I The Herald's Paris special, of last
levening, says: 1t has beeI definitely
iascertained that the European Con-
ference plan proposed by the Empe-
ror Napoleon, on the Roman ques-
ltion, has failed. The assemblage was
Ito have taken place in March, on the
9th, but some difficulty was expert
fenced in the diplomatic correspond
Ience before the day arrived. Paris
was then spoken of. The form of
representation was changed, but some
day was adhered to subsequently,.
AFTER the delivery of a speech by
Minister Rauher, on the subject Of
the relations between Rome and Italy,
in which he declared that Italy could
never go to Rome by force, the hest
fancy of the powers assumed the form
of open objection, on the ground OF
humility. 1t has been ascertained to-
day that the Conference or Congress
will not assemble, as all the great
powers here positively refused to at
tend.
A fire occurred yesterday mornin3
at No. 4 South Oxford Street. Brook
lyn, occupied by J. D. McCIusky.
Loss, $4,000; insured for $4,000
Three adjoining dwellings were dam
aged.
Mrs. Hannah Roone and her four
children, the oldest aged ID. were
found in their room at No. 90 Amity
Street, yesterday, suffering from the
effects of Iaudanum, which had been
administered by Mrs Roone herself
on account Of her distressing poverty.
They were taken to Bellevue Hos
pital, and the physicians despair of
saving their lives.
The HerGlds Washington speciaI
saws: Severe distress among the whites
and negroes of the South, especially
the latter, is anticipated during the
Winter. The freedmen are being dis
charged in large numbers by their
employers on account of scarcity of
food and means, and starvation in
many instances is actually at the
doors of both whites and blacks.
The HerGld's special says: Gov
Humphreys, of Mississippi, has re
ceived such information relative to
projected outbreaks among negroes.
In January, that he has deemed it
necessary to issue a proclamation
warning all combination for such a
purpose, that their intentions are
known, and they cannot succeed, and
if the black race believes this land
will be distributed among them, they
are greatly deceived.
The Her0lds Poughkeepsie special
says the entire length of the Hudson
river, from its source to its mouth, is
filed and choked with heavy ice. A
dispatch from Rhinebeck says that
passengers cross the river there on
foot, and that to day the ice is strong
enough for teams to cross.
The HerdIdS Washington special
says the case of Secretary Stanton will
be taken up tomorrow by the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs. His
restoration to the office of Secretary
of War is now past all likelihood. A
majority OF the House members were
determined on his reinstatement I'M
til the appearance Of the impeach-
ment testimony, but finding that he
expressed himself there as believing
the President had been faithfully per-
forming his duty in the establishment
of provisional governments in the
South, together with admitting in
many places that he acted in accord
ance wish the President, while leav-
81 ing Congress under the impression
that ne opposed him at every step,
his former friends in the Radical
panty hare lost all interest in his case,
an6 Eeei Indifferent whether he is con
signed a oblivion or act.
