Theirs was Prime Minister of France. That PAM,
almos, brought the two countries into collision witt
each other, after those who had originated II hae
used il for stock-obbing purposes, and for replensh
ing their own purses by preyng upon those who were
not in the secret. At the present uncture, the Uni
ted States and England may run through the same
career, and it may end in the same way-the heads
of the two governments, both the President and the
Prime Minister, each acting with prudence, and nc
doubt with honest intentions but it is easy to see
that by agitating the popular passions, we may be
brought TO the brink of declaration Of war. In
this position the influence Of the manufacturing and
industrious classes may be brought to bear upon
both governments, so TO make them willing to
revert again to compromise upon the offer OF the
49th degree, which was before rejected. While all
these things are going on, may not thousands ana
thousands make large fortunes, both in London,
New York, and elsewhere
The war panic may all turn out to be according to
these views il is all war of words at present, both
in its commencement and carrying on, and proba-
bly, when the Message of the President arrives in
England, Parliament will be called together, and
there may be war speech from the Queen, and a
similar debate may take place in Parliament as we
have just witnessedhn the Senate. Then, after pro-
tocols and negotiations have been exhausted, it may
suddenly burst upon the world, in the midst Of all
this war Of words. that tn. two governments are
coming TO peaceable settlement.
Such may be the termination OF this extraordinary
crisis-ths war of words. At all events, let this
country prepare. We can have war, if either coun-
try wills 1t.
RELIGIous.-We see it stated in some OF the
newspapers, that the Rev. Theodore Parker, re-
markable Christian divine of Boston, is about re-
moving TO New York, where he will take up his fu-
ture residence and preach his future sermons with
out future salvation.
This Mr.. Parker is known somewhat to fame, in
a religious way. He was educated for the Unita-
ran priesthood, and made his pous debut at Boston
minister of that profession In a short time,
however, he proposed new revelation, and uttered
several curious views in reference the divinity of
Christ, and the mysteries of Christianity itself,
which made men and angels stare. He looks upon
Christ, we believe, as man of genius, and consi-
ders him as being the Son of God, in certain po-
etical sense of the term Mr.. Parker also claims
that there are MANY more Christs to come; and
from certain broad intimations in his sermons we
have reason to believe that he thinks the Rev. Theo
dore Parker will be one of these latter day Mes
siahs.
He is man Of considerable learning and taste in
the fine arts, besides being relgiousy eccentric,
and no doubt viii create great stir among the
blue stockings IN this region. He will be formlda-
Die rival to the Fourlerites doubt, and may pos
sibly put Joe Smiths Mormon apostles to the blush.
RAILROAD IN HUIsoN SrREET.-Several persons
who own property in Greenwich, are endeavoring
to push the plan OF railroad through Hudson
street. The inhabitants and owners of property in
Hudson street, however, are altogether opposed tc
it, as they are well aware that it would destroy in
great measure the busines,s OF the street, and there
by lessen the value OF pr operty there. railroad
in Hudson street would, without doubt, operate il
the same manner as the one in Centre street, which
it was urged would relieve broadway of a great dea
of the omnibus and other travel. But we find tina
Centre street is monopolized entirely by the rail
road, and that very few horses and wagons pass
Through there, thereby dv,tvyin ing the business cha
racter of the street.
1t has always been found that railroads in tn
streets of large cities have proved failures.
THE EXPRESS LINEs.-We all see the great U.s.
and value of the express lines when navigation il
Distracted and railroads covered with snow. The.
are then enabled to anticipate the mail from two Il
thirty-six hours. We understand that Adams 4
Co., the Boston and Philadelphia line; Livingston
and Wells, of the great Northern route, and Gay
of the Boston line, have made extensive arrange
ments for the ensuing winter. With them Their
