Several distinguished visitors have been guests of Her Majesty during the week. AT THE COUNTY COURT, last week, Mr. Matthew Chester, an attorney, practising in Liverpool, was sued by a poor woman for the sum of £2 which he had received on her behalf, but had not paid over. His Honour, in order- ing immediate payment, spoke in strong terms of censure of Mr. Chester, who, he said, disgraced his profession, by getting money from poor distressed people by the most fraudulent pretences. LIE ARCIIDEACONRY OF CARLISLE has become vacant by the death of the Rev. Dr. Goodenough ; also the rec- tories of Great Salkeld, Cumberland, and Mareham-le- Fen, Lincolnshire. The appointments, which are of the aggregate value of £1,600 a-year, are all in the gift of the Bishop of Carlisle. Dr. Goodenough was a son of the late Bishop of Carlisle, from whom he received these valu- able presentations. How TO GET OVER A DIFFICULTY.—The Univers has raked up a prophecy a hundred years old, that the dogma of the Immaculate Conception would be proclaimed in a week without a Friday. The Bth of December, on which day Rome was "drunk with joy," was a Friday, according to the calendar ; but the Pope, to celebrate the occasion in a manner altogether extraordinary, granted a dispensation from the fast usually observed on that day. Thus the prophecy was fulfilled; in a Popish point of view there was no Friday in that week. MILITARY DISCIPLINE. The East India steamer Serin,gapatam, which sailed from London in July for the Mauritius and Bombay ' • to the former with drafts of the sth Fusiliiers and 85th Regiments, to the latter with pas- sengers and cargo. encountered some foul., but not severe weather between the Cape and the Mauritius, sprung a leak, and made water in the hold at the rate of three feet per hour. Five heavy guns and nearly 300 tons of cargo were thrown overboard, and for twenty days she was in peril. In the middle of this danger the crew broached some brandy, got drunk, and mutinied. Then came into play the order, discipline, and steadiness of the British soldiers, who continued night and day to work at the pumps, and brought the ship to Port Louis. - - ►SUSPICIOUS AFFAIR.—DEATH FROM POISON.—An inquiry was opened on Friday, at Finchley, on the body of Mr. John Southgate, of Strawberry-vale, who carried on an extensive business as a calenderer in the City of London. The deceased took, on Sunday evening, what was supposed to be a dose of Epsom salts, but the parcel from which he had taken it was found to contain oxalic acid. A chemist in Aldersgate•street, from whom the deceased had purchased some salts, proved that the mis- take could not have occurred at his shop, as the parcel found in deceased's room was not sealed with the same wax as that which was used by witness. Rumours affect- ing the character of persons connected with Mr. Southgate are afloat, and the inquest was adjourned that further jnvestigation might be made. HER MAJESTY has been pleased to command that the undermentioned Regiments of Irish Militia shall be em- bodied, and placed under the orders of the General Com- manding-in-Chief, viz., Armagh, Antrim, North Cork, Dublin County, Galway, Kerry, South Mayo, and Queen's County. MR. JOHN BRIGHT'S RECEPTION IN MANCHESTER.— No member for Manchester ever received from his con- stituents such unmistakeable expressions of disapproba- tion as did Mr. Bright on Monday, after the meeting in the Town-hall. That an unfavourable reception in the Town-hall was anticipated there can be no doubt, and that the meeting was " packed " by the supporters of Mr. Bright there is abundant evidence. We have before us two printed circulars, dated from Newall's-buildings, and signed by Mr. Geo. Wilson, the first urging Mr. Bright's supporters to be early at the meeting and prevent any reso- lution being passed disparaging to that gentleman, and the other stating that Mr. Bright would be present to defend himself from any charges that might be made. During the meeting an immense concourse of persons, who had been unable to obtain admission, remained in front of the Town-hall, for the purpose of expressing their feelings towards Mr. Bright on his departure. After being re- fused a hearing in the Town-hall, the hon. member had to go through the ordeal of being hooted and groaned at by the assembly outside, who followed him and his friends along Cross-street to Market-street, giving vent to a storm of execrations which the representative of Manchester will long remember. His supporters raised cheers in opposition, but they were almost inaudible from the groans and yells that resounded on every side. The crowd seemed unable to limit their expressions of disapprobation to hisses and groans, for:as Mr. Bright and his friends were entering into the League Rooms, Newall's- buildings, a portion of the crowd made a rush upon them, with the object, apparently, of a personal attack upon Mr. Bright himself. To prevent this, several of his friends who were near him, commenced using their sticks freely on the heads of those who were below them. There were at this time in Market-street at least three thousand people, who were hooting with all their might. Some of the men became thoroughly exasperated, and turnip: --- other missiles were showered up the stairs in dozens this MOMent a coal cart was seen in Market-street number of men rushed to it, seized lumps of coal, and -hurled them through the doorway up the stairs. By way of retalia- tion, Mr. Bright's friends, finding on the top of the stairs a basket of ashes, threw the contents on those below. This caused a general melee on the stairs, during which one individual had his head cut open with a stick. In this disturbance, the most prominent actor was Mr. S. P. Robinson, one of the late secretaries of the League, who is described as having had a scientific " set-to" with a cabman. Unfortunately for Mr. Robinson, he has recently become somewhat conspicuous by a prominent moustache and beard, and Jehu, seeing the - Ldvantage of this, seized his assailant by the hirsute appendage, and shook him until his teeth rattled. In this encoun- ter Mr. Robinson's spectacles came to the ground, and could not afterwards be found ; he also lost his handker- Inspector Buckley and another officer named Platt were received a blow in the mouth the .folfc 3ffence.

On the 6th of January, 1855, will be issued the first number of a New Volume of the ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS; and not merely a New Vo- lume,.but of a New Year—each Volume being perfect and complete in itself—containing, for the-time, a faithful record, pictorial and descriptive, of all Events of Interest in every part of the World. To that limited portion of the Public wits do not subscribe to this Journal,- it may be stated, that no- period-could be selected more epportuue for commencing— the whole expense being but Twenty-six Shillings per Annum, exclusive of double numbers, which are issued on rare occa— sions, when it would be impossible to crowd the important events and engravings into a single number; for this small sum the- Subscriber will receive twenty-four large Pages— seventy-two Columns—of the most, interesting information, carefulirselected from the News of the Week, interspersed with a variety of charming Articles on the-chief topics of the day. The ILLUSTRATED LONDON NSW'S- has, by its impartial and consistent advocacy of the welfare of the Public, secured for itself, a political influence scarcely second to any News- paper in the Empire; and reference can, with some pride, be made to the support afforded to all beneficial measures, pro- posed and adopted by the English Parliament. Foreign Politics will ever command the attention which ought to be devoted to so important, a feature of a News- paper. On the question of the Russian War, during the year 1854, ONE THOUSAND ENGRAVINGS appeared in the ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS. Extensive arrangements, calculated to improve this popular Journalrand engagements, such as will greatly enrich its Literary, Scientific, and other departments, have been made, and will thus combine on this Paper the greatest talent of the day.. The ILLUSTRATED LONDON News-bas been established thirteen years, during which period it has received a greater degree of encouragement and approbation• than any Journal ever published. This is proved by, the Returns of Stamps issued frnm time to time by order of Parliament. The Stamps applied for the first six months of 1854, was upwards of 2,734,000—showing a WEEKLY CIRCULATION of upwards of ONE HUNDRED and THIRTY THOUSAND COPIES ! Terms (payment in advance)—Half -year, 138.6 d. ; Year, 265. Any of the Volumes of the ILLUSTRATED, LONDON NEWS, from the commencement to the present time, may now be had, in paper or cloth.

