Tut railway traffic returns furnish an excellent criterion of the general movement of trade. To be prosperous, the country most be busy ; and if it be busy, the fact most be shown in the statistics of loco motion. The higher the amount of railway traffic, the keener is the race for business. Commercial men mast rash to and fro to get orders and inspect goods; and the goods themselves are always on the move. The raw asaterial—cottoe, wool, flex—is incessantly flowing into the manufacturing districts, and manufsetured articles are inamsautly tieing out again. In return for the one or two articles which a district pro daces and distributes in mares, it wants, in smaller propertioas, a thousand articles only to be procured elsewhere. We cannot take oar breakfast without consuming the produce of half-a-dosen dis tant clime.. W. cannot walk in the open air with- , oat being &prudent in some degree upon the labmir of the Australian sheep-shearer. And this same sheep-shearer, located at the opposite extremity of the globe, may ►ave upon his own beck a portion of the fleece whisk leas paired through his bands, and which has feud its way back to him, by a very cir cuitous route, vie Lancashire or Yorkshire. The Hindu settee cultivator, too, his hie own produce passed back to him in a form in which he knows it not, Manchester having put her mark and levied her toll wpm it. The semi system holde pm within the cestines of oar own country. Mars is a! eseselem interchange of commodities. Ask le exeheoged for iron and tin ware ; real for wheat ; ease and sugar for come grads ; stone for malt liquors. The process is as diner, Wash not /pits so rude, as if done by primitive barter. Beak member of the community i. indebted to tie atm nous of a thousand of his fellows, who are ewer catering for him. Such is trade. There is scarcely a production too valueless for it to grasp, whilst its essiceptione, and the general remits of its operations. rse freqseatly of the grandest and most beneficent mem The railway traffic return', then, form an excel lent criterion of the extent of trade, especially of oar internal trade. A g:ance at them be mese the more interesting now that another twelve monthly period is completed, because they effect the position of mon than three hundred millions of invested capital. From the Weekly Lilt published " under the authority of the Committee of the Stock " Exchange" we have compiled the following state scot, showingthe aggregate receipts of the priocipsi railway ccenpaaiss for the second six months of 1859, compared with the corresponding period of 1858: Trak.

