**a»Stera en the British Ceaat, Ac.
The tteamship City of Wablngton, which
left Liverpool at noou on the_th nit,reached
New York on Thursday morning about 2
o'clock. The following Is a summary of the
interesting news by her mail*:
C.tIKAT BBtTAtK.
Parliament wa opeued by tbe Ctoeeu in per
ton, ou ihe '.Mth nit. The following is the
l>neen's tpeech:
My Lords and Gentlemen .-—With great satis
faction I again meet yon iv Parliament, and
have recourse to your assistance and advice.
My relations With foreign powers continue
. on friendly and satisfactory footings. At the
close of tbe last session. I Iv formed you that
i overtures bad been made to me a a.- c -rutin
i whether, if a conference should be held by the
(treat Powers of Europe for the purpose ot set
. iling the arrangements connected with tbepre.
1 sent state and future condition of Europe, a
plenipotentiary wonld be ant by me to assist
at such a conference.
I have since received a formal invitatioa
from the Er.ii.eror of Austria and tbe Empe
ror of tbe French to send a pleuipoientiary to
a Congress to cr>i;tist©r*b* representatives
of the eight Powers who Wore parties lothe
treaty of Victim; tbe objects of such n Con
gress being siaieS-toTVcelve communication of
the treaties concluded at Zurich, and deliber
ate associating wi'h tbe abo>e Powers, the
Courts Of Borne, Sardinia and Sicily, on the
means best adapted lor the paciflcaiion ut Italy
and for placing its prosperity on a solid and
durable basi*. Desirous at all times to con
cur in proceedings having for their object the
maintenance of peace, I accepted the invita
tion, but at the same time made it known that
in such a Congress I should steadfastly mnin
tain tbe principle that no external lorce
should be employed to impose upon the people
ol Italy any particular government or consti
tution.
Circumstancps have since risen which have
led to ihe postponement of the Congress with
out any ia* hiving been fixed for a meeting;
but wheiher in the Qua gee** ar in a separate '
negotiation. I Khali endea\or to obtain for the
people ol Italy freedom from foreign inter
ference by force ol arms, iv their internal con
cerns ; and I trust that ihentlairsof the Italian
peninsula may be pi-Hiefiilly and satisfactorily
settled. The papers on this subject will soon
be told before you.
I am in communication with the Emperorof
the French, with a view to extend the com
mercial intercourse between tho two cou nines,
and ihus draw closer ihe bonds of friendly al
liance between them.
A dispute having arisen between Spain and
Morocco, 1 endeavored by lricndly means to
prevent a rupture, but regret to say, without
success. The papers ou ibis subject will be
laid before you.
My Plenipotentiary and the Plenipotentiary
of the Emperor of the French having, in obe
dience to their instructions, proceeded to the
mvii ih of the Peiho river, in order to repair to
IVki.i to exchange, in that ciiy, tbe ratifica
tion of the treaty ut Tien-ism, iv pursnauceof
the fifty-sixth clause of that treaty, their
further progress was oj.posed by the Ctiiue-e
forces, null a conflict tool; place between ihe
lons at the mouill of the river and the naval
f.jices by which the t'lenipotcuiiuries were es
corted.
The allied forces displayed on this occasion
their usual bravery, but niter sustaining a se
vere loss, they wcie compelled to retire. I urn
preparing, iv couceri aud co-operaliun with
the Emperor ol the French, au expedition in
tended to compel redress aud the luifliuieu t i-f
tbe stipulations of the treaty. It will be grati
fying to me if the prompt acquiesceuce ol the
Empetvr of China ia ihe moderate demands
* inch will be made by the plenipotentiaries,
wiii obviate the necessity for the employment
of lorce. I have directed that the papers on
the subject b<* laid before yon.
Au unauthorised proceeding by au officer of
the Tuned States in legani io the lilui.il ot
Sau Juan, between Vancouver's Island aud
the main land, might have ltd loa serious col
lision between my forces and those uf ihe
Uimed Stales, but the collision bus been pre
vented by the judtctouß toi ueai.-iii'.e ot my UsV
v.tl uSteer* on the spot and the e<i uiiabte ami
conciliatory provisions and armngemeu is pro
