FORGERS IN RUSSIA.

An extensive capture of forgers has been made in
Russia. In August last a large number of forged five
rouble notes were thrown into circulation, and the police
lighting upon tracks of the forgers, followed them to all
parts of the country. Each day they discovered fresh
accomplices. The organisation of the band extended
throughout the whole empire, with the exception of
Moscow, where there was a separate body. They were
divided into two sections, one of which put the false
notes into circulation, whilst the other superintended the
employment of 10 per cent., which was set aside for the
liberation of members who might be arrested. On the
19th of January the police succeeded in getting together
in Odessa the principal culprits by pretending to treat for
the purchase of a large quantity of notes. The leader of
the gang, the cashier, and others, were arrested. The
next day two others of the forgers were taken into cus-
tody, one at Nikolagew and the other at Kursk.

IRE RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN BELGIUM.
A correspondent furnishes some particulars of the dread.
ful catastrophe which has just taken place at Dommel-
dange in Belgium. A passenger train, which had left
Luxembourg on Saturday last, at half-pa3t eight in the
evening, and going to Mersch, Ettelbruek, &c., wes
stopping at the Dommeldange station, and its locomotiVe
working. The signals announcing that the way was free,
a goods train, consisting of 40 waggons of 10 tons each
conveying minerals,lefl Luxemburg, coming from Esch-on-
the-Alzette, It had scarcely arrived on the inclined
plane, when the breaks broke at once ; then the velocity
became prodigious, and a misfortune seemed inevitable.
They perceived the danger from the Dommeldange
station ; the employes opened the doors of the passenger
train, crying, Satire qui peut / At the same moment
the goods' train came on swift as lightning,
and crossed over the passenger train in its whole
length. The latter train was smashed in pieces, and
many people standing on the station's quay were
wounded by the debris. It is impossible to describe
the horror of that dreadful scene. During the whole
night workmen were busy at setting free the way.
Thirteen corpses, mutilated, most of them affording
no sign of recognition, were brought on the
platform. All the persons unable to jump out
of the train were killed, with the exception of M. Gervais
and his wife. M. Gervais, burgomaster of Merch, mem-
ber of the Chamber of Representatives, and brother
to the Minister of State of Luxembourg, is seriously
wouWded his wife was also severely hurt near
the right eye. And a most extraordinary thing
the only vestige which remained of the carriage occupied
by them, was only the copper-plate, on which was
written "First class." The wounded are numerous. The
mechanician of the goods' train and the fireman jumped
from it before the collision. The station master of Dom-
meldange the inspector of the Luxembourg line, the
mechanician, and the break-man of the goods' train, have
been arrested. Most of the victims were poor miners
returning home with their weekly salary,

A telegram from Berlin states that the Emperor
of Russia will arrive there on Friday next, and leave on
Saturday morning for Ems.
The bookbinder, Wittman, of Wollin (Pomerania),
who had been condemned to death, has been pardoned.
He had poisoned six wives with whom he had successively
married.

THE GREEK MURDERS.
The Vienna correspotdent of the Eastern Budget saYs'
writing on the 7th inst. :—" According to the accotulb:
which have reached me from Athens, the French •A-°
sador there has officially notified to the Greek Governtule
that France will in future hold it responsible for If
security of every Frenchman who may travel in the collyel
after receiving an official assurance that the roads by Y's
he intends to proceed are safe. Such an assurance 1, be.
to be required in the case of Frenchmen travellinr,m4
tween Athens and the Piraeus, as there are French 81",;t

of the road between the capital and the sea. 05
is reported at Vienna that an exchanae of notes rg,
taken place between London, Paris aneSt. Peters 11 d
on the Greek affair. The British Government, Pik
the report, is disposed to enter on a very eneliece,
policy in the matter, but Russia, supported by Fr abet
warmly opposes Lord Clarendon's views, and urge it
is
diplomatic representations would be sufficient. Russia
added that Austria strives to detach France from of a
in this controversy, as she regards the maintenanued
cordial understanding between France and EugLiariance
Eastern affairs as the best guarantee for the main
of the status quo.

THE PLEBISCITE.
Now that the first excitement of the Plebiscite is
ac°Cteer;
people are busying themselves in analysing the charge
of the votes. The course taken by the army is of
