Philadelphia. We gave a ahort notice oflton Thurs

It s absurd tp suppose that any thing here ssid
will brwficlslljr affect this mutter. But our citizen,
on reading the article, will be struck with lh differ
ence between the north and the south, In regard tu
love of order and obedience to law. Such a scene
i ,. . , .
could not be (rot up In North OirolinaTor X by any
' possibility a confusion of the sort should anse-it

n irivca. utmost monihlv. nn exhibition of rnffi-
anism, disgrnceful to the land, and w hich tliu heath

Philadelphia, however, is not alone chargeable
w im thesa monstrosities. New York and other n&r
thern cities, give us often a specimen of what can be
done in this wmiv, in cities that have reached the ac
me of civlliza'lon und refinemcht.
Arid all this is submittad to rather than enforce tha
law, liy proceeding noncf to Us extreme Issue, ns an

Liverpool on the Olh inst, and consequently brings
seven days later intelligence from all parts of Eu

The eteatner Hibcrnia, on hot last passage out,
arrived at Liverpool on Moflday, making the passage
from Koaton if the unrivaled short period of nine
days.
The crops in England and France are reported as
growing finely.
Affairs on tho Continent had undt?one no import
ant change, though, events had been neither few nor
trilling.
Proceedings of Parliament Mr Gladstone
gave notice that on the 14 h he would bring forward
a motion respecting thejate events in Canada. Lord
Russel gave a pledge that in tho moan time nothing
should be done to prejudice Ihe present position of
the rebellion losses' bill.
The conduct of the American Government, in re.
ference to' the expedition tf search for Sir John
Franklin, the missing navigator, has been alluded to
in Parliament in very flattering terms.
FRANCE.
The formation of the new Cabinet has been effect
ed by a coalition between Odillon, liarrot and Du-
fauvrv. The new minify is the sum: as the old ex
cept M Dufuuvr, who takes the Department of the
Minwier of the Interior ; M. Du Tarquville, that of
Foreign Affairs, and M. Daquencas, that of Com
merce. Much surprise w as excited by the dismission of
Marshall Bugeaud from the list ul the in w cabinet.
The i'nris papers generally express thair disapproval
of ihe compromise, and predict iis failure. The Rod
Republicans are particularly violent in denouncing
the new Ministry. ,
The message of llio President of the French Re
public to the Legislative Assembly ia published in
the Paris papers of Tuesday. It is composed upon
the American and not the European mode, filling
four columns of the European Times.
Tho Prealdent of France, in his message, says that
it is the destiny of France to shake the world when
she shall be agitated, and to tranquilize it when she
ihifl Vc In state of peace, and adds : ' As toon as I
shall have power, some important questions must
be discussed respecting various Eurpean matters be
yond the Rhine and the Alps, and from Denmark to
Sicily there is an interest for us to reserve, and an in"
fluence for us to exercise.
After reviewing the important events which have
taken pluce in Europe during the past year, the mes
sage goes on as follows:
"At Homo a revolution was effected which ere
ated great ctnotioa in the Catholic and liberal world.
In fact, for two years we were accustomed lo behold
in '.he holy sec a Pontiff who look the initiative in
every useful reform, and whose name was reported
in hymns of gratitude front one end of Italy lo the
other. It was the symbol of Liberty, a guerdon of ,
ull hopes, when suddenly we learn with astonish-i
mcnt that ihe sovereign who wan lately the Idol of j
his people, hud been compelled to fly secretly from i
his c ipital.
"Thus the acts of aggression which obliged Pius
to quit Rome, nppcared to the eyes of Europe lo be
works of conspiracy lather than the movements ol
ihe people, who could not have passe In an instant j
from mosl lively enthusiasm to most alllicting ingrat
itude. The Catholic powcra sent Ambassadurs to ,
O tela to occupy themselves with grave interests of
the Papacy. France ought have been represented
I iltr. hut m)n liHteneH ivirhnni rnmmitlim.i herself lo .
force of action : but after Ihe defeat of Navara, mat- '
ters took a more decided tnrn.
'Austria, in concert with Naples, answering to
the appeal of the holy father were notified by the
French government thai It should take ita part, be
cause their powers had decided upon marching on
Rome to re-es:ablieh there the suthority of the Pope
in its purity and simplicity. Placed amder the ne
cessity of explaining ourselves, wc had but three
modes, cither to oppose ourselves In arms to every
specie of intervention, in which case we would
break peace with all Catholic Europe, for the sole
advantage of the Roman Republic, which we bad to
recognise or leave the combined forces to re-establish
at their will th Papal authority; but to exer
cise our ownmolion to direct an Ii. dependent action,
the Republic adopted ihe last mode. The rest re
mains to be told, and the difficulty la still unsolved."
HUNGARY.
Hungary presents rw new feature, and since the
fall of lluda Into the hands of Ihe Hungarians, no
event has occurred calculated to have a permanent
Influence on the result of the struggle, though the
Hungarians have, however, achieved further and la
some respects important victorl s. The contestanls
are concentrating their forces, nnd accounts of a tre
mendous battle ar every day looked fbr.
The Austrian General Wllden, hna been lupereed
cd by Lieut. Haynols ; Prince Paskeernltch will
command the united Auatrlan forces In the East, and
(3en. dayman in ihe West.
Tho lauel intelligence from Venice left the Aus
tiiana under Marshal Redetaky, who was preparing
to bombard that city, which waa cloly invested on
aU sides.
It is reported thai tiie King of Sardinia haa placed
his army at the disposal of Ihe Hungarians, but the
report requires conllrmailon, ffr. .
V THE DANISH WAR,
The reports so constantly repeated,' that the war
bet ween tha Danes and Prussians la speedily to end,
are renewed, but we can sea no reliable evi .ence of
thsfat.
, The Danish blockade Is still strictly enfofeod.
ROME.
The Paris journals furnish Intelligence from Rome
tothe 2d inst. Hotillt lea had not then commenced.
General Oudinot had denounced the armistice.
M. Lesseps has failed In his mission to conquer
the Romans Into affection for France, and has re
turned to Paris for Inrther instructions. Some ac
counts say he waa recalled, anfl that the same mes
senger carried back lrusiructions to Oen. Oudinot for
the reduction of tho Holy Ciiy to subjection at all
hazards., and that he would commence an attack
with an army of 25,000 men on the 30ihofMuy.
The Romuns havo announced their firm resolution
lo defend the city lo the death against the expected
assault, and it Is stated that ihey have a lorcc of 0,
000 troops, which is deemed sufficient for ihat pur
pose. Tho Pope still persists in demanding an unquulifi
e I renewal of his power as temporal ruler, und the
Tiiuniviretc, backed by the people, declare that they
will never concede. Mazzim's determination is
most profound, and determined to accomplish the
thorough destruction of tho Pope's temporal power.
He aays : "We shall show fight to the last against
all projects of restoration."
GERMANY.
The Frankfort Parliament has determined to exer
cise lis influence to form a Republic after the French
model, to be composed of Baden, Wirtemburg, Rhc
nislt Bavaria, qV.
The Plenipotentiaries of Prussia, Hanover and
Saxony, have promulgated a new Constitution for
Germany, In which the principle of universal suf
frage is engrafted. In the present, as in former at
tempts to form a union of the German States, the
King of Prussia Is made the prominent head. Aus
tria Is excluded from tho present arrangement. All
the other States arc un ited, but it is doubtful wheth
er the plan will succeed.
INDIA.
The overland mail from India bad arrived. Re
ports from the India markets continue (ratisfiictory.
IRELAND.
Lord CI ireridon has offici dly announced that the
sentence of death pronounced on the State prisoners
has been commuted to transportation for life.
In tho Western provinces of Ireland the condition
of the people is said to be most deplorable. Society
is utterly disorganized.

