The Holy Father.

The Paris " Committee of St. Peter" has just
published a statement respecting the funds col-
lected on behalf of the Holy Father, and the appF-
cation of them up to the present time. Iu its report
it says :

" In order to continue the works intended to
place Rome out of danger of an attack, the Mi-
nister of Arms asked a first sum of 150,000 f.,
which was immediately placed at his disposal. This
being a point of primary necessity a further sum of
350,000 f. has been allotted to it. Other payments
have been made as follows :—Succour for the
wounded, B,ooof. ; assistance for the troops on
campaign, 20,000 f. ; for the damage at Serriston,
10,000 f. ; cloth for uniforms and waist belts,
28,000 f. ; artillery mountain pieces, 21,000 f. ; blan-
kets, 90,000 f. ; revolvers, 50,000 f.; material for am-
bulances, 40,000 f. ; works for the defence of Rome,
500,000 f. ; total, 767,000 f. And, as the total sum
hitherto received is 1.7n,000f., there is a disposable
balance in hand of 970,0u0f. The Pontifical army,
like the French, will have two kinds of muskets,
some transformed on the French system, and some
entirely new, on the Remington plan. The former
have the a lvantage of being ready very soon.
They will cost, with a supply of cartridges to
the value of 50f., 75f. each ; that is, 375,000 f. for
5,000 muskets. The latter are of remarkable sim-
plicity, and are approved by all competent inee•
With 75f. worth of cartridges they will cost 160 f. ;
that is, for 5,000, 800,0001., making altogether
1,175,0001., an amount which the unpaid subscrip-
tions will certainly cover. Both systems are
in course of execution, and will be pushed forward
with the greatest celerity. These weapons will
meet the first necessities of the Pontifical troops,
but will not suffice to constitute the reserve indispell-
sable for every army. According to the views of the
Minister of Arms thera are still required 10,000
new carbines, to complete the works of fortifica-
tion a certain number of rifled canon for the rare-
parts of the same calibre as those which M. de le
Rochefouc tuld gave in 1860; to construct a centra
barrack to remedy the excessive division of the gar-
rison of Rome ; to establish two or three small
powder magazines, far from the habitations and near
the most important positions. These necessities will
entail still further expenses. Thus, in concluding,
the counnittee expresses the hope that the zeal of
the Catholics will not slacken, and suggests that next
year—without interfering with Peter's Pence
15,000 contributions of 500 f., spread throughout
the Christian world, may provide for the support of
15,000 soldiers, while a new subscription will meet
the extraordinary expenses of the Minister Of
Arms."

A REFRACTORY PRISONER.

OnTuesday morning Charles Fosgate, a remanded
prisoner, was brought before Mr. Fowler and other
magistrates, at the City Police-court, at Manches-
ter, charged with stealing a regulation rifle. The
prisoner was not originally arrested as a Fenian, but
for stealing the rifle of a volunteer, at whose house
he had had a night's lodging. Several other charges
of theft were also made against him. While the evi-
dence was being taken the prisoner frequently
turned round and looked up to the gallery (which
was crowded), and continued to make signs to per-
sons whom he appeared to identify. The officer in
charge of the dock checked the prisoner from time
to time, and eventually Mr. Fowler called upon the
officer in charge of the gallery to arrest any person
whom he saw " telegraphing" to the prisoner.
Upon hearing this remark the prisoner sat down in
the dock, and scowled sullenly at the magistrate.
Inspector Garner, having had previous experience
of the prisoner, at once rushed over the front of the
dock, and an exciting scene took place. The pri-
soner struggled violently with the officer, and blas-
phemed,

tolerate your conduct any longer. You --- dogs,
you've abused me every way since I have been here.
I'll knock one of their heads off in a minute, the
infernal wretches I Who the are you ?"
Here the prisoner, who was evidently a inan of
desperate character and great strength, attempted
to close with the inspector, but Garner was too
quick for him. Mr. Fowler (to the prisoner)—
" Prisoner, look here, you've been behaving very
improperly all the time the case has been going
on, and if you do not remain quiet, I must take
the case in your absence." Prisoner—" Then let
the wretches treat me better, the infernal dogs.

