PAnvUM IN MuLTo.-Some one has said that
Multum in Parvo is the Spirit of the Age Poor
editors will rejoice to hear this. for Parvum in
Multo is the Practice of the Age. What with
Telegraphic Reports of Public Speeches, Popular
Meetings, Congressional and Legislative Debates
and Foreign News, the History of Day is
spread out into huge columns which should make
the History of Centuries. Everything at pre-
sent is too voluminous and the editor, more
than any other, feels the effect of this. Con-
densation must be effected, very often to the in
justice of many; everything in a newspaper
must be short, epigrammic; Much in Little !;
the lemon must be squeezed, the juice extracted );
the spirit Of passing events carefully presented
in concrete form, and the outside extraneous
peel thrown away as a valueless excresence.

WASHINGTON IN AN ENGLISH REG1MENr.-The
Liverpool Times, of late date, gives long
account of the 28th Regiment of the English
service-one of those recently embarked for the
seat of war-and although, from time to time,
by the fortune of war and the lapse of years, its
ranks have been many times thinned and re-
plenished again, its ancient histories are pre-
served and held in remembrance by the new re-
cruits. During the Revolution, and previous to
the breaking out of the war between the colonies
and the mother country, the 'twenty-eighth -
was stationed in America, and Washington, then
a young man, it is said. held rank in it. 1t was
at the siege of Quebec when Wolfe fell, and per-
formed sterling service at Waterloo, and after
wards was engaged in India.

The MoRMoNs.-The Desert News publishes
a report from the Mormon missionaries sent to
China. They met with such poor success that
they returned to San Francisco after a few
months labor among the Celestials. At Hong
Kong they preached in the streets, and soon
found that the Chinese who could speak English
had "no time to talk religion The Mormon
books were returned unread, and so the mis-
sionaries returned themselves From Hindostan
reports are also discouraging. From Cape Of
Good Hope the reports show considerable pro-
gress. The missionaries to the Sandwich Islands
also report great success. The reports of the
travelling elders in Utah show general prosperity
in settlements, crops, buildings, manufactures,
and spiritual matters.

IMPORTANT PROCEEDING IN THE BRITISH
PARLIAMENr-Among the news brought by
the steamer Canada, we find the following
The coasting trade bill was read second
time in the House of Lords on the 18th ult.
Lord Stanley said, that by repeal of the
laws of the British coasting trade, there was
no doubt the United States would in time
see it to their advantage to make similar
concessions
The Earl of Derby asked, would the effect
of passing the present bill, which would
throw open the British coasting trade to
American shipping, be to give the British
the benefit of the coasting trade Of America
Lord Stanley did not mean that it was in
cumbent on the United States 10 open their
coasting trade, but it would relieve them
from the constitutional objections that had
been urged against opening the carrying
trade to California.
The Earl Of Derby thought that Britain
had strong claim in equity to the whole
trade Of the United States, including Califor-
mia. The bill was then read second time.
In the House Of Commons, on the 10th,
Mr.. D'Israeli asked if Government had
received renewed proposals from Russia to
settle the Eastern difficulty.
Lord John Russell briefly replied, that no
proposition had been submitted to her Ma
jesty's Minister at Vienna.
In the House of Commons, Mr.. Miner
Gibson had made an address, praying that
in the event of war, her Majesty would
give directions to abstain from interfering
with neutral flags, not containing contraband
munitions Of war. He also suggested the
policy Of entering into similar treaty with
the United States and other countries.

During the reign of Charles the First, of En-
gland, q country girl came to London and hired
herself to carry beer from a warehouse. The
brewer, liking her looks took her into his family
as servant and after a short time married her.
When he died he left her the bulk Of his pro-
perry She was recommended to Mr.. Hyde, as
skillful lawyer, to arrange her husbands estate
As her fortune was large, Hyde, who was after
wards Earl of Clarendon, married her. Their
daughter was the wife of James II, and mother
of Mary and Anne, Queens of England.

FASHIONABLE DANcEs.-The London cores
pondent of the New York Sunday Times, in his
last letter, writes as follows concerning the
dances that are at present SO much in vogue
among the devotees of fashion in this country:
Archbishop Cullen, of Dublin, has issued a
Lenten Pastoral, in which, under pain Of CEN
sure from the Roman Catholic Church, he tells
his flock never to engage in those improper
dances imported from other countries, and re-
tanning foreign names, such as polkas and
waltzes, which are so repugnant to the notions
of strict Christian morality, are condemned by
many of the highest and most respectable mem
bers of society, and are at direct variance with
that purity and modesty of the female character
for which Ireland has ever been distinguished.
1t is fact that, here in London, polkas, waltzes
and schottishes are not danced now, in any COM
pany pretending to be fashionable. Country
dances, and the stately Spanish march, ending
with the contra-danse 'down the middle, are
the ton"

Laura at Lovelyn's Grave.

By Mrs. DR.. ALBERT CRANE-Late "J,lzia," Of Mob
Love, thou are gone, and with thee went
My hope, my heart, my heaven too;
Thou vert my life, and it is spent,
I've nothing now to loose or rue.
The morning comes like glad wave
Breaking in beauty DER the sky,
But see nothing but thy grave,
And hear nothing but thy sigh.
All nature is a Jubilee
Arrayed in summer-light and bloom,
To me she's dim, it seems to me
She wears the shadow Of thy tomb.
To all I'm strange, to all I'm lost,
I have no memory but thee,
I'm like lonely orphan tost
Upon the mighty, mighty sea-
know there's some sweet home above
Where love forever has its own,
Where the eagle never leaves its dove,
Where nothing e'er was left alone;
Where ne'er bird was known to pine,
Because no breeze caressed its wing,
Where there was ne'er withered vine,
Because it had no place to cling.
Where meier star was known to set,
Where meier cloud darken'd the air,
Wen meet, Wen meet, my Lovelyn yet,
And be heart.twins forever there!
