FOREIGN SUMMARY.

LOUIS NAPOLEON AND THE lTALIANs.-The
Paris Constitutional contains an article on the
position of the Emperor Napoleon towards the
people of Italy, Austria, the revolutionists, and
Europe in general, on his conclusion of peace
at Villafranca. In it the Italians are plainly
told that they are now free from Austrian
rule" if they have sense enough to understand
so and if not, so much the worse for them
selves, for if Napoleon withdraws his protecting
hand, nothing can save them from Austrian
domination, from Turin to Messina."
Mr.. Hume, the famous spirit-rapping medi-
UNI, says the London Medical Times, has lately
put his foot into it at Paris. At one of his
sea,aces, one of his guests, particularly active
individual, made a sudden grab at the spirit
which was tickling his leg, and, behold, he
found Mr.. Hume's foot in his hand. On another
occasion, a child's glove was found lying on
the moor when the furniture was being put 10
rights after the seance.
The twenty-fifth anniversary of the abolition
of Slavery in the British Colonies was cele-
brated in London, by public meeting at the
Music Hall, Store street, Bedford Square, over
which Lord Brougham presided and made a
speech, in which he reiterated all his former
opinions in favor of abolition.
The overland Friend Of China, in an article
referring to the great rebellion in China, re-
marks, that there was no very clear evidence
that it would succeed, or no great certainty that
the Government would be able to subdue it. A
letter, from one of the provinces in partial pos;
session of the rebels states that the insurgents
were publishing the Bible, or certain parts of
it, demolishing idols or certain Budhistic i'm
ages, opening schools, &c. 1t is said, however,
that the insurgents have imbibed gross errors.

A TIaELY SUGGEsTIoN.--A Southern Jour-
nalist, who was once employed in the arduous
duties of taking the census, to avoid many OF
the inconvenience attending upon that duty,
makes the following timely suggestions for
1860:
"Now, what we suggest is, that each farmer
this fall, as he gathers his crops, shall keep
something like an accurate account of the
quantity and value of the same; and, if he will
take the trouble to make out a statement of
the names snd ages of his family, the number
of acres of land cleared and timbered, the num-
Der and ages of his servants, the number and
value of his horses and mules, the number of
bales of cotton, barrels of corn, bushels of
wheat, oats, rye, barley, potatoes, &C., and the
value of each, and leave it in some place where
any member of the family who may be at home
when the deputy marshal shall call can readily
get hold of it, it will save time to all concerned,
and very greatly assist to make the census re-
turns perfect complete, and satisfactory"
