FOREIGN INT ViLLIG ENCE

FRANCE.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, THURSDA. EVENING.
Up to about an hour ago the government had
not, I am informed, received any additional news
from Sicily; neither does the Marseilles telegraph
announce any arrival from Naples. According to
some persons the lack of news indicates that the
insurrection is spreading, but this, of course, is a
mere guess.—The Nord.
The Russian journal of Brussels says that France
and England are in accord as to the manner in
which they will act with respect to the Two Sicilies ;
and it says that it is not improbable that the
French squadron may soon be ordered to leave
Toulon to join the English fleet in the waters of
Naples.
The Consticutionnel gives a semi-effiAal article
this morning, announcing the approaching meeting
of the Congress. It says that the Congress will
not have to revise the treaty of peace, but simply
to fix the sense of some points which appear doubt-
ful. It intimates, however, that all difficulties are
not yet solved, and that each power maintains its
peculiar views on the points under discussion ; but
nevertheless it doubts not, it adds, that mutual
concessions,_ or at all events a vote, of the majority,
will lead to a settlement. The plain English of all
this will probably turn out to be that the powers
or the majority of them will decide as Sngland and
Austria wish, but that they will deliberate pro
.forina in order not to humiliate Russia.
It is the second plenipotentiaries—that is, the
ambassadors residing in Paris—who will form the
Congress. Consequently,Lord Cowley will represent
England. I hear fears expressed that he is hardly
up to the mark of dealing with the able diplomatists
who will be pitted against him ; but it is to be
hoped that he will have instructions not to enter
into palaver, but to go straight to the point at once.
The date of the meeting of the Congress is not
fixed, but it is expected that it will be in the second
fortnight of December ; at all events. in time to
allow the result to be announced in the Queen's
speech on the opening of parliament. The present
intention, I am told, is to confine the deliberations
of the Congress to eastern affairs, but it is not im-
probable that the Neufchatel and some other affairs
may be dealt with. Although the Congress is to
be composed, as I have said, of the ambassadors
residing here with, of course, Count de Walewski,
minister of foreign affairs), doubts are expressed
whether the Turkish ambassador, who is a very
young man, will be admitted. l.n case he should
not, it will be necessary for the Porte to send a
plenipotentiary to Paris, and this will occasion
delay.
Extensive changes, I hear, are about to be made
amongst the sub prefects. •
The young Prince of Prussia is expected in a few
days at Paris, and is to take up his residence at
the Tuileries.

It is reported in high political circles ,that a
change of ministry in Prussia is imminent.
M. Ponsard, the dramatic poet, was this day re-
ceived a member of the French Academy, and he
delivered a speech in which he disparaged Shak-
spere and extolled Racine. M. Nisard replied
to him.
Constantinople letters to the 24th ultimo have
reached Marseilles to-day. They confirm two
pieces of information which I was able to announce
to you (exclusively) a few days ago—namely, that
tidings of the fall of Herat had reached Constanti-
nople, and that the French ambassador had given
a grand dinner to Ferouk Khan. the Persian envoy.

