last Wednesday, Of the Allegheny Male and
Female Seminary. at RainsDuig. We arrived
TOO late for the Examination, but learn that it
came of very creditably At the Exhibition,
the Students mostly had their pieces well COM
mitted, and sang very well; but from the crowd
ed state of the room aud the noise--in fact,
the entire want of order persons could scarce
ly hear word that was said. We presume
those who have tie Institution in hand, will
remedy this at their next exhibition.

Simultaneous With the arrival of the peace
news from Utah comes intelligence of an equal
iy pacific import from Europe. Recent advices
state most conclnsively that Lord Derby, whose
cabinet is now firm in power, is disposed to
make ample reparation for the course pursued
BY the English cruisers, and peremptory orders
have been sent out BY his government to stop
the proceedings immediately It is not impos-
sible that final settlement of the right of
search question will be made at an early day.
if certain anticipated changes are effected. 1t
is further stated that the whole of the British
policy IN relation to Central America and the
Spanish American questions generally will be
revised, and put in reality upon that footing Of
good understanding with US which they only
seemingly occupied under the Palmerstonian
policy.
Ia a word, the tenor Of all the communica
tions from England IS of the most friendly
character.
