The Canada arrived at Boston yesterday, and her mails were recoivcd hero this morning. We make tlje following extracts from our foreign file's A Waterspout.—One of these singular phe nomena of nature, v/hich seldom occur in these latitudes, happened on Saturday afternoon in the Bristol Channel. As tho Fanny and Jane) brig, 118 tons, from London to Bristol, was proceeding up channel, when about twelve miles off l’adstow she had her masts, bowsprit, and everything above dock carried away by a waterspout Some of tho paper slips dropped by the tele graphing balloons, sent up experimentally by the Admiralty at Whitehall, have been return ed by post from Hamburg and Altona, a dis tance of 450 miles direct.

Number of H. M.’s ships and packets now in commission about 220, and 40,000 men. The Cornwall Gazette tolls a marvellous story of the finding of an original portrait, of Charles 1., by Vandyke. It had been kicked about atnnngBt rubbish, and was supposed to be a val ueless rag. It was purchased for 2*., tho dirt was brushed off it, and tho possessor has been offered £2000 for it, and it is considered worth £20,000 ! The Duchess of Orleans and her ttvo chil dren are shortly expected in England. Last advices received from Mr. Lnyard, at tNimroud, state that in a part of tho building not far distant from that containing tho thtone, tho whole of the culinary apparatus of the mon arch of Assyria has been discovered. It con sists, among other things, of an immense bra zen chaldron, and more than one hundred dishes &c., of the same metal. No golden utensils have, however,yet come to hand. Steamboat propulsion.—It is reported that Mr. Stopporton, of Douglas, Isle of Mon, is a- boutto take out u patent for an impioyed mode of propelling steam vessels, without paddle or screw. He soys, according to his invention he can propel a vessel with one twentieth part of the fuel now used, and at double the aver age speed, while tho machinery will occupy only about one-fourth of tho present space. Itis said that among tho agriculturists ot Gloucestershire, Worcestershire and Hereford shire, there is a grand scheme of emigration afloat, which projects the purchase of a million Washington Gossip. The correspondent of tho Newark Daily Advertiser says:— » ' It is the opinion of some well informed gen tleman that the opponents of the Census Bill in tend to force the measure over from tho time prescribed by law, and thus strike a blow nt theUnion and the Government. Nous Vcrrons. The passage of iho/Iensus Bill, in its present features, essentially, will be a forerunner of the fate of the bill to admit California. Every effort to stave off tho latter measure will fail m the end. Some gentlemen even propose to ad journ OongrcsB, for the purpose of attending the great Southern Convention, and thereby manu facturing thunder with which to frighten men ot weak nerves. They seriously meditate this tol ly. There is a talk of adjourning from June to September. But it will not be so.

Athenaeum.—This establishment hus been well attended sinco the opening, and the talent ed company, relying on their own resources have not failed to give tho liveliest satisfaction ion in the premises is of small moment in com- pmison with that of tho conscientious slave holders, and we know that this course of reas oning is potential with them. Nay ; we do not know how to render it otherwise so long as tho free blacks persist in sticking to the whites, mixing up with them, serving their tables, cur rying their horses, sawing their wood and black ing their boots. By pursuing this course, they arc perpetually sustaining and confirming the current impression of the whites that, they wero intended for servitude, and nro intrinsically good for nothing else. Wo believe tho fact to be otherwise, but the moss of them won’t help to prove it. It does seem to us that this idea of colonizing the slave const of Africa, so as utterly and for ever to root out tho infernal slave trade, is a work to which the black race among us arecull- ed, and which it is cowardice, is baseness on their part to shrink from.

Abolition Consistency. Thc lute decision of Chief Justice Shaw, of Boston, by which the ejectment of a colored girl from a Public School of that city was sustained, has bebn quoted to show that aboli tion professions and practice are sometimes widely different. Tho girl belonged to the colored elite of Boston, and her father, who was a gemman,desired tlmt she should associate with her equals of the Caucassian race, instead of attending tho school which had been estab lished for colored children. The white chil dren objected to the association, and the girl was excluded from the white school, whereupon her father brought an action for damages,which he failed to sustain; the Judge, in his decis ion, admitting the full force of thoso “ preju dices which cannot be mitignted by compelling thc children of the two races to attend the same schools.” So much for sociul equality of ihe races in Boston. Butin the following article from a prominent Northern journal, wo have an indication of something more than common prejudice. We regard it as the precursor of a movement which will, ero long, take placo in the Northern States, and which will show the blacks of this country who arc their best friends. It is evident that the writer, who has been a promi nent worker in the abolition movement, is getting tired of the companionship of his col ored friends, and thqt he desires to get rid of them—to ship them off to become thc subjects of Emperor Solouque, or to relapse back into their native barbarism, among their ancestors in Africa. The Editor is not alone in his views —he hn3 boldly expressed the real opinions of nine-tenths of the abolitionists of the North. There are, doubtless, a few such men as Ged- ntNGS nnd Seward, who, counting the black male adults as so many votos, would let them remain to swell their majorities—but the mass es at the North, abolitionists and all, have no idea of making their cities and towns the asylums of tho colored people who are induc ed by their professions of friendship to escape from tho South. They want no companionship with the “darky” as they call him, whom if they pity as a slave, they despise as n’[man. They will persuade him to escape from his master, after which he may go to—Halifax, for all they care for him, and wo doubt not that there is at this day, many a poor black pining and shiver ing beneath the cold skies and colder regards of tho Canadians, who from the day he left his Southern master, has found no resting place, no contentment, no homo. On his passage through the Northern States lie found many who wished him God speed, but none that loved him so that they could not let him go. And so they must go. The Northern people will bu the first to mnke them go, and as their numbers in tho free Slates increase, so does tho necessity grow for their “colonizing somewhere,”, thus proving, what we always contonded, that the do mestic institutions of 'ho South, whatever ob jections may be urged against the system, afford thc only security und protection to the colored race, while they continue to inhabit the same soil with tho whites. The colonization cause has our hearty approba tion,und we are glad toscethatitsformerenomies the ubolitionisis of tho Northern States lire com ing to their senses on the subject. The reader will however lie as much astonished as wo were when he reads the following article from the New York Tribune edited by Horace Gree ley. This distinguished abolitionist says: What is to-day the chief buttress and refuge of slavery among the good men who still uphold and glory in it 7 Wo declare, as the fruit of much patient inquiry and extensive observa tions, that it is their strong conviction that the negro race arc only fitted Joi dependence and servitude—that, relieved from this, they must, inevitably relapse into barbarism, |heathenism and brutal wretchedness. Talk to them of tho wrong and mischief of slavery and the duty of emancipation, and they promptly reply—“Look at Hayti with it;s baboon emperor, jackdaw court end population of stupid, ignorant, squal id, drunken savages, sinking deeper and deeper into barbarism after half a century of freedom.
