--Here are a few curious points in the news by the Asia:

‘ Universal suffrage is given to the people of Naples. They are requested to vote by ballot, yea or nay, upon the question of a union of all the Italian States, with Victor Emanuel as constitutional king.

A serious proposition is made to the Pope to sell out or commute. An attempt is being made to carry out About's idea of a palace and a garden for the Holy Father.

One of the old Bourbons writes to the London Times and claims the throne of Spain. A Bourbon appealing to the world through a free press is one of the wonders of the age.

Garibaldi takes a railway train as a conveyance to the scene where he fights against another Bourbon, and opposes a Colt's revolver to the old-fashioned stiletto.
