A war between France and Italy is so much to be deplored for many reasons that must give place to that of peace. It shows the danger of despairing too soon, that even the very significant sign of the French troops being at Toulon could not be taken as an infallible proof of war being on the tapis ; that there was every reason to apprehend it was indeed true, but then it was not certain or decided upon, and all must rejoice at the escape they have had. The Emperor NAPOLEON has realised the truth of Lord DERBY'S saying, that boldness was safety, for in all probability had he not taken such decisive steps as he did the Italian Government would not have been so decided in their movements. No doubt it has been an anxious time for all con cerned, and it is as well that things have turned out as they have done, because no satisfactory result would have followedupon a general imbroglio. Anything that interfered with.the prestige of France just now would be a European calamity, for the minds of men naturally turn to her as the great check that will be put upon the encroachments of Germany and Prussia especially. As for Italy, in this country more particularly, but also in other places in a great measure, it would have caused disappointment and dismay to find her progress so materially retarded and her prosperity so greatly damaged as they must have been by a war with a great Power, long her ally and some time her defender. VICTOR EMMANUEL is greatly to be commended for the determined attitude which he has assumed, and he is also to be commiserated for the somewhat anomalous position that he has been forced to assume. Those are,however,the wisest statesmen and the truest patriots who look beyond the excitement and the temptations of the preseent moment to the ultimate consequences of [their actions ; and we may well ask what good could have come of the Govern ment of Florence going with the insurgents whose policy they had previously denounced. There are evils in plenty to mention as the consequence of the rash resolve, and with this reflection the KING and his friends must console themselves if they are attacked by disappointed enthusiasts whose seal outruns their discretion, and who lack judgment in their desperate undertakings. The substitution of Gen. CIALDINI for Rattazzi will, no doubt, tend greatly to smooth over difficulties, and to improve the general aspect of affairs. The news received from Toulon that the depar ture of the French fleet for Civita Vecchia is sus pended gives certainty and reality to the reassuring statements from Italy, and proves that if not there in particular those details are correct in the main. Thus the Italian Minister and Paris may well be supposed to hive received from Florence reports of such a nature as to warrant the belief that the demands of France upon the Italian Government will be complied with. The cause of the volunteers does not seem to have been very prosperous, to judge from the accounts given of their encounters with the Papal troops ; but no doubt they were not fully prepared for a conflict with organised opponents ; they relied too much on their own skill, and were led away by excitement. It is, at any rate, a matter for rejoicing that the storm which yesterday threatened the tranquillity of Italy has blown over, and that Europe is not to be scandalised by an outbreak of hostilities as uncalled for as unfortunate. We doubt, however, if Count BISMARCK will have hoard these peaceful reports with much pleasure, and perhaps he may have good cause to re gret the countermanding of the departure of French troops for Italy. Who can tell what turn events may now take:; and it is certainly not impossible that, in consequence of the impetus given to the French preparations for war, the scene of action may be changed to another quarter, and the long-pending settlement of disputes between France and Prussia be anticipated by some months, Be this as it may, the aspect of affairs on the Continent is by no means a satisfactory one, nor is the pros pect of peace certain for the future. The members for North Lancashire have been discoursing upon the subject of education, in con nection with the distribution of prizes won by the members of the Accrington Mechanics' Institution at the Union examinations. Colonel WILSON PATTEN remarked upon the difficulties that attended this question, and declared that during the forty years he had represented the county he bad given great attention to the question. What with the differences of opinion about religious education and the great stumbling-block of the voluntary principle, it is indeed perplexing to know how to come to a satis factory conclusion. One branch of education to which special allusion was made in this speech