With a half shiver I throw up the window, and went l*cl_ io my corner. Contrary to niy |usu_. haUt, 1 was strangely sleepy that evening. Thia I attributed to a hard day's work, combined with the change from the heavy atmosphere of London to the clear frosty air through which we wore hurrying.

The time and the situation weresullii -ieully startling. In broad dayligl t it wnuld have been an unpleasant surprise. In the dark night, in the middle nf a gloomy mysterious tunnel, its effect was heightened a hundred-fold. But I retained my presence of mind ; and, even iu lhat first moment, felt that I uiust be ,-aiitious. I was possibly in the power of this man, and uny sign nf fear might lie fatal. I did not move; but, opening my eyes to theii utmost width, I stared back nt this mysterious traveller, who came and went with such supernatural jiii.M i- Then I gradually moved into a more upright position.

"A miserable wretch," he replied, and I thought he would hun- hunt iuto tears. "The most, miserable wretch on earth. I throw myself on your honour and protection, sir." "My honour and protection!' I cried indignantly. "As far as I can see it is not a case for honour and protection, but for a magistrate. 1 shall certainty deliver you up at the nexl station."

There waa a history behind all this. Here waa no madman certainly; and as I looked more closely at, the face I felt drawn towards it. I motioned to the young man to resume his seat. "Now," I continued, when done se, "tell me who and what ynu are, and what you have done. Tell me the whole truth, and leave me to judge, after that as to what I shall do with you.

Iw GMna j-i_tv_c_t_a:Y. he had of Burt aud ll.-nry, the great diamond merchants. Many a time 1 have taken diamonds to Mr. Wellesley, gold Hum to him, aud received his cheque. More than once 1 have seen his whole oollee- tion. 1 have watched him take tin- small black l-ox from his safe and compare lhe stones with those 1 just sold hini " 'What folly,'' 1 thought, as the speai__ paused » woFw-nt, with an In ward groan at my couan's imprudent- I had taken to Mr. Wellesley one morning two or three stones of "more than ordinary value, and he brought out his whole collection to make a comparison. He bade ine look into them and note their l-eauty. I uas laz/.leit by the sight, slid, I suppose, at the idea of so much being tin- por perty of one man. A demon at that instant took possession of me. I could have declared that a some-thing tangible whispered to ine thai these might become mine. A vision rose up before me as to what 1 could do. From that moment 1 became possessed as much, 1 verily believe, as the men than you read of inthe New Testament. I was no longer my own master. I had lost my free will. 1 saw when, the diamonds were kept. 1 noticed the key as Mr. Wellesley placed it on the table after locking up his treasure, I studied it during the whole time that he was writing out a cheque. I have strangely accurate eye for form, and as I left the room I made a drawing of of the key. Even then I could hardly tell why I did it. It wis as though my mind and my hand were guided by aome mesmeric power, unseen but felt. Bit by bit the madness gained upon me of wishing to possess those diamonds. Day by day it grew stronger and less controllable. 1 became ill and feverish; I slept little, and niy dreams were haunted by the flashes nf those stoneH. Strange, unaccountable state in oue who had had handled and had the command of thousands of gems, and never felt the slightest wjkIi to possess one." "Strange indeed," I observed. "Do you mean to say that you have had controlof thestoresot Burt and Henry's, and yet never coveted any but those belonging to my cousin ?' "Never, sir, on my honour; as truly as that, we are now in Ihis carriage. By night, 1 say I could not sleep. Uy day 1 grew restless anil absorbed. My companions noted the change, and joked me with being in love, 1 wus indeed in love, feverishly, insanely in love; but not as they supposed. One thought, one idea absorbed me; the possession of those gems. My brain had lost its balance. Sleep, rest, appetite, peace of mind—everything was gone. Then caine the time when Mr. Wellesley went to I'.rlsinero. I had made n key as near to my model and recollection as possible . I Went np to iny uncle and asked hiui . to let me spend a week with him. He readily consented, for I am a favourite of his You know, sir, though a servant, my uncle has almost gentle blood iu Ins Hints, He is well educated and Intelli gent, too. But he is only my uncle by marriage. That very lirst night, when the house was asleep, 1 erepr out of my owu room, slipped into Mr. \V_cllesley'8 and tried my key." "And it succeeded 1" 1 interrupted, involuntarily. "No, sir, nol us yet. It wauled altering, but I could tell tlint it would succeed eventually. Kor several nights I did the same I hin.,, until at last lhe door stood open. I'he diamonds were mine. This happened but two nights before Mr, Wellesley's return home. "But now, though the diamonds were mine, so uncertain, so treacherous is liiiiiinii nature, I suddenly lost all peace of mind, all happiness. With the success of my scheme I seemed to realise for the first lime the enormity of my crime. In short my mind had recovered its balance. My companions had noticed my altered appearance liefore : tbey did so more than ever now. I can safely say that not one moment's rest have 1 enjoyed sine that one fatal night. Not from the fear of discovery, bai as that has been, but for the sin itself. I would have returned them secretly- I would indeed—but then came, the fuss, the commotion, the town-talk, the advertisements, the knowledge lhat Scotland Yard had the mat ter iu hand, and I feared to do it. To add to my misery, I was paialyzed with terror. Nightly dreams of a felon's fate, of working in chains, visited me. 1 would start up in the darkness, Ir- m- bling with a wild fear, feeling ihe clutch of a detective upon my arm, the iron round my wrist. In short, I was on the road to madness or death. "I could bear it no longer. I asked for a holiday. D was granted at once. My principals saw I was ill, and thought I needed rest: I was too good a clerk lo them to be lightly esteemed. I left directly. My mind was made up. 1 would'quit Kngland and emigrate. When far enough a*ay to be in safety, I would return the diamonds, and thus inaome slight measure atone for mv sin This »ery night I was ou my way to Hereford to bid mv mother fon-.i.-ll "And lhe diamonds?"

