LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 3. THERE is scarcely an office in our Administration which a man of imagination and adventurous spirit might not glow at the thought of holding under so singular a conjuncture of affairs as the present. What a season for the Foreign Secretary—the na tional honour and safety being placed mainly io his keeping, while slurs is the only constitutionalGloveni ment in Europe! What a season for the Lord Chancellor, when radical law reform is inevitable! What a season fur the home Minister, with our pro - pertly, and our demand for Education, and our bee% nig Church, and our new militia; and for the Chancellor of the Exchequer with our new guld and our Free Trade—our dimi nishing numbers and increasing wealth ! and fur our naval and military ministers, with so much to be done, and little time to do it in. It might rouse any man's spirit to have such work and re sponsibility offered him as belongs to any of these offices ; but perhaps there is one office more imposing, if not more enviable, than any of them—that of the Colonial Secretary. Perhaps there is no function of them all that will so thoroughly put • man to the proof as this. We do not mean that it will prove whether one man, temporarily occupying an office in London, can properly rule forty-three colonies. That is an impossibility on the face of it. What we shall see is, whether the Minister understands the nature of colonisation under the changes of our time, and has any idea what to do, er to attempt. Rave we paid attention enough to a fact inciden tally mentioned by President Flumintx in his recent Message—that the United States cannot possess any colonies? It is obvious, the PRESIDENT tells us, that the attempt to throw open the eastern parts of Asia " could be made by no power to so great advantage " as by the United States, Whose constitutional sys " tem excludes every idea of distant colonial depen " denies." What a vast change in human affairs is quietly intimated in these few words—taken, as they must be, io connexion with the exploring ten dencies and active habits of the Amerisan people. Seeing their squadron about to depart for Japan, with this declaration fresh in all minds, and observ ing, at the same time, a Russian expedition setting forth to wateh the American, we are led irresistibiy to think of what colonisation meant once, and what it means now ; and what it is, therefore, that our Colonial Minister must attend to. The very word is derived from the idea of tillage. When the earth was obscurely known, and very par tially peopled, the idea of colonisation might well be that of tillage; and inevitable was the advance from tillage to commerce; and, as a consequence of com merce, came, after lapse of ages, that change which is taking place now, and on the management of which human happiness in every region of the globe henceforth depends. The plain but pregnant truth —too little attended to—is that the mouths of all known large rivers are taken possession of; and thus colonisation, according to the old ideas of it, is at an end. It needs no showing that colonies must be seated either on islands or at the mouths of large rivers. Islands are soon exhaustible, except in cases of very peculiar production ; and navigable rivers an inestimable. Putting Africa aside, on account of its unmanageable climate, the Columbia river was the last to be appropriated; and hence the bitterness of the Oregon dispute. Look at the large rivers in all the outlying countries of the world, and what do we see? Every where, in new regions, we find one of two things at the mouth of a great river—a Russian fort, or an American factory. Neither of these powers can colonise, according to our ideas of colonisation. The Russian method of government is not ono which can be used on a large scale beyond her own boundaries. She can manage a fort on the Red River, and a fur-trading settlement in a high latitude, and a fortified village on • convenient bay on the eastern shore of the Caspian but au organised community far from home could not continue Russian. And the Americans must annex, if they do anything of the kind at all. They must grant a representation, and an equal share in the Government, instead of treating new lands as dependencies ; and for this purpose, their new lands must be near home. But, while desiring the consolidation of the West under their own institutions, they are all the more eager to form commercial connexions elsewhere, because they can do nothing else. Hence it is that in all new places where we do not light upon the Rus sians, we find the Americans. They were trading with the whole eastern coast of China while we were restricted to Canton. They saw the value of Singa pore, as the key to the whole commerce of the East ern seas, while we thought of nothing there beyond pearl-Aiello. Our explorers, penetrating to the heart of Africa from the north or west, meet, in the very middle of the continent, Americans selling their wares, which they have somehow brought up from the south. So be it. Their enterprise and industry deserve commercial success ; and that success is, di rectly or indirectly, an advantage to everybody. If it were not so, we might leave it to Russia to look after the affair. The most despotic of governments, acting as police towards the most democratic of na tions, may save us from all trouble of the sort, espe cially as we know that the United States can have no colonies, and cannot supersede our commerce but by our own faults. We need not trouble ourselves to be jealous, as Russia is, or seems to be. But America is jealous too. Wo would not be lieve it on any other authority than her own : but the New York Herold furnishes as with a curious state ment of the suspicions entertained at Washington with regard to the designs of France and England about colonising the western world. The French are accused of a deep and persevering scheme to steal a march upon the Americans in Mexico—to settle a state there, and " annex " it to France. It is difficult to believe this, seeing neither reason nor evidence to confirm the story ; and perceiving that we are charged with plots which are abundantly ab surd. Not only are we supposed to covet Cuba, but we are declared to be in a state of public disgrace about our designs on Hayti !