LONDON, TUESDAY, DEC. 10. AT the Conference at Paris, in 1856, the British Plenipotentiary raised a discussion re specting the beet means of terminating the differ ences that arise from time to time between the Powers, and are capable of becoming causes of war. The Ministers of France and Russia, and, indeed, of all the States represented, strongly supported the reasons set forth by one of the representatives of England, in favourof the substitutiou of international arbitration in the first instance for rough and ready resort to war. Lord PALNILISSTON was then at the head of the administration of thin country, and it is highly to his credit that he should have directed our Ministers at the Congress to initiate a proposal worthy of • great Christian people. After some discussion, on the 14th April, the 23rd protocol was adopted without any dissent, containing amongst other things the following " The Plenipotentiaries of all the countries " represented in Congress do not hesitate to ex " press in the name of their Govenimenta the "confident hope that the States, between which a " serious disagreement shall hereafter arise, shall, " before appealing to force, have recourse (so far " as circumstances may admit) to the good offices " of some friendly Power. "MM. the Plenipotentiaries express their ex " pectation that the Governments not represented " in the Congress will associate themselves with " the policy which has inspired the declaration " recorded in the present protocol." We have here a great and comprehensive principle laid down, from which let us hope few Governments of Christendom will ever show a disposition to depart. International law, if it means anything, means the mutual imposition of salutary and merciful rules of conduct, which serve se checks upon the exercise of overbearing force, and defences against systematic oppression or occasional surprise. Its rules are the embodiment of valuable principles, principles of humanity and justice; they require, however, as all laws do, adaptation and development, according to the grow ing wants of the time. But their capability of en forcement is measurable in every case bythe degree of assent they command from public opinion ; and public opinion, in its wisest and most comprehensive sense, seldom errs, because it seldom fails to reflect the instinctive sense of truth and right. The re solutions above quoted are eminently deserving of remembrance at the present moment. At the end of a great war in which we were victorious, Great Britaiu, far from exulting in her strength or her encases, desired to make a votive offering to Christendom of • portion of that imperious will upon which no other Power could undertake to impose the limits without her consent. She offered, spontaneously, to forego the right of exact ing sudden retribution for offence or wrong, in viting her equals and allies on their parts to do the same. Her good example mimed to prove conta gious. All the chief Powers of Europe signified promptly, and without reserve, their concurrence, and bound themselves, so far as solemn declarations in the fare of the world can bind civilized States, not to make war thenceforth upon one another, without having recourse in the first instance to the peaceful arbitrament of some neutral neighbour. Nor did they atop there. The l'owers which signed the protocol at Paris, though forming a decisive preponderance of Christian nations, had no desire to limit the beneficent influence of their decisions, but took care, in most explicit terms, to invite the adhesion of all other States, and to in clude them, though unrepresented at the Congress, within the beneficent range of their propositions. The Government of the United States took an early opportunity of signifying its full appreciation of the utility and humanity of what had been dross, and its readiness, ou all points save one, to es dors, the Protocols of 1850. We have frequently had occasion to discuss, upon its own merits, the nature of the reservation thus made, and it is not necessary to do so now. Our object in recalling public recollection to transactions five years old is to point out tho way which the good sense and good feeling of our own Govern ment has happily provided betimes for the honourable solution of disputes with other Powers, without having recourse in the first instance to the sword. The difference now pend ing with the United States is the first of serious moment that has arisen between us and any other Power since the deliberate adoic tion of the principle of international arbitration to which we have referred. For the sake of America herself, and of the moral influence we desire that she should always possess, we hope that she will waste little time or temper in extenuating the act of the captain of the San Jacinto. Goo knows she has neither time nor temper to spare just now for idle and irritating controversies. All her energies are needed to maintain the great position whom stability is threatened by the revolt of the slaveholding class of her citizens ; and most reluctantly