We willingly accord to the representatives of oppressed nationalities that refuge and safety they cannot find at home, and are by no means so morosely practical as not to re gard their noble aspirations, though chimerical, with some degree of sympathy. We don't judge them harshly, nor their schemes. We feel it to be just possible that they know more of their own affairs than we do, and give them the benefit of the doubt. In the present instance, however, the case is different. The act of VICTOR EM MANUEL, under all the circumstances, is within the scope of our judgment, and that judgment is in his favour. He has done the wisest thing he could do, and if he does not emulate his father's exam ple he does better for the country, and is not likely to meet with his father's fate. To win Italian independence and unity in the teeth of France and Austria he feels to be an impossibi lity ; and with a statesman's prescience he sees that the incubus of Russian influence— that barrier to all constitutional progress— removed a brighter day dawn for Italian liberty. In this faith, doubtless, and satisfied with the righteousness of their cause, he has joined the Western Alliance ; and, as GAVAZZI suggests, may, should the War continue, be called upon to supply "a contingency of Italian soldiers to fight side by side with Austrians and Frenchmen." The pos sibility of this, it seems, is intolerable to GAVAZZI it fills him with indignation; he cannot away with it. We presume, however, he knows something of Continental and of English history. Re may there read of an alliance quite as likely to have filled the GAvAzzis of that period with disgust ; and yet both political and religious liberty were promoted, and the Papal power, which he detests, was not a gainer by it. More : whatever know ledge of human nature he may possess, it should suffice to show him that the political exile who can contemplate with complacency the defeat in a righteous quarrel of the nation that gives him shelter and insures him safety—who has the audacity to promulgate by its press his expectation of opportunity and advantage to the cause he has at heart from that defeat—does more to injure that cause than would a succession of battles lost. How nobly, let us add, does the practical states man, in this instance, stand out iu relief while in juxtaposition with the political enthusiast ! The Buenos Ayres Bondholders appear to have much reason for complaint at the conduct pur sued towards them by the present financial minis ter of that country. Indeed, it would seem as if many of these minor South American States re garded JOHN BULL as an animal to be plundered with impunity—one that may grumble, but who, through the apathy of his Government, has no means of enforcing his just rights from those by whom he has been defrauded. It is well known that some thirty years since, during the palmy days of these operations, large advances were obtained from English capitalists by various States. Amongst others, that of Buenos Ayres plucked some of the tempting fruit. Having ob tained its entry through the introduction of a first-rate firm (Messrs. Baring Brothers), on "Tom Tidler's ground, it picked up the demnition gold and silver "to the tune of a million sterling. So brilliant were the auspices. So plausible the pro misca, uacier which it Tr...contract...4 that, u.i less than 851. was paid for each 1001. bond. Since that time, however, although some trifling sums were paid, the interest was suffered to remain due to the unfortunate Bondholders until some 25 years thereof; amounting in round terms to 1551. of every 1001. of original stock, fell into arrear. Considering the unquestionable respectability of the agents, and the undoubted ability of Buenos Ayres to satisfy the demands of all its creditors, it might have been anticipated that some reason able exertion should be made, to put the Bondholders into the position to which they are justly entitled, and which the honour —aye, and the interests:of the State (for in such cases honesty is the best policy) would demand. But Senor PEA, the Minister, does not seem inclined to do what lies within his power. Like others, he thinks himself justified in taking advantage of his own