ONE- MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCR. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market is in a state of suspense, owing to the belief that a large amount of gold will be withdrawn to-day from the Bank of Eng land for exportation to the Brazils. Capitalists are therefore unwilling to negociate bills, lest this c ontemplated efflux of gold may prove true and cause a rise in the rate of discount. k From the manufacturing districts the accounts represent that business generally has been more animated, the demand for the spring trade having now commenced in most departments at Manchester, Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield. • In the hard ware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wol verhampton there is a more cheerful tone, and r aanufacttirers generally are fully emyloyed upon contract orders. Fifty thousand sovereigns were taken from the Bank on Saturday for Egypt. Two O'CLOCK. According to Reuter's telegram the French Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted at 68f. 30c. Inanimate.

This case, which involves the distribution of the sum of .£540,000, irrespective of interest, and for which there are several claimants, including General Sir George Whit lock, Sir Hugh Bose, &c., came again before the Court this morning, but the case is expected to last several days. CENTRAL CRIPIINAL COURT—This Day. OLD COURT. The January session of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning, before the Lord Mayor, Alder men, and other civic authorities. The calendar contains the names of 50 prisoners for trial, but there is a total absence of the charge of murder amongst the crimes with which the prisoners stand charged. There is one charge of felonious shooting with intent to murder, and two cases of manslaughter, but the other indictments are of the ordinary description. The Common Sergeant, acting as deputy Recorder, this morning charged the grand jury, owing to the absence of Russell Gurney, Esq., and briefly alluded to the cases comprised in the calendar, which, he said, were happily of a lighter description than had for some time been the case. The principal charge to be disposed of this session is the indictment against the young man Shirley for attempt ing to shoot Mr. Hus. After the jury had retired to their rooms, The trial of a gentlemanly-dressed man named Cooke was proceeded with, who was indicted for receiving vari ous sums of money in his position as traveller for the Patent Plumbago Crucible Company, and not accounting for the same. The jury, after a long trial, returned a verdict of not guilty. Mr. Sergeant Robinson then pro ceeded with three other indictments. MARK-LANE. The trade for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday was quiet in the •extreme, and secondary de scriptions of produce could only be disposed of at lower prices, whilst the finest samples changed hands at slightly reduced quotations. Spring corn of all `` descriptions was in slow request at barely late rates. Flour moved off slowly at about stationary prices. On the Continent the wheat trade has ruled quiet, yet very little change has taken place in prices. Spring corn, however, is tolerably firm. At New York a fair business is doing in brea/Istuffs for export to Europe. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 1,230 quarters of wheat, 3,405 barley, 6,818 oats, 6,440 peas, 10 tares, 2,933 linseed, 8,128 rapeseed, 9,258 maize, 620 sundry seeds, 2,222 sacks and 7,103 barrels of flour: Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English wheat were but moderate, and the bulk of the samples was received in poor condition. Even the best samples had a slow sale at barely late rates, whilst the trade for middling and inferior produce was very inactive, and sales could only be effected at a reduction in price from Monday last of is. per quarter. There was a fair supply of old wheat on the stands, the demand for which was in a sluggish state on rather easier terms. With foreign wheat the market was moderately supplied. The amount of business transacted was very moderate, and the trade presented a somewhat heavy appearance. To have effected sales of any extent holders would have been compelled to accept a reduction in price of ls. per quarter. Floating cargoes, both of wheat and spring corn, were in limited request, and the quotations had a drooping tendency. Barley was in fair average supply. The demand for all qualities ruled inactive, but without tending to any mate rial change in prices from Monday last. The malt trade was quiet ; prices, however, ruled stationary. The supply of oats on sale was but moderate, and the trade ruled firm at full prices. Beans were in good supply. All descriptions sold very slowly, at a reduction in value of is to 2s per quarter. Peas were in moderate supply and heavy request, at is to 2s per quarter less money than on Monday last. The market was well supplied with English flour, and there was also a slight increase in tho supply of barrels. The trade was quiet, at about late rates. CURRENCY PER IMP. MEASVRE.

