A strange affair occurred three days ago at
Revigny (Meuse). A female servant named Laurent
entered the shop of a woman named Heblot, and stated
that she had called to pay a bill. The shopkeeper opened
her account-book to strike off the amount, but no sooner
had she done solhan the other woman rushed on her, and
with a knife stabbed her several times. The shopkeeper
cried out for help, and a neighbour hurrying in rescued
her from the assailant, otherwise she would probably have
been killed. The woman Laurent was arrested. The sole
reason that she assigns for the attack is that she hated the
other. The latter received numerous wounds, but none of
them dangerous.

The union of Italy under one crown is now
plainly an inevitable event. The overwhelming
majority in favour of annexation to Sardinia, and
the still more overwhelming battalions of Victor
Emmanuel, have now settled that point. The
Bourbon despot has now little more than the
ground he stands on to call his own. As no single
will has produced the movement, no single will
can arrest it Were even Austria to gain a tem-
porary success, in a few years the strife must
commence again. The seed of liberty has been
sown broadcast over the Italian peninsula; it has
taken root, and the country is overrun with it.
It may be said, with truth, that in no town,
even in Venetia, are there to be found a
dozen families who do not desire to be

joined to the Italian Kingdom, and who
would not be ready to drive the last Austrian out
of their country. The future of that empire in her
dearly-kept province is now easily to be read.
It needs no prophetic vision to see the white coats
slowly and sullenly marching out of Verona, and
abandoning, amid the suppressed excitement of the
people, the fortifications lately finished at such
enormous cost at Venice. If we see this, we can
well imagine that the Czar Alexander and his
Minister see it too, and that, refracted and dis-
torted by all sorts of pedantic mediums, it at last
reaches the perceptions of the Prussian Cabinet.
In fact, every one can see the hopelessness of a
new campaign in Italy, except the provoked and
vindictive Sovereign who is longing to undertake
it. That Francis J oseph was ready for this mad
act there can be little doubt, and that he went to
Warsaw to seek fer sympathy, if not help, is equally
certain. But how he could have expected the
Russian and Prussian Courts to countenance his
schemes passes the comprehension of ordinary
observers. It is a happy thing for the world that

the Northern Powers are more suited for defence
than aggression, and do not easily bring their
legions to the assault of free States. Of late Rus-
sia, the most formidable of them, has received a
deadly wound, and would hardly step beyond
her frontiers to support the most faithful of allies
or the most cherished of causes. Austria has
done nothing to deserve such a sacrifice, nor are
the Bourbon throne and the sovereignty of the
Pope institutions which very much attract the
Russian people. We say the Russian people, for

here is a public opinion in the empire, which

of late made itself-felt, which the Czar is inclined
to respect, and which his counsellors are too wise
to thwart. This opinion has been all along very

adverse to Austria.

The quarrel between the two

empires on the subject of the Turkish war lks
really been not so much the doing of statesmen as
of society in general. The Russian people, high
and low, have resented the supposed perfidy of
Vienna, and have worked themselves into an an-

tipathy to everything Austrian which is far from '
having subsided. The political philosopher may
.draw some encouragement to believe in Russian
progress from the fact that the people have learnt
to hete as heartily as if they were civilised. Prince
Gortschakoff has notoriously made himself conspi-
cuous in the utterance of anti-Austrian opinions,
and, so far as a Russian statesman can consistently
do so, he has encouraged the Italian revolution.
We fully believe that from the Czar downwards
there is not one Russian in a hundred who does not
rejoice secretly that Austria should be humbled by
the success of her bold and pertinacious enemy.
Only the fear that a break up of the Austrian em-
pire might bring the revolution to its own fron-
tiers has induced the Czar to accept the proposals
fora reconciliation. Policy has got the better of
inclination, and if Austria, had been willing to offer
a heavy bribe, she might possibly have obtained
some halting and ungracious concession to her
views.

