PORTUGAL.
The Libon newt of the 19ih, placet the
Portuguese Cabinet in a precarious slate, not
only Irom lack of suppoit, but from the pro
cable cessation of diplomatio inlercouise
with the Brazils, consequent upon the quar
rel wilh the Brazilian Minister, Mr. Drum
mond.
The weather along the coast of Portugal
the past fortnight, had been very severe
AUSTRIA.
Vienna letters are slill full of the recent
Itempt on the life of the Emperor. The
assassin's name is now spelled Jonas Libe
ny, a journeyman tailor, from Stuhlweissen
burg, in Hungary. His age is about 23.
He maintains wilh vehemence that he had
no accomplices, and that his intention was
not to kill the Emperor, but to give him a
"mark." He further maintains that he has
had the intention ever since 1850, and
watched for three weeks past for an oppor.
tunity to find his victim unattended.
A few minutes before the attack took
place, a party of six or eight persons, con
versing in Italian, had passed, and were Ihe
first to rush to the spot when the alarm was
given. Thinking they were accomplices of
the assassin, the Emperor drew his sword
and stood upon his guard. The mistake
was soon expleined, if mistake it was, but it
gave rise to reports that Ihe attack was
made by Italian emissaries, or by Jews
The Emperor's wound, slight as it was, is
now going on favorably. When led to ptl
son, Lebony cried "Vive Kossuth."
German papers state that a rising was an
ticipated at Peslh, and fears were enter'ain
ed of an outbreak throughout Hungary. The
police of Pesth had arrested twenty travel
lets at the hotel d'Ar.elelerre. The garrison
of the city is kept constantly under arms
and ready to act at a moments notice Sen
tinals are posted at all the galea leading to
the fortress of Buda, from which, and other
circumstances, it would appear that the
coup ue main as feared to liberate the politi
tui prisoners.

Milan letters of February 18th say that

tape, i ney even opened the coffins which
were carried to the burial ground, to assure
tnemseives mat he was not concealed
one of them. The inhabitants are forbidden
to appear in the baslions after 7 o'clock in
the evening.
Orders are issued to the householders to
keep a lamp burning all night in front of
every fourth house, from 6 o'clock, evening
until daylight. In case of disturbance, the
householders are to close their doors, and
every man found in the street is to be trea
ted as concerned in the affray. By order of
the Commandant, all the bouses weie illu
minated on the 19.h, in rejoicing for the
Emperor's preservation.
The Paris Correspondent of Ihe Times
mentions a rumor, but does not know if it be
correct, that the funds in the hands of the
revolutionary committee in London, collect
ed from France, Italy, Germany and Amer
ica) amounted to TOtXOOO francs, just pro
ceeding the outbreak at Milan. From ano
ther source, it is slated that one part of the
plan of those who planned the insurrection,
was to seize the Austrian steamer Radelsky
en Lake Maggiore ; groups of passengers
were to have gone on board at Pollana, In
tro, Belgirate, Stresa, Lesa, Arona, &.O., and
to have overpowered the crew and seize the
ship between Locarno and Mugadiuo.
The captain got a hint of the plot, and
put into Lavarie, where he landed his dan
gerous guests. The Trieste Zeitung ventures
to say that during the past fortnight circum
stances have come to liyht which indicate
that at least a part of the population looked
wilh a favorable eye or. the insurrection, and
if it had gone on favoratly would have made
common cause wilh the insurgents. The
number of soldier wounded on the 6:h was
seventy-three, of whom ten have since died.
H is not true that Eng'ishmeti weie among
uie insurgents taken at Milan. The focus of
the conspiracy was at Maluhera.
The National Gazette of Beilin states, from
Via..-- lL... . It
. icunu, mat a nu.garian regiment at Milan
refused to fire upon the insurgents, and en
couraged them by their passive behaviour.
The regiment, it is added, has been sent to
Croatia.
The press of Vienna says it i, contempla
ted by Austria to negotiate with the Holy See
a concordt for Hungury and Ctolia. Accounts
from Rome mention that Father Rolhan, gen
eral of the Jesuits, is on his death bed. The
decision against Dr. Newman, in the Achilli
trial, had created considerable sensation at
Rome. There is no news of any political
importance.
TURKEY.
Letters Tom Constantinople of the 6th inst.,
announce as before Hated, that Count Lein-
ingeu, the Austrian Envoy Extraordinary,
had received on the 3d ultimatum respecting
Montenegro, to whieh he required a definite
answer within five days. This ultimatum
demanded the cession by Tuikey to Austria
of the two ports of Keck and Sulornia. The
letters add that the Porte had refused these
demands, and that Austria was in conte
quence, advancing her troops towards the
Turkish frontier. We cannot see, however,
that this could have been known at Constan
tinople under the above date, even if such
an occurrence had taken place.
The rumors that Austria is determined to
find a cause of was against Turkey are in
dustriously fostered by certain parties and
presses. On the other hand it is noticed lhat
Ihe reception given by the Sultan to th
Marquis de Lavalette, special ambassador of
ranct, was more thin usually cordial, while
the ambassador's address contained marked 1
allusion to the old alliances between France
and Turkey.
The Paris Journal des Debatt says that as
soon as the Divan heard the Austrian ultima
tum, the French and English ambassadors
were sent for and had several conferences
on the subject. Ami it was rumored at Vi
enna on the 21st, that it had been agreed to
refer the dispute to the decision of France

