THE ITALIAN ADvESTURER.

bentley's Miscellany contains an
extraordinary memoir Of that most ex-
traordinary Italian h-fend, Mascal-
bruni. 1t is from the pen of Captain
Medwin, who was an eye witness to
the miscreant's execution for murder
in one of the Swiss Cantons. He was,
it seems, the son Of pauper living in
the marshes Of Ancona, was taken no.
tice Of, in his boyhood, by an Italian
lawyer, whom, in gratitude for his pa
tronage, he robbed and murdered, and
then ran away to Paris, where he fig
ured as man Of fashion, and became
favoritc in the higher circles. Tired
Of the monotonous dissipation of the
French metropolis, he crossed the
channel and went to London.
He now turned his face toward the
channel and opened the campaign in
London, on a much more extensive
scale. He took up his quarters at Hig-
gingbottom's hotel, in the same year
that young Napoleon came to England.
and only left it when it was given up
to that lamented and accomplished
prince. It is not generally known
that he ever visited England. His So
journ in the capital was kept profound
secret. The master Of the hotel and
all his servants took an oath Of secre-
cy, and Prince Esterhazy and the
members of the Austrian embassy were
not likely to betray it. The prince
passed week with George the Fourth,
at the cottage at Windsor, and after
ward assisted at concert in the Han
over-square rooms, himself leading a
concerto on the piano. This by the by,
Mascalbruni, on that occasion, attract
ed all eyes, and was greeted after So
10, with the loudest plaudits. He had
now become the fashion; and, having
forged letter from one Of the cardi-
mails At Rome, to patroness at Al
mack's, obtained the entree, and made
one Of the three hundred that compose
the world Of London. You know,
however, that in this world there is
another world orb within orb-am

ELEGANT EXTRACT.

AT the late Forrest dinner, given in
Philadelphia, in honor Of the great A
merican tragedian, the distinguished
actor made a most eloquent and happy
reply to the complimentary sentiment
offered to him on the occasion. The
following beautiful extract from his
speech, refers to thrilling incident in
his life, and contains valuable moral.
Without the fostering care which tho
generous patron of his youth extended
to him, pluning his young wings for
the lofty flights TO which he has scared,
the great living master of the stage
would no doubt have been as undis-
.tinguished man as he was then an
"unlriended boy"
"The sounds and sights which greet
me here are liked with thrilling associ-
atoms. Among the voices which well
come me tonight, distinguish some
which were raised in kind approval
of my earliest efforts. Among the
faces which surround this board, | trace
linements deeply stamped on my me-

~rRE GENIUS sErrY.'

Thus does the editor Of the Boston
Transcript distinguishes those narrow
minded bipeds who are trying into the
domestic economy of their wives, and
finding fault with every kitchen ar
rangement. Hear him read lecture
to correspondent who complains Of
his wife for not keeping every thing
in kitchen and parlor just to his mind.
"Ir0uble Of a married man," is
the title Of long story we received
on Monday. written, as the signature
indicates by one william" somebody,
whose wife undoubtedly loves her own
sweet WILL, as dearly as any wife ought
to love an old betty of husband, who
is constantly interfering with domestic
arrangements, over which, by conven-
tional agreement, he has no right to
exercise any control. If we were fem

household, unless he superintends, di-
reefs and orders, from the boiling ola

such puerile intrusion, or that there are
so many families constantly charging

the house is always in the Kitchen

Of 66 inch stroke, and the total consumption of

al an average Of cwt., qrs., lbs. per mile-or

the voyage as compared with the Great Western

been united in close commercial sympathy with
Liverpool, Mr. Shaw explains II BY the extraordi-

1914 miles. The hull is divided into five complete
ly separate apartments by water-tighi bulk heads,
perfect security against collision or flre.
The following remarkable fact is stated by Mr..
Shaw, and we commend il to those who still obsti-
