A New Bella new and clear
sounding bell has been put up this week, in
the cnpola ofthe Presbyterian Church in this
town. 1t differs in tone from any ofthc other
bells in town and its voice will soon become
familiar to the ears Of the congregation it is
intended 10 call together. Se!kirk mourned,
or was made by the poet to mourn, while
plning afar in his lone island, that
- the sound OF the church going bell.
These rocks and these hills never heard -
and the sound Of bells is pleasant to all eats,
when il is not crowded on too thick and fast
as though ears had nothing else to attend to.
Sometimes we have had 50 much bell ringing
as, not only to destroy the significance ofbclls.
but to amount to a nuisance. We do not
mean to hint, however, that this new bell. will
be made plaything Of, or be struck except
on proper occasions.

D-.St. Patrick failed to send us u
storm on Thursday, and allowed us to enjoy a
day Of comparative mildness, which closed
with the threat ola storm, now friday being
fully realised. 1t is one of the worst days of
the winter; a raw and searching North easter
driving the col! rain through everything, and
scattering the pleasant anticipations of
birds and vCrdurc and flowers, awakened by
the few beautiful days preceding. But the
sunshine will soon come again, and the cold
storm be forgotten in the mild and glowing
days sure to follow swiftly in its path; and
thus Hope drives the cold shiver from our
frames by its pleasant pictures Of blessings to
come.

Astounding revelations are almost

Astounding revelations are almost
daily being made showing the corrupt
ness and unftness of the party now in
possession of the government of this
country. From a lengthy article in the
Baltimore Daiiy Exchange of Monday,
we learn that the Senate lately called on
the Department Of State for copy OF .
certain " overture for treaty" made
by the Spanish Minister of + oreign
Affairs to Mr.. II. j. Perry, secretary of
legation at Madrid under Mr.. Soule in
1855, and that it is informed that no
such paper is on file in that Department.
Mr.. Soule, as was well believed, had
mischievious intentions, and 1t was dur
ing his absence from Spain that the
overture" was made to the Secretary
of Legation, then acting Minister, and
the programme Of treaty laid down,
highly advantageous to this country,
the copy of which has been stolen from
the archives Of the State Department.
The Erchange closes its remarks on the
subject as follows -
g No notice appears ever to have been
taken, either by the last or the present Adj
ninistiaton Of this liberal overture on the
part Of the Spanish Government and the
written evidence of the fact that such an
overture had once been made, appears to have
mysleriously disappeared from the records OF
the State Department. The National La.eHi
gencer to which we are indebted for most of
the foregoing facts, forbeaIs to discuss the
causes of this extraordinary state of things -
but those causes, unfortunately, are not diff
cult TO divine. There is party in this country,
and it appears to be the dominant party in
the Goveinment-w who do not desire to be on
good terms with Spain who would rather
have war with that country than pc ace--w who
do not wish to see existing causes of diilicnltr
removed. nor future ones obviatcd-
simply want chance to steal Cuba, and "a
good rally ing cry for the next Presidential
Election, and not such an adjustment Of the
Spanish dispute as would take the words out
of their mouths This is the severe but lust
commentary of contemporary upon the de-
velopments we have been considering. The
end of those developments is not yet, for al
though no copy of the projected treaty is to
be found in the State Dvrait ment, copies of it
are said to be in existence. which, at the
proper time, will doubtless be forthcoming"
