New YORK, Nov. 1.-The steamer
Australasian with dates from Queens
town the twenty-tirst, has arrived.
The steamer Midway, connected with
the Atlantic Telegraph expedition, ar
rived at Queenstown from Nova SEQ
tia on the twentieth, with the loss OF
her propeller.
The Irish Bishop of Tream, Lord
Plankit. died OH the nineteenth of DC
tober.
The cotton crop of Egypt is said to
be very large.
The cattle plague has almost died out
in England.
The Paris correspondent of the Lon
dan Star says the greatest sympathy is
manifested for the Empress Carlotta.
1t would appear that her mental state
gave cause for alarm to her attendant
even before her arrival III France. Dur
ing her voyage from Vera Cruz, she APP
pearad plunged in the deepest melan-
eholy. and constantly SPOKE of the i'm
mense responsibility she had assurnod.
On arriving in Paris, although prepared
for the Emperor's refusal to alter the
periodihe had fixed upon for the evacu-
alton of Mexican territory by French
troops. she persisted in her desire to
have personal interview with Ma
poleon.
The result is known. Although the
Emperor received the wife of Maximil-
ian with all courtesy, he remained
absolutely firm. The Empress unfor-
tunately lost her head completely.
She so far forgot her self-possession as
| to give way to 4 most violent pGoXy-
| ism of excitement, and made use OF
language which not only startled, but
puzzled the Emperor. This painful
excitement is now easily to be account
ed for.
The first subject which appears to
have distracted the mind of the En-
press was the clause in her fathers will
in which he merely gave life use in
twenty-five millions he bequeathed to
her, although he gave her power to dis
pose of the principal by will. The En-
press applied to her brother, Leopold H.,
and the Count of Flanders, to annul
| ihis sIlsy}ssa and allow her to devote the
of the Mexican empire. Her brothers,
however, turned deaf ear to her solicit
tations, reminding her of the prodigal
generosity with which her husband had
spent his own private fortune, as well
as portion of hers, and positively re-
fused her request.
The Empress cannot forgive the act,
as she believes that the King and his
brother have been privately supported
in their decision by the Austrian I'm
perial family, she will not consent to
visit her family at Brussels or at vi
emma. Thence arose her despair.
The official act of retrocession of the
whole of Venetia was completed on the
evening of the 18th, and the Italian
National Flag was hoisted at Venice
amid great enthusiasm.
PRCssIA-The Semi-0 Official North Ger.
man Gazette of the 18th, says: Certain
journals have published statement
that the British ambassador in this city,
during a recent conversation with Herr
Won Thieie. the Prussian Under Secre.
tary of War, had either demanded that
the private fortune of King George OF
Hanover should be given up to him, OIL
protested against its sequestration by
the PrusSian Government.
With regard to this intelligence, we
are enabled to state that the British
Minister, on the occasion in question,
confines himself to asking what course
the PrussianI Government intended to
pursue in relation to the private fortune
Of King George, and that his remarks
by no means partook of the nature of a
demand. ~ "a -
