LATEST EDITION of "THE SUN." _L J. 110tatES begs to inform his friends, and the public g merally, that he supplies the LATEST EDITL/N os •• HE SUN " as soon as published —No. 16, llampstead rlad, N.W. famine, in which official redtapists so long refused to believe, may be gathered from the fact that during all the debates, the discussions, the reproaches, and the explanations which have been going on in this country respecting it, the famine has still held its ground. Want and misery, though slackening their hold by slow degrees, are still masters of Orissa, and that district,which competent authorities have declared to be capable of most extensive and profitable cultivation under an efficient system of irrigation, is still suffering from the effects of a complete failure of the crops. Of course, no human prescience or science can altogether guard against such calamities as famine ; but there can be no question that, when they do occur, they can be greatly mitigated, if all the resources of wealth and the means of communication possessed by a Govern ment like that of India be brought into active ser vice. No one can pretend that such was the case at Orissa, and we can only hope that the terrible sufferings endured by the people may at least teach a lesson that shall not easily be forgotten. We have one piece of encouraging intelligence in regard to this question of famine—all apprehensions of a famine iu Upper Burmah have ceased, and the exportation of rice from British Burmah still con tinues. The prospects of the indigo crop are un favourable, owing to the heavy rains, but nothing is said of the aspect of the cotton cultivation. The evils so long complained of in the fraudulent packing, &c., have at last aroused the attention of Government, and a Cotton Frauds' Act is to be introduced into the Viceroy's Council next session. Another step in advance is the appoint ment of a committee by the Bengal Government to consider Colonel FRASER'S plans for the erection of lighthouses on the mouth of the Hooghly and on the jetties of Calcutta. There have been accidents and misadventures enough in the Hooghly to demand that some measures be taken for the relief of the shipping, and it is only wonderful that so simple an expedient as an efficient system of lighting has not earlier been adopted. Improvements which are carried out slowly enough among ourselves move still more slowly in India. Perhaps no country stands more in need of a vigorous prosecution of public works, a liberal expenditure of public money in works of lasting benefit, a hearty encouragement to enterprise and ingenuity. Our colonies in other parts of the globe possess indeed vast undeveloped capacities, and contain profitable work for many a generation to come ; but as yet they are thinly peopled, and suffer none of the ills attendant on a densely-peopled country left half way in the race of civilisation. The natives of India are naturally quick-witted and subtle, and readily appreciate the advantages of modern science. They have been quick to avail themselves of railways, steamboats, and other facilities which it was thought might interfere with their traditional prejudices of caste and custom. There is no doubt that the influence of such innovations must surely, if slowly, break down the artificial barriers which have so long hindered the mental and moral pro gress of the people, while a sufficiency of peaceable and profitable occupation will remove half the existing inducements to wars and mutinies. If ten years before the outbreak of '57 our public works, our cotton cultivation, our tea planta tions, our railways, had been in the same position as they are now we might have been spared some sad and terrible memories. The deadly influence of a monopoly, however wisely or kindly managed, added to the enervating effects of climate, and the loss of the stimulus of social and intellectual criti cism, lulled over Anglo-Indians when the great wars were over into a fatal security, and still more fatal indifference. One great drawback to Indian reforms is to be found in the little interest taken in them in this country. Matters are better in this respect than they were, but we are still more familiar with the state of feeling in Melbourne or New York than we are with public opinion in Calcutta or Bombay. The difference of race and of language are not the only obstacles ; it is the difficulty of re conciling the people of an ancient world with modern thoughts and feelings that hinder a thorough understanding. But the less Indian affairs are spoken of, written of, thought of, the less likely we are to get over these drawbacks ; and if, instead of trying to remove them and familiarise ourselves with India as it really is, we turn aside with indif ference and impatience, we shall have one of these days to reproach ourselves for the neglect, as we have often done, when regret was too late to be profitable. Yesterday the Medical Schools opened for the winter campaign, and, according to the usual custom that prevails, inaugural addresses were delivered by some of the leading professors. These are interesting to peruse, and in many parts will be found suggestive. At St. Bartholomew's Hos posital Dr. ODLING was the lecturer, and in his lengthened discourse he took an elevated view of the duties of the medical profession. He cited, as an instance of the excellence to which a physician might attain, the life of the late Dr. JEAFFERSON, whose career of usefulness was cut short by yphus fever last year, causing very general regret among the profession, and indeed