The year which is now rapidly drawing to a conclusion, and which in a few short hours will be numbered with the past, is, perhaps, the most extraordinary that has been witnessed by any person who cannot draw on the experience of at least fifty summers, and recall the stirring events of 1814 and 1815 to his mind. Then we were engaged in a great war against a truly noble adversary. The fate of Europe —of the world— hung suspended in the balance. The enemy of forty years since, is now our faithful, efficient, and cherished ally. The Bonaparte dynasty has been restored to the Imperial Throne, and the nep h ew of the hero, whom our fathers strained every nerr• to hurl from his elevated position, is re garded with love, respect, and admiration by every true-hearted Englishman. Public attention has been mainly directed to the scenes in the Crimea, but political, fiscal, finan cial, and commercial events, of no ordinary mag nitude and importance, have occurred, which occasioned great excitement and interest for the time. We have had sundry Ministerial changes. The Premiership was for a season literally going a begging. It was finally accepted by Lord PAL MERSTON, who, by extraordinary tact and ability, but still more by the steady and unflinching resolution to maintain the honour and interests of Great Britain, and to reap the legitimate results of the sacrifices to which the people so cheerfully submitted, contrived to overcome difficulties that might have appalled men of less energy and de termination. These difficulties were far greater than was generally supposed. It wag not merely the pressure from without that the new Premier had to withstand ; there were also internal dissen sions and secret influences which it was indeed difficult to control. But, notwithstanding every obstacle, he has, by the force of genius and steady determination, strengthened and consoli dated his power, and placed it on a firm and, We trust, durable basis. At the close of the preceding year considerable hopes were entertained by some credulous politi cians of an early peace, in consequence of Aus trian intervention and the Treaty of the 2d of December, to which FRANCIS JOSEPH was a party, and which seemed to show no loophole for evading the obligations thereby assumed. We, however, were too well aware of the insincerity and dupli city of the Power with w h om we were dealing to place any reliance oa ita fidelity. We pointed out the laxity and doubtful nature of the contract, and warned our readers not to be misled by any vain anticipations as to Austria t a ki ng an active part in the War, or forcing unpalalabla terms on time twin despotism at St. Petersburg. Lord ABERDEEN was, however, willing to hop s against all reasonable probability. He was so ffilfully blind that there was no necessity for ex:t rao rdinary skill to deceive him or those who ad , J),1413d his views and carried out his policy. A dam ►nd for further time by Prince GORTSCHAKOFF to c C nsider " the Four Points " which had been for warded through the Cabinet of Vienna was the wefore readily concede'', and when tho then Cr AR accepted the terms, and a conference was ar ranged to carry them into practical operation, joyyous paeans were chaunted for the rapidly ap , proaching peace. Be it remembered that it was not merely " the Points " that were aureed to. There was also a very clear and distinct explanation added, and the AtiTe.• GRAZ` consented to open negotiations on the Allies' interpretation of the Four Points. We ' have seen how that apparently candid profession was subsequently falsified ; how Austria, too, was found wanting when the time had arrived for ful filling the promises she had made. Procrastina tion was palpably the object of both Powers, and that was achieved to a great extent, little being done to carry on the operations of the War on a suitable scale. While these matters were pending our august Ally adopted early and energetic measures to ob tain the sinews of war. At the close of 1854 ',notice was given that a loan of 500,000,000 francs, or 20,000,0001. sterling, would be re cruired. The Senate and Corps Legislatif promptly and gracefully responded to the Imperial requisi t ion, and plenary powers were given to enter into t'he necessary arrangements. The EMPEROR did not, ilowever, go to any single capitalist•: or body of cr:pitalists. Ho appealed at once to his people, stating what he required, and offering fair and reasonable terms. There was no petty higgling, no attempt to get more than would be accepted. Each man knew exactly what he was to give and to receive. He saw that there were no middlemen to absorb the profits, and that every applicant would receive exactly the same treatment—the only privilege granted being to the less wealthy subscribers, who inscribed their names for less than 500 francs, or 201., of Rentes. These were to receive the full amount of