood are desirous of offering to your lordship • public banquet. They feel grateful for the many public services your lordship has rendered during • long, most oonsistent, and illustrious career ; some of them remember your lordship's last visit to Belfast, in 1833, and wish to take part in • similar testimony of esteem. They know, as your lordship has expressed in • recent letter, that there are great Irish questions demanding the immediate atten tion of the legislature ; and they consider that an ex pression of your lordship's views in regard to them could not but have • powerful effect in guiding public opinion. The gentlemen who now address your lordship leave it to lourself to suggest the manner most convenient to your ordship in which • deputation could be received on the subject. As chairman of the meeting at which the fore going was resolved on, I have the honour to subscribe my self your lordship's most obedient servant, " Belfast, Oct. 3, 1867." " THOMLB M'CLVRE. " TO THOMAR M'CLURL, ESQ. " Sir,—lt is with great satisfaction, and, I hope, no un becoming pride, that I receive from you the information that a number of gentlemen of Belfast and its neighbour. hood are desirous of offering me a public banquet. After Imo long a political career as mine has been it is a great satisfaction to find that men whose ch aracter, station, abilities, and public principles I deeply respect, are willing now, as they and their predecessors were willing in 1833, to give me a testimony of their esteem. But circumstances connected with private engagements and with public duties do not allow me so remain in Belfast any longer. The great Irish questions demanding the immediate attention of the legislature require to be further examined and discussed before they Can assume a shape in which they can be adopted by parliament. One of these questions—the great ques tion of education—is about to be sifted and reviewed by a commission ' • and with regard to all of them, it is the conviction of the moat enlightened men, both in Great Britain and in Ireland, that they can only be effectually dealt with by ministers acting under the authority and posse sing the confidence of the crown. With regard to the administration of the existing laws, I am satisfied that those laws will he, as they hays been, firmly and impar tially administered by the present executive government. I could have nothing further to say on this head. The Lord Lieutenant has too recently received the marks of ap probation he so well deserves to allow me to doubt the sentiments of Belfast upon this subject. I must request you, as chairman of the meeting, to accept my thanks for your communication, and you will allow me to add that I hope you and your friends may witness every year the pro greasive prosperity of Belfast. —I have the honour to be your faithful and obedient servant, " Clandeboye. Oct. 4, 1867." " Rusari.r.. Admiral Farragut is expected in the Mersey shortly, and it is said that a hearty reception will be given there to the gallant officer. It is stated that Baron von Beset will pay a visit to this country towards the close of the month. The Herald says of the new minister to the United Stales:—" Mr. Thornton has quite recently received the appointment of minister at Lisbon, but in consequence of the sudden death of Sir Frederic Bruce, his destination has been changed. Mr. Thornton's ability as a diplomatist has been thoroughly well tested in the missions which he has successively discharged in Uruguay, the ♦rgentine Confederation, and Brazil. The services he has zeodered extend ore, a long series of years, and in each post that be has filled he has succeeded in gaining not only the entire confidence of the Foreign-office, but the respect and esteem of she different governments to which he has been accredited." M. Fould had five or six horses engaged in the Paris races on Sunday, which were, of course, amok out ; be had also a large training establishment at Chantilly, as he lately bought the stables formerly occupied by the late Duke de Moray, and also a large training establishment at Ibos, near Tarbes, and a very extensive hero/ at Tarbes. M. A. Foold was one of the most popular member, of the French turf. It has already been stated that the papers of M. Ker►try respecting Mexican affairs which have appeared in the Rerue Conternporasne are to be published in Germany, with additions which it was not practical to give in the French periodical. Some of the new document, are printed in the hodt , pendasee of yesterday. One of them is a letter from General Prim to his uncle in Mexico, in which the Spanish commander speaks of " that humbug M. Bil !suit," an epigram for the status lately erected to that statesman which is not likely to be made use of. Another document consists of a letter to a member of the English parliament by one of the confidential advisers of Maximilian. Another is given by M. de Xeratry to show that Maximilian was as much responsible as Bazaine for the fatal decree condemning prisoners of war to death. The Manchester branch of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts held its annual meeting in the Free Trade Hall, last night, under the pre sidency of the Mayor. The Bishops of New Zealand and Ontario were present, and addressed the meeting, and other clergymen and laymen took part in the proceedings, The Birmingham papers report tho suicide of