Hauirax, May 20, 1856, ‘The royal mail steamship Canada, Captain Lang, from Liverpool on the afternoon of Saturday, May 10, arrived here at 8:30 this evening. ‘The Canada sailed at 10 P. M. with » light southwest wind ani thick fog, for Boston, where she will be due about 8 A. M. on Thursday. ‘The steamship Washington arrived at Southampton on the morning of the 4th inst, ‘the steawsbip Cambria arrived at Liverpool a little before 1 A. M. on Thursday, the 8th, and the Collins steamer Baltio arrived at 5 P. M. same day. ‘The Fulton sailed from Southampton for New York on Wednesday, the 7th, with about 150 passengers anda’ full cargo. ‘The screw steamer Canadian sailed from Liverpool on the same day for Quebec, with seventy passengers, a mail and large cargo. Mr. Dallas, with his family, and Secretaries of Legation, also assisted at the Queon’s State ball and levee, May 20th is to be a holiday throughout Great Britain to celebrate the peace. ‘The clipper ship Racer had gone ashore on Arklow Bank, and would probably prove a total wreck. All her passengers and crew, amounting to over five hundred, were saved. ‘The mate of the Racer reported to the Liverpool agent of the Associated Press, just before the departure of the Canada, that the ship was fast sinking in the sand, being then up to her spar deck. There was no chance of sav- ing the vessel, but divers might recover part of the cargo GREAT BRITAIN. PEACE ADDRESSES TO THE QUEEN—THANKS OF PAR- LIAMENT TO THE ARMY AND NAVY—HONORS TO GEN. WILLIAMS, THE DEFENDER OF KARS—INQUI- RY RUSPFCTING TROOPS ORDERED TO CANADA— MOTION IN PARLIAMENT DISAPPROVING OF THE NEW MARATINE CODE, ETO. ‘The Queen he!da court at Buckingham Palace on Thurs- Cay, the 7th ins!., for the purpose of receiving the address- es on the peace from the House of Lords, the House of Commons, and the city of London. The deputations came in great state, and numbered nearly a hundred persons. The Queen briefly acknowledged the addresses, and ex- pressed her satisfaction that peace was re established on basis that affords security for its permanence. Both houses cf Parliament have recorded a vote of thanks to the army and navy. Lord Panmure moved the resolution, and was seconded by Earl Derby in the Lords. In the Commons, Lord Palmerston made the motion and Mr, Disraeli seconded it. Lord Granville announced that pension of one thou- sand pounds sterling, for life, would be settled on Gen. Williams, who is also created a baronet, by the title of Sir Wm. F. Williams, of Kars. Lord Elgin postponed his motion of inquiry respecting the troops ordered to North America until after the holi- cays. - Lord Colchester gave notice of a motion requiring Par- lament to express its disapproval of the polley of aban- dcning the maritime rights so long held, as the Congress of Paris had pledged Great Britain to do. To celebrate the peace the Queen has granted amnesty to all political cftenders, consequently Smith O’Brien, Frost, Jones, and others may return home. Special ex- ception, however, is made against these who escaped to the United S‘ates. Lord Wodehouse, Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs, is appointed Envoy Extraordinary to St. Peteraburg. The appointment is generally applauded. The Lord Mayor of London had given the customary banquet to the Ministry. The whole tone of the speeches on the ocoasion was congratulatory respecting the peace. Count Persigny, the French Ambassador, eaid nothing could sever the alliance of France and England. Lord Palmerston replied, reciprocating the sen- timent and complimenting the Ministers present of Sardi- nia and Turkey. Lord Clarendon then spoke, glorifying the peace, and compliment'ng Russia. The usual toasts fol- lowed, and the company separated early. The American Minister was not present, being engaged at the annual dinner of the Literary Fund, where he made a speech. ‘The Crimean Board of Engineers continue its sessions, but they bave lost all their interest, Colonel Tulloch vetng sick. Aregiment of German Jagers at Plymouth had muti. nied. The risg'eadere were arrested. They complained that the drill was too severe, and that thay only enlisted till the end of the war. The five regiments in the Crimea under orders for Canada are the 7th, 9th, 39th, 624 and 63d Infantry, under the command of General Eyre. FRANCE. A bill was introduced into the Legislature granting four hundred thousand francs for the baptism of the Imperial Prince in June. The Moniteur publishes the monthly. account of the Bank cf France, and the balance was satisfactory. A non of the King of Sweden, the King of Wurtemburg, and Maximillian, brother of the Emperor of Austria, are visiting Louls Napoleon. Count Edgar Ney is to be the bearer of Napoleon’s let- ter in reply to the Ozar’s notificaticn of his accession to the throne of Russia. C.unt Morney has been appointed Minister to St, Pe- tersburg, and Count Orloff has taken for him the Weron- 20ff Palace on a three years’ lease. Speculation on the Paris Bourse had reached a great beightb, and Foglish commercial ers were warn British aoplialines against it, i ing The weather in France for several days previous to the sailing of the steamer bad been had been very severe. BELGUIM. The Senate was convocated for Wednesday, the 14th inst. Count Walewski’s demand to muzzle the press of Belgium caused intense excitement. A despateh from Brussels says:— Intho Chambers on Wednesday, the Foreign M'ntster, in answering an interrogatory in regard to the recen' speech of Count Wa‘ewski on the press of Begium, re- plicd that that speech bad not been officially communi. cated to the government. When that communication should be made the answer would be ready, and would be communicated to all the governments, and would firmly maintain the rights of a Sonstitationsl