      France. Serious Disorders Have Waken Out...

      FRANCE . Serious disorders have Waken out at the town of Bourg S . Andeol , iu the department of Ardeche . The procorear of the republic proceeded , at the Lead of eighty geusdanees , to execute a warrant of thejsje tftnsfraefwit at Lyons for the arrest ot the deputy-mayor of Saint Andeol , hut was met by discharges of arms from behind barricades . The office * fit the head of the gensdarmes was wounded in the jaw . The commissary of police drew his sword and killed one of the insurgents . The mob haying been dispersed , the deputy-mayor was seized and led awav to Montelimart , yjhere he was

      imprisoned . The Prefect of the Ardeche proceeded to the spot and effected other arrests without resistance ; 300 stand of arms , belonging partly to the insurgents , and P « tly to the dissolved Nattonal Guard of the place , together with seventeen prisoners , left for Privas , the chef-lieu of the Ardeche , accompanied by an imposing escort . Though the emeute was soon suppressed , it appears pretty certain that it was intended as the commencemen t Of 8 Series of insurrections in that and the neig hbouring departments . Six barricades erected in a town which does not count 5 , 000 inhabitants , of whom 200 or 300 were insurgents , was not a bad example to larger localities .

      It is staved that Allais , the police agent , who gave information of the pretended conspiracy to assassinate M . Dupin and General Chaugarnier , has all but admitted that the whole was a mystification ; end he is to be prosecuted . It appears that he was connected with the socialists in Rouen , and took part in the rising of 1848 . He then transferred bis services as a spy to the Central Commissary of Police in that city , and we presume as a reward was promoted to his position in the Legislature Chamber .

      The trial of M . Neffzer , responsible editor of the Presse , ' for the publication of the mode message inserted in that newspaper , has come off before the Court of Assizes of the Seine . The offence charged in the indictment was publication with bad faith of false news , and of a forged document falsely attributed to a third person , which news and document were of a nature to disturb the public peace . The demand ot M . Nfffzer to be assisted by M . Smile Girardin as counsel was not complied with fcy the court . The advocate-general , AL Sain , in

      addressing the jury for the prosecution , dwelt upon the danger of allowing similar forgeries to pass unpunished . Perhaps a more audacious figment had never issued from the press than this patchwork composed of passages extracted here and there from pamphlets , some of which had been published eighteen years ago , by M . Louis Napoleon Bonaparte , and presented to the public as a most solemn and authentic official document , concerning which the public curiosity was at that moment highly excited .

      M . Neffzer , who read his defence , reminded the court that the ' Pays , ' a journal of the Elysee , had printed last October , under the head of ' Erratum ' in the 'Monitenr / a violent diatribe against M . Dupin , which was put into the mouth of the President and addressed to the ablegate of the holy See . Yet the ' Pays' had not been prosecuted for falsely attributing to the President what he had sever said . M . Neffzer proceeded to argue that the document complained of was neither forged , nor such as could deceive any person ef the least discernment ; and if punishment were to be awarded

      for the commotion produced by such news in the departments , and the perturbation occasioned to commerce , what document bad produced a greater shock througboutFranee than thePresident ' smessage of the 31 st of October . After the president of the Court had summed up , the jury , after deliberating twenty minutes , returned a verdict affirmative upon the two counts of the indictment without attenuating circumstances . The court then sentenced M . Ueffzer to one year of imprisonment , 2 , 000 fr . fine , and ordered tbe destruction of all the numbers seized .

