    France. Serious Disorders Have Broken Ca...

    FRANCE . Serious disorders have broken cat at the town of Bourg S- Andeol , in the department of Ardeche . The procureur of the republic proceeded , at the head of eighty gensaanne 3 to execute a warrant of Ihejuge _cfinstruction at Lyons for the arrest of the depaty-mayor of Saint Andeol , bus was met by discharges ot arms from behind barricades . The officer at the head of the gensdarmes was wounded ih the jaw . The commissary of police drew his sword and hilled one of the insurgents . The mob havine been dispersed , ibe deputy-mayor was seized and led awav to Montelimart , where he was

    imprisoned . The Prefect of the Ardeche proceeued to the spot and effected other arrests without resistance : 300 stand of a rms , belonging partly to the insurgents , and partly to the dissolved National Guard of the place , together with seventeen prisoners _, left for Privas , the chef-lieu of the Ardeche , accompanied bv an imposing escort . Though the aneate was soon suppressed , it appears pretty certain tbat it was intended as the commencement of _g series of insurrections in that and the nei g hbouring departments . Six barricades erected in a town which does not count 5 , 000 inhabitants , of whom 200 or 300 were insurgents , was not a bad example to larger localities .

    I t is stated tbat AHais _, the police agent , who gave information of the pretended conspiracy to assassinate M . Dupin and General _Changarnif-r , bas all bnt admitted that the whole _wss a mystification ; and he i $ to be prosecuted . It appears that be was connected with the socialists in Rouen , and took part in the rising of 1848 . He tben transferred his services as a spy to the Central Commissary of Police in that city , and vre presume a * , a reward was promoted to his position in thc _LfghlntWe Chamber .

    The trial of M . Nf _fizer , responsible editor of the 'Presse , 'for tbe publication of the mock message inser ted in tbat newspaper , bas come off before tbe Court of Assizes of the Seine . The offence charged in the indictment was publication with bad faith of false news , and of a forged document falsely attributed to a third person , which news and document were of a nature to disturb the public peace . The demand of M . Ntffzer to be assisted by M . Emile Girardin as counsel was not complied with

    by ihe court . The _advocate-general , RL Sain , in addressing the jury for the prosecution , dwelt upon the danger of allowing similar forgeries to pass unpunished . Perhaps a more audacious figment bad never issued from the press than this patchwork composed of passages extracted here and there from pamphlets , some of which had been published eig hteen years ago , by M . Louis Napoleon Bonaparte , and presented to the public as a most solemn and authentic official document , concerning which tbe public curiosity was at that moment highly

    _exc-iu . Si . Nefizer , who read his defence , reminded the court that the' Pays , ' a journal of the Elysee , had printed last October , under the head of Erratum ' in the ' Moniteur , ' a violent diatribe against M . Dupin , which was put into the month of the President and addressed to the ablegate of the holy see . Tet Ihe Pays' had not been prosecuted for falsely attributing to the President what he had never said . M . Nefizer proceeded to argua that the document complained of was neither forged , nor sucb as could deceive any person ef the least

    discernment ; and if punishment were to be awarded for the commotion produced by such news in the departments , and the perturbation occasioned to commerce , what document bad produced a greater shock tbronghontFrance thanthePresident ' smessage of the 31 st of October . After the president of the conrt bad summed up , tbe jury , after deliberating twenty minutes , returned a verdict affirmative upon the two counts of the indictment without attenuating circumstances . Tbe court tben sentenced M . Nefizer to one year of imprisonment , 2 , 000 fr . fine , and ordered the destruction of all the numbers

    seized . M . Nefizer has appealed against the sentence ef the Conrt of Assizes of the Seine . The director of the * Conrrier Frangais' was fined l _, 500 f ., and the 'Moniteur du Soir' 500 f ., by tbe Police Court of Paris on Satnrday for a violation of the new law requiring that all political articles shall be signed by their anthor . The severity of the sentence pronounced against M . Conrtois , editor of the ¦ Corsaire , ' for an article venting some sarcasms against the President , in consequence of the military banquets , is worthy of the worst times of prosecution against the press . The greater part of the offensive composition , for which

