The news by the Canada, which is three days: later than advices previously received, con- tains seme interesting points in relation to the , italian question, which seem to be confirmed by information from several sources. It is asserted that a treaty of peace between France aad Austria is about to be signed at Zurich which will esery out the general princi- ples of the arrangement at Villafranca. The four fortresses of the historieal square are to be divided between Austria and Sardinia, the former retaining Verena and Legnago, and ceding to the latter those of Pesehiera and Man- tua, with the duchies of Parma and Modena. advices from Europe to the afternoon of the 24th | In compensation for these the hewse of Lor- ult., three days later than the accounts previously received. The news is important, as will be seen by our telegraphic summary, published in to-day’s paper. The Italian question may be regarded as settled. A treaty of peace is to be concluded between France and Austria, upon the basis of the prelimi- maries agreed upon at Villafranca. The famous fortresses of Mantua and Peschiera and the States of Parma and Modena are to be ceded to Sardinia; the House of Lorraine is to be re-established in Tus- cany, and the Legations are to be restored to the Pope; while Venetia isto have a sort of nominal ‘independence, under an Austrian Archduke, who is ‘to be called the Grand Duke of Venetia. The steamer Fox,sent by Lady Franklin to ‘the Arctic regions im search of the traces. of her husband and his companions, has returned to England, having been completely successful. A record of Sir John Franklin's expedition down to the 25th of April, 1848, was found at Point William, on the northwest coast of King William’s Istand. Sir John had died on the.11th of June, 1847. The details of the voyage of the Fox will be intensely interesting. The San Jean Island affair continued to be dis- cussed by the British press, but they had dropped the bellicose tone assumed by them at the first re- ceipt of the news of General Harney’s action. ‘The Great Eastern is to leave Holyhead for Port- Jand on the 20th instant. There was, however, a rumor that her voyage would be delayed until next year. A portion of her crew had matinied, and been sent to prison by the authorities. Extensive preparations were on foot for the pro- secution of the war against China. The report from Spain of Gen. Serrano’s appoint- ment to the Captain Generalcy of Cuba is con- firmed. The ship Josiah Quincy, bound from Leghorn for Boston, was abandoned at sea on the 4th ult., leak- ing badly. Her crew anda small portion of her cargo had arrived at Liverpool. The sales of cotton for the week in the Liverpool market were 46,000 bales. All qualities of Ameri- can were one-eighth of a penny lower, and on the inferior descriptions a further reduction was con- ceded. The market closed firm. Breadstuffs had a general declining tendency, and all descriptions ‘were slightly lower. New American flour was quoted at 25s. a 2%. per bbl. Provisions were steady. The London money market was unchanged. Consols at three P. M. of the 24th were quoted at 95§ a 953 for both money and account.

It was pay day, and the question was, would the Board direct payment or nompay- ment of those teachers who declined to obey the order, and wisely preferred to obey the trustees, who have the legal power to dismiss as well as to appoint them? Just as we antiei- pated in sm article yesterday, the principals had their pay stopped, to the number of twenty- four, whose memes are given in another column. And, what ‘is se. inconsistent and absurd, the pay of the assistant teachers was handed'to' the principals to distribute among them as usual. According to the by-laws of the Board, these principals have los their situations by the fact | of their disobedience of an order, and yet they are recognized by the Board as still holding offiee, and dizected te discharge the duty of paying the assistants. The majority of the Board have thus exer- cised their petty brief authority by stopping the pay of these principals of the public achools, but we apprehend a mandanrs issued from the courts will compet the President and Clerk of the Board to sign their pay checks. Tile Boned have usurped authority whieh nei- ther’ the constitution nor the statute gives them: They have no legal. right to order the reading of the Bible in any: school, nov any power'to: prohiwit the reading thereof. The words-of' the aet are very explicit: “Nothing hereis contained shall authorize the- Board of Education to'exelude the Holy Scriptures, with- out nete or comment, or any selections there~ from, from any of the schools provided: for by this act; but it shall not be competent for the Board of Educatiom to decide what version, if any, of the Holy Seriptures, without note. er comment; shall: be used in any of the sshools.” Now it is olear from this that the Board: can neither excluds-the Seriptures rer order them to be reads and if the reading of any pavtieulan version is- ordered: by the trustees; the-Board if the Boara tnd tho-power to enfiree tha ing of the: Bible- in. the schools, the could render their order nugatory, -having: The teachers might: comply with tle mandate by reading, the Bible; under the dizeetion of the trustees, either in- the original Hebrew or Greek, or inany translation—Frenek; Spanish, German, Italiam. Irish, or Chinese—net a word of whielh the children could. under- stand. It is- therefore evident, that, was not the intention of the Logislatere: to clothe the Board of:Edweation with «the. pewer of ordering the reading of the Bibie.ab alk: If it was their intention, they would net: omly de~ clare it, but peint owt the way in: whtehis. could be earriedtinto- practical effect: Furthermere, there: is a constitetionad: diffi- culty in the way of this assumption, of, the Board of Eduoatiom.