There was a fair average supply of fat stock here to-day in but middling condition. Amongst it wore about 200 shorn sheep from Holland. The trade was heavy, and prices had a drooping tendency. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, were seasonably good. The Lincolnshire season has not yet been brought to a close. Many of tho graziers in that county are still send ing forward two-year-old beasts, apprehensive of heavy losses from the prevailing disease. All breeds of beasts moved off heavily at a decline in the quotations of fully 2d per 81b. The general top figure for Scots was os per 81b. The quality of the English beasts was only middling, of the Scotch very prime. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton.. shire we received 1,500 short horns, &c., from Norfolk Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire 1,620 Scots and crosses: from other parts of England, 500 various breeds; from Scotland, 800 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 150 oxen, &c. We were but moderately supplied with sheep, but the quality of most . breeds was good. Primo Downs, half breds, &c., moved off slowly, but at full prices ; otherwise, the demand ruled heavy at 2d per 81b less money. The highest currency was 6s 8d per 81b.

In view of the vast importance of the interests involved, we need offer no apology to our readers for again pressing upon their attention the industrial problem of the South now awaiting solution. Wo call it the problem of the South ; but, in truth, it is hardly less that of the North. The whole nation is concerned in it, and if it could only be placed definitely and distinctly before the public mind, the deepest solicitude would on all sides be manifested in reference to it. We quoted, a day or two since, the opinion of the American Consul at Liverpool, coincided in by the Secretary of the Treasury, to the effect that the amount of cotton now on hand in tho United States, inclusive of the crop of the present year, does not probably exceed seven hundred and fifty thousand bales. This statement would not be so significant 'if there were a fair prospect that the next crop would be an average one. But who believes that the product of the coming year will be four or five millions of bales ? Who can safely reckon, as ap pearances at present indicate, that it will be one million of bales ? The time for planting is close at hand. What is done at all for the crop of 1866 must be done within a few weeks, and yet the industry of the cotton States is all in confusion ; capital has almost disappeared ; tools and im plements are wanting ; the laboring population is dis trustful ; the planters are discouraged ; the old order of things has passed away, the new has not been established; the relations of master and slave have ceased to exist ; those of employer and employe have not been announced or defined. We cannot but wish that this question of labor might take precedence in Congress for the time being over the other details of reconstruction. We wish this for the sake of the colored man; for existence comes before suffrage, and his status as a man capable of labor and needing broad is of more urgency to him than his recognition as a citi zen ; in fact he must be kept alive in order that he may vote. While we are calmly discussing political philosophy he is hastening to his grave ; he implores food, we pro mise him the ballot; he claims our hearty and brotherly sympathy, and we are dealing with him as an abstraction to be reasoned upon and quarrelled about. We desire no less for the sake of the white man of the South that the Government would earnestly give itself to the immediate consideration of the industrial question rather than the political. A judicious intervention between him and his former slave would contribute much toward creating con fidence on both sides, stimulating the one to enterprise, protecting the other in his industry, illustrating the de pendence of each upon the other, and the necessity of each to the other. Hitherto capital in the South has owned labor ; henceforward ,capital and labor are to be united to each other by the bonds of mutual interest, and by the prospect of gains in which each shall equitably share. How can this be illustrated so speedily and so easily as by the leasing of plantations and the establishment of industrial colonies ; where it can be demonstrated that the negro will work for wages, and that the white man will pay , what he has promised ? With the wheels of industry again set in motion in communities now desolated and discontented, a better heart would soon prevail, restless ness would give way to