The Minister of the Marine and the Colonies has received from Vice-Admiral Bruat, the Commander in-Chief of the Mediterranean squadron, the follow ing telegraphic despatch : .. MONTEBELLO, Luc 13. The Descartes arrived on the 4th from Constanti nople with 1,100 men, munitions, artillery, and fiat bottomed boats. The Trident and Megrim arrived on the 9th. Omer Pasha came in the afternoon of the 4th to Kamiesch; he was golog on to Balaklava. The Primanget is returning to Prance. The cold has been rather severs the last few days. Since yesterday the weather has been milder, and the snow has melted, although the wind still blows from the north. During the night between the 7th and Bth of January the Russians made a sortie against the parallel in front of the battery No. 19. Waited far by our soldiers till they came up breast to breast, they were ♦igorously repulsed, and left eeverai deed behind them. During the night between the 11th and 12th one hundred and fifty Russians attacked oar lines. After a hand-to band tight that lasted a few minutes, they were repulsed, leaving in our works seven dead and two wounded prisoners. Our loss amounts to seven wounded. A letter of the 19th, from Vienna, says :—" The embarkation of Turkish troops for the Crimea has proceeded with such activity, that on the 14th the last transports had set sail." Russian news from the Crimea is to the 14th of January. At that date nothing important had taken place before SebeatopoL—Daily News. BERLIN, JAM. 20. The Sardinian alliaace with the Western Powers is disarmed by our semi-official press in a spirit of great bitterness. Our statesmen feel that the active participation of a secondary European state in the war is making Prussian neutrality impossible. A new note was sent to Vienna in the middle of the week, protesting against the course taken by Austria and the Allies.—Daily NMI. We are informed from Vienna that on the 16th another note wu sent by Count Boiol to Berlin, calling upon the Premise Cabinet to fulfil its obli gations, under the treaty of April,to mobilise its army. The Irsdependanee of Brussels ham telegraphic in kersation that in this note Austria informs Prussia that should she not obtain a majority in the Diet on the question of mobilisation she will proceed under the 42nd article of the Federal Pact, i. e. will accept the active alliance of such Germania States as may choose to join apart from their federal obligations. The Correspondence of Berlin mays that hopes of peace become more faint. The transformation of the definitive treaty into an offensive one was proceeding naively at Vienna It was considered as certain , that the war would be continued with all the *new 1 possible, and that negotiations for peace on the part of Austria approached their conclusion. Voss's Casette states, that at Vienna prepare. time for war are being continued with undiminished energy. It is added that the negotiations for con verting the defensive treaty of December 2 into an offensive one, are now drawing to a close, and that probably a diplomatic act will announce the fast s sooner than many resew anticipate. The Manifests, referring to the article of the Con gaWinne*, reap/ding Prussia, to which a Paris cor respondent of the Daily News called attention yes terday, says: A karma published yesterday s note addressed ea the Lt el April. 1813 to the Prudes esvoy by the Deka do Bea ems, Miaister of Foreign Affairs.

In the Peers, the Earl of ELL/1180110MT aid Earl OAST have given notice of motions respecting the conduct of the war; is the Coto nou', Mr. ROZBUCK has intimated his inten tion to move for a committee of inquiry, and some half dozen members have given notioeggsf modems or questions. Indeed, there is a prevalent belief in a suspension of hostilities in the Legislature throughout the current week. Mr. Dmsu still lingers in the rural abides; and, had there been mir chief In the wind, he would have wanted it, and winged his way to the seen of action, with sa sure an instinct as vultures lock to the field on whioh a great battle is about to be stricken. The brief sitting in the Commons was not, how- OW, mainly devoid of interest. Lord JOHN Rassztes statement in relation to the attempted renewal of negotiations at Vienna is important. Distinctly and repeatedly Lord Joni declared that these negotiations have not yet begun. On the 28th of December, at a meeting of the ambassadors of the Western Powers and Russia, with :the Austrian Minister, Prince Gorrouxorr, after fruitlessly attempting to persuade the ether diplomatists to receives memorandum in explanation et the sense to which Ruda understood the basis of aeptiations, accepted the four points without reserve. Nevertheless, the Ambassadors of France and England have not yet been empowered to treat. It would appear from this that the Western Powers have reason to distrust the purposes with which Rossi& proposes to negotiate, and are resolute not to allow themselves to be caught in a net of aimless protoeola. Meanwhile everything looks warlike—nay, everything looks like preparation for a great and protracted struggle. It seems childish to expect immediate intelligeses of any final or decisive action. All the movements of the Allis—France's augmentation of its Foreign Legion, England's construction of a railway in the Crimea, Turkey's despatch of an army of 60,000 men to that Peninsula, with the leisurely motion which defective organisation imposes on it—all present the aspect of an extensive combination, which requires time to admit of its completion. Even the words of Sir Di LACY EVANS at Folke stone tend to corroborate this view. "No such war," he is reported to have said, "as that in which they were now engaged could possibly be finished in so short a time as some were unreasonable enough to expect." In fact, we can scarcely be said to have ens, as yet, the serpent beginning of the draggle. All that we have hitherto witnessed is little more than the first trickling of a few snow flakes on some Alpine summit which preludes the rush, and roar, and overwhelming downfall, of an avalanche. We must look beyond the Crimea, to the mustering