A letter from London says that most of
the French Ministers expect that Russia will
accept of the terms of peace proposed. while
a majority of the British Ministers think csh-
erwise. The Russian paper published al
Brussels, concludes an article with this Ian
euage :-"As to an uliimatum having been
rendered by Austria, there is nothing in the
recent acts of that power to induce US 10 be.
leve that she is disposed 10 show herself
more vigorous towards Russia Than she has
been hitherto But if it were well estab.
lished fact that Austria ha! sent to s.. Pc
lersburg such message as is ascribed TO
her, then, certainly, we should be farther
than ever from peace. IF, since The confer
ences, Austria has changed her opinion as to
the terms Of peace which Russia shl sign,

which ii would be disgraceful and impossi-

Our foreign Relations,

WASHINGTON, Jan. l9,-The Un,on says
that no such question as the suspension of di-
plomatic intercourse had been before the
Cabinet. Our relations with Great Britain are
certainly delicate, and perhaps critical, but a
proposed withdrawal of Ministers is not
among the evidences going to intimate The
aelicacy Of those relations. The Uaion says
-''We cannot deny that there are serious
questions of difference b eiween the twogov.

Hoto Mach Ought Scholars to Read at Les
son I'VE are sometimes asked this ques-
tion, and we think it an important one. "Not
how mnch, but how WELL" should be the
motto of every Teacher. Often one para
graph is enough for lesson. Suppose this
sentence occurred inaleading lesson: t:Shall
we talk about beasfsor birds ?" |, would
be far better for the Teacher 10 insist upon
the rising infection upon beasts and The fall
ing upon birds, and continue 10 practice the
class until all can read it correctly, than to
read pages without it, When that sentence
is read correctly, point has been made-,a
principle developed. This is lrue of all read
ing in school. Too much is generally read,
unless better.
What is true with regard 10 reading, is
likewise true Of spelling. Too mucE of ii
is done. Every word missed should be
learned before it is left for another How
often is this neglected. The most of out lit
lie scholars are not able 10 master more than
one difficult word al lesson, so as to re-
member il. If but one word is permanently
learned at lesson, progress has been made

VIEW DRUNsWICki DeC. to, IoOot
DEAR SIR: thank you for the Philosophi-
cal Charts. They furnish an admirable sub
sIilute for the far more expensive apparatus.
These Charts, hung on the walls of the school
room, in all which hope TO see them, will
spread before the scholar palpable illustra-
lion of the great laws in Natural Philosophy.
He will learn much of God from the works
of His hand aud the ordinances Of His ap-
pointmeni.
The small volume that comes with them,
and a little explanation by the teacher, will
render the Charts one of the most useful
means of destruction
