The present Is a I.vouraide time for the Introduction of such • Cenvissey. The tessfleial effect of the concentrated and con. elltutirwial government in Italy la already practically evidenced by the large increase in the Mae of Mr exports and imports. The entire removal of all commercial restrictions completed by the law passed in November last bat added a further stimulus to commercial enterprise already materially aided by the rail road., dock,. and other important public works now In course of construction, The t ompany will carry on the Nutmeat of a Bank of Deposit and Discount.

There are large towns, holding even the rank of cities, where neither money can be deposited, cheques caste•t, lon' bills df , counted. the merchants, manufac turers, traders, and agriculturists being comps its! to keep the cash required for business in their strong boxes : thus, Mewed of contributing to the increase of trade, the gains of the small capitalists. and the melees of the shopkeeper and artisan, re main unproductive alike to the owner and to the community. Direct communication has been held with the government, and with many of the leading commercial and financial interests in Italy, and the fore atiou of the Company has not been under taken until it has been ascertained that its establishment will be regarded with "the greatest favour" by the government. and will meet with the warm and cordial impport of the commercial public.

At the Neelon Police-court, on Monday, James Woodward, late actuary to the Neaten and Wirral Bank for Savings, was brought up on remand, charged with for gery, and with having fraudulently appropriated to his own use the monies of the depositor, amounting altogether to about 3000/. The magistrates on the bench were Captain Graham (chairman), Mr. C. Bushell, the Rev. H. Comm, and Captain Clegg. The greatest excitement prevailed ie the place ;the small wart-home was crowded to exams, sad a large amber of depositors attended with their passbooks, anxious to know whether their names bad been inserted in the books of the bank, so that they might establish • claim upon the insulation. The prison..•, as has been already stated in the Merotry, ie ■bout 70 jean of age. He is' s little, grey-beaded mac, of rather s respectable appear. sacs, and on being placed in the dock it was observed by those who knew him well that he looked much better than usual, it being suggested that the discovery of his frauds had considerably eased his mind. The old delinquent was quite a 000lidential man in the district, and a fortnight ago he was believed by many to be one of the moat honest men in Nentoo. The frauds of the prisoner extend over a period of tweety6ve or thirty years. The primer was first charged with having obtained 2001. from the bank by false pretences, such amount having been falsely entered in the cashbook to the credit of his nephew, Joseph Woodward, a gardener, residing at Neatoo. The socused was next charged with having received 304 from a depositor, and not paying it over on the next day to the hank, according to the rules. And next, with having forged, on the 20th November, 15tiO, the initials of Mr. Thomas Radford, who was then a director of the beak, and resided at Nestoa. The prisoner, who daring the examination ap peared quite uncoacerned, was then committed to trial at the assizes on each of these three charges, his only remark being. "I have nothing to my: all right" The pri soner has given up all his property, but we believe it is of very little value. He resided in a respectable-looking homes at the entrance i3Neston, anct, an has been already stated, enjoyed up to the present time a reMatation for strict honesty. His wife is still living, and is 84 years of age, being about 14 years his senior. He has an only son, who is • clergyman In Leedom—Leeds Mercury. (MOM LAST siGar's &turn.)

France has addressed a circular note to the se condary German States, explaining her position in reference to the proposal of England for the assembling of a conference on the Schleswig- Holstein question. It is asserted that France states in this circular note that the London Con ference of 1862 bad only created an impotent work, which has been condemned by events. A new con ference must be based upon proper conditions. Such a conference must take as its starting point the state of things now existing in Holstein, and must not be in opposition to the Federal Diet, as it would discuss questions which might have already been resolved by events. France would also wish the Diet to be represented at this conference, but must first know whether the Federal Diet, which has hitherto objected to the interference of the foreign powers who signed the protocol of London in the quarrel with Denmark, has changed its views on that subject.

The general feeling ou this side of the water among the decenter classes in regard to the result of the recent prize fight in England is one of unalloyed satisfac tion. It is not a am in which victory was to be desired, or in which any one solicitous for his country's honour would care to have the success credited to America. There are many peculiarities in English life and character which we can imitate far more creditably than the brutal practice of prise fighting. There can be no dcubt, moreover, that if he who was put forward by his friends as the American champion had beaten his antagonist, a considerable impulse would have been given in this country to an amusement, as it is celled, which is disgusting and degrading in its nature, its incideote, and its influences. England is the only civi lised nation on the face of the earth which tolerate. the custom. Even there it is forbidden by the lame though these are often rendered in effective by public opinion. We should not like to see the United States share with England in the disgrace of en couraging a pastime which has no single benefit to ream mend it, but a thousand evil effects to condemn it in the eyes of all worthy people. THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATE& Immediately after receipt of the telegram which stated that Yr. Wendell Phiffies had represented Preeident Lincoln se baying told his that the publication of the emancipation proclamation wee a mistake, a gentleman well known in Liverpool wrote to Mr. Whitiog, solicitor to the War Department at Wuhingtoo, and well-known in this country, making him if the report as true. The following is 41r. Whiting'. reply : " Statements have been privately sad publicly circulated that the President ham said to Mr. Wendell Phillip' that he had no expectation that the emancipation proclamation would do any good, or be of more effect than the Pops's bull against the comet. That the greatest folly of his life was issuing the emancipation proclamation.' Several letters have been sddrsseed to me leonine' whether such state ments were true. I cannot do Mr. Phillips the injustice to believe that be ever made the awe:lions attributed to him; and I have the highest authority for denying that the President ever, on any occaeioo, or to say person, seed the language or captioned the sentiments thus erreoecialy laid to his charge. The proclamation was ea of a series of measures called for by a great public. emerpecy. It was nut soddenly resolved upon.

