“ Well, ma'am," replied Jonathan, “ I guess you’d better buy one that haint got no lookin’ glass.’’ “Can you return my love, dearest Julia?” “ Most certainly, sir.

It is with the diseases of the mind, as with those of the body—we are half dead before we understand our disorder, and half cured when we do. A YOUNG London swell, whilst waiting for the train at York, went into a tavern, and cast about for some amusement. Feeling secure in the possession of the most money, he made the following offer: “I will drop money into a hat with any man in the room. The man who holds out the longest shall take the whole and treat the company.” “I’ll do it,” said an old farmer. The cockney dropped in a shilling; the farmer followed with another. “Go on,” said the cock ney, dropping in another. “ I wont,” said the Yorkshireman; “take the whole, and treat the company.” Austria should pause before pitching into the Sardines. If the Allies should get Hung(a)ry she may have "other fish to fry." The happiest climate does not produce all things; and it was so ordered that one part of the earth should want the products of another, for uniting mankind in a general correspondence and good understanding.

A lady being asked to waltz, gave the fol lowing sensiblo and appropriate answer: “ No, thank you, sir—l have hugging enough, at home.” An old lady was in tho habit of talking to Jerrold in a gloomy, depressing manner, present ing to him only the sad side of life; “Hang it,” said Jerrold, one day, after a long and sombre interview, “she wouldn’t allow there was a bright side to the moon!” PERSONAL S. Austin Allibone, author of the “Dictiona ry of Authors,” lately received a complimentary letter from Lord Macaulay, in which he declares this work to be “far superior to any other of the kind in our language." Old M. Ingres has got the kink in his head that everybody is trying to give him alms I He has always looked upon himself as a misused man, and now he says : “If I had not made a fortune iu my younger days, I should starve now ; nobody will buy anything by me now.” Ho made this remark to Baron de Rothschild, recently, while the latter was looking at a draw ing by M. Ingres. He said to the artist: “why, M. Ingres, I will give you fifteen thousand francs for this drawing.” The painter snatched the drawing out of the banker's hands, whining, “All! M. de Rothschild, I see what you are after; you seek a pretext for giving me alms !” Humboldt’s Library.— Mr. Wrigiit, Ameri can Embassador at tho Court of Berlin, has of fered fifty thousand thalers for the library left by Alexander von Humboldt. It is not prob able that, under the pressure of the present times, he will meet with many, if any, competi tors in Prussia or Germany. The inheritor of these literary treasures is the late valet of the deceased philosopher, who, from the nature of his circumstances, cannot be expected to wait any length of time for tho realization of the be quest. Thus, it is probable that the tools and implements, as it were, of the greatest mind workman of modern Europo will be removed to the United States. How a Printer Rose. —The Lincolnshire (England) Times says: William Henry Adams, Esq., of Boston, in this country, the new Attor ney General for Hong Kong, has ascended the social scale to his present position thus: Com positor, reader, reporter, sub-editor, editor, and newspaper proprietor; barrister, member of Parliament, Colonial Attorney General. He is an example under our own eyes of what a man of moderate abilities, and a fair share of indus try and energy, may accomplish in this much abused aristocratic England of ours. M. Alfred de Vigny has a trick of asking everybody he meets: “Well, what is said about me ?” An amusing story is told of this old hab it. He met a friend in the garden of the„Tuil leries the morning after the Revolution of Feb ruary, while the mob wore in possession of the palace. He said to his friend: “I have just reached Paris. What a disaster! What a ca tastrophe ! Ah I what do people say about me ?” Os course, Alfred de Vigny was the last person thought of at that terrible moment.

