RUSSIA AND THE WARSAW
00,NVERENCES,
The Jictilij W:efds,
.Sd.ysi it, is very generally
believed that the failure of the Warsaw CO-
ference mainly arose from the prominence given
by the Czar in the imperial, and royal delibera-
tions to a revision of the treaty of Paris, that
being the main object, at present, of the policy of
Russia. To the revision of the treaty deemed
.necessary by Russia, in satisfaction of its anzor

According to the Paris correspondent of the Times, the
French Minister for Foreign Affairs, at a recent Cabinet

A MINER'S FESTIVAL.

HORRIBLE BRUTALITY.

TREMENDOUS PiGfifT.

DEATH OF ONE OF THE COMBATANTS.

(FROM A. CORRESPONDENT.)

CHILSWORTHY, NEAR. CALSTOCK,
CorniviALL, October 27..
This evening a miner's testi/idl was held here. There
was a band in attendance, two bonfire were lighted,
and several effigies burned. In the early part of the
evening two men (one married, the other single) began
to fight about a woman connected with some mine in
the neighbourhood. After a desperate battle of one
hour and forty minutes the married man came off the
Victor, but the other poor fellow was a corpse. You
may imagine the consternation that ensued. Those
present whd had taken the victim's part were dread-
fully cut and beaten, but many affirm that it was not
the man with whom he knight who gave him his death-
blow, but another fiend, who, aftet b'e was dawn, came
forward and kicked him on the head.

THE PIRATE ALBERT W. HICKS..

SUCCESSFUL RESUSCITATION.

ELECTRO-Cl/EMICAL EXPERIMENTS.

EXTRAORDINAIIi 11EVELATIONS.

ihere is no* no use in concealing these that Albert
W. Hicks, whd was ostensibly executed for piracy, on
Bedloe's island, on MO 12111 of laSt July, is still living,
though in a dangerous state; Vat likely to recover the
full use of his faculties end limb. the sight of his
left eye is gone, and his left leg continues paralysed ; but,
apart from these injuries, he would appear to have
suffered nothing, and his residence at his sister's house in
Poughkeepsie has proved every way beneficial. It will
be remembered that much comment was toscited by the
utterly fearless manner in which Hicks conducted him-
self previous to his execution. He laughed at the idea
of the gallows, and was only anxious, as he repeatedly
said, td Have "things conducted according to agree-
ment!! In this agreement it is now believed that a
prominent federal officer had a part, and it is on record,
in the daily papers, that he was present at the execution,
wearing his deputy marshal's badge, although no longer
in the marshal's force. It was also remarked at the
time that Hicks was only pulled up a distance of two
and a half feet—utterly insufficient to break his neck—
and that he was only allowed to remain thirteen
minutes hanging. He was then cut down, and pro-
nouinced dead, after which his body was immediately
handed over to the care of Drs. J. T. Bell and Henry
D. O'Reilly, of Brooklyn. These gentlemen are respon-
sible for his resurrection, and the electro-chemical bath,
invented by Professor Vergues, Was the immediate in-
strument, The body of the pirate was wrapped in
warm blankets, and removed at once to the house of
Dr. O'Reilly, in Brooklyn, where Drs. O'Reilly and
Melleryoof this city, were in attendance. The pulse
was found to be wholly quiet, but after Various experi-,
ments the medical men came to the conclusion that
•it was only a case of suspended animation. The
body was therefore at once placed in the electro-
chemical bath, and while subjected to the charges of
the _battery, and the action of the acids, Dr. Crane,
commenced a series of experiments for the inflation
of the lungs. In the course of about two hours these
were partially successful, the pirate beginning to give
faint indications of respiration ; and these cheering
signs animated the medical men in attendance to re-
doubled exertions. A cautery was applied to the right
foot, and received answer in an immediate contraction
of the leg; the same experiment was repeated under
the right ear, taking care not to injure the jugular vein,
and the head at once commenced to roll in a manner
indicating acute feeling. Very slowly, but steadily,
Albert W. Hicks regained conscioueness, though for
several days unable to speak, his throat being too
severely injured. It was then found that the left eye—
the side on which the noose had been—had lost all
power of sight, and that his left arm and left leg were
utterly paralysed. In this condition he was conveyed to
Poughkeepsie, where his sister, Mrs. Gavan, lives ; and
under her roof he is now sheltered, though the friends
of the family do not desire to give too much publicity to
the fact.—American paper.
