CHRIBTXAS-DAY IN THE Psieoics.—Notwith daadissgg the alteration is the law of imprisonment for debt, amebic of debtors speed their Christmas in custody, either in the metropolitan prisms or in the spooling-bums.. The diminution of the number of the Maar oersted, as eompared with the mnster-calla of the army of =wipe in peat years is, however, highly gratifying, there sow seareely scone where there were formerly h In Whiteerme-rtreet Prison the number of prier/sera is 90. Many of those in custody ate detained on county court warrants for debts of trivill amount& In aoooedasos with time-honoured custom, they received yesterday • substantial repast of rout beef and other Christ masters, which is principally provided by the benevolence of the Lord Mayor. Horsamongerlan• Gaol contains is its debtors department only 27 prisoners. This was fortunate, as the:, is no fund whatever for those who may bare to pear the Christmas within the massive wells of that peat prioon and if he be not able to buy hie Mistime dinner, he must fast. In the criminal department the semen tainp no solace whatever to the guilty. The Queen's Bench Primo is no longer occupied by debtors. It is now a place of confinement for offenders who are undergoing the sentences of courts-martial. PROM LAST EMIT'S GAZETTE.

The following is an extract from a letter addressed to • friend in this country by the Rev. C. H. Roe, D.D., formerly of Birmingham, but now of Belvidere, Minas: The Federal Government are now farming oat to loyal Union men the abandoned plantations down the Mississippi, each side, from Memphis to New Orleacs, to raise cotton for England, France, and our home consumption, to pro fitably employ the negro, and niers revue* for &driving our war expenses. The az perimect so far is a perfect success, though as farmers did not get to work till April, two months too late, and the lands were vary poorly tilled, yet Mersa were realised, and large amoentsof mosey Yea who moat there poor, and poor swiss, have realised theassada.

The expense for cultivating 100 sons to rotten sad its product is as follows, and 1 fix the outlay in large round mumban above the average : Wages, genngrn ment tax, food for melee and Degrees and esU, cotter and getting it to market, all told, $5,800. The product of the 100 acres is one bale to as acre. Louriana land often produces two bales to the acre, of 400 To. each ; say Gas balc-100 bales + 400 Th -= 40,0001 h. Cotton now sells in New York market for 90 cents a ponod ; my It will bring next fall oril ( 50 cents a polio& 40,000% + 55. oa. = $20 , 000, deduct 900 and you have net $14,200, as the product of 10 acres and twelve all told, nearly $150,000 for 1,000 acres fur one year! Now, I don't say this will last, wt more than two man, or about a year, after the war oleos=. The alaveholders get rich on cotton at 6 to 10 mots a pound, with their wuteful habits and the drawback of slaves to work the plantations. Then what will white men, with their thrifty habits, realise ? lam fully t ersiuded thin in • sound speculation. The farmer who undertakes 100 acres will do well to have 4001. or 5001. in hand to begin with. Theo be i can purr-ham the mules, kod for man and beast, sod needed implements. For the government will hand over unto you all that is left on the estate—houses, gins, ploughs, mules, &a. ; sod yet on many desirable plantations all these have been burned up, or carried`away, and nothing left bat the lands and pogrom You can buy cheap for cash ; capital will greatly aid in profitably work lag the machine. You are to retain two dollars for each hued to pay doctors. Schools and preachers are to be maintained; but I have put that dow a in the 5,800 dole. Oa preseher and me teacher can meet the wants of about to. plantations of 1,000 Amu each, and be well employed and well paid. The great problem that bar long purled our ataillaies. what shall we do with the negro ? in answering itself. The burro will take care of himself and family and white teten too, and supply our home markets and your poor ire toiling and now hungry unemployed multitudes. They will get education sod become fres, religious, and valuable. Would not Jo sephi Sto ham refereed to live to re th is day! Providence is leading the bondsmen up out of Egypt. These valuable cotton !sods are the Goshen in which our honed Abraham Lincoln in about to plant them, and there they will grow and flourish and power, after all their sorrows, and do a good work towards finish * thin war, and largely contribute to lighten the war taxes on the net of the nation. Our preepect has brightened each day, week, and mouth since the proclamation of free dom issued from Washington. The Federal armies are triumphaot all aloe; east and west.

