ITALY.

A letter from Florence, in the Corriere Mercantile
of Genoa, positively asserts that the Governments of
France and England have addressed diplomatic notes
both to the Court of Florence and to that of Vienna
against the, apparent project of absorbing. Tuscany
into the Austrian Empire; and reminding those
Courts that such a measure would be contrary to
existing treaties, and would increase the complication
of affairs in Europe.

FIRES.—Tvro destructive fires took place early
yesterday morning, one at No. 7, Oakham-street, Marlbo-
rough-road, Chelsea, occupied by Mr. Flanahan ; and another
at the premises of Mr. W. C. Bayley, cheeiemonger, No.
198, Bermondsey-street. The tire in the former instance,
which was occasioned by a boy playing with lucifers, con-
sumed the whole premises. The house only was insured. In
the latter the stock in trade was entirely destroyed, and the
shop damaged to a very great extent. The owner was in-
sured. Cause of fire unknown.

A FRENCHMAN'S ENGLISII.—" Mine fren, have you
seen von little poodle dog, with his tail slit, and his ears cut
short off behind, whit I did lose la.t week, as I was walking
up de rivers in de steamboat?" " I did not, Monsieur, bat
expect to every minute." " Begat', if he be drown, I vill kill
lilt► six times in two places."

outside. The mob inside was es brutal, only better
dressed, and wearing moustachios for the most part.
Had the Bloomers been monkeys exhibiting for
money, the men would have behaved more politely !
It was no doubt a painfully grotesque sight, that of
the Bloomer Quadrille : women aged in their youth,
with a look at once faded and bold, dressed like the
actresses of a strolling company, intensely conscious of
being looked at, and dancing with loose legged cava-
liers, picked up Heaven knows where—a sight such
as I shall never forget, so painful, so absurd, so
hideous. And this was a ball ! If Bloomerism is
not utterly discredited and extinguished by this, I
shall be amazed. Who could for a moment com-
pare the costume there worn with that of an ordinary
ball dress ? No one but a child or a bumpkin who
thinks the actresses at a fair are " radient forms of
light."
About one o'clock there came an accession of
Bloomers, a bevy of Gauls, somewhat better dressed,
but the Bartholomew Fair stamp ineffaceable on all.
As the men seemed to get more and more riotous, I
thought it time to depart, and I did so, convinced
that Bloomerism was quashed. I remembered that a
lady correspondent from Dresden had told me how
the tailors there have taken a large building in the
Altmarkt, which they christen Academie der Kleider-
kunst, or Academy of the Art of Tailoring, and are
there occupied in inventing a sort of national costume,
in order to do away with French fashions, against
which their pride revolts. Success to them ! But
this appears to me to be the case with all reforms,
whether of politics, language, or costume, viz., they
must pass to a higher stage through modifications of
existing things. Bloomerism will fail as the Phonetic
system failed—the change is too sudden, the leap too
great.

Home I drove, sad and thoughtful. My expecta-
tions had not only been disappointed, but I had seen
human nature under aspects by no means favourable.
The mob outside, the mob inside, and those poor
creatures flaunting in satin, driving one's thoughts in
upon one's soul to brood there in sadness. Above
shone the cold stars, distant and dim. Around all
was silent. My wearied head was soon reposing on
the pillow, and I too passed into silence.

by so doing, and observing strictly the bounds of

Thursday, when they a "heavy blow and a
great discouragement" on the
retahectionaries of all

for

and the weakness of the PRESIDENT and his Ministers,
by wresting from the Assembly that immediate

Suffrage, which it had on Tuesday refused to grant to
the Ministers of the PRESIDENT. The
usual course
of proceeding in the case of Bills to which urgency is
refused is to refer them to the Council of State for

only to the profit of the intriguing Burgraves, who

POST-OFFICE NOTICE.

The Government of the United States having reduced
the rate of postap chargeable upon letters transmitted
through the United States to Cuba, letters for Cuba,
addressed to be forwarded via the United States, will be

liable in future to the following combined British and
United States rates of postage, viz.:—For a letter not
exceeding 3 oz. in weight, la. 23-d.; for a letter exceed-
ing 3 oz. and not exceeding 1 oz., 2s. 5d.; and so on,
according to the scale for charging inland letters.
Newspapers by the same route will still be liable to a
charge of 2d. each. The postage upon both letters and
newspapers must be paid in advance. All correspond-
r.nce for Cuba, not specially addressed to be sent via the
United States, will continue to he dispatched by the
West India mail packet of the 17th of each month.

nication was made between the tiro pieces of tin by
metallic or pliable wire. When the distance of the
objects was required to be ascertained the inventor
looked through a glass on the left side of the scale
until he placed his sliding tin in the proper position
towards the object, and on his stating that it was
right the engineer officer adjusted his tin by looking
through a glass in the centre of it. When both say
the tins are rightly adjusted the inventor refers to the
scale and states the distance, which was found to be
correct within a few inches in every instanoe when
the ground was measured.

