SIR JOHN PAKINUTON ON THE WAR.

Sir John Pakington, who presided at the harvest home
festival at Rushock, Worcestershire, on Wednesday,
made a speech in which, after referring to the excel
lence of the crops, he remarked :—" But there 11,5
another blessing to which I cannot help al
-
lulling.. The treaty obligations of England made
it but too probable that we should become,
entangled in the war; and we cannot be too thankful
that this has not been the case. After what has occurred
within the last few ,days we may consider that Eng-
land is safe ; but there is another danger before us
which we must not • disregard. There has been
a Revolution in France, in that country, in
which our relations have been so friendly and so intimate,
and to which we are geographically so closely situated.
Under these circumstances danger and disturbance maY
arise in England. Let us bear in mind the lesson we have
to learn. Let us recollect that it was but the other day,
as we say, that Prussia engaged in a war with Austria;
one of the greatest military Powers in Europe, an"
yet in one short week that Power was defeated. Now we
find that this same Prussia has in one brief month sub-
dued the armies, and overrun the kingdom of France;
an Empire has been destroyed, and a Sovereign taken
prisoner. These remarkable events teach us how soon a
war may spring up, and how soon that war may be settled.
They ought to teach the statesmen of this country how
necessary it is to shape their policy with a due regard to
those events. Let us hope that as the armies of the King
of Prussia have been blessed with success—a rapidity or
success unparalleled in the history of the world—he maY
now feel that there is only one additional triumph he can
gain—that is to chew a noble magnanimity tpwards the
brave enemy whom he has defeated."

A despatch from Marseilles announces with reserve
that a rumour prevails in the Italian Colony to the effect
that a Republic had been proclaimed in Italy, that the
King had abdicated, and his son, Prince Humbert, been
proclaimed President of the Republic.
The private correspondence of the Emperor
Napoleon with the official and confidential agents of the
late Government have been sezied at Dieppe, from whence
they,were to have been embarked for England. As this
correspondence was connected with State secrets, it was
under seal.

Colonel Ryan, the Cuban leader, has, says the New
York Times, been arrested on the Long Branch boat, on
an old charge of having resisted a deputy marshal when
last in custody for .an alleged violation of the neutrality
laws. He was brought before Commissioner Shields, by
whom he was released on $15,000 bail.

LADVERTISEMENT.]—VoIIoway's Pills and Ointment. -;
" ow Spirits," or " Nerves," and the various maladies of
mind and temper that make many a torment to theta-
selves, and a burden to all connected with them, have
their origin in. some unhealthy condition of the body
most generally the stomach or live are the disordered
organs. Nothing rectifies the digestion and congested
liver with the speed, certainty, and safety that is fortu-
nately exercised by Holloway's preparations, whether
externally applied over those parts, or internally ad-
ministered as medicine. Both Ointment and the Pills
agree well, and wonderfully assist each other in repress-
ing disease and restoring health, energy, and happiness.
With continued disorder of any function mankind can
never live either healthily or happily.
