A Mr. John Alexander has accepted the invitation of some of the ultra-torics of Carlow, and offers him self as their champion in opposition to Mr. Sadleir in that borough. That the tortes are serious in their opposition would appear from the selection they have made, Mr. Alexander enjoying some share of popularity as a good protestant landlord, and being, therefore, a man who might be able to decoy a few liberal votes; but he has not the slightest chance against Mr. Sadleir, who, notwithranding the com bined efforts of Writs and disappointed tenant leaguers, will have the overwhelming support of the liberal party, including that of the leading Roman catholic clergy. Apropos of the Roman catholic priests it is im possible not to perceive a certain amount of improve ment in the political conduct of that body for a short time past. Dr. M'Hale has been altogether silent of late. Archbishop Cullen not only eschews politics himself, but it is well known that he discourages all political agitation among his priests; and although he may not be able to controul such erratic and un attached persons as Dr. Cahill, he has been. I believe, successful in the exercise of this wholesome influence ; and finally, of the newly appointed Archbishop, who has succeeded Dr. Cullen in the Roman catholic primacy, we find the following satisfactory testimony in one of the most decidedly protestant Journals in Ireland—the Newry Telegraph. That journal in its Impression of this morning says: it is but mere justice to the Most Rev. Dr. Dizoe to state that, since his arrival in Armagh, his advice and es• ample have been in every way worthy of the episcopal station. Instead of stepping out of the sanctuary to ps troaise secular or political agitations, he confines himself to the discharge of his ecelesiasticil duties, sad, in his discourses, earnestly inculcates good feeling and Christian neighbourism. His practical charities are in keeping with his moral admonitions. He has recently ordered to be dis tributed amongst the poor a quantity of blankets, irrespec tively of the creed of the recipients. The following is a semi-official programme of the manner in which the departure of the Earl and Countess of Eglintoa from Dublin is to be con ducted : His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant and the Countess of Zglinton, accompanied by their suite, will leave the Vice regal Lodge at eleven o'clock on Wednesday =or/Up!, estorted by a squadron of the King's Dragoon Gouda, and a rapid pace to Eases-bridge. Here they will rjeZd at eel by an additional escort, conusting of a squadron of the 4th Dragoon Guards and a squadron of the Ilth Homan, sad a cavalry band, and will proceed at a foot prmi throv. Parliament -street, Dime-street. Noma- Meet, and Duster -street, to Westland-row. Their Eacel leads will be received at the station of the Dublin and Klaestewa Railway by a Guard of Honour, the military satheritia, and the directors of the railway, and will pro ceed by special train to Kingstown. There they will be waived by a squadron of cavalry, a guard of honour, and a cavalry bead, and the passage will be lined with troupe from the ea Tway to the place of embarkation, where an klutz, bead will be stationed. Then their Excellencies, after biddies/ farewell to their friends, will embark on Used • special steamer for Holyhead. Greet efforts have been made through the newer'. Ms to give as much eclat as possible to the undress levee and reception at which Lord Eglinton takes leave of the citizens of Dublin this morning; and among the rest the Freeman's Juuraal adds a few kind words to soothe his Excellency's grief, which it is said he really feels on leaving Ireland. es It is understood that the arrival of the Earl of St. Germans will take place about the middle of the month; but I believe the exact day is not yet certain. Her Majesty has been pleased to give an order in Dublin to have a set of state council harness made here to be exhibited at the Great Exhibition of this year. The Lord Chancellor hu appointed Francis Black burne Martlei, Esq., to the office of Chief Clerk for the Registrars office, Court of Chancery, in the place of Jobe Kelly, Esq., who has resigned. This was one of the snug arrangements made by the writ.. at 1 the eleventh hour. --- ----- ---•• The Waterford Citroniek, one of the oldest and most respectable liberal journals in the south of Ireland, thus refers to the Irish appointments under the new government : The coalition with Lord John Russell—however much we e May noaally be prejudiced agai ns t th e no bl e l or d—i s m'Lath important at the present juncture—f or it a t once s about that unity of action which the liberal party Ought ever to strive to attain. But not merely do we eon r the appointment of the higher departments of a first der character—but the minor offices are most judiciously diatributed We base Betas! Oiborne, as Secretary fur the Admiralty —Jobs Sadleir, a Lord of the Treasury—Mr. Newell, the respected representative of Limerick, Clerk of the Ordnance—Sir John Young, Irish Secretary—and Mr. Keogh, Solicitor•Oeneral for Ireland. These names alone would inspire confidence, so far as Ireland is concerned. It may be difficult for people on