E. P. RUSSELL'S   PATENT.
FR AN C ilTTff E L LU S,
HAYING purchased the patent right of the above
valuable invention, for the purpose of supplying the counties ol Los Angeles, San Bernardino
and San Diego, is now prepared to execute all orders with which he may be favored.
The pubiic are aware that it has been the study of
(scientific men, architects and builders, for many years
to discover an article tor Hoofing purposes, that will
withstand sudden changes ot climate, be impervious
to water, and of sure protection against (ire. The
inventor of this rooting labored many years to combine articles which would answer the above purpose
and obviate the difficulties of rust and decay attendant upon tin and shingles, and the destruction by
the sun and frost, of the various compositions used
for roofing. This he succeeded in doing, and now,
after six years of the severest trial we would invite
the careful attention oi all interested in such matters,
believing that they will be fully convinced of its
practical value both for durability and economy, iu
which respects we believe that its equal is not at
present known. This roofing can readily be applied
to roofs of ftvery description, either steep or fiat, and
can be put on over shingles or tin, being much cheaper than the first and at half the cosi ot the latter.
Two coats of the mastic put on over an old leaky
tin roof, will make it as good as new at one-tl
the cost. In preparing this roofing a heavy >:
or canvass is used, which is thoroughly sutm»■.««
with a perfectly water proof preparation, alter which
it receives a thick coating, upon both sides, of the
flour of soapstone, which sets into the textur- ■"**■"
canvass, and gives
elastic and durable.

They found her dead
One snowy morning in the open street.
Her cold cheek resting on the pearly sheet
Around her spread.
And «n her lips a quiet smile reposed,
As if in sleep life's weary dream hud closed.
She slept the last, last sleep ;
Death's snal >v as on her brow, and Bhe had passed
Tired and suffering, to her home at last,
Leaving no friends to weep,
No loving ones to come at sunset hours
To sprinkle on her bosom tears aud ll.wers.
No warm and gentle hand
Clasped her's in tenderness, aa in the nigfet
She went out gently from thiw world of light
loto the shadowy land.
No earthly watcher lingered at her side
To hear her last iow murmur when she died.
But did she die alone?
No ! not alone : One friend kept watch with her,
One gentle voice, one loving smile wwa uear
The desolate unknown ;
One hand of mercy led her o'er Death's foam,
fo the better land to friends and home.

I walked alofle in depths of Autumn woods ;
The ruthless winds had left the maple bare;
The fern was withered, aud the sweet-briar's breath
No longer gave its fragrance to the air.
T-he barberry strung its coral beads no more,
The thistle down on gauzy  wings had flown ;
Aud myriad leaves on which  the summer wrote
Her blushing farewell, at my feet were strowa.
A loneliness-pervaded eve^y spot ;
A gloom of which my musing soul partook ;
All nature mourns,-£ said ; November wild
Hath torn the fairest pages from her book.
But suddenly a wild-bird overhead,
Poured forth a strain so strangely clear and sweet,
It seemed to bring me back the skies of May,
And wake the sleeping violets at my feet.
Then long I pondered o'er the poet's words,
;,The loss of beauty is not always loss;"
Till like the voice of love they soothed my  pain,
And gave me strength to bear again my cross.
O murmuring heart! thy pleasures may decay,
Thy faith grow cold, thy golden dreams take wing,
Still in the realm of faded /outh and joy,
Heaven kindly  leaves some bird of  hope to sing.

