Those who have for some time past been looking forward to the return of the Emperor NAPOLEON from Biarritz scarcely anticipated the confused cir cumstances and stormy events which would greet him on his arrival. After all the doubts and un certainties that have prevailed on the subject, it is now certain that French troops are leaving for Italy. This, indeed, the most experienced were pre pared for, but it is still to be seen if their arrival at their destination will lead to active hostilities or not. It is possible, and greatly to be desired, that some middle course may be pursued, and that a decided rupture may not take place between France and Italy. Such a result is greatly to be deplored, and one cannot help feeling disappointed that Italy should not have been left quiescent, for some time at least, after the decided advantages that had been her portion in the German war of last year. Discretion was never a virtue of GARIBALDI'S, and his friends and supporters seem to wish to outvie him in hasty, ill-concerted measures. The worat of it is that those Italians who did not take any active interest in the beginning of this affair, or indeed might have been against it when it was confined to their own country, will not look at all pleasant upon the appearance of foreign troops to settle their affairs for them. The departure of the French troops from Rome was considered so great a step in advance, and was hailed by the enthusiastic and devoted as so promising a sign of progress, that it is idle to think that their return will cause any feelings but those of dissatisfaction in some quarters, and indignation in others. The Emperor NAPOLEON may urge on his behalf that good faith has not been kept with him, and so on, but we in this country \ o - survey things from a more dispassionate point of view than those on the spot, and rersonaliy and politically inte rested, can possibly do, cannot fail to perceive the sad and serious part of the affair, and lament the tone that fortune has taken. It would really seem as if it was an impossibility for us to have the nations of the Continent in a settled state, and those prophets who went about declaring that war was superseded, and that universal peace would now reign, may well bide their diminished heads just now, for no sooner does one nation seem to have come to an amicable arrange ment than fresh disturbances start up, and all Europe is again disturbed and perplexed. War with France and Prussia seemed all but imminent a month or so back, but it seems that we are to have the scene of action changed, and that the entente cordiale between France and Italy is to be dis turbed. Perhaps no one can be more disappointed at this than the Emperor NAPOLEON himself. It has been his aim and object for many years that Italy should be free, and it has been his pride and pleasure to aid in the development of the great work of Italian regeneration. It cannot, then, be with other feelings than those of mortification that he mixes himself up in this new dispute, and we feel assured that he would willingly consent to any com promise that may suggest itself. The French papers appear puzzled how to de scribe the state of affairs, and various accounts are given of the position in which their Government is placed. The Pattie of last evening contains an article, which makes out that French interven tion in Rome is by no means to bo looked upqp as an act of aggression, because Franco has not declared war against Italy, but against revolution. "If Italy, unable to stay the invaders, does not appeal to France, Franco must go and defend her signa ture." The final reply of the Italian Government had arrived yesterday, and seemed to arrest, in some measure, the most decided movements being taken, but, in all probability, by to-morrow we shall have the result of these deliberations, and the effects produced by them. The intelligence that Italy is again the scence of a fierce struggle, and that the horrors of civil war hays been further increased and still more complicated by the inter vention of foreign troops, resisted by both sides of the disputants, will give rite to deep regret among the other nations of Europe, and more especially in England, which has long been a well-wisher to Italy, and looked forward with confident assurance to the development of her prosperity if possessed of freedom, and enabled to enjoy that blessing in peace and free from embarrassing disputes. Much time has not elapsed since the murder of poor APDONNELL iu Bloomsbury, when the same locality is startled by thereport of another attempted assassination. Every unusual crime or alarming ocearrence is, of course, in these days, put down at once to Fenianisin ; certainly the brotherhood have done something to deserve their evil reputa- It is, however, uncertain whether or no they are impiie..ted in this last ou'rage, the pol:ce being of opinion that it is connected with a gang of bur glars. The sufferer is a police constable named S..II;.NDEn3, Ivlio was on duty in Bucton creEcent on Saturday night. It seems from his own account that on first going on duty he