night of his first appearance in London, he says— "My mind has always been inclined to the stage. Last night I played Richard the Third to the surprise of everybody, and as I shall make very near 3001. per annum of it, and as it is really what I dolt upon, lam resolved to pursue it." This interesting series of letters sold at high prices, amounting in the whole to about 1101. UND FOR PROMOTING. FEMALE EMIGRATION. The sympathies of the public have recently been interested by de tailed accounts of the condition of the poor, and especially of the suf ferings ef some of those who are among the moot helpless of their sex—the working women of the country. In the metropolis alone, 33,500 women are engaged in the single business of apparel•making. It is estimated that 28,500 of them are under 20 years of age, and that of these a large portion are subsisting, or attempting to subsist, on sums varying from 4M. to 2%c1. a day. Throughout Great Britain the male population is greatly outnum bered by the female. By the census of 1341 it appeared that there were 320,000 more women than men, and so great has been the amount of male emigration during the last nine years, that the ex ams of females may be fairly supposed to have reached half a million. In the British Colonies, on the other hand, the inequality is re versed: in 1817 there were in New South Wales only 41,900 females to 83,000 males; in South Austra la only 13,000 females to 17,000 males. Similar disproportion exists in Yan Diemen's Land and other Colonial dependencies. It is proposed to take measures with a view to abate this doable evil ; to supply the Colonies with tie population which is the crying want of society there, and at the same time to redress this increas ing grievance of the mother country, to rescue from penury and mi sery those who emigrate, and, by diminishing the unnatural excess of female labour, to better the conditon of those who remain. With these views the following Noblemen and Gentlemen have formed themselves into a Comelier EZ. The Right Hon. SIDNEY HERBERT, M.P., Chairman. The Right Hon. Lord John Russell, M.P.

Sherman The Count de Strzelecki, J. I. Travers, Esq. It is proposed to tike immediate measures for promoting Emigre tion t) the Bri•ish Colonies on an extensive scale. Ass'stanze will, in the first instance, be extended to the class which, as the poorest and most hel,,lese, has a reasonable claim to early consideration -the needlewomen and slop-workers. Offices will he immediately opened, at which such parties may re gister their applications. Care ev,ll be taken to select such persons only es are of good cha racter an,l are well recommended, and whose age and habits render , them fit subjects for emigration. Such arrangements will be made as will secure for them every To - eible safeguard and care during the pessage out. Communic.s lions will be opened with the colonies, with a view to the proper re ception of the emigrants on their arrivel ; for their temporary as sistance, net to afford them facilities for placing themselves in respectable positions. The amount of the assistance, and the ferns in which it is to be rendered to the emigrants, whether that assistance shall be by way of gift or loan, or both, must depend upon the amount of contribu tions at the disposal of the committee, and be necessarily regulated by the circumstences of each case. A vast undertaking is proposed, a great ant growing evil is to be met and remedied, vigorous action and large means are required ; but the Committee look with confidence to the public for support, daub Ing not Cleat in a land abounding with wealth, and in which t sere is a self-denying and a Christian spirit, means will be provided for accomplishing so great an end. They venture to remind the nation of the great and grievous Mil ction which, by the Providence of God, they have Just escaped, and they urge upon them the great duty of showing their gratitude to their Divine Benefactor by assisting the most helpless and needy of His creatures.

CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR, But although he comes in snow, he still hopes to meet with a warm reception—hut where Is he going? Why, to pay his yearly visit to the Spirit of John Rish, in the GHOSTLY CITY OF DEPARTED FUN.

