The Constitutionnel of this morning publishes an article signed by M. Limayrac upon the replies to the congress proposition, which are now nearly all known. The writer says :—" The events in Denmark prove that the proposition was oppor tune. The line of conduct to be followed by France is traced out. After having expressed regret to England and thanks to the powers who accede to the proposition, France can give the required explanations. Nothing is adverse to a preliminary understanding, the advantages of which are manifest. In the midst of all the un certainties and differences this understanding would create fixed points, and if the majority of the mem bers of the European family concurred therein a considerable result would be attained, on which we should have to congratulate ourselves." PARIS, DPI 12. The reply of the King of Denmark to the Em peror Napoleon's invitation to a congress is pub lished this morning. Letters received here from Japan to the 15th October state that, at an extraordinary meeting of Daimios, it was decided by 66 against 47 votes that there was no ground for declaring war against foreigners.

ALTHOUGH the tenour of the latest telegrams 1 from India had left very little doubt of the inevi table termination of Lord ELGIN's illness, the news which reached London yesterday of the death of the Viceroy of India, on the 20th of November, will , strike the public this morning with a pang of sor- 1 rowfnl surprise. So true it is that, in public as in private life, there are griefs and losses which, how- I ever lingering in their approach or long delayed, come at last with all the violence of a sudden and unlooked-for blow. Lord ELGIN, though the companion and friend at the University, the aur- I vivor and successor in the highest delegation of authority in the world, of Lord CANNING and Lord I Dar um:raiz—who it seems but the • other day were spoken of as promising statesmen, and are now names in history—was, compared with our chiefs of parties at home, scarcely more than in the prime of an active and vigorous lire, when he took leave of England for the last time to enjoy the magnificent penalty of a gene rous ambition. Like several of his predeces sors, Lord ELGIN went out to India to inaugu rate an era of imperial beneficence and pacification; to heal, to appease, to reconcile, to unite. There waa nothing very dazzling in such a prospect to a vain, a restless, or an adventurous spirit ; to a man of passionate or romantic temperament, weary of the parochial politics of our western world. But it may be fairly said that no one within the privileged circle could have been found more fit for the sovereignty he was called to exercise in India than the statesman who has now been carried away at the dawn of a noble destiny un fulfilled. In truth, Lord ELGIN belonged to that order of aristocracy which justifies the Con servative belief in the vitality and per manence of an aristocratic order in this country ; to the order, that is, of modest, useful, ready, and indefatigable professional poli ticians and administrators ; men who work as hard in their vocation as the sergeant-major of a marching regiment or &conveyancer in good practice. These men, no doubt, are often the superiors only in the accidents of birth and fortune to hundreds of their fellow-countrymen of meaner rank ; but it is by the use of their advantages, by their superiority to the accidents of birth and fortune, that they deserve to be judged ; by the example of laborious responsibilities deliberately preferred to selfish idleness and ease, and of a debt of hereditary honour acknowledged and fulfilled wida a proud humility. It would be a poor com pliment to the services of such a man as Lord ELGIN to pretend that he rose to the highest dignities by the right of extraordinary merit or capacity ; it is a higher, because a purer and juster, tribute to his memory to speak of him as of an English gentleman who, being born to greatness, was anxious to deserve and content to achieve it, and who died as he lived—at work. Ws understand that Captain &saute has been reinstated in her MAJESTY'S service, by being plsoed upon the half-pay of his rank from the date at which he was struck off the strength of his regi ment, the 6th Dragoons. Under this arrangement Captain SMALLS does not lose the advantage of any of his service, nor is his title to • future pension impaired. The reinstatement annuls entirely the effect of the Mhow court-martial, although not the proceedings of the court-martial itself, and it une quivocally condemns the treatment to which he has been subjected. Justice has at length triumphed, but after one of the most obstinate contests that we can remember. This measure of reparation to Captain SMALEB is mainly due to the enlightened development and persistent manifestation of pub lic opinion. While claiming this credit for the public press we desire to recognise the honourable part which Earl Da GAIT has taken in this matter. He had to contend against the opposition of the Indian authorities, who had committed themselves to • doubtful de oiaion. Ile bad to undertake a careful in- quiry into a large body of facts which had occurred at a distance, before he could pronounce a final judgment. The delay has provoked some expression of impatience, but the deliberateness, to which it was owing, adds to the value of the decision. The Indian authorities, and parti cularly Sir If t:en Rosy, Commander-in-Chief, will understand in future that although they are reputed omnipotent in their sphere, there being no legal appeal from any irregularity they may commit, • power greater than theirs observes their acts and will overthrow their injustice. HER MaJisrir.