wrong, and getting rid of his liabilities at the depreciated rate to which the misconduct of himself and his pre decessors in office have reduced it. This may suit his notions of morality, but it will not meet the approval of JOHN BULL ; and, if the Bond holders be oily true to themselves, it must prove utterly abortive. The latest dodge is comprised in an additional article annexed to the budget, and of which Mr. GIRO, the agent of the Bondholders, has sent notice to his constituents. It is to the effect, that " the Government will apply to the pay ment of the domestic and foreign debt, by redeemable funds, the surplus which may result of the public revenue over the expenses stated in the budget, and others which the Legis lative Body may vote during the ensuing year." Now, the interest on the domestio debt has been liquidated there is no arrear, and any surplus fund should clearly be applied, first, to the punctual payment of that on the Foreign Debt now accruing due, and then to the reduction of the enormous arrear so scandalously suffered to accumulate. Until that be done it is a farce to speak of paying off, or rather of purchasing at a depreciated price, any portion of the principal ! Let, as we have stated, the bondholders be only true to themselves, and the anticipated scheme will fall to the ground, and the voice of public opinion, so long outraged, will compel the justice which cannot be obtained from the integrity or honour of the Government of Buenos Ayres so long as it remains in the present hands. , A 1 -1 17, 4 9 1 1 :: , 1 7- 4 1 Ny 1.4 a. 12,1 V RUSSIA AND THE WESTERN POWERS. The following telegraphic despatch has been received : " VIENNA, THURSDAY MORNING. "The English and French Ministers have re ceived powers enabling them to treat for peace with Russia." VIENNA, Jex. 17. Baron de Bourqueney and Lord Westmoreland yesterday received, by telegraph from Paris and London, instructions to open the Conferences. The despatches to this effect are on their way. PARIS, THURSDAY. The official account states the amount raised of the New Loan to be 2,175,000,000 fr. (two thousand one hundred and seventy-five million francs). The English subscriptions amount to 150 millions, those of other foreign nations to as much. The subscriptions of 500 fr. and under amount to 836,000,000 francs—exceeding by 336,000,000 francs the amount borrowed. All subscriE.tions below 10fr. will undergs a re duction of 40 to 42 per cent. ; all above that amount will remain without effect. The Morateur states, under the date of "Pera, Jan. 11," that Omer Pacha was at the camp before Sotastopol on the sth inst., where the generals of the Allied Armies agreed with him on their combined operations. Omer Pacha re-em barked for Varna on the 6th, and after giving his last orders there, would return immediately to the Crimea, to take the command of the Turkish army already landed. The Rrasiians attempted a sortie on the Bth, but were vigorously repulsed. MARSEILLES, WEDNESEIAY. The .7 - Gorna/ of Constantinople of the Bth con tains an account of a great diplomatic dinner given by 31. Bruck, Austrian Internuncio. M. Bruck grt ve, as a toast, " The Sultan and his brave a - cmy, who are the admiration of all Europe."' "There," the Internuncio exclaimed, " they have, in e•cery action, defeated the Russians; they have tauj, l lt the Russian Court that they were able glorim‘usly to defend the rights of Turkey against Muscovite ambition. Like the Western Powers, Austria was willing to fight for the rights of Turkey and of justice, whatever might be the reslalt." And he stated in conclusion, with remarkable energy, that Russia was no longer to be feared— —she must yield. The em otion of the guests was extreme ; and the Granll Vizier warmly thanked the Inter- nuncio. The Tui kish army in the Crimea will amount, before the , end. of January, to 60,000 men. The am mr had. ceased for the moment, and the last Englis h parallel had. been completed. fARSEILLES, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JAN. 17. The Et phfate, which left Constantinople on the Bth int tint, has arrived. Despatel les for the Government left at 7 45. TLe nv,vs from the Crimea is to the 3d of January. The Fronch batteries were daily