,;,.coated everything combustible by 10 o'clock. Tan. defying the sickening stench, people came to look for their lost ones. Oh, what a sight the fair, placid moat looked down upon Close-packed crowds of calcined tertad forms, wearing the fearful expression of the last T . 04, whose smile ins once a heaven—the ghastly pha hos of black statues, twisted in every variety of agony, stretching out their arms as imploring mercy, and then of the heap that had choked up the door, multitudes with the lower parts pe alI rfectly untouched, and some a shapeless masa bet with one arm or foot unscathed. The silence, after those piercing screams were hushed in death was horrible. It was the silence of the grave, un broken but by the bitter wag or fainting cry. Two thousand souls had passed through that m u s t of fire to the judgment seat of God. Heroic acts of sublime d. rr igg have not been wanting. Enduring gratitude h,,.s been excited in every Chilian heart by the pliant efforts of Mr. Nelson, the minister of the United States, his countryman, Mr. Meiggs, and several other foreigners. There were generous men who defied the fury of the fames to save lives, and seme of them, died martyrs to their noble hearts. An Englishman or an America, it is unknown which, was seen to rush through t h e jwges, to seize in his powerful arms a lady, stride with her • little way, and then, his hair in a blaze and choked with smoke, to fall back into the volcano never to r ise again. A young lady named Orells, having in vain im plored some bystanders, on her knees, to save her mother, rushed in and shortly afterwards miraculously lasted forth, b ear ing her glorious load. A young lady named Solar, just before the smoke suffocated her had the presence of mind to knot her handkerchief round her leg, so that her corpse mi4bt be recognised."

THE ROBBERY OF THE DUKE OF BRUNS- IVICE'S DIAMONDS. Our Paris correspondent writes :—" The assize court was crowded on Wednesday by a fashionable audience to witness the trial of the Duke of Brunswick's valet far steel. in; his master's diamonds. The great attraction; however, upon which the ladies bad especially celoulated was left out of the performance. It bad been supposed that thole famous diamonds would have been laid upon the table in court, as pi saes de emeriction, and that the duke himself, with his painted face and black silk wig, would appear in the witoesrbox. Bitter was the disappointment when it became known that neither theduke nor the diamonds would show. His serene highness had been snbpcenaed, but sent a note to the presiding judge to say that he wee indisposed and could not appear. It will be remembered that the diamonds in queetion, which are said to be worth the enormous sum of from 2.000,000 fr. to 3,000,C30fr., were stolen in December last from the *meg safe in which the duke kept them at has residence, No. 21, Rue de Beaujon. By an extraordinary demgation from his usual h►bits, be had loft the outer door of the safe open all night. His valet observing this, at once conceived the project of forcing open the inner door, which he did without difficulty. Taking only the most minable diamonds, and dropping several about the room, he decamped with his booty while the duke was asleep. The telegraph was set working in all directions, and two dtyi afterwards the robber was arrested at Boulogne, just a, he was stepping on board a Folkestone boat. Almost all the diamonds were found upon him ; those missing are r,lued at about 100,C3Clfr. He admits having given one worth 1,400 fr. to a girl with whom he puled a night Mt whose name he refuels to discover. As to the rest he gives no account, except that he must have dropped them in the girl's room, and did not think it worth while to stop to pick them up. The prisoner, on being interro- gated, gave his name as Henry Shaw, 26 years old, and LA he was born at Newoutle-on-Tyne. The judge, bow. ever, said that Shaw was not his real name, because moms letters addressed to him by his father had been found which bore the signature of dherck. The piaster ap pears to have led a wandering life, and to have followed various vocations in various countries. A fellow servant deposed to having heard him confess that he had robbed an uncle at Warsaw of 14,000(r., and that his uncle had told him to go away and get him self hung elsewhere '—an observation which when repeated in court caused great laughter. Shaw did not attempt to deny the robbery, and hie demeanour was cool and impudent in the extreme. He said he did it from motives of vengeance, but as the duke had not chosen to come to the court be should not give anyexplanation or make any defence. M. Lachaud, who appeared for the prisouer, said that his client had, in spite of his pressing and reiterated advice, positively interdicted him from making any defence, and therefore his mouth was closed. The learned counsel, however, proceeded to insinuate mysterious reasons for the duke declining to appear es a witness, but was stopped by the judge, who said that under the pretext that hie tongue was tied he was saying a great deal too much. Shaw, being found guilty without extenuating cir cumstances, was minteuoed to twenty years imprisonment with hard labour." VISIT OP THE QUEEN TO THE ROYAL VICTORIA HOSPITAL. It will be remembered that one of the first visits paid by her Majesty atter her bereavement was to the large military hospital at Netley, which was opened for in valids last spring. She has again shown her care for the army and for this hospital, in which the late Prince Consort tmk a warm interest, by paying it a second **it. She steamed up from t oborne on Thursday, and landed at the hospital about 12 o'cicck. Prince Leopold accompanied her, and she wan attended by the Marchioness of Ely, Coantess Blucher. the Hon. Mrs. Barnes, Sir Charles Phipps., Sir T. M. ltiddulpb, Colonel Yomonlay, and Dr. Hohmann, the tutor to Prime Leopold. It was happil► a splendidly bright day, with a fresh bruise from the north-west. Every one was delighted to observe that the Queen looked decidedly in Letter health than last May, although her face still gives evidence of her severe trial. She proved at once that abs had not forgotten any of the incidents of her former visit by desiring to see first the women's quarters, with which she was not pleased on that occasion. She found the rooms looking much more comfortable, and she subsequently in spectol some rows of cottager which are now being built in the rear of the hospital for the special accommodation of the wives and children of the sick men under treatment in the hospitaL She was satiated with these arrangements. She then visited the wards, a less laborious leak than lad year as these are very few patients in the hospital ; the from the home stations baying now ceased to come, and the ships with the tropical invalids not arriving till a mouth or two later. She said a few kind words to the men in bed, sad then made particular inquiries of Dr. Anderson, the inspector-general, as to the health of the limo to whom she had spoken last year. That officer was no little surprised to tied that the Queen bad a distinct re collection of several came, although her notice of them must have been almost momentary. She also entered the dining hall, where the men who are able to leave their beds were at dinner, and carefully inspected the arrangements there. She then left the hospital and went to the medical officers' mess-room—a hue large room, which has just been completed, and in which are placed her own portrait and that of the Prince Consort. presented by herself. She expressed her approval of everything, and desired that she be informed when the invalids from the foreign stations would arrive, so that it is hoped Nattily will be honoured by another visit. She inquired particularly whe ther there bad been any effluvia from the mud during the Comm.,. and when told there had been no annoyance of the kind, said she had sever anticipated that there would be. She also made particular inquiries about the ventilation of the hospital. During her visit she was attended by the retire military and medial staff, including Colonel Wil braham, C the Commandant, Dr. Anderson, Inspector- General ; Deputy-Inspectors Loogruore and Maclean.

