IMPORTANT RUMoR.-The Paris Correspon-
dent of the Washington Union gives the follow
ing important rumor in his last letter:
Ruinors, in times like these, ought to be re-
ceiyed with the greatest caution; but there is
one which has reached me through an Italian
source, every way worthy of credit, to which
am inclined to attach some importance it is
that war has already broken out in Hungary be-
tween the Maeyars and Croatans, and that the
outbreak will soon assume . European dimen-
SION 1t his be the work of Russia, it is well
timed, as she will then get rid of the surveil-
lance. OF the Austrian troops, who will have
enough to do in Hungary. Startling events may
soon occur therefore, in the East, within very
short period; and, at all events. Russia seems
to be quite confident and capable of holding
her own" Nft

A BROADWAY HTRo-A private letter from
Smyrna ssys:- The war goes on at distance,
but we are undisturbed. There is, at Galipoli,
young man from New York in the Turkish ar
my, who excitesa good deal of attention. He
tights entirely on his own hook, is always 10 be
seen IN the thickest Of the melee, and is as brave
as a lion. But, advancing or retresting, he al
ways has peculiar tramp-tramp-ira
from which he never varies, whatever may be
the style Of march around him; and he has of
ten been seen in the very hottest of the fight, to
stop deliberately, tighten his cravat take off his
hat and arrange his hair, which is very beauti-
full and then go to work again against the Rus
slams. One Of my friends who has just come
from Gallpoi was telling me about it yesterday.
He say the Turks are very enthusiastic about
him. His ineffable cooness, in their eyes, is a
species of courage which they consider to pro-
ceed from the consciousness of charmed hfe,
which death cannot touch.

ScorrlsH JusTlcE.-A poor man, half cen
tury ago or more, was attempting to violate The
game laws by shooting deer, the penalty for
the offence being a fine of five pounds. or. in
default of funds, thirty lashes. He gave half
the deer to neighbor, who bad the meanness
to complain of him, in order that half must go
to the lnformer and half to the king. The OF
fender was convicted and fined accordingly, but
pleaded that he had no money. 'Weel, mon, =
said the magistrate, g we maln ba'e the lashes

magistrate then said to the Sheriff, ..Tak that

him fifteen lashes, which will be his half; and
when King George comes over we will gle him
his half. Half to the informer and hall till The

THE Jews OF PALEsrINE-rHKEATEsED FAM
lHE.-Reeent accounts from the Holy Land rep
resent the condition Of the Jews in hat country
rs most lamentable; and there is abundant evil
fence tnat these people are suffering great dis
II from dest utiol. Their snfferings have
been occasioned partly by the flilure Of the las,
harvest. which has raised the price of food to an
enormous height, and partly by the present war
and political Disturbances. and the dimunition
OF the resources for the support Of the poor de-
rived from other countries. Sir Moses Monte
fiore, an eminent Hebrew of London lately re-
turned from visit to the Holy Land has pub
lished an appeal in behalf of the sufferers. in
