THE REVOLUTION IN TUSCANY.
HOW RAILROADS MAY AFFECT GAL-
VESTON.
Mr. A. H. Shanks, writing to the Rusk En-
quirer, from Richland, Mississippi, after hav-
ing made a pretty general review of the pro-
gress and prospect of railroads in the Soutih
and West, says.—Civilian.
Rut what can we say of Texas ? Why, give
us railroads, and we have emphatically the
best country in North America ; for I am sat-

potatoes and melous—more of the tropical

THH RLSl'LT OF THE CONNECTICUT
ELECTION.
The abolitionists carried Connecticut on
Monday in.the popular vote. They have elec-
.oil four members ot Congress, viz :
1.— Dwight Loom is, (i.) popularity.
2.—".John Woodruff,; JJ20 popularity.
•- .—Alfred Rurnlia.n, tiUU popula'ity.
4.—Orris S, Ferry.
They have elected these men by one of the
most extraordinary efforts ever made in Con-
necticut. H:td a presidential election been
pending, they could have made no greater ex-
ertions. They were aided by all ilie northern
States'on the ground that if defeated upon their
Congressmen they would be i't a minority in
the next House ot Representatives, Mid this
would cut them off from electing a President
by the House, in case the people should make
no "choice. With this view of the case, the
Abolitionists of the entire North brought their
efforts to bear upon Connecticut, and money
was showered upon the State in floods. Ten
dollars for a vote was repeatedly offered, and
we have heard that as high as S-- for a single

OPINIONS OP THE ENGLISH PRESS.
[From the London Poet, (Lord Palmertton'* organ),
March 17.
We have no wish to sound unnecessary
alarms, but who that looks at the present state
of Europe does not see the circumstances to be
so critical that England cannot take a feeble
part in the averting of hostilities without last-
ing discredit to her natural position ? The at
titude of Austria and Sardinia is one of mutual
menace and provocation which any hour may
carry forward in actual bloodshed. Germany
is becoming excited at the gloomy signs that
are thickening around her. The French funds
keep sinking! because no one believes in the
continuance of peace. Italians from all quar-
ters are flocking to the flag of Sardinia. The
Pope has declared his help.essness. Naples is
ready to break into revolution at a short no-
tice. Indeed, the whole Italian Peninsula is
disquieted. And all these hang so together,
and are so involved one with the other, that a
breach of peace anywhere would infallibly dis-
turb all and precipitate a state of things awful
to think of.
[ from the London Time*, March 17.
And yet France keeps up 600,000 men and
a first rate fleet for the purposes of defence !—
The results of such a policy are obvious. The
world will not believe that the French people
make these sacrifices merely to insure an inde-
pendence which nobody threatens. When,
year alter year, fleets and armies are the con-
stant objects of solicitude, when the levy of
conscripts never fails, and the dockyards ring
continually with the construction of new e-i-i
ginesot war, then Austria, Prussia, England
and the whole of Central and Western Europe,
are forced to be on their guard also. Three• mil-
ium* of men ore under rirrnx in a Continent
where the most cynical /wlitician iroithlnot Jure
ti/ sin/ lie i.rpecte-l war.
********
The Cenman people are not likely to be
much moved by this appeal (referring to the
Moniteur article). They know well that the
attitude they have taken is just that most likely
to lead to a peaceful settlement. Amid the
dangers ot the present time, there are two most
reassuring symptoms in Europe. The one is
the indisposition of the French to a war, at
least with any Continental Power; the other i
this very unity and enthusiasm in Germany
which e&cites the anger of the Mouifeur. * *
* It is well understood that, while recogni-
zing the existence of Italian grievances, and
while urging, in company with England, the
necessity of reforming them, Prussia litis not
cea3ed to condemn the unwarrantable policy of
France.
Assuming, then, that the Moniteur represents
truly the Imperial intentions, and that he has
occupied himself with the affairs of Italy " in
the interest of European tranquility," we may
say that he has received most able assistance
from Europe generally. His sympathy for
German nationality especially will no doubt be
increased by the reflection that, when for a
time embarked on a course which might have
led to an interruption of this tranquility, the
rulers and people of Germany recalled hint
from his error. We trust that Prussia ami the
States of the Confederation will persevere in
thus aiding the Imperial reformer. By a firm
attitude and sufficient preparation they can at-
tach him more than ever to those pacific prin-
ciples which he announces as his own.
"IFrom the London Herald. (Lord Derhi/'x organ).
