render assistance to either the United States on the one hand, or the States calling themselves the Confederate States on the other, both of which parties are recognized by the proclamation as belligerents. The British government is accustomed to preserve an attitude of neutrality towards contending nations; but it would seem that neutrality does not so far interfere with the sympathies and freedom of its subjects as to compel it to issue proclamations against Irishmen enlisting with Francis Joseph, or Englishmen fighting for Victor Emanuel and Garibaldi. The proclamation in this case is so warmly eulogized by the British press as precisely the proclamation demanded by the crisis, they profess such profound astonishment that the American people are not satisfied with it, and rate so severely Mr. Cassius M. Clay for expressing with Western bluntness his frank surprise, that I will dwell for a moment on what seems to be its meaning and effect. What has the proclamation effected

waters, and quay walling. We may cite the moles of Dover and Alderney, in England, of Port Vendre, Cette, La Ciotat, Marseilles, and Cherbourg in France, Carthagena in Spain, Pola in the Adriatic, of Algiers and Port Said in Africa, and Cape Henlopen at the mouth of the Delaware. For the break water at Cherbourg artificial stone blocks of 712 cubic feet each were immersed The fortifications before Copenhagen are made of a concrete of broken stone and hydraulic mortar. The sluice of Francis Joseph on the Danube, in Hungary, is built entirely of concrete. This work forms a reservoir, the bottom and the sides of which consist of one piece. Its length is 360 feet, and width 30 feet. Its construction, begun in 1854, was completed within 90 days, the work being pushed forward both night and day. M. Coignet's beton agglomere was used in the erection of the aqueduct of La Vanne, which now carries pure water from the river of La Vanne in the department of the Aube and of the Yonne to

ct the assayer's scale; the addition of a bucket of water will throw out of poise the beam of the 300-ton canal-Fairbanks-boat scale. The test for position in watches has its parallel also in the test of platform-scales, in which large masses of metal are placed alternately on the different corners of the platform. They are sold all over the world and adapted to the standards of all nations, being marked with the peculiar sign of each. Hon. Thaddeus Fairbanks received the Order of Francis Joseph in 1873. The essential points in the Fairbanks scales are: 1. The conveyance of a precisely known, often very small fraction of the weight of the commodity to the graduated beam, this being at a point of easy inspection. 2. The broad open platform, at the level most convenient for the reception of commodities. The weight of the platform is distributed upon the shorter arms of a series of steelyard levers, whose longer ends are connected by an upright rod with a horizontal graduat

i regret it? Manifestly because he regards it as weakening the cause of a "united Italy." If the American Union can be disbanded, why not the Italian Union. Bertinatti, with his clear-seeing Italian intellect, plainly enough dreads the effect of our wrangling upon the future of his own country. Whenever, then, the Southern Confederacy can manage to stand alone, it will find no difficulty in securing its recognition by the leading Powers of Europe. Such, at least, is the belief of neutral Southern men of great intelligence, resident in this city. We have never supposed any other result possible. As to the satisfaction it gives absolutists to see our institutions destroyed, that can no longer be prevented. If the Union is not dismembered, it can only be hold together by force, and that is despotism — military despotism. We prefer to see the South any day under Alexander, Napoleon, Francis Joseph, Victoria, or any other crowned head of Europe, than under Abraham Lincoln.

of Western and Northern politicians to involve the United States in a war with England. Nevertheless, for the last thirty years, an English crusade has been carried on against Southern institutions; the whole power of the press has been brought to bear upon slavery and slaveholders, till they are execrated throughout Great Britain, till Southerners are shunned socially, as well as proscribed politically, and made to assume the same hideous guise in European imaginations that "Bomba" and Francis Joseph are in those of our countrymen, by the malignant falsehoods of the same prostituted journals. Unless the object of all this has been, and is, the dissolution of the Union, involving the overthrow of the only commercial and manufacturing rival that Great Britain has to fear, it is perfectly inexplicable.--We trust that she will be disappointed. If disunion cannot be averted, the South can stand alone; or, if she desires allies, she will far sooner find them among our gallant Northern fr

This lady with this terribly long name is the daughter of Leopold, King of the gains, and if Napoleon III. agrees to it is to be the Empress of Mexico. Maximilian is the brother, of the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria.
