WRECK OF THE SCREW STEAMER MINHO—Loss OF
NINETY-FOUR LlVES.—Advices from Gibraltar bring us
the melancholly intelligence of the loss of the screw steamer
Minho, Captain Marquillas, on her passage from this port
to Barcelona. It seems that the ill-fated vessel, on the
28th ultimo, when off Tarifa, came into collision with the
transport ship Minden, and received such damage that she
almost immediately sank, She had on board 115 souls, of
whom only four passengers and seventeen of the crew
(twenty-one in all) were saved. We regl et further to learn
that Captain Marquillas is supposed to have gone down
with the steamer.

A MAN SAWN TO DEATH.—On Friday, at Ardwick,
Manchester, a man, named Israel Riley, was literally sawn
to death. He was in the employ of Messrs. Bennett, timber
merchants, Hyde-road, and he had the charge of the cir-
cular saw. This can be oiled and greased only when it is
in motion. Between four and five o'clock on Friday after-
noon, after greasing one side of it, Riley attempted to step
over, upon the iron platform on which the wood to be sawn
is placed, in order to get at the other side ; and, as he did
so, his foot slipped and he fell upon the saw. It took off
one of his legs, cut open hie side, and threw him forward in
this horribly mutilated condition. Some of his fellow
workmen caught him and prevented him falling ; but he
lived only a few minutes. He was a steady man, and he
was acquainted with the saw, as he had been in Messrs.
Bennett's employ since June last. He leaves a widow and
three children. The inquest was held on Saturday, by Mr
Herford, city coroner, and a verdict of " accidental death"
returned.

ST. ANNE'S DISPENSARY AND EYE AND EAR INSTITU-

Trim LATE EXECUTION.—The Sheriffs of London and
Middlesex have sent in their report to the:Secretary of State,
in reference to the unhappy circumstances attending the
execution of the murderer Bousfield, at the Old Bailey, on
Monday last. The Sheriffs report that Calcraft, the execu-
tioner, was unnerved by a letter which he had received from
a party of roughs, threatening his life on the scaffold ; and
that the unhappy circumstances of the execution were aggra-
vated by the physical prostration of the wretched victim
when brought up for execution.

CORONER'S COURT.—An inquest was to be held on the
b )dy of a man, named Joseph Harris, who, it was supposed,
had hung himself in his father's kitchen, as reported in this
journal. From inquiries, however, it was discovered that
there were some suspicious circumstances connected with
the case, which rendered an adjournment necessary, for the
purpose of procuring some additional evidence. It was dis.
covered that when the body of the deceased was found the
hands were tied behind him, with the cord by which he was
suspended. The inquest will be resumed to-morrow (Tues-
day.)

THE SELECT VESTRY.—On Saturday, the polling for the

in the forenoon, and was continued until four o'clock in the
afternoon, when the following was the result :—Mr.
Flannagan, 335; Mr. Tyrel, 330. Majority, 5. The
result was received with cheers by the friends of the former
gentleman. Yesterday, the town was extensively placarded
with large bills, calling upon " the friends of Protestantism"
to be early at the poll thismorning, to record their votes,
for the purpose of opposi...g the " Romanist backed as he
was by the churchwardens." The poll is announced to be
again opened this morning at ten o'clock.

LA.TEST INTELLIGENCE,

THE PEACE.

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING

The Monite'ur of to-day announces that pending

the exchange of the ratifications of the Peace

Treaty of Paris, a maritime armistice has been con-
cluded between the belligerent powers.

letter of our own Paris correspondent.—En. N.T.]

FRANCE.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.
Another sitting of the Congress has been held

to-day.
I am assured, on fair authority, that the French
Emperor, notwithstanding the conclusion of peace,
clings more firmly than ever to the English alli-
ance, and that, as a proof of his sincerity, he even
contemplates entering into a liberal commercial treaty
with England. His decided adoption of the English

alliance, has, I am told, made a profound impres

sion on the Russian negociators, and in conse

quence, they are much more civil to England than
they were at first disposed to be.
Count Orloff I hear loudly complains that the
Princess Lieven and M. de Kisselef, the two

Russian diplomatists in Paris, before the war corn
menced, completely deceived the Russian Govern.

went, by their reports on the state of France, anti
on the impossibility of an alliance between France
and England. The Princess Lieven has closed

her salon

The Journal des Debate announces somewhai

authoritatively, that the French and English
governments have not determined that their
alliance shall be exercised, if necessary, against

the United States ; but this seems to be simply a

new version of what Lord Clarendon said months

ago. The question, whether or not France would
be disposed to support England in the event of a
war with the States, is a good deal discussed

here. Most people, French as well as English
seem to think that she would ; but though, most
undoubtedly, her present government bears no
good will to the States, and though recent pro-

ceedings of the States have greatly depopularised
them in France, it is not likely that France is
disposed to go to war with them, de gaiete de caur►
and still less merely to oblige England.

A private telegraphic despatch from Hamburg
says, that the departure of the Russian crews for
Riga, to man the gunboats, had been counter-
manded.

