ROME. (mom ova erzcw, col ROME, MARCH 15, Although the news seems much too good to be true, it is nevertheless a fact which no longer admits of any kind of doubt, that, called in by special invitation from the Vatican, the troops of Victor Emmanuel are at this moment in possession of the two southern Pontifical provinces, known under the names of Maritime and Campagna re spectively, the former of which has Terracina fo its chief town, and the latter Frosinone. The importance of this gratifying piece of intelligence, which 11 , ringing through Rome this morning, ap pears to me so considerable that I lose no time in putting you in possession of the bare fact, without waiting for the details, which we shall probably learn shortly. That it was only the very direst necessity which drove the Pontifical government to apply to Victor Emmanuel for the loan of soldiers I need hardly explain. For the fact is, that, having to choose, on the one hand, between the apparently suicidal measure of calling in Italian troops toprotect them, or, on the other, altogether abandoning the unfor tunate inhabitants of the southern provinces to the mercy of the brigands, the Holy Father came to the creditable decision of pocketing his pride, and applying to the King of Italy for assistance. Be fore acceding to the request of the Pope the Italian government is reported to have made the single stipulation that Italian troops should not be called upon to co-operate with the Pontifical Zouaves, against whom so bitter a feeling is spread throughout Italy, as well as the Roman States, that it were earnestly to be desired that the regi ment be forthwith disbanded. That the personal influence of the Holy Father, which is only too seldom powerfully exerted, should have availed to carry through the College of Cardi nals, where it met with a strong opposition, so im portant a measure as that of a resolution to apply to Victor Emmanuel for assistance, seems indeed a happy augury for the future, and leads one to hope that it is yet possible that Pio Nono may break loose from the influence of Antonelli, and, in his last days, recover at least a portion of his former extraordinary popularity. It was rumoured yesterday in Rome that the unfortunate Polini, Prince Orsini's agent, who was lately carried off from the estate of Fossa Nuova, in the Pontine marshes, and for whose ransom 6,000 scudi were paid to the brigands, had notwithstand ing been shot by orders of Andreozzi, the chief of the band. I am requested, in the name of the Roman free masons, to let it be known that they have for warded a subscription of 500 francs to the com mittee formed in Paris for the purpose of erecting a memorial to Voltaire. FENIAN OBJECTS EXPLAINED BY A FENIAN. The Paris Liberti of Tuesday publishes a letter of which the following is a translation : 81r,—Permit me to ray a few words in reply to an arti cle entitled " The Insurrection of the Fenian", published by yes in the Liberti of the 17th Mareh, 1867. M. W. de Fonvielle, the writer of the article in question, is certainly ignorant of our plans, our resources, and our organisation ; but what he cannot and ought not to be ignorant of is our object and our principles, affirmed in a proclamation ren dered public by the English, Belgian, and German papers. We have wished to efface from the opinion of the people. the reproach of Castelfidardo, and give to the world a gsuge of our republican principles and our social aspirations. That is why we have inscribed in capital letters upon our proclamation this sentence—" We aim at founding a re public based on universal suffrage, which shall secure to all the intrinsic value oh their labour." The national soil, the abolition of salaries, and the republican form based on universal suffrage, such is what is desired by the Ireland of 1867, regenerated by the stay of its exiles in America. What WIN that in common with the programme of John Bright ? Not even universal suffrage, which he is against. Why then would you fasten us to the skirts of one man' We are a people and a prin ciple—that is to say, the eternal and the abeolute, Can • principle be vanquished? Why, therefore, do you say we are vanquished! Did not Christianity commence by defeats? Did it not, like ua,water the ground with the blood of its martyrs? Ours yield in nothing to those of the primitive ages, and if their voices, stifled in the dun goons of England, could come here to protest against your strange advice, and your still stranger criticisms, not one would use any other language than that which I use to you at this moment in their name and in that of all prole tarian Ireland. Our movement is only commencing, and is not about to finish. As to battles, we shall avoid instead of seeking them until we are strong enough to gain them. As for our alliance with the English reformers, it is a fait amoral:di ; if you doubt it you have only to read the reso lutions adopted at the last meeting. But by reformers we understand those who mean to go radically to the bottom of the movement, and not those who officially assume the direction of it. I add that • nation and a principle are strong enough