New York, December 8. The Persia has arrived with Liverpool dates to the 20th ult. Austria is reported to have raised another difficulty regarding the European Congress, and the invitations to various powers were in abeyance. The regency question, it is said, causes Iho difficulty. Lord Cowley is reported lu have boon authorized by Napoleon to propose to England a general and simultaneous disarmament. The London journals treat the idea as absurd. Lord Cowley was, however, in London. The English army will be increased by additional battalions equivalent tu 11 new regiments. The Paris Bourse was reported linn at "of. 20c. Thc French journals have been instructed to encourage iho idea nf a general disarmament. Italian affairs are unchanged. The Sardinian Government has issued a circular do- feuding its course regarding the Regency of Central Italy. Spain was chartering steamers nnd contracting fur .-lures in England tu prosecute the war against Sfor- ■ OCCII. Nothing decisive has yet occurred in Slorocco. Austria grants a full amnesty to all compromised in I Italian affairs. Tin- Bombay mail of the 12th November has been I telegraphed tn London. The reported death of Nona B Sahib lacks confirmation. China.—Bis Excellency the American .Minister nrri- fved at Shanghai on the 22nd of August, after visiting 11'i-kin. when-, however, tho Mission appears to have been all but prisoners. Personal communication with [the Russians was denied them, and some of their corres- 1 pondence was detained fur many days by the Chinese. | Tin- Emperor refused tn see Mr. Ward unless tho latter t consented to perform an act of obeisance, nnd, as he I'clinod tn do so, it was notified that the treaty would I nut be ratified at I'ckin biftat Pehtang a t'fWf^irdri the i Gulf of Pcchidi, at the entrance of that stream by which j the Americans performed their journey to the capital. | 'I'lii' Mission accordingly left Pekin, and on its arrival at fPehtnng thu ratifications ivero exchanged without any ceremony. The t'Ama Mail gives n detailed account of Sir. [■Ward's visit to Pekin, from which we extract the folding:— "About 11 o'clock next day, Sir. Ward, attended by i only three of his party, went to the public hall, where jibe Imperial commissioners' met him, surrounded by a [jreat crowd of officials of every shade of button, all iresscd in their easy summer costume. Kweiliang look- ■d more hale than when at Shanghai; and said that his ■journey of 30 dnys had been on tho whole pleasant. : He soon began, however, upon weightier matters, and vindicated iho late acts uf his Government in respect of its plans fur the exchange uf thc three treaties. He then proceeded to state that as the Emperor had a regard for lhc Americans, he wished In do them honor by Granting them an audience, and it only remained fur the parties then present to settle upon the manner of np- laching tlie throne. Without going into any need- s details upon the interesting conversations which I ensued un this topic, at this and subsequent interviews, ii will be better to recapitulate tho main arguments used iy the Chinese functionaries in explaining and urging their views, as these show more clearly the real nature bf the ceremony nr 11 minister from a friendly nation to come to his cap- ' and refuse to seo him, when he required so much fss of him than ho did of his own courtiers ; besides llich the President world bo offended with him for not liuwing propor respect to his envoy. In some Europo- In Courts, evon iu the English, persons knelt before the faveroign when presented to him, and it was no moro progatory to do so hero than there. They did not beside to say they regarded the homage paid their Slou- fch as of the same sort as thnt given to gods, and ould oven burn incense to thc President as well as iko tho kotow to him, if required at Washington, in Nor to manifest eniire respect. 'You are a Plonlpo- Iiitiary,' said Hwashunn, turning to Mr. Ward, 'and plainly have full power to do such an act.' 'I mil- pt invested with power sullicicnt to change the laws id usages of my country, and cannot do anything to grade it,' was Mr. Ward's reply."

Intebestint, Fact.—The following singular nd au thentic ease of restoration of the human hair is worthy of observation, more particularly as tt relates to an article of high and universal repute during the lust half century. Mr. A. Herrmann, of Queen street, Soho, had been quite bnld for some time past, and had tried var1- ous preparations for the recovery of his hair, but without any beneficial result. He was then induoed to try the clfocts of " Rowlands' Macassar Oil;" and after daily applying it for nbout two months, he, much to his gratification, had his hair quite restored, nnd now possesses a beautiful head of hair. This fact speaks loo strongly for itself to require comment,—Bell's Weekly Messenger. Rowland's Hair Wash.

