The commercial advices from New York yesterday, although they extend over a longer period than usual, contain little of importance. There had been no mate rial variation in the stock-market, but the tendency, especially just before the departure of the steamer, was towards improvement. The demand for money was nearly as great as ever, and the rates for unquestion able paper were from 12 to 15 per cent. per annum. Still there had been no additional failures of much mag nitude, and confidence was reviving, owing to the con tinued cessation of specie shipments and the steady arrivals from California. The influence of these circum stances, however, bad not been felt to the extent antici pated, since, although the imports of specie dining the past three weeks had exceeded the exports by. 660,000/., and the Treasury had also disbursed 340,0001. in the re ddn3ption of Government securities, the increase in the aggregate amount held by the various New York banks had been only 260,000/. The absorption of the remain der was attributed chiefly to hoarding on the part of people in the interior of the State, and generally throughout the West, consequent upon the distrust created by the multitude of bank suspensions. A. statement of the affairs of Selden, Withers, and Co., Of Washington, the financial agents of the State of Vir ginia, had been published, and with the usual result of showing an enormous deficiency, instead of a surplus, as promised. The State of Virginia, it was believed, would lose about 100,0001. or 200,0001., the proceeds of bonds sole. The imports of foreign goods continued to show a great contraction, the quantities being less than a third of those at the corresponding period of laet year. The total taken during 1854 was now shown to have been only 16,000,0001. against 18,300,0001. in 1853, al though during the first months there was a considerable increase. On general points nothing of moment bad transpired. According to a statement in one of the pa pers, the Collins' Company have sold their three remain ing ships, the Baltic, Pacific, and Atlantic, and they are to pass into British hands ; but the story appears im probable. An active business was taking place in pro visions, owing to the demand for the allied armies, and one vessel was loading for the Crimea direct. In Con gress a bill, which was not likely to pass, had been brought in to pay 1,700,0001. to certain creditors of Texas, whose only hope of getting anything seemed to lie in this appeal to the Federal Government, notwith standing the unqualified, boast about the political and moral position of that State lately put forward in reply to the remarks of the Times on the attempts to raise money in London and Paris for the railway scheme, in which Mr. Perry was desirous to invest the proceeds of his testimonial. The statement of the Galipagos Islands having been bought of the Republic of Ecuador for 600,000/. rests at present apparently on a report published by the Panama Star. THE MYSTERIOUS CiSE OF POISONING AT FINCHLEY. --Yesterday the jury empanelled to inquire into the circumstances attending the death of Mr. John South gate, who is alleged to have come by his death by taking oxalic acid, in mistake for Epsom salts, re-assembled at Eppy's house, Strawberry-vale, Finchley, before Mr. Wakley, coroner.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. The Duke of Wellington, 131, Captain G. T. Gordon, will be paid wages at Spithead this day. The Princess Royal, 91, screw, Captain Lord C. Paget, was paid wages on Tuesday, at Devonport, and was to sail yesterday for Ireland, to embark troops for the Black Sea. She takes mails for Malta, Scutari, Constantinople, and the fleet and army in the Black Sea. The Nile, 91, screw, was to be taken into dock at Keyham, yesterday. The Ajax, 60, screw, C.tptain Warden, has completed swinging ship, and, with the exception of painting, could put to sea immediately. The Arethusa, 50, Captain Symonds, is being fast dismantled, and wiil be paid off into ordinary at De vonport. The Arrogant, 46, screw, Captain Yelverton, hauled into the angle dock at Portsmouth yesterday. On the water being pumped out her copper appeared to .be in beautiful condition, so far as regards her body ; but her false keel and fore foot have sustained some trifling damage, having been knocked away by the rugged points of rocks. A couple of days or less would repair all defects, if necessary. . The Geyser, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander Dew, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour to . Spithead, yes terday, and awaits sailing orders. The Dragon, 6, paddle, Captain James Wilcox, was to proceed from Portsmouth-to Pembroke. The men (about 60) which , she brought round from the Vulture received pay yesterday, and leave. The crew of the Amphion were paid down yesterday at Sheerness, and granted leave of absence. • The crew of the Desperate, were also paid down,,and granted leave. In consequence of Commander White being appointed to this ship, her crew have been turned over to hulk on board tho St. Lawrence (late Shannon). Commander White has taken up his commission to the Desperate, and hoisted his pendant. The Sprightly, Master Commander Allen, took a party of the -Victoria and Albert's crew on board the Dragon, to assist in navigating the new Royal yacht to Portsmouth. RETURN OF' LORD ELGIN. LIVERPOOL, JAN. 10. The ex-Governor-General of Canada, attended by Sir Cusack Roney and his aide-de-camp, Captain Torrens, arrived at this port in the steamer Pacific, from. Boston, yesteiday evening. • His lordship proceeded to the Adelphi Hotel, and this morning, after inspecting St. George's-hall, he met the principal members of the Ame rican Chamber of Commerce and the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, in the drawing-room of the Town-hall, for the purpose of receiving from those important com mercial bodies congratulatory addresses on his return. Among those present we observed Mr. 