MALTA, Ocr. F. Although this year the cholera did not fortunately commit any serious ravages here, it has been lingering for seine time without showing any signs of disappearing. It is most severe in the villsges,where the absence of sanitary iu.provements must necessarily contribute to its develot. meet. Yesterday's report was twelve asses and twelve deaths, and to-day's shows six attacks and five deaths, all of which are from previous reports. The health of the troops is now satisfactory, and not a single ease has occurred amongst them during the last week. The men who were quartered in unhealthy barracks are still und e r tents in various salubrious parts of the island ; but if the home authorities care for the health of the troops stationed in this hot country they should take immediate steps in order that, by next summer, all the barracks may be thoroughly improved, as suggested by the two sanitary commissioners sent out here so far back as the year 1861. I notice by the Sicilian journals which reached Malta this morning that the cholera is still prevalent in some parts of Sicily, particularly in Messina, but it is every where on the decrease. According to letters received to-day from the naval csmmander•in.chief, the squadron under the command of the pliant admiral wee still lying at Spezzia on the 2nd inst. The two iron.clad frigates, Royal Oak, 35, and Prince Consort, 3t, have received order to return home, and will proceed to England direct. The latter vessel will, however, be attached to the Channel Squadron during its cruise to Lisbon. The iron-clad frigate Warrior is daily expected to join the Mediterranean fleet, and no doubt other vessels of her clan will be sent out to relieve tle two iron-clad. ordered home.

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (RErna's Tazoiuma) THE INVASION OF THE PAPAL STATES. ROME, Ocr. 11. The official Gionak di Roma of to-day sap : "At Torre Altina, Monte Alfino, and Pecrone numerous Garibaldian bands have again concen trated themselves, and are still increasing in numbers and receiving large quantities of arms. A band of 1,000 Garibaldians have again invaded Nero's, where they have levied supplies of pro visions. The Pontifical troops are marching against them." _ ROME, Ocr. 12. Yesterday, while the garrison of Subiaco wax absent scouring the country, a band of insurgents came down from the mountains and occupied the town, the gendarmes withdrawing to the castle. The garrison, on its return, attacked the insur genta and repulsed them. The official accounts state that thirty Garibaldiana entered Subiaco yesterday by surprise, during the absence of the garrison on reconnaissance. The Pon tifical troops on their return in the evening re took possession of the town after an encounter with the invadors, in which the latter hot 15 pri soners and three killed, including among the latter the Garibaldian chief Milatuiis. The Ponti fical troops only suffered a loss of two wounded. The awerratore Romaiw of to-day says it is authorised to contradict the statement that Mgr. Franchi was entrusted with a mission to Biarritz, and to give a denial, therefore, at the same time to the reports of conversations at that place, and to the conclusions arrived at by some journals in connection with the alleged mission. Arrests con tinue to be made in Rome. FLORENCE, Oc-r. 12, EVENING. The Roman committee have issued a proclama tion, dated the 9th, announcing that they have resumed the direction of affairs, and inviting the Romans to prepare to support the movement now going on in the provinces. Garibaldi has issued an address to the Romans, saying that until his return he confides the com mand of the enterprise for the deliverance of Rome to his son Menotti. FLORENCE, Ocr. 13, 9.20 P.M. The head-quarters of Menotti Garibaldi, who has been appointed by his father to the command of the insurrectional movement, are at Nerola, and his advanced guard is at Monte Rotondo. Six hundred insurgents re-occupied Acqua pendent. yesterday. Committees for the relief of the wounded insur gents are being formed throughout Italy. Mgr. de Merode has arrived here. GREAT FIRE AT ST. ETIENNE. PARIS, OCT. 12. A fire has taken place in a mine at St. Etienne, caused by fire-damp. Seventeen bodies have been recovered, and seven are still buried in the mine. NORTH GERMANY. BERLIN, Ocr. 12, Evnum. In to-day's sitting of the North German Parlia ment the budget was read a second time, and almost unanimously adopted, only three members voting against it. A debate then took place upon the bill respect ing the nationality of merchant vessels. This bill was adopted with some modifications, paragraph 2 being altered so as to provide that only such ships as belong exclusively to North German sub jects shall be entitled to carry the Federal flag. It is affirmed that Wurtemburg is about to draw much closer its relations to the North German Bund. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, Orr. 13. The Czar arrived here to-day, having travelled by the new railway from Kursk. Russia has notified her adhesion to the Swiss convention of the 22nd August, 1844, respecting the treatment of wounded soldiers. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Orr. 12. Intelligence from Crete announces that the Grand Vizir arrived there on the 4th inst., and pro claimed an amnesty. He invited four deputies from each district to come to Canes to confer with him. The chiefs of the insurgents have issued a pro test against the amnesty, and persist in demand ing an international commission of inquiry and universal suffrage. CHINA. HONG KONG, Seer. 29.

