In the House of Lords, on tho 28th of April, the Earl of Malniesburv, adverting to the stale ol affairs iu America, said : , I beg leave to put to my noble friend, the Under Secictary for Foreign Affairs, a question of which I have given him j private notice, iu reference to a subject t which deeply inteiesis this country, and I may say, the whole of Europe. Almost all your lordships have, no doubt, rend the recounts which arrived this morning | horn Arrorica, and must have learnt 1 with pain, as well as some astonishment, that a civil war had broken out between the sec? sionists in tl at country and the othei States of the Union. Fortunately up to the date of those accounts, hardly I any Llooil 11m<1 been shed, and?loo inuib praise cannot, 1 think, l?e bestowed i upon the commander ?>f the Heel engaged I in .lie Ira* suction to which 1 refer, tor | abstaining front eutering on a useless i contest. It is impossible, however, tbat a struggle su.di as tliat wliicb seems now impending in America ? a si niggle so unnatural and calculated, I may add, to i prove so fatal to the parties concerned in i ?should not produce a reverberation throughout I lie rest of the world. 1 may further observe that no country tm this side of tho Atlantic is primps more likely to suffer from the civil war which threatens the United Stales then our own ; for altogether apart from those feelings of regret with which we | must witness the breaking out of strife I between persons belonging to the same ' family as ourselves, and kindred to us j in language as well as in blood, our po I luteal Mod material interests ate deeply | involved in litis unhappy schism. Thai being so, 1 cannot l>ut believe ill at Her | Majesty's Ministers, feeling upon this | question with all Her Majesty's subjects, ; have already done their inmost by olfv | cious means to bring about some arj rangemenl by which so dreadful a ca1 lamity as that of which I am speaking may bo averted. I therefore wish to asl". my ti<>b!o friend what stops the Govern menl Itave taken with that object ; whether they have made any attempt to p-event the quarrel between the different Stales of the American Union from coming to a bloody issue ; fvliat hopes they eutertain of succeeding in so laudable an endeavor, and whether they have invi. ted, or are in correspondence with any other European Government with the view of obtaining their assistance in seekt ing to put a stop at the outset to a civil war, of which, if once fairly commenced, it will be impossible to foresee the end ? Lord Wod jjiouae.? 1 need scarcely as* sure my nobm friend that the Govern metit, in common with bun, and 1 feel confident every one of Ilcr Mayesty's subjects, have learnt with the deepest te gret the intelligence of tho dissensions which have taken place in the United States. We have also received wi'h the utmost concern the accounts to which tnv noble friend has alluded, informing us thai these dissensions have brought that country to the brink of civil war, if, indeed, civil war may not be raid to have already broken out within her ter ritories ; and in answer to the question, what steps have heen taken hy Her Maj esiv's Ministers to avert this calamity? for a great calamity it undoubtedly must prove to be not only to the Americans themselves, but to England, which is so ceary connected with them hy the ties oi L ndicd ? I have to state that after the most mature deliberation the Govern' rm<nt crnnH to the conclusion that it was not desir.?Ke that this country should in' trude her advice or counsel on the Gov ernment of the United State-'. [Hear, heat J Ho.vever great the interest which we may led in the welfare of her people, and however anxious we might be to re* cue them front the misfortune which ap pears to he inpending over their heads, we yet thought a great mid independent mtinn might not welcome advice given with respect to her internal affairs, if that advice were proffered without being so licited. The uis'rujtions, therefore, given to LorJ Lyons were, that he should, on every filling occasion, ex pi eas the earnest desire enter'wined by Her Majesty's Government that the differences which prevail between the Northern ami Southern States of Ameiica should he ar ranged, lie has not, however, been in structed to give either "officiously" or of fit-tally, any oounscl or adviee to the American Government, unless such coun sel or advice should be asked for by the contending parties themselves. That it the answer I have to give to the ?]uee lion of my noble friend. It natural! fob lows that Her Majesty's Ministers have ( not been in communication with any for eigo Government as to any stops being taken of the nature of those to winch he hat alluded.

