I JB..P. RUSSELL'S PATENT. FRANCIS MELIUS, HAVING purchased the patent right of the above . valuable invention, for the purpose of supply- :, tig the comities of Los Angeles, San Bernardino nnd San Diego, is now prepared ta execute all orders with which he may be favored. The public are aware tbat it has been the study of scientific men, architects and builders, for many years to discover an article for Roofing purposes, that will withstand sudden changes ot climate, be impervious to water, and of sure protection against fire. The inventor »f this roofing labored many years to com- line articles which would answer tbe above purpose ■wid obriatc the difficulties of rust and decay attendant upon tin and shingles, and the destruction by tbe sun and frost, of the various compositions used tor rooting. This he succeeded in doing, and now, atter six years oh the severest trial we would invite the careful attention of all interested in such matters, believing that they will be fully convinced of its practical value both for durability and economy, in which respects we believe tbat it3 equal is not at present known. Tliis roofing can readily be applied to roofs of every description, either steep or flat, and can be put on over shingles or tin, being much cheaper than the first and at half the cost ot the latter. Two coats of the mastic put on over an old leaky tin roof, will make it as good as new at one-third of the cost. In preparing this roofing a heavy drilling or canvass is used, which is thoroughly saturated with a perfectly water proof preparation, alter which it receives a thick coating, upon bolb sides, of the flour of soapstone, which sets into the texture ofthe canvass, and gives it a firm body, making it very elastic and durable. After the canvass, as prepared, is put upon the roof, another coating ot mastic, which is thoroughly filled with sand, is given it. making it fireproof in every respect. By exposure, this coating becomes firm and solid, giving you a roof that can be walked upon with perfect impunity, and as durable as anything known; and we do most candidly and unhesitatingly believe, far superior to anything of the kind yet discovered; and after a severe test of many years, stand as reliable and good as when first put on, without change or decay. All that we ask is, that a careful examination may be given it, and we feel convinced that it will bear all the recommendation which we offer of it. Annexed we give you the names of some of the persons using this roofing, and to whom we are at libei ty to refer: REFERENCES. !>"" HO.STON.—Union (.lla^Co, Kilbynt.; American Brass Tube Co. 105 State st,: C. liver, arrliitottt, 40 State nt: Ho- -vey&O. 7 .Merchants rotv: H.

Db*r Sir—In reply to your enquiry respecting tbe imprisonment of J. J. Warner, at San Diego, during tbe late war with Mexico, and the opera tions in this country, I have to state, that in the autumn of 18l(i, b-jing .military commandant of the Southern Department of the Territory of Cali- fornia, and having the direction of the lield. with my headquarters at Sau Diego, I there made the acquaintance ot Mr. Warner ; however, not until a long time, after his presence had been desired and expected at tbat place, as it had been noticed upon the arrival ofthe U. S. torces at Sau Diego, in July and August, that he had not appeared amongst our countrymen, to unite with us, even by his approval, in the acquisition of California. Mr. Warner being au American by birth, no one could possibly suspect him of acting a treacherous part towards his countrymen; consequently, he came and went irom the camp without any mterrup tion whatever, until, finally, when we were making preparations, in November and December, for the march upon Los Angeles,- Mr. Warner's visits became more frequent and his stay shorter, which, being remarked, it was discovered that he bad given expression of feelings opposed to the war ; had denounced the President. Mr. Polk ; had deprecated the acquisition of*California by tbeU. S. arms; had excited the Californians against us, and was really carrying information ofour movements lo the enemy ' had driven horses, mules and cattle near to the Californian forces and Into the mountains, to prevent their falling into the bauds of my foraging parties: this, too, when he knew his countrymen very much needed subsistence aud transportation. . These charges, having been officially reported. I was obliged to order the arrest of Mr. Warner, and held bim a prisoner until compassion induced his release by superior orders. The fueling o( the troops nnd citizens against Mr. Warner was Very strong; his release caused great murmuring, aud had any opportunity offered be could not have escaped summary proceedings at tlieir hands. For myself. I was greatly pained at the unfortunate situation of Mr. Warner, ns I felt thai, his early political prejudices—having ever been violently opposed to the Democratic party—had much to do with his actions at that time. Deeply regretting that these circumstances could not bave beeu permitted to remain buried in the grave of time. I am, dear sir, very respectfully, your obt..-ervt. ARCH'D H. GILLESPIE.

