A WORD OF CON- ENDATI0N.
To the Editor of the National Era:

To The Editor of the National Era:
SIR: u ncle TOMS Cabin y increases in inter-
est and pathos with each successive number
None Of thy numerous contributors, rich and
varied as they have been, have deeply interest
ed thy female readers of this vicinity as this story
of Mrs Stowe has thus far DONE and promises
to do.
The noble character Of Mrs Shelby, her just
and comprehensive views Of slavery, and its ne
cessary consequences; the case of Eliza and her
boy, with its touching inciden,s-indeed, the
whole history of slavery as it is universally
known, and most strikingly developed in this
story is peculiarly calculated to enlist the moral
and religious sympathies, and call to action the
latent energies Of the female heart.
And wishing to extend the salutary influence
which think these numbers and the general mat
ter of the Era will inculcate, | enclose a small
" voluntary" covering three months subscription
to the names annexed
| know nothing Of the "poluies" Of the ladies,
or Of their sentiments upon slavery; but know
or learn they have woman's heart, highly Guilt
vated and alive to every appeal Of human want or
woe, aud exert an influence corresponding to the
commanding position they occupy in society.

Punch FOR JUNE l4th contains a couple of
admirable illustrations. They are both imaginary
scenes in the Crystal Palace" The first cut
represents group Of fue-looking workmen-the
leader a vigorous specimen of manhood-just
meeting a gentleman-their A" millionaire" em-
ployer, perhaps his ladies' Between the
parties are four little children-two belonging to
the operative and two to the capitalist, exchang-
ing, as children will their frank tokens Of recipro
cal sympathy and love- Punch" looks approx
ingly down from the gallery, his comical features
expressive of the utmost benignity The piece
Is styled, "THE Pound AND THE SHILLING
=" WhOsUeT thought Of meeting you here ?" The second
engraving gives us four visitors three men and q
woman, of the humble class gazing with sdmira-
ton up to an innsnss block Of coal. The motto is
THg BLACK DIAMOND, THE REAL MOUNTAIN OF
LlGur.n Such pictorial teachers need no COM
mcnt- In his fun, Punch" is almost always thor
oughly on the side of humanity and when, in his
sairical vein, he presents sad parody on the
Greek Slave" in the shape of q ooored female
manacled, and labels it "the Virginia Slave,D a
truth as pictured to be pondered with shame, and
not to be turned from with resentment.

the Risorgunsn, of Turin, gives some particulars
about the arrest Of Count Guiccardini and six
of his friends, which was mentioned few days
ago 1t appears that, on the arrival Of the police,
they were sitting round table, reading chapter
of the Gospel according to St. John. They were
taken to prison, and examined by a magistrate on
a charge of having attempted to overthrow the
religion OF the State; but the results Of this ex-
animation being entirely in their favor the public
prosecutor declared there were not sufficient
grounds for continuing the proceedings. The
correspondent adds, that the police, In virtue of
the discretionary power with which 1t is invested
