assiduity ; all the officials are placed under the svrveillance of the police ; and the attention of the constables is more especially gathering round four of them . That the crime was committed by some one . or more persons connected with the office is every day considered more certain . Great indignation is expressed at the Government not offering a reward . —It appears that'the * two previous cashiers of the railway were dismissed for deficiencies in their accounts for which it now seems likely they "were accountable ; and that SCr . Little , shortly after Ms appointment , missed 50 ? . The company , however , ¦ were so highly impressed with , his integritj ' , that they did not dismiss him ; and he took additional precautions . The depredator being thus baffled has , it is thought , slain Mr . Little , partly out of revenge , and partly to secure more plunder .
Thb Education Question . —The Dublin Protestant Association has unanimously adopted the following resolutions : — " That , inasmuch as all Whig interference relative to the education of the country of late years has been either to secularize it altogether or to make it subservient to the teaching of Popery , this meeting would beg to call public attention to the proceedings of the Endowed Schools Commission , fearing , as we do , that the funds originally intended for the promotion of Protestant education in Ireland shall be partiv , if not
entirely , wrested from the objects originally intended by the donors , and made instrumental to the propagation of the Popish system in this country . That the recent disclosures , by means of the correspondence between Sir Bobert Kane and the secretary of the Popish seminary known as the Catholic University , ' are additional evidences of the insidious attempts that are being made to foist Popery upon this country ; and that , while we pronounce the Romish University as an illegal institution , we esteem Dr . Kane in th « matter as another instance of the total linfitness of Roman Catholics to hold places of trust and power under the Queen of these realms . "

Bright , Secretary of the Interior ; the Attorney-General is not nominated . The Hon . J . M . Clayton , the American Minister who negotiated the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty , died on the 9 th after a protracted illness . According to the Herald , " the general opinion that he had been overreached by Sir Henry Bulwer affected his spirits ; and it is said he was several times driven to his bed by illness produced by anxiety of mind . A great conflagration has occurred at Syracuse , devastating the city , causing a loss of nearly one million dollars , and rendering numbers houseless .

THE COLONIES . Thb Native War m New Zealand . —The feud between the natives was at the last dates raging with great violence , and a serious encounter had taken place between the two hostile tribes off the Ngatiruanui and Ngatiawa . Five appear to hare been killed oa both sides . The former tribe had eight wounded , the latter three—at least , this is the onl y loss that either will admit of . The encounter took place near the European boundary , but no alarm or anxiety appears to exist on the part of the colonists . —Australian and New Zealand Gazette .

