She was tho only child of the Duke of Dalberg. Tt is now officially announced that the Prince of Wales will visit British America. The time assigned is about tne middle of June next. Six new vessels of war have been ordered to be built at the Chatham dockyard, with an aggregate tonnage of 20,006 tons and 207 guns.

THE SAVOY QUESTION. Proclamations by the Governor of Savoy were posted up in all the parishes of that country, notifying that the inhabitants will soon be called upon to vote upon the question of the maintenance of the union with Sardinia or annexation to France, according to the form prescribed by Parliament. ‘The London Telegraph positively affirms that an oral and confidential request had been made to England to join with Prassia and Russia in protesting against the aliena. tion of Savoy trom Sardinia. ‘Tt was stated that England supports the demand of Sar- dinia to ascertain the wishes of the people of Savoy and Nice by universal suffrage. ‘Torr, March 14, 1860. ‘The Sardinian government, it is asserted, has consented to the demand of France to effect the cession of Savoy and Nice by @ special treaty, to be made between France and Sardinia. The treaty will be by the yoteo the municipality, and the two parties will af terwards repeat to the European Powers the nature and motives of the territorial arrangements between them. By this arrangement Sardinia cedes to France Savoy unto Mount Cenis, and Nice unto Villafranca. Thus all th passes of the Alps will be possessed by France. ITALY. The Mdiary Gazelte of Turin states that the whole army of Sardinia is ordered to be upon a war footing by the 1st of April, and that Piedmont is about to secure a number of rifle barrels from the English arsenals. 4M, Thouvenel’s reply to Cavour’s despatches of the 1s: and 2¢ of March had reached Turin. Thouvenel points out the eseential difference which exists between the question ofthe annexation of Tuscany to Piedmont and that of Savoy to France, and says that the principal dif- ficuity which opposes the first is to obtain ita recognition by Europe, which has guaranteed the possession of Tus- cany to the dynasty of Lorraine. In the latter this dif- ficulty disappears in the presence of the ar- Tapgements between France and Sardinia rela- tive to the spontaneous cession of Sayoy; consequently the Frnperor requests the regulation of the queetion of Savoy by simple cession, to be settled by mu- tual consent, and without having recourse to universal suffrage. M. Thouvenel thinks that to become acquainted with the wish of the country, it would suffice to consult the Municipalities of Savoy. As regards the annexation of Tus- cany, M. Thouvenel repeats that France could not follow Piedmont in such a perilous course, and that if Victor Emanuel accepted the annexation of Tuscany he would neccesarily remain exposed to the risks of such a policy, without being able to reckon on the support of France. The municipality of Milan have unanimously adopted an address to the King, expressing the devotion of the coun- try to his Majesty, and their confidence in the national line of policy pursued by the King in reference to Central Italy. The municipality further state their resolution to support such policy, and ag a token of their firm resolu- tion, they offer to the King three millions of francs, The municipality of Lodi were preparing to take a simi- lar resolution, and other adhesions were expected. ‘The Paris correspondent of the London 7imes gives a re- port that bulls of excommunication against Victor Emanuel were ready to be launched from Rome the mo- ment the election in the Central Italian States was decided. ‘The latest voting on the question of annexation to Sar- dinia took place on the llth and 12th, in the various Italian States. Immense numbers of people assembled in all the towns, and much enthusiasm and confidence ‘was evinced. Admirable order was maintained. The following are the first despatches as to the result:— Laanonx, March 13, 1860. The result of the voting in Sienna, Pisa and Leghorn is as foliows:—For annexation to Piedmont, 38,026 votes; for a separate kingdom, 333—majority for annexation, 37,963. ‘The number of persons inscribed on the list is 45,218, Fronence, March 13, 1860. Returns of thirty communes give 161,396 in favor of annexation, and 2,809 for a separate kingdom. Bowens, March 13, 1860. ‘The vote in this city is 21,694 for annexation, and two for a separate kingdom. Par, March 13, 1860. Of the 16,C00 clectors in this town, over 14,000 voted for annexation and 51 for a separate kingdom. The number of electors in the provinces is 57,212, of whom 48,07 yoted for annexation and 113 for a separate kingdom. ‘The army of Rome has been increased to 20,000 men. Bowocxa, March 15—A. M. The following is the official retarn of the voting in the Romagna:— For a separate kingdom Lospox, March 15, 1860. The Paris correspondent of the London 7imes reports that Tuscany will probably be taken possession of by Piedmontese troops immediately after the annexation, that is, at the close of the present week. Vf NAPLES. ‘The London Zimes publishes a letter from Napies which states that the recent arrests there have been on a scale which even the late King would not have attempted. Among the persons arrested are persors of most modo- rate views; many are heads of families and engaged in bnsiness, For guch the order to leave the country is ab- solute ruin. » Dismay and terror preval! arconst al) classes. DNESDAY, MARCH 28, 1860.