the dancing master of bowing and scraping not
the fopieh, Infidel etiquette of a Chesterfield but
banetolcnce, the graces of iho heart, whatever lhin?
ure true, honest, just, pure, lovely, and of good
report. The true secret of politeness is lo please, to
make hnppy flowing from goodness of heart a
fountain of lovo. As you leave the family circle for
rtircment, my good night when you rise, good,
morning. Do you meet or pass a friend in the
street, bow gracefully wilh the usual salutations.
Wear a hinge on your neck keep it well oiled nnd '
above all study Solomon and the cmstles of Paul.
Be Civil. When the rich Quaker woe saked the i
secret ol his success in life he answered, "Civility, l
friend, ciilily." Some people are uncivil, aour, I
su len, morosiy crabbed, crusty, haughty, really
clownish and Impudent. Run for your life ! ''Pcesl ;
thou a man wise in his own conceit ! There is
more hope of a fool than him."
tie Kind to KrtryhodyThert is nothing like
kindneaa it sweetens every thing. A single look
ofluve, a smile, a grasp of the hand, has gained
more fliends than both w cabh and larninp,. "Char
ity suffereth long ntvl is kind.,' See 1 Cor , xiii.
NVrcr Strike Hack That is, never render evil
for evil. Some hoys give eye for eye, tooth lor
tooth, blow for blow, kick for kick. Awful' Linle
boys, hark! What' says Solomon? ".Surely the
churning of milk liingelh forth luttir, nnd tin'
wringing pf the nose lulngcth blood, so the loicing j
of wrath brln orth forth strife." Recompense to no
mnnewlfur evil; but overcome evil with good.
"Lovo your enemies, bless them that curse you "
In reply to a question, avoid the liiiMiosyll.it l a
yes and no, thus : "Is your father In good health ''
instead of saying, "Yes, sir," say, 'Very giod.sir,
thank you.''
Aoid vulvar, common-place, or sl.ni.' phrases,
such as ' by jinks." "first rate," "I'll bet," Ac. Bel
'ing is not merely vulgar, but sinful ; a species of
gambling. Gentlemen never bcl.
'AiiiA- before you Speak. Think twice, think what
to speak, how to speak, to whom to speak, and with
all to hold up your head and look the person to
whom you are speaking full in the face with modes (
dignity and assurance. Some lads have a foolish,
sheepish bashfulnass, sheer off, hold down their heads
and eyes, aa If Ihey were guilty of ehecp-slcsling j I
Never be ashamed lo do right. ,
