Francisco, en- route for Petropaulski. She brought
papers Of the 4th and 9th inst.
The principal item of American news is the NOM
ination by the Cincinnati Convention of Horace

Spain for putting Don Carlos on the throne, was
spreading fast and increasing in power.
A cable dispatch says that the report of the safety
Of DR.. Livingstone was brought to Zanzibar by ne
grCes from the interior. According to this state
ment Livingstone was at Ujji in January last, and
the American. Stanley. was with him.
Another new phase Of the Alabama question
appears in the following telegram
NEW YORK, May 4.-The New York HeraId's
Washington special says that at the Cabinet meeting
the reply from the English Government in reference
to the negative principle OF international law which
Secretary Fish had brought himself to be willing to
accept as a condition of our retreat, is so exceedingly
unsatisfactory to this Government that probably
there will be no back down after all, and the position
assumed by the President at first will be maintained.
MADRID, May Am uprising of the Carlists on
a large scale is expected to-day. The CatalOnian
Government has distributed troops throughout the
province for the purpose of suppressing il. Ad-
herents OF Don Carlos assert privately that he has
not left Spain, but is somewhere in the province Of
Navarro. The Government hopes to capture him.
Serrano has come up with the principal Carlist
band at Navarro, and the two forces now confront
each other. An engagement is expected soon.
Communication between Madrid and BilbOa is
interrupted by the Carlists, and Biscay is b6rning

What's up? Fearful cyclone at Madras; terrible
hurricane at Zanzibar extraordinary eruption of
Mount Vesuvius; awful earthquake at Antioch
severe earthquake at Lone Pine the Philippine Is
lands shaken almost pieces. These are only a few
of the extraordinary phenomena of the last few
weeks. 1t is a question very hard to determine
whether they are grouped for us merely by the ex-
tension of the telegraph or are unusual and extra
ordinary. Heretofore the world may have gone
through'many periods of such commissions as those
now taking place. without attracting general at
tention. The news of a violent hurricane at ZanZi-
bar coming to hand several months. often a year,
after it's occurrence would not have excited remark.
1t could not certainly have been associated with
the cyclone at Madras, or the earthquake at Lone
pine or Antioch. 1t was only a few years ago that
Fit took weeks to convey the information 10 Central
sEurope that Vesuyins was in eruption. IF then the
spread of the telegraph has had more to do IN get

nary commissions than an unusual disturbance OF
the laws of nature, we may expect as it progresses

Isaac Butt, member for Limerick, indi rnantly de-
MED being a Fenian, though he was for home rule,
and demanded retraction from the Marquis. He de-
nounced such language from a Minist T. He wanted
for Ireland a local government like that Of an Ameri-
can State, and for the Kingdom legislation similar
to the American Congress. A motion was made for
a second reading. but it was rejected by a vote of 227
to las.
PARIS. Nav 3.-Bazaine and Wimphen each de-
