Tim Canadians are in the unsatidactery situation of having worked themselves up to a state of in_ tense excitement, and incurred a considerable loss of time and money, in preparations for defence without the compensation of having had a dash at the Fenian. In those frontier towns of the Ame rican Union from which the Fenian army was to have advanced into Canada "in three columns" on r 1 meats. The remedy is not to curtailment of liberty, but by ap_ reason of the community, by the . 91.4A1k10n manlier spirit, and a truer sensteViguitY, opportunities, and the respo nd • of freedom. it in St. Patrick's Day, the annivereary was remarkable for nothing but extreme dulness. How great was the commotion caused in Canada by the apprehen sion of a visit from the Fenian we have lately had abundant opportunity of judging ; but according to our New York Correspondent, than whom no one is better qualified to give a sound opinion, the Fenian invasion was never thought seriously of by any body but the Canadians themselves. That the Fe nian meant their threats to be taken seriously, that they desired to embarrass commerce, derange em- ployment, and impose a heavy charge upon the pro vincial treaaury, is as certain as that they have suc- .d' t!' OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS RAY.) 4 1 I =ULM! ADDRMS em amore. Th. Plow finds no novelty in Mr. Carlyle's dis grouse ; it contains the old platitudes and the old truths ; and, it must be owned, mingled here and there with them the old mgrs. Time has, however, its reeompenses, and if the freshness of youth seemed to be wanting in the ad dress of the rester, so also was its crudity. There was a singular mellowness in Mr. Carlyle's speech which was re treated in the homely language in which it was cowelmed. It is to be regretted that his old error should crop up that a democracy cannot permanently exist with out the occasional intervention of a dictator. Having j as little sympathy as Mr. darlyle with the new adoration of the mass, the Times thinks, nevertheless, it is a greater mistake than a belief in the infallibility of the multitude to be betrayed by a reaction against false theories into a disbelief of the possible permanency of con stitutional ceder. His declaration of the necessity for re maining the hereditary principle in government marks, however, his independence of thought and his respect for experience. Recalling briefly the oration of his predecessor, Mr. Gladstone, and contrasting it with Mr. Carlyle's dis course, the Timm observes that each in some measure supplies what is deficient in the other. No one would claim for the Chancellor of the Exchequer the in tensity ►I oeeded in those designs ; but they appear to have made no preparations whatever for giving effect to those threats. Our Correspondent states that the American Government was on the watch for some trace of an armed expedition to Canada, but could find none whatever. In the New York newspapers, indeed, the whole Fenian array was visible, and the military strength of the Irish Republic was detailed to a man. This is what the Canadian newspapers mean when they declare that the Fe- of power of his sueoemor, but in his abundant energy, his wide sympathy with popular movement, and his real, if veins and indiscriminating. faith in the acti vity and progress of modern life, he conveys lemons of trust in the present, and hopefulness in the future, which would be ill-exchanged for the patient and somewhat sad ✓lsoichm of Mr. Carlyle. It is remarked by the Doily New that the election of Mr. Carlyle in preference to Mr. Disraeli was the homage of students to a great and pare literary career, and in no way a sign of their sympathy with the cynicism and bitter railing which characterise his later writings. He is, more over, an Edinburgh man, and the foundations of whet he has done were laid during his period of study at the uni varsity there. All hearers were fascinated by his address, and many an old grudge will be forgiven him for its sake. Revisiting the ounce of his youth, he appeared to catch the happier inspiration of his earlier genius. The ramrod tenderness, half sad, half hopeful, which the spectacle of opening premise suggested, softened down the harsher peen- Mufti= of his temper and doctrine until they disappeared. A howdy wisdom, rising into transcendental truth, sublim , sting health into holiness, and connecting rules of study With the development of truth-loving intellect and duty reverencing character, was the basis and background of the address, though his peculiar views of society and government, and the relations of man to the uni ' verse and to its Author, did not, of course, lack expression. His theory that popular self-government is but anarchy, and his perversely extravagant doctrine of the mischief of speech were advanced ; but even on these points he did his spiriting more mildly than he has been wont to do of late. The address, both in its substance and in its style shows how beneficial in its effect, both on the matter and form of Mr. Carlyle's writing, a freer reception of ordinary social influences