Prospects of Peace.
' The arrival of Hie Canada brings later news
from Europe, and shows definitely that nego
tiations are steadily progressing, and the pros
pec's of a speedy peace beyond a doubt. . The
Cincinnati Commercial of Tuesday says :
"The fact that Western Europe is dancing
with joy at the prospect of peace, while Ihe
movement is unpopular, and received with
sullen anger in Russia, shows that the Allies
will not be likely to insist upon very rigid and
Severe interpretations of the peace propose
tions; but, though assuming the swagger
victors, they will be disposed lo conciliation
and compromise. In Paris and Vienna the
prospect of a speedy pacification, is hailed
with enthusiastic joy. The English and Rus
sians grumble. John Bull feel very badly,
ud would like another smashing round,
counts the costs, and while he is resolved
eeem very warlike, and it is the policy of
ceprrsenlstive man, Palmerston, lo give
voice for war, there is no doubt but be will
suffer himself to be let down easy and recon
ciled to assume the virtue (having it not,)
generosity lo his foe.- The real victory of
Allies is in snatching the "sick man" from
Autocratic physician. The Russian march to
ward the Mediterranean is checked. The
course of Empire, which has rolled westward
for ages, is turned back. Imperial Constan
tinople has fallen into the hands of the pow
ers of the west. Instead of Cossa ks on the
Rhine, the Zouaves are on the Hellespont.'

The Election in New Hampshire.
The f.rst Slate election which comes off in
1855 is New Hampshire, says Hie Cincinnati
Enquirer, which makes choice of Governor
anil Legislature on the lllh of March next. U
being the opening of the Presidential cam
paign, as well as the resilience of President
Pir.acR, the result will be lookid to with much
nterest. Since 1S?9 the Sta'e has been Dem
mratic every'year, witn the excepiijn of 184G
and IS 55. She stood firm even in the hold
cider exci ement or 1810. and, save Illinois,
wu the only Northern Slate that gave Let
electoral vote to Mr. Van Cur km, the Demo
cratic candidate. But last year the Know.
Nothing and Black Republican fanaticism
combined were too much for her gallant De
mocracy. The allied force of fanaticism ard
bigotry carried the Slate b) majorities varying
from five to ten thousand, and by that means
seemed the two United Slates Senators.
There has been since a great reaction in pub-
lio opinion in favor of the Democrat, and we
have great confidence that she will return this
vcar into the I emocralic camp. We do nit
believe her sterling Democratic yeomanry can
be huml'Uvgcd twice in succession. They have
in the field a very able and popular candidate
for Gjvenior, Mr. Jous S. Wells, who has
been for some lime very industriously canvass
ing the State, n is Hindoo and Black-Repub
lican compettitor is H on Metcale, the pies
ent incumbent. The Democrats are working
vigorously for success.- Notwithstanding the
very inclement weather they had lately, a very
large mast meeting at Concord, Ibe capital of
the State, which was addressed by Senator
Wrtis of California, Mr. Oaa of South Car
olina. General Lmir of Oregon, nod Howki.l
Cobb of Georgia. These gentlemen made able
and splendid addresses, and coming as they
do from all purls of the country, and uttering
the same' polii ica I sentiments from thes.-.me
desk, it afforded a beautiful illustration of Ihe
nationality of the Democratic parly. - Every
where through this broad Union the creed o
the Democratic party is the same. N-jw
Hampshire Democrats agree with those of
South Carolina and Georgia, that the people
f every State and Territory should decide the
nature of '.heir own local and Democratic in
stitutions without Congressional interference,
Messrs. Cobb and Oaa are to address other
meetings in the State, and will draw immenre
rowds to liear them. While Senator Welle
was speaking in Concord, over a thousand
persons were unable to get into the large hall
where the meeting was held. Such is the
spirit of the people that the Black-RepuLli
Cans and Know-Nothings may expect with
great certainty a severe thrashing at tbetlec-
lion. ' ' '

that the same course of policy is being pur

it is no business of ours, but we mention it

Peace Prospects.
-The advantageous position of the Washing-'

to foreign sffuirs gives importance lo its views

It concludes ou article of sunn! two columns
os Mtows (
"We have not Ihe least idea that Ihe anti
cipated renewal r negoti linns will result in
neoce, unless the intlo f reii'-li alliance stiotilu