    M . Courtois has been condemned to one year s imprisonment , consists of a string nf harmless jokes upon the gastronomic appeal made to the soldiers to excite their zeal in the imperialist cause . In one passage only the writer seems to have exceeded the limits of reasonable satire . He sajs , in reference to the sword of _Sobieshi , which the Poles presented to Napoleon : — "By a freak of fortune , the sabre of Sobieski fell into tbe bands of a nephew of the great man . O profanation 1 tbe scamp sold it for some crowns , and now behold tbis noble blade turned into truffles and champagne ! The hilt , enriched with jewels , has , perhaps , been dropped behind tbe scenes of the opera . '

    Nl . Dmongerais , in bis defence , proved satisfactorily tbat this passage was not applicable to Louis Napoleon , but to his cousin , Napoleon Jerome , who had been attacked in previous numbers of the ' Corsaire , 'for having sold the sacred relic , bequeathed by tbe Emperor to his brother Jerome , to the Museum of Artillery for £ 480 . The rigour used in _dealing with the press is visible in another occurrence . M . Sougere _, responsible editor of tbe "Siecle , ' having been recently condemned to three months' imprisonment , was sent for to the conrt , and on his appearance was arrested , in defiance of the usage which _allows journalists under such circumstances to put their affairs in order . It is stated , in certain political circles in Paris , that as soon as Germany shall be re-organised with her regular Diet , and her Federal Army , the Diet

    ¦ will ad-dress tbe Grand Council of Switzerland with a protocol reminding it of the guarantees of 1815 , and demanding their complete execution . Itis added that Russia , Austria , and Prussia will adhere to that protocol , which will be left open to France as the Power not the least interested on account of her geographical position . Should _Switzerland answer by a refusal , France will be asked if she is disposed to co-operate in the occupation of Geneva and Lausanne with thc allies occupying the other cantons . Shonld France decline , the army of the German Federation will occupy Switzerland by Zurich , and the Austrians by the canton of Tessin , with the object of freeing that country from the demagogues ' who incessantly menace the tranquillity of the governments and of tbe people . ' Sueh is the policy wbich , in the political circles _referred to , is considered likely to be acted upon by the Powers in the course of next

    spring . Saturday ' s debate in the Assembl y presented the painful spectacle of a question of humanity being treated as a question of party . It is possible ( says the correspondent of the * Daily News' ) that the Statements of the Mountain with regard to the starvation and ill-treatment of the prisoners in Belleisle and Mont St . Michael may be over-coloured and grounded npon accidental exceptions ; but of this there can be no doubt , that political prisoners are in France subjected to a much more rigorous treatment than common felons . To this fact a minute personal inspection of the prisons of Paris _enables me to bear the most positive testimonv . Let any impartial

    witness compare tbe treatment of the common felons in St . Pelagie with the lot of the political offenders in the _cillular prison of the Rue Mazas . At the former a housebreaker may open and shut his window as he wauls air or warmth , may talk to his fellow prisoners , obtain what meat or wine he pleases for his money , and con-verse without hindrance with visitors , whereas the occupant of the prison of Mazas , whose error , however deplorable for society , has been at tended with no moral degradation , is obliged to breathe a foetid air which is conducted by a detestable contrivance of ventilation through the breathing holes of his cell ; bis window may give him light , but no air ; his _daor may not be opened without a special permission ; he must not converse with bis

    fellow-prisoners , nor address the guardian for a want . above his breath ; he can procure no food hut the prison diet , wbich * 3 a watery . mash of potatoes or pulse , day about , with meat once a week . The very Circumstance of the bell-handles having been _exchanged for rope 3 , in consequence of the number of prisoners who committed suicide by hanging themselves on tbe former , whereas the latter cannot be used without alarming the guardians , is an appalling indication of the amount of torture inflicted on tbe prisoner by the intense rigour of the coercion applied in all ways with _unrelated gripe . It MS proved On ' Saturday that the most emphatic pictures which can be drawn of human tortare may be received in a Legislative Assembly with shouts of laughter . It mitten little whether snch a mode ef _receiving seri-

    ous statements be traceable to callous inhumanity or shallow incredulity . The effect remains the same . The political p risoners of Belleisle and Mazas must continue to hang themselves in their cells , and to address petitions to the Minister to exchange their lot for that of the bagnio , because their treatment is made a party question , and erery consideration of ustice and humanity must be sacrificed to the parliamentary object of inflicting a signal defeat on the Mountain . Instead of a committee of inquiry being appointed the house passes by an immense majority to the pure aud _Bimple order of the day . M . Charles _Lesseps was arrested on Tuesday morning , on tbe charge . of complicity with the authors of the Lyons plot .

