The ncws from Italy "a interesting. SARDINIA Is allowed
by France 10 accept the agency over the Central

been once more in state q lnsurrecton This would have
led 70 much useless bloodshcd France and perhaps
Austria, would have set promptly at work 10 put down

mitted 70 WELD n temporary power over the
Central States, subject TO the final dispositions
Of the European Congress, which viii assemble In
consequence Of TINS arrangement Garioald has thrown
up his military command as head of the volunteer force
which he has been enrolling for some months past and
wisely for he had attempted with his raw eyes
tho banner OF revolution and defy both Sardinia and
France nc would nave osen crushed and lost all the re-
putaon he has SO widely acquired in tho late war for
herom and dsnterestedness He Is deeply chagrinedat
tho necessity OF giving up tho prominent r5e he has
pgton Of Italy. This Is, however, an idle dream, for
Italy and the Italians different things from the
himself were to come down 10 take arialds post and
find France Austria and tho Pope staring him In thu
face, he would forthwith throw up the job in disgust and
returnn Heaven with the conviction that the Italians
had better leave revolution alone which, instead OF end
ing with republic such as he had hand in, would only
wind up with despotsm worse than that so lately

hero but he be OF great service to his country by
prudent and truly patriotic course
The treaty OF Zurich is complete and one of It's clauses
supuates the payment Of fifty millions OF dollars by in
stalmcnts to Austria from Sardinia. This is just the

California but Sardinia has choice in the matter The
battle chiefly fought and by France which gave
Lombardy to Sardinia; and France concliate
AUSTRIA has required Sardinia to pay for her and
rich possession This is all right and the London Times
thinks Austria would be glad to sell the rest OF her Italian
territory for anything like the money which she
stands greatly in neod or II would be just like Austria
after getting the money, TO seize the first occasion 70
conquer LOmbardy back but she will venture upon
such doubtful enterprise long Napoleon Ill regns
in France, that is quite certain.
Smith O'Brien has just been delivering lecture the
United States wherein he gives the impressions gathered
from his late travels there. He remained there too short
time - obtain any correct knowledge Of insti
tnons; but his object in this lecture seemed to be
much TO excite the curiosity OF his audience about the
great republic Of the West to seize the
fling at the British government and the British people.
This sort Of thing quite out of date Ireland nova
days. and Smith Bien might have made better Of his
recent journey to the United States by giving the Irish pco
pie useful knowledge, than by seeking iname
tiona predudces that dying out and endeavong
ngloriously failed Besides II in bad taste abuse the
government which gave him pardon and restored to
him his property coniscated by his OF treason.
The month Of November has behaved itself so far OK
ceedngly we'll Instead Of ncessant fsgs and pitiess
rain, have been blessed with weather mostly clear
and dry The town, in consequence, is unusually ami
mated in spite Of the absence Of most Of the aristo
West End The shops quite crowded. The theatres
dong brisk business The city ITSELF in spite of the
gloomy political horizon, Is daily Matching specua-
tons to absorb the excess Of capital flowing in If the
Of the disarmament is confirmed then look out for
speculative mania and its final results.
