POKE toy NEWS. I BY THE AMERICA. EMH.AND —Since the sailing of the previous j steamer. Parliament has done little more than ; vote the supplies and transact other business of j a local and uninteresting character. In addition to the Eird Lieutenancy of Ire land, it is stated that the government have it \ in conteropl turn to abolish the Irish courts of i law, and transfer the whole machinery for : government to London. Both measures are violently opposed by the Irish press. Agricultural operations, both in England I and Ireland, are being carried on tins year on ■ ti must extensive scale. The repeal agitatienhas been partially rp- ! newed in Ireland, under the auspices of John 1 O'Connel, but there is a lack of' its former spirit. The trade in the woollen districts has sensi bly improved of late. Frightful Shipwrecks. —The English const was visited by a severe hurricane on the 30th ot March, causing much destruction of pro- j perty and a frightful loss of life. Amongst other vessels lost, was the John K. Skiddy, i which wa3 driven ashore on the const ol Wex tord, and totally wrecked Capt. Shipley, the j passengers and crew, were saved. The How- ! ard, from New Orleans, was also wrecked at the entrance of the Mersey. The steamer Adelaide, from Dublin to Lon don was lost near the moutfi~of the Thames, and every soul on board, numbering 200, was 1 drowned. The coast everywhere is strewn with por tions of corpses that have fallen a prey to the elements. Smith O'Brien and his Companions.—Ad vices from Hobart's Town, Van Dieman's land, have been received, announcing the ar lival there of Smith O'Brien, and his associates in the Irish rebellion of 1849. The felons were granted tickets of leave on condition of their engaging that their liberty should not be used as a means to effect their escape. All except O'Brien, accepted the boon. He has been sent, under surveilance, to Maria Island. FRANCE. —At Patis, although there is in creased excitement and greater bitterness be tween conflicting parties, the only marked events of the fortnight have been: First—The revolt of one of the regiments, which the gov ernment has not succeeded in quelling. {Sec ond—A popular demonstration, in a small way against Louis Napoleon as he passed through the streets. Perhaps the most significant event in the Legislative Assembly was the proposition by M. de La Rochejaquelin, a friend of the Pres ident's, to the effect that cn the first Sunday in June, the nation should be called upon to pro nounce definitely on the form of government which it should choose to select —that every elector should be called upon to inscribe on his ballot, monarchy or republic —that if a repub lic should acquire the majority, it should be proclaimed in the Chamber by the President of the Republic; and if the monarchy obtained the majority, it should be proclaimed by the President of the Assembly. This remarkable proposal was received in solemn silence by the majority, and by derisive sneers from the Moun tain; but at length the proposal was negatived, jt having fallen to the ground in consequence of not being seconded, and the previous ques tion was immediately voted unanimously. The members of the Mountain received the announcement with a cry ol " Viva la Repub lique." It is said that the President of the Republic is so mnch in debt, that nothing but the possession of the imperial crown can ex tricate him, and that he is at present engaged in negotiations with Russia for the purpose of possessing that, to him, now necessary protec tion. The government arc perseveringly em ployed in intioducing their measure* of coer cion, in which Ihe majority of the Assembly support them. GREECE Advices from Athens are to the 19th of March, but they furnish only a confirm ation of previous reports. Eleven of the cap tured vessels had been given up by Sir William Parker. A courier arrived with despatches from Ixmdon on the 18th. ROME. —A tecent number of the Roman Observer says that the return of the Pope to Rome has been definitely fixed for the 6th inet. The speedy return of his Holiness appears to give genera] satisfaction. Advices from Lisbon state that Com. Martin was concentrating his squadron at the 'I lgris in anticipation of a hostile visit from the Amer ican naval forces to enforce a settlement of the long standing claim of the American govern ment. TUSCANY. —The Tuscan government hae re fused to accede to Lord Palmerston's demand of indemnity for losses sustained by their sub jects at Leghorn la6t year. The difficulty has been submitted to the arbitration of the Sardin ian government. RUSSIA. —An imperious note has been ad dressed by the Russian government to that of Prussia, on the subject of the Sehleswig Hol fetein dispute. After enumerating all the points at issue the note says there are so many tacts which the Emperor cannot regard with indifference, and from which he cannot in con science release the Prussian Cabinet from. The note concludes by distinctly