    THE gAZESTB.
Foreign News.
The U. S. mail steamship Pacific, arrived
at New-York on Sunday, brings Liverpool
dates to the 28th ultimo. We find the
following items of interest in the papers
brought by her:
ENGLAND. —The elections are now over,
with the exception of five vacancies still to
be tilled, namely, Orkney and Wick in Scot
land, and Tyrone and Donegal in Ireland.
It is, even with the returns before us, a dif
ficult matter to foretell what majority—for
majority they will have —the Derby ministry
are able to command in the House. The
classified lists, published by the leading pa
pers, differ so widely that they be regarded
only a mere approximation to truth ; and the
terms Ministerial and Opposition in tfio pre
sent contest embiace so many shades of po
litical opinion that we cannot indicate with
an approach to certainty the numerical force,
on any division that would involve the fate of
the Government. The Globe sets down the
number at—Liberals '229, Derhy-D'lsraelites
289, doubtful 30. The Morning Chronicle,
Ministerials 290, Whigs and more advanced
Liberals 310, Liberal-Conservatives, or P(.el
ites, between 50 and 00.
MINISTERIAL CHANGES. —It is again rumored
that changes are about to be made in the
Foreign office. Lord Malmesbury will, it is
said, succeed Lord Canilev at Paris, the latter
going to Constantinople, *and the portfolio of
Foreign Affairs will then be confided to Lord
Canning, better known iu- Sir Stratford Can
ning.
MISCELLANEOUS. —On the 24th the subma
rine cable between Donaghadee, Ireland, and
Portpafrick, Scotland, was laid down success
fully, but was not put in connection with
wires on land.
ELECTION RIOTS JK IRELAND. —In Ireland
deplorable scenes have taken place at the elect
ion in county Clare, South of Ireland, the
military were called out and several lives sacri
ficed. On Thursday, polling for Sir J. F. Fitz
gerald, CorneliusO'linen, and Col.Yanderleur,
at Six Mile bridge, about seven miles from
Limerick, when a riot arose between the vo
ters on the respective sides. No clear state
ment of the affray can be had, but the most
probable version of the story is, that the
country people threw stones at a party of
Lord Conyngham's tenants who were pro
ceeding to the polls under an escort of mil
itary, and thai some of their missiles striking
the soldiers, they fired a volley among the
crowd, and killed five men on the spot, lie
sides wounding five or six others —three mor
tally..
Twelve shots were fired by tjie F.oldiofs gnd
ail took effect. It is asserted that no orders
were given to tire. A jury had been empan
i tolled : but, at latest accounts had not re
turned a verdict.
Most of the' Irish provincial papers that
have come to hand teem with accounts of
election outrages. At Builinna, the police
had to charge the crowd with the bayonet.
At Roscommon and elsewhere, the same
disturbances took place. The outrages
an- much regretted by the moderate men ol'
all parties.
FRANCE.—I. mis Xupoh on returned to Paris
op priday evening, the 2bd ult., from Stras
bourg. He drove in an open carriage, be
tween two lines of troops, about the U xile
vards, the Rue Royale, and the Chumps
Klysee, to the Barriere de I'Etoilo. llis re
ception is described as having been extremely
(ordial on the part of the Parisians. Ex
tensive preparations are already making for
!ii journey to the South. The Min i ipal
Council of Montauban have voted 20,u00
francs; Rosfjnna, 1U,U00; Bordeaux, 50,000;
and Panda a like sum to give him a welcome.
For some time past, the President has been
arranging his household on quite un imperial
footing. Gen. Roquet is to lie Grand Marsh
al of the palace: Col. De Beville, Palace
Prefect : Count fined.iochi, Grand Master of
the Ceremonies; Col. Fieurvi Grand pquer-
I V. See,
It trapspj;-, r that new titles of nobility
continue to ire conferred, without any public
announcement of tlmm. The I'utrii has ta
ken to styling the President " His Highness
Moja&eignour the prince President-,' but all
the opposition journals omit this handle to
hie name. Nevertheless, these straws are
taken as an indication that the wind again
sets in an imperial direction. An addition
al subject of gossip is h-und in tin- u' proa h
ir.g fete on the 15th of August, the birthday
nf the Emperor, which occasion as many
reminiscences of the Empire as can will le*
revived. One of the. most impressive parts
of the ceremonial was to have been the inau
guration of Napoleon's tomb in the invalids,
but the works cannot be completed i;i season.
M. Arnrand Renin, editor and proprietor
of the " Debate," was sent fur, the other day.
by the Minister of Police, and reprimanded
for having announced the changes about to
take place in the Ministry The Minister did
not deny the accuracy of the statement, but
declared that Government would not permit
the Press fo announce any changes in the
Cabinet till the official decree had appeared.
The approaching marriage of the President
is regarded in Paris as a fact beyond doubt.
The Truly, however, is now said not to bi the
Princess'de Yasa, but another Baden princess,
grand daughter of Eugene Beauharnais and
of Don Pedro,
Another body of Emigrants sent to Cali
fornia with the proceeds of the Ingot lottery,
have just left Paris for Havre, and are to
embark immediately on board the ship Ma
gellan.
The decree of the 22d January continues
to he rigorously enforced. Placards are post
ed, announcing for sale the forests belonging
to the Due d'Aumalc, in the departments of
the Ardennes, Mouse, and Aisne.
Accounts from the departments describe
the ravages occasioned by the late storms.
In the Aisne particularly, a hurricane had
caused great destruction ol property.
ITALV.—The Turin Gazette contradicts, as
absurd, the rumor that the island ol Sardinia
is to be sold to England.
The Milan Gazette quotes a letter from
Rome, which states that public attention re
gards as suspicious the numerous fortifica
tions which the French are constructing
around the castle of St. Angelo, as also the
circumstances that Gen. Levuilliart, under the
pretext of instructing the pontifical artillery
men, has withdrawn them from Civita A ;<■-
cbia and the other defences on the coast, all
