London-, March 11. The reduction of 12 per cent, in wages, of which the Fife fc lilackmanner colliers have received notice, will make their average wages three .shillings per diem,' which is lower than for many years, but no serious oppo sition to the reduction is anticipated, The Times' Paris correspondent says, contrary to the announcempiit from Mad? r id, the Marquis of Mohns has not ac cepted a second offer, ;of the . portfolio of foreign affairs in the Spanish Cabinet. A Times Pesth dispatch says : "I'ur; porters between the powers as to the vari ous points of treaty with Berlin, which' are still unexecuted, have not yet led to any positive proposals from any quarter, but they have made the apparent necessity of Gndiug some general rule applicable to all cases of difference. It would not be " surprising it the idea of eventual reference of all such matters to Ambassadors, at the -decision of the majority of whom would be final, were revived i as the only means of terminating the tedious negotiations." The daily News' Paris dispatch says the Committee of the Chamber of Deputies have been recommended that the second flection of M. Paul I)e Cassagnac be de clared valid. M. De Fourton, in the impeachment de bate, will demand to be tried and not merely let off with a vote of censure, which he contends that the Chamber of Deputies, not being a judicial body, has no power to pronounce on those no longer in office. M. Pascal Dupratt, presided ut the first meeting of the free trade society, which , intends to have lectures on a great scale , given throughout France. The society is assured of the co-operation of John Bright and of the Cobden Club.; Special dispatches from Paris to. the London papers discredit the statement that the French government have resolved to retire if a majority, on the impeachment question is only obtained by the support of the Right. It is thought, however, that such support is necessary, as the split in the Republican camp has begun to attract general attention. A dispatdi totheReuter Company, from Cairo, says before the formation of the new Egyptian Ministry the British, and French Consul-General presented the iden tical notes, saying that their governments did not ' absolutely insist upon the reten tion of Nubar Pasha in the Ministry, but if the Khedive decided to exclude him, the KhediVe would be held responsible for the maintenance of public tranquility. The Khedive accepted the responsibility. The last re-inforccments for' South" Af rica will leave to-dav; on the steamers An- deon and Prussian.

The Globe mentions the rumor that Rt. non. Geo. J. Goschen, M. P., for the city of London, will be appointed Ambassador at Constantinople. The daily News correspondent, at Ber lin, discussing the renewed rumors of the desolution of the Reichstag,) says: The personal altercations of the last two days, have certainly completed the situation immensely, and if mere personal -irritation were to be considered, Bismarck would have enough reason for promptly appeal . ng to the people, but there is yet no allu sion to douot that the financial measure will at least be submitted to the present Reichstag. The national Zeitung seems to fear an only dissolution. Jtadmits that Bismarck is air powerful in the federal cpancil, which would readily accede if he proposed dissolution. But it adds, a new election would at present, only result in tnefcreation of a Radical party, which now does not exist unless the Socialist can be so considered. This is supposed to re late to the alleged intentions of De Lasker to join the advanced Liberals. Such a coalition of the national and advanced Liberals wonld create a regular and very radical opposition.

Ennis keeps hard at work, he has. made best mile so far in the mateh, in eight minutes twenty seconds. O'Leary goes around the track mechanically.

The Gilmore Garden was crowded to suffocation to-night, over 8,000 persons being present. The most integise excite ment prevails in. connection with the great six days walking contest between O'Leary, Rowell, Harriman and 'Ennis. Rumors are in circulation that O'Leary is down but his trainers deny them and say that his stomach is getting well and his appe tite is improving. O'Leary looks sick and he has not got his old .elastic tread. He seems unable to close up the gap between himself and, Rowell but walks with dogged determination.
