The Skating Club has been in a state d intense anxiety all day leaf a thaw should occur to mar the mud nocturnal fete arranged for this evening 01 1 1 Bois de Boulogne la k e. The little snow that has fallen has diminished the biting cold which existed as long as it was impending in the air. At noon the temperature was quite pleasant, and running water Mille gutters of several centra l streets led to the impression that the frost was going away. At four o clock this afternoon, however, I saw Che valier's thermometer on the Pont Neuf marking degrees below Zero. I walked a good way allg the quays on both sides of the river, and obeery that except at the weir near the Pont Neuf, where the water was bubbling, the rapid stream wes completely froren over in' every part. It is 34 years since such an event was seen. To-day police men were stationed at the heads of all the dab- cases leading down to the river to prevent the ' public from going upon it, otherwise numbers of would have attempted the passage.

It contradicts those persons who emdea your to discover a hidden meaning and reserves in the assurances of friendship exchanged openly and frankly between the Emperor and Count von der Oohs. The same journal refutes the rumour that the Emperor, in the reception of the legislative body, dwelt in a particular manner upon the urgency of the bill relative to the organization of the army, and its necessity as a guarantee for the safety of the country.

LISBON, JA.v._s. ITALY. FLORENCE, JAN. 5. • . . Count von Usedom, the Prussian ambassador, I had a special audience of the King this morning, 1 when he presented his credentials as ambassador of the North German Confederation. Count von Usedom, in addressing the King, said :—" The King of Prussia believed that he was acting agree ably to his Majesty's wishes in following the same course with Italy as with the other great powers in this matter. The King of Prussia trusted that King Victor Emmanuel would extend to the North German Confederation the same good will and friendly relatiosa which the King of Prussia had always cultivated with Italy." King Victor Emmanuel, in reply, expressed his satisfaction at the cordial sentiments conveyed by Count von Usedom, and declared his wish to con tinue on the same friendly footing with the North German Confederation as previously existed be- tween Italy and Prussia. Count von Hompesch, the Bavarian minister, afterward/ presented his letters of recall. The i count proceeds as minister to London. THE NEW ITALIAN MINISTRY. FLORENCE, JAL 5, EVR.VENG. The new Cabinet was formed today as follows : —General Menabrea, President and Minister of Foreign Affairs ; Senator Cardona, Minister of the Interior ; Count Cambray Digny, Minister of Finance ; Major-Generakßertoli Visle, Minister of War ; Deputy De Filippo, Minister of Justice ; Signor Broglie, Minister of Public Instruction and Commerce ; Count Cantelli, Minister of Public Works; Admiral Ribotti, Minister of Marine. The three new ministers —namely, Cardona, De Filippo, and Ribotti, took the oath of allegiance to the King this evening. The Minister of Finance will make a financial statement very shortly after the re-assembling of the parliament. _ THE ERITPTION OF VESUVIUS. NAPLIS, JAN. 4. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius yesterday assumed alarming proportions. An immense cur rent of lava has overflowed the central cone, and is now skirting the hill on tho west and north-west, and approaching the village of Cercola. Constant shocks and detonations are occurring. Great panic prevails in the villages on the slopes of Vesuvius. NAPLES, JAN. 5, Evrxixo. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius is still increas ing in intensity. The torrent of lava follows the same direction as during the eruptions of 1858, 1859, and 1860, and separates into two branches. The northern branch passes close to the Observatory, approaching Resin ; the southern branch takes the direction approaching Terra del Greco. PORTUGAL The following is the correct list of the new Por tuguese Ministry :—Count d'Avila, President, Mi nister of the Interior and Foreign Affairs ; Vis count Beabrea, Minister of Justice ; JOll4 Dias Ferreira, Minister of Finance ; General Jose Maria de Magalltaens, Minister of War ; General Jose Rodriguez Caelho do Amaral, Minister of Marine ; Councillor &beetle° do Couto, a Castro Massa• renhas, Minister of Public Works.

