FOREIGN NEWS.
Arrival of the Africa.

The steamship Africa arrived at N. York
on March 24th, having left Liverpool on the
9TH of that month. We publish most of the
news-the chief feature Of which is an
nouncement of Lord Palmerston's policy
with respect to China. He maintains Lis
position in spite of being voted down in the
House of Commons, and hopes to be second
ed in his policy both by France and the Uni
ted States. A considerable reduction in the
income tax has been voted in the House OIL
Commons. This cannot fail to be popular
measure, and will do something towards rec
oncling TIE people to the Chinese policy Of
the Government
Palmerston has been invited to become a
member for the city of London.
The signing of treaty Of peace with Per-
STA is officially announced, and a copy has
been dispatched to Teheran for ratification.
Its chief feature consists in granting tire
right of residence to British Consuls in the
cities of Per,ia.
A dispatch received by means Of the Rus
sian telegraph says that treaty of COM
merce has been ratified at Teheran by the
Shah. between Persia and the United States,
granting the same terms-American Consuls
NAV reside in the chief Persian cities.
4 letter from st. Petersburg announces
that it was known in that city by special
courier that the Governor of Russian Siberia
had dispatched column of troops towards
Kakhta, on the frontier of China. It is ad-
ded that this measure had been adopted in
agreement with the Court of Pekin.
1t is said that in consequence of the late
news from China the French feet in these
seas, under the command of Admirals Guerin
and De Geneulli will be reinforced by three
ships of the line.

(FrOm the Republican,

REPUBLICAN Cry CONVENTIONAL meet
ing of the Republicans of st. Anthony was
held at Edwards Hall ON Tuesday evening
last, at which ID. S. Balch presided, and G..
1. Dexter was secretary. 1t appearing from
an informal ballot that W. W. Wales receiv-
ed Il votes as candidate for Mayor to {
scattering, on motion Of DR.. II. W. Gould.
he was declared tie unanimous nominee Of
the Convention.
G. \. Nourse, ESD, made a few remarks
highly complimentary to the candidate of the
meeting; and offered the following resolution,
which was unanimously adopted:
Resolced, That We cordially approve Of the
course pursued in the last Legislature by orr
Councilman, W. W. Wales, and our Repre-
sentauves, Henry Hctchman and Jonathan
Chase.
The meeting was not largely attended,
there being no competition of candidates. and
consequently no general excitement But
all sections ofthe city were represented and
the perfect unanimity with which Mr. Wales
was nominated is pleasing indication of the
satisfaction with which this Republican tick
ct will be hailed by the great body of good
citizens.
We hear but little said about an opposi-
ton ticket but Mr.. Wales is too good a
man, and would make too capable and faith
full an officer for the Fridley clique to allow
his election to be uncontested. 1t may there
fore be taken for granted, that all sorts
means will be employed to defeat him: so
let the Republicans be on guard against So
C He'd Peoples Tickets" as we'll as Demo-
cratic tickets.

church in the afternoon. He has not been
heard of since, and all search proves unavail

steady progress in the subscription to the

Exchange Bank were opened at the banking
house of Bogy, Miltenberger & Co. At the

THE interest attached to the locality OF
of the ate accident at Des Jardines canal,
CanaGa, has been renewed by the raising OF
the submerged engine, the forward wheel Of
which on the right side was found to be
broken off. From the position of the en-
CINE, as it lay on its side on the bottom OF
the canal. it seems, quite impossible that the
wheel was broken by the fall. Everything
goes to show that the axle was broken either
on the bridge or very near it, and that the
breaking of the bridge was from the concus-
sion which ensued.

WASHINGTON, March 10.
A letter was received here to-day from
W. W. Drummond, United States Supreme
Judge in the Utah Territory, by the admin
istration. 1t gives sad and deplorable pic
ture of matters in that Territory. The fol-
lowing is taken from the letter:
"The leading men of the church are more
traitorous than eyer. Only few days since
all the papers, records, dockets, and nina
hundred VOLUMES of the laws, were taken
out of the Supreme Court Clerks office and
burned. And this is not the only instance
Of the kind, and 1 say to you again, and
through you to the President, it is imposai-
BILE for us to enforce the laws in this Terri
tory. Every man here holds his life at the
will of Brigham Young and here we are
without protection. lam firmly of the opin-
ion that Bibbitt was murdered by Mormons
under the direction of Brigham Young. and
not by indians. Murder is common THING
here and Mormons cannot be punished bv
Mormon jury, witnesses, officers, and Gov.
ernor to pardon: 1t is too cruel, and must
not be endured. A man, not member of the
church, is murdered, robbed, castrated and
imprisoned, solely for questioning the au-
thority OF the church. Persons are now in
the penitentiary, convicted before the Pro-
bate Judge, who are wholly innocent of any
crime: Is there any other country where
this abuse is or would be endured? Let all
then, take hold and crush out one of the
most reasonable organizations in Ameer.

The administration have had the matter
under serious consideration, and will soon
appoint Governor, / understand, who will
take sufficient military force into that Ter
ritory to carry out the laws to the fullest ex-
tent.
