At least £40,000 of the pre-preference stock would be taken by the creditors in reduction of their claims, conditionally on the other portions of the arrangement being carried out. This, with the produce of the sale of the Deeside shares, would reduce the balance due to the banks to little over £200,000, which the direc tors hoped might ultimately be entirely liquidated by the disposal of the pre-proforence stock to be created under the bill.

Mr. Burns had since been in• conimunication with the two boardsof directors on the subject, and they have agreed to the p ro p ose d lien in the following modified form :—",lf th e amalgamated lines shall not yield a dividend e qua l to what the Glasgow and South-Western by itself has produced, the share holders of the latter shall have a lien on the pro duce of their own line up to but not.exueding four per cent. ; such arrangement to terminate at the expiry of 10 years from . the date of opening the amalgamated railway throughout from Glasgow to London. Miscellaneous American News. _ -4.- The Legislature of Virginia has passed an Act providing for the payment of 2 per cent. interest on the State debt on July 1, 1867, and 2 per cent. on January 1, 1868. Until there is a settlement of accounts with the new State of West Virginia, the Legislature does not consider that Virginia owes more than two-thirds the debt, and " 4 per cent. per annum oh the whole" is, according to the Richmond Inquirer, " equivalent to 6 per cent. on two-thirds of the debt." After a debate the Senate has almost una nimously ratified the treaty with Russia for the cession of Russian America to the United States. The Times, in a leading article yesterday, contrasts this sale with the proposed cession of Luxembourg to the French. Russian America overlaps British America exactly as the Duchy of Luxembourg over laps Belgium. Although a little alarm was felt on the first intelligence of the transaction by the British public the agitation quickly subsided, and the news of the final ratification was received with little con cern. The Times proceeds to explain why the Eng lish people regard this cession with indifference, and why the Germans interfere to prevent the sale of a duchy to France by the King of Holland, which they have no more right to veto than the British have the Russo-American bargain. Our transat lantic possessions must, says the Times, in the very nature of things some day or other, be lost to us, and we have no desire to struggle against the natural course of events.

Rhode Island, the smallest State in the Union, has the densest population per square Wile of any, and in this particillar exceeds any nation of continental Europe except France, which it nearly equals; and sixty per cent. of this population is located oa eleven per cent. of her area.

The amount of capital invested in manufactures is $33,000,000, Nv h jell produced since the last census $103,000,000 of products, and the labour of the State shows the annual production of each man, woman, and child to be $6Ol, while in Massachusetts it is only $4OB.

The ship Purveyor which sailed from New York, on Saturday, took 18,000 bushels of corn to Alabama. The people are suffering terribly in northern Georgia. The commission is informed from a reliable source that many of the people have no bread, and nothing to buy it with. In one family, near Dalton, four children actually died of starvation in February.