DOMESTIC SUMMARY. The city was horrified yesterday morning with a report that an accident, attended with unusual loss of life, had happened near Mishwauka, about eight miles from this city, to the express train on the Michigan Southern railroad, which left the depot in Chicago, on Tuesday evening, at 8 o’clock P. M., with something near one hundred and fifty passengers in the five cars—two second class and three first class cars—of which the train was made up. When the train came around a slight curve to this ravine, the embankment had already washed away, and tho whole train leaped into the chasm left behind, which was about twenty five feet deep, and sixty or eighty feet wide. The culvert evidently choked up, converting the embankment into a dam, the water rapidly accu mulating, as can be seen by the marks of its rise, nearly as high as the railroad track, and its great weight at last tore out the obstruction, and instead of the iron rails, there was wawn ing cleft or gap, with a wild and angry torrent dashing through it toward the river. The lo comotive buried itself in the loose sand of the bank, and the baggage car, which was torn into kindling wood, piled its fragments upon it. Oyer this was the second class car, the only thing visi ble, so deeply were the others imbedded. The three passenger cars which followed them, fell into the torrent below the railroad track. The sleeping car, which was the last one of tho train, was but little injured, and no one in it killed. About one hundred and fifty persons were on the train; of these sixty have been taken from the ruins dead, and fifty or sixty more wounded, or escaped unhurt; the rest not heard from, as many of the dead were drowned in the ravine. Chicago Press , June 29. Loss of the Steamer Aha go.—Safety of the Passengers and Crew. —The steamship Arago, which left New York for Galway, Ire land' on Thursday, the 23d inst., went ashore, in Trepassey Bay, in a fog, Tuesday night last, and was wrecked. She had seventy-nine cabin passengers, and one hundred and seventy-six in the steerage, of which number at least one hundred were women. Among those on board was Miss Haywood, the vocalist, who lost her wardrobe, as did nearly all the other passengers. The passengers were rescued by steam-tugs from St. Johns, N. F. The New York Herald says: The Arago was considered as a first class screw steamship, added to the fleet of ocean steamers which now comprise the Galway line. She arrived here from Galway, via St. Johns, N. F., on Monday, the 13th June. She was sold to the Atlantic Steam Navigation Company for a very high figure. She was four years old. ranked A 1 at Lloyd’s, and was one of the strongest propellers afloat. She was an iron, bark-rigged steamer, of two thousand two hun dred and forty tons register, and three thousand two hundred tons burthen. She was divided into five water-tight compartments by four bulk heads, and she was well provided against fire or any other accident. Her length over all was two hundred and eighty feet, her breadth of team thirty-seven feet, and her depth of hold thirty five feet. Her machinery was massive, and was four hundred and forty horse power. She had three decks, and was permitted by the British regulations to carry one thousand and forty-five passengers. Os these, her first cabin had accomodations for one hundred and twenty, and the second cabin one hundred. Her saloon was large and well furnished, and provided with tables at which one hundred and fifty persons could conveniently dine. St. Johns, July I.—The Argo’s passengers have arrived here safe. The steam tugs left again to-day to bring up the crew and what was saved from the wreck. The following are the particulars of the dis aster: Between 3 and 4 o'clock, Tuesday morning, the Argo made Capo Pine, bearing twelve miles dis tant. The Pilot, Captain, and all tho officers were called on deck at sight of land, and the course of the steamer was changed immediately, and made S. E. by E. This should have cleared her fifteen miles from Capo Race. About fifteen minutes past 4 o'clock a very denso fog camo up. * At half past 5 o’clock the Captain spoke the fishing schooner, stopped the engines and revers ed them, and asked “ where are you fishing ?” to which the answer was “on tho eastern side of Trepassey Bay, a mile and a half or two miles off.” The Captain then ordered tho helm hard a port and the engineers to go on at full speed, and to keep S. S. E. by the standard compass. This should have taken her clear of land. Tho Captain and all the officers