A Glance at Sardinia. ‘To any impartial and intelligent tourist, who in ‘Ourday passes through Italy, he cannot cast a glance at her present political degradation and fallen groat- Ress, but with a sorrowful look, should his mind wander to what transpired in that beautiful country Mm tho years 1848 and 1519.

Let us exam co awhile the political state of Piedmont. When the traveller crosses the Alps, to pass into Italy, be sees the national Italian flag waving proudly over the towers of Piedmont. Descending those buiwarks, which seem created by Bature to sepaiate |t«iy from foreign foes, he wit- nesses everywhere besut ful cities, acultivated land, an industrious and v)xvrous people; and from every- where appears before him prosperity, happiness, progress, civilization, wod liberty. The freedom of the public pressin Picumvaot is guaranteed, and re- ligiously observed by ‘he cunstitation, which has never been violated or alicred There has not been a single occasion that « paper had been suppressed. ‘The constitution, as in vur country, pretects persons from the injurious attacks of a libertine or anarchi- cal press; the violators of the law are imprisoned and judged by jury, but the journal is never abolished.

The citizen is equal to ail before God and the constitution, and the King himeelf cannot adopt any governmental measure, or make any new law, or grant any privilege, without the sanction of the Parliament and Senate. The ministers are responsible towards the constitution | and people, and on no vccavion have they abrogated their power. Piedmont, surrounded by hostile pewers, as even France, under the government of her President | Prinoe, is opposed to the lideral policy of this coun- try, has always advanced a step more in the way | Of progressive instivuions Aithough the war ageinst Austria bad boo declared with the consent of the Vatican of Napies and Tuscany, these powers having becowe traitors to the holy cause, ieft Piedmont alone to fight her battles, and Pied- moot paid to Austria, in less than two years, seven- ty-five millions of francs Free of all treaties ac- Copted nolens volens, Sardinia began to ameliorate her civil, political, and financial condition. Rail- ‘ways were decreed all over the kingdom, and when the national resources vere not sufficient to advance this gigantic enterprise, loans were contracted in foreign countries, which were ingured on State stocks, and liberally accepted. We shall speak in futare of the system of railways in Piedmont—let ‘as cay word of the italian gration, protected and rescued by the noble subalpine nation. It ia ascertained that no: less than forty thousand exiles from all parts of Italy are living in Piedmont, and almost every one bas found occupation to lead an independent life At their arrival, committees wore named, in order to provide to their wants; public establishments were erected to lodge, and to offer them employment in all branches ; numerous fubsoriptions and donations were made by the go- Vernment and people —‘here is not public place Or s banquet, or @ festival whatever, where some money is not collected tor the |talian emigration. ‘Those who, in their country, were situated in an in- dependent life, their fortuues being confiscated, or had belonged to civil arts, or had obtained grade in the army, were haudsowely provided with per- manent olde T riven Parliament, with the sanction of the liberal King, Vittorio Emmana” ele, granted s monthly pay to all those who had been members of Par! * in Rome, Venice, Naples, and Sicily; and, ar » #pe vial favor, all those who had fought in Venice were allowed a yoarly pension until Italy shail see better days. Hut the greatest of all the progressive reforms introduced in Pisdmont is yet to be said. We have spoken of the civil and political free institutions of that country, et as calmly examine what that go ernment and nation have done for the sake of religion. The Sardinian constitution, proclaiming the Ca- tholic faith the State religivn, had also provided that all other religious worships should be tole- tated and protested, and nuw we see, in the middle of the city of Turin, where, only five yoars ago, ® bishop could match away from the bosom of his family ® person reading ()odate's translation of the New Testament, erecting » large and elegant Pro- testant temple, open to all vitizens. After the fall of Napoleon, Piedmont being returned to its an- cient kings, al) the ecolosineti sal laws which favored religious institutions, and granted almost an illi- mited power to the clergy, were re-established, and did continue to oppress the poople, in opposition to all civil and criminal jurisdictions, even before the constitation of 1545. One of the prime ministers, Signor Siccardi, proposed, in 1450, to the Chambors the total abolition of ecclesiastical tribunals, of the privileges of autyda fé, evjoyed by the clergy, and as the constitution guaranteed the equality of al) citivens, without distinction, that the priests and a)) religious persons should be governed by the same general laws. This project was adopted by the en tire majority of the Parliament and Senate, aad the privilege which caused charch property to be free of taxation, was simultaneously abolished. ‘The clergy began « most shameful and bitter war egainst the King and beth Chambers, accusing (bm of infidelity, of Protestantism, and what not, In their blind rage they went as far as to refuse to a member of the King’s Cabinet the minister Santa