LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30. CHRISTMAS is come and gone—if not with the bracing frosts and the thickly lying snow which send men shivering to their own bright hearths, and almost force them to remember those that glow with no such kindly blaze, yet with • louder even than its common call upon our social sym pathies. Autumn has passed quietly into winter, almost without a warning ; the dark, damp days have gradually become darker and damper ; the leaves have slowly fluttered to the ground ; the mist and the rain have week by week grown more frequent and more chill. But we dare not infer from this mild Christmas that for once we have escaped the clutch of winter: the heavy snows of January, the long dry frosts of February and March, and the cutting east winds of what ought to be spring, yet lie in wait to undeceive us. And while winter always brings with it a host of new claims to the benevolence of the rich, the prospect before us now is dreary indeed. The industry of our richest and most prosperous province has been stricken with sudden paralysis ; nearly half a million of workers—who held themselves at a height of in dependent comfort far above the common level of their class—are now receiving daily bread at the hand of charity. The tale has been told so often, that it needs not now to tell it again. With all its external aspects we are familiar : the smoke• less chimney, the idle machinery ; the house growing bare of furniture, the beds without ne cessary covering ; threadbare clothes and shoeless feet, hopeless mothers and hungry little ones—have all made in their turn • not wholly ineffectual appeal to our hearts. The evil still remains in undiminished proportion : the best news which statisticians have to give us is, that now things have probably come to the worst, and may therefore be reasonably expected to begin to mend ; while every week the local springs of relief are giving unmis takeable signs of failure. But this is far from being the whole of the task which lies before us. Glasgow has felt the blow under which Man chester is prostrate ; the stockingers of Hinck ley have sunk to a lower than their common depth of destitution ; the ribbon weavers of Coventry are uttering their old, sad cry of dis tress ; a wail of misery comes from the wet oat fields and storm-beaten hills of Skye. In every large city throughout the land, the poor, who are always with us, make their wonted appeal : the squalid courts of Spitalfielda, the filthy closes of the Cowgate, need, now as ever, all that Christian charity and patience can do, to purify and to cheer them. 1.7p0n what need shall the liberal heart first spend itself—to what labour the ready hand first apply its strength? To Lancashire, at least, we may look with some just complacency—if, indeed, a just complacency in matters of benevolence be possible—as we abandon ourselves to the festive thoughtlessness which, by common consent, is held to befit the season. Throughout the distressed district the rate of re lief has been gradually raised from week to week, until it has reached, in most towns, the highest level on which it can be maintained without inter ference with the interests of returning work. Abundant stores of clothing and bedding have been accumulated, and are being distributed with a quickness and regularity which will soon leave but few wants unsupplied. The sentiment of Christmas has kindly and powerfully moved in the hearts of the Mansion-house Committee, and a special grant of eightpence a head enabled every distressed family to banish on Thursday, at least for a few hours, the necessity of rigid thrift. With all this, the Manchester Central Committee report a balance in the bank of some 270,0001., and sub scriptions are still pouring in with undiminished rapidity. While, at the same time, the LORD MAYOR is receiving and distributing funds with a liberal hand, the whole expenditure of the Relief Committees for the week ending December 20th, was about 25,0001. On the fair supposition, therefore, that this week may be taken as the ave rage of the next two months, the Manchester Committee have already sufficient funds in hand to keep up the present rate of expenditure for , ten weeks more, or until the middle of March. I But, if to this we add the uncertain amount o f I the London balance, and the suns arising from local subscriptions or otherwise, already in the bands of the various Relief Committees, it will be seen that the wants of the first quarter of 18631 are already provided for. These considerations, be it observed, furnish no excuse for staying our hands. To those who have at all studied the conditions of a successful manu facturing industry, it must be clear that the but we can hope for Lancashire, for many months to come, is half work. Half work means half wages for the employed, and for the employer • certain steady outflow of capital—circumstances which will necessarily combine to depress the cotton district below the point of self-depsndenos. But the present action of the Relief Com mittees, and the balances held by their bankers, may very justifiably remind no of the other claims upon our kindness which Christmas