Anderson's my Joe, John," and " I am Rich," that's more than every one can say; we wish they could—How to make a Pantomime ?—" that is the question"—but the answer, it is hoped, will i e satisfactory— Poor Tra-ge-dy meets with no clemency, so we fly by night" to A SPLENDID HALL IN . THE PALACE OF' GOOD QUEEN BESS. We now come to Historical Facts, therefore, as the Clown at .kstley's would say, " Lot us be serious." It is an historical fact, that the Earl of Essex loved, or pretended so, Good Queen Bess, therefore he hated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a conspi racy—Sir Walter Raleigh fears his pipe will be put out —Bacon gets quite in a frizzle, and Lord Burleigh shakes his head—but there's nothing in that, whatever they may say to the contrary. It is an historical fact, that Good Queen Bess was assisted at her toilet by many of her noblemen, therefore the GRAND PROCESSION OF THE TOILETTE is introduced, in which the Royal Wig ! the Royal hull! ! the Royal Blushes !! ! and the Royal Petticoat ! ! ! will mike their first appearance on any stage, and trust to the " ussal indulgence of a British Public." These are followed by GOOD QUEEN BESS en deshabille, as she is represented hi a pie' ore at Hampton Court. —What comes next will certainly follow—and then will be seen GOOD QUEEN BESS n all her royal splendour.—lt is an Historical Fact, that Good Queen Bess, like " Young Susan"—" had lovers so many that she scarcely knew upon wh`ch to docile"—and it is an Historical Fact that the following were a fear of them. THE REJECTED ONES : Philip of Spain, Prince Rupert, Prince of Sweden, Duke of Anjoa, Prince Alengon, Marquis of Winchester, the King of Sweden, Henry of Navarre, Archduke Charles, Earl of Arundel, Sir William Pickering, Charles Blount, and the Earl of Arran. Good Queen Bess appoints a meeting of these " woaderous proper men" at Kenilworth, but declares, that oa her way, " A hunting she will go" —and having got on the " High Horse," the story gallops on to CUMNOR HALL BY MOONLIGIIT —Wilson. " Coming events cast their shadows before "—" Hest thee, my darling "—Ketchy, ketchy, ketehy—" Put out the light, and then "—enter the Earl of Leicester on his way to Kenil worth—He stops at Love's half-way house, the Bobsar Arms—" Oh, Susanna," or rather " Ol e Amy !"—lt can't be said, "he makes no bones about it "—They part, " more in sorrow, than in anger," but, " being gone, Amy is herself again "—that is to say, a rather jealous young lady, who in her " dee? despair," introduces her Lovely Babby, to whom she sings the following pathetic stanza : " Come my babby, come along with mo We'll go to far-famed Kenilworth, Your naughty dal to see." And so they do. KENILWORTH CASTLE As it appeared on the OWasion of Good Queen Bess's Royal Visit. For further particulars Inquire of Sir Walter Scott. It is an histori cal fact that Good Queen Bess paid the Earl of Leicester a visit, and " paid the piper." This, his gorgeous fete, half ruined him ; there fore we pity his fate, but must admire his wondrous generosity, for all he ever hoped for in return was—half-a-crown. The Earl fore stalls Shakspere, by discovering " that the course of true lave never did run smooth," for here he meets with seine twenty " competi tears," and to him they do come " petit ours," for they prove per fect bears, or, more properly speaking, bores. A Lovers' Quarrel n a grand scale, a sort of " tiff fur the million," takes place, which, 'though beginning in love, ends in war, and the total destruction of TUE SPANISH ARMADA!

There is something exhilarating in the very thought of Christmas. Coming as it does in the wintry season of the year, accompanied with falling snow and piercing cold, it yet is in itself so cheering and so genial that its very mention warms the heart. There are few Scrooges amongst us (happily for us all), there are few even of the most matter-of-fact and worldly who are wholly insensible to the " com pliments of the season." And it is well that it is so. It is well that now and then we should pause in our tumultuous career, and yield to that touch of nature which makes the whole world kin. Let us hope that the substance corresponds with the semblance, end that the very general festivities which celebrate Christmas-day are only a token of the general prevalence of Christmas feelings. Otherwise our congratulations are but lip-homage, and our mirth a mockery. What avails it that we keep the holiday if its significance be unheeded ? and no holiday is so significant as this one. This day commemorates the birth of ONE whose life and death were one long act of charity, and who fixed, as the distinguishing mark of his disciples, that they should "love one. another." Therefore it is in vain that we deck our hearths with blooming evergreens, and load our tables with con ventional cheer—we do not keep Christmas unless we keep it in a right Christmas spirit—such a spirit as prompts every one to think kindly of his neighbour, reconciles quarrels, checks the angry retort, and with a soft answer turns away wrath—such a spirit as induces one to give the beggar a sixpence instead of a copper " because it 15 Christmas-day." It may seem out of place to dwell on these minor moralities, but all who rightly scrutinize the complicated fabric of society will find that such trifles indeed make the sum of human things. It each individual amongst us would zealously perform his own peculiar part, and do all the good in his own power, the world would be somewhat different from what it is, and