From Lisbon we learn the return of the United States steamer Wasp from Paraguay to Montevideo, Iv ith Mr. W as hb urn , th e A mer i can Mi n i s t er , on bo ard, by whom, it is added, an energetic note had b een addressed to Lopez, the Paraguayan Presi dent, with regard to his " atrocities." This ap- Pears to confirm the previous news of Lopez having violated the United States' Legation at Asuncion, vvhence he was alleged to have taken 40 persons I tho had sought the protection of the American flng. Our letters from Brazil state that excitement has b een Created at Rio by an order from Viscount Itaborahy, the Prime Minister, to stop all despatches ill the Custom-house until further notice. The reason of this measure is that information has been given to the Government, it is supposed from Man chester, that certain exporting houses were in the habit of defrauding the Customs by packing their goods falsely, the method adopted being the old one of packing valuable articles in the centre of a bale, and outwardly enveloped in merchandise of an ordinary character, and liable to low duties. Should the offence be established against the par ties implicated, it may be expected to be dealt With severely, Viscount Itaborahy having the re 1311tation of being stern and sensitive on all questions Of honour. The Dunaburg and Witepsk Railway Company h ave been informed that the Emperor of Russia has sanctioned the plan of the company for the reduc tion of the shares from £lOO to £BO, for the sub nision of the shares, and for the issue of shares t o bearer at the option of the shareholders. The news of the withdrawal of the steamers running between New York and San Francisco, in s vPPosition to the steamers of the Pacific Mail t ealnship Company, has been confirmed. The ra tes for con ve y ance of passengers, &c., between tho se points, which during the opposition have been el eessively low, have now been restored to their 11411a1 amount.

General Hooker has been placed upon the list of retired officers with full rank, in consequence of dis ability caused by wounds and sickness. Advices from Cuba state that 200 insurgents at Las Tunas have been dispersed by the troops of the Captain-General. At Hayti Salnave continues gaining ground owing to dissensions in the ranks of the Cacos rebels at Seadus. (Per the City of London, via Queenstown.) NEW YORK, Oct. 17, Noon. The final returns from tha late elections in Nebraska show a Republican majority of 2,000 votes. Gen. Morgan, Democrat, who was ousted by the Republicans during last Session of Congress, has been re-elected to sit for Ohio. Mr. Belmont, and other members of the National Dc ntratic Committee of New York, have pub lished a card, declaring any change of the Demo cratic candidates for the Presidency to be utterly impracticable. The same view is generally and strongly taken by the Democratic press. A party of disguised men seized the steamer Hesper on the Mississippi River below Memphis, and threw overboard 4,000 stand of arms, which had been intended for arming the negroes of Arkansas. The party then escaped into the woods. WESTON'S MUSIC HALL. Last night Mr. Sweasey commenced his winter season ; and whilst various novelties have been secured, for the amusement of his patrons, their per sonal comfort has been well cared for. The pro prietor has done away with the sawdust, and in place of which has carpetted the entire hall, which gives it a peculiarly comfortable and cozy appearance. Another great feature at this very excellent place of entertainment is that the visitor may be certain to hear really gool music well per formed, both vocal and instrumental, a matter not of ordinary occurrence at music halls generally. Mr. Corrie, the musical director, wisely gives the audience two of the finest overtures, and then fol lows a programme selected from the works of the most celebrated composers. Vincent Wallace's works were selected for illustration last evening, and the talented director and Miss Tremaine sang some of the gems of melody from his very success ful opera of "Maritana." The audience were highly pleased and expressed their delight in the loudest applause. Mr. Lascelles is a very sweet ballad singer, and the sisters Lelia and Florence Ellis, two most accomplished comedians, were more than usually good in their performances last night. The comic portion of the entertainment is well sustained by Mr. F. French, Mr. E. Clarke, and the sisters Bullen. Mr. Rennolf, the baritone, sang some very good songs, and here we wished we could have stopped, but for the honour of an encore for "A Pirate's Life for Me," he gave to the company a ridiculously vulgar song, supposed to be comic, but which was, in fact, a vile libel on the industrious class mentioned. Mr. Rennolf will not increase his reputation by singing such positive rubbish, that he may rely upon. Mr. Sweasey has to a degree consulted the tastes of all his patrons by securing the services of two athletes, who go through their performances in the most graceful manner ; but this is the only illegitimate performance of the evening. Everything is done excellently and well at Weston's, and a better even ing's entertainment cannot be had than that now provided by the spirited proprietor. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 251.220. per £1 sterling On comparing these rates with the English Mint price £3 hia. 10ad. per ounce for standard gold, It appears that gold is about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than Paris. DEATH OF MR. FREDERIC DICKeNS.