and signed by some thousands of citizens of Maine, was put forward in proof of the anxiety of that population to place themselves at the feet of that ideal power, whom we see on the coppers, sitting by the sea shore, with a trident, a shield and a lion.It strikes us that neither of these forms of annexation is likely to be very speedily realized, and that with a little mutual chaffing the editors on either side of the line will have accomplished all that is to come out of the discussion.There is certainly nothing in the United States at present which any Canadian need envy.If we have any complaint to make, it is, that in some of their worst peeuliarities we are a great deal too much like them already.Our public men and our corporate bodies show only too great a proclivity towards the corruptions which prevail to the south of us to make us desire that they should have more and practical lessons in so evil a school.The one want which annexation would have met when it was proposed, was the want of a Southern market for our produce.To a great extent that has been achieved by treaty, and the same method which has created an outlet for the productions of the farmer may be applied to secure to our manufactured goods a chance for consumption among the millions to the South of the St.Lawrence and the Lakes.It more extensive free trade between the two countries be desirable, it can be obtained in this manner just as well as by a political connection, which would make us part of a Confederacy so easily unconfederated as the dis-United States appear to be.Besides it must not be concealed that Canadians look with undisguised contempt upon the present aspect of Canadian nationality, in which we see all the audacity on the side of traitors and thieves, while the constituted authorities show nothing but imbecility and cowardice.If we are accustomed to see the minority submit, we are also accustomed to see the legally constituted government assert itself.We are not likely willingly to exchange a nationality which we respect for one which late events, at least, have taught us to despise.But, on the other hand, the spirit of nationality is not absent from the American heart ; and, however disgraceful the present posture of affairs may appear abroad, a citizen of the Union may fairly hope that it will be reformed by the processes of the Constitution.The rule of Mr.Buchanan endures only for some five-and-twenty days longer ; and it will not be till Mr.Lincoln shall have shown his hand and shall hare failed, that it can fairly he said that the American Constitution has no safeguard against the disruption of its integral parts.We are very much inclined to the opinion that another six months, so far as the territorial divisions of North America are concerned, will see things very much in the same position which they occupied six months ago.We believe that the chimera of a Southern Confederacy will have been by that time exploded, or even that if it is established it will make very little difference as to the substantial prosperity of the various States.We believe that Canada will be just where she is now, with institutions so similar to those of our neighbours as to make a change practically change nothing ; yet, with so much reverence for her traditions and nationality, as to make us hold on tenaciously to existing distinctions, rather than merge in a political society, whose recent proceedings have been suggestive of nothing that can either command respect or inspire confidence.Thk Kingdom or Italt.\u2014We may expect stirring news from Gaeta before many days are over.Admiral Barbier de Tinan has now left King Francis to the mercies of General Cialdini and Admiral Persano, and it must be expected that the assault on the fortress will be pressed with vigour.Both besiegers and besieged have been making great preparation.The delay in the attack which has been occasioned by the intervention of the French, has given time to the garrison to cast rifled cannons and to make other preparations for defences, in addition to the accumulated fortifications of a stronghold which has been one tor centuries.On the other hand, Cialdini has prepared batteries which are supposed to be capable of accomplishing anything which batteries can do.On a recent occasion, when the French Admiral was pressing upon him a cessation of hostilities, and professing to do so on account of the want of preparation on the part of the besiegers, the Italian replied by begging for a delay of about twenty-four hours, which would enable him to show what a \" Hellish fire \" he could direct upon the place.We must, therefore, look every day for the account of a terrible conflict between the artillery on both sides, and possibly for an assault, should the guns of the besiegers succeed in effecting a practicable breach.Rdssian Treaty with China.\u2014The publication of the Russian treaty with China enables us to see how much greater have been the achievements of the diplomatists of the Czar than those which have been accomplished by our own.It appears that the Chinese Government hoped to make use of the Russian Ambassador as a mediator in the war, and he pro-hablv took advantage of that circumstance to carry forward his own negotiations.He has succeeded in carrying down the Southern line of Russian Siberia on the coast twelve degrees of latitude, and so brought the boundary of the Kmp;re to the Sea of Japan.While the Eng-glish, by their treaty, have obtained entry for their merchandize at moderate fixed rates of duty, the Russians have secured absolute free trade, which, however, may inure to the advantage of the British under the most favoared nation clause of their treaty.And again, while the British traders are to obtain licenses from Mandarins, the Russians are to be allowed to enter the Chinese Empire, even in bodies of two hundred together, on a Russian certificate of nationality ; and are to be subject to their own laws while within Chinese territory.General Ignatieff has certainly made a better treaty than LordElgin\u2019s,though the latter has cost two millions of money.In fact, the Kussian has, probably, gained the best part of the advantages, which the British expenditure alarmed the Chinese into conceding.Without this expenditure, however, it is probable that the British would have obtained no treaty at all.County op Grey Election.\u2014We are glad to learn, from the Toronto Globe, that the oft-rejected Mr.Solicitor-General Morrison is opposed as a candidate for the suffrages of the electors in Grey by one of themselves, an old resident and consistent Reformer.From local and special circumstances, which greatly favor any office-holding candidate\u2014even, as in Mr.Morrison\u2019s case, when his connection with the Government is his only claim upon the electors \u2014oar contemporary, although hopeful, is not very sanguine of the result.He justly adds, however, and we entirely agree with the Globe, that were there nothing more than the addresses of the two candidates to determine the,votes of the electors, these alone should furnish argument enough to cast them all in Mr.Purdy\u2019s favour.Here is the address of the \u201clittle Benjamin\u201d \u2014the last born\u2014of the shufflers ::\u2014 \u201c Gentlemen,\u2014At the request of many of the electors of jour county, I beg to offer myself as a candidate for your suffrages at the approaching election.\u201c Having the honour to hold a seat in the Executive Council, with the office of Solicitor General for Upper Canada, it is not necessary to address you at length upon my political position, or with regard to the line of conduct it would be my duty to pursue if I have the good fortune to be elected your representative.I can, however, assure you that I will hold office only so long as the policy and measures of the Administration will be directed to the gen eral advancement and good government of the Province, and will not conflict with your interests, or that of the people at large.