intimating the determination of the Emperor to empioy decisive measures, if neceasaty, in support of the Danish side of the controversy. PRUSSIA. —A serious ruplHre has occurred between the Governments of Prussia and Wur ternberg in consequence of the tone assumed by the King of the Utter country in opening the chambers. The Prussian Ambassador lias been recalled. GERMANY. — Berlin, it is said, is to be sur rounded with fortified barracks, which have al ready been commenced near one of the gates of the city. The German parliament assembled at Erfurt on the 20th of March. It is said that negotiations hove been opened by the Central Power of Germany, with the Lnkted States, for the purchase of American vessels of war, completely equipped for service. SPAIN. —The report from Madrid of a speedy reconciliation between the English and Span ish Governments is confirmed. The Stale ot Cuba causes the greatest fioli citude to be felt on the part of the Spanish government. TURKEY. —Recent advices from Constantino ple state that the preparations were being made to conduct Kossuth and the other Hungarian refugees to Kutahia, in Asia Miner, where 'hey are to bo confined, it is said, five years. A telegraph despatch of the29th of March i/trn Trieste, states that the insurrection in Jbornoa, is extending its range, and is increas ing m strength. About 2,(KM) Turkish troops ere'defeated by the insurgents, and compel let. io evacuate the fortress of Bajalaka. SWEDES.— -letters from Stockholm announce that by general order, the Swedish navy is to oe put on a war footing. The object of the measure if not known. There were six deaths from cholera in •m< iujiati for i}e yyr-fk ending the I/ih That will do it! I rer Trade in Kngland is giving so much prospentv to manufacturers in that country, that something must be clone for our own manu facturers, to enable them to maintain their po sition. Y\ ewc uld suggest the same thing which nae acccomplished so much for the manufac tures ol England."— Journal of Commerce. Precisely so ! Give our manufacturers an abundance of skilled labor at 15 to 45 cents per day, and they can do without Protection. It is that, mainly, which ena bles their British rivals to undersell them. And the Journal has always been favora ble to the mode of cherishing American Manufacturers here indicated—by screw ing down the wages of Labor. It has ever been a consistent advocate of the Low M ages policy. It goes on to say : " It must be remembered that not the United States only, but the world is the market to be competed for. If we cannot make goods as cheaply as England, or about as cheap, she will underbid us in foreign markets. We ought not to be satisfied with merely the home market." M ell, let her " underbid us in foreign markets," as long as her laborers are com pelled to work lor an average of twenty live cents per day, while wc, " satisfied with merely the home markets," secure to our own workmen an average of one dol lar per day. Give us adequate Protection to secure our Home Market, nnd we will wrest plenty, comfort and competence out of our own soil, although we never sell a hale of goods abroad. Last year we bought over three limes as much British Calico as we did under the tariff of 'l2, and got in debt to Europe (by sending Storks abroad and selling them) to the ex tent of many millions of dollars. In other words, wc kept our own would-be Iron workers and Cloth makers unwilling ly idle and run in debt to Europe for the fabrics they ought to have produced, be cause the Foreign were cheap ! If that is true economy, then we are grossly igno rant of its A B C's.— X. J'. Tribune. CINCINNATI, April 23. The steamer Belle of the West, (laptain James, was burned one mile below War saw, Kentucky, at 1 o'clock this morning. She was bound from this city to St. Louis, with California Emigrants. She was im mediately run ashore near Warsaw, made fast, and the stage plank run out. L'p to this moment, the llames had not burst forth. The after hatch was then raised, for the purpose of letting water into the hold, but such was the pressure of the llames that all efforts to quell them were entirely fruit less, and in a few moments ihe whole boat was wrapped in flames. The total number of passengers on board is estimated at 100—among whom were two companies of California emi grants, and about twenty families removing West. From flic register it is ascertained that over sixty have perished, and the probability is that many have been lost whose names are not enrolled. Such was the progress of the fire that before the passengers could get out of their state rooms, after the first alarm of fire, all communication between the after cabin and forward part of the boat was cut off, and either all were compelled to jump overboard, or perish in the llames. The scene is described as heart-rending. At the time of the deck in, a lady and gentleman, with a child in his arms, who were standing between the chimnies, were precipitated into