society at large. A good illustration of what the experienced and aspiring might hope to effect was given in this passage :—" The power of the physician is not indeed omnipotent, but it was nevertheless real in its character, considerable in its extent, and well founded in its operations." At the present day we find too much faith put in certain systems, and too much stress laid upon particular modes of cure, which, after all, often fail upon trial, and disappoint the expectations of all concerned. In these lectures Dr. ODLING speaks very sensibly on this subject, and declares that the treatment of disease does not depend upon any specific system of cure, but that the right course to pursue was to be familiar with the disease itself, and to comprehend the measure in which it is influenced by various remedial measures. Many other reme dies may be met without merely relying upon medicine, and fortunately this idea is now becom ing more prevalent than in former times. In order to arrive at success, it is necessary, as is here impressed upon the students, not to dissociate the science and the art of medicine. Towards the con. elusion the lecturer commented upon the defective state of physical education at most of the schools and colleges, whereby valuable time was lost in the hospitals. At St. Thomas's Hospital an eloquent address was delivered by Mr. S. SOLBY. He said that forty years ago he had himself commenced the study of the profession in the time-honoured school of St. Thomas's. As an old guide he therefore offered advice to those then entering upon a new career. To compare those before him to travellers was, he said, too tame a simile, for were they not rather " warriors buckling on their armour to fight a noble fight for professional existence ? In all truth, then, may I say, a sacred burden is the life you bear ; dwell on it, lift it, bear it solemnly, stand up, walk beneath it steadfastly." Some interesting particulars were given in this address concerning St. Thomas. it is more than seven hundred years ago since the institution which gave rise to St. Thomas's Hospital was founded. Guy's Hospital received its introductory address C OVEN T-G ARD EN PROMENADE CONCERTS. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. EVERY EVENING, at EIGHT. Under the sole Direction of Mr. JOHN RUSSELL.

Some idea of the terrible nature of that "WS SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, ocroßEtt 2, 1867 from Mr. A. DI JRHAM, and it was a practical one. The students in this hospital have many advan tages from die numerous cases before them for study, an' 3, as the lecturer truly observed, a man V could not learn his duties so well at a Eit nall hospital as at a large one. By extended observation he learned that no two cases are ever exactly alike, and that the treatment applied to each should be adapted to its special re quirements. To sum up his advice in a few words, he urged the students around him to " observe cor rectly, to examine carefully, and to investigate thorough 4." Many mistakes may be made in the history o f science, because men will not take the trouble to follow these plain rules, and in conse quence were compelled to guess at results rather than to draw their own conclusions from experience. Some sensible observations were made in conclusion respecting the faults and flaws that exist in the profession, and which do more harm than even the " quackery without." At King's College Professor MILNER gave an admirable address, and directed his observations especially to those who, just entering upon their task, saw with dismay what lay before them. He impressed upon them that the most important part of a man's education was that which he gained himself. Among other counsel which the learned Professor gave to his young hearers was the import ance of having some rest in their arduous avocations; and the due observance of Sunday was, he said, of value for health, besides being a religious duty. This is a mistake often made at the present time, when people are apt to think that they cannot do too much, and persist in forgetting the importance of rest. At the University College the address was delivered by Professor HEWITT, who confined his remarks principally to the treatment of disease, concerning which he made some very rational observations, and he directed some notice to the importance of the nutritive treat- meat being rightly adopted. Dr. LETIIEBY, at the London Hospital, made some interesting remarks. He said that 87 years ago their pre decessors met in that Hospital to inaugurate the first medical session in the metropolis ; and if those earnest men that day assembled could rise from their graves and see them now assembled with their educational work before them they would feel wonder and admiration. Altogether we may consider that these addresses are full of hope and promise, and seem to indicate that the changes which must inevitably take place in the medical profession, as in others, aro for the most part in the right direction ; and here, as elsewhere, we may notice much greater freedom from pre judice than in former times. The Reform League apparently are not inclined to enjoy their holiday. Now that the troublesome bill has actually been carried through both houses, and has received the Royal assent, they might, one would think, be inclined to let politics alone for awhile. But they possess so much redundant energy that they feel themselves capable not only of putting their own country in order, but of regulating the affairs of other nations. They are willing not only to