LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

FRANCE.
•
The second edition of the Morning Post says :
According to despatches which have reached Paris,
Austrian influence prevails at Constantinople. It is that
Power which recommended the Porte to send a large force
to Herzegovina. M. Thouvenel and the British repre-
sentative appear to have received similar instructions from
their respective Governments. They urge the Porte to
avoid farther hostilities and submit to mediation. This
the Turkish Government has agreed to. " But," says a
despatch 1 have seen to-day, " I do not wish to conceal
from that great excitement prevails st Constantinople
about the Montenegro affairs, and when a large Turkish
force is concentrated on the frontiers, considerable danger
will arise, &c., titc." The Austrian journals continue to
use very offensive language towards France when speaking
of late events in Montenegro. Unleasspeedily settled vory
serious complications may grow out of Prince Datilis
victory over the Turks.

The Austrian Correspondence says :

Private letters received from Ragusa state that the two.
French line•ofbattle ships left the port of Graves& on the
29th ult., and steered to the southward.

The well known M. Proudhon on Thersday appeared
before the tribunal of correctional police to answer
the charge of having, in fiis recently-published work
in three volumes, "De la Justice dans la Revolution
et dans l'Eglise," "outraged public morality, religion,
and familly ties, defended acts qualified as crimes or
offences by the law, jendeavoured to disturb public
peace by exciting citizens to hatred of each other,
and lastly for having, with bad faith, published false
news." The tribunal, after hearing the public prose-
cutor in support of the accusation, and M. Chaudey
as counsel for the defendant, declared the charges
proved, and condemned Proudhon to three years'
imprisonment and -I,ooofr. tine.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN BELGIUM.
An accident, attended with great loss of life, has
occurred on the railway between Mona and Manage.
The Journal de Mons, of the 2nd inst., gives the 101•
lowing account of the accident :

Two coke waggons were detached from a goods train at
the Louviere station. When the goods train moved on
they began to move backwards down a decline. One of
the officials in vain endeavoured to put on the break. Them
is a curve in the line at this point, and an excursion train
from Mons coming up did not perceive the obstacle on the
line till within 200 yards. The man on the coke waggon
jumped off, and a fearful collision took place immediately
afterwards. The first two carriages were smashed to atoms,
and the third much damaged. Seven persons were killed
on the spot, and a great number wounded.

The Journal de Charleroi says:—
The number of killed by the recent railway accident
now amounts to twentyone, including the seven who were
killed on the spot, The number of wounded is tidy-two.
The wounded are in the hospitals of Mons and Manage.
The wounds of some were dressed at the scene of the
accident. Two medical wen in the train rendered all the
service in their power.
The greatest consternation has been caused by this
terrible accident.