'T. Thornely, M.P., Mr. IV. Brown, M.P., Mr. J. A. Tobin, Mayor of Liverpool ; Mr. Oxley, and Mr. Hyslop, Chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce ; Mr. T. Bench, Chairman of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, &o. Atter a few introductory and congratulatory observa tions by the MAYOR, Mr. OXLEY presented the following address on behalf of the American Chamber ; !' To THE RIGHT HON. JAMES, EARL OF ELGIN AND KINCARDINE. ." My Lord,—We, the president and members of the American Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool, avail our telves,of the opportunity afforded by your lordship's arri val in Liverpool -go offer our hearty congratulations on your safe return io this country, andnt the same time to express the high sense we entertain of the valuable services which your lordship . has rendered to your country during the arduous period in which yen have filled the office of Governor-General of Canada. " We especially desire to express our satisfaction at the successful termination of the negotiation in which your lordship bore so distinguished a part, and which resulted in the reciprocity treaty between her Majesty's North Ame rican possessions of the United States of America. " These 'interchanges of mutual interests, which it sanctions and encourages, cannot fail to exercise a power ful influence in preserving the good understanding which now so happily exists between that enterprising people and ourselves. " We regard as a measure of sound policy the course pur sued by her Majesty's Government, is removing, all re+ striations in our tariff not arialutely.required for the due support of the public revenue, without reference to what other nations may do. Other countries, seeing the benefits arising from this wise policy, are enettraged to follow our example, towards which the North American provinces, under. the rule of your Lordship, have taken so important a step. "When exchanges between nations cease to be made with advantage to both parties, the natural limits to com mercial intercourse between them are reached. It is our privilege to lead the way in removing restrictions, so as to extend those limits as far as possible —a course which is eminently calculated to promote civilization, the spread of Christianity, and goodwill among nations. "Most sincerely do we congratulate your Lordship in ac complishing a measure which removes so many causes of dissatisfaction, and which draws closer and closer those bonds of friendship which we hope never to see disturbed between Great Britain, her colonies, and the United Stites, countries which are naturally united by language, simi larity and in many cases by l t "We fervently hope that your lordship, having now a h r e i ty strongest of o u o s usages, e relationship. a and ti o customs,uship. retired from the duties of your late important post, may, under the blessing of Divine Providence, be long spared to your faMily and friends, and that in your future career enjoy the benefit of your r c h o i u gh rit t r a y le m ut a s y iu ye h t e f r o se r many rriee. years " Signed by order and on behalf of the American Chain her of Commerce, WILLIAM OXLEY, President. "G. J. DUNHAM, Secretary. " Liverpool, Jan. 10." Mr. T. Botrcx presented the following address on be half of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce : " My Lord,—We, the Liverp o ol Chamber of Commerce, desire to avail ourselves of the opp o rtunity of your lord ship's landing in this port heartily to congratulate you on your safe return to England, and to express the favourable sense we entertain of the most important services you have rendered to Great Britain and her North American colo nies by neg otiating a reciprocity treaty between those pro vinces and the United States of America, thereby happily removing vexed questions, especially that of the fisheries, which threatened to engender unpleasant feelings in both countries, between whom it is most essential that mutual goodwill should always exist. " Considering commerce to be the harbinger of peace and civilisation, and the promoter of the best interests of man kind, it must ever afford us the utmost gratification to see the bond of amity drawn closer between Great Britain and the other nations of the earth. " We feel it is due to your lordship. not to allow you to pass through Liverpool without evincing our high estima tion of year services, and expressing a hope that you may have a long and happy life to reader your country further benefits. mer " ce Si , gned on behalf of 92 , e Ta L ou ive A r s Liverpool Chamber am p h r e e r s o ia f e C nt o . m- Lord ELGIN replied to the address as follows :—Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, I am sure that you can all un derstand, perhaps better than I can express it, how gra tifying it must be to a person who has been engaged in the service of his country for several years in those re mote parts of the empire which do not frequently attract the attention of-the British' public to receive on his re- turn to his home, and from bodies filling so high a posi tion as those who have now honoured me with these ad dresses, the expression of their approbation and esteem. Gentlemen, the tale of my administration of affairs in America is a very simple one, and very easily., told. During the period of my sojourn upon that continent, which has now extended over upward, of eight years— for it was on the sth'of January, in the year 1847, that I embarked at this port to assume the functions of Go vernor-General of British North America—l have had two objects mainly in view ; in the first place, it has been my endeavour to place the colonists whose interests were more particularly committed to my charge in such a position, politically and economically, as to leave them nothing to envy in the condition of any other people upon the earth ; and more particularly, because we must not forget the parallel that they were always establishing between themselves and their neighbours, and inoreespe . chilly between their own condition and that of their im mediate neighbours, the prosperous citizens of the United States of America. And, gentlemen, I will confess it because your kindness induces me to be frank and open self laudation, but because it is essential to historical truth thatwith I you I , must r a e a a y ll i y do it--I n m ot us s tay this with any view to say that when I undertook the task I felt that I was undertaking a task of no ordi nary difficulty and magnitude. And any of you, gentle men, will understand that this was the case if you will be pleased to refer, not only to the passing observations of travellers and the fugitive literature cf the day, but to Parliamentary and authoritative documents, such as the report of the Earl of Durham on Canadian affairs, in which the condition of the territories lying on oppo- Site sides of the boundary line between the United States and the British provinces is contrasted, or even, if more recent evidence be required, to the picture of the hope less entanglement of Canadian affairs which is presented in the recently published pamphlet of my very distin guished and immediate predecessor. Gentlemen, I felt further, that, great as the difficulties of that