Efforts are at length being made by the supreme Parliament of United Germany to consolidate the nationality of Fatherland. It has been resolved, after mature deliberation, to replace the present fugitive Government by a permanent system of administra tion. And to accomplish this the more effectually the Confederate Representatives are resolved to repose the responsibility of the conservation of Germany in the hands of an Imperial chieftain. The supplemental problems remaining to be solved are two, and those two are the following :—First, whether this para mount dignity shall be elective, or descend through a single dynasty according to the principles of hereditary succession ? And, secondly, who is to be chosen as the new German Emperor ? A thousand rumours are of course already afloat as to the ultimate decision upon these two questions—questions involving the fortunes not of one but of forty states, not of one but of in numerable generations. While the members of the Arch-Diet are de bating upon the Supremacy Problem in the Ca thedral Church at Fr ankfort-on-the -Maine, the Prussian orders Knights of the Red Eagle and of the Black Eagle, of the I ron C ross, of the Order of Merit, and of the Order of St. John— have been feasting in the White Hall at Ber lin, below the Dais of their SOVEREIGN. On the 18th instant, EISENSTUCK of Saxony , B ARTH of Kaufbeu ern, and LAssAuLx of M unich; were pleading from the tribune of the Imperial Par liament, the one in favour of an hereditary Emperor, the other in favour of an elective Emperor, and the third in favour of the project for investing FRANCIS Jo• "" of Austria with the Imperial dignity rather than of elevating to that illustrious office FREDERICK WILLIAM of Prus-ia. On the 18th instant, simulta neously with the utterance of these sentiments, the latter SOVEREIG N Was being greeted with the acclarna tions of the knight s of the Prussian monarchy—that day being the one hundred and fifty-eighth anniver sary of the occasion when the head of the house of Hohenzollern was first crowned with the regal diadem. To instituted p t a y rti t c h ip e at G e reaitn the a n nual celebration FRE DERICK, the Court, which had hitherto been slinking in the seclusion of Sans Souci, hastened from Char lottenburg to the capital, where the MONARC:II pre sented himself before the assembled magnates and celebrities of his dominion. Notwithstanding the opposition which has already raised its head at Frank fort against the scheme of the creatures of King FREDERICK WILLIAM to place within his grasp the imperial sceptre, the latter are sanguine as to the ulterior success of their machinations. They anti cipate the arrival of the moment when the Austrian Arch,luke Tour; shall resign his perishable authority into the clutches of the Prussian King FREDERICK WILLIAM; and when not only the living representative of the house of Hohenzollern, but the entire ; dynasty shall be proclaimed the recipients of the allegiance of United Germany. Bearing in bitter recollection the treacheries of their I.IIONARCII, we doubt not but that the true Prussians, the Prussians who love the common fatherland beyond the particular section of it in which they may happen to have been born, will yearn for the rejection of the auit of their lialic* and for the preference of the claims of the Austrian EMPEROR by the Constitutional Parliament. Viewing this must difficult question dispassionately we are satisfied that the safest course that could pos sibly be adopted, under existing circumstances, by the national representatives would be the choice of FRANCIS JOSEPH instead of FREDERICK WILLIAM, and by the nomination of the former as the elective instead of the hereditary Emperor of Germany. The Sovereign of Prussia has so repeatedly, and so very recently, re , vealed his insincerity to the democratic cause—he has disclosed his secret prejudice in favour of absolute government—and has done this with such a flagrant disregard to the aspirations of his people, as well as to the general hopes of the forty independent princi palities—that we should profoundly regret to see the destinies of Germany entrusted to his keeping. With the Emperor FRANCIS JOSEPH it is diffe rent. His youth and his intelligence are in a great measure guarantees for his faithfulness, for as yet he has not been hardened into a despot by the reiterations of crime against the multitude. With the inexperience of youth he must be presumed to possess much of its ingenuousness ; and we cannot but think that a sentiment of gratitude to the move ment which would invest him with imperial authority over such vast and magnificent territories as the whole of United Germany would dispose him to look with complacency and even with encouragement upon the glorious cause of Democracy. Unhappily, there appears as yet to be no • alternative beyond the rulers of Prussia and Austria, and to secure the lesser peril we should certainly prefer witnessing the election