Geo. v. Foreman.

The counsel Of Foreman, on Saturday
last, moved for change Of venue--claim-
ing that he could not have On impartial
trial in this county on account of the state
OF popular feeling against him. The mo-
ton was overruled by the court.
We suppose the reason why an in
dictnaent for an assault with intent to kill
was found against Foreman, to be that
having been tried and found not guilty OF
murder in the FIRST degree, he could not
be again tried for the same offense. 1t is
now claimed that the girl was first knock
ed down with stone and that some hal
hour afterwards she was killed--makine
q distinct and different offence. s

LATE E r.
Arrival Of the Arabia.

3 HALIFAX, March 10.
The Royal mail steamship arabia, with
dates from Liverpool to the goth ult, one
week later than those furnished by the
Canada, arrived here this morning.
The English Government, has agreed to
guarantee eight per cent. interes: on o
capital of 100000 for the Atlantic Tel
egraph Company, which will secure the.
construction of o new and superior cable
the present season. ii
Gs The cotton market at Liverpool was
very dull for the week ending on the 25th
ult Prices had slightly receded, but at
the hour of the Arabia's departure the de-
cline had been fully recovered. and
there wss an increased activity in the
market. si .
Breadstuffs were dull but steady.
Provisions unchanged. ee
The papers by the Arabia furnish the
following as the most important items Of
news:
Lord Cowley had gone on special
mission of Cancellation to Vienna. The
ministers announced in Parliament on Fri
day, that there was reason to hope that
the Austrian and French troops would
evacuate Rome, the facts leading to strong
hopes for the maintenance of peace; not
withstanding, the continuance of war ru-
| mors caused an. advance on the Paris
Bonrse, but this was subsequently nearly
all lost. r. -, ~ ;5s
The Atlantic Telegraph Company had
held general meeting, at which it was
announced that the British Government
lad offered a guarantee of eight per cent.
on f6OO. 900, upon certain conditions.
which did not transpire.
The Government has offered subsidy
of f3. 900 per voyage to the Galway steam
ship line. -.
Lord Lyons, the Minister to the United
States, sailed for New York on the 22d
ult. v{...ga
| In the House Of Commons, attention
was called to the seizure, by the Portugest
of british ship on the, coast of Mozaln
4 bique, and explanations in relation to i
were asked of the ministers. In reply i
, was stated that explanation had been de
manded from Portugal. Sir Charles Ma
: pier mentioned the fac. that q few night
t previous French wa.-ship had anchored
: off Spithead, departing before the morning
!, and asked whether the Admiralty wer
8 cognizant of the fact, and whether it wa
s done for the purpose of taking soundings
!. Sir s. Parkington replied that this fac
was known, but the Admiralty we're no
: aware of the object, though there wa
9 nothing unusual in the fact.

select literature culled from the columns
of the Belmont Chronicle: a7a
"The Spirit Of Democracy asks us if
the fact of there being so many Americans
in this county, don't account for our op-
position to Catholic Priests officiating in
Congress. This is sample of Demo-
cratic logic. How natural to Judge 9TH

argument The editor of The Spirit is
. great man, therefore the moon is made
Of green cheese. There, that is proved
to his mind, at least. Wonder if the
fact Of the great Catholic vote in the ma
tion has anything to do with The Spirits

Give reason for the faith that is within

A man who believes that this country
is in danger because Catholic Priest has

have concluded that for the next year we
win publish mono of them. This will
enable rs to give . much larger amount
