had been previously ignorant. . But, in the ease of Prince Napoleon, the surprise .was that-a man whom the public had 'loi% .known, and ■always set down as a stupid sensualist,' should suddenly; and*, without any previous yarning, turn Out a great orator, whose eloquence had. in it Something so fresly and genuineiapd for cible that it recalled tl}e: ineulofy of tlic most glorious days of the French 'tribune. I write of this celebrated oration now only from recol lection; and, of course, I did not hear it spoken. I say “of course,” because the rules of the French Senate, unlike those of the Corps ' Legislatif, forbid the presence of anystrangers during the debates. But those who heard it spoke enthusiastically of the force and freedom with which it was delivered; the sudden, im pulsive fervor of occasional outbursts; and the wonderful-readiness with which the speaker, when interrupted, as he was very frequently, passed from one topic to another in order to dispose of the interruption, and replied to sudden challenges with even prompter re partee.' No bbe could read the speech without admiring the extent and variety of the political knowledge it displayed; the prodigality of illus tration it flung over every argument; the tlirdl ing power of some of its rhetorical “phrases;” the tone of sustained and passionate eloquence which made itself heard all throughout; and, perhaps above all, that flexible, spontaneous readiness of language and resource to which every interruption, every interjected question only acted like a spur to a generous horse, <Salling forth new and greater, and wholly un expected eflorts. In the French Senate I need, perhaps, hardly tell my readers, it is the habit to allow the utmost license of interrup tion, and Prince Napoleon’s audaciouß on slaught on the reactionists and the parti pritre called out even an unusual amount of im patient utterance. Those who interrupted took little by their motion. The energetic Prince tossed off his assailants as a bull flings the dogs away on the points of his horns. “Our principles are not yours,” scornfully exclaims a Legitimist nobleman—the late Marquis dela Rochejaquelein, if I remember rightly. “Youi principles are not ours !” .vehemently replies the orator. “No, nor are your antecedents ours. Our pride is that our fathers fell on the battle-field resisting the foreign invaders whom your father's brought in for the subjuga tion of France!” The speech is studded with sudden replies_egually fervid and telling. In deed, tlje whotS-material of the oration is rich, strong, and.gen.uine. There seems to he in the eloquence of the French Chambers, of late, a certain want of freshness and natural power. I do not speak of Berryer—he had no such want. But'Thiers—by far the ablest living debater who speaks only from preparation—with all his wonderful science and skill as an artist in de bate, appears to be always somewhat artificial and elaborate. Jules Favre, witli his exqui sitely modulated tones, and his unrivalled choice of words, hardly ever appears to me to rise to that lieiglit-wliere the orator, lost in his 1 subject, compels his hearers to lose themselves I also in it. Now, I cannot help thinking that the two or three really great speeches made by Prince Napoleon had in them more of the na tive fibre, force and passion of oratory than those of almost any Frenchman since the days of Mirabeau. However that maybe, the effect wrought on the public mind was unmistakable. Plon-plon had startled Europe. lie en tered the palace of Luxembourg on that memorable day without any repute but-that of a dullard and a sensualist; -he came out of it a recognized orator. I have been told that he lay hack in his open carriage and smoked his cigar, as he drove home from the Senate, to all appearance the same indolent,sullen, heavy,apa thetic personage whom all Paris had previously known and despised. v- THE PIUNCE’B SPEECH AT AJACCIO. At last came the celebrated Ajaccio speech. The Emperor had gone to visit Algeria; the Prince went to deliver an oration at the inau l guration of a monument to Napoleon 1., at ! Ajaccio. ’-.The speech was, in brief, a powerful, I passionate' denunciation of Austria, and the I principles which Austria represented before ! Sadowa taught her a lesson of tardy wisdom. I Viewed as the exposition of a professor of his -1 tory, one might fairly acknowledge the Prince’s speech to have illustrated eloquently some solid ; and stern truths, which Europe would have done I well even then to consider deeply.

