Later Foreign News.

The news by the Niagara (Which arrived at
Boston on Sunday, in 10 days from Liverpoo)
will make stir in the commercial and stock
dealing circles. The rise in the price OF oui
stocks can surprise no one who has seen what
has been going on in Europe for the past year.
People seek investments for their money where
they think it will be safest; and within three
months, especially, the opinion has been gaining
ground on the other side Of the water, that Anne
RIGA is great country.
The political news is no less important than
the commercial. The German Empire is get.

Hungary is nearly conquered, Pesth being Ia

assist him in regaining his temporal authority
Some scarecrow words are in the dispatch
about red republican preparations for fighting at
Lyons in France. This is CANNON. They think
Of doing no such thing.
The gold fever rages hercely in every cor
ner of the Old World Twelve vessels were fit
ting out at Bordeaux for California, whose car.
goes would consist Of ,cine and brandy.
The Irish State prisoners, it appears, are un.
dergoing severe punishment before their trial
The British Government is accommodating ON its

accumulated on its shoulders. And fearful will
be the day of reckoning for both scores

SPIRITUAL ADvANCENEST.-At a Union
Conference meeting in Boston, ON Sunday even
ing, 9Th inst, Amasa Walker, Esq, of the Leg
stature, remarked on the means Of spiritual adj
vancement A leading means was prayer
Here, as in other things, We might learn from
the perfect example Of Jesus Christ. 1t was
memorable fact that he sometimes continued all
night in prayer. Aud if he, with bis glorious
PROJECTIONS, needed such intercourse with the
Father, how much more frail, sinful, erring NOR
tails
The announcements he had given to sincere
prayer, especially to social prayer, were also
very remarkable. "lf two of you shall agree, as
touching anything they shall ask, it shall be done
for them of my Father who is in heaven"
He had no doubt that in the mind of that
Being, who especially delights to hear and an
swer prayer, the most important and benevo-
lent efforts, and even these religious movements,
aiiording bright spot in dark day, had refer
ence to such prayers and were in truth, answers
from Heaven.
We might learn also from the active example
Of the Saviour,-incessant in "doing good" alike
to the souls and bodies Of men. "The common
people heard him gladly" They never perse-
cuied him. And the wondrous efficacy Of his
Sermon on the Mount was owing, not merely to
the fact that he spoke ne one having authority,
but also 10 the fact that his daily icorks proved
him to be sincere. So il was also with the apos-
ties and primitive Christians; and so it should
be with us.

The above item is much more worthy of pub

of the late prize-hght in Maryland, which meet
our eyes in almost every newspaper. That rats

But that two in-human beings should pummel

GoLD FOR THE FARMERS Should extern
sive emigration from Europe to California take
place, an immense market for our agricultural
products will be opened. Few, if any of the
vessels leaving, or which have left the United
States, have taken more provisions than was
prospectively necessary for the parties going
out indeed not enough, if the larry should ex-
tend to an average of year in California, as it
undoubtedly will. Vessels leaving Europe will
take still less for the idea is no doubt common in
Europe that it would be foolish to take a surplus
of food to the New World, so that the provision
market in California will be brisk. There is al
this moment, from all accounts, great dearth
If not Distress on account Of food in the Gold
regions. The search for gold will in great
measure preclude agriculture in California and
Oregon, while it is exciting as at present. Our
farmers need not hurry oil to the Sacramento
nor feel uneasy. If the gold holds out, they will
get their share by staying at home and raising
corn and potatoes.--N Y Sun.

"CnARcoAL SKETcHEs."-A day or two
since, being in the Office of MIR Sherman, the
Warden Of the House of Correction, we were
invited to visit the Jail to see some sketches
made with charcoal upon the walls Of a cell, by
IN individual who was recently confined there,
awaiting his trial. lie was a young man by the
name Of NJ. N. Nichols, was from New York
State, where his connexions reside, who are Of
the highest respectability. lie was charged
with stealing, and has since been tried, convict
ed, and sentenced to State Prison for two years.
lie committed the crime for which he is now
atoning ohen under he influence Of inior cutting
drink and while in jail he seemed to feel keen
y the disgrace he hid brought upon himself and
friends One day, near the close of his condne-
mcnt there, he requested rs a favor that he mi hit
be furnished with piece Of charcoal HiJ c.
quest having been complied with, he SIX led
upon the rough, whitcwashed walls, in n CIV
hours, some twenty or thirty heads and figures,
nearly covering the walls on two sides i his
cell. Some of them are remarkably well exc
cuted, and the heads, in particular, are striking
ly expressive. One set, Of three figures, con-
yeys a moral lesson which could be advantageous
ly studied for hours. And we could but wish,
while looking at them through the grated door
of the cell, that the lesson there taught might be
read by many who are pursuing a course similar
to that which brought this young man Z his
present deplorablc condition.
The first fgure of this group is that Of a
bright boy, with his hoop in ope hand, and the
driving stick in the other, chidishly, innocently
and happily pursuing the sport of youth, without
care or a thought Of the distant future. The
next figure is that Of young man, whose ex-
cellent form, neat attire and intelligent counte-
nance, bespoke one who might command the at
tention of the wise and good. The last figure
is that of person stability dressed, with hair
uncombed, standing behind the grated door of a
prisoners cell. Directly over the second figure
were the words, "WhGi once teds ~ and over
the last figure were tho words, "IVhat ! notr
