10 go on the plea of illness. Finally having learned
that Hassan Pasha the President Of the CounciI az
Cairo, was on his way to Alexandra with orders
to take him up 10 Cairo, Artin Bey avaled himself
of the only chance of escape then left him, and
secretly got on board the French steamer, which
left for Beyrout on the very day of the arrival OF
Hassan Pasha al Alexandra.
A few weeks ago Artin Bey, experimenting, no
doubt, some harm to himself had applied for leave
of absence, on the plea of i'll health. Permission
was granted to him, but on his asking to take his
family with him he was refused, the government,
no doubt, suspectng intention on his part of not
returning 10 Egypt If he once got away with all his
family Stephan Bey has been appointed Minister
of Foreign Affairs IN the room of Artn Bey.
Edhem Pasha has been named Minister Of Com
merce, in lieu of smail Bey, who has held the ap-
pointment since Artin Bey was deprived Of it, This
change has given general satisfaction, as Edhem
Pasha, from the nature of his Office, will be in con-
slant contact with Europeans He is LIBERAL
minded man, educ ated in France, has spent several
years IN England, and is conversant with the prin-
cipal European languages On his appointment,
Abbas Pasha recommended TO him the most scru-
pulous impartality in his intercourse with tho
European merchants.

with one accord, have oried holdsnough, long be-
fore his speech was closed.
He placed himself through the whole Of his sxoslsnt
and WELT speech on the broad platform OF the
Union and the constitution. upon which he proudly
stood soaring higher and higher In the glory Of his
flight until every patriotic head and heart every body
and soul In his hearing who had spark Of the love Of
country which should burn In the heart Of every
citizen, was ready to cry " Amen Amen"
Indeed this Of hand effort OF the honorable Senator
the most happy Of that has been listened to In
these halls for many years. and, have no doubt,
would have compared we'll and avorsby with the cels

thusisst but assure you the matter and the manner
of the Hon Senator'S speech svinced the very highest
order Of talent and richly endowed with true old
fashioned revolutionary patriotism And proudly the
citizens OF the State OF New York appreciate the
man, and his high Of honor, at this day,
when faction and fanatiosm Is more in fashion and
decidedly more popular with sect than duty and pa
triotism
would that you could have been present and en-.

THE SLAVERY QUEsTIoN-THE ROUND ISLAND AFFAIR
The annual message of Gov. Matthews, OF Mis-
sissippi, was delivered TO the Legislature OF that
State on the 7lh INST. After comprehensive re-
view of the local affairs Of the Stale, he speaks
strong and emphatic terms upon the subject OF the
Wllmot proviso. He denies the right of Congress
to legslaie upon the subject the federal govern
ment is not sovereignty but the agent OF many
soveIeigntles. He condemns the conduct of Gen.
Riley, in proclamng Mexican law, thereby exclud-
Ing every religion but that OF Catholic, as altogether
at variance with the laws OF this country, ana un-
paralleled. As the Congress of the United States
made no provision for the government OF the ter
tory, the President possessed no power to appoint
governor. The election of delegates to the con-
vention and the procalmlng constitution, exclu-
ding the South from taking their property to that
territory, he says, Is illegal, and all done without
the appreciation of Congress. He opposes all fur
Their compromises, as injurious to the interests OF
the Soulh as the compacts heretofore entered into
have been violated by the North, and recommends
a firm resistance TO the last extremity. The spirit
OF fanatcism and aggression will never be stayed
by compromises, but will continue Its work of de-
siructon until the land will be drenched IN blood,
and the glorious temple of human liberty, reared
by our fathers, and consecrated by their blood,
shall tumble into runs. In the event OF the adop-
ton of the Wimot proviso, the admission OF Cali
fornia into the Union by virtue of her pretended
constitution, the abolition of slavery In the Dis
Irlct of Columbia, or the prohibition OF the COM
merce of slaves between the States, he recon-
mends that the Governor be empowered to order
an election OF delegates TO a convention, to take
into consideration the mode and measures of re-
dress, and TO adopt such measures for their future
security as the crisis may demand He protests
strongly against the conduct of Commander Ran
dolgh and Lieutenant Touen, in bockading the
southern coast Of the State, and compelling the
men assembled at Round Island to dispense, when
there was no positive evidence against them, other
than pretended intention to invade the island of
Cuba. The laws OF Mississippi were violated, and
when the Executive applied 10 the Secretary OF the
Navy tor the instructions under which these Off
Gers acted, the application was denied. Under
such circumstances, he suggests the proprlety of
ins,ructipg their Senators and representatives in
Congress TO institute inquiry into the uansac-
ton

We have tolerably good sleighing among our
coal hills at present. The weather has been I'M
settled, with high winds and snow storms, and on
the 25th and 26th, was extremely cold-thermo-
meter ranging from six to ten degrees below Zero
Our collieries are mostly stopped for the season,
and business of all kinds is dull. There Is little
stir In Pousville and the adjoining towns and viii
lagos, on account OF the holidays. The mining
ard aboring populahoa of our region, be the times
never so hard, will not forego their Christmas
gambols and frolics.
The canal closed for the season on the 18th, and
the Reading Railroad is dong but limltes -usi-
the coal line. For the week ending the 10th
instant, il has transported to market but $1,000
tons, while it is capable Of carrying $4,000 tons
per week, without difficulty.
But litte news is stirnng-poltlcal, religious or
commercial The democrats OF this county held
meeting on the l7th, at Orwigsburg, the seat OF
justice, and passed some stringent resolutions
upon the course of William ID. Lewis, Collector
of the port of Philade pbia, for interfering the
late fall elections in this county. Being court
week, the meeting was largely attended, and the
party ably represented The resolutions were
adopied with great uDanlmity. They called upon
democratic Senate TO reject him.