      M . Neffzer has appealed against the sentence ef the Court of Assizes of the Seine . The director of the' Courrier Frangais' was fined l , 500 f ., and the ' Monitenr du Soir' 500 f ., hy the Police Court of Paris on Saturday for a violation ot the new law requiring that all political articles shall be signed by their author . Tbe severity of the sentence pronounced against M . Courtois , editor of the ' Corsaire , ' for an article venting some sarcasms against the President , in consequence of tbe military banquets , is worthy of the worst tiaies of prosecution against the press . The greater pari of the offensive composition , for which

      M . Courtois has been condemned to one year s imprisonment , consists of a string of harmless jokes ipon the gastronomic appeal made to tbe soldiers to : xcite their zeal in the imperialist cause . In one lassage only the writer seems to have exceeded tbe Emits of reasonable satire . He says , in reference to he swerd of Sobieski , which the Poles presented to ffapo-leon : — ' By a freak of fortune , the sabre of Sobieski fell into the hands of a nephew of the great nan . O profanation ! the scamp sold it for some srowns , and now behold this noble blade turned into lrufues and champagne I The hilt , enriched with swels , has , perhaps , been dropped behind the scenes If the opera . '

      M . Dufougerais , in his defence , proved satisfactory that this passage was not applicable to Louis Uapoleon , but to bis cousin , Napoleon Jerome , who tad been attacked in previous numbers of the * Coraire , ' for having sold the sacred relic , bequeathed by fcbe Emj > eror to his brother Jerome , to the Museum If Artillery for £ 480 . The rijou .- used in dealing with the press is visi-He in another occurrence . M . Sougere , responsible ( Bitor of the ' Siecle , ' having been recently conjoined to three months' imprisonment , was sent nr to the court , and on his appearance was arrested , u defiance of the usage which allows journalists aider such circumstances to put their affairs in order . It is stated , in certain political circles in Paris , laat as soon as Germany shall he re-organised with eer regular Diet , and her Federal Armv . tbe Diet

      Till address the Grand Council of Switzerland with { protocol reminding it of the guarantees of 1815 , lad demanding their complete execution . It is added mat Russia , Austria , and Prussia will adhere to that rcotocol , which will be left open to France as the oower not the least interested on account of her : eographical position . Should Switzerland answer u a refusal , France will be asked if she is disposed »» co-operate in the occupation of Geneva and Lautnnne , with the allies occupying the other cantons , nftould France decline , the army of the German Fsdeititionwill occupy Switzerland by Zurich , and the uustrians by the canton of Tessin , with tbe object If f freeing that country from the demagogues * who icicessantly menace the tranquillity of the governments acd of tbe people . ' Such is the policy which , it t the political circles referred to , is considered likely i \ be acted upon bv the Powers iu the course of next

      innng . J Saturday ' s debate in the Assembly presented the aiainful spectacle of a question of humanity being : e ; eated as a question of party . It is possible ( says iae correspondent of the Daily News' ) that tbe Itatatements of . the Mountain with regard to the staratation and ill-treatment of the prisoners in Belhisle mead Mont St . Michael may be over-coloured and mounded upon accidental exceptions ; but of this iciere can he no doubt , that political prisoners are in irarance subjected to a much more rigorous treatment naian common felons . To this fact a minute personal in spection of the prisons of Paris eiablea me to bear ite te most positive testimony . Let any impartial

      wit-:: sas 3 compare the treatment of the common felons in II , I , Pelagie with the lot of tbe political offenders in ne te cellular prison of the Rue Mazas . At the former hfhousebreaksr may open and shut his window as he lananis air or warmth , may talk to his fellow prisoners , )' . a ' . ain what meat or wine he pleases for bis money , ndid converse without hindrance with visitors , ibshereas the occupant of the prison of Mazas , whose "rrrror , however deplorable for society , has been at mended with no moral degradation , is obliged to ireyeathe a foetid air which is conducted by a detest-Ibletfe contrivance of ventilation through the breathing wholes of Ms call- his window may give him light , utut no air ; his daor may not be opened without a aeoeeial permission ; he mast aot converse with his

      Hollow-prisoners , nor address the guardian for a want 30 nove his breath : he can procure no food hut the risrison diet , which is a watery mash of potatoes or ulsrfse , day about , with meat once a week . The very ircircumstance of the bell-handles having been exlanangsd for ropes , in conseqnecce of the number of isrisohers who , committed suicide by hanging them-Iv ^ yes ' on the former , whereas the latter cannot be leded without alarming the guardians , is an appalling diciication of the amount of torture inflicted on the iaoisoner by the intense rigour of the coercion applied all ail ways with unrelaxed gripe . It was proved on ntuiturday that the most emp hatic pictures which can dr drawn of human torture may be received ma Regulative Assembly with shouts of laughter . It Stelfera Uttie whether anon a mode of receiving seni i