of the :youthful descendant of RODOLPH. It would be erroneous to imagine that the Supre macy Question now mooted in the Central Diet at .Frankfort is the abrupt expression of a new and hitherto unheard-of ambition on the part of the German populace. It is directly otherwise. The wish now articulated by the principal orators of the Parliament has long been germinating in the hearts of the million. In a German Emperor the multitude recognise the best security for the maintenance of a common nationality. To appoint a mere Vicegerent or Vicar as Lord Paramount over Emperor, Kings, and Princes, would be an anomaly so strangely conspicuous as to render its ulti mate abandonment inevitable. To inaugu rate, on the other hand, a species of Republican or Democratic Government as the power presiding over these heterogeneous potentates would be a sheer absurdity leading to perpetual embarrassment. No Republican administration could be installed in the once Imperial city of Frankfort until after the depo sition of the different chiefs of the respective German principalities. An Emperor is consequently recog nised as the only resource of all the aspirants for the consolidation of the nationality of Fatherland. And to the judgment of an enormous mass of the popula tion an elective Emperor appears preferable to an hereditary Emperor. The former, it must be acknowledged, would be more in accordance with the character of the age, and would for all practical purposes appear to combine the respective advantages of the Monarchical and the Republican institution. As Emperor, the newly-appointed chief of Germany would be enabled to preside with a cer tain grace and consistency over the heads of his brother princes, while as the spontaneously elected representative of the German population he would be raised to power on as democratic a buckler as that which elevated President BONAPARTE at Paris, or as that which elevated President TAYLOR at Washing ton. With the fate of the posterity of forty princi palities dependent on their decision, the national re presentatives in the Central Parliament at Frankfort cannot act with a caution too deliberate. No persons can be found with sufficient hardihood to defend directly the present extravagant expendi- ture of the nation, or to . contend that our rulers are justified in contracting new debts, and increasing the public burdens, during a time of profound peace and tranquillity. The advantages of economy and re trenchment are admitted on every side. The good old times, when corruption and jobbery could be practised without concealment, when the voice of public opinion could be slighted and despised, have long since passed away. The demand for practical and efficient reforms is apparently universal. A closer examination will, however, show that in too many instances the cry is adopted rather as a specious pretext than a sober reality. It is well known that di ect opposition would only provoke the indignation of the people, and excite the nation to more determined efforts to abolish acknowledged abuses. A more devious and subtle course becomes expedient. Although reforms generally are advocated, every practical effort to obtain them is encoun tered with the most determined resistance. The weapons of obloquy and ridicule are unsparingly re sorted to. In place of fairly replying to the argu ments advanced by real practical reformers, some collateral issue is selected, not going to the merits of the case. The simple and straightforward assertion that the expenditure on our naval, military, and ordnance establishments is far beyond that required for the national honour and the national safety, is met with a denial that these establishments are so kept up because their higher ranks afford places and emoluments for men who have family connexions and family interest. A similar course is pursued on every other point. It is admitted that matters can • not remain in their present condition, that great and comprehensive reforms are essential ; but the mo ment any definite plan is submitted, any practical suggestions offered, the propositions are sneered at, and the parties by whom these pro positions are brought forward are held up to public odium and contempt. Such was the line of conduct adopted towards the Anti-Corn-law League, when it first sprung into existence, and be fore the great majority of the people had arrayed themselves under the free-trade banners, and pro claimed their hostility to every species of monopoly. Such is the treatment which the Liverpool Financial Reform Association is now receiving at the hands of quasi Reformers. The extraordinary success that has hitherto at tended the lab urn of the association, the popular feel ing evoked by the strange revelations that have been made, have struck terror into the hearts of the supporters of the present system. Something must be done, and that speedily, to change the current, to divert the public attention into another channel. The