this side of the Channel to g et rid of the feeling with wnich they have latterly viewed Lord John Itueoleli— 'jut we must now bear in mind that he is subordinate to the Earl of Aber deen, who, unquestionably, as representing the opinions of Sir Robert Peel, has a fair claim on our consideration. But Ire are at ao loss as to what is likely to be the future pokey of the cabinet—it is embraced in the word progress. Ilse necessities of the times are recognised—the claims of airy settee will be fairly adj us t e d— cer t a i n ly not i n t h e !wit of class, or for the promotion o f p ersona l en d s . With the greatest array of administrative talent that was aver before combined in one government—we have further the mess comprising it pledged, as in the case of Sir James Graham, Mr. Cantwell, Sir William hlulessrorth, and, in fact, the whole of them, more or less, to extensive reforms —not merely in our financial system—but to that more pro minent question, parliamentary reform. They must do some thing to prove to the country that • coalition ministry, u this is termed, ought not to be decried without giving it, at least, as fair a trial as Lord Derby's government had. In the Consolidated Chamber, esterday, the fol lowing case came before Justice Jackson, the sitting Judge: Jamas Biacie v. vim "F Joiramat." Maws- .—ACTION FOR LIBEL. Mr. }l'Dosongh, Q.C. (with whom wee Sir Colman O'Loghlint, Bart., Q. C.), moved the court that the defen dants should have tbree weeks to plead. The action was one of libel, end the affidavit of the defendants stated that it was arceesary for the purposes of the defence that pleas of justification should be filed, and that inquiries in London were deemed neceuary, and that same could not be ob tained in due time to plead, according to the rules of the court. Judgment had been marked by the plaintiff pend ing the motion. Mr. Lynch, Q.C. (with Mr. 0'1)Am:oil), resided the mo tion, on the ground that the plaintiff's proceeding was regular. His Lordship said that as the proceedings of the plaintiff were regular be should have the costs of the motion, but as judgment had been marked pending the motion, the judg ment should be vacated without emu. The Underwriters' Association of Dublin have pre sented a purse of twenty guineas, with a complimen tary address, to the captain of the Windsor steamer, for the gallant and successful efforts made by him to save his •essel in the tempest on the awning of the 24th ult. PUBLIC DINNER AT LIVERPOOL TO THE AMERICAN AtINISIER. LIVERPOOL, TVISDAT NIGHT. This evening a public dinner was given at the Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool, by the members of the American Chamber of Commerce of this town, to the Hon. J. It. Ingersoll, the American minister at the Court of St. James's. The guests numbered shout one hundred, consisting of the leading merchants of the town. Eras EVANS, Elq., President of the Chamber, presided. The chairman was supported on his right by the lion. J. E. Ingersoll, the Earl of M.rby, Col. De Riney, &c. &c., and on his left by the Earl of Sefton, Lord Lieutenant of the County, W. Brown, Esq., M.P., G. Arnaud, Esq., Col lector of Customs, &c., &C. Mr. E•LCOLNdON OCCS?ied the vice chair, supported oa his right by S. Holm., Esq., the mayor of Liverpool, and on his lett by J. Cheetham, Esq., M.P., J. S. Mansfield, Esq., stipendiary magistrate, T. L. Critenden, Esq., the American Consul at Liverpool, and other gentlemen. The toast of the evening was, of course, the health of Mr. Ingersoll, to which that gentleman replied. He said a public compliment in England was always welcome to his country. It was especially so in Liverpool, because it sounded like home, and came nearer the heart of an Ame rican. He accepted it with the utmost gratitude ; he re ceived it on behalf of his country ; and he returned it cor dially on behalf of his country and of his very humble self. (Cheers.) There, in the midst of Liverpool, their huts were the American Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool, their guests di.tinguished noblemen, officers, military and civil, and other enlightened gentlemen, all representing that great commercial principle which grew out of the in ters:oohs between two great nations. (Loud cheers.) The speaker then referred to the great importance of Liverpool es a seaport, and to its social position. Here she stood, as it were, on the very edge of English grouted, ready to send out her freights with every sun, and receive ap propriate returns. But Liverpool was not merely a place from which commerce deported and returned. Her inhabitants with great midi sty culled her the second port in the country, but she had done much to hes:ailed the first. It was at present the largest fur exporting commerce. But independently of all this, Liverpool did herself great injus tice if she did not pride herself on her internal arrange menu. " Your architectuv," said the speaker, "is as chaste as your liberality is charitable, and your docks are among the most magnificent works that can be conceived. The stranger coming from my native land makes first ac quaintance here, and before be passes on to those green fields and pastures which he will find in the interior, he