THE EIPR►PBO TWURSDAX EVENING, JANUARY 3, 1861. rss QUERY VICTORIA, WITH mit TELEGRAPH CABLE, ASHORE AT PLYMOUTH. The attempt to float the atatamahip Queen Victoria has proved unsuccessful, although very powerful means have been adopted. The starboard chain cable was passed under her fore foot and made taut to the government lump on the port aide forward, wad the port cable wit. fastened to a lump o• the starboard aide; both lumps were hove down two feet below their ordinary draught. The Admiralty steaming Confidence was fastened to her starboard ipiarter, the Zephy on the port ; both backed astern with full power. The Queen Victoriiis propeller was cried to the utmost, and two hawsers fastened to • buoy were strained by her capstan. At high water (10 o'clock) the combined exertions of these forces did not start her one inch. She lies on the sand aft, and on rubble and stones forwanl. At high water the tidal mark on her stem was 12 feet 11 inches. Her hull seems to have sustained no injury, and she does not leak. To-day (Thursday) part of the cargo will probably be removed, and during the night another effort to float her may be made. PLYMOUTH, TIC HADAY, 10.30 A.M. . _ All Attempts to float the steamship Queen Victoria, which grounded yesterday in this harbour, have proved fruitless. The ■tram•tup and dockyard lumps have just left her. The cable on board will bare to be takes out. LIFEBOAT SERVICES. HANSDRY, NORTHUMBERLAND, JAN. 1. —L_4t night, during a heavy gale from the S.E., the schooner Prospect. of Berwick, foundered in the Coquet Roads. At break of day the ship's crew of six men were observed in their boat in a moat perilous position. The Han.dey life boat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, was immediately manned and launches!, and proceeded off to their help. and afterward. succeeded w bringing the six men, who were nearly benumbed with the cold sod frost, ashore. The crew of rho lifeboat spoke in the highest terms of her behaviour. Several women assisted in launching the boat. Patecrow, CORNWALL, JAN. I.—Last night, during a violent gale of wind, with a heavy sea, the schooner Nu4gett, of Bideford, -.trended on the boomed Bar Sand off this place. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Instituti o n was launched about 12 o'clock. Upon reaching the ship she was found ',motioned. The lifeboat's craw, however, while endeavouring to t...0t her, observed a beet at anchor in the surf, and just within the entrance to the harbour. The lifeboat immediately pulled off to the boat, in which was found the whooner's crew of five men. They were all very much afraid that they would be driven out to sea, b 0 furiously was the gale driving, and sn strongly was the sea running, but the lifeboat succes.fully contended with the apparently insuper• able obstacles, and succeeded, after great difficulty, in reach ing the land. The installation of Alderman Atkinson, con servative, as Lord Mayor of Dublin for the ensuing year, took place oa Tuesday. An explanation has been received of the mode in which news from Pekin reaches St. Petersburg. The recent speedy telegrams regarding the Chinese treaty were transmitted, it appears, in the usual way. The Rusaiaas hare • regular courier system from Pekin, with relay horses, and the despatches are delivered up to the first telegraph-office in connexion with St. Petersburg which the bearer can reach. The route is rid Mongolia, Kiakhta, and Irkutsk, and the common mail reaches the latter place within 16 days of it. departure from Pekin. From Irkutsk to St. Petersburg 17 days are required to the telegraph office at Casio. A Naples letter, in the Debate of the 24th ult., says : " The Virgin and the Child are this Christmas-eve quite revolutionary. The holy infant, in almost all the m►ngers which have been fitted up, is dressed as a Garltal dian ; the Virgin wears a magnificent tricoloured dress over an enormous crinoline, and on St. Joseph are placed the moustachies of Victor EmmanueL The on and the ass strut about in tricolour favours. The three Magi are dressed lib M. Mini°, and they have a unite of majon in red blouses and the tunic of the National Guard. Francis IL plays the rule of Herod, and amongst other personages are figures of Father Gavassi, Bertani, and all the berme of the Claribeldian cohort."

