Weray,atall risks and at all events, Avstria acd Sardinia are feftto themselves we cual] hear | keep England out of this struggle between two dynastic fm a few days of an invasion and a battle. Every- ai points this out as the nataral sequence. The gudcen ltimotrm and the short reprieve are evi- Mentiy “par: of a well considered military policy formed by Austria. Jt is clearly her interest, 1 sho fe reeoived upon war, or if ehe fecls t i be com- pelled to accept war, to crush the Sardinian army before the’Frerch can arrive to its wesistance. Tne march from ‘the banks of the Ticino to Turin is through a plain coun- wy tected by any p’ace of military strength, well hnewn by operations io a recent campeign, and offering ‘every fucilty for the advance of a greatarmy. Taree days would bring the Austrian General to the unprotected ity of Turi. There is nothing between the frontier and She capital but the arms and bodess of those 40,000 Sar- @tnian troops, who are se yastly outnumbered by the Aus- Arian hosts. 'To crush that army, to éffecs by force the disarmameut demanded, and to dictate terms at Turin, ‘wonid be but the effort of a few days, if Sardinia remained unfriendsi. When we see her in this im- ‘minent danger we look round anxiously to measarehow far off ere her friends, and what may be the chances of timely arsistance. We may assume, perhaps, that the passing of the Ticino will be considered by the Emperor of ‘tbe French as a decinration of war by Austria, aud that while the Austrians are marching from the Kast upon Torin the French Emperor will be oytig his columns from the West and marching through the passes of the Alps to meet the Austrian imvaders, and to antici- Rs, if posmbie, their arrival at the Sardician capital. this purpose we may consider Grenoble or Briancon es containing the whole force of the French empire, for the chains of communication by rail are so complete “tbat cootipvovs columns might be directed from all rts of France upon those cities. The coiumne, ever, that should take their way by Chambery and Mont Cen is wou'd find themgelves 180 miles from Tarin when croering into the Piedmontese yerritory at the Pont @e Beauvoisin. Thoee which should advance oy way of @morun and Brtavcon and over Mont Genevre cou'd fod a better road and a shorter distance on the Piedmontese side of the Alps, but would still scarcely bope to win the race ageinst the Austrian troops commie DY the plains. Again, help might qu:ckly arrive from ‘Toulon and Mar. wetites by way Of Genoa; Tonion ig rich in transports, and afew hours might laud a respectable force at Genos. From Genoa there is a railway to Turin; but, unfortuvateily, it winds away far up to the north- east, and a important portion of it would pro. Pedly be reachet and destroved by the Aus- Srians ip their firet day's march. We should not be very confident in trusting she safety of a kingdom to the pos- sibility of uniting before Turip columns which had to penetrate the Alps and to arrive from Genoa, if one con- ition of the military success of such an operation wore ‘that the concentration should be effected in three or four, or even in five or Bix days.