—TRIPL The government had been Jed t» ils arbitrary acts by ite apprehensions of a political climax from the elections in Contral Italy. It is admitted that the exhibition of the 1 atio-al colors would canse an outbreak, and the government, therefore, thought it a wise thing to get rid of all those considered likely to exercise any influence in such a movement. GREAT BRITAIN. In the House of Lords, on the 12th, notice was received from ths Commons that they had agreed to an address to the Crown on the subject of the commercial treaty with France, whereupon Lord Taunton gave notice that he would move for a similar address from the House of Lords on the 16th. In the House of Commons on the 12th Lord John Rus- sell stated, in reply to inquiries, that a great deal of cor- respondence had taken place with Naples relative to the constitutional reforms recommended by England and France, and in a few days he hoped to lay it on the table. A general discussion then took place on the Savoy ques- tion, in the course of which Lords Palmerston and Jobh Russell deprecated the continued recurrence of these irri- tating debates, and urged the opposition, if they objected to the course of the government, to boldly move @ vote of censure, when ministers would be fully prepared to defend their course. Mr. Gladstone moved a second reading of the bill to re. peal the paper duty. Sir W. Mills moved an amendment, that as the repeal of the duty on paper will necessitate the addition of one penny in the pound to the income tax, it is the opinion of the House that such repeal, under such circumstances, at the present moment, is inexpecient. After a debate the amendment was rejected by a vote of 192 to 245; majority in favor of the government, 53. The bill was then read a second ume. On the 18th, in the House of Gommons, Lord John Rus- sell laid upon the table farther correspondence relative to the affairs of Italy, and explained the attitude of the go- vernment both as regards Italy and Savoy. He asserted that hostility all along had been shown to the contem- plated annexation of Savoy ‘o France, and that as regards Italy the policy of the government was dictated by the tole desire of securing the permanent peace of that country. Several opposition members, including Mr. Disraeli, de- nounced the conduct of the government and asserted that the policy pursued had promoted the views of France with regard to Savoy. Lord Palmerston defended the government, and stated his conviction that if the great Powers objected, France would not persist in the annexation. After further debate the correspondence was ordered to be laid on the table. Mir. Baron Watson, a distinguished English Judge, died very suddenly just after he had finished charging @ jary. Lord Elgin had gone to Paris on public business, in connection with the miasion to China. He was expected to start for China in about « fortnight or three weeks. A report was current that Lord Taunton, formerly Mr. Labouchere, would probably succeed Lord EXgin as Post- master General. The cottoa mill of the Messrs. Hasian, at Preston, had been destroyed by fire. Loss over £20,000. The ship Commodore Perry, from Melbourne, for the safety of which great fear had been entertained, had ar- rived off Plymouth. ‘The Duke de Montpensier had arrived in England, ona visit to his mother, the ex-Queen of France. FRANCE. ‘The Paris Sidcle had received a warning for an alleged outrage against religion. The Sidcle praised and endorsed a work in which certain dogmas of the Catholic and Jew- ieh creeds were set down as shams. The Monileur publishes the treaty of commerce between France and England. The publication is preceded bya Jong report, giving a historical outline of the negotiations which preceded the signing of the treaty. The reply of the Holy See to the last proposals of France had reached Paris. ‘The Pope declines the proposition to confime within an exclusive political compags a question which, as it con- cerns the integrity of the patrimony of St. Peter, is inti- mately bound up with the independence of the Church. Although decidedly rejecting the proposition to create a vicariate of the Romagna in favor of a foreign sovereign. His Holiness shows himself disposed to enter into the path of reform on condition that the integrity of the States of the church is guaranteed. ‘The Paris correspondent of the