Lord Brougham (we learn from the Carlisle Josra ,, l) continues to reside at Brougham-hall, Westmore land. His lordship is in the enjoyment of good brslth, and when weather permits takes his daily carriage drive. In doors his chief occupation is writing letters upon social or political subjects, addressed to the must prominent pro moters of social and political reform. In former years his lordship left Brougham for Cannes about the middle of November, but this year, we understand, it is not impro bable he may spend the winter in the south of England instead of crawling the Channel. THE BISHOP OF OXYORD AND THE PAN-ANGLI caN ENCYCLICAL.—The Bishop of Oxford has addressed the following letter to the clergy of his diocese, enclosing the Encyclical " Ciullesdon Palace, Oct. 9, 1867. Reverend and dear Sir,—Subpiined is the Encyclical ad dressed to the faithful in Christ Jesus by the archbishops, metropolitans, presiding bishops, and bishops of the Angli can communion assembled at Lambeth, under the presi dency of the Archbishop of Canterbury. And I have to request of you to publish the document to the faithful of your _parish on the first convenient Lord's day. I recom mend you to read it from the holy table at the time ap pointed for such notices as the ordinary may direct ,- for your doing which this will be your warrant. But if, from any peculiarity in your church, you should prefer to read the address from the pulpit at the time of sermon, you are at liberty to do so. You will preface the reading of the paper with the following notice At the desire of the Lord Bishop of the diocese I publish to you the following address from the archbishops, metropolitans, presiding bishops, and bishops who met at Lambed' on Tuesday, the 24th of September, 1867, under the presidency of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury.' " HOSPRAL FOR DISEASES or THE CHEST VICTO R IA- Park.—The number of patients relieved at th is isstitatios dating last week was 1,100, of which 215 wen sew eases, THE OVERLAND MAIL. By the arrival of the above mail we have advice* i from Calcutta to September 7 ; Madras, September 13 ; Colombo, September 16 ; Hong Kong, August 28 ; Melbourne, August 28 ; Sydney, August 23 ; Adelaide, August 29 ; Brisbane, August 20, &c. Great anxiety is said to be felt at Peking by the Chinese government owing to the presence of the rebels in Shantung and Ho-nan. The de Norman monument has been erected in the grounds of the British Consulate at Shanghai. It bears the names of William de Norman, T. W. Bowlby (Trove correspondent), Captain Brabaron, RA., and Private Phipps. [ The Spanish treaty was ratified on the 26th May last. The Spanish minister is concluding a con-1 vention relative to the Coolie trade. Other ministers are drawing up a fresh convention unii [form with that of Spain. [ The Chinese government has been making ex tensive purchases of rice at Hong Kong and else where to meet the anticipated famine in the north. The most important news from Japan relates to the alleged abdication of the Shogoon, Stotabashi, the foreigners' friend. A correspondent of the Friend of China, writing under date 10th August, informs that paper that the Shogoon abdicated in consequence of the dissatisfaction he gave the other princes in consenting to the opening of the ports, and his general willingness to carry out the treaty. Prince Owari is now Tycoon elect, and his proclivi ties are not altogether so favourable to foreigners. The writer is of opinion that there will yet be a struggle for the supreme authority, but that the I resolution of foreign governments to enforce the treaties will result in the victory of the pro-foreign party, whoever may represent it. No mention of the Shogoon's abdication is made in other northern Par rs. he Sydary Meriting Herald, of August 23, says that the Public Schools Act continues to work well, and promises results much more satisfactory than any hitherto obtained by the expenditure of public money to promote the education of the people. On the 14th August a motion was carried request ing his Excellency the Governor to cause to be placed on the estimates a sum of 5,0001., to pro vide for the reception of his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh. It was thought not desirable to ask for a larger sum in anticipation of the visit of his royal highness, it being felt that whatever might be required would be loyally granted to do honour to the son of the Queen. A sum of 3,0001. has been voted by the municipal council of the city of Sydney for the same purpose. A bill has been introduced to provide for the better r egu lation of the volunteer force of the colony. There are about 2,000 men enrolled. The object of the bill is to make the regulations more strict, and give to the body a more decided military character. The measure is founded upon the volunteer acts of England and Canada. It exempts volunteers from certain civil duties, and coffins the inducement of 60 acres of land to those who have rendered five years continuous and effi cient service. WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Taamanian, from St. Thomas, on September 29, arrived on Saturday evening in Plymouth Sound, with I(r2 passengers. Pratique was refused from her bay ing yellow fever on board. Thirteen cases and one death occurred on Friday, and one death the day before. The mails were taken out by a steam tug boat, fumigated, and landed. The Tasmanian left Plymouth at seven o'clock the