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."

CITY BIMG3M:N.
' 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.

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
