SATURDAY, January 22. Some of the telegraphic reports mention that "Sardinia and France have concluded an offensive and defensive alliance," and the intelligence has naturally greatly increased the previous excitement. The Paris Bourse closed very flat yesterday, on this report being made known. The Daily News Correspondent in Paris, writing on Thursday evening, says: "Notwithstanding the almost positive announcement in a leading article of your most powerful contemporary-that all chances of war are at an end-I believe there is no change whatever in the situation. Preparations on a grand scale are going on, the furloughs to which soldiers would in due course be now entitled are adjourned. Several regiments have received orders to hold themselves in readiness for Rome, and not a reliable word has been uttered to allay the panic which, in spite of necessary ups and downs, still reigns supreme at the Bourse."

FATAL ACCIDENTS BY FIRE.-On Monday morning a fire broke out on the premises of Mr Holdstock, 3 Park place, Haggerstone. The inmates were aroused by shrieks for help issuing from the bed-room; on entering they found Mrs Holdstock wrapped in fire. An alarm was raised, when the police were dispatched for the engines. In the meantime Mrs Holdstock's clothing was extinguished, but such are the extensive injuries she has received that not the slightest hopes are entertained of her recovery. The fire was caused by her clothing taking fire from the spark of a candle.-The Fifeshire Advertiser reports the two following cases:-At Freuchie. the other evening, Mrs Henderson was seated by her fireside in company with another female, Consols for Money when her dress took fire, and before the flames could be extinguished, she was so severely burned that she died.-Last week, a girl of the name of Marshall was severely burned at Prinlaws, by her clothes becoming ignited, from the effects of which she died shortly afterwards.
