amigo Slime. ARRIVALOF THE KANGAROO. EREADSTUFFS rrnm. New Yonx, April 6th. The Kangaroo arrived this morning. The annexation of Savoy to Frame was definitely settled by France and Sar- dinia, and the treaty signed. The Reform Bill was being debated, but attracted little interest. The Landon Times strongly recomâ€" mends that the Princemakes a tour through the United States,and feels sure that a visit to the President would be appreciated. Mrs. Jameson, the authoress, is dead. Florence Nightingale is seriously. ill. Prayers were offered in the Garrison Chapel for her. Signor Farini formally presented‘to the Cing of Sardinia the return of votes of the zEmelian. Prov-limes in favour of arrâ€" nexation. l‘lre King in reply said be ac- CPI'le‘l the “0‘”: as also “"31 0f “‘3 110' relative toSziVoy, and gives the following magna, but at the same trure he Would the subsmme_ not fail in his deep dcvotcdncss to the Pope. The Pope had addressed a monitory- to Victor Emmanuel breaking off all rc- lations with and excomrnunicating him. Austria declines renewing diplornntic irrâ€" tercourse with Sardinia, owing to, her flagrant violation of the treaty of Zurich. A despatclr from Vienna announces that Austria will pronounce herself againstany violation of the rights of Swiss neutra- ‘ lity, guaranteed. by the treaties of Great Britain. A proposition. rn favour of ballot had been rejected by a large majority in both Houses of Parliament. The Reform Bill was being, debated but attracted little interest. The Mediterranean Telegraph Line will be completed in two nrontlrs, when London will be in direct communication with Calcutta. FE ANCE. ACcording to the Paris» correspondent oft-he London Post, the relations of France and: England. were not in- a very satisfac- tory state. The camp at Clralons, this year, is to consist of 60,000 men, under Marshall McMahon. The Paris correspondent of the Daily News says, it was reported that a French diplomatic manifesto would shortly appear. in which all the designs upon the Rhine frontier will be expressly disclainrcd. The reports that French troops were under orders for Savoy, are unfounded. The provisions of the commercial treaty between England and France were in force, and the exportation of French goods to England had commenced on a large Scale. LONDON, Thursdayâ€"Markets checkv ed yesterday owingr to universal distrust of the grasping policy of Napoleon. The intended visit of the Prince of \Vales to Canada, and the expectations that he will make a tour to the United States, has exercised a favourable influ- ence on most Canadian securities. INDIA. An invasion of Kokees had- taken place at Tidperah. 1,000 persons were mur~ dered. A report was cur'ent of treason at Indoor, the capital of liolkar. SPAIN AN D MOROCCO. In the last engagement before reported. the Spaniards had 2:30 killed and wound- ed. The Moors numbered 15,000, and the action lasted seven hours. Another severe fight took place on the seventh, when the Spaniards Were victorious. Tar:- gier was expected to be attacked in a few days. The municipal council of Nice had vot- ed against annexation to Frame, and sent a deputation to Turin on the subject. Popular detrroustrattons had taken place at Pestlr and other places in Hungary in commemoration of the revolution of 1848. Nothing decisive had taken place relaâ€" tive to the annexation of Tuscany to- Piedâ€" moot. The director of public debt at Rome had gone to Brussels to contract a loan of ten million francs. Tire Le Norcl says the moment the Pope’s bull is fulmrnated. the cities of Mi- nn, Genoa. Leghorn, Turin, Bologna and Florence have agreed to illuminate. and give the character of a national celebraâ€" tion to the event. A great manifestation took place at the Vatican on the 16th, in favour of the Pope. It was said at Vienna that the French troops at. {Ohio would retire to Civilta Vecchia if the Pope cxcomrrrunicctcs Vic- tor Emmanuel. Another report from Vienna is that the Neapolitan troops will at once enter the Papal States if the Sarâ€" diniarrs take possession of the Rornagna. A l] STRIA . It is stated that the French Anrbnssav dor had been infm'rned of the evacuation of Lombardy by the French troops, and in the name of lllS government, expressed a wish that Austria Would continue to 0b- scrve non-intervention iii the affairs of Central Italy. .._..._M _. __ ,_.._..,..._......_.