The demand for International Financial shares con tinues. A good effect has been produced by the large purchase of gold made by the Bank of Eng land yesterday, and by news of an improvement having occurred this morning at Paris in the French funds. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted 66fr. 50c., being rather more than per cent. better than yesterday. Consols are now quoted 0011 to i both for money and the account (February 4). The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent.

HALF-PAST Two O'CLOCK. Console close at 90i for money, and 9ot to Or the account In the Stock Exchange yesterday, though money was agood deal wanted, the rate on govern ment securities scarcely exceeded 7 per cent., but in the afternoon much preasure arose, partly in connexion with the completion of the settlement ; 8 per cent. was charged for loans on English government securities, and in some instances even 9 was paid. The high value of money still acts as a check to the exportation of gold from England to the Con tinent In consequence, about 108,000/. in American eagles, forming a portion of the 211,0001. by the steamers City of Baltimore and New York, was taken to the Bank yesterday. The steamer Amato, with the mails from the West Indies and Mexico, has brought uo less than 750,0001. in specie ; of which 395,930/. is in bar silver and Mexican dollars, and 355,0001. in gold. The proportion in gold is unusually large. The Mexican dollars amount to about 70,0001. A por tion of the silver is not of a kind suitable for transmission to the East. There is a good demand for silver for transmis sion to Bombay, rid Marseilles. The present price for bars is ss. 1 d. per ounce. Owing partly perhaps to the diminished appre hension of war, the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon, notwithstanding the tightness of our money market, were rather less favourable for this country. The rates were as follows : Amsterdam, 3 months, 121 to 1 : ditto, 3 dap, ILI7 to 18; Rotterdam, 3 mouths,l2l toy ; Antwerp, 3 mouths. 25.65 to 70; Hamburg, ma. bump, 3 months, 13.74 to 8 ; Peri, 3 days, 25.25 to 321; ditto. 3 maths, 23.75 to 80 ; Fnakfortem-the-Maise, 3 months, 1191 to a Sc.

