Earl Derby was engaged, the day the steamer sailed, im laying the foundation ston? of a new hospital in Liverpool. A letter from Rome in the Corriere Italiano, of Fior- ence, says:— ‘The arrival of vehicles filled with dead and wounded after the encounters with the insurgents causes siugular emotion among the people, One migit say that there ig no longer auy government, a8 no one obeys the orders given, The Pope will notleave Rowe, Tbe Bavanan aod Spanisu Ministers are using a) their mduence to induce bim to gu. An important article appears in the Prussian Crocs Gazet'e, of Berlin, October 23, fully recognizing the right of France to intervene on behalf of the.Pope, in vir:ue of the September convention, and declaring that Prussia, which doea not desire the destruction of the temporal power, does not feel called on to occupy her- sell in any way with Itatian affars, The same journal suggests a new understanding between France and Italy in regard to the States of the Church, The Prussian oiiicial journal declares in positive terms that the Italians were not encournged to attack Rome by promises of Prussian support. The Belvian geunmakers are busily engaged at¢present ‘m supplying breech-loading arms to the French and Prussian governments at one and the same time, A meeting of the sbarehoiders of the Royal Bank, Liverpool, was held October 23, and a committoo ape pointed to investigate the afuirs of the concern. The session of the Catholic University of Ireland was Gpened October 23, in presence of Cardimal Cullen and the prelates in Dublin, and a large and distinguished } assembty Of the laity, The inaugural address was do- livered by the rector, the Very Rev. Bartholomew Woodlock. Mr. W. Lloyd Garrison was received by his admirers in Leeds, Engtand, at. a meeting in the Town Hall on the 21st of October, which, however, was not very, largely aitended. Mr. Baines, M. P., took the chair, and, intro- ducing Mr. Garrison, pointed out how much bad been done by Yorkstire representatives for the abolition of slavery, aod reminded the company that-Mr. Garrison considered the emancipation of the negro worth the “nvers of blood and mountains of debt” which were the cost at which it had been purchased, Troops had commenced moving to the various towns in the north of England where the risk of Fenian troubles was considered greatest, A war steamer had arrived at Liverpool and taken up her position in the Mersey. The Duke of Cambridge paid a visit vo Admiral Far. ragut, on the Franklin, at Portsmouth, on the 19th of October, and was received with royal honors. The United States squadron, under the command of Admiral D, G. Farragut, comprising the screw frigate Franklin, tho screw sioop Ticonderoga and paddle yacht tender Frolic, sailed from Spiihead for Piymouth Sound and Lisbon October 20. The London Times, speaking of the departure of the American squadron, says:— ‘There has been no iron-ciad of importance to submit to Admeral Farragut’s inspection; but in the Water Witch the gallant Admurai found a “novelty,” and one that yet, by a simple rearrangement and adjnstment of the water wheel propelling principle, may effect some astonishing results, The Dublin Freeman's Journal of the 2lst of October says:— The transatlantic cable between France and the United States—Bre-t and New York—will offer superior advan- tazes to that of Eogland, as the prices will be much reduced, from S0f. to 60f. To expedite the duiivery of despatches and prevent probable confusion, it is pro- posed to establish two classes of telegraphy - the express: and theordinery, ‘he express, which will cost more, wi e a8 promptly as possible, and be delivered al the place of destination by messengers on horseback; the ordinary will be arranged as at present. The death of the Countess Gainsborough, a distin- gaished member of the