Ten thousand six hundred bales were offered at to-days Wool auction, and a fair demand was experienced. Paris, March. 18. The French Press generally urge that negotiations should be re-opened between England and France for conclusion of fresh commercial treaty. Melbourne, March 18. At Windsor Slation, on thesurburban line of railway, a train of empty waggons, which was standing iu the station yard, was run into by an express train, the passengers in the latter, were much shaken, and several of them suffered slight injuries.