to await all from time without ever claiming extenuating circumstances even from the generosity of another nation. The insurrection, or rather the revolution, ollows the course it ought to follow. Compromised for an instant by the unskilful seal of some leaders who, like ns, love to give battle, it has resumed its tranquil course ; our men no more die of hunger and cold than fear the English flying columns ; and the reform of Mr. J. Bright will not prevent any member of the organisation from being at his post, or from doing his duty in conformity with the orders' of the provisional government. I avail myself of this cir cumstance to appeal to the sympathy of the generous people of France in favour of our cause.:l am, &c., THOXAS KZLLT. M. GARRER'S STATUE OF ADAM SMITH. H. Gasser, an eminent artist of Vienna, has executed a statue of this great economist. The statue is rather larger than life, and the material is the finest statuary marble. The artist has composed the likeness from the only two existing portraits of Adam Smith, with remarkable genius and fidelity. Some photographs of the model and of the statue, now nearly finished, and a small facsimile in plaster, have been exhibited for some time past in the reading-room of the Bodleian Library, and have been greatly admired. The artistic merits of the statue have been certified by Mr. Lumley, her Majesty's Minister at Dresden ; by Mr. Mallet, who lately negotiated the com mercial treaty with Austria; by M. Ruben, the director of the Imperial Academy of Arts at Vienna; by M. Von Engert, the director of the Imperial Academy of Pictures ; by Baron Sicken, the curator of the Imperial Museum of Antiquities, and sworn arbiter in questions of Art ; and by M. Mulnitx, an eminent sculptor of Vienna. M. Gasser engages to deliver the finished statue at any British port for the sum of 700/., a very moderate sum for a work of great beauty and merit. In the belief that the erection of the statue in some one of the buildings belong ing to the university would be a fitting tribute to the memory of one among the moat illustrious persons who have received their education in Oxford, the following gentlemen have agreed to act as a committee, with a view to purchasing the statue and presenting it to the Uni versity of Oxford--The Right Hon. Lord Taunton, the Right Hon. the Lord Justice General of Scotland, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., the Very Rev. the Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, the Master of Balliol, and the Rev, Jame! E. There'd Rogers, Professor of Political Economy at Oxford. Subscriptions in aid of this fund may be paid to the Master of Balliol, treasurer; to Professor Rogers, secretary ; to the Old Bank, Oxford ; or to Messrs. Coutts and Co., 59, Strand. Handel's great oratorio, Israel in Egypt, will be given at Exeter-hall on Wednesday, the 27th, by the Na tional Choral Society, with a band and chorus of 700 per formers. Conductor, Mr. 0. W. Martin.

At Lagos the new oil season was expected to be very good, but trade was dull. At Accra trade was also dull, in consequence of a disturbance which had taken place in the interior.

Letters from Vienna state that a decided im provement has very recently taken place in the relations between France and Austria, and an almost perfect harmony established between the two imperial cabinets in their views on the Eastern question. It will be recollected that not long ago a propo- sition aas brought forward by France, on a pre arranged understanding with Russia, recommend ing, as a means of solution of the intricate Orien tel question, the surrender by the Porte of Epirus, Thessaly, and the island of Camila, to the benefit of the kingdom' of Greece, with a guarantee by the protecting great Powers of the remainder of Turkey to the Sultan. Austria, being in complete accord in her views with England on this point, was compelled by her p osi tion to assume an attitude of reserve towards this project, and pointed out that this programme, if carried out, would be the commencement of a:formal dismemberment of the Ottoman empire, which would impose upon h e r I the ditty to guar d her own interests. These sug gestions were not without effect at Paris, fur they resulted in the abandonment by the Imperial French cabinet of the original plan, at least so far as the surrender of Epirus and Thessaly was con cerned. As regards Candia, the cession of that island to Greece was considered more recommend able, seeing that the Turkish forces with months of time on hand, have failed to establish the au thority of the Ottoman Wile, and to force the Can ' diotes into submission. This restricted proposition Austria declared herself willing to support, and it may therefore be taken for granted that an under standing between Austria and France on all points of detail will be shortly concluded. It is also ex pected that England, as well as Russia, will ac cord assent to this arrangement. The cession of Candia to Greece is a question of only subordinate interest for Austria, inasmuch as it does not affect the vital existence of Turkey, whilst a forced abandonment of Epirus and