If tt must be go, let them it; no Eoglieh tateeman can suppose by weakening eac! other they can become more dangerous to us. (From the London Daily News, April 22.) The boar is at band! Proud in the command of an overgrown army, and flattered by the base subserviency of European statesmen, the Emperor of Austria defles the sentiment -of the civilized world, and precipitates war. To stamp out ideas with the hoof of the war horse has been for ages the dearest del of the family of Francis Josepb; and he is worthy of ancestors. Austria has rejected the proposals of a Congress, on conditions to which all the other great Powers, and be trguttul> bad eee She cig eer mit the ttul system she puri in Italy to inepection. Better war—better even defeat aad compelled that horrible exposure ‘and condemnation before Europe. To surrender at the point of the sword her arbitrary interference in the in- dependens States of Italy would be tolerable, a soldierly submission to the fortune of war,a reverent homage to brute force; to retire within her treaty frontier in conse- quence of the deliberations of a Congress, woald be a slavish deference to reason, opinion, and the force of ideas, such a the Austrian Exoperor will never consent to. After months spent in bringing the impartial opinion and disinterested statesraanship of Eu- rope to tbe solution of Italian difficulties—at a moment when England, Russia, Prussia and France had agreed on the means of preeervi peace and doing justice—when King Victor Emanue) had given a signal proof of his readiness to make sacrifices for the pre- fervation of the general peace, Austria, without notice. withdraws her quarrel with Sardinia from the domain of diplomacy, and insists on settling it with the sword. This is @ monstrous insult to all the neutral Powers, but most of all to ngland, the mean snd grovelling compli- ances of Lord Malmesbury—for the flattery of Lord Derby—for the sacrifices mate by the entire Cabinet in preferring Anstrian favor to the approval of their own just and geberous countiymen, thi is the fair return, the Tighteous retribution. Count Gyu'ai presents an ultimatum tothe Court of Ta rin; Sardinia must disarm, not as taking part in a general disarmament, by voluntary agreement with the great Powers, and under the regulations of a joint commission, but at the peremptory order of Austria, and in such man: per af ber generals and marshais may dictate. Before all things she must send away the 16,000 volunteers who haye flocked unbidden to her standard from ali paris of Italy. Let her refuge to do this within three days, acd Aovstria will Ceclare war. Austria has declared war. This ultimatam—to speak of it for @ moment as if it were a bona side diplomatic mand, intended for serious consideration—is a monstrous pronoral to extend to Piedmont the same infamous poticy which has reduced ail the other States in Italy to suojeo: It is a demand that the one Constitution al State, which is the hope and joy of every Jtalian pa. ull atrip naked, and prostrate herself at tne fee! of oppressor of Central and Southern Europe. We will not ineult the King of the noble Twenty-five Thou tand’who fougbt at our side in the Crimea—we will not in eult our readers—by discuesing this mock proposition, Tt Willnot be accepted; it will not be entertained; it is already rejected. The sovereign, the people, the army are unau! mous. “I will fignt a second Novara,” said Victor Emanuel, a day or two ago, “rather than’ surrender the noble Italian youth who have placed coniidence in me.” Count Gyulai’s declaration of war follows hard upoo Count Buol’s recent exposition of Austrian policy in Italy as pureued for nearly baif acentury, and is its vational courequence. Inthe despatch of the Austrian Foreign Minister, dated Feb. 25, it is solemniy declared that Italy can never have free inetitutions, but must always be gov erned by the bayonet, that the Princes of Italy havea legiti- mate right to deliver their territory to the military postes- wicn and their subjects to the stripes of Austria, and that to contest this is to deny their independence—that the Pupal government needs reform in its army, and that if oer reforms are needed in Italy, none can be underta- ken while Piedmont retains her system. Such is the sum (ogres: Buol’s declaration, and he ig not expounding an le theory. To defend bud governments against peoples weary of sufleripg, Austria has successively occupied every State ip Italy. Since 1816 her armies have been for five years in Naples, for six in Tuscany, for six in Modena, for six in Parma, for twenty-five in the Papal States. There is not ome of the petty princes south of tno Po who does .not know that, however badly ho msy behave, there is ® great power at hend which will iofailibly Protect ‘him against the indignation of iue people. In 1815 austria bound the King of Napies by treaty to administer his government according to her ‘aoeolutist principles. At: Laybach, when there was dan- ger that constitutional government might strike root in tbe same kingdom, Prince ‘Matvernich declared that ‘if the King himeeif wanted to estabtish the constitutenal svetem, the Eraperor-would make war upon him.” {n 1822 the Austrian Minister declared, in the name of his mas- ter, Chat “the dustitutions of representative government could not and sbould not be established: in any single fe. Jian State.”’ When the Austrians left ®:@Ponti ical States in 3622, the Emperor igformed the Cardinal Legate, of Ferii, that “be should return, as he had come, unasked, when. ever he thought proper.” Whea, in 131, the Freach gor- erpment remonsirated against a renesed occupatiog ot the Papal States, Metternich replied that his master wa3 determined to intervene, atthe cost of a general war And now we ask, Who is It that hag agaociated freedom with warin Italy? Who but the Power which daclares that oniy by the aword shall Italy become free? This i the policy of Austria—e¥gnitted, conciliatory”’ Austra, as Mr, Disracli bas just described her. And now can apy one doubt what bag impelled the flowersf che youth oftaly to tho banner of the Monarch wivo Ras exerted himsif to put an end to the oppression of his a ‘ountry men? Blind of heart must he be who does not see that this is a renewal of the undying streggie between freedom and tyranny. Every Engliahman will follow it wita his sym Path.cs an¢ prayers.

