Nis statements were full and acenrate, evineing great research and eare. His account of British Colunbia and of the Red River settlement were quite interesting, invested as they were with an air of romance and nuveity. Towards the close of his lecture be spoke of the Provinces as a whole. Of their extent, stretching some three thoasaud miles from Newfoundland on the East to Vancouver's Island on the West; and having « breadth, from North to South, of about a thousand miles. Of the necessity of railway communication between them, by a grand hue from Halifax to Quebec, and thence to the Pacific Ocean. Of their relations to Kurepe, and the near prospect of a new attempt to lay down a sub-Athintie cabapnaphhie line vetween the home empire and its North American *rovinees. Aud lastly, of the desirableness of a Federal rather than a Legislative anion between them; with general legislation fer general pur- poses, and local legislation for local purposes ; unticipating here the founding, in due time, of a great independent North American Unien, balancing and rivaling that of our Republican neighbors.

We are gratified to learn that religicus distinctions, which are su often now resorted to lor political purposes, were thrown aside by the Protestants residing in the vicinity of St. Andrew's Parish, who cordially ac- sisted their Catholic neighbours in the perform- ance of their pious work. } REMOVAL OF ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH. The removal of the old Church of St. Andrew's Parish to Charlottetown, ou the ice, is worthy of more than a passing notice. Lhe -people of this Parish having completed theirsplendid new Church, and having no use for the old ove, resol ved on haal- ing it tu the city fur a schuvul-house. One of their reasous for not taking the building asunder was the veneration which they had for it, both on account of its ave, and on account of the venerable prelate vy whoim it was erected. It is the oldest Catholic Church on the fslund, having been built upwards of sixty years ago by Bishop McEachern, whose me- mory 1s still venerated by all classes of the commu- nity. It was in that Church that all the Catholics ot St. Andrew's Parish, #8 well as many of those of the surrounding parishes, received Baptisu: aud other Sacraments; it was thevein that the good Bishop laid the fonndation of Catholicity in this Colony. It is no wonder, then, that the people de- sired Wo preserve an ediliee which brought to their minds #6 many pleasing and holy reminiscences. Besides, the material in the frame and other parts of the building is as sound Dow as it was when the Chureh was built. ‘To transport a Charch of upwards of sixty feet in lenzth, to a distance of twenty miles, was vet an undertaking of a trifling nature. Hence it was ne- cessary, in the first place, to place the building on a strong sleigh, the runners ot which were of hard wood, at least « foot sqaure. The chareh heing se- curely fastened on to this sleigh, some fifty teams of horses were, on Monday, the 7th inst., tackled thereto, hauled it on to the ice of the Hillsboro’ River, and set out for Charlottetown. A large num- ber of persons, Protestants as well as Catholics, assembled to aid in starting the Church ; aud seldom is there enjoyed any wherea more beantifal and pic- turesque sight than was enjoyed by those who witnessed the Church passsing down by Mouut Stewart Bridge, at the rate of five miles an hour, accompanied as it was by hundreds of individnals. For about twelve miles every thing went on admir- ably, and without even one stoppage ; but when the Ruildiug was approaching Apple-tree Wharf. and ue the horses were trotting alouy with the view of passing rapidly over the ice which was known to be weak at that place, suddenly the Church broke down into the river. Were it not for this accident, which happened about two o'clock, the Chureb would have been in the city about 4 o'clock. We may easily imagine the disappoiutment of the good uecighbouring parishes of Tracadie and Fort Augus- tus, Whe were aiding in the good work, wheu they saw the Church ten feet in the Hillsboro’. How- ever, they were not disconraged. Atter making several unsuccessful attempts to draw the building wit of the ice, the people dispersed for the night, many of them going to Charlottetown, where they very interesting, from being reudered by nearly two The successful issue of the Soiree 1 refleets much credit ou the Musical Direetor, whe | Mr. Edward Roche gave an interesting ‘eeture, at this fustitute, last Weduesday evening, on “* The other races Sprang from diflerent “ cleeties of ‘ He gave copious extracts from the | stadt, there being reason to suppose that the Niels air and sea,” sprang from those preserved in Nouh’s people of St. Andrew's, as well as many from the | © come.

