THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

The steamer Canada, from Liverpool, with
dates to the 2lst arrived at Halifax, July /.
She brings the following.
The excitement in England consequent
upon Mr.. Champions arrival out had speedily
subsidized. Mr.. Dallas had not been dismissed
and would not be.
The recruiting business was regarded as
definitely settled and hopes were freely inter
changed that the Central American question
wood soon be also.
Mr.. Buchanan's nomination for the Presi-
dency had made but little stir.
Peace meetings and the adoption Of friendly
addresses to America we're abundant.
Mr.. Babies motion in the House Of Com
mons respecting the American difficulties, and
IN which 1t was supposed Lord Palmerston's
ministry would be defeated and resign, had
been withdrawn.
A rumor prevailed that Great Britain would
send no Minister to Washington during the
administration of President Pierce. This was.
however, merely rumor.

thorize the bona tide residents of Kansas to
form State constitution, &c, is the test to
which we allude.
This bill provides ample guaranty for free
discussion, for free voting by the bona Jfde
residents, and for the exclusion of all others
than the bona tide residents.
Though differences of opinion, on constitu-
tional grounds, exist among Southern poll
ticians as to the proprety of passing this bill,
none exist among the Abolition party in the
House of Representatives.
BY voting for the admission of Kansas as o
State with the Topeka constitution, as they did
on Monday last, the Abolitionists of the House
declared they had no objection to the admission
of Kansas with less population than the
ratio of representation.
There are Southern men, (how many we do
not yet know,) who do not think they would be
justified in voting to admit Kansas before she
shall have the requisite population, yet, al
though this may cause division on constitu-
tional grounds, among Southern men, it can
cause none among the Abolitionists, if they ad-
here consistently to their views expressed by
their vote of Monday last
Again, division will doubtless arise among
Southern members because they believe the
organization by Emigrant Aid Societies to
throw voters into Kansas will give an undue
advantage to the North. This, however, will
be no objection with the Abolitionsts, and if
they believe what they (of Congress) have been
telling their constituents they believe what
their party friends in Kansas have declared on
oath, and if they believe what their majority Of
the Investigating Committee have reported
IN fine If THEY ARE SINCERE, every one OF
them must cote for the 'TooMBs BILL
While the public will look upon their voting
in favor of this bill as test of the sincerity of
the Abolitionists, it is evident that the same
rule will not apply to Southern representatives.
Constitutional scruples will restrain some,
and policy others.
The excellent law of Kansas introduced into
the Legislature and carried through that body
by Mr. Stringfellow who is now in this city,
which provides for the assembling of conven-
ton in October next, to take into consideration
the propriety of framing constitution, &c,
must be preferred by many, who will be dis
posed to endorse the action Of the Legislature,
and indisposed to concede anything to the trea.
sonable resistance Of the laU ,ohicA has caused
all the confusion in Kansas.
1t is believed that the Abolitionists do not in
fact desire to quiet the difficulties in Kansas.
1t is charged that their object is to keep alive
and even increase the excitement and blood
shed in that territory, SO as to operate on the
Presidential election.
The course which shall be pursued by them
in regard to the Toombs bill will test the
value of this charge.

Strychnine.

In Ceylon and several districts of India grows
a moderate sized tree, with thick shining leaves,
and short crooked stem. In the fruit season
it is readily recognised byits rich orange col
ored berries, about as large as golden pippins;
the favorite food of many kinds of birds, within
which are the fiat round seeds, not an inch in
diameter, ash grey in color, and covered with
very minute silky hairs. The Germans fancy
they can discover a resemblance in them to
grey eyes, and call them crows eyes, but the
likeness is purely imaginary. The tree is the
strychnine nux vomica, and the seed is the
deadly poison nut. The latter was early used
as medicine by the Hindoos, and its nature
and properties understood by Oriental doctors
long before it was known to foreign nations.
Dog killer and fish scale are two of its Arabic
names. It is stated that at present the natives
of Hindostan often take it for many months
continuously, in much the same way as an
opium eater eats opium. They commence with
taking the eighth part of nut day, and
gradually increase their allowance to an entire
nut, which would be about twenty grains. If
they eat it directly before or after food, no I'M
pleasant effects are produced but if they neg
ect this precaution, spasms result.-Household

ROYAL ExTRAvAGANcE.-The sum of $780,.
600 francs has been placed at the disposal Of
M. de Morny, the French Envoy to Russia, to
enable him to represent his country in fitting
manner on the occasion of the Emperor Alex.
ander's coronation. Napoleon will furnish
him with six Of his own carriages. Several
European journals have, it is said, already
engaged reporters to proceed to St. Petersburg,
and engaged to pay them $40 day for their
services.
Sixty thousand dollars will, il is said, be ex-
pended in decorating the church Of Notre
Dame, Paris, for the occasion Of the baptism
Of the imperial Prince.

The expense Of the pay, clothing, and sub.
sistence of these armies it is impossible to es.
innate, without referring to the annual appro-
priations Of the different States for that pur-
pose. II probably cannot be less than FIVE
hundred millions of dollars. And all this
money comes from the sweat Of the laboring
classes, and is burden to their industry. The
soldier earns nothing; he sows no seed, nor
reaps any harvest but that Of blood.
