carrying with it the whole of the company , who had gathered there to the number of forty or fifty . It was a considerable time before the police could extricate the sufferers "from the ruins ; and it was then found that nineteen were tilled , and that a similar number had been more or less dangerously injured . The Tifperartt Bank . —Some proceedings , in connection with this bank , took place on Tuesday , in the Master's office . Messrs . Morrogh and Kennedy disclaimed , on oath , all knowledge of the report issued by the Tipperary Bank in February last . la the course of the proceedings , it appeared that some twenty conveyances of property in Ireland were executed by the late John Sadleir to the London and
County Bank last August , and it was elicited that previous to that date an agreement had been entered into by John Sadleir to transfer those estates to the Tipperary Bank as security for the large advance made to Mm . Mr . J . B . Kennedy , in the course of his examination by Mr . Lawless , said he had in his possession securities and other property of the Tipperary Bank , of which he would furnish a list on the following day , aud lodge them in court . He believed that three purchases of property were made by Mr . Sadleir in the Encumbered Estates Court . Being questioned as to securities not in his possession , Mr . Kennedy mentioned a mortage , he believed of the Glengall estate , for ^ £ 12 , 000 ., which was the money of the bank . It was made , about April ,. 1847 , to Mr . Anthony Norris of London , as trustee for the bank . He could give a list of the properties purchased by the late Mr . Sadleir in
the Encumbered Estates Court . Mr . Sadleir sold the greater , portion of them , and he also assigned a portion tothe London and County Bank . Mr . Sadleir made or agreed to make an assignment of those properties infavour of the Tipperary Bank in March , 1855 . Mr . Keating came over to Ireland with a letter from Mr . Sadleir , which witness saw . He knew that a , great deaF of the purchase-money of several of those estates came from , the Tipperary Bank ; but whether they were purchased in trust for th & bank or for Mr . Sadleir himself , he was not able to say- He added that , to his knowledge , the purchases -were not made with a view to giving security to the Tipperary Bank , and that he felt pretty sure that the deeds of conveyance from the Encumbered EstatesCourt were not deposited with any person on behalf of the Tipperary Bank by way of security .

Amkkica.. General Walker, Of Nicaragua, ...
AMKKICA .. General Walker , of Nicaragua , has decreed the Abolition of the privileges of the Nicaragua Transit Company , and seized some of their steamers on the river ' and lake " It appears , " says the Times , " that a change has latel y taken place in the management of -the company , which has led to dissension , and that Walker has taken the side of the dismissed officials . His chief pleas are , that the company have failed to pay a certain annual per-centage due to the State ; that _ they have neglected to carry out the works originally contemplated ; and that they have recently entered into a combination with the proprietors of the rival route via Panama , to damage , for
speculative purposes , the Nicaragua traffic . The company not only meet these charges with a denial , but assert that there is actually a balance due to them from ' Nicaragua for the conveyance of ' emigrants' thither from New York and California—these emigrants , it is to be assumed , being the band which Walker originally gathered round him . The effect on Nicaragua stock has been such as to absorb the entire attention of the New York speculators . A few clays previously to the news , the price was about 23 , whence there was an immediate drop to 12 , at which large amounts -were offered . From this , the only reaction had been to 13 or 14 , and , as the depreciation thus sustained the
" was equal ou whole amount of stock to something between a quarter and half a million sterling , the holders were olamorous for Government aid to sustain their rights . Urgent representations wore accordingly being made at Washington for this purpose , the Claytou-Eulwer Treaty of 1850 , between the United States and Great Britain , containing , among its principal clauses , an engagoraont to maintain the neutrality of the route and to protoot the company in the proper prosecution of their enterprise -Great Britain , indeed , is ns much bound to interfere as the Government of the United Stuten ; and a leading New York paper osprossos n , hopo that ono result of the existing state of circumstances mav bo TOin
auoa a resumption of that mutual co-operation between the two countries , in the wolfuro of Nicaragua , which , but for the course ndoptod by those who were originally appoalod to on this side , might probably never have boon interrupted . " Mr . Clnyton has made n ' spoooh in the Sonata on the Oluyton-Bulwor Treaty .

