ST. JOINS, N. f., Dec 5.-The Columbia,
from Galway Nov. 24 brings the following
news; The London Morning Post says there
is no truth whatever in the reported reslgna-
ton of Earl Russell MS minister of foreign
affairs.

can ships, with arms for the ST. Domingo in
surgents, had been destroyed by Spanish
vessel of that island.

The British government have decided to
stop the Pampero on the Clyde. Her owners
allege that she does not differ but little, if
any at all, from the numerous merchant ships
regularly fitted out on the Clyde. The au-
thorties we're not satisfied with this state
ment, aud had a gunboat moved close to the
Pampero to prevent her escape.
The memorial diplomatique says that fifteen
of the twenty powers invited to be present at
the European congress have given an afirma-
tive reply to the invitation. The same jour-
nal says that the French government, in reply
to the application of England for programme
of the congress, has replied that, without en-
trenching upon the prerogatiyes of the con-
gress, it would be impossible tor the emperor
Napoleon to lay down the prelIminares, but
that when the replies of all the powers were
bo NrnnlI thpO nttan1 IN al
the questions.
The argument in the case of the Alexandra
ia concluded. The government will take time
to consider its judgment.
The Patrie publishes statement under re-
serve, that the emperor, without wishing to
draw up programme for the congress, has
EXPRESSED the opinion that it should be chief
ly occupied with considering the questions Of
Poland, of German duchies, of Rome, of
Venice, and of the reforms to be introduced
in the municipalities of Romania.
Active warlike preparations are progress
ing in Denmark. Eleven thousand soldiers
have been called out and six war vessels are

was held at Little Rock on the 2lst nit. Tie
Union men are working hard for restoration
OF rights under the old government, and the

The ANTI-SLAvERY FEsTIvAL.-The sur
viving founders of the American Anti Slavery
Society had tri-decennial jubilee at Phila-
delphia, last week, on the occasion of its thir-
tieth anniversary. Of sixty persons who
signed its declaration OF sentiment in Decen-
Der, 1888, forty-fve are still living, and most
Of them loyal to their early faith. The plat
form was occupied by nearly all the pillars of
the society, whose names have become famil-
lar from the part they have borne in the fierce
agitations of the last thirty years. Mr.. Gar.
risOn presided-the foremost Spartan of them
all; and was among the most hopeful and ju-
bilant that the expected day of triumph was
SO near. There were others-reformers of
little faith isbelievers that any good could
come ont of the Nazareth of this awful war;
but the prevailing sentiment was of confidence
and good hope. The following is one OF
many letters Of sympathy received by the
managers OF the society,"
