From Jan. From Jan 5, 1854, 5, 1855, to Jan. 5, to Jan. 5, 1855, 1854, inclusive. inclusive. From Jan, 5, 1856, to Jan. 5, 1857, inclusive. For every lb. weight of Tea imported into the United Kingdom... IL 9d. Is. 60. I Is. 3d. LITERATURE. Is. 0,1, Songs from Uncle Tom's Cabin. J. Williams, Cheapside. The fact of all these words being the composition of Mr. Joseph Carpenter, will ensure their meet ing with a favourable reception from the public. The poetry of this author is scarcely rivalled by any song-writer of the present day, not only for its beauty and simplicity, but for its appeal to the feelings of the singer, and its easy adaptation to music. Mr. Branchi Taylor's compositions are not without merit, though they are somewhat elaborate. James Perring, Henry Farmer, and Edward Hine, have very happily adapted their music to the vari ous subjects, and the whole collection is very pleas ing. The interest so universally felt in " Uncle Tom's Cabin," will, doubtless, add to their attrac tion. Bentley's Miscellany.—The first article in this number is a slight sketch of the life of Daniel Web ster, with a portrait. One of the most interesting "A Day at Mayence," but it is treated what light and satirical manner. The subjects aec somewhat m i e s memoirs of Count de la Marck are concluded ; and there is a variety of other articles, among which may be noticed " The Father of the English Drama," and a " Visit to Italy," by an architect, which is continued. There is a review of " Basil" and " Esmond," and also several poetical contri butions. The Art Journal.—The Art Journal is this month more than usually rich in pictorial attrac tions. We have a beautiful engraving, by Taylor, of West's picture of the " Installation of the first Knights of the Garter." Pickersgill's picture from Spenser, misnamed " Florimel and the 'Witch," has been engraved by Periam. .The effects of light and shade are beautifully managed in this eng ravin g . The other large plate is Prior's engrav in g from Wilson's " Ruins in Italy." In addition to these, a variety o f excellent woodcuts, and abu ndance of artistic information and criticism are, as usual, to be found in the Art Journal. TEE FRENCH EMPIRE. A decree appears i ordering that the coin to be henceforth struck shall boar the effigy of the Em peror, with the words on one side, "Napoleon 111., s Empereur," and on the other, "Empire Franga i s." The only other decree in the Monitcur is one in favour of the orphans and sons of poor naval officers at college, allowing a prolongation or in crease of bourse. Great satisfaction has been felt in Paris at the recognition of the Emperor by England in a man ner so gracious and friendly. The speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Monday evening, communicating to the House of Commons the con duct of the British Government with regard to the re-establishment of the Empire, has caused a very favourable impression. No doubt is felt any longer that the northern powers will follow the example set by England, for the reason assigned by Mr. Disraeli, that the Emperor, by taking the title of Napoleon 111., does not in any way wish to assert his hereditary claim to the Empire, while he voluntarily accepts all the Governments and their acts which have existed since 1814. On Tuesday night the funds became firmer, and the depression which had been for some days weighing on public securities gave way to more animated speculation. Fresh employment is opening every day for builders, in whose hands it used to be said lay the peace of Paris, it being a sort of proverb that when building was brisk all things went on well. • The marriage of the Marquis de Puysegur with Mdlle. Louise Leroy de Saint Arnaud, daughter of the Minister of War, was solemnised. on Tuesday in the chapel of the Senate. The Cardinal Arch bishop of Bordeaux officiated. Her Imperial High ness Princess Mathilde, the Ministers, seine of the marshals, and many other distinguished persons were present. Experiments are at present making by the 2d Regiment of Artillery, at Valence, of the system of campaigning artillery invented by the Emperor Napoleon 111., and which bears his name. This system consists in having such artillery exclu sively of 12-pounders, instead of 8 and 12, and of howitzers, as at present, and the difficulty is in obtaining the same effects with the 12-pounders as are produced by howitzers. On Tuesday evening the "Emperor honoured the Italian Theatre with his company, to witness the first representation of Verdi's new opera of .Luisa Miller. On the preceding evening he visited the Academie Imperiale de Musique, where the Juif Errant was performed. M. Audry de Puyraveau, who was a member of the Constituent Assembly in 1848, died three days ago, aged 70. He was for many years a member of the Chamber of Deputies in the reign of Louis h Philippe, and had also a seat in the Chamber under Charles . He took a leading part in the Revolu- • tion of 1830, and acted as the aide-de-camp of General Lafayette. M. Pellapra, one of the most wealthy private capitalists of Paris, died on Monday. An advertisement appeared yesterday from the company of the united journals, the Pays, now bearing the additional title of Journal de l' Empire, and the Constitutionnel, proposing to raise a capi tal of 3,000,000 f., in 6,000 shares of 500 f. each. The advertisements produce upwards of 800,000 f., so that a profit of from 18f. to 22f. per cent. is pro mised to subscribers. PARIS BOURSE, Dec.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY. 2 The following telegraphic dispatch reached Paris 2 ' 'esterday. ... MADRID, FRIDAY, DEC. 3. The Gazette of this day contains a project of a new constitution, published on royal authority alone. The principal provisions are : To make the Senate a body of hereditary legis lators, And to reduce the number of the Chamber of Deputies to 171, Each deputy to be appointed by 150 of the most heavily taxed electors. There are many other projects of administrative reform, all of a reactionary character. Public excitement is very great. The funds rose.

