HIGH WATER AT LONDON-lIIUDOL TRU - Alt.;;Toon7 3h. shra. lo.linanJW Morning, 3h. 4410.. .Afternoon, O. lm. LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 3. THE fearful explosion which on Saturday morn ing instantaneously wrecked every building in its immediate vicinity, startled the slumbering metro-, polis with its mysterious shock, and was sensibly felt throughout a circuit of more than twenty miles, is far more like one of the terrible convulsions of nature than any of the accidents which usually result from mere human contrivance. Familiar as we are with the sudden devastation pro duced by the violent escape of steam, gas, gunpowder, and other expansive forces, from safe mechanical control, there has been no explosion in recent years which can at all compare in magnitude and extent with this catastrophe at the Erith powder magazines. The powder mills at Hounslow, for example, have more than once been laid in ruins, but in these cases the destructive effects were confined to a comparatively limited area, little serious damage being done beyond the limits of the works themselves. And the other day the explosion of • powder-laden vessel in the Mersey shook the walls and shattered the glass in half the houses and public buildings of Liverpool; but in this case no lives were lost, and very little property was destroyed. It is, however, at present impossible to estimate the destructive effect of the Erith calamity in both these respects. At present it is known that twelve persons have been killed and about twenty injured. The damage done to property in the neighbourhood may be estimated by the fact that at more than • mile from the spot shutters and window-frames were not only smashed in, but houses partially destroyed, the injury done to one residence alone being estimated at a thousand pounds. Great as was the injury thus done to property in the neighbourhood, it would have been far greater but for the extraordinary, but happily successful, efforts made to repair the serious damage done to the river embankment before the return of the tide. The explosion had destroyed fifty yards of the embankment, and if this had not been effectu ally repaired, in the course of • few hours the whole of the Erith and Belvedere district, which has latterly become very populous, would have been laid under water, and the local devastation already produced by the most destructive discovery of human art, have been rapidly completed by one of the most overwhelm ing forces of nature. In its mere physical aspects and sensuous im pressions, not only to the eye and ear, but to the whole nervous and muscular system, nothing could well be conceived more sublime and terrible than that awful convulsion which, in the silence and mellowed sunlight of an autumn morning, gathered with • voice of thunder the solid materials of the earth's surface, as a mighty waterspout sweeps the yielding wave, into a dense column of flame and smoke reaching to the clouds. Probably few spectators actually witnessed it, but the account given by cue who saw it some miles off is evidently truthful, and may in part enable us to appreciate the exceptional grandeur of the sight. A watchman on the pier at Graveeend, who heard an awful explosion and felt the sudden shock, says, "On turning round I saw as it were a pillar " of fire rising to the clouds, which it appeared to " strike, and then spread out like a huge fan, pre " senting • most beautiful and grand spec " tacle." The most extensive artificial explo sions we can recal, whether made in the interests of peace or war, will scarcely parallel the unexpected volcano which, from the dead level of the Erith marshes, poured its volume of flame to the sky and fell in ruin on the districts round. Some of our great engineering blasts in this country may have approached in force such an explosion, but the gigantic mine recently sprung by General GRANT in front of Petersburg is per haps the closest modern parallel of an artificial kind. In that case the effect was volcanic, a mountain of upheaved earth with a yawning chasm of crater in the centre being the result. Something of the same kind is now to be seen on the level sweep of the Erith marshes. AU that now remains of the extensive and orderly buildings that lately covered some acres are heaps of tumbled earth and bricks, and massive fragments of timber, beams of half a ton weight, have been hurled like stars across the adjacent fields. For any sufficient parallel to the destructive effects of the explosion we must look to some of the great convul sions of nature. In many of its incident' it undoubtedly resembled a severe shock of earth quake, and it is not surprising that for • distance of from ten to twenty miles on either aide of the river, the inh►bitants should have attributed the sudden concussion which shook every door and window in their houses, and produced an inde finable sense of alarm, to this cause.

