Important from Eurone.

BY the steamship Europa, we have received
adyices from Europe to the Sth inst. From
Italy the news is alarming. In Milan an out
break was hourly expected, and the soldiers
were suspected of sympathising with the peo-
pie, to whose cry of g Nce Halia" some of
them had responded The University of Pa
via was about to be opened, but although the
garrison had been augmented, collisions were
Appreciated upon the return of the students,
and the place was almost III state of ssige.
There was difficulty between the Hungarian
and Austrian regiments forming the garrison
of Cremona. The Sandman government is
preparing for war. Finally 10000 men from
the Austrian army, have left for Italy, making
force Of 100000 there Alarming reports
were still rife respecting the significance of the
remark by Napoleon to the Austrian Embassa-
dor. The impression gains ground that Europe
is again upon the eve of a general war. 1t
said that Prince Napoleon has assured Lord
Cowley of the willingness of France to aban-
don the present system of negro immigration,

coolies from the British possessions.

90 NWOUpB We XLY B BR AID
Highwaymen and Braves.

We clip the following from the Washington
Correspondence Of the New York Tribune of
Saturday last:-" The intestine strife which
is rapidly rendng in pieces the Democratic
party broke out with great violence in the Sc
cret session of the Senate yesterday Mr..
Hale was in the chair, and discussion arose
upon the merits of some nominations to Office
which had been sent in by the President
Mr.. Pugh of Ohio denounced the President
with great bitterness, accusing him Of insin-
certify and insolence, and declaring that he
ment to oppose and thwart him whenever aud
wherever he could.
Mr. Douglas spoke in the same strain, stig
matzing Mr. Buchanan's recent appointments
to office in the West in very severe terms He
intimated that the Buchanan Postmasters in
Illiuoise were little better than thieves, and
were so regarded by the people. If anything
was missing from the mails, tie Postmasters
were nstinctively suspected of larceny.
These imputations on the standard bearers
of the Faithful reused the ire of Mr.. Fitch
who denied their justice, charged Mr.. Doug
las with uttering shameful calumnies, and de-
nounced him as a rebel to the Democratic
party
Mr. Douglas replied that he was an unsnb-
dued and successful rebel, and that neither
the President nor his Senatorial followers could
put him down. He then .retorted upon the
gentleman from Indiana his charge Of false
hood and defamation At this stage of the
affair, Mr. Hale the Chairman, called the dis
putants to order, kindly suggesting in his face
tious way, that the harmony of the Demo-
cratic party would not be promoted by such
displays of frategnal affection.
The war of words still continuing, Mr. JEFF
ferson Davis at length interposed. and STORMY
rebuked the scoldng Senator's He told them
they were talking +" like highwaymen and
braves" give You his exact language and
that the conduct was shameful, and disgrace
full to the Senate This brought them to their
senses, and they subsidized in silence.
This scene is said to have been the most
violent ard indecorous that has ever occurred
in the Senate, even in secret session, where the
proceedings are accompanied always with
great freedom of manner and Of language
the Senators lighted their cigars and talking
and discussing i'll the free and easy style of an
after dinner conversation
1t is little remarkable that on the very
day when Mr.. Broderck took the trouble to
openly relieve the sensitiveness Of some of his
brother Senators of the Democratic party at
my statement in the Tribune, that he had
compared them to a gang of burglars, anoth
er Senator should feel compelled to compare
them to highwaymen and braves. But let
hat pass. The most serious aspect of the
matter is the indication it gives that, in spite
of all his concessions, Mr.. Douglas is still re-
garded as rebel, who must be put down and
punished AMI the further indication, in the
case Of Mr.. Pugh, that Lccemptonlsn is not
the only source of dssension that rankles in
the bosom Of the African Democracy.

Appointments.

We understand says the Trenton RepubH
can of the 22d inst, that the Governor sent
to the Senate yesterday morning the following
nominations:
For Chamce1or-A. o. Zabriskie, vice Ben
iamin Williamson.
For Justices of the Supreme Conrt-Edward
W. Whepley, Vice Martin Ryerson resigned
William S. Clawson, vice L. O. G. Elmer;
John Van Dyke, vice Stacy G. Potts. Daniel
Haines. for re-appointment.
Prosecutors Of the Pleas--Camden Co..
George NJ Robertson vice Thomas w Null
ford; Gloucester Co., John B.. Harrison vice
Joshua s. Thompson; Cumberland and Cape
May Counties Charles S. Stratton of Camden
vice Samuel A. Allen
The above, we think, are excellent nomina-
tions, and will be almost unanimously confirm.
ed by the people; and, we trust by the Senate
The list embraces good and true men, and
though differing somewhat in political opinions
they will have the good of the State at heart
and will each do his whole duty, able and
fearlessly, in the place assigned him by the
Governor; or rather by the people, through
their representative, the Governor.
In making these nominations. Governor
Newell will be sustained by ninety-nne hun.
dredths of the Opposition party of New Jer-
sey; and by every Democrat in whose heart
justice predominates over sel6shness and party
ties.
Our only wish now is that he will stand by
these nominations and let the Senate take the
full responsibility of rejecting them if they
choose. If rejected, he should send them all
in again accompanied with Message thai
he has none others to present. If they
should still refuse, and the courts have to be
closed because of their refusal, the people
will take the matter in hand and, by their
votes, teach these gentleman, and their party,
a lesson never to be.forgotten. The issue is
now fairly made up, and time will prove
whether justice or tyranny is to predominant
in the government of our State.

In Citizeng Hall" last evening hg@Bishop
CLARE of Rhode Island, was highly entertain
ing and instructive, and may truly be termed
tnpssgst Of the season, although all former
Ones have been good. About three hundred
persons were present, who left the Hall not
only pleased, but laden with ideas for future
reflection upon subject which many proba-
ly, never before supposed was fraught with SO
much interest. The subject was--"Form and
Substance"
We are much gratifed to observe the in
creasing interest manifested by our citizens in
matters of this kind. Surely, there is not a
more profitable or pleasant way to spend the
long winter evenings than at
