From the Electc Magazine.
King Victor Emmanuel.

Victor Emmanuel H., King of Sar.
dinia, which country bears almost the same
relation to the present European war that
Turkey did to the Crimean, is one of the
prominent actors in the great drama now
being enacted on the eastern hemisphere.
The house of Savoy of which he is the
head, descends from the old Counts of
Sardinia. Although it is one of the most
ancient and most illustrious in Europe,
there are few reigning families in existence
on the origin of which so many contradic-
tory versions have been given. All authors
agree in carrying back its genealogy to
the ninth OF tenth century, but while some
of them. with much appearance of prob
ability, derive it from the ancient Kings
of Aries, the Princes of the house of
Savoy themselves appear to accredit
statement, according to which the famous
