always attributed to the troops, were in mat sy cases
fired by men who wished to incite the p ?o,ple to
violence from the idea that they were being rm tssacred.

A letter in the Cologne Gazette warns t tavellers
proceeding to Austria to be very cautious as to what
baoks they take with them, as, if they cam el within
the list of prohibitions, they are not merel: seized,
but their possession involves a tedious exan
delay, and perhaps a fine. The reprints of English
works in the editions of Tauchnitz and r.,Ccubner,
which are largely purchased by English traveilen,
have in some cases been seized, as well as (mpies of
the Latin writers, unless they are "expurgated "
editions.

now reached Austrian Silesia, has crossed the frontier,
and is ravaging the territory of Cracow ‘‘ with a

malignity of this epidemic."

increased to an alarming extent in the rural districts
of Bohemia. As the fires generally break out in
barns and corn magazines, these crimes ars universally
attributed to rancour towards corn-growers, on ac-
count of the high price of corn.

A BROKEN HEART.—Dr. J. K. Mitchell, of the
Jefferson College, Philadelphia, in lecturing to his pupils
upon the diseases of the heart, narrated an anecdote in proof
that the expression " broken-hearted" was not merely figu-
rative. On one occasion, in the early part of his he
accompanied, as surgeon, a packet that sailed from Liverpool

suhject he evinced great warmth of feeling, and showed Dr.
kitchen some costly jewels, wnaments, &c., which he in-
tended to present as bridal presents. On reaching his de,ti-

his hand to his breast, and fall heavily to the ground. He
was taken up and conveyed to his cabin on board the ves-
