The French troops are concentrating in Rome previous to their departure. One regiment has already left for Civita Vecchia. Brigandage has recommenced on a large scale in the Campagna and Marittima provinces. ROME. ROME, Nov. 23. The fortifications constructed before the gates of Rome are being removed. The Pope is slightly indisposed. The official Giornale di Rome gives a denial to the journals which pretended to see an abuse of the power of the Holy See in the suppression of the Tribunal of Legation in Sicily. The official journal publishes the history of the tribunal, points out the legitimate right and the necessity for the suppression of the tribunal, which had become a stumbling-block and a scandal for the faithful. A solemn funeral mass has been celebrated at the Lateran for the soldiers killed in the recent en gagements. French and Pontifical officers were present on the occasion. THE CONFERENCE ON THE ROMAN QUESTION. PARIS, Nov. 23, EVENING. The Prance of this evening says Italy has ac cepted the invitation to a conference on the Ro man question. The Patric states that the Holy See's acceptance is not yet official, and adds that the Papal govern ment desires to maintain at the proposed confer ence the retrospective claims which since 1860 have formed the basis of its policy. The same paper gives a denial to a rumour that the Cabinet of Washington had demanded to be allowed to take part in the conference. Such a demand, it says, would be contrary to the Monroe doctrine. ILL-HEALTH OF GARIBALDI. FLORENCE, Nov. 24. Garibaldi having lately been indisposed, Pro fessors Zannetti and Ghenozzi left for Varignano to-day to attend him.

The Minister of Finance has no intention of pro posing a loan to meet the wants of the Italian treasury. _ FLORENCE. Nov. 24. The Italie announces that 900 Garibaldian prisoners will be consigned to-morrow at Orbitello by the Papal to the Italian authorities. The Nazione denies the report that the Minister of Finance has the intention of contracting a loan. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 23. The Northern Post of to-day publishes an article upon the Emperor Napoleon's speech on tho open ing of the French Chambers. The article says " Europe, and especially France, in a state of armed peace, is a condition of things much to be regretted. It is necessary to take measures for putting an end to this situation as speedily as pos sible. It would be desirable that France, con sidering her great influence in European politics, should give the example, and concentrate her atten tion in internal reforms. Without the fulfilment of this condition, no one could view as serious the promise of the Emperor Napoleon to extend those liberties which M. de Girardin fears on the con trary are to be curtailed." ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 24. An Imperial proclamation has been issued, ordering a conscription of 4 per cent. of the popu lation liable to military service. The conscription is to commence on the 15th of January, and end on the 15th of February. This measure is declared to have for object the ordinary completion of the strength of the army and navy.

THE HURRICANE IN THE WENT INDIEB—Our Southampton correspondent, writing last night, says : " Sermons have been preached in the churches and chapels here to-day, on the appalling calamity in the West Indies, which has desolated so many hearths in Southampton. The Mayor has received numerous communications, on* from the court at Windsor, relative to the means about to be adopted here to relieve the relatives of those lost on board the Rhone and Wye. It is believed that there are as many families in different parts of the country as there me in Southampton which will be sufferers by the sad event, and it is expected that at the public meeting to be held here to-morrow, it will be decided to solicit subscrip tions from the country at large, in order to form a general relief fund."

