ARRIVAL OF THE EDINBURGH. The Inman steamship Edinburgh, from New York on the 10th instant, arrived at Queenstown at L3O p.m. yesterday, with 420,908 dols. in specie, the mails, and 243 passengers. She landed 44 passengers, and proceeded at 1.40 p.m. NEW YORK, Dec. 10. Advice, from City Point indicate an early re newal of hostilities before Petersburg. The 2nd and sth army 'corps were massed near the Jerusa lem plank road on the night of the 6th, and on the following morning advanced towards Stoney Creek station on the Weldon road. This is thought to be preliminary to either a grand attack upon Lee's line south of Petersburg, or to effect a lodgment on the South Side railroad. A general engagement is considered imminent. The Richmond papers state that Grant has re cently been reinforced, and that Lee is thoroughly informed'as to the plans of his adversary, and amply prepared to thwart him. It is rumoured that General Early is about to advance against Sheridan, and that he had been reinforced by Breckenridge. The Confederates arefsaid to have re-occupied Atlanta in strong force. Federal advices from East Tennessee report that the Federals, under Burbidge, had advanced to Beare's Station, and that Breckenridge had re treated beyond Bull's Gap. _ _ _ Resolutions have been introduced into the Con federate Senate vigorously opposing the arming of the slaves, ou tho ground that as yet no necessity existed for that measure. In. Mr. Seward's letter to Mr. Adams, referring to Lord 'Marneliffe's proposal to furnish pecuniary aid to Confederate prisoners, be states that the American people will be likely to reflect that the sum is insidiously tendered in the name of humanity, and constitutes no large portion of the profits which its contributors may be justly supposed to have derived from the insurgents, by exchanging them arms and munitions of war for the coveted productions of Immoral and enervating slave labour. Nor will any portion of the Ameri can people be disposed to regard the sum so osten tatiously offered for the relief of captured insur gents as a too generous equivalent for the devasta tion and dissolution which a civil war, promoted and protracted by the British subjects, has spread throughout the States, which . before were eminently prosperous and happy. THE SUCCESSION QUESTION IN THE DUCE(LES. BERLIN, Dec. 21. The semi-official Pronintial Corresonkien: of to-day says :—" In order to obtain a well founded judgment rpou all the hereditary claims to the Duchies the Prussian government will isy the succession question before the crown lawyers, for their opinion on the subject." SALE OF THE ITALIAN CROWN LANDS. TURIN, Dec. 21. A royal decree has been published to-day sanc tioning the formation of a company for the hale of the crown lands. The directors of the company are Signori Baldinino, Inciaa, Genero, Lacosta, and Rood. THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT AND THE DUCHIES. The Temps of yesterday says :—" Our Vienna correspondent has reason fur believing that the French Government is much occupied with the affairs events are taking in the Duchies. It is said to have addressed a circular despatch on this sub ject to its agents in Germany. It would appear that the Emperor wishes to be certain before the new year of the ulterior intentions of the great German powers. In a conversation with M. Drouyu de Lhuys, Prince Metternich is said to have given the moat satisfactory explanations in the name of his government. It has also been ru moured that in his new year's speech the Emperor Napoleon will allude to the question of a general disarmament recently broached by several journals." THE CALCUTTA, CHINA, AND AU: MAILS. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam. ship Delhi, Captain Brooks, with the heavy portion of the above mails, arrivedat Southampton yesterday afternoon. She brings 105 passengers, 6 packages of specie (value 104621.), also 183 boxes; of orange., 238 packages of ins dries, and 848 bales of raw silk, value 80 ,0001. sterling. The Delhi left Gibraltar on the 12th. On the 13th sad 14th she encountered a heavy cyclone gale off Cape St. Vincent, which compelled her to put into Lisbon to reple nish coal, where she remained until the 18th before obtaining a supply, all the coal hulks having sunk during the late gale at Lisbon. Across the Bay of Biscay the Delhi experienced strong westerly gales, and up the Channel hot winds. The Royal Mail Company's steamer Magdalena, from Southampton, with the outward mails of the 9th, expe -1 rienced a heavy gale, and was hove-to for 30 hours off the Barlings. She only reached Lisbon on the 15th . and was to sail for the Brazils on the 19th. The Portuguese fleet and American frigate Sacramento were in the harbour of Lisboa. Her Majesty's ships Gibraltar, Royal Oak, thanes., Or