FOREIGN NEWS. Arrival of llm ESsbcruia.. This anxiously expected arrival has at length taken place, and by the Now York Express of Saturday we have the news broughi by it, which is much more pacific in its complexion than was generally anticipated. The most prominent points are, that the Whigs failed to establish a ministry, and ihat Sir Robert Peel has once more taken the reins, with four new men in his Cabinet. Our space will permit us to make but verv brief extracts from two or three of the principal London journals, by way of exhibiting the mild and unwarlike tone in which they speak of the Message of our mock-heroic Pres ident. The "Times" (Tory) says: "The terms of the Message imply, then, the alterna tive of war, or conclusive negotiation. War is too monstrous to be thought of for a moment, expept after every effort at a compromise has been exhausted. Britain and America must be too sensible of their mutual benefits, mutual de pendance and mutual respect, to peril the sub stantial blessings they now enjoy, and are daily multiplying in the relations of peiice, for lhe bloody and precarious glories of war." The "Chronicle" (Whig) says : ' The issue of all this is clear, and not lhe least obvious fact con nected with it it, that peace with England, is henceforth lhe best policy of America. In spile, therefore, of ibis blustering and belligerent Mes sage, the news which has already reached, and will soon reach, America, will produce such an effect upon lhe poptdar mind, as, evinced by Congressional irtaviion in tegard to Oregon, will ffindera do'ouyienti -wnch-circumstances mighji haaernasdVi ormidajble, as harmless if not as amusing, as a nursery rhyme." The Freuch Chamhers were opened on the 30th ult., with the usual speech from lhe King The speech contained not a solitary word in reference to Mr. Polk's Message. The Jour nal des Debats says of it " Mr. Polk talks a good deal of his moderation, but he shows little enough of it, and his manner is such, .ihat if it were to be adopted in the relations of Govern ments, every dispute between two Stales would be ierminated by war." It is graiifyiug lo see ihat the insane appe tite for war which possesses so many of our citizens, meets with no response from the other side of the water. That England should be averse to war on this Oregon question, although fully prepared to encounter its hazards, will not stain the national reputation for spirit and cour age. None but very weak people will impute the peaceful temper exhibited by John Bull in the present crisis to fear; nor will any very wise people expoct to find a hero in every deep mouthed braggart, who foams and clamors for war with England as though blood-spilling, ha voc, and devastation were the most healthful and innocent of all recreations. This war hob by has been in all ages a favorite stalking horse with your demagogue ; but happily the time is approaching when those who have recourse to the delusion will be exposed to universal con tempt and ridicule, if weak men, and lo detes tation and loathing, if strong ones. Men are becoming wise enough to perceive that the worst possible use they can put their bodies to, is to make them targets for cannon and musket practice. Those who have this lesson to learn, might as well still be groping their way through the dark ages. Behiderc Apollo. j Hon. Andrew Stewart, the talented and inflefaligablo representative in Congress from the XVIIIth district of this State, made on the 9ih ult., 311 excellent speech in review of the doctrines of President Polk and Secretary Wal ker, on the tariff One of those doctrines is that the duly on each article ought to be fixed at that point which will produce the greatest amount of revenue. Commenting upon this doctrine, Mr. S. proceeds as follows : What sort of a rule was this 1 For whom would one suppose it to be made ? For the American manufacturer or the European ? Clearly it was a rale for ihe benefit of lhe for eigner. And could an independent and intel ligent American consent to live under such a rule? The moment lhe American rises to his feel, in this struggle with foreigners for the American market, he is to be knocked down by this Executive poker, and walked over by his Secretary Walker. A laugh. And this was their American System. Mr. S. insisted it was a British system. Ii was just such a system as Sir Robert Peel would have recommended, could he have spoken through President Polk as his trumpet, its practical, its universal oper ation, would be what he had just now described. And would the House endorse a system tike this ? This was lhe far-famed "jrec-trade sys tem," now for ihe first time promulgated by an