A letter from Colmar says—" An event of great
gravity has just happened, tending to still more
complicite the affair of the Camptoir-Com,nercia►
of the Haut-Rhin and of the Palais d'&uteuil, con-
nected with it. M, Jean Feiner, considered a ve;y7
wealthy man, has been arrested and confined in the
prison of this place. The examining magistrate and
M. Schlumberger, substitute of the Procureur Im-
perial, soon after left the town for Gunsbach, for
the purpose of there seelT.lng for the confirmation of
certain charges which have been brought against
that opulent manufacturer."

A fire broke out three days back in the village of
Contrevoz (Ain) which burnt with such violence
that before it could be got under, 41 inhabited
houses, 38 stab!es, 32 barns, and a number of other
buildings with ad they contained were destroyed.
The greater part of the houses being thatched, the
flamez spread with frightful rapidity. This disaster
was caused by the imprudence of a mountebank
Who sent up a balloon with lighted spirits of wine,
which fell oh one of the roofs. He has since taken
to flight, but is closely sought for in order that he
may be punished. Forty-nine families, composed
of 162 persons, have been reduced to misery by this
calamity. The Emperor on hearing of the disaster
sent 1,000 fr. for the relief of the sufferers.

The Austrian Embassy at Paris has sent the fol-
lowing communication to the journals:—" The
Morning Post, returning to the subject of a pre-
tended correspondence exchanged between the Ca-
binets of Vienna, Berlin, and St. Petersburg, speaks
of a private letter which Count de Rechberg is said
to have addressed, on the 7th Feb. last; to Prince de
Metternich, on the subject of the rights which the
conquest of Schleswig would confer on the Germa❑
Powers, and of the' policy which they intended to
fellow in face of the attitude assumed by the non-
German Governments. The Austrian Embassy is
able to give a formal contradiczion to the assertions
of the English paper. The letter which it makes
known to the public has never existed."

A sharp Yankee went into the shop of a dry
goods dealer down East, and thus accosted the pro-
prietor :—" Squire, do you trade ?" " Considerable," was
the reply. " I mean do you dicker F" " Some; whatye
get tar dicker "A egg." " Whatye want for a egg ?"
"Guess I'd like a darnin' needle." The required needle
was dickered for the egg, and the Yankee was going away,
when he turned and said, " Squire do you treat ?" " Well,
I don't mind if I do," replied the good-natured tradesman.
They repaired to en adjacent tavern, and the usual Bour-
bon was produced. " Hold on," cried the Yankee; "my
chist'a weak, and I never could take whisky without a egg
in it." Tho generous shopkeeper handed him the dickered
egg, but without asking for his needle back again. The
Yankee broke the shell on the edge of the glass, when he
exclaimed " Geevvilikins I this egg's got two yolks. Guess
you must gin me another darnin needle, equiro."—Zrew

THE LATE OUTRAGE ET BRICE.MAKERS.—:-Al. the
Salford Town Hall, yesterday, Patrick Callen, of
Openshavr, labourer, was charged with being concerned in
the late outrage at the briekcroft of Mr A. Ashworth,
Regent-road. Police-constable Keogh said he took the
defendant into custody in consequence of information
which ho had obtained.—A briekmaker, named Briscoe,
said—About twelve o'clock on the night of the 24th of
June, he, with several other brichreak,rs went to Mr
Ashworth's croft to pass the night. He had been in the
habit of sleeping at the place. .A. short time after ho had
arrived, ho saw several men go towards the croft, with
some instrument in their hands, and commence destroying
a number of the bricks. Hu recognised the prisoner. In
cross-examination the witness said that, although he had
seen the placard offering a reward of £lOO for the apprehen-
sion of the guilty parties, he did not inform the police, be-
cause ho was afraid of getting into trouble. Mr Ashworth
said he visited the croft on the morning of the 25th of June,
when he found that about 70,000 bricks had been destroyed.
The damage amounted to LC3O. The last witness had been
in the habit of sleeping in the croft. The prisoner was
rem=ded to Uon‘lay, wail beil;g refused,