were on deck. The officers in charge at the wheel gave the order “ steady” as the ship was brought up to her S. S. E. At that moment the breakers were seen and the engines were stopped and reversed at full speed, but before the ship got stem way she grounded her bow on the rocks at Fresh Water Point, eight miles from Trepassey. The boats were lowered and got ready, when tho passengers embarked with but little con fusion, tho women and children first. The an chors were then passed out at the stern, the coals were thrown overboard, and the forward boilers were blown off, and every exertion made to get her off but without avail. Tho Captain now sent off the pilot to Trepas sey to get assistance, when the steamers Daunt less and Blue Jacket were dispatched immedi ately. The sails, etc., were sent ashore, and tents made to protect the passengers, and when provisions and baggage could be got they were also sent on shore. The fishermen soon commenced plundering the ship. A hundred of them came round upon hearing her signal guns, and they cut away her masts, and completely skinned her. At four o'clock, P. M., the ship filled and fell on her beam ends in six fathoms water. The baggage of many of the passengers was lost.— There was no houso within eight miles of the shore where the vessel struck. At 5 P. M., a boat returned from Trepassy with assurances that two steamers were on the way from St. Johns to take off the passengers. Southern Line of Steamships from Boston. —A meeting was held in Boston on Thursday last, at which one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars was subscribed by the mer chants to establish a line of steamships to South ern ports. The stock required is two hundred dollars. Tho remainder is expected to be sub scribed at Savannah or Charleston. As soon as this sum is certain, or its amount supplied, the Company will be organised and commence oper ations. Washington, July 2.— The Post Office De partment has made arrangements by which the mails hitherto conveyed by the steamship Isa bel between Charleston, Savannah, Key West, and Havana, will hereafter be sent via Fernan dina, over the Florida railroad, and Key West to Havana and back. The contract with the pro prietors of the Isabel expired on Thursday. Bloxdin’B Great Feat at Niagara Falls. — Blondin accomplished on Thursday tho great feat of walking across the Niagara river, on a tight rope, in the presence of a crowd variously estimated at from five to ten thousand persons. He first crossed from the American side, stop ping midway to refresh himself with water raised in a bottle with a rope from the deck of the steamer Maid of the Mist The time occu pied in the first crossing was seventeen and a half minutes. The return from the British to the American side was accomplished in twelve minutes. The rope was made in New York to order, and is over one thousand one hundred feet in length. As something like one hundred feet covers the shore, we may safely say that the part covering the gorge is at least one thousand. This rope is a trifle more than two inches in di ameter, and was drawn with the blocks and windlass as tight as it could be without risk of parting. The depression was perhaps sixty feet below a true line, and as the Canadian bank is some twenty feet or more higher than the Ame rican, the greatest depression was nearer the latter than the former. This rope was stayed from side sway by small guys of half inch rope, of which two thousand seven hundred feet we r e used. They were fastened to the main rope in pairs, about twenty feet apart, ran diagonally to the shore on either side, where they were made fast to trees. Only two guys ran down to keep the rope from an upward movement. The rope and guys cost six hundred and fifty dollars, and purchased chiefly by subscriptions made at the Falls. St. Louis, July 1. — The first grand experi mental air voyage to the seaboard took place from Washington ' Square this evening, Professors Wise, Lamountain, and Gager having made a successful ascension in the mammoth balloon, “Atlantic.” At 6:40 P. M., the inflation of the balloon was finished, having been witnessed by thousands of citizens, while the square on the side of the enclosure was thronged with excited spectators, and the voyage was commenced. Wm. Hyde, reporter of the Republican , accom panied the ieronauts, but should his weight prove an obstruction to the passage of the bal loon, he will be landed at a favorable point, and this course will be repeated, if necessary to'the accomplishment of the end