the Spanish government has consented to extend for

for compliance by the Fiaperor of Morocco with its
ultimatum, which time expired at midnight on Sitar-

the intervention of England with the object of pre-

From the North of China we have the important
intelligence that Mr. Ward, the American minister,
has been courteously received by the Chinese autho-
rities, and has entered Pekin, where he was to ex-
change the ratified treaties. An officer who aceom_
parried him • portion of the way says that " the
Chiarie authorities were very polite and condescend-
ing," and that they averted their government was
prepared and anxious to receive all the ministers in
a peaceful and courteous manner.

Courts-martial have been held on Commander
Wodehouse and the officers and crew of her Majesty'e
despatch boat Cormorant, on Lieutenant W. H.
Jonas and the officers and crew of the Lee, and on
Lieutenant A. E. 'Jungles, with the officers and crew
of the l'tover, which three vessels were entirely lost
in the engagement at Take. All of them were ac-
quitted. Captain Shadwell has been relieved in his
duties as senior navel officer at Shanghae. Admire:
Hope's despaicaes, containing an account of the
Take affair, were n:lowed to remain at Shaughae,
under the charge of thin dikter, till after the mail
left, though they afterwards overtook it at Singapore
in a private steamer.

It is ruutlurett, but on no good authority, that the
Ruseians exchanged ratifications with the Caine*.
more than two months ago. General Mouraeietf,
the Goeeroor-General of Eastern Siberia, has paid •
visit to the mouth of the l'eiho, and was about to be
followed there by no tau than four Russian gun-

The telegraphic report published on Saturday, of
au alleged attack on • British station in Central
India by Ferore Shah, appears to have been bated
on • wet-our puon. The following are the facts:
An 'mute among the convicts in the gaol at
Mundlai.ir, whiiti is about 30 miles from Mhow„
took ip.ice on the 22nd of August, and was attended
with lone of life. The convict guard, which con-
sisted of only eight men of the 19th Bombay Native
Infantry, was suddenly attacked and overpowered
by the prieotere, who numbered about 330. Upon
hearing the noise, Captain Hawes, the acting poli-
tical agent, with a party of the 19th Native
Imfantry, hastened to the gaol, which they found
in possession of the convicta. They commenced
shooting them down as fast as they could fire sad
load ; but the pri.oners were too numerous. 'They
seized one of the bastions, and commenced firing
upon Captain Hawes and his men. The former was
soon bit, two bullets having entered his body. Six
guns and some rowan belonging to Holkar fortu-
nately arrived, or the whole detachment would have
been cut to p;icee. Three or four of Holkar's men
were killed, and a number of the convicts. Before
leaving Mondlaisir, they plundered the treasury.
neural of the convicts have been re-captured and
brought hack to Mundlaisir, and many lost their
lives during the firing. It is stated that the ardor.
tussle Captain Hanes was introducing a new prison
discipline, so that the gaol might really be a place of
punishment inetead of recreation, as is the cue in
too many prisons in India, and that the rising was
the MU:: of the unwelcome change.

that would satisfy me that Mr. Haydon had permitted bite

TEE PIRR AT A OAS WORKS IR DUBLIN;

We briefly stated in our impression of Tuesday
that a fire of a most destructive character had broken oat
the previous morning at the Hibernian Gas Works, Dublin.
TM amuse in Mum it originated hes not yet been arm-
Moly determined, but it ippon that sir immense tank
ormedaing garter burst, owing to the week, of the heat.
The hoops which held the teak partway at about four
o'clock in the morning, although there had Imes no meson
to anticapate such an accident, and the tar rushed out In a
torrent, Bowing over the yard. Sack a quantity after 'moped
that the ground for some distanoe was covered to the depth
of three feet, and some men ware knocked down, but not much
hurt, by the rued of the Said meas, which entered the retort-
house,
house where it is believed that it caught fire. The alarm wee
given by the foremen to the police, and in a short epees of
time severel firosegtoes were on the spot. In the meantime,
however. the conflagration assented a very 'Mons appearance,
apreeding to tared the large gas-holders In anti& was con-
tained a supply of gm intended to be consumed during the
day. The result was, se might be expected, that these ex-
ploded with a loud noise. /stoat 6 o'clock the polio, and
=Non engines arrived, and wage worked se sets se pos-
bay a number of men, under the direction of Mr. Crofton
end Mr. Inspector Boyle. The flames oonsmunkated to two
other gm-holders, one of which exploded shortly afterwards.
A good supply of water was obtained from the berm of the
canal, but owing to a severe frost it was found very diffi-
cult to work the engines. Some idea of the eavaity
the frost may be formed from the fact that If any engine
Mapped working for • few minutes the pipes and the hose
became an stopped within, that it was no easy matter to sit it
working Mrsin. On account of this hot water bad to be used
by the polies-engine in order to have a continuo= stream
playing upon the burning MUG. Great service wee done by
the ma of the 22nd Regiment, whom the commanding cam
at one sent from Beggar's-bush Barracks, at the:request of
Mr. Crofton. Two hundred men were almoet immediately
oa the spot and worked the various engines. The results of
the Ire would have been much more merlons,, and the damage
to property much greater, but for the exertions of them men.
A Morehouse containing 400 tone of coal, which at one time
it was feared would have been lost, was eared by the vigorous
manner in which the engines were worked, and the case which
was taken to cut off the means of communication. Mr. Gil-
bert Standen, the active manager of the company, arrived
shortly after the fire broke out, and was most persevering in
his exertions to prevent the spread of the conflagration. It
Is very fortunate that little injury was done to the working de-
partment. Owing to the extent of the mischief done, some
inconvenience may molt as far as the lighting of the city is
concerned. The valued the property destroyed =not yet
be ascertalosd, but MIA cover several thousand pounds.