should we be drawn into contention of any kind with her in this day of her trouble. But if contention there is to be, let it be one of inter national litigation, not of fratricidal force. Both parties are morally bound, as we have shown, to seek the intermediary good offices of some friendly Power. Happily there is a precedent for the adoption of this course by England and America. At the end of the war, in 1814, some (I WilatiOna were left nnsettled, on others a specific agreement wee conic to, and i n that which related to the dis- P THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, DECE pitted boundary line provision was specially made for a settlement by the following terms : " Whereas neither part of the high lands lying due " north from the river St. Croix designated in the " former treaty of peace between the two Powers " ell the north-west angle of Nova Scotia nor the " north-westmost head of the Connecticut river " have yet been ascertained, and whereas part of " the boundary lines between the two Powers " has not yet been surveyed ; it is agreed that for " these several purposes two commissioners shall " be appointed, sworn, and authorised to examine " and decide upon the said claims, according to " such evidence as shall be laid before them by his "Britannic Ms., V. , TY and the United States re " spectivoly ; and in the event of their differing, " both parties agree to abide by the decision of " such friendly Sovereign or State as shall be " mutually chosen." Here, then, we have the wise and wholesome stipulation which in private life is found so often effectual to avert quarrels imported into the public obligations of the two countries nearly half a century ago. It would be a sad and sorry com mentary upon our boasted progress in civilization if a disposition were shown on either side to neg lect a precedent so applicable under almost any circumstances, but which is peculiarly in point when the question at issue is one of public and national law. If Lord CAMTLZRZAOH in 1814 was wise and just enough to frame such a clause as that we have quoted, are we less likely in 1861 to take a course of moderation, dignity, and justice, ' under the advice of Lord Itusszi.i. ; or shall we do our American kinsmen the wrong of supposing that they, who were willing to abide by the award of a friendly Power when their population and wealth wore not a fifth of what they are now, will refuse to have recourse to a like expedient for the settlement of a contested claim of maritime right? Even before the Conference of 1856 it would have been calumnious to impute such folly to either Government ; but since the development of the arbitration principle at the Congress of Paris, it is impossible for either to reject the specific applica tion of the rule in the pending controversy, and we should almost say it is incredible that the con troversy should be suffered to proceed further without its adoption. fbe Court.

" We have received news from Warsaw," says the Dibate of to-day, " of a most painful event. The administrator of the diocese of the city, M. Bialobreski, has been aenteucel to ten years' trans portation to Siberia. It will be remembered that his offence is the order to close the churches after the deplorable events of the 18th ult. The private accounts which we have received from Warsaw only add to the odiousness of this act. The prelate who has been thus sentenced is an old man seventy eight years of age, sick and infirm. He has already been treated with such rigour that a bed has been refused to him in prison, where he has been in every particular treated according to the strictest iiyirne of the prison. We need not say that, in his present state of suffering, ten years' transporta tion to Siberia is to the venerable bishop equivalent to a sentence of death." The Official Journal of Warsaw contains the con demnation of 19 young men to service in the army of Siberia, and in the terrible disciplinarycompanies, for the merest trifles. One of them " tore down from a street corner the notice forbidding the public to assemble before the churches ;" another "echoed a placard on the wall of the cemetery announcing the state of siege ;" a third is thus sentenced because, "in reading the official placards, he spat on the ground and made a gee. ture of contempt." The disciplinary companies, or military bagnies, form the most terrible punishment which is known in Russia ; " Kam schatka, the mines," says the Dibati, " are nothing in comparison." Muniteur's bulletin repeats it without comment. These feeble inferences in favour of Frank con currence in the unity of Italy, are, however, in my mind rendered infinitely more feeble still by the last item in the Constitationnets column of figures, whioh shows that the present army of occupation in Rome consists of 19,000 men, precisely the same force (in round numbers) which took Rome by siege against Garibaldi and Maszini in 1849. At no intervening period since that year has the army of invasion (for that is a more correct desig nation of it than occupation) been