A MAN KILLED BY ROHDE'S IN MANCHESTER.

About half-past 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon, a man
named William Lee, stationer, of 27, Bradford-road, was
Pluming along Jersey-street, when he saw a number of
youths annoyiny, a man and woman, who were taking •
hone along the street. Lee remonstrated with the fel-
lows, and they, thereupon, attacked him, struck him,
knocked hint down, and kicked him violently about the
head, inflicting such injuries as caused the unfortunate
Min's death in a few minutes. He was removed to •
neighbouring house, and a surgeon attended, and pro-
nounced him to be dead. One of the deceased's assail-
ants, named Joseph Rogers, is in custody, and will be
brought up at the City Police-court this morning.—Man-
cAuterOrtardian.

A. Row IN A THEATRE.—The Queen's Theatre,
Dublin, was the scene of a contretempi on Monday night
which put a stop to the performance for a considerable
Period. The burlesque of Prime Camaralzaman was an-
nounced for performance in the evening, but owing to the
accidental destruction by fire of the dresses of the Mines
Nelson, who were to appear in the piece, the performance
could not be proceeded with. The Invisible Prince was sub-
stituted, but the " gods " were furious at the change,
and the manager and some of the favourite actors vainly
aPpealed to the audience to allow it to proceed. During
seine hours the " gods" were inexorable, but at length
Him Carry Nelson appeared before the curtain with man
apologies and tears. Her remarks were hailed with
applause from all parts of the house, amid which it was
evident that "beauty in tears" had conquered where
lance, stagelumiager, " popular favourite," and leading
comedian had been driven from the field. The "gods
attack their colours, Miss Nelson resumed her part, and
lite Piece was allowed to proceed.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. Lewis, brought a good-
looking young French girl into court, and made the fol-
lowing application. About iii months ago the young girl
came to London, sad was lured into a French brothel in
Lisle-street. The keeper of the brothel, after charging
her extortionately for board and lodging and fleecing her
visitors rapaciously, turned her out of doors after seizing
all her clothes for an alleged debt for rent. He wished to
know whether the magistrate would allow one of the con-
stables to go to the house in Lisle-street, to see if be could

AYERICAIf POLITIC&

The Daily News gives us notable sign of the waning
fortunes of President Johnson a leading article fro-n the
New Pork Herald of the 15th, in which that paper, which
has hitherto supported him, tells him he must abandon his
policy and take up that of Congress, which is the only one
the people of the North will ratify. This Northern tour
hu been a most unfortunate enterprise for Mr. Johnson ;
but for it the people of the Free States would have had no
conception of his ignorance, fanaticism, and total unfitness
for the work of reconstruction, which belongs of right not
to him brit to Congress.
The Herald has an article upon American politics in
which it describes the administration as carried on by
ignorant and violent men ; the affairs of government as •
mere question of plunder, and the execution of justice as
the desire of no one. The real evil is the unprineipledness
of the people. Such • profound demoralisation has not
been seen since all men were found corrupt, and the whole
earth so filled with violence that there was no remedy but
in opening upon it the fountains of the great deep.
The Tel at last thinks it probable that in • new
Congress Mr. Johnson will be in a minority almost as hope.
less as ever, and if so the Southern States must continue
to be governed indefinitely as dependencies of the North,
and possibly under military governors. That sueh a sys-
tem cannot last for ever Is plain enough ; but when or how
it will come to an end, is • question which at present it is
Man to ask.

GERMAN Y.

