omci.l Designation Corrected.

We stated yesterday upon what we deemed
specific information that Mr.. BELMONT had
acted during the absence of Mr.. HULsEMAsN as
the Austrian charge. We are rated by the
Union for having employed an improper Off
cial designation as drawing after it political
imputations which Mr.. B. did not deserve.
Although we were not singular in employing
this designation, yet indisposed to do even
nominal injustice, we withdraw the charge,
while we still, in spite OF the compliments
showered upon Mr.. BELMONT, persist in the
popular opinion that ''we certainly knew many
American Democrats who had earned the office
by better and longer servlce-who could have
represented the interests of the country more
efficiently-who needed its emoluments more"
Having, however, corrected the alleged in
jtstice, we would remark that the recent expe
rience of the Union, in correcting the Mesilla
and Russian inadvertencies, should have taught
it more indulgence for the fallibiIity of others,
and shall add that we shall certainly expect
more civil phraseology in correcting us in
future.

TAE FIsHERIxs.-The policy of the British gov
eminent in so jealousy waite hing encroachments
upon the fishing privileges of their colonies in
North America has recoiled somewhat upon those
whose interests it was designed to protect. The
French, tits we'll known, possess fishing grounds
in the neighhorhood of Miquelon. The movements
of the British government during the past aud
the present season have not been unobserved by
the French authorities. We learn from ST.. Johns
n. F., that seven eight British provincial
schooners, which were encroachng upon the
French fishing grounds, have been driven away
by French cruisers before they had obtained one
third OF their fares. The British schooner Victory
which had also been poaching, arrived at Pug
wash on the 26th ultimo from Bay st. George,
with only 500 barrels behring's, and a lugubrious
complaint that she "was driven off by French
cruisers f"
From st. Pierre, Miquelon, we learn that the
British war steamer Devastation has recently been
in that quarter, making very minute surveys and
examinations of the various headiands and lines
of demarcation, as laid down in treaties, probably
with view of keeping the French vessels within
their proper limits.
With the feelings which formerly existed be-
tween these two great nations, such a state of af
fairs might have been the source of serious misun
derstanding .-Boston Adrertissr, 9Th.

Ponfifcsm Moxunu1s, collection Of the inedited
works of the Greek and Latin Fathers. formed for
the most part from the manuscripts of the Vatican,
and published by Cardinal A. Mai, in six large
quArtos, with plates and fac sfmile. The first vo-
lume contains about two hundred new sermons of
Saint Augustine, the Speeulum, and a number of
his commentaries on the Bible. The frst part of
the second volume comprises thirteen email pro-.
auctions of Saint Cyril, in Greek, with a Latin
translation and notes, also ten works of other Fa-
theirs in Greek and Latin. The third volume en-.
braces commentaries by Saint Cyril on some of
the epistes Of St. Paul and the Psalms and various
Fragments. His eminence the editor has added
writings Of other Fathers In the fourth volume
are brought together more than forty small Der.
formances or tracts of ancient Fathers, among
whom Eusebius Of Cesarea, Saint Gregory Of
Nyasus, Saint John Crysostom and Didimus, a
history and refutation OF the Manieheans, and a
refutation Of the Koran. The four volumes will

quence is to be looked to as consistent with The
precedent history of the United States, and
should be provided Tor by apportioning this
vast element of political power with some re-
gard to impartiality between the northern and
southern sections; otherwise prepondennce
In either may occasion injustice or tempt poll
ticlans to an immature view of the constitu-
tional obligations resting upon the foreign
population of the United States, and thus re-
organize sectional difference of opinion which
1t has been so difficult to adjust.
For these amongst other reasons it will be-
come very important that there should be an
equal distribution of immigrants between the
sections. 1t will insure an harmonious under
standing between them. The immigrant who
has settled in the Southern States invariably APP
preciates and sustains her institutions he will
act as a mediator to conciliate the original or
adopted prejudices entertained by those of his
own land or language, or his vote and efforts
will counteract the purposes of those who may
desire to employ sectional preponderance of
numbers or States to renew agitation or alter
the structure of our Government.
In this point of view we hope that the inn
portance of securing an equal apportionment of
foreign immigrants will have suggested itself
to the statesmen OF the South now convened at
Memphis. 1t is peaceful means of securing
sectional equality and restraining sectional
power, and an immediate means of animating
both the seaboard and interior States of the
South with the elements Of commercial, manu-
featuring, and agricultural wealth. 1t is sub
ject of momentous political consequence, and
ought to be looked to by those who desire the
happiness of the human race and the perpetuity

