Tde papers throughout the country, just pre¬ 
vious to the inauguration, contained statements 
iclative to the "sudden illness of the President 
elect, as well as of various other persons,” and the 
whole wore an air of mystery. The case is now 
laid before the people by the Lancaster Express, 
the home paper of Mr. Buchanan. It seems that 
,the Nation.!], the largest Hotel in Washington, 
beiug overrun with rats, the proprietors undertook 
a general slaughter by poisoning them with strych¬ 
nine, They took the poison and then took to the 
nearest water, which was in the cistern, tanks and 
wells about the bouse, where they tumbled in and 
died of course. The water being concealed and 
raised by pumps, did not expose the condition of 
things till by its daily use some hundred or more 
of the boarders were suddenly taken sick, doctors 
were called, and a health officer sent for, who were 
not long in discerning the cause. On removing 
the covering to the big cistern it presented thfc 
most sickening sight ever seen. It was literally 
packed with the dead bodies of poisoned rats.— 
Twenty or thirty of the guests were saddenly, and 
some of them severely, affected from the use of 
the water impregnated with the poison. Mr. Bu¬ 
chanan left suddenly for Wheatland, where he ar¬ 
rived, suffering severely from diarrhoea. Dr. J. 
Glanoy Jones, of Berks, was more severely affect¬ 
ed, and was for some time in a critical condition. 
Among the others most severely affected was the 
Hon. John L. Dawson; and it hits been rumored 
that he lias since died. The report, however, needs 
confirmation. 
The editor of the Cleveland (O.) Plaindealer , 
writiug from Washington, Bays:— Mr. Lenox, from 
oar State, was a guest at the house at the time, was 
taken sick, started for home and died on the way. 
No other deaths have been heard of, bnt many of 
the boarders are still very sick. Mr. Buchanan 
lias not yet fully recovered from its effects.

Great Britain. —The total redaction of taxa¬ 
tion proposed in the Chancellor of Exchequer’s 
budget, ia £12,000,000 sterling. 
The Karl Clarendon appealed to Lord Albemarle, 
to postpone Ills motion in regard to the Persian 
War, on the ground that negotiations at Paris were 
makingsatisfactory progress, and might be brought 
to issue at uuy moment. The motion was accor¬ 
dingly postponed. 
We Juarn by the Persia, however, that the Per¬ 
sian difficulty which a few days since appeared in 
a fair way of settlement, has taken an unexpected 
unfavorably turn. Feronk Khan, Persian envoy 
suddenly ceased negotiations with the British min¬ 
ister ill, Paris, anti will not come to London. 
The London Morning Advertiser asserts that

Franck. —The Emperor opened the Legislature 
with it speech from the throne, amid great pomp 
and enthusiasm. The Emperor referred to the 
peacoah e solution of the recent difficulties among 
the vnri ms European powers; and considering 
that, the Lest understanding now prevails between 
all the great powers, thinks the time auspicious to 
endeavor seriously to regulate anti develop the 
strength and riches of the nation at home. He 
rejoices over the prosperous condition of the coun¬ 
try as evinced by largely increased revenues. He 
regrets the suffering caused by the deficient crops 
and recent inundations. He - says the expendi¬ 
tures are to be reduced, and the- war tax abolished 
from January next. The annual army contingent 
is fixed at 100.1)00 men. He says that an appropri¬ 
ation is made for u transatlantic liae of steamers; 
and after referring to sundry local topics, winds 
up with a panegyric upon the state of the Empire, 
The French Government has instructed its Ren- 
resctu itivcs at London, Vienna, Sr. Petersburg!), 
aud Berlin, to invite the powers to accredit their 
resilient Ministers at Paris as Plenipotentiaries to

will meet early in March, but it is feared will be

Gbnesee Valley Canal Extension.—A largely 
attended public meeting was held at the Court 
House, Rochester, on Thursday evening week, at 
which strong resolutions were adopted in favor of 
the bill now pending before the Legislature of this 
State, for the extension of the Genesee Valley 
Canal from Olean to Mill Grove Pond, with a 
view of connecting the Canal with the navigable 
waters of the Alleghany River. The proposed 
improvement is justly* regarded as of great im¬ 
portance to the people of Rochester and Western 
New York, as well as one which promises to add 
largely to the canal revenues of the State. The 
proceedings of the meeting are given at length in 
the local papers.

Tub Quaker City from Havana on the 2f.th ult, 
arrived at Xew York on the 2d inst. 
The carnival, which has been very gav this sea¬ 
son, concluded on the night of the 24th, with a 
grand masquerade ball at the Tacon theatre. 
The health of Havana is excellent, and the con¬ 
tinuation of tine weather has Induced a large por¬ 
tion of the visitors from the United States to pro¬ 
long their stay. 
A slaver had safely landed to the Eastward of 
Havdua with a cargo of 400 negroes. 
A ship under Dutch colors arrived at Havana 
on the 20th, loaded with coolies from the East 
Indies. 
Sugars have a tendency to decline, but as yet 
the prices remain at the last advices. Stock on 
hand, 85,000 boxes. 
The latest Havana letters say that it was again 
reported that a naval demonstration would be made 
against Mexico, and that a frigate would soon sail 
for Vera Gruz. 
The Ueo del Pueblo, of St. Domingo city, of Jan. 
11th, says that the Government of President. Ilaez 
wits taking energetic measures against conspira¬ 
cies, which are supposed to be maturiug. General 
Santa Anna had been conducted to the Capita), 
under an arrest of 300 men, and was immediately 
put in prison. 
An Earthquake.— The people of the Western 
Reserve in Ohio and those of Paris, C. W„ and 
vicinity, think they experienced an earthqnakeone 
day last week. The ground trembled, the houses 
shook, and the crockery' jingled. The Cleveland 
Plaindetiler has seen a private letter from Mr. Jas. 
Jennings, of Lenox, to his son in that city stating 
the same facts. Tho appearance of snow in the 
fields the next morning gave striking evidence of 
the commotion. The snow had been tossed about 
in divers directions, and by a motion which gave 
it the form of large snow-balls.

Thb Virginia Volcano. —It is said Hint tbo 
statement In reference to a volcano having recent¬ 
ly made its appearance in Pendleton county, Vo., 
on tho great Rack-hone Mounl iin, is true.* The 
Cumberland Telegraph says:—“It is at a point on 
the mountain directly between the heads of the 
dry fork of Cheat and the south branch of the 
Potomac rivers, at a place known by the name of 
the ‘Sinks,’ so called from the depressed condition 
of th# mountain at that point. These * Sinks ? are 
funnel-shaped, and each one embraces as much as 
an acre of ground. On the first day of January 
the reports caused by the bursting forth of the 
subterranean fire were heard for a distance of 
twenty or thirty miles. Vast columns of (lame and 
smoke issued from the orifices, and red-hot stones 
were thrown up in the air several hundred feet 
above the mouth of the crater. Onr informant 
adds that the people in the vicinity arc becoming 
alarmed at the pertinacity with which the flames 
arc kept up and the red-hot masses of rocks thrown 
out. A heavy, rumbling noise, like distant thun¬ 
der, is continually reverberating through the deep 
cavern of tho mountain, which at times seems to 
tremble from summit to base.”.
