maintains its hostile aspect , Boston , the hot-bed of abolition , has been the scene of an influential meeting of the citizens of Massachusetts , where , among other resolutions expressive of loyalty to the Unionthe following startling
, proposition of compromise was unanimously j > assed : — " . Resolved . That we are in favor of a compromise line , to be established on the parallel of 36 deg . 30 min . north latitude , with the provision that slavery
shall be prohibited in all the territories north of the said line , and shall be recognised in all the territories now existing , or that may hereafter be acquired , south of the same , until the _peojDle of such territories shall be

of the age and the glory and dignity of the nation . While Massachusetts is thus willing to perpetuate and strengthen slavery , Russia is prepared on the 3 rd of March 1861 to proclaim serfdom extinct .

from participating in the advantages offered by the Royal Academy to art students have at length been withdrawn . At the council in June last the best drawing sent in by candidates for the studentship proved to be the work
of a lady , and , on the recommendation of Sir Charles Eastlake , she was at once admitted . Since then three other ladies have been equally successful . On Monday last fourteen drawings were approved of by the council , and in