noticed a suspicious -looking man loitering about the North -crescent Mews. About two o'clock in tho morning he saw him still loitering there, and asked him what he was doing. To this the suan returned no answer, but drawing a pistol he fired and wounded him seriously, following up his at zck by boating him on the head until he was in.;en sible. The poor man was found lying sense Jess in the street by some officers who were g )ing their usual rounds, so that the ruffian escaped, but as active pursuit was immediately r. lade tion. ME SUN, LONDON. INIO_NOAY EVLNLNG, OCTOBER, 21, 1867. it is to be hoped that before long he will be secured. SAUNDERS'S wounds are dangerous, but hopes are entertained of his recovery. The police, as we have said, suppose that the man was connected with a gang of burglars, who were ope rating on some house in the neighbourhood, and that he, fearing discovery and . apprehension, shut SAusi)Ens in order to•etfect his escape. There al, some features in the case, however, which are little singular. It was not a very wise . ilo.;;;.:ding if he were playing the part of scout to remain in one particular spot so long, since he was certain to attract the notice of any passing constable. Also he need not have proceeded to such violent extre mities immediately on being questioned, and the fact of his carrying loaded firearms showed that the attack was not the effect of a momentary alarm, but that it was in a measure pre-determined. As we have said, the popular explanation is of course Fenianism, but this may prove inaccurate. At any rate, whoever the offender may be, it is to be hoped that the search for him may be prosecuted rigorously and unremittingly until it is successful, since the recurrence of such crimes in the thorough fares of London speaks very ill for the safety of life and property under present arrangements. Meanwhile the Feuians have been bestirring them selves at Chester. It will be remembered that some months ago they formed a plan for seizing the Castle and carrying off the arms, but it was happily frus• trated before any mischief was done. Since the Manchester attack the city authorities have been well on their guard in protecting the Castle, and consequently the Hibernian heroes have been forced to try their prowess in another direction. An ex plosion was heard on the roof of the police station late on Friday night, and it was discovered that a bottle containing some substance resembling phos phorus had been thrown on the roof, which of course took fire, and was with difficulty extin guished. Strict precautions were taken, and a care ful watch was kept. Later• on a sentinel at the back of the Castle observed a group of men in the field below, who made off, however, upon an alarm being given to the garrison. It is therefore thought, with some show of reason, that the attack on the police station was made for the purpose of diverting the attention, of the authorities to that part of the town, with the view of making an attempt on the Castle should some of the force stationed there be withdrawn into the city. Special constables have since been sworn in and vigorous precautions taken. It was very fortunate that the whole affair wag so soon detected, so that no real injury was done ; bu it proves that in these suspected quarters the loca' authorities cannot be too much on the qui vice until the bubble of Fenianism has finally exploded. The intelligence which reaches from Bombay is chiefly interesting as concerning the Abyssinian expedition. It is encouraging to find that the general belief of the members of the expedition is that everything has been well arranged, and that they are starting full of confidence and satisfaction. So popular, indeed, is the expedition in India, possibly as a relief from the monotony of Anglo Indian existence, that the Bengal and Madras troops are much dissatisfied, because they are not to take part in it. The date of the news from Bom bay is September 29, and the advance guard, con sisting of 1,400 troops, and 1,000 horses and mules, was to sail on the sth of October, and was to be fol lowed a month later by the rest of the expeditionary force. General ISIAPIER having protested against a division of the expedition having been sent from Bengal, only one mountain train, one mortar battery, the 10th and 12th Regiments of Bengal Cavalry, and the 23d Native Infantry, have been supplied by that Presidency. The Bombay Government has applied for free l as, , ages home by the Indian transports for the wives of oflicers pro ceeding to Abyssinia. A private letter received from an officer who accompanied the advance party, and who has considerable experience of such expeditions, declares that the force is everything that can be required, and. could, if necessary, march across Africa and defy all corners. THEODORE, ho adds, had little notion what ho was bringing on himself. It is to be hoped the lesson which we have to teach him will serve to impress a good many other semi-cvilised dignitaries who have, at different times, mistaken our national dislike to unnecessary war for timidity or