This, says the l'enngkl-caitian, is a de 'tided step in advance of Know-Noth -ing bigotry and intolerance, and is a significant commentary upon that ven eration and regard for the Declara tion of Independenee which the Re pu'b'licans are so fond of indulging in.

The fire compan'ie's gltideeded to the scene, and upon 'Omit arrival the barn and out-hou ses were already in ruins. The dwell ing house of the farm, which was al ready on fire, was saved from destruc tion. In the barn were a number of cat tle, of which three horses are known to have perished. .Somd escaped and oth ers are missing, it not being known whether or not they perished in the flames.- All the grain, horse and cattle feed in the barn were destroyed, togeth er with small pigs ) chickens and fowls, and in factall the farming utensils, and everything attached -to the barn was lost.

LEBANON ADVE_RTISEIL---A FAMILY NEWSPAPER• THE Tile Royal Mail Steamship Persia, which sailed from Liverpool on the morning of the 30th of April, arrived at New York on Wednesday last. The Russian protest against the con duct of Austria is represented as by far the most energetic. It declares the conduct of Austria to be offensive. By way of Switzerland we have an assertion that 160,000 French soldiers were on their march towards Savoy. Two divisions of the army of Switz erland had been placed on a war foot ing. The Paris papers have been 'invited' 'not to give any account of .the move ments of the military. The 34th and 35th French Regiments of the line had embarked at Toulon, and their destination was presumed to beGenoa. The London Poet says that the whole militia of the United Kingdom was to be embodied forthwith. A cbrirs'd'armee, of 12,000 men, was Mainly be posted 'in -and around Frankfurt, for the lifkitectibn of the Ger- manic Diet. It was assetted at Frankfurt that in case of war, a considerable Corps of ob servation, ccidiposed of the troooof the German Confederation, will be - seirt - to theßhine, to which Austria on herpart, 'al' furnish a conti nge nt of 25,000 men, under the command of the Emperor in Orlin n A Vienna telegram of the 29th says "The`• official journal, the Austrian -- COl'respb4dence, details all the facts' by which the machinations of Piedmont, - supported by France, have been unvail ed. I.t also announces the departure of the Grand Duke •of Tuscany and the fra :tErni2ation of his army with the revolu- AVonists, and a revolt at Massa and Car • Tara; with the establishment of a Provi• sional Government. Austria must, htherefore, draw the sword to . maintain Etiropean order." rr . 111 E PIIOFFEUED MEDIATION OF EIVG• LAND.—The -Times publishes the fol. luwitrg Iltlegraln'from correspondent in Vienna : °Vrervi.ra,WedneSday inorning.—the British Government has offered its di. rect in'edialio'n between Austria 'France upon the basiSof turd-COWley's 'Proposals.

The London IlloMing Post of t be29Ll) says there was still hope for peace, as the English offer of mediation was un der the seriousconsid&ration of theEin. peror of the French, and if the Austri ans refrain from advancing, a pacific settlement might still he made. TUSCANY JOINS PIEDMONT AND FRANCE. Nearly all the superior officers of the Tascan troops (15,000 men): presented themselves before the Grand Duke at Florence, and declared to him that to prevent the revolt of the army there was only one way, to:unite With Pied mont, unil•tt miftirl-the:tri•Colorilag of qtalianindepencleriee." The - Grand Doke itnriteililitely tient ftir the Marquis of Ss Fjatide and begged him to form a new ad ministration, with a view of giving the relorms wanted. The Marquis answer• ed that he could notundertakethe task, or save the. dynasty except on two con ditions:—Firs4 the abdication of the Grand Mike. Second, a'deelaration of war against Austria, and an alliance with France and Piedinont. The Grand Duke refused these conditions, and de clared he would quit ''f'uschrty immedi ately,`add Thav'e -pbtitile 'to •db what 'they pleasdil: The Grand Duke, after.throwing him self upon the.protection of the Five 'Or a eat 'Bfitvers, retired to Bologna. The military dictatorship was then proe.lairne'd in Tuscany, and in -Turin.— It is stated that Victor Emanuel is made Dictator. - _ BRITISH PREPARATIONS FOR WAR, `The Channel Squadron, in the Med iterranean was to be immediately recall ed ; and on the 27th, four. new ships of the line were pladeil in corninission.

It will consist of eight divisions of cav alry arid as many of Infantry. Eight steam frigates :left: Toulon on Tuesday, the 26th, fur Gentia. They were filled with troop. The French. army collecting on the slopes of the 'Alps will be of the most formidable character. • Le Nord, of the 28th, says the Empe ror Napoleon had notified the English Government that h'e had felt himself obli• ged to send a French . army of occupa ,,tion immediately- into the Sardinian ter tito'ry, fur the purpose of being in time to protect his ally against the attack of Austria. The Cabinet of London repli ed, under the existing citcuinstances England would offer no objection.