The duration of service will be eight years ; about one-eighth of the total of the army 6 ; will enter into the reserve in December of every 6, year ; by this means the Austrian reserve will be about 90,000 strong on the Ist January, 1854. Negotiations are being carried on between Aus tria and several German Governments for the pur- pose of concluding a convention, in virtue of which the subjects of the contracting powers in either of the states will, when ill, receive gratuitous medical advice and attendance. We learn from Berlin, that the state of Prince Charles has become so much worse that serious fears are entertained for his life. The Prussian Government intends to introduce into the Press Law of last year an article which was struck out during the discussion of the bill ; it gave the Minister of the Interier the power to pro hibit the introduction into Prussia of any work hostile or dangerous to the order and morals of the State. Foreign newspapers can be prohibited and stopped at the post-office, but foreign books and pamphlets can only be seized and their sale sus pended after importation, a Court of Law having to decide whether that suspension is to be con tinued, or the work, in certain cases, is to be de stroyed. By the proposed amendment to last year's bill, books will be placed on the same footing as newspapers, if they are published in a foreign country. • The Saxon Government has announced that the persons imprisoned for their participation in the insurrection of 1849 will be pardoned, and set free before Christmas. Dr. Herz, of Dresden, Advo cate Steinert, of Zwickrau, and an official named Kranz, of Gruenhain, will therefore be liberated from the dungeons of Hubertusburg, to which they were condemned for life. The construction of railroads in Hungary is ac tively proceeding. In addition to those, which the Government is building, the Danube team Com pany will build one from the great coal mines of Fuenfldrchen to Mohacs ; and the great Vienna banker, Baron Sina, will build one from Ofen, vii Raab, to Vienna, thereby opening the shortest way for the transport of the immense supplies of corn from Wieselburg, and making the capital the ch i e f grain market. But he has a more direct private interest in the undertaking, because the line would touch some large estates of his, and also greatly increase the traffic on the suspension bridge between Ofen and Pesth, of which he holds almost all the shares. A Konigsberg firm, Pollack's heirs, has obtained a concession for a line of steamers from Stettin to St. Petersburg. The ministerial gazette warns merchants to send their shipments for the Levant vid Hamburg or London, and not by Trieste, be cause all packages are opened by the Austrian cus tom house officers, and not only damaged by care less repacking, but also not unfrequently pillaged. Travellers through Austria, too frequently have to complain of missing things, particularly shirts, after their trunks have been searched by the Austrian douaniers at provincial station. The number of ships which have entered the port of Hamburg this year down to the 30th of November is 4,190, in chiding 682 steamers ; the number during the same period last year was 3,934 including 566 steamers. This year there were 3,744 arrivals from European, and 446 from transatlantic. ITALY. In consequence of the difficulty of obtaining na tive hands in the islands of Sardinia for the con struction of the new system of roads lately planned, 400 Piedmontese workmen were shipped over from Genoa on the 2d. The state of the island is far from satisfactory, the new law on the rights of landowners having greatly incensed the numerous class of wandering shepherds, who were hitherto allowed to let their flocks graze freely everywhere without any charge, and often destroyed valuable trees and plants in return. These people are so enraged at the loss of this liberty, as they call it, that they openly threaten the landowners with death who should enforce the new law which has been made in their favour. _ A correspondent, well acquainted with Turin, writes from that city on the 29th ult. :—" The rapid extension of the capital of Piedmont is truly snrprising. After a two months' absence I have returned hither, and felt almost like a stranger, as I saw the new mansions which have sprung up one after another in the neighbourhood of the Porta Nueva, Porta Po, Porta Susa, and looked at the elegant cafés which stand on what was yesterday waste ground. Two new churches, the protestant church and La Chiesa, are rising, and are likely to be the chief ecclesiastical ornaments of the capital. Wealthy capitalists have embarked freely in build ing speculations, and are paying large prices for sites of palazzi to_supplythe increasing demand, THE SHARE MARKETS. BRITISH RAILWAYS.

