The America’s News.
The following telegraphic summary of the
news from Europe by the steamer America,
is all that we notice in addition to that re-
ceived last week:
The America’s dates are from Liverpool to
the 6th, London to the 5th. and- Paris to the
4th ult.
It is contemplated to abolish the Irish courts
of law, and transfer all the judiciary to Lon-
don. The Irish press is violently opposed to
the measure. - .
The repeal agitations are partly revived in
Ireland.
India.—Another mail has arrived from In-
dia, bringing dates from Bombay to the 22d
of March, and from Calcutta to the 20th of
February. There are evidences of growing
uneasiness on the part of the people, and sev-
eral very serious demands have been made
against the British. As an inevitable conse-
quence, more valuable territory has been an-
nexed to the East India Company’s posses-
sions. Trade at Bombay unsatisfactory, ex-
cept produce was scarce and money market
stringent. At Calcutta, affairs present a more
encouraging aspect.
France.—Although increased ^excitement
and greater bitterness between conflicting par-
ties, the only marked events during the past
fortnight, have been, first, the revolt of one of
the regiments which the Government has not
succeeded in quelling; second, a popular de-
monstration, in a small way, against Louis
Napoleon, as he passed through the streets.
The most significant event in the Legisla-
tive Assembly, was a proposition by M. de la
Roche Jaquelin, a friend of the President, to
the effect, that on the first Sunday in June,
the nation should be called upon to pronounce
definitely on the formation of a Government
which it should choose to select, and that eve-
ry elector should be called upon to inscribe on
his ballot “Monarchy” or “Republique.”—
That if a Republic should acquire a majority,
it should be proclaimed in the Chamber by the
President of the Republic; and if Monarchy
obtains a majority, it should be proclaimed by
the President of the Assembly. This remark-
" able proposition was received in silence by the
majority, and by decisive sneers from the
Mountain.
The proposition was not put to test, in con-
sequence of not having been seconded, and the
previous question immediately voted unanim-
ously. The members of the Mountain re-
ceived the announcement with cries ofVive
la Republique !”
It is said that the President of the Republic
is so deeply in debt, that nothing but the pos-
session of the imperial crown ean extricate
him, and that he is at present in negociation
with Russia, for the purpose of possessing
himself of that, to him, now necessary protec-
tion. The Government is persevcringly em-
ployed in introducing their measures of coer-
tion, in which the majority of the assembly
support them.
Austria and Prussia.—The Paris corres-
pondent of the London Standard, of a late
date, says: “The Government is said to have
received despatches from Germany, Which
lead to the belief that the collision between
Austria and Prussia is almost unavoidable.
Language used by both parties partake more
of the hostile.”
Greece.—Advices from Athens to March
19th, furnish only the confirmation of previous
reports. Eleven of the captured vessels have
been given up by Sir William Parker.
A courier arrived with despatches from Lon-
don on the 18th.
Italy.—A recent number of the Roman
Observer says that the return of the Pope is
definitely fixed for the 6th inst., giving gene-
ral satisfaction.
SpAiN.-^The report from Madrid of a speedy
reconciliation between the English and Span-
ish Governments is confirmed.
The state of Cuba causes the greatest so-
licitude on the part of the Spanish Govern-
ment.
Advices from Lisbon state that Com. Mar-
tin was concentrating Ins squadron at the Ti-
gris, in anticipation of a visit from the Ameri-
can naval forces, to enforce the settlement of
long standing claims of the American Govern-
ments
Prussia.—An imperious note has been ad-
dressed by the Russian Government to that
of Prussia, on the subject of the Schleswig
Holstein dispute. After enumerating all the
points at issue, the note says, there are so
many facts, which the Emperor cannot regard
with indifference, and from which he cannot
retreat, in consequence of the Russian Ca-
binet. The note Concludes by distinctly inti-
mating the determination of the Emperor to
employ decisive measures in support of the
Danish side of the controversy.
A serious rupture had occurred between the
Governments of Prussia and Wurtemburg, in
consequence of the tone assumed by the King
of the latter country, in opening the Cham-
bers.
Prussia has addressed a message to Wur-
temburg, conceived in strong terms, express-
ing the astonishment of the King s Govern-
ment at the speech, and regrets with the most
profound indignation the suspicion and accusa-
tion it contains, and declares its dignity to reply
thereto, or to continue diplomatic relations
with Wurtemburg. The Prussian Ambassa-
dor had been recalled.
Germany.—Berlin is. it is said, to be sur-
rounded with fortified barracks, which have
already been commenced near the gates of the
city.
The German Parliament assembled at Er-
furt on the 20th of March. Advices were re-
ceived to the 20t.h, at which time little had
been done beyond organizing the assembly.
It is said that negociations have been opened
by the central States of Germany with the
United States, for the purchase of American
vessels of war, completely equipped for ser-
vice.
Letters from Stockholm pronounce that by
a general order the Swedish navies are being
put on a war footing. The object is not
known.
Turkey. — Advices from Constantinople
state that preparations are making to conduct
Kossuth and other Hungarian refugees to
Katahia, Asia Minor, where they are to be
confined for the term of five years.
A telegraphic despatch of the 29th of
March, from Trieste, states that an insurrec-
tion in Bosnia is extending and increasing in
strength. Two thousand Turkish troops were
defeated by the insurgents, and compelled to
evacuate the fortress of Banjaluka.
Newspapers Edited by Ladies.—Theie
are six newspapers in the United States edited
by ladies, namely:
Pittsburg Visiter, Mrs. Swisshelm.
Windham County Democrat, (Vt.,) Mrs.
C. J. H. Nichols.
The Lily, (Seneca Falls,) Mrs. Bloomer.
The Lancaster Gazette, (Pa.,) Mrs. Pier-
son.
The Yazoo Whig, Mrs. Prewett.
The Mountain Bough, Mrs. Horn.
Mrs. Partington in III Health.—La,
me! sighed Mrs. Partington, here 1 have been
sufferin’ the begamies of death for three mor-
tal weeks. Fust. I was seized with a painful
phrenology in the left hampshire of the left
ventilator of the heart. This gave me an in-
flammation in the borax, and now I’m sick with
the chloroform morbus. There is no blessin’
like that of health, particularly when you’re
sick.

YTTHEREAS, Israel Robords on the sixth day of
VV April, 1850, filed his petition in the Clerk’s
office of the District Court of said county of Gal-
veston, which petition alleges that the plaintiff,
Israel Robords, and the defendant, Olive Deake,
were married in the year 1823, in the State of New
York, that plaintiff had always demeaned himself
as a kind and affectionate husband, providing am-
ply for the comfort and support of said defendant;
that the defendant had by reason of her excesses,
cruel treatment and outrages, rendered his living
with her insupportable, and the plaintiff having
made affidavit that the defendant resides beyond
the limits of the State.
These are, therefore, to command you to sum-
mon the said Olive Robords to be and appear be-
fore the Honorable the Judge of the First Judicial