was about to close again with the inspector, when
Mr. Fowler said to the prisoner, you are now re-
manded for a week, because you are not in a right
frame of mind to conduct your case properly." The
prisoner was then forcibly taken to the cells below
the court, yelling and struggling with much vio-
lence. As he was being dragged out of the dock he
exclaimed " I'll shoot the lot of you; the whole
lot!" There was considerable commotion in the
gatory'whilo this scene was going on.-

PASSENGERS' LUGGAGE.

On the subject of passengers' luggage, the 1)ailil.
News has some sensible remarks. The English no-
system is condemned, as it deserves to be, and a
wonder is expressed that a greater quantity of vas-.
sengers' luggage is not stolen, seeing the temptations
offered at our railway stations by want of proper
precaution and protection. The French system
meets approval as being certainly very far in advance
of our want of system. It is, however, objected that
Englishmen would never submit to the loss
of time which the arrangements in France
involve. The American plan is advocated
as more suited to our habits. In the United States
a railway porter, on receiving the luggage of a pas-
senger, attaches to each of .the articles of which it is
composed a medal, which is hung upon a thong of
leather, and is numbered. The passenger receives a
medal with a corresponding number, which, on his
arrival at his destination be gives up, and his luggage,
after the medal which was affixed to it has been
detached, is then handed over to him ; the thong is
attached to the handle of the portmanteau or trunk
by a slip knot, and it is put on and taken off in a
second. As a comment on this we venture to add,
c‘ RailwavAireetors, ulease to CODY."

FOREIGN NOTES.
TUMMY AND GREECIO.
The Bourse Which Russia will take in the preseht cord.
plication between Turkey and Greece is yet deemed doubt.
ful, and is the cause of much of the danger anduncertainty
that now exists. The Moniteur has given its fiat in the
interests of peace, but the Paris public does not believe it. At
the time when the Imperial organ was about to reassure the
world, the Bourse was violently agitated by the report that
Russia meant to support Greece. Such a step, which would
mean declaration of war, is not likely ; but between no
interference and open-handed support there is a wide mar-
gin. The Temps does not apprehend any direct
encouragement of Greece by Russia. It has, however,
received information which leads it to conclude that the
Emperor's Government is anything but pleased with the
moral support accorded to Turkey in every quarter. Russia
does not want to fight for Greece, but it does not desire the
easy " walk-over " which is nowpromised to Turkey. Prince
Gortschakoff within the last few days expressed himself
to this effect to M. de Talleyrand, the French Minister at
St. Petersburg. Remarking that the attitude of France
was nct all that Russia could wish, he added : "Seeing
that Turkey is so inflexible in its demands, is there not
reason to believe that she is supported by some of the
Great Powers ; and this being the case, is not Russia
ju stifled iu abstaining from the measures which the
other Powers have taken in common to prevent the de.
velopment of the conflict ?" To these words, which were
telegraphed to Paris, the Temps ascribes the disquieting
rumours so prevalent during the last day or two.
The resurrection of Turkey is, indeed, remarkable. The
Turks hate talk and work equally, hut when roused
to deeds they are apt to overshoot the mark. The order
that all Greeks should quit Ottoman territory was rather
an extreme measure, seeing the war had not begun ; but
the demand that the tributary States, Servia and
Roumania, should also expel the Hellenes, is positively
dangerous. In the first place, the Powers cannot support
such a step, and in the second, the Roumanians would
much prefer to aid Greece than to support Turkey.
The text of the Turkish ultimatum has been published.
It enumerates eight complaints against the Greek Govern.
Tent. They are : —Applying part of a loan to - the
purchase of a blockade runner; a Ministerial speech
eating a resolution to annex Crete ; opposing the return
of the Cretan emigrants ; refusing to remove the obstacles
which bad been thrown in the way of their return ;
encouraging or suffering the formation of volunteer bands ;
the ambitious tendencies, more and more openly expressed,
of Greek parties ; the inutility of Turkish representations;
and the impunity enjoyed in Greece by all aggressors,
against Turkey.

