The Brazilin squadron sailed for Paraguay on the 10th, and six more vessels of war are to follow in a few days • but it is the general opini on th a t the dispute will be amicably arranged. •• • "• ProvisiOns of all kinds are becoming exceedingly dear in Rio. The supply of cattle is falling.off. to an extent'whiCh threatens a great scarcity of fresh rseat. The poorer' classes are beginning to suffer severely. The fact is,. that the want of hands conseque,at upon the suppression of the slave trade is , beginning to be felt. The , yellow fever has entirely, left us, and. the city was never more healthy than at present. Our coffee and exchange markets have been very active. In imports generally little has been done. Exchange opened on the 9th at 27id. to 2771, and some bills were negotiated at 28d. The total amount passed since the Ist we estimate at 340,0001. on . London, 800,000 francs on France, and 330,000 mares banco on Hamburg. The mar ket closes very firm at our quotations. In coffee nothing was done until the sth, when dealers submitted to a decline of 150 reis, and a large business was done. The Severn's news, although unfavourable, did not produce 'a corres ponding effect in the market, but great activity has continued to prevail, and we estimate the total sales since the Ist at 150,000 bags, of which 100 are for Europe and 50 for the States. Yesterday we noted an improvement in the market, and the better qualities were sold at an advance of 50 or 100 reis. Supplies come forward very freely at the rate of 10,000 bags per day. Freights have ruled somewhat higher. Discounts rule at 7 to %per cent. Of affairs in Buenos Ayres, the B: itish Packet of Dec. 2, says, in its monthly retrospect, that business is at a dead standstill. The invasion of Nov. 5 paralysed everything : the horizon is de scribed as turbid and lowering. The Government was hesitating, and the wisest hesitate between the disadvantages which attend both a peace and a war policy. No hope .is entertained for a long peace while Urquiza is president of the Argentine Confederation, and the present rulers in Buenos Ayres are in power. On the export market the Packet thus reports : After a courageous stand tallow holders have at last given way, and, instead of 26 reals, one o f th e l atest transactions, a lot of 450 pipes, was done at 22i reals, and we believe there is a contract pending for all that can be got up at a certain Saladero, to the 19th inst., at 211 reals. The actual stocks on hand mint be very low, and it is still doubtful on what scale the Saladeros may work for the present season. At the present prices of live cattle and export produce we would predict very limited operations. At the same time strenuous efforts are being made to regulate rural property and collect strayed cattle, many of which have become wild; and of the latter it is not unlikely that a considerable number may be condemned to the shambles, to save their owners the trouble and expense of taming them. But in the meantime these operations of collecting and separating are virtually suspended by the embodiment of our rural militia, which leaves us in nearly the same state of uncertainty. Of dry ox and cow hides considerable stocks have accumulated, say upwards of 100,000 hides. In heavy hides the effective reduction may be about 20 per cent. on the extreme prices of August. The North American demand for light bides has been completely at abeyance for the last two months ; but they have found a new channel principally for the Continent, at a reduction of little more than 5 per cent. on previous rates., As an indispensable requisite for trimming vessels salted hides have been taken up readily at nearly former prices, and of these we believe the stocks on hand are very low.

THE MEDITERRANEAN. ----~-- MARSEILLES, Jan. 11.—The following British and French steamers are now waiting in the port of the Joliette to receive troops from the Crimea, but the troops are not ready. The Vulcan British steam frigate the Tamar, Alps, Rhone, Hydaspes, and Ripon , the French sailing frigate, Psyche, the transport Giraffe, and the French steamers, La France, Byzantin, Assyrien, and several transports. The British captains complain of the great loss of time, but they are consoled with the excuse that they are detained to convey the portion of the Imperial Guard to embark for the Crimea, and which are impatiently expected at Marseilles. The British steamer Jura sailed on Tuesday morning for Constantinople with a battalion and the staff of the 49th regiment. The Jura had been waiting here since the 27th of December. The Thabor brought about 100 wounded soldiers, who were carefUlly looked after on their arrival, and those whd were unable to walk were carried on stretchers to the military hospitals. General Ros tolan, the commander-in-chief, is most attentive to the sick and wounded. On the arrival of every steamer from the Fast, he either rides down to the port or sends an aide-de-camp to receive the invalids. A fati g ue party is likewise, in waiting on the quay, witha number of stretchers. Among the wounded arrived are several amputated and some who have had a leg frozen. They describe the cold as very intense during the night. In con sequence of the numerous assassinations which had taken place lately at Constantinople, a military police had been established by the French,and their soldiers patrolled the streets day and night. A Pri vate letter from Trebizonde, of the 21st Dec.,states, on the authority of a Persian traveller arrived from Tauris, that the Russian corps which it was sup posed had evacuated Bayazid, had returned there, after having made an excursion during three days in the direction of Erivan. It is said that the British Consul at Trebizonde had protested against the