A little time back, intelligence was received of a threatened outbreak in Milan, which; as most of our; readers know, is tho oapital of the Austrian provinces in Italy, and also tho resi dence of the Viceroy. Tho people met, and, amid lend cries of “ Viva l’ltalia,” passed a series of resolutions, of a highly democratic character, relative to their rights, and the in tolerable oppression of the Government. The consequence of this movement was a sum mary prohibition, from the Commandant, against sue 1 assemblies, and tho distributing of patrols tl ronghout tho city to prevent the people assembling. There is a very, large Austrian ga rison in Milan, but there is a still, larger one i 1 Mantua, which is the strongest fortress in tho -north of- Italy, and com mands the line of the river Minoio, oh which WuhuSER . and Aloinzi foil hack' when the first Napoleon had shattered their armies by repeated defeats. The late Marshal adopted the same course in March, 18I8J when the great rising of the Italian patriots took place, and Ciiam.es Aibeet, of Sardinia, put himself at its head. Venice, Fadna, Verojna, Brescia, and, in fact, all the largo cities Of Lombardy, have Austrian gar risons. From the frontiers of Illyria to those of. Piedmont, the Austrian bayonet is the' “ guardian ”[ or tho public peace. The States of Parma, Modena, and Tuscany. are completely undor Austrian influence. ' There is, it is truej in the north of Italy, , a largo amount of material prosperity, and life and property ard secure, except where political causes intervene; hut- there is absolutely no freedom of thought—or, rather, there is no giving utterance to it without instantly draw ing down thb vengeance of the authorities.' This cannot, and will not, always be submitted to by a sensitive, brave, and imaginative; people like the Italians. In the Fayal States, there is universal dis satisfaction with tho Government of tho Vati can ; the tajies. are oppressive and unfairly levied, and go mainly to support a strong forco of dragoons and artillory, not to defend the country from foreign invasion, iortheso « Boldiers of the Pope ” would not be worth a string of maccaroni in the presence of French or Austrian troops, but to collect these same imposts and suppress all political movements, if passible; a thing which they have from time to time Accomplished with the assistance of an Austrian garrison at Ancona and a French garrison in Romo. Yet, the other day, some of the subjects of the Pope at , An cona wore arrested for protesting- against the oppression under which they suffered i so that the Are of revolution is still smouldering there. In the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, we find Foebio, the upright minister, still in -jail) others equally sincere and patriotic languish' in conflnemoiitunder tho rule of the besotted Feminanu 11, whose sycophants have lately pretended tbit his administration of justice, particularly in tho island of Sicily, is wonder fill for its mercy and its speed, becauso la the year 1867, out of 1469 persons accused before tho Criminal ciourts, only 1060 were condemn ed ; 76 per sont. of the oases being tried within the first or second six months after arrest) and 24 t per cent, after a longer deten tion ! Sioliy; one of tho most beautlful.of islands, so long the «teterrima causa belli” betweon Greeks, ttomans, and CarthagenfaUs; Saracens and; Normans, has,' by tho arbitrary decree of the ’Court of Naples, boon deprived of the roads, bridges and lighthouses planned ,{m it-by ihoßrinco of SatrfanoHtalate roy, on the ground that tho government con sidered it wisd to prohibit the importation of foreign capital! Yet this same paternal Government doea hot hesitate to defraud its own subjects by debasing the coin and pacing its own debts in the depreciated crirroncy! Bayonets, artillery, and prisons, ovory where I So the good people’of Southern Italy resign themselves to the dolce far niente, smoko their cigars, and swallow their sweetmeats and coffee in silent expectation of aid from abroad. Aid from abroad! Whence will it eomo ? From England ? No. England has no true sympathy with Italy, tor she has thrice came forward to take the , part of tho Sicilian pa triots, only to (give them up to their oppressors when tho motive for tho protended interven tion was answered. From France? Well, nous verrons. In every century since the decay of tho Homan Empire, has she inter fered in the affairs of Italy, but never for good, except during the brief existence of the Ligu rian and Cisalpine Republics, Napoleone im perilante / and when liberty shall emanate from the present Napoleon and shed its benign influence ovor the bountiful Italian peninsula, •wo will do as Mr. (Jrimwig threatened to do if Oliver Twist returned with the book, vis : << oat our head^”' KKNE GUILLOU, JOHN EMORY, J. PRANK DROWN. Tho State of Italy, at prosent, occasions great uneasiness in Europe, Austrian mais treatment, and tho stupid tyranny of the miserable despots who hold sway thoro, having goaded tho people to the verge of in surrection. The example of Sardinia, too, under their free institutions, so gallantly and faithfully upheld by Victor Emanuel 11, and his ablo minister, Oavouk, has greatly contributed to swell tho tide of discontent. The languishing patriot turns to Sardinia, and finds thoro freedom of speech, freedom of religious belief, of tho press, of trado, and a small State,-with a population of flvo millions and a quarter, taking a distinguish ed part in the Crimean war, and reviving tho traditionary military gloriea of Italy; he turns to tho rest of his beloved land, and finds twenty millions of his countrymon ground to the dust by misrule, tyranny, bi gotry,jprlestcrait, and ignorance. The nation’s life is almost crushed out, her commcrco n more blank, her literature dwarfed into preffi nesses, hor mind fettered, and hor mouth gagged. Snch is tho state of that lovely land, which once produced tbo conquerors ot the world, and restored to a benighted world the blessings of commerce, of literature, and tho flno arts; which gave to America a.discoveror and u name, and still delights the civilized car with hor music. These reflections bnvo been suggested by the recent rumors, which have somehow or othor arisen in Paris, of a war between Franco and Austria, ou some ground not very satisfac torily explained, but hinted to be a newly-re vived zeal in France for the more ltboral govern ment of Italy. To such a pitoh did these ru mors rise that tho French Government thought it necessary to caution tho public against the effects of a discussion “whioh would be of a nature to alter its relations with a Power in alliance with Franco." It is pos sible that this is the old Hazzinlan dodgo of keeping up a continental ferment on tho sub ject of Italy, with tho hopo that, sooner or later, the fire will break out. We fear that when it does, tho Italians will have to under go a sovero lesson—lndeed, Wo do not boo any prospect of succoss for them unless Franco should aid thorn. The Refuqee’s Cave —The Bucks county (Pa.) Intelligencer, says that, ou Sunday last, some boys while playing about the stone quarries of Dr. Ohos. Matthews, in Buokingham valley, dis covered a large oave in tho limestone rook, run ning book about thirty feet. On the stono was oarved the folfowing inscription : “M. Doan, 1775.” Honoe, the oave is supposod to have been tho hiding place of tho notorious refugoo brothers, Doan, of Revolutionary memory. Thomas Henry, of Mount Pleasant, Ohio, latoly walked into a parlor of his hoHso and shot down his wife, who was sewing there. He then passed out, and meeting upon the street a woman who was an entire stranger to him, held the re volver almost to her ear and pulled the trigger, bnt tho cap did not snap, and her 11 fo was saved. Henry is subject to fits of temporary Insanity, durlog which he exhibits a passionate hatred for women.

