at once, for the city gates were about being
closed, and the gunners ON the walls were
laying their pieces to cover the inundations
and the causeways. One more glance showed
very hell of 6re-corn fields, highways,
slopes and dells and hillsedes covered with the
slain-the PRIDE and might of Austria shat
tered and laid low. What happened more l
can only tell from hearsay. But am told
that ut the last the Austrian horse saved all
that was no, lost, and in brilliant charges
rolled back the tide of Prussian infantry
that the gunners threw their pieces into the
Elbe and into the inundated fields as they re-
treated; that men were drowned in hundreds
as they crowded over pontoon bridges hastily
laid, and sunk or burnt ere the columns
could cross over that luggage trains, reserve
ammunition, guns and prisoners, the spoils
of that enormous host, fell into the hands OF
the vlctors, who remained masters of that
hard fought field, covered for nine miles with
myriads of the slain. Well might Benedek
ex claim All is lost but my life Would

The ENGLISH RoYAL FAMILY.-We believe
that Queen Victoria is good woman and a
model Queen, and that the English people gen.
era.ly are satisfied with royalty and do not com
plain of the expenses connected with It. But
we think that if they were accustomed to look
at the royal family in one aspect, they would
not be so well satisfied. We refer to the fact
| that that family is not English, but German.
George |. and George H., father and son, were
both born in Germany, the only bond OF con
nection between them and England being that
| grandmother of he former was daughter of
James l., King of England. George Ill. was
a grandson of the second George. He was
born ia England, but his father and mother
we're both born in Germany. George lV. aud
William w., sons of George Ill, were born IN
| England. but then mother was German.
| Queen Victoria, the granddaughter of George
| Ill, was born in England, but her mother also
was German. The account therefore stands
thus: George l. and George ii. were natives
of Germany. George I'LL, although himself
| born in England, was descended from long
! line of native Germans. Ot the immediate iine
| of ancestors through whom George Nv. and
William ". received the crown, nine were
| Germans and only one, their father, was born
| in England And of the line OF ancestors OF
Queen Victoria, ten were born in Germany, and
only t,r0, ner father and grandfather, were born
| in Eugland. Victoria continued the family
custom by marrying German. Her son, the
Prince of Wales, has broken in upon this GUS
ton by marrying Dane, but it is still for
eigner who is to be the mother of English rulers

BLACK RAIN IN SCoTLAsD.-A heavy tall
OF black rain took place last month ner Aber-
deeu. Scotland. The Aberdeen Journal says ::

shower from a snowy cloud, have been at last
recognised IN England. Between the be-
gining of January, 1862, and the middle OF
Jauuary, 1866, there have been no fewer than
eight authen tic tied black showers IN Scotland.
| seven of these tell in Slams and the exten-
sive surrounding district. Two of them wers
accom- panied with pumice stones, some OF the
balls OF which measured eight to ten inches
In diameter, and weighed upward of pou I'D
aYolrdupois. The first four, including the
Carluke shower, and the eighth, were contem-
poraneous with outbursts of Vesuvius, and
the intermediate three with those OF Esna.
| But now through the instrumentality of Rev.