TUNIS.

The Toulonnais contradicts a statement of the
Breslow Gazette about the alleged arrival of the BEY
of Tunis at Vienna, with the intention of invoking
the protection of the Northern Powers against the
attempts of the PoRrE countenanced by England.
" AcUMET BEY (says the Toulonnais) would, if this
were true, have left his states at the very moment
the British squadron of the Mediterranean appeared
before the Goletta. This circumstance alone would
suffice to prove the absurdity of the statement of the
Breslow Gazette. In the first place, we will observe
that ACHMET BEY, when seriously menaced, never
demanded the aid or protection of the Northern
Powers, who must naturally consider him in the light
of a rebel subject ; and secondly, he has not set out
from Tunis. As for the British squadron, its atti-
tude is far from hostile. It is well known, moreover,
that that naval force is to sail for the coast of Spain.
There is some reason to believe that Admiral PAR-
KER, who had been stopping at Malta for some time
past, has received instructions to visit several points
with his squadron along the shores of the Mediter-
ranean.

ITALY.

The Piedmontese Gazette of the 7th publishes a re-
gulation for the distribution of pecuniary aid to Ita-
lian political refugees. By Art. 1 of this document
all those are considered political refugees who, having
taken a part in the events of 1848 and 1849, were
forced to leave their country and take refuge in Pied-
mont befor the end of September, 1849. They must
produce the certificate of permanence delivered to
them at that period, and show that it has been regu-
larly vised once a month. By Art. 2, pecuniary aid
is granted to those who, having lost their fortune or a
place by leaving their country, have no means of
subsistence. No aid is given by Arts. 3,4, and sto
those who, having been enrolled in the Piedmontese
army, have voluntarily left the service; nor to those
who, having obtained employment under the State,
have voluntarily given it up, or been dismissed ; nor
to those who have left Piedmont for those countries
where they could not stay. By Art. 9, no aid is
granted to those who have been condemned for crimes
or misdemeanours, or who have made false declara-
tions.

with them military tastes ? Were not two hundred
municipal guards on horseback sent to receive the
Lord Mayor at the Northern Railway station, and
did not the sentinels the other day present arms to
him ? We should like to have seen the worthy and
grave magistrate of the City make the military salute
—he who does not permit a soldier to pass Temple-
bar and enter his domain with arms. And what will
he think after having seen the sham-fight in the
Champ-de-Mars? By the way, bow is it that the
Peace Congress has not risen in insurrection against
this corrupting spectacle ? How can it allow the di-
vision of General Guillabert to make an offensive re-
connaissance on the division of General Carrelet, and
throw a bridge over the Seine to attack Trocadero ;
then, on being repulsed by considerable forces, repass
the bridge and confine themselves i❑ the Champs-de-
Mars under the protection of their cavalry and artil-
lery ? Such is the abridged and softened programme
of this barbarous fete. Fortunately all terminates by
the filing off of all the troops united.

MAGAZINES, &c.—(CONTINUED).
BEA TLEY.
The series of papers now publishing in Bentley,
under the title of the " Picture Galleries of England,"
promises to be both valuable and interesting ; the
notices of " Northumberland house and Sion House,"
which appear in the present number, are models in
their way. " A Visit to a County Gaol at the Public
Expense," is the narrative of the gaol experiences of
an unfortunate individual, who, unable to pay a fine
inflicted on him by a police magistrate, for some
petty misdemeanour, was committed to the :county
gaol. This narrative fully confirms the statements of
Mr. Ernest Jones, as to the atrocious tyranny
habitually practised by the governors and
authorities of the gaols on those unhappy
persons who are committed to their tender mercies, and
who are subjected in many instances to severe flog-
gings at the mere will of the governor, and whose
scan.ty allowance of provisions is stopped for the most
trival offences, and frequently for no offence at all.
These matters all require reform, there must be a clean
sweep out made of the greater number of the gover-
nors slid officials of all our houses of Correction ;
and above all, they must be deprived of the power of
inflicting any disciplinary punishment save by the
written authority or two of the visiting magistrates,
who would, in such case, be held responsible. Alfred
Crowquill gives us a delighful paper on Vauxhall in
the 18th century, and the admirable Zoological Notes
and anecdotes are continued, the manners and habits
of eagles being the subject of the present notice.