posed by the g.j\eriiinei!iof ttieL'nued S.aies.
i ursutethat tne question ol boundary, out oi ;
which this aSlair Ma arisen, may be amicably
adjusted tti a manner conformab.e wi injustice
t-j ihe two countries, and .'tsueflued by tne first
article of ihe treaty of It-Id.
The last embers of disturbance in my East
Indian dominions have been extinguished.—
My Viceroy lias made peaceful progress
ttirough the districts which have been the
principal scene ot disorder, and by a judi
cious combination of firmness and generu_iy,
my authority has been everywhere solidly,
and, 1 trust, permaneut ly established. I have
received from the Viceroy the most gratiiying
account of tbe loyalty ol my East ludi.ni sun
jects, and of the good feeling evinced hy the
Native Chiefs and landholder-oi thecouiitry.
The attention of the government in India
has lieen directed to the development ol tbe
internal resources of the country, and I am
glad to inform you tbat an improvement has
taken place in its financial pruspects.
1 have concluded a treaty with Japan, anil a
treaty regarding boundaries with the Repub
lic oi Chi*n malli 1 ha\e directed thai the
treaties shall be laid before you.
The remainder of the speech is devoted to
local matters The public revenue is iv a sat
islucury condition, and estimates have been
presented, with the view of piuciug the army
and navy and tbe defence of thecouutry ou au
efficieut footing. The volunteer movement is
referred to with pride and gratification.
A reform bill and other legislative measures
are promised,and the speecn winds up with
an expression of gratitude for the general
prosperity which prevails.
In the House of Commons Mr. Brand gave
notice that on tbe _ih of February, _ord
John Kussell would introduce a reiorm mea
sure.
An address to the throne was moved by Mr.
St. An by n and seconded by Lord Henley.
Mr. Disraeli stated that he was uot anxious
to move an amendment to ihe address, but at
the same time he complained of the unsatis
factory nature of the speech from the throve,
and proceeded to criticise some ot iis more im
portant leatures. He was greatly surprised
that, at this date, a new commercial treaty
. should be negotiated, as it thook to pieces the
commercial policy of late years. He demand
ed au explanation of Lord Cowley's recent
mission lo Loudon, and insisted tbat tbe gov
ernment should give a complete exposition of
iv Italian policy.
Lord Palmerston admitted the objections
against the commercial treaty, but explained
that tbe Convention with France was an ex
ceptional one. As legarUs Italy, the govern
ment had thus tar entered iuto no engage
ments. Its policy was clear and simple, viz.,
non-intervention. The address was agreed
to.
Captain Harrison, the well known comman
der of the "Orest Eastern," had lost his life by
tbe upsetting of a boat at Southampton. He
was crossing tbe Solent from his residence at
Hythe to Southampton, on the morning uf the
■.Ist ultimo, in hisowngig, in company with
Dr. Wateon, the Surgeon olThe Ctreat Eastern,
Captain Lay, the Chief Purser, and
a son of he latter. The boat was manned
by six picked men, including Ogden, the
coxswain of the Great. Eastern. Tbe
weather was very squally, and as tbe
boat neared the Southampton docks Captain
Harrison ordered the sail to be lowered, but it
stnek fast, and a heavy gust of wind caused
tbe boat to capsla. Captain Harrison clung to
the boat for a few miuutea, making desperate
attempt* to right it, but ha Became exhaust
ed aad foil hack iuto the wnva. He wa picked
up about twelve minutes afterwards floating
a foot alow the surface of the water, with
< his arm cast loosely over aa onr. Tbe mat
energetic efforts mrmrp made by no tea than tea
medical men to restore animation, bat nil wm
fraitlea. Tbe galvanic battery wa applied
witboat any effect whatever. Ogden, the cox
swain, aad Captain Jay's son also fell victims
to tbeditatter, although the Idrmer wa tor a
time restored to consciousness. The event
created a painful sensation throughout Eng
land, owing lo tbe high ateem in which Cap.
tain Harriaon was be__ Warm eulogies were
being passed upon bun, aud hte death wa
generally regarded aa s very serious blow for
ta Qrat Eastern eaters-rate.