NEWSPAPER FOR THE FARMING AND GARDENING INTEREST. January 6 will be Polished, prim 6d., free by post, each volume complete in itself, Twenty-four, occasionally Thirty- two. Folio Pages, THE FIRST NUMBER FOR 1855 OF THE:. GARDENER'S CHRONICLE AND AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE; a Weekly Record of Rural Economy and General News.. The Horticultural part Edited by Professor LINDLEY. The Farming part (under the Editorship of a Practical Farmer-)treats of—The Practice of Agriculture, Agricultural Science, Animal and Vegetable Physiology, Improvements in Implements (described by Woodcuts whenever requisitel, Better Modes of Husbandry, Results of Experimental Farm- ing, Growth and Rotation of Crops, Management of Stock, Veterinary Science, Drainage, ;rrigation, Foresting, Road- making, Farm Buildings, Labourers, Treatment of Poultry, Agricultural Publications; in short, whatever affects the be- neficial employment of capital in hand. Reports are regularly given of the English, Scotch, and Irish Agricultural Societies and Farmers' Clubs—London market prics of corn, hay, cattle,. seeds, hops, potatoes, wool, coal., timber, bark &c., and the• Weekly Averages. As regards the Gardening part (under the Editorship of Dr. Liodley), the principle is to make it a weekly record of every- thing that bears upon Horticulture, Floriculture, Arboricul- ture, or Garden Botany, and , such Natural History as has a relation to Gardening, with Notices and Criticisms of all Works on such subjects. Connected with this part are WEEKLY CALENDARS OF GARDENING OPERATIONS, given in detail, and adapted to the objects of persons in every station or life ; so that the Cottager, with a few rods of ground before his door, the Amateur who has only a Greenhouse, and the Manager of extensive Gardens, are alike informed of the routine of operat ions which the varying seasons render neces- sary. It moreover contains Reports of Horticultural Exhibi- tions and proceedings—notic-s of novelties and improvements" —in fact, everything thatcan fend to advance the profession, benefit the condition of the workman, or conduce to the plea- sure of his employer. Woodcuts are given whenever the matter treated of requires that mode of illustration. Replies to questions connected with the object of the paper are also furnished weekly, Lastly, that description of Domestic and Political News is introduced which is usually found in a Weekly Newspaper. It is unnecessary to dwell on this head further than to say, that the Proprietors.do not range themselves under the ban- ners of any Party ; their earnest endeavours are to make THE GARDENERS' CHILONLCLE AND AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE a full and comprehensive record of fact, only—a Newspaper in the true sense of the word—leaving the reader to form his own opinions; their-object being the elucidation of the laws of Nature, not of Man, The reader is thus furnished, in ad- dition to the peculiar features of the Journal, with such infor- mation concerning the events of the day as supersedes the necessity of his.providing himself with any other weekly paper. A Prospectus, with a List of Contributors, may, be had on application ; or by letter, at the Office, 5, Upper Wellington- street, Covent-garden, andon. Parties intending to commence with the New Volume had better give their Orders at once to any Newsvender. TIRUNESS and NOISES in the. EARS.— ..

The disgrace must, therefore, attach to those who have undertaken) the task, and for the consequences the Ministers must be held respon- Bible. Lord M:WWI/LH has introduced a bill for the assimilation of the law of this country with that of Scotland, in-respect to bills of exchange. The measure has received the approval of the LORD CHANCELLOR and the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, and we may therefore anticipate that it will prove advantageous. Some bills have been brought in by Irish members, with reference to the jury system, and also to spirit duties in that country ; for the extension of the - Common Law. Procedure Act Amendment, and also to regulate fairs and markets in Ireland ; so that there will be no want of occu- pation for the legislature. Notices have also been given to move for the introduction of bills, on the re- commencement of parliamentary business. The measures promised.include the law-of partnership, newspaper stamps, church-rates,. the marriage amendment act, education, and others. The war will, consequently, prove no impediment to at- tempts at legislation, though whether they will prove more than attempts remains to be seen.

You will iind that, atter provimm for my other relatives liberally, in my opinion, you are the residuary legatee, which gives, you nearly £IOO,OOC Now, you are aware how I did intend to dispose of th bulk of this sum, but am prevented by a. legal difficult. which is not immediately removable ay will I did intend to have left you an annuity of t per annum, with house and furniture in the square, in- cluding horses, carriages, plate, pictures, linen, &c., and whatever appertains thereto, for use, which I believed you would consider quite sufficient for all purposes when Pleases God to remove me from you—an even - hick, I hope, is yet at some distance of time. May God bless you, my dear wife, will ever be the prayer of your affectionate enclosed with the will in an envelope, and given to Mrs. Ripley in November, 1851. On the sth of August, 1852, the testator made a codicil to his will ; and, after making some additional bequests, it proceeded as follows (that is to say) :—" I ratify and confirm d will." The testator, when he executed his made the following endorsement on the letter, dated the 6th of November, 1851, and enclosed with the will :--1" My property having very much increased sine( November, 1851, I think it right to increase the annuity to £1,500, which I hope, my dear wife, you will long enjoy —Thomas Ripley.—August 5, 1852." The bill alleged that ,ether Mrs on the 13th of August, 1852, Mrs. Bland, the tes sister, saw him, and that while they were to{ Ripley came into the room, and remained them he was going Mrs. Blind remarked that she thought he was going to build schools, and that thereupon the testator requested Mrs. Ripley to explain the matter toMrs. Bland, which she did, by stating that there was to be a school on the same plan as the Bluecoat Hospital at Liverpool, and that on this statement being made by Mrs. Ripley, the testator observed, " Yes, and it will be endowed with between £3,000 and £4,000 a-year. I have left all to Julia (Mrs. Ripley) ; the Mortmain Act compels me to do so, but I am sure, my dear (addressing and looking at the said Julia Ripley), you will religiousl, scrupulously, and conscien- tiously carry out my views." The bill alleged that Mrs. Ripley acquiesced in the last-mentioned observation of the testator, and on its being made took up his hand and kissed it, in token of her acquiescence therein, and that, if not in words, she at least by her acts gave the testator to under- stand that she would carry out his views, if he left his will and codicil unrevoked. The bill also alleged that between the 13th and 20th of August, 1852, the objects and pur- poses of the testator with reference to the school were the frequent subject of conversation between the testator and Mrs. Bland, and that these conversations took place for the most part in the presence of Mrs. Ripley ; and that before the testator's death Mrs. Ripley told Mrs. Bland that the testator had left her (Mrs. Ripley) an annuity of £1,500, the house, and everything appertaining to it, and that he had previously only left her £1,200 a year, but that he had added another £3OO a year when he made his codicil. These allegations were supported by Mrs. Bland's evidence. The testator died on the 20th of August, 1852. The 31st paragraph of the bill was as follows :—" The purpose and object of the said testator, as expressed in the will so cancelled as aforesaid, and as expressed to the said Julia Ripley, and agreed to be carried out by her, was that of buying land and building. an hospital or school thereon and endowing the same; and had not the said Julia Ripley (Mrs. Ripley) made such promise as afore- said, the said testator would not have left her his resi- duary, or have made his will as is hereinbefore set fnrill and thA rpsidnary clause in the said will was. in fact, inserted and made upon a secret under- Rtauding between the said testator and his wife that she would execute his wishess and defeat the operation and effect of the statute made and passed in the 9th year of his late Majesty King George 11., entitled ' An act to restrain the disposition of lands whereby the same became unalienable," commonly called the Mortmain Act. The bill was filed in May, 1i53, with the object before stated. Mrs. Ripley, by her ansker to the plaintiff's bill, denied that she had made any promise to the testator to induce him to make her his residuary legatee, or that she ever saw or knew of the contents of the letter of the 6th of November, 1851, until after the testator's death. aShe also denied ever having heard any such conversation is that alleged in the bill. Mr. John Ripley, the testator's brother, and one of the defendants in the suit, in his answer, said that the testator had repeatedly, both before and after the will of the Gth of November, in Mrs. Ripley's presence, stated that the residue, amounting to £BO,OOO, or £1,00,000, would be applied in building and endowing a charity at Lancaster. Mrs. Ripley denied ever having heard any such conversation. It was not dis- puted that the testator, for some time prior to, and down to the period of his decease, had an intention of founding a charitable institution for the benefit of his native town; Lancaster, and that he did not attempt to conceal that intention. Indeed, such was the expectation at Lan- caster that he intended to confer some benefit on that town that on the occasion of his funeral many of the shops in that place were closed, and the Mayor and some of the Town Council attended it. By the act 9th Geo. 11., chap. 36, commonly called the Mortmain Act, it is provided that to land or money to be laid out in the purchase of land shall be given for the benefit of any charitable use, unless such gift be made by deed, executed in the presence of two or more witnesses, twelve calendar months at least before the death of the donor, and be enrolled in Chancery within six calendar months after the execution thereof; and unless the same be made to take effect in possession for the charitable use intended immediately from the making thereof, and be without any power of revocation, reservation, trust, condition, limitation, clause, or agree- ment whatsoever for the benefit of the donor or grantor, or of any person or persons claiming under him. Shortly before the testator made his will, dated in November, 1351, he consulted his solicitor as to the means of orry• ng out his charitable intention. The solicitor took the opinion of conveyancing counsel in London, and thereupon informed the testator that the only means of effecting his object was by a compliance with the provisions of the Mort Main Act. The testator objected to buying land or investing money in the manner required by that statute, on the ground that it would abstract more than he could spare from his business, and he determined to make a will. He resolved to give the residue to Mrs. Ripley, taking the chance, as he said to his solicitor, of her applying it as he in his lifetime was himself proposing to apply it. In forwarding the will to the testator, his solicitor expressly told him that upon any admission by Mrs. Ripley of a secret trust the gift might be defeated, and that the whole matter must be left to her as her own. "I had satisfied myself," also said the testator, " that any promise would vitiate the will, and Mrs. Ripley also perfectly understood it." On the sth of August,lBs2, the will, by desire of the testator, was read over to Mrs. Ripley by his solicitor, and the tes- tator gave the letter of the 6th of November to his soli- citor, and desired him to read it to himself. His solicitor's expression was, that he mentally read it, and then put it into the envelope with the will. The testator gave back the envelope with its enclosures to Mrs. Ripley to lock up again in a safe. When Mrs. Ripley was sent to by the testator for his will, the solicitor deposed that the testator said to him, " I have not asked her for any promise, or anything of that sort, as you told me I was not to do so." Mrs. Ripley, so far as the 6th of April, 1853, writing to Mr. John Ripley, the testator's brother, said,—" I cannot help saying that one accusation is, that it is not my inten- tention to carry into effect my husband's wishes as to the charity he intended to found at Lancaster." And again, in the same letter, " I declare to you it is my fixed deter- mination, if it pleases God to spare my life, to carry out what you know, as well as I do, were the wishes Ind intentions of my dear husband, had he lived to out himself: On this subject I cannot In her answer to the bill Mrs. Ripley ad- t the testator expressed his intention to bulk of his property to charity, and in her she stated that he never said anything to her ldition on which the property was left to her, any desire or wish as to what sloe was to do iney, or any part of it, or gave her any di- Mr•s.

