Symp toms of rebellion had appeared In many places, but thus far the pronunciamiexips bad been easi ly put down. . - -V I' - Three pranunciamientos continued to occupy public attention. The.flrst was that of Guitian and Osollo, at Pucbla. These chieflaios, having succeeded in corrupting a portion of the 11th re giment, attempted a coup de main upon Puebla. The Government, however, being advised of their movements, dispatched a large force to the threa tened city. The rebels, beholding the prepara tions made for their reception, grew disheartened and abandoned their attempt,; retreating in the direction of Oajaca.- - ? The second effort at rebellion by Uraga has proved by nojneana formidable; Uraga has been coldly received in the neighborhood of San Luis Potosi, and has won over few partisans to his cause.

Ia letter from John Young, Esq., to the Chief Commissioner of tbe Canadian Public Works it is stated that the trade ofjCanada ia tending towards the United States and to American channels to . market, instead of seeking an outlet through tbe St. Lawrence to the occean. The amount of Can adian trade has been greatly increased by the re ciprocity treaty, bat it takes a direction towards New York and Boston, and benefits the Erie can al and tbe railroads in the United States.', ' Anew and liberal policy was inaugurated by ' England in 1846 as regards her. North American colonies. Prior to that time Upper Canadian trade was poured through the rente of the St. Lawrence and centered almost exclusively in the tt!a of Onebee ind HontAiI. Protection to Canadian produce in the English market ceased in 1847. Differential duties were repealed in the same year. The St. Lawrence canals were open- ed for traffic in 1849, and in the same year the United States drawback and bonding bill -came Into operation. Canadians could thus import for eign goods through tbe United States in bond and ah!n Canadian nrodnrfl alWa in bond for exnofta- (Ion at United States Atlantic ports. . . ; The exportation of cereals from Canada into the United States had before been very trifling id amount, but it increased in 1854 to an amount e- j qrual to 762,575' barrels of flour. Toe total value of imports into Canada from the United States was increased from $5,724,806 in 1649 to S1T.8Q0.739 in 18SV v I The reciprocity treaty hair, according to Mr. Young, insured to the advantage of trade with the United States; while the St. Lawrence has failed to attract any American vessels on the upper lakes - through that river to the ocean. . i j . ' The SL Lawrence was made free to Ameriawn vessel uy inai treaty, oui not at too h Aocncia ahipping has as yet chosen this routo. In order to attract trade from American to Canadian chan- d!s Mr. Young recommends, first, the enlarge , ment of tbe Wetland canal; and, second, the con struction of a canal to connect the St. Lawrence with take Champlalh. f f ; 4 M ' ' J But it ia to be doubted whether these improve meets would divert trade from the natural chan nel whicn it has taken under the reciprocity trea ty. Ouf Atlantic cities must continue to be the depots and entrepot-of Canadian trade; f '' ' r " Washington Globe. VROaT CENTRA'S- AMERICA.

Tbe steamer Africa arri ved this morning, bringing dates from Liverpool to the 9tb Instant.. Tbe Baltic arrived at Liverpool on the 8th Inst. I The news consists merely of an extension of the pesos rumors of the previous steamers. - I Tbe feeling in England continues warlike, and in France it is sgaln becoming so. Russia continues incessant in her preparations for further operations. There ia but little news from tbe Crime. Tbe French-blew op one of the Sebastopol. docks on the 22d. ; . j Affairs in Atia are unchanged. I British news is unimportant.

It is expected that it will contain neither an absolute assent, or refusal, but will make counter proposals to be settled by renewed conferences. It is again confidently asserted that Austria will submit certain peace propositions to the German Diet, and call 00 tbe Diet to support them. 5 ' '-- THS CBIMEA.

Omar Pacha had arrived at Batoum. Ilia army had suffered much from a lack of provisions be fore reaching Kutais, and being unable to proceed, deemed It prudent to return. Tbe fall of Kara had rendered Omar Pacha very unpopular at Constantinople. . A conncil of war was being held at Constanti nople, directing all tbe efforts of tho Turkish sr- my toward the defence of Erzeroum and Trebi- sonde. .:' ; ; , ausMi. :: Tbe grand war council at St. Petersbng was principally engaged with questions relating to the fortification of the atrategic points of tbe Em pire.