incapacity. We possess a great advantage in being able to transmit acclimatised troops from India, a fact which did not appear.to enter into King THEODORE'S calculations. Possibly his misconduct may lead to beneficial results, since it may, in the end, break the yoke off his people, and, perhaps, open up his dominions to the civilising influences of commerce. We cannot as yet tell of what the country is ca pable, so that those persons who declare that we can have nothing to gain in the present expedition are short-sighted and hasty. Very certainly THEODORE is not the man to develop° the resources of a country, and the energies and the wealth of his people have been hitherto exhausted in war. We shall at any rate learn a good deal about the nation and its inhabitants, and it will be hard if sooner or later we cannot turn that information to profitable account. Amid the distracting incidents that are constantly recurring in the continental nations just now it is quite a relief to turn to a country that seemed last year to come to nothing but grief, and was in fact orercast by misfortune. Austria appears to realise the wonders of olden time, and if the illustration of the phoenix were permitted it might appropriately be applied to her. At any rate it is satisfactory and encouraging to find this great country should have been rescued from the sad fate pronounced against it by some, and that FRANCIS JOSEPH has had the wisdom and the magnanimity to look in the right direction, and to trust to a liberal policy for his support and rehabilitation in the time of extremity. An interesting ceremony took place yesterday, when the EMPEROR and EMPRESS were present at the unveiling of the monument of Prince SCIIWARZICNBURG, and met with the most enthusi astic reception. The condition of the South Tyrol is very encouraging, and the Austrian Govern ment have abolished all the laws of a restrictive character that had force there, and this will impart general satisfaction. The imperial decree which announces this declares that fears are no longer entertained of any disturbances arising in consequence of bad feeling existing. The EM PEP.OR has sent a letter to the Minister of Justice, stopping the prosecution of four Italian officers, who were found making strategical plans and illustrations, al.d they are to be at once released. This demand will be sure to produce the best effects. The EMPEROR starts to-day for Paris, and will remain there until the end of the month. His MAJESTY has certainly left affairs in a far more prosperous state than might have been at one time anticipated, and altogether the political character of Austria just now promises well, which happy result must be mainly attributed to the adoption of wise and liberal measures, combined with firmness and moderation. We are authorised to contradict the rumour that Mr. Stephen Cave intends to resign the representation of Shoreham. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS -4: (ERO3I 0011 OIVX CORRESPONDENT.) • PARIS, Sunday Evening. There was another Cabinet Council yesterday at St. Cloud. The Empress was present. The Emperor, as usual, Presided. The Council la.:=_ted for several hol I.s. A. ticspatch - 11;0, Leon received fr , tu Rutile ui- flouncing that aft , -.r an obstinate o , ;fl,t,at Yerola had Le 21.1 frUlll ti.e Gari:j4:,:, Lo Lad a great many killed. This is really all the news received to-day which can be relied upon, but various versions of pretended successes on the part of the insurgents abound. One account states that ' the Roman Legion, exclusively composed of emi grants, and commanded by Major Gliirelli, has Liken possession of Orte, a town of 6,000 inhabi tants, situated ou the right bank of the Tiber, some thirty miles to the east of Viterbo. Orte is one of the important railway stations on the railway from Pelouse to Rome. The insurgents say that - Menotti Garibaldi fights like a lion. In spite of this, however, he was compelled to aband)n his position at Nerola, as above stated. The Chamber of Deputies of the Grand Duchy of Baden has adopted unanimously, with the exception of one vote, the .treaty of alliance between the Grand Duke and the King of Prussia, which was concluded on the 17th of July, 1866. The conferences between Bavaria and Wurtem - berg, relative to the citadel of Ulm, have been commenced. Count de Taube, Under -Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and Lieut.