A NEGRO NNWBPAP RR. —The freedmen of Chaileston
are making preparations for establishing a newspaper
in jointelitock proprietorship. Before I left the tiouth
many thousand dollars of the stock had been taken by
the blacks, and there was a fair proapect that the
project would be successful. —New York World.

FIVE Morn's' ACCTDIENTS IA AMERICA.—Three thou•
sand one hundred and eighty-one persons lost their lives
and nine hundred and thirty-five other persons suffered
bodily injuries, by accidents upon American railroads
or steamboats, or by explosions of powder magazines or
the fall of buildings, in America, during the period
between the close of the war for the Union and the
31st sit —just five months.

THZ great ire in Constantinople had almost burnt
itself oat on the Bth inst., but fully two miles of ruin
and devastation atteeted its ravages. It is fortunate
and really surprising that no loss of life should have
moommanied it, At the fire of St, Benoit some months
ago, 200 souls perished at one fell swoop by the fall of a
single wall. The money-value of the property destroyed
must be something very oonsiderahle as on a moderate
computation fully 5,000 houses have been consumed.
Vast numbers of poor people have been reduced to ruin
by this calamity ; and it is a pitiable sight to see them
—men, women and children, sad and patient—camped
out in the gardens of the Seraglio, in the streets and in
mosqueyards, with the wreck of the few moveables they
have been able to save gathered about them. The
Government is distributing bread nn 3 clothing for their
immediate relief and private subscriptions are being
opened to supplement the efforts of the authorities.

NEGRO DINIIIRBANGEB IN A NERIOIL.—The City of
Wa.lbington has arrived with intelligence from New
York to the 9111 inst. Ag negro disturbanoes are mid to
be apprehended in districts where there are no agents
of the Freednien'e Bureau, General Howard has recom-
mended the formation of A police patrol system.

THE ABTBBI7rIAN CAPTIVIS.—Oar letters from Egypt
state that on the 9th Met. Mr. Fa!grave was within
two days of starting up the Nile when Mr. Raasam's
sudden arrival at Cairo arrested his departure. Roth
wore await ink further bastructioas from the Foreign
°Moe when our despatch left. It appears that King
Theodortts has invited Mr. Rassam to Gondar, indicating
that he should travel via Kasalah and Mataminah, but
without assigning any special reason for the direction.
That route, however, will not be passable for a month
or more, owing to the inundation of the Kher-et-Gash
and its tributaries, and the consequent malaria of the
surrounding districts. Should the minion he left in the
bands of Mr. Rassam, he will probably return to
Massowah, and proceed into the interior, either from
that places or from Suakin. From all we hear, Theodortis
has a long string of grievances to urge, and does not
manifest any strong desire for reconciliation. —Pall Mall
Gazette.

LIBERTY OP CONSCIENCE IN BELGIUM. —M. Rogeard
foe author of the Propos de Labienne, whose sharp,
bitter criticism on the French Emperor's Life of Caesar
made it necessary for his safety that he should flee from
France, and who took refuge in Belgium, has now been
obliged to quit that asylum also. A recent attack by
him on the Emperor in a attire called Paurre France,
made the Belgian Ministry consider it prudent to
request him to leave the country. Instead of quietly
doing so, M. lingeard however emitted a declaration'
staling that he had defended liberty of conscience in
France and in Belgium, and would continue to do so,
that he resisted arbitrary proceedings and should protest
, and not leave until he was arrested. In consequence of
which the Ministry put their order of expulsion in force
and on Sunday morning K. Rogesrd was conducted
by the police to the railway station, and sent on to
Germany. The Ministerial decree, meanwhile, had
caused great excitement in Belgium, where it was
regarded as an invivion of the civil liberty of the people;
and a numerous meeting had been held in Brussels on
Saturday evening, protesting against it, and voting an
address of sympatuy to M. Bogeard.
