SAFE TRASsPoRr or BauisH TROOPS To
CAN.DA--By telegraphic intelligence received
from Halifax, and published in yesterday
HERALD. we learn that in that city a
painful rumor was current of the loss
of the British steamship Parana. with 100
troops on board, In the st. Lawrence river
en- route to Quebec. There il nothing improba-
BILE in this rumor. considering the dangerous
nature of the navigation Of the st. Lawrence at
this season Of the year. II The anxiety of the
British government to send troops to Canada in
the winter be so great, and the cxigency Of
the case demands such haste as to risk the lives
of the brave soldiers, most Of them Irishmen,
strongly sympathizing with the United States
and its institutions and having many Of their
kindred among us. we do not see why these
troops might not be sent by the way Of Port
land. Maine, or New York city. We have no
doubt, If a respectful request were made by the
British government to Mr.. Seward for permis-
sion to cross our territory, ii would be granted.
Indeed We would suggest that Mr.. Seward
might, with advantage, make graceful offer Of
permission, and thus fulfil the Scripture by re-
turning good for evil. and thus "heeping Goals
of fire upon an enemy's head

Magenta and Solferino were fought by France
alone Savoy was reannexed to the empire, and
Austria was at its feet, when with sagacious
moderation Louis Napoleon once more startled
Europe by an unexampled display of modera-
ton, and negotiated a peace which completed
his third triumph, and made him the acknow-
ledged arbiter of the destinies of the greater
part of the Continent.
The fourth victory of the Idees Napoleonie'a-
nes has been the final annexation, this year, of
the valley of Dappes, extending the frontier of
France, in Switzerland, to its natural boundary.
And this brings the history of the empire up to
the present crisis in the rebellion which con-
vulses the United States, and the position it
has thrown us into with regard to England
The glee with which the statesmen of Great
Britain seized upon our embarrassments to
break up the power of the formidable CONNER
cial rival which Napoleon !. and Alexander l.
of Russia were so anxious to have become a
counterpoise of her maritime strength, was
shameless and unprincipled in its maniiesta-
tions. France, however, carefully announced
its intention of remaining neutral. While it is
understood in diplomatic circles that the gov
ernment of the Emperor has continually urged
England to recognise the Southern confederacy,
and has fomented the evil passions by which
she has been agitated, it has been equally clear
that its motives have been to secure monopoly
of the carrying trade, and to de-
velope the ulterior views of Napoleon
ILL., on the Continent. Continental statesmen
have been keenly aware of the impending dan
ger, and have predicted loudly and complain
ingly that conflict between England and the
North American States would be the signal for
an extension Of the French boundary to the
Rhine. The quotations given above. from the
organ of the tory faction in London, show that
the same alarm was springing up in the minds
of farsighted Englishmen, and that sober
second thought had presented under new as
pect, the momentous question of war or peace.
Such. in fact, was the appearance OF The surface
of feeling in Europe when the late steamers
sailed from Europe, and we have little doubt
that the reception of the intelligence Of the sur
render of the rebel ambassadors, in a manner so
consistent with American honor and the princi-
for over half century will create general
sensation of relief throughout Europe, and that
the statesmanlike forbearancc of Mr.. Seward
will be held in grateful remembrance as having
averied from the Continent the horrors of a
general war.

OCEAN STEAMERS AND THE Wharf.-The annual
record of passages OF European and American
steamers, between this country and France
England, and Germany, which appeared in our
yesterdays paper, affords sadly instructive
lesson respecting the shortsigb.cdness of Con-
gross, within the last few years, as compared
with Tie superior wisdom of foreign govern
rnents. While both Great Britain and France
have appreciated the Importance Of having
clouds of swift, powerful mercantile vessels,
under their flags, occupying every ocean high
way, and capable of being converted into in
vncible auxiiaries in case of war, the United
States has adopted most foolish penny wise
and pound foolish policy on the subject and has
literally strangled out Of existence the limited
steam marine force it possessed few years ago.
1t appears by the tables We have given, that Of
ten lines of steamers plying between our North
ern ports and Europe, the Arago and Fulton
are actually the only two vessels that have
American owners; and of the seventy thousand
passengers transported across the Atlantic. in
1861, only three thousand four hundred were
conveyed in American ships. Yet, no country
States. and the Collins line of steamers. if it
had been properly sustained by our govern
ment, would have defed competition with any
other in the world.
1t is melancholy to reflect that the very best
vessels on Ae globe have passed out Of our
hands, and that, in our hour Of need, some of
them are being employed in service hostile to
the country which witnessed their construction.
Among the recent items OF intelligence from
Europe, we perceive that the Adriatic was one
of the first steamers chartered to carry British
troops to Canada, and that this noble ship, with
the Stars and Stripes emblazoned on various
portions of her hull. may now, in case of war,
be destined to inflict deadly wounds upon those
who presided over her being built. 1t is to be
hoped that our Legislators will profit by the ex-
perience of the past, and naugurate, with ac-
tivity and energy, such measures as shall re-
store to the country the vantage ground II has
lost.

The CARNIVAL on IcE.-The great winter
sport of skating is becoming more and more
fashionable with us every year. and at present
the various ponds in and adjacent to the city
are crowded with the brave and fair many of
whom il is easy to see belong to what we con-
ventionally term the Upper Ten Thousand. Till
within the last Two years it was rare thing to
see lady on skates; but now the ladies in some
cases outnumber the gentlemen on the ice.
The practice of the gliding art as well as being
healthy aud graceful rs an exercise. has the adj
vantage of stimulating q certain branch OF in-
dustry and invention. The same ingenuity
which has been so often displayed since the
commencement Of the war, with regard TO i'm
plemcnts of war and cher military and naval
requisites, has developed itself in improvements
in skates, which affords another example Of the
fertility Of the mechanical genius of the coun-
try. No sooner is there demand felt for any
thing reasonably within the scope of human
ability than numbers come forward to supply
it.; for talent always follows the market, and our
people have evidently no lack of the inventive
faculty. The skating season promises to be an
unusually fine one, and we have no doubt that
all who have the taste and leisure for cultvating
the athletic amusement will find il source of
health as well as enjoyment.