—Yesterday the Queen attended evening service at St. George's Chapel, Windsor, and emu pied the royal closet. Her Royal Highness the Princess Helena was also present, and occupied the stall of the late Prince Consort as Knight of the Garter. Her Majesty and the princess were attired in deep mourning. The Crown Priam and Princess of Prussia have attended Divine service at the chapel several days during the week. Dr. Elvey presided at the organ. Their Serene Highnesses the Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe-Weimar will join the company visiting the Marquis and Marchioness of Bath at Longleat, Wilts, on Monday neat. . His Excellency the Austrian Ambassador and the Countess Apponyi leave town early in the ensuing week on a tour of eta. lady Lyndhurst has left town for the residence of Mr. Du Case, ALP., and Hoe. Mrs. Da Cane, in Esser. Her ladyship is in better health. Lord Stanley, DEP., has left town for Knowsley, after visiting the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury, at Hatfield House, Herts. The Marquis of Bristol left town yesterday for Ickworth Park, where • large family circle have assembled, and will remain until Christmas. The Marquis and Marchioness of Bath have been entertaining during the week the Marquis and Marchioness of Ailosbury, Maria, Marchioness of Ailesbury, Viscount Oauterbury, the Countess of Ellesmere, and other visitors. The Earl of Dudley has left his house in Park lone for Bco thud. The Right Hon. Sir Charles Wood has arrived at Etiokletoe Hall, Yorkshire, where the right boo. bsrooet will receive a select party of visitors duriog the ensuing week. His Excellency the Turkish Ambassador and Mr. Manna are expected at the rendeeee of the embus early next week, from the Oeatinent. Madame Mumma and family are poising the sewn at St. Leonard's. Mr. James Stanafeld, M.P., the Junior Lord of the Admiralty, who has been actively emplo►ed all the week at Davenport amkyard examining the public m ama* paid an official visit on Thursday to the Royal Wil liam Victualling-yard at Stoneham. The new royal paddle yacht Alberta has a large number of hands employed upon her in the steam basin of Portsmouth Dockyard, making her ready to convey her Majesty from the R''l Clarence Victualling-yard to Os borne on the 16th init. The yacht, as a royal yacht and constructed especially for the Q men's use, has created con siderable surprise in the minis of all who have visited her. The upper deck is almost entirely cavered with saloons, hatchways, &c., and bat a very confined space indeed be tween the after saloon and bulwarks is set apart for pro menading in fine weather. She is deeper in the water than she was intended to be when laid down, and is anything but a credit to her Admiralty designers. We (Army and Nary Gazttt;) are told that Rear- Admiral Decree has orders to proceed with the Channel Squadron as far as Madeira. The opportunity will be thus afforded him of making a valuable report of the sea•goiog qualitam of the different descriptions of iron-clads under ha command. We (Army and Nary Gazette) understand Sir Hugh Rose has been authorised to recommend a limited number of officers for brevet majority on account of their distinguished conduct in the field.

LATARD'A LATE SPEECH.—Mr. Layard met his constituents on Thursday, and made a wandering speech, which was palpably intended to have been au attack on Mews. Cobden and Bright ; but constituents not liking that lice. he had to avoid it, and make a new speech on the spot. The old one, however, kept rising to his throat like an anew of bile, producing the oddest teasebited kind of effect. Mr. Layard did not say anything very noticeable beyond calling for farther inquiry in the matter of Kago sima, which was destroyed, he believed, unavoidably, and fiercely denouncing Mr. Coldwin Smith. "He bed prosti tuted the chair of history by mingling in the dirty arena of party strifa" Mr. Layard doubtless knows the character of the place in which h is own contest is fought ; but why it should be dirtier for the Oxford professor than for the member for Southwark is not explaioni.—Spertalor. - - MUNIFICENT Garr.—At anleeting of the Glasgow Faculty of Procuratorson Thursday, Mr. A.

During her illness she scot for the Roman catholic priest, and he, after her death, refused to bury her, ne doubt regarding her as as excommunicate, which she unquestionably was, even amording to the Cason Law of the Church of England, which, unfortunately for the consciences of the clergy, is a dead letter as far as its working goes.

