PRUSSIA.

BERLIN. Sm. 10.

To-day, in the Upper House, the committee on
the Annexation Bill recommended the adoption,
without alteration, of the bill in the amended ,
form in which it was passed by the Lower House.
The bill thus amended was adopted by a large
majority.
Previous to the vote Herr von Busche-Streithorst
pot in a protest against the annexation of Hallow.
The committee of the Chamber of Deputies on
the Loan Bill definitively resolved to-day to recom-
mend
to the house the rejection of the loan of 60
millions demanded by the government, and the
adoptionof thebillaa amended in committee, autho-
rising the issue of treasury bonds to the value of
30 million thalers, repayable in one year.
The Minister of Finance declared that this
amendment was unacceptable, and added that the
government attached no importance to the resolu-
tion of the committee, as it hoped that a more
favourable result would be obtained from a full
house.

The ratifications of the treaties of alliance were
exchanged on the Bth inst. between Prussia and
Oldenburg, Saxe-Weimar, Brunswick, Anhalt,
Altenburg, the two Schwarzburgs, Waldeck, the
two Lippes, Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Reuss (younger
branch), and the Manse Towns, and between Pr m-
sla and the two Mecklenburg' to-day. .

Up to the present time the negotiations with
Saxony have not referred to that kingdom's future
position in the North German Confederation.
Before entering into negotiations on this sub-
ject Prussia demands that the Saxon troops should
evacuate Konigstein.
It is believed that the evacuation of that fortress
will take place very shortly.

THE INSURRECTION IN CANDIA.
CONSTANTINOPLE, 81: T. 8.

Mustapha Paella leaves here to-day for Candia,
with conciliatory propositions from the Porte to
the Cretan insurgents. Many of the Mussulman
inhabitants of the rural districts of Candia have
abandoned their homes and taken refuge at Canes.
The Turkish authorities declare, notwithstanding
the assertions of the Greek journals, that not a
'single drop of Greek blood has been shed since
the outbreak of the disturbances. They declare,
moreover, that the Christians have assassinated
several Mussulmans, and seized the cattle and pro-
perty of those who had fled to Canes.

ACCIDENT TO A MAIL TRAIN.—To the list of
accidents which have of late occurred on the North Eastern
Railway, the record of one which happened on Saturday
night has to be added. In this instance • mail train had
an extremely narrow escape. The cause was simple, yet
one which ought not, by any possibility, to have been
capable of happening. The train which came to grief was
the eight o'clock mail from Hull on Saturday evening.
It consisted of an engine, a tender, a guard's van, two
composite carriages (first and second classes combined),
and the van occupied by the mail guard. In advance
of it was a goods train for Normanton, of great length,
and to allow the mail to pass the former was shunted
at Selby on a siding a little distance beyond that sta-
tion. This siding leaves the main line just beyond the
station, and at the other end (some half mile awa)) re-
joins the main line, rendering it accessible in either direc-
tion. The goods train had been taken to the points most
distant from the station and backed into the siding. The
goods train was unfortunately backed a little too far, the
last truck being pushed so near to the main line at the
points nearest the Selby station that the buffer projected
over the line. When the mail train approached, the en-
gine came in contact with the buffer of the truck. The
side of the engine and tender were grased or scraped, the
guard's van more extensively damaged, some of the han-
dles and steps of the two carriages torn off. The 8.50
p.m. express, which is timed to pass Selby shortly after
the mad, was stopped, and in no way endangered. The
passengers of the mail train suffered nothing beyond •
shaking of the nerves, and were forwarded with little
delay by the express.—Eastern Morning News.
