On the Ist of January considerable modifications will be made relative to the ocean postal service between Great Britain and the United OLAtell. 7 the British Government having entered into a fresh contract with Messrs. Cunard and M'lver, and having also for the first time granted subsidies to the Inman line of steamers sailing from Liverpool, and those of the Bremen Company, which call at Southampton. Under the new arrangements the mails will be forwarded on Tues days from Southampton by the Bremen Company, on Thursdays from Queenstown ty the Inman Com pany, and on Sundays from Queenstown by the Cunard Company. This latter company have dis continued the service between New York and Nassau, and also the fortnightly service between Queenstown and Halifax, which will be udder taken in future by the Inman. Company, while the service between Halifax, Bermuda, and St Thomas has been the subject of a special con tract with Mr. William Cunard, who will receive £14,000 per annum from the British Government for it. Under the new contracts with the British Go vernment, Messrs. Cunard, Burns, and M'lver have agreed to compound for a fixed sum of £BO,OOO for one year in lieu of the ocean postage ; while the In man and Bremen Companies have agreed to accept the ocean postage, which will give to each company a fluctuating subsidy proportionate to the numbers of letters carried. This ocean postage is estimated by the Inman Company to be worth £20,000 per annum. These three contracts, however, are only good for 1868, and will in all probability be subject to revision after that period. The United States Government have made the following arrange ments for 1868 :—The Bremen Company are to leave New York on Tuesday, the Hamburg Com pany on Thursday, and the Inman Company on Saturday, the Cunard Company retaining Wednesday—their usual day from New York. In this case the various companies will be paid by the ocean postage, worth probably about £15,000 a year ; but the Cunard Company will have to hand their receipts from this source to the British Post office. In addition to the subsidised line of steamers, other fine steamers sail weekly from Liverpool to North America. On Thursdays the Allan Company, who receive a subsidy from the Canadian Govern ment, despatch splendid steamers to Quebec or Port land, which call at the north of Ireland on both the homeward and the outward voyages ; while Messrs. Guion and Co. and the National Steamship Com pany have powerful steam fleets plying between Liverpool and New York, the vessels of the former company sailing from the Mersey on Saturdays, and those of the latter on Wednes days, and touching, when practicable, at Queens town. There are also recently established lines of steamers plying to Boston, Baltimore, and New Orleans from Liverpool ; but these steamers, like those of the Guion and National Companies, can only carry letters at the ordinary ship rates. The Cunard Company, in addition to their regular " mail" line sailing for New York every Saturday, will despatch extra steamers on Tuesday to New York, and also to Boston; and these first-class vessels (not being under contract) also carry letters at the ordinary ship rates, receiving Id. for each ; but the Cunard Company, in respect of these extra vessels, come under no possible obligations or penalties, and merely promise to sail them with tolerable regula rity, making the voyage in about 12 days. It will thus be seen that there is now rather more than daily correspondence between Liverpool and New York, &c.—Liverpool Albion.

Yet, in fact, it has been much overpraised. It is far from the best of Offenbach's works A few very sparkling and brilliant morceaux it contains. As a work, however, it is long, pretentious, and empty. " Voluntarily, conscientiously, and with much pleasure we recommend to our readers the Pain Killer. We speak from our own observation and experience when we say that it removes pain as if by magic from all parts of the body, and is one of the best medi ines in use for checking diarrhoea and removing the premonitory symptoms of cholera. It is used both internally and externally, with the best effects, and none who have once tried it would willingly be without it constantly in their houses."-- Cincinnati Evening Nanpariel, July 15,1850.—N0ne genuine without the trade mark of Perry Davis and Son, PAIN KILLER, engraved on the Government stamp.

MARK LANE. The country markets held on Saturday were /tithe scantily supplied with wheat, which sold steadily at full prices to a slight advance. Barley, oat=, beans, peas, and flour commanded previous rates. On the Continent wheat and most other kinds of pro duce continue iu fair request. In America both wheat and flour have tended upwards, owing to the closing of the canal navigation. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to this morning's market, coastwise and by land carriage, were only mode rate and in very middling condition. Selected samples were taken off slowly at last Monday's currency ; but low and damp qualities met a heavy inquiry at irregular quo tations. We were well supplied with foreign wheat. Sales pro gressed sluwly ; nevertheless, no change took place in Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little atten ion. Fine malting barley sold steadily, at full quotations; but grinding and distilling sorts ruled inactive at late rates. No change took place in the value of malt, the supply of which was good. Oats—the show of which was tolerably good—moved off freely, at very full prices. The sale for beans was steady, at prices equal to Monday last. Peas commanded full currencies, with a fair inquiry. We have to report a slow sale for flour. In prices, how ever, very little change took place. Seeds and cakes commanded very little attention. CURRENCY PER IMP.