Indeed, the traffic ea the latter exhibit§ an absolute decriers e/ 91. per mile compared with 1868. Into the earls ri this exceptional decline the Ameholders would do well to inquire. May aot0:4111 cause be that the directors of the Eastern Coun lies Railway are not saaciently I attentive to the mnfort of their enstemses Carrying the comparison of the railway trellis of the kingdom farther, we will avail ourselves of a Wake' statement given in HerepatA's Railway hares& From this it appear that the total re slips (upon all those lines which publish weekly or monthly returns) have been 13,381,0201. far the last s; months of 1869, against 12,460,7601. for the eases period of 1868, 12,489,4961. in 1867,12,107,4301. i• 1866,10,998,0021. in 1866, 9,896,1281. in 1864, and 9,144,2891. in 1833. The increase in the six months el 1860, °sowed with 1868, 1687, and 1866, is very tinkled. Finally, the total receipts for the 'bob year 1869 are stated by the same authority at 26,106,1171., against 23.320,9641. in 1868, 23,729,6631. in 1837,22,550,7011. la 1866,20,300,3631. in 1865, 18,599,0661. in 1864, and 16,902,7311. in 1863. This latter statement places in a striking light the constant ries in railway traffic. Each year has shown a great advance over its predecessor, the solitary exception being 1858, when there was a decrease, compared with that busy year 1867. In 1869 all previous experieuee has been largely exceeded. In 1863, we re. collect, railway traffic was thought to have sagetred an enormous development, yet that yeses lives are exceeded by those et 1869 to the attest of no less than 8,203,3881., or about fifty per cent. It is not to be imagined for • moment that then eight millions of traffic have been diverted to the railways from other channels of losomotice• The idea would be preposterous. The remarkable fact is, that entirely new streams of trails Brim every year; that railway traffic creates itself; and that no limit can be fixed to its ultimate extension. This is the secret of the attachment of the public to railway investment', of the tenacity with which they have clung to them through long years of lass and depression occasioned by the ex travagance, carelessness, or pugnacious propensi tim of the managers. The holders had a just faith in the tetnre of • property which was intimately bound up with the heart-string. of the national prosperity. They saw that their aggre gate earnings were increasing year after year, and must go on increasing as long as the national com merce ooatinues based upon the rock of • free and cosmopolitan trade. Their hopes of increased divi dends have often, it is true, been dashed to the ground ; but now that railway economy is en forced, directors' bickering. discouraged, and the general vigilance stimulated, their reward seems to be drawing near. British railway property, as a whole, is once more tieing rapidly in public setima tioa. The specially secured descriptions of stock are scarcely obtainable in the market. Midland Railway ordinary stock has reached 111 per cent. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 103 ; and even Great Western, which Mae little time back fell below 60, has recovered to 71. There is every hope of better times for all these ea dertakiegs, provided directors are kept to their work, and act in their corporate capacity upon the commercial principles which they apply individually in their own affairs. The new year's markets in the manufacturing dis tricts have opened with a very promising appear. soar. Although the accounts tut to hand from the East are not particularly encouraging, the trams tions in Manchester in goods suited to that (parte/ have largely incensed during the peat week, and in advance has taken place in prices. The ciroalan and other trade reports from Manchester fully Onus firm the view repeatedly expressed in the Express, that the past year has been one el almost unexampled prosperity, both to spinners sod manufacturers. The prices of goods have been stea dily on the, rise ever since the year 1861 ; but, owing to the speculation in cotton, which attained an espe cially unhealthy extension in 1867, Manchester derived comparatively little benefit from the rise. A change set in, however, in the year 1868, and acquired signal development during 1869. The de mand for yarns and geode, es Mans. 010105 FlAalla, Bon, and Co. remark, has been great be yond precedent ; the priers established have been higher than any previously known for nearly a quarter of a enitury ; bat the sandy or the raw material has bees epos a eemmensurate sole. Throughout the year, onsequently, the prise of cotton ruled low, compared with the high vales 'dyers* and goods, se that spinners and manu facturers bad • very large margin of profit, of which • fair proportion found its way into the pockets of the operatives, in the form of increased wages. Considerable extensions have asesedingly been made in the manufacturing applimess of that rich and buoy district. The latest amounts from the other seats of mane lecturing industry are likewise favourable. At Huddersfield special reference is made to the low ffithesst of the stocks in the Cloth-hall, and at Real de., to the continued activity of the home demand, .wing to which all the machinery available is fully employed. In some branches of trade at Bradford extraordinary animation prevails, and it is difficult to get orders executed. At Leicester, Not tioghani, and Barnsley business is quite as brisk es meal at this season ; and from Belfast and Dundee the repoirts are fairly satisfactory. At Leeds and some other places a sensible stimulus has been gives by the demand in connexion with the volunteer movemest, for the clothing and equipment of a hun dred thousand men are in question.

There is a sort of expectation that all catholios are to sign the various addresses, however weeded. I am really sorry for the Holy Father parionally ; I believe he has been wmpletely deceived by Antonelli, though I hardly justify a avereign who suffers his eyes to be veiled. I think that he would have barn far happier a conatitational king, if he most lave regal sway, aidesetainly he has hard measure for the benevolent dot lipe with which he began to reign. Therefore, and atemeoliscianse those in whom he trusted deserted him, Illarisve for him, in the **fill position now before lime.

"I have been much pleased with hfr.Petre's letter, sad Lord Fingal's is also creditable. I hope others will speak out, and I am sure that many of those vhs deed the Lerida, address to the Holy Father, MI sa, intending only en expression of devotion to the faith, and of personal devotion to him, and are in truth for from de ny ' at least a great need of reform is matters tem For my part, I lived so snob with Italians in ,that I reesived etrong,and often painful irupreesions.With much excellence, much genuine piety, there are great wants, and the people show the stamp which aids their natural indolence. I was among those whom the English never know, sad hardly see. No one can more strongly appreciate than Ido the necessity of a free and fi rm position for the Head of the Church, in which, apart from sovereigns, more than their equal, and wittiest their heavy crown, his people may heady render unto Cower the things that are Cesar% sad to God the things that are God's, and, consequently, to him whom they believe specially to hold his authority from God. I foresee brighter, happier, and far greater days for the Church when she shakes off the heavy trappings of the civil state. Mash that has been a scandal to others, and yet mere grievous to catholic!, will thus be removed, sad she will appear ea she is. Really some of the addresses are insane. That atrocious • • • tells the Pope that his sovereignty is not a human but a di vine institution, and then,after immortalising Final X., ' one of the most unassuming of men, he takes upon himself to instruct him in his responsibilities. Ah ! what mischief has not that man done in France! what heartbornings between friends, what scruples in tender consciences ! some of the Irish priests deserve a visit to Bethlehem hospital, only it is all smoke, if let alone. I hope the govern. meat will support the Emperor, or he cannot sno oped; and who else has his position or his courage to do what is right, to help the Church, even as the wise doctor gives an emetic? I hope nothing will weaken the cordial help of England. WINDSOR CASTLE, IAX. 7.

