Europe.

The last news from Europe is important.
The British Ministry having been defeated on a
very full vote, on Russell resolution, had de-
cidcd on dissolution of Parliament, and an
appeal to the electors. In as much as the op-
position to the Ministry was composed of seve-
raj parties, who agree in nothing except this
vote, the Ministry have taken the wisest course
for the good of the kingdom, by this step, how
ever it may result for them. The Parliament
to be elected will have the division of its par
ties moro sharply defined: and the line of poll
cy to be pursued by whatever Ministry may be
in power, will be much more clearly marked.
The election, moreover will in some degree be
direct expression of the feelings of the pco-
pie toward Louis Napoleon, in as much as the
present Cabinet sympathize with Austria, and
Palmerston, ono of the chiefs of the opposition
and likely to turn up prominently in new
Cabinet, is decided friend to the Frenchman.
The election is thus an important one with
reference to affairs on the continent, us we'll az
III England, and the result will be awaited with
much interest.
The news from the Continent is decidedly
wat-like. No one seems to have any expecta-
tlon that the Congress of the Five Powers will
prevent a war, France and Austria remit moth
ing of their war-like preparations. Austrian
armies are daily marching to Italy, the scene
of the war, and France is alive with hostile
preparations. French stocks have seriously de-
chncd, and all the signs presage war, If the
conflict ca mot be averted, the shock of the ar.
mics will be most terrible. A million of soldiers
lighting on the plains of l.ombardy, will be a
sad and awful spectacle, and the desolaton that
will come in the track of such war will make
black and mournful record for truthful his
tory.

PIT. Barnum and Humbugs.

The rage of humbugs is now likely to die out
and leave mankind as over jealous and practical
as they have for the past few years been specu-
Native, visionary and humbuging. The APP,
pcarance of that arch humbug, P. L. Barnum,
upon the stage some years since, was the signal
for grand rally of all the humbugs-staid
and ministerial and airy-old and
decrepit- young, fast and ilirting-humbugs in
religion, humbugs in scienee-humbuss Of cd
ucation, humbugs Of ignomnce-humbugs Of
nature and natural biccts-humbugs Of trade
-humbugs of agriculture--secret humbugs--
and humbugs of open day-humbugs of life,
and humbugs OF death in short. the world
was Il great stirring mart of wel-dressed, POI
lite and afable--ill- dressed and deformed-big
and little-crooked and straight-lull-winged
and MISUNDERSTANDING The real had gone
to sleep or were out-populated, and stood gazing
with a vacant stare upon the humbugs and the
worse objects to behold the humbugged. But
Barnum' humbug bauble burst, and the world
was equally surprised and satisfied at the details
of what had so. humbugged it before. And
Barnum went to Europe, leaving the smaller
line of humbugs to practice in a small way, by
open deception and bare-faced falsehood, what
he practiced by sleight of hand. With Bar
NUNS downfall we had hoped that the world
would have learned lesson, and that our eyes
and cars would be rid of the show bills placards
and advertisements of wonderful lcats, cures,
and ways to be rich. But the old bug dies
hard His struggles and heavy breathings are
still heard in the valleys. Barnum is trying
his luck on John Bulls thick pate, but if it il
misfortune that it is hard to get any pro.
gressivo ideas into his head, it is certainly a
commendable thing that it is equally hard to FL
it with humbugs.
The last we hear of Barnum is that he meets
with faint applause and very Indifferent success
which encourages us in the belief that humbugs
arc about on their last legs.

The Oberlin Rescue Case.

Last week we made mention of the case of
verdict against the first respondent tried Since
then further particulars of the manifest oppres-
sion and iniquity of the prosecution have come
to hand
The Marshall, it seems, in tho District Court
of Ohio selects the Jury and in this case was so
extremely iudicious as to make the panel up OF
Buchanan Democrats entirely. This, OF COURSE
settled tie fate of the first respondent tried
Immediately on the rendition of the verdict,
the District Attorney called the next prisoner,
and his counsel informed the Court that they
were not quite ready to proceed. but would he
as soon as a new jury were empanneled' The
Judge informed the prisoners that they could
not have new jury, but were to be tried by
the same panel who had just returned with
their verdict. There is no language strong
enough to properly rcprobate such monstrosi-
ty in criminal proceeding. The outrage is
garing and infamous. 1t was condemning the
prisoner to be tried by men whohad both form
ed and expressed an opinion upon every fact il
his case, except the simple question OF thu
prisoners participation in the rescue. Ih
questions whether the person rescued was {
slave, whether he owed service as alleged
whether he was held by warrant, or by a pow
er of attorney, were all material to the defence
and yet the jury had already made up thei
minds upon each one of these questions. Thi
by every rule of law, justice or common sens
would disqualily them as triers. But Judg
Wilson decided that they were just the jury h
wanted, and ordered the cases to proceed. Ii
counsel for the prisoners Indignantly told Il
> Court that the respondents would neither al
, pear by counsel nor make any defence befol
that jury, and the Court ordered them alb
!. tween thirty and forty-into custody. III
S .aior refused to put them into cells, but toe
F.; them into his house and made them as comfor

! Sabbath. On Monday, the Judge still persist
: in his decision. The counsel for the defenc
however, challenged the array, and the Cou
finally yielded and ordered new jury, and Il
case was proceeding at our last intelligent
y against the second respondent.

We cannot forbear calling the particular at
tention of our agricultural readers to the series
of articles now commenced in our Farmer col
umns. We do not pretend that they are from
our own pen, on the contrary, theyare from the
pen of an experienced Agriculturist whose
aid We are pleased to acknowledge in our edit
orial department, and who knows from practical
experience he speaks. 1t is not expect
ed that one person can from week to week treat
upon the numerous passing topics of interest,"
without becoming exhausted, and it is, there
fore, necessary that to maintain a live paper,
there must be varied talent, and number of
ready writers in whose opinion the editor can
place implicit confidence, and whose articles,
while they express the views and are the expo
nents of the policy of the paper, should appear
as editorial. We IRE not untrequently interro-
gated as to whethar such and such articles. are
from our own individual pen, to which we re-
ply that we have an able corps of contributors

BANKING IN VFRMoNw.-0ne fact regarding
the Vermont banks, says a correspondent of the
Cong,egafionohst, is worthy of II more extern
sivc circulation than it can have IN the docu-
ment where it makes its first appearance as part
of an official report. The circulation of the
banks at the commencement of the crisis was
but little less than $4,000, 900 and so severe
was the pressure that in two months their cir.
culation was reduced one-half But notwith-
standing this unprecedented contraction, all the
banks, but four, continued without interruption
to redeem their bills in New York or Boston .
and although it was generally supposed that,
in common with all the other banks in the
country, they suspended specie payment on the
18th Of October, 1857 the fact, nevertheless.
was, that during the whole of the panic. all
the Vermont banks, with one exception, con
tinued to pay specie for their bills to their Gus
toners for all business purposes. That they
were able to sustain themselves at such time
without running their customers, affords the
best possible evidence of their intrinsic sound.
ness, and of the shrewducss with which they
are managed

POTATOES FROM THE BALL.-In the ia II Of
1854 saved dozen potato balls (all from
peach blows ard planted them in a seed bed
the following spring, from which dug about
two quarts of "small specimens of every
conceivable shape and color. There are over
thirty distinct varieties-some very poor and
much affected with the rot-others white,
mealy and nice, and not much affected --sonc
yield we'll, and are good sized, others produce
just enough for seed, and little, wattery, sog-
gy things at that. have planted such as |
thought to be the most promising, and from
my experience in. the matter / am of the
opinion that there will be few amorg them
that will prove productive and profitable.