conduct of the Pasha Governor, who had re fused to permit the exportation of wheat, flour, and barley, in violation of the order issued by the Grand Vizier at Constantinople, permitting the free exit of such produce. The population of Sam soun and Trebizonde, whose interests were con siderably injured by the prohibition decreed by their Pasha, were impatiently waiting the result of the British Consul's protest. A letter from Toulon, received this morning, states that the repairs of the ship of the line Charlemagne had been completed, and the Fleurus had taken her place in the dockyard. A battalion of the 18th Light Infantry`had arrived for embar kation to join the army of the East. Th e s hip o f the line Duperro had sailed for the Crimea, having on board 24 officers and 932 non-commissioned officers and privates of the 14th of the line. ROYAL SOCIETY OF LITERATURE. —At a meeting of this society, held on Wednesday last—Benjamin Austen, EN., in the chair—Mr. Watkiss Lloyd com menced a paper "On the Sculptured Frieze of the Parthenon," in reply to certain opinions of Dr. Braun, of Rome.

THE WAR AND. T.llll INDEPENDENCE OF POLAND. In compliance with a numerously signed requisition a public meeting was called by his worship the ,Mayor, last evening (Wednesday) - , - to consider the question. We confess we attended with great doubts as to the in terest which the subject would create amongst us, but upon entering the hall at 7 o'clocii we found it rapidly filling, and it soon became crowded in every part. - His worship the Mayor, John Browne, Esq., on taking the chair, read the requi s iti on , a nd d ec l are d his readiness to comply with the wisheS of the inhabitants, and had therefore convened the:present meeting. The Rev, S. A. Steinthal moved the first resolution, which was seconded by R. Smith, jun., " That this meeting being deeply impressed with the importance of the present war being concluded by, such a peace alone as shall effeCtually check the aggressive policy of Russia,and thus insure the fut ure t ranqu illit y an d free -dem of urope, would declare its opinion, that this desir able end Can be best attained by the re-establishment of the Independence of the Polish Nation." The Rev. Gentleman succinctly and rapidly traced the past and present position of Poland, and pointed out how we, in'forme'r days, had done. much mischief to mankind by consenting to that which was iniquitous, and as we had not done our duty in times gone bye, it behoved us now, when engaged in war with Russia, to endeai7r to repair that mischief by doing justice to Poland. The speaker alluded to Poland,-.as past times, celebrated for her chivalrous love of libe r t y , f or her a d vance i n civilisation and literature, and for her tolerant spirit in religious matters. At the eonclusion of his remarks, he alluded to the presence of a distinguished Pole. present, who, by favour of the meeting, would enter into detail upon the state of his country. (Cheers.) R. SMITH, jun., Esq., most ably and forcibly seconded the resolution, and denounced the aggressive and gigantic strides which the policy of Russia had and was taking, and declared that if• not permanently shut up in her natural _barriers she would, like the barbarous hordes of olden time, overrun and trample with the heel of despot ism the freedom of Europe. Mr. smith called upon the people to speak out;. they were in danger of being sold by the diplomacy of Government if they allowed Minis ters during the recess of Parliament to patch up a treaty of peace with Russia. He declared that in his opinion the Ministers, by their conduct, - were the cause of the war, were guilty of the blood which had been spilt, and would be, unless the people spoke out, guilty of joining a treaty of no value in order to patch up a false peace and bolster,-them for a short time in their position as Ministers. (Hear, hear.) His Worship, after the cheering had subsided, intro duced the Polish exile—whose name we caught as Mr. Zaba—to the meeting. • This gentleman, in a speech of upwards of two houre duration ' most eloquently, feelingly, an d power f u ll y sketched the past and present position of his country, geographically, socially, politically, and religiously, and was repeatedly interrupted by bursts of applause from the meeting. It is completely out of our power to offer anything like an approximate sketch of his oration, as time and space precludes us from doing justice to even an outline of his speech, which was listened to with the most eager attention by the meeting, we caii bear tes timony th a t a t f ew meetings have we witnessed greater enthusiasm and eager des i re to carry out the objects of the speakers than we remarked at the large meeting last evening. Bridgwater has taken up the question right heartily, and with her well known sturdiness will not turn back from the mark she has once desired to reach. The 'eloquent stranger commenced by expressing his gratitude and joy at the manifestations of interest ex pressed in his cause, and paid rs' beautiful and feeling compliment to the memory of the late Lord. Dudley Stuart, the philanthropic and warm friend of the Polish cause in and out of the British Parliament. He consi dered that an honourable and lasting peace could only he permanently established by the restoration of Poland, and believed that the pregmt war was a just retribution on England and France for their past apathy and ne glect, and wholly the result of the dismemberment of Poland. The spark of justice which had ion• been slum bering in their bosoms was now raised into a flame. It was not sufficient that the Czar should be bumbled,—it was necessary that he should be crippled, and the only means of doing so effectually was by a restoration of Poland. The learned