Summary Oe News Eor October
EQBEIGN . The foreign events for the past month have been neither few nor unimportant . We had in the first place an interview at Stuttgard between the Emperor of the French and the Bussian Czar , which was followed by another imperial meeting between the latter potentate and the Emperor of Austria : the progress of history will develop the schemes of government agreed upon at those Conferences , but as yet no person , except the parties concerned , is aware of what took place . The
King of Brussia has been seriously indisposed , and it was feared that he would not recover from the attack . He is now , however , much better . The Swedish and Norwegian Parliament have consented , during the illness of their King , to a regency in the person of the crown prince . In Spain , there has been a regular break up of the Narvaez ministry , but he is still the foremost character in Spanish politics . The Divans of both Moldavia and Wallachia have declared themselves in favour of a fusion , whereby the two provinces would become a compact state under a western prince , but still in suzerainty to the Porte . This
news has created great excitement at Constantinople , and in consequence thereof there has been " a change of administration in the cabinet of the Sultan . Erom Italy we learn that the Piedmontese Government has forsaken the liberal policy which it laid down for itself after the battle of Novara , and has given up to the King of Naples certain refugees who took shelter from his tyrannies in the territories of Sardinia . The news from America is , in a commercial sense , of the worst possible character . The reign of universal bankruptcy seems to have set in on the other side of the Atlantic .
THE WAR . The mutiny in India , although it has not been as yet crushed , has at all events reached its turning point , and the stormy waves of revolt are now fast subsiding . The country has liberally come forward to aid the Government in putting down the insurrection . Recruiting was never so brisk as it is at the present moment , and even people of small means are striving with each other in contributing to the fund for the relief of the sufferers . Delhi fell into the hands of the English on the 20 th of September , though not without heavy loss , there being 600 men and 40 officers killed or wounded . General Havelock ' s troops having been reinforced , Lucknow was expected to be relieved in a few days .
PUBLIC AMUSEMENTS . Mr . Phelps , one of the greatest sticklers we have for the legitimate drama , has revived Shakspeare ' s play of " Love ' s Labour ' s Lost " at Sadler ' s Wells . ^ At the Surrey , Mr .
