,‘r‘nriigu Slime. ARRIVAL. OF THE KANGAROO. New Yonx, Jan. 8. The Kangroo and Arabia have arrived. The latter left Liverool at 9. 30 a. m., on the 24th ult. The Vigo left Liverpool r for Philip delpliia- on the 23rd ult. The Circassian arriVed at Galway on the 22nd. She had on board the crew of the ship Modal, from St. John, for Liverpool, which was abandoned at sea. The report that the Pope had claimed the Presidency of the Congress for his Plenipotentiary is unfoundered. Prince Gortschakolf had. expressed a desire that the opening of the Congress should take place alter the commencement of the New Year, January 13th, as he will be detained on that day at his-Court by the duties of his office. Court Advidor the representative of the Republic of San Marino, at Paris, had presented a memorandum to Court Wale- wski, addressed to the future Congrezs, protesting against encroachments on Plaid-- most. The nomination of the Maruis Anvor- gne, formarly Ambassador of the Franch, at Turin, as 2nd French Plenipotentiary, at the Congress, gave great satisfaction to the friends of Italy. A Paris dispatch of the 22nd says that the French Government had telegraph to the Powers concerned that the opening of Congress would not take place before the 1.9th of January. GREAT BRITAIN The London Hemch had announced. that a complete reform bill is to appear in the Constitutional Press Magazine, and in the event of the postponement: of the ministerial reform bill of its proving un- acceptable to the Constitutional party, the bill to be published will be brought immediately before the House of Com- mons. Lord Palmerston had been making speeches highly eulogistic of the volunteer movement. The Great Britain was spoken on the 14th Dec All were well strengthened the the com‘iction that the report of her hav- ing foundered was a base hoax. Lord John Russel tells the memorialists relative to Mexico that England is. en- deayoring to come to an undeistanding with the other Powers, in respect to the course to pursue. He points out the difficulty ot'tbe United States, rec0gnizing one President, and England and France another. The wife of J. H. Gurney, member of Parliau’ient, had eloped with one of the family domestics. The lady is possessed of half a million sterling in her own right. The Belgian Govermnent has agreed to forward its mails for Canada and the United States by the Canadian steamers as well as Cunard’s, audit was supposed that German .l’mtal league would: adOpt similar arrangements. FRANCE E. A pamphlet entitled ‘ The Pope and the Congress,’ .igned by M. De. Lagiierronier has been published, and attracts great atâ€" tention both in France and England, as it was believed to express the sentiments of the Emperor. The pamphlet is written in a spirit of conciliation and compromise, and although it does not prOpose to take away the temporal Power: of the Pope itJ advocates a curtailment of them, and urges that the Romagna should not be restored to the papal denominations. The Times says: \Ve leave others to cart] on forms and ceremonies. Enough for us if there is a reasonable hope that the great Ititropean powers will be found side by side in defence of the rights of the Italian people, and that Protestant England will find a hearty and ellicient support in the Emperor of Roman Cath- olic France. SPAIN AND MOROCCO. A Madrid telegram 01 Dec. 21 says that yesterday 800- Moors attacked the Spanish, but were repulsed energetically and compelled to retreat in great disorder caused by grape shot and grenades. The Spanish had 51 wounded. Ten men of war, formerly stationed at Havna, havejust arrived to re-enforce the squadron at Algesirss. A great quantity ofpiovisions had been dispatched to the army in Africa. The Catholic laity in Ireland are begin- ning to find themselves in a position, the difficulties of which are daily increasing. When the Italian war broke out, the avow- ed hostility of the English Ministry to Napoleon’s enterprise led most of them in- to an enthusiastic support of the whole movement, and the feeling rose to fervor, when there appeared a probability of tracing the descent of McMahon. of Ma- genta, back to the h‘IcMahon’s of Limer- ick. The failure of the French Marshal to produce his fartiin papers, though it disappointed the “ Mayoress” 0f the City of the Violated Treaty, did not abate the natural enthusiasm for the French army, when it began to be bruited abroad thatl Louis Napoleon would next turn it againstI England. “ 'l he French” once more “were 'oining,” and a large number of the Irish Liberals indulged in visions of the future, in which the comfort of the: Anglo-Saxon did not form a prominentl feature. The clergy during the most of this time held their peace. They