A letter from Milan mentions that new cal
have been built in that city to run upon the long line of
railway from Sues to Brindisi, which is to convey the
Indian mails and Revellers from Englaod. Some of these
carriages are adapted for families or parties of friends. They
are rather longer than the usual carriages, and divided into
three compartments, communicatiog by sliding doors.
There is the anteroom for servants, the sitting-room with
four oonveoient sofas, upon each of which one person can
sleep, a bedroom with a bed for two persons, washing appa-
ratus, Sam, while in the daytime the travellers can walk up
and down through the three compartments.
An attempt to excite a revolt among the convicts
in the penitentiary of Riom has coat the lives of two of
the keepers. A shoemaker, who had been more than ones
convicted, armed himself with a knife and excited the other
prisoners in his ward to attempt their escape. The ring-
leader /nabbed two of the turnkeys to the heart, and it
required a strong force of the gendarmerie to disarm him.
He was committed to the city prison on a charge of murder.
THE STATISTICAL CoNcsiss.—The committee of
the Ststistioal Congteer, which was appointed to decide on
the claims of Russia, Italy, and Switzerland, the goye.n.
meets of which invited the congrem to bold the *maims of
this year in their respective capitals have decided in favour
of Italy. The oongrem will be held next Septaml-er, and
the Italian government are already making preparations to
give the members a brilliatt reception.
FIRE AT THE BARONESS WINDSOR'S.--(THIS DAY.)
About half-put 2 o'clock this morning a fire took place in
the mansion of the Baroness Windsor, No. 53, Grosvenor-
street, Grosvenor-square. There began two staircases in
the building, the whole of the inmates escaped without
much difficulty. The baroness's son, Mr. Windsor Olive,
M.P., Colonel of the Coldstream Guards, assisted in con-
fining the fire to the room in which it broke out.— About
half-past 1 o'clock al destructive ,fire happened in the
premises of Messrs. Hall and Morris, fancy box-makers,
No. 63, Britannia-street, Horton. The upper part of the
premises was burnt out.
THR WESLEYANS AND THE HUMILIATION.—Thies
morning the Wesleyan Methodi•te had services in all their
London chapels and observed the day as one of humiliation
on account of the cattle plague. The serving were well
attended.
FROZEN-our DERR. —Az the snow deepened on
the Braemar hills and upland glens the deer, with their
usual precision, congregated upon the low grounds. At first,
bay was sparingly laid out in small quantitiesowing
to the uniformly-increasing depth of the snow since Mon-
day week, the gamekeepers of both Old and New Mar Lodge,
with a staff of amistanta, have daily been engaged in laying
out large supplies of bay and provender at convenient
situations, which was greedily devoured almost as soon as
1 given out. The starved herds in most instances followed
closely in the wake of themes of hay, several of the leading
stags even becoming bold enough to snatch an 000ssional
mouthful on the route. Perhaps the greatest difilculty
experienced by the gamekeepers was in protecting the weak
and yoneg deer from the attacks of the strong stags, which
in several instances boldly eudeevoured to monopolise the
mutests of the various heaps, to the exclusion of others.
In the vicinity of Old Mu Lodge, sad en the Carr Hill and
adjoining plateau to the east of New Mar Lodge the step
have herded together in fabulous numbers. In fact, it
would appear that the strength of both forests has gathered
at these places. The proximity of such neighbours, how.
' ever, has been a source of trouble, and, in many instances,
serious loss to the farmers, whose atackyards end turnips
' in pits and under other oover have been boldly attacked by
; the prowling invaders, which, as the severity of the
weather increased. have become proportionally aadoas in
their inroads.—Sdinburph Evening Courant.

It is said that the fall lately noticed in the
English funds has been promoted by the large
amount of stock that had been carried over from
oue account to another for the Joint Stock Dis-
count Company. This has been sold from day to
day to close the account, and, in anticipation of
the supply, the dealers have kept themselves out
of stock, so that they might be in a position to
take it when it came for sale.