From the least prejudiced quarters we haVa learned that, while all was fair and bright, 'betokening a prosperous and happy voyage to both the gallant ortift j while, indeed, aS the master of the fated “Polly” avers, be was ongaged in the peaceful and delightful oooupatlon of lessening the proportions of a “ swine’s profile," vulgarly termed “ a pig’s head," in his saloon or oabln, he was rudely awakened from this dream of pleasure by a ahook to him as well as to his vessol, which, as he afterward graphically described It, “knocked him off his pins like winkin’, and caused him to exolaim, with more vigor than polltenbs, ‘ What the biases are them ere fellers ’arter.’ ” But when he oamo on deok what a sight mot his view 1 His foremast and the irishman both gone by the board, (the latter with the board, whioh, if he is alive, he is requested to roturn, and, if not, tb please leave it with bis executors,) his vessbl store in about two fathoms abaft of tho fore ohains, his bumpkin rail, and the bumpkin who was at tho wheel both carried away ; and his cook (a colored individual, whom he OWofe by, and Sometimes at, aad -who Was on deok plucking a Montgomery oounty goose for next day’s dinner) oaught fast by the leg, between the oombings of the mam hatch and the slaok of the weather-miszen rigging. As may he observed, “by a remans he made" when he felt he was struok, the captain’s a man of a nioo sense of humor ; it will, therefore, not sur prise our readers to learn that, When ha saw bis favorite oook in. the predicament referred to, his sense of the ludiorous overcame his sense of his loss, and he said, with a gloomy appreciation of a venerablo old Joe, or joke, “ Bam, I fear your goose Is oookod." But sterner thoughts provailed, and rushing to the stern, ho hailed the delinquent “Lass" In terms whioh respeot for thatsex, which, fto., forbids us to repeat. The usual scene of roorimiuation then fol lowed, and threats of mutual extermination were freely bundled betweon the officers and orews of the rival craft; but oooler oounsols ultimately prevailed, and it was determined, if possible, to investigate the causo whioh lod to the oollision and its disastrous results. It then appeared that the “ Fairmount Lass," whioh was lying well away tojeeward on the starboard took, was struok by a flaw of wind which came suddenly from the northeast, off Lemon Jlill, whioh oausod her to run into tho “ Polly. " It appeared that a political meeting and lager beer drinking wero being held on the hill that day, where, as may be imagined, there was much spoeoh ing and shouting, and the natural explanation of this sudden disturbance of the atmosphore was, therefore, naturally attributed to what a popular oratorusbd to oall “the woice of the people.” Com pensation for tho injuries sustained by tho “Saucy Polly” was briefly but deoidedly refused by the owners of the “ Fairmount Lass," and the law, which, after all , is tho groat palladium of our liberties, (after all moaning, of oourse, when everything olse has been tried) was invoked to settle the differences between tho parties; just as if tho law ovor settled anything except, probably, the hash of the litigants. Tho usual writs of i( no absq-natulator” and ” venire tfe novo " were Issued, depositions taken before the Lord Mayor of Manayunk—who is “do virtute officii” or, in consequence of his appointment, a commissioner for the purpose-papor books printed, and, in short, every preparation made for the hearing of the cause. The oventful day arrived, and the oourt was opened In a solemn manner by a olori oal-looking individual, with a boiled eye and a white ohokor, named Lynx, who exhibits a re markable talent for sleeping, and who, when he is awako—whioh, to do him justice, is but seldom, while in oourt—always looks in a state of intense surpriso at being discovered in the faot.