Without reflection I pushed it behind me. The next moment you looke I at me steadily, then go up to the guard. My guilty conscience made a coward of inc.

He was indeed a pule, ,-iiilu.i'r...is looking object, yet with Ilad's of refin ment and good looks in his face. I searched for any indication of an e. il ur dishonest nature, and found none. Meeting him iu the ordinary cireuin stances of life it was li face I should have (rusted thoroughly. "You have indeed acted imprudently," I said. "Had the guard looked under the seat, nothing could have saved you." "True, sir. But I seemed to foresee what would happen.

My companion put his hands before his eyes, '*I cannot look al I hem," he said : "the sight haunts me with horror." I m covered them up again and put tie in into my bar^.

Such powerful protection hud its duo effect ou our citizens and the terrible pioture of rapine and murder whieh was to bn perpetrated hy the blood thirsty Italians gave place to a sudden burnt of martial ardor that would have put Boinbtstet Pnri- OM to shame.

Tlio magistrates themselves Huem to have imbibed considerable con rage Irom tin* pretence of yo many of them, (ind sent telegrams ordering the train bands at New Vveittnittltor to hold themstilveo iu roadluetl lor immediate action ; this we know was done.

Very original ideas were expressed us to the best way to defend tlie town and the beat of the dilCUtSlon involved u continued absorption of old Ky. Wt* learn that the excitement st New Westminster waa still greater and arrangements wero absolutely made to bring over the great guns tiloug with the artillery and rifle corps. All this kettle of fish began and ended iu the fact that no one eould understand what the Italians laborers said, and finding that they were roughly treated without uny apparent reason, they naturally got, "riled." There ran be no dmibt that they were hired at Winnipeg for {.1.40 p-jr day, ami thut tjiey did not feel inclined to work for that sum when their fellow laborers here were getting SW.OO.

Wi ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ laide at H o'clock on Tuesday morning uud ■teamed up the Praesrfor Chilliwhack, to Which place we were cordially invited on the 68th anniversary of the order of Oddfellows. A great many would-be excursionists tinned bach eouseipiently upon the iocle* money of the weather, so our number WU not as large as it otherwise would huve been. Nothing of unusual interest transpired during the trip. Owing to the continuous rain during tbe dny we were debarred from seeing the snow tupped mountains nnd the delight ful tannery, conspicuous on more fovorubh occasions, and for which the district ji deservedly famous. We arrived at Chilliwhael. the place of our destination at 1:30 p.m., and were met by the memben of the Excelaior Lodge, in full regalia who escorted us in carriages, baroiicnet ind buggies to Henderson ball where J, C. Henderson, tit']> welcomed us in a brilliant ipeachi which was appropriately responded to by a member of our order from the Royal City. At this hall we patted the time pleasantly and enjoyed tin- amusements provided for us until ."> o'clock wheu we were escorted again to a sumptions feust ot the richest and must delicate viands to which all did ample justice. After supplying the wants of the inner- man, we utt ended u concert consisting of tableaux, charades, vi ■ , duets, and dialogues, and had a most enjoyable time. It mutt be said to the credit cf those who took part in the concert that they rendered their respective parts with admirable merit. The beautiful and accomplished young ladies for whom Chilliwhack has long been noted, have exquisite voices and sang with a sweetness and richness of voice creditable to the largest metropolis of the Aineric.au continent. Tho concert over, the bids and lasses tripped the light "fantastic toe" until the wee small hours of morning. Then bidding an a flee tion ute farewell to hospitable )>eople nf OhltUwhtok who did everything in their power for our amuse* incut and comfort, we boarded our homeward bound boat and reached the Royal City in due time. It had been conceded by every one who participated iu the excursion, and partook of the princely banquet, and who attended the i-ubsequent concert that n more thoroughly enjoyable affair never came under their notice on any previous ooootlon, and in this connexion too much cannot be said ofthe kindness and affability of the citizens of Chilliwhack for whom we shall always cherish un indelible reniemher- ance. 0.