matters brought forward cannot be disregarded. The pro ceedings of the association cannot be passed sub si lentio, without notice or comment. Accordingly, the assertions of its members are distorted, and their mo tives misrepresented ; their statements are received with doubt and mistrust. If a total silence had been maintained on the subject of the National Debt we could readily conceive how freely and unsparingly the charge of intending to break faith with the public creditor would be applied. Then, indeed, these gentle men would have been assailed with the most oppro brious epithets—swindlers and repudiators would, perhaps, be the mildest terms. Unfortunately, how ever, they protest against its being supposed, even for a single moment, that they harbour any such intention Although fully sensible of the enormous burdens im posed upon the nation by the folly, perhaps, something worse, of those by whom the obligations were origi nally contracted, they still declare their willingness to provide for the payments. Strange and incompre hensible as it may appear, exceptions are taken even ' to these statements. Their assertions are supposed to afford reasonable grounds of suspicion that something totally the reverse ofwha“suth per asb flu e u e o ns s v tat eem e h dis e c n o c n e nteanid plated—we are told that o f asseveration do not redundant copiousness necessarily carry conviction," and it is asked "might it not be in better taste for our Financial Reformers to drop this subject altogether, and let people judge of their intentions towards the public creditor by the general tenor of their language, and the obvious tendency of their act ?" What do these critics expect or desire ? Is it that the association should declare that Eight Hundred Millions sterling is a mere bagatelle, which should not be even casually alluded to, that the burden which paralyses the industry of the nation, and presses with fearful weight on the labouring classes, is a matter to be rejoiced at? Must it not even be hinted that our predecessors were not exactly justified in transferring the charges from their own shoulders to those of their unfortunate descendants. Must it be kept totally concealed from the people that the debt was contracted in a depreciated currency, that only sixty or seventy pounds sterling was actually advanced for every one hundred pounds inscribed in the national ledger, and that even these sums were paid in incon vertible notes, at a period when every golden guinea commanded a premium of 7s. or Bs., it not more. All those ugly facts must be suppressed, or if alluded to, it is manifest that there must be a desire to apply the sponge and wipe away the liability. There is something of a conscious feeling in all this, as if the subject would not bear the light. Why should it be supposed that the tendency of such observations is to lead to the expunging of the debt unless the debt ought to be expunged ? The Finan cial Reformers are sensible of the iniquities that have been perpetrated ; but they still, through a feeling of chivalrous honour, are satisfied to liquidate the liabili ties, however oppressive—and that is all that can be alleged against them. _ _ _ The leaders of the association will not, however, be deterred from persevering in the course on which they have entered by such proceedings. A glorious path lies before them from which they will not be diverted. The masses are with them; they are sustained in their efforts by the voice of public opinion, and they will never slacken their exertions until their just de mands have been fully recognised and conceded by the Legislature. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. M. BOULAY DE LA MEURTHE has been elected Vice-President of the Republic. He was supported by the club of the Beaux Arts, composed of the friends of General CAVAIGNAC; by the club of the Rue de Poitiers, and by that of the Palais National. It was thought that M. VIVIEN would have been elected; indeed, it is said, that the Ministers, in order to force M. VIVIEN on the Assembly, had nominated as his co-candidates, M. BOULAY DE LA MEURTHE and General BARAGUAY D'IIILLIERS, because they were considered the men the least likely to be agreeable to the Assembly. General BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS is a Legitimatist, and therefore he was from the first clearly out of the question. M. VIVIEN was, it is ;true, one of the Ministers of General CAVAIGNAC, but M. VIVIEN is known to be a rabid Orleanist, and is the friend of MM. rrNIERS, MOLE, and the reactionary members of the Rue de Poitiers' Club, who are intriguing to betray the PRESIDENT and escamoter the Republic. M. BOULAY DE LA MEURTHE although no Republican, is a sincere Bonapartist, and is therefore the most un likely man in the world to intrigue for either an Orleanist or a Legitimatist restoration. The As sembly has, therefore, done right in choosing the most honest of the three men presented to it, and