The following is an extract from an appeal irtiictt was made to the Italians on behalf of Hungary: “Hungary is reduced to misery; the future ally of Italy is dying of famine. After a drought tmexampled in history, the country situated on ™ e hanks of the Tiza remains with its crops destroyed, its stock starved, and its ground **?“• The district known as the «Region of Plenty,’ of Hungary—it was, indeed, of Eu- I rope—was last summer like a desert, a barren j plain, dotted with the carcases of dead animals. At this moment there are not in that district "™c horses, homed cattle, sheep, or pigs. At first the cattle were fed on the crops,which, growing only a few inches high, and producing no grain, were useless for harvest. When they i ■were exhausted there was nothing to fall back ?'^ le^oc fc which had survived the disease that had raged for two seasons then perished of starvation. The turn of the men came next, -the last year’s harvest had failed, and so the j Bupply of provisions was scanty even before i . the end of the spring. In a country the sole oc cupation of which is agriculture, such a failure "was equal to a general famine. All in want,local i charity was soon exhausted, whole villages left Hieir homes to seek for work and a mouthful of bread. Citieß and societies alike' asked, but asked in vain, for a permission to do that which any good Government would have hastened to initiate. At length, even the Austrian press against the. governmental apathy. Who,-’ it aske’d, “is to pay the taxes, if the soil is uncultivated, and the people die off?” After this the' Minister was compelled to move; cut, instead of help, he ordered in inquiry. 111 tba hands of Government agents, this that the loss of crops alone It was 315,000,000 francs in the year. snimsterwcmirt 7 - ® x P ected that after this the of indemnity .' 1 S**«’«**« later for a bill ■ assembled.

From the Government we have nothing to hope. Austria rather tries to turn this misery to her advantage.” When a clean wet finger is passed round the brim of a goblet a pleasing vibration is pro duced, and the sound is purer, more musical, than when the glass is struck. Any air can be played in the compass of an octave; thus, eight goblets will make a set—or, better still, twelve will' extend to an octave and a half. The best form of goblet is the bell shape, uncut, and having a foot. The goblets must vary in size; the large ones forming the bass notes, and the smaller the treble. If the tones of the glasses are required to be very correct, they must be selected and compared with the notes of mu sical strings, minute variations being readily corrected by. placing more or less water in each goblet. Thus tuned, make a mark to where the water reaches, in order to save the trouble of future tuning. Now fix the glasses about an inch apart in an oblong tray, and they are complete to perform upon. Clean the hands from grease with soap and pumice stone, so that the fingers may be more sensitive to touch. Wet them frequently, and draw them over the glasses, according to the sound or musical note requirt d, and by passing them rapidly from brim to brim harmony is readily produced. Though such instruments are now rarely seen, we may infer, from what Goldsmith says in the "Vicar of Wakefield,” that they were in use a century ago. “They talk,” says Goldsmith, "of nothing but high life and other fashionable topics, such as pictures, taste, Shakspeare, and the musical glasses.” The Queen of England is said to be writing her memoirs. The London Review says: "The first publication from the Royal pen was issued, we believe, in 1834, when the Princess Alex andria Victoria was in her sixteenth year. It was a small volume of poetry—a mere pamph let—and was only distributed amongst the im mediate members of the Royal circle. A copy was sold at the sale of the library of the Prin cess Elizabeth about two years since. That her Majesty is engaged, upon a literary under taking connected with the history of her reign has certainly been stated in various Continental journals, which, upon all matters relative to the proceedings of royalty in this country, appear to possess some secret sources of information not open to the home journals.” ' A Paris letter in the Independence of Brus sels says “the Sultan is now having executed in Paris, by the most eminent sculptors, twenty four animals—lions, tigers, elks, horses and bulls—destined to ornament the gardens of the splendid palace which is built at the Sweet Waters. All the animals will be of natural size; fourteen of them will be cast in bronze, and afterward undergo a bath of gilding, and ten will be in Carrara marble. There is a particu larity attached to the production of the elk. Only one animal of the hind exists in France; it belongs to the Baron de Rothschild, and it has been, therefore, necessary to apply to the illustrious banker for permission to visit it. That was graciously granted, and MM. Rouil lard and Esler are about to proceed to the Cha teau of Ferrieres, where the elk is kept in an enclosed park. PIANOS. PIANOS. JLD, and Chestnut. Frenchwomen we know