(Rarnes Timaiums.)
FRANCE.

PARIS, Sm. 13.

The Patric of this evening says :—" Private
letters from Florence state that the Italian govern-
ment
shows a disposition to withdraw its Commis-
sioners from Venetia during the plebiscitum,
order that the population may have full liberty to
express their wishes."
The Preue states that Lord Cowley has returned
to Paris.
The same journal announces that a national
Greek Assembly has been constituted in the island
of Chio.

ITALY.

FLORENCE. BIM': 13.

The negotiations between Austria and Italy for
the conclusion of a treaty of peace continue daily.
The day after to-morrow the seventh official con-
ference will take place, to settle the few articles
upon which an agreement has not yet been arrived
at by the plenipotentiaries. The statement that
serious difficulties were experienced in settling
the financial question is not correct. The prece-
dents afforded by the treaty of Zurich, and con-
firmed by France and Prussia, render the defini-
tive solution easy.
King Victor Emmanuel has been suffering from
a slight indisposition. Now, however, his Ma-
jesty's health is very satisfactory.
The Florence journals state that Viterbo will be
evacuated by the French troops to-morrow.
A royal decree has been published cancelling the
exequatur of the consular representatives in Italy
of Hanover, Hesse Cassel, Nassau, and Frankfort
on the Maine.

BERLIN, San. 13, Emma.

The New Prussian (Cross) Gazette of this even-

event of the Chamber of Deputies rejecting the

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, SKr?. 13.

The New Free Press of this evening says :
" We learn that the views of the Prussian govern-
ment relative to the independent diplomatic repre-
sentation of Saxony at foreign courts have taken a
more favourable turn. The Prussian government,
however, still insists in the most positive manner
that Saxony shall be entirely under Prussian con-
trol, as far as military affairs are concerned."
The Debatte of this evening says :—" We learn
that France has made energetic representations to
the Porte against any acquisition by the United
States of an island in the Gulf of Agina. France
has been supported in this course by England."

RUSSIA AND NORTH AMERICA.
ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 13.

At a farewell banquet which has been given in
this capital in honour of the United States em-
bassy, Prince Gortschakoff made a speech in which
he expressed his confidence that the good under-
standing between North America and Russia would
be of permanent duration. " This good under-
standing," he added, " is neither a danger nor a
menace to other nations, and is dictated neither by
ambitious nor covert designs."

state of affairs.

Av AIISTILLLIAN Joss.—We take the following
from the Hamilton Spectator:—Every
.one who has been to
Hamilton must have become acquainted with the name,
if not with the person, of Father Farrelly. He was for-
merly settled at Mount Moriac, and being last week on
a visit to that place, be was entertained at dinner by
the members of the shire council. In responding to
the toast of his health, he told the following story, which,
good as it is to read, must have been infinitely better
as it fell from the lips of the relator :—During the time
(said Mr. Farrelly) that the land selection was taking
place at Hamilton, there was, as is well known, hardly •
lodging to be obtained. Some friends of mine hearing that
I was resident at Hamilton,looked me up and thus secured
a lodging. The next morning there was a succession of
knocks at the door, and neighbour after neighbour came,
bringing joints of meat, some in tin dishes, some in other
dishes. Well, I thought that the neighbours, knowing
that I had got visitors, were making me presents, and I
felt grateful for them. My servant took them in, and in
course of time they were cooked, and placed on the table.
I have often heard of tables graming, but never did I see
a table so loaded as on that occasion. However, like good
trenchermen, we were not dismayed by this superabund-
ance of the good things of this life, so we went to work,
and had just about finished our task when there
came a rap at the door, and this was followed by
•
succession of raps. I took no notice of the occurrence,
but suddenly we were startled by a noise in the
very much resembling the sound of blows. IPaiLeimire:
diately went out, and addressing the first intruder, said,
" My good woman, what do you mesa by making rush
• noise as this in my house at such a time?" " Shure,"
says she, " I want my joint." " What do you mean?"
" Ah, shore, now don't you try to pitch the blarney with
me now—dadn't yer cause that ere sign to be stuck up
outside yer door?" I could not make out what this meant,
so we put on our hats and went down to the garden
fence, to see the cause of all the row. On the fence was
suspended a neatly painted signboard, with the words—
" Dinners baked here." The sign, it would appear, had
been left there by a drunken painter.
ALPAcAB.—The government of New South
Wales has got rid of its Alpacas. They cost from 401. to
501 a-piece, and have passed into the hands of private
persons for from 31. to 81. each. Tinder the management
of individual owners they do very well.