CONTINENTAL NOTES . . ¦ ¦ ¦¦¦ .. "• ¦ ¦ - . - ., . - ' . ' . ¦ ¦ ¦'¦ ' " FRANCE . •¦¦ . ¦ ¦ - .. The Presse , replying to an article in a London ministerial journal , which intimated a few days since that England might probably take possession of the Isle of Karrak , near the mouth of the Euphrates , as a station to be used as a basis of operations against Persian aggression , says that Karrak belongs to France , under a treaty concluded in 1769 between M . Pyrault , French , consul at Bussora , and Kerim Khan , " the wisest sovereign , perhaps , that Persia has had in modern times . " The writer admits that the fact is not generally known .
" A great piece of domestic news , " says the Daily News Paris correspondent , "is thatM . Emile de Girardin has sold his interest la the Presse to M . Milbaud the banker , after a negotiation of only three days . M . de Girardin was the founder and principal proprietor of the paper . He possessed forty lOOths of the shares , and had a salary of 30 , 000 fr . as re'dacteur in chief . The terms are , for the forty shares 800 , 000 f ., and for the editorship 15 O , 000 f ., making altogether the very handsome sum of O 50 , 000 f ., which M . de Girardin will put in his pocket . After the example of persons in meaner callings , he enters into a covenant not to exercise his trade of a journalist in Paris . " . . " ¦¦ ' * . - . ' ¦' ¦¦ ¦ ¦¦ ¦ - * ¦ ¦' : ¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
Forty-six persons , belonging to the religious sect of the Monaiers , a fcind of methodists , were tried before the Correctional Police of Lyons on Thursday - \ v-eek for having held meetings in defiance of the orders given "by the ' authorities . It appears ( says the Morning Star ) that the Momiers , who are distinguished by the severity of their religious doctrines and discipline , are spreading rapidly in France , and reckon amongst their members , many rich and influential persons . The Assemble Nationale says : — "Our readers no doubt remember that the Legislative Bod } ' , on the 2 nd
of July last , voted a law which authorized the inscription in the great book of the public debt of Three per Cent . Stock of 200 , 000 fr . each for the heirs of the female branches of King Louis Philippe ' s family affected by the decrees of the 22 nd January , 1852 . We believe that the French Government having notified through a diplomatic channel to the parties interested the promulgation of the law of the 2 nd July , the Duke Alexander of Wurtemberg , in the name of his son , a minor , and the Duke Augustus of Saxe-Coburg , in the name of the Princess Clementine d'Orleans , his wife , have refused to profit by the provisions of the law . "
The Marquis de Turgot left Paris on " Wednesday morning for Madrid , to resume his functions as Ambassador of the Emperor of the French at the Court of Queen Isabella .
PKUSSIA . On the opening of the Diet , a bill will be laid before the House of Represen tatives for the purpose of raising a revenue on all railroad traffic in the Prussian dominions . The amount of the tax proposed to be levied is ten per cent , on their gross receipts . On the other hand , they are henceforward to be allowed to raise their prices both for goods and passenger traffic as high as they like . Mr . Morris Moore , an Englishman , known in this country for his contests with Sir Charles Eautlake on the management of tho National Gallery , was arrested at Berlin last Saturday night , and detained for some time
by tho police . Our representative there , Lord Blomfield , lost no time in bringing the matter before tho notice of Baron Von Manteuffel , and Mr . Morris was set at liberty next morning . The cause of his arrest was that he had brought with him from England letters of introduction from political refugees in London to men in Berlin who are known to be disaffected towards tho Government . His lodgings were accordingly searched , but nothing alarming waa found at thorn . It appears that the police behaved with brutal and insulting violence ; and Mr . Moore has published n very truculent letter which ho addressed to Lord Blomfield , accusing him of dilatoriness in tho matter .
SPAIN . " The question of the fusion with tho family of Don Carloa , " says a letter from Madrid , dated . tho 19 th inst ., " is advancing towards a solution . It is the dosirc of Russia , as clearly manifested by Count Bonkondorf . The
Queen wishes to treat it as an affair in which her f »« , « r only , * nd not : the nation , is in any way concerned J few of her Ministers are opposed to this manner oSfeJT ing the question ; but the Queen laughs at her MinS ?" and is determined to settle the matter directly and w ^ l ' out any intervention , save that of private agents , S " ing in her own name and on her own behalf" Th * writer states that the late insurrection at Jlalaw got up by the police , at the instigation of the JliniV who desire to frighten the Queen into authorize IS measures of coercionThe of
. Governor Madrid , ifsaid , declined having anything to do with the matU and gave in his resignation in consequence The «! Governor is a creature of Narvaez . Tho authorities a about to augment the secret police by two hundred m £ ? " Some days since , " continues the writer alreadJ quoted , " a coup d ' t iat in favour of an Absolutist w , tern was prepared . The C ourt insisted that it should ll on , but it was assured by a -certain . ex-Minister that it was better to wait for the meeting of the Cortes and Parliamentary check sustained by General Narvaez The Court , however , is every day more anxious for if
ana me person wno now possesses the greatest influent ( a son of a well-known Carlist of high rank ) , and the King , urged by the clergy , agree in opinion with . thl rest of the Court . It is known that the Government h on the best understanding with the King of Naples who is the channel of - communication of the Pope ; and' that an active correspondence is carried on between Madrid Naples , and St . Petersburg . " ' Numerous arrests have leen made within the last few days at Madrid ; but it is said they have reference to other than political motives , as the persons apprehe nded are mostly of bad character , and the Government has declared its intention of proceeding against all such vagrants to the utmost extremity of the law . It is Dot improbable , however , that this is a mere pretext .
Several of the Madrid journals complain that the state of siege , which was said to be raised , is in fact merely transferred from tlie purely military authorities to the hands of the prefects , and it is not even raised at all in some parts of the country . Several arrests of suspected individuals have been made at Malaga since the outbreak , and the Ministerial journals assert that important discoveries have beea made by the police . The entire population has been disarmed . Nine individuals are already condemned to be shot , and several more Tv-ili probably meet the same fate . None of the wounded soldiers have died . There were some evidences of sympathy at Granada when the intelligence of the affair at Malaga first arrived ; but these were promptly repressed by the authorities , and all has been porii'ctlv niiiet since .
Ihe Gazette publishes a lioyal decree authorizing the Minister of Finance to purchase 5 n foreign markets corn and Hour to the amount of GO , OOJ ) , 000 reals , in order to bring down the prices in the Peninsula . The breadstuffs so procured will be admitted into Spanish ports free of duty .
RUSSIA . The Grand-Duke Nicholas has had a son born to him . M . Perowsky , who replaced Count de Kisseleff as minister of the Crown domains in llussia , has just died at St . Petersburg ,. The last circular of the Russian Minister of Foreign Aflairs , Prince GortscliakofV , i 3 said to be couched iu moderate and conciliatory language ; but Russia abandons neither her opinions nor her claims on . Bolgrad , and she calls for tho meeting , of a Conference , to the decision of which she says she will defer unhesitatingly . Winter has set in on the Neva this yenr with unusual severity , and at a remarkably early period .
swrrzEiu . ANi > . M . James Fazy , of Switzerland , has addressed a letter to tho editor of the Sleek on the subject of certain allegations made in several Paris journals with respect to Noufchatel . The writer positively denies that tho treaty of the Congress of Vienna in 1815 has any bearing on the subject of Neufchutcl , inasmuch as Switzerland took no part in that congress ; and moreover asserts that Prussia has no right to that canton , as tho King of Prussia , on tho 15 th February , 1800 , ceded the principality of Noufchatel to France , with all the other districts and places which did not actually form part of Prussia Proper .
Tho text of tho roport on the Prussian propositions laid before the German Diet , and which the Diet unanimously adopted , has been published . Tho . resolutions consist in the Federal Diet giving in its adherence to tho protocol of 1852 , and instructing the Ambassadors in Switzerland to recommend to the 1 ' cderal Council tho release of the prisoners , nnd the meeting of Prussia half way in hor wish to effect an arrangement concerning tho question of sovereignty . " Tho Swiss Federal Council , " says the P rcsse , Mj reduced to a single battalion the corps of occupation sout into the canton of Neufcliutcl .