Any man with a good sound bead, active enter prise, and nom ca , Wall., need not be afraid to come along ; he will do well. A man and a family of active boys and girls will make a large fortune in three or four years certain. This is a land of hopes and rewards, industry, labour, and cspitaL Let me once more my a word of encouragement to poor working men. Why should they toil on for years, at the most miserable pittance, while they can earn abundance in this country ? An active man can earn from 30s. to 60a. a week aid his board all through /Moo's, and thousands, yea, hundreds of thowiteds, of such are wanted in the United States this year. Our rich farms will absolutely go out of cultivation for watt of farm hands to bring them under the plough. So, too, for the large towns and dtim all marts of tradesmen and mechanics are Deeded, at two to them dollars a day and board. So let every poor fellow who oan even borrow his passage money, and get it for 10 per omit. interest borrow end some away early in the spring. He can send it bask is three or four months, certain. Cotton planters should ono* along immediately, as the land shrield be ploughed, and seed put in in the month of February then a good crop is sure, and it will yield the first picking in August. England wants the floe Upland and Sea Island cotton very much, and the wooer she me get it the better. Let cotton farmers make their way to Cairo in this state, Memphis in Tennessee, Vicksburg in Mississippi, sod New Orleans in Louisiana. There is no use to courult me or anyone else beyond this letter. This infonosition is final, full, perfect. Only act upon it at once, and don't delay or hesitate, or hoe ymr chance of fortune by waiting to leer from some one. You ms wait for a mouth or two kw as answer, and then you that the chance Ms slipped through your Bogen. ECLIPSE or TEE SUN lea 136 C—Next year there will be two eclipses of the elm.

The Sydney Empire of Oct. 21 contains the follow tog :—" Tee depredations of the bushrangers in the western interior have formed the principal topic of discoi dal during the put month, and their nefarious operation; are still being carried on. No murder or any crime Of put enormity has marked their career of late, but their conduct has been more daring, and their defiance of the police more reckless and successful than at any former period. They have on more than one occasion entered various towns in the western district, and after ' bailing up' and robbing and frightening the iohabitanta, got clear off. Their demeanour at these occasions has generally been remarkable for its civil and even courteous tone towards those whom they have plundered ; and it is probable that their conduct in this inspect, and particularly the absence ,of all improper leavens and behaviour in the presence of females, has had mush to do with the impunity they have enjoyed. Most persona, in the abeam of (amities protection, think it , better, so long as they and their amities are not personally Wined or ill-treated, to yield quietly, rather than risk their lives in opposing their plunderers. Captain Winne, the inspector-general of police, was despatched by Mr. Cowper to the sone of the bushrangers' operations some weeks since. He war not successful in his efforts to capture the scoundrels, and was recalled to his dean is Sydney by the new ministry when they came into office. It is understood that the new cabinet hare determined to alter the present absurd police regulations sad equipments, and to substitute others more in accord ance (with rummon sense and the actual requirements of a constabulary force. It is not doubted that even a very small number of properly chosen and equipped con stables would soon clear the country of the intolerable •Uile.oolll of these bushrangers. There am be so doubt that the course pursued by the senii•militein police bee not been such ea to command approval. Unable to cope with the busbrangere, they have adopted the questionable practice of taking vengeance on their relatives, in much the same way that the original occupants of the aoil have been wont to do. On the 14th ultimo an inspector sad party of police went to the house occupied by Patrick O'Meally, the father of the notorious John O'Meally, in the Wadden Mountains, hoping to find him and others of the gang, who were said to be occasionally harboured there. But not finding any of them they ordered the old man, with the remainder of his family, to go outside the house, and take with them their furniture, for they were about to fire to the premises. The threat was despised, and the officer at once set the place on fire. The premises, with all the furniture, were consumed. This act, instead of deterring the bushrangen from further acts of Lawlor violence, ap pears to have stimulated them to deeds of pester daring. On the 19th, three daysdier, the Careoar mad wee stuck up by three men, supposed to be O'Meelly,',Gilbert, and Vane. The coachman was ordered to drive two hundred yards into the bush, to • camp were fatness others were bailed up, one of whom was • policeman, and there they rifled the mail bags. After they had detained their prisoners for two hours, at length they allowed them to depart, thankful that their lives bad been spared. On the same day this party bailed up Mr. Beardmore, of Forbes. Informatioa of thus proceedings having been given to the police, parties were east in pursuit of the robbers. Three of the police were so unfortunate (as it