The following is • translation of Karl Rtiasell's despatch to the Federal Diet of the 31st of December, published in the Gummi papers : Foreign•oMos, London, Deo. 31. "The events which have taken place since the death of King Frederick VII. have produced a lively impression upon the government of the Queen. At first appearances wore a favourable aspect. The successor of Frederick VII. had been recognised in both Schleswig and Holstein, as well as in Denmark Proper. A few professors and judges declined to take the oath of allegiance ; but, on the whole, tranquillity sad obedience were generally observed. lteoognitios by Franca Great Britain, Russia, and Sweden, followed this ietereal assent. In Germany a very different spirit reigned. Soma of the states and their rulers, who had acceded to the treaty of Laid= of 1852, bare been the first to uphold the pretensions of the Duke of Atigustenburg. Austria and Prussia have adopted a more moderate course, for they have not altogether rejected the title of Christian IX. to the throne. They made the re cognition of his right depeisdeet on the accomplishment of the engagements entered tato by his predecessor in 1851 and 1652. The government of the Queen cannot admit either of these views. It cannot recognise any claims of the Duke of Augusteoburg which may be at variance with the obligations entered into by her Majesty in consequence of the treaty of London of 1852. The government of the Queen considers that Denmark should remain faithful to Wrt a ln a tirlit i a la ir resist rarl i tegett " on the fulfilment of those sairagemeots. Whilst, therefore. her Majesty's government most readily recognised the sncoessor of Frederick VIL, it insisted, in conjunction with France and Bunk, on the fulfilment of all the obligatioas of his crows in cousezion with Germany. Nor can her Majesty's government doubt the inclination of the King to hal these obliga tions. By birth a German Prince there can be no ques tion of his desire to treat his German sod Danish sub jects with equal favour. Whatever ground of complaint the partisanship of the Danish officials of the late King may have afforded, it is thought that these causes of dis satisfaction will io all probability be set aside in rouse queoos of the equal treatment and impartial proceedings of the new sovereign. Unfortunately two hindrances oppose accomplishment of the views of the friends of peace. The first is the constitution of Desmark•Schleswig accepted last November by the Rigsraad at Copenhagen ; the second is the attitude of Germany. The new constitution of Deonisrk seems to her Majesty's government to tend to an incorpora tion of Schleswig, and as such to be opposed to the oblige tioos of the Danish crown. lo fact, the defence of the Danish minter on this point is far from satisfactory. But the observations of M. Hall, in reference to the other point —viz., to the present attitude of Germaay, are nttly im portant. His arguments may be stated nearly as follows : Detuurrk has withdrawn the royal patent of last Morch for Holstein. She has peacefully submitted to Federal execution, although she did sot believe it based on Federal tight. The retractation of the constitution recently intro duced for Dean:writ end Schleswig is DOM demanded. But what security is offered to her that this will be the list concession trait wall be demanded! A new constitution for Schleswig, sad a common constitution for the monarchy, arealready pat forward as reasons out of which new claims and further demands am to be deduced in future. When, lertly, may Denmark hope for a stop to these incessant relive/Imo:its? If her independence uto be preserved it would be better that she should now offer renstance than allow herself to be weakened by continual, but useless concessions. Although in the opinion of her Majesty's government M. Hall takes up an erroneous position, it yet hods much general truth in the arguments he puts forth. Denmark has a right to know the limits of the claims of Germany, and to be placed in a position to bring this long and fatiguing dispute to • conclusion. Even although Denmark may have withdrawn from her obligations for eleven years, and even although Ger many may have annoyed Desnark with unfounded and impossible china for that period, it is now time that as end be put to the conflict. The powers who signed the treaty of London, together with the German Con federation, are those first bound to establish the image mate and terms of ultimate agreement. The government of the Queen therefore demands, in the interests of peace. L That a conference of the powers which signed the treaty of London, in conjunction with a representative of the German Confederation, shall meet in Paris or London to settle the differences between Devil:my and Denmark. 