in anything like such force. f.O 1858,1857, and 1858, the strength was only about 5,000, and last year it was but 7,500. The oast of the occupation of 1861 is stated in official figures at 9,500,000 fr., against only two or three millions a year for several years past. It cannot be said that this enormous addi tion to the French invading army was necessary to preserve order in Rome,because there was much greater risk of an entente there in 1859 and 1880, when the surrounding states were throwing off the yoke of their local tyrants, than there has ever been in 1861. As to any fear of lAustrian or Spanish intervention, or an attack upon Rome by the King of Italy's troops, the French flag and a corporal's guard would have been as adequate a protection as 19,000 men. It is therefore most difficult not to suppose—however much we may hope that even within the last few days better thoughts may be uppermost in the councils of Frasee—that the vast and sudden aug mentation of the French army in Rome this year had its origin in motives quite foreign to Italian interests. The Patric to-night cavils at the Condi tutioniters figures, not denying those to which I have above referred, but arguing questions of com pound interest, and assuming that all the men in garrison at Rome would have been in active service in France, bad they not been wanted there. To morrow M. de la Guerronniere's journal promises to show the Constifutionnel " what it would coat France to abandon Rome." This calculation, in such a quarter, may perhaps be interesting. The rise in Consols produced a considerable effect on the Bourse, which now closely sympathises with London. Route rose 10c. for cash and 20c. for ac count, closing at 67fr. 50e. and 67fr. 70c. Mobilier rose 6fr. 25c., and the Italian Loan 10c. The Or leans Railway fell 6fr. 25c.; and Lyons, 3fr. 7k. ; but the other lines were higher ; Northern rose 2fr. 50c. ; Eastern, Gfr. 25c. ; and Western, Bfr. 7k. THE PRUSSIAN ELECTIONS. The result of the elections on the 6th constitute a remarkable triumph for the liberals. At Berlin not a single candidate of the conservative party was elected, and the Councillor of Justice Wal deck, who belongs to the extreme democratic party, was elected in two districts. The other successful candidates at Berlin are Mg. Schulze, Diesterweg, Virchon (twice), Twesten (known by his duel with M. de Manteuffel, aide-do-camp of the King), Kubue, and RiedeL It is remarkable that at Konigsberg, the place of the coronation, K Simeon, the former president of the chamber, has been replaced by K Schulze, who has been also elected at Berlin, and who is a very decided democrat. HUNGARY. The Austrian Government has received another check in Hungary. The High Court of the kingdom, composed exclusively of men attached to the dynasty, has protested against the rescript relating to mili tary jurisdiction, whose mission and duties it de clares are incompatible with a state of things which is the moat flagrant violation of the constitution and laws of the country. (acorn's timarArs.) ITALY. _ TURIN, Dec. 9. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day Baron Rica soli announced that the Ministers will give an ex planation on the subjects which have been brought forward by some members of the opposition. In speaking of the Venetian emigration he said, " We have 12,000 Roman and Venetian emigrants, of whom 5,000 receive pecuniary aid from the government." Della Roven justified the prohibition which he issued in Sicily against the public collection of sig natures to a protest against the occupation of Rome by the French. Signor Mellant spoke at great length against the ministry. A letter being, however, delivered to him while speaking, he suddenly discontinued his speech and sent the letter to Baron Riess°li, who read it to the house. It was a correspondence, not yet published, addressed from Naples to a French journal in Turin, and asserted that General Della Marmora had, in a recent report, requested the ministry to alter their policy in Naples, or he should be obliged to follow the example of General Cialdini by tendering his resignation. Baron Bicasoli declared this news to be abso lutely false, a statement which was received with applause by the Chamber. He also censured the systematic invention of false news, intended to have the effect of embarrassing the government in its external relations. NAPLES, Dgc. 9.