end inde- pendent country. It was asked further whether any Power had asked for any modifieation of the Jaws relating to the pross in Bel- gium. The Minister said he would answer in one word— never, The meeting broke up amidst immepse cheering and enthusiasm, ITALY. It ia ataled that @ collective note of the Powers that signed the treaty of peace is about ready tobe forwapded to the governments of Rome and Naples, recommending the reforms by Italian people, It is also said that the Pope’s Jegatee Paris has formally protested against Count Walewski’s !anguage in the Congress, and that the Papal government {s preparing a detailed reply thereto, It in still further rumored that Naples will anticipate the Powers’ remonstrance by granring am amnesty ou an ox- tensive sea'e, SARDINIA. Questions relative to the Conferences have been put to Count Cavour in the Sardinian Chambers, Ho replied that pending the negotig‘ions concerning Italy he could MORNING EDITION—WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1856. net speak tul'y. With respect to the treaty of pece, he believed it wouldensure great moral and moeterial ad- vantages. The Sardinian view of the Ma'ian question was adopted, whilst that of Austria was rejected. Hence the question of Italy is and must continus to bea Euro- Peanmatter. He added that the relations of Austria and Piedmont are not aweliorated by anything that bas coaurred, and that the Serdiniam government may rely on the peop'e to meet every emergency. & dispateh from Turin says the memorandum present- ed by Count de Cavour and the Marquis de Williamerins to the Chambers, shows that Austria having at theCon- ference refused to discuss the condition of Ithly, Sardinia in the only State which offers » barrier to revolution, and demands the co-operation of Hogiand and France in car- rying out reforms. It shows that the Austrian occupa- tion is opposed to the interests of Italy and Europe, and contrary to the treaty, to humanity and justice. Final- ly, the memorandum calls on England and France to unite with Sardinia in the applisation of an efficacious remedy. Naples permits the export of breadstuffs until June 15, at half the previous export duty, mamely, at five carlini. Breadstuifs moderate. SPAIN. Arrests of suspected persons eentinued at Bareslona. The conscription had passed off quietly throughout the eveatry. HOLLAND. A treaty ofcommerce and navigation, based on princi- ples of reciprocity, has been Someladed between Austria and Holland. DENMARK. ‘The Hanse towns have re‘used to adhere to the capitali- zation foreed by Denmark on the question of the dues, Considerable excitement was caused by an announcement that our American fleet was on the way to Copenhagen. AUSTRIA. ‘The Synod of Austrian Bishops held at Vienna ts about adjvurning, without having secomplished its objects, THE CRIMEA. ‘The correspondence from the Crimea is up to April 26. It merely records the preparations for the departure, with the drilling and the furnishing of the men with clothes, to make # good appearance on their return. ‘Two regiments of English cavalry have already embarked at Soutari for home. TURKEY. Disturbances continued in Turkish Asiatic territory, and there had been some excesses near Sumatra. There was nothing additional as to the troubles at Nazreth. THE VERY LATEST.

Dela- ware Bay Railroad, Our readers will remember that by some unexplainable means, winter before last,a charter for a road that in’ some degree would rival the Camderm and Aamboy line was granted by the Legislature of New Jersey. No one could understand what motive induced that body to do any- thivg so apparently contrary to the wishes of their pet institution; but soit was. The charter was granted for a railroad from the Raritan Bay to Delaware Bay, run- ning neariy lengthwise of the State, and ospable of a copnection with the Camden and Absecum Koad for Philade)phia. The ultimate object of the charter was to form a line to Norfolk, Virginia, and the Southern cities. During the year which has’ elspsed, there has been rome controversy as to the terminus upon Raritan Bay to be chosen. A few weeks since it was decided to locate at Port Monmoutb, a few miles from Sandy Hook, the site of the Port Monmouth House, built a year or two ago. Acoordirgly, yesterday the ceremony of breaking ground on the proposed line took place with considerable parade. ‘The steamer Fogle carried down a body of our citi- zane who feel interested in the project, accompanied by Dodworth’s Band. Some four ov five thousand of the Fast Tone vecpie were assembled, and a general interest was After a pleasant hour and a half’s ride landed at the dock 2 Port Menmoutb, and marched in line, prece- ded by the band, until they arrived at the ground where the railroad was to commence. Mr. Torrey, in behalf of the President of the road made a few brief vemarka, and then introduced the Rev. Mr, , who made an appropriate prayer. Governor Price was then called to break id ee which he did in a very democratic manner. Kx-Recorder Talmadge was then called. Chief of Police Mutsell was called for, but in the language of the chief, bis ‘extreme modesty”’ had to excuse ‘The ladies present were then ap) on pepe to, whon Misses Torrey and Braey responded rew into the barrow a quantit; roe exiclen a dinner given by the directors of the new a Bote a hoir gueste was served at the Port Monmouth Hotel, at which clever after-dinner responses were made by the Governor, Recorder, Judge Leighton, of ry aa pibaeer Of the importance of this line of railway, when finish- ed, there can be no doubt. By it the communication be- tween Charlestop and this city would be reduced one half, and that with New Orleans nearly one-third; {t deing estimated that transit to New Orleans can be effect- ed in four days.