would have been in giving balance to his thought and moderation to him language. When a hero-worshipper, the Tdegraph says, finds him. self suddenly worshipped as a hero, the sensation, one would imagine, must be decidedly agreeable—the rather that he knows his popularity has been purchased by no scarifies of principle, no fawning or time-serving ; that it has sought out him, not he it. And his extemporaneous address was well worthy of the occasion. Now, as ever, Mr. Carlyle's influence is even more moral than intel lectual ; and the Telegraph counts this address as by no means the least valuable of his splendid services to Eng land. The Star thinks they are to be envied who had the privilege of hearing thej address. For years upon years this great writer and thinker—es with all his faults he assuredly is—haa lived in London as completely apart from and personally unknown to the great mass of the London public ae if he were an intellectual Philoctetes upon a lonely Lemnos not to be lured into the strife of men by the persuasion of any Neoptolemua or the wiles of any Ulysses. Grave bearded men who read his speech to-day ware children when Thomas Carlyle delivered his lectures on " Hero Worship" face to face with a London audience ; and probably no one expected that the secluded scholar would ever again emerge from the silent solitude he loves to deliver an oration even to a crowd of students. To hear that astonishing extern poraneousdimertation from a man of seventy who had never any practise in public speaking, and had not addressed an audience of any kina for nearly thirty years, was indeed a remarkable privilege, which they who enjoyed are not likely to forget. Much of his doctrine the Star regards as utterly wrong, and, though fascinated by his address, can discover in it no gleam of new light to help us on our way. We must only be glad that si:th the old paradoxes and the old complaints we find at least the old eloquence and the old humour too. nian preparations for the invasion of Canada were " notorious." But the regiments, the horses, the guns, the tumbrils which were set down so squarely on paper, existed nowhere else. The elaborate stories repeated every morning, with every embel lishment which the Celtic imagination could sug gest, pleased the poor Irish labourers and servant girls who so freely and so ignorantly supply funds to Rossars and Swsszfr, and they alarmed the Canadians ; and, having done this, they fulfilled their end. Our Correspondent adds that the Ame rican Government is watching the Fenian very closely, and that any overt act on their part will bring down prompt repression ; but that that Go vernment cannotpreventthe Irish playing at repub lics or deposing the Governor of Canada on paper. The Canadians, he tells ua, have had very little sympathy in their fright from the American people, for the reason that they awarded so inuch impunity to Southern refugees during the war for the Union, permitting them to organize plots of the basest character on Canadian soil, such u those for the burning of Northern cities, the raid into Vermont, night expeditions for throwing rail way trains off the line, and so on. The public writers of Canada meet these charge;; with an amount of indignation which we cannot profess to think uncalled for. The Americans confuse two things—the hospitality which the Canadians ex tended to the Southern refugees, and the ill-use which those persob, .lade of it. No one in the United States, we ^ &agine, believes for a moment that the Southern refugees were welcomed in Canada in order that they might plot against the Government of the United States. They were treated as refugees always are treated on British soil, and no one could suppose beforehand that they would abuse Canadian generosity as it afterwards appeared they had done. If their plots, unlike those of the Fenian', were real, so, unlike them, they were secret ; and the Canadian Government only knew of them by the event. When, fresh from the perpetration of their crimes, they came again within reach of the Canadian Government, they were arrested, and the aid of the legislature of the colony was successfully invoked to make the law more stringent and enable theexecutive to deal more promptly with those who should violate British neutrality. There is more ground for the allegation of the Americans that their remonstrances were lightly treated in Canada, and that both people and magistrates joined to throw obstacles in the way of the conviction of the Southern brigands ; but here, again, an important distinction must be made—the Canadian executive always did its duty to the utmost towards the United States. When prisoners were improperly released by inferior magistrates it caused them to be re-arrested, it increased the severity of the laws, it sent detective officers on the track of suspected persons, and it placed a strong guard on the fron tier. The popular demonstrations in favour of the Southern refugees and against the American Govern be regretted, and the more so inasmuch .g from a mere fraction of the community been credited to the whole.

