left hand cut off at the wrist . The whole affair is still involved in the deepest mystery , but the most probable solution is that the unfortunate deceased , who was known to have a considerable sum of money on his person , was murdered in his sleep—probably in an infamous house—and . that the body and the clothes were then conveyed during the night to the spot where they were found . It appears that the deceased was a Russian , and probably captain of a vessel ' . He was about 3 b years of age . Mr . Sotheron Estcpurt has reprieved Richard Bolton and John Danks , under sente nce of death for the murder of Thomas Maddocks , a gamekeeper , in a poaching affray at Doddington .

ACCIDENTS . A MBLASCHotT . accident occurred last week at a colliery near Neath . ' The borers struck into an old working which had become full of water , and a torrent immediately rushed throug h the ape rture with such impetuosity that , though every exertion was made to rescue the workmen , twenty-five were overwhelmed and drowned . . . A serious collision took place on Monday , night ofl the Lizard , by her Majesty ' s steam ship Perseverance coming in contact with the British barque Ava , Captain Graham , from Cardiff , for Gibraltar , which almost immediately foundered . The crew were saved by the boats of the Perseverance , and were landed this morning at Plymouth . .
Dr . R . Mortimer Glover , a physician of considerable ability , died on Saturday , at Notting-hill , from the effects of an over dose of chloroform .

Glover was for more than a year in the Civil Medical Department , as secretary . He had only recently been married . An inquest has been held , and a verdic t of accidental death been returned . .

Another explosion of powder happened on Thursday in tlie corning house of Messrs . Lawrence ' s works , near Battle , Sussex .

CONTINENTAL NOTES . . . " FRANCE . The Monitcur of Sunday contained an a tide addressed to the Germans , in which it is said that to represent France as . hostile to German nationality is not merely an error ; it is nonsense . The Government of the Emperor has always , for the space of ten years , employed the influence it had to smooth down rising difficulties , and resolve them in an equitable and just point of view . In Spain it has constantly upheld the constitutional throne of the Queen by exercising a disinterested . vigilance over the refugees whom successive revolutions had cast
on our frontiers . In Switzerland its kindly mediation contributed to arrange the Neufchatel affair , which might huve led to complications with Prussia . In Italy even , its solicitude overcame all difficulties ; and , having reestablished the Pope in his authority , it has inspired everywhere ideas of moderation alone . At Naples , in concert with its ally , the Queen of England , it hits induced the Government of the Two Sicilies to inaugurate reforms that would have rendered it stable . The policy of France cannot have two weights and two measures ; she treats with equity tlio interests of all peoples . What she desires to liavo respected in Italy she will know how to respect
herself in Germany . , , ^ , iu « n ,, i ( : The Pays , on Tuesday , said that tho difficulties which obstructed tho assembling of tho Congress aic definitively removed .