task might be,. it was my duty to undertake it, 'because I felt confi dent that upon no other terms and conditions could the connexion between the mother country and that important dependency be rendered either perma nent or mutually advantageous. Then, gentlemen, the other object which I had in view—and I own I thinki it is hardly inferior in importance—was this :—to place the commercial relations of the United States and the British provinces on such a footing that they should not, if possible, at any future period furnish occasions of estrangement or alienation between those two great and kindred nations who inhabit the opposite shores of the broad Atlantic, and whose continued friendship and amity is so essential to the peace and progress of mankind. (Applause.) And, gentlemen, permit me to say that I do think both of those objects have, to some extent at least; been accomplished. I think I may take it upon myself to say that nine-tenths of the people of Canada are now of opinion that their condition in con nexion with England contrasts favourably with that of any other people on the earth. ' (Renewed applause.) And I believe, also, that the intimatd commercial rela tionship which shall spring up between these two coun tries, when the reciprocity treaty comes fully into ope ration, will render Canada in future, not a barrier and a severance, but a link to unite these two kindred peoples. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I fully and cordially respond to all ithe expressions which are eontained, in these addresses, and in the eloquent observations of his worship the Mayor—to all those expressions as to the bearing of' trade upon the progress and happiness of mankind ; and I well know with what powerful effect' this great com munity has wielded that important instrument of modern civilisation. (Hear, hear.) I rem em b er th e pr id e an d gratification, as a fellow-countryman, with which I used in my earlier days to read over those eloquent passages, in which the trade of Liverpool was described, that fell upon a memorable occasion from the lips of that bril liant orator and distinguished statesman who considered it one of the proudest circumstances of his career that he was the representative of Liverpool. (Applause.) Gentlemen, I can only say that it appears to me that, although, of course, I should be the last person to say a single word that could imply an inadequate appre ciation of the advantages of national independence, still if I might venture upon such a paradox—l might say that, in these our days the greatest benefactorA of man kind are those who teach the nations and peoples of the earth that they are mutually dependent, and that no one member of that mighty aggregate which constitutes the body corporate of nations can suffer unless the other suffer with it. A most striking and instructive illustra tion of that fact is being afforded even at the present moment. There can be no doubt whatever but that there are some psrsons—though I don't suppose they are very numerous —on the other Side of the water who, when they heard that the nations of Enropo were going to war, rubbed their hands and said, ' Our time is coming. The nations of the Old World are getting into confusion, and the treasures of the earth are to be poured into our hands." But what is the result ! I believe it an indisputable fact that those calamities which aro in cident to a state of warfare — stagnation of trade, dearth of employment, bankruptcy, and misery of different de scriptions—are bearing as severely upon the United States as upon those nations which are immediately' en gaged in warfare. Gentlemen, this is a most valuable lesson, and it may be some compensation for the miser able calamities we are now enduring if that lesson b not read to the world in vain. (Applause.) The useably tlavz PePa.!,tedt THE TRANSPORT SERVICE. Fifteen to twenty tons 'of shot are to be put on board the Peninsular steam-transport, No. 172, lying off Dept ford, loaded with ammunition and clothing for the Crimea, in order to make her trim. ,The Imperador, screw-steamer, 1739 tons, lying at Liverpool, was yesterday accepted as a regular trans port. She is numbered 178. The Retriever, screw-steamer, 425 tons, , has been engaged as a regular transport, and will be ready at Deptford in about three weeks. Her number is 180. The transport Orion arrived at Cork on Sunday to take out stores to the Crimea. The following day a large quantity of warm clothing was put on board. The Black Boy, steam-transport, has sailed from Southampton, for the Crimea, with a cargo of huts and warm clothing. She has been detained for some days in consequence of not being able to complete her crew, there being at present such a scarcity of seamen. The Marley Hill, screw, iron chartered store-ship, has shipped upwards of 100 wooden huts from Ports mouth Dockyard, and will proceed instantly to the Crimea. She also takes out several cases of ordnance stores. There are about 50 huts left. Lieutenant De Visines, with 35 gunners and drivers, of the Royal Artillery, will embark on board the Bahiana steam•transport, No. 160, now lying in the river at Liverpool. MAIL FOR THE CRIMEA. A mail for the British army in the Crimea, the sick in hospital at Scutari, and the fleet in the Black Sea will be made up at the General Post-office to-morrow, and he forwarded via Marseilles. The postage, letters at the rate of 3d. the quarter ounce, and newspapers 2d. each,, must be paid in advance. ' MILITARY. Orders have, been issued by the Horse Guards for draughts of the 2d Battalion Ist Royals, 13th Light In fantry, and 92d Highlanders to be held in readiness at the bead-quarters of those depots for immediate embar kation, whether drill has been completed or not. They are to join the service companies, which are to be com pleted to eight companies of 100 rank and file each. The following officers are also to be held in readiness to join the service companies :—viz., 2d Battalion Ist Royals, lonian Islands, nine officers ; 13th Light Infantry, Gibraltar, six officers; 92d Highlanders, Gibraltar, four officers. The 811 Regiment (Prince of Wales's Volunteers), destined for Corfu to relieve the 71st for the Crimea, left Edinburgh, in divisions, on Monday and Tuesday, for Liverpool. The first division, commanded by Major Watson, left at 9.45 a.m. on Monday, for Carlisle, and the second division, with headquarters and band, left on Tuesday morning, under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Robertson. Each division was to make the journey in three days,, resting at Carlisle and Pres ton. The corps, which