Many passage boats had boa cat off by the Chinese, and one by one the river steamers had been compelled to cease plying between Hongkong end Canton.

The lest thieve of that great convulsion have for a time died away, none can tell how soon to resume their portentous activity. Meanwhile the darkness settles down heavily again over the hopes of the nations, and "the whole night of obscene and cla morous birds" that flutter round the thrones of despotism spend their malign activity in labouring to extinguish the last flicker of that perilous light which has heretofore proved so fatal to the ascend ancy of the system ander whom shadow alone they live. Of all the relies of 1848 nose is so hateful to the reastionids of 1867 as the Fres Prom of Pied moot. In that nook of Italy—hemmed in between the Alps and the sea, and =stained by the life giving influences of both—Piedmont, the little na tion of freemen, in a standing reproach to the absolu tion that spreads on all sides around it. Piedmont is the hope of Italy—Austria, its despair. The wrath of Austria, hag suppressed within the decent bounds of diplomatic reserve, has at length broken forth. Notwithstanding the sovereign clemency of the august Eurrane to his subjects of Milan, the free Fees of Piedmont has still chosen to characterise the ruler and the Government in the only teems which, without treason to truth and right, free Italians when writing on such subjects could employ. Count Brat, on the 10th of February, ia instructed to complain of this in set terms, in a despatch addressed to the Austrian Envoy at Turin. The Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs complains that while "confidence is establishing itself everywhere" —(just as peace on a certain mewed& works "reigned at Warsaw")—there are dill a few spirits who are withheld from joining in that confi dence by " inouseantly provocative action from with out." The Minister will not conceal from the Envoy that " the attitude of the Piedmontese Government hr hurt the Eurzeoz's feelings." The Piediao press, " faithful to its abject habits and to its syr tematie hatred against Austria, has endeavoured to represent recent events at Milan" (the gracious amnesty, so rapturously extolled in the Voles) " in a light diametrically opposed to the truth." The Pied:boatels Government, by not imppressing three attacks, is guilty of complicity with their authors, and the feelings of " our august muter are accordingly hurt." But this is not all. " Piedmont is not menaced by any Power," and yet subscriptions have been opened for the purpose of strengthening her dedissess. Deputations have been received from the Austrian dominions, expressing sympathy with a Government which Austria disap proves. A monument has even been offered by sub jects of the Esteinon to emsumemorate the deeds of the Sardininn army. Bach are the grievances met plained of by Count Bros.—inch the proceedings in regard to which the " EMPEROR owes it to his own dignity not to leave the Sardinian Government in ignorance of the displeasure they have caused him." Count Carom's reply is at once straightforward and de:teams. The press of Piedmont, be tells the Austrian Minister, is free, and it is an essential principle of the Piedmonts= Government that it should remain so. As to personal attacks on the Er reams, the law courts of Turin are open to him if he chooses to prosecute, though, for that matter, the scurrility of the press of Milan, in comment• log ea Piedmont and its Rego, is at least equal to that of the press of Turin in commenting on the Emerson and his system ; the dill:ewe being that the press of Milan is under a strict coneonhip, and can publish nothing but what the Imperial Government pleases, while that of Turin is free, and may publish what it pleases within the limits of the law. Yes, there is another dilierenes. The press of Turin cannot penetrate beyond the Ticino—that of Milan circulates freely in the states of the Xing of Sardinia. And yet his Majesty hes never dreamt of making a complaint on this more. There is one ether obessmation. The press of Turin, at any rate, is not more free spoken then the liberal press of England, and yet this has not prevented his Majesty the Eureaon from " sceldng, when it suited his interests, an alliance of friendship with Eng land, and hem shelving his satisfied= and Ode at the good relations established with that Power." Parsing from the prom to the ether tyke of eemplant alluded to by Count Bros., and especially to the demonstrations in favour of Piedmont &fa Other parts of Italy, the Etudiniaa Minister dtslares that Inch demonstrations were but a natural and spontaneous tribute of acknowledg ment for the part taken by the representatives of Piedmont at the Paris Conferences, in calling the attention of the assembled Powers to the necessity of political ameliorations in Italy. " There is nothing in this," proceeds Count CAVOIIII, "to en title Austria to complain. She herself, though not agreed upon the means, feels the necessity of modify ing the present state of things in Italy. But she does more than recognise this in words. By the acts she has just done, by those which are announced as likely soon to take place, she has proved by facts that the statements of the Sardinian Plenipotentiaries were not devoid of foundation, and that the approval which crowned their efforts can not be imputed to them as an act directly hostile to Austria." It is to be hoped Count Beer. and his Imperial muter were gratified by this courteous retort. The meaning of the whole thing is plain. Sardinia, its free Government, and its free press, are felt by the Imperial Government to be a nuisance that cannot too speedily be abated. That spark of future independence must, if possible, be trampled under foot ere it grows into the broad clear blaze of national regeneration. It is but fear which pre vents the attempt from being made—the fear of that free opinion of which a free press is the only organ. Let, then, the free press wherever it exists do its duty ; for in the energy of its protest, in the faith fulness with which it represents the deeply-rooted convictions of all thinking men—in this, and not in the action of Governments—lies the only hope of LATEST INTELLIGENCE. I THE NEUFCHATEL QUESTION. The Neufchatel journals lately anon Ale a t h e ye . turn of tho councillors of state, MM.

