A new burglars instrument of the most ex- traordinary description has been detected by the police of London. It will cut, through solid iron half an inch thick, hole six inches in diameter It will accomplish this feat with ease in an hour, and without making the slight est noise or sound, or without uuftting the tool for an immediate repetition of the cxperi- ment.

But the real truth is what he now says in the presence of justice is now that he speaks ! his last word gives his last explanations, makes his justification and defense. And he does this by means of written document ad- dressed to the Emperor from his prison, and which may be regarded as testament or prayer. l have obtained the Emperors per mission to readit, and I beg of you to listen to it, aud say if his words are those of boast ing or of weakness The learned gentleman then read the following document
 "To Napoleon H., Emperor of the French
 "The dispositions which have made against myself, in the course of the political proceed ings which have been instituted on the occa- sion af the attempt of the 14th of January, are sufficient to send me to the scaffold, and l shall submit to my fate without asking for par don both because I will not humiliate myself before him who has destroyed the reviving b- erty of my unhappy country, and because in the situation in which 1 am now placed, death for me Will be relief.
 Being near the close of my career, I wish, however, to make last effort to assist Italy, whose Independence has hitherto made me pass through so many perils, and submit to so many sacrifices. She was the constant ob- jeet of all my affections, and it is that idea which wish to set forth ill the words which I address to your Majesty.
 (. In order to maintain the balance of pow CT in Europe, it is necessary to render Italy in- dependent, or to loosen the chains by which Austria holds her in bondage Shall I ask that for deliverance the blood of Frenchmen shall be shed for the Italians No, I do not go so far as that Italy demands that France shall not interfere against her, and that France shall not allow Germany to support Austria in the struggles in which she may perhaps be soon engaged. This is precisely what your Majesty may do if you are so inclined. On your will therefore, depends the welfare or the misfortune of my country, the life or death of nation to which Europe is iu Q great meas ure indebted for her civilization.
 "Such is the prayer which from my cell I dare to address to your Majesty, not despair ing but that my feeble voice may be heard. = I beseech your Majesty to restore to Italy the independence which her children lost in ls49 through the very fault of the French. Let your Majesty call to mind that the Italians among whom was my father, joyfully shed their blood for Napoleon the Great, wherever he pleaseed to lead them that they were fathtu! to him until his fall; and that so long as Italy shall not be independent the tranquility of Europe and that our Majesty will only be vain illusions
 "May your Majesty not reject the last pray CT of patriot on the steps of the scaffold L. May yeu deliver my country, and the blessings of twenty-five millions of citizens will follow | yoa to posterity. FELICE ORSINI. l

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.
The Un,ou congratulates the Democracy on
the cheering boom Of the first gun from the
August elections. In another article it re-
peats that, in respect to prominent and alb
sorbing questions, the majority of the Demo-
cratic party have never been in the wrong.
The Union also comments upon the fears of
silly people North and South, and then waits
on Hon. -. B. Hsskins at home" and de-
tracts somewhat from Mr. Haskin's opinion of
his own abilities. 1t, further, compliments the
nominations made by the Ohio Democracy, at
their Columbus convention
The IRteIkigencsr is not without the suspi-
cion that some slight apprehension may have
arisen in the American mind with respect to
the exact status of the question between the
United States and Great Britain in relation to
the right Of visit for the purpose of identify
ing the nationality of vessels on the high seas.
While the British Government may have de-
termined for the present to abandon the prac-
siee Of visit for the purpose designated, we do
not understand, says the Lntekkigencsr, that it
has finally and forever abandoned the theoret-
ical ground on which it predicates the moral
necessity of the risAt in question when exer-
cised in behalf of what is called the police of
the seas

THE PROPOSED SOUTHERN LgEauE-Mr
VIM. L. Yancey, in q late speech upon his pro-
posed Southern League, delivered in Mont
gomery, Alabama, indignantly denies that it
aims at the eventual consummstion of dissolu-
ton of the United States claiming for it at the
same time the purpose of the mere conservation
of the constitutional right Of the South in the
Union. Were this 50, Mr.. Yancey would soon
number among his brother leaguers three
fourths Of all the voters of the slaveholding
States; whereas, it is utterly impossible that
the league will ever come to number one in q
hundred Of them, Notwithstanding the yehe-
mence of Mr.. IS protestations that it is but q
sort of political edible society," union Of
men Of all political churches to secure the cleo
ton of southern rights men without nominating
candidates as party. We fancy, if the truth
must be told, that the southern public will be
quite as 10th to put faith in political Bible
Society, whose counsels are guided by such
politicians as Mr.. Yancey and the New Orleans
Delta, as the northern public to put faith in
the religious Bible Society in the hands of Gar
rison, Fred Douglas, Abby Kelley, and the
rest of the peculiar folks who denounce the
principles of Cbristia nifty and the Bible as
curses to the land only equalled in their in
furious effects by the terrible evils growing out
of the Union.
