THE UNITED STATES.

By the snivel of the Arago at Southampton (as
announced in the Express of yesterday) we bare far-
thee intelligence from New York to the 23rd ult.
The news both from Washington and from %snags
is of an exciting character.
The Senate and House of Representatives re.sesem
bled respectively on the 21st ult., end it soon ap-
peared that their mutual antagonism was more de-
cided than before 'the adjournment. This fact is
shown even more strongly in the temper of the
assemblies than in their several votes. The excite-
ment at the capital is becoming intense. Telegraphic
messages have been sent off in all directions recalling
the absentees, and the arrival of every train brings
accessions to the strength of both parties. The re-
publican members continue to realm despatches in
which they are exhorted to stand firm. General
Cass has declared his deliberate opinion that "the
days of the republio are numbered."
The Washington Intelliceneer contemplates with
dismay the ernosequeness which would remelt from a
second and final failure to provide means for the sup-
port of the army.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald says that those who profess to have a right
to speak my that the President will take the re-
sponsibility to use the public money, end pay the
army, if Congress still refuses to vote supplies.
Others, however, believe that he will in such ease
all the Coerces together again. The critical state
of the army is emery where discussed.
Than are 1,200 troops now in Kansas. If they
are not to be paid, they will desert and take sides in
the reseal turmoil. With arms in their hands,
they will take =re to provide for themselves as they
best can—by plunder, sad by such pay as they can
obtain from either party to the fend.
A Washington correspondent writing on the 22nd
says:

ROMAN STATES.

A letter from Anoona of the 26th August states
that the Austrians are fortifying that place, having
just erected a new covered battery below the light-
house of the harbour, and having brought some new
pieces of artillery to be placed on the existing forti-
fications. This &as not look as if the Austrian oc-
cupation were intended to cease within a short time.

160,0001.) involves the necessity of winding vp,*aless
two-thirds of the st.sreholders be foes& w4lbete to
take the business off the hands of the other third, to
the satisfaction of the latter. Now, there is unhap-
pily no doubt whatever that the losses stunned by
the bank amount to considerably more then 26 per
cent. of the paid-up capital; and it seems highly im-
probable that any arrangement can be arrived
at for the resuscitation of the bank through the exer-
done of the larger shareholders. It them becomes
petty certain that the bank most be wound up.
With this view the directors might be empowered in
a public, legal meeting to dissolve and liquidate the
company, making such calls upon the proprietary as
may be requisite. It is feared, however, that this
course will not answer The shareholders will not be
disposed to implicitly trust a board under whose
management the present calamity has occurred, sod
with whose sanction a dividend was distributed en
Os very eve of the bank's suspension. Moreover
it would always be in the power of dissentient credi:
tors to invoke the intervention of the Court of
Chancery. Upon the whole, it is apprehended that
the liquidation of the undertaking will only be
effected through the agency of the Joint-Stock Com-
panics Winding-up Act. This proms, we fear, will
involve considerable delay and ineonvenionoe to the
depositors. The prospects of the depositors, how-
ever, are considered decidedly preferable to those of
the shareholders, who, it seems established, will cer-
tainly be required to pay a heavy call, either under
authority of the directors or of the Court of
Chanoery.
It will be seen from our report of the proceedings
in the Court of Bankruptcy to-day that a petition
has already been filed against the bank. Probably
this court will not take cognisance of the winding-up
of an incorporated bank ; but the application in
question may prove the first of a series of proceedings
ultimately conducting the company into the Court of
Chanoery.
It is stated that the embarrassments of the bank
were in great measure occasioned by heavy advances
made by it on security of the Cefn coal and iron
works, situate in South Wales. These works, it will
be remembered, were originally the property of the
Galvanised Iron Company, which is now in course of
winding up. The advances of the bank, however,
were not made to this company, but to individuals
into whose possession the works in question subee-
quint', came.

NAPLES.
VIENNA, Sur. 3.
The Ost ZonateAd Post announces that a fresh note
has been addressed by the Neapolitan government to
those of France and England, in order to do away
with the unfavourable impression produced by the
former one. Aocording to the same juror!, M.
Brenier, the French ambassador at Naples, wu almost
satisfied with It, and the mission of m Hubner has,
it is said, been postponed.

PIEDMONT.

