THE PANAMA PRISONERS.  Notwithstanding their appeal to the Court of ?Assam:a against the sentences pronounced qn them n the Aesize Court, M. Charles do Lessens and M. Blondin might, by law, have been already trans. 'erred from the Conciergerie to a penitentiary arisen, but it has been decided, says the Standara Paris correspondent, that they shall be allowed to remain at the Conciergerie at least till the Court of 7aseation has pronounced on their appeal. It is stated that since their condemnation both of the prisoners have fallen into a state of great prostration. M. Charles de Lessepe spends most of his time sitting on a chair with his head lmtied in hie lands. Ile remain! in that attitude, with his elbows resting on table, for hours togethet without moving. Prom time tr time tears trickle through his fingers, while he struggles to mattes Ms emotion, which shakes i.is whole body with nervous spasm.. He nevertheless receive, pretty frequent visits from hie family and intimate friends, Mit as soon as he finds himself alone in his cell he Is seized again with profound dejection. As for M. Plondin, he seems thoroughly prostrated by the Aow. Me can no longer walk without the apOstance )1' his warder. When, some two months ago, M. Floquet, the doctor attached to the Pe ais de Justice, examined M. Blondin before he was released on mil, the doctor declared that Kmdin would sieves tie able to undergo a long term of imprieorAnent. It would teem that the medical man was right, as already M. Blondin presents eymptoms of paralysis. Madame Blondin is exerting all her influence, and :hat of her friends, to get the Minister of the Interior to authorise her husband's removal from prison to • weeison de saute. The condition of M. Sailmout is not much better. He is described as saving apparently grown ten years elder within the :aert few days. However, as he did not appeal against his sentence, be was on Saturday evening transferred from the Conciergerie to the Etampes Penitentiary Prison, where he will undergo his sentence.  The bill promoted by the Manchester Ship Canal :!ompany to raise £2,000,00 additional capital by oat' from the Ma heater Corporation came before Aie of the examiners of the House of Commons )nTuesday,after having passed tbrough all its stages ,n the House of Lords. The bill was allowed tc proceed. _  'fuesday old man of 70, named George !'ompston, spinner, was charged at Blackburn with sttenspting to murder a weaver named Joseph Neville. The men lived in the stain house,and the prisoner, having missed some money, accused Neville of taking it. A fight ensued, during winds Neville received severe wounds in the groin which ,lecessitated his detention in the infirmary for three weeks. The prisoner was committed for trial.  A large portion or toe tows. or raunoirtma, In tbe territory of the Osage nation of Indiana, has been burned down. The Indian Council House, some large stores, together with small buildings, have been destroyed. It is also reported that five lives have been lost. At the Aix ASISiLeb a woman named Carmagnole was condemned to death for having poisoned her husband. The motive of the crime appears to have been mainly pecuniary gain, the woman having been anxious to obtain possession of her husband rs money in order to live 011 it in company with her 10,11.
