Russian Moore cantooed in the provinces bordering on the
Volga are said to have formed a plot in conjunction with a
secret society of Rumours called " The intention
attributed to them is to burn all the villages and towns of

ties have saved Kahan and Samara, but the town of
Simbirak and all the villages around have fallen a prey to
the flames. The conspirators had placed barrels of gun.
powder under the cathedral and all the public edifices of
the town. Regiments of Cossacks have been sent into the
tows. ♦ commission of inquiry, presided over by an
aide-digeemp of the Emperor of Russia, has also been
opened. The burning of the town had, however, reduced
30,000 inhabitaste to misery, and deprived them of shelter.

the ineendiariams are ►hove all doe to the peasants, who
are employing this means of avenging themselves

ROME.

The Paris Monde publishes an account of a con-
flict which occurred at Rome on Dec. 26 between a
patrol of French soldiers and some Papal dragoons.
According to the ifohde, the French soldiers were
in the wrong ; three of the Pope's troops were
killed and seven wounded.

The number of English visitors in Rome just
now is so great that the protestant chapel outside
the Porta del Popolo does not suffice for their ac-
commodation on Sundays. Application has there-
fore been made to Mr. Severn by a deputation of
clergymen for the use of a room in his consular
residence, as a supplementary chapel for the use of
the surplus congregation, amounting prcbabl) for
two or three mouths to about 300 persons. But
the proposition will apparently find a degree of
opposition at the very outset, which will discourage
its continuation, for Cardinal Autouelli gave a de-
cided negative to the consul when he applied to his
eminence for his approbation.

The semi-official Corresponds/a of to-

without interruption between Prussia and Austria.
The treaty of peace has already been submitted to
all parties concerned, and it is believed that the
respective representatives have received definite
powers from their governments to accede to the
final settlement of the treaty. The conclusion of

Mr. Maude asked why she refused to give up the corpse!
Mr. Abram could Dot connive her reason, and she would

wanted his worship to do was to compel the woman to give
up the corpse to the nafortunate widow.
Mr. Mande told him he had no power to mist him.
Mr. Abrams thought his worship might have sent one of

Mr. Mande could do nothing of the kind. He bad no

We yesterday gave a short account of a murder
end burglary committed at Whitecroft, near Lydney, Dean
Forest, on Monday sight. From inquiries made to day upon

not dead, as stated by us, although on Tuesday night,
before writing, we were informed that soak was
the awe. The facts we have collected are as follows :
That Mrs. Wood was awoke about midnight by heating
PPM one is the lower part of the house. She at onos
aroused her husband and told him her snipe:does. He got
up, went downstairs, and there saw three men is the
hones with birth masth or crape over their fame, each
having a pistol M his hand. Mr. Wood at once went up
to them, but whether he took bold of two (ose in
each band) lint, or whether two of them took hold
of him, is not very clear, but the third man
levelled his pistol and fired, tbe ball entering the side of
Mr. Wood's body below the ribs, sad aeceoding into the
chart Mr. Wood at once fell, and the servant girl who
thud the conflict, ran to a oeighbonriog house fur assist-
ance. When leaving the premises she observed two other

made, and surgical waistlines' ai soon as pooible obtained.
It was found upon examination that the charge. from the

faint hopes are held of Mr. Wood's recovery, the medical
man being of opinion that internal injuries .41 cause death

THE WRECK OF THE ONTARIO &maxim:R.—Yes-
terday the Bard of Trails received the sworn deposition of
Captain Brooking, lath commanding the Ontario, new
steamship, which was lost on her first sortie on the
Hasiiro' Sand. The deposition wee taken by the receiver of
wreck at Yarmouth, and is as follows • I was master of
the Ontario screw steamship. She was quite a new ship,
built of iron, 2,800 tons register, belonging to the National
Steam Navigation Company (Limited) at Liverpool, and
was classed in Lloyd". List as A 1 for 12 years. She was
barque-rigged; her crew numbered 85 hands. We sailed
from Shields ate p.m. on the 15th inst., with 1,980 tons of
coal and iron, bound for Alexandria, in Egypt. At the time
of sailing the weather was thick, with • wind blowing •
moderate breeze from the west She was in good ardor, and
fully equipped with stores and materials for the voyage.
Up ti Sunday morning, the 16th, we experteated
foggy weather. She was then in charge of • duly-qoaltitEa
pilot. About 9.15 a.m. of the 16th, the weather still
thick, with wind at W.N.W., blowing =deride,
the steamer proceeding at • rate of ten miles an
hour, suddenly struck the ground. The pilot was
on deck. I was below. About • quarter of an
boar afterwards the weather began to clear up, when
I discovered by seeing the light-ships that we had got on the
Hasbro' Nndl. 1 immediately took cram beeriap of
Hasbro lighthouses and light-ship, and found the patent
steering compass incorrect three-quarters of a point, throw.
lag through such incorrectness the vessel to the southward.
The crew sod firemen were directly put to lighten the ship
byithrowiug cargo overboard. There was too much sea
oa at the time to run out an anchor. 1 directly wiped
two boats' crews and a steam-tag from the port of 1 ar•
mouth, to resider assistance in getting the vessel off and to
rot out an anchor, but found their services unavailing. I
then proceeded to Yarmouth and engaged more steamers
and labourers to assist in throwing the cargo overboard, but
after trying from the 17th to the 21st found all services
completely unavailing. About 5 o'clock on the wooing of
is mishap the lead was hove and ten fathoms sounded. At
the moment of her striking a good look-out wee being kept,
tits thief officer having charge of the watch. I estimate the
loss of the steamer at 100,0004, and the cargo 10,0001.
There was no life lost by the veneers strandhig."