activity, the people would cease to brood over their recent humiliation, and their present mor bid feelings toward the Government would gradually give way to a healthful loyalty. With this accomplished, they would ere long soon be qualified to resume their functions in public affairs, and they would prove an acquisition rather than a hindrance, as now, to the national prospe rity. But the longer we remain unconscious of and indif ferent to the existing emergency, the more unsettled do they become, the more divided will be public sentiment at the North in reference to them, and the mere embarrassed will be the general Government in dealing with them. The agency whereby all that we have thus imperfectly sketched may be attempted is already to be found in the Freedmen's Bureau. Nearly all are agreed that this must remain in force for some time to come. If so, why not give it new vitality, increased efficiency, and practical utility? By an enlargement of its powers it might be made to serve a most valuable purpose, setting an example which would be imitated in each Southern State, and sup- , plying each a nucleus around which skill and vigor would rapidly gather. We have questioned above whether the cotton crop of 1866 will reach a million of bales. We believe that the plan of the Boston Board of Trade, as now alluded to by us, would insure twiee that amount. The difference of a million of bales, with the price of cotton at from thirty to forty cents a pound, would be from one hundred and twenty to one hundred and fifty millions of dollars, being so much practically added to our specie reserves, and saved to the national wealth. In a financial, as well as in a political point of view, therefore, is not this subject worthy of careful attention ? And if the plan proposed is not a good one, who will suggest a better? The humanitarian view must not be overlooked. The life or death of thousands upon thousands will bo determined by the issue. This, we are confident, weighs with the President of the United States, in his anxious thoughts on this subject, and makes him doubly desirous to meet it quickly and wisely. Let the Executive be assured that the people of the North enter into these occasions for solicitude with him, and that they will heartily sustain him in his endeavours to remove them, and to secure the blessings of freedom and peace for the now disorganised and demoralised South ! We hope, also, that Congress will speedily give the legislation neces sary for the temporary leasing, for the purposes now set forth, of lands, to take the place of the confiscated and abandoned plantations which, by the policy of the Govern ment, are no longer available.—Boston Journal. AMERICAN LADIES.—The American correspon dent of the Spectator, writing of American ladies, says:— "They shrink from appearing in full dress, however moderate its so-called fulness, in a stall, or in the open boxes of a theatre, or at the dinner table of a hotel, which is open to the public, and where they may be in close proximity to entire strangers of whom they know only that they can afford to pay for their seats or their dinners. The distinction male in this respect is very marked at the opera, to which ladies do go in full dress, and from the opera to parties. But they never go in full dress unless they ,have a private box. In the stalls, the parquet, on the first tier of boxes, where single seats are sold, they appear in elegant demi-toilette, often wearing bonnets of incomprehensible structure and wonderful to behold. And this is not a matter of "set" or fashion. The same woman will be at the opera on one evening in full dress in a pri vate box, and if she does not own a box at the next per formance in the stalls or the parquet, with arms, shoulders, and head all covered. A lady whom I knew had rather an unpleasant experience in an:attempt some years ago to' disregard this tacit understanding among the sex in re gard to dinner dress at hotels. She belonged to an ultra fashionable set, and having married a South Carolina planter soon adopted what we call " plantation manners," and affected no little scorn of simple-mannered, reserved, New England folk. She was at Newport, our great sea side watering-place, and having just returned from Europe took great airs upon herself. One evening at the tea-table a gentleman sat down near her, and the butter plate before him happening to have no butter knife by it at the moment, he, instead of calling the waiter and waiting for one to be brought, used his own perfectly bright knife to take a bit of butter. Ho was a man of culture and social standing, but a Yankee, and one whose social