their subscriptions before anything was given to those seeking more weighty investments. The result was that the full amount was absorbed, and the privileged sub scribers were compelled to abate some 42 per cent. on their claims—the applications under 500 francs Rentes being for no less than 836,000,000 francs, while the total amount of all classes reached the gigantic sum of two thousand one hundred and seventy-five millions, or 87,000,0001. ster ling ! Just before the meeting of Parliament the sym pathy and indignation of the people were excited by the accounts of the fearful sufferings of our gallant soldiers in the Crimea, who were simulta neously enduring intense toil and severe priva tions. The carelessness and apathy which led to such deplorable results provoked well-merited censure, and the ABERDEEN Ministry reached the acme of unpopularity. Lords PALMERSTON, CLA RENDON, and JOHN RUSSELL, and Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH being the only members of the Ca binet that di l not fall under the general condem , nation. On the day of meeting Mr. ROEBUCK at once " took the bull by the horns," by giving notice of a Select Committee to inquire into the conduct and management •f the War. This de rived additional importance from the fact that before the appointed day Lord Joux RUSSELL abandoned his colleagues and resigned his seat in the Cabinet, on the ground that he could not resist tke demand for in vestigation. This strange proceeding, which was strongly animadverted on by all the Minis terialists and " waiters on PROVIDENCE," sealed the fate of the Joint-Stock Administration, and rendered the result of the approaching discussion a foregone conclusion. Mr. ROEBUCK, though suf fering severely from illness and physical incapa city, discharged his duty with that "pluck " for which he has been so long distinguished; and, on the division, his proposition was affirmed by a majority of 157 in a House of 457 (including, tellers). This, of course, which was accepted by Ministers as a vote of censure, led to the resigna tion of Lord ABERDEEN, and the Earl of DERBY was sent for by her MAJESTY and entrusted with powers to form a new Cabinet. The Noble Lord at once entered into negotia tions for that purpose, but failed in the attempt. He felt that the co-operation of Lord PALMERSTON was indispensable ; but he committed the grave mistake of wanting Mr. GLADSTONE and Mr. S. HERBERT also to take office. In Lord PALMER STON'S case, too, he did not tender the particular office indicated by the voice of public opinion. He was to be Leader of the House of Commons—Mr. DISRAELI having withdrawn his very powerful claims to that honourable post—but ho was not o f fered the Secretaryship of War, for which he was se peculiarly qualified. This grave mistake led to the termination of the negotiations, and Lord DERBY was compelled to announce to ker MAJESTY the total failure of his efforts to form a strong Government, capable of meeting the emer gency. Lord JOHN RUSSELL was next applied to, but a few short hours showed his incapacity for the task. None would trust to the guidance that had so recently upset the coach, and he was also obliged to confess his inability to perform the twit assigned by his Sovereign. Lord PALMERSTON'S turn at length arrived. The Noble Lord speedily discharged the duty, and a list of the new Cabinet was submitted for Royal approval. But it was nothing more than a mere "shuffling of the cards." The condemned pack still remained. GLADSTONE and GRAHAM retained their posts, while HERBERT was elevated to the Rome Secretary the responsible position of FT blood "bei ng th e appoint only "infusion of new ent of Lord PAN3fURE as Secretary for War. This clinging to the rump of Aberdeenisna Would have irretrievably ruined the prospects of the pAL.. IIERSTON Administration; but, fortunately for ki in, the Aberdeenites, puffed up with pride and vanity, kicked at the ROEBUCK inquiry and resigned their places, because the new Premier would not stake tho existence of his Ministry on opposing the in• vestigation that had been carried by a majority o more than two to one of the popular representatives Having thus fortunately got rid of GLADSTONE, GRAHAM, HERBERT, and CARDWELL Who stuck to his party till the last, and steadfastly resisted the blandishments by which he was assailed), the Ministry was again modified. Sir GEORGE GRRY was transferred from the Colonies to the Home- Of fice, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who bad already started for Vienna, as Plenipotentiary on the part of England, being appointed to the Colonial De partment ; Sir GEORGE CORNEWALL LEWIS being made Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Sir CHARLES Woon transferred to the Admiralty, the Presidency of the India Board being conferred on Mr. VERNON SMITH. There were other minor changes—none of which were very