      SWITZERLAND . The Mvttie of the 24 th ir _» i . contains the decree of the Government of Lucerne , ordering the re-organization of the landsturm , " to protect persons and property against the attack of foreign hordes of _brisuids . " All men able to carry arms were to be inrorpwatcd with , the _lauusturio , and to assemble in the thief town of their respective districts at the first sound of the tocsin , and " inarch to destroy the invaders . " Dr . Steiser , one of the prisoners taken

      during * hc last revolt , had been permitted to visit his patients , accompanied by two gendarmes and ekrht soldiers . The authorities of Lucerne had seized a sum of _SO _. tlWf . in specie , deposited by M . Jules Salnuanu in the hands of a banker-of that city . Colonel Gnggenbuhler had died at Lenzbourg'in the arms of his wife and sister . Confined by illness during the whole summer , he left his bed to defend the cause oflibcrtv , and the fatigues he experienced iu the outbreak of the 8 th inst . had completely exhausted his strength .

      Geeat Excitement ix the Castoxb . —The excitement occasioned by the late conflict in the canton of _Lurx-nii-has by no * means subsided , but it seems to qiread rather than otherwise . A popular assembly of about 3 , 000 persons , chiefly composed of citizens of Heme , Soleure , and Argau , and refugees from Lucerne , was held in the church of Faubrunnen , on the 10 th ult . A plan for an association against the Jfsuitswas organiscd _, and a petition to the government of Berne finally agreed upon , calling upon it to place itself at the head of the cantons opposed to the establishment of the Jesuits in Switzerland . Hostile resolutions were also passed in a meeting at Zofingue . The canton of Schwvtz marched troops to the frontier of Lucerne " on the 16 th . Meanwhile ,

      the executive council of Lnccrnc addressed to all the cantons a federal resolution , according to which , the formation of volunteer corps is prohibited The irritation is displayed in the most violent language . A radical journal , printed at Argau , offered a sreinium of 75 Swiss irancs . to _whamsQever _. shall -kfal & mt ? 0 _« _% _»^^ a member of the grand council of Argau , had tendered the resignation of his seat in that assembly : — " Having participated in the expedition against Lucerne ' " he says , "I cannot remain any longer a member of the councils of the republic It is with their carbines that the Swiss people must , in future ,

      dictate their wishes ; for the tcderal compact no 1 oihkt exists . It has been long since torn and _replaiyd by the golden league : the league of the Boriwuieans ( Catholic , party ) . Not a vestige of that _eftiupaet is now entire , " The grand council refused to accept this resignation . The grand council of Zurich assembled on tho 16 th , for the purpose of appointing a burgp-master . The election , under _exisiins circumstances , was considered of the highest importance . After five ballots , M . Zehnder , the lilturai candidate , obtained two votes more than his ( oiujictitor , M . Uluutschi , the Conservative candidate , and was declared duly returned .

      TURKEY . _C-usstaxtixople , Dec . 11 . —The progress of diplomatic _m-gociations has again been impeded by the birth , on the i « th inst ., of another child to the Sultan . This time it is a princess , who bears the name of _Jlunire , i . _e ., Brilliant . To-day the Sultan holds , in consequence , a _rikkiab , or levee , which is attended by all the high functionaries who are , therefore , alisent from their offices . By the last accountsfrom Persia it would appear that Dr * Wolff will be called upon to make a protracted stay at Tehran , until the

      settlement of the pecuniary _obligations he contracted on withdrawing from the territories of Bokhara . Report * state that during the late stonm ; some six or eight English vessels have been lost in the Azoffaud Black Sea . The weather has cleared up at last , and we shall soon ascertain the real extent of the alleged losses . We have gales here every winter which generally moderateatthe endof three or four days , whereas _lhepwyent lasted , off and on , a full fortnight . Even at present the bosom of the sea is anything but a bed of rose . --