pretensions she wished to flout. She seized the opportunity, and, calling a waiter, said in an elaborately subdued but de cided tone, ' Take away that butter. That gentleman has had his knife in it.' He took no notice of the remark, which drew all eyes upon him and the lady, but by and by she stretched out her hand, and took from the plate some chipped dried beef which stood between her and her victim. This was well enough, of course; but ho turned at once, and calling a waiter, said, only as if he were asking for more tea, Take away that dried beef, this lady has had her fingers in it.' In this encounter, such as it was, he was thought to have had the best of it, and she did not forgive or forget. So a few days after wards (I should hare mentioned that there was the slightest possible acquaintance between them), they being at dinner, she, censpicuous in the full dress she had adopted since her tour to Europe, and which was so very full that it would have attracted attention under any cir cumstances, took one from a dish of fresh figs before her, and, putting it on a plate, handed it to him with an expres sion of complaisance, but saying in a tone of unmistake able significance, which could bo heard all around her, A fig for you, sir.' He accepted it graciously, and taking in his turn a leaf from the garniture of the dish, offered it to her, with 'A fig-leaf for you, madam.' Sho fled the table, and kept her room until her intended victim left the hotel," POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, BOW-STREET. Daniel Sullivan, alias Dennis O'Leary, was placed at the bar charged with highway robbery. From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor, asea faring man, had been paid off from his ship on Friday, and of course commenced enjoying himself. He wandered about the metropolis until he found himself near Short's gardens, Drury-lane, where the prisoner made a desperat assault on him and robbed him of his money. The police gave evidence as to the assault and robbery, and the prisoner was then fully committed for trial. Daniel Kelland and Daniel O'Brien were also charged with highway robbery with violence. From the evidence of Police-sergeant E 5, it appeared that the two men, who were very desperate characters, met the prosecutor in Holborn last night, and, perceiving him to be intoxicated, they followed him for some distance, when one of the men went behind him and seized him, while the other took hold of him by the throat, and the two then forced him up against the shutters of one of the shops in that thoroughfare. The police, who were close at hand, fortunately took both men into custody. The prosecutor this morning was not in attendance, and the constable informed the magistrate that he did not in tend to appear. _ . Mr. Vaughan said he should compel him to appear in court and give his evidence, and therefore he should order summonses to issue for his attendance. The prisoners were remanded. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ALLEGED MISTAKEN IDENTITY.—MichaeI Donovan, a young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with steal. ing 120 postage stamps of the value of 10s., the property o. Mr. Packe, grocer, Old Compton-street. Mrs. Packs said that on Thursday evening the prisoner came into the shop of her husband and asked for 10s. worth of postage stamps. She was hesitating whether she should lay them on the counter or not when the prisoner snatched the stamps out of her hand and ran out of the shop. She pursued him, calling "Stop thief," but lost sight of him. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked Mrs. Packe whether she was sure the prisoner was the same young man. Mrs. Packe said she was. An officer brought him to her shop on Saturday night and she identified him. The prisoner assorted that Mrs. Packe had committed the greatest perjury ever heard in a police-court. He would like to know what time in the evening Mrs. Packe spoke of. Mrs. Packe—About 6. The prisoner said he could prove that ho was at work at the Alliance Bank, Lothbury, every evening last week till half-past five o'clock. Mrs. Packo also told the con stable that the person who stole the stamps wore dark clothes, while he (prisoner) could prove with the exception of Saturday evening he wore all the week light clothes. Sergeant Shillingford, 4 C, proved taking the prisoner into custody, as he answered the description given. On taking him to Mrs. Packe she said he was the person who stole tho stamps, but the prisoner said she was mistaken. The prisoner said he could call several persons to speak to his character, and that he was quite innocent of the charge. Mr. Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner, but took the bail of a surgeon, residing in Princess-street, Bedford-row, for the prisoner's future appearance. ROBBERY OF JEWEI.i.RY, &C.—Edward O'Mara, alias "Long Snob," a bootmaker, of 11. Little Compton-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being concerned with two others in custody in stealing, on the 16th of November last, a quantity of jewellery and other articles, of the value of £BO, the property of Mr. John Ford Hal lett, landlord of the Hibernian Stores, Old Compton-street. It may be remembered that at the last sessions of the Central Criminal Court two men, named Byford and Lucas, were convicted (Byford receiving a sentence of seven years' penal servitude, Lucas 18 months) of being concerned in the robbery. On Saturday night Sergeant Cole, an ener getic officer of the C division, took the prisoner into cus tody while playing at skittles at the Bull's Head, St. Anne's, for being concerned in the same robbery. Some evidence having been given, Sergeant Cole asked for a remand for the attendance of witnesses. THAMES. THE CHILD WITHOUT A PARISH.—Mr. Wm. Rolston, one of the relieving officers of the parish of St. George-in the-East, applied to Mr. Paget for a warrant to apprehend Mary Crather for deserting her female child, which she left in the Tower on Thursday last with a feeding bottle alongside of it. The child, which is five months old, was taken to the Whitechapel Union house and refused admis sion there. It was then conveyed to the City of London Union, and refused admission there also. The police of the H division engaged a young woman of respectability to take charge of the child, and in this dilemma Mr. Dandy, inspector of the H division, applied to the magistrate, who recommended that the young woman who had the care of the infant, and who lived in the parish of St. George-in-the-East, should apply to the relieving officer of the parish. The board of guardians of St. George-in-the-East were sitting in full conclave when the application was made to their officer, and at once agreed to adopt the child. Mr. Rolston said he had obtained a clue to the address of the unnatural mother who had deserted her child, and asked for a warrant to apprehend her. Mr. Paget said he would not interfere in the matter until the child became chargeable to some parish or union. It was not in Whit echapel or the city of London when the inspector made an application to him. The child had been very properly adopted by St. George-in-the-East, the place where the young woman engaged to nurse it was living, and he had no hesitation in granting a warrant. The warrant was at once made out by Mr. Livingston, the chief officer of the court, and intrusted to Inspector bendy to execute. A DILEMMA—WHAT IS THE MAN TO Do 2—A poor fellow recently discharged from the House of Correction after a months' imprisonment, and who had on a canvas dress, came before Mr. Paget and said he could obtain work if he was provided with clothes. Mr. Paget asked the applicant for what offence he was committed to the House of Correction ? The man replied for tearing up my clothes, sir, in a casual ward of a workhouse. Mr. Paget—And the canvas suit you have on was given to you ? Applicant—Yes, sir. I cannot get any work in this trim ; no one will employ me. If I had proper clothes I could obtain work. There is a place ready for me. Mr. Paget could not assist the applicant, who had better make a formal application to the reliovin g officer of the parish in which he last slept. The applicant—l have been to several parishes, and they will do nothing for mo. Mr. Paget—l cannot help you. Tho poor man, who seemed tolerably healthy, walked out of the court sorrowfully, exclaiming " What am I to do !" The Times American correspondent says :—The sale of cotton has been almost the only source from which the South has procured funds. The cotton trade has during the summer and autumn been quite brisk, and has pro duced the people a large sum of money, which, if they were not so deeply in debt and so anxious to procure every necessary of life, could be devoted to rebuilding the towns and railroads. The greater part of the proceeds of cotton sales has come North, however, to pay old debts or to buy clothing and food. The South is stripped bare of every thing, and although 1,400,000 bales of cotton have been sold, realising about $400,000,000, nearly all this money has been•spent. The cotton receipts are now falling off, and the advices from New Orleans and Mobile are that in future the supply will steadily decline. The planters are making movements in Mississippi and Louisiana to induce European capitalists to assist them in resuming the culti vation of their cotton lands, and the people on all sides urge the holding of the proposed "National Cotton Growers' Convention " to procure by concerted action the largest possible cotton crop next year. With the South in its present sad condition it must be long before the ave rage annual crop previous to the war-5,000,000 bales— can be reached. 