The Late Foreign News.

In the New York Herald of the 5th we
have more detailed accounts of the i'm
portantforeign news brought by the steam
er Arabia. There is hardly any doubt,
in our Judgment, that a general war in
Europe will soon commence.
The note of the four powers, as modi-
fed by the Sultan, and sent to St. Peters
burgh, is of such a character as to preclude
any probability that the Car will accept
1t, 1t stipulates that the Principalities
shall be evacuated within fifteen or TWEEN
days after the acceptance by Russia, and
that the renewal of treaties is to be with
special reference to the integrity and in
dependence of Turkey. These modifca-
tons were approved by the powers, and
sent to St. Petersburgh, together with a
demand by the Porte that the note be
definitely accepted or rejected within for
ty days from the Cd january, AMI the
Principe elites evacuated within from twen-
ty to thirty days of the date of the Cars
letter of acceptance.
If war hinges upon the acceptance by
the Czar of such terms, it is sure to come.

How it Works i'm Jamaica.

r. We make the following extract from a
letter, showing how negro emancipation
works in Jamaica. The letter was written
by Bishop Kipp, and published in the
Churchmon. 1t is dated Kingston, the
capital of Jamaica:
"The Streets the Bisbopsays) care
crowded with the most wretehed looking
negroes to be seen on the face of the earth.

them. Even coaling the steamer is done by
woman. About hundred march on

and then live on it week. The depth
of degradation to which the negro popu-
lation has sunk, is, we are told, indescri-
bable. The inhabitants of Sodom were
pure compared with them. "Once," said
gentleman to me, "you did not see an
untidy negro in the streets. Now, look at
them" pointing to group of squalid
wretches. This is the unvarying testimo

Australia Gold.

The gold in this country, was discover.
ed by two poor men named James Es-
monds and Thomas Hscock. They
are soon to be presented, by the gold dig
gers, with two gold fagons, at a public
banquet. A petition has also been put
up, asking for them reward from the
revenue aceruing from their discovery,
which is likely to be granted.
To show the estimate in which theii
service is held, we quote the following
from the Geelong Advertiser:

Canada to be a Viceroyalty,

It is stated in one of the New York pa.
pers, upon the authority of member o.
Parliament, that tits seriously contempla
ted by the British Government to establish
a Viceroyalty in Canada, with Prince
George, of Cambridge, as Viceroy, it be-
being preliminary step to the foundation
of a monarchy in the British N orth Amer
can dominions, with a member of the
House of Hanover for its reigning SOW
ereign. In commenting upon this rumor
the Detroit Free Press says:
''Thc establishment of kingdom on
the North American continent surely is
something to be thought of seriously,
even by the American people, who have
no voice in relation to it. To the people
of Canada it is a question of immense
moment, as deciding forever their politi
bal eondition-as determining whether
they shall be free and independent, or sad
died with the burtbens of monatchy;-
whether they shall be their own ruler, OF
be ruled by sprig of European royalty;
whether they shall be hereditary freemen
or hereditary slaves.
That England should have in view such
a plan to consolidate her power in North
America is not strange, for that is her only
hope of maintaining it at all. But it will
be strange if the inhabitants of Canada
sit quietly down and allow the yoke to be
put upon their necks-if they resistlessly
submit to having shackles forged upon
their limbs. We do not believe they will
We believe that events in Canada are
tending to crisis, and that the battle
will before many years be fought between
liberty and monarchy.

Coy. German ON Banks.

If the new Territory of Minnesota is to
be cursed with banking institutions, it will
be despite of the efforts to the contrary OF
her'present Democratic Executive, Gov.
German. In his late annual message to
the Legislative Assembly, occurs the
following paragraph: a
Where the field of speculation is large,
and the use of money demands high rate
of interest, the temptation for creating
banks to circulate paper money is, and has
always been, in every section of the I'm
ion, very great. The school of politics to
which have always had the honor to be-
long, has opposed upon principle the es-
tablishment of such banking Institutions,
and it would be repeating the well estab-
lished doctrinesof the country, to attempt
a re7argument of this question. there
fore content myself by saying, that no law
creating bank within this Territory, for
circulatinga a paper currency, can receive
my official sanction. o 1a

The Toledo observation-disclosures.