The bishops of Piedmont, esveral months ago, ad-
dressed divers questions to the See of Rome, concern-
ing the course they were to pursue with regard to the

ow oeclosisotioal legialatiOn of Sardinia: The an-

ewers of the Famed Penitentiary of Rome bear the
date of the sth of July lut, and were not intended
for publication ; a circumstance, however, which has
not drerred the Cittadino d deli from giving them
verbatim. The first question, whether those who by
either ward or deed c: operated in the framing or
execution of the law of May 29, 1866, for the
suppression of monastic establishments, are fit
p:reons to act as sponsors in the ceremonies of bap-
tism and 000firmation, is solved es follows:—By the
Extravagant ad evitenda of Pope Martin V., the
feitbfal are not bound to avoid au excommunicated
individual, unless the sentence or censure have been
officially published; but the excommunicated person
incurs further censure, if he joins the faithful in
any religious exercise. To the second question, as
to whether the parish priest can merry persons
under ecolesie-tical censure, unless they prove that
they have obtained absolution, it is replied, that
the priest ought first to insist upon the excom-
municated person'. seeking absolution for his of-
fence; but that should his efforts prove vain, and the
parties run the risk of scandalous exposure if the
ceremony be deferred, he may, with the conssnt of
the bishops, celebrate the marriage. For an answer
to the third question, relating to burials of excom-
municated persons in consecrated ground, the bishops

are referred to the best writers on cnlesiastical
jurisprudence. To the fourth question—whether

absolution may be granted to suck u have
bought eceesiastical property from the govern-
ment, or rented it, it is replied, that in case of
real repentance, such persons may receive absolution
on condition of their F:rforming a proper penance.
Moreover, the faithful in Christ may obtain indul-
gence to pun:the-a church pror:rty, or retain such as
they have already bought, provided: first, they keep
such property at the disposal of the church ; second,
they improve the land and administer it well ; third,
they come in aid of the church or of such eczleeirs-
tioal persons as have suffered from the execution of
the law of 1865; fourth, they inform their heirs and

seeeesson of the existonce of the said conditions,
end enjoin them to observe the same.

era wafedwatica will be natured upon, and'
quite certain that there is not the Botanist chinos of
the necessary harmony. It the Southern merchant
will reason with himself, as well as remonstrate with
his correspondents, be will see that the first thing
every citiren has to do is to acquiesce, according to
compact, in the choice of the majority, after
every man has made his proper coestitu-
tional effort on behalf of his own candidate.
It will be time enough for rebellion when
the constitution is violated. Meantime, it really
seems as if remembrance against endangering the

Union had better be addreise d to martial gentry,
who talk of marching on Washington, than to oom-
msrcdal man, who propose oimply to alk to the poll
and home again.

Two indices seem worth mention. The men of

colour in the State of New York are organising their
electoral forces. They Gen vote by thousands, if they
have the pluck to do so: and they have chosen
their time well for the assertion of their right.
They are associating for the purpose, and also with
the fourth object of extending the franchise among
their own class. Of coarse, they go for FRamorr to
a man. As they truly my, five thousand votes here,
and five thousand there, may be of importance in an
election so closely run es this ia likely to be.
The other remarkable circumstance is the organisa-
tion on foot for declaring the results, on the 6th of
November, with all possible speed. An agreement is
in course of being established that the reporting, the
newspapers, and the telegraphic action of that day
shall be confined to the one topie--the result of the
Presidential election. It will be a marked day in
Amerisan .histery.

these visits, the army was reminded of the devoted-
ness it owes to the constitutional throne of the Qum,
and it was several times declared that the officers
who do their duty shall be retained in their plane,
whatever be their political opining.' General
paused de la Concha (Marquis del Duero) had re.

the committee on wer, and had obtained permission

of, and amongst them it was said that the
Duke de Rivas wu to be sent to Paris, M. Isturis to
London, and M. Mon to Rome. The .scion of the

Marshal O'Donnell was about to obtain the dignity
of grandee; "he has cotapplied brand will not accept
anything, as he considers himself sulleisetly recom-

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.