The | Danish loss in the engagement daueunted to nine men wounded and missing; they captured one officer, a surgeon, and 28 Hussars. | Military operations appear te be quite sus- | pended in Schleswig. ‘The despatches whieb come trom that quarter do-not speak of any warlike | movements near Duppel. A thaw has again set in, but the operations remain interrupted. Hanoverian sappers have been ordered to pro- ceed from Rendsburg to erect batteries at Gluck- } Jurl will blockade the Elbe. CAPTURE OF A DANISH MERCHANTMAN. The Austrian gunboat Vilenich has captured a Danish werehautman laden with coffee, aud lett it at the Island of Cephalonia, THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA’S DECREE. An Imperial decree has been issued by the Emperor of Austria declaring that Galicia is in a state of siege. The document and the reasoning it contains must be edifying to those Kuglishmen,it there really are any such, Who adwiure the attitude of Austria in Schleswig. The Austrian Emperor i iformes the Poles of Galicia that they form an in- separable portion of his dominions, and that he wust anticipate any chance of their attempting to realize the nationality principle by dealing with the district as ove already in rebellion. The rights of nationalties are all very well in Schleswig, but let us bear neve of that talk in Galicia. THE POLISH INSURRECTION, Fifteen hundred insurgents, under the camme nd of Bossak, having occupied the towu of ; in the Government ef Radom, were att on ;the morning of the 22d ult. by a considerable | Russian force. The engagemeut lasted the whole jday. The Poles, who had barricaded themselves in the houses, inuflicteé a heavy less upon the Russians. The latter received considerable rein- fureements towards the evening, when the Poles retreated in good order under cover of the night te the forest of St. Croix. Forty houses in the | town were reduced toe ashes. | THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE. The last intelligence inforws us that differences have sprung up between Austria and Prussia in | their Dauish policy: nor is it surprising that it ‘should be se. The high-handed proceedings otf Prussia in the invasion of Jutland are alone enough to alarm the Emperor of a polyglot State jlike Austria. The invasion, and the refusal te ) evacuate, constitute a preeedeut, which practised | by England or France might, inconvenience Aus- | tria to an inswravountable exteut iu Italy or Hun- jgary. Of all the powers Austria has most to hope frou forbearance, and the least to expect from an active assailant on her frontiers. It is vot the policy of Austria te be dragged into schemes of mere military strategy by Prussia, for |it Prussia has nothing to lose beyoud her froen- tiers, Austria has much to lose in her woral status in Europe, apart trom her geographical position. | The two Germau Powers ought net to require te be reminded that they are net necessary tu the European system. ‘Chey simply represent the com- | promise which Europe settled in 1851, but their | present state does net nvite the support of the triend of liberty andimprovement. All that Aus- tria can do she ia obliged to do te hold ber Kanpire together, and all that russia ought to do is to be content with what she is, aud apply herself to the | development of the liberties which her people are | 30 admirably fitted to exercise. | Austria and Prussia, have, however, entered npon a very dangerous course of action in Europe | Really in opposition tu Germany, ostensibly to in- | flict punishment upon Deumark for breach of faith, und still more in jealousy of each other, they have outraged the international law, and are now sum- moned to a conference to answer fortheir misdeeds. | Austria, to do her justice, has wccepted the invita- tion in a spirit which shows that she really does wish to make the war local, and leave the question to be settled by the European Powers in Soni Prussia is not so complacent, and demands the com- plete evacuation of Schleswig by the Danes as a condition precedent to her appearance in Couter- jence. The proposal is just as reasonable as .f France, having luvaded the Rhenish Provinces be- fore listening to propos ls for peace demanded the evacuation of the left buuk of the Rhine by Prussia. It is difficult to eee how a Conference can deul with a question which has been made the pretence of doing Deumark a yreut wrong, m which Ger- may presses forward with views of her own, and where even the assailants represent views equally contradictory of Danish wud German policy. There jis only one Way in which Europe can deal with all varties, and that is by the exercise of the strong on If Europe does take such a view of the qnes- tion, it is not Austria or Prussia whe can complain- for their own existence depends upon the preserva , tion of the statu qao in Europe. The proposal of the Emperor of the French for a Congress was not accepted becanse the inconveniences it was pre- posed to cure were only the resuls of a previous Congress at Which all the great statesmen of Kurope assisted. A Conference is a were trifling affair, but when we see the deplorable consequences whieb have been allowed to follow the Conference of L852, and the way in which a Treaty has been set aside, we are not disposed to look hopefully for a selu- tion on the assembling of another in 1854.