American fiscal officer. Since the improvements in steam, the cost of transportation was comparatively nothing. Take off the duty, and the British workshops would be brought to our doors. Suppose these British laborers were in Alexandria, working at twenty-five cents, was any man so blind as not to see ihat they must soon break down the work men of Washington, who were receiving 75 cents a day I The employer would soon begin to talk to them in a very intelligible language, " My competitors in Alexandria get labor for twenty-five cents a day, and you must take the same or quit." Now, where was the difference, whether the distance was alittle greater or a little less ? The practical operation of the sys tem would be just the same. And this was the blessed system of free-trade ! The workmen of England and France could work cheaper than ours, and free-lrado doctrine held that we must buy wherever we could buy cheapest. Down went the duty, in came foreign goods, out went American money ; and out and out it went till we had no more money to send, and lhe people and iheir Government became bank- I rupt together. This was the blessing which the compassionate Secretary had in store for ; lhe " noor man !" Oh. how he loved him ! He broughi in ' the poor uu" ten limes in Iwo paragraphs! But his love would be very apt to operate like the love a certain hear once had for a "poor man," when he hugged him to death. A laugh Mr. S. hud seen Mr. Walker's name announ ced for ihe Presidency. Now, an uncharitable observer might perhaps say that Mr. Walker was looking to bo the "poor man's" candidate. If so, he proposed a wise plan, for his syslem would soon make all the people poor, and then he would gb iu by acclamation!' Mucli mer riiiintii -" uf- -t'-'.iif : t . ( . The Secretary's system might not inaptly be termed a plan to manufacture " poor men." Such would be its practical result, and there would be no escaping it. TSie Konster Qsildosie. r.i l i :.. I 1 witn slones about Yankeedom. At last lie mentioned that one of his neighbors owned an immense dairy, and made a million pounds of cheese yearly. This story produced some sen sation, and the Yankee port eiving that his ve racity was in danger of being questioned, ap pealed to a friend, as follows : " True, isn't it, Mr P. I speak of Deacon Brown; vou know Deacon Brown?" " Ye-e-s," replied the friend ; " that, is yes ; 1 know Deacon Brown ; I don't know as I ev er heard precisely how many pounds of butter and cheese he makes a year, but I know that he has twelve saw-mills that go by buttermilk."

' Why, before this Sabbath school began,' said lhe infidel, 'the boys of this village dis- turbed me all day cm the Sabbath. They were out of iheir day school, and while iheir parents were at meeting, many of the boys were in the street, playing, laughing or cursing, making so much noise that I could neither read nor study Sunday was a noisy day. But the boys now get their lessons, go to iheir Sunday schools, and then bring home interesting books, or pa pers io read, so ihat they never think of play. The Sunday school has made it so. The Sab bath is still and quiet. The change is worth ten dollars a year to me, and I will give that sum every year, if you will keep ihe school go ing. Vaccisiatiofii. Dr. Fahnestock, of Bordentown, in an article on lhe Small Pox and Vaccination, comes to the following positions as the result of his ob servation and experience : 1. That vaccination is the best protection from small pox. It modifies the disease and preserves life, although it does not in all cases exempt entirely from an attack of variolus dis ease. 2. That re-vaccination becomes necessary to test the protection of the system. 3. That after re-vaccination an individual may have a reasonable certainty of exemption from an attack of varioloid. 4. That re-vaccination should be resorted to by all persons upon whom it has not been re peated, whenever the small pox assumes an ep idemic form; as the changes constantly taking place in the human system, render an individual liable to infection at one period who may have been exempt at another ; and particularly as that liability is greatly increased by the exis tence of the variolous constitution of the atmos phere, which fans otherwise sporadic cases in to epidemic prevalence. A Prediction. The Marion (Ohio) Eagle of the 31st Dec. says: "A woather wise friend of ours, bids us mark the prediction, that during the month of January, a general thaw will take place, atten ded with higher waters than have been known for years which will be followed by a second winter, of greater severity ; a late, wet spring, and an uncommonly fruitful season.
