SIAM Anr Om EXTRAORDINARY ARREST TOR PENIANISM. (From the Northern Whig.) On Thursday last the greatest indignation, on the pert of the inhabitants of a large section of the county of Louth, was felt on its being known that a meet respect able and peaceable, as well as a very popular, landed pro prietor, Laurence Roche, Esq., of Mußschboe, near Ardee, had been taken into custody in front of the stand-house at the races at Culloville, on a chary of being a Fenian leader. In his own immediate neighbourhood, where his amiable qualities are so well known, considerable excite ment prevailed when it was announced that he had been sent to Newtownhamilton Prison. The circum stances of the case are briefly these :—Mr. Roche and a few friends drove to CullovWe Race- Douroe on the second day of the sports, and spent a length of time in the enclosure at the stand-house, on leaving which a head-constable named Burns tapped him on the shoulder, and told him he was his prisoner. Mr. Roche and his friends remonstrated with the policeman, and sought to get information ea to the cause of the arrest, which the head-constable refused to disclose ; and, on Mr. Roche's brother pressing the question rather strongly, he was threatened with arrest also, and a prise of police were called to the head-constable's aid. With the assistance of three or four sub-constables, the bead constable marched his prisoner to the barrack, about a mile distant. Several friends of Mr. Roche accom panied the escort; and, when they arrived at the barrack, they made application to • magistrate they found there, a Mr. Johnston, to take bail for the appearance of the prisoner on a future day. Mr. John ston regretted that he could not interfere in the ease ; and, for Ibis reason, that he knew nothing whatever of the charge brought against him, nor would the head-con stable then enter upon it. From this barrack Mr. Roche was then obliged to walk a distance of two miles to Cross maglen Court-house, where a short information was sworn by Head-Constable Burns, on which the prisoner was com mitted to Newtownhamilton Bridewell, where he remained during the night. Next day he was brought back to Cross maglen, and an investigation was opened before Mr. °name, R.M., and Mr. Johnstone, J.P. The informations of Head-Constable Burns were produced and read. They were to the effect that, from information which he (witness) had received, he felt it his duty to arrest Mr. Roche on a charge of being connected with the Fenian conspiracy. Cross-examined by Mr. Philip Callan, barrister, who, instructed by Mr. C. Dl'Mahon, solicitur, appeared on behalf of the prisoner—Considers himself fully justified in having arrested Mr. Roche. Never heard anything against Mr. Roche before the present charge. Did not know Mr. Roche, but he was pointed out to him. Considers he was fully justifies( in arresting him. Believes the prisoner to be • Fenian on the , pee dint of his informant. Refuses to give up the urine of his informant. Heard there was to be • great Fenian demonstration on the race-course that day. Saw no such demonstration. Another man named Geo ghegan, apparently respectable, was arrested on the race course MUDD day. He Is only a short time home from Ame rica. He it in custody. Sub-Inspector Black exsmined—l was acting on the race-course on the day in question as 'mum tenena for Sub-Inspector Holmes. I did not know of the arrest until after it was made. I did not feel myself at all responsible for the act. I told some of Mr. Roche's friends, who were remonstrating against the arrest, that they might consider themselves very safe in nut being in a like position. I admit I would have acted on the statement as Burls and consider I was perfectly justified in so doing. Head-Constable Burns now applied to the court to re mand the prisoner. Mr. Callan, in the strongest terms, protested against a remand. He said the conduct on the part of the police in this particular case was monstrous, as there was not the shadow of evidence against his client ; and the outrage committed on his person was aggravated by the present attempt to shield their misconduct and blundering. Mr. M'Mabon, who begged to be permitted to address a few words to the bench, observed that Mr. Roche'. social position in the countyof Louth, where he was an extensive landowner, ahvuld be the best guarantee to any rational man that he would not join the ranks of those whose avowed object was to upset or overturn all the social rela tions of the country. He contended that the head-con stable was precipitate in arresting a gentleman like Mr. Roche on the bare whisper of a blood-sucker. He ought to have sworn evidence from his informant, and after that he should make particular inquiry as to the prisoner's position in life, and his character ; but, no matter bow Burns 's superiors may endeavour to shield his ignorant blunder, he (Mr. Dl'Mahon) on an early day would give the head-constable ample opportunity of legally justifying hie conduct. He called for an acquittal of the prisoner. The court, having consulted for a short time, ruled that Mr. Roche should stand out on bail to appear when called on. A like rule was made in the case of Mr. Geoghegan.— Northera Whig. to The Inman steamship City of Boston, from New York on the 20th inst., arrived at Queenstown a t 6.30 p.m. yesterday, with 330 passengers and 21,825 dole. in specie.

