Extraordinary Eire.—A load of thirtyeight bales of wool from Ardgower station, with a waggon, owned by Mr Wood, were completely burned in transit to Dunedin, between Cromwell and Clyde. Every effort to save tlie property was unavailing. The cause of the fire was spontaneous combustion. It has been definitely decided to place Aden in a thorough state of defence. This decision is due, it is said, to representations made by the Prince of Wales after his late visit to the fortress on his way to India.
The Russian official paper states that since the mobilisation of the army nine months ago there have been only three capital sentences in a host of 200,000 men. One was passed on the soldier who attacked M. Pognon, correspondent of the Havas agency, the second was for insulting an officer, and the third for desertion.