approaching nearer Sebastopol. The Iv( 'wither was still very bad. Only Pm Russian ships remain now armed. Omer Paella has returned to Varna from Eupatorizi. We leas from Vienna and Berlin that great efforts are sit this moment brought to bear to ob tain the co nsent of the Western Powers to an armistice. The Emperor Napoleon's address to the Imperii:9.l Guards, the reinforcements sent by England, :and the treaty which France and Eng land have. concluded with Sardinia, have been regarded tht Berlin and St. Petersburg as evi dences of :an intention to complete the work com menced 1)11fore Sebastopol, irrespective of the general pr vfessions, more or less sincere, made iu the name of the Czar. The Berlin Cabinet is urging wi tat peculiar earnestness the necessity of suspending hostilities until the belligerests shall have puthnied further the recent endeavour to arrive at an understanding. It is believed that the recent irruption of Russian troops into the Dobrudscha , was mainly intended to demonstrate to the ..4.111.13s that the advantages offered by an armistice iv ere not monopolised by Russia. It is not certain that the Austrian Government was not a parts to the manoeuvre. COPENHAGEN, JAN. 17. The bill for altering the Fundamental Law has passed tho Tolksthing to-day, on a first reading, by 90 agaixtst 5 votes. FRANCE. TUESDAY EVENING. The Etn iperor and Empress honoured the first representa Lion of Scribe's drama of La Czarine last night -with their presence at the Theatre Francais. Their Majesties were received with warm demonstrations by the public on their en trance, and also saluted with acclamations on their departure. The Emperor, by decree of the 13th has, on the proposition of the Minister of War, conferred the military mfsdal on General Canrobert, aide-de camp of his Majesty, and Commander-in-Chief of the army o f the East. The General, the decree states, has served 28 years, made 17 campaigns, and received three wounds, two of them in the Crimea. An imperial decree promotes to the rank of general of ;br igade Colonels Beuret of the 39th, Verge of the 27th, and Niol of the 26th regiments of the line, flow serving in the Crimea. General Diettnaan has just died at Nancy of cholera in his 65th year. The Condit ationnel publishes 'a telegraphic des patch from DI/ Ail, which states that the Russian force which had latoly entered the Dobrudscha amounted to 15,000 ram, with 50 pieces of artillery. This news is in direct opposition to that given by the Afe;titeur, from which it would appear that although a body of Russians did pass the Danube on the 7th or Bth, they retreated to their old quar ters at Ismail. on the 10th. The above despatch, to be sure, is of the 12th, so that, after making the reconnaissance, they may have returned in force ; but this is not thought probable. Cardinal de )3onald Archbishop of Lyons, and the Bishop s o f Agen and Montauban have arrived at their respedive episcopal residences from Rome. A letter from Toulon, 12th, says :—" The Ville do Marseille, line of battle ship, arrived here to day, from Constantinople. The Suffren is hourly expected. The Hercule has landed all her guns, except eight, in order to have more room, for the conveyance of troops. She had received orders to take on board three months' provisions. The Titan, steamer, will leave to-morrow for the Levant, with 445 men and 15 horses belonging to the 43d regi ment. A letter from before Sebastopol, in the Presse, says :—"A Russian was taken prisoner while walk ing about in our works with the audacity of a better fate. He was dressed in the uniform of a captain of the African Chasseurs, killed at Balaklava. He thus reached the English works, where he acquired all the information he wished. Emboldened by this success, he returned on the following day, and was then more unreserved in asking questions. Au English colonel, who spoke to him, being aston ished at the ignorance Ile displayed on certain points, became suspicious, and arrested him, telling him that if he turned out to be really a French man, an apology would be made to him for his de tention. An investigation was accordingly insti tuted, and he turned out to be a Russian." BOURSE, JAN. 17.—CLOSING PRICES. Cash. fr. c.

