LATER FROM EUROPE.

THE SLAVERY QUESTION AND THE ATROCITIES ON
AMERICAN SHIPS UNDER CONSIDERATION.
The ROYAL Mail steamship Canada, which
lett Liverpool at 10 A. M. 18th ult., arrived at
Halifax, Feb. 10.
GREAT BRITAIN.
In the House of Lords on the 26th, Lord
Broughan gave notice that ne would, on an
early day, move for some returns relative to
slavery, and would bring the whole question be-
fore the House. He would also move for re-
turns OF cotton imported into England from
America. He made his motion on the follow
ing evening.
The Duke of Newcastle, in response, said the
returns should be produced, and the govern
ment would do all in it's power to suppress the
slave trade
The Marquis of Normandy asked the govern
ment whether they had received any informa-
tion Of negotiations said to be progressing be-.
tween France and Sardinia, for the annexation
of Savoy to France.
| Lord John Russell also stated, in reply to a
question from Mr. Monckton Mines, that, in
compliance with the address of the House on
the cruelties practiced on board American ships
he had communicated with the American gov
eminent, and power had been given ly it to Mr..
Dallas to enter into negotiations to put an end
to the atrocities SO disgraceful to humanity. A
convention was being drawn up with this OBJ
ject in view. (Cheers.)
The Commercial Treaty between France and
England attracted much attention, and some of
it's provisions had been published
Later advices had been received from Austria
liza. There was panic at Melbourne, and nu-
meroue failures had occurred

CoNsoLDATING.-.Ne,O Frm.-Rumor has it
that we are to have new firm in the Mercantile
business in town. We learn that Mr.. McCol-
lum, who has been dealing in West India
Goods, retires from business, land that Mr.. M. P.
Courser, dealer in Dry and w.. l. Goods, takes
the goods, and enters into partnership with MIR.
Adams Kellogg, who has been dealing in the
Hat, Cap, and Fur business. The new firm is
to occupy the spacious Store now occupied by
Mr.. Kellogg, and their business is to be Dry and
West India Goods in the main. Messrs. Cour-
ser and Kellogg are both upright business men,
with hosts of friends, and we shall, no doubt,
have the opportunity soon of presenting our
readers an extensive advertisement of the best
and largest assortment of goods in town.

The Japanese.

inc J0P0uCSCs
Some very excellent people have been trying
to convert the japanese since their arrival in
this country. Many admirable schemes have
been formed to extricate them from the error
of their ways. and the government has TO
keep sharp lookout upon the missio naries.
One old lady succeeded in placing Bible
in the hands of one Of the company, and
from some other source volume Of rracts has
reached them. The Japanese, who are very
polite. will no doubt read the books as soon as
they have acquired q sufficient knowledge Of
the English tongue, which will probably be in
the next ten or twenty years. II the au-
thorities at home suspect that prosely ting
nurpose il hidden under the aviation which
has brought them to America, it will damage
American influence considerably. They are
As bieo ted in their superstitions as many men,
are in the truth, and have particular hatred
Of Christianity and its missionaries.
There is time and way of doing all things
and there is such thing as being righteous
over much. Whoever supposes the ia
panese. or any Of the Eastern nations, are
such ignorant barbarians that any fanatic can
bring them to the truth by thrusting good
| book at them, or that any man is ut for mis-
sionary in the East who is fit for nothing .,
home, would better try the experiment. He
will find as acute metaphysicians and logi
cans among the Orien tails as can be discover
| ed in any American University. The omciou'
zeal of fanaticism, always stretching out Its
own hand to uphold the Ark, is closely alice
| to iufidelity. If the heather at our own door
| were first Ohristianized, their example woult
exert a more favorable influence with the ia
panese than any other mode of presenting tn
1 truth.

Spanish Pluck.

According to some of the Spanish papers, a
Cabinet Council at Madrid is about to address
an energetic note to the Government OF the
United States, ON the subject OF the SEIZURE,
by An American ship-of.war, in the waters OF
Mexico. Of the Spanish steamer, the Marquis
de Ia Habana-a seizure effected though the
latter was carrying the Spanish nag; and one
Spanish paper, the Epocd, says:
1--WE hope that the affair NAV be settled BY O.
plomaoy but should diplomacy faIl, we VIII Wrlse
an Amorica with the pointa OF our swords the CON
siu0ing pages Of the magnificent epoch wnicn We

Of Africa. tsH.. te.
There was time when such threat from
Spaia would have meant something. But the
edge Of that wonderful word has become dull
long ago, or Cuba would not now be the only
jewel which Spain has left Of all her snce mag
niflceut possessions in America. Her PEN
manship with the sword on this continent
SCENE TO have been alike awkward and unfor-
innate in both North and South America, and
IL such newspapers as the Epoea govern her
councils, she will soon write away all that is
worth having. Spain could not select a more
inopportane moment tor her own fortunes
| than the present to have breach it'll Ameri'
ca. In such an event, we should get Cubs
without paying for it, and put stop to tn

much trouble and expense, in = very expedi