I have just seen several boatmen whose craft are frozen up• walking about quite unconcerned oter the deepest part •of the stream. It is rumoured that if the frost Lolds-till to-morrow the Skating Club will ask ?emission to transfer their operations from the Bois de Boulogne to the Seine. It would be • great thing to talk of, but the surface of the river is far too rough to offer a good field for skating. The marks of slides made by people who went on the frosen water before the police inter fered may yet be seen in many places, but nowhere is there so much as a square yard free from lumps of ice which few skates could get through. Should, however, the frost continue and increase in intensity sufficiently to enable the ice to bear crowds without danger, it will no doubt be possible for pioneers to clear away inequalities and make a sufficient smooth space for skaiing. Building operations are completely suspended by the cold, and this in a Paris still in course of " Hauesmanisation "is no slight thing. At Lyons, notwithstanding its more southern latitude, the cold has been two or three degrees greater than in Paris. Navigation is entirely impeded in the " rapid " Rhone, and the Saone is quite frozen over. The Muniteur speaks of " a certain num ber" of broken arms and legs in the hos pitals occasioned by falls in the streets. Here is another instance of the unreliability I lately alluded to of all the news which appears in the Paris papers under the head of " Fait divers," which may be loosely translated " acci dents and offences." It was lately stated, and no doubt English papers have repeated the news, that Nardi, one of the Italian briends sentenced to death by the Aix court, had died in prison. The statement is now contradicted. Let me say, re turning to • subject which I have already touched upon at some length, that Ido not reproach the French press with those occasional inevitable mis takes which no journalist can avoid. But what I assert is, that outside the political line which ren ders • paper liable to prosecution for false news, editors do not take common pains to exclude false hoods from their columns. Truth for its own sake does not seem to be a commodity of any market able value. The Bourse opened with some animation, but eitersmasis- become dell as weal of tate.

About ten minutes past 5 o'clock oa Saturday morning last • shock of an earthquake was observed in the valley of the Parrett, between Langport and Stoke-sub-Hamdon. At Martock a low rumbling noise was heard, which lasted for a few seconds, and beds and houses simultaneously shook. At Tintinhull and Stoke-sub-Hanackm the shock was felt, the noise being described ss similar to something flying rapidly past the windows. At East Lambrook the houses were shaken, and people were awoke by the rattling of the glass and of the furniture in their bedrooms. At Seavingtou the postman dietinntly heard the shock, which resembled a train passing the house at full speed. At Compton, South Fetherton, the shock was felt by several persons, and one woman was so much frightened that she either fell or rolled out of bed. At Muchelney and Sings bury, near Langport, people were awoke by the rattling of lamps and windows. The morning was fine and treaty, with no wind. There bas been a rumour circulated in the county during the peat weak that the Fenisas had visited Yeovil, and :eft • barrel of gunpowder at the railway station. Several persons at Tintinhall upon hearing the noise imagined she gunpowder had exploded. This will give some idea of the mature of the shook.

The seizure, which was in the nature of a St, created great alarm in his lordship's household, and messengers were dempatehed fee the family medical atteadent, Dr. Ballast, who was promptly in atteridsnes.

