TRADE RIOT NEAR ROTHERHAM.—On Tuesday, a
riot took place at Aughton, a village near Rotherham, be-
tween unionists and non-unionists, or members and non-
members of the South Yorkshire Miners' Associathm.
Close to Aughton are two coalpts, one known as the
Pigeon Bridge Colliery, belonging to Messrs. Alford and
Skinner, and the other as the North Stavely, own ed by
the Stavely Colliery Company. The latter company have
set their faces against the union movement, and dis-
charged all known members of the union. A number
of Staffordshire miners have been engaged to supply the
vacancies created by the dismissal of the unionists. The
unionists employed at the two pits have tried means to
induce the " knobsticks" or non-unionists to join the asso-
ciation. The non-unionists have been greeted with the
cries of " Bah" and " black sheep," together with the
many other disagreeable epithets by which the unionists
designate those who hold aloof from their union. Thus
an al-feeling has been engendered between the two
parties which has resulted in a serious disturbance. The
Stalfordshine men—or most of them—have evinced a de-
termination not to join the union, perhaps not because
they were disinclined to do so. but because the Stavely
Company have discountenanced the association. A collier
and a unionist, working at the Pigeon-bridge coalpit,
stated that as he was coming home to Aughton, from
Aston, late on Saturday. night, he saw four men. " knob-
sticks," with pokers and pieces of iron in their hands, which
he surmised were intended to be used in thrashing him.
He managed to escape the men, however, and received uo
injury. I)uring the evening a fight took place at the Bull
Inn between the unionists and non-unionists, but no se-
skim; injury was caused to anyone. The Staffordshire men
used very threatening lang!tage, one of them swinging a
poker about, and saying, We will destroy the town."
No further disturbance was apprehended. However,
yesterday morning, between eleven and twelve o'clock, a
ntele occurred. A man named Richard Jones (non-
unionist), who lives at Aughton, came out of his house
whilst a unionist, named David Peters, wits passing, and
brutally assaulted him. A crowd, consisting of unionists
and non-unionists, was soon congregated, and a general
used. A
tight ensued. Sticks and atones were freely
number of colliers belonging to the association were
seriously assaulted. One of them, George Thompson, re-
ceived a severe cut upon the head with a stone, and an-
other, named Daniel Peters (brother to the Peters named
above, who came to his brother's assistance), sustained

HANOVER, Dec. 27.
The deputation of Hanoverian officers who went
to Vienna to solicit King George to relieve them
from their oath of allegiance have returned to

and General Arentachild has been instructed to
carry out his Majesty's wishes in this respect.
HANOVER, Drc. 27.

An order from the ex-King of Hanover has been
issued by General Arentachild, with the approval
of the Governor-General, releasing all officers and
officials from their oath of allegiance, and dismissing
from the Hanoverian service all officers, non-com-
missioned officers and men belonging to the late
Hanoverian army. This order includes those who
have already entered the Prussian service.

to-ds,y states that Count Bismarck is devoting all
-his onergief towards effecting the complete organisa-
tion of the North German Confederation.
The mania journal denit3 the report that Count
Bismarck will shortly visit Italy, and adds that, on
the contrary, he has no intention of allowing him-
self any'relasation whatever until all matters re-
ferring to the Confederation shall have been dis-
posed of in the North German Parliament.

CROATIA AND HUNGARY.
AGIAM, Dzc. 27.

It is believed that no reply will be given at

addreas of the Croatian Diet, in order not to pre-
judice in any way the prospect of an understanding
with Hungary. _

THE PAPAL STATES.
ROME, Dim 27.

The officers of the Pontifical army were presented
to Ahe Pope this morning by the Minister-at-Arms,
who assured his Holiness that they were all entirely
devoted to his cause, and were ready to fight, not
against the Romans, for they were the friends of
order, but against foreigners who should dare to
come and disturb the public peace.
The Pope replied that ho did not doubt the sen-
timents entertained by his soldiers. He urged
them to guard themselves front falling into the
dangers on which the enemies of the Holy
See relied, and to preserve amongst themselves con-
cord, peace, and moderation.
" Resist," said his Holiness, " all seductive in-
fluences, and persevere in the defence of the great
cause to which you have been called by Providence,
, I and which is the cause of justice and religion."

TRIESTE, DEC. 27.

According to advicee received here from Athens,
dated the 22nd inst., rumours were current in
that city of an approaching intervention on the
part of the Great Powers in the Candian question.