      France. Serious Disorders Have Waken Out...

      ous statements betaceable to callous inhumanity or shallow incredulity . " The effect remains the same . The political prisoners of Belleisle and Mazas must continue to 'hang themselves in their cells , and to address ; petitions to the Minister to exchange their lot for that of the bagnio , because their treatment it made a party question , and every consideration of ustice and humanity must bs sacrificed to the parliamentary object of indicting a signal defeat on the Mountain . Instead of a committee of inquiry being appointed the house passes by an immense majority to the pure and simple order of the day . M . Charles Lesseps was arrested on Tuesday morning , on the charge of complicity with the authors of the Lyons plot .

      In the discussion in bureaux on the appointment of a Committee to examine the bill to meet the expense of the 40 , 000 additionaUroops , all the leaders of the Moderate party gave it as their decided opinion that the committee should formally express its approbation of the pacific feelings put forth in the President ' s Message , and its expectation that France should maintain the strictest neutrality in the affairs of Germany . The members chosen belong to the majority , and nearly all to the Orleanist party . M . Baroche has stated to the committee on the Assembly ' s commissary of police , that the government cannot admit the right of the bureau of the Assembly to exclusive competence in the dismissal of that functionary . Hence the conflict between the legislative and executive on this point is re-opened , and a strong debate is expected on the motion of the questors .

      PRUSS . A . Tbe Chambers were opened by the King in person on the 21 st . In his speech he attributed the last attempt at his assassination to the excitement caused by the revolutionary press . With respect to the menaced war , he said : — ' My intention of procuring for the German nation a constitution corresponding to its necessities , remains as yet unrealised . I have held fast the idea which has laid at the raot of all my hitherto endeavours in hope of the future : I can resume the work of effectuating

      my designs only when the future configuration of the Germanic confederation has been settled . I hope that the negotiations now in progreas for that purpose will attain to a prosperous result . I hope that our rising ( erhebung ) is contributing satisfactorily for the protection of our rights ; if this be attained that movement will be without danger to the peace of Europe , for my people is not less wise than powerful . We da not seek war : we wish to abridge no man ' s rights , but we desire a constitution of the collective fatherland becoming the position of Prussia . '

      As this seemed to point to a warlike policy , it was received with great satisfaction . But William Frederick is not famous for keeping his word . He is essentially a Jesuit . Tbe lapse of twenty-four hours considerably abated the enthusiasm with which tbe whole of the deputies received the speech from the throne , The phrases , it is discovered , do not positively pledge the government to war , though they have a warlike sound , and therefore the organ of the party of M . Vincke thus condemns it : —

      « The hope of the representatives of the people is disappointed . The speech gives no plainer indications as to the question which all Prussia has most at heart than had been before given by the Ministerial organs . The ambiguity of the expressions the Ministers have placed in the mouth of the King has been so far from removing the apprehensions and suspicions which the Cabinet ' s love of negotiation had created in the minds of a people armed for war , tbey are made more alarming by the solemnity of the occasion . . . The first half of the speech gives us occasion to admire the reliance of the Ministry on the fitness of measures which with rare unanimity were condemned by all parties . With unmistakeable firmness they praise the celebrated press decree , justified in the epeech by the same arguments used when it was published to give it a more formidable character . '

      This refers to the allusion in the speech to Sefelnge ' s attempt to shoot the King . The occasion was seized to issue some needlessly severe laws against tbe press ; but the allusion to the attempt in the speech is still worse , as it is known that the criminal is really a maniac and has been insane from his youth ; it is also known that he was educated in a military school , in an atmosphere of loyalty and devotion to the King ; that he had not quilted the army , and that what associates he had were rather of the ultra-Royalist party than among the revolutionists and democrats , who are openlv

      accused of being his mislsaders . It is curious that of the two attempts on the King ' s life one should have been made by an official , and the other by a soldier—the two privileged classes of the people ; boih were denied special favours to which they thought themselves entitled , and brooded over the fancied wrong ; but there was no suspicion of polities having anything to do with either case ; and the introduction of tbe allusion to regicide and its causes into the speech is felt to be a mistake , since no one connects the press with the attempt at all .