of which he has occupied with French ar
tillery. On the other hand, it is asserted
that a communication has been made to the
Austrian Government that the French gar
rison will quit Rome within a year.
Grape blight has again appeared in many
parts of Upper Italy and Tuscany. La Sicily,
we learn from the Catania Journal, it has to
tally ceased its ra^g^os.
PRUSSlA.—Considerable sensation has been
excited in Berlin by the confiscation, for three
successive days, of the New Prussian (or
Rreutz) Journal and it? subsequent declara-
tion that it would cease to appear till the j
courts of law shall have decided upon the le
gality of its seizure. The Journal had made
itself" obnoxious to the French, Austrian and
Russian envoys, and had gained many ene
mies by its plain speaking. The crown
j lawyers have since sanctioned the confisca
| tioji. :
I The National Zeitung, of Berlin, has an
j article on the treaty just concluded between !
Switzerland and the United States, in which '
I it remarks that the impolitic London proto- ;
col regarding Neufchatel, has hastened the I
period for the commencement of American ,
interference in the affairs of Europe.
We lcaru from Berlin that Mr. Barnard,
! the American Minister in Berlin, has succee- j
ded in procuring the release of several Prus
sians who had naturalized as citizens of the ;
the United States ; but on their return for a 1
j short time to their native country, wore ar- !
rested on a charge of evading the military ■
! conscription. j
Cholera is severe at Ostrowe. On the 19th >.
j ultimo, a fire took place at Kalisch, which j
destroyed GO houses. Cholera had previous- j
ly committed great ravages in the town.
Several Poles were lately arrested in the
I Duchy of Poscn, on the charge of conspiracy j
against the Emperor Nicholas.
I The King of Prussia and Emperor of j
Austria are to have an interview in the end j
of September.
Items of News.
'BARN BURNT. —The barn of Abraham Lan- j
dis, iu Ephrata township, was entirely con- j
; sullied by fire, on Saturday morning last, ;
with the whole crop of grain, &c. It is sup- j
| posed to have been set on fire. The building '
was insured in the Lancaster County Mutual
. Insurance Company. — Lancusttr litjmbllean, j
Some four hundred Latter Day Saints were |
assembled on the 12th of July, in Sunderland j
Hall, Newport, England, for a festival. Sud
denly the ceiling of the one half of the hall
fell upon tliem with a terrible crash, causing j
a frightful panic, Wonderful to relate no j
one was injured, and the Saints at once at- j
j tributed their escape to a miracle.
A SHARK CAUGHT IN THE DELAWARE. —Chi
Tuesday morning last, as two fishermen were j
engaged in their vocation of sturgeon-fishing, j
near Ten Mile Pqint, between Tacony and j
Bristol, they found, on drawing their net. I
that they had captured a shark of the shovel
nose species, full eight feet long, and weigh- !
ing about 500 lbs. The monster was t6wed j
to Bristol, where it was sold ly the fishermen :
for the small sum of one dollar Such visi- !
tors are extremely rare in the Delaware.
THF. HOUSE TRADE OK THE \YEST.— -Horses
are carried by Railroad from Cincinnati to j
New York or Boston in five din s, and for the
-urn of 8!3 e;u h. The omnibus proprietors
of A '-w York are supplied front Cincinnati.
The demand for good horses, says the Cin
cinnati Gazette, continues considerably ahead j
!of the supply. The Mexican war emptied 1
the pasture fields and staldCb of Ohio, Nidi
ana, Kentucky and Illinois, and caused a .
rise in stock, of fifty jfer cent.
The Cholera at C'lmmberaburg. —The Chain
liersburg papers of last week state that up to
that time there had been twelve or fourteen
deaths in that place, of,cholera, or some other
disease equally fatal, for the physicians have i
not agreed to call it the real cholera, although
it hurries off its victims as speedily . Among 1
those who have died, are George Heck, Mrs.
Ely, Geo. Hildebrandt, Mrs. Ncsbit, Mrs.
Amelia Smith, and Jas. Harden.
The New York Crystal Palace Fair is post
poned till the spring of 1853, This project
drags very heavily. In all probability the
palace will be like the one in the tale of i
Aladdin-—a palace in the air without any
foundation. The mechanics' fairs are worth
all the second-hand crystal palace exhibitions,
which must fall ijifinitelv short of the original j
display,
Jlgaenftry. —Our cold nights and crude ve
• getables arc liable to produce this complaint. !
Its attack can readily.be perceived in its in- :
cipieitt stage bv a sensation of burning at the !
! pit of tjie itomach, produced by morbid a id ;
duhitss and heavy pains in the abdomen, the
result of iufiainmationof the intestines. Car- j
' Initiate >.f ammonia. o supercarbonate of soda. !
followed by a gentle cathartic, we are told,
will reipliiy avert the attack, and save three j
weeks of physicians'visits. —A'. V. Rxprrjs.
ROBBER SHOT IN PEKRV COLNTV. —Three j
men attempted to rob the house of David
Pf'outz, in Pfoutz's Valley, a few miles east
of Miilerstown, a few weeks ago. A young j
man. living with Mr. Rfoutz at the time, shot
one cf the robbers in the side. The parti
then left, taking with tlieui the one who was
shot, but in the morning the latter was dis
covered not far from the house of Mr. P.,
where it seems be had lain all night, He
wu3 taken to the lionse, apd there died, on
Monday. He said his name was Samuel F.
Stilt, and also gave the names of his com
panions.
Robbery.- -On the 2nth of July, u
most extensive robbery was committed at
Washington, D. C., by a party iff men known
as "Representatives,' who appropriated to!
themselves the whole of the books received bv i
the members of the last four Congresses,
One member of Congress said—" ft was a
fact well known to the country, that members
of Congress sold the which they re
ceived at a less sum than their original cost,
and if a committee should be appointed to in
vestigate this subject, he would stand ready
to prove it." This practice of voting them
selves books, to be paid for out of the public
treasury, is a most scandalous affair: If tljo-j
members want books, why dyn't they pay for
them out of their own pockets t

