The refloctioii suggostcd to my inind is this: if Mr. Buchanan; had heen.as'lofty and as,hold in his denunciation of 'James Gordon Bennett, of the New York Herald, as Franklin Pierce was, ho, James <Buohanan, would not now be writhing un der theddisgrace of the support Of-that’ infamous, man and his infamous newspaper. During all his Administration, Franklin Pieroe refused to tolorate -James .Gordon Bennett. .Thus, though'; Bennett supported him in 1852, ho, . refused to allow him to polsdn" 'the atmosphere ,of the Whito House With', his. prosenoe; 'and. ’the, country sustained him in so doing. But' when James Buohanan was nominated for-'President, In 1858, Bennett opposed him' with 'signal ; ahd' startling violo'nod.

Invariably, when thieves of this eseription aro arrested by the Recorder’s detec tives, they are at once sent into court, their cases disposed of, and tho law vindicated.

But, berhaps, the most remarka ble intelligence, from Italy is the. position which General Garibaldi has assumod at the head of tho army of Central Italy. Ho has under him, it is said, no lees than. 40,600 mon—a. force whioh may give tne Austrians some trouble if an appeal to arms should be again neoessary.

Most of the Madrid journals of the Bth publish articles which protest in violent terms .against a declaration mode in a Washington newspaper by- Mr. Dodge, the eXjmlnlater of the United States at Madrid, to tho effect that Spain, notwithstanding her present reluctance, will end by selling Cuba to the States.