      The reports of so many kinds which are met with in the Berlin journals are not calculated to calm the public mind . Austria has not accepted any of 'he Prussian propositions , which seem to have been offered rather to save appearances than to give satisfaction to the Prussian policy and people . The free conferences , which seem to be all that Prussia can obtain , lose their character in the circumstances under which it is proposed to hold them . They are to be held in the capital of Austria , and their result is to be communicated to the Diet at Frankfort for confirmation . This is what the last note of

      the Vienna cabinet requires , and its concession would be the recognition of the Diet before the conferences open . Before these conferences commence Prussia is publicly to dissolve the union . Prussia has hopi-d to be able to divide the odium of this abandonment with its associates ; but the members of tbe union have refused to lend themselves to this manoeuvre , and Prussia must bow her head . The democratic party prophesied long ago all that we now see . They declared that all was a comedy to amuse and deceive tbe people . They divined justly in this matter .

      The last mail from Berlin brings a number of the « New Preussische Z-ntung , in which we read : ' We shall not have mobilised tbe army in vain , for we shall before long free Neufchatel from the yoke of the stranger / This journal is the organ of the Russian party at Berlin . The armaments of Prussia are thus desired to be turned against Switzerland . It is doubtful if this will take place , for that would be another fault , another crime , for it would tend to embroil still further the affairs of Europe , and the farther this embroilment proceeds the more certainly will a revolution break out , which might make a taiula rasa of all continental dynasties .

      The Emperor of Russia has reiterated his demand for the immediate intervention in Schleswig Holstein , and threatened Prussia with his army if she opposes it . The czar would not object , however , to the pacification being accomplished by Prussia . The free conferences appear to be decided op , with a 4 , ual executive organ for Germany of great power . . The military movement throughout Prussia is described as almost unexampled in the annals of any nation . From one end to the other the country is one vast camp ; and from the lowest peasant to the man of highest rank , —mechanics , physicians , lawyers , students , bankers , merchants , and nobles , — all appsar under arms , all appear breathing the

      same martial spirit , and desirous of war . So convinced are people of the certainty of a popular movement throughout the length and breadth of the Prussian land , that the German refugees who had bean residing in Switzerland have crossed the frontier and entered the Prussian territory , in order to be ready for any emergency—for foreign or civil war—that may arise from the agitated condition of the kingdom . It is considered by those who are acquainted with the present feeling of the people and the army that , should Prussia escape a war with Austria , nothing short of a miracle can save the King from his own people ; and , whether he attempts to stem the current , or goes with it , his fate will be that of the unfortunate Charles

      Albert—abdication and exile , if nothing worse . A telegraphic despatch from the British government in anticipation of the arrival of Lord Westmor . land has been sent to Berlin . In this despatch England insists on Prussia keeping the peace with Austria . Great Britain allows the etappe roads , but she insists on the pacification of Holstein being left to the four great Powers ; A Russian corps of observation is concentrated in Poland , close to the Prussian frontier . The minor powers are exceedingly irritated at the abandonmen t of the Union by Prussia . The courts of law in Hesse Casiel , have been forcibl y dissolved by the Federal Commission . -Semi onramitm have takes place at Frankfort between the Prussian mi Federal troonj , TUre-

      nreaentatives of Luxemburf ^ and Limburg have been withdrawn from the Frankfort Diet , which is consequently no longer in number to deliberate . A Russian corps d ' armee is concentrated in Poland , on the Prussian frontier . The news on the 25 th were , that despatches from St . Petersburgh had been received at Berlin , and a Cabinet Council bad been held in consequence . Russia supports the Austrian claims . Strengthened by this support , the Cabinet of Vienna presses for an immediate decision on its demands respecting Holstein and He « se . Several measures are being taken against the op < position papers . The ' Constttutionnelle Zeitung ' has been confiscated , and its editor banished from Berlin .