SANGUINARY SKIRMISH. Sir Hugh Rose, from Lahore, has informed Sir Bartle Frere that on the 20th of N ovember the tribes attacked General Chamberlain with much determi nation. The enemy were defeated. Lieutenants Sanderson and Peel, of the 101st Regiment, were killed, five officers wounded, including General Chamberlain and Colonel Hope ; and 128 men, British and native, were killed and wounded. The loss of the tribes is much greater. Since this defeat the tribes have not attacked, and show symptoms of disunion and discouragement. Chamberlain says he does not require rein forcements, he only wishes the regiments which have suffered much to be relieved, and speaks confidently of final success. He has upwards of 5,000 selected troops, intrenctied in a commanding position, and defended by thirteen guns, four officers of Engineers, and two companies of Sappers and Miners. The troops are hard-worked, but their health is good. They are well-provisioned, and have plenty of ammunition. General Chamberlain has resigned the command on account of his wound and ill-health ; Major-General Garvock is appointed to succeed him. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (MI 0013 OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The government is moving heaven and earth to prevent the re-election of M. Eugene Pelletan for Paris. There is in the commune of Ivry, of which his rival M. Picard (d'lvr) )was formerly mayor—and of which another M. Picard (brother of the govern ment candidate) has just been appointed mayor for the purposes of this election—a highway known, in the strategetical map of Paris, as "Route De partmentale, No. 19." This road No. 19 has been for years in a bad state of repair, and local petitions on the subject have uniformly gone into the waste paper basket. But now —just on the eve of the election—the Prefect of the Seine has promised to spend 250,000 fr. upon this road, and as an earnest of his intentions 300 men, all electors, have already been set to work upon it. M. Picard (d'lvry) is a member of the municipal council of Paris (named, as you must bear in mind, by the government), and an intimate ally of M. flaussmann. Under these circum stances the struggle may be expected to be unusually severe. In order to create a preju dice against bins, the Constitutionned has raked up some of his earlier writings, in which he had the courage to speak of the lamentable ignorance of the masses, as showing him to be an "enemy of the people." Because of a criticism on Beranger, in which be expressed the very sustain able opinion (which, permit me to say parentheti cally, I do not share) that the reputation of that great lyrist was overrated, M. Pelletan is held up to odium as a libeller of the "national poet." On the other hand, there is in the Prase to-night an article in favour of M. Pelletan, which, though bearing the signature of M. Jauret, the secretary, is unmistakeably the work of M. Emile de Girar din, now a guest of the Emperor at Compiegne. This article says : M. Picard (Very) signifies " Liberty deferred." If. Pens tock means " Liberty restored." To reconquer lost liber ties !—and without stopping to inquire whether they were lost after 1830 or after 184 S—that is what the electors of Paris meant when they voted for the opposition candidates. And what are these lost liberties! They are liberty of the press ; liberty of public meetings ; liberty of association. These three ►iberties exist in England, Belgium, Holland, Italy. and Switzerland ; where they neither disturb public order nor prevent the duration of governments. Why should they not exist iu France ! Why, if Francs is suffi ciently advanced to have the liberty of voting, should she not also possess the liberty of writing, speaking, end meeting! It is by the entire liberty which it en joys that a country shows itself to have this government suited to it. Political liberty and national gover nment are syncopes. All the electors who think this will vote for M. &germ Pelletan. To vote for him is to continue to vote for the "list." The election of Dec. 14 is the continuation of the election of June 1. These are courageous words of M. E. deGirardin, and being written as they are, in the palace of Compiegne, they do him great credit, and are at the same time a remarkable indication of the cur rent of public opinion. The Notion says that a compromise is likely to be come to on the great Isthmus of Suez question, which, owing to the large fees paid by M. de Lesseps on the one side, and Nubar Pacha on the other, for articles which are,in fact, advertisements, has lately produced a mysterious schism among the very organs of the French goverment. The rumour now is that the company will not insist upon the tale of fellahs which the Viceroy has hitherto furnished, and will accept a pecuniary indemnity in their place, with which money it will be able to hire foreign labourers. Up to this time the Viceroy has punctually paid all the money which the company claimed from him. The Native says that the Viceroy has asked the Emperor Napoleon to act as arbitrator in the matter. This news coincides with the statement made some time ago that the Emperor had asked POLAND. A German correspondent from Lonna, writing in the Schlertische Zeitung, gives the following de scription of Mouravieff s recent proceedings in that town _ . For moms time before we were placed under the iron l i sceptre of