THE WEATHER.—THAW.—Contrary to expectation and
appearances, a thaw set in on Thursday night, and conti-
nued yesterday morning, and for a couple of hours about
midday, heavy rain, that took away the remnant of frost,
fell. The remainder of the evening was fair, and the
atmosphere warm. "We "—otherwise people—say we are
not yet done with frost and snow.
AMERICAN MAILS.—The royal mail steamer Africa sails
this day for Halifax and Boston, with the Canadian and
United States mails. The letter box at the general post
office will be open for letters, &c., in the usual course up to
twelve, and with late fees up to one o'clock. The box at
the stage will be open up to two, with late fees of Is. on
letters. The passengers for the Africa wia go on board, by
the tender, from the stage, at one o'clock.
THE SALEM —DESPATCH IN LOADING.—The Salem, of
Messrs. Livingston and Walthew's line of Liverpool and
Australian packet ships, has again proved herself a first
class vessel, having made the round voyage to Melbourne,
thence to Bombay, and home in nine months, twenty four
days' detention included. She brought from Bombay a
cargo consisting of 4,122 bales of cotton, 1,449 bags of
seed, 600 do Colombo root, 63 cases of tallow, and 10 cases
of sheep skins, all of which were unloaded in the Prince's
dock in the almost unprecedentedly short space of eighteen
working hours, by Messrs. John and James Mullen, master
stevedores.
FUNERAL OF RICHARD VAUGHAN YATES, ESQ.—The
earthly remains of this lamented gentleman were, yesterday
morning, consigned to their last resting place, in Aigburth
church yard. The funeral was private; the only persons
present, among whom were Mr. J. C. Ewart, M P , and Mr
Thornley, M P., being the relatives and intimate friends of
the deceased gentleman, who, before his death, evinced a
wish that it should be so, and also that no carriages should
attend it. Before the melancholy ceremony was concluded.
the Rev. Mr. Roberts delivered a very feeling address appro-
priate to the solemn occasion.
GENERAL TOM THUMB.—The Lilliputian Envoy, from
the United States, is expected to arrive about the 20th, in
the Persia, and is preceded by his agent, Mr. C. L. West.
The General will be accompanied by his mother and other
members of the family, it being his intention to make a
tour of the Continent, prior to retirement to private life
The idea can be scarcely tolerated, that this " man in
miniature" has not changed in size during his absence from
us, which embraces a period of about ten years ' • his mind
is materially improved, his talents more fully developed,
and that fund of wit and anecdote which characterised him
as the most attractive of the diminutive, has increased to
great advantage. It is predicted that his tour of the Con-
tinent will be equally as, if not more successful, than that of

former years.
VTDAT A VINDICTIVE PERSON CAN DO.—A WARNING—
Yesterday, Mr. V. Denham,Lime.kiln-lane, was summoned,
at the instigation of_the Commissioners of Inland Revenue,
before Messrs. Aiken and Lawrence, at the Police-court, for
having received the sum of a without having pieced a
penny receipt stamp on the same: The defendant admitted
that he had received the amount of a John Smith, flour
dealer, and had not given a stamp, but alleged that he had
done so in utter ignorance of the law. The fact was he
went with the expectation of receiving the whole of the
amount due £l3, but received only a part, and he did not
think that he was required to give a receipt until the whole
amount was paid. The magistrates said they had no doubt
but that the information had been gived to the commis-
sioners through some vindictive motives, but that did not
alter the law, and they hoped that this case would act as a
warning to others. They inflicted the mitigated penalty of
£5 and costs. This is only the second case of the kind that
has been heard in Liverpool since the passing of the act.
ANOTHER GREAT FRAUD BY A RAILWAY CLERK.—lnfor-
mation has been received of another extensive defalcation
by a railway official. The individual who has now ab-
sconded is Mr. John Johnson, in the employment of the
East Lancashire Railway Company at Ormskirk. It seems
the disclosures of the frauds on the Great Northern Railway
and Crystal Palace Companies have caused a close investi-
, gation into the accounts of most of the public companies,
and amongst the others, the East Lancashire Railway
Company, which resulted in the discovery that Mr. Johnson,
bad embezzled the monies of the company to a very large
amount: On the discovery the delinquent was apprehended,
but contriving to get admitted to bail, to appear before the
magistrates, he immediately absconded, and is at present at
large, it iasupposed trying to get out of the country. The
precise amount of the defalcations is not known. They are
supposed, however, to amount to some thousands. A full
description of the delinquent has been forwarded to the
outports, and a large reward offered for his apprehension.
The renowned Howard Family, who have been delighting
the citizens of the United States with their impersonations
of the principal characters in Mrs. Stowe's "uncle Tom's
Cabin," " Dred", and other American plays dramatised
especially for them, arrived in the Baltic on Friday, accom-
panied by the depressed millionaire, P. T. Barnum, Esq.,
under who=e auspces they will appear while in this
country. To wish the renowned apd worthy manger every
success that his enterprise deserves, would be doing no less
than an act of justice; and when we consider the fact that
the Howard Family possesses attractions of no ordinary
nature, and that for ability and truthfulness in the repre-
sentation of their different parts, they stand unrivalled,
particularly Little Cordelia as Eva, Ida May Hot Gore
,
Girl and Mrs. Howard as the greatest of ail Topsies we
feel certain that the generous welcome to which they are
entitled will undoubtedly be given. As for Barnum, it is
, universally acknowledged that he has done more good as a
caterer to public taste,, than any other manager in the
I United States. Let them be heartily welcomed,