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR, DATED
Columbia House, Phila.,
March 16 1S53. J
Notwithstanding the difficulties between
the City Councils and the officers of the Sun-
bury and Erie rail road, there is a determina
tion to push forward Ihe wotk. A large
meeting in favor of Ihe subscript inn of Two
Million of dollars, by the county, was held
at the Chinese Museum on Saturday evening.
The meeting wes three or four times as large
as the meeting the Saturday previous, in op
position to the county subscription. The
measure is now exceedingly popular among
all classes and parties.
The Philudelphians have at last had theii
eyes opened, and nil are now anxious for the
speedy completion of the load. Indeed 1
have not yet heard of a single individual who
is opposed to the load, or a suhsciiplion by
the city or county. I rannnt see that any
thing can stop the ptogtcss of the woik, al
though the present difficulties may tempora
rily prevent the wotk progressing as rapidly
a it would if all were lo act in harmony.
The county subscription will, I think, be rat.
ifieJ by the board, as there can be no doubt
but a large majority of the people are in fa
vor of il. Although Mr. Fallon, the President
of the road meets with much opposition, it is
generally admitted lhat ho is an efficient
man. At a meeting of the board to-dny
Robert Fairies, Er , was appointed Chief
Engineer, Mr. Fairies is now the Chief En
gineer in constructing: the new state road and
Tunnel over ihe Alleghany Mountain, to
avoid Ihe inclined planes of the Portage
rail road. The Pennsylvania Raihoad Com
pany are also constructing a road, in some pla
ces, nearly paralel wilh the stale road for the
same purpose. The grades of the state road
ate only seventy-five feel while the grades
of the company road are about ninety-five
feet. The two tunnels Mart about 1700 feet
npart. but crime out within about 400 feet of
each other. The tunnel of the slate road is,
however, much the shortest, measuring only
loiio ieet, while the other is 3570 tect in
length, and will cost $200,000 mote Ihun Ihe
state tunnel. In this work Mr. Fairies bis
shown himself a skilful as well as an eco
nomical engineer, two very essential requi.
sites in the construction of a work of such
magnitude.
Hon. Francis V. Hughes, late Secretary of
the Commonwealth has resigned, for the pur
pose of accepting the office of Attorney Gen
eral in place of Judye Campbell, the new
lost Master General. This po.t tequires
much less labor and attention, and was, I
believe originally preferred by Mr. Hughes.
Bui us Ihe Secretary of ihe Commonwealth
is Ihe Governors confidential adviser, and
should, therefore, possess abilities of a high
order, Governor Bigler wisely induced him to
accept lhat post, and Ihe manner in which he
has discharged his duties, in addition to the
labor of an arduous profession, shows him to
be a man, not only of great energy and unti
ring industry, but of excellent judgment and
great vigor of intellect.
There is lo boa meeting of Ihe Councils
and officers of Ihe Sunbury and Eiie road to
morrow evening to adjust Ihe difficulties be
tween them.
IMPORTANT FROM HONDURAS. 1
New Orleans, March 9. The schooner
Chas. Pearson, arrived this morning from
Honduias.
She reports that great excitement prevail
ed on tho Island, in consequence of Her
British Majesty's war steamer Devastation,
having anchored off Tonpillo, and demanded
the surrender of the place, in the name of
the Mosquito King.
The inhabitants were given two hours
time to deuide before the commencement of
a bombardment.
The inhabitants yielded to superior forces,
but solemnly protested against the outrage.
The Mosquito flag was hoisted and the
Honduras flag pulled down.
The British war steamer then proceeded to
Limas, and cannonading was afterwards
heard in that quarter. It was presumed
lhat a contest was going on between the
steamer and the Honduras troops.
A severe shock of an earthquake was fell
at Belize on the 10th of Febiuary.
Governor Bicler's Veto of tho supple
ment to ihe charier of the Pennsylvania Coal
Company objects lo lha grant of power to
construct the additional road proposed, from
their lands or road to Ihe New Yoik and Erie
Railroad, or some other point with a New
York connection, on the ground that no
guards are placed on Ihe company to ensure
the management of Ihe work in such a man
ner as lo suit the public interests. A there
are few passes thiongh the mountains, the
company may monopolize Ihe only feasible
railioad route, and then conduct their road in
an arbitrary and unjust manner.

