AwoTnen PostTPoxRMENT OF THE Popx’s Rerorn. _(reat doubts are now entertained as to the Pope's ve‘arn to Rome at the time named, that event having, at a eaid, been once more postponed. The Vaztonaie afthe 25:5 ult, contains 4 report that his Holiness, dis- rrosting the fidelity of his subjects, entertains the pro- wot of proteeding to Ancona or Legharn, and placing ymesif uncer the protection of the Austrians, which morament will be protected by the French: squadron, expected in the Mfediterranean. There is also report 0 s general amnesty, from which only 30 of the most com- mised individuals will be excluded, of which Cardi- sa) Lambrvschios will be the bearer a few days before the return of the Pops. This report, says the Nazionale, pears to be spread for the purpose of deceiving ance, eid it laughs at the idea ot Cardinal Lambrus- chinj entering Rome as the messenger of peace with the aelf-gratulstion of France at the success of her wrediation, while at the same moment his Holiness @scapes in the opposite direction. On the 2ist the Aus- trian arms were again erected at the Austrian erabasay, not by the Austrians, but by the municipal counc)l, as ion for the insuit committed last year by the po- pulace, who tore them down. The French troops were act present, being consigned by general Baraguay a’!1illiers to their barracks.

The engine, tender, and baggage car bed just cross- ed the bridge, when the crash came, and the entire pas- senger train, crowded go that many had to stand up in the cars, wag precipitated into the water beneath. The scene at this moment was appaling.-~ The water was nine feet deep, and some of the cars were entirely immersed. The night was extremely cold; and the danger of immediate death by drowning was immincot. ’ The first report was, that 39 passengers had been killed; but our jatest despatch contradicts this atate- ment, and brings the gratifying intelligence that but one life hes been sacrificed, that of a brakeman, although all were more or lees injared. ‘The conductor was sé- riously hurt. : EEE a a a ee rms Che Examiner.

The Speech is laccnic enough, and was delivered we are informed, in evident ill-temper; the tone in which the Assembly was addressed gave offence to many members of that Body.

We were enquiring of him how he gut on, and whether be got more for his wotk (upholsterer, cabinet nmking, &e..) than in Mon- trea). To our surprise he said “No; that the prices wore Jower, but that labour also was lower he could get good German workinen at 40 cents a day, and by this means, and by always doiug a cash business, he just eantrived to keep afloat.” ‘These facts serve to show how thoroughly falfacious is the idea that annexation would be beneticial to the labouring classes, [t must be mentioned too that this statement of the Tribune is conta’ned in an, articie in which the editor is insisting ‘aa the necessity of a high tariff—or, in other words. hizh prices for tnost of the necessaries of life. A low mnarket for lubour and a hich market for manufactured goods —this is the present policy of the American Go- vernment, and one of its present results is forty thousand idle souls in the city of New York alone. What an argument in favour of protection! Mark the effects of a differeat policy in “old” abased England. If there ever was a country in which the public men might be excused frow ahrinking from the experiment of Free Trade, England was that country. If on the other hand, there was ever a country which might safely wake the experiment, the United States was that cirintry. Yet the United Statea shrunk from the trial, whilst the older country, with all its gecial embarragsments, its involved commercial systems, ite conflicting interests, and its enormous nationa! debt, went boldly ahed.

Mr. Longworth then moved in amendment, That a Committee be appointed to advertise for tenders for the printing of the Journals; ard to report thereon to the House ; which motion was agreed to. The usual standing Committees were afterwards tp- pointed ; and then the House adjourned. a ae ———- tt ie the intention of the Assembly to pass a Revere Bill.

As the Lieutenant Governor has not, as yet, evince! any disposition to meet the views of the House of As- sembly, it is highly probable the latter will decline s: at once transacting further business than merely pase. ing a Revenue Bill and renew ing expiring laws; ana then proceed to declare a want of confidence in His Ex- cellency, and petition Her Majesty to remove him from, the Government. Such, we beleive, is the course the Louse will pursue, should the Governor continue in lee oppesition. On yesterday evening, since the above. was written, the anawer to the Speech was debated in the House, when. Mr. Coles proposed an amendment to Mr. Palmer’s draft, which was carried by a large majority ; and thus another proof was afforded of the extreme unpopularity and weakness of the Government. The amended an. swerto the Speech declares the determination of the House to do no further business than passing a Revenne Bill under certain restrictions, A New Manvune.—We gather from our exchanges ibat a new manure, of great fertilizing power, has heen discovered, and is now in extensiveuse in the United States. tis called “ Prepared Guano,” and is mann- factured by Kentish & Go. of New York.