in paying the PRESIDENT the compliment of electing the first of the candidates on his list, who is moreover his intimate personal friend. The election took place on Saturday. The numbers were— M. Boulay de la Meurthe M. Vivien.. General Baraguay d'Hilliers „ . The Journal des Debats is extremely severe on the Government and on the PRESIDENT for having pre• rented such a ridiculous list of candidates. ”We do not like," says the Journal des Debats, " to trifle with the institutions of our country, not even with those of which we ourselves may not approve." In speaking of the election itself, the Debats says that all the candidates w ere so bad, that the selection of any of them could not give it pleasure, and that the choice of M. BOULAY DE LA MEURTIIE does not give it pain. The Siecle of Saturday gives vent to its indignation against the Ministry for having proposed such an absurd list of candidates ; and the Siecle of Sunday is equally indignant w ith the Assembly for having chosen M. BOULAY DE LA MEURTRE, and accounts for his election after the following manner : "Some," says the Siecle, " were influenced by party calculations, and others by motives of spite or anger. The Assembly only forgot one thing—that, for the sta bility of Republican institutions, as well as for its own honour, the Assembly was bound to make the choice which it considered the best. But, after the explosion of murmurs and hilarity which, perhaps, unjustly marked the sitting of Thursday, France will have some difficulty in understanding the now irrevocable decision of the As sembly. The votes of spite, the little acts of chicanery against the Government, the inadmissible conclusions which M. Grevy has been employed to present, the im potence into which the majority has fallen, and which prevents it from giving an imposing character to its acts or real utility to its labours, all show that there is only one thing to be done, and that is to hasten the period of the dissolution." The 1v ational Assembly on Saturday, having elected the Vice President of the 12Pputtlio, prooooclorl to dig-- cuss the project of law which convokes the High Court of the Nation at Bourges, for the trial of the persons implicated in the affair of the 15th of May. The debate was cotmnenced by M. EUGENE RASPAIL (the nephew of the prisoner at Vincennes), who denied that the Assembly had the right to send the affair of the 15th of May before the High Court of the Nation. The accused, he contended, could only be sent before a jury, and that jury a Parisian one. He thought that convoking the Court at Bourges showed, at the same time, stupidity on the part of the Government, enmity to the accused, and suspi cion of the population of Paris. M. RASPAIL con. eluded by saying that he would be guarantee for the tranquillity of Paris on the occasion of the trials ; and he advanced, as the clearest proof that could be given of the moderation of the Parisians, the patience with which they bore the presence of the . present Ministers in power. M. BONJEAN reminded the House that, at the time of the debate on the Constitution, one of the Montag nards had presented an amendment to the effect that the High Court of Justice should not be called on to judge in any cases in which the facts had not oc curred after the promulgation of the Constitution, and that he had supported that amendment, on the ground that the persons accused of the affair of the 15th of May should not be taken out of the jurisdic tion of the ordinary tribunals ; but the Assembly re jected the amendment, and thereby prejudged the question now before it. M. LEDRU ROLLIN contended that the jurisdiction of a court, like crime itself, did not fall within 'elie principle of retro activity, although he admitted that the form of procedure in the court did. J. DUPIN contended that when a tribunal took a new form, or when one tribunal succeeded another, the new tribunal took in every respect the place of its predecessor. After M. DUPIN'S s peech, the debate was a dj ourne d, on the motion of M. J ULES FAYRE. The election of Colonel of the Ist legion of the National Guards of Paris was to have taken place on Saturday, but as no candidate obtained the actual majority, the ballot has to be renewed. The follow ing is the result of Saturday's ballot:— Number of voters ... ... 6,425 Absolute majority ... ... 3,213 AIM. Lucien Murat ... 1,922 le General Gourgaud ... 1,637 le General de Fesensac ... 1,180 Vieyra ... 609 Clary ... ... 471 Ruvignier 350 le General Castellanne ... 162 Lost votes ... ... 