FRANCE AND ENGLAND

The London Times by its ertrayagant attacks the

opposition journals Of New York, by treating those jour

The Times which must be vitupersdng somebody, ia

liberty Of the press, which the Times constues tina. lib

who docs not happen to be concerned in newspapers
Meantime the Morning Post which is understood to speak
the sentiments Of Lord Palmerston, earnestly sbors to
keep the peace
All that Is ineligible enough. The supposed entente

GREAT BRITAIN AND AUSTRIA.

The ministerial 0ssreehisehe Correspondents contains
article in reutaton of the assertion of the French and
English journals that Austria is bound by treaty imm0
diaey withdraw her troops from the Danubian princi
paliies:
repeat that the prolonged Austrian occupation OF
the Danubau prncpaies Ia based the legal right
as the occupation Of the Black by Great Britain"
So it seems that in addition to participating with
France in the military occupation of Greece-an occupa-
ton which commenced in violation of right out
cused as begerent measure and has been scanda
lousy continued for six months after the conclusion of
peaceGreat Britain also continues to occupy the Black
sea with her fleets in fragrant violation of the arrange
ments of Paris.

The SSow-SToRM.-The storm which COM
menced about noon on Saturday last and ter
minated about two or three o'clock on Sunday
morning, was one Of the most violent that has
visited US for long time. The snow fell to
the depth of near two feet on q level, but bank
ed in many places FIVE or six feet high. 1t
showed in the good old-fashioned style, as 1t
did when our grandfathers were boys. 1t came
steadily and rapidly, falling in the successive
waves technically termed "w wind-rows," for
more than twelve hours. Sunday morning the
sun rose beautifully, but upon empty streets,
except the banks of snow and those who were
clearing the way before them with the shovel.
The churches were nearly or quite neglected
and travelling of every kind suspended, except
Two or three adventurous sleighs, which turned
out in the afternoon 10 dive into the banks.
The mails have been considerably detained In
consequence of the difficulty of travel. Nc
mail at all reached us on Monday from below
while all are several hours behind the usua
tine.
The sleeti and snow together have prevented
the entrance of wagons into our town, for near
" two weeks, the result of which is that WOO
is becoming scarce, and some persons are en-
tirely without this indispensable article.

Mr.. Editor We left Smyrna on Monday
morning by VanGesel's line, driven by that
knight Of the whip Cantwell--noted for his
carefulness and promptness of dispaich-who
landed us at the end OF his route safely; where
we were obliged to wait an hour and a half for
the " ZeI hyr." Then placed ourselves in the
care Of Captain Vandegrif, than whom is not
TO be found more kind, gentlemanly comman-
der among the many boats ply ng in the waters
of the ma iestic Delaware. Soon after we left
the shore the boat "run on a bar" and after
var .ous attempts to get her of; il was Thought
best to wait for the tide, which came TO our
relief IN about two hours. During that time
We were like many idlers and going to- be-some.
things who are waiting for the tide, or some.
thing to turn up, which will watt them to fame,
wealth or honor, without an effort Hence
they live in the ideal-fdiure, passive, inactive
unlike the noble Zephyr with steam up, ma
chinery working, ready to move at the first
flow of the tide. n IT,.

election, came near breaking up in row, and

The Editor undoubtedly has a remarkable
recollection, which is very materially assisted
by lively imagination. 1t will be recollected
that he promised two or three weeks since to
prove that the resolutions of the Maine Law
ties were incesd,ary. The above extract, we
presume, is the proof that the Maine Law-ites
are incendiares. Now, when we speak of in
cendlaries, the article of fire is lnseperably
associated with it in some form; and, for bet
ter understanding of FIRE, we will draw on the
Hard-Shell preacher, who thus illucidates it:
"Now thar's great many kinds Nv fire in
the world. In the fust place, thars the com.
mon sort Nv fire you light your segar o; pipe
with, and then thar's tox-fire and camirc, fire
