All hopes for the misting mail steamship Pacific have subsided in England, it being believed that the unfortunate Tenet has been crushed in the ice. Letters from Norway announce that the Russians have made good use of the winter in adding to the defences of the White i'ea. The bar to the entrance of Archangel has been rendered Impracticable for vessels of large size, and boots cf a small draught or water would be exposed to a cross-fire from batteries on both shores. The Journal de St. Petersburgh, of the 2d Instant, recording the agreement or the plen ipotentiaries at Paris to tho signature or an armistice, states that, while the latter will not afreet the blockades or the Rutsian coasts, the commanders or tho naval forces or Kng land and France were to receive orders Tor bidding tbcra to attempt any act or hostility agaiust the maritime possessions or Russia. In the House or Commons, on the 10th instant. Sir E. B. Lyttou gave notice thnt. immediately after liuBter, he should call iho attention or the House to the disputes be tween her Mujcstv's government and the governmontjof the United States, with respect to CVntral America. In reference to the Bay Islands, Mr. Gibson said it appeared that certain islands on the coast orOntrul America had been created into a British colony. He wished to know, therefore, from the Colonial Secretary, whether the Queen s warrant hud been issued constituting thnt colony ; and if so, what was the dute of that warrnnt, and whether it would be laid b.-fore Parliament also, what wan the dute or the appointment or the presiding magistrate or the Buy Islands Colony. Mr. l.uhonclicri Said the warrant was issued March 20, 1 852. ond he hud no objection to lay it on the table. The first magistrate wus appointed August 5, in that year, and lliere had been otio or two appointments since one recently. The appointment rested with the Uovertor or Jamaica. The London Times, or the J2lh March, contains a brief abstract or the enlistment correspondence in a letter from its United Slates correspondent, but makes no editorial allusion to the subject. COUNT ORLOFF. The Paris correspondent of the London Times, writing under dute or March 9lh, thus speukesof Count Orloff. Count Orltiff continues to be, I will not say the admire 3 of nil admirers, but certuinly the observed of till observers. The moment he makes, his appearance in a sahtnn lie is sure to be the centre of a numerous group or both sexes, who scan every feature and watch every expression or his countenance. Com manding in his person, he stands without flinching the artillery of the many eyes, many or them brilliant ones, thnt are pointed at him, and so watchful is the curiosity of the beholders that many of the reports one finds floating tho following day mny he traced to inferences hastily formed after such a scru tiny. Tho hero of the moment, whose name wakens associations cf so peculiar a kind, bears himself well through the ordeal. His high forehead, from which tho iron-gray huir is only half pushed aside, but not carelessly ; the regular and marked features, of which Bterness seems to be the most prominent characteristic; the long and thick moustache, and last, not least, tho costly diamonds which compose tho three stars which decorate his left breast, and which might make the Duke of Brnuawick himseKgrow pale, if anything could produce such un effect, ail mat it him out as the object of curiosity. He seldom smiles, or, if he does, bis smiles, tho moment appear, hide themselves in the hair of his upper lip, as if ashamed to be seen at play on a countenance cast in so stern a mould. The Austria American Commercial Com pany. Vienna, March 8. Abont two months since you were informed that the relations between Austria and the United Slates bad not only greutly improved, but that something was passing between them which was kept from tiie knowledge or the public. The mystery is at length cleared op. An Austro American Commercial Company is abont to be formed, and the Mi nisterial Austria explains that the principal aim of the establishment will be to open a direct trade between the United States and Austria "so that there shall no longer be such heavy expenses for agency, warehousing, Arc." It need hardly be said that the Austrian wish to import their cotton, coffee, etc., di rect from America, Instead of getting them second banded from Liverpool or London. Nothiug has yet boon opt nly said of a treaty of com more e between Austria and the Uni ted States, but there is a strong impression on my mind that at no distant period one will be concluded. Can it be that Austria is endeavoring to play off the Uuiled States gainst England ? It is related that wben the Empress is confined there will be further amnesty in Jungary. A person who is on extremely intimate terms with Prince Oortschukoff, this morning related that the Russian diplomatists seems to be convinced he shall at no distant period be Minister for Foreign Affairs. Either Prince Uortschakoff deceives himseir, or Rus si is not seriously inclined to make peace. ITALY. The Pope's Golden Hose for the Empress Eu. genie. A Utter from Rome, of the 5th, in the Debats, says: '-Rumors are current that Cardinal AlOerd will go to Paris to retire, seat the Pope as godfather to the infant cf the Emperor at tho ceremony of the baptism, bnt others think it probuhl thut there will pot bo any special envoy, the Nuncio in Paris executing the mission. On Sunday last, being the fourth Sunday in Lent, the Pope gave his benediction to the (iolden Rose, ut the Sistitie Chapel. It is said that it will be sent to the Empress of tho French. It is a very ancient lite of the Church, that the Pope should, ou the day just mentioned, bless golden rose, which it is ft custom to eud to sovereign, to a celebrated church, or to some eminent personage. J r it be not presented to any one, it receives a second benediction the year following. This pious present was substituted for the gold end sil ver keys, and for the pieces cut with 6 In from the chains which are said to have bound the bands of St. Peter, which were formally sent." ' LATER FROM El ROPE. AERIYAL Or THE CANADA' Halifax, March 28. The Canard steamship Canada, from Liv erpool, with dates to Saturday afternoon, the I5ih inet., arrived this evening, at If o'clock.

