SUPPOSED RE -APPEARANCE OF THE CATTLE PLAGUE IN NORPOL/L—On Saturday a numeroln at tended, although hurriedly convened meeting was h el d at the Shire-hall, Norwich , Mr. T. Iteevor presiding, in con sequence of the local inspector having reported what, it is feared, will prove a fresh outbreak of the rinderpest in that part of the county. The local inspector's report was read as follows :—'• I was sent for to Colonel Custance's farm at Weston on Saturday, October 21. I wens to a meadow, where there were 12 bullocks and one bull. I low a bullock which appeared to have symptoms of cattle plague ; there was a discharge from the nose and eyes, and it was purging and off its fe e d. I b a d it i so l ate d , and saw it again next day, when the symptoms showed themselves worse. I saw it again on Friday, and it was decidedly worse. The steward also showed me another of the same lot; it was discharging from the nose, and purging, and it staggered a great deal. I sent for my brother and Mr. Wells. The second beast died yesterday or last night. The first beast attacked was shot by me this (Saturday) scorning ; but it was then dying. I helped to make a post ',torten examination of the beast which died, and the symptoms developed were in my opinion those of the cattle plague. I have consulted my brother, who is of the same opinion." It appeared from a state ment drawn up by Mr. Smith, veterinary surgeon, of Nor wich, that Mr. Hayes, an Irish dealer, brought from Wex ford, in Ireland, 120 oxen rid Liverpool and Peterborough, to Norwich ; they did not leave the trucks until they arrived at Norwich. On the 11th of October they were landed at Liverpool ; on the 12th they were in Norwich market ; and 90 were sold to parties in Norfolk, some to Colonel Custom*, among others. The beasts attacked last week, as already stated, formed part of the lot pur chased by Colonel Custance. The 29 beasts which were brought by Mr. Hayes to Norwich, and not sold, were removed by him to St. Ives. Of the 120 beasts brought from Ireland 119 were thus accounted for, and Mr. Hayes states that the odd beset was left behind by mistake at Edge-bill, Liverpool, and that it was afterwards sent by train to St. Ives by his order. The 120 beasts were in at Wexford, and again at Liverpool on the I l l e ttl October, and were then reported healthy. On the motion of Mr. E. Howes, M.P., the meeting re ,ltl.,ted the chairman to salt the Privy Council to send an Victor down to further investigate the matt e r. The lity in question will also be declared provisionally an infected place under the Contagious DiaesaesdnimalsAnt. 1867. THE LATE ATTEMPTED MCRDER OF A POLICE- Irv,--The injured police - constable , John Saunders, has altered somewhat during the last day or two. He is still sot quite right in his mind. The police have hitherto been on the wrong scent, as it is now perfectly understood that the man who committed the o w resides in the neigh bourhood of Whitecluipel t TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (RXIITIVB TELEGRAMS.) THE ROMAN QUESTION. ROME, Ocr. 26. - , - The Pope has addressed an encyclical letter to the catholic bishops throughout the world upon the present state of the patrimony of the church, which he states is assailed by revolutionists. His Holiness also refers to the sad position of the church in Poland, and asks the bishops to order public prayers to be offered up in their dioceses for the church and the Holy See. Yesterday the Roman police, while searching a house, met with some considerable resistance. They thereupon attacked the house with their bayonets, and killed 15 Garibaldians, making 36 others prisoners. Two of the latter only were Romans, and they belonged to the lowest class. The police took possession of a large quantity of arms and bombs. The city is tranquil. PARIS, OCT. 27. The hfonitcor of this morning says :—" The departure of the fleet and troops for Civita Vecchia had been suspended until yesterday evening at the request of King Victor Emmanuel, but no cabinet has yet been formed at Florence, and revolutionary bands continue to invade the Pontifical States, and even place Rome itself in a position of peril. The French government could therefore no longer ad journ the occupation which it had decided upon, and the Emperor Napoleon has communicated his resolution to Florence. There is nothing in this measure of an aggressive character towards Italy, France and Italy being equally interested in the triumph of order and legality. Revolutionary in • vaaions against Rome are only a violation of public law and treaties, and the Italian nation and their sovereign could not experience relative to those events other sentiments than those felt by us, and we still preserve the hope that the friendly rela tions which unite tho two peoples will not be disturbed." FIGHTING AT VITERBO. ROME, Oct 2!, EVENING. According to intelligence received here, about 1,000 Garibaldians, commanded by Ghirelli and Antonio, attacked Viterbo yesterday, setting