AS RIVAL OF THE WASHINGTON.
LATER FROM CtROPK.
THE PEACE CONGRESS.
Jsw Yoni, April 13. The steamer Wash,
ifgton, from Bremen and Southampton,
'arrived at 7 o'clock this morning, with Lot),
don dates to tht morning of the 25th tit.,
and Liverpool to the 21st.
The steamer America had not arrived oot
when the Weshington sailed.
The protocol of peace had not been s.gnoa
ot the latest dates, and the Conference was
less harmonious, owing to difficulties raised
by Prussia. Peace was, however, substan
tially certain.
The British Government Lai despatched
two steam frigate in aenrch of tbo Pacific,
of which no tidings bad reached England.
The Copenhagen correspondent of the
London Times states that the Janish Com
missary bad snbmitted to the Copenhagen
Conference the proposal for the capitalisation
of the Sound Dues, fixing the sum of 35,
000,000 ris dollars ns the ininumnm of tho
indemnity which Denmark claimed. The
writer states further, that tbo United Status
haviug declined taking nny port in tho Con
ference, the question would, in all probability,
bo resolvod without their co-operation
Mr. Buchanan designed leaving youtbarop
tou on the 7th tf April, in tho steamer
Arago, for Nuw York
Mr. Buchanan had gone to Paris, accom
panied by Mr. Campbell, the American
Consul at London, and Mr. Croskcy, the
American Consul at Southampton. He de
signed to vibit the Hague before starting on
his return to the United States.
According fo tho London Times the cause
of the difficulties' in the Paris Conference
was a demand pwt forth by the Prussian
Plenipotentiaries to be admitted to sign the
treaty on tho same footing and in the same
character as if Prussia had been a party to
the alliance throughout. It is euid that
Russia supports the Prussian pretensions.
This took place at the meeting on the 22d
of March. Another meeting was held on
the 21th, but nothing has transpired of what
took tdace. Tho otiiuion that tho Peace
Conference would ultimately resolve itself
into nn European Congress is strongly
believed.
The London Times Crimean correBpon
dence says that tho war party still cherish
hopes that the negotiations will break down.
It may suit the French to moke concessions,
but it'ongbt not to suit os. They doubtless
consider they have done enough for the
honor and glory of Frar.ce, and to revenge
the reverses of 1812; moreover they connot
afford a war as England can. Their army,
however numerous on paper, is dwindling
sadly from tho scurvy and fever, which are
playing sad havoc iu its ranks. The mortal-1
ity'ia stated to bo 120 per day, and frequent- I
ly more.
The Allies had commenced tho demolition !
of the enclosure and lines aruuud Sebasto
tol. tSTILL LATER BY THE CAMBRIA.
TIamfax, April 14. Tho Royal Mail
eleaitibVip Cnnihriu, from Liverpool on the
29th ult., arrived hero at six o'clock this
morning, frfhe sailed again at ten o'clock for
Boston, where she will probably arrive in
season for her mail to go forward in Wed
nesday morning's train.
There is no uews of the missing steamship
Pacific.
The Peace Congress met again on Thurs
day, the 27tb, all the members being prcseut.
The deliberations were said to have been
important. Tho treaty of peace it was con
fidently believed, would bo signed on Batur
day, tbo 29th of March the day tho Cambria
sailed.
Tho Paris correspondent of the London
News, says the Court tradesmen have been
ordered to prepare illuminations for Satur
day evening definitely. Other papers say
Sunday j others one day next week, but all
agree that it will be early. Previous Intel,
licence from Paris had stated that the Diplo
matic difficulty was on the point of being
settled.
The ccrrwpotidflnt of the London Times
litre t'aat Lord Clarendon's motion prevailed,
v? that an arrangement was come to, that
tlio Allies shall sigu one protocol and that a
second shall be drawn up which Prussia and
Ite Allies shall sign jointly. The committee
if v.ni engaged in the reduction of both
prctoco'.s. ''The otily delay, supposing no
ii cedent to occur, can be in tho proper fru
nj:: of those protocols.
The London Times, iu an editorial, speaks
of "cur allies" as onwise and undignified in
their demonstrations in faror of Pence, and
conceives that tho people of Great Britain
will bo discontented with tue terms or pcuce
the only result to England being her vic
tories, and the consciousness of undiminished
resources.
Tho armistice is not formally prolonged,
hut telegraphic instructions have been sent
cot to renew hostilities without ciprcss
triors.
The advices from tho Crimea ore to tho
13th ult. The health of the French army
was much improved. Several conflagrations
had occurred at Kuputoria. Ten thousand
English troops were at Baluklava.
There is uo excitement whatever with re
gard to tho difficulties witb America. Inter
est iu tho subject is almost extinct, although
tho paper.) coniiune to discuss the subject.
A writer, dating from Paris, over the sig
nature of "States Man," sends an admirable
letter on tbi' subject to the London Times.
Tho newspr.pcrs continue to publikh num.
btrless congratulatory addresses, A review
will be held at Paris of 100,000 men to cel
ebrate the signing of the declaration of
peace. The review, nominally, is a compli.
rient to Count Orloff, the only soldier of the
Plenipotentiaries. Among the rumors prev.
elent are, that the Emperors of Russia and
Atistria have respectively promised to visit
Paris soon after the conclusion of peace.
Six thousand French have emourked at
Marseilles for the Crimea, probably to supply
tick vacancies.
Napoleon has determined to ter.i an ex
tousive expedition to colonize Madagascar,
which England does not approve of.
The Quoeo of Spain has performed the
knnual ceremony of washing the feet of the
poor, bio, also, has the Emperor cf Austria.
Tbsre is nothing reported concerning the
Curliftt troubles.
A flusD niSTiiiAK. One of tho papers
states that Win. 14. Preseott, the American
historian, who reside at Groton. Mass., lost
one eye when at college, by a blow from a
cmst 'thrown by A boy. The sight of the
other was so weakened by sympathy, that be
caunot use it. He accordingly uses tbo ap
paratus invented for the bliud a stylus, with
tracing paper, ami string to guide the band,
lie is thus able to sit nn at night and write
without lighting a candle. Iu this way his
great historical labors lave been perfected.
Tbb War. The Richmond Enquirer thus
lams up tho results of tbo European war ;
To sum op results Sardinia, after exhaust
ing its credit, is dismissed with a reprimand
fur its impertinent interference, the Ottoman
Empire iu Europe is overthrown, and Turkey
has become the prey of its protectors j Great
Britain be be n outwitted in the cabinet,
dishonored in the field, and degraded from its
i'roud position Among the nations of Europe ;
'ranee has monopolised all the material ad
vantage and military glory of the war, and is
Dow indisputably the foremost Power of the
earth: Russia is just what it was before, not
diminished in its resources, nor disparaged
in character, cor curbed iu its ambition, but