was that of artisan education. It has been noticed that in the reports drawn up about the Paris Ex hibition a general inferiority is attributed to the English in those branches of manufacture which depend on art and science. The late Prince CON SORT believed that the cause of the superiority of foreign nations was to be assigned to the people exercising their talents in a greater degree in the arts and sciences and the highest branches of manufacture, and there is great truth in the advice given by Colonel PATTEN to the effect that arts should be advanced not simply in connection with arts as with manufactures. The Marquis of lIARTINGTON addressed some re marks on the advantages of such institutions as those before them, and showed the importance of men in a district like that knowing the principles of the work in which they were engaged. They gained besides a general knowledge of the events that were passing around them, and the working man could peruse the newspapers and monthly periodicals, the " in telligent study" of which confers great advantages. The noble marquis truly said that dramas and his tories have been enacted under our eyes during the last few years. There was the American War, there were the changes in the Cabinet, all of which were chronicled day by day, and month by month, for our benefit, and the contents of a newspaper " afford means for getting the materials for a romance, and also for acquisition of philosophy." If institutions of this kind are not always so successful as they ought to be, the answer may be found in the fact that all have not received the education they ought. It is certain, as Lord HUNTINGTON said, that education is the great question of the future, and will be the pressing demand of the future. All agree in that, at any rate, and Mr. Lows, in his dia tribes against Reform, declares that it is absolutely necessary to attend to education. The noble mar quis concluded his speech by an impressive passage on the blessings of education, and declared that he should admire more than the liberal principles and philanthropy of the country the " spectacle of a people thoroughly educated ; the spectacle of a people amongst whom it would be impossible to find a man who did not know how to read or write, and something of his country's history and laws." The tide of public favour in the United States has evidently turned in favour of more moderate counsels than have lately prevailed. The news which reaches us concerning the elections confirms in every particular the impressions created by the signs of the times. The Democrats have gained positive triumphs in several directions. Where the Radicals have secured the elections, on the contrary they have done so by such greatly reduced majorities as proves their power to be on the wane. The most important victory achieved by the Democrats was in the State of Pennsylvania, which is generally accepted as the indicator of the total result. The elections were carried by the Democrats by a majority of 9,000, Mr. Su A RWOOD being elected Judge of the Supreme Court and Mr. WOODIVARD member to Congress. Both parties claim a majority in the Legislature—a re sult which is not very surprising after a contested election ! It is thought probable that the Democrats have also carried the Ohio elections, electing Mr. THURMAN Governor, the entire State ticket, and one member of Congress to fill the vacancy; also securing a majority in both branches of the Legis lature. This is a wonderful change from the state of things last year; and it is further noticeable that in Indiana and lowa, where the Republicans have carried the day, they have done so by greatly reduced majorities —a proof that the Democrats have gained strength, and will very likely succeed in placing their owu candidates at the next election. In Ohio extreme views met with little favour, for the Negro Suffrage Amendment has been defeated by an overwhelming number. This we apprehend would be the case in any State where the real opinion of the white population could be obtained, and with some reason. A list of 200 jurors has been drawn by military orders in Louisiana, only 20 of whom are white. This gives us a fair idea of the ascendancy which it is the in terest of the negro suffrage party to secure to the blacks—an ascendancy which there can be no doubt could only be productive of mischievous results. A bill to permit negroes to hold office has been passed in the Tennessee Legislature, but this is an imprudent step. To allow the negroes to give evidence, to hold property, and other changes of the kind is wise, just, and neces sary ; but to hurry on their political progress, to place them in positions of influence and power for which they have had no training by