Depending on myrights,
ON the enthusiasm OF nv
subjects, on the courage
Of my army, and on the
natural allies of Austria,
Iwaged war in order to
maintain inviolate the cx-
iSting treaties.
My subjects | found will
ing to make any and every
sacrifice. Sanguinary
conflicts have proved to
the world the fearlessness
and heroism ofmv gallant
army, which, although,
it is inferior in number
to the enemy, and has
lost thousands of officers
and private soldiers, is
full of strength and cour-
age, and joyfully looks
forward to the renewal
Of the struggle. Being
without allies, | yield to
the uniavorable political
relations, it being my
first duty to avoid she'd

The bases of peace have

principal object of the
war has been obtained ;
Italy is about to become
for the first time a ma

Father, will unite them
together as the members

it is true, rem aims under
the sceptre Of Austria.
1t will, nevertheless, be
an Italian province, con-
stituting a part of the
Confederation.

NATIONAL HORSE SHow.-0n the 9th, 7th Sth
and 9Th OF September, there is to be grand horse
show and ladies equestrian display at Dayton,
Ohio. Accommodations on the grounds for thirty
thousand spectators will be erected, and very
large list of premiums is offered. AS a specimen
OF the hberality of the premiums, we may mention
that for the fastest trotting gelding FLY to har
ness, the first premium is of the value of S200-one
hundred of it in cash, and piece of plate worth
another SlOO. For the fastest stallion to harness
the second premium is to the value of Sl75 There
are only forty premiums offered for horses. Six,
of the aggregate value of S5l5, to the lady eques-
trians: and silver cornet for the brass or silver
band of music. Colonel Harris, of the Ohio Ctltvd-
ter, is the marshal of the ladies equestrian pro-
ceedings. The entire management of the affair is
under the control of j. Walter Smith, ESQ.,, who
has superintended several exhibitions of similar
character in the East, and has in all case given
great satisfaction. We believe that the show at
Dayton will be well worth attending.

GOLD FROM THE GEAvE.-By the Northern Light
we have further intelligence from the Chiriqui gold
dggngs.
Further accounts received from Chiriqui, and
fresh arrivals confirm the fact of the existence of
manufactured gold in large quantities in the Indian
graves. have seen at least 100 pounds weight of
these golden ornaments, some of which are very
curious. All letters received from Chiriqui agree
in stating that the yield is large and that the mum
Der of graves is enormous. There are now about
1000 OF the natives of the province at work Some
men have obtained much as IS pounds weight
One man dug 500 out of one grave. Another found
golden hat or crown, weighing, it is said, %
pounds; but the images average only from an ounce
to pound and half, though | saw one of three
pounds weight, very well wrought human figure
The schooner Josefa sailed from here on the 10Th,
fully laden with provisions, with about As passen-
gers, chiefly young men of good family. Two other
schooners sail in few days, and if the accounts are
confirmed by the JOsefa party city will be de-
serted. Every in the interior is off to the
diggings, leaving the women alone in the villages
Agriculture is entirely neglected, and, as this is
seed-time, the diggers will have to pay n high price
next season for their rice and corn. company of
American gentlemen, chartered by the State of
Maryland under the title of the Chiriqui Real Es-
tate Company, hold a large grant of land in the
district within which these graves are situated
Perhaps it would be worth their while to look
after it.

UNITED STATES STEAMSHIP MERRIMAC
frr - I T-r

July IT, 1853. J
The Merrimac, after being in the hands of the
caulkers for nearly month, is once more moored
off this island desert of San Lorenzo for the pur-
pose of practising her guns great and small at tar
getfring, boat expeditions, landing the men, &c.
For three days past the steep sandy slopes of the
island have reverberated the noise of the heavy
guns of the ship, and been furrowed by the tracks
of the lineinch shells. The cruise The Merrimac
is so nearly finished, or supposed to be, that this
would seem to be useless disposition of powder
and shot, in view Of the fact that the men are to be
discharged but the officers are said to be benefited
by the practice, and whether they are not, the
expenditure of so much ammunition per year is al
lowed and convenience, more than anything else,
seems to regulate the time of using it. No pl ace in
the Pacific certainly could be appropriate for
the exercise of guns than the shore of San Lorenzo
as the island is lonely waste, from which the shot
can almost entirely be recovered.-M Y. Eng. Post.

OBITUARY.-Herman Thorne, one ofthe weaIthiest
and most widey-known of the inhabitants ofthis
CITY, died at his residence yesterday in the seven
ty-eight year ofhis age. BY a fortunate marriage,
early in life, Colonel ThOrne became the possessor
of large property, and withdrew from active
pursuits. He resided many years in Paris, where
the mnnifence of his style living gave him great
ectot, and to a certain extent rendered him leader
of the fashionable world. The last years of his
life he passed in a splendid residence, which he
built for himself in Sixteenth street.

The Tallahassee FIoridian, of the 23d inst, con-
tains the following (now familiar) announcement:
"a Cargo OF AFRICANs.-A gentleman ofthis city
received a letter from jacksonville on Monday last
post marked 10th instant, on the back of which was
endorsed "a cargo of 600 Africans has been landed
on the Florida coast near Smyrna"
This is something like the twelfth cargo of Afri-
cans reported to have been landed upon the Florida
adjacent coast since the "W anderer experiment;
although, strange to say not word has ever been
heard of of these vessels her cargo or crew. be
yond the bare announcement of her landing. Nor
does it appear that the number of wrecks or sunk
en- vessels found off the Florida coast increase the
hazards Of navigation of late.
Lest any person should be frightened into the be-
lief that the rum0rs referred to have foundation in
actual facts, will state that they are circulated
entirely for effect by certain advocates of the slave
trade who hope by an eventual change in puplic
sentiment to compass their objects. They desire to
impress the people of the South with the belief that
such change has already taken place among them,
and that the South is almost prepared to renew the
slave trade. Some capital may also be made by
exciting the North with these stories, in order to
create ferment. The truth of the matter is, the
slave trade speculation has proved failure, and
some OF those who have interested themselves in at
tempting to promote it have suffered runous losses
There is absolutely market for imported Afri-
cans, and besides, it has been proved, that about
ten per cent of those landed here and set to work
on plantations have died.-Jour. of Commerce.
