FRIDAY March 9, 1866 Foreign Items. —The Cape of Gcod Hope mails to January 15 had been received in En gland. The war between the Free States and the Basutos continued, but only in name. Great distress continued to pre vail among the working class from lack of employment and among the fanners from the failure of their crops. Com mercial matters were dull, but bread stuffs had considerably advanced in con sequence of the blockade of Valparaiso. —ln the House of Commons on the 15th nit., Lord Cardwell introduced a bill for the future government of Jamaica. He briefly explained that the Govern ment had thought fit to*ratify the decis ion which the Legislature of Jamaica had arrived at abolishing itself, and it would be proposed to establish a govern ment, similar to that in Trinidad, for a period of three years, and it the experi ment was successful then it would be made permanent. If not, some other arrangement would be devised. Mr. Labouchere gave notice that on the 23d he would call attention to the inadequacy of the Neutrality laws to enable England to fulfill her interna tional obligations toward foreign coun tries. The Government bill on the cattle j disease was debated and amended in i several particulars and passed through committee. The Vimes assumes that Mr. Glad stone's budget will show an excess of income over expenditures of about three miliiou sterliug. It thinks Mr. Glad stone will attempt to reduce the national debt. . —lt is rumored that Sir Charles Wood late Secretary for India, has been offered and accepted the Peerage. —The Daily News believes that the Government has acceded to the propo sitions of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in England, and that henceforth the Senate of the Queen's JJniversit.y in Ire land will consist of half Protestants and j half Roman Catholic. The London Times gives great 1 prominence to a letter urging a post! potiement of the reform question, on the ground that politicians show an in difference to the matter, and Parliament has to consider many ether matters of pressing importance. Some interesting experiments had been tried on board the Great Eastern 1 with Mr. Willoughby Smith's new sys I tern of testing the insulation of tele I graph cables. It is stated that by this ! system a perfect continuous testis main j tained during the laying of the cable, so j that a.iy loss of insulation or solution of continuity of the conductor is instantly detected on board the vessel even during the time that messages are being trans mitted from the ship to shore, or vice versa. In the event of injury to the j cable while in the tank the discovery ■ would be so prompt that the paying out would be stopped before it was possible f that the injured portion could pass over j the paying out wheel into the sea. —Late advices from Syria report that 4,000 Turks attacked 500 Maronites, commanded by Joseph Karan, near Tripoli, and that Karan had repulsed three assaults, and captured four guns and several prisoners. The Turks, at last accounts, were receiviug reinforce ments. —The Army & Navy Gazette says that the troops iu Ireland are being dis tributed more and more among the small towns, thereby giving greater feel ing of security. Iu the debate on the address to the Emperor, M. DePesigny contended that the English' Parliamentary institutions were unsuited to France.- The Emperor, he said, had given to France double liberty, founded on the solid basis of authority. It depended on public opinion to develop the liberty granted by the Constitution- M. Rouland said that the existing liberties of France were suf ficient, *hile the Marquis De Boissy maintained a contrary opinion. Finally the address in response to the Emperor’s speech was unanimously adopted. The weekly returns of the Bank of France show an increase in cash on hind of fifteen millions of francs. The bank has reduced its rate of discount to 4} per cent. Among the reasons assigned for the AUGUSTA, GA.,FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 9,1866. NO. 59. large stock of bullion in the bank ot France is, that while the drain of specj| was going on from England, large ship menu of French manufactures were be ing made to the United States, all for cash, while at the same time there wete no inaterinP'investments being made by the French in Federal bouds or other American securities. The Paris Panic. says that the new Peruvian frigate Huasear, lying at Brest, had enlisted French sailors, but they were subsequently disembarked at the request of the authorities. The Paris Bourse was firmer, and the Rentes closed at 67f. 07c. SCISSORS. —No. 1. saddle horses sell in Hous ton, Texas for SIBO and S2OO. —To catch mice, place sweetmeats in your mouth on going to bed, and keep it wide open. When you feel the whis kers of the mouse, bite. —Three of the Tortugas convicts have succeeded in escaping from the island in an open boat and reaching the Cuban coast. They were found by a Spanish vessel off Matanzax and taken to Havana. They gave their names as Berry, Adams and Swinton, though one was reported to be Spangler. —A few days since as the ferry boat was crossing the river at Columbus, Ga., the ferry-nan lost his hold upon the rope and the boat floated down over the falls below. The passengers were rescued by some boys who had skiffs convenient ly by; but the horse and carriage wete swept over the tails. Strange to say the horse was not killed. —Reports of great suffering through out the Western Territories from the severe cold and snow-storms, continue to come in. Capt. A. R. Fields, and several men of Company A, Second Minnesota Cavalry, during the night of Tuesday, the 13th ult., while on the march from Fort Wadsworth, D. TANARUS., to Fort Abercrombie, D. TANARUS, en route to Sauk Centre, Minn., were frozen to death. —The Lincoln (Delaware) Herald congratulates the people of that State, that owing to the killing of the peach buds in New Jersey, the Delaware peaches will command a good price this year. It says that although many of the peach buds in Delaware were in jured by the last cold weather, yet there are enough unhurt to insure a large crop. —The Pittsburg Gazette , speaking of the strikes at the rolling mills there, savs : “The iron manufacturers held a meeting yesten % and resolved not to resume work until their men would ac cept the reduced schedule of wages. The workmen seem equally determined, many of them having already gone to work at such employment as they can find, while others are casting about for something to do.” —The Washington Republican says that the postponement by the house until the second Tuesday iu April of the pro posed constitiftional amendment in re lation to the protection of life, liberty and property, is regarded by many mem bers of Congress as a defeat of the meas ure, at least in its present form. While the majority admit that the principles should be enforced, they are not ali agreed as to the means recommended by the committee on reconstruction to that end. —The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger telegraphs : “There is a most important rumor afloat this P. M., to the effect that Thaddeus had buried the hatchet, and in future will work more in harmony with the President. His first act of repentance was to forward to the President a letter soliciting the appointment of postmaster in Pennsylvania for a friend, whom he (Stevens) indorsed in full, and which the President received in his usual gra cious manner, granting the favor asked for within an hour afterward.” —Col. William M. Browning, Secre tary of Legation to Mexico, died in Washington, lately of paralysis, at the age of thirty-two. He went to YVash ington originally as Secretary to Mr. Johnson, when Senator from Tennessee, and when a military government was established in that State, he became at tached to the staff of Gov. Johnson. He continued upon that duty until he ac companied Mr. Johnson upon his return to Washington as Vice President, and continued with him as private secretary until about the Ist of December last, when he was appointed to the office which he held at his death.