Toe advices from Germany sod Ros si bear the aame tone It was generally rumored that the Treaty of Peace would be signed on BaUrdsy. All JU tawvver, bate sot yet been adjusted. Several important disputes re specting the Janubian Frio lipalities and tbe Asiatic irontiers. ere left as undecided as when the first Congress first met. xt is rumored that the rectification of ter ritory, and the adjustment of other unar ranged differences, are to be refrrred to com tn ssioners on the spot, as the topographical details at hand are very incomplete, and the projected frontier is oeiilier marked by stream uor mountain chuin. Sardinia will not be represented in this Commission. The admission of Prussia is said to be spe cially based on the ground that the discussion respecting the treaty or 1341, by which the Dardanelles weie closed to ships t f war, is to be begun forthwith. The Russian and Allied Generals bai met at Trnktir Bridge end exchnnped proposals for nn armistice. The line i f neutral ground limited by the. Tcherwiya bus been truced by the two armies. Outer Push is preparing Intake command or the Turkish army. Selim PhsIiu is to be court marshalled for the full of Kurs. The OttouiHti ministry are occupied with measures for iilli'Viuling the financial crisis. Admiral Nupier has brought, forward, in Parliament, his threatened motion inrjuirinp into the niiiiiuemt'iitof the Baltic fleet while under his command. I In contended that he was sacrificed to cover Sir James Uruham's incapacity. Sir James Grnhnm retorted by saying thnt A dm ml Napier wus physicully unfit for the duties or the commatid, and hImi that his rep utalioTKwas higher tliuu his courave, while his courage wus greater than his skill. Admiral Bi-rkely also at til kid Admiral Napfei. who retorted at some length. Lord Pa!merston, in reply to questions pro pounded in Parliament said, the papers rela ting to the dispute with the United States, respectingCenir.il A mcrico, would bn pre sented soon after the. Kustcr recess, but be could not answer as to those relating to the Enlistment difficulty, as no answer bud been received to the lust (I, sputch.

