French TO NEEDLE with affairs whose direc

found among the extracts from the Diary OF
NJ. d'Idevillc, who was the French Charge
d'Anaircs at Turin, when Cavour was Min,
lister, which he has been publishing in tn.
JouynnL tic Paris. Onc Of these extracts
contains an amusing recount of an inter.
view which took place between Cayour and
Prince La Tour d'Auvergne, the French
Ambassador, in 1850 The Prince had in.
structions to read TO Cavour q dispatch from
Count Walewski, in which the Italian GOV.
eminent was plainly threatened with the
displcasure of the Cabinet Of the Tuileries,
in casc IL should continue to encourage the
aunexationists in the Duchies and Central
Italy. The dispatch stated that any ATTEMPT
to annex those territories would be regar-
dcd as n breach of treaties, and if the King,
disregarding the warni2gs of the Imperial
Cabinet, should place his throne in danger
by such an adventurous policy, he would
be left to his fate.
Cavour listened atteniiyely to the reading
of the dispatch, leaning his head on his
hands and saying not a word. When the
Prince had finished, AMI added a few com
plimentary remarks of his own, CavOur, re-

CHINESE AEITHMETIC.-h correspondent.
of the London Athenaeum says the Chinese
have a most Ingenious method of reckoning
by the aid OF the fingers; performing all the
operations of addition, subtraction, multi
plicatiOn and division, with numbers from
one up to a hundred thousand. Every fin
ger of the LETT hand represents nine figures, as
follows: The little finger represents units,
the ring finger tens; the middle finger hun
dreds: the fore finger thousands; the thumb
tens of thousands. When the three joints
of each finger are touched from the palm
toward the tip, they count enc, two, and
three of each of the denominations rs abOve
named. Four, five and six are counted on
the back of the finger joints in the same
way ; seven, eight and nine are counted on
the right side of the joints from the palm
to the tip. The fore finger OF the right
hand is used as a pointer. Thus, l2ji
would be indicated by first touching the
Joint OF the fore finger mex the hand on
the inside neXt the middle joint of the
middle finger on the inside {; next, the end
joint Of the ring finger on the inside,
and finally. the Joint OF the little finger next
the hand on the outside. Tho reader will
be able to make further examples for him.
self. The writer alluded to asserts that the
correctness of Chinese computation thus
performed is p%royerbial.
