The Southern Confederacy-- important motion in the British Parliament. One of the signs of the times which means something, is the notice given in the House of Commons, by Mr.Gregory, that on an early day he would call the attention of her Majesty's Government to the expediency of a prompt recognition of the Southern Confederacy of America. The Journal of Commerce, on the same subject, says: " The tone of the English press has been essentially modified, in treating the question of slavery, since secession in the United States became a fixed fact. In their estimation, the institution of slavery seems to be far less obnoxious than formerly-- less repugnant to humanity, and to be tolerated as a necessary evil, rather than to be cut up with fire and sword, regardless of all consequences.

Cary's Military Academy is in a prosperous condition. This school has taken a high stand, and we hope the labors of the enterprising Principal will be abundantly rewarded. Chesapeake Female College has comparatively a small attendance, though the beautiful situation, etc., entitles it to a very large number of scholars. Judge Gregory in a recent case, has decided all the money shall be paid at once by the purchasers of the College, $35,000. It should have been paid January, 1860. The creditors have been waiting a long time, but we suppose not very patiently. Some of the securities have had to pay, or will have to pay, for the College, six or seven hundred dollars each, besides large amounts of stock. Yet, we hear these men have been censured — they do not deserve it.--They have done all that could be expected of t
