The deceased was sitting by the fire, and turned round to look after the children when her ,crinoline caused . h er apron to become ignited, and she was speedily enveloped in flames. Her screams having brought assistance, she was found on the floor making frantic efforts to roll the carpet round her. One of the male inmates pulled off his coat, and with it extinguished the flames. She was conveyed to Charing-cross Hospital, where she gradually sank and expired, CRISIS OF THE REFORM BILL. —There was in the conduct of the multitudes at New Hall, Bir mingham, in the crisis of the reform bill, a manifestation of religious feeling that ought to have deeply affected those who had previously succumbed to similar manifestations. When, at the sound of the bugle from the platform, those heaving masses were hushed to silence, to listen to the voice of Mr. Attwood, their chairman, the procession of the Broornsgrove Union was observed approaching in the distance. Then followed a scene which was perhaps never forgotten by any one who witnessed it. The new comers, as they advanced, were welcomed with the sing ing of " The Union Hymn," then familiar even to chil dren-in every English household. It was now sung by 100,000 voices, with a pealing melody and a thrilling power which all the organs in the land could not equal. Immediately after the singing of this hymn, Mr. Salt addressed the great assemblage thus :—" I call upon you to repeat, with head uncovered, in the face of heaven, and the God of justice and mercy, the following words after me." In a moment every head was uncovered, and every voice uttered slowly over that wide sea of human life Swelling With holy resolution, the words of the following plight unbroken faith, through every peril and pi ivation, we h ero devote ourselves and our children to our country's cause.' , It was against this people, thus consecrating their energies on the altar of freedom and f country, that the military were commanded to rough-whet their swords, in of der, as the workin g c l ssses b e li eve d at t h e t i me, th a t i n smiting the peopl e t hey m i ght "inflict a ragged wound." According to the " Autobiography of a Working Man," this is how the S cots G reys were occupied while they were shut up in the barracks at Birmingham on the Sunday after the New Ilan meeting. And during the whole time that the Duke ef 'Wellington was vainly endeavouring to form a Ministry, the 'troops were kept ready booted and spurred, with the saddles on their horses day and night.—Cassell's Illustrated history of _England. ATTEMPTED MURDER.—An attempted murder has just been made at Villetoureix (Dordogne). A Young woman named Engerbaud, aged 18, was minding sheep, three days back, a few hundred yards from her father's house, when a young soldier named Dupeyrat ap proached her, and, after exchanging a few words, stabbed her several times with a knife. The girl was thrown down, but defended herself as well as she was able, at the same time raising cries of "Murder I" Several persons, and among others the father of the girl hastened to the spot; and the soldier, seeing assistance arriving, continued striking his victim with such fury that at last the blade of the knife was bent. The father on reaching the spot forced Dupeyrat to desist by beating him on the head with a stone. The latter then ran away in the direction of Savignac. The .°ll/1g• woman has about 30 wound s on different parts of her 'body, but hopes are entertained of saving h er ife. 1-)4l 3e yrat was sh or tl y a f ter arres t e d .

Some time yesterday, probably midday, a murder of the most atrocious character was perpetrated in George-street, St. Giles, one of the worst neighbourhoods in the metro polis. It became familiar to the public about 18 months ago, in consequence of an attempt by a cabman to get a young woman, who had been drugged, and who had been his fare, into one of the brothels there, whom he afterwards robbed of her clothes and all the little articles of property she had about her. In consequence of the resistance offered by the person who was in charge of the house the cabman was prevented from carrying out the worst part of his design, and the disturbance occasioned the capture of the fellow, who was afterwards punished for his brutal conduct. The circumstances connected with the murder which took place in the same wretched locality are not at the time we write this morning very fully developed, but it seems that at about 7 o'clock yesterday morning a man and a young woman, whose name was Emma Jackson, whose friends are reported to reside in the neighbourhood of Berwick-street, Soho, went to No. 4, George-street, the door of which was opened by a servant whom their knock- ing had aroused from her sleep. The girl, half asleep, did not take particular notice of the two people, and on the man asking for a bedroom, they were shown up to the back room on the first floor. As there was perfect quietness in the room during the day no suspicion of any kind was aroused, but at about hall-past 5 last evening the servant girl went up stairs, and finding the door unfastened went in. On the bed she found lying the woman she had let in the same morning, he throat frightfully cut, the bed all over saturated with blJod, and the walls spattered with gore in all directions. She immediately ran down and gave an alarm to the police, and a medical man was instantly sent for. On examination he found, in addition to the frightful wound in the throat, which had nearly severed the head from the body, a wound in the front of the throat which bad severed the windpipe, and was sufficient to cause death, another on the side of the neck which had severed the carotid artery, and on the back of the neck two other large stabs running obliquely towards each other. All these had been inflicted with great force, and it is very certain the girl had struggled desperately for her life. No noise, however, was heard, a circumstance which is all the more singular on account of their being little coach traffic in the street. Moreover, the landlord, whose practice it is to sit up all night, was sleeping all day in the back parlour immediately under the room in which the murder took place. The man escaped, but by what means, or when, nobody knows, but when the body of the murdered woman was discovered life had become extinct, in, the opinion of the surgeon, for six or seven hours at least. No instrument has been found in the room, the man prior to his departure collecting everything belonging to him so as to destroy all BRITISH POSSESSIONS. Closing Shan Railways Paid. Price.