Thessaly would be regarded by the statesmen of Vienna as the fore runner of a general dissolution of that empire. Information has been received at Belgrade, according to which the Turkish government has consented to the evacuation of the Berrien fortresses, without insisting upon any onerous conditions. Nevertheless, the Austrian government continues to have a watchful eye on the neighbour ing provinces of Turkey, the more so as there is every reason to believe that a treaty of alliance has 1 1 been concluded between Servia and Montenegro, having for its object the establishment of a great Servian kingdom, and the consequent overthrow of the Turkish dominion in Bosnia, the Herzegovina, and Bulgaria. Such a consummation would be a violation of the interests of Austria. The back-lands of Dalmatia, viz., Bosnia and Herzegovina, must be either Turkish or Austrian, or Austria s position on the Adriatic Sea is lost. These considerations en join upon the imperial government the unwelcome obligation to take certain precautionary military raeasures, which are, however, of a purely defensive oharacter. The reports current during the last few days of the soldiers on furlough having been re called, and a corps d'armcce stationed on the Bosnian frontier, is a great exaggeration of what is really the caw. No one is more zealously disposed for the maintenance of peace than Austria, and only the necessity of self-defence will induce her to join the other great powers in assuming an attitude of armed intervention. The Roumanian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Beysade Stirbey, son of the former Hospodar of Wallachia, has arrived at Vienna, and is the inter preter of the moat friendly dispositions of Prince Charles towards Austria, which have been recipro cated by the Vienna cabinet. The presence of his Excellency at the Austrian capital has given occa sion to enter into negotiations for the conclusion of several treaties of commercial intercourse, the question of jurisdiction over the Austrian subjects in Roumania, and the establishment of inter national relations, as well as the appointment of permanent diplomatic agents, such as have been already nominated by Roumania for Paris and Constantinople. Special plenipotentiaries will shortly be commissioned to arrange in an amicable manner the details of the several above-named subjects. NEW ARTILLERY FOR THE FRENCH FLEET,—The Oa:Me du Midi publishes a oommunication from Toulon, announcing that the French squadron is about to have its artillery completely changed. Sixty enormous breech loaders, on improved carriages, are now ready, and are to be substituted for the guns at present in use. " The ope ration," says the Gazette dr Midi , " will commence with the Solferino and the Curonne, which will land their numerous artillery in order to receive the guns of the new type ; there will be fewer pieces, hut they will be of greeter power, and quantity will be advantageously replaced by quality. The other iron-clads will in turn be similarly supplied, and as soon as this ch►nge is effected the French fleet will be able to contend with impunity against all the Monitors past, present, and future."

NEWMAN AT OXFORD.—The Westminster Gazette having stated that Dr. Newman's Oxford mission must not be taken as an authoritative sanction of mixed education, to which the church is strenuously opposed, • Roman catholic writes to the Guardian .—" About • year ago it became known that Dr. Newman had again been asked by his diocesan to undertake the mission of Oxford, but that be was unwilling, as was natural under the cir cumstances, to do so without the express sanction of the Holy See. This has now been obtained, and in January last Dr. Newman issued a circular requesting subscrip tions for his new church and oratory at Ox ford, a copy of which is now lying before me, and which, I may observe, refers to that relaxation of legal restric tions' which now for the first time enables catholic', as such, to appear there at all, but gives no countenance to the notion that he is going there toopen • kind of catholic Propaganda, the absurdity of which, indeed,' to adopt the language of the Westaiiiistcr Gazette, 'is its own refuta tion.' Nor would it be any more reasonable to suppose that be goes there merely to take charge of the few scores of tradesmen and poor who make up the parochial congre gation of St. Clement's, and whom the excellent and zealous priest now stationed there is perfectly competent to attend to. That the Holy See has given any direct sanction to Roman catholics going to the university no body ever supposed, nor was there any call un it to com promise itself by any such utterance in the matter ; but what is certain and notorious is, that Dr. Newman's pre- pence at Oxford will be au indirect sanction and • very direct practical encouragement to their going there ; that Dr. Newman 'e intended move has on this account, and this alone, been from the first strenuously opposed by all who are hostile Rothe education of catholic' at Oxford, and as strenuously supported by all who are in favour of it. Meanwhile there are already (converts apart) souls half dozen catholic', or more, at Christchurch, and as many at other colleges, and the number is sure to increase." FUNERAL OF THE DEAN OF HEREFORD.