education or association, to thrust grave responsibilities upon them for which they are not fit; in short, to make political capital out of their excitability, their igno rance, and their ambition, is as foolish as it is dangerous, as impolitic as it is unreasonable. The Radicals hays been most reckless in their con duct in this respect. We hear by this very mail that Mr. HANNICUT, the Radical leader in Virginia, has been making an incendiary speech to the negroes at Richmond. We may see the consequences of such inflammatory harangues on every side. A party of armed negroes have taken forcible possession of some lands n.ear Nor.. folk, and have resisted the Federal officers sent to dispossess them. Such extremities are very unde sirable, but until some restraining influence can be brought to bear upon the ultra-Radicals we cannot expect the negroes to show more moderation than their leaders. Happily the indications of the poli tical barometer are favourable to, wise and concilia tory counsels. The l'itesiDENT, we arc told by the New Yoi k 7 biles, accepts the results of the elections as an endorsement of his policy, and will now remodel his Cabinet. Another year's experience has taught wisdom to the people who suffered themselves in the autumn of 1866 to be misled by Radical harangues and duped by specious phrases. The condition of the country is not such as to justify any further extension of confidence to the party who has grievously abused its lease of power, and its finances are very unlikely to flourish so long as bounties to the soldiers secure Radical elections. Great Democratic rejoicings are taking place throughout the country, and with reason ; but it is to be hoped that the members of the winning party will have learned by experience to subordinate their own immediate personal interests to the ultimate advantago of the people at large. The news which reaches us from La Plata con firms the rumours which had previously gained ground respecting the altered fortunes of the allies. The valour and determination of the Paraguayans will, there is little doubt, have saved the independence of their gallant little State, notwithstanding the tre mendous odds which at first sight appeared to threaten them. The triple alliance is in a fair way of breaking up, and certainly for any good the allies are doing each other it may very well come to an immediate end. By some extraordinary blunder, or series of blunders, of which the Paraguayans have not been slow to take advantage, the allied fleet and forces have alike got caught in a trap, and the consequent disputes between the Argentine and Brazilian Commanders, who, not unnaturally, each laid the blame of their common misfortunes on the other, are likely to bring the war to a speedy termination. The news which we received some time since by telegram, and which is now communicated more in detail, was to the effect that the Brazilian fleet had passed Curupaity, but were unable to advance and make an attack on Humaita could they force a passage. The Paraguayans had retaken Curuzu in their rear, and it now seems that they have so completely sown the river with torpedoes and other obstructions of the kind that the Brazilian fleet is hemmed in and unableeither to advance or to retreat. It is as much as it can do to keep out of reach of the artillery of the fortifications of either side. This would of itself be bad enough, but the army is in a very peculiar position, and being unable to co-operate with the fleet is obliged to entrench itself at Tuju.-cud from threatened attack by the Paraguayans. President MITRE, the Buenos Ayrean commander, throws the blame of this dilemma upon the Marquis CAXIAS, the Brazilian leader, who of course returns the charge with inte rest. An ill feeling has sprung up in consequence, which is likely, as we have said, to break up the alliance altogether, and if it produces this effect it will be matter for congratulation. The allies are exhausting themselves to no purpose : they are keeping up the war at heavy cost without any prospect of ultimate success, since the natural strength of the country so well seconds the valour and determination of the Paraguayans that they can offer a formidable resistance to any invaders. Humaita is a place of considerable strength, and has effectually im peded the progress of the invading fleet, a fact of which the Paraguayans have taken advantage to strengthen Curupaity also. They have thus two powerful fortifications, from which the invaders are glad to keep at a respectable distance. The Paraguayans at the first outbreak of the war expressed their unalterable resolution to maintain it at any cost or sacrifice until their great object was attained, and their national independence