A distinguished KKW PUBUCATIOSN. Ihe Oslaxy for August. The Angust Galaxy opens witk 'Mr. Charles Reade, who is fast learning tlie-Wictor Hugo Tices of short paragraphs, owliali; sententious sess, short instalments, and.(interrupted catas trophes. All his talent is unequal to making the present scene of violently joined improba bilities seem in the least like real life: on the other band, he has never exceeded the love talk at the close of the eleventh chapter, when draco, after having been frigidly wooed by her aristocrat, is miraculously dropped into the arms of her plebeian: She knocked once with : her hands. She tried to knock again; but the , door flew sud denly open, and, in the vain endeavor to knock again, her helpless body, like a pillar of snow, fell forward; but Henry Little caught her di rectly, and then she clutched him feebly, by mere instinct. He uttered a cry of love and alarm. She opened her filmy eyes, and stared at him. Her cold neck and white cheek rested on his bare and glowing ann. • The moment he saw it was really Grace Car den that had fallen inanimate into his anns, Henry Little uttered a loud cry of love and terror, and, putting his other sinewy arm under her, earned her swiftly off to his fires, uttering little moans of fear and pity as he. went; he laid her down by the fire, and darted to the forge, and blew it to a white heat; and then darted back to her, and kissed her cold hands with pretty moans of lovq; and then blew up the other fires; and then back to lier, and patted her hands, and kissed them witli all his soul, and drew them to his bosom to warm them; and drew her head to his heart to warm her ; and all with, pretty moans of love, and fcur, and pity; and the tears rained out of nis eyes at sight of her helpless condition, and the tears fell upon her brow, and her. hands; and all this vitality and love soon electrified her; , she opened her eyes, and smiled faintly, but such a smile, and murmured “It’s you,” and closed her eyes again. Then he panted out, “Yes, it is I—a friend. I won’t hint you—l won’t tell how I love you any more—only live. Don’t give way. You shall marry who you like. You shall never be thwarted, nor worried, nor made loVe to again; only be brave and live; don’t rob the world ot the only angel that is in it. Have mercy, and live! I’ll never ask more of you than that. Oh, how pale! lam frightened. Cursed fires, have you no warmth in you?” And he was at the bellows again. And the next moment back to her, imploring her, and sighing over her, and saying the wildest, sweetest, drollest things, such as omy those who love can say, iu moments when hearts are bursting. How now? Her cheek that was so white is pink—pinker—red—scarlet. She is blushing. She had closed her eyes at Love’s cries. Per haps she was not altogether unwilling to hear that divine music of the heart, so long as she was not bound to reply and remonstrate —be- ing insensible. But now she speaks faintly, but clearly, “Don’t be. frightened. I promise not to dier ; Pray don’t cry so.” Then she put out her hand to him, and turned her head away, and cried herself, gently, but plen teously. In reply to recent applications for his auto graph, Mr. Beade sends word that this number of the Galaxy contains a facsimile of his writing, such as it is, and his sentiments into the bargain. This being printed and on sale for one shilling, Mr. Reade announces that he will never again pen an autograph for any lady or gentleman with whom he has not the honor to be acquainted. The facsimile note is to protect the publishers of the Galaxy in their moral right of copy, against the present “ini quitous, partial, barbarous and brainless state of law.” Mr. Justin McCarthy, editor of the Star, whose style, being cultivated for the daily jour nal in England, appears to be all sufficient for periodical belles letlres in America, furnishes an excellent word-picture of THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN—PHILADELPHIA, JULY 19,1869. American, Mr, Solon Shingle, has coined his philosophy, into a word of wisdom—“lt’s no use gettlnlmad about it,” and now this, word, begins to grow in your uncultivated soul. You ’ decide thqt henceforth you‘wil not lose your temper as you inspect the mystic pageants pf human; destiny. In this frame of -mind you. step lightly, softly, through the stately halls, following the lead of, your hosts through lines of gorgeously uniformed soldiers, the Cent Gardes of the" new - Empire, whose burnished muskets reflect the blaze of a thousand lights. In the centre of the great dining-hall, at the middle of the long table, sit the Emperor and Empress, facing one another, and on either side of them dukes and duch esses. envoys and envoyesses, all. of high de gree ; and if you are nothorn with the blood of all the Howards in your veins, sit as near them as you can, because you are .'.watchful of the doings of such personages. They are used to it; tliey behave well; they eat like Chris tians—daintily ; and they drink delicately, and they talk agreeably with those about them, us you do. But they and you eat off of solid sil ver plates warmed to a true degree,, six, seven, eight, nine, ten courses, perhaps. It is quite su perb,but you begin to believe after the first that eliina is lovelier. But then everybody can have ■ china, and wherein can an Emperor show his superiority if not in ids silver ? He thus shows his superiority here; all is silver., But an Em peror and Empress do not eat to a surfeit.. An hour or so completes the frugal meal,’and then all return as they came, through the lines of glittering Gardes, to the other wing of the house. Sir. C. Desilver, who is-selling out liis retail stock at a sacrifice, sends us a specimen of his i edition of Todd’s. Johnson’s Walker’s Pro nouncing Dictionary. This