Death of Marshal Radetzky. Radetzky was born at Trebnitz, in Bohemia, in 1766. is predilection for military adven tures was early developed, and he commenced his military career on the Ist of August, 1781, as a cadet in a cavalry regiment. Austria was at war with Turkey, and Lieut. Radetzky first distinguished himself at the siege of Belgrade. In 1793 Radetzky’s regiment served against the French, and in 179% djutant to Gen- eral Beaulieu, who commanded the Austrians in Italy, he met Napoleon, then in his 27th year. on the field of battle. At the battle of Trebbia, Radetzky had a horse shot under him, and. from the coolness and bravery be display- ed on that oceasion, he was gazetted as Lice. tepant-Colonel On the 15th of August, 1799. Radetzky led the Austrian attack in the battle of Novi. The battle terminated in the complete defeat of the French. In Baron Melas’s dispatches the name of Radetzky is again most honorably mention ed. The result of the campaign was that nearly the whole of upper Italy fell into the hands of the Austrians Napoleon returned from Egypt towards the end of 1799, and stood as First © Lat the French Republic N eon joined Italy im person in May.

From the opening of the campaign on the Danube until the memorable battle of Aspern (21st and 224 of May) Radetzky was scarcely a day without fighting the enemy. During this campaign he was opposed by Napoleon, Aavoust, Oudinot, Massena, Molitor, Lefebvre and Lannes. Vi- enna capitulated on the 13th of May. Then came the battle of Aspern. Six times was As- pern taken and retaken on that day, and onthe night between the 21st and 22d the sentinels of the hostile armies were in sight of each other. On the 22d Napoleon beat a retreat. This was the first time he had been beaten in open field, and the sensation was immense throughout Germany. Radetzky was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Field-Marshal in June, 1809. On the 4th, 5th and 6th of July following was fought the battle of Wagram. In that san- guinary contest Radetzky commanded the cay- alry. The great battle of Leipsic, (18th of October. 1513) sealed the fate of Napoleon in Germany In this battle Radetzky, who commanded the * Australian cavalry, was wounded. On the es- eape ol Napoleon from Elba, Radetzky again took the field, but he was not present at Wa terloo. In 1831 Radetzky was appointed Commander- in-Chief in Austrian Italy. When Mastai Terretti succeeded to the Chair of St. Peter as Pius 1X.. and initiated his rule by liberal reforms, a thrill of nationality ran, like the electric fluid, through Italy. This was in 1546. In the following year the movement was almost brought to a crisis by the Austrians placing a garrison in Ferrara. The sequel is wel! known. Charles Albert was no General, and he failed at-Novara. The Piedmontese fought—as they fought at the Tehernaya—with the greatest bravery. Charles Albert and his gallant sons were everywhere in the hottest of the fight. and the old Marshal for the last time ledon his Ausirians. At7 o'clock in the evening the King still lingered on the field, in hopes of re ng the fortunes of the day. The tabourgs of Novara were taken by the Austrians at the point of the bayonet. Gen- eral Durand seized Charles Albert by the arm. and removed him from a post of danger. “Let me die, General,’ said the broken-hearted mon- arch, “my task is done.’ He abdicated that night night in favor of Victor Emanuel, the present King, and died shortly afterwards in a | foreign land. This short and brilliant cam- psign, which lasted only one week, added a fresh lustre to the bonors of the Marshal. The young Emperor, Francis Joseph. sent the Arch- dake, William of Austria to Milan, expressly to thank Kadetzky and present him with the Order of the Golden Fleece -An attempt at insurrection was made at Mi- Jan in February, 1855. Radetzky put it down with a hand of iron, and confiscated the prop- erty of those Lombards who had become Sar- dinian subjects. This was not only unwise but illegal. In his 90th year Radetzky still maintained a clear intellect. At the visit of the Emperor last year (1857) to Milan, Radetzky, no longer able to mount his horse. tendered his resigna- tion to his imperie! master. on the plea of fail ing health n stature Radetzky was below the middle height, with broad shoulders and a clear pier- w=cing eye; he — that peculiar attraction attributed to Frederick the Great and to Na- poleon’ Among a hundred officers, though simply dressed in a gray surtout, Radetzky would command the attention of all. The stat- ue in bronze at the (Great Exhibition of 1851 is an excellent likeness of him in his 89th year. Radetzky was married in 1797 to the Coun- tess Fanny Strassvldo. by whom he had five sons and two daughters. Of these only one son and one daughter survived him. His son is a staff officer_in the Austrian service; his daugh- ter is married to Count Wenkheim Death of Mademoiselle Rachel. (from the London Times 5 Many of our readers who. till within two or three years, have ag the performa y Mademoisel eventgof the lar I be shocked to departed this life That her illness woukd fatal result few indeed hope;*bat,nevertheless, death when- ever it comes is sudden in its aspect, especially when it brings with it a change of tastes and babits. W bro and sol:ly to the talent of Mademiselle Rachel is to be attributed that predil: n for the works of the French classi cal school which bas distinguished modern play- goers from thore of a former generation. Inured to the drama of Shakspeare. with its variety of character, its complicatei action, and its ad- dress to the eye a: well as the ear, all true Britons, prior to the year 1840, regarded the plays of Corneille and Racine merely as some- thing alike intolerable to reader and