The object of the CZAR'S unqualified accep tance of "the Four Points," as a starting point from whence to commence negotiations, is gradu ally becoming perceptible. From the first we felt satisfied that he had no bona fide intention of concluding an arrangement that promised to be permanent. His pride had not been sufficiently humiliated, nor his fears for the safety of his own dominions so greatly excited, as to induce him to abandon the aggressive policy which has been pursued, not only since his accession to the throne of all the Russias, but by his predecessors since the time of PETER the GREAT. It i 3 notorious that he aims at a great extension of power, if not at universal rule ; and 'what rendjra it even more improbable that he will relinquish these ambitious projects is that his "religious," or, rather, " superstitious," feelings—we shall notrler-e -crate the former term by applying it to such impulses as those by which the AUTOCRAT is actuated—are engaged in the contest. He fancies that he has a mission to accomplish ; that he is to extirpate every species of heresy or dissent, and to procure converts to the "orthodox" Greek Church, of which he is the recognised head, even at the point of the sword, if milder methods of persuasion should fail. To him, Mahometans, Protestants, or Roman Catho ' lies are all equally obnoxious. He tolerates no difference of opinion. All must comply with his orders, and be contented to seek their salvation in the path which he indicates. He has not, as yet, suffered sufficiently to have this notion beaten out of his head—the only possible remedy for such a disorder. He may dissimulate, or even condes cend to the " lie direct," but he is not as yet dis posed to yield. Why, then, it may be asked, give even an ap pearance of yielding, that must discourage his own subjects ? Why, unless he hopes to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion, re-open discussions that must prove unavailing ? Simply, because be well knows, that whatever may be the result he must profit thereby. He thoroughly understands the mental calibre of our diplomatists, and we confess that it is by no means surprising that he should have formed not a very exalted opinion thereof. He feels, as our contemporary, the Charivari—which, like our own Punch, clothes many wholesome truths under motley garbs— justly remarks, that " negotiations have always a certain influence on military operations." As ho is well aware of the hollowness of the preteu tensions he has put forward, he cannot himself be injured. He will not relax a single effort, not abate a particle of the exertions he is making to expel the Allied Forces •from the Crimea, and retain the stronghold from whence he can menace surrounding nations, and maintain flip mastery of the Black Sea and its environs. But he has confidence in the representations of Messrs. BRIGHT and COBDEN, in the effete senility of Lord ABERDEEN, and the fiscal and financial hobbies of Mr, GLADSTONE. He fancies that England will gladly grasp at the slightest glimpse of hope, in order to save some portion of the expenses which, according to the theory of the British financier, must all be' liquidated from the current revenue of the coun try—that we will consent to rest on our oars, and send no further reinforcements to the army of the Crimea until the various Plenipotentiaries had played out the diplomatic game—that we would, in fact, leave matters in what-we vainly imagined to be in statu quo until the negotiations had been broken off, wheal his incessant efforts during the interval might enable him to repeat the sanguinary attack of Inkerman, although with a very different result. Prussia is rendering her assistance to make the delusion complete. On Tuesday we alluded to the attitude just assumed by that Power, and the " demand " for the admission of a representative on her behalf to any cniferences that may be held ! But she is not contented to await the de cision of the other Powers on that modest propo sition. The Berlin Cabinet is already urging with peculiar earnestness the necessity (I) of sus pending hostilities, until the belligerents shall have pursued further the recent attempt to arrive at an understanding (! ! !). Tho mask is thus thrown off !