PORTLAND, Me, Jan. %, M.-The NoUd
Scotian has arrived with latest foreign intel
igence.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times, says the chances of the Congress
meeting were of the most shadowy kind.
A French journal, The Opipio1,e, which is
supposed to speak with some authority, says
that if Italy decides for the annexation of the
North and Central part of the Italian PEN
insula, England would gladly accept the
combination while France would accept it
with still greater eagerness, on the condition
that Savoy and Nice be restored TO her.
The Opiaaone does not anticipate that the
cabinet of Turin would object; and after
| arguing that neither Austria, Russia, or
Prussia, has the power, will, or right to in
terfere, it further says that it is assured this
combination is seriously entertained by the
governments of London and Paris.
GREAT BRITAIN.-The funeral of Lord
Macaulay took place at Westminster Abbey
on the 9th.
The London News comments on the sum-
mary of the Presidents Message, and says
there is no reason to complain of the man
ner in which the President deals with the
general relations between England and the
United States.
ITALY.-The Prussian ministerial organ
isstill of the opinion that the restoration of
the Grand Dukes in Italy, would have been
the most desirable solution of the Italian
question; but gives up the project as i'm
possible, and that annexation to Sardinia is
by far the next best thing.
Canton advices of the 26th of November,
says the treaty between the United States
and China is now in force.

A PIeasant TIne ON !. The Autoerat.o

/ A Pleasant Time ON 81 The Autocrnt."
On Friday night, number of our citi-
zens-by invitation of the officers of the
/ Autocrat-went on board that splendid
steamer, with their ladies, and enjoyed an
evenings pleasure by feasting, dancing, and
other amusements. Everything passed off
delightfully."-.
GA thousand hearts beat happily and when
Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes which spake again,
And all went merry as marriage bell"
But while the occasion had all the de-
lightful features of the gathering at Belgi-
ums proud Capital" so graphically versiied
by Byron, it had no such fearful and start
ling termination. No sound of artillery rose
on the air like a funeral knell; no fair
cheek turned pale at the thought of impend-
ing carnage; no manly brow knit and voice
taltered with the excitement of coming
deadly conflict; no cry of "te arms " ar
rested the progress of the festivities and
sent the gallants forth on fiery chargers to
take part in the bloody fray, and the fair
ones home to lament over the horrors of
war. But there acas an interruption-a
peaceful, generous, full-hearted Interruption
to this joyful occasion.
The good feelings which prompted the
proprietors of the 1utocrdt in bidding their
fellow-citizens welcome to the good cheer of
their noble boat, was worthy of reciprocal
ton. A substantial testimonial of the good
wishes ofour city had been presented that day,
in the form of magnificent piano. Now
came an immaterial, yet precious, offering
in the form of Thoughts that breathe and
words that burn" thanking the proprietors,
officers, and employees of the boat, for their
and good will. Through the in
of Messrs. w. Gwyn, A. Fos-
ter, G. Boicourt, III. Sweesser, t. Hopkins,
G. Stockwell B. Griffith, J. J. Whitaker, R.
Hornbrook, p McGrif, VIM. Caldwell, r.
and w. Baker, this duty was per-
formed in q manner worthy the occasion.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %, p M-The Repub-
lican members of Congress held caucus at
the Capitol to-day. There was a full at
tendence, but no result was obtained. Many
came away before the adjournment, leaving
others discussing, iu brief speeches, the sub
ject of the Speakership. In consequence of
this non-agreement, the Republicans will go
into the House on Monday without any par
ticular candidate among themselves, as on
the first day of the session.

The LoSG ISLAND RAILROAD AccrDEyT.-The
disaster on the Long Island Railroad which
occurred on Friday, proved, by some lucky
chance, less fatal than IL might have been under
the circumstances; but 1t was owirs to no fault
of the directors that hundred lives, instead Of
one, were not sacrificed to their cupidity and
carelessness.
II Is not the first time that accidents have &C.
CURED on this road from cattle straying upon
the track; and yet the directors are too parsimo-
nious TO fence In the road, and thus prevent the
possibility Of disasters occurring from this
cause II Is all the more extraordinary that a
greater number Of lives were not lost on Friday,
from the fact that the wooden cross-tie, which
broke under the sudden pressure Of the loco
motive, was said to be perfectly rotten almost
as soft as q fungus-a fact that argues still
grosser carelessness on the part Of the managers
of the road. If the Grand Jury of the county
are disposed 10 do their duty they will have an
excellent opportunity Of administering q whole
some Lesson 10 railroad directors generally, by
indicting every one Of the directors Of the
Long Island Railroad for the homicide Of one
of their employees.

Is nothing but the curve line FIRST used by
George Steers in New York pilot boat, after

The DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONS IN THIS STATE
On the 9TH Of August will be held two demo-
cratic State Conventions at Syracuse-both,
strange to say, not only in favor Of the same
party, but the same candidate for the Presi-
dency. They are both for Breckenridge, but
by a strange perversion, characteristic Of the
campaign, they are marshalled by different
leaders, having different interests. One Is head
ed by John A. Green, Jr., Of Syracuse, and the
other by Augustus schell, of this city. What
they ought to do and what they will do, If they
have any common sense and any real desire for
the success Of the party, is to unite their or
CARNATIONS. 1t is bad enough to have the de-
moeratic party split upon two candidates, but
to have 1t sub.divided again upon one Of these
IL intolerable. Such divisions and sub divisions
can only tend to one result-the triumph of
Lincoln and the republican party, and that we
fear, will be the upshot Of the insane course
pursued by the democratic leaders everywhere.
