Its return was fixed fur I 1848 , but it did not answer the call , frightened I perhaps , as a monarchcial comet , by the ecentricities of I that epoch . The new calculations of the savans do I not , however , admit of much doubt as to the present [ nearness of its visit .

The Portuguese immigrants , being very industrious , money-saving people , have excited the special enmity of the blacks—a feeling of ani-I mosity which has been kindled to the utmost height I by a Creole and native of the colony , named John I Sayers Orr , commonly known as " the Angel Gabriel .

      Prussia And The Conferences. The Constit...

      PRUSSIA AND THE CONFERENCES . The Constitutionmel pubKshes a letter from its correspondent at Vienna , dated the 15 th , on the subject of the admission of Prussia to the Congress . It says : — " The invitation which Count " Walewski , as organ of the Congress assembled in Paris , has addressed to Prussia to take part in the deliberations of the Congress , appears at first glance so unforeseen that we must not be surprised if it gives rise to the most erroneous commentaries and the most hazardous sxTDDOsitions . But a succinct account of the facts

      which induced the Congress of Pans to address that invitation to the Court of Berlin will suffice to reduce the signification and bearing of it to its just value . The idea of associating Prussia in the deliberations of the Congress , in order to place the definitive treaty of peace xmder the general guarantee of Europe , was brought forward by Austria as soon as the Court of St . Petersburg had accepted purely and simply the Austrian ultimatum . " In proof that Austria did this , the letter quotes an extract from a despatch addressed by Count Buol to Count Esterhazy , at Berlin , announcing his intention of directing the Austrian Ministers at Paris and London to reeonv mead strongly to the " Western Powers the admission of Prussia . ¦ '¦' ..

The Talbot Case . —The Easter recess has stopped the progress of this case before the House of Lords . Judgment , therefore , is not yet pronounced , me readers of this paper , who recollect the article in oui leading columns of February 9 th , in which we related the facts of the case , will probably participate in our svmnathv with the unfortunate lady .

      Two Ships Destroyed by Fire . — The jyiartna , Captain Christie , and the Saracen , both of Liverpool , were totally destroyed by fire in the river Bonney on the 11 th of last January , the flames or sparks from tho one setting light to the other .