in view, until all the party excepting one, together with the boat are landed, Mr. Wise being determined to reach the Atlantic coast, if such a thing is possible. Its course was East by North. The Troy Whig, July 3d, learns from Mr. Gager, one of the passengers by the Atlantic, who arrived in Troy this morning, the following particulars: Saturday 1| P. M., St. Louis time, were abreast of Rochester, over Lake Ontario, when the altitude was increased on account of the wind, which was blowing a perfect hurri cane, unaccompanied by rain. The supply of gas was small, consequently, the balloon did not reach the altitude above the storm. The vessel was immediately headed for shore. When the storm was highest the vessel was only about thirty feet above the level of the Lake. We reached land in a few seconds in the town of Henderson, Jefferson county, with all hands on board. We landed in an edge of woods with the basket swinging to and fro, making rapid evolu tions among the higher branches of the trees, the passengers clinging to tho rigging. The strength and general excellence of the arrangement of the balloon basket probably saved the party. The balloon was left in a high tree, swinging above the boat and much dam aged. The whole distance travelled is eleven hundred and fifty miles; we started at 6:40 P. M., on Friday, from St. Louis, and landed at Hen derson, Jefferson county, at 2:20, Saturday, P. M. Mr. Lamountain remained in charge of tho balloon ; Mr. Wise, Mr. Gager and Mr. Hyde will come on in the East. A grand reception was given to the parties at the village cf Adams, Jefferson county. Mr. Gager, will come on to Troy, Mr. Wise to Albany and Mr. Hyde to New York. The New Hampshire House of Representa tives have passed a bill, by a vote of one hundred and thirty-four against ono hundred and one, punishing any body aiding in the rendition of persons claimed as slaves with imprisonment for five years for the first offence and for life for the second offence. Runaway Slaves.— The Hartford Times says, on Saturday night last, some eight or nine slaves ran away from their owners at Perrymansville and that vicinity. It is stated that at a party a few weeks ago, held by tho blacks in the neigh borhood, they were persuaded to run away by two white men who were present at theflr party. FOREIGN SUMMARY. New York, July 2. — The steamship Bavaria has arrived with London papers of the 18th of June. The latest intelligence from Turin was to Fri day, the 17th. It was officially communicated, on the day previous, that tho head-quarters of the Emperor Napoleon was at Cova, on tho road from Bergamo to Cremona. The King of Sardinia was at Castagnole. Several of tho Papal States had pronounced in favor of the national cause. Ten thousand Tuscan troops had joined Prince Napoleon’s division. By the Arabia. — London, June 18, A. M.— Kossuth has left London for Paris, with French passports. On Monday next he will arrive at Genoa, where a becoming reception awaits him. He will have an audience of Napoleon, but no grounds exist for the report in circulation as to his plans. The French army of observation on the Rhine frontiers, numbers seventy-one thousand. The London Times, in its City Article of last evening, quotes advices from Frankfort, which state that the German Confederation are un derstood to have resolved that eighty thousand men, namely, forty thousand Prussians, and for ty thousand Austrians, shall be stationed on the Rhine. There were also strong rumors that Prussia will issue some decisive announcement in tho course of a few days. According to tho prevalent conjectures, peace is to be proposed to the Emperor Napoleon on certain conditions, and if these are refused, Ger many is to enter into tho war. Under these circumstances, there is great anxiety, and stag nation in all commercial cities. Tho London Times also says that Russia is making vast warlike preparations at all the naval depots. The Neva division of the fleet is report ed to number eighty-eight first-class ships, and the Baltic fleet thirty-five sail of the line, of which fourteen (screw) are at Cronstadt. The Battle of Melegnano. —Verona, June 10th (via Vienna.) —The following is official: “On tho Bth of June, Gen. Urban, at Canonica, and the Bth corps d'armee, at Melegnano, were en gaged in sanguinary fights. The enemy-, in greatly superior force, appears to be advancing from Milan, and tho Austrian army has therefore passed tho Adda in good order, and is nearing the reinforcements in reserve. The courage of our troops is unbroken, and