CHESTER AUTUMN MEETING.—ThE ALMA STAKES.— A new stake has been established by Mr. Topham at Chester, in commemoration of the glorious victory achieved by the allied troops on the banks of the Alma— i victory which will be ever memorable for the valour which it produced from our countryme4p; and the sacri- fices which were made without any adequate result. The Alma was a battle which, it would seem, was fought merely to show what sterling stuff our army was com- posed of, and nothing more. It was one of the many grave mistakes of the campaign, and one for which the home government alone is responsible. In looking over the list of names in the new stake, we are sorry to find so few names in accordance with the name and spirit of the stake. There are but seven names in the whole list which have any bearing upon the subject which has originated the stakes—and they together number eighty- one. It is true there are twenty without names, and we trust that these will be named after some of the heroes of the Crimea, especially of those belonging to the 23rd, which regiment may be said to have had the post of honour and of danger, as undoubtedly it had the lion's share (or, more properly, perhaps, we should say, " the bear's ") of the casualties of the bloody day. We trust that similar stakes will be established at other meetings, and that we shall have Inkerman Stakes, Balaklava Stakes, and the Alliance Cup.—Racing Times.

in action brought by aipinst theiGr9.t Northern Railway , to recover juries sustained by him on the Ist of August a collision took place on station, by which several persons were killed, and man 3 severely injured, was tried in the Queen's Bench on Mon- day. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff, with £2OO damaues and costs. ie near the Hornsea AN APPEAL has been made to talents of architects of all countries to send in plans for the future cathedral of Notre Dame de la Treille, at Lille. The style of the edifice is to be that of the end of the thirteenth century. The expense is not to exceed three millions of francs. The successful competitor will receive 10,000 francs and the appointment of architect for carrying out the works, with a liberal salary. The second approved design will have 4,000 francs, and the third 2,000 francs. Tun Connaught Watchman mentions that a few days ago, during a terrific storm, the steeple of Cross- molina Church fell through the roof with a fearful crash. A funeral service was being performed in the churchyard, and, though no person was struck by the falling stones, the electric fluid burnt the boots and leggings from the feet of some of the mourners. HOG TO HOG.—Near Kenosha, Wisconsin, a drunken man was a short time ago literally devoured by hogs while lying in the road in a beastly state of intoxication. His bones and a few remnants of his clothes were found. —American paper. SUICIDE AT NINETY YEARS OF AGE.—A widow woman named Scott, 90 years of age, committed suicide in this town on Saturday. A thin piece of rope fastened to a nail at no great height, enabled the deceased to com- mit the rash act ; and her determination is indicated by the fact that her feet more than reached the floor. Deceased had of late suffered occasionally from mental derangement.—Brechin Advertiser. A HOODED TIIIEF.—A man named Flanchin has been tried in Paris for robbery. He was accustomed to go, wearing one of those cloaks to which hoods are attached, to shops, and whilst examining different articles to raise his hand repeatedly to his neck, as if to scratch it. Each time he did this he slipped into his hood some article which he had contrived to take unobserved. At last, when detected, there were found in his hood eight watches, three chains, fourteen rings, two parcels of lace, ten tooth- brushes, several pots of pomatum, books, &e. He was sentenced to two years' imprisonment. MESSRS. SRUTTLENVORTII'S BANKRUPTCY.—Mr. G. E. Shuttleworth and his two sons, the well-known auctioneers, came before the London Court of Bankruptcy. ,on Monday. It was the certificate meeting. The accounts showed, liabilities £26,000; assets about £5,300; property held by creditors, £8,626. Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque gave judgment, and, on the ground that the trading had been carried on most improvidently, and that the book-keeping had been of the worst description, awarded a certificate of the third class. The certificate of the elder bankrupt was suspended for three months, that of the sons fortwo years. Protection was granted._ THE NEW BANE OF ENGLAND NOTE.—At a meeting of the Society of Arts, on 'Wednesday, a paper was read on the new Bank of England note, which showed the improve- ment effected by the substitution of surface printing from electrotypes for the ordinary copperplate printing. The bank notes, by this system, are printed at a Steam press, constructed by Napier, at the rate of •3,000 an liour. A new Britannia has been devised by Mr. Maclise. The paper has been-much improved, and other alterations have been made. By the new system the most perfect identity will be insured. --- VALUABLE DISCOVERY.—A letter from Paris says— " Dr. Griseler has accidentally discovered, that by adding a few drops of nitric ether to the most rancid oils all the SllElLorne~}.le ell; V..1"17.3, .341.1. that warming the oil, to separate the spirit from it, it becomes as clear and as limpid as though it had never been dete- riorated. According to the doctor's account, some drops of the nitric ether will prevent oil from becoming rancid." ----- FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION.—On Tuesday morning a • boiler explosion took place at the chemical works of Messrs. Pattinson and Co., Newcastle-on-Tyne, which are very extensive, covering 17 acres of ground, and giving employment to 1,5006 men. Before the explosion it was discovered that the boiler leaked, and the fire was ordered to be-drawn out, which was just about to be done when the explosion took place, killing two men and seriously injuring two others, besides doing damage to the amount of from £5OO to £6OO. A piece of the boiler, -weighing a ton and a-half, was carried 60 yards, and fell through one of the workshops. A WEALTHY MENDICANT.—Last week, about-half-Past two o'clock in the morning, an aged woman, in the most abject state of wretchedness and nearly perished with cold, applied to be admitted into the Camberwell Work- house, which was immediately granted. From certain circumstances which afterwards occurred, the master had her searched, when a bag was found upon her person con- taining 44 new sovemigns. . • Sroau AND Loss or "APR.—A full gale of Wind -has been blowing since Thursday night. At times it rose to a violent storm. For the past 10 days or a fortnight, the weather has been unusually boisterous for the month of December. However, owing to the superior class of steam- vessels now engaged in the mail and passenger service, not only has there been no serious injury sustained by any of them on the sea between Dublin and Liverpool and Holyhead, but their arrivals are generally punctual to the time they are due. THE MAGNETIC TFLE GRA P On Thursday, an action for breach of contract was tried before the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas and a special jury. Mr. Richard Byrne, merchant, of Dublin, sought to recover £2OO damages against the Magnetic Telegraph Company, for neglecting to send a message to Scotland which they undertook to do, and from neglect of which the plaintiff lost a large sum. Upon the part of the defendants, the case relied on in statement and proof was, that they con- tracted to send all messages, subject to the natural casualties arising from the state of the weather, &c. ; that they sent the plaintiff's message to Belfast, and that the weather prevented the ,company's agents there from forwarding it to Scotland; and that, therefore, they were not liable. The jury found for plaintiff'--£2O damages. ANATOMY OF A RUSSIAN GUY FA wicEs..--An Irish surgeon, residing in Manchester, has sent us an account of a post mortem held on the body of Mr. Bright's effigy, which was burnt here the other day. The appearances observed were the following :—The whole exterior exhi- bited a drab discolouration. The chest presented an almost total absence of heart ; the pericardium forming a kind of cyst, bag, or purse, resembling an old brown paper cap, and exhaling a strong odour of Russian leather compinni- cated to it by a quantity of rancid oil, which constituted the liquor pericardii. The heart, or what remained of it, afforded throughout a specimen of fatty degeneration, and may abe said to have consisted of tallow. The lungs were consolidated by a morbid deposit of a nature apparently bituminous, like pitch or tar, and the only air tubes per- ceptible in them had the appearance of straw. In the stomach, tbs liver attracted attention by its remarkable whiteness, which was owing to its structure having assumed a cottony character. The convolutions of the viscera also bore a singular resemblance to cotton twist. The head contained an average proportion of brain, but it had all been converted into lignine or woody fibre, disposed in bundles like deal shavings, which smelt powerfully of tur- pentine. All these appearances were considered quite sufficient to account for the inflammation which termi-. nated the patient's careen—Punch. AMERICAN HOPS..—Hors are becoming an important article of foreign as well as of domestic commerce. We are now supplying the English market with the growth of 1854. The hop trade of this country is destined to be one of vast importance, but, as yet, we produce comparatively but few, the breadth of land devoted to their cultivation not exceeding 8,000 acres, chiefly in New York and east, The average crop and consumption hitherto have not ex- ceeded 20,000 bales of 200 lb. to the bale. This year's growth goes beyond the average by at least 6,000 to 8,000 bales, and a brisk export demand is the result at remunera- tive prices —4O cents per pound. Already the exports amount to 5,000 bales, worth at least the large amount of 400,000 dollars. There is every probability of the foreign demand continuing, as prices range in England from 80 to 120 cents per pound, whilst 15 cents will cover all the expenses of shipment, sale, duty, &c. Should this foreign demand continue another week or two, we shall be left with a deficiency on this side, and as malt is 75 pt. cent. above the average price of the past twenty years, brewers will have to advance their prices from five to seven dollars per barrel for the genuine article.—New York Shipping List. COTYNTERPEIT SOVEREIGNS IND HALVES.-11 appears that amongst the base coin in circulation are some Vic- toria half-sovereigns of 1852, struck out of brass with a die, and electro-plated, and so hard that they will not bend in the detector. In point of weight they are very much lighter, and the " ring" is very brassy and dull, The milling round the edge is very -perfect, but the die from which they have been struck was far from perfect, and on inspection showed that the letters a", in Britanniarum are inverted. Some Victoria sovereigns, of the same date, are also in circulation. They are made in the same way ne 4ha Italf-enviaraione hnt H, din frnm whirb thew }lava been struck was coarser and more faulty than that from which the half-sovereigns had been struck. The wreath which is round the coat of arms contains fewer leaves than in a real one, whilst the letters are larger and coarser, and the figures in the date are not all of one size, and the &its or pellets between the inscriptions are wanting.—Standard. tlemen. s, which IMPS the reverend gentlerr earnest prayer that AT A TT instrumentality, extend the of the churel pointed past the Lord, an utterly address ..,:411, / ISER. he mission on v ) be engaged, an thiouh th, .e and Undefiled tea( I that they might fight tl loft the standard of the c e was never before heard, tor then read t: REV.

