KILLED ON A RAILROAD MIR. Jno Cook Of Get.
tysburg, Pa, was killed near Hanover, Pa, few
days since by being over by freigt train
Spectators shouted to him. to warn him of his per-
H. but in vain, owing to a high march wind, which
was blowing at the time. The breaksnan was on
the rear car and there was no engine attached
Hence there no blame imputable to the Com

been crushed off, the head scalped and the body
Otherwise mutilated.

Speaking of the coffee market, the Rio Mercan-
tile Journal of the 10Th 20, says:
The market has been and continues to be anima-
ted and prices have further advanced, whilst com.
pared with the past month, the respective qualities
are inferior.
The stock is very reduced; there Is scarcely any
superior at market, and it probable that really
good LOT. adapted for the United States, would
realize 4I250a4H350, whilst picked parcels for the
North of Europe would obtain 4H5O0a4l600. The
arrivals from the interior continue very limited nor
can supplies become abundant until March.
The rates of freight ruled low, there were
several large vessels in port, and little produce.

GALAPAGOS TREAry. A letter from Washington
says the rumor that the British Government has
denounced the protest which was made by its
Diplomatic Agent against the conclusion, by the
Government of Ecuador, of the Galaps sgos Treaty
lie unfounded. The combined protest of England
France, Spain, and Peru, against the arrangement
which Ecuador proposed to make with the United
States, is the most remarkable and the most mex
cusablc OF all the instances of foreign interference
In our affairs. We did not propose to acquire the
islands; nor to annex them nor to establish on
them military or naval depots but, simply to OBJ
tain the privilege of purchasing gusno at fair
price instead of paying TO the Peruvian Govern
ment very exhorbant price for the article which
she monopolizes. These protests are evidently
founded upon commercial and political jealousy,
aud sugur no COED in regard to the future relations
between the United States and those powers.