SWITZERLAND.

The Chroniqueur of Friburg contains the fol-
lowing :
We have been made acquainted with the contents of the
despatch addressed by Mgr. &Merl to the Federal Council
on the question of the diocese la the canton of Ticino. The
churn ten/hires of the Holy Bee, acting upon instructions
received from Rome, has informed the Federal Council that
the decree of separation, voted by the Federal Assembly, had
produced a most painful impression on the Holy Father.
That decision settles the question by violently depriving the
Bishops of Como and Milan of the jurisdiction which they
exercised over the territory in question. "This decree,'
said the Raman Marne d'affairer, "is opposed to the eccle-
siastical anima The Holy Father is eionsequeetly obliged
to make the necessary representations, at the same time that
be cherishes the desire to prove his solicitude for the welters
of the Swiss catholic". For that rasa:tali* he R dispoeed to
tams to en understanding with the federal authorities!' on the
question of the ecclesiastical administration in the Ticino,
and on other similar matters, which may still remain unset-
tled In Berilssrland."

Mr. Davy. • oommercial traveller, brought an action
agalust the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company for
injuries sustained in • Million on the Its. of that company.
Mr. ldward lame*, Q.C., sad Mr. Pope appeared for the
plaintiff; Mr. Moak, Q.C., and Mr. Wheeler represented the
defendants. _ _ _

The plaintiff was • commercial traveller, who had been for
some time In the employment of Meeers:Harrieons end Crow
field, tea merchants, London, from whom be was receivinde
salary of 7601. • year. On the 12th of May last he had ad '
mien to go, in the course of hie business, from Manchester
to Bradford. Ile went by the defendant.' railway, and
having completed his basins La Bradford was returning
by the same line to Manchester. The railway
passed through a tunnel ; and whilst the ,rate in which the
plaintiff travelled was in Um tunnel a delay took place from
some canna, and the carriages were brought to • stand-still.
While thus stationary, and in the dark, another train tooting
up ran into it, and the plaintiff who est in a second-class
carriage, was hang oat of his lest with great Apiece.. He
received considerable injuries to his knees and other ports of
his perms. Be bad put himself under Quotas of Dr. White-
head, of Manchester; and went by hie advice for • month
to Blackpool, and thin to Ilkley Wens. After leaving the
latter place, believing himself somewhat recovered, he at-
tempted for Ave weeks to purism his business, but found him-
self incapable, and had, therefore, to give It up. He
then, and still, suffered, not only in his physical frame but
from an intense nervousness and • loss of memory, which In-
eapeedtsted him from following oat his business avocations.
Oa the 26th of October he mired a letter from Messrs.
Harrison. and Croseeld, informing him that as he wee usable
to perform his business duties they considered his employ-
ment with them at an end, and had, therefore, appointed
another piston to conduct the business in the Manchester dis-
trict for them. During the time he wee at Blackpool and
I.l=Wella he had not been paid his salary. He was
, and had four children. The action was, therefore,
brought to recover damages for the leas and injuries elm-
tidned through the negligence of the defendants' servants.
The defame was merely addressed to the amount of
damages.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(MOW ova OWN

PARIS, TaiuoAT Ilinninto.

The Roane was very heavy indeed et the com-
mencement of business. The rtes of yesterday is
attributed to a false report of a rise in metallic. at
Vienna, and most urgent requests have been made
to the syndicate to have the Vienna quotations
placarded regularly, like those from London. It
now appears that there was no change in the
metallic, yesterday ; to-day they have fallen one per
cent. The opinion that Lord Cowley's mission is a
failure gains ground. There wee, however, an up-
ward reaction in the Rents in the coarse of the day,
owing to a report of the court of Vienna having
made some counter propositions. The Rents closed
at 07fr. 40e. for cash, and 67fr. tic. for account, with
a fall of 600. and 30c. Mobilier fell 10fr. The
Orleans Railway fell 7fr. 60c.; them was little
show in the other lines.

I ;motioned long ago that 64 transport ships had
bees ordered to be ready at Toulon by the beginning
of Marob. It is now publicly stated that the..
vessels will be in a condition to put to ma in a very
few days.
The report that Count Carom had paid a hurried
and secret visit to Paris owes Its origin to a mistake
of some southern provincial journals. M. Nigra,
Count Cavotir's principal secretary, has bsea hen oa
a confidential mission, and wu received by the
Emperor.
M. Leak Vesillot has strived in Paris from
Rome. He travelled in the same boat and train with
M. Mites. The inauguration of the railway from
Civita Vecchia to Rome is said to be fixed for
April 1 (ominous day).

The Pres** announces the retirement of its prin-
cipal editor, M. Oueroult, whose war articles, sup-
posed to be inspired by the Petals Royal, have
excited so much attention. The report that he
was to be private secretary to Prince Napoleon
le contradicted. Some say that he was offered the
poet, and refined it. The rumour now is that he
will join the Courrier Paris, which will beams
the organ of the Palais Royal. What will be the
political line of the Press* under the new manage-
meat is a matter of conjecture. M. Felix Solar, the
purchaser, was en Orleaniet, but he would hardly
invest a large sum of money in Paris in the ferlora
hope of being allowed to propagate Orleaniet
opinions. If there be any truth in the annotate-
silent, which is still uncootradicted;that M. Neither
returns to the Presse, it is quite certain that the
kernel will continuetobe isliberal as the administra-
tion will allow. It is said this evening that M. Peyrat
(who retired nearly a year ago, after having written
as article, calling for more liberty, which led to the
suspension of the journal for two months) will re-
name his place among the staff of writers. Can it
