FOREIGN NEWS The Africa arrived at New
York Friday afternoon from Liverpool, bring
ing news to the Oath ult. The British are
carrying on their war in China with great Wig
or The dates from Canton are to December
l6. The prospect seems to be that that city
will be destroyed. The Chinese, on their part,
have set fire to the foreign factories and the
whole of that part of the city would appear to
have been consumed already. Three banks are
described as burning, without any possibility
of saving them The British on the other
hand, were about to pour shells and rockets
upon the Chinese quarters. The destruction
of life and property must be immense.
The Persian war is also being urged with
unexpected activity. A British feet has tax
Persian Gulf, and appeared before Bushire on
the main land opposite. That place, the prin-
cipe commercial port of Persia, has no means
of defense and must surrender. At the same
time We learn that British corps of 5000
men, under Brigadier Chamberlayne, said to
be one of the ablest officers in the East India
service, has reached Cabool, with q view to
aid Dost Mohammed to defeat the PerSians
and recover possession of Herat. This war is
regarded with dislike by the English people,
while The London Times announces that moth
ing less is in hand than the conquest and an
nexation of Persia.
The settlement Of the dispute between Prus
sa and Switzerland has been officially announc
ed in the Prussian Legislature. The prisoners
have been released by Switzerland, and Dow
the question of sovereignty over Neufchatel is
to be submitted to Congress of the European
Powers. This announcement the Prussian
| Chamber received with cheers.

THE ELECTION OF PRESTON KING.

No politica! event of the past few years, has
given us such unqualified pleasure as the cleo
tion. of Hon. PRESTON KING by the Legislature
Of New York, to represent that State in the
United States Senate for six years from the
4th Of March next, in place of Hon. Ii HAMIEroN
FISH, which took place on the Sd instant, by
a very large majority.
Mr. KING was the early and steadfast friend
of Freedom. In the struggle to engraft the
Wilmot proviso upon the bill appropriating
money to '' conquer peace" with Mexico, be
was one of the foremost champions of The prin-
ciple of the non-extension Of slavery From
that day to the present. in the darkest hours
of adversely, he has never for single moment
wavered or held back In the van Of the bat
ties for the rights Of White labor, the clarion
voice of Preston KING has been heard, and
bis cheerful, neverdesponding bearing has in
fused new courage into the breasts of those
who doubted If there has been true soldier
in the cause Of Freedom, that man is PGEsroN
KING.
1t is somewhat remarkable to note the diff
ference in position and in their hold upon the
confidence and respect Of the public between
the quandom political associates, Preston
KING and JOHN VAN BCREN. In 1913, they
were both supporting with equal zeal the same
measures and the same men. The latter, per-
haps having much the greatest renown, as a
leader. The course of KING has been straight
forward and consistent The path of duty has
been TO him the path of policy. He has
indulged in no schemes Of political sagacity,
which seemed to the ambitious to lead to pow
er and preferment He has neither been Sc
duced by the power of patronage, nor dazzled
by the glare Of official station. He has his
reward in the respect of both friends and op-
poncnts, and tie great State Of New-York
makes haste to confer upon him the highest
honors at her bestowal. Prince JOHN, in the
abundance of his wisdom, has trimmed with
such egregious inconsistency, that he has be-
come beneath notice, or if noticed, only with
ridicule and contempt. He is despised by his
former free-soil associates, and hated by those
with whom he is now connected. The two af-
ford capital illustrations of the honest, upright,
unambitious public servant, and of the schem-
ing, over-wiSe, INSCRIPTIONS politician Their
histories can be pondered with instruction and
benefit.

SNoBBLE AND THE TooNBs BILL-Do our
readers recOllect that the illustriouS Snohble
(whom nobody has heard Of since he resigned
his claims to the L. S. SenatorShip in favor of
his and old Bucks friend Forney, while con-
qnering the Wimot District last Fall. often
brought against Mr.. Grow the awful charge
of having the ToombS bill in his pocket -
That he had pockcted the bll and thus pre-
vented its passage. was the principal accusa
ton that this friend of Mr. Buchanan brought
against Mr.. Grow and it is thought that
some few-whom party Zeal could lead to be-
lieye an itinerant blackguard in opposition to
the distinct statement of Mr. Grow that the
bill lay, unrcached in the order of business, on
the Speakers table, when the House adjourn
ed-even gave some credit to Snobble'S asser-
ton. For the benefit of such, if any such
| there are, we now proceed to prove by the re-
cord of the proceedings of the House during
| the present session, that Snobble'S statement
was false
In the official organ of Congress. The Con-
gressional GIoje Of December 23. 1856, page
l6l, we find this record of proceedings in the
House of Representatives
The following bills and resolutions from
the Senate were then severaIIy taken from tie
Speakers table, read II first and second time,
| and referred as indicated below"
| And on the succeeding of the Globe, among
the bills so named as taken from the Spea-
ker's table," the Toombs bill is Included, as
| follows
"An Act (No. 356) to authorize the peo-
pie of the Territory of Kansas to form a CON
stitution and State government preparatory
| to their admission into the Union on an equal
footing with the original States Referred to
the Committee ON Territories"
So it appears that the Toombs bill |" first
came into the hands of Mr. Grow as Chair
man of the Committee on Territories, Decem.
Der %, 1856, long after the doughface cham
pion accused him of having pocketed it, How
ever, Snobble was as near the truth in this as
in most of his statements Repnb

SPANISH ColN-We have received various
inquiries, says the Washington Star, whether
the bill which has been before Congress in va
rious shapes for the last year, relative to de-
precated Spanish and Mexican small coin, has
become q law, and if so, when it goes in opera
ton. We have to say, that bill fixing the
rate at which these coins will hereafter be re-
ceiYcd by Government, and requiring them to
be sent when thus received to the mint for re-
coinage, has gene through both houses, but
that in passing the House of Representatives
amendments were made to it requiring the fur
ther action Of the Senate, and the bill is now
before that body. The bill provides that it
shall go into effect from and after the date of
its enactment. The bill is not compulsory in
its provisions, but it seems probable that On
its passage the people Of the country will take
concerted action to drive this miserable cur
rency out of circulation. In this city some Of
our leading merchants have in anticipation of
the FINAL passage of the bill, taken initiative in
refusing the cCinS ut more than the deprecated
rate of five, ten and twenty cents respectively.
In New-1ork city the ferry companies have
taken the same steps, and u similar movement
is being made in Boston, Philadelphia, and
other. The real value of Spanish quarters as
silver, making allowance for wear, &c, is sta
ted to be about ninety-iye or nnety.SiX cents
to the dollar On the twelve and half cent
pieces the depreciation is from ten to twelve
per cent, and the six and u quarter cent pieces
from twenty to thirty per cent.
