She may be ex- pected at any moment. She left Halitax at 12 o’clock on Thursday night, and 18 therefore over fifty hours out. We shall probably be enabled to give the tull details of her news in to-morrow’s Herald. The State of Europe. We placed before our readers, in yesterday’s He- raid, a summary ot the foreign intelligence receiv- ed by the steamship Canada, which is two weeks later than what we were previously in possession of, That summary came to us direct from Hali- fax, Nova Scotia, by special express and telegraph, at a great expense, and created some commotioa in the community. By this inteiligence we learn the astounding fact that the whole European continent is on the eve of witnessing great events. There is scarce a country in that region that is not agitated to its centre, andin which revolution, war and blood- shed may not be expected to break out, without a moment’s warning. The signs of the times are indeed portentious of revolution, war and violence. The Emperor of Russia is, according to every in- dicauion, about to make some great movement, which may produce a general war in Europe. ‘While this 1s going on, however, the progreas of Teform seems to assume a more active spirit, and to be at work, undermining the foundation of every monarchy and despotism there. In the absence of our files, we cannot eater into the details of the news. We shall probably receive them this morning ; and in our issue of Monday, we shall publish the news entire, together with our corres pondence. The most striking facts received by thie arrival, are the account of a sanguinary battle between the British forces and the Sikhs in India, the con- tinuance of peace and order in France, and the growing belief that the republic 1s safe. Tha battle, it would seem, was fought with grea; jury and bravery on both sides, and may be attended with very important consequences. There seems to be little room for doubt that the victory of the Seike was complete, from the fact that the British acknowledge the loss of twenty-five hun- dred men and ninety-three officers, as well as some of their guns and regimental colors. This Joes, we heve no doubt, is much under-rated ; and thie mpression is confirmed by the doleful tenor of the remarks made on the result by the English press. On the part of the British, very different results were anticipated. Vast preparations were made, not only to attack and deteat the Sikhe, but to annex the Puvjaub, and make it a portion of British India, in pursuance ot the policy which that power has always adopted in that region. ‘This repulsee—thi- decided and important result— may change their plan of operations, and may yet end ina series of disasters to British power in India, which, if they do not anniuilate, will ser- ously weaxen it. If such be the case eventually, it will bea retribution not wholly undeserved, and may be the precursor of the downfall of English dominion throvghout the world. The immediate efiects of this Indian intelligence will be, to 1n- spirit the disaffected in England and Ireland, and especially those who are opposed to a turther continuance of the existing state of things in Cunada. France, we are pleased to see, is calm and quiet. The people, as we are informed by our despatches, are disposed te frown down all who are inclined to disorder. The government ot Louis Napoleon is as strong as ceuld be desired, wand seems to possess the confidence of the well- disposed portion of the community, who, we are happy to say, evidently constitute the great bulk of she people. Indeed, 1t would seem asif the French yeople were determined to live down, and act down, the multitudinous slanders which were heaped upon them by the English press, and to conviet their ill-wishers as false prophets. There are, we think, some uader-eurrents in political matters in Europe; bat we cannot speak of them until we receive our files of English and Copunental exchanges. The movements of Rns- gla are very significant, Catarornia—Con. Bentox.—Califorma conti nues to be uppermost in men’s mind. Every piece of intelligence trom that celebrated regien is read with the g eatest avidity, and there is much anxiety manifested for the receipt of some of the gold with which it abounds. Our readers are aware that Col. Fremont, son- in-law of Col. Benton, Senator from Missouri, some time since left for California, and that his lady took her departure for the same region a few days ago. Col. Benton himself will soon follow suit, estersibly with the view of seeing the gold mines humeelf, and getting ocular demonstration of therr wealth and abundance ; but really, we believe, for a different purpose. It will be recol- lected that Mr. Benton indited a letter to the peo- ple of Calitorniv, and has from the commencement taken a great interest in the affuirs of that country. From present appearances, there is every probabili- ty that that country wail soon come iato the Union 4s 4 State ; aud as Mr. Benton’s term of service in the United States Senate will soon expire, and as there 16 but little chance of nis being re-elected by Missouri, we would not be surp.ised if Mr. Benton has an eye to being returned to the Senate by the new State of Calilernia. This view is strengthened, when we coneider the course which Mr. Bentoa has been, for some ume pursuing in regard to Calitomia—his writing a letter to the people there; his attacks on the administration of Mr Polk, in conpection with the same subject; the emigration of bis tainly; bis own contemplated dejarture, and the approaching expiration ot his aflice es Seaator from Missouri. ‘The amount of emigrativa to the goldea regions of Califorvia, from thie part of the country, amounts already to nearly tweoty thousand persons, the real bone and sinew of the nation. The number from the whole Union will probably reach tonearly thirty thousand; and including those who go thither from Europe, from the present time up to next May, it is highly probable that the emigration trom the whole world to that wonderful country, will, by next bummer, amount to fifty or sixty thousand persons. Such an emigration from the Unued States and Europe will have a very important bearing upon the future history of that terntory. The firat thiag done by such a population will doubtless be to im- provise a government, and to establish some sort of public regulations, in order to preaerve peace and good order in society. The emigrants from this part of the country are the best kind of popu- lation—the most intelligent and most enterprising. They are also the best acquainted with the forms belonging to arepublican goverament. Also, most of them are free soil men; and there ie no doubt one of the first