GENOA, April II, 1853.
port and New York is at length made secure, by
contract between the Trans Atlantic Company and
the royal government. which was duly signed at
Turin last week. The company, which is chartered
for twenty years, with capital Of two millions Of
dollars, is bound to establish two lines of monthly
steamers, viz: one between Genoa and New York,
and another between Montevdeo and Genoa and
the government guarantees to each line q sum equal
at least to IS 600 per voyage for carrying the mails
ard accords to the company certain other important
privileges and resources. The vessels are to stop at
Madeira and other intermediate points; and are to
be Of at least 500 tons and $50 horse power. The
government required the subscription of sufficient
amount of the capital to secure the enterprise, be-
fore the contract was signed. Some large English
houses have taken stock to the amount Of 5000 900
The Submarine Telegraph Line across the Medi-
terranean, (ya the Islands of Corsica and Sardinia
will be speedily executed, and the British govern
ment has just issued orders for branch from Cape
Bon, on the African coast, to Malta. The internal
improvements of this country progress correspond
iDgly. Some ten railways, equal together to $40
English miles, are now progressing towards compile
tion and arrangements have been made for connect,
ing lines in Switzerland. If peace be preserved
few years longer, this port must recover something
OF its ancient relative importance.
The New York Crystal Palace Exhibition will
give the American public fair idea of the present
state Of the arts and industry Of the kingdom. The
invitation issued through committee at the capital
TO the artists and producers, has been promptly re-
sponded to, and they are forwarding rich specimens
Of their best productions. The bark Maria Eugenia,
which sails for New York to-day, takes out about
fifty TONS comprising nearly 300 packages, and much
larger shipment will be made towards the close OF
the month. The country will be much better repre-
scented in New York than it was in the great London
exhibition both as to quantity and quality Some OF
the specimens of statuary and painting that have
in the finest style OF art, and doubt II the
world can show finer velvets and silks than those
which will be furnished by the manufacturers Of Sar
dinia. Two vessels at Leghorn are now taking in
also some rich specimens of the fruits OF Tuscan
f. genius.
The Sandman frigate San Giovanni, (St John,)
Captain Incisa is about to sail for New York, under
government orders, with some eighty political refu-
gees, who were compromised by the late disturb
ances in Milan and Lombardy. They are mostly
active young men, some Of them belonging to noble
| Lombard families, who have been prescribed by
Austria and this government could not, consistently
with its treaty obligations permit them to remain IN
its dOmnions. Nor would any OF the continental
governments not even liberal but overawed SwtZer-
| land, afford them shelter.
Humanely considering their pitiable condition,
/
of retreat the government generously resolved, at
ter correspondence and consultation with the Anne
rican minister at Turin to give them free passage
| to the United States, the only secure refuge from
Austrian rage, and to furnish each with gratuity
of 20 francs on their arrival at New York None OF
them speak the English language, and fear they
will find it difficult to get employment but 1T Is an
act OF mercy to send them where they will at least
be beyond the reach of the executiOner-the only
alternative. l commend them to the benevolent re-
gard Of the friends of oppressed humanity.
DR.. Baker, the U. s. Consul here, during recent
visit to Egypt, procured the donation Of valuable
block of Egyptian granite, for the monument to
Washington. 1t is taken from the ruins OF an an
cient temple at Alexandria, supposed to have been

Genoa by the French line Of steamers gratuitously
in honor to the memory Of Washington