--On Friday morning the sod closed over the dust of Frederic William Dickens, latest surviving brother of Mr. Charles Dickens. Mr. Frederic Dickens—who has re sided at Darlington during the last twelve months—had for three weeks before his death suffered from an abscess in the lung. On Sunday and Monday last he was con siderably better, and no danger was feared. About half past three o'clock on Tuesday morning, however, he became seriously ill, and died shortly after four o'clock. The geniality—it was something more to those who could see below the surface—of Mr. Dickens's nature, and his ready fund of humour and anecdote, will not readily be forgotten by those who knew him best, and liked him best.—Darlington Times. CRYSTAL PALACE.—A repetition of the success ful display of fireworks given on the 19th inst. takes place to-morrow (Wednesday) evening.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A DETERMINED GANG OF STREET MARAUDERS. —John Pre:2s, Henry Dean, and Maria Allen, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with loitering in the neighbourhood of Fitzroy-square, for an unlawful purpose. Police-constable Chamberlain, 163 E, said that on the previous night, about nine o'clock, while in the Euston-road with Carter 117 E, be saw the prisoner Press go behind an elderly gentleman, the other prisoners and two others not in custody, following them, and he then saw Press lift up the gentleman's coat tails and drop them. He followed the prisoner and the others into Fitzroy-square, where Allen went up to another elderly gentleman and spoke to him, upon which Pressw.dked up and asked the gentleman what he was doing with his wife. He replied that h. was doing nothing to the woman, and walked away, upon which one of the men called out, "There's nothing," and the whole of them went to the enclosure and stood under a tree in a dark part of the square, and Dean and Press then walked over, and after going into a doorway went and looked into a parlour window, and they then all went into Charlotte-street, where the pri soner Allen, who had caught sight of him, and Carter said, "Run, Sammy," meaning Press, and the prisoner and the others made off down Charlotte-street. After pursuing the prisoners some distance they succeeded in taking them into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked whether anything was known of the prisoners ? Police-constable Carter, 117 E, said he had known all the prisoners for eight years. Press was sent from that court in 1865 (for stealing a bag from a carriage) for one month; again in 1866 (for stealing 7 coats and a shawl) for six months ; in 1867 for three months at Marylebone, and for three months at Wandsworth for loitering, and in 1867 he was sentenced at the Central Cri minal Court to 12 months' bard labour for assault ing a postman, named Good red, and attempting to steal the mail; and he had also been charged with breaking into Percy Chapel, but acquitted All had been sentenced to two months' imprison ment for shoplifting. Ile had heard that Dean had suffered three months' imprisonment for loiter ing, and he was a constant companion of the pri soner Press, and was in the habit of going to dif ferent prisons to meet prisoners on the expiration of their sentences. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoners for three months each with hard labour. WESTMINSTER. THE DEVIL'S TENIPTATION.—Frederick Mullean, Evans, a young man well dressed, was charged with stealing money from his mother, a poor woman with a farni,y. The mother said she went out charring and mind ing houses while the families were away.. On Sun day night she left her home for the latter purpose, returning on Monday, when she found she had been robbed of £2 10s. Her drawers had been broken open, and the money, which was all that she had, taken. The prisoner, who had been there, was gone. Mr. Arnold—Have you ever had cause to com plain of his robbing you ? Prosecutrix—Yes, I have. Ho robbed me in July last of £1 ls., and he was brought here, when you committed him for six weeks. lie said " the devil had hold of him" when he did it. Peter Smith, IG3 B, said I was near a boarding in Sloane-square last evening, when I saw the pri soner. I said, " Fred., I want you for stealing £2 10s. from your mother." lle said, " Yes ; the devil tempted me again, and I took it." I said, " You broke the drawers open with a chisel to get it," when he admitted that that was true, and I took him to the station. The poor mother said that, in addition to the money which had been stolen, the prisoner had taken a pair of boots belonging to his brother. Mr. Arnold remanded the primer. THAMES, A NEW THIEVES' KITCHEN.—Edwin Dobson, a beer seller, and landlord of the True Friends beer house in Charlotte-street, Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing 511bs. of black tea, the property of some person or persons unknown. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, defended the prisoner. James Briden, a detective officer, No. 4 K, was passing along Charlotte-street, Whitechapel, yes terday afternoon, and saw the prisoner leave his house with a parcel wrapped up in an old news paper under his arm, and immediately enter the shop of an oil and colourman next door. The parcel was put into a scale and weighed, and then placed behind the counter. Briden went to the shop and took possession of the parcel, which he found behind some galvanised pints. He then went into the True Friends beerhouse in which were thieves. Ile asked the prisoner what the parcel contained, to which he replied soda. He observed that soda was a curious thing for beersellers to deal in, and opened the parcel. It contained sflbs. of good black tea. He asked the prisoner to account for it, and he said, " It is not my business to ac count for it." At the station-house the prisoner said, "I'll take you to the man I bought it off." He said, " Give me his name and address, and I will go to him and ascertain whether he obtained it honestly." The prisoner said no more." The prisoner was then remanded. MARKET S-1 HiS DAY. HAY.

