ship Canada, Capt Lang, arrived at Halifax
yesterday morning. She left Liverpool at III
A. NJ. on the 18th, touching at Queenstown ON

The Congress-
Nothing of Importance has transpired rela-
tive to the congress. The attendance or non
attendance of Count Cavour as the represent
alive Of Sardinia, attracted much attention,
but nothing was officially known on the sub
ject.
It'll stated the late belligerent powers only,
would be represented by their Ministers of
Foreign Affairs, the remaining powers to send
plenipotcntiaries.
The Paris Patrie mentions as a rumor, that
Prince Gortschakoff will decline to attend
congress az the plenipotentiary of Russia, I'M
less England is represented by some important
member of the cabinet.
The Vienna correspondent of the London
Times says it is finally settled that Count
Rechberg is to be present for Austria at the
opening of Congress. Caron Van Meysenberg,
who went to Zurich with Colloredo, also goes
to Paris, and will remain there as second
Plenpotentiary when the Minister President
will return to Vienna.
1t is understood that Congress will not meet
on the fifth of january, but probably about
the middle of that month
The Paris Presse contains an article in
W{ch it is stated that England and Sardinia
Efft have demanded and obtained serious
guarantees before sending a definite answer to
the invitation of France, and it further remarks
that the Congress would be impossible if the
principle Of non-intervention had not been occu-
pied by all the Powers.
Great Britain.
A hastily summoned Cabinet Council was
held in London on the 10TH The ministers
were summoned by telegraph from the coun-
try. The London Advertiser believes that
urgent circumstances relative to Congress was
the cause, and thinks it not improbable that
the arrogance of the Pope in claiming for his
representative precedence over all other pow
ers may have been one of the points for the
Cabinets consideration.
The London Globe, in announcing the early
return of Lord Clyde from India, says he will
be succeeded as commander-in-ch by Sir
Hugh Rose that Sir William Mansfield be-
comes comman Ter at Bombay, and Major Gen
erals Mal;olm and Spencer head the Madras
divisions.
The renewed efforts at Constantinople in be-
half of the Suez Canal attracted the general at
tention of the London journals. All disclaim
opposition to it on political grounds, but con-
tinue to ridicule its feasibility as commercial
undertaking.
-Four sailors, belonging to the American ship
Roswell Sprague, were arrested at Liverpool
for mutiny.
The total amount of gold saved from the
wreck of the Royal Charter now amounts to
9275,000.
The terms granted by the directors of the
Great Eastern for loan of G50,000 for six
months on a mortgage Of the vessel are u per
cent. per aDnum.
The London Post (Palmerston's organ) as
serts that tue moment De Lesseps obtains
firman from the Porte sanctioning the Suez
Canal, he will have succeeded in severing
Turkey from Egypt If the tirman confers on
the company absolute possession in plain Ian
guage, the sovereignty of several miles OF the
banks is ceded, and the right conferred of
erecting fortresses. 1t forms no part of the
policy of England that the independence of
friendly states shall be assaled it forms no
part of the interest of England to assist in
carrying out a scheme, either wholly imprac
ticable, or of which the practicability would be
shown in creating for the especial benefit of
France an Egyptian Dardaneles, or an Egyp-
tian Gibraltar and such result, we may
venture to add, is not yet contemplated by the
craftsmanship of Lord Palmerston.
France.

inflammation of the lungs.
The Times correspondent at Alden states
that the port of Adool, in the Red Sea, had

Fland.
The Paris Monteur publishes a article ex-
planning the Law OF the Press, the wisdom and

character.

rite pains in the left side having set in, neces-

Austria.
