ExTRAoR BINARY Discovery IN GERMANY.
"A very interesting historical discovery has
Just been made in the Museum of Aims, in
the palace Of ilohet zollcrn, the property of
the Prince of Hohenzellern Siamringcn.
The Marshal Of the court, remarked IN tho
Museum what appeared TO be door covered
with plaster. He had the plaster removed
and found wooden door and behind that
door was one of iron, fastened with four
enormous locks. NJ. de Mayenfish had the
locks opened, an operation of great difficulty.
The door being then flung open, subterra
mean passage was discovered. This passage,
between three and four hundred yards in
length, was blocked up at the end with rub
bish. The rubbish was removcd aud a large
chamber exposed On the walls at certain
intervals, were crucfxes, and figures Of the
Virgin and st John the Baptist all in wood,
clumsily executed; also, iron caps with spikes
IN the interior, heavy chains, pinchers, and
other instruments OF torture. In the centre
OF the room were hrge stone table, and
ten stone seats surrounding it. On the table :,
were a hammer; plate with, in bass relief
at the bottom, figures Of the Virgin and ol St.
John the Baptist five wooden balls, quite
black from age; and iron seal Of the famous
Vchemc tribunals. This seal, with the other
things, makes ii clear that the cavern was
employed for the sitting Of one OF those So
cret courts Of justice, whose mysterious and
terrible proceedings created profound terror
in the middle ages. Singular to relate, no
actual remains of any Vehemc tribunal have
before been discovered in Germany, though
savans have spent many weary years in ma
king all manner OF researches respecting
them.-Home Journak

NJ. ORFILA.-ln recent capital case for
poisoning in France, took occasion to repre-
sent to the court the reason why experts
could not reply to the question SO often put
to them, as to whether a sufficient quantity
Of poison to cause death had been administer
cd, aud the danger, in reference to the sup
preston of crime, the insisting upon such a
question gave rise to. The chemist may on
ly be able to detect the thousandth, or the
twenty thousandth part that has been ad-
mnistered, when the poison has been evao-
uated or excreted, and the discharges have
not been preserved. If all the poison has
been thus expelled, he may not be ab G to de-
tect even trace, and yet, although in the one
case what he has detected has been insufficient
to cause death, and in the other he hns found
none at ALL so that the jury may pronounce
that no poisoning has occurred, yet has tho
person died of such poisoning. To ascertain
the whole amount of poison that remains in
the body, the entire frame wonld have to be
submitted to analysis, which is clearly inn
praotible; while calculations of the quantity
existing in the whole body from that which
has been obtained from part, would give
rise to the greatest errors, inasmuch rs the
poison is not equally distributed over the
whole frame, some portions Of this absorbing
and retaining much more of i than others.
Different processes also employed by the
same hand afford very different quaniiti es f,
as does the same performed by chemists OF
different degrees OF expertness. The French
law, too, does not require any decision on
this point, as it Furnishes the atte~S;,al n pois-
- ~ hy any --nbs 'ance1hat niay caaso 1crl1--s.,
this applying not to the aropotion employed,
but 10 the substance used.

On the following day the two young peo-

jocings. But the day after, the young lady,
overpowered by her good fortune, was taken

May glory be more true to you than happi-

Omer now accepted the weapon, ard,
kissing the icy hand Of his departed angel,
set out for Widen, where he became Hus-
sen's ad-de camp, as we have already stat

there rose rapidly from rank to rank. till he
reached that Of Mushir, and was appointed
in 1852 to the chief command of tho Ottoman
forces, in consequence of his distinguished
merit and eminent success.

The battle Field.

How fine a contrast has Macauley drawr
n these lines, from the Lays of Ancient
Rome, between the corn fields as they are
nd the battle field as it was.
Now on the place of slaughter
Are cots and sheep-iolds seen,
And rows of vines and fields Of wheat
And apple orchards green
The swine crush the big acorns
That fall from Corne's oaks;
Upon the turf. by the fair fount,
The reaper's pottage smokes.
The fisher bats his angle;
The hunter twangs his bow;
Little they think on those strong limbs
That moulder deep below.
Little they think how sternly
That day the trumpets peal'd,
How, in the slippery swamp of blood.
Warrior and war horse reeled.
How wolves came with fierce gallop,
And crows on eager wings,
To tear the flesh of captains,
And peck the eyes Of kings;
How thick the dead lay scatterd
Under, the Portian beight;
How through the gates OF Tusculum,
Raved the wild stream of fight,
And how the lake Regillus
Bubbled with crimson foam,
What time the Thirty Cities
Came forth to war with Rome.

ATLANTIC STATES! :!