fully. recognised. They have upheld their resolution valiantly, and henceforward the other and stronger Powers must learn to respect the gallant little State who refuses to submit to their oppressive and overbearing policy. Brazil has already more than her share of the South American continent, and the course she has pur- sued is not such as to entitle her to increase her possessions still further. As for the Argentine Republic they are more than tired of the fruitles3 struggle, and the opinion of the people is openly expressed. A significant incident has just occurred in a change in the Argentine Cabinet. The Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Education have both resigned, and their successors are strongly in favour of peace. The Argentine press is declaring loudly that the war has lasted too long already, and the reap. pearance of cholera at Tuju-cue and the neighbour- hood will not be likely to alter this opinion. I is feared . that the camp will again have to be romoved—a matter which, under the circumstances, is not very easy or desirable. Some decided course will very soon be forced upon the Allies, for it is impossible that fleet and army should remain long in an inaction which invites attack. If the Paraguayans hold out a little longer—as there is no fear but that they will do—they will be able to tell the world a very different story from that which their enemies have for a long while past so industriously circulated. 711 E ROMAN QUESTIO.V. A Paris correspondent of the independence Beige, writing on the 19th inst., says I learn that the King of Italy evinces alarm at the consequences which a resolution in conformity with the desires of the nation might entail upon the country. lam informed that Victor Emmanuel is inclined towards a return to a policy of expectation. According to the statements of those of his council lors who encourage him in that view, his Majesty will address to the nation a manifesto, in which ho will explain frankly and open the present situation. He will declare that he shares and will continue to share the sentiments which animate his people ; that he abandons no one of the national aspirations of Italy ; that he would desire to march at the head of his people immediately in order to complete the work of unity, and to satisfy the legitimate wishes of his country, but that it is a duty incumbent on him to weigh well the responsibility which would fall upon him and his Government if he were to expose Italy to the risk of provoking war with a powerful neighbour ; that such a war would have for its immediate consequence the complete financial ruin of the country, and might also imperil the na tional work, which has only been accomplished at the cost of great sacrifices and great efforts. He would state his belief that, under the circumstances, he will be performing a patriotic action in restrain ing the feelings which he is known to entertain, and in receding from a resolution of which the conse quences might be incalculable, and that he is con vinced he will be best serving the cause of his country by yielding to the superior forces of a Power which he reckons among his most faithful allies, and to which Italy owes a debt of gratitude. The mani festO will add in express terms that the King yields in this manner with ou t p re judice to the national aspirations, without renounc i n g any pretension of Italy, and solely for the purpose of avoiding the calamities of a dreadful war, and he hopes that the nation will understand that he enjoins upon it simply a period of delay--a delay of no long duration, and during which Italy w ill b e a bl e to prepare herself for the fulfilme n t o f h er t as k by applying herself to her internal organisation and the re-establishment of her finances. The King will conclude by appealing to the patriotic devotion and wisdom, and to the resignation, unhappily necessary, of all citizens." NEW SPIRITUAL PEER.----The Right Rev. Dr. T. L. Ciaughton, who was recently consecrated Bishop of Rochester, becomes entitled to a seat in the House of Lords in Consequence of the death of the Bishop of Lichfield, and in his capacity of junior bishop will have to attend each sitting of tho house for the purpose of reading prayers, thus relieving the Bishop of Chester fro►n the duty. The new Bishop of Lichfield will be without a seat until a vacancy arises in a diocese other than Canterbury, York, London, ',Durham, and Winchester. This arrangement takes place under the Act of Parliament constituting the bishopric of Manchester. THE MURPHY ItioTs.