394 VIEYRA, the Orleanist candidate, has retired in favour of General DE FEZENSAC, the candidate of the Legitimatists, and Colonel CLARY in favour of N. LUCIEN MUBAT. It is rumoured that the reactionaries have con cocted the following notable scheme for upsetting the Republic, by uniting against it the Monarchists of all shades. The plan laid down, or said to be laid down, is to place the Crown on the head of the Duc DR BORDEAUX, declaring the Comte DB PARIS to be his heir, and in case the latter should not have children the Crown to descend in the family of Louis nu meral, and from that family, in case of an extinction of heirs in the male line, to the house of BONAPARTE. In the meantime, the Princes of the NAPOLEON house to be raised to the dignity of the Princes of the blood royal, with suitable appanages, thus securing them lofty rank, and the means of supporting it. This is evidently an Orleanist proposal, proceeding from that excessively cunning old gentleman, Mr. SMITH, of Claremont. The word "appanage" alone is suffi cient to mark it as an emanation from the brain of the liarpagon d es R o i s ." B ut as ne i t h er H ENRI V. nor Louis IsTAPoLeost are quite idiots, we cannot bring ourselves to believe that they have or that they ever will con sen t t o such an arrangement. Louis hisin the future full possession career fer o a n f power, appa will P sure l y N w neverho is s n el o l w nage, to be wrung from the hard earnings of the people who have elected him to protect their liierties and their property. H ENRI V ., who Would poll 6 to 1 against any member of the Orleans family, if their respective claims were submitted to the choice of the French people—H",„ V. will surely never betray the principles of Legitimacy, of which he is the representative, by disinh er iti ng hi s own posterity in order to legalize the succession of the lineage of an usurper (for such do all the Legiti matists consider Louis PHILIPPE). That the Orleans family would willingly consent to some such plan w e have no doubt ; they give up nothing, but gain every thing a bout by it. If a Bourbon restoration is to brought in France, it is by the Legitimatists, and by the Legi timatists alone, that it can be accomplished, and they have a right to the full enjoyment of the fruits of THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 22, 1849.: their victory ; but al Louis PHILIPPE filched from the Republicans the fruits of their victory in 1830, so would he filch from the Bonapartists and the Lf gi timatists the fruits of any victories they may gain in 1849. IVe repeat, we have not so ill an opinion of the common sense of either HENRI V. or Louis NAPOLEON as to believe that they would consent to become parties to such a one-sided bargain.

Some months ago the portfolio of Minister of War for Hungary was offered to General MASSAROS, and refused by him. The Emperor FERDINAND wrote an autograph letter to MASSAROS urging him to ac cept the office, and in obedience to the command of the EMPEROR, MASSAROS became Hungarian Minister of War. On the taking of Pesth he fell into the hands of WINDISCHGRATZ, and was imme diately placed under arrest. The unfortunate man, aware of the fate which await ed him , blew out his 'brains. He was highly esteemed, and is uni versally- pitied. The excessive severities of WINPISCHGRATZ have already produced their effect. The peasants have risen in many of the districts of Hungary which had submitted to him, and they are now carrying on an annoying and destructive guerilla war against the Imperialists. Leopoldstadt and Comorn still hold out. KOSSUTH has taken with him Generals ROTH and Pumcfrovicll as hostages. VIENNA, JAN. 13.—The Ministerial President, Prince FELIZ SCHWARTZENBERG, arrived here yes terday from 011mutz. The Hungarian Custom dues and the internal administration of the country is to be immediately considered in the Ministerial confer ences, and it is hoped that the Minister of Trade, from Bruck, will associate the principal persons of the Chamber of Commerce with himself in these con sultations. According to intelligence from Pesth, dated the 12th, Field-Marshal WRBNA, after peacefully occu pying Waitzen, broke the four divisions, in order to pursue the insurgent chief GORGRY, who carried 60 cannons with him on his retreat from Pesth, and had about 20,000 Houveds under his command. The Magyars did not make any stay at Weitzel), but fled towards Erlau. KossuTu announced that the scat, of thy 21.63 aro would hearcanxr be wt Dobreczin. _ _ The roads are beginning to be unsafe, for the fugitive Houved soldiery form themselves into bands of robbers. Mobile auxiliaries areconsequently being formed for the security of the States. M. ROISSER, the editor of the Presburgh Journal, and REISZBACH, the author of several violent pam phlets, have fled; but the preacher RAZGA, the bookseller WIGAND, and the Sheriff of Presburgh, BAJESI, have been arrested. Count ZICHY has been appointed Civil Commis sioner of Presburgh, and Field Marshal KEMPEN Commandant of the city. The country of Neurta Trentschen, Wieselburg, and Elsenburg, have also been assigned to him. Prince ‘N'INDISCHGRATZ has granted unconditional pardon to young KALMEN, nineteen years of age, who stopped a courier and burnt his dispatches, as well as to VoREsMABTI, who had arrested a Heyduc (a Hungarian foot soldier) as a military spy, and who had been condemned to be hanged.