SARDINIA.-The Opinione, Of Turin, asserts
that the Governments Of Chambray, Savoy
and Nice are about TO publish proclamation
in accordance with the views contained in
Cavours note Of March 2. .. .....
TURIN, March 10.--The official Gazette
publishes Farino's reply to Cavours message
of the 29tli of February. He says II the form
of the new vote is not decided upon, he
should choose universal suffrage. The acts
of Rome have destroyed any possibility of
Vicarate, as proposed by France, upon the
Romagna. He guarantees full and absolute
liberty in voting.
A dispatch from Cavour to Ricasola, dated
Goth Of February, communicates the French
idea relating to the settlement Of the Central
Italy question. Cavour says the assurances
Of the French Government show that the
election Of Prince of the house of Savoy
would be opposed by France.
Whatever may be the result of the new
vote of Tuscany the King will accept be-
forehand. Ricasola, in dispatch to Cavour,
dated 4th March, denies that Tuscany aspires
without reflection to the union with Pied
mont. He says
EVERY thing confirms the opinion that
they were right in freeing themselves from
Austria"
PARIS, Saturday.-The C6nsdtutionnel has
a semi-official article against the adoption of
universal suffrage, as applied to the doctrine
of national sovereignty; false extension Of
the principle may become an incessant source
of trouble and danger to Europe, though an
extension is about to take place in Italy, in
opposition to the Imperial policy, and to the
cOunsels given by France.
The Paris correspondent Of the Times says
it is stated that the bulls of accommodation
against Victor Emmanuel are ready to be
launched the moment the appreciation of the
Central Italian States is decreed.

WAsHrNaToS March 24-The Post6fhce
Committees In the House this morning, after
a two days argument, resolved, with but one
dissenting voice, that the inland postal SER
vice of the country should be restored to its
condition on the 3D. Of March, 1859, and in
structed their chairman TO prepare and report
a bill for that purpose to a special meeting of
that committee tomorrow. r ..
From present indications the Pacific Rail-
road Committee ofthe House will probably
reconsider at the meeting on Monday, the
vote in favor Of one road. ..
The Cabinet had a protracted sitting to-
day, at which the capture of the Mexican
steamers and prisoners before Vera Cruz was
much discussed. -.t .. g..
The President will not probably reply at
once TO the Senate resolution calling for in
formation respecting the capture of the Mira
mon steamers, the instructions to our naval
officers in the gulf &c. Dispatches, with full
information as to the occurrences, are on their
way from New Orleans, and the PreJLe will
no doubt bring further authentic information.
The instructions which were few days
ago given TO Mr.. McLane, and through him
to our naval officers, will not be communi
Gated because they have not been acted upon,
but probably there were no instructions
which could bear upon the case of the cap
ture, because there had been no opportunity
to send out any for month past.
The captures were not made under any in-
structions for 1t could not have been antci-
pated. The Senators and Members, together
with General Forbes Britten, appeared before
the House Military Committee to-day, and
urged, with great vehemence, the appropria-
tion of million and quarter dollars for
the Texas mounted regiment. The committee
adjourned until tomorrow, when the subject
will be again reviewed, and some definite
action had.
The impression prevails that they will
decide adversely to it, inasmuch as the Presi-
dent and Secretary of War have neither of
them recommended il. t.....
General Pomeroy arrived here yesterday

New ORLEANS March 24-The schooner
Virginia Antoinette has arrived below with
Vera Cruz advices to the evening of the 18th
inst, one day later.
The military conference which was men
toned by the last arrival as having met,
amounted to nothing.
The bombardment was recommended by
Miramon on the morning of the 18th, with
redoubled energy, and the shot and shell
were taking effect in the city, killing several
much damage to property. Many of the shot
fell among the shipping under the Castle OF

great damage.

In the great breach ofpromise case, which
is now in progrvss in ST, Louis the counsel
for the plaintiff, in opening the case, made a
long speech, in the course Of which he laid
down these symptoms of courtship;j ii
ut Is appropriate to say in thiscOnhection,
lest an objection shotild be raised, which it Is
easy to foresee may be raised, that tho scores
OF little things, actions, expressions, looks
tones, accents, gifts, visits, which make up
the commerce Of love and conrtship, de-
pend for their cumulative character upon
the number and frequency of them, and on
the whole taken together Such sort Of
proof is not ike that Of logical chain Of
successive links in which the strength Of the
chain is not at all greater than that of its
weaker link. Nor is it like that Of a series of
facts in chain of circumstancial evidence,
each fact being absolutely essential to the
chain, and TO fastening conviction in the
mind of ajury--the absence of one being
fatal. But the kind of evidence Of which we
have been speaking finds its illustration in
the faggot of sticks, any one of which may
be broken. But taken together, and no force
of ingenuity can bead or break them. Any
one of the separate incidents of courtship
may carry very little meaning. A. gift of
flowers may be mere act of neighborly
courtesy or compliment. The presentation
ofa book may betoken nothing more than
gratihed friendship. A kiss, not amorous or
sensual, may be the index simply of a perfect
friendly understanding and confidence. Any
one of these, taken by itself may tell no par
tieular story. But visits running through
months, with innumerable evidences of ex-
elusive preference, all unite and concentrate
in one woman, they do tell a very particular
story, and, in their accumulated shape, are
satisfactory evidence of solicitation to
marry; and if the attentions are accepted and
enjoyed the contract is complete %

NEW SAFETY-LAMP FOR MINERs.-A new
safety-lamp for miners has been patented,
after several years work ON the invention,
by Messrs. Howden, of the Union Foundery,
Wakefield, England. 1t is in appearance and
construction like an ordinary Davy lamp,
but gives out light equal to almost five OF
Dayy's. 1t is so constructed that instead OF
the gauze becoming heated and liable to
ignite infiammable gas, it remains quite cool,
and actually consumes the noxious vapor.
Successive trials, with the Stephenson lamp,
in the most dangerous parts of the coal-pits in
the neighborhood of Wakefield, demonstrated
its superiority over the latter.