The vast hall , which was brilliantly lighted and decorated with flags in the usual manner, was crowded in every part. About seven o'clock the right hon. Thomas Challis, Lord Mayor, took the chair, supported, among others, by the following distinguished persons :—The Earl of Lonsdale, the Duke of Northumberland, the Earl-of Derby, Vis count Hardinge, Chief Baron Pollock, Mr. Ingersoll (the American Minister), Sir J. Pakington, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer (who was received with loud cheering upon his arrival), Mr. Henley, Lord Stanley, Lord John Manners, Sir V. Jolliffee, Lord C. Hamil ton, Mr. Christopher, Mr. Stafford, Mr. F. Mackenzie, Lord H. Lennox, Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Baron Alder son, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Talfourd, Mr. Justice Wightman, and other judges, Mr. Masterman, Sir J. Duke, Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Carter, Mr. Sheriff Croll, Lord D. Stuart, Baron Rothschild, &c Sir W. Cubitt, Mr. James Macgregor , Mr. W. Brown, After dinner the loving cup went round, and The LORD MAYOR proposed "The health of her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen," whose mild and gentle reign, and whose unfaltering attachment to constitutional principles had won her the universal affections of her people—affections which had proved a barr?er against those convulsions and agitations which had ruined the comfort, peace, happiness, and even the thrones of foreign countries. (Loud cheers.) But we were no less indebted to her Majesty for the exhibition of those milder virtues which distinguished her in all the relations of life, and which offered a bright example to every class of the community. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the health of Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, anti the other members of the Royal Family," said Prince Albert has eminently entitled himself to the esteem and confidence of all classes in the country. Occupying the most exalted po sition, he has opened to himself a noble career of useful ness. He has aimed to extend the advantages of useful knowledge and practical science to the operative classes ; and thus to qualify them for success in that unrestricted competition which public events are opening before them. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR, in proposing " The Army and Navy, said he felt bound to make a passing but respect ful reference to the loss which this country had sustained by the death of that great commander, the Duke of • Wellington. It was a satisfaction to know that he had left behind him many in both branches of the service who would, if need be, nobly emulate his prowess in war, and, above all, would, like him, place the highest value. on the blessing of peace. (Cheers.) His Lordship said he would couple the navy with the health of the Duke of Northumberland, who had never lost a friend or made an enemy, and the army with the name of Lord Hardinge, in whom the spirit of the departed hero, if it existed any where, must, he said, exist. (Loud cheers.) The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, in returning thanks for the navy, said there were few rewards which the navy more highly appreciated than the approbation of their fellow-countrymen, and especially of the city of London. Happily, this country at present enjoyed peace abroad and contentment at home. The only duty which the navy, therefore, had to perform was to protect our com merce in every portion of the eivilised world. (Cheers.) Lord HARDINGE, who was received with great cheer ing, on the part of the army returned his grateful thanks. Referring to the great loss which the country had sus• tained in the Duke of Wellington, he said they had been accustomed to hear this toast acknowledged by one who stood pre-eminent in fame, in honour, and in patriotism, and to whose achievements this country was greatly in debted for the peace and happiness it now enjoyed. (Cheers.) The army would best infitate his great ex ample by preferring the performance of their duty to every other consideration, and he believed they would, like the late Duke, be always ready to show due subor dination to the civil authority and to the laws of their country. (Cheers.) And if necessity should arise, he believed that her Majesty's army, in its present discip line, would, as heretofore, prove that they had not dege nerated from those glorious times when they were led to victory by their late illustrious commander. (Cheers.) He was most proud to receive the approbation of his fellow-countrymen. He felt proud, also, not only to be at the head of his profession, but to be at the head of one of the noblest armies that any country ever possessed. (Loud cheers.) The LORD MAYOR proposed " The health