goes out 600 strong, will em bark at Liverpool on board the South American screw-ship Baliiana. On their departure from Edin burgh each division was accompanied by crowds to the railway station, and heartily cheered. The 82d leaves in Edinburgh Castle a skeleton depot of four companies, which, with the 54th depot from Glasgow, will do gar rison duty there. The 2d Militia (Royal Lancashire) proceeds to Glasgow instead of Edinburgh. To-day the following drafts will embark from Cork garrison on board a transport for the Crimea :-39th Regiment, 173 privates, 6 serjeants, 6 corporals, Major Tinley, Captain Tinley, Captain Northcote, Lieutenant Baird, Lieutenant Maunsell, Ensign Newport, Ensign Murray ; 14th Regiment, 160 men ; and 9th Regiment, 30 men. Last week Colonel Irwin, assistant quartermaster general, proceeded from Kilkenny, Maryborough, Wex ford, and Carlow, to take houses as temporary barracks for such portions of the militia regiments of the Queen's County, Wexford, and Carlow, as cannot be accommo dated in the respective military barracks. The head quarters of the Queen's County Militia were changed from Mountrath to Maryborough. They arrived at the latter town on Saturday, under the command of Lieut.- Colonel Dunne, M.P. ROYAL ARTILLERY. On Saturday, the 23d ult., 50 additional men belong• ing to the V troop of the Royal'Artillery, marched into Ipswich barracks, from Woolwich, with shot and shell. On Sunday last an order was received that the whole of the battery commence their march on Thursday for Woolwich, preparatory to receiving their war equip ments for the Crimea ; but on Wednesday morning an order was received from the authorities at head-quarters that the march be deferred until Thursday (to-morrow) next. It is stated that the V troop will be succeeded by Captain Marriott's company, which consists of nearly 300 men.—Essex Standard. Major, Hamilton's company, 2d battalion, Royal Ar tillery, from Kilkenny and Limerick, are to march to Ballincollig, and to be replaced by Captain Lennox's company, Ist battalion, at Limerick and Kilkenny. THE COMWSSARIA.T DEPARTMENT. On Monday evening, 47 drivers for the commissariat department, two sub-superintendents, and one superin tendent, arrived at Cork, from Dublin, under command of Commissary General Hewston, fir embarkation in the Orion transport to the Crimea. They took up quarters in Elizabeth Fort. These are the first company which has gone out ; there are several others to follow. The men are all comfortably clad with warm flannel drawers, fur caps, and stout black freize coats. Each man is pro vided with a haversack to contain his necessaries. The men are all strong, tall, healthy fellows. Kilkenny furnished 25, Tipperary 10, and the remainder were principally from Dublin. THE MILITIA. About 400 of the 2d (Liverpool) Royal Lancashire Militia, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Thomas Hesketh, Bart., left Liverpool yesterday, for Edinburgh, where they will replace the 82d in garrison duty. The remaining portion of the regiment, consist= ing of about 700 men, will be despatched on Friday. They would billet at Carlisle last night, and proceed forward this morning. One troop, commanded by Cap tain T. Littledale, has volunteered to go out to the Crimea. Mr. Littledale is one of the most prominent merchants of Liverpool, has been once Mayor, and, it will be remembered, greatly distinguished himself some years ago by gallantly bearing up to the burning wreck of the Ocean Monarch, emigrant ship, and saving the captain and upwards of 30 persons from the terrible fate which befell their companions. Lord Massareene and Ferrard has, as Lieutenant- Colonel of the Royal Antrim Artillery, appointed Messrs. M‘Gee and Co., of Belfast, vs clothiers to the corps. • A. great many of the young fellows who joined the Antrim Rifles have since volunteered into the line. On Friday 20 of them volunteered, and on Saturday others followed their example. F. O'Brien, Esq., one of the members for the King's County, has been appointed to a, captaincy in the Tip perary Militia. It is expected that the new Bank of England note will be issued to-morrow or next day for small amounts. Its appearance, at a hasty glance, is very little different from that of the old note, although upon examination its great superiority is very striking, both as regards clearness of execution and design, and the watermark of the paper. A YOUNG LADY'S CHRISTUAS-BOX FOR HER BROTHER AT SEBASTOPOL.—" I have sent 1 frying-pan, 4 gridirons, 4 lanterns, filled with a stone of candles ; a stone of soap, wrapped in linen ; clasp knives, 8 yards of tar paulin, lucifer matches, 48 pipes, packed in salt, which may be eaten with 120 potatoes, wrapped in tracts ; 12 bottles of ink, 30 pens, lib. of good tobacco, 12 1 iron spoons, 25 pair of Seeks, 25 comforters, 8 night caps, 50 pair of muffetees, 5 fur neckties, 20 flannel cho lera belts, 3 jerseys, paper, 3 flannel jackets, 2 pocket handkerchiefs, 4 yards of flannel, 8 chest warmers, 2 housewives, 200 needles, 600 pins, lib. of thread, and 488 buttons." This is pretty well for the first instal ment."--Essex Oartdord. THE PAPACY IN PIEDMOMT AND SARDINIA. While the Church of Rome is putting forward pre tensions such as may remind us of the days of Hilde brand or Innocent 111., and settling, by a simple act of assumed authority, a controversy which dates front the scholastic era of the middle ages, she is menaced nearer home with . a danger which all her art and all her in trigdes will Scarcely suffice to avert. Considering the rapid and simultaneous progress which the reformed opinions made in so many parts of Europe, it is remark able that they should have taken so little hold on the soil of Italy, where the abuses of the Church were most rife and most notorious, and where, by a series of satiri cal writers, from Dante and Boccaccio downwards, they were most completely and thoroughly exposed. There were circumstances, too, in the then condition of that country— broken up into a number of small States, each warring and intriguing against the other—which might seen► not unfavourable to the espousal of the. new ideas by princes seeking protection against' a powerful neigh bour, and anxious for new strength, from whatever quar ter it might be gathered. The failure of the Reforma tion in Italy is probably to be attributed to the circum- - - . s t a nce that, owing to the scandalous state of the . —•- Papacy and the notorious corruption of the Church, it broke out prematurely, and was extinguished before it had time to spread t• other countries. Had the move ment of Savonarola been