The Ira de of Italy.

From the report just printed We discover
that the foreign commerce of the Kingdom
Of Italy has fallen off the past year. $780,.
100000 francs. The precise figures are
these: diminution Of 147, 100000 francs
in the value of expectations, aud an aug
mentation of 100000 francs In importa-
tions. In making up balances of the past
year, Italy finds herself in the same condi-
tlon as England. But, in spite of present
monetary encouragement, perhaps the fu-
fure Of Italy is quite as hopeful as that of
the other country, as concerns an enlarge
ment of transactions of trade with the
foreign world. England has, by the appli-
cation of the principle of free trade,
strained her absorbing and supplying
powers to the utmost limits, and it does
not seem possible, or least easy, to carry it
much further; while this country is but Just
beginning the activities of trade and in
dustrial development. What influence the
commercial treaties with other countries
soon to expire and to be renewed with
notifications with mild favor of protec-
tion-are to have upon the foreign trade of
the future, we must wait to see. The spirit
of commerce has never died out among the
Italian people, and we have had proof how,
under tavOring circumstances, it may re-
vive, by the rapid increase in the past few
years of the registered tonnage of the
kingdom.

Breaks in the Levees.

There are two breaks in Ascension levees.
one on the left bank of the river, opposi g
Donaldsonville. and the other on the right
bank, at the LacrOix place, three miles
below town.
The first named break. which is about
sixty feet in width, will be at once repaired
by the Levee Company. A substantial
embankment, faced with a doub BILE thickness
OF eOund lumber. will be thrown up; and as
the work is to be under the supervision of
Mr. NJ. w. Dalton, an accomplished and
conscientious engineer, the parties inter
ested may feel confident that it will be well
done. Mr. Darton arrived here today, and
has already started small force Of men at
work. Fifty or sixty laborers will reach
here tomorrow from the Carroll levee, IN
the parish of st. John the Baptist, and on
Monday the job will be begun in good earn
est and pushed rapidly forward to compile
ton.
The second break is forty feet wide, and
occurred but few days since. We men
toned the circumstance to General NJ.
JEFF Thompson, chief State engineer, yes
terday, and he assured us that provision
had been made for closing the gap, but
upon inquiry. since returning from New
Orleans, we find that the General is mis-
taken. Messrs. j. Lemann, Henry Loeb,
Feitel & Co., Messrs. Marx, Israel & Co.
and other parties owning property contigu-
GUS to the broken levee have subscribed q
sufficient amount to repair tie break, and
this will be speedily ydone.-Donaldsonrill

Bloody Cadd0.

We copy the following item from the last
number Of the Shreveport SouMwester,.-
Telegram:
We are informed that one day last week
a colOred man was killed on tie plantation
Of DR.. Frank Jones, just below Cotton
Point, in Red River parish. The particulars
as related to us are as follows: Two cOlored
men got into dispute, which lasted for
some time, both of them getting very much
excited. 1t was at last agreed, however, to
refer the matter to Mr.. James Jones, son of
Dr. Frank Jones. and the parties repaired
to his store. Mr.. Jones was not able to
settle the case. and the quarrel was renewed
with increased fury, W whereupon he ordered
the parties to get out of his house. To this
order they paid no attention, but continued
their boisterous wrangling. On repeating
bis order to leave the house several times,
which was not obeyed, he took his gun and
told them he would shoot if they did not
get out, and as they did not 60 he fred and
killed one of them. Jones subsequently,
reported himself to justice of the peace
we believe.
We learn that Dud Allen, the colored
man who was shot in the midnight melee at
Hog Thief Point week or two ago, has
since died. 1t seems that the parties who
were the instigators Of this deed have
evaded arrest up to this time, and some say
they have left the country. We believe it
is the intention of District Attorney Wise
to bring the case to the attention Of Gov
ernor Kellogg, 80 that proper reward may
be offered for their arrest

We have received from Hon. j. Williams
Thorne, who was expelled from the House
OF Representatives. of North Carolina for
heresy, pamphlet containing the charges
and action of the House, and also the
defense Of Mr.. Thorne. The charges against
him were based on a pamphlet published,
and described as "a most blasphemous
document, subversive of the principles of
the constitution of North Carolina and of
sound morality" which are one and the
same thing. The expulsion of Mr.. Thorne
does not appear to have been party
measure, as Republicans as we'll as Dem
ocrats voted against him. By his writing
Mr.. Thorne appears to be man of some
ability, and was capable of writing tolerable
poetry, a specimen of which appears in the