Tbe question now assumes larger bri . But war treaties are abrogated, and Austria will pow fight for the destruction of Piedmont and the consolidation of her empire in Italy; white France, Sardinia and the liberal party of Italy wil endeavor to expel the Austrians from the entire Penia- sula. In this the people of England, outraged by the tyranuies of Austria, capped by ker infamous aggres- gion, will heartily join in sentiment. But “ uoutrality”’ should be our cry, reserving to ourselves to use ine great influence of England at the proper time. Tbe war ehould be one for the freedom of Italy, aad thie country would most undoubtedly discountenaace and resist any attempt, if apy ever were contemplated, to substitute French for Austrian rule. We have thus a great part to play, for our own interests no less than for those of Italy and of Europe. We do not conceai our earnest bope that, on the meeting of Parliament, the ad- ministration of affairs may be removed trom the hands of her Majeety’s present advisers. But, atthe same time, if the Ministry will abandon, as surely they will now, their Austrian tendencies, aud puraue @ policy such as that which we have just sketched ou}, we will give them our hearty support in a'l efforts they may make st tus critical juncture for the limitation of the war and the safety of the country. Such questions as these far tranu- gcend the paltry considerations of party, and it would be wicked and miachievous to the last degree t) make them the means of discrediting one Minister for the pur- pose of raising another to power. We do not wish to substitute Palmerston and Clarendon for Malmesbury aud Derby, merely as party leaders. We desire to ace the country well seryed. ‘e have but little confidence in the present government, but we do hope they will now pur- Sue an open, straightforward and English course. The fate of England is in their hands for the next two months; and from Lo quarter will they receive a more hearty aud willing support than from this journal, it they now adopt a course of dignified and observant neutrality, using their ‘best endeavors to prevent the spread of war, and to influ: ence the issue of the conflict as far as they can to a sctile- ment which may be beneficial to Italy, and which may deliver Europe from the apprehension of further distur Markets.

The abominabie stench arising from the coloesal ggrbage boxes in front of some of the tenant houses is almost insufferable. In one place, in the rear, near No. 21 Cherry street, which was visited, the house was in a vi filtby condition, the yard was crowded with old sheds heape of dirt and ashes, varying from three to five fect in height.

The farmers in this vicinity are very buey putting in their epring wheat and oats. As the season is late there Will not be the breadth of land sowed that there has been in former years. There was, in the early part of March, quite a lgrge quantity of wheat sown, but the cold, freez- ginning of April, injured it to such an extent that some Portiovs of it is to be sowed again, and the seed being very scarce and high priced thero is some doubt whetner there will be much more than ha'f a crop to be harvested in this county, as well as Henderson, Mercer, Knox and Macdonough counties, Of winter wheat there is scarcely &ny in any of these five counties mentioned, and what little was sown will not be more than balfa crop, owing to its being froze out during the past winter. The Digna river atthis point (Oquaka) is very high. The tri of the Chicego, Burlington and Quincy Railroad is under water a good part of the way on the river bottom.

(Fram the Troy Imes, May 2.} ‘The quiet Sabbath was broken in upon yesterday by the commission of a horrid murder, in the town of Sandiake, about fourteen miles from Troy, of a daughter by her father and only surviving parent, @ man about sixty years of age, named John Belding. The scene of the homicide is about four miles cast of Sliter’s Tavern, and near tae steam sawmill on the Sandiake road. The parties iived in a little houge, in which the father earned a iiveliboot for bimeeif aud daughter by following the trade of maker. The davghter’s name was Christina. Sho is about nineteen years of age, and is described by the neigh- bors as a quict and wel! behaved girl. She had been un well for xome time, and, it is said, bad been under the care of a female doctress residing in Berlin, in this county, named Weaver. Her mind, it appears, was somewhat affected, but whether from religious excitement or from some other cause, we are unabletosay. She labored under the impression that the devil had posressed her, ani used to pray very frequently for do- liverance from his grasp. A day or two before the murder the old man and daughter went over to the house of David Horton, who resided opposite the Bei- dings, when Chbristiua said cho had taken medicine of ‘Mra. Weaver, and it made her feel af if “the devil was in | her, and she would scratch him off; but that she bad thrown the medicine away, and drove the devil away too.” The olt man had not done much work recently, av ft affected the giri’s bead sequence of bis care for mind bad become temporarily affected, and while under | the delusion that ‘Dena,’ ad he calls ber, was tho devil, | be killed her. The account which Belding gives of the affair ix that ho saw the devil lying on the bed ani he struck itin the face. The girl, it appears, was !yivg cown iu the back room. Belding followed ber fiom that room to the frout room,in which the murder was committed with a ah maker’s hammer. Her skull was completely smashod to piccos. Portions of the bair were roattered about the room, and picces of the skull were lying over the floor. Her face too was considerably bAiieed und disfigured, but mo marks of violence were ditevvored oa tho other parts of ber vody.

