Hot WEATHER.-The weather which had
been growing warmer for some days, on Sat
day reached high midsummer heat. The
thermometer from noon to four o'clock P. NJ.
in sheltered northern exposure, ranged from
81 to 80, standing at the latter figures be-
tween two and three o'clock, and having fallen
only to 88 at four O'clock Such heat, so ear
~, is quite remarkable.
Yesterday morning opened with the promise
of a still hotter day, but slight haze which
arose, and smokiness in the atmosphere, miti-
gated the intensity of the heat and the thermo-
meter. in the same exposure as above, indicat-
ed 81 degrees at two O'Clock, and had fallen
| only to Sc at four o'clock. The sun went
| down with fiery red hue indicating, we ap-
prehend, another hot day, to-day.
The earth is quite dry, and the farmers have
a splendid time for putting in their corn. The
season, however, is unfavorable for the grass
crop, and hay has risen in consequence.
10 We are very happy to learn that Mr..
Thomas Drew, late of the Spy, has entered
into an arrangement with Messrs. Phillips
Sampson 6 Co., for a situation in the
publishing department of their business.
We consider this a very fortunate ar
rangement for both parties. 1t gives per-
manent employment to Mr.. Drew, in field of
labor to which he is admirably adapted, where
his ready business talent, and faculty of endur-
ance, will find full scope, to the great advan-
tage and satisfaction, we have no doubt, Of his
employers.
Police CoURT.-The four pickpockets, ar
rested some days ago, had their examination
in the Police Court Saturday. They answer
ed to the names of VIM. Miller alias Fore
paugh, John Hogan alias Carson, Phillip
Simpson alias Dummy, and VIM. H. Davis.
Mrs. Emily F. Moore of Petersham, whose
pocket was relieved of Mexican medal of
much value, a gold ring and about $18 in
money, identified the medal and the ring,
which one of the thieves had had in his pos
session and attempted to throw away when
pursued. Alden Thayer identified portion
OF the money which was stolen from him
and found on their persons. The prisoners
waived an examination, and were bound over
in the sum of $4,000 each, and committed.
Patrick Doolan pleaded guilty to the charge
of attempting to set fire to his house, in Lees
vile, with intent to burn it up. His motive
for committing the crime is not very clear.
He had pretended to be crazy, but there APP
peared to be so much ''method in his mad
ness" that the Court thought proper to bind
him over in the sum of 5000.

IfAustria seeks to enter Sardinia as the arm
ed apostle Of absolutism and of Ultramontane
prlestcratt; if she has taken up her old-world
mission of binding the bodies and coereing the
minds and consciences of all human beings
born in Italy, then the fact of her having been
the first to commence this war will be no I'M
important item in the great indictment which
Will be pressed against her. But, whatever
may be her ultimate intentions, she has by her
precipitancy done the Emperor of the French
this great good: Whereas, three days ago, all
Europe looked upon him as an imperial robber,
seeking occasion to let loose his prepared ar
mics upon peace-loving ueighbor, the world
Will see in this sudden start and in the hasty
and unready preparations of Napoleon Ill.
some evidence that after all his menaces he
mad not intended to provoke the combat which
Austria has now commenced.
The great question for us to consider, how
ever, is not how Austria stands, or at what
pace France hastens, or even how soon Sardin-
Ia can be over-run, but what is the position
and policy OF England. Lord Derby has said
that "lfwar breaks out whatever be the con-
sequence, our neutrality, as long as it may
last, must, to a certain extent, be an armed
neutrality, enabling us to take our part on that
side, whatever it may be, which the honor, the
interests, and the dignity of the country may
indicate as best deserving our support
These words, coupled with others bearing up
on the occupation Of the shores Of the Adriatic,
tended to scarcely ambiguous intimation that
II the events OF the impending war should lead
French troops into the Lombardo- Venetian
Kingdom, England would appear as a combat
ant in the melee. We ventured to comment
upon those words in tSne of remonstrance
Now that war appears more probable, and its
preceding circumstances almost certain, we
think it right to reiterate our protest against
engaging England, either by alliance, or men,
ace, or guarantee, so as to draw her into this
purely continental quarrel. Surely we are not
going to commit over again the faults commit
ted by our fathers, and to burden ourselves
with debts and obligations too great for our
selves and our sons to bear in the pursuit of
some chimerical notions as to what we should
like to see occur among our neighbors. We
say, at all risks, and at all events, keep Eng
land out of this struggle between two dynastic
powers.

After months spent in bringing the impartial
opinion and disinterested craftsmanship of Eu.
rope to the solution of Italian difficulties-at a
moment when England, Russia, Prussia, and
France, had agreed on the means of preserv-
ing peace and doing justice-when King Vic
tor Emanuel had given signal proof of his
readiness to make sacrifices for the preserva.
ton of the general peace, Austria, without no.
tlce, withdraws her quarrel with Sardinia from
the domain of diplomacy, and insists OH set
ting it simply with the sword. This is a mon
strous insult to all the neutral powers, but
most Of all to England For the mean and
grovelling cOmpliances of Lord almesbury-
for the tiattery of Lord Derby-for the sacri-
fees made by the entire Cabinet in preferring
Austrian favor to the approval of their own
just and generous countrymen, this is the fair
return the righteous retribution.
From the London Post, April o.
France has yielded to every pressure. As
first rate Power she could afford to do So
Sardinia, too, who could ill afford it has also
given way on every point to the wishes of
England, at the risk of her Monarch's crown
and the stability of her institutions, At last
the British Government, having treated its
natural allies harshIy and even disgracetully,
has put forward its ultimate propositions, only
to have them contemptuously thrown back by
the very Power in whose service it has per-
formed so much dirty work, and for whose
sake it has assumed SO great responsibility,
and so dangerous position.
But what should have been done and what
has been done is mere matter of history. What
is to be done is now the question. We ans
wer, and we are confident that the whole Eng
lish nation will answer-since Austria has de-
cared war, let her fight it out with Italy and
France. Be it ours to observe the StrIctest neutral
'ty, and to use our utmost endeaUorS to pre0a3 on
the anboie Of Europe to pursue the same line. We
may at least now prevent the war from spread