IT ALT.
A letter from Leghorn states that an English
frigate had entered that harbor and saluied
the town, the batteries of which at once re
sponded. The English salute was interpret
ed as a recognition hy the British government
of the fall of the Oraud Duke, and as a first
fruit of the combined French aud English po
licy on Italian affairs.
We are tn a condition to affirm that the fol
lowing btatement is true:—
The Emperor of ihe French has written a
second tetter to the Pope. It was brief, butem
phatic. His Majesty is willing and anxious to
remaia as hitherto the eldest son of the Church,
and continue to be deferential to the Holy
Father in all things spiritual; but if his Holi
ness oppose the late propositions, hi kitnte
mtsnber Hnry the Eighth.
The Pope Savins called lor the withdrawal
of the French troops from Home, ihe Empe
ror, in tbe same letter, 6avs that they shall be
withdrawn if his Holiness persists! but that
by (the Emperor) will cause a mouth's notice
to lie given to all strangers resident in the
Eternal city.
Death of a Notku Baltimobk Pkivateee.
Dr. .Tas. B. Star.sh:iry, formerly a well known
druggist on Fell's Point, died on the ioth uit.,
at L'rbana, Ohio, aged about 7<i y.tirs. The
life of the deceased was marked by many hon
orable aud patriotic events, especially during
ilie war of 1-12 Sailing out of this port in
that year in the merchant ship Hannibal,
Willi a carco of coffee for France, he was cap
tured by the British squadron then blockading
the English coast. His ship was run into Ply
inouih. where both *hip aud car_o wer*» con
iiKCtued, leaving him penniless. Subsequently
Captain Stuusbury returned to his country in
Uieship W it ham and Henry, of Boston, find
with a determination to inflict summary pun
ishment on the authors of his ruin, and repair
hi* damaged fortunes. In a lew mouths op
portunity presented itseil by the declaration
of war by this country against Englaud, on
account of repealed acts uf confiscation of
United States merchant vessels ; aud the ves
sel Chasseur was fitted out in the port of New
York by Captain Stansbury and Captain Thos.
Boyle, also welt known at that time in Balii
more, and s iled under the command of ihe
latter fir the const of England, on a privateer
ing expedition.
In a cruise of eighteen months they captured
eighteen brigs, shii«s and merchant vessels,
with cargoes worth in the aggregate, upwards
of fifteen millious of iLillars; but tbey suuk
or destroyed most of the prizes, so that hut few
were brought back to the port of New York.—
While off the coast of England, and surround
ed by the vessels of their enemy, Messrs. Stans
bury aud Boyle ran the Chasseur up the
Biitish Channel, and put forth a burlesque
proclamation, such as was customary with
the British admirals, declaring all the ports
aud harbors in England aud Ireland in a
state of strict aud rigorous blockade, Ac. This
was sigued by "Thomas Boyle, commanding
officer," and "J. B. Stansbury, secretary,"'
and posted in London aud other places. After
this exploit. Captain Stansbury returned to
tbis city, and on board nschooner ran through
a blockading squadron of British ships, and
joined Commodore Stockton on board the
Comet, then cruising in the Chesapeake to
protect American vessels.— Baltimore Sun.
The Coinage of Cents.—Messrs Burnett
_ Co., well known bankers of Boston, fnrnish
the following statement, which explains how
the brokers can sell the new coinage of cents
at a discount:
"In order to accomplish the double purpose
of removing from circulation the Spanish frac
tions of a dollar, and of introducing the new
cent coin, it was, by the act of February _l,
18)7, provided, that 'the pieces commonly
known as the quarter, eighth and sixteenth of
the Spanish silver dollar and of tbe Mexican
dollar,' should be received at tbe Mint'at the
nominal rates of _, !_.■_ and •• i* cents respec
tively,' in exchange for cents of the new issue
at par. Under this arrangement, brokers buy
Spanish coin by the piece, or at weight, for
ward it to tbe Mint, and exchange it ft its
nominal value for tho new cent coin at per.—
This euables brokers to sell tbe ceut coin in
large amounts at a little discount, and still
make a profit. As there ia bow veiy little
Spanish fractional coin in circulation, and as
the law expiies by limitation upon the Ist ol
May, 1861, the coinnge of cents cannot be very
largely Increased."
Ilirm Mass of Reqoiex for Bishop Nar
mann.—On Wednesday an imposing ceremony

