Mr. Gladstone has written a letter to the official journal denying the account of his interview with the Pope published by the Corriere Italian() and other journals. The news published by some continental journals of a hostile manifestation made by the Roman Legion on the occasion of its receiving the Pon tifical flag is entirely devoid of foundation.

Austria, especially, is able only to employ earnest representations and peaceful mediation when peace is endangered in the East. This course is necessitated not only by motives of justice and policy, but also by the affinity of race which exists between some of the Austrian populations and their kinsmen on Turkish territory." The article then advises the Porte to yield to the demands of Beryls, and adds :—" The best solu tion of the Eastern question would probably be the maintenance of the political tie uniting the Christian population with the Turkish government, which would not interfere with their independence at home, and yet would secure that independence against aggression from abroad. If the Christian races could be moderate in their demands, and if the Porte would adopt the politic course of letting those whom it can no longer retain under its do minion depart without a struggle, dangers threat ening to shake the peace of Europe might be averted, or at least confined to the disaffected country." £2land Lie; second dais.

ONO ° Xid. °4 308.16 , 06$1 ENTRY OF VICTOR EMMANUEL INTO VENICE. (111011 01:111 SMELL conasarommaNy.) VENICE, Nov. 7. The weather has not been fine, but the spectacle has been magnificent. His Majesty's progress through Venice, from the railway station to St. Mark's, has been made with a fleet of boats and barges worthy the Queen of the Adriatic in her palmiest . - days. Though a November fog rendered the pave ment slippery, and curled in smoke•like wreaths over the Grand Canal, it could not choke the out bunt of joy which greeted Victor Emmanuel as he passed along. Nor was the fog thick enough to conceal the crowded walls and the tapestried win- down upon either side. How delighted the people were to know that " Vittorio " had come at last, and to have the chance of giving him a hearty cheer after so much delay. What inexhaustible good humour they evinced with respect to the weather, when nine o'clock, ten o'clock, eleven _ o'clock came, and not a gleam of sunshine. There was hurrying of bright-coloured barges to• wards the railway station as the time of his Majesty's arrival drew nigh, and a breathless wedging toge ther of sightseers upon every inch of foothold near the upper part of the canal. Then there was a murmur that he had come, and a deafening shout of "Viva el Re," caught up by thousands at a distance who guessed its meaning. The ships of war in the harbour thundered forth a royal salute, and the procession was formed. It was formed with many a skilful manoeuvre of the gondoliers to avoid collision between their fairy craft, with many glidings in and glidings out, and twists and turns, such as none but Venetians would attempt. In alittle while it was moving slowly forward, and amid the shouts and the clapping of hands and the waving of handkerchiefs approached the Rialto. Now for a rush through narrow passages, and a desperate jostle at the water-side by persona eager to obtain a second glimpse. The Rialto is passed amid in describable enthusiasm, and the shouts from right and left swell louder and louder until those bright coloured barges have vanished into the fog beyond the municipal palace. You must fancy us waiting at St. Mark's for the pro cession to emerge from the Grand Canal. There is an immense crowd in the Piazetta, and an open space kept clear between lines of soldiers from the land ing stage before the Ducal Palace to the Basilica, where aTe Deum will presently be chanted. There are Italian officers—naval and military—foreign diplomats, and messengers from the Cardinal Patriarch of Venice assembled on the landing stage. Outside, pushing and struggling behind the s oldiers, are people of every class—priests and citizens, fishermen of the Lagoon, Greeks in their national dress, and red-shirted Garibaldians. It is