HILLSDALE, MICH , Dec. 10, 1549.
DEAR Pin:—lmmediately on the receipt of yourCHER
RV PncTOBAi., I carried a bottle to an acquaintance of
mine who was thought to he near Ins end with quick
consumption. He was unable to rise from his bed, and i
was extremely feeble. His friends believed he must j
soon die, unless relief could be obtained for him, and I j
induced them to give your excellent medicine a trial 1
immediately left town for three weeks, and you may :
judge of my surprise on tny return, to meet him in the j
street on my way home from the cars, and find he had j
entirely recovered. Four weeks from Ihe day he com
menced taking your medicine, he was at work at his
arduous trade of a blacksmith.
There are other cases within my knowldedge, where
the CHERRY PECTORAL has been singularly successful,
but none so marked as this. Verv truly yours
% G. \V. UNDERWOOD.

obligations to you for the restoration of my lieuilh, 1 send I
you a report of my case, which you are at liberty to
publish for the benefit of others. Last autumn I took a
bad cold, accompanied by a severe cough, and made use
of many medicines without obtaining relief. 1 was
obliged tc give up business, frequently raised blood, and
could get no sleep at nigin. A friend gave me a bottle of
your CHERRY PECTORAL, the use of which 1 immediately
commenced according to directions. I have just pur
chased the fifth bottle, and am nearly recovered I now
sleep well, my cough has ceased, and all by the use of
your valuable medicine. E- S- STONE, A M ,

The WARES manufactured at this establish -

cure the patronage of tiie public, from the face
of the material being inexhaustible, and con
nected with the concern by a lease of a number
of years.
The business of Potting has been carried on
successfully at this stand by myself and father
for over 30 years, which is of itself sufficient ad

Smoke House, and other out buildings theieon

premises, Apple, Peach and Plum Trees in full

The store stand is undoubtedly one of the
best in the country, being situate en the great
avenue (the Centre and Kishacoqnillas Turn
pike,) on which hundreds of thousands of bush
els of grain are annually taken to market; the
new turnpike from Miiheim, in Centre county,
intersects the Centre and Kisnacoquillas road
between the store an-l tavern, and this, now
nearly finished, \yill largely increase the busj
iiess—so that few places offer more inducements
to an enterprising business man than this.
The location i:j other respects is highly favor
able—being s:x miles from Lewistown, but a
short distance from Brown's well known Mills,
convenient to Schools and Churches, and an un
surpassed valley beyond, whose thrifty popula
tion daily pass th.e door. It was last occupied
by Wm. J. Qlass, deceased.

cessary, as persons desirous of purchasing will
of course call and examine for themselves.
