One thousand eight hundred insurgents have surrendered to General Baidrick, who refused to pardon those of them who had committed assassi nations in the town of Valls. The insurgents caused a train on the Andalusian Railway, which was conveying soldiers, to go off the line, which resulted in three soldiers and a cap tain being killed, and a large number of the men being wounded. This morning the authorities proceeded to dis arm the Republican Volunteers at Saragossa, Val ladolid, and Grenada. At the latter places the volunteers resisted, and after a struggle succeeded in escaping to the open country with their arms. This morning a portion of the Volunteers of Li berty at Sarragossa resisted the order for their dis armament, and fired upon the troops. A serious engagement, which terminated in the prompt re pression of the revolt. Tranquillity is completely restored. The Government and the Regent have decided to bring before tribunals all those members of pro vincial or municipal councils who have either taken part in, or favoured the, Republican movement. A telegram from Cuba, dated to-day, states that the condition of affairs in the island has greatly improved for the Government. _ , • Ihe insurgents have been beaten and dispersed and a large number have surrendered to the autho- rities. FRANCE. PARIS, OCt. 9. The Constitutionnel of this morning says :—" The Government will remain faithful to the spirit of the Emperor's message and the Senatus Consultum, regarding but lightly certain eventualities held out as a threat by the Revolutionary party. " The Government feels convinced that all mis understandings will be removed by its acts, and hopes that the good sense of the nation will appre ciate at its true value the provocative language of the Revolutionary journals." The Official Journal, published this morning, announces that disturbances of a serious character have taken place at St. Aubin, Avegron, in conse quence of a strike among the miners employed by the Compagnie d'Orleans. The men on strike attempted to drown the chief engineer of the company, and wounded the Sub- Prefect and his deputy. The general stores and warehouses of the company were also burnt at the same time. Yesterday morning an actual riot occurred, when the troops were attacked : they fired upon their assailants, killing ten and wounding several more of the rioters. ROUEN, Oct. 9.

The prisoner told him to go out of the place or ho would knock his head off, saying he had no right there, and then struck him with a boot, inflicting two wounds, which he was compelled to go to the Middlesex Hospital to have dressed. Eliza Reed said she had lived with Pratter some years, and had left him about two months, he having frequently ill-used her; and since then she had lived with the pri soner, who treated her very kindly.

ADVICE GRA.TIS.—Among the numerous applicants for advice and assistance was a foreign outfitter, who said that one of his countrymen, a sailor, had contracted a debt of .£8 for clothes and monoy advanced, and would not pay him although he had received his wages. Mr. Paget—Sue him in the County Court. Applicant—Ho is going to sea. Mr. Paget-1 cannot help that. If people will give credit to seamon they must have recourse to the same remedies as with ordinary creditors. Applietuat—Can't you grant me a warrant to apprehend him? If you don't ho will be away tc-day. Mr. Paget—No. A respectable woman next asked for advice, and said that she had given some bad lodgers notice to quit, and had levied an execution on their goods and chattels for a month's rent, but they would not leave. Mr. Paget looked at the notice and said it was useless. The applicant said she would double the rent if the par ties did not leave. Mr. Paget said that was giving permission to her lodgers to stay. He advised the applicant to repeat the notice to quit, and say nothing about doubling the rent. If the refractory lodgers did not leave at the date named in the notice, she could come before him or any other magistrate presiding in that court and ask for an order to turn them out.

