The z7sbune's special from Constantine
pie, of the 9th, says the Russian Ambassa-
dor in that city, General Ignatof, has pre-
sented to the Porte another note of his
Government, which demands the cession
of Crete to Greece, and the full equality of
Christians and Mahomedans in all the
provinces of Turkey. The demand is de-
clared to be the ultimatum of Russia, and
an answer is asked within ten days. In
diplomatic circles war is regarded as al
most inevitable.
A despatch from Berlin, of the 18th
inst, says the negotiations which have
been pending the past two weeks between
the United States and the Prussian Gov
ernments, relative to postal treaty, have
been completed. An arrangement having
for it's object reduction from its present
rates, similar in its general features to the
treaty recently completed with Great
Britain, was signed. The time it is to 60
into effect is not made public. 1t reduces
the postage one-third, when the mails are
despatched directly to German ports, and
one half when they go by way of Great
| Britain.
The Heralds Mexico City correspond
ence, August 25th, says considerable can.
wasting and excitement have followed the
call made by President Juarez for gen.
eral election. Factions were active, and
the opposition were neglecting no oppor-
tunity to diminish the chances of Presi-
dent Juarez. The latter is in favor of SO
amending the Mexican Constitution as to
make it like that of the United States. He
is in favor of allowing the clergy to vote
and be voted for of having two houses Of
Congress, and of making the Ministers re-
port to the Executive, as is done in the
United States. Santa Annals trial is daily
expected to take place His counsel will
be the same gentlemen who defended
Macmillan. The general impression is
that he will not be executed, but that his
estates will be confscated. The roads are
being successfully cleared of robbers, and
large conductas of specie had gone down
to Vera Cruz. Lasedo had surrendered to
Corona and Escobedo. Canales and Lopez,
the traitor, are doing their best, each in his
own way, to leave their mark in history.
The Coriell murder, in New Jersey, has
been entirely put in the shade by horri-
BILE affair Just made public in Hampshire
County, Eng. On the Oath of last month
some children were playing in meadow
just outside the town eff Alton, when a
strange man came along and persuaded a
child of eight years, named Fanny Adams,
to go with him into a neighboring hop
garden. She was never seen again alive.
The same evening a man passing by the
hop garden discovered the head of the lit
tie girl resting upon two hop poles. The
discovery created intense excitement, and
the whole town turned out to search for
the remainder of the body. A leg and
foot were found in one place, a forearm in
another: hand, severed from the wrist, a
foot cut off at the ankle, the mutilated
trunk, full of stabs and gashes, part Of
an arm, the heart and intestines, and the
tattered remnants of the clothes were
picked mp scattered over long distances
The eyes had been gouged out, the esrs cut
off, and the flesh of the legs and thighs
ripped open to the bone. A young man
named Baker-a fellow of Indifferent char
acter-was arrested on suspicion, and ira
ces of blood were found on his clothes
while in his diary was this entry, in a bold
and unfaltering hand: :" Saturday, August
la, killed young girl; fine and hot" A
Coroner's jury found him guilty, and he
was held for trial. So the case rests. The
motive Tor the murder is beyond conjec-
ture. a< ~ El5L
