THE INVASION OF THE PAPAL STATES.
ROME, Ocr. 11.

The official Gionak di Roma of to-day sap :
"At Torre Altina, Monte Alfino, and Pecrone
numerous Garibaldian bands have again concen-
trated themselves, and are still increasing in
numbers and receiving large quantities of arms.
A band of 1,000 Garibaldians have again invaded
Nero's, where they have levied supplies of pro-
visions. The Pontifical troops are marching
against them." _

ROME, Ocr. 12.

Yesterday, while the garrison of Subiaco wax
absent scouring the country, a band of insurgents
came down from the mountains and occupied the
town, the gendarmes withdrawing to the castle.
The garrison, on its return, attacked the insur-
genta and repulsed them.
The official accounts state that thirty Garibaldiana
entered Subiaco yesterday by surprise, during the
absence of the garrison on reconnaissance. The Pon-
tifical troops on their return in the evening re-
took possession of the town after an encounter
with the invadors, in which the latter hot 15 pri-
soners and three killed, including among the
latter the Garibaldian chief Milatuiis. The Ponti-
fical troops only suffered a loss of two wounded.
The awerratore Romaiw of to-day says it is
authorised to contradict the statement that Mgr.
Franchi was entrusted with a mission to Biarritz,
and to give a denial, therefore, at the same time
to the reports of conversations at that place, and
to the conclusions arrived at by some journals in
connection with the alleged mission. Arrests con-
tinue to be made in Rome.
FLORENCE, Oc-r. 12, EVENING.

The Roman committee have issued a proclama-
tion, dated the 9th, announcing that they have

saying that until his return he confides the com-
mand of the enterprise for the deliverance of Rome
to his son Menotti.
FLORENCE, Ocr. 13, 9.20 P.M.

The head-quarters of Menotti Garibaldi, who
has been appointed by his father to the command

NORTH GERMANY.
BERLIN, Ocr. 12, Evnum.

In to-day's sitting of the North German Parlia-
ment the budget was read a second time, and
almost unanimously adopted, only three members
voting against it.

A debate then took place upon the bill respect-
ing the nationality of merchant vessels. This bill
was adopted with some modifications, paragraph
2 being altered so as to provide that only such
ships as belong exclusively to North German sub-
jects shall be entitled to carry the Federal flag.
It is affirmed that Wurtemburg is about to draw
much closer its relations to the North German
Bund.

RUSSIA.
ST. PETERSBURG, Orr. 13.

the treatment of wounded soldiers.

TURKEY.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Orr. 12.

Intelligence from Crete announces that the Grand
Vizir arrived there on the 4th inst., and pro-
claimed an amnesty. He invited four deputies
from each district to come to Canes to confer

The chiefs of the insurgents have issued a pro-
test against the amnesty, and persist in demand-
ing an international commission of inquiry and
universal suffrage.

Lord Brougham (we learn from the Carlisle
Josra,,l) continues to reside at Brougham-hall, Westmore-
land. His lordship is in the enjoyment of good brslth, and
when weather permits takes his daily carriage drive. In-
doors his chief occupation is writing letters upon social or
political subjects, addressed to the must prominent pro-
moters of social and political reform. In former years his
lordship left Brougham for Cannes about the middle of
November, but this year, we understand, it is not impro-
bable he may spend the winter in the south of England
instead of crawling the Channel.
THE BISHOP OF OXYORD AND THE PAN-ANGLI-
caN ENCYCLICAL.—The Bishop of Oxford has addressed
the following letter to the clergy of his diocese, enclosing
the Encyclical " Ciullesdon Palace, Oct. 9, 1867.
Reverend and dear Sir,—Subpiined is the Encyclical ad-
dressed to the faithful in Christ Jesus by the archbishops,
metropolitans, presiding bishops, and bishops of the Angli-
can communion assembled at Lambeth, under the presi-
dency of the Archbishop of Canterbury. And I have to
request of you to publish the document to the faithful of
your
_parish on the first convenient Lord's day. I recom-
mend you to read it from the holy table at the time ap-
pointed for such notices as the ordinary may direct ,- for
your doing which this will be your warrant. But if, from
any peculiarity in your church, you should prefer to read
the address from the pulpit at the time of sermon, you are
at liberty to do so. You will preface the reading of the
paper with the following notice At the desire of the
Lord Bishop of the diocese I publish to you the following
address from the archbishops, metropolitans, presiding
bishops, and bishops who met at Lambed' on Tuesday, the
24th of September, 1867, under the presidency of his
Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury.' "