      UNITED STATES . TEB TKESlBEST ' s SPEBCH . _AXTICirATED WAH BETWEEN THE CKHED STATES JLVD 1 IF . XICO . _LrvEisrooL , _StrsnAT _Eyextsg . —The British and North American Royal mail steam-ship Caledonia , Captain _Ixiti , arrived in Lfwitlc-bay at four o ' clock this afternoon . The Electoral College had unanimously confirmed the late Presidential and _Vicepresidential elections . Congress met on Monday , 2 d inst ., _2 « d _tlic President ' s message , which we annex , was delivered on the following day . The anterior proceedings of Congress are interesting . In the _Senate , on the 3 rd . Mr . _M'Dufie introduced a joint resolution for the annexation of Texas to the United _States . The resolution provides that the first eight

      articles of the treaty rejected by the Senate last session , shall be the fundamental law of union between tfcc United States and Texas , as soon as the supreme authorities of that Republic shall agree to the same ; and , also , that whatever was stipulated to be done immediately , or at a iixcd period after the ratification of the treaty compact , shall be done immediately or in a like period after , the authorities of Texas shall have formally agreed to the resolution . It was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations . A similar joint resolution was also reported in the House . On the following day Mr . Benton introduced Ms bill of last session , providing for the " re-annexa tion of Texas : "' and this was also referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations . On the same day a _resolution , Introduced by Mr . Allen , calling upon the President of the _United States for information _conceding the state of the negotiations pending on

      the Oregon questions , was , after some opposition , adopted by a vote of twenty-four to sixteen . Another resolution , calling upon the President , if notineonipatiUo with the public interest , for copies of all _correspoudeHce between France and the American _MiniJtvr at Paris , relative to the proposed annexation _, was adopted . A hill to establish a uniform line for the election of elceiors of President and Vice-presiocnt was under consideration . We have _received _a _inafs « _. f official documents connected -with Hie o uo 5 tion of annexation . It appears that during the past spring and autumn an active and exceedingly lengthy correspondence has been _« king place between the United States , Mexico , _lexas , Franco , and no doubt England , with respect ' O annexation ; the most important facts disclosed by _nuieh are , thai , in pursuance of instructions received _^ tn Calhoun to " use strong language , " Mr .

      non , the united States Minister to Mexico , at once proceeded to do so , by protesting , " in the most solemn form , " agaiust the invasion of Texas , and against the manner in which Mexico was acting towards that country in regard of General Woll ' _s order of June last . According to the generality of the accounts , Mr . Shannon had suspended diplomatic relations with Mexico , but the reports want confirmation . The remainder of the correspondence referred io above shows that Texas , alarmed by the threats of an invasion by Mexico , applied to the United States Government for the fulfilment of Mr . Murphy's pledge of military assistance and protection , which , it may be remembered , Mr . Murphy was rebuked for giving , as b . yond his authority . This fact was adverted to in the reply to the application , which

      declined rendering the assistance , on the ground that the promise was to be in force only while the treatv was pending ; and as the treaty had fallen through , by the refusal of the Senate to ratify , the promise had fallen with it . Outbreaks of the ' most serious character had certainly occurred in different states of Mexico . Nearly one-half of the Mexican army had revolted , and declared against Santa Anna , if the reports brought by these vessels arc correct . The Government were put to- the greatest trouble to obtain money to prosecute the war against Texas , and everything was at odds and ends . Congress had voted unanimously an approval of Senor Rejon ' s

      _eoirespondenee with Mr . Shannon , and it was thought that Santa Anna , through the impending war , might be able , by obtaining command ol the . purse , to keep possession of the sword of State . Meantime , General Paredes has placed himself at the head of a revolt , and has publicly denounced Santa Anna _,, complaining of the disorganization of the anjiy , fhe abuses of the treasury department , the disorder existing in the public offices , alleged breaches of law and violations of right on the part of the Dictator , and the invasion of Texas , not on the score of right on the part of the Texians , but on that of the mismanagement of the proceedings against that province .

      THE MESSAGE . It-is impossible for us to give this document entire , occupying , as it does ,-nearly a . page of the London daily papers . -All the " points , " - however , wc do give , and no fact of importance is--omitted in the following digest : —

      SUCCESS OF TUB DEMOCRATIC EXPERIMENT . — STABILITT OP REPUBLICAN INSTITUTIONS . To ike Senate and _Mousi of _Xepreiexlalires of ( he United _StaJei . We have continued cause for expressing our gratitude to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe for the benefits and blessings which our country , under His kind providence , has enjoyed during the past year . Notwithstanding the exciting scenes through which we have passed , nothinghas occurred to disturb the general peace , or to derange the harmony of our political system . The great moral spectacle has been exhibited of a nation , approximating in number to 20 , 000 , 000 people , having performed the high and important function of electing their Chief Magistrate for the term of four years , without the commission of any acts of violence , or the manifestation _< of a