Important from Europe-
Nrw York, Jan. 19.-—The steamship City of
Washington, with Liverpool dates to the 5th inst.,
has arrived at this port.
At the New Year's Levee, the Emperor Napoie-
ou mdae a threatening remark to the Austrian
Minister, which attracted great attention. The reports growing out ot the affair causud a panic and
a decline of one per cent, on the Paris Bourse, and
h per cent ou consols at Loudon. The Kmperor's
words were: "I regret that our relations with
your Government are not so good as they were ;
bul I request you ta tell your Emperor that my
personal leeliugs for him have not changed/1
The emphatic tone of the Emperor, aud his animated gesture, attracted  the   attention  of the assembled diplomatic corps.    The Bourse was closed
till Monday   the 3rd, but on  the   opening, quite a
panic prevailed, the  decline  in   the   funds   teing
fully one   percent.    On  the  4th inst. the Bouri
coulimied depressed, andagaiu rather lower.    TL
Louden Exchange sympathized with the Paris d'
cline, and consols were  at   one   time I lower, and
the market closed flat^
At Vie: na, also, a panic prevailed under the ru
mor that Austria would send troops to Belgrade
Italy continues unsettled, aud Lombard; in particular. The news from all parts are pregnant
with alarm. The steps taken in Lombardy are almost tantamount to a state of Beige.-
The Spanish Aliuislry have declared that Spain
will never sell Cuba, and have protested against
the iusukiug hypothesis to the coutraryMmplied in
President Buchanan's message.
Olozula introduced a motion iu the Cortez-'-sup-
porting the Ministerial declaration, and was unanimously approved.
Spain has obtained fall Batisiaction fromMexijo
for the Tampico. affair.
Rumors prevail of the discovery of a formidable
conspiracy at Cracow. Numerous arrests of parties said to be implicated have been made at Cracow.
Everything was quiet in Servia. The Bombay
mall of December 9th had reached England- The
news includes an account of a large army of rebels
having been defeated by the Commander-in-Chief.
The amnesty was slowly but effectually thinning
the ranks of the rebels, giving promise of early
peace.
London, January 7.—The disquietude satined-
by the Emperor Napoleon's menace to the Austrian Minister, continued to affect the political
and financial world. The panic continued on the
Paris Bourse.
On tbe 7th instant, the Paris Moniteur published the following paragraph :
"For several days public opinion has been agitated hy too alarming reports which it is the duty
of the Government to put a stop to, by declaring
that nothing in the diplomatic relations authorises
the tears which these reports tend to provofce."
This caused a slight improvement in the funds,
both at Paris and London, but it was only temporary, an&allthe improvement was subsequently
lost.
It is reported that the French Government has
nt a very   threatening note to Austria, warning
her of the consequences of Austriaus crossing the
Servian frontiers.
Tne accounts from Italy are alarming. Austria
sending strong reinforcements into Lombardy,
where her garrisons are already on a war looting.
An outbreak was anticipated at Milan. It was
rumored that that city was in a state of siege, and
that, irv-sui agitation existed likewisea" Cremona.
Moilena and elsewhere, but the rumor hid' not
an soldiers at Cremona.
Lonwo.v, Saturday,-JunuKry 8.—The TirfWB intimates that the Emperor's speech to the Austrian
Minister was made with the view of learning how
the great powers would receive the project of
French interference in Italy, and- wjb (he result
has happily been a decisive and great failure.
Owing to the increasing suspicion with which his
policy is regarded, the attempt of the Monit.i ur to
sooth the excitement has bus partially  succeeded.

New YOKE, Jan. 22.—The Herald's Washington !
correspondence says : In the executive session of'
the Senate to day, an angry discussion arose" -be-"
tween Judge Douglas and Senator Fitch, when
words were used -which, it is thought, must lead to■'.
a duel. - The d.-bate occurred on the question of
confirming Putter, of Ohio, as Collector of Toledo.-
Mr. Pugh opposed Potter's nomination, as the
man displaced was his friend. He said if .he President desired an issue with him, (Pugh) he was"
ready for it. He denounced the appointment, andT
called ou every Senator who was his (_Fugk's)
friend'ro vote against it*
Mr. Douglas responded, saying that he would
vote with the Senator from Ohio. He then branch-'
ed nft on to tbe Illinois appointments, aud said
that they were dishonest, corrupt and incompetent.
Senator Fitch interrogated Doirglas, aud said it-
was untrue.
Douglas again reiterated what he had said.
Fitch again said it wae untrue. (Cries of order
were then made.)-
Douglas then continued the debate.
Pi ten replied iu Etoagltta with grout bitterness,
and said that Senator* knew how to prize anything
coming from that quarter.    tCr,os of Order.)
Mr. Douglas then replied and was called to order.
Motions were iheu made that Douglas be allowed--
to »o on in order.
Jeff. Davis opposed it. aud^aid. turniug to Doug-'
las, thai he had listened with indignation tu the'
language used, aud it was that of a highwayman1
and bravado.
The debate was continued" some time-, when a1
motion was made aud the Senate adjourned. It
was said the lie wa» given, and most severe personal remarks niaiii1.

The annual returns of the British navy, showing its c-ondition on the 1st of January, reports
that it consists of 523 vessels, of every descrip--
tion, exclusive of 167 gun-boats. The number of
vessels in commission and doing duty in all parts
of the globe is 176. There are also eleven line of-
battle screw steamers, of from 80 to 131 gun* each,
in the course of construction, with fifteen other
screw steamers in various stages of progress. The
navy is reported as in a most efficient state, both
as regards the number of vessels and the manner
in which they are equipped.
The number of emigrants who left Liverpool in
in 1858 was 7'0,4(56, a decrease of 71,456 aS compared with tbe year preceding. Of these emigrants  nearly 41,000 were  hound for the Uuited
