fS- Although the copper mining interest
in this country is as yet, in its infancy, il has
already produced results that give promise of
its soon standing among the foremost Of our
industrial pursuits. Previous to 1910 We
were entirely DEPENDENT on England for our
supply Of this metal, while now We are pro.
ducng about 5000 tons of it, equal TO l.l7th
of the amount required TO meet the demand

WAsHIKGToS, Feb. 40.

The Canada's mails have arrived. 1t is
ascertained from well informed sources that
the Government dispatches contain nothing
of definite character from England, nor is
there any prospect OF an early settlement Of
'matters in dispute between this and that
Government. We have no information to
confirm the report that angry words passed
between Mr.. Buchanan and Lord Clarendon.
Mr. Champion is reported to have received
fresh Instructions not to absent himself from
Washington as heretofore.

HALIFAX, Feb. 90.
1t is still! current in Paris that Prussia vii
not DO permitted to participate in the con
ference.
Gortschakoff when signing the protocol al

that Prussia be invited to take n part-Buo

Sir Seymour wished to refer to their Gov.

The acceptance by Russia caused The
greatest establishment in Turkey. 1t had not
reached the Crimea at latest dates. A serious
military conspiracy was reported at Madrid,
with ramifcations through North Spain. No
particulars were given.
There is nothing from England. Bread
stuffs had declined Confidence in peace was
daily increasing.
NEw York, Feb. "a.
The steamers Atlantic and Asia arrived to-
day, with Liverpool dates to the 9th.
Peace negotiations were progressing favo.
rably. The preliminaries had been duly rati.
fed, and the conference would be opened in
Paris in about three weeks. The aspect of
affairs, however, between England and the
United States was threatening. The story
of n difficulty between Mr.. Buchanan and
Lord Clarendon is repeated, and it was even
reported that the former had demanded his
passports. The tone of the Government or
gans was highly offensive towards the Uni
ted States. The latest report is that Sir II.
l.. Bulwer had offered 10 mediate between
Mr.. Buchanan and the English Minister.
In consequence of these events, Consols
had receded to 90t at the middle of the
week, but subsequently rallied, closing ut
9la9lS.
Cotton was quiet, with sales of $4,000
bales. Some circulars quote prices rs easier.
Money more stringent. Flour had declined

The peace nipotcntiaries were beginning
TO assemble in Paris. Sir Henry Bulwer
had offered to mediate between Mr.. Buchan-
an and Lord Clarendon. In the House of
Commons, Lord Palmcrston announced that
the correspondence on Central affairs would
be laid before Parliament when completed.
Mr.. Bailie postponed his motion in relation
to the enlistment of soldiers in the United
States until the correspondence should be
published. The latest advces ut Liverpool
by telegraph from London, on the 9th inst,
state that the London Times Of that date cen.
sures the course taken by the English and
American Cabinets, and, after remarkng that
even humanity must have limits, concludes
by saying
awe are as DESTROYS of peace as Mr. Cob
ben can BE-, bnt we know that when nation
becomes too proud to listen to reason, the
only appeal is to arms"

cB- According to the last advices from
Nicaragua, the Walker government is ex'
periencing the difficulty which broke down
Santa Anna in Mexico, and that is the want
of money. Not single soldier has received,
since the opening of the campaign, any thing
more substantial than promises to pay. The
additions to his army, instead of strength
enng him, are likely to add to his difficulties.
Some of the men are growing very urgent for

which cannot be postponed. Want of funds
has checked many project as ambitious as

10 the Atlanta InteIIigehcero of the 9th:
Philadelphia, Feb. 25.-The Convention
last night nominated Mr. Fillmore for Presi

Vice President.
Another despatch, which will be found on

Northern delegates seeded. A railroad pas
'senger brings intelligence that the seceders
returned, and took part in the nomination,
which was received with much enthusiasm.
The dispatches and reports from the Con-

therefore, may not be altogether reliable

Mr. FILLMORE is true. We shall pro6a-