—The Dean of Hereford, the Very Rev. Richard Dawn, was con signed to the grave, in the Cloister-yard adjoining Here ford Cathedral, on Saturday last. At 12 o'clock the great bells of the cathedral and city churches tolled, and for is time there was almost an utter cessation of business throughout the city. The cathedral close and precincts of the deanery were thronged with hundreds of people of all classes, and as the procession left the deanery and reached the majestic western entrance to the cathedral the crowd was immense. The entire nave of the cathe- ' deal and side chapels were filled with many of the leading citizens, people from the country, and some few personal friends of the late dean. Many influential gentlemen not belonging to the established church. including several Ho. man catholics of distinction, were present. The students of the Hereford College sat alone inoneof theside chapels. The officiating clergy, Dr. Jehh, the Rev. Lard Saye and Sele, Sir Frederick Onseley, Bart. ; the Rev. T. Havergel and the Rev. John Goes (succentors) and choir, all BUT pliced, met the corpse, and preceding it up the nave, sang Croft's beautiful Burial Service. The procession was cer tainly imposing, and as the congregation roes es mass , as the corpse entered the cathedral, the sight was one that will not easily be forgotten, The Nelms were rung to minor keys. Lonl Saye and Sole read the lesson. A pro cession was then formed to the grave, which was in a deso late spot, in summer-time a mass of nettles and rank weeds, situated near the old cloisters leading to the bishop's palace, government not allowing the dean to be buried in the cathedral as it was wished. Here the body was consigned to its common dust, the sides of the grave being only bricked to the height of the coffin. The sing ing at the grave was excellent, except in Spohr's "Blessed are the departed," the leading boy breaking down from grief, and instead of taking up his part, bursting into tears. The dean's brother, his aster-in-law, and the Lady Says and Sele were chief mourners. THE CHARGES OF FRAUD AGAINST A LEEDS STOPEBROREit —Wester Hitching, sharebroker, of Leeds, was brought up yesterday on remand, charged with having misappropriated securities valued at 2,0001. which had been deposited with him for safe custody by D r.i Frobisher, of Woodhouse-lane. The court was again crowded, several ladies being amongst those present. The prisoner (who stood in the dock) covered his face with his hands during most of the time the examination proceeded. The evi dence of Dr. Frobisher, given last week, was read by Mr. Barr (magistrates' clerk), after which Mr. Barr asked if the bonds could be traced, and was answered in the nega tive. Dr. Frobisher (on being cross-examined by Mr. Pullen), said he paid for the bonds W. 10s. each. They were 100/. bonds. The prisoner had no autho rity from him to receive the interest. The in terest belonged to him (Dr. Frobisher). He only received at first from the prisoner 2/. 10s. a fortnight. The bonds were delivered to the prisoner simply for safe custody. He bad no power to " loan them. Finally he received in terest at the rate of rd. is fortnight. The securities depo sited with the prisoner consisted of four Turkish bond, of 500/. each. Prisoner never explained by what means he was enabled to pay 10 per cent. for the bonds. Witness had no idea he was speculating with them. With respect to the five life policies he had received from the prisoner as security, he had ascertained thatone of them, for 2,0001., was good ; and that two of the others, for 1,0001. each, were also in force. At this stage of the inquiry a long con. sultation took place between the bench and Mr. Barr, on the termination of which it was announced that in the ehaenre of Mr. Walter Hitching (the prisoner's brother) and Mr. Couldwell (recently in the employ of the prisoner as clerk), and other witnesses, the ease could proceed no further at present. Mr. Puller; applied for an adjourn ment till next Monday, at twelve o'clock, which was agreed to.—Leeds Erasing Express. ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. —The paper to be read at the evening meeting on Monday next Sir Roderick I. Murchison, Bart., president, in the chair, is " The Last Journey of Dr. Livingstone—Despatches from Dr. G. li. Seward and Dr. J. Kirk." [TWOPENCE ROYAL HOSPITAL FOB INCURABLES. The anniversary festival of this excellent institu tion was held yerterday evening, lathe London Tavern, un der the presidency of Lord &Lir°, ILP., and was attended by about 200 friends of the hospital, among whom were the Bishop of Grafton and Armidale, Mr. Henry Huth (treasurer of the institution), Colonel Lsbrow, Captain Mackenzie, Captain Dighton, Dr. Dickson, R.N. Mr. T. Thornton, Mr. Thomas Dix, Mr. G. B. Woo ll ey, gr. T. Kelsey, kn. From the report for the twelfth year of the society's existence, it appears that the number of patients at the end of 1866 was as follows :—lnmates, 101 ; pen sioners' 