—the cloven foot openly displayed. Russia wants an armistice ; and that alone should be sufficient to prevent the other Powers from acceding to the request. The siege of Sebasto pol must be pressed forward. There has been too much of the vis inerticr hitherto displayed. Wo shall not as yet enter into the vexed question of "Who is toblame?"—whether General or Minister ? We shall hear before we condemn. But whatever may have been the cause, we trust that it has ere this been removed, and that there will be more energetic exertions than have for some time been displayed. The fall of Sebastopol would mate rially help our diplomatists. The only effect of the renewed negotiations should, therefore, b 3-- not an armistice, but—increased vigour and addi tional activity on the part of the besiegers, to bring the protracted siege to a satisfactory termi nation. The policy of the King of SARDINIA in joining the West.ern. Alliance does not meet with the approbation of Fath er G A VAZZI. The fact would be of so little moment as hardly to call for remark were it not that the enthusiastic monk may fairly be presumed to represent an active if not very powerful section of the Italian people. He ha s l ost faith in VICTOR EIIMANUEL, and evidently d isenchants . himself with indignant regret of the illusion, a s h e now regards it, he has hitherto entertained that that MoYellen was destined " to pilot the sacred vessel of Italy into the harbour of independence and unity." He is of opinion, too, that, in a merely selfish point of view, the Head of the House of Savoy has committed a blunder, and has doffed his father's mantle, with no prospect before him of obtaining advantages at all com mensurate with the sacrifice. Supposing, he says, for the sake of argument, " that the Western Alliance, with its little satellites, shall be success ful"—he has his doubts it will be seen about the mat ter, and it is not too much to say his wish is father to them—" in putting a stop to the overwhelming tlh reward l l asl; t p h o e w n a g u cl of influence T o , fwitrhtaists ebne, of thy exertion and thy mistrust of th.nceletaalitantisle? In my belief, not mo re than a prey' utmost." Peor deluded KING ! See what comes GREAT INCREASE OF THE ARMY. It is stated in military circles that immediately on the re-assembling of Parliament, the strength of all regiments serving in the Crimea, Greece, the lonian Islands, Malta, and Gibraltar, is to be fur ther increased in the following manner, viz. : Cavalry regiments to have eight troops of 100 men each, exclusive of trumpeters and farriers. Infantry regiments to muster 1,600 men, instead of 1,400, as previously arranged. The Rifle Brigade, and the Ist Regiment of Foot, will have a 3d battalion, consisting of 1,000 men each. A. 3d battalion is now being raised for the 60th Rifles, whi c h, as soon as i t i s organise d and disci plined, will proceed to the seat of war. Four more infantry regiments will proceed to tho Crimea early i n the spring, as soon as the militia now embodied t a k e garrison duty. The cavalry regiments spoken of as about to be sent to the seat of war are the 2d, 6th, and 7th Dragoon Guards, and the 7th Hussars and 16th Lancers. The 15th Frussars, which have recently returned from India, are not to be sent. FALMOUTH, Jan. 15.—The Devon and Corn:mall Royal Miners Artillery Militia assembled at Peddennis Castle to-day, under the inspection of their Colonel, Sir Cole man Rashleigh and his staff, to be embodied. The number of absentees was very large on the roll being called at noon, but towards Light a number of them arrived in town. COURT CIRCULAR, AVINDOIt, JAN. The dinner party yesterday included her Royal High- ness the Duchess of Kent, the French Ambassador and the Countess Walewski, the Duke of Newcastle, the Earl of Cardigan, the Earl and Countess of Bess borough, Viscount and Viscountess Sydney, Lady Fanny Howard, and the Hon. Mary Seymour. The band of the Royal Bucks Militia played during dinner, and her Majesty's private band afterwards. The Queen and Prince, with the Princess Helena, walked in the Castle „vrdens and slopes this morning. His Excellency the French antb.tsailor :tad Countess \Valewski, the Duke of Newcastle, the Earl and Coun tess of Bessborough, and Viscount and Viscountess Sydney, have taken their departure to-day.