A fearful catastrophe has taken place near St. Petersburg, which has thrown all the inhabitants into the greatest alarm. A portion of the great powder-mill of Ochta, a suburb of St. Petersburg, has exploded. The noise of the explosion was terrible, and its effect very disastrous. About thirty buildings have been destroyed. A considerable number have been set on fire and about 80 have been injured. Six workmen were killed, more than 50 wounded, some seriously, and no trace whatever could be found of three others. The country around has more or less suffered from the shock, and all the window panes of the Convent of Smolnoe, on the other side of the Neva, were smashed. THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE OF ROME ON THE FRANCO-ITALIAN TREATY. The National Committee of Rome has issued the following proclamation to the citizens of Rome on the subject of the Franco-Italian treaty : Romans,—Franoe has at length decided on withdrawing her troops from Rome within two years time. The principle of non-intervention has won the day in our case also. The enormities of the court of Rome and the legitimate, as pirations of a people, have put an end to that immobility which left the Roman question without solution. The King's government has not fettered itself by any condition which would deprive us Romans of the right to annex ourselves to the kingdom of Italy and the King from accepting that annexation. In stipulating for respect of the froatisn on the part of the Italian troops, it was desired to leave Rome to the Romans, who, far from being a monsoon of catholicity, are the absolute arbiters of their own &nay. Roman., you have Una your fate in your own bends. You will be able to exercise that right which is no longer refused to any people—universal tannic However, remem ber that you have still to struggle against clerical tyranny which cannot be destroyed like soy other tyranny. For a long time we persuaded ourselves that in order Untainted° the teen pond, the Court of Rome had made inroads ea the spiritual, power. We ought to get rid of this abuse of oocdicting powers which exclude on soother, and which threaten to involve the penny in their min. We have the twofold duty of restoring Rome to the Romans, and of giving the church that liberty which she now wants. But to succeed we must be strong, moderate, united, and we will be. Roman, Europe has her eyes fixed upon us, and all the reactionary party which has established its head quarters in the Rome of the Popes will preen upon as with its entire force. Let us solemnly presen ourselves, and give ooessan foe no interfere's:ie. We shall respect the Bishop of Rome whilst we get rid of the most ferocious of governments, whose anions may be summed up in the memacre of people, the taking away of childne, hospitality afforded to amanns, prisons, and exile. Romans, lid us be strong and the future will belong to us, Let as be strong because the sbir►i of all countries will shortly swarm around the pontifical flog. We ought to have but one will and one arm to destroy this last refuge of the reaction—that constant MIMI, to Italy and civilised Europa Romans, let us prove ourselves to be on a levet with our destiny. Ws have a great mission—that of pre serving the church to the papacy, of restoring Rome to the Ramos, and accomplishing the great regeneration of Italy. We will sot fail in oar duty. Rome, Sept. 21, 1864. (writes TELZOILLXB.) M. DROUTN DE LHUYS' DESPATCH ON THE EVACUATION OF ROME. PARIS, Ocr. 3. The following is a summary of the despatch dated Sept. 12, addressed by M.. Drouyn de Lhuys to M. de Sartigee on the evacuation of Rome : " The despatch recills that the French govern ment always considered the occupation of Rome as abnormal and temporary. In 1859 the Pope pro posed to fix the end of that year for the evacuation of the papal territory by the French, but events prevented this from taking place. In 1860 the French troops were to have returned at the end of August, but the agitation which arose again pre vented the evacuation from being accomplished." M. Drouyn de Lhuys then explains the reasons which made France desire the evacuation of Rome, and continues :—" The occupation of Rome constitutes au act of intervention contrary to one of the funda mental principles of our public law, and is the more difficult to justify inasmuch as our object in lending Piedmont armed support was to free Italy from foreign intervention. The consequence of this state of things is to place two distinct sovereign ties face to face on the same territory, and