Eyrand, the murderer of Gauffe, Paris, and lately returned there under the extradition laws from Havanna, m Cuba, made a full confession of the crime en July 2nd. He said that the crime was premeditated and' committed for robbery. Prisoner is reported to be m a pitiable condition. He suffers from an internal disease with which he was attacked while m gaol m Havanna. He persists m ask ing the Judgeß of Instruction to hurry on the case. He saya that death by the guillotine would be preferable to penal servitude at his age, and he only begs to be allowed to go out <f life as soon as possible. Horrid stories are told of the recent invasion of Formosa by Chinese. When the invading army reached the country the Formosan savages fled to the hills ami that ended the campaign. Jen Cbvvr lax returned with a few selected troops by Bteamer, leaving the rest to get back as they best could. Many marched overland and some were sent m freight boats with rations for one day. They were out eight, and some thirty or forty starved to death, and 300 died of fever When they landed at the harbor of Apping they presented a deplorable spectacle. The Consul sent an appeal to Chew Tai, who responded by sending crave diggers. These added to the horror of the situation. All the sick who were supposed to be dying were bustled into coffins and buried before cold. Soldiers were seen forcing the lid of a coffin down on a victim, who was piteously crying for water, but the lid was nailed fast, and the living man hurried away to burial. The more dead there were the more money came to the pockets of the survivors.

Sydney, August 18. It is thought the Maritime difficulty has gone too far for conciliation, and the dispute threatens to have a very serious consequence. Many steamers sailed before the expiration of the 24 hours notice given by officers, but the latter will leave the ships as soon as they can get ashore. Officers of the steamer Adelaide left just before sail ing, and were replaced by others, who will probably be regarded as " black- Begs by the wharf laborers at Mel bourne, and the steamer will then be stuck up. It is denied that the Maritime bodies intend to call the railway hands out on strike. The officers of the Arawa, from Brisbane, deserted on the steamer's arrival last night.

At the criminal sittings of the Christchnrch Supreme Court to-day the following sen tences were passed :—Annie Fraser, larceny, six months; Charles Strwart Gordon, larceny by servant, two years. Mrs Anna O'Brien, known m the States as "The German Giantess," and Fred A. Shields, who belongs to a family of Giants, were married m Cinccinnati a day or two ago. They are about the same height—between 7 and 8 feet. The bride was the widow of Patrick O'Brien, who, too, was a giant. It was recently pointed out at a meeting of the Albury Stock and Pasture Board that •owing to injudicious branding a loss amouni* ing to £100,000 ami dally was sustained m the colonies; also, that 70 per cent of the hides going to Sydney were detoriated m value through the present system of branding. Some seed of a fodder plant, known as lathyrus silvestris has been introduced into Victoria. It is stated that ut the Woburn Experimental Farm, m England, some of this seed sown on umnamired sandy soil yielded fodder at the rate of 10^ t6ns to the acre. The plant has attracted considerable attention m Germany, where it has been used for bringing barren sand hills into pro fitable and permanent cultivation. It is also said to be of great use m binding earth embankments, or railway cuttings. A meeting of about 2000 Jews took place lately m the great hall of their .Assembly rooms, Great Alie-street. Mr S. Monte fiore presided, and a most eloquent address was given by the Rev. Mr Mackope, on the new movement for the colonization of Palestine. It was stated that large numbers of Jews were being enrolled as members, and that the proposed pastoral pursuits on the ground round Mount Zion were meet ing with general support. The allotments would be by ballot. In the course of a speech at Dundee Mr H. M. Stanley made a grateful allusion to the Zanzibar boy who accompanied him as a personal attendant. He said that while m camp on April sth of last year this boy had whispered something m his ear which led him to make a complete alteration m his tactics. Before that he had been treating Emm Pasha as a host would treat his guest, but from that moment he assumed command over Emm Pasha and his forces because he had learned from the boy of a conspiracy to disarm the expedition and send them prisoners to Khar toum. The saving of his life and the success of the expedition, he said, might be attri buted to his faithful attendant.

