PARIS, FRIDAY Evatinca.

This justice must be done to the Moniteur, in
spite of the suspicion that Napoleon 11l would not
be sorry to see the last Bourbon throne overturned,
that it faithfully adopts all the official news from
Madrid. Only this morning it informed the public,
which believes in it, that Prim was on the point of
taking refuge in Portugal. The latest news, how-
ever, is that he has taken quite another direction,
that he has destroyed a great part of the railway
between Ciudad Real and Badajoz, and that it is
apprehended he may provoke an insurrection
in Andalusia. One senator alone constituted
the minority against the vote authorising the trial
of Prim for treason. This isolated senator may,
to-morrow be on the winning side, for the
rerryhrteet news is that Prim, with colours flying,
was marching upon Cordova.

PARIS, JAN. 19.

The Prase of this evening announces in a leading
article, headed "The Evacuation of Mexico," that
Baron Saillard left Paris on Monday last, for the
purpose of making the necessary arrangements with
the Emperor Maximilian for the return of the
French troops at the earliest possible date

THE MILITARY REVOLT IN SPAIN.
BAYONNE, JAL 1L

Despatches received here from Madrid to the
evening of the 17th instant, state that the insur-
gents under General Prim were certainly marching
into Andalusia.

They left Hays on the morning of the 16th inst.,
and after a march of 50 kilometres, arrived the
same evening at Zalamea, 15 kilometres distant
from the province of Cordova, having destroyed on
the way a portion of the Cuidad Real and Badajoa
Railway.
It was believed in Madrid that it was the captain
of the Covadanga who had committed suicide, and
not Admiral Pareja.

The young Count Andrd de Montalembert,
nephew of the eminent orator and writer of that
name, and son of the Marquis de Montalembert,
who was colonel of a cavalry regiment. and died of
cholera in Africa three years ago, has just entered
himself as a novice in a Jesuit college.
Fish is just now extremely dear in Paris, owing
to the tempestuous weather. ♦ tolerable turbot
costs 41. The wonderful phenomenon, however, of
turbot served every day at the eigbteenpenny
dinners of the Palais Royal puzzles many brains.
The explanation is said to be that the restaura-
teurs extract most of the salt from salted cod, and
then serve up the pulp, smothered in sauce, as
turbot. The customers who know that fish is dear
—and do not expect anything very good for a small
price—swallow the nondescript morsel, and it does
them no harm.

ITALY.

FLORESCE. JAN. 19.

A despatch received here from Venice announces
that the Provincial Congregation has unanimously
resolved upon the maintenance of the Province of
Venice, and upon addressing a remonstrance in
this sense to the Central Congregation.

THE PRUSSIAN CHAMBERS.
BERLIN, J. 19.

In the Chamber of Deputies to-day Herr Vichow
moved that the statement made by the government
in the speech from the throne at the opening of the
session, relative to the union of Lauenburg with
the Prussian crown, should be declared invalid and
contrary to the ordinances of the constitution so
long as it has not received the sanction of the
Chambers.

Dr. Pusey was at Bordeaux the other day ; he
had several interviews with the cardinal arch-
bishop, and passed Sunday in the monastery of the
Dominican fathers.

The Bourse lost, and more than lost, the rise of
yeeterday, owing to rumours that the Emperor can-
not make up his mind to come away from Mexico.
Rents fell 25c. for cash, and 15c. for account, closing
at 68fr. 50c. and 68fr. 55c.; Mobilier fall I2fr. 50c.;
Italian rose 10fr.

