Why amid this be time mdeidevons dletimetime THE City is in a ferment. For weeks poet • panic hae been raging from Mineing-lane to Card-court. The mere of Westanineter-hall and the "agnates of the Exchange are at loggerheads; and this very day a meeting is comma& dour merchant princes, with the autocrat of European capitalists at their head, to maim a solemn pretest aphid a mond decision of the Court of Exchequer Chamber. The question raised in the DOW 62110N0 OM of" lErsosronn e. though of course perplexed as much as pos sible by the lawyers, is in itself by no mean emmikated. It all terns on the legal effect of that very fangbar sammatile instrument com monly known in the City as a " delivery crier." Substantially, the problem is thie—whettser the senignment of • " delivery order," coupled with the posermion of the goods to which it relate* to a dealer who has hest Ate pur chased or advanced merry on them, does cc deem not vest in hint the property in these goads, although the party weigoing the order end *den or felling the goods be. fraudulently ob tained portion of them from the original owner. In other words, is the Matfirie holder, far value, of a "delivery order," bound to make out a good title in the party from whom he takes it; ore it enough for seelhekier teehew,as in the ease of a bank note, a bell of exchange, or a bill of lading, that he himself has imeilfrie given value for it P That is the real ques tion railed by "LIM:WORD r. Mew." The City lays that according to seeresntile practise the latter of these two alternatives is the true doctrine : the Coact of Exchequer Chamber holds the contrary. Is the Court of Exchequer Chamber right in point of law P That is one question—a question which can only be determined by en appeal to the Hams of Loeda. Amarehig that, in strict law, the Court of Ex chequer Chamber is right, is the law itself right or wrong P That is another questlem—a question to be mainly decided by INalitheudiews of moreendle ems venienee.

The natural results have esseml—monits of whisk the litigation now raging over domino of the Royal British Beak is only ores %Maw oat of a thoneand. Lord Judea EZ4lOlr? BMWS has rightly elemasterised that litigation as a mass " of such esnlists and oempileadsms as, to a civilised people, are nationelly dieuroditalle, and in a well governed country ought not to be possible." They would not be possible except in a lawyor-ridden country. They always will be not only male, but unavoidable, in • country when the men of Urines@ do not actively exert themselves to nem mercantile legislation from the exclaim despotism of the men of law. Let as hope that the nearehants of Landon are at length beginning to feel the neosesity of thus exerting themselves. Why should they not have an organisa tion for facilitating the work P Why should this great emporium of the world's mecelisndise be still without its Chamber of Commerce! Why should the energy which has been called forth to pro test against an isolated decision evaporate in a mere act of momentary remonstrance ? Let immediate steps be taken, by all means, for recti fying the law as laid down by the Exchequer Cham ber, but let the meeting of to-day look further and aim higher : the important thing is, not to encounter a legal blunder with a commercial protest, bat to or an institution by which men of bunion, may permanently set on the law-mskers and the law ad ministrators so as to render such blunders leis possi ble in the future. To neutralise the diet of such a decision as that of "RINGSFOID 0. Mum" is no doubt a legitimate object for a great City gathering; but it would be • far more valuable result of the present agitation if it led to some plan for the immediate establishment of a Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce.