\u201c It is my intention to visit the various townships oliycur c Vinty to in farysetTsLC^-^ist-ed with the people, their wants, and wishes.I hope to be able to meet the eleciors frequently and to express to them my views and opinions, and to afford to them every opportunity of receiving from me the fullest explanation they may require with reference to the acts of the present Government, or the previous Governments of which I was a member or supporter.\u201c Your local affairs will always receive my strict attention, and I shall on all occasions use my best endeavours and influence to promote such measures as you may deem requisite for the general good and improvement of your section of the country.\u201c I have the honour to be, Your obedient servant, \u201c 0.J.MORRISON.\u201d It is difficult to\u201dconceive of anything more puerile and deliberately evasive, than this pretended confession of Mr.Morrison\u2019s political faith ; and it would not be easy to conceive of a more forcible contrast to the Solicitor General\u2019s announcement to the electors\u2014that he is the Solicitor General, and,that, 6\u201cnotto know him would argue themselves unknown\u201d\u2014than his opponent.Mr.Purdy\u2019s frank, straightforward manly address\u2014\u201cGentlemen,\u201d he says, \u201cmy position and principles are soon stated :\u2014 \u201c 1.I have no confidence in the present Administration, or any of its members.My reasons are :\u2014that they have more than doubled the public debt since 1854: ; it was then about $30,000,000, it is now upwards of $70,000,000.They have doubled the Annual expense of the Government, and have, therefore, enormously increased the burden of taxation upon the people.They have governed Upper Canada by-means of votes from Lower Canada ; denying us measures asked for by a majority of our representatives, and forcing upon us measures, against our interests, and against our desires, as represented by that majority'.They have been frequently accused, and in some instances proved guilty of corrupt and unconstitutional, acts, to secure their own personal ends.They have, under threats of confiscation, pressed the: poor settlers of this and the adjoining counties for payments upon land, at a time when, from, from the failure of the crops and the scarcity of money, such payments were impossible.For these, and other reasons, I am decidedly opposed to the Administration.\u201c 2.I am opposed to any further grants or loans to the Grand ,Trunk Railway.That Company has already sunk $16,000,000 of the people\u2019s money, and they are now asking $12,-500,000 more.The Ministry are willing to make the grant\u2014so the friends of the Company say\u2014if your representatives in Parliament can be persuaded to vote it.\u201c3.I am opposed to French domination as it now exists in Canada.I shall therefore vote for Representation by Populatien, or any honest measure of relief from this intolerable evil.\u201c4.I am in favour of a thorough retrenchment in all the departments of the Government, so as to bring the annual expenditure within the income, and reduce as far ta3 possible, the present high rate of taxation.\u201cIn conclusion, gentlemen, 1 shall, if elected, advocate equal justice to all ranks, classes and creeds.Being a resident of the county, my interests are identical with yours ; I shall therefore do my best to advance them.1 am no office-seeker, contractor, or jobber.I am not looking for a seat to secure me $3,000 a-year, but solicit your votes as a plain man\u2014one of yourselves, anxious to serve my county and my country, and looking to your approbatiem as my reward.Eebattdm.\u2014In our report of the meeting of Mr.Doherty\u2019s friends, published yesterday, the name of Mr.A.Cavanagh should have been H.Kavanagh.The Grand Masonic Ball.\u2014 The Masonic Ball advertised to take place next Monday evening, bids fair to be one of the leading events of the season.The preparations that are being made are of the best possible description, and cannot fail to give satisfation to all who attend this re-union.Nordheimer\u2019s magnificent Music Hall will be elegantly decorated for the occasion : the floor is one of the best in the city for dancing, whilst the raised platform round the hall will be conveniently filled with seats for those who do not take part in this amusement.The Band of the Royal Canadian Rifles will furnish the Quadrille Music, and will also perform some choice Overtures during the intervals.The lefreshments and supper are under the renowned superintendence of \u201c Dolly,1\u2019 which is sufficient to ensure all that can be desired.To sum up the arrangements, we are informed that convenient retiring and dressing rooms, attached to the hall, have been engaged and fitted up with a view to secure every convenience and comfort.Independent of these important items to enjoyment, we would observe that the entertainments given by \u201c the brethren of the mystic tie\u201d are always of the highest respectability, and are marked by a decorum and dignity which are not surpassed by the most aristocratic entertainments.On the whole, therefore, we can safely promise our readers, who purpose attending this bail, an evening of the greatest pleasure and enjoyment.ILaw Intelligence.COURT OF QUARTER SESSIONS.Chairman\u2014G.J.Coursol, Esq.(Reported for the Montreal Herald.)

named William Davis, was summoned betore the Court on the charge of selling spirituous liquors^without license.This prosecution was brought under the act giving: the Recorder\u2019s Court concurrent

postponed.The third was settled out of Court.LARCENY.A man, named Thophile Lalimondiere who was charged in November last with stealing clothing to the value of £5, and arrested on Saturday last,was sentenced,on a plea of guilty to three months\u2019imprisonment.CENSUS INTELLIGENCE.Census in Stanstead.\u2014Our readers hereabout who are aware that the census has just been taken may like to know some of the particulars in detail.The division No.6 as set off by the Census Commissioner Mr.Bullock eommen ces on lot No.1 in the tenth Range, thence northward east of the Municipality of Stanstead Plain Village taking all east of the Road leading to the Burrough\u2019s Place, thence along Hatley line east to Barnston, thence South to the Vt.line, thence West to the place of starting.Being the length of four lots wide at the South end, and less than tüe length of two lots at the North end.Within the area of this boundary there are, say 777 souls.Eighty one names are entered as Farmers, having stock, or in the possession or occupancy of land returnable in the Agricultural Census.The amount of woodland, or wild returned is 4254\u2014cleared 8325 in crops 4624\u2014 the value of the real estate returned is$2ü4,665 \u2014the value of farming implements is $7,470.Bushels of Wheat raised in 1860\t4,996 Lbs.of Maple Sugar made\t47,478 \u201c \u201c Wool Sheared\t5,565 Oxen returned one hundred and twenty four \u2014-Horses 210 valued at 16,647\u2014Cows 351, over four for every farmer entered.This speaks well for thoso who have an eye to population and healthy children.We doubt if Upper Canada can hold out a better prospect, as much as she wants population just now as the basis of representation.The value of all live stock is put down at $47,417\u2014the value of pleasure carriages is put down at less than 6,000.There ar» 669 young cattle, 127 colts, 120 pigs, 1,500 sheep\u2014the number oflive annimal is about fire times that or the men, women, and children.The butter produced is, say forty pounds for each soul in jthe division.Who will say ho\u2019! for the West, or for any gold region, when the soil of so small an area gives such munificient returns for the labor and skill applied ?The value of live stock and of real estate equals say $360 for each individual in the division were it equally distributed.The largest amount ol real estate held and occupied by one individual is valued at $10,000.And the value of the live stock, highest on the list, owned as above is $2,720.The Census of Cornwall.\u2014We are able to give the numbers for each ward in the town of Cornwall, as taken by the enumerators :\u2014 West ward,.463 Centre ward,.988 East Ward,.448 Total,.1,899 These figures disappoint a good mauy people though we hear no doubt expressed as to their correctness.In 1852, nine years ago, the population of the town was relurned at 1,646\u2014 though that, it is believed, was a pretty large figure at that time.It is scarcely fair, however, to call nineteen hundred, the population of Cornwall.The railway station is built just outside of the corporation.A t the looks just below the town, and the locks just above the town again, are little settlements really belonging to the town, though they will be returned in the township.\u2014Economist.The Census of Octawa.\u2014We [the Onion] are enabled to give the following particulars in reference to the city census :\u2014 Total population, 1861, 14,554.Wellington ward.2,339 Victoria ward.2,030 St.George\u2019s ward.2,547 By-ward.3,938 Ottawa Ward.3,700 Total.14,554 Upper Town.4,369