edition of John son embodies those strange,' opinionated or pedantic definitions (notably those of the words Network, Pensioner, Oats,) which have given such amusement ever since the publication of what the great lexicographer called his “Dix ionary;” at the same time more modernized and impartial readings are iuserted beside them, so that the inquirer’s judgraentis never played upon or left under a false impression, wliile the pronouncing department of the work is a great assistance, and perhaps as far correct and final as the hard subject of prommeiation can be made. Editions of Thackeray. —Messrs. Fields, Os good & Co. iiave redeemed their pledge of issu ing a cheap yet elegant “household” edition of Thackeray in six volumes. The issue is com pleted with “Philip.” The first conception, however, only including his extended novels, much of the most delicate Thackeray literature was lost in the plan; very wisely then, in re sponse to a general and urgent demand, it has been determined to match to this edition all of Thackeray’s miscellaneous writings. These will be reprinted from the latest London edi tion, which is much the fullest yet issued, and will, when finished, be a complete and uniform edition of Thackeray’s works, in a style at once tasteful, and within the reach of all. The edi tion, in a neat green suit embroidered with a a little gold on-the back and side, is good enough for any library. For sale by Turner Bros. Appletons send us the first instalment of a neat pamphlet edition of Thackeray’s minor writings, in the lordly person of magnificent Jeames Yellowplush. The irresistible flunkey will be found at Turner Bros.’ store. Finally, Harpers keep up this impressive Thackeray revival by calling renewed attention to tlieir former edition of the novelist, consist ing of such of his works as have appeared seri ally in tlieir Magazine. We receive, through the same booksellers, “The Newcomes,” with Thackeray’s amusing drawings, and “ Philip,” finely illnstrateiLby F. Walker. Prices 75 and 50 cents. Peteisons's Counterfeit Detector and Na tional Bank Note List, for July 15tli, 1809, has been laid on our table. It contains a list of all the new counterfeits, altered National Bank Notes, rates of discount in all the principal cities, and other valuable information, useful to every person In business. Zell's Popular Encyclopedia and Universal Dictionary. We receive pages of this favorite vehicle of knowledge down to the word Beryl, of which there is an extended definition. Among the engravings we observe a portrait of the late M. Berryer, (occurring in No. 35 of Ctie Enclydpedia), which is a good likeness and one of the best cuts yet issued in the work. The definition of Beard may be mentioned as embodying some quaint items of history, that of Bavaria as being a good gazetteer article, and that of Beauty as a neat settler of some moot questions in {esthetics. The biography of the aforenamed Berryer is clear and succinct. A correspondent of the Allgemeine Zeitung at Nagasaki gives some curious information as . ' the present state of affairs in Japan. He says that although the principal daimios have j ail agreed to abdicate their power in favor of' the Mikado, their acts are not in accordance with their professions, and it is probable that before long Japan will again beplungedinto a civil war as disastrous as that which lias just terminated. Many of the daimios, and Satsuma in particu- ; lar, are deeply involved in debt, notwithstand ing which they continually buy anns and ships in large quantities. The real reason of the submission of the daimios was that the princes of the south, who led .the rebellion against the Tycoon, and eventually conquered him, were unable to agree as to the division of the spoil, and consequently made over the Ty coon’s revenues to the Mikado. Most of these revenues proceed from confiscated property in the north of the island, where many’of the daimios are secret adherents of the Tycoon; and the southern princes knew that if they di vided this property among themselves they would iiot.be able to defend it against their en emies. As it is, the Mikado is totally dependent on the southern daimios, who fimiish him with the funds necessary to carry on the government, and any disputes among them are just as likely to produce a civil war as be fore. Under the new system the Tycoon, or tem poral sovereign, is to be abolished, and a con federation notunlike that which formerly pre vailed in Germany to be created, with the Mi kado, or spiritual sovereign, at its head. This arrangement, though it promises little for the maintenance of order, lias at least one advan tage for European merchants in Japan. Instead of the two sovereigns, with powers and respon sibilities so vague that no European could understand which of them was really respon sible for the due execution of treaties, and the conduct of officials,there willnow be a single government with a tangible head. Europeans may now expect some reform in the system of currency, which lias brought on them so many severe losses. Under the treaties of 1806 the silver coin (boo) was to be 134 grains in weight, nine-tenths of which were to consist of pure silver; but the quantity of silver in the coins actually in circulation has always been much less. The reason of this is that hitherto there lias been, no government mint, the money hav ing been coined under the direction of indi vidual daimios, who, of course, do not consider themselves bound by'treaties. ~ . • .. . v :. —Here is what M. L. Limonin (a disagree able Frenchman) writes to the Paris Jteveil about Ailna Dickinson: “This young lady is passably good-looking, and has considerable fluency in speaking; but, as a general thing, her arguments are illogical in the extreme,and hardly worth listening to.