The woman appears to be about 28 or 30 years of age, and bad on when she same to George -street a dark bonnet and mantle and a sort of green striped dress. Of the man, as before stated, nothing whatever is known although the police authorities say they have a clue which they hope may turn out successful. The body of the girl has been identified, and information has been forwarded to Mr. Bedford, the coroner, who will hold an inquest on the body of the murdered woman, pro- bably this evening or to-morrow. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The deceased girl, Emma Jackson, resided with her father and mother, in a little house immediately behind, and connected with, 10, Berwick-street, Soho, a butcher's shop, in the possession of Mr. Andrew Osborn. She is de- scribed by those who knew her in the neighbourhood as a quiet, peaceable girl, but as being occasionally given to ex cesses, She would remain at home for weeks, working hard, and conducting herself respectably, but at times she would, to use the language of her friends, "break out and go with anybody," and absent herself from home for days together. She was a shirtmaker, and in the pursuit of that business earned a decent livelihood. After one of herperiodical fits of irregularity she returned to her home about three weeks ago, and again proceeded with her ordinary calling until Tuesday last, when she again absented herself from her parents' home never to re turn. On the spot we have this morning the following par -107 ticulars About one o'clock this morning, long after Mr. Osborn had retired to rest, he was aroused by a violent knocking and ringing at his door. He was alarmed, and dressed him self as quietly as possible, when, on proceeding to the door, ho found two girls standing outside, who communicated to him some of the particulars of the murder of his lodger. They told him that she had been murdered by having her throat cut, and requested him to accompany them to George-street, where the murder had been com mitted. He did not adopt that course, but went and com municated to Emma Jackson's parents the terrible informa tion he had received. The father and brother were called and du'y proceeded with the police, who had by this time arrived, to George-street, when the former identified the body as that of their unfortunate daughter, who was 29. The girls who had thus communicated the intelligence said they were intimately acquainted with deceased, and one of them said she had seen Emma Jackson early yester day morning in company of a foreigner who was having his boots cleaned at the corner of Greek-street and Compton. street, and that he had the appearance of one of the many foreign bakers who live about the neighbourhood. It appears that there was a murder at the same house, No. 4, George•street, about 10 years ago, the perpetrator of which was a man named Connor, and who was convicted and executed.

(Before tho Recorder.) THE MUTINY AT BLACKWALL. Manuel Oliva, a Peruvian, and corporal of Marines on board the Peruvian ship of war Arica, lying off Blackwall, was indicted for the manslaughter of one Callegias, one of the sailors belonging to the same ship, in the mutiny which took place on board the hulk in which the sailors and ma rines were quartered on the night of the 19th of March last. The jury, after a brief consideration, returned a verdict of " Not Guilty." The prisoner for some time was in a state of perplexity as to the nature of the result, and was about to leave the dock in custody of the officer, but on being called back, and the verdict explained to him through an interpreter, be bright ened up with delight. It is understood that the prisoner has been advised by his counsel not to go on board ship again, and to resist any attempt to capture him and take him on board. A picket of soldiers, with the Peruvian Consul, are, however, in attendance to secure him when he comes out of prison, but the sheriffs, with the view of frustrating them, as the unfortunate man would, it is said, be shot if he again got into the power of the Peruvian authorities, intend to keep him, and let him out privately, thereby giving him a chance of escape. Very little betting. The evidence was interpreted by an interpreter, and partly by the Peruvian Consul. EMBEZZLEMENT. Joseph Frederick Mason, a traveller to the firm of Jeffries and Co., agents for Messrs. Basset, of Sheffield, wholesale confectioners, was indicted and found guilty of embezzling several sums of money, amounting to upwards of £4O, re ceived by him on account of his e mployers.—Sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment with hard labour.

