WAR WITH ESGLAHp.-If ever anything
within the compass of probabilities appeared
certain, inevitable, a declaration Of war against
England by the United States, seems SO now.
We perceive but one way of eScape-the high
way Of shame and diShonor. England has Of
late heaped wrong On wrong, Insult on Insult,
injury on injury, in her dealings with this u
MON. She has manifested on every occasion,
a opposition to violate oar rights and outrage
our honor. She has ASSUMED the prerogative
of debating 10 us our Rational pollty, and
usurped the authority Of imposing upon us
such laws and such Restrictions as her naughty
tyranny and egotiStical, graSping policy pre-
scribed. She pas passedtthc point where for
bearance is v~irtuous. Peace, until full rctri-
button is obtained for all Der indignities, would
now b.. ignominieus. Ldt the North do as she
win, the South can never aequiesce quietly in
the liberation Of the CHeoh murderers but
the cause is national--it Belongs alike TO North
and South, East and West. A blow has been
struck at the star-spapgled banner! There
will be no more North 81 South in the United
States, until the Leopard Of England cringes
before the American Eagle.
From every hearth-stotte, from every hamlet,
town and city. let the cryf for retribution and
revenge go out! From ihe affairs Of family,
religion and patriotism, Pct the appeal ascend
10 the God Of Armies War with England!
Let the cry ring through our vallies, along
our hill sides and from The mountain tops /!
Vengeance on England f-Fathers implore it
in your prayers-mothcra, let these be the ear
hest wordslisped by your offspring!

opinions of Lord Coke, and Of late years.
OF Sir G. Wetherall, to the same effect, and
said that 1t would be, indeed, desirable
If there were an international law giving
a power to surrender criminals; but such
a law couldonly rest upon the presumption
that the laws Of all nations were reasonable,
and he feared the nefarious traffic in slaves
would stand very much In the way of any
such arrangement.
A Lord Campbell said he should not have
spoken on the subject, but that an opinion

just expressed by the lord chiefjustice,
which ~opinion~he had never given. He

ment had no power to demand that thos"
men should be given up, and #.aat if such
demand were made, there was ropower bat

with it.
SAFETY OF THE CAJEDoNiA.--From the
4th of February, the time the Caledonia
left Liverpool, until the 18th, she expert
enced head winds and se9ere weather. Il
was then found her rudder had retiged Sc
we're injury, aud the captain wus Obliged 10
put back to the nearest port, which he did
with the approval and concurrence Of ali
on board. He made Cork hafbor on the
18th, whore his vessel was temporarily re-
paired, and returned to Liverpool on the
evening of the 18th.
The passengers, letters. papers, &c,
which were on board the Caledonia were
all brought by the Acadia.
THE Com IAws.-Sir Robert Peel
brought forward his measure for the modi-
hcation of the corn laws on the 9th Of
February. The duty on Imported corn
is TO vary according 10 the price of grain.
1t is to be governed by what is called "A
sliding scale. 1t is opposed BY the liberal
members and the representatives Of the
large towns and C ties, as aforsling more
relief to the poor man and the mannfactu-
ror, and some OF the high tories and largo
agricu|turist are unffiendIy to it, because
it opeus the question Of tamperIng with
the existing corn laws.
Lord John Russell moved for the repeal
of the corn laws, in an amen1ment TO the
motion Of the Premier The debate which
followed continued thfee DAYS, wien thc
original motion was carried BY 4 MINORITY
Of 1913 for ministers.

MIR. STEVENS WAR STEAMER

An appropriation was recently made by
Congress for building steam vessel on
new plan suggested by Robert l.. Ste
vens. From the description of this new
structure, as given by the inventor, it
promises to be most formidable engine
Of war.
The vessel is to be of iron, shot and
shell proof; she is to have greater speed
than any vessel of war now alloat, the
engine and propelling apparatus are to
be placed as that the latter shall be sub
merged and the whole engine out of the
way of shot from an enemy. She is TO be
of 1900 tons burth9n, will need NJ rig.
ging, and with anthracite as fuel, it will
emit neither sparks nor smoke to attract
notice. She will carry heavy guns adap-
ted both for shot and shells. Her port
holes will be but little larger than the
muzzle ,ofa gun, yet so arranged as TO al
low it TO be fred at any angle; they will
moreover be protected by moveable
screens capable of being Withdrawn and
replaced with facility.
Mr.. Stevens has also invented new
species ofshGll fjr the use of this vessel.
These shells are hermetrically sealed, ,and
are efleCtnally secured from accidental
explosion, either from fire or from violent
conclusion; they are perfectly safe, also
from injury by submersion in water.--
They are so constructed as TO explode
after having penetrated the object against
which they are discharged; and being C.
longated, contain three times as much pow
der as the common shell Of the same ca
libre; they do not require the use Of NOR
tairs, but may be filed from guns Of ordi-
nary kind MIR. Stevens states that out
of twenty ofthese shells WHICH were dis.
charged into imbers, or into banks of
sand, nineteen exploded in the manner an
ticipated; rendering their action sufficient
ly certain, evncing the possession of pro.
perties not possessed by any other she'll
and producing effects which we're actual
ly tremendous, The following is an ac-
count ofan experiment made by MIR Ste
vens under the directions of Govern
ment, 10 test the qualities OF these
shells:-
A target of white oak was constructed
in the strongest manner, by one Of the
best ship.builders; il measured five feet
in thickness, and the timbers were secu-
red together by iron screw bolts, passinS
entirely through the whole. This target
was perforated BY the explosion OF 2 sIn-
gle she'll, hole being made in i through
which horse might have passed Sev-
en- tinbers of wRite.oak, each neasurcins
twelve BY sixteen inches were torn n
to shreds, aad scattered 10 a great aus
lance.

from statements Of the inventor ior Con,
strurtinC and arming the HsW sPscles OF
vessel, mas been matuTad, win most o.
lie details. for many years The present

FINAL NEGOTIATIONS WITH ENG
N 49,, LAND.

We understand that by the latest stea.
mers, intelligence from England was re.
ceived at Washington, that will material
ly, ifnot conclusiveiy, tend 10 arrnge and
settle finally all the outstanding difficult
ties with England
Itseems that the negotiation took place
in London. between, Lord Aberdeen and
Mr. Everett-and that the British foreign
Ministerlook the iEststep, being indu-
ced to do so, probably in consequence Of
the disastrous news from India. We fur
the learn that the Ashburton mission
wac never meant to result in any partic-
ulsr sellemant-it was intended moro
as snake believe" than a reality. But
recent evente in Europe and Asia, and
under the influence af Sir Robert Peel
who has indicated great friendship for the
UnitSd States, particularly in his recent
new taiitf, have compelled the British
goyersme nj TO GENE at once to the point
and settle tho preliminaries of lasting
peace. This has been done with Mr..
Everett, and the recent special messen.
gers that came by the steamers have prob.
ably been the bearers Of the new propo-
sitions Cor the American Government.
If this intelligence be correct, every
thing LOOKS well for a long peace.-N.Y.

place on the 18th inst. The Ohio State

says the Journal, "It would be good poll