In the Toledo Republican of the 9th, we
have further particulars of the late fire
attended with loss of life in that city
That paper says:
On Sunday morning, about 8 o'clock, a
fire broke out in a boarding house kept by
Mr.. Murphy, on the opposite side of the
river, near the railroad bridge, and occu-
pied by some twelve persons. The fire
originated from barrel of ashes, careless
ly left near the door, and when the in
mates were aroused, had made such head
way that egress by the door was almost
impossible. Two men, named Howard
and Ruby, (their given names we have not
learned, a Mrs. Stacy, and daughter of
Mr.. Murphy, the proprietor, about ten
years old, were burned to death in the
house. Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy, and
child four years old, were badly burned
Mrs. Murphy it is feared fatally. Mrs.
Stacy succeeded in getting out of the
house, but went back after her child, and
perished.

Lower California--COlonel Walker still
mDhauf.


manifest destiny" appears to be on
the high road to asspeedy fulflmcnt in
Lower California. Col. Walker holds
that peninsula, and is marching on from
"conquering and to conquer"
Col. Walker, it will be remembered,
made lodgnlentatthe southern extremity
of the peninsula, with less than fifty men,
and boldly proclaimed Lower California
an independent republic, with a cabinet,
an army and a navy duly appointed; and
all from body of forty seven adventures
in hostile country, cut off from their
shipping, and full a thousand miles from
San Francisco by sea. But reinforcements
came in time; and at the last advices, with
force of two hundred men and several
pieces of artillery, it was believed the
thing was settled; that the Mexcans were
substantially crushed out" and that the
Republic of Lower California was a 'fx-
cd fact" In fact, the natives were ra-
pidly giving in their adhesion to the inva
ders, and were bringing in supplies of
subsistence and munitions of war.
The Mexican feet of three small yes
sells, with an aggregate of three hundred
men, was about sailing from Mazatlan, on
the opposite side Of the mouth of the
Gulf, to repel the flibusteros; and as they
were within days sailing of their head
quarters, they may ere this have come to
blows. If they have done so, the result
may be conjectured. Three hundred
Mexicans, upon any terms, would hardly
be mouthful for two hundred Anglo
Saxon Californian and Texan rangers. In
fact, from the proceedings of the inva-
ders, in laying out cities and surveying
harbors, they evidently consider them
selves as firmly located as William the
the Conqueror r
What will Santa Anna do? Nothing
less than Santa Anna, with the elite of the
army, can do any thing to upset the new
republic. And should he march to the
rescue, the news of his approach will
most probably bring thousands of rein
forcements from Upper California to Col
onel VIM. Walker. To all appearances,
indeed, the Republic of Lower California
will hold out. The exigency suggests
the policy to the President of the United
States of withholding the Gadsden treaty
from the Senate, and of sending the Gen
eral back with larger instructions. He
might now be successful in getting Lower
California at less than cost. We COM
mend the subject to the special attention
of the President and Secretary Marcy.

Burning of the Georgia.

+ Our telegraphic column, few day!
since, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, con
tanned an account of the terrible disaster
upon Lake Ponchartraia, in the burning
OF the steamer Georgia, by which grea
number of lives were lost. The New
Orleans True Delta, since received, has
the following particulars, which will b
read with painful interest:
The Georgia. Capt. Roberts, it appears
arrived at the railroad wharf at abou
II o'clock. She had 1870 passengers or
board, and was loaded with cotton. The
bow-li line had been made fast to the wharf
and two of the deck hands were engaged
in drawing in the stern of the steamer,
when the fire was discovered bursting out
with amazing rapidity above the boilers,
while some, with superhuman might,
flung their children from the hurricane
deck to the wharf, and, ,leaping after them,
were mutilated and saved, or, perchance,
drowned.
Most of the children who were thus
flung on the wharf were more or less in
jured by bruises or dislocations. One
woman, who fell or jumped from the cab
IN floor to. the main deck. was caught on
the points of an infuriated OK and was
torn most dreadfully. But the OK threw
her into the water, and she was saved
of the negroes on board of the boat,
twenty, at least, were lost-some planters
losing all they had, and some losing but
few. Scarcely single family was saved
entire. A father, who had rescued his
wife and six children, went back for sew
enth and was lost. A young man return
ed to the boat to look for female friend,
but the famed "yawned around him like a
hell, and he was numbered with :.the
brave" A father saved
three of his children, but his wife and
six others left their ashes in the funeral
~ ~ Va eHO oeOAS Sld.
A young husband lost his wife, and he
sat apart on the wharf as if Indifferent to
whatever else might befall him. A child
three months's old was taken to the hotel,
but it had no relative to claim it, and none
knew whose child it was. The list of
passengers were consumed, and, as no
list was taken of those that were saved,
the entire loss of life cannot be correctly
estimated.
Strange to say, the men who were haul
ng IN the steamers stern dropped the
rope they had hold of and the bodyof the
vessel swung off again from the wharf,
