" Blach wood's Mngaxine for January has a loguricus arliola on the position of England in the ompli?aik>ns of oonlinental oombinaticn and diplonaoy. Ministers and statesmen are warned that tusaian maohinatious are isolating Britain in the lidat of Kurope, leaving her a vessel fitted for detrnotion because of liboral tendencies. In this reiew of the politics of Europe the French Empeor comes in for a sound rating. Ilia keen anxiety j achieve peace at any price with Russia is laid tire. 'Ho is charged with abandoning the terms f the treaty, and occupying towards Russia the lace of Austria during tho wars. A crisis is iwering over the monarchies of the old world. A opuiar rising may at any momeut be anticipated. Vbcn it comes, tho absolutist courts will 'all be snged ou the side of Russia, and England left inglo-handed to meet the assault. Under theso ircumstanccs it is held to be tho policy of England > conciliate the continental States as long as may e, but uot to be deluded into belief that she can ely upon them for aid. llcr only security is to be >und iu her strength. The writer pcroeivee that ic revolutionary rlruggles of 1848-19 have led to combination and mnnifest vitality to Absolutism nd Popery. "Despotism lias called to its aid the riles and terrors of the Romish Church, and both re culminating towards a reaction, short lived it my p: ove, but powerful. Once fairly dominant n the continent, that tide of reactionary opinion nnnot fail to burs* liko a floodtido against" the liorcs of England; "and woe to all thnt is most -uly British" if site is not ready to meet the aslult. "If a popular movement were now to take place i Italy, it would be followed by one in Spain: if it ike place in Spain, it will be instantly caught up 1 Italy. How would these movements bo regarded i this country? Any one who lias felt the popular ulsc, or attended to the signs of the times, eon give ut ono reply ? With the I'velicst sympathy. Let tir Government net as it may, the popular voice and te public journals will vociferate in favor of the lsurgonts an.' the cause of liberty." A retrospect i* indulged on the expansion of the inglo-Saxon race, and their inevitable dominance, aboriginal tribes and people have receded before liito migration; and from one stock, originally jdo ami thinly scattered, great nations hare sprung n r-? A... ,1... ?-..J'- ..._r? > itluence by commerce on civilization. In tliia connection our country in introduced. Vhcthcr the policy indicated for tlio Southern tntca shall obtain or not, tho view* presented, lining from such an ab >!i;ion source a* Blackwood, ro more liberal than could bo expected. In tnaing the extract we allow the false statement* to pais noorrectcd, aa every intelligent reader can readily cteot thcin: "Tho same principle, in 11 less pleasing form, is bacrvablo in the hot regions of tho American conncnt. The Spaniards, when they first arrived in lentral America, reduced to slavery the nnt vo npu'ation, and in acknowledged or virion! slavery tat population still remains; whilo in the Spanish lands, in the vast Portuguese territory ol Brazil, nd in the Southern half of the United Suites, the egro race has been imported from Africa to net as slave-ea?tc, and do the work which climate ren era impossible to the whito conquerors from tho iorth. We entertain little doubt that, as the Anlo-Ainericans of the Union extend thoir sway lutliwarda over Central Am*qpi, they will carry egro slavery with them; and, moreover, while fra cruizing with the remnant of pure Spaniards in lexico and eUewliere, will endeavor to replace the alf-brceds and native population inU> systematic ;rfdom. Mr. Buchanan's contemplated course in egard to Kansus is still uncertain; but if, ns is posble, he conciliate the Nortlurn Suites by letting Innsos declare itself a free member of the Union, ro may rely that be will simultaneously take steps > extend the slave Slates by encroachments on Vntr.il America. It is bad policy for tlie slave talcs to extend themselves by encroaching on tho initcd torritory ol the free-soilers, thereby exoiting nunosity, nud iicoessiuting a contest for snpretna y. And we have no doubt they will willingly baudon this course whenever a substitute ;s found, lid a gateway ot cipuusion is opened for them into ie countries to tho South 'r t After allowing that territorial