RESULTS OF THE MILAN INsURREcrIoN.-
The Newark Advertiser extracts the follow.
ing paragraph from private letter recently
received from an American lady, sojourning
in the vicinity of the districts affected by the
recent instruction in Lombardy:
80" y But must Just add word of our
sufferings just now in sympathy with poor
down trodden Lombardy. You have, doubt
less, Gro this learned that nm attempt ut insur-
rection by the iron.bound slaves of Milan,
has been visited by such atrocious dcspotism
rs has not been dreamed of in modern times.
O c'ea rraiment afreur! Thousands Of poor
Swiss, whose sustcnance depended on their
daily labors, have seen their wives and chill
drsn, without food or notwithstanding all
. they had at the mercy of the barbarians. Tho
city of Milan has been for weeks guarded as
by siege; ut every door armed soldiers, and
the most horrible executions, and in fact MUIR
ders, by the Austrian soldiers are committed
every hour-crueltics unheard of since the
middle ages But the last astounding act of
despotism is the seizure by the Austrian gov
eminent Of many of the richest palaces Of
the princes and mobiles, which have been
turned into barracks for the army; and final
ly, all the wealth Of every Lombard who was
in any way compromised in '48 has been Sc.
questercd, and the revenues appropriated to
the support of the army. This includes hun
dreds who have since become citizens of this
and other countries, who are thus chan sed in
aday from princes to beggars! O! what we
ace Of the effect here only, is too HORRIBLE
But certainly England, America and Pied
mont, cannot look on and do nothing, when
their own citizens nre thus atrociously robbed
by Austria without law or reason.

CURE FOR NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Onc-who
forget to attach his sign manuel-writing me
from Hanover, Pa, for Squash seed, adds a
recipe for the Rheumatism which he highly
recommends. Not having seen it before
will give it the benefit of the Rural's circula-
ton, for the good Of the afflicted.
"With one pint Of SPIT Turpentiuc, tho.
roughly mix one ounce Barbados Tar. Rub
tho parts afflicted well with it, by hot fire
before retiring, for three successive nights;
then omit three nights, when make the appli.
cation again; and like manner the third, when
ordinary cases will yield"
It's easy to be tried and no harm can come
from the use.

W The following pathetic scrap was
picked up in the rotunda of the Capitol, at
Washington, one day last week:
81 would not live always, ask not to stay
Where visions of Office grow less every day;
Where my letters and petitions find no chance
ofperusal,
Where my pleas for an Office meet but with
refusal;
That would not live always, ask not to
stay,
I'll prove by leaving Washington this very

A FAITHFUL DoG.-We were told this
morning, that for some two or three weeks a
strange dog had been lying in the passage
leading to the city clerks office, from whence
he had not stirred n moment for water or
food. A benevolent gentleman this morning
coaxed off the dog, for the purpose Of feed
ing him, when it was discovered he had been
ali this time guarding silver watch, which
had been hid in tho passage, close by where
he lay. lie doubtless would have died at his
post. After being fed, he returned to his
watch. Can humanity boast greater faith

THE New SILVER CoINAGE.-The officers
of the mint at Philadelphia are now closely
engaged in coming the new silver pieces Of
the denomination of three, ten and twenty
five cents. In order to meet the public wants
for small silver change, the work at the mint
now goes on both at night and by day. The
new quarter of q dollar weighs precisely four
penny weights, and is " grains less than the
former piece. As compared with the current
Spanish quarters, the new coin is decidedly
heavier and somewhat finer. None of the
new dimes or half dimes have yet been struck.

NEWSPAPERS.

EVERY man when he awakes in the morn.
Ing, finds that the reflections suggested by
ie preceding day, have been, if not wholly
liiterated, at least suspended by sleep; that
new topics of conversation are wanted, and
that Prise is on tiptoe for new calls. A
family you'd often drink the tea of lethe
and eat'the feast of taciturnity, were they not
happily relieved from torpor Of thought and
immobility of tongue, by the entrance of
newspaper.
It is possible, indeed, that the weather
might furnish brief subject Of debate, but
the wind must blow hurricane, and the rain
descend in torrents, to be worth more than a
moments conversation. When the newspa-
per appears however, all America is united to
refresh the languid memory, to quicken the
dull thoughts, and give expedition to the
communicative tongue.
No publication surely is so fertile in
sources of reflection to those who choose to
think, or of conversation to those who pre-
fer the moro noisy business of talking.
When a newspaper is introduced at the
breakfast table, what copious source of
conversation arises for the rest of the day.
A man may give n very able account of m
estate without the least desire of purchasing
it; and the whole family may dispute on the
merits Of an entertainment, which not one of
the company means to partakc Of. It is pos
sible to compassionate the distresses of or.
phan families without contributing sxpence
to their relief, and even to read of the cures
performed by famous syrup" without de.
string to taste drop of it. Conversation
and acton arc different things and if news
paper furnishes the former it is doing much

pers, we have only tosuppose that they were

BALTIMORE AND ONO RAILRoAD.-The
business done on this road during the month
of March has been unprecedentedly large
The official statement will be submitted to
the Board on Wednesday next, and we learn
that it has already been shown to some of
the Directors. 1t is as follows, in round
numbers:
Receipt on Main Stem for March, $4,000
on the Washington branch, $4,000
Total receipts of March, 100000
This is an increase on the Main
Stem, over the month Of
March, 1852, Of $4,000
And on the Washington branch Of $4,000
Total increase, $4,000
The large receipts on the Washington
Branch arose mainly from the travel growing
out of the recent Inauguration of President
Pierce, and arc larger than the receipts from
the inauguration Of President Taylor by Sll,-
00O The increase Of travel on the main
stem may, in part, be ascribed to the same
cause, but the increase in the receipts from
freight belong entirely to the opening of the
road to Wheeling The increase from these
is $4,000! This would give, at the same
rate, IN increase of nearly nine hundred
thousand dollars in year. The total re-
ccipts for the month are larger by $4,000
than previous month since the road was con.
structcd. We learn that the receipts for the
present month Of April, according to exist
ing indications, will not fall much short Of