Pinard has privately informed several editors that he intends to be very severe on the press. This is a speedy commentary on the resolution ex pressed in the Imperial speec h to escort the " libe ral" measures of Jan. 19 by "energetic repression." The government lately created a fourth chamber of the Civil Tribunal of Marseilles. It may well be that this addition to the judicial strength of the law courts of the Phocean city was called for by public requirements, and the ensuing observations leave that question quite open. But an extra ordinary speech, addressed by the President of the Tribune to the puisne judges on the occasion of the opening of the new court, has provoked animad versions, to answer which must severely tax the ingenuity of those officials whose duty it is to draw up cummuitiquf.s. The speech is not very long, but it repeats three times the word " promotion, ' nine times the word " kindness," and twelve times the word "gratitude." The first magistrate of the court thinks it not indecent to dwell upon the heavy debt of gratitude owing to the executive power for having given junior judges increased chances of promotion. This is undignified enough, but worse follows. The Chief Justice proceeds to express a hope that the judicial gratitude he in vokes will not be sentimental merely, but will bring forth fruit at the next political elections. Marseilles, be it remembered, is at present repre sented by the eminent opposition deputies Berryer and Marie. The Chief Justice exhorts his subordinates not to allow their " gratitude " for " favours" to evaporate in vain words, but to show it forth by their " energetic suffrages;' an expression which clearly calls not only for their votes, but for the exercise of their utmost influence. The corrupting habits of the empire of 1852 must have taken deep root indeed when one of the highest judges in the third city of France can use such language as this on a solemn occasion, without being aware, apparently, that he was bringing the administration of justiceinto con tempt. We have often heard of prefects, sub prefects, and mayors promising roads, churches, schools, and fountains, to induce communes to vote for government candidates, and although such pro ceedings, when exposed, provoke blame from the opposition press, the extenuating circumstances may be pleaded that the parties resorting to them are " administrative" officers. But the proclama tion from the judicial bench that judges owe elec toral services return for promotion is a novelty. M. Hyrooix, whose nomination to the lucrative post of Treasurer Payer-General in the Jura has just been gazetted, tiled for the last sixteen years the responsible office of chief of the Emperor's household police. His removal gives rise to a great deal of backstairs talk, and there are ru mours of conspiracies which escaped his watchful ness. The Bourse was better than it has been all the week. Ratites rose 17e for account, closing at 68.70. WRATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) MONDAY, NOYZNIZI 25, I A.M. W. Ukase, lies i B. T. W. no ~.—.—..4.—.,,,, W. W. Ito 12 1. D. P.

Eight new members were elected. THE SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW. The Lords of her Majesty's Privy Council having granted their license for holding the Smithfield Club Cattle show at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, under certain re strictions in reference to the cattle plague, the council of the club have given notice to all persons who have made entries as to what those restrictions are, stating that they will be rigidly enforced. The preparations at the Agricul tural Hall are progressing very rapidly, and the hall itself will present a very different appearance from that which has been its wont at previous cattle shows. Immediately after the cattle show has terminated, or as soon as the stalls, &c., can be removed, the area will again be occupied for the Messrs. Sanger's equestrian entertain• ments, which will be this year upon such a scale of magnidoence as to completely throw into the shade all that has gone before. With the exception of the large central chandelier, all the other chandeliers and illu minations used on the occasion of the Belgian ball and other recent entertainments have been purchased of the Messrs. Deities by the Messrs. Sanger, and will remain, whilst the centre of the ball will be lighted by the six enormous circles of gas which were used at the equestrimi entertainments last Christmas instead of by the ordinary star lights usually employed at previous cattle shows. In addition to this a great deal of the in tended decoration. for the forthcoming equestrian enter tainments Trill be in their places prior to the cattle show, thus giving the hall a far more cheerful appearance than usual. By the decision of the council of the club, cattle and other stock intended for exhibition will have to be in theshow yard before ten o'clock on the night of Saturday, Dee. 7, and at that hour the gates will be closed. With regard to the implements, roots, seeds, tto., all articles for exhibition are required to be in the show yard before three o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday, the sth Dec., and for those in the arcade before three p.m. on the fol lowing day,. Friday, the 6th Dec. The judges will com mence judging for their swards on Monday, the Bth, at nine P.M. and at two p.m.. if the awards are completed, the public Will be admitted to the show at a charge of ss. each parson. On the following day the show will open to the general public, and continue open until the night of Friday, the 13th, when it will finally close. SPILSBT AND FLABBY RAILWAY.—This line is so far completed that the necessary notices have been given to the of Trade with regard to its official inspection.