brings with it —especially in so far as they are susceptible of a temporary satisfaction. It has been urged, not always generously, upon Lancashire men, that upon them lay the first responsibility of sucoouring Lancashire distress. Let not the inhabiter& of happier regions now forget to take the lesson to themselves. We shall effect only a partial good— if not indeed in some respects a real evil—if the half-worn clothing which is awn away to cover nakedness in the North leaves nakedness at home shivering in the frost. In depreciation of persona self-denial we have not a word to say ; the gift most emphatically twice blessed is that which costa a genuine sacrifice. But our first duty is to see that no excitement of charity leads us di to neg lect any obscure bat customary office of benevo lenoe. Let no poor pensioner who has long looked forward to the remains of our Christmas hospitality, to the reversion of our cast-off cloth ing, to the annual gift which alone places within his resch the possibility of seasonable comfort, turn disappointed from our door. Let no well considered and long-tried agency of beneficence be compelled this winter to narrow its operations for want of the funds which have streamed northwards. There is neither moral nor econo mical gain in neglecting one duty in favour of another, simply because in the latter case the claim of conscience is backed by all the argu ments of sympathy. In an old, and yet a hard saying, is contained a deep mystery of dutiful ness :—" These ought ye to have done, and not to " leave the other undone." THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER • 30, 1862. 'be Court. OSBORNE, DIC. 29. Owing to the unfavourable state of the weather the Queea was unable to leave the house this morning. Despatches were repaired yeaterday at the Colonial-offloe from the Governors of the Cape of Good Hope, Natal, St. Helena, and Canada. Despatches were sent to the Goren:tore of Malta, the Manritine, Ceylon, Hong Kong, Labium, and the Australian colonies. The Marquis of Bristol has been entertaining a family party at Ickworth Park. Ameept the company were the Earl and Countess Jermyn, Lord and lady Au gustus Her►ey, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey, Mr. Conway Bey moor, km _ _ _ The Countess (Dowager) of Westmoreland and Lady lice* Paw arrived is Portman4quare Let eves*/ from Brighton. Lord and Lady Norreyi are expected in town early next week from Townley Hall. Lancashire. _ _ _ . Stir Archibald and Lady Alison have arrived at Rutland-gate, the residence of Colonel Alison, from Posed Home, Lanarkshire. It is rumoured that a baronetcy is about to be coaferred on Mr. William Brown, of Liverpool Lord Palmerston has been appointed president of a society for the protection of erlinon in the river Test in Hampshire. The friends of Charles Tottenham, Fol., M.P., will (says the Dublin Evening Mail) be glad to learn that he is recovering from the severe attack of illness from which be hu been lately suffering. Mr. Tottenham is at present at his seat, Ballyeurry, Ashford, where Lieutenant-Colonel Tottenham has also arrived. The Holy Congregation of the "Index " at Rome has just outlawed the following works :—" Lectures de Ec clesiastical Rights, for the use of the Students of Turin ; " "Church Catechism," by Begno•i, honorary bishop of that church ; " Introduction to Philosophy," and " Antenes," • philosophical review, both published at Monaco ; and " The Christian Proceedings of the Actual Roman Inquisition," being an answer to the falsehoods of the Armonia, by P• Moogini, priest. Mr. Robert Hunt, high sheriff of the city of Limerick, visited the city gaol on Tuesday, and from his private purse paid off the debts due of all the pauper debtors, who were then liberated, in order to enjoy the Christmas with their families ; and, in addition, he placed at the disposal of the governor of the prison a slim of money to assist the ostgoing debtors in enjoying their Christmas. The King of the Belgians appears in the enjoy ment of better health. His Majesty came from Laeken to Brussels two days back, and attended divine service at the palace, and in the afternoon received several persons of distinction, returning to Laeken in the evening. _ In the recently-publiabed volume of the corre spondence of Napoleon 1., there is a very curt reply of the Emperor to a person who had offered to sell him a chateau. It runs thus :—" I have already more chateaux than I know what to do with, and don't want yours." The ceremonial to be observed at the new year'. presentation at the Tuileries is as usual laid down in the Moniteur. A Paris correspondent says :—" The trains this season will be, as they were last winter, very long. The Empress is particularly desirous that they should be so, as she hopes thereby to diminish the number of ladies who generally avail themselves of their right to go to the Tuile ries on New Year's-day. Trains are always difficult things to manage when the wearers are not followed by train bearers. Bat with an additional metre to their length it will be almost impossible to back out of the presence of a pair of majesties without something very awkward hap