gentleman then reviewed the early condition of his beloved country on the dawn of the Christian era. The clemency of their religious tenets and general toleration of religious freedom ; the asylum she offered to the persecuted ; and the high moral character which the right appreciation of religious views had given her, reflected greatly to her honour as a nation. The early Polish nation was divided into two classes, the nobility and the peasantry. A citizen of Poland was ‘forbilden to hold- any title they were all brethren. Every indixidual could be admitted to the order of tie institution, which was based upon the most honourabb principles. - When an individual was raised to the rink of nobleman, all • his family particip a t e d i n th e h onour. I t was an insti tution that stimulated the energiss of all, creating a noble • spirit, and a love and interest for their country. The order enjoyed many privileges; an audience with the king could be commanded by Clem at all times. The noblemen of Poland could be compared to the members of our Parliament ; and the only stepping-stone to that honour was bravery and devotion to their country. Poland had produced men of eminence, amongst them Copernicus, who had laid the foundation of the glory of Newton; and he was proud in saying that Poland gave birth to so great and eminent a man. Mr. Zaba then com pared the peasants of Poland with the serfs of Russia ; the one inspired with all that wrai ennobling in nature, a lova of country, with a heart ever alive to the bless ings of religious liberty and independence ; the other dull, somnific, and cringing, their every action ruled by the whim arid caprice of their owner and master, who were obliged to think as he thought, and to be the goods and chattels of his business transactions—selling them or gambling them away as he chose. Russia had im posed upon Poland a pseudo protection of her religi ous members, similar to that which sh e has unsuccesfully thrust upon Turkey. Treaties had been made by Prussia, Austria, and Russia, and each had acted treacherously towards her, and under the mask of friendship had assisted in breaking up the kingdom of Poland, which they had decimated and divided amongst themselves, Russia having the lion's share of the spoil. Poland resisted, but with her handful of men could not contend against the troops poured in by her sworn protectors. The only way of insuring safety from the despotic spirit of Russia was reducing her to her ancient limits and restoring the kingdom of Poland. It was •by the annihilation of the kingdom of Poland that Russia had grown into importance. Russia it was reported had accepted the • four points of the treaty, but he believed the restoration of Poland was the only guarantee for the permanent peace of Europe. An address was then read by Mr. Steinthal embodying the opinions of the meeting, and the following resolution was moved by Mr. J. R. Smith, secOnded by Mr. Rossitor " That the address now read be signed by the Mayor on behalf of the meeting and be forwarcled by him to Lord Palmerston." Mr. ROSSITOR, in seconding the above, attributed the whole of the bungling and mismanagement during the present campaign to those who held the reins of Go vernment. Was the Earl of Aberdeen—who was the known friend to our bitterest, enemy, the Emperor of Russia—a fit person to be at the head of the Govern ment? Was Sidney Herbert, who is the son of a Russian lady, fit to be the Master of the War Office, who had remained inactive till war was commenced by Turkey herself, and England was obliged to help her 1 The speaker then drew a melancholy picture of the state of our troops after the battle of Inkerman, and ridiculed the idea of employing foreign mercenaries when a legion of Poles, who had an interest in the cause, could be easily called around the English standard—a noble legion who would be fighting for their fatherland. Mr STRINTHAL then read petitions which were in tended to be presented to the houses of Parliam en t. Mr. TAYLOR in a short but pithy speech proposed the following resolution 1 " That the petition now read b e adopted by this meeting and signed, and be forward e d by the Mayor, the one to the House of Lords to the Earlof Harrowby, and that to the House of Commons to the members for the borough, requesting them to sup port the prayer of the petition. The following address of sympathy for the Poles in this country was read by Mr. Steinthal " TO PRINCE ADAM CZARTORYSKI. g e i m S bld ir e, desire —Thain to' ha approach bitants you, of Br n id g a w d t ateor' in public hall assembled, express through you to your fellow-countrymen, the noble patriots who have suffered in behalf of Polish independence, their deep and sincere sympathy with their noble and patient perse verance in behalf of freedom during so many years of exile and distress. "'They would express their earnest prayer that the dawn of better days may be approaching for Poland, and hope that soon a free nation, governed by institutions framed according to their own desires and , necessities, they may be able to oppose a firm barrier against Russian despotism and barbarism. With profound respect for all who have been engaged in the arduous struggle for independence they would urge upon the Polish people the necessity of continued self-sacrifice and sold-devotion, and would com mend the cause of all oppressed to that just God who will not suffer the wicked to prevail for ever." The following resolution, proposed by Mr. STEINTHAL, seconded by Mr. J. HIIEUAN, was passed unanimously —" That the address now read be signed by the Mayor on behalf of the meeting, and sent to Prince Adam Czartoryski." A vote of thanks to the Mayor terminated the pro ceedings. ' The address to be presented to,Parliament will lie on the table at the Burgess Hall to-day (Thursday) for sig nature, the Mayor recommending that every one present at the meeting should come himself and bring two others with him to sign the document.