A NEW FEATURE has been 'added to the Crystal Palace in the shape of a news-room, the price of admission to which is a penny each visit, or 10s. a-year. The papers and reviews are filed—writing materials are at hand—a post- box is provided—and the telegraphic despatches are exhi- bited on the boards. THE NEW ROYAL STEAM YACHT.—By command of Her Majesty, the new royal steam yacht;now n( for launching at Pembroke, is to be named t ray read Victori and Albert, 'and the present Victoria and Albert is to have her name changed to the Osborne. DESPATCHES from Hanover announce that the govern- ment is occupied in reinforcing the army, and principally the artillery. The greatest activity prevails in the arsenals, and important orders have been given for arms for the infantry. THE PAINTINGS in the chapel at Fontainebleau, by Freminet, injured by time and carelessness, have been re- vived, under the direction of the Minister of State, M. Achille Fould, by M. Theodore Lejeune. The chapel was built about 1529; and it was in 1603 that Henry IV. led Freminet to 'visit Paris, and commissioned him to decorate this edifice. A PARTY of rich gentlemen have arrived at Jerusalem with the purpose of commencing a colony in Jericho. There are many similar projects proposed in different parts of the land. At Tyre and Sidon an architect has arrived from England, accompanied with men and means to com- mence a colony. JOHN lirGuEs was executed at Melbourne on the 22nd of September, for the murder of Mr. Abraham Marcus, whilst 'he and his family were en route for the diggings. After his conviction the culprit boasted of having been concerned in thirteen different murders, one of which was committed a few minutes after Mr. Marcus's life was 'taken. PUBLIC INCOME AND EXPENDITURE.-By a parlia- mentary return, just published, Of the public income and expenditure for the year ended 10th of October last, it appears that the total income amounted to £55,296,566 16s. 7d., and the expenditure £56,183;935 19s. 2d., being an excess of expenditure over income of £887,369 2s. 7d. The balance in the Exchequer on the 10th October amounted to £5,626,529 9s. 11d. EXTRAORDINARY PRIZE.—Mr. George Mansfield, son of the late Mr. Mansfield, shipbuilder, of Lyme Regis, has had £5,000 awarded to him us salvage for recovering 60,000 sovereigns from the ship Sacramento, wrecked at Port Philip on the 28th of April last. His boat's crew, six in number, were also awarded—one £2,000, and the others £1,500 each ; makiMg a total of £14,500. Two MEDICAL MEN have given evidence at an inquest at Wells, and the Jury have returned a verdict, that an Italian organ-grinder, named Batt, died from apoplexy, caused by making a hearty meal of new bread and hot tea. THE LAST PIECE IN CAM REFORM has now been carried out. The watermen are clothed in uniform, placed under the superintendence of the police, who are to prevent them spending their timein public-houses, are to be paid at the police-stations, and'forbidden to take any gratuities. IT has been resolved by the committee of the Royal Caledonian Asylum that nnchildren of civilians shall be admitted to the institution so long as there are any pro- perly-qualified candidates, who are children of military or naval men. BATTLE OF LOCKSMITHS.—In the Court of Queen's Bench, on Thursday, Messrs. Parnell, the lock manufac- turers, of the Strand, London, brought.= action against Mr. oater' foreman•of Mr. Chubb, :lock manufacturer, St. Paul's, for a libel. In the Great Exhibition, a lock of the plaintiffs was exhibited with • a label attached to it, offering 200 guineas, cm 'certain conditions, to any one who would pick it. The defendant did pick it, and claimed the 200 guineas, but, not getting !the money, he pub- lished an advertisement which contained the alleged libel. The jury found for the plaintiffs, damages £3O, on the grounds that the defendants °did -not comply with the conditions, having, without authority, entered the stall, The tiefin.-41.-vi and stated that be could open any locks if allowed time. Ties VESTIGMS.—A Mr. Page, who has been a writer in Chambers' s Edinburgh Journal, writes to the Athe- rheum, accusing Mr. R. Chambers of 'being the author of the Vestiges ,of Creation. Page was asked by Mr. William Chambers to write a review of the book for the journal, but after reading it, declined, stating his belief as to the author. Mr. William Clambers received this announcement with apparent surprise ; but denied all knowledge of the matter, and there the subject dropped. Some time after;however, and when the work was being severely handled by the reviewers,. Mr. Robert Chambers alluded to the matter, affecting ignorance and innocence of the authorship, upon which 'Mr. Page remarked, that had he seen the sheets before going to press, he could have prevented some of the blunders. The consequence of this remark was, that Mr. Robert Chambers sent him the proof sheets of the second or third edition of the Vestiges, with the request that he would enter on the margin any eorrectiens or suggestions4hat occurred. Mr. Page states that dle .made some notes-; but he does not say whether the notes were adopted into the reimpression. However, he has, as tie declares, " made s. clean breast of it " at length, and he concludes with the remark—" If merit is attachable to the work, the author will reap his high reward—if demerit, the blame will, at least, fall on the right shoulders." THE PHOTOGRAPHIC PROCESS.—An action was tried in the Court of Common Pleas, on Wednesday, brought by Mr. Fox -Talbot, who has hitherto been acknowledged to be the discoverer of photography, who bad obtained the Royal Society's medal for the invention, and after whom he art was named Talb3type, against a person named Laroche, for theinfringment of the plaintiff's patent. The defendant was engaged in taking photographic portraits, and used what is called the "collodion -process." The questions for the jury to determine were, whether the plaintiff was the first and true inventor of the process, and, if so, whether the .collodion process WWI an infring,ement of it. Their verdict was that Mr. Talbot was theinventor, and, on the other part .of the ease, that the defendant was not guilty. ACTION AGAINST TIIE -"'EXAMINER " FOIL 'LIBEL.— In the Queen's Bench, on Wednesday, an action was tried before Lord Campbell, in which Mr. Birch, formerly the proprietor of a newspaper,, published in Dublin,•called the World, sought to recover damages from Mr. John Forster, the editor and proprietor of the Examiner, for a libei.con- tained in that paper. The alleged libel was contained in an article commenting, with •great severity, on the con- duct of the plaintiff, who, some time ago, made himself conspicuous by bringing an action, in Dublin, against Lord Clarendon, for money which, he said, was due to him, for writing articles in his paper in support of "law and order" in Ireland. The %defendant pleaded justifica- tion. The plaintiff conducted his own case, and called Lord Palmerston, Sir Charles Wood, and the Earl of Clarendon, who gave an account of the various proceed- ings which had taken place between Mr. Birch and the Government. The Attorney-General appeared for the de- fendant, and, in support of the plea of justification, the articles in the World were put in evidence, and it was proved that the plaintiff had been twice committed to prison for libel. Alexander Robinson, formerly manager of the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Insureueo Office, stated that, in 1842, the plaintiff wanted £6O or £7O not to write and injure that office, as he had the European. Qther witnesses gave similar evidence. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant. Altcrt..voLoGisTs.—The Morning Post reports a meet- ing of the Archaeological Association, very discreditable to a bony of savans. It appears that, for some time past, heartburnings have been going on within the society, which have now broken forth. Mr. Hugo, the secretary, complains that Mr. Pettigrew, the treasurer, arrogates to himself all the conduct of the society, issuing circulars and calling meetings, &c., without consulting the secretaries and council, whose names he nevertheless appends to the business notices, The treasurer's friends met the question boldly, by proposing him at once as president of the asso- tion. Mr. Jowitt and others remonstrated that this mea- sure was of a piece with the course that had driven so many of the best men away from the society, but the mo- tion was carried by 35 to 22. Many of our readers will no doubt remember that this association is a schism from the Archaeological Institute. FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—An accident of a most remarkable character, by which four lives were lost, oc- curred on Monday evening, last week, shortly after seven o'clock, at the Northside Colliery, Bedminster, near Bris- tol. Four persons, named Frederick Pike, Charles Row- land, John Woodbridge, and Simon Durbin, entered the " cart" as usual, for the purpose of descending the pit to their work. When they had got some distance down, a bolt broke and threw the whole of the machinery out of gear, affecting first the small cog-wheel, which was broken in halves, and subsequently the side wheel, which was broken to pieces. The rope then broke, and the four men were precipitated to the bottom of the shaft, where the " cart" fell into a " crock" of water, and the rope fell on them. John Melson and several other men proceeded to tance, but it was nearly two o'clock 6 before the rope could be removed so arch could be made in the water for the bodies. re at length got out they were all dead, and as found in the " cart" in a sitting position. the force of the concussion of one portion of the j against the other, that a large piece of the cog- wheel was forced a distance of about 50 feet through the .00f of a cottage, and fell into a bedroom at the foot of L.