same evening with all her passengers, and arrived at Southampton yesterday morning. Having a few cases of fever on board, she has been ordered to remain at her moor ings off Netley Hospital until such time as Dr. Wiblin, medical superintendent of quarantine, re ceives instructions from the Lords of the Privy Council, with whom he has communicated, as to the course to be adopted under the circumstances. The Tasmanian's dates are —Grey Town, Sept. 16 ; Chagres, 23 ; Jamaica, 24 ; Jacmel, 26 ; Demerara, 23 ; Tobago, 23 ; Trinidad, 24 ; Barba does, 26; Grenada, 25; St. Vincent, 25; St. Lucia, 26 ; Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Domi nique, 27 ; Antigua, 28. She brings in specie 448,673 dole. in gold ; 657,622 dols. in silver ; and pearls and jewellery valued at 13,340 dole. At Valparaiso no new light had been thrown on the Spanish question since the last mail, but an opinion that the Spaniards would not return to the Pacific was gaining ground. Peru was in an unsettled state, more especially in the southern provinces, and it will require very judicious ma nagement on the part of the government to pre vent internal strife. The Peruvian men-of-war lying at Coquimbo were expected at Valparaiso shortly. Exchange on London 4511 at GO days, and 44 to 46 at 90 days sight. At Jamaica the health of the population was good, yellow fever having completely disappeared. The weather continued favourable for sugar culti vation, and good average crops were almost certain next year. The coffee crops would not be more than the average ; in the lowlands the berry was large and quality good. The pimento crop is a failure this year, and a very few bags would be picked. At Barbadoes agricultural operations were pro gressing favourably, heavy rains had fallen, but had not injured the cane crop, and an abundant crop of cotton had been reaped. Governor Hincks and family arrived out per the Ganges on the 12th of September. Their reception wa ll very. hearty. . . .... . . . . At Trinidad during the past fortnight business bad been dull. The weather continued favour able for the planter, although unfavourable for public health. There was still a good deal of fever in the port of Spain of the typhoid type, but if treated in time it was not of a dangerous or unmanageable kind. At Grenada heavy floods had occurred in the windward part of the island. The weather gene rally had been unfavourable for crops. Cocoa was beginning to ripen on the trees, but doubts were felt as to an abundant first picking. DIRTURBANVES AT ST. MATTHIAS'S, STOKE NEW lNGTON.—Yesterday evening there were serious disturb ances at Stoke Newington. in connexion with the ritualis tic developments at the church of St. Matthias. Some hundreds of persons assembled in Goldsmith- uare, in which the church is situate, between ei and ? o'clock. After that hour, and when the church had been filled, the numbers increased, and frequently during the service loud shouts were heard from the rioters. There was scarcely anything to remark about the service in the church, which was not in any way interrupted ; indeed it was evident from the nature of the cor.gre gation that any attempted interruption would have been speedily and successfully resisted. The ser mon was preached by the Rev. C. J. Le Geyt, M.A., the incumbent of the church, who wore a white surplice, a purple stole, and the hood of an Oxford muter of arts. On entering the pulpit he made the sign of the cross, and invoked the Holy Trinity. At the close of the service, which seemed to be known outside, there was a desperate howl from the mob, and as the congregation left the church they found some thousands of persons assembled, who hissed and hooted and rather roughly used some of the parishioners ; but in consequence of the arrangements of the police very little damage was done. On a sudden • signal was given for the rioters to proceed to the house of Mr. Brett, the churchwarden, on Newingtomgrftn. There they went in a body ; there, however, again to find the police, who had arrived at the same place by a shorter route. _ _ _ ----- NOT Our OF TOWN.—A clergyman one Sunday at the close of his sermon gave notice to the congregation that in the course of the week he expected to go on a mis sion to the heathen. One of his parishioners exclaimed— " Why, my dear sir, you have never told us one word of this before. What shall we do !" " Oh, brother," said the minister, " I don't expect to go out of town." LONDON. MONDAY EVKIMIG, OCTOBER 14, 1867. THE NEW EFFINGHAM THEATRE. New theatres are now the order of the day, and; however stagnant all other branches of trading enterprise may be, the providers of public amusements show no' symptoms of fatigue and faint-heartedness. Vililtechapel has long boasted of one large and elegant theatre—the Pavilion—and it uow has another, the Effingham, known for some years as a " saloon," end for the last fifteen or twenty years as a large and well-conducted local theatre. This house and some adjoining buildings have been pulled down, and a new theatre, called "The East London," has been erected in their stead, capable, it is estimated, of ac commodating 4,000 persons. The new East London Theatre is one of the prettiest at present to be found in East London. It possesses a magnificent stage, the pro scenium decorations are novel and elegant, and, in deed, like the whole of the embellishments, re. markably chaste and agreeable to the eye. A new drop-scene has been painted for the