Th" stone was found in South Africa, and was imported by a New York firm. Its weight in the rough was nearly 125 karats. The gem, as perfected, is very brilliant and beautiful, though it is not perfect in color, a marked yollowish ting* prevailing. As cut it weighs «ventv-seven karats. It is cut in a rounded cushion shape, with fifty-si? facets, its size being nearly a full inch across and a little more than five-eighths of an inch in depth. The yellowish tingo disnppears in artificial light. The value of the stone, which is about two-thirds as large as i he Koltfnoor liamond, cannot be stated, as diamonds of unusual size have no absolute value. Byraousb, N.

The Bntisli government paid no attention to Ihe resolution, though informed of it, and six days after it was introduced O'Donpell was hanged. In the house the call of states for the introduction of bills and joint resolutions for reference will probrbly not occupy more than a couple of hour* After this it is thought the committees may bo called upon for reports. Bhould this order of business be concluded early the house will likely go into committee of the whole. It is said an effort will be made to take up the bill for the re lief of Fiti John Porter, which the committee on military affairs recently agreed to report favorably; but the Dingley shipping bill will undoubtedly be given preference over all others. Several speeches will be delivered on this measure; and its consideration will occupy the house tor soma days. Th« bill has many friends, and is generally conceded to cover the wants of the shipping interests. The committee on accounts may finish the work of assigning clerks to the committees. In this event a report will bC made to the house, and some discussion may arise respecting the assignments agreed upon in committee. There is a disposition to reduce the .number of clerks by assigning among tha minor the work of two committees to one clerk. The principal standing committees will be Allowed the same clerical force as heretofore. Under its provisions the construction company was to lDe paid $200,000 n mile for every mile of double track road built by it. It is stipulated in the contract that the con struction company shall receive its pay iu stock and bonds of the road, or preferred if any shall be issuod. Then follows n clause which declares in effect that if the proceeds arising from the sale of the stock and bands shall not be sufficient to pay tlio construction company tho amount a mile agreed upon for the construction of the road, the construction company shall not suifer any lois. This is equivalent to a guarantee that tho West Shore Railroad company will indemnify the construction company against all loss. PlTTKBUiiu, Pa., Jan. 14.—A tljet of sixty three loaded boats, containing over 1,000,00*1 bushels of coal, broke Joosj from  landiug on the Mononghela river and wen; adrift Two tug boats were at' once doubu manned and started in pursuit of tho fleet. The loss lias not yet ascertained, the number of barges captured by the tugs being yet unknown. Fngltlve Coal Boats. Some days ago a strange story came to the ears of certain members of the committee on foreign affairs. Jf was that Mr. Hewitt had told tho British nuuister, Mr. West,' that, hi had offered that to preveut u more belligerent one fi oiu being offered, ano that it was meaningless, and there was notb ing in it at all calculated to disturb the friendly relations between the two countries. Mr. West asked Mr. Hewitt if he was ai liberty to niako such use of tho information as seemed wise, and Mr. Hewitt consenting, he telegraphed the substance of it to the London home office. With such a private hint as this the home office concluded thai there was no need of paying any attention to the matter. . *4 '-i^, no«n Khartoum'* Crisis Approaching. Cairo, Jau. 14.—Toe new minister of tlif far. Abed el Kader, is about to leave for Khartoum to superintend the evacuation of hat place by the Egyptian troops. It is reported here that muny rebel chiefs ill the •ountry between Suakim on the Red sea and Berber on the Nilo have renounced their alegiance to El Mahdi and are on their way to Khartoum to make submission to tho Egyptian authorities. The rebels in the Souilan have captured and burned the town of Heljuau and are now marching on Musalimia tud RufoZ, both of which are river towns on the B.ue Nile, about 10U miles above its junction with the White Nile at Khartoum. A large force of El Mahdi's army -is also ad vancing from his stronghold at El Obeid into lie Kabbabish country in the north of Korlofan, which extends as far east as the river Nile and as far north as Khartoum. Cincinnati, O., Jan. 14.—Private Ulograms reoeivei here from points on the &k and Kanawa rivers state that all danger CDi further damages for ttaa.present is past, The loss thus far will foot up about 11.00,00J, an.C this amount will probably be reduced considerably, as two borate are busy picking uj runaway barges and timber. "The guarantee, however, amounts practically to nothing when the guarantor is. unable to pay," said a gentleman who is well acquainted with the affairs of the West Shore and the North River Construction companies. "I believe the construction company has a valid claim upon tho road. By the terms of the contract tho road was not to be turned over to the West Shore company until- the construction company was paid for its work, but while the construction company was building tho road,* and even before it had begun to build some portions of it, the West Shore company mortgaged it, placing a lien thereby on property which they had put in the jwssession of others and had agreed to leave there until they were paid in full. You may be assured that the claim of the North - River Construction company on tho road is a strong one and that it will appear V) before long. The construction company owes over $500,000 to contractors and merchants ill this city, and owes contractors all the way from Syracuse to Buffalo several uifllkins of dollars. , N«w York, Jan. 14.—The North River Construction company, which built the Vfrnt Shore road, has beenplaced in the bands of a receiver. On Saturday avening Mr. Lacy, of the firm of Ward, Mackin & Co., of Newburg, contractors and creditors of the company, applied to Chancellor Runyon, of Now Jersey, for the appointment of a receiver of the construction company. The chancellor appointed Judge Ahhbel Green, a member of the law firm of Alexander & Green, who resides at Tenafiy, N. J. The appointment was made with the knowledge and assent of the company, which was represented by Counsellor Jau.es B. Vreden burgh. A special to The Times from Port Pleasant, W. Va., says the ice gorge from Elk rivei passed here after midnight Saturday. In' it were nine coal barges and a wharf boat. At this place two boats loaded with coal and one boat load of «tavo3 were lost; also t number of empty coal boats. Lt tilings along the riv*r are reported much damaged. Such is the story as it was placed with Borne detail before the members of the committee on foreign affairs. Oil informally looking into it, the impression was forceu upon these members that there was souu busis for the Btory. "Yet it involved such ac accusation of duplicity and perversion of duty that the members of the connniUae fntt that Mr. Hewitt would be able to makt some explanation, when the subject was. brought to his attention, as wouTd bo consistent with his reputation for Integrity ol conduct. Mr. Hewitt's statement, however, does not agree with that made by the British minister.

Auything short of a. prohibitory tariff would simply result in the procuring of wines through B#glish agent* at a small percentile 4f increase in price. One lflfige dealer said:—"A slight increase in the tax on cheap Rhino tMnes would avail nothing, but if (2 Mr gallon should be added tbe remit would tie to drive such wines out of the market and might cause both Franc* and Qerniany to reconsider their action on the pork.question, and not seek to keep out all shipments without any discriminations a* to quality," The interviews with the wholesale dry goods men generally were to the effect that an increase In the duty on dry goods would not have any effect iu inducing the two nations to modify their orders ol ■ restriction against American pork.

Among the things which have worked •gainst tbe West Shore baa been the prompt and decisive action of Vanderbilt in cutting down the local freight and passenger charges along the satire length of the Central, ani thus preventing any large diversion of its traffic to the West Shore.

He is reported as stating some time ago that he had been offered tbe control of the road, but had declined it. He wasn't "buying any more roads."
