LONDON, April ll-Evening.-The Princess of Wales is at the poin' )t death; a surgical operation of the knee-bone necessary to save her lifo. She cannot endure the pain and is too weak for chloroform. The news has been carefully kept from tho pub? lic. The Prince of Wales haunts the theatres as usual. LONDON, April 12.-The grand jury ignored the indictment against Gov. Eyre for cruelty in suppressing the Jamaica rebellion. The fleet which sailed for Cadiz took out a peremptory demand for redress in the Tornado and Victoria cases. Spain returned an ovasive an? swer.

Tho Prussian garrison of Rostadt has been reinforced by two regiments. iRostndt is a strongly fortified Baden town, near the right bank of the Uh i ne, fourteen miles from Carlo rosse. ] STCTTO'AKDT, April ll-Evening. Orders have been sent to tho Princi Sal of the Wurtemberg and Baden iailway statious, to Bend cars for ca? valry horses. News Items. WASHINGTON, April 12..-The Post Office building is lighted by gas gene? rated on tho premises. James A. Kennedy, Treasurer and Superin? tendent, A. H. Doubleday and L. B. Moses, clerks, went to the basement, to remedy some gas difficulty, and carried a candle, when a terrific ex? plosion ocourred; Moses will die, and tho others are seriously, though not fatally, hurt. After a very long debate, tho Se? nate adopted a resolution to adjourn on Tuesday. Tho President's health has greatly improved. He attended a Cabinet meeting to-day. Maryland returns 7,000 majority for the Convention. Ba the Supremo Court, on the mo tion to file the Mississippi bill, the Chief Justice said the motion to file a bill was usually granted aa a matter of course, but suggested that if tho bill contains matter scandalous or unfit to como before the Court, the Court examines it or refers it to a master. In this caso, the Attorney General objects to the bill as contain' ing matter unfit to bring before the Court. That is the only point which can now be considered. Upon that point, the Court will first hear tho Attorney-General. Mr. O'Connor announced himself and associates in attendance, should it be decided to argue both bills. The Attorney-General said the Georgia bill lacked the point on which he proposed to oppose filing tho Mississippi bill. The Mississippi bill was, in a legal sense, scandalous as it proposed making the President tho defendant before the Court. Gov. Sharkey said he had amended the bill to proceed against the Presi dent as a citizen of Tennessee. Attornoy-General Stanberry read portions of the bill, claiming it was manifestly against the President as President. Ho alluded to a process somewhat similar issued against Mr Jefferson, in tho Burr trial. Mr Jefferson did not obey, nor even notice, the process. He should ad vise tho President to disregard tho subpoena, and traced the result should the Court persist and tho Pre sident remain firm. Tho Court, to maintain its dignity, would have to imprison tho President for contempt Ho maintained, equally with tho Kings of England, that tho President was oxempt from proceedings of this kind. He could only bo brought be foro the bar of the Senate after im pcachment. The Courts could punish for acts committed while President hut he was beyond their jurisdiction while occupying thc chair. Ho also maintained that the action was against the United States Govern ment as much as though the'Govern mont were named. He aunounced that ho appeared at the request of tho President, who, when tho bills passed over his veto, said there was but one dnty, in his estimation, rest ing upon him, and that was faithfully to carry out and execute those laws. It. J. Walker followed, and the Court toot the matter under advise ment. A largo anti-Chinese meeting was held in San Francisco, on tho 6th ultimo; tho object hoing to orgauizo u Pacific anti-Coolie Association and tho formation of clubs in ever ward of the city pledged not to pntronizo any mau who employed Chinese labor. Speeches wero made against Chincso immigration, and Mr. Cox, from Australia, advised the forcible expulsion of the Coolies from the State. Mr. Barnum's "unrivalled" collec tion of curios.'ties is soon to receive an interesting addition. By way inflicting a pcrmnnent and plensin retaliation, ho has ordered a series wax figures illustrating "striking" i cidents in the life of tho editor of Herald. FEAT m OB?TOBX.