sees here all that Is wise and all that is charit ibis, and then he goes forward, and having men all that is Mused and dear in this land of yours, be come through Liverpool again, and carries with him back those impressions. whisk are likely to be of the kindest description, to his own plegie." (Hear, hear.) The speaker, in continsatiem, prosseded to show how deeply the United States was Waled to England for many acts of kindness and preludes, and dwelt for some time upon the interests whisk the two counties had in common. He illualtneni the carrying out of a mutual feeling to serve each other en the part of the United States and Ragland, by pointing out the wanner in which two of her Majesty's ships saved an American brig from savages on the coast of Africa in Jane last, and on the other hand by referring to the cir cumstances under which the American steam-ship Pacific had recently saved the crew of the James Stevens, of Glas gow. Friendship between the two countries was of the greatest importance. Englishmen were capitalists, said Ame ricans were people of enterprise. English capital sought in vestment on the other side cf the Atlantic, and American enterprise sought it here, and the result was that it was mutually advantageous. After speaking for some time longer upon the reasons fur harmony between the two ' countries, he remarked that he knew of no issue now pend ing between the two countries that ought not to lead to the most pacific and the most harmonious results. (Hear, hear, and applause.) He expressed his hope and belief that in the settlement of the fisheries question, a commercial treaty I would be founded upon it that would be mutually advan tageous to both countries, and to our colonies, which were the most interested. (Loud cheers.) His Excellency con cluded by saying that he hoped the day would arrive when every Englishman, and every American, would go hand in hand togeth. r, and rejoice only in the universal friendship that existed between every inhabitant of both countries.

There was a decided feeling of.depression in the English stock market this afternoon, prices dropping a quarter per cent., and the heaviness extended to every other department of the house. Sales have been induced by a revival of the rumour that the Bank directors, foreseeing an increase of specul a ti on , as well as considerable shipments of specie for grain, contemplatisan early advance in the rate of discount. • At pressed, howeier, such a step is generally regarded as h.ghly . improbable, there being no influences now in operation sufficiently serious to warrant the direc tors in giving so decided a blow to the confidence of the commercial community as would be thereby in volved. There are many persons who think the Bank ought never to have reduced its rate below 21 per eent.—a rate certainly low enough for all legiti mate trading purposes, but now that a lower rate has been so long established, and at a period when trade shows such a healthful activity, any interfer ence with the even current of mercantile affairs is greatly to be deprecated as being of a very injurious tendency. Up to to-day money has been obtainable in Lombard-street below the Bank's minimum rate, and it is now abundant out of doors at 2 per cent. It is consequently tobe inferred that the adoption of the step referred to would be rather dictated by precau tionary views than warranted by any present in creased demand for accommodation without ; and, even viewed in this light, there appears to be no real occasion for it. There is no inordinate speculation going on in any department of business. The movements in grain and iron are the chief feature, but are by no means calculated to excite uneasiness, being generally well founded. The other speculation going on, including the gold mining ex citement, is restricted to too limited a circle to have any . important effect, being a mere bagatelle in com parison with the vast mass ,of the national transac tions. As regards any downward movement in the Bank's stock of bullion, it is difficult to see how any feeling of uneasiness can be founded upon it, seeing that this item is still considerably above twenty mil lions sterling. We have at the same time large amounts of gold coming forward immediately from Australia, witlt, the certainty of an immense future supply. Such a simple circumstance as the arrival of the Australian steamer, now daily looked for, would probably have a considerable effect in removing unfavourable anticipations. Again it must be remem bered that the dividends on Consols and other stocks fall due to-morrow, and become payable to the public on Saturday, when, in round numbers six millions and three quarters sterling will be rele ased, as shown below, viz.: Half-yearly Dividend. Three per Cent. Consols 0,700,000 New Fire per Cent. Annuities lO,OOO Three per Cent.

Console opened at yesterday's rate of 1001 to t ex div. for the opening of the 18th January, but al though not sold lower than 1001 during the official hours, the after-hours quotation was only 1001 to 1. There was a renewal of operations by the govern ment broker, who took a . parcel of Reduced Threes at 1014. The official business report is annexed : Three per Cent.