Ker Berber, Fag., M.P., will give a lecture cm the " Hems of Commons," this evening, at Blandford. Numerous arrests took place in Madrid last night and in the course of yesterday. A new decree of the civil governor of the pro vine of Barcelona prohibits the wearing of sword sticks and other arms not destined for domestic uses, or for hunting or shooting. Pocket knives must not exceed a certain dimension; poignard knives of every dimension are prohibited, as well u pistols other than bolster pistols, also guns of a calibre fora bullet of more than an ounce, with a barrel of a Castilian yard in length. All these arms are to be deposited in a place to be appointed by the armourers, and cannot be sold except for exporta tion. Armourers mast further furnish to the autho rities a report of the arms which they have in their warehouses or shops ; but they cannot sell any to pri vate individuals without the previous permission of the civil governor. Anne that may be introduced into the province by merchants are to be seques trated and deposited in some secure place until cir cumstances permit their remission to the proprietors. Smuggling of arms will be punished as an attempt against the public order. Analogous measures have just been adopted by the authorities of the province of Saragossa. The Pays says :—" We learn from a private letter that the Catinat was in the Macao Roads on Dec. 2. At that date news had arrived that the court of Pekin had sentenced the Viceroy Ych to degradation for having ill-defended the town of Canton against the English attack. This fact seems to prove that the Chinese government will not yield unless a demonstration be made against the heart of the empire." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (room ma owe PARIS, SVsDAT Enstso. At seven yesterday evening the prison authorities went to Verger's cell to read to him the sentence of death. He heard it calmly, but immediately the reading was finished he exclaimed, " Go, now, gen tlemen, and execute justice. You also will be con demned. Co; I dismiss and despise you." The go vernor of the prison then gave orders that Vow should be clothed in a strait-waistcoat (camisole de force) which, it is stated, is the costume invariably imposed upon criminals under sentence of death. He submitted quietly, simply observing " I know that Ino longer belong to myself." Ile passed the night tranquilly, and ate his breakfast with a good appetite. On being asked whether he had any wish to express, he said that he desired to appeal to the Court of Cessation, and also to present a petition to the Emperor for pardon. "But," he said, " How shall I write the petition with this strait waistcoat, which prevents sue from using my holder He was told that he might dictate what he wished, and that his strait-waistcoat should ,be taken off when he wanted to sign. He thanked the governor for this explanation. He was then asked whether he would wish to see • priest, and he said " I accept his services with plea sure." The Abbe Nottelet was then introduced, and Verger threw himself into his arms and embraced him. I cannot help observing that if the medical theory of homicidal monomania is to be admitted at all, few stronger cues of it have ever been known than that of Verger. The Moraleur says:—" Some foreign journals an nounce that the government is preparing legislative measures for an alimentation of the civil list. This statement is entirely false, and those who endeavour to circulate it are doubtless not aware that the civil list has been voted for the whole duration of the present reign." The Prem., in reproducing an announcement in the Muniteur that it is to be prosecuted for publish ing the letter mistakenly attributed to the Emperor's secretary, simply repeats as evidence of good faith, its statement of yesterday, that the letter was ex tracted from a Swiss paper. _ _ E.

In publishing this contradiction of a letter the authenticity of which I doubted yesterday, the Press. observes that it merely reproduced what it found in the Swiss journals,whieh it now appears were deceived. The sudden rise during the last half hour of the Bourse yesterday took the sellers of prime by sur prise, and prices opened to-day with much firmness. There was a slight reaction for a moment, it being announced to-day that the directors of the Bank had received no direct communication relative to the project of increasing the capital stock of that esta blishment, but as it was still thought that the aug mentation was still on the folds, the Rente speedily recovered. The closing prices were 68.23 and 68.30, there being a rise of be. for cash and a fall of Se. for amount. Mobilicr fell If. Railways were generally higher, and rose from If. to 10E, but Grand Central fell 3f. to 4f., it being considered that the delay of five years, which appears to have been consented to in its bargain with the Orleans company, is un favourable to the shareholders. The -Voniteer de rArmee gives a positive contra diction to a statement mode by several journals pub lished in different seaports, that it is in contempla tion to attach to the Imperial Guards a battalion of marines, to be stationed in Paris.

