This stair led immediately from the station-room down to a cellar, being separated only by a door, which Mr. Wilson had opened, supposing ho was entering a passage leading to another apartment. Mr. Wilson left eight children, and an action was raised in their name, against the Edin burgh and Northern Railway Company, concluding for 8,000/. damages. The case was set down to be tried by a jury yesterday (Wednesday), but after the Court had met, we understand a compromise was agreed to, by which the company bound themselves to pay to the chil dren of Mr. Wilson the sum of 1,1001., each party pay ing their own expenses.—Caledonian Mercury. On Wednesday a man unknown was brought from the ship liottinguer, lying in the river. Ho was in a deplorable state, his body being worn almost to a ske leton. It is said that ho stowed himself away at New York, and, when found, could not bo induced to leave the place where he had secreted himself; that subse quently, in consequence of refusing sustenance, he lost the use of his reason, and to relapsed into the state in which he was when brought to the hospital. An inquest will bo hold to-day, when the circumstances of the case will be fully inquired into.—Liverpool Mercury. Loss OF THB BARQUE " ROSANNA." —We aro sorry to learn that this vessel ran on a rock near Cape Wrath, on the morning of the 16th current, and has become a total wreck, all hands, with the exception of the captain, having perished.—Dundee Advertiser. EXTRAORDINARY TELEGRAPHIC FEAT.—President Polk's cumbrous message, containing upwards of 50,000 words (I), was flashed all the way from Baltimore to St. Louis in twenty-four hours, and this, too, with the mi nutest punctuation mark in the document. Copies were also dropped on the way, at York, Harrisburg, Carlisle, Chambersburg, Bedford, and Pittsburg, in Pennsyl vania; Massillon, Cleveland, Zanesville, Columbus, Dayton, and Cincinnati, in Ohio; Madison and Evans ville, in Indiana; Louisville, in Kentucky; and Saline, in Illinois. The gentlemen who accomplished this won de; ful mental, mechanical, and electrical feat are Messrs. O'Reilly, of the Atlantic and Lake Telegraph Company, and 11. J. Rogers, of the American Telegraph Company, who wished to prove beyond all cavil that the lightning line can be made available for the transmission of large documents as well as for short messages, and we think they have pretty well satisfied the public of their ability to do it. Messrs. Reddish and Hough, of Philadelphia, connected with the O'Reilly line, were detained for the most important part of the duty to be performed, that of writing the entire document in Baltimore. Their arduous task was begun on Tuesday, shortly after the message came to hand, and at a few minutes before two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon finished their almost Herculean undertaking—at which hour the signature of James K. Polk and the Washington date were written as plain and legibly as the caption had been, 24 hours previously. The two operators were at work, re lieving each other occasionally, during the entire time, with the exception of a couple of hours, when they were interrupted by a storm at the western end of the line.—New York Express. POWER OF THE PRESS.—The Hants Independent says—" The press is very powerful—but it can't after all induce its correspondents to write only on one side of the paper when they nut their letters printed." The National contains the following remarks on the statement of the Minister of Finance in the National Assembly on Wednesday : ".As long as the Minister of Finance shall not have proved that nothing can be taken away from the Budget of Expense, we shall continue to demand that the reduc tion of two-thirds be adopted. The budget of Public Works amounts, for 1849, to the enormous sum of 193,000,000. If it were reduced to 170,000,000, would there not rersain enough of public works for the year? Or if a reduction of 23,000,000 f. be too great for that item, has it been demonstrated that the security of the country would be compromised if some thousands of men were reduced from our immense army? That cannot be sustained. But what is certain is, that the Government, yield ing to the tendency of all Governments, will de fend with obstinacy the 23,000,000 E in question as long as there is a chance of having them, and will do without them, if they are refused. We be seech the Assembly, therefore, to pay less at tention to the financial question and more to the mo ral and political ones. A revolution would be an evil without compensation, if the condition of the people were not ameliorated by it. The Republican era ought to be marked in the memory of the poorer classes by salutary reforms,:by a positive, material, and palpable alle viation of their sufferings. But of all the imposts which w eigh on them, the duty on salt is the most disastrous, the most unequal, the most odious. Let it not be said that they are accustomed to it; they bear it, but with curses. Let the Republic relieve them of this over whelming burden, and they will bless the Republic. That is the essential point, and we conjure all truo Re publicans to reflect on it." . The Evenement states that M. Guizot will arrive in Paris in the early part of the next month, and mentions a report that he will plus himself at the MONSTER PIGS.