BREAKING WORKROUSE WINDOWS.—Three woman named Jane Gregory, Emma Cole, and Elizabeth Bradley, were charged before Mr. Knox with demolishing nine panes of glass, the value of 95., in. the windows of St. Martin's workhouse. Randall, the porter of the workhouse, proved hearing at 10 last night a smash of glass, and on going out saw the prisoners throw some stones at the windows and break them. Mr. Knox asked the porter whether ,the prisoners had applied to be admitted ? Randall said they had, but he could notadmit them. Mr. Knox asked how many 1 • he had admitted ? _ _ _ Randall said about 20, and that the prisoners used very bad language, and had broken windows 'at the workhouse before. The prisoners, who had nothing to say; were ordered to pay 10s. each, or 14 days. THAMES. The new magistrate, Mr. William Partridge, late stipen diary magistrate at Wolverhampton, who has been ap pointed to succeed Mr. Selfe, presided for the first time this day, and proceeded to the despatch of business with great alacrity. The new magistrate will find plenty to do at this court. The district assigned to it contains a population of 350,000 persona. MARKETS --This Day. MARK-LANE. The supply of English wheat on sale here, to-day, was very moderate. The trade, however, both as regards red and white produce, ruled heavy, but no change took place in prices compared with Monday. The show of foreign wheat was moderately extensive, and all descriptions moved off slowly, on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a limited ex tent, at late rates. The supply of English barley was small—of foreign, moderate. 'I here was no activity in the demand for any kind, yet prices ruled stationary. The malt trade was in a sluggish state, at late rates. The supply of oats was only moderate. All good and fine parcels moved off steadily, at full prices. Otherwise, the trade was dull. Beans and peas—the supplies of which were small— commanded very little attention at previous currencies. Barrel flour moved off slowly, on former terms. Other kinds ruled inactive, at late quotations. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The severe race run yester day by Buckstone disposed many to think that the last year's Doncaster running would be reversed, and that Zet land would have an easy victery ; but, on the contrary, Mr. Merry's horse won quite as easily as he was defeated by Stradella. The tmpt omptu match made overnight be• tween Bandage and Bay of Tunis caused also some little excitement, as it was supposed that " Mr. Newland," though a little out of practice, was quite good enough in the saddle to avoid neutralising the superiority which the public form of Bandage was calculated to give. As it turned out, however, Mr. Rowland slipped him at the start fully 10 lengths, and never gave him the slightest chance. With these two exceptions, it is quite needless to refer in any way to the day's proceedings, which were witnessed by a very small number of spectators.

As one of the servants employed by a Mr. Lewis, contractor, was pumping water from the well on his master's premises he noticed oil on the surface of the weer. Oil and water continued flowing for some time, and about four gallons of oil were ultimE tely obtained. Excavations in the vicinity of the well show the soil to be of that boggy nature which is usual where oils are found. It has been determined to have the spring fully explored and the quality of the oil satisfac torily tested by chemical analysis. The oil obtained is rather thick, and it ignited readily and burnt brightly. The discovery has excited much interest, and a great many per sons have visited the well, LUDGATE STATION AND JUNCTION. The proposed stations of this company are to be On the site lying between Earl-street, Blackfriars, and Skinner-street, with all such buildings, ap proaches, sidings, workshops, factories, engines, and machinery as the company think requisite. In con nexion with the station there are to be threejunction railways, the first commencing by a junction with the authorised railway of the London, Chatham, and Dover Company on the south side of Earl street, Blackfriars, and terminating by a junc tion with the Metropolitan Railway, either at or near its terminus, or the junction of Victoria street and West-street. The second junction is to run out of the first at or near the junction of Skinner-street and Snow-hill, opposite the end of Seacoal-lone, and terminate near the point where King-street and West-street terminate in West Smithfi.lld. The third junction railway to commence from the intended first junction near the corner of Ludgate-hill and Farringdon-street, and terminate at or near Brazier's-buildings, and on the east side of Farringdon-street. The com pany's bill also seeks power to permanently atop up all streets, courts, alleys, and passages within the station area, excepting Ludgate-hill, and use and appropriate the same, and the site and soil thereof, without causing any other thoroughfares to be made in lieu of them. The estimated capital re quired for these works is £1,000,000 in shares, and £333,300 on loan. The return of the number of houses required to be taken, as made to the House of Lords, for these works is 130—in Fleet-street, Seacoal-lane, New-court, Bear-alley, Brazier's-build ings, Newcastle-street, Turnagain-lane, Green Dra gon-court, and Fox and Knot-court—displacing 700 persons, for whoao removal no provision is pro posed to be made in the bill. ABERYSTWITH AND WELS7.I COAST. A Wharncliffe meetiog of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Bridge-street, West minster, Mr. Hilditch in the chair. Mr. W. Roberts, the scretary, read the notice convening the meeting. The Solicitor submitted a:bill for authorising the company to make and maintain further lines of rail way and other works, and to make arrangements with other companies, and to raise further moneys. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, a formal reso lution approving the bill was adopted, subject to Such modifications as Parli amen t m i g h t make or permit and the directors approve. The meetin g was then adjourned to that day fortnight for the consideration of two other bills.