In time we may so improve and change the face of the country that PleatY aAd prosperity will reign where death and de loti on now New ; bat unless gigantic exertiosis are made, unless pubis' works advance at a more rapid rate than they do now, it would be wiser to school our minds to the convic tion that the Orissa famine is not the last that we shall have canes to deplore, Meanwhile it is our duty to take messures which shall mitigate the distaste which is the tioneemitant of these fearful scourges. It is not enough to wait, as 151 the present instance did the Bengal authorities, until the plague has declared itself in all its intensity. We must anticipate and provide beforehand. We must relieve from the outset. Money pouring in from all quarters in munificent sums, weeks after the famine has broken out, may be the means of saving many, but hundreds must have succumbed, as in the present instance, before the welcome relief arrives. Some ready-made organisation, capable of befog put into working order at • moment's notice, would seem to be wanted. Would it not be possible to establish • permanent famine fund ? Some scheme could surely be devised by which money could be kept in head far the =of alleviating the ditties, of a famine at the very . There are hundreds of charitable people who would regularly subscribe to such a philanthropio predict. Besides, there is good reason for believing that more money is actually required to inset the necessities of • Marring multitude like the people of Orissa when the plague has reached its height, than would have been wanted had proper foresight been exercised, and tbs tones of charity methodi cally beforehand- The breathless haste with which my to repair the evil which has already aastimed tremendous proportions alone produces a 0111illilt amount of waste and misapplication of means. Finding that the c has passed almost beyond Mama osentrol. mea altast"h e liab le e to lose their heads, and their efforts lash that well-directed aim and that telling effect that • proem carted scheme would give them. If • permanent famine fund were established, under proper supervision and such regulations as experience would suggest, we should be able to rumour the distressed from the very first ; and the neceedty for these sudden spasmodic calls upon public charity—when the charity comes too late to be of any U. to the poor wretches who have already fallen victims — would be reduced, if not altogether done away with. The interest of the money thus contributed, if the rum were lar as we should be justified in expecting it to be, could ge, be spent with advantage upon public work' in the districts peculiarly liable to scarcity, or in any other way that those entrusted with its management might consider advisable. We make these suggestions rather with the view of directing attention to the consideration of the feasibility of any scheme, than with a conviction of the wisdom of this particular project. So far as we can see, an imperial and discriminating arrangement of this bind would be free from most or all the objections that are fatal to an Yadkin poor law. It may deserve some thought, however, as an outline, and might be capable of improvement and development. If we may judge from the experience of other famines, there will probably be A balance in hand to the credit of the relief committee when the present die trees has pissed away. Why not make this the nucleus of a permanent fund? Such a balance from the contribution to the North-West Provinces famine fund was in hand and served to aid in the present distress ; though for mint of a standing committee the aid, like all else about the government action, was tardily given. Whether this plan be good or not, something must be done, if we care about the lives of our poorer subjects. It is • terrible thought, that our offerings, munificent as they are, have been power less to save hundreds from a miserable death, and powerless only because they have been too late.

Even in the last moment ° of the pleibiscite, when the ceremony wax all but over, and the doors of the district offices were about to be closed, stray voters ran hurriedly to these offices, that they might add their "yes" to the answer of the province. I may have chanced to witness the entry of the seven crosagrained negatives, and may have wasted my sympathy upon them. Yet as I watched the latest arrivals in one of the districts of Venice, they seemed so 1 anxious not to be shut out, that I could not believe that they were going to say "no." Such negative creatures would have been half-hearted, and would have allowed themselves to linger ; but these tame straight forward, ticket in hand, like honest men.