conquest is past in ' iurope, the writer proeocds to indicate fields in the , Last for e*trn-Europenii conquest. Relieving that iuasia will yet wage a desptrnte war of principles 'ilh Western Europe, the East is designated us the rand theatre of territorial triumph. Already Rusa hns thrown a flotilla upon I^ako Ruikul, whoso ibuUrics mingle with the head waters of the riser imoor, the natural outlet of Siberia, hut tho whole ngth of whose course is in China. Ere long this 11st valley region will be in tho hands of Russia; 'hilo a chain of forts in the Kurile nnd Aleutian .hinds will oonnect the A moor with tho Russian rritorics of North America. This policy is design J to shake the sympathy of the United States for ktiaaia. Rut England has Iter fears also for her East inla supremacy: "The Russians dream of one day dictating tho emu of pence to us at Calcutta. Rut the Rritish ud Muscovite powers will have come into collision i another quarter of Asia before their battalions nil meet in mortal strife on tho banks of the Inns. The peninsula of Syria is the key to the Iritish possessions in the East. Moreover, in the iture it will be the most important commercial poition in the whole world. It is towards this region bat Russia will in the first instance seek to make er way. Thu hints now assembling on the shores f the Caspian nrc not so much designed to ineasre swords with the British in Afighanistan. ns to unsolidate Russian influence and power in Persia, i order to secure a basis for future operations, 'he Russian Government is the most patient and inry in the world. It rarely missis its game by pringing lit it too soon Having consolidated its <mn 111 i ninid, uiiu uiiiiiriirca mo i\urdish tribe# f Anatolia, it will then press down into the valley f th? Kuphnrates, ond measure its strength with s ill right good earnest." "France, too, lias begun the work o' extra-Kuroean expansion and territorial extension. And it is urioua to observe how the conquering march ol lie three leading powers of Europe, beginning far part, is converging towards the same point." The military advantages of Algeria are detailed rilh much precision, nnd particularly the ndnptaility of the Arabs to military pursuits. Organized, tlgerin will, by the military genins of the Frcnehirlually operate legitimate increase of French popuon. And the ease with whioh Arabs may be tought into a gi.tiid army makes them as valuable s national troops. They oft"?r counterpoise to the tsialic auxiliaries of Russia on the hnttlctields of lie future. "The dream of Gallic ambition, however, is to Hike the Mediterranean "a French lake," nnd the themes of Napoleon upon Egypt have never been irgollen by tl?e French people. It was with n iew to establish the influence of France on that valuable isthmus tliut M Thiers and the Court of lie Tuilerics supported Mchemet AM ngninst his ege-lord the Sultan; and nothing could exceed the -ritntioii of the French Government when the sue essful bombardment of St. dean d'Acre by the Iritish fleet put nil end to that dream of Ambition iy her settlements in Algeria, France is forming a elter nnd surer road to the goal of her ambition; nd her progress in North Africa prnm'si# otic day ii bring her dose to Kgypt, fit the liead of a formiable force of fiery Arab troops, drilled, equipped, nd led by ihe best officers of France. "Thus again are we brought back to (be frontiers f Syria. Starting from most opposite points, the ttaruh of extra-Kumpenn conquest is bringing Ruaia, France, nnd Britain into contact on that most Tiportant of all regions, the great Isthmus of the )ld World. The neoesaily of specify communionion with our Indian empire?nnd with our Aostrsitinn colonics, destined to tiecome s most puissant onfederuoy of States?renders it indispensable that rent Britain sncuro to herself a passage either cross Kgypt or Syria. And yet this portion of the arth is the very point towards which both Rossis nd France are advancing as the goal of their ansion. It Is the cynosure of their extra-Europe ti policy. Strange region! thus attracting from fur the greatest powers of the world. Mar I veRooa point! toward* which IhoWhiU oligarchs o tho earth, after subduing tho grurter part of Uu wot Id in their path, are advancing from cumWii quartan, and in rival bodice, to coma into ooiliaiot on ita plaiua.