C'tiqucred, and abate a lure portion of Its
pretensions. She will probably yield lost
enough to shield Aust'ia Irom the necessity of
fulfilling her engagement (if . any positive
pledge has been given) to withdraw ber tm

gotiate, and no more. In the meaniime, theae
rumors and anticipations of peace answer a
very important purpose. A large loan is con
templated, and is, in fact, indispensable, both
in Great Britain and Frnnce. The British
Parliament is lust about meeting, a fresh bud

innlion of Ihe future institutions of tl-e Terri
tory, if carried into action from within tne

ami will, in either cane, juslilyand require
the-forcible interposition of the whole power
of the Geutral Government, as well to main
tain the laws of the Terotoiy ss those olllii

peaceably to their re-pective arouea, audio
worn all such persons thatanv attempted ifliiir
reclion in said Territory or aggressive intrusion
into the same will be resUted, not only by the
employment of the focal militia, but alw by
that of any available lorces or the United
Mates to the end of assuring immunity from
violence and full protection lo ihe persons,
property nod civil tigl ls of all peaceful and
law-nhiding inhabitants of the Territory.'
If in any purl of the Union the lury of fac
tion or fanaticism, inflamed into disregard of
the gnat principles of popular sovereignty,
which under (he Cidistitulisn are fundamental
in the whole structure of our institutions, it. to
bring on the country, the dire calamity or an
arbitrament of arm in thai Territory, it shall
be between lawless violence onlhe one .side
mid eonsefvaiiv fence on the oilier, wielded

to be executej Willi imperial jutlire; that ell
individual acts of illegal inteilereuec will in
cur condign punishment; and thut any en
deavor to intervene by o.gtuized force will
be firmly withstood.
I invoke all good citizens te p-omole ordei

Fire Last Nigh.—Destruction of the New York
Central Railroad Depot.

Last night, about eleven o'clock, our fire
men were arjnsed from their slumbers by the
harp ringing of bells on the cold night air.
Il was discovered that a lite had bioki n out
iu one of the Luggage rooms of the New nrk
Central Railroad depot, on Exchorue-stree:,
r.d in fifteen minutes 'he north-west comer
of the building wus enveloped iu flames.
Our firemen were on nan I in good time,
notwi branding the bitter coldness of ihe
evening, and immeuioieiy oppnei; memseiyrs
to the work or extinguishing the lire, which
they only partly succeeded in doing, as th-
frost prevent their machines irom wonting
The east end of Ibo d n t, however, was
saved, as was also an adjoining building.
The fire originated in the baggage room ot
the Lake Shore Road, from a stove pipe which
was placed near a windew. A large quantity
of baggage was stored in the room, a port only
or which wos rescued rom Ibe flame. The
Central Road shared the snrne rate, with the
entire contents of their ticket-office, except
tich articles a were locked up in the safe.
Fortuna ety Hie coochesin the depot' at the
time were taken out immedia'ely, or they
would have been destroyed. ILid there been
a high wind prevailing at Ihe time the Wads
Worth House and Railroad Hotel would luive
had but a poor chance nf escaping Ihe danger

the firemen were still engaged in playing on
the fire. Buio Courier' lith.

A dispatch from Washington to the Phila

"Mr. Buchanan' letters, received bv the
Arabia, represent the feeling in the, British
Ministry as being very scnMlive on the subject
of our relations. He had received Ihe request
for Mr. Crsmpton'a recall foiirteen hours be
fore the saili g of the steamer, but had not
presented it P "'( ''me. or course,
therefore, no intelligence has been received
of the effect it produced. Mr. Buchanan was
informed, however, oeioro.tne ponirvo ue
mand was dispatched, of the course the Ad
ministration would probably adopt in regard
lo the enlistment question, and doildlesa had
sounded Lord Clarendon on Ihe subject.
Hence his misgivings. .' '
"Mr. Buchanan thinks there w reasonoDie
ground to expect that peace will be made on
the basis nf ihe proposition suummea io tens

express the same confidence or hope. They