THE AGE WE LIVE IN.—One evening last week a
gallant Marquis, having returned from his accustomed ride,
was leisurely ascending the staircase of his mansion, not a
hundred miles from Park-lane, when his ears were saluted
with double knocks at the street door, in quick succession.
The porter having opened and shut the entrance without any,
audible result, the Peer was induced to look over the bannis-
ters and inquire who it was that knocked. "No one in par-
ticular, my Lord," replied the pampered janitor,
" only the
cat's butcher and lady's-maid's Herald."

PORTUGAL.

Accounts from Lisbon in the Madrid journals state
that the Queen of PORTUGAL left Cintra on the 31st,
the anniversary of the promulgation of the Charter of
1831. A grand reception was then held at the
palace, and Marshal SALDANHA figured in it at the
head of the officers of the Royal household, as ma-
jordomo, a place which had been restored to him.
Count DE LAVRADIO had been appointed Minister
Plenipotentiary to Great Britain. The Ministerial
journals say that, the partisans of Mazzucz were
making active efforts to overthrow the throne.
London, England, 1851-08-12

It was arranged that the defendant should reside
for a short time under the protection of a relative of
her husband's; but she insisted on a stipulation that
she should ultimately return to him.
Mr. HALL, in disposing of the case, remarked that
he had had to deal with a great many similar com-
plaints lately, and in every instance the tendency to
drink had been their chief origin.
The defendant was then restored to her husband,
after a solemn promise not to repeat the offence.
London, England, 1851-08-12

GERMANY.

Several arrests were effected at Vienna on the 6th
of persons accused of political offences.
The wife of Major DEMBINiKI, who accompanied
him to America after the failure of the Hungarian in-
surrection, in which he took an active part, was ar-
rested a week ago, on her return to Pesth. She had
a forged French passport.
The Postampt Gazette of Frankfort has the fol-
lowing from Pesth, 3d inst. :—" A report has been
current in the Banat that traces have been found
of the crown of Hungary. A Jew has de-
clared that it was concPAled near Borszig, in a
place which he indicated with great precision.
Some troops were sent with him to the spot,
but the search made was fruitless. He then
said that he must wait for further information from
Paris. He was afterwards arrested. It is supposed
that during the time of the Provisional Government
the crown must have been melted down to procure
money, as otherwise it must have been found."
A letter from Constantinople, of the 23d ult.,
in the Augsburg Gazette, says :—" The Ottoman
Porte has resolved to set KOSSUTH. at liberty on the
Ist of September next, and has communicated its in-
tention to the ambassadors of England, France, and
the United States. The Austrian Government de-
mands that the detention shall be provisionally con-
tinued, and invokes the treaty concluded with
Turkey on the subject. This treaty stipulated that
the Porte would detain the refugees until their release
should not compromise in any respect the States of
Austria, and that even then their definitive release
should only take place with the consent of the Em-
peror of ALISTILIA."

PORTUGAL.

the anniversary of the promulgation of the Charter of
1831. A grand reception was then held at the

rival at Denham's, they threw mud against a window
as a sign for him to let them in, and he accordingly
did so. Anne Denham, on seeing the stick, said,
" Why, this is the old man's stick. What do you
keep this for ?" and burnt it immediately. Clarke
further stated that Denham went to Bristol the next
day to sell the plate, and on his return divided the
proceeds between himself, Clarke, and Davies. A few
days afterwards, to an inquiry by Patrick Cusack, a
very sharp and shrewd police-officer, as to how the
mud had got on the window, Anne said that two
drunken men had flung it there. Cusack at the same
time seeing a pack of cards in the house, took them
up and said, " Cards were lost out of Miss Davies's
house, and therefore I shall take these." Anne there-
upon cried, and begged of him not to do so. This
pack was identified as the one lost from Miss Davies's.
It was proved that on the night of the burglary, a
stick belonging to an old gentleman was stolen from
the house, and that about four years ago Anne was
working as a dressmaker in the house, and had seen
a gold watch on the mantlepiece and the plate in the
cellaret ; and that in neither case were watch or plate
kept in those places, but merely happened to be so on
that occasion. The mesh left behind at Miss Davies's
matched with a needle found at the prisoner Davies's
lodgings. A centrebit, proved to belong to Davies,
fitted the holes bored in the door. The tollkeeper of
the chain bridge at Usk proved that a person much
like Davies passed that bridge, which is about a mile
from the scene of the burglary, about two hours be-
fore the time that the burglary was committed, and
in taking his change turned his head away from the
light as if to avoid recognition.
After a very long investigation both prisoners
were convicted, and Davies was sentenced to be
transported for life, and Denham for ten years.

