At last the dispatches hav e arri ved , and the delay proves to have originated in a solicitude on the part of the local authorities to transmit to England a copious narrative of occurrences 'in the Punjaub camp a i gn. Now that we have obtained this intelligence we are reconciled to the procrastination. Events of an ex traordinary character have marked the commence ment of the collision between the belligerent forces, and that collision has taken place on the banks of the river Chenab, in the immediate vicinity of Ramnuggur. The redoubtable Sirdar . SLIERE SINGH, at the head of about . :35,000 men (at the very highest computation), and those ' men principally irregular troops, or, rather, undisci trEWSP \ P.Viilined insurgents—has measured his strength with the British Commander-in-Chief, Lord Goucir at 1---( :soldiers , natives ' i t ...: 4 - , -:.77- . -....- ,• . , Jbi bead of nearly 23,000 1, 1 4i ` - . . r --; ~ petiiiti, in admirable condition and of the most distin "Pri:g3 - .. ,t, / — " -- gaglied char a cter . Two engagements have marked ‘,,..r........, 71 __"c,_`,.) .. i ±:thsi.in . terv a l between the last and the present in ( S L -,..' formation from The seat of war ; one on the morning s a s THE 11 - 1514, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY DO, 1840. of the 22d of November, and another on the evening 1 of the 3d _of December. Several skirmishes and ren contres, of course, diversified the intermediate time, and brought portions of the antagonistic lines here and there into direct opposition ; but on the two dates before specified there appears to have been rather severe fighting, in which almost the whole of the opposing ranks, more or less, participated. Having received peremptory instructions from the Commander•in-Chief not to attempt any movement whatever against the enemy until his arrival, the Generals of division maintained a strictly defensive attitude up to the 20th of November, when Lord GOUGES reached Newa Walla, having proceeded thi ther with the utmost rapidity from Lahore and Ravee. In compliance with a resolution come to on the fol lowing afternoon, at a conference between Brigadier CAMPBELL and his Excellency, operations were commenced with the dawn of the 22d of No vember. Hereupon seems to have com menced a series of blunders, arising from insuffi ciency or, may be, inaccuracy of information, and which has been fraught with disastrous conse quences to many of our gallant compatriots. First, it was imagined that the enemy were so situated on the left bank of the Chenab that the British army would have an opportunity to drive them across the river, and, in so doing, to throw their ranks into confusion : it was discovered, however, on the English forces clearing Ramnuggur, that the Seikhs were en• camped on the right bank, in a position of admirable security. Then an endeavour was made, rather too precipitately, to discover the real strength of the Seikh batteries by opening on them some of the guns of our artillery — when the 3d brigade found itself embedded in such heavy sand that it was compelled to abandon one of the guns on receiving orders to limber up and retire. Then, again, our brave cavalry was exposed to a fire so galling and withering that it was compelled to seek shelter behind a tope of trees until the fury of their antagonists had in some degree subsided. Shortly afterwards, on perceiving some of the rebel soldiers lower down the river on the left bank of the Chenab, the 3d and 14th Light Dragoons were ordered to effect their dislodgement. Here it was that the principal calamity of the day carried death to several of our bravest countrymen. By a cunning movement on the part of the Seikh cavalry, the dra goons were induced to charge down upon them until they were suddenly brought up by a deep watercourse at the entrance of a nullah or ravine, from a blighting discharge which tore up the ranks of the 31 and 14th from a body of matchlockmen lying in ambus cade. The contrivance was deplorably successful. Nearly one hundred of the dragoons were brought down either killed or wounded. Brigadier-General CURETON—one of the finest soldiers, and one of the most distinguished officers in the British army—was shot through the heart. Col. HAvELocK—the very im personation of gallantry—received a severe wound in his right hand, had his left leg and his left arm nearly severed from his body, and was left dead upon the field. Eleven of his courageous men fell by his side, sword in hand, and are said to have been subse quently decapitated by the insurgents. Captain AVINIABoN is said to have since died from his wounds, according to the newspapers of Calcutta; and a similar report as to the fate of Ensign HARDINGE, of the 3',/th Native Infantry, is contained in a letter received from Umritsir. Captain HoLmEs, of the 12th Irregular Cavalry, is described as having been shot through the breast while en deavouring to carry off the body of the noble-hearted