—an ignominy of which we were not aware. "We have exposed," says the New York Herald, "the secret diplomacy which " has been at work, through the agents of France " and of Great Britain, to procure a footing on the " island for their respective governments." But then, again, this acoonilioo of ours, France, is jealous in her turn—jealous o nus. There is hardly a more carious experience for an Englishman than living in Cairo or Alexandria for a month or two, bearing what the French and British say of each other there,—the French accusing us of wanting, not only to secure the passage to India, but to appropriate Egypt bodily—Thebes, Pyramids, Red Sea, and all; while the English point out that the French consider the whole of the north of Africa as their own, as they have appropriated • part. They think in Egypt one more large ri‘er is to be had yet anti vehement are the disputes on the spot as to who shall have it. All these incidents show that instead of colonising in the old ways men are spreading themselves over the earth in a different manner and for new pur poseslt is not the land that is in question in our y,imit the people. Russia dreads the settlement or intercourse of republicans so near the boundaries of her despotism • and she wants only land enough for a fort here and there to keep the extremely modern Americans in check. They, again, want only land enough for factories, and they are alous only in a westerly direction , _ though a undantly enter prising and secre t, between the Capes of Hope and Horn. The French have France to attend to first, and North Africa next. Spain and Portugal seem to be doing their best to lose their few colonies. Other countries seem t o r on trading very quietly. High over all, as to colon ia l p osse ssion, is Great Bn tain, too high for jealousy, too high for fear of anything but her own folly, too high not to owe an example to the world of how to over-rase the changes of that world. Mistress of the seas, with her forty-thros colonies scattered over the globe, as pledges of her power and her quality, has she or has she not a Minister who can duly serve her by fitly serving them' This is the question which a man C..! adven turous mint may burn to answer by his deeds. Such an one will see and remember that the secret of American power and success is, unquestionably, in a republican respect for men as men (leaving out sow the consideration of complexion) : and the reason of our ill-success for a century past with our colonies, lies in our contempt for distant The broadest hint ever it fellow-subjects. _ given to us, or any people, on this head was given us by the Americans themselves, some eighty years ago. Have we the lesson still to learn? or may we hope for a Colonial Minister who knows that it will not do now to force convicts upon good people be cause they are colonial, —to play at foot-ball with constitutions because they are colonial,—to neglect remonstrances, and break promises, and delay busi ness, and utter insults, because they are all about colonial matters ? If we have a Minister who can see this he can see more. Ho may perhaps see what is the right time and method for withdrawing the hand of authority from any colony who can govern itself better than he can govern it. lie will see that every thing really good may be obtained from a satisfied, a good-humoured colony, while nothing but mischief can be reaped from a discontented one. He will see that the time for sowing the earth with war fare, as the Greeks did, is over; that the time for sowing the earth with metropolitan subjection, as the Romans did, is over; that the time for sowing the earth with crime, as we ourselves have done, is over; and that the time is come for aiding our de pendencies to establish themselves u communities, related to ourselves and to each other by whatever is held in common by all—mind, manners, language, and . political principles—and independent in those particulars in which each is the best judge of its own interests. It is enough to inspire any man to think that it may be in his power, while smiling at the jealousies of all nations, to raise the dignity and in fluence of our own by making Canada communica tive, and Jamaica courteous, and the Cape sympa thising, and Ceylon grateful, and Van Dieman's Lind cordial, and New Zealand satisfied, and Hong Kong healthful and helpful, and all happy, and our best allies, as the best friends of parents are their own grown-up children—and the better, the older they grow. As in our own island, the Sovereign has ceased to think about the proprietorship of t he soil in the relation between the government and the people, so it is not the territory which is now important to the nation at home, but the colonists; the fellowship and no longer the property. To see this, and to work out the view in act is a high task for the most aspiring statesman. THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 3, 1853.

