The Great Eastern. arrived on the eve- ning of tlie 15lll. GREAT BRITAIN. At a meeting of the Galway Company, the Directors’ report was adopted and it was resolVed to issue stock increasing the nominal capital from £500,000 to one mil- lion sterling. Archduke Maximilian is ona visit to Southampton relative to the projective Austrian steam litre. llc made a speech in which he promised closer sympathies, politically and commercially, between Eng. land and Austria. Mr. {oebuck also made a speech ex- tolling the Constitutional efforts of the Emperor of Austria. The marriage contract betrveen Princess Alice and Prince Louis of Hesse, was signed at Osborne on the 14th. The Times again cxpatiates on the fi- nancial difficulties accumulating against the American government, and says the most earnest wish of the friends of America must be that the difficulties thus in sight may accumulate with sufficient rapidity to bring the North and South to reason. F RANGE. A vague report of growing coolness be- tween Franee and Austria, is current, bear- ing ominous resemblance to that erlCll pre- ceded the late war. The Illomteur officially confirms the appointment of M. Rendoth, minister to Italy. ‘ flaw load has. been admitted free into France, provided the articles manufactured froth it are exported. The Moniteur announces that on ac- count, of the national fete, the Emperor has either remitted or commuted the pun- ishment of 1,236 prisoners. Prince Metterniclr had taken leave of the Emperor, and the latter had gone to Chalons camp. General Fanti arrived at Paris, on route for Chalons. The dissolution of the Diet was regard- ed almost as certain ; the Cabinet Coun. cil demanded it, and also that the Imperial manifesto be addressed to the different peoples of the Austrian empire. ' POLAND. An important popular demonstration took place at Lublin, on the 12th. The military commander, by energetic action, suppressed the conflict without any tnore serious consequence than that a num- ber of persons were wounded. IT A LY. It is reported that Gen. Della Roverc will enter the Cabinet as Minister of War. Cardinal Andre, President of the Con- gregation of the Index Expurgatorius, had resigned. PRUSSIA. The Independence Beige says that the first act of the new Prussian Ministry will be the recognition of the Kingdom of Italy. . AUSTRIA.

The fall of the Minister was expected. INDIA AND CIIINA. The overland mail has been received. News generally anticipated. The Times’ correspondent at Hong Kong says the United States shipHart- ford, bearing the flag ofFlag-Officer Strib- ling, is in that harbour. I‘Iaviug returned from the north that officer. lately organized air expedition up the river Yangtze, and made an arrangement With the Nankiu reâ€" bels for the protection of American pro- perty. As he combines diplomatic with naval functions, since the departure of “Yard, his direct “intercourse with Tue Ping has attracted" some attention. The steamers Saginaw and Dacotuh were also at lrlong Kong. The frigate John Adm/is was at‘ Soraâ€" fur. The British minister had to some extent relaxed the proposrtion to visit Pekin. The Imperialists and rebels continued to strUggle with varying success. The first teas brought down from, Han Kow have reached Slianglrac. Rates for new teas at Foocliow continued extreme, and the relative inferiority of the present to the previous crop is confirmed. The total decrease in exports of tea to America will be over 5,000,000 lbs. this year. ' Calcutta letters say that the cotton question is the great topic of the day, and every effort was being made to encourage its increased production. The Lieutenant Uoveanor of Bengal has recommended the establishment of Government factories for buying, cleaning, &c.,on Chittagong hills, lot the Governor General preferred leav- ing such a matter to private enterprise, aidâ€" cd by land grants. .

The Times publishes another letter from Mr. Russell, generally discouraging for the North. It is reported that the mixed Italian and French garrison wrll soon occupy Rome. Ricasoli in a diplomatic circular expres- ses the belief that Europe will soon be persuaded of Italy’s right to the posession of the entire Italianâ€"territory. The Paris Neapolitanreaction is dimi- nishing. The relations between Austria and Hungary are daily more alarming.