THE C DIVISION AND THE WEST-END NIGHT Ilousßs.—A report that the whole of the C division of Metropolitan Police is about to be transferred from Vine street to an East-end station is at least premature ; but the chief inquiries by the Chief Commissioner into alleged malpractices would seem to have resulted in the dis covery that complaint has not been made without a cause. Three inspectors, one of whom is the well-known Inspec tor Silverton, and a sergeant, named Gordon, who has made some very notable appearances at various times in the witness-box, are to be sent into the east of London ; and yesterday the superintendent of the division was exa mined at ►sccrtland-yard. THE ARCHBISHOP OF ARMAGH ON THE IRISH CHURCH COMMISSION. The Primate or Ireland has made an addition to his charge on the Irish Church. He refers in it to theOrt of the Royal Commission. This document, whethei we regard the information it contains, the recommendaons'it proposes, or the authority of the names subscribed, must necessarily exercise a most important influence upon the interests and prospects of this branch of the Church. No ecclesiastic was selected as a member of the commission. It was entirely composed of laymen, and the noblemen and gentlemen who were chosen to discharge this duty repre sented in their political opinions the great parties into which the country is divided. It is impossible to question the im partiality of the tribunal before which the investigation has taken place. The perusal of the report will clearly show that the inquiry has been conducted with an anxious desire to ascertain the real facts with distinctness and accuracy. The result of the inquiry has been to confirm the statistical facts put forward from time to time by the friends of the Church, and to expose the exaggera tion of the statement so confidently published by her opponents. Looking to the great extent of country, and keeping in mind the policy' of providing, as ministers of religion, educated and independent men for such an extent, it is impossible to say that the Church in Ireland is either an overgrown or largely endowed establishment. Another matter which has appeared very clearly from the report is, that although there may exist some capitular bodies unnecessary, and which may properly be dispensed with, and perhaps some other matters which had their origin in the original consti tution of the ecclesiastical polity of the country that might be improved, yet there is nothing now existing that can be called an abuse arising from the management or conduct of its governors or ministers. Another proposition, which I think is established by the report, is, that after a severe scrutiny it has been shown that there are no overgrown fortunes in the individual ministers of the Church, and that it is entirely free from the reproach of pluralities. What the clergy individually are (with rare exceptions), in character, conduct, and exemplary disclirge of their duties, has been testified by their opponents, and by no one more freely than by Mr. Gladstone himself. If we are to fall, it ' is, then, for no default of duty, no reasonable objection to our ecclesiastical system, or to the constitution or condition of our Church. It is solely for external political causes and reasons. Of this consolation we can never be deprived. I cannot, however, part with the report of the commission without acknowledging—what, I trust, the clergy of this country feel—the disinterested and anxious exertions which the commissioners made to ascertain the real facts, and place them beyond controversy. Everyone who peruses the report will say that in the recommendations which have been offered the commissioners were actuated solely by the desire to propose what they conscientiously believed to be most judicious at the present momentous crisis. I must, however, express say anxious hope that in any legislation which may follow upon the report, the reduc tion of the number of bishops may be avoided. Further, I do not enter into its consideration, as I should be unwilling by minute criticism to weaken the effect of recommendations which, from the constitution of the commission, may be fairly taken to represent ;nttiligent lay opinions, both in England and Ireland. That the pro ceedings of such a commission should :lave been treated as of no importance, the information it - ‘:fts aquiriug as of no value, and, without waiting for the result, the disesta blishment and disendowment of the Church should be decided upon, is a melancholy instance of the operation of party spirit upon political conduct. It is one of the plainest principles of justice to hear the evidence before you give the verdict. DISTURBANCES AT ST. JAMES'S, BRIGHTON. An evening paper