The steam ship Fulton, from Southampton for
New York, put into Halifax on the 31st tilt. for
wale, having experienced a 'my tempestuous pas-
Congress not in session, having adjourned for
the Christmas holidays, and there was nothing of
political importance transpiring at Washington.

A New Orleans telegram says :—" Private ad-
vices received here confirm positively the report that
a number of Americans were in Cuba, ready to aid
the revolutionists. They all left New Orleans with
regular passports."
Captain McCluney had been appointed to the com-
mand of the home squadron in place of Commander
Mclntosh, who returns home on account of ill-health.
Senator Douglu had arrived in New York, and
met with a public reception, in which much enthu-
siasm wu evinced by bur crowds of people.
As already announced in the Halifax telegram re-
ceived per Arabia, the California mail steamer had
arrived at New York. She brought *event items of
interesting news from Central America. Intelligence
had reached Panama that Walker's filibusters would
land at Truxillo or Omos, and march through Hon-
duras to Nicaragua. The British fleet at the port
of San Juan del Norte had been reinforced by two
war vessels—the Cleat and the Diadem—one of
which mounts 91 gnu.
Sir Gore Oaseley had left San Juan for Aspinwall
and Nicaragua, reaching Aspinwall on the 6th,
Panama on the 7th ultimo, and taking his departure
for the scene of his mission on the following day, in
her Majesty's steamer Vixen. Sir Gore was in very
bad health, and the climate of Central America ap-
peared to have affected his system injuriously.
New Granada was much excited, in consequence
of the passage of a law compelling all disaenters to
pay tithe to the catholic church.
The Panama Railroad Company had concluded a
convention with most of the republics of Central
America, by virtue of which a new line of steamers
for freight and passengers will run between Panama
and the chief ports of the States.

The New Orleans Delta seaters the President of
the United States, is a very absurd way, of hang under the
Indent. of Lady Gore Oniony, se regards political affahw
end nye :—.Nothiug leaked by her was ever refused, nor
was the back door or frost of net notable political man-
sion ever reluctantly opened to her knock." Again .
'• To bar direct and incomprehensible fascinations

of persona and manners was t:ruthfally attributed the
unaccountable change in the Presidential mind In regard to
Mr Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and Ito abrogation in accordance
with the almost unanimous demand of the nation." In con-
clusion, the Delta auks:—" What guarantee has the country
that any important statement or recommendation he may

make will not immediately thereafter be completely over-
turned by some new intrigueate, some fuctnethig ambeme-
dram, who ham the back and front door entreat:es to the
White Holum always at her deposal? The Samson of De-
moorsey bee had his locks sham of a verity I" _ _

A Paris letter in the Nord la ye :—" Prince
Napoleon will remain about a week at Trek, where a:fem-
ales preparations so. being made for hie reception. It is
not yet decided whether the marriage will take place by
proxy, but in any ms the prince and princes will make a
solemn entry into Paris by the Boulevards. The Emperor
Intends, it is said, to call on the Legislative Body to grant an
annual dotation of 4,030,0001 r. for the primes sad princes.
This latter has not yet attained her sixteenth year, the age
of the prince being 38. Her royal highness is tall and
very handsome ; she bears a remarkable resemblance to the
most flattered portraits of Maria Therm, whom descendant
she is. The mother of the princes. was considered the most
beautiful princess in Europe."
FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.—In the Daily News
especially the correthondence has an even excellence, and •
divereity and heehaws of matter, combined with an indica-
tion of reel knowledge, and independent views, which always
make the foreign columns of that journal interesting and
valuable. The experiment made by the Otattinetstal Review,
coupled with the great exertions to get reliable intelligence
and impart requisite knowledge that thareeterise the foreign
columns of the Times and the Daily News, shows that there
are some persona on this side of the Channel who feel that
E.o4,politics runot really be separated from Continental.
The effect of universal suffrage in Frame Is, for example, the
my beat instrument of persuasion that osa be placed in the
heads of those who have to resist the proem of democracy
la the construction of • new reform bill. The state of Italy
I. beginning to tell on the purees of many English families.
The history of Continental ultremontaniem has bad a con-
siderable share in producing that reaction of the general
educated public, from any approach to Romanism which so
noticeably separates the p_resect from the recent past. And
every student of current European history finds the deck of
phenomena that call for an examination becoming wider and
wider. Any one, for instance, who casually took up the
Daily It'ettx at intervals of a kw weeks might to tempted to
think that the money and dm spent by the conductors of that
Pouraal In pros:win intelligence from Bosnia, Sere* Dal-
matia, Moldavia, sad other territories on the borderland
between Austria and Turkey, were very ill-bestowed. But
the more metal reader ia aware that the vague but
undeniable and Increasing movement that has takes
Panslaviem a. its title, IS an element of change that
threaten. to recast the mould of European power.
No one, in fact, who reads foreign correspondence
casually can hope to master what is a difficult and
a dry study. Bet we may be at ones grateful to, and
proud of, the English press, when we find it giving us, if we
choose to use theca, such ample materiala for reflection—
materials obtained at so great • coat, and presented in a form
which is marked with se many sigma of ability, impartiality,
and sound Judgment—Saturday Review.
LORD CAMPBELL AS AN ILLUSTRATOR OF
Suez zzzzz .—A new illustrator of Bhakepere ha. entered
the held in the person of the Lord Chief Jumbo of the
Qaesn's Bench, Lord Campbell. During a recent vacation
in &offend, he twined his attention again to our great
thematic poet; and, reading over his plays consecn-
sleety, he was struck by the vast number of legal phrase.
and allusions they contain, and by the extreme appropri-
ate.= and accuracy of their application. He began
noting and remarking upon them, giving them such ex-
planations end elucidations se his east experience and
knowledge of the law enabled him readily to furnish. Helms
since put them Into more regular form and order, and la
printing them in the shape of a familiar letter to Mr. Payne
Collier, who, in his recent Biography of Bbaliaimni 'tails
that there are more indications In Stakapere that be had In
some way, early in life, been connected with the legal pee-
fautios, then are to be met with in all the works of contem-
porary drawable lir together. Lord Campton's contribu-
tion 10 our small stock of information regarding the life and
productions of the poet is nearly seedy /or pabielkm.--
