What Kill lieaiilt from the Battle of Sol/e rino.?What next"? is the question which every me now is asking. Even at this moment tlienilitary position is scarcely ohnnged ; for we lave as yet no reason to conclude ibat tfie French have advanced far in pursuit of their enemy. The Austrian is where he was in tlie parly part of last week, with this exception, that lie lias suffered a defeat, lost several thousand men, o ceainin number of flags and cannon, and that his military prestige is lowered in nrooortinn lo iiis losses. The system which looked *o welf on paper Ims broken down, but the war is not yet concluded. The Austrian atill possets his rortrexHcs, and even if Napoleon 111. be *s stico-ssful in (lie difficult work of besieging fortified towns ith lie tins hitherto lieou on the battle field there it? still the Tyrol to full brick upon. Meanlime, the Austrian* are in their own country, close to their own fortress?', within easy reach of their own resources. The French, on the Dther hand, must pay in hard coi<h for everything they require. They are already in ii?sed of reinforcement *; thinned nn they havo been by the Kword and by disease?and each day that passes heroine#, in one respect, again to Austria and a proportionate lots to France. Up to the point at which we are arrived, then, it cannot be that any decisive triumph hint been achieved by the invading nriny. Louis Nnpoleon liap, indeed, " covered himself" with thst glory of which lus countrymen are chiefly proud; he has proved that he c<tn command uii army no less success, fullV than he csm covmii * i>?nnt? ? - , , ?..U .1- may be tlml lie " who runs niny rend" a lesson therein for other nation** besides Austria.

London llcraltl. The Verified.? Of late year#, even the existence of the iMaelstorm on the coaat of Norway has heen doubted. The ancient accounty of its terriblo power were doubtleis fabulous, htu M. Hnjjcrrup, Minister of the Norwegian Marine, has recently given a reliable account of it, iu reply to eomc questions from a correspondent of the Roston Recorder. The vast whirl idealised by the Retting iu nnd out of Ihe iides between I.ofullen and Moaken, and ia moat violent half-way between e'ib and fllootf tide. At flood nnd ebb tide it disuppeara for about half an hour, but begins again with the moving of t'le waters. Large vessels may pasa over it safely in serene weather, but in a storm it ia perilous to the largest cralt. Small boata are not safe near it at the time of it? strongest action iu any weather. The whirl* in (lie Maeli-torm do not, an was once supposed, draw v?asela nudor the water, but bv their violence they fill them with water, or dash them upon the neighboring shoals. Ilagerrup saya : ''In winter, it not frequently happens that at ?ea. a tvnnk of cloud's shows a western storm. with heavy sea, lo be prevailing there, while further in, on the coast, the clear air ahowa that hi the inrulf of We.-t tjord (east fide of Lofoden) ho wind bl?w? from the land, and aeta out .hrnugh the ijord fioin '.he eaat. In auch cases, specially, an approach to the lVlaelstorm ia in In* highest degree (kingerous, for the stream and littler current from opposite directions work here together, to. make the whole passage one ingle (toiling cauldron. At such timet appear he mighty whirls which have given it the namo if Maelbtrom (that in, the whirling or grinding ream,) and in which no craft whatever can iol(l ito course. For a steamer it ia then quit* nadvisable to attempt the pnnsage of the ftiaeltront during a winter storm, and for sailing 'easel it may also be bad enough in time of sum* ner, should there fall a culm or light wind, thereby the power of the stream heroines greatr than that of the wind, leaviug tho vessel no onger under command."