The movement ocatineed ; and lest week the ordinary stook of the Coin- peal sold for as little as 69. A lees serious lom' than this might well move shareholders to demmad an inquiry into the state of their property, ark accordingly, a few months ago Mr. Tnoies• RICILIMION, Mr. Worms Biuza, and Mr. Wilaram firms of Glasgow, and Mr. Cilantro Cowrie, of Edinburgh, were appointed a Coss` mittes of Inquiry. These gentlemen, three of whom are merchants and the fourth an actuary, have gone thoroughly into the accounts of the lest two years, personally examining the books, and exa mining the auditors and officials of the Company, besides availing themselves of the assistanse of eminent professional men to report both on the accounts of the Company andits material property, the permanent way and rolling stock. The result shows that, apart from fluctuations in market I value and adverse operations of the Stock Ex change, there were goodgrounds for the demand for an investigation, and that it has not taken place a moment too soon. On the other hand, the Report, while exposing much that is =- justifiable in the past policy of the directors, and in particular an erroneous and delusive method in dealing with the account'', establishes in a most ilictory manner the inherent soundness of the re p Perty- To begin with the accounts, and with the ques tion now uppermost in the mind of every share holder : Have the dividends been fairly entered f The answer must be—No ; very far from it. The Accountants show that in the Caledonian Railway Company capital has been debited with expendi ture which ought to have been charged to revenue, which, on the other band, has been over-credited. The Committee, after allowing seine charges against capital which the Accountants had rejected, still find that the deductions which ought to be made from Revenue, and the additional charges Irtifett etrght-trebe -mule against it, amount, for the two years under review, to 207,6801. The total deficiency on revenue account during those years is, according to the Accountants, 301,8201. The Committee make some considerable deductions from this sum, which reduce it to 200,2671., and this sum, added to the deficiency applicable to the period prior to 31st July, 1866, gives a total of 312,7031. improperly paid in dividends to the Shareholders. The Committee's judgment, as it affects the excess of dividend, may be thus stated : 17(tar ending July Year ending 1866. July 1867. Dividend as distributed by the directors £7 7 6 pr. et. £5 17 6 pr. et. Dividendaetuelly aimed 62 0 „ 218 2 „ Excess ive payment to sbareholden E2 5 6 „ £219 4 „ The calculations on which these conclusions area based, and the principles of railway finance which have been applied in assigning expenditure to capital and revenue, and capital respectively, will of course be well considered by the shareholders, and' may not improbably be challenged by the directors, whose administration is thus impugned. It is to be observed, however, that the Committee have been leas strict in their judgment upon them matters than the Accountants, and that their de liverance is that of gentlemen interested in the remunerative character of the line. It is pleasant to turn from this painful laxity to that part of the Committee's report which deals with the Railway as an estate to be maenad, and • machine to be worked. The working of the line, the Committee have satisfied themselves, is in good hands. The permanent way, and the works generally, are in good order, and have been efficiently and economically maintained. The authoritative opinion of Mr. Hawirsa•w is, that with such exception as may be taken to the state of the Scottish North Eastern Section and four small branches of the Scottish Central Division, " the lines of the Caledonian system are equal in " condition to the best of our English railways." The rolling stock, again, is ample, a result, how ever, to which a false principle of finance has con tributed. The efficiency of the stock is in great manure due to the addition, during the last four years, of new engines, when a sounder policy would have adapted or replaced the old. But the new engines might be, and were , paid for out of capital, whereas repair or replacement of the old ones must have been charged to revenue. The recommendations of the Committee have re ference to placing capital and revenue in a truer relation to each other, not accepting the results of past errors, but, as far as practicable, reforming them ; to the establishment of a more thorough and responsible system of audit ; to the abandon meet of all works which can be relinquished without evident injury to the undertaking ; to the substitution of agreements with other companies for disastrous competition and rivah7 ; and as a security for the adoption of a better policy, a re construction of the Board of Directors. Of these recommendations, the first mentioned is of most immediate interest to that large class of share holders who depend upon dividends se an exclusive or principal source of income. We have seen that the lowest sum et which the amount erroneously paid to the shareholders in the shake of dividends eau be taken 312,703i. Of this sum the Canatitase propose 112,4881., the deficiency which existed in July, 1865, when the Company was reconstructed, be recognised as a charge to capital ; that 98,2281., the balance re maining at the credit of the premium account, be tesniferred to the credit of the deficiency ; and, • - - - . - Darviouar 4 tnir 091101128427021.

An inquest was held on Saturday at the Queen's Head Tavern, Camberwell, on Catherine Rawlinp aged 45 years. The evidence went to show that the deCtasad had for a long time past been in a very weak Mate. and she told a neighbour that she and her three children lived upon bread and water, and her husband never gave her either food or money. Mr. J. Norris, a surgeon, said he had attended the deceased, who died from itenesmplion. She told him that she and her children were starving, sad he gave them some bread and meat. The children said they bad had nothing to eat for two or three days. When he examised her after death the stomach wee quite empty. One of the deceased's children was called is. Hs was a boy of eight years old, and upon being cpseMiceed he said that hie mother had lived upon bread and water for about two years, and the children had shared It with her. On Cheistmas-day hie father went out to spend his money. The inquiet was adjourned. On Saturday an inquiry was held by Mr. piney., coroner, at the Al laden Castle Tavern, Victoria park, relative to the suicide of Charles/Kaman, a weaver, 41 yeses of ago. Susannah Morgan, $ Thou:wannest, Mile-end New Town, said that the deceased was her husband.

