Of musical instruments will be unrepresented Piano fores

making great exeons that port be selected the
landing place Of your contributions to this Exhibition and
the Mayor Of Southampton and depuaon Of the inhabitants
waited upon Mr.. LAWRENCE Monday to solicit his aid
in promoting their wishes The interview highly inte
resting one. Respec ing it the Daily News says:
"Nearly cent? les and hall ago the Pilgrim Fathers
sailed from Southampton TO enjoy civil and religious liberty in
American wilderness These destined to be the
founders of great and Independent republic. Their de-
scendants, after proving American soil that they
equal to the mother country, about to attempt
prove British ground that they her equal in arts and
it will be most singular and interesting coincidence if the
descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers should, in order to
gage in this great and peaceful contract enter, in 1851
the very port from which their ancestors driven, by
secution, in 1920.
We willing that the good people Of Southampton should
have their wish unless the PENNSYLVANIA the bearer Of
your contributions shores but cannot consent that
she should ad her moopgs any where but in the Of
the THAMES, and London practicable. The pro-
posed exhibition in New York in 1852 with universal
acceptance and favor but cannot induce the papers

att
in London The New York exhibition is regarded very
voraby by all pares and hailed as the second step
which could possibly be taken in these wordimportant
movements .., M -
FRANCE furnishes no news, but plenty Of ma
terials for conjecture to its future condition, in
the rapid progress which the National Assembly is
every day making towards paramount sovereignty
over all the other constituted authorities of the
State. 1t seems to be gathering the whole power
of the Republic into its own hands. 1t has lately
set the action Of the Judiciary at defiance by the
contravention of its decision in the case of M.
Manguin, a member Of the Assembly, who had been
imprisoned for debt; whilst its action in that of NJ
Yon is equally in contempt of the Executive. the
Assembly disposes of the army. Therefore there
is nothing between it and absolute uncomfortable
power. Stormy debates may be expected to fol-
low, for the political passions of the members are
only dormant, and recent events are calculated to
call them into action. All that we hear of LOUIS
NAPOLEON is that in his zeal for Pro Mono he ex-
presses his profound disgust at the intoerant con-
duct of British Protestants, and their want of re-
spect for the dignitaries and head of the Roman
Catholic Church.
The Morning Herald says, g 1t requires no gift
:" of prophecy to predict that before the end Of
I" 1851, ITALY will be the theatre of remarkable
/" events and, if we be not mistaken, of remarka-
/" able changes" We think this very likely, and
feel that all change must be for the better. The
Pdpal Government has determined to order all
naked statues in the churches be covered, incud-
ing the little marble angels that have for ages been
exposed to the public gaze, and the Genius at the
tomb Of Clement, by Canova. Paintings are also,
says the Messagere Modanese, likely to undergo
the same process. What next?
The Senate of SARDINIA has, by 81 votes to 7,
abolished the feudal right Of the barnalita, by
which the tenant was obliged to have his corn
ground at his landlords mill. The Minister of
Finance has also announced to the Chamber of
Deputies that he has effected reduction of
100000 francs in the expenditure of the State.
These are two steps in the right direction; and
Sardinia seems to be the only part of Italy which
is inclined to take such steps. NAPLES is strength
ening herself against her own subjects, by import
ing large bodies of Swiss mercenaries to recruit
her army. The Government is also carrying on
proceedings with great severity against large num-
bers of the Liberals. An encouraging feature of
these trials is the digned tone of the lawyers who
are now defending the prisoners, and placing the
narrative of the Government ant-consttutonal in.
trigue in categorical form, which presents picture
of immortality on the part of the Executive which
is truly deplorable.
NAPLES is filed with addresses Z" to the people,
which are supposed to emanate from Mazzini.
Similar papers are circulating in I,eohorn Genoa
and Rome. TUSCANY is also filled with i" dread Of
coming change" The constitutional party in Pisa
is said to be about to make demonstration, and
numerous bodies of soldiers parade the town daily
by way of intimidation.
GERMANY is, however, the great point Of attrac-
tion and the conferences at DRESDEN the theatre to
which the eyes of all politicians are directed. Lord
PALMERsToN has addressed circular note to all
English agents on the con,ipens requiring them to
maintain strict neutrality in relation to all ques
tions connected with German politics. strong
protest. on the part Of the British Government has
been presented to the Governments of Germany,
