The cholera still continues in Lnndnn and in the
provinces. The number of deaths in London from
all diseases, however, had not increased: cholera
cases 31. per week average. -
Business affairs WO been quiet, but steady and
more encouraging than for some time past. The
cotton market has been more buoyant, tad sales to a,
pretty large extent hate been etlbcted at improving'
prices. The corn trade has again become Anil, and
holders desirous of realising before the clotielof the
year, have been indueed to accept
the
prices. A
good business has been done in the produce markets,
and better prices are i paid, both consumers and ex
porters having_evinced considerable anxiety to get
tato stock. We may further observe that, on the
part of merchants morefirmness is visible, a nd only
a moderate amount of produce has been pressed up
on the attention of buyers. The iron trade has
participated in the general improvement, end the
prices of both pig andimanufactured are advancing.
Prom the cotton and Woollen districts of Lancashire
and Yorkshire there

better reports. Manufac
turers look forward good spring trade, and mak

is steady. Cash is abundant, and can be; had on
easy terms, but the demand is limited. The pub

to the chamber in ti firm voice, and with better stic-1

he professed a eptrit of conciliation; praised Gen.
Cavaignac for his moderation and generosity of
character. andldeclared his aim to be, to establish a
just and firm goveinment, without being either re
actionary or utopian. I
- .When the new president concluded his speech, lie
proceeded t down the centre of the chamber; and ad
vancing towards Gen. Cavaignac tendered to him
his hand. This movement surprised Ctivaignac,
but delighted the 'chamber. After the pause of an

shook hands cordially with the president, amidst
marks of the most unequivocal satisfaction from all

Theinterest !still felt fur the position pf the pope
continues predominant. His holiness still remsies
at Gaeta, from which point all kinds of intrigues
and negotiations have sprung up, conferring a greet
celebrity ' on this almost unknown spot. The pro
visional government at Rome, sanctioned by the
vote of the upper chamber, has endeavOred by ev
ery means in its power to induce the pope to return
to the holy city. This he refuses, except on condi
tion of disolvihg the chambers, disbanding the na
tional guard, end suppressing the journals, which,
amongst other conditions, only show that his hob
titre has no real intention to return presentto the
Quirinal. We have no doubt that the pope has ap
pealed to all the the European powers td aid him in
this his state of persecution; but no official 'confir
mation of the fact has, up to this moment, roused all
'4ld/tandem le his favor, as centuries ago would
have been the' case.
The congress for the settlement of the affairs of
Italy is aboutto meet at Brussels. DC Caroni, the
commissary-general of the papal army,i has arrived

and in a short time the feeling of Rtissia, which
power has always interfered boldly in Italian affairs,
will be knows, so that the final dispoSition of the
pope's persons as Well as his ultimate &filmy can
not be long delayed.
The relations of Naples and Sicily remain almost

popular outbreak, which we long beforp anticipated;
at Turin the king seems to have laid aside his war

civil strife. ' The Imperialists, however, have taken
Oedenburg, Tyrnau, and Presburg, the Magyars re

will immediately invest Pesth, and crush Kossuth
end his followers.
On the other hand, it must be remembered that
the Hungarians puraue that system of defence best
adapted to their country, and totheir want of resour

pediments, at this season, in the marr,ii of their en

resolved to go on to that city and join him there.—
Previous to her leaving here, however she was
very unexpectedly waited'upon by this very accom

who very ingeniously attempted to abduct her)ittle
daughter from,the mother, and*carry her to Boston,
leaving the mother behind. This scheme failed, and
the *gout returned to the east without effecting

A few 'days after, Mrs. K and child left this city

became weary of watching and went home; the in

due time, and procured lodgings at' a respectable
boarding house, little dreaming then of the snare
they ;had escaped.
As early as possible, the husband was apprized of
the arrival of his family: he promised to call fur them
immediately; instead of which he dispatched a dote
and a carriage, with his hopeful female co djutor,
to induce his wife to ride out and see a largal build •

Peabody then called upon thei landlady; and endeav

who kept' the boarding house, being incredulous
upon this point, that scheme was thwarted.. More
decisive 'measures wore then decided upon. -

the plan was to take her from him and carry her to

from the lips of whigs, "good and true," upon its publi
cation here. Some, we understand, even went so far as
to proiire, an indignation meeting: but- that, "like the
courage of Bob Acrei, soon oozed out of their finger ends
after consulting Elaine of the cooler heads of the party.--
Gray hairs, nor old heeds. however, could not restrain
the tongues of many from expressing their contempt for
the man and his message. There is nothing whig about
it. they say, except his talk en the tariff, and (hit,' they
very correctly declare, ho had nothing to do with. We
have heard of some who went so far as to afirm their
belief' t'utt the bank portion was the (production of the
late lamented Gov. Shenk. Others sneeringly say ho
must have, by some hocus pocus operation, possessed
himself of a suit of the fate Governor's cast off garments,
and while dressed in ( these worn out' habiliments of a
Democrat, penned this message to the Legislature; And
here is where the shoo pinches. Tho Governor profes
ses in his message to entertain views in regard to bank
ing too stringent for the whigs oLErie, He does not
come up to their ideas of an "ultra whig," and recent
mend the creation of a host of irresponsible rag mills.—
Neither does he say to the Legislature; gentlemen, the
state is suffering for the'vrant of a general banking law
and the ectonei you pass onli the better. Had he done
this the hats of Erie whigery would have flew higher in
the air titan they did last fall when the telegraph an
nounced his election. , Of course they take it for granted
that the '-Governor is sincere in his views on banking;
while we, on the contrary, are inclined to doubt it; bat
whether ho is or not, ho has trod very heavily and
carolesaly on the tees of our whig frieuds here. And
why, for the life of us we- cannot see, for there is Molt
ing plainer on the political chefs hoard than that his Ex
cellency is only leaking one way publicly, while privately
he is rowing the other. The whole message proves thin,.
and we advise these whmtekore to swear no more, and
those whose thoughts were too big for utteranco,buf exhib
ited their weight by elongating the virges of their posse's- -
sore, to wind up their organ of hope, for we can assure
them the Governor is a trump card yet, and a great deal
more likely to prove the right bower to their favorite
measures than "old Zack" himself. To convince them'
that we ere right in this particular they have but to re
flect that this tneseage they curse so bitterly has the un
mistakeable whig ear mark of being a tissue of contra
diCtions front beginning to end. Thus, while he travels
°ill of the line of his duty, and forgets that ho is addres
