ALBANY, April 5. The following ia a summary of news per Shannon :

A most serious riot occurred at New Ross, Ireland, on the night of the 26th February. A band of young men oreated a disturbance outside the Town Hall. They were dispersed, but again assembled in large numbers and set on the police, who were compelled to summon reinforcements. When the latter arrived they oharged the orowd with fixed bayonets, and several rioters were injured, as well as some of the police. Fresh orders have since been issued, entitling Magistrates to disperse Nationalist meetings at five minutes' notice. Regarding the foreign outlook, it may be said that the true note of the situation was struck by Count Kalnoky, who, in a speech in support of the extraordinary military credit Wore the Austrian Delegation yesterday, said the general position of Europe was that the workings and counter workings between the East and West had so strongly the stamp of uncertainty that it behoved all States to strengthen their power of defence. Austria continues massing troops in Gallicia, and Russia is about to effect an increase in her army.

The details of the rising in Bulgaria, as announced by cable, show that the outbreak at Silistria was entirely the work of the commandant, who was killed by his own men on the arrival of the Government troops before the town. The rising at Rustchuk was more serious than was generally known. The insurgent officers after arresting the garrison and officers appeared before the infantry barracks and summoned their surrender, but the soldiers refused. Shots were thereupon exchanged, and the military rose against the mutineers, who, after a long and sanguinary conflict, were driven to the Danube, where they tried to escape in boats, but were stopped by a gunboat. Nearly all the insurgents in the boats were killed or drowned.

Although a great number of persons were killed by the recent earthquake in the South of France, the number has now been proved to be less than was atfirst thought. Information which has been received shows the widespread and destructive nature of the catastrophe. In the Riviera the panic has not yet ended, and in many towns the population, fearing to enter their houses, prefer to camp in the street, in railway cars, and even bathing machines. The official Italian returns show that about 700 persons were killed, 400 injured, and 20,000 persons rendered homeless. The national losses amount to L 200,000. The earthquake was felt, though not so severely as in the Riviera, over an enormous area. Vibrations were registered by seismoscopes at Rome, Geneva, Paris, Kew, and Washington. Sharp shocks, although without causing damage, were felt at Charleston, Sunnyville, and also in Austria and Bulgaria. Shocks have occurred in the Riviera almost every day since the great catastrophe. The French Colonisation Society have decided to send twenty-five families to the New Hebrides to start a settlement there.
