HoNDERs EDIroRlAL.-A great many lu.
dicrous blunders have been produced by
transpos,ion and leaving out points. A

THE WAR.

The news from the seat of war is highly
important, though it does not appear that
any further decided battle had taken place.
1t really would almost seem as if the Aus.
trians were showing the white feather as
well as wearing the white uniform. They
have abandoned Pivia, Pacenza, Lodi,
'Cremona and other places which they occu.
pied. They blew up the notifications of
Piacenza on abandoning that city. The
telegraphic report also mentions that they
had acquitted Ancona. This may be
mistake in the name, for Ancona is a sea-
port belonging 10 the Pope, and is entirely
out of the line of the present war II was
garrisoned, we believe, by the Austrians,
on the first alarm of'warj and tits proba BILE
that they have retired now, from sheer ina.
bility TO maintain such an insolate position.
It would appear that the Austrians are
" collecting their force towards their strong.
holds, Mantua and Verona. This will also
bring them nearer 10 Venice, and allow
them, at push. 10 take strong position in
the Tyro. But this would no less be an
admission OF defeat, because ii would sur.
render Lombardy to the Allies. 1t would
not surprise us 10 learn, in the course of the
present week, of great battle having been
fought on the plateau or fiat country be-
tween Mantua and Verona-the former city
is very strongly fortified.
From England the main news is that the
Derby ministry have resigned. The Queen
has been compelled, it seems, 10 accept
Lord Pamerston as Premier He has fol-
lowed Dogberry's plan, Of favoring i" the
most desartless man." by making Lord John
Russell his Foreign Secretary. One would
have thought that after Lord Johns misera-
Bile diplomatic failure, in his unfortunate
Mission 10 Vienna, during the Crimean
War, that he had go: quite enough of med.
. ding with foreign affairs, of which he is re.
fnarkably ignorant. His Lordship would
under take 10 act as commander-in chief Of
fighting army, with the same confidence
which now emboldens him 10 take The For.
eign portfolio.

the telegraphic news by the Bremen which
appears in another column.

How TO MANAGE THE LITTLE ONEs.-W e
find in one of our exchanges the following
suggestions, in behalf of the little folks :,
which are deserving of fcons:dera,ion. The
writer says, now that the warm weather has
come, let your children amuse themselves
out OF doors. Don't keep them shut up
like house plants, until they become as
pale and thin as ghosts. Strip of the finery,
put on course garments, and turn them out
10 play in the sand-to make "mud cakesn
10 daub their faces with anything of ar
"earthly nature" which will have a ten
dency 10 make them look as though they
had entered into partnership with dirt
Keep them in the house and they will soon
look like, and be of about as much value,
as petatoe which grows in the celer, pale,
puny, sickly, sentimental wrecks of humani-
y. Turn them out, we say, boys and girls,
and let them run, snuff the pure air, and be
happy. Who cares if they do get tanned
Leather must be tanned before il is fit for
use, and boys and girls must undergo a
hardening process. before they are qualified
TO engage in the arduous duties of active
life.

DISTANCE REeIsTERED.-A very simple
conrivance was shown us on Saturday,
whereby the distance Travelled in carriage
or wagon may be accurately registered. 1t
is about the size of a small watch, attached
to the face of a hub band, and works some.

does the gas, by feet. This invention is
most desirable to livery stable men, whose
