Tut news brought by each succeeding mail only aggravates the deplorable condition o f Mexico ; and, In truth, the republic s eems fast approaching the Mate which, according to M. Pm:natant; is the Arcady of Nations--that of being without any government at all. The Federalism has had its half decade of longevity without consoli dating the separate states into one homogeneous combination, abating the resentments of parties, or rendering law and obedience superior to insubordi nation and an appeal to arms. The tenure of Aatses's power seems, however, nearly run out ; he has neither money nor credit, authority . nor force, resolution nor capacity to arrest either Lis own downfall, or that of his cause. He lately repressed the liberty of the press ; but he has not the ability to check the pro gress of disorder and military insurrection ; he has Galled together a Congress which, in the midst of a revolutionary emergency, has weakened the power of the government by impeaching one Minister and compelling another to resign. On the other had, the Unitarian or Central party, instigated, no doubt, by their old leader, SANTA ANNA, from his exile in Cubs, has fairly risen in the provinces against the Federal Constitution. On the Atlantic, the State of Vera Cruz has long been in a chronic condition of insurrection which renders it almost impassable. At the moment when the Central Government wee about to use such forces as it could command for its pecification, Mazat lan, in the Pacific, rose against its authority, and drew thither all its disposable military strength. From Mazatlan, which is in the State of Sonora, insurrec tions spread to the adjoining State of Gads:Amer° ; thence, overleaping Potosi, it broke out in Tamauli pas, which adjoins the province of Vera Cruz, on the opposite cast ; sod it is now extending itself to the states of Guanazuto and Queretaro ' which com press in and command Mexico itself. Thus, as our readers will see by . glancing at the map, the whole line of Atlantic coast from the Rio Bravo del Norte to what is known as the route of Tehuan tepec, and the Pacific shore, from the head of the . Gulf of California nearly to the state of Mexioo itself, are, more or lees, in arms against the present government and the present constitution of the republic. Nor is this a purposeless movement. Its aim is the restoration of the system and the power of SANTA ANNA. The revolutionists of Guadalaxero have al ready called on that chief to return; Gen.,Uaeoe, who has now placed himself at their head, and commands a force in that State superior to any the Government OM send against him, is a partisan of Same ANNA; and the insurgents have summoned an extraordinary Congress, to be composed of two deputies from each state, to elect a President, ail interim, and to pre eeed to the reformation of the present constitution. With scarcely strength to maintain themselves in the capital, and without the support and hearty co operation of any single state, it is scarcely within the limits of possibility that the Federal Govern ment and federal institutions of Mexico can long withstand such a combination. And yet how hopeless appears any change of government, of constitution, or of authority in Mexico. Since the federal system was first inaugu rated in 1824 it has been overthrown and restored, abolished and revived, until it is a matter of per plexity to know what form of government is pre dominant in Mexico. But whether Federalism or Unitarianism has prevailed; whether BUSTAMENTF, SANTA ANNA, or AJUSTA have been in power—the course of Mexico has been uniformly downward. The republic has lost territory after territory ; pro-1 Irina after province has proclaimed its independence ; the native aborigines have gone back in the career of civilisation; the red Indians have ravaged even the great central plateau on which stands the city of Mexico; revenue and commerce have fallen off; debt and expenditure gone on in creasing; until now Mexico tam a state of diseolu . tion as a nation. Military chiefs may plague it by insurrection, and the populace, demoralised by the church and the army, may be used for political pur poses; but to the wealth, the intelligence, and the virtue of Mexico, the eentinuanee of such nationality as has for the last twenty years afflicted them, is not desirable. They sigh for order, tranquillity, law, and industry, and these they cannot hod amongst the sanguinary quarrels of Federalists and Cen tralists. • The difficulty of any solution of the Mexican tion is very great. Placed midway between the occidental and onentalworlds separating the Atlantic and Pacific oceans—occupying the position of another Egypt—it is, however, for the interests of man kind that the two shores, or at least the narrower and more passable poeticise, should be under the • rule and authority of the same government, other wise the obstacles to transit will be increased. To ' the people of the great valley at the Mississippi, now ' inseparably connected with the wealth of the Pacific, a rent* acme Mexico must always De's obis* of paramount importance ; and it is trot thesellent tolse wondered at that the Ameri o Goveriamat pay such undeviating atten- ties to the nate that might so cosily be formed mucus wan & Tehuantepec.

