ABDIcaTIoN OF THE CAR NIcHoLAs.-I, is
understood ir Washington iha, there is con.
siderable reason 10 believe the European III.
mors that the Emperor of Russia is about 10
abdcate in favor Of his son. Nesselrode, and
others OF the Ministry, are earnestly in favor
OF the retiring of the Russian troops from The
Principaliiies, and will not second the Cars
desire tor war II is understood they now
admit that the hereditary insanity of the
Romanofs has fallen upon him. He has
threatened TO abdicale if the Cabinet and his
family persist in opposition. Well informed
parties believe that abdcalion will be forced
upon him in order 10 get Russia ol, of the

% The PHILADELPHIA AND SUNBURY
TELEGRArH'-The posts between Shamokin
and Pottsvlle are all up, and thos between
Shamokin and Sunbury nearly all on the
ground. There will be something like ten
stations on the line, or one to every FIVE or
six miles. The line follows the Mine Hill
rail road, and will be great acco,nmoda-
ton TO the extensive mining operations
along that road, rendering the Eastern end
OF the line, fully as profitable as this.

ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

We learn from the New York Journal of
Commerce that Mr.. Grinnell is making a.tive
preparations for sending the Advance, second
time, 10 the Arctic Ocean, in search of Sir
John Franklin. Her keel having been knocked
off by the ice, on the former voyage, she will
be taken into the dry-dock in the course of
three weeks, where she will be thoroughly re.
paired. She will sail about the middle of
April under the command of DR.. Kane, u. S.
~, going out amply provided with sleGges,
India rubber boots, ETC., so that the expedition
may continue its exploration on the ice, if it
should become necessary, and with pemucan
or dried deer's flesh. Stopping at Greenland,
she will procure a supply of dogs, ITO draw
the sledges, we presume, for we do not see
what else they can be design ned for,) and will
then take the direction of Smiths Sound. The
Advance will be manned by picked crew of
seamen, and will carry out a corps of scien-
tIhc observers. Should il fail in its main OBJ
ject, it may yetbe hoped that the results may
be Of value TO science.

ST. DOMINGO,
We find the following in the National Intel
igencer of the 10Th

We find the following in the National Intel
ligencer of the 10th:
1.-THE brig Two Ladies, from Port-au- Platte,
Dec. 20h, arrived at Boston this morning.
Porta l.PIatte is only about IS miles from
SANTANA, and the Captain reports that the
story of its occupation by the French is
without a shadow OF foundation. He was
there several weeks AMI during that time
vessels were constantly passing and re-
passing between Port au Platte and SANTANA
not a foreign vessel of war had been seen in
that neig hborhood."
We heard an anecdote once which was said
to have come from the late General John
Preston, and which was to the effect that,
during his boyhood, when court-green DULLES
did much abound, his father carried him once
upon a time to court, where he overheard one
of these gentry, as he was re-investing his
person with a certain neither garment which he
had laid aside that his free born limbs might be
altogether innocent Of trammell, indulging in
mournful solioquy upon the degeneracy of
the times, which was so great that he had
stood stripped and ready for the first customer
all day, without having been offered the first
bid for fight. The time had been, ne said,
when a man might get halfdozen for the
asking but they were gone, and for his part
he had serious notion Of giving up the
trade.
We fear we shall, after awhile, be obliged TO
confess that the Dispatch is very much in the
predicament of this unfortunate bully, who
had outived his calling. 1t has been trying to
get up fight ever since it came into ex istence; ;
first with Austria but that nation was as
phlegmatic as ever. Next with England, but
MIR. Bull seemed to have lost all his former
turbulence. Lastly it pitched upon France.
Now, it thought, we shall have brush GER
tainly but unfortunately this dispatch from
Boston extinguishes all hope from that guar.
ter. Spain will not do anything, and as we
cannot make fight out of the Clayton-B ulwer
business, we feel half disposed to give up the
task of bottle holder to the nations. We are
like the poor bully we have seen the time that
if any nation had put chip on its head and
said TO Mr. Bull, or John Crapeau, 81 dare
you to knock it off, battle royal would in
continenty have followed. But we nave out
lived our vocation. The governments will not
fight. They exasperate their own citizens or
subjects violently, but they themselves are as
cosy as Ole Bull and Vieux Temps were,
while all the world believed they were deadly
enemies

Of re6ttiug the merchant ships in the southern
triangle included between the point OF Cayo
Casino and the cluster of small islands which
are si,uated opposite that part of the coast occu-
nied nv the cutters, al the distance of eight
leagues from the river Wallis, seven from Cayo
Casino, and three from the river Sibun. lFor
This purpose they are allowed TO build store.
houses, bat not forts, nor anything like naval
establishment.
We presume there is not man who reads
what We have extracted who will not agree
with the Tribune in the following sentiments;
Here then we have the only grounds in which
the English now hold Belize; and we have al
so demonstrated
/. That they have no claim TO the Bay OF
Islands, but that robbery committed on
friendly, but defenceless power 10 time OF
peace.
2. That il cannot be pretended that those
islands belong or ever belong ed TO BRUSH NOT
duras, because they are no, included 10 me
grant of the Tres Y, and moreover, because
they we're always attached to the Spanish pro-
vinces of Central America, and afterwards 10
the Republic of Honduras.
3. That they are not in any manner compTe-
ended IN the exceptions in the action OF inc
Irel ty referred TO in the above note and heni
orandum OF Mr.. Clayton.
4. That their erection into British Coiohy
is an open and reckless violation OF the clay
ton and Bulwer Treaty.
We trust that our government vii! s'ahu up
to the doctrines of Mr.. Monroe's message oil
1898, and that it will permit no COLONIZATION OF
this continent by European Powers. we know
there is party always in this country who
live in constant terror Of England, and delight
in expatiating upon her mighty strength and
mighty power. Let the better disposed re
nsember. however, that we have twice encoun-
tered her and have lost nothing by it. We
can do il again, and what is more, expel her
forever from America, and if she will have
war. such will be the case.

refuge or houses of correction, provide for what
conduct for what time and in what manner persons
NAV be confined or employed at or in said houses
and may enforce such confinement and may pre-
scribe discipline for said houses and persons"
Tae power given by this section is a large and
important one; and it is very probable there may
to some extent, be occasion tor its exercise.
But it is desirable to have uch data or informa.
ton as may be likely to conduce to its judcious
exercise.
The committee recommend to the Council 10
adopt the following resolution:
Resolved, That the President of the Council bv
correspondence or otherwise, obtain as to work

The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1853-01-12

RAPID WoRK.-The ship Tornado, lying at
New York, and bound for Califot ria, was load
ed between the 18th and 29th Of December !;
that is 10 say, in IA days, for no work was
done on the two intervening Sundays. As she
measures more than 3,l00 tons, we suspect
that the feat is without parallel, though we
know little about such matters. She is com-
manded by Captain o. R. Mumford, who, it
appears. received, short time since, valua-
BILE testimonial from the underwriters, for
bringing this same ship safely into port,
through a hurricane of almost unexampled
fury. We do not know Captain NJ; but when
the Dispatch fits out vessel for the Arctic
Seas, or for California, or for any other point
il does not mean to Maggie over the price IN Sc
curing his services. We can snap our fingers
at all The world, and the rest OF mankind, with
such seamen to back our insolenee, Who
cares & fg for Mr. Bull, or Johnny CrapeaH,
or the Ursa Major of Russial