are, as a rule, very quick and ready with their, answers. One of them was last week on the point of starting for Austria, where passports are still required. The official document was on the table. Now Madame de B—— is not only twenty-five years of age, but her intimate friends assert that she has been twenty-five for many years. A visi tor calling to take leave, inquisitive as Parisians are apt to be, took up the passport, and read the fatal “ nee 18—,” a date which reduced the twenty-five to an absurdity. " Ah, mon cher,” said Madame de B——, taking the paper, “don’t look at that passport, it is an old one.” A rather ludicrous incident occurred the other night, when the Paris students went to 'serenade Gqorges Sand on acconnt of the suc cess of “Le Marquis de Villmer.” In the ex citement of the moment the lady appeared on the balcony in her nightcap, which was not be coming, and, indeed,-caused her to be taken for the concierge, come out to send the crowd away. . Under this impression some speeches little complimentary to the authoress were uttered by the students, and, finally, a chorus of “ II porie son bonnet” was sung by thousands of voices. Lately two broadsheets were posted on the gates and doors of the Roman Catholic churches in Dublin. Both are signed “ Sarcedos;” one is headed “ Letters of His Holiness Pius IX, on the American War,’’and the other “ Letters of John Mitchell, William Smith O’Brien,John Martin, and ‘ Sarcedos,’ on the American War.” Their object is to discourage Federal enlistments in Ireland. The export of English hooks to the States of America fell from 11-10,000 worth in 1859 to less than half that value in 1861; and the re i turns now published show that in 1862 it was little over £50,000. The export to Australia has also fallen off considerably. The export of English hooks to France has risen greatly. In 1859 it only amounted to £9,569; in 1862 it was £16,355. ' i A remarkable death, from lock-jaw has oc- I curred in London. A man was driving his horse and cart, when he smacked his whip, the : thong returning and striking him on the cheek, i The place became irritated; at the expiration of j a week lock-jaw set in; and all the skill of the | surgeons at Westminister Hospital failed to. i prevent a fatal result. The will of Mr. John Moritz Oppenhelm, of New Cannon street, London, merchant, and of Hamburg, Lepsic, and New York, was proved in London, under £250,000 personalty in Great Britain. There is a bequest of £l,OOO to Louis Kossuth; “as a trifling mark of respect, and in admiration of his wisdom, skill and patriot ism.”. Mr. Thomas Luders, of Paris, proposes the use of steel bands as a substitute for leather for driving machinery. The metallic bands are to inn upon wooden or iron pulleys, covered with two or three folds of leather. The ends are either brazed or laced together with leathern thongs, the holes being in the latter case bushed with soft metal. It appears from a table published by the Moniteur de Boulogne that the Italian army now consists of 400,000 men, namely: 22,000 royal carbineers, 30,OOObersaglieri, 275,000 in fantry, 24,000 cat-airy, 36,000 artillery, 23,000 engineers and men belonging to the baggage and ambulance department.

US. The United States Christian Commission has seized the present golden opportunity of rest for the Army to extend its work for the good of the Soldiers. STATIONS have been multiplied, each with Its chapel and store tents,, free writing tables, and clothing, comforts and reading matter for gra tuitous distribution. . VOLUNTARY DELEGATES, in numbers greater than ever before, have been sent to preach the Gospel at the stations and in regiments, bat teries and camps without Chaplains, distribute reading matter and stores, and labor for the good of the Soldiers. A PERMANENT FIELD AGENCY has been sufficiently extended to establish stations and superintend the work. THE BLESSING OF GOD rests signally on all parts of the work. Many thousands hare been cheered* benefited and eared. Still a large pan of the Army remains unreached, and double the number, both of stations and delegates, are needed to meet the urgent demand lor them. The Chns'ian Commission offers to the people a perfectly reliable and wonderfallv economical channel to reach the entire army In all its various fields. The money given goes in fall measure, in benefits for body and soul, directly to the Soldiers; and stores also. Immediately from the hands of delegates from home, who add words and deeds of kii dness to the gifts when bestowed. Let the people giro the Money and Stores, and the work will be done. The large corps of Delegates now in the field will serve as a grand corps of relief when.the armies shall move and battles be fonght, and the greater their number the more prompt effec tive will be the relief they shall render. Lei not the present work langnish. Wait not for the cry ol the wounded and dying before pro yiding relief. Send now and send abundantly both money and stores, and the soldiers* blessing shall be upon you. Send money to JOSEPH PATTERSON, Trea surer, at Western Bank, and stores to GEORGE H.
