Tnocrvnua has ad dressed to the French Minister at Washington is one the importance of which appears at a glance. Whether regarded as an exposition of law or a declaration of sentiment it is one from which the mast weighty consequences may reasonably be ex pected. Bearing date only three days after the instructions from her Mailmen Government under which Lord LYONS has demanded the release of masers. MASON and Swum., it should have &e -1 rived in ample time to form a serious element in the deliberations of the American Government upon that demand which it so energetically supports. M. Titoevsnat's statement of public law in its applicability to the boarding of the Trent is most luminous and complete. He introduces no new points, nor does he confirm the position he takes up by any new arguments. But his de spatch, conveying as it does the deliberate opinion of a disinterested Government, and that one a Government of the very first in the order of intel lectual and political rank, supplies the one thing— authority—that was wanting to the English case as king as it rested on the opinion of English lawyers. We are aware that exception may be taken to this language ; we know that there are writers prepared to maintain that the decision of the plaintiff's counsel readers that of the judge impertinent. "Let us " try our own case" is advice which within the pest week has been addressed to the nation, and the suggestion that our claims upon the Cabinet of Washington could derive strength from the recog nition of a third party has been at one time treated with contempt, and at another resented as an insult. We shall be curious to see what room this supposition leaves for the acknowledgment of that legal and moral support which the French Govern ment has undoubtedly given by this despatch to the application presented by Lord Lyon's. The Times declares its anxiety to know what the advocates of arbitration will say to this French decision on the legal questions connected with the i boarding of the Trent. We have no exc l us i ve title ici WNW' for them ; but we think we Sr. in a position to form a tolerably cor rect opinion. What they would say, if the assumptions of their opponent. were correct, if—as has often been asserted—they were indif ferent to the dignity of the British Government— connivers at lawless and violent acts --Epicureans, . - - cowards, lovers of peace at any price--ever against their country, right or wrong—it is not for us to imagine. What they will say is, we think, pretty clear. They will say that whatever takes the question between England and America out of the region of sentiment sad passion, and places it upon the social ground of prescriptive obligation and duty, must be so far good ; they will hail with profound satisfaction the testimony of a neighbour ing and rival Government that their country has In this matter beau in the right ; and they will rejoice to believe that, by the act of the French Government, the law has received an accession of moral force which ought to make its authority irresistible at Washington. They will see in M. Tnouveirees despatch a powerful means to the end which they have uniformly pursued —peace and the honour of their country. M. THOUVIINEL, it will be seen, not only lays down the rules of public law bearing upon the case, he also applies them. The case is OD clear, he says, that tho Cabinet of Washington cannot hesitate as to the course to be taken. The American Government, he declares, would bs acting in obedience to a just and worthy sentiment in releasing Messrs. Mssox and Smear., and in giving such explana tions as shall take its offensive character from the act of Captain Wrutss. M. Tuouvarrea appeals to the interests of the Federal Government, and observes that it has no object to gain by provoking a rupture with Great Britain. Tho French Go veniment would see in such a breach of friend ship a most deplorable complication of the diffi culties with which the Cabinet of Washington has already to contend ; and it is in the spirit of true friendahip that it thus declares its, opinion. De clarations so friendly must have immense weight at Washington ; and, aided by the good advice which eminent Americans in this country and in France have sent home, by the personal presence sad representations of General Scar; and by the discussion of the sound portion of the New York preen, they will greatly strengthen the hands of Mr. Ltswout. This French despatch presents the Emperor Exzoiroir in a novel character, that of a peace maker. We confess we are partial to this now aspect of his MAJZSTT, and shall be happy to have occasions for renewing our applause. The spirit in which M. THOVVENXI:I3 despatch is con ceived is unexceptionable. There is no affectation of a virtual intervention, which would not have been admissible in form. The French Government strictly confines itself to its own ground, while its objects are neighbourly, humane, and universal. In England this message sent from Paris to Wash ington will be accepted as an act of friendship, and when the perturbations and excitement of the present hour have passed away it will be regarded with similar satisfaction in the United States. Tuns is a popular medical theory which teaches that disease is the salutary effort of nature to expel from the system the engendered poisons whom retention in the vital organs would be hostile to life. Aooording to this doctrine, fevers, gout, or measles are but examples of the via medicatrix which is ever casting to the surface and eliminating from the blood the noxious humours whose internal operation would prove quickly fatal. If, without fear of an appeal of heresy, we may venture to liken a great city to a "colossal man," we may suggest the resemblance to some such process offered by the recent history of this metropolis. Twenty years ago it was be coming half suffocated with its own obesity, and the huge carcase was half poisoned by the working of its own functions. The daily pulsa tions of that tide, which should have carried health and purity through its heart, were becom ing the agencies