-Col. Arlt, com mandant at Ulm, will represent Wurtemberg. In consequence of the death of King Otho, who left Greece in consequence of the events of 1862, the Pope has recognised King George the First as King of the Greeks, and renewed diplomatic rela tions with his Government. M. Ferdinand Lingle, vice-president of the Society of Dramatic Authors, has just died in Paris. He was the author of a great number of dramatic pieces, among others the " Sourd," "Maitre Pathe lin," " La Greve des Pothers," and the " Carmande de Lit." M. L:lngld leaves two sons—M. Aylic Langl6, chief of the bureau for newspapers at the Ministry of the Interior, and M. Ferrand, Langl6. Both these gentlemen are dramatic authors of high repute. The funeral of Langl6, sen., will take place to-morrow, and will no doubt be attended by a vast concourse of actors and lite rary men. An annual fair of a curious kind is held to-day at Jargeau, in the Department of Loiret. The col lection of cats is generally a very large one, and some realise high prices. Among the various reports published by the Italian papers respecting the state of Italy, it is said that a band of insurgents has occupied Salvaterra and proclaimed a P rov i s i onal Government. An other band of insur gen t s is reported to have pene trated into Ceccana at break of day, and it is added that the garrison took flight. Various skirmishes are spoken of, for instance, at Monte Rotondo and Vallecorsa, in which there were some killed and wounded. The telegraphic communication between Rome and Velletri is again interrupted. The varied features of the Exhibition are such that time produces additional attraction. For in stance, the green-houses in the reserved garden are now seen under a new and beautiful aspect. They contain an immense and splendid collection of all the fruit ripened by the autumnal sun. Since the great Exhibition of 1855 never has there been seen such quantities of " the kindly fruits of the earth" massed together. The grapes arc particularly re markable, and comprise all the varieties from which French wine of all kinds is made, including tho celebrated chapelas of Fontainebleau and all the varieties of rich Burgundy, and what is called claret. France is justly proud of her wine, and French his torians have been eloquent in their eulogies of it from the earliest days. In the fourth century Eutnene wrote that the wines of the Cute d'Or were the admiration of all foreigners. Two hundred years later Gregory of Tours compared the produce of that vintage to Faleruian wine, which Martial called immortal nectar, and which I, yron speaks of in glowing verse. The first Dukes of Bur gundy highly prized the produce of their es tates, and at that day the Voluay, Poniard, and other varieties, i,were as much ad m i re d b y connoisseurs as they are in this goodly ye ar o f 1867. Erasmus, in his " Correspondence," attri butes the restoration of his health to the wine o f Burgundy," Bal e 1 says he, in a 522, "who de servesletter Beaune. tto r i o a furnishes them with such beautiful milk." Aft er be the long illness of Louis XVI. called l 11 ie n shappy the dated a mother te d , his physician, Fagon, prescribed to him the wines of Burgundy in pre ference to those of Champagne. In 1665 M . Arbinet, a member of the Faculty of Medicine, read a learned dissertation before the Academy, in which he argued that the wine of Beauue was the most agreeable and the most salubrious of all wino. oluey was said to be the favourite wine of the first Napoleon. Other great men have preferred Cliambertin. This collection at the Exhibition, besides the fruit of France, includes some splendid specimens from Germany and Belgium. As to the French pears and applc3, never before was such fruit seen in the world. One important feature of the Exhibition deserves especial notice, the permanent medical service. In case of acvident, or sudden illness, the best medical assistance is instantly to be obtained. A remark able proof of the use and efficiency of the medical department was afforded the other day. A young woman, six months advanced in pregnancy, had an attack of pulmonary and cerebral apoplexy, arising from fatigue and indigestion. The pulse and beat ing of the heart had almost ceased. The medical man on duty happened to have some oxygen gas , which he used for experiments upon animals, and made the patient inspire about 30 quarts of gas. rho result was marvellous. The pulse and respi ration shortly returned, and after two or throe hours the patient was able to walk home. One horticulturist alone, M. Andre Leroy, of Angers, sent no less than 1,078 varieties of fruit to the above marvellous collection. The Emperor paid a long visit to the Exhibition on Friday, and selected several articles for purchase. The continued interest in the Exhibition is proved by the fact that the Paris papers continue to devote long articles to descriptions of objects not yet noticed, and it is a feature worthy of note that they attach much importance to all the appre ciations of the English journals. Not a point seems to escape the writers of these a rticles. Forinstance, one of them, referring to the noti c e g iven in The Sun of the immense marvellous clock from the eminent manufactory of M. Detou.3he, of the Rae St. Mar tin, says it is important to add that there is also a stand of that manufacturer in the clock department in the Galerie Mobilier, which contains some ad ' tnirable clocks, and the most perfect mechanism connected with them ever seen. This is true, and as visitors cannot fail to take great interest in them, it may be well to state that this department is nearly at the top of the Galerie Mobilier on the left hand side. The useful invention of M. Kellner, by means of which the door of a carriage may be opened with )ut opening