ART ITEMS. —Thfr city o£ Lyons lias invited architects of : all nations to. a grand competition for the plan ; of a school pfi the fine aitsyWitli a gallery for exhibitions. ' .If our. Philadelphia Academy, which will soon have occasion to . put ,up a building of this sort, Will follow the same plan, we shall have a successful piece of architecture. Whatever may be said of the propriety of en couraging native builders, the first- condition, in the case of an edifice for the fine arts, is that it shall be itself a work of art and an example of the science of building. A badly constructed Lonvrcis laughed at by every fine picture, that is ever hung on its walls. Native architecture will he better served by the example of a learnedly constructed building, than it would he by the mere job of obtaining the contract. In a gallery properly constructed for the exhi bition of pictures, tliefinterior is to be especially plain and modest; one fault to be avoided is where the architecture constantly says, “Gome stare at me,” as in the case of the blazing white capitals in the court of the National Academy at New York, behind which any picture looks black. ■ —Mr. Healy’s portrait of President Grant s well spoken of by European critics. —The number of lady exhibitors in the French Salon this year was 307.

It appears that, dur ing the last fifteen years, these treasures have been increased by no fewer than 43,000 works, consisting of pictures, statues, antiquities, etc. The Louvre, even now that it is all but finished, will not hold these. The Imperial museums in Paris are well supplied, 60 it is resolved that .the works shall be sent to the various museums in the other towns, and thus spread there the taste for art. —We have leamt-the following amusing an ecdote of one of the exhibitors of the last Salon; The artist happened to have a ferocious credi tor, who gave him no peace, and one morn ing, as he came for the twentieth time for his money, our artist said, “I am extremely sorry to he the cause of your losing so much precious time, and to pay for this loss I will take your portrait,” which naturally enchanted him, and in a few hours he had taken a very natural sketch of liis creditor. “It is striking,” he mur mured, “and lam at a loss to express my gratitude.” “Do not try,” replied the artist, “but upon your next visit it will be perfect,and then I will settle your account.” Soon after his creditor left delighted; but hardly had lie gone when the artist went to liis concierge, and banding him the portrait , said, “Keep this care fully, and when the original asks for jne—tell him I am in the..country.” The Array of tlie Tennessee.

Tlie Irlsli Cliui'ca Hill. London, July IT. —The debate on the amended .Irish'Clutch bill was continued until g latq houifthis morning.' - After tire; rejection: of the amendments-proposed by the peers, Dis raeli took the floor and spoke at some length, regretting the repudiation of the .amendments adopted in the House of, Lords. Tho ( Church was not the -.question at issue in the late elec tions. . He thought the agreement of the Lords toread the bifi a seccuid time au. act of inag-, nanlmity, : Considering: the great, majority op? posed .to the measure, and this agreement was only given on the understanding tliat the House: iof .Commons would consider, the amendments adopted in a conciliatory-spirit. He could not understand how the course.,the government had taken could be -reconciled to tlie PxixTlatious. lield out to the House of Lords.: Mr. Gladstone replied to these'remarks, sa; lug that the promise given to the Lords, was that the ainendipents wliich gould : be approved would lie respcrfftdly considered, and he main tained that that pledge had not been violated. 11c had conceded much in deference to the Lords, and they had fulfilled and more than fulfilled ®all jiledges given. ’ [Ciiecrs.l He was certain that if any harm had been done to tiie Church, it„• was by; those, who ’'described the grievous and'enervatiiig effectthat disestablish ment would have on the zeal and life of the religious community. ; li the Cliurch was destitute, of vigor, : the sooner they quit It tiie better. He would make a solemn protest against • these disheartening and degrading convictions, and expressed an humble and confident expectation that in the future the members of the Cliurch would re gard the day of the passage of tills act as the day of their religious.regeneration. Mr. GathorneTlardy took ’ the floor and ac cepted the appeal made to posterity in regard to the lienelicial. effects of the bilk He sup-, ported Mr. Disfacli’s'statcnientS. Jolili Bright' had used threats of a dissolution of Parliament in oitier to keep the party together and coerce the House of Lords. He considered the Lords as a co-ordinate authority, mid thought they had been treated in an unworthy manner.: Mr. Briglit denied that lie bad ever, used