Still the llussiaos are a queer lot, and theu there is always that untorttiuutc will of Peter the Oreat. The British Parliament has beeu the arena of many wild and exciting scenes the past week. Mayor Sauu'lerson, leader of the loyal Orangemen, in a speech he made supporting the Coercion Bill, charged the Irish iiicinbcci with being iu alliance with the murder societies of America, whereupon the renowiit.d Tim Healy of the Hesly clause stood up aud said, " If the honorable mem ber refers to mu he is a liar." This little sully caused great uproar aud on a vote Tim was suhpended for a week aud now looks dou n trom the struufiers gallery at the proceedings. Mujor Saundersou con* tinued his speech in the same Btruin uot taking anything btek >* ie-u Sexton rose and said "if the honorable and OoAmJ gentleman refers to me he is u liar and a coward and if 1 had him outside the house 1 would thrash him within an inch of his life." The uproar and run In 'hoi increased uml the first assembly in the world became a beargarden, the Tories wanted Sexton suspended also but thu Speaker refused saying Mr. Sexton had received great provocation. Ho therefore directed the "gallant" major to withdraw his assertions and Sexton to do the same but refused, illogically enough, to reinstate Mr. Healy, The second reading of the Coercion bill was carried by a majority of 101. Three Liberal Unionists voted against the hill and ten abstained from voting. The late anti-coercion demonstrations in Kngland has frightened the Liberal Unionists, threats from their constituents alarmed thuui nioru but the defeat of coercion candidates iu tlie recent bye-elections frightened them worst of all. The day before the division the Londou Timtt published a facsimile of a letter ullegcd to have been written by Mr. Parnell to friends in America after tbe Pluenix park murders apologizing for having expressed sorrow at them, and stating it was necessary in order not to outrage public opinion in Kngland. You can form au idea of the ex c.temeiit this letter created. There was a rUBh for the Timm anil some of the Liberal Unionists who were wuvering felt that the letter had strengthened ami straightened their vertebral column. Parnell characterizes the letter as an iiifaiuous forgery and all but passionate Tories who believe the Irish capable of anything, believe him. The Timet says quite coolly, "well, if it is a forgery why don't you oome on and prosecute me, 'which is very tine when it knows no jury could be got to convict. Steps are to be taken to bring-the editor of the Timet before the bar of the Homm uf Commons. Mr. Parnell complains that the Tories ure fighting bim with loaded dice. When hu wanted to inakeau explanation in the llouue of tho letter btnlnetl, before the reporters (left, so that it Wonld reach the public before I the vote, Mr. Balfuttr refused to yield him the ten minutes he asked for, and altogether the Oovernment is abusing its privileges. Still the tide of public opinion in Kngland is running strongly in favor of (iladstuue and Parnell, and it is said were another geueral election to take place tomorrow the Tories would be defeated.

I'he tumult continued until Wednesday when Mr. Abbott arrived and promised tn pay $1.50 per day and give the foreigners a free pass to Winnipeg. The crowd went to work immediately ; the magistrates went home, and that tempest in a tea|iol subsided. The big bugs are quarreling. The Chicago Timet says: "If the interstate commerce commission refuses to suspend the long and short haul clause lor transcontinental lines, the Canadian Pacific Railway Syndicate will put on a steamboat line between Chicago and I'ort Arthur to coni|>ete for all classes of Pacific coast freights. Their tariff will be fifty per cent, lower than the tariff on American roads." The Syndicate may win but the people are sure to lose. They are in the hands of the Philistines. The floods in Montreal are subsiding, but a large quantity of lake ice is coining down the river and may cause- serious trouble.

