DIsAsTER TO TIE FREscH IN ALGERIA.--
The French papers gave an account Of hor.
nd disaster which overlook detachment o.
the French army in the province Of Constan-
tine. In the midst Of large plain, the col
umn was oyertaken by heavy fall Of snow
which continued two days, in which the
poor fellows were obliged to bivouac. Some
Of them not having tasted food for two days
fell victims 10 the severity ofthe weather. BY
this calamity more than 100 lives, it was said,
have been lost.
DoMEsrIc.--Mr. Golden has published an
address to the farmers Of England on the pro-
position OF Sir X. Peel, relative TO corn. His
object is to convince them that il is better for
their interests, in every point Of view, to have
the corn laws repealed al once, instead ofwal-
ting for the ministerial term Of three years.
The battle which has been raging for some
time between the Freee Traders and the Protec-
tionists continues with undated fury and the
sound of the conflict falls upon the ear from
every part Of the country. The ANTI corn
law League, while they approve Of Sir Rob
ert PEEPS financial scheme as whole, are busy
marshalling their strength against the modified
sliding scale for three years. Meetings are ey-
ery whereheld to petition for irnmediate repeal
and the well orpanized plans of the J,eaguers
from their greater compac,pess and system,
show to advantage. on an occasion like the
present. when public opinion is 10 be concen-
rated and pronptIv eynressed