did not approve of the Italian rising against Aus- tria, for the simple reason that the Emper or of Austria is a much better Catholic than the mass of his Italian subjects are, but they had strong hopes that Louis Na poleon would bring the Pope out of the convu'sion without any damage to his sovereignty, This hepe was strengthened by the peace of Villafranca. as by that at. , LOUIS NAPOLEON IN IRELAND.) rangement His Holiness was elevated to a pitch of moral. or, at least, of temporal dignity, as President of the Confederation which he had not before occupied since the peace of lVestplialia. Matters remained in this state until the Emperor’s reply to the Cardinal Arch- bishop of Bordeaux began to excite fears that he was about to leonnive at the revolt of the Bolognese and the annexation of Romagna to Sardinia. These apprehen- sions have received a fresh stimulus from the permiSsion accorded. to B-uoncompagni to include the rebellious province in blast regencyâ€"an act which the clergy regard “ as an unmistakable recognition oftbe re- volutionary authority.” And in the lan- guage 'of’a letter recently published in the Irish journals from. a. person occupying a high position at Rome :. “To the Emperorâ€"we say it with re- gretâ€"-and to the Emperor alone, is owing the present state of Italian allairs. [1e hasnot been a mere passive spectator of events, but artfully fomcntcd the insurrec- tionary policy, by suflering its agents to exercise authority in Central Italy.” ._ The point has now been reached when denunciations of Louis Napoleon are to take the place of laudations, and an agita- tion is to be got up for the avowed pur-, pose not only of expressing sympathy with i the Pope, but of petitioning the Queen to throw her influence in Congress into thi- | scale on behalt of the restoration of Bolâ€" ogna to the States of the Church, and the maintenance of his Holiness’ Goreriiiiient intact. Bitter a pill as this new.policy must be to the inass'ofthe laity, they have it set-ms, to swallow it with the best grace in their power. They have to abuse the French, denounce Louis Napoleon, and a form'ori, his myrinidon Melllalion, of Lini- brickâ€"and worse than all, seek to influ- ence the very Government whose over- throw at the hands of the eldest son ofthe Church they Were earnestly desiring, only a few months ago. to protect the Chiircn against the evil designs of this very eldest son. More than this, they have to repu. diatc in set terms the Very princile ol popular sovereignty, and of national l‘lgltlh' and nat.0nal independence, upon which their whole , case in the time-honored cause of Ireland VS. Englandirests, and adopt, Without so much as a griinacc, the Very rule of the right of the strongest to govern, under which Ireland herself has shed so many bitter tears, and against . whiclttwenty generations of her people have protested sword in hand. County meetings are accordingly being held all over the country, and presided over by bislmps, for the purpose of deâ€" nouncing the Bolognesc, Louis Napoleon and Victor Emmanuel, and atlirming the doctrine that the teinporalities ol'the l’Opc- dom are the patrimony cf the Church, and cannot be touched without sacrilege. This, too, is in direct contradiction to the vicivs ol the tempm-al power 01 the Pope generally held by the Irish laity until with in the but ten years No pe0ple in the: world had ever beheld s0 gloiions an illus- tration of the degree to which the Church may fitnll'l‘ll, and the lirmness of the. hold which sh}: may lay on the hearts of mil- lions ol believers, without a cent of wurdly endowments except what voluntary olferâ€" ings might create, as Irish littory furâ€" nishes; and the mass of Irish laymen haVe cOnsequently always maintained that the I’Ope, without an acre of territory, would, if possible, be a better Pope than ever. The changeâ€"and we have no doubt the unwelcome changewwhicli is now coming over the spirit of their dream, is the first unit of the strong ultrainontane element which the accession of Dr. Cullen to the Primacy introduced into the Irish Church, and which may yet end in infecting itwith the religious luke-warmness under which the Italian States are laboring, and to which the present dangers oftlie I’opedom are very largely diie.â€"â€"~1Vew York Times. ’l‘o SUBSCRIBERS.~--TO those of our subscrib- ers who receive our papers from Holland Laud- ing, Newinarket, Aurora, and Oak Ridges. we beg to announce that Mr Janus Honcanxv, of Aurora. is authorised to receive monies for this office, as he has kindly consented to become our A cut for the above-warned places. .lob work done on the shortest notire, and at the lowest rsmunerating prices. 9: in m.“ _ which ,tjrralb. ._ ,_._e.

