LATER FROM EUROPE.

The steamship Nova Scotian arrived at Port
land, Saturday, with Liverpool and Queens
tswn dates of January 18th and 18th. Every
thing indicates that the diplomatic Congress
has been postponed indefinitely. Other me-
thods for settling the Italian question are likely
to be used The following is significant:
"a French journal, the Opinione Rationale,
which was supposed to speak with some au-
thority, believes if Italy decided for the an.
nexation of the north and centre of the Italian
peninsula, England would gladly accept the
combination, whilst France would accept it
with still greater eagerness, on condition that
Savoy and Nice should be restored to her.
The Opinione does not anticipate that the Cab
net of Turin would object, and, after arguing
that neither Austria Russia or Prussia have
power, will or right to interfere, says it is as
sured that this combination is seriously enter
tanned by the governments at London and
Paris"
Charges were rife against Austria of dis
guised intervention in Italy. LIE Nord directs
attention to recruiting going on i'll Vienna for
the Pontifcial army, under the eyes of the
Austrian government An Austrian general
directs operations. They choose the best SOL
diers, who we're disbanded on account of re-
ducing their own army, and the most able Of
ficers, Whose services are now available in
consequence of the peace. 1t is just as il they
had formed an auxiliary corps of the elite of
their veteran troops, and transformed them by
mere change of uniforms into the army of
the Pope. LIE Nord adds-the conduct of the
Cabinet of Vienna on this occasion is not
merely dishonorable-te entails dangers to peace
and on Austria herself by breaking her word
1t is said that France supports the protest of
Piedmont against the enlistment of foreigners
Tor o,,l ,rfio IL
the wholesale Introduction of Austrian recruits
into Ancona.
The organ of the Ministerial party in Prus-
ria is still of opinion that the restoration of
the Dukes in Italy would have been a most
desirable end. They give up the object as
impossible, and think the annexation to Sar-
DINA by far the next best thing.
There is look of coming war in Central
Italy, between the papal troops supported by
Austria, and the people supported by Sardin-
ia. The appointment of Marshal Mcmahon
to command the French in Italy is deem
ed warlike. All kinds of rumors were
afoat in Europe. Among the items by this
arrival, we have the following in regard 20
Macaulay's funeral:
"The funeral of Lord Ma caulay took place
at Westminster Abbey, on the 9th. The re-
mains were inferred in the Poets Corner, in
the midst of many of England's most distin-
guished authors. Among the pail bearers
were the Lord Chancellor, Speaker of the
House of Commons, Lord John Russell, the
Earl of Carlisle, and others, and among those
present were many men of eminence both in
politics and literature. The funeral was es-
sentially private, and, although Invested of all
pomp and ceremony, was very impressive"

SENATOR WILSON'S REPLY TO Mr. CLING
Mantle Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune gives the following graphic
narrative of one of the episodes in Gen. Viii.
sons two days speech:
The reply of Wilson to Clngman's invoca-
ton TO n "bloody struggle on the floor of
Congress, in the event of the success of the
Republicans in 1860, was terribly severe.
Cnngman was sitting directly across the main
aisle from Wilson. The North Carolina Sen.
ator, never very robust, looks unusually with
cred and wan and woe-begone this winter.
His Massachusetts antagonist, always hale and
hearty, never appeared more robust and Wig
orous than to-day. And when he Served
his defiant notice" upon the shriveled South
ron, stepping forward pace or two, and re-
minding him who the people of the North
were, and of their "bloody struggles" at Bun
ker Hill, Saratoga, Chippewa, Lundy's Lane,
and on the deck of many ship in the Second
War OF Independence, and looking full in the
face OF the man milliner who had cast down
this glove, told him that when the struggle
he had invoked did come, the Representa-
tives of this people would prove worthy
OF their constituencies, and if reluctant
to enter into the fight, would be equally
reluctant to leave it till it was finished, and
ehouSh IlS IdoI ~ 20 iIIO tne COnIllct, would
be the last to go out of it with dishonor, and
though slow to enter the field of combat would
leave it victorious or baptize it with their
blood-when Wilson was delivering this pas
sage, with cool measured tones and steady
men, and hrm gesture, his finger pointing
straight at the Carolinian, and telling him, in
conclusion, as he slowly stepped back to his
chair, 81 say no more await the issue: |
bide my time?' the chamber was as silent as
the tomb. Southerners, on the floor and in
the galleries, who, till then had been chatting
rather noisily, were riveted with the specta-
Gle. Doubtless, visions of Cromwell and his
lronsides, routing the chivalry at Edgehill; of
Puritan Miles Standsh and his men, leaning
on their firelocks, while Brewster preached to
the Pilgrims on Plymouth Mound of Old Put
at Bunker Hill, and Stark at Bennington; of
Negro Nat Turner, driving Virginia in panic
before him, and Roundhead John Brown, with
seventeen men, filling the whole south with a
frenzy of terror, fitted in shadows before
/ them.