      The Austrian and Russian despatches have been officially communicated to the Address Commission of tbe Lower House . They made a powerful impression on the members .

      ATJSTBIA . Tbe rumoured escape of Kossuth causes the government great tribulation . Should he arrive in Hungary it will be difficult for the Imperialists to hold the country with so few troops in it . The agitation in the Lombardo-Venetian provinces seem to increase rather than diminish , and it is so notorious that the spirit of disaffection is kept alive by the priesthood that the Civil Governor of Venice has been induced to issue a circular , in which the spiritual advisers of the people are reproached in no measured terms for making and meddling in

      politics . The inhabitants of Milan and Venice imitate the example . of the Hungarians , and the coins minted during the revolution are mounted and worn as bracelets . A few days since a descent was made by the police on the jewellers' shops , and all the bracelets of the above-mentioned description seized . A commission has been formed by government to take into consideration tbe present sad condition of Venice . Its members propose that the whole of Venice should become a tree port as in former times , or that Trieste and Fiume should be reduced to simple entrepots . Government will certainly not listen to the latter proposal .

      A terrible panic prevailed on the Vienna Exchange on the 22 nd . Gold rose to thirty-nine , and silver to thirty-two per cent , premium . A fall of from two to three per cept . was observable in the value of Austrian paper on the Frankfort Exchange .

      HESSE CASSEL . November S & . —In Hanan the Elector a counsellors are quarrelling bitterly among themselves . Many of them have demanded leave of absence , which the prince has not in any case granted . On one of these occasions a scene took place between the Elector and Hassenpflug . The Elector , in answer to his demand for leave , cried out , ' You have deprived me of my army , and now you would deprive me of my council . The' Frankfort Journal' of November 24 ( h says that on the previous day the taunting words that are continually passing between the troops assumed a very threatening aspect . The Prussians , who were encouraged by the enthusiasm of the people , were with difficulty held back from coming to open battle with the Bavarians and Auslrians .

      On the 23 rd ( says the same journal ) a part of the long expected reserve of the 32 nd Regiment of Infantry arrived at Casse ] , The troops marched , with their bands playing national Prussian airs , through the illuminated streets . On the 24 th the other part of the reserve entered the city , which makes the actual garrison to amount to 2 , 000 men . ' .

      ITALY . ROME . —The « Giomale di Roma , ' of the 15 th , has a leader on the present agitation in England . It tells its readers that the government has not given ear to the * furious tempest' raised by the papers against the Papal brief which restores the Catholic hierarchy in England ; that it has remained calm in the midst of meetings , circulars , and addresses , and that it will not yield to petitions and questions in parliament . It asserts that the law of the land has been respected , and denies the assertion of the Bishop of London , that tbe brief is a negation of the spiritual power of the Queen . ' The English Catholic subjects , ' it adds , ' have never acknowledged that power , and those who daily embrace

      Catholicism deny it formally . And jet these subjects who are now depicted as rebels , are , on the contrary , excellent citizens in the eyes of the government itself . If it be so , and if the English Catholics are to enjoy the same rights as their countrymen , it is clear that the brief has not attacked the spiritual authority of the chief of the State , since the Catholics do not acknowledge it . ' It further contends that the new territorial division established by the brief , is not contrary to the Emancipation Act , and that the Catholics are protected by that act , while Methodists and other Dissenters are merely tolerated . It concludes with a hope that parliament will take no serious notice of the matter , and look upon it as an affair of etiquette .