156. Total, Z 7. This number includes 17 inmates and 42 pensioners elected, and 15 inmates admitted on payment. The total number of beneficiaries from the commencement of the charity is 432. The health of the inmates generally has not been affected by the unfavourable influences of the past season; The pension list has much increased, and the public have fully appreciated this branch of the charity. The means of obtaining medicine and comforts are sent to upwards of 150 home*, and the pensioners, relieved from complete dependence, may command the ungrudging ministry of kinsfolk and friends. Much has been done to adapt the hospital to its special uses ; and throughout the an ments regard been had not only to the useful but the pleasing. In this latter respect the board are indebted to friends for presents of books, pictures, artificial flowers, and other suitable ad ditions. The hospital is nearly full ; there are not more than twenty vacancies. A wing is about to be added to the present building, which will thus form a complete edifice, the original mansion being the centre ; and the contemplated additions include an infirmary, for which 1,1001. had been subscribed before the end of last year. Contributions are invited for the building or the endowment of special wards to beer a distinctive name, and in such cans the wishes of &donor are to he consulted, and his design will enter into the general plan ; 10,0001. will be required for the scheme of extension. Tho Chairman, in proposing " Prosperity to the Institution," referred to a visit which he had paid to the institution that day, and expressed the greet pleasure which he felt at observing how much was done to alleviate sufferings which had so strong a claim to human sympathy and be neficence. He concluded with an earnest appeal for funds to enable the committee to carry out the enlargement of the building. The donations announced in the course of the evening reached an aggregate of 4,500/. The musical arrangements, which were under the direction of Mr. Edwin Gray, were most satisfactory, the artistes being Mims Rose Hence, Miss Palmer, Mr. Young, Mr. Chaplin Henry, and Mr. R. Farquharson BRITISH HoROLOOICAL INSTITCT6.—The annual diuner of this scientific society was held last evening at the Guildhall Tavern ; the Lord Mayor in the chair. The entertainment was extremely successful. The object of the Horological Institute is to improve the principles and practice of watchmaking by means of lectures, chimes, and a published periodical. It also fosters some benevolent pro jects. Prizes are given to members producing the best papers on horology, and a library and museum of ancient aerological specimens are maintained for the use of mem bers. Mr. Jones, one of the vice-presidents, in responding to the health of the corporation, humourously reminded the Lord Mayor that the m agn e t body of which he was the chief had hitherto neglected to prov ide the City of London with an answer to th e question, What's o'clock ?"—a re mark that was loudly cheered by the assembled horologists. The Lord Mayor, in giving the toast of " The scientific institutions," commented upon the growing attention to science demanded in every branch of our commerce and manufacture. It was to this we bad to attribute the con tinned commercial supremacy of the country. Professor Tomlinson, of King's College, returned thanks, lauding the conjuncture of science and the useful arts, which he described as twin sisters of an uncertain and varied age. Mr. 1 V. Kniight, the president of the society, in returning thanks for the toast of his health, showed bow successful the mode_ y had been during the year. " Prove, ity to the Britlah Horological Institute" was proposed by the Lord Mayor, who said that no doubt the clock trade of England had much deteriorated, and as the manufacture of watches did not increase with the requirements of the population, the same might probably be said of the watch trade. He feared our watchmakers did not use the appliances of ma chinery as much as they might, and earnestly implored the society to find out why it was their trade was depart ing. Mr. Johnson, vice-president, responded to the toast. Other speeches followed. TOTTENHAM AND HAMPSTEAD JPNCTION RAIL WAT.—The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday at the offices, No. 2, West minster Chambers, Captain Arrow, the chairman of the board of directors, presiding. The directors' report stated that the railway and stations under contract were on the eve of completion, and that with a f.-w week, of tine wea ther the line would be ready for public traffic. The rail way would be worked by the Great Eastern and the Mid i land Railway Connsiniee, under powers contained in the company's act of 186.5. Independently of the residential and coal traffic of the district, the railway would offer to Tottenham and Edmonton and to the densely crowded population of the Tower Hamlets a ready access to Hemp stmul-heath, Kew, Richmond, Hampton-court, and Wind sor. The company was acquiring land fur the junction with the Midland Railway at Kentish-town priTaratory to the contract being let.

