, morning, and herncwa wns transmitted from
t thenoe to this place, by special express. The

the roads are -aiill very heavy, it made a

Under more favorable advices from India,
and the existing lull in the excitement of
continental politics, trade in almost every de
. nartment is becimuns to assume a more
. cheerful aspect.
There is still an uneasy feeling respecting
the threatened hostilities in the North of Eu
rope, but since the abrupt and decisive de
termination of the conflict between Sardinian
nnd An.iria: the comnlete prostration and
. abdication of Charles Albert, one of the most
serious obstacles to a satisfactory adjustment
of continental difficulties, seems to havebeeu
overcome, and could the Danish quarrel be
. disposed of, which, unfortunately, there is
no present prospector; nothing material
could stand in the way of permanent prosper-

they closed for money, and we have the latest
London and Liverpool papers, but do not ob
serve the least allusion to American Stocks.
Money though still abundant, has slightly
increased in value. The lowest Bank rate
is still 3 per cent, but with private Banks the
best bills are done at about 21 per cent.
The Bank of England returns show that the
bullion in the vaults is about 15,300.000, so
that any drain which may arise fiom the U
S. a connection witlT the present inequality
e.L- 7-l Ml 1 . .
of the Exchanges will be met, without the
least difficulty and fears of renewing the
scenes of 1847.
The weekly accounts of the Bank of France
show a progressive improvement of the trade
of Paris.
The French funds, since the total defeat
ot manes Albert, have been quoted 5 per
cent, at 8Uf. 80c.
The importations of breadstuff's into Groat
Britain continue upon a gigantic scale, and
the same may be said of all kinds of provi
sions.
No change can bo noticed in the
trade, although a rather firmer feeling was
manifested during tho last few days previous
to the sailing of the Eurnpa. There is an
improved feeling.

a Conciliatory arrangement, had returned to
Naples on the 28lh, efforts having been alto-

The admirals had sent a steamer to make

was one unanimous cry of war from tho
whole population. The parliament at Paler

condescend to enter into any further necrotia-
tions, but that on Thursday, tho 28th, at noon
hostilities should be recommenced.

Important from India Another Battle
Advices from Bombay to the 4th of March
state that another battle had been fought near
Guzerat, between the British and Sikh forces,
in wnica ine tatter were deleated, but tho
details had not beon received. From the
cinto tne un ot eD., various skirmishes
.. . - . . . .
iook place, but without any serious encounter.
On the 12th, the Sikhs retreated toward the
Chenab, which they were prevented from
crossing by the Bombay division, under Gene
ral Whish. On the following day, the British
divisions, having effected a junction, Lord
w,,su aucceeuea in bringing the enemy to a
battle in the open field, near the city of Guz
zerat, in which the Sikhs were completely
routed, leaving a great portion of their guns
ami ammunition, as well as their standing
camp, in the possesion of their conquerors.
Austria and Italy.
The most important intelligence is from
Italy. At the sailing of the Niagara, it will
be remembered that war was impending iu
the north of Italy, and it was anticipated
that either the Autriaua or Piedmontese
would immediately cross the Ticino bounda
ry. In a brief fortnight Charles Albert has
fought and been conquered, and is now an
abdicated King and has taken refuge in either
Madrid or Lisbon.
The Austrians passed the Ticino simulta
neously with lbs Piedmontese, who- rapidly
felfbaek'and three successive battles ensued.
In the latter en the plains of Vercelli, the
Instiians'were completely victorious. The

ed Charles Albert, near Moraro. The Pied
montcse appeared to have been of more than
equal foio. , , J
4The battle wns fought with terrible obsti
nacy J although we hear from many quarter
that the Italians shrunk from the contest, it
is said that Charles Albert behaved with the
most distinguished bra;ery, but finding the
day was going against him, he seems to have
sought every opportunity to meet his death
iu the battle-field; and whatever may be
the verdict of history as his past conduct,
certain it is that nothing has advanced his
public life so much as this last act.
The Austrians having completely routed
l!,n Piuilmnntriifl and driven them to the
mountains, Charles Albert abdicated the
throne in favor of his son Victor Emnnual,
and a flag of truce being sent to the Austrian
tent, Marshal Radetzky at once acceded to
an atmistice. The new king pledges him
selfiu conclude a treaty of peace, to disband
ten military companies of Hungarians, Poles
and Lombards. The Austrian, who hold
Turin, opened to them magnanimously, for
bore to take advantages which might have
provoked the susceptibility of France.
Affairs ill England.
Parliament adjourned for the Easter re
cess, and met acain on the 16th. Tho two
main objects which bave divided its attention

have been the navigation bill, and the rate

Schleswlz Holsteln and Denmark War Inertia.

