A letter from Constantinople, of
the 18th ult. announces that the oues
ton of the Hungarian refugees at
Kutayeh has been definitely arranged.
The Emperor of Austria has granted
a full and entire amnesty to those re-
fngces, on condition that they shall
declare that they will not make any
attempt 10 re-enter Hungary. Eight
OF them, however, are excepted from
this amnesty, aud are 10 remain ali
Kutayeh until further orders. A.
mongst those excepted are Kossuth
and Bathiany. The Porte is 10 send
a commissary TO that town, accom-
panied by nj. Eder, an attache of the
Austrian legation, to identify those
amnestied and to receive their decla-
ton. Those persons are then to
proceed 10 Mondana, where thew
will find a Turkish ship to convex
them where they please, The Tu:.
kish government will defray their ex-
penses by sea and land. General
Dembinskiis expected daily at Con
stantnople, where he is permitted to
reside, under the protection of the
French Ambassador. The Russian
government has demanded from the
Porte considerable sum tor the ex-
pense attending the occupation of the
Danublan principalities.
austrian Barbmity.-The pupils
Of the polytechnic school at Vienna
have hitherto worn their hair long,
but were lately ordered to have It
cut off, as long hair was suspiciouslv
political. AS they did not obey at
once, they were arrested by the po-
lice, marched sffin body and duly
cropped. The Austrians have a
great reputation fol cruelty, but we
did not think they could be guilty of
SO barbarouS an act as this.
The want of any copper coin in
Peru has given rise TO a curious prac-
tice Of which Lieut.. Nav was inform
ed at 'Truxillo. A person coming to
the market ofthat city and not wish
ing to spend real upon every arti-
Gle, purchases reals worth of eggs,
with which he or she pro ,eeds to mar
ket; buying an eggs worth Of vege-
tables from one, and so on from 9th
ers, till all that was wanted has been
obtained. The eggs are taken as
current payment, and finally purchas-
ed themselves by those who need
them for use.
Fruit IreeS.-The new method of
planting fruit trees by planting the
scion, is great desideratum in the
ait Of obtainlning good fruit. 1t has
many advantages over grating be-
cause 1t is more expeditions and re-
qulres no stock nor tree. They NAV
be planted where they are required
to stand and the labor for one day
will be sufficient to plant out enough
for a large orchard after the scions
are obtained. The method of prepa-
ring the plant is as follows
Take the scions as for grating,
and at any time after the first ofFeb-
ruary and until the buds begin to
grow considerably and dip each end
OF the shoot into melted pitch, wax or
tallow, and bury it in the ground; the
buds uppermost, whilst the body lies
in horizontal position at the depth
0ftwo or three inches. We are in
formed that trees obtained in this
way will bear in four years from the
time of planting. We have no doubt
OF the practicability of this method of
raising fruit. a gentleman in this vi
cinity the last season planted about
twenty scions of different kinds of
pears which appear to flourish. The
composition used was melted shoe

An Irish cIergyman's servant, hav-
ing strong desire to try his hand at
pulpit oratory, managed, during the
indisposition of his master, TO get DOS
session of the pulpit. The congrega-
ton was very large; so large, indeed,
that Pat, who was 'unaccuston ed to
public speaking stood in the pulpit,
with his head hung down, and look
ing as sheepish as possible. Desper-
alton at last inspired with courage,
and .le bawled out-If any of we has
got any consate about praiching, We
mad better come up here