Rosa, because he voted in favor of the repeal of ecclesiastical privileges. The Bishops of Turin and Cagliari, in Sardinia, openly, and by printing, advised the people to oppose the execution of the constitutional laws, conspired in secret against the government and nation, and obtained from Rome a papal uliimatwm, threaten- ing Piedmont with the thunders of excommunica- tion! What has the government to do in such a crisis? | To stand firm and faithful to the constitution, to cause it to be executed and observed at any sacri- fice, amd to the spiritual menaces of Rome to an- swer with dignity and independence. Such was the conduct of that power. The two rebellious prelates, judged by a jury, were condemned to a perpetual banishment, while their properties were confiscated the ancient statu quo. | vuntry (only yesterday | for the benefit of philanthropic institutions. The retrograde press opened its batteries against this dignified proceeding, but failed in all its attempts to overthrow the order of things. This kingdom, with only five millions of inhabi- tants, is worthy of the consideration and grateful- ness of all republican and constitutional States, as its sovereign, parliament, and people unanimously co-operate to strengthen those moderate free insti- tutions which alone can secure peace and prosperity to Europe. As it is impossible to pass at once to the ultra-democratic form of government, it requires time and education, the last one a virtue so much wanted in the masses of European people. Pied- mont in our days has nothing to envy te any re- publican government, and any one may wonder at her constancy and firmness in being the only con- stitutional and free nation left by the so many popu- lar revolutions of 1848. All other people, and we may say even France,have fallen under the ancient regime. We shall return to this subject, as it is our inten- tion to publish a narrative of the free-trade trea- ties concluded by Sardinia with several foreign powers. Remintacences of Lopez. We have received, from an acquaintance of the late General Lopes,a fow additional facts, which may serve to give a further insight into the charac- ter of the man whose name has become distin- | guished from his connection with the two defeated expeditions against Cuba, as well as from his early career as a soldier. It appears that in 1822, Lopes wasacolonel in the Spanish army, in Colombia, South America, and was engaged in the war | against General Bolivar. In one engagement he made prisoners of the entire staff of Bolivar, inclu- ding the nephew of the liberator of South Ame- rica, who was @ colonel. These he treated kindly, and exchanged them for other officers. Subsequent- ly Lopez himself, and all of his officers, were captured near Quito. All of them had previously broken their parole, and, with the exception of Lopez him- self, all of them were shot. Lopez was kept in | irons forjnine months, and was then brought in chains to Guayaquil, where Bolivar was embark ing troops for the conquest of Peru. The gratitude of Belivar’s staff officers fer the kind treatment | | they had received while in the hands of Lopez, aid | ed by the mistress of Bolivar, who was an old friend | of General Lopez, resulted, through intercessions, in saving the life of the man. Bolivar consented to | spare him, on condition that he would embark on | board a vessel commanded by Captain Skiddy, and | leave the country. Accordingly he went on board, | and as he was badly clothed, Captain Skiddy sup- plied all his wants for a voyage round Cape Hora. On the arrival of the vessel at Gibraltar, the Bri- | tish government would not permit him to land, and | Captain Skiddy hired a fishing-boat to convey him to Spain. On parting with him, the captain pra sented to him twenty doubloons, that Lopez might | clothe himself according to his rank. Lopez landed in Spain, where he procured a passport, and soon after visited bis friend at Gibraltar. After that | period he went into active service in Spain, and then went to Cuba, where he married a wealthy ady. During the passsge of Lopez from South Ameri- | cato Gibralter, Lopez wrote a history of the war and of the cruelties perpetrated upon the natives in South America. In that manuscript, he stated that when escorted over the mountains, and in chains, he frequently forgot his own sufferings at the scenes before him. The poor Indians, whenever found, were seized for the service, and ironed in pairs by the wrists, which were somotimes chafed through so as to exhibit sores alive with vermin. Such were the sufferings of the poor fellows, that | they would frequently plunge headlong to death when passing a precipice—dashing themselves to pieces on the rocks beneath. To this account it was added, that when men died on the road, the officers of Bolivar were obliged to produce the ears or some limb of the victuns as a testimony that they had not escaped or deserted. This manuscript was loaned by Captain Skiddy, in Paris, toa person who has never returned it. It isthe opinion of Captain Skiddy, from whem those facts have boon obtained, that Lopez was affable in his manner and kind-bearted—that he possessed little judgment and less principle. He visited the city, where his early benefactor resided, yet never called upon him His bravery cannot be doubted, though, in an ac- tion, he suffered much from vous excitement. Lopez gave it as his opinion that Bolivar, in forty- ty-two battles, only won two of them. Obituary Notices.