The Times explains the question which was at issue
between the Prussian government and the Chambers rela-
tive to the finances. Before the war there existed a re-
serve fund, which was afterwards employed to meet the
exigencies of the campaign, and which the new loan was
intended to recoup. The Chamber objected on the con-
stitutional ground that it would have no command over
the money ; but Count Bismarck's arguments, significant
enough, inasmuch as they were based on the uncertainty
of the continuance of peace, prevailed, and on the pledge
that no part of the fund should be touched without the
sanction of the house unless extreme contingencies should
arise, and on the reduction of the loan by one-third, the
ministers were enabled to carry the day.
The Daily News criticises the manner in which the dis-
possessed and diminished sovereigns of Germany are adapt-
ing themselves to their changed position. It contrasts the
sense of dignity displayed by the Grand Duke of Hesse
with the excessive complacence of the King of Bavaria who
has conferred a knightly distinction upon Count Bismarck
for doing him the honour to strip hint of territory ; and with
the peevishness of the Duke of Saxe-Meiningen, and the
Philosophy of the old Elector of Hesse. The King of Saxony
apparently knows little what the traders, manufacturers,
and professional men throughout Saxony are saying while
ho remains absent from his kingdom. They would have
been well content to remain his faithful subjects, but now
that he has irrecoverably loot his independence, they say
that they would rather be annexed to Prussia alto-
gether than enter the new league as Saxons,
and be regarded as " secoml-class Prussians." And
this is what will certainly happen if the King holds out-
It is not a subservient temper which inclines the Germans
to Prussia, but a perception that the government of that
state is precisely the one which can do the great work of
the age. That work is the unification of the common
country. In Baden and Darmstadt the immense majority
of the population are in favour of joining the Northern
Bund ; in Bavaria the deputies have pronounced in its
favour ; and even in Wurtemberg, hitherto considered the
most adverse to it, public demonstrations take place and
meetings are held by influential members of the liberal
party in favour of the reuniting the whole of Germany
into one Bund under the leadership of Prussia. There
can be no doubt that the new leaders of Germany will pro-
ceed with their task.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)
PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, SEPT. 26.

A royal patent will shortly be issued assuming
possession of Hanover, Electoral Hesse, Nassau,
and Frankfort, and the King will therein salute
the peoples of those States as new Prussian citizens.
The semi-official Provincial Correspondence of
to-day states that there is no prospect of the con-
clusion of peace with Saxony until that country
has given sure guarantees against the recurrence
of those dangers which, at the outbreak of the
recent war, menaced both Prussia and Northern
Germany.
The Upper House of the Prussian Diet has
unanimously adopted the government proposal
for the prorogation of the Diet until the 12th of
November.

The house has likewise unanimously voted the
bills referring to the establishment of banks of
advance, those relative to all commercial and
customs treaties, and the loan bill as passed by
the Chamber of Deputies.
In the Chamber of Deputies to-day, the Minis-
ter of the Interior proposed that the house be pro-
rogued to-morrow until the 12th of November, to
enable the government to prepare further bills to
be submitted to the chamber. The minister ex-
pressed the satisfaction of the government at the
settlement of the bills which had been submitted
to the house during the session, and also the desire
of the government that the next session should be
brief, in order to make way for the convocation
of the North German Parliament (Reichstag). The
house adopted the proposal for prorogation without
discussion.

THE CANDIAN INSURRECTION.
ALEXANDRIA, Sen. 26.

Official accounts published here state that the
news of the defeat of the Egyptian troops by the
Candiotes is inaccurate. The Egyptians, not ex-
pecting the commencement of hostilities, were tem-
porarily separated from the Turkish troops. Im-
mediately, however, on the arrival in the island of
Ismael Pacha—the successor of Chain Pacha—he
succeeded in reuniting the Egyptian troops with a
loss of only 150 men. _

PARIS, SEPT. 26, EVENING.

duced a favourable impression, and up to the pre-
sent all hopes have not been abandoned of the
success of the conciliatory mission with which he
has been entrusted."

Sir Hugh Cairns, in his address to the electors of
Belfast, says that—" In the coarse of a free and prolonged
titemossion of the principles and details of a measure of the
greatest public importance, the late government discovered,
as they considered, an unwillingness in the House of Com-
mons to accept the measure without alterations, and deem-
ing themselves bound by pledges which they had given,
they resigned office." He declines to enter into the ques-
tion of the sufficiency of the grounds for that resignation,
but promises for himself to promote those mesanres " which
will appear most calculated to secure the prosperity and
contentment of the country and the improvement and
maintenance of its institutions." Sir Hugh Cairns will not
be able at present to accept the banquet at which his con-
stituents wished to entertain him. No opposition is ex-

LORD DERBY'S SPEECH.