II.Day This elegant magazine is illustrated with a lithograph of Peter Lassen, one of the early set tiers of California, of whom it gives a brief history ; also, an illustration of the 'iargestoriole," accompanied by a description from the able pen of A. J. Grayson. The other papers are interesting and well-written. We are glad to see the Hesperian giving such tokens of stability as is evidenced by its long list of contributors. The neit number will he the beginning of a new volume, and all should subscribe for this ably conducted and rapidly improving magazine. W. -July. Rev The Pacific Expositor—No. A. Scott, editor. In the words of the Rev. Doctor, "The Pacific Expositor is to be devoted to the exposition of God's word, and the preaching of the gospel, according to the standards of our church. We wish to do, by the press, for our fellow man, just what we do for Calvary congregation, every Sabbath ; that is, to expound, explain, and preach to them the wcrd of the living God." Such is tbe object ofthe monthly periodical now before us ; and being conducted by the Rev. gentleman named, there is abundant assurance that its pages will contain much profitable and instructive reading matter. The bare announcement of a periodical, under such distinguished care, will at once command theaup- port ot the whole religious community with whom Dr. Scott jis connected, and indeed, of the public generally. Geo, \V. Stevens, S&n Francisco; 50 pp. $'1 per annum. "Family Circle."—A new paper, '"devoted to the investigation of the spiritual phenomena and progress," has been commenced in Stxn Francisco, by Messrs. L. W. Ranson and W. H. Manning. It contains a great deal of matter, interesting to believers in spiritualism; relates several "acts of healing" in San Francisco, which would lead us to believe that "the age of miracleB" either had not ceased, or had returned. The paper ia very handsomely printed, and will no doubt be a welcome guest in the families of the new faith. "The Craft."—We find numerous candidates (or favor, appealing for support tothe professorB of the "art preservative of all arts"—all of which are neatly printed, of course, and ably conducted. We find on our table "The Printer," New York. devoted to tbe interests of the Typographical Union, and the craft generally; "Printer's News Letter," co-operating in the same field of labor j the "Typographical Advertiser," Philadelphia, and "The Electrotyper," New York, intended as advertising Ebeets, for the newest designs in the arious branches of wood engraving, elecUotyping. listings, t£c. T.ntct- from Kuropti. The Emperor Napoleon has decided that the French army and navy shall oerestored toa peace footing without the least possible delay. He is now generally regarded as sincere, and his intentions pacillc. The English Cabinet has announced that the invitation to participate in the Congress of the great powers, won Ift not b« accepted until the result of the Conference at Zurich has been ascertained. The advics from Italy are peaceful, Tbe debate in the English Parliament indicates the intention of the government to vigorously prosecute the work upon the national defences. The American horse Starke, entered by Mr. Ten Brock for the Goodwood race, has won tbe stakes; the Gontlwt.od cup was carried off hy Promised Land. The American mare Prioress came in third. The Independent Beige says that the Austrian Provisional councils will be convoked soon, and will have complete liberty in their deliberations, and may make known openly and sincerely to the Emperor, the wishes of their populations.' The first corps d'armee for the present in Italy on a war footing, two hundred thousand strong.— The other corps d'annee are to go to their former cantonments in Gallicia'and Hungary. The official Piedmontese Gazette says that the new ministry will not produce any serious variations in the policy ot Sardinia. Great Britain.—The Parliamentary proceedings on the 27th were unimportant. On tlie 28th, iu the House of Commons, Lord Paget said experiments were progressing to test the practicability of laying a submarine telegraph to Gibraltar. The Sardinian Governors of Modena have been withdrawn, and the government turned over to the Municipality. The results of the deliberations of the annexation of Tuscany to Piedmont had been made known at one hundred and forty-one places including Leghorn and Florence. There were 800 affirmative and only 15 negative votes. Le Nord desires that the French troops are to remain in tho Duchies. A Milan letter says that the extreme party are commencing agitation, and an insurrection in Ve- netta is possble. The Invalids Rus.se says that Austria and France may make whatever treaties they please, but in fixing the lot of Italy tbey are bound to ask the concurrence of the rest of Europe. Lord John Russell made his statement relative to foreign affairs. He would have postponed it, if there had been any prospect of being able to announce a definite settlement ofthe aflairs of the Continent before tlie close ofthe session. He was glad to see in the Monitew; that the Emperor of France had determined to place the army and navy on a peace footing. After reviewing the grounds of peace as proclaimed by the two Emperors, he said as England did not interfere iu the war, he did not think it was for her to interfere in the peace. The sacriSce of a province by Austria did not affect the state of affairs of Europe enfn ciently to warrant the interference. The most important part ofthe treaty, however, related to (he future of Italy; and lbe invitation ofNapoleon to England to enter tbe Congress, was to consult on the actual state of affiairs of Italy, quite irrespective ot the terms of the treaty of Villa franca: England had not consented to join the Congress, aud contd not until she saw the result of the con lerence at Zurich. The treaty ot Villafranca did not absolutely lay down any Italian confederation, but only that tbe Emperors would unite to promote one.