potions were saved owing to the strength of the walla,

alive, but the remainder perished. The Grit person

petition of the houses. Owing to the miaow of snow
and the fear of avalanches no aid could be &stained till the
IGth, from the priory, when the doleful tinkling of the eon-
vent bell gave the alarm to the inhabitants of the pritieipal
village of the valley. They at once proceeded to the spot of
the disaster, but one immense winding sheet of snow wrapped
up the buried village, with a chimney appearing here and
there from the solid white mass. After two days digging
seven corpses were dug out, and six persons still alive. Toe
unhappy persons who survive have lost their all, and it
is hoped that the government will come to their timely
succour.

GERMANY.--JENNY LIND AND THE STUDENTS.
—At a certain German town last autumn there was a tre-
mendous furor about Jenny Lind, who after driving the
hole piece mad, left it on her travels early one morning.
The moment her carriage was outside the gates a pack of
rampant students, who had escorted it, rushed back to the
inn, demanded to be shown Jenny's bed-room, and swept
like a whirlwind up stain into the room indicated to them,
tore up the sheets, and wore them in stripe as decorations.
An hour or two afterwards a bald old gentleman of amiable
appearance, an Englishman, who was staying in the hotel,
came to breakfast at the tableePlatite, and was observed to
be much disturbed in his mind, and to show great terror
wh a student came near him. At last he sold, in a
low voice, to some who arise near him at table, " You are
English gentlemen, I observe? Most extraordinary people
these German students: u a body, raring mad, gentlemen."
" Oh no," said somebody, " only excitable, but very good
fellows, and very sensible." " By heavens' sir!" returned
the old gentleman, still more disturbed, " then there's some-
thing political in it, and lam a marked man. I went out
for a little walk this morning, after shaving, and while I was
gone;"--he fell into a terrible perspiration as he told it—
they burst into my bedroom, tore up my sheets, and are
now patrolling the town in all directions with bits of 'em in
their button-holes."—ln the confusion the students had gone
into the wroagreom.— Dense/as Jerrold's Weekly Newspaper.
BAVARIA.—LOLA-MONTES.—A letter from Munich,
of the 22d, says—" The exasperation of the populace of our
city against idyll's,. Lola-Montes has become so great, that
the authorities, in order to prevent disturbances, have
required the young lady to quit the town. This she did tut
night, going to the village of Staremberg, satiated at about
five leagues from Munich. Iler carriage was escorted by a
strong detachment of dragoons from the garrison."
RUSSIA.—The latest accounts received from the
Caucasus, state that General Woronstoff ho:' offered to eva-
cuate all the little fort', and only to keep inaisa and Sou-
koum-Kale, on condition that the population along the
coast are to give no aid to Chiamel-beg, are to keep up a
good understanding with the Russians, and to furnish a con-
tingent of 35,000 men, commanded by Circassian chiefs, to
be employed only in war against Christans. These propo-
sitions have been rejected. The Emperor has issued an
ukase, prohibiting foreigners to serve as volunteers in the
army. Foreigners desiring to serve, must tint become Rus-
sian subjects, take an oath of allegiance to the Emperor, and
take • rank in the army.
To hasten the termination of the railway from St.
Petersburg to Moscow the emperor has ordered the issuing
of two series of treasury notes, each of three million roubles,
to bear interest from the Ist of February. Ilia majesty has
also ordered two similar series to be issued, is case the ex-
penses of the railway should demand new funds.