contemporaneous with that of Luther, who can say low large a portion of the Italian peninsula—nay, of the patrimony of the Church itself— might have been snatched from the grasp •f the Court of Rome? But, as it had been with the Albigenses in the thirteenth and the Lollards and Hussites in the fifteenth century, so it was with the Italian Protestants. The Reformation was quenched in the blood of the first Re formers, and those people who were the first to rise against the tyranny of Rome have been unable up to the present day to cast her yoke from off their necks. It is, therefore, with no common interest that we wit ness in the constitutional country of Piedmont the pro gress of a contest which that little State is carrying on with a brave and steady resolution against the domi neering power of the Papacy. The able men into whose hands the conduct of the first attempt at rational and moderate freedom which has been made in Italy since the fall of the Republic of Florence has fallen seem fully to have apprehended the truth, taught no less by reason than by history, that the predominant influence of_ the Church of Rome is inconsistent with the permanence of liberal and enlightened institutions. 'We do not mean to say that countries professing the Catholic religion have not at different times possessed some share of free dom, but that such freedom is inconsistent with the active interference of the Court of Rome in the affairs of the national Church. It is very hard for institutions whose essence is free dom and publicity to co-exist with the dark and despotic influence which the confessor exercises over his penitent; but this difficulty becomes an impossibility if the con fessor, instead of being actuated by the feelings of a citizen, is the mere servant and emissary of a foreign Power. Had the tendencies of the King of Piedmont been less consistently and uniformly unconstitutional he would have found, as so many other princes have found, in Rome an ardent and unscrupulous ally, ready to over power the wisdom and patriotism of the middle and upper classes by an appeal to the fanatical ignorance of the lowest of the people ; but as a constitutional King, Vic tor Emmanuel has nothing to hope from Rome, and from this acknowledged incompatibility of interests rather than any wish ou his part to precipitate a rupture have arisen those contests with the Papacy which have dis turbed the commencement of his otherwise calm and prosperous reign. The point at which the quarrel has arrived is not one of doctrine, but of internal policy. The question involved is, whether the Government of Piedmont has the right claimed by every independent State to regulate the ownership and distribution of pro perty within its own dominions, or whether that right is to be exercised only with the allowance and subject to the veto of a foreign Power. This is no insignificant question, but one going to the root, not only of internal liberty, but of external inde pendence. Sardinia is, in fact, passing through ;that stage of her history which corresponds with the period of our own when the Government, not assuredly with out the consent and approbation of the hest and wisest in the nation, broke up the establishments of monasteries accumulated by the superstition and avarice of 700 years, a change not necessarily implying a complete reformation of doctrine, but certainly an indispens able step towards it. We do not presume to judge how far the existence of monasteries in Piedmont may have impeded the accumulation of wealth and cursed the land with the evils of pauperism and indolence ; but we cannot be wrong in thinking that this is a question which the Piedinontese Parliament ought to be allowed to decade without the interference of any foreign priest or potentate, and in this conviction we heartily wish success to their labours. The struggle must needs be an arduous one. In addition to the in fluence of large and wealthy corporations contending fur their very existence, the fanatical spirit of the moun taineers whe people the high valleys of SavoY and the southern side of the Alps is sure to be stimulated against the Government. From the Republican party in Pied mont, at least from so much of it as is under the control of Mazzini, the Government of the King has little but hostility to expect. They hate constitutional monarchy even mom than despotism, and have ever been ready to plot against the only State in Italy which respects per sonal freedom, administers justice with impartiality, and allows free and fair discussion on all matters of public interest. From France, of course, whatever support they may receive on other matters, they have on this none to expect, and Austria must regard with the utmost disapprobation a policy which stands out in such marked contradistinction to her own. When we see these things we are at a lOse which to admire most, the clear discernment which has enabled the statesmen of Sardinia to discern the absolute neces sity for vindicating, at whatever risk, the indepen dekce of the newly-established monarchy from the interference and dictation of the Roman Pontiff, the boldness with which they have entered on a struggle so arduous in itself, so liable to misrepresentation, and so beret by powerful and opposing influences, or the discre tion with which they have gone steadily forward, and without heat or violence matured the measures they deemed necessary for the public safety. Let them be assured that in this great crisis of their destiny, in which they are contending for the perpetua tion of their dearly-won constitutional privileges, while asserting their independence of foreign dictation, and in which also they are virtually fighting the battle of all Italy, whose future destiny is involved in the fate of the Sardinian monarchy, they carry with them the hearty sympathy of the English nation, and of the true friends of constitutional freedom all over the world. It is doubly pleasing to us togive utterance to this sentiment, because we are aware that expressions of English sympathy are not merely a relief to our feelings, but a powerful stimu lus and encouragement to exertion and perseverance. It is natural that the country whose institutions have been modelled on our own, hitherto with such happy results, should feel not indifferent to our approbation. Pied mont is now passing through that state of probation from which no nation in its pursuit of freedom can hope to be exempt. Let her go on and prosper but a few years longer, and we are convinced there is reserved for her a position which will more than reward her for all her exertions and sacrifices.