Advices from Hamburgh, 31st inst., state
that there is no chance now of the differences
between Schleswig Holstcin and Denmark
being amicubly settled, and no doubt hostili
iip will commence to-day or to-morrow.
Troops, principally Prussians, are passing con
tinually to the scat of war. The port of Keil
is blockaded. There docs not appear to be
tho least hope that Denmak will yield the
Duchips; and as Russia will, unquestionably,
sl,pnort her pretensions, it is to be hoprd that
,j,e Germans will be wise enough to yield

solicitation of the Austrians, brings down a
large force to crush the Hungarians. At

Th. Elrctlon for the Emperor of Germany.
The Frankfort parliament has finally elec
, d ,he Kj of prussja Emperor of Germany
1 r y
and the powerful deputation has proceeded
to Berlin to tender the crown of Chailemugne.
At first no one believed that the king would
be so mad as to accept the proiTerred honor,
but now it is believed that he will with cer
tain conditions, so as to avoid giving offence
to the other potentates of Germany. Should
he do so, it is generally believed that it will
most certainly involve Prussia in a war with
Austria and Russia.
The French Republic.
With some exceptional disturbances in tho
distant provinces, France continues tranquil,
and Louis Napoleon is proceeding in the
surest path to maintain his position, by in-
stantly suppressing domestic disorder, and
by steadily avoiding interference, by arms,
in the affairs of the coterminous nations.
Notwithstanding the excitement attempted
to be created by the red republicans, upon
the question of Piedmont, Louis Napoleon
and his ministry set their faces against an
armed intervention for the purpose of pre
venting that which nobody contemplated
the dismemberment of Sardinia ; so that men
of all parties in England consider that a great
step has been made towards the pacification
of the South of Europe, as the examplary
moderation of Austria givesa further guaran-
ty that hostilities will not be resumed upon
the questions of the Lombard provinces.

