calms bad unanimously resolved to refit the British ship Resolute, which had been em 1310‘cd in Arctic discovery, and had been a baut.loned at sea, and after paying the find ers and defraying all expenses, to present th e vessel to the English Government, has t iroduced a very pleasing feeling in this country. The naval officers at Portsmouth, together with the corporation and inhab itants, are preparing to give a warm wel come to the American officers on their arrival. Southampton is making similar preparations. Such an act is most graceful and admirable, and must tend to cement the union of the two nations more strongly than ever. God grant that this union may ever remain inviolate and indissoluble I The RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT has ad dressed to all the Powers a very plausible document, distinguished by all the astute ness of practiced diplomacy, in which it en deavors to show, Ist. That the Isle of Ser pents not being mentioned in the Treaty of Peace, Russia had a right to occupy it. 2d. That Bolgrad being the capital of the Bul garian Colonies of Russia, the Paris Con ference agreed to allow Russia to retain it But the Times makes a withering ex posure of her pleas. Ist. One grand cause of the war was the obstruction of the Salina mouths of the Danube by Russia, and that the possession of the Iple of Ser pents would give her continued command of a river which she professed to abandon, by ceding a district along its banks. 2d. That as Russia says that as the French maps at the Conference were faulty, she is not to blame—that the admission of the faulty map only shows haw she took advan tage of the Allies by pointing to Bolgrad, a mean village, and not to Bolgrad the capital of the Russian Colony, and especially con cealing that the latter abutted on a lake con nected with the Danube,' which thus would be under her absolute control. " Our • argument to Russia," says the Times, " must be, that if she came for good faith, she must practice good faith; that an agreement obtained by 'fraudulent suppres sion of the true, and suggestion of the - false, is no agreement at all, but a mere trick and circumvention; that an agreement im plies the concurrence of two wills on the • same thing, whereas the Bolgrad that she , spoke of was a different place from the Bol grad we spoke of, and different, not by acci tit tit, but by her design and practice. We have already convincingly shown her that we are not to be overpowered by force; we have now to show her, as convincingly, that we will not be overreached by artifice. ' The EAST INDIA EXPEDITION against Persia has sailed. The Times protests against the war. The quarrel will, 1 think, be arranged. The " MEDAL MEN among our sol diers, are a class which arrest your eye not only in London, but in all our gar rison towns. As many as possible of those who fought in the Crimea have been re tained in active service ; and these fine fel lows, who endured hardship with the same fortitude that they encountered the serried array of their foes on the fields of Alma and Inkermann, attract attention as they walk through our streets and parks. But others ure partially or wholly disabled by disease and wounds. Some of these are employed as " dock-laborers " at Portsmouth, and other government harbors, while not a few are seen at the doors, or in the en trance halls of our public offices as por ters, or attendants in plain clothes, but with a Crimean medal, and its three or four clasps, upon their breasts. When last at Portsmouth, I conversed some time with an Irish soldier, (now a "dock laborer,") who had been in the thick of the fight both at Alma and Inkermann. His Regiment was the 88th 'Connaught Rangers, so famous in the Peninsular, war, with its war cry of 4 4 Faugh a Ballah," or " Clear the Way." He described the coolness of the soldiers at Alma, gathering the ripe grapes as they pressed up the hill toward the Russian batteries, which rained such a tempest upon them; and with characteristic humor de scribed one of his comrades who had climbed an apple tree and filled his forage cap with fruit, when the branch 'was swept away by a round shot, and brave Pat falling the ground unhurt, raised a loud lament his spilled apples to Inkermann, it was indeed a terrible' The Rangers at one time being back, the artillerymen cried out, h will you let the guns be taken ?" the soldiers rushed to the rescue, a scene of horror occurred, the Rus ; and they stabbing one another across guns, until they were finally rescued. 