that the Papal nuncio will preside at the forthcoming
assembly of Austrian prelates when the Papal proposals
are under examination. On other occasions the presi-
dency will be taken by one of the Austrian archbishops.
MELANCHOLY BEREANENtENT. —The Dean of Carlisle has,
we regret to learn, sustained a m;st lamentable domestic
bereavement, no less than four daughters having been
c irried off by scarlet fever within the last twenty days. The
last and eldest died on Tuesday, at the age of ten years.
THE CRIMEA,—The Times has received its corres-
pondence to Marcia 15. The conditions of the armistice
had been settled. Drafts of men continually arrived
from England. The 4th division numbered nearly 8,000
men. The English and Sardinians generally desired
the continuance of the war, while the French are glad it
is over. In another campaign the French feel that it
would be in vain for them to affect an imaginary supe-
riority over their allies. Our army augments daily,
while theirs continues to dwindle.
FIRE AT MANCHESTER.—On Thursday night, about 11
o'clock, a policeman perceived a fire in the sixth story

a place of safety, with some of the goods that were in the
lower rooms. At present the extent of the injury done
is not known, nor can it be said how the fire originated.
The Paris correspondent of Friday's Times states, that
the difficulty respecting Prussia and others, which existed
a few days ago, having been removed other difficulties
arose at the meeting of the congress yesterday, not, of
cour'e, he says, insurmountable, but sufficient to retard
the definitive settlement. It was reported that the corn-
pletion.of the treaty would be delayed till Monday, or
even.the middle of next week. Orders have been sent
to continue the suspension of hostilities.