Oa these statements, Yehkh . not DitiOr.si solid foundation, although tinged with the era ggeration of the reporters, there come sugges tions that " legislation in favour of the working classes has gone far enough." "That all beer shops must bo put down, and agricultural wages kept down." "That the Government has done ill not to take possession of the gold fields with an armed force and let them 'o great companies for the benefit of the State." We need not discuss what is utterly im practicable. While gold is to be had for digging, hard-handed men will earn the best share and spend it as they please according to their tastes and capabilities. While manufacture and commerce flourish in England wages will continue high; and as drunkenness is popular with a certain class or workmen, a large share o f i m p roved wages will go in beer. The time has for sumptuary laws, or laws to protect capital against labour; but the time has also come when we must, in sober serious earnestness, inquire how long we shall permit selfish apathy and sectarian jealousy to impede the founda tion of a national rational system of education, which is the only protection against the excesses incident to the excitement of prosperity. It is the legisla tors, and makers of legislators, in Great Brits* who are answerable for the wasteful fol lies of the Australian gold diggers. It is the manufacturers and - landed proprietors et Warwickshire and Staffordshire who are aommist able for the days lost, the money squand the health exhausted, by the mechanics of Bi and the miners and iron-workers around Birm* These masses in England and Australia have bees from their birth neglected. Utterly uneducated, or, at the most, with the bare rudiments, " the knife and fork " of education, it is not wonderful that many of them should have no tastes beyond sensual enjoy ments, no ambition beyond the accumulation of wealth. Take away art, science, and literature, take away all the activity of thought, the occupation of mind, which art permeates through society, take away those active anxious pursuits which sharpen the intellect of the savage, make the means of existence easy, and what lower kind of savage can that man become whose only recreations and indulgencies are animal. In this country the influence of example, the influence of that education which is acquired in society, with out schools or books, has had, and is working with the happiest effects. Mach has been done, in our towns especially, a wonderful improvement has taken place in the character and tastes of the work ing classes, in spite of the unmerited neglect they have endured. But much remains to be done, and it should be done at once. A double tide of emigration is now flowing from the rural districts to the manufacturing towns, from the towns to our Australian colonies. The miserable incompleteness of the education of both sexes in rural districts is something shameful to us as a nation, and yet these are the recruits on whom we must depend to fill up the armies of industry needed by our increasing manufactures. In Australia there is no highly educated class to give an example, to diffuse information among those who live by hand labour. Wealth is the chief distinction; and if we do not take heed, we shall pour on the shores of those rising dependencies a succession of uneducated names, whom prosperity, uncorrected by . education, will render little less brutal than the aborigines they Let us take a lesson from the wise fore- Z li Tths founders of New England, who did not less a ray before establishing that system of educa tion tslatsh has protected the United States from losing swamped by the offspring of the ignorant mil lions who Inn landed on her shores from England and Inked goring the last quarter of a centurl. Let those who have no regard for the destinies of our Australian empire weigh well the effects of the drain which emigration is making on our own labour market, and ask themselves whether we can afford, with the prospects of a dearth of men before us, to permit a large section of our population to live in crowded dwellings, in thatched cottages or city courts, daily imbib ing during their tenderest years the seeds of disease and crime. Can we afford to build jails at the eost of millions, and grudge thousands to schools? 001 we afford to multiply gin palaces, and not seek to extend the number of halls and gardens for nude based amusement? The fault is not more with Go vernment than with ourselves. The intolerance et proselytism combines with the apathy of indifinem limp, impede every step toward extending educe den Weed the merest-rudiments. What a contrast between the fervid, rabid intolerance which shouts lawn the first attempt on a grand scale to educate ei sr masses to better Sunda recreations than and gin, and the ea with which Ash, comfortable men, who pride themselves on their Witianity, permit thousands upon thousands to grow up in sin, and ignorance, and vagaboodage. It is so much easier to abase and despise than to pity and to teach.