they are longing for a decisive battle.” • Colonel Paulzeivoi was killed, and five hundred Zouaves were put hors de combat. The Aus trians, who were thirty thousand strong, suffer ed a loss of fifteen hundred killed and wounded, and twelve hundred prisoners. The battle last ed nine hours. At 11 P. M., a battalion of Hun garians and Croats, intending to surprise the village, were surrounded and defeated. > Vienna, June 13. —The Austrian Correspond erice of this evening contains the following : The Austrians at tha battle of Melegnano yield ed only to the decidedly superior force of the enemy, and retired unpursued in perfect order. The following despatch, from the Major Gen eral of the French army to the Minister of War, has been published in Paris: “Milan, June 9. —After the victory at Magen ta the Austrians made a precipitate flight from Milan, leaving in the citadel forty-one brass can non, a great quantity of amunition, and provi sions in abundance, retreating towards Lodi and Pavia. On tho Bth, his Majesty the Emperor gave orders to Marshal Baraguay D’Hilliers to occupy the position of Melegnano, (Marignano) whence we menaced at tho same time two of the retreating columns of the enemy; but the Austrians, who fully comprehended all the im portance of holding Melegnano to cover tlioir retreat, taking advantage of the remains of the fortifications surrounding the town, had strong ly barricaded themselves therein. Marshal Baraguay D’Hilliers, who arrived before the place at four o’clock, immediately gave orders for the attack in front by the divisions of Baz aine and Ladmirault, while at tho same moment the division of General Forey was ordered to turn the place. The battle lasted at least three hours. The enemy opposed a most energetic resistance to tho efforts of our soldiers, and were dislodged by the bayonet from intrenchment to intrenchment, and from house to house, and only withdrew at seven in the evening, leaving the place covered with dead, one of their can nons in our possession, and about a thousand prisoners. This splendid result, however, has been dearly purchased, our loss amounting to fifty officers and eight hundred men killed and wounded. Louis Napoleon and the Papal Authority. The Times' correspondent remarks that, as Lom bardy and Tuscany are occupied by the French, the summoning of the Italians to arms by the Emperor's proclamation, doubtless applied to the Pontifical States and the Neapolitans. We may, therefore, expect to see, before long, the Papal authority circumscribed to the city of Romo and its immediate suburbs. Parma has demand ed French troops. The reserves of the Im perial Guard leave on Friday for Italy. Two di visons of the army of Lyons are also preparing to leave. Expected Battle. —The last accounts from the French Imperial headquarters in Italy stato that the Emperor was concentrating his forces, in order to attack the Austrian army with an overwhelming force. It is believed in Paris that a decisive battle will be fought in the course of next week. A Turin journal publishes a proclamation by General Klapka, drawn up for distribution among tho Hungarian soldiers in the Austrian army. The Vienna correspondent of the Times says that Garibaldi's corps, which daily becomes more formidable, now threatens tho southern Tyrol. The German population of that district are seriously alarmed. The writer describe* the southern Tyrol as extremely impatient of Austrian rule. The Austrians have, for strategic purposes, perhaps, retired to the Mincio, and the allies, we are told, are in pursuit of them; but their whereabouts is not exactly indicated. The Em peror ard the King have certainly removed their headquarters from Milan; but obviously delay is considered necessary by both armies. Francis Joseph has ordered the despatch of all available troops from Austria to Lombardy, and Louis Napoleon has already received a portion of one hundred thousand, to be immediately sent from France to Genoa, and across the Alps. Accord ing to a Vienna account, a great battle is to bo immediately risked; and, as General Gyulai has hitherto teen a total failure, tho command has been taken from him and given to Gen. Count Scldick. Garibaldi maintains his ground, according to one account, and has teen repulsed according to another; but circumstances were not very urgent with him, for he had time to pay a visit to the King at Milan. It does not appear that he had an interveiuw with the Emperor, and it is now pretty well known that he is no favorite with Louis Napoleon. On his