—Tiventy-five Irishmen surrendered and pleaded guilty, at the Birmingham Quarter Sessions yesterday, to the indictment charging them with having assembled ou the IGth and 17th June last, and made a great riot and disturbance. The counsel for the prosecution (Messrs. Bennett and Dugdalo) said the authorities thought it right to recommend that the prisoners be discharged on entering into their own recog uisances to appear when called upon. They never would be called upon unless they tniscondaaed themselves. They were, therefore, discharged, CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (ERO3I OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Monday Evening. There is again " confusion worse confounded" in regard to the state of affairs in Italy —accounts of alleged successes on the part of the insurgents abroad, whilst, on the other hand, a Paris journal which affects to have certain knowledge of the exact position of the situation, asserts positively that all the bands have retired from the Pontifical States, and that not a single Garibaldian remains there. For the last day or two the Paris papers have contained long and excited articles in reference to another occupation by French troops to defend the temporal power of the Pope. This argument has arisen upon the mere hypothesis that the French Government intended to adopt this course, for the Moniteur had been quite silent upon the subject. I am enabled to state that somo communications have been exchanged between the French and Italian Governments, but the last despatch of M. Nigri from Paris seems to have been satisfactory to the Cabinet of M. Rattazzi. It was stated on supposed good authority that General Dumont's division, which forms part of the Army of Lyons, had received orders to embark at Toulon for Italy, and that Chassepot guns had been distributed to the four regiments of which it is com posed. General Failly, who it was reported would have the command-in-chief of the expedition has, I believe, left Lyons for Toulon, but there is yet no positive news of the embarkation of the expedition, if indeed it be true that such an expedition is to be sent to Italy. Again it is reported that Garibaldi has contrived to escape from Caprera. The Emperor of Austria will arrive in Paris on Wednesday afternoon. His Majesty will be accom panied by the Archdukes Charles, Louis, and. Louis Victor, his brothers, his aides-do-camp, the indi viduals forming his Cabinet, and various persons connected with the Court. Baron de Beust, Chancellor of the Empire, and Count Andrassy, President of the Council of the Hungarian Minis try, will also accompany the Emperor. His Ma jesty will, I believe, stay at the Elysde. King Louis the First of Bavaria will also arrive in Paris on Thursday on a visit for a few days. His Majesty will preserve the incog. during his stay here. The Moniteur only contains one paragraph re specting Italy to-day. It says :—" The news from Rome, dated this morning, announces that in the affair of Nerola the Pontifical troops took 140 Garibaldians prisoners. Discouraged by this new check, the Garibaldians have evacuated Orte and Terracina." I was enabled to announce this retreat of the Garibaldians from private information, and advices received to-day induce one to think that their game is up—at all events for the present. France has lost another eminent warrior, General Viscount d'Allouville, Senator, in his 57th year. He obtained his rank of General in consequence of a brilliant attack which ho made with the cavalry he commanded in the Crimea. Great animation prevailed at the Exhibition yes terday in consequence of a treat liberally given by a carpet manufacturer, M. Godillot, to his workmen and workwomen, no less than 3,500 in number. Their admission was paid for by M. Godillot, and they were regaled with a dinner, after which cigars at discretion were smoked by the men and (shall I say it) by some of the women. The party walked in procession four abreast to the Exhibition, the women at the head. Both men and women wore broad blue ribbons. A girl named Marcel has been sentenced to im prisonment for eight years for throwing her infant child into the Seine from the Pont Notre Dame. The Paris papers announce the death of a man who assumed the name of Gram - 1j can, but whose real name (Verger) had attained fatal celebrity here, he being the father of the wretch who mur- dered Monseigneur Sibon, in the church of S Etienne du Mont, some time ago. lie was noted as a man of imperturbable coolness. After his son was condemned to death he paid him a visit at the Conciergerie. On seeing his son, who was to be executed the next morning, he shook hands with him as calmly as if nothing particular had happened, merely remarking that " the business" had caused him a good deal of trouble, and had made him walk about for miles to make inquiries. "So they have condemned you," said the old man, and he then left the prisoner