PRINCE ALBERT AT STONEHENGE

SOUTHAMPTON, AUG. 11.—His Royal Highness Prince
Albert and the Prince of Wales, accompanied by Colonel
Gordon, Equerry in Waiting, landed in the Southampton
Docks this afternoon from the Fairy, en route to Salisbury
and Stonehenge. On landing, Prince Albert and the heir-
apparent were received by the Earl and Cauntes of Claren-
don, and by Colonel Wylde and Lord Paget, who were
waiting to embark in the Elfin on a visit to her Majesty at
Osborne, and by Colonel Henderson, a director of
the London and South-Western Railway; Captain Pea-
cock, the superintendent; and Mr. Joh❑ Levy and other
principal officials of the docks. His Royal Highness
Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales returned from
Salisbury in the royal carriage under the charge of Mr.
Watkins, the superintendent of the railway at South-
ampton, about half-past six, and departed by the Fairy
for Osborne, amid loud cheers from a number of persons,
whom a hope of the sight of these illustrious visitors
had collected in the docks. We understand the object of
the journey of the Prince Consort was to show the young
Prince the ruins of Stonehenge, and some other matters
of interest in the vicinity of Salisbury Plain. Prior to
starting for the marine residence of the Queen, the
Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, accompanied by Mr. Thomas
Powell, the Collector of the Customs, and Captain Pea-
cock, paid a visit of inspection to the Peninsular and
Oriental Steam Navigation,Company's ship Ganges, just
about to start for India; the beautiful fittings and admi-
rable equipments of which were spoken of by his Lord-
ship in terms of the highest commendation. The mon-
ster steam-ship Parana, of 2,500 tons, belonging to the
Royal West India Steam Company, was subsequently
visited and inspected by the Earl of Clarendon, who
seemed struck with her gigantic size, which combines
great strength and power, with large capabilities for
speed.

SICILY.

The Gazette de Venice of the 9th instant an-
nounces that armaments were being organised in
Sicily. They were also constructing at Syracuse
batteries level with the sea, the castle was provided
with artillery, and fortifications had been raised at
Castro Giovanni, in the centre of the island. General
FILANGIERI had visited the strongest points to see if
they were in an effective state.

TUE ACCIDENT ON TUE GREAT WESTERN RAIL-
WAY.- The following persons were injured by the collision
described in yesterday's paper : Mrs. Melsom, of the Pot-
tery, Temple-street, a compound fracture of the patella or

DUBLIN UNIVERSITY

" Chatterton" and " Maurice Tiernay" are conti-
nued. In the former, we find the boy• poet, after an
unsuccessful attempt to impose on Horace Walpole,
bent on abandoning his native town, and following
the professional walk of literature in London. The
capture of the ill. starred Due d'Enghein, whose hur-
ried execution in the midnight fosse of Vincennes,
brought such odium on Napoleon (Talleyrand and
Savary being in our mind the real culprits), is nar-
rated in the latter. " A Visit to Warmbrunn and
Grcefenberg in Silesia" is told in a fluent conversa-
tional style, the very thing for the pages of a maga-
zine. The lovers of Spenser will enjoy the paper on
" Irish Rivers," devoted to the Mulla and Allo,
streams which the glorious poet loved and
sung. An article, entitled " The British Of-
ficer," is exceedingly worthy of perusal, replete
with excellent observations, and written by
one of evident experience in matters relating to the
military profession ; we are inclined to attribute it to
the same agreeable and accomplished writer to whom
the magazine has been indebted for several months
past for that admirable series of dramatic feuilletons,
" Leaves from the Portfolio of a Manager." A
criticism on " Pendennis" treats that work of Mr.
Thackeray fairly and impartially, not forgetting to
give him a rub for his cockneyish Hiberno-phobia,
the worst fault of a shrewd and humorous author,
who, if " Pendennis" be not a first-rate production,
has, at least, in " Vanity Fair" given to English
literature the best every-day-life novel since
the immortal " Tom Jones., In the opening paper,
" Fruits and Flowers," we find a garland of poetic
beauties skilfully selected, but J. F. Slingsby might,
we think, just as well, and somewhat better, figure as
a contributor of original matter than as a lazy collector
of the effusions of others. The best among them are the
knightly tale, " Sir Rainulf's Henchman," " The
Roses," " A Storm at Sea," a sonnet commencing—
" Down springs the hawk-winged tempest from his lair
Upon the slumbering sea,"
and " July," a set of delectably melodious stanzas,
of which we give one as a specimen—a perfect pie .
ture

" Not a single cloud is drifting
O'er the far blue sky,
As throughout the twilight starless,
In a light skiff, not cigarless,
Quiet gaze to Heaven uplifting,
Languidly I lie,
And behold thy glories shifting,
Beautiful July I"
Of the deeply interesting paper, " The Line of the
La kes," we shall only say at present that it merits
the attention of every one desirous of entertaining a
just conception of the vast natural advantages pre-
sented by the peculiar features of British North
America. We may take a future opportunity of ad-
verting to its valuable contents.