The Tines goes over the speeches of Lord Derby and
Lord Russell in a sense favourable to the former, though it i■
slightly amused at his lordship's picture of mutual approx-
imation and of liberal self-denying conservatism. Our
contemporary repeats the accusation against Lord Russell
that he invited the liberal majority to take the oath of
allegiance in the shape of a Reform Bill, concerted not
with it or with its leaders, but with an isolated minority,
having little in common with the rest, and not even sym.
pathy. The majority had not obeyed the summons, partly
from dislike to the matter, partly from suspicion of the
'tierce. But there began and ended the relations of the
liberal government with the liberal majority, with which
there never was confidence, ►nd whose confidence could
not therefore be lost.

The Daily !Ines observes that Lord Derby starts in
business with • declaration of "no effects ;" and it must
be some subtle sense of analogy—the °pennon of some latent
sympathy—which leads him to restrict his programme of
domestic legislation to the congenial subjects of bank-
ruptcy and pauperism. As to the constitution of his
ministry—between a " liberal conservative " and •
" conservative liberal," Lord Derby says, there is
really no difference at all ; while Sir Edward Rut.
wer Lytton, on the other hand, has declared that they
have as much resemblance as a horse chestnut has to
a chestnut horse. As for tories of the old school, whose
praises are the constant theme of Mr. Disraeli's prose and
Lord John Manners' verse, Lord Derby scarcely believes in
their existence. The Doily News would refer him, how-
ever, to General Peel and Lord Cranborne, and thinks no
one can doubt that the sympathies and convictions of the
head of the government are with this the least liberal
portion of it. Without suspecting them of a desire for
war, it is to be hoped that their pacific intentions will have
• sounder foundation than Lord Derby's political economy
and history. That landlords, for whom war means rising
or falling rents, have • greater stake in the presses ration of
peace than artisans and shopkeepers, for whom it means
starvation or bankruptcy, is • doctrine which could have
been propounded only in • House of Lords. That the re-
puted warlike tendencies of toryism have no foundation in
past facts, is an assertion which could have been made only
by one whose historic researches have omitted the history
of the past hundred years. It is not their belligerence that
is to be feared, but the exercise of their " good offices "by
foreign powers. At the present time, a European settle.
went framed by an English tory cabinet, in cones t with
France and Russia, will scarcely bear thinking of, and the
bare chance of it makes a few months of Lord Derby seem
perilous.

An address has beenpp—

to Mr. John Esmond', IL?., ex-Lord of the Treasury, ap-
Lcovzyof his conduct in supporting the late government.
, Mr. Esmonde states that Irishmen are not no im-
mediately concerned in the question of reform as their
brethren in England. What more nearly affects them is
tbeltiab polity of the t, and he regrets that the
saucy recently purau has been for a time set aside, and
tbat, too, in some measure by the votes of Irish members
representing popular constituencies." He trusts that when-
ever a new goverimeat shall be formed of the same mate-
rials as the old, a like policy will ensure for it a steady
and united assistance from the representatives of liberal
Ireland."

TRIAL TRIP OP THE EARL DE GREY AND

RIPON.

Yesterday a most successful trial trip was made
of this screw steam ship, built and engined for the War
Department by the Thames Iron Works, Shipbuilding,
Baginetuing, and Dry-dook Company, which has recently
erected engineering works on the banks of the Thames a
little below Blackwell of a very extensive description,
and which present an imposing frontage to spectators
passing up and down the river. The Marl de Grey and
Ripon is • vessel of 936 tons, builder's measurement
being 150 feet Lion, 21 feet 6 inches in breadth, anti
13 feet 3 inches is depth. She is fitted with powerful
screw-mgines of 64-horse power meninal,and which are on
the double piston-rod principle, the diameters of cylin-
ders being 29 inches, and the length of stroke two fest.
They are fitted with superheater surface condemners and
all the latest improvements. The pressure of steam was
90th., sod the vacuum in condenser 1416. The engines
worked admirably, without say indication of hot bearings,
and the indicated horse-power developed was between five
and six times the nominal. Being intended for the service
of the War-office, to carry stores and ammunition to the
fleet, she is built of unusual a:length, as the armament
now carried by our fleet is daily increasing in weight. She
is the first vessel this company has been entrusted with for
the construction of the engines, which, after the perform-
! ance of to-day bids fair to rival those of our most eminent
makers. Great speed has not been the desideratum in this
vessel, as the hereepower is merely auxiliary.

