unfortunately preclpltated mo the oeo
of the river from the height OF 20 feet:
The water was fortunately shallow, and
only one life was lost, though number
of persons had their bones broken, and
some others were dreadfully bruised. In
some of the accounts given OF this catas-
trophe. the writers, who are probably
ultra declaim against radical
ism, but we see nothing in the statements
that would lead us to conclude that the
contest had any other origin but that
which arose out OF the irritated feelings
of mob. driven from favourite pastime.
In Edinburgh, party of volunteers, pro.
voked by the derision of the mob, turned
round upon the persons assembled, who
were principally idle boys, and, after
chas,ising number of them with the butt
end of their muskets. took or 9 OF them
into custody, whom they conveyed in
triumph to the police office. No other
mischief was done, nor does it appear that
the tranquility of either Glasgow or Ed
inburgh, has been since disturbed.
London, AprI %.
1t was yesterday reported that the
Porte had arranged matters with Ali Pa
cha, and acceded to the demands of the
Servians, in order that it might direct
the whole of its efforts against the lnsur
rection in Moldavia and Wallachia
1t certainly appears as if there was an
intention on the part of the Holy Alliance
to turn their arms against Spain.
London, april "a.
We have received the copy ofa Ukase,
published at St Petersburgh, confirming
the official notice from the Minister Of
Finance for the augmentation of duties
on imports. 1t is as follows:
UKAsE TO THE DIRECTING SENATE.
DESTROYS of affording further encour
agement to the industry of our faithful
subjects engaged in the manufacture Of
cotton and silk goods, and also of encour
aging the cultivation of vineyards in the
southern provinces Of the empire, and the
preparation of various sorts of liquors
from grapes and various sorts of fruits,
we have thought proper to augment the
interior or consumption duty on foreign
articles of these descriptions. We add to
the above, a moderate increase of the oon-
sumption duty on coffee and sugar, and
order that the interior orconsumption du-
ty on the said articles, be levied at the
customary houses, according to the ac-
companying register duly confirmed by
us.

Another document in regard to Poland
is as follows:
IMPERIAL UKAsE.
For the encouragement of trade at the
fairs at Warsaw it was enacted by our
Ukase, dated Sd October, 1920, deduc-
tion of 10 per cent should be made from
the duties paid at the Custom-house at
Warsaw on all foreign articles transport
ed from the above fairs into the empire
of Russia.
Having, by car Ukase of this day, rails
ed the interior or consumption duty on
several foreign articles specified in the &C
companying schedule, we order, that, in
stead of 10 per cent. reduction of 90 per
cent shall be made from those articles at
the Custom-house at Warsaw, when tran
sported from the above fairs into the En-
pire of Russia.
lSigned) ALEXANDER.

1t appear certain that Corps of OBJ
of about 10000, is to be sent to
the frontiers of Wallachia The regiments
in garrison in Gallicia are marching in
that direction. Every thing announces
that our whole army is about to be put on
the war footing, and tina. the Landwehr
will be charged with the interior service.
These extraordinary measures lead to the
that after the occupation Of
Piedmont I" there will still be another en-
terprise for the establishment of the
of Europe" 1t is, they say,
from Laybach that the news on which
these conjectures were founded are de-

Odessa, Narch IS.
"Captain Nicolo Cocoli arrived here
Yesterday after voyage of 20 hours, from
Constantinople, bearing the Russian fag)
and gives the following account of the
state of things there:
"The events in Moldavia and Wallachia
we're as well known to the people and the
Turkish government, as the arming of the
Greeks. The confusion was very great.
The house of the ambassadors, especially
Of the Russian, were filled with fugitives.
Prince Callimachi had already been a
victim. Orders were given for the Turk
ish feet to be ready to sail by the 2lst of
April, but this seemed impossible, as sail
ors were wanting. An embargo was laid