Minei ve of yester-following extraordinary Brutal Conduct.day contains the statement : \u2014 \u201c A young man, named Joseph Crevier, was going from Montreal to Pointe Claire by the Grand Trunk line.When past the latter place, the conductor finding him in the car, asked him why he continued the journey, having paid his passage only as far as Pointe Claire.\u2014 Crevier replied that he wished to go to Ste.Anne.Thereupon the conductor seized him by the collar, telling him that he was going to put him out, and, in fact, he went out of the car and threw him off) without reflecting that the train was advancing at a very considerable speed.The body of the unfortunate Crevier was found, frozen, on the road.Coroner Jones was summoned to the spot to make an inquiry into the matter, but the inquest has not been continued, the reason unknown.The authorities should look to it that a strict investigation be made into this unhappy affair.\u201d Number of Buiidings erected in Montreal for

seen published.In the census report for 1851 the populations of the majority of the towns and villages mentioned below was not given separately from that of the townships, so that we have been unable to institute a comparison between the two returns.Perhaps our contemporaries in the several localities will, if possible, publish the returns of the population in 1851 from local records.It will thus be possible to give an approximate estimate of the present population of Canada.We are aware that many towns and villages have sprung into existence in this section of the Province within the last ten years.In those cases of course it will be almost impossible to carry out these suggestions.The following items have already been published :\u2014 1851.Stratford.700 Sandwich.Niagara.3340 Sarnia.Windsor.Brockville.3246 Iroquois.Morrisburg.Southampton.Ottawa.7760 St.Mary\u2019s.Barton Township.1735 Prescott.2191 Peterboro.2191 Cornwall.1646 Woodstock.2112 grim dogs of war protrude their muzzles, nine of them levelled direct at Fort.Sumter.What is conceived to be tbe weakest point ia the granite mass has been selected as the mark at which all these cannon are pointed, and they will give the work of the mason a severe test.The interior of the fort also presents a most warlike aspect.The oven fur hot shot is in readiness, like your steam fire-engines, lor firing up at any moment, and all the equipments for carnage piled up around the gun carriages.\u2014 The magazine has been buried in a cavern of sand-bsgs, and is believed to be beyond the reach of shot or shell.The military are anxious for the fight to commence, as, having come to Charleston to fight, they are indisposed to go home without smelling powder.They are most impatient at the delay, and the stormy and unpleasant weather has rendered their military duties veiy severe and irksome.At Morris Island, three large Columbiads have been mounted and entrenched in sand-bags, with a 43-pounder and a formidable mortar.The batteries at Fori Johnson are also becoming quite formidable, and it is intended to keep up a fire on Sumpter from these these three forts for 24 hours before an attempt is made to assault the stronghold of Uncle Sam.The impression is that a breach can be made in the walls, and that Major Anderson's limited garrison will be so worn out by the severe labors of working the guns incessantly for so long a time, that the storming parly on rafts will be able to accomplish the escalade without much difficulty or loss of life.There is no doubt of the fact that rafts are being constructed fur the assault.They will be constructed of palmetto logs, and cotton bales used as a protection for the assaulting party.In all the conversations and speculations on the subject of the attack.I hear but few thoughts expressed as to the amount of damage Major Anderson will be able to do.The impression is that he will take them seriatim, commencing with Fort Moultrie, and here \u201csand-bags\u201d are considered a match for case-mated granite.The question as to whether he can silence the guns of Moultrie is never broached, though it is said that he can dismount all their guns in a few hours, and then turn his attention to the weaker batteries on Morris Island and Fort Johnson.Should he be able to thus silence all their heavy guns before any serious impression is made on his walls, which he deems impregnable, what wilt become of the projected assault and escalade ?South Carolina at Washington.\u2014The N.Y.Herald says \u2014 Colonel Hay ne, - the Commissioner from South Carolina, on Saturday sent to the President a communication containing the ultimatum of that State.He proposes to enter into negotiations for the purchase of Fort Sumpter, and in case of refusal threatens the capture of that foetificatiion.Per contra the Tribune says :\u2014.Col.Bayne made his tormel communication to the president yesterday.So far from demanding the surrender of Fort Sumpter as the ultimatum, the tone is quite pacific and conciliatory.A Republican Demonstration.\u2014The same paper says :\u2014 Notwithstanding the compromising aspect of things, there is likely to be a Republican demonstration here before many days.There would have been a very emphatic.expression of opinion by Republican Senators on the day of Mr.Seward\u2019s speech on the New York petition, but for the fact that Mr.Mason was awarded the floor instead of Mr.Fessenden.It cannot be Ion g postponed.Gov.Chase arrived this morning.He is explicit against the Comoro-misers.\tJ.S.P.The Duty on Sugar.\u2014There is a strong disposition to repeal the duty on sugar, which gives twenty-four per cent protection to a State ia open rebellion against the Government.The $7,000,000 revenue from that source can be raised by a loan, if necessary, for a year or two until Louisiana returns to her allegiance.\u2014 When this item was before the Special Tariff Committee of the Senate, Messrs.Hunter and Gwin, who had not attended any of the meetings, were brought in by Mr Bigler and voted to retain the protection, though both are freetraders.The conspirators are for making the most out of the government they are plotting to overthrow.This duty must be repealed.1861.2800 1014 3000 2019 2501 4500 622 940 602 14554 2800 2735 4000 4800 1899 3350 AMERICAN ITEMS.We direct the attention of our readers to the important Sale of Propeeties belonging to the Estate of the late Sir George Simpson, at Mr.Leeming\u2019s office, to-morrow (Thursday), at 11 o\u2019clock.Immediately after the above several Lots on Dalhousie Square will be offered, particulars of which may be seen in our advertk-'ng columns.FROM CHARLESTON.The correspondent oi the Baltimore American writing from Charleston on the 30th Jaauary, says : The events of the past few days, and the tidings from Washington so unfavorable to a peaceable surrender of Fort Sumter, have brought about a settled conviction that we have warm work to encounter.The question is not now, \u201cWill Fort Sumter be attacked?\" hut \u201c When will the attack commence?