Mot proclamation of the King of Pal:sins "to " 11:y People" belongs to an order of compositions with which wo happily have only • remote and historical acquaintance. Our sovereigns on ascending the throne do not remind us that the nation eweA its greatness to their house, nor under take to protect and support the national life. Such professions as King WILLIAM 1., with the best in tentions, volunteers to his subjects, would only astonish us. Even those whom Mr. CsatxtE has persuaded to a sentimental hero-worship would start instinctively if the images of their fsncy seemed to be about to become real. The Kv.u'a proclamation then must be taken with close reference to the circumstances of Prussia, and it may readily bo admitted that the House of Hourvzotutzx has done far more proportionally for the greatness of the monarchy than any other royal house in Europe has been able to do for the State it governs. Having recognised this extreme self-consciousness, that ho sees the sources of the ;trengflr of Plrussis in the active dere►opment of her spiritual and moral forom, and in the truthfulness of her reli gious feelings, equally with the improvement of his army, acquire new importance when viewed by the light reflected froni the character of the Regency. The KiNc's words can imply nothing less than that liberty in Prussia is to be progressive and conipre htmaire. The tone and air of the whole proclamation express • feeling of unrest. Prussia cannot remain as she is. The KING knows it, and shares his sentiments with the nation. His look is onward. May he have courage, and patience, and enlightenment equal to his task.

Paget, tot., to be hire of MOM, to Her Majesty, vise rilinm so characteristic of royal proclamations in Prussia, we are led to inquire for what part of the policy of his House the new limn is most in clined to take credit, in order that we may learn what in it he is most disposed to Mutate. And here it is very satisfactory to find the KIM: uniformly adducing the representative in stitutions of Prussia as those which best express and must nobly commemorate the enlightenment and magnanimity of his family. We are here consi dering the situation of a Prince assuming the government of 18,000,000 people, of a State in which there is some excuse for saying that for twelve years constitutional government has been on its trial, and wo therefore overtrick for the moment the minor distinctions which may exist in the working of the representative system. Anil we record it to the honour of the new Ktmo, that, even while he employs the traditional language of his House in speaking of the position of the monarch in the State, he glories in the expansion which has been given to the notional life in the Par liamentary institution, founded by his brother and predecessor. It is notorious that FREDERICK WILLIAM did not at first contemplate the este. blishment of a direct parliamentary representation of the Prussian nation such es now exists. The failure• of thu United Diet and the revolution of 1848 were necessary to convince him that feudalism could not be adapted to the govern ment of men in the nineteenth century, and the experiment was nada which has resulted in the existing constitution. It was Ices believed that the Prince of Parana was CM of the least' friendly observers of that experiment. Yet the Prince no sooner acceded to the direction of affairs as Regent than he imparted to the govern ment a tone of liberality before unknown in Prussia. His firet act was to dismiss a minister who had basely succumbed abroad to Austria, sur rendering with the honour of Prussia a federal policy which had for • time made her the Power of Germany, a minister who had sacrificed the rights of the nation to the nobles. His woad act was to replace the Marrerrrri. administra tion by a cabinet of men known for national and liberal feeling. The appointment of the ministry of the Prince of lii/ULIZULLERK-StamAsuicmc was hailed with enthusiasm by public opinion in Prussia, and the elections which followed at the end of the year 1858 bore witness to a universal revival of political life. The feudal parliamentary opposition, so powerful before, was completely de stroyed.