The Prussian official journal of the pith contains no order for the mobilisation of the army, and it is therefore clear that the King of Prussia recognises the negotiations, since he has not acted up to his threat of proceeding to hostile measures unless the prisoner were enlarged by January lath. ' • A curious letter from London, dated the 13th, in the Erna: Zeitumg, of Berlin, amens that the Prus sian Minister at the Court of Queen Victoria has lately been instructed to communicate to our own government several despatches from the Cabinet of Berlin, upon the subject of the course which had been pursued, with regard to the dispute between Prussia and Switzerland, by Mr. George Gordon, the British Minister at Berne. These Berlin de spatches, if we may believe the correspondent of the Berlin newspaper, have been described to him by somebody connected with the Foreign-office here as " rather rough, but very impressive indeed ;" and it is further stated by the same informant, that they have bad the effect of inducing the British government to disavow earnestly the conduct of its representative at Berne. One soma non brought against Mr. George Gordon, says the same letter, is that he is in the habit of keeping company with the red republicans (ffechrodles), and ' that he frequents meetings of Mr. James Fay and his friends, whose remarks upon political affairs he has even heard with approbation. This, of course, was what the King of - Prussia could not allow, and upon his remonstrating with the government of Great Britain, Mr. George Gordon was "obliged rather unceremoniously to contradict himself, and has, for some time past, been the minister in Swit zerland only in name, the most important matters of business belonging to the English legation in Swit zerland being conducted exclusively by the amber sailor at Pans, Lord Cowley." A despatch from Berlin of Saturday's date says, that the Prussian government has already expressed to the powers its disposition to consent to diplomatic negotiations relative to the question of its sovereignty over Neufchatel : the place and the time at which the negotiations are to be opened are still uncertain. The Russian Grand Duke Constantine has arrived at Berlin. ITALY. PIEDMONT. In the sitting of the 13th of the Chamber of De puties at Turin, M. Lanza, Minister of Public In struction, opened the discussion on the bill for the re-organisation of the department of public instruc tion. lie observed that some hostility had been manifested to it, because of certain articles relating to private instruction ; but those articles were only retained provisionally ; a special bill on private in struction would be brought forward, and it would then be time to consider whether they ought to admit the principle of liberty of instruction. M. Guillet opposed the bill, as calculated indefinitely to adjourn the question of free instruction, a question which the government sought to avoid, because they were apprehensive of the jealousy of the clergy. M. Tola ale° declared himself for freedom of instruction; and opposed this measure, as calculated to create a monopoly, by which public instruction was to be en tirely modelled after the views of the Cabinet, and inspired by the Minister. The discussion was ad journed. A letter from Nice of the 13th says " The Grand Duke Michael arrived here yesterday, going at once to the residence of the Empress. The King of Sardinia is to arrive on the 22nd." 111111113 T. Tea Winos . , • BM pais IN !111 gaN wl e . . W=l Mi GL A . de. Wm. (Wm. limAtign. and r : and lama UNITED STATES. ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. The royal mail steam-ship Europa, Captain J. Leitch, arrived in the Mersey this day with the usual mails from the United States and British North America. She left New York on the 7th inst., at 3.15 p.m., and has had moderate weather. She has brought, besides the mails, 46 puasengers, 251;140 dols. for Havre, and 2001. for Liverpool. She has been detained above three hours at the bar for water. In the Senate, on the 6th of January, Mr. Boyce gave notice of an amendment on the new Tariff Bill. The amendment provides that all articles now sub• ject to 20 per cent. duty .hall continuo to pay that rate, and that tea and coffee shall be included an the same schedule. Havana data, 30th of December, report sugars unchanged in price, and business more active since the opening of the new year. At New York stocks were lower and tmnistetiotui limited. Cotton market was reported firm at advancing prices. Breadstuff" were in good demand at prices favour ing the purchasers. Provisions unchanged in value. Freights without any material alteration. The New York papers publish long accounts of slave insurrections in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia. We have already published the details of the murder of the Joyce family, near Louisville, Kentucky, by four negroes. 'the murderers were examined at Louisville, and two of them made con fessions. On the examination Mr. Joyce, a brother of the Joyce that was killed, was present and gave evidence, and attempted to rescue the prisoners and have them burnt. As he stepped from the stand he said very loudly, " I want all who are my friends to come on and take these negroes and burn them." Almost instantaneously every man in the room was on his feet ; from the passage between the benches on the cast side the sounds of "burn them" re sounded, and some of them occupying the front tier of benches tried to jump over the railing to get hold of the negroes. The law-abiding citizens were far in the preponderance, and the tumult was quelled. The prisoners were all committed to answer any charge the grand jury may bring against them. The Canton (Trigg co., Ky,) .Ilespa telt publishes the following_ extracts from a letter to a citizen of that place. The editor of the Deapateli nays that the writer is known in that community as a gentle man of veracity, in whose statements all confidence may be placed Tuesday morning went to Dover, and snared there about 2 o'clock. The people had hung four litmus at 11 o'clock that morning and two more then in town to be hung. I got to the place of execution in time to sec the last one go off. Of the six that were hung duce bad been preachem. They were all proved to be ringleaders. I learned that the men at the forge were at work whipping the truth out of their negroes, so I rode out there that night and was up with them all night. I never had such feelings in my life. I new a bet of Degrees that had been whipped, and was told what they all had stated, and then I heard the balance examined—some taking Ave and six hundred lashes before they would tell the tats—ba t when they did tell it, it was the came that all the mimes had told. Some told the whole dory without taking • lick. Thom that were examined were not permitted to see those that were not ; they were kept entirely separate and a guard over each. One Of the negr oes a t th e f orge died from whippWg that night, emend hems after the operation. The abstance of the testimony there was, that Ch r i s t mas eve they were all to rise.