Having brought this subject under the notice of our readers, we have no doubt it will give rise to a spirit. of enquiry in regard to the lands in these different settlements, and, in view of this, we will endeavor to procure all the. information we can and make it known, in order that many may avail themselves of the great advantages afforded to men desirous of securing to themselves and their families a permanent home.

Experience has demon- strated the wisdom of leaving the press unfettered by any govern- mental censorslrip, during a state‘ of peace. Tyrants have invariably attempted to stifle its voice, as they have just reasOu to fear its power. A free press is the great bulwark .of a free people. The one can scarcely exist without the other. But freedom of the press, and its concomitauts, freedom of speech, pro-suppose a normal state of so- ciety; a state in which the power of thcgovernment is acknowledged as supreme, and the civil power is sufficient to maintain the peace of society. But Icircuinstanccs may arise which would render it neces- sary, that we should, for a time, submit to a deprivation ofa portion of our privileges, in order that the remainder may be secured. Eng- lish history furnishes numerous examples of this kind. Events have occurred rendering a tempo- rary suspension of some of our strongest safeguards of personal liberty, a matter of justifiable po- licy. The Habeas Corpus act has frequently been suspended in times of civil commotion. Even the postâ€"office department has before now been subjected to the surveil- lance of the police, and the sanc- tity of" private correspondence in.- vaded to secure the ends ofjustice, and guard against danger to the government. This same principle is recognized and acted upon in the ordinary matters of every-day life. A captain at sea, whose stock of provisions has run short, is obliged to reduce the daily allowance of his crew, in order that they may reach their destination alive. In cases of famine, the rlearness of food ob- liges each individual to be satisfied with smaller quantities, and bythis means the lives of the entire com- munity are preserved. We have been led to make these remarks by the tone assumed by THE PRESS. Canadian journals, in regard to the . course pursued by the Federal Government towards the political press of the Northern States. We hear constantly of the suppression in those States, of newspapers that have shown themselves favorable to the rebellious states, or that have exhibited any degree of sym- pathy with the efforts of the South to throw off their allegiance to the government at Washington. We find wine of our leading journals stigmatizing such acts as arbi- Now, notâ€" course of action is only in accordâ€" ance with the exigencies of the times; that it is not unprecedented “ evidence of the development and in the history of civil war in other "incipient growth ofa country that, “ a little over two years since could “boast. of neither habitation or! “name ;”~â€"â€"Mr. Oliver, we believe countries; and that it is absolutely demanded by the circumstances in which the country is placedâ€"â€" Seventy-eight years have elapSed- is the editor and proprietor of the since the nationality of the United Northern Advance, an ably con- ducted liberal paper, published at Barrie, in the county of Simcoe. Mr. ’1‘. P. French, the agent of the ‘Ottawa and Opeougo Road,’ states that there are 2,623 acres cleared‘in his section, and the value of the products of last year is $44,503z24c '; the produce of each acre is $3032 ; settlement is fast filling up. We States were acknowledged by Great Britain, and the government at Washington has-always been recog- nized as the representative of the whole.“ Now. if a certain number of those States have determined to throw offtheir allegiance to their government, is that government he says that the average value of not justifiable in regarding the people of these states as rebels, whatever course it may be the iti- adOpLP and, is not that government likewise justifiable in curtailing the” liberty of the press, in so far as that liberty has been used for the purpose of aiding these rebels? We imagine that few unprejudiced persons will be inclined to desig- nate such a course. of self-defence, by such a hard name as‘Vtyranny. With whatever side we may think pr'oper to sympathize, we can surely afford to be impartial and do justice to both. The great evil in the present instance, is, not that ac- tion has been taken to suppress publications of secession proclivi- tics, but that this action has not al- ways been taken by the proper authorities. The civil and military authority has been aséumed by the mob in a few instances. But even this may be partially excused. by the disorganized state into which the affairs of the country have been 'thrown by the secession movement. , Is it unreasonable to expect that the indignation of a people should be aroused, when they see their sons sacrificed in suppressing re- bellion,- thcmselves heavily bur- dened with taxes to carry on the war; their trade, their commerce, and their industrial ' pursuits Ide- ranged; while their enemies are comforted and themselves- discou- raged by their own newspapers? Have they a right to punish those who supply the enemy with, provi- sions and munitiou/s- of war. and at the same time ov‘hrlook the con- ductor of a public journal, who lutnishes him with information of the most important character; or engenders disscusion, apathy and cowardiceat home 3 Such a course would be contrary to the policy adopted by other nations, contrary to the instincts of human nature, and contrary to the course which we would undoubtedly adopt ourselves, it placed in a similar postion. ’ MVC‘M War Medals of 1812.