The Nicaragua steamship Uncle Sam ar
rived in San Francisco from San Juan on the
2lst inst, and at an esrly hour on the eve-
ming of the 23d we received through Cram,
Rogers & Co.'s Express full files of papers
from the Atlantic States up to Nov. 81.
The news is of an extremely interesting
character, both from Europe and the Allan
tic States.
Another awful battle was fought before Sc
bastcpol, on the 9th OF NoY. Both parties
claim the victory. The Russian accounts
say that they took French battery and
spiked 10 heavy guns, and that 5 900 of their
own troops and 10000 of the enemy were
left on the field. The French accounts have
it that the Russians had 60, 900 men and the
Allies $4,000, and that the Russians lost
5000 men and the Allies but 5 900 and that
the Allies gained the victory.
The London Times, after speaking of it as
"a victory of unsurpassed splendor," adds:--
Row many more such pictories can 'oe afford
TO lcin ere ,ce sink operwdelmed By the weigAt
Of our own triumph, uanquished by our o,Va
ralor and tcorn ont by our orn success?
Large bodies of troops from the Danube
have made their way into the Crimea, COM
mandcd by Dukes Michel and Nicholas, sons
OF the Gar.
The number of the Allied forces is evident
ly insufficient The effective number Of the
English troops is only about 10000 men.
The LiUe,poA Times in speaking on this
subject, says;
The French Government are making pre-
. parations for the departure Of the troops ON a
~xe scale. And our government are pre-
-r7iIf.;sss -.7if sssspatch both cavalry and infantry
regiments to the scene Of action. But the
entire force we can command at present is
totally inadequate to the emergency before
us. 10000 or 80 900 British, and as many
French troops, at least, are required TO clear
the Crimea Of the Russian force at present in
that co untry.
A strange misgiving is stealing over the
public mind, lest, in spite of the disasters
which befel the enemy at the commences
meni of the campaign, it should turn out that
the allies have caught Tartar The defence Of
Sebastopol is allowed on all hands to be ad-
miFable, and wha, gith the aoproaeh of win

supplies, military authorities Of the FIRST class

THE BEGINNIsG OF AsTRALtA.-Trans-
portation of criminals to tho American colo
nes having ceased from the commencem ent
of the war of Independence, the goals in Eng
land were soon overlooking with criminals
and reeking with disease. The government
therefore determined, upon the favorable rep
reservations of Captain Cook, to form PEE
nal settlement upon that portion of the cas-
tern coast of New Holland that had been
named by him New South Wales. There he
had discovered Botany Bay. so named by
Banks and Soander, the naturalists who had
accompanied Cook, from the abundance and
variety Of it's then unknown productions. a
few miles northward of Botany Bay, he had
named magnificent inlet of the ocean, Port
Jackson, which now forms the harbor Of
Sydney, in beauty and extent, second only to
that of Rio Janero. No time was lost in
carrying the new scheme into operation.
Captain Phillips was selected to take COM
mand Of the expedition and to superntend
the formation Of the penal colony. lie sal
ed from England in the month Of May, 1857,
and in January of the next year landed at
Port jackson with ISL conviots. From this
small beginning have sprung, at various in
tervals, the colonies Of A ustralia and Van
Dieman's Land. II was only in 1888 that
Governor Sir K. Bourke came down from
sydney with Mr.. Lonsdale the surveyor, and
few others. and laid out lhe plan of the
town of Melbourne, on the banks Of the YER
ra Yarra. However, had it not been for this
system of transportation, many more years
must have elapsed before the capabilities Of
this extraordinary county could have be-
come known. There were no visible induce
ments to attract towards It any private enter
prise 1t was not uotil the Government had,
| by the aid Of criminals, caused the cOuu,ry
to be opened up, tho fertility of It's soil to be
made known, and the suitablsness Of many
Of it's districts FOR .as'oral "rrnnees to he
quite undorsto0d, that emigration properly
began. Sixty-threc wears ago nothing but
the existence of Australia was known; now
it is foremost figure in our picture Of the
history that has yet to be acted in the world.

THERE is on exhibition in Paris, at the
present time, in Rue Neuve deS petit -ohamtS,
Ia long name for New L,tleGeld street, No.
5, one Of the most remarkable pieces Of mas
ter work which the union Of art and science
has ever produced. Il consists Of picture
Of about three feet square. This picture is
made up of colors admirable for their beauty
and bodness, but there is no suJ,ct. The
most experienced eye can detect nothing but
disjointed and half.formed approximations to-
wards coherent design. The most able ar
tist secs there only the finest col0rs but no
one can veil what they are intended to repre-
sent. Ia the middle of the picture, which
is horizontally placed, is a mirror, formed by
. copper cylinder, covered by a perfectly poll
ished coating Of silver. This mirror is usu-
ally yelled. So far there is little remarka-
ble, and the greatest amateurs in painting
would hardly consent 10 spend five francs on
such an apparently proitess study. But it
is impossible not to feel glow Of admiration
when, on uncoyering the mirror, there is
presented upon it in the brightest reflected
rays, the whole scene of Crucilixion. The
partial coloring then takes a character Of IN
contestable super ority, and presents to the
astonlshed spectators picture composed Of
six most perfect figures, depicted with de.
gree of boldness such as the master painters
alone knew how 70 impart to the subject
which il was their glory to represent.