    In the discussion in bureaux on the appointment ofa Committee to examine ths bill to meet the expense of the 40 , 000 additional troops , all tbe leaders of the Moderate party gave it as their decided opinion that the committee sbould formally express its approbation of the pacific feelings put forth in the President ' s Message , and its expectation that France should maintain the strictest neutrality in the affairs of Germany . The members chosen belong to the majority , and nearly all to the Orleanist party . M . Baroche has stated to the committee on the Assembly ' s commissary of police , that the government cannot admit the right of tbe bureau of the Assembly to exclusive competence in the dismissal of that functionary . Hence the conflict between the legislative and executive on tbis point is re-opened , and a strong debate is expected on the motion of the questors .

    PRUSSIA . The Chambers were opened by the King in person on the 21 st . In his speech he attributed the last attempt at hia assassination to the excitement caused by the revolutionary press . With respect to the menaced war , he said : — ' My intention of procuring for the German nation a constitution corresponding to its necessities , remains as yet unrealised . I have held fast tbe idea which has laid at tbe root of all my hitherto endeavours in hope of the future : I can resume the work of effectuating

    my designs only when the future _configuration of the Germanic confederation has been settled . I hope that the negotiations now in progress for that purpose will attain to a prosperous result . I hope that our rising ( erhebttng ) is contributing satisfactorily for the protection of our rights , * if this be attained tbat movement will be without danger to the peace of Europe , for my people is not less wise than powerful . We do not seek war : we wish to abridge no man ' s rights , but we desire a constitution of the collective fatherland becoming the position of Prussia . '

    As this seemed to point to a warlike policy , it was received with great satisfaction . But William Frederick is not famous for keeping his word . . He is essentially a Jesuit . Tbe lapse of twenty-four hours considerably abated the enthusiasm with which the whole of the deputies received the speech from the throne . The phrases , it is discovered , do not positively pledge the government to war , though they have a warlike sound , and therefore the organ of the party of M . Yincke thus condemns it : —

    ' The hope of the representatives of the people is disappointed . The speech gives no plainer indications as to the question which all Prussia has most at heart than had been before given by the Ministerial organs . The ambiguity of the expressions the Ministers have placed in the mouth of the King has been so far from removing the apprehensions and suspicions which the Cabinet ' s love of negotiation bad created in tbe minds of a people armed for war , tbey are made more alarming by the solemnity of the occasion . . . The first half of the speech gives us occasion to admire the reliance of the Ministry on the fitness of measures which with rare unanimity were condemned by all parties . With untnistakeable firmness they praise the celebrated press decree , justified in the fpeech by the same arguments used when it was published to give it a more formidable character . '

    This refers to the allusion in the speech to _Sefeloge _' _s attempt to shoot the King . The occasion was seized to issue some needlessly severe laws against the press ; but the allusion to the attempt in tbe speech is still worse , as it is known tbat the criminal is really a maniac and bas been insane from his youth : it is also known that he was edu . cated in a military school , in an atmosphere of loyalty and devotion to the King ; that he had not quilled ihe army , and that what associates he had were rather of the ultra-Royalist party than among the revolutionists and democrats , who are openly

    accused of being his misleaders . It is curious tbat of the two attempts on tbe King ' s life one should have been made by an official , and the other by a soldier—the two privileged classes of the people ; both were denied special favours to which they thought themselves entitled , and brooded over the fancied wrong ; but there was no suspicion of politics having _anything to do with either case ; and the introduction of the allusion to regicide and its causes into the speech is felt to be a mistake , since no one connects the press with the attempt at all .

    Tbe reports of so many kinds which are met with in the Berlin journals are not calculated to calm the public mind . Austria has not accepted any oi the Prussian propositions , which seem to have been offered rather to save appearances than to give satisfaction to the Prussian policy and people . The free conferences , which seem to be all that Prussia can obtain , lose their character in the circumstances under wbich it is proposed to hold them . Tbey are to be held in the capital of Austria , and their result is to be communicated to the Diet at Frank _, fort for confirmation . This is what the last note of

    the Vienna cabinet requires , and its concession would be the recognition of tbe Diet before the conferences open . Before these conferences commence Prussia is publicly to dissolve tbe union . Prussia has hoped to be able to divide the odium of tbis abandonment with its associates ; but tbe members of the union have refused to lend themselves to this manoeuvre , and Prussia must bow her head . The democratic party prophesied long ago all that we how see . They declared that aU was a comedy to amuse and deceive the people . They divined justly in this matter .