— lie doubted the feasibility of the benefit ofa confederation nt present, and pointed out the various obstacles to the consummation of such a project. Again, England must kuow how it was proposed to carry out the treaty before joining the Congress; especially with respect to (he restoration of the Dukes of Tuscany and Modena, as England could never be a parly to forcing them on the people without their consent. lie rejoiced to say that the King of Naples was beginning to put an end to the system which prevailed under tbe late King, and sincerely desired to terminate altogether. There Was a treaty about to be made in Vienna, whither a confidential agent of the French Goverment had gone to arrange the basis. He believed that the Emperor of Austria desires that the Italians should have self-government. He could not now say whether there wouhl be a Congress but be thought it would not become England now to say that she would withdraw from such an assembly if there was a chance of promoting liberty iu Italy, aud establishing the peace of Europe. Mr. D'Israeli expressed a wish that Lord John Russeli had been more explicit, particularly as to any terms that may have been afforded Austria hy the neutral powers. He reiterated his objections to England having anything to do with the conference, as she would thereby be bound by th« treaty of Villa Franca. Lord Palmerston denied that England had submitted any terms to Austria, which were less favorable than those obfained from France. The Government, at the request of the French Embassador, had consented to be the channel of communication, and bad submitted some terms to Autria, but at the same time distinctly stating they were the views of tbe French Government, and lhat England gave no advice or opinion in the matter. It would be impossible for the Government to join in the Congress until tbe result ofthe Zurich conference ib known. Mr. Whitehead said that the government had been made a cata-paw of, and by transmitting terms to Austria, virtually assented Io them. Mr. Gladstone eulogized the conduct of Sardinia; defendended Lord Palmerston from the misrepresentations brought against him, and besought the House not to interfere between the executive in whatever manner it might itself be able to adopt for the interest of Italy, and the permaneHt we'fare of Europe. After speeches by other members the subject was dropped. On tbe 29th, the proceedings iu the House of Lords was uninteresting. In the House of Commons sundry questions were put to Ihe Government", on the subject, of naval armaments and national defenses. Lord Palmerston said he did not think it possible for Englai d to enter into any agreement with the other powers for ao arithmetical reduction of her military and naval establishments, her position being totally different. Mr. Horsman movetl a resolution that the expenses of completing the work of defense be met by a fund especially provided for the purpose.— Independent of parliamentary votes, he urged continued armaments, and suggested a loan to complete the defenses. Mr. Sidney Herbert and Lord Palmerston objected to the proposition, but both eaid tliat tbe Government was fully alive to the importance of completing the defenses of" Ihe country, and promised vigorous action in the matter. Mr. Cobden deprecated this unnatural alarm as an actual incentive to wur, and ridiculed the idea of an invasion hy France. He hoped lhat explanations would be entered info between Ibe two Governments. After such explanations had be<*m made and tried, ho would, if necessary, be ready to vote two hundred millions ot pounds to pro. vide a navy superior to France, although he showed that the English navy was greatly superior now. Presidency of the Holy Father the Pope. The Emperor of Austria cedes to the Emperor of France his ri^ht in Lombardv, excepting the fortress of Mantua and Peschiera, which rights tho Emperor of France will hand orcr to the King of Sardinia. Venifia forms part of the Italian Confederation, but remains under lbe crown of ytu?tria. Tho Dukes of Tuscany and Modena return ntufcr the condition of granting a new amut'sty. Both Emperors will ask the Pope to introduce indispt-nsi- ble reforms. A full nnd complete amnesty is lo be granted to all the people. The corvette Plymouth arrived at Davenport on the 23d ult. The ship Aclna, from Calcutta for London, has been lost at sea, and twenty of her crew and passengers were drowned, Mr. Raymond, writing from Lonibardy, pays the following compliment to some of his countrymen ; I do not believe that any (ire company, or body of New York volunteers ever went out for a (tingle day on a target excursion without exhibiting more "rowdyism'' than the whole French uriny has shown during the whole of tlie Italian campaign. Killed nr a Woman.—A. notorious ruffian, known in Southwestern Arkansas as Jack Cudc, was recently killed by a woman whose husband ho had shot. The widow challenged him to light n duel, and as the ruffian declined, she attacked him with a revolver and lodged three balls in his body, one of which ptifised through his heart. "WlCKBD AND CoRRUl'T AnMISISTKATlON."