White the Vienna Gazette totally denies that Austria is arming, the military journals of Berlin urge the government to mobilise the Prussian army at once and to secure the south side of the Erzege birge before the Austrian troops are too concen trated to prevent it. The Military Gazette of Vienna, which up to the preeent has been silent on the subject of the Austro- Premien dispute, says : After painful doubts matters seem to have reached that point which should be gladly accepted by all men of decision, because it removes the question from one of uncertainty into the domain of facts. Not that we have the least desire to preach hatred or war against a power which was for a long time our friend in very diffe rent circumstances and vicissitudes, and whose brave army has on many occasions, and on a very late one, given to ours proofs of its sympathy and esteem.

AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF BOSTON. (Via Crookhaven.) NEW YORK, Mat= 23, Eviarnw. The Fenian' continue their organisation, and are mustering regiments into the service of the Irish republic in various parts of the country. Sweeny has made a speech, in which he said that many thought he was about to strike Canada, but he did not himself know where the first blow would be struck. NEW YORK, MARCH M t Mosiental The House of Representatives has passed the Loan Bill, with amendments, restricting the re duction of the currency to 10,000,000 dollars during the first six months after the adoption of the bill, and 4,000,000 per month after that period. The bill now goes to the Senate. It is reported that the President will certainly veto the Civil Rights Bill. . . . . The Herald says that the government has issued orders to prepare a flying squadron for duty on the British North American coast. The various reasons assigned for this are, the assembling of the British West India fleet at Halifax, the Fenian move ments, and the effect upon the American fisheries of the termination of the Reciprocity Treaty. The President has forwarded to the House of Representatives the information asked regarding the internal condition of Mexico. The information includes a letter from Senor Romero to Mr. Seward, dated the 9th inst., stating that he had received intelligence from highly reliable sources in Paris, that Napoleon proposed to adopt a middle course on the Mexican question by abandoning Maximi lian and re-establishing the Mexican Republic, with Marshal Bazaine as President, ad interim. In reply to an application from Senor Gonzales, a merchant of San Salvador, for payment by the United States for the loss of goods on a vessel destroyed by the Alabama, Mr. Seward stated that Gonzales, being an alien, he could not interfere with the British government on his behalf, nor assume responsibility for injuries he had suffered at the hands of British subjects and of rebels whom they had aided.

The Spanish frigates Villa de Madrid and Blanca, which were cruising in search of the allied fleet, discovered it in the harbour of Chiloe.

The Florence journals of to-day contradict the statement that any military preparations are being made on the part of Italy, and declare that there is no question of concentrating troops at Bologna or any other point. The military movements have simply been occasioned by the ordinary requirements of the service. THE BRAZIL MAIL. 801711LUIPTON, Ana 4. The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's steam ship Douro, with the above mail, has arrived here. She brings 100 passengers, 7,7241. in specie, eight packages of diamonds, value not stated, and 1,500 packages of cargo, consisting chiefly of cotton, coffee, and tobacco. The French ship Nouvelle Pauline, with 7,000 bags of coffee from Rio de Janeiro, was wrecked on Rio Real on the 23rd. The crew were saved and landed at Bahia. It was expected the ship and cargo would be a total loss. Seven British ships of war, two United States, three Italian, five Spanish, two French, one Russian, and one Portuguese were at Monte Video. Admiral Tamandare, with iron-clad gun-boats and monitors, has arrived at Corrientes. The allies had not yet attempted to cross the Parana for the invasion of Paraguay. _ _ The Paraguayans seemed determined to hold out, and their daring incursions, having twice crossed the river in canoes and attacked the van guard of the Argentines, showed the resolute resistance the allied army must expect to encounter. The inactivity of the Brazilian squadron during these engagements caused serious complaints. Hitherto the movements of the allies have been so slow, and those of the enemy so rash, that until the allied army has crossed the Paraguay it is impossible to say how long the war will last. If the Paraguayans hold true to Lopez it must be long, tedious, and expensive. It is under stood that the passage of the Parana will be undertaken immediately, and in all pro_ bsbility will only be effected with great loss to the allies. . In the interior provinces everything was quiet, and the local governments were busy with indus trial projects. At Buenos Ayres trade was good. Gold ruled firm, and paper money was scarce.