ANOTIIEIt HORRIBLE INDIAN MASSACRE,--A letter just received from Fort Rica, Dakota, February 11, contains the following ;—Our latest reports from Buford, if true, are horrible. Three Indians, belonging to the friendly Sioux, camp in and reported that Fort Buford, at the mouth of the Yellow Stone River, was attacked on the sth of January by hostile Indians, who wore re pulsed by the little garrison. On the 15th, after being reinforced, the Indians made a sudden rush on the weakest point, succeeded in getting into the fort, and butchered every. man, woman, and child, not one being left to tell the tale. Tho fort was under the command of Colonel Rankin, and company C, 31st United States 'infantry, was the only company garrisoning the fort. The report is current that these hostile Indians have made a declaration that they intend to drive the United States troops from the Upper Missouri, and that they have conunertood With Fort Evarnoy and Fort Buford. Takias man. into consideration the small number of troops at each post, it would be an easy matter to capture and massacre overy TERRIBLE PANIC IN A CI itc us.—A. furious horse was brought to the "Coliseum" in Chicago, where a horse tamer was i?xhib!ting. The building was densely crowded with spectators. The horse-tamer was about to cotton ?nee to manipulate th 3 irritable. bmto, bat before any result could be achieved the latter made a sudd en h f und f rom th e hands of his owner, who let go the bridle, and sprang wildly animal, nearly into the circle among the au di ence . A scream o f terror rose from every part of the h o us e , an d thi s h a d th e strugg , ed and pranced from one circle of s ea t s t o ano th er effec t. among of t Ile still thickest further o n f ng spectators, the infuriated till liereached to the roof of the circus. At this point the flooring gave way right above the cages where the lions are kept, and the horse fell through, carrying with him a number of the spectators who could not get out of the way A cry was raised that he had fallen directly into the lion's den. Some inconsiderate person shouted at the top of hit voice, " The lions are loose !" which produced an unparalleled sensation among the audience. The portion of them who wore nearest to the dreaded spot made a rush for the other side of the house in the direction of the dress circle, and the fear that the flooring there was about to give way, together with the knowledge that the black lioness and the leopard were immediately beneath, caused an excitement wild be yond all description. The doors were at last thrown open and the crowd escaped with few injuries. The alarm about the lions proved untrue, and when the excitement had sub sided the professor tamed the horse, which had also escaped serious injury.—Boston Advertiser. It seems not unlikely that an attempt will soon be made to " flank" Bringham Young, and dispose satis factorily of the troublesome question of polygamy, which for some years has loomed large and demanded settlement. The Nevada Legislature has been informed by Senator Stewart that he had good reasons for believing that Con grass would be found quite ready, if Nevada would say she was willing, to make the Territory of Utah a part of the State of Nevada. Nevada a pp ears to be willing; and on Feb. 6 the State Senate, by a vote of 14 to 2, ordered and engrossed a resolution favourable to accepting Utah, or the 'State of Deseret ;" for it is true, though not very well known, that the Mormons have a shadowy sort of State Government, with Young as governor, and other Mormons as senators and members of assembly, who annually go through the form of ratifying the acts of the Territorial and National governments. It was, of course, to be ex pected that the citizens of Nevada should entertain a ro bust self-confidence in their ability to " handle" any num her of Mormons and "to clean out Brigham," if need be within a brief period of time. But still it looks very much ' as if Nevada, when she gets Utah, will find that she has been swallowed instead of swallowing. There are, per haps, says the Salt Lake City Union Vedette, 3,000 legal voters in Utah. But there were in 1860 about 20,000 male inhabitants, and although a great majority of these are foreigners their disabilities could soon be removed, and they be made voters. The estimated population of Nevada is 30,000 souls, of whom, to be sure, fewer are women and children than in an equal number of Mormons ; bat yet the voters in Nevada could be outnumbered, it is likely, by those in the Territory. So it is not wonderful that Young expressos his satisfaction with the proposed measure, de clines to send money to Neveda to defeat it, and only stipu lates that the new State shall be called the State of Deseret.— The Nation. The time occupied in a trip from the Missouri River to Salt Lake City now is only eight days. Three of them are occupied on the trip from Omaha. to Denver, and the remaining five from Denver to Salt Lake. In this eight days' travel there are 300 miles of railroad and 900 of staging. At a recent meeting of the Academy of Natural Sciences of California Professor Blake exhibited about 20 fossil vertebrae of what he believes to have been a great marine saurian, or crocodile.

David Johnson, who has had charge of the Go vornment coal fleet at the Mound City (Illinois) navy yard for several years, has committed suicide, because, through a mistake of his in ,measuring, the Government lost four hundred bushels of coal. On this the Watchman and Reflector remarks :--"If all officers who have voluntarily or involuntarily defrauded the Government possessed like tender consciences what a scene of hari-kari the ranks of Government official: would present."

Dr. Howe will leave his family in Italy while he proceeds to Greece to superintend the distribution of the Cretan relief fund ; he will act during his absence as correspon dent of the Boston . Advertiser and the Chicago Tribune. Mrs. Howe's departure will have the effect, it is said, of causing the removal to New York and publication in newspaper form of Northern Lights, the weekly magazine to which the news papers have given a singularly unpleasant recep tion, partly probably because it was a new thing and they didn't understand it, partly because they dislike "Edmund Kirke," which is quite intelli gible.

The directors in their report for the past half year regret their inability to recommend any divi dend even upon the preference stock.