THE LEIGH HUNT MEMORIAL.—A meeting of the committee of this fund was held last evening at 25, Nor folk-street, Strand, W.C. Mr. Charles L. Gruneisen, F.R.G.S., presided, and there were present Messrs. William Barry, J. W. Dalby, J. Durham, A.R.A., Charles Kent, S. R. Townshend Mayer, F.R.S.L., and Edmund Oilier. Mr. Walter Leigh Hunt represented the family. Letters of apology for non-attendance were received from Mr. S. C. Hall, F.S.A., and Mr. Bryan Waller Procter (Barry Cornwall). A letter was read from Lord Houghton, consenting to uncover the memorial at Mensal-green on the 19th inst. It was resolved that the ceremony should take place at one o'clock, and that the rendezvous should be at the cemetery chapel at 12.30. It was also decided that tickets of admission should be issued gratuitously next Thursday. With a vote of thanks to the chair the meeting separated. THE STATUE OF LAMARTINE.—The sculptor, Adam Solomon, has completed his model of the statue of Lamartine, which is to be erected in the Place de l'ilotel de Ville in Paris, and it is very highly spoken of by those who have seen it. The figure of the poet is draped in a mantle and scarf, so as to correct the sharp lines of our modern costume. At the four corners of the pedestal there will be four figures, representing Poetry, History, Eloquence, and Commerce. One of the most noticeable points in American papers is the amount of dry humour they contain. Often in discussing the most serious questions the writer is tempted to joke, and we have actually seen religious papers in discussing religion give way to the impulse. How is it, then, the English ask, that there are no comic papers published in the country ? If there aro not, there are doubtless some that approach uncommonly near to them ; but the fact is, there is a comic vein in nearly all, marked in the New Fort• Sun, the drollery of which is occasionally irresistible. and the wit sometimes sparkling. No number of the Tribune can be taken up without seeing something quaint and amusing in the little leaders which usher in its more elaborately argued out papers. For instance, this is the way it opens a subject in its issue of Sept. 22 :—" A dry old hmnourist once gave notice that he would give his farm to any perfectly contented person who should apply for it. Several called on him, one after the other, and made the requisite profession, but wore brought up all standing by his instant inquiry—' Well, if you are per fectly contented, what do you want of my farm?'" THE BISHOP OP- OXFORD ON MIDDLE CLASS EDUCATION. The Bishop of Oxford addressed a meeting on middle chtss education, at the Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool. He spoko in favour of St. Nicholas's College, Sussex, and said that it combined English independence of character with Church oi England raverence. They wanted to see boys not only clever and well-taught, but they must add the moral training of the heart and the spiritual training of the soul in order to make them stand up for what they believed to be right. He thought that character had taken root in the schools of St. Nicholas's College. • THE BISHOP OF GLOUCESTER OF CHURCH MATTERS. A conference of the clergy and laity of Gloucester and Bristol was held on Friday. Besides the leading divines of the diocese, there were also present Sir G. Ferguson, Sir George Jenkinson, Mr. S. S. Marling, M.P., and Mr. S. S. Dickenson, M.P. The Bishop of Gloucester dwelt earnestly upon the importance of more intimate union be tween the clergy and the laity, admitting that the clergy had somewhat autocratically held aloof, but urging, on the other hand, that the laity had taken little interest in Church matters. Changes must be introduced in several portions of our Church system. First, our Episco pate, if episcopacy is to be a reality, must bo increased as each opportunity presented itself. They had at that moment two unwieldy sees prac tically vacant, and earnestly petitioning that the case should be promptly dealt with. With such an opportu nity before them, were they to miss it, and because Corn wall might not have a convenient church for a cathedral, or Winchester might enjoy a sort of historical position, or because the question of seats in the House of Lords might be diffic , It handle, wore they to acquiesce in delusive postponements? Such knots, if they could not be untied, must be cut. To let slip such providential opportunities as the present was simply not to give the Church fair play, and tacitly to impede the proper development of her system. Secondly, he believed all alike felt that reforms were needed in our cathedral establishments; that more work should be done for the money received; that the cathedral should be made more and more the mother church of the diocese ; that the officers should be resident, and that the whole working and relation should be not collegiate, but diocesan. Lastly, there was a special grievance affecting our whole parochial system, namely this, that the law regarded far too jealously the beneficial interest of the clergyman, and with far too much indifference the plain conditions of the trust. The freehold of the clergyman was only a condi tional freehold; he held his endowment on trust, and op condition that he discharged faithfully weighty duties, these duties being defined in the terms of his institution, and by the tenor of his ordination vows. When thew engagements were not faithfully performed, there was a breach of trust, and of this the law ought to take effectua) cognisance. Half of the grievance and abuse of our present system might be referred to the existing state of the law. It was not endowment that was in fault ; but the manner in which the beneficial interest in those endowments was guarded, and the rigid way in which it was maintained after the trusts on whicn the endowments were held had been left plainly unfulfilled. How this was to be remedied it might be very hard to define ; but this he would presume to say, that no measure of ecclesiastical discipline ought to receive the sanction of the Legislature next year that at least does not provide a method for promptly dealing with cases of disregard of what had been openly promised, and of neglect of solemnly specified duties. Papers were then read on divers branches of Church reform. The Rev. Canon Powell advocated a more frequent celebration of the Holy Communion. Lord Redesdale agreed that the extension of the episcopate was desirable, and argued that the bishops should have more direct power. They should also be appointed through advice given to the Crown rather than that which is now used—for instance that there should be three persons nominated at the combined request of the laity and clergy of each diocese, and that one of them should be appointed by the Crown. He also spoke of the great difficulty which existed of depriving the • beneficed clergy of their livings, even when they were guilty of a breach of trust, and he urged that greater facility should be afforded to meet these cases.