The last embers of the disturbance in my East Indian dominion: have been extinguish- ed. My Viceroy has made peaceful progress through the districts which have been the principal scene of disorder, and by a judicial combination of firmness and generosity my authority has been everywhere solidly, and by treaty permanently established. I have received from the Viceroy a most gratifying account of the loyality of my East Indian sub- jects, and of the good feeling evinced by the native chiefs and the great landholders of the country. It will be gratifying to me if the prompt acquiescence of the Emperor of China, in the moderate demands which will be made by the Plenipotentiaries shall obviate the neces- ~aity of the employment of force I have diâ€" rected that the papers on the subject 5hr.” be laid befoi-e you._ The attention of the Government in India has been directed to the development of the internal reaourcen of the country, and I am glad to inform you that an improvement had taken place in its financial prospects.

A dispute having arisen between Spain and Morocco. I endeavored by friendly means to prevent a re ture. but I regret to say without success. apers on this subject will be laid before you. My Plenipotentiary and the Plenipotentia- the“ the Em ror of the French, having. in o dience to eir instructions, proceeded to the mouth of the Peiho River, in order to re- pairto Pekin to exchange in that city ra‘iti- cations of the treaty of Teintsin. in pursuance of the 56th clause of that treaty, their further progress was opposed by force. and a mn- conflict took lace between the Chinese Forts at the mout of the river. and‘the Naval forces, by which the Pleni tentaries were escorted.

My relations with foreign powers continue on sat- isfactory and friendly footings. At the close of the session I informed you that overtures had been made me to ascertain whether if a Conference should be held by the great pow- ers Europe for the purpose of settling arrange- ments connected with the present state and future condition of Italy, and that a Plenipo- , tentiary would be sent by me to assist at such ‘ Conference. I have since received a formal invitation from the Emperor of Austria and the Emperor of the French. to send a Pleni- potentitary to 3 Congress, to consist of repre- sentative of the eight powers, who were par- ties to the treaty of Vienna. The objects of such Congress being stated to be to receive the communications of the treaties concluded at Zurich, and deliberate association with the above powers, the Courts of Rome, Sardinia, and Sicily, on the means best adapted for the pacification of Italy and for placing its pros- perity on a solid and durable basis Desi- rous at all times to concur in proceedings having for their object the maintenance ot peace,l accepted the invitation, but at the same time made known in such Congress I should steadfastly maintain the principle that no external force should be. employed to im-l pose upon the people of Italy any particular} Government or constitution. Circumstances have arisen which have led to the postpone- ment of the Congres, without a day Inningr been fixed for the meeting, but whether in Congress or in separate negotiations I shall endeavor to obtain for the people of Italy freedom for foreign interference, by force ot ! arms, in their internal concerns, and I trust g the affairs of the Italian peninsula may be f nl- j l and satisfactorily settled. The papers on.‘ is subject will soon be laid before yon. .

THE STANDARD. Nothing decisive. had occured between the Spaniards and Moors. The Spaniards assrert that the English Consul General had aided the Moors in every possible way, and his removal from Tangiers was strongly urged. The Pope having called tor the withdrawal of the French troops from Rome, the Empe ror, in the same letter, says he will with- draw them if his Holiness persists, but that he (the Emperor) will cause a month’s notice to be given to all strangers resident in the Eternarl City. The Liverpool Post says the Emperor of the French has written a second letter to the Pepe. It was brief but emphatic. His Ma- jesty is Willing and anxious to remain as hitherto. the eldest son of the Church, and continued deferential to the Holy Father in all things spiritual, but if his Holiness oppose the late propositions, let him remember He_n_ry the V}! I. The English salute was interpretedoec recognition by the English Government of the Fall of the Grand Duke, and as the first fruit ol the combined English and French policy on Italian affairs. A rnmor had been current in Paris that the Emperor intended, as an earnest of his pacific intentions, to reduce the army to 100, 000 men A letter from Leghorn states that an Edg- Iish frigate had entered the harbor and saluted the town. The batteries at om e responded. I“! Another Paris letter writter maintains tha the duty on manufactured iron, which is now £4 per ton, will be reduced to either £2 83 or .151 193. The Paris correspondent of the Spectator savs that the treaty embraces the toilowrng objects ;â€"A complete and effective assimilaâ€" tion of the French and English flags in mari- time intercourse, direct and indirect, between both countries and their respective colonies and exonerating both English and French ships from all tonnage dues in both Engiish and French ports. The commercial treaty between France and England was signed at Paris on the 23rd The terms were not authentically known. and it was reported that they would not be publish- ed until the English Chancellor of Exchequer submitted his budget to Parliament, when the treaty would be simultaneously promul- gated in the Paris M'onticur. Various rumors were all-m as to the provisions of the treaty. The Paris correspondent of the London Times learns, on good authority, that the English Government has frankly carried its principles of Free Trade. He also states that English coal will not be relieved of all duties, but only differential duty. The Hungarians Protestant deputation had left Vienna without obtaining an aut‘ieice of the Emperor. His Majesty offered to to ad- mit to his presence two members of the de- putation seperately~ and as private individ- uals, but this was declined, the Hungarians demanded the restoration of all the rights an t! privileged of their Church and will accept nothing else. If the Emperer complies, it would be tantamount to a confession that the Austrian policy for the last‘few‘ years had comp‘etely failedâ€"one side or the other must in the end give way, and a violent struggle is leared.