—Briciggater 211140. OUR EXPERIENCE IN THE CRIMEA. We reap, at any rate, this advantage from the miserable miscarriage of all our military depart ments, that we are free henceforth to criticise and suggest. The stereotyped question, " What can civilians know about it?" has lost its terrors,' for no civilian need be afraid of suggesting anything which could more completely miscarry than the arrange. ments of our military oracles. We are most anxious that the heavy price which we are paying for expe rience and f or th e r i g ht t o t e ll h ea d s o f military i departments that they do not understand their own business should not be paid in vain, and that, if they are fated to accomplish upon our troops that destruction which storm, sword, and pestilence have essayed in vain, the fall should, at any rate, bring down with it the system to which it is to be attributed. We have been favoured with the notes of a distinguished officer now on active service in the Crimea on many of these subjects, and, though - sdrne are of too minute and technical a nature for the columns of thisjournal, and only fitted for the pages of an exclusively military publication, there are others to which we think we shall do good ser vice in drawing the attention of the ptiblic. The infantry, in the opinion of our authority— in which, we believe, he is supported by the una:. nimous assent of Europe—consists of the very best material out of which soldiers can possibly be made. Their steadiness, their docility, their great physical strength, and unfaltering confidence in each other, render them susceptible of the very highest discipline, and make their appearance on parade and on the battle-field as splendid and im posing as their mevemente are solid and regular. Their regimental organisation, also, we may add, and the feeling of emulation between different corps, give them a spirit and an energy unknown to armies in which everything is referred to the whole rather than to its subdivisions. But when employed on outpost duty or in the came---in a large proportion, in fact, of those matters which go make up a soldier's existence during a campaign —the British Grenadier by no means maintains the unquestionable superiority he evinces on a field of battle. Confident in their personal valour, and contemptuous of the prowess of an enemy to whom they may be opposed, our soldiers are accused of being negligent sentries and very improvident pickets. They are, moreover, al leged to be deficient in resource, and to want altogether that intuitive perception and military tact which enable the Frenchman to seize an oppor tunity, to cover a retreat, or to repair a disaster. Our soldiers and regimental officers, according to the same authority, when on detached duty and exposed situations, frequently allow the enemy to take strange liberties with them, and are often reduced to win back by great personal exposure and loss advantages which a little care and dex terity would have secured to them. In camp the same thing is observed ; soldiers and officers are said to be very helpless in providing for their wants, and to evince no aptitude in turning to the best account the resources which every country places at their disposal. We give the criticism as we find it, and make no doubt, arguing both from the experience of former wars as well as from cer tain indications in the present, and, indeed, from the peculiarities of our national character, that it has a foundation in justice. Our men„ it is added, know nothing of campaigning, and our officers, whose duty it is to instruct them, have no more practical, and, in general, we fear, little more theoretical knowledge. Both will learn these things from experience, but that experience is acquired by immense suffering and loss. So far as this fault exists, it. points to a de fect in military education which it is quite possible and highly desirable to correct. It would not be difficult to give the soldier an idea of the ordinary incidents attendant upon military life in the face of an enemy, instead of confining his knowledge to the rare occasion of a great battle, and to instruct the officers, and through them the men, in the use of those manoeuvres which constitute the tactics and evolutions of la petite guerre. Nor would it be difficult, we should think, to teach both officers and men, together with their drill, some rudiments of the culinary art, together with some hints as to the way of making the best of a bivouac or of tent life. Certain sanitary rules might at the same time be enforced with no little advantage to the health and comfort of the troops. We have given these criticisms as we found them, believing from the experience of the late Kafir war, and, indeed, of all occasions in which our troops have been called upon to display extraordi nary resources and ingenuity, that they are not de void of foundation. At the same time, we must protest against these or similar criticisms being accepted as accounting in any considerable degree for the miseries of our army in the Crimea, or tend ing in the least to transfer the blame of their suf ferings and misfortunes from the heads of depart ments here and at the seat of war to the troops themselves. No doubt our pickets have been more than once surprised and our sentries bayonetted by the pitiless foe, but these were men who had been exposed during eighteen out of every twenty-four hours to censtant labour in the trenches, or at the outposts, or in doing the duty of beasts of burden in the conveyance of artillery and pro visions ; and overtasked human