FRIDAY MORNING. FEB. 2s, 1862.
Tho Foreign News.

The arrival Of the lIibernia at Portland yes
terdAy, places US in possession Of a telegraphic
summary Of five days later news The intelli-
gencs is for the most part unimportAnt. In the
English House of Lords, a discussion occurred
respecting the arrest Of several British sub
jects by the Federal Government, on a charge
Of completely with the South which brought
out an explanation from Earl RUSSELL that
demonstrated more clearly the purpose Of the
English Government to maintain a strict neu
trali.y. The news respecting the Union victor,
at Mill Spring was favorably commented on b,
the press, and induced more decided feeling
In favor Of the United States.
In Germany, an agitation respecting fede
raj Union, was likely to lead to the most i'm
portant results. All the lesser States are com
bining against the project Of a Zoll-verein, ad.
vanced by Prussia, and II was likely that
Saxony would become the head Of a move
ment for that national unity which has hither
to occupied the thoughts of the ables. writers
and patriots in Germany.

Dwelilss Hou.e. Much Wanted.

In Philadelphia small sized houses, and sepa-
rate domicils for private families, are numerous,
and attainable al moderate rents. II is the case
in al other large cities Of the United States,
save and except New York. But here our
American families OF moderate mean, are driven
70 bundle, two or three of them, into small
sized houte, arranged for ono family only, or are
forced miles away from their places of occupa-
ton, in search Of cottages, at rents within their
grasp.
SMALL sized houses, arranged for separate
families, and situated in the heart OF Now York
and Brooklyn, are much needed, and will pay
better interest upon their cost than most of
the Snowy, costly, brown stone structures, of
late erected. Thousands OF families desire TO