by which disease was kept fester ing within the body. The very food on which existence depended was so gorged in narrow ducts as to become often unwholesome and always a source of danger. The extremity of the suffering brought about at length a crisis and relief. Now, railways have removed, by depletion, the more pressing symptoms of suffocation. The Thames is in course of being purified, the sewer system has been enlarged and extended beyond the limits of the town, and the great cattle market has been trans ferred from the crowded neighbourhood of Smith field to the free air and open room of Copenhagen fields. By improvements such as these the health and comfort of the City have no doubt immensely benefited. But there are still within it some gangrenous spots, and while we wait to see the success of the efforts to cleanse it from its refuse, we may profitably use the interval in completing the arrangements by which its food is provided and assimilated. First for consideration comes the removal of the Newgate Dead Meat Market. Here, under the immediate shadow of St. Paul's, unchanged in aught since the rebuilding of London after the Great Fire of well nigh two centuries past, is still the great slaughterhouse and meat sale-room of the capital. Within its narrow passages and courts more than twenty millions of pounds of meat annually change hands. Each market-morning butcher.' carts which may be counted by the thou sand choke up the avenues by which it is approached. While it remains the removal of the market from Smithfield is shorn of half its benefits, and, indeed, in some respects actually has proved an injury. In 1860, therefore, Parliament, after • great deal of oonsideration, authorised the ap propriation of part of the site of Smithfield for the erection of buildings end the laying out of approaches for a dead meat market OOMMOIIIIII - with the requirements of the metropo lis. By lines of railway already projected it was intended to connect the new dead market with the live market at Islington. It was provided that these lines should have a terminus excavated below the site of the new building itself, so as to form no Impediment to the circulation in the neighbouring streets, and to permit the meat to be raised at once to the stalls on which it should be exposed for sale. The carrying out of the scheme was entrusted to the Corporation of London. That body seems, how ever, not to be pressed by any anxiety to expedite the completion of its duties. Nearly eighteen months have elapsed since the Act was passed, and only within the last few days has the Committee to which the matter was referred made a preli minary report, accompanied with some tenta tive plans, which seem not to have been very favourably reosived. It would appear, moreover, that even before these plans could be executed application must be made to Parliament for an alteration of part of the Act under which the Corporation holds its powers. At this rate of progress it will be half-a-dozen years before we eau expect to see any real pro gress made, if indeed Newgate Market shall not still be found, at the next decennial International Exhibition, one of them shows of London in which we shall still invite our foreign visitors to marvel under what extraordinary difficulties we prefer to conduct our business. Since, however, sooner or later, Newgate is to be dismarketed in favour of more commodious premises, we may hope that at the same time power will be sought from Parliament to put an end to certain nuisances of a similar nature which are scattered over the town. These consist in the private slaughter-houses which are still legal, and which very many butchers still keep in close proximity to their shops. It needs not that we enter into revolting details to prove that such establishments are in every way objectionable, that the driving of beasts through the thoroughfares is at once dangerous to the pub lic and injurious to the quality of the meat, that the forcing the poor animals into dens reeking with blood and filth is • process of gross and needless cruelty, that the effluvia from places so used cannot be otherwise than hurtful to the neighbourhood—or that the carting away of the skins, bones, and intestines forms an offensive ad dition to the already overwhelming traffic of the streets. All these evils are sufficiently notorious to Londoners, and custom only makes them for a moment endurable. But they might be remedied in London, as they are already in the best regulated towns in this country and abroad, by re quiring that butchers shall only use for such pur poses public abattoirs, situated in some convenient locality and subjected to official inspection. Already, indeed, means have been reserved for the adjunct of such conveniences to the Islington Cattle-market. Five acres of land, we learn from the report of the Corporation Committee, have there been set apart for the erection of public and private slaughterhouses, with every provision for cleanliness, for ease of access, and for facility of removal of meat and offal. But it would seem from the limited demand for the space thus ap propriated that while its use is left optional private slaughterhouses will not disappear from the moat populous parts of the capital. The nuisance, however, is one which cannot be longer submitted to, and which Parliament may be legitimately invoked to abate. There sin be very little, if any, plea of vested interests raised in opposition. The present private slaughter houses would be equally valuable for some other purpose, and the trade would profit from the im proved quality of the meat as well as from the saving of expense in removing the offal. We trust the Corporation, if they must apply for further powers ere Newgate Market and its slaughter houses be finally abolished, will use the opportu nity to enforce the carrying out of this most need ful further improvement at the earliest possible date. The public health, convenience, and decency, not to speak of considerations of humanity, demand the immediate abolition of the present barbarous and revolting system. MX Court.

