The steamship Ea tna, from New Yurk;had arrived at Liverpool. Gator Beira's—The proceedings of the . Parliament, on the 20th, were unimportant. I In the House of Commune, on the 20th, Mr. Baxter opposed the expenditure for fur -1 1M:4.60ne in the colonies, except at great na val stations. Sir G. C. Semis thought the defences of the colonies was partly a colonial, and partly a military question. At the - present moment, there were two great nations, which bad shb ject to their rule as large a portion of the globe on they could govern, viz: Great Britain and the United Slates. America had adopted the principle of centralization. England took a different course. It was assumed that England received great benefit from her colo nies, and if that was theca.) she was bojnd to protect them. He thought it impossible to dawn any general rule, and urged tho House to be very cautious after further debate. Baxter withdrew his proposition. The Loudon Times, in another editorial on Mr. Lincoln's emancipation message, says it can hardly be looked upon as - soy thing more than an invitation to discuss the subject in Congrese. It is clear that if slavery is to cease even in the Border States, tho change mast be accomplised by other ..means than those at which he points, which means, it is certain, are totally inapplicable to the whole The Time, learns that the proposed utuphia of compromise will be difficult of aecoae , nor does it believe that it will shako the resolu tion of the Senate. As a proposition, how ever' cessation of may possibly lead to the of the frightful conflict. The Times thinks it worthy of discussion. The President truly says that the expenses of the war would buy up the slaves in any given State. If this has any it is, that the money now devoted to keeping up the armies of the North, might be more advanta geously devoted to the extinction of slavery in those regions which are inconteetibly in its power. If they are content to keep the slave States which have not seceded and to try the plan of emancipation and compensation on them, they may, if really in earnest, after a time, accomplish a great work, but with the expenditure of two millions a day, and with nothing hut shinplasters for money, the plan of attacking the war-crying slave owners by compromise, must follow the fate of other at tempts at compromise. The Daily News think, the proposition fair, moderate and magnanimous. It says the scheme at least affords a good basis for a comprehensive, prao ticablo and amicable debate. Only the pub lic, by whom it has to be discussed, is scarcely capable of the order needed for real delibera tion and decision, Liverpool, March 22.—The cotton market closed firm. and buoyant to-day, Saturday.
