Public readings of the standard authors hare become fashionable since Mrs. Fanny Kemble Butler introduced them. Miss Hitchcox proposes to give a eeries of reading?. See her card. We have heard the lkerary acquirements cf Miss Hitchcox spoken cf in the highest terms. CT In reply to our article of yesterday, the Banner cut's a few sentences from a long article in the Washington Union, written to prove the coalition between all the factions in Gen. Taylor's Cabinet, veriin the old proverb, that "Tho d 1 can quote scripture" to 6uit his purpo?es. Whiggery has courted and boot-licked every faction that has shown itself, no matter how contemptible, fiom Ami-Masonry to Nativism; and at the same time, was loud in accuin the Democrats with forming "ba?e coalitions.'' Now, with a slaveholder for their President, they are doing everytning they can to induce the free-soil Democrats to join them. In the State of Jowa there has been a complete union between the Whigs and Free-Soilers the Whig State Convention having passed resolutions embracing all the principles of the Iniffilo Platform, and everything else but. to endorse the character of the Hon. Henry Filz Warren. XjX. Dean ia still on hand with marble monuments, head and foot stones, mantel ornaments, and all kinds of ornamental marble work. See his advertisement in another column. We visited the Yard of Mr. Dean yesterday, and from the specimens of his work exhibited we are sure of his ability to fill all orders in a superior manner, and upon the shortest notice. His work will compare, in design and finish, with any west of the Mountains. Saktain's Magazine. The August number of iSariain's Magazine has been placed upon our table by the indefatigable Joe Howard, who is now ready and willing to supply his friends and customers with one of the best monthlies in print. The steel engraving of the "Independent Voter'' is worth the subscription price, to say nothing of the other plates, and the varied and interesting reading matter. f7Travel on the mail-boats between Louisville and Cincinnati is increasing. All the state-rooms on the Fashion were occupied on her lat downward trip. (VOn Thursday week Father Mathew commenced giving the pledge to his countrymen, in the basement of the Catholic Church, Court street. Erooklyn. Dense crowds pressed upon him. He addressed them in an affectionate manner upon the benefits of total abstinence and the value cf the pledge. About a thousand took the pledge from him, in groups of from five to twenty and thirty. How much longer shall recreant Whig and "malign influences" be permitted to disturb cor, harmony 1 Banner. Walk up, Messrs. Richard H. Brown, Howard Stapp, J. C. Logan, J. H. Fisher, W. C.

The Wbeelixq E&jdgs. The citizens

of Pittsburgh axe endeavoring to prevent the building of a bridge over the Ohio river at Wheeling. A committee was eent by the Board of Trade of Pittsburgh to Wheel ing, to ascertain if there was any likelihood of a bridge being built, and if bo, how high, lie; or whether it was to be all talk a3 with our Cincinnati friends. The com mittee reported to a meeting convened for the purpose, when the following resoiu tions, which we copy from the Post, were parsed : I . That this meeting, oa fceba!f of the eemmer eiai interests of Pennsylvania, protest against the erection of any bridge calculated to lessen the free navigation ef that great national highway the Ohio river. 2. That the Manager of the Wheeling and Belmont Bridge Company ere earnesly requested to erect such a bridge (if any) as their charter clearly requfoes, to wit: A bridge that shall per mit steamboats to pass on the highest floods here tofore known in that river. 3, That if any bridge is erected to obstruct na vigation on that river, this meeting pledges its ef forts to exhaust all rightful and constitutional measures for the abatement cf this public nui sance. 4. That a commit t be appointed to raise funds to institute legal proceedings to stop the farther erection of said bridge, uiles the same shall be erected to such height as net impede the free navigation of the river. 5. That wa invite the attention and co-operation of all other cities end villages that are interested in preserving the free navigation of the Ohio river. On motion of Mr. Robertson, the committee on report were appointod to carry out the spirit of the fourth resolution; after which The meeting adjourned. Breach of Promise An Important Decision. For the benefit cf our unmarried friends of both sexes, says the Shuylkill (Pa.) Journal, to whom a right understanding of the law may be important, we copy the following from an opinion of Judge Black, recently affirmed by the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, per Coulter, Justice Dovy vs. McMillan: 8 Barr, 160: "If a man offers to marry a woman, or promises to do it, he is not bound to comply with it unless she agree to accept him. It takes two to make a marriage contract, as well as auy other bargain. Where a man has a contract of marriage with a woman, and merely puts it off, and she becomes impatient, she cannot drag him into Court and demand damages, unless she has for mally offered to perform the contract on her part and he dishonestly refuses, and so puts an end to the contract; because, perchance, he would prefer the marriage to the suit, and he ought to hare a chance to make a choice." From Havana. We are in receipt of Havana journals to the 29th ult, brought by the brig Salvador, Capt. Evans, which left Havana on the 30th ult. Commodore Parker, of the U. S. frigate Raritan, gave a grand ball on board his vessel, lying in the harbor of Havana, on the 22d ult , to which many Spanish families in that city were invited. The Diario spaaks of the entertainment in the most flattering terms. The Raritan sailed the next day for Vera Cruz. The Havana papers are discussing the propriety of extending several railroads to the towns in the vicinity of the capital. There were ninety-six deaths in Havana during the week ending on the 23d ult., of which fortythree were whites and fifty-three blacks. This shows the health of th. city to be good. As an evidence of the growing commerce of Matanras, the Aurora of that city, of the 21st, states thai at that period in 1844 and 1845, there were scarcely any vessels ia the harbor, while in 1849 there were twenty ships, eighteea brigs, and three schooners New Orleans Delta, 8th. Mobile and Ohio Railroad. This railroad preject begins to assume a tangible shape. Nearly the whole line, as we stated the other day, has been surveyed, and the Directors have advertised for contracts to build thirty miles of the first section of the read, beginning at Mobile. Forty miles more will be prepared to let without delay, and the Tribune says it is expected that before these seventy miles are completed, two hundred and fifty mile additional will be ready for contract Within a month, therefore, ground will probably be broken, and thenceforward operations pushed with all possible speed.