threats of a dissolution. His only reference to the subject was what might be, the expression of popular opinion if the subject of concurrent endowment was referred to the nation. He regretted tiie unfounded charge which had been brought forward against him, but which a great majority of the House disbelieved. I. After further debate a committee was ap pointed to draw tip a report embodying the rea sons for disagreement to the amendments pro posed by the Lords. , London, July 17-—lt is said the House of Lords will give up their amendment to the Irish Cliu'rcli bill in regard to concurrent endowment and the Ulster grant, aiid will adhere to the amendment refusing to devote the suiplus pro ceeds of Cliurch property to the relief of un avoidable calamity and suffering, as proposed -in the-origmal: preamble for an appropriation of the fund. ■ ' : ' BUSHIAN PBOTEBBH. Among a race so proverbially shrewd and saving" as the Russians, there is, as may be imagined, no lack of maxims recommending prudence anil economy, from which it is well worth while to select a lew examples. “Measure seven times, and cut once,” might be written above the doorway of every tradesman at the Nijni Fair, and would almost seem to have been suggested by the celebrated Irish pedlar, famous for giving short measure,/wlio, when asked the price of a yard of ribbon, replied, “Well, yer lionuer, that depihds very much upon the length of the yard!” “Do not go into the water without inquiring .for tiie ford,” is a pic turesque version of our “Look before you leap,” calculated to be sufficiently popular in this land of sudden thaws and violent freshets. “Trust in God, luitdo not stumble yourself,” admirably exemplifies that extraordinary mix ture of simple piety and hard-headed shrewd ness which forms the basis of. the Muscovite character. A more unmixed devotion is ex pressed by another proverb very popular among the peasantry: “With God, even across the sea; without Him, not even to the threshold.” “The lialf-kojieck saves the rouble” will lie easily re cognized as a kinsman to our fiuniliar- saying, “Take care of - tiie pence, and the pounds wDI/ ;take care of themselves.” There is much truthf in the following: “To trade without sense is only throwing money away;” but it is unhap pily supplemented liy. the -“wicked, wisdom” of a companion maxim, which expresses with incomparable frankness and simplicity the first and great Commandment of Russian traffic: “Without cheating, no trading!” There is a similar flavor of sly attention: to the main chance in another very favorite saying, “Money is hot God, but it shows great mercy !” Any native diplomatist might appropriately quote “The deeper you hide a thing, tiie sooner you find it,” which appears to be the great funda mental rule of conduct with a race whose in variable habit it is to mask tlieir real purpose, and who (as one of their greatest novelists caustically remarked in liis last work) “always introduce casually, at the end of a conversa tion, as a thing of no moment whatever, the verv matter which is the sole object of their visit.” Some of the most characteristic and pictu resque of Russian proverbs are to be found among the rhyming saws above referred to, the jingle.of which is naturally calculated to please the simple taste of an unlettered peasantry. The popular saying, “ Truth is severe, but to Cod ’tis dear," is, we suspect, more quoted than followed by the bargain-loving children of tlie Czar; but- it is precisely t-lie kind of maxim which looks well at the head of a chapter or in tlie jieroration of a moral treatise, where it ac cordingly . figures very frequently. “ They who wear wide, sleeves, in their heart are thieves,” is a bitter and not wholly unmerited' hit at the provincial clergy, recently quoted iu grim irony by the members of tlie Celibate Brotherhood of Mor shansk, when questioned upon their religious opinions by the judges who tried them. We may further notice “When life is not bright, death does not fright,” “A tongue that is pert is its own sure hurt,” “Speak out with, might when your cause is right,” and, quaintest of all, “If God don’t forsake ns, the pigs will not take us,” which has been the “Nil desperantlum” of many a Muscovite Teucer in his extremest need. ' * It is somewhat remarkable that no country possesses a larger stoic of maxims inculcating honesty and fair play than crafty, sharp-dealing Russia. A few examples are well worth se lecting. Conscientiousness in trade is recom mended by “Pledge not thy word rashly, but hold to it when pledged,” “A debt is adorned by payment,” “Roguery is the -last of trades,” “Sell your goods profitably, hut do not fleece your customers,” and t many others of the same kind—rules; it' is to be feared, honored more frequently in the breach than in the observance'/' Of a similar character are “An honest mtui is worth more than a stone wall,” “All