Tuomrsonvitie, Conn , Oc Meeting of the Commerticut Pres hytery— Minis Association for Mutwal Improvement —Interesting | Discussion—New Church in Hartford. The Presbytery of Connecticut met in the Pres- byterian church, in this village, last evening. A | metapbysical sermon on sin, aod redemption by atonement, was preached by the ev. Mr. Dumont, of Newport, Rhode Island Immediately after the benediction had been pronounced, the meeting of the Presbytery was opened, with prayer, by the Rev. Dr. Harvey, of this village The roll) was called, and the following Presbytery answered to their names —Kev. Jeane Harvey, D. D , ‘Thom sonville, Conn.; ‘ames Ely, do.; Rev. A. Henry Dumont, Newport, Khode Island; Rev. Robert J. Thompson, Tariffville, Conn; Rev. Alexander Leadbetter, New Hartford, Conn; Rev. Chauncey G. Lee, Windsor, Conn; The following members were absent :— Kev. Gerish Bar- ret, agent of the |’rison Discipline Society; and Rev. A.B. L. Myers, of New Haven, Conn. The Presbytery appointed Kev. Mr. Dumont, Moderator, and Rev. Mr. Ely, Clerk; and then adjourned to meet at 5 o’cleck this morniag, in Session Hall. At the appointed hour they met pursuant to ad- journment. Prayer was offered by the Moderator. ‘Reports on the state of religion were called for. (oe Dr. Haxvey, of Thompsonville, spoke, in substance, as follows:—There ts no special atten: | tion to the subject of religion amongst us. Our meetings are pretty well attended, considering all existing circumstances. The most encouraging | fact amongst us is that our Sabbath school is wel attended. There has been one member added to the church since the last meeting of the Presbyte- | ry; and several within the year, principally from | the Sabbath school, and | consider that flourishing But there is no particular attention to religion amongst us. Elder ANDERSON, who appeared as a lay member, from Dr. Harvey's Society, remarked that for the last twelve months the interes: in the Sabbath school had been more intense than ever before. Rev Cuavuncey G. Lee, of Windsor, was next ealled upon. He remarked that as he had no | church he hardly knew what the call required of | him. His situation had been peculiar. All his at- tention had been occupied during the past summer | in fitting out his son for California, and now he had | debts to collect and pay for him, and other business to attend. | A reverend brother here ipteroupsea Mr. Lee with the remark that the etate of religion was the subject on which he was desired to report. : Mr. Lex replied, that if permitted to go on in his course he would presently arrive at that. He then expressed his interest in this bhai baat and the generally satisfactory state of his own religious pec py His health, he said, was poor, and he had only occasionally preached. He considered that there was @ great deterioration in ths churches of Connecticut, in doctrine arid discipline, from the standard of former times, and, he added, it was never too high. ee Mr. Exy, of New Hartford, next spoke. He had been laboring as a missionary at Hartford; he | had established a Sabbath school, and had taken | initiatory steps for the organization of a church. Rev. Mr. spy of Newport, R.I., said that | his time for several years past had been mainly de- | voted to the cause of public education in his own town. He generally preached every Sabbath; help- _ ing the lame and the lasy wherever he was needed. | Sometimes he supplied a pulpit for the Baptists; sometimes for the Unitarians, and he considered it a privilege to be offered an opportunity to preach what be considered the truth to the different deno- | minations. \ Rev. Mr. Tuomrson, of Tariffville, Conn , stated that since last October twenty-one members had been added to his church. ‘The prayer meotings, | since last November, had been so Se that they | were obliged to hold them in the church. The effect of t! oa yy services, = ge mips eran | | principally upen the