After lamenting the death of lh late
Queen Downjjer, ami stating in the usual
terms that we are at peaeo with all foreign
powers.
It says on the sttbj-cl of the Turko Rt:s
sian question what follows in the course of
the Austrian war, differences of a serious
character arose between Austria and Russia
on the one hand, and tho Sublime Porta on
the other, in regard to tho treatment of the
considerable number of persons who, after
the termination of the civil war in Hungary,
had taken refuse in the Turkish territory,
explanations which took placo between the
Turkish and Imperial Porte have fortunately
removed any danger to the peace of Europe
which have arison out of the differences.
Her majesty havinc been appealed to on this
occasion by the sultan, united her efl'oits to
those of the government of France, to which
similar appeal had been made, in order to
assist, by the employment of her pood ofii.
ces, in effecting an amicablo settlement of
those difficulties in a manner consistent with
the dignity and independence of the Porte.
Tho reyal speech then rocs on to state
fhat the governments of America and Swc.
Jon hid evinced their desire to co-operate
with Great Britain on the subject of the re
peal ol ths navigation laws, and after allud
ing to some local topics, it then gives a death
blow to the advocates of monopoly of the ar
ticles of food as follows:
"Hor majesty has great satisfaction in con
gtatulating you on llv3 improved condition of
commerce and manufactures. It is with ro
tjret that her majesty has observed the com
plaints which, in many parts of tho kingdom,
have proceeded from the owners and occu
piers of land. Iler.majesiy generally la
ments that any portion of her subjects should
bo suffering distress, but it is a source of sin
cere gratification to her majesty to witness
the increased enjoyment of tho comforts and
necessaries of life which cheapness and plen
ty have bestowed upon a great body of her
people and country."
The chief measures recommended from
lha throne are in referenco to Ireland, and
relate to the improvement of the Tarty Pro
vision Act and the laws regulating tho rcla
tion between landlord and tenant.
'In conclusion, her majesty hopes und be
lieves that by combining liberty with order
by pres?rviug what is valuable and amend
ing what is defective, the legislature jvill
ustain the public institutions as the abode
. and the shelter of a free and happy people."
The ministers have not yet avowed the
line of policy they niran to pursue in regard
to the North American colonies, but it is
pretty well understood that should those colo
nies desire either to become independent
stales, or to annex themselves to the United
Stales of America, that no opposition will bo
offered by Great Britain to their so doing.
This feeling is grounded upon the fact that
fhcn colonies were self-supporting ones.
Out of the most astonnding projects of the
go, throwing tho American prospectus for a
submarine telegraph from New York to the
Isle of Wight, into the shade, has just been
announced in London the formation of a
railway from Calais to Mooltan, in the midst
of India, distance 3,803 miles, cost 36,000,

heart-rending. Cultivation seems stagnant)

Serious Disturbances in Paris.
On and since Monday, Paris has been in a
s'.attf of siege in consequence of a serips of
disturbances created by the mob of Rue St.
Martin anil St. Antoinc. Tho police authori
ties catne to cut down certain of the trees of
liberty, planted duiing.the revolution. Fiom
fuels which, by tho way, are rather conflict
ing, it would appear that when the order for
the ilcsirnction of these last emblems of the
liberty cf the French people were i.'sued,
large crowds gathered around and decorated
them with varioussymbols of liberty, and
that the police acting under order from the
Executive, procoedaj to cut them down.
The police were resisted on Monday fore
noon, and drawing back, were dispersed by
thu people ; but a strong body of military ad
vancing at this moment, the mob was put to
flight, with the loss of several wounded,
while the troops were hardly molested.
Gen. Lamoriuieira was hooted at in all di
rections by lha mob, but no other offence

