—Extract from Tho Sun, 23d August, 185 G.

Now Europe is quiet,
We'll have no more riot,
Let all be at Peace ! or beware of a rap ;
Blow soft every breze—
Not a cough or a sneeze—
For Eagenie's Baby is getting hii nap.
2.
You, Bear, cease your growling !
Around his cot prowling ;
Grim Bayles of G rmany, silence your scream !
Irene& Bantam, stop cro ging—
And BULL, your loud lowing—
ARCEI•ANGEL OP EMPIRE, come, whisp3r his dream.

There's Governess Beata',
Will soon shy her shoe at
The first that disturbs the s.veet Infant's repose;
A tram to War's jangling !
We'll have no more mangling,
But pass a flat iron o'er his dear baby-clelle,..
4.
And—if, silence keeping,
We worship him sleeping,
The light of his waking will surely surprise ;
You might think 'twas the sun--
But there you'd be done !
For iti3 EUGENIE'II BABY that opens his eyes.

The specie brought yesterday by the West Indian and
American steamers amounts to 730,0001., of which
220,000/. is gold, and the remainder silver, principally in
dollars. The gold will all go to the continent.
The overland mail of the 3d inst. is expected to take
out nearly 800,0001., principally silver for China.
FURNESS RAILWAY.—At the half-yearly meeting of
this company, held on the 27th ult., a dividend at the
rate of 8 per cent, per annum was declared. Out of the
balance standing at the revenue account the sum of
2,0001. was set aside as a fund for reconstructing in
masonry a part of Barrow Piers ; and the sum of 1,0001.
for renewal of the permanent way. The gross receipts on
the revenue account exceed by the sum of 7,5001. those
of the corresponding period of last year, and, notwith-
standing that this is the case, the working expenses show
a reduction of 5001. The sum remaining in hand, after
previding for the dividend, and added to the balance
carried over last half-year, will be upwards of 2,5001.
SUICIDE BY LEAPING DOWN A COAL MINE --Mary
Kellett, a girl 13 years of age, daughter of Daniel Kel-
lett, labourer, Wike, destroyed herself on Wednesday
under the most painful circumstances. She had no
mother, and when her father came' home to his dinner
be detected her in a falsehood, for which he thrashed her
with a leathern strap. This chastisement had such an
effect upon her, that directly her father had left her she
threw herself into a coalpit 64 yards deep. An inquest
was held upon the mangled body on Thursday. Verdict,

MONSTER BLAST AT PENDERYN LIMESTONE QUARRIES.
—Some two years since a monster blast was fired at the
quarry of Wm. Crawshay, Esq., the powder chamber
containing 21 tons of powder, with the intention of
opening the deep side of the quarry, and in the presence
of many spectators, a great fall was produced. Many
falls since have taken place, of 3,000 and 4,000 tons
each, but the crowning fill was (as predicted from the
day of the first blast) to come, and on Wednesday it
came with good effect and profit to the owner. The old
chamber, which bad much broken and riven the bottom
beds of the superincumbent strata, 147 feet high, was
cleared out to a length of 10 yards, and the small quan-
tity of 10 cwt. of powder exploded. The match was
fired, and in eleven minutes from the time, the bottom
of the quarry, a mass 10 feet thick, for 20 yards square.
was literally ejected, and the superincumbent mass of
120 feet high came rolling down like a flood, and filling
the quarry with its torrent of stone to the amount of
12,000 tons certain—many compute it at 15,000 ton.,
but the more cautious say 12,000 tons. The fall at
present is untouched, and will remain so for a time, as
new roads are required to be put in to clear the mass.
There were atones from 150 to 250 tone each thrown

LATEST E WS.

A despatch from Naples says that efforts on the
part of France and England to induce his Sicilian
Majesty to reconsider his reply to the joint notes
of her Majesty's Government and that of the Em-
peror have entirely failed.

The Times' Paris correspondent (second edi-
tion) in a letter dated Monday, 6 p.m., says :
" The belief gains ground here that the French
and English Governments entertain widely different
views with respect to what is passing in Spain. It
has not, that I know of, been asserted that this
difference has led to communications between the
two Cabinets, or that it has in the least set them at
variance, but that it soon may do so seems to be
anticipated in certain quarters. The belief, which
took its rise in the supposed opposite sympathies
of the Governments, has gained strength in con-
sequence of correspondence in foreign journals—
especially in those of Belgium—and, still more,
by reason of the widely dissimilar tone adopted
by the press of London and by that of Paris in
their discussion and appreciation of the Spanish
crisis. It has been further rumoured to-day that
there is an intention of sending a squadron to
the Bay of Naples."

FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
The Fatrie says that the Russian Government
wishes to submit the question of the Serpent's
Island occupation to the interpretation of the
Great Powers.

The latest advices received here from Spain state
that the Government still hesitates about one or
two important decrees which are expected to ap-
pear. "O'Donnell wishes to avoid responsibilities,"
says a letter, " Which the Queen wishes to impose
on him."
The military throughout the country have orders
to act on the slightest signs of revolt. The Car-
lists are very active.
The Constitutionnel gives the following explana-
tion of the sentences of death against five indiyi.
duals accused of an attempt on the life of the Em-
peror, the po-ting of which at the Mairies has pro-
duced a very great sensation in Paris :
" Conformably tQ Art. 472 of the code of Criminal In-
struction, the judgment by default against the individu-
als condemned for the affair known as that of the Hip-
podrome and Opera Comique, has just been placarded.
This affair, it is known, dates as far back as 1853. Ma-
levolence has not failed to take advantage of this
publication to circulate the report that capital punish-
ments has just been awarded for attempts upon the
person of the Emperor. It might have been seen, how-
ever, from the terms of the announcement, that the
judgments were by default (par contumace), and conse -
quently related to old facts."

The " malevolence" of which the Constitutionnel
speaks must have been manifested by word of
mouth only, for no Paris newspaper has ventured
to speak of the matter, and the foreign journals
which mention it had not arrived when the above
paragraph was written. The explanation is not alto-
gether satisfactory, for it is certain that the " law's
delay" does not usually require two or three years
to prepare a judgment by default.
