TURKEY AND CRETE.

A letter from Constantinople says that the
Grand Vizier is preparing to set out very shortly
for Crete, to preside in person over the establish-
ment of the new administrative organisation with
which it is the intention of the Sultan to endow
the island. Ash Pacha is likewise said to have
been directed to ascertain the wishes and wants of
the Cretans, and he would be assisted by Cabauli
Pacha, Reauf Pacha, and three Greek functionaries
in the labours of this political inquiry.

INSURRECTIONARY MOVEMENT IN THE
PAPAL STATES.
ROME, Ocr. 1.

The Giornal.e di Roma says :—" New bands of
the insurgents have crossed the papal frontier at
Aquapendente and other points in the province of
Viterbo, and have exacted money and food from
the inhabitants. At Canino an armed band was
discovered by the inhabitant., early in the morning
and put tc flight. In other localities several of
the insurgent* have fallen into the hands of the
troops, some of their number being killed. The
town and entire province of Viterbo are tranquil."

FLORENCE, Ocr. 2.

The Opinion publishes intelligence from the
Pontifical frontier, confirming the statement that
several armed bands had made their appearance
in the province of Viterbo. One band of 80 insur-
gents recently surrounded Aquapendente, in the
barracks of which town 40 gendarmes had taken
refuge. Great agitation prevailed throughout
Viterbo.

BERNE, Ocr. 2.

President Fornerod has returned from the Swiss
federal council, and is about to undertake the post
of chairman of the Swiss Credit Mobilier at Geneva.

INDIA.

BOMBAY, Sin. 9.
(Via Trieste.)
Her Majesty's frigate Octavil has left for the
Persian Gulf in consequence of reported distur-
bances 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
Indian Peninsula Railway, resulting in the death
of one passenger, the guard, and a native fireman.
Two large bridges over an unopened portion o
the same railway, between Rundwah and Hurtlah
have given way.

A crack has been been discovered in the largest
viaduct at Thull Ghent; and three other viaduct*
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
Peninsula Railway have been condemned by the
company's engineers.

The cholera is still prostrating the armies in
Affghanistan. Afzul Khan, the Ameer of Cabul,
is reported to be one of its victims. The report,
however, requires confirmation.

ARRIVAL OF THE MALTA.
QUEENSTOWN, Ocr. 2.

The Cunard extra steamship Malta, from New
York, arrived here at 6.15 a.m. to-day with 88 pas-
sengers. She landed 22 passengers and despatches
and proceeded for Liverpool at 6.30 a.m. All
well.

The United States screw steam frigate Franklin
Flag-Admiral Farragut, now lying in the Thames, was on
Monday inspected by Commodore lidmonetone, C. 8., aide.
de-camp to the Queen, who went down from Woolwich,
accompanied by his Flag-Commander Jackson, and paid a
eomrlimantary visit to the pliant admiral by previous
ex rangement. The frigate is accompanied by the steam
tender Trobe. Admiral Farragut is expected to visit Wool-
wich and inspect the dockyard, and probably the depart-
ments of the arsenal, Ina few days.

Some of the weekly Roman catholic prints in
Ireland appe►r to be in a state of ecstasy consequent on
the defeat of Garibaldi's scheme. No language is too low
to be applied to him. He is an " infamous character, who
fears neither heaven nor hell," a " vile beast," and a " des-
perado," a "scoundrel, and the head of a gang of plun-
derers."

It is expected that the submarine telegraph from
Cape Schanck, Victoria, to Tamar Heads, Tasmania, will
be laid by January next ; it is estimated the outlay will be
100,000/.

The Court of Accounts in the kingdom of Italy
Ins discovered that the frauds oommitted by the govern-
ment treasurers in the different provinces in 1866 amounted
to 1,318,706 fr.

