MACDONALD, M.P., has written to the South Wales colliers urging them to accept his withdrawal from the Conciliation Board, as no inducement could make him alter his decision. He has taken that step after the most mature deliberation. He maintains that Mr Vivian's resignation is an acknowledgment that he committed a great mistake in bringing forward personal matters, and that the acceptance of his resignation by the mine owners is at "admission that they blundered, if tot something worse."  Ma WADE has at length succeeded in overcoming the antipathy of the Mandarins, and the Ofiet4 Gazette contains an edict proclaiming the right of foreigners to travel through the country. The Chinese officials are further enjoined to respect the treaties made with foreigners. This is perhaps the most difficult duty our representatives have to perform, for the Celestials consider it no breach of faith to outwit the Western Barbarians, and make treaties with them under force—merely to break them when it suits their convenience. Reparation for the murder of Mr Margaray will now be enforced by Mr Grosvenor and Mr Barker, who start for Yunan solely to treat with the authorities there on that point. There is little chance now of the peace being disturbed.  Tim Englih sufferers by the collapse of the Turkish borrowing scheme, are urging the Government to interfere on their behalf. The money lenders did not consult the Government when they accepted the Sultan's promise to pay heavy interest on the money advanced to him, and therefore, they have little grounds to expect that Government will step out of its way, and attempt to compel Turkey to implement its obligations. If a man jumps into a fire and gets burned, he has no right to ask Government to pay his doctor's bill, or to maintain him till he recovers from the injuries he has received by his own rash action. Government has other and higher functions to perform than looking after the interests of money•lenders. The French Government has already addressed a note to the Turkish Government on behalf of the sufferers, and it is 'believed that Italy will - follow its example. With Herzegovina  and Montenegro in open revolt, and the western bondholders crying out against him, the Sublime the Porte is not in the most enviable position imaginable. The bondholiers hays lost their interest, and they are not likely even to get "a slice of Turkey" in return.  AN imperial decree has been issued, granting reforms in Servia, and appealing to the insurgents to lay down their arms. In Herzegovina the Turks are reported to have obtained a victory over the insurgents, and 160 are said to have been left dead on the field.  MARY ANN GOLLIGHTLY, a married woman, 34 years of age, is in custody at Spennymoor on a charge of concealment of pregnancy and child murder. The dead body of a child was found in a reservoir at ltfuton, and the pieces of cloth in which it was wrapped corresponded with cloth found in prisoner's house.

In the evening huge bonfires blazed from several mountain tops.  THE Whitechapel tragedy threatens: to assume a new phase. The examination of the remains yesterday led the medical men to believe that the unfortunate:woman had not given birth to any children. If this can be proved, then it necessarily follows that the remains are not Idose of Elinr.ah Lane alias Mrs Bing, as she Li two children. From the statement made kl Alice Day's counsel at the trial on Wednesday, that if she were discharged from custody, she would be taken back to her former occupation at the Pavilion Theatre, a large crowd a,tembled last inight in expectation of her rvearance in the ballet. She was, however, triable to appear, and it is said her mind has ben considerably affected by the events of the past two weeks.

THE PARIS REBELLION-OUTRAGES BY THE INSURGENTS. PROPOSED OCCUPATION OF PARIS BY THE PRUSSIANS.  Paris is in the wildest state of excitement. There, are nearly 40 persons killed and wounded. Tie panic is general throughout the city. Heavy fighting is reported near the Louvre and Palais ReyaL • •  The Telegraph's Paris correspondent, writing yesterday afternoon, says the reaction in favour of order is so overwhelming that the insurgents will not dare to fight for their authority. The Paris Journal says Count Bismarck has informed M. Thiers that tine Prussian, will occupy Paris next Sunday if the Versailles Government are not then masters of the situation.  A grand review is announced at Versailles. It is generally believed the troops would not operate against the Paris National Guards. The Daily News publishes intelligence of an alarming character. The murdered generals were buried yesterday, being thrown iuto a ditch at Montmartre cemetery. The National Guards became irritated, and fired on the crowd, killing twtaty, and wounding many wore. The Rue De La Paix is a pool of blood.  It was reported last evening that shots had been fired on Prussians from the Belle Ville ramparts. This would furnish a good excuse to the Prussians to return.  The rebellion is said to be pasting from bad to worse, uo man's life or property being now safe.  (Per Reuter'.)  PARIS, Wedneeday evening.  A large number of unarmed men made a demonstration in favour of order, and called upon the sentries at the Place Vendome to retire, and allow themselves to be relieved by the National Guard of the district. The Guards refused, and when a member of the demonstration called upon the crowd it began to fall back, but not sufficiently quick to please the insurgents, three ranks of whom took aim and opened a full fire upon the people. From about five minutes a terrible scene was enacted, and the crowd fled in the greatest terror and disorder. There were several killed and wounded, the number of victims being estimated at at least 30.  The National Guards have been called to arms throughout the city, and fighting is apprehended this evening between them and the insurgents. The city is in a state of consternation.