A concession for the formation of a branch rail way from Escada to the Rio Grande station has been granted to Baron de Mans. Since the attack by the Paraguayans no serious collision had taken place.

Intelligence reached this city to-day of a most deplorable occurrence the murder of Captain D'Huart, and aide-de-camp of the Count of Flanders, attached to the Belgian mission, sent to this capital a few weeks since by Ring Leopold 11. Two diligences left the capital at the usual hour of 3 a.m. for Vera Cruz, the first containing the members of the mission, the second the passengers by the regular mail of the day, among them Captain Turner of the American steamer Manhattan, on which the Belgian party had engaged their passage on their way home. The diligences always stop about 10 a.m. at Rio Frio for breakfast, and the road for some fifteen miles before reaching that point is particularly dreary and lonely, winding up to Rio Frio, the highest point between the coast and the capital, through a waste of sand and pretty heavy pine woods. About ten miles this side of Rio Frio the passengers, many of whom had been walking to ease the mules, got back into the vehicles, Capt. Turner, who had been conversing on the mad with Capt. D'Huart, was invited by him to leave the second diligence, and take a seat by his side on the imperial, or outer seat of the first. Pleading a desire to take a second nap as his ezense far declining, the American got back into his own place—and unconsciously thereby, in all probabi lity, saved his own life. For,liot five minutes after wards, the report of rifles fired in rapid succession was heard, and the startled peassegen of the second diligence looking out saw the first diligence , I 1 meat are to bo as proceedings i 1 1 1 they have bee i were made i is claimed wh '' I . and which is i i i ( ' the United S 1 , I : people that i quently prone ; i , ' • i ' time the cons It Is in vain t if an import wanton and u i' 1 1 , 1 paltrypropen r I . : 1 bans by att.

One ingenious gentleman devotes a long manuscript to showing how if a dock is built round the Northumberland, and carefully filled with bales of cotton, on which scalding waters to be poured, the expansion must infallibly make the vessel rise ! A Paris correspondent writes :—" You remember a few years ago the sensation Rigolbooke excited ; print shops were crowded by beardless boys and moustachioed men in search of her photograph, and some of which, by the bye, were taken in the most impossible (I use the word in a French sense) of attitudes. To secure &fanfold for the night she danced one bad to go down in the morning and pay a frightful sum. Cravata ala Bigelboche, Rigolboche valsea,Rigolbeche everything was the order of the day. But Theresa appeared at one of the cafes chantante, and the queen of the Jockey and every other club was dethroned— the coarse license of Theresa's gestures had eclipsed Rigel beche's attitudes. She died bast week in the ward of a public hospital, and was buried in the fosse commune. Her fate reads like the last chapter of s novel, but is neverthe less true." The most successful comedy of the season in Park continues to be the Fawi lle iktioitom, played at the Vaudeville, in the Rue Vivienne. It has now been played for near five months without any interruption, except once during Holy Week. Its hundredth night was the 14th of February, when the facade of the theatre displayed • large flag in honour of the occasion ; and the number 100 in gigantic figures lighted up with gas. The receipts of the house up to that night were 463,761 fr., or an average of 4,637 fr. per night. The gains of the author for the same period were—first, 10,000 fr. by way of premium ; second, author's tickets to the amount of 10efr. for each performance ; and third, 12 per cent. on the money taken at the doors, so that he hu received in three months • sum of 77,270 fr., or 3,0901. ROYAL HORTICULTURAL Socrirrr, Soots Kim -BINGTOW. —At the fortnightly meeting of this society held yesterday, Mr. George F. Wilson, F.R.8., in the chair, the following were