pening. A prefect's wife got her foot entangled in several yarde of velvet at the last new year's presentation, and in consequent's had such a very ungraceful fall that all the assistants would have let their risible muscles contract as much as they were inclined, were there not an Emperor, an Empress, and a grand chamberlain present, before whom it was necessary to look as unmoved as though the lady had made her retiring curtsey with all due ease and grace fulness." The Paris Monde alludes in the following short mange to Viscount de la GrieronniZre's last article in the France, and contrives, whilst sneering at its extreme length, to include in the censure expressed another writer of the Paris press, who has not been so fortunate as to secure to himself any great amount of popularity among his content poraries :—" The hon. viscount is publishing in the France a series of interminable articles on the empire, the bour geoisie, the elections, the press, ha. Those articles contain very honeyed words for all classes and for all parties, but as to their conclusions, it is difficult to discover them. The sena tor is, par excellence, a great collector of clouds ; happily those clouds do not contain thunder, nor do they dissolve into fertilising showers ; they still remain in their nebulous state. It is only M. Emile de Girardin who can throw any tight into them, It being the property of a vacuum to re move vapours." Mme. Poitevin, the well-known aeronaut, made an ascent three days back at Per, accompanied by a young gentleman of that town. The weather was favour able, and the balloon, owing to the e ff ect of contrary cur rents in the atmosphere, remained in sight the whole time, passing twice over the town, and at last descending in • garden in the Rue des Cultivateurs. The greatest height attained was 1,800 metres. The amateur aeronaut, who was delighted with Lis trip, xtatel that the view he obtained of the Pytenem was magn;ficsnt beyond descrip tion. A letter from St. Petersburg of the 22nd speaks of the appearance there of a journAl called the Jo mina.: of Lorena ; or, the Demimonde. The publication is pew witted by the censor, "as it contains nothing againat the government or religion." The vacant throne of Greece !supplies Charieari with some amusing earicathres. The lest one represents a number of frogs in the Greek dress clamouring for a stork, which wears in its hat the feathers of a British general, as their king. The extraordinary increase in the price of paper in America is stated to be in part owing to a combination of large manufacturers, who aim to secure permanent control of the market. Almost every journal in the country hu increased its price, and many periodicals have done the same. Books, also, are higher pried. The New York publishing houses talk of suspend ing all hominess for six months, and, should they set the axample, the publishers in other cities would have to fol low it. Mr. Rarey, the horse-tamer, has beau appointed Oommissiooer of Hones in the Federal States. His first official act was to go to the army of the Potonuo under Burnside. There be inquired fully into the health of the horses. and bu 'mingled ane system to cheek the morta lity among times. Jusmolts NOR JANUARY. —*-- . (From Le MA) The fashionable world bag now returned to Pis* and opportunities for admiring as well as describing "La Mods" are ntunsimes. We will ammo= this month with • description of some new mantles, OA we would recom mend, as the most dieinguees, those of plush made with sleeves, and • loose back. Some are made of violet plush, lined with quilted black taffetas. A silk cord, to match, is placed all round the edge of the mantle. A thicker cord, with tassels, fastens it toge ther in front just nods, the little (roller ; the same shaped mantle is also made in golden-brown plush, lined and trimmed to match, and also in aluminium grey plush, lined with white quilted teffetai. Collets of black velvet, trimmed round with • deep guipure, are also worn. Rich embroidered medallions are placed round the mantle, and between these and the lace, • kind of mossy trimming formed of black feathers, which hue • very elegant effect Fur, as • trimming, is still greatly in favour; et is, per haps, more generally worn on bleak velvet, but ermine or chinchilla may be and with violet, blue, brown, or drab. Zibeline and sable are always fashionable. Astra = should be of the beet quality, that of an in ferior kind has become so extremely common. Both rotondes and peletOts are made this winter in woollen velvet At present, poplin and taffetas are the materials most in vogue for simple toilette. Visiting dresses are much more luxurious; they are composed of splendid moire, rich brocatelle, China satins of cheveux de la Rein., light-brown colour, faded rose leaf, or Mexican blue. Generally, these magnificent robes, being of so thick • material, have very little ornament. The skirts are full, and cut pointed, forming a very decided train. The trim ming of passementerie for the body is frequently put on like • emote Figaro. Scotch plaid poplins are much worn, especially by children. Velvet dreams are trimmed with grecques, festoons, or bends