assistLordDEßnv, or, if need be, Mr. GLADSTONE, in managing the business of Great Britain, but they are quite ready to give the benefit of their opinions to King VICTOR EMMANUEL and his Cabinet. Just now they are determined to_make the weight of their displeasure felt abroad, and accordingly a public meeting was held last evening at St. James's Hall, under the presidency of Mr. EDMUND BEALES, for the purpose of express ing their sympathy with GARIBALDI, and their indignation at his imprisonment. The speeches were all to this effect, and were more or less vehement. Ricciom GARIBALDI was among the speakers, and was, of course, listened to with deep interest and attention, as his own reputation and his father's fame deserved. But we may remind the Leaguers that the position of the Italian Government is a difficult and a critical one, and that, in pursuance of the principles of liberty and toleration which they so loudly profess, they should be a little less ready in their wholesale denunciations of persons at a dis tance, who are acting from motives which they are unable to understand, and amid circumstances with which they are totally unfamiliar. It is too much the habit of the present day to show our own wisdom and liberty by abusing every one else, and the Reformers of London will not benefit the cause of oppressed nationalities, nor raise their own re putation for political sagacity by embroiling them selves with every one who does not think, speak, and act exactly after their pattern. and precision that they are very useful for purposes where large and complicated machinery is not re quired. It is said that the motive power is the most economical yet produced. The origin of these little vertical machines is rather remarkable. The inventor of them had long been endeavouring to solve the problem of aerial navigation, and his researches were devoted to the endeavour to discover a motive power at once light, powerful, and occupying little space. The boiler has all the accessories of a large steam engine, but reduced to the smallest possible dimen sions. This was the first idea which led to the construction of these vertical portable machines, which are now employed with great advantage and economy. During the work of restoration in the church of St. Graville, Sainte Honorine, near Havre, a sarco phagus has been discovered, and, from the researches made by the Abbe Cochet, inspector of historical and religious monuments of the Seine Inferieur, there is no doubt that here was the tomb of Sainte Honorine, the patroness saint of the church. The form of the coffin does not present any of the types of the middle age, and from the character of the stone and other circumstances it is believed to be of the 4th or sth century, and, consequently, confirma tory of the tradition that this tomb is that of Sainte Honorine. Accounts from Boulogne-sur-Mer state that the herring fishery has been very successful on several days lately. According to the Belgian papers there is now no doubt that the cattle disease has manifested itself at the Garden of Acclimatation at Liege. The garden has been placed under a sort of quarantine, and every precaution has been adopted. Considerable excitement wag produced in Paris last June by the discovery of a mutilated body. The head was found near St. Denis, and the trunk in the canal St. Martin. The mutilated remains have been minutely examined, and have been iden tified by his son, as those of a farmer named Dugue, who resided at Meux. The police have also dis covered that the deceased had been to sell some hay at St Denis, and that be had been in company with a man named Charles Armain, who is supposed to have murdered and then robbed him. Armain has been taken into custody, and will be tried for the murder at the next aassizes of La Seine. PARIS, Tuesday Evening. The letters from Florence state that, notwith standing the removal of Garibaldi, the Italian Government intends to continue its precautions to prevent any insurrectional attempt against the Pontifical frontiers. The German papers mention that the committee of the Nationalverein at their last sitting decided upon submitting to the next general assembly, the period for the meeting of which is not yet fixed, the question of the dissolution of the Nationalverein. It appears that Garibaldi was liberated by the Italian Government without any conditions, as will be seen by the following letter from him addressed to the director of the Movinzento on his passage through Genoa : " Genoa, Sept. 27, 1867. "In the citadel of Alessandria the offer was made to me to go in full liberty to Caprera, and without any conditions. To avoid all.equivocation, I beg you to publish this.—Faithfully yours, " G. GARIBALDI." Various manifestations were made in favour of Garibaldi at Genoa before his embarkation for Caprera. They are, however, to be considered rather as demonstrations of personal feeling than as marks of sympathy with the foolish expedition he was about to attempt. There are papers here, however, which affect to believe that the arrest of Garibaldi at Sinalunga is not to be considered as a check upon the efforts of those revolutionists who think it possible that they will be able to bring about the overthrow of the temporal power of the Pope. The journals, whose information is to be relied upon, treat such a consummation as impos sible. The splendid mausoleum erected to the memory of the Duke de Morny in the cemetery of Pero Lachaise is just fiuished. It is a beautiful and very artistic monument. The architect is M. Viollet Le Duc, and it was