‘EUROPE. a THE CANADA'S MAILS. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP WASHINGTON, Additional Details of One Week’s Later News, IMPORTANT FROM ITALY, k&e., &e., &o. The Canada, Captain Stone, arrived at Bos- tomat5 yesterday morning. Hy mails reached this cit; ‘o'clock in the afternoon. he left Liverpool on Saturday, the let inst. Soon after the reception of the Canada’s mailag the steamship: arrived, from Bremen and South- ampton. ‘She left Bremen on the 24th ult., made a fine run to Southsmton of forty hours, and finally left Ihe latter port.on the 28th ult. She brings 150 passen- Bers, about 130 tons measurement of German merchan- Aise shipped at Bremen, 50 tons valuable continental goods from Havre, and a small quantity of freight (in- eluding opium, value $10,000.) from Southampton. In consequence of the indisposition of Captain Floyd, who was left behind at Southampton to recover his health, the command. of the Washington has devolved on the for- mer chief officer, Mr, Elisha M. Fitch, whose conduct has obtained the unanimous approbation of the passen- gers, The steamship Humboldt, Capt. Lines, arrived at Cowes, en route to Havre, on the 25th ult., after a run of 14% days, Iler prolonged voyage was caused by the heavy adverse winds she encountered, and by the bad quality of the coals put on board here, ‘Phe royal mail steamship Clyde arrived at Southamp- ton on the 25th ult., with specie, on freight, value $1,286,000, of which about $450,000 was in gold from California. The Mayor of Southampton (Richard Andrews, Exq.,) gave @ grand entertainment (comprising a magnificent dejeuner, followed by a ball) on the day the Washington left, to the directors of all the great steam packet companies connected with the port, including the West India Mail Packet Company, the Peninsular and Oriental Company, the railway and dock companies, and other public bodies. Lord Palmerston was present. Southampton now possesses lines of steam communica- tion to all parts of the world, and the operations of its spirited associations extend from Southampton to Cal- cutta, China, and Australia, eastward. on the one hand; tothe Cnited States, the West Indies, the Pacific, the Brazils. and River Plate on the other. The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company, (West India line) in conjunction with the Pacific Steam Navigation Company of Liverpool, have just determined to forma new company, with a capital of $2.000.000, to run a line of powerful screw propellors from Panama to Australia, touching at New Zealand—the arrivals at and departures from Pavaina to connect with the West India packets plying between Southampton and Chagres, When this enterprise is in operation, a belt of steam communication all round the world will exist from Southampton, viz.: to Sydney, via Panama, and from Sydney to Southamp- ton, via Singapore—the latter line in the hands of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company, whose first steamer. the Chusan, for the Sydney and Singapore ser- vice, was to leave Southampton on the 15th May. The Derby Ministry obtained a victory in the House of Commons, on the 26th ult., the Militia bill having been carried by % majority of 150. The triumph was an ‘unexpected one. The customs conferences were at an end. and but ¢ had been done, Tho Austrian cabinet had deter- mined to make another great effort to regulate the money snarket, which will end like all previous palliatives to her disordered finances, Another grand review took place on the 25th vit., on the Place de Carrousel, Paris, which was attended by the President of the republic end a very numerous con- course of spectators. It is stated that the Minister of General Police has intimated to the proprietors of foreign journals, that unless they rectify, in their own columns, any falschoods published in them, the entry of such journals into Vrance will beinterdicted. The commercial accounts from Paris describe a considerable improve- ment to have taken place in general business, during the past week. The floating debt of Spain, on the Ist ult., accerding to returns justjpublished in the Madrid Gazette, amounted to $40,740,421 reals, ‘ThaPrussian Chambers were open on the 25th ult. In the royal message delivered to the Second Chamber, it was announced that, after the 17th of August, the mem- bers of the Upper Chamber are to be appointed by the King. The return from the Bank of England for the week ending the 24th April. gave the following results when compared with the previous week :— Public deporite, 273 Decrease. Other deposits hams?