The Pays says : We learn by the latest news from China, under date of Dec. 13, that the Court of Pekin had pub- lished a decree prohibiting all subjects of tho Celes tial Empire from trading with the English.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 20th, in the Caastitatioaael, says : The Romisa govonunsat has sent a Memoir to the Great Payton, to which it auntines in detail the quarks of the maim of the Principilities. Tide dont:mat goes back to 1828, when the Rambla troops occupied the Principalities, sad makes karma the darts of Rosins at that period to pro pas the union.

(rant[ ova owx ROME: FIB. 26. The expiring shrieks of maskers, and the fading glimmer of moccoletti on Tuesday evening, gave in dication of the conclusion of the carnival, the real Roman delicie. This saturnalian festival has exhi bited during the present season somewhat of a revival of its quondam spirit. The ingenuity of the revellers has been displayed in providing disguises for their natural faces, without transgressing the severe edict of the government against the use of masks. Orange peel spectacles, redundant tow wigs, and pigment worthy of an Iroquois or Cherokee war rior, have produced a compromise between the jealous observance of the sbirri and the innate Roman love of •'traeestimento." The beauty of the weather for the last day of the Carnival gave an additional impulse to the gaiety of the scene and the spirits of the spectators. The Corso was crowded with varied specimens of humanity in serried ranks from the Piazza del Po- polo to the Piazza di Venezia. All Europe appeared to be gazing and pelting flowers and confetti from the windows and balconies of the Romans. Then the boom of the cannon, and the carriages were turned out of the Corso, to make room for the dragoons, whose red plumes were seen dancing aloft as they gallopped up and and down the long street, to clear the way for the racehorses. These nn•Asoot looking animals next performed their part in the day's entertainment, presenting the usual rivalry between the milkman and the banker Cecchi, the respective owners of the favourite running horses ; finally the carriages were readmitted to the Corso, tapers were lit above, below, and round about, and the blue of flickering light, which renders the effect of the maccoktti so unique, was maintained in spite of the determined efforts of the extinguishing partisans, with their handker chiefs, bouquets, and other missiles, until the signal gun gave the order for universal darkness. The extinction of the maccoletti sent the crowd off in various directions ; supper parties, theatres, and the masked ball at the opera, drew their respective portions of revellers, and cafes and °stereos were crowded with laughing audiences round voluble improrisalori, in the garb of counts, quack doctors, and lawyers, until the approach of midnight, and the imminent commencement of Lent, sent the motley crew homewards, with jangling mandolines and tambourines, to the sound of which pagliacciva and pukinallas cut their final ' capers with ecstatic enjoyment. " Sic Our ad antra r may one indeed exclaim, on seeing how little is requisite to render people happy! NAPLES. A telegraphic despatch from Naples states that on Saturday last the Queen gave birth to a prince, being her ninth child. UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. This evening the royal mail steam-ship Africa Captain N. Shannon, arrived in this port, direct from New York, whence she sailed on the 18th ult. She has brought, besides the usual mails, G 3 pas sengers and 228,480 dollars in specie on freight, chiefly for Havre. She passed the royal mail steamer America, hence March let, off Fastest Rock. The Dallas-Clarendon treaty is laid over until the 6th of March, on the first day of the new adminis tration ; it appears that all the southern members opposed it, owing to the slavery clause regarding Honduras. _ _ The Netherlands extradition treaty had passed the Senate. Advices from Washington state that Mr. Bu chanan had not completed his cabinet. The French minister had demanded from the government COM .. pensation for the injuries to the French residents during the bombardments of Grey Town. In the Burden case the jury had returned a ver dict of wilful murder against Mrs. Cunningham, Eckel, and Snodgrass. They were of opinion that the daughters of Mrs. Cunningham were also impli cated, and recommended their safe keeping. Snod grass said, in reply to the coroner, " I am entirely innocent; I know nothing whatever of the facts re lating to the murder of Dr. Burden. If any one knows anything about the murder in the family, I think it is Miss August Cunningham, with the mother, understand me—that is, if the murder was . . perpetrated by any of the inmates of the house." The French Minister has made a demand on the United States' government for indemnity for losses sustained by French residents at Greytown during its bombardment by the Cyan° frigate. The house of representatives of Indiana have plumped a bill securing to married women whose bus-' , bands have been imprisoned for felony, all their own real and personal property, their own earnings dur ing such desertion or separation, and the proceeds of their husbands' debts. A " Ferranti Liberty Bill," relative to persons claimed as fitgitive slaves, has been introduced into the Wisconsin legislature. It directs trial by jury to be provided for persons claimed, punishes false and malicious arrests of persons as fugitive slaves with 1,000 dole. fine, and gives power to county courts to grant writs of habeas carpus. A bill to prevent the circulation of abolition docu ments and newspapers has been introduced into the Louisiana legislature. Thu bill makes it a criminal offence to take an abolition paper. ' A bill has also been introduced, to render aid to the Americans now in Nicaragua. According to intelligence from Mexico dated Feb. 1 the treaty signed between the United States and Mexico provides that the former shall lend Mexico fifteen million dollars, of which three millions go to pay American claims, and the United States is to have a mortgage on the customs revenue, and to re ceive 16 per cent of the duties. The money market at New York is exceedingly active at '7 per cent, and even higher for demand loans. Paper was offered freely from 9 to 12 per cent. Stocks were buoyant and active. Exchange on London, 1091 to 81 ; Paris, 3.211 to 6.221. Cotton was firm, with full sales. Flour dull, with a limited market, closing prices favouring the purchaser. Wheat was firm, and there was a good demand for Indian corn. Provisions were in good request, and prices steady. Freights were heavy.