the window, to which I alluded, has attracted great attention, and is likely to be gene rally adopted. The magnificent carriage of that ,kilful manufacturer is always an objecc , of gr.:at tclatirat ion, and several French papers agree id any. estimate that it is a marvellous spechnen of ele gance, beauty, and manufacturing excellence. Labrousse, a Republican of great note in former days, and once a representative of the people, died t few days ago in great indigence in the hospital of St Jean, at BrusseLi. Count Aehille Papoli, husband of the popular singer Alboni, died a day or two ago at a maison de saute. Madame Alboni, in pursuance of a custom prevalent in Italy, was desirous that a number of orphan children should follow the remains to the cemetery, and accordingly 200 poor orphans walked after the coffin. A London paper once called Grisi a "singing woman," but in Paris it would be heresy to adopt any phrase of a derisive tendency in re gard to such a singer as Alboni. There wa3 a dense fog in the environs of Paris this morning, but the sun dispersed it in the course of the day, and the weather became warm, bright, and agreeable. LATEST INTELLIGENCE, (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) -----~- THE ROMAN QUESTION. TouLox, Oct. 20. 'Despatches from Florence state that the Italian l;overtiment ha redouble , ' its inewottes for guard- Illy thv frontier of this evening says that according to despatches from Florence the Italian troops have received orders to advance at once into the Papal States. No confirmation of this statement, however, has been received. The Aerie publishes a telegram from Lyons stating that the number of soldiers sent from that tow•n'to Toulon is 20,000, and that another corps will operate in another direction. The France says: —" We learn that General Dumont's advanced guard embarked this morning for Civita Vecchia. It is certain that France will, in any ca§e, arrive at Rome before Italy. It is stated that the Italian Government has declared itself powerless to arrest the bands of insurgents or effectually protect the Holy See." FLORENCE, Oct. 19, 9 25 p.m. Accredited rumours are current that there has existed a Ministerial crisis since yesterday. Signor Rattazzi is said to have tendered his resig nation, and General Menabrea has been summoned to the Palace, and is generally designated as Signor Rattazzi's successor in the event of a change of Ministry. Garibaldi is said to have escaped from Caprera and to be now in Italy. Letters from Rome of the 18th inst. state that the garrison of that city had been reinforced. Two Garibaldian officers had been arrested with 10,000 f. in gold in their possession. it is stated that Menotti Garibaldi having left Nerola will occupy Palombara. The French Minister at the Papal Court has officially notified to the Pope, in the name of the Emperor Napoleon, that, whatever may arise, the aid of France will not fail him. It is announced that Orte has been re-occupied by the Pontifical troops. The papers report excitement throughout the country, owing to the threat of intervention by France. The Italian troops upon the frontier are con stantly reciving reinforcements. The Opinions of to-day says that the National Bank of Italy has advanced the Government 100 millions of lire upon bonds which the Bank under takes to place. It is believed that the compulsory circulation of bank-notes will continue until these 100 millions are repaid. The Moniteur of yesterday (Sunday) publishes in its bulletin the following paragraph : "Despatches from Rome, dated the 19th, an-. nounce that on the previous day the Garibaldians, without awaiting the attack of the Pontifical troops, evacuated Monte Libretti and the intrenched camp which they had fortified near that town. They had concentrated at Nerola, where they were assaulted by the Roman troops on the evening of that day. After a fierce contest, the Garibaldian bands were driven out of Nerola and completely routed, aban doning many of their dead and wounded, and leaving many prisoners. Details are yet wanting of this brilliant feat of arms of the Pontifical troops. At Rome, and in all parts of the territory of the Holy See which have not had to endure the presen3e of the invaders, tranquillity continues to prevail." PARIS, Oct. 20. The Moniteur publishes the following news from Rome to the 19th evening. 