—A hope was expressed that the rural deans, in their respective deaneries, would further discuss the matter of Church organisation. The body of the murdered man Boyd was interred on Thursday morning at Colney Hatch Cemetery. A little boy named M'Cormack, about five years of age, living with his parents in Newgate Market, was on Friday burnt to death, through his clothes igniting whilst standing near the lire. An elderly lady, of good position, left home on Tuesday last to go on an errand to Kew, and has not since been heard of. It is known that she left the Waterloo read station. A description of the missing lady has been issued. On Thursday the body of Mr. William Steven son, son of Mr. J. Stevenson, iroufounder, &c., of Preston, was found on the sands at Lytham. It is suspected that h• had committed suicide, and that some love affair with which he had been mixed up may have contributed to what has taken place. The Rev. Mr. Dombrain applied to the Norwich Commissioners on Friday for permission to call witnesses to show that he was not intoxicated on the election day as alleged. The Commissioners declined to accede to the application, but expressed an opinion that the imputation was groundless. At the Birkenhead revision objection was taken to a voter that he was in receipt of parish relief. The Liberal agent argued that the man was simply working for the guardians, that ho received remuneration only for the work he r orfoinied— breakipg stones, or what not. The barrister sustained the claim. On Thursday afternoon a fatal accident occurred at the Swaithe Main Colliery, near Barnsley, by which a packer, named Joseph Peckett, residing at Worsbrodale, war shockingly mutilated. The poor fellow was at work when a fall of stone Lock place from the roof, and, in addition to fracturing his back, mutilated his head in a shockingmanner. Letters are appearing in the Dublin papers in re ference to the anticipated "Fenian procession" on Sunday next. It is spoken of as a " projected display of the strength of the Fenian organization," to " intimidate the loyal inha bitants and the Government," and a deputation to the in spectors-in-chief of the city police to protest against it is suggested. The number of lunatics in the West Riding has for some years past been increasing at the rate of 200 a year, and, in order to provide the requisite accommodation, a com modious asylum is now being erected at Wadsloy, near Sheffield. The magistrates have determined to make some considerable additions to the asylum at Wakefield, and, at a special sessions, £3,950 was granted for that purpose. The " Reciprocity Association" has published its programme. Its main object is to "establish free trade upon a real and fair basis of reciprocity." The present stagna tion of trade, the unremunerative employment of capital, and the sufferings of the poor arise, it is affirmed, to a consider able extent, from the restriction or exclusion of British pro ducts from foreign markets through oppressive tariffs. An experiment is about to be tried at Bradford, in the way of providing a substitute for the public-house. It is proposed to erect a large building, in which all sorts of amusements will be provided, together with library and reading room. No intoxicating drinks rill be allowed on the premises. The capital required is £l,OOO. £BOO of this sum have been taken up by working men themselves. — Builder. A case of gross inhumanity came before the magistrates at Ashton-under-Lyne on Thursday. A man named Duckworth, employed at a neighbouring colliery, was charged with brutally assaulting a little boy six years old. The boy was playing with some companions, when Duckworth caught hold of him and put him on some hot cinders. Tho boy was severely burned, notwithstand ing which, the magistrates only inflicted a fine of 10s. and costs. The Emperor Napoleon is said to be greatly con cerned at the impression that has been produced in France by the decree adjourning the Convocation of the French Parliament. Ire has hitherto not "paid much attention to the various journals regularly sent to him, but since the promulgation of the Senatus-Consulturn, ho per• uses them with unflagging interest. Ire pays par. ticular attention to the provincial press, because hi! partisans aro chiefly to bo found iu the departments. IN learns by this inspection that Liberalism now pervades the most loyal provincial papers. THE CONDEMNED CONVICT AT DEVONPOIIT. Taylor, the murderer of Corporal Skullin, at Devonport will, in all probability, be executed on Monday morning next at eight o'clock. The unfortunate man is apparent]) prepared to meet his doom with firmness. He is mes' attentive to his religious adviser, and appears to be very penitent for the crime which he has committed, and algc to bo very quiet in his mind. There is not the slight& chance of a reprieve, nor are any efforts being made tc obtain one, as it is considered necessary for the efficioni discipline of the army that in all such cases the sentence a death should not be interfered with. The execution will in accordance with the new Act, be strictly private, th( only persons besides officials admitted being the represen tatives of the press.

PRICE OF GOLD. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par. and the short exchange on London is 25f. 1.5.1. per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 lis.loid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above pries is slightly dearer in Wittig than in London. i_ _ The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight was 1071 per cent. on the 20th inst. At this rate there would be a lose on the transmission of gold from the United tatcs. It is computed that by the abolition of the fac tory or ten-hours' system, in Chatham Dockyard, some £3OO a week less will be paid in wages, while the amount of superannuation to which the work men will be entitled will be materially reduced.