Some favourable rumours at the opening of the Bourse to-day tended considerably to restore public) imafidence. The Three per Cent. 'tenth, which opened this morning at 79f. 65e., gradually advanced until they had reached 80f. 25c. for the account, at which quo tation they stood at the close of business. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents., also, partook of the im provement, leaving off at 105 francs, being 30c. higher than the closing figure of yesterday. Bank Stock still imiains nominally at 2,820 franca ; althongh, trim what we have to state below, the of say of these prices must be regarded with emit BKeee of faith as the persons most con versant with ch monetary matters may place upon the hake laid before them daily. The Meister of the Interior, acknowledging the insidlielamey tithe electric telegraph service, has ap pointed soaps of the students at the Polytechnic School to seat in the viol of messages transmitted to and through France. The military service at the Eiji& during the last four days has been performed there exactly accord. ing to the style enforced there by the first Napoleon. An imperial decree, dated yesterday (Jan. 26), in this morning's Mosailemr, convokes the Senate and Corps Legialatif on the 14th Feb. Another decree of the same date appoints M. Messard first Vice- President of Senate, and MM. Drouhyn de rhluys, General Baragaey d'liilliers, and General Ragusa de Saint-Jean-d'Anply, Vice-Presidents for the cur rent year. For odious of the Corps Legialatif, Y. Billault is appointed president, MM. Schneider and Revell vimpsesidents, and Generals Vast, Vimeux, and Hebert, questa,. 131 another imperial decree, dated yesterday, the Emperor hem appointed the following household for her Majesty the Empress :—The Princess d'Essling, Chief Lady ; the Duchess de Basses% Lady of Honour. WWI of the Palace : The Countess Gus tave de Montebello, Madame Fem., the Viscountess Leray-Marnesia, the Baroness de Pierre*, the Baroness de Malaret, and the Marchioness de las Marisa:as. The senator, Count Teacher de la Pa ger* is appointed Lord Steward; his relative, Count Charles, First Chamberlain; Viscount Lezay-Mar nestle, Grand Chamberlain ; and the Baron de Pierre*, Equerry to her Majesty. Baron Talleyrand having presented to the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar his new credentials from the Emperor Napoleon, the Grand Duke said he hoped that Providence would continue to protect his Imperial Majesty in the accomplishment of the great work for which he had been preserved. M. Auber has been appointed musical director and chapel master to the Emperor, thus uniting ia him self the functions which were divided between Lemur and Pair. BOIY meet for the despatch of b;siness in February, although, if I remember rightly, a later day in the month was spoken oL The approaching marriage continues to be the only subject of interest, and, apart from unexpected accidents, politics may be considered adjourned till after Sunday next. Yesterday afternoon Mdlle. de Montijo visited several shops in the Rue Vivienne to make purchases. She was recognised by the passers by, and of course well received. A pretty woman about to be the heroine of a grand fete necessarily commands the sympathies of Parisians. She may be quite certain that the opponents of the present government will not exhibit any hostile feeling to her per sonally. On the contrary, while the Bona partists are tormented with misgivings, their adversaries are delighted at a match in which they see evidence of unsuspected weakness in the Emperor's character, and a broad line of de marcation, isolating him from the royal families of Europe. A loyal and affectionate people might lament an event calculated to lower the dignity of their monarch. But the Empire is suffered, not loved, in Paris, and a check to its pride inspires far other feelings. A series of fêtes will commence on Saturday next, but the details of them are not yet finally settled. After the celebration of the civil marriage there will be a soiree at the Tuileries, to which about a thousand guests have been invited. M. Mery, whose zeal entitles him to the appellation of imperial poet laureate—an office not I believe formally existing—has composed an epithalanium to be sung to music, also composed for the occasion by M. Auber. An orchestra of fifty of the most eminent performers of the capital, and the choruses of the Conservatory will contribute to the éclat of this performance. It is rumoured that the theatres will be opened gratis. M. Auber has composed a grand mass to be executed on Sunday at Notre Dame. The great composer went yesterday evening to the cathedral to center with the architects upon the arrangement of the orchestra. Five hundred artists, selected from the Opera, the Opera Comique, and the Italian Opera, besides the society of the Conservatory Concerts, will take part in this mass. The most brilliant anticipations of success are entertained, and will doubtless not be disappointed. The imperial equerries are employed in selecting eight cream-coloured horses to draw the nuptial equipage. The crown diamonds, which were deposited in the Treasury, have just been handed over by the Minister of Finance to IH.Achille Fould, as Minister of State. A pair of magnificent pen dants, valued at 150,000 fr., were the only crown jewels that disappeared in the revolution of 1848 ; but these were afterwards restored to M. Ledru Rollin in