140 Garibaldians were captured by the Papal troops at Nerola. On their arrival the Garibaldians evacuated Orte and Terra eine, and the result is at the present moment no point of the Papal territory is occupied by the in surgents. Perfect tranquillity continues to prevail at Rome, ITALY. FLORENCE, Oct. 20, 9.5 p.m. The resignation of the Ministry has up to the present not been accepted. General Cialdiui has been summoned by telegraph to Florence. The Roman Legion effected a junction last nigh with Menotti Garibaldi. THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. BOMBAY, Sept. 29 (via Trieste). The advance guard of the Abyssinian field force, consisting of about 1,400 troops and 1,000 horses and mules, sailed on the sth October, and will be followed a month later by the rest of the expedi tionary force. General Napier having protested against a division of the expedition being sent from Bengal that Presidency only furnishes one mountain train, one mortar battery, the 10th and 12th Regi ments of Bengal cavalry, and the 23d Native in fantry, all of which have been specially asked for by the Commander-in-Chief. The Bombay Government has applied to the -Government of India, at the request of General Napier, for free passages home by the Indian trans ports for the wives of of f icers proceeding to Abys sinia. Much dissatisfaction is expressed at the announce ment that the Bengal and Madras troops are not to take part in the Abyssinian expedition. AMERICA. (Arrival of the America.) SO UTHAMPTON, Oct. 21. The North German Lloyd steamer America from New York arrived to-day with 49 passengers for this port, llavre, and Bremen, 44 sacks of mails, and $204,056 for London, $51,231 for France, and $2,000 for Hamburg. NEW YORK, Oct. 10 (Morning). The Democrats on Tuesday carried the Penn sylvania elections by about 9,000 majority, electing Sharwood Judge of the Supreme Court, and Mr. Woodward as member to Congress, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Dennison. Both parties claim a majority in the Legislature. The Democrats have probably carried the Ohio elections, electing Mr. Thurman governor, the en- tire State ticket, and one member of Congress to fill the vacancy also securing a majority in both branches of the Legislature. The negro suffrage amendment in Ohio has been defeated by an overwhelming majority. The Republicans hare carried lowa, electing a Governor and other State officers by greatly reduced majorities. The ißepublicans have elected a majority of County officers in ludiaua, but by reduced majori- Great Democratic rejoicings are taking place throughout the country.

A Est of two hundred jurors has been drawn by military orders at Louisiana, only twenty of whom are white. A party of armed negroes are retaining forcible possession of some lands near Norfolk, and have resisted the Federal officers sent to dispossess them.

The draft of the bill thereupon passed unani mously. THE RITUAL DIS 7 URBANCES AT S7OKE NEWINGTON. Yesterday the riotinga at Stoke Newington, aris ing out of the ritualistic developments at the church of St. Matthias, were resumed, but happily without any very lamentable results. Long before the com mencement of evening service a large body of police, many of them mounted, were stationed in Gold smith-square and the adjacent streets, and kept in motion the roughs as they approached the church. But what struck more terror into the minds of the intending rioters than anything else was the arrival of between 40 and 50 reserved men of the Al divi sion, who had com e f r om London by tr a i n , and who were marched into the school-room by the side of the church to be ready for any contingency that might arise. The church, as usual, was densely crowded, and wax strongly garrisoned by a large number of young men from other congregations where ritualistic practices prevail, and who have promised their assistance in maintaining order until the present troubles pass away. During the service there were two or three attempts at in- terruption, but they were without much difficulty repressed. The set mon was preached by the Rev. C. J. Legeyt, M.A., the incumbent, from the 24th chapter of Ezekiel, verse 19—" And the people said unto me, Wilt thou not tell us what these things are to us, that thou doest so?" Upon this he founded an elaborate defence of catholic principles, the whole aim and tendency of which, he con tended, was the elevation of man. The Church, ho said, bad been grossly negligent during the 200 years, but its power had been revived, and be believed that through the ministra tions of its clergy, if properly directed, great changes might be brought about in the moral and spiritual character of the people. At the close of the service the congregation, as they left the church, had to face ax - army of roughs, who, however, were able to do little more than call them foul names, being kept under by the admirable arrangements of the police. According to the usual practice, they made their way, after the church was closed, to Newington -green, and surrounded the house of Mr. Brett, the churchwarden, who in the morning was escorted home -by a body of police. No violence was offered beyond tho throwing of a few stones and patches of mud, but loud ;cries 'were continually raised for Mr. Brett, who had not, however, at that time returricd . home. At a few minutes past nine a loud shout was raised that Mr. Brett was corning, and the mob pressed forward with threatening violence, but was driven back by the police. Meanwhile Mr. Brett, who was accomyanied by 40 or 50 gentlemen, reached the steps of his door, and on getting to the top the gentlemen who had- escorted .him waved their hats and gave him a succession of hearty cheers. Mr. Brett raised his hat in acknowledg ment of the compliment, and in another minute he was safely in doors. This somewhat