The News.

By the arrival of the Anglo Saxon at Quebec
Yesterday we have some additional details of news
from Europe to the 9TH inst. The telegraph des-
patches from the seat of in Italy relative to the
battle of Magenta are highly important. The battle
commenced on the 4th inst, and lasted two days.
The fight took place at Magenta, some twelve miles
from Milan, and it is stated that three hundred
thousand men were engaged in the conflict. The
French Emperor partially commended, and the
King fSardinia was near the scene of action. Ma
poleon claims decisive victory, and says they
took 1000 Austrians prisoners, while $4,000 more
were placed horS de combat. He also states the
French loss to be 3OOo while other reports repre-
sent it at between 5000 and u, 000 men. The
French General Espinasse was killed, and Marshal
Canrobert MORALLY wounded. Five French Mar
shaIs and Generals and nine Austrian superior off,
GERS were wounded. Milan was evacuated by the
Austrians, and its inhabitants had declared in favor
of the King of Sardinia, but the French had not
occupied the CITY, On the reception of the news
of the victory in Paris the city was illuminated.
The Queen delivered her opening speech to the
British Parliament on the 9TH. A synopsis of it is
given in our Geographic summary Of the news.
She proclaims strict and impartial neutrality in the
pending war.
The intelligence rom the seat OF war nae mad a
favorable effect public securities. Cunsols In
London advanced half cent, and in Paris the
funds are active at higher prices.
At Liverpool the cotton market was weak and
a decline of one-eighth of a penny is reported.
Breadstuffs and provisions were dull.
The India mail of May 10th had reached Eng
land, with reports of great monetary panic.
The next advices from Europe are looked for
with most intense anxiety all over the country.
They will come in the shape of newspaper reports,
containing the details of the battle of Magenta and
three days later news than that brought by the
AngloSaxon.
The following steamers are now at sea- bound
for this port, having left in the order and on the

THE BATTLE OF MAGENTA-THE Effect OF
TIE News IN New YORK Our reporters have
been through the city yesterday, i'd noted the
effects which the intelligence of the battle of
Magenta produced among the various nationali-
ties. What they have seen and heard a I'd noted
is recorded elsewhere, and is quite noteworthy.
One effect of the ne 's, which we should not
overlook, is the immense demand created by 1t

SAN Francisco SETTING A Coon EXAMPLE TO
LoNDoN.-By our latest dates from California we
perceive that the editor and proprietor Of one Of
the San Francisco journals has been mulcted in
the sum of one hundred dollars, as penalty for
making an obscene publication, said publication
being the confession" of Mrs Sickes, which,
though not admitted as evidence in the trial of
Mr.. Sickles, formed part of the case for the de-
fence, and as such was printed by the newspa-
pers generally throughout this country, and re-
produced in many foreign papers Among these
was the London Morning Post in which no por-
ton Of the trial except the confession" which
was printed entire, appeared. Now the Post is
the organ Of Lord Palmerston, the chosen medi-
UNI for the announcement Of the movements of
the British aristocracy- the anxiously looked for
exhilarant of the beauty who has just come out;
the solace Of the dowager who has just gone in;
the daily chronicler Of Court movements; the
exponent Of Belgravia; the authority Of May
Fair. Nothing low or vulgar-not to say OBJ
scene-is permitted to soil this aristocratic sheet
which is printed and circulated in the heart of
the most refined and elegant class in the world.
1t bias remained, however, for San Francisco, the

GENERALS What has become Of all the bril-.
liant French Generals, such as Changarnier and
Lamoniciere, who made such reputation in
Algeria? Why don't those who are at large
return to their country and offer their services
in fighting its battles! viii they not show as
much patriotism as Henry the Fifth, who, when
the war broke out, declared he would no longer
remain in Austria while she was at war with his
" beloved" country? If there are any Of them
still In exile-and we believe there are manv
who refused to accept leave to return on the

TRADE OF CHINA AND JAPAN.--In another
column will be found report Of the spec h de-
lvered by Lord Eigin at the London Mansion
House on the results of his late mission to China
few weeks since Mr. Reed, our own Commits
s'oner, made similar speech in Philadelphia, in
which he demonstrated the immense adj y antages
that would accrue to the CONNER ce of the world
from the Opening of the trade OF that empire and
of japan. He also showed that the reports that
had been circulated about his having, in collision
with Count Poutiatine, the Russian Minister, co.
deayored to Illustrate the objects of Lord Elgia's
mission, had not shadow Of foundation. 1t will
be recoII,ctcd that the London Times gave circu-
lation TO these statements, and rendered them ~
offensive aus possible by its comments Before he
left China Lord Elgin took the opportunity Of
refutiDg these iwputations on Mr.. Reed, and Of
praising his exertions in the general interests.
In his recent statement his lordship confirms all
that fell from Mr.. Reed in regard to the impor-
tant benefits that were likely to result to the
world from the opening of the trade of that i'm
mense empire aud of Japan. His speech, al
though smart and telling one, somewhat post
praDdial in its character, adds but little to the
Information conveyed in the interesting report Of
cur own Minister.

The passage of the Allies was strongly con-
tested both at Buffalora and Turbigo-the fight
at the latter place being doubtful for an entire
day--the Austrians retiring as far as Magenta,
where it would appear the fight came to a crisis.
The moral effect Of even temporary defeat at
the opening Of campaign is depressing to any
army, but we are not disposed to give i much
importance in this instance. Assuming that the

THE OLD YEAR AND THE NEW.
| heard sick mans dying sigh,
And an infants idle laughter,
The old year went with mourning by,
The new came dancing after;
Let Sorrow shed her lonely tear,
Let Revelry toss her "ladle."
Bring bows of cypress for the bier,
Fling roses on the cradle:
Mutes 10 wait on the funeral state!
Pages to pour the wine!
And requiem for ffty-eight.
And n health to hfty-niue!
Alas. for human happiness,
Alas! for human sorrow;
Our yesterday is nothingness,
What else will be our morrow?
Still beauty must be stealing hearts,
And knavery stealing purses.
Cuisinicrs live by making tarts,
And wits by making verses;
While sages pratc and courts debate,
The same stars set and shine;
And the world as it rolled through fty-eight,
Must roll through fifty mine!
Some king will come in heavens good time.
To the tomb his father came TO;
Some rogue will wade through blood and crime,
To 4 crown he has no claim to;
Some suffering land will rend in twain
The manacles that bound her,
And gather the links Of the broken chain
To strew them proudly round her:
The grand and great will love and hate,
And combat and combine;
And much as We were i'll fifty y-eight,
We shall be in fifty mine!