answers objections to the colony of Liberia as fol-
lows:
"We dare say there may be instances of colored
men in Liberia, well as at the North, who would
be glad to return to the protection liberal fare and
easy service of their former masters; but the testi
mony of Captain Foote, Lieutenant Colvocoressis,
(ofhcers OF the American navy,) and other intelli-
gent and disinterested persons who have visited
this colony OF late, is, SO far know, u,,ani-
nous in representing the great majority of the
coonlsis as we'll satisfied with their home,
and unwilling to return either to the slavery OF the
South or TO the freedom Of the North Our opinion
OF Sierra Leone is not much better than that of the
writer OF this Communication. From the fret it
has been charnel house for white men who have
attempted to reside there; it's progress has been
slow; and there is nothing very promising in its
present circumstances and prospects. But with
Liberia the is different. Few colonies, with
SO small an amount of expenditure in their behalf,
have been 30 greatly prospered, or made so much
progress in 30 short time. The climate is not
unhealthy to colored people, and the mortality has
been proportionately much less than it was in the
early history of the Jamestown and Plymouth
colonies No doubt many of the emigrants from
Georgia and other States have died; and DO have
many OF the people they have left behind. 1t is a
long time since the emigration commences; and
death ia not accustomed to leave himself without
witness in any community If there is any hope
for Africa, or for colored people in America above
the condition of menials, it is to be found we
humbly believe, in the establishment of such colo

TEHuANrEpEc NEurRA11ry TarArv-An

TEHuANTEpEc NEuTRALITy TREArr.-Amongst
the speculations upon the posi- BILE consequences of
war with Mexico, much has been said upon the
implications which may arise under the treaty
signed BY Judge Conkling, and now awaiting the
action of this Government. The guarantee Of the
neutrality of the route laid down in the Soo con !.
tract would imply the neutrality of line drawn
from the terminal port of Vera Cruz around the
southern coast of Mexico, and across the 18th mus
of Tehuantepec. 1t is suggested, therefore, that
our vessels of war could not enter the port of Vera
Cruz with hostile intentions, nor could our troops
the neutral line traced around and across the
southern territory of Mexico, without violation of
the established neutrality, and consequently Civ
ing cause OF war with those nations which shall
have been united in the guarantee.
Thus Mexico will, in advance, have thrown
around herself an impregnable entrenchment to
that extent.
Another suggestion addresses itself to the con !.
alteration of Americans who may be disposed to
make investments in the line of steamboats, which
under the same contract ia to conduct the com
merce between Vera Cruz and the Isthmus. AS
this line OF steamboats, s to be ssunder the Mexican
hag," of course it will be under Mexican jurisdio
tion' In the event of war, therefore, it will prob
ably share the fate of any other Mexican shipping
and become lawful prize to the United States ships

LEaIsLArIyl FRoLcs.-The PhiIadephia BuHe
tin ia little bard on this species of amusements
1t says
''The New York Legislature has been indulging
itself in trip to Niagara Falls. The consolidated
railroad companies of the New York central route
'chalked the hats of the members, and they were
carried over the entire route from Albany to the
Falls-a distance of over three hundred miles-in
the space of eight hours, including stoppages an
average speed OF thirty seven and hslf miles IN
hour for the entire distance. Perha ps if the stop
pages were deducted the average speed would
amount to forty miles an hour. Here VIC have the
Legislature OF the Empire State risking their lives
in the silly ambition of making good time on the
railroad, and countenancing the mad competition
which has already resulted in the loss Of so many
lives. But by good chance the members survived
TO see the Falls and indulge in sumptuous ban
quet at Niagara, from the effects of which they
had no. recovered at the last accounts

will ultimately be followed by the Federal Govern
ment, and may expect in the course of time
that Congress will indulge itself in flying visit

pool. The latter would be more than a fair

Massachusetts, ConstAentional Convention.
Although this congreg CATION of PERFORMERS" have
spent some thirty two days in speech ma king at

the only thing they havetA far accomplished is to
re. enact that the council shall consist of eight per
soma and to provide that they shall be elected from

Legislature a. now. This surely is not a s.start-
ling change" The Office of Lieutenant Governor
is to be retained, and the Committee of the Whole
have decided that the Lieutenant Governor shall
not be entitled "his honor'-a matter of small
consequence. The committee also decided that
the Lieutenant Governor shall not be President of

The most important matters to come up are the
plurality report and the report the qua ihca,ion

a protracted debate, during which Hon Isaac Da-
