ARRIVAL OF THE R.M.S.S. CYPHRENES, WITH THE SAN FRANCISCO MAIL.

(From Auckland Exchanges.) London, August 10. THE GLASGOW RIOTS. Special despatches to the Standard from Glasgow report that sixty rioters, many of whom are badly hurt, were brought before the magistrates yesterday morning, and remanded to gaol. Rioting broke out again in the suburbs on Monday, and the volunteers and regular troops were ordered to hold themselves in readiness, but the disturbance was quieted by the reading of the Riot Act. It is remarked that mobs of Catholics armed with hatchets, steel knuckles, and knives, are organised and acting under leaders. It is reported that several of the men in custody are Head Centres. August 14. A despatch to the Standard reports a hurricane and hailstorm at Pontoise, 20 miles north-west of Paris. Many houses were unroofed; Windows and chimneys were everywhere demolished. In the surrounding country, to the distance of several miles in every direction, cattle were killed and fruit trees and vines destroyed. A number of people were badly injured by the hail stones, which were of enormous size, and it is feared that some will die from their injuries. The tempest lasted only half an hour, but the damages it caused in that time is estimated at £20,000. August 21. A large warehouse at Gloucester was burned this morning, with its contents, including many thousand quartersof grain. The building was a nine-storied structure, 1,200 ft. long. August 24. The foot and mouth disease has broken out with great virulence in Dorsetshire, where 12,000 animals are down with it. The distemper is spreading rapidly to other parts of England. August 20. The News correspondent at Paris reports that ex-President Thiers declines to be a candidate for the Senate, preferring to remain in the Lower House. August 30. Late advices from the Government Polar Expedition have been received from West Greenland. The Alert and Discovery have arrived at Disco after a pleasant passage from England. Both sailed from Rittenbenk on July 17 for Upernavik. All on board were well. September 12. The Brewer’s Guardian says: “ The prospects in England csntinue fair for a full average yield of hops of good quality. On the Continent rain is needed, and unless it comes soon the crops will be decreased and the quality deteriorated. In Germany the hopfields are somewhat troubled with mould and vermin. In Belgium the yield will be largely over the average. Paris, August 17. The weather has been unusually warm to-day, the thermometer registering 100 degrees in the shade. Dublin, August 31. The synod of Irish archbishops and bishops of the Roman Catholic Church, summoned by Cardinal Cullen, under the express authority of the Pope, met at Maynooth to-day. Cardinal Cullen presided. The proceedings were held with closed doors. It is understood that the educational question will be the principal subject of deliberation before the synod. The schooner Mary E. Jones sailed from Clyde River, Shelburne County, for Boston, and two sisters, named Sutherland, were passengers. Shortly after sailing the two women were brutally outraged by the captain and the crew, except one man, who now tells the story. They were then killed, and the bodies thrown overboard.

A gentleman was attacked in a street of Santiago, robbed and stripped of his clothes, by four men. They extracted from him a promise not to give any alarm, or he would be assassinated. He lost about $2OO.

The great four mile race to come off in November, under the auspices of the Pacific Jockey Club, will be for the largest purse ever given in the world — $30,000 Following are some additional facts concerning the riot which occurred at Clinton, Mississipi:—A large majority of the blacks were unarmed having been cautioned against carrying weapons to the meeting. On Sunday morning at daybreak the Vicksburgers, two thousand of whom were here, commenced slaughtering the negroes. All the colored men they could find were killed in cold blood. Armed bands were organised scouring the country, and the work of slaughter went on. It is estimated that 500 men were thus killed in the county on Sunday, while others had fled to the woods and swamps.

Montreal, September 10. B? Last night the rioters fired stones at the Protestant Cemetery vault, the guard answered by firing fourteen rounds out of their rifles at the hidden foes, who beat a hasty retreat. A close search this morning, failed to show that any one had been wounded. The police are threatened with mobbing as they go to and from duty. The authorities are called upon to send a larger force for the protection of the vault. St. Petersburg, September 7. A telegram has been received from General Kauffman, commanding the Russian expedition against the Khokand rebels, announcing that a battle was fought on the 4th inst., when the Russians completely defeated a force of rebels numbering 30,000, who occupied a fortified position, which General Geolevatichoff stormed. The enemy was pursued fifteen versts, and many of them were killed, and drowned in the Armudaria River. Several a quantity of other war material were captured. The losses of the Russians were inconsiderable. A Herald cable special from Cetignc, Montenegro, September 10th, says all the country between Servia and Montenegro is in full revolt. Fully ten thousand insurgents have taken the field, towns have been sacked, and all the Turkish villages have been burned and the Turks massacred. The Christian inhabitants have taken refuge in the mountains. The Turkish troops are demoralized, and the insurrection is spreading on all sides. Montenegro is prepared for war, and the wildest enthusiasm prevails. A general war is regarded as inevitable. A special in the Morning Standard states that the British Consul has arrived at Mostar. He witnessed horrible cruelties perpetrated by Insurgents, who in one instance roasted children alive. The insurrection is put down—only raids by Servians and Montenegrans take place, and those are exaggerated tenfold. The Journal de Paris, organ of the Orlcanists, publishes a note repudiating the recent pamphlet in which the Compte de Chambord was advised to resign his. pretensions to the throne of France in favor of the Compte de Faris. ‘ *