It appears that in Convocation the Archbishop
of Canterbury last year declared himself in the strongest
manner against advocating the appointment of a new
Bishop of Natal. His words were—" I could never vote
for a resolution th►t would be conadved into a recommen-
dation to the church in South Africa to consecrate •
bishop. Ido not view the resolution in that sense. lam
glad that the resolution has passed, but I should
not have voted for it bad I interpreted it to be a recom-
mendation to elect another bishop." A correspondent of
the Times asks, " If anyone is presented to the Archbishop
of Canterbury for consecration, con the archbishop per.
form such an act without a license from the crown? If any
one is presented to the Bishop of Capetown for consecra-
tion, is ' the church of South Africa' so separated from
the mother church that such consecrationcan be performed
without the royal license r

The medical schools in connexion with the prin-
cipal hospitals of the metropolis were opened yesterday
with addresses, in each case from one of the professors. The
lecturer at Sc. Bartholomew's was Dr. Odling, F.R.S. ;
at Charing-cross. Mr. B. Canton ; at Guy's, Mr. Arthur E.
Durham ; at St. George's, Mr. Holmes ; at King's Col.
lege, Dr. Miller ; at London, Dr. Lethsby ; at Middlesex,
Dr. Cobbold, F.R.S. ; at St. Mary's, Dr. Broadbent ;at
St. Thomas's, Mr. Scilly ; at University, Professor Graily
Hewitt ; and at Westminster, Mr. W. F. Trevan.
ANOTHER TRAGEDY IN THE FOREST op FON-
unrasur.Au.—A. fresh incident has revived the emotion
caused at Fontainebleau by the murder of Madame Mer-
tens. Another dead body was discovered in the forest a
few days back. It was lying in a ravine neer the Rooker
de Bonvigny, and almost entirely cionssused by vermin ;
but the deceased has been recognised by his clothes to
have been an inhabitant of the town who disa
some weeks sines. His puree and some jewellery tiirwove
were gone when the body was found; but whether a
murder has been omnalitted or not is as yet uncertain.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nor ous OWN

PARIS, TUESDAY EVINTIIO.

Owing to an apprehended scarcity of wheat in
France, the imports from the Ist to the 10th of
September exceeded the exports by more than 18
millions of kilogrammes ; but this has had little
or no influence upon the price of bread.
M. Castel, a printer at Rennes, has been fined 1,000
francs for publishing a manuscript before making
the deposit prescribed by Article 14 of the law of
October 21, 1814. The Phare de la Loire is bold
enough to condemn this decision, and calls for a
revision of the law, declaring that such an offence
ought not to be more severely punished than the
tradesman who poisons his customers with adul-
terated products, or cheats them by false weights.
The appeal of the Impartial Dauphinoia against
the judgment which recently condemned M.
Maisonville the elder to a fine of 1,500 fr., and
M. Maisonville the younger to 500 fr., was prose-
cuted the day before yesterday at Grenoble, by
M. Ernest Picard. 1 am sorry to say that the
imperial tribunal confirmed the judgment of the
court below.

A case of shameful treatment on the part of the
proprietor of a furnished house, in the Boulevard
des Italiens, towards a young American lady, was
brought before the Correctional Tribunal of the
Seine on August 31. You may remember that the
lady, Madame Truefield, with her little girl, on going
out, were forcibly detained by the portreas (a very
unpopular class in Paris), when the noise occa-
sioned by her resistance and remonstrances drew
Lemoine upon the; scene, who, with great fort*.
detached her fingers, one after the other, from an
iron railing to which she clung. The court con-
demned Lemoine to one month's imprisonment
and lOOfr. fine, and the portreas to six days' incar-
ceration. From this decision these two worthies
appealed last week, when the court confirmed in
every particular the previous judgment. It is
hoped that this decision will be a warning against
personal violence, at all events, if it have little
effect in the way of inducing ordinary politeness
or decent civility towards foreigners especially.

No small commotion was occasioned on Wednes-
day last in the commune of Saint-Ouen, in the
vicinity of Paris, where preparations for the vintage
were being peaceably carried on. A large body of
individuals of all ages, numbering from 150 to 200,
came from Paris to offer their services on the occa-
sion. With the exception of about 50 or 60, tem-
porary employment was given to all. Those who
had failed in their application bivouacked in the
open air during the night. After the gendarmes,
who had had their eye upon them, retired to their
barracks, this outlying band tore down a portion
of the fencing of the park of the Princess de Craon,
and made large fires, by which they warmed them-
selves and cooked their victuals. At an early hour
in the morning they attacked a baker's cart going
from Clichy to St. Ouen, and carried off by main
force several loaves of bread, having previously
dug up and consumed a large quantity of potatoes
growing in the vicinity of their encampment.
News of these depredations having been despatched
to the gendarmerie the plunderers took to flight,
when they were pursued by the police, joined by
eighty men in the employ of a manufacturer in the
neighbourhood, whose property had been damaged
by them. A sort of running fight was kept up be-
tween the pursuers and the mauraders as far as
Paris, where some succeeded in escaping, while
others, to the number of twenty, were captured.
may mention this event in connexion with the
other instances of want, depravity, and disorder
to which I have already referred, all of which, ,
taken together, do not offer to the contemplation
a remarkably assuring prospect of a prosperous'
and quiet state of things in France in the coming
winter.