without any other remark. The " clerk of the weather" seems disposed to make the amends honorable for his scurvy meteoro gical visitations at the beginning of the month. Summer is come again —not chaos—and all Paris has to-day revelled in the enjoyment of heat, sun shine, and unclouded sky. My information as to the positive close of the Exhibition at the end of the month is confirmed by an official notice from the Commissioners, stating that it will irrevocably take place on the 31st inst., and that offers for the purchase of the materials of the building should be sent to the office of the Commission before that period. Another notice will be published stating the period when the mate rials may be taken away. The Avenir National is to be prosecuted for an article calculated to disturb the public peace. M. Terme, the editor of the Epoque, and M. Eyma, the writer of an article containing various falsehoods of an alarming character as to alleged meetings of Ministers with the Emperor at Biarritz, and offensive and defensive treaties, have each been sentenced to pay a fine of 1,000 francs. These pro secutions are approved of by all except a small clique of Democrats, who admire confusion and excitement. Such reports about offensive and defensive treaties, and speculations about imminent war, do immense mischief, destroy confidence, and cause capitalists to hold their money, instead of circulating it for the general benefit. Comparisons are sometimes made between the English and French press. In Eng land a newspaper addicted to the spread of false news would soon be ruined. Here a journal in want of subscribers tries to obtain temporary circu lation by wicked and dangerous inventions. The French Government never interferes with the pro pagation of legitimate news, but lies and dangerous inventions are so rife with the press here that the imperative duty is imposed upon it of protecting the public from their dangerous effects. The Em peror and the Government do all they can to pro mote real freedom of the press, but some journals are trying to be revolutionary and licentious, and they ought to be checked in the wicked attempt. CITY OF LONDON BOUNDARIES. Yesterday morning Major-General Bainbriggo, R.E., and Mr. Nassau J. Senior, barrister-at-law, two of the assistant-commissioners appointed by the Boundary Commissioners for England and Wales, under the provisions of the Representation of the People Act, 1867, held a sitting in the Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall, for the purpose of inquiring into the boundaries of the City of London, with a view to ascertain whether the boundaries could be enlarged, and on other matters. Mr. Nelson, the City solicitor, informed the com missioners that the whole of London and Black- friars Bridges belonged to the City, and were under its jurisdiction. Southwark Bridge was also under the jurisdiction of the City, although it was to some extent private property. There was a portion of Tower-hill which, for municipal pur poses, was a no-man's land; everybody seemed to repudiate it. The inhabitants were desirous that it should form part of the Ward of Aldgate, and the City era:; very anxious that it should be so. Tile reason for it:3 being a no-maii'B laud was benanse it was part of the Tower of London, and claimed by the constable of the Tower, it having, probably, been retained originally for artillery practice, although it was, of course, never applied to that purpose. The question of its annexation had been agitated for many years, and last year the Common Council promised to assist the inhabitants in their attempt to make it part of the municipal boundary of the City. Major Bainbrigge asked in what district the inhabitants of the place mentioned had voted. The City solicitor believed for the Tower Hamlets. Ho was quite sure they had not voted for the City. Major Bainbrigge said that under these circumstances he did not know whether they could deal with it. However, they would take a note of the solicitor's statement. LATEST INTELLIGENCE (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) All this evening's journals consider the political situation to have improved, and agree in stating that the departure of the fleet has been post poned. The acceptance of Signor Ratazzi's resig nation by the Ring and the formation of a Conser vative Cabinet under General Cialdini are consi dered certain. Tho Constitutionnel publishes an article signed M. Paul Limayrac, in which it says :—" The latest information from Florence confirms the hope that Italy will repress the revolutionary agitation, and we congratulate the Italian Government upon the attitude it has taken up." 10 p.m. On the Boulevards this evening Rentes were quoted at 68f. and 