LATE FROM EURoPE.-The Steamer At
lantic, with Liverpool dates to the 9th nit.
has arrived. On the Goth the British Par
lament was prorogued. The Queens
speech on the occasion was congratuatory,
and expressed the hope of an honorable ar.
raugement of the Eastern question. Lord
Palmerston stated in the House of Comm ons
that he was confident the Gar would eva
cuale the provinces without unnecessary
delay. But accounts state that the Eastern
question remains in statu quo, being no near
er and no further removed from settlement.
The Divan had recommended the Sultan TO

An exchange paper remarks with truth
and jus,ce-"There is no reason why DIFF
(erences of political opinion should create
personal amin osilles. The man who is con-
fdent Of the justice of his views, and the
truth Of his principles, has no need Of re-
course to low-nung personalities to sustain
them. Even when there is some show of
cause given for personal denuucia,on, we
contend that il is far better never to descend
to it. 1t can be productive of no good, bu,
Of much evil. 1t tends to exsspera,e the
lempers of men, TO shut the door against
reconciliation, and relards the restoration OF
those kindly feelings aud friendly relations.

THE PRESIDENTS CARRIAGE.-Some Of
the newspapers are trying to make political
capital by calling public tlention to the fac,
that the Presiden, of the United Sales drives
a handsome carriage, and is attended by SER
wants in livery. This appears to us TO be
"smalI potslo," not worthy of the notice
of The press What if the President drives
fine carriage, and is attended BY servants
in liyery-has not every private gentleman
who can afford it, the right TO do so, and
does the fact Of Mr.. Pierce being the Presi-
dent Of the United States, make him leas a
gentleman, or deprive him of his personal
rights? For our parts we like to see such
spiri. in public men, and think tina, the
best way in which they can dispose Of their
salaries, which in all conscience are small
enough, considering The responsibility Of
the stations they fill, is to spend them in
rewarding honest industry. and encouraging
The mechanical arts. Who is most benefit
ted by Mr. Pierce's carriage, be or the man
who bull, il, and those who contributed
their handy craft to lis cons,ruction? Far
better tina. he should do this, than give his
salary to idle dependents or hoard i, up in
his strong box.
The above remarks are from the Balti-
more Times, and we entirely approve them.