Wasmnctow, May 28, 186 The Chances of the Three Talked of Candidates, ae Conet- dered in Washington. Those who imgine that s selection wil} not be made at incimnati from the three Northern candidates whose mames are prominently mentioned—Pierze, Buciaass and Bouglas—are either mot au fait witty the facts, or they have not considered the subject carefully. A few acts and a moment's reflection will demonstrate that at the approaching Convention there can be no recurrence of the scenes enacted at Baltimore four years ago. In the first place we assume it as a position which sam- not be controverted, that although Mr Pierce will obtele s complimentary vote from the South, and Judge Douglas imreally the choice of » large majority of the Southerm delegates, yet that Mr. Buchanan would also be accept- able to them. The South, no matter what their in@l- vidual preferenees, are so little wedded te them at this time, that they will accept either of the gentlemen named, We hold that whenever s sufficient number ef Northern votes can be obtained by any one of these can- Aidates, the South will ima body go for that man. For instance, Governor Howell Cobb, of Georgia, is strongiy for Mr. Buchanan as his first choice, but he doew not hesitate to awow that Judge Douglas would be acceptab.e to bis State, Promment men in Virginém have made the same remark. South Carolina occupies the same ground as between Pierce and Douglas, though Mr. Keitt, one of the most chivalrous sons of thet chivalrous State, is for Douglas, as his first and last choice. We merely mention names to show that we have investigated the subjest, and are giving the result of ac- tual observation and ing: S ‘Tho South, therefore, ith its.120 electoral votes, being by pestis, to upper — man the North vail present, Ci the pipe ane inquiry the relative Ape ot the timee gentlemen, named in the North.

" Narrowing Down the Platform. . The Union is hard at work narrowing down the boils. “ cratic platform. It sticks to the task daily with great pertinacity. The first thing to be done is to horn off “Old Buck,” and the next to make the Kansas and Ne- brasska bill in all its stages a test. It would bea curiees Propoeition for the Union to answer, whether, after sue- ceeding in getting rid of Buchanan because he was not fe the Nebraska fight, it could prevent the same rule from being applied to hundreds of thousands of people whe occupied precisely the same predicament. Or does the Union intend forcing its favorite upon the democracy, knowing that he cannot be elected but simply that he may be endorsed by & renomination, a luxury for which notice that the Portland Argus, a quiet Yankee newspa- per, published away off in Maine, pays its respecta to the Onion after this fashion:— If under the amnesty once laimed by the Union any Northern democrat ever doubted as to ifs polley of a introducing the Nebraska bill into the last Congress, we are sure there are no members of the party now in ite organization who do not cordially endorse its prin- Sete: who do Bot Genounce all ight & agitating for ay eae of the Nobraska Dill is not an fsmue whieh ition dare present.

Ricumonp, Va., May 17, 1866, Richmond Democratic District Convention—Appointment off Delegates to Cincinnati—Bpecch of the Hon James A. Scadon, formerly Member of Congress from this District. The Democratic Convention for this (Sixth) district met here yesterday to appoint two delegates and twe alternates to the Cineinnati Convention. The attendance was very Jarge,and so far asl could glean, from the tone of the Convention, the sentiment seemed strongly in favor of Buchanan, The chief mansgers, however, by adroit planning and preconeerted arrangements, sue- ceeded in securing the election of one delegate in favor of Hunter; but Ican safely say, notwithstanding, that the feeling of the district is with Buchanan. The Convention assembled about 12 o’clook M., and organized by appointing Dr. Abner Crump, of Powhatan, to the chair, and Wm. F. Ritchie and R. W, Hughes, of the Enquirer and Examiner, secretaries. The usual preliminary of calling over the several counties composing the district, with a view to assertain the number of delegates present from each, having been gone through, a resolution was offered by Mr. Roam A. Prror, editor of the Mnquirer, autborising the Chair to appoint a committee of one from each county to draft resolutions for the consideration of the Convention. It adopted after considerable debate, some preferring thet the delegates from pep then haa germ th that particular county in the committee, The of the Chair were Sp come this effort on the part of Buchanan’s friends to the committee in the form just indicated, e following is the hows that the whole Seat ie shows that wi — ig more i Resolved, That this Coreen re-afirm bodied in he resolutions of ike iate democratic Réeoived, ‘That the principles heretofore quiring a two-third vote te make ® nomination Senrestion fe just and wiee, and thould not be Mr. R, B, Hea: tion to the effect of its cholce as between the eet without giving any ng and anfrated ne this resolution, bat it Mon altaate The election of candidates were to nomina| feicon, of Goochland; Heury ran them gone into, to wit: He, Tomer a Hopkias, of SL Ae ee a Lee ME NT TMT NN eT eee mT TARE Tory ce
