The policy of the new !? i?i.-l? ministry, as sol
forth in the speech of I,ord Derby in Parliament,
is of"Rome concern to the 1'nilcd States, nut only
ms it may affect the world, of \vl>i?-l? we are a
part, but as it mure directly reaches our interruts.
In the first place, it i< i<> In* remarked, tliat
the wisdom of the course of tin- Cnitcd Slates in
holding hack from co-operation in I lie war against
China, in made apparent hy Isird Derby's expoitit
ion of his own intentions on that, subject.
Had we gone into tlie war, we would probably
have been left to find i>ur way out ?>f it as we
best could, for Lord Derby does not. intend to
move (mother step in it. lie was opposed to its
inception originally ; hut the grasping hand of
^alrofcrstcm was upheld by the l>riti>h people,
# mid his War policy whs sustained by Parliament.
He had formed a design to bring all (?h listendoin
into a league against China, and had sue*
ceeded, beyond all expectation, at the, moment
-when he lost the reins of the Government.?
France was ill netivn en !< .....I l?.
Having failed in negotiation, w?? ri'iuly to resort
to war. Lord Derby speaks of tlio w;?r tis ' tin- i

or Aggrandizement of any kind as the
i result of the war. ? r
The BriiiNh and French have now secure po*nession
of Canton, and can no doulit hold it.?
Tliey will again attempt to negotiate a pence
? upon bhe basis of their nltiinatiim, which Yeh
hgd rejected. The Emperor of China will no
doubt be informed of wbnt has occurred, though
it was Yeh's intention, as it is supposed, to keep
' him in ignorance of it. The Empeior may be
, willing to conclude a peace, hill, will lie encourage
tlie agressions of outside hurhariuus by the
. concessions which England and France require?
Tho jirospect is that the English will obtain
HO advantages whatevtrfromwho war, nor even