—Tllit is the tune, says the Indiana State Journal, whieh all the Republican organs aro playing. The Federalists commenced it under Jefferson's administration. With great unction they pronounced it wicked and corrupt." Jefferson they declared was an infidel—a Jacobin—and they said fie would certainly ruin the country. The political descendants of the opposition to the Democracy in Jefferson's day, now known as Republicans, Americans, Know Nothings, Anti-Lecomptouites, or Opposition, are now busily engaged in singing hosannas to the great apostle of the Democracy. What fools or hypocrites! This threadbare cbarg"e of "wicked and corrupt" has been applied by the Opposition to every Democratic administration. But under Democratic rule the country bas enlarged her borders and prospered in nn unexampled degree. Iu the fact? of these charges, tho people, too, have manifested their confidence in the integrity and administrative ability or tho Democratic parly by continuing it in power, with a few short intervals, since the "organization of tho Government. The charge of "wicked and corrupt administration," comes with an ill grace from a party whose leader, Sew$rd. has voted for every extravagant appropriation which has been presented to Congress since he has been a member, and whose bosom friend, Maltison, another Republican leader, bad "corruption" proven upon him. Whatever of "extravagance, wickedness or corruption" can be charged to any Democratic administration can be traced to opposition origin Uuctintitui not a Camlldntc. PiTTsriURo. July 30.—The following letter from President Buchanan was received this morning by Hon. Wilson McCandlesst. Bedford, Pa., July 25, 1859. Mr DeUB Sir I I received your kind note of tha 19th inst., with a leader from the Pfst, and, whilst ship displayed in the editorial, I yet regret that it bas been published. "My determination not to. under any circumstances, become a candidate for re-election ia final and conclusive. My best judgment nud strong inclinations unite in favor of tbis course. To cast doubt upon my predetermined purpose is calculated to impair my influence iu currying on important measures, and afford a pretext for saying lhat they have been dictated by a desire to bo renominated. "With the kindest regard.";, ka.,1 remain, sincerely nnd respectfully, your friend, "James Buchanan." Tbe New Orleans correspondent of the Charleston Courier, says tbat Bishop Polk has succeeded in getting ten gentlemen of his Diocese of tbo Episcopal Church to subscribe three hundred thousand dollar.' towards tho establishment of the great Southen University. Ex-Governor Johnson, of Louisiana, has subscribed $-10,000.

I JB..P. RUSSELL'S PATENT. FRANCIS MELIUS, HAVING purchased the patent right of the above . valuable invention, for the purpose of supply- :, tig the comities of Los Angeles, San Bernardino nnd San Diego, is now prepared ta execute all orders with which he may be favored. The public are aware tbat it has been the study of scientific men, architects and builders, for many years to discover an article for Roofing purposes, that will withstand sudden changes ot climate, be impervious to water, and of sure protection against fire. The inventor »f this roofing labored many years to com- line articles which would answer tbe above purpose ■wid obriatc the difficulties of rust and decay attendant upon tin and shingles, and the destruction by tbe sun and frost, of the various compositions used tor rooting. This he succeeded in doing, and now, atter six years oh the severest trial we would invite the careful attention of all interested in such matters, believing that they will be fully convinced of its practical value both for durability and economy, in which respects we believe tbat it3 equal is not at present known. Tliis roofing can readily be applied to roofs of every description, either steep or flat, and can be put on over shingles or tin, being much cheaper than the first and at half the cost ot the latter. Two coats of the mastic put on over an old leaky tin roof, will make it as good as new at one-third of the cost. In preparing this roofing a heavy drilling or canvass is used, which is thoroughly saturated with a perfectly water proof preparation, alter which it receives a thick coating, upon bolb sides, of the flour of soapstone, which sets into the texture ofthe canvass, and gives it a firm body, making it very elastic and durable. After the canvass, as prepared, is put upon the roof, another coating ot mastic, which is thoroughly filled with sand, is given it. making it fireproof in every respect. By exposure, this coating becomes firm and solid, giving you a roof that can be walked upon with perfect impunity, and as durable as anything known; and we do most candidly and unhesitatingly believe, far superior to anything of the kind yet discovered; and after a severe test of many years, stand as reliable and good as when first put on, without change or decay. All that we ask is, that a careful examination may be given it, and we feel convinced that it will bear all the recommendation which we offer of it. Annexed we give you the names of some of the persons using this roofing, and to whom we are at libei ty to refer: REFERENCES. !>"" HO.STON.—Union (.lla^Co, Kilbynt.; American Brass Tube Co. 105 State st,: C. liver, arrliitottt, 40 State nt: Ho- -vey&O. 7 .Merchants rotv: H.