well received—the most unsatisfactory being the trans fer of Mr. FREDERICK PEEL to the Under Secre- taryship of War. Su:th was the state of affairs when the Parliamentary caroPaigain commenced THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY .EVENING, DECEMBER 31, 1855 ' in earnest, and Lord PALMERSTON had to main tain his post against every corner. Just at this time Europe was startled by the intelligence of the death of the Emperor NICHO LAS, after a very brief and rapid illness. The AUTOCRAT fell a victim on the 2d of March to his own arrogance and ambition. Mortification at the fearful consequences in which he had involved his country, being, perhaps, his chief disease, and the tidings of the victory gained by OMER PACHA at Eupatoria bringing on the crisis. Not withstanding the belief that an attempt would be made to place the Archduke CONSTANTINE—the turbulent leader of the War party—on the throne, the Cesarewitch ALEXANDEa sue ceeded without difficulty or disturbance. The hopes that had been formed from his supposed peace propensities were, how ever, dissipated by the proclamation with which his accession was inaugurated, in which ho pro fessed his unflinching determination to pursue the traditional policy of Russia—the policy of PETER and CATHERINE, and their successors. The " hair-splitting diplomacy" at Vienna soon followed—in which Lord JOHN RUSSELL committed political suicide, sacrificing any rem nant of character which he had previously retained. Disregarding the very clear and distinct instruc tions which had been delivered for his guidance, he suffered himself to be cajoled by Austria, and promised to support with all his influence the sinister and inadequate propositions which had been put forward by Count BUOL. M. DROUYN DE L'HWYS, who had been similarly misled, was forthwith removed from office by our august Ally ; but Lord JOHN RUSSELL Still clung to place, and thereby seriously imperilled the existence of the English Cabinet. His colleagues—or rat he r bare majority—fortunately remained firm, the views of the French EMPEROR turning the scale at the decisive moment. While the conferences were still pending NA a demonstration again st Riga, commenced and concluded the exploits of the Allied squadrons in the Baltie. ' were sugar the most profitable crop in the world, and. had Jamaica been the best soil fur it, its cultivation was carried on after a fashion that, slave or no slave, could not but have ended in ruin. The proprietors of the soil and the slave gangs that cultivated it lived, as we showed awhile back, in luxury here, leaving the man agement of their estates in the hands of attorneys, who took special care to make a good thing of it, and to give the capitalist a chance of getting good interest out of them by way of mortgage. The result was when the day of emancipation came it found a large body of the proprietors little more than nominally owners—land, slaves, and all being heavily mortgaged. Slavery, that foul system on which humanity can hardly utter too prolonged a curse, being branded bone deep and sent adrift, left the plausible demon of Pro tection in its place to plague the old tyrants, and Protection, in its turn, left Compensation, which troubles the planters now. Fcrtunately the Jamaica press is taking them in hand, and, how ever glad we may be of this, they ought to be more so, the advice it gives being the best that can be given ; for let them rest assured that, knowing what the British public know, they would as lief see Jamaica a desert as remunerate a quondam slave-owner for his folly and laziness. The return visit of her MAJESTY and Prince ALBERT to the Emperor and Empress of the FRENCH proved how fully the kindly feelings of the English were reciprocated by their French brethren, and afforded powerful evidence of the cordial and, we trust, durable alliance that pre vails between these mighty peoples, the great champions of liberty and civilisation. On the Bth of September the long -anticipated attack on tho Malakhoff took place. The French troops seized the disputed position by a very brilliant coup, and maintained it despite the most energetic efforts to regain the decisive ground —the gallant onslaught by the English on the Redan, which has immortalised the name of General WYNDHA.2I, having created a very valuable diversion in their favour. The eva cuation of the South side of Sebastopol, and the destruction of the •scanty remnant of the Russian Black Sea Fleet immedi ately followed, and the standing menace to Con stantinople and to Europe was thus at length de prived of its sting. The capture of Kinbourn and the occupation of the portals to Nicolaieff and Kherson followed. It was, however, too late for any decisive opera tions during the present year. Much valuable time had been lost, and we must patiently wait the return of spring for further efforts. Kars has unfortunately