Rio Janeiro advices say the emancipation
question engrosSes all minds. There seems to
be strong feeling in favor of emancipation
pervading the empire, and reports come in from
all quarters that large Shareholders are volun-
tarily manumiting their slaves The enamel
patOry bill has moreover had the effect of in
ducing the extensive planters to declare their
views upon the great question, which, for rea-
sons of their own, they had hitherto withheld
from the general public. A body of large coffee
planters from Parahyba, Dosul, have presented
to the senate petition strongly cOndemning
the government measure, and doubtless this
petition will be followed by Others from differ
ent parts of the empire.
Henry Ward Beecher, in the Christian Union
of this week, says: "The Orange societies
should parade next year without a banner less
and no inscription rubbed out They should
not do it on an implied promise that if protected
for once they will do it no more. They ought
to move through the streets OF New York until
nobody thinks of molesting them. When that
time arrives 1t will be a matter of no public I'M
portance whether the annual procession is kept
up or not; but so long as dog wags his tongue
against an Orangemen's procession, or be-
wildered magistrate forgets his duty toward
them, the public good requires their continu-
ance. If the Orangemen of New York fail next
year to march through the streets of the city
they will betray sacred duty. By accident
they have become the representatives of a
principle which lies at the foundation of modern
civilization. They do not just now represent a
spent fact in history but living principle; it
is not the battle of the Boyne in Ireland, but
question of liberty in New York"
Adyices state that ISir William Logan and
party who left st. Johns, Newfoundland, on
geological surveying expedition on the 18th
inst, were entirely cut off on their route by a Sc
we're storm on the 14th inst, which swept away
bridges and flooded the principal parts of the
only road they had TO travel upon. 1t is prob
able that the horses and baggage attached to
the expedition have been either lost or badly in
jured. The party are believed to be safe, mas
much as they were provided with portable boats
and one canoe. The storm did considerable
damage in and around the towns Of Topsail and
Hollywood of Newfoundland 1t is said to be
continuation of the hurricane which blew over
the coast of Labrador some weeks ago DESTROY