fire to one of the gates of the town. The Pontifical troops gallantly repulsed the attack, killing a great many of the assailants, amongst others the com mander of the band. They afterwards picked up a great many arms and waggons and a quantity of ammunition abandoned by the Garibaldians in their retreat. The population of the town manifested no ex citement in favour of the Garibaldians during this attack. Rome is perfectly quiet. A great number of armed Roman citizens, including members of the aristocracy, patrol the streets at night. ITALY. FLORENCE, Orr. 21. i. Intelligence from Terni announces that an en gagement took place near Monte Rotondo yester day. Garibaldi, who was in command of four battalions of volunteers, defeated the Pontifical troops, taking about 100 prisoners, and capturing 3 guns. There were many killed and wounded on both sides. Mosto and Solomone were among the wounded. The intelligence from Rome that the Garibal diens under Acerbi were defeated yesterday before Viterbo is confirmed. It is rumoured that Acerbi was killed. The Corriere Milian ° says that the engagement at Monte Rotondo was of a very desperate cha racter. The Pontifical troops had one battery of guns. They were, however, put to flight and pur sued by Garibaldi. FLORENCE, Ocr. 27. EVENING. Signor Rattazzi has definitively declined to con tinue negotiations for the formation of a ministry, and General Menabrea succeeded this afternoon in con stituting a cabinet, which includes Signori Gnalterio, Cumbray, Diguy, Cugia, Ribotti, and Cantelli, and Senator Cadorna. The portfolio of finance has been offered to Signor Sella. Letters from Rome of the 25th inst. state that the city is under strict military government. The bands which had advanced on the previous day close to the city had fallen back. There was a great body of insurgents at a distance of 15 miles from Rome, and there was no traffic to or from the city. TURIN, Ocr. 26. A great demonstration took place here last night in favour of Rome as the capital of Italy. An address on the subject was presented to the prefect, to be remitted by him to the King. THE EXHIBITION BANQUET. PARIS, OCT. 26, RVICUNG. The banquet given to the Imperial Commission of the Paris Exhibition by the foreign commis sioners came off this evening. Earl Granville, who presided, proposed a toast to the Emperor Napoleon and the Imperial family. M. Rouher thanked Earl Granville for the toast, and drank to the Sovereigns and heads of the foreign governments. He drew a comparison between the industries of the different countries, and continued as follows : " The superior mission of those who govern is the maintenance of peace among all nations. (Loud applause.) These words seem to receive from cur rent events a contradiction and a denial. Some are under the apprehension that a neighbouring nation will assume the heavy responsibility of a war with France. This disquietude is, I believe, without foundation. The sole aim of the recent Imperial resolutions was to stop the disorderly, 1 dangerous, and revolutionary march of individuals without authority, who dare to violate the faith pledged by the regular governments of their coun try. (Prolonged applause.) The Italian nation and its Sovereign are aware that blind anarchists menace Florence as much as Rome, and the exist ence of monarchial Italy as well as that of the Pontifical States. I have confidence in the wisdom of that people, to whom we have afforded so many proofs of sympathy." MALTA. VALETTA, Om 26. The Arethusa, Endymion, Aniza, and Tyrian, from Spezia, have arrived here. Admiral Lord Paget has left in the Caledonia for Naples. The Serapis troop-ship, from Ports mouth nine days, passed Malta yesterday for Alexandria, and also tr►nsport No. 14, from Alexandria, steering N.W. From the 19th to the 23rd October there have been nine attacks and death. from cholera. On the 24th there were neither attacks nor deaths, consequently the bulletins were suspended, prepa- ' ratory to the issue shortly of clean bills of health. Since the commencement of the outbreak the total number of attacks and deaths is 431 and 238 respectively, inclusive of the military population. THE PARIS BOURSE. PARIS, Oct 27, NOON.

NEW YORK, Ocr. 17. Chief Justice Chase has rendered a decision at Baltimore releasing a coloured indentured appren tice, under the provisions of the Civil Rights Bill, which the Chief Justice decides is constitutional. He also declares that negroes equally with white men are citizens of the United States. It is reported that a majority of the impeachment committee favour the impeachment of President Johnson. A large and enthusiastic republican meeting was held in New York last night. Prominent speakers advocated the nomination of General Grant as the republican candidate for the presidency. The judicial elections in California were held yesterday. The democrats carried San Francisco. Complete returns of the late elections show the State of Pennsylvania to have given about 