Alluding to the excitement in the South, be said : " I firmly believe that the events at Harper's Ferry, by reusing the people to pause and reflect, would bathe means, under Providence, of allaying existing excitement, and to prevent in future a fresh outbreak. I cordially congratulate you upon the final settlement by the Superior Court of the United States of the question of slavery. The right has been established of every citizen to take property, including slaves, into the common terri tories, and to have it protected under the Federal constitution. " All means have been employed, and shall °ou tlaw to be employed, to execute the laws against the slave trade, and those engaged in the unlawful enterprise have been vigorously prosecuted. " The wisdom of the course pursued by the govern ment towards China has been vindicated by the events. "Our relations with the great Empires of Francs and Ramie—ea well as with all other governments, except that of Spain—happily continue to be of the most friendly character. " I am happy to state General Scott has recently returned from the Island of San Juan, the object of which was to carry out the precautionary arrange ments between the governments, having success fully accomplished his mission, and there is now no longer any reason to apprehend collision. " Referring to Mexica, the President recommended employment of military force to enter Mexico, to obtain an indemnity for the past and security for the future." (LATEST FROM SAN FRANCISCO.)

A fact generally remarked upon as important is that the Berlin organ of the Prussian minbterial party, the weekly Prunian Gasett., while adhering to the opinion that the restoration of the dukes in Central Italy would have been the most desirable solution, gives up the project as impossible, and thinks annexation to Sardinia by far the next best thing.

An extraordinary Council of Ministers, at whihh the Emperor presided, was held at the Tuileries at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Immediately on the break ing up of the Council the Emperor and Empress drove oat in a open carriage, the day being very fine, and proceeded along the Rue Rivoli to the Champs Elyse.s and the Bois de Boulogne. Both the Paris and the P;esse note as the lead ing event of the day the reproauction in the Moniteur of an article on Count Walewski's retire• ment, published by a London journal which always paste here for the especial organ of Lord Palmerston. The legal journals, the Droit and Gamete des 214- busaux, contain a consounique from the Procarenr- General's office, the substance of which I anticipated two days ago. It states that no intention wee ever entertained to throw difficulties in the way of M. 011i,ier's prosecuting an appeal against the sentence of suspension pronounced against him, but that the Court of Correctiooal Appeals alone has the power of deciding whether the right exists. A serious legal question bee arisen whether there is any " register " for the reception of appeals in " diwi plinary matters r but it wu never meant to inter fere with the rights and liberties of a full defence. The ProcureurOsneral has summoned M. 011ivier to appear before the Court of Appeal on Jan. 12. The lisperance of Nantes received a waning yes terday, for an article, described by the prefect of the Loire Inferieure u " one tending to throw odium upon oar expeditions to the Crimea and Italy, the leo rims results of which it calumniates." This journal must not be confounded with the Esperance of Nancy, which *tumbled against a warning the other day. The Pays, which yesterday pleaded extenuating oircumstanoes in favour of the Popish robbery of the boy Mortara, now receives the following severe jobation from the Opinion Nationale : The Pays, which calls itself the Jennie' is 1' Empire, has the ill fortune to uuderstand nothing whatever either of the Emperor's polioy, or of the principle' upon which the aspire la founded. Hostile to Italy, favourable to Austria, ft has now the hardihood to offer in apology for the rape of a minor which has crested an Immense sensation throughout Europe, and against which the imperial government has energetically protested. Ons might fancy that the Pays would at hest be thought worthy of commendation by the clerical party. But it has not even so much good luck The Niger treats it with oontempt. What can the Pays want, sad to what public does it speak !