'uch interest has been awakened by the )very, among the late Sir R. Peel's pri cabinet, of the following PRAYER. It rs that it was sent .to him by a Dissent minister, at the time when Sir Robert so terribly assailed in the House of ions, by D' Israeli and the Conserva in 1846, because of his desertion of lady, and his measures for the abolition Cora Laws. There is good reason to e that he made use of it : feat and Merciful God, Ruler of All Nations, me daily to repair to thee for wisdom and suitable to the high offices whereto thy lence has called me. Strengthen, 0 Lord, Ltural powers and faculties, that the weighty llama interests with which thy servant is 3d may not greatly suffer through weariness iy and confusion of mind. Deign, I be thee, to obviate or correct the ill effects of omissions or mistakes in my proceedings as result from partial knowledge, infirmity of cunt, or unfaithfulness in any with whom I to do. Let thy blessings rest upon my Sovereign my country. Dispose the hearts of all in stations to adopt such measures as will pre- Public order, foster industry, and alleviate, IMI , May true religion flourish, and peace be uni jersal. r Grant that, so far as may consist with human kreakness, whatsoever is proposed by myself or ethers, for the general good, may be viewed with Candor, and that nil wise and useful measures may he conducted to a prosperous issue. "As for me. thy servant, grant, 0 merciful God, that I may not be so far engrossed 'with public anxieties as that thy Word should become unfruitful in me, or be so moved by difficulty or opposition as not to pursue that narrow way which leadeth me to life. And, 0 most gracious Father, if, notwithstanding my present desires and purposes, I should forget thee, do not thou forget me, seeing that I entreat thy „mama re membrance and favor, 01 4 for the sake of our most blessed Advocate and Redeemer, jeans Christ, to whom, with thee and the Holy Spirit, be glory for ever. Amen." It is also stated that the Statesman made it a point, every right, to read the Scripture s before retiring to rest; and that after the most exciting debates, he found this the grand means of calming his mind. I am not aware that I have mentioned in former letters, that the Free Church has AllemNs TO TUT, JEWS established in two parts of Germany. It is curious and inter esting to,know, that the rationalistic class , of Jews, whose object, a few years agO, was " political emancipation, tog ether with a convenient deistical religion , " are "gradu ally returning to the more substantial no tions of a national restoration, a spiritual te ligion in accordance with the Scriptures ; and by consequence, also, 'to the belief , of a personal Messish:” 4 " I have always considered," writes Mr. Sutler from Karlsruhe, "Jewish rationalism as a state of transition in a negative point of view; it served, and still serves, to corrode the system of traditional Rabbinism, and to displace the Talmud. If the reaction, as may be hoped, takes a deeper and wider ground, it will drive the better Jews, 7:ot back into the Talmud, but into the Bible." Certainly the overthrow of Rabbinical tradition, by which "the Commandments of God" are still "made void," would be a mighty step in advance, toward the destined deliverance of the Jewish race from un belief. In Turkey, at Salonica and Cassandra, missionaries are also stationed. At the lat ter, the corrupt Greek Church has suffered damage by their presence—fifteen or twenty persons wishing to be ;separated from it, and to be formed into a Protestant community. At Smyrna and Voorla, Jewish inquirers, among whom was Joshua Hazan, the son or a Chief Rabbi, have suffered severe perse cution from their Hebrew kinsmen. The Free Church has sustained serious loss in the removal, by death, of PROFESSOR DIERRZLES, the originator of the Lay Asso ciation, in aid of missionary enterprises, and Superintendent of the Schools, aided by "Dick's bequest." She also mourns the decease of Professor Smith, an Oriental scholar, of high standing in Queen's College, Canada. He had come home for the benefit of his wife's health; she died a few weeks ago; and.he himself, suddenly cut off in the prime and vigor of his days, has speedily followed her. Last week, I was present at the ANNUAL FESTIVAL OF THE SCOTTISH HOSPITAL, an ancient incorporated Charity, instituted for the relief of the poor Scotch in .London. It has been of immense benefit in helping the children - of misfortune, who had no homes in this mighty city, whose funds had failed, and many of whom had seen better days. It has been especially useful to two classes---the old and the young. To the former, (men and women,) it grants a month ly allowance; and besides the Caledonian Schools, at which are boarded, clothed, and educated a number of boys, the ions of Scottish soldiers, it gives money to the re spective ministers of Presbyterian churches in London, an annual. sum proportionate to the number under instruction, for the edu cation of the children of Scottish pareati. This last is, as I can testify, an important boon. The cost Of education is a serious matter, and contrasts seriously with the light charges made in the Parish, and other schools, in North Britain. The Scottish Corporation, and its in terests, were seriously affected by the Dis ruption of 1843. Previously to that event, the children of the Caledonian Asylum were taken, every Lord's day to the National Scotch Church, Regents Square. But soon after, Reverend gentlethan, who has always been a consistent and bitter foe of the Free Church, and has been very • active in ad vising those law proceedings by which, at Berwick and Manchester, large congrega tions have been turned out of their churches, on a point of law, stirred up Scottish noble men, and others of the Tory and Anti-Free Church party, to pass :a resolution to with draw the children from Regent Square Church. This gave serious offence to the leading members of Dr. Hamilton's