      NAPLES . —In this country the usual tyranny and injustice prevails . The state trials have been resumed , and though two of the accused were ill and unable to attend , it was resolved to proceed in their absence , The judges declared that as the law gave only six months to hear a case , and as that period was nearly expired in the present instance , it was declared necessary to go on with the trial without having recourse to the alternative which the law provides , of beginning again the cause . The prisoners finding no hope of justice , prayed the court to extend the period of six months , as it was argued very eloquently by one of the prisoners , Piroute , that tbe court had occupied five

      months and a half in the accusation , and now it was sought to restrict the defence of forty men within a period of a lew days only , and that , too , when two of the accused were ' non . ' This request was answered by a reply from the bench , that they should consult tbeir own convenience , and prolong the period allowed by law , if necessary . The lawyers who represented the accused who were absent were compelled to answer for their clients pendente lite . Both prisoners and lawyers protested in vain against the whole proceeding , when the trials were continued by calling a priest who was proved to have been sent into the prisons as a spy to gatber opinions of political offenders . After having reported and denounced a number of persons , this priest applied to tbe King for his

      reward . The ex-minister , Baron Poerio , rose and presented the court with a copy of the petition to the King , which asked his Majesty f or a chapel 1 The production of this and other similar documents produced an immense sensation in the Court . It is one of the many proofs of the dishonest means employed by the government to incriminate the prisoners , and in this instance , coupled with the audacious act of asking the King to reward a scoundrelism horrible to contemplate , especially in a priest of tbe church . His Excellency the Hon . \ V . Temple , and many other foreigners , were present , and witnessed this degradation both of the government and police . On the following day the King , hearing of the scandalous proceedings , ordered that three months more should he allowed

      the prisoners for tbeir defence

      SPAIN . As a specimen of the state of this country we give the following : — ¦ The diligence from Madrid to Seville , which arrived at Ecija on the 7 th , had been detained and robbed , at two a . m ., at the Cerro de Perea , about two leagues from Ecija . Two civil guards accompanied the diligence , an infantry soldier going with the mayoral , and a calvalry soldier riding behind the diligence . The latter was surprised and seized by three robbers on horseback , while their companions ( four in number , and also mounted ^ rod e on and stopped the diligence . The infantry soldier of the civil guard made a brave resistance : placing

      himsel f behind the mules , he fired three times at the robbers ; but at last , being surrounded by them , he fell , mortally wounded by two balls discharged at him point blank . The robbers stripped the cayalry soldier , and took away Ins horse ; and then led the diligence off the road into an olive plantation , where they made the passengers lie down in the usual manner , and took away their money , jewels , and other valuables , to the amount altogether of about 30 , 000 reals—occupying three hours in the process ; they then made off , and the diligence , having been got out with difficulty proceeded on its way , with the wounded civil guard , who expired shortly afterwards .

      to the amount of 1 , 000 , 000 dols . has been consumed . The merchants , comparatively , suffer slightly . The gold harvest was coming in , and extensive shipments may be expected for several montus . New places are still discovered as the old ones are exhausted . This will continue to be the raw *»» the whole surface of the gold region ia tborougniy sifted . . A despatch from Kanseville , Mobile , states that a tremendous conflagration has occurred w that region , caused by tbe Omaha Indians , who set on fire the dry on tbe prairie . The wind was very

      grass hM at the time , and the flames spread with such rapidity that a great many of the fences . OMU ^ S crops , and some buildings , for miles around were enveloped in one sheet of fire . The Indians , just previous to the confla gration , were * «*""« » *• act of setting fire to the prairie in a number 0 different places . The Omahas inhabit a portion of the Missouri territory , some sixty miles above Fort Leavenworth . They are described as one ot tne most dangerous and treacherous of the Indian tribes , and will be likely to cause the pioneer farmers of the backwoods a good deal of trouble .

      The other day a couple of ' slave-catchers arrived at Chicago , in pursuit of two female fugitives , who had , however , left a few hours in advance . The men pursued their journey to Detroit , where they expected to meet their victims , but the telegraph was immediately at work , and , long before tbe arrival of the ' gentlemen from the south , 'a steamer bad been chartered , and had started off to meet the steamer having the females on heard , and they were taken off and conveyed to the Canada shore in safety . The excitement consequent on the Fugitive Slave Bill , during the past week , has been in some degree swallowed up by the stir and bustle of the elections , which have been the all-absorbing topic throughout the country . The bill has received many hard knocks , however , at ward and district election

      meet-Frederick Douglas has been'delivering lectures against the fugutive law in various parts of the country , and he is said to have been well attended , and to have produced a favourable impression . Mr . George Thompson , M . P ., waa to have his « reception , ' in Boston , on the evening of tbe 15 r . h inst ., at Faneuil Hall . It was to be ' A Gathering of the Friends of Reform , International Amity , and Universal Emancipation . ' Mr . Thompson had announced lectures on British India .