London Pest writes—that the Frenchfgovernment, he has every reason to believe, has sent a telegraph despatch to the French army in Italy, requesting the commander-in chief to be ready to évacu- ate Italy within twenty-four hours, and yet he does not be- eve the Emperor will withdraw the troops even if the people of Central Italy yote for annexation. ‘The same authority asserts that the foreign relations of France were silently undergoing a great change, and that Austrian infloences were in the ascendant. ‘The Paris flour market had been dull, but closed firmer. ‘Wheat algo was dull, but prices not materially lower. In the wine growing districts, prices of wines were daily becoming firmer. A great speculative movemement was going on in spirits, and prices rose about five per cent in a week. ‘The Masonic lodges of Paris, were about to present an addrees to the Emperor, thaoking him for his services in taly. ‘The Bourse had been pretty steady, but on the 13th closed heavily at 67f. 86c. for rentes. ‘The Paris Moniteur announces that the government has snbmited a projected law to the Corpe Logislatif, devoting forty-millions of francs in loans to manufacturers for the renewal and improvement of machinery, and another pro- ject for the modification of the tariff on wools, cottons and raw materials. AUSTRIA. It is stated that Austria, while declaring her intention to remain neutral in regard to the Savoy question, had as- sured Prussia that in the event of the Rhine frontier ever being menaced, she would immediately unite with Prussia for the protection of tho integrity of the German territory PRUSSIA. The Prussian Chamber of Deputies had unanimously adopted the bill which guarantees the press against having its concessions withdrawn by administration pro. ceedure. ‘The French government is said to have reccived infor- mation that the Military Commission of the Germanic Diet bas received orders to turn its attention to preparatory measures for the formation of the contingent of the fede- ral army. SPAIN AND MOROCCO. Nothing of importance had occurred at the seat of war. Late accounts from Tangier state that the Moors were evincing a fierce spirit of resistance, and preparation, were being made for a strong defence of that town. Tercas, March 12, 1860, ‘The second campaign has been gloriously commenced. On Sunday last numerous tribes, including the Kabyla of Melilla, attacked the encampments at Tetuan and were repulsed, the Moorish positions taken and the Moors pur- sued half a league. Their loss is considerable. TURKEY. A Constantinople despatch says that two of the points of negotiation now pending for the conclusion of atreaty of alliance between England, France and the Porte were a revision of the capitalation and the rights of armed inter- ‘vention in the prineipalities and Servia. ‘The projected journey of Sir H. Balwer to Iondon was connected with the object. It was said that the Porte had concluded a loan of 25,000,000 of francs. INDIA AND CHINA. A telegraphic despatch announces that Mr. Wilson, Chancellor of the Indian Exchequer, made his financial statement on the 18th of February. Tne deficit is about nine million pounds. He proposes a trade license of from two to twenty shillings yearly; a tax upon incomes of from £240 to £600 at two per cent, and above that at four per cent, with no exemptions; and a large duty upon tobacco; the tariff is to be modified; there is to be no loan. Telegraphic advices from China are to the 30th of January, and report the exchanges without alteration; imports in good demand; lees quiet, and in small supply. Silks firm. WEST COAST OF AFRICA. The February mails from various ports on the west coast of Africa had reached England. ‘The United States gunboat Sumpter left Fernando Po on the 28th of January for the southward. ‘Trade was generally dull at all the ports, but at Sierra Leone it was reviving. The government was taking steps to encourage the growth of cotton on the Gold coast. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MONEY MARKET. The London money market was slightly more stringent, witb » brick demand. ‘Consols closed om the 13th at 943; a 94; for money and 7) 8 94% for account. demand for money continued active. Both at the Bank and in the open market the rate for the best bills at the discount houses beiug four per cont. The fands had deen firm and rather higher, but late on the 12th there ‘was a slight reaction, which was attributed to the activity in the discount market. On the 13th, however, the mar- ket again became strong, and consols closed firm. No bullion was being taken from the Bank of England. Lonpon, March 15, 1860, ‘The London Daily News city article says:— improve: % c inthe funda vehich ‘closed. wht Ces ‘eo predominated, encouraged by the fopegene 4 of the elec- the m torai yoice in Central Italy, and by lerate tone of the Ministerial speeches ‘in the of Commons last evening an the Savoy question.