March 18.]
On one point there can be no misconception
The determination of Europe, boldly and
strongly expressed, is for the maintenance of
peace. Everywhere the voice of the people
has been raised, denouncing war, and rulers
now-a-days cannot afford to set public opinion
at defiance. Tn spite, therefore, of the obsti-
nacy which the war party display in a bad
cause, we believe that a contest will be avoided,
and that the pacific aspirations of European
communities will not, on this occasion, be
doomed to disappointment. *****
Such declarations, (alluding to the article in
the Moniteur,) taken in connection with the
consistent manner in which the Emperor Na-
poleon has acted since he first mounted the
throne, convince us that, the peace of Europe
will not be disturbed, and that in spite of the
efforts that have been made to create embar-
rassment. anil to engender hostility, the Italian
question will be settled in a manner honorable
to all parties and without an appeal to al ius.
[Frnm the London Telegraph, (radical un/iin I.
March 18.]
That Louis Napoleon would like to attack
Austria, we cannot for a moment doubt; but
with "Russia cold, Prussia unfriendly, the
smaller German States enthusiastic in their ha-
tred of him, and the vast spectre of England
frowning upon him across the Channel, he is
scarcely able to decide on the course lie oinrlit
to pursue. There have long been ruuiors in
circulation of still more sinister import. It is
said there is disaffection in the French arniv,
which might break forth with terrible effect on
the way to Italy. But the main difficulty, af-
ter all, lies concealed in the depth of the State
coffers. Would the resources of France long
hold out in a European war, which Louis Na-
poleon only contemplates for the purpose of se-
curing his own footing on a tottering throne ?
If the military strength of the country were
withdrawn to be engaged in foreign wars—if
the conscription were to carry its desolating ef-
fects into villages and hamlets—if the French
manufacturers, merchants, shipowners and tra-
ders were to find themselves cramped in their
private revenues—we suspect that those of the
State would speedily shrivel into insignificance.
During such a crisis the republican party
would discern an opportunity for playing its
own game.
EXPENDITURES* OF" THE GOVERN-
MENT.
The Washington State*, in an article upon
this subject, says : " The idea is widely preva-
lent—we even entertained it ourselves—that
the Expenditures of the Federal Government
are increasing every year at an alarming rate,
and that they now amount to nearly a hundred
millions of dollars per annum. The fact is far
different, as we have ascertained on investiga-
tion, and are prepared to prove. The expen-
ditures of the Government fall an immense mar-
gin short of a hundred million, and are rapidly
decreasing, instead of increasing, each year."
After giving details of the expenditures", the
States says : '• The recapitulation of what we
have elaborately explained, gives the following
comparative result:
Expenditures of 1857-'58, appropriated by an
Opposition House, - - - $71,901,129
Expenditures of 1858-'59, - - 59,974,226
Expenditures of 1859-'60, - - 54,000,000
us have we succeeded in demonstrating
the fh^sity of the two propositions industrious-
ly asserted by the Opposition, to-wit: that the
expenditures of the Government approximate a
hundred ihillious a year, and are increasing at
"at alarming rate. Both allegations are ab-
surdly false." \

THE DISCUSSION AT LEBANON.
The Gubernatorial canvass opened at Leba-
non on the 19th. The occasion attracted, with
a large concourse of the people of the vicinage,
quite a number of Candidates, editors, report-
ers and politicians. The discussion, its tone/
arguments, personal points and popular effect,
is highly encouraging to the Democracy.—
That unvarying personal courtesy which need
not cease to mark the intern ursc of gentlemen
when they meet in (he relative attitude of po-
litical opponents, was observed by the deba-
tants, and seems to have engendered a general
good feeling throughout the mixed assembly
present.
Mr. Magoffin, in accordance with a previous
arrangement, opened the discussion, with
sound, practical and argumentative speech.—
Mr. Bell spoke in his accustomed graceful, vo-
luble and entertaiiing style. The Democratic
candid itc addressed himself with logical argu-
ment, well sustained by clearly arranged state-
ments ot indisputable facte to the practical pa-
triotism of his hearers; his opponent seemed
to rely on anecdote, witticism, and sarcasm, as
the staple of his harangue. The one, with pos-
itive purpose and seeming self-conviction of the
importance of the truths he sought to impress,
appealed to the impartial judgment of the peo-
ple ; the other was content so minister to pop-
ular prejudice and divert public attention from
the force of his adversary's arguments, "by en-
tertaining repartee and ingenious sarcasm.—
The discussion, in a word, indicated the real
attitude of the debatants ; the one stood before
the people as the expouent of distinctly avowed
principles, and a clearly defined poticy of gov-
ernmental administration, the representative ol
a national political organization which pro-
claims its objects and purposes to the country,
leaving no doubt to rest upon its course when
placed in power; the other appeared as the fu-
sion candidate of a conglomerated combination,
without authority to advocate any given meas-
ure, to avow an important principle, or say to
the people what would be the policy of the
party with which he acts, in the event of its
success
Xeir York Correspondence of the Texan Christian Ad-
roctfle.