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

By the arrival of the above mail we have advice* i
from Calcutta to September 7 ; Madras, September
13 ; Colombo, September 16 ; Hong Kong, August

Great anxiety is said to be felt at Peking by the
Chinese government owing to the presence of the
rebels in Shantung and Ho-nan.
The de Norman monument has been erected in
the grounds of the British Consulate at Shanghai.
It bears the names of William de Norman, T. W.
Bowlby (Trove correspondent), Captain Brabaron,
RA., and Private Phipps.
[ The Spanish treaty was ratified on the 26th May
last. The Spanish minister is concluding a con-1
vention relative to the Coolie trade. Other
ministers are drawing up a fresh convention unii-
[form with that of Spain.
[ The Chinese government has been making ex-
tensive purchases of rice at Hong Kong and else-
where to meet the anticipated famine in the north.
The most important news from Japan relates to
the alleged abdication of the Shogoon, Stotabashi,
the foreigners' friend. A correspondent of the
Friend of China, writing under date 10th August,
informs that paper that the Shogoon abdicated in
consequence of the dissatisfaction he gave the other
princes in consenting to the opening of the ports,
and his general willingness to carry out the treaty.
Prince Owari is now Tycoon elect, and his proclivi-
ties are not altogether so favourable to foreigners.
The writer is of opinion that there will yet be a
struggle for the supreme authority, but that the
I resolution of foreign governments to enforce the
treaties will result in the victory of the pro-foreign
party, whoever may represent it. No mention of
the Shogoon's abdication is made in other northern
Parrs.
he Sydary Meriting Herald, of August 23, says
that the Public Schools Act continues to work well,
and promises results much more satisfactory than
any hitherto obtained by the expenditure of public
money to promote the education of the people.
On the 14th August a motion was carried request-
ing his Excellency the Governor to cause to be
placed on the estimates a sum of 5,0001., to pro-
vide for the reception of his Royal Highness the
Duke of Edinburgh. It was thought not desirable
to ask for a larger sum in anticipation of the visit
of his royal highness, it being felt that whatever
might be required would be loyally granted to do
honour to the son of the Queen. A sum of 3,0001.
has been voted by the municipal council of the
city of Sydney for the same purpose.
A bill has been introduced to provide for the
better regulation of the volunteer force of the
colony. There are about 2,000 men enrolled.
The object of the bill is to make the regulations
more strict, and give to the body a more decided
military character. The measure is founded upon
the volunteer acts of England and Canada. It
exempts volunteers from certain civil duties, and
coffins the inducement of 60 acres of land to those
who have rendered five years continuous and effi-
cient service.

WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS.

The Royal Mail Company's steamer Taamanian,
from St. Thomas, on September 29, arrived on
Saturday evening in Plymouth Sound, with I(r2
passengers. Pratique was refused from her bay-
ing yellow fever on board. Thirteen cases and
one death occurred on Friday, and one death the
day before. The mails were taken out by a steam-
tug boat, fumigated, and landed. The Tasmanian
left Plymouth at seven o'clock the same evening
with all her passengers, and arrived at Southampton
yesterday morning. Having a few cases of fever on
board, she has been ordered to remain at her moor-
ings off Netley Hospital until such time as Dr.
Wiblin, medical superintendent of quarantine, re-
ceives instructions from the Lords of the Privy
Council, with whom he has communicated, as to
the course to be adopted under the circumstances.
The Tasmanian's dates are —Grey Town, Sept.
16 ; Chagres, 23 ; Jamaica, 24 ; Jacmel, 26 ;
Demerara, 23 ; Tobago, 23 ; Trinidad, 24 ; Barba-
does, 26; Grenada, 25; St. Vincent, 25; St.
Lucia, 26 ; Martinique, Guadeloupe, and Domi-
nique, 27 ; Antigua, 28. She brings in specie
448,673 dole. in gold ; 657,622 dols. in silver ;
and pearls and jewellery valued at 13,340 dole.
At Valparaiso no new light had been thrown on
the Spanish question since the last mail, but an
opinion that the Spaniards would not return to
the Pacific was gaining ground. Peru was in an
unsettled state, more especially in the southern
provinces, and it will require very judicious ma-
nagement on the part of the government to pre-
vent internal strife.