780 majority for Judge Sharawood as judge of the Supreme Court. General Hayes, the republican gubernatorial candidate in Ohio, has about 2,000 majority, but the democrats have a decided majority in the State Legislature. The election for judge of the Supreme Court occurred yesterday in California. The democrat& carried San Francisco by about 1,000 majority. (At the last judicial election, in 1865, the city went republican.) The returns from the interior of the State are still too incomplete to indicate the general result. The political canvass in New York, when a par tial State ticket is to be voted for, and in Massa chusetts, Minesota, Wisconsin, and New Jersey is being vigorously prosecuted by both parties. These elections are to held during the first week of November, and are subjects of great interest, as both parties are expected to put forth their full strength. The registration of voters in this city and Brooklyn, however, has rather indicated apa thy in those particular localities. Since the decided popular verdict in Ohio against negro suffrage, the chances of Chief Justice Chase for the presidency seem to have become suddenly conceded to be hopeless. Mr. Chase had planted himself finally upon the negro suffrage platform, and even prominent radical leaders now admit that certain defeat could only follow his nomination. Both parties seem to be turning again to General Grant as their choice, and at both democratic and republican meetings his name is brought forward for the presidency. Several republican committees have recom mended his nomination, as also have the executive committee of the National Union Club of Phila delphia, a democratic organization. Courted by both parties, the general maintains his " reticence" despite the efforts made continually to inveigle him into a decided party position. Democratic journals declare that Grant has ex pressed himself entirely satisfied with the results of the late elections, while republican journals, denying this, assert that the general is more than ever in full sympathy with the republican party. The recent reorganization of the Maryland militia has furnished a " scare " to some timid radicals, who assert that the militia are disloyal, and that the President intends to use them in dis persing Congress. These fears seem to be based upon the claims of a few democratic extremists, who have urged Mr. Johnson to adopt this course. There are no indications that any such amp data is intended. THE IRISH RAILWAY COMIKISAION.—These 00111. misnomers met on the 22nd and 26th inst., at 2, Victoria street, Westminster. Present—Sir Alexander Y. Spear. man, Bart., Mr. John Mulholland, Mr. John Fowler, Mr. C. N. Seymour Clarke, and Mr. Christopher Johnetone(on the Viid only). The secretary, W. Neilson Hancock, LL.D., was also present. VIOLENT STORll.—Yesterday morning, shortly after five o'clock, a storm, which towards midday increased in fury, broke over the metropolis and suburbs. About 12 o'clock rain began to fall, and for upwards of two hours there was a perfect downpour. In the Clapham-road, a brougham containing a I ady and gentleman, coming from the direction of Stockwell,' was blown over by the violence of the wind. After a deal of difficulty the occupants were' extricated, but were fortunately not injured beyond a shak- 1 ing and some sevens bruises. The coac hman was somewhat more seriously injured, and ;the carriage much damaged. Near Herleyford-terrace an elderly lady, residing in the Oval, was thrown with considerable violence on to the pavement. Several other casualties in the way of falling chimneys, &c.. are reported. Snow is said to have fallen during Saturday night in several places north of London.' The trains on many of the lines were considerably delayed by the wind. The railway guards reported last night that the culvert. and rivers near Chatham and Rochester were overflowed, and that the land at Hatchet, near Windsor, and Ream, was some feet under water, and wee rendered impassable to pedestrians. THE RITUAL DISTURBANCES AT STOKE NEWlNG TON.—Yesterday evening there was a renewal )of the riot ing, in connexion with the ritualistic practices at the church of St. Mathias, Stoke Newington, but they were not of so fierce or noisy a character as those which have token place in the COWIe of the last few Sunday evenings. The church was densely crowded, but there was no at tempt to interrupt the service.. The Rev. C. J. Le Ceyt, M.A., the incumbent, 'reached, wearing a bright red stole over his surplice. At the close of the services the mob as usual made its way to Stoke Newington-green, and sur rounded the house of Mr. Brett, the churchwarden, where they howled and booted, but carefully avoided throwing stones, although the roads had been newly macadamised. The police, of whom there was a strong force, kept the people moving about, and as the night was end, the ma jority of the roughs went away without even waiting for Mr. Brett's return home. _ _ _ ENTSZNCHING Tll ClTY.