fallen. The noble defence which 30 strongly excited the popular entkusiasm proved unavailing. The heroes who so greatly signalised themselves are prisoners to the Russians, and it will be the first duty cf Government to retrieve Cho Lioriow. loss thus occasioned. On tho whole. although our triumphs have not been unalloyed, we have every reason to be satisfied with the military events of the year, and to look forward hopefully to the future, when more energetic and determined efforts will, doubtless, produce cor responding results. POLEON and EUGENIE became the honoured guests of Queen VICTORIA. Never was a more enthu siastic and cordial reception bestowed upon a foreign potentate than that which, on the 16th of April, greeted our faithful and honoured Ally. It was not merely lip-service ; it was the welcome of an entire nation to one who had well-merited its approbation. A cordial greeting that flowed from the heart—the "cead mine failthc" of our brethren west of St. George's Channel. That greeting will not, cannot be forgotten by the great man on whom it was bestowed, and it must cement and render paramount the union between the mighty peoples, whose friendship will not be the less firm or enduring because they were so long arrayed in hostile ranks, and completely mis understood each other. So, after all, it is Austria that is to gain the benefit of the sacrifices of men and money to which the peoples of France and England have so freely and willingly consented. The free naviga tion of the Danube, by which Austria will be the chief gainer, is the main object of the new proposals, and that is to be attained by the cession of that part of Bessarabia which lies between the Fortress of Chotzn on the north, the Salt Lake !Sasik, on the south, and the Pru th on the west. Three weeks are given for the consideration of this proposition, which Russia will doubtless turn to the best ad vantage. The termination of the Vienna Conferences led to increased activity in the Crimea. The Allied Powers clearly perceived the nature and extent of the deception to which they had been subjected, and seemed determined by increased activity to make amends for their previous credulity. About the middle of May General CANROBERT resigned the command of the French army, and was re placed by General, now Field-Marshal, PELISSIER. The results of this important change were speedily perceptible. The greatest activity was manifested on every side. An expedition was despatched to Kertch, Arabat, and the Sea of Azoff, which achieved a series of almost bloodless triumphs of vast importance. In the neighbourhood of Se bastopol, the French troops attacked, on the 24th May, the Russian position between the Central Bastion and the sea, and captured it with immense slaughter. And this was speedily followed on the 7th Juno by the capture of the " Mamelon Vert" and two redoubts on Careening Bay, while the English signalised themselves by the brilliant capture of the Rifle Pits, from whence the enemy had been enabled to cause very considerable annoyance to our troops. Meanwhile the suc cesses in the Sea of Azoff surpassed the most sanguine anticipations that had been formed, and a series of heavy blows were inflicted on the enemy without any loss worth noticing. On the 18th June, a memorable day for France and England, a simultaneous attack was made on the Malakhoff and Great Redan by the French and English troops. The plan was of a similar character to that which three months subsequently proved decisive, and accomplished the object of the tedious siege. Although the officers and men engaged in behaved with the utmost gallantry and resolution, they were for the time being foiled, and very deplorable losses were sustained by the daring assailants. Lord RAGLAN only survived this melancholy catastrophe ten days. It was said that intense mortification hastened his death. Although we had been compelled occasionally to notice shortcomings, we participated in the deep regret universally entertained for the gallant de ceased, and rejoiced in the substantial marks of gratitude conferred on his widow and successor. Peace to his honoured remains! He was a chival rous and high-minded man, who well maintained and enhanced the dignity of his ancient and time honoured family. While these matters were taking place in the East, "The Hango Massacre," as it was justly termed, excited the deepest indignation of the people. The wanton and treacherous attack on an unarmed boat's crew, while engaged in a mis sion of mercy in restoring Russian captives to liberty, and under the sacred protection of a flag of truce, exhibited the brutality of the cowardly assassins engaged in the strongest light ; and the attempted, but singularly lame, vindication of the " Unus seminat alter metat" is a time-honoured apophthegm, but never was it more powerfully illustrated. The Western Powers