—Prussian Staats Anzeiger, Jan. 19. FRANKFORT. The adjourned debate on the Supreme Power was continued in the German Parliament on the 18th, and again adjourned. CAMPHAUSEN was expected from Berlin on the 18th. PRUSSIA. The Prussian Conservatives are ambitious of ac quiring the fame of the officials of the Austrian Chan cery as adroit forgers, and they have accordingly pub lished a pamphlet entitled " Unmaskings," which is circulated with the Government paper, Voss's Journal, which pretends to reveal the most atrocious designs said to have been entertained by the Liberals. As several names are mentioned in this clumsy forgery, the concoctors have fallen into their own trap as the persons thus denounced have commenced actions for defamation against the calumniators. The 148th anniversary of the coronation of the first King of PRUSSIA was celebrated on the 18th. SCHLES WIG-HOLSTEIN. KIEL, JAN. 15.—Among the various reports which have been spread relative to the negotiations for peace, that of constituting Schleswig an independent province was considered the most improbable. Nevertheless it now appears that there is some foundation for the report. The whole of Schleswig is opposed to this project. The members of the Diet assembled on the 13th, and resolved, by a great majority, to convoke the Diet, in order that it may pronounce an energetic veto against this design. This assembly will pro bably be speedily convoked. The following address has also been voted to the Minister of the Empire for Foreign Affairs, and is numerously signed : " The burghers and undersigned inhabitants of the city of Schleswig beg very respectfully to make the following declaration to the Ministry of the Empire : "We have been informed that in the negotiations for the conclusion of peace it is the intention of Den mark to sepat ate the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, which have been indissolubly united for centuries, and that the duchy of Schleswig will thus obtain a so-called independence and sovereignty. " We will not dilate upon the grief which the bare mention of this project has caused in Schleswig and Holstein, but we consider it our sacred duty to in.,ke the following solemn declaration : " We regard the execution of this project, viz., the separation of the duchy of Schleswig from that of Holstein, under what form soever it may take place, as a violation of our most sacred privilege, as the annihilation of our German nationality and our country, as treason towards Germany ; and we are firmly decided, that if we should be abandoned by our people, that is by Germany, to continue the war with Denmark, single-handed, a war of life and death. Germans we were, Germans we are, and Germans we will remain. intimate union with Ger many, definitive admission into the German federal state, this is the aim of our most ardent desire; and if our vast mother country will not assist us in at taining this end, we will show that we are, at all events, not unworthy of her, and that to conquer er to die' is our enotto."—Hainburgh Borsenhalle, J an.l7 . DENMARK. Accounts from Copenhagen down to the 13th instant, late in th e even i ng , convey the intelligence that the Com m i ttee o f Fi nan ce appointed by the Diet have decided upon the following points :-Ist. to empower the AM - lister of Finance to borrow, by way of loan, of dollars ; 2d, to empower the said Minister to in the best possible way , seven millions issue 4,000,000 of Exchequer Bills ; also to request the KING to limi t t h e expenses o f his civil list to the ewest possible sum , unders isting cirouingiinces." The Danish papers contain the official reply of the Government to the lengthy memorial of the German Central Power, on the subject of the Schleswig•Hol • stein affairs, and the grounds of complaint in regard to the deviation on the part of Denmark from the terms of the Malmo armistice. THE NETHERLANDS. THE HAGUE, JAN. 19.—The Staats Courant pub lishes the survey of the public receipts during the year 1848, in comparison with those of preceding years ; they produced, in 1848, 53,499,599 florins ; and in 1847, 54,032,307 florins. The diminution, in 1848, is 853,000 florins, import and export dues, tonnage, lighterage, &c., of 631,336 florins on regis tration dues, stamps, &c., of 29,788 florins in the postal department ; and of 135,816 florins in lotteries. On the other hand, there was, in 1848, an augmen• tation of receipts of 454,045 florins on direct taxes, rights of patents, &c. The Excise also showed an increase of 670,447 florins, compared with the pre ceding rear. . . Th:_:llandelsblad, in an article on the discovery of the gold mites in California, shows the great advan tages which might bo obtained by the Netherlands commerce in that country. It calls upon the Govern ment to send a steamer to those parts where the Netherlands flag is almost unknown, and where its interest is not represented, either by a Consul or any agent. It recommends that vessels be sent to Cali fonds, not laden with passengers, who shall go to those shores for the purpose of collecting gold, but well stocked with provisions, wearing apparel, and other common necessaries for those who have gone thither for the purpose of seeking gold, and who, with all their riches, are exposed to the peril of dying of hunger and the want of the common necessaries of life. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS JAN. 20.—The Chamber has this day terminated the discussion of the project of law rela tive to the revision of the law on pensions. The re sult of the discussion was, that the pensions allowed to the old Ministers be retained, :but that this law be replaced for the future by new legislative measures. _ _ _ _ The Chambers expressed their conviction of the necessity of immediately framing a new law on this point. DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. Letters from Bucharest state than another Turkish corps d'armee of 6,000 men has just entered the principalities, and that a reinforcement of a similar body is expected by the Russians who are in canton ment there. TURKEY. Jan. B—The Sultan has issued a firman, in which he accords to Christians the privilege of attai ling to some of the highest dignities, even that of Paella or ViziQr. The Mussulmans have manifested great indignation at the publication of this firman. IRELAND. BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. DUBLIN, SUNDAY EVENING. — The city has been visited by another storm ; it commenced last night, the wind being nearly due west, and continued to blow with violence up to post hour this evening. The Irish anti-free trade journals express serious alarm at the enormous glut of grain which is daily arriving from foreign ports. A Cork paper says that nearly a million quarters are now in bond, waiting only for the Ist of February to be launched on a de pressed market, and every day the quantity receives an augmentation. Further incendiary fires have taken place in the county of Down ; one of the perpetrators of these outrages has been arrested and committed for trial. The fate of the men shot by Grace MTeagh is still uncertain. The cholera is on the decrease in Belfast, only ten cases had occurred within the last three days, five of which proved fatal. The Right Rev. Dr. Walsh, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Cloyne and Ross, died yesterday. The deceased Prelate was highly respected by all classes. He was a decided opponent of political agitation. THE UNITED STATES. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. The royal mail steam- ship Europa, Captain Lott, has passed the Bell Buoy.

In The Sun of Friday last, among the appointments of midshipmen, the name of " E. P. Bedwell to the Apollo is a mistake. E. P. Bedwell is appointed nals ter's assistant to the Superb, 80, at Portsmouth. This young gentlen - an not only receives his appointment, but an excellent outfit of unitorms, bedding, and nautical in struments of considerable value for his conduct and ac quirements in the royal naval schools of Greenwich. He is the son of an old officer and talented artist, whose pic ture of the Queen's lauding in Jersey excited great admiration. TUB _BRECON MURDER.—The Secretary of State has declined to exercise the privil, ge of the Crown in the removal of James Griffiths, otherwise Thomas Wil liams, from Ips3,ich to Brecon, consequently he must undergo the month's imprisonment for stealing the cake at the expiration of which time he will be apprehended on the most serious and awful charge that can bo brought against any one, and transferred to Brecon. With respect to this sad affair, the Silurian remarks, No case has ever occurred in which so mach has been done to attract the attention of the police and the autho rities all over the kingdom; a fact which is proved by no less than 25 persons having been detained in different parts of the country, from Torquay, on the south COHSt. of Devon, to Hetton-le-liole, nut far from the Scottish bordets, while at last the prisoner was take❑ within 20 miles o;) the eastern coast of England, We think, there fore, that, instead of any blame attaching to the authori ties at Brecon, great credit is due to them foi the steady, continued, and jw.dcious exertions made, and which ren dered the ultimate escape of the prisoner almost impos sible." THREE FIRES IN ONE HOUSE.