The inhabitants are taking to flight. HOLLAND. ANSTERDAM, Dim 9. The Bank of Amsterdam has raised its rate of discount from Si to 4 per cent. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom out OW PARIS, MONDAY Enznra. The Emperor and Empress left Compiegne this afternoon to take up their residence at the Tuileries for the winter season. They passed along the Boulevards, with a military escort, between 3 and 4 o'clock. The part of the Tuileries which they usually occupy being under repair and half pulled down, the apartments in the Pavillon Marmon, at the Rue de Rivoli end of the Palace, have been fitted up for their reception. It was thought that M. Troplong's report on IL Fouid's amendments of the constitution would hays been presented to the Senate to-day, but he is not yet ready, and the meeting is postponed till Monday in next week The debate will not begin till some days later. The Patric , having doubtless got its cue, pub lishes an article, equally opposing the ides of an immediate dissolution of the Corps Legialatif and the proposal that it should be allowed to live to the utmost term of its natural life. The one course, it asys, would show want of confidence in the depu ties, and the other would be perhaps " incon venient." It proceeds to allele reasons—excellent, no doubt, but too official to be interesting—in favour of the golden mean which it advocates—. namely, a dissolution after an early session. That is, I believe, the course which the Emperor hag determined upon. The Debate seems to think that the publication by the Conetitution•el of the heavy bill of costs incurred by the occupation of Rome during the last thirteen years, is a symptom " which the defenders of the temporal power would do well to reflect upon," that France is getting tired of the occupation. I hope it may b 3 so. The Constitu tionnel to-day countenances this idea to • small extent by a paragraph reminding the Patrie that it was wrong when it said on Nov. 25 that France bad "repudiated" Baron Ricasoli's offer to the Pope. The Conatit•tionnel asserted the next day that France had repudiated nothing, but merely thought the presentation of M. Ricasoli's memorial "inopportune." That is now the very word used in the Italian Prime Minister's speech, and the RUSSIA. Le Nord publishes the text of an imperial ordi nance dated 12th (24th) November, creating a council of ministers, and says : Though the system it inangonAss be still incomplete, it must be roasidered as making an epoch in Ramie, and °pee ing • new era. Henceforth there are in that country, not minister. only but • ministry, which mercenarily implies two i facts of high mportance, responsibility, sod that a joint responsibility. Let these two fact. be accomplished roe. scientiously, and Russia will have passed, without noise and without troubles, through the first and most difficult stages in the path of self-government, the approach to which has been so perilous and terrible for many other tuitions. The priociple of ministerial responsibility cannot exist to any substantial purpose without the representative system. The two are bound together, and complementary one of the other. In fact, ow correspondent informs us that the Council of the Empire the highest consultative institution of the reamaroby, Is about to undergo a funda mental reorpnisatioe. That assembly, the attributions of which would be milarged by the contemplated measure, would themieforth porno a legislative character ; a certain publicity would be given to its debates by means et the prase, and new menthe's, taken from without the boundary of the official and bureaucratic; world, would be admitted into it. THE CAPTURE OF MR. LAURENS AND THE BRIG MERCURY. In the arguments brought forward by American writers to justify the boarding of the Trent, the capture of Mr. Henry Laurens is confidently ap pealed to, the allegation being male that be, being an envoy of the American Congress, was taken out of a Dutch vessel, the Mercury, by Captain Keppel. This last statement is essential to the case, as the parallel can only be made out by showing that he was seized on board a neutral ship. Mr. George Sumner, iu his letter which we printed last Wed nesday, founds his argument on the supposed fact that the Mercury was Dutch. Mr. Sumner's words are— During the war of the Revolution, Henry Laurens, former President of Congress, was sent as minister to Holland, with instructions to secure the recognition of our independence, to conclude a treaty, and to negotiate a loan in that country. He remained a long time at Charleston, seeking Mein* to reach his destination, and finally, in February, 1780, went on board the Adriana, a fast-riling brigantine, the master of which engaged, in spite of the British fleet, to carry him to Martinique. It was not until August that ha took pump for Holland in a Dutch packet, the Mercury. In a letter to Congress, written on board the British frigate Vessel, 14th September, 1780. Laurens describes the capture of the packet when three days out—the seisure of his papers, hie arrival on board the Vestal at St. John's, Newfoundland, and the order of the admiral commanding to send him, his secretary, and the captain of the packet aa prisoners to England. Holland was then • neutral power. Mr. Sumner's statements and reasoning have been frequently repeated during the last fortnight, and last of all, by our Boston correspondent. They have, however, been refuted by English autho rities, showing that the Mercury was not a Dutch but an American ship. It is very desirable, how ever, that the truth should be established by American testimony, and happily this can be done. A correspondent of the Boston Courier communicates to that