From the New York iisrald. DETAILS OF FOREIGN NEWS BROUGHT BY THE NIAGARA. Interexilnj Froa Italy. Tha attaek opon Rome The Eternal City not yet conquered Capitulation of Ancona Venice still holds out, etc., &c. The Eternal City still held oat en the 23d alt the Romans had defended themselves with memorable bravery, cot only by canon and masketry from the ramparts, but by numerous vigorous sal lies. On the 18th ult, another parallel, within eighty metres of the walls, was completed. According to despatch received from Genera! Oudinot, three columns of French troops penetrated the walls by breaches made by the incessaat fire of the cannon. But according to the latest accounts, they are in reality but little advanced in the possession of Rome "So far as I can judge writes the Times correspondent, "the real power of Roman resistance has not yet been felt, as, in truth, all that has taken place since the repulse of the French on the 30th of April, amounts to little more than keeping the

gates closed, and firing at every man they se from the bastions. Nothing has been done to pre vent the French supplies coming to hand, or the French army from being masters cf both sides of the river up to the walls of the city. No sortita ef any moment hare taken place to destroy works in prrocess of creation, and the trenches are brought up to 60 metres of the bastion, with only a nominal loss. In my opinion we are all at sea as much as we were on the arrival of the invaders, and the question between Roman and French valor has yet to be tried. The Concordia, cf Turin, states, from Civita Veccia, the 19th, that a ccnpiracy had been dis covered, the object of which was to surprise the citadel, and subsequently take possession of the town. If the plan had succeeded, the French Gen eral would have been compelled to raise the siege of Rome and return to Civita Vecchia. The French Government has kept secret the news which it has received from Rome, and vari ous reports of the most opposite character have, accordingly, been circulated. For instance, on Wednesday morning it was said that the Trium virate had capitulated, and that the French troops lad taken possession of the Eternal City. In the afternoon, it was widely reported that the French had suffered a defeat; and that the troops had been cut to pieces. Meanwhile it is certain that the progress of the Bieging operations are not satisfactory to the government. It appears that the funds voted for the suste nance of the French army have already been spent. We shall see what will be said of this expedition when the French are called on to pay for it. Already 1,200,000 francs are spent, and government, it is said, is about to apply for 20 or 25 millions more, to defray expenses. The bank is even said to be affected by this state of affairs, nasmuch as it must get on credit the twentyfivemillions necessary for the expedition. We can not fail of hearing of government shortly asking the Assembly for more money. Here would have been a chance for the minority, had they not thrown it away in insensate attempts at re bellion. Letters of the 19th and 20th, from the Times correspondent with the French army near Rome, give interesting details from every point of the lines, and explain Ihe exact position of the army. The last breaching battery, at sixty metrss distant from the place, was opened on the 19th, and the fire was bo efficiently kept up that the walls commenced giving way in three places. The whole wall for a given distance was defaced, and in forty eight hours it would be altogather gone. The Romans had ceased firing on the bastions, bet it was believed they were preparing a second line of defence en the same hill, parallel to the point at which the French will make the assault HUNGARY THE LATEST. The Information received yesterday, says the London Standard of Freedom, of the 30th ult, by our Hungarian correspondent, furnishes the following brief sketch of the disposition and movement of the Hungarian and Austrian troops. The intelligence is authentic, and so recent that it came to hand only a few moments before our paper was put to press: The Russian force under Paskievitch, which has crossed the Karpathians in four column by four adjaeent passes, about Dukla, really number about 60,000 men. Dembinski, with 30,000, holds the long eriea of passe which extend from Barfield to the great plain of The Us. He is said to have strict order to avoid a general action. Georgey commands the main army along the lice cf the Waag and Raab. A general reconnoisance has just been made of the whole Russian and Austrian line along the Waag. Thi is supposed to have been intended as a diversion, or rather feint, whilst Georgey' left wing pressed on to Odenburg, which the Hungarians are reported to have carried, and where vast stores were accumulated Bern is still in Transylvania with about 50,000 men. Panscova, Temesvar, Pelerwarden, and Yeusalz, are in the hands of the Hungarians; j but Semlin is in the hands of Jeilachich. The Hungarian general, Aulich, commands an expedition advancing into Croatia; but nothhas been heard of him for some time. 1000 Montenegrins marched to the assistance of Jeilachich, but hare been attacked and blockaded in Scodra by the Turkish traep.