This may certify that tho foregoing will and testament of tho late General Montgomery was found by ns among his papers, a few days after his death, and immediately sealed np. Benedict Arnold, Donald Campbell. . The Charlotte (Micb.) Republican states that a few days slrqo, in Barry oonnty, a BiDging master had a difficulty in his sohool with some rowdies, and dismissed tho sohool. As the master was goitog out, one of-the rowdies stabbed him dead on the spot. A young man oaught up a stiok and striking the assassin a blow, killed aim instantly. Very Generous.—A grocery firm in Bur lington, lowa, distributed, on Christmas day, a barrel of English walnuts to tho poor hoys and girls of that town. The ohildren loft tho store with glad hearts; but alas! when they came to oraok the walnuts they found that every one of them was spoiled. The grooery men gave out the walnuts knowing thoy were spoiled. Dibappearhoe of A Baltimorean. —Tho cor respondents of the New Orleans Picayune on tho Isthmus of Tehuantepec, state that Dr. Martin, of Baltimore, purser of the steamer Oregon, on her first trip down, was doeoyod ashore at Aoapuloo, and hna not boon soon up to the departure of the boat. He bad, at the time, $1,500 on his person, and, it is presumed, was waylaid, robbed, ana probably murdered. New York on New Year's Day.—This city preserved its reputation on tho first day of the New Year, by getting up two murders, two shooting affrays, two stabbing affrays, and a riot, nob to mention minor incidents. Eleven foreign ships are now in Savannah, Ga., or will bo there in the next thirty days, after timber.. One firm has a oontraot for forty-seven millions of feet, and some of theso vessels are now loading with a portion of it. . The Galena Courier says that within a few days a new and large lead mine has been disco vered near Folrplay, Wisconsin, and, on first working it, 7,000 pounds wore taken out In a few hours. • ' At Albany, N. Y., tho railroad men were oneaged Saturday morning in building a bridge from the pier, leading upon tho ice, whioh is now, supposed to be Btrong enough for teams to pass over in safety. TWO CENTS.

[From the independent.] ' Among the things which we did not; but now dor, believe in, is the SewlDg ; Maobine.

We coula imagine obil drenput through a whipping-machine, and we had long been acoustonted to see them tatight'by auto* manio machines.

