AND THE

INDEPENDENCE OF TUSCANY.

The. Daily News censures the work our men-of-war
are doing in the South of Europe. It seems that
Her. Majesty's (s.s.) Conqueror, 101, entered the port
of Leghorn on the 9th inst. The national flag of
Tuseany.was flying, but the captain of the Conqueror
decliiaea to offer it the customary salute ; and on
explanations being demanded, his reply was that he
was
:acting according to instructions. The Tuscan
government was still more surprised, and telegraphed
to the Marquis D'Azeglio in London. Lord Malmes-

bary's explanation was, that the new Florentine
government did not appear to him strong and estab-

Daily Zfews says that Tuscany having recovered her
freedom certain changes have taken place in the

VOLUNTEER RIFLE Cou.n.—The Times highly applauds
the government for recognising the necessity of appealing
to the military spirit of the csuntry- and this for the sake
of peace, and not with any warlike views ; for if we ,choose
to take reasonable precaution there is no possible Lon-
tingeney on the continental chessboard which would draw
with it as a consequence an attack upon the British
Islands.

POINTED PREACILING.—Father Moody was an eccentric
man. He had in his congregation Colonel Ingraham, a
wealthy farmer, who had kept back his large stock of corn
from the market ix the hope of raising the price. The
pastor heard of it, and resolved to make ;,.. public attack
upon the transgressor. One Sabbath he read for his text,
" He that withholdeth the
heador. the people shall purse him ;
but blessings be on thenot of him that selleth it."
Colonel Ingraham couldbut know to whom the
reference was made; but he helduZolnisselitead and faced his