In consequence of the absence of proper persons at Balaklava to warehouse the vast quantity of goods lying at the above port, a communication has been forwarded from the War-office to the directors of the London and St. Katharine Dock Companies, requesting them to pro ♦ide a number of men who are to be despatched to the Crimea, and who are to be engaged in unloading the ves sels upon their arrival, and in placing the various articles in store rooms that will be provided for that purpose. About 400 men will bo required, the wages will be 245. a week, with rations for the labourers, and 21., with rationP, a week, for the foremen, and the men will be under an engagement for two years. A large number of men have offered their servicep, and above 100 have been approved of. Some of them will be conveyed im mediately in the vessels that are bound for the Crimea, and the whole of them will as fast as possible be shipped to that destination, as their services are most urgently required. DEATH OF GENERAL SIR A. F. BARNARD, G.C.B, O.C.FL, LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR OF CHELSEA HOSPITAL. We regret to announce the death of this venerable and gallant General, who expired yesterday morning, at his residence at Chelsea Hospital. Sir Andrew had been in indifferent health for the last fortnight, but it was only within the last few days that his disease threat ened an early dissolution. He continued from Sunday last to gradually sink, and died at six a.m. yesterday. The deceased General was son of the Rev. Henry Bar nard by the daughter of Dr. Robertson, and grandson of the late Bishop of Barnard, of Derry. He was born in 1773, and entered the army as Ensign of the 90th Foot in 1794. The gallant General served at St. Domingo from April to August in 1795, and accompanied the expedition under General Sir Ralph Abercromby to the West Indies, and was at the redac tion of Morne, Fortunes. In 1799 he also accompanied the expedition to the Helder, and was present in the actions of the 27th of August, 10th of September, and 2d and 6th of October. He subsequently took a dis tinguished part in the Peninsular, and was engaged at Barrossa (where he was severely wounded), Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajoz, the battles of Salamanca, and Vittoria, Neville (where he was again severely wounded), Orthes, and Toulouse. During the last four years of the war in the Peninsula, he commanded the Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade. Sir Andrew was in the receipt of a medal and four clasps, for his services in Portugal and Spain. He after- Nvaris grand the dangers and glories of the campaig n of 1815, and was slightly wounded at Waterloo. His great captain, the Duke of Wellington, had such a high opinion of his military services, that in the capitulation of Paris he was appointed by that illustrious general Commandant of the British division occupying the French capital. In 1821 George IV. appointed , him a Groom of the BAchamber, and in 1826 he was made Equerry to his Majesty. On the accession of Wiliiarn IV. he was appointed Clerk Marshal in the Royal HousehoH, and was for many years, indeed up to her de cease, Clerk Marshal to Queen Adelaide. The gallant de ceased was a knight of the Order of St. George of Russia and of Maria Theresa of Austria, for his military services at Waterloo ; and obtained the honour of a Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, in 1842, having passed through all the grades of that order, and a Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Hanoverian Guelpic Order in 1834. Sir Andrew was appointed Colonel of the Ist battalion of the Rifle Brigade on the 25th of August, 1322, which is now in the gift of the General Commanding in Chief, by his decease. Oa the death of General Sir George Anson, a few years back, he was selected by the Duke of Wel lington as Lieutenant-Governor of Chelsea Hospital. He had the honorary degree 9f M.A. conferred on him by the University of Cambridge in 1842, and was one of the early promoters of the Royal Academy of Music, of which institution he was one of the Governors.

Pains Bounsn.—The last accounts from the Paris Bourse show a further average rise of 1 per cent., with a preponderance of money purchases. From Vienna also the accounts are rather more favourable. CITY DISPENSARY.-At the usual half-yearly meeting of the governors of the City Dispensary, held yesterday at the offices, Queen-street, Cheapside, the minutes of previous meetings were read and confirmed, and the committee, auditors, and house-visitors elected. The chairman (Mr. Alderman Kennedy) urged in the course of the proceedings that no charity could be more de serving of support than that which afforded instant relief to the sick poor. Yesterday it was freezing all day at Southampton and its neighbourhood. The wind was north-east, and there was a considerable fall of snow. This weather has been long wished for in the south by the farmer and gardener to check the forwardness of vegetation. NAVAL COMIT-MARTIAL.