      spirit of insubordination to the laws . The great and inestimable right of suffrage has been exercised by all _^ * ho were invested with it , under the laws of the -different states ,- in a spirit dictated alone by a desire , in the selection of the agent , to advance the interests of the country , and to place beyond jeopardy the institutions under which it is our happiness to live . That the deepest interest has been manifested by all our countrymen in the result of the election is not less true than highly creditable to them . Vast multitudes have assembled , from time to time , at various _places for the purpose of canvasBing the merits and pretensions of those who were presented for their suffrages ; but no armed soldiery has been necessary to restrain within proper limits the popular zeal , or to prevent violent outbreaks . A principle much more controlling was found in the love of order and obedience to the

      laws , winch , vnth mere individual exceptions , everywhere possesses the American mind , and controuls with an inrfuence far more powerful than hosts of armed men . We cannot dwell upon this picture without recognising in it iliat deep and devoted attachment , on the part of the people , to the institutions under which we live which proclaims their perpetuity . The great objection which has _always prevailed against the election , by the people , of : heir cldef executive officer , has been the apprehension of tumults and disorders , which might involve in ruin the _i-ntire Government . A security against this is found not only in the fact before alluded to , hut in the additional / act that Tre . live _underacpnfederaCT , _embracing'alreaflj _? v _^^ sn _^ _SfiW " _nlf onlB o'f wfifcfi' iias power"to' « nv troul the election . The popular vote in each State is taken at the time appointed by the laws , and such

      vote is announced by its electoral college , without reference to the decision of the other States . The right of suffrage and the mode of conducting the election are regulated by the laws of each State ; and the elec-: ion is distinctly federative in all its prominent features . Thus it is , that , unlike what might be the results under a consolidated system , riotous proceedings , should they _jirevaU , could only affect the elections in single States , without disturbing to any dangerous extent the tram •[ utility of others . The great experhnent- _^ a political confederacy , each member of which is supreme as to all matters appertaining to its local interests , and its internal peace and happiness , while , by a voluntary compact with others , it concedes to the united power of all the protecrion of its citizens in matters not domestic—lias been so

      ; ar crowned with complete success . The world has witnessed Its rapid growth in wealth and population : and , under the guide and direction of a superintending Providence , the developments of the past may be regarded but as the shadowing forth of the mighty future . In the bright prospects of that future , we shall find , as patriots and philanthropists , the highest inducements to cultivate and cherish a love of union , and to frown down every measure or effort which mar be made to alienate the States , or the people of the States , in sentiment and feeling , from each other . A rigid and close adherence to the terms of our political compact , and , above all , a sacred observance of the guarantees of the Constitution , will preserve union on a foundation which cannot be shaken ; whHe personal liberty is placed beyond hazard or jeopardy .

      THE _POTCHE OF THE AMERICAN HEPUDLIC . The guarantee of religious freedom , of the freedom of the press , of the liberty of speech , of the trial by jury , of the habeas corpus , and of the domestic institutions of each of the States—leaving the private citizen in _thefuU exercise of the high and ennobling attributes of his nature , and to each State the privilege , which can only be judiciously exerted by itself , of consulting the means best calculated to advance its own happiness;—these are the great and important guarantees of the constitution , which the lovers of Bberty must cherish , and the advocates of union must ever cultivate . Preserving these , and avoiding all interpolations by forced construction , under the guise of an imagined expediency , upon the constitution , the influence of our political system is destined to be as actively and as beneficially felt on the distant shores of the Pacific as it is now on those of the Atlantic Ocean . The onlv formidable impediments in the way of its sue

      cessful expansion ( tune and space ) are so far in the progress of modification by the improvements of the age as to render no longer speculative the ability of representatives from that remote region to come up to the capita ] , so that their constituents shall participate in all the benefits of Federal legislation . Thus it is that , in the progress of time , the inestimable principles of civil libcrry vrill be enjoyed by millions yet unborn , and the great benefits of our system of goverment be extended to now distant and uninhabited regions . In view of the vast wilderness yet to be reclaimed , we may well invite the _lorer of freedom , of every land , to take up his abode among us , and assist in the great work of advancing the standard of civilisation , and giving a wider spread to the arts and refinements of cultivated life . Our prayers should evermore be offered up to the Father of the Universe for His wisdom to direct us in the path of our dutv , so as to enable us to consummate these high

      purposes . OBJECTIONS TO BEPUBLICAN 1 SK _AXSWEBEP . One of the strongest objections that have been urged against confederacies , by writers on government , is the liability of the members to be tampered with by foreign Governments , or the people of foreign states , either in their local affairs , or in such as affected the peace of others , or endangered the safety of the whole confederacy . We cannot hope to be entirely exempt from such attempts on our peace and safety . The United States are Incoming too important in population and resources not to attract the observation of other nations . It therefore may , in the progress of time , occur that opinions entirely abstract in the states in which they may prevail , and in no degree

