STATE EYGIYEER'S CANAL REPORT
From The Albany Erening Journal, Jan. %.

From The albany Erening Journal, Jan o.
The Report Is full clear and methodic, and presents
views of the Improvement policy, which are broad
and statesmanlike The Engineers wel-ressoned con-
cmsion that the Enlarged Erie Canal have no need to
be protected against the railroad other competition,
will meet the sense of the best business men of the
state and will serve to confirm the wise policy which
established this great enterprise.
The Report assumes that there will be deficiency
in the means provided by the Constitution for the
completion of the public works, of about se,SoOOo
This deficiency, il it should exist Mr. Clark recon-
mends should be met by direct half mill tax, which
would produce about s7OO, 900 per annum.
The Report also contains some valuable suggestions
in regard to the Superintendenee of Repairs, under
the contract system The State Engineer OF opinion
that the duty should be confded to the Canal Commits
soners rather than to persons to be selected by the
Canal Board.
Mr.. CLARK reerates his hitherto expressed opinions
in favor of the sale of the public works. But this point
is not pressed as he evidently paakes of the general
sentiment that the necessity for such disposition OF
the canals would be deeply humilating.
The views expressed in regard to the appraisal Of
canal damages, and other matters connected with the
canal policy of the State will commend themselves to
the atteltiOn of the public

THREE DAYS

ARRIVAL OF The AFRICA.
PEACE PROSPECTS NOT so BRIGHT.
Russia Determined 20 Prosccute a.
War.
CoNsoLs 80 SO TO &c 20.

The British and North American Mail steamship
Africa from Liverpool on Wednesday morning. Tho
9th inst, arrived Of Sandy Hook about O'Clock o.
Wednesday morning, the esd, bat owing to the loo 10
the hmbOr did no, reseh her dock until 81 o'clock.
The United States Mail steamer Baltic arrived ~
Liverpool ct q O'Clock on Tuesday, the ssh.
The America sailed from Liverpool Saturday, tho
5th isst at 10 o'clock in the morning.
The intelligence by this arrival consists merely q
an extension Of the previously prevailing pcaccrmors.
Nothing definite is yet Known from St. Petersburg.
Specua.ions continue to be contradictory. Interviews
had taken place between Counts Nesselrodeand Ester
hazy, but the main questions at issue had not beea
discussed.
The expectation from Russia Is neither refassi nor
acceptance but such modifedcounter proposition ~
may give rise to negotiation and delay On the other
hand the Palmers.on Cabinet m fst meet Pnrainens,
early in Reu month, with decided announcements
either Of peace As regards France, rumoS 70
ports the tone of the French Government again
more warrke, bus this feeling may be incressedor
diminished by the decision OF the Allied Council o.
War, about to open rs session in Paris.
Russian preparations to continue the conflict are ON
larger scale than ever. Briefly the hopes Of pescs
have received little or no confirmation. From the
Crmea there is nothing of Importance. On the ssd
of December the French blew up enc of the FIVE docks
Of Sevastopo, and reduced that fine work to heap
Of ruins.
Affairs in Asia Minor are unchanged
Various items Of intelligence will be found below.
In the Liverpool CorrOs market buyers are timid
and holders eager the business of the three days hss
been 5000 bales, Of which 900 were taken on specu-
aton and 1000 for export. The market is dull, and
while some authorities report prices as unchanged,
Others quote 3D. a Id. decline since Friday.
BRyADsruFrs are in better demand WHEAT at a
advance of I'd. bushel and FLOUR Cd to 3D. dearer.
Holders of INDIAN Corn demanded an advance which
was not acceded TO BY buyers. BEEF in rather moro
request Pork still neglected. BACON unchanged
LARD rather easier. RosIS freely offered at 4Is.
CossoLs are about s6t as6i, the slight advance
having arisen from some heavy purchases having
been made by those who had oversold.

OUR RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND.


WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Jan. 90, 1856.
Mr.. Buchanan writes that he will relinquish his
mission on the 10Th of February, whether sue
cessor be nominated or not. He will appoint Mr..
Campbell the Consul at London to the post Of
Charge d'Affaires. There being no Secretary of
Legation at the present juncture, this proceeding
may temporarily embarrass our relations, as the
intelligence of Mr.. Champions recall will occupy
Lord Palmerston at the same time.
No official answer has been received from Den
mark on Mr.. Marcy's proposition of the Sd of No
vember to pay the cost of lighthouses and buoys
instead of the capitalization suggested from the
other side, and now soon expected. The European
Congress on this subject was abandoned, owing to
political complications.
Mr.. Orr's nomination by the Democratic caucus
will not facilitate the organization of the House. The
platform was reafirmed to vindcate Mr. Richard
sons withdrawal The Southern Members will not
take Orr, and therefore the triangular war will be
unchanged until some new development.

THE GERMANS AND SLAVERY.

To he Editor Of Then TrSvn.
SIR In an article headed 1.-THE Germans and
Slavery" in your paper of the 22d inst, find you
take the ground that Germans are virtual and prac-
cal uphoders Of Slavery" How far this will apply to
Germans throughout the United States, know not;
but from personal knowledge gained by many years'
residence in Missouri, am convinced that you are
correct 20 far as applies to the Catholic Germans OF
that State. Commence at st. Louis follow the Mis-
soun Usage and Gasconade rivers, and wherever you
find Catholic Germans possessing farms OF any size,
YOU will with but few exceptions fnd them owners OF
slaves. So with the inland counties near and adjacent
to Kansas.
II such il the case in Missouri, see no reason why
il will not with equal force apply TO Germans in other
Co.,. yours w. @.

snaee for the moment either in public fame or public
scandal disappear suddenly from the scene andare for
gotten as the wave oftme passes over, until sgain they