How Alfonso was Thrashed by Some
American Boys.
A writer in Applctons journal says, in
speaking OF Alfonso:
The young King is not a bad looking fell
low, but he looks too much like his precious
mother to give one confidence in the strict
rectitnde of his conduct. l wonder if, in
his diplomatic transaction with the United
States. he will ever recall a rencontre with
sundry juvenile citizens of that country
which marked the commencement of his
career as a royal exile. Shortly after his
lady mother was sent flying she brought
her sweet self and all the royal train to
Geneva. She placed the present King at a
certain we'll known boarding school in the
city. This school was largely patrOnizud
by Americans, and on the day of Don
AlfOnso's arrival, sundry sturdy young re-
publicans, seeing q sullen boy, lonely and
disconsOlate, were minded to be kind to
him. So one of them stepped up to the
moping boy, gave him friendly slap on
the shoulder and cried, ."Hilloa, Spain,
come and play with us" Whereupen the
yonDg gentleman drew himself up and in
formed his schoOlmates that he vas q
prince-that he was not to be called "Spain,
but Your Royal Highness;" that he was not
to be touched by plebeian hands, and that
be never associated with persons who were
not of roy al or at least noble blood. "We'll
prince your quoth the boy. So they treated
the exile heir to a good thrashing by way of
teaching him good manners, and his mother
forthwith took him away from school!

VOLUME .VIII---NO. 29O.
The Pardon of Mrs. jacobs.

The Picayune was incorrect in stating
that MRS. Jacobs was pardoned on Mon
day and it is thought her husband will be
pardoned in a few days" Governor Kel-
lOgg signed the pardon of Mrs. Jacobs yes
terday Tuesday, without giving the slight
est reason for any one to think that the
pardon of her husband would follow in a
few days.
1t will be remembered that these parties
were arrested some three years ago on the
charge of setting fire to their store and
place of residence in this city. They we're
indicted for the crime of arson in the First
District Court for the parish of Orleans.
and on application made through counsel
for change of venue, had their trial trans
ferred to the Second judicial District
Court, Judge Pardee presiding. They were
tried and convicted of the crime of arson
and sentenced to the Penitentiary for life
The friends of Mrs. Jacobs interceded in
her behalf and she was detained in the
Parish Prison whlle her husband was sent
to the Penitentiary. A petition, signed by
number of our most prominent citizens,
We understand. was presented to Governor
Kellogg asking him to pardon Mrs. Jacobs.
The following letter from Judge Pardee
and concurred in by the late district attor-
ney, was also received on behalf of Mrs.
Jacobs:
To his Excellency ". P. Kellogg:
GovERNoR-I respectfully recommend
the pardon Of Mrs. Mary Jacobs, lately
ron iOfoN hafOro tho SaoOnH .Tudicio1 nio.
trict Court of the crime of arson, for the
following reasons:
First-She was tried and convicted as
principal, with her husband as accessory
before the fact. There is no doubt that she
acted under instruction from her husband.
I am personally not satisfied that her hus-
band was not personally present, and that
abOuts on the night OF the fire was not
shown. He is q brutal, stupid, overbearing
man. Mrs. Jacobs is frail woman, with
an appearance to me OF having been cowed,
If not abused.
Second-Being found guilty without cap.
ital punishment by the jury the law fixed
the punishment at imprisonment At hard
cretioh az to punishment. There we're no
legal grounds for q new trial. If had
possessed any discretion under the law l
would have inflicted milder sentence
Third-Mrs. Jacobs has a young child Of
say three or four years. For its sake re.
commend a pardon for the mother.
As to Christian Jacobs 1 know of no
mitigating or other circumstances that
ought to lessen his sentence.
Very respectfully, yoar obedient servant,
DON A. PARDEE,
Judge Second Judicial District Court of
Louisiana.
l concur in the recommendations of Jndge |
Pardee, and respectfully urge your excel |
lency to pardon Mrs Jacobs.

A Death Warrant.

Governor Kellogg yesterday signed the
death warrant of Isham Brown, fixing the
sixteenth day Of April next as that on
which he is to be hung. Brown was tried
and convicted of the murder of James w.
Clinton. in the parish of St. Helena, on the
eighteenth of December last. and sentenced
to be hung. Justice can not be accused of
being tardy in this instance. In little less
than four months from the time when
Brown committed the heinous 0ffense of
which he has been convicted, he will paw
the penalty of his crime.