EXPECTED RIOT AT BEOADBOTTOBL.—Yesterday afternoon a telegram was received in Manchester from Mr. Adamson, visitor of the Central Executive Com mittee of the Relief Fund to the various lochl committees, stating that the unemployed operatives had congregated in large numbers in the streets of Broadbottom, near Mot tram, Chet hire, and that fears of a riot were entertained. The cause of the tumult is understood to be a proposed re duction in the scale of relief, and an objection of being em ployed on out-door works. The present rate of relief there is 2s. 4d. per head, which is above the average. Out of a total of 2,185 operatives in Broadbottom and Charlesworth, 1,913 are entirely out of work.

A general meeting of the Jockey Club was held at New market, after the races, on Wednesday—present, Lord Ports mouth and Admiral Rous (stewards), Mr. Alexander, Mr. Barne, Count Batthyany, Mr. W. G. Craven, Mr. Greville, Sir J. Hawley, Mr. R. H. Neville, Mr. Payne, Mr. Saville, Lord Stamford, Lord Strathmore, Lord Westmoreland, and Lord Winchilsea. His Royal Highness the Prince of Orungo was unan mously elected a member of the club without a ballot. The accounts for the year ending Dec. 31, 1862, having been presented and passed, C. Alexander, Esq., was ap pointed a steward in the place of the Earl of Portsmouth, who retired by rotation. Lord Portsmouth was appointed a member of the Ben tinck Fund Committee, in the place of Mr. Payne, who re tired by rotation. The committee now consists of Lord Coventry, the Hon. Admiral Rous, and Mr. Alexander (Stewards of the Jockey Club), the Duke of Richmond, Lord Chesterfield, the Duke of Beaufort, and Lord Ports mouth. The proposal to alter the amount of the annual subscrip• tion of members of the Jockey Club was not brought for. ward. Admiral Rous having brought forward his motion for the alteration of Rule 42, which was seconded by Lord PORTSMOUTH, Sir J. HAWLEY proposed to add some clauses ; these were agreed to by Admiral Rous, and after some discussion it was resolved that the rule should stand thus : " 42. The starter has authority to order the jockeys to draw up in a line as far behind the starting post as he may think necessary, and any jockey disobeying the orders of the starter, or taking any unfair advantage, shall be punished by fine or suspension, according to the nature and degree of his offence, at the discretion of the stewards. No jockey can be suspended unless the case has been heard by the three stewards, and in the absence of any of the stewards a member or members of the Jockey Club shall be deputed to act for the steward or stewards absent. The punishment inflicted shall not be declared till after the last race of the day. A sentence duly passed upon a jockey cannot be re mitted by the stewards without the authority of a general meeting of the Jockey Club. The starter is prohibited from making a running start—the horses must walk up,and be started from a walk ; and if the starter from negligence or inattention allows a start to take place on the wrong side of the starting post, he shall be fined a sum of money not exceeding £5O, and the start shall be declared null and void."