To this must be added the proceeds of the now private boxes, which■ would raise it to £1530. The expenses ofthe department, cannot at the outside, exceed £000 per annum, and a surplus would thus be left of £950, which might be devoted either to-the general purposes ofthe Colony, or to-become, (as we think would be far better) the nucleus ofa sum to be devoted lo tho encouragement of a mail, service between this and San Francisco. Supposing we have (there is a demand for them) double the amount of private boxes, and were to raise the postage to 25 cents for a time (as has been proposed) the clear profit to the department would he £2,500 per annum, a respectable sum. No matter to what purposo Iho surplus proceeds of this department are devoted, it is the duly of Government to obtain all the revenue from it possible; und the only way In make il speedily effective, is In make it capable of supporting itself and tho country, in the true sense of the word. Iu these few remarks, we have only taken thc statistics of the colony as it is, but in the event of its bccom-l uig rapidly populated, to which we all look forward, such figures would vanish, and bo supplied, we trust, by others which would enable the government to lower the rales of postage, and obtain largo returns.

Tin; appcaruiico of an advertisement, in our issue of Wednesday, calling for Tenders from those desirous of oBnlji'ticting for .currying out certain improvements necessary to render the Harrison river nrtvigfiblo for small Stcam- ors, such as the "Col. .Moody" and "Gdvernor Douglas," appears to havo given some dissatisfaction, and tho Colonist yesterday, has an article upon the subject, in which various insinuations arc thrown out, which arc not, by any means called for. The British Columbian Steam Navigation Company, some'timo since, made proposals to the (iovonimcnt to carry out the required improvements, which -would open out. the Navigation so as to enable Steamers to reach Porl Douglas at all seasons of fcho year, the Company guaranteeing to convey freight, from Victoria to Port Douglas and Fort Hope, lor twenty-five dollars a ton, and carry out certain other most advantageous arrangements, Considering the circumstance that freight lias hitherto rarely been taken up the Fi'iizer river at a less rate than §70 or] §75, thc terms proposed by the alcove-mentioned Company appear to be very lair. The Government, however, are desirous of receiving tenders, with a view of ascertaining whether any other parties can undertake the works, required, upon more advantageous terms to ilie public, and by so troiiig appears to have called down the indignation of the Colonist, which cha-' ractorizes this straightforward proceeding as "another job." We are abovo all things del siroiis that none but tlie most liberal measures should bo adopted with regard to the river navigation iu llrilisli Columbia, and therefore as there appears lo be some difference of opin-j in as tii the desirability of accepting thc jm*< - posal of tho , Company, we refrain from recording our ideas un i ho subject, with a view to giving further timo for tho expression o*' public sentiment. Assay Offioe.—We are informed that the assay office will be established at Now Westminster, and thataj fire proof building will in all probability be shortly erected for this department. Xavioation or Harrison ' River:—We understand that ii proposal has been made to the Government, by.' the liritish Columbian Steam navigation Company, to undertake the outlay required to open up the liavig.".,, tion of Harrison River, so that Steamers may reach Port Douglas at all seasons ofthe year, and the Company will guarentee to convey Freight from Victoria to | Port Douglas, and Fort Hope, at a rate not exceeding §25 a ton, upon condition of the Government paying to the Company, for a certain period all tolls that may , be levied on Steam Vessels to reimburse the outlay.! We notice in our columns of to day, no advertisement for tenders for the work in question, and soweprcsume tlio Government has not closed with the offer made,! and perhaps, wisely so, although we trust, it will not) bo hastily refused, for with past experience before our eyes ofthe evil effects of undue combination, by which competition is rendered inoperative, and the country, in the end impoverished, the certainty of providing a c leap rale of transport us far as Douglas and Hope, is a matter not to bo lightly dealt with. New CiiCRCH.—Il is with great pleasure that we have j to announce tluitit is tho intention (D. \'.) uf His Lord- j ship the Bishop ot liritish Columbia, to proceed shortly iu New AVestminstor, tu choose n site for the iinmcdiutb erection of a Church for that City.

The only way in which taxafion can be made practicable by any people is by combining comfort-with the necessary evil ns. much as possible;, or in oilier words, giving an equivalent for thc nioncv idrawn from individual purses. In considering this great question of taxation, il is obviously ihe duty ol Govornmont to neglect no object, however small that may contribute lu ihe grout cud iu view. Anion .; other things, wo think thu Post office might bo mado the source of a much larger Revenue than il. i^ at present. Tho rale uf colonial postage is comparatively low. Five cents is u coin thnt is uot easily attainable. Why not,, therefore, nt once raise the rate of pi , ig . and see that il is iu nu instance avoided. As nearly as wo can gather, tiie statistics nro as follows:—About 2200 letters arrive here every month un an average, with 2000 newspapers. And about 1400 letters, with about 000 newspapers are despatched. On every letter o cents colonial postage is paid, whether it is received or sent away, and 1 cent ou every newspaper. Raise the rate to 10 cents (which even hero is loss than the price of a drink) on letters, and 2 cents on papers and allowing for letters free nnd unclaimed, wo have a monthly revenue uf illi'l. To this must be added tho postage on letters dropped, and taking them at thc law average of 100 per month, wo should make tho monthly revenue £05.