better to mount to the gallery of the Ducal Palace ' than to struggle uselessly below—for the soldiers, though very polite, will not budge a step. Once in the gallery, we can enjoy at our ease the motley scene. Alas that there is no sunshine to light it up ! But such boats as COlllO dart ing through the fog and shoot past like birds of Paradise, with many-coloured plum age of velvet awnings and silken streamers, are very bright, even as it is. Slowly the mist rises, and the ships of war become visible. They are gaily dressed with flags from stem to stern, as they were on the 19th of October. Then they had a large share of public attention, but to-day, having glanced at them to teat the thickness of the fog, we turn our eyes eagerly towards the Grand Canal. More boats are darting towards us, and these are really the forerunners of the procession. As they advance the mist descends again, so that the ships of war are hidden from► sight. But the boats will nut be hidden. They draw nearer. It is a perfect flower-garden of varied colours, and the cheers on shore grow doubly loud, for the people see the King's barge in the midst, with the royal standard waving over her. Well suited in style to the silken streamers and velvet awnings are the dresses of the oarsmen who propel this fantastic fleet. It is not his ordinary costume, yet the sinewy gondolier is quite at his ease in trunkhose—with one leg red and one white—in green jacket, pink belt, and red cap with blue feather. He has many more tasteful costumes, but I give this as an instance of a costume in which to be at his ease is most creditable. The royal barge drifts towards the shore, or rather is pressed almost aground by her brilliant cortege. Their unex pectedly good view of " Vittorio " delights the crowd, and from the ducal palace we see the waving handkerchiefs, and the King bowing in acknow ledgment of repeated cheers. His barge, brightest of the birds of paradise, at length shakes herself free, without injury to her plumage, and steadily nears towards the landing stage. The men-of-war thunder another salute through the fog, which completely conceals them. The band of the National Guard strikes up the Royal March, the soldiers of the National Guard present arms, and the bersaglieri, in token of salute, hold their rifles slantwise across their breasts. Quickly the barge is moored, the plank is laid, and Victor Emmanuel steps ashore. He advances un covered between the lines of silent soldiers and the crowds of shouting people. " Viva it Re" is our watchword, you old republican lion up there in the mist. Fold your wings and take life easy in future, for the deliverance of Venice is accomplished. "He is a tine man, Vittorio," cry the people round me. " He is a fine man, though not handsome, and he holds himself like a king indeed." IMPORTANT DECISION AGAINST A RAILWAY COM PANY. —The Tribunal of Commerce of the Seine has just given judgment on a question of immense importance to all railway travellers. Four gentlemen, named Couvreux, de Villiers, Lempereur, and Miedan, wishing to go to Chfitillon-sur-Seine on the sth May last, took tickets by the seven o'clock morning train, which should reach Nuits sur-Riviere at two, in time for the corresponding train to Chitillon, twelve minutes later. The engine, however, broke down on the way, and the travellers only reached Nuita at ten minutes past three, and then, finding that they would have to wait several hours before another train left for their destination, took a special one fur which they paid 201 f. 70c. They now sued the Lyons Railway Company to recover that sum, with 100 f. addi tional, which they claimed for the inconvenience to which they had been put. The defendants alleged in their de fence that the accident was Gee over which they had no control, and that they were consequently not responsible for the delay ; but the court decided that the stoppage had been caused by the breaking of a piston rod, which would , not have occurred had the company bad its engines pro perly examined, and condemned it to pay an indemnity of WOL with interest from the date of theoccurrence, and costs of the action.—Gahonani.