Irian ultimatum:— The King regards the demand to dis arm as an outrage on himself and the na tion, an d liar, "therefore, repelled the de mand with disdain. The King calls towards Italy's cry of anguish, and says: —"I will lie your captain. I have prov ed your valor on the field of liattte the side of my illustrious father. Tliis time you will have for your comrades the gallant French soldiers, your com panions, the Tohernaga, whom the Em peror has sent to support and defend our just and civilizingcausesforward to vic tory. Let our banners announce to you that our object, like our war cry, is In dependence of Italy." The King was at Alexandria, to take command of the Army.

The Ministry of Police , is.tiaiere•es tablislied in France after the fasbibb of the first Empire, . Modena and' Parma have also declar ed for Sardinia. The Austrian `army, 130,000 strong, have, we believe, crossed the Ticino in three divisions by Novara and on Turin from the Lakes.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPTI Man Carried 100 feet above the Earth. The Wheeling Intelligeneer soberly relates the following startling incident. If true, it certainly deserves record as a 'reritarkahle aecident anil'eseape - i—;-.The most frightful, and at ihe'sathe tithe the most remarkable accident we have ever seen on record, occurred at the Catho. lie Church, yesterday- morning. Some twenty persons were engaged in putting up the new bell' which arrived from Pittsburgh the evening befOre. There Was'a windlass erected an the ground, to which was attached, a snatch block and s.bieve. iMmediatelfa! ove the . open apace,in the aupdla, to WhiCh the bell was to be draivn up, ihe're Protruded a ,beam, to which was attached another snatch.block and pully, 'and the - bell was to have been conveyed to the 'top, In means of strong ropeS, working throngb these shieves. by the overef the 'Wind lass and eylinder upon ,the ground. The bell had been raised in this way almost up to the open space in the cupola, and the teen were just ready to pull it in. A man named Thomas NCwton,. was below, engaged in guiding the folds of the rope as it wound round theeylinder. To do this, he had a firm grasp upon the rope. 'When the, hell had reached a great height from the ground, one ofthe cogs in 'the ioTheels tif the ivindlitsslix tore gave way. Apotie'r revolutioe of the ivhee'l 'ripped oh' the cogs; the bell Tell to the 'ground, and Newton, who had hoidof the 'IOW& end Of the rope, was carried up, With frightful velocity, a distance of one hand - red feet front the ground, and about four feet above the aperture whOe the bell Was to have been taken in. For the instant every one was surprised beyond measure, and be fore. those engaged in the work could comprehend what had happened; New ton; with his ,hands all lacerated. and bleeding, worked himselfdown opposite the aperture, and called for help to those 'Bishnp — Whelen, who was on the platform in the cupola, reedited out at the risk Of hit fife, alinost, and sei - • ink, Newton by the waist, pulled hith "from hit aivTul The accident struck everybody with amazement, and all but the eve witnes• ses were 10th 'to believe in the incredu• loo's feat. The bell weighed three thousand seven hundred pounds, and as it fell withoullkindrance,some idea may be formed of the rapidity with which Newton ascended He says he thought of letting go the rope, but before the thought was clearly defined, he was at the beam, a hundred feet above. He had not time to let go his hold upon the rope. Some cogs and pieces of machin ery were hurled a distance of two squares from the church; and a Mr. Smith who was standing near, received -an ugly wound in the face from allying particle, Mr. Newton was taken to the office Of Dr. Hupp, • where his Wounded hands were dressed: The flesh Was all' biro from the palms Of 'his hands, even to the hone, which is supposed to haVe been done by the death grasp, and hissliding down the rope during the swift passage into air. Altogether, w e suppose, there is not a ,more startling or remarkable accideni,_or a more tiiitaetilons escape on record.