    The last mail from Berlin brings a number of the ¦ New Preussische Zeitung , ' in whicb we read : 1 We shall not have mobilised the army in vain , for we shall before lone ; free Neufcbatel from the yoke of the stranger . ' This journal is the organ of the Russian party at Berlin . The armaments of Prussia are thus desired to be turned against Switzerland . It is doubtful if this will take place , for tbat would be another fault , another crime , for it would tend to embroil still further the affairs of Europe , and the further this embroilment proceeds the more certainly will a revolution break out , which might make a tabula rasa o all continental dynasties .

    The Emperor of Russia has reiterated his demand for the immediate intervention in Schleswig Holstein , and threatened Prussia with his army if she opposes it . The czar would not object , however , to the pacification being accomplished by Prussia . The free conferences appear to be decided on , with a dual executive organ for Germany of great power . The military movement throughout Prussia is described as almost unexampled in the annals of any nation . From one end to the other the country is one vast camp ; and from the lowest peasant to tbe man of highest rank , —mechanics , physicians , lawyers , students , bankers , merchants , and nobles , — all appear under arms , all appear breathing the

    same martial spirit , and desirous of war . So convinced are people of the ] certainty of a popular movement throughout the length and breadth of the Prussian land , that tbe German refugees who bad been residing in Switzerland have crossed the frontier and entered the Prussian territory , in order to be ready for any emergency—for foreign or civil war—that may arise from the agitated condition of the kingdom . It is considered by those who are acquainted with the present feeling of the people and the army that , should Prussia escape a war with Austria , nothing short of a miracle can save the King from his own people ; and , whether he attempts to stem the current , or goes with it , his fate will be that of the unfortunate Charles Albert—

    -abdication and exile , if nothing worse . A telegraphic despatch from the British government in anticipation of the arrival of Lord Westmorland has been sent to Berlin . In tbis despatch England insists on . Prussia keep _, ing the peace with Austria . Great Britain allows the etappe roads , but she insists on the pacification of Holstein being left to the four great Powers . A Russian corps of observation is concentrated in Poland , close to the Prussian frontier . The minor powers are exceedingly irritated at the abandonment of the Uiion by Primia . The . courts of ' . kw ; in Hesse CmmI _; have been forcibly dissolved by the Federal Commission . Several encounters have takes place at Frankfort between the _Pimiian and Federal _troopj . The re-

    presentatives of Luxemburg and Limbing have been withdrawn from the Frankfort Diet , wbich is consequently no longer in number to deliberate . A Russian corps d ' armee is concentrated in Poland , on the Prussian frontier . The news on the 25 th were , that despatches from St . Petersburgh had been received at Berlin , and a Cabinet Council had been held in consequence . Russia suppor ts the Austrian claims . Strengthened by this support , the Cabinet of Vienna presses for an immediate decision on its demands respecting Holstein and He * se . Several measures are being taken against the opposition papers . The ' Constitutionnelle Zeitung ' has been confiscated , audits editor banished from Berlin .

    The Austrian and Russian despatches have been officially communicated to tbe Address Commission of the . Lower House . They made a powerful im _« pression on the members . AUSTRIA . The rumoured escape of Kossuth causes the government great tribulation . Should he arrive in Hungary it will be difficult for the Imperialists to hold the country with so few troops in it . The agitation in the Lonibardo-Venetian provinces seem to increase rather than diminish , and it is so notorious tbat the spirit of disaffection is kept alive by the priesthood that the Civil Governor of Venice has been induced to issue a circular , in wbich

    the spiritual advisers of the people are reproached in no measured terms for making and meddling in politics . The inhabitants of Milan and Venice imitate the example of the Hungarians , and the coins minted during the revolution are mounted and worn as bracelets . A few days since a descent was made by the police on the jewellers' shops , and all the bracelets of the above-mentioned description seized . A commission has been formed by government to take into consideration the present sad condition of Venice . Its members propose that the whole of Venice should become a free port as in former times , or tbat Trieste and _Fiums should be reduced to simple entrepots . Government will certainly * not listen to the latter proposal .