Hundreds of dead animals are floating round the houses and the weather is cold. The Protestant associations of Ontario have empowered a committee to prepare a petition to the legislative assembly, praying that the proposed bill to incorporate the society of Jesuits shall not be passed. Three tons of eggs arrived in Victoria from San l-'rancisco on Monday. A great many of these eggs are dead chickens. The importation of eggs is not a credit to the Province. A man named Clarke is caged in Victoria ; he was the confidential clerk of a merchant in Truckee. He changed a cheque for $318, by writing six thousand before three hundred and putting the figure 6 next to the $. Then he went to San Francisco to visit a rotten egg known as Miss Krankie Whitcombe. Harry Morse the detective was engaged to make a search, and in six hours after he received the order, he had in his po- session a letter written by the rotten egg, in which she stated that she had a booby hooked, that he stole $6,000 and sent her $200, and lhat she was on the way to Victoria. And now the confidential clerk is on the way to Truckee in charge of the constable.

All lands held fur speculative purposes sliould be taxed at their full alue as such a tax would aid in dividing tlie burdens of taxation. A matter of vital importance to a free govern* ment is state ownership of railroads, telegraph lines, and other means of transportation. The United States should own every tailroad in the Republic. A special from Washington s.ys :— I'he President has created a sensation. He refused to go to the ibristening of Secretary Whitney's baby daughter Dorothy, on Monday, and stood all day at a back window of ibe White House which is within a stones throw of Whitney's residence/' And now the ilunkics who are paid to amuse the multitude say :- "It is ill known that the display and absurd aping of royalty, such as Ins icver been known in America before, kept the President away." Royalists, Republicans and Demounts are all the same slock, and full of vanity. General Shoiman on tho Indian pro- lil.-m says :—"The efforts making to save the remnants of the Indian race arc like thoefforts made by those, who tried to stop the tides with brooms. The sooner ti.e Indians are absorbed into the prevailing race, the sooner will l.e Bolvrd the Indian question, which has bothered the brains and commanded tim sympathies of the humane, long before they were born." The Oltgonictn says:—"The deadly fool who killed Mrs Newton ut Albino was sentenced to the penitentiary for a year, was pardoned yesterday by the Governor—a cuse of—too much mercy. .Fearful cyclones tornadoes aud hailstorms have within the last ten days swept over we-icni Missouri and sou'li western Kansas ; one hundred persona were killed, and property worth several thousand dollars was destroyed. lu every city and town in California smart men are engaged in trying to establish "a boom."

