IIANCI AND ITS IIPEIIOR NAPOLEON III. The Empire has been proclaimed, and a mon- arch of France again mates with sovereigns of Europe—but how ldhg will the companionship endure? In France, where nothing is stable but insta- bili —nothing certain but uncertainty——the prov: smation of a new form of government is simply snannouncement that o chan is “ loom- ing in the distance.” The roc amation of Thursday merely ushers the a vent of another revolution. e will give Frenchmen a con )lC of cars for enjoyment of their present bauh e, and shall be greatly disap inted, if we have not strained credulity by it] owing them so long a term for endurance. The new Empire has, however, been proclaim- gd. France, by nearly eight millions of votes, has si ' ed its ac uicsccnce in the wish of un indivi ual, and dec red for an absolute ruler, whose patriotism, or ambition, or vanity, is thus gratified to the utmost extent of human aspiration. Na leon III. has received the honi- age of his obedient satellites—-the od folk of Paris have tossed u their caps ami at the boom- ing of cannon an the cries of “ Vive l’ Ein- pereur!" until they are deaf and hoarse with the excitement-—but what will this do for France, that France might not have done with- out it?-without the disgrace of violated fuith— of oaths trampled u n—-and _of_ recollections grievously disparage b association? _ As President of the ench Republic, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte might have won the first nut in Europe. As time had giwn weight to his authority, and the mural inllucncc he might have exercised in his grnnd position had become peroeptibly a rent, the most (powerful of the sovereigns ofp e universe woul have respected him. and he might have stood alone upon his pedestal for the admiration of future ages: but in condescending to step down from the moral dignit of the riiisr riu-:i:im.\' of the age to the petty evel of ii shadowy sovereignty, we can see uothin for him but mortification and un- noyance. Ilis every act will be compared with a possible parallel case in which his uncle might have been iutcrested——his every word will be canvassed for I]. meaning totall o iposed to his intentions; and the throne to w ic he has des- cended will be to him a seat of interminable apprehension. " So hard it is to climb ambition’: ladder." As to the probable result of the act just con- gnmmated in France, so far as the pea Eu]-op,O is concerned, we think there is little cgnu far apprehension. “ The Empire,” says its mum‘, “ is co." Well, the world requires page, and woe to the war that shall_ first throw the li ted brand 0 _ war among nations!

Pisucii KiLLim.—Bos!on, January 0.—The 12 1-4 train over Boston and Maine Railroad was thrown ofl' the track to-da near Andovcr, owing to the breaking of a w eel. The train was going very rapidly, and one or two cars filled with passengers were thrown down an embank- ment. Gen. Pierce, lady and son were passen- ers on their way to Concord. The son of Gen. ’ierec about 10 years of age, was instantly kil- led. Cars were badly smashed, and several passengers were severely bruised. Ten or 12 persons were more or loss injured—among whom was Mr. Peek of this city. The down train which has just arrived brought six or eight injured passengers. Mrs. Pierce was severely injured. _ Gen. Pierce escaped with slight bruises. Mrs. Pierce was compelled to witness the body of her son crushed before her eyes in agonies most fearful. She attempted to clasp the body of her son in the wreck and was only restrained from slufi-in'r the futeof her boy by the presence of mind oft ll‘ passcn rs. _ Mr. Ncwcll, of Soincrvillc, was severely in- jured; aud a Mr. Bailey, of wrence, had his leg broken; Mr. Kittcrcdgc also had his leg bro- ken; three or four others were somewhat bruised and few of the passengers escaped partial injury. AMERICAN CONSUL A1‘ HALlFAx.—We are pleased to learn that Major B. Hammatt Norton, U. S. Consul at Pictou, has been directed by is telegraphic despatch from the State Department at Washington, to take charge of the Consulate at Halifax, until the pleasure of the President shall be known. Durv AND Gi.oiiv.—A French paper in noticing the death of the Duke of Welling- ton, states that in the twelve enormous vo- lumes filled with his unrivalled dispatches, the word glory does not once occur. How strange must this statement sound to Gallic ears‘. That the hero of Waterloo should never, in recording so many victories, once name that word which seems to a French- man to sum up and crown the aspirations of every military man! The fact is strikingl in harmony with his whole character. t was not glory but duty that possessed the mind of VVellington- The holera was making fearful havoc at the Bahamas. It is said that during the months ofJuly ahd August, one eighth of the inhabitants perished. Vt'civi.is‘s INTELLECT. Mr Hume, in his His- tory of England. speaking of the unfortunate lady Jane Grey. has this memorable passage: ‘She had received all her education with King liilwarrl VI. and seemed to possess even a greater facility in acquiring every part of mainly and classical literature.’ In the conduct ofher educa- llun,lllB prejudices against theintelleetunl charac- isrofllie sex seem to ave been forgotten; an- history, as H records the moral worth of this unfortunate Indy, at the same time bear high tesiimonv of her intellectual attainments. In speaking also of Queen Elizabeth, a sove-reigii whose principal fault was sheer persor. vanity -—iind great mm are not always devoid of Ibis wealim-rs of vamIy—lhe same historian uses the following language: ‘Her vigour, her constan- cy, her vigilance, penetration. and address. me- rn the liiglusi.pruises. The wise ministers and able men that flUull°lI(.‘ll during her reign. owed all of them their advancement to her choice. and Will: all their eneeavors. were never able to obtain an undue ascendancy over her.’ This last asser- lion casls some doubt on the truth of the common- lv received opinion concerning the vanity of Elizabeth. All lb. flattery those men could olfer her, never succeeded in misleading her judgment, or controlling her sense of the duties ofher station.