of velvet ; these are, of course, of black on coloured robes, and coloured on black, and are always edged on each side, either with a guipure ruche, or with stars and banging drops of passementerie. In the muddy weather, of which we have bad so much lately, the fashion of the petticoat becomes quite an im portant matter. First, there are those of =bemire of different shades, red, grey, magenta, blue, groseill., lie. At the bottom of the skirt a tuysute of the same, with two rows of black and white braid ; and, above this, a narrow pion of black silk, braided with white. Then there are the skirt, of woollen serge. They are made in all colours ; and above the hem is placed • band of leather, about the width of an ordinary pion ; upon this bend a row of steel buttons ; and at the bottom • binding of leather. Theme skirts are, perhaps, • little I la Amazon ; but they have this advantage—the dust an so easily be brushed off the leather. In Paris, they are called an English fashion; but it is believed destined to greet snoosee. The newest style is of white oschemire, with medallions of black velvet ; and round the bottom, • black ribbon, embroidered with white grecques, and edged with narrow plisses of ribbon. Perhaps, the skirt, mode of quilted taffeta, are those to which the word comfortable may be the mat properly applied—at this season of the year. Tarlatan and tulle will be still in great favour. Many =latexes are made with dowers or spots and stripes of ' coloured velvet, either black, blue, rose, red, Am. A charming material also for full dress is the foulard. No thing is prettier than a foulard with the ground of porce lain, blue, rose, pale green, mauve, or black Bowers on white ground. The white foulards are very beautiful, and even more finely fabricated than some silks ; supple ness and firmness are united in them ; and it is impossible to tear or crumple a dress of Indian foulard of first•rate quality. A plain white foulard, trimmed with blue, rose' de Chine, or light green, is exceedingly pretty and simple, especially suitable for • young girl. Among the newest bonnets, we may mention • capot of white crape, the drawing far apart, trimmed with • curtain of plain velvet, blue, Solferino of Levan ; the front edge also of velvet ; at the side • large rosette of black lace, in which is placed • bunch of flowers in velvet, the same shade as the curtain, mixed with the enda of ostrich feathers, forming • fringe. These bonnets are sometimes trimmed with • simple bouquet of curled feathers, or one Bat feather. A very elegant bonnet of pink royal velvet was trimmed with a marl of white tulle, placed acres' the front and fas tened at the top under a bouquet of pink velvet flowers, with brown velvet leaves, and thick twigs : a bouquet of the lame flowers in the cap. Pick satin strings. A plain white crape, covered with several fold. of crape, and a wide blonde. Drapery of white crape, hullaued with a white curled feather. Green velvet bonnet, trimmed with a fanchon of lace placed very backward, trimmed at the side with • bunch of green and black curled feathers. Wide strings of green velvet, with narrower ones of black lace. Mauve velvet bonnet, quilted, trimmed with • long feather the same colour. White flowers in the cap, and white ribbon strings. An emerald green velvet bonnet, curtain formed with • double fanchon of white blonde ; at the side • full drapery of the same velvet, trimmed with black lace, forming • large coquille. A pouf of lace and bouquet of rosebuds in the inside. A bonnet of black velvet, trimmed with a coquille of blonde, fastened with a butterfly bow of blue velvet, placed on the front ; the same trimming in the cap. Wide strings of black velvet, with narrower of blue velvet over. A blue velvet bonnet, with curtain of tulle, edged with a frilling of velvet, and covered with two small barbes of blonde. The edge of tulle is covered with blonde, and • very full ostrich feather forms a kind of fringe, falling at the aide. Wide strings of blue ribbon. A bonnet of La Valliere plush, trimmed with an aigrette of white blonde, fastened with a bouquet of Valli;:re ram and periwinkles. Wide strings of pink satin. A violet velvet bonnet; a wide white ribbon placed round the edge forming the strings. The curtain of white taffetas covered with black tulle, edged with fringe. Oa the front are placed two white feathers, the curled ends fallmg over the edge of the bonnet ; on each side of the feathers are placed large MOMS rose-buds. White blonde cap, trimmed with black velvet ribbon. BOUM of our modistes have been using fur as a trimming for bonneta, but it is not at all generally employed, though it has • very pretty effect. The fun used are chinchilla, ermine, and swansdown. Felt bonnets are also worn ; • very pretty on. was trimmed with • velvet curtain the ease colour as the bon net, which was drab ; on the front, a full piece of velvet, ending at the sides in two bows, sod fastening ; two ostrich feathers. The strings of piece velvet were cut on the blab, lined with silk, and edged with lace. In the inside, • quil ling of Mexican blue velvet and coquilles of black lace. Wreaths are much worn, although more