Db*r Sir—In reply to your enquiry respecting tbe imprisonment of J. J. Warner, at San Diego, during tbe late war with Mexico, and the opera tions in this country, I have to state, that in the autumn of 18l(i, b-jing .military commandant of the Southern Department of the Territory of Cali- fornia, and having the direction of the lield. with my headquarters at Sau Diego, I there made the acquaintance ot Mr. Warner ; however, not until a long time, after his presence had been desired and expected at tbat place, as it had been noticed upon the arrival ofthe U. S. torces at Sau Diego, in July and August, that he had not appeared amongst our countrymen, to unite with us, even by his approval, in the acquisition of California. Mr. Warner being au American by birth, no one could possibly suspect him of acting a treacherous part towards his countrymen; consequently, he came and went irom the camp without any mterrup tion whatever, until, finally, when we were making preparations, in November and December, for the march upon Los Angeles,- Mr. Warner's visits became more frequent and his stay shorter, which, being remarked, it was discovered that he bad given expression of feelings opposed to the war ; had denounced the President. Mr. Polk ; had deprecated the acquisition of*California by tbeU. S. arms; had excited the Californians against us, and was really carrying information ofour movements lo the enemy ' had driven horses, mules and cattle near to the Californian forces and Into the mountains, to prevent their falling into the bauds of my foraging parties: this, too, when he knew his countrymen very much needed subsistence aud transportation. . These charges, having been officially reported. I was obliged to order the arrest of Mr. Warner, and held bim a prisoner until compassion induced his release by superior orders. The fueling o( the troops nnd citizens against Mr. Warner was Very strong; his release caused great murmuring, aud had any opportunity offered be could not have escaped summary proceedings at tlieir hands. For myself. I was greatly pained at the unfortunate situation of Mr. Warner, ns I felt thai, his early political prejudices—having ever been violently opposed to the Democratic party—had much to do with his actions at that time. Deeply regretting that these circumstances could not bave beeu permitted to remain buried in the grave of time. I am, dear sir, very respectfully, your obt..-ervt. ARCH'D H. GILLESPIE.

In the words of the Rev. Doctor, "The Pacific Expositor is to be devoted to the exposition of God's word, and the preaching of the gospel, according to the standards of our church. We wish to do, by the press, for our fellow man, just what we do for Calvary congregation, every Sabbath ; that is, to expound, explain, and preach to them the wcrd of the living God." Such is tbe object ofthe monthly periodical now before us ; and being conducted by the Rev. gentleman named, there is abundant assurance that its pages will contain much profitable and instructive reading matter. The bare announcement of a periodical, under such distinguished care, will at once command theaup- port ot the whole religious community with whom Dr. Scott jis connected, and indeed, of the public generally. Geo, \V. Stevens, S&n Francisco; 50 pp. $'1 per annum. "Family Circle."—A new paper, '"devoted to the investigation of the spiritual phenomena and progress," has been commenced in Stxn Francisco, by Messrs. L. W. Ranson and W. H. Manning. It contains a great deal of matter, interesting to believers in spiritualism; relates several "acts of healing" in San Francisco, which would lead us to believe that "the age of miracleB" either had not ceased, or had returned. The paper ia very handsomely printed, and will no doubt be a welcome guest in the families of the new faith. "The Craft."—We find numerous candidates (or favor, appealing for support tothe professorB of the "art preservative of all arts"—all of which are neatly printed, of course, and ably conducted. We find on our table "The Printer," New York. devoted to tbe interests of the Typographical Union, and the craft generally; "Printer's News Letter," co-operating in the same field of labor j the "Typographical Advertiser," Philadelphia, and "The Electrotyper," New York, intended as advertising Ebeets, for the newest designs in the arious branches of wood engraving, elecUotyping. listings, t£c. T.ntct- from Kuropti. The Emperor Napoleon has decided that the French army and navy shall oerestored toa peace footing without the least possible delay. He is now generally regarded as sincere, and his intentions pacillc. The English Cabinet has announced that the invitation to participate in the Congress of the great powers, won Ift not b« accepted until the result of the Conference at Zurich has been ascertained. The advics from Italy are peaceful, Tbe debate in the English Parliament indicates the intention of the government to vigorously prosecute the work upon the national defences. The American horse Starke, entered by Mr. Ten Brock for the Goodwood race, has won tbe stakes; the Gontlwt.od cup was carried off hy Promised Land. The American mare Prioress came in third. The Independent Beige says that the Austrian Provisional councils will be convoked soon, and will have complete liberty in their deliberations, and may make known openly and sincerely to the Emperor, the wishes of their populations.' The first corps d'armee for the present in Italy on a war footing, two hundred thousand strong.