Union or nu: Bari-isu Nourii AIIIICAI Cci.oi¢i|‘.s.—Witb the British JVbrllt American. we are persuaded that, ifllie people of the British North American Provinces desire to secure for them- selves a prosperity similar to that enjoyed by the poo- pls of the United States, they must look for il.sud will lind it, only in such s union of their interuts as that which has been so largely productive cfevcry us- tiousl advantage and social benefit lo the latter. We are glad to find that such a union is now ear- nestly sdvocuted by some oflhs most respectable and influential journals in these colonies; und—as we can- not think that the people of any of them are so blind to their own interests, as not to perceive the great and immediate benefits which the accomplishment of it I would beater upon them-—we are strongly disposed to hope that, before long, their several legislatures. in compliance with public sentiment touching this object, will, with concurrent action, adopt preliiuinary mos- sures for having their common views, concerning the wisdom and necessity of such a policy, laid, at the same time, before both the British Government and the British Parliament. Even now, we_re any of their legislatures, although it were only that oflhe least of them-Prince Edward Island ilself—to take the initiative, with I view to such concurrent action, we have no doubt the other Colonies would at once gladly respond to the call, and give the project their hearty support; for surely all must perceive, that,so long as these Colonies continue isolated with respect to each other, each pursuing a policy and interests of its own, regardless, it may be, of those of its neighbours, they will continue power- less, in many cases perhaps, to obtain, individually, reasonable concessions from the parent state, and quite incapable of accomplishing, on any thing like equal terms, any important and beneficial negccia- tions with a foreign power. That a proposition for the Federslivc Union of the British North American Colonies would be discoun- tenanced by the Home Government, or unfavourably entertained by the British Parliament, there cannot, we think, be any reason to apprehend; for British statesmen are now “ fully impressed with the grow. ing extent and increasing population of the British Colonies, and the importance of attaching them to the mother country; they feel both that justice and the wisdom of treating them, as far as possible, as in- tegrsl portions of the empire;" and are convinced that ifGreat Britain is to retain any supremacy over them, “ it cannot now be by force, but only by sjust and judicious working-out of concurrent interests. through a clear appreciation and admiuiou ofcom- mon rights." The effecting ofa Federstive Union oftbe British North American Provinces, under the sovereign pro- teclion of Great Britain, is, in our opinion, the only means by which prosperity can be secured to them, and their connexion with Great Britain,be at the sums time, perpetuated. On some other occasion we shall be prepared to enter more fully into this question. In the mean time, we cannot do better than conclude this article with the following pertinent remarks and cogent res- sonings of the British North Jmerican, in favour of the union proposed. "The condition of the present British Colonies illus- trates one part of the Roman Fable of the bundle of slicks,—that which relates to the ease with which they were broken or handled when separated. The condition of what were once British Colonies, the United States of America, illustrates the remaining part, the moral of the same fable,—tlie strength, united, of what, separated, was weak. _ A man ma be rich, but unless he can centralize his wealth, of what use do his riches avail im. Prudence and wisdom consist in forethought as to how we may best svsil ourselves of the advantages we possess in time cfdnngsr and diflieulty. The dif- ticuliies oftbe British Colonies, more particularly of the British North American Colonies, are sdrely now sullicient to induce a concentration of their forces to act unitsdly in resisting t em. The limes indicate such a movement.—Canada, Nova Scoiia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, I’ ince Edward Island, Juniaicii, and the other British I Indies, nre pulling out feelers to try the tons of their sympiilliics, and interest; they appear to converge- to coalesce. — It is time they should. The cverspresding, over- powering Re ublicnu influences want ii balance of power. or nil ier somelliing to balance their power; and that influence must be something cast in the same mould as iliut in which their own metal was run- thnt is, of Anglo Saxon formiition.

