NEW RELATIONS BETWEEN AUSTRIA

AND ITALY.

The Memorial Diplomat ique contains the fol-
lowing :
A letter from Verona confirms the happy symptoms
of reconciliation which are manifested between Austria
and Italy. On the 19th, Colonel Tromboni, orderly
officer to King Victor Emmanuel, expired at the military
hospital at Verona, from the wounds which he had
received on the sanguinary day of Custor.za•
The military authorities organised a funeral, calcu-
lated to render to the deceased all the honours due to his
rank. Two battalions of infantry in full uniform, with
their colours and band, escorted the funeral car, around
which marched Austrian non-commissioned officers
of hussars carrying lighted torches. Austrian
officers of all arms followed to the cemetery.
The Verona Gazette, the day after the ceremony,
contained a very eulogistic article on the Italian
colonel, who, since 1848, in combatting against Austria,
had received no less than 23 wounds. We also find in the
Nazione of Florence a letter written by an officer of the
Garibaldian volunteers, dated from Pre in Val di Ledro,
in which is related a circumstance very honourable for the
Austrian army, to the humanity of which the writer eagerly
renders justice. Colonel Chiassi, who commanded a Garibal-
dian corps, had fallen struck by an Austrian ball. Five of his
companions, in the number of whom was the writer of the
letter, at once threw down their arms to be able to raise
and remove to the ambulance their chief, mortally
wounded. About twenty paces off was a detachment of
Austrian Chas Burs ; the officer who commanded
it, seeing this act of devotedness on the part of
the Italian soldiers towards their leader, stopped the
firing, not wishing to wound brave men in the back. The
young Garibaldian officer was so much moved that he
says :—" If I knew the name of that worthy Austrian
officer, I would go and seek him even to the most distant
parts of Austria in order to clasp his band."

The Turin Gazette mentions that Mr. Gladstone
is expected in Rome, and intends to remain there for
three months.

The --
following letter has been addressed by
Madame liatteizzi to the editor of the Si&le :—" Bir,—l
have just learned that a book has been published in
Brussels entitled ' Les Marriages d'uee Edipsgnole,' and
signed M.R. lem informed that some persons have been
pleased to attribute to me its authorship. Now I declare
that I am not only not the author, but that I have not
read it or even seen its cover. Be good enough to insert
this denial in one of your early numbers, and receive with
my thanks in anticipation the amurance of my high con-
sideration, MART Rtrrtzzi."
Last Monday the unwounded prisoners who had
been captured during the late campaign were exchanged
at Oderberg. The Prussians liberated 57.3 Austrian
officiers and 35,036 non-commissioned officers and men, but
this is not the total muster-roll of the Austrian prisoners
who fell into the hands of the enemy, for 13,000 wounded
who cannot yet be removed still remain in Prussian
hospitals. Austria gives back about 430 Prussian un-
wounded non-commissioned officers and men, and about

120 wounded are unable to be moved. There were also
seven Prussian offioem liberated. On the same day shout
5,000 prisoners, who had been taken from the Bavarian
and Hems Cassel troops, were released.
A letter from Berlin, dated Friday, says :
" Berlin is very empty ; the usual garrison and the crowds
of officers who generally fill the streets are all away at the
seat of war. Over many doors are painted up the red
crosses which mark that within subscriptions are received
for the military hospitals and wounded. At the doors of
the public offices, and at those of several shops and hotels,
little padlocked boxes painted with the black and white
stripes of the Prussian colours, and labelled Par die Err-
rumble, invite the alms of those who loiter or who pass
by. Here and there& convalescent soldier is seen, with his
hand bandaged up or his arm in a sling ; and one passed up
the Linden this afternoon, jerking himself along slowly on
a pair of unaccustomed crutches, for he had lost one leg.
Preparations are, however, being made for the triumphal
entry of the army, which is expected to take place about
the middle of next mouth."
The advices from America regarding the harvest
seem to indicate a deficient wheat crop, but an unusually
abundant yield of Indian eorn, which for home purposes
in that country is the most important staple. ♦ few
weeks beck the reports of the growing wheat were dims
tram from most of the Western States, from the effect of
protracted rain, but the subsequent accounts have been
less discouraging. In California there is unusual abund-
ance, sad a probability is smarted of a surplus of 850,000
quarters for exportation. The crop of Indira own this
year will, it is said, be the largest ever produced in the
United States. In 1840 the total crop was 47,000,00
quarters, in IMO it was 104,000,000 quarters,and this
season it is estimated at 130,040,040.