ENGLISH 8113 LE The following list of the different versions of the English Scriptures, is extracted from the Encyclopedia of lipious Knowledge: 11 7 11(;KLIFFE'S BIBLE,---1: his was the first translation made into the lan guage. It was translated by. John Wickliffe, about the year 1530, but never printed, though there are man uscript copies of it in several of the public libraries. TYNDALE'S BIBLE.---The translation by William Tyndale, assisted by Miles Coverdale, was the first printed Bible in the EngHSl' **language. The now testament was published in 1526. It was revised and republished in 1530. In 1532, Tyndale and his 'associates finished the Whole Bible, except the Apocrypha, and printed it abroad. MATTHEW'S BIBLE.--While Tyn dale was preparing a second edition of his Bible, he was taken pp and burned for heresy at Flanders. On his death, Coverdale and John Rogers revised it, and added a translation to the Apocrypha. It was dedicated to Henry VIII in 1537, and was printed Hitnibtirg under the borrowed name - of Thomas Matthew,. whence it was called Matthew's tible. CRANmEk's BlEo:—lhis was the first Bible printed by aifthOrity in England, and publicly set up in the churches. It was Tyndale's version, revised by Coverdale, and examined by Crammer, who added a freface to it, whence - it Was called Cranmer'sßi bre. It was printed - by Crafton, one of the largest volumes, published in 1540. After being adopted, suppress ed and restored under successive reigns, a new edition was brought out in 1562. THE GENEVA BIBLE.—Some English exiles at Geneva, in Queen Mary's reign, - viz :—Coverdale, Goodman, Gabe, Sampson, Cole, Witting and lifioX Made a new translation;whieh was printed there in 1560. nee it was called the Geneva Bible: It was much valued by, the. Puritan party,-- In this version the first distinction of verses was made. It went through s'Orne twenty editions. Bishop's BlBLE.—Archbishop Parker engaged Bishops and other learned men to bring out anew trans lation. They did so in1568,,in. large folio. It made what was afterwards called the great Efigliall Bible, And Cominonly called the Bishop's Bible. In 1570 it was published in octavo, in sinail but :fine blaek letter. In it the chapters Wel'e 'divided into Verses, but without any breaks for them. MATTHEW PARIjEn'S BIBLE.—The Bishop's Bible underwent F. , 00.16 cor rections' find was printed. in large fo lio in 1572, and called Matthew Park er's Bible. This version was used in the churches forty years. THE DOUAY BIBLE.—TheNew Tes tament was brought out by the -Bo man 'Clathelies - in 1684, and called the Romanish New TestaMent. It was condemned by the Queen of England, and copies were seized by her author ity and destroyed_ In 1699 and 1710 the Old Testament was added, and the whole published at Douay, hence called the Douai 13ible. KING JAMES' BIBLE.--The version now in use was brought out by King James' authority, in 1611. Fifty-four learned men were employed to ac complish the work of revising. From death or other causes, seven of theth failed to enter upon it. The remain ing fortpseien were ranged under six divisions, and had different portions of the Bible assigned to these divi sions. They entered upon their task in 1607. After some three. or • four years of diligent labor, the whole was generally adopted ; and other versions fell into disuse. It has continued hi Use for nearly two hundred years. SPURGEON .AND THE YANKEE A gentleman who has recently re turned froM England, relate's an an eedote df Mr. SpurgeOu that is too good to be lost: The great preaeher:had for his theme one day,thepOwerofin 7 dividual personal effort; and to illus trate it, he told a:StOry Of a "Yankee," as Mr. ,Sphrgeoji called him, who boasted that he; cOnld whip tbe 'entire English 'nation himself. "And how conid you do it?" "I would take one Englishman at a time • world whip him, and then I would ! take another, and so I would go along till I had whiPPed the entire nation." At the close of the serdion Mr.Spurgoan, the relater of the anecdote, and several friends, retired into i vestry. Soon there came in a tall, Jean,' leneaced, solemn looking, riutu, who hailed from the State of Maine. He presChted to Mr. Spurgeon a letter ofintroddetion, and was welcomed oy thepreacher.-H_ Soon Mr. Spurgeon addressed the new corner by saying-" Well niy AMeri• can.friend, ho'W do you like My MlLS tration Of individual po w er, drawn from your countryman ?" . 44 01 y," said the member from the Pine Tree State, "I was well pleased With it,tecauSeitWas so true," and this vas said'viththe ut most solemnity of tone .and gravity of manner. "So true, so true," said Mr. S.; "what do you 'Mean, sir?" "I knew a Yankee that did that once," was the reply. "And what was his name?" Mr. Spurgeon asked; to which the Yankee, answeredL:-"The name, sir, was George WaShington; perhaps you've heard of him." Mr. Spurgeon was' dumb for a moment ; he then ,joined in a hearty laugh,aud alloWed "the Yankee" was too 'much for him. A Sixour,Au C4 - I , Abirry.--The La- Fayette (Ind,) papers give the partic iffars of &distressing calamity that de= eurred a - few miles south of, that city last week.. A young man wa.sso affec ted at:the sight Of a fearful gash, made by an axe:in the foot of his brother; that findhig himself about to, swoon;' he started. fbr the adjoining room for some camphor that was placed, upon the, mantle piece above a blazing fire• Just as he attempted to reach the camphor .he fainted i - trid fell into the fire, whero he remained until his 0 - roanS• attracted the.ktention. of the p er sonsaaloter.-hrbotn., .lie was burned in such a terrible :manner that no hopes a re entertained of recovery. Mi.MES Dr. Johnson made short work with the tough question of freewill. "Sir, said be to Boswell, "we know our will is free, and there's an end on't." "is the sense of smelling more pleasing than the sense of tasting ?" was the subject up before a western de bating society in a bar-room. Uncle Joe was the last one to speak upon the negative, and all were anxious to hear him deliver himself. Walking up to the barkeeper, he called out for a hot whiskey punch, and drank it off with a great gusto ; then, turning to his oppo nents, be handed the enipty glass to his leading disputant,. ap'd thundered out "Now smell it, you variniiit !" It is need less to add that Uncle` Joe '9)i-ought down the house," and also the decision for the negative. . . NOT SO Bio.—A hunter, narrating iiis hair breadt - h, escapes to an add - tiring au dience, said : "I once had two great balls lodgell'in my stomach." "Pistol balls" asked one, "Ah, musket balls, then." "No," returned the narrator, "they were as large as my fist." "Why, you don't mean to say they were cannon balls? ericlaltped one of his hearers with diitende& eyes. "No." "Why. what werOhey then r "Cod-fish balls," returned the hunter , with 13' grin.

Some of the company are said to be there, consulting with the Admin istration.