congre gation; and the result has been, that their subscriptions have been withdrawn, and that the finances of the Corporation have been seriously injured. At the dinner, which was served with great magnificence in the celebrated " Lon don Tavern," the Lord-Mayor was in the Chair; and there was a very numerous com pany of gentlemen, several of them in the picturesque Highland garb. Besides this; we had , among the dishes a' reel/ Scotch " haggis " which Robert Burns apostrophizes with such fervor.: Then there was the in strumental band of the kilted boys of the Asylum, playing in an adjoining apartment; while the Queen's"own Piper,, splendidly dressed in tartan and phillibeg, with stream ing ribbons on his beautiful pipes, several times paraded round the table; while "loud and high the Cameron's Gathering rose," or some other Highland strain, pierced" the ears of the English part of the company: But among the notabilities present, two were prominent. The first was 'the "Hero of Kars," Sir W. F. Williams, whose escutch eon, however, is Somewhat dimmed, by the apparently well-founded claim of Kmety, a Hungarian General, to a large amount of the honors of the defence of Kara, a fact which General Williams has not acknowl edged. The appearance of the latter is very striking. His figure is rather above the middle height. He has a fine shaped head, with dark hair curling around; and eyes black and piercing. He wore a star on his breast, and other ornaments. The second party who excited some interest, was Judge Halyburton, of Canada, the author of ""Saw Slick," and other Works. His appearance was that of an elderly, and somewhat self indulged gentleman, of the.old school. I was not preposseszed in his favor; and his attempts at wit' were jell enough after din ner, but not very successful. He indulged in Tory-like praise of England, and in some sneers at America; and concluded with pro posing the health of the Lord-Mayor and Corporation of London, professing admira tion even of its alleged " abuses." Such talk would have gone down twenty or thirty years : ago; but now. Judge Halyburton is but one of a few surviving specimens of those Anti- Liberals, of which Sir A. Allison, and Blackwood's Magazine, ate the apostles. J. W. P. S.—The man who attempted the life .of the King of Naples, has been executed. _There is general discontent there. The Emperor of Austria is still in Italy. He has failed to win the Venetians and the people of Lombardy, although making resti tution of sequestered estates, and granting amnesties.

WASHINGTON, January . 5, 1867 The new year was inaugurated as a social fes tival at the Capitol. Within the last decade, the good old Sniekerbocker custom of New Ydrk, •of a general interchange of hospitable civilities on, that day, has been established here, and is now recognized as a part and feature of the occasion. The President received the diplomatic corps atll o'clock, and afterwards, all the officers of the Army and Navy in the city, paid their respects in a body. At noon, the doors of the Executive mansion, were thrown open to the public, general ly, and eicellent arrangements, prevented the least confusion Capon the first pressure of the crowd. It was, however, remarked, that the throng by no means equalled the,display or tuna-out during-the last, three, years, andin this respect furnished an other illustration of the effect of. deParting power upon human infirmities.

Sycophancy has turned its face to the rising sun, and makes servile homage, where favor is to be conciliated. The heads of Departments, the President of the Senate. the Speaker of the House of Representa tives, Members of both Houses of Congress who have establishments here, and many of the prin cipal private citizens, received their friends with liberal and tastely hospitality. And although the day itself was forbidding, and the snow had whitened the face of the city, still these little im pediments were regarded rather as ttontribiztions to the happiness of the occasion, or at least - were adopted in that spirit. Everybody seemed to be joyous, and each vied with the other in the dis pensation of those offices, which cement more closely the bonds of friendly brotherhood. For the laFit fortnight, Congress' has taken the world easy, and now that the Christmas turkey has been discussed, and the old year said its fare well, there is an apparent disposition to go to work iu earnest, and make up for lost time. All the appropriation billh; are reported, and most of the mere Buncombe speeches .have been let off, sothat the way is in a manner cleared, for serious and useful legislation: . On Friday, the House triani fested niore'thatuutitial willingness, to taketip the private calender, and actually made a progress of fifteen or twenty gases. • As yet, the Conhalttee on Public Lands in the House, have not agreed upon any substitute for the Pacific Railroad bill, reposed at the huh ses sion. Various modifications hive been presented, hut all encountered that sort of objection, which only served to increase existing complications. The generel idea is, to make a combination of three routes, or, rather of one main line, with Northern and Southern branches, - by whiclimeans it is hoped to enlist these various