part, the feeling is very amply responded to. The first detachment of the siege flotilla which is intended to reinforce the naval squad ron in the Adriatic, has sailed from Toulon. A landing on the coast between Venice and Trieste is said to be contemplated. “We learn at this moment that tho Austrians have evacuated Pavia and Lodi, and re-crossed the Adda, destroying the bridges.” Austrian Accounts of Melegnano, and Eva cuation of Piacenza. —Vienna, June 12. —An official detailed report of the affair at Melegnano, and the evacuation of Piacenza, is published. It shows that the French force was greatly supe rior to ours, and that the enemy’s loss was con siderable. Our retreat was effected in perfect order. General Boe was killed, and numerous officers died a heroic death. The evacuation of Piacenza was performed in connection with tho movements of the army on the 9th and 10th insts. The greater part of the cannon was stowed away in vessels, and the few remaining spiked. The forts, and block houses, and two arches of the bridge over the Trebbia, were blown, up. Fiz zighettone was also evacuated, with similar pre cautions, and in perfect order. Evacuation of Piacenza—Destruction of the Fortifications. —Piacenza has been evacu ated by the Austrian troops, and the walls aud citadel have teen blown up. The garrison was successful in joining the chief body of the army. Turin, June 12.—A telegraphic dispatch an nounces the Austrian evacuation of Lombardy. Turin, June 13.—The Austrians evacuated Reggio and Brescello, last night, and are prepar ing to evacuate the other part of Modc-na. A deputation from Modena has arrived at Turin. Victor Emmanuel and Garibaldi. —Tho Piedmontese Gazette publishes an order of the day, published by the King at Milan, recapitu lating all Garibaldi’s exploits in Upper Lombardy, and expressing his satisfaction at the zeal and bravery displayed by that bold leader, and tho officers and n.en under him. The King awards to Gen. Garibaldi the gold medal of military val or, and confers various other decorations on of ficers and men. Twenty-two officers and men are besides honorably mentioned. New York, June 3.—The steamship Vander bilt arrived this morning from Southampton, with Liyerpool advices to the 22d of June. Victor Emmanuel, the head of the Sardinian government, lias officially declared that he will not consent to the annexation of any part of the Roman States to Sardinia. The Austrian headquarters had been removed to Villa-franca. The Austrians have abandoned Castiglione, near the Adda; Montochiaro, in Northern Italy; and Lonato, near Lake Gardo. These positions were recently occupied by the Austrians in great force; and their positions were strongly fortilied. The Emperor Napoleon left Brescia on the 20th of June, to advance upon the Austrians. The allies now occupy Brescia, situated about sixty miles from Milan, and on the railway line from Milan to Venice. Many other Italian cities have pronounced in favor of the national cause. The official Austrian account of the losses sustained at Magenta, state that sixty-three officers and one thousand three hundred soldiers were killed; two hundred and eighteen officers and four thousand one hundred and thirty soldiers were wounded, and four thousand were missing. Paris, Sunday, June 19.—The Moniteur of this morning recapitulates the French loss at Magenta—namely, three hundred and twenty three killed, two thousand one hundred and sixty-five wounded, and four hundred and seven ty missing. The French loss at Melegnano was ono hundred and fifty-four killed, seven hundred and twenty-five wounded, and sixty 4bur miss ing. The Paine publishes the King of Sardinia’s speech to the Commissioners from Bologna.— His Majesty refused the military dictatorship offered him, and will disapprove every act sub versive of or contrary to equity and prejudi cial to the cause of national independence. The King has sent an aid-de-camp to the Pope to as sure his Holiness that he has nothing to fear from the events now happening, and that the independence of the Peninsula would be a guarantee, and not a menace, to the neutrality and integrity of the States of the Church. During the last few days eighty thousand Austrians, with six thousand horses and twelve batteries, have passed through Monteehiaro. On the 17 th ult, the allied army of Italy made a forward movement. The Austrians in great force have occupied the pass of the Stelvio, blown up the Devil’s Bridge, and brought up their artillery into the pass. Yeroxa, June 18 th, (via Vienna). —The Em peror reviewed this morning the and Bth corps d'armee at the camp of Lonato. He was most enthusiastically cheered. The confidence of the troops has reached the highest point. Turix, June 21.