—Times. AMERICAN GROUNDS FOR PRESERVING FRIENDLY RELATIONS WITH RUSSIA. (Prom the New York _Herald of December 27.) The British press has been loud in its abuse of "Ame rica siding with Russia." As republicans, we have been accused of sympathising with despotism, and enjoying its success over the so-called liberal powers of Europe. But is it so ? We have certainly expressed our con viction that Russia must prove victorious in the end. We have also pointed out the advantages to be derived from maintaining peaceful relations with that empire, but in all this we have done no more than give an opi nion, and reciprocate, in a measure, the kindly feel ings extended towards us by the Czar. From the supre macy of the allies we have much to dread—for war, to a commercial and progressive nation like ours, may reasonably be dreaded—while, on the other hand, from the supremacy of Russia we have much to expect. By the latter the right hand of fellowship has been held out to us, and we see no reason to refuse • it, though its government be despotic, and its Empe ror the enemy of our own immediate rival. Rus sia seems, as it were, to have just sprung into life, and is no doubt advancing fast along the path of greatness. We have now the opportunity of esta blishing with her a close commercial intercourse, which will be greatly beneficial to both countries, and, as we hope, be the means of spreading for thefirst time a liberal influence among her people. With her des potism we do not sympathise, and with the cause of the present quarrel we have nothing to do ; but it is incompatible with our republicanism, and far less with. our material interests, to destroy the friendly feelings at present existing between us. Let us illustrate this last assertion with a few facts. At the present moment the earnest desire of the Czar is to connect by telegraph and railroad all the im portant points of his vast dominions. Hence the faci lities afforded to Mr. Shaffner, who lately visited St. Petersburg, to settle preliminaries d and otherwise further acing a girle round tho the grand enterprise of , e pl earth." It is intended to traverse the Russian empire from the capital to Sitka, and the line, throughout, will run south of 60 degrees, with the exception of a small portion, which diverges north, for the purpose of reaching Yatousk, on the river Lena. It has also been de termined to build 2,300 miles of railway—the principal road being from Moscow to Odessa. Iron is required for this—the native metal being too soft—and to procure it (the trade with England being stopped) the Czar must n ecessarily turn to America. Again, he has seen the destruction caused among his troops by the screw ships of the allied fleet in the Cri mea. Both at Eupatoria and the Alma, the English vessels as they lay along the coast, beyond the range of the enemy's guns, did fearful damage with rocket and bomb shell.

The Russian pine is not to be compared to Great Britain's oaken walls, and the Czar must tu rn to America for timber and for ships. In working out her destiny Russia will, therefore, assist America in realising her own. Nicholas has already shown not only a willingness, but an eagerness to im port American enterprise into his empire, and neither our interests nor those of the republican principles we uphold require us to draw back. We know that a wide field has been opened to physicians, engi eineers, mechanics, and manufacturers from the United States ; and who can foresee all the nume• rous benefits that will be derived from such a con nection, to the furtherance of liberalism in one country, and the progress of commerce iu both ? Nor is this all. We noticed some time since that the Rus sian boundary in Asia had lately been extended to the [liver Amour, which empties itself into the North Paci fic Ocean. This new accession of territory, am large as the whale of the New England States, was at first ne glected as unprofitable. But it was subsequently found to be a splendid tea country, and now the Czar wishes to throw it open to American trade. Protected by the Island of Sagalin from the ice which flows from the Sea of Okhotsk, the mouth of the Amour—navigable for four hundred miles—is open during the whole year. To the north is the fur region of Kamtschatka, and the advan tages of trade here are scarcely inferior to those recently acquired by the opening of Japan. Are we, then, to throw away such benefits as these for an empty shadow ? Surely not. Our admiration may be excited in favour of the heroes who toil and bleed and die in their country's cause on the frozen plains of the Crimea. As men, our sympathies may be espe cially roused for those whose Anglo-Saxon names sound familiar in our ears. God forbid that we should fail in doing every justice to the enduring courage of that race from which we ourselves have sprung. Bat with the cause of the war we have no concern ; and with the re sult. it is to our advantage that Russia should preserve the integrity of her empire, and drive back her opponents. SINGULAR RESULTS OR RECENT OPE RATIC SPECULATIONS IN AMERICA. (From the New York herald, of Dec. 27.) During the past six months we have been called upon to record the arrival of three musical expeditions from Europe. The first was the Italian Opera Company, with Grisi and Mario, under Mr. Hackett ; the second was the Pyne and Harrison English Opera Company, under Mr. Barry, and the last was a sort of Anglo- French troupe, under Mr. Niblo. We have no doubt that each of these parties expected to reach the same pitch of success as that achieved by Jenny Lind, whose path from city to city, and from town to town, was paved with gold. But things have changed since Jenny Lind's time. Those halcyon days will come no more. There has been a revulsion of popu lar feeling in musical as well as other matters. In fact, in this country, we are always going through some sort of a revolution in politics, society, business, music, fashion, and everything else. The times have become very hard lately, and there is not much of a rush for seats at the opera, kid gloves, bouquets, and attendant ladies. The probable results of the late musical speculations will be extremely curious, and will go far to show the European artists what they must expect in America. The first of these results is the entire and complete failure of Grisi and Mario—those great artists whom all Europe was delighted to honour. We understand that Grisi and Mario are very much disgusted with this glo rious country and with the indifference that is manifested by the people, who should, as they think, rally to their support. They