A New Religion . — A Paris letter says that a great gathering of the members of the New Religion has been assembling in Paris , in order to take into consideration the measures to be adopted on the opening of the new church , belonging to the persecuted members of that worship . . This church is to be opened on the 4 th of next month in London , and many of the adherents of Pierre Michel Vintras * prophet and preacher of the sect , have alread y taken -their departure to be present at the ceremony . It ¦ rail be the first public bulding allotted to this worship , and its inauguration has re-echoed across the Straits . Pierre Michel is a prophet of the first wraterand his prophecies proved so unpalatable to
, the and to whom they announced such direful intelligence of the future , that the threat jto punish the prophet with imprisonment unless he punished himself ¦ wi th exile , was considered perfectly just and equitable . Pierre-Michel Vintras therefore went direct to London , where lie has maintained himself ever since , in the midst of a little knot of devoted followers , which , increased in numbers from time to lame by visitors from France , consists of about a score of men of every age , rank , and profession , « very one filled with devotion to the cause , and bent its
atpon spreading its fame and exalting glory . The little community has now and then given great Tineasiness to the high powers of the Tuileries , from the unpleasant feeling created by the late fulfilment of certain prophecies with regard to the Emperor . This success has increased the popularity of the doctrine of Pierre Michel Vintras to such an extent that the opening of the church has been resolved upon , and many of the younger brethren of the sect are about to set out for London , to listen to the prophecies with , which Pierre Michel is to announce the new phase in the destinies of his country .
"Victor Emmanuel and the Hungarian Cause . —The Diritto of Turin relates the following occurrence : — " On Sunday last , when the royal train arrived at the station of Alessandria , another train with 800 Hungarians , who had formed part of the levy effected in Piedmont during the war , was about to start for Genoa . The Hungarians , on perceiving the royal train , greeted it with an interminable * J 2 ljenl' which means 'Long live the King !' His Majesty , touched with this cordial manifestation , sent for General Klapka , who accompanied the Hungarians , and requested him to thank them in liis name . He further expressed sympathy for the Hungarian cause , and encouraged him to hope : a just and noble cause could not fail to triumph in the end . The words , being repeated by General Klapka to his countrymen , produced an immense sensation . "