a girl of 14 in that town, named Anna M►ria Payn, because a butcher's boy about her own age would not accept her as his " sweetheart." GARIBALDI AND THE ROMAN INSURRIC- TION. The Italian papers print the following proclama tion by Garibaldi, which was given by him on Thursday morning to a passenger on board the steamer on which he was arrested at Maddalena : Italians ! To-morrow we shall have completed our noble revolution by dealing the last blow to the tabernacle of idolatry, imposture, and Italian disgrace. The pedestal of all tyrannies, the Papacy, has received the curses of the whole world, and nations hare their eyes fixed on Italy as upon a Saviour. And will Italy stop in her glorious mission through the arrest of a single man? Yielding to the desire of some friends I came to my dwelling free and without conditions, and with the promise that a vessel should soon be sent me to take me to the Continent. Now the man whose name resound, with shame to Italy, resorting to the precautions of the sbirri, prevents my return. In this position I only ask my fellow-citizens to continue in the sacred work they have b►gun with the calmness of a nation conscious of its power. To the army, to the people, I spoke of dis- cipline when the people and the army, indignant with the cowardly servility which governs us, asked to be led to Rome. To the soldiers I said that their bayonets should be kept for a more glorious minion, and that for the mer cenaries of the Pope the butt ends of their muskets would suffice. Despite the evil genius which still weighs upon our land there is one fact always before us, the imposing fraternity of all the robust elements of the nation, the army, the people, and the volunteers. Woe to him who would throw discord amongst his brethren ! And when Italy sees all her children united in the work, the cowards who were stopped by the foolish fears of foreign intervention will disappear. I repeat then, you must achieve by whatever means the redemption of Rome and if ever you think that my assistance is necessary I rely upon it that you will consider how to deliver me. G. GARIBALDI. FRANCE. It is now stated the meeting of the French chambers next month will not be taken as an extraordinary session, but as the beginning of the session of 1868, and that the Emperor will deliver an opening speech, in which he will review con temporary events, and indicate a policy with regard to them. RUSSIAN POLICY. We read in the Golos of St. Petersburg : Count de Bismarck is evidently employing every means to exhaust the patience of the French, and to provoke, within a brief period, a °millet which he regards as inevi table. The Cabinet of St. Petersburg could have no motive for preventing a war between France and Prussia. Whatever might be the issue of it, It la certain that the changes which would ensue In the equilibrium of Euro pean power could not but be favourable to us. France, with her brilliant army, and her almost unlimited credit in every market in the world, is, in fact, a very dangerous rival to Russia in the East, while at the close of a severe and sanguinary war, hereven temporarily impairedatrength ' would naturallybe advantageous for us. As to Prusaia,let us never forget that one day or other she will become Ger many, and, for that remain, the enemy of Sclavonianism, and consequently of Russia. A war between the two na tions is therefore ultimately inevitable. But Prussia would not come out of a war with France more powerful than she is at the present time. On the contrary, it may easily happen that she would be, in some degree, weaker, in which case our d►ngers would be diminished in the same proportion as her strength. Let us, therefore, not prevent the Prussians from going to war with whom they plows. Let us rather stir up their bellicose ardour, in order that we may derive from them similar benefits to those which they reaped at our expense during the Crimean campaign. If this policy does not suit the taste of poets, it is, on the other hand, extremely reasonable. (1111117 R'S TZLZGRA.IIB.) ITALY. FLORENCE, Ocr. 7, EVENING. The Spanish Legation in this city announces that it will not grant a vied to any more passports for Rome. No fresh news of the insurrection has been received. MILAN, OCT. 7. The Persetvranza of to-day says that the Papal government is incapable of repressing the insurrec tion either by moral or military means. If it is put down now it will break out afresh. It is for the interest of the cause of order and progress in Italy and Europe that the Italian government should arrive at the gates of Rome before either volunteers or insurgents. THE KING AND QUEEN OF PRUSSIA. AUGSBURG, Ocr. 7. The King and Queen of Prussia arrived here on Sunday evening, and were received by the King of Bavaria. Their Majesties dined at the station, and continued their journey to Nuremburg where they arrived at 10 p.m. Great demonstrations and a torchlight procession took place in their honour. Their Majesties left to-day for Weimar, where they will arrive this evening. The King is not going to Berlin, but to Baden- Baden, where the birthday of the Crown Prince will be celebrated.