The subject was one which afforded wide scope for thought and the lecturer did it ampfe justice. The debute was upon the question ' ShonM the sentiment our country right or wrong, be sus tained." It was discussed by Messrs. Hot. verton, Do.NSF.Land Clrxknt. At the next meeting Rev. Mr. Reimon snyder wiZ fectnre. The subject is "Tbe Statesmen our Country neeos." TIIK NEW Lit E1SE LAW. There is an old fable in which tbe moun tain wss in labor and a mouse was brought forth. It has been reserved for a Pennsylva nia Legislature to reverse the story. Thnt body, after a labor of many days, bns brought fnrfn a mnnnt.nin of ininuitv in tin slinnn nf an act to regulate the stile or liquors. Tho prodigy is published in miniature in nnothur column, its extensive length having prevented our artist from taking a portrait in life size. We cannot recommend tbo subject, bnt can vouch for the correctness of the likeness. It seems the object of legislation was to prevent the intemperate use of ardent spirits by restraining their sale. If that were the object, and the wording of the act would not leave that impression on any mind, the bul let has fallen far short or the mark. The way to diminish tho consumption or liquor is not by reducing the number or places at which it is sold. These wise low-makers seem to have forgotten that it is the quantity or liquor dealt out and consumed, and not the number or pluces at which it can be hud, does the mischief. An inch ougnr hole will empty a hogshead faster than half a dozen gimhlet boles. On this principle they have only di minifched the number of taverns and increased tho length of bar rooms. They have only re versed the principle of trading the big dog for two puppies. We ore ut a loss to con ceive what benefit to individual or common wealth the thing is going to produce. It doe. not prevent men from drinking ; it only de. p rives them of a wide range iu the choice of places at which to imbibe. In this respect it U an ubsolute injury, for under our old license laws a man could select a place for taking bis drops at which be knew a pure article was kept. Now, if he chances to need, or thinks lie needs, a drop, be must go to one of the few places licensed by law to deal in slow poison. He can, under tho benefits of ihis act, drink less because lie will be compelled to use stuff that will kill him quicker. It will not avail to reply that there is a law forbid ding the sale or drugged liquors, for it has been in force we beg somebody's pnrdon it has been on tbe statute book since 1705, and there is no record of conviction under it, al though thero is not a district attorney in the state who does not knew the law is daily vio lated. It docs the state no service in the way or revennp, for while it increases tho price or licenses it diminishes tho number granted. The worst feature in the fthole bill is the clause requiring retailers of liquor to give bond to keep the provisions of tbe law. This would not eppenr so outrageous were it not for the fact that any breach or the law is made a misdemeanor, and tbey are subject to crimi. nal prosecution. Every citizen is bound to obey not only this particular, but every other law. Why then are a particular set or men to be placed under bonds to do what is requi red ot every man iu the community, llaa tbe legisluture's opinion or tbe people fallen so low that tbey thiuk a judgment bond is necessary to keep -'a man of good repute'' and "a citizen of the United Slates" iu the path of obedience to law f When have the people of Pennsylvania become so awess that, without any offence charged, they must be bound over to observe tbe faw. What a compliment is tbus paid to their constituents What a commentary is tbeir action upoii the American peope and republican government. There is not kingdom in Europe which places so low an estimate on tbe moral char acter of its people. This provision is a re finement of iusult and degradation fur which the autocracy of Russia furnishes no parallel. Innkeepers are placed opon a level with fel ons and peace breakers. After such an effort Of legislative wisdom and prudence, we would pot be surprised to have them compel all our citizens to be put under boiids to keep tbe peace. i We were fed to hope, from tbe reputation of tbe gentlemen who compose our legisla ture, that some good act should supersede the jug law. T out law was deservedly un popular and was forced on the people in spite of their expressed decision at tbe ballot box. A legislator has no right to think the people are wrong ; or at least to act opon that opin. ion. If it is uecessary to restrain men's appe tites by act of Assembly, let us have it done in a reasonable manner. We doubt if it can be dono by ny such means, but wben tbe trial is made, let us bave our keepers of pub lie houses treated like honest, law abiding citizens tnd not as malefactors. We are dis. ppoictedj in tbe result of tbe long delibera tions of oar legislators. They hav given ns bill of nnosnal length, and without a single redeeming feature. There is nothing in it, from the enacting clause to tbe end of tbe governor's signature worthy of eomraendo tioa.

TUB NEW tlCENSK BILL. The Legislature lias at length settled tbe license question. The bill reportod by tbe Committee of Conference was adopted on Saturday, by both houses.

Restau rants ore to be licensed lo sell domestic wines and malt liquors only, the number of them thus authorized not to be more than one. fonrth the number of taverns.