\u201d Fort Moultrie, under the skillful direction of Major Ripley, with his black brigade of picks and shovels, has thrown up breastworks and mounted heavy guns to such an extent that the whole appearance of the fort has changed, and has almost attained its utmost state of efficiency.Huge heaps of sand-bags surmount the ramparts, faced with palmetto logs, and covered with hides, from the embrasures of which the SEIZURE OF THE MINT AND PUBLIC MONEY AT NEW ORLEANS.Washington, Feb 2, 1861.Some ten days ago Secretary Dix gave to Adams\u2019s Express Company a draft on the Assistant Treasurer at New Orleans, for the purpose of transferring the coin and bullion to tbe Mint in Philadelphia.The amount of the draft was three hundred and fifty thousand dollars Three days ago he received a dispatch from Adams\u2019s agent in New Orleans, stating that the amount would be delivered in two or three days, but that the Assistant Treasurer declined to deliver a part, assigning as a reason that he wished to pay the entire draft at once.The Secretary immediately telegraphed to the Treasurer to pay to the Express agent on that day as large an amount as the agency could transport.To-day the Secretary has received a dispatch from the Express Company informing him that the Assistant Treasurer lefused to pay any portion of the draft, and that the Brauch Mint has been taken possession of by the authorities of the State of Louisiana.The circumstances clearly indicate deliberate contrivance on the part of the State authorities to get possession of the money in the Mint.On receipt of this news this morning the President called an extraordinary session of the Cabinet, and the whole subject was considered.\u2014Commercial Advertiser of Saturday.The Palmetto Flag.\u2014The first attempt of a vessel to enter a foreign port under the flag of the

expressed.Bolted she has ; cut stick, vamosed, levanted, absconded, she has ; quite a large amount of our personal property has she taken with her, but she has left our dear old bird.She has spoiled the gridiron, but she has spared the goose.We have him still, beak, talons, feathers ! For us, dis-United States ¦though we may be\u2014he will continue to soar, and scream, and spread his wings.From our banner, a star or two may madly shoot, and a stripe or so may fade ; but we keep our bird\u2014creature called by our name\u2014our pet fowl, so admired and respected in the principal Courts of Europe.He has not nullified, nor would he for a whole quarter of mutton.Without him we had been bankrupt in our blazonry, hard up in our heraldry, a colorless, flagless, standardless, buntingless, pennonless people.With him we may indulge in dreams of future glory to some extent gratifying.Let us indulge ! The Southern Confederacy, it would seem, is sick of ornithological devices.In cropping the eagle, it crops the whole feathered race.There ware birds to be had for the catching\u2014-iptïzards, vultures, condors, adjutants, flamingoes, parrots, caws\u2014hut it will have nothing to do with them.In its present melancholy position of political chlorosis, it has a stomach only for snakes.At Montgomery, the other day,after the Convention had concluded its pleasing labors of disintegration, the lovely ladies presented a banner to the delegates, whereupon was embroidered, probably by their own delicate digits, a huge rattlesnake, so done to the life that by the mere imagination he was distinctly heard to rattle.\u201c In hoc siÿno \u201cvinces, Mr.President!\u201dsaid the ladies; orrather they would have said so, if they had understood Latin, \u201c To be sure !\u201d the President responded, or would have responded, if he had been skilled in dead tongues.The whole scene must have been a pretty one.Snakes and ladies ! the conjunction may not appear to the fastidious a particularly felicitous one.There is an old, a very old story, of a Snake and a Lady, and of a short but important conversation between them respecting the edibility of a certain apple, in the course of which the slimy creature observed : \u201c Por God doth know \u201cthat in the day ye eat thereof, then your eye \u201c shall be opened ; and ye shall be as gods, know-\u201c ing good and evil.\u201d We have all read of what happened after the fatal bite.We all understand what that little pippin has cost us.Adam seceded, under a strong pressure, from the Garden, and none of his descendants have been so fortunate as to return to its enchanting scenes.The snake, it appears, has not yet, in spite of all his bruises, recovered from his old habit of oily lying.He whispers still to tho ambitious and the restless, and the discontented ! \u201c Bite, and be brave ! Bite, \u201c and be Presidents, Generals, Dukes, or Kings ! \u201c Bite, and be happy ! Bite, and be as gods !\u201d Under the combined influence of ambition and whisky, the confederated Adams are yielding to the blandishments of the serpent.In the wreck of social happiness, in the destruction of a free government, in the chaotic dissolution of all political institutions, in the shame and sorrow, and alarm of intestine broils, in the rule of madness, under the heavy hands of irresponsible dictators, or tossed about by the caprice of insurgent mobs, the amateur revolutionists of the South may find that bitter in the belly which was so sweet in the mouth, and may learn that it is easier to rouse than to quiet the Father of Lies.Have they forgotten that other text : \u201c Because thou hast \u201c done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and \u201c above every beast of the field ; upon thy belly \u201cshalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the \u201c days of thy life 2\u201d Whatever may be the temptation of cotton-, it is hardly probable that foreign nations will fall violently in love with the rattlesnake.They will fear to meet him in every bale ; they will find him printed upon every shirt ; and they will rank the flag upon which he is painted with the black banner of pirates or the threatening devices of Asiatic barbarians.Let the Southern confederates then revise their blazon ! They have a large variety from which to select\u2014lions, leopards, pelicans, unicorns, bears, griffins, dragons\u2014the whole menagerie of heraldry.Wby will they endeavor to introduce such a disagreeable creature as a rattlesnake into tne society of Christian nations ?If they must have him, the King of Dahomey is the foreign potentate for their diplomacy.\u2014New York Tribune.PARISIAN OPINION ON SLAVERY AND STRONG-MINDED WOMEN IN THE UNITED STATES.From the Paris Correspondence of the New York Advertiser.The attention of the journals once directed to the question of slavery, each in turn is giving its opinions on the system.Among the rest, the Opinion Nationale, the organ of Prince Napoleon and Garibaldi, indulges its readers in some curious details, but from what source it draws them we are not informed.Having read, no doubt, that slaves are sometimes whipped with the cat-o\u2019-nine tails, the \u201c slavery man \u201d of the Opinion thereupon declares that in the slave states it is a common practice to strip a refractory negro naked, to lay him down on his face, and then to drag a cat by the tail, down his back, tile claws of the animal inflicting unheard of sufferings on the poor fellow\u2019s skin ! To prevent the animal from turning to bite the executioner, the writer supposes that they are trained to the work ! This is the most liberal translation of the word \u201c eal-o\u2019-nine-tails \u201d we have yet seen.But his description of the punishment inflicted on the slaves does not stop with this exquisite piece of torture; and thereupon he enumerates a long list of tortures which enter fairly into the category of the inquisition, and which were evidently borrowed from some Fox\u2019s Book of Martyrs.But all the writers on American slavery do not show the same ignorance as this one ; the most of them probably look upon it and discuss it as a great political question, independent of the abuses which may occur under the system.That part of Mr.Wade\u2019s speech in which he exclaimed, \u201c What a great and mighty and happy country this might become if we were riel of human slavery ! \u201d has not failed to arrest the attention of the French writers, and like the Ohio senator, they do not understand how a nation could be so blind to its own interests.The French stage has just produced an Americanism of the strongest marked type, in the shape of a comedy at the Vaudeville theatre, entitled Les Femmes Fortes\u2014the strong woman, or rather the