All Letters addressed to this Office must be post-paid; “Woe”...â€" OUR COUNCILMEN. Be On Monday next our represent- atives commence Municipal Legis- lation for another year; their duties are onerous and oftiines thankless. If frequently happens that do what they will, some grumbling wise- acres will fault them, because for- sooth, it was not possible to do iin~ practicabilitics. But whilst all this and much more is true, the’ counterpart is likewise a verity, and that is: it often is the case that. the business of our Townships are sadly neglected by these woribies. ln'another column will be found some rathei severe reflections on Ollt friend, Col. Bridgcford, al- though we will not undertake to swear that all that is therein stated is pure gospel, yet, we fear, there is more truth than poetry in some of the remarks. The spot by Playâ€" ter’s mill is, and has been for years, in a disgraceful condition- we think that some action thee-on is urgently demanded. We shall look to the Col. to insist upon the roadl being widened and kept in a salel A state. Indeed the whole road from Richmond Hill to the Station is a disgrace to the Township; and it does seem suicidal policy to take gravel from this public road and sell or give it to the Plank Road Com- pany. It would be all well enough if this road was in good repair. but as it is quite the reverse, we think that those who travel it have good cansc to complain. As the Col. has. been. again triumphantly re- turned we sincerely hope that be will prove himself worthy of the trust reposed' in him, and do his best to put this, the most public road in the Township, in good re- pair. During these Municipal elections we were rather annoyed to find that the watchword with most of the Candidates was “ we go in for economy, retrenchment, and to keep down the. taxes.” We this as a sort of unworthy claptrap, used to catch the votes of'tliose who have very little more brains than they were born with._ Otherwise the Candidate is slightly deficient of what-ave. l‘eaVe the public to guess. The great watebworri shOuld be “ good roads and bridges." We feel persuaded that those who feel the inconvenience and danger of‘ bad roads will never begrudge pay- ing an extra cent or two in the pound to get good ones. It is. of a truth, the primary question. Talk about having so many dollars in the bank, bearing interest at 6 or 7 per cent, and as a course quenoo, having bad roads it is nei- ther more nor less than mad policy. Lay every shilling that can be spared out in your. roads and bridges, and it will pay more than 100 per cent in increased safety and com fort. Observe, we do not wish our Municipalities to incur debt, but whilst there is a bad road in the Township, never let it (the money) lay idle ina batik. It is like a miser hoarding up his gold, and . dying for want of'tbe necessaries of life. There is also another subject to which we would especially call. the attention of our guardians. That is the absolute. necessity there is for making some provision for the destitute at this . We inclement season of the year. do not want a poor-law, but we re- . ally think that the claims of honest poverty or helpless infancy, should . not be disregarded. We have in previous issues called attention 10 this subject, therefbre we necd‘en- large no further on it. The remarks. . we have thought fit to make are written in no censorious or dictatoe rial spirit, but are intended rather to show what the public expect to be done by those they have elected as Councilmen. â€"â€"-q-â€"Qn<’â€"vâ€"â€"~~ 8(§- The adjourned debate in con. nection will] the Mechanics ’lh- iiiute, will be resumed on Tues- day evening next. @nrrwpunhrurr. “’6 wish it to be distinctly understood, that we do not hold ourselves responsible for opinions expressed by correspondents through . our colum n8 .
