THE WAR IN EuRopE.-A Washing ton dispatch, of the 18th ult., to the .New York Herald, says:
 Letters received at the State Depart ment, brought by the Arago, from MT. Dallas, state that strenuous efforts were being made hy England, in conjunction with other Powers, to arrest the progress of hostilities and make another attempt at me ' diation. The English Ministry entertain strong belief that something may yet be done to arrest hostiiities; and that if a cessation for short time could be effected, the difficulties might be adjusted upon a basis entirely satisfactory to both parties, and thus avert the impending storm which threatens Europe.
 MT. Dallas is of opinion that the war is too far advanced for mediation that no Power or Powers can prevent it; that it will not be confined to Italy, but that the whole of Europe will become involved. The latter is what England fears.

 The State debt of Austria was estima- ted in 1856 at $l ,250. 100000. The budget of 1857 shows receipts ordinary and extraordinary, of about $ 50. .000, ,00C and, expenses of $l70, 400, ,000, deficit of twenty millions.
 Sardinia is also an immediate party tc the struggle. The population in 1857 amounted to SLY ,542. The budget ol 1858 showed revenue of about twenty seven and half millions of dollars. and an expenditure of twenty eight and hall millions of dollars-the debt being, Janu' ary l, 1858, SIPS, 10000.
 The army. according to the war budget of 1858, consisted of 47,9l5 rank and file, and the navy numbered twenty nine ships, (six steam frigates, four. sail frig- ates, &c. carrying 436 cannons.
 The Lombardo- Venetian Kingdom in- cludes that part of Italy lying north of the Papal States, Parma and Modena, and stretching east from Lake Maggiore and the Tlcino to the Adriatic; 245 miles long l30 broad, embracing l7,547 square miles Lombardy, of which Milan is the capital and m which are the cities of Brescia Como, Mantua, and Pavia, has popula- ton of 2,725,750. The Venetian provin- ces, in about the same area, have 2,2Sl,- 732 total of 5,007, ,472-or 275 to a square mile.
 Venice, Verona, and Padua, we'll known cities, are in this division. These provinces form one of the richest agricul- lural regions in Europe, producing corn, maize. rice, hemp. and flax, besides wine, and great products of the dairy, butter, cheese, and much milk.
 But, as already intimated. should a struggle take place, it will not be confined to the nations above mentioned. Others will be drawn in, and the contes, is likely to prove one of the bloodiest that has ever taken place.-T Philadelphia Enquirer.

THE PER DIEM QUESTION. .Na poleon Pldnter of the 18th ult., says:

Hon. o. H. Oates addressed the citizens of Napoleon on Tuesday night last, on the per diem question, which he treated in his usual eloquent and logical manner. The speaker labored under the embarrassment incident to the absence of Col Duval, the principal de- batter on the opposite side of the subject.
 This per diem question is fast becoming an arrant humbug. The people of the State will send but few, if any, of those who took pay for services not rendered the State, to represent them again in the Legislature. We are of opinion lha, neither Col. OATES or Col. DuvAL will be enabled to give the people any new light" as regards this question, by can vassing the State. Better stay at home and bide your time,' gentlemen.

THE DRourH IN THE TRoplcs. The

THE DRourH IN THE TRopics. past season has been as remarkable fol drouth in the tropics as for an unusual precipitation in the northern temperate portions of this continent. A letter-wri- ter who has spent the winter in the WesI Indies and South America, says:
 Never before have the rivers beer known to be so low. and the effect upon the crops, as it does, after unusually heavy rains in the wet season, has been ln many places disastrous And it Is curious thai the drouth has been more severe as you approach the southern-mest line. In the Island of Porto Rico the coffee and to. bacco crops will be very light, while in the Southern States of the neighboring Republic of Mexico the same complaints are made. It remains now to be seen what effect this irregularity of the seasons will have upon the health of these coun- tries.

ARREST OF J. RIGDoN IRvING.-1t has been, for some weeks past, confidently asserted that the committee of the citizens of Jackson, Tenn, appointed to investi- gate the murder of George Miller and the robbery of the bank in that place, in Feb ruary last, had fixed the identity of the guilty perpetrator of the two-fold crime. It was also generally understood that J. Rigdon Irving, son of a hotel-keeper at Jackson, was the individual to whom the evidence pointed. About the time of the murder, thls individual disappeared from Jackson. and had not been certainly heard from until week or two since, when his father showed the committee letter from him, dated somewhere in Tishomingo Co.,, Miss, where, as he and his father state, he has been at work ever since his disap- pearance from Jackson. MT. Irving, ST., passed through this place on Tuesday last, on his return home from Tishomingo, and stated that his son had just been arrested and taken across the country to Jackson, by some of the citizens from that place, who had gone after him at his (the faih- er's) instance. He also stated that his son could prove, by citizens of Tishomingo, that he had been in their midst diligently at work for living, and almost without money, ever since the 23d of February. The murder was committed, we believe. on the 3d of that month.
 What will be the result of young IT, vings examination at Jackson, remains to be seen.- Quid-Nunc, May 2l.

While Austria is engaged in war with France and Italy, and near y all its resources are exhausted, then l would be an easy matter for the nine mil lions of Hungarians to rise and assert the independence of their country. The hour and the occasion, so anxiously looked fol by Gen. Kossuth, when he was in the United States, in l55l. have arrived. The opportunity can hardly fail to be embraced by some of the bold Magyars.

TIE SEAT OF WAR IN IrALY.-The near approach of the French, Sardlnian and Austrian hosts to each other, and the probability that ere this there has been bloody engagements fought, will give in- terest to short description of the seat ol war:
 "It is generally thought that the re. lieving army, admirable though it be, will find it hard work to drive the Austrians beyond the Ticno. The key of northern Italy lies in the comparatively narrow space, about thirty miles wide, between the swamps and marshes of the Pc and the spurs of the Austrian Tyrol. Across thls passage run two parallel streams, the Ticno and the Adige, and upon them are situated in sort of quadrangle four first rate Actresses, Peschiera and Mantua on the first, and Verona and Lgnano on the second. Throughout this terrific pass ol fortrosses and rivers the French must march, unless they can turn these defenses by landing behind them, on the coast be- tween the mouth ofthe Pc and the Trieste -an undertaking almost as difficult. It is probable, however, that 1t will be at tempted in the shallow waters of Venice and the neighborhood, by means of the newly invented gun-boats of Louis NaPo- loon

The scene is represen- ted to have been awful the earth rock ing, temples and towers tumbling, and the people shrieking in terror and dismay. The earthquake extended over consider able range of country, but Quito suffered most. IL is built on an extensive plain
 near the mountains, and seems to be situ- ated on the top of huge subterranean boiling cauldron, as it has been visited several times by such calamites. That city contains about 50, ,000 inhabitants, and before this earthquake occurred it contain. ed several very splendid public buildings