Catholic aristocracy of England, is announced. The Catholic Bishop Goss, of Liverpool, who ia a very active social reformer, fas commenced acrusadé against the low dresses worn by ladies at balls. In a recent sermon he stated that ‘at Catholic balls in Liverpool, where Protestants attended, the Catholics might bo known ana distinguished from others by the very ex- travagance of their dress, He had been told that their dresses were lower and more unbecoming than the dresses worn by Protestants. There seems to be a gene- ral tendency to seminudity, and latterly ladies havo taken to shortening their dresses at poth ends, as the sailor burned the candle, probably to expedite their pro- gress to the desired ariness of costume.” é The Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, Commercial Jour- nal of the 18th of Septembar reports:— The demand for most kinds of goods is coufined en- tiredy to the supply of immediate wants, no dealers be- ing inclined to their stock until they can ascer- tain with some certainty the probabie out-tura of our next crops, and thas get 2 good idea of the position of their country constituents, We aro glad that we aro atill able to report very hopefully of our coming harvest. Tn all parts of thocountry, with one or two exceptions, the most genial rains have fallen, bringing the crops to this date to such a condition that farmers ugree in saving they have never had such a. senson. The cargoes to hand during the month have not been many, but, in the present low state of trade, quite sufficient for ali require. ments, A fow articles oniv are inover supply; but these, witb stocks of most other goods, will soon pase off {nto consumption, if next month we heve anything like the fair average demand. THE WAR FOR ROME, SPECIAL MAIL TELEGRAMS TO THE HERALD. Menotti Garibaldi’s Order of the Day. Fronexor, Oct, 18—Evoning. The only news of importance received to-day from the Rowan provinces is the occupation of Urte by the Ro- man Legion, under Major Ghireili. The other insurgent bands do not appear to make progross, In the North they still remain in the vicinity of Acquapondente, nor has any confirmation been recoivod of the news of Me- Botti Garibaldi’s advance after the engagement at Monte Libretti, near Nerola, The bulletins of the Relief Com- mittee lately aeserted that the whole province of Frosi- hone was in revolt, and that the Pontifical troops were rapidly fatling back upon Rome, Nevertheless, the lasest engagements in that quarter were at Vatlecoran and Fatvaterra, small places very close to the frontior, in which the insurgents were repulsed. Menotti Garibaldi issued the following ORDES OF THE DAY after the engagement at Monte Libretti;— Hearqvanrens, Nenota, Oct, 14, 1867. Compasions tn Aums—Yeaterday we were victorious, and volunteers ought to conquer when they fight in a cause like ours, The victory cost us some lose, Let the blood shed by the martyrs urge us to emuiate thotr example. We may be proud of having put to fight the enemy, who contests with us the possession of our soll; but Tam bound to remind you of the daties of the sole dier before the enemy—order, discipline and obedience. Tho commander has the grief of announcing the irre- parable ioss of two of our brave comrades and recom. mends to the honorable memory of ail the names Rossini and Capuani, who fell whue bravely fighting in de fence of their country, I tmpatioatly await to recetve the names of those who distinguished themsetves in the engavement Yesterday in order shat thoy may appear in orders of the day. It te por without emotion that I here record the name of the gallant Major Fararl, who, the foremost at the head of a company encouraging his men under a heavy Gre, had his worse killed ander bim aad wae severely wounded in the Isft foot, Let us Imitate him and we aball do our duty.

