Sivoii, the violin-player, is now at New York. His
audiences are described as " the complete fill of the Taber-
nacle (the largest church in the town)."
An account is given in a French journal of a gentleman
committing suicide by cramming his ear full of gun-cot-
ton, and igniting it with a cigar.
Mr. Newman arrived at Rome on the 28th .of October,
and had an interview with the Pope the next day, at
church. He occupies chambers in the Propaganda College.
The sale of gun cotton in Bavaria has been prohibited
by the government, on the ground that, as it cannot by
its appearance be distinguished from ordinary cotton, its
sale may possibly give rise to accidents.
The Duke de Bordeaux was married, on the sth instant,
to the Princess Maria Theresa Beatrice, sister to the
reigning Duke of Modena, the only sovereign of Europe

princess's fortune is said to amount to 12 millions of francs.
The cholera has extended its ravages from Persia to

disease were, by the last accounts, perishing daily.
Fourteen hundred persons in all: bad then been carried
off. All the bazaars were closed ; the greatest terror

REPUBLIC OF CRACOW.—The protecting powers have
resolved to make an end of the independence of the repub-
lic of Cracow. so dangerous for the repose of its neigh-
bours, and to sanction its incorporation with the Aus-
trian dominions to which it belonged before 1809. The
Russian and Prussian commissioners having received or-

ders from their respective governments to regulate certain'

reference to that resolution, it is probable that this deter-
mination will be published at Cracow in a few days.
Thus, the extinction of the republic of Cracow, and its

may be considered as a fact accom-

plished. The three protecting powers have acknowledged
that the existence of Cracow, as an independent state, is
incompatible with the security of Germany; and as they
had established that republic alone, and without the co-
operation of any other power, to try whether a shadow of
Polish independence could be suffered to exist, result had
not justified their expectations. In fact, at the creation
of the republic, and afterwards, in different treaties, those
_ _

powers expressly stated, that should circumstances render
the existence of the republic dangerous, they reserved to
themselees the right to annex it again to Austria.—Augs-
burgh Gazette.

Dr. Nugent, domestic physician to Mr. O'Connell, has

.
been appointed inspector of lunatic asylums, although the
situation had been promised to the brother-in-law of the
Lord Chancellor. _ _

The statement in the Dublin Evening Mail that
O'Connell bad announced that the Repeal association was
indebted to him about £6OO has not been contradicted by
any of the repeal party. Even the agitator did not notice
it at the association meeting on Monday last. The state-
ment in the Mail must therefore be true.

ENDOWMENT OF UNITARIANISM.—The government
has endowed four additional professorships of theology in
connection with the General Assembly of the Presbyte-
rian Church of Ireland; and in addition it is said that
two professorships in connection with the Unitarian body
in this country have also been endowed. •
The prospects of Erin are beginning to brighten. The
idea of a famine winter is fading away. The latest accounts
state that " corn and provisions of all kinds are becoming
more abundant, and, greatly to the satisfaction of all par-
ties save one, the speculators and hoarders are likely to be
the sufferers in the combination to uphold the market
prices of food beyond their natural level."
Twelve months ago, owing to the great mass of notices
of railway bills, the Dublin Gazette was increased to six