The Emperor has given tls. 2,000 towards the funeral expenses. The Times overland mail gives the following news from Japan : The Kestrel entered Simonosaki to procure ooals on the evening of August 10. The Otentosama was lying in the harbour, and some little distance from the town, the Fuseyama and three other steamers of the Shogoon, appa rently blockading the entrance of the straits at the Nagasaki end. Just before midnight the Otentosame was observed to get up steam and cross the straits, towing a Japanese built ship full of soldiers. She returned and towed over a second body of troops, and an attack was then made upon the town of Kokuro—successfully, for by 4 a.m. the whole place was on fire and the batteries there silenced, and Chiosiu's people returned to their own side with seven new Blakeley field pieces as the trophies of their victory. When the firing had ceased, the Kestrel once more started for Nagasaki. When she got a little below the burning town of Kokura and nearly approached the Sho goon's ships, It shell wise fired at her from the Kokura side. This fell short, and then six solid shot were fired at her in rapid succession from the battery, but happily without effect. Coming out of Simonosaki harbour, it is very likely that the Kokura gunners believed her to be one of Chioeiu's ships. We have not heard whether it is intended to take any notice of this insult to the British flag by the s l lo^aon, but the explanation we have given, of the shots having been fired at her under the impressi"n that she belonged to Chicsiu, being probably the true one, would doubtless be readily received. Sir Harry Parkes has issued notifications for bidding ships to carry Japanese troops, arms, or munitions through or into the Straits ; or, indeed, to stop there at all in making the passage, and a British ship of war will probably be stationed in the Inland Sea to see these regulations carried out. The Japan lieraht gives currency to a report of the death of the Tycoon, who has lately been very ill. The report wants confirmation. Speculation as to his successor points to Stotsbashi, the son of Prince Nuts. He is favourable to foreign inter course, but he has no territory and is unpopular with the Daimios. Several further sales of steamers to the Japanese have taken place at Nagasaki. The Prince of Higo has purchased the Fairy for 23,000 dols. ; the Japan has been sold to the Prince of Akee for 110,000 dols. ; and the government have bought the Mercury for 30,000 dols. The late gunboat Kestrel is also reported to have been sold to the government, which has chartered the steamer H logo for Osaka and Yeddo. The Dumbarton steamer is reported to have been sold to the Japanese for a sum between 165,000 dols. and 180,000 dols. The Japanese steamer Yangtze was at Nagasaki repairing injuries caused by a shell from one of Chiosiu's batteries. Drama. STRAND. A very bright little piece in two acts, full of real comedy, fun, and humorous dialogue, was produced at the Strand Theatre on Saturday night, under the brief title of Neighbours. The author is Mr. John Orenford, and we believe he has been indebted to one of Goldoni's comedies for his subject, much in the same degree as many of our more eminent dramatists have been indebted to Italian literature. The comedy abounds in " asides," which aro not the least diverting part of the dialogue, and its success was undoubted and well deserved. NEW SOUTH WALES. SYDNEY, Srrr. 24.

GENERAL SHERMAN'S MISsION TO MEXICO.— Toe Washington correspondent of the New York Ames, writing on October 3(1. says " General Sherman had another interview with the President to-day, after the session of the cabinet, at which he accepted the military diplomatic mission to Mexico, which I stated yesterday hail been tendered to him. He will, therefore, leave for i Ohio to-morrow, and, after arranzing some private affairs, he will leave for Mexico probably within ten days, accompanied by Colonel Campbell, minister of that re public. The administration is gratified at the prompt action of General Sherman, and the hope is confi dently entertained that the presence of an officer I of such rank and distinction will be a sufficient indication of the earnestness of this government in the measures it is taking to aid the restoration of the republic, and that it will render the actual presence of United States troops on Mexican soil unnecessary. General Sherman's precise mis sion is both military and diplomatic. He goes to sustain Minister Campbell in all the diplomatic relations which may be re-established, and empowered also with full discretion as to the use of military power in any emer gency requiring it. The very important nature of this work is thus apparent, and the President is anxious that it not only shall be in safe and able hands, but that our representatives shall reach the scene of action as soon as possible. The name of General Grant was at first sug gested as the proper person for this position of military envoy, but as he cannot well be spared from the pressing duties consequent upon the reorganisation of the army, General Sherman was selected, be having declined the tender of the War Department, which was made by the President. When the change does occur in the latter department it is altogether probable that General Grant will assume its duties."