CURETON. Captain RYLEY received a spent ball in his leg. Lieutenant-Colonel ALEXANDER had his right arm so grievously mangled as to render amputation necessary. Captain Crux lost a hand. Flesh wounds were given to Captain CAUTLY and Captain SCUDAMORE ; while Captain FITZGERALD was suffering from no less than five dif ferent wounds from swordcuts mostly about his neck and head. In addition to these there are reported to be no less than one hundred of the rank and file among the killed and wounded in this single adven ture against the matchlockmen in the ravine. After thirty-five minutes fighting, the troops were moved to their new encamping ground in advance of Ram nuggur, where they continued during the 23d un molested. and the Bishop, mindful of the golden rule, "deter di gniori," conferred it upon the most deserving— upon one who, by hi& past , services and labours, had earned for himself the otium cum di gnitate during his future life. The observations which Mr. J. J. WRIGHT offered thereon in the course of his able and impressive address, are worthy of the most serious and attentive consideration. That gentleman has told us in burning words and eloquent language how patronage should be bestowed, and of the true duty of a Christian Bishop. He said : "It is now, sir, upwards of twenty years since, as ayoung man, unknown to all, you became curate of this parish, and here commenced your labours as a minister of the Gospel—an occupation the most glorious that can oc cupy the capacities of the human mind. At that early period, sir, there was observed in your conduct a gravity of deportment, a gentleness of spirit, a sincerity of heart, a Christian meekness, an exemplary diligence, and a marked piety, that created a growing esteem for your person and a manifest desireidr your ministry. These personal excellences, combineiiievith the zealous and un wearied manner in which pup co-operated with that excellent Christian minister youe pred( cessor, in all his many works of public usefulneskand active benevolence— a Christian minister, whose name not only stands asso ciated, with the building in which we are now assembled, but whose name lives imperishably in the grateful re collection of the people of Sunderland—induced the in habitants, when deprived of his valuable services by his early and lamented death, to present to the Bishop of this diocese a memorial, signed by nearly three thou sand householders, calling upon his Lordship to present you to the rectory of Sunderland. The same irresistible influence of your character that dictated that memorial impelled the Bishop to accede to that just, though some what unusual request, and you became the rector of this, one of the most important parishes in the diocese of Durham." After alluding, at considerable length, to the exemplary conduct of the Rev. Gentleman during the time that he officiated as rector of Sunderland, and his subsequent promotion to the more lucrative, but less laborious, duties of the rectory of Winston, the eloquent speaker thus continued— " We rejoice at your preferment, and I am glad also to be enabled to say, that we rejoice in the appointment of your successor, as gratifying Instances of the righte ous distribution of Church patronage. Would to God that patronage was always so bestowed in just reward to the hardworking and deserving clergy. Especially those who have to sustain their offices in large towns, or in public acknowledgment of great talents, commanding eloquence, or ministerial success. Would to God that such instances were not, as they unfortunately are, too remarkable for their singularity. And when they do occur, would to God that they were not confined, as they generally are, to the smaller livings, where there is most of the work and least of the pay, but extended to the richer benefices of the country—which would put increased means of doing good into the hands of the tried and well-disposed Christian pastor. If such were the case happy would it be for the Church, cheering for the clergy, and delightful for the people. Those who by the constitution of the Church are entrusted with the bestowal of the patronage that belongs to it, and who ard responsible to God, to the Church, and to the country for the proper disposal of it, and who dispense that patronage from any other motive, or for the attainment of any other object, I do not hesitate to say are baneful demolishers of the beautiful fabric of the Church, and sacrilegious violators of ono of the most sacred trusts that Providence places in the hands of man. We hope, sir, to live to see the day when a better state of things will exist, and when the Church thin purified and re formed from within can bid defiance to all enemies from without." It is impossible not to coincide to the fullest extent with these admirable observations. They recal for cibly to our minds a somewhat similar tribute of affectionate respect and admiration, but which was unfortunately bestowed on a very