At one O'Clock yesterday afternoon a very
unexpected catastrophe occurred at the lOca
tion Of the daily Times. The rear buil1ing
Of the Office Ia large, o-story brick, with
q fat composition roof. It appears that
great quantity of snow, blown from other
and higher buildings, had accumulated on
this root, proved to be too heavy Tor It, and
The central portion, embracing an area Of
about forty feet, suddenly gave way, and,
with tremendous crash, came down into
the ne Es room, demOlishing the floor and
precipltating cases, racks, tables, "turtles,"
composing stones, presses and types into the
iob-rOom below. Three small presses-One
of them a d-press-Were very nearly
ruined. The four cylinder press on which
the paper is printed, was In position where
1t received no injury. The amount OF type
instantly knocked into pi, was by no means
small, including some job and all the news
paper material; indeed, the wreck and ruin
Of the property was fearful. At the moment
of the crash, there we're eight or ten of the
employees Of the office in tho news room,
but, strange to relate, not one Of them was
seriously hurt. The escape of Mr.. Joseph
Bennett seemed almost miraculous. Being
near the centre Of the room, he was caught
blythe descending rubbish and carried through
to the lower floor; yet his only injury was
an Insignificant bruise. Most of the con-
positors were near one side of the Toom-in
the act of eating their dinner-which fact
doubtless contributed to their safety.
The building is owned by Messrs. Freer,
Myrick & Hamlin, The total loss cannot az
yet be correctly estimated, but it must GER
tainly amount to several thousand dollars,
Workmen were promptly engaged in repair
ing the damages and righting up affairs in
the Office. The proprietors Of the Times
found It impossible, in the mixed up condi-
ton OF matters, to issue any sheet this morn
ing Chicago Tribune, 22d.

there was no legal objection to the passage of
Mr.. RObinson's bill to fund certain railroad
debts of the city Of Cleveland. II was ordered

Mr.. Myers offered for adoption the follow

the rebels. And this General Assembly, as
the Representatives of the patriotic people Of
Ohio, protest against the impolitic and unjust
leniency extended to those rebel officers,
while the ignorant rank and file prisoners,
who have been induced to take up arms
against the Government and the Union, by
the misrepresentation Of those officers, are

other suitable place, or remove those prison.

BRITISH OPINION OF NAPoLEoN's CAMPAIGN
Thus, by this sudden and unlocked for transfer
nation, France finds herself alone on the CONT
empire, whose very name excites the Imagination
and quickens the pulse France has an undoubt-
ed cdsus beH against Mexico which she may
without any violation of the law of nations pros
ecute to the utmost extremity. The difficulty
which the dislike of the United States to the in
tervention of other European Powers would once
have presented is for the present removed. Alb
sorbed in their own intestine brawls, the Anglo
Americans can do nothing to prevent the estab-
lisnment on their frontiers of the most rormida-
BILE neighbor who could possibly place himself
there. Spain may probably view with much dis
content the threatened occupation by France of
a former dependency, to the loss of which she
never has wholly resigned herself, and which but
a little while ago she entertained apparently no
unreasonable hope of regaining. But Spain, al
though risen far above the decrepitude of the
earlier part of the century, is probably neither
able nor willing to do more than withdraw from
partnership in the French expedition. Three of
the great powers of Europe are. as Mr.. Disraeli
says, immersed in domestic difficulties, and unable
TO assert themselves in controlling the affairs of
foreign countries. We can, however,
with the almost sincerity assure the French ma
ton that we view it's occupation of Mexico, on
whatever terms it may take place, without the
slightest jealousy or ill--ill, and that we shall re-
joice in it's success. To Mexico itself a French
occupation would be an unmixed beneft.-TimeS,
May Is.

TRULY SPoKES.-The London Times of a recent
date speaking of American affairs, says:
"They (the Washington Cabinet) have already
possession of the seas, and the whole British
navy could give them nothing more. We might
lend them money, but Of this, too, in some form
or other. they have got enough to allow of a
present expenditure of 1900 900 a day. As to
sending them men, all the effective troops now
serving in England might be landed in New York
without causing any perceptible increase in the
fabulous numbers of the Northern armies. We
might send them three times as many soldiers as
we sent to Canada without adding above five per
cent to their forces in the field. No ruler in the
'COrLd, not eUen the first Napoleon. erer disposed
Of so many men or 50 much money as Abraham
Lincoln. He has fully $50 900 troops noU under
arms, and it is boosted that he could double that
number. His finances may rest ON a less stable
foundation, but he has, at any rate, enough and
to spare for the time. Intervention, therefore,
on benalf of the North, would be simply a null
lily, for no alliance could add to lis pover or
promote ats ends"
