LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

THE ROMAN QUESTION.

PARIS, Oct. 31.
The Moniteur of this morning announces that,
in consequence of the interruption in the Pontifical
telegraph lines, no intelligence has been to-day re-
ceived from Rome subsequent to that of yesterday.
It was known only that the Papal garrisons
of Viterbo and other towns were concentrating
upon Rome to aid in its defence, it being threatened
by Garibaldi.

The same journal says :—" Certain papers con-
clude from the proclamation of King Victor
Emmanuel that the settlement of the Roman ques-
tion would be arranged between France and Italy.
The French circular, however, of the 25th October
cannot leave any doubts as to the intention of the
Government to submit to the examination of all
the great Powers a question which interests entire
Europe."

FLORENCE, Oct. 30 (Evening).

The Official Gazette of this evening says :
" The French Moniteur having announced that the
French flag waves upon the walls of Civita Vecchia,
the Government of the King, in conformity with
the declarations made by it previously to friendly
Powers, in view of such an eventuality, has given
the order to the Royal troops to cross the frontier
and occupy some points of the Pontifical territory."
The Gazetta di Fereiriza says :—" This morning
at eleven the King ordered the Italian forces to
cross the Papal frontiers. The troops are now
advancing upon Civita Castellano, Orte, Acqua-
pendente, and Frosenone."

HUNGARY.

PESTrI, Oct. 30 (Evening).

To-day in the Lower House of the Hungarian
Diet the special committee presented its report on
the demand of the Minister of Justice for permission

late letter of 111. Kossuth. The report urges the
House to grant the required permission. The debate
on the question will come off on Saturday. 11.1.

the subject to the President of the Lower House,

THE TAILORS' STRIKE.

A few weeks ago we announced that this agitation,
which during the summer induced so much loss to
masters and misery to employed, had concluded by
the unconditional submission of the operatives.
There are some details in connexion with the move-
ment which may be interesting at the present time,
when the whole nation is narrowly watching the
attitudes of trades' union societies. The number
of houses in which the strike prevailed was, it may
be remembered, about 90, and the number of men
who took part in it about 2,800. Most of these
were skilled workmen from west-end houses, and

the sacrifice they made in vindication of a mis-
taken principle may be estimated when we state
that they remained out of employment fully six
months—that is to say, from April to October.
The average receipts per week of each of these
men during that period of the year may be taken at
about £2, so that, making allowance for the " scale"
to which each man on strike was entitled during
the continuance of the agitation, the loss to the
operatives who took part in the movement must
have been something like £70,000 (on the men's
own showing it was more), or about £25 per head.
For this the only return they have obtained is a
loss of confidence in the trade and final and decided
defeat. At the beginning of October about 200 of
those who had struck returned to the shops in
which they had been formerly employed, 200 found
work in the co-operative establishments instituted
by the men, while a similar number availed them-
selves of the scheme of emigration which had been
devised for improving the labour market at
home. The shops in which the strike did not
prevail gave work to 500 more, so that about 1,000
remained out of employment at the beginning of the
present month. Still more recently the difficulties
which presented themselves in the way of continu-
ing the movement—the impossibility of carrying it
on with any efficacious result without picketing, and
the. decided violation of the law which would be
committed by the continuance of that system—in-
duced the committee of the operatives' association
to recommend the men on strike to surrender on the
terms which the masters would propose, one condi-
tion, however, being reserved, namely, that the
operatives should not be compelled to leave the union
before resuming work. The masters, with judicious
forbearance, took back the men without demanding
any such concession. The extraordinary levies made
on the trade during the strike have been reduced by
order of the committee to the normal payment of 6d.
per head per week, and the annual meeting of the
association will be held in November, when the
balance-sheet kept during the strike will then be
submitted to the society. A scheme will also be
presented for the consolidation of the operative
tailors throughout the kingdom into ono amalga-
mated association. With a view to this result a
series of public meetings arc being held in various
districts of the metropolis for the formation of dis-
trict branches of the operatives' society. The men
contend with, a pertinacity which is only equalled
by the fallacy of their argumentation, that they
have won a victory, though they are not
able to pursue it further. They admit, however,
that the London masters are the most liberal in Eng-

laud, and they allege that the strike was undertaken,
not through any vindictive feeling,-but for the main
tenance of a principle.
