Further by the Canada.

HALIFAX, May 21.-The foreign files by the Cana
da contain the following additional interesting items
ENGLAND-The bidding for the new $4,000, 900
loan is to be entiraly in consols.
Parliament has adjourned nyer until the 10Th of
May.
Mr. Dallas, with his family and sec. etary of lega
ton, assisted at the Queens State Ball and levee.
The Crimean Board of Inquiry continues its SEES

May 29th is to be holiday throug hout Great Bril-
tain TO celebrate the peace
The five regiments in the Crimea under orders for
Canada are the 9th, 7th, seth, 62d and 63d infantry
under the command of Gen. Eyre.
FRANCE.-The weather in France for several days
previous to the sailing of The steamer had been very
severe.
BELGIUM.-A treaty of commerce and navigation,
based the principles of reciprocity, has just been
concluded between Austria and Holland
DENMARK.-The Hanse towns have refused to adj
here to the capitalization forced by Denmark in the
question of the Sound Dues
AUsTRIA.-The Synod of Austria Bishops at Vienna
was about ad iourning, without having accomplished
its objects.
fTALY-It is stated that collective note of the
Powers which signed the treaty of peace is about to
be forwarded to the go7ernmentsof Rome and Naples
recommending certain reforms by the Italian people.
1t is also sad that the Popes Legate at Paris has
formally protested against Count Walewski's Ian
guage in the Congress, and that the Paral govern
ment is preparing Qetaled reply tneretO.
1t is still further rumored that Naples will anticl-
pate the remonstrance Of the Powers, by granting an
ann esty extensive scale.
SARDINIA.-Various questions relative to the Con-
ference have been put to Count Cavour in the Sar-
dinian Chambers. He replied that, pending the ne
gotiaons concerning Italy, he could not speak fully
The Sandman view of the Italian question was adop-
ted, while that of Austria was rejected, Hence the
question of Italy must continue to be European
matter. He added that the relations of Austria and
Piedmont had not been amelorated by any thing that
has occurred, and that the Sandman government
may rely on the people to meet every emergency.
A dispatch from Turin says the memorandum pre-
scented by Count CaVour and WlIamarina to the
Chambers shows that Austria having at the Confer.
ence refused to discuss the condition of Italy, Sardi-
MIA is the only State that demands the cooperation
of England and France in carrying out the reforms,
and shows that Austrian occupation is opposed to
the interests of Italy and Europe, and contrary to
the treaty, humanity and justice
Finally, the memorandum calls on England and
France to unite with Sardinia in the application Of
an efficatous remedy.
Naples permits the expectation of breadstufs un.
til June l5lh, at half the previous duty
FROM THE CR1MEA.-The correspondence from the
Crimea to April 26th merely records the preparations
for departure.

WASHINGTON, May 10, 1856.
SPECIAL MESSAGE.
~


tn the Senate of the United States:
| return herewith to the Senate, in which ii orig
nateda bill entitled San act making an appropriation
for deepening the channel the St Clair flats, ID
the State of Michigan and submit 1t for reconsider
alton, because it is in my Judgment, liable TO the OBJ
iections to the prosecution of internal Improvements
by the general government which have already been
presented by me in previous communications to Con-
gress.
In considering this bill under the restriction that
the power of Congress to construct work of inter-
ternal improvement is limited to cases in which the
work is manifestIy needful and proper for the
lion of some one or more of the powers expressly
delegated to the general government, have not
been able to find for the proposed expenditure any
such relation, unless it be to the power to provide
for the common defence and to maintain an army
and navy. But careful examination of the subject,
with aid of information officially received since my
last annual message communicated to congress,
has convinced that the expenditure of the sum
proposed would valuable purpose as contrl-
buting to the common defence, because all which
could be effected by ii would be to afford channel
of twelve feet Depth and of so temporary charac-
ter that unless the work was done Immediately be
fore the necessity for IFS should arise, it could
not be relied on for th: vessels of even the small
draught the passage of which it would permit.
Under existing circumstances, therefore, 1T cannot
be considered as necessary means for the common
defence, and is subject to those objections which ap
ply to other works designed to facilitate and cont
butte to the convenience and local prosperity of those
| more Immediately concerned-an object not to bt
cons,itutionay and justly attained by the taxation
OF the people of the whole country.