—Two pigs belonging to Mr. John Hall, Barton Vicarage, Westmoreland, were slaughtered on Monday, the 18th instant, by Jokn Cannon, of Sock bridge, twelve months old, which weighed, together, 65i stones.—Carlisle Journal. THE FREE NAVIGATION OF THE ST. LAWRENCE. — The adjourned meeting of the inhabitants of Montreal, in favour of repealing the English navigation-laws, so far as Canada is concerned was, say the Montreal papers, attended by two or three thousand persons, and the proceedings characterised by unanimity and In thusiasm. WANTON MURDER IN CORK.—.About the hour of eight o'clock on the evening of Sunday last, a sailor, named Michael Mahony, whilst in a state of intoxication on Merchant's Quay, caught hold of a boy who was quietly passing by, and without the slightest provoca tion stabbed him in the right side. The boy immedi ately fell, and the offender was taken into custody. Alter being taken to the North Infirmary, it was ascer tained that the wound was of a most dangerous charac ter; and the wounded boy was considered in so critical a position that it was deemed advisable to take his depo sitions. Mahony was then conveyed to the infirmary, where he was recognised by the boy as the person who stabbed him, aud committed to Bridewell. The boy died in ta few hours after, At Rio Janeiro were her Majesty's frigate Inconstant, 36, Captain John Shepherd, and her Blajesty's packet brig Crane, 6, Lieutenant Commander John Parsons, homeward bound, waiting the return mail. The brigan tine lii strel, Lieutenant Commander Henry Baker, was gone southward with the Crane's mail. The American frigate Brandywine, and the French corvette Triom phante, with several Brazilian men-of-war, were at Rio. The United States' corvette St. Louis had sailed for the River Plate. From Rio the Calliope brings specie valued at about 150,0001. The Calliope is rather crank and overmasted, but otherwise is considered a fine ship, and sails fairly. Her crew are in a healthy state, and have been so during their absence from England. She has only lost five hands, viz., three by casualties and two in action—one, a blue jacket, at Orokiwi, and another, a marine, at Ruapekapeka. The Hon. Henry Petre comes home pssionger from New Zealand. Some of the officers of the Calliope are under arrest on a charge of forgery at New Zealand, which will lead to a court-martial. His Excellency the Governor-in-Chief had just 'pub lished, in the New Zealand Government Gazette, an ex tract from the minutes of the Executive Council, dated August 19, 1848, in which they express their gratitude to the captain, officers, and crew of the Calliope, for - . EXTRAORDINARYFORTUNE. -- A labourer named Worth, employed in the rope-yard at Devonport dock yard, has, by the death of his uncle, come into very considerable property.

ITALY. The Concordia of Turin, states from Pavia, that on the day a Te Deum was to be sung in honour of the accession of the Emperor, inscriptions were everywhere met with on the walls, to the fol lowing effect :—" Death to the new tyrant, Francis Joseph! It is aDe Profundis, not aTe Deum, that ought to be sung." On that day also, most of the inhabitants visited the cemetery instead of the church. SICILY. We read in the Official Journal of Palermo, of the 18th, that General Antonini, who distinguished him self in the last campaign by the heroic defence of Vicenza, has taken service under the Sicilian Govern ment. In a proclamation, dated the 10th, he recom mends the increase of the regular army, order, and discipline, and union, to succeed in the serious struggle which awaits the island. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, DEC. 24.—N0 further accounts have yet been received respecting _Raab ; all are looking for ward anxiously to the result of the attack of this city, though there can be no question that it also must fall before our troops. By accounts from Presburg of the 21st, we learn that that city and the whole of the environs have been declared in a state of siege by General Wrbna. The usual measures are of course adopted —protection of the persons and property of peaceable citizens ; severity against all persons holding seditious language or meetings ; prohibition of public placards without the sanction of the mili tary authorities; dissolution of the National Guard; giving up all arms and weapons in the space of twenty-six hours; all transgressors of these measures to be subject to trial by court-martial ; all foreigners and travellers are to quit the place, and every house holder is to be responsible for the persons resident beneath his roof; no passport is valid unless counter signed by the military commander.