General Prim left Geneva on the 26th ult. for
Brussels, where he hoped to find the same hospi-
tality which he enjoyed for several months before
he undertook the expedition which so miserably
failed. The Countess de Reuss, who lives in Paris
with her children, was in hourly expectation of
receiving a despatch from Brussels announcing that
her husband was there in safety, and that she
might rejoin him. But, according to the informa-
tion of the Prune the general received notice on
his arrival in Brussels that he would be required to
leave the city in forty-eight hours.
The Bourse has been again agitated to-day, and
&further fall in the Rent. has taken place. The
Italian Loan was very much affected, and the
Credit Mobilier also further declined. Other
credit institutions showed increased weakness,
and railway shares are down.

Loss OF A STEAMER ON THE EDDYSTONE
PLYMOUTH, Ocr. I.—The new iron steamship Hiogo,
Captain Bainton, built and owned by Mr. Laing, of Sun-
derland, was run on the Eddystone, off Plymouth, this
morning (Tuesday), and went down in deep water. The
Hiogo was bound out for Japan, and named after one of
the new Japanese ports that will be opened to the English
traders in January next according to treaty, and to that
port she was proceeding. She was 550toneregister, and had
• valuable cargo on board. She was also chartered to carry
passengers and goods for the Diamond Steam Navigation
Company from London and Falmouth for Madeira and the
Cape of Good Hope. She left London on Saturday after-
noon for Falmouth with the Rev. Mr. Smith, lady, and two
sons, for Madeira ; and Mr. Morison and a German gentle.
man. for the Cape, on board. Several more paasengern
were to have joined at Falmouth. At twenty minutes to
3 o'clock this morning (Tuesday) she was most unaccount-
ably inside and close on the Eddystone, and ran ashore on
the Sugar-loaf rock, at the N.E. end of the reef, about •
cable's length from the lighthouse, with the light shining
down strongly on her deck, the night being clear star-
light, the wind light. She filled her fore part, and as the
tide rose slid off and went down on her starboard broed•
side indeep water, the top of herportgunwele justshowing.
The Plymouth pilot boat No. 7, came to her assistance,
and the passengers and crew, 33 in all, were, with the
assistance of the pilot boat, landed in the ship's boat at
Plymouth this morning. The bullion, chronometers, and
plate, were brought onshore. A telegram from Plymouth this
morning says :—" The merchant steamship Hiogo, which
was run on the Eddystone Rock yesterday, will become
• wreck. The tug Wellington returned this morning with
some cases of goods that had been washed out of the fore
bold of the Hiogo. The tug will go out again, and two
pilot boats are now alongside the wrecked vessel. The specie
saved yesterday consisted of two boxes, the contents of
which were 10,0001. in value."
A Corrvics SHIP.—The hired convict ship
Huguemont, which has been taken up by the government
for the conveyance of • numerous party of convicts to
Fremantle. Western Australia, left the Nore yesterday,
and proceeded down Channel, after receiving on board
about 150 convicts from the establishments at Chatham and
Milbank. The convicts from the Chatham establishment at
St. Mary's embarked from the dockyard on board the pad-
dle-wheel steamer Adder, Mr. W. J. Blakey, and were in
charge of a numerous party of convict guards and wardens,
all heavily armed. Among the eonvicts shipped yes-
terday were a party of 15 Fenian, who were engaged
in the late conspiracy in Ireland, togetbef with the
officers and crew convicted of scuttling the ship
Severn, and some others who have achieved notoriety from
their crimes. The Fenian con% :cts, like the remainder of
the prisoners, were chained together in gangs, but it was
observed that they were kept apart from the other con-
victs in a portion of the vessel by themselves. The steamer
Petrel also brought down a number of convicts from the
establishment at Millbank, for shipment on board the
Huguemont, in charge of • strong escort and couvictguard.
The Huguemont will call in at Portsmouth and Portland
to receive • number of convicts from each of these esta-
blishments, the number she is fitted up to take out to
Australia being 500. The convicts will be in charge of a
military guard, who will afterwards settle in the colony.