HAS TOO Much OF Ir.-The Cleveland
Plaindealer is democratic paper, and il pro-
fesses its willingness to stomach any amount
of nonsense from its democratic allies in Con.
gress but the reasonable debates which rage
at Washington are more than it can endure
it protests in the most vehement manner
against the continuance of them, saying:
"At the opening OF our yet disorganized
Congress we felt disposed to excuse, in CON
sideration of the Harper's Ferry outrage, any
reasonable amount of political nonsense. But
this for time changed to buster and threat
ening towards the mhole Moth, without scarce
any discrimination, or recognition even of
the northern democracy. We let that pass,
though measurably indignant all the time, it
may as well be confessed. At last, hoUeuer,
hare only treason and dsuqion invoked, praved
for, threatened. The southern Jreezes from he
National Capitol come laden Nth no other sounds.
We have waited weeks impatently for some
evidence of returning sense--some faint show
of patriotic regard by southern democrats for
the Union--and a moderately decent consider
alton for the feelings of love and generation
entertained for it by the democracy of the
North. We have waited in vain"

JAMES REDPATH TO SENATOR MASON

OUR RELATIONS WITH MEXICO.

There is steamship project for establish
ing line of steamers to Mexico, which will be
brought before Congress by those interested in
it. Meanwhile, they are endeavoring to affect
public sentiment, by putting forth statements
in regard to trade with Mexico. They make
it appear that according to the records of the
Mexican Government the value of the foreign
imports into that Republic at the present date
is about $26,000000, and that of the exports,
s2s,O0O,0OO, making total foreign interchange
of imports and exports of $54, 000,090 per an
mum. This commerce is distributed as fol-
lows -
Exchanges with England, s33,40O0OO
Exchanges with the United st 100000
Exchanges with France, 5,5OO,0OO
Exchanges with Germany, 100000
Exchanges with SpaA 100000
Exchanges with Belgium, 100000
Exchanges with Guatemala, Chill, &c. 100000
Exchanges with Cuba, 100000
Exchanges with India aud China 100000
Total sA,OOO,OOO
This statement is followed by expressions of
surprise that England, SO far of, across the
ocean, should have more than half of this bus.
iness, while we, the next door neighbors of
that we ought to find in Mexico a reader and
more extensive market for our manufactures
and have that foremost place in the Mexican
m arket which is now monopolized by Great
Britain. This position is not likely to be con-
troyerted, in this country but there will be
very serious disbelief in the efficacy of any
line of steamships to remedy the evil. Steam
ships do not create commerce, although com
niece, when it exists, is sure to bring into ex-
istence everything necessary to carry it on,
There will be no lack of qrrers when there
is anything to be carried; they will go to
their work without requiring act Of Con-
gress in their favor
his deficiency of trade with Mexico has
not been occasioned by lack of ships 1t is
due to other causes which will continue 10 op-
crate until there is thorough reform in our
national politics. We have not cultivated
friendly relations with Mexico We have not
treated thatcountry as the strong should treat
the weak. We have taken away its territory
treated its people with injustice and scorn,
and waged war against them when we should
have been acting as their firmest friends
Even now there is an effort to stir up out
rage and war against the Mexicans on the Rio
Grande Is it surprising that they dislike and
fear us? Is it wonderful that they are not
anxious to have dealings with us, or that they
give to England SO much Of the trade that
should be ours
1t is useless to go to Congress with steam
ship projects. There must be change in our
whole policy towards Mexico, before our trade
with that country can be much improved !;
and all who believe that trade is more useful
than filibusterism, should do what they can to
secure this change.

THE CONCERT given at Washburn Hall,
last Saturday evening, by VIM B. Brown and
Ermina A. Marsh, was successful in every
respect The hall was filed and, we venture
to say, no one went away otherwise than well
pleased. Mr.. Brown has unusual talents as a
humorous singer and actor. His rendering of
the pathetic ballad of "Peter Gray, or Blow We
Winds of Morning" and Of several other
comic pieces, was irresistible. Miss Marsh
received great applause.