-A member o? tbe Legislative Assemblj of Vancou? ver's Island spoke in that House re? cently for seventeen bonis, in order to prevent a bill of much local interest from passing before tho close of a particular day, which bad been ap? pointed as tho limit of tbe time for making certain payments. The last twenty-four hours of the twelve? month aluno remained when this gentleman, Mr. M'Cluro, began his speech. The Examiner says: 4 'Every effort was made by the majority to put him down and tire bim out. With a merciless unanimity, they refused to allow bim to lean against the table, to put his foot upon a chair for a moment, to relieve himself from tho irksomeness of his position by rest? ing bis hand upon anything, or to speak, in short, in any other than a rigidly erect and unsupported atti? tude. 4-Daring the whole of tho time, they relieved each other at intervals, going out aud procuring such re? freshments as they needed, and al? ways leaving a quorum in the House. When McClure sank exhausted into his scat, Mr. De Comost rose, and for the remaining seven hours of the twenty-four talked agninst time. On rising; amidst the groans and hisses of the disgusted and infuriated ma? jority, he exclaimed, with more force than refinement, that it was useless for honorable members to evince their malice in that manner, for he had got up with tho determination to talk, if necessary, 'until the angel Gabriel sounded the Inst trump. ' His powers of endurance were not quite so severely tested; but the end was achieved, and when the clock struck 12, the worn and wenried champion of. honesty looked round with par? donable exultation upon the blank faces of a bought and beaten assem? bly." l?o recusant Democrat in Washing? ton now woald dare to go on such a "fillibustering expedition." Two THOUSAND MINERS ONA STRIKE. The strike of the miners in New Jer? sey still continues nnd is increasing. 2,000 are idle or engaged with the strikers, and all tho mines in Morris County have suspended work. The strikers obtain credit at the stores as they have heretofore done, bat it is only because tho dealers are afraid to refuse them. VIRGINIA TOBACCO CBOP.-The to? bacco now on hand in the Counties of Halifax, Pittsylvania, Franklin nnd Henry, in Virginia, and Rockingham and Coswell, in North Carolina, is es? timated to bo worth $12,000,000. The crop of Pittsylvania alone is placed at $3,000,000. We doubt this estimate. COMMERCIAL AM) Kilt Alf CI Alt? CHABLESTON, April ll.-Sales of cotton for the week 1,073 bales, at 24@26. Rico 9%?10.

A CoiiOBED PREAOHTO'S VIEWS OF ?THE SITUATION.-A friend, wbo was present nt one of the churches where our colored people worship, on Sun? day afternoon, gives us the following, among other sensible remarks, which occurred in the sermon of the preach? er, for many yr.-.rs a slavo in this city: "My brethren," said the preacher, "it is true, your condition is changed. You are now free mon and women, instead of, as ia former years, slaves; but because you are free, it does not reliovo you from certain duties which aro incumbent upon white and co? lored persons. You must work, and take care of yourselves and families, and behave yourselves as tho white people do, and be polite to nil per? sons. Without this, you cannot bo respected. * * * Do not bo de? ceived by professions from auv ono. When you find white men who are willing to get down under you for tho purpose of shoving you up above them, as BOIUO profess to do, for the purpose of gaining your support, I say to you, watch all Such charac? ters. When, however, men aro wil? ling to reach down from the wall and oner you their hands to pull you up, as your former masters are willing to do, you may trust them. I say unto you, brethren, look out for designing men, who profess only to betray." [Norfolk Journal. JEFF. DAVIS.-Professor Thomas Chenowith, of Baltimore, an artist on his travels, recently visited the fort and commenced giving instruc? tions in painting to Mr. Davis, Miss Howell, his sister-in-law, and others. The Professor had many -pleasant conversations with Mr. Davis. The latter said that he had no complaints to make of what appeared to no the strict measures of the Government to prevent his escape, and that lu entertained towards all the offioors of the fort none but the most kindly and friendly feelings, os they had ever been ready, and willing to pro? mote his comfort. Ho said he was nuder many obligations to the citi? zens of Baltimore. As to his trial, ho expressed no opinion. Ho wai in the hands of the Governmeut, and patiently awaited the decisior which would either place him b'eion the courts of justice or release him. [New York IZtpress. Jones, who is engaged in the rea estate business, was riding along om day, when ho saw this sign: "Tin farm for si iii." Seeing a womal picking up an apronful of chips n tho wood-pile, he politely asked he when the farm wa? to Bail. "Jus as the man comes along who cai raise the wind." Spurgeon, the famous Londo: preacher, sometimes gets off an ama? linglygood thing. "Brethren," sai j he, tlie other day, in the course c one of his wonderful sensational sci mons, "if God had referred the ar to a committee on naval affairs, it my opinion it would not have Jbee built yet." A young lady suggests, through th Albauy (Ga.)