The Baltimore Exchange, in alluding to the present condition of affairs in that unhappy city, says : The long expected occupation of this city bv Northern troops, acting under the direction of the Federal Government, has at last taken place, and the cannon of I there illegal levies now threaten our | homes aud overawe our citizens. The j supper tern of the Administration may | calt the fact by whatsoever name they tvi'.l ; they may seek to disguise its real significance by specious explanations ; they may endeavor to reconcile us to it ; by pointing to the familiar flag which fi..nts over the army ?t occupation. But 1 the truth is not concealed because men clothe it ir. false colorr, and honeyed phrases cannot take awav its bitterness. Our , aoil l.oc i m ?

All our interests have been contemptuously disregarded ; all our rights have been ruth) lessly violated ; and every man in Haiti more to day Itulds life and liberty, person and property, solely by sufferance of the soldiery whom Mr. Lincoln, in flagrant defiance of tbe laws and the Constitution, has called out for the prosecution of an | unlawful and unholy war. Such is our situation, and it is idle to deny it. Let us nevertheless bo patient. This is an exigency in which courage must take council with wisdom?-in which rashness is to be counted as an evidence of folly. Hut though we are powerless to vindicate our rights, let us not forget for a single instant that we have rights which have ' been trampled under foot, and which, if i we l?e men, we trust one day redeem.? While wo are sorry that the guarantees i which alone made American Institutions ?ienr to the American people have been i rudely overthrown by a military despolI ism as pure and simple as Louis Napolei on ever wielded, let us still remember tliat it is our rlmv to rescue these from absolute destruction, and to transmit them nnimpahed to our children's children.? Let us, therefore, he calm and resolute.? It we cannot net, wo can at least speak ; | and should this last privilege ho denied us, let sis then betake ourselves to that last refuge of freemen, free thought, and ! so bide our time. Affairs in Baltimore. The Federal tioops have "occupied" Baltimore permanent!}, and hare good quarters. There ia evidently as much feeling against them in that city as there was against die forces under General Gage, which "occupied" Boston at an early period of the Revolutionary War The citizens may he desirous of shielding their helpless families from the horrors of war, but already the spirit of the peop'e breaks tho restraints of prudence. O.t Tuesday evening, while a squad of vol lingers from the Federal Hill camp were passing the comer of l'ratt and Light streets, a demonstration was made to wards them by a party of twenty or lliir ty persons, hut some citizens interfered and prevented a collision. Gen. Butler issues his proclamation that the Abolition forces under hi* com mar.d "have occupied the city of Baltimore," and proceeds in haughty terms to sty what the people n ay, and what they may not do. Tlie hereoic General de ciars "that no flag, banner, ensign or de vice of the so called Confederate Slates, or any one of them, will he permitted to be raised or shown " A squail of United Slates troops, tin der Col. Hare, on Tuesday last seized a considerable quantity of arms belonging to tire city of Baltimore. The arms con listed of about 2 900 muskets, of which bout 2.000 were of the old fhut lock pattern, and 3 500 pikes.