different occasion• In the month of June, 1847, a deputation waited upon the Rev. Dr. EMERTON, of Han well, to present him with a magnificent piece of plate, and (still more acceptable) the silver trowel used by the late respected rector, Dr. WALMSLEY, in laying the foundation-stone of the new church. These valuable gifts were offered as acknowledgments of the advan tages which the parish of Hanwell had derived from Dr. EMERTON'S ministry during the twelve years he acted as curate thereof. It was not, however, on his promotion to a more valuable preferment, or on re ceiving the rewards due to his unceasing and impor tant labours, that Dr. EMERTON was thus honoured. Far, very far, different indeed were the circum stances. From the hour of his appointment as curate of the parish there was observed in his conduct a " gravity of deportment, gentleness of spirit, sincerity of heart, Christian meekness, exemplary diligence, and marked piety, that created a growing esteem for , his person, and a marked desire for his ministry." In these important respects there was no distinction between the cases. In like manner, his name stood associated with the sacred edifice in which the words of life were uttered to the congregation, and which edifice would not have been erected but for the un wearied exertions and disinterested liberality of Dr. EMERTON, who, an humble curate, with a salary of 1001. per annum, contributed a sum double that which was obtained from the diocesan, notwithstanding the princely revenues of his see. And yet from that church was Dr. EMERTON ejected, and left without church preferment or the cure of souls, after twelve years of services such as those to which we have al luded, and which obtained the unanimous approbation of his parishioners and of all those with whom he was brought into communication during the course of his ministry—nay, that of the very Bishop himself, who, a few short weeks before he evicted Dr. EMERTON from his curacy, and deprived him of his humble pittance—a pittance far too small for an educated gentleman—used these re markable words—" being assured that you will discharge your duty as zealously and faithfully as you have done in the assistant curacy of Han well," thus indicating how fully he participated in the feel ings of the parishioners ; and yet one day after the burial of the deceased rector, that very Bishop ten dered the living to the eldest son of a Baronet, a gentleman of large fortune and considerable influence, to whom the pecuniary emoluments of the office could be a matter of little moment, and thus severed the connexion that had so long and so happily existed between the zealous and faithful assistant-curate and his grateful and affectionate congregation. The encounter which subsequently took place on the 3d of December, between the armies of Lord GOUGH and the Raja &JERE SINGH, appears to have terminated rather more advantageously for the Eu ropeans. Our loss upon the latter occasion seems to have scarcely exceeded forty men, and yet the result of the engagement was such that before daybreak, on the 4th, the whole Seikh multitude was in full re treat, after having either concealed or carried away their artillery, and exploded their magazines. Sub sequently the cavalry, under THACKWELL, and the Lancers (9th), and Dragoons (14th), under GILBERT, were dispatched in pursuit. Unless these two officers are enabled to come up with the enemy, and bring them at once to a decisive encounter, there is considerable danger that &ÜBE SINGH will find it by no means difficult to join his forces to those of his father, CHUTTUR SINGH, in which event the difficul ties of their subjugation would, of course, be, propor tionately enhanced. Whatever may be the result of the last movements of the belligerents, the manoeuvre of the Seikh commander is sufficiently apparent, namely an effort to lure the British army further and further into the Punjaub, and then to harass atd decimate the ranks of the Europeans by the warfare of Asiatic Guerillas. To prevent this disastrous prolongation of the war will require all the military skill and deter mination of the Commander-in-Chief ; but for the conquest of these difficulties be possesses, we are satisfied, ample capacity. A respected provincial contemporary, the Sumder land Times, in a recent number, contains an account of the presentation of a magnificent piece of plate to the Rev. W. WEBB (late rector and curate of the parish of Sunderland), as a tribute of respect and admiration for his exemplary character, and of the high sense entertained by his former parishioners of the great value of his ministrations, extending over a period of twenty years, as curate and rector. Such a testimonial is alike honourable to the donors and to the recepient. It affords the strongest evidence that the good seed had not fallen in atony places or among thorns, that the zeal and energy of the clerical labourer had not been wasted or misapplied.