Throughout the whole article we detect (car o Russia, Russia is omnipotent. Her diplomacy it prevalent as air and controlling as destiny. Fr&nct trembles and suns beneath her smiles. Austria ant Prussia shelter their littlcnese uudcr her shadow The Roman PontifT, bent and tottering from age hugs tho giant's logs for support.

Tho anti-Democratic journals of South Carolina (? few weeks' since, were in dreadful agony at th? clootion to tho United States Senate of Simon Cameron, Republican, over J. W. Forney, Demo crnt,by the Pennsylvania Legislature. To them i was proof that his Stato was nbolitiouiicd, notwith standing tho majority that secured Mr. Buchanar her electoral vote. Wo read the fact otherwise. Mr. Buchanan, for long years, Iias bee i unpopu lar with his legislature, though several times choset by it to the Senate. There never was n flection fot him in that body, aside from strong party affinity lie was tho grout man of the State, nnd above theii oontrol and independent ol their influence. Ttiii caused his selection. For more than twenty years ho has been th patron of John W. Forney, watching over his for tunes nnd pushing his sucecss. Under tho guid aoco of Mr. Buchanan he was trnnslerred from th Lancaster Intelligencer to edit tho Philndclphi Pennsylvania.! and nppoiuted Surveyor in the Cus torn House; the same inilucnoe measurab'y elccto htm Clerk of tho House of Representatives, fron whence ho purchased an interest in tho Washing tou Union. This position he soon abandoned, bo cause of irreconoiloftble differences of opinion on th subject of a nominee for the Presidency. Clearly before his connoction, the Union maintained neu Irality 011 the subject. Whether the soparatioi took place from attempt to swerve the piper fron that policy wo will not determine, as the oracle ut icitf j no sound. As bearing upon the point, how ever, we may note tho laet that yvith Mr. Picrco' administration Gen. Armstrong passes out of th Union office, nnd Mr. Appleton takes his plaoe I int it signitioant of contumacious opposition at periml critical to Mr. Huchauan't political prot pccta. But Mr. Buchanan t??? elected. lie carried hi own State, and his party had joint majority in tli legislature. Forney had made ?acrtfict? for him Power wat now in his hands to requite them. Step ping from his high place, he addressed circular let tcrs to the members of tho Legislature, asking n personal favor tho support of Forney for Senatoi Whether from inherent corruption of that hody o dcs re to defcata favorite?or both causes combine ?defection spoiled the nice-laid plans of the Pre*i dent elect, and put his personal and political rite my into the placo?Simon Cameron. Wo see nothing of political significance in tin matter. It was strictly personal. It foreslndnw no change of political sentiment in tho people. Th Legislature was chosen at the Presidential election which precludes all idea of popular change of s n timcnt. Again, tho members whose defection de feated Forney arc from counties where dccidei majorities were given for tho Democratic panj This is conclusive in showing that the oppositioi was purely personal. All thiugs considered, aside (rein tho notorioii free soil views of Cameron and his corrupt drum goguism, we have little sympathy for Forney?an less for Buchanan for meddling in the mutter.

' FLOWERS. \ Now that atcro winter has begun to relax the I | sorority of his brow, and the mild sephyrs are rapI idly reducing the sue of the icicles which liare so 1 long dangled from his hoary looks, joyous hope , looks eagerly forward to the time when the whole r face of nature will be renewed, and flowers of erery hue will again appear, to delight the eye with their f beauty, and porfume tho air with their fragrance. 1 O, enchanting season, instinct with life, redolent of 3 inimitable sweets, accelerate thy step, hasten thy I rctnrnl But I began to speak of flowers?and they nre i worthy of speech, ay, and of eulluro too.

Rev. F. A. Mood, of the South Carolina Conference, who reocutly soiled from Charleston to Europe, is writing let tore to the Carolina Tiniee In one "At Sea," of January, 1857, he iudulgee tho following facetiae on enilor talk: "One learn* much by a sea-voyage. It ia only in a sail ship that he can form any idea of the soilor'a life, of hia peril*, privations ond Buffering*. 1 never estimated them, 1 find, a* 1 aheuld. The tailor (hall never fail hereafter to have my ready lympnthy and my deep intercut.

