“Sir, said the Emperor Nicholas, in a memorable deplomatic interview between him and your speaker, during the recent revolutions that struck down Hungary, remodeled France,and broke the bonds of union between l)eiiinark and her re- volted Duchy, causing nearly evcrv monarch to tremble for his throne——"Sir I view caliny all this agitation. Rus- sia is iimouclied, and will not be mingled

with it. Her hour is not yet come, though her destiny cannot belong delay- ed! She will soon be involved in a.

PIEDMONT sun AUSTRIA.

The following is an extract from the Paris correspondence of Le Nerd the Russian journal of Brussels : “Dining a few days ago with a high personage oi the court, Count Cavour did not conceal his complaints against the Conference, for refusing to niterfcre in the affairs of ltaly against Austria, which power had

year is out. he minister of Victor lgmanucl, adds Le Nerd. uttered his prophecy with some show of reason; the moment a Piedmontese army from the Crimea is about to enter the Gulf of Spczzia, Austria brings her troops to the frontier of Piedmont. It is easy to foresee the possibility of a. conﬂict. En. gland will sustain Piedmont. France also would cordially interfere with the object of reconciling the revolution win. the interests of the Pope. Austria, who left Russia to combat singly with the A lied powers, could not in the case ofa conflict in Italy, rely upon Russia.

HISCRLLAREOUS.

WEARING Fi.ssNi:i..—Put it on at once; winter or summer, nothing better can be worn next the skin than ii loose, red, woollen, ﬂannel shirt; “loose,” for it has room to move on the skin, thus causing a litilation which draws the blood to the surface and keeps it there; and when that is the case no one can take a Cold; “ fed," for white ﬂannel fulls up, units together, and becomes light, still‘, heavy, and impervious. Cotton wool merely absorbs the moisture from the sur- firm-, whil - woollen ﬂannel conveys it from the skin and deposits it in drops on the outside of the shirt, from which the or- dinary couon shirt absorbs it, and by its nearer exposure to the exterior air, it is soon dried without injury to the body. Having these properties, red woollen ﬂan- nel is worn by sailors even in the mid summer ofilie hottest countries. Wear a ihiiiner material in summer.—Hall’s Journal of Health.
