THE COLD ON THE Junk MOUNTAINS.—Another
death from cold has taken place in the French nett 'of the
mountains of the Jura, making, the local journals state,
the eleventh in that district since the beginning of the
winter, A man named Paget, of Champeaux, who had
been on business at Arbors, was found three nights ago
lying senseless in the snow at a short distance from
Poligny ; some gendarmes immediately went to the
spot, but on moving him they found that his clothes
were frozen so hard that they broke like glass. On,
however, being ,c overed with a cloak, he recovered suffi-
cient consciousness to thank the gendarmes, and, even
with their assistance, to walk about 800 yards. He then
fainted, and was carried to the nearest house. There he
again became conscious, and food was offered him ; but,
placed on his legs, he fell back and expired.

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE ABTA

The royal mail steamship Asia; Captain E. G. Lott,
arrived in the Mersey early this morning, f'roni New
York,, which port she lefl,on. the 15th instant, with
siit*yassepgers„,and M 0,388 in specie,
Ott the lbth FebtarY the Asia passcd the ships Man-
hattan and Beverly; towing up ; 2GtIT, fir-SP2S a.m,
passed the J, B. Trevis and VoHaut, bound up ; at
10.30 a.m, America (rms), bound west; at 5 p.m, the J.
J. Hathhom, bound in ; at 7.15 p.m, the Australian (ss),
bound west. _

In. the Senate, the Wyandott (Kansas) Constitutien
-vas presented. Mr. Brown, of Miss., offered a resolu-
tion, td inquire whether the provisions of the English
till, as to requisite population,, had been complied with.
A debate followed, for and against. Wittiout disposing
of the subject, the Senate proceeded to other business.
With reference to the approaching contest fOr the
Presidency, the New York Herald says, the true field
of the fight will be in the Central States, whose
material interests will be more immediately affected
by the result. Commerce, manufactures, and mines are
directly dependent on the harmony and friendly inter-
course between the North and south. In these extreme
sections of the Union the old parties will probably
throw• their usual respective majorities, because the
People hate riot a 'practical knouledge of each other,
and are Jed to act uhrdttgh imaginary antipathies. But
in the Central States the question conies home to every
inan's tangible interests, and thete the issue, if rightly
understood, will shape the result. The press, the pOlpit
and the platform already resound with this issue. The
, abolition orators arc taking the field at this early hour,
and the lectures of 'Wendell Phillips and Giddings, the
eulogies of John Brown, the stimulated circulation of
Helper's book, the obstinate clinginr, to Sherman as the
black republican candidate for Speaker, and the laboured
attacks upon slavery, are all parts of the programme
of the black republican propaganda. Their object is the
abolition of slavery, immediately or, ulterior, according,
to their several grades of fanaticism. Their success
will involve the whole country in a civil war, break up
the foundntions of credit and commerce, stop the busy
hum of our manufactories, close our coal and iron mines,
and spread a general Min and desolation over the land.
A telegram from Washington, dated February 14th,
is as follows :---The report prevalent last night of the
illness of Mr. Cass was much exaggerated. It was a 1
slight attack from which he seems to have recovered,
and to-day he is attending to business in the State
department.
The trial of Hazlett, at Charlestown, Va., for his
connection with the John Brown affair was concluded
by the jury rendering a verdict of guilty of murder in
the first degree. The prisoner received the verdict with
the same ,indifference which he has manifested during
the trial.
The Buenos Ayrestorrespoildent of the Herald, writing
under date of Deceniber 11, states that in addition to
the difficulty growin& Out of the imprisonment of San-
tiago Copstant, a British subject, the Paraguayan Go-
vernment are likely to have a lively time with England
on account of the sinking of the British merchant
steamer Little Polly, in the river Parana, on July 11, by
a Paraguayan war steamer. ..
We have advices dated
,Belize on the 14th of Jan.
The Legislative Assembly amet on the 7th ultimo. Her
Majesty's Superintendent's message was very short ; the
session would likely be also short. A box with specie,
from England for Belize, had been stolen on its route,
and a similar one (but filled with shot) substituted.
The fraud was not discovered until the box was opened
at its destination. British barques Mercy and Mary
Bibby had been condemned, and would be soon offered
for sale.,
The Courier's correspondent at Vera Cruz, writes
under date of the 4th inst., that Cohas with
,2,000 men
had been defeated in Oajace, and that Miramon's expe-
dition against Vera Cruz is consequently, probably
Abandoned. The Liberals had reoccupied Colina, San
Luis, and Zacatecas. The Church forces bad been
defeated near Teaseala, with the loss of one hundred' in
killed and prisoners, and a quantity of artillery and
munitions. .
Woll is successfully opposed in Jalisco. The Church
party government is reduced to a small extent of: ter-
ritory. The available force of the Liberals is 30,000
men. Miramon, by extraordinary efforts, had nego-
tiated the sale. of $15,000,000 in bonds for $450,000..
Through illicit dealing with the French Minister nine •
millions of these bonds will enter the French Conven-
tion as foreign debt.
Mr. Mathew, the English Charge, had presented an
ultimatum, asking full payment of his claims within
eight days, in default of which he will demand his pass-
ports. Little confidence was placed in his sincerity.
Senor Ocampo had resigned the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs to accept a special mission to the United
States and England, connected with intervention by the
former, and the recognition of the constitutional govern-
ment by the latter. Degollado takes the place vacated.
Ocampo leaves in the English packet of the sth of March.
The stock of sugar at Havana and Matanzas was
35,00 boxes muscovado, at Bto 0 reals. Molasses ar- '
rived slowly, and sold readily at 41 reals for clawed, and
5? reals for muscovado. Exchange on London, CO days,
131 to 14 premium ; on New York, 21 to 31 premium.

Money continues in fair demand at previous rates

ing both of paper and money. On call there is no
change, and but little business doing. The Sub-treasury

better demand for francs, which are held by most
drawers at 5.181, the leading bankers obtaining 5.171.
Sterling bills are abundant at 108 for city bankers,
and 108 to 1 for mercantile bills. The importers are
postponing their payments to Europe, and the foreign