Mr. Spurgeon made his appearance in the midst of
his vut auditory at half-put 6 o'clock, and gave cut a hymn,
which wu sung. He then proceeded with au " exposition"
of a portion of Bt. Luke's Gospel, on which ho delivered a
most exciting harangue, which in some places was cheered
by three who took an interest in the proceedings. The
neat business was a prayer, as eliciting as the Scriptural

commentary, and in the midst of this tie terrible accident
occurred. From the beat inform►tion that could be paths red
it allure that the catutroplie arose from a cry of Fire,"
raised by a concerted movement on the part of a body of
London thieves. At the western door, at the northern
entrance, and in the southern entrance to the
building the cry was simultaneously raised, and
it unhappily {reduced its effect in each direc-
tion. From the western door, which is the principal
entrance, the people rushed in a body. Many ct them
were knocked down, trempled upon, and their arms and
legs broken. Those in the first gallery who were alarmed
by the rumour rushed down the northern attires/A, which
gave way, the rerult of which was that five women and one

man were killed oar the spot. Of the women killed one walk
Mn. Grace Skipper, of 40, Dobson-terrace, Kennington,
another Mrs. Harriet Johnson (addrers unknown). To the
other persons there was up to a late hour last night no clue
whatever. When the alarm was raised in the galleries that
the building was on fire end was falling, the people, who
I were intimidated, broke the windows and jumped out. Of
these some hundreds broke their arms and legs, and the
shrieking and crying in the (littleness, which by this
time prevailed, was certainly most heartreadisg.
It is but the moot crdinary justice to Mr. Super-
intendent Lund, and the police under his control, to
state, that if it bad not been for their great exertions some
hundreds of persons must have been killed or maimed.
When the rush took place they planted themselves in a
body before the door, and while large bodies of people were
I lying upon the fleer, and running the risk of being tram-
pled to death, resisted as long at they could the progress of
the impetuous crowd. Until eleven o'clock last eight dead
end dying were conveyed to Guy's Hospital, to which insti-
tution, by the proper directions of the ceperiatendent of
polies, they were Conveyed.

- Mr. Spurgeon continued his discount' after tha terrible
eataetrophe, remarking that people would rush from danger
to rave their bodies, while they cared little 'butt the salts.
lion of their souls.

Mr. Carter, the coroner in whose district this lameotable
accident bu occurred, will no doubt institute a strict Inver
Ligation into the circumstance.

A despatch from St. Louis gives an extract tram
an extra of the Westport (Mo.) Border Rufan,
issued on the 13th inst., which states that 200 Free.
Boilers had attacked the town of Franklin, in Kansas
and, after four hours' fighting, had retired, carrying
off the cannon belonging to the town. The accounts
as to the number of lives lest are contradictory. The
United States troops occupied the town next day.
The same despatch states that 300 of Colonel Latish
men have entered Topeka.
This news is confirmed ty another despatch from
Chicago, although the accounts vary in the details.
The Free Sellers ceo stated to have made the impor.
taut discovery or the existence of an organised plan on
the part of the pro-slavery men to concentrate men,
arms, and ammunition at different points of the terri-
tory, for the purpose of making a sudden and general
attack immediately after the adjournment of Congress,
and expelling all the Free State sanity.. It is stated
that twelve fortified blockhouses have been erected
at different pro-slavery points, well supplied with
cannon, rifles, and ammunition, and garrisoned
principally by Missourians. The attack was
made on the tort at Franklin by the Free State
men far the purpose of securing the arms deposited
there, and they seem to have effected their object.
Among the rifles thus obtained possession of were
many of the rifles seized at Lawrence last May by
the pro.slavery men. Farther disturbances were
anticipated.

The King and Royal Family have left Cintra, and

The cholera has now considerably diminished in
Lisbon, and hopes are entertained that in a short
time it will altogether disappear. The deaths are now
only about 16 a day.
The accounts from the Azores state 'that the bar.
vest is short, in consequence of the dry weather
which prevailed at the commencement of the season,
en evil, however, which was much ameliorated by
the rains which set in later. The government
has prohibited the exportation of provisions front
Terceira, and has established quarantine as a precau-
tionary measure against the invasion of cholera.
The journals are barren of political news ; how-
ever, there appears no doubt that the late bread riot
cry had altogether a political origin, and the fact
that the soldiers of the artillery were most tampered
with is a significant feat, when we consider that the
prominent members of the party last in power held
easnatissions in that regiment.

OUTRAGE AT WASHINGTON.

