The sen tence of the commission was concealed from' us for a long time.' - 11 In November 1S21 the final decision of the Emperor arrived at Venice. Foresti at that time was in the prison of the Piombi.

Cavalier endeavored to indue. him to retract, promising him his life, though forfeited in the sentences of three legitimate tribunals, but Foresti remain ed immovable, The Secretary therefore reads his sentence: 'That all those accused of Carbonarism by the process of Venice, of the grade of Master and above it, wjre condemned to c-eath. That still His Majesty granted life to all except the Judges Solera, Fo. .... - r i ill resti, and Count Munari, who should be execuita, wi:n an tne nsjor ana iormaii- ties of the law, in the Public Square of Venice.' Then was read a note under the own hand of the Emperor, in which he said that he would even give therr lives to Solera,Toresti and Munari, if I . 1 m views of His Majesty. 'I was sent back to my prison; two guards were placed to watch over me day and night. I was de- prived of the use of the knife and fork, and obliged to eat with my hands. The doctor attended me with much kindness; my wounds took a favorable turn, and I was left there, condemned to death, and uncertain whether or not the sentence. would be executed 'On Christmas Eve, 1821, all the con demned were led, chained two by two, to a scaffold on the Square of St. Mark, m Venice. Tt was about 12 at noon. The square, the windows, the roofs were cov ered with people. The whole Austrian garrison of Venice was under arms, in bands, in the squares' and streets. The cannons placed between, tne iwo columns Todere and St. Mark, The Viceroy, brother of the Emperor, was on the great balcony of the Imperial Palace. .Uhbro? ken silence prevailed; one of the judges read in, a loud voice the sentence of con 4emnatiqri ; at the word death, there was a shudder of horror; at the word life granted, there, was a crv of.iov..

They 'said that my youth saved me from' death. : Meanwhile we were conducted to the Island of. San Michael. Ladies and gentlemen follow ed us in gondolas, waving white handker chiefs and calling "to us, 'Courage,' cou rage, brave patriots.' At night a grand serenade was given us, from the Lagune, and pieces of-poetry recited, which, from the great distance we could not under stand. A few months afterwards, at Mi lan and Venice, were published similar sentencesand all under the title of high treason, and all condemned to Spielberg.' Silvio Pellico was among his fellow prjsoners, many of whom died.. On the 42lh of January, 1S22, the officers set out with their prisoners for Spielberg. ThQ journey lasted about a month a terrible journey over the Alp's of Corin thia'and Syria, amid snows and intense winter cold the prisoners chained toge ther, two by two. Spielberg is a moun tain which rises above the city of Brunn, the capital of Moravia. The vaults of a fortress, erected by the Emperor Charles V., were changed into a penitentiary, and here with assassins and highway robbers, incendiaries and villains of all kinds, numbering generally from 800 to 900 men and women, the Italians were left to drag out their miserable days. ' 'To each of us was assigned a prison, twelve feet in length and eight in breadth with a small window with double rows of iron bars. For a bed a plain wooden plank, straw mattras3 and blanket, a long iron chair fastened in the wall, an earth en jug for water; this was all the furni ture. We were allowed no knife and ork but only a wooden spoon. Morning and evening, broth of burnt flour and ba con put in warm water: at noon a dump ing and a little piece of meat, which pro duced vomiting and a small portion of read. 1 he food was given in a dirty, dusty iron vessel. The Emperor died in 1835, and his son erdinand ascended the throne, immedi ately passed a decree liberating the Ita lan patriots, but condemning them to i perpetual exile in America. On the first of August, 1836, Foresti, with the other prisoners, was transported by night to Trieste, whence, on the 3d, they sailed or America in the very same brig the Usello from which Koszta in Smyrna was dragged, immediately upon tneir 1 1 W 1 . 1 ' . 