A Rumania crrT, indeed, has Vienna been. For

the months of June 4,600 men, 180 officers, and %OW
horses were fed &Hy. In July 400 officers, 15,000 mon,
and 3,000 horses were provided for daily, and seven

HORRIBLE STORY /SOX ERR FBI WI:BT.—The

ref...muting hints& to bo a minister of the (lapel
stopped at an Irishman's ranch at Tobsoco Plains, on
the road from Pend d'Oreille Lake to Kootenay mines,
sad that some time afterwarda the Irishman was miss-
ing, and the quondam preacher stepped into his shoe.,
I informed all who inquired after the previous proprie
tor of the ninth that he had brought out the Irishmen,
and that the latter had gone to the lower country. This
seemed a plansibis story, but a discovery of human bona;
led to an investigation, which b.' proved that the sup-
posed es-preacher not only murdered the Irishman, but
hacked the body to pieces and served it up in variously.
prepared dishes to the travellers stoppin t his
place.

GARIBALDI AND THI Erponesu Or TRU VOLUNTIit
FORCIL —lO anticipation Id the approaching dissolution
of the Italian volunteer form, Oaribaldi has issued a
circular pointing out the necessity of settling the claims
against him on acoonot ef that foroe. It runs as
follow. :—'• Ito preparation% for the expeditions which
have been so advantageous for the oountry, especially
that of IMO. caused me to contract certain debts with
some honest and generous oit sena who furnished some
of the necessarim in the interest of the country. many
of those debts have not been paid, and the country
ought to pay them. They amount to about 105,0001.,
not including the sacrifices of those who seek for no re-
compense—a self abnegation which all are not in a
position to imitate. I therefore appeal to the patriotitm
of the Italians, for the refusal to ply • debt so taored
would be ruin to some and dishonour to all.—G.

A STRAINS eictSß occurred on Monday in Paris le thus
described by the Tempo :—Three divinities d chasm,'
carried the eccentricity of the Benoiton toilet ao far
that they at ones attracted the notice of all who saw
them. They promenaded in the gardens of the
Tuileries, and their success was ea great that the pollee
(Accra who were anything but Anacreoutio, had to
show them outside the gates. The people who bad
collected, end were delighted at baring a spectacle
gratis, followed the banished divinities of mpaa, and
at length began to jeer and hiss them. They were pre-
sented with some vine leaves for the pumice of com-
pleting their toilet. Several of the niorket women got
amongst the crowd, and, armed with the oores of pears,
peach stone., and all the projectiles of which a dust
• keep eoold be the arsenal. they rained them on the
frightened dorm, who at length were ...paled to fele
refuge in a sentry-bom The crowd was tfithereed with
4 !Acuity, and the ladies were sent away in a &are.

A LIOBT Sovenmon.—The Rajah of Holapoor, a day
or two before his death, adopted Tatya Babib, the son
of his eldest aister, having no surviving children of his
own. Yielding, also, to the persuasions of those about
him, he allowed himself and wires to be weighed with
rupees, the amount to be distributed to the Brahmins.
The jjejah weighed only 4000r5., while his two wives
weighed 5,000r5. each, making in all 14,000,,. it
seems that all afforts to persuade him to allow European
doctors to see and prescribe for him were in vain, till
the day before his death, and then the best endeavours
of Dr. Johnston were unavailing. But this rejection of
European medical practice was doubtless more owing to
hie native attendants than to his own choice. The
Rajah was more *plighted and lib.ral-minded than most
of his alas, and his early death seems to be very greatly
regretted. The Rajah has long been suffering from a
oomplioatioa of disease., but few apprehended a fatal
issue, at least, so suddenly.

Tan Fannon litrou•CLan FLAW nt • STOIIII. —A
letter from Cherbourg gives an aceount of a tremendous
storm which assailed the French iron•elad squadron :
Rear• Admiral de Is Honritire intended to bate left
Cherbourg on the 4th, but the weather being very bad
he postponed his departure to the 6th, when it having
moderated, be put to sea. In the roar.. of the after-
nano the weather became much worse, and at three
o'clock • terrific storm burst over the squadron in squalls
of fads' violence, accompanied by a deluge of min.
The speed of the ship* was reduced to font knots, to
avoid plunging into the waves, but the net was running
so high that the precaution was unavailing, and the
vessels disappeared at &hood every instant, the waves
breaking over the forecastle and sweeping the decks
from the stern to the gangway. At four o'clock the