      affecting their domestic institutions , may be artfully , bat secretly , encouraged _witli a . -view to -undermine tlw Union . Such opinions may become the foundation ol political parties , until at last the conflict of opinion , producing an alienation of friendly feeling among the peopi * of the different states , may involve in one general _Obstruction the happy institutions under which we live . It should ever be borne in mind that what is true in regard to individuals is equally so in regard to states . An interference of one in the affairs of another is the fruitful source of family dissensions and neig hbourhood disputes ; and the same cause affects the peace , happiness , and prosperity of states . It may be most devoutly hoped that the good Sense Of the American people will ever be ready to repel all such attempts , should they _erer be made .

      PEACE . There has been no material change in our foreign relations since my last annual message to Congress . With all the powers of Europe we continue on the most friendly erms . Indeed , it affords me much satisfaction to state ,

      ->. * , T1 " S Section Includes The Unfo...

      that at no former period has the peace of that enlightened and important quarter of the globe ever been , apparently , more firmly established . The conviction that peace is the true policy of nations would seem to lie growing and becoming deeper among the enli ghtened everywhere ; and there is no people who have a stronger interest iu cherishing the sentiment , and adopting the means of preserving and giving it permanence , than those of the United States .

      THE _OEEOON . Since the closing of your last session , a negotiation has been formally entered upon between the Secretary ot State and her Uritannic Majesty ' s Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary , residing at Washington , relative to the rights of their respective nations iu and over the Oregon territory . That negociation is stiU pending . The President proceeds to recommend the esta blishment of military posts at suitable points , to protect American emigrants proceeding to the disputed territory . He adds—It will afford the . greatest pleasure to witness a happy and . favourable termination to the existing negociations upon terms compatible with the public honour ; and the best efforts of the Government will continue to be directed to this end .

      CLAIMS ON THE _BBITI 8 H GOVEBNHENT . It would have given me the highest gratification in this my last annual communication to Congress to have been able to announce to you the complete and entire settlement and adjustment of other matters in difference between the United States and the Government of her Britannic . Ma jesty , which were adverted to in a previous message , --It is so obviously the interest of . both countries , in respect tbthe large an _^ _-. taluablecoinnierce which exists between them , that all causes of complaint , however inconsiderable , should be with the greatest promptitude removed , that it

      must be regarded as cause of regret that any unnecessary delays should be permitted to intervene . It is true that , in a pecuniary point of view , the matters . alluded to are altogether insignificant in amount when compared with the ample resources of that great nation ; but they , nevertheless , ' more particularly that limited class which arise under , seizures and- detentions of American .. ships on the coast of _AfriXa _jiUpp _^ _Jhennistaken supposition , indulged _iirat the . time the . _jj _^ png was _/ committed ,: of * their being engaged in . _thesjavglfrade , deeply affect ' the sensibilities ot this _Goverrimentwjd _people ; ¦ " r :

      • - "; . _^ _'j-POEfiiflN TREATIES . - ' »; v The 'Pre _^ idei _& _thefrgoes on to state ' "the result of negociations with ; ptfierinations : — ' ' •<¦ I informed the two houses of Congress , " _intoy message of December last , that instructions had _been-given to Mr . Wheaton _. Jour Minister at Derlin , to negociate a treaty with the Germanic States , composing the Zollrerein _, if it could be done—stipulating , as far as , it was practicable to accomplish it , for it-reduction of the heavy and onerous duties levied on our tobacco and other leading articles of agricultural " production ; and yielding in return , on outpart , a reduction of duties on such articles , the production of their industry , as should not come into competition , or but a limited one , with articles , the product of our manufacturing industry .

      ihe President adds that , owing to untoward circumstances , this treaty , had failed , but the United _States'Minister at Berlin had received instructions to re-open the negociation , which , it ; was hoped , would result in ultimate success . 'Belgium had assimilated her flag to that of the United States , for purposes of direct trade . Negociations ' were pending with other states .