It is still mnimesatisfactory, when the offering of affection and esteem is tendered on the well-merited promotion of its object—when one of exalted station has properly exercised his high privilege, and worthily bestowed the patronage with which he had been entrusted, not for his own personal gratification, or because the ap plicant was possessed of powerful friends or wealthy connexions, but for the benefit of the church of which he himself was an appointed dignitary. There is nothing of more vital importance to the Church of England than the impartial and conscien tious exercise of the patronage entrusted to its prelates. It ma y, perhaps, be considered unreasona b le to expect much from private patrons. The livings in their gifts are too frequently granted from purely primogeniture, faw personal motives. It may be to provide for younger children, and those members law of softhei r mile sh owing to the opera tn of h are quartered on the pub lic p urse in one sha pe or mark of private friendship or another—it may be as a esteem, or even occasionally for a p ecuniar y consi deration. That such things are not o nl y p o ssible , but thlt they are of daily occurrence, is deeply to he lamented, and highly prejudicial to the best interests of the Church. In such cases its worst enemies are to be found among its own children, who abuse their powers, and direct more formidable blows against the venerable fabric than could possibly be inflicted by its most determined opponents. It is, however, worse, a thousand times worse, when its very Bishops and dignitaries, forgetful of their sacred obligations, disregard the strongest professional claims, and confer appointments that cannot be justi fied on any ground of principle or policy. Such was happily not the case on the occasion to which we are alluding. Mr. WEBB received the well merited reward of his indefatigable exertions for more than twenty years. A richer preferment fell vacant, What we have above stated would alone be suffi cient to excite a feeling of deep disappointment and concern in the public mind, to induce every well wisher of the Church to deplore that such pre eminent claims should be thus cavalierly and summarily disposed of; but there is another circumstance that should not be lost sight of, that materially enhances the painful character of the transaction. Some years previously the perpetual curacy of the parish of New Brentford became vacant. It was in the gift of Dr. WALMSLEY, the rector of Hanwell, who, with a due appreciation of the in valuable services of his curate, placed the patronage at the disposal of Dr. EMERTON, who might have presented himself thereto. The Bishop, however, interposed, and raised sundry objections and difficul- . ties. The result was that Dr . EMERTON surrendered his patronage into the hands of his Lordship, and allowed him to nominate three persons, one of whom was to be selected. This disinterested conduct might surely have had some effect on a generous mind, For four years the emoluments of 3001. per annum were enjoyed by the Bishop's nominee, while Dr EMERTON, who might, had he pleased, have taken it• for himself, continued his labour of love for the humble stipend of 1001. a year. Most heartily do we commend the perusal of Mr. WRIGHT'S admirable speech to the Right Rev. Pre late ; we trust that he will read, mark, and inwardly digest its contents, and that he may on future occa sions distribute his patronage with greater discretion ; that he may not again inflict "a heavy blow and great discouragement" on the Church by law estab lished, or do an act which has been well described in an address to Dr. EMERTON as a "disappointment worthy of public comment and reproach, calculated to bring the church discipline into question, and ulti mately to call for Legislative interference on the subject." There is one consolation, and one only, to be derived from the Bishop's conduct. By not obtaining the pre ferment, Dr. EMERTON has been enabled to concen- trate all his energies for the benefit of the pupils of the Hanwell Collegiate School, of which he is the efficient Principal, a circumstance of paramount importance to the rising generation and to the parents and guardians of those confided to his charge. It is always gratifying to find that the shareholders of a public company entertain a proper sense of the services of those who hive by their consummate skill, untiring zeal, unwearied activity, and unerring judgment, succeeded in creating a valuable property for the benefit of such shareholders, and therefore it is that we have read with great interest the account of the proceedings at a pnblic dinner given by the shareholders in the Richmond Railway, last evening, to WILLIAM CHADWICK, Esq., at the London Tavern, on which loccasion a mapificent tary arrangement whereby they must receive the word service of , plate was presented to him, " as a testi- command in the German language. mony of the estimation in which he was held by his It is said that disturbances have broken out at Li nz .