The extraordinary powers of this negro lad are no tricks of tho stage, but performances which have puzzled, and continue to puzzle, the greatest masters. Mr. Howard presides over Tom's entertainment in a manner which displays to the greatest advantage the• powers of his protegi, and leaves on the public a pleasing impression of the kindly feeling which exists between the musical genius and his guardian, and that every opportunity is given to those present to test his powers. The extra ordinary grimaces and antics of the young negro on the stage have led some to conclude that almost every faculty ho possessed was absorbed in one, and that nature in gift ing him with an unequalled ear, and power of analysing sound, was compelled to deprive him not only of sight, but of reasoning faculties. This Mr. Howard denies. "Blind Tom," ho announced, "is not an idiot, but, on the contrary, possesses no ordinary capacity of brain. Still he is peculiar in disposition, and far from being easily controlled." At times both himself and the audience had been astonished at the piece performed in answer to his announcement. Lately in Scotland, during the in terval of rest, the sound of the tuning of a fiddle had come from an adjoining apartment where a dancing master was instructing a class. On returning to the stage, Mr. Howard gave the piece selected, but Tom 'reproduced the sounds on the piano he had just heard, to the surprise and delight of the audience. Mr. Howard invited Tom to repeat the inci dent, which ho did to the satisfaction of all present. A young lady, in response to the manager, stepped iece on the stage and played a difficult and elaborate p. Toni turned his back, put his hand up to his ears, bent his hea forward, and on the conclusion sat down and repeated the selection, with an accuracy so marvellous, that if it wore not well authenticated, people would be justified in think ing that the performance had been pre-concerted. He can analyse the most discordant sounds and re-produce every thing he hears. To him, musical notes are the alphabet, and with his back to the audience, so that even the idea that a glimmer of sight might not account for the fact, he tells the article any one of the audience may hold up to public view, spelling the word by the notes struck on the piano. His touch is exquisite; his voice clear and finely modulated, and he performs in his entertain ment, the most grotesque and extraordinary musical com bination which Mr. Howard terms "monstrosities," with an execution which might well satisfy and delight, the most fastidious taste. PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE, LIVERPOOL. The combination between Messrs. Henderson and Byron the common management of the three leading theatres —however advantageous it may be to the lessees, and probably the drama—has brought about one change which every playgoer in the community will regret. We refer to the retirement of Mr. Edward English, the acting mana ger of the Prince of \Vales Theatre. This gentleman first made the acquaintance of Liverpool people as agent for Mr. E. A. Sothern, when "Lord Dundreary" was a stranger in his native town, and wo are persuaded that not a little of Mr. Sothorn's early success, both in America and and in this country, may be traced to the tact and energy of Mr. English. It is all very well to reflect that talent is sure to be found out by the public, but withoutgood management talent (especially in theatrical matters) stands a very fair chance of growing old before being recognised. This, how ever, was not Mr. Sothern's fate under Mr. English's care. In deed, the palpable success of the latter recommended him to Mr. Henderson for the office of acting manager of the Prince of Wales Theatre, and every ono knows that the anticipation has not been disappointed. In his hands the theatre has boon a pattern of good managenient - underno small difficulties. At the old how in Clayton:nun he PRICY 4d. STAMPED sd. solved the problem of putting a quart into a pint bottle, and that too without making the public indignant at the squeez ing and packing which the feat entailed. This we take to be the highest test of an acting manager's skill - the getting of more "money" into the house - than the house is meant to hob!, without, however, nuking the ire of bilious devo tees of Melpomene and Thalia. The good word every one has to say for Mr. English—the aforesaid squeezing Dot withstanding—is evidence of his adroitness at manage rial legerdemain. For no fault of his own, nor on the part of Mr. Henderson, but solely on account of inexorabl, " , ;ircumstances," Mr. English is about to abandon his double post at t he Prince of Wales Theatre and the 'Varieties (the hatter connexion being altoget her nominal), and, as we have said, the news has caused gimeral regret. Another good feature in his character is that he is as well thought of by his colleagues as by the public, and this feeling has been marked in a very pleasant way. The officials in "front" of the house—to the uninitiated in theatrical parlance we may explain that the "front" means the auditorium — presented Mr. English on Thursday night with a silver cup, richly chased, and bearing the following in scription :—"Presented to Edward English, Esq., on his retirement as acting manager of the New Prince of Wales Theatre, being a small token of esteem from a few members constituting the front of the h use. March 30, 1867." Accompanying the goblet was a letter written by Mr. Huy, the box bookkeeper, couched in the most kind and considerate terms, conveying the best wishes of the donors for Mr. English's future welfare, and deeply re gretting the severance of his connection with them. It is whispered that the professional members of the company, or those " behind," also intend to mark in•a practical way their good-fellowship with Mr. English.—Liverpool Courier. TURF NEWS.

