THE MAILS OF THE VANDERBILT.

The Paris Moniteur of the 2Gth ult. saws:
Travellers who have lately come by railway from
Marseilles to Paris have been struck with the pro-
missing and advanced state of the crops Cornficds,
meadows, vineyards and fruit trees of all kinds are
IN the most thriving condition. From Lyons to
the capital, vegetation, under the influence of
temperature unusually warm for the season, has
advanced very rapidly; and if the present weather
continues for another week, farmers will rarely

abundant year.
The Paris correspondent of the London Times,
writing on the 26th ut., saws
After all, the affair of the editor of the Consfifu
ttonnd is not yet decided Though the article which
produced the crisis highly disapproved in high
Official quarters, yet there much unwillingness

IL was supposed the matter was arranged, but |
have just heard that the proprietor of the journal
has served his editor with legal summons to quit
on the payment of an indemnity. If the govern
went keep him at his post, the proprietor of the
journal may take the citadel by famine and refuse
to pay salary; while, the other hand, the govern
ment may refuse to confirm the appointment of a
new editor. Here is a curious position The pro-

The retirement of NJ Espinasse from the Ministry

Giovanni LAM, the Italian murderer of French
courtesan, was hanged at Newgate, London, on the
2Gth of April.
The London Times of 9th April saws:
In consequence Of the satisfactory nature of the
last advices from Venezuela, the committee of Span
ish-American bondholders have determined dis
patching by the packet of the 18th of next month
their commissioner, Mr. Elias Mocatta, to Caracas,
to endeavor to arrange for the liquidation of the
arrears due on the foreign debt of that republic.
The same paper adds
1t is said that certain representatives of the
Western Bank of Scotland are to have an interview
with the Chancellor of the Exchequer tomorrow
to solicit the government to authorize them to sei
the privilege of issuing notes to the amount of
1887 900, which they enjoyed to the date of their
stoppage. After the efforts already made to screen
the directors from inquiry it is impossibleo conin

gical lines of railway are being formed IN various
directions those connecting the great naval arsen
