TIIE LAST BATTLES AND DEATH OF
JUNG CHARLES ALBERT.
(From the Illustrated London News.)
Piedmont, Piedmont, is filled with sighs,
Charles Albert's last bed
In the church is spread,
And the old and the young bend wistful eyes,
Where silent and conquer'd a brave king lies.
Brief time is pass'd since, the sword by his side,
Aspiring to see
Fair Ansonia free,
With his troops behind him in martial pride,
We beheld him to battle gaily ride.
And his banners all bright were flung on high—
The war music was sounding,
The war horses were bounding,
And courage and joy were in every eye,
And none suspected the doom that was nigh.
But they thought of brave times quite pass'd away,
Times dead as the clay
Of the King they'll lay
So soon in the chambers that know no ray--
The desolate vaults of the cloisters grey.
They thought of the ancient victorious times
Related in story
So replete with glory,
Of deeds once achiev'd in these very climes,
Still from sire to son sung in nursery rhymes.
Ali! vain were these hopes, though boldly avow'd,
And sudden and strange
Was the destined change,
Which turn'd all their light into gloom and cloud,
And their King's bright arms to his winding shroud!
It was not the sabre which laid him low—
The careering rattle
Of the fire in battle
Still grudged what he sought, a dispatching blow—
The King was reserved for less cemmon woe.
The light of success and hope had departed—
'Twas the thickening gloom
Of his country's doom,
That into his soul like the iron darted,
And pierced him and left him—quite broken-hearted.

THE IRON TRADE.—BIRMINGHAM, Nov. B.—The
iron trade of South Stsflordsliire arid the dt,triets con-
tiguous is reported to be improving, the prices fixtd
upon at the last quarter- duy being tirrnly maitrained.
The pitmen who turned out a few weeks av are now
generally employed, and us far as present appearances
can be depended upon, the differences which existed be-
tween master and men have been satisfactorily adjusted.
The price of coals retrains high, and now winter has set
in, for the period severely, there is little probability of
a reduction.

TERRORISM IN TILE COUNTY OF LIMERICK.-oil
Saturday night about three hundred men, many well-
armed, proceeded to the hinds of Graigalug, the property
of William Garrett, Esq., and having placed sentries on
the people residing on the townland, warning them on
the pain of death to keep within doors, they assembled
at the houses of two of that gentleman's tenants, named
Fenton, and swept away the corn on about 100 cars,
with all the property. They fired shots, and marched
through the country, cheering along the road, a circum-
stance which created much alarm throughout their route.