There U nothing important from England. Pa ris letters silnding to the report that the United States had made a treaty with tbe Shah of Persia guaranteeing bis territory - on the Persian Gulf, says that no such treaty baa been made, yet it is certainly true that most friendly advances bavo been made ; and it is unfortunate that at tbe mo ment Russia and America are intriguing with tbe Shah, a suspension of Persian diplomatic relations with England bad taken place. I ITALY. Political excitements contiue. At Rome there was a report In circulation that Mexico, bad sup pressed ber legation and withdrawn her minister. The archives of the office of the legation were ssid to be already packed np. THE LATEST. ; The Berlin papers pesk not unfavorably of the disposition of Russia to consider the allied proposals. MOM ASIA The Russian army took posit ion at Ears on the 3d of December, the troops being qosrtered ia town, leaving a small detachment ofCossacks oc cupying the fortification atTohanly Dagb. At Yeuikeuiji, a village on the road to Erzoroum, the Russians bad collected large stores of pro visions.' ',. -TheRossisn General was apprehensive of an attack upon Ears by Selim Pacha, and, conse quently, had concentrated all bia available forces at that point. Selim Pacha was encamp d in tbe mountains of Dercb Boy non. A Russian attack on Eizeronon was not consid ered probable at present, in consequence of the exhaustion of bis troops and tbe state of tbe roads. I BRILLIANT DESCRIPTIVE WRITING. Bayard Taylor, who accompanied the layers of the Newfoundland Submarine Telegraph, drop ped a letter at Halifax for the New York Tribune, which contains tbe following brilliant passsge:' As we stesmed down tbe Bay, passed the gla ring sand-hills of Coney Island, the lighthouses on Sandy Hook, and entered the open Atlantic, there was no swell to disturb the cheerfulness of our landsmen and landmaidens. Tbe sea wss blue and tranquid, scarcely rippled by the breeze, and stretching away on tbe right to a far horizon. On the left ran the iron beaches of Long Island, not now loud ami terrible with tremendous break ers, but gleaming as sflif behind their Jeathery kern of surf as if they had never known a wreck. The hills of Nevcrsiuk gradually faded behind us as we went easward; tho White House of Rocka- way came and receded : and still tbe ocean was smooth as an inland lake, the sky fair as a dream of the tropics, and our goodly company sparkling with smiles of self-gratnlalioo. Even T. v . s " ,. swa ' me oroKen uuik 01 ine 1 ranKiin, oing on.aio rickes, which we passed at sunset, did not excite tbe apprehension of the roost timid. A cliff of crimson cloud, which overhung the descended sun, gradually fell and spread along tbe Long Is land coast, heavy with electric beat, and for two or three hoars we had a superb display of light ning pyrotechnics. Quivering sheets of golden flame, darting hither and thither, seemed flaying at hide-and-seek behind the clouds ; javelins of white brilliance were hurled from the loopholes of thei frowning bastions', the rush, the assault, tbe re treat, the dance of triumph, followed each other in rapid succession, until the bank of clouds rose, rolled towarda us, and broke into sheets of warm rain.

' APPEAL FOB THE POOR A The following eloquent poem In praise of those who give to th poor, weope will serve, at this incleme ' season, to awaken a spirit of emulation among tbe ber volst. . There are, indeed, at this time maty suCerers who need a helping band, and whose mate appeals should not pass unregarded. Tbe charity which begins at borne is at best bnt another phrase of selfishness; that which extends- to the poorer neighbor does honor to humanity, and ia worthy to be celebrated in immortal verse.

INTERESTING FROM ROME. , We gather the following from a letter In the (N. J.) Advertiser, dated Rome, December 21 The venerable widow of Louis Philippe, who has been seriously ill at ber charming winter res idence in tbe neighborhood of Genoa, is, I am bappy to say, convalescent. Her sons, Prince de Joinville and the Duke d'Aumale, have, in conse quence, set out on a visit to Eagland, via Genua ny. Mr. Fillmore, who is accompanied by Dr. Foote, of Buffalo, formerly Minister to Austria, still lin gets at Florence, but is expected to reach this city next week. Among the American winter residents in the country I notice the name of the senior editor and proprietor of tbe New York Herald. The weather bas become freezing cold. Most of the streams of tbe Peninsular are closed with ice, and the bills are everywhere covered with snow. It is confessedly tbe severest wiuter, thus far, experienced in Italy in twenty years. The fete of the Immaculate Conception, which commenced on the 8th, was protracted to the 15th an octave of sacerdotal festivity. To signalize the occasion the Pope declared a jubilee, and ac corded full indulgence from tbe first day to the 13th, Sunday of the Advent The Holy See is seeking to fortify itself by calling in counsellors from abroad. At tbe Con sistory of thfi Sacred College, on the 17th Inst., four new cardinals were created, who are to re- aide at Rome, viz : Archbishop Villecourt of Ro- chelle, in France tbe septegenarian doctor who Dronouaced the declaration of tn Immaculate Conception, an act of divine inspiration, superse ding the necessity of all historic evidence the Archbishops of Vienna (Rauscher) and of Mu nich, (Reisach,) and Mgr. Gaude, Procurer Gen eral of the Dominicans. Four other prelates, 1 am weS assured, have been designated for pro motion at tb next Consistory in March, viz Mgra. Pietro, lata .Apostolic Nuncio at Lisbon, Medici, the Major-domo of Hi Holiness, Gian Buzzi, Auditor of the Chamber, and Grasselinni, pro-legate of Bologna. Tbe promotion of the French prelate, beside being highly fit ia Itself, is held to be a capital stroke of policy, since it , conciliates the Easperer Napoleon, who has enga ged to pay the expenses of tbe installation, esti mated at 80,000 franca.' His Eminence will be tbe French counselor of the Holy 8ee in the Sa cred College, and thus receive the usual salary of resident cardinals, $4,000, besides perquisites. - ' CONGRESSIONAL CAUCUS.

