FLORENCE, June 8, 1855.
Electro Magnetism is announced to
be remedy for cholera, by two emf
nent physicians, in different parts OF
Italy. The coincidence is noteworthy.
DIR. Rossi, of this city, was preparing a
memoir, the fruit of much study and ex-
perience, to show that the malady re-
suits from some electromagnetic or an
imal electric disturbance, for which gal
vanism is the proper remedy, when he
was informed that DIR. Concata, of Pa
dua, had conceived and demonstrated
the theory within few days in the re-
storation of four desperate cholera pa
tients, by means Of the electromagnetic
current, and that he was preparing a
report, under the direction of the mu-
nicipal authorities, for publication. 1t
will soon be determined whether his is
one of "the immortal names"--whether
he is to have the grateful remembrance,
the enviable satisfaction of having re-
stricted the sphere of ignorance and su-
perstition. The simultaneousness of
the conception is only another indica-
ton of the wide diffusion of mental cul-
tivation.
A second successful trial of Bonelli's
locomotive Electric Telegraph has been
made on the Turin railway, with the
concurrence of the Ministers of State
and the diplomatic representatives of
France and England. Two trains trav-
ersing a fve-mile track exchanged COM
munications until all parties were fully
satisfied. The correspondence with the
stations was equally satisfactory: and
orders to '.stop," and to proceed"
were obeyed as by volition. Morse's
apparatus, reduced to the dimensions of
coat pocket, including paper, &C., was
used on this occasion. The simplicity
of the invention is amusing. Two wires
running from the little pocket machine
through the bottom of the car, trail on
parallel insulated iron rods, which are
the mediums. Strange that the notion
never occurred to the yankee nation!
The inventor, who is the director of
the Sandman telegraphs, has submitted
TO the government an inexpensive pro-
ject for working them, and also for con-
tinuing the submarine line now in use
between Genoa and the islands of Cor
sica and Sardinia (20O miles, by way
of Malta and other intermediate points,
to Constantinople, and the long Black
sea line; and which also be propounded
to the electricians of the thousand-leagu-
ed Atlantic.
In work on the "Hopes OF Italy,"
written in 1874, by Count Caesar Balbo,
one of the eminent statesmen of Sardin-
ia. whose recent death spread a gloom
all over the peninsula, he predicts that
the long repose of the East must soon
be broken; that the increasing weak
ness of Turkey will encourage Russia to
advance in her steps to conquest; that
England, whose diplomacy seems to
lack astuteness, and whose policy alert
ness in quiet times, viii rise in resis-.
tance at the right time, and that France
will not remain neutral; that, in fine,
there is no power in Europe whose in
terest it will not be TO aid them to drive
Russia from the mouths of the Danube
and the Bosphorus; and that the only
hope of the delivery of Italy lies in
Austria being recompensed by extern
sion on the banks Of the Danube. He
