By Tele?srapH Ct?ble Dcspatcbea. . LONDON, December 30.-An unsuc? cessful altomnt^vas made by Fenians to burn thel Dublin general post office with Greek fire, whioh failed. A powder mill at Ferersham ex? ploded; ten persons were killed and many burt. Cause unknown. The Queen of Spain, in ber speech to the Cortes, pledges the nation to /tba support of tho Pope's temporal * power. Tho Observer says that the Govern? ment will ask no new powers for tho repression of Fenianism. It is expected that the January re? turns will show a decrease in tho reve? nue. The great powers have determined to ask Napoleon the basis of the Italian Conference. The Conference has been delayed by Menabey aud the inability to reconstruct the Mi? nistry. PARIS. December 29.-The Pepe's offer to pay the interest on Italian bonds has boen refused by Italy. FLORENCE, December 29.-There is much . agitation in Piedmont and Naples. A Garibaldi rising is appre? hended. ST. PETERSBURG, December 29.-A congress of Russian diplomats on the Eastern question is progressing here. .fewi Item?. CHARLESTON, December 30.-Ar? rived-steamer E. B. Souder, New York. There is much encouragement felt here, owing to accounts from Wash? ington, representing a probability of Congressional aid to the planting in? terest. WASHINGTON, December 30.--The acquisition of British Colombia, in settlement of tho Alabama claims, is bruited. Several influential Sena? tors favor this mode of adjustment, and the Alabama spoliation claimants urge it. Discussing the recent removals, the New York Tribune says: "The President successfully plays the game of political chess. The President re? moves every man who favors recon? struction under any other plan than his own. The game goes on-the President winning all the time; nor do we fafl to seo that the power which strengthens him, is that of Gen. Grant. There is no use of con? ciliating or avoiding this fact-Gen. Grant is an instrument of Mr. John? son's will." Internal revenue receipts, to-day, $1,050,000. Five highway robberies were com? mitted in Brooklyn on Saturday night. After] January 1, the payment for publishing letter lists stops. A re? adjustment of the post office salaries throughout the country is progress? ing PHILADELPHIA, December 30.-The schooner M. E. Faber, from Wil? mington, was struck by a water spout, on the 11th, and badly damaged. NEW ORLEANS, December 30.-In the Convention, to-day, the second ortiole of the Constitution, adopted on Saturday, was reconsidered, and Judge Taliaferro's proposition, that the citizens of this State shall owe allegiance to the United States, which shall bo paramount to that which they owe the State, was incorporated therein, after much discussion. Ar? ticle third, as adopted, declares there shall never be slavery nor involuntary servitude in this State, except as a punishment for crime. Article fourth dech.Jes the liberty of the press and of free speech. Article fifth declares that the right of tho people peaceably to assemble and petition the Govern? ment, shall never be abridged. Ar? ticle sixth and seventh are rehearsals of the common law for tho punish? ment of crime. Tho concluding paragraph of article seventh, soys the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not bo suspended. Two moro incendiary fires have occurred in Vicksburg. REMARKABLE PHENOMENON.-A gentleman who arrived in the city yesterday, from Lee County, informs us that the people of that'section were thrown into great panic and paralysis a few mornings ago, by the wonderful spectacle of three suns rising at the same time. The central orb was encircled by a beautiful rain? bow, and surmounted by the frag? ment of another iris whioh extended On either hand above the attendant suns. Tho two surplus suns were, of course, but reflections of the bo:ia Jule sun ou tho clouds, and after a brief space theso suddenly dissolved and vanished, leaving the real Sol solus. Tho spectacle is said to have been sublimo und splendid beyond description, and inspired admiration even in the breusts of thoso who re? garded it as tho portent of awful supernatural developments. [ Lynchburg Republican. Ti IR DEVIL AS A REAL ESTATE OWN KU.-Mr. Henry Ward Beecher has lately made proclamation in a sermon that the devil "owns tho city of New York." Several of tho New York papers deny tho statement, and among them tho Tintes, which do votes nearly a column to its refuta? tion. From tho heavy taxes levied j on reid estat? if, that city, wo should j think tho flovil more interested iu i , disapproving ( he charge than any one. j else. I FINANCIAL AND COMMBROIAI?