principles they will establish in the government of California, henceforth and tor ever, will be the perpetual exclusion ef slavery from all its borders. By this means. the question of the Wilmot proviso will be terminated, and thus we shall save many unnecessary and irritating debates in Congress on this subject. The effects of the emigration to Calitorma, in the sailing and fitting out of vessels, and the ship- ping off provisions and other commodities, have been felt very extensively in this regton of the country, among our financial and commercial cir- cles, It has been generally estimated that this California movement has absorbed nearly twenty millions of the floating means of the capitalists and men of business in New York, and the other At- lantic sea ports. This has created, as was to be expected, @ pressure and stringency in the money market; but this effect will be removed as soon as the gold returns are received for California, either here or in Eur pe. Great anxiety, therefore, ia manifested for gold rom that country, and every arrival by way of Panama and Chagres, Acapulco and Veru Cruz, is expected with extreme avidity, by all classes ot our population. Ramways mn Canapa—Tue PaRiamEent—Sys- TEM o¥ INTERNAL ImPROVEMENTS.—It seems that the excitement of the Parliament now in session at Montreal, on tae bill to pay for losses during the rebellion, is subsiding, and the attention of the members, and the assemblage of citizens at that place, 18 about being turned to a mere profit- able account. The subject of improving the coun- try is now beginning to engross their minds. A meeting has been held by a general railroad delegation assembled at Montreal, from all parts of the province, and they have devised and re- commended to the government a plan for extend- ing a base line from Quebec, along the north shore of the St. Lawrence and Lake Ontario, to the head of the lake at Hamilton, and thence along the line of the Great Western Railway, to Sand- wich on Detroit River, opposite to the city of Detroit, This plan, which it 1s understood 18 favorably received by the ministry, and will probably be re- commended to the Parliament, contemplates that when companies are organised along this line, and shall have expended one-third of the amount necessary to complete the section of the road which the company is incorporated to construct, to the satisfaction of the government engineer, the government will lend their credit to an amount sufficient to complete the other two-thirds, and will hold a preferred lien on the whole for their Security. This is a scheme of doing up the business with system and efficiency. lt seems entirely practicable, and if adopted will lead to a regu- lar plan, which has been much needed in the Umited States. Had New York made, or aided its citizens in making, one great base line from the Hudson to the Lakes, leaving to indivi- dual enterprise to construct lateral railways radi- ating from it, we should not now be vexed with the caprices of seven different corporations, and their sinuous railway, diverging and bending frem a direct line to satisfy property owners ia small villages along the way; nor would the Legislature be constantly harraseed with applications for parallel roads and straight lines to shorten the distance. The government of Canada has already nearly completed a line of improved navigation, by means of canals, from the Lakes to the sea. If they now tollow it vp with this plan of railways, the settle- ment of that country will be accelerated, within three years after its completion, more than half a century. Lateral railways and plank and macad- amized roads, will soon connect the great line with tho whole interior of the province. The system proposed is truly worth their adop- tion. It 1s worthy of a young, growing and ad- vancing country. Through the length of the Great Western Rail- way, extending from the suspension bridge, at Niagara Falis, to Detroit river, they will be on our great highway between the Eastern and Westera States, and we can pass across the peninsula in less time than by any otker route. We shall, in- deed, give them a passenger traffic which will make that part of their road very profitable. This line of railway, too, will connect Moatreal with Portland and Boston through the Atlantic road. There seems to be nothing 1n the way of carry- ing out the system, if adopted. For individuals to furnish one-third of the means, will not be one- rous. The government can, with great satety, fur- nish the other on the security of the whole, and uncer the eye ot the public engineer, see that it is properly expended. We say to our Canadian neigh- bors, you are right—go shead. Making railroads j8 more profitable than making revolutions, ualess you follow the example of the old thirteen States. Wuat Dors not Drunxenness Do? — The General Sessions, which have just terminated, furnish the solution of this vitally important question. Many are now within the cheerless and dismal hails of a felon’s prison, bewailiog in sorrow and shame the bitter and desolating effects of the rum-bottle. A manie found guilty of an outrage upon a fe- male, who, in the language of the learned Re- corder, 1s @ poor, ignorant little German girl. He 1s asked what he has to say why the strong arm of the law should not lay hold of him, and arrest him 1n his career?’ His answer 18, that he was ex- cited by liquor at the time. Another is convicted of forgery ; and his anewer 18, that for two months before he had committed the offence, he was over- whelmed in liquor. Another ‘is convicted of robbery ; and the answer of the convict is, that he was drunk at the time; and, with tears in his eyes, he implores the mercy of the Court for the sake of his three motherless little children. We might go on almost ad infinitum with, this pain- ful recital ; but we have said sufficient to show the dreadiul dominion of the liquid and maddening fire over its subjects. At the Special Sessions, day after day, husbands are brought up for the most savage assaults upon their poor, broken-hearted, but forgiving wives ; and when asked why they had acted with such barbarity to the partners of their bosoms, the answer is, that they were drunk, and had no recollection of what they did at the time. The Recorder has represented to them, in the most forcible terms, the sad results of the great moral crime of inebriety, and has advised them, in the kindest and mildest manner, to guard against it for the remainder of their days ; and if they be not incorrigible, and utterly lost to every sense of feeling and compunction, his honor's ad- monition must have found its way into their hearts, Most earnestly do we hope that it has.