spectator. The life infused into the Gallo. ek heroines by the transcendent genius of Mademoiselle Rachel shook this opinion, but still left doubtful whether the dramatic productions of the Augustan age of Louis XIV. had some little merit of their or whether all the emotions were the work of the actress, rather encum- bered than assisted by her author. By her de- cease the connection between John Bull and these works, which in themselves are go alien to bis «ympathies. brought to a close, and Ravine and Corneille, after some fifteen years’ good service, will be consigned to their shelver, never to redescend till some new histrionie genius calls them once more from their hiding- place Mademoiselle Rachel was of humble origin. Her father was a hawker. of the Hebrew per- on, and she was born on the 2ithof March, 1520, at the Swiss village of Muof, while her | ptrents were engaged on 2 professional tour. The family afterwards settied for some time at Lyons, where the eldest child, Sarah, pursued the vocation of a vocalist at the various ca />s. while Rachel (the future actress) collected VOL. XI. money from admiring connoisseurs. In 1830, Paris became the residence of the Felix family, and little Rachel, rising from the merely finan- cial department, joined with her sister asa singer at the cafes on the Boulevards. While thus em reer it seems she attracted the at- tention of M. Choron, founder of the Royal In- stitution for the study of sacred music, who at once took eal of her fortunes. However, he soon discove: that she was more suited for the dramatic than the musical profession, and he accordingly placed her under the tuition of M. St. Aulaire. In 1836 she was admitted as a er at the Conservatoire. Her first appearance in public as an actress was in April, 1837, at the Gymnase, when she played in a piece called ‘La Vendeenne,”’ without making any particular sensation. It is from her perfornrance of Camillé at the Thea- tre Francaise, on the 24th of June, 1858, that her European reputation is to be dated, and to the end this character has remained the most celebrated in her repertory. The mere reader of the tragedy will, indeed, regard the Roman father as the principal personage in “ Les Horaces, ’’ and look upon Carzille asa compara- tively winor part But to those who have seen Mile’ Rachel, and know how elaborate asuper- structure she raised on the small foundation afforded wd the poet, Camille is the character with which she will ways seem identified, not- =e grandeur of her of characters, esteemed of | the highest rank by the critics and analists of | the old French repertory followed immediately upon Camille, and before the season of 1838 led had attained a reputation rare- upon the modern stage. Notwith- & the value of tradition, the classical ba os » Which during the last century was re- ren hes 4¢ # national glory, has pow but slight the French mind. save when it hecomes r the display of an exceptional talent uch @ talent was found in Mademoi- selle Rachel. and the old tragedies remained on the French stage as her exclusive property. New plays were, indeed, written with the view to illustration by her genius, and perhaps the | ‘Adrienne Le Couvreur’’ of M. Scribe was the work in which she drew the most money to the j treasury of the St. James’ Theatre. Never- theless her impersonations of the old classic characters will retain the longest hold on the memory, and that wondrous combination of the highest finish with every appearance of a thorough abandonment to the passion of the moment will for years be looked upon as a marvel to which few artists could offer even a proximate comparison. The Greek heroines of the playbook seemed artificial, courtly crea- tures, decked out in recoco attire; but, ani- mated by Mademoiselle Rachel, they became intensely natural figures, inspired by those strongly defined emotions that are so conspieu- — in the mythical personages of antique elias. Although of late years her London perform- ances were confined to the St. James’ heatre, where her engagement usually followed a series of French vauderilles, her first appear- ance, which was in 1540, took place at Her Majesty's Theatre. However, her permanent position as a regular London “ Star’’ began at the more western establishment. After her last en agement in this country, which took place in fhe Year 1855, she paid that visit to the United States which brings the record of her professional life to its close. Re- ports of declining health or of convalescence formed the staple of intelligence respecting Mademoiselle Rachel since her return from.the other side of the Atlantic, until conjecture was dissipated by the melancholy fact recorded at the head of rticle The London Star says “Mile. Rachel leaves two millions of francs to her eldest boy. She died a stanch adherent of the Mosaie dispensation, though oft and oft rumored to have joined the prevalent form of Christianity in France. A Rabbi from Toulon presided at her Iasthour She is to be buried in the Hebrew Cemetery at Paris. The F.garo has devoted twelve colurans to a kind of om- nium vatherum of anecdotes, letters, and oc- eurrences during her short but brilliant career; and some of ‘iaes letters are odd enough. There is one in exceeding bad French from F. M. the Due de Wellington, who can’t go to her ‘benefice,’ as he has to attend Parliament, ‘of which he is a member.’ The account of her singing * La Marsellaise’ is full of piquancy.”’ The Paris correspondent of the London Times writing on the 7th inst. says ~* The remains of Mile. Rachel are expected this evening in Paris. The budy, which is em- balmed, is accompanied by her brother, Raphael Felix, her sister Sarah, and the Rabbi who was called from Nice to attend her in her last mo- ments. *There is no truth in the statement of an Italian newspaper, that the deceased had conformed to the Koman Catholic faith on her deathbed. The faneral will probably take place to-morrow.” eee SUCCESSFUL PROGRESS IN THE LEVI- ATHAN’S LAUNCH. The process of launching the Leviathan du- ring the week ending the 9th inst., has been eminently successful. The London Times of the 6th says: By the new arrangement, by which all the hydraulic machines are joined with supply pipes in groupes of three. the pressure was got upon the cradles so equally that the Leviathan, after a rest of nearly three weeks, slipped at once for two or three inches, and in short slips of the same kind she continued to progress throughout the day. At 5 o clock, when work was discon- tinued, she had made 29 slips in all—in lengths varying from 2 to 5 inches each, according as the pressure was great and the e'a icity of the timber threw her off with more or less force. Her whole progress was 8 feet 34 inches aft, and feet Linch forward. The reason of this great ifference between the progres: of the stem and stern is, because the forepart of the vessel is always so much in advance as to have twisted the cradles on the ways. Yesterday, therefore, almost the whole of the pressure was applied on the aft cradle, and the difference of position between that and the forward one in a great measure removed. There seems no reason to doubt that if the tackle which hauls her towards the Thames could have been used, the result of yesterday's work would have been some 30 or 40 feet, us it is the strain applied upon the im- mense chains across the river shack kent her in motion for three or four feet when once the rams have started her. As it was, however, in consequence of the accident which happened the day before, when the steam barge, with all the gear for hauling in the chains was sunk by a bark, nothing could be done with the river tackle. This portion of the launching appara- tus is under the charge of Captain Harrison, who has exerted himself so indefatigably since the accident happened that the damage will be almost entirely repaired by to-day, when 80 tons strain will be ready at the stern and 120 at the bows. In addition to the admirable ar- rangemept of joining the rams iz. threcs, each machine is now fitted with a pressure-guage, which records the exact weight per circular incheneach ram. Each ram also, though near- ly ail are capable of bearing a pressure of four or five tons to the inch, has been gauged, and | the eacape-valve so weighted as to let out the water at a pressure of 30 cwt. to theinch. With these precautions it is next to impossible that they can now be burst. The united pressure of all the 21 rams now fixed, and working at 30 ewt. the circular inch, would amount to no less than 4,000 tons, which, as the resistance of the Leviathan has never yet been known to exceed 1 909 tons, ix, of course, more than double they are likely ever to be wanted to exert. From a record kept yesterday of tne pressure upon the rams when each slip was made it seems that the average strain required to move her was 1,300 tons. The variations above and below this standard. however, were constant, and oceur- red in a most unrecountable manner. Some- | times she slipped when the register barely showed 1,000 tons pressure, and then, probably; at the next movement a force of 1,700 ton exerted before they could get her to move an inch. ‘The fires in the braziers in the cradles Eben +> were to be kept up during last night, as it is with reason apprehended thgt the pack- ings of the rams may freeze, which would, of course, occasion much delay before the work to-day could be assumed. The Times of the 8th says : “Launching operations were resumed as usual at an early hour yesterday morning, and continued without interruption till after dusk, by which time an advance of eleven feet was accomplished on the four and aft cradles. The whole of this distance was traversed by the gi- gantic vessel in aseries of short, grinding slips, varying in length from three to six and a half inches, and taking place at regular intervals of ten minutes or so between each. The amount of pressure exercised by ull the hydraulic ma- chines varied from about 2,000 to nearly 2,500 tons, the average, however, showing that the resistance offered by the ship was rather less than on the previous day. The river tackle was only used to a very limited extent, but it will, we believe, be brought into full operation to- day, when it is hoped to accomplish some 30 feet or so.’’ Up to 3 P. M. on the 8th the ship had moved 7 feet forward and 9 feet linch aft. One of the bow chains then failed, and an anchor brought away the piles on the opposite shore. A schooner touched upon the ways forward, and remains till high-water; but none of those accidents interfere with the operations. The ship has only 64 feet to move. nggeeenpennonpenserteaeeeneese Special Notices, To rus CitizENs or Wasuincton.—Wolfe’s Scheidam Aromatic Schnapps.—The proprietor begs leave to call the attention of strangers and the citizens of Washington, toa very superior article of Holland Gin, which he introduced to the American pubiie under the name of Wolfe’s Scheidam Aro- matic Schnapps, This Gin is manufactured by the proftietor exctu- sively at his Distillery in Schredam, Hol: It is le from the best Barley that can be procured in Europe, at any cost, and flavored and medicated, not by the common harsh berry, bur is the mes! choice botanical variety of the Aromatic Italian Ju- uiper Berry, whose more various extract 1s distHl ed and reotified with its Spirituons solvent, and thus becomes a concentrated tincture of exquisite fa- vors and wroma, altogether transcending in its Cor- dis! and Medicinal propertiesany ‘atcohofie beverage heretofore known.