The leading events of the week have been
the Odd Fellows' celebration, and the ntroduc-
tion of Ridge wood water iato Brooklyn. On
the 21st, was the 40th anniversary of the Odd-
Fellows' Older, and celebrated in this •; ty,witli
great pon.p and numbers, according io a reso-
lution of the Grand Lodge of the United States
adopted a year ago. Five members forty years
ago in Baltimore organized the first lodge.—
What progress since! Now there are lodges in
every State, and their numbers number 200,-
i.'OO, the noble sum of about a m llion of do'-
lars to relieve the sick, widows and orphans.
The procession was immense, forming on the
Battery, and proceeding some three miles to
Madison Square, where Mr. Boylston. of South
Carolina, aelivered the oration. Odes wcr^
sung. 1 have never seen a more brilliant anil
iiupos ng display; from seven to teft thousand,
it was estimated, were in the line of match,and
vith their beautiful banners, splendid regalia,
official dresses, music, flowers, etc., etc., etc..
presented a scene of rich display selhoni seen
anywhere. There were knights, crusaders,and
pilgrims,and other magnificently robeil officials.
The attendance of the brethren from abroad
was very large, 300 from District of Columbia.
400 Baltimore, 400 Pennsylvania, K00 North-
ern New York, and large delegation from the
Fast and West. Proper religious services were
held at the church of ti>e Divine t'nity in the
morning, and at night a grand service and re
union at tae Academy of Music. Th'* day wt-
beautiful, the sky clear, and everything went
off as pleasantly as these men ot Faith, Hope
and Charity could desire.
The great water celebration, at Brooklyn,
took place on Thursday last. It was the mos.
famous day our sister city ever exhibited.—
The whole place, now with over 100,000 citi-
zens, was a perfect jubilee, at the introduction
of pure water. Salutes were fired, bells rung,
houses closed, and the militarj', and firemen,
and citizens ttijrned out in procession, by tens
of thousands. Fro ti five to eight thousand
spectators assembled around the fountains,now
throw:ng high into the air the sparkling liquid
gems Neptune was in the midst, surrounded
with his sea nymphs< After the day's ceremo-
nies, magnificent fire works were displayed a'
the public places, and some buil lings illumi-
nated.
In July. 18o6, the first ground iu the reser-
voir was broken for this great work, and called
'• Ridgewater [Reservoir." It is eighty-four
acres large, and will hold 150,000,0(irt gallons
of water, elevated 150 feet above the Atlantic,
to be seen in the distance. The sources are
fresh ponds and brooks, and, at the lowest
stage, always yielding twenty millions of gal-
lons every day. Hempstead Pond is the eas-
tern terminus, nineteen miles distant from the
Brooklyn City'Hall; here the canal commences
which, wi'h the conduits, can daily deliver 40,-
000,000 gallons. East Pond has been • leared
and dammed, tind has a clear sandy bottom —
Ridgewood Reservoir is six miles distant from
the city. The work has cost about three mil-
lions of dollars, and half a million more to fin-
ish it. James; P. Kirkwood is the Chief Engi-
neer. Both Njew York and Brooklyn no v pos-
sess the priceless blessing of abundant r>ure wa-

The Rev. Mir. Williams, English missiona.y
to the Fiji Islands, has written a book about
them, and he thus speaks of Tanao, the Can-
nibal King of the islands, who died in 1852 :
•' Tanao was a proud man : when gray and
wrinkled, he tried to hide these marks of old
age by a plentiful application of black powder.