Cal-
cutta the state of destitution is such
to tha
pooat there
has been some talk of having recourse r-
law, private charities being wholly inadequate to
relieve the starving masses. Instances of death
from starvation are by no means rare, while cholera
and small-pox have also broken out among the suf-
fering population, adding their ravages to those of
the famine. The distress in the Madras presidency
seems wholly to have been occasioned by the insuf-
ficient monsoon ; the wells and tanks being dry,
irrigation and agriculture cannot be carried on sue-
I cessfully. " The remedy which has been adopted
there (says the Times of India) seems the wisest
that could have been applied. Government, with-
out doing that which was for private charity and
1 the people themselves to do, have given grants of
I money to be expended, underthe supervision of the
I various collectors, in improving the waterworka and
1 the means of irrigation, thus supplying work for
the ryota in the meantime, and providing against
the recurrence of similar seasons."

THE PROPOSED CONGRESS.
VIENNA, 2dAY 21

The official invitations to aDongress at Paris
were despatched to-day simultaneously by England,
France, and Russia, to Austria, Prussia, and Italy]
The announcement of the official Dresden journal
yesterday, that all the Powers had agreed to the
proposed Congress, is premature, although Aus-
tria, if she has not already given her adhesion,
will certainly do so.

The effective strength of the Austrian army now
under arms is between 600,000 and 700,000 men.
In case of need 300,000 more troops can be raised in
a very short period.

AMERICAN POLITICS.

President Johnson, the Daily News says, has now before
him a splendid opportunity. By the principles of the
constitution, Congress alone has power to reconstruct the
Union. The definite proposals of the reconstruction com-
mittee, which have been approved by the House of Repre-
sentatives and now await the veto of the Senate, are sin-
gularly moderate, and are made in the spirit
of compromise, and Mr. Johnson's acceptance of the
principle of the constitutional amendment would enable him
iso secure the rejection of the only obnoxious condition
the proposal contains. But the Daily News has not much
hope that he will make the sacrifice of renouncing his per-
sonal preference for the details of his own plan. He has
misunderstood the northern people from the first, and is
most likely looking forward to the new elections in the
autumn. However, the Daily News does not believe that
the American people will ever consent to readmit the
Southern States to all the powers and privileges of the
general government until old inequalities have been re-
dressed, and the privileges which were given as a sop to
slavery have been resigned as a sacrifice to freedom. They
have known how to restrain the impetuosity of their poli-
tical leaders, they will also know how to overcome the
resistance of their President.

The Post thinks it must be confessed that, viewing the
matter literally, Mr. Bancroft has much the beat of the
controversy in his correspondence with Lord Russell, and
that Mr. Bancroft was justified in alleging that ere war
had well commenced the British Foreign Secretary re-
garded the republic as no more. Lord Russell in the
opinion of the Post, echoed the sentiments of the vast
majority of the people of this country when he said of the
American war that it was a struggle for empire by the
North, and for independence by the South. But, having
used this language, be ought not to be surprised if one
who was an ardent Federalist should accuse him of par-
tisanship. The conclusion we are driven to is that a
! minister of state should never entirely divest himself of
I his official character, and should weigh well the literal
meaning of every word which he employs.

The editors of 16 of the more important liberal
papers of Prussia have just met at Giessen to concert a
common course of action in this emergency. All agreed to
advocate peace as long as they could, and promote revo-
lution, in the interests of unity, if war were to be
inevitable.