VISIT OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON TO
THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.
PARIS, Ocr. 27.

The MoAikur this morning announces that the
Emperor set out yesterday at noon for Nice, to
pay a visit to the Emperor and Empress of Russia.
The Covistitutionnel of to-day says :—" We are
authorised formally to deny the rumours relative to
the issue of a new loan."

NICE, Ocr. 27.

The Emperor of Russis bas given a banquet
to the battalion of Chasseurs of the Guard. Prince
Watgenstein proposed a toast in hononr of the
Emperor of the French, and the commander of the
troops reciprocated by proposing the health of his
Rusai-in Majesty.

ITALY.
OFFICIAL DESPATCHES.

The Paris Mortiteur, in speaking of the proceed-
ings of the Italian parliament, observes :—" The
suspension of the sittings is no doubt due to the
necessity of giving to the committees charged to
examine the bills submitted to the chambers suffi-
cient time to prepare their reports."
The despatches respecting the Franco-Italian
Convention, which were presented to the parliament
on Monday last, by General la Marmora, now ap-
pear in the Italian journals.

Ina despatch dated Turin, June 17, SignorVenosta,
the Italian minister of foreign affa,rs, communi-
cates to Signor Nigra at Paris the substance of a
despatch, in which M. Drouyn de Lhuys replies to
the different communications made to him on the
Roman question. Intimating that the Marquis Pepoli
would join his efforts to those of the Vatican repre-
sentative at Paris, Signor Vesosta proceeds to
state that the Italian government are prepared to
engage that the Roman territory shall be attacked
neither by a regular nor irregular force ; and to
raise no objection to the formation of • regular
army, provided it is recruited by the Papal govern-
m-nt purely as a means of defence. This proposal,
the minister says, " offers the only means of
arriving gradually at a solution of the Roman ques-
tion by the slow and infallible triumph of that
moral force to which the Italian parliament has
appealed by its votes—that is to say, the progressive
application of the principles of right and religious
liberty."

Italian government, Itpropoe of recent parliament.

note, in which he requested that the negotiations
might be resumed at the point at which Count
Cavour had left them, and that they might be
based on the principles of non-intervention ;
further asserting that the King's government was
prepared to undertake that no force, regular or
irregular, should invade the Pontifical territory.
This despatch is the starting-point of the last
phase of the negotiations now terminated. Signor
Nigra communicated it to M. Drouyn de Lhnys
on the 16th of the same month. The political

AtrirrßsuAN EXPLORATION. —The great extent
of work yet to b eecomplistied in exploring the northern
interior is shown by the frequency with which a
rumours relative to that put of the cootimet are received
in Adelaide. About ten days ago much interest was ex-
cited by the report that a stockamo in the employ of
Menus. Levi and Co. bed discovered a large river flowing
from a riortk.eseterly direction late Lake Errs—• report
which leads us to hope that the greatest problem of Aus-

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders was

chair.

The report, which bad been already published, having
been taken ea read,
The CHAIRMAN, fin moving its adoption, said it touched
on all poiats of interest in the last half.year's business. The
agreement between that company and the Grand Trunk
Company was producing satisfactory results in Canada. Mr.
Brydges had beau enabled to obtain traffic, oc to afford faci-
lities for graft; which could nos have been secured
before that union. The traffic receipts on the two systems
exhibited an increase of 20 per cent. over those of the corm-
spoading period of last year, and there was raison to believe
that the net results would be still more favourable. The
development of treflio in Canada was going on rapidly, and

pany would he receiving a dividend. (Hear, hear.) He

connected with the raising of the sum of 90.0001. by the
directors by a certain date.) The chairman obAei red that
but for the present state of the money market there would
be no difficulty in raising the amount in question.
Mr. Blegor, as represeottag the bondholders, said all
they wanted was an assurance from the &rectors that the
mosey would be raised.
The Soucrroa of the company said he believed that the
difficulties had so narrowed themselves that the question
was now we of words rather than of .abouince. The direc-
tors honestly thought the mosey would be raised, and all
they asked was a little forbearance.
After Kane discussion, the report was adopted.