He w is also cruel and implacable. Mothelotu,
one of his cousins, was so uuhappy as to offend
him, and sous ht, with tears and entreaties, for
forgiveness; but the purpose of the cruel chief
was fixed that Mothelotu should die. After
having kissed his relative, Tanao cut off his
arm at the elbow, and drank ihe blood, as it
flowed warm from the severed veins. The arm,
s**ill quivering with life, he threw upon u fire,
and, when sufficiently cooked, nte it in pres-
ence of its propter owner, who was then dismeni- •
bered, limb by limb, while the savage mvrder-
er looked, with pitiless brutality, on the dying |
agonies of his victim* j
" At a late>! period, Tanao sentenced his j
youngest son tp die by the club. The blow
givn by the brother, who was appointed a°
his executioner, was not fatal. The father
knowing of his ientreaty for mercy, shouted nn-
rily, 4 Kill hink! Kid him !' and the horrible
,ict was completed. Nearly the last words spo-
ken by this map of blood were formed into the
question,' How( many will follow me ? '—mean- 3
ing, 'Ho v many women do you inteud to strati-«
gle at my death ?' Being answered that live
of his wives would then be sacrificed, he died
with satisfaction."
\ From Pretcott* Philip Out 2nd,
MARRIAGE OF PHILIP AND MART.
"Philip was attended by the principal per-
sons of his suite, of both sexes; and as the
procession, making a goodly show, passed
through the streets on foot, the minstrelsy play-
ed before them, till they reached the royal res-
idence. The reception-room was the great hall
of the palace. Mary, stepping forward to re-
ceive her betrothed, saluted him with a loving
kiss before all the company. She then con-
ducted him to a sort of throne, where she took
her seat bv his side, under a stately canopy.
They remained there for an hour or more, con-
versing together, while their courtiers had lei-
sure to become acquainted with one another,
and to find ample food, doubtless, for future
criticism' in the peculiarities of national cos-
tume and manners. Notwithstanding the Suan-
ish blood in Mary's veins, the higher circles of
Spain aud England had, personally, almost as
little intercourse with one another at that pe-
riod, as England and Japan have at the pres-
ent.
"The ensuing day, the festival of St. James,
the patron saint of Spain, was the one appoin-
ted lor he marriage. Philip exchanged his
usual simple dress for the bridal vestments pro-
vided for him by his mistress. They were of
spotless white, satin and cloth of gold, thickly
powdered with pearls and precious stones.—
Round his neck he wore the superb collar of
the golden Fleece, the famous Burgundian or-
der; while the brilliant riband below his knee
served as the badge of the no less illustrious
order of the Garter. He went on foot to the
cathedral, attended by all his nobles, vying
with one another in the ostentatious splendor
of their retinues.
"Half an hour elapsed before Philip was
joined by the queen at the entrance of the ca-
thedral. Mary was surrounded by tlje lords
and ladies of her court. Her dress, of white
satin and cloth of gold, like his own, was stud-
ded and fringed with diamonds of ines'imable
price ; some of them doubtless, the gift of
Philip, which he had sent her by the hands of
the Prince of Eboli, soon after his landing.
Her bright-red slippers, and her mantle of
black velvet, formed a contrast to the rest of
hor apparel, and, for a bridal costume, would
hardly suit the tast of the precent day. The
royal party then moved up the nave of the ca-
thedral, and were received in the choir by the
Bishop of Winchester, supported by the o-reat
prelates of the English Church. The greatest
of all Crainner, the primate of all England,
who should have performed the ceremony, was
•ib-ent—in disgrace and a prisoner.
"Philip and Mary took their seats under a
royal canopy, with an altar between them.—
Tlie queen was surrounded by the ladies of her
court, whose beauty, says an Italian writer, ac-
quired additional lustre by contrast with the
cliadowy complexions of the South. The aisles
and spacious galleries were crowded with spec-
tators of every degree, drawn together from"
the most, distant quarters, to witness the cere-
mony.
"The silence was broken by Figueroa, one of
the imperial conncil, who read aloud an instru-
ment of the emperor, Charles the fith. It
stated that this marriage had been of- hte own
seeking; aud he was desirous that this beloved
son should enter into it in a manner suitable to
his own expectations and the dignity of his ii
lustrious consort. He therefore resigned to him
his entire right and sovereignity over the king-
dom of Naples, and the duchy of Milan. The
rank of the parties would thus be equal, and
Mary, instead of givine her hand to a subject,
would wed a soverign like herself.
'Some embarrassment occurred as to the
person who should give the queen away—a
part of the ceremony not provide for. After a
conference, it was removed by the Marquis of
Winchester and the Earls of Pembroke and
I>erby who took it on themselves to give her
away in the name of the whole realm, at which
the multitude raised a shout that made the old
walls of the catherdal ring again. The mar-
ringe service was then concluded by the Bish-
op ot Winchester. Philip and Mary resumed
their seats, and mass was performed, when the
bridegroom, rising, gave his consort the 'kiss
of peace,' according to the custom ofthe time.