THE EXECUTION OF THE CONDEMNED FENIANS. (nom OUR SPECIAL COI Public executions may or may not be neces sary, and xi) doubt for some morbid minds they have a curious attraction, or even fasci nation ; but there can be no question that they are a bitter punishment not only to the culprits who suffer, but to most, let us hope in deed to all, who are compelled by the na ture of their duties to be present at them. To see a fellow creature, however guilty, however de based, led out pinioned, trembling, agonised, shrinking, with the dread of that undefined, that undefinable future which is about to be forced upon him ; to watch with unwilling eyes, but with a gaze so fascinated that we cannot withdraw it though we would for the trifling gesture which is Ito terminate the life of a fellow creature, is terrible, is humiliating, is most agonising ; how agonising those only can tell who have had to undergo its torments. Like many other tortures, its very severity not unfreqnently for the moment dulls the sensibilities, and many go through the ordeal with an outward appearance of calm which almost con ceals the suffering that they are undergoing. But if so terrible to the spectators, what must be the agony of their last moments to those who are about to die I Upon their feelings we must not, dare not, speculate. So long as there are executions the public has • right to be informed, and will be informed, of the incidents by which they are accompanied, but they are incidents not pleasant to write about, and which it would be wicked to treat either lightly and carelessly, or to work up as the basis of a sensational story. Told in the plainest and simplest language, this is, as far as I witnessed it or am informed of it, the history of the last hours of the three men who died on Saturday. Ever since the time of their condemnation they were confident that they would be reprieved. They were never tepersuaded to recognise the enormity of their crime, u r t s, to the last—unless in their private communi cations with their confessors they said anything to the contrary—persisted in regarding themselves ' as political martyrs. This confidence in what they mistook for the rectitude of their conduct, and the certainty of their escape from death by the exercise of the royal prerogative of mercy—there seems no reason to suppose that they had any ex pectation that they would be rescued by their friends and partisans—in no way interfered with their attention to the counsels of their spiritual advisers—the Rev. Canon Cantwell, the Rev. Father Truck, and the Rev. Father Gadd. On Friday the Rev. Mr. Beating, • catholic priest from Ramsbottom, near Huddersfield, paid a visit to Allen, at the special request of his mother. He remained with Allen some time, and also bad inter views with both the other prisoners. He found them all in an extremely depressed condi tion, but Allen was even lower in mind than either of his companions. On Friday they went to bed about half-peat eleven o'clock, and passed a tolerably quiet night They were awakened at a quarter to five o'clock, and at half past five mass was celebrated by the three reverend gentlemen whose names I have mentioned, and the prisoners received the holy communion. At this time they expressed great resignation to their fate, but even then did not appear to have aban doned all hope of • reprieve. Soon after the con ' elusion of these religious services, Calcraft, the hangman, and his assistant were introduced suc cessively into the cells of each of the prisoners, and performed the operation of pinioning. They submitted to this process with calmness and firm ness, and while it was going on the clergymen ted to them the prayers of the church. Mean 7rie the last preparations had been made outside, an the hour at which they were to die was rapidly approaching. About 10 minutes before 8 o'clock the detachment of the 72nd Highlanders was marched into the prison yard and drawn up a short distance from the wooden stairs which led from the ground to the scaffold. Nine men ascended to the plat forms on eitber side of the gallows, and crouched down with their rifles at their hips. At first the soldiers who composed one of these parties assumed too nearly upright a position, and for a moment their heads were visible above the wall, but a word from one of the officers in command immediately caused them to lower themselves a little, and they were never again visible from without. About the same time the troops who occupied the railway viaduct showed themsehes towards the prison aide, and one or two men ascended by a temporary stair case to one of the loopholed turrets of the gaol wall. Each of these turrets had been pro vided with a similar platform, but only that towards the railway was occupied. Precisely at two minute before 8 o'clock the bell of the prison began to toll, and almost at the same moment the con victs made their appearance in the yard. The under-sheriff led the way, and was immediately followed by Canon CantwelL Allen was the first of the convicts to turn the corner of the gaol, and he was followed by Gould and Larkin. Each