The rates of discount now current in the principal continental cities are generally much above those prevailing here, being as follows, viz. :—Paris, 6} per cent ; Vienna, 6 ; Hamburg and Frankfort, 4; Turin, 7 ; Amsterdam, 5; Berlin, 4} ; Brussels, 51 : and St. Petersburg, 8 per cent. The suspension is announced of Messrs. Orchard and Co., of Regent-street, an old and respectable firm of drapers. The liabilities are estimated at 50,000/. ; but the assets are understood to be con siderable. The books of the firm have been placed in the hands of Mr. J. White, the accountant Advices from Calcutta announce the failure of Mr. H. E. Braddon, of the firm of Braddon and Co., merchants, with liabilities to a considerable extent, and little or nothing in the shape of assets. The stoppage appears to have arisen chiefly from heavy speculations in shares, which resulted un favourably. Mr. Braddon was recently elected High Sheriff of Calcutta. The dividends on North Eastern Railway stocks were officially announced yesterday as follows : Berwick, at the rate of Eri per cent. perlsonum, against 5 for the corresponding period of 1862 ; York, 5, against 4} ; Leeds, 3, against 2} ; Car lisle, 71., against 7 ; and Darlington, 8, against 8. An unfounded rumour of the resignation of Mr. J. K. C. Koch, manager of the London Financial Association, having been circulated, causing a fall in the shares ou Thursday afternoon, the fol lowing contradiction was forwarded yesterday to the Stock Exchange : Loodon Financial Associatioe (Limited). Temporary offices, 1, liireadneedlsstreet, Jan. 29. Dear Sir,—A report having been cirmilrted that I have relinquished the manage• meet of this associatioe. I beg to my there is no (emulation for such rumour. I still retain the managerneu., and I adopt this course of writiog to you upon the representation of several large shareholders. (Siped) J. E. O. Hoch. Itihill Slaughter. . Son Railway Dtpartmeat, soca, Exchange. At the second half-yearly meeting of the United Kingdom Railway Rolling Stock Company (Limited), held yesterday, the report of the directors and balance-sheet were received and adopted, and a dividend was declared for the past half year at the rate of 6 per cent per annum, free of income tax. The amount to the credit of profit and loss was equal to the payment of a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent per annum, but iu the present early stage of the company's existence it was thought better to carry over the balance to the next half year. The report of the directors of the Australian Agricultural Company, to be presented at the half yearly meeting on the 2nd February, recommends, out of the balance in hand, a divi lend of 7s. 6d. rer share, free of income tax, payable on the 16th February. The ship John Linn, of 1,596 tons, from Bombay to Liverpool, has been abandoned at sea, water logged. In addition to a valuable cargo of East India produce, she had 3,133 bales of cotton on board, so that the loss is very serious. FIUDAT EM MO.

Within the last day or two these his bees greet ex. ©tamest in the neighbourhood of Smithfield, arising from the alleged attempted murder of • woman named Martha Parker, the wife of a pork butcher, under very shocking dr eam:dance.. For some time past, a man named Nathaniel Eustau Parker, by trade a pork butcher, resided at No. 21, Charter-hones-street, with his wife, who was upwards of GO years of age. It is said that there were constant quarrels between them is consequence of the latter being given to habits of intemperance. On Wed. today evening the man returned home himself some what under the influence of drink. he having partaken of some rum at a neighbouring public-house, and when be entered the room he bad in his possession a chopper, or hatchet. The usual quarrelling was renewed, and be violently abused his wife. as, he said, the was in toxicated grain. The first statement subsequently made by the unhappy woman was to the meet that he pulled out his chopper and prepared to sharpen it, and that then he rushed at her with it. She ran away, and he chimed her around the room. She rushed to the window, and opened it to make her escape, and he pitched her out with great force, and she fell headlong down from the first floor window cm to the flags beneath. The fact of • fearful disturbance hiving taken place, and of the poor woman's being found terribly injured under neath the window is beyond dispute, and the account given by the sufferer to the neighbours who ran to take her up and convey her to the hospital, we. the foregoing. She was placed in the ward of St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where she was examined by Mr. Vernon, one of the hour surgeon*. She was found to have sustained fearful internal injuries, and had received contusions of a severe character all over the body. The police were made acquainted with the foregoing facts, and front the information of a confirmatory character which they received, they have arrested the husband on the charge of attempting the woman's life. When the wife found that he was arrested she altered the statement which she had previously given, and said that she herself leapt out of the window. She gives u her reason for having done so the fact that her husband spoke so excitedly that she was apprehensive that be might attack her with the chopper which he had in his hand. She now denies that he chased her round the room, or that he flung her down from the window. The accused will be brought up for examination before the ma gistrates at Guildhall this morning. It was stated at the hospital that the woman is in an almost helpleu state, acid is rapidly sinking from her internal injuries. The window from which she is said to have been precipitated is nearly 20 feet above the flagged pavement.