paper extracts from a printed copy of " A Narrative of the Capture of Henry Laurens," purporting to be written by himself, which settles conclusively the question of the nationality of the vessel on board of which Mr. Laurens was when captured. Mr. Laurens says I was oOluatesiosed by Coegrew to wowed to Hollaad, and eedeareer to borrow money weber* in Europe, on account al the United Stake of America. There befog none of the frigates of the United States in port, I embarked at Philadelphia, the 14th of August, 1780, or board the brigantine Mercury, a packet belonging to Congrue, commanded by Captain William Pickle. ; a vessel with good acomumodatioo, and esteemed an exixdlent sea-boat, as fast • sailer as an y in America. On the and of September, st the first dawn ot day, a sail in sight was announced far to leeward. Captain Pickles put the Mercury clew upon the wind, and had he continued to don the strange sail would not hem come up with us ; but hr altered his opinion and put her before the wind, her worst sailing, especially as she wm badly ballasted with sand. The weasel in sight altered her course also, and about tuna o'clock began to are her bow gum. At eleven o'clock her shot went over the Mercury, and two between her meta. Captain Pickles then haukil dorm the American flog. The pursuer came up, and proved to be the Vestal, British frigate, 21 guns, commanded by Captain George Koppel. _ - It will be seen by Mr. Laurens' own account that he embarked from Philadelphia in an Ame rican packet, and not from Martinique in a Dutch packet. There is, therefore, no wallel between the cue of the Mercury and that of the Trent. We bad the satisfaction of knowing this before : we have now the additional satisfaction of knowing that the Americans know it. Au American paper says :—"Taking Quebec garrisons sod the Upper Town into just coondera non, it may be deemed one vast fortrcas—can- Don, eoldiers, shot, and shell meeting you at every turn. Even old cacaos are used as posts in common in Upper Town. It is to all latest. and perpaem • complete fortification, and to have a just 000teptio• or its strength and impregnability it most be seen. The militia of Quebec, like the militia throughout Canada, are meth:tn. ally drilling." IR 10, 1861. Luta:JuraNr FAIRFAX AND THE BOARDING OP TEI TRENT. At the dins& which was given, at Boston, to Commander Wilkes, Lieutenant Fairfax, to a tout in his bower, responded ma follows : " I thank you, gentlemen, for this cordial welcome. lam in heart a Virginian, but I am a native of the United States, and owe allegiance to the government of the United States. (Loud applanae.) When this difficulty, which has now culminated in open war, was pending, I was on the coast of Africa, where, of cons, I could not enter into the merits of the case ; but, as a Southern man, I that I would give all my energies to sustain the Stars and Stripes. (Cheers.) When the question was presented to my mind whether I should ideality myself with my state and withdraw from the United States service, I could see nothing but the United States government, which I had pledged myself to support. (Applause.) Sticking to that text, I readily arrived at the nu-lesion that I had but one duty to perform, and that was the duty I owed to the United States' government, of which I had been for twenty (anywise an bumble representative. When I sew those who were seeking the disruption of this union turning their eyes to the two great powers of Europe—England and Femm— es their only hope, it seemed to me a pitiable thing that men who had contended that uo foreign power should put its foot on this continent should now be so ready to welcome their aid, and I felt the full force of the obligations which we all owe to the go vemment Captain Wilkes put me forward in the position which has called forth the expansion of your Iseip to night, and I take little credit to myself for the part I took in the act which seems to have met the approval of the go vernment and of the people of the country. It was by oo means an agreeable duty to go on board the Treat and arrest my old Irian, Mr. Mason, whose family is connected with mine by marriage, though we are not, as some of the papas have said, ernides. I knew pretty well what I had to do, and I knew soon after I got aboard the veas that I should have something more to contend with than the four gentlemen I was to take with me to the San Jacinto. Mn. Slidell and her daughters were than. They were womanly and ladylike ; but they were under a groat deal of excite ment, and you may well imagine that they gave utterance to a good many not very ptomain expressions. I extended to them the courtesy, agreeably to the instrutiess of tt t: id ale a Wilkes, of a panne in the San Jacinto,whin they ' and they were permitted to go on their way to Europe, I made se Ant week of the matter as I could. (Laughter and aprause.) There was nothing at all meritorious in what did. I introduoed myself to the captain of the Trent, who received me properly ; but when I in formed him of my mission, be demurral considerably to 'my proposition. Seeing Messrs. Mason and Slidell not far off, I told him it was not necessary to insist upon what I bed at first demanded, an examination of his passenger list, as I had tangible evidence that my friends were on board. f then addressed Messrs. Mason and Slidell and told them my mission. They intimated that they would not go unless force were used. I then told them I was prepared for that.