ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA.
HALIFAX, Nov. 90, A. NJ

" ~ot Ia AZ
The steamship Niagara arrived here
at midnight, with Liverpool dates to Sat-
urday the 9Th inst.
The Niagara left Liverpool on the af-
%ternoon of the 9Th inst, and passed on
the same day the Ericsson only eight
miles from Liverpool.
The Persian arrived out on the eve of
the 9TH inst, a trip of nine days and
hours, meantime the Angelo Saxon ar
rived at Liverpool, from Quebec on the
5th.
There are additional symptoms of a
close union between France, Russia and
Prussia. 1t would appear that France
supports the unconditional admission of
Russia n Prussia to the second meet
ing of the European conference, while
England is said to oppose the admission
of the former, and Austria of the latter.
Treaties of commerce between Russia
and France, and railway treaties be-
tween Russia and Prussia were in prep
a~ration.
Lord Palmerston had delivered an.
address On education before a large as
sembly in the Free Trade hall in Man
chester, He also made two speeches in
defence of his foreign policy. In Lord
Palmerston's speech at Manchester, he
used the following expression, which
thad been the subject of much comment /:
I hope the peace will be lasting, but
endurance must depend on the fidelity
with which the conditions are fulfilled.
If the power which provoked hostility
is faithfully carried out in the treaty,
there can be no doubt that peace will
long be preserved"
On the 9th inst, the directors of the
Bank of England held a protracted sit
ting, during which they considered the
expediency of making a further change
in the rate of discount, with a view of
arresting the continued outflow of gold.
The resolution not to make any charge
for the present, was arrived at by q ma
jority of one.
The condition of the bank of France
shows no improvement.
FRANCE.-Rumers continue ofa prob
able modification of the ministry.
The official editorial in lie Constitu-
tional on the question at issue between
the French and English governments
says, the presence of naval squadron OF
English in the Black Sea, and the Aus
TRANS in the Principalities, are hence
forth only arbitrary, and a violent means
of preventing a solution of the difference
in which Russia has been the first to
propose in offering to submit the ques-
ton to its natural judges. Is it desired
rather to have recourse to arms Is
war again desired =? Does the English
ministry itch to enter again upon hos
~tilities without France? Not certainly
to assure the execution of the treaty of
Paris, but imprudently to rend it to
pieces in the face of the world, with the
object of satisfying an ambition that had
been for the moment disguised.
We repeat that it now depends upon
the Cabinets of London and Vienna to
put an end to the pending disputes, and
terminate the anxieties to which the
present situation gives rise.
1t is rumored at Paris that the French
fleet is about to proceed to the Black
Sea. 1t is not certain.
NAPLEs-The Paris Patrie says the
manifesto from the Neapositan Govern
ment is daily expected, aud if not con-
ciliatory, the Neapolitan Envoy of both
France and England will probably de-
lnand their passports.
RUssIA.-It is said that a new treaty
of has been settled between
Russia and Prussia, with the view of an
international railway communication.
The concession of the Russian railways
to the credit of Mobilerawas signed De-