contains the following description of the services at Mr. Purchas' chapel on Sunday, and the row N%', :ch interrupted them :—" The procession had gone nearly r,;und tl=e church, the whole place being filled with the smoke cf the incense, when a man started up in one of the pews and held aloft what appeared to be a placard. Ho at the same time shouted out some remark, and wrs thought by those near him to be about to throw a book at Mr. Purchas's head. A rush was made at him, and instantly a scene of wild excitement and disorder was witnessed. The whole congregation arose and loft their pews, the priests and choristers ftsd precipitately to the altar, Mr. Purchas among them, and the man with the placard was seized by at least a score of hands. Tne doorkeepers and attendants seemed to be prepared for a disturbance of this kind ; for several of them hastened to their seats and brought out thick staves, with which they repaired to the pew where the fight was going on. Tho noise these men made and the cries of the people threw the whole congregation into an extraordinary state of agitation. There was rather a sharp struggle to get the man who b gan the disturbance out of the building. Ho resisted vigorously, clinging fast to the top of the pow in which he was seated, and crying at the top of his voice, "You brutes, let me go." At last ho was carried on men's shou'cle: s out of the place, and the police were sent for. The organ was played, and an attempt was made to resume the service ; but for some few minutes the effort was unsuccessful. Mr. Purchas kept whispering orders to his attendants, casting restless glances meanwhile round upon the congregation. Several ladies were taken from the chapel in a half faint ing condition, and the faces of the men were very white. The alarm and excitement were in fact ridiculous. It could only be accounted for by the fact that for weeks past the congregation have felt them selves liable to interrupt ons from an outside mob. This sense of danger had been so sharpened with the sligetest incident would have raised a tumult. The people could scarcely have shown greater uneasiness ou Sunday morn ing if they had been sitting over a powder magazine. There was then a great rush cf strangers from the place, and a young gentleman with a little cross on his back and rod vestments preached a sermon which was not much calculated to raise the spirits of his hearers. It was all about wounded affections, vanished joys, the cankerworm of care, and the blight of treachery and deceit. Tho preacher also offered a few gloomy remarks upon the malice of the world, and the fiendish cruelty of infidels—by which ho was under stood by some to refer to the lawless and unregenerate artists of Punch. After the excitement of the service this extremely depressing sermon seemed to fall on dull ears. A great crowd had assembled outside to receive Mr. Purchas, but he prudently waited until they had dispersed. Whatever may be Mr. Purchas's theory of his service, a more uncomfortable morning at church is not often experienced than that which ho has prepared for his followers. In the evening a great number of the regular attendants, as well as some hundreds of strangers, found themselves shut out of the chapel alto gether. The incident of the morning was spread abroad in the town in a variety of exaggerated and absurd forms, and the result was, notwithstanding the pouring rain, a considerable mob gathered round the building. The doors wore shut before the regular hour of ser vice and guarded by the police. Without, a little crowd of boys yelled and shouted, much to the disturbance of the service, no doubt ; and if the rain had not befriended Mr. Purchas matters might have been much worse. It is but too probable that the peace of the town will bo broken ere long if some modificatiod of the service isnot made. THE NEW CHANCELLOR Of NORWICH.—It is un derstood that Dr. Deane, Q.C., will be the new Chancellor of Norwich, vacant by the lamentable death of Mr. Evans, who was recently thrown from his horse. MORE OUTRAGES IN IRELAND.—Mr. Arthur Foster, of Belle Isle, county Donegal, writes to the Dublin Express giving an account of an outrage on the Belfast Junction line. After the two p.m, train on Saturday had passed the BoyneViaduct, a shot was fired at it which broke the glass of the window at which he was sitting, m a ki ng a small hole such as a pistol .shot would leave. There was a clergyman of the Established Church and another gen tleman sitting opposite to him at the time. The person who fired escaped. A telegram has been received from Cork to the effect that twenty-five men entered the house of Mr. Wigmore, a gentleman farmer, near Middleton, on Monday night, and seized several guns and pistols. MR. DISRAELI AT CIILTRCH.