lando, Resistance, Cossack, Pelican, Racer, Assurance, Psyche, Cockatrice, sod Wizard were at Malta ; and the Peoria and 'tadpole at Gibraltar. The British steamer Dalhousie, from Newport, arrived at Gibraltar on the 9th ; when in let. 43.36 N., long. 96 W., she fell in with the British s►ip Phyrns,disabled from loss of rudder and laden with timber, from Si. Jobs (N. 8.) for Liverpool. The Dalhousie towed the ship to within tiO miles of Comae, and then left her in order to obtain fresh towing cables at Coruona. On returning she was unable to Sod the disabled reseal. The !familia. with the ontwerd mails of the 40, left Gibraltar on the 9th for the East. Her Majesty's screw boe-of-hattle ship Victoria left Gibraltar on the 9th for the East. The following British vowels arrived out at Gibraltar Steamer Yalestme, 7 days, from Liverpool ; schooner Ann Warren, 30 days, from Swansea ; brig Hannah Bailees, 18 days, from Liverpool ; steamer Wave Queen, 21 days from Newcastle; steamer Atlantic, 6; days, from Liver- pool ; steamer Heck, 6 days, from Liverpool ; steamer Amazon, 11 days, from London ; and steamer Digits, 7 days, from Cardiff.

Last night the usual weekly meeting of the society was held ; Mr. W. HAWES, chairman of the council, in the chair. The attendance was very tumorous. The articles emit in competition for the art workmanship prises offered by the society were arranged In the room for the inspection of members. and attracted much attention. This is the wood exhibition of the kind which has taken place in the society's room, the first having been held in October, 1863, when 72 works were received in competition. The subject on which the council decided to award prises were modelling in terracotta, plaster, and wax ; reponse work in any metal ; hammered work in IMO braes, or copper ; carving in ivory chasing in metal , enamel painting on metal, copper, a nJ gold ; painting on porcelain, inlays in wood (marquelit7 huhl), ivory or metal ; gagman as Pro, and embroidery. The prosiest exhibition showed • marked improvement over the last one, and will well repay a visit to the society's room. Mr. FOSTER read "A short review of the society's past and present action in the promotion of industrial educa tion," on behalf of Mr. S. T. Davenport, the writer of the Pe Per. In the discussion which followed, Mr. COLE took camp. tion to that portion of the paper in which Mr. Davenport re commended that manufacturers should be compelled to send in specimens of what they had to sell to a great national museum. He thought it was even a mistake to compel authors and publishers to seed oop es of their works to the national libraries. With regard to the present exhibition, although it was not whet, it was • great improvement on the last, and promised more for the future. There were many of the articles which would probably be sold ; and be was not sure that some of them would not go to the Kensington Museum. The specimens of wood carving were very good, and the samples of glass mosaics afforded the prospect of moth future excellence. It was hi;bly probable, from what he saw, that glass mosaics would be largely used for decorative purposes, and as this was a branch of industrial art which could be successfully cultivated by females, as was evident from the productions before them, it was peculiarly desirable that it should be encouraged. There might be commissions for the purchase of some of the articles in wood and glass on the peat of the Kensington Museum. (Hear, hear.) Mr. BLARE. Mr. GRAHAM, Mr. WLECKWORTH, Mr. GOD WIN, Hr. WATERROESE HAWKERS, MI...JONES, Mr.SLIIONDS, Mr. PALMER, A:. continued the discussion. Most of the speaker; admit ted that there was an improvement in the present over the last exhibition, but some of them, especially Mr. Godwin, considered that the contributions did not answer the expectations of the originators of the scheme, or the ioducernents which were held out by the council in the shape of prizes, which amounted to between eM. and titkit. Suggestions were thrown out that the artisans should be allowed more liberty than the conditions imposed by the mooed allowed, and that the great City companies should be asked to co operate in the fostering of • higher degree of industrial art. On the conclusion of the discussion a vote of thanks was passed on Mr. Davenport, for his paper. Tex CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY AND THE LONDON Bangs.—An effort is being MOlitt to close the London Banks on Monday at noon, and the following paper is in course of signature :—" We, the undersigned merchants and tredets of London, desiring that the clerks of the various hanks be not excluded, at the close of a laborious year, from the p oem' holiday, on the 26th inst., hereby signify our readiness to co-operate in the effort to close the banks of the metro polises 12 at noon on that day."