      MEXICO AND TEXAS . The President proceeds to a consideration of the unsatisfactory state of affairs existing between Mexico and Texas . He . says—Mexico has threatened to renew the war , and has either made , or purposes to make , formidable preparations for invading Texas . She has issued decrees and proclamations preparatory to the commencement of hostilities , full of threats revolting to humanity ; and which , if carried into effect , would arouse the attention of all Christendom . This new demonstration of feeling , there

      is too much reason to believe , has been produced in consequence of the negociation of the late treaty of annexation with Texas . After stating that a strong representation was made from the United States to Mexico , he proceeds to argue against the practice and policy of the proceedings of the Mexicans , to show that the Texians had only done what was natural and inevitable , for which the Mexicans were rasldy bent on provoking a contest , the consequences of which must be fearful . He then comes to the annexation treaty : —

      _; Upon , the ratification of the treaty , the executive was prepared ' to treat with her on the most liberal basis . Hence the boundaries of Texas were left undefined by the treaty . The executive proposed to settle these upon terms that all the world should have pronounced just and reasonable . No negociation- upon that point could have been undertaken between the United States of Mexico , in advance of the ratification of the treaty . Mexico threatened war with the states if the treaty were ratified ; but by that threat they were not to be influenced , nor was it required . The President adds , his opinion was , that if the treaty had . been , ratified by the senate , it would have been followed by a prompt settlement , to the entire satisfaction of Mexico , of every matter in difference between the two countries . The treaty was not ratified ; but , said he , a controlling majority of the people , and a large _inajoritv of the states _.

      have declared in favour of immediate annexation . Instructions have thus come up to both branches of congress from their respective constituents in tenns the most emphatic . It is the will of both the people and the states , that TexaB _Bhall be annexed to the Union promptly and immediately . It may be hoped , in carrying into execution the public will , tnuB declared , all collateral issues may be avoided . The Texians , be proceeded , were still desirous of throwing themselves under the protection of the states , and no complaint could be apprehended from . any other quarter . It was a question for their decision whether she should be received or not , the forms of annexation having been already resolved upon between the two governments . The decree of Mexico in relation to retail trade , and the order for the expulsion of foreigners , were in violation of the treaty of amity ; and these questions remained unadjusted _.

      THE TISAHCIS . The President next congratulates the nation on the improved condition of the _treasury ;—The paralysis which had fallen on trade and commerce , and which subjected the Government to the necessity of resorting to loans , and the issue of treasury notes to a large amount , has passed away ; and , after tho payment of upwards of 7 , , 000 dollars on account of the interest , and in redemption of more than 5 , 000 , 000 dollars of the public debt , which falls due on the 1 st of January next , and setting apart upward of 2 , 000 , 000 dollars for the payment of outstanding treasury notes , and meeting an instalment of the debts of the corporate cities of the district of Columbia , an estimated _suii > lus of upwards of 7 , 000 , 000 dollars , over and above the existing appropriations , will remain in the treasury at the close of tha fiscal year .

      BANKINO Ann TAXATION . It must also be a matter of unraingled gratification that , under the existing financial system—resting upon the act of 1780 , and the resolution of 1816—tho currency of the country has attained a state of perfect _souudness ; and the rates of exchange between different parts of the Union , which , in 1841 , denoted , by their enormous amount , the great depreciation , and in fact _worthlessiicss cf the currency in most of the states , are now redueed to little more than the mere expense of transporting specie from place to place , and the risk incident to the operation . In a new country like that of the United States—where so many inducements are held out for speculation—the _depositors of the surplus revenue , consisting of banks of any description , when it reaches any considerable amount , requires the closest vigilance on the part of the

      Government . All banking institutions , _undsr -whatever denomination they may pass , are governed by an almost exclusive regard to the interest of the stockholders . That interest consists in the augmentation of profits in the form of dividends , and a large surplus revenue intrusted to their custody is but too apt to lead to excessive loans and to extravagantly large issues of paper . As a necessary consequence , prices are nominally increased , and the speculative mania everywhere seizes upon the public mind . A fictitious state of prosperity for a season exist ? , and , in the language of the day , money bocoiuoi plenty . Contracts are entered into by individuals , resting upon tlds unsubstantial state of things , but tho delusion soon passes away , and the country is overrun with an indebtedness so weighty as to overwhelm many , and to visit every department of industry with great und ruinous _trobiuTiuament . The _grc .- ' . rest vigilance becomes neceeiary on the part of _Govirnmont to guard against this

      state of things . The dr .-jsitaries must be given distinctly to understand that : ; : e favours of the Government will be altogether withdrav . n , or substantially diminished , if its revenues shall be _reuarded as additions to their banking capital , or as the foundation of an enlarged circulation . The Government , tbroujrh its revenue , has at all times an important part to perform iu connexion with the currency ; and it greatly depends upon its vigilance and care whether the country be involved in _embarrasftments similar to those which it has had recently to encounter , or , aided by the action of the treasury , shall be preserved in a sound and healthy condition . The dangers to be guarded against are greatly augmented by foelarge a surplus of revenue . When that surplus greatly exceeds in amount what shall be required by a wise and prudent forecast to meet unforeseen contingencies , the _lfrgislaure itself may come to be seized with a disposition to