In some respects this law is not as well guarded as the old license law, which requi red the publication of the name of tbe per sons who signed the petition. There will be a reduction of ten or tfcelve taverns in Nor thumberland county, under the new law. An Important bill is now before the legis lature, which if passed, will enable the Sun- bury and Erie Railroad Company to complete this great enterprise Without delay. This project contemplates the sale or the main line of the public works to the Siitibniy and Erie Railroad company, for the sum of $7,500,000. The legislature last year authorized the sule for that sum, but no one Jwaa willing to pay it. The company are to give bonds bearing six per cent, interest, to the state, the bonds to be secured by a mortgage on the whole road. As the state now pays but 5 percent and would get six, sho would pa n one per cent., or $75,000 per annum, which is to be added to the sinking fond, for the payment or the stute dabt. The company nlso binds itself to expend two dollars for every dollar or the boi ds. which the state surrenders to the company. The state will be amply secured by the mort gage, and the company will bo enubled to raise ample means to put through this great work ut on early day. The Muin Line at present is not worth any thing to the (state not puyiug much more than expenses, and there is but little hopo that it will ever do better under stuto management. The following is a synopsis of the proposed bill for the sule nf the main line of tbe public works. The bill provides : 1st. For a sule of the Main Lino or the Public H'orks, from Philadelphia to Pitts, burgh, including the tux on tonnage pulsing over the Pciinsv Ivunia Ruiliouil to the iS'iiii bury Erie Railroad cuinpuny, for the sum of seven millions live hundred ihousulu! dollius. thu whole uiiiomil lo be secured l,v u tirs-t mortgage to the .Vtute. on the whole line the Kuad ol the said company, extending IVoin i&'unbury tuthu harbor ol Eric, with interest ut the rate of C per cent par annum. 2d. l lit' mill company, or their ussiuiis. ulso to execute siumituiieously u niortcuL'e for $7.500 000 upon tho said line of thu Pub- lie ll'ork to be transferred to Ihem $4, 1)00,000 of tin) bonds secured l-v this kst mol'lK"; ' be held by the .i'tute Treasurer. as udditioiia security for the said purchase money, iiutu ttie same shall Le suuieientlv secured by the progress of thu work of the suid company. 3d. ll'iieii the said company sbal have expended in thu further construction of their work thu sum ot three iiuYioiis bve hundred thousand doais, iu addition to the $4,000. 000 already expended or provided, und shall ulso have raised uliother milion of dolurs by private subscription, (muking thuir whole investment in tbeir said work $8,500,000.) the .S'Uto.

The British ;ovi:k.mknt bus "sequestered" Oude, with its lour iini:ious of inhabitants. It such nn uct of lcmtori.il aggression hud been performed by th United States, there would have been uu uuiveisal outcry against our tilihiiste rism. When the people of the United Stales wunt to enlarge their territory, instead of filibustering, tu in India, they holiest ly pny for it. They gave fifteen inif lloiiis ol dollars for Louisiana, five millions for Florida, about twenty millions for Cali fornia and New Mexico, und ten millions for thu Mei-illu Valley. In addition to this, they gave the inli.ibilanls of the acquired terri tory a free and belter government thun they posse-scd bel'oie the exchange. This is the ditlereiice between A mericuu annexation und British Bequest rut ion. Tun 1'oi.THY or Puvsii:.

The burk Messenger, ut Bostou, brings inlel. ligencu thut the Cuuurd steamer Curlew, from Halifax to Bermuda, run ashore on tlir North breaker, off Itermuda, at 4 o'clock on the morning of thu Itilh lust., and sank in three minutes. The mails wero lost, but the crew were saved. She lies with decks under water and is broken iu two. Assistance bad been sent to her, but the sea rau so high they could not save anything. The Curlew carried about seven hundred tons burthen and belonged to the Cunard line or Halifax, Bermuda and St. Thomas steamers. She was comparitively new, Imv. iugbeen built at Creenock, Scotluud, in 1853, aud cost about $87 000. Dri.soATis The Philadelphia Annual Conference has selected the following gentle men delegates to the Ceueral Conference, which is to meet at Cincinnati in tbe month of May, vis i Rev. J. P. Durbin, Pennel Coombe, Wot. Cooper, J. Cunningham, T, J, Thompson, IP. M'Coombs. Francis Uodgsou, ii. Ii. Crooks aud T. J. Quigley. It is rumored, and generally believed, that Col.

