Mr.. GIDDINGs IN BAD LUCK.-The Troy
Arena says that when Mr.. Giddings was in
Troy, N. Y, last week, he rode twenty miles
in the morning to take the cars. He arrived
just in time to see the train leave without him.
He was then driven to hotel, said to be the
best in the place, and ordered breakfast, that
he might be ready to take the next train-
Failing TO get breakfast he was hurried into
rickety gocart called an omnibus to go to
the train. He tore his coat badly in endeav-
oring to escape from the vehicle, and was
again too late for the train. AT length, how.
ever, he got on board of a train and went east
ward. The trials of the venerable traveller
were not yet at an end. In crossing the ferry
at Albany he lost his hat, and entered the
Hudson River cars for New York without a
covering for his head other than his handker-
chief. While on his way down the river his
spectacles and congress knife got out of his
reach and disappeared altogether Giddings
insisted that he had been pretty well skinned
in one way or another. AS he had sum-
mons to appear before the Harper's Ferry
Committee, they might think he had just es-
capped from the Pennsylvania mountains after
the raid of old John Brown, if they judged
him by his appearance.

EFFECT OF THE REvIvALs IN IRELAND
traces of its presence in the county of Down as
to elicit from the Assistant Barrister, Mr. Will
liam Armstrong, O. c., the following official
declaration at the opening of the late quarter
sessions in Coleraine: "When l look into the
calendar for the last three months, and in
memory look back on calendars that came be-
fore me, | am greatly struck with its appear
ance on this occasion. During the entire of
three months which have passed since | was
here before, l find that but one new case has
to come before you, and one which is in some
respects unimportant AS | said before, am
greatly struck at the appearance of this caen-
dar, so small is the number of cases, when
formerly had calendars filed with charges for
different nefarious practices-pocket picking
and larcenies of various sorts Now | have
none of these, l am happy to say. How is
such gratifying state of things to be account
ed for? 1t must be from the improved state
of the morality Of the people. believe l am
fully warranted now to say that to nothing else
than the moral and religious movement which
commenced early last summer can the change
be attributed l can trace the state of your
calendar to nothing else. 1t is a matter of
great qualification when we see the people
OF this country improving, and | trust that no
temptations of any sort will arise by which
they can be induced to forsake the paths of
rectitude."
The FEELING AT VIENNA.-The Vienna
correspondent OF the London Times. writing
Jan. llth, said can opportunity has just
presented itself of learning the opinions of the
Imperial Government on the Central Italian
question. His Majestys official advisers are
strongly opposed to active intervention in any
part of Italy, as they fear that Venice, and
possibly Hungary, would be lost if Austria
should be again involved in a war with France
and Sardinia. 'It cannot be doubted" said
my informant, ''that renewal of the war
would be attended with bankruptcy, but the
Roman Catholic hierarchy has such a great
influence at court that no one can positively
say the Emperor will remain perfectly pas
sive." Extreme depression prevails in the
highest circles, and an illustrious lady is said
to be frequently in tears, and to complain that
things are very badly managed. The reason
why nothing progresses favorably in Austria
is known to every one. The government is
OF opinion that the present state of things in
Europe cannot last, and it holds back with the
promised reforms, in the hope that something
may occur which will render return to mill
tary absolutism possible.

CINCINNATI IMPRovEMESTs-OPENIN OF A
New AND EXTENSIVE WHOLESALE CLOTHING
EsTABLIsHMENT.-A new and extensive busi-
ness-house, an ornament to the city, and alto
gether one of the finest in the county, was
opened yesterday by Messrs. Heidelback,
Seasongood & Co. The building is five stories
high, with basement and cellar beneath,
Third and Vine. 1t is built of free-stone,
and the style of architecture is light, grace
full and elegant.
The cellar, which has an entrance from
Vine-street, is large, well-lighted and ad-
mirable ventilated, and is used for the storage
of goods in boxes, and contains an apparatus
for the generation of steam, with which the
entire establishment viii be heated-if the
temperature of the atmosphere in Cincinnati
ever again becomes such as to render II nee
essary, which now seems to be rather doubt
full. The hosting apparatus is an excellent
one, and has steam for motive power. The
basement, which is very commodious, has
also an entrance from Vine-street, and /;
used for the display of woolen goods.
The first story opens on Third-street, and
the main room is seyenty-four by ffty-foul
feet, with ceiling sixteen feet high. 1t is
furnished in elegant style, and is used for the
display of cloths, cassimeres and notions. II
the rear is the counting-room and private

very pleasant rooms, well ventilated ant
finely furnished. B1L ..
The second, third and fourth stories hay'
rooms similar in size and finish to that aboy,
mentioned, each arranged for distinct apart
ment of the business, with all the modern
conveniences, and adapted to its purpose il

story are cloths and vestings; in the thirt
coats, exclusively; in the fourth pants, vest
and furnishing goods, while the fifth, a large
| light and airy room, with private stairwa,
leading into it for the workmen, has beei
fitted up for the cutters department.
The eutire cost of the structure, including
| the ground upon which it is built, amounted
to nearly 100000. The firm is one of tn
oldest in the city; their location one of tn
best. The opening, yesterday, brought then
number of visitors all of whom were en-
tertained in the most agreeable manner witt
an optical banquet and q sumptuous repast
prepared by Henry Aims, and enlivened witt
a profuse display of Heidsick, Munns Cabi