— (ebeers)—and in a short time I had sufficient force on board to impress every one in the ship with that fact. Lieutenant ChM, of the San Jacinto, came on board, and took quite as active a part in the transaction u Lieutenant Fairfax did. He was rather apprehensive that the ladies and the mob would overcome me, and presented six very inoffensive marines on board, to be made offensive if neotuary. (Ap plause.) That gave rise to the report about a charge of tW marines with fixed bayonets on the ladies. Messrs. Mason and Slidell conducted themselves with a good deal of pro priety under the circumstances. Mr. Mason was perfectly courteous throughout. Mr. Slidell, as we all know, has inane crustiness in his disposition, but it must be remem bered that he had much more to embarrass Lim, having his wife and family with him ; therefore it was more difficult to impress him with the belief that I intended to carry out the purposes of my visit. He said he would not go unless I employed more force than I seemed willing to show; but by the aid of the °Moen the gentlemen were removal on board the San Jacinto, where we were made very comfortable. With the spirit of men brought up in naval or military life we felt &sines to make them feel as little as possible the discora• forts of imprisonment. On arriving here I was instructed , to escort them to Fort Warren, and introduce them to Col. , Mammon, to spare them the mortification of being in the hands of the United States' Marshal. I took leave of of them with those feelings which strike roe as per- 4 fectly natural tuner the circumstances. When we were about to part, Mr. Mason said he could not express how much gratitude he felt for the attention and kindness he had received. (Applause.) I feel the full force of your kind exhibition of feeling to-night ; but I take no credit at all to ' myself—it belongs entirely to Captain Wilkes. It affords me great pleasure to be here, for lain no stranger to Barton. o I went to school in Jamaica Plain, and I have often, as a boy, been to Faneuil Hall, and listened to Mr. Everett and the other great men of Massachusetts. As I stand here to- ' night, my memory goes back to the time when our fathers of Virginia and Maseachusette were boon companions, and made good cheer in the city of Boston ; and it is with a great deal of satisfaction that I receive your welcome here to-night with Captain Wilkes." (Cheap) REV. NEW-VAN HALL ON THE AFFAIR OF THE TREAT. At an assembly of nearly 3,000 persons, chiefly working men, held last evening in Money , The Bev. Nswesx HALL, in referring?* ha al subject of r : id "At the lecture before the Young Men's AM AIII=OI2, at Exeter Hall, last Tuesday, I am informed that ' Rule Britannia' was performed on the organ, and rapturously encored. (` So it weal 11 the audience simply meant to express feelings of patriotism I should heartily have concurred with them. No doubt it was so. But some people seem to imagine that Britannia has a right to rule the waver—that the ocean is her freehold—that she may do I what she pleases there—and that other nations must not be allowed to not as in • manner which is quite justifiable in ourselves. Need I nay that such a sentiment is most unjust and monstrous? (Hear.) If this were carried out we should always be at war with every commercial nation of the world. No, there are certain laws and customs to regulate affairs on the ere. By these we most abide as much as others ; and therefore the first thing to be done is to dis cover what is the law—whether it has been broken—end what can be done to secure its observance in future. Let us then regard this questicn as one needing celmuees of judg meat, not violence and passion. Let the case be delibe rately argued. If America meant not defiance but law, let us first ascertain what the law is—not demanding our interpretation as the true one, not admitting theirs—but referring the dispute to an impartial referee. (Cheers, and • voice—' That's good.') But it may be urged in =for violent measures—' Must we not at once to the honour of our flee What! is our flag of so recent invention, with so poor • history, enriched with so few memories of glory, that it will be dis honoured by a short and dignified delay? Dishonoured by not at once fluttering defiance against the freeman of the North ; but would it not be more dishonoured by floating side by ski. with the flag of slave-traders—(repeated cheers)—slave-breeders, slave-drivers? If there must be one or other dishooour, Oh, spare us this latter ! Neves, Dever let the meteor flag of Britain be hoisted on the side of tyranny and oppression. (Great cheering.) Suppose