This was • moth* foe an injunction to prevent the
datenduta from proceeding with additional buildings in coc-
oon= with the worshouse at Shoreditch, and for the
removal of such portions of the new buildings as obstructed
the light and air from an estate of which the plaintiffs are
Oniskodl., consisting of a Wesleyan methodist chapel fronting
Host, u-town, and it row of houses called Reeves's-place.
One of the additional buildings is a wall, forming the side of
a shed for the accommodation of usual paupers. A number
of affidavits were put io on both sides, asserting and deny-
iag the alleged obstruction ; and the defendants case was
that the plaintiffs bad in fact notice of the building that
was going on, through their agents, and having made no
objection at the time, but acquiesced, were precluded from
objector now.
The N'ice-Chancellor said it was admitted that there was
DO oostruetton of light and air on the south side more than
previously existed. The ancient window of the chapel was
affected to some extent, but as to that part the plaintiffs
admitted that they could not ask for a mandatory injunction
that was to compel it to be pulled down, and he was of that
opicion. But there must be a reference to chambers to
meter the compensation, having regard to the deterioration
of the plaintiffs interest in the property, and that it was •
chapel, and sot a dwelling-house. As to the wall, it was
not a part of the old building, and as it was proved that it
obstructed light sod air to the plaintiffs premises, it most
he palled down so far as it did so. He considered both
parties bad been partially wrong sod partially right, and
therefore he should give no costs on either aide.
Mr. Bailey, Mr. Lovell, and Mr. Morgan Howard were
conned for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Glasse and Mr. Martin
for the defendants.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(nom ova OWN COWSPONDENT.)
PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The Emperor and Empress and the Imperial
Prince arrived at the Tuileries this afternoon from
Compillgne. The court is now established in Paris
for the winter season.

The Sport says just before leaving Compiegne
the Imperial Prince, who heretofore had only at-
tended shooting parties as a spectator, was
allowed to take a gun iu his hand, and that he
killed three pheasants and four rabbits. This
is pretty well for Esi years old. The Em-
peror skim accompanied his son at this
bathe, the favourite setter Nero finding the game.
The Emperor, emulous of the Czar, now has this
dog constantly with him, whether at dinner or in
bed. According to the Sport, a dull season in very
high life is looked for in Paris, moot of the great
Faubourg St. Germain families having, for one
reason or another, resolved to give no parties.
M. Ilaussinanti inaugurates the winter fetes of
the Hotel de Ville by a grand dinner to be given
to-morrow to his municipal council, the ministers,
marshals of France, and several high dignitaries.
There is again a talk of the very great M. HAUS.-
mann being made greater still, by the creation of a
ministry of the city of Paris.

The tribunal of First Instance gave judgment to-
day in the case of the Savoy Bank and M. Pereire.
The decision, as was naturally to be expected, after
the course taken by government, is against M.
Pereire. His contract with the bank is declared
null and void.

It was only yesterday that Mr. Dayton's remains
were removed from Paris to Havre. Mr. Penning-
ton, charg4 d'affaires, Mr. Brooks, the American
vice-consul, and MM. R. Mason, W. Aspinwall,
R. M. Beckwith Vanderpool, and John Monroe
accompanied the coffin. At noon this day the
coffin was embarked on board the transatlantic
steamer Lafayette. Mr. Brooks has the sad duty
of accompanying the remains to New York.
The Hungarian Freemasons have elected General
Turr grand master effective, and Kossuth honorary
grand master. The grand lodge of Italy has con-
gratulated the grand lodge of Hungary on these
nominations.

The Bourse continues very buoyant. Rente rove
10c. both for cash and account, closing at G6fr. 20c.
and 66fr 30c. Mobilier is without change. Rail-
ways are about 2fr. 50c. higher.

A Brussels journal states that a woman named
Moreau, reeidieg Ilmalx (Belgium), has fuse died in
giving birth to three girls, all of whom seem likely to live.
THE NEW CORN EXCHANOZ AT ROMSET.—Lord
Palmerston paid a visit to this building on Monday. He
had promised to do so on the Saturday previous, but was
unexpectedly called to Loodon. His lordship walked from
Broadlands unattended, and was met at the door of the
&cheege by several members of the committee. including
Id ass rs. Psyches. and Creamy, and the architect, Mr. B.
Oakley. The exterior sod interior of the building was
thoroughly inspected by his lordship, who, we believe, ex-
pressed himself much pleased with its whole aoPsellett,