      ->. * , T1 " S Section Includes The Unfo...

      indulge in extravagant appropriations to objects , many of which may , and most probably would be , found to conflict with the constitution . A fancied expediency is elevated above constitutional authority ; anda reckless and wasteful extravagance but too certainly follows . The important power of taxation , which , when exercised in its most restricted form , is a burden on labour and production , is resorted to , _unfler various pretexts , for purposes having no _^ affinity to the motives which dictated its grant , and the extravagance of Governments stimulates individual extravagance , until the spirit of a wild aud ill-regulated speculation involves one an , l all in its unfortunate results . In view of such fatal consequences , it may be laid down as an axiom , founded on moral and political truth , that no greater taxes should be imposed than are necessary for an

      economical administration of the government ; and that whatever exists beyond should be reduced or modified , This doctrine docs in no way conflict with the exercise of a sound discrimina tion in the selection of the articles to be taxed , which a due regard to the public weal would at all times suggest to the legislative mind . It leaves the range of selection undefined ; and such selection should always be _' rnade with an eye to the great interests of the country . Composed as ' is ' the Union of separate and independent states , a " patriotic legislature will not fail , in consulting the ihterestsVofNthe parts ; to adopt such course as will be best calculated to advance the harmony of the ¦ whole ; aud thus insure that permanency of the policy of the Government without- which all" efforts' to" advance

      the public prosperity are vain and fruitless . This great and vitally important task rests with Congress , and the . Executive can do no ; . more than recommend the general principles _^ vhich should govern in its execution _, i'fhe .

' , The following is th ' p concluding paragraph of ' _thie Message : —

We give the following extract from the Govej _^ _or-Gcncral's speech : — Many subjects in whichcijfe welfare of the province is deeply involved will . be . _entiiljgl to your earnest . consideration . None can be more _imiffjhuut than the improvement of the education ofrthe people , which is onenf the most urgent duties of the State ; Had I anxiously hope ; that iu addition to such other amendments of existing laws on this momentous question ' _as may be required in either section of the province , your wisdom may be able to devise some arrangement respecting the University of King's College , that may receive the sanction of the Crown , and give general satisfaction in the colony . The municipal institutions of the province , the provisions for which have , in Lower Canada , proved , to a great extent , nugatory ,

      mil , no doubt , engage your attention , as well as the state of the prisons . and the want of lunatic asylums . The melioration of " the me «« s '' = ef 5 _veomSrtoica _^ on _'Sn _bTiBhout the province , oil which its prosperity mainly depends , for production is unavailing if means do not exist of reaching a market , also deserves consideration . The eastern townships of lower Canada are peculiarly destitute in this particular ; and the town of Kingston , in Upper Canada , which has unavoidably suffered much by the removal of the seat of Government , is devoid of a road through the inland territory , towards the Ottawa , which is essential for the prosperity of that , neighbourhood . Notwithstanding the unavoidable expense attendant on the removal of the scat of Government from Kingston to Montreal , and other claims to -be submitted for your consideration , a considerable surplus revenue will remain , affording the means of making some provision towards the liquidation of the public debt .

      ¦ < INDIA AND CHINA . By extraordinary express , despatches have been received from China of the 31 st of October , and from Calcutta to the 16 th November inclusive . There is no news from _C'luna . Tho intelligence from India is not very important . The _Kolaporc insurrection has been put down , but it proved of a more serious nature titan was anticipated . The murder of Captain Alcock , of the 46 th N . I ., on his way to Nccmuch , has created a great sensation . ( From the Bengal Iluriaru , November 16 , 18-14 . J