you are watching two men fighting, and one of them, all excited and irritable, chooses to be provoked by your looks, and shakes his fist in your face between the roue& (Langbter and cheers.) Would it be brave in you at none CO fight him ? No! Bravery would my, ' Wait I a bit, my fine fellow--you've enough on your bands at present. I'm too much of • man to accept your challenge just now. Finish affairs with your anta int—two at once isn't fair. You may think better of it perhaps by and by.' Now, I ask you, would not that be braver than at once accepting such a ma's ide fiance' (Cheers.) But, supposing arbitration fa ll,, and we cannot agree on this question, must we then figh t! I have been astonished at the opinion widely ci rculated that we must either have redress or retaliation. Is there not a third alterative—forgiveness? (Hear, hear.) If for the future the law can be made plain, and obedience to it secured, may we not pass over the affront to ourselves? Is every dispute between nations, if sot amicably arranged, to lead to war? Is nothing to be overlooked? What is thelaw of Christ? ' Forbes:leg ono soother, and forgiving the another, If any man have a quarrel against any, even as God forgave yea, so ales do ye.' We feel it our duty to act on this law in our individual capacity. Is it less our dirty as citizens, and as nations ? Alas, Christian nations seem to think they may do as communities what would be wished as individuals. (Hoar, hear.) But there are not two rules of cooduct. If I am to forbear and forgive ea regards you, my family must do so to your family, my town towards your town, my na tio° towards your nation. What ha' our religion done for us as • country, if we are to weal as hastily and angrily to the sword to settle a quarrel se if we heard • Sab bath bell, and never had seen a bible, sod never listened to the gospel of peace. (Cheers.) Oh that God, i n whose hand are the hearts of all, would dispute the people and the rulers of both countries to peaceable counsels. (Cheers.) I beseech you ; make earnest prayer to Him. I observe with pleasure that a great meeting is convened in Exeter ball for prayer seat Theasday—the day Won our govern meat despatch will reach Washington. Let us pray that it may be received in a conciliatory spirit. But not only so. Let us pray that we may be conciliatory, that we may be patient and forbearing, and gentle, even if their reply be otherwise, remembering the command, forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have • quarrel against any. I fear I have detained you too long but the importance of the subject I trust will be • ri. , , dent apology. (Cheers and' Go on.') Ones more, working men, I beseech you, do what you can to allay the un reasonable, unchristian war spirit that now prevails. Ponder on what I have said, and, inlopmention to much that you hew and read, let my arguments, if you deem them valid, persuade you to do your utmost for the preserva tion of peace. I 111111 not one of those who condemn war under all circumstances—but I consider in this case war would be most wicked. I am not one of those who advocate peace at any piles—but I do earnestly plead for peace now, and I ask you all to help. Let each do .what we can to roll back the tide et =passion. Let us listen to the earnest pleadings I can imagine the fair spirits of hurnasity. et freedom, of religion, with weeping eyes and 10110 trembling with emotion, are now, amidst the Ma ad angry threats and warlike preparation, addressing SW runs and our heart. Oh, by all the untold homes of Cuewer —by the tenfold terribleuees of • MY beberess re—by the sufferings of a negro race, who look on with alarm lest you should join their oppressors to rivet their chains—by the aspirations of the long down-trodden CPliHungary and Italy, whose enemi es w ill exu l t if of Hungary champions of freedom contend with each other instead of making common cause against tyranny—by the interests of the world, which will look on aghast to see its civilissre and evangelists engaged in mortal combat instead of prosecuting, in holy rirall, enterprises of benevolence —by the principles of Christianity—by the example of Jaws—by the law of God—l beseech you cut in your in fluence on the side of pesos, and loudly proclaim, We will have no war with America.'"

