 TIE Nsws FROM EUROPE seems to revolve about Louis Napoleon, the Emperor of France and the principal figure in the great drama of public affairs. His position, his views of any question, and his determinations are waited for with deep and general interest and regarded on all hands as of the utmost con sequence He now stands in an attitude o open opposition to the Pope, in regard to the States of the Church that are in revolt he has distinctly advised his holiness not to attempt tc reduce them to submission has told him, that he cannot aid him in doing it by force, nor per init any other power to employ military coer cion for that end.
 This advlce of the Emperor the Pope has for mally refused to follow, and is now recruiting soldiers from Germany, in order to subdue his rebel subjects. What the result will be, re mains to be seen. Louis Napoleon's attitude ir regard to Sardinia and Central Italy is decided ly in favor of the union of the latter with the former, under the King Victor Emanuel. The French Emperor desires the annexation of sa voy to France as then France would have . natural boundary of mountains on that side put ne will not according to the statement O the newspapers, insist upon that point, unless i can be accomplished with the consent of ss voy-of Sardinia-and also of the great Pow CTS.

In regard to the States of tn Church and Central Italy, her sympathies an, wishes are with the head of the Catholic Church The position of Louis Napoleon in reference |, Prussia and Russia, is not so clear, as there some doubt in regard to the views of those DOW CTS on the questions already referred to, an, which are now on the tapis. It seems to b. probable, however, that they will not be likely t offer very serious opposition to the views whc] England and France have espoused. A Con gross of the great Powers is desired by the Elm peror Whether one will assemble, is doubtful. l Austria and the Pope would hardly be willin, to risk the points on which they are at varianc with France, to such a body. It is very appa rent, that Louis Napoleon is the man of tn time in Europe; and he displays wonderful pow ers
 A NEW LIGHT FOR CARs.-Conductor Beacl on the Naugatuck Railrood, who is always con sulting the good of the road as we'll as the com fort of the passengers, has succeeded in adaptin, l an improved light for the inside of cars, whcl promises to supersede the use of common oil In coming up the road few evenings since, w had an opportunity to observe the effect of tn new light aud found it as brilliant as that pro duced by the gas car apparatus in use on som 1 other roads.