Strong-minded Woman, for this is the idea the author intended to convey.In the piece a \u201c Brother Jonathan \u201d is made to carry a six-shooter, a revolving rifle, a bowie knife, and a poekot full of honeydew for ruminating purposes; lie swears in English at tiie end of every sentence, sits (with his hat on) in presence of the ladies, a-straddle of a chair, interlarding his speeches, amatory or declamatory, with profane ejaculation, and terminates the sitting by whittling away the whole back of the gilded chair.The femme forte of the piece is an American governess named Dorothy, who takes infinite pains, not without success, to exaggerate all the exaggerations of that well-known class in Anerica called strong-minded women.The piece is very amusing and well-written, and will probably have a successful run.Young Squire, the American medium, has been in Paris for some time, and is beginning to fill the columns of the journals with his miracles.He is a handsome young man, of pleasing manners, without the cynical haughtiness of Home, and makes an excellent impression wherever he goes.He could make a fortune here, if he was acquainted with the language, and did not pass so many of his hours at the Café de la Regenee over a chess-board, for the French mind is prepared for an excitement on what they call spiritisme.At the Café de la Regenee they are anxiously looking for the return of Paul Morphy, which is soon expected.The Americans in Paris are generally spending as little money as possible, on account of the crisis at home.All the citizens of South Carolina have left, but we have not heard that any citizen of any other state has gone home on account of his citizenship in that particular state.The Atlantic steamship, we learn here, did not make her last trip to Havre, because not a single passenger presented himself at New York.The American papers are read with great avidity, as might be expected, and the only subject of conversation is the disunion movement.But there is an abiding faith in the strength of the Union, and every one seems confident that the good sense and the dignity of the American people will yet triumph over the mad fury of the moment.If it were otherwise every man would be ready to pack up and hasten home to-morrow.A considerable number of American gentlemen and ladies will be presented to the Emperor and Empress at the first grand reception at the Tuileries on the 23rd instant.The cold at Paris and throughout France has been excessive for twenty days, and shows no signs of relaxing.It has also been cold all over he continent, the thermometer reaching in Russia to thirty degrees of the centigrade scale ! AN HOUR IN A PACKING HOUSE.(From the Chicago Times.) Yesterday morning we spent an hoar in the packing house of Messrs.Flint & Stearns, on South Clark-street, near Twelfth.It is not generally understood to how great an extent the pork packing business has entered into the trade and capital of Chicago.There are several of these houses in this city and its environs, employing an immense capital.This being tbe ease, those of our readers who know nothing of the modus operandi by which one packing house can dispose of a thousand hogs in a day, will doubtless be pleased to accompany us in our savory visit.Upon the outside of a large and substantial brick building, the eye discovers a winding track, leading from the hog yard to the upper pun of the building.Up this inclined plane a stream of live hogs are lazily groping their way.arriving at the top they enter the slaughter house\u2014a pen, twelve or fifteen feet square.In this pen stands a man, swinging with his muscular arms a ponderous sledge-hammer.At each blow a hog falls senseless.Two men, armed with long knives, follow him, and finish the work ot Dutehery by severing the arteries of the neck.This done, the poor hog is slid through a trap door into a vat of scalding water, kept constantly at almost boiling heat by steam pipes passing through the bottom.The hog is floated along to the opposite end of the tank, where a pair of tongs (what else shall we call them ?) operated by a lever, picks him up and deposits him upon a long table, upon each side of which is arranged a long row of men (scrapers,) who turn out the bogjat the far end of the table in a state of nudity.There are not far from 25 of these scrapers, not one of whom are idle for a single moment.As soon as the hog emerges from the vat, the one that preceded him is passed to the next scraper, continuing his journey from one end to another as each successive porker follows after.At the end of the table he is suspended upon a revolving crane.A pailful of water, dexterously applied, gives his carcase a sleek and cleanly appearance.Meanwhile .he swings around in front of a savage-looking man, armed with a terrible knife, sleeves rolled up to his shoulders, and besmeared with blood from head to foot.At one sweep of that knife tbe hog is opened and the inwards removed.Another pailful of water prepares the carcase for the cutting block.A truck, having projected arms, is then trundled up to the crane, and by simply raising the hands, the person in charge receives the carcass upon the extreme end of the arms, and it is then easily tiansferred to the hooks, where it is left to cool.This entire operation is so simple and so complete, that not a hand touches his porkship during the operation of being transferred.The hogs are usually allowed to cool off during the night, when they are taken to the cutting block where two men with cleavers proceed to prepare them for salting down.Fourteen blows generally suffice for each hog, when the sgypfa! j parts are thrown into a hopper and passed I through the floor to the next story below, where the packers and sailers put the pork into barrels, and the coopers finish the job by heading them up.After the pork has had time to settle and dry, the brine is poured in from a vat in which it is manufactured.The packing season usually lasts about three months.Since the commencement of the present season, about the middle of November, Messrs.Flint & Stearns have killed and packed about 13,000 hogs.The average net weight of these have been 230 lbs., an increase of 100 lbs.per head upon the average of last year.\u2014 About seventy-five men are employed in this establishment, at from one to three dollars per day.The apparatus for manufacturing lard is the most complete description.Three of Wilson\u2019s patent steam tanks, heated by steam, receive the raw material, and the lard is drawn off into coolers from whence it is barrelled.\u2014 The entire establishment is heated by steam, and lighted with gas when necessary.A person is astonished at the cleanliness of such a slaughter-house.One would naturally suppose that the butchery of 1,000 hogs in a day would deluge the building with offal ; but the truth is in strong contrast with such a supposition.Every appliance which ingenuitycould invent, has been introduced throughout the establishment, so that order and cleanliness are agreeably apparent.Within the building huge stacks of hams and shoulders in the process of curing are observable ; while without, tier after tier, and tier upon tier of barrels of pork, hams, and lard are seen, amounting, in the aggregate, to nearly 10,000.Capacious yards and pens, for the accommodation of hogs, are not wanting upon the premises.Everything is complete throughout\u2014we could suggest no improvement whatever.TRAGEDIES IN CALIFORNIA.[San Francisco (Jan.Isf.) Carres.N.Y.Times.] Samuel T.Newell, a native of Baltimore, came to California eighteen months since, and almost immediately proceeded to Sacramento.He was a printer, and removed to Auburn.In Auburn he made the acquaintance of a young lady who had some property, and a marriage was anticipated.But it appeared that the wife of Horace Smith, an Auburn lawyer, warned the lady that, according to Smith\u2019s statement to her, he already had a wife.The young woman rejected his addresses from that time.Newell, greatly exasperated, bitterly denounced Mrs.Smith\u2014called her infamous names, insulted her grossly, some said, in the presence ot other ladies.But all this was a matter of rumour.What is truly known is, that Mrs.Smith is a sister of Judge Hardy, (who presided at the farce when Judge Terry was acquitted of the murder of Broderick,) and that her husband is Horace Smith, who in 1851 was for a few months Mayor of Sacramento.Newell came to town several da^s since.