to frequently give rise to serious difficulties. The equity of things is stronger than the will of man. Frequent changes have taken place in the chief command of the French army, and neverthe less the same discussions and the same conflicts of jurisdiction have continually recurred. Other inconveniences result from different political points of view. Two governments, not following the same inspirations, do not proceed on the same principles, and our conscience obliges us too often to give advice which too often the court of Rome believes itself bound to decline. In witnessing acts at variance with our social condition and the maxims of our legislation, we escape with diffi culty the responsibility of a policy which we cannot approve." The despatch continues, " Notwithstanding the manifest inconvenience which we experienced, we resolved not to allow ourselves to be diverted from the mission we had accepted." M. Drouyn do Lbuys then points out the happy changes which have taken place in the general con dition of the Peninsula. "The Italian govern. ment," he says, " has succeeded in dissolving the formidable associations directed against Rome. It did not confine itself to oppo,sing the or ganisation of any regular force against the Pontifical territory, but impressed its policy to wards the Holy See with a tendency more in harmony with international duties. It ceased to put forward in the chamber the absolute programme proclaiming Rome as the capital of Italy, and to address to us peremptory declarations on that sub ject. Other ideas now begin to prevail. Renounc ing the pursuit by force of the realisation of a project we were determined to oppose, and being unable to retain Turin as the sea of authority, the presence of which is essential at a more central point, the cabinet of Turin itself intended transferring the capital to another city. This eventuality is of the highest impor tance for the Holy See as well as for the Emperor's government, for it will constitute a new state of things no longer offering the same dangers." The despatch says, in conclusion, that France, on seeing the stipulations for the protection of the Holy See, might then fix a term for the evacuation of Rome. The Holy See must also desire to return to the normal state of an independent government "We are confident," says the minister, " that it will do us full justice for the sentiments by which we are guided." DENMARK AND BLEf3WIG. COPENHAGEN, ()el.. 3. The question of the boundary line between Sleswig and Jutland is still unsettled. Captain Schuller, of the Danish service, has arrived here from Vienna to discuss that point with the Danish Minister for Sleswig. TM point in dispute is the small town of Christiansfeld, in Sleswig, which is claimed by Denmark. DRURY LANE. The second part of Henry the Fourth, one of the richest in character and poetical writingolSliskespeareschro nicle plays, was produced at this home on Saturday night, according so promise. Though it contains no 'pentacle —no incident capable of profuse stage Must:lotion, like the battle of Shrewsbury, and vary little connected story, it appeared to give unlimited mtisfaction to a most crowded audience. The applause was nearly always given in the right plane, and was bestowed upon others besides the prin cipal characters. The acting on Saturday left little to be desired. Mr. Phelps is always strikingly artistic when he has to deal with strongly marked chazacur, and his assumption of Justice Shallow -the old, garrulous, weak-minded, quick, nervous, county justice, was elaborate and perfect. The sentiment of the part wa■ most delicately brought out, the reflections upon old bauble's death, and the recollections of youthful frolics being particularly effective. The fine merges put into the month of the Sing were also carefully and feelingly declaimed. and the opening soliloquy, beginning How many thAutand of my poorest subjects are at this hour asleep and endiog Uneasy hes the brad that wears a crown. fairly brought down the home. Tie interview with Prince Henry was impressively sated, and Mr. Edmund Phelps made a very excellent Prince of Wales. Falstaff, as ►t Sadler's Wells, was given to Mr. Bar rett, a sterling actor, whose reading of the part was sound, solid, and unctuous. Mr. Rozby was very spirited and emus. tug as the stage-struck Fidel, and Mr. G. F. Neville was chivalrous as Prince John. Silence and Dame Quickly bad good representatives in Mr. Fits-Jamas and Mrs. H. Van. denhoff, and many of the minor parts were well, though a little too quaintly performed.