sectional influ ences. With this view, the Committee recently conferred the Southern grant upon a company al ready established in Texas, under the auspices of Mr. Walker, formerly Secretary of the Treasury, and Mr. Ring, formerly Member of 'Congress from Georgia. But it has since been discovered, that this corporation did. not fulfil its contract with the State of Texas, and consequently, there is a pur pose to recede from the concession. Of course, the Committee are opposed by whatever influence the company can commend, and from this conilict of interest, the whole'enterprise has been embar rassed and prejudiced. Indeed, much doubt is now expressed, whether any hope be entertained of its success at the present session.. And the Committee are strongly inclined to abandon the effort, , from want of,the necessary encouragement and aid. The rumors of a decision in the Missouri case, are entirely unfounded, both hi regard to the fact, and the circumstances cOnnected with it. In the first place, it is positively ascertained, that the Judges have as yet he'd no consultation on the subject, and in the next it is well known, that others' than those-named,.were in favor of, sustain ing the constitutionality of the Missouri Compro mise. At leastJtidgesMcLeati, and Grier, did not conceal their. opinions 'to this effect, and Judge Nelson was.believod to concur with them, under certain qualifications. If the real merits of this cause should be decided, it would be a, great misfortune, if by any chapter of accidents or coincidences, as bare majority of the Court should render'the judgment, and that majority be composed exclusively of Southern men. For whatever confidence may be entertained in this tribunal, the impression could not be dismissed from some minds, that such a decision was a re sult of the sectional agitation; and that the causes which operated elsewhere, had also entered a spot, which was considered far removed from the pro bability of external influences. And this convic tion, which wouldhe gladly circulated by those who live upon excitement, would tend to diminish that great moral confidence which after all, is the very life-blood , of this high forum. Mr. Buchanan.. has announced to his friends that he will not come here until about the middle of February. His recent visit to Philadelphia, afforded the opportunity of confeeence with pub lic men, and gave some indistinct clue to his plans. A general, outline of ,the new Cabinet has been formed, and perhaps five names, viz. : Gen. Cass, Mr. Cobb, Mr.. Bright, Gov. Floyd, and Mr. Clifford, Of Maine, may be regarded as nearly fixed Upon. The other two may depend upon circumstances, Mr. Benjamin, who is spoken of as the representative man f the Old Line Whigs, is by no means positively designated; and Mr. usk, who has been suggested for a place, declines the honor without being asked to accept it. When Mr. Buchanan reaches-Wash ington, all these nice plans may be deranged; and in fact the war•has already begun upon the mere reported probabilities. The 'struggles •of ambition are not easily satisfied, and Mr. Buchan an will be•spt to find, that commanding as is the honor to which , he has been elevated, there are, after all, but two hippy days An. a ?residential term—one being the day in whiokhe goes , in, and the other the day in which he'goe4 out; Although the 'coMbination formed among in terested whet; for) admitting railroad iron free of duty, and for refunding duties paid within a given period, has been regarded as formidable ; still it 'has been recently ascertained that ,the basis upon which it assumed to rest is not entire ly assured. The South was counted as a Unit in this movement, upon 'the presumption that in terest only would. guide its action. There are men in that station , governed by higher motives, and more statesmanlike views, who dietrust the policy of this special' legislation. They are, to be sure, in favor of admitting iron and wool free of du ‘ ty, but only as'n part of a system of general revision, to be applied te the whole tariff. They contend, and with much reason, too, if these ar ticles be made exceptions, that the minor points, subordinate in themselves, but formingtan im portant aggregate, can never be reached.. Hence, they are indisposed to separate these specialities, or to aide system which precludes the practica bility of such , a, change in the whole revenue laws, as they consider impprtant. Hence, the project will not start under all the anipices that were supposed to be so promising at the outset. Without tbo full Southern support, the movement cannot easily succeed. There is much doubt, notwithstanding the seem ing results of the, Presidential contest, whether the next House of Representatives will have a Democratic majority. If the American party shall hold its own .in the Summer and Fall' elec tions throughout the South, as it will be likely to do, from the disappointments consequent upon the distribution of patronage by the new Admin istration, they will probably have the balance of power, or the majority will be so closely balanced, that any accident. May turn the scale either way. The purse strings are held by the popular branch, and in that chamber the course of the President is more