(lavghier.) Even in that oapacity be was quite willing to accept the position, and to act asa post to a course which he could conscientousiy to bea rt oud right one. The objects and advantages of the und waich they bad met to promote, were kaown and appreciated to an extent that made it unnecessary for him to dwel! upon them. They had often been in- ‘sisted upon by the excellent chatrman of the institution, who was present, manifesting his usual imteress in its af faira; and by thir worthy secretary, who sat there in calm dignity attending to the funds. compasy might. be pleaged to hear that be (Mr. Mathews) kad nothing to do with managing the funds. (Laughter.) The only he had to do with them was to eudeuvor to use all hig powers of fascination to swell their amount, to induce hie @udience not onty to produce the sums they had im their right hund pockets, according to their an- nual custom, but also from their lett hand pockels that regerve fund which they bad provided in case some powerful eloquence ghould touch their hearts. He did not cousider it to be a part of his duty to teach those present theiss; aud it was, therefore, more to Le pathy than to iheir duty that ho wished to appeal. stern duty was the very beet maiuspripg of public action it was dear, kind sympathy that performed the B part of the work. It was not duty which compelled poo- ple to contribute to the support and comfort of those ‘im their declining cays who in other and brighter times had contributed to their amusement, and diverted their minds: from the pregeure and tumult of the world. No, they paid their moncy at the time, and had their money’a worth, and there an end of duty; but not go of sym) ‘- (Hear, bear.) A feoling of affectionate interest be betiev- ed wes produced by those who ministered to the public amusement, very different from that which was felt for the jronmonger, the tobacconist, or any other good honest, tradesmen who provided the public with necessary arti- cles for ite use. Great generals, learned judges, and ejo- quent divines came to be respected, and sometimes S but to the actor alone that kind indulgence and affection- ate recogrition was extenced that led from am irresistible yearning towards those wh) bave coasoled the spirit during houra of depression which al) at times felt, and whicb none bad the power of 0 readily goouning: as the actor. Hence, even towards the pooular OF 5 there did not come to be manifested the s»me familiar in- terest by ail classes a8 towards the dramatist, who cama to be regarded and spoken of as a pergonal friend, al- though he might never have been scen off the is in his life. (Cheers.) For his own part, he felt quite prout if, in passing along the street, he heard the gi "s boy or the cabman remark, ‘There goes arley- (asadter.) But" was only with actors that people felt at liberty to be thus familiar. They. basked in the sunshine of the people, and were appre- ciated By their cotemporaries. Unlike the author, tho actor had nothing for posterity. His was all ready money.. But, alas! his popularity was Only of aday. How was thig sympathetic feeling engendered between the public and. ¢ who ministered to its pleasure? [here were times when men were glad to go out of themeelves, as it were, and leave to otbers even the tusk of their amusement, and it was left, a8 he had said, to the actor alune to minister to this want ; and he felt, therefore, tat in appealing to the sym- patby of his audience, and the numerous attendance or that occasion testifled that be ehould not appeal in vain, that their belp would enable maay acwors to rejoice im their declining days, who by tbis fund were provided with the means of securing to themselves a sma'l com) tence when their active powers no longer availed for their support. Let them, then, give their arm to tha actor as ho tottered down the hill, and strew a few flowcre in his path, and by 80 doing follow the example of their noble and generous hearted Queen. By go doing, ta reverse the words of Shakspeare, you give to him thag which not impoverieheth ou, but makes bim-rich indeed., (Loud cheers.) He concluded by proposing‘ Success and prosperity to the Royal General Theatrical Fand,” coupling with the toas! the name of Mr. Buckstone, the honorary. treasurer. After a song by Mise Poole, Mr. Buckerone respopded to the toast in a humoroug fpeech, in the course of which be suid he felt they bad reason to congratulase themee!vea on the present occasion, and to be pieasec wih overything aac everybody. In the first place all would acknowledge that they hr reason to bo pleneed with their chairman. 135 Tt might be the firet time he had ever addressed an audfenca ct the boards of @ theatre, or at a public dinner, but ba certainly give no signs of being @ novice; op the coutrary. he es as perfect in his new vocation of su advocate for charity as he was allowed to be aceompiiebed and unri- valled in hig old one on the stage. Might b's future career be a8 prosperous and happy as his best frieads coud wish, and us bis bigh tatents and unrivalied jadussry de- served. (Cheers.) The members of the Fund had every reagon to congratulate themselves on the prospe- rous state of the institution. At the close of this eyon- ing they would possess a capital excoeding £11,000, attor paying eleven apnuitanta during the past year of trom £30 to £00 per annum ; nnd it might be interesting to some io know that the recipicats were mostiy ladies.

And he was giad to that there never was a time when the pnbiic manifesied greater disporition than now to patronize the theatre. It ‘wae Fail that more money had been taken this Ohristmas: throwghout the country than at ary former correrpond- ang season. He knew tbat it was truo so far ax hie own bouse was concerned. He left the und with the audience, and boped that they would put their haods deeply iato their See! and parotying tue words of the duke, would say, Up, stewards, and at ’em, (iaughter and eboers.) Mr. Buckstone concluded by proposing the health of tha Chairman, Mr. Charles Mathewa, which was druak wittr ouch enthusiasm, and followed by @ song from: Miss Kyles, which was enoored. ‘The CHAIRMAN acknowledged the compliment with muctr feeling.