under orders of the United States district attorney , charged with being fitted out as a slaver . A des General Walker as a ruffian , buccanier , and pirate . A Baltimore schooner has been seized at New Tork , tructive fire has occurred at Boston , and destroyed 56 , 000 dollars' worth , of property . A fearful accident has occurred on the Delaware River . One of the Camden and Philadelphia ferryboats took fire when in the middle of the stream . The flames spread with great rapidity . The boat became unmanageable . The passengers , about one hundred in number , panicstricken , leapt into the water , to escape a terrible death by burning . Many of them , were picked up , but some thirty were drowned . The sacrifice of life is attributable to the ferryboat being destituie of small boats and life-preservers ,
The Panama papers state that Honduras was marching a force of 5 , 000 men against Walker . Trade at San Juan was very dull . The French frigate L'Ambuscade had reached Punta Arenas with strict orders to put down any Filibustering expedition , she might fall in with on the high seas . The usual state of anarchy continues in Mexico and Central America . Puebla is besieged , and Comonfort is in arms . The officers who led the revolt at the Castle of San Juan de ITlloa have been sentenced to be shot . The depai'ture of Nicaragua Fillibusters at New Orleans has been openly proclaimed in the papers . Under date of the 10 th ult ., it is stated that the British ship of war Powerful "had arrived on . the 1 st with orders to unite there all the English and French forces stationed in the Mexican Gulf , and to start immediately for Nicaragua .
The Orient. India. Further Particulars W...
THE ORIENT . INDIA . Further particulars with respect to the annexation of Oude have reached England by the last mail . On the 4 th of February , General Outrani submitted the draught of a treaty to the King . He refused to sign , but offered to surrender his Minister , or to niaieany other concession . General Outrani gave him three days to consider his resolution , and , in the mean while halted the troops outside Lucknow . At the end of that period , as the King still refused to sign , the proclamation was issued ; allmilitary stores were seized ; and a strong British foi'ce was encamped round Lucknow . It is said that the King at first threatened to j go to England in person , to plead his cause before ' Parliament ; but he now determines to send a deputy . The country has been divided into four districts—Khyrabad , Lucknow , Gonda Bareytch , and Fyzabad —each presided over by a commissioner , with three , deputies . The military appointments are all filled i up . r The alteration in the tenure of land in Madraswhich , under the present Ryotwaree system , bears with great hardship on the occupier , who has to pay the more rent the more he improves his land—is exciting considerable interest . The propositions of the President , Lord Harris , would enable the ryot to have the benefit of his own improvements , and would j reduce the tax on land ; but the change would involve the loss of nearly one-third of the land revenues of Madras . The Santal rebellion seems to be over . The Nizam ' s country is distracted by a most anarchical state of things , gang robberies and niurdez's being very frequent . A desperate conflict has taken place between some Arab horsemen and a party of Rohillas , in which the latter were defeated . Intelligence from Cabul speaks of the proceedings of Dost Mahomed with reference to Candahsir . Having entered that city , he soon made himself virtually master of the place , and Mahomed Sadeek fled precipitately to Persia : Addresses to Lord Dalliousio , expressive of regret at his departure and of admiration of his Government , have been agreed to in various parts of British India . CHINA . Mr . Chisholm Anatoy liaa arrived at Houg-Kong , and been sworn in as tho Queen ' s Attorney-General in that colony . Tho cause of tho rebels appears to bo doclining .

bona-¦ RdaAres of Imperial munificence ? # Those of ottr readers who may have happened to be in Paris in June , 1848 , will have no difficulty in answering the question . They will remember how , at that moment , Paris was rife with symptoms of a Bonapartist conspiracy . These " victims , " then , are not the men who fought for order and the laws , but insurgents . Bonapartist insurgents , who fought behind the barricades by "the side of those republicans who , in June , 1848 , destroyed the Kepublie . Verily , they have their reward . The misguided Republicans demanded
" bread or lead , " and got the latter . These Bonapartists demanded Louis Napoleon and now , eight years after , the " preserve !* of right and order in Europe , " indemnifies the men who held all France in terror and consternation , and deluged the capital with civic bloodshed . Perhaps the French Emperor has never done anything more logical since his accession to power . It may seem strange that the Saviour of Order should reward insurgents ; but may not the hero of the 2 nd of December feel a natural sympathy , for conspirators and insurgents ?
A grand review of all the corps stationed in the first military division of Paris took place on Tuesday in the Champ de Mars . The Emperor was aceompanied by the Plenipotentiaries . By Imperial decrees , Count Walewski has been raised to the rank of Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour , " in consequence of the eminent services which be has rendered as Minister of Foreign Affairs ; " ana Baron de Bourqueney -bo the dignity of Senator , for bis services during the late diplomatic negotiations .
The number of Punch for last Saturday has been seized and suppressed in Paris on account of the large caricature , which represents Liberty advancing towards the cradle of the Imperial infant , and saying to the Emperor , who sit 3 by the sidej " Please , may I be godmother ?"—a question to which the Emperor replies by a most dubious and startled expression . A day or two since , ( says the Daily News Paris Correspondent ) , a hackney carriage , containing three gentlemen and a lady , drove up to the door of a house
in the Eue du Bac . A moment after they had alighted , a eammissary of police , accompanied by several sergens-de-ville , inquired of the coachman where he had taken up his company . His answer was such as to lead to further inquiries of the concierge of the house . He unconsciously gave information which convinced the police that they had found out a clandestine political meeting . They followed the newly-arrived visitors upstairs , broke up the meeting , which was rather numerous , and arrested several individuals . I have not heard the character of the
assemblage—whether Legitimist , Orleamst , Republican , or Socialist . Dr . "Verpn . has ceased , c ' for private reasons , " to have any connexion with the ludependance Beige . Count Walewski , on Monday , entertained the Plenipotentiaries and other distinguished persons at a banquet at the Foreign Office . The speech of the Count after dinner was very brief ; and some surprise haa been felt that neither Lord Clarendon nor Count Orloff responded to it . A certain degree of embarrassment followed the host ' s remarks . It was then proposed that Mousignor Sacehoni , the Papal Nuncio , should offer a few observations . But the envoy is a bad orator ; and he declined . The principal parties being thus silent , the vest were of course obliged to hold their tongues .
AUSTRIA . With regard to the approaching synod , we learn from the Wiener Zeitung that " there are various matters on which the Bishops will be required to give information , and explanation to the Imperial Government , and that it has been arranged between the Papal Chair and bis Majuaty that , whenever such is the case , their Eminences the Cardinals of Prague , Gran , and Vienna shall preside over tho Episcopal assembly .