the flames. A large number of horses on hoard were either burnt to death, or so badly in jured, that they had to he killed to put them out of their misery. NAVAL EXECUTION. — It LS said that as the U. S. sloop of war Germantown was recently passing out of the harbor at St. Thomas, a man was run up tr the yard arm. It will be remembered that a sori- 1 ous mutiny occurred on board this vessel while lying in Hampton Roads, just pre-, vious to her sailing on her present cruise. > The actors in that mutiny were thought to have been too leniently dealt with. These facts taken in connection with the j circumstances mentioned above, arc pain fully suggestive of an opinion that on this, as on another memorable occasion, a sum mary execution has been deemed necessa ry.—Jioston Journal. A magnificent steamer, the St. Louis, left that city on the 12th instant on her first trip to New Orleans, with a cargo of fifteen hundred tons of produce. She is said to be the largest steamer of the West cm waters, her entire length on deck being 317 feet, iler cabin is 268 feet long, fit ted and furnished with everything that can conduce to the comfort of passengers. A j nursery and servants' apartment, baths with hot and cold water, and various other appliances are provided. HOSPITAL FOR CATS AND DOCS.—Ken dall, in one of his late letters from Paris, : says there is a large house in the city, fitted up for the reception of cats, dogs, birds, <fec., when attacked by disease, and where they are nursed and physicked ac cording to rule. They have a class of practitioners who confine themselves exclu sively to the cure of these animals, and fortunes are made in the way of business, by members of the profession. PASTE THAT IS PASTE. —Dissolve an ounce of alum in a quart of warm water ; when cold, add as much flour as will make it the consistence of cream ; then strew in to it as much powdered rosin as will stand on a shilling, and two or three cloves ; boil it to a consistence, stirring all the time. It will keep for twelve months, and when dry may he softened with water. Charles Gearhart, who is charged with robbing the mail at Danville, and who was recently arrested in Ohio, escaped from the Marshal of Western Pennsylvania on the 12th inst., at Howardville, Centre county, but was afterwards retaken.

Of the causes j which induced him to take this strange step we have not been advised. lie cer , tainly owes an explanation to the commu ! nity and to his friends in regard to it. — Lancaster Tribune. 'flic Jury at Pittsburgh, in the puddler | and boiler case, found Patrick McDermott, James Bratt, Ann McDermott, Eliza Mor gan, Margaret Graham, and Catharine ! Reeves, guilty. Each of the men were sentenced to eighteen months imprison ment and costs of prosecution. Each of the women to pay a fine of SSO, and un j dergo thirty days imprisonment in the ; common jail. MAJ. JOHN CI MMINGS of Union county has been appointed Cargo Inspector at Columbia. Mr. Baldwin, who some time ago mur dered his own brother-in-law, at St. Bonis, , and was acquitted upon trial, on the plea ; of insanity, has since murdered his father. MINRSOTA. —As this newly organized territory is but imperfectly known to many of our read ers, a few particulars of its leading features will doubtles prove acceptable. Miresota is about four times the extent of Ohio, and reach es 675 miles from S. E. to N. W., and lies be tween IV. lat. 42 d'eg. 30 min. and 49 deg. The centre of the territory is about 1200 miles in a direct line from either ocean, 1000 from the Gulf of Mexico, and 800 from Hudson's Hay. It is chiefly a rolling country, well watered with riv ers and lakes, and the highest hill does not ex ceed 2000 feet above the sea, and 1000 feet above the surrounding country. The Capital, fit. Paul, is 15 miles by water and nine miles by land, below the Falls of St. Anthony, and the river is navigable to the Falls for steamers of considerable burthen. St. Paul contains about 1200 inhabitants, and several large hotels, and the new town of St. Anthony at the Falls, about 990. There is also a town named Stillwater, on the St. Croix River, 18 miles from St. Paul, with 900 people, hotels and saw mills. The Marine Mills, Point Douglass, Mendota or St. Peter's, and the Falls of St. Croix, arc flourish ing villages. Day laborers obtain S2O a month, ar.d mechanics $1,75 to $2 per day. The public lands may be taken up at $1.25 per acre. The total number of Indians is 27,000, and there is a strong military post at Fort Snelling, on the Mississippi. The whole number of white in habitants in the territory is about 5000. The distance from New Fork to St. Paul, by Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago and Galena, is 1537 miies—by the Ohio and Mississippi, St. Louis, &c. 2229 miies. The land of Minesota is very produc tive. One hundred and seventy miies of the Norlhem boundary, is along the shore of Lake Superior.—.Vcirorfc .frlcoeale. MARRIED. On the 19th February, by Rev. J. P.
