A DEW ERA, On tho death of Pope Gregory XVI, in June, 1844, his successor, Pius IX., inaugurated various liberal reforms, which met with the enthusiasti¢ approval of the people. Sardinia and Tuscany were moving at the same time, anda union of the three Powers was organized in 1947, which partially libera:ed the press, and in some degree gave popular representation, Tuscany was united wath the principality of Lucca, and the latter @btained the duchy of Parma after the death ef Maria Louisa, in aecordayce with the treaty of Vienna. In 1848 Sicily rose against the King of Naples ‘and decinred its indepennence, A liberal constitatton was proffered by the King to his subjects, which was ro- fused; and in upper Italy the French revolution of Feb- ruary, 1848, instigated a popular uprisifig against Aus- tia, whose commandor, Radetzky, relinquishing Lom- Bardy, fell back on Verona, Charles Albert, King of @ardinta, leading tho Italien movement, occupied Lom- bardy and bid fair to conquer Venice, but Radetaky over- game him and re-established the Austrian rule. On No- vember 24, 1848, the Pope escaped in disguise from Rome to Gaita, when the duchies were republicanized, ‘The reverses of the Austrians In Hungary encouraged the King of Sardinia, and im brief campaign with Radetzky fm March, 1849, the former was routed and the duchies ‘Were restored to their a rulers and guarded by Austrian troops, FRENCH ARMY OF OCCUPATION. ‘On April 2, 1849, the oity of Genoa was seized by an Seeurgent mob, and after a murderous struggle drove out the garrison and proclaimed « republic. The city was @eclared to be ina state of seige on the next day, and General Marmora advanced with a large force to bom- Dard it. On the 12th of April, 1849, the Genoese in- eurgents surrendered to General Marmora, the Tuscan Asscmbly was dissolved, and a deputation was sent to Gaeta to recall the grand duke. In consequence of the Pope’s appeal on January 18, 1649, to the great Catholic Powers for an armed intervention in his behalf, the French National Assombly on April 16, 1849, decided by ‘majority of one hundred and twelve for armed inter- tion in the States of the church.

I allude now to the long “house on deck,” or hurricane deck, aa some call it, frequentiy extending almost the entire length of the ship, and strongly built, or can be so, To my mind it Would be much safer to make the necessary arrange- ments for converting the tops of these houses into rafts, when it is all probable that the ehip will go down, than trust to launching a whole fleet of life boats, to be per- haps mashed in succession against the side of the ship, or to the ama!! surface offered by a portable raft, ‘The idea here presouted has never to my knowledge been adopted practically to any great extent; at all events it has not as yet become “fashionable,” as can easily be seen by referring to the records of disasters.