\u2014 Smith came down on the Monday evening boat, and it is said that his errand was well known.About 11 o\u2019clock of New Year\u2019s Day, Smith met Newell in Sacramento Street, twice hit him with his fiat, and then, as Newell darted into an open clothing store, followed him.Both stumbled and fell.Smith was up first.A witness testifies that he saw him strike twice with a knife.Smith with a stout blow drove his knife up to the hilt in Newell\u2019s back, who lay on the floor.Then withdrawing his knife and wiping it on the lapel of his coat, he replaced it in its sheath, saying \u2014 \u201c That is the way every gentlemen should treat the slanderer ot his wife and child and returning to the front of the store, Judge Hardy took: his arm and tb»y walked off together.The affair was like to have been without a witness.The wounded jmanrolitd heavily under the counter, then staggering to his feet, rushed further up the store.He asked that a friend, whom he named, be sent for ; then died.Five minutes after tne murderer had sheathed his knife, a stout man\u2014weighing not less than 200 pounds \u2014walked in with Judge Hardy and three or four other friends to the Police office, and inquired for Chief Burke.Being told that he was out, the Judge asked for a police officer.Mr.Bovee confesaed himself one.\u201c Mr.Bovee,\u201d said Judge Hardy, \u201c let me introduce you to my friend, Mr.Smith\u2014this is Mr.Lent,\u201d &c., &c.The congratulations of the season were exchanged.Said the Judge, \u201c There has been little difficulty down on the street, and Mr.Smith has out a mau.He would like to give himself up.\u201d A messenger coming in at this moment announced that the man who was out had died.An officer then told Smith that he would have to be locked up.To this he demurred at first, but, seeing there was no other way, he assented and went below.In the cell he surrendered a six-inch bowie knife, still bloody, and an eight-inch six-shooter, all its barrets loaded.At the same hour that this was going on with us, there was a like tragedy being per-foimed in Sacramento.William Tierney has lately returned from Washoe, and discovered as he thought that he could trace his wife\u2019s dishonor to one John H.Cassidy.So, stationing himself at the corner K and Sixth streets, he waited till Tierney and Dr Boyce, an estimable citizen, had come up and passed in company.Then drawing a six barreled revolver he blazed away.The first ball passed through Boj ce\u2019s chest, who staggered and fell iuto the arms of some bystanders.Cassidy, bearing the discharge, bounded off like a dee .Tierney following and firing three times more after him, but each time missing his mark.The doctor was taken to the station house apparen tly dying.He asked that Tierney might be brought to confront him.Tierney was brought in.When he saw that he had shot a man who was quite a stranger to him, he was deeply affected.He called to God to witness that he had no intention of hitting Dr.Boyce, prayed his forgiveness, and that, if the wound proved fatal, he might die in peace.Concerning Cassidy, he expressed regret that he had not killed him.If he had done that he would consent to be hanged.Dr.Boyee was still living last evening, but the chances of his re covery are very slight.ped ctiles wide, intprvemug between the Russian seaboard and thp Japanese insular empire.We do not know that there is anything in this Russian acquisition to renfler the Tycoon of Japan and his Ministers much more apprehensive of Russian power than they were before, for a broad channel must always divide them from the present Russian seaboard, and Russia has never possessed much maritime authority in distant seas.But this distinct definition of the Russian boundary on the side of China proper convinces us of the magnitude of this stride THE RUSSIAN TREATY WITH CHINA.[From the London Post, Jan.18 ] The Russian Government delights to take the European public by surprise, and the Ga zette of St.Petersburg has just furnished a case in point.This is no less than a treaty conclm ded with the Government of China, at Pekin, on the 14th of November last, signed by Prince Knng and General Ignatieff, the Russian Ambassador there, and ratified by the Emperor Alexander on the 1st of January.Thus it dates three weeks later than the Chinese treaties with Great Bri'ain and France, which date from the 24th and 25th of October.The Court of St.Petersburg appears to have bseu resolved that it would not be behind Great Britain and France in obtaining new treaty privileges from China; and while tbe two great maritime Powers proceeded, with world wide notoriety, to enforce the observation of tbe treaty of Tientsin at the head of a considerable expedition, the Russian Government quietly slipped into the pocket of General Ignatieff the terms which it'resolved to obtain at so favorable an opportunity.When the Chinese authorities in Pekin besought the Russian Ambassador to mediate between them and the allied armies advancing on the capital, the shrewd Muscovite no doubt saw at ouce what an excellent, card the Celestials had put into his hand.His Governmen-wouid mediate, but it must be paid for its mediation.The Court of Pekin probably found that beggars must not be choosers, and it was doubtless glad to purchase a mediator of peace at the expense of a new concession to the Russian Government.What the extent of this concession in intrinsic political importance may be it is af this moment too early to determine with absolute precision.The treaty divides itself into two parts, it provides for the reconstruction of the Russian frontier in Eastern Siberia, along the valley of the Amoor, and it defines the trading rights and other privileges of interchange of the Russians in China, and also (for the sake of a nominal reciprocity) of the Chinese in Russia.To deal first with the territorial or frontier question, the Russian boundary is by this treaty extend: d to within eight hundred miles of Pekin.This proposition is clearly established by the first article of the treaty.\u2014 This proposition is clearly established by tbs first article of the treaty.Had the line of the Amoor been recognized as a boundary throughout, the Russian frontier would have been considerably more remote from the Chinese | capital.The river Amoor flows nearly east and west through the vast district known as Mantchuria, between the province ot Irkoutsk, in Eastern Sibsria and the sea of Ochotsk, which washes the Asiatic coast to the northward of the sea of Japan.Previously to the Rusao-Chinese treaty of 1857 the whole district of Mantchuria through which the Amoor flow ed was Chinese territory.But by that treaty Mantchuria to the northward of the Amoor was ceded to Russia, who thereby came into possession of a fresh territory equal to the superficial area of Germany.By the present treaty of the 14th of November, 1869, it is provided that, while the Amoor shall still form the Russo-Chinese boundary, from the Point at which it emerges out of the remote and inland province of Irkoutsk, so far as its confluence with the Ouesouri, about two hundred and fifty miles from the sea, that boundary shall thence take the coarse of the Oussouri, which flows nearly at a right angle with the Amoor, and shapes its course southward in a line parrallal with the sea coast.It follows from this that the Russian boundary includes, as Russian territory all that district between the Oussouri and the sea.The treaty further defines that the frontier shall pursue the course of the Soulgatcha, a river which is a continuation of the Oussouri, as far as the Lake of Hinkai, which it shall bisect, one half of the lake belonging to Russia and the other to China.This lake is within a a hundred miles of the Sea of Japan, on the southern seacoast of Mantchuria, near Victoria Bay ; and commissioners from the two governments are to be appointed to define