The Indipendance Beige of yesterday eveuiug pub lishes the following : " Cannes, Dec. 18. "The awe of the death of Prince Albert reached the young Priam Leopold, his moo, in the midst of oircumitaams _ m melancholy and sedilaid, they could not fail to lowers the horrors of that catastrophe. Taking advantage of • charming morning, the young prince had gone out to sea to indulge iu his favourite pastime of fishing. In returning to his villa he observed that the countenance of his principal servant wan overcast, and that there were tears in his eyes. The cause of this grief was not the death of Prince Albert, which was then unknown, bat the death of his governor, Usssnl Bowater, who had just died in the chamber adjoin leg Prises Leopold's. At the news of this loss the poor boy wept bitterly. Almost at the same moment there ap peared at the end of the ball • commissioner of the tele graph, bringing • telegraphic despatch. It was ad dressed to the general, who was thee lying deed. The eevelope was opened ; it contained the fatal news— Priam Albert wee dead. His royal highness was at mice takes let. his room, and I assure you that It is impossible to give any ides of the desolation of tine young child, thus smitten in his tenderest affections. 'My mother l I must go to my mother,' he cried in sobs ; ' my mother will bring back him whom you say has been taken from me ; I want my mother.' Some seconds afterwards they took him away altogether from the mournful and desolate-lookiog hones to the nearest hotel, the Hotel do Bellevue, which is ordinarily patronised by the English and French aristocracy. Shortly after an English offher arrived from England, charged, it is maid, with the duty of taking the unfortunate orphan back to England." The Prince of Wales (remarks the Times) will sow, thanks to the skilful and vigilant management of his father, enter into the enjoyment of an income of 50,0001. a year and half a Trillion of ready money from the revenue' of the Duchy of CornwalL A position so Mil liant, an income so ample, a destiny so splendid, and a character so attractive will not fail to draw round the Prince a crowd of persons of his own age, all wishing to conciliate his favour, all eager to offer advice, all ready to lind him employment end amusement. "We sincerely trust that her Majesty, ea superior in most respects to the other sovereigns of her race, will also prove her superiority to them by regarding any influence which may interpose itself between ►er and the confidence of her son as a sinister and ill-omened [atm 'ion, boding nothing but evil to her and to him. We are ears she will feel, what any mother in a private sta tics meet feel, that of all the counsels that are offered him there are some which it is so desirable that he should follow as her own. A young and active mind naturally seeks for employment, and it is in the power of the Queen to provide for the Prise" the moat profitable and di/aided employment in stitch he am be engaged, by associating him with her as much as possible in the cares and duties of government" LATEST INTELLIGENCE. PRUSSIA. Advices from Berlin state that a resolution has been come to at the sitting of the Council for the two Chambers to be convoked for the 14th of January. AUSTRIA. The Austrian Gazette of the 20th says : It is not en agreeable °Moe to command a defeated army, and it is still less pleasing to have the management of an empty treasury and dilapidated finances. Our Finance Minister is well aware of the fact. He was once a favourite of the public, but is sow assailed on all aides. His late report to the Chamber has completely changed his poaiti.m. It is undeniable that the financial situation has undergone a most unfavourable change since H. de Meer became Minister of Finance ; but the fault lies with those who direct the general policy. and not with bim. The cause of the deficit is to be found in the military budget and the diminished revenue from Hungary. We owe these two results to those who feared another war in Italy, when it was well known that France was opposed to a war, and that the Italians would Lever be able to attack us unaided, and who have listened to the complaints of the Heicharath, promulgated the diploma of 20th October, and thus caused the deplorable situation of Hungary. If Austria had possessed an able premier in October, 1880, sad a wise minister of foreign affairs, she might have mud a large amount of money. If this money has not been eared, it is not the fault of the Minister of Finance, who was opposed to the diploma of October. ROME. The Turin Gazette has the following from Rome, under the date of the 14th :—" After the secret audience granted to K de Lavalette, the Pope said to a bishop who