the presence of Louis Philippe's jeweller, M. Bapt, who identified them. M. Bapt was, I believe, asked to be a witness to the present transfer of the precious gems, but he declined, and M. Moiance, the lapidary, attended in his place. Mdlle. do Montijo will wear the pendants at the wedding. It is yet a great ques tion whether her head-dress will be composed of flow ers or diamonds. It is contended by many that as she will be already Empress when she appears at Notre Dame, it would be proper for her to wear dia monds in the cathedral. The virgin orange flowers at the altar, are, however, suite de rigeur, according to Parisian custom, and it is considered a privilege to wear them. I cannot think this privilege will be waived, and I believe that the flower faction will carry the day. In furtherance of this view I must mention a report that the coiffure has been thrown open to the competition of six of the most distinguished fleuristes of Paris, and that the prize will be consci entiously adjudged according to merit by a commit tee of ladies. The Archbishop of Paris went yester day to the Elysee to pay a visit to the imperial bride elect. The Odeon Theatre is, it is said, to be called the Theatre de l'lmperatrice immediately after the =T rull.; reported that the Spanish frigate Don Fran cisco d'Assis, just arrived at Havre is commissioned to receive a sum of 12,000,000 fr., lent to the Spanish government by the house of Rothschild. On enter ing the port she gave a salute of 21 guns. Two guns were taken down to the jetty to return the salute, and the Spanish flag was at the same time hoisted on the tower of Francis L A line of electric telegraph is now being esta blished between Boulogne and Calais. PARIS, TIMIDLY BYBAINCI. The decorations of the cathedral of Notre-Dame for the marriage of the Emperor and Madlle. de Montijo, are proceeding rapidly under the direction of MM. Vioilet-Leduo and Leases the architects charged with the repairs of the church. The high altar, as already stated, is to be removed to the entrance of the choir, and behind it will be a gallery with ogives. A vast canopy in crimson velvet, sur mounted by a gigantic eagle bearing an imperial crown, will be placed above it, and will be made to extend over the places to be occupied by their Majesties. From the crown velvet draperies will extend to the pillars of the choir. The choir will not be occupied, it having been determined to place the orchestra, which will be 600 strong, near the organ. In the branches of the Latin cross will be woodwork similar to that of the gallery at the entrance of the choir, and there will also be re omen, painted skyblue, in which will be placed on one side statues of the kings of Francs, on the other the archbishops of the diocese of Paris. The pillars of the choir and the nave will be decorated with green velvet ornamented with golden bees, and with the initials and armed their Ksjeaties. The coat of lams of the house of Montijo has 23 quartering., and is ornamented with a cross with Constantine's motto, Its hoe vireo times. Flags bearing the arms and , colours of the departments of Franca will be sus pended in the choir; and the roofs, both of the choir and the nave, will be decked with banners and streamers of all colours so as to hide the nudity of the stone. Estrada. wil l be erected in the cross to the right of the altar for the senate and diplo matic body, to the left for the legislative body and the Council of State. Estradea will also be placed on each side of the nave for the judges, the staffs of the army, and the principal public function aries. The middle of the nave will be left free for the passage of their Majesties and their households; aqd they alone will enter by the great door. The galleries looking on the nave and choir will be occu pied, and a portion of them will be specially set apart for the ladies of the court. The facade of the cathe dral will be decorated with banners and escutcheons bearing the arms of the towns of France, with flags of all colours, with green draperies strewed with golden bees, and with wreaths of flowers. In front of the great door will be a vast portico, in which the carriage of the Emperor can enter. This portico will be in the gothic style, and will be elegantly decked with draperies; and similar porticos will be placed in front of the other doors. From the arcades of the porticos will be suspended escutcheons bearing the initials L. (Louis) and E. (Eugenie). Above the por ticos will be equestrian statues of the Emperor Charlemagne and the Emperor Napoleon!. In what is called the "Cialetie des Eels," statues, similar to those destroyed sixty years ago, will be placed in the niches. The ba lustrade of the "Galerie de la Vi4rge" will be decorated with gilt eagles, escutcheons and crowns united by wreaths of flowers. In front of the great window will be a group representing the Virgin and two angels offering incense. The upper gallery will be decorated with draperies of green and gold, and the arcades in it with escutcheons, eagles, and flowers. The towers will be ornamented in the alba sloe wily, and will be surmounted by sixteen gigan- tit 1144 bee lately gone the round of the salons bide Mist that the venerable Marchioness de la a u kanseghi had publicly blamed her son for hay ing adiviei to the Emperor's government, and that dionioa to the Marquis de Pastoret having done the wee, she said, " Pastoret at least waited till his Esther was dead."