Roma, Oct. 18—Evening. The constant recurrence ot the bulletin, “Rome is, tranquil,” is likely to engender amoug peopie at a dis- tance a deceptive motion of the state of things in the Apgstolic city. Whilo wolves and roaring lions rage without, the great fold rests in unmoved contentment under the mild sway of its triple-crowned shepherd. Here is the model for al! earthiy governments, a father ‘dwelling amid his children and strong in their love; a monarch who reigns in the hearts of his peopie; prince, apostie, patriarcn, king—the human and divine justly attempered, conferring biessings and gratetully blessed, Such is (he dreamily blissful Arcadian vision conjured up by the fervent zealots of the temporal power, and ‘tia wondrous pity that it is mdeed “but the baseless fabric of a vision,” leaving ‘not a wreck behind” when sober fact breaks the spell of imagmation. We have heard of those who made adesert avd called it peace. Such peace has*Rome. The shepherd dogs of the Roman flock, represented by a yery numerous and un- scrupulous police, have, siace I last addressed you, been ceaselosely thinning the ranks of the dangerous or sus- Pected classes, Deportations to the frontier have bo- come common of late, the prisons being preity weil fu!t to the utmost limit of their capacity, Evor since the outbreak of the insurrection in the provinces, the city has worn the aspect of a place in a etate of nlege; but the military precautions are now greater than ever, Nightly patrols of cavalry, a complete chain of military posis established throughout the city, and every arrangement made for mercilessly crushiag out any attempt at revolt, Castle St. Angelo now really deserves its name, and hag been rendered capable of standing a long, close siege. Ite armament of artillery ie perfect, a tall supply of military stores for the gar- rison fills the magazines, and all is prepared to enable the Pope and Cardivals to shut themselves up at any moment as mm a second Noah’s ark, and escape the overwhelming flood of revolution, As I observed ona former occasion, however, revolution, when it comes, ‘will respect the person of Pius IX., although it may not be so nico with regard to some of the Cardinals and other ecclesiastical dignitaries, who have long used their power with an iron band. With these there are many who havea heavy account to settle for past acts of in- Justice, extortion and wrong. Men arbitrarily banished from home and family, and driven, perhaps, to bog their bread in éxile, others ruined in reputation and fortune by Jong imprisonment on suspicion, and all the numerous sufferers from the worst and most corrapt government on carth, do not easily forget their grev- ances when the whirligig of the brings ite revenges. Rome may at present be said to be slumbering on a volcano, or perhaps a powder ma; e, although a humbler, would be a bettor simile. The. Pontifical gov- ernment very well knows the powder is somewhere, that the train is laid and only requires the match to firo it, But all the offorts of the police are vain; they are impotent to discover the maguzine, and therefore seek to apply a general “damper’’ by numerous promis- cuons arrests, Nevertheless, they do not soem to get hold of the right men, since the committee issue their orders to the heads of sections, and these again to the rank and file of the revolutionary party, without mter- ruption. Constant communication ie also maintained with the insurgents in the provinces and with friends in Italy. Subscriptions are regularty collected for the Organization of the movement in Rome, and every pre- paration is made to render the action of the party, when decided apon, rapid and decisive, It will be somewhat diMcult to control the fone pent up fires of révolution in Rome when once they bave barst forth, and for this reason the National Commitiee, Fhieh is strictly monarchical in principie, is anxious for the arrival of the Italian troops immediately after the outbreak ‘of revolt, in order that King Victor Emanuel's richt may be placed in no jeopardy by Mezzinian. or even Garibaldian partizans, the latter not being just at pres- ent too well affected towards his Majesty, on aceount of the treatment suffered by Garivaidi. The National Committee was formed nearly six years ago, and re- csived a regular subsidy from the italian government of that day With which it established a porfect orvaniza- tion, Bat upon Ratazzi’s accession to power, that min- fater thought Mt to make light of the usefuluess of the committee and declined to continue the subsidy, in con- sequence of which maay expenses incurred fell og the members themecives, ono of them, ‘or instance, baving to defray as much as $250 from his own pockot, The committees decided, therefore, upon withdrawing from the direction of affairs, and wore further moved to take that step by the rising opposition of the Mazzi- pjans aud ‘baled The committee were alwa: adverse to the bberat