ed in London for the purpose of supplying
that beer imbibing city with drinking foun-
tains, that its thirsty inhabitants may be
able to moisten their wind-pipes without be-
ing compelled to enter gin shop, or pur-
chase pot of arf-an-arf." Similar con-
veniences are strongly urged in New York

War Declared.

Our dispatches, to-day, furnish intelli-
gence of the declaration Of war by Austria,
and also on the part of France. 1t is ru-
mored that Turkey is preparing to declare
war, though the dispatches do not state with
whom. I'll probability is that it is with
Russia. Europe will soon become a vast
field of carnage.
The elections in Great Britain have re-
suited in favor of the Tory party-an en-
dorsement of the course pursued by Lord
Derby, who will still remain in power.
