EDWIN M. STANTON, Sec. of War."  It is reported from Ilavanna that serious apprehensions exist there of an insurrection by the slaves. Deposits of arms have been found, and several negroes arrested. The plot is said to embrace the slaves all over the island.  It is stated that the exchange of 6,000 Union prisoners, now going on at Darien, will take all the Confederates hold, while we yet hold from 65,000 to 70,000. 'There was a report in New Orleans on the 18th inst. that Jeff. Davis escaped to the west side of the Mississippi river on the night of the 16th, crossing at Tinker's Bend. At the same time it was reported that the rebel troops of the Trans-Mississippi army, under Kirby Smith, were being disbanded and returning to their homes. The latest advices from Mobile say that General Canby had prohibited the entrance into the city of all persons excepting those connected with the army or navy. A blockade runner with 1000 bales of cotton on board had been captured above Mobile in the Mobile river. On the 14th inst. Gen. A. J. Smith's corps of national troops was 11 milesbeyond the town of Blakeley en route for Montgomery, Alabama, in pursuit of the retreating rebels. The national gunboats sunk by rebel torpedoes and obstructions during the operations against Mobile were the Milwaukee, Osage, Laura, Ida, • Iberville, Blossom, Rover, Scotia, and No. 48. Nearly all the monitors were up to the city on the 14th inst., and the remainder of Admiral Thatcher'sfleet would immediately follow.  A despatch received by the New York limes says that Payne, the assassin, has, since his confinement, attempted suicide by butting his head against the iron walls of his prison, reducing it almost to a jelly.  The same journal states that Johnston at first proposed to surrender on the terms granted to Lee, but Hampton objected, whereupon Sherman granted a delay for the opportunity to consult with Jefferson Davis. The next day another meeting took place, when the remarkable propositions sent to Washington by Sherman were presented. LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, April 25.—The rebel Colonel Jessie, with 28 of his guerillas, were captured near Eminence yesterday morning by Colonel Buckley's men. Loss small on both sides. A despatch from the Secretary of War, received in New York on the 27th inst., announces the death of J. Wilkes Booth, the murderer of President Lincoln.

" The French International Exhibition," says the Independance Belge, "is decidedly fixed to take place in 1867. Thus far, the Camp de Mars appears to have a chance of being selected for the site, as the present Palace of Industry does not offer space sufficient.

LATEST PARTICULARS.  The man William Shaughnessy recovered sensibility last night at ten o'clock. He said to the nurse, who had charge of him in the ward at Westminster Hospital, " I did not intend to kill my wife when I struck at her with the razor, but I did mean to do for myself." He made no statement as to what circumstances had induced him to commit suicide. The authorities at the hospital, when they were informed of the statement made by the self-injured man, instantly communicated with the police in order that they might send a constable to remain with him during the night. He is at present under the care of Mr. Antonini, the house-surgeon. The wound in the wretched man's throat is seven inches wide ; but the gash, although it extends from ear to ear, has not injured either the windpipe or the jugular vein. It is thought probable that he will live for at least 24 hours.  The injuries to the throat of the wife are almost identical to those of her husband, but there is no danger of her immediate death. The wounds were inflicted with a razor.  The cause of the quarrel which terminated so seriously is stated to be a refusal on the part of the wife to give up to the care of her husband his son, a boy aged ten years. Frequent quarrels had taken place between them before; and yesterday, at the time of the shocking occurrence, they were returning from the police-court, where the magistrate had been trying to bring about a reconciliation between them. The man, whose age is 47, had been married to his wife, whose age is 45, several years. They have five children—three boys and two girls —and they lived at 142, Lillington-street. The man has a very determined and ferocious appearance. On inquiring at Westminster Hospital, this morning, our reporter learnt that both the man Shaughnessy and his wife were progressing favourably, considering the nature of their wounds, though of course no definite opinion can be formed as to the result—but the very worst is to be feared.

GENEROUS AT LAST.—A venerable-looking gentleman was seen two days back in the Avenue de Noailles, at Lyons, offering handfuls of gold and silver to the passers-by, and crying out, " To-morrow is the end of the world. I am rich ; what can Ido with my fortune ? Let us share, my friends, and pass merrily the few moments which remain !" One woman alone accepted the proferred money. The person thus conducting himself was formerly a silk manufacturer, and, it is hardly necessary to say, was out of his mind. Some friends of his family, hearing of the incident, took him to his own house. THE FRIGHTFUL SUICIDE ON THE GREAT EASTERN RAlLWAY.—Yesterday Mr. Richards, the deputy coroner, resumed, at the Chasseraux Arms, Park-lane, Tottenham, the inquiry respecting the suicide of Mr. Edward Edwards, aged 48 years. It will be remembered that the deceased, on Wednesday morning last, was found lying on the rails of the Great `Eastern Railway, near the Ponder's End Station. A train had passed over his neck, and nearly severed his head from his body. He had latterly become very desponding in mind, in consequence of having become addicted to habits of intoxication. His business, he had stated, was going wrong. A letter in his pocket indicated that he had designedly destroyed his life, as he stated his sufferings were horrible. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased committed suicide while of unsound mind.  PLYMOUTH,Johnstone, 717 Tuesday.--Tho t e sdoanys 7onThe ship Goolwaiine Capt.