421 2 1 I 141} 4 I 53 71 8k 01 2 3 41 9 25 1 95} 4f 62 4 133 f 1 4 2 21 6 11 1991 11441 1041 56 7411 1.(11 I 4 351 5 93j 21 4 93; 81 88 711 8 10) i 091 i Shipwreck and Loss of Life. The Palinurus, 1,081 tons register, Capt. Berry, belonging to Messrs. R. Allen and Co., of Liver pool, left dock on Tuesday, Nov. 21, and having lain in the Mersey until Monday, sailed for New York, with a cargo of coal. Though everything went well for some weeks, in spite of very boister ous weather, she subsequently sprang a leak when in long. 30.30 west, and lat. 42 north. This, to gether with a heavy gale which lasted about 30 hours, induced the captain to seek for shore. He had 24 men under him, who exerted themselves to the utmost at the pumps, but such vt as the leak that the water continued to gain upon them for weeks. In the attempt to save the vessel more than half the crew were disabled by over exertion, and the re maining half had to work at the pumps and attend to their sick comrades. One of the cre iv was washed overboard during the gale. In the beginning of last week they sighted the south coast of Ireland, but such was the state of the sea and weather that they failed to make for any of the Irish harbours. Then the hazy state of the atmosphere prevented their seeing any light whatever, though they endeavoured to make for Holyhead. This, however, was impos sible for two reasons. The South Stack could not be seen, and the vessel was- so logged with water that it was expected every hour on Wednesday and Thursday that she would founder. The captain, therefore, sailed towards the nearest shore, the ves sel being already 10ft. in water below. Cwmerran is a bay on the west coast of Anglesea by land seven miles from Holyhead, and eight from South Stack. Thither was the Palinurus run about three o'clock on the afternoon of Thursday last. The sea was at the time running mountains high, and on this exposed part of the island, facing the Channel, it was still more dangerous. The masts were hurled from their places by the force of the wind. The vessel struck on a rock—a backbone that runs far into the sea —and the sailors made signs by rockets and bluelights for assistance from shore. When this was noticed a special messenger was de spatched to acquaint Mr. Cunnah, of the Customs; Capt. R. Jones, Lloyd's agent ; and Mr. Rowe, chief officer the Coastguard at Holyhead, who in stantly repaired to the spot, which they reached be fore 6 o'clock p.m. It should be here stated that the Rhoscolvn lifeboat had made two unsuccessful at tempts earlier in the day to reach the vessel, and our reporter learnt from one of the officers of the ship that they were made at great hazard. An attempt was made by the lifeboat crew to reach the wreck for a third time, when the ship had stranded ; but the breakers were so terrible that they failed to bring their boat round, and several of them, failing in this attempt, followed the course of the vessel, and were in readiness to join in any attempt to save the lives of those on board the ship. Near the point struck by the vessel the coast is almost houseless, with two exceptions, one of the houses being inha bited by Evan Hughes, a fisherman. This man has already been the means of saving the crews of 13 vessels, and he did not shrink from another attempt of the same kind. A committee Was formed of Capt. Jones, Mr. Rowe, and Mr. Cunnah, and not a minute was lost in preparing Evan Hughes's boat. He, with his two sons and four of the crew of the Rhoscolyn lifeboat, entered their boat at half-past 8 at night and made their way through a terrific sea to the stranded vessel, which was within 100 yards of the shore. It was not long before a hearty shout reached the shore from the ship's crew when they sighted the amateur lifeboat. Twenty of the crew were saved by means of the boat, and the other five came afterwards in a boat belonging to the ship. At 10 o'clock that night (Thursday) all the crew had reached shore in safety, and received from those who had saved them and of the officials every suc cour. On the day following the wreck (Friday) Lloyd's agent and the Customs' officer took active measures to save everything they could from the vessel. For this