BERLIN, Dec. 30. By the convention for the pacification of Schleswig- Holstein, the crown of Denmark engaged itself to the German commissioners to pension the invalid and discharged officers of the Schleswig-Holstein army. ' Instead of fulfilling this engagement, however, the Danish government now flatly repudiates the claim, asserting that no favour can be shown to participators in a revolutionary war. Now this reproach equally touches the German states and princes who took part in that war; wherefore the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, having secured the support Bavaria and some other confederates, has presented to the Frankfort Diet, on behalf of the said offieers, a memorial, which was discussed last Thursday. The Cologne Gazelle entertains hopes that the Diet will unanimously accede to the motion made, namely, that measures be taken for inducing Denmark to fulfil its engagements, expressly entered I into with the Germanic Confederation. We should be vastly surprised, however, if the Diet took a step so little in keeping with its habitual conduct. The Prussian government has addressed a cir cular to its diplomatic agents, notifying that it will adhere firmly to the basis of its commercial policy, which will not be altered by the negociations for a treaty of commerce with Austria. The Prussian government has, however, evidently no principle of commercial policy at all; nor can the questions of mere form, for which it first stickled, and afterwards quibbled away, be called a " basis." This want of a fixed principle of political economy has made it so afraid of facing the tariff question, that while it seemed ready to stake the whole existence of the Zoll verein on mere diplomatic hitches, it conceded the main question to the southern protectionists, and was willing to re-iinpoie on itself, for a further term of twelve years, a system of protective duties, every at tempt to reduce which must be henceforth as hope less as it has hitherto proved fruitless is face of the veto which any member of the union can put in. There is now every appearance that Prussia will re-enter the Zollverein, with the acces sion of the Steurvereiti, under the old protection tariff, no mitigation of which can be expected unless determined on by the coalitionists at Austria's command. Austria will, therefore, in fact, direct the commercial policy of the Zollverein, including Prussia, and it will direct it in such manner that the incorporation of the Zollverein into a general Austro-Gertuanic union shall, at no distant period, become inevitable. The annual account of the Paris savings bank was published last night, the system of accounts there acted upon permitting the balance to be struck to the end of the year, on the 31st day of December. This system is for the future to be adopted in all the country savings banks. The Paris establishment received in 1852, Ist, the sum of 33,703,578 f. 19c. from 265,263 depositors, of whom 40,599 were new. 2ndly, 424,085 E 55e. from 908 transfers of receipts from the savings' banks in the departments. And 3rdly, 178,463 f. 78c. in ar rears of Remo belonging i to depositors and remain ders of conversion. It, n addition, capitalised for depositors interest amounting to 1,579,608 E 92c. Per contra, it reimbursed, Ist, a sum of 19,650,368 E 33c. in 70,744 payments, of which 10,180 were to close accounts; 2ndly, 395,707 f. 52c. in transfers to the establishments in the depart ments ; and, 3rdly, 3,821,2511. in purchasing 170,485 f. of Itente for 6,002 depositors. On the 31st of December, 1852, it owed the sum of 51,816,037 E 34c. to 194.954 depositors. The repayments in 1851 and in 1852 were nearly the same, being :9,048,957f. 1 le. in the former, and 19,650,368 f. 33c. in the latter. But the deposits present a great difference, being:in 1851, 25,303,434 E, and in 1852, 33,703,575 f., or 8,398,144 E more. The number of deposits, which in 1851 amounted to 205,751, was in 1852, 265,263, or 59,512 more ; and the number of accounts opened, which in 1851 had been 26,516, amounted in 1852 to 40,699, or 14,083 more. Finally, the number of depositors at the end of the year was 194,954, in place of 175,997, being an increase of 18,937. It has been remarked, however, upon a close inspection of the accourts, that the sums drawn out within the last two montils of the year have considerably exceeded the deposits. This fact is attributed to the prevalent mania for speculation which has reached the very Pooh gimes. There is one striking exception to the almost uni versal holiday-making to-day. The clerks in the post-office and the letter-carriers are doing double duty. The post-office has undertaken to deliver visiting cards for one sous each in Paris, and for two sons in any part of France. The cards are required to be posted in open envelopes, which will be sealed before delivery. Immense numbers have already taken advantage of this new regulation. In Paris it is absolutely necessary to pay a new year's visit to every acquaintance that you do not wish to drop. The art of visiting is now " made easy," but whether the delivery of cards with a post-office stamp and a coarse wafer will be accepted comme faut remains to be seen. From Berlin, the correspondent of the Cologne Gazette writes, on the 28th ult., that a despatch was sent on the previous evening to Count Hatzfeldt, at Paris, directing him to present his credentials to Louis Napoleon, Emperor, as soon as an imperial ambas sador to the court of Berlin should be appointed. The Russian note was said also to be on its way to Paris. The recognitions would not be collective. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, Dic. 30. Madame Kossuth, the venerable mother of the Hungarian patriot, was buried last night in the Pro testant cemetery. The funeral was appointed to. take place at 2 o'clock, and a number of persons, chiefly refugees, assembled in front of the house in which she died. About half-past 2 o'clock it was re ported in the crowd that the police had threatened the sisters of Kossuth with expulsion from Belgium, in the event of the funeral being made a " demoa stration." As a matter of prudence, the great majo, rity of the persous assembled withdrew, severely censuring the conduct of the police. The modest funeral procession left the residence of the deceased about half-past five ; on reaching the cemetery the usual prayers were recited by the officiating Protest ant clergyman, a German of the Lutheran creed. This day, the police authorities deny that they ad dressed any menace of the kind above mentioned to Kossuth's surviving relatives. Be that as it may, it is certain that the appointed hour for the funeral was changed, and that that change was not the re sult of a wish expressed on the part of Madame Kosauth's daughters. The affair has excited much unpleasant feeling, and it is to be hoped that the police authorities will free themselves from the ob loquy at present cast on them. ITALY. PIEDMONT. A private letter from Turin, dated the 28th ult., says :—" The ministers have prepared a new evil Marriages Bill, which they will present at the com mencement of the next session, after creating eight or ten senators. The muse of the recent withdrawal of a similar measure from the legislature after it had been passed in the Chamber of Deputies, was the effect produced by the publication of the Pope's letter to King Victor Emanuel. This effect was so great that the senators who are most nearly connected with the government, by position and opinion, absented themselves from the division. Amongst such were Count Pollone, director-general of ports, and an intimate friend of C oun t Cavour ; M. Denim, who since his return from Paris has filled several important posts ; M. Plana, M. Marioni, and other great functionaries." FRANCE. PARIS, SUND tT EVINING. A great step is made to-day in the formation of the imperial household. The Bishop of Nancy is appointed first almoner to the Emperor. It was stated some time since that the old office of grand almoner would not be re vived. Marshal Count Valliant is created Grand Marshal of the Palace. Colonel Beville is First Prefect of the Palace. The Duke de Basun° has the title of Grand Chamberlain, and Count Baciocchi that of First Chamberlain. Marshal St. Arnaud is nominated GrandlEcuyer, and Colonel Fleury, First Ecuycr. The poet of Grand Vensur, which it was apposed would be revived for li Colonel Edgar Ney, is given to no less a personage than Marshal Magnet', Colonel Ney being only " first veneur." The Duke do Cambaeres is ap pointed master of the ceremonies. What salaries are to be attached to all these fine places does not at present appear. M. Bore is appointed treasurer-general of the The only recorded speech of the Emperor at the reception of yesterday is the following short one, delivered to the Pope's nuncio: I hope, with the Divine protection, to be able to develops the prosperity of France, and to assure the peace of Europe. There was a soirae at the Tuileries yesterday even ing, which was attended by the Ministers, the corps dip omatique, the members of the Senate and Corps Legislatif, and several functionaries. A number of ladies were present. By a decree puclished to-day, the Emperor, pur suant to the powers conferred upon him by the recent senatus consultum, has promulgated a very large number of regulations relating to the Senate, the Corps Legislatif, and the Council of State. The decree contains ninety-two articles, but the greater part of them are merely repetitions of existing rules, or relate to matters of mere form. PARIS, SATURDAY. It is many years since New-Year's-Day was cele brated with so much outward show of universal gaiety as it has been to-day. The receptions at the Tuileries were so numerous, that from an early , hour every quarter of the city was thronged with func tionaries and military officers hastening in their newest uniforms, some in carriages, but most of them on foot, to fall into line and enter the Tuileries at one or other of the numerous entrances assigned to them. The officers in the streets were so numerous that a stranger would certainly have taken them for privates, and supposed that the common soldiers in France wore gold epaulette. There being a total cessation from business and labour of every kind, the avenues to the Tuileries and Louvre were crowded with spectators curious to see the com pany arrive. The receptions began at eleven o'clock, and last upwards of three hours. The Cardinals, Admirals, and Marshals of France were the first ad mitted to congratulate the Emperor upon the new year. Half-an-hour afterwards they were followed by the Corps Diplomatique accredited to the Em peror, the Senate, the Corps Legislatif, the Council of State, the Court of Caseation, the Court of Ac counts, the Superior Council of Public Instruction, the members of the Institute, the Imperial Court of Paris, the Archbishop of Paris, and his clergy. By a solitary exception to the regulations applicable to the rest of the company, the Corps Diplomatique assembled in the saloon