FRANCE.
r,ore was an impression that Prince Napoleon
orome would be appointed to the nominal com
and of the expeditionary army to Turkey. OF
Bourse such an appointment would be merely
animal, as the Prince is altogether an untrled
Elder. Marshal Valiant will probably be ap.
Sonted Chief of the Staff.
Cen. Castelbaac was hourly expected in Paris
kom St. Petersburg. Marshal Valliant's ap-
f,ntment as Chief of the Staff of the expeditio-
rrv army, is understood to be to avoid jealousy
Snouq the generals of division. Gen. paraguay
fGlers cannot yet be spared from his diplomat
most but in the early course of the war will re-
| live Marshals baton and a command. Gen.
Seissier will, in all likelhood,have the command
tbe African division, and Gen. Macmahon is
| 50 preparing for service.
| ENGLAND.-DREADFUL EXPLOSION.
A dreadful colliery explosion occurred in the
| tep mine of the Ince Hall Coal Company, near
kigan, on the afternoon of the 18th. About 240
| ca and boys were in the pit Soon after o.
Hack the persons above ground heard two loud
Eplosions, and Immediately a signal was made
lom below to haul up the miners. Thirty men
Iere Immediately hauled up from the south shaft,
Ind reported that the north shaft was on fire in
Inch manner as to cut off the retreat of the rest
II the workmen. 1t was some hours before the
Frc could be extinguished so as to allow body
N searcbers to descend. On arriving at the
orth level they found the unfortunate men piled
|p in heaps and dead. Eighty bodies were at
NICE taken up, and from another part of the shaft
|Wentyfour bodies Only few, and those much
Exhausted, were got out alive. Some few es-
Eaped into another pit, so that the exact number
lost is not known, but as forty persons were
known TO be in part of the mine where the
koof has fallen in, the number of dead cannot be
less than one hundred and twenty. In the same
mine sixty lives were lost by an explosion IN
March ofast year.
TIE COSTUME QUESTION,
The Advertiser says sit gives us much pleas
|re to be able to state that the Queen has most
kraciously intmated to Mr.. Buchanan, the Ameri-
(an ambassador, that it will in future be left to
bis Excellency to appear at state balls, and her
lIaesiy's dinner pai ties, in whatever costume is
post agreeable to himself. The Lord Chamber
|ain has also made similar communication to
bis Ezcellency, relative to his costume, on the
fpenirg or closing of the sessions of Parlia-
|nent."
The Queen had issued proclamation, forbid
ping the expectation of arms, ammunition and
larine engines, or parts thereof. On an cXpla-
patton in Parliament, the Government states that
fachinery will be allowed to be sent to friendly
Iltions

luton TO take active part in the present crisis,