The friends of the move- ment professed to see in both the Douay and the King James versions of the good book innumerable passages which were not only misinterpretations of the original, but which were in themselves utter nonsense and a¥sur- dity. They went to work and collected mlot of these, comparing with them what they claimed to be cerrect translations. But al- though many intelligent people, secular and! clerical, agreed with them im regard to the ex- istenee of numeroustrivial errors in the present reeognized verision, still they got very few to go | with them in their work of a radical change. It was generally regarded as am extremely dan- gerous experiment, and one which might have a tendeficy to promote rationalistic ideas. But the innevators were not affected by such an argument. They went to work, collected funds, appointed translators; distvibuted tasks, and have been doing up the: new and revised edition into various modern languages, so that the-advantages of the change, if any, may not be restricted to those who read the English tongue only. The tenth anniversary of the American Bible Union was held in: tlds city during the week, at which reports werg made in regard to its operations, and’ any number of committees appointed. It is not the province of a secular newspa- per to decide: whether the pzesent standard versions of the Bible are, or are-not, up-to the mark. But we think that if the translators: of the new version, were fully competent. for their task: the werk might have been, with: or- dinary industry, completed years: ago. We know that an equal: amount of transtation eould be done-in-the. editorial rooms of the Huranp in the course of a few weeks; and we do not see why, if these Baptist revisers are: so: fimi- liar with the original Greek or Hebrew-as they: profess tobe, the work should have occupied! more than‘a few menths at most, particularly where tlrey had two.good translations-ready-to- their hand» At all events, we-denot see howany great gain canbe realizedsto the world by this werk: of the American Bible Union.

Tue Reaisrry Ovrrage—Party Virtvr.— The Tribune refuses to accept our logic that the republican party is corrupt, because we gave only one little specimen of its depravity. We did not produce that specimen—it was furnish- ed Wythe Tribune itself, which, with great naiveté and innocence, admits that the case in question can only be paralleled by that of Ju- das Iscaricé, while it maintains that all the rest of the republican party are as immaculate as the other elevem apostles. If this case was all that could be cited against the republicans here might be seme sense in the Tribune’s re- fosing to admit the force of our argument and : the weakness of its own. But in looking back | on the history of parties for the last twenty : years, we shonid' like to know whether the demoerats or thoae opposed to then have been on the whole the most profligate and’ corrapt.

They reeeive a month’s salary. in advance, andi trust to Providence and the manager for the rest. Sometimes they get it, and.sometimes they don’t. We might say very often they don’t. Probably, however, they re- ceixe as much, here, one way and another, as they would get abroad; and their vanity is flit- tered by having the: reputation of receiving great salaries, The fact that they are verygiad te come, and generally make a long stay, seems to fortify the latter statement.