—Waterloo-road ii blocked up by sewer work, Blackfriars-road is likewise investable from the same cause, road repairs are going on at Stone's-end, Borough, and now that the Central • Board of Works has* determined on pulling up Westminster bridge.roA, it will be an interesting puzzle how to get to the City at idl..,Sonnft Lemke Press. FRANCE. (awn OUR Owl PARIS, SATURDAY BYRNING. The immediate effect upon the Bourse of the curt announcement in the Munitert, that the Emperor has ordered a second expedition to Rome, was a fall of nearly a franc in Rents and Italian stock. Subsequently there was a reaction, not founded upon any political news, but on the desire to catch at small profits after the instances that have been seen of extraordinary efforts to rupport the market by means of discounts. The closing quotations of the Rente 67.80 and 67.70, showed a fall of only3oc. for ' cash and 35c. for accounts. Italian ultimately fell I 40c., closing at 44.70. There was little variation in other securities. The Presse, which ever since the Roman crisis has taken a lead as an organ of French interven tion, reports as follows : On Friday last [yesterday must be meant], at nine in the evening, General Cialdini sent for M. de la Villestreux, the French Charge d'Affaires, and informed him that he was no longer minister. He had thought, he said, that he could have mastered the situation, but finding himself mistaken hr bad begged the King to release him from his undertaking. Garibaldi's return to the continent had singularly aggravated pre-existing difficulties. The Italian government now found itself utterly incapable to struggle against the national movement. It had no choice but to follow the revolution, even if it should lead it to Rome. In answer to M. de la Villestrenx's observation that the first step of an Italian soldier on Roman territory would necessarily produce • declaration of war on the part of France, General Cialdini replied that the Italian government foresaw this cons.- qnence, and was prepared to suffer it. War with France seemed to it, after all, the least of two evils. To fight against Mauini and Garibaldi was now impossible. In such a struggle Victor Emmanuel would risk his popu larity, his crown, and his life, without • chance of success. France, added Cialdini, is a generous enemy ; she will make war in accordance with recognised rules of civilisation, and will not stake an abusive use of victory. We may be conquered by France without shame, and almost without peril ; and the revolutionary party will have nothing to say against Victor Emmanuel if he suc cumbs in an unequal struggle. In conclusion, General Cialdini repeated to M. de la Villestreux the declaration he was charged to make to him, namely, that the Henan government was utterly powerless to execute the conven tion of September, and that it could only inform the cabi net of the Tuileries of this state of things. I cannot doubt that the Presse has received this transcendentally important conversation from official sources. It were impossible to exaggerate the unpopu larity of the announced invasion of the Roman States in Paris. On the Bourse, in the streets, in caie.s, people throw up their hands, and, fearless of spies, proclaim loudly thatthe Emperor is precipi tating the ruin of France. I wish I could say that before ruining France he will not ruin Italy. I met an Italian liberal deputy to-day, who, in answer to my question what he thought of the situation, said, with a sigh, "It is all up with Italy." I cannot help hoping better things • but then I must say my hope is in Bismarck. I am told that the Pope has telegraphed to the Emperor that if within twenty-four hours Cialdini does not form a ministry, he will fly from Rome. The Figaro was in every hand this afternoon as the Bourse poured forth its frequenters after the close of business. The following paragraph was re peatedly read aloud in the open streets to listening groups : WAR! The latest news is that the impression of the French go vernment in regard to Italy is bad ; the cabinet of the Tuileries thinks it has been foci (humbugged) by the cabinet of Florence, which merely thought to gain time by the pretended Cialdini combination. The rumour runs that the army of Lyons is ordered to be in readiness to cross the Alps : if a single soldier of the regular Italian army enters the Pontifical territory, • French army will immediately invade Italy. Now is the time for M. de Bismarck to make his game. A Florence letter dated October 22 says : Yesterd►y General Cialdini had a oonyersation with General Garibaldi. Garibaldi maid to bim, "My belief is that the bullet which kills me will be useful to Italy. I cannot abandon the duty I owe to my country. I will go to Rome or die." Alas, says the Opinion Nationale, when we reflect that trade, industry, and speculation are suspended in France because Garibaldi is in the Roman States, and a French army has been sent to put him down, foreigners may think what they like, but