This morning the iron screw steam-ship City of "Baltimore, Capt. R.

(PION OVZ OWN COIIZIPONDEXTI PARIS, MoNDAT Rums*. The ease of the Napoleon Docks was proceeded with to-day. MM. Nibelle, Ihdbure, and Nogent St. Laurens made speeches in defence of MM. Cusin, Legendre, and Duelthie de Vvre. To-morrow MM. Marie and Chevy will be beard for MM. Berrycr and Orsi. It is thought that the public prosecutor will reply, and ifs° it is scarcely possible that judg ment can be given to-morrow. The Boone has been very firm all day. The Route rose 25c. both for cash and account, closing at 70fr. 40c. and 70fr. 46c. Mobilier rose rapidly in the morning, but gave way before the close, and left off with but a trifling advance on Saturday's prioe. Railways were very animated. Mediterranean rose 26fr ; Orleans and Northern, 12fr. 60e. each; Lyons, 16fr.; Eastern, 10fr. ; Western, 7fr. 60c.; Southern, 2fr. 60c.; Grand Central, 6fr. A great movement took place in Austrian railways, which were done at an advance of lbfr., in consequence of a rumour of a telegraphic despatch from Vienna, stating that at the Saturday's Bourse there had been a rise of 7E, and that the receipts for the week had augmented by 10,0001 i. The complicated state of accounts between the Orand Central Railway and M. de Monty, which has frequently been spoken of since the departure of the latter for St. Petersham, was a special subject of conversation at the Bonne to-day. M. Doom had an interview with the Emperor at nine o'clock yesterday morning, his Majesty having desired to see him on the subject of his international credit bank. There is a talk of a fusion with a similar establishment, projected by the syndicate of bankers, with M. Rothschild at the head. The Council of State had an extraordinary meet ing yesterday, to discuss the grave question of the tax upon transfers of railway shares. It is under stood that the ministerial project was not approved of in detail. The principle of the tax is, however, maintained, and the council proposes to indict very severe penalties upon parties who may negotiate shares without the intervention of a regular epos de change. A telegraphic despatch received in Perim reports the almost sadden death of the Ciimacan of Mol davia, the Wornich Theodoritsa Saheb., formerly Commandant of the National Militia. He was an old man and had only accepted the functions of Ciimacan, temporarily in compliance with the press ing solicitations of the divan. It is thought that no successor will bo appointed and that a provisional government council will fulfil the duties of the Cainureanty until the new organisation of the Prin cipalities shall be settled. A letter from Berne of Feb. 28, in the Prone, says that owing to the collective and reiterated efforts of the great powers Prussia has at length shaken off her vie inertige, and that the Conferences will pro bably meet in Paris before the middle of the month. A letter from London, of Feb. 28, states that Colonel Ouseley, after having had a long conference at the Foreign Office, on Persian affairs, had left for Paris. The Emperor's principal chaplain, the Bishop of Nancy, is about to start for Rome, to pay the visit ad liming to the Pope which the members of the episcopacy arc in the habit of making every four years. In the Paris corn market during the past week business has been moderate, with a tendency to lower prioee. The four marks at first were quoted . . . at 79i., but after Wednesday that peke could not be obtained. The reserve at the Halle le at present somewhat over 9,000 metrical quintals. Wheat has been in but little demand. Fine qualities from the Nord were at from 44fr. to 43fr. the hectolitre and a half; and good Device at 42fr. and 43fr. The country markets are generally lower. Within the last two days upwards of 30,000 hectolitres of wheat arrived at Marseilles. The market is there stated to be calm. The price of meat for the Ant fortnight of the present month le axed u follows:—Oz beef, let category, 16. 92e. the kilogramme; 2nd, lfr. 62c.; 3rd, lfr. 12c. ; 4th, 131 e.