—A court-martial was held on board her Majesty's ship Impregnable yesterday, composed of the following officers :—Rear-Admiral. Seymour, president ; Captains Mundy, Kingcome, Robb, Stopford, Wise, Fanshawe, and G. Ramsay ; Mr. John Eastlake, acting deputy-judge advocate, for- the trial of Mr. John Mackeigh, first class engineer, of her Majes ty's ship Cossack, on temporary service, on charges of assaulting Mr. John Henderson, third-class engineer, and with using disgusting language. To the latter charge the prisoner pleaded guilty ; and the former being► proved, and the court having given the matter their consideration, sentenced the prisoner to be dis missed the service. WARD OF FARRINGDON-WITIMT.— CORPORATION REFORM.—A meeting of the inhabitants of this ward was summoned for Wednesday, the 10th inst. ' to take into consideration the report lately mad e by th e Consoli dated Committee of the Court of Common Council touciiieg the reform of tho corporation. That meeting was adjourned on account of the small attendance, and a second meeting is, in consequence, announced for Thursday evening, the 18th :list., at the New Court; Old Bailey, at which it is expected that the committee's report and the whole question of the proposed corporate reform will be fully entered upon. A handbill is in cir culation among the inhabitants of the ward, pressing them to attend the meeting., and to give their hearty support to the C.unt of Common Council in the impera tive duty of resisting the mischievous experiments of those who are seeking to destroy all the reality of muni cipal government, under cover of the mere name of "cor poration reform." DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION AT BALL'S-POND.-- Yesterday morning, shortly after 12 o'clock, a most de structive fire broke out on the extensive premises of Mr. Catling, builder, Albion-place, Dorset-street, Ball's pond. The police on duty observed an unusual glare of light through the windows of the workshop, 65 feet long by 20 wide, and immediately raised an alarm, when the flames shot forth with terrific fury. The mounted police were despatched to Watling-street, Farringdon-street, fire-engine stations, and promptly arrived with a power ful Lie ly of firemen. The New River mains afforded a copious supply of water, when the engines got to work in an admirable manner, under the direction of Mr. Bridges, the district foreman. The flames, however, spread with amazing rapidity, and were not subdued till the building and its valuablo contents, with the workmen's tools, wore entirely destroyed, thus reducing the poor carpenters to a state of distress for the want of tools to support their families. The origin of the fire is unknown. The building and contents belonging to Mr. W. T. Catling are insured in the Royal Exchange to a large amount. TUE MAILS.--SOUTHAMPTON, Wednesday, Jan. 17. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Atrato (Captain Woolley), left this afternoon with the usual semi monthly West Indian and Pacific mails. She has on board 73 passengers, among whom are Count de Bour mont, Le Baron du Teil, Drs.Luvanston and Davonens, Colonel Ashmore, Lieutenants Goodman and Quill, &c. On freight the Atrato has specie value 6,600/. and a full cargo. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Madrid (Captain N. Cook) also left this afternoon with mails for Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, 160 passengers, 70,949/. 10s. in specie, of which 27,8541. 10s. is for Lisbon, and an average general cargo.

The Euxine will take the outward India and China mails of the 20th, and the Iberia the Peninsular mails of the 27th. The Parona, with the West India mail, is hourly expected. The United States' mail steam-ship Union (Captain Adams), left Havre and Southampton this day with snails, pas sengers, and a very full cargo, direct for New York. EMBEZZLEMENT AT LIVERPOOL. - At the Liverpool police court yesterday, John Bevan Donaldson, late collector at the Liverpool Mercury office, was committed for trial for embezzling several large sums which he col lected, the property of the proprietors of that, journal. It is said his defalcations reach over 1,000/. APPRELIENSION OF LIVERPOOL BROKERS.