Mr. Editor. : The depravity of the human heart and the deceitfulness of sin are such, that they who make Mammon their Ood, and aspire niter worldly honor, who wish to lord over others, and romain tbe undisturbed mas ters and sovereigns of tbeir own will, bee Jtne cross and it ri table as the crooked Hyena, and as ferocious as the Tiger of Bengal, whenever one of thoir fellow beings chooses to differ from them, and express his sentiments, if those sentiments happen to differ from the views entertained by the former. Such seems to be the case with Mr. J. J. R., who availed himself of tho public Journals (three at least, and how many moro God knows, 1 don't) after de was defeated in rais ing bis salary, to trumpet forth to the four winds of beuven wbut be styles an address to bis fellow citizens, which however might be more properly called a Popish Bull, in which he charges his discomfiture to Whigs and Know Nothings, thus dragging the free school system into politics. Perhaps the most ludicrous part of his Popish bull is the trouble bo takes to set himself right before the people iti reference to the temperance question, which has no more to do with the raising of his salary, or any part af the school system, than the manufacturing of Codfish has to do with the making cf a President cf the United States. . If J. J. R. hud paid as much attention to pulpit elocution as be does to blackguardism, lie might be justly styled a greet man, for in this 1 presume, be has but few equals. He condescends to cull me various hard names, such as mean, low, rotten, falsifier, c, c. And these, if I understand thu gentleman correctly, he culls "peurls" iu his lust commu nication. He also intimates that bo will quit w listing bis "pearls." Now my dear sir if you have any more such "pearls." it strikes liii! you bud better disgorge them as speedily as possible, sincu they ure rather unbecoming in one who professes to be called to break thu bread of life to the flock of Christ, they seem to sour your heart, which appears to be the great "pearl" reservoir, since "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speukf th." The facts in the case ure simply these, he has found himself totally tumble to answer my arguments fairly, so he bus resorted to black giiitrdism with the view or drawing the atten tion of the public away from the question ut issue, uml disconcert me. But in all this he will find himself seriously disappointed, for the public eye is upon bis doings, and 1 shall remain perfectly culm, and keep a straight- of ! forwani course, not earing uny harm except thut which will most assuredly fail back upon himself, lor so far 1 have passed through the fiery furnace which ho bus enceavored to kin dle around me, without so much ns the smell of fire on my garments, and ulter he shall have finished kicking and spurring, I shall do as Iho man did who was kicked by a long eared gentleman, consider the sourcu from whence it came. But to thu facts in the case. Mr. J. J. It. has ull along claimed, and still claims that the tax-payers or Northumberland county are compelled to assist in paying tho superinten dents or Lancaster, Berks, Alleghany, Ches ter counties, Ac, which in my lust article I proved false, by the number or representatives from the several counties, und yet ho is so stupid thnt be cannot understand It. rer haps be will be better able to comprehend it if j producu it in figures. By referring to the Auditor Ocneral's Re port of 1852. wo find thut Luncaster County pays S'JO.931 stuto tax, and Northumberland but 813.89.r. which, when wo ray our super- intent S'JoO, brings the superintendent's sala ry of Luncaster county to t,4J4, and yet be receives but Sl.'iud. Berks county pajs $G8,":'0. while her superintendent receives but $1209. Alleghany county Si.i.000, and her superintendent 1,000. Ac. Now in the face of such facts will J. J. H. still contend that we are compelled to ussist in paying oth er connty superintendents ? If so, every ono wliot'ne8 uot pity liu uicupacity, win uugn outright. Bui us I said in a former article that I would not quiirrul with him, and inasmuch as he bus eaten up his owu words, I will leave a candid public to judge between bim and myself, which is the meaner, lower, and great er falsifier. Now, Mr. l-Milor, I think 1 have folly cstubiisi.ed the position I bave taken in this controversy. Fubt, that it was dishonest iu J. J. It. to usk an increase or salary before the expiration of his term. Secondly, that it was a mutter of great impropriety to drag our school system into politics. Thirdly, that an increae of superintendent's salaries would havo a direct bearing upon tbe tux-payers, und finally, that wu do not assist in paying thu salaries of other superintendents, wben iu fact, others are actually paying part or ours. Now, seeing thut the moro J. J. It. writes, thu more ho prove himself to be an over hearing, ptigsvtnate aristocrat, I therufoie leave him with contempt, still believing that a good Geography school would more bid him than tbu HulU or Congress.