the three graceful poplars that threw their
grateful shade over our boyhood sports, was
carried away, and already the undermining
current wash eTt fie soil from the roots' of its
companions. . Only last year the old ches
nut tree, that ancient landmark of .he Bo
rough, yielded to the torrent that sapped its
foundation, and now lies prostrate upon the
ground it so long sheltered. We are pained
to see these old friends rapidly departing.
They are hallowed to us by many dear asso
ciations. How often have we played in
childhood beneath its shade, gathered the
brown nuts from its bursting burrs, and
bathed in the limpid stream beneath it! The
long row of forests trees, too, which graced
the bank as far up as Fort Augusta, have
one after another hein carried away by the
floods, and the soil that yielded them nour
ishment has been washed away by the same
irresistahle force, until nought remains to
mark the spot upon which they grew.
It is shameful that his work of destruc
tion should be suffered to go on year after
year, and no effort be made to stay its pro
gress. The Shamokin dam, erected by the
Commonwealth, is the cause of the evil, and
the legislature ought, . by every principle
of justice and honor, to afford us protection.
Private property, too, suffers; for before
another year the road along the rivermust
be re-located. It is now scarcely wHjle
enough for the passage of vehicles. Some
thing must be done immediately. Our com
fort and safety requires it. The whole
bank from the dam to the bridge should be
rip-rapped, or some other method devised
to secure it. The legislature ought to be
memorialized, on the subject, now.
disinio.
The present session of Congress has been
probably, the most unprofitable and disor
derly that ever occupied our Capitol. From
the first moment it met until now, some of
its members have used the most strenuous
efforts to prevent any thing like legislation,
and by their outrageous conduct' and trea
sonable sentiments, have not only poluted
the sacred place they fill, but brought dis
credit and disgrace, as well upon the Re
public as the districts they represent. They
have done all they can do, to lower the
American people in the eyes of the rest of
the world. Our citizens blush with shame
at proceedings in that once honorable body,
that the Red Republicans of France would
disown.
Our Union is too firmly established, too
deeply rooted in the patriotism of the peo
ple, to be shaken by the feeble breath of dis
organising demagogues. However loudly
they may bluster, and fiercely hurl about
bloodshed and civil war, there is no real
danger. The people have too long enjoyed
the blessings of union and harmony, to ruin
their prosperity by following the lead of
fanatics into disunion and discord. The
Hotspurs of North and South themselves,
have not the most remote idea of dissolving
the Union. And least of all would the
South be willing to take a step that must
involve her utter destruction. The slaves
are more than three to one of the whites,
and the secession of the South from us,
would be the signal for the blacks to rise and
massacre their masters. It is only through
fear of the whites in the North that the
slaves are kept in subjection, and were that
removed by a disolution of the ties that bind
us to protect our brethren of the South, con
sequences more frightful and blasting than
the world ever witnessed would ensue.
The whole of our slave country would be
the scene outrage, bloodshed and desolation.
The tragedy of the French West Indies
would be re-acted there. Nothing could
save them from utter annihiliation.
But in spite of the menaces daily hurled
forth by the representatives of Southern
chivalry, there is no danger of dissolution-
Their speeches are idle vaporing and will
end as they began, in nothing. They do
not utter the sentiments of their constitu.
ents. The Southern press is filled with
denunciations ol the course of these hot-
brained madmen. The people of the South
areas devotedly attached to the Union as
we are. They will not consent to, much
less advocate, ils dissolution. - There are
still men enough in our halls at Washington
upon who wisdom and patriotism the peo
ple can depend to shield them from the
fearful ruin, in which the, present course
of affairs threatens to envolve the county.
It is a crisis like the present which will
show to the world the firmness of the tie
that binds our Union. " The spirit of com
promise, which has a! ways actuated our cit
izens when antagonistic sectional interests
threatened to disturb our harmony, is now
ready to spread its healing wings over the
wound. That spirit which guided ours rulers
ever since we became a nation, will not de
sert us now. Governed by its influence,
we need never fear that our glorious pro
gress shall be stayed by the blasting effects
of disunion.
We give the subjoined extract from pa
pers published in the South, to show the
feelings of the people in that quarter : ,
"If the slavery question were settled this
very day, the Hotspurs of Sooth Carolina
would ingeniously discover tome other source
of grievance, over which they would work
themselves frantic, and be ready again with
their menaoes of disunion.-- They are eter.
nal grumblers, and for the last twenty years
ve have never known them otherwise '
"The heady and factious spirits who prate
so glibly of disunion' might profitably ponder
over the prespeeQ' in the event of the realisa
tion of their anticipations. They might find
ft less agreeable when conned by sober rea
son, than w hen viewed through the fallacious
coloring of a' heated imagination' ','For oai
own part, we do not believe in the possibility
of disnnion ; but, if wo did, t we should look
to the future as an epoch prcgiant with evils
more dire than war, pestilence and famine.'
; . , N.O. Bee. ,
The Gcorgid TFAt'g reasons thus, forcibly:
The south never would have consented for
the north to interfere in the domestic regula
tions of California, had they (the Califor
nians) seen fit to tolerate slavery by their
constitution; and now, since they have seen
fit to exclude it, the same principle ought to
quiet all objections from the south. If one
portion of the states has no right to interfere,
neither has the other; and, r.s we would not
yield the right to the north, we should net
claim it ourselves.' , ""
The Forsyth (Ga ) Bee, o( the 5th inst. says
that a call for a public disunion meeting
there had proved a "humiliating failure !''
"No interest was manifested by anyone, and
the whole affair went by default."
Than North Carolina there is no more
loyal state in the union. One of her organs,
the Hillsborough Register, says:
Disunion is no remedy for any evil, present
or prospective, real or imaginary.' Our motto
then is: "The Union, the Constitution and the
Laws." Under this banner we trust we shall
ever be able to maintain our rights; while it
floats over us our liberties will never be in
danger. 'The Union must be preserved."

respecting the Nicatagua question. A friend

England nor the United Slates shall exercise
sovereignity or jurisdiction within the Central
American States, ft agrees that Greylown
(late San Juan de Nicaragua) shall be a na
tral or free port, as well as another port on
the Pacifio at the western terminus of the
route. It also provides that the canal shall
be neutral and open for the investments as
well as the transit trade ef all Nations under
suitable regulation.

prove satisfactory to tho people of both coun