next the throne room previous to passing before the Em peror. The Russian, Austrian, and Prussian mini sters were not present, their credentials, in spite of all anticipations to the contrary, not having been yet presented. The Pope's nuncio, and the Portuguese, Swedish, and Grecian ambassadors presented letters from their repective Sovereigns only yesterday. The above receptions were followed by those of the Pre fect of the Seine, the Prefect of Police, the council of the prefecture, the municipal and departmental commission, the Mayors and assistant-Mayors of Paris, the Sub-prefects of Seeaux and Saint Denis, the municipal bodies of the bodies's, the Rector and "corps academique n de la Seine, the tribunal of the first instance of the Seine, the Tribunal of Commerce of Paris, the Juges de Paix of Paris, the Camber of Commerce of Paris, the Consistory o the Reformed Church of Paris, the Consistory of the confession of Augsbonrg, the Central Jewish Con sistory, the members of the imperial court of bridges and mines, the functionaries and professors of the Polytechnic School, the College of France, the Pro fessors at the Museum of Natural History, the Im perial Academy of Medecine, the Manager and Pro fessors of the Imperial Conservatory of Arts and Trades. The Council of Advocates of the Court of Caseation, the Council of Advocates of the Imperial Court, the Chamber of Notories of Paris, the Cham ber of Attorneys of Appeal, the Syndieal Chamber of the Agens de Change, the Chamber of Auctioneers, the Syntlical Chamber of Commercial Brokers, the Central and Imperial Society of Agriculture and the Imperial Scheol of Beaux Arts. When these had passed in order, the military were received. They had been admitted separately at the Louvre, and walked in procession through the long picture gallery to the throne-room in the Tuileries. Their number was so considerable, that more than an hour was consumed while they passed before the Emperor. Several old officers of the empire brought up the rear of the procession. After the army came the staff of the navy and naval officers of rank ; and the cere mony concluded with the reception of the secretaries general and directors of the various ministries. A very large proportion of the above visitors wore the various new xstumes lately devised for so many civic functionaries, and, as they left the Tuileries in all directions, their embroidery mingled with the uniforms of the officers and the robes of the magis tracy, gave a lively and uncommon appearance to the neighbourhood. Large numbers of the officers betook themselves to the restaurants in the Petah' Royal, where they had previously ordered clejeutOes los fourchette. Although the day has been damp and misty, everybody seems to have turned out, an d the streets are disagreeably crowded. The bourse, public offices, and private banking houses are closed. TUSCANY. A Florence letter of the 22nd, in the Mediterraneo of Genoa, states that after the failure of the adjudi cation of one million of renk 3 per cent., a London house had offered the Tuscan government to take all the 3 millions rente at 05 per cent., which is the go vernment price, but that the latter has refused, as it only wants 20 millions of francs for the present. It is rumoured at Florence that a company of bankers has been formed for the purpose of taking the whole offered by the government at 65. ROME, DEC. 24. The oondition of Edward Murray, in his new pri son at Palliano, may be inferred from the following letter, sent by him to his mother, and duly received, alter having been submitted to the inspection of the prison authorities : Dear Mother,—You will already have beard where I now am. I intreat you not to afflict yourself, but to take courage, as I do, although confined in this place of pain and grief. The only comfort that I can feel is my suffer ing, will be to hear that you support this misfortune with courage, and that you are well in health. If you take it to heart you will only shorten your owe existence, which you may imagine would be:a terrible blow to me. Hays scare, therefore. Recollect that I can write to you every fort night, and you can answer me also, but beware not . to ' speak to me of politica, or of my trial, otherwise your letters Iwould not reach me, as they are subj ected to the most rigo rous inspection. Having mentioned thee much, I warmly implore you to find mesas of sending me as soon as possible d mattress and two peirof sheets (as here only a thin pelisses anti a coverlet are furnished to the prisoners), and also a lied• money for daily nourishment, as I cannot absolutely exist, particularly in my present state of health, on the prison allowance, which is • bacon soup, two rolls, and balf.a-pint of Win,. Do not cease to stimulate those wham duty it is to amei2orate, in some degree, my condition in this place, which is at present not too happy. I have nothing more to add at peisent,bot embracing you tenderly, I implore your matirnal beifediction, and am, EDWARD MURRAY. - . ... ..... From the Camle of Palliano, 15th Dec., 1852. P.S.