They were then to meet th e mlll negroes at the forks of the road at PidOt's, near Isms Creek, end were to make a joint charge opal Dover.

LEDRU ROLLIN .AND THE ELECTOIS OF The National of Brussels publishes an address from It.

At this rate how many republicans would have been forsworn who have nevertheless remained its most implacable enemies? Let no hold fast by the truth: without being • casuist, or without saying with Machiavel, that all means arc good, even dishonour, to regain liberty, it in allowable to discriminate between unimportant and insignificant formalities, imposed under all governments and an open, barefaecd noiriation, which is buena' and apoetacy. The publi, conscience, a good judge in this mat ter, does not deceive itself. It knows that, whether with or without the stamped paper, the right of locomotion is net leas inherent, and alto that, with or without the formalities of registering, the right to vote remains not less inalienable. But what the public mind feels above all is, that of all me. thods of recognising the Empire, that which consiato in sub mitting so longs time without an attempt, without a move ment, without even • despairing effort, is the moot degrading attitude in the eye of history." THE LOSS OF THE TYNE. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have much satisfaction in making known the handeomo and gene. roes manner in which Mr. Edouani Pecker, Consul-General of his Mikjesty the King of the Belgians at Rio Janeiro, has conferred a donation of 6001. on llenry• Bath, chief boatman in the coat iruard service, and in charge of the St. Athens station, for his good and brave conduct in proceeding to the assistance of the royal mail steamer Tyne. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have also had much satis faction in promoting Henry Bath to be a chief c.Moer in the carat-guard service, as a mark of their appreciation of his excellent conduct. Admiralty, Jan. 17. Comparatively little of the bulky portion of the cargo of the mad steamer Tyne, stranded on the Isle of Purbeck, and which cargo consists of cochineal and tapioca, will be saved undamaged. Aa fast as it is taken out, it is despatched to Southampton in small sloops. A large proportion of dm I bake of the above-named articles are completely soaked through. Some idea of the forte of the turf at the wreck may be formed from the feet that on Friday night a life-boat nil driven by what Malted a roller, or wave of the burr, against the stranded Moamar with hone - mac force, and one of the men of the boat carne in contact with the spawn of the Tyne. and nearly had his back broken. lie wee Mg to Soutbarnp , ton in a tug, to bo planed in the South Hants InftrtuarLa that town. lie was in a very precarious oinditi.m.