France cannot but lament. facto PROROGATION OF THE NORTH GERMAN SPEECH OF KING WILLIAM. BERLIN, Ocr. 26, Evimmu. The sittings of the North German Parliament were closed to-day by King William in person. His Majesty delivered the following speech from the throne : Illustrious, Noble, and Honoured Gentlemen of the Par liament of the North German Confederation,—The hopes with which I bade you welcome at the commencement of your labours have, to the fullest extent, been fulfilled. The same patriotic earnestness with which, with clear re cognition of our common aims, the Federal constitution was founded, has guided yOur deliberations, not only during the first steps, but also in the completion of that work. . In a short but eventful session you have in the most varied domain of legislation established institutions which not only possess great importance in themselves, but dis tinctly indicate the leading features of the institutions Iwhich will have to be created in the future. For the trying exertions which have been required of you in ! attaining these results, I thank you both in my name I and in the name of my illustrious allies. The laws which !you have had under deliberation respecting the Federal !budget, the liability to military service, freedom of settlement, the postal system, the postal tariff, the passport system, the salt tax, the nationality of merchant vessels, the Improvement of the navy and of the coast defences, the legal rate of interest, and the Federal con sulates, have met with the approval of the Federal Coun cil in the form in which they were moulded by your reso lutions. In the fact that all these important laws, even though some of their provisions may have occasioned an animated conflict of opinion, have never theless always commanded a large majority of your votes, I perceive with lively satisfaction a proof of the reciprocal understanding with which the representatives, hand in band with the Federargovernments, endeavour to attain their common aims. The treaty you have adopted relative to the continuation of the Zollverein is, as far ss the Southern States are concerned, not yet assured. The Federal governments, as well as yourselves, would be sorry if an institution, the beneficial working of which has redounded to the advantage of the States which partici pated in it, should no longer continue to extend to all the countries which have hitherto reaped its benefits. They are, however, together with your selves, conscious that the indi.per.rable reform of the constitution of the Zollverein must not be sacrificed to temporary difficulties, and that in accordance with the Zollverein treaties the community of economical interests presupposes before all as a national obligation their united protection. The treaty of navigation with Italy to which you have given your sanction will aid in strengthening our relations with a country with which we are connected by great common interests. Therefore return, honoured gentlemen, to your homes with the consciousness of having energetically furthered the national work. I hope before long to see you again assembled here, and then, indeed, in company with deputies from South Germany to the Customs parliament. THE PARIS EXHIBITION. peon oria arscw, ociaasseesmorr.) The Exhibition is to be closed, and not to be closed. On the 31st inst. the Emperor shuts it, and Mr. Commissioner Leplay opens it again. The func tions of the army of offi cials close with the month, and this is the meaning of thegovernment note. This punctuality in the cessation of the Exhibition's official life has been brought about by the urgent remonstrances of the foreign commissioners, who are tired of the Champ de Mars, and pine for fresh fields and pastures new. The determination to open the building to the people for a fortnight, and during part of that time to print " gratis" over Ithe turnstile., is a popular one. All parties have been satisfied, and, I apprehend for the first time since the Ist of April. Our English Excursion Society has not been slow in taking advantage of the announcement that there will be a workman's fortnight. The period of their oppeesrations has been extended, and the London, and Dover Company have maintained their low fares for artisan excursions. The visitors after the 31st inst. will however not see a complete exhibition. Exhibitors have been formally invited to begin the work of removal and demolition on the Ist of November, and the International Club is on the eve of transformation into an auction mart. The numbers of the visitors have improved of late with the return of pleasure-hunters from watering-places, gambling-places, and chateaux. Last Sunday, 31,246 visitors were registered, and only 125 at poor Billancourt. In the omnibus restaurant, 9,235 repasts were served. I should not be surprised to learn, after the close, that MM. Pouthier, the proprietors of this popular establish ment, have been the most fortunate of the caterers for the stomachs of all nations. The Sunday