The troops will most probably be disemba x, 20Tll D: and the Western poi` supplied, there are things which one cannot have in too great quantities, such as blankets, linen, lint, &c., and gifts of this kind will always be received with satisfaction. The Ministers of War and of the Marine avail themselves of this occasion to address their thanks to the Prefects of the Lower Loire and the Seine, who have taken the lead in this respect. The Moniteur publishes the following despatch from Admiral Hamelin, dated Kamiesch Bay, Dec. 12:— " One thousand men arrived on the 10th from the Bos- phorus. English and French ships are bringing to-day 3,300 more, with munitions of war. The town for the last two days has been keeping up a tolerably heavy can- nonade. The enemy has made two vigorous sallies upon our lines and upon those of the English. When they arrived upon the parapet they were received with a well= sustained fire of musketry, and were driven back at the bayonet's point, after an obstinate contest." The Indus arrived at Marseilles on Thursday, from Constantinople, with dates of the 10th, and accounts from Balaklava to the Bth. The Vladimir and a second Russian steamer arrived on the 6th on the French flank outside the Quarantine Point, and opened fire. The Valorous, the Terrible, and a French steamer, compelled them to put back under the batteries. The French repel the continual sallies of the Russians. The 9th and 90th Regiments and a part of the 34th had arrived since the 4th. General Pennefather was ill at Balaklava. Lord Cardigan had left for England. The Moniteur of Friday contains the following official despatches " THE CHARGE D'AFFAIRES OF FRANCE AT CONSTANTI- NOPLE TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER OF Fo- REIGN AFFAIRS AT PARIS. PERA, DEC. 10.—Prince Napoleon is making his prepa- rations to return to the Crimea, although the state of his health still requires care. The English steamers Candia, Ripon, Emeu, and Thames, arrived yesterday or to-day with 4,266 men of the Seventh Division." "THE CHARGE D'AFFAIRES OF FRANCE AT CONSTAN- TINOPLE TO HIS' EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AT PARIS. PEER, DEC. 15.—General de Montebello has arrived from the Crimea. He will leave for France on the 22nd. The position before Sebastopol continued to be very good on the 13th." ADMIRAL HAMELIN TO THE MINISTER OF MARINE MONTEZUMA, KAMIESCH, DEC. 7.—Yesterday a Rus- sian frigate and a Russian schooner left Sebastopol, and sailed in all haste towards the bay of Strelestka. The Megere, which was on the watch, exchanged cannon shot with these two vessels, which were received at the entry of Strelestka by our two look-out ships, anchored in that bay. At the approach of an English frigate, which three other Fnglish and French frigates followed, the enemy retraced his route and returned in great haste to Sebas- topol. None of the Russian balls reached our ships nor the left of our troops encamped at Strelestka." RUSSIAN PREPARATIONS FOR THE NEXT CAMPAIGN. A letter from St. Petersburgh, dated Dec. 8, says :—lt ought not to be supposed in England that because Russia remained entirely passive this summer in the Baltic, and allowed her ships to be cooped up at Cronstadt and Swea- borg, that she intends to follow a similar course in the ensuing campaign in the Baltic. It may with truth be asserted that the declaration of war took Russia by surprise, and that, with all the gigantic resources she possesses, neither the army nor the fortresses were at all prepared for active warfare. The same may be said with regard to the navy, and to a much greater extent, both in the Baltic and Black Sea. But the extensive preparations now making in the imperial arsenals for putting the Baltic fleet in a condi- tion not only to carry on a defensive war, but even to assume the offensive, are of such vast magnitude that they ought not to be overlooked in England or thought lihtly of. The most important of these measures is the illme- diate formation of no less than twenty-six reserve com- panies of sailors or ships' crews, to replace those that may be swept off by British and French cannon-balls nett summer. According to the Russian system, the Baltic fleet is divided into three divisions ; the head-quarters of the first and second being at Cronstadt, and of the third at Sweaborg. The new companies or crews are to be formed of those sailors now on furlough and those whose time of service expires on the 13th Jannary next. • The old line-of-battle ship Andreas, 81, is to be con- verted into a block ship in lieu of the Arsis, which will be fitted for active service. The new screw three-decker building here is to be called the Emperor Alexander, and is to be ready for service by the end of March next. The impracticable old ship Emgeiten, 84, is to do duty only as a harbour ship, and will be replaced by the Natro- mennia, 74, and receive the eighth equipage or crew. The old line-of-battle ship Empress Alexandra, 84, the frigate Proserpine, 44, and the brig Kasansky, 20, are to broken up as being perfectly unserviceable. The steam squadron which had left Sweaborg for a cruise on the withdrawal of the British fleet, consisted of the Kamtschatka, 16, 540-horse power, carrying the flag of Vice Admiral Tirinow ; the Smiloi, oi, 12, 400 horse power ; the Olaf, 16, 450 horse power ; the Grosaschi, 6, 4.50-horse power; the Chrabroi, 6, 300 horse power ; the Gremiaschoi, 6, 400 horse power ; the Rurik, 6, 300 horse power; the Otwaschnoi, 6, 400 horse power; and the Bogatyr, 6, 300 horse power—all paddle-wheel steamers. _ _ Since then another squadron has left the port of Swea- borg and been out on a cruise, consisting of the line-of- battle ships Procher, 84, with the flag of Vice Admiral Rumjanzow ; the Pultawa, 84, the Brienue 74 ; and the Vladimir, 84—towed respectively by the steam frigates Olaf, Gremiaschoi, Runk, and Smiloi. At the completion of their cruise they proceeded to Cronstadt, where they remain for the winter. There are, therefore, four line-of- battle ships and four steam frigates less now at Sweaborg than there were in the summer. THE MISFORTUNES OF WAIL—Four sons from one family, in the neighbourhood of Maidstone, have been engaged in the Crimean war, all of whom have been killed. THE non-commissioned officers and privates of the South Devon Militia have subscribed the handsome sum of £169 10s. sd. towards the Patriotic Fund.—Exeter Post. THE 82ND REGIMENT.—IIIStrUCtiODS have been received by this regiment to be .in readiness to leave Edinburgh, for Corfu, about the end of this month. The Balicarra has been chartered for the conveyance of the corps, and the port of embarkation will probably be Liverpool. THE CZAR'S NAME-DAY was kept at Berlin on the 18th, the Feast of St. Nicholas, according to the Russian calendar. The Russian Ambassador, Baron Budberg, gave a dinner, at which the " Health of the Czar" was proposed by M. Manteuffel, the Prussian Premier. Baron Budberg in turn proposed the " Health of the King of Prussia." The next day the Russian Ambassador dined at court. STOVES FOR nErE CRIMEA.—A large number of stoves for the Crimea hav been sent to the Tower, from which place they will be fsrwarded in a few days to their desti- nation. Several hundred tin pipes were also brought, which will be fixed in the stoves when they are placed in the tents. IRON BATTERIES FOR THE BALTIC.—The batteries are to be forty in number, and are to be ready in March next. They will be flat-bottomed, with round stem and stern, and nearly 2,000 tons' burthen, one hundred and eighty feet long, fifty-six feet wide, twenty feet deep, and pro- pelled by horizontal engines of two hundred-horse power. The strongest materials are to be employed in the build- ing of these formidable engines of war. Each of the plates with which they will be encased is twelve feet long, three feet wide, and four inches thick ; and each battery will require seven hundred tons of those plates. From experiments which have been made, and of which these batteries are the result, it has been found that the strength of iron increases enormously in proportion to its integral thickness as compared with the same amount of metal in lamina or single plates, however closely or firmly they may be united. These gunboats are to be armed with twelve of the largest Lancaster guns. Each boat will have two decks, the upper being bomb proof, eight inches thick, and the lower will be the fighting deck. THE HOSPITAL AT SCUTARI.— A correspondent of The Morning Post tells us something of the nurses at Scutari : " Miss Nightingale is, of course, the directress, assisted by Mrs. Bracebridge. I hear that ten of the nurses are Sisters of Charity, ten from Miss Sellon's sisterhood, five from the Bishop of London's training institution, and the remainder from Miss Nightingale's own hospital. When the staff of nurses arrived, the embassy very properly sent two attaches to land them, and all the heads at Scutari exerted themselves in every way to contribute to their comfort. The quarters in the south-east tower wcregiven up to them. Every one speaks in the highest possible terms of Miss Nightingale as a very sensible, lady-like, and holy- minded creature, and Mrs. Bracebridge is said to be in every way admirably adapted for her important position. The following extract from a Scutari letter will be read with interest :--` On in val here: my wound was nc found so bad as was expected. I have, therefore, caul especial thankfulness.