Little Nell Palmer was a sweet little girl of about five years of age, and every night she loved to kneel down by her mother's side to pray. One of the prayers which she wan in the habit of using was the 'Lord's Prayer.' One night after being undressed, she knell down as usual, and began to say, 'Our Father who art in Heaven,' but when she got an far as 'tor' give us cur debts as wo forgive?' she stopped short and burst into tears. 'What is the matter my child ?' said tier moiiier. 'O 'ma, I did not pray it all, and 1 can't pray it, I must n't pray it,' she added. And why not, Nelly !' 'Because 'ma, I haven't forgiven Suay Fianders for spoiling my doll's face thin morning.' 'But I thought you had forgiven her Nelly, when you saved the orage for hei to day, from dinner.' 'I thought so too, '\na, hut you know I haven't seen her yet, and when I tliink of the great ink spot all soak into tlx wax, and think how wicked Susy looked my heart feels real wicked too, and l'u; afraid if she should look so again at me I couldn't give her the orange or forgive tier either.' 'Not if you remember that it is just such as sho that Christ told you to for give ?' 'O dear, 'ina, I don't know,' said Nel ly, sobbing, 'poor Dolly's face will never be clean again, and Susy ueedn't have lone it ; it would be easier to bear if il had been an accident.' 'Yes, I know. Nellv, and there would bo less to forgive ; but if you can do it now, it will be easier for you to forgive greater wongs when you get older.' 'Why, 'ma, what could be greater J? Dolly's face is spoiled.' 'It \vou!d?be greater, when you arc grown up, to have somebody put a great black spot on your character by sonic slander. It is done to somebody every day, Nelly, and you may not escape; and if you cannot forgive a wrong to Dolly will you tie able to do better towards one against yourself " 'But 'ma, how can I make forgive neso, wlien it won't come of itself into n>; heart V You can pray Christ to send it can'l you ? 'Y-e a,' she answered slowly, 'but I'd rather you would ask for me first, please do. won't you, 'ma !' So the mother besought the grace ol forgiveness for her little girl, who than prayed for herself, and to her mother's surprise, added also, 'The Lord's Prayer.1 And bhe whispered as she rose up : 'I wasn't afraid to say that then, 'ma, for I felt forgiveness coming into my heart when we were praying; and I shan't be afraid to give the orange to morrow.' Anticipating Evils. Enjoy the present whatever it may be, and be not solicitous for the future, for if you take jour foot from the present slan< ding, and thrust it forward towards to morrow's event, you are in a reckless condition. It is like refusing to quench your present thirst by fearing you should v. ant drink the next dsv. If it be well to day, it is madness to make the preseut miserable by fearing it may be ill to* morrow ; wl.on \our belly is full of to day's dinner, to fear that you should want the uext day's supper : for it may be that you shall not, and then to what purpose was this day's affliction ? But if to morrow you shall want, your sorrow wll come lime enough, though you do not hasten it ; lei your trouble tarry till its day come*. But if it chance to be ill to-day, do not mcroace it by the cares ol to moirow. Enjoy the blessings of tbii <Jh>' if God Rend litem, and the evils of it bear patiently Mnd sweetly ; for this day oniv is ours?we Are dead to yesterday, Httci we are not yet born to to morrow.? lie, therefore, that enjovs the present, il u be good, enjoy# as much as is possible; and il only that day's trouble leans upon htm, it is singular nnd finite. "Sufficient to the day," said Christ, "is the evil thereof sufficient hut not intolerable.? Hut if we look abated and bring into on? din's thoughts the evils < f many, certain and uncertain, what will he and what will never he, our load will be ua inloler able as it is unreasonable?Jeremy Taylor.

Affairs in Knoxville?Riot and Blood, shed. The Macoh Telegraph, of the 13lb, publishes the following letter trom a citizen of Knoxville. Andy Johnson had appointed the 8th to speak. The people declared he should not, and l5rowolow insisted he should at any expeose of blood. The row began at tho Courthouso where they essayed to fill the appointment : "The Volunteers of the E. T.

The following is a copy of an advertisment which appeared in a country paper: "Made their escape?a husbands affections. They disappeared immediately on seeing his wife with her hands and face unwashed at breakfast." We sometimes meet with men who seem to think that an indulgence in an affectionate feeling is a weakness. They will return from a journey and greet their family with s distant dignity, and move among their children with the cold and lofty splendor of an iceberg surrounded by its broken fragments. There is hardly a more unnatural sight oh earth than one of those families without a heart. A father had better extinguish a boy's eyes than take away his heart. Who that has experienced the joys of friendship, and values sympathy and affection, would not rather lose all that is beautiful in nature's scenery thao be robbed of the hidden treasures of his heart! Cherish, then, ' your heart's best affections. Indulge in 1 the warm and gushing emotions of filial, r parental, and fraternal love. 1 Our Skaboard Dkvkncbs.?We can ; make no more satisfactory announcement to our readers along tbe seashore, thao > that active preparations are going for-,, ward to increase the defences along our r seaboard.