of forces which is in progress through out Europe. Turkey was first assailed by Russia England and France then rushed to the rescue ; now Austria is arming ; Piedmont has thrown itself into the scale of the Allies; Sweden has all but openly de clared for them ; other powers will follow in rapid suoosesion. The bitter tooe in which the semi•ofcial journal at Berlin speaks of the Piedmontese accession shows how bitterly the feeble, faithless, and vacil lating Government of Prussia already feels its jar lation from the oouncils of the European Powers. Europe is rising from the slumber of forty years into which Russian blandishments have lulled it. The Governments of Europe cannot help themselves ; the time is past for patching up a hollow trues of some few years with the Muscovite; Europe must I be secured against inroads from the permanent camp pitched by the armies of the Czsa on its eastern frontier. We have alluded to the speech addressed by Sir Da LACY Evans to the deputation which welcomed him. at Folkestone. Most sincerely is it to be desired that the health of the gallant General may enable him to take part in the impending debates on the conduct of the war. He is a ripe and approved soldier, and one who can feel for his brothers in arms from the highest to the lowest. The calm but firm manner in which he repelled the tasteless and ill-judged attempt of the spokesman of the deputation to draw him into a premature disclosure of his opinions respecting the management of the war, and the liberal and candid manner in which be spoke of the commanders in he Crimea, are a warrant that any attempt to make him an instrument of factious attacks upon them will be is vein. At the same time words dropped from him which show that he is prepared frankly to represent the real condition of the army, with a view to the improvement of the conduct of the war. This is exactly what was to be expected from Sir DE LACY Evans, from all his antecedents. We have not forgotten his chivalrous enterprise, in bygone years, in behalf of Constitutional Government in Spain. We know that he feels for the soldier u a military chief ought to feel. We remember the frank and forward courage with which, at a perilous crisis of the Reform Bill struggle, he declared that, "if an attempt was made to govern by the sword, l he would resist it with the sword." A high-minded, generous gentleman—an experienced soldier—a fearing spirit—that is thi man who is wanted to bear true and soothfast evidence to the actual state of our army, of whose deeds, and sufferings, and position, he has been an eye-witnees. Should his health permit, his words will be listened to in the Rouse of Commons with respectful attention ; and he will be able to check, on one side, the unscrupulous apologists of red-tape inefficiency; on the other, the empty declamation of ignorant ambition, seeking to make political capital out of the mistakes and short comings of men in ofliow.—Daily News.

Charles Bolton, R.N., Admiralty agent, arrived at Southampton yesterday, with the West India mails. Dates of sailing: Grey town, Dec. 21 ; Panama,22; Honduras, 18 • Carthagena, 28; Jamaica, 28; Demerara, 26 ; Trinidad. 25 ; St. Kitt's, 30; Barbadoes, 27 ; St. Lucia, 27; Antigua, 28; Martiniqie, 28; Guadeloupe, 29; Jacmel, 29; Porto Rico, 31 ; Domioics, 28 ; St. Thomas, Jan. 6. The Parana brings 16 passengers ; among whom are Dra. Clark and Peacock, staff surgeons; Lieut. Dennison, 90th Regiment; five distressed British seamen, and seven other passengers. The Parana's intelligence from South America has been anticipated rio New York. The amount in specie on board is thus composed From South Pacific, 222,038 dots. ; North Pacific, 180,701 dole.; Panama, 10,098 dole. ; Santa Martha, 12,193 dolt.; Carthagena, 163,577 dole.; other islands, 23,803 dole.: total, 812,408 dole. ' At haltpast 700 the evening of Sunday, the 21st inst., from some mistake in the distance and position of a sailing vessel, she ran stem on to the Parana, just abaft the port paddle-box, causing a fearful crash, smashing one of the Parana's boats, and carrying away her own stern and bowsprit. The engines were immediately stopped and a boat lowered and sent to ascertain the amount of damage she had received, and the carpenter , and the captain, after a careful examination of her, found that the bowsprit and cutwater were en ' tirely gone, and some of the bolts of the stem planking by the wrench drawn through the wood, above the water, but her timber ends were not started, nor did there appear to be any injury under water; and, all circumstances considered, it was thought best that she should proceed to Falmouth (for which the wind was fair) for repairs. The sailing vessel was the Chrysolite, a new three-masted schooner, from Glas. gow to Pernambuco; general cargo • four days out. Admiral Faoshawe and moat of t hel ships of war on the station were at Jamaica, Bnscawen, Colossus, &c. Daring, at Greytown. Mariner, at Antigua. The Jamaica market is reported easier than at last dates. Flour barley holds its ground at 50s. Rice looks up, and is in fair demand, especially best kinds. New fish in tierces has ranged as high as 20s. In wines and brandies the business has been limited by the heavy inertise of duty, and the same cause has produced similar blighting effects on other branchesl of trade. The lair promise of the crop now in course of elaboration appears to have drawn to the island a fair supply of &hippie,/ for it. conveyance to Euro pean markets, and it ui thought freights will be a shade easier. Exchanges continue at former quota tions ; and there is no perceptible change to report in the produce market. In Demerara the crop on most estates is finished. The rains that have fallen have been general over the country, but timeous and most advantageous to the new crop. Young canes look beautiful ; their growth apparently unchecked by the severe drought to which they were so recently subjected. Trade is not so prospering. Everything is scarce and dear. '!he short crop in America begins to tell upon us in the advanced price of every article of consumption— especially breadrituffe.