simple head dresses are still much in favour, such as • simple bow of velvet or lace between the bandeaux, with an enamelled comb in the back hair, or a bow and long ends of velvet or lace. For full dress, a garland of faded leaves, forming as aigrette, oa pee side, of moss roses in the midst of bade. . A wreath of forget.ms-nota, with a roes es the fordo* or of small briar-roses, mixed with lobelia, is exceedingly becoming to a young face. An 'lngot wreath may also be formed with white came llia ; or white and red camelias mixed, have a good effect ; or of Trianon roses, mixed with leaves pondre ; or a still prettier wreath, formed of pink acacia, mixed with small white feathers, and long red and green grass. This wreath had • long branch falling gracefully over the neck. MANCHESTER UNITY OF ODD FELLOWS. —The annual meeting of the North London District was held at Auderton's Hotel, Fleet-street, yesterday, 67 delegates from lodges being present. K.G. Woods read the auditors' report, from which it appeared that the deaths during the half-year bad been 48 males and 32 females, causing an ex. peediture of 76W., and that the neoweary levy upon the 8,571 subscribing members had been is. &I. each.

The Ofwial Gazette of Turin publishes a circular Which has been addressed by the Ifinizter of the Interior to the prefects of the kingdom, tracing the Melt= by which they are to put a stop to such tumultuous scenes as have been witnessed lately in some of the theatres of the large cities. M. Peruzzi observes that, though the national govern ment can attach no political importance to demon strations of this kind, the rights of the private in dividual who goes to a play to enjoy it must be respected, and the police authorities ought there fore to see that the performance is executed with out any change in the programme. ROME. "Our correspondence from Rome," says the Temps, " announces the election and the approach ing meeting of the provincial council of Rome and Comarque. On this subject it is well to bear in mind the following considerations. In the system, hitherto unapplied, of the Roman elections, the voters, who are extremely few in number, choose, or, rather, present, the municipal council ; this nominates the provincial council, and this I last the committee of finances. Up to the present time the electors have not operated ; they have not taken any actual part. These, then, are the municipal councils, named by authority, which have chosen the provincial council of Rome and Comarque. That has not a shadow of importance. It may be added that the provincial councils existed under Gregory XVI., and that their functions have notoriously been more modest since the days of Gaeta than they were under the pre ceding pontiff. Such is the exact truth with regard to what is announced. We would rather see the Vatican defiant than thus casting dust in our eyes." SWEDEN. The Swedish Chambers have just adopted a bill presented by the government to authorise marriages between Christians and Jewa. The passing of this measure, which has caused a certain impres sion in Sweden, is generally considered as a first step towards civil marriages, of which a member of the Upper Chamber has just, by a special mo tion, demanded the introduction into the constitu tion. GIBRALTAR. We read in the Prase of to-day : Letters from Spain mention an extraordinary movement in the political world of Madrid relative to Gibraltar. The cession of the lonian Islands to Greece bar awakened old hopes. The Spaniards begin to speak of the cession of Gibraltar to Spain u a necessary consequence of the cession of the Seven Islands to Greece. We should add that these hopes are encouraged by news which the Madrid cabinet appears to have received from London. Whatever may be the present disposition of the English government, such ► result, sooner or later, is inevitable. Another breach in the old treaties and in the ancient diplomacy! Another recogni tion of the great principle of the liberty of the seas ! An other triumph of rational policy ! (azurzies nuoasma.) SPAIN. IMPORTANT MINISTERIAL DECLARA- TION. MADRID. Dec. 29. In to-day's sitting of the Senate Marshal O'Don nell, in his speech upon Mexican affairs, said that the treaty of London did not imply any interven tion for upsetting the government of Juarez. The allies, he said, were to take possession of Vera Cruz and the fort of San Juan de Ulloa, and to wait until satisfaction should be accorded them. Spain had never spoken of intervening in the interior af fairs of Mexico. The plenipotentiaries of the other powers found the claims of France excessive. Mar shal O'Donnell further stated that it was not Gen. Prim who caused the rupture. The re-embarka tion of the Spanish troops became indispensable on account of the general state of things. The real cause of the rupture was Almonte, who had de ceived France. In conclusion, Marshal O'Donnell censured the conduct of the government of Juarez, and made an appeal for the union of parties. His speech produced a great sensaticn. The address to the throne was then adopted by 96 against 23 votes. THE BRAZILS. (Per Tyne, vil Lisbon.) MONTE VIDEO, Nov. 29. Exchange, 413 d.