of the late . Lord Mayor." Alderman HUNTER acknowledged the compliment. The LORD MAYOR said he was delighted to have among his guests the representative of a country be tween whom and this country an interchange of kindly feeling was so much to be desired, and gave " His Ex cellency the American Minister, and the Representatives of Foreign Powers." (Cheers.) Mr. INGERSOLL returned thanks. lie regretted that he was not accompanied by more of his fellow-Ministers on this occasion, that they might have seen the assembled loyalty, and, he might add, the assembled beauty, pre sent in that hall. If so, they would have been satisfied of the truth of the old adage, that " the absent are in the wrong." The country which he had the honour to represent was excelled by none other in love and admi ration for the people of this country. They derived their knowledge from the same instructors, and their habitf from the same examples. The charters of the middle ages—the Bill of Rights, the Habeas Corpus—were theirs as well as ours. He addressed them in the same copious language which they spoke, and his fellow-countrymen studied the same books, and arrived at the same conclu sions of peace and happiness. To illustrate the feelings borne to the people of this country, he might remind them that a gentleman of London (Mr. T. Baring), without any particular rank, or any other title, but that of being a London merchant, came to the United States, and there received the honours elsewhere paid to a conqueror. (Cheers.) When the people of England subscribed to relieve the Irish from famine, his fellow countrymen were not backward in rendering their assistance, and lately, when the expeditions were fitted out to ascertain the fate of Sir J. Franklin, the Ameri cans endeavoured also to come to his rescue. (Cheers.) Since he (Mr. Ingersoll) had come to England he had received those marks of hospitality and kindly inter course which denoted the feelings entertained towards his country. He had seen to-day the loyalty with which the Throne was regarded, and he, too, was willing to say with them all, "God save the Queen." (Cheers.) After an allusion to the gratifying spectacle which was presented on the occasion of the funeral of the Duke of Wellington, Mr. Ingersoll, who, like many other speakers, was indistinctly heard where we were placed, resumed his seat amid the hearty plaudits of the com- re-w ;ccur: pany. The LOUD MAYOR said, that whatever their party feelings might be, they would drink with affection and esteem " The health of the Earl of Derby and Her Majesty's Ministers." (Cheers.) The noble earl was distinguished not more by the elevation of his rank, his great power of eloquence, and his great in fluence, than by his moral integrity, which inspired con fidence in all. He was glad to have this opportunity of expressing his high approbation of the noble earl's character and conduct since he had had the opportunity of observing it as a member of the House of Commons. He thought there was among all those whom he was addressing a hearty, unanimous, and cordial wish that the present Government might succeed in promoting more than any other Government had been able to do the social, commercial, and political prosperity of tile country. (Cheers.) The Earl of DERBY was received with enthusias cheering. He said,—My Lord Mayor, my Lords, ladies, and gentlemen,—l am sure I may say for all my col leagues that which I ma?say in all sincerity and sim plicity of feeling for myself, that it affords me the deepest gratification to be enabled to have the honour of assist ing this day at this magnificent banquet, deferred as it has been, judiciously and necessarily, from the original period, when this country and this great metropolis wer e alike wrapped in glo om, and when preparations were being made for that great solemnity which would ill have assorted with any demonstration of I public f e stivity. (Hear, hear.) And if for a moment ert to that great solemnity which has been so feelingly alluded to by the Minister for the United States, who has preceded me,, it is only that I may have the oppor tunity of expressing here what I have expressed else whero—the pride with which I feel myself to be the countryman of those vast masses who knew so well how to conduct themselves on that great occasion —(loud cheers) —and the feeling of almost self-humiliation with which I asked myself, " What can I have done to hold so high a place among such a people ?" (Cheers.) Al low me to take this opportunity, in the heart of this great city, to express also my admiration of the perfect arrangement and good order, kept indeed with ease, but not with the less merit, by all those who were placed in high authority to superintend on that great occasion. And, without making any invidious distinction, I