The Asia arrived at Halifax yesterday morn
ing, with dates from Liverpool to the Dist ult.
Tie intelligence she brings is Of no great im-
portance though not destitute Of interest Mr.
ROebuck's motion for vote Of censure on the
Government, after being debated at great
length, was thrown ont in the House Of Com
mons by majority Of 107. The Palmerston
Ministry has therefore new lease Of life The
general prospects Of the war were not en-
couragiDg. The successes and losses Of the
Allies before SevastopOl seem to be about
equally balanced The Sardini4n and Turkish
forces have again withdrawn from the valley Of
Baidsr to Balaklava. The report is confirmed
that the Russians have received reeDforcements.
Accounts from Asia state tat the Russian army,
under Gen. Mura lief, had invested Kars, while
small army corps had advanced upon Katais
and was pressing the Turkish garrison OF Ba-
toum. The Black Warrior dispute with the
United States is at last definitely settled, the
Spanish Government agreeing to pay az indem-
nifty Of million reals.

union with such country, that vast domain Of
North America, which under British rule
50 long remained no wiling wilderness, would
rapidly be made to glow with civilization aud
with power.
If Mr.. Howe has the welfare Of Nova Scotia
ard the other Colonies st heart, as We have no
doubt be ha., be should advocate such a union
as would bring the people there in contact With
the energetic race which peoples this Continent
in contact with the education and all the maui
fold appliances of civilization aud industry
which exist on this side the frontier, and thus
lsy the foundation for those relations with the
world at large, which are never produced by
artificial bonds, but by genuine impulses that
yiyify and make nation-such impulses as that
at the heart of cur people, and such impulses
as must soon communicate themselves TO the
hear. Of the Noya.Scotia people, if they will
only Join their natural allies by proximity and
community of interest, and not continue an ua-
natural union held together by the rusty tape OF
tradition and a spurious fealty.

FEDERATION OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE

There is certainly something grand aud in-
posing in such conception as that put forth By
Mr. Howe of Noys Scotia of Federal Union OF
the entire British Empire, parent country aud
colonies. 1t is an idea which no narrow mind
could ever originate, at the same time that 1t Is
based upon a principle which common sense ac-
cepts and the experience of America yindc,tes,
as the sum of political wisdom. We mean of
course the federal principle, in applying which
we know of only one political theorist who ex-
cells Mr. Howe in breadth and boldness; this is
Fourier, who proposes and fcretells federation
of the entire globe, with perfect local self gov
eminent in every province, and the universal
capital at CoBstantinople, where the affairs OF
the sphere will be cared for with due splendor
and success. There may be truth in this sublime
piece of imagination, as there may be in Mr..
Howe's; but we have to do with the practical
realities and needs of to-day.
To a Federal Union one princpls is absO.
lutely essential: proximity of place. To a
heslthy Federal Union another is essential:
community of institutions. The North Aneri-
can colonies possess neither as regards England.
1t is true that steam, which has gathered the
world in its iron grasp, has brought Halifax
within as short distance of London as az the
opening Of this century were some distant parts
Of Scotland and of Ireland. Bat in the ocean ma
ture has opposed huge barrier TO such union,

read with interest They diyulged the startling
fact that on Wards leland alone the services of