Christmas time would not be annual but perennial. Life is compounded of sweets and bitters, and they who complain of the pre ponderance of the latter have too often only to blame their own ambitious or ire pgient spirit. Still there are in this world some sorrows and sufferings almost beyond the power of humanity to sustain, and these call into action Christian sympathy and Christmas charity. Yester day we had occasion to congratulate the public on the timely demonstration of these sentiments as evidenced by the large sum already subscribed to the newly-established Emigrant Fund. The series of articles which are appearing in the Morning Chronicle, and deservedly exciting such general interest, also afford another felicitous sign of the times, and at an appropriate moment. If ever the distinctions of rank and lowliness, of riches and poverty, should be for gotten, it is at a time which reminds us that once the LORD of rich and poor, of heaven and earth, had not where to lay his head save in a cattle-shed. Our conventional distinctions sink to insignificance at the remembrance. We are, al alike, but passing actors on a limited stage, and so that we perform our part well, it matters little whether that part be lord or commoner, master or servant. " Honour and shame from no coadition rise," and therefore they should be especially applied to no situation whatever. These practical adaptations of - fraternity and equality, taken rather in a social than in a political sense, are fit matters for consideration on the present occasion. This is a day of rejoicing, it is true—our annual jubilee. Parted friends meet with gladness, and estranged relatives exchange the grasp of sympathy. Children cluster joyously round the paternal hearth, and old faces once more , wear the smiles of former days. It is , GOD be thanked, a day of joy; and yet to those who think rightly it comes with a chastening sense of responsi bility incurred. Christmas leaves its mission un fulfilled if it fails in humbling the spirit which it gladdens—if it fails in opening the heart to sympa thise and impelling the hand to suclour—if it fails in cementing the brotherhood of man while it recals the human existence of Divinity. Let it not so fail with us. Never before have the children of ADAM had greater need of mutual sympathy and mutual succour. May the influence of the season be evidenced in good fruits, and it will be gratuitous for us to wish each other a merry Christmas or a happy New Year. We have already briefly alluded to the unbecoming tone assumed by Mr. COBDEN at Leeds, in reference not only to his steadfast and inveterate opponents, the Protectionists, but also to his faithful and un flinching-allies, the Irish representatives, who aided him through good report and through evil report, and who were mainly instrumental in achieving the triumphant victory on which he so justly prides himself. Like many others, however, Mr. COBDEN has suffered his mind to become unduly elated at the extraordinary success that has heretofore attended his exertions. He arrogates to himself the entire glory of recent reforms. He abandons the weapons so nobly wielded in the former contest, and has assumed the arms of his defeated foes. He becomes more arbitrary and despotic even than despots themselves. He would stifle the voice of free opinion, if it should happen to be opposed to his own peculiar views. He fulminates pains and penalties against all those who array them selves under any other banner than his own. His motto is no longer, "Justice and Equality, Liberty and Freedom to the conquered as well as the con querors." " Ice victis" is now his cry ; and not even the sanguinary HAYNAU, the blood-thirsty myrmidon of the Red Emperor, the woman-flogger, could adopt more energetic measures to suppress any attempt to change the existing state of affairs. The agriculturists and other owners of real property must not dare to murmur, because the entire burden of the poor-rates is cast upon their shoulders ; or attempt to agitate for a more equitable system—and 1 why ? His answer is, first, " because thwe burdens have been borne by the real property of the country 1 from two to three centuries at the l e a s t." Th e ev i l must not, then, be remedied—the grievance mu et be maintained with even increased rigour, because it has become "an aged vice, a grey iniquity." Is this an argument that Mr. C OBDBN wou ld t rea t w ith I much indulgence if proceeding from the hostile camp ? Would he acknowledge its weight and authority if ladduced against any of his own favourite proposi -1 tions ? No man would expose its folly and absurdity with more powerful effect, or cast ridicule more I freely upon its propounders. And yet he now adopts i it, and thus places powerful weapons in the hands of I the advocates of " fieality." Is it because personal property has hitherto been exempted from its just liebilities, and because the owners thereof have been enabled to shift the responsibility from their own shoulders to those of their neighbours ' for so long a period because fraud and chicanery was triumphant for two or three centuries, that it is always to continue in a similar position ? No man knows better than Mr. COBDEN, that according to the spirit of the law, and the true intent and meaning of the Legislature, personal property was assessible to poor-rates as well as real property, and that it was owing merely to the difficulty of enforcing the claim, and not to any just grounds of exemption, that it has hitherto evaded the responsibility ; nay, an annual Act of the „ Legislature is necessary to free one description of gods and chattels, namely, stock in trade, from the demands of the poor-rate collectors, which may be omitted any session of Parliament. Such, then, is his first answer, which he conceives "to be sufficient." But he has another, and we regret to say, one not a particle better or more equitable than his first resporke. He says, " the poor have the best sight of subsistence from the land, and there is no other security but the land itself! Other kinds of property may take wings and fly aw a y! ! Moveable property has very often been known to flit, the day before the quarter day !! ! Capital employed in trade may be lost in an unsuccessful venture in China— wages sometimes disappear altogether, and therefore the real and true security to which the people of this country should look is in the soil itsey !!! !" And are such the arguments with which RICHARD CODDEA, the plain, practical, argumentative RICHARD COBDEN, addresses a reasoning people ? Is this really the man who has been called " the Apostle of Free-trade," or a rampant Pro tectionist, chaunting the supremacy of the " ter ritorial aristocracy," and asserting that all other ;lasses are essentially and necessarily inferior to the lords of the soil ! We can scarcely believe our ears. Surely if personal property be of such a character, ,o fleeting and evanescent in its nature that it cannot be made the subject of taxation, but that the entire fiscal burdens of the country should be borne by the landlords, the same parties —on the ancient and well approved principle that taxation and representation should go hand in hand and be intimately connected together—should have a paramount voice in the go vernment of the country and should be allowed to regu late the expenditure for which they alone were bound to provide. Such arguments, Mr. COBDEN, will not iuit the advanced intelligence of the age. It was not by such reasoning that the doctrines of free trade ' were sustained until they gained a complete ascen iancy over the public mind. As one of the earliest ind most disinterested supporters of these principles, is one who from the very beginning of the agitation afforded an independent and honest advocacy, we emphatically caution you against the tone you have recently assumed, and openly tell you that great and extraordinary as has been your elevation, no less signal will be your downfal unless you obey the dictates of reason and listen to the voice of justice and of moderation. ME FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Constitutionnel announces the arrival in Paris if M. DE RISWICK, Envoy Extraordinary from the King of the SANDWICH ISLANDS. M. DE RISWICII is a native of Baden, and has been for twelve years past in the service of the King of the SANDWICH ISLANDS. His mission is connected with the late events which have occurred at Honolulu, and he is instructed to make formal complaint of the conduct of the French Consul, M. DILLON, in that affair.. The Moniteur publish es th e f o ll ow i ng announce ment of the reduction of the interest on the Bons du Tresor of the Republic : "By a decision of this day's date. the Minister of the Finances has reduced, commencing from to-morrow, the 24th of December, the interest of the Bons du Tresor, to wit:—To 3 per cent. per annum for the Bons having prom three to five months to run; to 4 per cent. per annum for the Bons having from six to eleven months to run; to 5 per cent. per annum for Bons of one year." The person who has won the silver statue, worth 25,000% in the Artists' Lottery, which has been just drawn, is a M. LotvltlEß, of Paris, formerly a Go vernment contractor. Prince CALLIMARI, the Turkish ambassador, gave 4 brilliant fete on Friday evening, a t whi c h the elite of the society of Paris were present. The diplomatic corps, several of the Ministers, the President of the Assembly, and a number of representatives, were to he seen on this occasion in his Excellency's salons. Prince CZ ARTORISKY and Count TELEKI were also present. The Union having a few days since quoted from the Constantinople correspondence ofa London journal a statement to the effect, that on the ex-Ambassador, the Baron DE:BOURQUENEY, quittingtheTurkish capital,the SULTAN expressed his regret at his departure, and told him that if he should not wish to remain in France he would always find a welcome at Constantinople, at the same time giving him a sum of money equal to 5,0001., and a magnificent present of die monds.—M DE BOURQUENEY has addressed a letter to the above journal, contradicting the statement of the English correspondent. "It is true," he says, " that on leaving Constantinople the SULTAN expressed himself in the kindest manner towards me, and his last words will ever be deeply engraven on my memory, but he would no more have thought of offering me a sum of money than I should of accepting it." The 41Ioniteur publishes a long list of "Errors of the Press," being a series of unfounded rumours on the subject of the PRESIDENT and the Government, which have been circulated by the journals of Paris within the last few days, and to the whole of which the ilioniteur gives oftl dally the most formal contradic tion. Among the rumours thus officially contradicted is the revival of the report of the resignation of M. FERDINAND BARROT, and the appointment of M. LEON FAucuax as Minister of the Interior which we characteris e d as totally unworthy of credit when it first appeared in the Paris journals.