We do imt boast of mineral resources without the actual presence ol immense dcpuntl of the precious Detail; tbey are almost everywhere to be seen and have only remained un- worked because our |«ipulation is small and our means very limited. The ipening at the mines in the Selkirk range will also give I great im*H*tus towards development. There are not hss than fifty diffcruil leads so far .xplored as to afford 1 onvini ing proof of tlie presence of rich paying veins in the Sclkirks alone, and how many will in course of time lie added to this number, il is impossible to say, as this remarkable portion of the gold range is permeated with rich i|uartz from Kootenay to Big Bend. The strange part of the matter is, the slowness with which Knglish capital is attracted to this Province. It is nue lhat little is known in England about us; the strangest ideas exist there as to our whereabouts and this ignorance would no doubt have continued for some time longer had it not lieen for the extraordinary efforts of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company and their [allies the smaller speculators, such as the Vancouver landowners -who have, by paying the newspa[>ers 10 puff their lots, distributing pamphlets and maps, made the British public iware of our position, and our mineral wealth. It does not seem that our very important position as holding the gateway on the Pacific to the Dominion, las ever occurred to theni ; and the existence in British Columbia of the finest and most extensive beds of coal on the Pacific ; the richest and most easily worked iron and copper ores with the most perfect facilities for shipment anywhere to be found appears to ie but little known. We are informed that some of our valuable beds of iron have attracted attention and it is said that wealthy companies are about to work them. It is difficult to imagine a finer field for the accummulation of great fortunes than in this Province. We are lhe nearest point on this continent lo Australia, Japan, lhe East Indies and China. Shipbuilding in iron, rolling mills, nail factories, marine and other engines, boiler manufactories, and indeed every branch of trade connected with iron and copper working could be carried on in this Province at a profit, for export, setting aside the local trade which will go on increasing year by year as capital is invested in our Quartz mines. The prosecution of gold mining bas been confined to the crumbs which were gathered from the creeks and gullies where they bad been carried for ages by the water (lowing from the mountains ; they were produced by the abrasure of glaciers on the numerous quartz reefs over which they had passed in their descent to the valleys. There are still large areas where these deposits of gold have been deposited and which bear the name of placer mines, but the working of the matrix or reef, whence these deposits came, has been beyond the power of our people. These are now likely to be extensively worked, and the un doubted wealth which will be derived from the crushing of'the quart-,**, ill give this Province en: long, the reputation of a perfect Golconda. The cxtraordi nary richness of the African reefs, has recently surprised the world ; but there arc many drawbacks on the Dark Continent. In the first place, the climate is oppressively hoi, and then the cost of transporting machinery is something enormous. With us the case is entirely different. Our climate is all that could be desired, particularly by the Anglo Saxon or bis offshoots. 'The food that best suits him is close at hand, procur able at a moderate price ; water is everywhere plentiful and timber in abundance. 'The raw material to construct machinery is inexhaustible, and the distance from the British Isles requires only about fourteen or fifteen days travel, sev.n days by water and the remainder by rail. Capital is very ti'nid and requires undoubted proofs of profitable investment before it can be drawn to any particular point. This proof has not been perceptible, hitherto, in this Province. The placer diggings required very little capital to bring their wealth to the surface, and where capital was secured from abroad for this purpose, it was generally wasted, at any rate, was not remunerative. It will be a diffeient matter with the quartz reefs, which being thoroughly prospected and known to coutain material enough for many years working, will pay a hundredfold the investments and make more millionaires than the mines of California, because they are more extensive and are to be lound from one end of the country to the other. A gieat advantage to be derived li.'in milling investments in this Province om those in the United St.nc that British law is administ.-i.J licic, and barefaced swindling cannot be |icr- lictrated with impunity. Our Province is simply a continued series of mineial dejiisits and will be covered by an immense jiopulation oi buy raters in the near future. E*OREIGN AliAlks. The Irish Crimes' Bill is making a famous stalking horse from behind which the question at piesent disturbing Europe are being treated by the British Government. The more noise made about it the bettei and the more li\cd the attention of the nation the easier will lie the task of the foreign minister to carry out his diplomacy abroad. For, in spite of the most distinct assurances of i_eace, there can lie no doubt ofa general fear ol war, and that at no distant day. We have from time to time endeavored to show that a contest is deemed advisable and necessarv in the present disorganised state ol the various peoples, arising from an artificial state created by reckless competition in manufactures, rapid increase of |on what will be a popuiar war with the great mass ol the people and then, the advantages to be gained when it is carried to a successful issue. For the Russians—the most likely people to seek amelioration of their condition by war, any contest that will take them into a better country than their own, would be popular. For instance, the invasion of the Balkan principalities or 'Turkey, would meet with general favor, but such an incursion would be stoutly resisted by all the other European powers and might result in failure. Another and equally esteemed prize is Persia, and it has the advantage of only being likely to be contested by a single power and that power, F.ngland. We had the pleasure to read an excellent article in Blackwood's for this month, written by Colonel Malleson and he conclusively shows that the present designs of Russia are not directed to India; the fomenting of disorder in Afghanistan and the presence of Russian troops in the vicinity of the Ameer's dominions are simply to amuse the British while the process of absorbing Persia is going on. lt appears from his statements and he is evidently well informed, that Russia has been engaged for a number of years in preparing Persia for assimilation ; the subjects of Shah in Shah are thoroughly Rus- sianised and can be taken over at any moment. 'The country is a terrestrial paradise, rich in everything that that could make a people happy, and would be esteemed a land of Canaan by the Russians. But there are a number of strategical advantages in its position that would secure to Russia the easy conquest of 'Turkey and the ultimate conquest of India. To secure possession of the Persian (Jul. would make Russia the greatest power in the east, and mistress ol" the world. Such a wonderful destiny may well engross not only the Czar but the whole Russian people, and fully justifies the recent enormous exjienditure in constructing the trans-Caspian railway and maintaining large bodies of lroo|is in Central Asia. 'There can be now no possible doubt that for the last twenty years Russia has been gradually drawing a circle round Persia. She cribbed a considerable slice of the beautiful province of Khorassan from Persia in order to make a railway all along its borders, and sbe secured Sarahks not as a means of defining the border of Afghanistan, but to give her a strategical position to defend her conquest of Persia when everything is ready. If England had been governed by any one but ti lad- stone she never would have been per mittcd to take Sarahks, although it was obtained from Persia ; bul, Mr. Gladstone, was no doubt deep in his home rule policy and perfectly regardless of anything else. It is quite evident that the present British (Iovernment is alive tothe movements of the Muscovites, but they have secured a vantage ground which it may cost England many great sacrifices to take from them. Persia may yet be the scene of the greatest, struggle of modem times. There is nothing Squat to Mothi-i- Urate.' Worm Kxtcnninator for -t#-_KnJ.ng w.irms.