The Reception of Ro The official reception given tien in England ; ail the papers are out against it, and the matter was brought before Parliament. We should not be surprised if he was treated as Haynau was by the Londen brewers, The London Mercantile Gazetie, in speaking of Rosas, say: If. however, the accounts which have just reached this country may be relied upon. our countrymen had better reason than perhaps they were then aware of to rejoice at his overthrow ; for, amongst other meditated | acts of atrocity by which he intended to mark his tyran- nic sway, it is wleged that he had left a list with the names of thore whom he intended to cut off should he rove victorious in the battle he was going jo fight---the battle of Mente Casseros. In this list were fe names of | many of the English inhabitants, as well as other fo- reigners. It is easy to conceive how hateful to him must have been the presence of our countrymen, who, he ay have been well assured would view his atrocities with abhorrence, and who. through the medium of the public pes. would publish them in every part of the civilized world. Such is the man we have now amongst us ; end we can only say. that the chorter he makes his stay. the more agrecable it will be to the nation, The Family of Kossuth. {From the Vienna Correspondent of the London Ti It having been found impossible to establish a case against Meedames Meszlényi and Ruttkay. they have been liberated. and are now residing im the Hotel National, | in the Leopoldstadt.

As people here can never do anything with a good grace. difficulties have been,raised about the servants, | who were willing to go with the emigrants, ‘The anthori- ties insist on the Koseuth family emigrating alone, which, inmy opixfon, is most unreasonable. as there are four females and eleven children of the party. From a per- feetly credible source I learn that Madame Mesalényi, who ixeaid to have as much moral courage as all the rest of her family put together, completely baffled all the attempts of the’ authorities to extract any information of consequence from her, ‘The military judge (auditor) to whom the case was entrusted, dictated a pro- tocol purporting to be a recapitulation of the admissions made by the defendants, and Madame M myi was in- struetcd to sign it. * Never,’ cried t rited woman, ‘will I consent to sign that which. though not positivel false. is not perfectly true.

The old lady admonished her children to take courage and to remain firm, ‘as the sun must rise at last. be the night ever co dark and long.” This, I have reason to believe, is the sense, if not the literal translation of a phrase contained in one of the let- ters delivered into the hands of the prisoners, As Madaino | Korsuth and her family will not be permitted to come here, they will meet with Mesdames Meszlényi and Rutt- kay somewhere On the road to Bodenbach,”* | The Expedition to the South Sens. ‘The Herald, 28, Captain Henry Mangles Denham, ar- | rived at Woolwich. om FrMay afternoon, the 23d ult. | from Chatham, and with hex tender, the ‘Torch steam | veseel, Lieutenant Commander Chimmo, will be ready to | leave on their exploring voynge to the South Seas, Tho Herald will take on board bere her chronometers, from jadges at defiance, and hns brought the ques.

He did not think, in the first place, that the pros- t of supplying the deficiency in the revenue, by an in- of customs duties, was very encouraging. (Hear.) In every year from 1840 to 1851, there had been a reduc- tion of duty upon articles of foreign import, including coffee, timber, sugar, butter, and cheese, silk manufac- tures, tallow, copper ore, and upon many other articles upon which revenue was raised; but.the reduction in the customs duties had been systematic—the aggregate reduc- tion in the ten years amounted to £9,000,000 sterling, The House would agree with him, that having a deficiency, and the resources to which he mnst_leok to supply It, 4¢ woula be presumptious to suppose he could induce the House to look to that source.

