The Bohemian left Liverpool at 2 pm. of the 1st inst.,touched Quecnstown 11.30 am. The Kangaroo for I'ew Yoik sailed at the same time, and the Arago was to leave Southampton on the same day. The Arabia arrived at Liver- pool at 1.30 on the evening of the 2911). hit. The Hungarian reached Queens- town on early morning of the first. BRITAIN. In the House of Commons, Lord John Russell stated in reply to Mr. Disraeli that in consequence of a report which had reached the Government from Minister in Switzerland, a representation was made in July last to the French Gov- ernment in reference to the rumoured an- iieXation of Savoy to France. He would state in a day or two whether the paper could be produced Without detriment to i‘ will understand these grave questions; they 'terests of the public peace and rcSpect for: suppressed, violent articles in reply to its provocation are henceforth without motive and without excuse.

Destination: un- known. The Paris journals publish a dcspatch from Chambery, which states that on the 29th, the party hostile to the accession of Savoy to France,madc a dcirionstration. Nearly ‘250 persons assembled from all parts of Savoy, at the request of residents of Chainbery, and asked information from intention of the King of Sardinia to cede The Governor replied that the King would not willineg cede the Province. The statement was received with some cries of Viva la Roi. The pppulation 0f Chainbery were com- plete 'sti‘angcrs t0 the demonstration which took place in the street, and it was inferred that their feelings were consequently sym- the public service. Mr. Gladstone announced that on the 6th he would introduce the financial state- ment, and enter into full explanations of the new commercial treaty with France. Mr. Gladstone 3150, in moving for the re- appointment of the committee on Mail Packet and Telegraph Contracts, stated that the charge of Packet Service and Mail Subsidies would be in future trans- ferred from the Admiralty to the Post’ pathetic with France. French protectionists were making des- perate‘elforts against the Emperor‘s pro- posed commercial reforms. Petitions were being numeroust signed in all the manu- facturing towns against the measures. On the other hand, the Emperor continued to receive congratulatory addresses from im- portant commercial bodies. , The Pays say numerous deputations Oliice. The Committee was re-appointed. A debate ensued in which its past proceedâ€" ings were denounced by some members, while others regarded the committee as the vehicle for bushing up enquiry. On the Blst Jan., Lord John Russell stated that as far as the government un- derstood, a plan for the army association _ in Sardinia, having tor its object the volunâ€" tary organization of the people, had been proposed, but Garibaldi had not accepted the Presidency. Mr. Lindsay moved for a Select Committee to inquire fully into the operations of the burdens and restric tions affecting the shipping interests. He entered at length into the grievances of ship owners, but repudiated any desire to return to the protectiOnist principles. After some debate, the motion was agreed to. V Leave was given to bring in a bill for in the prevention of bribery at Parliamentary elections. One of its provtsions is,that six months with hard labour. In the House of Lords the proceedings were unimportant. The Prince of Orange was on a visit to Queen Victoria at. \Viudsor Castle. The London Times editorially explains the present position of the San Juan diffi- culty. It says that we have reason to think that the proposals made to America‘ are such as may fairly satisfy both countries- Instead ofstandirig out for Rosario Chanâ€" nel and the whole group of islands, as against the Hero Channel and none of them, a third channel is proposed for the boundary line, which will not only evade two disputed courses, but will leave the 1 Americans in possession of the larger share of the disputed territory. This channel in its course cuts off the Island of San Juan alone to the west,and consequently leaves us with this island only, while the Americans will retain the re- mainder. So considerable, in fact, is the concession thus made, that it reasonably suggests a little compensation, and we be lieve the American Government will be asked to give us the whole of a certain coast headland which the 49th parallel now cuts in two. \Vc do sincerely hope that this reasoneb'e proposal Will be accepted. The riotous proceedings at the Church of St. George, in East London, reached a most disgraceful height on Sunday night .the 29th tilt. The church was crammed With a noisy mob who not only prevented the services from being performed, but endeavoured to demolish the alter, and in .dulged in the pastime of throwing about lia550cks, cushions, prayer books, one. The officials of the church were treated with personal Violence, and considerable. pro- perty was destroyed. The matter had; claimed attention in both Houses of Parlia- ’ ment, and Government had promised to‘ put a stop to such disgracelul proceed- tugs. ‘ The ship Endymion, Capt. llallett, ol the “ dramatic line” of New York packets l was destroyed by fire in the Mersey, onl the 31st. ult. She was lying in the stream. "and ready to sail when a fire suddenly i broke out from some unknown cause, about 4« o’c10ck in the morning. The ltICI .__-_.., “w”. from Savoy, composed of persons oft high standing, were daily arriving at 1 Paris. The Paris flour market declined 1 a 2), per sack. ’VVheat, difficult to sell at re-‘ duced rates. \Vlieat is also lower in most of the provincial markets. A Brussels telegram says, that the Uizivers, suppreSscd in France, will be continued and published, in that. City. The Paris Bourse was greatly depressed, and a fall of I per cent. had taken place at the close on the 31st ult. There was a slightly better feeling, and the-latest quo- tation was at 5’), which was a shade higher than the lowest point touched. The panic is ascribed by the Paris correspondent of the Daily News to the breach between the Emperor and the Pope. The Swiss Federal Council had drawn up acrrcular despatch, expressing alarm at the possibility of the annexation of Savoy and Nice to France. l l . . , . . . i irALi. parties coriVicted may as imprisoned for, - Count Covour‘s contcii‘iplated visit to Paris and London is postponed.

It was considered not unlikely that a state of siege would be proclaimed in Hungary as well as in Vcaelia before long. Agitation continually prevailed in Veneo ‘ .ia. In one day seVen officers were at- - tacked and wounded, at Verona. Attempts were made to hoist tlie’colored flag at Chiaggia, Portezce, and Palestina. Num- erous individuals had been arrested at. Venice for insulting language while military music Was being performed. PORTUGAL. The Cortcz were opened on 26th January. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. ' Sir John Wilde, late Chief Justice. of the Colony, was dead. The mails from Calcutta to Dec. 22, and Hong Kong to Dec. 13, have been received. 1' .

These petitions are very imports ant, and we hope that the opinions of the. township on. this subject will. be fully expressed. Those. who, are in favor of reducing the num- ber of taverns Ste. should-sign at once, and those who. are against. any action (in. such petition, should also speak out, so that the Council may get the real opinion of the township on this matter. For the information of both parties, we. may add that llcrc are in. the township twenty-seven taverns, seven on Yonge street, three in. Berwick, three in Klineburgh, and we ratbei: think that there are. three within a mile and a quarter ofl Maple. In the other parts of the township we are not able to give~ the number in each locality. Our opinion is thisâ€"that we do not want so many, and that. where such houses are too. numerous, there ii’nmorality abounds; but still it beboves us not to go to the ex- treme the other way. Accommo- dation for. the public must be had, and it. is no. use. fixing the license fecs-too-high, or refusing togrant licenses for taverns that are really needed, as by so (icing we may do the. township agrcat injury. We hope the Council will act on this matter discretely. WH<W INTERNATIONA L, PO I‘JITI'CS.