after. wards appeared) u to get upon their track, which they fol• lowed up until the bushrangers, by one of those dodges to whin their career of impunity is mainly to be attributed, eluded their pursuers, until in an unguarded moment the buthrsiugers Gilbert, O'Meally, Vane, Ben Hall, and ano ther, stuck up the three policemen, and took from them their clothing, ammunition, arms, aid hones. The clothing, how ever, with a sort of ineerosity, they retuned, and allowed them to depart minus their hones and accoutrements, On the same day, at Walborn, Patsy Daley, Ja011801), and others their associates, were convicted of highway robbery with fire-cane. and were sentenced to various periods of im prisonment, varying from ten to fifteen years. Two men, • few days afterwards, attacked the store of Mr. Willing, of l i Burrows, but were repulsed with the loss of on. shot dead on the spot and another wounded. On the 23rd five armed men, four of whom were supposed to be O'Meally, Ben Hall, Vue, and Burke, stuck. up Mr. Hosie's store at Caloola, and carried off as much of the goods ea they could pack on their horses ; the remainder of the goods In the store they destroyed, giving ea their reason fur these acts that it had come to their kuowledge that Me. Huns had on • former occasion given information to the police about them. The next day the same gang stuck up Mr. John Loudoo's house at Grubbenhoug, near Garner. They handcuffed all the inmates while they searched the house for policemen they had been told were there. Fueling now, they went to prosecute their search else where. They odd before leaviug 31r. Loudou's house that if any more troops were sent from Bathurst they would capture them and take them in handcuffed to Car coar. They do not appear to have shows any great viodictiveuus here, as there were no policemen foiled on the prezines. Going about their work systematically, we buil the (Owns( day (September 26 h) that the same five notorious bushrangers, Gilbert, Ben Hall, Burke, Vane, and O'Meally, stock up Mr. Rothery's house at Limestone Creek, just as that potion:nu was sitting down to dicier. They handcuffed him, sad ate his dinner, calling for champagne. After diaper the ladies, as ordered, played the pianoforte, while two of the rascals danced, and before leaving tried two or three horse", so as to select the best. The same night they went over to C 1100• wiodra, and robbed the stores of Mr. Robinson, taking away enemy and goods to a considerable amouat. Doused by the illusive friar of such wending', other have been allured to • similar course of crime, for at the same time the hones of • farmer named John Flanagan, of Good Hope, was robbed by two men. They took • sew middle and crupper, besides numerous other articles. Os Thursday, Weber 1, the Cancer mail was stuck up apis.

The rag. tale brought with them the horses they had stage from Mr. flemmyer Machattie and his soh, and left the. NM& th e town. The polios immediately started in permit, but failed to overtake them. Next day they paid a visit to Mr. Ewe. let, and took two horses from Mr. Mean. Os the elai, !Manua was thrown into • state of excitement on learning that a hemmer' had galloped into town from the Vale Creek, about a mile sod • half distant, with intelligence that the bushrangers had made so attack upon Mrs. Mottos 's house. and had proceeded in the direction of Mr. Malmo's. Five troopers jumped into their saddles in pursuit of the bushreagers, but were usable to catch them. A public meting was 6914 by the inhabitants, and reeolatioos adopted, which were transmitted to the government, representing the state of the country. The Colonial Secretory telegraphed in reply that they were to sompt of any mistime the people were disposed to give, in order to arrest the maw of that Mad of robbers. lo the Legislative Assembly, Mr. Piddirgte e moved the adjournment of the boom, he order to draw from the government a statesmen of what Mille they intended to pursue in the ;menet state eI the atesonstances, whoa a loq and urinated discondos took piece, is the mum of whisk the Colonial Secretary road several telegprams that had passed between the government and the lospector-Geeeral of Police, in which it wet intimated that if the bruhreagers were not apprehended within one month, steps were to be taken for the removal of those in command of the polies force. On the 7th. Mr. Martin moved the ad. journment of the house with a view of eliciting some ex. plsostMn respecting the question, submitted by the go ver , meat to the Crown law officers, as to whether the govern. meet had power to outlaw the bushrangen, cocteediog that no each power existed. A warm debate ensued, in the course of which it wan stated the number of b u g. morn causing all the distort:once did not exceed at most ten persons. Many other incidents in addition to those mentioned above have occurred, which it would be tedious to darn. aisle. A singular and somewhat gratifying feature of the times is that ooterithstaediog the prevalence of built. ranging, other crimes are much teem in number then usual. Never, in the history of the colony, have cattle stealing and ordinary felonies been so few. And in Sydney and the other towns. life and property are perhaps es safe as is any pert of the world. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. . - HOME CIRCUIT.