HON. W. W. BOYCE.
Ill ft ppqech delivered in the limine of Represent
n(ivfxr*' 11 poll (ectiouul titbit til ion, Ml'. Dovck,
of Si'uili Carolina, Hays the Washington l/niott,
reviewed the history of Hectiomil agitation as
connected willi tile admission of Louisiana and
Missouri, und the bearings of the decision of the
Supreme Court in the Pred Scott cafe upon the
issues involved, ilo contended that the clause
in the constitution which jjives Congress the
power to malic all needftil regulations for the
Territories would not lieur the construction put
upon it by the opposition, fur it was clear that
uio worn "icrritorit's" was useil in tliu sense of
property. If Congress had |>osscsscd I lie authority
claimed for it tlierc would liuvo been no necessity
for a special enactment iu the case of the
District of Columbia. lie then referred to the
legislation of the Northern States to show that
at the North the negro was not considered on an
equality with the white race, and cited I lie law
| iu Massachusetts to prohibit the negro fioni mar|
ryiiifj with white persons. Coming to the quo*I
tion of tlie admission of Kansns, he liehl that it
j was not necessary that a constitution should bo
1 submitted to a vote of the people. Yet the question
was submitted as to whether slavery should
be incieascd !>y importation, hut withholding
tlio power to confiscate the slaves already in
Kansas. The sincere anti-slavery parly was in
the minority ; it was not the object of the oppo|
sition to benefit the slave, hut to get possession
of all the Territoiics. They did all in the?r
power to make their people hate his people. If
they should succeed ill building tip this sectional
parly, in his opinion, the condition of the conquered
provinces of the Unman Kmpirc would
lie more desirable than that the South would occupy.
Then they would have hilt one step more
to take, anil that was to give their own construction
to the constitution of the laws. This pur
pose hail liiM'ii iivuwpil hy tlio t)ist.in^Hishr<l S??na
tor from Now York (Mr. Seward,) in slating that I
lie desired to sou I lie Supremo Court remodelled
in the interest ?>f liiiiiianiiy. They all under
stand what thai, meant. In such tin event there
remained hill one course for the South to pus-sue,
and that, was at all hazards to take their destinies
in their own hands.
DR. LIVINGSTON ON SLAVERY.
This gentleman who spent several years in Africa,
and who. with a eorps of explorers, is about
to return, while speaking at a farewell banquet
given Iniii in Loudon, gave expression to opinions
embodied in the following extract. The
conviction which he expressed is doubt less that
had by a large portion of the Knglish people.?
To strike a fatal blow ill African servitude in
this country, and thus destroy the chief element
of American commerce and prosperity, would
be England's glory; Vet, straugo to sav, in this
work of demolition, she has thousands of willing
allies under the leadership of Ckkki.v, Skw.\ki>,
mnl others ol' like character. Jiut tu the extract:
"I feel convinced that if we can establish a
svsl?*iii of live labor ill Africa, that it will have
most decided influence 11 imhi slavery thmiiifhout
tin* world. (I.miisI cheers.) Success, however,
iiiidcr Providence, depends upon us as Knirlisltmeii.
1 look upon Ku^li.-liiiu'ii as perhaps the
must freedom-loving people in the worlil; ami I
lliilik that (lie kindly feeling wliieli has been
displayed towards ine since my return lo my native
land has arisen from the lielief that my efforts
might at .some I'linire tiinu lend to put an
end to tin:odious tratlin in slaves. ([,mul cheers.)
Kniflanil lias, unfortunately, been compelled tu
ohtaiu cotton and oilier raw material from slave
States feheers,) and has thus hecii the mainstay
and support of slavery in America. Surely, then
it follows that if we can succeed in obtaining the
raw material from other sources than from the
slave Stales of America, weshouhl strike a heavy
blow at the system of slavery itself. (Loud
cheers.) I do not wish to arouse expectation in
coimeetioii with this expedit ion which may never
be realized; hut what I want to ilo is In tret in
the thin end of the Wedge (cheers,) and then 1
leave it to he driven home by Kiiglish energy
and I'intrlish spirit." (Loud cheers.)
WHAT HE THINKS OF IT.
Col. II. I'Yi.i.kh, who, for many years was Editor
of the New York Mirror, has been traveling
for three months in the South, in company with
I >r. Ciiaui.ks Mack a %*, of Loudon, has written a
letter to the New Orleans I'lcai/imc, i:i which he
slates his convictions in reference to slavery:
"Thus far in my rambling notes I have nut
touched upon the 'peculiar institution' and tickI
lisli subject of .slaverv. Hut I cmi n?
B ? "" ,c
fra.ii! from fxprcssiii); tlw opinion I have lons? entertained,
nntl which has now Rettled into a con*
vicliou, thai the master is ti far greater suflerer
mulct* the system tlinu the slave. The latter, so
far as my observations have extended, is everywhere
well eared for, well treated, ami not overtasked.
1 have not yet seen otic unhappy looking
negro in the South, and have not lieatd hut
onu crocs word uttered by a master to a slave.
Let .Mrs. Bcecher Stowe put this in her pipe and
smoke it.
'I have witnessed more uukimlncss, more suffering,
more inhumanity, in the city of New
York in one day, than 1 have seen in the South
in three months. In fact, 1 have seen here no suffering
at .d I; no evidences of hunger, or cold, or
destitution, or wrctcheduess, of any description
among the blaeks. The malignant philanthropy
of tho Northern Abolitionists is lllterlv waiited in
Ilieir dolorous clamor over ilia ' miseries of the
|ioi>r slave.' Tlicy know nothing of the practical
workings of ili? system lliey nre so noisily
and so mischievously berating."

i;ooil men and true as can be mustered hy the
lirst of April, when it is expected all the necessary
plans for the successful issue of the expedition
will be completed. So far as I can learn,
the plan of operations is to avoid all interference
with the neutrality laws, au.l laud the ui?u
in Mexico an emiginnts without amid or munitions
of war, which are already en route for Mataiuoros,
where the first organization is to take
Col. Lockridgc informs mo tlint he lias been
engaged in tliis movement for some time, and
that lie litis received the most cni-ilinl co-operation
of some <>f the lending men at the Noitli, where
the necessary means have been raised; and that
whether he meets with success in Texas or lint,
in procuring men, the expedition will certainly
Marl about the time name<l in his letter. The
States, out. of which the new republic is to he
formed, lire already ill often revolution ugaisiist
the Central (iuVerimient, an<l have invited assistance
from the United States ; so that this enn
scarcely be called a iilli blistering iiiovtlilciit, inasmuch
as no purl of the neutrality laws will ho
violated. The Slates have each declared against
the Zuloaga ( nvernmcnt.; and, so 60011 as the
required assistance can he furnisheil, are prepared
to declare in favor of Yidatirria, who is expected
to lie placed at the head of the new republic.?
The abdication of (.'onionfort, the probable recall
of Santa Anna, the weak and unpopular charactei
ol the new ( overiiment. all favor the present
eiitei-fiiiso, which has been regarded as an inevitable
consequence for some time past, though so
favorable an opportunity as the present, to strike
a successful blow for liberal principles was scarcely
anticipattul so soon.
The names 1 have heard mentioned in coniiec-.
lion with this enterprise, are such as to give the
best guarantee of its certain success, Imt a positive
union of action is necessary, an 1 hence llie
delay in giving ii publicity. The first mention I

an<l I am informed his name lias been mentioned
in connection with I his movement, Ijut so milch
s'-crucy is observed ahout the whole allair, it is
very dillicult to arrive at the facts of the case,
though a few days more will probably make a
tlntoitiiin til of a startling character.

