THE RICHMOND ENQUIRER.

Yesterdays number of this journal announces the
accession of Messrs Nathaniel Tyler and O. Jennings
Wise (son of Governor Wise) to its proprietorship
and editorial staff The new editors unite in salu-
atory address announcing the principles which will
actuate them in the conduct of their journal. We
observe that they dissent from the course which has
been pursued by the Enquirer in support of the
Lecompton constitution, and dissent also from that
feature Of the Conference Act which, in case the
vote about to be taken on the land ordinance shall
be in the negative, forbids the admission of Kansas
until she shall have attained certain increase of
population Otherwise they acquiesce in that meas
ure, and disavow any intent to make this matter a
subject of serious division in the democratic party
While regrettng these sentiments of the new edi-
tors of the Enquirer, which have no doubt are
honest and conscientious, we cordially welcome
them into the fraternity of the press in which we
are confident they will win an honorable name.

FRANCE And ENGLAND IN CHINA.

The Paris Uiuer has started curious controversy
to the which mpe the British and French govern
ments to 60 to with China According to that jour
nal oil that France desires is the liberty of the Catholic
missionaries in China. '.But" continues the editors
''the principal and immediate object which England
proposes to herself in China is to extend there the
sumption Of opium, which she cultvates in India
This traffic produces her hundred millions of
francs yearly. She burned Canton, and we, alas |!
assisted in burning it, In order to force the gates
of the empire, obstinately closed againt the Anglo
Indian poison. This is ay's motive for the war
seizure Of opium Struggled into the country seizure
regular would have been that of Alsop and Ber
nard's machines by the custom house officers on the
frontiers Of Belgium Such is tho grievance for which
England requires satisfaction So true is it, that the
English plenpotcntiay himself confessed his difficulty in
preparing the demand forwarded to Pekin, at the
time envyng the French plcnipoentiary, who merely
demanned what was just and honorabethe liberty of
the Catholic missionaries. Now, England cannot suffer
to obtain our just and honorable demand because
opium is interested in the question This is rather
singular explanation Of the of the quarrel and it
will scarcely be accepted correct by the other party of
the Anglo French alliance The paragraph, however
possesses interest calculated to show the unnd rea
tons which are gradually growing up between England
and France.

TIM CORAL REKrs OF FLORIDA AT the last meeting OF

gave account Of his recent visit TO the reefs of Florida
and his explanation of coraine growths He estimates
the rate of coral growth to be only few inches in

hitherto supposed and suppong the reef rises from
depth of twelve athos he would calculate its age nm

William b. Rogers said that the physical conditions could
not have differed much in that region hundred thou

THE UTAH NEws.--It will be seen from a tele-
graphic despatch of this morning, that tidings from
down to the fourteenth of March have been
received. II ascerained that the advance SUD-
ply train from Fort Laramie would reach the Big
Sandy river by the 18th of March. Judging as well
as we can from the apparent location of this river
on the map it can hardly be more than one hundred
miles from Camp Scott The escort of the train be-
ing itself very strong, and Gen. Johnston having
sent out from the camp strong cavalry force to
meet it, the train is thought to have been entirely
out of danger, and must have reached the camp
several days before the end of March. If thisprove
to have been the case, his army having received re-
Inducements and full supplies, il is not improbable
that we shall soon hear of an advance movement by
Gen. johnston in the direction of Salt Lake city.