Mr. Nottnan, one of the auditors, also retired and offered himself for re-elec tion. The report of the engineers (Messrs. Met 'lean and Stileman) stated that the earthwork and works of the main line were complete, and the permanent way was laid from Kentish-than Station to the mottles with the Great Eastern at Tottenham, which was nearly finished. The completion of the stations had been greatly impeded by the unfavourable weather, especially of the last few weeks, which had caused an almost entire suspanaion of work, but in the event of fine weather the stations would soon be completed. The motion as to the adoption of the directors' report having been formally proposed by the chairman, and seconded by the deputy chairman (Mr. George Reed), was unanimously adopted. The retiring director and auditor were re-elected and the proceedings terminated. On Monday last the Rev.

A LIBERAL CHURCH BUILDER. —On Wednesday the ceremony of laying the first stone of the new church at Thornton Hough, Neaten, Cheshire. took place, when Mr. Hurst, who is its founder, and who is also providing schools and a parsonage house at his own mot, addressed a few homely wools to those assembled, intimating that in the new church there would be no charge made for its °can petion, that it would be entirely free to all, that when in side the church he and they would be on the same footing, and that any one who went early to church, and went there before him, would or could take precedence of him self in respect to seats. A FENIAN ALARM IN SCOTLAND.—An extraordi nary alarm of Fenianiam was created in Strannter on fia turdey, by the receipt of au anonymous letter addressed to the magistrates, and a telegram from the commander of H.M.S. Lion, lying at Greenock, to Captain M'Kerlie, commander of the oomtguard stationed along this coast. In consequence of the information contained in the letter both the artillery and ride volunteer corps were suddenly assembled for parade, and a telegram was sent to the commander of the Lion to deapat..ll a gun boat at once for Streamer. The gunboat Harpy arrived at the roadstead there during the night, and detachments ' of volunteers were placed on duty all night at the Artil lery Battery on the shore, in order to guard the magazine containing the ammunition for the big guns, and another squad was placed in charge of the small arms and ammu nition of both corps, which were stored in the Old Castle, while a third paraded the streets till morning, in order to prevent a surprise. During the whole of Mond:iy and Monday night the same strict guard was kept over the stores, but up to Monday evening none of the rebels had made their appearance, and the sensation which was created has now for the most part subsided. —Glasgow Herald. _ _ THE FENIAN MOVEMENT IN IRELAND.—ci ders' News of yesterday sayie—" The' Fenian movement' has become stationary for the present, at least, and the members of the conspiracy are now hiding their dimi nished heads wherever they may obtain shelter from the vigilant eyes of police or soldiery. The city is unusually quiet, and our reports from all parts of the country repre sent an equally peaceful state of affairs. are, of co urse, unable to say whether there will be any other move ment ; but the authorities are still vigilant, and pre pared to meet it. Their watchfulness ought not to be re lased for some time to come." The inqw , st on the body of Alfred Bradley, who was killed by a random shot fired from the Mountmellick police barrack on the 9th instal t, the barrack was attacked by a drunken man named Dillon, was resumed on Tuesday. The jury, after hearing the evidence, returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased wee killed by a shot fired by a party of police men engaged in defending their barrack from an attack made upon it. - - -1