Despatches were received yesterday g the Colonial-office from the GOVOYDOII of the Note American Provisoes sad British Columbia. The next advicee from America may be expected by one of the three following steamers, which were to leave on the 30th of November—the City of Washington. from New York for Liverpool; the Saionia, from New York to Hamburg, rid Southampton ; and the Norwegian, from Portland to Liverpool. The City of Washington and the Baxonia, which may be expected about Thursday or Friday, will bring only two days' later news ; but the Nor• wegian, which may be looked for this evening or to-morrow, will touch at Cape Puce, and most probably bring telegram, from New York to the 3rd of December, with an outline of the President's Message. The next subsequent 'Warners will be the Asia, from New York direct on the 4th of De cember, and the Fulton on the 7th. The announcement of the destruction of the Harvey Birch was taken out by the Quebec and Montreal steamer of the 2lst of November, and the Norwegian, therefore, will perhaps bring accounts of the reception of that news at New York. The NationaliVs of Turin states that General CioMini has been absent from the Chamber for the last two days, owing to an indisposition, for which he has been Ucd A letter from Rome eaye :—" The paternal go vernment of the Vatican him just issued two edicts of rather • peculiar description. One, which forbids tailors, tailor eases, and milliners to work on fete-ilsys, and the keepers of ' ristoranti ' and sating-houses to serve any food except that of the most 'emigre ' kind on those holy days. To appro. date the inconvenience of this despotic order, it must be remembered that for the next six months there will be on an average two of these fasts out of each week, besides the ninckle fast they ea' Sunday.' The second order relates to the art of photography,' and so great are the pains to suppress this useful scienoe, and so lengthy the clauses of the police regulations on the subject, that the New Zes• lender' (supposing him to have come to Rome to try his prentice hand on the Coliseum) might well suppose it to be the' black art' REPRESENTATION or NOTTINORANL—A private meeting of the heads of the conservatives a as held yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of naming a candidate, and a gentleman connected with the Vide of the town was men tioned. It is understood to be Mr. William Tldmu, an extensive lace manufacturer, of Carrington, near Not tingham. Emir Wozczarzaartras ELacriow.—The Speaker having given notice el his intention to issue the writ for East WOrcestershire, vice Mr. J. H. H. Foley, deceased, it is expected that the writ will be received by the tinder sheriff of Worcestershire on Saturday next, and that he will fix Monday, the 23rd inst., for the election. Mr. H. F. Ver non, the only candidate, is still on his wedding tour on the Continent, but is expected home in a few days. There will be no opposition to his return. ST. TROILUS'S HOSPITAL AND THE CRARING-tROIS RAILWAY.—Mr. John Stewart, of Liverpool, the umpire duly nominated and appointed by the Board of Trade, has by his award, dated the 7th of December inst., settled and determined that the compensation to be paid by the Char ing-cross Railway Company, as well for the purchase in tee simple of the whole of the St. Thomas's Hospital and pre mises with the appurtenances as for the damage sustained, or to be sustained, by the governors, by reason of the exam tion by the said company of the works authorised by the Charincerces Railway Act, 1850, and the enemies by the said compan of the powers of the said act and of the acts incorporated'therewith, shall be the sum of 298,0001. The claim, it will be remembered, was 750,0001. A FEDERAL PRIVATEER.—The Boston Deihl eertiser gives the following account of a steamer fitted out at that port,which is to operate as a Federal privateer in the Eastern Ocean :—" The propeller Pembroke, Captain John A. Cunningham, proce ed ed on a trial trip down thz, harbour and to the north-eastward on Wednesday last, with her new boiler, which proved that with steam enough she can go as fast as a vestal of her sire o ught to go—say, ten miles an hour. She has been rigged anew as a topsail schooner, or a hermaphrodite brig, and when under all sail proved to be very stiff. She sails on Monday for Java, where she will ship her propeller, and proceed to Shanghai under steam and Canvass. She is armed with two Schenckel rifle guns, and carries o commis sion' under the late law , as a letter of marque. It is under stood that, at the suggestion of her owners, several similar commissions have been forwarded by the government to our minister is China, and that measures will be takes by the next Congress towable Mr. Burlinghame to adjudicate on pinta; or recaptured vessels in the ports of Chins. This is probably the first Antal.= steamer destined for China going out under such a OOMMillI100. " ADULTERATED TOBACCO.—The Bradford Inland Revenue oaken have been making a raid on the prcinisee of two tobacconists in Bradford, and their foray appears to have been perfectly successful. In one case, the tobacco nist was also a manufacturer, and both at the manufactory and at the shop, rhubarb leave. were found mixed up . with the tobacco. In the second seizure, lAolb. weight of tobacco was found, all adulterated, though the adulteration varied from one to ten per cent. In each case, the tine inflicted was rd., but the real offence all cheating her Majesty's exchequer, and not that of cheating her Majesty's lieges. The compound might have been con sidered pure ' weed," whether adulterated or nut. A man who supplied one of the defendants with the rhubarb leaves was fined 50&, as it was nonsidered he was a participator in the fraud on the revenue. • SHOCK IND BITICIDEi; ST.
