l.oxnov, March 13.—Following the blizzard a severe frost has set iu all over Kniflnml. The frost Is greatly huideriiitf tin? clearing of the railroad 1 in oh wliich were 1»! IH' iiei by snowdrifts lin-ii]r the storm, ornvvall continues isolated from the rest ,,f Knglaud. Jlany wrecks are reporteil to have occurred '11 that eoast, and at Land's lind a number of people havo been frozen to death.

It is already known that at least seventy lives have lost oil* the eoast during the blizzard, ami in addition at least ten

'j.ni-n

perished from eold and ex

posure after reaching tlie shore. It is feared that the list of wrecks and the record of lives lost is far from beingcomplete, as several vessels are known to be missing.

A foreign steamship, the name of wliieli is .unknown, was wrecked off Start I'oint, near Dartmouth. Devonshire, England, during- the recent blizzard. All the crew and passengers were drowned.

The Kritisli .ship Dryad, Captain Thomas, bound from Shields to Valparaiso, has also been wrecked off Start Point. Her crew, consisting'of twentyfour men and oftlcers, have been drowned.

Among- the schooners lost off Start Pqlnt was the I.unesdale. Four of her crew were drowned. Her captain was saved. The schooner Lizzie Ellen was also lost, and two of her crew were drowned.

Many points inland, where the storm was most severely felt, are still isolated from the surrounding country, and days must elapse before through freight and passenyer traffic aro entirely restored on the branch lines of the railroads.

The severity of the storm and the diilieulty of restoring- the linos of communication to their usual slate of usefulness may bo judged from the fact that an express train which left Plymouth i.n

Monday is still blocked up near

the Hrent river. The passengers are suffering severely from exposure. Hangs of laborers numbering hundreds have been sent from all directions to clear the railroad lines in Devonshire and Cornwall, where the snowdrifts have piled np so heavily that cuttings 12 feet deep liave to be made through the snow, which is now frozen into an almost solid mass.

The loss to farm stock is enormous, and will entail much suffering among the farmers, \vl» have already lost considerable money by the terrible weather experienced at the end of last year.

The water mains at Plymouth are snowed up to such an extent that a force of 200 soldiers from the garrison has been sent to assist the water works employes in clearing them to an extent which will enable them to be used. As it Is no water has passed through the mains since Monday last, and a water famine is now added to the other .sufferings which the people of Plymouth have had to endure through the terrible blizzard which has caused so much distress iu England.

Insecurity caused by the troubles of the Barings and the Argentine crisis has been still further accentuated by unfavorable reports regarding the Society des Depots d" Escomptes Courants, of Paris. It was freely »»id that the house was in a critical condition owing to severe reverses suffered during the recent difficulties of Baring Bros., and the panic at Ituenos Ayres. The report was that the bank hail on hand only 11.000.000 francs with which to meet claims amounting to «8,000,000. and that M. Deuon, the managing director, had made application to Minister of Finance Kouvier to advance the .'0,000,000 of which the institution was short. M. Kouvier. it was said, in his anxiety to save the society, asked the bank of France |o come In lie rescue, but was refused. Then the finance minister called a meeting of the leading financiers of Paris wit'i a view of making such an arrangement as that which enabled the Harings to tide over their troubles, in that effort lie succeeded, 00,000,000 francs having been advanced.

strange

presentiment held bv a minister of Basco seems to have been fulfilled. He was holding a revival at Hasco some months ago, and during the meetings took occasion to refer to a strange feeling that had taken possession of him. It was to the effect that some members of the community would sopn meet death or1 accident in various manners. Not long after the revival a little boy was thrown from a horse and killed and a railroad brakeman was killed at Hasco. Among the preacher's auditors were the members of a bridge gang, and the following members of that gang have since met death or accident as follows: C. H. Thompson was killed bj' cars at Woodville. P. II. I.oed was killed by handcar. Dick Itatell was nearly killed by the cars. August Mannisser fell from a bridge and was badly hurt, Ed Batcll cut three toes off one foot with an adz. lie also fell from a scaffold and broke his arm and in a few weeks again fell from a scaffold, breaking his arm again in the same place.

that information has been received at lfapjburg by private cablegrams from Chili to the effect that President Halmaoeda has been murdered.