Te!ESDAY EVENING ) DECEMBER 25, I GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSIA AND AUSTRIA. The Berlin Constitutional of the 21st publishes the following, which may be considered as semiofficial, on the subject of the alleged differences with Austria : " The state of tension existing between Austria and Prussia, evidently over-rated by the greater part of the press since the reception of the last Austrian note, ap pears in a totally different light, as it is now known that the last of these menacing documents, which could only be construed in a warlike sense by persons unacquainted with the subject, was accompanied by a document most uncommonly conciliatory, and replied to by Prussia in the same tone, but at the same time with firmness and strict a iherence to that basis of right which it has ac-.sumed. Austria contents itself, seeing that nothing else can be done, with establishing two corps (in the Vorarlberg and in &hernia), which are intended to enter and protect Wurtemberg and Saxony, in case of revolution. Prussia meantime persists in the execution of an office which may not, but ought to, insure her many friends." The following is the substance of the Prussian re joinder, dated 12th of December, to the Austrian protest, against the Assembly of the Erfurth Parlia ment. Austria had entered her protest " 1. Against the convocation of a Parliament, as i❑ oppo3ition to the Federal Act of 1815. " 2. Against any resolution the Parliament might in future pass. "3. Against the Prussian league, and the attempt to substitute that league in the place of the German Confederacy without the consent of all the members of that Confederacy ; and "4. Against the dangers which might possibly accrue from the convocation of a Parliament, which Austria protested she would employ all her available means to oppose." The Prussian rejoinder reviews these objections to the Prussian League with great deliberation. The legal ground on which Prussia and her allies stand is brought forward by an examination of the right which Prussia derives from the old federal law, and by the practical proof of various alterations which that federal law has undergone. Prussia is, therefore, entitled to claim the right to continue on the path of a necessary historic development, for that path she cannot leave without great misfortunes for and injustice to Germany, especially since the Prussian policy is at peace with the essentials of the Confede ration, and with the rights of the Austrian empire. The very Federal Digit, by its appeal to the National Assembly, and by its recognition of the Central Power, tended to produce a still more sweeping unity of the German nation. The Prussian dispatch proceeds to state that the forcible execution of the Frankfort election of an Emperor might have been a bribe to any Government but that of Prussia. By the accession to the league of almost the whole of her dominions, and by the common assent of all the members of that league, Prussia has come to be the greatest German power, while Austria, by the declara tion of the 27th of November, 1848, and by the Con stitution of the 4th of Afarch, 1849, chose to take an isolated position in which she (Austria) declared it was her intention to remain until at the side of renovated Austria Germany, too, had completed her regeneration. And since the majority of the repre sentaives of the German people—since the majority of the German sovereigns offered Prussia the Imperial Crown, it was not an ambitious whim, but it was the duty of Prussia, after refusing the Crown, to lead the nation to the goal to which their aspira tions were directed. The majority of the German States, placing their confidence in the firmness of Prussia, joined the League of the 2611 of May, and the Prussian Government was called upon to fulfil, not vague and indefinite promises, but to redeem a definite and substantial pledge. "But if (continues the dispatch) the Austrian Cabinet has really apprehensions that the convocation of a Parliament should threaten the public order and tranquillity within the territories of the old Confe deration, and since that Cabinet, anticipating what we consider an improbable and remote contingency, declares that it will oppose these dangers with all avail able means, we feel called upon to say, that we have no such fears, and that we consider the convocation of a Parliament as the surest means to prevent another revolution, but we also protest that in the case of real dangers threatening the public order and tranquillity of Germany, we should think it our duty to give the Austrian Cabinet our unlimited and hearty co-opera tion for their instant suppression. AVe are sure that our allies will gladly join us in so meritorious an un dertaking." The memorial which accompanies this dispatch, and whiclfcontains an elaborate disquisition on the federal law as it was and is, concludes with the following résumé : "The League of the 26th of May, and the Confe deration intended by that League, are not in contra diction to the law and organization of the German Confederacy. But even if that law were in all its parts in its former force, there would be no legal right to oppose that League and