Gated in the war are perhaps now in ses-
sion in Paris, discussing the details Of the
auXiouslY expected peace.
In the same connection it will be obServ-
ed, that the imperious and naughty Pal
merston ministry seems bent on elfecting a
rupture between England and the United
States, if possible. The first tocsin of
alarm has been sounded in the rude treat
ment which has been offered to Mr.. Buch-
anan, and the brow-beatiug attitude of the
ministry. The people of Manchester aud
Liverpool, the manufacturing and CONNER
cial classes, are already moving against the
government. They are the people who
would be most affected by war with us,
and their voice must and will be heard.
On our first page will also be found a
portion of the proceedings of the national
know-nothing council, which met at Phila-
delphia on the 22d of February last, and
which nominated the Hon. Millard Fill
more for the presidency, and Col. A. j.
Donaldson, of Tennessee, for the vice pres
idency. Their session was tumultuous and
stormy, owing to the attempt 10 strike ont
the twelfth section of the national platform.
1t seems, however, that prior TO the
nomination being made, the delegates from
several Of the northern states Withdrew, so
the nominations cannot be looked upon as
at all unanimous.
We find nothing of especial interest as
transpiring in San Francisco or California.
AT an election for municipal officers re-
Gently held in Marysvillc, Cal, the result
shows decided democratic triumph over
" WOO" and darkness" : i '..s'.'
Since tho organization of the present
congress, the legislature of that state has
adopted joint resolution expressive Of
their profound regret at the election of Mr.
Banks. There were but eleven votes
against the resolution-ffty-nine in favor
As was generally anticipated, the dele
gates from the democratic party in that
state have received instructions to cast the
vote Of California in the national colven-
tion at Cincinnati, for the Hon. james
Buchanan of Pennsylvania, for the presi-
dency of the United States
The Bark Julia AHne, Of San Francisco,
PoND master, was wrecked on the Sicily
isles reef, short time since. Five lives
were lost, and the captain, crew and pas
sengers were, for some time, subjected to
almost unexnmpled suffering. 4 b
JEWISH CHURCH CEREMoNY.-The rellg-
ious festival of the Israelites, called Turin,
was celebrated March 2lst, in the Jewish
synagogue of Sau Francisco. The services
consisted Of the reading of the book Of Es-
ther, which contains the history of the suf-
fering and miraculous deliyerance of the
Israeliies at the time of the reign Of king
Ahasuerus. The Rev. Mr.. Bien, OF the
Broadway synagogue, delivered very
able discourse in the German language.
A final decision has at length been made
by president PIERCE, in the long disputed
right of Col. j. G. FREMONT to the Maripo-
sa land claim, and unless some final obsta-
Gle be started the case may be considered
as closed. The decision Of the president
will save a mandamES from the supreme
court, which would have been served at
short notice after the triaiug that has been
attempted with its decisions. ..r Hl