A Toronto oorrem writes on the lit : "The judges of the Court of Queen's Bench gave their decision on Saturday in the cam of Aoderson. the fugitive slave. Chief Justice Robinson and Justice Drum deekhd that the priaouer should be delivered up to the United States autlionties. Justice McLean held that the evidence against him was insufficient to warrant his rendition. The prseoaer's counsel have applied for an appeal to the bench judges,of and it is to be decided next Saturday whether an ap will he allowed. It is likely eventually to be Moog t before the Privy Council in England for decision. The greatest excitement prevails throughout the country on the subject." Sta F. B. HEAD.—It is only fair, perhaps, to state here, once for all, that we speak of Sir Francis Band Head from personal knowledge, that we have for many years enjoyed his acquaintance both in and out of the hunting kid, and have had daily opportunities of judging I his exceiheme as a complete and scientific bantam. On the many valudge qualities he has shown in hie meritorious life, use is public as it has been genial in private, this II no plum to enlarge. It is with Sir Francis as • rider and a writer that we have now to do ; 0,4 with Sir Francis as the soldier, the politician, and the diplomatist, but with Hr Francis as he is depicted in the frontispiece to the book under our notice, in his jackboots and scarlet coat, seated by some Northamptonshire ooverteide, with • pleasant smile on his healthy, comely face and a bridle in bin horde mouth, of which, although his own invention, we never could bring ourselves to admit the superexcellesee. After taming, then, as we have said, and studying every description of horse, in almost country that produces the animal, Sir Francis towards middle life found himself in the enviable sod independent volition of a man who can settle where he likes. His lease of one residence was out, happy man ! and he had not engaged another (think of that, baronial proprietor, mortgaged up to your chin, and the roof of the castle wanting thorough repair!) Dining out one evening i n London, he asked a well known sporting character where abouts in England he should settle, supposing he were com pletely at liberty, and wished to eery the 'put of fox hunting in its utmost perfection. "As near Market ]far. borough en ever I could get," was the reply. A fortnight afterwards Sir Francis was settled, bag and baggage, in • comfortable home in the little village of Wenders, withal two miles oh the beforementioned town. For tem or eleven mesons be hunted regularly thence, with the Quorn, Pytchlev, and Cotteenaore hounds. Not one of the supporters of Aber of there famous pecks lad wishes he L hunted with them still. --Framer's ifogazini fur January. SHARD LI81&-(THIS DAY.)

There are few movements of interest in the stock market to-day. Generally, firmness pre vails. The funds, though very quiet, are well sup ported at yesterday's prices. A rise has occurred in Great Northern and Midland railway stocks. There is also a slight revival of inquiry for the securities of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted 67fr. 45c., being Sc. better than yesterday. Consols are officially marked 924 and ex div., for the account (Jan. 10). The present quotation is 923 to 4. The official business report is as follows :—Bank Stock, 233 ; Three per Ceata. Roluoed. 924, 3 ; New Three per Cents., 924, ; India stock, fOr account, 2194 ; ditto Five per Cent. 1860, for account, 1014, ex div. ; ditto Bonds, 10s., os. dia. ; Exchequer Bills, 35 , 45., ls. dis., par. There is still little business in foreign stocks, and scarcely any change has occurred in prices. The Turkish Loan of 1864 is quoted 704 to 714, and that of 1858, 564 to 574. Sales are recorded as follows : —Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 100 ; Mexican Three per Cents., for amount, 211 ; Portuguese Three per Cents., - 1853, 464, ex div. ; Russian Five per -IDents, 1054 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents - ..; 921, 93, ex div. ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854, for account, 701, 71 ; ditto Six per Ceuta., 1868, for account, 57, 564 ; ditto 1001. bonds, 571. It is of some importance to remember that a con siderable pressure will be put upon France, as well as upon ourselves, by the crisis in America. That country is one of the best customers that France possesses. During the last few weeks the American orders for French manufactures and other goods have rapidly slackened. They have now virtually ceased, and many previously given have been countermanded. America is the better able to dispense with any further supply, during her ex isting embarrassments, because many of the articles which she is in the habit of IM porting from France are of a luxurious character. The position will therefore be that France must go on importing from America the raw materials of manufacture, as well as bread stuffs, which she cannot do without,whilat America declines for the present to take her goods in return. This is a state of things which deserves the serious attention of the Directors of the Bank of France, as it constitutes an additional element of difficulty for them. Much activity continues to prevail in the dis count market, the amount of bills which fall due in the first week in January being large. The Piedniontese home Five and Three per Cents. were yesterday placed on the Stock Exchange official list. The former were dealt in at 77} and 77k, ex div., with the exchange fixed at 25fr. The 474,0001. in Australian gold by the Great Britain reached London yesterday, and about 56,0001. was sent into the Bank. A portion has been sold ; but its destination remains to be deter mined. The Edinburgh, which left Liverpool yesterday for New York, took 106,000/. in specie. The steamer Pere, which will leave to-morrow, will take 154,3761. in specie, of which 8,1681. is gold and the rest silver. Subjoined are the parti culars, viz.:—For Calcutta, silver, 73,4901., and gold, 651. ; Shangbae , silver, 67,883. ; Hong Kong, 'silver, 4,7351. ; Madras, gold, 7,103/. ; Singapore, gold, 1,0001. ; and for Malta, silver, 1001. At St. Petersburg the exchange has recovered to 35 15-16 d. It was lately quoted 3511 Messrs. William Surridge and Son, provision meeoliants, of West Smithfield, have stopped pay ment, with liabilities estimated at 30,0001. or 40,000/. It is thought in some quarters that the liquidation will not be very unfavourable. A meeting was held yesterday of the creditors of Mr. John Hades timber and slate merchant, of Millwall. The Fades, prepared by Messrs. Harding, Paola and Co., the accountants, esti mates the liabilities at 17,281 t, and the assets at 6,6751., showing about 7s. &l. in the pound. It was mentioned that Mr. Hades has been insolvent about two years, and that his books have been badly kept. Owing to the latter circumstance, no statement accounting for the deficiency could be presented. An opinion was expressed, however, that Mr. Hades has not been aware of his real position. The stock in trade, plant, tkc., form the principal asset, being valued at 4,3081. Consider able discussion took place with reference to the bad debts (9,3641.), which have been spread over a number of years, and are partly due from firms that have been gasetted as bankrupts. The pawn ing of stock by the insolvent was also referred to, and the necessity of an investigation by a com mittee was urged. It was ultimately agreed, how ever, to accept a composition of 6s. Bd. in the pound, secured, payable in instalments extending over six months. The accounts from New York refer to a feature which is not without encouragement to the holders of American securities here. It appears that there is a decided scarcity of many kinds of stock for im mediate delivery—so much so that the execution of some of the English orders to buy has been at tended with considerable difficulty. Purchases in some instances can be effected more cheaply for de livery sixty days hence than for cash. This circum stance denotes that the present depressed position of American securities is in no small degree the resu:t of speculations for the falL The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week a decrease of 8,0111. ; the Great Western an increase of 4801. ; the Great Northern an increase of 2,1161. ; and the London and South Western an increase of 5631. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Railway of Canada for the week ending Dec. 14 were 8,356/. sterling, being 9921. more than in the correspond ing week of last year. Scottish Australian Investment stock, which has risen 6 or 7 per cent, during the last month, is firm at 136 to 141, being scarce in the market. WICDNISDLY Emma. Consols, which closed yesterday at 92 it to es div., for the 10th January, opened and closed to day at the same quotation. The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for account (Jan. 10), 924, j, ex div. ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 92, I ; New Three per Cents., 92f ; Thirty Years Annuities, expiring in April, 1885, 181, India Four per &at.