1 arrival-here they , were received with much consideration by prominent citizens, and a week later their fellow countrymen gave them a hanquet at Delmonico s. "Occasional,,' the Washington corres pondent of the Philadelphia Press, writes o that paper: There is no doubt that a movement will be made in the next Congress to in vestigate the profligate employment of the public funds in the late elect.ons and es pecially the manner in which they have been used against the democracy of llh nois. A gentleman now here informs us that the extent to which this matter has been carried will, when it is exposed to the people, create such a sensation as has never been known in the United States Gov. Brown of the Post Office Depart ment, Mr. Cobb and Mr. Toucey, have gone to extremes in punishing men who have not agreed with them in opinion. Jefferson Davis, in his late speech at Portland, announced a doctrine that will greatly exercise the quid nunc in Mis sissippi being neither more nor less than the assertion that a Territorial Legisla ture can exclude slavery by refusing to protect it. ' 1 his is no new idea ot the dis tinguished Davis, tpough it will greatly surprise some of those who have been re lying upon him to help them on in espe cial devotion to Southern rights. Noth ing so clears the vision as for a Northern er to visit the South or a Southerner to visit the North. Do not be surprised if, after Congress meets in December, a Southern Democrat shall rise in the Senate or House, and of fer a bill repealing the English bill, so as to allow Kansas immediate admission or as soon as she has a Constitution rati fied by the people. Stranger things than this have happeqed. , V hen Congress ad journed last summer Douglas was ostra cised by almost the entire South. Now he is lauded in niany quarters. This was blow number one at the Administration. Look out for blow number two. The Coming Winter in New York. The N. Y. Tribune says: Our last wiuter was undoubtedly hard one. Charity was taxed to the utmost, yet many died, if not directly and absolutely of hunger and cold, yet really of disease engendered or rendered fatal by want. The harrowing scenes rf that season of distress we would gladly forget; but there is another winter at hand, and it js likely to prove even a severer trial than the last. Our city is poor. Her trade for the last year has been slender, precarious and un profitable. Thousands have lost their all through the failure of their debtors, Wre have more houses, stores and ships than we need, so that building will be nearly suspended on the completion of structu res now in progress. Our manufactures are unprofitable and stagnant. The coun try is generally poor and must buy but sparingly and pay up but partially. How, then, are ihe million people within a ra dius of five miles, tq be subsisted through the winter before us? Neyej: rjdcue the unfortunate.. ; MorQ Miracles. . : The Rev.' Mr. Marco, of Grand Ra pids, Michigan1, writes that while Father Weniger was officiating at the ceremony of dedicating the Cross of Holy iTrinity Church, in the presence of an immense multitude, ;a solemn and extraordinary event occurred. ..He says: "As soon as the cross had been dedicated and was about being raised, there appeared on the blue sky, surrounded by a cluster,- of white clouds, a reguiany-iorraeu large vvhite'and well-defined cross, which dis nnnpnred at the moment the missionary rrnss was sunk into" the ground. The whole crowcTpresent gazed with amaze ment at this striking appearance, and ou could hear, persons less credulous utter these words: '1 his is more man natu ral Singular. A few weeks since, says the New Or leans Crescent, we mentioned as a singu lar circumstance, the marriage of a Ger man widow, in the Third district, to her fifth husband i.o one of the previous four having outlived his wedding a year. Well. afew days since, the fifth husbanJ took the yellow fcer. He died, and on Friday he was buried - Parson Brownlow has not enjoyed him self at the North. ' On his way home he stopped at Cincinnati, of which town he savs ? "It is a city of great weann, iraue aim mmmprce: but it is a fast city and as cor rupt as the devil could wish it. It is lull of rascals, swindlers and bogus stockr dealers. Even the beggars are thieves and, impostors. In soliciting charities, in creating houses of worship, building or phan asylums, or whatever this mixed population go at, the thief and . impostor stick out." A gambling saloon, containing a deal table', on which was a lighted candje, an old pair of scissors, was recently discover ed in a sewer at Columbus, Ga. The cost of a (thirteen inch shell, fis it flies through the air, is fromSlO to Sl'2. The estimated cost of firing a thirty-six inch bomb is nearly SI 50. These figures afford some idea of the "shelling out" which is necessitated by war. Capt. Townsend, of the slaver Echo, who has been undergoing examination at Boston, for some time, has been fully committed for piracy.