The conservative journals announce that Mr. Hemet* intends to come forward on the conservative in terest at Leicester. The home policy of the Prince Regent has not been bold or decisive, but it has bees at least con sistent. Under the Regency the illegal leisure. of the newspapers, so frequent in the time of M. Dtmereurret, ceased, and the security of printers and publishers received new guarantees. The practice of voting an address to the Crown was introduced in the first session of Par liament convoked by the Regent. In the same session a blow was struck at the feudal privileges of the nobility. The constitution of 1850 de clared that all the citizens were bound to contribute to the charges of the State ; but the principle had never been fairly applied. The grossest inequality prevailed in the rate of taxation among the various provinces, and in the eastern part of the monarchy the estates of the nobles were altogether exempted from the land tax. Bills for reducing this in equality were brought forward by the ministers of the Regent, and although the term of the session arrived before they could be carried, the new policy of the Government was clearly marked before the whole country. The same bills were again presented last year, and passed the Chamber of Deputies by a large majority. The renewed resistance which the Chamber of Peers offered to this and every other measure in tended to introduce equity and equality into the administration of the kingdom celled for some counter-action on the part of the Government ; and accordingly the Prince, a few months ago, manifested his determination not to permit the Lords to nullify the action of the other branches of the Legislature. He created a number of liberal peers, who, in the coming seam, will to some extent redress the balance of parties ; but will probably do yet more good by reminding the aristocratic clans that there are ways of making it responsible to public opinion, and that it cannot safely abase its political privileges to maintain obsolete pecuniary exemptions, which offend the moral sense of the nation even more than they in jure its interests.

The Pope wished to have their Majesties to dinner on his fete day, in the hope of making them good friends. Queen Christina stipulated, however, for the presence of her husband, the Duc de Risnzares, to which the dignity of the Queen of Naples would not cosiest. The .Vunde tells us that, in order to " meet the difficulty, his Holiness invited five cardinals and the diplomatic corps." We are not told whether the five cardinals and the ambassadors filled up the vaimacy caused by the absence of the duke and his better half ; or, whither, his orate being present, he was held to be WE. gently sweetened in this mass of eminency and excellency for presentation to the fastidious fugitive from Gaeta.

At the Court of Queen's Bench, Toronto, on December rt, before Chief Justice Robinson, Mr. Justice McLean, and Mr. Justine Burns, Messrs. S. B. Freeman, IL C. Cameron, end Thomas Hudgins appeared on behalf*/ the fugitive, John Anderson. Mr. Freeman rose for the purpose of swim that after consulting with his friends respecting the ease of the Na tive Anderson, they had made up their minds to carry the ems to the Court of Error and Appeal. He (Mr. Freeman) could not say there vu no doubt of the right to do so, but be was glad to be able to state that he had replied • oom mun ication from the Attorney-General upon thesubjest dap ped, and he had his assurance that the °regrows' most anxious to procure the judgment of the court. above. The Attorney , General had gone so far as to say that any exnees would be borne by the government. The chief di fficul ty which appeared to present itself wes the consideration of the question--were the proceedings a matter of record' Several authorities he (Mr. Freeman) had looked at showed that the writs of this description when returned and filed were matters of record. The practice of the two courts here, when one of them gave judgment, wu that the other court would pronounce the same judgment upon the same facts until the party went to the Court of Error and Appeal. This was the raison why he (Mr. Freeman) had determined not to take out a writ of habeas corpus in the Common Plea!, forth* judges might tell him when he got there they would follow the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench until reviewed by a higher court. But if he went to the Court of Error and Appeal and he was told there he had no appeal, t he would be in a position to ask an independent ant of the Court of Cowmen Pleas. e Chief Justice said the court had looked into the sta. Wee constituting the Court of Error and Appeal, and after carefully considering the matter had come to the conclusion that no appeal would lie. As to what counsel had said with respect to the Court of Common Pleas, the course in dealing with ordinary cases was as he had stated it. But in a case, of this description he (the Chief Justice) thought they . might expect that an independent judgment would be given. Mr. Freeman--I understand your loedshipe think there probably is no rule under the statute for an appeal. The Chief Justice—l can find none. Mr. Freeman—l suppose your lordships will make no ob jection to the matter being brought before the Court of Appeal if that court thinks et to hear it! The Chief Justice—Certainly not. It would be for counsel to consider whether they were not in the present state of the case limited to intercourse with the crown. If they had in view an appal from this country, their object should be to prevent the prisoner being given up. That was a matter between themselves and the government. Mr. Freeman intimated that he bad no fear of Use prisoner being surrendered while further legal proceedings were con templated. The government woe meet anxious to have the judgment of the Curt of Appeal in the case. SARDINIA AND THE GERMANIC DIET. The lf's etc-sebum Munitair states that the repro sentative of Sardinia at the Germanic Diet will shortly notify the different annexations and the formation of the Italian kingdom, and that, thereupon, the Diet will refuse to recognise any representative of that kingdom. The same official journal adds, that Prussia has made such preparations that in a few days she could mobilise her whole army, and that her military forces are so disposed along the Rhine and in Westphalia, that a prompt change of position would suffice to put the whole army in line. The German Federal army is completely equipped, and could present itself "to the enemy" with very little delay, and the military commission of the Diet is displaying the utmost activity. The Dfbats of to-day, in noticing these observations, is curious to know who is "the enemy " alluded to in such a mysterious way by the Wurtemburg journal. ROME. ROMP, JAN. 5. This morning placards were discovered on the walls d the city exhorting the Romans to await the aid of the Sardinians. The report is current here that K.