68f. 25c. The closing price was 68f. 15e. A firmer tone prevailed and business was rather brisk. FLORENCE, Oct. 21, 9.5 p.m. General Cialdini has accepted the taek of forming a Cabinet. The Gazzetta (Thalia says that the new Ministry will adhere to the September Convention, provided that France observes the conditions of the same. A demonstration of an orderly character took place to-day in front of the Ministry of the Inte rior. Shouts were raised of " Evviva Roma, the capital of Italy !" An address is circulating in Florence expressing confidence that the King will maintain the national honour intact. A letter of Garibaldi is published under to-day's dAte affirming the right of the Italians to Rome. The bulletin issued by the Relief Committee to day says that Garibaldi's arrival in Italy has modi fied the plans of the insurgents and of the revolu tionary party. FLORENCE, Oct. 21, 11.5 p.m General Cialdini has not yet succeeded in obtain ing colleagues to enter with him into office, and there is an apparent probability that the present Ministry will remain in power. Demonstrations have been made and municipa . addresses adopted in numerous places in favour of the Roman movement, and against all foreign inter- "erence. The insurgents within the Papal territory have met with severe reverses. Garibaldi is at large. PARIS, Oct. 22. The Illoniteur of this morning says :—" In pre sence of the aggression of which the Pontifical States have been the object, on the part of the revolutionary bands who have crossed the Papal frontier, the French Government had formed the resolution to send an expeditionary corps to Civita Vecchia. The measure was in process of accom plishment, for with a due regard for its duty, its dignity, and its honour, the Government could not exposo itself to seeing the signature of France, which is affixed to the Convention of the 15th September, 1864, violated or misapprehended. The Italian Cabinet, however, categorically declared to the Government of the Emperor that all necessary measures have been adopted to prevent the invasion of the Pontifical States, and to render the Convention entirely efficacious. In consequence of these communications the Emperor has given orders to stop the embarkation of the troops." • The Moniteur also says :—" A telegraphic de spatch from Florence announces that the King of Italy has accepted the reignation of Signor Rat tazzi, and has charged General Cialdini with the formation of a now Cabinet." AMERICA. (Arrival of the City of Boston.) NEW YORK, Oct. 12 (Morning). Later, although still incomplete, returns indicate that Mr. Kayes (Republican) has been elected Governor of Ohio by a small majority. The De mocrats have a majority in the State Legislature, and the majority against the nego suffrage amend ment is estimated at 38,000. The military authorities at Richmond have refused to allow the Confederate General Friboden to register as a voter under the President's amnesty proclamation. The case has been referred to General Schofield. The Federal Courts at Louisville have declared ;he Civil Rights Bill to be constitutional. Mr. Brownlow has been inaugurated Governor of Tennessee. It is reported that General Frank Blair or Gen. Maclernand, will soon relieve General Grant of the war portfolio. The Spanish General Prim is said to be at New York incognito. The Cunard steamship City of Boston arrived at Queenstown at 6.30 a.m. to-day (October 22), with 27 cabin passengers and £1,500 in specie. She landed mails, passenger; and telegrams, and pro ceeded for Liverpool at 6.55 a.m. All well. On Thursday the Treasury Department detected that counterfeit Seven-Thirty Bonds, to the amount of $lO,OOO, had been redeemed before the fraud was discovered. It was afterwards ascertained that counterfeit bonds to the amount of $200,000 were held in New York, which are supposed to have been executed in Europe, and aro dangerous counter feits. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 21. The Hon. Mr. Elliot, the British Ambassador, arrived here on Friday last. His Excellency will have an audience of the Sultan and pay an official visit to the Porte on Wednesday next. According to official news from Crete to Thurs day last, the steps taken by the Grand Vizier for assembling mixed deputies from all districts to arrange the future administration of the island were progressing favourably. JOURNEY OF THE W11114;110 R OF AUSTRIA Mutuctr, Oct. 2?. The Emperor of Austria, accompanied by Baron Must and Count Andrassy, passed through this city during the night. His Majesty was welcomed by Prince Adalbert, of Bavaria, and the other Princes of the Royal House. It is considered doubtful whether the Emperor will meet the King of Bavaria upon his return from Paris, as