that Confederation. Now, the old federal law is obsolete in all those parts which relate to the Confederation as a totality, and to the relations of the individual members to the politi cal body—that law exists now only in its chapters on international law, in the alliances of the Governments, in the purposes of these alliances, and in the rights and duties of the members. A new law is to be created in the place of the obsolete law. That new law ought to be formed with consideration to the League of the 26th of May. The united Governments have a right to demand elbow-room for their League. They would not on any account force anybody to join them, but they will not allow anybody to prevent them from forming an alliance for their own benefit and to the conclusion of which they are fully entitled." CENTRAL GERMANY. Letters from Frankfort of the 20:h give the parti culars of the ceremonial observed on the resignation by the Archduke John of the office of Regent of Ger many. The following is a translation of the protocol of this important transaction : " Done at Frankfort, in the palace of his Imperial Highness the Archduke and Regent John, this day, the 20th day of December, 1849. " Whereas his Imperial Highness the Archduke and Regent John has repeatedly [expressed a wish to laJ enabled to resign the office of Regent of Germany ; and whereas certain negotiations for the creation of another organ of federal and central power have, on the 31st of September, 1849, terminated in a conven tion between the respective Governments of Prus sia and Austria; and the German Governments having notified their adhesion to the said convention; and his Majesty the King of Prussia having appointed his Lieutenant-General (Baron Radowil z) and his President (Dr. Botticher); and his Majesty the Em peror of Austria having likewise appointed ChArles Baron Kil'oek•Kubau a Privy Councillor to his said Imperial Majesty and the Field-Marshal-Lieutenant Charles Baron Schiinbals, to act as members of the Federal Commission as created by virtue of the Con vention aforesaid; and the said Commissioners having been identified by an examination of their respective warrants, his Imperial Highness the Archduke and Regent John has invited the said Commissioners to receive and to testify to his resignation." .. _ _ Dr. Mettemus acted as clerk . to the Commission. At one o'clock r.u. on the 20'11 of December his Imperial Highness the Archduke Regent entered the Council-room, accompanied by the gentlemen fording his Cabinet, viz., the President of the Cabi net and Secretary-at-War, Prince Sain- Wittgenstein. Berleburg ; the Minister of Foreign Affairs and First Lori of the Admiralty, Mr. JechmuA ; the Minis ter of Justice, of Home Affairs, and of Commerce, Mr. Detmold ; and the Minister of Finance, Mr. Merk. Whereupon the Commissioners of the two Govern ments produced the convention which was concluded between the Governments of Prussia and Austria on the 30th of September, together with the declaration of adhesion of the German Governments, excepting the Governments of Oldenburg (although there is a promise of assent) and of Luxemburg; the adhesion of the King of Holland, who has declared his ad hesion to the convention as Duke of Limburg, being presupposed for his Duchy of Luxemburg. These documents and the warrants of the !said Commissioners are added to the minutes. His Imperial Highness the Archduke and Regent condescended to make the following declaration : " Gentlemen,—You are aware that I have long wished to resign my office. But since when I took that office the Federal Diet pronounced its own disso lution, and since the National Assembly followed its example at a later period, I saw that I could not yield to my inclination without breaking the bonds which contain the German States, thereby surrendering Germany to danger and to all but ruin. " My duties compelled me to remain until another organ for the discharge of the common business of the country should have been created. That moment is come. The two bearers of my power were the totality of the German Government and the German National Assembly. My feelings compel me to give my sincerest thanks to them for their co-operation and assistance. "The National Assembly exists no longer. That Assembly hastened on its own end by overstepping its legal limits, and by making the widest strides in a false direction at a time when the ccurse of events was such that the slightest deviation from the legal side of the question must necessari!y lead to certain ruin. " The decline and fall of the National Assembly is a lesson to the German people. It shows that there is but one way for our constitution—the way of calm and intrepid progress and of a conscientious respect fur justice and law. " After the dissolution of the National Assembly, I could resign my office only to the totality of the Ger man Governments, and Austria and Prussia have concluded a provisional convention, which the other members of the Confederation thought proper to accept. " Pursuant to my eventual consent, which I gave on the 6th of October, and according to paragraph 7 of the said convention, I resign my office as Regent, and I resign the rights and