eg Following the terrible massacre on the
Lake Shore R4ilroad, comes frightful sacrifice
! OF passengers at sea. The steamship Raleigh, q
well-knOwn coastwise steamship, was burned

ESrThe Louisiana Convention on Saturday
last adopted the second article of the Constitu-
ton. 1t relates TO citizenship and declares that

eFRussia is earnestly studying the Eastern
Question. The Turkish Government has long
since received sone sharp notes. France has
been notified Of The disi'leasure of the Gar with
her du, ,licitv, and now council Of the nloS;
distinguished statesmen of Russia has been as
sembled al St. Petersburg to give their opinion
on the best way of solving the question. That

E4r The New York Times, referring to one OF
Mr.. Stewards contemplated purchases in the
| West Indies. says: ''What we get in that
quarter we must b. prepared to hold The
Times is understood to he the organ of Mr.. Srw-

spending nobody knows how many millions il
purchase money for the new territory, we must
spend millions more every year in the building
of forts and harbors and the support of gsrri-
sons and fleets.
E9-In March, delegates from all The States Of
Germany, North and South, will meet in COM
mon Customs Union Parliament. Already the
military unity of all Germany has became an
accomplished fact 10y the ratification OF the
military conventions concluded between Prus-
sia and the South German States The Gus
toms Union Parliament will consummate the
commercial unity, and will thus mark new
and important stage in the progress of Germany

Napoleon is Ekely TO be put once more to a
severe test by this Parlmant
@- While all Italy is chatting with hatred
against France, and the Government finds it eI-
tremely difficult to restrain the popular fury
from precipitating war, Russia takes occasion
to remind Italy and all other Powers whom it
may concern, that she is on anything but good
terms with France in the Eastern question
France has associated herself with some steps
taken by Russia and her Allies in the Eastern
question; only, as is commonly believed, to
delay and deceive Russia, and TO oppose her,
finally, with the greater viger. Against this
shifting policy Russia has earnestly protested.
If the Italians had Bismarck, the chance OF
concluding q formidable auti-Frnch alliance

The NATIONAL CONVENTION OF MAN
UFAcTURERs, held in Cleveland, for the
purpose of memorializing Congress for
reduction Or taking off the buraensome
tax which is now imposed OIL home pro-
ductions, except luxuries, was decided
success from every point in which it may
be viewed. The attendance was large,
delegates being present from nearly all
important manufacturing points of the
country, representing many millions of
capital invested in multitude ofinterest
The assembling Of such All important
body has seldom been witnessed iE A

tion of the subject matter of complaint
set forth in the resolutions, OF tail to pay
all proper attention to the memorial which
was unanimously adopted by the Conyen-
ton and forwarded.