injudicious demonstration was construed by the mob into an act of defiance, and as they could not get at Mr. Brett they made an .attack upon the police, pelting them with stones and mud. As the mob was becoming excited, the mounted police determined upon vigorous measures, and, having made up their minds with regard to three or four of the ringleaders, they made a dash for the purpose of securing them. The suddenness of the move ment caused a general rush, and hundreds of boys and men were to be seen rolling together in the mud. Loud demands were made upon the police not to interfere, and attempts were made to rescue the men whom they had seized. The police suc- ceeded, however, in retaining two of them, and these were walked off to be locked up for the night. After this the mob seemed to lose heart, and batch after batch of ruffians moved off, but it was past ten o'clock before the ground was cleared. For this extra assistance the churchwardens and con- gregation of St. Matthias have of course to pay. PENAL SERVITUDE.—There were 77 convicts under sentence of penal servitude or transportation for life in the Government prisons in England at the end of last year. Of this number 38 were aged cripples or permanent invalids, 11 treason felony convicts, 5 soldiers sentenced for military offences, and 23 convicts the majority of whom have been sentenced since 1864, and cannot therefore have their cases considered until 20 years have elapsed. Under recent arrangements 250 cells have been added to Pon tonville prison, and 412 cells, whieh have been for many years rented at Wakefield prison by the Government, were given up some months ago, as it is believed that the accom modation at Milibank and Pentonville will now suffice for the reception of convicts under sentence of penal servitude. A return appended to the last report of the Directors of Convict Prisons shows that from 1857 to 1866, both in clusive, 25,387 persons were sentenced to various terms of penal servitude, 2,888 having been sentenced in 1857, 8,109 in 1861, and 1,791 in 1866. Of this number 7 were under sentence for four years, 422 for five years, 23 for six years, 952 for seven years, and 387 for longer periods. A further epitome of the total number received last' year shows that 1,331 male and .170 female convicts were received, not pre viously sentenced to penal servitude, the remainder being old offenders. Out of this number eight men and five women had been found guilty of murder, and 33 men and three women were sentenced for manslaughter. The "separate confinement" system is limited to nine mouths, and the prisoners are during this term very extensively employed in mat-making, all the Government offices being now supplied with mats by the convict department. These establishments also supply the convict depots in Tasmania, West Australia, and Gibraltar with clothing, boots, and other articles, a large proportion of which are made up in the "separate" prisons. The directors report that "the effect of separation, especially upon hardened offenders, appears to be salutary, and from the eagerness evinced by the men for-removal there can be no doubt it is regarded by them us a severe form of imprisonment." TROOPS FOR LIVERPOOL.—Abattery of four field guns, two troops of the 15th Hussars, and ten companies of infantry have been ordered for Liverpool. As there are (singularly enough) no military barracks in the town, the authorities have been puzzled how to find them accommo dation. Mr. Charles Mclver, however, has offered the free use of the fine Cunard steamers Africa and Australasian, lying in the Huskisson Dock ; and of the large drill-shed used by the Cunard Brigade of Volunteer Artillery. Tbo Cavalry mail Artillery will probably be stationed at the Everton Militia storehouse, and at various corporation buildings.

Another attentpt to murder a police-constable was made in North Crescent-mews, Burton-crescent, between two and three o'clock on Sunday morning. The victim, who at present lies iu a most dangerous state, is Police-constable George Saunders, 153, belonging to the E Division of the Metropolitan Police Force. He is about 24 years of age. It appears that he was discovered in North Crescent mews, lying insensible and covered with blood. He was at once conveyed to th police-station, where Dr. Paul, the divisional surgeon, examined him, and found that he was suffering from a severe gunshot wound in the thigh, and also from partial concussion of the brain. Several large and deep wounds were on the back part of his head, which bore the appearance of having been inflicted by some heavy blunt instrument. Sergeant Wheeler, -18 E, the acting inspector on duty, immediately pro ceeded to the spot where the outrage had been com mitted, and instituted a thorough search round the mews. His efforts were rewarded by finding a pistol, a ball, some powder, and a sharp-pointed knife, such as those used by shoemakers iu the course of their business. When Saunders had re covered consciousness he said that during his rounds he observed a man loitering about the mews. About two o'clock on Sunday