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (fox on OWN conzspownwr.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY Emma. The evening Moniteur gives the following account of the translation of the heart of Voltaire to the Bibliothhque Imperiale, which event has provoked commentaries of the most divers kinds : When Voltaire died, his heart, after a post snorters ex amination, was extracted from his body on May 31, 1778, by order of the Marquis &Ville/I*in wham house he stayed after his cetera to Paris, sod wherein he died. The friend, the admirer of the great writer, desired to ease this heart from the destruction which death occasion' and' it was plated in a metallic vessel and steeped in a alloollllll preparation calculated to preserve it from delay. Whoa, in execution of the law of May 30, 1791, which enacted that "the ashes of Voltaire should be transferred to the church of Saint • Genevieve, whore they should receive the funereal honours due to peat mss," the funeral procession of Voltaire pained through the streets of Paris on July 11 of the same year, a halt was merle before the mansion of the Marquis de Villette, situated at the comer of the Rue de Beaune and the Quai Voltaire, and the Afseimur of July ti records the fact that the reason for the pause was that Voltaire's heart was them. Shortly afterwards the heart wee removed to the Chateau de Valletta in the arrondissement of Poet Saint Maumee (One), where it ever since remained, and once kept with veneration. ' But the 'Marquis . de Villein*, his widow, and his son are dead ; and their heirs having considered it a dirty to give up this relic to the state, M. Leon Duval, a membtrOf the order of Advocates of the Imperial Coon of Paris, having taken the Emperor's plea- sure, his Majesty desired that a national asylum should be given in the Rebbothique Imperial' to the heart of Vol taire, to the end that it may henceforth belong to France, pursuant to the titan of the law of May 30, 1791. In obedience to hie Majesty's orders on Friday last, the 16th of this month, M.Durvey,the Minister of Public Instruc tion, proceeded to the Bibliothrque Imperials, and there, in presences of the Administrator• General of the eetablish meet, accompanied by members of the Consultative Com mittee, be received from the hands of M. Leon Duval the heart of Voltaire enclosed in a recipient of gilt metal, on which is engraved these words :—" Le mot de Voltaire, mort I Paris le XXX may MDCCLXXVIII." The minister declared that be took possession of this precious deposit, and ordered that it should be provisionally kept, with all the respect due to the mortal remains of this great man in the beat part of the Bibliotheque Imperials, that is to say, the department of medals, until the time when the new works shall be sufficiently advanced to permit of its definitive installation between the departments of manu scripts and prints, on the first floor of the Rotunda, be tween the junction of the Ruse de Richelieu and Reny* dee Petits Champs, where a room is destined to receive not only the heart of Voltaire, but also the original fits , toe by lloadon, the medals struck in his honour, and the manuscript correspondence and printed works of the im mortal writer. Prods alba (i.e., a written record) wu it owe drawn up of this delivery end reception. I have here given you a document which will assuredly till a page of history. In my opinion " consternation " is not too strong a word to de scribe the feelings of the Papal party when they shall see in the front page of the /itositeur of 1864, this adoption and renewal of the apotheosis of Vol taire of 1791. The Patric gives as positive news that M. Conti, Councillor of State, will be appointed private secretary to the Emperor. This is oonfirmed. Dr. Connesu called on M. Conti, who never dreamed of such an honour, to offer him the poet. M. Conti is a Corsican—always, other things being equal, a good title to imperial favour—and was born at Ajaccio on October 31, 1812. He stu died law and poetry at the same time, and when quite a young man was elected to the ' Council General io the opposition interest, Umpere Louis Philippe. After the revolution of February, lOU, he was made Procureur-General of the re public at Hestia. He was returned to the National Assembly by 18,760 votes, and voted with the de mocratic party as long as General Cavaignac was in power. After December 10 he rallied at once to Louis Napoleon, and he was made a councillor of state shortly after the coup (Mat. The Rev. Father Hyacinthe, of the order of barefooted Cartuelites,who is preaching the Advent sermons at Notre-Dame, is said to have been selected for the Lent services at the Tuileries. This is one of