some coolness exists between their Majesties since the rupture of King Louis's engagement with the Duchess Sophia. DEATH OF TIIE AMEER OF CABUL. BOMBAY, O c t. 20 . The Ameer Afzui Khau is dead. Sirdar THE ROMAN QUESTION. PARIS, Oct. 21 (Evening). The Patric of this evening corroborates the news that the resignation of Signor Rattazzi has been ac cepted, and that General Cialdini has been called upon to form a new Cabinet. The same journal says :—" General Cialdini will adopt various anti-revolutionary measures, such as proclaiming a state of siege in those places which are ostensibly the centres of the revolutionary party. It is asserted that Chevalier Nigra, the Italian Minister here, has received advices from Florence which renders it probable that the de mands of France upon the Italian Government will receive complete satisfaction." Mahmned Cazum Kha n h as b een recogn i sed as h i successor. The sons of the deceased Amcor con tinue to command the new Amecr's army.

Dr. John Lonsdale, Bishop of Lichfield, whose death was announced in The Sun of yesterday, was the eldest son of the Rev. John Lonsdale, M.A., vicar of Darfield, near Barnsley, Yorkshire, and was born on the 17th Jan., 1788, so that he was within three months of the completion of his 80th year. He was educated at the grammar school of Heath, near Halifax, whence he proceeded to Eton, and in due course became a Fellow. From Eton he went to King's College, Cambridge, and in 1807 gained Sir William Browne's medal for the best Latin ode (Ode Latina in Obitum Gulielmi Pitt.) In 1809 again he was Browne's medallist (Ode Latina Lusi tania Liberata). In the same year he obtained Battle's prize for classics. He took his B.A. degree in 1811, but his name does pot appear in the mathematical tripos, as it was not the custom for King's men to go up for honours at that time, and the classical tripos was not instituted until 13 years afterwards. lie became a Fellow of King's, and was ordained shortly after taking his degree. In 1821 he was elected Christian Advocate, and in the same year was appointed assistant preacher at the Temple Church. His discourses preached before the Uni versity at Cambridge while holding the former office were, " Some Popular Objections against Chris tianity Considered, and the General Character of Unbelief Represented," and " The Testimo nies of Nature, Reason, and Revelation respecting Future Judgments." In 1822 he was selected by the Archbishop of Canterbury (Dr. Manners Sutton) to be one of his grace's domestic chaplains, and for a time he held a similar office under his successor, Archbishop Howley. He resigned the chaplaincy on being collated by the Archbishop to the rectory of Mersham, near Ashford. In 1828 Lord Lyndhurst, then Lord Chancellor, pre sented him to the metropolitan rectory of St. George's, Bloomsbury, which he held until 1835, when he was elected Preacher of Lincoln's-inn. Meanwhile he had become Precentor and Canon Re sidentiary of Lichfield Cathedral and Principal of King's College, London, a post which (during the time with the Archdeaconry of Middlesex) he held until 1813, when, on the death of Dr. Bowstead, ho was nominated by Sir Robert Peel, then Prime Minister, to the bishopric of Lichfield. During his 24 years' episcopate Bishop Lonsdale has won the respect of all parties in the Church, and been a most active and conscientious administrator of his enor mous diocese. The see is worth 14,500 a year, and includes the counties of Derby and Stafford, with a population of about 1,450,000, 49 rural deaneries, and 630 benefices. EXTRAORDINARY STREET ACCIDENT.--YeSterday aiternoon au accident of an extraordinary character hap pened in liennington Park-road, opposite the Metropoli tan Tabernacle, and which fortunately terminated in nothing more than a ducking to a horse and a severe shaking to a cab-driver, minus the two forewhoels of the cab. It appears that the vestry of Newington has for some time past been over assiduous in their parochial duties, as on the very spot that the accident took place it was only within the last few days that the road-way was opened for the purpose of laying down now gas-piping. It was noticed that early in the afternoon a dense mass of water covered the whole of tho street for fully 50 yards, and as it was speedily increasing a messenger was despatched to the turncock, but before assistance could be obtained tho cabman above mentioned plunged headlong into the abyss. After a short elapse man and horse were extracted from their perilous position, but the cab was loft in the ditch. The ace:dont was attributed to the bursting of the main-pipe. it 22, 1867. be no Ed'n vat qia( be hOl t , 41 11 . ac Aro n , 55 1,0,;(1 Ali e)r ee ae Ciit Cp er I\l I°ll,