asked him the result, We have another quarter of an hour to live.' K de Lavalette on his visit to Francis IL declared to him that France could no longer tolerate, under the protection of her flag, that they should oon spire and act to the prejudice of a friendly and allied government, that it was the opinion in France that the brigandage was occasioned by his presence at Rome ; that, at any rate, that was its pretext, and that, consequently he was bound in honour to choose another residence. Francis 11. replied that, living at Rome as • simple private gentleman, he should not leave as long as the Pon tifical government extended its hospitality to him or force was not employed." Worn's ROME, Ric. 23. In a consiatory held this morning the Pope ex pressed to the cardinals his desire to proceed to the canonisation of 23 martyrs who fell in Japan. The Pope also announced that another consistory would be held for the nomination of three arch bishops and ten bishops, most of whom are Spaniards. TURIN, Dec. 23. An extraordinary sitting of the Senate was held this evening for the discussion of the Budget. In reply to the questions addressed to him by some of the Senators, Signor Baalogi gave an explanatory statement of the Budget analogous to that which he has already made to the Chamber of Deputies. Signor Annul . ° disputed the conclusions drawn by the Minister, and stated that be believed the deficit for 1862 would be greater than had been estimated ; that the yield of the new taxes was uncertain, and that no definite financial plan for the future bad been presented to the Chamber. Signor Baslogi replied, that the deficit for 1862 would be less than that for 1861, and said—" We are living iu extraordinary times. If the produce of the tax be not sufficient it will be necessary to have recourse, momentarily, to the emission of Treasury Bonds, as I have announced to the Chamber of Deputies." Some of the Bettors declared that the vote of the Senate on the Budget would neither express confidence nor distrust in the Ministry, but that in view of the urgency of the case the propositions of the Government would be adopted. AMERICA. QUEENSTOWN, Dv,. 24. The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Company's steamer City of Manchester, from New York on the Bth inst., has arrived.

OUTWARD BOMBAY MAIL The Mooltan, which loft Southampton on the 12th, reached Malta on the 22nd, at 5 a.m., and was to leave at 10 a.m. for Alexandria. Father Passaglia has just published a pamphlet entitled " Schism not a threat of Revolutionists, but a well founded apprehension of tholica. Warning by a Catholic Priest." A St. Petersburg letter of the 11th says :—" On Saturday last the Preach Theatre was honoured with the preemie, of km Emperor, on the occasion of the bend► of Maas. Deleveria, a young and pretty actress who made has debut in the Rumen capital two years ego. At the conclusion of the play the Emperor, accompanied by an aids-demunp, went behind the enema to compliment the actress." A letter from Rome in the Post of to-day gives an account of a remarkable suicide which has taken place at Naples. A Mr. Kenrick, an elderly married gentleman, appears to have formed a liaison with a Mies Gray, a young sad pretty Englishwoman, with whom he bail been living at Rome and at Naples. It appears that Mr. Kenrick's relatives in Ragland, who are wealthy, paid no heed, under the circumstances, to his applications for remittereess, and that the two thereupon resolved on suicide. From what subsequently transpired, it seems they must have gone directly to the public gardens of the Vill► Reale, on the sea shore, where, the café being open, they took a glass of rum or moll°. They then climbed over the low wall of the villa, where a semicircular space overlooking the sea Is furnished with stone seats, and descended on the beach, where Miss Gray tied her dregs round her ankles, and filled It from the waist with sand, Mr. Berwick effect. isg the same purpose by filling the bosom of his shirt, his waistcoat, and coat sleeves with sand and stones, Miss Gray supplying the necessary strings and tapes from her own dries, They then tied themselves together round the waist with their pocke‘handkerchiefs, and deliberately lay down to die in the MN which at that point is not more than two or three feet deep. They had the resolution to endure imffo cation, and their corpses were seen iu the transparent water next morning at daybreak by a iisherman. Mr. Kenrick's life was insured for 3,0001., which his hens lose from the fact of his having committed suicide. A grand military festivity in celebration of the birthday of Frederick the Great, on the 24th of January— to take place at Berlin—is in great preparation.