some of the objects most worthy atten tion, viz. :—A plant of the true rhododendron Griffithii from Bhotan, no lees remarkable for its large lovely white Bowen than its exquisite scent like that of hawthorn; bonatea specious, a Cape orchid, and sn angrier= from Madagascar, apparently new ; also • charming variegated variety of the canna crested dog:tail geese, which bids fair to be extremely valuable for edging, ice. The Rev. M. J. Berkeley made suss observations en en experiment on traMe growing, just commenced at Mir:wick. Thirteen JIM fellows vele erred, and the Maidstone Hiniinaltual tiknialy was mheitiediato Imam WORN. The Herald maintains that in the discussions on the Re form Bill in parliament, and in the press, all the argu ment has been on one side, and expresses its astonish ment " at the extreme ferocity and ungovernable violence of the Daily Nem, which has hitherto contrived to pre serve its own dignity, and whose present tone is a striking proof ot the straits to which the supporters of Mr. Glad stone are reduced. It is plain to all who read that the second reading of the franchise bill is to be carried by in timidation. But the enemies of the bill could command every county seat and at least nine-tenths of the boroughs, and if they will only express their opinions to their repro sentativea, they will render the rejection of the bill a matter of certainty. Mr. Roebuck has got himself out of favour with the Herald by his defence of the bill, and he is now termed " the chosen of the Sheffield knife-grinders, the angular atom of unnumbered personal and party dis ruptions," ko. By this time the Telegraph thinks the tortes who have good information, and those who are not quite blinded with the old fain of party hatreds, begin to understand that the government bill will pus, and it is interesting to watehthe misgiving as it gradually dawns upon their minds. The meeting at Sheffield is made specially interesting by the incident that the last of the dubious members returned to his ditty. Mr. Roebuck has been an erratic item in the divisions. Tear'em has taken to straying out o' nights in his old age, and was as likely to map at his friends' legs in the dark as at his enemies'. Where he has been nobody knows but himself ; but we are not sorry to see him come back, at any rate, to his proper kennel at Sheffield, with his tail just a little tucked in between his legs, and with apparently a strange acquaintance or two formed, but no great harm done. The Star counsels the liberal party to accept Mr. Roebuck's ardour even if somewhat nnlooked for, and to regard his continued faithfulness to the cause in which he early fought as an encouraging sign of the times. PRUSSIA. AND AOSTILL The political audacity of Count Biemarek's despatch, which explicitly upholds the rights of King Christian and disavows all the principles on which Germany entered into the Danish war, is described by the Tillia as so 'zanier, as to need no comment. The latest correspondence appears more pacific in character, but the cause of the quarrel is not likely to be re moved. Preemie desires the Duchies, and has said openly that they shall be annexed. This has been announced in the most unmistakable manner both by Count Bismasek and General ManteuffeL We may presume that it is equally the intention of Austria to prevent such a usur pation, end to maintain her own dignity, the rights of the Confederation, and the succession of an independent house. It is difficult to see bow snob a dispute is to be arranged. It is stated that Austria would not be unwilling to ream to a " programme" originated a year ago by Prussia, to the effect that the Prince of Augustenburg should be the civil ruler, while the whole military and naval authority should belong to Plumb'. But such an arrangement would differ little from annexation. The language of the Austrian government gives the Poet •o additional reason for supposing that the peace of Europe will not be disturbed, er that the dispute between Audits and Prussia will be amicably arranged in the Council Hall at Frankfort.