There was a falling off in the supply of foreign sorts on sale here this morning. Nevertheless the demand ruled inactive, and the value of beasts gave way 2d per 81bs. Fresh up from our own grazing districts as well as from Scotland the arrivals of beasts were on the increase, and in very prime condition. The attendance of butchers was only moderate, and the demand for all breeds of beasts was very inactive, at a decline in the quotations compared with Monday last of 2d per 81bs. The best Scots and crosses sold at 5s per Sibs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received about 2,500 short horns, &c. ; from other parts of England 550 various breeds, from Scotland 291 Scots and crosses, and from Ireland 180 oxen, cows, &c. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied with sheep. Most breeds came to hand, in fair average quality. Prime Downs and half-brads were in moderate request, at full prices —viz., from 4s. 10d. to ss. per 81bs i but most other breeds moved off slowly, on rather easier terms.

We have no change to notice in this market. The de mand has been chiefly confined to choice growths, in which a moderate business had been doing on former terms.

AN ABSCONDING POTIIAN.—ROBBING AN EM PLOYER.—George King, potman, in the employ of Mr. Thomas Taylor, of the Cambridge Tavern, Newman-street, Oxford-street, was charged, before Mr. Mansfield, with stealing £lO in gold and silver, the moneys of his employer. Mr. Taylor said that the prisoner had been in his employ for about nine months as potman, and great confidence was placed in him. On Thursday night last he (prosecutor) went to bed at nine o'clock, and about an hour afterwards he was informed by his wife that the prisoner had left, and that £lO, which was placed in the bar, was gone. He gave infor mation to the police, and on Saturday, the prisoner being then in custody, he went to the station in George -street and charged him with robbing him. George Ferris, barman to the prosecutor, said that in consequence of information which reached him he went to a public-house in Kirby-street, Hatton-garden, and saw the prisoner there sitting at a table in the parlour. He sent for a constable and gave the prisoner into custody. He did not charge the prisoner with stealing Mr. Taylor's money, but with taking a coat belonging to him (witness) away with him. On the way to the station the prisoner put his hand into his pocket, and thinking he was going to take something out, he watched him, and saw him take a purse from his pocket and throw it away, and on picking it up he found it to contain £7 10s. in gold and ss. 6d. in silver. The prisoner asked him not to "round" . (say anything) about the prisoner, but to give it to him back, and afterwards told him that he had been to Deptford to get a ves sel for Australia, and that a person there gave him the money, and he gave the person his (witness's) coat. Police constable Irwin gave similar evidence to the previous witness, and Mr. Mansfield remanded the prisoner. WESTMINSTER. CANDID REVELATIONS.—James Dentist, a niiddle aged man, was charged with loitering about in the neighbourhood of tradesmens' shops for an unlawful purpose. Mr. Chapman, boot and shoemaker, Rochester mews, said, that he had seen the prisoner in front of his shop on Saturday night, and from what he saw and heard the accused was given into custody. Mrs. Chapman said that, finding the prisoner prowling about in . the front of her shop on Satur day night, she watched him closely, which he per ceived. He went away, and returned again, and, finding her still upon the look-out, exclaimed, " you may watch—you may watch, but d—n your eyes I'll rob you to-night before I go to bed." Mr. Arnold—Very candid, certainly. Police constable 285 B proved that the prisoner had been loitering about on Wednesday and the three following nights, and was examining the goods. Prisoner—l was examining the goods—what of that? Mr. Arnold—You told Mrs. Chapman you meant to rob her. Inspector Arnold—When the prisoner was asked his description at the station-house he said he was a thief, and got his living by thieving. Mr. Arnold—What do you say ? Prisoner—That's quite true. So I did. I got my living sometimes that way. Ho was ordered to find bail for his good behaviour. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKE7 —This Day. Market opens quiet, with a good demand. Prices steady.

The betting was 6to 4 on Leftley They went by mutual consent, and got off at the third attempt, Stamp gaining three yards the best of the start, notwithstanding which advantage Leftley, who ran most gamely, caught his opponent 50 yards from home, and won a fine race by half a yard. Everson and Cooper, both of Woolwich, next ran 120 yards for £6. They went by report of pistol, Everson with the best of the start. They cannoned two or three times, when Everson came in first by half a yard.

THE GREAT CHRISTMAS CAT £LE SHOW. AWARD OF THE PRIZES THIS DAY. The Great Christmas Exhibition of the Smith field Cattle Club commenced to-day at. the Agri cultural Hall. The number of beasts exhibited greatly exceedtd that of last year; and, in the opinion of those competent to form an opinion, the show this year came up to the average. One of the notable facts we have to record is that her Majesty the Queen this year exhibited in her own name, and, as will be seen, carried off a large number of prizes. The arrangements of the club, on this the private view, prevented an inspection of the stock, owing to the reporters being confined to the gal leries, so we have to content ourselves with merely on this occasion to give the names of the successful competitors. The judges were as follows :—Cattle : G. Baker, Orwell Park, Ipswich; Chas. Randell, Chadbury; Evesham; C. Vevers, Leominster; William Torr, Aylesbury Manor ; Edward Bowley, Siddington House ; and George Drewry, Holker Grange, Lancashire. Sheep : T. Brown, Marham ; Benj.