Science. xp Mepica, Dogmarism— Tae Fomrres Questron Acain.—The: practi- tioners who compose what is called the-regular medical faculty of New York seem. deter- mined to-bring themselves into discredit by their vagaries. Their dogmatism and; their in- tolerance will do more to renjer people skeptical as to their professional knowledge than all their personal failures, Practising what.they are. compelled to own.is but an ex- perimental art, they have the absurd inconsis- tenay to rejeet whatever is calculated to throw light upon it. They not only ignose, for in- stance, the Hahnemann thories of medicine, bat they will hold no sort of communication with those who practise them. A patient’s life ia, in their eyes, of but little vatwe, compared to the necessity of maintaining the discipline | instituted to prevent encroachments on thelr professional privileges. All this would be natural enough if the faculty could agree amongst themselves as. to the truth or efficacy of their own principles. There is, however, no profession in which there is so wide a divergence of qpimion or so marked a: dissimilarity of practice. The experience of every one will call to mind aumetous instances in which allopathic phy- sicians, sumgaoned to attend the same pa- tient, have presoribed medicines directly an- tagonistic to each other. They seem for the moat part to be groping and guessing in the dark, « fact which, considering the difficult naturo of their duties, would not reflect so much discredit upon them but for the obsti- nacy with which they persevere in shutting out such lights as are to be gleaned from the scien- tific Inbors of those who refuse to be guided by the formula of the old school practitioners, Some eight or ten months since the public whigs, have played the same game of rascality |. law with confident expectation of controlling its + countny they generally demand double what | they would be glad to get in Europe, and com- | 7. disputes in which the Academy of Medicine was involved by the charge of malpractice that was brought against one of its members, The im- pression left upon the public mind by that af- fair was, that where professional jealousy or vindictiveness are evoked the regular faculty @re as bitter and unscrupulous towards each other as they are towards the homceopaths. As regards the establishment of any important sei- entific principle, the discussion was as barrom and unprofitable of results as are most disputes raised in schools where only one form of belief is admitted. Not content with the widiculous figure whieh it cut upon that occasion, we see that the Acad emy is again furnishing amusement for the pul-, lic by the revival of the famous fomites contro- versy, which, now that the hot weather and all danger of yellow fever are over, seems some- what out of season. From what took place at the meeting at the University on Wednesday night, it is evident that the faculty are as un- likely to arrive at a satisfactory solution of ite difficulties as they were upon the’ several for- mer occasions when the question was called up. The truth i that they are still: completely in the dark on the subject; and this being the case, the best thing that they can do isto’ adopt the conclusions of the Sanitary Convention im reference to the ebolition of the quarantine system, these at least being founded on: data , too positive te be reasone@ away by the-thee- ’ retical speculations of an uneertain science. —_——_ NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.

Under the act of 1841, granting 500,000-acres of.Jand te Certain States fom internal improvement purposes, there have been approved to the State of Florida 450,988.32-100 acres, to which adding land granted to said State for the benofit of the St. Marks Railroad prior. to the passage of said act, and to be deducted from. the. 600,000 acres, ac- cording to its provisions, there remainé9,16618-400acres yet.to be selected by and approved to the State to com- plete the grant. Nearly all of these lands arc of the best quality of ham- mock, free fromeoverflow, and covered by a. luxuriant growth of white oak and other timber. They were se- leoted with great care by the State, and comprise some of the best land for agricultural purposes in the South. ‘The proceeds of the sule of these lands go toward moot- ing the liabilities of the State for internal improvements, which are now geing rapidly forward in shape of railroads and othet enterprises. ‘THE. GENERAL NEWSPAPER DESPATCH. Wasminctox, Oct. 7, 1850. ‘There is but little additional intelligence to-day relative to the filibustens. An official despatch from. New Orleans states that thetowboat Panther nas been. seized, together with the captain and crew, and arrangements haye beem made to arrest the party who went down the-river as far as the South,Pass inthat vessel. The opinion is expressed in the same despatch that the whole illegal scheme has been frustrated. ‘The receipts of the Treasury for the week ending with Monday lastwere $926,664; drafts paid, $1,287,000; drafts. iseued, over $1,118,000; amount subject: to-draft, $4,076,- 624. The reduction from the amount on. hand the pre- vious week, of nearly $188,000 is owing to. the redemption. of Treasury notes. The department has no reagon, as yet, to change the opinion expressed in the Secretary's last report, ato the probable- receipts of the presoat fiscal year. —______. Arrest of the Filibusters.