the most rising preachers of the day, and his manifest superiority to Father Felix, of the order of the Jesuits, causes great chagrin to that body. It is thought impossible that Father Felix can be again engaged at Notre- Dame. The Bourse remains with scarcely any change, A FRENCH VIEW OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN'S RE-ELECTION. A distinguished French writer, K Auguste Laugel, contributes an article on Mr. Lincoln's re-election to the number of the Revue des Deus Menedes of the 15th December, of which the following are the concluding passages. K Laugel, it may be mentioned, was in America when the electoral contest took place : The first words which fell from the lips of the President after the reedention were words of penes and conciliation. General Butler, in a speech which he made before leaving New York, also gave it to be understood that pacific proposals would soon be made to the Sinthern States. The misfortunes cad the emotions of the war have not aroused any sentiment of vengeance or of hatred in the hearts of the inhabitants of the North ; they are ready to restore to the Southern State" all their coastal:aloud rights, to cover everybody with a generous amnesty, to madder all the decrees of cooliscation • dead letter. They merely ask of the South the 'enunciation of an institution henceforth considered incompatible with the Union. Never since the commence ment of the war has the North felt itself so powerful, so united, so confident; all doubt, all hesitation, has disap peared; the war has henceforth AN definitive meaning; all the fortes of the nation have found • common object. This unconscious purpose, pervading thousands of individual minds, has at last become aware of it. own existence. As the price of so much bloodshed, of so many Man. exertions, end troubles, it asks one thing only, "the Union without slavery." The popular verdict has already excited deep agita tion is the Coefederate ranks. Mr. Jefferson Davis and his friends hoped that the democratic party would obtain the victory ; they believed the North exhausted, discouraged, divided, and even if Mr. Lincoln were elected they at least expected that his majority would be too smell to assure his moral authority. If a new civil war grew out of the exist iog civil war, if the factions armed against each other in the towns and in the States of the North, if party spirit penetrated even the ranks of the army, the rebellion re gained in a moment all it had lost. A single day has anni hilated these vain hopes; the Southern Coofederacy stands face to face with the gloomy reality ; it sees it, army decimated, half its original territory lost for ever, its last remaining cities threatened, it. treasury empty, its credit exhausted. No free voice can make itself heard in those States subjected to the military government ; but the accounts of prisoners and refugees, the tone of the few Southern jounals in which regret and weariness may be discerned under an amaraaoe of enforced enthusiasm, the speeches recently delivered in Georgia by Mr. Jefferson Davis himself, the messages of several governors of rebel States, the disgrace of the vioe-presideet, Mr. Stephens, who formerly made great efforts to prevent the secession movement, all to the belief that the Confederation is at this moment being slowly tam asunder. A silent struggle bee commenced be tween those who, satisfied with having vindicated military honour, have no wish to plunge their country in greater dimities, sad Acme who, despairing of victory, wish [Stamped, Id. Additional.] at least to Nomadic merely a solitude to their enemies. This might be foreseen from the commence ment of the rebellion ; the new Confederacy contained within it two germs of death, slavery and the very principle of secession. The South rose against the North because it believed its favourite institution threatened, and sow, at the end of four years of contest, people begin to talk at Richmond of giving arms to the evicts, and of offering them liberty as the pries of their alliance ! The slave owneee took up arms in the name of the sovereignty of the States, and now the Governor of Georgia plays off that sovereignty spinet the despotism of Richmond, and gives it to be understood that each of the Confederate States can separately make peace with the North! Never has the logic which flows beneath the events of history been MOM imperious or more visible ; nothing has been able to retied its decrees, neither the courage of the Southern armies nor the firmness of that soldier•Prisident, at once military and civil organiser, wound whom there is some thing of a tragic grandeur to which even the most resolute enemies of his canoe cannot remain insensible.

