A NEW DUBLIN EMBRYO Mr.. Gaillardet in
his last letter to the French Courier writes that a
journal of Caen has foolishy published commu-
ncaton from one of the sons of the Marquis de
Turgot, the Hench minister at Madrid, in which
he (the sony announces his determination to go to
Madrid and demand of the younger Soule repa-
ration for the wound received by the Marquis in
the meeting with Mr.. Soule, the elder. The
wounded combatant, who is now recovering, will
in all likelihood prevent the young man from en-
gaging in this nconsiderate and Don Quixotic
project further details of which we have not
heard.

GEN. HoUsToN made feeble, poinuess and
random speech in the Senate last week against
the Nebraska bill; combining his objections mainly
TO the apprehended injustice it would do the In
dians, and the mpolicy OF disturbing the Nilsson
ri compromise. The first objection, if it be II
good one may be removed by throwing into the
bill all proper regulations and provisions: the Sc
eond has no force, because the country agreed in
the compromise, of 1850 10 establish different
principle from that contained in the Missouri
compromise and thus deprived that measure of all
vitality. In his speech, GEN. II. eondeseended
to take the following notice of a Richmond con

THE NEWS BY THE CANADA, of which We give
Us full report "a our space will permit possesses
more than ordinary interest. 1t is more war-iike
than any we have yet had. We cannot imagine
how the issue can be longer postponed much less
nverted. The allusion IN the Queens speech to
the imminence of war. and her recommendations
that Ministers are etped t4a GoRRa The ra
inored withdrawal of the Russian ambassadors
and the recall of the French and English Minis
tiers from st. Petersburg, most significant
facts, and taken in connection with the large
force ordered to be raised in France, denote a
nearer approach to general hostilities than re-
cent adyiees had indicated. 1t is still possible
that pence may be preserved bat the probabili-
ties are all the other way.

auctuating state of the English funds ii is graft

that-'.lt affords me great pleasure to

Mrs. Rosa Wiley writes to similar
agent-"It is with heartfelt gratitude
that I acknowledge the receipt Of the
sum of $1,000. being the amount Of
thspolicy of insurance on the life Of
my late husband" These are pretty
strong expressions on the part Of these
ladies. and when it is borne in mind
that their joy is the result of the death
their husbands they are very curious of
expressions. As we'll they might
have written-"We are mighty glad
our husbands are dead, SO that we can