I NAPLES AND SICILY.

The conduct of the Neapolitan Government since they have obtained possession of Sicily, it such as all those who knew the peculiar nature of Boarboa faith, predicted it would be each as to fully justify those members cf the late Siciliaa Government who refused to treat in any manner with Bemba or hi myrmidon. Every condition cf the capitulation of Palermo ha been, violated. Notwithstanding the publication ef the general amnesty, from which only forty-three persons were excluded, several person who had retired to Messina, and whose names did not appear in the list of the forty-three, have been arrested; and, among them, i a priest, the Abbe Allegra. A journal (the Forbice) having ventured to complain of this infraction of the law, has, in consequence, been suppressed, and it editor, M. Sale fia, has been arrested and imprisoned. The list of those excluded from the amnesty has been increased in direct violation of the treaty of capitulation, by the addition of the name of two hundred and six other persons, among whom are the Marchioness of Sammartino, and several other ladies. CIRCASSIA. Advice from Trebironde, confirm the taking of the Russian fortress of Mami, oa the Black Sea, by the Circassian. The garrison, consist ing of four thousand men, were taken prisoners, with the exception of one thousand, who were put to death. The enemy also took five thousand muskets and one hundred and fifty cannon, de stroyed the most important points of the foitress, and then encamped on a neighboring height, where a fresh encounter with the Russians was expected. TREATY BETWEEN SARDINIA AND AUSTRIA. A letter from Berme, of the 23d inst, announ ces the conclusion of peace between Austria and Sardinia on the following conditions: The evac uation of Alessandria, payment to Austria of the expenses of the war; Modena and Parmy to be ceded to Piedmont in lieu of Lombardy; an offensive and defensive alliance between Austria and Piedmont, and the latter to furnish a contingent of 20,000 men. MR. BANCROFT. A very amusing correspondent of the Liverpool Albion, who communicates every week a couple of columns of what he calls Metropolitan Gossip, gives an account this week of a grand entertainment at the house of the Turkish Ambassador, in which he thus introduces the present Minister from the United States: "On a'coach in the middle of the divan, on the right hand, were seated the two most remarkable looking men present, after the Pacha himself, namely, Bancroft, the American, and Brunow, the Russian Minister. They conversed together with great seeming cordiality the chief part of the sitting, and in English too; the Baron, like all his travelled countrymen, being a great linguist though by the-by, he is a German born. He is a man of noble stature, and commanding port, becoming his stars and crosses well. He bears an excellent private character for charity and all the domestic amiabilities. An individual stamped more thoroughly with the impress of a gentleman was not to be found either in the ambassadorial circle below or the vast general circle above than Mr. Bancroft. In his plain and rather quakerish cut black coat, ribandless and starless as he was, without even so much as a diamond shirt-stud, he failed not to draw much more of the attention of the observant spectator than auy of the glittering professionals around him Apparently about forty-three or four, tall, well formed, with a somewhat scholastic form of face, he has all the polish of the courtier, without any forfeiture of the simplicity of the republican; and there is this to be said of him, which can be said scarcely of any Flatagenet amongst us, he etands the ordeal of a white cravat, any man who can put a calamity of that sort round his throat without looking like a billiard-marker, a tapster, or a country parson, is fit to shake hands with my Lord Devon, who not only, like D'Israeli, looks upon the Normans as upstarts but upon Charlemagne as a mushroom." Novel Cure for Cholera. There are so many certain cures for cholera, that some wit has been provoked to say, that the wonder is, how any body dies of it. In a Paris paper we find an account of a cure, unlike any we have seen. A man's wife wa attacked in the morning, while he was absent The neighbors called in a doctor who furnished the usual prescriptions. She nevertheless continued to sink till towards night, when the husband returned very much intoxicated. He forthwith threw ail the phials eut doors, kicked his neighbor out after them, and began to beat his wife unmercifully. The beating effected what the medicine could not it produced a reaction and the woman got well immediately. Thi is the only good effect of drunkenness we recollect to have chronicled. 7- The Mobile Herald mentions it as a somewhat remarkable fact, that no man can be found in Mobile notwithstanding the general fondness for office to assume the responsibility of becoming a tax-gatherer. The State and County Collector, elected last August, having failed to qualify, the commissioners of revenue have made efforts to supply his place, but thus far without success. As often as twice they have appointed a cay to elect, and as yet have had no applicants. Mobile 4dv.