The Moniteur of this morning says of the late M. Fould : His Excellency M. Achille Fould, Senator, and Grand Cross of the Legien of Honour, died suddenly on Saturday night at his chateau at Lanbere, near Tarbes. The loss of this eminent and devoted man, who had been many times Minister of Finance and Minister of State, and has done so much service to the country and the Emperor, will cause profound emotion in France and inspire general regret• The above is far from being a mere passing complimentary notice, usual in the case of the demise of distinguished personages. He was undoubtedly a politician of great ability and lunimpeachable integrity, and was in all proba bility on the eve of being once more called t 3 the discharge of high official functions at a time when France stands particularly in need of equal firmness and talent in those whose duty it is to aid the Emperor in the government of the country, in times of no ordinary difficulty. The deceased statesman died of an attack of apoplexy, and was 67 years of age. Great uncertainty and no little mystery continue to hang over the internal as well as foreign affairs of France ; and a modification of the ministry is still the theme of conversation and the subject of political speculation. Whether M. de Mouldier is to be succeeded in the Foreign-office by M. do Lavalette, and whether one or the other of these statesmen is more or less inclined to peace or war, is just now the subject of much debate, or perhaps, I should say, much gossip and vague calculations. There is nothing in the antecedents of M. de Moustier, as compared with his colleague in office, which should consti lute him a standing menace to the peace of Europe. M. de Leveled° wrote on the 16th of September, 1866, a letter full of resignation when it was averred that France would receive no compensation for the aggrandise ment of Prussia ; and M do Moustier was equally submissiveand condescending in the circular written by him explanatory of the interview at Salzburg. Whatever change in the ministry may be impending would not, therefore, appear to be evoked from an over-anxious solicitude for the interests of peace, since these, so far as the two pacific ministers are concerned, are apparently, as much as in them lies, fairly protected by their personal tendencies and views. But after all it must not be forgotten that whatever may be the private dispo sitions of these statesmen, they are neither of them, according to the constitution of 1852, anything more than the executors of orders transmitted to them—nothing but the agents of a superior will, and which has declared itself to be alone responsible. "To imagine," says the Arenir National, " that France and Europe could be reassured by giving the portfolio of foreign affairs to M. de Leveled°, or that the na tions would tremble if it were left in the hands of M. de Moustier, is to forget alike the past history of these two ministers and the rdgime prescribed to us by the 2nd of December." The death of M. Fould caused great sensation on the Bourse among financiers. The money market again presented a somewhat calmer aspect. Threes closed at 68fr. 25c. ; Italian at 45fr, 95c. The Empress and Prince Imperial will, says the Tonionneis, pass a month of the ensuing winter at Nioe. Stag-hunting has commenced in the deer forest of Compiegne. A magnificent vulture was shot two days back in the forest of St. Germain. The Messenger drt Midi states that the recent storm has done immense damage to the chestnut crop. In some cantons more than half the crop has been destroyed. In that of Joyeuse the damage is estimated at 800,000 fr. In another more than 3,000 trees were broken or uprooted, and in • third 2,500. The band , frf the French Gendarme. of the Im perial Guard has been giving concerts at Aix-la-Chapelle, Dusseldorf, Elberfield, and Cologne in return for the visit of the Prussian military band which visited Paris and Lyons two years back and again at the festival in the Palace of Industry. At Cologne they were received with great enthusiasm, • feet on which the Montrealr dwell. with an emphasis not without significance. The Temps publishes the translation of a letter from M. Schulae•Deitsch, general agent of the Co-opera tive Associations of Germany, and which he has addressed in that quality to the members of those bodies. This com munication consists of a long and earnest protest against the prohibition, lately pronounced by the French govern ment, of the meeting in Paris of an International Congress of Co-operative Societies. A young Russian Prince, of 14, at school at Neufchatel, ran away with a troop of mountebanks to &pleura. Being brought back by toe police he again escaped, but waa arrested at Vienne (Inure) by the gen darmery and taken back to Neufchatel. Love for • dansewie was the cause. A correspondent of the Post, writing from the city of Mexico, says that not one word of reliable infor motion has been received from M►rquez since he fled on the 20th of July. But wherever he is, and whatever he may be doing, he is a man fatal to all hopes of tranquillity. " He is a devoted crusader, an avenger of the church, a destroyer of heretics, and of the infidels who deny the supremacy and power of the clergy. He wears the ' Grand Cross of a Commander of the Legion of Honour,' bestowed upon him by the Emperor Napoleon. He is stained all over with crimes, and all the multitudinous seas could not wash away the innocent blood that dyes his soul. But he is a power in Mexico. He has probably more money in his coffers than the Republican government can command within the next six months." A terrific hail and thunder storm