The sh nf t will 1 thirty-two feet in height, and tl bronze figures, to be cast in Munie will cost $50,000 in gold. Here is ii question for the bo to work out. How can 45 bo divid? into four such parts, that if to tl first you add 2, the second you mal ply by 2, from tho third you subtrn 2, and the fourth you divide by tho quotient in all shall be eqnn). A young gentleman who passed i A No. 1 examination at a c?l?br?t law school in New England, a yt ago, turns out to bo a beautiful a: fast young lady, of good family, wi was in 1803 a second lieutenant in t army. A woman lives at Newport, R. in good health, who never goes ic the street, and although within hoi ing of steamboats and enrs, hnsne> seen either. She is quite destitute curiosity-a shining example of 1 sex. A distinguished London surge has taken the lecture room to assure the ladies in regard to t "chignon fallacy." Ho says tho " ganisms" aro neither entoza ii epizoa, but only ectozoa, which ; comparatively harmless. A terrier dog was sold at pub auction in Petersburg, Wednesdi by tho sheriff, to satisfy au executi in his hands. It brought $23.

Thirty soldiers of a Turkish r< ment in Constantinople, with ! other Mahometans, aro reported have recently embraced Christiani Thunder, lightning and snow ni to mnko Colorado storms a somew confused medley. */ An English artist has succeeded in the photographing of guns while being fired. In the pictures which were taken, the moment had been so exactly seized, thnt tho ball could actually be seen protruding from the muzzle of the gun, while in tho very aot of leaving it. The electric mechanism by which the gun is fired and the plate exposed nt the exact instant desired, is said to be exquisitely ingenious. Some liquor seized by tho State authorities iu Middlesex County, Moss., was analyzed a few days since, and on a bottle which was lettered in gilt "D. Brandy," thirty cents per glass, tho chemist put the following label: "Unable to decide what the manufacturer of this intended to imitate; it Contains more or less cam pheue." He also added, as a private mark, a skull and cross-bones. Au amusing circumstance happened in a singing school in Pennsylvania. A Mr. Paine was tho teacher, and a j Miss Patience one of tho pupils. In the course of the evening, he gave out tho tune set to the words, "Come, gentle patience, smile on pain." The pupils were so excited by laughter that it was found impossible to sing the line. At one of thc schools in Chicago, tho iuspector asked the childron if they could give any text of Scripture which forbade a man haring two wives. Ono of the children sagely quoted in reply, tho text, "No man can servo two musters." 'Two men in Davenport, Ohio, claim ono woman as their own lawful wife. They have gone to law about it, and tho judgo is puzzled. The woman says she don't care which man she has, so she gets one. "Dawkter," said an exquisite, tho other day, "I want you to tell me what I can put in my head to mako it tight." "It wants nothing but brains," said tho physician. A young lady in Louisville attempt? ed to hang herself, bat was foiled, and ' then tried the virtue of lauda? num, but that was pumped out of her. "She had misplaced her affec? tions. A German girl, who died in Cin? cinnati the other day, after living on charity for a year, was found to have had 80,000 hidden away in her room, 31,500 of which was in gold. A wounded Irishman wrote home from the hospital, and finished it up by saying, 'Tm for this country; I've bled for it, and I shall soon be able to say I've died for it. " Three reporters in New Orleans, while enjoying a social nap together, were robbed of. their pocket-books The three pocket-books contained fifteen cents. Two negroes had an altercation, about ten miles from Savannah, on Sunday night, in which one waa shot in thc arm, when he jumped upon the other and beat him to death. Tho Texas Telegraph announces its thirty-third birth-day, and states that it' is the oldest paper in the State, and older thau tho "Old Republic of Texas." "Where shall I put this paper, so as to be sure of seeing it to-morrow?" asked Mary Jones of her brother Charles. "On tho looking-glass, to bo sure," was his very prompt reply. A youth, disappointed in love, threw himself under a passing loco? motive. Did he do it because the eugine ulso had a tonder attachment? The woman who never interfered with her husband's affairs arrived in town the other day. She is unmar? ried. The wealthy citizens of New Or? leans aro moving in the matter of direct steam communication with Eu? rope. Cleveland has an egg six inches in circumference and eight inches the long way. The oppressive heat is beginning to drive the people from New Or? leans. The Earl of Brownlow, just de? ceased, had an income of $050,000, but was never well an entire day.