BERLIN, Ocr. 29. The Crown Prince of Prussia is expected to leave Berlin on the 2nd November next, for St. Peters burg, in order to be present at the marriage of the Caarewiteh. A solemn thanksgiving and great national fite will take place at Berlin on the 11th November, in celebration of the recent oonduaion of peace. SAXONY. DitI23DEN, Ocr. 29. The Saxon Diet has been convoked for the middle of November next. A royal decree has been issued ordering the strict observance of the paragraph in the Pruaso-Saxon treaty of peace relative to the political amnesty. General Bonin, the Prussian commander-in-chief in Saxony, has arrived here. The following towns will receive Prusaian garri sons, namely :—Dresden, Leipzig, Chemnitz, Baut zen, Zittau, Grossenhayn, Oschatz, Riess, Meissen, and Pinta. All other tow as in Saxony will be garrisoned by Saxon troops alone. The Saxon portion of the Dresden garrison will oonaist of the Royal Body Guard. BADEN. CARTARIIHE, Ocr. 29. The Chamber of Deputies has almost unanimously rejected the bill proposing an increase in the public taxes during the year 1867. Only one member voted in favour of the bill. MEXICO.

Many new members were returned, but the majority still re mains on the liberal side. GENEVA, Ocr. 29. At the elections to the National Council in this city the conservative canditlates have been victorious. THE BANK OF PRUSSIA. BERLIN, OCT. 29. The Bank of Prussia has reduced its rate of dis count from 5 to 4i per cent. AMERICA. VENICE, Ocr. 25. There has been a gradual making fast of the Venetian galley alongside the national ship of state, and they are now so closely lashed together that they begin to have the appearance of one com plete vessel. Italian soldiers and sailors have be come as familiar with the narrow passages of Venice and with the small stone bridges across the canals as were Austrian soldiers and sailors a month ago. The military coffee-houses and dining-rooms have another race of customers, whilst the stagnation of trade and the suppression of literature which cha racterised the Austrian Venice are succeeded by activity and enterprise. Those steamboat lines to which I alluded in a former letter—lines connecting Venice with Egypt and the Levant—are being rapidly organised. We have advertisements of a joint stock bank and of two additional newspapers. The post has become Italian, with Victor Emma , nuel's head on the postage stamps, and at least a couple of days saved upon letters to England, by their not going round through Vienna. The arsenal is in charge of an Italian admiral, who announces that its labourers shall be presently re-employed ; and as to the municipality of the city, it has undergone a peaceable but complete revolution. The former mayor and councillors, who had been appointed under Austrian rule, have given place to a body of gentlemen thoroughly in the confidence of the people. Not only are the retail shops of the city painted, plastered, and extended, but new branches of business have been added to the common stock of Venetian industry. The gun smiths are a sight to see, with their tempting revolvers, their double-barrel breech-loaders, and their array of bayonets on sale for the National Guard. Then, too, there are a score of news-rooms and of newspaper stalls stuck at the street corners like birdcages neatly framed and glazed. A free press is the crowning novelty of the season. Not only has Venice her own six or seven daily papers, which have sprung into life during the present month, and some of which must soon be crowded to death I amongst their rivals ; but Florentine and Milanese prints are regularly received and distributed. We I live in the full light of Italian journalism, the old barriers are swept away, and the curtain which shut out Venice from her sister cities has faded into empty air. Illustrated papers, comic papers, and detached caricatures are sold at the stalls, so are photographs of Victor Emmanuel, Gari baldi, and Bismarck. I have noticed other pic tures, not produced until the Austrian dominion was over, wherein are portrayed the incidents of 1848. There has been a long silence about those days of wild despairing effort to shake off the yoke, but now that everyone may speak his mine, the people are not slow to show how well they remem ber who fought for them and who suffered in their I cause. Amongst the most honoured guests—if guest he can be called—who have lately arrived in Venice is George Marlin, the son of the dictator of 1848. His father died in exile, always believing that the time of deliverance would come, though scarce hopeful that he should witness it himself ; and it is a comfort to the people that the son should come amongst them as an officer of rank in the Italian army. George Mania has proved no