Yesterday a deputation of coach proprieters in town and country had an interview with the Chancellor of the Ex chequer at his office in Downing-street, for the purpose of urging upon the right hon. gentleman the propriety of tak ing into consideration the subject of the mileage duties with a view to their being abolished, and the levying a tax or license duty upon stage coaches or omnibuses, so as to put such carriages on an equality, as regards taxation with rail•. ways, tramways, and other modes of land transit. The members of the deputation were—Messrs. E. Folwell, Bris tol ; W. Brown, Preston ; J. L. Thornton, Lincoln ; R. Eyres, Blandford ; J. Costelow, Richmond ; R. R. Hughes, Bayswater ; Making, Kew ; Law, Church, Armami, Laver, Martelli, Crews, London ; and Mr. J. E. Bradfield, agent ; and they were introduced by Mr, Bramley Moore, M.P., who said that other members of Parliament would have been present but for the circumstance of the recess. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had re ceived and carefully considered the memorial which had been forwarded to him on the subject. It put the case clearly enough, and what he now wished to have were practical facts bearing on the general statement, Mr, BRADFIELD said that the short point of the memorial was that the proprietors of stage coaches and omnibuses were charged with a mileage duty of ld, per mile both ways, whether they carried passengers or none, whether they earned money or not. On a former occasion the Chancellor of the Exchequer admitted that there was something objec tionable in the mileage duty. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Can you suggest a better basis on which the duty may be fixed ? Mr. BRADFIELD said they had slightly modified the pro posal in the memorial. If there was competition it ought to be equal, but under the act of 1842, which was intended to place them on an equality with railways, the railway companies paid a tax of about three per cent., whilst the coach proprietors in the country paid about 11 per cent., and in London 10 per cent. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The memorial says nine per cent. Mr. BRADFIELD—Mr. Hughes, a proprietor of 11 omni buses, received in 1861 £10,274, on which he paid £l,lOO in licence and mileage duty, and in 1862 he received £12,490, on which the duty paid was £1,227. The C HANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he thought there was a fallacy in comparing the figures of railway companies with those of coach proprietors, because the rail way companies mada the roads with their own capital. Mr. BRADFIELD referred to the case of steamboats, which were not taxed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had no objection to having steamboats taxed. He was no friend to exemp tions. He had been six years Chancellor of the Exchequer, and he never proposed an exemption to the House of Com mons.

Mr. BRADFIELD said the loss to the revenue was calcu lated at about £60,000, supposing that there was no increase, but in Preston and other places they were only waiting for the decision of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to determine whether they would give increased coaching accommodation, so that ultimately there would be little or no loss at all. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did not deny there was force in some of the objections urged, but the difficulty was to fix a better basis. The plan proposed by the deputation should have his best consideration. a The right hon. gentleman further stated, in reply to Mr. Er. 1 ley Moore, that the question of occasional licencen sho uld not be forgotten in the legislation of the year. The deputation, having thanked the right hon. gentleman for his courtesy, then withdrew. THE FRENCH ELECTIONS. The approach of the general elections has origi nated the rumour that a coalition kill probably be formed among the old parties for the purpose of mutually aiding each other in endeavouring to secure the success of their candidates. It may be remarked that a similar report has almost always got into circulation on preceding occasions, but 1 without b e i ng ever ri a li sed. The Paris journals, however, have taken np the question, and discuss with laudable gravity the legality of sueb arrange ments. Amongst the rest, the Temps lately pub lished on coalitions in general, and on electoral coalitions in particular, an article which is chiefly remarkable for containing a great numberof truisms, and ends by citing three examples worthy of enlo gium—the committees on the affair of the poor woman Doize who was unjustly condemned, on the subscription for the distressed cotton operatives, and on that for the relief of Poland. The Siecle now declares that the idea which it has formed of a political coalition differs in Lobo from the views of its proceeds to explain its mean ing eonte in mp th e e r s a e ry t , d er a m u s: il "If that (the committees spoken of above) is what is understood by the word coalition in politics, the affirmation may be truly made that men pass their lives in forming coalitions; thus, whether we are democrats, or royalists, or partisans of the tem • poral power, we all coalesce when we form part of the same bureau de bienfaisance, of the same com mittee instituted to patronise a lottery, a ball, or charitable subscription. Men of all opinions who found themselves by chance assembled in a salon to hear a reading would have coalesced to applaud a poem or a tragedy. The master of a house who regularly assembles a certain number of persons belonging to