The Times of yesterday acknowledges the receipt of the
following information dated Paris, Saturday night. " The
official evening papers contain the following :—' The insur-
rection broke out with success on the 11th inst. at Valencia,
on the 12th and 13th at Barcelona, and on the 15th at Tar-
ragona. In the two first of these cities the troops joined the
people. General Valdez, Villalonga, and Legal, and the
wife of General Zurbano embarked on board the English brig
Savage, which left the port to convey them to Port Vendres,
where they arrived this morning. [This last fact must have
arrived by telegraph this day.] Zurbano has quitted Barce-
lona and merched for Saragossa at the head of 14 batal-
lions.
" • These results do not appear decisive against Espartero.
Ile and everybody knew that dissatisfaction prevailed in Ca-
talonia. It remains to be seen whether assurances given by
his friends that his existence did not depend upon the state
of feeling in that province or in Valencia, or Granada, or
Malaga are correct or otherwise. I shall continue my ex-
tracts from the official papers,'
" The Imparcial of Barcelona of the 10th contains the
following Yesterday at St. Andre de Palomar, immedi-
ately after the pronunciamento, a banquet was given to the
troops ; the feast was concluded by a magnificent ball, atten-
ded by the young ladies of the city in their gayest dresses.
The tall of the Ayacuchos is hailed even by the fair sex,
A proclamation has been issued by the supreme junta to
the army.

The total amount of the subscriptions paid into the Gua-
deloupe Central Relief Committee up to the 13th instant
was £2,786,364.

it is said that, in a few days, the French post-office will
dispatch letters twice a-day by the Rouen railroad, viz., at
seven in the morning, and one in the afternoon.
MOFUSSIL RATN.-A strange yellow liquid has rained
lately at Futtlehpore, Sicree. The matter adhered to the
fingers when touched, and dyed the ground where it fell.—
Indian Journal.
A republican journal has appeared at Barcelona. Under
the title is a wood-cut representing a Catalonian striking a
knife into a general officer. The word justice is written be-
neath.
The Journal de Frankfort states, from Vienna. that the
steam-boat Vienna, which plied between that city and Pres-
burg, had run on a bank, and been sunk. Several of the
passengers were drowned, and a large quantity of merchan-
dise was lost.

Some opinion may be formed of the commerce of the
American lakes by the following statement :—One day this
month there arrived at Buffalo 58 steam-boats and other
vessels, all full freighted, The principal articles comprising
their cargoes were 27,053 barrels of flour, 60,720 bushels of
wheat, 2,268 barrels of ashes, 2,291 kegs of lard, 4,471 brls.
of pork, 595 brie. of beef, 765 brls. and keza uf batter, be-
sides a variety of other agricultural products,

A BONNE•BOUCHE FOR TILE MI,MERISERS.—The Jour-
nal de V illefranche contains the following :—'"Fhe town of
Thixy bas been thrown into astonishment by the following
phenomenon :—A boy of twelve years of age, afflicted with
catalepsy, astounds all who are present, at each period of the
attacks, with the correctness of his replies to questions that
are put to him as to what is passing out of the room in which
he is interrogated. He announces also the precise period of
the return of his attacks. All the physicians, ecclesiastics,
and scientific persons of Thizy, flock to witne,s this phe-
nomenon. Catalepsy, which is only natural magnetism,
would be thus the precursor of magnetism rendered perfec,
by science."
The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser last received gives the
following
fearful paragraph :—Gosm OVER THE FALLS.—
We learn that on Friday last a man went over the cataract,
on the Canadian side of the Niagara. Ile was driving a pair
of horses and had backed into the river to get a load of sand
somewhere nearly opposite Navy Island, when the current
bore otf the waggon and horses beyond the control of the
driver towards the rapids. A person who witnessed the pet i-
lone situation made off in a canoe to intercept them, but get-
ting alarmed for his Own safety had to change his course and
return again, One of the horses extricated himself from the
waggon, and swam in safety to the shore, while his mate and
the driver were seen to pitch from one shoot to the other,
until they both plunged into the abyss below.
A deplorable accident took placa on Sunday morning in
the Cathedral of Amiens. Seven men wore employed 50 feet
from the ground in placing a sort of screen c,ver one of the
side entrances, to protect the persons engaged on some works
of sculpture, when the cornice on which one end of the scaf-
folding rested gave way, and six of the men were precipitated
to the ground. One man in falling caught at a projecting
piece of work, which broke his fall, so that he escaped nearly
without injury. Five others came to the ground with great
violence ; one of them was killed on the spot, three of them
were despaired of, and the fifth, who fell on his feet, is suffer-
in., very acutely from the greatness of the shock. The man
who remained above was saved by being at the other end of
the scaffolding at the time it gave way, and had time to step
on a neighbouring joist.

Pitussf.A.N COMNIERCE.—BIILLiti, JUNE S.—There is e;-
traordinary activity this year in our ports on the Baltic, and
though so little is wanted by Great Britain, in consequence
of the abundant harvest which it had last year, the corn
trade of Dantzic, and still more that of Konigsberg, is more
flourishing than it ever was before. More than 700 ships
have left Konigsberg with cargoes up to the end of May,
whereas in general not above 500 leave that port in the whole
year. These ships were chiefly laden with rye, which they
took to Stettin, Lubec, Bremen, and Holland. The failure
of the crops in a great part of Germany has fully indemnified
the Baltic provinces for what they have lost by the diminished
exportation to England. The greater part of the corn is sent
from Stettin to Berlin, whence large quantities are forwarded
by the Anhalt iron railway to Saxony, which is in need of a
considerable supply. The sending up cargos to Holland is
a new speculation : they are to be sent up the Rhine to sup-
ply the Rhenish provinces. The price of rye is rising, so
that it is nearly equal to that of wheat.—putej, paper.
