The Imparcial has no doubt that the Carlists are completing their organisation with the in tention of trying their fortunes in the spring. The general belief is that the city of Bayonne will be their centre of operations, and the Imparcial adds that another meeting of Federals and Carlists is to be held there in a few days. The report of an understanding between these two parties is mentioned also by the Iberia, which states . that the province of Lerida is very much agitated by the movement. The Epoca is very unwilling to give credence to what it terms a "monstrous alliance." The Carlists held a very numerous meeting at Barbastro on the 13th, to which members of the party came from seVeral other Provinces. In Santander there is also a base of opera tions, and every day there is fresh intelligence of seizure 3 of arms and ammunition in the Basque Provinces and the north of Spain. The language of Senor Rivero in the Cortes a few days since showed that the Government were fully acquainted with the increasing strength of the m9ve ment. "At this moment," he said, "under the sh:. , dow of Liberal institutions, there i 3 being prey` gyred and organized a great Carlist conspiracy." PrUf.ting ay the respect shown for individual rights these men, said the Minister, were under the shelter of the Constitution pre paring their arms to attack it ; but the Council of Ministers had decided that the Carlists had the right to form v. hat associations and to hold what meetings they chose. The Government were resolved not to violate the Constitution of the country, and though there were men who under its shelter prepared to destroy it, when the moment lor action came all the Liberals would unite under the same Con stitution to conquer the traitors on the field of battle. The Epoca strongly disapproVes of this pro gramme. It acknowledges that it is democratic in prin ciple and generous, and does honour to the Ministers as individuals, but it reflects little credit on them as Ministers, as statesmen, as patriots, and as men of law. The public peace should be preserved at all cost, and civil war is the greatest of evils, The Government is bound to make every effort to assist the action of the judicial tribunals, to protect the general interest, so that the lives and the property of honourable and peacful citizens should not be exposed for six months to j perils and disasters like those of Malaga, Jerez, Valencia, and Sara gossa. A letter from Bayonne states that the Carlists have introduced a quantity of arms and warlike stores. The following arrangements /are said to have been made. The brother of Don Carlos, Don Alfonso, is to exercise the functions of Vicercky of Catalonia, Aragon, and Valencia ; while Cabrera is to be the Generalissimo of the Forces and Grand Admiral of Castille. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. The Eastern Budget says that the Russian diplomatists disapprove of the concentration of Turkish troops in Bos nia and Herzegovina, and have appealed to the other Powers to induce the Porte to withdraw the troops. The measure was decided upon at Constantinople when the Dalmatian insurrection was at its height, but, owing to the proverbial slowness of the Turkish Administration, the forces did not enter Bosnia till the insurrection was over. This was known at St. Petersburg, but Russia wished to take credit before Europe as a guardian of peace —espe cially at a time when she is negotiating a loan in London— and also to remind the Eastern Christians that she is still their protector. Thus, even if her proposals should be rejected by all the Powers, both of the above objects will have been attained. THE ERA. OP MURDER. The New York Times of the 2nd of February refers to the criminal records of the month of January, and asks if New York will be driven to Lynch law, for neither life nor property are safe in these days. The natural effects of the judiciary, the bar, and juries playing into the hands of the enemies of society are shewing themselves in full force. The most cruel murder is for gotten in three days, and the bands of ruffians which infest the city fully appreciate the fact and take every advantage of it. The police are powerless to cope with this array of crime, and lose all heart and confidence when they see some well-known gaol-bird set free by a judge with whom he happens to have influence. The news papers do not report half the cases of robbery with violence which occur in the public streets. The victims crawl home, and the matter is hushed up. The streets are badly lit, the gas is a mere pretence, policemen are few and far between, and thieves find no difficulty whatever in making good their escape. Frightful examples of dark deeds ara, to be found in the list of crimes for the past month, and the catalogue, imperfect as it is, presents a deplorable pic ture of the state of society, and calls for the earnest atten tion of all men possessing influence in public affairs. THE CANADIAN TARIFF. The Canadians have found it useless to expect Recip rocity from America, and have resolved to resent them in the discriminations that have been made against them in the tariff of the United States. The feeling of the mercantile classes on this point was shevrn by the resolutions passed by the Board of Trade of London in the district of Ontario. It was declared that the hostile tariff of the United States should be met with a tariff of the same tendency, and that the Canadian tariff should be so readjusted as to afford incidental pro tection to such Canadian manufactures as required it. THE GEORGIAN LEGISLATURE. Accounts from Atlanta, 2Gth January, state that the reign of the Georgian Obstructionists was brought to a close by the election of Mr. Dl`Whorter as Speaker of the House of Representatives. On the 31st, both Houses met and a long protest was read from Bryant against the legality of the organisation. A committee was to inform General Bullock that both Houses were ready for busi ness. General Terry, commander of the military district, proved himself to be a sagacious statesman in the organisa tion of the two Houses. LIS7 FOR THE USE OF VISITORS TO 111 E METROPOLIS. MUSEUMS.