On the 29th instant the Masailia passed the Dutch barque Pudderskirk, standing up ChanneL The Manilla reports having observed a large ship on Cape St. Vincent ; her crew had erected four tents.

SOUTHAMPTON, Dam 3 The Manilla has brought home about 350 boxes and bags of mails from the Colombo. The corre spondence is in a very damaged state ; some of the mail boxes were in the sea nearly a fortnight. The appeal of Mr. Bishop spinet the sentence adjudged by the Court of Assn= was heard on the 21st in stant, before the Court of Caseation at Naples. The appeal was rejected. There were six judges present and the Procu rator-General. Thus terminated (says the correspondent of the Times) a cause which has created considerable sensation and given rise to much angry recrimination. Before the Court of Arise and the Court of Cess►tion, it has been con- I ducted with much patient investigation, with strict impar tiality, and with a dignified calmness strikingly in oat treat with the impassiooed and even furious demeanour which marked judges appointed to try political priseeere under the Bourbons. These were the paid advocates of a despot, while the judges who have presided in ►ll the oases I have board tried under the new regime here shown them selves to be honest and impartial searchers after truth. It is impossible not to feel regret for the painful position in which our countryman stands ; but he has bad as fair a trial as any man could have in our own fres and blessed land. During the Attorney-General's speech the booming of cannon announced the snivel of the St, George, with Prince Alfred on board. She anchored off the Castel Owe, and soon afterwards his Serene Highness Clap ' lain Priam Leiningen went no board, sad later in the after noon the Vier-Consul, Mr. Edward Bonham, made an in effecooa e ff u se to get out. The sea and the wind war% however, insuperable obstacles. To the great grief of all en board, and all in Naples, the St. George starts in an hoar for Bane, where she will remain during the winter. FROM PARIS. DIM 002 owl PARIS, WOZDAY Emma. The Archbishop of Paris died this morning at half-past 6. The archiepisoopal chapter met this afternoon to appoint vicars capitular to govern the diocese provisionally, until a successor shall be appointed. The body will be embalmed, and lie in state at the palace for one or two days. The malady to which the archbishop succumbed, after much suffering, and which has been variously de scribed, is now said to have been a disease of the heart, complicated with a sanguine congestion of that organ and of the lungs. He had not been seriously ill for more than a fortnight. When the Emperor paid him a visit on Saturday all the attendants were sent away, and his Majesty remained alone at the bedside for half an hour. Tho France says that at this interview the archbishop communicated to the sovereign his last ideas and wishes on the subject of the church. Shortly before his death, and with a consciousness of his approaching end, he went into his study, supported by attendants, and pointed out several important papers the , destination of which he mentioned. Cardinal Morlot was a remarkable instance of a great rise from an humble origin, his father having kept a small cutlery shop in the little town of Langres. From the school of his native place he was sent to the seminary of Dijon, where he made such progress that he was received as a private tutor in the family of M. de Saint Seine, a rich gentleman of Burgundy. It was owing to the influence of M. de Saint Seine that he became • canon of Dijon Cathedral, which appointment was the stepping•atone to his fortunes in the church. He was at the time of his death a senator, a privy oouncillor, and a member of the Council of Regency ; but these important posts will not neces sarily be filled by his successor in the see of Paris. He was a senator because a cardinal, and the other two honours were special favours of the Crown, and in no way appurtenant to his primacy. The two names moat prominently mentioned as likely to succeed to the vacant archbishopric are Mgr. Bonnechose, Archbishop of Rouen, a man of great ability, and who stands well before the public just now on acoount of an eloquent speech on behalf of the distressed cotton manufacturers, and the Archbishop of Bourges, who has the ad vantage of being brother to the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, the present ambassador at Rome. I request you to remember that I insisted very positively, a long while ago, that the French army in Mexico was not in a condition to go forward, and that I reiterated the assertion more recently when the French