SECOND EDITION. BY TELEGRAPH'. THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON ON MEXICO. DESTBUOTIVE FIRE IN NEW JERSEY. THE CAPITAL OF KENTUCKY. Reported Declarations of Napoleon about Blexico. NEW YORK, January 26.—The Daily :Yews has \received a special Washington despatch, stating that a private letter from a gentleman in Paris, dated January 4th, has been received in Washington, describ ing a recent interview between Napoleon and Minister Bigelow. The Emperor spoke frankly on the Mexican question, and ex pressed a determination to preserve friendly relations with the United States, and his wish to withdraw the French troops as soon as he could be assured that our policy of neutrality toward Mexico would be con tinued. He intimated, however, very plainly that he would not abandon Maxi milian as long as there was any -danger that the 'United States would pull down what he had built up at so much expense. .All he asked was that we should not inter fere with the present government of Mexico, the permanence and stability of which, if left to itself, -he was convinced could be secured. The correspondence adds: "I have reason to believe that despatches from Mr. Bigelow, containing a fall report of his in terview, was received by the State Depart ment•by the last steamer."

' THE TATE' OBSTRUCTION ON THE GER .34NTONVIT ItAILICOAD;- . -ATTEEPTING TO Ex- TORT Mownr.—A - - young man --named Thomas West was before Alderman Beitler this morning, upon the charge of attempting to extort money , from -the Philada., Ger mantown and Norristown Railroad Com pany. It seems that on the 20th of De cemner last, West made an affidavit before Adderman Plankinton, declar ing that on the 18th of that month, be bad discoved obstructions upon the track of the Germantown branch of the road near Wayne station, that he had , attempted to remove them, but had been stoned and driven off by a party of men; and that he ran to the telegraph station at the Reading Railroad from which he had signaled the train to stop. The affidavit was taken to Mr. W. S. Wilson, the General Superintendent of the road, who gave West ten dollars. Subse quently Mr. Wilson received an anonymous letter purporting to have been written by one of the passengers on the train which was stopped. The substance of the letter was that the Company was mean in giving West ten dollars ' instead of $lOO and that a public meeting of the citizens of Germantown would be held to take' up a subscription for West for his, valuable services. This letter did not have the desired effect and another mode was resorted to to excite sympathy for West. A day or two after the Watts , murder and when the minds of the people , of Germantown were greatly excited . upon the subjfict, a piece of paper was posted upon a tree in front of the Chew property. This paper contained the following words: "Puppies beware of this. The next murder that is done in German town 'will be the young man that moved away the obstructions on the Germantown railroad—catch us if you can." This fell into the hands of Lieut. Dungan of the Twenty-second Ward Police, and the subject then underwent an investi gation by Chief Franklin and Detective George N. Levith. West who worked at the factory of John Noons, at Nicetown, alleged that he had been shot at a few days ago through the window, and produced a. piece of the lead somewhat in the shape of a minis ball. A woman who resides within a few feet of the factory heard the shot but saw nobody about, and an exami nation showed that there was smoke from the powder on the inside, and that the window was broken from that side. The letter received by Mr. Wilson, and the notice pasted on the tree, were in the same handwriting, and had been written by Mrs. West by direction of her husband. A sheet of paper similar to that on which the notice was written was found in West's house. The defendant was committed in default of $1,500 to answer. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN THE SIXTH WARD. —Last evening about half-past eight o'clock a fire broke out in the extensive hardware store of R. Q. W. C. Bidddle it Co., No. 131 Market street. The flames were first dis covered by officer Scranton of the Sixth Ward, and had evidently been burning for some time. An alarm was immediately sounded, but owing to the shocking bad condition of the streets, the firemen labored under great di ffi culty both in reaching the scene of the conflagration, and in:getting into service. The flames spre ad rapidly through the building, and the whole structure was soon enveloped. It was found impossible to save the property, and the firemen turned their attention to the adjoining premises, and, although the fire burned stubbornly until about eleven o'clock, it was confined mainly to the building in which it origi nated. The store of Biddle ct.. Co. was four stories in height and extended through to Jones's alley, a distance of about 150 feet. It was filled from the cellarto the:roof with every description of hardware and cutlery. The stock is said to have been the largest of any similar establishment in the city, and is es timated to have been worth over a hundred thousand