Pans papers to the 4h and Havre papers to the 9Th,
ult. have been received at New York. We condense
a few items from the Journal of Commerce:
The Publications of Paris are now completely fin
lshed. The fosses and ramparts are being sowed with
grass seed. Six years have been spent in this gigan-
tic work.
Marshal Bugeaud, is said at last to have lost favor
at court, owing to the bad results Of the Algerine
war. The rumor is revived of the Due d'Aumale
going ont to Algeria with the title of Viceloy.
The ParIs market was easier and more animated on
the 4th ult. An important reduction in the duty on
salt destined for agricultural uses, has been made in
the French tariff.
A catastrophe, almost as extensive as that which
occurred a few years since on the Versailles Railway.
happened recently on the railway between ST. Etienne
and Lyons.
The locomotive attached to the noon train from St.
Etlenne having given out, two dispatches were sent
for assistance, one to Lyons, the other to Giyors. A
locomotive arriving first from Givors, the train pro-
ceeded, and soon came into collision with the engine
from Lyons, both being under full headway. The
conclusion was tremendous. Both the locomotives
and six cars were shattered to pieces. Eight persons,
of whom two were women, were killed on the spot
thirty were wounded-ten of them dangerously.
The advices from Madrid are of the 25th of Feb
ruary. 1t is said that there has been a rupture in the
negotiation for the marriage of Count de Trapani 10
the Queen Of Spain.
The news from Poland is calculated to produce the
must pdlOlul emOUODS. Inc lnSurreCtlOn ALREADY
mentioned In our columns, appears to embrace all
Prussian Poland, the territory of Cracow, and a part
of Russian Poland but from the fact that three pow
ers arc equally interested in crushing the movement,
we can scarcely hope for any other result than the
multiplication of martyrs in the cause of liberty.
FRONTIERS OF RUSSIA, Feb. 16.-It was rumored
that a revolt had broken out in the Provinces of Lithu-
ania. Podalia and Vollynia. and that blood had been
shed. The Catholic clergy had put itself at the head
of the population, and preached a crusade against
their Russian oppreSsors, in the name ofthe Catholics
and of Polish nationality. The ferment extended to
the frontiers of Moldavia, and TO Kaminieck Podolski.
Little Russia, whose population are hostile to the
Muscovites, properly so called, and which has been
deprived by the Gar of all its privileges, and even of
its name, has revolted. The inhabitants have declar-
ed that they will not furnish recruits for the army of
the Caucasus.
An epidemic was prevailing among the horned
cattle in the Southern provinces of Russia. In Bes-
sarbia alone, 10000 had died.
A terrible confagration broke out in Philioppolis,
on the Western confines of Rumilia, Turkey, ON the
10Th February, which consumed $500 houses.
CURIOUS RAILWAY CoURTsHIP.-A short time ago
a young lady. out of her teens, was travelling in a
first class railway carriage from London to Birming-
ham. There was but one other passenger, a gentle
man, who became very agreeable by conversing po-
litely on various subjects. Before the arrival of the
train at Birmingham the gentleman displayed such
interest in the fair damsel's welfare that he outstepped
the bounds of decorum, and stole a kiss from her
roseate cheek. This liberty gave such offence, that
at Birmingham our gentleman was given into the Gus
tody of an officer. A scene in the police court fol-
lowed-a fine was imposed and paid but our hero
had been smitten by this police procedure he learn
ed the name and connexions of the fair maiden,
adopted means to be introduced comme IL fdut, piled
his suit, was accepted, and "the couple" were soon
afterward Joined together in the holy bonds of matri-
nony. We vouch for these facts.-HergOrd Times.