March 13. -The cable

dispatches of Thursday containing rumors that President Halmaeeda, of Chili, had been assassinated were shown to merchants directly interested in South American trade. No news of any character on affairs in Chili hail been received during the day either from Chilian or Brazilian sources, und the statement that President Balmaceda had been killed created intense interest. A member of the firm of William |{. Grace A. Co. said: '•Of course, no nows ol the revolution fa CUM «ould create nuich surprint) in the mercantile fcorld Just now, for ulmost anything'ts likely to ocour with the country In Its present disturbed condition. The report of the assassination of President Hjlmucedn hus nut reached lis, but It may lie true fur all tbiit. The abaenca of news would not be considered us negativing the report for the renson that business transactions between this country and Ohtlt aro entirely cut ull by the course of the revolutions, and one of the Incidents of the war Is the recent suspension of news reports direct from that country. If it true it Is decidedly Important from a puroly conimcrciul standpoint. It would undoubtedly cause the immediate ending of the revolution, the inauguration of an administration by the insurgent leaders and the reestabllshment o( foreign trade relations. The removal of llalmnceda in the manner indicated would pinctica'.ly wipe out his ndmlnlstruilon, and the majority of the national congress, beta* in sympathy with the insurgents and their oause, would have a tendency to euivy them to •uccess."

Mr. Charles li. Flint, of Flint Jfc Co., had not heard nl the reported assassination of President Ualmaceda, but expressed much concern over tho news. He feared it might lie true, but was not prepared til venture an opinion. About midnight Mr. Flint meta member of the Chilian legation at the Hoffman house who had come direct from Washington. That official said there was no confirmation of the report of the killing of President Balmaceda. and he discredited the news. The latest advices were favorable to the government.

Letters have been received from Chili giving additional details of the rebellion in that atllicted country. The latest lettar follows:

SANTIAGO, Feb. li A bloody battle has been fought at PisiiKtia. The rebels were defeated, having forty killed and thirty-four wounded. Their commander. Col. Sulvudor Vermiru, was Seriously wounded, but was carried nwny by bis soldiers. The government rcntlnues to exile till persons who are in r.uy way Inclined toward the reb'is. Hotli natives and for. etgners are suffering. Several German and Knglieli merchants have been yivea thirty-six hours in which to leave the country forever A surprise has been the decree of the governttont expelling from the country the representative ot foreign nation—the consul of Austria at Valparaiso. Tile consul, It seems, was very much inclined toward the rebels, and' ip an unguarded moment stated his feelings tnd opinion of llalmnceila to a friend. "A terrible disaster took place at Poj-t Coronet. It was about :l o'clock in tho afternoon whan the Esmeralda appeared In the harbor and demanded the surrender of the town. This was refused. A perfect bhower of grape and oanistar was followed by solid shot. The people tied to the heights for safety,' while seme took P'Tu^e in tho railroad Station. A shot struck the station. This was followed by several others, and before anybody oouhl cscapc the roof and the wall fell In, burying 200 persons In the ruins. Sixty-seven dead bodies were taken out and about 10) persons were more or less Injured. The blockade of Valparaiso is beginning to toll. Provisions aro scarce and expensive. Tile two cruisers which are now blocking the port keep up an incessant vigilance and nothing can get in or «ut. A desultory tiro Is kept up. which is far more fatal than a bombardment. "Ool. Annlbul Naraujo. who was taken prisoner by the revolutionists at the battle of Ovalle, was shot by them. The government forces thereupon marshaled out ilfty revolutionSri' prisoners and put them to death."