The hydrographleal portion is of great hsportsace, as seamen have hitherto had to sail by the chart of La Perouse, and by those laid down on the data furnished by Broughton at the end of the last century. The Capeicieuse has surveyed trigonoinztrically the eastern coast of the Cores and of Chinese Tartar, for an extent of 130 leagues. It results, from the information given in this report, that seamen, who dread at present the stormsea of Japan, on account of the inhospitality of i t s inha bitants, will henceforward find safe anchorage, and every facility to effect repairs, in the Gulf of Anvil'', on the coast of Tartary, situated nearly on the same parallel (42 deg.) as the Strait of Matinenk from which it is only 130 leagues distant. Al the country, in general but little wooded, does ncP PI X any great resources, at least a cordial reception may be reckoned on from the Tartar tribes, who come in ,the film season to encamp on this coast to feed their herds of oxen and fish for seals. Whales are to be frequently sees in these latitudes. The Capricious' tell in with several, both on the coast of Tartary and on that of the Cores. The accounts given by the old missionaries agree in declaring that at the approach of winter, the whales, driven away by the he of the Polar Sea from Behring's Strait and the Sea of Okhotsk, proeeed to the southern part of the Japer• eta Sea. The whalers, not venturing to pursue them during the bad season into theta inhospitable latitudes, have been accustomed to pass their winter, doing nothing, the Sandwich Islands, flu Marianne Islands,i er the Caroline'. There is reason to imagine that our whalers, after having exhausted the fishing seas= in Behring's Strait and the Ike of Okhotsk, would find a great advantage in falling back es the south, and continuing their fishing in the ses whisk the Capricieuse passed through. The mouths of Ostebse, November, and part of December, could be pealiably em ployed in that quarter, whilst waiting he die severe weather to force them to take up their winter quarters. The bay of Young-Kinq, on the coast ot the Cores, and the Gulf of Anville on that of Tottery, appear perfectly well situptsii for such stations, where the whalers, after having placed their vessels in perfect safety, could continue their fishing fal these bays with boats. The coasts, although not well sup plied, would still afford sufficient resources to afford benefit to the crews. The Capricieuse entered the Pacific Ocean on Aug. 22, and set sail for Guam, where she arrived on Sept. 12. On Oct. 18, after having devoted some time to repairs and to the repose of the crew, she left the port of Apra fur Manilla, where she arrived on Nov. 6. This long voyage from Japan to the Philippines, in seas but little known, and in the midst of hazy weather, which prevailed almost inces easily, was marked by no other incident to the vessel than a violent hurricane, which came on at about 100 leagues to the east of the Bisbee Islands. The Team', however, suf fered no damage, and it may be said that the cruise of the Capricieuse, for the purpose of favouring the progress of eammente, navigation, and hydrographical information, has bus asseregibbsd with perfect success.