CartHuai Riario &one, the Archbishop of Naples, has protested to the government a protest against the tumultuous demonstration of which he hu been made the object. " I declare," he says, "to the government and to the whole country that I protest spinet any word, or any act of consent or assent which have just been extorted from me by such tumultuous measures as those which have recently taken place. I wish that, whatever may be the thisp which I may promise under such circumstances, they may be considered as null and of no effect." This protest is dated Dec. V. A Pane letter, in the Lulependance, relate; the foßowing :—" One evening, just before New.

This walk greatly aroused the Empress, who, on returning to the pekoe, distributed tier purchases among the ladies in waiting." 7110111 0011 OWN PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. Concerning the projected smith* at Gaeta, the latest news of auy precision is that telegraphed from London 941 being in the Daisy News of this morning. The Pays says that, according to the last information, "the negotiations are serious, and in a fair wayof success;" and according to the Patric, " they are actively going on." There is a rumour that the French Emperor will be so very consider ate as to withdraw, on the 19th, only just far enough to enable Admiral Persano to bombard the place, but will still keep his fleet at hand to prevent Russia or Austria from coming up, and to offer Francis H. an asylum, whenever he likes to take it. The official origin of the pamphlet " The Pope and the Bishops of France," is denied by the evening journals, but in terms which prove nothing. The Pays says that, "as usual," foreign newspapers affect to refer this new anonymous production to official regions, and that, "as it always does," the Pays warns the public that the production is altogether a personal matter having no value beyond what may belong to the private opinions of the author. This "as always "of the Pays is rather too strong ; that journal would not now deny that at least two anonymous pamphlets published by M. Dentu within the last two years were as official as could possibly be. I expressed my belief on Sunday that this one is not official in so high a degree—for there are degrees and forms in these things ; but I still have no doubt that it is promul gated with very high approbation. Of course that does not imply that the French government means to be bound by its very strong propositions against the temporal power. The Union thinks the pam phlet so important that it devotes aix or seven columns to criticism and extracts of it, and, although it satirically repeats at the head of every paragraph that it is " anonymous," in order to be the more free to denounce its doctrines, this ultramontane journal makes the not unimportant remark that the facts contained in the pamphlet are not such as private individuals can readily obtain sours to. An attachti from the Minister of Foreign Affairs left Paris this morning for London, with des patches for M. de Flahault, which are supposed to be very important, as the private secretary of the minister passed the greater part of the night in drawing them up. The fall at the Bourse goes on with scarcely a check. The Rente fell 30c. both for cash and ac count, closing at G6fr. 90c. Moldier was 23fr. lower. Railways fall from 2fr. 50c. to 6fr. ITALY. The Turin correspondent of the Ridde writes as follows, on the 6th instant : Is the bitter part of December the nephew of Lord John Rummell was on board an English yacht, which came to anchor near ewers. A boat wa■ let down, and two idiom brought Garibaldi as levitation to breakfast, whisk the latter accepted. The geserd, on remaking the dock, was saluted with twenty-me gene The same emelt% Garibaldi returned to his