prisoner was attended by two turnkeys ; Father Truck accompanied Gould, and Father Gadd Larkin. As the little procession approached the foot of the stair leading to the gallows, the three priests reading in earnest tones the solemn service of the church of Rome, the scene was most impressive. The mist had then become so thick that I cannot speak with certainty as to the appearance of the prisoners. As far as it was possible to judge they all appeared deeply im pressed by their awful situation. Larkin, indeed, seemed quite prostrated. They were all very pale. Allen and Gould walked slowly, but without the asaietnce of the turnkeys ; Lar kin, however, had to be supported by a gaoler on either side. Each of the prisoners had a crucifix hung round his neck, and these they held tightly grasped in their hands while they repeated the responses, " Jesus, have mercy upon me;" " Jesus, receive my soul." It might be going too far to say that Allen and Gould were less earnest than Larkin, but certainly his voice was more distinctly audible than theirs. These two ascended the stairs which led to the scaffold without difficulty, but with somewhat faltering and apparently reluctant steps. Larkin's difficulty here was of course greater than on the level ground, and he required more assistance from his guides. All the three looked once or twice to the right or left as they crossed the prison yard and occasionally turned their glances to look for the last time towards the sky which the haze, now become a thick fog, ob scured from their gaze. When Allen reached the scaffold he took his place upon the right of the drop, that is, towards the river. Cal craft immediately drew the white cap over his face and adjusted the rope. Gould passed on to the scaffold with a firm step. On reaching the drop he shook hands with Allen and kissed him on the right cheek. He then left him and went to the other end of the drop,Larkin who had followed him taking his place in the centre. At first Larkin appeared to have recovered his firmness, but while the hangman was making the final arrangements his confidence deserted him, and he had to be held up by the warders. Immediately before the bolt was drawn he fainted, and as ho was then in a stooping portion the effect of the drop was not com plete, and his struggles were greater than those of his companions. Allen, indeed, did not struggle at all, and in the case of Gould the contortions of the body did not last long, and were, probably, en tirely involuntary. There is reason to fear that in the case of Larkin that was not altogether their character, and that more than one or indeed two minutes elapsed before he expired. There was no expression of feeling from the crowd when the drop fell and the men disappeared below the black drapery, only two white caps re maining in sight. Indeed, at this time the fog was so thick that only those immediately under or opposite the scaffold could see what was going on ; and the crowd had no idea of the exact moment at which the execution took place. After hanging the usual time the bodies were cut down, and were examined by a surgeon, who certified that the men were dead. In the course of the afternoon they were buried within the precinct, of the gaol, the clothes of the deceased having been removed, in order that they might be sent to their friends. Before the operation of cutting down was performed the crowd had begun to disperse, and in a few minutes from that time the police send special constables were moving off the ground, and men were engaged in removing the barriers. Although the crowd which had attempted to witness the execution rapidly melted away, and there was during the evening no ominous collec tion of individuals nor any unusual movement of the population, some apprehensions were enter tained in the course of the night lest an attempt should be made to carry out the threats of. Fenian 'partisans , and to avenge the deaths of the convicts. Special measures had been adopted, both by the authorities and by the inhabitants, to thwart and punish any such endeavours. The warehouses were, in most instances, occupied by some of the clerks or workmen who are employed in them ; the police had been cautioned to exercise unusual vigilance during the night, and exceptional measures had been adopted by the de tective department, under the direction of Super intendent Maybury, to obtain information of any contemplated outrages. As it turned out, there was no opportunity of testfng'the efficacy of any of these precautions. Throughout the night the most perfect order prevailed in both Manchester and Salford, and soon after midnight the streets were almost entirely deserted. The fog, which had shrouded the proceedings on the scaffold, increased in density during the morning, and ultimately acquired the rich pea-soup colour for which Man chester fogs are even more distinguished than are those of the metropolis. In the course of the after noon the air cleared, and the night, although bit terly cold, was fine. EXTRAORDINARY DEMONSTRATION IN THE METROPOLIS. The feelings with which the execution of Allen, Gould, and