constructed by M. Victor Lemaine. It is situated on the western summit of the elevated ground which dominates over Paris, not far from the tombs' of Casimir Delavigne, the poet, and Honore de Balzae. The tomb is surrounded by a small garden filled with beautiful flowers. The environs of Fontainebleau are again in excitement. Very near to the spot where Madame Mertens was murdered there has been another murder. A dead body has been discovered in a state of decomposition and much devoured by in sects. It has been identified as that of an inhabi- ,ant of Fontainebleau, who had been missing for some weeks. The deceased is known to have gone out with a watch and chain, money, and jewellery, the possession cf which was, no doubt, the motive of the robbery. Vice-Admiral the Marquis du Bouzet, whose death was recently announced, was one of the sur vivors of the last voyage of Dumont d'Urville to the South Pole. H e made many long voyages. At twenty years old he had made a sea voyage of four years, and a voyage round the world under the orders of M. Bougainville. In d'Urville's expedi tion he had the second command. His naval skill and nautical knowledge were so appreciated by M. d'Urville that the great navigator wished to ap point him his successor.in his projected important voyages of discovery, and he was making further preparations for another expedition when Death selected him for a victim. The Vice-Admiral had made voyages of discovery or in aid of science t o the Brazil; a lth oug h ho passed much of hi s lif e i n the South Sea. He also rendered much service to commerce. It was he who founded the first establishment in New Caledonia. The Emperor conferred the Legion of Honour upon him. His great passion was study and travel. There is an exhibition here,which, if not an agree able one, is at all events very wonderful. A tribe of 26 persons, male and female, from Algeria, called the Aissa Houas, are to be seen at the Athletic Arena in the Rue Lepelletier, who go through some strange performances, mystic dances, eating fire and swallowing serpents. The tantams boat monoton ously during a curious ballet. One of these young Arabs puts a large piece of burning charcoal in his mouth and crunches it with his teeth. A piece which fell down burnt a hole in the floor, so there is no deception. A large piece of window glass was given to another, which crumbled in his teeth, and was eaten with voracity. The teeth of the fire eaters are burnt and the gums calcined. While they eat the fire they make horrible contortions. A box of adders was brought in. An Arab selected one, and while the irritated reptile put out its sting he first bit off its head and then ate it all. You could hear the noise of the eater's teeth, and the blood ran upon his lips. The music of the tantams and kettle drums accompanied this epicurean feast. There are other similar things to be seen, but this perhaps is enough of them. The name of Aissa Houha, according to " The Dictionary of the Nineteenth Century," is given in Algeria to men who eat ser pents and pass for sorcerers. They also form a Mussulman religious order, founded by Sidi Aissa. Among the notabilities now in Paris is Prince Augustus Cosme Iturbide, a man about 40, the son of the Emperor Augustus the First, who for a time occupied the throne of Mexico, and whose career was terminated in the same unpleasant manner as that of the Emperor Maximilian. The price of bread has risen three times within the last six weeks in Paris, although all the bakers did not take advantage of the last rise, which oc curred a few days ago. The subject is beginning to create much interest in Paris, because some fears have existed of a scarcity of wheat. During the first ten days of September the importation of wheat and flour into France rose to 187,243 metrical quintals, whilst the exportation of the same articles was only to the extent of 7,118 metrecal quintals. From this fact it ensues that from the Ist to the 10th of September the importations of corn exceeded the exportations by more than 18 millions of kilo grammes (a kilogramme is 211)s.), which circum stance must necessarily have an influence upon the price of bread. The excise duty levied upon corn or flour coming into Paris is the fifth of a sou per kilogramme. A Paris literary and scientific journal devotes considerable space to a searching summary of the most remarkable objects exhibited, both French and foreign, and it may be satisfactory to your readers who have relied upon the humble but impartial judgment which I have formed of them from time to time to learn that they entirely confirm my appreciations. Due credit is given to the wonderful progress made by English manufacturers in many branches, but at the same time it is proved to demonstration by the awards of the juries, and the opinions of the French press generally, that France has maintained her superiority in regard to costly articles of taste and luxury, such as furniture, jewellery, china, and crystal products, and clock and watch machinery. Au unusual number of articles have been written by men of acknowledged mechanical skill to prove that French watches have overcome the prejudice once entertained against them, and that the leading watchmakers, of whom M. Detouche is acknowledged head, can produce a good watch, perfect in every respect, at as cheap, if not a cheaper rate, than any manufacturers in Europe. The Geneva watches are now good, but Paris watches are better. The weather is again gloomy and stormy, and the cold north wind seems determined to maintain its unpleasant ascendancy.