theatre by Mr. J. Gates, formerly of the Lyceum Theatre. The front of the pit is devoted to stalls. There are two tiers of boxes. Those nearest the stage are fitted up for the accommodation of private parties. The centre of the first row of boxes is the dress circle, or rather the half circle. The centre portion of the second tier is the =phi. 1 1 theatre, and behind that the gallery, the latter well sr ranged and comfortable. The fronts of the boxes, and the ceiling—a circular one, with a sunlight insertion—are very chastely and elegantly decorated. The general get-up of the interior of the building is highly creditable to Mr.l Fenoulhat, who designed it, and under whose personal superintendence it was carried out, and to Messrs. Pashky, Newton, and Co., who supplied the various items of decoration. The architect was Mr. Modem, and the builders Mesas. Palmer and Sons. The latter gentlemen seem to have been fully alive to the importance of proper ventilation in their construction of the new East London. The performances here are of tbelsame character as those at the Victoria, City of London, Britannia, Le., and the proprietor, Mr. Morris Abrahams, has had much expe• rience in the working of a local theatre. Einibtrsittp Extelligence. CAMBRIDGE, Ocr. 12. THE AMERICAN BISHOPS IN CAMBRIDOE.—MOTS th►n usual interest in congregations was excited to-day by the knowledge that, according to graces duly passed by the senate yesterday, the degree of Honorary Doctor of Laws would be conferred upon certain of the American bishops who have taken part in the late Pan-Anglican Con ference or Synod. The names of those right reverend gen tlemen upon whom the university authorised the confer ence of the degree of Honorary Doctor of Laws have already been published ; they were eighteen in number, but of these only seven presented themselves, viz.:— Charles Pettitt DPllvaine, Bishop of Ohio ; Henry J. Whitehouse, Bishop of Illinois; Thomas At kinson, Bishop of North Carolina ; Henry Wash ington Lee, Bishop of lowa ; Henry C. Lay, Missionary Bishop of Arkansas and the Indian Territory; Charles Todd Quintard, Bishop of Tennessee ; John B. Kerfoot, Bishop of Pittsburgh. At the time announced for the assembly of the congregation the floor of theSenate house was closely occupied by an audience comprising most of the resident members, who had no official part in the proceedings of the day, and many strangers. The under graduate body was represented by about 200 of its members in the galleries. Shortly after three o'clock the Vice-Chan oellor (the Rev. Dr. Cartrnell, of Christ's College, entered, escorted, as usual, by the minks bedells, and followed by the intended recipients of degrees, each of the last named bsbited in anticipatory doctorial (scarlet) robes, and each borne %company with by a member of the Uni versity of Cambridge of doctorial rank. Amongst the members of the university present were:—The Rev. Master of Trinity. the Rev. the Provost of King's, the Rev. the Master of St. Peter's, the Rev. the Master of St. John's, the Rev. the Master of Downing, the Rev, the Master of Clare ; Professors Sedgwick, Selwyn, Lightfoot, Humpbry, and Liveing, Dr. Paget, be. The Vice-Chan cellor having assumed his position on the dais, the Ameri can bishops were presented in a body by the public orator (the Rev. Wm. Geo. Clark, of Trinity College). The orator, who was repeatedly cheered by that part of a most critical audience, who by prescription are allowed to cheer in the Senate-house, without any derogation from their acade mical rank—to wit the undergraduates—in a speech re plete with exquisite Latinity, presented the bishops to the Vice-Chancellor. The Vice• Chancellor then (Mr. Vice- Chancellor and each recipient standing) conferred the degree in all else in the usual form, the bishops being pre sented seriatim by the public orator. Each of the pre sentees on admission to his degree passed on to the dais behind the Vice-Chancellor. The public orator in his speech dwelt chiefly on the value of the maintenance of in timate and friendly relations between the two churches and the two countries. In the account of the academical status of the gentlemen recently elected Fellows of Trinity College, it was omitted to be dated that Mr. Walter B. Browne wee nineteenth wrangler (mathematical), an well as bracketed tenth classic. MYSTERIOUS DtarovErs. —A most extraordinary story is reported from an out-of-the-way part of Stafford shire. The point at which that county abuts upon Shrop shire and Worcestershire is • wild district, covered to a great extent with thickly-grown underwood, and where clear, containing only one or two small farms, and a few cottages occupied chiefly by charcoal burners. Arely Castle, now the property of a Liverpool merchant, by whom part of the district is owned, is oat far off. The other part belongs to the Earl of Dudley. The place has been long noted for the wild and lawless character of its few inhabitants. It was formerly a mining district; but so long a time has passed since any pits were worked there that almost all knowledge of them was lost. The undcrwood was so thick es to hide the mouths of the old pits, and it was only now and then that parties of char. I coal burners came upon them. One day recently some of these men were at work, and wanting water they made a search, and soon found what they suppo se d to be en old well. They drew water from it se they needed, and one of the men was astonished one day to find