Entirely appreciating the patriotic senti- ment which has dictated these generous offers, the Minis- ters have not been able to accept them. It is, at the same time, the duty and the privilege of the whole country to reward the services of those who shed their blood for it ; such is the opinion of the Emperor, and His Majesty's , . Government has not shrunk from, and will not ;Mink from, any sacrifice fully to satisfy this sacred obligation.

FOREIG N INTELLIGENCE, AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE AFRICA By the British and North American Royal Mail steam- ship Africa, Capt. Harrison, which arrived on Sunday at noon, we have intelligence from New York to the 13th inst. She brought eighty passengers, but no specie. The U. S. steam-ship Pacific, Nye, arrived at New York on the 13th inst. In the municipal elections iu the United States, the Know-Nothings had been almost entirely successful. It is stated that,there is not a single applicant for the office of Governor for the territory of Utah, soon to become vacant by the expiration of Brigham Young's term. A run had been made upon the Savings-bank in New York, by the working-classes. General T. H. Adams was elected Governor of South Carolina on the 11th. Five propellers were frozen in at Cleveland, on Lake Erie, and the propeller Baltic, which had been compelled to return, reported solid ice as far as coul )e seen It was reported that the Laumann-house, at Portage Falls, was entirely consumed by fire on the evening of the 12th. The cotton-mill of Wm, H. Cary, at Melly Boston, was destroyed by fire on the 15th; loss, $14,060 The 'failure of Messrs:Blodgett and Co., of Boston, had been announced. It is stated that they owe between $1,900,000 and $2,000,000, and show a surplus of $200,000 or $300,000. The failures at the South and West, and the utter impossibility of collecting the vast sums due to them is assigned as the cause. The suspension of Messrs. Taylor and Casselly, at New Orleans, and four commission and grocery firms, was also announced. In the Senate, on the 11th, a bill to establish a uniform rate of naturalisation throughout the United States, to act prospectively upon those foreigners only who entered the United States after the passage of the act, was intro- duced, read, and referred to the Judiciary Committee. The bill extended the term of naturalisation to twenty-one years. In introducing the bill, Mr. Adams denied he had any connexion with the Know-Nothings, or with any other political secret association, and disclaimed any hos- tility to foreigners ; but he thought emigration dangerous, inasmuch as foreigners ranged themselves with Aboli- tionists. He introduced the bill because he had learned that a band of Germans had burned an American senator in effigy. Mr. Brodhead moved that the Appropriation Bill of last session, for the support of the ocean mail steamers, be referred to the Committee on Post Roads. He thought the allowance was too high, and that the steamers were utterly useless for war vessels. He would give the notice, and take the vessels at their appraised value. The bill was ultimately laid on the table. In the House of Representatives, on the 11th, leave to offer a resolution, requesting the President to tender his mediation in the pending war in Europe, was refused. On the 12th, abill for the "Better, kieservation of Life and Property on the Long Island and New Jersey Coasts" was passed by a large majority. The bill authorises the Secretary of the Treasury to establish additional stations along the coasts of Long Island and New Jersey, and change other stations, with the view of giving effect to this act. It likewise provides for the appointment of keepers and a general superintendent. Mr. Wallbridge had, in a long speech, introduced his motion for Repealing the Duty on Foreign Coal. It was expected that it would be carried by a large majority. A memorial had been presented from the American Philo- sophical Society asking an outfit to search for Dr. Kane's Arctic Expedition. It was understood at Washington that no business of importance would be transacted until after the holidays. The correspondent of the New York Herald says there is evidence that the conference at Ostend met in compliance with instructions from Washington, and it was only in consequence of these instructions that Messrs. Buchanan and Mason were induced to become parties to it ; and that the conference was to consider but one subject—the Cuba question. The report in the State department announced that the safety of the United States required, and their interest demanded, the possession of Cuba, by negotiation and purchase, if possible; by force, if necessary. According to Washington advices, the President was extremely anxious to accomplish a modification of the pre- Sent tariff, the raising of four new regiments, and the increase of the navy. The New York Journal of Commerce says, " The present war, if it humbles the power of Russia, as we be- lieve in the end it must, will put a new commercial aspect upon this whole part of the world. The Porte has, indeed, been anxious to develop the resources of this region by attracting hither foreign trade and capital, but the condi- tion in which it was bound by treaties to keep the Black Sea has vastly impeded its enlightened plans. All nations besides Russia may find satisfaction in the prospect that this state of things will soon cease for ever." CALIFORNIA.—The steam-ship North Star had arrived at New York, from Aspinwall, on the morninc, of the 11th, with a week's later news from the Pacific, and specie and gold-dust to the amount of $1,384,005 on freight. The mines in some places continued to yield good returns. In other places the early rains had spoiled the works of the miners, and delayed for a time their chances of " making a pile." A nugget of gold, weighing three-and-a-half pounds, had been taken out of Hornitas Creek, Mariposa County. Froin Oregon the reports of the hostility of the Indians still continue, and it was believed that they had deter- mined upon a combined hostile demonstration against the whites. A severe fight had taken place near Portland, in which five persons were killed and several wounded. The gold excitement continued, but there were doubts as to the genuineness of the article represented to be found. Incendiaries were busily and successfully at work at Port- land. ME.xlco.—The steamship Orezeba had arrived at New Orleans, with dates from Mexico to the 6th instant. In an engagement at Morelia, department of Michoacan, on the 21th November, the rebels were entirely routed, and 300 of them killed. General Rehagary, the governor of the province, who commanded the Government forces, was also killed. The election as to whether Santa Anna should continue President of the Republic was progress- ing. He had issued a decree making it compulsory for Government employes to vote, under a penalty of dis- missal from office in the event of a refusal. The revolution appears to he gaining ground, notwithstanding the above mentioned reverse. It is said that the Government of Honduras has agreed to sell Tigre Island to the United States for the sum of $20,000. The ownership of the island is, however, disputed by the Government of Sal- vador. One hundred and sixty of the compatriots of Count Boulbon, had been released by the order of Santa Anna, as a mark of esteem to the Emperor of France. Five civil judges had been suspended from their offices, in consequence of having made disrespectful communications to the President. The plague was making great ravages in the interior. The cities of Mexico and Vera Crnz had voted almost unanimously in favour of continuing Santa Anna as President. CANADA.—The Canadian Parliament was to be ad- journed on the 15th instant. Lord Elgin was to give his assent to the Clergy Reserves Bill, and the Abolition of Feudal Reserve Bill, and then to resign in favour of Sir Edmund Head. His Lordship was expected to leave New York by steamer about the 23rd. The Reciprocity Bill for Nova Scotia passed the Legislature on the 11th by a majority of twenty-two. From the Sandwich Islands we learn that the treaty with the United States had been assented to by the Royal Family. The arrival of a portion of the Japan squadron at Honolulu had created a great sensation. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORE, 13th Dec. MoNEY.—The general features of the money market were encouraging, though there was no change in the rates of interest. The supply of money on demand was rather increasing, and it was freely loaned on available securities at 7 per cent. The demand for commercial paper was limited, and the best names could not be dis- counted under 10 or 12 per cent. There had been a number of failures among the small dealers, from the effects of the high rate of discount prevailing. The want of confidence in paper increased the amount of capital seeking investments in stocks. The bank panic in the Western States appeared to have ceased. In Exchange the business for the Africa had not been large. Bills in London were quoted 7 to 81 per cent. premium ; Paris, &c., f. 5, 181 to f. 5, 161 60 days, and f. 5, 12k to f. 5, 114 short sight; Antwerp, f. 5, 181 to f. 5. 16; ; Hamburg 361 to 361.