the remainder of the Russo-Chinese boundary.Between the mouth of the Amoor, on the sea of Ochotsk, and the Bay of Victoria, on the Sea of Japan, there intervenes some seven hundred miles of seaboard now in the possession of Russia.This seaboard lies just opposite the Japanese islands, with the sea of Japan, theregabout three hund- which the Russian emp ire has made in that quarter of the world It is remarkable to perceive the free-trading doctrines which here suddenly receive a practical acceptance from the two most exclusive governments of the world.The fourth article of the present treaty provides that trade shall for the future be maintained along the boundary, thus defined free of all duties.Yet Russia is a government which, not content with maintaining an exhorbitant rate of duties along her enormous frontiers in Europe, has also maintained four or five distinct lines of custom houses between her Polish frontier and Moscow or St.Petersburg.Nor has China been much less illiberal, while she has been far more arrogant.Russian merchants are to possess the privilege of travelling in the Chinese Empire, subject to the reservation that they are not to congregate in a greater number than 200 in the same locality.Either government is to possess the privilege of maintaining Consuls in the commercial cities in the territory of the other.Boards of arbitration are also to be appointed for the settlement of the commercial disputes of Russians trading in China and Chinese trading in Russia ; although it is to be assumed, from the character of the latter people, that they will rarely become domiciled in the Russian territory.Indeed, while a careful reciprocity is in many other instances exhibited in the concessions of the treaty, it bears evidence for the most part of being constructed in the interests of Russian trade.An absolute right of extradition is also bargained for by the Russian authorities whenever any fugitive from justice takes refuge in the Chinese territory.Many other conditions with regard to posts and couriers are also contained in this document.So far as the trading relations of the Russian and Chinese governments are concerned, we shall be glad to witness the introduction of any system which may promote the commercial interchange of their subjects ; although we reserve, fur the moment a decide^ opinion on the bearings of the recent territorial SBttlement made to the advantage of the former State.But an empire which stretches almost as near to Pekin and Jeddo as to Vienna and Berlin, would be formidable enough if it were not so barren and uncivilized.EMANCIPATION IN RUSSIA.The emancipation of the Russian serf's has given rise to various erronious commentaries upon the motives and agencies which have led to this great event.One of the most current fallacies is that this act of justice originated in the disposition and efforts of the Czars to break down and humble the nobles, the aristocracy.This misrepresentation has its source in the writings of ignorant travelers in Russia, and in those of German penny-a-liners.But those who are familiar with the internal organization of the Russian Empire know that there does not exist there a powerful class of officials, a body of bureaucrats separate from the nobility, as is the case in Prussia, Austria, and other European countries.Nobles only are qualified for the military and civil service, and the admixture of non-nobles in both these services is so small as not to be worth mentioning.The bourgeoisie\u2014 the great nursery of bureaucracy all over Europe___is almost wholly excluded from a public career in Russia, while the nobles are compelled to serve under the penalty of forfeiture of their privileges.It is true that some lower grades in the civil and military service are open to those not born in the privileged class, and through them they may reach distinction ; but such cases are comparatively rare, and these parvenues are generally the most tenacious of their newly-acquired privileges and immunities.Of these, the highest and most exclusive is the acquisition of landed estates and serfs, from which right all but the nobility are absolutely excluded.The whole of the civic and military public is therefore in the hands of the nobility ; there is not in Russia a single family, whatever may be its ancestral pride, but its members occupy, or have occupied, some civil or military offices.It is evident, then, that the Czar is not surrounded by any exclusive element which could be used by him as an instrument to crush down the nobility as a caste.The growth of the cause of Emancipation in Russia is identical, in cause and effect, with all such movements of which there is any record in history.Beginning with a few earnest and zealous persons, its principles have finally been adopted by a whole people and put to a practical application.Since the time of the father of Peter the Great, the rulers of Russia have aimed to be progressive, so far, at least, as it did not endanger their absolute power.This Emancipation could not interfere with.The theoretical Emancipationists, therefore, have always had their support, even when, as during the last century they have been in the minority.It is easj' to substantiate this historical view of the progress of Emancipation in Russia by names and details.Among the advisers of Alexander 1.was Strogonoff, whose family, owning more than 89,000 serfs, have been for three generations the unswerving friends of this cause; the Mouravieffs, from the beginning of this century, have been its advocates; the Princes Ual-litzine, the representatives of a numerous and influential family, where the first, under Alexander I., to give freedom to their serfs; and others followed their example.During the reign of Nicholas, who was always its friend, this great reform counted among its advocates.Count Kisseloff, the present Embassador in Paris; the Princes and Counts Wasiltschikoff,.among the most wealthy, influential, and respected nobles of Russia ; Count Scheremetieff, the richest land ower in the world, whose serfs number about 150,000 souls, many of whom are millionaires, many rich manufacturers, and more than two thousand of them merchants in St.Petersburg; Count Panin, one of the haughtiest and proudest of Russian aristocrats, who owns about 25 000 serfs, and whose name will be immortalized as the Minister who is to sign and to carry out the new law of redemption ; the Princes Kotsehou-bey; the Prince Pashkewitsch ; the Gorcha-koffs; Count Bludoff, President of the Academy of Science, and for more than fifty years Vice-President of the Council of the Empire ; and, in short, the nobility generally, whether of higher or lower rank, of larger or smaller means, have almost universally adherred to the party of the Emancipationists.On the other nand, among the opponents of the measure are the celebrated Prince Orloff, and others not less rich and influential.But this opposition for the most part comes from the small owners of serfs, the country squires, and others of the less intelligent portion of the people ; who are best described as answering to the poor and degraded whites of our Southern States.But eveu their opposition is not So much against the principle as against the method of carrying out Emancipation.Few, if any, exist in Russia so low, so degraded, and so brutal as to defend the system of Slavery as such.Even the great robbers and rovers of the steppes of Asia, the Kalmucks and the Bashkirs, have given up the holding and trading in slaves.The fundamental principle on which Emancipation is based recognizes man as free by right, and the law restores him his freedom without any compensation whatever to his former master, except that the law remunerates the proprietor of the land for the homestead it bestows upon the emancipated serf.Young Russia in the universities, and the officers in all the branches of the civil and military service, are almost universally emancipationists.Those who are not of Russian blood are the only exceptions.The officers of the guards in St.Petersbu g belong to the richest and first families of Russia.They give the tone to all saloons, those of the imperial palace included.With the exception perhaps of some of German descent from tne Baltic provinces, all the officers of the guards belong to the anti-slavery party ; those who do not are distinguished by the contemptuous title of gasilschtschik.These leaders of the haut ton in St.Petersburg have shocked the would-be Russians by associating with blacks on terms of perfect equality.The traitors of the South and the worshippers of Slavery in the North must make up their minds to stand alone before the world in upholding a system which is disappearing before the march of civilization and morality in Europe and Asia.When the Southern Confederacy asks for recognition of the nations of the earth, its only sure ally will be the King of Dahomey.Slavery must accept the lot which befalls all the -wrongs from which, one after another, humanity frees herself.It must perish in America as it has perished in Europe, and neither Secession at the South or Compromise at the North can long keep it from itsjjj doom.MAZZtNI ON ITALY AND ITS FUTURE.