tive, preferring that the Italian troops should take pe sessivn of Rome, aiter the manner ia which the Marches and Umbria were annexed to italy, In again undertaking the leadership of the revoin- ary movement there is no doubt that the eommit« come to an understanding with the Floreu Cabinet, and that the breach with Ratazzi healed, ‘tho moment of ineurrection im Rome fs now very o in fact’ some itnpatience has been manifested Any consideration base: inont in the provinces, Why wait until are at the gates of Rome ‘ou will then, It is urged, bave the whole of tne Pontifical army within tho city, whereas at present fully haif of it has been despatched to different points in the provinces, Inetrrection in Rome is sufficient to cali forth the intervention of the Ttalian troops, and that cannot be brought about too soon, Such js the reasoning of many, ana | arm inclined to side with it, I think prudenes may be carried woo a too protracied delay may diminish the ardor of the peo) Thera ia alro the great danger abead of French aod Spantsh intervention, or worse stitl, a combination of the Powers to guarantee the tem- ive power, either of which the Pope |s n moving wen and earth to bring about. If successful Italy would be checked, and the Romans, left to themseives aud overwhelmed by vastly superior force, could do Rothing. I cannot imagine any moment more favoravic t it should stilt be delayed from upon th the Pontilicalarmy, Tbe cierzy ia France and are holdine special prayers for the speedy deliverance of the Hely Father out or his present aiflictions, and recommend service among lis defenders as port to Heaven. | do not know whether they ge Jensth of the sohammedaa noiion, according to which the soul of tuo true believer slain iu battle went stralent to paradise, But (heir preachings have had some cftect, for arrivais of trom fifty to one hundred men have been very frequent from France and Belgium, with now and then & detachment from Spain and Austria. Tho Romans very justly regard this asa sort of marked intervention totaliy at variance with tne September convention. People are not we}! satistied av Rome at the progress of the rsurrection, It is true that the number of insur- gents daily increases, but there does not appear to b» a corresponding extens.on of operations, Inthe north the insurgents buve even lost ground; for, whereas a week ago they had aavanced to the southern extremity of Lake Boiseua, and captured several places east and west of it, they have now ret-eated to Acquapendente. Only ap advanced guard, tadeed, are iu toat nejgubornood, as the insurgent headquarters in the north have been es- tablished at Torre Alfiva, north of Acquapendente and close to the frontier. News has been received here that Acerbi’s column, which held that position, had beon beat- en back by tbe Pontifical troops, and was compelled to cross the frontier; bot this comes trom Ponuileal sources, and needs confirmation. Nevertheless, 1 is certain that we have no pews of the presence of msurgent bands near Montefia:cone aud Toscanelia, as at the ouiset, bat on the other hand we have the cheering intelligence that Major Ghireili has crossed the itat an frontier with 1,200 Roman omigranis, and occupied the Pontitical town of Orte ov the 17th inst, Orte lies east of Viterbo, and is a station on the railway which runs southward to Rome. ‘The corps commanded by Major Ghirelli is a fine’body of men, of§cered by Romans wno bavo resigned trom the Italian army expressly for thia purpose, They will act independently of any other insurgent command. aud from their discipline and compleve aud excellent equip- Ment great things are expected of them, Major Gbirelt left part of his force in Orie temporarily and ‘With (he rest proceeded southward, ‘The insurgenis in the east and south have largely in- creased their number siuce the date of my last commna- nication. Menotti Garibaldi, who, a3 the telegraph will have informed you, has been appotuted by bis father to the chief command of the insurrectiooal movement until Garinaldi nimself shall be able to joi his friends and redeem his pledged word to the Romans, has held his headquarters at Nerola, about twenty-five miles northeast of Rome, for some days On the 14th inst. he advanced to Monte Libroiti, a mile or two further, and here hud a very obstinate engagement with the Pontifical troops, m Which he was slightly wounded He si how- ever, in thoroughly routing the enemy, with considora- bie loss, Fresh Pontifical reinforcements were imme- diately dospatched against Menotti’s force, but the former, 28 we learn from an official telegraptie despatch received in Rome this evening, found no trace of the insurgents, either at Monte Librett: or Nerola It is supposed, therefore, that Menotti has moved southward towards l'alombara, nearer Rome, and that be will be reinforced by Major Salomone’s column, now on its way from Tubiaco to join bim, Deputy Nicotera is operating on the border