Paris Correspondence of the London Times.) It is believed by persons who profess to be well inform- eq, that the Italian question is likely to become once more one of interest. Private letters from Rome and fiom some other points of Italy express a similar opinion, ‘The visit of M. de Rayneval to Paris, ostensibly en congé, could scarcely pase unnoticed; and, as might have been expected, it has given rise to a variety of conjectures, the truth of which it is not easy to vouch for. Amongst other rumors: one is to the effect that his visit is not un- ‘connected with the expected establishment of an impe- rial régime in France; and evena whisper goes about— | strange as you may suppose it—that a consecration by the Vope will not be wanting to render still more com- plete the similarity of the events of 1862 with those of 1804. Others refer tho visit of the Envoy to a desire on the part of his Holiness to explain to the French govern- ment the actual position of the Papal States, and the real intentions of their ruler; and you will find a few who suspect that the empected precence of the Archdukes in Rome has something to do with that of M. de Rayneval in Paris. The visit of M, de Butenval (who. by the way, was to have taken his departure for Turin last night) is believed to relate to the Italian question. It is now as vividly as ever called to mind that before the 2d of December the more marked political parties in Italy were the uniterian or Mazzini republicans; the federative republicans; the moderates, who desired what is termed the Piedmontese Bgemonie, and those who pre- ferred the league of (he Constitutional States; and, lastly, the absoiutists, or reactionists. At theapproach of 1852 a great catastrophe was expected in Italy us else- where; rome feared, others desired it. The coup d'état pleased the first, it discouraged the second. But, aa eyents have gone in France since that period, a corres. ponding change has, it seems, taken place in the public mind in Italy, When the principle of popular sovereignty was proclaimed in France, and the souvenirs of the im- pire awakened with the chances of an European war, the Italian liberals began to indulge in new hopes, and listen to the propagandism which would make the Ro- mans believe in the approaching realization of the reforms contained in the famous letter addressed to Colonel Ney—the Neapolitans in the re-establishment of the Murat family on the throne of the Two Sicilies— and the Lombards in the re-construction of the ancient kingdom of Italy, or its re-union with Piedmont in com- pensation for Savoy, which would fail to France. These ideas and hopes were so circulated in the Peninsula that it was for a moment thought the Italian governments, with the view of preventing popular explosions, were preparing to make concessions. proclaim an amnesty, and re-establish the institutions of 1848, Time has shown how little founded were these expectations, as the policy of the governments soon became quite in an opposite sense, The king of Naples, in fact, has increased the rigour of his domestic policy, re- inforced his army, fortified Gaeta, and adopted ne- ceseary measurcs for the repression of any attempt at revolution or a change of dynasty. The Grand Duke of Tuscany, under the influence ofthe Court of Rome, annulled one by one the guarantees the country had long enjoyed; and he is-still disposed to suppress the Leopoldine laws relative to mortmain, to clerical juris- diction, and the ecclasiastical immunities. The minis- ters. with the exception of M. Boccelia, having tendered their resignation, rather than accept those conditions of office. the Grand Duke hesitated in adopting a decisive measure, all the more that the Charge d’ Affaires of France is reperted to have declared that his government would see With dissatisfaction any change in a reactionary sense, In the meantime, I am informed, on good autho- rity, that the discontent is on the increase, so much so that the Austrian corps that was to quit Tuscany, will, haps, still remain there some time longer. Pati is particularly at Rome that the spirit of resist- to every sort of reform is most severely felt,-with re- ference to internal aud external affairs. Not only has the Pope not re-established the institutions which existed in 1848, and which he himself had granted; not only has he not taken any account of the letter of the President of the Republic. of the 18th of August, 1849. but he has not ven curried into execution the incomplete measures in- dicated in the proclamation of Gaeta, in the month of Sep- tember, of the same year, The old system of oppression has been maintained in all its vigor; ecclesiastical juris- diction, the Inquisition, the Tribunal of the Vacariat, have been re-established; and the superior administra- tive functions have been again placed in the hands ofthe clergy. ‘The Pontifical Court still contemplates the réestablish- ment of the Catholic denomination. After having ob- tained concessions from Austria, and from Spain, with reference tomatters connected with religion and the press, it now wishes to give the lawto Tuscany and Sardinia, From the former it demandé the destruction of the works of the great Leopold; and from the latter con- ditions that are inadmissable, such as the renunciation law on civil marriages, the recall of Monsignor archbishop of Turin, and the censorship of. the press in religious matters, The Court of Rome is Well aware that Piedmont will refase sueh conditions; nevertheless, it insists on them, relying, as it does, on the support of the Catholic Powers, but at the almost certain risk of dangerously agitat.ng the country, and placing the Sardinian government in the greatest em- bwrasrment. Well informed Italians believe that thore Powers. and particularly England, whose interest it is to protect the liberty and independence of the Italian States, should be convinced that if a desire exist to settle the aflaixs of Italy, and (o secure the tranquillity of the Peninsula, the Roman question must, first of all, be ar- ranged in a sense favorable to the interest of the popula- tion, and in harmony with the advancing civilization of the age. They point to the fact that all the States soon imitated the example of Pius IX. in grauting liberal in- stitutions to the people ; and they are of opinion that the introduction of them now at Rome, would be a8 quickly followed by their introduction into other States. France stands in a peculiar position to- wards Rome, both because she has an army there, and because she has, through her government. pi intervention in the aflairs of Central Italy in favor of liberal institutions, The speech of M. Odilon Barrot, when applying for the meaus of furnishing the Reman expedition. is not forgotten ; neither are the nd clomutions which accompanied it, nor the declarations of the diplomatic envoys of the French government. It wos propored, nd®@ merely to maintain the constitution, but to give it still greater developement, and to render it inviolable. under the guarantee of France; and in the sitting of the Aseembiy of the 14th of June, M.