visitors included 3,400 workmen from the gigantic esta blishment of M. Godillot. Among the frequent visitors have been the Emperor and the Empress. You will have heard of the meeting of the Austrian Emperor and the Empress Eugenie in the Austrian department. The visits of the Emperor Napoleon are said to be so many made orportunities for con templating the advantages and disadvantages of the building as a permanent structure ; but I sus pect Napoleon has quite made up his mind, and that he has no more idea of preserving the Champ de Mars building than he has of pulling down his uncle's tomb behind the Invalides. The idea of retaining the building and making the park a permanent promenade is unpopular every where, save among the restaurateurs of the Avenues de Labourdonnaye and Suffren. The Parisians enjoy splendid gardens in every part of Paris. No city in the world is so handsomely provided with greenery, nor grati fied with flower-beds. Moreover, the Field of Mars is wanted by Mars. The good citizens of Paris have been wont to be regaled with the glit tering spectacle of forty thousand troops under arms on this noble field. The Military School claims its open place—where deeds of glory may be rehearsed. The arts of peace may trudge back to the Conservatoire and to the Faubourg St. Antoine. The fruiterers (who received their medals last week) must root up their apple trees, and retire beyond the fortifications—and leave the Guides to play—not amid parterres and grassy slopes, but upon the hard level ground and at the head of the regiment. M. Eugene Hatin—the historian of French journalism— in the course of an article on the newspapers in the Exhibition, proposes that a col lection of the newspapers of all nations and all times should be made ; and he infers, in a subse quent paragraph, that he has already given con siderable labour to the realisation of the idea. He notes some curious results of his research. After much inquiry and calculation he has reached the opinion that in the whole world there are actually 12,500 newspapers in existence. Of these 7,000 are published in Europe, 5,000 in America, and 500 in Asia, Australia, &c. Proceeding with his speculation, he says, supposing that each journal appears every fanr days—three thousand news papers are issued daily ; and estimating the sale of each at 2,000 copies, something like twelve million sheets of informing paper are sprinkled daily among the sons of Adam. CHANDLER OF .AGRICULTURE. —A meeting was held at Chelmsford on Friday to promote the establish ment of a Chamber of Agriculture for Essex. Mr. J. W. Perry W►tlington, presided, and stated that the chamber, while excluding party politics, would deed with all ques nos' in which the agricultural community were interested. A provisional committee was appointed to draw up rules and regulatioas, to be submitted to a future meeting, at which members will be enrolled ; the annual subscription to be be. Mr. Bronwhite stated that there were at pre sent between 60 and 70 chambers in connexion with the Central Clamber. The local chambers were entitled to send one representative each the Central Chamber upon payment of a subscription of 31. :is. per annum, and every additional 2/. 2s. paid entitled the chamber paying it to another representative. THE ROYAL BANE OF LIVIRPOOL.—OR Satur day Mr. Field, of the firm of Field and Co., solicitors, ap plied to Mr. Buckley, chief clerk of Vice-Chancellor Maline, at Chancery Chambers, Lincoln's-inn, for the ap pointment of Mr. Harmood Banner, accountant, of Liver pool, as provisional liquidator of the Royal Beek. He said he applied on behalf of three of the creditors of the bank, who, in their petition, expressed their belief that Mr. Banner was in every respect well qualified to act as provisional liquidator. They were anxious to pplace the bank under the protection of the Court of — first, with the view of effecting, if possible, a voluntary liquidation, end, failing in that, then of arranging for the shortest and cheapest method of liquidating. The object of the application, which was simply made is pursuance of a resolution passed at an influential meeting of the shareholders held at Liverpool on Wednesday lent, was to protect the assets, and to give time for the bank to be resuscitated ; and be was happy to say that its recuscita tion was highly probable in the judgment of the merchants of Liverpool. After some discussion Mr. Banner was appointed provisional liquidator, without security. SINGULAR ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT EARTERN RAILWAT.