morning he feltit to be his duty to question him. He asked him what he was loitering there for, and the man at once drew a pistol and shot him in the thigh, and afterwards attacked him with some blunt instrument (sup posed to be the butt-end of the pistol), striking him in a most brutal manner about the head until he was rendered insensible. It is supposed that the man was connected with a gang of burglars who were endeavouring to operate on some house in the neighbourhood, and had taken the above means of effecting his escape. He is known by sight by the injured constable, and several officers in private clothes are engaged in tracing out the miscreant. LATEST PARTICULARS— (THIS DAY.) Upon making inquiries this morning at the Hun ter-street Police-station our reporter was informed that the unfortunate officer, John Saunders, of the E division, had spent a very restless night, that he complained of most excruciating pains in his head and legs, and also of being excessively . weak, accoind panied by a sensation of sickness. The injuries the poor fellow received by the knife and pistol shot are described as being both of a more serious character than was imagined; and should erysipelas supervene the recovery of the unfortunate officer will be ex tremely doubtful. Every attention is being given by Dr. Paul, and in addition other surgical assist ance has been obtained for the sufferer. The reason the constable following the would-be murderer, • appears, was owing to certain information having reached the police authorities that private meetings were being held by the Fenians in the neighbourhoods of Somers-town and Battle-bridge for organising an attack upon property in those districts, and simul taneously with a rising taking place in the northern districts the Fenians on the south side of the Thames were to join the others in a body. This was ascer tained by some of the detectives of the A and P divisions, who have for some time past been secreted in a garden on the' , Freehold" of Camberwell, near the Wyndham-road, the nucleus of the lowest Irish. Their proceedings having been made known to Sir Richard Mayne, every precau tion has been made by the police to prevent anything like a general rising of the Fenians ; and now that the electric telegraph is attached from station to station throughout the metropolis, there would be no difficulty in summoning the police from each part of London, and, should occasion require it, the military also. The ruffian who has thus endangered the life of the officer, it is believed, will not be long before he is in the hands of the officers of the law, for it is owing principally to the descrip tion given of one of the leaders of Fenianism that the constable was induced to watch him so closely. It is firmly believed that he is at present sheltered by his companions in crime in the district of Somers-town. From what the wounded man could see of his assailant he bore fully the description of a man that had long been sus pected of working hard in the Fenian cause, and apparently not more than 30 or 32 years of age, of very fair complexion, and about sf. 9in. high. He seemed not in the least to disguise what he was, as he wore a Fenian hat, and a handkerchief round his neck, in order to let his comrades know what ho was. The mere fact of having two ounces of gun powder in his possession leads to the inference that he expected to be joined by others, in order to have a desperate struggle, but the noise no doubt alarmed them, and prevented their appearance. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. FORGING AN ORDER FOR THE PAYMENT OF MONEY BY TIIE FOMER SECRETARY OF A FORESTERS' LODGE.—Alphonso Griffiths,lof No. 12, Parker-street, and formerly secretary of Croft's Lodge, No. 4,561, of the Ancient Order of Foresters, held at the White Horse public house, Castle-street, was charged with forging and uttering an order for the payment of money. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, appeared for the prosecution, and said that ho pro posed to enter into one case out of many, and then to ask for a remand. It was necessary by the rules of the order that before the secretary paid any money the cheques should be signed not only by him but by the Chief Ranger of the Lodge. The cheque in question was signed by the prisoner—. who, in April last, was the secretary—and pur ported to be signed by Mr. Cook, the then Chief caner, but which Mr. Cook would prove was not the case. Mr. Cook was called by Mr. E. Lewis, and said that he was now the secretary of the society, but in April last was the chief ranger. It was the duty of :he chief roger to sign the cheques for the payment of money. The c!ieque produced, and purporting to be signed by him, was not in his handwriting. Mr. Gill, the treasurer, said he paid the prisoner the sum of £1 83., the amount of the cheque, be lieving the signature to it to be that of the chief . ranger, Mr. Cook. The prisoner was remanded. Mr. Holman Hunt has almost finished a picture of considerable size, representing " Isabella with the Basil Pot," from Keats's "Eve of St. Agnes."