Larkin is regarded by, the Irish labouring population of London and by Mr. James Finlen and his Clerkenwell friends, were manifested yesterday in a very novel and striking manner. It had been announced that in the event of the three ill-fated men being banged, a " solemn funeral promotion in honour of their memory " would be organised on Clerkenwell-green, and would after wards proceed through the principal streets of the West end to Hyde-park. Accordingly, at eleven o'clock yester day morning several thousand persons, undeterred by the prevailing fog, assembled at the appointed place for the pur pose of taking part in the procemion, and listening afterwards to Mr. Finlen's promised "funeral oration." Mr. Pinion, surrounded by • few of his friends, took up • position at the fountain in the centre of the green, and addressed the crowd, remarking that the murkiness of the atmosphere was • fitting accompaniment to the solemn scene which was then being enacted. A melancholy halo, be said, surrounded the memories of the men who had been "murdered" on the previous day, and he felt sure that aspi rations emanated from the hearts of those present for the success of the cause for which those men had been " cruci fied." As there was a difference of opinion as to whether the procession should take place in the morning or in the after. noon, he thought it beet to submit the matter to the consi deration of the meeting. Since thousands of good catho lic. and true Irishmen were then engaged in the service s of their church and in offering up prayers for the repose of the " martyred men," he considered that though • morning procession would be a real success, yet one held in the afternoon would be still more imposing. He, how ever, left it to the meeting to adopt its own course. Mr. Callaghan next addressed the meeting, and having described the executed Fenian. as men who had been sa crificed for the cause of liberty, an enthusiastic Irishman among the crowd promptly shouted for " three cheers for Ireland and freedom." An Irish tailor of the name of Campbell said that the bones of Allen, Gould, and Laskin were now fleshless within the prison walls at Manchester, but their mule looked down from heaven upon that meeting. There were not 100 men then present who regarded them as murderers, and their names would be committed to the memory of every honest man for generations yet to come. Irishmen were too noble, too manly, and too chivalrous to be murderers. It having then been determined by a show of hands that the procession should be at once formed, the crowd arranged themselves for the marsh, and proceeded as far as Farringdon-road, where, either by accident or design, they divided into two parts. The larger stream of prooessionists, led by Mr. Finlen, and accompanied by a band playing the "Deed March in Saul," carried • black flag with the in scription " Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn." Their route lay through Meet-street, Strand, Pall-mall, St. James's-street, Piccadilly, to Hyde. perk. At various points on the march they were joined by fresh contingents, principally composed of Irishmen of the labouring class, some of whom had their hats draped with craps bands. The smaller section made their way to Hyde-park through Holborn and Oxford-street. No interference was offered by the polies to the progress of either party, and the only instance in which their services were brought into requisition was when, near the Carlton Club, two English roughs, having assailed and " bon netted " an Irishman who wore crape, a vigorous sally was made by •hunt • dozen policemen, who seemed to have been placed there in reserve, and who promptly bore off the delinquents. Many windows were thrown open as the promotion passed, and persons with astonished looks made their appearance at them. The streets were crowded with spectators, including a goodly number of Irishmen, who, although not taking part in the proceedings, exhibited a lively interest in them. The number of processionista was estimated at 5,000, but that number was at least quad rupled when they arrived in the park. The body that marched by Holborn was the first to arrive in Hyde. park, and pending the arrival of Mr. Finlen and his followers • meeting was constituted with Mr. Bligh in the chair. That gentleman, in the course of an indignant speech. trusted that the " great blunder and indiscriminate cruelty of a tyrannie government" would unite Englishmen, Irishmen, and Scotohmen. They were there to bewail the death of three—(a voice, " murderers") —honest patriots of • country which had been entirely rained by oppression and warder. Irishmen had fought our battles, and helped to make this nation great, and yet we had let them starve in the etrests and under the hedges. " These poor men who had been murdered yesterday" had loved their country too well. (A voice in the crowd here shouted, "Served them right," whereupon an indignant Irishman yelled, " Shove a brick into that fellow's mouth.") He would like to see • rope tied round the neck of every man who held that opinion, and have him hanged