During the whole of last week the county magis trates attached to the Rochester division held sittings daily in Chatham dockyard for the purpose of swearing in special theitiables from among the officers and workmen for the special defence of the govaament establishments. The total number sworn in daring the week was 3,040. which includes near}, the whole of the officers and work men of the yard. Up to the premed time it is calculated that between 5,000 sad 0.000 speethl constables have bees sworn in at Chatham and Rochester. All the blank and ball ammunition belonging to the Ist Suffolk (Ipeasisk) Volunteers has been removed from the mapialse at the cavalry barracks, Ipswich, to the district =eras at Harwich. This measure has been takes by order of theWsectficie authorities. The arms and ammunition belonging to the local pensioners had been previously removed to the militia depot where pram tionary measures have been taken for the bettor protection of the place. On Friday night great excitement was occasioned in Shrewsbury, and especially in the crowded neighbour hood adjoining the railway *With, by • rumour to the effect that • Fenian plot had been discovered for blowing up the statism. It is not easy to arrive at the melee character of the information upon which the authorities acted ; but it is certain that on Friday evening they re ceived an intimation which had the effect of inducing them to take prompt measures for defeating the alleged con =Two large sewers underlie the station—one being le from the river rile and the other from the town aide, and it was stated by the informer that five barrels of gunpowder had been placed in these sewers, and that on Friday night means would be taken for exploding them. A gang of platelayers was at once set to work, end the outlet of each of the sowers was securely blocked up with railway sleepers. A guard was also organised within the station, and • strict wee* kept throughout the night ; but nothing of a suspicious character is reported as having transpired. There are a proportionately large number of Irish amongst the population of Shrewsbury ; but they have never manifested any Fenian proclivities, and it is difficult to believe that the whole a ff air was otherwise than • hoax. Special constables have been sworn in, and pre cautions taken for the safety of the militia arms which are stored in the town. A rather important discovery has been made at Dowlais al s large box of ride cartridges and percussion caps. They were enclosed in a tin box marked FS ; but attempts hat evidently been made to erase these marks. The whole was,found concealed near one of the furnace tips, ia the thigithearimied el the works, and the both! bold by the authorities is that some Fenian had put them there, dreading the vigilant search that is now taking place in all directions. At the eve of despatching our re port, rumours reach us of a discovery of a quantity of so called Greek tire at Dowlais, but this has not been con firmed. As there are many tons of gunpowder always kept in stock by the Dowlala Company, the liveliest ap prehension has been awakened respecting it, especially as suspicious persons have been seen in the vicinity of he powder-house. Fortunately, a prudential step has just beth Inside, and the powder removed to extensive vaults underneath Kodak Castle, a large ruin amongst the moun tains. There, even if blown up, no loss of life or destruction of house property would take place, as would have luippeath by the retention of the old stores. Another thoughtful measure is also to be recorded. The Dodds men are paid on Saturdays, the money being had from one of the Mer th yr beaks. Until latterly the cashier boa been deemed quite sufficient protection, though the awn taken greasily averaged 8,0001. to 10,0001. in gold and silver. But on Sathrday Mr. Superintendent Wrenn and an armed escort convoyed the eas,h to its destination. in the con , tkonnoe of much excitement in the place and the preva lence of starling rumours, the authorities have wisely resolved to take every care of the Fenian. now in custody, in their transit from Cardiff Gaol to Merthyr (to-day) for trial. As they are fourteen in number, comprising a head centre and two captains, • military force will aid the dined police force, both en mite, and in the critical pas sage from the railway station to the police court. In Liverpool, notwithstanding the uneasy feeling which prevails in the outlying threads, there appears to be anything but • " Fad= feeling." In Birkenhead, where there are • screatnuather of navvies employed at the dock works, the local authorities, actingupou informa tion received, swore in several hundred special conseablee on Saturday last—Dot that they feared an immediate Fenian rising, but in order to be on guard. The peace of the town is also attributable to the fact that the recent northwest winds have mut into the Mersey a number of ships which had for some time been lying outside the chops of the ChanneL During last week there were 2:10 ships at work in the dock, employing 7,000 men. On the whole, the general tone of affairs in Liverpool, so far se Fenian is concerned, is of the most unassuming the. ./1/1 had I meter.

He believed the police had been communicated with, but to whet ex tent the fraud bad been carried ea be did not know. He might may that there was no such fund being raised as the City Press Fund at all. The said of a highly respectable merchant in Themes-street bad been used as that of • party who had contributed, and by that means others bad been induced to give subscriptions, but none of these maceye would be sent to the explosion fund. The Lord Mayor thanked Mr. Do Jersey for making the statement, and hoped • stop would be put to the proceedings refer to by him.