The Finance Minister is said to be busied with various schemes which are to be presented to the new Cortes. Among others, a project is spoken of concerning the coupons, which Bravo Murillo left out of his well-known arrange ment of the debt. The Clamor Publico, the Diario Espanol, the Nation, and the Esperanto were again seized on the 20th. ITALY . PIEDMONT. After a discussion which lasted four days . , the senate of Piedmont adopted on the 22 nd the bill for suppressing the slave trade; and it now only remains to vote on the ensemble of the law. The bill (says the Parlamento) has long been a necessity. An edict issued by Victor Emanuel Jan. 17, 1818, forbade to Sardinian citizens all participation in the slave trade under pain of an exemplary . punishment. A law made in 1827 forbade captains of vessels to carry slaves, unless to deliver them, and made offenders liable to 15 years at the galleys and a fine of 24,000 livres. These were the only laws on the subject when in 1833 France and England signed a conven tion for the suppression of the trade—a treaty . to which our government adhered in the following year. But after this there was still wanting a regu lar measure by which should be determined the nature and punishment of offences, and also the tri bunals before which the latter should be tried. By the bill now before the legislature the cognition of ' these causes will belong to the Courts of Appeal, and no longer to the Admiralty. This arrangement is wise, because it re-establishes the judicial authority I in its rights. BOMAN STATES. Our Roman correspondent, writing on the 20th instant, gives the details of the plan for withdraw ing the paper money submitted by the financial council to the Pope. Propositions for selling the Duchy of Beneventum had been negatived in a con gregation of cardinals. The Pope talked of visiting Vienna as well as Paris. GERMANY. The Augsburg Evening Gazette states that the customs negotiations carried on at Berlin between MM. Bruck and Pornmer-Bsche on behalf of Austria and Prussia will shortly terminate. The Darmstadt coalition (says the same authority) now plays a merely observant part, but will protect the interests of its states at the derisive moment. If the coalition go vernments cannot defend their supposed peculiar interests now, will they be better able to do so when the two great powers of the confederation shall have agreed P The speech by which Louis Napoleon announced his intended • to the great bodies of the state was instantl y yraphed in Griellio to Berlin, Vienna, and the other continental capitals. It was received at Berlin at half-past 6, and published in the next number of the Prussian lifoniteur.

The severe measures which the government of Baden has instituted against Ciervinuis " Introduc tion to the History of the Nineteenth Century " have so heightened publ►c interest in the book that a new edition has already become necessary. MONTENEGRO. We find the following in the Vienna Garet& of the 22nd; it is given as a telegraphic despatch, and dated the previous day from Trieste :—On the 12th the Turkish troops forced their way into the Nahias (districts) of Reiska and Cernizta. It appears that some decisive operation took place on the 15th, but the tepee forwarded to the Tried Zeitung vary. 853. 'According to one of - them, Grahove had been taken hy storm, and Cettinje, the capital of Montenegro, was menaced. The regular correspondent of the Vint Zei:esssis says, on the other hand On the 15th i the powerful Turkish army attacked the Monte negrins, but were repulsed. On the Fith the attack was to hive been renewed, but with what success is still unknown. The districts of Lnbine, Kulsasia, Zupanis, Ikka, Luba', and Kruselvice, in the Herze gowina, have declared for the Montenegrins. Jacob Viyatichi the•Volvede of Grahoro, replied to Omar Pacha's commands to prepare quarters for Turkish troops by making an inroad into the district of Ban jean at tho head of a thousand men." Thus for the Vienna and Trieste Gazettes. There seems no reason to doubt that a battle was fought on the 15th, and private intelligence from Vienna leads us to expect news of a battle fou ght on the 16th in the north-east of Montenegro. The report of a revolt in the six southern districts of Herzegowina is rendered improbable by the fact that the Moslems are resident there in great force. It was rumoured in Vienna on the 22nd that the Ban Jellaehich, at the head of eight battalions and artillery in proportion, had crossed the Turkish frontier, near Cattaro. The Ban is just the man to attempt an unlawful enterprise, relying for justifica tion upon his success ; but the report is in all proba bility premature. The ministerial Correspondenz contains a private letter on the affairs of Montenegro, dated Cattaro, Jan. 16. The writer states that on the 11th, four large war steamers belonging to the Turkish block ading squadron were seen off tho. Albanian coast, opposite the bay of Antivari. The day before, an English steam-frigate cast anchor at the mouth of the river Bojan, and remained there some hours, while the: commander had a conference with the Pasha of Scutari. When this was over, the frigate returned to Corfu. According to this writer, Monte negro will be surrounded by a Turkish army of 30,000 men, and a concentrated attack made at seve ral different points. The border communes of Ban ni, Piva, Zopa, and I ) robjnak, situated in the north, beblonging to