THE EVACUATION OF SAN DOMINGO BY SPAIN.—
Advices received at Madrid from San Domingo to
the Bth ult. give the following as the terms of the conven-
tion concluded between the Spanish and Dominican gene-
rals prior to the evacuation of the island by the Spanish
troops:—" 1. The Dominican Government recognises that
it is solely to an act of magnanimity on the part of the
Spanish people that they will owe the independence they
are about to enjoy. 2. The Dominicans who, faithful to
Spain, may wish to remain in San Domingo, will live
under the protection of the laws, their persons and inte-
rests being respected, and those who may leave the country
will have the option of returning thereto when they wish,
and will enjoy the same advantages during their absence.

3. The Government of the Republic will pay to Spain an
indemnity for the expenses of tho war, the amount of which
will be subsequently determined by treaty. 4. The Domi-
nican Government solemnly engages not to alienate all or
any of their territory without the consent and authorisation

of Spain. 5. Upon the abandonment of the island by Spain,
the sick of the Spanish army now in hospital will remain
until their restoration to health, being tended and assisted
with care ; their expenses to be paid by an officer of the
Spanish Military Administration, who will remain on the
island for that purpose."
During the last few days there has been a mode-

rate amount of business transacted in the Foreign
and Colonial Produce Market. Sugars have fully
sustained former rates, while coffee, rice, and fruit
have been in moderate request at previous quota-
tions. The public sales of tea have concluded, and
prices generally have ruled in favour of buyers.
Tallow has been on moderate request at steady
rates for both present and forward delivery.
DR. PRITCHARD'S DIARY.—In one of the diaries
of Dr. Pritchard, not read in Court, but shown to
witnesses for the purpose of identifying the handwriting
is this entry :—"l7 Friday. Died hero at 1 a.m., Mary
Jane, my own beloved wife, aged 38 years—no torment
surrounded her bedside—but, like a calm peaceful lamb of
God passed Minnie away. May God and Jesus, Holy Gh.,
one in three—welcome Minnie. Prayer on prayer till
mine be o'er ; everlasting love. Save us, Lord, for thy
dear Son."

THE HAYTIAN INSURRECTION.—The royal mail
steamer Plantaganet, belonging to the West India
and Pacific Steamship Company, arrived at Liverpool on
Sunday night from Port-au-Prince, which port she left on
June 20. Salnare had fortified the town, and with his 500
or 600 followers was keeping the Haytian army in check.
The steamer Giffrond left on the 18th with heavy artillery.
Since the 14th of June the port and town of the Cape had
been declared in a state of blockade. An efficient force
was to establish an effective blockade. All the members
of the Provisional Government had disappeared, and
Salnare was the only one remaining. Business at an entire
standstill. Gold, 248 to 252. Coffee, 168 to 170.
DESPATCH OF THE BRAZILIAN MAILS.—SOITTII-
AMPTON, July 10.—The Royal Mail Company's
steamship Douro, Capt. Bevis, sailed this afternoon with
the monthly mails for Lisbon, Pernambuco, Bahia, Rio de
Janeiro, Buenos Ayres, and Montevideo. She took out
93 passengers, and on freight—Bar-silver, £B,OOO ; English
gold, £160,048 ; French coin, £4OO ; jewellery, £6,272 ;
English jewellery, £305 ; also a general cargo. Amongst
the pass.engers by the mail are—Lieut. Hon. William Hare,
R.N., Lieut. Kenedy, R.N., and his Excellency J. Z. de
Brits, for Rio de Janeiro ; Rev. W. Addision, for Pernam-
buco ; Rev. W. Powell, for Buenos Ayres ; and Sir John
Rennie, for Lisbon.

SCENE AT THE QUEEN'S THEATRE, HULL.—On
Saturday night, whilst the drama of " Jeanie Deans"
was being performed at the Queen's Theatre, Hull, a num-
ber of planks fell from the roof on to the stage during one
of the scenes, in which the well-known actress Miss Mar-
riott, and several members of the stock company were taking
part. This cireamstance gave rise to a belief that the roof
was falling in. Moreover, a cry of "Fire !" was raised in
the gallery, which served to increase the fear that had
seized the audience—a crowded one. Under the dread of
one or other alarm being well founded, the audience arose
en masse, and rushed to the doors. A fearful scene ensued
The doorways became choked up, and the attempts made to
get out were vain. Amid screaming, yelling, struggling, and
the.wildest disorder, a great part of the audience were either
knocked down, trampled upon, and severely bruised, or
frightfully crushed against the passage walls. The greatest
sufferers wore removed to a neighbouring chemist's, and
surgicai aid was soon obtained. As soon as they were able
to bo removed they were taken to their respective homes.
In the more serious cases, however, it was deemed advisable
to convey them to the infirmary. There was not the slight-
est cause for alarm; the roofing which fell in was very small
indeed. Some time elapsed ere order was completely restored.
The performance was resumed.

The Pattie says :—We learn that in consequence
of new arrangements the great international mari-

time fete in August will take place at Cherbourg, and not
at Brest. The English squadron, commanded by Rear-
Admiral Dacres, will arrive at Cherbourg on the 14th.
The admiral's flag will bo hoisted on board the steamer of
the line*Edgar. Arrangements are being made on board
this vessel to receive the Duke of Somerset, First Lord of
the Admiralty, Lord Clarence Paget, and the other lords.
The Marquis de Chasseloup-Laubat, Minister of Marine
and the Colonies, will go with the fleet to England to re-
turn the visit of the Duke of Somerset."

GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—Her Majesty's Emi-
gration Commissioners have given notice of their intention
to receive tenders on Thursday, the 13th inst., for a ship to
proceed to Adelaide, South Australia, to be ready for the
reception of passengers on such day as the Commissioners
may appoint between the 22d and 29th of August. The
ship must, subject to the usual conditions, be furnished with
Dr. Normandy's or Messrs. Winchester's fresh water dis-
tilling apparatus, and with a competent person to manage it.
She must also be ventilated on the plan of Dr. Edmunds ;
in fact, the Commissioners spare no pains to promote the
health and comfort of the numerous poor emigrants they are
constantly sending out. A highly-qualified medical man is
always appointed to act as surgical-superintendent.
'TIE PREROGATIVE OF PARDON,—The petitioners

for pardons in America meet with various luck.
Mr. F. B. Carpender, the artist, vouches for the truth of an
account he gives of the success of a young woman in ob-
taining from the late President a pardon for her only brother
a foreigner, who had enlisted and been induced by bad com-
pany to desert, was retaken, and was sentenced to be shot.
She had waited in vain for two whole days in hopes of
being admitted to the presence of the President, when she
accidentally came under the notice of a gentleman who had
It special appointment at the White House, and who, hear-
ing her story and perceiving the urgency of the case, took
her in with him. Mr. Lincoln read her petition, studied
the expression of her countenance, and then as his eye fell
upon her scanty but neat dress ho exclaimed, "My poor
girl, you have come here with no governor, or senator, or
member of Congress to plead your cause ; you seem honest
and truthful, and—you don't wear hoops and I will be
whipped but I will pardon your brother."