duties of the Confedera tion into the hands of their Majesties of Austria and Prussia. " I have the consciousness of having faithfully laboured to exercise my power fur the glory and the welfare of the country. " Success has not yet crowne I the endeavour to surround that country with other constitutional bonds, to insure and strengthen its greatness and power. But the old bonds are preserved, and peace is secured. But I shall not be able to look with pleasure on the time of my administration until the futurity of the country is secured by a more lasting union. But my cares on the subject of that union are lightened now that I see the subject under protection of two of the most powerful among the German Govern ments. If these two will act in harmony, if they will cleave to their right, and thus lead the way, the other Governments may safely follow them as their leaders, and success will crown the work. " May Germany profit by experience, and may her fates, by the assistance of Almighty God, he brought to a prosperous issue by the harmony and the patriot of the German Princes, and by the good spirit of the nation." After his Imperial Highness had finished his speech, the Austrian Privy Councillor, Baron.Kiibek, replied to it by thanking his Highness for the intre pid manner in which the Archduke had executed the important functions of his office during a time of unparalleled danger; and the proceedings being thus terminated, the records of the transaction were signed by the following persons :—Archduke John, Witt genstein, Jochmus, Detmold, Merk, Kubek-Kubau (Austrian Commissioner), Schonhals (Austrian Commissioner), Radowitz (Prussian Commissioner), Dr. Botticher, (Prussian Commissioner). SAXONY. In reply to a question addressed to M. DE BEUST, in the Saxon Chambers, upon Wednesday (19th), relative to the rumours of the Austrian concentra tions on the Bohemian Saxon frontier, that Minister replied in substance, that " The Government had no official notice of any such operations, and knew no more of the matter than what it read in the public . journals ; that it was meanwhile the incontestable right of the Austrian Government to canton and dis locate its troops within its own territory as best pleased its own convenience; arid that under any circumstances their military disp,;sitions could not be regarded as being connected with any hostile inten tions towards Saxony." AUSTRIA AND POLAND. The Gazette of Breslau, says that Austrian troop have arrived at Czenstockan by railroad from Cra cow. After remaining a short time, these troops marched in the direction of Wars av , leaving only a small detachment at Czenstockan. It is said to be the intention of Russia to concentrate all her forces on the Turkish frontier, in order to be able at any time to take advantage of events which may arise, and that Austria will garrison Poland. RUSSIA. The Ilamburgh Borsenhalle announces the dis covery of a new and very extensive conspiracy in Russia. Its focus was at Moscow, and its object was to depose the dynasty . of Romanoff. The chiefs of the conspiracy are at present at St. Btersburgb, and many members of the Senate are implicated in it. A coup de main against the CzAa, was to have been attempted on New Year's Day. The conspirators who have been hitherto discovered all belong to the high nobility and.to the Russian national party (the party of the Boyards). Not a single Pole is compromised in this affair. The conspiracy is exclusively aristocratic and Russian. ITALY. The Roman correspondent of the Statuto of Flo rence, writes under date of the 13th :—" ['he return of the Holy Father to Rome is expected about the middle of January. The diplomatic body, it is said, had strongly urged his immediate return, and the POPE had shown some inclination to follow that course; but the cardinals had strongly opposed it, on the ground that his return would have much greater effect, if preceded by the conclusion of a foreign loan. It was certain, at any rate, that the POPE would re main at Por'ici till the 7th. Cardinal Antonelli is to leave on a mission to the Catholic courts. The Government commission now partly con sents to acknowledge the loan contracted by the Re publican Government with the Bank of Rome, and offers to consider it in the light of paper money issued by that Government; it would thus lose one-third of its nominal value ; but even this arrangement is likely to ruin the Bank." The Paris Constitutionnel publishes a letter from Rome of the 15th, which says— " The return of the Pope is decided on. The prepa rations are at this moment making for the illuminations which are to welcome his return. All the political questions have been smoothed down by General Bara guay s d'fiilliers, who return( d some days sinco from Portici, and who appears well pleased with the result of his journey, The only point which now remains to be settled is the financial one." The Nazionale states from Rome 18th, that Car dinal ANTONELLI is to be succeeded by Cardinal LAMBRUSCIIINI as Secretary of State and President of the Cabinet. Disturbances had taken place at Frosinone, in consequence of the restoration of the multure tax. The Neapolitan troops garrisoned there had been obliged to retire. OPENING OF THE PIEDMONTESE CRAM BER.