the Herzegowina, that were in the first instance inclined to take part with the Montenegrins, have declared for the Porte. The commune of Gra howo, with its Woivod Joker, alone stands faithful to the cause of the Montenegrins, but as the latter are in no condition to assist them against the Turks, the people are greatly discouraged. The Monte negrine districts of Piperi, Moraine, Kulski, and a part of Biclopalewich, are almost on the verge of declaring for Turkey, having been visited by the emissaries of that power. Great consternation prevailed amongst the Montenegrins generally. I Polish and Hungarian officers are said to be at the head of Turkish divisions, sufficiently experienced in war to conduct the troops of the Porte, and unscru pulous enough to fight against Christians. Ferik Dacha (says the writer) impudently exclaimed, " Gra howo belongs as little to the Montenegrins as Krt. Tanis does to the Austrians." However that may be (the writer continues), there can be only one opinion as to the duty of Austria to guard the sacred inviolability of :her territory; and the sanguinary struggle now approaching cannot be viewed with in difference by Austria. The frontier relations with Montenegro have long been on a good footing, and the Austrian borders respected by the inhabitants of Montenegro, which is far from being the case with the Bosnian'', whose Turkish population, some six years ago, made exactions of a nature that the Ban of Croatia was obliged to undertake a razzia for their punishment. RUSSIA. --- ----- Field-Marshal Paskiewitch arrived at St. Peters burg from Warsaw on the 11th. THE UNITED STATES. We yesterday gave a telegraphic summary of news received by the Asia, to which we add the following : LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The San Francisco Herald says that, owing to the sudden rise of the rivers, caused by the present rains upon the snow in the mountains, all the bottom lands have been overflowed; and as the bottoms have been the principal grazing spots for stock, it is presumed large numbers have been lost. We have heard of some 30 or 40 head of mules in the immediate vicinity of Marysville that perished before they could be driven out. Those herding animals should, on oc casions like the present, have them driven to high ground without waiting until the last moment. It is a moat singular fact that the northern mines have never been worked with the tame energy and industry as those in the southern part of the state. A gentleman writing to us from Rush Creek, on the headwaters of the North Feather River, says that that part of the country, although having been dis covered for more than two years, has not as yet un dergone thorough prospecting; and that places which have been run over by thousands of prospectors are nowpaying to the working miner first-rate w ages in all that section of country. Spanish Ranch, American Valley, Rush Creek, and the head waters of the North Fork of Feather River are yielding largely. There are occasionally strikes made, but as a general thing 8 dole. to 12 dole. per day is made. From the Placer Herald we learn that at the new diggings recently struck near Yankee Jim's they have taken out as high as 13 dole. to a bucket of earth. This is certainly a good yield, and there are other claims that promise a good prospect. The lams informant gives ns the intelligence of a new strike at Volcano Slide, on the Middle Fork of the American one half-mile below Sandy Bar, and about three miles from Yankee Jim's, where dirt has been taken out that will pay from 1 dol. to 100 dole. to the bucket. This sounds like a big yield, but the report is said to be correct. We have seen this week a beautiful lot of gold dug in Todd's Valley a short time since. Prospects have been made in the valley which promise well to the enterprising miners. The gold is coarse and pure. Gold diggings have been discovered near Spring Garden; the miners are said to be doing well. OREGON. We have dates from Oregon to the 4th alt., which is three weeks later than previously received. The Legislative Assembly of the territory of Ore gon was to commence its annual session at Salem, the prement seat of government. Dec. 15. The flags upon the liberty-poles, shipping, &c., were displayed at half-mast, and thirty-one minute guns were fired in Portland on the receipt of the news of the death of Mr. Webster. The immigrants, it iv said, are all, or nearly all, at the Dalles, and have entered the valley. A letter from Mr. William B. Affieck, who went out with theYamhiU County relief expedition, gives the fullest information concerning the immigrants that we have lately found. The whole number who have entered Oregon the present year, he places at 10,000. Those who have come in this year, for the most part, are men who have brought their families, and intend to become permanent citizens. Their ideas seem to be correctly formed, for the most part, as to what course will insure to them success and permanent happi ness. Claims are sought for, thousands of heads of cattle and horses have come through to stock them, and the hardy pioneer of the west is searching out his location in Oregon, in favoured spots, where fancy and interest combined may attract his attention. Dates to the Ist of December have been received from Lake Superior. At Ontonagon the river was , closed with ice, and the snow two feet deep. The accounts from the mines are favourable, though the