The Peruvian men-of-war lying at Coquimbo
were expected at Valparaiso shortly.
Exchange on London 4511 at GO days, and 44 to
46 at 90 days sight.
At Jamaica the health of the population was
good, yellow fever having completely disappeared.
The weather continued favourable for sugar culti-
vation, and good average crops were almost certain
next year. The coffee crops would not be more
than the average ; in the lowlands the berry was
large and quality good. The pimento crop is a
failure this year, and a very few bags would be
picked.
At Barbadoes agricultural operations were pro-
gressing favourably, heavy rains had fallen, but
had not injured the cane crop, and an abundant
crop of cotton had been reaped.
Governor Hincks and family arrived out per the
Ganges on the 12th of September. Their reception
wall very. hearty. . . .... . . . .

At Trinidad during the past fortnight business
bad been dull. The weather continued favour-
able for the planter, although unfavourable for
public health. There was still a good deal of fever
in the port of Spain of the typhoid type, but if
treated in time it was not of a dangerous or
unmanageable kind.
At Grenada heavy floods had occurred in the
windward part of the island. The weather gene-
rally had been unfavourable for crops.
Cocoa was beginning to ripen on the trees, but
doubts were felt as to an abundant first picking.

DIRTURBANVES AT ST. MATTHIAS'S, STOKE NEW-
lNGTON.—Yesterday evening there were serious disturb-
ances at Stoke Newington. in connexion with the ritualis-
tic developments at the church of St. Matthias. Some
hundreds of persons assembled in Goldsmith- uare, in
which the church is situate, between ei and? o'clock.
After that hour, and when the church had been filled, the
numbers increased, and frequently during the service loud
shouts were heard from the rioters. There was scarcely
anything to remark about the service in the church,
which was not in any way interrupted ; indeed
it was evident from the nature of the cor.gre-
gation that any attempted interruption would have
been speedily and successfully resisted. The ser-
mon was preached by the Rev. C. J. Le Geyt, M.A.,
the incumbent of the church, who wore a white surplice,
a purple stole, and the hood of an Oxford muter of arts.
On entering the pulpit he made the sign of the cross, and
invoked the Holy Trinity. At the close of the service,
which seemed to be known outside, there was a desperate
howl from the mob, and as the congregation left the church
they found some thousands of persons assembled, who
hissed and hooted and rather roughly used some of the
parishioners ; but in consequence of the arrangements of
the police very little damage was done. On a sudden
• signal was given for the rioters to proceed to the house of
Mr. Brett, the churchwarden, on Newingtomgrftn.
There they went in a body ; there, however, again to
find the police, who had arrived at the same place by a
shorter route. _ _ _

-----
NOT Our OF TOWN.—A clergyman one Sunday
at the close of his sermon gave notice to the congregation
that in the course of the week he expected to go on a mis-
sion to the heathen. One of his parishioners exclaimed—
" Why, my dear sir, you have never told us one word of
this before. What shall we do !" " Oh, brother," said the
minister, " I don't expect to go out of town."

LONDON. MONDAY EVKIMIG, OCTOBER 14, 1867.

THE NEW EFFINGHAM THEATRE.