rigidly examined than in the other, while opposition there usually finds freer vent. Already the indications begin to thicken, that Mr. Buchanan is destined to encounter a keen • and rasping scrutiny from selfzconstituted leaders in the South, who affect to represent ex clusively the opinions, and policy of ,that section, and who are'not slow; even now, in assailing the President-elect, for not inviting their 'rash coun sels in the composition of his Administration. Assuming to speak in the name and by the au thority of the South, they discard all moderate or Union-loving mob, as not reflecting its real senti ments, and demand:Abet others more noted fqr zeal than discretion, shall be preferred. This op position is the natural result of a' morbid and false political organization, which has exhibited itself in n greater or lose degree during all Ad ministrations for the last ten years. Mr. Bu chanan must, therefOre, be prepared to face it at the beginning, and to meet the responsibility of an open collisioh, rather than yield to exactions which must disturb the peace of the country. . A CALM OBSERVER. ...,.:11,tba.,..,Pipartritint,::"''' China and Russia. We, last week, 'stated that the Insurgents, or perhaps we should say, Revolutionists, in China, had been making additibnal 'advances, after a season of not much , progress. We recur to the subject again to note the movements of Russia in that direction. It has alivaYs been the policy of Monarchs to aid each other *hen the thrinteWas in danger ; and of aspiring nations to interfere with the domestic troubles of their neighbors, and by engaging with a party, to gain an influence subversive of the independence of the people who were professedly aided. Let nations ever guard against internal strife. . Information lately : eceived, states that the Em-, peror,,of Russia has offered to- the Emperor' of China troops to put down Tai-pipg-Wang,, the head" of the. rebellion. There is considerable of inlaid trade between Russia and Russia, has also a late commercial treaty. with, Chlna, whicy.we,sec•tilinn staled :—"Russia is 10 have a seaport, with three thousand acres of land ad- joining, granted to her in perpetuity, on the South coast of Chusan. This port, together with the above quantity of land, is to be henceforth a Rus sian possession. Russia is to have a Consul Gen eral. with full diplomatic powers, who is to reside at the said port. This Russian Consul General is to have power to appoint three Consuls, or dip lomatic agents, for the other provinces of the Chinese Empire, without requiring any special confirmation from the Chinese Government." The port here spoken of is said to be of no great value: but it is gaining a foothold, it is cultivating a, familiarity, it is progressive; and if Russian troops shall once enter China, to put down the re bellion, they are not likely to leave without has ing secured some advantages of a permanent char acter, and in the line of territorial aggrandize ment. , This movement, also, is likely to tad to the complications of Russia. with. England. Theßrit lab commerce with:China is great, and very valu able, and she, will depart from all her antecedents if she shall tamely. suffer a rival to gain an ascen dency. England also may think that she has as good a right, to assist ,Tai -ping-Wang, the new Emperor, as tussle, has, to assist the ,EMperor, of Tartar origin ;•mad may find a plea of conscience too, in the fact that the Revolutionises admit the Bible and reject, idolatry. There is no,doubt but that. England willkeep a,watchful eye on all the movements: The Americans also, whose trade is large and increasing with China, will have Aber sympathies strongly ; enlisted with the new claim ant to, the Imperial'throne, as Ida,policy is likely to be far more liberal than that of the present dynasty: • .• ; Pennsylvani.a Legislature. . . „ This, body, in both its branches, et at Harris . m burg, on .

From the official statistics of Ohio, for the year 1856, we learn that the. State contains 621,443 horses, 1,680,710 cattle, 45,760 mules, 8,513,683 sheep 1 831 124 swine and 267 595 carriages. The Legislature of hlissouri met in season, at Jefferson. and organized by electing a Benton Demograt Seciretary of the Senate, and a Demo cratic Whig Speaker of the House.

The quarrel is; ostensibly,' about Hartar: This is a free city and district on the North West- , ern border 'of Afghanistan. The city is the forti fied, capital, Anchcentairs, shout Jorty, thousand inhabitants. It is not far from the Southern ex tremity of the Sea, and is regarded as of great strategical jinportaric,:s. Afghanistan is spoken of as the way to British India, and Herat as the door opening into it; and it is supposed that British India.is an, object of the Czar's long ings. Persia was, by treaty with'England, bound not to enter Herat ; but under seine Proiocation from Herat, and instigated as la said by Russia,' she laid siege to the city, and his captnred it.' Hence the declaration of war on the part of England, and the dispatch of a fleet and army le the - Persiiin Gulf: And already, 'Russia has a General and fifty thousand men detailed, with orders topdvance into Persia for her aid, ae oon as England shall have given' a, bIOW. , .