Tho woman came, and the iron Wheeler and Wilson oame with her, only the lady had to aot as beau, mid offer her aid to wait on Messrs. W. and W. After a little,' there arose a hum from our chamber, not unlike thebuisof a Wheat-mill, suoh as we have. h4arcTin ! sitting under willoif trees on the edge of a streamy over against a red mill, white' dua£ed.

It streamed through the all*punoturing Wheeler and. Wilson about as soon as a good-sited flag, being hoisted,, would unroll and flow out to the wind.' A bundle of linen took its turn, .and oame forth a oollar, a handkerchief, a cap; - There goes in a piooe of cloth!—there odmes out a-shirt!

The voracious machine began to show itg teeth and to demand m6re ? food—and now'it was a fair *lo*l eould as one machine could perform 1 It did our very souls good. 'At last, we hoped this was working fast enough. Oh, what early hours has our lamp been made to illumine! Ah, what breakfasts have we eaten, and seen oleared away, long before the sun touched even the cheek of day! What im petuous industry had glowed'about the house, forenoon, afternoon, night," midnight—never enough, nover overmatched !/ We grew tired, even to look at it! At last, said we, You’ve got' your matoh. Now, thon/wo will sit down and see this race, with a satisfaction that shall include years of revenge for disturbed indolence! Fora long time tho match was doubtful. Some times it was the machine that had the advantage and sometimes it was not. The contest was passing into the middle of tho afternoon. It was doubt ful. Sometimes the needle evidently gained; then again, .in rounding up.a sleeve-ga thering, the needle flagged, ana then the hand worked soimers gained! But iron and steel aro more enduring, even, than a honsewife’s courage. And though for any single hour the hand could prepare meter than the machine could execute, yet, taking the day through, Wheeler and Wilson had the advantage, and oame out atdark decidedly ahead. That settled it. There was a revolution In this household. Our Miriam'sounded her .tim brel and triumphed over the cruel Bharoah of the needle, whose dynasty and despotism were ended]! Now, sewing is the family ‘ amusement. Our Whoeler and Wilton is played on a great deal more than our Steinway piano—and is the oanse, too, of moro real musio than is evor got oat of that instrument; for two canary birds, perched on either side of the book-oase, understand the first oliok of the sewing-machine to be a challenge, and whilo the maohine sings staccato tboy warble ad libitum, and between the solfeggio of the one and the eantabile of the other we go orazy. This snbjoot is not yet sewed up. It will require a sober artlole to say the many edifying things that yet remain in our bead on the subject of sowing machines and theirkiods. A Vigorous Old Man.— Hon. Jonathan Blake, of Warwick, Mass., latterly residing in Brattieboro, with Mr. David Goodeli, has built, during the present autumn, more than forty rods of heavy stone wall. Ovor thirty roda of this wall is faced with great exactness; the remaining is what is known as a “ bank wall," the front of whioh is also faced. No handsomer or better wall from similar atones oan be found in the town or country. Mr. Blake has performed this labor as a recreation in the intervals not devoted to read-, ing and writing. For many years he was a Repre sentative in the Massachusetts Legislature from the town of Warwlok, and afterwards a Senator from Franklin county. He is in the midst of a green and vigorous old age, being ovor 70. A Youno Female Pickpocket.—A day or two since au offioor of the Second ward, New York, arrested two children, a girl ani & boy, on the onarge or picking pookats. The girl, a pretty, bright-eyed little German, about 12 years of age, and tho boy, perhaps,. 8 or 9. Both wore veil dressed,and they are said to.bo adepts in,their busi ness. The girl has been arrested a number of times’ but let off on aocount of her youth, and her interesting appearance. From what she says, and the officer’s knowledge, it appears that she and her brother havo been trained to steal, and that one of her relatives is accustomed to stand on the sidewalk opposite where the ohildren are ope rating, to take from them any valuables that they may secure. Alleged Swindling.—A young man, pro. fessing to be “ a converted Catholic," and the son of a wealthy gentleman in Montreal, who had thoreforo been turned out of doors by his indig. nant parent, has been playing the “confidence game" on several Protestant clergymen In Ro chester. He was made to figure extensively at eoeleaiastloal assemblages, and after making sandry forays into their pookets, ho deoamped, leaving the Bov. Mr. Ellenwood to pay a heavy hotel bill, for whioh ho had become responsible, and an elaborate string of certLfioatcs of good oharaoter, in his own peoket.