My dear ""3 ' Your letter of lbs 8th January last. came to hand, in my absence, about three weeks o,—-it was wol- coruo. been so long without caring from our r little Island, that I thought its people must have on it, for some more money-making. if not happier laud. Idc not think it mutton much where spoi- son's birth-place may have been; in In case, I know, it is the spot, of all others in the wor , I should like best to see; or. if I am never again to visit it, to hear ficm,—or any ofiu good epic, of whom I have an knowlsdge—snd I think can yet recollect them sl . But I have to answer your letter; and as some changes have taken place amongst us since I last wrote, which I should also rslsts, my paper will be no more than suflieisnt. ' 0 m next brother, is now at the uelglibouri Colony of Port Philip—or Victoria, as itis now call —-trying his luck at gold digging. I heard from him about ten do on c. He was moderately successful; but, I think. not doing sullicient to indcs him to remain long. me few make fortunes, in a short time, at the work; but they are very few—perhsps one in five hundred. I think there are nesrl as many losers, as gainers b the work. One I ird, perhaps, do much better t an they can at any other pursuit; and an odd one, here and there, who bap- pens to fall on a rich spot, in digging, may get thou- sr-nds of pounds worth in ii few weeks, or even days; but it is. of all speculations, the most uncertain. Thousands are still going to the diggings; some return unsuccessful; but the greater part persevere, and, as I have ulread said, scuie—many—do well. The Victoria, or l\ ouut Alexander and neighbouring dig- gings. now, I am lold, number over 80,000 diggers. Another gold field, likely to be very roduetive, has lately been found about 240 miles to t e North-west ofus. I have not tried the work in self st. In fact, Icannot well leave my charge are, or even gold digging. Our properly conlisis chiefly of cattle, which kind of stock have of Isis ears been so nume- rous. that not above one third 0 our fut ones can be consumed in ie beef ws ;-—tbe remainder were slaughtered and boiled for t ir hides and tsllcw, and England has been the market. The business, up to the time of finding the gold, was paying pretty well; but, since then, there ecu such an emigration to the di'ggi'ngs,thst it is next to impossible to get bands, at any wages, to look after stock and prepare the tnllow for market. What it is to end in, I cannot tell; but, unless we have emigrants in thousands, shortly, I fear it will be rain, or something very near it, to the stockholders. Let us, however, hope for the best. ’ my next brother to ' ' is now at the cattle station, where I used to be; and ' ' who was an infant leaving the Island, is loolriugmflsr the rest of our cattle, about 70 miles from here,—he will soon be a six-footer; he is back and forward between this and the station. about once in six weeks. All stock looking-after hers. is done on horseback. u appear resolved on leaving the Island. I hardly know what advice I should give in respect to this ceuntry;—many are disappointed with it; and others do well. I consider it is ihuch preferable coun- try to our part of America. In a business or trading way, it requires u long Colonial experience, for a pprson to work with even a probability of success. he generality of people who are now doing well, o are those w it began on nothing; or others, is have an made keen y adversity-—psr ps by more than one failure in business dual- Thsrs are many sharp ers to be oocouiiiorod hero. 0- its other baud, a person who means to live by the labour of his bands, can perhaps got a living bars as easily as anywhere; but to maintain his place and character, economy, industry, and strict sobriety, are more necessary hers than any other place I know of. From my ownlitils ex riches of the world, and every thing considered. I think if] bad a sin to make in beginning, I would try some of the esters or Pacific Htates of America —perhups California or Oregon. The business to be done on that coast, and about the Isthmus, shortly, must be enormous. Our neighbouring Colony of New Zealand will also, I think,‘ soon be a thriving . Every one desires land-a home. Here there is little unoccupied worth having, without going into our hot northern parts, where the climate is not plea- sant to those born nearer the Poles—(it is, however, all healthy as far as is at occupied), and everything to be learned snow. I’ would not advise any one to try the gold digging; the work can only be compared to a lottery, in which there are many blanks; a per- son, to do permanently well, must very circum- spect, psrseveriug, and steady; it has unsettled many here, and ruined some.