Tm: LITTLE I‘ILGRIM.-â€"â€"The. ,February number of this valuabze juvenile monthly After the lecture, Mr. Reveil gave a. very great variety of oddities and instructive scenes which were very well enjoyed by the au- dience. l On Friday, the lOth inst., Mr. Revel], of l London, England, gave an illustrated lecture on astronomy, at the stone school-house, Dar- ham. The planetary system, and the phe- nomena connected with it, was well illustra- ted and explained. We think these lectures should be well attended when supplied with such apparatus as was used on that occasion. They are a great means of education. As you educate the people you wortitonally diminish crime. Public lectures weli‘nillus-a trated with apparatus, will he found promo-l tive of intelligence and virtue. By a law of mind, truth can be talked into mankind, which no other form of teaching can possibly convet'. To this law of mind, instruction should be adapted. The Persian teachers lec- ture to their scholars, it is their great method of instruction, and a most powerful one it is. When the lecturer appeals to the eye as well as to the ear, it is certainly so much tlze more powerful. A benediction was pronounced and the com pan y d nspe rsed.. Rev. Mr Park was ehmted Presiden! ; Geo. Jackson, Vice do. ; A. B. Mcmab, sec. grea- surer. A subscription list was put into circulation, and over $60 weaved, with upward, of $20 the day previous, which will place this branch of the society on a gum} footing. A vote of thanks was tendered Miss Hin- mau and Miss. F ry, for their exertion in col- lecting for the society. - The lecturer stated that the statue of St. Pe- ter in the church at Rome which bears his name, was ofiginolly the statub of JUpiter, a heathen god, worshipped in the days of pag‘ anism. ‘ The Rev. Lachlin Taylor Agert of the So- ciety was then introduced, who gave much valual le statistical information respecting the iBible Society, which time and space forbids i us giving in detail. He stated that the socie- ity issued at the rate of 3% Bibles per minute, in every known language. His description of the action of despotic goverrments pre- venting the free circulation of knowledge, was amusingâ€"Italy in particular,- by thelr scrutiny of traveller’s luggage; the usual question asked by the official being, “have you got books or tire arms ; evincing more fear of the former than the latter. Waxe a lu- --¢..-- cid description of the present state of Rome, and a classification of the clergy : There are 360 churches; 6’000 ecclesiastics, with only 150,000 of a population, 30,000 of whom are beggars ; am, if you deduct the officials from this number, every third individual is a beg- gar. Our language fails to convey an idea of his description of the magnificence of St. Peter’s Church, at Rome, which took 150 years in building. Geo. Jackson, Esq., spoke in a laudatory strain of the institution, and hoped the Bible would be circ ilatod throucrhout the universe without note or comment. The Rev. Mr Hay, in a spirited manner, euIOgised the Bible Society ; shewed the im- portance of its benefits in regenerating fallen man, and as a common platform,where0n the whole Protestant family might meet.

In the second century of the Christian era, according to the concurrent testimony of all the historical and geographical writers, Shan-leang, the commander-in-thief of the army, undertook and completed the formation of roads through the moutainous province of Shense, to the west of the capital. Hitherto its lofty; hills and deep valleys had rendered com- 3‘ mnnication circuitous. With a. body of 100,000 laborers he cut passages over moun- l ! tame, throwing the removed soil into the val- ; lleys, and where this was not suflicient tol raise the road to the required height, he constructed bridges, which rested on pillars and abutments. In other places be conceived and accomplished the daring Pro-l ject of suspending a bridge by ropes from one mountain to another across a deep chasm. The bridges. which are called by the Chi- nese writers “flying bridges,” and represent- a ed to be numerous at the present day, are sometimes so high, that they cannot be tra- versed without alarm.

He ad- dressed the second, who astonished him by saying that he always eat roast beef, and went to bed regularly fuddled for the lam1 seventy years, adding that all depends uponl regularity.

The leap was taken, proved a safe one, and the dauntless woman next fas- tened to the corner of the roof a rope which she had made of her bedding, grasped it in her hands, and swinging fromt e roof passed down on the outside of the wall over windows where other convicts were sleeping, and down to term firma, where, at a distance of forty- five teet below the roof, she alighted in the arms of a confederate. :2» 33> Hungary is at present in a fearful state of excitement.