Fatal Case of Hydrophobia—Melancholy asualty. {From the Albany Evening Journal, 12th insf.] Tho fumily of Philip Ogsbury, of Guilderiaad, in this county, hate been terribly afflicted. One in- teresting boy has already perished, and two other members of the family, having been bitten, live in agonizing apprehension. The facts, as communica- ted to us, are as follows :—About six weeks since, one of Mr. O.’s boys, ten years of age, was bitten by a pet dog which had been raised in the family, and of which the children were very fond. They were in the habit of playing with him every day, and wore so engaged when they were bitten. Nothing was thought offft at the time, nor until about the first of this month, when a hog, which had also been bitten, was seized with the hydrophobia and died. This alarmed the family, who at once procured such articles as were understood to be serviceable in such cases—among other things a tea made from the inside of white ash bark. This was drank freely by the youngest boy ; but the other, who has since died, could not be induced to drink it. OnThursday, ri the eldest boy complained of slight indisposition, and on the morning of the 7t! hysicians were called in, who pro- nounced the case hydrophobia. The pont oy gére every indicatfon of the fearful malady, and suffered ci from spasms and conyulsions— roguizing while in his spasmodic agony, two men to hold him, although but ten years of age. He continued to suffer thus, until the evening of Saturday, when he la; quaatly for an hour, and died. ‘The brother of the deceased, who was also bitten, is but five years old; and the third person, (Francis Ogsbury) is a young man, late uate of the Normal School, and nephew of the father of the two boys. When the fearful truth was revealed, he was teaching school in the town of Glen, Schenec- tady county. His uncle gent for him immediately upon the death of the boy, and he is now at home, in the hands of a Mr. Clow, of Columbia county, who was a student of the celebrated Dr. Crouse, and who is said to have been successful in treating this terrible disease. We trust that he may prove so in this case. Up to last evening, no symptoms of the malady had manifested themselves in the persons of the two survivors; but as it is positively known that they were bitten, they live in fearful appre- hension.

Yesterday morning, about half-past eleven o'elock, a large fire broke out in French’s Hotel, kept by Mr. French. situated on the corner of Frankfort and Chatlam streets, involving considerable destruction of property and loss of life. The fire first commenced either in the washing or drying room, in the sixth story of the rear wing of the building; and in consequence of the combustable nature of the articles in the place, and the strong wind that pro- vailed at the time, spread with uncommon rapidity, so that the whole back roof was enveloped in flames in a very short time. The firemen, who were peepny on the ground in great numbers, experienced at first much dificulty in reaching the fire, owing to the. immense height of the building, which ca some delay, and allowed the fire to get considerable headway. When, however, the hose was adjusted. so that they could play with full force upon the flames, by being carried up through the interior of the building. and on the tops of the adjoining houe, the fire was very seon under, Hofore it was completely ext |. however, it had extended all along the south-eastern wing, and had reached the fifth and a portion of the fourth stories, caus- ing considerable damage to the building. ye regret to announce a loss of lite by this o - tion. A’body was found by Henry Howard, Assistant Knginoer, in the place where the first originated. almost burned to a crisp, It was at first supposed to be the hody of the old female domestic, known in the hotel as“ Old Sarah,” who was missing for some time; but. upon examination, it was discovered to be the body of Christian Burh, cabinet maker. who had bee engaged on Monday last. He was at work in the sixth story at the time, and how it happened that he could not make his esenpe along with the gis, who were also engaged in that portion of the building, is a difficult matter to say, It is any that he must have returned tor his tools, when he was overtaken by the fire and suffocated, ‘The Coroner will hold an inquest upon the body this morning.
