The IMPENDING CoNFLICT.-Tbe prospect
of European war, growing out of the Italian
imbroglio, looks more probable at this moment
than at any former period. We think the
month of April will determine the question, or
May at furthest. If no collision takes place
by June, we think peace may be counted on
for the remainder of the year. The following
extract is from letter by the well-informed
London correspondent of the New York Com
mercial:
"The dull thunder-cloud kind of oppression
described by the latest two or three packets,
continues All persons, both in the political
and commercial world would seem to have re-
signed themselves to it, in the belief that it
may prevail for long time, and that it can be
broken ultimately only by sharp catastrophe.
From every part of France details daily ar
rive of increased military and naval prepare
tons. The tone of the press is alike belliger-
ent. The industrial and financial classes in
vain cndeayor to stem the tide, and are rapidly
becoming convinced of their impotence. In a
short time the requisite feeling of irritation
will be aroused to induce the country to plunge
into anything.
1t is believed the government are at length
thoroughly convinced that mischief is at hand"

The LuNATIc PAUPER CAsE.-It appears
by the Hampshire county papers, that the
case of Amherst VS.. Shelburne did not turn
upon the question of insanity, but was decided
on the ground that Asa Smith, the grandfather
of Norman, never gained settlement in Shell
burne. The jury at first stood for Shelburne
and for Amherst, but the Sheburne men
succeeded in bringing over the other nine.
Much surprise is expressed at the verdict and
exceptions have been taken in hopes of get
ting new trial granted by the Supreme
Court.

EXTRAORDINARY EFFECT OF METEOR
On the 18th ult, about p. NJ, while some
gentlemen were driving on an open car in the
neighborhood of Binghamstown, Erris county
OF Mayo, they were overtaken by storm of
hal SO severe as to exceed anything of similar
nature ever witnessed by any of the party be-
fore. 1t continued for about ten or fifteen
minutes, and was succeeded by darkness the
most profound. AT this moment a ball of fire,
about the size of an orange, and of dull
color, emitting some sparks, passed rather
slowly between two of the party on the off side
oil the car, and Immediately exploded. All
were instantaneously struck blind by the in
tense brilliancy Of the light, and il was some
tune before they recovered sufficiently to con
tnue on their road. A feeling of numbness
ana prostration was experienced more or less
by each individual, which continued long
Tune, and the driver was quite unable to hold
the reins or where he was going A slight
Kissing sound accompanied this evolution of
hght, and appeared TO proceed from the passage
OF the meteor through the air. A loud clap of
thunder followed, but at long interval.--Dub-

NEW HAMpsHIM ELECTION.


GREAT REFUB&sCAN vICTORYi
Governor, Senate, iceancil, House of Represent
atives, and congressman, all Right!
The New hampshire Statesman Ezra. Of
wednesday, morning, gives returns rom one
hundred snd thirty-six towns, of the election
In ptesday, which foot up as follows;
Goodwin Republican, 2e64o
Cate, Democrat, 23342
Goodwin's majority; 1928
The Statesman, in commenting upon the
result, says;
1.-The election yesterday occurred under cir
cumstances calculated both to lessen the Re-
publican majority of 1858, and to forbid the
collection of returns with the expedition and
completeness of that year. BY the most ex-
traordinary exertions on the part of the Dem
Gratis, to carry the First and the Second Con-
gressional Districts, the majority for Governor
has been reduced to figure considerably be-
low that for Governor in 1858, and the MAORI
ties for members of Congress in the three dis
tricts will be less than in March, 1857.
Never since the extension of the State as an
independent member of the Union, were such
extraordinary exertions put forth in behalf of
candidates for Congress- in labor and money,
as III tlle rlTSt anu SECOND DlStrlctS. Money
in the utmost abundance was freely distributed
in the aforementioned Congressional Dis
tricts, and all the machinery ever put in mo-
ton in an election canvass has had full
play, through which to defeat Messrs. Marston
and Tappan But thanks to the determine
ton of the gallant Republicans of New Hamp-
SHIRE the purposes of the Democratic party
have been signally defeated, and the Republi-
cans emerge in triumph from one of the most
important election conflicts of the last four
years. Our banner yet waves in perfect tri-
umph over the State.
The returns received up to the hour of put
ting this extra sheet to press are not sufficient
ly complete to enable us to state the result
with so much precision as we desire. We
think, however, that the majority for the Re
publican candidate for Governor will exceed
3O0O that the majority for Mr.. Marston will
not be less than 500 that Mr.. Tappan is re-
elected by from 800 to 1000, and that the ma
jority for Mr.. Edwards will be in the neigh
borhood of 1000.
The following Geographic dispatch is little
later, and fully confirms the good news:
CONCORD, March 9.-Returns from 154
towns have been received, which indicate that
Goodwin's majority will be at least 5000.
The majorities in the Congressional districts
are sufficiently large for all practical purposes
Eight of the Republican State Senators are
thought to be elected, four of the five Council
Tors, and there will be large Republican ma
Jority in the House.

very large and intelligent audience was pres

OF the Midsummer Nights Dream"-the
most difficult and most dramatic of the Shaks-

critical and appreciative audience. Her pres

that had been promised, and gave new zest
to the desire to hear the entertainment of this
evening. Among the readings promised are
Whttier's "Maud Muller" Burns's "Tam

the first and second acts of the "Honey Moon"
and "zenel, or the Fate Of the Pirate Crew"

POLICE COURT.-The only cases DeIore lile
Court yesterday were for the violation OF city
ordinances. Mrs. Alpheus Merrifield, for
emitting to remove snow from her sidewalk,
was discharged with the payment of costs
Mr.. Jonathan Day, on the same charge, plead
that he "would not contend with the Common
wealth, " and paid his fine of 81 and costs
Mrs. David Woodward, for the same neglect
was fined 81 and costs. The case OF MIR. Ed
win Draper was further continued till III
o'clock this morning.
THE EDUCATIONAL MEETING this evening
promises to be one of much interest. 1t Is
understood that, in addition to the lecture OF
Rev. Mr.. Richardson, in whose praise nothing
need be said to the Worcester public, the sub
ject of physical education will be discussed by
some of our ablest speakers. Hon. Isaac Da-
Wis will preside. The discussion is to COM
mence at o'clock. We trust the hall will be
filled. The exercises WILL of course, be free
to the public.
PORTRAIT OF JUDGE THoMAs.-Toward the
ter bar, of which the Hon. Peter c. Bacon was
chairman, requested Judge Thomas to sit for
his portrait, to be placed in the Court House in
this city. The portrait has been finished by
Mr.. Wight of Boston, and is now at the store
of Messrs. Williams & Everett, on Washington
street, where it will remon till it is removed to
its final place of designation-the new Court
House in this city. The Traveller says:
"Few portraits of the like size and style
have attracted so much attention for a long
time, or SO justly deserve the concentrations
bestowed upon it, for it seems hardly possible
to produce more truthful and strikingly char
acteriStic likeness, or one more natural and
perfect in position, drawing, colorng tone,
and artistic effect. Indeed, in the opinion of
some critical judges, it is only equaled by Mr..
Wight in his famous paintings of Humboldt
and Everett, the splendid engravings of both
of which are becoming more and more in re-
quest every day, throughout the country"
HARVARD CoLLEGE.-At a meeting of the
Board of Overseers of Harvard College, We'd
