_._. ‘ V, \ (Frans the London Times.) A few nights since, Lord Palmerston ad- dressed the House on the diﬁsreuees that have arisen with America. I! answer to Mr. Cob<}s'a’s- arguments, he ave to the world a st merit of the rise and present state of the, dispute, and appealed to his hearers for a ﬁcation which will hardly be withholds; , ith respect to the affairs of Central Aitierica, he stated what is well known to be the’ fact, that the spirit Of the treaty concluded was to prevent further acquisitions oﬁterritory by either of th_e contracting powers. As England has long poshesscd a colony of more or less impor- tance on this coast, -her ministers under- stood the treaty to refer to further settle- ments, and not to those already made. The United States tooka different view, and ‘demanded the immediate evacuation of theterritory we had fancied secured to us. Here was a diﬂiculty somewhat hard to be overcome; "'but,” says Lord Palmerston, “,we have offered to refer the matter to ni-bitration.” Whatever may be the gene- ral opinion, as to the merits of this mode of decision, it at least shows good faith in the party that proposes it, and the declaration of" ord Palinorston was received with ap- plause, by an assembly which, while jealous for its own country's dignity, is not unmindful of what is due to the spirit of peace. With‘ equal frankness, did the Bri- tish premier point out the incidents of the second dispute. We are threatened with a suspension of international relations. The two branches of the Anglo-Saxon race will only correspond officially by means ofa consul, or, at most, a secretary. Possibly no great harm may arise from a short cessation of diplomatic activity; but the cause of this mutual interdict, and not the thing itself, is of grave importance. Such an interruption is generally looked upon as approaching nearly to a state of hostili- ty. In fact, in such a case everything has been done which usually precedes the first irrevocable blow—the great letting out of the waters of strife. The House then listened with attention to the words of the ﬁrst minister. He stated that in the directions for the enlistment in Canada strict orders were given,that nothing should be done to infringe the municipal regula- tions ofthe States or violate the laws of the union. He added, moreover, that when it was found, this enlistment might cause offence to the American Government and people, orders were given for its cessation, and this before any remonstrance was re- ceived. hen oﬁicial representations were made complaining of an alleged infringement of American law, the British government expressed its regret at once and without reserve. Lord Palmerston thus explicitly stated, that his government ﬁrst did all that it could to avoid giving offence, and when charged with discourtesy promptly apologised. This declaration was rseeived with cheers by the British house of commons. The temper of the govern- ment and the national representatives was fully evinced at this sitting. The feeling of the public we believe we have expressed, and it fiill coincides with that of the mi- nistry an the commons. A sincere desire or peace, a wish to make any honourable concession, s. regret that any alleged act of ours should have caused a difiiculty between the two countries, animates all classes and will determine their future conduct.

Turn now to America. From the Five Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico we believe no thinking American fails to perceive that, if his country be brought into hostilities with our own, the Central American affair and the recruiting oﬂiee are not motives, but

xts. To the few, principally immi- ‘I-ants, who detest England and look for- ward to I stragge with satisfaction, we shall not speak. at of the mass of Ame- ricans we would ask, whether their govern-

..nsnt can disturb the peace of the world in Isle disputes without incurring the just reprpbstion of every free nation? Can it. be denied, that these matters might be isettled at once if it were the wish of one or two men at Washington to settle them? Can it be denied that even in the President’!

use ace. We believe that Pei-esident Pierce are divi-

of action. The following is said to he the state of parties. The Attorney-gear rsl, Mr. Caleb Cusliing, has been the leading spirit in these idiffereneea. He is said not to object to war,-or_,st least to such an approach to it, as ms ‘ give him popular- ity and a reputation for igh spirit through- out the States. As a law oﬂicer of the Government,his language should have been cautious and his conduct moderate; how far both have fallen short of such an ideal we may judge from the letters bearing _his signature that have appeared in ‘print. Mr, Cashing has ni_uch influence with the President, and they [are probably bound together by an identity of political objects. It is stated that Mr. Marcy. the Secretary of State, is opposed to the warlike demon- strations of his colleague and his chief. If the settlement of these disputes depend- ed on him and the British Minister, matters would not long remain nnarranged. The prolonged stay of Mr. Crampton in Wash- ington is said to be due to his moderation. Now, the present state of affairs seems to be, that Mr. Marcy has so far yielded as to join in the despatcli of a positive demand for Mr. Crampton’s recall. The President and Attorney-General wished the demand to be categorical, and so to necessitate a rupture, but Mr. Marcy is said to have prevailed so far, as to frame it in a manner which will allow of further correspondence. VVe have thus a proof of the temper which rules the men on whom the destinies of the two nations for the time depend.

Piuiccs Enwian Isusn.-—'I‘he rumour prevailed, that s new Goverpor-"—a gentle‘ man of colonial birtli—was'.sbout ;io;be gppoimod, and.gri:nt curiosity, with small degree ofexcitement, was manifested to ascertain who and what the new-comer was to be.—.Rcsdiim Recorder.

FATAL Accioss-r.é-—A young man named Go it met with his death a few days since, at ﬁiisquodoboit, in the following manner. He was out in the woods moose-hunting. Having stooped doivn to examine some tracks in the snow, he was in the act of str f litening himself up when he was obser- vedJfrom a distance by another man, who was in the woods with the some object, and mistaken for a moose. The, consequence was that liewas instantly ﬁred at, received the charge "in his body,'?snd died a few hours afterwards.-—.dcadiun Recorder.