of the province of Frosi- none, just within the Pontifical territory, and will also move to join Menotti, Another insurgent band, commanded by Major Cucchi, bas been re- pulsed on the fronticr of the province of Velletri, ut Vallecorsa and Falvaterra. Thus in Villetei and Frosi- none the insurgents have as yet made no great hend- V and are stili congregated near the frontier. In addition to the more discipiined bands under the leaders mentioned, there are otber smaller insurgent detach- ments in the moantains ali along the frontier, Which is daily being crossed by parties of volunteers, These bands join the first insurgent column they meet, or someties unite with other fresh arrivals tike them- selves. Large quantities of arms and ammupiliva are Bow conveyed over the Neapolitan frontier, and Menotti is even said to possess two pieces of cauuon, His strength at last accuunts amounted to three thousaod men. His movements attract the chief attention of the Poptitical troops, since be possesses the Jargest and best Eg ager force, towards which ail the other bands im the south are now gravitating. It is hoped tbat, Monotti’s next movement will be adecisive one. If Palombara be bis costination it isa considerable step on the way to Rome, and wich salo- moue’s and Nicotera’s reinforcements be will be very trong. Major Ghirelli’s Roman on will also create ® powerful diversion in bis favor and still further divide the Pontifical troops, The engagement at Monte Lji- roti! was the most insportant aifair that bas taken place since the disastrous ight at Ba:narea, in the no’ at which tho insurgents losteo heavily, We cannot fail to have decisive bows mm a day or two reintive to progpects of the insurrection ; but meanwhile the Romans: should act while yet free from foreign intervention, for should that take place their liberation will be adjourned until a very indefintte period. ‘The following is an @xact account of the compontion of the Pontifical army, which may be of iterest at the Present moment :— 1.

Beruin, Oct, 19, 1867, ‘Tho Keichstag has boen discussing these last two days the dill on military duty, which was passed last night, with few alterations, by a large majority. Two social democratic members, Messrs. Liebkmecht and Bebel, from Saxony, deciaimed aga‘nst all standing armies, whicb serve, us seen eighteen years ago, to suppress the rights of the poople. “Ali German States with large standing armies have ewpioyed them to fetter liberty, and Prussian soldiers were marched into Baden to throw down German union and freedom,”” (Here the President, Herr Simson, remioded Herr Liebknecht to be careiul in his remarks.) ‘Another purpose of stand- ing armies should be the protection against foreign enemies. How our army has failed in that ja shown by Jena, by Luxemburg, by North Schleswig and the shameless oppression of Ger- man nationality in the German provinces of Russia, The only line to bind States securely together is justice; tory will, without noticing, pass by this North Ger- mao Bagd and its Reicustag,a mero fig leaf to hide naked absolutism.” (Great excitement, cries of “Down with him,” “Fy,” &c.) President—*i call the member to order for his last remark.’”? The other member, Herr Bebei, cited the words of a former Prussian Minister of ‘War, Herr Von Strotha, who bas admitted “that threo months were suflicient to exercise soldiers, but that much more time was requisite to drive a military apirit into them.” To root out democratic ideas and drive in military spirit is the political aim of the bill before the House; # democratic mstitution 18 to be converted into » Cwzaristic one—the Bund Chancelior and Emperor Na- poleon have taught each other how. If you co on ia this way the military system will surely be overthrown; as it cannot be done by Payiiamentary action, it will be doue by force, to have provoked which you must ac- case yourselves. A motion te amend one of the par- agraphs authorizing the government to cail upon the reserves if the army shouid require ecessary in- erease’’—by striking out these vague terms and substi- tuting—in if mobilization or war, provoked lively opposition of (Bo Minister of War, Herr Von Room aud General Moltke; Count Bismarck even throatened to withdraw the whole bill, which had the desired effect, and produced a final vote of 165 ages to 81 nove.

So there is uittie danger of Count BI-marck's allowing bis political kith aud kin to destroy each other—a questionable compliment to Mr. Brawn. A circular bas been issued by the standing committee of the Gross Deutsche party in Hazover saying that as the majority of tts members deem it useless to take part 4m tho coming election for the Yrussian Diet, it recom- menda an entire abstinence from the canvass. Of course nothiog can be more weicome to Count Bismarck than such ‘masterly inactivity,” which strovgly re- sembles that of the man who was eontent to chew Lis own olfactory to spite the resi of his face.