the sleeve of a woman's night-dress in his bucket. He called his fellow-workmen to him, and in making further search' they palled up a guano beg, which was found to contai n ! the corpse of a child. As soon as the g was opened the body fell topieoes. It had been wrapp e d in a night-gown, and placed in the bag, to which a brick la ad been tied by a string. The police were communicated with, and an inquest opened. No evidence of importance was obtained beyond the statement of a surgeon to the effect that the body must have lain in the pit for at least eighteen months. The coroner adjourned the inquest in order that a further search might be made. Men were ordered to drain the pit. The task was far from pleasant. The water was found to be so strongly impregnated with , putrescent animal matter that it was necessary to supply' the men with stimulants to enable them to continue at work. After having drawn up a great quantity of filth they reached what they supposed to be the bottom. Instead of being that, it was a quantity of tree branches which hid been tumbled in. Resting among these branches they found the bones of • second child, which bad laid in the pit a much longer time than the body I which was first found. All trace of flesh and of clothing had disappeared. Searching still further, and still raising quantities of filthy animal and earthy matter, the remains of a third body were found. These alio were fleshless, and an examination of the bones proved them to be those of a led at least six years old. It seemed quite certain I that the lad had been brutally murdered. A cord was found tied tightly round the ankles. It is noticeable that the skull was the only part of the third body which could not be found. The men at work were soon made aware that the place they were draining was of extra ordinary depth. They had found alrelOy what proved to be two false bottoms, made chiefly of brunches of trees, of underwood, and earthy matter, which has silted in with surface drainage. The inhabitants of Upper Arely, • vil lege about a mile and a half away, and of other places about, were of course greatly excited as the reports of the several discoveries were made. Then all sorts of tradi tional stories were learned, among others one in which it was stated that the pit was at least 100 yards deep, and was the shaft of • MlOO which had not been worked within the memory of the oldest inhabitant. The process of draining it has now been stopped. The police have not yet sucoeederl in obtaining any evidence as to who the children were, or by whom the were murdered. CRYSTAL PALACE.

READ, M.P., ON AORICULTURAL AFFAIRS. A meeting of the Norfolk Chamber of Agricul ture was held at Norwich on Saturday, Hr. C. B. Run, M.P., presiding, to consider the question of the employ. ment of women and children in agriculture. A report presented by the oonimittee expressed cordial • of the Agricultural Gangs Act of the past session, and added the expression of its belief that the bill would be found sufficient to cure what was certainly an exceptional, but still a great and perhaps chief evil in the employment of women and children in agriculture. The committee con sidered any restriction in the hours of labour quite urine =h, as those hours were not excessive. The committee owever, no objection to an act prohibiting the employment of children in agricultureunder nine years of age ; but if suck a restriction were imposed means must be taken that the chil dren should attend school, and not be kept at home in idleness. The committee considered that education in the rural district, of Norfolk had greatly in. creased during the last twenty years ; but notwithstand ing the great increase of school., the moral and social im provement of the labouring classes had not been such as the friends of education had • right to expect. Should a system of compulsory public education be adopted the committee protested against an educational rate being imposed solely upon real property. The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the meeting, said the em ployment in which women and children engaged in 60- ' culture were occupied was light, and the hours during which they were employed were not long. He should, there fore, dismiss the physical upsets of she qoastion, as not calling for notice ; and as to the moral aspect of the matter, he did not think there was quite so mach needed a, some persons in towns, and especially in Londou,seemed to think. It was quite right no doubt that in gangs the sexes should be separated, but as to the total separation of the sexes in all farm work, he thought they would join with him in saying that it was impossible. For instance, men could not be carting barley in one field and women raking it in another. (Laughter.) It was rather at play time than when they were at work that any evil arose ; and supposing you kept the sexes separate on a farm you could not keep them separate at dinner time. Everybody knew that when you went into a village street at 9or 10 1 o'clock at night you saw great boys and girls larking about, and in all probability some of those greet boys and girls slept in the same room when they got home. As to the employment of women and ; children in agriculture a great deal of what he might call sentimental twaddle had been talked. It was said that it was repugnant to the refinement and delicacy of females to be employed in agri culture, and he supposed in time that the delicacy of dairy maids would