FRElGllTS.—Notwithstanding the offerings to Great Britain continued large, the market was a shade easier, Darticularly This was accounted for by tact that several parties who had contracted for freight room in advance, had been obliged to under-let it, owing to their inability to obtain grain at prices within the limits- of ioreign oraers. me rates were—to Liverpool, for cop- ton, 3-16 d. per lb.; flour, ls. 6d. to ls. 9d. per barrel; grain, 4d. to 4.1 d. per bushel.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.—The jobbing trade has quite moderate, and, as is usual on the day precedin,, - sailing of the steamer, very little has been done from the hands of importers. Money matters appear to be less stringent than at the date of the sailing of the last steamer. FRANCE -The Moniteur notifies that on Tneida 26th, the Emperor will open, in person, at the Palace of the Tuileries, the legislative session of 1855, and will re- ceive the oaths of those Members of the Senate and Legislative Corps who have not yet fulfilled that formality. There is a very general belief in Paris that four regiments of the Imperial Guard arc to be sent to the Crimea, under the command of two Colonels of this corps d'e'lite. The Colonels of the First Regiment of Grenadiers and of the Second Regiment of Voltigeurs, will, it is said, be selected for this honourable service. In order to generalise as much as possible the participation of the Imperial Guard in the war, the battalions to be sent out will be formed of companies selected from every regiment, and it is intended that these battalions shall be augmented or filled up as vacancies may occur by drafts from General Canrobert's army, it being understood that enrolment in the Imperial Guard will be one of the most precious rewards for good and gallant conduct. It has further been determined that as soon as the Imperial Guard arrives in the Crimea a bat- talion of Zouaves, consisting entirely of men who have. distinguished themselves in the Crimean campaign, shall be incorporated in the force. SPAIN.—On the 13th, a committee of the Cortes re commended to that body that a Parliamentary investiga- tion of the conduct of Queen Christina should be made. In the Cortes, on the 12th, M. Heros, Intendant of the Queen's Household, announced that from the Ist of No- vember all the Royal domains, with the exception of the- palaces and gardens, will pay the tax on real property. The question of suppressing the octroi was still before the Cortes. The impost yields 89,000,000 per annum. Some disturbance by armed men had taken place at Aranjuez, and troops had been sent to repress them. TheDiario of the 16th, says that the Government is preparing to reform the concordat, and to sell the property of the clergy to make up the deficit which will be occasioned by the sup- pression of the octroi. It says, also, that in presenting the budget to the Cortes, it means to demand an authori- sation to levy the taxes from the Ist January next. company of the 3rd battalion of the National Guard, and part of another company of the same battalion, had been disarmed. The _Espana announces that the democrats In the Cortes have withdrawn their demand for the im- peachment of the members of the Cabinet of the 18th July. ftANOVEß.—Despatches from Hanover announce that the Government is occupied in reinforcing the army, and principally the artillery. The greatest activity prevails in the arsenals, and important orders have been given for arms for the infantry. PRUSSIA.—A Berlin despatch of the 17th says :—" The Austrian, English, and French envoys separately presented yesterday to Baron Manteuffel the ratified treaty of the 2d December, with separate notes, inviting the adhesion of Prussia thereto." The Prussian Minister of War has ordered telegraphic wires to be laid down to connect all the principal fortresses with Berlin ; also the military stations situated along the coast. PENINSULA.—The Madrid, with the Peninsular mail, arrived at Southampton, on Friday afternoon, with £19,000 in specie, cargo of fruit, and 123 passengers.. Dates from Gibraltar, 14th December; Lisbon, 19th; and, Vigo, 21st. Vessels from England are admitted at Lisbo% free from pratique, excepting from the ports of Londorr and Gloucester, which must perform quarantine. Bread was rising fast in price in Lisbon. AUSTRIA.—The Emperor of Austria has nominated the Emperor Napolern Grand Cross of the Order of St. Stephen. The journals publish the following as a copy of the original short note addressed by Prince Gortschakoff to Count Buol, on the 28th of November, announcing the Emperor's (so called) unreserved acceptance of the four points :—" The undersigned is authorised to declare to- his Excellency the Count de Buol,that His Majesty the Env' peror Nicholas accepts the four propositions of the Cabinet" of Vienna as a starting point of negotiations for peace. GORTSCILAROFF."—The following is the reply of Count Buol, dated the 30th ultimo :—" The underr'gn Minister- of Foreign Affairs has placed before the Emi er it the note which his Excellency Prince Gortschakoff did him the" honour to address to him on the 28th instant. His Im- perial Majesty sees with lively satisfaction that the Ern' peror of all the Russias accepts the four preliminary pro- positions, which Count Esterhazy had been charged to present in August last to the Imperial Cabinet of Russia, as the basis of a general understanding. Appreciating at their full value the intentions which have inspired dal important resolution, the Emperor Francis Joseph thinks he cannot better reply to it on his part than by making it the object of a communication to the Courts of Pars' and London, with which he finds himself engaged to at- tempt a frank and equitable solution of these four points, which are considered as being the indispensable prelimi- naries to the re-establishment of the general peace, BuoL."

book like ti this article must be one of more than ordinary or ephemeral interest. As an intelligent and inde- fatigable observer of the physical phenomena which 'diversify the liquid and aerial fluids surrounding elm- globe, Lieutenant Maury is well and favourably known in this country as well as in his own ; and the great and valuable services he has rendered to the elucidation of those sciences, by which expe- Zitions, safe and successful navigation may be most +certainly promoted, are acknowledged by the itighest practical and scientific authorities. The .work before us, although ostensibly designed as an laccompanying complement to his Wind and Current Charts, is, in reality, a record of prolonged and ex- tensive observation, digested with profound philo- --eophical care, and embodying most important -results. It abounds in well-arranged information relative to meteorology and physical geography, :es far as these subjects have hitherto been reduced -10 ascertained proportions. Of the paramount im- vortance which meteorological knowledge must drove in any attempt to either regulate or advance nautical science, Lieutenant Maury is at once an 'eloquent and an earnest expositor, and in forward- ing this object, which he obviously has deeply at heart, he has encountered much labour, expended -much time, and overcome many difficulties. Now, that partial success has dawned upon his exertions, his zeal, instead of flagging, has become more con- icealtrated and more energetic ; and having sue- -reeded in rousing general attention to the subject, le busies himself in directing that attention into .-practically useful channels, He thus, in general -terms, enfor' -- -.4aprq s upon We are now about to turn a new leaf in navigation, on whhieh we may confidently expect to see recorded much information that will tend to lessen the dangers of the sea, -and to shorten the passage of vessels trading upon it. We are about to open, in the volume of Nature, a new chapter, under the head of Marine Meteorology. In it are written 'the laws that govern those agents which " the winds and the sea obey." In the true interpretation of these laws, 'and the correct reading of this chapter, the planter as well as the merchant, the husbandman as well as the anarbier, and States as well as individuals, are concerned. `They have a deep interest in these laws. For with the isygrometrical conditions of the atmosphere, the well-being mf plants and animals is involved. The health of the in- valid is often dependent upon a dry or a damp atmosphere, a cold blast or a warm wind. The atmosphere numns un xnr rivers from the sea, and transports them through the -clouds to their sources among the hills ; and upon the !regularity with which this machine, whose motions, parts and offices we now wish to study, lets down that moisture, and the seasonable supply of rain which it furnishes to each region of country, to every planter, and upon all cul- tivated fields, depend the fruitfulness of this country, the sterility of that. The principal maritime nations, there- fore, have done well by agreeing to unite upon one plan nf observation, and to co-operate with their ships upon the high seas with the view of finding out all that patient .research, systematic, laborious investigation may reveal to us concerning the winds and the waves. Accordingly, -every one who uses the sea is commanded or invited to make certain observations ; or, in other words, to pro- pound certain queries to Nature, and to give us a faithful -statement of the replies she may make. Now, unless we have accurate instruments, instruments that will them- :elves tell the truth, it is evident that we cannot get at "the real meaning of the answer that nature may give us. An incorrect observation is not only useless of itself, but when it passes undetected among others that are correct, it becomes worse than useless ; nay, it is mischievous there, for it vitiates results that are accurate, places before us wrong premises, and thus renders the good of no value In these remarks, Lieutenant Maury indicates -no less conclusively the practical navigator than the experienced meterologist and the anxious philosophical inquirer. Not less profound, and in no degree less practically useful, are the following observations on TIM GENERAL CIRCULATION OF THE ATMOS Several years ago I commenced to gather from old sea journals such information as they might be found to con- tain relative to the winds and currents of the sea, and to tmbody the information so obtained on a series of charts, in such a manner as to show by pictures the prevailing direction of the winds and currents for every month_ and in every part of the ocean. Indeed, the plan of the under- taking was to address the eye, to collect the exp( fence of sults of every navigator, and to present the combined -the whole in such a manner, that each one might, with a -glance, have the benefit of the experience of all who had preceded him in any of the frequented parts of the ocean. This enterprise has been seconded both by the Govern- --Anent and individuals. American shipmasters, generally, %aye come into it with great zeal. They make the observa- - Alms required on every voyage, and send them to me at —Washington. There are some thousand or more ships -voluntarily co-operating with me ; and, as it might be "apposed, from such a number of active and intelligent 4abservers, we are collecting materials of great value. :I)nrimr, the course of these investigations, many interest- ing facts have been developed, amounting, in some cases, 'to actual discoveries of great interest—such as a new -route, which shortens the sailing distance to the equator Brune fifteen or twenty per cent., and, of course, pro- portionately to all ports beyond ; the existence in the North Atlantic of a regular monsoon—and in the North -Pacific, near the west course, of a perpetual south-west trade-wind near the equator—a unique phenomenon ; also the existence, near the same place, of a system of mon- soons. My present purpose, however, is not to speak of -these discoveries, but rather to treat of the insight which -lhese investigations, undertaken on such a large seal( afford as to the general sy tion over the earth.

misem qualified evil. Turn over his seventy volumes, and what can we extract from them that increases our veneration for the Deity, or our respect for man ? .His philosophy is a corn- fabulous exaggerations; and his fables are a string of the grossest indecencies, seasoned up to congenial palates by sarcastic wit. His style is the more dangerous and seduc- tive from being always clear, plausible, and pleasant. He sneers away a moral system in a few pointed words, and shakes a religious creed by a sparkling allegory. He ancts no mysticism, and determines to be understood by all who read him. He has no depth of learning, but an infinity of invention, a quick power of applying what he knows, and an unlimited command of language without effort or study. The article contains a smart, but just, though stringent condemnation of the hollowness of Vol- taire's literary pretension, of his avarice, and of his mean and hypocritical flattery of men of rank and power, and fully dissects the structure of his morbid philosophy and false ethics. Besides the subjects named, the magazine contains able papers on a variety of interesting and popular topics, and well sustains its claims to be looked on as one of the leading literary periodicals of the day.