—An accident of a singular nature occurred en the Great Eastern Railw►y on Meturday afternoon last. Between Cambridge and Hy, in the immediate vicinity of Waterbeach, there is about six miles of as straight and level running as can be found in the whole system. In the course of it there are several farm crossings, and amongst ' these one to accommodate Mr. John Medlow, of Denny Abbey Farm. On Hatturday aftstuoca • labourer in Mr. Medlow's employ, named Gimp Cranfield, aged about 21 years led four horns through one of the farm gates on to theline,year, with the view al proceeding to the land on the opposite side ; and horse! and man were on the line when the 4.Z3 passenger train from Ely, due in Cam bridge at 4.50, came up at great speed. The man sad horses were all knocked over, and three of the latter lite rally cut to pieces. Cranfield was taken up insensible, and conveyed in a ily to Addenbrooke's Hospital, at Cam bridge, but on arrival was able to walk through the anti once court, and it was ultimately found that all the injuries be had received were a broken lower rib and severe shock from fright. He im unable to state whence the blow came that broke his rib, or explain how he could venture upon the line when the train must have been visible. The only conclusion to be come to is, that he miscalculated or was no judge of its distance and speed. The train had a full complement of passenger., but these all fortunately escaped without injury, and after a short ra temit i t 4g he e. train proceeded on its way, and arrived safely A GUARD SHOT ON THE HARTLEPOOL RAILWAY. —On Thursday afternoon, a guard named Thomas T'homp eon, residing in Everard-street, Hartlepool, who was con nected with a coal train, was shot on the Hartlepool branch of the North Eastern Itiiilway, at • place called Crundon Cat, about midway between Hartlepool and Castle Eden. It appears the train of Ingres of which Thompson was in charge had to be shunted into a siding at Crinidon, in order to allow another train to pass. As there was • little time to spare, Thompson had got out of hi. van and had ascended the embankment or " battery," as it is called, for the purpose of getting a few brambles. Whilst in this ele vated position he was suddenly struck by the contents of a gun, which had evidently been tired from the opposite side of the railway. He was much alarmed, sod called out lustily when he felt the effect of the shot-corns, which brought forward the author of the accident. It then transpired that Mr. Miller, of Crimdon House Farm, had been shooting rabbits in a field facing the embankment, and having approached nearer to the railway than be was aware of, the contents of his gun had accidentally reached Thompson. The injuries he received were not of • very serious nature, although some shot-corns that entered the back of his head caused • deal of pain shortly after the accident. Dr. Moore extracted several of them, and , Thompson is progressing favourably. HOLBORN THEATRE. A new broad burlesque—almost a burlesque of a burlesque—from the practised and suoemsful pen of Mr. F. C. Barnand, and founded upon the open of Aforiteno, was produced at this house on Saturday night as an after piece ; Mr. T. Robertson's drama, For Lore, slightly altered, still retaining its first place a the bills. The sew 4 burlesque is called Mary Terrier, or the Witious WJliw and Wietorious Winter, and is full of the old material, and much amusing and good-humoured ridicule of Mr. Bancroft in Caste, the celebrated " Adelphi guests," who, by the way, are not peculiar to the Adelphi, and other subjects familiar to the play-going public. The writing is not painfully loaded with puns, and as much fun • as possible is got out of an unruly cuckoo clock and other " properties." The burlesque is liberally . put upon the stage, and serves He purpose by affording an hour's amusement to those who are not tired • of this form of entertainment. The actors and actresses are well selected and well fitted with parte, Mr. H. J. , Montague showing considerable mimetic talent end humour in his imitation of Mr. Bancroft. Mies Charlotte Saunders li represents a mysterious prime minister—an old and well worn type of burlesque character—with real foroe—allow- anos being made for her thin shrill voice ; and Miss Jenny , Wilimore is as lively as a kitten as Den Cesar. ILiaw Fanny Josephs makes a pleasing Idaritans, and the fan is aided and abetted by Mr. Garden and Mr. J. Robins in characters that admit of any amount of dancing, singing, ! and pantomimic action, and get it. The music is lively—the ; fossil negro song of " Jim along Joaey" having been dug up and utilised, and the band accompanimente an better than the singing. The house was full, and the sew venture • was well received. Sabin atm /Military. PORTSMOUTH, Ocr. 27.

We can communicate at once by wire between London and Suez, but from Suez to Masao wah, or whatever may be our landing place, the distance must be traversed in the old way. So with Aden, which is, more or less, in oommunication with India, we have no way of making our wishes known save by steamer and, ih the event of rapid communication being needed between Sir Robert Napier and either London or Bombay, days Of inestimable value may be lost for the want of submarine cable, which would, of course, be of use lung after odr disputes with King Theodore shall have been forgotten.-, • ma!, and Noe!, Gazette.