New theatres are now the order of the day, and;
however stagnant all other branches of trading enterprise
may be, the providers of public amusements show no'
symptoms of fatigue and faint-heartedness. Vililtechapel
has long boasted of one large and elegant theatre—the
Pavilion—and it uow has another, the Effingham, known
for some years as a " saloon," end for the last fifteen or
twenty years as a large and well-conducted local theatre.
This house and some adjoining buildings have been pulled
down, and a new theatre, called "The East London," has
been erected in their stead, capable, it is estimated, of ac-
commodating 4,000 persons. The new East London
Theatre is one of the prettiest at present to be found
in East London. It possesses a magnificent stage, the pro-
scenium decorations are novel and elegant, and, in-
deed, like the whole of the embellishments, re.
markably chaste and agreeable to the eye. A new
drop-scene has been painted for the theatre by Mr.
J. Gates, formerly of the Lyceum Theatre. The front
of the pit is devoted to stalls. There are two
tiers of boxes. Those nearest the stage are fitted up for
the accommodation of private parties. The centre of the
first row of boxes is the dress circle, or rather the half
circle. The centre portion of the second tier is the =phi. 11
theatre, and behind that the gallery, the latter well sr-
ranged and comfortable. The fronts of the boxes, and the
ceiling—a circular one, with a sunlight insertion—are very
chastely and elegantly decorated. The general get-up of
the interior of the building is highly creditable to Mr.l
Fenoulhat, who designed it, and under whose personal
superintendence it was carried out, and to Messrs.
Pashky, Newton, and Co., who supplied the various items
of decoration. The architect was Mr. Modem, and the
builders Mesas. Palmer and Sons. The latter gentlemen
seem to have been fully alive to the importance of proper
ventilation in their construction of the new East London.
The performances here are of tbelsame character as those
at the Victoria, City of London, Britannia, Le., and the
proprietor, Mr. Morris Abrahams, has had much expe•
rience in the working of a local theatre.

CAMBRIDGE, Ocr. 12.

THE AMERICAN BISHOPS IN CAMBRIDOE.—MOTS
th►n usual interest in congregations was excited to-day by
the knowledge that, according to graces duly passed by
the senate yesterday, the degree of Honorary Doctor of
Laws would be conferred upon certain of the American
bishops who have taken part in the late Pan-Anglican Con-
ference or Synod. The names of those right reverend gen-
tlemen upon whom the university authorised the confer-
ence of the degree of Honorary Doctor of Laws have
already been published ; they were eighteen in number,
but of these only seven presented themselves, viz.:—
Charles Pettitt DPllvaine, Bishop of Ohio ; Henry
J. Whitehouse, Bishop of Illinois; Thomas At-
kinson, Bishop of North Carolina ; Henry Wash-
ington Lee, Bishop of lowa ; Henry C. Lay,
Missionary Bishop of Arkansas and the Indian Territory;
Charles Todd Quintard, Bishop of Tennessee ; John B.
Kerfoot, Bishop of Pittsburgh. At the time announced
for the assembly of the congregation the floor of theSenate-
house was closely occupied by an audience comprising most
of the resident members, who had no official part in the
proceedings of the day, and many strangers. The under-
graduate body was represented by about 200 of its members
in the galleries. Shortly after three o'clock the Vice-Chan-
oellor (the Rev. Dr. Cartrnell, of Christ's College, entered,
escorted, as usual, by the minks bedells, and followed by
the intended recipients of degrees, each of the last named
bsbited in anticipatory doctorial (scarlet) robes, and
each borne %company with by a member of the Uni-
versity of Cambridge of doctorial rank. Amongst
the members of the university present were:—The
Rev. Master of Trinity. the Rev. the Provost of King's,
the Rev. the Master of St. Peter's, the Rev. the Master of
St. John's, the Rev. the Master of Downing, the Rev, the
Master of Clare ; Professors Sedgwick, Selwyn, Lightfoot,
Humpbry, and Liveing, Dr. Paget, be. The Vice-Chan-
cellor having assumed his position on the dais, the Ameri-
can bishops were presented in a body by the public orator
(the Rev. Wm. Geo. Clark, of Trinity College). The orator,
who was repeatedly cheered by that part of a most critical
audience, who by prescription are allowed to cheer in the
Senate-house, without any derogation from their acade-
mical rank—to wit the undergraduates—in a speech re-
plete with exquisite Latinity, presented the bishops to the
Vice-Chancellor.