—ln order that the present letter may reach you speedily and safely. I address it to the consulate. Embrace Francesco and his family. Rome is filling fast with etrenge., hastening to ' witness the Christmas ceremonies. The Pope offi ciates this evening at the so-called midnight U 1489 at Santa Maria Maggiore. The official journal states that the populatiod Of Rome hae increased this year by 3,446 souls, being now 175,838. SWITZERLAND. The Grand Council of the Venal,' has completed the revision of the constitution ; the difference of the work as compared with the last constitution is so small as to be almost imperceptible. However, it is well understood that the intention of the late Grand Council, in subjecting the constitution to revision, was to show the reactionary party that the people were still for liberal laws, and that a constituent council, elected anew by universal suffrage, would not go back to old exclusiveness. At Basle au unsuccessful attempt has been made to light the town with gas obtained from the carbo nisation of wood. The federal ride contest will take place this year at Lucerne on the 4th July. The Mint Committee have given notice that they will pro in the Federal Council the coinage of two miln one-rappen pieces. TURKEY. A telegraphic despatch from Trieste, epitomising Constantinople news to the 19th ult., appears in the German papers, to the effect that on the 15th the Porte had notified to the foreign minister, at Constanti nople, its intention of blockading Montenegro, and also of sending against it a powerful military force. The .sure despatch states that a flotilla, with troops and ammunion, had sailed for Castel-Nuovo and Klech, intending to land in Albaina. It is not easy to say how the Sultan's forces can blockade Monte negro, seeing that the port of the district is under the sovereignty of Austria, which, little as it may be inclined to the Montenegrins, will not lend any assistance to her Mahomedan neighbour. The Bank of Constantinople had entirely sus pended its operations, and the difference between the value of Xaisin and foreign paper had increased. A commission of ten members, including several European merchants, and having Kyani Pacha for its president, has been named to examine the ac counts of the bank. Letters from Tauris, of Nov. 10, state that the cholera was then raging violently in Persia. The number of deaths per day at Tauris was not lees than 1,000. SURRENDER OF A MURDERER.—At Stalybridge, near Manchester, a man named Robert Thornley, a muffin and crumpet dealer, has delivered himself up to the police as having been implicated in a murder which took place in 1847. He states that the murder was that of James Brooks, of Godley, near Hyde. At that time, he says, he had an Improper intimacy with Brooks's wife, and that she asked him if he could not get some kind of herbs which would be a slow poison. He told her he did not know of anything that would act as a slow poison except laudanum, which would be a slow poison if given in small doses. That she requested him to got some laudanum ; and that he pur chased some at Oldham, and gave it to her. That she gave it to her husband, but he threw it up, and it did him no harm. That ho then purchased her threepennyworth of arsenic from Mr. Sutcliffe, druggist, Stalybridge, which he gave her, and that she told him she bad made some puddings ; and that she had put the arsenic into one one of them, and given it to her husband. That the husband died at the time, and an inquest was held over him, but nothing was found out, and he was interred at Mottram Church. That the husband did not eat all the pudding ; that what he left rose thrown out, and that a quantity of hens belonging to a man named Stott were poisoned by eating this pudding. About a week after the death of the husband, he met the wife at Chapel Hill, Dukinfield, when he asked her if she were not afraid, and she answered, " No, only through Btott's hens being poisoned," and that he replied that he had been very uneasy ever since, and that he married the woman throe months afterwards. It appears that, at the time of the alleged murder, a man of , the name of Imes Brooks did die very suddenly, and an inquest was held before Mr. Hudson, coroner, and the jury decided that he died from the effects of a hurt in the head which he had received when working as a collier.

TUE NEW INDIAN MAIL CONTRACT.—Among the passengers who went out in the Oriental Company's steamer, the Haddington,• which left Southampton on Saturday fur the Mediterr..nean, was Lieut. Whipple, R.N., who is gone out as Admiralty agent to take charge of the first mail between Marseilles and Malta, under the new Indian mail contract. THE AUSTRALIAN MAIL PACKETS.—The Austra lian, Captain Hoseason, now nearly • month overdue with the mails from Australia, is daily expected at Plymouth. From the delays which she bad sustained before arrival out, and whilst in Australia, she was not expected to arrive until early in January. The Adelaide, Captain Jackson, was not ready ( or the trial cruise on Saturday, as was anticipated. It was expected at Devonport on Sunday morning that she would be taken out for trial on the after noon of that day, and if found to answer, that she would sail with the mails, dc., in the evening, or on Mo n d a y morning. The principal cause of the delay has been the preparation and the fitment of the new rudder, in the place of the newly-invented one, which was found so inefficient as to be useleu. The repairs have been all effected by the artisans of the Royal Devonport Dockyard, and ander the superintendence of Capt. J. Henderson, R.N., the newly appointed marine superintendent of the Royal Australian Steam Company.

It was no more than was expected by every person who had witnessed its frowning aspect. Fortd.uately it fell before the arrival of the mail train, which is due at that placo about two hears after the time at which the accident occurred. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA.

