      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 tte sufferers from the ruins ; and it was then found that nineteen were Mlle . d , and that a similar number had been more or less daDgerously injured . TgE Tippebary Bank . —Some proceedings , in connection with this bajik , took place on Tuesday , ix \ the Master's office . Messrs . Morrogh and Kennedy disclaimed , on oath , all knowledge of the report issued by the Tipperary Bank in February last . In . the course of the proceedings , it appeared that some twenty conveyances of property in Ireland were executed hy the late Jobn 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 Tippea-ary Bank as security for the large advance made to him . Mr . « T . B . Kennedy , in the course of his examination by Mr . Lawless , Baid 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 iothe Londoa and County Bank . Mr . Sadleir made or agreed to make an assignment of those properties Jnfavour 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 deal of the purchase-money of several of those estates came from the Tipperary Bank ; but whether they were purchased in trust for the bank or for Mr . Sadleir himself , he "was not able to say . He added that , to his knowledge ^ the purchases were not made \ rith a view to giving security to the Tipperary Bant , and that he felt pretty sure that the deeds of conveyance from the Encumbered Estates Court werenot deposited with , any person on behalf of the Tipperary Bank by way of security .

      AMERICA . -Genebal Walker , of Nicaragua , has decreed the ohniifijow <* F < Jvh « wrivileges of tbe Nicaragua Transit % . . _ " " ' ~ " « « n the Company , and seized some of their sceum ^ .. , river and lake " It appears , " says the Times , "that a change has lately 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 arc , 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 origuually 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 aiot only meet these charges with a denial , but assert that there is actually n . balance clue 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 origi nally gathered round him . The effect on Nicaragua stock has leen such as to absorb the entire attention of the Now York speculators . A few days 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 thuf ) sustained was equal on tho whole amount of stock to something between a quarter and half a million sterling , tho holders

A Baltimore schooner has been seized at New York , 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 l > y burning . Many of them were picked up , but some thirty were drowned . The sacrifice of life is attributable to tha ferryboat Toeing destitute 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 1 / 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 Ulloa have been sentenced to be shot . The departure of Nicaragua Filibusters at New Orleaus 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 .

      TEE 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 Outaun submitted the draught of a treaty to the King . He refused to sign , but offered to surrender his Minister , or to make any other concession . Cfeueral Outram gave him . three days to consider his resolution , and , in the meanwhile halted the troops outside Lucknow . At the end of that period , as the King still refused to sign , the proclamation was issued ; all military stores were seized ; and a strong British force was encamped round Luck- ' now . It is said that the King at first threatened to 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— ' . Kbyrabad , Lucknow , Gonda Bareytch , and Fyzabad ~*~\ mresided over bv a commissioner , with , three

      iiciaires of Imperial munificence ? Those of our 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 law . s , but insurgents . Bonapartist insurgents , who fought behind the barricades by the side of those republicans who , in June , 1848 , destroyed the Republic . Verily , they have tbeir reward . The misguided Republicans demanded * bread or lead , " and got the latter . These Bonapartists demanded Louis Napoleon and now , eight years after , the " preserver of right and order in Europe , " indemnifies the men who held all France

      m terror and consternation , and deluged the ca-pital with civic bloodshed . Perhaps the French Emperor has never done anything more logical since his accession to power . It may seem strang-e that the Saviour of Order should reward insurgents ; but may not tlie 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 accompanied 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 he has rendered as Minister of Foreign Affairs ; " and Baron de Bourqueney to the dignity of Senator , for bis services during tlie 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 sits by the side , " 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 bitckney carriage , containing three gentlemen aud a lady , drove up to the door of a house in the Rue du Eac . A moment after they had alighted , a commissary of police , accompanied by several sergena-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 tbe 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 .