—According to the advices from Brescia to the 18th inst, the Sardinian army preserves its position before Brescia at Rezzato and Castenedolo. The French army occupies Brescia and its environs in line with the Sardinians. On the 17th ult., the Austrians re-occupied Monteehiaro with a considerable force. Fano Tribino, Fossombrone, Sesi, and Ancona have pronounced for the national cause. Marseilles, Tuesday, June 21.—Kossuth embarked here this morning for Genoa. The Parma Gazette publishes a proclamation, issued by Count Pallieri, Governor of the Par mese Territory, in which he officially announces that he has taken possession of the latter in the name of King Victor Emmanuel, and exhorts the people to neglect no effort to ensure the efforts of the national cause. St. Johns, July C. — The steamship Adelaide has arrived, with Liverpool accounts to the after noon of Saturday, June 25th. The Emperor Napoleon had telegraphed to the Empress on Friday evening, the 24th June that another hot and terrible battle had beeD fought, and that a great victory had been achieved. The whole Austrian army had formed a line of battle extending five leagues. The battle commenced at four o’clock in the morning and lasted until eight o’clock in the evening. The French had taken many flags, cannon, and prisoners. A Vienna dispatch says the battle was still progressing, but no details were given. Previous accounts state that the Austrian force on the Mincio was fully two hundred and eighty thousand men. The entire French force passed Monteehiaro. They had pushed their reconnoisance as far as Catee in Piedmont, and advanced towards Pea chiera. Napoleon demanded permission of Hanover to march thirty thousand men through that country to the Rhine. . . It was believed that the basis of mediation proposed by Prussia had not proved acceptable —France thereby involves Prussia in the war. It was rumored that Prussia had threatened to assist in suppressing the meditated insurrec tionary movement in Hungary. The Swiss troops had been sent from Rome to suppress the rising at Perugia, where a des perate encounter between the troops and people had taken place, the shooting being indiscrimi nate. Parma. —The journals from Parma of the 11th announce that a Government commission had been formed there, composed of M.M. Cantelli, Bruni, and Armini, which, after ordering the Italian tri-color with the cross of Savoy to be hoisted on the citadel, issued a proclamation announcing that the inhabitants had nothing more to fear from the Parmese troops, who had preferred going over to Austria rather than serve the national cause. The document Con cludes with a recommendation to preserve pub lic order, and observe the laws. Ravenna has pronounced for the national cause, and a manifesto has been published de claring the adhesion of that town to a central established at Bologna, which is to be placed under the dictatorship of the King of Sardinia. The manifesto also expresses the unanimous wish to be enabled some day to fo*n part of a monarchy worthy of the gratitude of the Italians. An amnesty has been granted to the politi cal prisoners at Naples, on the strong remon strance of Mr. Elliott the British Minister. Tuscany. —The Sardinian Commission Ex traordinary in Tuscany has issued a decree opening various new ports in the reception of breadstuffs. Russia and* Prussia— A letter from St. Petersburg says that if Prussia allows herself to be goaded into menacing steps, Russia will con centrate corps of troops on the Prussian fron tiers and in GaUieia, and detachments of the Russian fleet will be sent to the Prussian ports in the Baltic. The accounts during the week from Prussia have been very contradictory. It is stated that the mobilization of the Prussian army indicates an intention of operating in favor of Austria, and that the allies, on crossing the Mincio, will precipitate the German and Prussian army into the field against them. This, however, is denied; but there can be no doubt that there is a terrible excitement in all the German provinces against the French Emperor. Whether it will manifest itself in action remains to be seen. Turkey. —The Porte has given an evasive reply respecting the election of Prince Couza. The Sultan asks for guarantees. It is said that the 12th of June was the day appointed for the rising in Europoan Turkey. 53