Ill regard to capacity, tlu-y would be capable of coiiveyiug fully '2,0UO men, whom they could laud at Ituiuliay, via the Suez Canal, in 14 days, or via the ('ape in '_■_'j days. Their coal capacity would be such that at a cruising speed they oould probably keep the sea for A long period, probably not less than three mouths.

Taking those matters into conatdoration, therefore, tho protwr oon elusion to an ive at is thnt there will be ir serious trouble unless something unexpected happens. Of course the unexpected very often does happen hut then it is time enough to bid a certain gentleman good day when you meet him. ■ ireat exertions are already being m nie to •tenure tho re-nomination of ('resident Cleveland even at this early stage ofthe political campaign and the appointments to oltiue are judiciously made witn thi-* view.

A remarkable state of things has come to light on the Pennsylvania railroad and its dependencies. In the past ten yeais up wards of #250,000 worth of propel t \ ban lieen lost on the road and never a clue to the robbers found until last week though detectivos have been dilligeutly at work. The property lost, nr rather stolen, included every known article of commerce except a coflBn and a blacksmith's anvil. It Included a silver communion service, which was found lately on the table of a brukeman, who bad 1-orrowed it from another brake man, to celebrate a christening. It appear-* that some of the conductors, firemen, and hrakemen, all along the line from Pit tslnu ■_■, Pennsylvania, to Columbus, Ohio, had formed tnemsclvc. into a gang, and robbing the freight cars right and left distributed t he plunder among themselves. Sixty of the confederates were arrested yesterday, and their houses searched. The article* lound would freight a whole train. On the persons nf every one of them wero discovered more or less pawn tickets. And one of the persons stated that they had disposed of the stolen goods to ''fences** all along the line, all of whom will be arres'-ed. Lord Lanadowne is now in almo.-t ns precarious a position as the Onr of all the KushiaH. Some ofthe papers in Canada, copying from the Irish papers, anrl improv- ing upon them, furnish details of the cvic- tions ou his Irish estates and the horrors that accompanied theni until the blood almost boiled with indignation, nnd threatening letters formed the principal portion of His Excellency'.-* mail. Detectives have been detailed to guard his person around the Oovernment House, and when he is travelling all conceivable precautions are adopted to guard against assassination. For tbe first time in Canadian history the public ia to be excluded from the Stmate gallery at the opening of Parliament, and tbe Ottawa chief of police is anxiously ou the watch for dynamite. Do nut be at all -jrprised, therefore, to bear pretty soon that a few Irish-Americans have beeu arrested in the Dominion capital.

The historian ol his iuuugural juurueys writes : "By his every spi-'ech, at every stuuc of his journeys, ho was lifting men above the sph-re of party polities and pergonal preferences iuto that of political luty and the broadest statesmanship."

Mr. Lincoln, in the first of his state papers, after expressing his opinions on the different points of controversy, proceeded to plead with those, who loved the Union : 'I hold that in contemplation of universal law, and of the Constitution, the union of the States is perpetual. Perpetuity is implied if not expressed in the fundamental law of all national Covcrnment. It in safe to assert that no government proper ever had a provision in iti organic law for its own termination. No State, out of its own men notii.n, oan lawfully get out ofthe Union.

The \ ienua correspondent of the.S>ifW",./, in hi* dispatch recently, says:—"In the opinion of competent observers the Kuropean situation has undergone a change for the worse, nnd, to iny own knowledge, the political designs of Russia give rise just now in oonsidenbU anxiety in responsible circles in Yicnna. It is li'sld by some that the attacks ou Prance m the Berlin Press have no other object than to make an impression to St. Petersburg, whei-c the real danger lies. A report in the Paris Figaro ot sn interview between one of its correspondents and Baron-lomini has accentuated this uneasiness as to the designs of Russia. Joinini was it tbe Foreign Ofiice under Prince Oortchakoff when M.