young people. lost of the po of ra fal conversion have been from the Sab- | bath school. Of late, he continued, since the trou- bles in .business have commenced in our village, there has been considerable falling off. This is owing entirely to the condition of the manufacturing business, on which most of our people depend. This is so entirely uncertain, that tl © § are mainly anx- | ious to know how they will be fed and wherewithal | they shall be clothed. We are alsoin trouble about | the title to our church. While on this subject, Mr. T. paid a handsome tribute to Mr. Thompson, the carpet manufacturer, both for his it liberality, | and the interest which he continued to manifest in behalf of the church Rev Mr. Leapperrer, of New Hartford, Conn., | id that he had preached some in the new church, in the town where he resides; but, ne said, had no stated place of preaching. 4 report on the narrative came next in order. | Considerable discussion took place in rogard to the | Book of Records of the Tariffville church, in conse- uence of an entry contained therein, to the effect that @ person had been admitted on the strength of a certificate that he was a member of the Methodist Church, in regular standing—it not appearing that previous to his admission he was examined as to his Teligious views To this the Rev. Dr. Hanvry took exception. Rev. Mr. Tuomrson said that the Tariffville church regarded the church of Christ as the school | of Christ. They did not require from members absolute adherence te the articles of faith. Thoy | draw the cords on the ministers, but not on the members. In one sense, Mr. T., we cxamine ail applicants. We 7 pledge, that if hoe | hold any doctrine at variance win pure, they shall make no disturbance about it in our churen; aud we admit them on that conditi I, for one, said he, enter my decided protest against this exclu- siveness and bi in the nineteenth ccatury, | which would exclude from fellowship every private member who differs from us on some point of doc- trine. I go for holding ministers strictly to the mark, because they are teachers. Mr. Thompson | ere was, inthe case referred to, # personal examina- tion, which resulted satisfactorily. Rev. Mr. Evy ooncurred, substantially, in opinion, with his brother Thompson Rev. Dr. Hanvey said:—I do not object to the method of obtaining a knowledge of a candidate for admission. I care not how you come at it, so you do but come at it. But | hold that the views should be sound. The case under discussion is that ofa person admitted on certificate of member- thip of the Methodist Church, without any state- ment of an examination. Their creed is entirely at variance with ours. It is said you must be very strict with the ministero—you must cord them up to the ring—but it is not so much matter about the members. Now, | am a minister, and! should be sorry to have a church to deal with who were all admitted on the ground of belief in the tenets of the Methodist Church. My brother Thompson gives some relief to the matter by ee sining the vouver- tation with the member, but that should be upon the record General Twiggs Major MD. entered the service on the discussion was kept up for some time, when Ist of July 1541 He was & native of Pennsylvania. it was voted: the records of Tariff- ‘Thomas T ‘s veteran of the war of 1812, died | ville Ch be ed, with the exception to at New Orleans om the 12th inst . aged 74 years. page sixty-firet, wi it appears that an individual Frederick Wii iam Charles, of Prussia, died at his re- was the a“ tbe Becond was born at lotedam, on the Sd of Jaly, 1788, and married im 1804, the Princess Marie Anne of Hesse Homburg He served actively in the army during France. which terminated #0 dianstrously at the battle of Jrus In 1808 he undertook « mission to Paris, te endeavor to procure from Napoleon some dimination of the beavy bardems be had imposed om Prussia by the terme of the treaty of Tiledt.