TILE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. This morning wo have received files of papers from the Cape dated Dee 30. The King William's Town papers state that in KaffirLand cattle stealing is not much on the decrease. There has been for some time past a brisk trade doing on between Fingers and Kaffirs in meshes and Kaffir corn; the former having cultivated largely, me enabled to sell to the latter. The Kadin continue to stag cattle, not only from the colonists, but from the Engem, sa d • " • even from each other. Seine cattle, it is said, beinoiia, the chief Pato, were taken by KafflN. Many Solara bass lately entered the colony to be servantii. It is said thatthere will be a village of Germans at Middle Drift, near the post, and also at Fort White. A portion of the police, It is stated, are about to be removed from Queen's Town district, sag stationed in the Waschbank Ward, in the Albert District. It is also said that four points Lave been Seed upon to be defended by the military, in case of danger, viz., Haddon. the Manesaana, Riot Fontein, and W. Gilbert's. _ A leder [min Fort Beaufort says —" Goners! hfitilull ism busy as possible inspecting posts and fixing on satiation/ beet suited for Leaders. I hear be haul fixed on the old Gala Pont, Niebuid's, or Painter's, Riet Fontein, Levity Fogs Min, and Howse,' Post, as the line for this part of the country. This taker seems to be taking every precaution, and Mould the Katare attempt an inroad, they will not, you may depend on it, find him napping. His knowledge ci the Kaftlrs and country qualifies him admirably for the command be holds, and I have no doubt he will be found all that can be wished. He was through the Weterkloof, and he known, therefore, something of Ma country be now has to protect. His next move is I ant told towards the bell, sit: Fort Peddle, where I beer he wip arrange, as here, for the protection of the farmers. Nothing that I can hear from thole best acquainted with the Kegs leads me to fear what may be termed a war. Our security, it appall to me, reds more on the destitute condition of tha Hairs than on anything else. That there will be much stealing, I fully expect, but this we may submit to so long an we are not compelled to The Frontier Times says:—" The late heavy raina appear to have been very general throughout the country, but as yet we have not heard of much damage being done to the crops, The appearance of the country is described as splendid, and the pus In moose puts is said to be ao high as to resemble fielde of Waving corn. A letter from Woke Kraal, of the 17th init., says :—' We have had in this pert of the country, for tee last month, &comely one aria day for reaping; abundance drain has fallen, the fields looking beautiful, and the stud. lag crops promise a good barred.'

This refusal arises, it is said. from the factofMr. Bell haring, in the course of his remark. from the bench on a former ocaosion, drawn a comparison bep teas the farmers of Clanwillieuu and the blacks, which thO former considered derogatory to their character.