— The other corps d'annee are to go to their former cantonments in Gallicia'and Hungary. The official Piedmontese Gazette says that the new ministry will not produce any serious variations in the policy ot Sardinia. Great Britain.—The Parliamentary proceedings on the 27th were unimportant. On tlie 28th, iu the House of Commons, Lord Paget said experiments were progressing to test the practicability of laying a submarine telegraph to Gibraltar. The Sardinian Governors of Modena have been withdrawn, and the government turned over to the Municipality. The results of the deliberations of the annexation of Tuscany to Piedmont had been made known at one hundred and forty-one places including Leghorn and Florence. There were 800 affirmative and only 15 negative votes. Le Nord desires that the French troops are to remain in tho Duchies. A Milan letter says that the extreme party are commencing agitation, and an insurrection in Ve- netta is possble. The Invalids Rus.se says that Austria and France may make whatever treaties they please, but in fixing the lot of Italy tbey are bound to ask the concurrence of the rest of Europe. Lord John Russell made his statement relative to foreign affairs. He would have postponed it, if there had been any prospect of being able to announce a definite settlement ofthe aflairs of the Continent before tlie close ofthe session. He was glad to see in the Monitew; that the Emperor of France had determined to place the army and navy on a peace footing. After reviewing the grounds of peace as proclaimed by the two Emperors, he said as England did not interfere iu the war, he did not think it was for her to interfere in the peace. The sacriSce of a province by Austria did not affect the state of affairs of Europe enfn ciently to warrant the interference. The most important part ofthe treaty, however, related to (he future of Italy; and lbe invitation ofNapoleon to England to enter tbe Congress, was to consult on the actual state of affiairs of Italy, quite irrespective ot the terms of the treaty of Villa franca: England had not consented to join the Congress, aud contd not until she saw the result of the con lerence at Zurich. The treaty ot Villafranca did not absolutely lay down any Italian confederation, but only that tbe Emperors would unite to promote one.— lie doubted the feasibility of the benefit ofa confederation nt present, and pointed out the various obstacles to the consummation of such a project. Again, England must kuow how it was proposed to carry out the treaty before joining the Congress; especially with respect to (he restoration of the Dukes of Tuscany and Modena, as England could never be a parly to forcing them on the people without their consent. lie rejoiced to say that the King of Naples was beginning to put an end to the system which prevailed under tbe late King, and sincerely desired to terminate altogether. There Was a treaty about to be made in Vienna, whither a confidential agent of the French Goverment had gone to arrange the basis. He believed that the Emperor of Austria desires that the Italians should have self-government. He could not now say whether there wouhl be a Congress but be thought it would not become England now to say that she would withdraw from such an assembly if there was a chance of promoting liberty iu Italy, aud establishing the peace of Europe. Mr. D'Israeli expressed a wish that Lord John Russeli had been more explicit, particularly as to any terms that may have been afforded Austria hy the neutral powers. He reiterated his objections to England having anything to do with the conference, as she would thereby be bound by th« treaty of Villa Franca. Lord Palmerston denied that England had submitted any terms to Austria, which were less favorable than those obfained from France. The Government, at the request of the French Embassador, had consented to be the channel of communication, and bad submitted some terms to Autria, but at the same time distinctly stating they were the views of tbe French Government, and lhat England gave no advice or opinion in the matter. It would be impossible for the Government to join in the Congress until tbe result ofthe Zurich conference ib known. Mr. Whitehead said that the government had been made a cata-paw of, and by