-SPEECH FROM THE THRONE. The King Of SARDINIA opened the Picdmontese Chamber at Turin on the '2oth in person. The KING was repeatedly cheered on his passage to the Chamber, and was received by the Members with loyal shouts. His IVIA.TESTIC read the following speech from the throne : " Gentlemen, Senators, and Deputies,—The circum stances which led me to dissolve the late Parliament, and which, after an appeal to the country, brings me here to open a new one, give me no cause for discou ragement. They have instructed us that in that school in which alone true politics are learned—the school of experience ; they have been the occasion of exhibiting a noble example of confidence and concord between the Sovereign and the people ; they have given free scope to the country to show that it is ready to sustain its political institutions, and that it is worthy of its liberties. " The aspect of our ainirs, which I qualifi-d as grave four month); ago, has not changed. Neverthrle.ss, our relations with the friendly powers have become more easy, and our credit is al3o cansolidated; but the most important questions, whether internal or external, are still unsettled. " Tiiis uncertain situation, if prolonged, will take away our influence abroad, and will prejudice the coun try against those institutions, which, holding out the hope of good government and progress, will, on the con. trary, but paralyse the latter and introduce disorder into the former. It is your duty to prevent these fatal con sequences. There arises in my heart a new and firm confidence in the future destinies of our country and of our institutions. The electors have heard my voice, and have run in great numbers to the poll. lam happy, on this solemn occasion, to assure them of my gratitude. I consider as done to myself the good they have dne for the public cause—a cause ever most precious and dear to me, preferring. as I constantly do the public good to my private advantage. There is no need for me to point out to you the questions which, on account of their great urgency, call for your immediate attention, as they are well known to you, and it only remains for me to recommend them to your early consideration and to your prudence. Gentlemen, Senators, and Deputies,—ln order to consolidate the political organization instituted by the King, Charles Alb .rt, my father, of august memory, I have done everything in my power. But if it is wished that these institutions shall take deep root in the hearts and minds of all, neither the wishes nor the decree of the King is sufficient for that purpose, but it is necessary that their utility and advantage should be made apparent by their practical application. This necessary sanction is, moreover, confided to your wisdo m . I wo uld point out to you that no grander occasion can ever he af forded you to use that wisdom, and in the name of that country which we all so much love, I beseech your cast ing aside every other thought, to entertain at preseut but one, that of healing our country's wounds. and at the same time blessing it with honour and safety."

AMERICAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, MorinAY• By the Royal Mail Ste:An-ship Canada, Captain fierrison, we have intelligence from New York to the 12th, and Halifax to the 15th inst. Tha Royal mail steamer Europa, Captain Lott, arrived at Boston on the 7th inst. The steamer Herrmann, for New York, 21 dills from Southampton, put into Halifax on the 1 ` ? i1) inst. for a supply of coals, and again sailed on the following day. The Wes't India mail-steamer Great Western, Captain Wolfe, arrived at New York on the 10th instant from Bermuda. From Washington we learn, under date the 10th inst., that the unusually long-continued struggle, between contending parties f o r th e e l ec ti on o f th e ir rival candidates to the Speakership of the ITouse of Repro' sentatives had, contrary to expectation, arrive° at no decision ; and, consequently, we again have to report that no message had been delivered by th e President. We are likewise without any authorita' tive summary or indication of its contents, although various journals pretend to indicate with confidenc e its developments on various points of policy. According to one report, i n r e f e r e nc e to the grey , t centre of contention, General Tayl o r will put fort' certain recommendations of a character so moderat e as to unite the support of the majority of the repro' sentatives. An angry spirit prevails, however, throughout the Union, and in one, if not more of the state messages, may be found calls addressed to CO O. gross to decide at once, and at any risk, the question of the Central Power's authority in reference t ° slavery. Our advices state that daily from the date of oil previous letters to that of the accounts now received ballotiegs had been held ; 32 had been taken, Messrs , Winthrop (Whig) and Cobb (Democratic) being th e leading candidates. Subsequently the favour of. the latter candidate diminished, and Mr. Polter was Pe t forth in his place. That position he mai n tained bu t f for two ballots, and then gave place to Mr. 8r0wn0,.. 6 Indiana.