The Salt Lake City Deseret News says: Brig- bam Young is the only man that can govern Utah to the satisfaction of the people. We do not wish wholly to discourage those gentlemen who may be plotting and scheming' in order to obtain polit ical distinction and preference in Utah ; let them work out their own- discomfiture and disgrace. and they will then fee! as tbe nigger felt after lie had been whipped so much the better, after they are done smarting. We recommend all peo ple henceforth to mind their own business, and leave Merraonism to those who can hsndle it. for sll its opponents who have yet entered tho field are notoriously incompetent to touch its interests in sny manner. The Latter Day Saints are known to be in good bands ; their destiny is with the Al mighty. It is his power and influence that has placed Gov. Young in his present honorable sta tion, and he will keen them therein as long as it is expedient. Tbe Lord bas given him sufficient wisdom to cope with tbis generation ; no matter i i what position he may be placed, be is equal to every emergency, tie is a perfect master or t ne ology In all its branches; ss a politician he is un equalled; as a tactician, be cannot be excelled His influence over tbe people is a hnndrcd per cent greater than that of any o'her Governor, in the United 8tatei, and both saints snd sinners en dorse him as the most honorable man in all the country.

" paper. It will contain .all available statistics ia every department of the operations of the METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SODTIL L The design embraces the Plan of Episcopal vUi tation; accounts of the sessions of sll the Confer ences held tn IS65, the appointments, numbers, 4cj a summary or all reported revival, notices of the dedication of new Churehes; reports of College Commencements, with all ele connected wti our educational movements! a resume of our Mission ary operations, embracing whatever seems of gene ral Interest in that department ; the movements of the Tract and Sunday School Societies; whatever appertains to r publishing Interests, with an nouncements of all New Books published by our Concern, or written bv Southern Methodists ; what the Church is doing for the Instruction of Slaves Historical and Biographical Essays; interesting personal re miniscences i snd a miscellany of im portant facts and incidents. THE "ANNALS." It is believed, will be a fair and full daguerreotype of the progress of Southern Methodism. It will occur to you st once, that if 1 have rue ceided in preparing this volume with anv reasons" ble amount of skill, it will not only be a very agree able book for present reading, but that every year will add to tu value aa showing the posture of Sou thern Methodism at this particular juncture of lie history. THIS DIGEST Will be specially valuable as a Book of reference. To whatever question of general in' ore! may arise in regard to tbe events of 1855, it Is hoped that a satisfactory answer wilt be found in ihe Annals. While it is believed that the Ministers in our Church will desire copies as soon as they can be' obtained, I have paid regard to the what I suppos ed the taetcsof general readers. The older mem bers of the Cburi:h wiil find sketches" that carry them back to their earlier compeers, as in thisde partment 1 have not restiictcd myself to the histo ry of the year, but have collected whatever hns ap peared during tho year, which, aa h'story and biog raphy, preserves the memoirs of the olden lime, and of the early men of Southern Methodism. The work will be published at One Dollar a copy. Those who subscribe in advance, shall receive the first copies issued from the press. A cd dollar pasted in a letter can be- sent securely and is pref erable to bills of distant anks. Those of the banks in North and South Carolina will be as good as gold.

REED'S" -' PATENT CHRONOMETER ENGINE. 'pHIS ia an improved Steam Engine fcr which i Letters Patent were granted to John A. Reed. of New Yoik, Jan.;0. 1853. The nature of this Improvement consists of the increase of power about 20 per cent., and reduci.ig the weight of tbe Engine one hair. The saving of fuel is etJeeted by letiine the steam in on both sides of the cylinder; doubling the size of the port, and balancing the T: ,v. r .. i r r .i. slide valves, eccentrics, cross heuds, connecting rods, dj-c. The exceeding simplicity of this En gine, renders it much more durable and easily man aged than any other, and when placed upon the bol ler with wheels it is portable though effective. These Engines received the Frst Prize Medal st the great Exhibition in Paris. Theie-re now about Seventy-five of them in operation, all giving great satisfaction.