By opening a credit the State may still employ 14,500,000 in the bank, and when this is exhausted the sum total of all the sums advanced to the State will amount to nearly 195,000,000. The discount business of the bank amounted last year to 429,500,000 guilders on above 65,000 stock. The loans amounted to above 164,500,000 in mort gages, and the advances in prolongation of the same to 72,000,000. In the deposit department there was at the end of December, 1848, a balance of above 87,000,000. The current business had a circulation of 121,000,000, and the total transactions of the bank for the year 1848 amounted to above 2,335,000,000 guilders. company, it must be confessed that never was an honourable testimonial more honourably earned or more honourably bestowed. Had it not ✓ been for the exertions of Mr. CHADWICK the Richmond Rail way would never have existed. It was owing to his unwearied perseverance, unerring tact, and ex cellent temper, that the Bill was safely carried through the perils of Parliament. Having thus called it into existence, he did not " leave his work but half complete." He saw at a glance that it would be infinitely more to the advantage of the shareholders to dispose of their line to a large company than to work it themselves. By his argu ments he convinced his brother shareholders of the correctness of his views, and he had the satisfaction, in consequence of the purchase of the Richmond Railway by the South Western Company, of being enabled to return to the proprietors of the Richmond line the whole of their deposits, with the addition of a very large premium. Services such as these have never before been rendered by any railway di rector to his brother shareholders, and therefore it is right and fitting that such extraordinary services should be acknowledged in an extraordinary manner, a manner alike honourable to all the parties con cerned. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. PRUSSIA. The Minister, Count BRANDENBURG, Will, it is said, he returned to the first Chamber by the Electors of Schweidnitz. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. It is thought by many that M. BOULAY DE LA MreaTnE, who is a Bonapartist, will be chosen as Vice-President by the Assembly, in preference to M. VIVIEN, who at first was cons id ere d t o b e the favou rite candidate. The Club of the Institute and that of the Palais .National have determined to support M. BOULAY DE LA MEURTIIE. _ _ Commodore PARKER, of the United States Navy, his arrived at Berlin, en route for Fraulifort, where he will receive a commission to superintend the formation of a German fleet. There have been heavy falls of snow, and the pas sage of the Rhine, from Cologne to Deutz, has been stopped. At the close of the sitting of the National Assembly on Thursday the report of the Committee on the demand of the Minister of Justice relative to the trial of the "Vincennes prisoners, was presented. It recommends the adoption of the Minister's proposi tion, and further recommends that the debate on the project of law, settling the conditions of the trial to take place at Bourges, be had on Saturday, which was agreed to. A proposition to discuss a project of amnesty, by M. LEGRINGE, was rejected. At the sitting of the Assembly yesterday the project of law introduced Thursday, with respect to the salary to be settled on the Vice-President of the Republic, was brought under discussion. The Committee on the Bill had recommended that the salary should be fixed at 60,000 francs per annum. M. ANTHONY TOURET moved as an amendment that it should be fixed at 40,000 f. After a short discussion, the Assembly divided, when the salary of 60,000 f. was rejected by a majority of 472 votes to 270. M. ANTHONY TOURET'S amendment met with a similar fate. M. CBARASSIER then moved that the salary be fixed at 48,000 f., which is the salary of the President of the National Assembly ; and his proposition was, after a short dis cussion, agreed to by a majority of 516 votes to 233. The remaining business was of no public interest. At a conference of the members of the National Assembly, held yesterday, it was determined to urge on the Ministry the necessity of immediately intro ducing a law for closing the clubs. MM. LA MARTINE, DUFAURE, MONTALAMBERT, THIERS, and Mor.E will support such a measure. M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN is opposed to, and, in the columna_of the Presse, insists that liberty should be given to the clubs to meet openly. The Constitutionnel has