WASHINGTON ITEMS.
Mr. Walter, the architect, has been au
thorized by the President to repair, embel
lish, and ptocure furniture for Ihe White
House, under the late administration.
It is reported that Mr. Buchanan will posi
tively decline a foreign mission.
The Californians are angry at the evident
intention to fill the offices there wilh non
residents, and will not stand any other ex
traneous appointment than that of the Com
missioner of Land Titles.
Secretary Davis told an applicant for office
that he expected to make no temovals among
Ihe Clerks, It is rumored that the Ohio
Democratic Representatives called on the
President to demand offices for their friends,
staling that this duly devolved upon them,
they having no member in the Cabi
net or Senate. Ky some mishap they failed
of cettinu a suitable interview, and retiied
indignant, complaining loudly.
Hon. James Thompson, of Erie, Pennsyl
vanin, is recommended as minister lo Russia,
and may be appointed, if Buchanan finally
declines the former position.
Mr. Belmeut, the Austrian Consul is a can.
didate for ihe Chargcship at Naples, but tho
indications are lhat the oflice is destined for
Governor Seymour, of Connecticut.
General Shields has been a candidate for
the office of Minister to Spain, which he do
sired on account of his health, but it is un
derstood lhat Senator Soule will receive the
appointment. General Shields will probably
gel some other foreign appointment.
Mr. Marshall, of California, has a good
chance of being appointed Commissioner lo
China.
Mr. Hobbie, former first assistant Postmas
ter General, will not be an applicant for res
toration to that place. He is, however, for
the Consulship to Honolulu, in the Sandwich
Islands.
Senator Felch wants lo be Laud Commis
sioner in California ; Cul. Jones M. Withers,
Collector of Mobile; and Col. Polk, Navil
Officer at Baltimore. Withers commanded
Ihe Ninth Regiment of Pieice's Bti'ade in

ty, wants the General Mail Agency of the
Stale of New York.
Hon. James Gamble has our thanks
for a copy of the Patent Oflice Reports
and other valuable public documents.
ANOTHER MIRDER
Has been committed in Southwark, Phi
ladelphia. On Thursday night last, two
woman occupying part of a house on Fed
eral street, were brutally killed by repeat
ed blows of a dirk and piece of lead pipe.
There screams were heard by the neighbors,
who live in a part of the city, where said
night cries are so frequent as to be little
heeded, but none came to their assistance.
Their bodies were discovered lying in
pools of blood, on the following morning.
Plunder seems to have been the object of
the desperado who committed the act. A
trunk containing upwards of 150 in gold,
was found broken and rifled. A number
of persons have been arrested by the police.
Facts have come to light which fix strong
suspicions of the murder on a man named 1
Spring, a convict recently discharged from
the Sing Sing State Prison. He has been
committed to answer the charge.
C-The Susquehanna Division of the
Pt-nnsylvania Canal is now open. The

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.
Two or three weeks ago a respectable
married woman residing in the eastern end
of this county, gave biuh to two twin child
ren, which addition increased the litlle re.
sponsibililiet to nine. Some five or six
nights after the event, Ihe husband, who oo
cupied a bed in the same room, was awaken
ed by her, when she complained bitterly of
her hard lot in having such a laige household
tn care for. The husband soothed her as
well as he could, and then fell asleep. In
about an hour he awoke, and found that his
wife had left her bed. Immediate search was
made in and around the house, but the wo
man was not to be found. The alarmed man
fearing that in her weak condition she must
perish before see could go far, summoned
his neighbois to aid in searching for her.
The parly soon discovered foot-prints in the
snow, and Ihey followed the track lo a creek
where she had crossed and re-etossed the
stream three times, in water lo the depth of
three feet. From there they tracked her
along the creek, through fields and woods for
a distance of neaily three mil-s, nnd at
length found her in a fence tinner, with a
piece of rope and nail in her hand. When
interrogated as lo her motive lor le.iring her
home, she declared it was her iiiteu'ioir lo
commit suicide. It was then sniuested that
she waslaboiing under alienation of mind,
which she undoubtedly was, bid this she
stoutly denied. The stranse part of this oc
currence is, that the woman, after walking
bare-footed, and with nothing on her but
thin cotlon nmht clothes, a distance of three
or four miles lltronuh snow, slush and cold
j water, and lhat too only six days after giving
birlh lo two children, is now us well as ever
she was in her life ! This may appear s'range
especially to medical men nevertheless it
is true. Holbdaysburg Standard.

NEunoES in Illinois. A very rigid law
has recently passed the Legislature of Illinois!
in pursuance of Ihe requirements of ihe new
constitution of thai Stale. It provides that
every negro or mulatto, bond or free, who
shall come into the Slate and remain ten days
with the evident intention of remaining there
in, shall bo deemed guilty of hiyh misde
meanor, and be fined fifty dollars : and if the
fine is riot paid forthwith, he or she is lo be
sold at public auction to any person who will
pay the fine and costs for the shortest time
and ihe puichaser shall have the riht to
compel the negro or mulatto lo work for and
serve out such rime. And if the ollender
does not leave ihe State within ten days from
ihe expiration of this servitude, ho or she is
liable to a second piosecutiou, the penalty
being increased lo one hundred dollars; and
so on, with an addition ol fifty dollars lo the
penalty for every offence Ihe same procee

public. The article undoubtedly is what it
pretends to be, a remedy for Lung Com
plaints, and the remaikablu cures which are
becoming known evetywhciu cannot long
be overlooked by the people.
