Latest Foreign Intelligence.

The Emperor Louis Napoleon has received
Congratulations from all quarters on his escape
from assassination. The man who attempted
to kill him admits that he had followed him to
London for the purpose Of finding an opportu-
nifty of shooting him, and that on finding he
had failed there, he returned to Paris, deter
mined to effect his object. The assassin fired
twice at his intended victim, but missed his
aim on both occasions. When he was arrest
ed, the Emperor continued on his way, appa-
rently unconcerned. soiHr' .l e4;

The Allies were expecting an immediate and
formidable attack from the Russians, and were
making dispositions in preparation for it.
The guns of the Allies are reported to have

It was believed that they would be CON-

The White Sea was soon to be declared in

The diplomatic mission of the Allies to Per-

country IN their side against Russia, had
proved quite a failure.
The Spanish Government is reported to have

PRospEcM oFTHE NORTHERN AND
Z sWEaTERN GRAIN CROPS.

Il WEa1ERN GRAIN CROPS.
h Our readers of the: South, who have been
Tor malysmonths eating corn and wheat bread
Ut so heavy aacost, should feel deeply interested
in the anticipated abundant yield Of the wheat
crop Of the wheatgrowing States.
We have recently paid much attention to
every item connected with this subject, and
with pleasure report great u%nanimity in the
expression of o fattering prospect for an abun-
dant yield. Throughout NewYork, Pennsyl-
'vania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana Illinois, Wis
%consin, Kentucky, Tennessee, a part Of vir-
ginia ard Maryland, the prospect in no former
year has been so good. The corn is not
sufficiently forward to say what it will turn
out, but now looks promising in the corn-ex-
porting States, and an unusually large crop, as
well as Of wheat, oats, rye, barley, buckwheat
and potatoes, has been pitched.
With the gloomy prospects in the South for
grain, and indeed crops of every kind, it is
some consolation to know that the granaries Of
the West are likely to be so crowded that we
shall be able to get an abundant supply at low
rates. Already -four and corn are declining,
Influenced to some extent, doubtless, by the
prospects of on abundant harvest.

The ANTI-SLAvERY CONVENTION. The
second days proceedings Of the Anti-slavery
Convention i'll NewYor were Of the richest de-
scrlption, and to u looker-on who could repress
the contempt and disgust which they would
naturally excite, the performance were more
amusing then any thing ever seen upon the
stage. The attendance was small, but lack of
numbers was fully made up for, by vindictive-
ness and fierce fanuticism. They quarreled
among themselves like cats and dogs-abused
each other like pick-pockets, and pitched right
and LETT into almost every thing and every body
else. Several religious societies came under

were soupdly abused for sitting in the room

Burns and on a pleasure trip to the United

who, although engaged in cabinet counsel, re-

their side, and pistols, nagniicently wrought
in silver. in their belts. They also wore neat
Scotch dress caps, surmounted each with an
eagles feather. Altogether they presented in
their general appearance q complete example
Of the old Scotch chieftains, and looked as. we
fancy Sir William Wallace and his bold and
gallant compatriots must have looked in days
Of yore. They were highly delighted with their
visit to and reception by Mr.. Pierce, and speak
in glowing terms Of him. They are abont to
return to old Scotland.

WHO IS Miss NIGHTINGALE ?--This question

WHo1 is Miss N1GHr1seALE?-Ihis question
is thus answered by an English paper:
Miss Florence Nightingale is the youngest
daughter and presumptive co-heilcss of VIM
Shore Nightingale, of Emblcy Park. Hamp-
shire, and the Lea Hurst, Derbyshirc, England.
She is, moreover, a young lady Of singular en-
dowments, both natural and acquired. In a
knowledge of the ancient languages, and of the
higher branches of mathematics, in general art,
science, and literature, her attachments are ex-
traordinary. There is scarcely a modern Ian
guage which she does not understand, and she
speaks French, German, Italian as fluently as
her native English. She has visited and studied
the various nations of Europe, and has ascen-
ded the Nile to its remotest cataract. Young.
about the age ofthe QueenJ graceful, feminine,
rich, and popular, she holds a singularly gentle
and persuasive influence over ali with whom
she comes i'll contact. Her friends and &C.
qua!ntanccs are Of all classes and persuasions
but her happiest place is at home in the center
of a very large band of accomplished relatives
and in simple obedience to her admiring par.
ents.

None for sale. In some ~neighborhoods a bushel

A. R1oT AMONG THE STupENTs.-The Leba-
non IN. H. Wing has an account of u riot at
Hanover between the students of Dartmouth
College and the cadets Of the Norwich Military
School. 1t seems that some difficulty had oc-
cured wherein. the cadets felt themselves iusul-
ted, and crossed the river in skiffs to seek re-
dress. The college students met them promptly,
and quite a battle ensucd, in which the cadets
were vanquished by the superior numbers of the
students. Finding themselves beaten, the cadets
drew their knives and pistols, and were about
to wage deliberate war, When the officers of the
college interfered. Meanwhile the college boys
set the boats adrift, and thus cut off all retreat
to the cadets, who we're obliged to travel q
long distance to regain the western shore Of the
river. The matter is to be investigated.