the following on the affairs of Italy : " The Marquis Ricci is daily expected in Paris en route to Brussels, where he is to act as plenipotentiary from the King of Sardinia in the approaching confer ences. Count d'Antioch will accompany him as a councillor of legation. " According to accounts from our correspondent at Turin, there is much talk in the diplomatic circles in that city, of a proposition made by the Queen of Spain to open in one of the cities on the shores of the Mediterra nean, special conferences for the settlement of the affairs of Rome. The Sardinian Cabinet is said to have replied, that it wished to leave all the affairs of Italy to the con ferences at Brussels. In rejecting this proposition of the Spanish Cabinet, the Sardinian Government considered it its duty to protest to all the Cabinets of Europe against the intention of Spain to send a squadron to Gaeta. " This conduct on the part of the Sardinian Govern ment is in perfect accordance with the views of the Pope himself, who is opposed to any foreign armed interven tion in the Roman States. Pius IX. reckons with more confidence on the good relations which have never ceased to exist between him and King Charles Albert. The confidence which Italy feels in the latter Prince is, adds our correspondent, a powerful means entirely at the disposal of his Holiness to facilitate the arrange-• went to be brought about between the Pope and the well-thinking part of the population of the states of the Church. _ _ FRANKFORT. The debate on the question of the Chief of the Empire was resumed in the German Parliament on the 1S th, and again adjourned. " It is our ardent hope," adds the Constitutionnel, in reasoning on the above facts, " that the difficulties of the Roman question may be smoothed down by the efforts of the reason and the enlightened patriotism of the Italians themselves. Two circumstances tend to inspire us with this hope. Every one must have remarked that the anarchical movements in Italy have not been so simultaneous as those electricl commo• tions generally are where the people are led to the object in view by the instinct of their patriotism. Rome, the city of foreigners, has been in insurrection, whilst Bo logna, the hotbed of liberalism in the Pontifical States, opposed resistance to it. We are as yet ignorant what the result of the elections for the Constituent Assembly will be ; but we may mention a fact which leads us to appeal to the reason of Italy herself. The Pinelli Ministry, presided over by the brave General Perone, has been overthrown by the immediate war party. The last elections which took place in Pied mont led to the return of candidates of the moderate party, and M. Gioberti follows the line or policy of his predecessors. On attaining power, he mea sured the extent of his responsibility, and felt the weight of the national interest. In Tuscany the same phenomenon has been witnessed. The first condition for Italy to acquire the plenitude of her nationality is for her to know bow to govern herself. The right to moral respect facilitates and commands the assistance and disinterested efforts of friendly nations. In the midst of the attempts which may be made against the cause of order—against European liberty and interests —the French Government cannot remain indifferent spectators, and the fitting out of the fleet at Toulon is a measure as necessary as was the formation of the army of the Alps. The last acts of Radetzky have certainly shown some little contempt for ideas of conciliation; but there is nothing to lead to the belief that it will be abandoned. The interest of France is the maintenance of peace; her policy is that of conciliation; but she must remain on her guard, and be prepared for any eventuality." The Paine says :—" M. DE ROTHSCHILD has gone to Frankfort. It is thought that this journey is connected with the realisation of the Austrian loan. It is also known that a great part of that loan is already tendered for by the firm of M. STIEGLITZ, bankers to the Court of St. Petersburgh, a firm which in affairs of this kind passes for representing the Rus sian Government itself." BOURSE—PARIS, FRIDAY, JAN. 19. THREE O'CLOCK .—The lientes opened heavily to-day, at prices averaging per cent, below the closing prices of yesterday, but they gradually improved, and ulti mately closed at nearly yesterday's prices. The business done was not extensive. Exchange on Londoti (30 days), 25 32i; ditto (90 days), 25 224. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, JAL 19.