The Ilrrivnl Iiierru.sin;/.?The levelling Post
says that tha revival movement, is extending in
New York. In no less than fifteen churches in
that city are noon prayer meetings held on secular
days, not to speak of Burton's old theatre, which
is so crowded that negotiations are pending to
obtain KOtiie larirer Imililimr. Tn Itr.w.ble,.
increased milliner of churches will lie opened for
those who nre concerned on religious mailers,
iiih! all llie signs portend that tin- excitement lias
not reached its culmination. Legislative prayer
meeting.-; lire held at. I lie Court of Appeals daily
in Albany, merchants mid lawyers have prayer
nice tings, Indies have their tip-town praver meetings,
und there is some talk of a brokers' player
meeting at the Exchange, between the first and
second .Boards.
One ureal auxiliary to the spread of llie revival
is t he notice taken of it. by I lie secular press.
Column after column is devoted to the record of
religious experiences, und revival intelligence is
made us much l,a feature" as financial or pnlilicel
news. This is quite unprecedented, ami shown
the extended usefulness cf the press of lale
years. Certainly never was religious propaganda
ism so thoroughly carried out. Printed hymns,
tracts, placards, every where remind the iiiutteu- i
live of ilieir duties, (iirla and ynun<r men visit
fiitnil:??s by t.lic block i^ivinc? them tracts, urging
them 10 repent, offering tli?-in Ire? scats in llie
neighboring church, and Inking an inventory or
spiritual census of the number und condition of
the households. Altogether, the revival may he
pronounced the most striking phenomenon of the
day.

The / '/ni iiht War.?The Oeala (Florida) Com- j
ptiniun confirms the. recent report* from other f
somites of the prohahle early teriiiiiiation of the ^
war auain<t. the Indians in Florida. In its mini- j
ber of the !llh ilist., it says:
We learn from passengers who arrived here
on the stage from Tampa, on the 5th inst., that there
is now u fair prospect of an immediate
termination of the .Seminole war. The delegatiou
from the West had lieen into the Indian
country, and, being unahlt to find anything of
How legs or his tribe, had returned, hut. soon
made another effort to find tiiem on;.- On the '
lust occasion they had not proeeetled far before |
iliey met a hearer of a white ling, and soon met <
Itilly himself with several of hU men. llilly said
that he was satisfied with war, ns were most of
his men ; hut he wished to see Juniper, who did
not go out witii the rest of tlie delegation, before I
lie could say what he would do. It is understood 1
that Hilly and Jumper have hemi at enmity for >
some time past, am) it is supposed that if they I
can make up their di'licully tin; Seniiuoles will
agree to ir>? West at once. We think the war
in Florida is at an end, hut would have no effort
relaxed for its earnest prosecution until the rid- j
dance is completed."
A JW/n Process.?A western correspondent,
who avows himself to have been incited to exertion
by the success of the "lieu persuader," has
invented a " Mvrhr ami fltix/i'r, Mixiit'i J lachinr,"
which, we think ti.usl come into general
use. It. is very simple; so are all great, inventurns.
The plan, briefly stated, is as follows:
"First, procure a common niorter bed; put in
the component parts, such as are generally used;
then add a little corn the quantity of which is to '
I,., rrr...1 I... r 1
u; mi* 111 i<y ui umri.er or juast.er
to l?? made. Tlion turn in si few swine; and
liy (he lime the corn is gnue, tin- niorlor will be (
reiuly for use. In making plaster, the swine '
should stay in over night, to allow lime for re- 1
moving the hair, which the lime will accomplish; ]
thus saving the expense, of purchasing that ur- .
tide. The swine can then he removed aiul 1
slaughtered, without, the expencc of scruping; I
thus, together with the labor of mixing, saving 1
at least one third the cost of the ohl plan." I low
this may strike sculptors, masons, lath mid plasterers,
and others interested ill plaster, morter,
etc., we of course cannot say; hut to us, the invention
seems quite n feasible one.?Knickrr

work, its durability and f>iutplieity. The operalion
of it is easier learned than that of any other
Machine while it works with ease on the finest
silk or tho heaviest cloth or leather, on either of
which it works in a very superior manner; nm
king n straight evenly laid seam much finer than
ordinary band work, while both sides of the cloth
ire stitched alike. It rarely gets out of working
jrder or requires repairing, ami is so simple tlm*.
in operator can perform all ordinary repairs on |
it,'until it is worn out. Willi these advantages I