not allow them to go out milking, while cook maids would say that the dressing and trussing a fowl was such extremely disgusting work that they mast have a man to attend to such occupations. (Laughter.) Women engsged in agriculture were sometimes the subject of pity, and, sometimes of reprobation ; their dress even did not per without comment. Ile knew a lady who was milked what she thought of the dress of the agricultural female labourers of Norfolk, and she replied In the fashionable vigorous language of the present day, that it was " awtnlly disgusting.' (Laughter.) Well, he did not mean to say , that that dress we, elegant, or, perhaps, even becoming, but he was quite sure that it was useful ; and if you sew the women who won, it on Sundays, you ; would find that they then had their parasols, their veils, their crinoline, and all those other adorn ment.' which were supposed to be indications of the civilisation of the day. (laughter.) He thought field labour had been unduly blamed; it was not field labour which did the harm, but the persons who were employed in it. Some gentlemen said that when • poor girl went to field work she was contaminated and spoiled ; but be con tended that in all probability she was contaminated and ' spoiled before she got there. It might just as well be mid that gaols made people bad or that workhouses made people poor as to say that field work made people vicious. 'lf there was a girl who was good for nothing she was the ' girl who went to field work. As regarded older women, he thought that if • woman were the mother of ever so small ; • family, and that family were young, she was far better at home; but there were many women who had little em ' oyment in their homes, and they found field labour both healthy and acceptable, the 4s. which they brought home weekly being • pleasant addi tion to their husbands' wages. He thought a girl of 11 or 12 was as strong as a boy of about that age, and he con tended that there was no good farming without the assist ' awe of this juvenile and female labour. He had travelled in different counties, he had lived in Wales, and be had also been in Scotland, and be never saw a well cultivated farm in his life on which some women and children had not been employed. In Scotland, where agriculture was ' carried on with the greaten perfection, there were more ' women employed in farming than in England; and there were certain fiddling operations on a farm for which the nimble fingers of children were particularly adapted. With regard to the educational part of the question, the com mittee observed in the report that the, had no objection whatever to be limited to the ego at which children should ' be employed in agriculture, and that they should not be ern. ployed under 9 years of age. He was sure, however, that unless • boy went to work when be was 9 or 10 years of age he would not make a good labourer. There were certain . seasons of the year when women and children ware em ployed, and must be employed in agriculture, but there I were also periods when • greet portion of them might be readily dispensed with. It was important to remember that all redrictioes as to the employment of children I would fall heavily upon their parents ; the farmers would hardly feel them. Farmers were not opposed to educe: • tion • on the contrary, they wished their labourers to be educated, for all other things being equal, the educated labourer was certainly the best. He did not think the guardians of Norfolk could be charged with haviog irg ieg ; cati leated the education of pauper children ; the of Id. per week was so trifling, that it did not enter into their calculations. With regard to school attendance on alternate days or weeks, I such • system for children employed in agri ' culture would be perfectly useless to the farmer--it must be something like so many hours in the year. We must still look to night schools and Sunday schools for perfecting and keeping up education among our rural population. He thought compulsory education was not needed. If we bad compulsory education we must very soon have an educational rate, and then, as s matter of Icourse, you would undo all the voluntary efforts which had done so much good. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of KIX IMBIET said be had listened with the attention which it deserved to the speech of his honourable friend (Mr. Read), but he thought that I in one respect the hon. gentleman rather contradicted him self. First of all he said that there was no evil in the employment of women in the fields, and then that none but the worst kind of women took part in it. But if this were so, it showed that the system of female field labour was not a good one, at the same time he thought it was out of the question to prohibit , altogether the employment of women in the fields, as the people had from habit been so long accustomed to it, and so many people depended upon it. With respect to the gang system, he concurred in the paragraph in the report upon it. He took some part during the past session in • strongly recommending that some legislation should take ' place on the subject, he had a good deal of communication with his noble friend Lord Shaftesbury about it, and he thought the bill of last session would be found sufficient for the purpose. As to the age below which the employ ! meat of children in the fields should be prohibited, he concurred with what Mr. Read had said when he remarked that boys should