FOREIGN NEws.-There has been an ex-
citing discussion In the French Chamber on
Italian affairs. Prince Napoleon demanded
that French troops evacuate Rome, and
asked for the suppression of the temporal
power of the Pope. Laguerronire. known
confident Of the Emperor, spoke in favor of
tho Temporal power, aud the Ministry de-
clared it would explain the policy the Gov
ernment on future occasion. The journey
Of the Archduke Maximilian to Paris
and London is postponed. His negotiations
as a candidate for the throne of Mexico have
encountered difficulties. London letters, of
March lst, say there is quite an impression
in Eengland that the struggle in America
will terminate this spring, and American
securities are consequently buoyant. The
news of the capture of Fort Donelson must
have reached England in the latter part Of
February; and that victory has probably
convinced the rebel sympathisers in Eng
land that their cause is hopeless.

NAVAL OPERATIONS on TIE SOUTHERN
CoAsr.-Some days since an Eastern d's'
latch stated that Commodore DuponFs
fleet had sailed from Port Royal, its des'l-
nation being unknown. A Baltimore as
patch, of the 10th inst, gives the following
account of the operations Of the fleet:
Gnnboat Alabama, from Fernandina, arrlv-
ed with bearer of dispatches from Commodore
Dupont. The feet left Port Royal ISL Oh
March, for Brunswick, Ga. The enemy fed az
the approach of our gunboats. Our forces took
possession, and left one gunboat in charge
The feet next went thirty miles south to Gum
berland Sound, which is the entrance to Fer
nandina, and took possession of Fort clnch'
Twelve large guns fell into our hands, inelud- @
inc l2O-pound rihed canon. We also cap
nlred rebel steamer Darlington, loaded with
wagons and ammunition. The Federal forces
under General Wright landed and garrisoned
the forts and earthworks, taking possession OF
tho city. The latter has been one OF the mos'
useful ports of the rebels.

The LATE NAVAL BATTLE-The particu-
lars of the late naval battle in Hampton
Roads will be found on the FIRST page of this
paper. The result of that fight shows the
advantages Of iron-clad vessels. The Mer-
rimac, which had been plated with railroad
iron had everything its own way at first.
having sunk the Cumberland aud captured
the Congress, and but for the timely arrival
of Ericsson's iron-clad battery, the Moni-
tor, would have done great deal more
mischief. This is the first fight in which
iron-clad vessels have taken part, and
demonstrates their superiority over ordinary
wooden vessels. Later accounts state that
the Merrimac suffered considerable injury
from the guns of the Cumberland, before
the latter sunk, and her commander, Com.
Buchanan, was mortally wounded, and af-
terwards died. The Cumberland was q
slOOp-Of-war, of l,726 tons, carrying twenty
four guns, and was built at Charlestown in
1872 The Congress was fifty gun frig-
ATE, of 1867 tons, and built at Kittery,
Me-, in ls4l.

REPORT ON COMMON SCHooIs.- We are
indebted to Assemblymen Avery and Sears
for copies of the eleventh annual report of
the Superintendent of Public instruction.
As yet we have had time only to glance at
the tables. which show the progress of the
schools during the year ending on the first
Of last November. The total number of
children in the Stale, as shown by the school
census of last year, is as follows:
Youths between Is and .3,9O8
Boys between and .35.667
Girls between and l8..... .3l,1Zo
Children under 4.................... 1884
Total under 81 l..............'.''.' lOI,o3I
This shows an increase of the Juvenile
population over the number as reported by
the census of last year of 1923. The VII ole
number that attended schools, public and
private, during the year, was 3S,O92-being
but little more than half of the total num-
ber of school children. The total amount
expended for school purposes during the
year is put down at $47O, ll3; being an in-
crease Of $1l, ,525 over the amount expended
the previous year.