The Government had thanked Admiral Dundas for his ex- ertions, and it was therefore to be presumed that it was from want of orders that the blockade had not been made more strict.

He hid great doubts as to the necessity of the force. Prompt steps had not been taken-for the aug- mentation of the army. After urging several objections to the bill, he stated that it would not, in his opinion, be expedient to reject the proposed measure. After some remarks from Lord DENMAN and the Duke of ARGYLE in defence of the bill, The Earl of ELLENBOROUGII, though acquiescing in the second reading, objected to several provisions of the bill, in which there was nothing practically to prevent the whole of the Militia being sent abroad to any part. In committee he should propose amendments. The bill was read a second time, and it subsequently passed through committee, all amendments being nega- tived.—The house adjourned at forty minutes past nine. FRIDAY, DEC The MILITIA BILL was real a third time, and passed. A return was moved for by the Bishop of LONDON of burial grounds open during the present year, with the number of interments EXCHEQUER BILLS.—Lord MoNTuAGLu moved for a series of returns connected with the deficiency bills and other arrangements of the public exchequer, and in doing so took occasion to contradict a statement in a morning paper that he had asserted that the security of depositors in the savings banks would be materially affected by the contemplated measure of the government. The house adjourned at half-past five.

NEW MUSIC "Champion of the Seas" Polka. Liverpool :Wray. Mr. Wray's merit, as a composer, is so well appreciated, that it can hardly be necessary to say more in praise of this polka—which is named after the celebrated Black-ball clipper than that it maintains the well-earned reputation of the author. It is not so much the effort of educated skill as the emanation of an innate spirit of music, which Iffords a delight better felt than defined.

He explained that, withon, their free consent, no rg already mans iment could be taken, but that .et invents had volunteers lan were ploy them. In spite of all exertions yet 'nacre, the army was still much below its full establishment, and neither this measure nor the Foreign Enlistment Bill would enable it to dispense with the resources it always drew from the general population of the country. Lord DERBY, concurring entirely in the general objects of the bill, objected to the change it would make in the character of the Militia, which he regarded as essentially a home force. He contended, too, that the bill as framed would enable Her Majesty to accept the services of her itself, and condemned the project of sending them to those garrisons, instead of an efficient reserve of regular troops, which had been the great want of the war. He urged the ?on me m who enlisted for merely home service, and the probable injury such pressure would do to future recruiting, and particu- larly insisted on the hardship it imposed on the medical officers, who were obliged to give np their private practice, without any prospect of pension or half-pay. Turning from the army and the bill immediately before the house, Lord Derby then animadverted upon the inefficient blockade which had been kept up on the Russian ports of the Black and White Seas, from which the Greek mer- chants reaped all the gain and we all the loss. The Government had thanked Admiral Dundas for his ex- Ind it was therefore to be presumed that it was it of orders that the blockade had not been made sore strict. As to the Militia Bill, though he disapproved it, and expected no advantage from it, he was not prepared to propose any amendment upon it. ertions, from war Earl GRAiVXLLE vindicated the Government from blame in not having sent out a larger force at an earlier period to the seat of war, and replied to the objections against the Militia Bill. -Earl GREY was opposed to the bill, which was wrong in principle. He had great doubts as to the necessity of the force. Prompt steps had not been taken for the aug- mentation of the army. After urging several objections to the bill, he stated that it would not, in his opinion, be expedient to reject the proposed measure. After some remarks ihnit Lord DENMAN and the Duke of ARGYLE in defence of the bill, The Earl of ELLENBOROUGII, though acquiescing in the second reading, objected to several provisions of the bill, in which there was nothing practically to prevent the whole of the Militia being sent abroad to any part. In committee he should propose amendments. The bill was read a second time, and it subsequently passed through committee, all amendments being nega- tived.—The house adjourned at forty minutes past nine. FRIDAY. The MILITIA BILL was read a third time, and passed A return was moved for by the Bishop of LONDON of burial grounds open during the present year, with the number of interments. EXCIIEQUER BILLS.—LOrd MONTEAGLE moved for a series of returns connected with the deficiency bills and other arrangements of the public exchequer, and in doing so took occasion to contradict a statement in a morning paper that he had asserted that the security of depositors in the savings banks would be materially affected by the contemplated measure of the government. The house adjourned at half-past five. SATURDAY, DEC. 23 The House sat at a quarter to nine o'clock for the purpose of considering the Enlistment of Foreigners Bill, as amended by the House of Commons.—The lords present were the Lord Chancellor, Earl Granville, and the Bishop of St. Asaph.—The LORD CHANCELLOR having reported to the House that the Enlistment of Foreigners Billbad been brought up from the House of Commons, Earl GRANVILLE moved that the Commons' amendments should be agreed to, and the motion being put in the Their lordships then adjourned daring pleasure. the House reasembled at two o'clock, when the only nt were those acting as her Majesty's Commis- e Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Argyll, and peers pres Lord Canning. ROTA' ASSENT.—The royal assent was given by com- mission to the Militia Bill and the Enlistment of Foreigners Bill. The House adjourned until Tuesday, January 23. HOUSE OF COMMONS. -TUESDAY, DEC. 19, Mr. W. BROWN presented a petition from the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, stating that they addressed a letter on the 11th of November, 1852, to the President of the Board of Trade in favour of a decimal currency, recom- mending the pound for the unit, and praying for its imme- diate adoption. . _ COAL MINES.—In answer to a question, Mr. Fnzuor said that a bill for the prevention of accidents in coal mines was in preparation, and would be introduced soon after the Christmas holidays. PUBLIC LIBRARIES.—Mr. EWA-HT obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend and extend an act for enabling town councils to establish libraries and museums freely open to the public. Mr. V. SCULLY obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the Spirits (Ireland) Act of last session. CHURCH PROPERTY.—The Marquis of BLANDFORD obtained leave to bring in a bill to make better provision for the management of episcopal and capitular estates. THE MILITIA BILL was read a third time and passed, after a determined negative from Colonel SIBTIIORP. FOREIGN ENLISTMENT BILL. Lord J. RUSSELL, in moving the second reading, de- fended the bill on precedents during the reigns of Queens Elizabeth and Anne, King William the Third, and during the rule of Cromwell, by Marlborough and Wellington, and whenever, in fact, England had been engaged in a continental war. If we attempt to supply reinforcements solely from native sources, the risk must be incurred in sending out recruits imperfectly trained; and he referred to the precepts and example of the Duke of Wellington in support of the conclusion that there was no national degradation attending the employment of foreigners under such contingencies. Sir E. B. LYTTON moved that the bill be read that day six months. He denounced it as a " crawling propo- sition," chilling the national spirit by the introduction of mercenary troops ; including the refugee members of dis- tressed nationalities, who, having been trained in war and collected into a focus, would be only disbanded for revolution. Recruits were pouring in faster than they could be enrolled, and supplies of men could be obtained in the home market—the cheapest and the best. The very introduction of the bill argued lathes in the Govern- ment, who had received abundant warnings of the magni- tude of the war, and might have long since developed the military resources of the country sufficiently to dispense with the beggarly aid contributed by a few thousand mis- cellaneous hirelings. A lengthened discussion ensued, in the course of which Lord STANLEY observed, that from this measure not being alluded to in the royal speech, it looked as if it was in- tended to smuggle it through parliament before the country had time to examine it. He complained of the mystery which enveloped the measure—no information being given of to the sources whence those foresgn soldiers were to he obtained. What, he asked, should we think of the Em- peror of Russia if he were advertising for soldiers in every European market. He contended that no case of emergency had been shown that would override the evils attending such a measure as this, to which he objected as unnecessary, unpatriotic. and retrogressive. Lord PALMERSTON defended the bill, and said he was surprised at the course pursued by the party opposite in regard to this question. They admitted the importance of the object of the war, its justice and necessity, and the Government had been reproached by the organs of the party with not carrying on the war with energy and vigour ; and when they now ask to be allowed to em- ploy an instrument which they believe would be con- ducive to the prosecution of the war with success,- they were met with disquisitions upon the constitution and the reproduction of antiquated arguments against a practice which had been adopted by this and by almost every other Government, Mr. DISRAELI a further discuss tjority of 39.
