22d, says:
The past week has promised, raih-
er than accomplished events; for
while adverse parties are manmuy-
ring in Parliament, idle with a busy
air, the country is patiently awaiting
the result, unable to divine exactly
what it may be. The Protectionists,
althoughunable to accept office when
offered them, are still under the in
tluence of that habit of mind which
disposes them to consider themselves
not only fit for place, but on the eve
of stepping into it. Lord Stanley
disappointed them some three weeks
since; but, being under the necessity
of retaining his lordship as leader,
they seemed determined to force on
him a second opportunity of deceiv-
ing or gratifying them.
The game has still to be played out;
but it SO happens that neither party
hold a good hand. The eternal and
mischievous Papal aggression ques-
ton is still under consideration, and
it would be difficult TO determine how
it might operate in the event of a
general election.
When the no-popery debate ter
inmates, the army estimates are to
come on, preparatory to a renewal
of the mutiny act; and, that act re-
newed, either party may take refuge
in general election--an event not
very remote. 1t.
France exhibits no change in polit-
ical affairs, the continued progress of
the Socialists in all the departments,
being she only fact worthy of notice.
The Democrats had determined to
bring forward peasant as their can
didate for the Presidentship in 1852,
and this move has produced, and is
producing, vast accessions to the So
cialist ranks in all parts of France.
Both in Paris and Lyons, the num-
Der of Workmen without employ
meat is rapidly augmenting, and the
chances of an outbreak are thereby
much increased.
The yearning for German unity
and brotherhood evince themselves
in striking manner at Cassel. Sun
down no sooner approaches than
guards and patrols are obliged to be
doubled, in order to protect the Aus
TRAN troops in garrison from coming
to open war with their Austrian and
Hessian comrades.
From Austria we learn that at
tempts Of all kinds had been made to
remedy the disastrous state of the
finances, but yet an arrangement was
hopeless, SO complicated and so bank
rupt are the monetary affairs of the
Austrian Government.
Vigorous protests from the British
and French Governments, had been
/ ieceived both at Berlin and Vienna,
against the entry of Austria, with all
her States, into the Germanic Con
federation, and it was easy to see
that England will never consent to
Austria carrying on her projects.
The LOmbardo Veneto Of Venice
of the 18th of March, states that the
Pope had applied to the King ofNa-
pies for a large reinforcement of
troops, but the King had declined, on
the ground that such a course would
be opposed to the conditions agreed
to by the four powers, but really be-
cause he has enough employmentfor
his troops at home, in keeping down
his rebellious subjects. King Ferdi-
nand has, however, consented TO con-
centrate his troops on the frontier so
as TO be ready at once to march on
Rome, should the Pone be in anv
danger
The latest news states that a dread
iuI fire had occurred at Constantine
pie, in the splendid winter palace of
the SuItan's brother, Mehemet Ali
Pacha, and had completely consumed
the building. Not single article
was saved, and the loss was upwards
Of $750,OO0. Z
The Roman Catholics had been,
and were attempting by every in
trigue to seize upon the Holy Sepul-
chre, which has always belonged to
the Eastern Church.
Pariotiism.1-A Pf'aairii Yankee gentle
man, conveying British friend
around to view the different objects
OF attraction in the vicinity of Boston,
bought him to Bunker Hill. They
stood looking at the splendid shaft,
when the Yankee said, That is the
place where Warren FELL 'Ahl'
replied the Englishman, evidently not
posted up in local historican matters;
did it hurt him muchl' The native
looked at him, with the expression
OF Fourteen Fourth Of Jnlvs In his.