are desolate—nobody comes to hear them—nobody cares anything about them—and they are preparing to leave the country, in which they have failed to make a profitable sensation. The barbarians of the Fifth avenue will not pay for Grisi's notes ; and even Mario's title of Marquis of something or other fails to bring out the Mrs. Potiphars in sufficient numbers to pay the Academy's expenses. The enchanting Miss Coutts alone sticks to him. In this respect it must be acknowledged that our mu sical people—our first circles, or our cod-fish aristocracy, are utterly destitute of taste, and Grisi and Mario will go back to Europe circulating the utter ignorance of the higher classes of this country, and thus put an end to the contemptible cant which we have hoard of the ap preciation of high art by the wealthy parvenues of New York. Another singular result of the musical season is found in the remarkable fact that of the three companies the English opera troupe—known as the Pyne and Harrison troupe—is the only one that has the remotest chance of inakir any money. This company MITI() here entirely unheralded—their principal singers had never been heard of on this side of the Atlantic, and although they have been for the last three or four years at the head of their profession in England, they were altogether unknown to the New York public. They never had a lawsuit, as Jenny Lind did—they never ran away, breaking an engagement, and making a tremendous excitement—they never committed a faux pea, the delicate details of which were eagerly snapped up by voracious penny-a-liners, and duly digested as a portion of the dear public's 'breakfast. Of course they were never heard of ! Notwithstanding all these drawbacks, we find that the Pyne and Harrison troupe have thus far, in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, achieved a degree of success unprecedented since the furore created by the Woods. RThe music of their English operas goes direct to the heart, aid brings out the people of the great mid dle class who do not affect to be pleased with that which they cannot understand, and who are always ready to pay for that which pleases, excites, refines, and amuses them. This is the true secret of the success of the Pyne and Harrison troupe--a success which is owing to the merit of the principal singers, and the popular character of the music which they give. But let all the European artists who intend continr , here with the expectation of receiving the applause, the support and the dollars of the cod-fish aristocracy take due notice of this fact. No matter how great they may be in their particular role, they cannot hope to be suc cessful unless they are notorious for some little faux pas —some elopement—some passage-at-arms with a um na,er—some great sensation created by them outside of professional' triumphs. The single exception of the Pyne and Harrison troupe owes its existence to circumstances which will not probably occur again, and all great ec centric artists despise the people and devote their talents to the amusement of the aristocracy. Now our aristo cracy pays for notoriety—not talent ; and managers know very well that the article of modest merit is not one of those commodities which are precious on account of their rarity. The European artists have now the benefit of our ex perience, gratis. Let them beware how they neglect such good counsel. LETTERS FOR THE TRANSPORT SER- E IN TURKEY AND THE BLACK SEA.

Douglas deems it an act of justice to Vice• Admiral Sir Charles Napier to tender to the editor of The Sun the accompanying paper, extracted from the new edition of the "Naval Gunnery," on the attack of Bomarsund : • "The capture and destruction of Domarsund, with little loss, and in a very short time, by the skilful man ner in which the military and naval forces co-operated with each other in those operations, are satisfactory illustrations—may they prove happy omens !—of the success which, as stated in Art. 332, p. 347, and Art. 332 c., p. 335.* will usually attend all such well-con certed undertakings. The forts were breached, and the fortress reduced to the necessity of surrendering, by a few powerful solid-shot guns landed from the ships of the combined fleet. Shell-guns and hollow shot could not have effected this, whether fired from the land or from ships' batteries. It is no disparagement to the naval forces to assert that they alone could not have de molished the defences of Bemarsund in so short a time, and not without much damage to the shins. The firing of shot and shells from the French and English ships at long ranges caused no serious iejury ; but the breaching of the forts, and the skilful establishment of a breaching batter:,- within 400 yards of the rear of the fortress ren dered all further resistance vain. General Jones states, in his official despatch, that the interior of the place showed that the fire of the ships did such trifling in• jury, that the governor with so strong a garrison in well-casernated work, and without a breach having been formed, ought not to have surrendered ; but the batteries, armed with 32-pounder British guns, blan k ; ready to open, and the forts destroyed, Domarsund was no longer defensible. The British Admiral exer cisecla wise discretion in not ex p os i ng th e s hip s o f th e combined fleet to the severe damage they would have sus tained by recklessly advancing under the fire of the enemy's seaward batteries ; and, having co n d uc t e d w ith admirable skill the whole fleet through the intricacies of the channels leading to the point of attack, and arranged with his gallant Allies and associatestheplanofaonpdertao tions, he did right to leave to the l an d b atter i es to do what they so well and skilfully accomplished, keep the fleet in reserve, upon the principle that the sea• ward fronts of such forts being always thicker and stronger than the works, if any, which enclose them in the rear, should never be attacked in front if by any means they can be turned and battered in the reverse. Thus there can be no question that the place was taken by the land attack under Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers and the skilful engineers General Harry Jones and Gene ral Niel, and by means so effectual that without any other assistance from the naval forces than the loan of a few of their solid shot guns, and that of investing the place by sea, to prevent succours from being thrown in, Bomar sund must have fallin. Authentic information, for the accuracy of which the author vouches, enables him to state that, with respect to the effects of the solid shot on the granite