siding in Mill-street, Savannah, who was dread
fully burne on Saturday night last by Che ex-
plosion of kerosene lamp, is dead. This is

-iccr>.ary Fish is preparing the instruc-
tons . ,lnister Motley, which will be forward
cl to Inn before he leaves, on the 10th, for
!, gland. There has been a great deal Of
,,oculation about the probable tenor Of these
dispatches, bun 1t is not probable tnas any one
except Secretary Fish, Mr.. Motley and Mr.
Sumucc has any correct idea OF what they are
to be.
-vl:y latc dispatches. received in Washing
ton, by tue government, leave no room to doubt
an imminent and. widespre cad revolution in
Mexico. There is no reason to believe that our
government has any policy in view of anarchy
there. Our foreign relations are in such criti-
cal condition all around, and the members OF
the Cabinet SO much at variance, that itaB not
unlikely that tho president will call Congress
together by the, ,arsse- iutely published to the
effect that DR.. Livingstone, the great African
explorer, had arrived at Zanzibar, is contra
dicted. His friend, DR.. Murchison now infers
that he has travelled west from from the
southern end of Lake Tanganiki, (fnding its
waters did not Aow northward,) . following the
rivers which issue nn- the -west -uf Africa.
Unuer this supposition he may be first heard
3sof from one Of the western Portuguese settle
ments, or even from those on the Congo.

theJournal OF Commerce says that battalion
OF 1910 regular soldiers, includigs officers, ar
rived there on the Oath ult., and that this made
grand total Of 1S, SIT men received there for
service from Spain since December is. 1858.
This being all the rein&orc6ments added to the
Spanish army in Cuba since xhe Beginning OF
the revolution, it is evident that it must be o.
great deal weaker than It was at the outset.
Theah0sg Tor the sSpaniards is a great deal
supposed.
CORES spondent of the London
Dur military men assure us
sslnaanel viii not pass away without a
eampai They profess to have certain in
forfaatien that the French artillery was never
at any Time so ,formidably complete in all it's
departments. The government seems to share
with the officers the expectation OF war. Great
activity relgns in the arsenals. That of st.
Petersburg alone has cast. bored and g1ooved
more than 45O 4pounders and over 15O g. poun-
ers, on the new system, at the rate OF two o
day; and 100 heavy guns have been rified.
-lhe commissioner of internal revenue.
with the approval of the Secretary Of the Trea-
sury, will shortly issue circular to the var-
GUS officers OF the revenue departmon., in
structipg them relative TO incomes derived
by subjects Of foreign governments upon capi-
tai invested iii this country. Chief Justice
Chase recently decided upon the circuit, in
Baltimore, that the government could not
withhold the five per cent. tax from foreign
subjects; henc, the circular will be issued in
structing officers not to collect the same The
amount heretofore collected will be refunded,
and aggregates considerable sum, one claim
alone being about $3.50, 900.
A dispatch was received in Washington on
Wednesday by the British minister from the
English consul at Havana giving an account
OF another Spanish outrage on the high seas
According to this dispatch, q Spanish war ves-
sci hailed an English brig at sea, and the lat
ter refusing to stop, was fred into by the
Spaniard and sunk. This is the, substance of
the dispatch, which Mr.. Thornton immediately
sent to his government over the cable. As the
dispatch is extremely meagre, not stating
whether the information respecting the out
rage was received originally from the Spanish
man-of-war or from some survivors of the
sunken brig, the authorities here scarcely
know whether to credit it or not.
The party consisting OF ex- Governor Ward,
OF New Jersey, Colonel Forney, General Van
Wyck, OF New York, and others, who started
on o Southern trip two weeks ago, have re-
turned to Washington. They went as far as
Florida, stopping at the principal cities and
towns on the way. They all concur in the re-
port that the Industrial prospects have i'm
proved. They say the negroes are working
better this year than last, and the whites gem
orally seem to be more Industrious, and the
crops look we'll. The people are anxious for
Northern immigration. and millions OF acres
OF good lands are offered to capitalists. The
party we're everywhere well received, and rail
road companies provided special cars on the
trains for their accommodation free OF charge.