Mouravieff, a Russian military commandant had I resided here, apparently as a quiet private gentleman, not interfering in anything. This, however, ;was bat a mask which the Russians used to enable him to insinuate him self into the confidence of the citizeos. and thee to act as a spy on their actions. As soon as he bad acquired suf ficient information he requested Mouravieff to send us an unscrupulous and energetic Russian as civil governor. This was soon done, and MonraviefFs emissary, immediately after his arrival, summoned all the inhabitants, both Jews and Christians, to the market-place. We obeyed this order patiently, and the market-place was soon filled. The Christian inhabitants were then separated from the Jews, and surrounded by infantry and Coesacks, after which their new ruler came forward, glared at the trembling crowd, and exclaimed, " Where is the rascal The individual named, one of our principal Jewish mer chants, advanced. " Lock him up" was the next order to the Cossacks, who immediately seized him and dragged him from the spot. Then turning to the Christians—" Now, you perjured, faithless hounds, have you quite forgotten your great Czar Down on your knees and swear your oath of allegiance once more." We then all fell trembling on our knees and remained in that position until our muter thus addressed us :—" Now get up, pack off to your houses and write an address of submission to our mighty Czar and lord." With these words we weredismisaed. We thought this was all, but we were grossly deeeived. The arrests now began ; the mat respectable officials sad citizens were taken from their houses and thrown into prison. The slightest remonstrance was punished with from 50 to 100 lashes. An old Polish lady who was ordered to produce be son but conk' not do so as he was absent, received sixty blows with a rod. The apothecary T--, a citizen universally liked in the town, was also arrested, and re ceived eighty lashes because he did not follow his escort quick enough. In short it is impossible for me to describe to you all the acts of violence committed by this unworthy delegate of Mourarieff. We are in despair; all trade is stopped. We bear of nothing but arrests and fiogaioge. The address is signed. May Poland forgive us this forced homage. The world knows the way in which these addresses are obtained. In the neighbouring city of Surailki, the Jewish community was similarly forced to sign an address of submission, and the deputation which took it to Wilna was accompanid by a strong milituy escort. A letter from Kalisch says a Russian patrol has been cut to pieces by the insurgents in the vicinity of that town, and that a squadron of hussars, sent after the latter, has not returned. M. Olezecki, oue of the most respected gentlemen in the palati nate, has been hanged at Wilna by the BAIIIIIAIIB. The Breslauer Zeitung says: _ . It is now no secret that the suspension of the arm, which was effected, in opposition to all law sod right, by special directions from Vienna, has been ordered in consequence of the strongly expressed wish of the Grand Duke Constar:. tine. The Polish deputies have stated this fact before the Minister of Police, who only smiled, but did not attempt to deny it. According to the Cologne Gau " trains of pri soners to be confined in the interior of the country [(inter nirtennigv) constantly leave Lemberg and Cracow (or Mo ravia. in much the same way as trains of exiles leave Warsaw for Russia. The last of the transports left Lemberg on the 4th December with 21 insurgents, two of whom are to he trans ported beyond the frontier. On the god three persons were arrested and searched in coosequence " of State police considerations." The Narodsi List: of Prague publisher a secret circular from the Bohemian authorities, directing such Austrians as have agitated abroad against Ramie to be treated according to the ministerial decree of October, 1560. A letter from St. Petersburg says that the Rus sian senator Artimowier has been appointed director of the civil authorities in the kingdom of Poland. The Funds are in a very bad state, and have again sunk 1 per cent. Messrs. Bork and Tcbewkine have been appointed to inquire into the state of the bank. The selection is said not to be a happy one, the peat career of both of these gentlemen showing that they are totally ignorant of the principles of true finance. THE SMITHFIELD CLCB CATTLE S itow.—Yeeter day was the fifth and last day of the Smithfield Club Cattle Show, and, although the number of visitors fell far short of those of Thursday, which are stated to have reached nearly 40,000, there was still a very goodly c..uster throughout the merging. As the afternoon advanced the numbers visibly diminished, but between six and eight o'clock the rush greatly increased, and by the final close it was computed that more than 20,000 bad entered by the turn-tables, than making the aggregate number of persons who had paid for admission during the five days amount to coosiderably over one hundred thousand. That this immense number of persons should be conveyed by railway and road, and attend a great public exhibition with out a single accident, and, so far as the interior of the Agricultural-hall is concerned, without a single loss or robbery of any kind being reported, speaks well not only for the general management, but for the police arrangements. True it is that some of the swell mob and light-fingered