President Fornerod has retired from the Swiss Federal Council, and is about to undertake the post of chairman of the Swiss Credit Mobilier at THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. THE REV. ALFRED BARRY TO THE RESCUE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,--In the letter which appeared in the Times last week on the Pugin and Barry controversy, signed " Alfred Barry," there are two points so curious as coming from such a source as to make it worth while at least to take note of them. The first point is the reckless and most unbecoming manner in which the rev. gentleman not only throws out imputations against Mr. E. W. Pugin, but endeavours, by an artful juxtaposition of the witnesses on both sides of the controversy, to con vey an imputation which he dare not openly state against the antecedents and character of Mrs. Mares. Mrs. Mares is in truth a most damaging witness against Sir Charles Barry. She can speak of her own knowledge of many of the facts contained in the suppressed correspondence between Sir Charles Barry and the late Mr. Pugin, and she is also in a position to give the true history of the letter of 1845, in which, solely to save Sir Charles Barry's credit, Mr. Pugin disclaimed the ownership of designs which he had sold to Sir Chas. Barry for a sum of money, and for the glory, as Sir Charles phrased it, of esta blishing Gothic architecture in England. Such a witness is, no doubt, inconvenient to the three Messrs. Barry, but that is not a right reason why imputations without a tittle of evidence should be thrown out against the character of Mrs. Mares. These unworthy imputations against Mrs. Mares and against Mr. E. W. Pugin himself —lmplied rather than stated—are as cowardly as they are untrue, for were they boldly stated the writer could be called upon either to substantiate or retract them. The second remarkable point in the Rev. Mr. A. Barry's letter is the confession that Sir Chas. Barry retained letters which were lent to him, and refused to return them to the rightful owner because they might " compromise living persons and existing firms." Ilabonus con fitentem reum. The public, 1 imagine, will draw its own conclusions from the retention of the famous 76 letters by Sir C. Barry; at all events they cannot help being struck by the fact that on one side in this controversy there is an eager and reiterated demand for the production of every scrap of evidence referring to the matter under dispute, and on the other a manifest desire to sup press every document, every letter in the voluminous correspondence between Mr. Pugin and Sir Charles Barry which could by any possibility throw light upon the controversy as to who was in reality the architect of the Houses of Parliament. I am, sir, yours, &c., DELTA. The New Process for Making Chlorine. Both Mr. Isham Baggs and Mr. Walter Weldon continue, at considerable length, in the Mining Journal of Saturday last, the correspondence in which they are now setting forth their rival claims to the credit of being the Discoverer of the New Process of Making Chlorine. Not assuming to be expressly a scientific organ, like the Mining Journal, from which we extracted with due acknowledgment the two first letters of Mr. Baggs and Mr. Weldon, we regret that we cannot find room in our columns for the continuance of their correspondence further than by quoting here, from the Mining Journal of Saturday, the following P.S. to the letter of Mr. Isham Baggs—a postscript, as will be seen, con taining within it a letter and a testimonial The following letter and testimonial, which have been addressed to me, and which I now submit to the intelligence of your readers and the public generally, carry with them their own argument, and need no further remark from me : "Paper Mills, Ilford, Sept. 24.—1 n reply to your letter I have carefully read your article in the Mining Journal, of Sept. 14, on the new process for making chlorine, and I feel great pleasure in stating that I can bear witness to all the facts brought forward by you in reference to the sup posed new process. Ido hereby testify that at these very mills, which have been many years under my control, you have made great quantities of chlorine and bleach by the methods specified in your paper of the 14th inst. ; thatyon have used at different periods many tons of lime and other materials, and that you always employed the oxide of manganese so restored by you for making fresh chlorine. I am further aware that the same system was acted upon by you to a great extent at " The Tovil Upper Mills," Maidstone, and I am more than surprised to find that anyone , appearing to devote attention to suc h ma tt ers, cou ld t hi n k' of bringing forward as a new process what is already so well known. Several of my workmen gladly forward their corroborative evidence to the same effect. Their united testimony I have annexed.—THONlAS FAItRANDS." TESTIMONIAL.—We the undersigned hereby declare and bear witness that the statements contained in the letter of Mr. Isham Beggs, as published in the Mining Jonrnal of Sept. 14, are true and correct, relative to the manufacture of chlorine and bleach, and the continuous regeneration by him of the manganese, as precipitated by means of lime.— A. Gardner, engineer; James Tyas, engineer; George Church, engineer; W. H. Jinkins, boiler and bleacher; J. Barnes, engineer ; Thos. Church, boiler and bleacher—all of the Ilford Paper Mills. If this is not sufficient evidence to establish my claim to priority in this invention, I can readily obtain from the Tovil Upper Mills another batch of names whenever I am called upon.