Nlg@ The royal families of Europe are sometimes very large-inconveniently large when it is considered that their members live on the proceeds of property which re- ally belongs to the state. That of Austria is probably the most numerous. Since the formerly independent branches of Tusca- l ny and Modena were overthrown, and the persons of whom they are composed have returned to Vienna and it's vicinity to live, the Hapsburg family embraces no fewer than sixty archdukes and archduchesses. The palaces which they occupy in the Aus trian capital cover no insignificant amount of space, and the income which they draw from their various possessions throughout the empire would go good ways towards making up the yearly deficit in the Austri- an budget. Prussia, if we reckon all the branches of the Hohenzollerns, rejoices in fifty princes and princesses; Bayar1a has thirty seven of these ornamental, but not always useful creatures, while the royal "a mily of England numbers some twenty two individuals. Perhaps the most re- markable instance of princely fertility is afforded by the principality of Lichten- stein. This is one of the smallest of the German powers, and contains less than eight thousand inhabitants. Yet the fami- ny IG 10 up O1 OuHUJ -SCN- en princes and princesses. s.-Cowant.
 H1gH The elections in Nova Scotia, one of the four Provinces of the new Dominion of Canada, have just been held, resulting in the triumph of the party opposed to the union. Both Dr. Tupper and MT. Howe, the leaders of the Confederation and anti Confederation parties respectively, have been successful but the Unionists have elected their candidates in only two coun- ties of the entire Province. This IS the first opportunity the people of Nova Sco- tia have had to approve or rebuke, through the ballot-box, the scheme of confedera- tion recently inaugurated. When the Par lament through which the Province be- came member of the Confederation was elected, the scheme of Union was not thought of, and, no election having since taken place, it was claimed by the oppo- nents of the measure that the Parliament did not represent the will of the people on this question. They sought Intellectually a reference of the question to the people, as- serting if it were referred, the scheme would meet with little favor in the Pro- vince, and the result of the elections has justified not only their predictions, but the good faith with which they opposed the measure.

New Territory

r.- WALLA WALLA, Jan STE, 1857.
EDIroR STATESMAN Having just returned
from Northern Idaho, and having read the afti
ele' in your paper on the subject of a new Ter.
ritory, | desire to say to you that those articles
fully meet the sentiment of the people of North,
ern Idaho, bnt il is thought by our people that
the new Territory had better be formed in The
first place, out of the Northern part of Idaho,
and that part of Washington lying West of the
Cascades, and then all go to work for the wes
tern counties of Oregon. This plan appears to
be the most feasible, as Congress can alone
divide the Territories, and it is necessary 20 get
the consent of Oregon before she can be Olsen
tegratsd, beside the Legislature of Idaho have
already moved in the matter, and it will require
combined effort to accomplish anything, and
II we get divided andou party asking for one
thing and another asking for something else, we
will get nothing, aud we will remain in Idaho
and you in Washington, completely cut of from
our respective seats OF Government half the
year. Our people are getting up petitions and
circulating them for signatures in accordance
with the Idaho Legislative memorial, aud if your
people would do the same thing and transmit
them to Hon. James Ashley, Chairman of the
Committee on Territories House of Representa-
tives, Washington city, Immediately, there
would seem to be reasonable prospect that the
matter would be attended to during the present
session OF Congress, or at least early in the next
session that couvenes on the 4th of March next.
All agree that Walla Walla is the place for Tie
seat of Government, as it is accessible from all
parts of the proposed Territory at all seasons of
the year. Will the people of walla Walla
awake to their interests, and by making one
general effort accomplish at one stroke more for
the permanent prosperity of the town and thro'
it of the surrounding country, than will be
accomplished in ten years of Incidence Z Al.
ready the great mails are passing around you
the daily from Salt Lake going direct to the
Dalles, and the new semi-weekly to Montana,
starting from Wallula. Does any person think
the mails will pass within few miles and not
touch Walla Walla if it were a seat of Govern.
msnt2 But not only the towns>people but all
of the settlers IN this rich farming country are
directly interested in this natter so start the
ball and all work in one direction until the mat
ter is accomplished. The new Territory will
certainly be rich one in both mineral and 6g
ricultural lands, and in a very few years will
be ready to take its place among the sisterhood
of States. Let Us make one long, strong, uni,
ted effort and we will triumph over the selfish.