nature, and not any laziness of the men, must bear the blame, if the danger of instant death and the danger of 'exposing the whole army to a surprise as dreadful as that of Inkerman could not keep open eyelids weighed down by such cruel and unceasing labour. There is, indeed, one of our contemporaries, not much prone to too favourable a consideration of any one except her Majesty's Ministers, which has revived against our army that charge of effeminacy which Gibbon has brought against all modern sol diers, and, rather than admit the maladministra tion of officials, accuses their victims of being too soft to bear up against the hardships incidental to a state of war. Never was accusation more unjust. In rags, in famine, in cold, in wet, in mud, and in snow the English regimental officers and soldiers have struggled on, under what fearful inflictions let the death and disease which have swept off their hundreds a.day testify against these heartless critics. Nor in this cam paign can the soldier's want of skill be said to have caused, though it may, in some degree, have aggravated, his miseries. Our soldiers have had hardly any implements for cooking, and yet have been forced to feed on substances—raw coffee anti raw pork—to convert which into human food a thorough cooking was absolutely indispensable. Had every private in the army been a Soy er or a Ude, he could not have made for himself a com fortable meal without firewood, with a dry spot to kindle it upon, without a pot, a saucepan, a grid iron, or a frying-pan. That our soldiers are help less in these matters we believe, but in this instance the helplessness of their commanders has monopo lised the whole blame, and withheld from the pri vate soldier all means of showing whether or not the soldier is capable - of providing for his own corn fort. With this qualification, we accept our mili tary critic's observations on the private soldier and regimental officer, and commend them, as the fruit of long experience and attentive observation, to those whose business it is to supply with fresh men the rapidly thinning ranks of the army in the Crimea.—Times. SUDDEN DEATH OF SIR G. WOMBWELL, BAUT.—We regret to announce the sudden death of Sir George Wombwell, Bart., who was found dead in his bed yes terday morning, at his town residence in George-street, Hanover-square. We are nformed that Sir George re tired to rest at ten o'clock, apparently in his usual health and cheerful spirits ; yesterday, at half-past eight, his servant went as customary to his chamber to call him, but not receiving any reply ho approached the bed, and discovered his master quite dead. Sir George's medical attendant, Mr. Fuller, was soon at hand, but it was thought life must have been extinct at least three hours before the discovery was made. The deceased baronet had died to all appearance without a struggle, as be seemed to be in a sound slumber. Sir George was well known in the circles of fashion, and his sudden dissolu tion will be regretted by a numerous body of friends. Sir G. Wombwell was second son of Sir George, second baronet, by Anne, daughter of Henry, Earl Falconberg, and was born 13th April, 1792. He married first, 23d June, 1824, Georgia.na, youngest daughter of Mr. Orby Hunter, of Crowland Abbey, Lincolnshire ; and secondly, Eliza, daughter of Mr. J. E. Little, of Hampton. The deceased succeeded to the baronetcy on the death of his father, 29th October, 1846, and the baronetcy and family estates now devolve on the late baronet's son, Lieutenant George Wombwell, of the 17th Lancers ; the other son of the deceased baronet is also serving with his regi ment, the 62d, in the Crimea. The present gallant ba ronet has only recently been promoted for his distin guished gallantry at the memorable cavalry charge of Major-General the Earl of Cardigan, at the battle of Balaklava, when he had his hors e killed under him, and was taken prisoner by a Russian trooper ; while being carried off the field, he succeeded in unhorsing his cap tor, fired his pistol and wounded him, and then rapidly mountine , the horse of the Russian soldier, made his escape back to his comrades, by whom he was loudly and heartily commended for his bravery. For this igallant act he was promoted, a few days since, to a lieutonntoy in his regiment, faISSIA AND THE FOUR POINTS. (Prone Galignani's,Nessenger.) Th 9 Debats, acting . on the principle that it is wise to make a golden bridge for our enemies, expresses an (Tim. tt that there is no humiliation for the Czar in ac cepting- the conditions dictated by the Western Powers. We sho u, 'd agree with the Debats, if it had declared that there is no humiliation in doing what is right, even after h av i ng p e ,rsisted for a long time in wrong, but this theis way in which we can accept i ts posit i on. I t is iva possib, l e, therefore, for us to be very sangu i ne o f only pea ce from 'Yvhat has recently occurred at Vienna, al thoc gh at the same time we will admit that there is a great , moral triumph for France and England in the acceptation of ..the four points, even though there may, as stated by the Constitutionnel and the Pays, have been sore reserves on the part of Russia. When we call to min() the positive declaration of Count Nesseli -ode that the four points were too humiliating for l i them to • he entertained by the Emperor of Russia, it is impose} ble for us not to have a suspicion that they have been ac, tepted for the purpose of gaining time, and pro fiting by some favourable event—all hope of which the Czar has: evidently not abandoned—to object in the course of the negotiations for peace to the interpretation of them. given by the Western Powers. When the Debats states that there is no humiliation in the accepta tion of tht- four points, it forgets that