island, and the English yacht set mil for Gaeta. Yesterday and to-day all tbe pelaideate of the Garibaldian committees met at Bertanes, in Genoa. They had been summcmed to come and audit the detailed account of the expensed incurred by the central committee for the expedi tious to &Ay and Naples. Proteadiap commenced with the reading of the following latter from Garibaldi to Bertani : " Caprera, Dec. 22. "My dear Bertani,—l have received and examined the account of the rums expeaded by the committee over which you preside, and am satisfied with it. You have de served well of Italy during those two periods when both of us had the honour of serving our country.—Yours, " GUMPPR GARIBALDI." Y. &Rani then read the full items of expenditure, and produced all the vouchers for the insportioo of the commit tee. Bertani, when the reading was concluded, demanded that a special committee taken from the various members present should be empowered to audit the accounts and examine the vouchers produced. The usembly decided unanimously that there was so occasion for instituting this special audit after General Garlbaltli's approbation, which was aulacient. The Garibaldian committees are not dissolved. The decision was adopted that they could continue to act and collect voluntary offerings for the completion of the work undertaken by Garibaldi. In future they will asaume the following title—" Committem of Aid for Rome and Venice." Bertacii then handed in his reiiication on the ground of ill-health. It was sot accepted, and the central committee II LOW composed as follows : Panama, Bertani ; Vice. presidents,'Nenro Macchi and Bellaszi ; Adjuncts, Mosta, of Genoa. sad the Advocate Brum°. The seeotutte of this meeting sire to be Fainted and pub -IWhod. Garibaldi, in consideration of the grave state in which Italy now is, does not wish his name to be used as a pretext for any agitation ; but be wishes the cation to gather all its strength for the last crisis, and to be ready by the spring. The following letter was also read to the Central Com. solttee : . _ "Calmer% Dec. 29,1860. " Dear Bellarni,—l wish the formation and agreement of all the Italian apianittees to contribute to the great n. demptiou of the country. In this way Victor Emmanuel, with a million of armed Italians, will be able next spring to demand with justice that which Italy wants. In the sacred path I follow I wish every trace of party to disappear. Our antagonists are a party ; they wish Italy to he made by them, with the aaaistanoe of the foreigner and without us. We—we are the nation ; we desire no other chief but Victor Emanuel ; and we exclude no Italian that frankly desires what we do. Therefore, above all, take care to preach cemeord, of which we have immense need.—Yours, " G. Gazisaw 1." Garibaldi haring beard that be was proposed in Italy by Dearly all the electoral colleges refuses to accept any coml. nation, in thaw terms : '• Capron, Dee. 29, 1860. •• Dear Bel4xu,—• • • • Owing to exceptional cit.. cumstances, I cannot accept any candidates* aa a deputy. I wish this to be made publicly known to all the electoral colleges, in order that the inconvenience of prooeciling to fresh elections may be avoided—Yours,_ " G. GARIBALDI." All them letters give abundant praot, without further comments, that Garibaldi is holding himself in Medial', far the Ltd March. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 3rd have arrived. On the preceding day the Senate was occupied in discussing the estimates of 1861, and the Congress with a bill for reforming the mortgage system. In the course of the sitting in the latter, the govern mant presented a bill for opening a credit of 4,000,000 reale fur the sufferers from the inunda 'flogs. The journals contain details of the disasters :F:lotted by the waters.