dollars. When the fire was at its height the scene was grand. The flames belched forth from the windows, back and front, and shot high into the heavens, causing a light which was visible for miles about the city. A dense black smoke enveloped the streets in the neighborhood in which the conflagration was raging : : The adjoining properties, though in great danger, were saved by the admirable man ner m which the fire was managed by the firemen. The flames worked into the fourth story of store No. 129, occupied by Roberts & Macaltioner, wholesale grocers, and got among some old papers, but they were speedily extinguished. The store was com pletely deluged with water, and the cellar was pretty well filled. The stock was con siderably damaged. The stock of seeds of Mr. C. B. Rogers,the occupant of No. 133, was considerably damaged by water. The rear part of this buildinglwas damaged by fire. No. 135, occupied by Messrs. Fleming & Martien, wholesale grocers, was not much damaged, but their stock in the basement suffered greatly. Some of it, in the upper part of the building, was damaged by water. The building in which the fire originated was owned by the Messrs. Biddle and was valued at $35,000, upon which there is an insurance of $25,000—510,000 in the Hand and Hand, and $15,000 in the London and Liverpool companies. The stock of the firm was valued at $llO,- 000, and was insured for $lOO,OOO in the North American, Delaware Mutual, Penn sylvania, American, Philadelphia,. Reli ance, and several New York companies. The damage to the Stock of Roberts & Macaltioner was by water, and is fully in sured in the Delaware Mutual and Penn sylvania Insurance Companies. The losses of Mr. Rodgers and Fleming it Martin, who also suffered by water, are likewise covered by insurance. A HORSE THIEF JIIMPS FROM A TRAIN AND ESCAPES.—A man named William Bradley, who was convicted of horse steal ing in Lancaster county and sentenced to an imprisonment of six years in the Eastern Penitentiary, escaped from a train on the Pennsylvania Railroad. Bradley was hand-cuffed with another horse thief and when the train had reached Thirty-eighth street, the last named slipped the handcuffs off. - The officer in charge se cured him, but Bradley quickly leaped through the window of the car. He ran in a southerly direction, struck the Haver fordtk roa , passed through - Haddington and crossed he county line. His 'course was traced b the Twenty-fourth Ward police, by his cks in the snow, but they were soon afterwards lost. 139 k 139igi 139 ft .TUDGI E FHOMPSON'S FIINERAL.—The fune ral of on.

SNOWDEN £ BROTHER, Importers, 23 South Eighth stmt. BnoNzz Ink Stands, Fans, Card Ready ars, Jewel Ceakete, Cigar Owes, Cutlery, etc. SNOWDEN & BRTHER, The appearance of the cholera, or of a disease resembling; it, in some of the West Indian islands, may suggest to our quarantine authorities the necessity for extra precautions and scrutiny. Perhaps we should find it more difficult to en force an effectual quarantine against West India trading vessels than against almost any others. They are numerous, and comprise all sorts of craft, which slip in and out of port comparatively unnoticed. The scanty intelligence which we glean from our Jamaica and Bermuda exchanges does not make it certain the cholera itself has reached any of the islands. A disease resembling it and not less malignant or fatal than the cholera made its first appearance at Point-a-Pitre, on the island of Guada loupe, on the 22d October, and extended thence to Martinique. A ship from Marseilles is reported to have brought it to Gaudaloupe. The Bermuda Gazette reports 375 deaths from the 19th to the 23d November, the number at Point-a- Pitre alone being 14.5. A letter dated at that town on the 16th reckoned the deaths at 30 to 35 daily. The disease was first supposed to be a fever peculiar to swampy places, but developed into a much more virulent form. there were not laborers enough to bury the 'dead, and the Governor was obliged to call in the military. Half the people had abtua doped the town. There are no particulars of the actual presence of this disease at any other of the islands. The Governor of Guada loupe.at its first outbreak sent word to the neighboring authorities, and a rigid quarantine has been ever since enforced. The mail steamers neither receive nor land passengers there, and the mails are fumigated before being opened. The latest repert from Guadaloupe avers that the deaths average 131 a aay. There may be some exaggeration in this, but it is well to be on the safe side in the matter of precautions. Gov. Fenton yesterday sent a timely message to the Legislature, transmitting the report of the Quarantine Commis sioners and Health Officer, and calling attention to the request of the Commis sioners for money to provide temporary facilities such as are- now wanting at quarantine. The sum required, $50,000, is a trifle when the importance of the subject and the possible results of neg lect are considered. The want of a suita ble place for detention of quarantined passengers was keenly feltin the Atlanta case, and in one way, or another ought to be immediately supplied.— N. Y. Tri bune.