Newman Hall, Dr. Hugh Allen, Dr. Spence and Mr. Murphy, attended before Lord John Man ners, the First Commissioner of her Majesty's Office of Works, on behalf of the Lord's Day Rest Society, to pro test against the continuance of Sunday bands in the parks during the summer season. Mr. GIRDLESTONE, one of the deputation, who, in the course of his speech, described himself as connected with the law, first addressed his lordship. He said those who worked six days needed a day of rest, and this day of rest they would not be able to maintain unless the Sunday was secured to them by religion. Sunday ham's, as allowed in the parks, were altogether opposed to the prin. ciples of true religion, and drove respectable people from their enjoyment of the parks. Preachers had been excluded from the parks,and why, be would sak,were Sunday bands permitted?—if one was illegal surely the other was. He called his lordship's attention to the fact that the bands were supported by the illegal sale of pro grammes, and he urged upon his lordship nut to permit an illegal act to be done under his immediate sanction. lie denied that the bands kept the people sober, for, he said, the public-houses, after the bands ceased playing, were found filled from floor to ceiling, and as a Sunday-school teacher, he could assure his lordship that the children were tempted from school to go and listen to the bands. lie concluded by urging his lordship not to sanction them. Mr. HILL, the secretary of the society, read a list of reasons which the society urged against the continuance of the bands. These were, in short, that the only way to preserve the Sunday as a day of rest for all men was to uphold the Divine command, " Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy ;" that all attempts to secularise the day was setting at naught the Divine command, as taught in 10,000 churches every Sunday ; that the bands injured Sabbath and ragged schools, and drew young per sons from their religious dirties; that from the bands hundreds flocked to the public-houses and tea-gardens in the parks; that they encouraged Sunday labour by the Belling of programmes and letting of chairs. Dr. HUGH ALLEN argued that it was no part of the go vernment to take any hand in providing amusement for the people, and he could not see why public money should he spent in support of these bands by erecting platforms for them. The Rev. NEWNAN Han held that the Sunday bands in the parks constituted the " thin end of the wedge " towards opening museums and public exhibitions on Sun day, to which the majority of the working classes were opposed. He further said that the country supported 20,000 churches, and public money was spent in counter acting the principles taught in those churches. Several other persons having spoken, Lord JOHN MANNEUS briefly replied. He said his deci sion should be impartial, and without reference to party. He had received a deputation from the other side a short titne since, and he had to consider the question in many lights—so he could not give an answer then. The question was surrounded with difficulties, for the present deputa tion asked him to change a system which had existed for years. As to the objection to preachers, he reminded the deputation that if preachers were allowed, infidel lecturers would also have to be admitted. With respect to any illegal sale of programmes, the society could take steps itself to prevent this. Mr. GIGDLESTONE thanked his lordship, and said the society might take the steps his lordship placed before them, and they might also move for an injunction again•t the band/ altogether ; but he did not think it was their duty. A STRANGE DONATION. —Amongst the MAU' ad vertisements of Thursday lust appeared the following : " Archbishop Manning acknowledges with his thanks the letter and enclosure of N. I. L., received safely on November sth." The transaction to which the above announcement dimly refers is a rather extraordinary one. On Monday, the sth, a day on which the Gunpowder Plot is called to mind by sundry grotesque exhibitions in the public streets, Archbishop Manning received the letter alluded to, the enclosure being a cheque on a leading bank for the sum of 500/. The sender gave no name, but signed himself " Guy Faux, a protestant," and marked his dona tion " for the use of Polo Pius IX." Archbishop Manning looked upon the letter in the light of a jest, and was about throwing letter and cheque on the fire, when his secretary suggested that they might be able to trace the author of the supposed hoax, inasmuch as the cheque was numbered and lettered by the bankers. Archbishop Manning agreed to this, and on the cheque being presented at the Lank, the manager said lie hau instnictiona to pay the amount, and that the gift was that of a protestant gentleman, who was anxious that his name should not be made known. The archbishop transmitted the money in due course to Rome, and thanked the donor by public advertisement. THE QUEEN's UNIVERSITY IN IRELAND. —Mr. J. A. Lawson, late Attorney-General, and Mr. E Sullivan, late Solicitor-General for Ireland, have given an opinion on queries submitted to them 17 the Queen's Lniversity Senate, whether the acceptance of the suplemental charter of 1806 by the Senate only was a valid p act ; and whether degrees granted under the authority of that charter have all the force intended by it. They have I jointly replied that the Senate of the Queen's University had power to accept the supplemental charter, and that their acceptance of it constitutes a valid act, such as no court of law or equity can legally set aside. They further think that degrees conferred under the autholity of the supplemental charter will have all the force contemplated by that document. THE Diocraz or ROCHESTER. —A conference of the clergy and laity of the diocese of Rochester—one of a series organised by the bishop—was held on Friday at Halstead. The following resolution was adopted :—"Hav ing regard to the spiritual wants of the population, this conference thinks it desirable that lay agencies sh uld be more extensively employed, especially with regard to the or ganisation of lay readers and co-operators, with a view to bring all lay agency n under the direct sanction of the bishop of the diocese." WEST GLOUCESTERSHIRE ELECTION.