arrangement wa a catafalque, which occupied
a position in the middle aisle in front of the
sanctuary. This tuaeral structure had six
black pillars, each ten feet high, which sup
ported a canopy from which rich drapery de
sanded. Under tbe canopy there wa a coffin,
with the cross, mitre, cro_er, Ac, the whole

ing tbe Indians and others fish for trout.
About two o'clock some of the party observed
a singular motion of the ice. It appesred thai
there was » strong current in the water, but
an examination disclosed the fact tbat the ice
upon which they were standing had parted
between them and the shore, and .hat tbey
were rapidly floating into Lake Huron. Tbey
at once put their horses iv motion to flud somq
point where they could get to tbe mala laud,
but could find no such place. In the mean
time tbey were going very rapidly, tbe wind
blowing a gsle from the shore. Their situa
tion was very dangerous, both a regards
the danger of tbe breaking up of tbe io
upon which they were, aud the aararm
cold; great excitement existed at Bay City
amongst tbe inhabitants generally, and many
plans for their relief were talked of and can
vassed. They floated some fourteea mile*,
when one end of the ice fortunately grounded
on Squaw, Point. Theyj madea rush for tbe
shore, after first getting oft' their boras and
sleighs. Tbe la wa much broken, aad they
had to travel some distance over separate

Held of conflict, uo one c mid be found. Tb*
watchmen of course did all In their power to
discover the hiding place of tbe swluol.r, and
to recover the money, but a tea;ch for ben's
teeth would bate proved equally a success
ful. A deserti»ih>n of tbe fellow, together with
his an.•••cedent*.may lead tubtacaptureat some
future time, aud ensure bim a msldeiice in tbe
bouse tbat Jack built.
It te a little strange that person* from the
country, alter tbe thousands of warning*
given t hem, are soft enough to be picked up
by fellows tbey never saw or bear, of—crea
tures that live by swindling and fraud—and
" bled" fo» all tbey possets: aud yet case* ol
tbe kind are occurring in elites airaott every
day. If men mnst enjoy the excitement . f
earning, let them do so with their ac_i aint
ances, and not with stragglers In _ ail ijuar- -
ters of the world who play nothing but "heads
ihey win—tali, you loose," aud who would
not hesitate to trump with a dray pin,or raiss
their own hand from tbe bottom of their com
petitor's itockeis, provided theyconld hold in
it a well filled pur-e.
Within the pist si.\ weeks not less than
half a doyen country persons have been roped
in and skinned by fellows wbo have no local
habitations, being here to-day and gone to
morrow. Tbe oread of exposure has kept
some of them from appealing to the iiolice to
aid them in recovering iheir losses, aud lb us
given ihe itinerant swindlers a lice use to car
ry on tbmr-steamy. On*own eHfnenbmttet,
therefore, take this* matter in hand aid give
such iuforruntioii a-i will enable the Mayor to
arresi and punish the offenders.
F.ad Itticdt. leading to market, irupote heavy
taxes upon farmers generally, and it therefore
seems Strang* that they do uot urge the Coun
ty Courts to have them thoroughly improved.
A farmer, In hauling his produce to market,
can bring as much in one load ov.-ragood
rood as becas in two over over a bad one, and
can make the trip in one-half the time. If be

Being them six nays In thf» year—and when
loss of time i- considered, the c*-st' will svor
age more than tho number stated—could they
not well afford to pay a road tax to have ihe
highways pat tb orsi rate orde/.' Under the
present law the surveyors ate required to
work the roads, but. they are generally men
who have uo time aud uu di*pu>ition t*> |»er
foiia the duties, aud ihe cousequenco is, that
they receive little or nOattention and ?oi,n tie
c-'ine al-.u >s; Impnt-snln, If the law was so
changed that the County Courts could levy a
road tax on each resident, and then let tbe
roods to contractors, they could be, and would
be, made equal to thoseof the Northern States,
where the public thoroughfares are generally
of the best kind. Many of the roads in Hen
rico county are little tetter than new grounds,
fliiedovith stumps, and uone of them receive
sufficient attention to make them passable'ln
wet spells. By a change in «heir management
they could be materially battered, aud would
cost tbe farmers no more than at present.
Spring Ttadt.— From preseu t indications tb*
wholesale houses of Richmond will do a larger
business this spring than usual—especial
ly those engaged in direct importations—be
cause of the fact that country merchants are
unwilling to spend a dollar at ihe North thai
ihey ca.i invest in tbe South. We think we
may safely say that Nor:hern fabrics will flud
fewer purchasers In Virginia than for many
years past, and that farmers and planters will
buy duly Southern manufactures where tbey
can be had. The trade ol Richmond ought to
be tiehird, toeuable our impotteia logetsup
piies from Europe; and ' every man and wo- ■
man who can find Southern-mti.it good* toan
s\.\er their purpose-*, ought to buy mem. Nou
intercourse with our euemies may beimpos
sihie for n time, but let ihe people support
iftme manufactures, and the i.me is not di-.
laut wbeu the S«mn will bate her factories
lor every purpose, aud -a hen her people can

their being stolen: but so very lew owuert

only been required to is _v some thirty uerti
ficaies up to ihis time. There are not less man
five thousand dogs iv Richmond, owned by ail
sorts of people, and every one of them can
come and go as tbey please, so that ihey e»cape
the uetmeu. It miners uot that ihey biie
women and children, annoy the t>ick aud vex

Steamert, for canal purposes, have ban
miked of as practicable, inasmuch as they
would cost less thau tbe bor*e power now re
sorted to. In the Jauien River and Kanawha
Canal, tbe depth of water, it is generally be
lie* ed, is uot sufficient for steamer* thai would
carry as much freight as ibe present boats. It,
however, it can be practicably demonstrated
thax the water is sufficient—that there is no
greater danger of injuring and breaking the
bunks—and that they are cheaper and more
exi*diiioii«, there are hundred, uf persons
who would gladly invest capital in a steam
lino to do the carrying trade on the canal. The
tact that one experiment proved a failure
should not deter otttevs from the introduction
oi steamers, if ihey are certain of succas.
(Titter pi,.,s. -The preparations making at

only Richmond, bnt tbe entire South, should
give them all such work. The chief founder

Attempted Incendiarism —A daring attempt

but that the wind had blown the flames from
the direction of tbe weather-boarding, and
tha* prevented a serious conflagration. He
Immediately extinguished the buruiag pile, hut

incendiary designed it to do, Mr. R. aad bis
ftunily might buve perished in tbe flamee.