But Francis Joseph, though meditating conquest
on the Po, is not forgetful of his interests on the
Danube. It has always been the wish of those
who, like ourselves, would gladly see a strong and
prosperous State in Central Europe, that Austria
would look eastward, and, resigning all hope
of coercing the Italians, would undertake
the task of developing and civilising her Slavic and
Rouman provinces. It noy be that the Emperor
looks forward to influence in this direction as an
indemnity for his losses in Italy, and sees in the
treaty of Paris a security for himself not less than
for the Sultan. Or the pride of the Hapsburgmay
revolt from the indignity of renouncing for his
private advantage the stipulations of a treaty not
five years old, and which, in some of its parts, was
adopted on his own suggestion. Both Austria and
Prpssia are understood to have declined acceding
to any proposals for the modification of the Treaty
of 1856, Gortschakoff and Rechberg having at
their first interview, it is said, allowed their zeal
to hurry them into some warmth of expression.
This result might have been foreseen by any one
even moderately acquainted with the state of
Europe. It is plain that Russia will not help
her ally without driving a hard bargain, and
Austria, being free to fight or not, will prefer in-
activity to success at such a cost. There certainly
do remain behind considerations to which we
may some day have more particularly to direct
attention. The tide of revolution in 1848 broke
in vain, as the Emperor Nicholas boasted, on the
granite of holy Russia, but it may turn out that the
present flood is strong enough to wash away the
projections of this solid formation. If current re-
ports be not wholly incorrect, the Emperor Alexan•
der has been much startled by the attitude of the
Poles, who on his visit to Warsaw received him
with a coolness which he fancied highly significant.
Having relaxed much of the strictness of his father's
rule, and given the Poles a liberty to which they
had been unaccustomed, the Czar, in the regular
course of things, might have expected a favourable
reception. But the silence of the population has,
it seems, only tended to confirm suspicions that
were abroad before his visit. That the Poles are
unquiet, and that the movement is instigated from
support in a powerful quarter, is said to be the be-
lief of St. Petersburg. Should these suspicions
prove correct, the three Princes may draw closer
together, but it will, we think, be long before they
take the field in such a cause as the Austrian do-
minion in Italy.—Times,

PHILADELPHIA FALL MEETING.—The next race
was for the Associated Purse of 500 dole,, mile heats, best
two in three, and created a considerable amount of interest,
in consequence of there being five horses entered for it,
and all starters. The entries were as follows .—P. C.
Bush's bay filly Cyclone, three years ; T. Puryear's chest-
nut filly Rosa Bonheur, thaw years ; T. and T. W. Dos-
ell's grey mare Irona, five years ; J. Van Osler's bay
gelding Montague, four years ; W. Forepaugh's roan horse
Bacchus, six years. The betting was iu favour of Rosa
Bonheur, 100 dole. to 60 dole. being bet on her against the
field. Any price could have been obtained about Mon-
tague and Bacchus. Mr. Bush's bay filly Cyclone looked
in admirable condition, although she had not been in train-
ing more than a few weeks. Her forward state of prepara-
tion was stated to be result of her having been fed on Thor-
ley's Food for Cattle, which is alleged to be admirably
adapted for horses in training for the turf. She won the
first heat in clever style.—From the New York Tribeme,

THE FRENCH OFFICIAL DESPATCHES.
The Moniteur of Saturday published the de-
spatches addressed to the French Government by
General de Montauban, recounting the successes of
the Allied Expedition against the Chinese. The
Moniteur introduces the despatches to the notice of
its readers by the following observations :
" Tbe cannon of the Invalides has saluted the
news of the brilliant successes obtained by the allied
forces in China. The emotion of Paris instantly
spread to the very extremities of France, and every
one was anxious to know the official details received
by the Government. The subjoined despatches,
and the orders of the day that accompany them,
will satisfy the lively impatience of the country.
Written as it were under the fire of the enemy, they
are the most worthy homage rendered to the valour
of the troops of all arms who, under the two
allied flags, have made the Celestial Empire com-
prehend what soldiers it had to meet. In render-
ing an account of the operations of this war,
General de Montauban naturally dwells on those of
which he had the direction as commander-in-chief
of the French forces; the English Government will
doubtless give the same publicity to the reports of
its generals ; it is thus that will be completed the
recitals of an expedition to which the chiefs and
soldiers of the two allied nations have rivalled in
reciprocal esteem, valour, and devotedness.
" While preparations were being made in France
to celebrate the national solemnity of the 15th of
August, our troops powerfully contributed, on the
14th, to drive the Tartar army from its positions,
and to carry its entrenched camps. At six o'clock
in the morning of the following day, the French
cannon, to which the English artillery replied, an-
nounced the Emperor's fete. At half-past nine a
mass in music was celebrated in the French camp.
At five o'clock, these men, who on the previous day
were so ardent on the field of battle, were orgaHis-
ing foot races by regiments, each man with his
arms and six packets of ball cartridge. The fete
passed off with as much order as animation ; the
bands of the regiments played during divine ser-
vice, and our allies were able to admire the manner
in which a perfectly organised chorus executed the
Te Deum and the Domine salvumfac lmperatorenz.
In the middle of the camp was erected an altar
formed of branches ofshrubs and foliage ; the troops
were formed in squares, with the officers in the
centre. There is somothing touching in the thought
that on that day, so great for the Catholic world,
our soldiers, at a distance of 6,000 leagues from
the mother country, should repeat the religious
songs of their native land, and supplicate God for
the glory of France and tie preservation of the
Emperor's life. The celebration of mass in the
open air, in front of regiments, has in it something
grand, which elevates the soul and strongly strikes
the imagination. The English, who profess such
great respect for the observance of religious duties,
must have been struck with the devodon of onr
troops and with the imposing simplicity of our
ceremonies.

" Extra distributions were made to the different
French' corps; a last salvo of artillery terminated
the Emperor's fete, and our soldiers held themselves
in readiness to continue their glorious labours."