unworthy inheritor of the name which he bears having played a distinguished part in the CHINA. Shanghae papers give us the following particu lars respecting the northern treaty ports : At Newchwang trade has not been very p During the early months the Mongolian deal ere refrained from paying their usual visit. They were deterred by the cruelty of the robber hands, which had been rendered desperate by the campaign of Wen•seassg. Local astir. merchants were thus tempted, in the absence of the usual and legitimate trade,to indulge in over-speculation of ' , eery kind, and the usual results ensued, bankruptcy, distrust, and stagnation. Improvement is already peroeptible, and this port will, moreover, in future, enjoy the advantages arising from a perfect security existing along the channels which drain and supply the market. The United States consul has recently been to Pekin and his succeeded in obtaining a garrison of disciplined troops, for the eimerial purpose of repressing the sweedwracks, who have proved so constant a source of annoyance. The crew of a small American schooner, wrecked off the Comm coast, have recently arrived at Newchwang, and speak in the highest terms of the kindness shown them by the natives. It is to be hoped that, if the French expedition be carried out, the frequent kindness shown to shipwrecked sailors will not be forgotten ; and that the sins of the government will not be visited on the heads of the people. Tientsin letters speak hopefully of the prospect of the Trans- Mongolian Te'egraph. Females have been substituted for male clerks along the line. Tho river at Hankow has fallen 2 feet 9 inches up to the 24th of August, and the higher parts of tho bond were again visible. At Chtnkiang native reports have been received that the Yellow River has burst through its em bankment in two places in the Shinghwa district, on the confines of this province and Shantung, destroying all the rice crops in the surrounding country. Sunstroke is stated by the Recorder to have been very provaleutin the villages surrounding Shanghai. Robberies from cargo boats were becoming very frequent. A native employi at the Consulate of Shanghai has been convicted of taking a bribe of 10 dollars in connection with a case recently tried before the court, and sentenced to he exposed for ten days in handcuffs, with a statement of his offence hung round his neck, outside the court doors, and, at the expiration o that period, to receive a hundred blows and to be discharged from the Consulate service. According to latest advises from Foochow, the heat this summer has been very intense at that port, the thermometer frequently reaching 100 in the shade. Hong Kong has been agitated by a proposed stamp act, which is referred to in the following terms by the Overland China Mail : The simple issue before the public was, whether an in creasing deficiency in our revenue, equal next year to 120,000 dollars, should be met by the imposition of mode rate stamp duties, on the plan that has worked so success fully and satisfactorily at the Straits settlements, or whether the extra revenue should he raised by an increase of the assessed taxes on house property, which is already burdened to the extent of 12 per cent. per annum. His excellency was of opinion that the imposition of light stamp duties, such as are passed, was the fairest mole of taxation, as by that means the burden of maintaining the colony would be partly borne by those who made great and profitable use of it, but who had hitherto escaped paying the smallest contribution ; while the householders and renters, among whom the less wealthy portions of the community are to be found, would not have to complain of the injustice of making them solely responsible for the financial integrity of the colony. The arguments on both sides are fully set out in the memorial and in the Governor's speech, and tFe real impression, underlying the apparent enthusiasm of the opposition, is, that the Governor has made a wise and equitable decides. SINGULAR DEATH.—An inquest, tinder peculiar circumstances, was held on Wednesday, the 24th instant, by Mr. Robert Buchanan, coroner, Fintona, on the body of John Norris, who died at Cannowen, near Omagh, on the 13th inst. The body of the deceased gentleman was ex humed for the purpose, after having been nine days in. terred. Mr. Charles Scott, J.l'., and Mr. Win. 0. Orr, coroner, Omagh, cousin of the deceased, were pro. sent at the inquest. Mr. T. C. Vickie and Mr. A. Elliott, solicitors, Omagh, and Mr. W. Cald well, solicitor, Clogher, attended to watch the proceed ings on the part of the relatives. Drs. Thompson, Flem ing, and Love gave evidence as to the cause of death, after having examined the body. After hearing evidence the jury returned the following verdict:—" That the de , °eased John Norris died on the 13th day of October, from an anthrax occupying the entire of the back of the left side of the chest, and we find that he was a person of eccentric habits, and that his death was accelerated from want of proper medical advice and care." It is under stood that the deceased has left his entire property, amounting, it is said, to 30,000!. or upwards, to Mr. Robert Harvey, of Lisahoppin, less a bequest of 100 i. to the manager of the Ulster Bank, Omagh, and the validity of the will is likely to be disputed by numerous relatives of the docessed.