may say that, excellent and exemplary as were the arrange ments in every part of the route, undoubtedly those on this side of Temple-bar were by no means inferior to those on the other. (Cheers.) And I am bound to give the utmost credit for the admirable arrangement and good order preserved by those who had the charge of watching over and controlling the proceedings in and about our magnificent ca thedral. I assure you, gentlemen, that the order of day, the solemnity of that scene, and the feelings which were excited by the incalculablealiinaso s s u e r foreign people who were assembled, struck. admiration. (Cheers.) visitors with astonishment and :Wm , And I only regret that so many of t uieltrisatyleft country of h eelsng this before they could have different o them day a spectacle of a very kind, but which would hardly have filled them with less admiration, though of a very different tone and e aet . er. My Lord Mayor, my lords, ladies and gentlemen, it would be highly gra tifying to me to receive in my private and personal ca pacity such ma rks of good and kindly feeling as those . w ith which you hav e Honoured me. But it is far more gratifying, t o receive these marks of your approval, not i n my private an d personal capacity, t but in conjunction i w ith those colleagu es with whom is my pride and happiness to act as the Ministers of this great country.. In an assembly such as this, I cannot expect--nay, cannot desire, to find an entire unanimity of sentiment or expression upon political matters. But I may say that I shall be happy in my position as Minister if I find an opposition so expressed, and my political adver saries using such language as has been held by the Lord Mayor. (Cheers and laughter.) I may indul ge th e h o p e , although Ministe rs ma y not enjoy the honour of the po litical confidence of the members for Finsbury (cheers and laughter), that occasions may arise when they may yet hope to receive the support and co-operation of the Lord Mayor of London. (Cheers.) Btit, however that may be, of one thing I am sure, that no difference of politi cal opinion, no difference on any question of public in terest, will inteilere either with the cordiality of feeling with welch we meet on occasions like tlie:"li - Fesent, or in more linportant matters, when for the preservation of peace, for the maintenance of order, for the public weal, and the interests of the country, it may be necessary,— it often must be necessary,—for the Minister of the Crown to co-operate in the public service with the chief_ Magistrate of the city of London. (Cheers.) My Lord Mayor, I need hardly assure you that to maintain that cordial co-operation and thoSe good and kindly feelings, only for the more agreeable conduct of public busi neSs, but also in those far more important considerations connected with the welfare of the country over which in a certain manner we have to presides-will be the first and most prominent object of her Majesty's Government. (Cheers.) For every public man who is placed in the high and responsible situation which I hold, and who is called upon to discharge the arduous duties thrown upon the shOulders of any man who ventures to undertake the duty of dealing with the complicated affairs of this country, must first desire to deserve the good-will and confidence of his fellow -countrymen. The highest and noblest rewards we can receive for all our exertions—for all our sacrifices of time, of comfort, of health, and of -- 1 be the assurance that we have not failed in that honourable raced of approbation. (Loud cheers.) The Noble EARL shortly afterwards again rose, and proposed a toast which he was sure the company would receive with the cordiality and enthusiasm citie to the high position, the personal character, and the respect in which the right hon. gentleman was held by his fel low-citizens. He would propose "The health of the Lord Mayor," who, he was sure, would not give the city of London any reason to regret his exaltation to the' distinguished position of its chief magistrate. (Cheers.) The Loan MAYOR returned thanks ; and proposed The health of' the Earl of Lonsdale and the House of • Peers." The Earl of LONSDALE briefly acknowledged the toast. The LORD MAYOR proposed " The Chief Baron and the rest of the Judges." Chief Baron POLLOCK returned thanks. The LORD MAYOR then gave "The House of Com mons and the Chancellor of the Exchequer." (Loud cheers.) The city of London honoured the man who had achieved his own greatness, and whose intellect had lifted him to the leadership ,of the House of Commons. (Cheers.