Sut,—,The truth of your remarks in this day's paper on the danger of allowing British Ministers at foreign courts, who happen to be personally or politi cally hostile to the home Cabinet, to remain at their posts, is more completely confirmed by the conduct of our Envoy Extraordinary at Vienna than the public seem to be aware of. Although the political opinions of a mere .fanatico per la musien may seem to be of little consequence, yet those of Lord West moreland have so far influenced his conduct as to be of the utmost detriment to the power and influence of the British name in Austria. His decided sym pathy with the despotic court to which he is ac credited, has shown itself in the bland coolness with which ho has received every application for assistance from helpless and insulted English subjects whom it is his special mission to protect; ' while his enmity to the principles of the Liberal Cabi net from which he received his appointment has been evinced in a very marked manner. A specimen of his gratitude, and of his notion of how a liberal mo narchy ought to be represented at the court of a scarcely limited despotism will alone prove how un fitted Lord Westmoreland is for his position. An extreme intimacy existed between his lordship and the late Prince Schwarzenburg, England's bit terest enemy ; and so eminently the enemy of England's once Foreign Secretary, that when the news reached Vienna of Lord Palmerston's dismissal from the councils of Lord John Russell's government the Prince gave a grand reception in honour of the glorious event ! No English private gentleman with a grain of propriety or prudence in his character would have appeared, even upon the most pressing invitation, at a reunion thus ostentatiously given on such an occasion. The British Envoy Extraordinary, however—who ought in his public capacity to have represented and enforced Lord Palinerston's policy, and who, in his private capacity, owed to Lord Pal merston not only his own place, but that of his son (just before promoted)—not only assisted at the Schwarzenburg rejoicing, but gave an entertainment in return. Lord Westmoreland's regard for the prince was so intense that even the gra‘c could not quench it, for, as you pointed out at the time, his lordship thought It not undignified or improper to leave his post at Vienna—that of a Protestant ambas sador—in order to conduct in person a mass (said to be of his own composing) for the repose of Prince Schwarsenburg's soul in a Catholic church at Prague. Judging from this dangerous intimacy and from the acts and omissions of Lord Westmoreland during his short career in Vienna, it is nut at all a strai ne d inference to surmise that he has derived his rule for conducting the affairs of his mission less from his own government than from that of Austria. He has bowed to nearly every outrage against the liberty of the British subject which has been perpe trated in the Austrian dominions. Since his lord ship's musical abilities have been transferred from Berlin to Vienna more than a dozen cases of wrong perpetrated by the Austrian government upon British subjects have remained unrequited. A nobleman in the diplomatic service of this country must nevertheless not always be judged of by his politics, by his notorious friendships, or by his private tastes and foibles. An envoy might pos sibly serve his Queen and country faithfully and well, and yet be hand and glove with his Queen and country's deadliest enemy (especially . if he belong to the Machiavellian school) ; or rejoice over the fall of his patron, or pass the greater part of his time in bowing and fiddling. All these peculiarities might, by a clever scheming diplomatist, be indulged in, and still not prevent him from producing good diplomatic results. Nowhere in the world is the scriptural axiom, " by their works shall ye know them," more thoroughly relied on than in England. We always judge men by results. Let then our new Foreign Secretary—hardly re garding the charges of neglect and incapacity which have been brought against the Envoy in Austria— judge of him by this test. Let hin t see how th e British name stands at the Court of Vienna. Let him find out what degree of respect is paid to the personal liberty of British subjects in Austria. Let him investigate these important points—no very dif ficult task—and I have no doubt, as an impartial looker on, that the end will be a change in our diplo matic representative in Vienna.—Yours, Birmingham, Jan. 1, 1853. I. K. EXHIBITION OF POULTRY.—The entries which have already been made to the Poultry Exhibition at the Portman-square Bazaar next week are stated to amount to nearly 2,000 pens of specimens. The show of poultry will be "divided into 61 classes, consisting of Spanish fowls, Cochin China fowls (cinnamon, buff, brown and partridge feathered, brown or white), Dorking fowls (single combed, double or rose combed or white) Malay fowls, game fowl (white and piles, black-breasted, and other reds, blacks and brassy-winged, except greys, duckwings, and other greys and blues), gold-pencilled Hantburgh specimens, golden spaagled Hamburgh, silver-spangled Hainburgh, Poland fowl (black with white crests, golden with ruffs or beards, golden without ruffs or beards, silver with and without ruffs or beards), bantams and any other distant breeds, geese and ganders, ducks (Aylesbury drakes and ducks, Rouen drakes and ducks, rituscovy drakes and ducks), turkeys and guinea fowl. The pigeon classes are thus di vidcd—Pouters and croppers, carriers, dragons, almond tumblers, short-faced mottles ;short-faced bald heads, shorts faced beards, short-faced tumblers, Jacobines, owls, nuns, (orbits, fantails, bathes, magpies, small pouters, good feathered flying bald heads, good feathered flying beards, good feathered flying mottles, good feathered flying tams biers and foreign birds. There are to be nine classes el rabbits, viz., long ears, black and white, yellow and white, tortoiseshell, blue and white, grey and white, best self colour and foreign rabbits.—The prizes to be awarded con sist of medals, and sums of money. The object of the club is to improve tie various breeds of poultry, &c., and to render this branch of English farm-yard produce a more important and valuable feature than it has hitherto been in this country. The regulations of the club state " that high condition, beauty of plumage, and purity of race, will be preferred above mere weight, which latter quality is to be considered as a point of merit in those breeds only that are remarkable for their size, as the Spanish, Dorking, Malay, and Cochin China." TUB STORK AND THE TZLEGRAIII.—The recent storm appears has done great injury to the telegraph, some hundreds of the supporting posts in different parts of the country having been blown down, and the communica tion temporarily stopped. Mt:IIDM AT CARDIFF.—A shocking murder has been committed at this part. Asa policeman was going his rounds he heard a cry of " Murder," and discovered a man named Harrington weltering in his blood near the dock. Ito had been conveyed to the infirmary, when it was found that he had been stabbed in the abdomen and adjacent' parts, the bowels having been penetrated. The man died next morning, and made a dying statement to the effect that the stabs had been inflicted by two Greek sailors. About the time the man was picked up two sailors, a Swede and an Irishman, named Gabriel Gilaorn and Richard Keenan, went on board their vessel, the Madomae, of Boston, and must have passed the spot where the deceased was attacked. These men have been apprehended, and have undergone an examination before the magistrates,who have remanded thorn for the present. The coroner's in quest has also been opened, and stands adjourned fur a week. /Fix court. WINDSR, J AN. 1 .