—An amusing inci dent occurred in :connection with the Premier's recent visit to Balmoral in attendance on her Majesty. In the Scotch Church the collection is still made with the " ladle" —a system which is perhaps opposed to voluntary contri butions, and gives rather a practical turn to benevolence. Mr. Disraeli, unaware of this, and being wrapt up in meditations on the connection between Church and State, appeared to have nothing wherewith to support the Establishment. This being noticed by one of the ladies of the Court, who sat next him, she very readily offered Mtn a coin. The great man now understood what was required of him, and, refusing the coin, began fumbling in all his pockets for his purse, which he at last found, and from it extracted a donation. By this, however, the ladle was on its way down the seat again ; but with that ingeniousness for which Mr. Disraeli is remarkable, he handed the money to his neighbour, who in turn, handed it on, in the hope of reaching the retreating money-box. Along one seat it went, up another, down the next, but without success ; and the last holder, seeing the hopelessness of the pursuit, returned it to him whc gave it. Back it came slowly along its way, until it reached the Premier, who up to this time had remained immovable, and unconscious of its fate, while all eyes it the congregation seemed watching the scene. When ii was handed to him, he looked at the coin for a moment, gave ono of his peculiar miles, coolly put it back to hit puree, and pocketed the wouey,—Nentrose /Wig' ,%.,- .• • HARROW RACES—Tms DAY.

In order to prevent the recurrence of the dis graceful scenes which have happened in the vicinity of the Nore among the hordes of boatmen who frequent its shores and take forcible possession of wrecks that have occurred there, the Admiralty was applied to on Saturday morning to despatch au armed vessel to the spot from Sheerness. The ap plication was at once acceded to, and the dockyard authorities were telegraphed to forthwith. About two o'clock in the afternoon a war steamer reached the scene of the wreck, and found a large flotilla of boats all at work on the sunken vessel. They were instantly ordered off, and the steamer took charge of the wreck until the arrival of Captain Boulton, the surveyor of Lloyd's Salvage Associa tion, who had been sent down by the underwriters. During the greater portion of Saturday and Sun day it blew a strong gale from the south, with heavy rain ; notwithstanding, riggers were at once employed in dismantling the ship, and divers went down, who in the course of the day sent up a large quantity of goods and packages from the main hold. The divers are sanguine that they will be enabled to get up the greater bulk of the cargo, which is valued at about £30,000. This in all probability may not occupy more than three or four days, when steps will be taken to raise the ship. She lies in about eight fathoms of water, on the edge of a bank two miles E.S.E. of the Nore lightship. The North Star steamer, after landing the shipwrecked people at Gravesend on Saturday afternoon, had orders to immediately proceed on her voyage, but while getting under weigh she was stopped, and seized by a warrant from the Admi ralty. The posirion of most of the passengers has excited much sympathy. Many of them are almost in a destitute condition, and as the North Star is not liable for damages beyond her own value, £8 10s. per ton (her register tonnage not being more than 700), the prospects of the passengers recover ing anything approaching the value of property lost is ,•ery small. Mrs. Tone appears to be one of the chief sufferers ; she is a widow, and had with her three children, two daughters and one son, all under 15 years of age. One of the girls had not even time to seize her clothes; all she had on was her night clothes, a piece of blanket, and a pair of sailor's boots, which one of the crew had lent her. Alto gether Mrs. Tone's loss is estimated at about £BOO. At present nothing has been heard of her black leather bag, containing her valuables and £l2O in bank notes. She distinctly recollects having it in her hand up to the time of the lifeboat coining alongside of the North Star, and she was the last person to leave the boat ; and fearing that the sailors would not be able to lift her on board with the bag in her possession, she laid it in the bottom of the boat, and on reaching the deck of the North Star, asked for the bag to be handed up, but the only reply she got was, " Oh, never mind your bag ; you have got your life." Whether it remained in the boat, or was thrown overboard, as some one on board the North Star said it had, it is impossible to -con jecture.