The Times admits that anrrcxatronmust be quietly allowed, but denounces the act as one of spoilation. and wrong, and in principle as badias a march upon the Rhine, or a.»sudden.attempt on Antwerp, and must leave upon all minds the conviction that there- is no safety except inbcontinual Watch fnlncss and arnred preparation against the aggressions of the Sovoreign who- thus seizes upon the possessions of a friendly power» A correspondentof tlre~Lond0n Times says: All that powers had replied to France R-ussi \ says so. long as. the right of the people tosclect rulers is not put forward by France, antlas the present change does not affect the balance of Europe, what Sardinia may do with Savoy is no affair of hers.

Austria does not approve of any annexa- tiorrs wcrc effected, she does not see what she has to do with the Savoy annexation. GREAT BRVI'lJAd‘N.

As our ready-rs are doubtless by this time aware, in about five. months- it will devolve upon them to chose a fit and proper person to represent them in the-Legislative. Council, for. King’s Divisiomwhich embraces the township of Vaughan, Mbrkharrr, Pickering, Whitby and Etobicoke ; and when we call to rememberance the fact that we are a young and rising country, and that our prosperity depends very, much upon those who guide Its destinies, it must be self-evident that. it is a. matter which. intimately concerns us all to see to it that we put the right man in the right place. The task min be difliculhbut it is all». important. We want state physicians, and not quacksâ€"rneu of sterling and un- flinching rntegrity, and not more popular.in hunters. We want men Whose highest aim istbeir country’s found, letfiour honest yeomen put their shoulders in right good car- nest to the wheel and elect him.â€" The. law requires 3. Legislative Councillor to be worth $8000. in real estate, situated liizlllt‘. riding. and unencumbered. Let us. Show that we respect the law and allow 'tro quibbling in this respect ; for the man who by artifice endeavors to evade this law to gratify his own vanity, will, if the occasion suits, sell his constituents for the same The Council State had decided that the Concord-at concluded by Austria» with the Pope is not binding on Lombardy. The cx-Duke of Tuscany is preparing a protest against his fall. AUSTRIA. Continued agitation prevailed in Hun- gary, and numerous arrests were made at Pesth. The Le IVord says that the reply of'the British Government had reached Paris, and was understood that it had not renounced all hope of preventlng annexation, or at least of reducing it to pr0p0ritions which would make it a constant source of em- barrassment to France... Baron Ricalsoli reached Turin on the 22nd, and presented to the King the vote of Tuscany on: the annexation question. Prince Carignana was expected to pro- ceed to Florence on the 263th, not as Reâ€" gent but as King’s Governor of Tuscany. A demonstration had taken place at Rome in honour of the birth-day of Gari baldi. M-_N’_’ TIIE VOTING IN CENT ’cAL ITALY. The Florence correspondent of the Times gives a graphic account of the scenes witnessed in Modena, Parma, and Bologna during the voting. He describes the train leaving Piaccnza :â€" \Ve opened the carriage window, and not 2'00 yards from us on the great road 1 we perccived a. procession of country peo- ple, with the tricolourcd flag in front of them, greeting the railway with “ Viva lltalia!” “ Viva Vittorio Emman» zrelle I” They were the voting conting- ent of a neighbouring commune,who were on their Way cmnasse to the chief place of the 77mmlwmento, which was precisely the station at which we had to stop next. It was little more. than '7 a.m., and the voting was not to begin till 10 um. “7:: had- not yet completed more than one-fifth , of our journey. And from this time up l to the end of it, it seemed as if the whole l population of the Duchies and of the Ho- magnat was bent on a general hegira. The high road, which. we Were still skirting, was never errrpty. Smaller and larger de- tach-merits, with the indispensible tricol’our, singing and cheering, were wending their way towards the larger towns. But both Purina and Reggio were al- ways anrong the Well-disposed, but how will it be at l‘v’lotleen-a, where the influence of money and landed interest has tried‘ so systen‘ratically to Work on the lower class- es, eSpeci‘ally the country peeps? Well, my doubts were solved in the most brilliant manner. Just at the station the main road from the Po district crosses the railway, and at this cross road a batch of Several hundred country folks, with numbers of tricolour flags, bearing the cross of Savoy and inscribed with patriotic devices, their sindacos and priests at their heads, were i waiting to cross, and for the first time I heard the Italian peasantry give a real hearty cheer as the train passed by. The voting had thus in passing much more the character of a national triumph and holiday than of a contest. I scarcely l I. t exhibit on his hat the signal of annexa- ! tion. I decorated with it. This impression was a hundrcdfold strengthened when we arrived ‘ at Bologna. There was not a house, not a shop, which had not its hand bill with “ View Vittorio E mmanuele, nostm legi- ' limo [to I V1 m l‘A nnessione I “Feclel- _ la al nostro Re I” As for the people of l the town as well as of the neighbourhood. l the voting scented altogether a matter of secondary fornr,the chief being crowding the streets, going about in procession with flags and tirusic, singing, cheering, and re- joicing the chief part of the day. As on all great days in Italy, windows and bal- ' conics were decorated with flags, carpets, and silk hangings, not a few with the arms i of their orvncrs embroidered thereon. The students, the workmen, and the arti- lsans of the different trades had all their l processions, flags, and music, and went I from one piazza and one polling,' place to 'thc other. saw a man on the whole road AtllO did not: Upper as wrll as lower classes were i unholy purpose. The qualifica- tions of electors are the same as for an M.P.P.~.namely, to be the owner, tenant or occupant of real property of the assessed value of $200 and upwards. It may pro- bably seem strange that we should begin to agitate about an election five months before it takes place, but the fact is. in the general way dishonesty rises long before (lustry ; and it is. often found to be the c that uuprinciplcd and selfish. men. are elected; because n ~r»,_ a‘S \L lock, and matured their plans he- acting. Now such an event is at all times to» be deplored, but can only be prevented by incessant watchfulness. The Legislative Councillor is doubly important at this time, as never in the history of this Province were affairs in a more critical state. The old landmarks of party are fast be- coming invisible, and a transfusion 18 about to take place.