The programme of the theatrical entertainments to be played before her Majesty and the royal family at Windsor Castle, under the direction of Mr. Charles Kean, ha, been arranged. The performances, which will take place, as usual, in the Ruben' Ita rut, are fix.hl for a suc cession of five Fridays, commencing on the ith inst. The selection comprises examples of the Shaksperian dragnet and the modern light comedy, and gives free and liberal scope to the actor's art in representing the passions and emotions of tragedy, as well as that breadth of humour, and even drollery, for which the English stage is conspicuous. Thus, Pn Friday next, in " Henry IV., Part the Second," Mr. helps as the King, Mr. Wigan as the Prince, Mr. Bartley as Sir John Falstai, and Mrs. Daly as Lame Quickly, aided by Harley and Meadows, will represent almost every chase and colour of which the Shaksperiau drama is sus ceptible. Oa Friday, the 14th inst., "The Captain of the Watch," in which Mr. Charles Mathews; and " The Windmill," in which Mr. irA Mrs. Keeley, Mr. Msedows, and Mn. Winstanley will appear, afford a specimen of the comedietta and farce, in the one of which the quick and vivacious acting of the liveliest of our light comedians, and in the other our most humorous actor, will give proof of their abilities. It will be observed that on Friday, the 21st inst., the very great compliment of a "first night" of a "new and en gine' drama," in the presence of royalty, will be paid to Mr. Douglas Jerrold. This, it is said, is a consequence of the enjoyment afforded the royal audience by the same author's " Prisoner of War," which constituted a portioa of the court theatricals last year. The success of the new piece will be powerfully tilled by Mr. and Mrs. Walter Lacy, Mr. Harley, Mr. Wright, Mr. James Vining, Mr. Ryder, and Mr. Charles Kean. " Paul Pry," on Friday, the 28th inst., will give ample room and verge enough for the drollery of Mr. Wright, in all its fullness. The farce of The Lucky Friday" on this evening will also strongly bring out the careful quaintness of Mr. Alfred Wigan's style. " Macbeth" on the last evening, Friday, the 4th of February, will fitly close the series. Mrs. Charles Kean will play the heroine. The magnificent manner in which this tragedy has been "mounted" for thi , oeca,ion, the correctness of the costumes and decorations, the foul cinema of Shaksperian feeling and reality that have been achieved by the study and managerial skill of Mr. Kean, will, no doubt, render the intended production of this piece at the Princess's Theatre an equal triumph with that of the " King John" brought out on the same superb scale last season. APPOINTMENTS. The Earl of Aberdeen has appointed to be his Private Secretaries, the lion. A. Gordon and Mr. J. R Cole (of the Treuury) —The Lord Chancellor has appointed Mr. W. C. S.

PARLIAMENTARY PARTIES.—The government of Lord Aberdeen will have a good majority in the House of Lords, including the whole bench of bishop.,, without, we believe, a single exception. In the House of Commons, also, the adhesions are coming in, day by day, from the " other side." Between 40 and .50 of the dispersed Derby ices, representing town constituencies, and some from the counties toe, have already fallen away from an allegiance that has brought no benefit to the " interests " which they fondly expected to serve. Having stood together so long as party honour required the sacrifice, they now feel them- selves at liberty to judge of men and measures, untram melled by fanciful and unsubstantial party obligatiosi• — • Observer. .