    A terrible panic prevailed on the Vienna Exchange on the 22 nd . Gold rose to thirty-nine , and silver to thiriy-two per cent , premium . . A fall of from two to three per cent , was observable in the value of Austrian paper on the Frankfort Exchange .

    HESSE CASSEL . November 24 . —In Hanau the Elector ' s counsellors are quarrelling bitterly among themselves . Many of them have demanded leave of absence , which the prince has not in any case granted . On one of these occasions a scene _tor-k place between the Elector and Hassenpflug . The Elector , in answer to his demand for leave , cried our , You have deprived me of my army , and now you would deprive me of my council . The' Frankfort Journal' of November 24 ih says that on the previous day tbe taunting words that are continually passing between the troops assumed a very threatening aspect . The Prussians , who were _encouraged b y the enthusiasm of the people , were with difficulty held back from coming to open battle with the Bavarians and Austrians .

    On the 23 rd ( says the same journal ) a part of the long expected reserve ot the 32 ud Regiment ol infantry arrived at Cassel . The troops marched , with their bands playing national Prussian airs , through the illuminated streets . Un the 24 th the other part of the reserve entered the city , which makes the actual garrison to amount to 2 , 000 men .

    ITALY . ROME . —The' Giornale di Roma , ' of the 15 th , has a leader on the present agitation in England . It tells its readers tbat tbe government has not given ear to the ' furious tempest' raised by tbe papers against the Papal brief which restores the Catholic hierarchy in England ; that it has remained calm in the midst of meetings , circulars , and addresses , and that it will not yield to petitions and questions in parliament . It asserts that tbe law of the land ha * been respected , and denies the assertion of the Bishop of London , that the brief is a _negation of tbe spiritual power of the Queen . * The English Catholic _subjects , ' it adds , ' have never acknowledged tbat power , and tbose wbo daily embrace

    Catholicism deny it formally . And yet these subjects who are now depicted as rebels , are , on tbe contrary , excellent citizens in the eyes of the government itself . If it be so , and if the English Catholics are to enjoy the same rights as their countrymen , it is clear that the brief has not attacked the spiritual authority of the chief of tbe State , since the Catholics do not acknowledge it . ' It further contends that the new territorial division established by the brief , is not contrary to the Emancipation Act , and that the Catholics are protected by that act , wbile Methodists and other Dissenters ate merely tolerated . It concludes with a hope that parliament will take no serious notice of the matter , and look upon it as an affair of etiquette .

    NAPLES . —In this country the usual tyranny and injustice prevails . The state trials have been resumed , and though two of the accused were ill and unable to attend , it was resolved to proceed in their absence . The judges declared that as the law gave only six months to bear a case , and as that period was nearly expired in the present instance , it was declared necessary to go on with the trial without having recourse to the alternative which the law provides , of beginning again the cause . The prisoners finding no hope of justice , prayed the court to extend the period of six months , as it was argued very eloquently by one of the prisoners , Piroute tbat the court had occupied five

    months and a half in the accusation , and now it was sought to restrict the defence of forty men within a period of a few days only , and tbat , too , when two of the accused were ' non . ' This request was answered by a reply from tbe bench , that they should consult tbeir own convenience , and prolong the period allowed by law , if necessary . The lawyers who represented the accused who were absent were compelled to answer for their clients pendente lite . Both prisoners and lawyers protested in vain against Ihe whole proceeding , when the trials were continued by calling a priest wbo was proved to have been sent into the prisons as a spy to gather opinions of political effenders . After having reported and denounced a number of persons , this priest applied to the King for his

    reward . The ex-minister , Baron Poerio , rose and presented the court with a , copy of the petition to the King , which asked his Majesty for a chapel ! The production of this and other Bimilar documents produced an immense sensation in the court . It is one of the many proofs of tbe dishonest means employed by the government to incriminate the prisoners , and in this instance , coupled with the audacious act of asking the King to reward a scoundrelism horrible to contemplate , especially in a priest of tbe church . His * Excellency the Hon . W . Temple , and many other foreigners , were present ,. and witnessed this degradation both of the government and police . On the following day the King , hearing of the scandalous proceedings , ordered that three months mote should be allowed the prisoners for their defence .