NIXPRM3B FROM PAM& (MN 001 OWN PARIS, 81:111DAT EV131112. The Debtsla has caught the Prance tripping. M. de la Gueronnibre's journal, in its zeal to serve two masters, the Pope and the Emperor, pro pounded yesterday the following dilemma : " Either the treaty of Sept. 15 maintains the condi tions necessary for the independence of the papacy or it destroys them. In the second case"—the France admits, then, says the Dibats parentheti cally, the possibility of the second case—" the treaty would be morally vitiated by alterations in fact, and it would owe to be operative." But the France is estopped from treating the conven tion of September 15 as such an ill-considered doubtful document as it would now have it be- 1 Hayed, for only three days ago it declared that it was a " definitive solution," the most eternal and unchangeable thing in the world. It appears to be certain, although the fact has been contradicted, that the French plenipotentiary at Rome, M. de Sartigee, communicated the con vention of Sept. 15 not to the Pope in person' but to Cardinal Antonelli on the 21/th ult. The cardinal, whose cue it was to carp at the treaty, said ironically that he did not see why there should be a delay of two years, meaning obviously that the Pope would be no better prepared at that dis tauce of time to conciliate the affection of his sub jects than now. The French envoy replied drily that the Emperor wished to give the Holy See time to organise a sufficient army to protect itself, but that the Pope was at perfect liberty to send the French garrison away sooner if be wished. This conversation, supposing it to be, as I think it is, accurately reported, furnishes a valuable key to the construction of the convention, and tends to show, subject to the possibility of reticences of which there are no indications, that the Debats takes the right view of it. There is a discussion going on as to the meaning of the phrase in M. Paulin Limayrac's late article in the Constitutionuei, " hereafter there will be no foreigners in Italy except in Venice." The question is whether that phrase was used lightly, or whether it was a well considered threat to Austria, implying that France contemplated her ultimate evacuation of Venice. The latter is the better opinion. There is considerable confusion about court news, resulting probably from indecision, or to use the stronger French word, tirai/knients, in high quarters. Last night the Patrie told us that the Empress was so pleased with Schwalbach that sbe would stay there till the 10th, and that in con sequence the departure of the court for Compiegne would be postponed till the 20th. It bad been said that the Empress would return on the 3rd, and that the Compiegne festivities were to commence on the 10th. Now the Pays, without fixing any precise date, says the Empress will be iu Paris towards the end of the week. A false report was in circulation that her Majesty bad made an excur sion from Schwalbach to Baden-Baden. It is still said that she will stop there on her way home, and will have meetings with the Queen of Prussia and the Empress of Russia. All the Paris papers announced, and the news was telegraphed to London, that Prince Humbert bad left Paris almost immediately after his arrival for Turin. The fact is that he is still here, and it is anticipated that he will spend a week at Compiegne, where great doings will take place on his account. The Pays says he will not leave Paris till the 20th. There are rumours, the principal foundation for which, perhaps, is the adjournment of the meeting of the Italian chambers, that the removal of the site of the Italian government from Turin to Florence will he postponed for a year, or perhaps even till the last French soldier shall have quitted Rome.

A frightful occurrence took place a few days ago (says a letter from Rome), just out of Velletri, on the road to Valmotitoee, where there was a fair that day. A young man, named 1). Santis, was riding out in company with some friends, when, from a lane, a man, armed wish a gun, stepped into the middle of the rod and intimated to the party to stop. De Santis, who was nearest to him, pulled out a revolver and shot the brigand at once, but had no sooner done so than he was himself shot down by the falling brigand, according to some accounts, or by his aocomplicee, accordiag to others, who were in ambush behind the hedge and @bowed themselves on hearing the report of firearms.

(nor ova snow, cosiusrostort) STOCKHOLM, Sim 26 Samna. An immense crowd has just welcomed the Prince and Princess of Wales on the quay opposite the Palace. At seven o'clock it became obvious that the landing would have to take place by artificial light. A quantity of flambeaux were brought down and distributed among the policemen and the guards who were waiting near the carriages. The waiting bad grown tedious by this time, but very shortly after seven our eyes were gladdened by the sight of lurid flashes in the sky to sea ward, which told us that a fort called " tbe castle," on an island a few miles from the town, was saluting the royal squadron. The distance was too great to allow the sound to reach us against a gentle breeze which was blowing, and the silent flashes of the guns, momentarily illuminating the clouds like gleams of summer lightning, bad a curious effect. This saluting meant that the Prince would be at the landing place in half an hour. The flambeaux, therefore, were lighted, the positions of the policemen who held them were shifted, the offi cials present moved about more than before, and everybody plucked up his drooping spirit. The view out to seaward, however, was perfectly dark by this time, and we could not see the Osborne as she came up, for