(To the Editor of the Morning Advertiser.) Sib,\u2014I received the enclosed most impôt tant letter from M.Mazzini yesterday.As it seems to me a lucid exposition of his poliejr and aims, and is calculated to remove a great deal of the misconception which exists in the public mind respecting both, I will thank you to find a place for it in the columns of your journal.I remain, Sir, Fonr obedient servant, T.MASON JONES.Queen\u2019s Hotel, Glasgow, Jan.3, 1860.Burton House, Walham-Grem, Fulham, Dec.31, 1860.My Dear Sir,\u2014The Secretary of the Garibaldi Fund Committee kindly communicated to me yours of the 22nd to him.I feel I must write a few words of sincere thanks for the activity you display in behalf of our national cause ; and I venture to do it to yourself directly, to avoid loss of time.You have been doing much for us and speaking truth fearlessly ; you have accordingly succeeded, showing in England a natural tendency to fair play, which will always in the end win the day for honest truth bravely told.Should you meet with serious objections, I am ready, whilst I am in England to furnish yon with all explanations and facts which you may wish for.Meanwhile, tell your countrymen to mistrust any information reaching them, through the columns of the Times and Daily News, concerning the state of things in Italy ; they are written by men mostly, I regret to say, Italians, who, like Gallenzi, Ariva Bene, and such like, are actuated either by low personal motives, or irritated because they feel tflemaelves despised.Tell them, that whenever they hear ot Red Republican agitation, of anarchy systematically aimed at, of opposition to the Sardinian Monarchy organized by us, they simply hear lies ?And we have facts to oppose.We exerted ourselves prominently for the annexation of Centra! Italy, in opposition to Bonapartist intrigue, we initiated the Sicilian insurrection, without which therewould have been no field open to Garibaldi for the emancipation of the South ; in the name of One Italy and Victor Emmanuel, we sent all our young men to Garibaldi, although he knew him to be pledged to the King.We publish daily our views in the Popolo D\u2019ltalia in Naples, in the Umfit, in the Dirrito at Turin, and any one can, and ought, to judge us by these facts and publications.We want One Italy, free and independent from all foreign masters ; we accepted from the manifested wish of the majority of oar people a constitutional Monarchy, if that Monarchy helps in building up the unity and liberty of our nation.We promised and give to Monarchy a fair trial, reserving merely to ourselves the right of peacefully and legally expressing, once the unity of Italy achieved, our own opinions.Bat we cannotjhave One Italy without Venice ; and we have been officially told by Count Cavour that it would be madness to attack Austria there, because the European Powers do not wish for a second war.We cannot have Une Italy without Rome ; and we have been officially told that it would be madness and ingratitude to attack Louis Napoleon\u2019s policy there.The Sardinian Government have not found, within eleven years, one single word to utter against the occupation ; and they are now opposing through their Press, our petitioning against it.We cannot have One Italy without availing ourselves of all the energies of oar population led by such men as Garibaldi ; and our Volunteers are dissolved, our appeals for a general military organization are systematically checked ; Garibaldi is ungratefully treated, dispossessed of all power, s,nd driven in bitternesa to Caprera.We cannot summon all the energies of our people and put down reaction without proving to the people that the change is beneficial to them and nothing is done towards that ; any suggeatiun of ours is thrown back in distrust ; every attempt at organizing liberty is fought against, and even the singing of Garibaldi\u2019s Hymn is forbidden ; and men known like Nunziante as ready to sell themsMves to the King of Naples, to Victor Emmanuel, to Murat, or Prince Napoleon, are placed again at the head of regular divisions.We want to emancipate ourselves from the overwhelming influence of Louis Napoleon.\u2014 We know his past intrigues in Southern Italy, his present intrigues in Southern Italy, his decided opposition to Italian unity, his dreams of a confederation with the Pope\u2014whom be holds under subjection\u2014as honorary President; his longing towards turning the Mediterranean into a French lake ; his interference, now strengthened and widened in Rome ; his interference at Gaeta, his theory of territorial compensations, his usurpation of Nice and Savoy, his actual active propagandism in Sardinia, his attempts to do the same in the Genoese Riviera, his compact with Cavour at Plombières, his more recent secret compact with him at Aix, in Savoy\u2014and we know that Cavour has not protested against the Gaeta interference, and that he is paving the way to the Napoleonic schemes by trying to have him again in Italy as an ally in the future unavoidable Ve-netia war.We want to Italianise Piedmont, to have a national compact harmonising the right, wants, and interests of all the Italian provinces ; and Cavour wants to annex Italy to Piedmont, to give to Italy Piedmontese laws and a compact which was, for the sake of avoiding insurrection, granted twelve years ago, after twelve hours\u2019 deliberation, to the Piedmontese population by Charles Albert.These, only these, are our grounds of dissent from Cavour, and it is astonishing to me how they can be misinterpreted or abused as anarchical in England.Are yon not free?are you not wanting us to be so ?are you not an tagonistic as much as we are to Bonapartist usurpations ?Of course anything you will do towards helping Garibaldi\u2014when fighting for Venice or Rome\u2014with arms and money has my complete assent and warm support.England has helped the emancipation of the South ; I do not see why she should not do the same for Venice and Rome.The dissolving of the Garibaldi Fund Committees seem to me inconsistent and illogical.But you ought at the same time not to neglect another agitation\u2014the agitation we are now initiating in Italy for the withdrawal of the French troops from Rome.This ia the vital point for us.Rome is now tbe focus of all our reactionary intrigues, and it is a base of operations for Louis Napoleon towards the South, whilst his keeping Rome in his hands suppresses any possibility of unity for our country.It is, 1 think, high time for England to see that the promises given in 1849 of speedy withdrawal are at least realized ; that the non-interference principle shall be not an empty word, but a fact, Could you suggest that petitions should be raised for that object to your Parliament and Government ?Forgive this lengthy epistle, written currente calamo, and believe me, My dear Sir, fiver yours gratefully, JOSEPH MAZZINI.Mason Jones, Esq.Hesrauî*.(Reported for the Montreal Herald.) 8Y MONTREAL LINE.Office, fit.Sacrament Street.nsKfuirars utr?Er'C'ûUt sus ©omtsiercc.DAILY REPORT OF THE MONTREAL PRODUCE MARKET.Montreal, February 5, 1861.Flour.\u2014Double Extra, $6.50 ® 7.00;