DEPRESSION OP TRADE.-All the iron manufacturing establishments in the vicinity of Wheeling and Pitts? burg have determined upon a reduc? tion of the wages of the operatives, or a total suspension of work at the mills. The aggregate capital em? ployed in Wheeling in the iron manu? factories is about $3,000,000, which, by a stoppage of the mills, will lie idle, and 5,000 men will bo thrown out of employment. If the laborers consent to a reduction of 33 percent, on their wages, operations will con? tinue. The saw-mills of St, Anthony, Minnesota, have stopped, and hun? dreds of men are consequently thrown out of employment, and un? successfully offer to work iu the pine? ries at $10 a month. But the lumber? men of that vicinity cut 100,000,000 feet of logs last winter, over-stocked the market, and consequently do not need the services of the men this sea? son. o ?-? Tho end of tho Paraguayan war is announced-tho Paraguayans, com? pletely exhausted, having asked for a .suspension of hostilities. After a contest of two years and a half, which has frequently been very bloody, this war is happily at an end, aud with tho restoration of peace, of which there is so fair a prospect, it is stated that the free navigation of all the Brazilian waters is to bo opened to tho world. A gentleman residing at East Ber? lin, Pa., recently attended a sale in tho neighborhood, where ho pur? chased an old chest, which, on taking home and examining, bo was sur? prised to find had a false bottom, in which was stowed away a great many gold and silver coins of various de? nominations. They hod probably lain there upward of one hundred years. A man and woman named Brown, living in Columbia County, N.

Carman, fireman on a locomotive on the Kew York and Erie Road, was accidentally knooked off his engine, last week, while, flying at lightning Speed. He shot through the open timbers of a bridge, fell thirty feet, broke through the ice, scrambled ont, took a diagnosis o! himself, and found only a scratch on his neck and his watch stopped, ?* A PRUDENT QUEEN.-The ?panish ^x-Qneen Christina is reported to be ono of the heaviest tax-payers in France, where she owns several hun? dred thousand acres, a dozen country mansions, and three large man factoring establishments. The Detroit Free Presj thinks Sheridan ought to be impeached. His offence lies in kissing some 500 girls in a white school, but preserv? ing a dignified reticence during his visit tho next day to a similar colored institutiou. Somebody bas discovered the Polar If the thing is for sale, for hea? ven's sake, don't let Mr. Soward know it. Don't ho too anxious to solve a conundrum. Judy knows a mau who got two black eyes iu endeavoring to find oat the difference between a man and a woman fighting in tho street. The killing of a policeman, a Ger? man lad, and a negro boy, and the wounding of about a dozen other persons, were among the Christmas festivities in Memphis, Tenu. The People's Magazine fears the total extiuction of the race of ele? phants at no distant day. Then what should wo do for billiard balls and fine tooth combs? Rumors have been again current in Italy that the King would abdicate, and that Prince Humbert would ap? peal to the country for a support in a war against France. Tho impressible Henry S. Foote is out in a long letter to the Tennessee Legislature, in favor of calling a State Convention. Stenographic reporters in Boston make it a practice to steal new plays from the lips of the actors. A mana? ger requests information of the rob? bers from the audience. -, The Montreal postmaster has had the heads of his clerks examined phrenologically, and dismissed those whose bumps were not properly de? veloped. A California miner, who has barely realized a living for eleven years, dug out $16,000 in three days work recently. An Ohio house-keeper set some arsenic poison for rats. The rats not only ate it but tracked it over food in the oloset and poisoued the whole family. A lady in Florida had 1,000 sheep a few months ago. Every one of them has since been stolen, killed and eaten by tho colored constitution makers. A lump of rough gold worth a dol? lar and a quarter was found lately in tho crop of a fowl killed in Yates. It must have been the goose that laid the golden egg. There is said to be a region iu Peru where the climate "restores con? sumptive persons to health as tainly as night follows day." Still another rebellion has broken out in China! The dissolution of the old empire is regarded as almost certain to occur, and that speedily.
