The liberals demanded ofthc King three
days ago, that he should send his steamer and
1000 troops to Lombardy, and he consented.
They now want him to send his Swiss guards
away, which he can hardly do without giving
VI his throne. Once get these 5000 faithful
troops away, and there will be no check to ra-
pine and bloodshed. The greatest solicitude
prevails here among all classes who have any
thing TO lose. Every one, in every country,
looks at the United States as The safest and
most favored country on earth. Americans
abroad were never so proud oftheir native land
as they are now.

The boiler was thrown to a considerable dis

When the Halifax started from Watcrvlle
she had on board pleasure party of ladies' and
gentlemen, who fortunately were taken off bv
another steamboat a short time previous to the
explosion. The wonderful preservation from

fact that the boiler was placed at one end Of
the boat, while they were at the other end.
The boiler was new one, and was sent
down from this city some four weeks ago, pur-
posely for this boat IL was no doubt perfect

caused by racing. Another boat, called the