—ISHAM BAGGS. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Monday Evening. King Victor Emmanuel has returned to Florence, and the telegrams received from that city to-day announce that perfect tranquillity prevails through out the whole of the kingdom of Italy. As was supposed the Italian Parliament will meet in a very few days. The Government is well aware that under the present excited circumstances it is necessary to consult the representatives of the nation, to explain its conduct, and to lay before the Chamber the diplomatic correspondence which has been exchanged with the French Government. The Opposition, it is said, mean to propose a resolution to the effect that the arrest of Garibaldi was illegal, being contrary to article 45 of the fundamental statute, which declares the personal inviolability of its representatives. The Opposition deputies have also drawn up a collective letter, in which they invite the President of the Chamber, should he not have received a more direct communication, to inter vene with his personal authority with the responsible Ministers " to obtain the prompt reparation of an illegality which is calculated deeply to wound the national feelings." Some of the papers still believe that France will again interfere for the protection of the Pope, and that another French force will be sent to Rome. I do not think that the rumour is well founded, but yet the Journal des Debats, a journal of so much influence, seems to believe in it, for it argues that the convention of last September did not afford a solution of the difficulty, which has been much increased by recent circumstances. A letter from Nismes, dated Sept. 26, gives an account of the remarkable and terrible effects of the storm in that city, which was more daring than ever known in that locality. The account speaks of " avalanches" of chimneys and tiles from the roofs, and says that the streets were encumbered with bricks and fragments. In the neighbouring town of St. Gilles a Madame Bruginer was passing along the street when a portion of the façade of a house was precipitated upon her head, which broke her skull, and death ensued instantaneously. Great havoc has been made among the olive crops. In the machine gallery of the Exhibition is seen a vertical steam engine, partly gilt and partly plated with silver, so that at the same time it is handsome as will as curious. But the principal merit of this machine does not consist of its beauty. As a spe cimen of progress in this branch of industry it is curious, from the novelty of applying the motive power. It affords an interesting specimen of the various machines constructed by MM. Hermann, Lachapelle, and Co., and Charles Glover, many of which are to be seen in various parts of the Champ de Mars, of a horse power varying from oae to fifteen horses. Several of these machines are con stantly at work, and they form the motive power for hydraulic machines for manufacturing soda water, lemonade, and even for cutting diamonds. These machines occupy very little space, they are easily fixed, and they work with such regularity Geneva. THE PAPAL STATES. ROME, Oct. 1. The Giornale di Roma says :—" New bands of the insurgents have crossed the Papal frontier at Aqua pendente and other points in the province of Viterbo, and have exacted money and food from the inhabi tants. At Canino an armed band was discovered by the inhabitants early in the morning and put to flight. In other localities several of the insurgents have fallen into the hands of the troops, some o their number being killed. The town and entire province of Viterbo are tranquil. FLORENCE, OCt. 2. The Opinione publishes intelligence from the Pontifical frontier confirming the statement that several armed bands bad made their appearance in the province of Viterbo. One band of 80 insurgents recently surrounded Aguapendente, in the barracks of which town 40 gendarmes had taken refuge. Great agitation prevailed throughout Viterbo. INDIA. BOMBAY, Sept. 19 (via Trieste.) IL M. frigate Octavia has left for the Persian Gulf, in consequence of reported disturbances at Muscat. The new steam transport Euphrates arrived at Bombay on the 27th August, and leaves for Suez on the 12th inst. with stores and tents for the troops on their arrival in Egypt. A collision has taken place between a runaway locomotive and a passenger train on the Great India Peninsular Railway, resulting in the death of one passenger, the guard, and a native fireman. Two large bridges, over au unopened portion of he same railway between Kundwah and Hurdah have given way. A crack has been discovered in the largest viaduct at Hull Ghaut, and three other viaducts over the same Ghaut are in such a dangerous state that passengers have to leave the trains and walk across. Seventeen other bridges, over unopened portions of the Nagpore Extension of the Great India Pe ninsula Railway, have been condemned by the coln- pany's engineers. The cholera is still prostrating the armies in Afghanistan. Afzul Khan, the Ameer of Cabul, is 'reported to be one of its victims. The report, however, requires confirmation. ARRIVAL OF THE MALTA. QUEENSTOWN, Oct. 2. The Cunard extra steamship Malta, from New York, arrived here at 6.15 a.m. to-day, with 88 passengers. She landed 22 passengers, and de spatches, and proceeded for Liverpool at 6.30 a.m. All well. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Tuesday Night. The Lord-Lieutenant arrived in Belfast at half past 2 to-day. He was received with official honours by the municipal bodies, and by a large concourse of people. He drove, amid loud cheers, in an open carriage, at the head of a procession, to Belvoir-park, where addresses were presented to him. Along the whole route flags were displayed and triumphal arches were erected. Earl Russell arrived by the same train, and, after his Excellency had left, proceeded quietly to the Royal Hotel. Attempts were made to excite prejudice by post ing placards denouncing Earl Russell, but the police tore them down. The best feeling prevails throughout the city. FRANCE. BOURSE, Oct. 1, Two o'clock.—The settlement in French Rente is proceeding to-day very unfavour ably. The charge for carrying over is rather tight; there is a &port of 15c. or 20c. The market is very weak, and there is great perplexity. Three per Cents. are quoted at 68f. 60c., with a loss of 45c. Italian Fives are at 47f. 45c., with a decline of 85c.

He at once ordered the waterman to pull towards the man, who was hauled into the boat and taken on board her Majesty's paddle-wheel steamship Gladiator,where he received every attention from the assistant-surgeon. The rescued man turned oui to be William Bonetta, carpenter of the Topsy sm - veying steam-launch, who, in attempting to step from that vessel to a coal-hulk, had fallen unobserved into the water. When rescued ho was in a most exhausted condi tion, and must have speedily perished but for the timely twsistauce rendered him. A 6 it was, it was several hours before he recovered saleiontly to be in a condition to be conveyed tQ his laypaQ in, a cab, PRINCESS"S IHEAT.RE. The revival of Mr. Boucicault's clever Irish melo drama, with all its original effects, has been received with so much favour that a " second run" for an unlimited number of nights may fairly be calculated upon. The cast varies but slightly from the original one—the most notable change being that of the O'Grady, who is now represented by the spirited lessee himself. Mr. Vining throws a good deal of gentlemanly humour into the part, and therefore the drama loses nothing by the change. Mr. and Mrs. Boucicault sustained their original parts of " Shaun and Arrah " with unabated spirit, and Mr. Dominick Murray also reappears in the part of Feeny, the process-server, a character that enabled him to claim a very prominent place in the theatrical profession. In place of the song " Wearing of the Green," which circumstances have rendered bjectionable at the present time, Mr. Boucicault sings, with great spirit, the " Shan Van Vocht," and altogether the piece "goes" as briskly an d well as it did on the first night of its performance. We believe that the various novelties Mr. Vining has in hand will prevent the representation of " Arrah-na-Pogue" for any lengthened period, so that those who wish to see one of the best Irish pieces that has been performed on the metropolitan stage must, without the slightest delay, embrace the present opportunity. Good fortune still seems the handmaiden of Mr. Vining, as the theatre is nightly crowded to overflowing. AMATEUR THEATRICALS.—The Alexandra Dra matic Class have just given a performance at the Poly graphic Hall, which went off with the greatest success. The pieces selected wore "Charles the Second," "Mrs. White," and " The Wandering Boys." The students who respectively supported the characters in each gave general satisfaction to a very crowded audience. Although it is un usual to point out particular persons for praise where all do their best, yet we must, by way of encourage ment, compliment Mr. A. J. Bailey for his capital performance of the part of Peter White in the farce succeeding the comedy. It was, for an ama teur, very cleverly done, and deserved the applause it called forth. Miss Beatrice, as Mrs. White, also acted very well in the same piece, and had Miss Vailleur thrown a little more spirit in the telling part of Widow White she would have shared the applause the performance of the farce elicited. Mr. F. Scott had a great deal to do, as he appeared in all three pieces, and, with a little more training, ho will bo quite up to the business of leading old men. A word to Mr. Wilson, in regard to dressing, may perhaps be useful for the future—it looks exceedingly bad, where it is thought desirable to "make up" fair to allow the natural ;lark hair to peep from beneath a false flaxen wig and whiskers. THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION IN HOLBORN.— The bandsman, M'Donnoll, who was wounded, as is sup posed, by a Fenian assassin, and who lies at University Hospital, was stated, on inquiry this morning, to have passed a good night, and to a great extent may be said to be better, although it has not yet been thought proper to announce him as out of danger. The fact of his having been allowed to see some persons, amongst them his mother, who visited him yesterday afternoon, may be taken as a favourable indication of his condition. OPENING OF A PUBLIC PARK AT BRECHIN.—A finely laid-out public park, originated by a legacy of £2OO by the late Mr. Garden Mitchell, Edinburgh, to the city of Brechin, with a contribution of £lOO from the Earl of Dal housie, and a grant of eight acres of the Caldhame fenB, and aided, too, by general subscriptions to the amount of above £1,200, was opened at Brechin by the Earl of Dal- Louie on Saturday afternoon. •,* tv. 9N rt tir r HER MAJESTY.

