ga fine day 20 "A fine dayr' So have the salu-
tations run these many days. And true to the
letter have they been, for never brighter days
graced the middle of December. Shakespeare,
somewhere asks who cnn

Sc; and again he says;
"whcn we shall hear
The rain and wind beat da rk December
&C., but December as yet hath no such charac-
ter IN This Ammo Domini. "a fine night - too
has been the passing word. And beautiful
have the nights been, at the same time that
they have been keen and biting. The frost has
indeed revellcd in the bright moonlight; elaz-
ing all the ponds over, nor letting the river 90
free; and on the windows painting pictures of
the leaves and flowers it had nipped from the
! shrub and tree. The midday suns, have thus
far been able to Danish the iroswork Of the
nights, and the ba Tile between Indian Summer
and Winter, though waeed so far into the lat
tcr'S territory, seems still TO be pretty even
ha ndcd game. Blu, as to who will be the victor
there can be no doubt. The terrible, and
stern, and icy IN ohal h must Tor ID time triumph

The TTEATy OF ALLIANCE BETWEEN
FRANCE AND ENGLAND.- is stated that
the treaty of alliance agreed and signed
by Count Walewski on the part of
France, and Lord Clarendon on the part
of England, guaranteeing the integrity
Of Turkey, was despatched Immediate

with an intimation that from the dav of
its arrival at each of these capitals per-
iod of seven days would be allowed to
the cabinets of Prussia and Austria to

enter into the arrangement. If agreed
; to, we'll and good; if rejected, it was to
be understood that France aud England
J would take the settlement and the res.
possibilities Of this Eastern controver-
sy into their own hands. If is inferred
from the terms of the treaty; that Rus
