Arrival of the Arabia. " New York, March 30, si. The Arabia, 'from Liverpool ou the 17th iust., arrived this morning. ' ' ,' :.; ' , , ' '; : ; The Calcutta telegram of the 10th, simply announcing the burning of the ship L'tJ Gauntlet, reached Loudon on the 16th. Communication between Alexandria and Kurrtchel is perfect. The address to the crown, approving the French commercial treaty, was agreed to in the Lords by 30 majority. The British Government had received a dispatch from France, declaring the annexation of Savoy absolutely necessary, but stating that the feelings of .thetiavoyards" will be cousulled before decisive measures are taken. Lord Julia Pussell said, the views ot Fogland would be forthwith embodied in a dispatch, and laid before Parliament. Loid John Russell explained the. position of China affairs, and said reasonable iudemuity will be demanded and enforced if necessary, and hoped iriWi'iiliriB'ot Ji necessary Jo gu to Pekin. 20,000 is said to have been paid Denmark for the concession V the North Atlantic telegranh via Greenland. . . -" Some EaglLih journals are getting fierce with Napoleon ou the Savoy question, which will Le settled by treaty bet weeu France and Sardinia, before the Savoyards are consulted. ' . . Switzerland bad . sent a protest . against the annexation. It is reported that French troops are uuder orders for Chaoibrayt . The Bourse closed dull at C3f. Full returns-of the voting in Italy, are overwhelmingly in favor of anaexation to Sardinia. The vote in Tuscany was 306000 for annexation and-l"5,000 for a separate kingdom. No steps have been taken yet. , " ; ; - ' ' " An insurrection in Naples is considered

imminent. In tlie House of Lor Is on' the lCth,.the State of Naples was debated, and the Duke of Somerset. said ihat protection would be afforded to political refugei'3 wlio might seek for it on loard British men of war in the Bay of Naples. . ' -. . . In the Commons, ILilliborton asked if the attention of the Government hail been directed to the fact that the Island of St. Pierre, near New Fonndland, had laen fortified by the French Government. ' Lord John Russell said that the case had been referred to law officers of the crown, who were of.'opinion that the French Govern men t had not violated -the stipulatioiisof the treaty.- Ixird John Russell made some explanations in regard to a Chinese expedition."1 H etadniittjd that it was not desirable to proceed to Pekin ; but it would be unwise to say thai it should not be done if their terms were refused, and indemnity would be demanded. The 100,000 preference capital author. zed by the Great. Ship Co.,," has all been" applied for by the 'shareholders aud tho subscription list closed. The Dally Xeir of UielTlli says, that if the statement respecting the mode of ceding Savoy be correct, the event will be more serious in its u. Innate and necessary consequences tin iu any which has occurred since the fall of tlie great Napoleon. Henceforth, not even tho most sanguine will be able to believe in the mainlainance of peace. Europe has to reckon with a power which tramples on the most sacred rights ; which has castofT respect for everything but. material force. Europe will fiud itself compelled in self-defense totoufine fhispowr-r wliiiiir-tbe limits of law. The Herald uses the same language. The Sunday J'ost believes that at present the question "stands thus: Sardinia is about to cede Savoy and Nice by treaty to France. Frauce . wiil , theu, coHauJr- (he' popiJUtion whether they choose the annexation to France or a separate independence. If tbey select the latler, then Savoy will be constituted an independent State; if the former, the result will be communicated to the Great poue s. In case of serious disapprobation and opposition ou the part of European ttttes, which, however, is not anticipated, then France would probably consent to the establishment of Savoy us an independent State. What is positive is, that Fiance will never consent under any circumstances Lo the retention of what are called the French slopes of the Alps to Sardinia, enlarged, a3 she will be, by a pow er inferior only to Prussia. ,j Fbance. The Pari3 correspondence ' of the London Times says that it is certain that the order to the French army in Lombard)' to be ready to march at a momeni's notice, has beeu countermanded. The correspondence says that an autograph letter from the Emperor Napoleon, couched in an angry style, had reached King Victor Emanuel. The EuipCTor invites the King not to accept Tuscany in his own name, notwithstanding the recent test of universal suffrage. He may uame a prince of his own house for Tuscany, and according to the same report he is debarred from occupying the Romagna, which may be governed by a Vicar acceptable to the Pope. A3 the Sardinian Government declares in advance its acceptance of the result of tbe voting, a rumor was current that Piedinoutese ; troops would forthwith enter Tuscany. ; Another rumor was that Prince Hubert, eldest son of the King of Sardinia, would be promised for the crown of Tuscany.