The Oxford and Cambridge Universities single-handed match was brought to a conclusion on Saturday evening, in the match-room at St. James's Hall. There was a largo number of gentlemen present, the betting at the com mencement being 4tol on the " dark blue." Mr. Wick ham represented the Cantabs, and Mr. Rogers played for Oxford. Oxford Jonathan called and marked the game, and shortly after eight play commenced as follows : Mr. Wickham went in and - missed ;. Rogers _played, and with small breaks reached 27 to 15. When Mr. Rogers was 191 £5 to £ll was laid that the Oxonian won by 100. Mr. Wickham now ran together 30, and from 122 reached to 152. The latter now played from 156 to 175, and then by a "scorn" brought his figures to 195, Rogers being 210. They finked a shot, and Mr. Wickham stood at 193. Rogers now played to 269, amid offers of £lO to £lO on Oxford, and then by breaks of 22 and two of 11, the dark blue stood at 325 to 223, the Cantabs being a "century" behind.

At 464 Rogers made three red hazards; and Mr. Wickham by a break of 13 stood at 330, Rogers then made 10, and from 482 to 488. Wickham from 343 made a break of 27, and his Sc _re was called at 370 to 491. Both now missed, Mr. Rogers went in, scored nine, and won the game by 130 points. SPORTS 1N AMERICA. Wilkes' Spirit of the Times answers a correspon dent, who asks, whether Aor B wins a bet under the following circumstances :—A bets that a certain vessel will be launched on the 3d of the month ; B bets that she ,will not. Oa the day named, she starts, but stops 200 feet from the end of the ways, and 50 men and a steam-tug are employed for two weeks to get her into the water. The Spirit answers unhesitatingly, that:A wins, as the intent was clearly as to when the attempt to launch her would be made. Although we have some diffidence in giving an opinion in direct contradiction to that of the sport ing newspaper of America, we certainly hold that the rules of betting in this case would make B the winner. Betting is guided by the dry laws of fact and not intention. Where an actual occurrence, demonstrated by the clearest proof, takes place, the actual fact alone, decides the event. If A. intended to back the opinion that the vessel would be ready to be launched, he ought to have said so. B might have carefully calculated the chances of failure in launching and backed his opinion on the double probability that she would not be ready at the time, or, if ready, would fail in . being launched. If so, B's sagacity and more intimate knowledge, is used against him, because, ihe who decides the bet does not compre hend the calculations on which 13.'s opinion wat. based. In this case, the question hinges on the fact was she Launched on the 3d or not? She was not then launched—therefore B wins.

The revolt in Port-au-Prince on the night of the 22d of February having been quelled (as reported by the last mail) and tracquillity restored, it ap pears that on the following day President Geffrard • resolved to abdicate as soon as the House should • meet, iu April, and with a view to allay all irrit 4 - tion apinst the Government, be changed his Ministry, and proclaimed a general amnesty to all pOLtical prisoners save three —Delorme, .9-41 nave, and Solomon. As s , )on as the Pret,i,lent's amnesty was published and the insurgents set free, they lost no time in carrying the agitation and spirit of dis affection into St. Marc, mail on or almut the Bth of March the people of that district took up arms and made General Nissage prisoner, but he was released on parole that he would head theM on the march Port-an-Prince. When President Geffrard aware that his position was untenable unless by the shedding of blood be made up his mind to abdi cate, as he was averse to any hostile proceedings ; and he immediately called upon the Senate to meet on•the 16th to elect a President. The act of abdi e aloft was unconditional, and was addressed to his Ministers and the principal members of the army. The ex-President embarked on the 13th, with his family, on board the French man-of-war D'Estaing, and left for Jamaica, where he arrived on the 15th, and proceeded to the residence of Mr. S. Laraque, • the Consul for Hayti in that island. As soon as the abdication was announced a Pro visional Government was established, consisting of the Cabinet Ministers and the Senate. The Pr6vi sional Government immediately sent the Haytian *Ramer Alexandre Petion to St. Marc with a depu tation to the revolutionary leaders, in order to arrive at an amicable understanding with the in surgents of St. Marc, and to inform them of the re signation of Geffrard. The llaytian man-of-war Galatea, which left on the 13th for St. Marc, on her arrival with the news that President G-effrard had abdicated was seized, by the revolutionists, disarmed, the crew imprisoned, and the vessel moored under the guns of the fort. It was reported that the cause of the Galatea's crew having been imprisoned was owing to their having refused to serve under the revolutionists, stating that they were engaged to serve and fight under President Geffrard only. On the 15th the insur rectionists made a public attempt to break into the Custom-house and Treasury, but were not success ful. In their endeavours to procure arms and am munition from the arsenal they were more success ful, the magazine having been broken open by them, and a large quantity of weapons and ammunition secured and carried away by the revolutionists. Subsequent accounts report that the election of President to the Senate had taken place. General Nissage Saget wus elected, but he declined to accept the office until the whole of the country had ap proved his election. Nissage is a general of division commanding St. Marc, - and said to be sincere in his deference to the popular wish. It was generally supposed that the people would confirm the choice of the Provisional Council in the election of Presi dent Nissage. Salnave and Delorme had been ap pointed members of the Consultative Council. The department of the South was quiet. Delegations had been sent to the capital from Jacmel, Aux Cayes, &c., to support the action of the Provisional Government. The following proclamation bad been issued by the Provisional Government : "To the People and the Army.—Haytians,—Grave events have just been consummated. General F. Geffrard has left the Presidency and the country ; he has placed his resignation in the hands of the. Senate. The Council of the Secretaries of State holds the reins of Government, as pro vided by the 119th Article of the Constitution, until the chief who ought to preside over the destiny of the country should be constitutionally elected. The country has suf fered for many lung years incessant evils, which have left . as their result the ruin of our cities, of our treasury, atld of our families. Let us work, then, Ilaytiaus, to build up the edifice destroyed by baneful passions, engendered by pride, ambition, and cupidity. It is only by a fusion of hearts, harmony of power, and a firm will, sincere and serious, that we can get rid of the corruption to which our society is a prey. Yes, it is with those elements that we will pro:- gress, and that our country will enjoy that welfare and happiness to which all free people aspire. Be calm; and let us hope from Providence and our efforts to end our misfortune. Let us avoid every conflict and public trouble, and be animated only by the welfare of the country. Lot us have faith in the future and in the institutions which govern us. " Long live Liberty ! "Long live Equality ! "Long live the Republic ! "Long live the Constitution!

