LORD RAGLAN.-This gentleman. Com
mander-in Chief Of the English forces in
the Crimea. is said TO be no other than
Lord Fitzroy Somerset, whose name oc-
CURED so frequently, with honorable men,
ton, in Wellington's dispatches relative
10 the Peninsular War. He is the son OF
the Duke of Beaufort. and thus one Of the
highest aris,ocracy. The family name is
Somerset, and we wonder that their fami.
ly appellatlons are not preserved by the
nobility, even il titles innumerable are
tagged 10 it. Raglan Castle is one of the
posse ssions of the Somersets.

nT The rumor, mentioned in the pa
pers this week, that the British and French
Governments had entered a remonstrance
against the acquisition by the United
States of the Sandwich Islands, is without
foundation. ltistrue, however, that there
has been correspondence onthe subject.
The ministers referred to have modestly
asked what are the intentions Of the u
S. Government in this matter. The inter.
ference OF the; British Consul General at
Honolulu will not be approved by his own
government.

which the tenderest lies Of social life have been

In these days Of women's rights ii seems that the

Southern Literary Messenger.

We sTein receipt OF the November number,
1855, of this valuable and conservative Southern
Journal. We learn with regret that it will close
its career on tie LIST of January, 1855, unless its
subscription list be materially enlarged. This work
has now reachedis 2lst vOlu re. and it does op-
pear 10 US to be blur upon the patrons and the
pride and position of Southern Literature that the
men of the South should permit this Journal to
expire now, simply for the want that sine qua
non OF all periodicals, pay patronage. Our citizens
buy daily. yes hourly, the Is cent trash publtca-
tons with which we are constantly flooded from the
north, trast that not only WASTES the time and mo-
neyof the reader, but scatlers broadcast over the
land, viciousand impure views of morality, while
they necessarily produce habits of trashy idle read
ing, while they will suffer this, a southern jour
nall devoted 10 the promotion of her best interests,
conservative in its politics, and pure in its morals,
devoted also 10 the attainment OF pure aud high
standard of literarysmerit. while it frowns upon
the agrarian and anli-national Opinions so often
promulgated at the north, and looking generally to
the intellectual, moral and social development of
the south ;the sing into entityo vanish ont of
existence, simply because tLey do not subscribe
50, 10 this their home literature, to this their home
effort, while they lavish double the amount on the
northern Trash which is ever hawked about u.s.
Should this be! Should we not rather encourage
home Litefatu,e anu home efrolt, and thus build
up our natiTeielOrt and stimulate it to higher
complshmentl Certainly we should be willing to
make the, effort, and certainly where Southern
literature issuperior should hesitate but little
in manifesting our preference, in material aid, to
Southern tfort. The Messenger is issued monthly
4, 70 pages each number, for So per annunl, and we
ore confident that few will regret their subssrip-
ton. We will receive aud forward the names of
such Of our citizens as may desire to take this jour
nal from.the Isl of January next. the price to be

A NEw EUROPEAN CoMPLIcArlox.-The Lon
don Morning Advertiser speaks with great earnest
ness Of new and grand complication which has
lately occurred in the position of European affairs
The Advertiser alludes to the conduct of Austria
and Sardinia. 1t alleges that an importont cores
pOndence has just taken place between those two
powers respecting the attitude which Sardinia has
recently assumed, not only in relation 10 the part
which she is taking in favor of Turkey, in con-
junction with the Western Powers, but with re-
gard to the adoption of constitutional principles in
the administration of her domestic affairs. Aus.
tria, says the Advertiser, is not only indignant at
the conduct of Sardrnia,-she is perfectly furious
and Count Buol has addressed some Of the most
Insolent dispatches 10 the Sandman Government,
complaining of its liberalism, which ever were
indIted by diplomatic pen. The Advertiser is
very wroth, and calls upon the Western Allies 10
bring Austria 10 hex knees and compel her 10 offer
an AFFECT apology.