The directors of the English, Scottish, and Aus tralian Chartered Bank have received their charter of incorporation, and intimate their intention of im mediately commencing business. The government is showing itself laudably anxious to encourage sound enterprise by the grant of charters. Mr. William C. Bennett, civil engineer, and Capt. Fred. A. Ellis, R.N., left Southampton yesterday in the Medway steamer, for New Granada, in the ser vice of the Magdalena Steam Navigation Company, to take measures for carrying out the objects of that company. The General Screw Steam Shipping Company have advertised the departure of their first steamer for Australia, viz., the Harbinger, which will leave Southampton for Port Phillip and Sydney on 10th Feb. This vessel is to be followed by the new screw steamers Jason, Golden Fleece, and Crcosus, each of 2,600 tons burden. It is thus evident that our steam connexion with Australia will soon be more efficient and regular. The shipments of gold to St. Petersburg continue. An eminent firm connected with the Russian trade despatched this afternoon a further sum of 80,00 W. in bar gold and half imperials, via Hamburg. The Bank of kaigland is understood to have still on hand a large sum in Russian gold coin. The Haddington has carried out 17,7351., nearly all in gold, for Con stantinople. At the meeting of the London Dock Company held to-day, a dividend of 2/. 10s. for the half-year was declared, leaving a balance in favour of the company of 160,0731. The business of the docks was stated to be gradually extending. A full report will be found in another column. Australian Agricultural shares opened steadily to day, but receded to 290 to 295. South Australian Land improved to 74 in the morning, fell back to 66, but closed better again at 69 to 71. Although the prices realised for these undertakings are not quite so high, the supply being . temporarily greater, yet a good enquiry continues to ex ist for them. Excluding Australian Bank transactions, which arc elsewhere recorded, we have to report dealings as follows :—Bank of British North America, 611 ex div.; London Joint Stock Bank, 21; London and Westminster Back, 351; Oriental Bank Corporation, 40; Crystal Palace, 5; Southamp ton Docks, 414 ; General Steam Navigation, 29, 4; Peninsular and Oriental Steam, 894, 904 ' • Beziers and Graissessa c R a il way s h ares c l osed Ito 4, prem. ; Royal Swedish Railway, to 4 dis.; French South Eastern f to 1 prem. ; Financial Union Bank of Paris, par to prem.; Zealand Railway, to 4 prem.; Orleans and Epernay Railway, par to prem.; Great Western and City Junction Railway, par to prem. ; City Railway Terminus, dis. to p; London Bank of A us t ra li a and India, par to m.; Bank of Asia, Z to b dig. The New Orleans Erening Picayune reports the arrival of the brig Tehuantepec from Vera Cruz, with dates to the sth December, and contains the follow ing paragraph:— It appears that a proposition has been made to the Mexi can government by individuals to meke the railroad over the Isthmus of Tehuantepec for the sum of 10,000,000 dole.. payable to them in Mexican bonds, which are afterwards to be settled by the proceeds of the road. The government looks favourably on this proposition, and has positively re jected every other hitherto made. On the Isthmus all was quiet, The meaning of this statement is not very clear, bnt by some parties it is considered that an arrange ment of this nature would probably be accepted by the Mexican government. It is to be hoped Mr. Falconnet will duly attend to the interests of the British bondholders should any sualiamoupooMNlF contemplated. The chief operations in the market for foreign ex changes to-day were in Vienna and Trieste, at the reduced rates of 10.50 to 10.53. Paris was a shade higher, bring generally done at 23 for short, at which bills against gold shipments remained over. Hamburg was somewhat lower at 13.3* to 31, but with limited transactions. Amsterdam was more offered than last pest. Italian and Spanish places presented no alteration. Oporto was in demand at 531, and Lisbon at a3l to The prices negotiated are annexed : Tame.

Bd. in New Three per Cent. Steck, and 61. 13s. in Deferred Stock. After making; allowance for the arbitrary deduction- of 25 per cent. which has hitherto been enforced, we find that the old Three per Cent. Stock holders are not injuriously affected by the decree; the holders of Four per Cent. Stock gain slightly; whilst the Five per Cent. Stock holders, to whom the same measure of injustice is meted, are very heavy sufferers. It is difficult to imagine how the Portuguese go- vernment could have been so ill-advised as to issue this arbitrary decree, without consulting the creditors. Had the plea of inability to meet present demands been duly proffered, and the con sent of the bondholders asked to some new settle ment of the debt, it is not impossible such might have been obtained, perhaps on the basis of giving the creditors some special security, but by attempting to force the obnoxious decree down the throats of its creditors, the government cannot fail to raise a storm of well-deserved opposition. Already there is some very proper talk of the new bonds being excluded from our Etock Exchange. The subjoined statement of the branches of revenue, which are to be appro priated to the payment of the dividends, on the new basis, from the let January to the 30th June, 1853, may be interesting : FOR TRY INTERNAL DEBT.
