BRowN UNIvERsITy.--The Christian Waterman,
in closing its account of the commencement exer-
cises of Brown University, makes the following re-
marks:
"Brown University has now completed the eight
ieth year of its history. While Rhode Island was
yet colony, and account of her doctrine touch
ing religious liberty, outcast from her sisters of
New England, the foundations of this institution
were laid by men Of noble hearts and elfdenying
philanthropy. The revolutionary war retarded its
growth; but since that period it has been constantly
gaining strength, and is now surpassed by no in
stution in the country in regard to efec tive teach
all the world, it is the glory of Rhode Island-the
chief ornament of the city in which it stands--the
city, whose princely merchants have nourished it,
and whose character as metropolis il has elevated
1t still needs support and generous add it needs
permanent endowments; and we hope that the mu-
nihccnce which sustained it in its early struggles
for existence will still carry it forward to position
in keeping with past achievements and with the
progressive spirit of the age"

B1ockwood's Magazine, in Review Of 50 werne's
Narrative of Voyage up the Nile,'' furnishes the
following description Of some of the strange scenes
passed through
"We can conceive few things more exciting
than such voyage MIR. Verne has accom-.
plished and recorded. Starting from the outposts
of civilization, he sailed into the very heart of
Africa, up "a stream whose upper waters then, for
the first time, furrowed by vessels larger than
a savage canoe-a stream Of such gigantic proper
tions that its width at thousand miles from the
sea gave II the aspect of lake rather than of
river The brute creation were in proportion to
the magnitude OF the water-coursc. The hippo
potamus reared his huge snout above the surface
wallowed in the gulleys that either hand run
the shore; elephants played in herds upon the pas
tures the tall giraffe stalked among the lofty palms,
snakes, thick as trees, lay coiled in the shiny
swanps; and ant hills ten feet high lowered above
the rushes. Along the thckly peopled banks hordes
of savages showed themselves gazing in wonder
at the strange ships, and making ambiguous GEES
tures variousy construed by the adventures as
signs of friendship hostility. Alternately sail
ing and towing, as the wind served or not; con-
stantly in sight of the natives, but rarely commu-
nicating with them; often cut Off for days from
land by intcrminable fields of tangled weeds the
expedition pursued its course through innumerable
rampant on which il hoated. Lions looked hun
cry, and savages shook their spears, but neither
showed disposition TO swim and board the fotilla."

italian Exiles.

By the arrival at this port of the Italian brig Ar.
SAGE, Captain Schiarffino, Friday night, we re-
ceived papers from Genoa and other parts Of Pied
mont. Last Saturday we paid visit to the vessel,
and were spectators Of most painful scene. We
found on board of Italian young men, all
exiles and fugityes from unhappy Italy, and every
one in the most destitute situation These gallant
youths belong to the most respectable families OF
Lombardy, and during two years of revolution and
war they fought in all the battles for the ndepend
ence Of their fatherland. Betrayed in Lombardy,
they passed into Piedmont, where they were sold
like lambs to Austrian ferocity, by the present dcs
pot of Sardinia.
Driven away from the plains of Lomcllina, they
went to Genoa, and, DESTROYS to maintain Italian
nationality under General Avezzana, they stood
bravely on the barricades against an imposing
army. Rome being the only sanctuary for Italian
freedom, they followed the hero Of Genoa, and for
three whole months they kept off of the walls of the
eternal city the republican army of republican
France! Disbanded by Oudinot, and unable to
join Garibaldi's legions, after the most dangerous
and fatguing marches in the Apennines, always
followed like wild beasts by Austrian assassins
they returned to Genoa, and while that friendly
population offered them shelter and every assist
ance, the government commanded them to leave
the Pedmontese territory, and threatened to give
them up to Radetzky if they remained any longer
in that kingdom. Captain Schiarffino kindly
offered to take them to the world, and now
they are here, without clothing and without any
means to provide for the most urgent wants of life
The Italians resident here trying assist their
brethren much lies in their power but we
must recolect that they are not numerous, and the
greatest part Of them belong to the noble but un-
fortunate families of politicalexiles
Among these exies there is also religious re-
former Of Italy, Father Anastazio Dele Plane, of
the Franciscan order of the Capucini. With cross
and sword in hand he fought on the barricades of
Genoa, side by side with Avezzana, preached the
pure religion of Christ, and attempted to overthrow
the tyranncal power Of King Vittorio Emanuel,
and to restore Genoa to a republican form of gov
ernment. This brave friar followed also the Italian
army into Lombardy, where he devotedly endured
their suffering and sacrifices We hear that it is
the intention of the Italians of New York to build
an Italian chapel under his direction. The situa-
ton of these unfortunate refugees appeals TO the
compassion of every friend of humanity, and il is
to be hoped they will meet the sympathy and aid
which their destitute circumstances require We
understand that all necessary information on the
subject can be obtained at the Office of the Eluo
pean- American, No. Spruce street, of Gen. Avez-
zana, and MIR. Foresti.

collision occurred on Saturday evening last
between train Of cars coming down from Harlem
and the six O'Clock New Haven train from this citv
which, but for the presence of mind and prompt
decision Of switch tender, must have resulted In
a lamentable destruction Of human life The col
lison occurred at Morrisiana, Just across the Har
lem river. There is but one track on the bridge
crossing the river, double track commencing Al
point a short distance beyond IL, connected. Of
course, by a switch. Near the same point the road
makes very short turn, preventing approaching
trains from seeing each other until within short dis
lance OF the switch. The switch tender who was st
his post at the time Of the collision had regulated the
rails that the New Haven train mi gbt pass 10 tbc
right, leaving the other track clear for the Harlem
Perceiying, however, from the close proximity of
the trains, that, although the locomotive and bag
gage cars OF the eastern train would clear the sin
gle track before the Harlem train reached il. die
latter must inevitably directly in the side of
the New Haven passenger cars, which there was
not sufficient time TO draw upon the other track
the switch-tender, with presence of mind and
prompt decision worthy Of admiration, decided To
let the trains meet each other upon the same track
the locomotive being vastly better able 10 with.
stand the conclusion than the passenger cars The
result was, that notwithstanding both engines were
completely wrecked, no one received serious per
sonal injury. Had an attempt been made to run
the eastern train upon the usual track the sacrifice
OF human life must unavoidably have been terri.