      A couple of extraordinary human curiosities have recently been brought here , and are now on exhibition . They consist of a boy and girl of an almost extinct race of Central America . They have been well described as the most outre looking objects ever brought to this country . The boy is thirtytwo inches in height , and weighs 161 bs ., and in tbe opinion of medical authority is about ten years nidi The girl is twenty-eight inches in height , weighs 14 lbs ., and is believed to be about eight years of age . Their heads are not larger than a new-born infant ' s , and they may be almost said to be destitute of foreheads while their noses are finely developed , straight and long , and project at a

      well-defined angle . Their eyes are full , dark , and lustrous . Their heads are covered with strong , dark hair , which descends forward nearly to the eyebrows ; the f ace very sharp , the upper lip projecting , and the chin receding in a correspondin g degree . They are said to belong to the surviving remnant of an ancient order of priesthood , called' Kaanas , ' which , by constant intermarriage within their own caste , has dwindled down to a few individuals , diminutive in stature and imbecile in intellect . Their heads and faces resemble exactly the figures on the has-reJiefs on the temple ruins described in Stephens ' s Central America . ' These children are lively , playful , and a ff ectionate , but all attempts to teach them a word of English have hitherto proved

      unsuccessful . Last evening , in the course of a visit to their rooms , a medical friend who accompanied me held out his watch to the boy when he instantly placed his ear in contact with it , as if to listen to its ticking ; and at one time , as he turned affectionately towards a little girl among tbe visitors , I told the girl to 'kiss him , ' when he immediately placed himself in an attitude and protruded his face ; the child , however , withdrew frightened , and I held my cheek to him , when he instantly approached and greeted me with a kiss , They both—bat particularly the boy—have a regard to their' keeper , ' and at all times readily recognise him as he calls them by name . It is not improbable that these children will be carried to England shortly for exhibition .

      THE HUN 3 ARIANS IN IOWA . The following is from the ' New York Tribune' : — 'We translate from the ' Anzeiger des Westens ' the following extracts of a letter from the venerable governor Ujhazy to Mr . Bernstein , the editor of that paper . It vividly describes the difficulties which the emigrants had in gaining their new abode , and exhibits the spirit with which , after having struggled to the last against Austrian usurpation and loyal treachery , tbey now confront the rugged obstacles with which unsuhdued nature surrounds the settler in the great wild west ! The brave old man writes as follows : —

      Our journey by land from Burlington here was the most difficult undertaking I have bad to go through since I turned my back on my own conntry . The bodily exertion and fatigue connected with it , were not so exhausting as the labours which met us here—though we can now prosecute them rather more at leisure . The anxieties and cares of our uncertain situation added to the painful character of the journey . For the greater part of the way we travelled over a wild country , without roads or bridges , crossing rivers and gulleys , in constant fear Of breaking our waggons and losing our remaining effects . In addition my two daughters fell ill ; the measure of my trouble was full . In regard to the length of our journey , all our former calculations were disappointed , since instead of eight or ten clays it lasted one month . There were davs when we

      could not make more than two or three miles , being obliged to take all the cattle belonging to our f our waggons , to haul a single waggon over the many steep hills we passed . I had , in company with my friends , four teams of my can , and was obliged to hire a fifth at Burlington . It would have amused you to see our former Hungarian gentlemen turned teamsters , and as such , instead of holding political discourses , carrying on a laconic and impressive conversation with their oxen ; What we did not know we soon learned , and finally our little caravan came to the promised banks of Thomson River . The view of the beautiful stream caused us to forget the difficulties of the journey , and I thanked that Providence , which has suffered me at last to reach this first place of rest in my new future .