    . . . SPAIN . As a specimen of the state of this country -we g ive the following : — * The diligence from Madrid to Seville , which arrived at Ecija on the 7 th , had been detained and robbed , at two a . m ., at the Cerro de . Perea , about two leagues from Ecija . Two civil guards accompanied the diligence , an infantry soldier going with the mayoral , and a calvalry soldier riding behind the diligence . The latter was surprised and seized by three robbers on horseback , while their companions ( four iu number , and also mounted , ) rode on and stopped the diligence . The infantry soldier of the civil guard made a brave resistance ; placing

    himself behind the mules , he fired three times at the robbers ; but at last , being surrounded by them , he fell , mortally wounded by two balls discharged at him point blank . The robbers stri pped the cavalry soldier , and took away his howe ; and then led the diligence off the road into an olive plantation , where tbey made the passengers He down in the usual manner , and took away tiieir money _, jewels , and other valuables , to the amount altogether of about 30 , 000 realB—occupy ing three hours in the process ; ihey then made off , and the diligence , having been got out with difficulty proceeded on its ' way , with the wounded civil guard , who expired shortly afterwards . '

    UNITED STATES . The Canada , Captain Harrison , arrived at Liver _, pool on Sunday , with dates from Boston to the ISA , and HaU ? akl 5 lh inst .

The wind was very " * ,

    dry grass on hiKh at the time , and the flames spread with such rapidity that a great many of the fences , outstanding crops , and some buildings , for miles around , were enveloped in one sheet of fire . The _MnM _' _flrt previous to the conflagration , were discovered n tne act of setting fire to the prairie in a number of different places . The Oraahas inhabit a portion of the Missouri territory , some sixty miles above _^ lfort Leavenworth . Tbey are described ajoneoltbe most dangerous and treacherous of the Indian tribes , and will be likely to cause the pioneer farmers of the backwoods a good deal of trouble .

    The other day a couple of « slave-catchers arrived at Chicago , in pursuit of two female fugitives , who had , however , left a few hours in advance . The men pursued their journey to Detroit , where they expec ted to meet their victims , but the telegraph was immediately at work , and , long before the arrival of tbe ' gentlemen from the south , a steamer had been chartered , and had started off to meet the steamer having the females on board , and they were taken off and conveyed to the Canada shore in safety .

    The excitement consequent on the Fugitive Slave Bill , during the past week , has been in some degree swallowed up by the stir and hustle of the elections , wbich have been the all-absorbing topic throughout the country . The bill has received many bard knocks , however , at ward and district election meeting * " *" - " Frederick Douglas has heen delivering lectures against the fugutive law in various parts of the country , and he is said to have been well attended , and to have produced a favourable impression . Mr . George Thompson , M . P ., was to have his ' reception , ' in Boston , on the evening of tbe 15 th inst ., at Faneuil Hall . It was to be ' A Gathering of the Friends of Reform , International Amity , and Universal Emancipation . '

    Mr . Thompson had announced lectures on British India . A couple ef extraordinary human curiosities have recently been brought here , and are now on exhibition . They consist of a boy and girl of an almost extinct race of Central America . They have been well described as the most outre _lookingobjects ever brought to this country . The boy is thirty . _, two inches in height , and weig hs I 61 bs ., and in tbe opinion of medical authority is about ten years old . The g irl is twenty-eight inches in heig ht , weighs 141 bs ., and is believed to be about ei ght years of ai _* e . Their heads are not larger than a new-born

    infant s _, and they may be almost said to be destitute of foreheads while their noses are finely _developed , straight and long , and project at a well-defined angle . Their eyes are full , dark , and lustrous . Their beads are covered with strong , dark hair , which descends forward nearly to the eyebrows ! the face very sharp , the upper lip projecting , and the chin receding in a corresponding degree . They are said io belong to the surviving remnant of an ancient order of priesthood , called ' Kaanas , ' which , by constant intermarriage within their own caste , has dwindled down to a few individuals , diminutive in stature and imbecile in intellect . Their

    heads and faces resemble exactly the figures on the bas-reliefs on tbe temple ruins described in Stephens ' s * Central America . ' These children are lively , playful , and _sflvefienate , hut all attempts to teach them a word of English have hitherto proved unsuccessful . Last evening , in the course of a visit to their rooms , a medical friend who accompanied me held out his watch to the boy when he instantly placed his ear in contact with it , as if to listen to its ticking ; and at one time , as he

    turned affectionately towards a little girl among the visitors , I told the girl to ' kiss bim , ' when he immediately placed himself in an attitude and protruded his face ; the child , however , withdrew frightened , and I held my cheek to him , when he instantly approached and greeted me with a kiss . They both—but particularly the boy—have a regard to their keeper , " and at all times readily recognise bim as he calls them by name . It is not improbable that these children will be carried to England shortly for exhibition .