A Wuhington letter of the 9th says :—" The weather is wonderful—positively warm. The bluebottles think it is summer, sad are burring about merrily, and people are eating lees in the confectioners'." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom ova worm PARIS, MONDAY EVIDIDIV. The highly important despatch of M. Thouvenel is beyond all doubt authentic. A very strong opinion prevails now that war is impossible. The clear way in which M. Thouvenel has laid down the international law of the case cannot but make • great impression at Washington. This despatch having been written so long ago as Dec. 3, one now sees why the Patric has all along so strongly taken the English side; and also, perhaps, why the Opinion Nationak—supposed to represent the separate views of Prince Napoleon —has shown itself discontented with the line assumed to be taken by the French government. This evening the Opihion Na tionale, while approving M. Thouvenel's ex position of the rights of neutrals, blames his despatch for going " unfortunately too far," and "pronouncing openly in favour of Great Britain." But, as the Temps observes, "because France has made herself the advocate of England, it does not necessarily follow that she is to be her champion." Rumours are in circulation, and noticed by several evening papers, that the United States government has already consented to release MM. Mason and Slidell, but it is difficult to suppose that this news can be founded on anything but conjec ture. The Bonnie was anything but brilliant. Neither the favourable American rumours, nor M. Fould's speech, in which he laboured to attenuate in some degree the effect of the letter to the Emperor, which, he amid, was not written for publication, produced the least buoyancy in the funds. The Rents, in which but a very limited business was done, closed, with a rise of sc. for cash and a fall of Sc. for account, at 67fr. 25c. and 67fr. 30c. Mobilier fell sfr. In the Italian Loan there were considerable fluctuations, the highest price of the day being 65fr. 95c., and the lowest, which was the closing quotation, 65fr. 55c.-203. lower than on Saturday. Railways were dull with little change ; Northern rose 2fr. 50c., and Eastern lfr. 25c. ; Southern and Western fell 2fr. 50c. each. The Patric, summing up the New York news of Dee. 12, says : We are assured that the new envoys from the South are bearers d each conciliatory proposals that Europe, in ac aspires them, would open the way to a friendly separation, which would permit two republics to be formed, living together hereafter in happiness and prosperity. A despatch, given by the Preen "with all re serve," says that the Spanish fleet has left Cuba, without waiting for the French and English divi sions, and that Marshal Serrano intends to com mence operations against Mezieo immediately. The Petrie, alluding to the same news, says that Marshal Serrano has heard of a vast conspiracy against the lives of Spanish residents in Mexico, and therefore he has decided to take Vera Cruz, and march upon the city of Mexico immediately.

The Austrian Gazette states that Baron de Bina, whose daughter ia to be married in January next to Prince Ypsilanti, has mimed that the wedding outfit of the bride shall only consist of 'Melee either manufactured or pur chased in the Austrian empire. In order to give an idea of this outfit, it will suffice to say that work women have been exclusively employed during the last three months in making the body linen of the bride elect. M.Marsoliner, composer of the music of the Templar and the Vampire, died four drys beck at Hanover, sied 86. The following "communicated note" appears in the Bordeaux journals :—" Ia consequence of lamenta ble acts of proselytism which, on complaints presented to the superior authorities, led to a searching investigation, the convent established at Bordeaux, Rue de Gourgues, by the Sisters of Notre-Damedes-Anges, the principal establishment of which order is at ruyperenu, in the Charente, has been closed, in virtue of an understanding come to between the diocesan and the civil authorities."