with which the walls were faced, the French guns made no impression on the blocks when they were struck perpeadieularly in the middle of their faces ; nor did the shot fired from the more powerful 32-pounder British guns split the granite when so struck ; but when the blocks were hit by the latter near the edge, or on a joint of the masonry, theyiwere displaced, the joints penetrated, the wall shaken ; and this not being backed with solid masonry, but filled in with rubble, the mass was thrown down and a practicable breach formed. This successful operation is very generally but erroneously stated to have been effected by the fire of the ships, and is even strongly held up as a proof of what ships can do and ought to attempt alone elsewhere. But the results of the experimental firing at the remnant of the fort, which, unless the previous firing of the ships during the attack was perfectly harmless, must have been somewhat damaged, and moreover shaken by the blowing up of the contiguous portions, do not warrant this conclusion, even should the attacking ships be permitted, like the Edinburgh, to take up, quietly and coolly, positions within 500 yards, and then de liberately commence and continue their firing, with out being fired at ! (Pp. 35, 338, at top.) The firing of the Edinburgh at 1,060 yards was unsatisfac tory. 390 shot and shells were fired from the largest and most powerful guns in the British navy (viz., from the Lancaster gun of 95 cwt., with an elongated shell of 1001 h. ; from 68-pounders of 95 cwt., and 32-pounders of 56 cwt., solid shot guns ; from 10-inch shell guns of 84 cwt., with hollow shot of 841 b. ; and 8-inch shell guns of 65 cwt. and 60 cwt., with hollow shot of 561 b.), but did little injury to the work. At 480 yards 250 shot, shells, and hollow shot were fired ; a small breach was formed in the facing of the outer wall, of extremely bad masonry, and considerable damage (lone to the embrasures and other portions of the wall ; but no decisive result was obtained, no practicable breach formed by which the work might be assaulted, taken, and effectually destroyed (p. 353, line 12), although 640 shot and shells (40,0001 b of metal) were fired into the place, first at 1,060 yards, and then at 480 yards. Several casemates had fallen in, the embrasures not having been mado high enough to admit ' of giving the guns sufficient elevation for very distant firing, in attempting which the keystones were actually blown out, the casemates ruined, and their guns rendered useless. The Lancaster shells, of which such high expectations were entertained, failed signally in precision of fire, even at 480 yards, and evidently cannot be depended upon, even when fired from a large and steady ship. (Pp. 358-363.) What, then, can be ex pected from those guns and projectiles, at 5,000 yards, when fired from the side of a crank despatch gunboat 1 (P. 363.) Shells, whether percussion or time-fused, and hollow shot broke on striking the granite (pp. 334, 345) , and it was found that percussion shells could be of no use in such a case (p. 296, line 11 ; p. 313, line 20), whereas time-fused shells might produce their effects upon the persound in the interior of the fort, by enter. • • • semate through the embrasure and then explod lag a ca. . explod ing. It is of very great importance that the facts of the case should be rightly understood, lest wrong notions should induce the attack of more formidable places which do not admit of military co-operation, with ships alone; and which the author repeats, now more confi dently than ever, would be a desperate and perilous ex periment." * In tho articles to which theso figures refer, these results are fully predicated. THE CASE OF ARCHDEACON DENISON. VERDICT OF THE COMMISSIONERS. CLEVEDON, Wednesday.—The Commission in this in. quiry resumed its sittings this afternoon at Wason's Royal Hotel, Clevedon. The attendance was by no means so numerous as on the preceding days. • Dr. Haggard having stated that the Commissioners were now prepared to declare their opinion, Bishop Carr read the following : The Commissioners, after due consideration of the de positions taken before them, and of certain printed ser mons numbered 1,2, and 3, and of the documents an. flexed, declare their unanimous opinion. First, that as respects the preaching and publication, or making known and public the above sermons by the Ven. the Archdeacon of Taunton within the diocese of Bath and Wells, there are sufficient prima facie grounds for instituting further proceedings. Secondly, the Commissioners having carefully ex amined the aforesaid sermons and the charges specified in this commission, declare their unanimous opinion that the proposition of the ven. archdeacon, that to all who come to the Lord's Table, and to those who eat and drink worthily, and to those whO eat and drink un worthily, the body and blood of Christ are given ; and that by all who come to the Lord's Table, by those who eat and drink worthily, and by those who eat and drink unworthily, the body and blood of Christ are received, is directly contrary or repugnant to the doctrine of the Church of England, and especially to the articles of re ligion ; and that the doctrines as set forth in the afore. said sermons with reference to the real presence of the holy eucharist, are unsupported by the articles in their literal and grammatical sense, are contrary to the doc trines and teaching of the Church of England, and have a very dangerous tendency. The Commissioners are therefore of opinion—secondly, that there is sufficient prima facie ground for institut ing further proceedings. The Commissioners at the same time think it due to the venerable the archdeacon to state that, in the ser mons under consideration, he has expressed his full assent and consent to the articles of religion, and that he has, ex anirao, condemned the doctrines of the Church of Rome, and particularly of the Roman doctrine of transubstantion. Bishop Carr added that the commissioners having fully considered the subject, and now delivered their opinion, begged to state that the commission was now c l os ed, and that copies of their decision would be given to either party if they should wish it, on application to Mr. George Burchell, of Doctors'-cummons, who offi ciated as registrar during the inquiry. Dr. Phillimore was not in attendance to-day, being, we were informed, engaged in the Admiralty Court. Dr. Bay ford was present, on the part of the promoter of the suit. The whole proceedings were concluded in less than a quarter of an hour. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, JAN. 10.