the Emperor of Russia has declared that to accept thew would be an act of humiliation. He may have made up his mind to this humiliation, and with the sincere intention of keep ing faith this' time with his adiersaries. We shall be among the first to declare that he has shown moral courage in the apparent inconsistency of his present act, after having said that, as long as a chance remained of avoiding: what he has called humiliation, he would never consent to the demands of the Allied Powers, nor shall we be alone in this view of the subject. The world at large will say that he has gained more honour by a con cession to the cause of right than he could gain by' a course of - victory in the consummation of the work of injustice_ The Debats rays : "We hail with lively satisfaction the hope of peace. We have been for a very long time partisans of Euro pean place, and when we consider the immense advan tages which civilisation has obtained from peace during 40 years, we salute with joy the chance of peace which is pre sented. Te express these sentiments with so much the more joy ,that we do not think we are indulging in a vain sentiment of national pride in saying that peace, if it be made, will lie glorious for France, and that . France will _have gained by the war, short as it will have been, what can be „gained by war, namely, glory, reputation, and ascendancy. We are not going to make any comparison here between what France will have gained and what Russia will have lost. We do not like theselpitrallels, in which it is so easy to assign a small share to the enemy. We neither want to de preciate our adversaries nor to exalt ourselves. We think, however, that we are responding to the opinion of Europe in remarking how much our military organi satiou, AO carefully maintained under the constitutional monarchy„ and how much the efforts which that organi sation has permitted us to make, have added to the war like reputation of France. The war in the East has shown in a striking manner that our army and our ad ministration had lost nothing during the peace. Algiers conquered and colonised since 1830, had given us in 1843 an army which saved social order in France ; Algiers in 1854, has also given us an army capable of upholding in the East the just power of France ; and when we speak of Algiers, we do not separate in our mind Algiers from the War-department, which has directed the affairs of Algeria for upwards of 20 years with such activity and intelligence. The excellent con duct of the affairs of Algiers has been for the War-depart ment its apprenticeship for the expedition to the East. We should reproach ourselves were we to speak of the advantage which we have derived from our military organisation, without saying a word of the political advantages which it has procured us. Here also we do not wish to exaggerate in any respect, but if any one had told us that in six months France and England would obtain the conditions which they have set forth in the note of August 8, that is to say, that the Black Sea should not belong any longer to the preponderance of Russia, that the Bosphorus should be protected from naval invasions from the North, that the Danube should be free, that the Christian subjects of Turkey should be protected by the common patronage of Europe, that the Moldo-Wallachian protectorate should be also shared amongst all the European Powers, who would not have thought that such results could only hwre been obtained after long and painful efforts ! A peace assuring such advantages, even if it gave nothing more, would be useful and glori ous, and that is the reason why we rejoice at the hope of peace. We know well that peace has not yet been made, that the negotiations are scarcely com menced, that many events and divers interests can interfere with it ; but there is already one great fact obtained in the question, and that is the acceptation by Russia of the conditions, defined and interpreted by the protocol of December,2B. That acceptation, which is a step towards peace, is not a humiliation for any one ; it fixes, however, if we may say so, the political situation of the various Powers of Europe, and France has reason to congratulate herself on her situation ; she will con gratulate herself still more, should that situation, already marked in the negotiations, be definitively con firmed by peace. There may be, in France various opinions as to the measure of liberty and order which is proper for our country at home, but there cannot be any as to the measure of dignity and power which our coun try ought to have abroad ; and on that point all French men, both in France and out of it, have the same thought and the same sentiment."

LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY.— The employes of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway have volu n t ar il y contr ib ute d 3121 . 17 s . sd. t o the Patriotic Fund, which sum has been transmitted to the Royal Commissioners. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—The United States mail steamship Pacific, Captain E. Nye, sailed this after noon for New York with the weekly mails for the United States and Canada, 70 passengers, and a fair cargo of merchandise on freight. The Royal Mail steamship America, with advices from New York to the 2d, Boston to the 3d, and Halifax to the sth instant, may be expected to-morrow night. EITRAORDINARY ROBBERY.