t of the world. I may further observe that no country on this side of the Atlantic is perhaps more likely to suffer from the civil war which threatens the United States than our own; for, altogether apart from those feelings of regret with which we must witness the breaking out of strife between persons belonging to the same fand I feel confident every one of her Majesty's subjects, have learnt with the deepest regret the intelligence of the dissensions which have taken place in the United States. We have also received with the utmost concern the accounts to which my noble friend has alluded, informing us that these dissensions have brought that countrre deliberation the Government came to the conclusion that it was not desirable that this country should intrude her advice or counsel on the Government of the United States. [Hear, hear] However great the interest which we may feel in the welfare of her people, and however anxious we might be to rescue them from the misfortu

he recognition simply of an Existing fact, but the real importance of such recognition just at this critical conjuncture, consists in the comfort it will give to Jeff. Davis & Co. to know that they are to be countenanced in any way at all. Moreover, to recognize it as "belligerents" now, we suppose, must be accepted as an inclination to "recognize" the Montgomery Administration as a de facto Government by and by. "To that complexion" (it certainly looks as if it) "must come at last." Two other significant facts are to be noted in this connexion: First--The arrival at this port (in the Arago,) of a bearer of dispatches for the Southern Confederacy--and Second--The ordering of a British squadron to the coasts of the United States. Momentous consequences hang upon these brief, but important announcements, which but go to show that the near future is growing bigger and bigger with angst events, to "make history" at a rate which might make Clio herself turn pale.

o the First Brigade of Missouri Volunteers. Capt. Lyon has been elected Brig. Gen'l Commanding, and has accepted the command by authority of the President. Emmet McDonald, Captain of the Mounted Rifles, has refused to swear allegiance to the United States, or accept his release on parole, and he is still confined at the Arsenal as a prisoner of war. An application has been made to Judge Treat, of the Circuit Court, for a writ of habeas corpus, and his decision is anxiously looked for. TheThe number of prisoners taken to the Arsenal was 639 privates and 50 officers. The principal arms taken from Camp Jackson were four large-sized howitzers, two ten-inch mortars, a large number of ten-inch shells, ready charged, some 5,000 United States muskets, supposed to be a portion of those taken from the Baton Rouge Arsenal. The city is now quiet, and the highest hopes are entertained that no further disturbance will occur. Twenty-two persons are known to have been killed at

New European views of the South. The light is breaking upon European Governments and people. They begin to understand the South. They are realizing at last the high relations of the Confederate States to modern civilization. They have been in the habit of looking at America only by the light of the Northern press. They saw only the great North in the foreground, and nothing of the South but the negro in the dark, dim and distant perspective. They saw nothing of this great region, except from the repulsive point of view of the Abolitionists. They had some faint idea of the fact that it furnished cotton, but they confounded it somehow with Northern wealth and enterprise; they purchased the cotton of the North, and settled with that section for it. The war is making a great disclosure to the European mind. It reveals to that people that the true sources of American power and prosperity are Southward. It unveils the fact that one-half the American States are the natural

Northern Life Insurance companies. We understand that in reply to letters of Southern gentlemen who have insured in Northern societies, and have written to know whether, in the event of falling in defence of their homes against invasion, their insurance would be paid, the answer is, that when a soldier of the United States falls, who is insured, the amount will be paid; but in the case of a Southern soldier, the contract will not be deemed obligatory. Was ever such a cruel and heartless swindle known since the world was made? For years past, these societies have flooded the South with their circulars, sent their agents here, and induced thousands and tens of thousands of citizens in moderate circumstances to deposit with them the little surplus of their annual income, for the purpose of making some provision for their families after their death, and now, simply because they are true to the land to which they owe allegiance, they are to lose all which the labor of years has acc