THE BRUSSELS CONFERENCES. A letter from Ilrunacla, a the 1611, lint, 3.y. " The Marquis DE Ricci, I who is charged to repre sent the Cabinet of Turin in the conferences here on the Italian question, arrived yesterday. M. LA GRENEE, the representative of France, and Mr. Ews, the English Envoy, are expected shortly." MONEY' and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool this week has been rather fluctu tang, but closed yesterday much the same as previously. The supply has been larger. The quantity taken on speculation has been about 10,000 bales. Railway Shares were brisk yesterday, and rather a large business was done at fuller rates. All the alterations—and they are important—which app?ar in the subjoined weekly return to the 13th inst. of the Bank of England, are referable to the Govern ment payments at the commencement of the quarter. The business done by the Bank had by no means in creased, money bring obtainable elsewhere: — Notes Issued 28,198,250 Decrease ... 36,490 Rest ... 3,458,161 Increase 57,446 Public Deposits ... ... 3,968,284 Decrease ... 4,450,761 Other Deposits ... 11,854,171 Increase ... 3,039,469 Seven Day and other Bills ... 1,082,872 Increase ... 70,155 Government Securities ... ... 13,621,954 Increase ... 22,357 Other Securities ... ... 10,624,760 Decrease ... ... 200,710 Notes 9,924,435 Decrease ... ... 1,060,615 Bullion 14.943,589 Decrease ... ... 81,213 Active Circulation 18,273,815 Increase ... ... 1,024,125 The news by the Overland Mail is considered good, and the mercantile accounts are favourable, although the 24th of October letters from London had rather de pressed the produce markets. The quantity of bullion received from abroad con tinues large. Every private ship from distant parts seems to bring a little, and the exports of silver to the Continent are much less than they were. About 10,000 oz. have been sent this week to Belgium, but this is a small amount compared to what was sent away a few weeks since on account of the loan to the Bank of Vienna. Cape of Good Hope papers of Dec. 2, being a week r than those received yesterday, have come to hand. They furnish no later news from the frontier, and, as befot e, the convict question engrossed almost exclusive attention. The Continental papers bring no news of prominent intereet. The Money Markete abroad continue easy. The funds oscillate but little. Consols have ranged from 814 . to 90 for money and time. Exchequer-bills (June) are 475. premium. The New Three-and. a- Quarter per Cents. have been 904 to 91. Bank Stock is worth 1885 to 190, and India Stock has been at 240 to 245, rather a wide range. India Bonds are 465. to 475. premium. The Foreign Securities are quieter. Spanish Five per Cents. 151 4; and the Three per Cents. 288 4. Peruvian Stock has been at 48 to 49. Mexican Bonds are 268 4. Dutch Four per Cents. have realised 78 to 78k, and Russian 103 to 105. In Railway Shares there has been a good deal doing again to-day, but Caledonian and Great Northern are not quite so good.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. A note has been transmitted from the Queen of SPAIN to the Austrian Government, proposing that :A Congress consisting of the representatives of Austria, France, Spain, Bavaria, Sardinia , and Tuscany should be held at some Port in the Mediterranean, to de. vise measures for, the restoration of the POPE to his temporal power. Accounts from Pesth state that Count LOUIS BATHYANY and Dr. S. SAPHIR have been sent to be tried by a council of war. It appears that the Hungarians have routed the Imperialists at Klausenberg, and have taken that im portant town by assault after a severe battle, in which the Imperialists were completely routed, the Hun garians have likewise taken the towns of Hossufulee and Turkos, Prince WINDISCHGRATZ has demanded reinforce ments, and the Austrian army is to be augmented in March by the junction of 100,000 recruits. The Sclavonians of Bohemia are dissatisfied with the Ministers, on account of the disinclination of the , latter to develop the federal system. Moreover, the Czech National Guards are dissatisfied with the mili- ITALY. The riots at Orvieto have been suppressed and tran quillity restored by the Civic Guard of Viterbo. The Roman Constituent Assembly will, it is said, meet on the sth February. The Roman people treat the Por.E's Bull of Ex communication as a capital joke. From its wording it can only apply to those who brought about the loss of the PopE's temporal authority; and as he would have retained that authority had he remained at Rome, those only are excommunicated who aided in taking him from Rome—viz., M. D'HARCOURT, Count SPAUR, Cardinal ANTONILLI, Senor MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA, and the coachman who drove, and the horses who drew the carriage which conveyed the POPE to Gaeta. The Porn is about to send Cardinals AMAT and ANTONELLI to Rome to negotiate with the autho rities there. IRELAND. DUBLIN, FRIDAY EvExiscr.---The landed proprietors of Waterford, who received advances of public money under the Drainage Act, have memorialised Lord Clarendon, pray ing that they may not be called upon to repay the dues for twenty-two years by instalments, according to an implied promise to that effect from Lord John Russell. They say that not half of the money expended will ever return to them in the shape of increased rates. The Treasury require the money to be refunded within ten years. A desperate encounter took place on Thursday morning between a party of the Down incendiaries and two young girls, daughters of a farmer over whose property they kept watch disguised in men's attire; one of the incendiaries is supposed to have been shot dead, and three more wounded, by the " Ulster Heroines." There was an extremely dull corn market to-day, and prices of all articles, including Indian corn, were rather lower than on Monday.

