censorship of the press ON the French model
As in the whole Empire there are only three
or four published and only one Of these in
Turkish-and ashley arc all small scraps of
paper filed with laudations, a IL FrdHeaSse, of
the powers that be, this measure is not likely
to press heavily upon the public. The jour
nal do Gonstantinople, the chief of the lot, is
published in French, and owes its existence
mainly to subscription from the State, which
it repays by lavish glorification of the Sultan,
general excellence Of the Turkish Constitution
in Church and State.
1t is generally believed in France, the Govern
inent is about rcyiying the law of pFimogeni-
ture so far as the nobility of the first EN-
pire is concerned. The gift to Marshal Pelissier
is made an estate tail. Theold imperial families
who have been dispossessed of their fee tails
arc preparing their titles, A good many people
in France IRE in favor of the re-establishment
of the law of primogeniture, applicable to all
classes as means of attracting capital 10 the
country and from the cities of France
FROM Europe we have intelligence Of com.
plete diplomatic rupture between Austria and
Piedmont. The event affords great satisfaction
to RUSSIA, whose hatred Of Austria is unbopn-
ded. 1t is not believed, however, that the diff
ference between Austria aud Piedmont will ex-
tend beyond a temporary interruption of diplo-
matte intercourse. Spain, lis nows said, intends
to land force and occupy aposition on Mexican
territory. The first division of the invading fleet
would sail for Havana on the 18th of February
a coEREsroSDENT of the New Jersey Farmer
says he had occasion to overhaul some apples
the other day. They were picked in the same
orchard and on the same day, and were put away
the same day; some in flour barrels and some
| in lime barrels. Those in the -four barrels were
much decaycd, while those in the lime barrels
were sound, and but very few showing any signs
of decay. The apples were of the same variety
a CORRESPONDENT Of the Rural Neto Yorker,
claims to have tested the application of manure

TnE Hon. w. w. Drummond in his letter of
March 80, addressed to the Attorney General of
the United States, and resigning his office of
Justice of Utah Territory, exposes in brief but
forcible language tho defiant attitude in which

His letter seems to have awakened the Admins
tration to taking some action in the matter.
We find in the Washington Union an army or
der, Withdrawing General Harvey from Florida,
and commanding him to repair without delay to
Fort Leavenworth to assume the command of
that post. Special instructions be addressed
to him at that place from the War Department.
| We hope those instructions will be of the most
decided character, and that Brigham Young, in
his stronghold of infamy, will be taught to know
that there is law above him, and that the whole
Mormon hOt-bed Of.pollntion in Utah will be
broken up to give place to: decency and NOR

in its favor.