CHATHAM CONVICT ESTABLISHMENT.

For some short time past a few or tne most desperate
among the convicts at the Chatham convict establish-
ment have shewn signs of insubordination and been guilty
of acts of violence similar to those which preceded
the outbreak which occurred at this prison some
few years since, on which occasion the assistance
of the military had to be called in to put down the
outbreak. The mutinous spirit shewn by the convicts
culminated a few days since by some three of the prisoners
assaulting theirwarders, after having been guilty of certain
acts of gross insubordination. Immediately on the occur-
rence, prompt steps were taken by the officials to punish
the offenders as a warning to the remainder of the pri-
soners. The convicts concerned in the outrage, all of
whom are men of the most depraved character, who are
undergoing lengthened periods of penal servitude, were
placed in irons, and an investigation into the circumstance
at once instituted by the Director of Convict Prisons, who
attended at the convict establishment for that purpose, the
result being that each of the convicts concerned in the
attack and assault on the warders was ordered to receive
three dozen lashes and to undergo other punishments in
the prison. The corporal punishment was inflicted inside
the prison a day or two since, and some idea of its severity
may be inferred from the circumstance of the cries of the
convicts who were receiving the punishment being dis-
tinctly heard a considerable distance beyond the prison
walls. In addition to the punishment inflicted on them
they will forfeit all the privileges they may have obtained
in the prison, and will not be eligible to have any portion
of their sentence of penal servitude remitted. The
prompt manner in which the insubordination on the part
of a few of the convicts was met by the authorities
has had the desired effect, and there have since been
no further attempts at any violent behaviour by any
of the prisoners. It is intended to enlarge the convict
establishment at Chatham, so as to enable it to accom-
modate about 300 additional prisoners, orrather more than
1,600 in all, the whole of whom are to be employed on the
public works which are now being carried out at Chatham.
The new buildings will be erected by the convicts them-
selves, the bricks required for the work, as well as those
used in the construction of the new docks and basins,
having been made by them, the number of bricks manu-
factured during the past summer alone having been 20
I millions.

MARINE TRAGEDY

The Cork Berald gives the particulars of a series of hor-
rible and almost incredible, occurrences, which took place on
board the Dutch vessel Finnechina, Captain Hotze, com-
mander, just arrived in Cork from South America. A
Londoner named Rogers was one of the crew, and either
from insanity or cupidity (as ho knew the captain had a
large amount of money on board), he seems to have formed a
plan for getting possession of the vessel by wholesale murder.
On the fourth day after the ship left Buenos Ayres Rogers
took a favourable opportunity and pushed the first mate
overboard. The cook, in response to his cries, ran to throw
him a rope, when Rogers seized him by the legs and thre w him
into the sea also. Both these men were Dutchmen. The
second mate, also a native of Holland, ran to help the drown-
ing men, but Rogers endeavoured to kill him with an axe. He
ran towards the cabin, and jumped down the hatchway, up-
setting the captain, who was running up, and both rolling
on the floor. Rogers secured the hatch above them, and_
made them prisoners. Two men remained on deck, one a
Yankee, the other an Irishman, and these llogers kept apart
(one fore, one aft), by threatening to murderthem ; and com-
pelling them to steer the vessel in turns. For four days the
murderer remained master of the deck, not sleeping during
the time. The captain fired twice at him during that period,
but without wounding him seriously. Owing to a defect in
the compass, he supposed the vessel was steering straight for
the land, when in reality she was moving parallel to the coast.
At the end of the fourth day sleep overcame him, and the
Irishman, waiting for the opportunity, seized the axe, and at
one blow nearly severed his head from his body. He then
relieved the captain and second mate, and the vessel made
for Rio. After an investigation, a fresh criiw was shipped,
and the Finnechina arrived in Cork Harbour on Monday.

AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
_ILA EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting tho bead, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed oases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