THE ORANGE CELEBRATIONS IN LONDONDERRY. —The quietness with which, up to the present time, the annual celebrations of the Apprentice Boys of Derry have passed off is creditable to the good series and moderation of the classes who formerly allowed themselves to be provoked by these displays. As historic commemorations, they are in themselves quite legitimate. It is natural end laudable that the citizens of Londonderry should feel pride in the virtues of their ancestors. There are few things in British history more heroic than their endurance of the long siege which reduced the number of the garrison by more than half, and brought them to strait.* of famine which only the horrors of the siege of Jerusalem have exceeded. The courage of Walker and the treachery of Lundy are not less worthy of being bold in perpetual remembrance, for honour and disgrace ' than the fidelity and patriotism of Washington and the treason of Arced. But the great memories which dignify the past are diegraoed when they are made pretexts of keeping alive old jealousies, for rekindling uncharitable feelings, and for disturbing the peace of the present time. It is matter for regret that men of all creeds have not felt them selves able to join in the celebration of triumphs which have in the end secured the liberties of all, though they were for a time, and by acci dent, associated with ecclesiastical rivalries. It would be hard to say whether the spirit in which protestants com memorated these events, or that in which citholics de nounced and held aloof from them, was the more irrational and ignorant. We hope that a better understanding is beginning to prevail on both sides. The necessity for abstain ing from popular celebration of historic struggles in Irelthil has, we bold, been real and urgent. We should be glad to thick that that necessity is now partially ceasing, and that the people of at least some portions of Ut-ter are becoming worthy to commemorate great names and great deeds which many have profaned, and continue to profane, by the igno rant sod malignant prostitution of them to the vile palaions and sinister denims of faction.—Norrid,rn THE TRADE IN MISLETGL—Daring the month of December last year the county of Hereford produced an immense supply of misletoe, which was forwarded to Liverpool, Manchester, and many of the adjoining towns. It has been ascertained that about 20 tons were sent from Hereford. 15 from Ledbury 12 from Leornioster ' C. from ' Ludlow, 15 from Ross, and 'altogether above 80 tons from other localities. Many toes were forwarded to foreign enmities, besides many loads of the holly bush. The price paid for the mialetos was from 4a. to the out. Last year there was a greater traffic in this description of produce than on any previous year, but from present appearances it is expected that the trade this year will be still brisker.

An inquiry was held at Walsall, on Tuesday, into the circumstances attending the dea th of Thomas Law, a labourer, who died on Sunday last from the effects of • wound indi cted under very singular circumstances. The evidence was to the effect that on Saturday, the 10th inst. the deceased was holding a pig, which Mr. T. George, btitcher, Stafford-street, was killing, when the animal, in its death struggles, kicked Mr. George's hand. and caused the knife which he held to enter the inner side of the deceased's right arm, 'Oinking • severe wound, and entirely severing the brachial artery. Mr. M. O'Connor, assistant to Mr. Whymper, surgeon, was called in, and subsequently Mr. Whymper himself attended the deceased. Dr. Day, and Mr. Heifers Davies, his as. detest, also visited the unfortunate man at • later period, and the four gentlemen named consulted as to the pro- priety of amputating the injured limb, mortification having then set in. The operation we. deemed inadvisable, and Law continued to sink until Sunday when Le expired. After hearing several witnesses, and the remarks of the learned coroner, the jury found that the wound had bean secodentally caused, and that, accelerated by heart disease, it had resulted in the death of the sufferer.

He was explaining the passage, and applying it with fervour and power, when he wee observed suddenly to stagger and fall. Those present rushed around him and raised him up, when it was found that he had been seized with paralysis, of which some time previously he had had an attack, although not of a character sufficiently severe to compel him to entirely ceasefrom his pastoral and pulpit labours.

The cotton excitement still continues in the Central American States. The worm has made, and is still making, sad havoc among the plants in many places. On the lowland estates, adiaceot to the Bay of La Union, the plants seem less a ff ected by the worm than those higher up , 1 on the side of the volcano, only • mile or two distant. Whether this is due to the difference of temperature, or is merely accidental, experience has not yet determined. It is, however, very certain that at least one estate on the aide of the Talcum has been entirely destroyed by worms, while in the lowlands the damage is comparatively trifling.

