In reply to inquiries from the legislature of the State of Maine, Mr. Seward has stated that he granted permission for the passage of British troops across Maine to wore them angering from a northerly Canadian voyage. Mr. Seward says that uo foreign power inimical to England would complain of the Federal govern ment extending this comity to Eugland, and that any danger from the permission could only come from direct hostility ou the part of England to wards the Federal government. " I will not affect ignorance," continues Mr. Seward, " that popular aspirations have recently appeared in Canada and England which seemed to indicate a growing alienation of sentiment among portions of the British people ; but the English government has during this time held towards the Federal government its customary language of respect and friendship. The Federal government, practising entire frankness, yields its full faith to these asauranom of the British government. Thu policy of the Federal government has been to for tify in. territories in order to resist foreign and domestic enemies, if such enemies must come ; but it has been careful to secure even greater strength by shoeing itself consistent in all things, scrupu lously just, and if possible magnanimous towards other nations." Mr. Seward concludes by saying that, should the State of Maine be aggrieved at the instructions given, they will be modified. President Lincoln has ordered the removal of privateen.men to Fort Lafayette. Privattersmee will in future be treated as prisoners of war. In Congress Mr. Chandler has offered a resolu tion that the Committee on Commerce should inquire into the expediency of notifying England that the Canadian reciprucity treaty is not recipro cal, and that it will be terminated at the earliest possible moment. Mr. Chandler's resolution has bete referred foe further discussion. The J.Veir York Times contains a statement that General Scott is going to Mexico on a mission from the Federal goverumest. The impression is, how ever, that t;eueral Scott proceeds to Key West for the benefit of his health. The Northern Light has arrived at New York from Aspinwall with nearly 1,000,000 dais. in specie. The steamer Ho has also arrived. The Panama Compan y's steamship Columbus has been totally wrecked. o lives were lout. (Per Europa, by Telegraph from New York to Halifax sad from Queenstown to London.) NEW YORK, Fee. 6, Evairme. The New York Woriti states that it is rumoured in Washington that the Swedish Minister had un dertaken to demonstrate to the Federal Govern ment that the blockade is inefficient. Mr. Seward was said to be preparing a reply. The Secretary of the Treasury has given notice that the holders of warms of Government Bonds can receive interest in can. The Senate ham referred the Bill for building 20 iron-clad steamers back to the naval committee for modification. The leading)nen of Georgia have issued an address to the people of that State, saying that foreign aid is remote, and that the means to resist the ex tensive resources of the North are unflinching courage and self-sacrifice. The address adds, that every city and village whence the people might be compelled to depart should be burnt. The New York Tine's strongly approver, General Hillock's order in Missouri, that all clergymen, di rectors of railroads, and university authorities, should take the oath of allegiance. The European advioes per Hansa, Nova Scotian, and City of Baltimore, have been received in New York. _ The articles of the London Tunes, urging non- 1 interference in American affairs, produced a good effect. This was however counterbalanced by the I rumours of French protests against the blockade. The New York press generally argue that au European recognition of the Southern Confederacy ' appears imminent. unless active military move ments are inaugurated. Great suspense continues concerning the inaction and delay in Congress on the Legal Tender Trea sury Note Bill. Long speeches continue to be made for and against it. The Secretary of the Treasury fully endorses the legal tender clause, and bas written twice to the chairman of the com mittee of ways and means, strongly urging the absolute necessity for the immediate passage of the biN. The New York Tines says that on the 10th of February there will not be a dollar in the trea sury unless this bill is passed. A Southern flag of truce has arrived in Washing ton, the object of which has not transpired. In Congress Mr. Sumner has called fur the cor respondence relative to the presentation of Ameri can citizens at the French court. Senator Bright had bean expelled from Congress. It is reported from San Francisco that a courier bad arrived at Acapulco previous to January 26, with intelligence of the defeat of the Spanish army in a seven) bale, lasting five hours, at National Bridge, near Vera Cruz.