— DCRSLEY, SATERDAT.—The High Sheriff of Gloucestersliiie, Sir John Maxwell Steele - Graves Bart., having received the writ for the election of a knight of the shire for the western divisor "in the place of Mr. John Holt, who path accepted the office of her Majesty's Attorney-General," has to-day leaved his notice that he will hold a special county court here for that purpose on Thursday , next, the 15th instant. There is no prospect of any opposition. The number of new members returned to the House of Commons this year has now been increased to 34. A deputation waited by appointment on Satur day, the 10th ins t., on the Bight Hon. Sir Stafford North. cote, Bart., ILP., Prudent of the Board of Trade, and the Vies President, to invite the action of the government, in pennante of the recommendation of the committee d the House of Commons of the lad session, that amend ments should be introduced into the Metropolis Gas Act of 1860. The following gentlemen attended:—Mr. Torres 111Tollagb, M.P., Mr. Donald, Mr. Kneenstub, Mr. Staunton, Mr. Merriman, Mr. Canyn Ching, Mr. Brad shaw, Mr. James Beal, Mr. Dyer, Mr. Dresser Rogers, Mr. Sam. Hughes, Mr. Hoyden, Mr. B. IL Wyatt, parliamentary agent. The committee to whom it was referred in the lest session to consider the City Gas Bill, and also to inquire into the operations and results of the Metropolis Gas Act, 1860, reported that they found the illuminating power greater and the quality of the gas better in Manchester, lddis burgh, Birmingham, Plymouth, and other towns, than in London ; that the purification is imperfect in London ; that the effect of the act was to raise the market value of the Mares, and to increase the dividends of the companies, so that all now pay 10 per cent., and many have in addi tion paid large sums in the form of back dividends, end have laid by reserve funds. The committee also reported in favour of a higher illuminating power and a reduction in price; that a chemical board should be appointed, at the cost of the gas companies, to regulate the analysis of purity and illuminating power, with adequate powers ; that the testing place should be provided at the cost of the com pany ; that proper Meting officers should be appointed for each district, testing continuously, and registering every test ; that a chief analyst should be appointed to direct the operations of the testing officers ; that the limitation of the power of making up former deficient divi dends should be reduced from six years to three years. They reported in favour of the districting system sanc tioned by the sot of 1860, and in favour of the consolida tion olcompanies, or of the disposal of their interests to the bodies representing the ratepayers. They recommended a more summary mode of recovering penalities against gas companies, and that the act should be amended to carry out the report. Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE promised to consider the question, to obtain further information, and to give an early answer, as the urgency of the question had been so strongly pressed. The deputation thanked the right hon. gentleman for the great attention he had given to the question, and hoped they might anticipate a favourable reply. THE ARCHBISHOP OF DUBLIN. The Dublin Erening Mud of Saturday says : "The following printed address has been, we are in formed, in general circulation in the parish of St. Mark during the present week :—' Fellow Protestants,—The Tractarian archbishop preaches in St. Mark's Church on Sunday next, the 11th of November, Dleiti. Show your approval of our beautiful Liturgy by attending and join ing in the prayers and responses, and your disapproval of counterfeit Romanism by quietly withdrawing before his grace's sern.on.' As a general rule, all demonstrations in a place of public worship, other than those to which it has been consecrated, are, in the highest degree, I objectionable ; and we have heard of nothing to call for any special indication of feeling in St. Mark's. While we therefore deprecate the meditated demonstration we must also express, in distinct terms, our disapprobation of the threats held out to the protestant inhabitants of that parish. A morning contemporary speaking with, at least, an air of authority, says--' The penalties for disturb ing a congregation during Divine worship :ire eery severe, and we have reason to believe that in case of di-order they will be enforced.' Than such a menace wdhing could be more calculated to provoke the demonstration. We cer tainly cannot imagine any one in the archbishop's position so weak and so irritable as to introduce a police force, and compel every person in the church to sit out his bernion, under pain of s broken head fend • visit to the station-house. The archbishop never contem plated any such imitation of the Roman Em peror, at his leisure making music in the theatre, with doors locked, and a reluctant audience endeavouring to make their es.ape through the windows. But what a lesson does the mere attitude of parties convey ? Circulars on the one hand—menaces ou the other. A congregation prepared to rise and walk out before the archbishop's sermon, and the archbishop's friends commanding them to sit still under a threat of penalties and police batons—and this in a diocese which only two years since he found in the moat complete harmony and quietude ! We trust the lesson will nut be lost upon his grace. We arc sure it will not be lost upon the Christian world." Our Dublin corre spondent telegraphs that imim diately before his grace's sermon at the church referred to 300 young men rose and left the church. There was no interruption during the sermon. Two persons were arrested for hissing outside the building. CHOLERA AND DIARRHEA RETURNS. DRATHEI REGISTERED ON ?SWAT, NOV. 9, AND REPORTED TO THE REGISTRAR-GRNIMAL.