miners are somewhat disheartened by the failure to get their copper shipped last fall. Over 1,000 tons remain behind, a heavy item at the present high price of copper. The Ontonagon River was low last fall, which made it difficult to ship from the mines to the lake. The plank road now constructing from Ontonagon to the mines will obviate the difficulty hereafter. A letter from Portage Lake states that a shaft sunk on the most southerly ancient pit to the depth of 72 feet, in the rock the vein has been not less than five feet wide, and has carried copper the entire depth. One mass taken out estimated to weigh over 1,500 pounds. Some 15 tons of copper have been taken out, and the prongs of another mass are in sight be neath where the last one was taken. RIOT AT HONOLULU. We have intelligence from the Sandwich Islands to the 21st November, two weeks later. Great excitement was manifested at Honolulu on the 10th November, occasioned by the fact that a man named Henry Burns, a seaman, who had been arrested and confined in the fort, was found dead, with marks of violence upon him. A coroner's inquest was held, and the jury rendered a verdict that the deceased came to his death by a blow in flicted with a club in the hands of constable George Sherman. Before the verdict was rendered, Sher man was arrested and placed in close confinement. The deceased was buried at Nunanu Valle}, and his funeral was attended by a large concourse of people. Upon the return of the procession, great excitement prevailed in Honolulu, and crowds of from four. to five hundred were harangued awl urged to commit acts of outrage upon the fort and inflict summary punish•. ment on Sherman. Mr. E. H. Allen, the United States Consul, and Mr. Severance, the United States Commissioner, addressed the crowd, and used every argument to induce them to return to their boarding-houses and ships. This they partially obeyed. Previous to this, however, a small party had rescued a man who had been arrested, and put in the station-house, near the custom-house. A skirmish had taken place, and one person was slightly wounded. To this point the crowd now rushed, and commenced with axes, clubs, and other implements, to demolish the building. After breaking up most of the lower part fire was set to it, and it was entirely destroyed, together with two small build ings used as butcher's shops. The building de stroyed was a new three-story house, occupied by the harbour-master, pilot (Alice, police station, and water reservoir on the lower floor. Four hundred soldiers were under arms in the fort during the night, but from forbearance on the part of the governor they were not ordered to suppress the riot. A meeting of the resident ship-masters was held next morning, to suggest measures for quelling the mob. The governor attended ; martial law was proclaimed, and arms furnished to a com pany of volunteers. Mr. A. J. MDatlic was unani mously elected captain, and Messrs. APFarland, Howe, Wood, and Thorp, lieutenants. The com pany of foreigners met at the fort at 3 p.m. for drill, when the governor appeared with 300 native sol diers and the police, who were also armed. While these preparations were making, word was brought that a sailor with a crow-bur was endea• vourin to force open one of the water reservoirs, with t he design of doing some damage to the pipes. Orders were immediately given by the marshal to the sheriff to arrest him ; which was done by that officer and two policemen, and the prisoner lodged in the fort. The governor now gave orders to the natives outside the fort, who were unarmed, to clear the streets of the mob, and to arrest such as made resistance. With a shout and a rush the multitude now dispersed in execution of this order, and in the course of two hours the streets were all cleared, and some forty or fifty rioters were lodged in the fort. Some hard fighting took place in King-street, about the junction of Nunanu, and some *minds with clubs and stones were given and received on both sides. But the streets were cleared without resort to fire arms, and with many less evil consequences than would have attended their use. The streets of Honolulu were perfectly quiet duririg the evening and night ; and, although the soldiers remained under arms, they were not required during the night, nor did the least breach of the peace occur. The newly-organised corps of foreigners, numbering about 200, divided into four companies, marched through the streets, visited the sailor boarding-houses, and made a few arrests of those who had neither a pass nor discharge. A cavalry company also rode through the town, but found nothing to da, the town being perfectly quiet. The safe of the harbour-master was broken open, money stolen, and the books destroyed. All is now quiet, and a volunteer company of foreigners has been permanently organised. The rioters arrested will be tried in the January term. The foreigners generally turned out promptly to the assistance of the government, and did great servo in quelling the mob. The Hon. J. M. Clayton was elected a senator en the 13th, by the Delaware legislature, for a term of six yearti. General Pierce has returned to Amherst, where his lady has been stopping since the death of their child. A bill has been introduced into the Pennsylvania Senate to allow citizens of other states, passing through Pennsylvania, to hold Mares during their transit. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