The Vice• Chancellor then (Mr. Vice-
Chancellor and each recipient standing) conferred the
degree in all else in the usual form, the bishops being pre-
sented seriatim by the public orator. Each of the pre-
sentees on admission to his degree passed on to the dais
behind the Vice-Chancellor. The public orator in his

speech dwelt chiefly on the value of the maintenance of in-
timate and friendly relations between the two churches
and the two countries.

In the account of the academical status of the gentlemen
recently elected Fellows of Trinity College, it was omitted
to be dated that Mr. Walter B. Browne wee nineteenth
wrangler (mathematical), an well as bracketed tenth
classic.

MYSTERIOUS DtarovErs. —A most extraordinary
story is reported from an out-of-the-way part of Stafford-
shire. The point at which that county abuts upon Shrop-
shire and Worcestershire is • wild district, covered to a
great extent with thickly-grown underwood, and where
clear, containing only one or two small farms, and a few
cottages occupied chiefly by charcoal burners. Arely
Castle, now the property of a Liverpool merchant, by
whom part of the district is owned, is oat far off. The
other part belongs to the Earl of Dudley. The place has
been long noted for the wild and lawless character of its
few inhabitants. It was formerly a mining district; but
so long a time has passed since any pits were worked
there that almost all knowledge of them was lost. The
undcrwood was so thick es to hide the mouths of the old
pits, and it was only now and then that parties of char.
I coal burners came upon them. One day recently some of
these men were at work, and wanting water they made a
search, and soon found what they supposed to be
en old well. They drew water from it se they needed, and
one of the men was astonished one day to find the sleeve
of a woman's night-dress in his bucket. He called his
fellow-workmen to him, and in making further search'
they palled up a guano beg, which was found to contain!
the corpse of a child. As soon as the g was opened the
body fell topieoes. It had been wrapped in a night-gown,
and placed in the bag, to which a brick la ad been tied by
a string. The police were communicated with, and an
inquest opened. No evidence of importance was obtained
beyond the statement of a surgeon to the effect that the
body must have lain in the pit for at least eighteen
months. The coroner adjourned the inquest in order
that a further search might be made. Men were ordered
to drain the pit. The task was far from pleasant. The
water was found to be so strongly impregnated with ,
putrescent animal matter that it was necessary to supply'
the men with stimulants to enable them to continue
at work. After having drawn up a great quantity of
filth they reached what they supposed to be the bottom.
Instead of being that, it was a quantity of tree branches
which hid been tumbled in. Resting among these
branches they found the bones of • second child, which
bad laid in the pit a much longer time than the body
I which was first found. All trace of flesh and of clothing
had disappeared. Searching still further, and still raising
quantities of filthy animal and earthy matter, the remains
of a third body were found. These alio were fleshless,
and an examination of the bones proved them to be those
of a led at least six years old. It seemed quite certain
I that the lad had been brutally murdered. A cord was
found tied tightly round the ankles. It is noticeable that
the skull was the only part of the third body which could
not be found. The men at work were soon made
aware that the place they were draining was of extra-
ordinary depth. They had found alrelOy what proved
to be two false bottoms, made chiefly of brunches of trees,
of underwood, and earthy matter, which has silted in with
surface drainage. The inhabitants of Upper Arely, • vil-
lege about a mile and a half away, and of other places
about, were of course greatly excited as the reports of the
several discoveries were made. Then all sorts of tradi-
tional stories were learned, among others one in which it
was stated that the pit was at least 100 yards deep, and
was the shaft of • MlOO which had not been worked within
the memory of the oldest inhabitant. The process of
draining it has now been stopped. The police have not
yet sucoeederl in obtaining any evidence as to who the
children were, or by whom the were murdered.
