Foreign Summary.

Revolutionary outbreaks are continually taking place
in Italy just now. Mazzini, the renowned patriot, is
still prompting these movements, in connection with the
affiliated societies which he has organized throughout that
country. He had a narrow escape lately on the defeat
ofa party of his ~insurgent friends, and barely succeeded
in getting on an American vessel, where, of course, he
found sympathy and protection. These conspiracies are
said to include in their operations the revolutionizing
the whole of Europe once more. The result of the late
French elections, although generally in favor of the
existing government, is claimed, by the triumph Of sew
eral Of the Republican leaders, as a certain premonition
of the intention of the French people to change their
government.
Beranger, the peoples poet and distinguished Repub-
lican, died in Paris last month. He never was recon
ciled to the present government, although every induce
ment had been held out to him to make friends with
Napoleon.

The Mystery os the Everglades

The long peninsula which runs out into the
Atlantic, forming the southern part of Florida,
has always been occupied by single succession
OF savannahs, hammouhs, lagoons, swamps, and
forests nearly impregnable andiquite unhabitable
except as the Turk ng place OF Senn oles. They
extend into the heart OF the country, two hun
dred miles north Of Cape Sable, and collectively
are called 'he Everglades, g. f., ...... .-.sr,r .
During the past winter natural outlet has
opened somewhere which has drained the Ever
gladcs dry. For nearly two months, though no
water flowed out ofanyof the known outlets,
the water in the glades continued to fall rapid

Is The LUMBER TAaDE FOR lS57.--From what
we can learn the amount OF lumber which will
be sent to the lower markets from the Upper
Mississippi pineries this year will be much less
than last year. 1t is bought that the supply
from above the Falls of St. Anthony will not be
more than sufficient to supply the demand above
the st Croix. In the st. Croix the amount put
in during the past winter is estimated to be one.
halt less than the amount put in one year ago.
When we come to the Chippewa, we find the de-
crease in that amount win be very large owing
to the destruction of The immense mills of Wiz
SON Il Co., on the Menomonee, which would have
sent to market this year fifteen or twenty, mil
lions. II. S. Allen & Co, at Chippewa Falls,

logs in this river but ouly expect TO get, out
this year some millions. On Black River. and
on the Wisconsin River, We are. infornsd that
the operations during the last winter have been