THE LATE FIRE AT THE STANDARD THEATRE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE EXPRESS. Sill,—The committee formed for the above fund beg to tender their grateful thanks to a generous public who have so liberally responded to the appeal made on behalf of the sufferers by the late calamitous fire, and at the same time to state that the amount subscribed has been sufficient to pay all engaged a fortnight's salary and incidental expenses ; and Mr. Douglas having taken the City of London Theatre, they are again employed ; yet there still remains one object—namely, a sum sufficient to reimburse them for the loss sustained in properties, dresses, sc. The committee feel confident they need not appeal in vain to the sympathies of the public in further ance of this lendable purpose. On behalf of the com mittee, I am, Lc., CHARLES STEVENS, Treasurer. 17, King/stand-crescent. NARROW ESCAPE OF A MAIL. TRAIN. —On Friday night the London and North-Western mail train from Manchester to London met with a vei y perilous encounter at Heaton Norris. The train left Manchester as usual shortly before eleven at night. When it readied Heston Norris, six miles distant, it was going at great speed. A heavy goods train was there crossing the up-line to get up a the Yorkshire hue of the same company. and had nearly passed, but the mail train shot through it at full speed, dashing the tail-end carriages into myriads of frag ments. Singular as it may appear, the only portion of the mail train that sustained (Linkage was the engine. The fore part of the engine was much shattered, but none of the passengers or carriages were injured. It is supposed that the great weight of the engine enabled it to bear the shock and protect the rest of the train from injury. The trainbad to be detained for another engine. The York shire train went forward, minus the carriages smashed. AeCLDENT AT THE GREAT WESTEKN RAILWAY STATION AT MEltTllllt. — On Saturday morning an accident of an alarming and somewhat serious character occurred at the station at Merthyr Tydvil, into which tbe trains from Quakers' -yard are run by the Ureat Western Railway Company. It would Peen' that it is the custom in working the line at this point to run the trains into the station by the momentum the, have acquired up to a certain spot, at which the engine-drivers are directed to "shut off steam." Tee progressive force acquired by the first train on Saturday being, owing to some cause or another, greater than usual, the train ran past the station, and before it could be pulled up by the breaks it ran i violently into a warehouse, one wall of which it carried away. The shock was an exceedingly violent one, and many of the passengers were bruised and otherwise in jured. A Mrs. Roberta, of Blackwood, received a very extensive wound across her forehead, which laid bare the ' skulL Mr. Beddoe, of Llancarch, received injuries of the face, as also did Mr. Baylis, of Pentnewydd. Mr. Evan Davies, relieving officer of Hengoed, was also removed in a state of great weakness and suffering, and it was feared that be had unstained some serious internal injuries. Other persons were bruised and shaken, and the accident, as may be supposed , caused no small amount of alarm and PR= 0.0.1•Mosia••• THE WESTERN FISHERIES.—During the past week about 20,000 bads. of pilchards and 12,000 hbda. of mackerel were caniht on the coasts of Devon and Corn wall.