Congress Of Quito had terminated very fayorably
for the government of Ecuador. Wheat in Peru
was selling at the latest advices at $40 per fanega
and -four at SIS per cwt. High prices were the
rule without any exception.
| meeting of British residents of New York in
favor of condoling with Queen Victoria in her re-
cent loss of consort was held at the Office of the
British Consul yesterday, when resolutions OF
coincidence were passed and an address adopted
which will be forwarded to the Queen after the
18th inst.
We have later news from Caracas, Venezuela.
The condition of the country is represented as
being most deplorable. General Paez was still in
power; but the tyrant Monagas had taken posses
sion of two or three towns where he was threaten
ing the government The new United States Minis
ter, Mr.. Henry Blow, had arrived and his prede-
cessor. James Turpin had left for America in a
sailing vessel. General Paez was doing everything
in his power to tranqulize and pacify the republic.
The ball was up yesterday, and good skating was
enjoyed by about fifty thousand persons in the
Central Park. large number of ladies were pre-
SENT and seemed very cheerful and happy in their
pleasure.
The closing meeting Of the Board of Councilmen
was held last evening. A number of unimportant
complimentary resolutions to the clerks, the Presi-
dent and the reporters were adopted
In the Court of General Sessions yesterday Re-
corder Hoffman sentenced Charles NJ. Jeferds and
DR.. Lowenberg, who have been convicted of MUIR
der in the first degree, to suffer the punishment of
death on the goth of February, 1868.
We are indebted to Mr.. Geo. b. Caruthers for late

VANDALISM IN THE SorTH.-Tbc partial de-
struction of the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road, and especially the blowing up of the tun-
mel near the Junction, should take no one by
surprise. Savage warfare alone can produce
parallels with the atrocities, even at home, of
hc rebel leaders. The amount of property in
bridges, dams, railroads and other artificial i'm
provemcnts destroyed by the secessioniss, in
the border States alone, since the beginning of
the war cannot be much less than from ten to
fifteen millions Of dollars Yet the Southern
papers are bowling continually over the pros
pective ravagcs of the Union army, when they
shall have once advanced into the heart of the
States in insurrection. II would be impossible
for our troops, even If they were 80 minded to
do more mischief han has been perpctrated by
the rebels themselves.

lII-TIMED IIosPITALITY.-Wc are informed
that some Of the leading members Of the New
York Club gave Bull run Russell, of the London
Times, dinner at the club rooms, corner of
Thirteenth street and Fifth avenue, on New
Years eve. The event, we are further told, created
some bad feelings in the Club. 1t is no wonder
it should; for hospitality was never before SO
ill-timed and SO misapplicd as when it was ten
dcred to foreigner who, ever since he set his
foot IN the country, has diligently employed
himself in vilifying our army and navy, and
government and people, and Institutions. We
arc commanded by Holy Writ not TO " cast our
pearls before swine, lest they turn round and
rend u.s." The chances are that Russell will
cut up in some of his letters the very men who
have been weak enough to pay him this absurd
compliment, just as he has manglcd the charac
ter and reputation of other men in whose hos
pitality he has participated. Some English
Mferateurs have before now paid off American
flunkes for similar folly. It is the meanest
kind of toadying, and in the case Of Russell it
will probably meet with q suitable recompcnse
in the rdicule to which he will hold them up
for the qualification of John Bull.

THE STRIKE IN THE BROOKLYN NAVY YARD
There are over three thousand laborers at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, who have recently shown
signs of discomfort not on account Of any di
minution Of their wages, which remain the
same but because the requirements of the
country have exacted the necessity of an in
creased number Of hours Of work. The opera
tives were deluded into tho belief that the extra
time of service required Of them was but a
preliminary step to cutting down their pay.
Hence their inquictuds 1t is now, however,
removed entirely and everything goes on as II
should DO, With an energy Ahd decision which
will sooner or later be felt by the enemies Of
their country in the rebel States

THE GOVERNOR OF MICHIGAN ON TUE WAR;
Governor Blair, Of Michigan, in bis late message
to his State Legislature, attributes sour COM
plications abroad and our troubles at home to
the inactivity of the army and says that 1.-The
people will not tamely submit to sec our armies
used to protect slavc property of the rebels,
when the most active means should be taken to
suppress the rebellion, sparing nothing and
apologzing to nobody for our actions This
inpatient Governor, like one or two others of
the same stamp, permits his zeal to outrun lis
discretion. What does he know of tho "inac-
tivity Of our army?'' and what does he mean
when he talks Of "sparing nothing and apollo
gzing to nobody for our actions?" Would he
have our army follow the destructive examples
Of the Goths and Vandals, literally consuming
or destroying everything in their march? L. this
the way to save the Union? We hope. however,
that IL will not be long before oil these ram
pant abolition fanatics will be brought to recog-
misc the activity Of our army, and the superior
wisdom of saving, as far as possible, instead of
utterly destroying the South.

report of the Van Wyck committee, exposing
the wholesale fraudulent jobs perpetrated at

chieftain, John G.. Fremont? If he will not
publish it let him at least give a reason for

important piece Of information.