Much attention being attracted just now to this fine steamship, we have obtained from Captain Comstock « description of the improvements recently made upon her engines. ‘It will be remembered that owing to some error in her vatve goar, her engincs did not at first work satisfacto- rily. Her present owners accordingly consulted those well known engincers Messrs. Henry B. Renwick, Miers Coryell and W.C Everett, who recommended an entirely new arrangement, which we give for the mformation of experts:—A high pressure arrangement has been pr>- vided, capable of being put instantly into operation in case apy derangement of the air pumps occur; also an in- dependent feed, which affords great security over the usual arrangement; a new plan has becn adopted for lifting the valves, which are placed in a position readily accessible: at ali times; « new cut-oll motion, capable of being adjusted throughout the length of the stroke; an ap paratus-connected with the cut-off cams, by means 0 which the steam valves are forced to their semts 28 won as they are released from the valve goar, being so ar- ranged that it is self-adjusting to all alterations of the cut- off, ‘A double link motion has been adopted for working the engines, governed by two eccentrics, which are worked by steam cylinders, the pistons of which are controlled in their motion by water cylinders, provided with pistons, which are moved simultaneously with the pistons of the steam cylinders; the whole arrangement being so simple, and se completely controlling the valve-gear, that two boys, 10 years of age, 0 far as strength is required, could manage the engines with perfect ease, either when work ing by hand, or when hooked on and working quickly. The whole work was executed at the Novelty Iron Works, under the eye of Mr. Everett. Capt. Comstock says:— Every part of the engines has been most thoroughly examined and put in compiete order, and so far as the en gines and boilers are concerned, the ship is in the best possible condition tor any service that may be required of her. On the 2ist of February the Adriatic was taken to sea, and during three days of very heavy weather her engines were fully tested in every possible way, and the altera- tions proved to be highly successful. Her highest rate of speed was 16!; knots, making 17 revolutions per minute; at 6 revolutions she makes 6 knots; a’ ten revolutions, 11 knota; at 14 revolutions, 1434 knote. i Inevery position during the gale she was dry and com- fortable, and all her Vast machinery worked perfectly. ‘The Adriatic was modelied and built by the late George Steers, who also built the United States frigate Niagara and yacht America. Ber engines were by the Novelty Works. Her total cost is over s million dollars. The Adriatic is over 5,000 tons burthen (4,145 tons United States register), 350 fect long, 50 feet beam, and has two oscillating engines, 100 inches in diameter, 12 feet stroke; paddlo wheels, 40 fect in diameter. Every modern improvement of value bas been brought to bear in her construction. She is undoubtedly one of the finest steamshive afloat, and her performances will reflect credit on our American steam marine. In a fow days she will be at hor wharf, whero her mag- nificent appointments can be scen. The Old Police Ca: SUPREME COURT—CIRCUIT. Before Hon. Judge James.

Interesting Additona' Particulars of this Af- fair—\keteh of the Life of Jackalow—The Way he was Picked Up 0ff Loo-Choo—In- terview with the Prisoner, &e., de, ae. The announcoment yesterday morning that Jackalow, the supposed murderer of Capt. Lecto and his brother, had been arrested and lodged in jail at Jersey City, pro duced a temporary lull in the excitement going on in the public mind in relation to the dark and fearful mystery which envelopes the fate of the missing crew of the Spray ; but tho rumor that the search in the cabin would be con tinued yesterday under the direction of the United Stas Marebal drew 2 miscellancous crowd to the Battery, al, eager to catch the earliest intelligence relating to the mysterious affair. ‘The harbor police, however, doubtful of their authority in or jurisdiction over the matter, refused to continue the investigation further, and turned the;wreck over t the United States Marshal, in whose custody it now is. That functionary, doubtful of his authority in the premisee, re- fused to continue the search until after he bad counselled im the matter with the District Judge. A conclusion will be arrived at early this morning, which, if satisfactory to the Marshal, he will immediately proceed to raise the Wreck, and institute @ thorough search of the cabin and hold. SCENE AT THE JAIL. During the day and up to a late hour last night the Chief of Police was literally overwhelmed with applica- tions to see the prisoner, while outside the jail an eager collection of both sexes contented themselves with peer- ing through the grated windows and asking numerous questions of each visiter as he emergod from the prison, Anout twelve o’clock Deputy Marshal Southard arrived for the purpose of conveying the prisoner to Trenton, but owing to the absence of United States Tombs ehyaters appeared at the jail and reprosented themselves as his counsel, and insisted upon an interviow; and upon being refused threatened to force their way to the prigoner’s cell. Yesterday two more of them made their appearance, one of whom represented himsulf a8 a deputy United States Marshal trom New York, and the other styled him: self in Leonard, of the New York potice. Thoy stated their purpose to be to take the Chinaman to New York for examumation and trial. The dodgo, howover, didn’t work, and the Induetrious limbs of the law return: ed home without thetr prize. Through the intercession of several of the prisoner’s countrymen, Charles . Voorhis, Esq., of Jersey City, @ promuent lawyer oi that city, will act as his counsel. THE COINCIDENCE OF CRIME. ‘The wondertui similarity between the cage of the Spray and that of the sloop E A Johnson hag given rise to the following query:—Were Hicks alias Johnson, the eup- posed muraerer of Capt. Burr and the crew of tbe John- son, and Jackalow acquaintances’ They have both been engaged ip the oyster trade, and the two vessels left New York about the same time; and it is possible, if they are botb guilty, that there was some colinsion between them to murder the crews and run away with the vessels. The coincidence is truly remarkable, and has given rise to Lumerous surmises and conjectures. FACTS ABOUT OYSTERMEN. ‘There are at present upwarde of two hundred and fifty eyster boats engaged in the trade between New York and Delaware bay, and for the past three or four years five wurders a year have been committed for the purpose of pioneer. It is the practice of the captains of oyster boats, when going out, o take specie enongh alopg with them to buy Weir cargo. This they do from necessity, for, in the first place, the men of whom they buy have little or no knowledge of paper money, and therefore will not take it; and, besides, it is necessary to have plenty of sinall chapye, ag the oysters are purchased in quantities from a quart to a boat load, and the payments vary from a dime tow hunared dollars.