Not much business was done in foreign stocks. The Turkish Loan of 1864 closed at 70.1 to 71, and that of 1858 at Hi to 57. Spanish bonds were firm. There was no variation of moment in the market for Bank shares. Those of the English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered Bank met with some in quiries. As regards miscellaneous stocks, there was a slight improvement in Electric Telegraph. The closing quotations for shares in new under takings to-day were as follow :--Ocean Marine In surance, 3 2 to 4 prem. ; Thames and Mersey Marine, 1 3-16 to 5-16 prem. ; Universa!

The engines are now idle, and the water is at the edit. Men from each of theee miner are employed in clearing the run, which we hope will be completed in a few days. There is one costa- Wilma on our side, that when the edit is set right two es Wee days will fork our water." From Tinmpet United (Dec. 29), Captain G. R. Odgers writs:—"Tbere is no alteration in this mine. I am sorry to say that the weather has entizelystopped the building of the engine-house this week. Should the weather prove favour able next week I hope we shall get the house up. We have the engine fitted up nicely, and the engineers are waiting for the holm."

AN °Frit EN:B Lear.—ln mentioning the wor3 " fall," we cannot forbear quoting the miraculous escape of a general officer in the West Indus, to which the famous leap of the Lost of the kfamelukes, or the engulfment of Curtius in the Roman Foram, are hut as the hop-skip-and jump of a ichoolbo,'s play ; nay, the imaginary descent of Monte Chrieto in his wick through the air, is tame and com monplace whom compared with this real adventure of General Moore's, the veracity of which is attested by the word of a British officer. Here is his statement, as quoted by Sir Francis Head :—'• United Service Club, March I eth, lAn —ln June, 1848, at the Island of Dominioo, in the West Indies, I fell over a precipice of two hund red and thirty-seven feet, perpendicular height, upon the rocks by the sea-side. This occurred about a quarter past 7 o'clock. p.m., then quite dark, as no twilight emits in the tropics. Every bone of my horse was broken ; and I conceive my escape front instant death the must miraculous that ever occurred. _ . . I have often ihought of putting down all the circumetancei of that extraordinary accident, but the dread of being taken for a Baron Iluivhansen has restrained me. Ido not expect that anyone will believe it, although there are many Imng witnesses. Nor do I expect any sympath for me soon as I could hold a pen 1 detailed the re ; to my mother to account for my long silence.
