The California ACQUISITION.

The London Chronicle refers to the
case with which the adventurers from the
United States have constructed a State
government. 1t says an American emigra-
ton carries along with it the seeds of its
national institutions, which begin to ger
inmate as soon as ever it has found a
parmanent resting-place in new soil 1t
contrasts this with the trouble experienced
in the British Colonies and the difficulty
that British statesmen experience to work
out satisfactory system. On the expan-
sion of the Union it adds
"Experience only can convince us that
the world is destined to see, for any
heightened period of time, the unprece-
dented spectacle of "a united Federal State

North American continent, but stretching
from the banks of the st. Lawrence and
the Columbia to the head of the Califor-

Prussia.
A Telegraphic despatch from Berlin an
nounces that the Austrian Cabinet had
made formal protest against the convo-
cation of the German Parliament at Err
furt-that the Austrian Government al
luded to the probability of armed interfe-
renee by Austria in the affairs of Germa-
ny.
The same despatch states that the Prus-
sian Government had answered the Aus
trian protest by declaring that Prussia
would maintain her rights, These ac-
counts have been partially confirmed.
The Cologne Gazette, in telegraphic
message from Berlin, announces that the
King has signed law for the election Of

France.
The personal quarrels Of the members
of the Legislative Assembly terminated in
some half dozen duels. M. Pierre figured
in three or four of these encounters. None
however, terminated fatally.
Measures for modifying the constitution
are still discussed. 1t is now suggested
TO change the Legislative Assembly into a

power of electing the President, and of
extending the term of his office to such a

From Constantinople, nothing has tram
spired to change the previous pacific course
of events. 1t is confidently stated that the
British fleet has orders to withdraw from
the Dardanelles.
Nothing further has been heard respect
ing the whereabouts of the Hungarian and
Polish refugees. The Russian Ambassa-
dor has once more been admitted to an
interview with the Grand Vizer.
The diplomatic relations between Rus
sia and the Porte may be presumed to
have been renewed.
The Ionian Islands have been restored
to perfect tranquility.
We have official information that the
dispute between the French Government
and the Emperor of Morocco is satisfac-
torily adjusted.
Austria appears satisfied with what
Turkey has done, by transporting the
Hungarian refugees to the interior.
Russia demands that the Polish refu-
gees be expelled from the Ottoman EN-
pire, and that the chief should be impris-
oned.

The cholera has considerably abated in
every part of Mexico. There are still a
few cases at Salina, in the State of San
Luis Potosi. The whole number of deaths
in that city, from the 9Th Oct. to the 10Th
Nov, is 9l.
On the 10th of October, the Indians had

Cumberland Coal.

The New York Herald of Wednesday
SAYS:
1t appears, from recent experiments on
the Camden and Amboy road, that Cum
be rland coal had fully sustained its char
acter as superior fuel for the use of rail-
roads; and, following the experiments of
the Camden and Amboy, similar examples
are in progress on the Reading road. 1t
has been ascertained that Cumberland coal
will create more steam than any other
species of coal, and when compared to
wood, the difference, in point of economy
is not less satisfactory. The official re-
ports of the Baltimore and Ohio and Cam
den companies have proved that a ton of
Cumberland coal is equal to two and a
half cords of wood; consequently, coal at
Sc would result in saving of fifty per
cent, wood being at S4 the cord. 1t is
not, however, very probable that the Erie
company will use Blossburg coal for sew
eraI years, as wood will be abundantly
supplied at price not TO exceed one dol
lar and twenty-five cents.
To the above we may also add, that E..
X. Collins, Esq, has made several -.valua-
ble experiments, with and without blow
ers, which have resulted in the conviction
that Cumberland coal is the best fuel for
steam purposes.

A Touching Incident.

Many beautiful and eloquent incidents
took place during the sojourn of the Hun
garian refugees in New York, but the fol-
lowing, which occurred on Monday NOR
ming last, is among the most touching ev-
idences of fraternal devotion which we
have ever read:
"Among the vast crowds who thronged
TO pay their respects to the illustrious
Hungarians, were three sturdy Germans,
evidently workingmen. They were in
troduced, and remained some time in con-
versation with Gov. Ujhaza and family.
Finally two Of them withdrew and left
the third, who continued to talk, but
seemed to have something to say which
he could not easily get out. At last ad-
dressing Mile. Clara the daughter of Mr..
Ujhaza, he said that exiles, who were
remote from country and friends, and
whose property had been confscated in
consequence of their devotion to freedom
and the peoples rights, they must be in
an embarrassed condition. Then draw
ing from his pocket bank note, be said:
''Fraulein, this is but little for am poor

Mile Ujhazy who had not expected
any thing of this kind; and was rather
embarrassed, replied in tone of emotion
that she was deeply grateful for such kind
ness, but that they were not in condition
to ask it, when her father said: "Take it,
my daughter, and feel thyself and us all
more honored than if monarch had be-
slowed millions upon thee!" at the same
time warmly pressing the hand of the
noble laborer, and assuring him that they
could not forget him. The effect Of this
incident may be better conceived than
described. There was not dry eye in
the room; while every heart beat a res
ponse to the sympathy of the noble Ger
man laborers. Such evidences of de vo-
tion speak more eloquently than the
achievements of heroes on bloody fields;
and liberty cannot long be withheld from

Answering FeoI according to his Folly.

The American Messenger for August
has the following:
During the month Of November, 1S43,
a clergyman and an atheist were in one of
the night trains between Albany and Utica.
The night being cold, the passengers gath
cred as closely as possible around the
stove. The atheist was very loquacious,
and was soon engaged in a controversy
with the minister. In answer to an in
quiry of the reverend gentleman as to what
would be mans condition after death, the
atheist replied: "Man is like pig; when
he dies, that is the end of him." As the
minister was about TO reply, red-faced
Irish-woman at the end of the car sprang
up, the natural red of her face glowing
more intensely with passion, and the light
of the lamp falling directly upon it, and
addressing the clergyman in voice pecu-
liarly startling and humorous from its i'm
passioned tone and the richness of its
brogue, exclaimed: ssArrah, now, will ye
not let the baste alone! Has he not said
he was pig! And the more you pull his
tail the louder. he'll squaler' The effect
upon all was electric; the clergyman apol-
ogized for his forgetfulness in attempting
to make any reply to such an assertion,
and the atheist was mute the remainder of
the journey.