passed over Liverpool yesterday afternoon. Its advent was sudden, but the effects of the storm will be severely felt. The Creithie correspondent of the Edinburgh Courant writes :—On Friday, a bronze statue of the late Prince Consort was placed on a pedestal of rade mason work, consisting of huge blocks of granite, about 64:1 yards west from the obelisk erected by the tenantry, and • quarter of • mile rut from RalmorsL The statue, which is by Theed, is a striking likeneas of the lamented Prince, and as a work of art is thought to possess great merit. lie is represented with the right hand on the head of • large shaggy etaghound by his aide, with • rise in the left and with the face towards Balmoral. Drama. DRURY LANE. Strictly adhering to the programme announced at the commencement of the season, Mr. F. B. Chatterton withdrew Faust at this house last night, and substituted Shakspeare's play of King Jake, with substantially the same cast of characters as he gave the public at the open. ing of the theatre in September, 1866. Mr. Phelps repre sante the King, Mr. Barry Sullivan (hie tirit appearance this season) represents Faloonbridge, Mrs. Hermann Venn plays Constance, and Master Percy Roselle repre sents Prince Arthur. Hubert now fall, to the lot of Mr. Ryder, a majestic tragedian who never underrates the im portance of the legitimate dam►, and the scenery, dresses, and grouping of characters are the same as in 1866 and 1865. We have so often h►d to speak of the per formance of this play at this theatre th►t perhaps we shall not be thought guilty of neglect in the present in. stance if we only say that the chief actors have lost none of their merit and power. OLYMPIC. This house was re-opened last night with Mr. and Mn. Charles Mathews, who appeared together in the successful comedy of The Liar, and Mr. Mathews sup plemented this attraction by appearing in Patter !erns Clatter and Cool as a Coniwiter. A few changes have been made in the comp►ny since the house was closed about • month ago. Mr. F►rrell takes Mr. H. J. Mon tague's place, and Miss Louisa Moore has been engaged. ALHAMBRL A new comic ballet, called Quicksilver Dick, has been produced at this house, with Mr. F. Evans in the principal character. Mr. Evans has exceptional talent se a pantomimist, and be uses it without stint. The ballet is prettily put upon the stage, and its broad humour is in strong contrast to the more elegant and less riotous bal lets of the evening. The musical entertainments here are almost en as large a scale as those of Covent-garden. The orchestra numbers nearly sixty members, many of them eminent as soloists, and them are never less than fourteen pieces in the nightly programme, including two selections from operas, • classical overture, and all the latest and best dance-music. cabal an, Military. Ocr. 7. Among the improvements ordered by the Lords of the Admiralty to be carried out at Chatham dockyard, during the recent visit of the members of the board to that establishment, is one which will add considerably to the comfort of the mechanics employed on the iron ships building at this dockyard. Hitherto it has been found impracticable to roof over the docks in which the Hercules, Achilles, Monarch, and other iron ships, are building, or have been built, the workmen being oonsequently com pelled to work exposed to all weather, without anything of a shelter. Their lordships have now given directions for an iron roof to be erected over the second dock, in which the Hercules is under construction, iron sliding shutters being inserted in the top of the roof, to allow of the passage in or out of the dock of vessels with masts. The erection of the new roof to the dock will be com menced early in the ensuing year. A draught of 12 non-commissioned officers and men, and one officer of the depot brigade Royal Artillery, nod four officers and two men of the 2nd battalion of the 14th Regiment embarked at Gravesend on Saturday, on beard the Maoduff, for Melbourne. A part of the Army HP pita! Corps also emked for New on board the charts ed ship Maori.bar _ _ WOOLWICH, OCT. 7. Admiral Farregut, Commander-in-Chief of the United States Navy, with Captain Leroy and Flag-Lies. tenant Watson, accompanied by Sir Sidney Dames and other members of the Board of Admiralty, arrived at the Royal Arseaal Pier, at one o'clock this day, to visit various departments of the public service. The visitors were re. °erred by a royal salute from the Fisgard flagship, aid having disembarked from Mr. Penn'. steam-yacht wo oeeded to the residence of Commodore Superintendeat Et hnonstone, C. 8., to partake of refreshments. At two o'clock the distinguished party returned to the Royal Arsenal, and occupied about three hours in a complete in spection of the vast machinery and numerous objects of interest in the several depirtments, the men being at the time fully employed, and various details being pointed out by the officials attached to the establishment. After viewing the position of the sheds where the explosion occurred on Saturday, the visitors re-embarked and re turned to town. OUTRAGE ON THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY. A serious disaster, which there is every reason to believe was the result of wilful mischief, occurred on Saturday morning between the hours of four and five, as the Caledonian Railway, about • mile and • half to the north of Larbert station. A