    THE HUNGARIANS IN IOWA . The following is from the' New York Tribune' : — * We translate from the ¦ Anzeiger des _Westens ' the following extracts of a letter from the venerable governor Ujhazy to Mr . _Bornstein , the editor of that paper . It vividly describes tbe difficulties which the emigrants had in gaining their new abode , And exhibits the spirit with which , after having struggled to the last against Austrian usurpation and loyal treachery , tbey now confront the rugged obstacles with which unsubdued nature surrounds the settler in tbe great wild we 3 t . The brave old man writes as follows : —

    'Ourjourney by land from Burlington here was the most difficult undertaking I have had to go through since I turned my back on my own country . The bodily exertion and fatigue connected with it , were not so exhausting as the labours which met us here—though we can now prosecute tbem rather more at leisure . The anxieties and cares of our uncertain situation added to the painful character of tbe journey . For the greater part of the way we travelled over a wild country , without roads or bridges , crossing rivers and gulleyi , in constant fear of breaking our waggons and losing our remaining effects . In addition my tno daughters fell ill ;

    the measure of my trouble was full . In regard to the length of our journey , all our former calculations were disappointed , since instead of eight or ten days it lasted one month . There were days when we could not make more than two or three miles , being obliged to take all the cattle belonging to our four waggons , to haul a single waggon over the many steep bills we passed , I had , in company with my friends , four teams of my own , and was obliged to hire a fifth at Burlington . It would have

    amused you to see our former Hungarian gentlemen turned teamsters , and as such , instead of holding political discourses , carrying on a laconic and impressive conversation with their oxem What we did not know we soon learned , and finally our little caravau came to the promised banks of Thomson River . The view of the beautiful stream caused us to forget the difficulties of the journey , and I thanked that Providence , whicb bas suffered me at last to reaeh this first place of rest in my new future .

    * Our settlement is in Decatur County , in the southern part , of Iowa , and only a few miles from the Missouri-boundary . In order to honour the memory of our never-to-be-forgotten fatherland , and to remind m oi occurrences which will never be blotted from tbe pages of the world ' s history , I have given our new-born colony the name of _New-Buda . ' With the situation and adaptation of our settlement we are thus far perfectly satisfied . The soil is of the most fertile quality , very easy to be worked , and will give a plentiful return to labour . The locality consists of a broad valley , of

    alternate prairie and woodland , divided from north to south by the Thomson River ( named Crooked Fox R . on the maps ) . This is one of the minor rivers of the United States , but unquestionably one of the most _heautilul ; its crystal water , the beat I ever drank , flows over a sandy and pebblv bottom . A portion of tbe rolling prairie is admirably adapted for the cultivation of the grape The right bank ofthe river is still entirel y free , and I have taken possession of it * in order , however , to

    govern on both aides , I was obliged to buy out for 200 dollars , the claim of a squatter on the left bank This I did very unwillingly , because I have little money , and had resolved to pay nothing for a claim in a land where there i 8 so much of the public domain unoccupied . But the necessity of owning both banks of the river was too evident , since the stream s well adapted for mills and manufactories , which we may be able to erect iu the future . Under such circumstances . I have occupied a tolerable large tract , winch may help but cannot injure our

    prospect . 'We bave thus commenced as American farmers , with four horses , six oxen , four cows , ten sbeep , and forty hogs , besides the necessary agricultural implements . This is our stock capital ; but tbe best capital is cur labour , which we are carrying on zealously and in good spirits . With the exception of chill and fever , which seized three of my children , but cured itself without the aid of medicine , we all rejoice in good health , In spite of our steady labours in makingbay , and breaking up the prairie for . next year ' s crops . ' With the claim I have bought a house , which rather deterred tho name of « hut , « nd will be de-

Testimonials have been received from upwards of one hundred Physicians and Surgeons of tbe greatest eminence , as well as from many Officers of both Army and Navy , and nearly one thousand private letters from the gentry in town and country , speaking in high terms of this valuable remedy .