A *hip, speaking after the manner of sailors, luw a cat-head, a trove-foot and a chest and waist, and wears stays, braces, bonnets, rings, ear rings and caps, also spur-shoes, and tubinim to boot-topping, but has the p irli mnnt heel. It not only bus ribs and shanks, but also n thank painter, and carries a dog-watch, goose\cmgs ami dead eyes. A ship labors and finds a birfb, and ha* constant use for sheets and shrouds, ind never dig*, but form* a grate. It is common to find both boxing and box hauling going on in n ship, as well as gammon on the bowsprit. A ship :arrie* a mouse and horse, which neccaiitates the use of biffs, and is found gybing nn I throwing out ieers, though it hn* its bow for all. If not prevented b) its tell tale, a ship may be sued and taken in, and is sometimes found swinging. It finds use ror leeches, pudding and dolphin, tish, fish hooks ind n bag pipe. It carries a vial, fog and log brand, ind a tiller, but no' J the soil. A ship keeps a wake; is sometimes marked with wales; and it is >nly a seaman who catches the trine/'* eye," Mirdkr or tiik A Rciinnwior or Paris.?On lie examination of the suspended priest Verges, for lie assassination of Mgr. Sibour, Archbishop of Paris, on the 3d January, the following facts came >ut: "lie endeavored to obtain an appointment in the liocesc of Paris, hut it was notified to him that the Archbishop would not grant liiin one. On hearing .hat, ho appears to have projected the death of the prelate, and he purchased for the purpose n knife nt lhe shop of a cutler in the Hue Dnuphinc. After lie had stated the previous facts, tic was asked if he bad stabbed the Archbishop more than once, and be answered,"No; I only gave him one stab, for I itruek ill tile heart, and I knew the blow was moral'." "Why," he was asltsxl, "did you ere, 'Down with the goddess!' when you struck the fat. I blow?" 'Jlccausc 1 do not believe .. .the doctrine of lie Immaculate Conception, against which I have p "eachi-d from the pulpit; nnd I wished to protest once more against the impious d-?ctrine!"

He then added, after a pause, "A priest cannot he Allowed to die of hunger!" He admitted that fie bad gone to the church with the premeditated intention of killing the Archbishop; and he then several times cried, with some violence, "No goddess! n<? goddess!"

"Yes," he exclaimed, "it is frightful," nnd then tears fell from bis eyes. lie begged for a New Testament, and ?aid, "I shall have great need of it during the night." Troubi.ks in Nkdraska.?Legislatcr* Ovkra wen sr a Mob?The Philadelphia American has r..n.- -r ' ,..v- ..s iiuiuj ui iiii'itiuiig news irom Nebraska; The Territorial Legislature of Nebraska is in session and appears to bo n strange scene of disorder. It appear* that a majority of the I/egtslalure is bent on removing the capital from Omaha to a-'me other |*>iiit, on account ol the interference ol mob* of people from Iowa in the territorial busi ties* The Council, or up|?or hou*e, passed a bill nuthorixmg the removal, but the House was unable to reach a vote on the question ou account of the factious opposition of the minority and the riotous conduct of the mob of persons throng ng the lobby, mostly from Council Itlutf, Iowa, who cheer their Iriends and hiss and groan their opponents. Council Klutfs and Omaha nre both town sites owned by the same company of speculator*, who also own the ferry and arc endowed with a gift of government land*. The organization of the territory has proved such a good thing for thrin that they cannot besr the prospect of the cnpiial being removed to some other point. To such an extent is thv attempt to overawe the Ixrgis'aturu carried, that the House of Representatives petitioned the Governor for a-sufltcisnt military force to protect their ncrsons from violence. It is thought that the removal will prua both houses by the requisite majority of two-thirds over the Governor's veto. To make this two thirds' majority in the House, the volo of the S|K-aker w a* necessary; hut, under the rub s of the House, he could only vote ill case of a tie. To rescind this rule was, therefore, the policy of the majority, and it would have been effected but for the determined opposition of the representatives ol nah.-i, which prevented Action. At length, one of theso representatives abused the Speaker personally, and refused to taku Ins seat, whereupon the Sjieaker ordered the sergeant at arms to take him m'?> custody. Tltc member, a Mr. IIanscomb, defied him to do s?, and significantly put li s hand on n bowie-knife. The sergeanl-iit-arma paused, whereupon the Speaker repeated the order. 1 Ianscomb dared the majority to lay hands on him, and the lobby applauded The Speaker intimated that unless this were slopped it would be necessary to clear the lobbies. The mob respouded, "better try it," and, making a rush, broke down the railing, and forced the House I" adjourn. It was this event which caused the I louse to petition tho Governor for protection. Ii is a strange state of affair*, and will probably rcn der the intervention of Congress necessary.