official press stated that the postponed march upon Puebla was to begin in the first fortnight of December. A short paragraph in this evening's France, disdaining, as usual, any explanation of previous misleading statements, says According to the last letters received from Orizaba, General Forey would not be able to begin hostilities before the second fortnight in January." The Marquis de Gallifet had a private audience with the Emperor this morning to receive his Majesty's final instructions for his mission to Mexico. He leaves Paris for that destination on Wednesday. The France states that the day after President Lincoln received the news of General Burnside's defeat, he sent for M. Mercier, the French minis ter, and had a long conference with him. " The peace party in America," says the France, meaning to insinuate that Mr. Lincoln is now desirous to listen to the Emperor's proffered mediation, " see in this interview an indication of a conciliatory policy." - Napoleon Prince N has returned to Paris from Switzerland. His frequent and prolonged ezeur , sions are attributed by the Independence to the present tendency of the Emperor's policy. The V igie of Cherbourg announces that Lieut. de Mercy, whose name was rendered notorious by a trial some years ago, 18 about to take service in the Chinese army. The Bourse was acted upon rather favourably than otherwise by M. Fould's report ; but as K Darimou, one of the members for Paris, remarks in the Prase, the minister would inspire more con fidence if he stated more facts and indulged less in prophecies, which are almost always sure to be falsi fied by events. Rents rose 20c. for cash, and 10c. for account, closing at 70fr. fic. in each case. Mobilier rose 44fr. 50c., and the Italian Loan, 35c.

A letter from Rome says :—" We are approach ing the Carnival season, and anticipating the period when, amongst the English colony, tea-fights and musical parties will be exchanged for downright balls and suppers. The princely natives will doubtless do something in the rime way, and the corps diplornatique will have two events in perspective, in the formal receptions of the sew French and Portuguese ambassadors. According to all accounts the Marshal Duke of Saldanha will prove the more hospitable of the two representatives. He has already made arrangements for fourteen diplomatic dinners of sixty covers, and a corresponding number of dimes balls, in spite of the limited period which intervenes this year between Christmas and Lent." It is stated in an American paper that General M'Clellan is preparing a history of military affairs while he was in command.

This day a special general meeting of share holders was held at the London Tavern, to consider the ey of proceeding with the cenetroction of a line of road tcdoe in the chair. Bombay presidency ; Sir MACDONALD STILPHINSON _ _ The CHAIRMAN said that at the lest meeting it was assumed that the term' proposed by the government would be sufficient to provide the required capital ; but those tern iitred inadequate for the purpose, and Sir J. Logan to India, to induce the government to offer more tri ' e s ireTterms. This would our some delay, but he felt confident that Sir J. Logan would be successful in hie negotiation, as the government were quite alive to the importance of these tramways. In order to prove the natkeal importance and the practice. bNLt of making them commermlly profitable, it was pro. caed to proceed with one lino, the contract for which h a d made with Mr. Withal'. The contract amounted to 62,0001., but perhaps other aureoles would make the cost 70,0001. • and the amount required to onset the expenditure would be provided for by 15,000 shares, which there was no doubt they would speedily have. The east would be 3,5001. per mile, including rolling stock. The government would give no guarantee, but they gave the land and assistance of other kinds, brides an equivalent in . He concluded by moving the following resat • : " Resolved, that the shareholders approve the course sug gested, of undertaking the contract for the read from Paley to Jumbooseer, being a abort line, capable of easy and early construction, at a fixed contract cost, sod forming an im portant link between the cotton districts and the trunk line to Bombay, on the understanding that the board will not enter upon the execution of any more lines, until the government of India shall have conceded such teems as in the judgment of a special general meeting to be convened for the purpose shall be considered satisfac tory," which was adopted. A second resolution was also adopted pressing on the government the necessity of offering more