Ex-President Geffrard had taken up his quarters at Torrington-house, in the outskirts of Kingston, Jamaica, which had been purchased and prepared some time ago by the liaytian Consul for his re- ception. Her Majesty's ship Cadmus left Jamaica on the 23d of March for Port-au-Prince, to protect the interests of British subjects who were threatened by the revolutionists. The Nimble sailed on the 22cl for San Domingo, St. Jago de Cuba, and Puerto Rico ; and the Steady sailed on the 23d for Bermuda. At a meeting of British, American, and Colonial exhibitors, held at Paris on Wednesday week, it was resolved-1. "That this meeting of British, American, and Colonial exhibitors is of opinion that the service of attendants in their several de partments should not be required on the Lord's Day, and they trust that their fellow exhibitors will unanimously agree in carrying out this resolu tion."—Moved by Mr. 11. Stewart (llancock and Co.), seconded by Dr. Eldridge (America), sup ported by Dr. Honeyman (Nova Scotia). 2. "That this resolution be forwarded to the British and American Executives, with the resp,..setfill re quest that their influence be kindly given in sup port of it."—Moved by Mr. John Neal (jeweller), seconded by Mr. E. IL Carbutt (Vulcan Iron Works). lloi.TDArs.—Many doubtless will feel interested in having their attention drawn to the fact that this year, 1867, there is a remarkable, though not infrrquent, coinci dence between certain Jewish and certain Christian holi days. Good Friday falls on the 11th Nisan, the day when of old the paschal lambs were sl.tin ; Easter day on the 16th Nisan, the day when the first-fruits of the barley harvest were reaped and presented to God; and Whit-Sunday on the 6th Sivan, the day of Pentecost. This was a second first-fruits festival, at the conclusion of the wheat harvest ; and was always on the same day of the week as the 16th Nisan, being the fiftieth day, or seven complete weeks, from it. It held, therefore, the same relation to the in augural harvest that Whit-Sunday holds to Easter day ; and though the first-fruits can no longer be offered, the same may be said of Nisan 16th and the day of Pentecost still.—The Churchman's Shilling Magazine. - _ TELEGRAPHS TO THE EAST.—The Secretary to the Treasury has laid before the House of Commons a Treasury Minute of the 10th of January, to the effect that while the Board would not consider itself justified in offering a subsidy or guarantee to any company for esta blishing lines of telegraphic communication, they would be disposed to encourage companies willing to lay down lines of which the Government approve, by causing sur veys to bo made of the proposed route, and rendering as sistance by her Majosty'd vessels in laying the cables, and also by using the good offices of the Government with foreign Governments upon whose territories it may be re quisite to laud cables.
