PA SI'S PREDICAMENT.

The 'cute Bottleholder and Letter-withholder
Perused the Despatches of CANNING ;
With quite as much honour the letters of Connor
Were conned by the late Mrs. MANNING.
The difference is this, between them and the wh—,
Who swung from the Old Bliley rafter,
That she cut the throat of her victim before,
While they cut their own throttles after.

THE AUSTRALIAN SHIP RED
JACKET.

(BY ELECTRIC TELBGRAPEL)

LIVERPOOL, TEIIIRSDAY MORNING.

It is reported in the Underwriters' Room that
the Red Jacket is on fire. Three days since, a
fire having been discovered among the wool, a
portion of it was taken out and the hatches
battened down, but the smelt caused apprehension.
She is now at anchor in the Mersey, and her gold
is being got out.

TRIESTE, MAY 18.

Rivato 13ttera from Ragusa announce that the
mjority of the Montenegrins returned to their
homes after dividing their booty. One band,
commanded by Vakulowitz, and assisted by the
inhabitants of arahovo and the neighbourhood,
pillaged and burnt several Turkish villages and
blockaded Kloback. It is positively stated that
Hussein Pacha has in his possession an original
declaration of the agent.of Danilo, which leads to
the belief that the attack of the Montenegrins on
the 13th was made during a suspension of arms
agreed upon, and when the Turks were retiring
from Grabovo on Klobuck.

BERLIN, MAY 19.

According to the Zeit, the Porte has shown

FRANCE.
PARIS, WEDNESDAY.
The return of Count Migeon for the department
of the Hut Rhin is confirmed.

The .ivLniteur says that the Municipal Council
of Paris has decide 1 that a medal commemorative
of the birth of the Prince Imperial shall be given as
a prize at the.various public schools. " This gift,"
says the Government journal, " has been every-
where received with the liveliest gratitude.
The principal objt.ct of the mission of M. Mako-
vich, adjatant to Prince Danilo, to Vienna is to
endeavour to induce the Austrian Cabinet to
accept the Anglo-French proposition of having
the conflict betwem the Porte and Montenegro
arranged by the great powers. It was
believed in Vienna that the Austrian Ca-
binet would not oppose the project provided
it obt lined the support of the Porte. It is also said
that M. Makovich is to endeavour to obtain per-
mission for the Archinintrdrite Nicanov to proceed
to St Petersburg to be consecrated bishop. Nica-
nor was architnandrite at Zira • he is an Austrian
subject, and the Governor of Dalmatia refuses him
his passport, and requires him to be consecrated by
the Patriarch of Carlowitz, in Croatia, where pre•
vious Vladicas of Montenegro underwent that
ceremony.
The success of M. Migeon, who never dreamed
that he was a man of so much importance, is felt in
every official quarter as vexatious and humiliating
in the extreme. No Paris paper has ventured to
allude to it ; and the Illonitetcr it elf passes it over
in complete silence. The thing is unprecedented
since the establishment of the Empire. Hera is a
man of no political weight or influence whatever,
prosecute 1 by the Government on various charges,
foaled guilty only on one, viz., the unauthorised
wearing of a decoration, which was an act of puerile
vanity rather than a moral offence, just vtleased
from prison, foelha-dy enough to start as candidate
with the whole of the formidable machinery of the
G.tverntnent arrayed against him ; Marshal Can-
robert stepping into the field and summoning the
elect.)rs of the district comprise I in his command to
vote for Isis opponent ; the Prefect issuing his ukase
63t, him, thJ sob prefects and mayors cajaling
or k4timidating ; and, greatest of all, the military
Mini-star of the Interior dictating his will to the
deptrtment, and, rather in lec,erously it must Le
said, in troditc:ng the name of the Sovereign himself;
not io speak of the clergy, whom the Univers and
the Bsh)p of Strasburg ell' upon to j th-3
goo-1 cto e;—yet M. Migeoa d3fle3, and beats them
all. This result is more serious than it the whole
of the Deputies elected for Paris belonged to the
Meuntain.

It is now said that M. Mignon means to resign in
faour of a gentleman named Gros, a rich manufac-
turer, of the same department. If this be the case,
an:l that M. Migeou be satisfied with his victory
without taking his seat, the Government will pro-
bably start the first equerry or orderly officer they
ran conveniently lay hands on against M. Gros,