things’pass, hut truth remains,” “Him who lives by guile will God slay,” “Never take the crooked path while you can see a straight one,’’XDig not a pit for others, lest thou fall therein thyself.” The proverb at tributed to the monk Sylvester,’' “Fear not the threats of the great, but rather tlie tears of tlie poor,” is a very noble one;- and would have made an “appropriate text for an "oration of Burke or a sermon by Latimer. There js not a little sly humor in “A good name lies in the meadow! but a had name runs alongtlie road,” —a maxim which would have sounded well in the month of an old reprobate of our acquabit ance in one of the Western counties of Eng land, who walked erect under a load of obloquy that might have crushed Atlas, and who once observed to us, in allusion to his oivn evil celeb rity, “Ye-see, zur, a bad kayackter be a deal , better nor a good karackter; for a good kahick ter takes a power o’ maintainin’; but a bad kar acter,he maintains liissel’!” . ... The sdtirieiil proverbs of Russia are very nu merous, and remarkable for their bitter truth fulness. From the mass we may seli£s almost at a venture. “The dog harks, but the wind (’Juries it away” is a palpable and cutting sneer at the impotence of popular Slanders, and -wigl't-serve as a ihotto for ! any .one of the pug nacious native-authors who are at present waging war with public opinion. “When the thunder does not rofi the peasant does not cross himself” conveys in a new and more pic turesque form, the idea expressed by the old English rhyme of “The devil was sick, the devil a monk would be,” &c. Of equal truth, 'and even greaterquaintness, are tlie following HE DAILYEVENINGfitILLETIN—PHILAPELPHIA,MONDAy v JtjLY j yy' I *. ,■ K '%V. ,■ i, r ' j . ,' ■ , ~ Sayings, leveled against gossips and scandal mongers : “The tongue reaches ns far as Kiev,” (iTell a thing .to • a -ben (a woman),‘anil the ivhole street will know it,” “TlirougU-Ueedles-) words the heaufalLs off,” “Public rumor is like a wave of the sea,” “A word is not a sparrow, for when it once flies away you can-never catch it again.” The same bitter flavor is jier fceptible in “Bad words come from bad birds,” Ask a pig to and be ? will pqt his feet pn tiie table,”: “Disease comes in, by hundred-: Weights, and goes out by ounces,? “Every little frog is great in bis own bog,” “An old friend is worth two new ones,” &c. “Water runs not beneath a resting stone” is the exact converse bf our “A rolliug , stone gathers no iqoss,” and equally appropriate, to the nation which produced it. “Be praised not for your ancestors, but for your virtues” sounds like an echo oftlie surly independence expressed in the motto fofmerly assumed by a self-made mil lionaire—“ Lords are proud of their descent; I am proud of my ascent.” But more quaintly humorous, as well as more thoroughly, national, than all.is a saying popular among the peasant ry, which shows that they are not wholly igno-: rant of tlieir own strength“ When.fish are rare, even a crab is a fish; and when men are. scarce, even Thomm (?. e. the peasant) is a gentleman.” L’Eco <Tltalia, gives the following account Of the present condition of Italy: “A net of several thousand miles of railroads, •which'forin'the' vertebral of every commercial nation, encircles already the whole Italian pen insula from tiie Alps to the Adriatic, and all the way as far as'Brindisi and Taranto, and along the Mediterranean coast; the whole built in a style worthy of the descendants of the Roiuans of old. Other railways are coiistructing in the Islands of Sicily and Sardinia, and soon the Alps wili.be .crossed in different- directions by the same means of communication, thus giving new life to national industry and commerce. Q “Steam navigation companies are multiply ing, Hot only for the traffic between tiie differ* cut Italian ports, but also for far-distaritregjbris —lines existing for tiie Levant, Egypt, East Indfes,'’Brazil and the various cities'on the River Plata. The day is not distant when Italy and the United States will,with regidar steam communications, be brought hearer and/ nearer, and new activity will thus be imparted to the development of the natural resources of both countries. “Italian sliipyards are now continually send ing abroad model vessels of eight hundred to three thousand tons, while but a veiy limited number of small crafts were built ten years ago in tiie few insignificant yards of that time. Tbe country which -of all maritime nations gave the greatest navigators and dis coverers, and constructed the first clad vessel (a galley clad with lead, by Admiral Doria), could not neglectthis important branch of in dustry. "/ “Tiie culture of cotton forms, since 1861, a great part' of Italian industry. Cotton is at present cultivated on a large scale in all the 'Neapolitan provinces, in Calabria, Sicily, Tus cany and in various parts of the former Pontifi cal states.