commence agricultural employment at an early age. With regard to girls, be thought be should prefer a little higher limit ; the subject west, however, a diff . cult one, because if girls went out into the fields when they were rather older they were exposed to greater moral dangers, while if they went out at an early age they were exposed to hardships to which it was not desirable to sub ject them. With respect to a restriction of the hours of labour, parliament in passing the factory seta bad inter fered in the most stringent manner between employers and employed ; that legislation had met with great success, and in the reformed parliament it would probably be further extended. There was no reason why agricultural labour should be an exception ; in principle he saw no dis tinction whatever between agricultural labour and manu facturing labour. The Factory Acts met with the most vigorous opposition from the manufacturers, while the landed interest, not feeling the pinch of the interference, ardently advocated them. Now the tables were turned. (Laughter.) With regard to educa tion he thought his bon. friend in the chair was right when be said that if you had compulsory education you must also have a compulsory rate for education ; and he (Lord Kimberley) was unquestionably on principle in favour of an educational rate, although he saw no reason why it should fall exclusively upon real property ; on the oontrary, it should fall on the g eneral wealth of the nation. His feeling was that good as the voluntary system might be, it would never reach all parts of the country, but that there would always be exceptional places where the volun tau y system would practically fail. The burthen of schools now fell upon the clergy and philanthropic persons, whereas it should fall on all classes. With regard to the improvement of cottage accommodation he thought we must not be too impatient, but that we should see its fall effects on another generation. (Cheers.) Several other gentlemen having addressed the chamber, the report was adopted.

NIALL AND THE RONAN CATHOLIC ELECTORS OF BRADFORD. We learn from the Leed3 Mercury that the fol lowing correspondence has taken place between the Rev. Canon Kotler, of St. Mary's Roman catholic church, Stott hill, Bradford, who is very popular among the members of his communion in the town, and Mr. Wall : "St. Mary's Catholic Church, Bradford, Oct. 5, 1867. " Dear Sir,—As a candidate for the votes of the people at the coming election, will you kindly tell me how far you are disposed to use your influence, if elected to re present us in parliament, to remove from her Majesty's catholic subjects all just grounds of complaint, and to put them in a position of enjoying equal liberty and privilers with all others in the exercise of their religion? M ill you endeavour to protect catholic prisoners and the catholic poor in workhouses from being proselytised or subject to inconveniences on account of their religion? Will you endeavour to procure for them proper facilities for prac tising their religion, and for being instructed themselves, and having their children instructed by their own clergy ? I am deeply convinced that the discontent in I r eland ori ginates in the hardships to which the catholic people of that country have been subject, and In the neglect of our government in not passing such laws as are necessary for the protection of the interests of the poor and for the prosperity of the country, and especially with regard to the land question. Will you do all you can to make our Irish fellowmubjecta contented, so that they may be happy and loyal ? Will you try to free the esthetics of that country from theeuit sneendanoy of asniall minority. by removing the protestan t church estehlislunent from the country, of whic they so justly comp Lain ? Will you try to satisfy the just wishes of the catholic people of Ireland on the education question? and to enact such laws as shall be found necessary to protect the interests of the people in the tenure of land? You have already expressed your self publicly on some of these points, but perhaps you will oblige me with brief answers to the various questions. —I am, deer sir, yours truly, " JOHN ISIOTLER. Mr. Edward MialL" (REPLY. ) " Bradford, Oct. 7, 1867. " Rev. Sir,—l sincerely apologise for having kept you so long without an answer to the inquiries you did me the honour to make is your letter of the !Sth of October. I have found it extremely difficult to get even a moment's leisure amid the numerous and heavy engagements which have daily devolved upon me, since 1 saw you, until now. You asked me whether, if elected to represent Brad ford in parliament, I am willing to remove from her Majesty's catholic subjects all just ground of complaint, and to put them in a position of enjoying equal liberty end privileges with others in the exercise of their religion. I dietuictly and cheerfully reply in the affirmative. It has been the object of my labours through life to secure for all her Majesty's subjects, of every religious faith, per fect equality in the sight of the Liw. You further inquire whether I am willing to protect catholic prisoners and the catholic poor in workhouses from being prose lytised or subject to inconveniences on account of their religion, and whether I will do my beet to procure for them proper facilities for practi sing their religion, and for being instructed them selves and having their children instructed, by their own