The whole ceremony occupied nearly four
hours. At the close of it, Philip, taking
Mary by the hand, led her from the church.
The royal couple were followed by the long
train of prelates and nobles, and were prece-
ded by the Earl« of Pembroke and Derby,
each bearing aloft a naked sword the symbol
of sovereignity.. The effect ofthe spectacle
was heightened by the various costumes of the
two nations—the richly tinted and picturesque
dresses of the Spaniards, and the solid mag-
nificence of the English and Flemings, ming-
led together in gray confusion. The glitter-
ing procession moved slowly on, to the blithe
sounds of festal music, while the air was rent
with the loyal acclamations . of the populace,
delighted, as usual, with the splendor of the
pagent."

THE VATICAN MS. OF THE NEW TES-
TAMENT.
From (he London Correspondent of the Ch. Watchman.
Tlie Biblical critics among your readers will
be gratified to learn that the Vatican Manu-
script, the most famous codex of the original
Scriptures of the New Testament, will shortly
be made available to scholars at a reasonable
price. The Vatican Manuscript, edited by
Cardinal Mai, contains not only the New Tes-
tament. but also the Septuagint version of the
Old Testament Scriptures, and is comprised in
five folio volumes. The first four contain the
Old, and the fifth the New Testament, and the
only means of obtaining the Roman edition is
by purchasing the entire work at the cost of
about fifty dollars. The Coilex Vaticanus of
the New Testament will soon be printed in
London, verbatim from the Roman edition re-
cently published, at the price of only twelve
shillings per copy. This Manuscript is be-
lieved to be the most ancient in existence, and
modern Biblical critics assign its date to the
middle of the fourth century. Its history is
involved in impenetrable obscurity, and no one
can tell at what period it was first placed on
the shelves of the Vatican, but early in the
sixteenth century it was generally known
throughout Europe as the most venerable man-
uscript of the New Testament. It has always
been jealously guarded, and its contents con-
cealed from vulgar gare. When Dr. Bentley
contemplated an editiou of the Greek Testa-
ment iu 1721, he visited Rome, hoping to ob-
tain permission to collate the Codex Vaticanus,
but was denied access to the manuscript. In
1843 Cardiual Mai showed Professor Teschen-
dorf the printed text now recently published.
More than thirty years since the writer fas fa-
vored with a view of this ancient BMMOnpt.
It is written on thin vellum, and t&e letters are
all capitals, and destitute of interpunction. In
each page there are three oolumns. "'

I am foot-aoreamd vwyweerjr,-
But I travel to *Mt a flri—d;
The way is long and diWjr,
But I know that it aoSa must end.
He is traveling Cut, like tbe whirlwind,
And tbevgh I creep slowly on, !
We are dawning nearer, nearer,
And the journey is alnust dene.
Through the heat of najr snameni;
■ Through many a spring-time rain;
Through long autumns and weary winter*,
I have hoped to meet him in vain.
On ths day of mj birth he plighted
His kingly word toWe^
I have seen him in dreams so often
That I know what his smile must be.
I have toiled through the sunny woodland;
Through fields that basked in the light;
And through the lone paths in the forest,
1 crept in the dead of night.
I will not fear at his coining.
Although I must meet him alone;
He will look in my eye so gently.
And take my hand in his own.
Like a dream all my toil will vanish
When I lay my head on his breast;
But the journey is very weary.
And he only can give ne rest!
A Case of Internal Explosion.—A
Miss Riley, of Indiana who was visiting ia the
family of Hon. W. Niblacky of the same State,
met her death in a singular manner. She
mixed a seidlits powder in two different glas-
ses, and instead of pouring them together he-
fore drinking, drank them off separately, when
tbe effervesence occurring in the stomach par-
tially strangled her. In the excitement a
dose of mustard was given to make h*f vomit
what she had taken, and a physician sent for,
but before he arrived she was a corpse. \
The payments will be uiade as follows: $498
000 out of the State loan, and the balance in
bonds of the stock of the Company at par, or
in selected binds in sections of five acres, at
the option of tbe contractors.
The stockholders in thtj city have generally,
approved of tbe last compromise, and there is
jeneral feeling of approbation among them
and confidence expressed in Dr. Fowlkes'
ability to free the Company from debt and
push the work forward.