—Kmosrow, DEc. 24. The court set until late this evening, in the upset'. Mon that it might be passage to finish the bushes's, sod thus avoid the necessity of compelling the jury again to give their attendanas. The trial of the soldier for the mania of his sweetheart, however, occupied so much time that this was found to be quite impracticable, and the leaned i tin nte f after having set for more than twelve boars, felt oompelled to adjourn nail Monday morning. (Before Baron Pigott.) THE ATTEMPT TO BURS GODALMING CHURCH. Arthur Hackman, 26, labourer, was charged with Mr. bloody sod maliciously attempting to est fire to the parish chureh of Godahning. Mr. Itobini.on and Mr. F. Abbott conducted the proem. Lion. The prisoner was defeoded by Mr. Lilley. The cane appeared to create a good d*l of local interest, as although, happily, very little mischief was done, the general impression ap peared to be that but for the timely discovery of the fire in question the whole edifice would have been destroyed. It appeared that early on the morning of the day named in the indictment a light was seen in the church, and upon an alarm beiog raised it was found that& quantity of paper had been ignited and thrown into one of the pews, but the dames wens extinguished before any Ws chief wee done. Upon as examination being made it was discovered that some person had mounted upon an ancient tomb, known as Simmons' tomb, which ia close I. one of the windows of the church, and that this window was forced in, and then a quantity of lighted paper had been thrown into the edifice. The mi. dance against the prisoner was entirely circumstantial, and one point relied upon was, that he was aware diet the borough and the county policemen stationed at Gods!. ming would be 'bent upon tame particular business about 1 o'clock in the morning, and evidence was given to show that about that hour the window of the church was broken, and the attempt to fire the edifice comrritted. There was also evidence that a portion of the burnt paper that remained in the church carrespended with some paper that was fowl in the prisoner's cottage, and that he gave one or two metes. dietary statements as to bowthe missing portion of the paper had boom disposed of by him. A variety of other little facts were also proved, all tending to show that the prisoner must bare been the godly party. Mr. Lilley contended, on behalf of the prisoner, that all the facts that bad been established at most only made out s on., of suspicion, and the jury returned a verdict of Not Guety. COTTON SUPPLY ASSOCIATION. At the usual weekly meeting of the executive committee, held on Tuesday, a totem was read respecting the capabilities of Conic* to grow cotton. The bout tobacco is produced there, the soil and climate are favour. able, the island is within four hours of Lisbon' sod eight days of England, and laud in the midst of a fertile district sad an industrious population could be at coos obtained. A tine property near Bastes is now to be let or sold, which is every way mutable for cotton cultivation. A letter mu received describing the efforts which have been mails to promote the growth of cotton amongst the Arabs in B.rhary. The cultivation is extending, end the writer expects to have shortly above 100 acres planted. A quantity of ungioned cotton is waiting the arrival of cleaning machines. A gin was granted in aid of the exertions thus described. A letter was read from Madeira, enclosing a sample of cotton valued at 20d per lb. The great difficulty is to obtain suitable land at a low price. but the writer has confideet hopes that this will be surmounted, sod that the cultivation of cotters will extend. A letter was received from the British Vier Consulate, Larissa and Volts, respect. iog the measures takes to increase and improve the coin. vation of cottoo in Theraly. Every opportunity of obtaio log exotic seed has been eagerly seized, and the highest expectations of EIC 30.11 were formed, but owing to the ravages of the locusts, and the excessive drmght which has prevailed throughout the country for the put five months, the crop now gathered is not estimated to be more than 150 OC3 okee, or 412.,5001b., about equal to that of last year. The plantations from American seed are said to have saceeeded admirable, and samples of tattoo grown at laden and Armyro have been forwarded, which are valued at Mad. mad 29d. per lb. respectively. A sample ales front native seed has been received, and is valued at 24d. per lb. The balk of the crop of Messily has already been par. chased and partly shipped to Marseilles. A letter was reed from the India-Aloe, enclosing a copy of • despatch from the government of Bombay, relative to the vine cotton of Cuba, and the expediency of introducing its cultivatios into portions of the Bombay presidency. Inquiries have been made for the seed, and a .Mll expressed to try the experiment. A letter was read from Kursiong Judie'. Bengal, stating that the climate sod soil or that part of the country are well suited to the cultivation of New Orleans and Egyptian oottoe. An experiment oe a more extended scale than has yet been attempted is shoat to bemade. A sample was received of 13 bales of African cotton, which has been forwarded by one of the natives, e!al midst 2bd. perlb. Greats of seed were made for Madeira and to a party of emigrants to Queessland. The HMI Italian Commission ben determined that the Cotton Ei• hibitioo at Turin shell remain open from January Ist to March 31st. The jurors will meet on the 20th Febnurr, and continue their labours on as many succeeding Mire le may be oecemary.