the glare of the flambeaux made it impossible to distinguish distant objects. I found out afterwards, however, that the Os borne came up abreast of the Palace, and an chored within seventy or eighty yards of the shore. Then her barge was brought to the side ladder, and the whole party entered it. As the boat pushed off the Osborne burned blue lights, and the Swedish gentlemen on the landing place threw off their great coats and went down to the water's edge. In a few momenta the boat was alongside in the glare of the flambeaux, and the crowd began to cheer. The officials and officers crowded round, and several persons were on shore iu a few seconds, so that it was almost impossible to say who landed first ; but I think that the Princess of Wales, handed out by the Governor of Stockholm, was the first to put her foot on shore. She and Prince Oscar, in his dark blue uniform of vice -admiral, and preceded by men with flambeaux, then walked slowly up the pathway, while the crowd cheered loudly and heartily. The Prince of Wales, in a general's uniform, and therefore con spicuous by being the only man present in scarlet, and Prince John of Glucksburg followed them closely. To describe the order in which the members of the suite followed would be a super fluous task, which it would be difficult to perform correctly, for the flambeaux were on in advance, and the whole party followed the Prince of Wales in a crowd. When the Princess and Prince Oscar reached the end of the pathway a very pretty sight presented itself—the Charles XII. Guards had each been pro vided with lighted flambeaux, and they wheeled round two and two and cantered past, the horses prancing, and all but unmanageable under the double excitement of the noise and lights. A large open carriage with four horses, led by running footmen, followed them closely, end in this, amid the cheers of the crowd, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince Oscar, and Prince John of Denmark were driven ofL Another carriage and four was instantly at the end of the pathway, and then ano ther and another. In a very few moments the whole party had been taken up, and the busy show was over. Within the courtyard of the palace was another great crowd, and a military band which played "God save the Queen" for about a quarter of an hour after the Prince's arrival. The King received his guests within the palace, and I have since been told that they were not insensible to the splendour which awaited them. The effect of the rooms when lighted up, as they were when the Prince and Princess first saw them, must have been indeed superb. . SEPT. V, 1 o'cr.ocic P.M. The Prince and Princess have already shown us that they have been in no way fatigued by their voyage, fur they have paid a state visit, accompa nied by the King and court, to the theatre. It was hoped that they would do this, and the performance of the Figlia del Reggiesento, the opera of the evening, was put off till a late hour to suit them. The opera house of Stockholm is peculiarly well suited to a state visit, for the royal box is a large enclosure, occupying the centre of the first circle, and surmounted by a gilded crown and crimson velvet canopy. The King, the Queen, the Queen Dowager, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince Oscar, and the others, came into the box at a little after ten o'clock, and the performances were inter rupted to allow the orchestra to play " God save the Queen." The house, which is a large one, con taining five tiers of boxes, was crammed iu every Corner. General Garibaldi has written the following let ter to the editor of the Movinento : " Capture, Sept. 26. beg of you to insert the following in your exodlent journal. It is said that there are circulating in England bills of exchange, purporting to bear my signature. I beg to say that such signatures are false, as I have not Aped any bills of exchange for soy rum or for any puma— C. GARIBALDI."

THE COHEN AFFAIR. The Side has the following : The Jewish Amities* had announced that a anbecriptioa was opened for the expatriation of all the subjects of the Pope belonging to the Jewish religion. The convention of November 15 will probably do sway with the nosessity for this subetription although a good many Jewish children may be forced away from their parents in the 00M1110 of tan years. Neophytes are restored to their parents when they are protesionte, and when on English cousul demands their restoration : but when Inelite neophyte are concerned the mane adopted is quite different. The fire e Cat/no/am says, " The Cohen affair, as the journals which Irish to give themeless an air of importance call it, is settled. In a short time the young catethumeo will receive holy baptism ; he will eater the Church of Jesus Christ, in spite of all the libertines of the world,of all the principles of 1789, and of all the diplomacy which is founded on those principles." Whilst they are rejoicing in Rome at the happy termination of the Cohen affair, the Index has not ceased to act. It has just condemned, " Les Aveotures do Chevalier de Febnlas." It was high time. SHOCKING TRAGEDY AT WINDSOR. Yesterday afternoon a shocking tragedy oe. cured at old Windsor. Five chi/dren of a man named Cook, formerly a hairdresser, at Etas, were found to have been poisoned. Nothing having been been of the children for two or three days, a forcible entry was made into the house, where a fright! al scene pre• seated itself. Three of the children were lying deed aide by side. Of the two others one has since expired. The fif th, whose throat wee also cut, still survives, and was imme. diately removed to the Windsor Infirmary ; but slight boles, however, of its recovery are entert►ined.