      1 Our settlement is in Decatur County , in the southern part of Iowa , and only a few miles from the Mbsonri-boundary . In order to honour the memory of our never-to-be-forgotten fatherland , and to remind us of occurrences which will never he blotted from the pages of the world ' s history , I have given our new-bom colony the name of New-Buda . \ - \ ' With the situation and adaptation of our Settlement we are thus far perfectly satisfied . The soil is of the most fertile quality , very easy to be worked , and will give a plentiful return to labour . The locality consists of a broad valley , of alternate prairie and woodland , divided from north to south by the Thomson River ( named Crooked Fox R . on the maps ) . This is one of the minor rivers of the United States , but

      unquestionably one of the moat beautiful ; its crystal water , the best I ever drank , flows over a s andy and pebbly bottom . A portion of the rolling prairie is admirably adapted for the cultivation of the grape . The right bank of the river is still entirely free , and I have taken possession of it 5 in order , however , to govern on both sides , I was obliged to buy out , for 200 dollars , the claim of a squatter on the left hank . This I did very unwillingly , because I have little money , and had resolved to pay nothing for a claim ma land where there is so mrcli of the public domain unoccupied . But the necessity of owning both banks of the river was too evident / since tbe stream is well adapted for mills and manufactories , which we may be able to erect in the future . Under such circumstances I have occupied a tolerable large tract , winch may help but cannot injure our prospect .

      'We have thus commenced as American farmers , with four horses , six oxen , four cows , ten sheep , and forty hogs , besides the necessary agricultural implements . This is our stock capital ; but the best capital is our labour , which we are carrying on zealously and in good spirits . With the exception of chill and fever , which seized three of my children , but cured itself without the aid of medicine , we all rejoice in good health , in spite of our steady labours in making hay , and breaking up the prairie for next year ' s crops . ' With the claim-1 have bought a house , which rVther deserved the name of a hut , and will . be de-

      livered to us about the middle of Oc tober . We shall winter it , and build ourselves a better dwelling in the spring . At present we are camping in a tent , in a thick forest on the border ' s of the river , ' This is our present situation . The future will decide whether it may become the corner-stone of a newer and happ ier existence . Ladislas Ujhazy .

      CAPE OF GOOD HOPE . ¦ We have received files of papers from the Cape to the 2 nd October inclusive , being six days' later intelligence from the colony . The last arrival brought us the resignation of the four popular members Of the Legislative Assembly , M . M . Stockenstrom , Brand , Reitz , and Fairbalm , and a document bearing their signatures , giving the reasons that determined them to tender their resignations . A regular schism , the importance of which cannot be overlooked , has taken place in the colony .

      Meetings have bsen held , and it has been agreed that two of the above gentlemen shall come to this country with a constitution agreed to by the colonists themselves , and urge its adoption on parliament .

      AN EFFECTUAL CURE FOR PILES , FISTULAS , Ac . ABERNETHY'S PILE OINTMENT . XX What a painful and noxious disease is the Piles ! and , comparativclv , how few of the afflicted have been permanently cured by ordinary appeals to medical skill ! This , no doubt , arises from the use of ptiverful aperients too frequently administered by the profession ; indeed , strong internal medicines Should always be avoided in all cases ol this complaint . Ihc proprietor of the above Ointment , after years of acute suffering , placed himself under the treatment of that eminent surgeon , Mr . Abtrnethy was bv him restored to perfect health , and has eiijoved it e » vr since without the slightest return of the disorder , over a period of fifteen years , during which time the same Abernethian per ? cription has been the means oi healing a vast number of do ' . pevnte cases , both ill and OUt of the proprietor ' s ' , circle of friends , most of which cases had been under medical care , and some of them for a very consittcnibh' «' " *• Abevnethy ' s Pile Ointment was introduced to the public by the desire of many who had been perfectly hea'ed bv i « application , and since its introduction the fame of this Ointment has spread fur and wide ; even the medical profession , always slow and unwilling to acknowledge the virtues of any medicine not prepared by themselves , do now iVee . lv and tranltly admit that A bernethy ' s file Ointment is not only a valuable preparation , but a never failing remedy in cverj stage mid variety of that appalling malady . ¦ Sufferers from the Piles will not repent giving the Ointment a trial .