The following letter on British violations of neu trality appears in the North American and L ,ited Status Gautk : Sir,—l have just read an article extracted from the Begun Ad vcrtistr, and ascribed to a statesmau of the highest eminence, citing a long list of violation' of nee trelity committed by Great Britain, as a retort to the corn manta of the British prom in the case of the Florida. The writer appears to have been diligent in exploring historical antiquity, and to have been led by hie rematches even into times when you were English citizens, proud of the name, and when the shame of English dishoeour fell oa you. I will not venture to discuss the cases individually, not having the proper means of reference as band. day candid reader will, I think, see that a pretty strenuous effort has been made to press rather reluctant auxiliaries into the service. The seizure of the Danish fleet, for ex ample, betides being a somewhat stale indictment, cannot be cited in answer to a charge of violating a neutral port. It was, if anything, t are of commencing war without good cause and proper deolasstion. If the author of the article will turn to the papers on the subject in Coleridge "Friend," he will see the act defended on grounds of the highest morality by a publicist who was opposed to it as • matter of policy, and who was certainly not a vulgar flat terer of the protons of his countrymen, nor regardless ot the moral law. The general remark which I wish to make is, that of all the oases not one morally pertinent falls within the last hall °eatery. The only two pretended instances within this period are the burning of the Caroline and the seizure of the Banta Cruz. The burning of the Woline was not in any moral sense a violation of a neutral port. It Wag an incident in an irregular border war, broeght on by tie interference of American sympathisers in the Canadian re hellion. The Sent Cruz was alleged, as the writer states. to be engaged in the slave trade, and was seized, Dot from say motive of national interest, or in any spirit of aggres. sion, but in exercise of the high polio, of natiora. Tte exercise of this high police is a delicate matter, and is pretty run to lead to some disputable acts, which, however, if done in good faith, will not taint the general morality of tie nation. It is during the last half century, and since the conclusion of the Napoleonic wan, that moral sentiment has made its greatest progress oo the subject of national rights and obli gation-, and especially in regard to the rights of the weaker nations. No one acquainted with the tone of European morality would believe a government capable now of doing what governments were capable of doing in the time of the Frooch Convention. Yon are citing deeds done in compa rative darkneu, to warrant you Maiming against meridian light. The last great precedent in the isternatioaal history of England is the voluntary cession of the lonian Island; which had been put into her pomades half • century before. Such an act proves, in the eyes of all candid judges, that the old age of aggreesion and violence, with all Its pie. oadenta, is rapidly being numbered with the past. As charges against English honour, cases half a century old are irrelevant. You nowt push the figurative per venality of a nation so far. Scarcely an Englishman is alive who could by any passibility have been implicated in the capture of the Essex, and no man believes that, if that act ' was what it is represented on your side to have been, there is • single Englishman at the present time capable of resenting to its perpetration. In the coun sels of Providence the sins of the fathers are Tinted on the children—but, before a human tribunal, the sins of the fathers must be ratified by the children before they can be laid to their door. When praising the liberty of councilmen enjoyed in this country, I have encountered the objection that the New Englanders persecuted the Quakers ; but I have not paid much respect to the objection. It is not to be forgotten, either, that risco the time referred to, the English parliament has bees reformed, and something I I like the sentiment of the nation has begun to prevail is the counsels of our government. Before that time we were ruled by an oligarchy, whose proceedings were sometimes as violent abroad as their government was oppressive at home. Legally, of course, this change does not affect our identity or our continuous responsibility as • nation, bat morally it don. And you have need yourselves of the same equitable consideration. You would be sorry to be taxed as a free nation with all the international acts of your lets slave-owning government. I might, perhaps, from the history of those seta, cull the materials of • retort to the writer is the Bestow ddrcriiser. But Ido not wish to he familiar with the criminal records of nations. Let the dead put bury its dad—and let us, as wisdom and generosity alike prescribe, rejoice in the improved morality of the living. Suppose England to be bad as you will—to be as bees as your fathers thought her glorious—it is not in the presence of England aloes that you stand in deciding between honour sad dishooonr. It is in presence of the whole nom. musity of nations, sad those who, instead of recalling to your minds at this most critical moment of your moral life the high principles of civilised morality sad the brighter examples of your own history, divert your eyes to the had precedents of evil times, conspire, however unintentionally. with that one of the two contending voices in the national breast which tempts you to take the downward path.