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Times, writing on the 18th ult., says :
A most disgraceful assault was committed to-day by Mr.
IC/Mullen, of Virginia, upon Mr. Charger. The partial!
were in an omnibus, riding to the capitol. They got OM-
venlig on politics. Both were vety russet in the discus-
sion. bl'itulien said in effect that the South would net
submit to the election of Fremont. Granger replied,
" After November it will be made to submit." 111.1dul-
len immediately changed the discussion from a
political to a nerviest one. He professed to be
insulted, and told Granger that grey hairs alone pro-
Meted him. Mr. Gras g.a said, "I ask no immunity on that

him two severe blow,, btui.Mg Granger's taco badly.

looking at bee foe a moment, exclaimed, " Pon thing, slt•I
is dud." At file time she asked me to bring the coffee she
used the words, "Make haste, for I am dying." I saw
nothing le the room in the shape of medicine. and I gave
her none dudes her short illness. I had sun her between
7 sod 8 o'clock on Tuesday night, and she !appeased then to
be is perfect health.
In answer to a quietism from the magistra•e, the withers
added that she had lodged for about fourteen months in the
house, and altboegh the prisoner had been in the occasional
habit of quarrelliag with Itis wife, she had always eoesidered
him to be a good hulloed and father.
Mr. John Visall, a sugoon at Hackney, stated that he
was sent for at the time in gelation to attend the deceased.
Although he arrived in lees than flu minutes, he perceived
that she was dead. Her face was perfectly placid, and there
was no spectres.* to indicate that ahe had suffered a violent
death. The prisoner was absent at the time, but he
saw hire afterwards,when he •Atuterily told him that at the
smut request of kis wife, who wu in the family way, he
had purchased two ounces of sulphate of, pause for the
purpose of producing a miscarriage. Witless asked him if
she bad takes it all, to which he replied, that he was not
aware, but that, if say had been left, it would be found op
steles. I accordingly made a diligent search la the place
indicated without diseoverieg anything, but shortly atter-
wards one of the asighboure handed me two teacup., at the
bottom of each of which I found the sediment of a tasting
white powder, which I believe to be sulphate of potato.
Mr. Thomas Valentine Stamford, a chemist at Homutes,
stated that oa Wednesday 'Tomas the prisoner purchased
two ounces of sulphate of potato at his shop, and, at the
some time, informed him that he had made several un.
successful efforts to moan it at other druggist.' in the
neighbourhood.
Charlotte Roome, a married woman, residing in the
neighboethood, deposed to having toned the two teacups
osetainiag the powder referred to by Mr. Vinall in the
deeetud's room, together with a paper which was labelled,
" sulphate of potaw"
Poliocceastable Beek, N 228, stated that on taking
prisoner into enstady, he szelaimed, " lam very
eirry, but I did not think it would come to this ;" and
added, that his wife had previously taken some of the same
staff when she was pregnant with her last child, about
twelve months aim, for the purpose of procuring a min.'
carriage.

taker, farmer and eattledealer of Thryttsrs, near Rother-
ham. Mr. Whittaker had beam to York cattle fair, and had

there drank • portion of three pennyworth of gin. Be then

DISTURBANCE IN THE ROMAN STATES.

A letter of the 7th from Forli, in the Papal States,
states that on the sth inst. (Sunday) a conflict of a
somewhat serious nature took place between some of
the citizens and the gendarmery, at a place called
Meldola, about 10 miles distant from this city.
It appears that two young men, one of whom was
smoking a pip, were going by the barracks of the
gendarmery. These ordered him to discontinue
smoking, but he persisted. Some of the gendarmes
ran out and followed the young man to a neighbour-
ing Cafe, where they fell upon him with repeated
blows. His comrade on this told the gendarmes
that, while they bad a perfect right to arrest any we
as soon as they found that he had committed a breach
of the regulations or laws, they had no right to mal-
treat their prisoner. The gendarmes responded to
this with insults and blows. The young man partook, in
fact, the fate of his companion, and they were as
together. The young men of the district,
ez-
cited by what had happened, repaired en maw to
the Mayor, and prayed him to us his good °Mom
for the liberation of the piteous. The Mayor
willingly acceding to the request, without loss of time
took the proper steps to effect their release. The
chief of the gendarmery, however, refused to liberate
the young Ines, and accompanied his refusal with
some very rude and unbecoming observations towards
the Mayor himself. The populace, greatly irritated,
made an attack on the gendarmes, who, though
reinforced by some soldiers of the line, were
obliged, with the soldiers, to take refuge in an
inn, of which they barricaded the door. Meanwhile
additional gendarmes and soldiers came up. A coo-
fliet took place, on. of the gendarmes was killed,
and the rest of the soldiers were disarmed. It is
feared that the matter will not rest here, but that the
government will invoke the heroic remedy which
they hold in readiness for all g eventualities,
Austriaa assistance. The polies have endeavoured to
make some arrests, but those of whom they were in
quest have managed to elude their vigilance.
