An Emeute in Milan.

The following incident. related III letter
from Milan, dated Dec. 9th, shows the state
of feeling in Italy:
The city Of Milan was yesterday the thea
tire of Il rather serious contest between the
crowd and the Austrian soldicry. Eye wit
neSseS relate the origin Of it in the following
way An Austrian soldier was luunging III
the court of The Porta Fornarima. smoking his
cigar. when some individuals approached.
demanding that he should cease smoking
He rcluscd-on which one Of them gave him
4 violent box on the ear. The soldier immc
diatcly threw himself upon hi. assaiIants.
and called his comrades to his assistance,
who came running with swords drawn.
But the mob likewise arrived quickly from
all sides. and their numbers were soon far
greater than those of the soldiers. These
were completely surrounded by Il close crowd.
and thus were in situation which, III Italy,
must bc looked upon a. peculiarly uncomtnrta-
bic. where the dagger makes it, appearance
whenever tho crowd is sufficiently dense H.

The soldiers were. however, saved by II
patrol coming Wp and charging the crowd
with fixed hayonrts. The people then began
to tear up the pavement and throw the stones
at the soldiers, " ho, bvordcr of the command

Withdrew into the interior Of neighborins
church. Similar disturbances took place
simultaneously in other parts of Milan. and
the people, in Il state Of excitement filled the
streets until late in the evening This morn
ing. news reached Milan that. at Pavia an
attempt was made TO set fire to the police bar
racks. Nor is the aspect Of Milan, itself, to-
day. much more rcassuring. Everybody who

Mount Vesuyius.

A letter addressed by Hon. Joseph r.
Chandler, Minister Resident of the United
States at the Court of Naples. to Professor
Henry, of the Smithsonian Institution, (the
date of the letter, December 10TH relative to
an expected eruption of Mount Eesuvius,
says:
"At the present moment the people of this
city are in great excitement at the indication
of dangerous eruption from Mount Iesu-
vius. For long time great masses of lava
have been issuing from apertures on the side
of the mountain, about halfway up; and
these apertures have been augmcnting in
number and size so rapidly that not only is
there apprehension Of an eruption, but seri-
Gus fears are expressed that the sides Of the
mountain will soon be so worn and pcrtora-
ted as to be no longer able to sustain the SUI
perior portion, and people are leaving the
vicinity and coming into the city proper
Last night the mcuntain was trul y grand
The hundreds of great fires on the sides red
hot Laval were terribly brilliant, while the
vast volume of smoke that rose slowly from
the crater above had its side Illuminated by
the fire on the TANKS and presented an APP
pcarancc of Undesirable grandeur"

An Amiable Amusement of the Lion.

Among the numerous fearful stories which
Jules Gerard, the French lion hunter, regaleS
his readers. We find the following descrip-
ton Of trait in the character Of the king OF
beasts:
THE lion treats man very differently from
any animal that he is accustomed to kill tor
food he kills person who has fired at
him he never eats the body. If he meets III
his nightly promenade man well clothed IN
burnouS, his experience shows him that he ~
not a maraudcr and he may either kill him
for food, or if the fancy happens to take him,
he will kill him by fear, little by little, just
aS pastlmc.
In the first case he will give him barely
time enough to say his prayers, and then
bounding on him will crush his head with
Il single bite, instead of strangling him as
h. is accustomed to do with other animals.
In the second case, he sometimes will bar
the passage Of the unfortunate fellow by ~
ing down before him. and then he will walk
along by his side, purrng and showing his
teeth like a tiger Sometimes he makes be-
lieyc to go away and leave him alone, and
then making long detour he will conceal
himself along the path, and charge ut him
:
like IL cat and boundso his victim, who gives
himself up for lost, but the tantalizer only
knocks him over. or strikes him in the face
with blow like a fail from his muscular tail.
At last the victim succumbs to the agony that
is greater than thousand deaths, and dies OF
very fear.
These pastimcs Of the lion. that as one can
well imagine have never been told by the
victim himself, are reported by his comrades,
who. having been in company, sought safety
by fight, by taking refuge on rocks or trees,
while the poor soul that was captured, too
much frightened 10 initiate their example,
died before their eyes of terror, while they
they could do nothing for his relief but pray
TO the Prophet. who only heard when it was
too late to save.
These attacks, so horrible in their fascina-
ton. have given certain semblance of proof
10 the universally accredited belief in the
magnctizing power of the lion

We received, says the New York Herald Of
the Odd, the Salt Lake Valley Tan, of Deem
Der ), brought through by the last Overland
Mail via Placcrvillc. We make the following
extracts from its columns:
Mr.. Wilson, United States District Attor-
ncy for Utah, in an address delivered before
the United States Grand Jury in Salt Lake
CITY, gave his reasons for not presenting
bills of Indictment for treason. He quoted
the proclamation of the President, of April
9th, 1858, offering pardon TO the rebellous
Mormons, the missions of the Peace Commits
sioners, and the proclamation Of Governor
Cumming. In conclusion, Mr.. Wilson said:
Therefore, gentlemen of the Grand Jury.
it ONLY remains for me to say, for the rca-
sons given, that there are no acts of sedl-
ton treason or rebellion against the Govern
ment of the United States in this Territory,
which the Prosecuting Attorney of the Uni
ted States for the Territory of Utah, with the
Presidents proclamation and pardon before
him. and the Governor solemn announce
ment of its acceptance, can charge before
YOU, against any of the inhabitants of this
judicial district, or the Territory of Utah"