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' SCHOOLS.—We are gratified to learn that the house of Ford and Co., the respectable carriers of the West of England, have presented Mr. Charles Blowers, one of the stewards of the Commercial Travellers' Schools, a donation of ten guineas, for that most excellent institution. An injurious and apparently malicious article has been going the round of the papers (emanating from the Liverpool Albion), stating that " Jerrold's paper will soon be no more." This uncivil prophecy is best refuted by the vigorous efforts made by that paper in two excel lent and popular supplements for the present year, and by the fact that it has added several new features to its former large and miscellaneous contents, and is more prosperous than ever. Having added to its title that of " The Financial Economist," it has condensed its former title into "Jerrold's Weekly News," and it having been frequently quoted as " The Weekly News", may have led to the mis-statement alluded to. GREAT FIRE AT IRON-GATE WHARF, PADDING TON.—Last night, between the hours of seven and eight o'clock, a fire, involving a destruction of property valued at some thousands of pounds, broke out at Iron .gate Wharf, I'raed-street, Paddington, and for a period of nearly four hours illuminated the western portion of the metropolis. The premises were in the occupation of Mr. William Buddle, and were well known as the steam saw-mills and marble works ; the flames were first perceived by one of the neigh bours breaking out of the mill, a building upwards of one hundred feet in length, and nearly thirty feet wide, fitted up with costly machinery, and containing a great quantity of timber. In the space of a few minutes the entire mill was, from end to cad, wrapped in one immense body of fire. The engines of the parish of Paddington were quickly on the spot, as were also those of St. Maryiebone parish, and several of the London Establishment, and that of the West of England Fire Office. Before, however, they could be set to work, the flames had extended from the mill to a great quantity of timber standing in the yard, and the flames travelled with great rapidity into the moulding loft, and from thence into the polishing shops. Each of these departments were filled with works of great value and of an inflammable character, and it soon became apparent to the firemen that a vast amount of property was doomed to destruction. Water, in great abundance, was unceasingly poured into the midst of the flames, but, in spite of every exertion, the flames continued to progress most terrifically, and when at length the roof of the mill fell in, the fiery flakes were carried by the wind in myriads over the houses of the surrounding streets to the great alarm of the occu pants, although we have not heard of any damage from this cause. The fire was not mastered until nearly eleven o'clock. The origin of the calamity has not yet been dis covered. The whole of the workmen had left the premises some hours before the least signs of the fire were perceived. The damage done is very great. Mr. Buddle states that the machinery, which cost him a short time since up wards of 5,00111, was insured for only 1,0001., and that the insurances effected upon the stock in trade will not cover one tithe of his loss. By the indefatigable exertions of the firemen the show rooms and some other buildings have been saved. FIRE IN BISHOPSGATE.—Between five and six o'clock a fire of a very destructive character took place at Mr. Blackburn's, sack and mat manufacturer, Hel met-court, Wormwood-street, Bishopsgate. The utmost ex ertions of the firemen, aided by a plentiful supply of water, were unavailing, as far as the upper portion of the premises were concerned, and the contents of the ground floor, which escaped the conflagration, were m extensively - dnmaged. Th e premises of Mr. Elston, builder. adjoining, received some da a da mage. Mr. Blackburn was insured in the Phoenix Fire ofhiCe, and Mr. Elston in the Alliance. OPERA COMIQUE ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
