THE DAY'S NEWS

We' had two arrivals on Saturday, with news
from'the United States—the Alps and the Africa.
The former sailed on the 18th, and the latter on
the Agth inst. The Democratic Senators had held
a caucus, and it was determined that the COmmit-
tee on Foreign Relations should report a bill
similar to that presented by Mr. Slidell, autho-
rising the President to purchase Cuba, and placing
thirty millions of dollars at his disposal toward
that object. It was agreed that the Democratic
Senators might vote as they choose when the bill
should be brought up. This was for the purpose
of accommodating the abstractions of several
Southern Senators, as all the Northern democrats
mould vote for it. 'The House Committee on
Foreign Relations have also resolved to bring in a
similar bill, and a lively discussion is expected
when it is brought up. A successful revolution
h.as.been inaugurated in Hayti, against the Em-
peror Soulonque, ,The,republic was publicly pro-
claimed on the 23rd *December, and Gen. Jaffard
was named provisional president. The insurrection
was spreading north and south. All political
prisoners had been released, and a decree deprives
oulouque of all power. The New York papers
publish Mexican news to a late date. The triumvi-
rate received with favour in the city of Mexico.

defeat by the
troops of Miramon, and was
reported as effeetuallfr crushed out. President

ments are going on in the city of Mexico, indicating
a. a growing weakness in the Church party,lthtiZ
Liberals are making arrangements foragra-n-a
coup early in the spring.
The tone of the foreign news is perceptibly in-
, clining more and more to the peaceful, save from
Turin, whence we have an announcement of the
appointment of a commander-in-chief of the Pied-
/mantes° army. In addition, the words addressed
-by the King to the deputation of the Chambers,
-who came to congratulate him on his daughter's
marriage, are quoted :—" Gentlemen," said he, " the
year has commenced well. I have confidence that
it will continue so, and end still better." These
wards are interpreted to mean that Sardinia may
be successful in a war against Austria. According to
the Pariii correspondent of the Globe, speculations

about peace or war are but waste of-time until the
7th of February, when something definite is
looked for in the speech of Napoleon 111. on
opening the Corps Legislatif. In the interim,
slight fluctuations in the stock market are the

only pulsations the political faculty has to watch,
and these are influenced by all manner of incidents,
the patient being put on a diet of canards. A
pamphlet by Felix Germain, " Aurons nous la
Guerre ?" was seized, and all copies confiseated in
the bookshops, said pamphlet deprecating hostil-
ities. In point of fact, newspaper people might as
well print the speeches in "Paradise Lost," where
Moloch and Belial alternately advocate fighting
or shirking battle, as indulge in any prophetic
announcements on the subject.
Parliament will open on Thursday, and the
Queen's Speech is looked for with unusual interest,
as various measures will unavoidably require to be
*embodied in the recommendations from the Throne.
Fortunately, the Session of 1858 cleared away
several difficulties, which had long wasted an un-
reasonable amount of valuable time. The India
Bill, the admission of Jews to Parliament, the
removal of the property qualification to members,
and the bill for limiting the liability of joint stock
banks,_ were amongst the most important. The
question of Parliamentary Reform is probably
destined for the battle-field of the House of Com-
mons, and we shall have numerous speeches to
support the bills to be proposed by the Earl of
Derby, by Lord John Russell, and by Mr. Bright ;
but a general impression gains ground that no bill
will be allowed to pass without an appeal to the
country. The subject, however, has been so
thoroughly ventilated, that it is difficult to imagine
how any party can escape from pressing forward
their views in such a manner as to render some
compromise or amalgamation easy of accomplish-
meat.

Mr. Bright has been entertained by his fellow
townsmen of Rochdale, and he has delivered
another of his long speeches on the subject of
Reform. After paying the usual conipliments to
his audience, the hon. gentleman essayed to"rin-
dicate himself from the attacks of his critics.
From his first appearance at Birmingham, he said;
he had changed no epinion he had once uttered.
But the press, which received his Birmingham
oration with a " hurricane of abuse," thinks his
Bradford speech moderate enough. Whence•
arose, he asked, this marvellous alteration ? The
secret was; the press had been jealous of Mr.•
Bright. It wanted itself alone to form public:
opinion, and saw with alarm a new man, the
representative of a power as yet without influence
in the state, attempting to take such work as that
of reforming Parliament out of the hands of the
Whigs and Tories who had managed affairs so
comfortably and decently. Truth, however, is
strong, and will prevail ; so, after denouncing him
for three months, the press had, now assumed a
calmer tone. 14r. Bright then repeated that from
the first he had declared himself to 'be in favour of
what he calls " the ancient franchise of the
country," that every man rated, to• the relief of
the poor should have a vote. He proposes to in-
troduce a clause for giving votes to tenants who
pay rates through their landlords; and. to -retain
the restriction now in force that any man 'who does
not pay his rates within a certain period shall have
his name struck off the register.
The death of the Earl of Ripon,. which luts been
expected for more than a week, is. at last; announ-
ced, and the West Riding has to, choose a new
member. A Leeds correspondent speaks -of the
Right Hon. M. T. Baines, Mr. Monekton Mines,
and Mr. Forster, of Burley, as well as of• Sir John
Ramsden, as being talked of for candidates; but
of these, three at least would have to vacate their
seats before they can be eligible, and that step is
not at all times desirable, even though it may,pro-
bably lead to the representation of so important a
constituency as the West Riding. East Worces-
tershire, too, under similar circiimstances..—the
succession of Colonel Rushout to ti -peerage,- has
to choose a member. The Hon. F: H. Calthorpe
has been in the field on the Liberal side for same
days, ar.d now there appears to oppose to him Mr.
J. S. Pakington, son of the First Lord of j the
Admiralty. He announces his principles to be
Conservative, but progressive ; and as he believes
these are sentiments of the present Ministry- he
would give it a general but independent srpport.
The Gazette announcement of Mr.' dladstone's
appointment as Lord High Commissioner of. the
lonian Islands, is immediately followed by another,
naming his successor. This gentleman, if we can
believe the anti-Ministerial paints, Sir Henry
Storks, is described as being a. soldier,_ rather
than a statesman, and a man of . energy and
strong will. •
The local news is not of muck interest this
morning. At the Police Court; on Saturday,. five
negroes were charged with mutiny, on board the
American ship Enoch Train, and with attempting
to murder the captain. Four of the prisoners were
remanded, the ringleader being sentenced to two
months' imprisonment.

' From the report of the Liverpool Sailor Ham e,
read at the annual meeting on Saturday, it
would appear that that valuable institution is
progressing. The number. of boarders last year
was nearly 4,500.