Capt. George Lewis, of P. E. Island, who came passenger in the ﬂinei-ica, reports having passed on the l9tli inst., when three days out, a steamer which hav- ing no bowsprit and a straight stem, was supposed to be one of the Collins line. She was standing to the Eastward and appeared to be going slow. 'l‘he distance between the two steamers when they passed each other was about thirteen miles. Tlieie is some difference of opinion as to whether the stranger did or did not show her colors in the rigging. There was of course no apprehensions as to the safety ofthe Paciﬁc in England, which fully explains why the latter did not alter her course, and ascertain the name of the steamer sighted on the l9tli. \Ve are happy to think, that there can be no reasonable doubt, that the ship thus

From this description of affairs, which. we believe to be correct, it is impossible? not to driiw a conclusion in favour of our,’ own Goverinent. \'\’e are the less reserved ‘ in doing so, because the worst that can be said against their own politicians always comes from the lips of Americans It is no invention ofthe British press, that senators and secretaries of state are ready to bring their nation to the brink of war, in order to prolong their own power or embarrass their successors. Even the phrase “po- litical capital,” which so well expresses what is gained by such courses, is not 0 English origin. The debate in the senate, which was in progress when the last steamer left, will probably be full of the usual invectives against England. The antipa- thies of the old and the enthusiasm of the younger speakers will both nd vent in deﬁance to this country. The American public, we learn, is pretty well aware of what each speaker will say, and we are happy to believe, that some of the most acrimonious will have but. little weight. Yet it cannot be doubted that the accusa- tions will be many, and the apologies few. We cannot, however, but think that such an exhibition will lessen the character of the American Senate by its strong contrast to the moderation and good sense of our own representatives. Even in the opinion of Americans, those men must sink, who talk of war only through a belief that their words-will be without effea, in who,

the indifference of their countrymen; for that such paltry disputes should involve two such nations in a struggle which would be fought out on every sea, we cannot believe. Although it does not lessen the demerit of those who tamper with international good will, yet we, in common with almost all Englishmen, think that the bonds ofa common language and civilisation are too strong to be broken by a dissension to which nine-tenths on both sides of the Atlantic are totally indifferent. Not through any fear of war, for England was never so strong or so well prepared as now, but from sincere love of peace and its insati- mable benefits, we trust that American statesmen will be actuated by the same spirit which our own rulers have shown.

The sclir. Romp, Swain, mast.er, from P. E. Island for Boston, with outs and barley, put into Yarmouth Sound, 19th inst., with ﬁve feet water in her hold and in a disabled condition, having lost bowsprit and head sails in a gale off Mount Desert the previous day. ’l‘he leak was about the bows, occasioned by carrying away the bowsprit; and as both anchors and chains had been thrown over to lighten the vessel forward, when she came round Cat Island under foresnil, wind N. an attempt was made to run her ashore as far up the Sound, as the wind would permit her to go. Owing to drift ice, she only got within a hailing distance of the shore, and the vessel lies aﬂoat in the ice above Sandy Point. The crew got on shore over the ice, and they have it line from the vessel to the shore. The probability is that both vessel and cargo will be lost, unless the steamer Eastern State can reiich—-an attempt is being made to cut the steamer through the ice. This is but one of a series of disas- ters that liave befallen Romp, on her pre- sent voyage. She left P. E. Island, some eight or ten weeks ago, and has since been into both Halifax and Cape Negro for re- pairs.-—-Yarmottlh Tkibune, Feb. 30.

Piuc-rieii. Pnivsn.—In the vicinity ive a poor but industrious man, depending for support upon his daily labor. His wife fell sick, and not being able to hire a nurse, he was obliged to con- ﬁne himselfto the sick bed and family. His means of support being cut off, he soon ound himself in necd.—l-Iaving a wealthy neighbor near, he determinedto go and ask or two bushels of_wliest, with a promise to pay, as soon as his wife became so much better that he could leave her and return to his work. Accordingly he took his bag, went to his neighbor’: and arrived while the family were at morning prayer. As he sat on the door-atone, he heard the an pray very earnestly that God would othe the naked, feed the hungry, relieve the needy, and comfort all that inourn. The prayer concluded, he stepped in gnd mu]. nown his business, promising to pay with the avails of his first labors. The farmer "_|| "TY 50")’. he could not accommodate» him, but he had promised to lend a large sum ofmoney, and he presumed neigbour A would let him have it. With a tearful eye and a sad heart, the

Sronv or A HioiiivavniiN.—Not many years ago, an Irishman, whose ﬁnances did not keep pace with the demands made on his pockets, and whose scorn of honest labor was eminently unfavorable to their being logitiinately ﬁlled, borrowed an old pistol

extremity, and took the highway convenient where he was likely to ﬁnd a heavy purse.

A jolly old farmer came jogging along, and Tim put him down instantly as a party who possessed those requisites he stood in need of so much himself. Presenting his lpistol, he coiiiiniinded him to “stand and deliver.”

The poor fellow forked over 50 dollars, but ﬁnding Tim somewhat ofa greenhorn, begged a five to take him home, a distance oflialfa mile. The request was compliedt .witli,.accompanied with the most patroniz- ing air.

Old Acres and Roads was a knowing one. Eyning the pistol, he asked Tim, if he would

“Is it to sell the pistol? Sowl, and it's the same that I'll be after doing. What will ye be after giving for it?"

“ I'll give you a five dollar bill for it.”

“Done! and done is enough between two gentlemen. Down with the dust and here's the tool for ye.”

The bargain was made by immediate transfer. The moment the farmer got the weapon he ordered Tim to shell out, and threatened to blew his brains out, if he refused.

Tim looked at him with a comical leer, and buttoning his breaches’ pockets, sang out—

“ Blow away, old boy, and divil take the bit of powder’s in it.”

We believe the old fellow told the last part of the story but once, and that was by the purest accident.
