NEW YORK. Feb. II, P. M.-The British
screw ship Kangaroo, Capt. Brooks, arrived at
an early hour this morning from Liverpool
Ola Queenstown; she left Liverpool on the lst
and Queenstown on the End. Her sdvices
are no later than previously received, yet
they contain some points of interest.
The Dublin Freeman of the End, publishes
letter from the Roman Catholic archbishop
of Dublin, calling tor tribute for the Pope.
The letter fills 24 columns
The London daily News of End inst, thus
notices the aspect of the money market
The previous day the bullion drawn is
abating. The amount of gold withdrawn
from the bank to-day, was thirty Thousand
pounds, making total for the week of 622,-
900 pounds. This days smallness of
withdrawal was partially produced by the
receipt of GO, 600 pounds Australian gold by
the Success, which was this day sold for ex-
portation. But in the discount Office the bank
to-day, the demand was extremely heavy
and the disorganization of the discount
market was more complete than at any
period since the panic of 1857.
In all quarters money was tight, and
many of the ordinary channels of accom-
mediation were completely closed. Some
of the principal establishments to-day de-
clined to take bills even from their reg
ular customers. Large parcels of bills
have been sent back to the Provinces of
Scotland. In instances where transactions
took place, 4944 per cent. was the rate for
paper having moderately short period to
run.

what Rights We ASK.

It is expected by the Opposition in the
southern part of the State, that though
likely to be in the minority in the State
Convention, their feelings and position will
be regarded, and such platform adopted
as win give them an opportunity to do eff
fectiye service against the present disgrace
full Administration.
A great part of the Opposition vote here
is made up of Wings and Americans
These branches of the Opposition claim a
representation on the ticket to be formed on
the 22d, not as a recognition of their pecu-
liar views, but as an evidence of good faith
and fairness on the part of those composing
the majority of the proposed new organiza-
ton. We do not favor the keeping up of
old distinctions, but do say that all branches
giving out the favors.
The Chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee says that he will oppose
the nomination of any man on the score of
old party associations This is well enough
in theory, but in an important contest like
the one we are entering upon, it will not
work we'll in practice. The gentleman
spoken of used to be a Democrat. Suppose
candidates chosen unfortunately, with
out any regard for old party associations
by lot if you please. And suppose that the
candidates should all prove to be Wings or
would rebel against the arrangement. So
will Wings and Americans rebel, if they
happen to be "left out in the cold"
The Wbigs and Americans ought to have
about three candidates on the ticket. This
county has put forward James G. Jones for
the Attorney -Generalship. His nomination
would satisfy the large body of Wings and
Americans in the Pocket. In the Second
District, Mr.. Jonathan Payne seems to be
the choice of the Wings and Americans,
and they will urge his nomination for Re-
porter of the Supreme Court. Mr.. William
II. Gregory, of Ohio county, is the unani-
nous choice of the Americans, Wings, and
conservative Republicans, of the south
eastern portion of Indiana, for Secretary
of State. We have long and intimately
known Mr.. Gregory, and can say that be is
a frst-rate man in every respect, and has
fought long and faithfully, as editor of the
Rising Sun Visitor, against Lecompton De-
mocracy. His nomination will be eminent
ly gratifying in this part of the State.
We now earnestly insist on conservative
platform, and place on the State ticket for
conservative men. We enforce this demand
by the assurance that failure to comply
with it can only result in disastrous conse-
qusnces.

CoNsECRATIoN.-Rev. Joseph C. Talbot
was consecrated on the 18th inst, at In
dianapolis, az Missionary Bishop of the
Northwest, of the Protestant Episcopal
Church. The new Diocese, to which Bishop
Talbot is elected, comprises all those por-
tions of our country North of a line run
ming along the Northern boundary of the
Cherokee country and New Mexico, until it
reaches the Diocese of California, not yet
organized into Dioceses or included within
Missionary Districts. This territory in
cludes the Territory of Nebraska, Dacotah
Utah, and the proposed Territory of JEFF
ferson.

The spencer County Convention.

We publish to-day the proceedings of the
Opposition Convention of Spencer county.
1t will be seen that the resolutions adopted
breathe the same devotion TO the Union that
is expressed in those passed here. We rec
ognize amongst the participants some of the
best men of the county.
The expression in favor of Edward Bates
shows the prevalent feeling in this part of
the State.
The instructions in favor of their fellow
citizen, JAMES c. VEATcH, Esq, for Governor,
shows the strong hold he has upon the af-
fections of his people. We give the follow
ing, from one of his neighbors, as a fair
expression of the regard felt for him:
"Cannot the Pocket send up a united
delegation for Mr.. Veatch2 He is a man of
unimpeachable integrity, and a hard hand
10 cope with in his discussions. No one
would more gallantly uphold the banner OF
the Opposition forces than James C. Veatch.
Coming, as he does, from the ranks of the
people, he has raised himself, by his own
exertions, to his present position, as an en-
iment lawyer and eloquent speaker The
| farmers of this State, whose interests are
SO much neglected, could find no truer OF
more steadfast friend. or one who would pay
closer attention to their welfare, than him
! But he is already well known in the Pocket
and we can say to the rest of the State, Dc
| you wish to decrease the Democratic major
| ity in this District? Give us James G
Veatch for Governor, and it is done"

EXPECTED RE-APPEARANoR OF THE COMET
OF l556.-Professor Lowering, in one of his
late astronomical lectures before the Lowell
Institute, said that the great comet of 1856,
which caused the abdication of Charles the
Fifth of Spain, is confidently expected to
reappear during the present year, and the
French astronomers are even now on the
lookout for it. If no error has been made
in the revised calculation, it will probably
be seen from this planet during the fall of
1860.

AUsTRALIA.-Considera anxiety is felt
in the commercial circles of England in
reference to Australian affairs. The dimin-
ished quantity of gold produced year by year,
the glut in the markets of Australia by the
too free importations of goods, and the symp-
toms of panic in the money market, make
Australian affairs look unpromising for con-
siderable time to come.

ANDREW II. REEDER, of Pennsylvania,
formerly Governor of Kansas. has replied to
a letter requesting authority to use his name
as q candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania.
Without refusing positively to accept the
nomination, he expresses strong desire to
decline the honor, for private reasons. He
does not wish to be considered a mere in
different spectator of the approaching contest,
