Austria has Ceded Lombardy to Piedmont.

Dec. 27.â€"â€"-The Secre- tory of the Navy renews the recommen- dation to still further increase the navy. and instead of perpetuating old vessels, 0r expending millions in constructing a few large ships, it is earnestly recommended to prosecute with vigour the line of policy which has been adopted by Congress, and add a much larger number of sieamships, which can be maintained at comparatively small cost. The Secretary of War says. of the army of near 17,500 men, not more titan 11,000 are available for ac‘ive se. rice in the field, and they are scattered over an area of 3,000,000 square miles. He hopes to make such an alteration in the disposition of the troops next season as will preventany further repetition of then outrages on the Southern and Mexica borders. He recommends the enlistment of men for a mounted corps for six months beginning in May. He recommends a provision for retiring disabled and infirm officers as a measure ,for increasing the efficiency of the army It is not deemed advis ble to proceed in the manufacture of rifled cannon beyond thoscvrcquired fer ex- . perimental purposes. ,He speaks favour- ably of oreccli loading arms.

Events have come and gone with the rapidity of lightning.â€" Rarelv, if ever, in our time have so many soul-stirring and thrilling dramas been crowded into action in 365 days. Searcer had 1859 dawned upon us ere we were startled with the sounds of an ap- proaching war; and the fair plains of Italy were deluged with blood. Hopes were excited in the breasts of many a brave patriot that the avenger of blood was about to strike hoary-headed tyranny’s death blow. Hostile armies met in deadly con- flict to fight for a chimera. and to be deluded by a Despot. Nearly a million of men fell to gain the hol- low and unsubstantial peace of Villafranca; and again, the un- daunted descendants of the world's civilizers were cheated of the un- alienable rights of freedom. Eng. land and France, like chained bull- dogs, have growled ominously at each other. North and South America have been, and are tight ing as it were over the body ‘of John Brown, the martyr. The watchword is Slavery or Freedom, Union or Disunion. In Canada 1859 opened gloomlilv enough -â€" Her sons were fast leaving her in- hospitable shores. The demagogue was striving his utmost to ruin our credit abroad, and sow the seeds of disaficction at home; but thanks to a merciful Providence, we have been blessed with an abundant har- vest. The golden grain has Iciched good remunerating prices, causing the downcast countenance to beam with joy. and averting the disasters with which we were at the 'com- mencement of this. year threatened. The only class who will now 'be disaffected, are those who carrion- like can only glut themselves with blood. Let. crops fail, then these hungry wolves may reap a rich harvest; but with the barns fille with plenty, “Othello’s occupation’s gone ;” for it is hard to persuade a man who has plenty around him that he is in danger of starving.â€" Sucli in brief is our state iii the year 1850., ' Let us now turn from the past and the present, and strive to fathom the unborn future, No thinking being can avoid anxiety when! he reflects for a moment 0 i the proba- ble or possible of 1860. Let our mind's eye sweep the world, Whal- a scene is presented to our viewâ€"r Old Europe, hoary with age, seems fast hastening to some grand catas~ trophe. What stupendous deeds The. ghost of Old Brown clearly haunt-ts it. True it talks big, but its Language rcsemblcsthe whistling of the boy as he passes hurriedly through the churchyard. The who’s-afraid tone, literally means I hope Hohgohlins won’t seize me. The South blasters, but to no pur- pose The trick is too stale, and deceives no one. In Canada 1860, opens joyously in comparison to the past three years, but still there is much distress in the country ; and it bohoves every one to be careful. Avoid all unnecessary eXpenditure; and above all,let each one promptly pay his debts, so as to ease the mo- netary pressure which is even yet severely felt. Politically, it be- comes us to put a severe check on those who, if allowed, will drift us onto ruin. Let no political char-- [atom with his Morrison’s Pills re- medies, dclude us. Steady per- severance, iiidorzi-ituble energy, and stmct economy of each and every one, will enable us to ontride every storm far more surely than the quack nostrums of popularity hunt- ing, unprincipled and brainless po- liticians. Let this truth be remem- bered and acted upon, then: all will get what he heartily wish to each and all of our readers. namelyâ€"a happy New Year! So may. it be. D-HW ,3 MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. The time has again arrived when we are to chose our Councilmen. Many, we are aware, do not care one straw for. municipal matters; others again are ready to find fault with every thing done, but will never strivu to mend matters. Now this is not as it should be.â€" Our ward elections are very im- portant; it is just as necessary to w put the right men in the right place in our Township Councils, as it is to get true men in Parliament.â€" Honesty, integrity and ability, are Just as requisite in these posts as they are in what istermed a higher pOs-ition. Take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves, is an old but truthful adage. Our Municipal Councils are the trainincr schools of our poli- ticians, and you may depend upon it. that ifyou let these gentry squan- der Municipal funds, you have in embryo the gambler statesmen, and the unprincipled M.P.P. 'l‘liereâ€" fore it is all important that our farmers should look sliarpatterthcir wards. Perhaps the best way of testing your representatives is not to exact new pledges from them, but see to it that the past ones have been fulfilled. If not,tlien turn those who break them out. Let Reform begin at borne. See to it that your money is well laid out. You have worked hard enough many of you to get it; do not then let your Councilmen waste it. But whilst you are determined that your money is not wasted, do ish by grumbling at necessary ex- penses. A good bridge is at all times cheaper in the long run than a bad oneâ€"~21 good road cannot be too highly valued; therefore do not elect a Councilman merely be- cause he promises to reduce the taxes; for the one who increases your taxes, and with due eco- nomy spends it upon your roads and bridges, contributes far more to your safety and comfort than the one who letsold bridges go down, or who to keep down the taxes builds bridges that are constantly needing repairs. We have some time since drawn the attention of both Councilmen and Ratepayers to the importance of having good roads and bridges. We. have our eye upon a road not far from this ,which is in a shocking condition. Therefore we sincerely hope that our farmers will turn out and do their duty. It is not our, intention in this ar- ticle to make any invidious com- parisons between the rival candi- [dates for favor. In Vaughan, we learn that this ward is to be con- tested by Col. Bridgford and W. Devlin, Esq Both these gentle-r men are well known to us. We believe that the gallant Colonel has g‘represented this ward for a number Of years. Of course it is for the Electors to say whether or not be than done his duty. On this point we offer no opinion ;_ only this will 'wc say, if he has done his duty, “1?ch Wrougl‘ton “3133.011? Plaingg then no whim or caprice should" Big With results that Will change‘ojcct him from Office; but ,f he has best man is what is required, and l we hope that the. electOrs will see‘ to it and elect that man who will work the best, not only'vfor. his particular. ward, but for the Township.

The usual examination of pupils attending the County Grammar School, took place on Wednesday last, the. 21st instant. There were present many of our most respect- able and intelligent citizens, who take an interest in the progress of education; the result of the day's examination carried conviction to the minds of the parents and visiâ€" tors (as also the Trustees) present, that. at no period, since the corn- mencement of 3. Grammar School here, has the institution been con- ducted so much to the mental im- provement of the. pupils as it has for the past ten months, under the charge of the Rev. S. Johnson, M A., T.C.D.