TO 7HE EDIT OR OF THE SUN. - - SIR,—We are desired by the Archbishop of Can. terbury to send the enclosed address for publication in The Sun.

We are, Sir, your obedient servants, BURDEN AND DUNNING, Secretaries to the Archbishop. 27, Parliament-street, 'Westminster, S.W., Sept. 28. " To THE FAITHFUL IN CHRIST JESUS, THE PRIESTS AND DEACONS, AND TIIE LAY MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IN COMMUNION WITH THE ANGLICAN BRANCH OF THE CHURCH CATHOLIC,—. " We, the undersigned Bishops, gathered under the good providence of God for prayer and con ference at Lambeth, pray for you that ye may obtain grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. " We give thanks to God, brethren beloved, for the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love towards the Saints, which hath abounded among you; and for the knowledge of Christ which through you bath been spread abroad among the most vigorous races of the earth. And with one mouth we make our supplications to God even the Father, that by the power of the Holy Ghost He would strengthen us with His might, to amend among us the things which are amiss, to supply the things which are lacking, and to reach forth unto higher measures of love and zeal in worshipping Him, and in making known His name ; and we pray that in His good time he would give back unto His whole Church the blessed gift of unity in Truth. " And now we exhort you in love that ye keep whole and undefiled the Faith once delivered to the Saints, as ye have received it of the Lord Jesus. We entreat you to watch and pray, and to strive heartily with us against the frauds and subtleties wherewith the Faith bath been aforetime and is now assailed. " We beseech you to hold fast as the sure word of God all the canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testament, and that by diligent study of these oracles of God, praying in the Holy Ghost, ye seek to know more of the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour, whom they reveal unto us, and of the will of God which they declare. " Further, we entreat you to guard yourselves and yours against the growing superstitions and addi tions with which in these latter days the truth of God hath been overlaid ; as otherwise, so especially by the pretension to universal sovereignty over God's heritage asserted for the See of Rome ; and by the practical exaltation of the blessed Virgin Mary as mediator in the place of her, Divine Son, and by the addressing of prayers to her as intercessor between God and man. Of such beware, we beseech you, knowing that the jealous God giveth not His honour to another. " Build yourselves up therefore, beloved, in your most holy faith ; grow in grace and in the know. ledge and love of Jesus Christ our Lord. Show forth before all men by your faith, self-denial, purity, and godly conversation, as well as by your labours for the people among whom God hath so widely spread you, and by the setting forth of His Gospel to the unbelievers and the heathen, that ye are indeed the servants of him who died for us to reconcile His Father to us, and to be a sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. " Brethren beloved, with one voice we warn you ; the time is short ; the Lord cometh ; watch and be sober. Abide steadfast in the communion of saints wherein God hath granted you a place. Seek in faith for oneness with Christ in the blessed sacrament of His body and blood. Hold fast the Creeds, and the pure worship and order, which of God's grace ye have inherited from the Primitive Church. Be ware of causing divisions contrary to the doctrine ye have received. Pray and seek for unity among your selves, and among all the faithful in Christ Jesus, and the good Lord make you perfect, and keep your bodies, souls, and spirits until the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Her stay, therefore, will probably be somewhat longer than was at first anticipated Their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess of Prussia, who aro expected to arrive in this country within the next few days, will, it is understood take up their residence at Buckingham Palace, where their Royal Highnesses, it is expected, will remain till the re turn of the Queen from Scotland.