      Alio past month has not been prolific in events of a very stirring character . The insurrection in the Kolaporc country , which proved to be of a more serious character than we supposed when last we wrote , has been put down , and the disturbed districts seem to be tolerably quiet . In this Presidency nothing of a very important character has occurred . The Governor-General is still at the Presidency , and rumour is silent on the subject of tiny intended move from the seat of Government . He appears to be quietly perfecting himself in the business of his administration ; and such indications as have yet been manifested seem to point to a tranquil and pacific government , pregnant with good to the people of the soil . There is no talk of a war in the Punjab ,

      or any other immediate employment of our troops . Even the civil war , which many anticipated , in that long-agitated country , seems to be no longer imminent . There was a deal of vapouring between the two chiefs , Hceni and Golab Singh , But , as we surmised , they were not in earnest , and nothing came of all their menaces . They have now come to a pacific understanding , and matters will speedily be settled , though , probably , only to be disturbed again . In the meantime , Sawun Mull , the Governor of Moultan , one of the most able and energetic , and at the same time the most moderate and respectable of the Seikh chiefs , has been gathered to ids fathers . He was shot by a malefactor , whilst sitting on the judgment seat , and after lingering for a few days

      died of his wound . He has been succeeded by his son , Mool _lltij . Tho intelligence from Afghanistan is , as usual , not very clear and reliable ; but it would seem that the dangers which Dost Mahomed apprehended from the designs of the Usbegs and Tartars have blown over ; that the successes of the Hindoo _Kooeh have rolled back the tide of invasion , and that tbe intrigues of Bokhara have been defeated . From the latter place Dr . Wolff has emerged in safety—but of this , in all _probability , intelligence will have been received in England before the arrival of tbe present despatch . Within the Presidency two domestic events have occasioned _Ronio interest of a painful character . One of these is tho suicide of the Rajah of Berhampote _, who having committed , through his instruments , some acts of cruelty on tho person of a dependent , wliieh occasioned , in the sequel , the poor man's death .

      came down to Calcutta , where intelligence of the tragic issue reached him , coupled with the information that a warrant was out for his arrest . Dreading tbe indignity of falling into the hands of- the myrmidons of the police , the wretched man blew out his brains . He had previously made a will , leaving the hulk of his large property ' to be _devoted to the establishment and support of a university , The coroner ' s jury brought in a verdict of Fdo de k . The other event is the murder , by Dacoits , of Captain Alcock , ot the Quartermaster-General ' s department , who was intercepted on a journey , by a band of notorious dacoits , of whom the police were in pursuit , and being taken for Mr . Unwin , the magistrate , was dragged from his palanquin , and cut to pieces . Several of the wretches concerned in this murderous deed have been apprehended . Such events are of rare occurrence , and the present one hag , therefore , created a very great sensation .

      ARRIVAL OF THE OVERLAND MAIL . Ltodon , _Fhidat _Moiimxo , _Janoahy 3 . —We have received the Overland Mail from Bombay , and are enabled to publish the _following intelligence . The dates are , Bombay , _Jjec . 2 nd ; Calcutta , Nov . 23 rd ; China , Oct . mh . ' _Bohday , Dec . 1 . —The intelligence of this month is , in the main , unimportant ; the chief interest attaches to the affairs of Southern Mahratta country , which still continues much disturbed . The second of the two principal forts , for some time besieged , has

      Coxvictiox 0f,,A Murneuer.—New Yc-Kk, Db...

      fallen to our hands by surrender , but jrhc country continues full of troops . Colonel Ovans , the newlyappointed resident , has fallen into the enemy ' s hands , and i 9 kept bv thciu a prisoner . An insurrection has broken out in the Sawunt Warree country ; and in the two together an army of nearly 8000 men is occupied in quelling disturbance . Everything continues tranquil in Scinde . The health of the troops in the lower country is good . At Shikarpore and Sukkur sickness prevails to a very alarming extent . Her Majesty ' s _TStli Regiment , with the exception of about 100 men , is wholly in hospital ; out of about 1000 cavalry and native infantry at Shikarpore , between 700 and 800 are in hospital . The Punjaub chiefs have become reconciled to each other , and comparative tranquillity reigns in the

      country of the rive Rivers , there seem to be some slight " discontents in Gwalior , but not such as to occasion . alarm . Peace and prosperity prevail throughout India at large . Sir Henry " Hardingo has continued since his arrival constantly at Calcutta , _andseenisto have been gaining golden opinions of all sorts of people , His administration promises to be a plain , practical , and peaceful one . The state of education amongst tho natives was the first thing to receive his attention , and seems to occupy a most prominent place in his mind . The encouragement of science , and the promotion of domestic improvement—the improvement of

      agriculture—the opening ol fresh roads , and the construction of bridges , have all received more or less attention . Tho most peace-loving suffer from no fears ; the most war-loving entertain . no ; hopes jof conquest or _invasion _' . u nd _^ the ! _agm _^^^^ twelvemonth of such management ' will get rid " of the excess of expenditure over income , lately amounting to about a million and a half sterling . News from China extends to the 10 th of October , but it is entirely commercial , and notjmportunt .