—Derre ENGLISH AND SCOTCH AGRICULTURMITS FOR TEXAS.—In a few days there will sail from the Mersey, for Galveston, a ship with 300 emigrants. About 240 of this number will be Scotch agricultural labourers, and the re mainder will come from Devonshire. On the arrival of the vessel at Galveston, the emigrants, after a delay of a few days, will be forwarded into the interior of Texas, where they will be employed as agriculturists. The ship in which these emigrants sail takes out a large quantity of agricultural implements made purposely for the work they are intended for. In a few weeks another batch of English and Scotch labourers will sail from the Massy for she same destination. [STAMPID, ld. ADDITIONAI] recent struggles between Italy and Austria. It is said that in futice he will have the chief command of the National Guard of the province. Other patriotic families have been as gratefully remem bered as that of Mania, though with scene of them the memory is all of sadness and regret. The vene rable Baroness Bendier' was lately serenaded by a crowd of Venetians who had heard of her arrival in the city, and were anxious to show their respect to the mother of two of the martyrs to freedom. Her children died long ago, but they had not been for gotten by their fellow-countrymen, and when the Baroness, who is now eighty years of age, appeared at her window in answer to the request of a depu tation from the crowd, she received an enthusiastic greeting. Then, after cheers for the King and Garibaldi, the musicians retired and the crowd dispersed. I might relate many more instances of the keen recollection of the past which is borne by Venice. Not even the " Vivas" for the Italian army, on that bright and happy nineteenth of October, were louder than those for the Countess Mont alban-Comello. The colours which she had presented to the National Guard were carried at the head of the procession, and everyone knew, as the marble palaces echoed back her name, that this courageous lady had suffered imprisonment for conspiring against Austria. A short time subsequent to the entry of the troops, the first political prisoner released by his Imperial Majesty arrived in Venice. Signor Brinis was met at the station by a band of music, and by citizens bearing tricolour flags. It was some disappointment to the crowd that he came alone, his companions in misfortune having been delayed on their journey, albeit he was none the less heartily welcomed back. But if we have had no return of prisoners in a body, we have bad almost the same thing in a return of maritime con scripts from the Austrian service. They are fine strapping young sailors ; and their loss to the im perial marine cannot easily be repaired. Of all the 45,000 conscripts furnished to Austria by Venetia, none were more useful than the sailors of the Lagoon. Soldiers can be manufactured out of Huns and Croats in any required number, but blue jackets are not to be made to order. By what I saw of the returned conscripts, I imagine that there is no chance of their willingly going aboard ship again for any warlike purpose except to fight their old captains under a new flag. THE INDIA AND CHINA NAILS. By the arrival of the above mails we have advices from Bombay to Oct. 4; Madras, Sept. 28 ; Singa pore, Sept. 29 ; Hong Kong, Sept. 11 ; Shanghae, Sept. 4, &c. The advice, from Calcutta are no later than those published in our impression of the 22nd instant. . Our last advice, from Madras mentioned that grain riots had extensively prevailed in that city, obliging the civil authority to call in military aid, both ma the and European, as the police force was no longer able to restrain the growing violence of the mobs, which gathered simultaneously in different parts of the town and suburbs, and thereby rendering it impossible for the commissioner of police to con centrate sufficient strength at so many points of danger. That officer's report on the late disturb ances has been made public by government, and seems to show that most serious mischief would immediately have ensued had the action of the military authorities been leas prompt and decided than it was. ' " " Madras has