—The Bishop of Lincoln a few days ago laid the foundation stone of a new church at Memsfield, Notts. In the cavity of the foundation-stone a bottle containing a number of coins was placed. On Thursday last, on the workmen going early to labour, they discovered that the smith's shop bad been broken open, and two crowbars taken there from. On further examination it was discovered that the crowbars had been used by robbers in forcing the stone at the back of the one which was laid by the Bishop of Lincoln a few days previously. After the stone bad been raised by the bars, the robbers had propped it up by placing a plank against it, while they broke the glass and took the bottle containing the coins away. Mr. Cobden is announced to address his constituents in the Music Hall, Leeds, on Wednesday next, at noon, and not, as originally proposed, on Tuesday. The placards first posted called the meeting for the even i ng , but subsequently it has been decided to hold it a t noon, for the purpose, we presume, of affording the electors of other parts of the riding an opportunity to be present, and, we believe, if necessary, that an adjournment May take place to the Cloth Elan yard, as it is anticipated that the Music Hall will hold but a very small minority of those who may claim to be present. We do not know the reason why the hon. member has selected this period for his visit, but we understand that a few weeks ago he communicated with Mr. Carbutt, intimating his intention ofaddressing his constituents in Leeds on the questions of the day, and requesting that gentleman to make the necessary arrangements. Mr. Carbutt, after consulting several political friends, replied that so far as they knew Mr. Cobden's views on the great ques - of the day, the war, they were decidedly op= .posed to them, and pointed out the impropriety of his visiting Leeds at such a time, when it was de sirable to avoid all political antagonism. After com municating with several of the more ultra-peace party in the riding, Mr. Cobden announced his intention of visiting Leeds on Wednesday next, for the pur pose of addressing his constituents. A meeting of his political supporters in Leeds was held on Thursday, and again on Friday, when it was determined to assist him in obtaining a fair hearing, and with that view it is pro posed that Mr. Carbutt, a gentleman whose views on the war have been publicly stated, shall he called to the chair. The hon. member's friends, however, desirous of disavowing any accordance in his views on the war, passed a resolution declaring their dissension from those views, and agreed to the following resolution, to be moved and seconded at the meeting on Wednesday : That in the opinion of this meeting the war in which England and France are now engaged with Russia is a spirit great contest, forced upon them by th e outrageous e threatens the sit of ag gran di sement ag gression of the latter Power upon th e T ur ki s h E mp i re, on a the ndis part tnodf the edto c c z r a e r at whh create a i indepen dence of other nations, and this meeting is of opinion that the war ought to be prosecuted with the utmost vigour until safe and honourable terms of peace can be obtained." This resolution, it is stated, will be entrusted to James Garth Marshall, Esq., and Mr. Edward Baines, and will probably be supported by a leading Conservative. It is desired by all parties to divest the meeting as much as possible of a political character, and to confin ) it to the discussion of the absorbing question of the day e .and efforts will be made to restrict the proceedings to-the address of Mr. Cobden, and the adoption or rejection of the resolution given above ; but it is not improbable that some gentleman may move a resolution of a still more con demnatory:character, and also a resolution memorialising the Queen to dismiss the Ministry. As to dismis sion, it has been found impossible to adopt any plan which shall be entirely satisfactory, as the space to be occupied is so very limited, but it has been determined to reserve the orchestra to holders of circulars, which have been issued equally to Conservatives and Liberals. That the result of: the meeting will testify the strong feeling entertained by the electors of the West Riding, in approval of the war, we can have no doubt, though it is probable the peace party will muster well and show a respectable minority.—Leeds Intelligencer, OMER PACHA AND HIS OLD ENEMY. A letter from Bucharest of 29th ult., says : " You will have learned that Omer Pacha only left Rustchuk fir Varna on the 18th of this month, and that he hoped to be able to embark for the Crimea on the Ist of January. You know also that his accusation against Riza Pacha, the Minister of War, who is his mortal enemy—having left him in want of everything-- has had no success in the Council, and that Riza Pacha has proved on the contrary that he had provided for the wants of the army, and that Omer Pacha had neglected the means of transport. The latter, who always wishes to do well, but does not always clearly see the means, was greatly irritated and wished to go to Constantinople to support his accusation ; but he could not obtain the necessary authorisation. His corps d'armee, which is at Varna, refased to embark for the Crimea before receiving three months' pay, and being assured of its subsistence. There only remain in Wel. lachia ten battalions of infantry, and a regiment of ca valry ; and they are stationed at Bucharest, Braila, Giurgevo, and Kalarash. Ismail Pacha (of Kalafat), replaces the Muchir Omer Pacha in the command of the army of the Danube. The Imperial Commissioner of the Sublime Porte, Dervish Pacha, is decidedly to leave to-morrow, to return to Constantinople with Rhis suite, to report an the investigation he has made into the administration of Prince Stirbey. This departure has naturally reanimated the hopes of all the pretenders to the office of Hospodar. The partisans of Prince Stirbey comp'ain that the investi gation of Dervish Pacha has been made without his participation, and without the slightest explanation being demanded from him. They ask if such an extraordinary and