A resolution was passed authorizing the Secretary to apply to the Government for the loan of out: hundred [infield rifles, to be used in practice previous to, and at the meeting by intending competitors, and for the privilege of purchasing ammunition at the Government price. Several new members joined the Assoâ€" cia’ 'On. and expressed a dbtermln‘ht‘ion to exert themselves to promote the volunteer movement. The Secretarv, Lieut.

SERIOUS Accruesr ON The RAILWAY.- ,vidtiin' was named Martin Gléasbn. H3, came to Proton from Bradford last year, and was unmarried. He occasionally re. " ceivcd remittances of. money, which he was unable tngountfabd-used to get soms" of his neighbors tofeb‘u‘ir‘t“ it for bird. Being in the lrabit‘of bOaStiOg oflris money, which he used to 'very much‘“magni’fy,’ many persons supposed him to possess an untold amount. A short time prev'mttl his death he received $44. ‘ 0‘; ' On the day in'qucstion he went to several of his neighbors to assist him in,. ; logirrg the next day. He went home, and was engaged burning brush in his fallow, when he was shot in the side with a double- barreled gun, both balls passing through his body tearing the liver and intestines into shreds. Both barrels of the gun were fired'at once, as only one report was hea‘i‘tfi- also the balls entered within two inches of each other. A young woman in the neigh- borhood heard Gleason scream once or twice when the shot was fired, but the cause did not for a moment enter her ihitid,‘ and she thought no more of the matterv. The bo ly was not found until the neutday; when the men went to assist him to logging, astonished at his ab'serr'Ce from his house, ' Went in search oflriin in the fallow, and found the body immersed in gore. ' A jury was empuuneled on Saturday by Dr. Crawford, Durham, and a past-inor‘ten'!‘ examination by Dr; \Vood. The inquest“, was adjourned, and continued on“ Monday,“ but nothing was elicited to fix the guilt db" any party; and the probability is, from present appearances, that this is one of ‘ those mysterious murdv's which will be disclosed only with the secrets of the g ra v e . â€" Durham Standard. We regret to have to announce that Mud Thomas Ford, who has been a restdent of London for the last ten years, met with a serious accident on Friday ,airigbt lag, about half-past ten O’clock,'\vhll}2 proceed; . ing to the residence of his fatlrer-in-law',‘ Mr. Irvine, over Westminister Bridge.' It appears that, while on” the track, the train came upon him unawares, and, in err- ileavoring to make his way Off. he was‘ struck by some, part of the engine, knock. " ed down, aird, it is feared, is fatally injnr-' ed. The right arm, from the elbow to” the shoulder, is completely smashed; and’ he has received a very severe flesh wound in the head. The skull, however is not broken. From the present state Of physicafi prostration of the sufferer, Dr's. Brown and flarper did not think it practicable to aurputate the arm, which must be doneiiayl the shoulder; but as soon as it is deemed - safe, the operation will be performed." Whether the patient will be able to stand; it and rally, is somewhat questionable. Mr. Ford is a native of the North 01‘ Ireland, Londorrderry, we believe, and is of most respectable parentage. He has been! - marriéd for the last eight years, and has a small family. \Ve sincerely trust that be Free Press. , 'Lr " will survive this sad affliction.-â€".L{mqf01t’z Loss OF '1‘HE-PE..QPELLER.~ BANSHEE.