ITALY AND PRUSSIA. TURIN, Pea 17. To-day, in the Chamber of Deputies, the postal conventions between the Italian government and I Switzerland and Greece were approved of. Signor La Farina expressed a wish that a similar convention should be concluded with Prussia. To this Baron Ricasoli replied that lie had always sought that the Italian cause should not become isolated u 1 its relations with other nations. Among those who have displayed towards Italy the greatest sympathy, said Baron Riess°li, is the Prussian go vernnient, which has likewise manifested sentiments favourable to our cause. The Prussian represents- : tire has always remained at Turin, as our mine- I sentative remains at Berlin. The Italian envoy was received with sympathies and honours during the coronation of the King of Prussia..

In order to add still further to the security of this dockyard and animal, the government has decided a greet. ing another large battery, a short distance below Chatham dockyard, at Gilliugam-reach, in addition to the two bat teries at Folly Point and Daratoness. The works in canna don with the construction of the last two mentioned bat ferias are bang pushed forward as rapidly as circumstances will allow, the contractors having bed the most for midable difficulties to surmount in of the aft and yielding state of the soil on which fortifications are to be erected. Considerable papa' bee also been made in the arenas of the fortify:anew en both aides of the maws of the Medway, and it ia believed that the whole will be completed and armed within the time originally "podia—two yams. It is now decided that the marten* tower a the mama to the river, built a few years since at a wet of 12,0001., and armed with gas of the heaviest chlibre, is not to be reenoad, as the new batteries erecting ow the Isle of Grain will be so placed that the tower will not be in the way of the range of their guns. All the bat %od athed es, when fi, are to be armed with the most powerful Armstrong ad other ordnance, rendering the plu mp of the Medway to Chatham-dockyard almost impreg nable to a hostile dent. THE OMPOHH MUSIC•BALL. Yesterday . afternoon a private performance of one of thews entertainments which, under the title of the " Flying Trapeze" have become so popular of late, took plans ; at the Oxford Mode Hall, preparatory to the 'pp:arenas of the young debutante before the public. The youthful par asite on this occardou are called respectively Henri and Pfau; the former said to be 13 years of age, widths latter 11. Both have performed with great success at the Cirque Napalms. Paris, and the opportunity of appearing in this city Melina afforded them through the agency of IL Dejean, the director of that place of entertainmest. The elder youth is tall, the younger short, and home 1,0018 difficulty wee observable is regard to the arrangement of the plat tonne, inasmuch sea " lesp " which enabled the latter to Regain his feet conveniently, compelled the farmer so to distort his body as to lessen that freedom and grain which are required to give due effect to the performance. IL Deleon, who has brought them yowig gymnastrth this °elude; does not claim for them the power of eclipsing Leotard; but he directs attention to the fact that, se mere boys, they have the courage and skill to accomplish all that that extra dinary Law has achieved. It would be invidious to hoed. tate comparisons ; but it is not too much to my that the example presented to thew boldyoutlis, Henri and Pfau, by IL Leotard, has been followed by them in • manner which shows that, if they were not pupils of his, they might have been so with advantage to themseves and to him. Their performances are certainly marvellous, in the strident sense of the term, and though they place themselves in positions which appear to offer considerable danger, they never lead the spectators to fear that, should an a ccident occur, they could not readily recover themselves. Their movements are extremely graceful, and they are jut as much at home on the trapire se sehoolboys are on the °Wi nery swing. Their mode of Uvulas somersaults between the operation of quitting, their hold of one sus pended bar and clinging on to another, betrays an amount of skill and daring which, coming from a well matured acrobat, would excite wonder and approbatkes, but in performers so youthful and so little advanced in muscular devel3pment, causes the lookers-on almost to doubt the evidence of their own eyes. Whether poised, as it were, to the air, or clinging to the support which the rropize affords, they twist said turn their bodies in such a roamer as to suggest the idea that, great as their present achievements are, they will yet simmer them. There is, moreover, one gnat advantage in their made of performance which imparts increased confidence to the spectators, namely, that they give abundant reason for the belief (by the aplomb with which they often descend to the platform beneath them) that, should they chinos to make a false step, they would inevitably fall with their feet to the ground. In short everything that they do, who thee singly or together is accomplished in such a style se to prove themselves proficient in their art, while those who I witness their manomivres can scarcely believe that without that muscular power which maturity suggests so much physique, es well as grace and agility, could possibly be dia -1 Played THE SPRING HANDICAP ACCEPTANCES. TO TIM IDITOR or TH2 wanes. BtH,—The satisfaction given by the handicappers for the Northamptonshire, City sod Submban, Metropoli tan, Newmarket, and Chester Cup Stakes, has been of the moat unequivocal character, for the sum total of homes left in the five noes is the best ever attained, and the mast factions critics have been unable to discover an yt hing to abuse the adjustors of weights for yet. Admiral Roos ham met with the greatest share of support, having obtained 212 acceptances out of 320 entries for his City and Suburban, Metropolitan, and Newmarket Handicaps, or 66 per cent. ; while the 98 out of 167 for the Chester Cup only represents 59 per cent, and the 56 out of 106 for the Northamptonshire 53 per cent. Still the Rhoodee event is evidently the most popular smog speculators, se they have hardly talked about the others yet, although the raising of the weights in the Chester Cup has tended to check the betting upon it, the 3-yr-olde that Looked so well in se • body having but two or three of their Dumber in the market. In my opinion the raising of weights 1..11 in their favour, if they ever had a chance, and it most be borne in mind that Aug. Stsvros, Herculaneum, Jung Frau, sod the V est colt. hare now only about the same weigbta aa in the other events, even with the 71b. extra; while another (gliaogewin) would still have Mb lam on his back had he stood in the Metropolitan.