—On Saturday night, shortly before ten o'clock, the inhabitants of Park road, Brixton, were alarmed by loud cries of " firel" proceeding from the private residence of Mr. G. Augus tini, No. 1, Loughborough cottages. In the course of a few minutes, a number of the neighbours, with a strong muster of the P division of police, under the command of Mr. Inspector Emmerson, hastened to the premises, when on entering they found the front parlour wrapped in flames. With the aid of plenty of water the flames were extinguished in that portion of the house, when, to the surprise of the persons present, their attention was called to another fire burning in the kitchen, and before it could he subdued they found that a third fire was rag• ing in the cupboard under the stairs. So fiercely was the latter fire spreading that but few minutes longer were required for the flames to have travelled through the building. The engines of the London Brigade, from Southwark and Waterloo-road stations, with that of the West of EnOind Company, were speectly at the spot, and by the exertions of all parties present the flames were extinguished. Mr. Augustini was insured in the Phoenix Fire-office for furniture and building. From Java the accounts, which reach to the 29th of November, are unsatis , actory. There had been several failures at Batavia amongst the Chinese traders, by which some of the foreign and Dutch merchants w ill suffer severely. Imports were still at ruinously low rates, and as the Government trading company monopo lised nearly all the exports, the general condition of the island was one of extreme discontent, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. ; Y. 1R I() THREE. The Cotton Market at Live pool on Smut day clued steadily, with a good supply, at the full currency of Friday. The sales were eslimatud at 7,000 bales, and include 2.500 American on speculation, and 500 for ex- port, chiefly Bowed, at 410., 2 . 00 Egyptian at 54c1. to 6d., and 250 Surat at 34d. The market for Railway Shares was not so active, and prices were a shade lower. The mail-steamer Europa, from North America, has bleu telegraphed, but her accounts are not expected to be delivered to-day. Her Majesty's packet Linnet, from Rio, does not bring later advices from that city than those received on Saturday, and the River Plate news seems to be of no special import. Even thing in that quarter, up to Nov. 18, was unsettled and unfavourable, despite of all the exertions made by England and France to, conciliate Roses, who, as many conceive, was much better driven than coaxed. The surrender of the brass guns taken by the British portion of the squadron at the battle of Obligado, in the river Parana, is certainly calculated to excite a dieagreeable impression, as they were hard fought for, and we have gained no favour by relinquishing them. The French, who shared the work and honour with us, have wisely. retained their trophies, and they may still be seen at Brest. It would appear that some of our cruisers on the South American station would be well empl,yed in chastising the natives who have imprisoned and even murdered some of our unfortunate countrymen, the last victim being Mr. John Eaton, the master of the brig Avon. The revenue of Belgium, like that of other countries, materially decreased last year; the total difference in the indirect imposts, compared with 1847, being 4,805,0001. The Customs duties were less by 1,344,000 E, the Stamps by 416,3401., and the railway receipts by 2,544,000 t Per contra, there was an increase of 1,662,000 f. in the sugar duties, and an augmentation in the revenue from salt, brandy, and vinegar. In Holland last year there was an increase in the Excise and a de• crease in the direct taxes. At Amsterdam on Friday the Stock Market Was scarcely so high. At Hamburgh, on the 16th instant, the exchange on London was 13 84, being 4 lower. Gold was at 436 k. In bills of exchange not much was done. On London paper was in request. The Mining Share Market has been rather duller within the last few days, but still there is a prospect of an increase. The Brazilian accounts this morning are satisfactory. Some of our home mines are doing very well; end as the value of tin and other metals increase the returns will be proportionably larger. The Union Bank of Australia has declared a divi dend of three per cent. for the half-year, and ss. per share bonus. The English Stock Market, although very quiet, is firmer, and no foreign intelligence of peculiar interest has been received. Consols have been 894 to 904 The value of Exchequer-bills (March) is 435., and of those dated June, 475. premium. India, Bonds are 445. to 475. premium. Bank Stock is 1884 to 190, and India Stock 2404 to 245. The New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. have been 901,- to 91*. Reduced Three per Cents. are 90 to k. The Foreign Securities have been very steady, though, like the English Funds, quiet. Spanish Five per Cents. are 154 to 154, and the Three per Cents. 284 to Portuguese Four per Cents. have realised 27 to *. Brazilian Small Bends have been quoted 78, Grenada 16, and Equador 3. Dutch Four per Cents. have been quoted 78 to 784. The Railway Share Market has been in a very healthy condition again. Caledonian, Aberdeen, Midland. and Brighton are rather higher. Eastern Counties, North Stafford, and the York lines much the same. Bltt isISH. FUNDS Tti lb DAY Al. ()NI. O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock 10% 190 per Cent. Reduced 9O 90 44 per Cent.