LOW SALARIES.
It is no uncommon error to believe that
every change is reform, and that to buy at
a low rate necessarily constitutes economy
In accordance with this mistaken view of
things, many radical and escentially impor
tant changes are yearly proposed, not only
in our constitution and laws, but in religion
and every thing else. The appetite lor
novelty is strong among mankind, but like
all the other appetites, must be kept
under guard, and its indulgence is extremely
injurious. It is of the highest importance
to consider calmly, before making any al
teration in our laws, whether the proposed
chancre will be for the better. Among all
the cries of reform, none is more undeser
vedly popular than "the reduction of th
salaries ot public officers." Retrenchment
onrl pmnomv are very proper ; but econo
my and parsimony are very different. Th
former is the frugal mi judicious expendi
ture of money ; the latter, an improper sa
ving of expense. From this definition it
will readily be perceived that paying a
high salary to command the services of a
good officer is the very beauty of economy.
It is necessary for us to have the best men
that can be procured, not only at the head
of government, but in every inferior sta
tion. These can only be obtained by ma
kinc the emoluments commensurate with
O
the value of their services. A man of tal
ents, experience and honesty can always
find a field for the exercise of those quali
ties. They are always in demand, and like
all other things which are rare, can only
be had at a high price. If government has
need of these talents and does not offer a
higher reward for them than they will
command elsewhere, of course she cannot
expect to procure them. She drives them
away to other employments where they
can be better paid. Take for example the
Judges of our Supreme Court. Not one of
them receives a salary equivalent to the
labor performed. They labor incessantly
for ten months in the year, and every one
ol them could by the same labor at the Bar,
realise double the amount of his salary.
Then, too, the President Judges of the
Courts below receive a miserable pittance
when compared with their labor. Their
salaries are so low that there are many men
of the finest abilities who would not accept
a judgeship, coupled though it be with hon
or. A government, when she refuses to
purchase the services of her officers at a
high price, is parsimonious, not economi
cal. Low salaries will, to be sure, always
induce plenty of applicants, but not such
as are, in half the cases, fit for the duties.
Talent is capital, and will invariably be
drawn into those channels where its exer
cise is most productive. They are false
economists who are ever calling for reduc
tion of the salaries of our officers. They
would have men who are capable, driven
from situations where their services are
not well paid for, and leave the exercise of
the highest and most important duties of
government to those whose inferiority can
command no better situation elsewhere.
Thus the administration ofbad officers would
in the end cost more than to have secured
good ones; besides the irrepairable mis
takes which will always be made by the
i incompetent. The best men are absolutely
necessary for offices and they can only be
procured by high salaries. It is true econ
omy to purchase the best, at any price. That
which we must have, we must pay for, and
what is necessary, is cheap, cost what it
may. The true interest of the country is
to have the brightest talent and integrity
in its service. Let ber secure this at any
cost; for it will be more beneficial in the
end. It is not the most popular doctrine
that is the truest. Economy is the blarney
stone of those who would be politicians.
Many persons can only be aroused by an
appeal to their pockets, and it is to take
advantage of these, that the cry for reduc
tion of the salaries ol public servants is
raised. Trust not to their doctrine. Re
member the cheapest coat is that which
does us the most service, and that officer
who discharges his duties with ability and
integrity cannot be too well paid.
NEW MILITIA LAW.
The last Legislature, amid all the waste
of time, trifling and mischief, have done
one thing which entitles them to the grati
tude f the people. The old Militia law
hat been repealed ; those exhibitions of
cornstocks and umbrellas, shameful burles
ques on military display, known to us so
long under the name of Battalion trainings,
have been abolished, and we hope, forever.
Every one will rejoice that this venerable
relic of barbarism has been erased from our
statute book. . Would it were as easily ob
literated from our memories ! Below we
give a hasty outline of the bill. It is a very
good one, and will relieve the State at once
from an enormous expense, and disgrace.
It is mads lha duty of every able-bodied
citizen between the ages of 18 and 45, to
provide himself with a proper uniform for a
volunteer company, and persons so uniformed
shall form themselves of no less than 80,
rank and file, electing their own officers, IfC.
Where there are three or more companies in
any brigade, they shall be formed into bat
talions and regiments, and elect such field
officers as are allowed to the same force in
the regular army ; but in case there are not
three companies in any brigude, then the
company or companies shall elect a Brigadier
General, Brigade Inspector, and Major Geu
eral. The uniformed companies shall meet
for training and discipline twice in each
year, and each battalion and regiment for
training and inspection, not less than once.
The commanding officer of each company,
shall furnish a copy of his roll to the County
Commissioners, at such times as the assess
ment of taxes are returned, designating the
residence of each member, the assessor also,
to furnish a list of all male persons' residing
in tho township, between the ages of 21 and properly which the said debtor may elect to ly approaching, when the people will becal

who are not uniformed and enrolled, shall be

King out their duplicates lor tne collection oi
Mate taxes, shall add fitly cents to the amount
of tax of each delinquent, to be collected
with the same, an account of all such re
ceipts to be kept, and the same to torm a
military fund. In case the delinquent can
not be found or is exempt, an oath shall be
made to that effect by the collector, and the
Commissioners shall give him a credit order
which shall be his voucher in the settle
ment of his account. The County Treasurer,
after the settlement of the military account,
and the payment of the expenses of collec
tions, tc., is required to pay to each compa
ny of not less than thirty, f 50, and to each
company of not less than fifty, $75, for the
purpose of keeping open armory, &c. It is
also made the duty of the County Treasurer
to pay to the brigade inspector, any reasona
ble expenses incurred by him, but such ex
penses shall not exceed in anyone year S 150
In case the amount of the military fund col
lected be insufficient to pay the balance to
each company, the Slate Treasurer shall pay
to me county 1 reasurer ol such County, a
sufficient sum to make up the deficit, such
amount to be taken out of the military fund
