PROFESSOR NEWMAN on THE WAR.
The distinguished Professor of the London Uni
yersity, Francis W. Newman, has written severe
letter to Lord Derby deprecatng his Austrian pro-
clivlties. In the course of it he says:
These are not the days in which the crusade of
1874 against France is to be repeated. In bad
cause, to make war against united France, with
whom Russia and America sympathise, with Eng
land divided, or rather with all England against
the war except the cabinet, the court (?), and it
may be one or two Rothschilds, would be simply
frenzy. AS distinguished historian lately wrote

TO see tory war against France Among the
many political crimes into which bad government
has betrayed England, interference now in be-

RUNNING AWAY WITH THE BOX.
The Wonitore ToScano states that the Duke of Mo-
dena has carried away the money belonging to seve-
raj public offices, besides 800, 000f which were in
the treasury at Reggie. Being resolved, moreover
not to leave anything for the French to get at he
the preserves of San Felice. He has also ordered
all the bridges to be destroyed and the road of the
Aoetone to be rendered impossible. The same
journal also states that subscription has been
opened at Florence for the monument to Alexander
Won Humboldt which is to be erected at Berlin.
TROUBLES IN EAST.

"There is scarcely any doubt but that the Mon

Turks have not troops enough to repress it. Mon

THE OPINIONS OF THE UNITED STATES.
The Paris Constitutional directs attention to the
feelings manifested in the United States in favor of
the Italian cause and to the approval given to the
intervention of France in the conflict between Aus
trla and Piedmont. The following is an extract
from remarks on the subject:
"Ihis manifestation is the more remarkable that
at this time public opinion in the United States
could not have been deceived. The Italian ques-
tion has appeared to the Americans in all its sim
pllclty and all its grandeur. They have under
stood that on one hand there was the illegal OPP
preston OF an entire people, and the other the
BILE desire of that people to reconquer their nation
ality and independence, and the generous resolu-
tion of friendly power from flying to the succor
of the weak and oppressed against the strong and
the oppressor. What authorizes us to draw atten-
ton particularly to the disposition of the American
public is that various circumstances prove that
they are sincere and universal. 1t would be suiii-
cient to cite the names of the various Journals to
conclude that the generality of the people of the
United States applaud the French policy in Italy,
and express wishes for the triumph of our cause.
| But what is stronger proof is that the American
letters in the English journals testify to the sym
Pathy which is manifested in all places, amongst
all parties, and in all ways. We may call this an
unexpected miracle, accomplished in the United
States by the straightforward character of French
policy. Such unanimitv perhaps never be-
fore witnessed on the American soil since the davs
! of Washington. This union of opposite parties is
less surprising, no doubt, when we bear in mind
that America is perfectly disnteresed in the event
which has Occasioned it, but it nevertheless retains
all its eoquence and this judgment, coming from
such distance and so favorable to u.s. appears the
more impartial and the more worthy o, attention"
| EMIGRATION FROM THE MERsEY IN MAY.
The emigration from the Mersey during Nav has
| been the largest for many months. To the United
States the emigration has of course been the lar
gest, and we have again to notice the large efiux
OF Irish emigrants in ships from the Mcrsey. This
| is the more remarkable seeing the numbers taking
their departure from Cork, Galway and other Irish
ports Out OF about s, 200 emigrants from the Mer-
sey during the past month, upwards of 5000 were
from the 'Esster isle," upwards of 1000 were ma
tlves OF England and the remainder was composed
OF Scotehmen and foreigners. When compared
with the returns for the corresponding period of
1888, those for the past month show an increase of
about 200. To the United States 10 vessels sailed
during the past month, the greater portion being
bound direct for New York. To Canada there have
been only two departures during the month, carry
ing out IA passengers, of whom l35 English,
% Scotch, and 256 Irish. To the Australian colo
MES the sallings have been only four in number,
and the number carried out 1900. They compri-
sed about 500 English, l30 Scotch, COO Irish, and
70 natives of other countries.
Correspondence Of the London Starl
THE CzAE AND EMPEROR.
PARIS, May ga private correspondence is
kept up between the Emperor Napoleon Ill. and
| the Gar. On Wednesday last, the second letter
was dispatched to st. Petersburg, intrusted to an
aid-de-camp in whom more than usual confidence
is reposed. You will do well to watch the doings
of the Grand-Duke Constantine in the East and in
| Greece. The Pays says that at banquet given at
Athens to the brother of the Gar two toasts were
hailed with "frenzied enthusiasm" One was "TO
the of the Franco Italian army;" the other
was, ''To the Franco-Russian Alliance" At the
same time, | am bound to say that know, from
the very best authority, that considerable surprise
is felt at st. Petersburg at the way in which the
Austrans are bringing up corps after corps to their
defence, and at the delays of the French army. |
am quite certain of the following words having
been spoken by the Gar Alexander last week: 81