The Paris correspondent of the Daily News says there is some reason to think that a favorable change in the French Government has . taken place.. - On Monday' it was disjiosed to challenge the annexation of the Romagna, and to press the King of Sardinia j to negotiate further with the Pope. Yes terday it was reported that events in Italy will be suffered, for the moment at least, to follow their course. " ' - ' - s Le Xord publishes dispatches from Cardinal Autonelli in reply to the last note of M. Thonvenal. It uncompromisingly demands the return ofthe revolted provinces before even the question of reform can lw entertained, and complains that their revolt I has not ceased, because the Holy Father cannot obtain the support he might have exi peeled. The rebellion has leeu fomented from without, and the Cardinal, ennuot aee wby it sflouid not lie extinguished by legitimate assistance from abroad, and it cannot but be fairly asserted that succor offered by Catholic nations to their common Father, is in reality assistance from abroad. f Washi.noton, March 29. The managers ofthe principal Telegraph lines, in connection with ; tbe pony express, have agreed upon the following prices for private dispatches to ami from California: For ten words from any Atlantic city or any other Telegraph station, or vice, versa, two dollars fortylive cents. For a similar number of words from the first station on the California Telegraph line to any part of California and rtce verm, two dollars; while the charge for expressing the message without regard to length, will be, two dollars forty-five cents each, making the sum total front any station in the Atlantic States to any station in California six dollars ninety cents for ten words. The charge for each additional word above that number will lie twenty cents for the entire distance. The understanding is that the Telegraph companies will refund the entire toll3 to parties forwarding messages which fail to reach California or vice versa in advance of any other route, and that they will also return to the sender any moneys paid for dispatches filed in season to overtake the express at St. Josephs, which, througli any reason, may failto reach that place before the departure of the express. The House bill authorizing publishers to print on the paper the dale when subscription expires, and reducing the postage on town and city drop letters to one cent, passed both Houses of Congress. " New Yoi:ic, March 30. The official dispatcher from Capts. Jarvis and Turner, detailing the engagement with and capture of Miramon's steamers, are published. They contain however nothing of importance iu addition to what has been already stated. John Ciuuaiings was hung this morning in the Tombs yard for murder.

St. Loris, March 30. The Missouri Legislature adjourned sine die this morning. The excitement to-day in the Carstang case exceded that at any' previous session of the Court.

The Whsat Crop, in consequence of the

! scarcity of snow during the winter, the late J freezes, and the present drought, piomises la'her poorly. A Warrick connty farmer, wuo wuom we nave Dcen conversing, tens us that a number of cultivators in his neighborhood are talking seriously of ploughing up heir wheat groaud for the purpose of planting corn. lie says that there cannot possibly be over half a crop of this article the com ing season. .The growing wheat looks dry and unhealthy, and tnust have rain soon or it will not amount to much We are aware that thesa complaints of farmers (our informant does not raise, jowli wheat) are generally heard with some 'grains of allowance,1' but there is so much discouraging news in regard to the 'wheat in Kentucky, Te&oeesee, Southern Indiana, and Southern Mintd,; that there must be serious trouble. We can congratulate t-eclvc3, however, if the crop fails, in the fact that our farmers can fall back on corn tbe great Stand-by in this section. Let everything fail " but that, and if it turns out well, and the hog cholera does not prevail, still people eau live. "Hog and hominy" corn dodger and whisky I all are products of the sustaining maize.