The inimitably damp afternoon had a perceptible effect epos the attendance of members, for the muster was not so large as was reasonably exported. Speculation, however, is generally becoming more and more important on every afternoon of meeting at the Corner for since the shooting season is ended, and parliament h is satembled, old and young men from the country now put in ao appearance in the I.OM . Neither the nature nor the scope of business supplied materials for elaborate comments, and alth oug h the list of quotations make • goodly show, their length is not indicative of heavy transactions. Indeed, a great portion of the conversation in which the members were engaged was directed to the coming Waterloo Coursing Meeting at Liverpool, for the Waterloo Cup has of late years grown into a popular betting event. The first really important legitimate races of the season will take place at Lincoln next week, and will again bring together turfites irons all parts of the kingdom, and will set the bet tiog-wheel briskly turning until the end of the year. The acceptances for the spring handicaps, the remnant of which was published last week, are satisfactory in every respect, yet the Chester Cup and Northamptonshire Stakes engross all speculation on the handicaps. For the Lincoln Handicap, Suburban recovered from the opposition which in the Lily during the morning threatened to drive him out of the market, es much as 20 to 1 having, we believe, been laid against him at the dub, and returned to 10 to 1, three points higher than be was qquoted last week.

He was still in force for both. The Marquis, too, did not seem to be quits knocked out of the market for the lint named event, for 8 to 1 was taken and offered about him. The price, for the Chester Cup and Derby vary so little, and in many instances not at all, from those last quoted, that It is unnecessary to refer to them.

In their own advertisement of the Car. marthenshire Hint week there is a conditiou printed for " all disputes to be settled by the stewards, or whom I they may appoint, and their decision to be final ; the stewards to have the power to postpone the races in ease they think it necessary ;" and • thus, , even supp o sing the meeting were under the control of ming law;' when the stewards ordered the stakes to be divided, the matter was settled, while it was also in their power to postpone the walk over, even were that necessary, until Thursday. But the "Rules of Racing" have no 1.101111 to do with steeple chasing than the laws of the Medea and Persians, as the wort is repudiated by the Jockey Club, while even the offi cial Racing Calendar will insert no record of a stesplechese, even though it takes place at the moat legitimate of flat ince rneetinp ; and the followers of the sport are perfectly at liberty to have laws of their own. Their rule, that a walk over is unnecessary when two horses tun a de ad heat, and agree to divide, has often been followed without a wrangle, and is quite in ac cordance with common sews, for only a society . of Bed. 'smiths would allow a law to exist after uiring what would he an impossibility, i.e., a walk ove four miles of hunting country in the dark. But, perhaps the most astonishing part of your conteinporary's conduct is its assuming the prerogative of setting rip an nitiotation against the decision of the stewards of a meeting, and thine parties are i gn orant enough of " racing law " to suppose the question is not settled yet. so tenaciously does the Life stick to the woad" " The race is null and void."
