Quebec,June 19ih.—The Anglo S.-ixon hav

details of the Rattle of Magento- It appears
on the 4ill hist, the French troops were
under orders to cross the Ticino at Turhegn
The Emperor in his official bulletin says this
order was well executed, though the enemy'in
great forceofferc.il a determined resistance. The
road way was narrow, and during two hours,
thej Imperial Guards sustained, unsupported,
the shock of the enemy. Meantime Gen. M’-
Miihon made himself master of M a gen to, and
aftjsr the ffiost sanguinary conflict, the enemy
was.repulsed at every point.
It is said that the Austrians, in the precipita
ting of their evacuation of Milan, left their
cannon and treasure behind. The Emperor
says that the troops have captured 12.000 Aus

Origin ojt. tre.Co.r xxa’s Jdbt.— A gentle
woman in London after having buried six hus
bands, found a gentleman hardy enough to
make her a wife once more, For several months
their happiness- was.-mutual, ..a circumstance
which seemed to pay no greut comulinjent to
the former partners of her bed, who, as she
saiii. hud disgusted her by their sottishness and
infidelity. la the view of knowing' thereat
character of his amorous mate, the gentleman
began frequently to absent himself, to'return
at lap- hours, and when he did return to appear
as if intoxicated. At. first reproaches, but af
terwards menaces. Were the consequence of
tins conduct. The gentleman persisted, and
seemed every day- more addicted.to
his bottle. One evening, when she magined
him dead drunk,she uhsewed a leaden weight
from one of the sleeves of her gownj and hav
ing melted it, sb ■ approached her husband, who
pretended still to be asleep, in order to put it
into his ear through a pipe. Convinced of her
wickedness, the gentleman started up and seized
her; when, haying procured assistance, he se
emed her until the 'morning, and conducted be
fore a magistrate, who committed her to prison.'
The bodies of her six hn-bands were dug up.
and as marks of yjolpuco were still discoverable
upon each of them, the proof of her guilt ap
peared so strong upon her trial, that she was
condemned and executed. Tu this circumstance
is England indebted for that useful regulation
by which no coipse can be interred in the king
dom without a legal inspection. \
Thk Tounado in Morgan County —A cor
n spojideut of the Springfield Journal of May
3J, writes from Jacksonville the annexed oc
count of the recent great tornado in Morgan
tounty: .*• Mys. Route, one of the killed, was
blown from a window, and carried a distance
of over a hundred yards, and when found,
scarcely n particle of clothing hud remained
upon- her body. Estella, daughter of George
Vauzant, was- blown from the same house into
the cistern, whore she was found drowned. A
little boy was carried by the wind for some dis
tance, and when found in a tree, with his ami
broken, exclaimed, in childish ijjnoceuce. “Pu,
when I whs up there ever so high. I sawn great
big wagon fiy over my head.” This wagon be
longed to Jesse Henry, Esq , and though made
with heavy iron axles, not a vestige of it has
been found. Houses were desiroyed, ami not a
piece of timber left to tel] where they originally
stood. Barns were twisted drum their l\ muta
tions as trough they werj so ninny sacks of
feathers end deposited, in one instance, a half
a di.k-e from its former locality. The school
house| of the neighborhood was lifted from its
position, and turned around ns completely as
thougp directed by an experienced architect.—
Horses tind cattle were carried nearly a mile,
and we are told that .one "poor beast hud her
horns literally driven into her head. Stock of
every description could be seen for miles around,
with mutilated heads, broken limbs, ami some
with rails driven info their- bodies, writhing
riiost terribly in the agonies of death.’’

up Those Who have no need for the nrti.de at
all, are buying n,t such prices ns to make it al
most impossible for poor people, who really
need it tor oread, to procure it. The Courant
thinks the damage to the cereal crops greatly