transmitting terms to Austria, virtually assented Io them. Mr. Gladstone eulogized the conduct of Sardinia; defendended Lord Palmerston from the misrepresentations brought against him, and besought the House not to interfere between the executive in whatever manner it might itself be able to adopt for the interest of Italy, and the permaneHt we'fare of Europe. After speeches by other members the subject was dropped. On tbe 29th, the proceedings iu the House of Lords was uninteresting. In the House of Commons sundry questions were put to Ihe Government", on the subject, of naval armaments and national defenses. Lord Palmerston said he did not think it possible for Englai d to enter into any agreement with the other powers for ao arithmetical reduction of her military and naval establishments, her position being totally different. Mr. Horsman movetl a resolution that the expenses of completing the work of defense be met by a fund especially provided for the purpose.— Independent of parliamentary votes, he urged continued armaments, and suggested a loan to complete the defenses. Mr. Sidney Herbert and Lord Palmerston objected to the proposition, but both eaid tliat tbe Government was fully alive to the importance of completing the defenses of" Ihe country, and promised vigorous action in the matter. Mr. Cobden deprecated this unnatural alarm as an actual incentive to wur, and ridiculed the idea of an invasion hy France. He hoped lhat explanations would be entered info between Ibe two Governments. After such explanations had be<*m made and tried, ho would, if necessary, be ready to vote two hundred millions ot pounds to pro. vide a navy superior to France, although he showed that the English navy was greatly superior now. Presidency of the Holy Father the Pope. The Emperor of Austria cedes to the Emperor of France his ri^ht in Lombardv, excepting the fortress of Mantua and Peschiera, which rights tho Emperor of France will hand orcr to the King of Sardinia. Venifia forms part of the Italian Confederation, but remains under lbe crown of ytu?tria. Tho Dukes of Tuscany and Modena return ntufcr the condition of granting a new amut'sty. Both Emperors will ask the Pope to introduce indispt-nsi- ble reforms. A full nnd complete amnesty is lo be granted to all the people. The corvette Plymouth arrived at Davenport on the 23d ult. The ship Aclna, from Calcutta for London, has been lost at sea, and twenty of her crew and passengers were drowned, Mr. Raymond, writing from Lonibardy, pays the following compliment to some of his countrymen ; I do not believe that any (ire company, or body of New York volunteers ever went out for a (tingle day on a target excursion without exhibiting more "rowdyism'' than the whole French uriny has shown during the whole of tlie Italian campaign. Killed nr a Woman.—A. notorious ruffian, known in Southwestern Arkansas as Jack Cudc, was recently killed by a woman whose husband ho had shot. The widow challenged him to light n duel, and as the ruffian declined, she attacked him with a revolver and lodged three balls in his body, one of which ptifised through his heart. "WlCKBD AND CoRRUl'T AnMISISTKATlON."—Tllit is the tune, says the Indiana State Journal, whieh all the Republican organs aro playing. The Federalists commenced it under Jefferson's administration. With great unction they pronounced it wicked and corrupt." Jefferson they declared was an infidel—a Jacobin—and they said fie would certainly ruin the country. The political descendants of the opposition to the Democracy in Jefferson's day, now known as Republicans, Americans, Know Nothings, Anti-Lecomptouites, or Opposition, are now busily engaged in singing hosannas to the great apostle of the Democracy. What fools or hypocrites! This threadbare cbarg"e of "wicked and corrupt" has been applied by the Opposition to every Democratic administration. But under Democratic rule the country bas enlarged her borders and prospered in nn unexampled degree. Iu the fact? of these charges, tho people, too, have manifested their confidence in the integrity and administrative ability or tho Democratic parly by continuing it in power, with a few short intervals, since the "organization of tho Government. The charge of "wicked and corrupt administration," comes with an ill grace from a party whose leader, Sew$rd. has voted for every extravagant appropriation which has been presented to Congress since he has been a member, and whose bosom friend, Maltison, another Republican leader, bad "corruption" proven upon him. Whatever of "extravagance, wickedness or corruption" can be charged to any Democratic administration can be traced to opposition origin Uuctintitui not a Camlldntc. PiTTsriURo.

"My determination not to. under any circumstances, become a candidate for re-election ia final and conclusive. My best judgment nud strong inclinations unite in favor of tbis course.
