FOREIGN News.

The steamship Canada, with three days
later news from Europe, reached Halifax
yesterday morning. She brings tidings of
the Vanderbilt steamship Ariel, concern
ing whose fate some anxiety had begun to
be felt. The Ariel when some days out
from Cowes, which port she left on the
31st ult., broke her shaft, and was obliged
to put back her sail. She reached Cork on
the 18th inst. The Bank of England had
reduced its rate of discount to five per cent,
and further reduction was anticipated
The London money market was slightly
easier. Cotton was down, and breadstuffs
dull. Consols are quoted at % to 81. Re-
form meetings had been held in all parts of
England. The Leviathan had been push
ed nearly to the end of the launching ways;
little else was to be done until the spring
tides foated her.
An unsuccessful attempt had been made
upon the Emperor Napoleon's life at the
Opera House. A projectile pierced his
hat, and number of persons near him
(the latest dispatch says sixty) had been
wounded and several killed. The conspi-
rators are, as usual, said to be Italians, and
a number of arrests had been made. The
American bark Adriatic, confscated on ac-
count of her collision with the Lyonnais,
had escaped from Marseilles and put to
sea. A French war steamer had gone in
pursuit. but had not succeeded in seizing
her. A new Spanish Ministry had been
formed. One weeks later news from In
dia had been received, but owing to an in
terruption of the mails between Bombay
and Calcutta, there is nothing of import
ance. The Prussian Diet was opened on
the 18th inst, Baron Manetuffel reading
the speech. A number Of Russian mobiles
had asked and obtained permissinn to
their serfs.

The Earthquake in Naples.15 s.
900 Victims.

The details of the effects of the late
earthquake in Italy are distressing beyond
description. Twenty places have lost por-
tions of their population, in one hundred
were killed, in another seventy and so on,
until 1855 bodies have been dug out, and
it is supposed at least $4,000 lives were
lost. This destruction was caused BY two
shocks. The air is putrid with the eff1uvia
from dead bodies. Walls were toppled
down, heavy furniture thrown around and
lighter articles thrown to a great distance.
People manned and crushed were eight
days under the ruins, and in the district of
Sala the earth is continually agitated. In
Naples from the 10th Dec. to Christmas
day forty nine shocks had been experien-
ced, and the rumblings and jarings of
Mount Vesuvius, which is looked upon at
Naples as their safety valve, were very
heavy, shaking the doors in Naples as if in
the hands Of furious madn1an. The
country is crossed by assures which at first
were very wide, but afterwards closing
There were not enough 10 dig for the dead
and wounded, and famine has now follow
ed the disaster. The groans of the suffer-
ers beneath ruins were heard for several
days and some of the bodies on being Ia
ken out revealed the horrible fact that the
sufferers had devoured portions of their
own arms. The account says, "there were
none to aid them, none to eycavate the
dying, none to bury the dead, none to give
bread TO the famisbiug,n

Washington News.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.

"ASdiNofoS, fco. q.
Herald correspondence says: 1t is re-
ported 10 me on good authority that Mr..
Buchanan contemplates Withdrawing the
troops from Utah. Mr.. Bernhisel, the Nor
mon delegate, has submitted a proposition
to the administration, indicating the will
ingness of the Mormons to vacate Utah,
and colonize on some of the Islands of the
sea outside of the jurisdiction of the United
States, provided the Government will pur-
chase at fair valuation the Sale Lake
City Improvements.
Mr.. B. asks that Commissioners be sent
out to arrange terms and details.
The Administration confidently expects
that Kansas will be admitted as State un-
der the Lecompton Constitution, and that
there will be less opposition from the
Northern and Western Democrats than was
generally supposed. Great calculations are
made on the consolidated vote of the
South. 1t is understood that the Lecomp-
ton Constitution will be referred to the
Territorial Committee in the Senate, and
Immediately reported upon, with the bill
for the admission of Minnesota attached,
and they will be passed together. Similar
arrangements have been made in the House.
An exciting time is anticipated in both
Houses to-day.
The statement in the Herald about the
tariff investigation committee it a mere
fabrication made up from conjectures, and
floating rumors. Nothing in Mr.. Stones
testimony implicated Mr.. Banks in the
least. The Heralds $1,000 is the old af-
fair of the $500 loan magnifed ten fold.
