Our News Budget from Abr0ad-Electriclty
and Our special Penn and PenciIlinSs.


BY cable kilograms, special written CORE
spondence and newspaper reports from
Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia, we are
enabled to submit to our readers the ample,
most interesting and very important budget of
foreign news which appears in our columns
this morning. IL embraces reports of the
political, governmental and religious situa-
tons as they presented in Paris, London,
Vienna and Rome yesterday evening, and
states the position Of affairs existing at the
Antipodes, in Constantinople, and Egypt, and
India at the latest mail dates. The compila-
ton is exceedingly instructive, exhibiting, al
1t does, humanity in its struggles towards
general equalization without respect to
geographical divisions or artificial or govern
mental boundary lines, besides illustrating to
very considerable extent the impediments
OF rule and of creed and caste which impede
the consummatiOn.
Austria proclaims that peace has been
restored, or conquered" in Dalmatia, while
far away on tho shores of New Zealand we
find England sentencing several revolutionary
their ''hodies shall be beheaded and quar-
tered" for tho crime of loving their country
too we'll il not wisely, and daring to assert
that they were as well able TO judge Of the wants
and requirements of their brethren as are mill
tary officers Of Queen Victoria fresh from the
barracks Of Great Britain. Our special writer's
detail the progress of democracy in France
and its advance to q complete constitutional
assertion, the cable confirming their differences

chapter Of the liberal empire" opened by the
missive which he sends The Count de
Chambord seeks to draw close to Rome and
the Pobe-as we are told by mail.-yet the
ocean telegraph asserts that his Holt
ness attempts to concentrate religious
Imperialism in the chair Of Saint Peter
by maintaining that the assembled preates
Of the Catholic Church have mo voice
in the regulations Of the Council'-a decretal
assemblage, which is constituted, as we have
been hitherto told, only by their universal
presence in the Holy City. The remains Of
the late Mr.. Peabody were embarked on board
the war ship Monarch for conveyance to
America Just as the Lord Chief Justice Of
England had honorably discharged the mem
bers Of the late banking house of Overend &
Quincy from the dock after trial on charges
Of fraud arising from ''corners" which took
place during the latest great financial crisis in
England. We have horse racing in Cairo,
while Livingstone again speaks Of the head
waters and river coniuences of the Nile. The
pouring of English soldiers into Ireland is
noticed almost side by side with the text of
the speech delivered by the Emperor of Aus
Majesty appears TO abate bis pretensions to
military rule over the cosmopolitan populations
which are subject to his sway.
The gradual, yet certain, progress of the
work Of girdling the earth by the electric
telegraph, and thus interlacing the hearts of
the peoples by an intimate and let us hope,
friendly communion, is noticed in our pages
from various sources and different points of
opposition, 30 that we may confidently rejoice
that, having been forced to speak of public
misery, crime diplomacy, and may be tyranny
politics, law, revolts and executions, we cam
ON the very same day, chronicle the successful
spread of the mission Of the scientific evangek
ism which is destined to redress them by the
refinement both Of governments and churches