purpose a large number of persons were engaged. Some of these were engaged on board the wreck, others in boats conveying the salvage to safety ashore. Much was saved, though the sea was fearfully rough. On Saturday two boats had to leave shore about 8 in the morning ; one was that of Evan Hughes, and the other a smaller boat, also belonging to him, of 22ft. in keel. The former had about 25 men in it, and had reached the wreck, leaving four men behind to row the salvage to shore, but they had scarcely commenced working when the smaller boat nearer the wreck was caught by a squall and capsized. The crew, 12 in number, were thrown into the water, two of them being Evan Hughes's sons, and four men who had been con cerned in saving the ship's crew on Thursday. The sight is described as heartrending to those who wit nessed the catastrophe from the wreck and from shore. Two of the boat's crew reached the wreck and were slung on board. These were owen Jones whose exertions to save himself were witnessed by his brother, Richard Jones, who was on board the vessel. He was saved by Oien Williams. Richard Jones also, with another person, whose name we could not learn, assisted in saving William Roberts. Robert Jones, William Hughes, Owen Jones, and Hugh Hughes managed to swim or to clutch the capsized boat, and to hang on by it until the larger boat (belonging to Evan Hughes) picked them up, and took them on shore. In spite of every exer tion, however, six persons lost their lives, being either carried out to sea or drowned amidst the breakers. The capsized boat, to which a few of the men clung, was carried by the sea in every direc tion, and it is a matter of surprise how any of them succeeded in keeping their hold under such circum- stances. Those who have lost their lives are Thos. Hughes, Cwmerran, aged 20 (unmarried), son of E'ran Hughes, brother of Hugh Hughes, who was saved, coxswain ; Edward Griffith, aged 20 (unmarried), Bryn-bar ; John Roberts, aged 32 (unmarried), Llain-y-brenhin ; Richard Owen, aged 35, leaving a wife and eight children, the, youngest but a week old ; Dinas Bran, and Robert Eml. Williams, about 40, unmarried, having an aged mother dependent on him for support, Rhoscolyn ; and Win. Owen, Holyhead, aged 30, l eav i ng a w if e an d three ' chil dren. Up to 10 p.m. on Saturday only one of the ti bodies—that of W. Owen, Holyhead—had been found, and the coast was being explored by the re lations and friends of the unfortunate men. Too much praise cannot be given to Capt. R. R. Jones, Lloyd's agent • Mr. Rowe, chief officer of the Coast guard; and Mr. Cunnah, of the Customs, for their efforts to aid the sufferers.

A MODEL CONGRESS.—The new United States' Congress is thus described by the New York corres pondent of the Morning Herald : —(4 What time th e loyal gentlemen in Congress assembled aro not en gaged in the contemplation or laudation of their own patriotic virtues and advertisement of the sacrifices that they have made in putting down this unholy rebel lion they are busied in perfecting schemes for confiscating the property of Southern men, and for bringing Confede rate leaders to punishment, or in the general execration of everything Southern, or everybody wko believes that the South may still have some "rights." Absolutely nine tenths —yes, ninety-nine one-hundredths of the legislation, or attempted legislation of Congress, thus far, has had as i its object the further punishment of the South; while the "resolutions " adopted (with trifling exceptions) have been expressions of the belief of our patriotic Congress men in their own eminent loyalty. Two laws have been passed by both houses, and have received the signature of the President ; one of these is the act to prevent the importa tion of cattle, known as the " Cattle Plague Act ;" the other is an act declaring that no person shall be incompe tent to serve as a juror in auy court in the district of Columbia by reason of the formation of an opinion upon the subject engaging the attention of the jury; which is a help towards securing the speedy trial of Jefferson Davis. Aside from the passage of these laws, Congress has accom plished nothing in the matter of law making. It has done much, however, to block the wheels of justice and impair the vitality of 'the fundamental law. Since last I wrote three new amendments to the Constitution have been proposed, thus we have reached the first scene. Twenty amendments in ten working days ! Why, it is enough to revivify the dust of the now almost forgotten fathers of the republic, and bring them trooping forth from their graves to rebuke di() Madness of the hour." . THIRD EDITiOi.

