News of the World. eT” PARA APAAN AY MALTA,
The ex-Empress of the French received a most cordial welcome at Malta from all classes, from the Governor downwards. In fact the officials, Maltese as well as English, treated Her Majesty more as if she were in the position she held a few years ago than as if she had undergone any reversion of circumstances. A review of all the troops in the garrison was held in honor of her visit, and the guards had orders to turn out and pay her the honors of royalty when- ever she passed along the streets.

LiveRPooL, May 28.—The City of Brus- sels arr:ved this afternoon. Crowds as- sembled at the landing and on the pier to see the City, which came np the river ip charge of four tugs. The Dock Board and a steamer with Gen. Grant and 2 number of others went to welcome her. The passen-
Deputations from Liverpoo! Roman Catho- lic societies went out in twe tugs to wel- come them. The pilgrivs were conducted to an hotel! to be entertained by the Roman Catholic Club. A Te Deum will be sung at the pro-cathedral. The pilgrims will then proceed directly to Rome.

CANADA,
Bakriz, Ont., May 29.—~ Yesterday even- ing, between six and seven o'clock, from information received, Chief Constable Rogers, accompanied by constable Frank Rogers, proceeded in a buggy to the house of a man named Munro, living at Kemp- enfeldt, about one mile from Barrie, and arrested his eldest daughter, Mary Jane
with the crime of murder. On ig charge the prisoner swooned away, and con~ tinued in that state fora long time. Fully one hour elapsed before the constables were enabled to drive her to Barrie g.ol. Great sympathy is felt for the parents of the prisoner, who are respectable elderly people, and who not being aware of the circumstances, feel the disgrace very much, Chief Constable Rogers on searching the prisoners box discovered a check shawl, a rt of which had been torn off and was ound bound round the body of the de- ceased infant. The reputed father of the chiid is well known, having up to a few months past carried on the business of a hotel-keeper. The prisoner was in his em ent forsome tims. At the time of his leaving Barrie he made a somewhat speedy exit. QUICKEST PassaGE ON Reconp.—Steamer *¢ Sarmatian,” Capt. Aird, from Liverpool, which arrived at Quebec on Saturday last, at 8.20 p.m., made the fastest passage via Cape Race on record. ‘Time, deducting de- tention at Rimouski landing mails, 8 days, 8 hours and 20 minutes, being 9 hours and 40 minutes less thin ever before made.
MEXICO.
lt is very difficult to make out what are the facts respecting the Mexican Governs ment. General Diaz has been declared elected by a legislature which was coms posed, chiefly, of his own creatures. He seems to be making a bona fide attempt to pacify the country and strengthen his own authority by calling to his councils some of the former supporters of President Lerdo. Meanwhile a counter revolution has broken out in favor of Lerdo. The banditti, who always league themselves under the tanners of the revolutionists, because revolution promises plunder, have gone from the ranks of Diaz to swell the r-nks of Lerdo’sarmy. The whole country is in a state of political formentation. It is almost certain that the administration of Diaz will be married by revolutionary attempts, and it is not at all improbable that the outset President may resume, before long, his place in the presidential chair.
UNITED STATES.
Kansas City, May 29.—A letter from Sweewater, Texas, reports that the town of Double Mountain, in the Pan Handle of Texas, has been captured by Apache In- dians, and all the stock in town run off No
iculars given. The letter also says a number of hunters has been killed by Indians during the om winter. A fight re~ cently occurred in the Pan Handle, between about sixty hunters and twice that number of Apaches. The hunters started after the Indians to avenge the murder of one of their number. They followed the trial many daye, and ai length they came upon an In- dian village on the bank of a small stream, They attacked the Indians under cover of the banks of the stream. The fight con- tinued several hours, and was only stopped by darkness. During the night the Indians

| GREAT BRITAIN,
Recently a girl who alleges that the rec- tor of All Saint’s Church, West Rromwich, is the father of her illegitimate child, took her offspring to the church to be christened. (in the question being asked, What name do you give this child? the father of the young woman replied, “ Frederick Willett White,” the two first names, Frederick Willet, being the Vicar’s name. Mr. Wil- lett promptly refused to baptise it in that time, saying that they were assuming his name, and asking if they could not find another, Receiving a negative answer, he poured some water on the child’s head, naming it George White, that being the name of the young woman’s father. Upon this George White remonstrated, and causs ing some little disturbance, he was expelled from the church by Colonel Bagnall, exs High Sheriff ot Staflordshire, and father-in~ law of Mr. Willett. About 8000 people had assembled to witness the: ings, the church, the churehyard, and the streets in the neighborhood being trowded. A large body of police were in attendance to keep order, It is stated that legal pro- ceedings will be taken against the Vicar.

Castlebar, in County Mayo, objects seriously to the export of potatoes. The ‘* Forestallers.”” as the purchasers for ex< ports are termed, are watched, and if a purchase is made, the bags are immediately cut, and the potatoes seattered about. The railway stations are also watched to prevent the export of potatoes, The result of these proceedings has been to reduce the price from 6d to 4d per stone.
The following letter has been received by Mr. De Morgan in reply to a communica. tion addressed to the Queen: --‘‘ Bucking« ham Palace,—Lieutenant-General Sir T, M. Biddulph is desired to asknowledga Mr. John de Morgan’s letter to the Queen asking her Majesty to receive a deputation

An extraordinary discovery of ancient, coins has just been made apout seven miles from Cupar. While several farm labovrera were digging a drain, they came at a depth of ten inches from the surface on a metal pot containing upwards of 9,000 silver coins ‘Most of the coins are about the size of a sixpence, a number are as large as florins, while others are of intermediate size. The pot is in excellent preservation. The coins are chiefly of the rein of Robert lI, Some of the inscriptions are almost obliterated, butin afew the markings are distinct. This is the largest collection of coins which has ever been discovered in Scotland.