different shades of politics, therefore invites them once a week to coalesce for dinner. No, neither the Doize Committee, nor the Polish one, nor the Cotton one, is a coalition in the ordinary acceptation of the word ; men the most opposed to each other in political sentiments, meet together, thank God, every day on the ground of philanthropy and charity, without any one feeling astonishment at it and seeking to oppose it ; why therefore that singular indignation of the Temps :—" And the idea is, forsooth, to wrest from the most generous aspirations that can animate a people, from the justest sentiment, and from liberty, that noble and characteristic privilege of calling together men of intelligence from all corners of the horizon I' But whoever thought of wresting all that from you ? What made you talk to U 9 of petty churches and formularies apropos to the Polish Committee and to the subscription for the cotton weavers ? Who therefore wishes to prevent all citizens from descending into the constitutional arena in the name of any principle they may please to choose What journal has demanded that any particular party should be deprived of the right of voting ? Let us pass over the words ' formulary' and petty church,' which have no great significae tion : the world is full of petty churches, and the 7 emps itself is one, for which we do not reproach it. When it discusses a particular poet, philosopher, or historian, and condemns his doctrine, does not the Tenzps indirectly recommend its readers not to peruse the work ? Does it not create fornaulariea in poetry, in philosophy, in histor3 ? If what is permitted in literature is interdicted in politics; if, in the name of liberty, a man is prohibited to say to his friends—those are the principles which we ap prove and those which we reject—what, therefore, is liberty P " THE WARD JACKSON. The Snallpost, a Swedish — jomaal published at Malmo, contains in its number of the 2d inst, the following details -expecting the English steamer Ward Jackson, which, with a cargo of arms, ammunition, and 190 vohnteers, has been detained at Alaimo : The English vessel with the Polish expedition is still lying here. The ship, which is named the Ward Jackson, belongs to the Hartlepool Steam Navigation Company, and was chartered from that Company for the Polish expedition. The Commander is Colonel Lapinski, who has fought against Russia in Hungary and the Caucasus. The corps is composed of about 190 persons, of whom three-fourths are Poles, the others being French, Italian, and Hungarian volunteers. It includes 26 officers and engineers, and has a cargo of arms and ammunition. According to a state ment in the Kolnische Zeilunq, the expenses of the vessel and expedition were defrayed by an association in London, under the patronage of the Duchess of Sutherland, and other ladies of the highest English aristocracy. This is not the case; for the expedition is fitted out by the Polish National Government, which pays all the expenses, and has no connection with that Ladies' Committee. The cause of the expedition's arrival at Mafma is that, as the ice has broken up in the Gulf of Revel, Russian cruisers have already come out into the Baltic and Sound. One is already at Copenhagen, and another is said to be off Ystad. But, nevertheless, the expedition would have proceeded farther if the suspicious occurrence had not happened that Capt. R. Weatherby delayed his voyago at Elsinore, lay there three days without even taking in water, and after wards proceeded to Copenhagen, where he and the English crew abandoned the ship. Consequently, the expedition, in order not to fall into the hands of a Russian corvette, which was expected there, and which has now arrived at Copene hagen, had to obtain a Danish crew to bring the ship over to Sweden, where the Poles knew that they had an asylum as in England or France. Since the authorities have reported the event, the Go vernment has ordered by telegraph that the ship shall be placed under sequestration, and that the passengers shall be allowed to go where they choose. The statement that Col. Lapinski has proceeded to Stockholm is unfounded. He has not left the place since he came here; but a Commissioner of the Polish National Government has left, accompanied by Bakunin, the celebrated Russian fugitive from Siberia, who assists Herzen in editing the well. known periodical the Xolokol, and whom the Inclependance Beige reports to have been summoned to Russia by a Russian Central Com mittee. In its "postscript" the Snallpost adds: At three o'clock in the aftehloon the alarming report spread through the town that a fire had broken out on board the steamer which brought the Polish e xpedition, and which had on board a considerable quantity of gun powder. The smoke which rose from the forecastle showed the truth of tho report. The authorities haitily proceeded to the spot, and great crowds assembled. The fire was extinguished by the Poles alone with admirable quickness, and at 6 o'clock all was over. pre sented to the English Consul at Malmo : b t which we do reasons which we may guess, u . ert Sir,—For moment, Captain IteD long not intend stating at the presen t The following is a copy of a protest which has been the West Hartlepool Steam - f the contract agreed ing to ' tinct conditions o . sl Government of broke the plain and dm Provisional the delegate of the 1.- hich conditions bound ) upon between nw „ y , w Weatherby, of the English steamer W N a a r y cl ig J a a ti cokenec%mbepany, Poland and the said co grant unwillingness, he Ever since our arrival at Hel ntract.
