Rome, March 12.—The new cabi-
net is not formed yet. The chief

fairs and war.
WASHINGTON.
London, March 12.—In the house
of lords the Earl of Derby said on
the question whether the eonguess
would have full materials to form a
judgment on all questions to be sub-
mitted was undoubtedly of great
importance. He considered it use-
less and foolish to go into the ci in-
gress unless it had real, not merely
nominal power, of /dealing wi th
matters before it. Her majesty’s
government is now in communic a-
tion with other governments on thus
subject.
The Standard’s Rome dispatch
states that measures are impending;

Verner Brothers, stock brokers,
No. 90 Old Broad street, j East
Cheapside, have failed. Liabilities
stated to be heavy and the assets
small. They were bears of a large
amount of consols and British rail-
way securities. The Times says,
referring to the failure, they enter-
ed into heavy gambling in hope
the country would rush into war,
and the past fortnight’s rise proved
too much for them. Should the rise
continue, more collapses are prob-
able.
The Coal Owners’ association of
North Yorkshire and South Derby-
shire, have determined to reduce
miners wages seven and a half per
cent. The men would probably7
consent to a five per cent, reduc-
tion, but it is thought likely they
will resist a decrease of seven and a
half per cent, This resolution of
the Coal Owners’ associations af-
fects between twenty-five to thirty
thousand miners. The manufac-
turersin the North of England and
Ireland trade are also demanding a
Auction of wages of their em-
ployes, varying from ten to seven-
teen per cent. From preparations
made and making, it is believed the
employes intend to organize a gen-
mml resistance.
A Reuter dispatch from Pesth,
stetes that Count Andrassy yester-
day told the Hungarian delegation

ls said to have caused great sen-
Sation. A dispatch from Pesth to

assured some members of the dele-
tion that upon certain points
an(l in certain eventualities a con-
trition between England and Aus-
tria was ready.

towns in New Hampshire give

447; scattering, 106. The republi-
can net loss is 617. The same rela-
tive loss throughout the state will

It is perl.mps proper to make brief men-
tion of the high rank accorded to “ Josh
Billings.” by the leading7 public journals
of the. world, many placing him at the
head of the humorists of the age. The
London press has given frequent and
lauditorv comment, The Atlantic Month-
ly for November last, in an extended
notice, saj7s, “ Josh Billings has always
filled a high place among American
humorists, not only on account ot his
humor, which he shares with many ; but
also on account ot hisdom, which is an
even uare quality.” Those who have
heard “Josh Billings,” know that his
vocal powers are a marked characteristic,
and that he is distinguished for a most
happy combination of wit and wisdom,
fun and philosophy.

gallons, of which about 200,000 gal-
lons sink deeply into the soil.