upon • tree. (This remark evoked enthusiastic cheers.) The dead men had released patriots who had gone to America and joined their brother Irish patriots. Woe to the men who have brought disgrace on this nation ! He would not like to stand in the shoes of Mr. G•thorue Hardy. (Hisses.) He would not have the blood of these men on his head for all the wealth of England ; it was a crime for which the guilty man ought to be brought to condign punishment. For years a warrant bad been out against his (the speaker's) person, but that would not prevent his speaking boldly on the present oc casion. He had never been in prison, but the fear of living on bread and water would not deter him from telling the truth. The speechmaking was here suspended until the arrival of Mr. Finlen's procession. When that gentleman came upon the ground there was a general rush to the spot whereon he took his stand. One of his immediate supporters requested the listeners to doff their hats and preserve strict silence. Mr. Finlen then commenced his " funeral oration." He said the lives of Irishmen bad been sacrificed ou the pee- 'ions day in Manchester because they thought they were subserving the interests of a glorious and • just cause, and they had died nut as criminals, but as harms. They were . followed to their graves with the sympathies of all men with hearts to feel end with intellect enough to appreciate the right, the true, and the beautiful. The graves of those men were within the precincts of • prison, and it was not possible for the people to attend their funeral. Had their funeral been publicly held in Man. chester those whom he addressed could not have attended, and to-day they did the next best thing, namely, attending that solemn funeral procession, which was their recogni tion of the worth of the poor men yesterday sacrificed, and likewise the integrity of their cause as patriots. (Cheers.) That blood of theirs which bad been wantonly and unnecessarily shed went to cement and consolidate the sympathies and hearts of Englishmen, Irishmen, and Scotchmen in one holy invincible bond, dedicated to the regeneration of these islands, afflicted by clam despotism, and desecrated by class slavery. (Cheers.) Should that , blood bring about such an issue he thought the memory of Allen, Gould, sad Larkin would be enthroned for ever in the hearts of the people, and they would be regarded in the future as the deliverers of the past were regarded at the present moment. Th e dead men had left behind them mothers, wives, sis ters, and brothers to weep in melancholy over their fate. They (the meeting), whilst recognising that fact, must not forget that the poor unfortunate policeman, Sergeant Brett, was also taken from the bosom of hie family, end they oommiserated that family as earnestly and as sin cerely as they did those of the murdered men. They were cosmopolitan in their sympathise. They were not secta rians—they were humanitarians. A philosopher of old laid down that an indignity to the meanest citizen was an indignity perpetrated upon society at large. It was in the largest spirit they had undertaken this vindication, and as they had carried it so far, Id them carry it an morally, grandly, constitutionally, keep ing within the proscribed and recognised paths of our constitution, determined to be freemen, to be elevated to that position which ought to be the one held by the true and trusty portion of that civilised community which guaranteed the power, wealth, and integrity of the State. If Englishmen, Scotchmen, and Irishmen united, great good would result from their recent efforts. He hoped the families of these poor men would be cherished by people who could sympathize with misfortune, and he prayed a benediction upon the counsel who had striven for the condemned men. Let them show they were not as callous as the aristocracy to the demands of humanity and of justice. " May the souls of the ill-fated men rest in peace." (Here a general response of " Amen " fol lowed.) He thanked them present for their orderly conduct, and for their triumph over prejudice and fear by assembling on • spot upon which had been laid the foundation of a success culminating in the triumph of reformers over the tortes, who bad stood heartlessly and relentlessly against the poor men whose memory they had met to honour on that occa sion. (Great cheering.) Mr. Pinion having concluded, Mr. Wade called upon the esthetics present to join with him in offering the " De Profundis" for the souls of Allen, Gould, and Larkin. The request was solemnly complied with, and the gathering then broke up in an orderly manner. During the delivery of Mr. Finlen's " oration" two other meetings were Being held close at hand. At one of them the crowd knelt while the " De Profundis" was being recited, and the scene was of the most edema and imposing nature. Resolutions were also peened character ising the execution of Allen, Gould, and Leckie es • judicial murder, and tendering to the Dowager Marchioness of Queensberry thanks for her " Christian, humane letter," giving end promising assistance to the families of the men. Last