THE SIGNALMAN ON THE MID LAND.

There are probably about a million men employed m various capacities on the Bail ways of Great Britain—a number large enough, if they were soldiers, to overrun Europe. Upon the intelligence, fidelity, and physical condition of this vast army depend the lives of multitudes who are constantly travelling by rail.' Any sudden and serious disability happen ing to one of them may result m a disaster which would put hundreds of families m mourning. Accustomed as it is to safe and swift conveyance from point: to point, the public scarcely realises this fact. The. following *>rief narrative, which is strictly true, will therefore be read with interest : On the midland railway, twenty miles south of Carlisle, there is a little station called Oulgaith, Here there is a signal-box m which Signalman Andrew Agge is to be found on duty daily, As is the case with all other signal-boxes, this one contains the levers and the usual complicated electric and mechanical con trivances for making and receiving signals. Mr Agge is on duty nearly every day, and cakes his luncheons without leaving his post, He is a sturdy man of thirty five, m good health, and no complaint has ever been made against him by the Com pany or by the public ; yet an incident occurred a few years ago that came near depriving him of his position and his life. For some time he had not felt well, the worst; and most dangerous phase of hi? indisposition being a kind of giddiness that would seijje him unexpectedly and, as he described it, *' apt everything to moving and twisting round and round." The doctor told him frankly that it was a symptom of a still more radical complaint brought on by too much confinement, and by his irregular habits of eating and sleeping, and that ha had better abandon his work for &. while, and try a change of scene. But this was easier said than done. He had a family to support, and couldn't afford the luxury of a vacation. He knew no other business, and could- not risk the loss of his place. His work was always done, however, no matter how he felt. But it is pnly fair to say he had many anxious hours oyer it. His ailment, which he had discovered |to be indigestion and dyspepsia, now set up more alarming symptoms. A physician at Appleby as sured Ag?£ fJiftt there was serious trouble with his kidneys and bladder. "It is," said the doctor to the Signalman, " the result of the condition of your digestion. Your Wood js poisoned by your stomach, and every prg,ut of the body is crippled by it" This was a miserable outlook for Agge, who went back to Culgaifch with small courage for his work. He took hold, though, as well as he could, and kept it up until one morning several weeks afterwards. He was m his box as usual when of a sudden a sharp pain shot through him as though he had been stabbed. >vHh a knife. He tumbled down on .che locker m the signal-box, and lay there all the forenooii m acute distress and agony. For the time his work was a secondary consideration. Unable to re main m that position any longer, he laid down and rolled on the floor, The pain m his hips and back was so intense that he compared it to being cut with dull knives, and pierced with hot irons. Agge W8& alone when the attack came, and as uohody except railway officials are allowed jn the signal boxes, it was some time be fore his plight was djsepyered. Finally, however, the station-master came m, the neighbors were summoned., and the suffer ing man was put into a trap and taken to his house, half a mile away, T-her/e he was ill for weeks, part of the time un conscious. When the physicians had avowedly got to the end of their resources jit was agreed that the signalman's end was only q. matter of a very little time. This was the wljiation' when a singular tiling happened. T\v,o fff three years before, when Agge was feeling Hip symptoms of his disorder, he had tajkon v medicine that helped him ; getting better, he put tlie bottle asida, ,still half full, and forgot it altogether. Now, «« he was almost m a Aging condition, his memory flashed up oiio day, and he distinctly recalled where ho had put it. A search was made, and Minn it w;w found. The prostrate Skmalman began ««}»K it) all^ ne <i«tonishment of "neighbours jMjm] doctors, m a few days was able to get ojjt f 4 t doors. We may mention that the -medicine ww I;] .p well known preparation, Mother Seigel's (Jinn tive Sywp, although to advertise ihe article is not ihp chief motive for this little narrative. An ;j, matter of fact, Signalman Agye kept on doctoring him seff with it, mid it cured him, be its nature what it may. He went back to his box long ago, and this incident is prnted m order tint the reader may know iikjvp <--f Hio character and experi ence of a large and faithful body of public servants,,