"That is the opinicia of thi eesseittee there is no evi dence to Justify them in wooing to the coodusion that Mr. Smartt ie guilty of the charges brought against him by Buford. but, on the contrary, loads theta to the belief that he did sot ase the expressions to Godard which have bees attribeted to him , and that there was no steet we wait of moralise en the art of the pariah authorit ies towards the deceased, Mrs. Gafford. or her children.

Sta,—On the Bth lust. I communicated to you the malt of the Septennul Averages to Chriktmer, 18.54, as de duced from the return publuMtd in we London Gazelle et the 6th Mut.; Wheat C. Old. per imperial bushel. Barley. Oats 2l. And that each 1001. of the tithe rent charge for the year 1856 would amount to SOL 15s. Btd. Several communicsti.us have been addreeted to me expressing surprise that the value of the rent charge should have gradually decremed sines the year 1849, while the pries of wheat has gradually increased during the sante period. In order to show that this may be txplained, I must draw attenticn to the mode is which the question of tithes was settled in 1836. It was enacted by the 67th clause of the Tithe Commute tion Act (6 & 7 Wm. IV., o. 71), that the amount of the rent charge, as awarded or agreed upon, should be divided into three portions, and that every tithe rent charge should be deemed to be ad.* value of such number of imperial bushels, and decimal parts of an imperial bushel of wheat, barley, and oats, as the same would have purchased at the average prices for seven years ending 1 hominy before Cbristmas.day. 183.5. in case one-third part of each rent charge bad been invested in the purchase of wheat, one third part thereof io the purchase of barley, ■ni the re maining one-third part in the purchase of ears. in conformity with the above, we find that 1001. tn. pended in wheat, barley, and oats, would purchase the fol lowing quantities at the average prices for *evert years to Christmas, 1835, as tiled in the London Gazette of Dec. 0, 1836: Per Imps Bush. Imp. Bush. 1-3rd or fa: 6‘.13d. in Wheat, at 76 Old.) Is 94.9354.9 rd or ,C 1.7 ea ad. in Barley, at 14.11 id. again- 1.38.1110:2 1..1rd or 03 3a. ed. in Oats, at 2.. Vd. lent to 212.324244 ENO Os. Od. It is, therefore, clear that the rent charge was not a fixed money payment of 1001., but only such a sum as the above quantities of whest, barley, and oats, are equivalent to, according to the average prices for seven years to each pre ceding Christmas. Tao septennial averagP., as published in the London Gazette, may be shown to be correct by the following state ment of the *canal average.: Wheat Barley Oa.m per imp. qr. per imp. qr. per Imp. qr. e. d. e. d. a. d. 1848 606.... 31 6 .... 20 6 1819 44 3 .... 27 9 .... 17 6 1860 4O 3 .... 23 6 .... 16 6 1851 3B 6 .. • . 24 9 .... 18 7 18.52 4O 9 .... 28 6 .... 19 t 1883 63 3 .. . 33 2 .... 21 0 1864 72 5 .... 36 0 .... 27 11 7)339 11 7)205 2 141 0 8) 48 6 8) 29 3 8) 20 1 Average pm 1 " imp. bush. f 3 7, 26 The year 1847, which, in the above aeccunt, is replaced by the year 1854, was, in consequence of the scarcity which then 'aimed, one of high prices, and particularly so as to barley end oat', Me. : 1847—Wheat, 695. Barley, 44e. 2d.; Oats, 23.. Bd. Os comparing these amounts, which are excluded from the seven years, with thsse of 1854, which are added, It will be evident that the septennial average must necessarily be less than the preceding year, although the price of wheat was a little more in 18.4 than in 1847. We have seen that the 1001. rent ehargo was, from the passing of the act, to be represented by a certain number of bushels of wheat, barley, and oats; therefore, if we value these number. of bushels by the septennial avenge prices, as fixed in the London Gazette of the 6th lost , we shall find the value of 1001. of tithe rent charge fur the year 1866 as follows: 94.93.4449 MAMMA; of vluat, at Ca. Old. per tm. bushel l3 145.421033 „ barley, at 3 71 „ „ 243.134)13 „ oats, at 4 „ „ £B5 15 of I hope the explanatioa I have given will enable any one to satisfy himself at any future period u to the accuracy of th• valuation of the tithe rent charge, as well as of toe Sep tenial average prima of wheat, barley, and oats. It may be of mins use to the owners of tithe rent charge to be aware that by the 20th section of 3 Via e. 15, the half yearly rent chew., which becomes due on t h e I st o f J an., to be regulated by the averages published in the month of January in the preceding year, not by the averages pub imbed a hw dap after the said tat of January.