But still, although the Arch Grit and his followers will soon be sent “ with the shades of night,” another party will arise and take their place; and it behoves us to put those in power who will act fearlessly, intelligently and ho- nestly, with the great questions which must sooner or later be dealt with by Parliament. We have said that some action should at once be taken by the Conservative Reformers of the Diâ€" vision; and the reason we urge for no delay is, that there are those who even now are secretly and un- derhandcdly working to secure their own election. That what we state is true no one will venture to deny; and the objectof all true Re- formers should be at once to put our bones-t and intelligent ycomen on their guard against men who prowl about at night with requisi- tions in their pockets, soliciting their support for certain parties, al- though it is well known that the heads ofthc Very party to which lthcse gentry profess to belong, cu- tircly disapprove of the course ltakeu; indeed, hole and corner meetings have been held in private houses, and a certain party has no- tually had the audacity to draw up requisitions for himself, and then with cool effrontery through his have the electors choose for them- selves, aud get up requisitions in favor of the party they wish to so. fleet, taking, however, great care not gto‘ let out the fact that he has been canvassing for the past twelve months for the office; i secret caucuss meeting he 8.8m l forth his minions. to,hood.\vink the l Scarboro’, , good, and: if such a man cancbey in- .they have taken time by the- fire- fore others have even thought of election of the glory of England, according to which her constitution provides to- a and were a source of Weakness ra- politic.

And not only so, but so adroit arc the cards being managed, that a certain Doctor of Orange proclivi- ties, has been requested to gain over the orangemcn to support him (Mr. Reesor,) however, we doubt not that the orangemen are well aware, that in voting for him they would nour- ish a viper, as they may feel assurâ€" ed, that it is not because this model flrlful Dodger loves Orangeism that, he rs now seeking their support. but it is only because he thinks that. by befooling them he stands a bet- ter chance of being elected, frow- ever we rather tbiuk that in this case, Mr. Reesor has reckoned with- out his host, as orangerr’ren have too much pluck in them ever to act the part of the whipped spaniel, namely to lick the hand that has oft abused them.