From an officer attached to the f1 ‘Mississippi during Perry’s expedition to Japan, we the following rm teresting particulars concerning Jackalow, snd the cumstances under which he came to this country. Our informant gays that Jackalow’s r name is Ya ma; that he is a native of the Great Loo Istand, and that he arrived in the United States in April, 1855. From Spaulding’s History of tho Japan expedition we learn the following facts concerning his manner of leaving ‘Loo Choo, and other particulars: “During the night a poor devil of a LooChooan paddled off to the wehanns, eoliciting safety from some one on shore, whom he motioned was going to kill him. Not baving pr «declared his intentions’ in the United States, it was not possible to get up another Koszta affair. His canoe was hoisted on board, and the man put under the sentry’s charge. The converted Missionary at Napa—Dr. Betiefhiem—oxpressed the belief that the poor creature was a Ly This opinion was pot at all eurprieing, from Doctor, who never displayed amiability towards the population, and, in avewer to an inquiry about their history or their upper claeses, his response was, ‘' They are all nota word of truth in them.” This feeling appeared to be entirely reciprocated by the Lco-Chooans, to whom his presence most distasteful. ‘bat the cauge of the trouble between Jackalow or Ya-Mo and his countrymen was our informant never could ascertain, but the Loo-Chooan was evidently fleeing for his fe when he sought safety on board the Susquehanna. During the nine months that Jackalow was on the Missis- sippi be demeaned himself with great propriety, and won the cateem and confidence of the officers and crew. INTERVIEW WITH THE PRISONER. Onr informant, seeing in the HERALD the account of the joss of the Spray, together with a description of the Chi- naman, went over to Jersey City yesterday to sce if he couid recognise the prisoner as one of the crew of the Missiesippi. : As soon as they mt a mutual recognition took place. Jackaiow seemed much pleased to see his old acquain. tance, and was very anxious to know if he thought that he would have to ‘‘go up yardarm,” at the game time makirg a significant gesture with hishand. He reiterated to the officer the same story about the captain falling over- board, and declared that the movey was bis own, and the fruit of four years’ savings while in the employ of Capt. leote. He seemed quite solicitous to know if he was going to be bung, and repeatediy aaked the ofticer, “Me go up yard arm—what you think’ He was coun- selled to tell the whole truth in the muaticr, as by 20 doing he would best insure his acquittal. ‘On beard the Missiesippi, at the timo Jackalow came over were two Japanese boys named Dan-Keirch, or Dan Ketch (as be was called) and Sam-pa- chero, who was called Sam Patch. @ supposition is that it was from that fact that Jackalow derived his knowledge of Sam Patch. Dan Ketch, after being edu- cated in this country, returned to Japan, and is now chief interpreter to the British Legation. PARTICULARS CONCERNING THE JAPANESE. informant also states that during the timo that the ‘Misaissippi lay at Napa, he passed several days and nights on 8] , al that he didnot at any time have occasion to exercise an’ jue wigience prot Property, but that he nently his watch and other valua- ble articles exposed, and that during the whole time he a lost 20 mach eng ee ‘The natives were peaceable, quiet people, and seldom or never carried deadly weapons, preferring the music of the banjo. or fiddle to the crack of a revolver.

The Sloop F. A. Johnson Tragedy—John- son in the Tombs. Johnson alias Hicks is confined in one of the marderers’ cells, at the Tombs, under the close surveillance of Mr. Cunningham, one of the deputy wardens. A numbero Persone visited the prisoner yesterday; among the rest P. T. Barnum, who obtained a cast of the suspected mur. derer’s bead for the purpose of exhibition. The prisoner seemed quite tickled at the idea of having his buat exhi- bited to the patrons of the Museum, and cheerfully sat for three quarters of an hour while the operation was being performed. Mrs. Johnson also visited the prisoner and re“ mained with him during the entire afternoon. She ap- peared much depresged in spirits, and was not as commu- nicative on the subject of the sloop tragedy as formerly. She stated to our reporter that the paragraph in one of the morning newspapers,to the effect that she caw a publiched account of the murders before the arrest of her husbabd, is entirely erroneous.