thus passed easily and quickly 4 through a popular crisis (says the Madras ...tithe skrum) unprecedented, we believe, in extent for generations past, and which might have ended very seriously had the riotous disposition not been crushed in the bud." It adds : There is indeed no saying what might have happened had the civil power displayed less vigour and promptitude than it did. As far as matters went, no great mischief was done ; nor do the mobs appear to have been so far pre pared for any beyond bazaar looting. Major Hearn states that " in some places a few sticks were carried, but this was rare. Stones and brickbats flew occasionally during the riots, but to no great extent. No great violence to person was used, and only two cases have been re ported in which it was necessary to take sufferers to boapital from injuries received. About 130 she's and houses were looted in all." As far as he has been able to ascertain, the total value of property plundered is under2s,ooo rs., but " most exaggeratedreportsare made," which was naturally to be expected where natives suf fered, and may hope for reimbursement. Of that plunder, about 1,500 rupees' worth has been recovered, and more will be traced out by the police. It consisted chiefly of grain, but in some instances money, jewels, and other ar ticles were taken, showing what might have been looked for had the disturbances continued. The arrest of 256 persons is mentioned, whose cases are undergoing investi gation. We may well feel thankful that we have nothing worse than the foregoing to record. though it is painful enough. Had the outbreak been suffered to gain head for a little while, it would most likely have resulted in wholesale pillage and destruction of property ; very pos sibly in bloodshed and conflagration, and a terrible retri bution. The Athenaeum takes but a gloomy view of the future. It fears that Madras will have to endure severe privation for a long while yet, u there is no likelihood of any present importations of grain large enough to occasion a material reduction of prices. " From our provinces (it adds) the ac counts are on the whole improving, though to no great extent, but Bellary, Coimbatore, and Madura still send in very bad reports. The Joint Relief Funds had reached a total of Rs. 1,51,400 on the 24th inst. We lament to say that the horrors of famine and its concomitants, disease and death, continue unabated in Cuttack and the ad cent districts, and the behaviour of the BBengal government provokes the severest animad versions. The manifest evils that have resulted from Sir Cecil Beadon's absence during such a frightful season of calamity may be taken as an earnest of what would happen to the Indian provinces generally if all the chief seats of govern ment were permanently transferred to hill stations. There in Bengal, unnumbered tens of thousands of their fellow-creatures are dying the most miserable of deaths, while the Lieutenant-Governor and the Viceroy recreate themselves at Simla and Darjeel ing, instead of being on the spot to take per sonally all possible measures for the relief of those who still survive. Lord Napier acted very dif ferently with referer.ce to Ganjam." The Times of India has the following article on the famine in its number of the 2nd inst. : The periodical recurrence of famines in some agricultural districts of India would seem, under the present state of things, to have assumed almost the certainty of • natural law. At nnoertain intervals, but under certain well un derstood conditions, we may confidently expect them; and unless some grand alteration is made we shall be in the same predicament for many years to come. If famines are preventible, it is plainly our duty to address ourselves without • moment's delay to the teak of putting a final stop to them. And that they are preventible, that they are more or less the natural consequences of our own neglect, can hardly admit of a question. Where irrigation is defective famines will, under certain climatic conditions, inevitably ensue. An unusual drought, or a severe inundation, will naturally produce scarcity. A want of good roads will , enhance the severity of the catastrophe, ashes been the case in Orissa to a fearful extent. Without means of communica tion between the starving distiicts and others more fortu nate, the abundance of the latter will be powerless to ale ' viate the distress of the former. It is unnecessary to enlarge upoa these points, as they are pretty generally M- I mined. Conscious as we are of our ability to reduce the occurrence of famines to a minimum approaching ' almost to an impossibility, we are without excuse if we do I not aetabout the precautionary work at once. Of course it will was years to complete it, and therefore we are forced
