CoxsoLipatTion or Loxvon.—The House . of Commons has appointed a committe to . . inquire into the focal governmeut of the . . great British metropolis, with a view to the . establishment of a municipal goveroment . over it that shallembrace the whole city. As now constitated, London embraces a . number of distinct municipulities, haviog their separate boards of officers, inclading police, and separate jurisdictions, and as a . patural consequence there wasa good deal of friction in the operation of these independent governments. The frequent conflicts . of jurisdiction, and the numerous obstacles . to the execution of measures important to the public welfare, with the constant squab. . bling growing ont of this state of things, . have completely disgusted the Londoners, . . and now Parliament has set to work to remedy the evil. ; ; Tue demand of materials to be converted . into paper has increased enormously within a few years.

Mokelumne Hill robbed the grave of a dead . friends had deposited with the body to pay traveling expenses to the other world. Prospec ts of the Contedere: a te Statee . Alex. H. Stephens, in an elaborate speech lately delivered atSavannab, spoke as follows in relation to the future prospeete of the Confederate Government: We have all the essential elemente of a high national career, The idea has been out atthe North, and even iv the border States, that we are too small and too weak to maintain a separate nationality. Thisés a great mistake, Ia extent of territory we embrace 564,000 square miles and upwards, This is upwards of 200,000 square miles more than was included within the limits of the original thirteen States. It is an area of country more than double the tervitory of France or the ‘Austria empire. France io round numbers has but 212,000 square miles, Austria in round numbers has 248,000 sqaare miles. Ours is greater than both combined, It is greater than a}t France, Spaia, Portugal, and Great Britain including Eugland, Ireland and Scotland together. In population we have upwards of five millions, according to the census of 1860 ; this includes white and black. The entire population, including white and black, of the original thirteen States, was less than 4,000,000 in 1790, and still less in 76, when the independence of our fathers was achieved. If they, with a bess popalation, dared maijotain their independenca against the greatest power on earth, shat! we have any apprehension of maintaining ours now? In point of material wealth and resources we are greatly in advance of them. The taxable property of the Confederate States cannot be less than $22,000,000,000. This, I think, I venture but little in saying, may be considered as five times more than the colonies possessed at the time they achieved their independence, Georgia alone possussed last year, according to the report of our Comptroller General, $672,000,000 of taxable property, The debts of the seven Confederate States sam up in the aggregate less than $18,000,000; while the existing debts of the other of the late United States sum up inthe aggregate the enormous amouutof $174,000,000, This is without taking into the account the heavy city debts, corporation debts, and railroad debts whicb press, and will continue to press, a heavy incubus upon the resonces of those States; With such area of territory—with such an amount of population—with a climate and soil unsurpassed by any on the face of the earth—with such ‘resources al. Teady at our command—with prodactions that control the commerce of the world— who can entertain any apprehensions as to our success, whether others join us or not’ In giving the taxable property of the Confederate States, an extra figure has doubtless been added to Mr. Stephens’ estimate. The amount stated, 22,000,000,000, exceeds the total taxable property of the entire Union, inelading the seceded Stater, According to the latest reports published from the several States, the total assessed valuation of the seven that have receded . was $1,827,307,324, of which $401,753,600 was io slaves, Ternete Sorrenwna rrom Cor,p.—On the morning of February 6, Clark Brown, aged sixty years, and bis daughter of fifteen, ret . out from Shandaken, Ulster county, N, Y., for Denning, across the “Big Indian Forrest.’ Before proceeding far they lost their way, darkness overtook them, and they remained in the woods all night without fire, The intense cold so disabled the old man that be could ecarcely walk the next day, and the girl divested herself of a portion of her garments to prevent him from freezing, Another night wag passed in the woods under a rock, and the following day they started on their journey, but being misled by a circuitous ‘road, found themselves at night at the same place from whence they started in the morning. On Saturday, the girl beat a track through the snow, and ber father crawled slong as heat be could, bis'‘legs being frozen stiff. Nearly despairing, they finally reached a road which led to Hammond & Co’st at Dewittville, when the girl hastened. dee relief for ber father, who was unable to proceed any farther. Mr. gBrown was goon rescved, but so badly frozen ‘that he ayrvived only about ten days, The girl’s feet _ were so badly frozen that amputation became necessary, which was done by disjoin. ting one foot at the instep, and cutting off the toes of the other, During the whole . time Brown and bis danghbter were in the woods, they were without fire, thinly clad and with no food excepting ‘two Ba which the girl had fortunately put in her pocket before leaving home, <eeneaiceeetiiiene Lecrative Apporrment,—A consular appointment has been eonferred upon a gentleman from Boston who has an Seome of $25,000 a year to spend.
