Mr. Cardwell, it is well town, is warmly in favor of the policy here. ‘fore advocated by Mr. Bright, of recalling home all the armies now scattered abroad in tbe Briush colonses. There seems to be some fear amongst the English liberals that Joba Bright will be au ‘mpfactical element im the Cabinet.

The repr2- sentation of those Sts'es in Congress, it is estimated, is now sbout ome-fiith larger than at would be under that article of the Coastitu- tion, which says :—* When th> right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for Pres- ident or Vice President....is denied to any of the male imbabitants of such State, being twen- ty-one years of age and citizens of the United States, OF in Suy way abridged, except for par. theapation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation thecein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male efi shail bear to the whole number of male cit zens, twenty-one years of age, in such Stat The New York Tritene, we see, suggests that the question may arise sooner, and that the Clerk of the House may have to decide it when the members elected in these Siates, after the adoption of this article, present themselves to be sworn in on the Fourtn of March next. But aside from the difficulty of deciding which ons to reject, there will be additiomal a@ M. alty that until the pew census is taken it canrot be known to Congress, officially. what mber of male citizens over twenty-one years ce are excluded from exercising the elec. franchise. Therefore, Con will prob- ad ably not undertake to reject these members, who will claim that tuey were elected under existing Inws of Congress m the matter of ap- portionment Tur Novexnce Meteors ov — We bave received & copy ef the official report of Commodore B. F. Sands, Superintendent ot the Navai Obseryatory.on the brilliaut Meteoric display of November 13th, 18, with a star cbart of the tracks of the most couspicuoas, by Prof. J.R. Eastman, U.S. Navy. From this report it appears that the display commenced 8 little before midnight op the bth of Novem- ber, aud increased in brilliancy and beauty as the morning advanced. The observations were continued until near 6a. m., at which time the officers at the Observatory bad counted 5,075 and bad sueceeded in tracing on the chart the trseks of nimety meteors. Considering th number aud brilliancy of the meteors, their magnificent trams and the magnitude of the meteoric <toup through which the earth passed, this shower was unquestionably the grandest that has ever been witnessed at this observa+ tory. Prof. Eastman says: “Ltis highly probable, from the number ot meteors seen Very near sunrise, that the suower continued for a considerable time after we could not observe it on account ot th ing sunlight: od though we have po accurate data in regard to the time when the shower ceased, it 18 safe to conclude that the breadth of that portion of the ring through which we passed could not have been less than 115,000 miles, much g-eater than the breadth of the stream we passed through in I-67, though not so densely packed with meteors. The election tor a successor to Gov. Morgan in the United States Senate takes place in the New York Legislature on the 19th of January. It locks now as if Mr. Morgan would be re- elected without difficulty. The western end of the Siate to oe sure claims the Senatorship by rotation, but has three candidates—Gor. Fenton, Mr. Putnam, and Mr. Noa Davis, and there is no disposition to conceatrate upon any one of these gentlemen user S Pre Hay, from the East Indies, is now beginning to be imported into England. Re- cently, one thousand tons of this kind of horse fodder were brought from Bombay to Liverpool. The grass is reported to be sweet and fragrant, but it is seared that new kinds of insec's, dangerous to vegetation, may be intro- duced in the bates.