There were various cardinals present, and mass was said by Monsignors Ferdinand English, Bishop of Port d'Espagne, for the repose of the soul of (says the fii , vnak di Roma) "that glorious martyr and sustainer of ecclesiasti cal rights" THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS. For some days past since the frost set iu it was oonteniplated to have a grand inspection of several of the volunteer rifle oorpe on the Serpentine, to be accompanied by an exhibition of fireworks and nocturnal tore light sotrit matches. Al far as the latter was concerned it was out with the greatest spirit last night, but the authorities being apprehensive that if the former was allowed a sacrifice of life might ensue, sent round to the different depots warning the commanding officers of the danger of their sanctioning such • proceeding. The muster of volunteers expected did not in consequence take place, and judging from the crowded state of the ice and the vaet multitude of persons who lined the foot prome nades, it was exceedingly fortunate that it did not. Mr. Inspector Grant, of the A division, with nearly 50 COG stable', were placed on duty in Hyde-park, in order to keep • way clear for the persona who might become immersed or otherwise injured, to be passed to the receiving -house. During the daytime about 30,000 persons, including many members the Seating Club , amused themselves upon the ice ; but after the shades of evening set in a sight took place which had never before been witnessed in Hyde-park. Shortly after five o'clock something like 50,000 person' went upon the ioe, and there were nearly half that number who carried lighted flambeaux. Booths and tent, were erected upon the ice, haring all the appearance of a country fair on aal ge scale. The banks on either side of the park were crowded, there being, it is computed, over 150,000 plumes present, and towards nine o clock the carriage reeds were crowded with vehicles. At that time the pyro. technic display began in earnest ; ell @arta of fireworks were let off in almost every part albs frown river. There was also on the ioe a large pavilion, beautifully decorated, and illuminated with Chinese lanterns. This had been got up by some enterprising puhlioan for the supply of " creature comforts." AU aorta of mancenvree, and dances, too, were gone through by skaters, to the amusement of the vast crowd. At ten o'clock • number of ladies undertook to skate • match for a sum of money near the astern end of the river, the , primi being won by • Dutch woman, whose evolutions excited the admiration of the spectators. As might have been expected, a large number of accidents in the shape of falls, causing cuts and bruises, took place, as well as one or two immersions, but nothing mote *enema occurred. _ _ The ice on the waters in the various other parks were crowded during the day, and numerous accidents—both immersions and falle—took place, but none of them happily of e fatal matting. The thermometer at the Royal Humane Society's Lteceiv ing-honee during Monday night stood at 19 deg. At nine o'clock yesterday morning it was xi deg. ; and at noun the mercury roes only 1 deg, shove freezing point. The baro meter at the same brmitution yesterday indicated] 30.35; the wind was north-east, and exceedingly cutting. THE STORM IN THY NORTH AND EAST RIDINGS.-EXTRAORDINARY RECAPS. On Monday and the whole of Sunday night snow continued to fall is vast quantities. Roads are blocked up in all directions, and the railway traffic is very greatly im peded. On the welds in the East Riding and the moors in the north, the snow is of immense depth, ditches and water coarsen being snowed level over, sod are, in fact, so many traps for persons attempting to cross. An extraordinary escape is related as having occurred on Sunday night on the moors. A powerfully built man, pained George Jackson, of Hartlepool, who states he waked from Think, and was =the moors to the railway work, in ito , sedale, was y buried in the snow. It seems a deep ' gully," or mountain watercourse, was snowed over, and to the bottom of this Jackson fell. It was nearly dar k, and ill his *Norte to escape were fruitless, the sides being perpendicular. In this condition be remained all night, with nothing but a small quantity of bread to eat which he fortunately had with him. Be jumped about until morning in orderto keep awake, and kept shouting as /mid as be possibly could. Jackson, it seems, had only got out of hie way a few yards, for about 6 o'clock his cries were beard by a farm servant passing down the valley with a horse and cart, who rescued the poor man by dropping him a cart rope, which Jackson, bwng so benumbed, could with great difficulty fasten round his body. On the welds the farmers are obliged to feed their sheep on oilaike, it being no longer possible to tied the turnips in the snow. The vast resources of the North bateau Railway Company are inadequate to the supply of the demand for coals in the district, the navigation being stopped. Taking advantage of the suspension of Fuselage traffic on Sunday, special coal trains were run on the hues during the day. It I. still (Monday night) snowing heavily, with thick fog. Collections are being made in Melton for relieving the labourers out of work. Tug MAILQVU4 OF BIITE.