&C. We presume Greedy & Co. will raise one dis
NAL universal howl over the thrashing that Brooks
of South Carolina gave Sumner of Massachusetts -
We hardly approve of this style of thing; but what
other resort have such men as Sumner, Hale and
Greedy left open. They traduce men without mea-
sure and refuse the usual satisfaction of gentlemen
Callous themselves, and rather glorying in their
shame they to expect that others should follow
their example, in which expectation they sometimes
find themselves disappointed.
Sill, respect for the body of which Mr. Sumner is
a member, ought 10 have prevented member of an.
other house from deliberately entering the Senate
chamber for the purpose of making that the arena Of
personal contest or the of personal Chastse
ment. The City of Washington is large enough. ir
all conscience for any little exercises of the kind
without kicking upa disturbance in the Capitol anG
the offence of Mr.. Sumner was no. such as 10 demand
of Mr.. Brooks immediate or instantaneous action -
that is, it was not sufficiently personal to Mr. Brook.
as to require vengeance the spot, since in fact
was not done in MIR. Brooks presence at all.
No doubt Sumner has richly merited a f1oggine
any time for years, and deserved all he got not fol-
the expression OF his opinions upon all subjects O
legitimate discussion but for his Indignantly per
sona attacks upon individuals, and his wholesale de-
nuncialions of sections, without rhyme, reason or de-
cency but then it sounds badly to hear about Sen
ator being beaten senseess in his seat in the Senate
Chamber Sumner must have been astonished, for be
had the floor and could not speak. Not on Summers
account, but on account of the dignity and reputation
OF the National Legislature, do we regret this and
similar affairs

important From Havana.

New YoRK May 22.-The steamship Quaker City,
from Havana with dates to the 18th, arrived to-day
Rumors prevailed in Havana that the Spanish Gov
eminent are about to fit out Immediately in that port
an expedition to proceed TO Costa RIGA, and operate
against Walker in Nicaragua and that dstin gush-
ed Spanish officer has already been despatched 10 the
scene of future action. 1t is further rumored that
Year Cruz is to be bockaded by the Spanish forces,
in order to enforce the payment of certain claims due
to the Spanish Government by Mexico. This move
ment, it is said, is to be made Immediately. The
unusual activity prevailing among the Spanish men
of war at Havana, in getting ready for sea, would
seem TO give some credence TO the rumor.
Sugar was active and prices were firm. The re.
cepts of the week amount to 10000 boxes and ship
ment thirty six thousand. The stock in port was
two hundred and eighty thousand. Exchange on New
York Fl to Cts. discount. On London Al TO cts

gz- The Baltimore Clipper, KnoW'Nothlng pa
per, considerably more Northern than Southern in
its tone is actually accusing South Carolina OF SELL
ing out to Northern Free Soism, and, in doing So
following several other Southern States which have
gone for Mr. Pierce. WE'LL this is a queer world,
when hybrid sort of paper, in sort of border city,
undertakes 10 call the Democracy of South Carolina
to account on the score of deficiency in their devo-
ton to the cause of Southern rights.
Again-President Pierce is the man. OF all others,
desired by South Carolina, and this upon union and
not disunion grounds. The South Carolina delega-
lion in Congress sustain him, do the majority oil
the delegation from North Carolina, and other South
ern States, and all the talk about his unsoundness
upon the slavery question comes from those who own
not and never did own disappointed office
seekers at the North who are infamed with such ar
intense zeal for Southern rights that not even South
Carolina is Southern enough in her notions for them
This stuff is all bosh, every bit of it, and those who
employ it must be aware of the fact.

1t will be remembered that letter recently ap.
peared in the papers purporting to be from Jenny
Lind, and expressing excessive sympathy for the
downfall of Barnum. The man of many humbugs,
however with orttude it is not easy to understand
denies lis authenticity, whereupon the New York
Post perpetrates the following:
How all rejoiced to read kind Jenny's note,
A woman's sympathetic sob in every line
Alas, that Barnum should be forced to quote''
That note as forged-the sobs not JENNY-wHNE.