The sad Windsor and its neighbourhood, where the family were well known. FATHER IGNATIUS AT MANCHESTER. Last evening the Corn Exchange, Hanging Ditch, Manchester, was dowdy crowded in every part with an audience apparently composed of every shade of religions opinion, who had assembled to hear Father Ignatius preach "On the Day of Judgment." Shortly before the service commenced an attendant seconded the platform bearing a crucifix, which he placed on a table. This was the signal for an outburst of hisses, which wan kept up for some time, and then drowned by the cheers of a counter party. A little after 7 Fatherl gna ti us came forward, aceompanied by Brother Brannock and a company of choristers. His appearance was greeted with mingled cheers and hisses. Proceeding to the front of the platform, Father Ignatius rid the audience mast bear in mind that he and hie :needs had come there to worship God, and if they persisted in those interruptions be would leave them se a company of heathens instead of Christians. (Cheers.) Father Ignatius proceeded :I do not want any applause ; I have onme here to worship God, and sotto beapplanded by guilty inners. (Here, and cheers.) At this time but few of those in the room had taken off their hats, and the rev. gentleman, again coming to the front of the platform, said, • I am ashamed of you ; and unless every one of you take off your bats, I will instantly leave the room." After • short pause, during which most of the gentlemen in the room uncovered their heads, Father Igna. tin said he was perfectly disgusted with their conduct ; be did not expect to have seen such things in tbe city of Man chester—(hear, beat) —they were little better than heathens. (A Voice, " Turn him out," mingled with cheers and bimetal Father Ignativa None of you were obliged to come here ; I never asked anyone to come, except to worship God, and if any of you have come for • different purpose, you had better go out. —A short pause ensued after this deli very, during which the disturbance subsided, and Father Ignatius proceeded with the service. A alight interruption took place whilst he was singing, but it was of short duration. The rev. gentleman selected as the subject of his discords* the 25th chapter of Matthew, and the 6th vase: "At midnight there was a cry made, behold the bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet him. During the discourse, which lasted upwards of an boar, only one interruption took plea, and at the close a collection was made to defray expenses, the surplus to be applied to "the extension of the cause of the ministry io Manchester and the opening of a adagios for the poor." When the service was cmacled, a great somber of people of both sexes hurried forward to the platform, and Father Ignatius was omit- Vied for fully a quarter of an boor in shaking hands with them, till be wee apparently exhausted by the preseere of their setlandasm. After • eonsiderable partial of the audience had left the rem, Father Ignatius returned to the platform, and stated that he lad his oaadjuten had established "a third order" in Manchester. for toe benefit of thorns who, although living in the world, were willing to triad themselves by certain rules to the church. A number of Manchester men had already joined the order, and facilities would be afforded at the sionelusio• of the meeting for any person who was willing to do so, to join them. We (Manchester Examiner) believe an inter view afterwards took place between Father Ignatius and • number of ladies and gentlemen who desired to join the connexion. Placards have been posted in Worcester sasonacing that Father Ignatius intends paying • visit to that city in a few days, to lecture on the gl i tt d. of " Monks and Monas teries for the Church of The death took place last week, at Bembridge, Isle of Wight, of the Rev. J. T. H. IA Ilesnrier, erchdeseon of the church of England in Yalta, and for 34 yams chaplain of the forces in that ialand. At the annual speech day and prize distribution of the Manchester Free Grammar School, on Saturday, the High Master said the academical honours o( the past year had berm equal to the sbuidard of former years. They had now at Bellied College, Oxford, four mes,ftwo as exhibi tioaors and two ea scholars, giving them a position whisk no other school in England except Marlborough Gould equai. Professor Roger., the professor of political economy at Oxford, sad one of the examiners, expressed an opinion that the school might be greatly enlarged, and that, con sidering the size sad importance of the city, they ought to be able to have double the number of scholars. Re :e -1 marked th►t Manchester, when it first appeared at the university local examinations, held a position the worst of any in England ; now it had assumed nearly, if not entirely, the first position in respect to the more eassatisl and rudi mastery branches of learning. - .