PARIS, SATUIDAT EVILWINO. The Parse ears that among all the various rumours of the day it considers one only as worthy of notice, " that is, the mission of Lord Cowley. He has a mission, and it is a truly important one." The Courrier du Dionaeeke (jut oat) states that on December 30 Cardinal Antunelli handed to the Duke de Oramoot, at Rome, a very serious diplo matic note touching the pamphlet, and the impres sion produced on the Pope s mind by the circum stances which accompanied its publication. It results, says the Courtier, from an analysis of this note, not only that the departure for Paris of the plenipotentiary of the Holy See is adjourned, but that the Pope will take no part in the Congress =lees the Emperor Napoleon publicly expresses opinions diametrically opposed to those of the pam phlet. The question therefore whether Napoleon DI. will submit to be bullied by Rome is now propounded in the most distinct and positive manner. The Opinion Nationale calls the attention of the government to the fact that a recruiting bureau for the Papal army is established at Marseilles, and it publishes a oopy of a printed paper, to which there in no printed name, in which a reverend father, "the Jesuit delegated," attests that he believes the recruit to belong to the "catholic, apostolic, and Roman reli gion."

Dubuis son, the printer, for refusing to perform a contract to print his " Letter to the Bitonniers" as a pamphlet, on the ground that it had been the subject of a warn ing when it appeared as an article iu a newspaper, was argued yesterday before the Tribunal of Com merce. The court postponed judgment for a fort night. The Court of Caseation decided yesterday, over ruling the Imperial Court of Dijon, that the offence of introducing foreign journals into Prance is one which does not admit or a verdict " with extenuat ing circumstances," it being a simple "contraven tion" of the new press laws of 1862, to which the provisions of the old penal code do not apply. The beautiful park of Moneesox, near the Batignolles, is about to be converted into a public gerdes. It would be a great boon to the Parisians it it were merely to be thrown open just as it is; but many improvements are oontemplared,and it is even said that a grand conservatory, or jardin d'hiver, such as was built at great cost by Philippe d'Orleans, Duke de Chartres, the founder of this residence, will shortly be re-established, and that the lawns and basins under the glass roof will be peopled with rare animals and aquatic birds. A threatening letter writer of a very original species appeared at the bar of the correctional tri bunal this week.

He sent a circular, I together with a proof sheet, to every one of them, politely stating that any :lady who might wish her name not to appear in his book must be good enough to remit him the sum of 15f. The following speci mensof the biography were read in court: Ilmdante A— livia Rue —, No. —, first door; roarrkd fu 1844, three childtea ; pays badly ; feet very difficult to fit, Instep too flat, two corns and them bunions; walks awk wardly, sad warn her oboes out in the inside very fast.

ROME. ROME SATUIDAT. The news of Count Walswski's resignation has proclaim! a very painful impression on the Pope, Yesterday, after the celebration of the sacred cere mony of St. Epiphania, his Holiness called together the principal members of the sacred college, and declared to them that he would never fail in the mission which God has entrusted to him, and that, like bin predeosseor, Pius VII., he would rather suffer exile and even martyrdom. If oar (Morning Post) information be correct, the Pope addressed a letter to the Emperor of the French, in which he demanded a collective gua rantee by the European powers of the temporal dominions of Rome, as determined by the treaties of 1815, and made the complianoe with this demand a sine qua non to any participation is the Congress. It is stated that the Emperor of the French, in the reply to the Holy Father, which must have reached Rome on Friday last, distinctly refused to amply with the Pope's request, adding, that it was utterly impossible for him to employ his influence in urging such a proposal on the other European powers, as he intended himself bringing forward in the Congress the scheme advocated in the official pamphlet. Wish the arrival of this very answer on Friday morning which dictated the lan guage and inspired the tone of the address made on the lams day to the assembled cardinals by his Holiness, of which we are informed by last night's telegram ? "Of the sincerity of the Emperor's de claration," says the Post, "it is impossible to doubt when we further add that the re presentatives at Path of the different powers summoned to the Congress have been already not merely sounded but canvassed respecting the line which their governments may be disposed to take, and that the adoption of the proposals in the Congress (should the Congress ever meet) can scarcely be considered doubtful."