THE ELTHAM MURDER.  At the Central Criminal Court on Wednesday, Edmund Walter Pook (20), printer, was charged before Chief Justice BoVILL with the wilful murder of Jane Maria Clousen. The Solicitor—ieueral with Mr Poland, Mr Archibald, and Mr Beasley, prosecuted; and Mr Huddleatou, QC., with Mr Harrington, Mr Besley. and Mr Straight defended. The precincts of the Old Bailey were crowded with persons anxious to gain admittance. The prisoner pleaded not guilty in • firm tone of voice, and exhibited great coolness. The prisoner, who was charged with the murder of this young girl, was the son of a stationer in a respectalle way of business and living in Loudonstreet, Gieenwich. The murdered girl was 17 years of age, and the daughter of a night watchman of Deptford. She had been two years in the service of the prisoner's father, and left there in April, going to stay with a female friend, Mrs Hamilton. The last time the poor girl was seeu alive by any one who could speak positively wasabout a qnarter to seven on the evening of the 25th April, and about half-past four on the morning of the 26th she was f01111(1, still alive, but frightfully wounded, and never after she said a few words to the policeman did she utter a word. It would be his duty now to place the facts before them in chrotioligical order, and as they had been set down in his instructions. As be had said, Jane Clouseu weut out about six o'cloak in the evening of the 25th April, and they walked about until half-past seven, when they parted, and that was the last time there was anything like absolute certainty of her being alive and well. When she left Mrs Hamilton she was in a considerable state of excitement. He should be Phle to show that between that time and half ost eight two or three witnesses met two persona, who might have been the prisoner and the deceased. About the time the crime wascommitted screams were heard coming from the direction where the two person were seen walking—that was all, he believed, he should be able to show in the way of direct evidence; but every person in the slightest degree acquainted with judicial investigation must know that there were two classes of evidence positive and circumstantiaL In conclusion, the Learned Council said these weee mainly the facts that lie should have to prove before them in evidence. He felt that anything like an appeal to their feelings would be out of place, and Was not .consistent with the duty of counsel for the prosecution. He would rather that those letters should tell their own tale, and leave the matter in their hands. He need not repeat that they had a most grave and solemn duty to perform, and that they were bound to give their verdict according to the oath they had taken before God. l'he evidence was a repetition of that already published. —lnspector Mulvany having detailed the circumstances of his visit to the prisoner's father, was closely cross-examined by the counsel for the defence. —Superintendent Griffin was afterwards called and the trial was adjourned.

FROM THE ALTAR TO THE GALLOWS. The second act in the tragedy of the Fenescal murderers has closed, and two of the murderers have, sa3s an American paper, paid the forfeit of their lives to the laws of the country. One of the persons claimed to have taken no part in the murder, but admitten he was present and took a share of the stolen goods. The other was active in the outrage, and he has admitted to being engaged in several other murders, among them those of Messrs Murdock, Hatch, and Crocker. A strange ceremony, and one almost unknown in the annals of crime, was that of the marriage of Hypolito Tapia to his former mistress, while standing, as it were, with the rope round his neck. The woman, Trinidad Rayestero, had long been living with Hypolito, aud was the mother of several of his children. To have them legitimated as far as posslb'e she induced Hypolito to consent to a marriage, which he readily did. So on Thursday evening a large number of his relatives and friends, and those of the woman, assembled at the gaol, and were admitted to an interview with the condemned. The priest soon came. Trinidad is an ordinary looking woman, with a five months' old child in her arms, and was dressed in a common calico dress, with the never absent black shawl thrown about her shoulders. The interview between her and Hypolito affected both greatly. The Re Father C. Jaillet officiated, amid surroundings in the highest degree dramatio and solemn. Ueda r the sentence of death for the commission of a terrible murder, and within a short twenty-four hours of his doom; within a gaol, at one portion of which stood the dread machinery that was to launch him into eternity; with witnesses composed of his sorrowing and weeping relatives, and his companion in crime doomed at the same time to suffer death with him; man del, and in chains, this man stood to take unto himself that holiest of all t hings— a wife! Two of the great events of life—marriage and death—under such cireurusrances ! Hypolito during the ceremony, preserved a calm, collected demeanour, and made all necessary responses in a firm, clear voice. Not so Triniiad, who barely preserved sufficient command of herself to go through the marriage ceremony. The marriage concluded, the parties present were told that the hour had come to close the gaol that night, and that they must part. On the seaffold, Tapia said, " My friends, lam here today to die by hanging. I have killed no person, nor helped to kill any one. The people forced the person who was guilty to swear against me; but it is all right—good bye." Davilla had nothing to say. He stood very still, with his eyes east, and evidently communing with himself. When the drop fell a series of heart-rending screams were raised by the crowd. Unknown to '1 apia his family came to see the banging, and they were loud in their lamentations and expressions of grief. The necks of both moo were broken, and they died wi: Lout a struggle.