gentry made an attempt, taking advantage of the crowded state of the entrance on Thor Way night, to ply their voca tion upon the unwary, but by the vigilance of the police they were detected on the spot, and have been awarded the punishment due to them. During the last few days there have been but few sales of stock effected. There has been an impetus given to the butchers in making their purchases by the resolution adopted on the motion of Mr. Giblett, to substitute for the old silver medal a cup of the value of 101. This has, without doubt, greatly tended to increase the competition, still at the close last night there were many valuable prize animals remaining unsold. Although with regard to ventilation and general comfort the atmos phere of the show was even up to last night as pure as it was on the private view day, still the directors have determined on many improvements before another year. As a show, taken altogether, the present has been a most successful one in every particular. SALE OF OXEN AT WINDSOK.—The sale of her Majesty's Scotch oxen, fed in the meadows of Windsor Great Park, under the management of Mr. G. Gnash, on bean meal, mike, and hay, took place yesterday at Windsor. The beasts were in the finest condition, of them, rising six years old, averaged over 271. each—a price much higher than has ever before been realised. Altogether there were 53. The highest..pr dox sold for 30/. 10e. It was bought by. Mr. Copeland. the royal butcher. Several produced prices between 291. mod 301. The principel purchasers were Messrs. Copeland, Bedborough, White, Hughes, Webb, and Hutchiog, of Windsor; Mr. Harris, of Slough; and Mr. Cushion, of Staines.

COLLIERY ACCIDENT AND LOSS OF TWELVE LIVES. Another explosion, causing the death of twelve men, and serious injuries to several others, has occurred at the Green Pit, belonging to the New British Iron Company, at Rabin. The pit, which is situate on the right hand side of the Great Western Railway, approaching Ruabou, and about half a mile from the station, is one of the most extensive in North Wales. The works have only been in operation some three or four years, and this is the second fatal explosion which has taken place there within a few months. On Wednesday morning, when the accident occurred, some two hundred men or more were em. payed in working the .pit, which is three hundred and forty.five yards deep. In the south side, however, where the explosion took place, only twenty men were eog.tged, and of that number twelve are dead, three are so seriously injured that their recovery is doubtful, and three others are suffering severely from the effects of the explosion. About eleven o'clock on Wednesday morning • loud explosion wan heard in the south aide of the pit, and it was soon discovered that the " stoppinp," or sir ways, had been blown down, and that some ' difficulty would most likely be experienced in reach ing the unfortunate men who were engaged in that part of the workings. The manager of the pit, Mr. Gray, was not present at the time, but be wee immediately seat for, and lost no time in taking the necesiery raps to rescue the men, or recover their bodies. A temporary arrangement was at fist provided to remedy the defective "stoppage,. but masons were also employed to reset the brickwork with all possible speed. In consequence of the presence of fire damp, considerable difficulty was at first experienced in getting at the men, but Mr. Gray, assisted by Mr. Wynn Kenrick and others, acted so promptly and energetically that the men were rescued, and all the bodies recovered, in the course of the afternoon. Some of the bodies were very much burnt and discoloured. The appearance of others seemed to point to suffocation as the canes of death. The mouth of the pit presented a very sorrowful spectacle. The relatives and friends of the unfortunate men, as well as many of the inhabitants of the surrounding neighbourhood, assembled to witness the melancholy work of bringing the bodies to bank. The crowd collected was not so numerous, however, as might have been expected from the serious nature of the calamity. Several of the men have left wives and famihes, of course uopronded for, in accordance with the improvident habits of the miners. In one house are lying three dead bodies, two brothers and a cousin, while another brother is amongst those who are injured, though not, it is hoped, very seri. ously. Of the other injured men, two are brotbera•in.law. On Wednesday afternoon nine men were brought up dead; three others were so seriously injured that they have since died. AB soon as the news of this terrible calamity reached Wynnstay, Indy Wynn caused inquiries to be made respecting the sufferers and the waste of the widows and orphans, and Mr. Jonathan Jones, of Cefn Mawr. visited every house where any of the dead or injured lay, and sent a report to her ladyship. The cause of the accident is at present an. known. It is surmbed, however, that Harrison, the fire• man, incautiously fired a blast with his lantern, and thus caused the fire damp to ignite. Harrison is at present too ill to make any statement, and it is feared that he will not recover, though the accounts yesterday morning were more favourable. The inquest was opened at the Courthouse, 'Wilma, yesterday morning, but after the jury had viewed the bodies it was adjourned. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.)
