NEW GOVERNMENT IN CHINA.-By two late
DEGREES which are found in the Journal of Pc
kin, the defunct Emperor Of China names his
eldest son inheritor of the Celestial Empire,
and designates eight persons 10 form Council
Of Regency. The names of these persons, ali
aatables. we are told, are Rsai- 9ouan,
Douan- Hoau, Jou Houang. Ten Ion, Mon-ln,
kouan- Y ouan, Don-Han and Tsoo- Y Iou In
1t is surprising that Prince Hong, who has in
some sort had charge Of the Government du-
ring the latter part Of this reign, and of whom
the English aud French have always spoken
in praise, holds no position among the officials
His long service in public affairs would seem
TO have entitled him to better consideration at
the hands of his late master Thus, at length,
after several wears Of fercest internal dissension
the affairs Of China appear to be settled upon
a legitimate basis that promises to be produc-
tive of good to the country and the navigation
Of the superb Yang TIE, aud the several works
of Improvement in the interior, will be hereaf-
ter prosecuted with growing profit to all na-
tons under the revving smile of peace, and
our own coast will sheoe in the advantages
that must accrue.-[S. F. Mirror.

TERRIBLE DIsAsI

TERRIBLE DISASTER IN FRANCE THREE
HUNDRED MEN BURIED IN A MINE.-The
foreign papers give accounts Of a terrible casu-
atty in the department of Gard, France. In
consequence of powerful storm-the bursting
OF waterspout, according to some statement
the Lalle mine was flooded, and the sides fell
IN, burying all the working men, An explo-
ton of gas took place at the same time, by
which portion Of the mine was blown up
The casualty took place on Sunday. October
18th. The Gazette de Mudi publishes the
following account:
The mine had been flooded by the late rains
a landsllp took place and more than one hun
dred workmen were either smothered or drown
ed. The Prelect of the Gard, having been
apprised OF the circumstance at ten o'clock at
night, left his residence, accompanied by seve-
raj public functionares, and by the chiefsengi-
neer of the department, and proceeded to the
NINE In special train. On arriving at the scene
OF the disaster, it was ascertained that one
hundred and seventeen miners were missing,
and that 100000 cubic yards of water had
rushed into the mine, and caused numerous
landslips. The engineers are of the opinion
that it will require three months to pump out
the water. The authorities returned to Mines
profoundly afflicted. NJ. Dumlinbert, the Pre-
feet, Immediately opened a subscription for the
relief of the numerous families who are reduced
to state of indulgence by the death of their
husbands and sons. Public rumor casts the
blame on the engineers but the fact is, that
water spout burst and caused torrent, which
rushed into the mine with such violence and
rapidy, that even the overseers had not time
to save themselves. An explosion of gas took
place at the same time, by which a portion of
the mine was blown up. Though every means
of rescuing the victims have been taken, there
is but little probability Of saving the lives of
those who are buried in the mine. The ut
most that can be done is to bring the dead
bodies to the surface The number of work.
men missing, and considered as killed by the
accident, is nearly three hundred.

When General Fremont left Springfield to
return to this city he was accompanied by an
army paymaster, who came off, bringing with
him S250O00 leaving the army under General
Hunter without dollar On the way to St.
Louis he paid ont ,000-doubtless to Ere
mont's Body Guard and Staff He had barely
arrived before u dispatch came from General
Hunter to General Curtis mentioning the pay
masters escapade, and asking for bis arrest and

($l75 000), and though not in irons, was under
guard strong enough to insure his safe return
to Springfield The Paymaster says that he
acted under orders from Fremont, and if there
is any crimiHaity in the transaction, Fremont
should alone be held responsible.