Four years ago we, too, were at war with Mexico. We know that the Apa- ehcs make @ distinction between Chihuahua aad Sonora. They are at peace with Chihuahua, but | always fighting agsinst Sonora. We in our war did not make that distinction. The Mexicans, whether living in one or the other State, are all one nation, and we fought them asa nation. Well, when the war was over, in which we conquered, we made peace with them. They are now our friends, and y the terms of the peace we are bound to protect them.

The rains did not extend far from the river, sod ha crop on the uplands has not been benefitted yy them. One of the Caddo Indians, named Blackhead, well known on the Trinity, states that he has found @ large quantity of gold, in the Comanche country, near the sources of the Trinity, about three hundred miles from the Coshatte village. He has offered to conduct a party to the spot, and we un- derstand that a number ef the settlers near Smith- field intend to accompany him. According to his description of the country, it must be similar to the gold region of Santa Fe. The Marcha Railroad combate have already graded about five miles of their road, and are steadily prosecuting the work.

Whe Late Murder In Boston. [From the Boston Daily Times, Oct. 20.) We are pained to record, this morning. one of the most barbarous deeds—from information at present at hand— that bas occurred in thia city since the killing of Dr. Parkman. It is the murder of a sister—a young and beautiful married woman—by her own brother, who re- The Hungarian Exiles.

It is said he will proceed directly to Wash ington, after landing in America, in order to thank the President per: v, for the gencrous assist- ance iendered. It is also said he will make s tour through the different States, before taking up his per ent residence. Casimir Batthyany is 43 years of age, was born at Presburg, and was a member of the upper house, or Chamber of Magnates, of the Hungarian Parliae ment. Though of the highest nobility, he was one of the most ardent leaders of the Hungarian revolu- tion, being, during the latter part of it, Minister of Ww: pe ol Kossuth. ne Beothy, who is fifty-five years old, iss tinguished Hungarian author. He was very active as a Commissary of the Hungarian govern- ment, during the whole war, in various parts of the country, not only in organizing troops, but also in taking part in milit operations. He was parti- cularly prominent in the defense of Szegedin. Ho was also @ member of the Diet. Ladislaus Mai feurty-one years of leader of the ex:reme liberal party of the Hunga- rian Diet, from the beginning ef the movement of 1848. On the establishment of the “Committee of Public Safety,” he was sapelnted Minister of Police, and continued from this time, to advocate the most decided measures against Austria. Michael Horvath, 47 yoars old, born at Sze; “e3 was the Catholic bishop of Isanad, and member the Chamber of Magnates ; was the first of the Ca- tholic bishops that appeared at the Diet, whon transferred from Pesth to Debreezin, owing to the approach of Windischgrats, and voted for the de- cluration of independence in the upper house, on the Mth of April, 1849. He was afverwards Minis- ter i Public Worship and Instruction under Kos- suth. Lazar Magearos, 49 years old, was Major General in the Austrian army in 1848 Was called in the tummer of that year from the Italian army, under Radetsky, to take the Ministry of War in ngary. After much hesitation, and the most pressing invi- tation, he accepted the appointment, and then de- voted himself to the good of his country, though fearful of the result. Dw the first part of the revolution he remained Minister of War, but was subsequently succeeded in this post by Battbyany, and then took the field as commander of an arm) corps, with the rank of Lieutenant Field Marshal. He was at the same time director of all the military schools of Hungary. Moritz Perczel was a distinguished deputy of the Diet, and then Genera! of a corps raised and organ- ized by himself. He was as successful in the fold a ad been in the tribune. His brotber, Nichelas Perezel, was also a mem- ber of the Diet, and likewise took the field, but neither did he become so distinguished, though was at one time commander of the important for- trees of Peterwardien.

Van Wagner, of Poughkeepsie, New York, who is at present engaged on board the towbost Lion. On his return from California, Davis was a as@ rigger at the Chariestown Navy Yard, from which situation he was discharged a few days since. ‘The horrid tragedy we are about to relate occurred in a wooden tenement in the rear of No. 41 Charter street. The house was occupied by Van bg op his wife, the prisoner, and his children. The entrance is through @ narrow alley ie —_ Charter a: vg “ . Yesterday, at noon, the whole family dined together.

While he was absent, another of his children went into Mrs. Van Wegner’s apartment and fourd her lying on the floor, weltering in her blood, and her throat cut from ear toear. The child screamed | and ran out of the house to alarm the neighbors, Mr. Bar- ker, who resides in the vicinity, led by the cries of the boy, entered the house, and ving at once the nature of the bloody deed, immed: procured the services of officer Tarleton and Coroner Pratt with whom he return- ed While they were examining the body, Davis enterad the room below, smoking a cigar, and appearing perfectly composed.