night a public meeting, attended by about 2,000 persona, wee held on Clerkenwell-green, to per a vote of condolence to the famflies of the three Fenian' executed onSaturday at Manchester. Mr. T. Wade, oc cupied the chair. The chairman having briefly opened the meeting, Mr. M'Sweeny moved—" That this meeting of London working men desire to offer their condolence to, and express their eymathy with, the bereaved families of the three men executed by the tory government on Satur day last at Manchester, and express their regret and in dignation at seeing the political scaffold again reared in this country." Mr. Owen seconded the resolution, which was supported by Mr. Bligh, and carried unanimously. Mr. Fialen, having been loudly called for by the meeting, then came forward, and was received with great cheering. He congratulated the meeting on the great and significant spectacle that had been seen in London that day, and upon the orderly way in which the proceedings had been conducted. He called it significant, because such a large mass of people bad been collected together at a few hours' notice, without one penny having been spent in adver tising or printing bills. Mr. Campbell, Mr. Thomas, and others having addressed the meeting, the proceedings con cluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman, and three groans for the government. PRECAUTIONS AGAINST FENIANISSI r.ouso WIND" Sols.—Colonel Bloody, chief constable of Berkshire, has issued elitism*. to the county constabulary doing duty in the villages and rural districts on the south side of the Thames, round the royal borough of Windsor. A supply of Oolt'a revolvers has also been provided, and these in case of any sudden emergency can be immediately issued to the men. As an additions] precaution, some of the Berkshire constabulary have been doing duty in Windsor for the last week, thus supplementing the ordinary form of the borough, the new chief superintendent of which, Mr. J. M. Davis, enters upon his duties to-day (Monday). Henry Jones, a decent-lookinc man in a semi military uniform, who described himself as a noncommis sioned officer in the Fenian armywho had come to Liverpool for orders, was committed for trial by the local msgi•trstes on Saturday, for stealing a coat belonging to the landlord of a public•house where Jones had lodged for the night. The Fenian convict O'Donovan Rosso., who was for a long time the most unmanageable prisoner known to the convict prison authorities, has lately become one of the most docile of his class. A considerate treat:Dent has worked his reformation so far. THE DISTURBANCES AT BIRMINGHAM. BIRMINGHAM, SUNDAY. In the streets inhabited chiefly by the Irish crowds re assembled to-night, but no real disturbance occurred. As • late hour last night a disturbance took place near St. Mary's Church. Several persons were seriously injured there, and in other localities. So wide is the district over which these rioters spread themselves, that it Ia difficult to ascertain their movements. RUTLANDSHIRE ELICTION.—Tho election of a knight of the shire for Rutlandshire, to supply the va cancy occasioned in the representation of the county by the elevation of the Hon. O. IL Heathcote to the peerage, in consequence of the death of his father. Lord Avehuid, took place at Oakhtun, on Saturday, in the venerable Castle, a building which, according to hod tradition, is some 800 years old. The high sherd (Mr. 1".. N. Conant) presided as returning o ffi cer. Mr. Fludger proposed the only candidate, Mr. G. H. Finch, of liurley-00-the hill,• Mr. Wingfield seconded the nomination; and no o th er ouididate being proposed, the Hi. lt Sheritt declared Mr. Finch duly elected. The hon. gentleman was unable to be present to express his acknowledgment*, being confined to his bed by a severe accident which he sustained on Wed nesday when out with Sir John Trollopes hounds. Bo severe was this accident, Mr. Finch baring been thrown upon his head, that it was date tful at tint whether he WAS not killed. After about half an hour, however, be rallied sufficiently to be removed home ; and as it is now hoped that he has sustained no organic injury, it is antici pated that a few days' repose will enable him to tilts Ida seat in the house. In the absence of his son, Mr. G. Finch, sen., addressed the electors. The hoe. gentletnin said he thanked the county utost sincerely and gratefully for electing his son as one of its representatives. His son *mild, he believed, attend to his duties in parliament in every possible way, so as to promote the interests of the county and of the country at large. He had declared his intention to support the government of Lord Dethy, and in doing so he would best consult the interest, of the Bri tish empire. A vote of thanks to the high sheriff closed the pproceedings. ConruLsoktY EDUCATION. —The question, "Ought the State to compel the Education of our Children r was debated before a numerous, intelligent, and highly respect able auditory on Saturday evening last, in the Lecture-hall of the Shaftesbury Working•men's Club, Princel.road, Notting-hill ; Mr. P.