A Credit Mobilier Society is, it is said, to be

established at Constantinople, and the Roths

childs are to invest upwards of £2,000,000 in it

I am told the Austrian troops will very shortly

evacuate the Legations.
Yesterday took place the reception of the Duke

de Broglie, as member of the Academie Francaise

and, as usual, he delivered a long speech in eulo-
glum of his predecessor, Count de St. Aulaire, for-
merly French Ambassador at London ; but, though
he was a politician speaking of a politician, he said
nothing remarkable. M. Nisard, who replied to
him, and who is an adherent of the present govern-
ment, wanted to praise the coup d etat which raised
the Emperor to the throne, but this the Academy
would not allow.

THE ABANDONMENT OP THE SHIP EURIPA.—The enquiry
into this case terminated on Saturday before Mr. Mansfield
and [Captain Schomberg. After the examination of
several witnesses, the court decided on sending up the
captain's certificate to the board of trade for the present.
THE Lams ELECTIONS.—Mr. John Ennis, governor of
the bank of Ireland, and chairman of the Irish Midland
Great Western railway, is about to offer himself as a
candidate for Athlone on liberal principles, and will in all
probability, be successful, although it is srid he will have
a competitor in Mr. John Reynolds. In the borough of
Ennis no opposition is expected to the re-election of Mr.
J. D. Fitzgerald, the new Attorney General.

on Hungary in general, and the Protestantism of Hungary
in particular." This is the first visit of M. Kossuth to this
part of the country, and there can be little doubt that the
fame of his name, combined with the attractive subject on
which he is to discourse, will draw together an over-
flowing audience. Indeed, on this occasion his hearers will
have the double pleasure of listening to eloquence unsur-
passed in any age, and of benefitting an institution
deserving of the largest measure of public support, inasmuch
as the proceeds of the evening will be given to the Chester
Mechanics' Institution.

Now : Scotch pig is unchanged, and there is very little
doing ; last sales were made ati 36 dols to 37 dols, six
months.
LEAD : The market is dull.
AIOLASSES : New Orleans is in fair demand, with sales
of 250 brls at 41c to 46c. _

NAVAL STORES : Crude turpentine is nominal, at 4 dots
25c to 4 dols 50c. Spirits turpentine are very heavy, and
since the sale of 700 brls at 31e, reported this morning,
we have not heard of any further transactions. Rosins
are held firmly, owing to the decline in freights, and there
is more inquiry for common for shipment, at 1 dol 60c to
1 del 621 c per 310 lbs, delivered ; fine rosins are scarce
and in good demand. Tar—nothing doing.
OILS : Linseed oil continues in good demand, in lots
from store at 85c ; we do not hear of any wholesale parcels
changing hands. Crude whale remains quiet and firm at
82c to 83c; refined do. is in fair request at 90c for winter
bleached, 4 mos. Crude sperm is steady at 1 dol 80c
refined do. is selling in lots from store at 2 dots 10c to
2 do's: 15c for bleached and unbleached. Lard oil is
quiet at 950 cash ; the stock is still light, and manufac-
turers are just beginning to resume operations. Palm oil
is heavy ; last sales which transpired were made at 9ic
per lb., but the market price is now below this rate.
Puovistoris : Mess pork is easier, and closes heavily at
15 dols 8l c, with sales of 325 bbls ;"prime is scarce and
nominal at 15 dols. Beef is heavy and dull, with sales 170
bbls at 9 dols 25c to 11 dols for country mess, 1 dol 25c
to 8 dols 75c for country prime, and 11 dols to 13 dols 25c
for repNcked Western. Beef hams are steady, with sales
200 bbls at 14 dots to 16 dols. Cut meats are without
further change ; we notice sales 140 casks at 81e to 91c for
hams, and 71c to 71c for shoulders. Bacon is quiet. (Arc'
is unchanged, with sales of 260 tierces and bbls at 91c to
lOic. Butter continues very heavy and dull. Cheese is
quiet.
RICE: Is dull, but prices remain unchanged.

SALT: There has been more activity at fixed rates ; 650
bags Ashton's Liverpool fine were sold at 1 dol 50c, 2,450
sacks Marshall's at 1 del 37Lc, and 1,875 sacks Liverpool
ground at 90.
SUGAR: Is hardly as buoyant, with a fair:Zbusiness
doing ; the sales are 650 hhds Cuba at 71 to 7i.
FREIGHTS : Are easier ; to Liverpool, 35,000 bushels
grain were taken at 61d to bid, in bulk. and 7d in ship's
bags ; flour is quoted at 2s 3,1 to 2s 41d ; cotton, 9-32c1 to
5-16(1; 100 bales Sea Island, 7.16(1.
MONEY AND STOCKS : There is no material change in our
money market since our advices of the l Bth ult. The pay-
ment by the Sub-Treasury of about 1,500,000 dollars on
account of the Mexican indemnity, has neutralised the effect
produced by fears of specie exportations, which, however, are
but slowly taking place. The news from Liverpool, of the
Bth ult., unanimously confirming hopes of an early peace, al-
though occasioning in our stock market no great activity, has
caused, for a short while, a rise, which is, however, barely
sustained, and the market closes dull. With the exception of
State Stocks, our table of daily quotations shows some im-
provement.