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was received with enthusiastic and protracted cheering. He said—My noble colleague, in returning thanksfor thehonour you had done him in ..drinking the health of her Majesty's Ministers, re minded you that there might be differences of opinion, and perhaps great differences of opinion, in a large andbrilliant assembly like the present. With respect to the body of men whose health you were then asked to drink, it is, my Lord Mayor, my privilege to return thanks on behalf of a body of men respecting whom there can be no diffe rence of opinion in this assembly, because they are' a body of men who represent all opinions. Gentlemen, you know well that the relations between the House of Commons and the city of London are of very ancient date. In times of adversity, in the city of London the leaders of the House of Commons have found a refuge ; and therefore it is not surprising that in your moments of prosperous festivity the members of the House of Commons should be your welcome and your cordial guests. (Cheers.) I trust that as the relations between the House of Commons and the city of London are of long date, and since they are connected with our free dom, and with some of the most interesting passages of our history, I hope that those relations will long remain; and I think it would be an evil time for this country and for that assembly which at this moment I represent, if the feeling between the House of Commons and the city of London ever becomes deficient in sym pathy and affection. My Lord Mayor, I have heard with great pleasure the willing testimony which your lordship, from your experience, has paid to the manner in which the duties of a member of Parliament are discharged. lam quite sure that your lordship will add to the indefatigable industry and devotion to duty which have characterised hitherto the proceedings of that great assembly. We are now at an interesting mo ment in the history of the House of Commons (a laugh), because a new Parliament has just assembled. It is not for me, and nothing is further from my thoughts, than to excite any political feelings, or to make any political allusion in this scene and upon this occcsion. But I trust I may be permitted to say, because I feel sure that in giving expression to my feelings I only ex press your own,—l trust I may be permitted to ex press a hope, and even a belief, that the legislation of the new House of COmmons will be such as will entitle its members to receive the respect and sympathy of the country. (Cheers.) I hope that they will meet together to take a large view of the circumstances—that they will meet together to forget petty feelings—that they will legislate not for classes, but for the community—(cheers) —that they will consider with an impartial and patriotic spirit every measure that is brought forward for the advantage of the country, and that they will resolve, if the measures of her Majesty's Government are entitled to public confidence and respect, that they shall not be defeated by the manoeuvres of faction. (Loud cheers.) These are feelings in which all may share, whatever may be our political feelings ; and I may express a hope that in whatever character I may appear in this celebrated hall again—whether as the representative of the House of Commons, or as one of its humblest members—l may witness an increase of those feelings of sympathy and respect which I trust will, to the advantage of this coun try, always exist between, the House of Commons and the city of London. (The right hon. gentlemen resumed his seat amid loud cheering.) The CHANCELLOR of the. EXCHEQUER again rose and proposed "The health of the Lady Mayoress," which was received with dtie respect. Some few routine toasts followed, but the greater por tion of the company here retired. A party of vocalists were in attendance, under the di rection of Mr. Francis. A selection of music was also performed by the band of the Royal Artillery. Mr. Harker was toastmaster. The dinner and wines were provided by Messrs. Staples, of the Albion Tavern. We subjoin the bill of fare : " 250 tureens of real turtle, containing five pints each ; 200 bottles of sherbet, 6 dishes of fish, 30 entrees, 4 boiled turkeys and oysters, 60 roast pullets, 60 dishes of fowls, 46 dishes of capons, 6 dishes of Captain White's Selim's true India curries, 50 French pies, 60 pigeon pies, 53 hams, or namented, 43 tongues, 2 quarters of house lamb, 2 barons of beef, 3 rounds of beef, 2 ste wed rumps of beef, 13 sir loins, rumps, and ribs of beef, 6 dishes of asarregus, 60 dishes of mashed and other potatoes,:44 dishes of shell-fish, 4-dishes of prawns, 140 jellies, 50 blancmanges, 40 dishes of tarts, creamed, 40 dishes of almond pastry, 30 dishes of orange and other tourtes, 20 Chantilly baskets, 60 dishes of mince pies, and 56 salads.

Amongst the ornaments that decorated the hall, per haps, the most attractive were two busts—one of the late Duke of Wellington, and the other of the late Sir Robert Peel.