North British goods train, consisting of twenty-four waggons, left Stirling about four o'clock for Larbert, and had proceeded all right till nearly opposite Torwood, in the parish of Dunipace, when the drier felt his engine riming op off the rails, which caused a violent oscillation of the train, and threw 15 of the wag gons off the rails. At the point where this circumstance occurred there is an embankment fully 20 feet high, and over the side of it nine of the trucks with their con tents were precipitated. Of these, eight were loaded with baled goods, paper, and coal, the other waggon was empty. By the violence of the shock the driver was thrown from his place, but was in no way injured ; the stoker also escaped unhurt, as did the guard, whose van fortunately remained on the line. The train was as quickly as possible brought to • stand, and information of the accident communicated to barbert, and from thence to Stirling. Bodies of men were immediately brought from the different stations in the neighbourhood of Stirling and Larbert for the purpose of repairing the line and removing the obstruction, by which the traffic was suspended. This wits speedily effected to part, and arrangements were made for conducting all tha trains over one line of rails by the employment of • pilot. Owing to the Falkirk Tryst to br held this week, there was an immense increase of traffic from the north ; and numerous special trains with stock having been run on Saturday, the usual traffic was, in the circumstances, very much interfered with, and passenger trains were in moat instances made late. At Lk, bert sta tion there was • greet overcrowding of trains the whole day ; but by the excellent management of Mr. Baillie, the station-master, no accident occurred. On the engine driver and the other parties in charge of the goods trail going over the line to ascertain the cause of the accident, they found that it had resulted from a " serewjack' having been placed on the rail, which it was im possible the " policeman" in the front of the en could have caught. Inquiries were instituted as to hew the " screwjack" came to be there, as generally the surfaesmen remove their tools to boxes provided for the purpose. This " screwjack" had, however, been omitted to be locked up, and was left lying on the slops of the embankment between two sleepers on Friday night, when the men left their work. On Saturday morning, after the accident happened, it was discovered broken in two, and lying in the six-feet way. It is believed, there fore, that the " sarewjack" had been retnoved from the place where it was left, and placed on the rails by some malicious individual. Mr. Campbell, chief courtable of Stirlingsbire, was at the scene of the disaster, and made various investigations, but nothing we believe was obtained which can throw the slightest suspicion on any one. It is so far fortunate that the accident happened to • goods train ; had it been a passenger one, the consequences would have been fearful. The carriages which were thrown down the embankment were smashed together—the one above the other, the picture which they presented recalling to mind, though perhaps faintly, the frightful disaster which occurred only a few month■ sines at the Carron Viaduct. near Larbert. Great progress was made on Saturday in the removal of the damaged waggons, and by night only four remained at the bottom of the embankment. Little injury has been done to the goods, but eight of the waggons have been almost completely destroyed ; the other seven are only slightly damaged. The work of removing the goods was super intended by North British officials, and the repairing of the line and lifting the waggons by the Caledonian Com pany. Both lines were opened oa Saturday night, and the general traffic resumed. RAILWAYS IN THE ISLE or WIGHT.—The Isle Of Wight is divided into east and west bye line running from Cowes through Newport to Black thing Chine. There is railway from Hyde on the eastern side to Ventnor. on the eastern coast, through Sundown and Shanklin. Thus the principal fiwhionahle towns in the island, such as Sundown, Shanklin, and Ventnor are in railway communication with Hyde, and direct steam-packet communication with Portsmouth, the nearest mainland. There is • railway communication between Cowes and New. port, but the latter place is cut off from Hyde and the back of the island. Cowes communicates with the main land at Southampton, and Hyde also com municates with Southampton. All the fashionable traiSc, therefore, now chiefly flows through Ryde to the hack of the island, and Newport is deserted. Newport want', th , tefore, a railway communication with the kick, and calls upon Hyde to &saint, but the latter does not see the necessity of it, and offers to assist in a direct railway from Hyde to Newport. The western part is cut off from the eastern, and Yarmouth, Alum Bay, and Freshwater can only be reached by coach. yet this part is looking up and a new fashionable town is about to rise up at Bouldnor, near Yarmouth. Before long the Newport Railway will no doubt he extended to the back of the Wight, and the iron horse will make the circuit of the island. Her Majesty and the poet laureate are not within sound of him at present, for the Queen's marine palace is situated between Cowes and Hyde, sod the poet laureate is in the woods at Freshwater, at almost the extreme western end.