clergy. I answer, that as far as in me lilt, such has been my endeavour hitherto, and such will be my endeavour in time to come, • not by constraint, but willinglL' a s i being but a practica! exemplification of my own r es. I believe with you that the discontent the Irish population has originated in the neglect by the imperial legislature of the interests of the poor. lam moat anxious to do them . justice and promote such measures in rela tion to both the tenure of land and to the abolition of the protestant church establishment as are calculated to make them happy and loyal. I have laid great stress upon both these points in all my public Witnesses to the people of Bradford. Finally, I will try to give eatisfaction to the wishes of the catholic people in regard to all matters re- lating to education, and shall assert for them all the privi leges which in fairness I should be disposed to yield to any others.—l am, rev. sir, yours very faithfully, " Rev. Canon Moiler." " EDWARD /MALL. POLITICAL EDUCATION OF THE WORKING CLAW,E.4.—A short time since Mr. Howell, secretary to the Reform League, was directed to write to a number of gentlemen dieting:fished either in the political or literary world, asking them if they would consent to deliver lec tures in London on political subjects for the working classes, the object being to educate the latter in the polities of the day, especiilly as bearing upon their own condition in life. Among those to whom the application was made were Mr. J. Bright, M.P. ; Mr. J. S. Mill, M.P. ; Mr. J. Statuteld, M.P. ; Professor Fawcett, M.Y. ; Mr. Ernest Jones, Professor Goldwin Smith, Professor rites, Pro teaser Rogers, Professor Barely, Sm. Several letters have been received by the secretary of the League approving the scheme. Professor Fawcett, writing from Salisbury on Friday, says :—" I shall be very glad to comply with your request that I would deliver a lecture. The subject I shall select will be 'The Future of our Rural Population.' This will give me an opportunity of showing the importance of reducing the suffrage in counties, of extending educa tion, and altering the land laws." Mr. Stansfeld, M.P., says, "I like your plan," and promises to communicate with the secretary on the subject of his lecture. It is in tended that three lectures shall be delivered before Christ mas, and a course of six or nine commenced immediately afterwards.

Considering that the Halesworth district IBlything hundred) • purely agricultural one, already contained such a large proportion of liberal elec tors as to poll 300 for Colonel Adair against 200 for Alr.

THE UNION OF LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE INSTITUTES—The annual meeting of the Lancashire and Yorkshire 'Telenet Mechanics' Institutes was held on Satur day, at the Mechanics' Institution, Manchester ; Mr. Alder man _Rumps, presided. About 100 delegates were present. The report from Dr. l'ankhurst, secretary, in which were embodied those of the secretaries of the various other institutes, stated that there were 121 institutes in union, of which 12 had been admitted in the past year. Reports had been received from 84, and it appeared that the number of members in them was 24,000, of whom over 4,000 were females. Of Id of these the income exceeded 14,0001. In reference to government science chases, or what is termed technical education, the report was cx. esedingly favourable. The number under instruction in Md was stated at 6,552, of which Lancashire alone ' l ll3O. Next to this stood the London district, which 1041,290 ; while Yorkshire had only 370. The certificates ' ebtained in the government science examination, in the mist were 1,014, as against 6:13 in the present year. The i report stated that especial attention had been paid during the past year to female education. Amongst the resolutions agreed to was one proposed by Dr. Watts, recummending an improved system of @den tine teaching, and urging that the national utility of such a scheme would depend upon the efficiency with which elementary education was promoted in the schools of the country generally. In moving his resolu tion, Dr. Watts recommended elementary education in free and aided schools, supported by hied rates. He would enforce attendance ; parent, to choose the school ; no interference to be allowed with the internal arrange ments of the schools. He would have free grammar schools ' endowed as college schools, for the best pupils from the elementary schools. In cases wlic re the ~runts were willing to forego the work and wages of a child, he would add science teaching to such schools, so as to pre pare youths for trades as well as profeasjoes. To meet the wants of another claim parallel with these bib schools be would have science classes attached to mechanics'institu tions, for youthswho 11notavail themselves of these oou.t higher schools to carry on this technical edneation. He also advocated payment by results, regardless of whether the pupils held certificates or not, and paid a high tribute to Mr. R. Lowe in reference to this point. lie alluded to the recent signal change on the subject of educatior, as to state aid, in the sentiments of such men as Mr. Mild!, Mr. E. Baines, and Mr. Samuel Morley, and cited them as • favourable augury for this future. Other speakers tined similar views, and instances were adduced to show the necessity for • comprehensive system of science education if we would desire to keep pace with *age in which we live.
