It says that the French warsbip Talisman leftthere with orders for Marshal Bazaine to bring 40 of the 1.500 men campaigning in Tehuantepec, and that their arrival would sep all chance of the Liberals taking potesion of Acapuico.

It was said that Judge Monk would come to preside with Judge Johnson on the Fenian trials, but the press of business in the Montreal courts will prevent his coming Very few strangers from the United States are there. Everything is quiet in the village. Some of the Repablican papers of Western Maryland, in view of the great disparity be- tween the political sent:ments of the citizens of Western Maryland and those ofeother por- tions of the State, are advocating either the an- nexation of the Congressional district now represented by the Hon. Frank Thomas to Western Virginia, or the creation of a new State ont of the four counties composing it. A conflagration broke out in the dwelling of John Donovan, Oil City,on Monday, It was asmallirame house. The flames ignited from an oil lamp, and soon destroyed the building. The following persons were burned to death - William Donovan, aged nearly one hundred 4 Jerry Donovan, aged eleven years; and r. Carrigan, aged thirty years. The scene As & most beart-rendering one. The specta- tors were unable to save the victims in spile of the utmost efforts. Judge Spence, ot the Circuit Court for Dor- chester county, Md., has decided against the validity of the indentures of certain negro ap- prentices, and restored them to their parents, who had petitioned for a writ ef habeas corpus. The decision was a most important one, as it invalidates nearly all the indentures so hastily entered into when the act of emanci- pation took effectin Maryland. The Fenian parade at Baffalo wasa com- paratively small affalr,owing to the heavy Tain. A regiment of Fenians, accompanied by wagons, marched to the place waere the arms taken last June were kept, and received them from the officers of the Goverament. It is proposed to get around the bond given to the Government hot to use them against Canada, to sell them at auction to the highest bidder. The accident at Zanesville is not so bad as at first reported. One span of the bridge only was broken down. and two engines, two cars, one baggage, and one passenger car were pre- cipitated into the river. A number of persons were injured, but it is mot yet known how many were killed. A man named Dickens was assaulted in Richmond Monday night by three soldiers ot the lith U.S. Infantry. He strnck one of them, named John Daily, on the head with an @xe. inflicting a mortal wound. Another one was seriously injured. At the charter election ot New York yester- day R. B.

Pierce and bradshaw, who have been hindered in their operations by the occurrence ot unforseen circumstances, are now busily engaged in hur- rying up their work, and will. it 1s thought, have the bridge in passable order for local trains by the middle of the current month. Kev. James D. Coulling, some years ago sta- tioned in this city, a widely known and much esteemed minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, died on Wednesday morning, at the Murfreesboro’ Female College, of which institution he was president. Leonard, who was shot on Sunday evening last by John Cooney, is lying at his lodgings, upper end of King street, with symptoms of inflammation gradually increasing. Major W. B. Richards has been tendered the appointment of superintendent of the Southern Division of the Glove Express Com- pany. FINANCIAL.—The publication of the docu- ments connected with the opening of Congress have no very appreciable effect upon the markets, except that the exhibit ofthe condi- tion of the publie finances has an assuring et- tect upon Government securities, and bas pro- light advance in bonds. In New York yesterday gold opened at 40%, and sold up to 141%, partially upon the demand for covering short contracts. The Commercial of yesterday afternoon 88) Money is rather more in demand, owing to the increased activity in the stock market. On call loans the rate is generally 1x percent. Discounts are moderately active at 6yarz r cent. The stock market opened generally firm. At the board there was an ad- vance of % per cent. upon the leading stocks, but after the board the market fel! off to about the same extent. SENTENCED TO THE PENITENTIARY.—Frank Dixon, the negro arrested here some time this fall, on the charge of burglary in entering the dwelling-house of Mr. A. C. Harmon, and dis- charged by the court tor want of evidence. buat who was re-arrested by order of the Mayor, upon information received from the Lyles murderers, lately hung at Mariboro’, as a pur- licipant in the robbery of the Misses Palmer, Was delivered to the sheriff of Prince George’s county, Md., upon arequisition from the Goy- ernor of that State, taker to Marlboro’, tried by the court now in session there, and, as we are ipformed, has been sentenced to nine years confinement in the peniteguary. Thus all the parties in that robbery have met their jast de- verts.— Alexandria Gazette THE ConpITION OF THE SouTH.—Northern creditors of Southern debtors, if we can_be- heve what the latter say, have treated them with much greater generosity than creditors im theirown neighborhod. General Reuben Davis, ina recent address at Aberdeen, Mis- sistippi, said. “The Yankees show a liberality towards our people which shoula put our loeal creditors sbame.” The Examiner, Published at Aberdeen. jorses this senti- Ment, and co does the Memphis Avalanche, which says, “Weare giad to be able to beartil endorse 1 Davie {uo this statement.” Southern people who think the North harsh and unkind will at least admit that in money a matters they are not so.