years. Declining health has compelled him
to withdraw from his labors temporarily, and
may, perhaps, render his permanent retire
ment necessary. During his ministry, in
1847, the present new church cdifico was
built, but was not completed without consid
erable difficulty and financial embarrassment.
Mr. Fisher has always been popular and
highly esteemed by the members of his

It cannot be worse than the present arrange,

Philadelphia was visitod with ft most disss,
trovs fire on Thursday night. About miJ-
tifght a fire broke ont in the upper part of
the Artisan building, a vast eflUuishmeut
6ve stories In height, forming A hollow sqnnre
in the rear of Chesnut nnd Fourth streets,
ocenpied by various branches of manufacture,
which together with nearly all its contents
was entirely destroyed. Every part of the
building wns tenanted by workshops, with
valuable machinery driven by an eighty-horse
engine in the basement.
Mr. Duval, the well known Lithographer
occupied one floor. Hi loss is estimated at
8100,000, on which he has hut $30,000 insu
rance. He had forty steam presses nnd an
immenso stock of stones, Ac, including the
lithographs of Commodore Perry's Japan
Expedition for the Government, and plates
worth 0,000, all complete and ready to bo
sent c(T.
Tho whole loss ts estimated at $350,000
and may rench $400,000. An old lady, a
Mrs. Chester who occupied the honse nd.
joining tho United States Hotel, died during
the Die from fright. The rear of the United
States Hotel was on fire several times, and
its destruction seemed inevitable. The
boarders fled in con9tcrnntion. Mr. Mac
Lelland, tho Proprietor suffered considerable
damages by water. An iron safe containing
$40,000 woith of Jewelry whs taken out oi
the fire uninjured.

mndo of teaching the alphabet, &c, after
which ho treated the audience to a short lec
ture, on the subject "Home." This selection
was well chosen and appropriate, aud the

audience.
The lectures before tho society have hith

ble coolness to pass around the hat. Alter I
a collection had been made, a travelling com

opinion that we may expect anoiner une

the following reasons i
The early winter was very mild, so mncb
so that the late sown wheat, of which there is
mnch, continued to grow to a much later date
than nsnal. then the snow will have pro
tected it from, injury by the frost. Lastly,
snch uninterrupted cold weather for so long
A period and until so lato a date, augurs t
uninterrupted springtime when it comes, It
is further said that tho number of acres put
under wheat in that part of the eOnntry last
full was jrreatcr than ever before known.
The Chicago Journal savs : "We most
hava large crops next Tall. The snow which

TKArilERS INSTITUTE.
Wo ore happy to learn that a Norma In
stitute, under the charge of Prof. Sweet, of
New xork, is to be held at Money, commen
cing Monday April 21st inst., and continuing
one week.
Those Institutions have so commended
themselves to public favor, that the New
England States, New York, and several other
States have made appropriations to sustain
them, and they are exciting a gouerul inter
est in the eommonwealtb of Pennsplvania.
Though wo havo do state appropriation,
tho liberality of the citizens often renders tbe
expense to teachers merely nominal.
The whole expense to each member of tbt
Muncy Institute is only one dollar, board
beingr.
Teachers of Northumberland, another op
portunity liko this for improvement may not
soon occur. If yon value your own success
as teachers, and tho progress of tbe educa
tional cause, avail yourselves of every oppor
tunity for becoming familiar with the modern
improvements in the urt of teaching.
Go to the Muncy Institute aud uid in ele
vating the profession to whicb you beloug.
