HALIFAX. Feb. %.

HALIFAX. heb. -
The steamship Niagara from Liverpool the 9th
inst, has arrived with two DAYS later news.
In England six sets of Parliamentary papers
on the Civil War in America have been laid he
fore Parliament. About i~orty-hve official COM
munications have passed about the InSodrOTd
and NaShriHe.
Among the official correspondence laid before
Parliament was Earl RusSells declaration TO tire
southern Commissioner that England could not
acknowledge the Confederate States until war or
further negotiations had clearly determined their
position.
Mr.. Gregory, in the House of Commons, de-
nounced the blockade Is i mere paper one.
1t appears that in January last Earl Russell
instructed Lord Lyons, if Lincoin's Cabinet asked
for advice, to reply that England declined unless
both parties applied for counsel.
Earl Russell reports an instance Of CONVEX
alton with Yancey and Rost, who urged the re-
cognition of the Southern Confederacy. His
answer was that England wapld observe strict
neutrality. Her Majesty could not acknowledge
the independence Of the Southern States until
peaceful negotiations more clearly determined
the respective position OF the two belligerents.
In December. when war appeared probable BE-
tween England and America, Lord Lyons was
directed to speak with Mr.. Seward about letters
of marque, and say, in case Of Il war with Great
Britain, they were willing to abolish privateering
if the President would make a similar engage
ment.
Indications IN Parliament were tnat the move
ments for the recognition of Secession would be
quiet.
In the House of Lords Earl Cardigan inquired
as to the truth of the arrest and imprisonment oil
a Canadian subject, named Shepard, by order OF
Mr.. Seward. He commented severely on the
conduct of the United States if the facts were cor,
rectly reported, and particularly on the demand
that Shepard should take the oath of allegiance.
Earl Russell was understood TO say that the
main facts were correctly reported, but Mr.. Sc,
ward stated to Lord Lyons that the oath was ten
dered to Shepard under the belief that he was al
American citizen.
Earl Cardigan said he should certainly move fol
the papers; he hoped the Government would not b'
content with remonstrances, but would also demand
compensation.
Advices from Gibraltar say that the parties ii
the coaling business there resolved not to suppl.
the Sampler with coal except for cash, her pape
offered being deemed Unacceptable. Nautica
men say that the ship had not any fight in her.
The London Times says that the American PEG
pie, in the last SIX months, have contrived t
spend more money in a shorter time, to less pur
pose, than any other people on the face of tn
globe, and that is literally all that has been done
1t urges that the subjugation of the South
impossible.
The Gazette has published. by order of tn
Privy Council, an order removing the prohibition
to export ~saltpetre, arms, and ammunition.

There is no such thing as a song bird
natural to Australia; there are birds who
chatter, birds who shrek, but no bird that
sings. Well, there was a young man who
went ont from England as a gold digger. and
was lucky enough to make some money,
and prudent enough 70 keepit. He opened
"store'-a kin of rough shop where ev-
erything from candles to collins are sold---
at a place called '.the Ovens" celebrated
gold field, about 200 miles from Melbourne.
Still. continuing to prosper, he, like dp-
tiful son, wrote home to his father and mo-
ther to come out to him, and if they possibly
could, to bring with them lark. So a lark
was procured. and in due time the old folks
and their feathered charge took ship and
departed from England. The old man, how
ever. took the voyage so much to heart that
he died; but the old woman and the lark
landed in sound health at Melbourne, and
we're speedily forwarded to Mr.. Wilsted's
store at the Ovens
1t was on Tuesday when they arrived,
and the. next morning the lark was hung out
side the tent, and at once commenced pi-
ping up. The effect was electric. Sturdy
iiggers-big men. with hairy faces and great
brown han3s-paused in the midst Of their
work, and listened reverently. Drunken,
brutal diggcrs left unfinished the blasphc-
nous sentence, and looked bewildered and
ashamed. ) Ear and near the, news spread
like lightning Lss Have you heard the lark?''
ssrTs true, mate, that there IS real English