exceptional measure 2,4 that of an investigation against the administration of a reigning Prince ought not to have been based on a formal act of accusation, and if that act ought not to have been communicated to him. They represent that when in 1841 an in quiry was instituted at the request of Russia, by two commissioners, one Russian and the other Otto. man, into the conduct of Prince Alexander Ghika, it was preceded by a hostile address from the general assembly of the representatives of the country. What causes it to be believed that no very friendly sen timents towards Prince Stirbey are entertained at Constantinople, is the text of the conclusion of a. despatch from Reschid Pacha to Dervish Pacha, dated. the 30th September, 1854, and which the latter com municated at the time to the Consuls and to the boyards, who are candidates for the office of Hospodar : You will not embarrass the administration of Prince Stirbey, but you will pursue the inquiry, and it may lead to the dismissal of the Prince.' The Gov.ernment continues to make extensive changes in the administration, and it cannot be denied that they will prove advantageous. The Russian protégés are being removed to make way for a class of young administrators, wh.o have almost a'A been educated at Paris, and who will soon propagate i n an efficacious way the civilising ideas of the reigning Prince. The children of the Prince have for some time been at a college in Paris." STATE OF TRADI. MANCHESTER, Jan. 12.—The favourable effect pro-, duced on our market by the political announe ement 4 which so much surprised us in the beginning of th.ie week, has suffered diminution from day to day, as it ',became more and more evident that no result in accordar tee vrith the righteous objects of the allies was likely to be at tained through the proposed negotiations, wh Dee real purpose would seem to be a further bamboozle :merit of Austria. As this purpose was suspected from the -first, our market was only so far influen ce d as 1:o show a little increase of business in yarns, w ith a slight stiffening in the prices of some kinds, while in. good s the existin g dullness remained undisturbed, except' by isolated sales en the lowest terms previously submitted to. We are closing the week T dthout any improvement in any descriptions of do ch ; indeed, those articles which have been so freely taken by the Greeks are quieter than they were. The week's trans actions in yarns have been but moderate . in their aggre gate :amount, generally at the previo as quotations, only ;very partially at an advance of 'Ad. per lb., and:, this less easily obtainable now than , an Tuesday last. We regret to hear of the failure of a large general mercantile house at Ancona. The American advices state the New York cotton market as very irregular in the week ending the. 2 6th ult. ;1 but about that date the decline in prices was arrested. The latest accounts from the south report cotton as steady. ,TIIE COMMON LAW PROCEDURE ACT. 1854. It is confidently anticipated that the alteration effected in tho administration of the common law by the Cominon Law Procedure Act of 1854 will cause a very great accession of business in the superior cou r t s . Th e alterations are of the utmost importance to the auitor in the progress of an action at law. Before thethis passing of act, where it b ecame neces sary or a party to an action to obtain the contents of any eeds or documents in anywise relating to the m at rin and expensi ve p rocess o f a bill of dis question, he was comp e ll e d t o go through the t, urt of Chancery. This is n ow e ff ecte d e t e o d v i e g u t y s i n d il theat• e r y o , in the most summary and inexpensive way. It is only necessary to obtain the order of the court or of a judge. The saving of time and money in this alone is very great.. The plaintiff or defendant may, during the progress of an action, by the leave of a court or a judge, deliver interrogatories to the opposite party, which he is com pelled to answer on oath. Another very important alteration effected by this act is, that a pl a i n tiff may endorse on his w r it of sum mons that he intends to claim a writ of mandamus ; and if he succeeds in his action he will be entitled to the writ, and the defendant will be commanded to perform the contract or duty in question, and in default will be liable to an attachment. Formerly if a bill of exchange or promissory note was lost or mislaid, the party entitled to it could not maintain an action on it in consequence of his inability to produce it ; but now he may recover by giving the defendant an indemnity against the claims of any other person. Before the passing of this act when a plaintiff brought an action of detinue, and succeeded in it, the defendant might deliver up the thing detained, or pay the value ; but now he must deliver up the article itself. It often happened that the thing detained was of great impor tance to the plaintiff, and,yet he was obliged to put up with the loss. Another alteration of great importance is, that if it should be necessary, during the progress of an action, to obtain the affidavit of any person, and he were to re fuse or decline to make it, a judge at chambers is em powered to order his attendance, and to examine him on oath. It often occurred that a defendant, on being sued, was compelled to fi le a bil l in a court of equity for relief, not plead it at common l aw, t h e d e f ence equitable natu re ; b u t i n cases o f thi s ki n d t ba h se e ilinge e o oc in fo m ual o dn n law courts have under this act equitable jurisdiction. There are many other alterations effected by this act of the utmost public importance. Many persons will doubtless be induced to bring actions in the superior courts who were deterred before.
