The rocks which are laid down on the British Admiralty Chart (No. 2,618) of Kelung Harbour as bearing N. 652 deg. E. (true), distant a little more than two cables from Ruin Rock, and having 18 feet of water on them, have now a depth of only 14 feet on them at low water spring tides.

A correspondent at Newchwang, under date 27th January, writes that there were then large quantities of grain coming in to the city from the country around. This piece of information is good news for steamship companies, whose boats will have, in consequence, plenty to do on the opening of the season.

The Captain of one of the Mail Steamers run- ning regularly to this port, has reported that in November last he observed heavy breakers, apparently, caused by a sunken rock or reef, about one mile in a South-casterly direction from the isle of Tongling, Another observer, who saw the breakers at the same time, states that they appeared to be from one half to three quarters of a mile South of the lises.

GLASGOW, January zand.

The largest gasometer here exploded fast night. Eight persons were injured. The greater portion of the south of Glasgow was left in darkness and a panic was nearly caused in consequence. Sub sequently a shed belonging to the Caledonia Railroad Company, was blown up. The explo sion is supposed to be the work of Fenians. A soldier to-day picked up on the bank of the Forth and Clyde Canal a ti box which exploded on an attempt being made to open it. Two persons were injured.

NEW YORK, January 24th. The World says: Our cable dispatches from Paris fully confirm the view taken by the Paris correspondent of the World of the troubles likely to follow the hasty and violent action of the French Govern- ment in the matter of Prince Napoleon and his manifesto. Our correspondent calls at- tention to the fact that Prince Napolcon was really aiming his blow at the ailministration of the finances under the Republic. The blow ha's plainly taken effect. The silly assault made by the Government upon the Orleans Princes, who have earned by their conduct since 1870 the respect and confidence of the respectable people of France, has, of course, contributed to this; but after all is said and done, as human affairs go,, Prince Napoleon appears to have A fire this evening in the first story of Bis-known what he was about a good deal better than marck's palace, Wilhelm Strausse, was quickly the French Government. extinguished.

PARIS, January 23d.

In the House of Deputies, yesterday, Curio Dornano questioned the Government in regard to the removal of Prince Napoleon's manifesto, and charged the judicial authorities with the violation of the Press law of 1881. Deves, Minister of Justice, replied that the Judge had acted in the free exercise of his discretion when he described Napoleon's act as a crime. The Chamber passed it to the order of the day by a vote of 400 to 88.

The Khedive has conferred the decoration of the Order of Medjidie of the first class upon Bredif, late French Controller.

FESTI, January 23rd. In the Lower House to-day, Jokay energetically advocated the placing of Jews on a complete equality with the adherents of other creeds. His remarks were greeted with cheers. Tiszay, Pre- sident of the Council, said the prejudice against the Jewish race would expire through social in- fluences only. If society should prove itself un- equal to the task, then would exceptional legisla tion become necessary.

MARID, January 24th.

The Cabinet has decided to reduce the expen- ditures of the Government in order to effect an equilibrium in the present budget.

The ex-Empress Eugenic announces that she play her sympathy with Prince Jerome. Her presence is a topic almost as exciting as the ar- rest of the Prince. It is said that Eugenio was cognizant of the manifesto. Her adherents claim that her presence means a demonstration in be- half of the name of the family of Napoleon,

The result of the elections in the Bureau of the Chamber of Deputies for members of the com- mittee on bills dealing with pretenders to the throne is four in favor of the Government bills, with certain restrictions, six in favor of Floquet's bill, and one in favor of Ballue's. Eighty votes were given for members favoring the Govern ments bills and 120 for those favoring the bills of Floquet.

PARIS, January 26th.

The Imperialists declare that Eugenie was not requested to quit France, but left only because she feared the marks of sympathy she received might develop into a political demonstration and thereby compromise her friends. Among her visi tors were Marshals MacMahon and Canrobert.

The magistrate conducting the inquiry into the case of Prince Napoleon states that sufficient cause is not shown for further proceedings.

The special committe of the French Chamber of Deputies adopted a proposition to deprive all members of royal families having remained in France of political rights and to prevent them from belonging to the army.