libmal terms. After which the meeting adjourns I. SHIPWRECZ IN SHETLAND. AND EITRAOR. WEARY ESCAPE. In giving details of the wreck of the coal-laden Norwegian 05 h 4001 ._ ll'aphis Key, from Newcastle to Chris thirsted, ea the ieland of Unit, Shetland, the Northern Ensign says :—•h It the swam of the afternoon the vessel was observed front North Cast lighthouse to be in a critical position, under a heavy pram of canvas, and labouring in the sea. There was a heavy gale of wind at the time, and as night came on. fears were entertained that in beating up the Firth she would not be able to escape. Those fears were realised, as shortly after dark she missed stays, and soon after ran alongside of a large rock up which the captain (J. Tarisen) and four of the crew succeeded with groat diffi culty in scrambling, leaving the mate on board. During the night she ma made almost a clean breath of the rock, and two of the men were washed off at different times and drowned. When morning dawned on the three survivors it revealed to them the immi ' DOOM of their dinger. They found themselves without food or any means of escape or signal, on a bare rock about 200 fed from the shore, and in this condition they remained until Friday night, cold, wet, and starving with thirst and hunger. As night came on one of the men proposed, as the gale bad somewhat moderated, to make an effort to reach ; the shore by swimming, which he at last attempted, sac -1 exuding with great diffimlty in reaching the shore. The poor captain, quite exhausted, seeing the successful issue of the sailor's exertions, followed his example, and had reached the shore in a state of exhaustion, when, owing to his strength being eatirely gam, and having to make an effort to climb up the rocks, he fell back, and was speedily carried away by the waves and drowned. The solitary man left on the rock remained there. Meanwhile the other, after resting for a short time, clambered up the face of a precipice upwards of 100 feet high, from the top of which he observed a light, to which he directed his foot steps. It turned out to be the house of Magnus Winwick, by whom the suffering Kaman was received with true Shet land hospitality. Having told his tale, the alarm was in stantly given, aod in a short time a boat was on its way to the rook where the other sailor was left. There he was found, in a very debilitated condition—so much so that he bad to be carried from the rock to the boat. Concluding that the mate had perished with the vessel, no attempt was that night made to find out where she had been driven but early next morning several boats were manned and de spatched to the vicinity of the spot where she first struck. She was found sunk, with the mast, and rigging above the water, and the signal dying. No Mem of the mate was obtained, till on farther search the poor fellow was found lying in the frelliCel of a rock, where he had been without food since Thursday evening. He was instantly removed to a comfortable house, where be and his two comrades re ceived every attention. By last accounts they had all quite recovered, after making one of the most wonderful escapes on rowed. Tomas Etat - rios.—The requisition to Mr. Dent to become • caodidate at this election is still in coarse of signature. About 130 names had been appended to it by Saturday afternoon, including those of eight or OiDe persons who voted for Mr. Ponder. Should the conservative agents succeed in getting 160 signatures, it is understood that the requisition will be forwarded to Mr. Dent. Whether he will consent to stand is uncertain. 150 is but about three. sevenths of the whole constituency, and nearly twoaevenths are at the bidding of the Duke of Somerset, and indepen dently of these are the liberals who are so by choice. Mr. Alfred Seymour. the liberal candidate, will probably arrive to-morrow, and on Wednesday will possibly address the electors.— Western Morning News. MUTH OF Ma. LEDSAIL —The death of Mr. J. F.

A no= ADVENTCHE. —As an evidence of the good service attendant upon the efficient w use of the rifle by our Toting men of th e volunteer corps, e (Gretna* A vertiser) may place before our readers the following com munication from a young townsman, lately a member of our corm, and recently settled in a distant locality :—"One day we bad a bullock killed by a tiger, close to the cattle shed ; it dragged it up into the jungle about 106 yards from the road. We followed its trail sod found the bullock, after pursuing it well, and got it dragged near a large tree, and as night came on, I went, along with an old acquaint- AUXIN and ascended the tree, with two guns loaded with ball.