—It most doubtless be a my charming mutation to find oneself young, of high rank, sad the possessor of 70,0001. or 90,0001. a you.; but that even this brilliant position may have its drawbacks the Marquis of Bute, who combines all these attributes, has already discovered at the early age of thirteen. This young nobleman, who, by way of one item on the per contra side of the balance, has the misfortune to be an orphan, already himself a bone of contention to rival guardians, rival systems of education, and even rival dignitaries of the law. The rival guardians advocate the rival systems ; the Scotch Lord Justice Clerk and the Lord High Chancellor of England are invoked to tattle the differences of the parties contending over this precious trust,but seem unable to settle their own, each asserting his separate authority over a ward who holds titles and possessions within the jurisdic tion of both. " Dina meddle w? my Earl o' Dumfries and laird o' Rotheaay," growls the Caledonian Minos. " Take ears how you interfere with my Marquis of Bute," thunders the Rhadamanthus of England. " Remove him from Scotland at your pail," wares Lord Glencorse. " See that be is brought within my jariadictioe, or beware," decrees Lord Campbell; and be tween both these stools this youth of bright prospect. is likely enough, some dozen years hence, to find himself, if not on the ground, at leant upon another stool—that et repentance. In the meantime, he is " paid into omit," m it were, and is deposited, penclente lite, on neutral pound, which, fortunately for him, he finds in the family of his relative, the Earl of Calloway.—Morning Past. Tut &saw STIAXPRIP QVIIN - PLYMOUFN. TVINSDAY.—The telegraphic cable is in course of removal in • satisfactory manner front the skip. The high and dangerous temperature in the hold, caused in some measure by the brightness of the wire used in this cable, has been completely subdued by the unexpected submersion when the ship was stranded, and it ia now in capital con dition. The total length of cable received on board was about 425 knots—viz., the two shore ends, together, may, 70 knots, the remainder 355 knots. The weight of the cable is, say, shore end, 70 knots, at 7 tons per knot, 490 tons ; !mall cable, 355 knots, at 21-7 tons per knot, 748 tons ; total, I,VB tons. The two gun brigs Rover and Pilot, each of 400 tons, are moored abreast of each other, directly astern of the Queen Victoria. The Pilot is to the starboard, receiving cable from the after bold ; she has the entire of one of the shore ends, about 27 knots, nearly 200 tons, and may be able to take about 50 miles of the small cable. The Rover is to port, end has received from the fiirehold of the steamer 23 knots, say 190 ton; and may be able to stow 70 miles of the lesser cable. There must, of course, be a severance of the cable when each brig's stowage is on bow& lip to 11000 to.day Use weather, although vary cold, with occasional heavy falls of snow, continues mode nde. No further damage has been done to the ahip, and every mile of cable removed lessens the liability to injury. The cable is to be leaded at Keyham steam yard Ezazrir iv LONDON.

The climate here Is everything that I could wish. Whilst I see by the papers that many parts of England • are covered with deep snow we are sitting with open Ina does the whole day, and there is not even a white frost at night. I really think I have seen more Minsky and felt more solar heat during the three December weeks I have passed in Algiers than I experienced du4ug the whole meaner in Paris. I do not doubt that my health will be greatly bene fited by the change. I cannot at present indicate the time when I shall have the pleasure of seeing you in Rochdale. Be seamed, however, that I have no wish to depart from the good rule which my predecessors observed in appearing before their coastlines= once a year to give an opportunity for mutual explanation and consultation. In my opinion this is the very least that should be done by a member who .4 holds his seat on such honourable conditioas as those which the electors of Rochdale prescribe to themselves in the o election of their representative. As soon as I can intimate to you erectly the time when I shall be in England, which meet to the rudest of a few weeks at least be dependent on the state of my heath and of tbeweather at home, I will do myself the pleasure of again writing to you.