2. That the status qt,r, shall be maintained until this con. lemma shall have tinidred its labours. Her Majeety's govatainent believes itself justified in making the.. de mands for the &toot the pest:ea Europe. It has no other interest in respect to Denmark than that which belong, to one of the old and independent menu ehies of Europe. But it has an interest in the nuintenace of European peace. It care, therefore, in the molt pressing manner upon the sovereigns and their cabinets to take into oorideratioe how difficult it would be to settle the differences if they had once been subjected to the bloody arbitrament of war. Wbo can foresee what extent such • war might acquire, what possioes it might arouse, what district, might be de solated by its ravages? It is of itself a matter of compua tively slight importance whether • prince of the House of Glocksburg or • ptiooo of the House of Augustanberg rides in Holstein or in Schleswig. The freedom and privilege, et the subject can be equally secured under either of the two primes; bat it is of great importance that the faith of treaties should be upheld, that right and possession should be respected, and that the flames of war should not be spread over Europe through questions which quiet soil timely exercise of justice sad meson might aoudad to • peaceful solution. You are requested to lave • copy of this despat:h with the President of the Federal Diet.—l am, he., "Ilosezu.." A REMINISCENCE OF MR. THACZERAY. Is a letter to Le Temps, full of the most generous feeling, and of tins and poostrating criticism of the genius of our great departed hamourist, whose friendship he had enjoyed, M. Lush Blanc relates in his own inimitable style (which we can only paraphrase) the following chuseteristie saseclote: " A few year age the London papers asirmnced that a Frenchman, whose semis I need cot gnu you, wee going to deliver iu English what is here called a lecture. Fore most among those who were moved by a feeling of delicate kludn-m cud hospitable curiosity to ea• courage the lecturer with their presence was Thackeray. When the lecture was over the manager of the Literary Institutiou where it W/S deliverisl, for some reason or other, recommesded the company to take care of their pockets in the crowd at the door.; a hint which was not particularly to the fasts of a highly. respectable and even distinguished audience. Some eves protested, and none mom warmly thin an unknown per son, very well dressed, sitting Hirt to Mr. Robert Bell. Not content with speaking, this unknown person gesticulated in • singularly animated manner. • Isn't such a sag gestioe indecent, sir, hindting r said he to Mr. Bell. ' What does he take us for?' die. he. After giving Teat to his indignation in this way for some momenta, the susceptible stranger disappeared, and when Mr. Robert Bell, who wasted to know how long the locture had lasted, put his hand to his w.toh. pocket, behold his watch bad disappeared likewise. Thackeray, to whom his emellint (rived motioned the mishap, invited Robert Bell to dinner • day or two after. Whoa the day came, Robert Bell took his seat at his friend's table, round which • joyous company of wits were gathered, and soon found himself encircled by • rattling fire of banter about an article of his which had pat appeared in the Cora/till Magazine, then conducted by Thackeray ; an article remarkable in all reverts, and which had attracted universal notice, as • faithful, 11114• US, and philosophical account of some effects of Spiritism, which the author had witnessed at a seance given by Mr. Home. Mr. Robert Bell is en admirable cauxrur ; his talk is a happy mixture of an Englishman's good sense and an Irishumu'is vertu. So his questioners found their match in brilliant foam. Next diy a mysterious miessoger arrived at Mr. Robert Ball's, and handed to him, without saying who had sent it, a box containieg a note, worded, as nearly as 1 recollem, as follows : Thu Spirits present their compliments to Mr. Robert BA and as a mark of their gratitude to him, they have the honour to re turn him the watch that was stolen from him.' And a watch it really was that the box evetaued, but a watch far Goer sod richer than the one which had disappeared. Mr. Robert Bell thought at once of Thackeray, and wrote to him without further explanation : • I don't know if it is you, but it is very like you.' Thackeray in reply sent a caricature per. trait of himself, draws by his own heed, and iepremeutiog a winged Spirit in a flowing robe, and spectacles on nose. Thackeray had in early life takes to painting, and perhaps if he had pursued his first vocation be might have come in time to handle the brush as well se he afterwards handled the pen. At my ratio the thawing in question, as I can bear witness, was one to bring tears into your ems for laughing. It was accompanied by a sate as follows : • The Sprit Gabriel pressats his osaiplismats to Mr. Robert Bell, mad takes the liberty to communicate to him the portrait of the person who stood the watch.' Now, is not this bit of a story charming? What puce! what deli cacy ! what humour in this inspiration of a (Seed who, to punish his triad for !Avis; don the Spirits the honour to speak at thews, meads him wit& a smile a 'magnificent pessest Ilmosusble to Thackerav, this anecdote is equally so to Robert Bell, who could inspire such feelings a aim. And this is why I feel a double element in relating it." i r 41