-A t the Liverpool Police Court yesterday, Messrs. Clifford, Frith, and Archer, brokers, of Walmer-buildings, Water-street, Liverpool, were brought before Mr. Joseph C. Ewart, on the charge of having pledged a quantity of tar placed in their hands as brokers for sale. The case was about being heard, when Mr. Ewart expr e s se d a d es i re that , o wing to its import ance, and as it i nvo l ved points o f l a w, Mr. Mansfield should hear it, and the c as e was adjourned until this day (Thursday), at ono ( an d the parties .;elock ad mitted to'bail. M r. Aspinall, b arr i s t e r, who appear e d , for the a ccuse d , stated that he had i n hi s possess i on a document containing the fullest authority for their con duct. THE PRINCIPALITIES. The Hamburg correspondent of the Independance Beige says that for the last few days very heavy sums in Austiian paper have been sent by Walla chian merchants to their correspondents at that place in payment of goods received. It is asserted that in Wallachia the people in general, and par ticularly those connected with trade, show them selves very backward in accepting Austrian paper money, the value of which is so very low. Their refusal to accept it causes very disagreeable scenes between the military authorities and the inhabi tants of the country. All this paper money will return hence to its source in Austria, which will not exactly contribute to raise its value. RUSSIA. La Patrie gives the following details of the mea sures taken by the Russian Government to keep open the communication Letween St. Petersburg, Cronstadt, and the principal points of Vie neigh bouring coast : "The Russian Government has this year had constructed in the Gulf of Finland between St. Petersburg and Cronstadt a wide causeway, bor dered on each side at every 20 paces with fine young firs cut in the neighbouring forests, and fixed in the ice and snow so as to form an avenue. Every 1,100 yards aro also fixed posts, roughly squared and painted in the national colours, with little flags on their tops. About every mile and a quarter there are huts made of wood planking where good fires are kept up for the use of travel lers. To light up the road at night above those huts are powerful reflectors which project the light a considerable distance, and a bell which in foggy weather is rung without ceasing,to indicate the route to such as have strayed. Half-way along the road there is also an enormous barrack of wood planking, which serves as an inn, and where there is tea, coffee, brandy, bread, meat, beer, and fires—in fact, everything necessary for warming and refresh ing the body. Immense stables, well furnished with forage and corn, are attached to this estab lishment, where there are horses for hire to supply the place of such as the frost may have killed. A similar road has been established be tween Peterhoff, Oriebaum, and Cronstadt. The Government has thought it necessary ,to open these two roads at once, in order to facilitate the the means of transport between the capital and the gate that opens on the Neva." GERMANY. The Bavarian Minister, Herr von der Pfordten, when moving, in the Bavarian Chamber, on the 12th, a bill for granting a credit to the Minister of War, said that the hopes of a restoration of peace had been gaining ground for some days, but that it was just as probable that war would continue and even assume vaster proportions ; it was, therefore, necessary to be prepared for every eventuality. AUSTRIA. Our latest advices from Vienna estate :—Though the news of the re-entrance of the Russians into the Dobrudscha can hardly be called official its correctness cannot be doubted. It is uncertain whether 10,000 or 15,000 Russians have crossed the river, and no one seems to know how many Turks have been put to the sword. According to one account Tul tolls has been taken by the t's sians • according to another, not only Tultcha but Matschin has fallen into their hands. The Rus sian Government is extremely desirous that hosti lities should be suspended while the negotiations for peace are going on, in order if possible to save Sebastopol from its impending fate, and it flatters itself that the present unexpected inroad into the so imperfectly defended Dobrudscha will induce the Allies to consent to an armistice. The Russians are astute, but they have probably deceived them selves in this matter. Placed as the Austrians now are in Wallachia, the Dobrudscha is a kind of military mousetrap, and the Russians dare not venture beyond its entrance. Since the treaty of December was signed, the Cossacks have repeatedly made forays on the right bank of the Pruth, that is in Moldavia, and Count Coronini, the Austrian Commander in that province, who possesses his Majesty's confidence, and is a thorough soldier, reported the circumstance to Vienna, instead of taking the law into his own hAnds, as would have been the case if the treaty had Iven fulfilled to the letter.

Ho added that he did not doubt that his successor, whoever he might be, would do the same in a week: M.

THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. The advices brought by the American mail from this quarter come down to the 9th. _Nov. The following vessels of war bad arrived at Honolulu about the middle of October :—The Eng lish corvette Amphitrite, and the French corvette L'Artemise, both from California.
