HALIFAX.

The nomination took pLace yesterday. The can-
didates wore the Right Hon. air C. Wood, Bart, and Jas.
Staged, jun., Esq., of London. The promoting/4 which
were oondueted in the Pleat Hall, were divested of much of
their interest by the retirernsed, at the eleventh hour, of the
conservative candidate, Kr. Waterhouse. The mayor pre-
sided. The day being wet, the crowd in front of the hustings
was comperattvely small. The seal formalities having
been gone through, end no other candidates being prepaid,
the mayor declared Sir Charles Wood and Mr. Stansfeld duly
elated, amid much cheering. Sir C. Wood then briefly ad-
dressed the assembly, thanking them for having the eleventh
time returned him to parliament, and congratulating the
liberal party in lielifer on being or completely united. An
appeal had been made by her Majesty's goternment to the
country on the question of reform, and they had answered
that appeal by electing two men to condemn the govern-
ment measuro. lie would sot go into the details
of that measure. It had ken generally condemned. '
In reference to the question of war, while he regretted that
events had arrived at such an issue, he believed that the best
efforts had been made by this country to preserve peace.
Ho believed It was our duty to abstain from taking part in
hostilities so utterly unjustifiable; that we ought to piece our-
selves in such • position as to commend the respect of every
other power in Europe, and at the same time avail ourselves
of every opportunity of restoring peace. Mr. Stansfeld, on
coming fanned, was loudly cheered. Titer attention, he
said, had been forced from reform to a question of peace or
war. He knew et few greater calamities than en European
war, and be trusted that as Wag as it was possible the govern-
ment would preserve a state of neutrality. If, however, the
time should come when, in defence of ourselves, we had to
draw the sword, he trusted we should do so unhampered by
any compromising alliance with the detente of Europa, but
should confine ourselves to the defence of our own interests,
and to the maintenance of a permanent and eighteens peace.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

A young lady with a Spanish name—Mlle. Cal-
deron--eppeated last night as Amine in the Bosmireimia. We

from her voice, we should suppose her to be a French-

sleeper of intonation. She failed, emordingly, in

more encomefal in dorid plusses, which the quality of
her lOW ambled her to execute with considerable nestswee.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

The Moniteur of this day (we learn by one of Mr.
Renter'. telegrams) contains the following:
"The conference of the great powers assembled yes-
terday to discuss the questions arising out of the ex-
coition of the convention organising the union of
Moldavia and Wallachia."

AUSTRIA.

The Ott Deutatie Post replies u follows to the
statement made by the Dresden Journal that the
five great powers are in accord on the preliminaries

of the coogrooe :
Notwithstanding the pains we bees taken to secartain
whetter the preliminary conditious laid down by Austria had
been accepted by the court of the Tuileries, we are not yet

ties their to to lead France to swept the preliminary
eanditioes put forward by Austria.

Austell: has sent a reply to the declaration of the
Federal Council relative to the neutrality of Swit-
zerland, and expresses satisfaction at the intention of
that country to maintain her rights, and uphold
existing treaties. Austria, for her part, will respect
most scrupulously neutrality as long as it is observed
by Switzerland.
It is stated in advice, from Milan, received by
Mr. Reuter, that the following order of the day has
been posted up in the barracks of that town :
" Austrian soldiers! The Emperor calls you round
his banners to beat down for the third time the
pride of Piedmont, to expel from their dens those
Mastics who destroy the tranquillity of Europe.
Advance against the enemies, who have always fled
before you. Remember the victories of 1848 and

1849. Remember Novara, when your foes were
dispersed and annihilated. Let your watchword
be: " Viva it Emperatore! Oar rights for ever."

TUSCANY.

Intelligence from Leghorn states that several of
the young nobler, and particularly Count Casanova,
nephew of Prince Orsini, left Florence two days
before to enter the Piedmontese army as volunteers.
A great crowd accompanied them with acclamations,
and immediately after a proclamation was circulated,
expressive of the good wishes and sympathy of the
population towards these young men.

to the description of the vessel and her ses-worthinese.

Mr. Reuter) contains the following:—The manage
received from Turin stating that the Prince de
Carignan did not confine himself to the refusal of the
Regency, but undertook to offer a substitute in the
person of M. Suonoompagni, has produced every bad
impression here. It was stated that the government
of Sardinia had not followed the wise oouneile
offered by the government of France, as expresssd
in the letter of the Emperor to the Ring.
" It is questioned by what right Sardinia under-
takes to prejudge the decisions of the Congrem in
naming a Regent for Central Italy, and thus, by his
nomination, assuming that the llnchies were already
annexed to Sardinia. This proceeding is contrary
to all custom, and not in accordance with the right.

to defective pacitary arrangements that are still found Is all