RAILWAY AND OTHER BILIS BEFORE PARLIAMENT,
—Yesterday, Mr. Frere, one of the examiners of standing
order proofs upon hills about to be introduced to the House
of Commons, resumed his duties in No. 16 committee-
room, and although the lists allotted to that gentleman
and his colleague only comprised fourteen bills, the oppo-
sition to two of them caused the examiner to extend his
sittings far beyond the usual hour of four o'clock. The fol-
lowing unopposed bills were passed, the examiner having
declared the standing orders to have been complied with,
viz.:—Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (West Riding
Branches, he) ; North Metropolitan Railway ; East London
Eastern Extension Railway • East and West Junction
Railway (Capital); Whitstable Fishery Extension; Lynn
and Batton-bridge, Spalding and Bourn, and Norwich and
Spalding Railway Companies ; Hampstead, Highgate, and
Charing-cross Railway • Midland Railway (Aahby,
Nuneaton, Ac.); and Midland Railway (Settle to Carlisle).
The standing orders were declared to have been complied
with in the adjourned petitions (unopposed) of the Lynn
and Sutton-bridge Railway (Works at King's Lynn), and
the Spalding and Bourn Railway Bills. 'The further coo.
sideration of the London, Brighton, and South Ooest Rail-
way (Surrey lines) Bill was proceeded with, and after hear-
ing the parties in opposition, the decision was postponed
until Monday, for the settlement of some matters of detail.
The examiner then proceeded with the opposed petition of
the Londoo Chatham, and Dover, and South Eastern
(Kennington, Clapham, and Briztoo) Railway, the further
hearing of which was adjourned at five o'clock, when the
examiner adjourned the sitti_off until Monday next.
THE OUTRAGE AND MURDER AT LANCARTER.-.-.
Yesterday a borsebreaker (John Cottam byname) was charged
before the magistrates at Laneaster with committing a
criminal outrage upon, sod afterwards murdering, a girl
named Elizabeth Nelson. The police are in possession of
facts not only implicating Cottam. but also another man.
lo consequence of some relationship or connexion between
Cottam and one or two members of the coroner's jury, the
inquest has been adjourned, and the magistrates yesterday
remanded Cottam in order that the police may have time to
complete their chain of evidence.
THE SHROPSHIRE MURDER.—CLZOBUST MOZ.
TIMER, FRIDAY. —This shocking crime is still enveloped in
mystery. The prisoner, James Childs, who was appre-
hended at Wolverhampton last Monday, and examined at
Bridgnorth yesterday, when he was remanded to this town,
arrived here late last night in custody of the police, and it
was fixed to continue the examination here to-day. The
clerk having read the depositions, the substance of which
appears in to•day's papers, the chairman then inquired if
there were any other witnesses ready to be examined, to
which the police superintendent (Mr. Williams) replied in
the negative. There was no person present acting for the
prosecution or for the prisoner, and the polio* appeared to
have abandoned the charge against him. The magistrates
then directed the court to be cleared, and having consulted
together in private for about a quarter of an hour, directed
the public to be readmitted. The chairman (Mr. Childs)
then said—We are desirous that the public should
learn that the magistrates present, after giving the
fullest attention in their power to the depositions that
have been takes at Bridgnorth in this shocking case, are
unanimously of opinion that under existing circum-
stances there is no reason why the prisoner should be de.
stirred any longer in custody. He is therefore discharged.
The prisoner was then removed, end the crowd, who ap-
peared much disappointed at the sudden termination of the
inquiry, slowly dupersed. Some regret prevailed that the
prisoner bad had no opportunity afforded him of explaining
away the one or two little circumstances against him, and
among others his possession of a sovereign on Monday morn.
ing, it appearing that he was unable to pay for a bed on
Saturday night. The magistrates afterwards had a private
meeting, and were some time in deliberation as to the next
step to be taken. It was arranged that they should visit
the spot where the murder wee committed to-morrow.
The police are now following op a clue in another direction,
but for obvious reasons decline to afford any information as
to their suspicions. We may say, however, that there is
good reason to believe that the murderer is still in the
cosetry.
COLLISION ON THE MIDLAND RAIIRWAY.A.
serious collision took place yesterday morning at Trent
station, on the Midland Railway, some miles from Notting-
ham. About eight o'clock the Leicester train left Trent
station for the latter town, and when it had reached Loog
Eaton Junction a coal train was making a curve to go up
the Erewash Valley line. The driver of the Leicester train
considered himself quite clear of the coal train, but did cot
see the Codnor-park train, whisk was coming along at
rapid rate. The consequence was that both passenger trains
ran broadside into each other while attempting to come on
to the same line. One of the engines and five or six can
were smashed to pieces, but, fortunately, Dora of the
passengers were severely injured. though many of them
were considerably shaken. The traffic was stopped for about
three hours.
THE WRECKS AT TORBAY.-.-A meeting of
iDSu-
ential gentlemen was held on Thursday at Torquay for a
very humane purpose. TOR destrontioa of 30 noels end

The Royal Mail Company believe, it is stated,
that there is no foundation for certain reports abroad in
regard to a diameter to the Atrato, West India mail
steamer, carrying out the Jamaica Commissioners. The
rumour appears to have arisen from the het that a framed
notice., which at one time must have beau on board
one of the comnpany's ships, was picked up on the beach at
Bartsch, Carnarsonshire ; bat there is nothing whatever to
oonseet this with the Atrato.

AUSTRIAN EXHIBITION OF AGRICULTURE.—The
Austrian ambassador in London has informed her Majesty's
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs that it is the ioten.
tion of the Imperial Society of Agriculture and Rural
Economy at Vienna to hold in that capital an exhibition of
animals, produce, machines, and instruments relating to
agriculture and plantations. This exhibition will take
place between the 17th and 31st May ; it will be inter-
national as far as regards machines, instruments, and tools ;
and medals of silver and bronze will be awarded to the best
specimens, the jury for the distribution of theme prizes
being partly composed of foreign jurors from the various
countries which may take part in the exhibition. The
Austrian government have taken this exhibition under
their patronage, and they express a hope that foreign
countries will be fully represented thereat, and that the
department of machines and instruments relating to apt.
culture and plantations will present a complete collection,
not only of those used in Austria, but also of the products
of foreign countries.
DEATH OF COUNT ZAMOYSIII. One of the
most retired parts of London has just witnessed the death
of a man whose name has of late, as it has in past history,
been loudly and honourably mentioned among the promi-
nent characters of Poland. Count Zamoyski, who died on
the 9th inst., at 12, Warden-road, Kentish-town, at the age
of 67 years, was the bead of his family, the proprietor of
the large entailed estate of Zama's, the brother of Count
Andrew and General Zamoyski, well known in England.
Amidst the various vicissitudes mil the succession of
Musters which occurred in his country during his life, his
career was highly honourable and useful, especially in his
steady, unceasing, and successful exertions to ameliorate
the condition of the peas►ntry on his vast estates. The
state of Polon& and the grief be felt in consequence, bad
induced him for many years to live in complete retirement
in England, and seems to have hastened his otherwise quiet
and Christian end. His remains have been deposited at the
Roman Catholic chapel of Keosal•gteeeo Cemetery, to be
further removed by his children to the family grave in
Poland.