TIIE ROWING ALMANAC FOR 1866.—The present number contains many new features, among which we instance the following :—Maps of the River Thames ; portraits of Harry Kelley (the champion of the Thames), R. Cooper, T. Hoare, and F. Kilsby ; a detailed account of rowing at the various universities and public schools in England, as well as those in Australia, Hamburg, and elsewhere. Fishing and swim ming—sports so intimately connected with an oarsman's pleasure—have also been made to contribute to the general usefulness of the book. It is to be hoped this compact little almanac will meet with that support that its merits richly deserve. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. The market opens steady, with fair demand.

THE MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.—At the meeting of Parliament Mr. Denison will be moved into the Speaker's chair by the Right Hon. W. Monsell, M.P.. for the county of Limerick, and seconded by Earl Grosvenor, M.P. for Chester—not by Lord R. Grosvenor, M.P, for the county of Flint, as erroneously stated. The address in answer to the speech from the throne will be moved in the House of Commons by Lord Frederick Cavendish, M.P. for the West Riding of York, and seconded by Mr. Wm. Graham. M.P. for the city of Glasgow. THE SECRETARYSHIP OP THE ADMIRALTY.—A correspondent of the Manchester Guardian has revived a rumour of the appointment of Mr. Stansfeld, M.P. for Halifax, to the Secretaryship of the Admiralty, and alleged that the appointment is to be immediate, instead of waiting for the estimates to be moved by Lord Clarence Paget. We believe the statement to be premature for the best of all reasons, that the office is not vacant. DEATH OF MR. THO3IAS Conwlisr, OF OHIO.— Mr. Thomas Corwin, one of the great men of America, and ono of the last links which join the present period with much of the important past history of the American Republic, has died. His death, which had not been un expected for a few days past, took place at Washington at half-past two o'clock, on December 21st. Mr. Thomas Corwin was born in Bourbon county, Kentucky, on the 29th of July, 1794. When ho was four years of ago his father removed to Lebanon, Warren county, Ohio, where the senior Corwin attained to a highly respectable position, and was for a long time an active and efficient 1 member of the Ohio Legislature, over the upper branch of which he presided for several years with great dignity and acceptance. His situation in life was such that he could bestow but little attention on his son, and he grew up without any great culture of his intellect, except such as he derived from the act i ve duties of life, and such inter course w ith the outer world as he had while working on his father's farm, which he did until he was twenty years of age. In 1815 he commenced the study of law, and was admitted to the bar in 1818. Four years afterward he was sent as a representative to the State Legislature, in which he served several sessions, and with such marked abilities that he was sent to Congress in 1831. He con tinued to hold his seat in that body for nine years, or until 1840, during the whole time of which he was found to be an efficient business member, a ready and powerfa de bater; a steady friend of the Whig party, and an able ad vocate of all its measures in the House. In - 1840 Mr. Thomas Corwin was chosen Governor of the State of Ohio, an office which he filled with dignity for two years. He was again a candidate for the same position, but he was defeated by Mr. Shannon, the Democratic candidate, who was elected as his successor. In 1845 Mr. Thomas Corwin was elected to the upper branch of Congress, and took his seat in the Senate at the close of that year. When a member of that body the United States became involved in war with Mexico. Politicians differed widely on the subject of its righteousness or its policy. Mr. Corwin, from the first, steadily opposed it as neither politic nor just, and his speeches on the floor of the United States Senate are among the ablest and most argumentative of any delivered on that side of the question. Mr. Corwin continued to hold his seat in the Senate until the accession of Mr. Fillmore to the Presidency, in 1850, when that gentleman called him to aid the executive administration by his counsel and advice, and appointed him to preside over the Treasury of the country. At the close of Mr. Fillmore's Presidential career, Mr. Corwin retired into private life, but he was not long allowed to enjoy his ease, for he was chosen to Congress in 1858 and again in 1860, with little or no opposition. During latter years he rendered efficient service as a speaker during the Lincoln, Douglas, and Breckinridge Presiden tialthe N e w contest, and addressed sundry audiences in t' i _ n : Pro England States.