'' Sihcb'then tho remainder of the Government party have reached the

      city , and we are happy to find that their reports of the country beyond Kivoli Bay are most satisfactory , there being now no doubt as to the existence ' of > great _extent-pf good land in that recently-examined portion of the ' _province .

' ' The _\ lesert and-inhospitable region that stretches inland from the sand-hills of the Coorohg begins to improve gradually as the Coorong ceases , and a chain of salt . ' agoons and swamps stretches ' along parallel to the coast .

      A grassy _ehe-oakcountry , with banksianara , aliording good feed , occurs inland from Lacepede and Guichcn Bays . The appearance of Rivoli Bay is described as pleasing , and likely to afford a good anchorage for small vessels . Two whalers from Van Dieman ' s Land had already piloted _^ theinselveslinto _^ _jie _^ b _^ _panj were awaiting the ' ehance of _^ stfceess'th ' _ereT inieitding to remain during the season . A reef extends across the mouth of the bay , and a rocky island shelters it from the N . W ., The governor and party visited the island and reefs , and found the former covered with innumerable penguins , whilst the latter afforded the rather formidable sport of a sea lion hunt . One of those huge animals , eight foot in length , was shot through the head by his Excellency , and afterwards knocked down by clubs and quickly despatched . Tho

      skin , we understand , is intended as an addition to the national collection in the British Museum , together with a variety of rare birds , « fec _, which are tho result of his Eioelloney _' s indofatigable zeal in adding new discoveries to the ficldsof science . From Rivoli Bay , which was made a temporary depot for the drays andmen , the party _. attendcd by the police , proceeded on horseback to Mount Schank and Mount Gambier , a distance of eighty miles . Beyond the Bluff Kaye , south of Mount Muirhead , and thence to the Mount Gambier country , an extensive and beautiful tract of land was found , distinguished both by its richness of soil , and the abundance of excellent grass it affords . At the foot of those ranges water occurs in tea-tree

      swamps , and m one instance a clear running stream gushes up from beneath the limestone , rock . But the finest land was yet to come . The rich volcanic region about the extinct craters of Mounts Gambier and Schank afforded an agreeable surprise to the travellers , who describe it as superior to the best of the Mount Barker land , and verdant to excess . The timber is principally huge black wood and mahogany gum . Water is contained in hollows or old craters of vast depth , andis remarkably pure and limpid . Kangaroo of the largest species were seen in flocks of eight or ten together . The climate of Mount Gambier is considerably cooler than that of any other portion of the colony , and wc doubt not but that shortly it will become a nourishing and well-settled district . "

Destruction of Dolgyx-jlill by Fire . —Letters have been received , announcing the complete destruction of _Dolgyn-hall , the scat of Sir L . II . Lewis , situate near tbe town of Dolgelly , in Wales . From the particulars received , it appears the fire broke out in the early part of Friday afternoon ( yesterday week ); but it seems that the

      inmates were tearful of an accident some hours previously , the interior being filled with smoke . Before assistance could be obtained the whole of the roof was in a blaze , and the flames were burning downwards to the apartments beneath . Shortly afterwards the destructive element forced its way through the ceiling of the drawing-room , as well as into the other apartments on that floor , and within an hour the entire edifice was in flames . Nothing now remains hut the bare blackened walls . All the floors have fallen into the basement _.

These reports are calculated to do much harm , inasmuch as parties at a distance , who have been in the habit of sending their aid , believing these statements to be

      true , have naturally ceased sending the supplies . To prevent these evil consequences the following statement of facts may be necessary : —Thirteen unpr incipled fellows , who turned out from Messrs . Pauling and Go ' s ., have , in a dastardly manner , gone to work for them again ; and in order to make _tkenisclve appear as wliite as possible , have stated that the firm bad agreed to work by the Manchester rules . The fact is , one honest man went with them , and was present at the interview , and afterwards reported it to the body , to the effect that they had stated that the men who had gone in might work by the Manchester rules , but that the men previously at work

      might continue to work by the firm ' s rules . We leave the reader to judge if such an agreement could be accepted by honourable mon . An aggregate meet * ing of the Trades has been held , at which it was resolved , "That the strike did not now rest in tho hands of the Joiners and Carpenters , but in the bands of the Building Trades of Manchester ; and they would not work for that firm until they agreed to the Manchester rules , and discharged die knobsticks . " Parties who have been misled by the press , will now see that the strike stands as it did , and that there is no truth in the statement that it has been , brought to a close .