distributed the good seed—the skulker, who left others to bear the brunt of the encounter, takes the lion's share of the profit. French and English blood has abundantly manured the crop. French and English capital has been lavishly expended iu the work, but the pro duce is garnered by Austria for its own peculiar aggrandisement. This would indeed be a very ludicrous termination to the struggle ; one only paralleled in the fable which describes the fox as stepping in between the exhausted lion and tiger, and bearing away the spoil for which the more generous combatants had been so fiercely contend ing. We cannot, however, conceive that such a scheme could be accepted. The nobler animals are not so grievously exhausted as to submit to bitch a termination of the War. The free navigation of the Danube is de cidedly a matter of considerable magnitude, but it is not the question for which France and England have unsheathed their Brforda and it is of very secondary importance when compared with the security of the Ottoman empire, and ade quate guarantees for the permanent tranquillity of Europe, together with a reasonable indemnity for the expenses which we have sustained in re sisting the unwarrantable attack of the uncon scientious aggressor. The late rise in the price of sugar has naturally enough directed attention to the various scenes of its production, and more especially to America and the West India islands, and with results far from unsatisfactory to the philanthropist and the Treetrader. In America it is found that the accursed system of slavery is working its own de struction, and in the West India islands that a perception of past error, and of the to us long ob vious policy necessary to insure future prosperity, is fast dawning on the minds of the population. The production of sugar in the United States is, it would appear, being attended with more and more difficulty. Etch succeeding year poor Quashes is rising in price as a marketable commodity, and in resolution as a reasming animal. Not only is ho bad to buy, but had to keep when he is lsought. He looks the "stars" in the face, turns the cold shoul der to the "stripes," and finds when ho can in the Canadas a refuge from the tender mercies of Uncle SA3d, who loves liberty too well to cast it to the slave. The consequences are, less and less sugar is being produced, prices rise, and the pros pects of the West and East India planters rise with them, the increased cost of production in America promising them, if they choose to avail themselves of the opportunity, a greatly improved position in, if not the command of, the market. Taking all things into consideration, we by no means question the policy adopted by this country in paying for the emancipation of the slave, the principles of free trade being then little under stood ; but we must say that, were there slaves in any of our colonies now to be emancipated their freedom would scarcely be purchased. Turning to Jamaica, we find the Kingston atrocious act materially lowered the Russian cha- ractor in French and English eyes. The discovery of the infernal machines laid down in the Baltic, by the explosion of one of which Rear-Admiral SEYMOTJR, and several of his officers, were seri ously wounded, added to Vie disgust enter tained for an enemy who had so manifestly dis regarded every chivalrous maxim. During this month the bankruptcy of one of the oldest private banks in London, and the discovery of grave frauds committed by the partners, produced in- Journal furnishing a sufficient answer to th© memorial of a member of the Jamaica Association (whatever that is), presented to Lord JOHN tense excitement. In March the detection of JOSEPH WINDLE COLE revealed a deep-laid sys tem of commercial fraud and turpitude. The flight of Messrs. GORDON and DAVIDSON fol lowed ; and the arrest of Messrs. STRAHAN, BATES, and Sir JOHN DEAN PAUL occasioned a deep sen sation in city circles. The Report of the Sebas topol Committee was also made during this month ; and various demonstrations against the Pharisaical Bill of Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR clearly indicated the dangerous nature of the ground on which the Sabbatarian party were so recklessly trespassing. RUSSELL in July last. The memorialist, as will be seen in this day's Herald, complains of the in adequacy of the price paid to the Jamaica planters for their " property" in human flesh and blood, and seeks compensation in more cash or renewed protection, in order to save them from ruin. The Kingston Journal is of opinion that the causes of the adversity complained of are under their own control, and that they have only to exercise a little common sense in order to get footing on the highway to prosperity. Instead of whining like baffled blood-hounds for compensation from us, he, in effect, advises -them to adopt measures calculated to giro C3Ol- R fe u eb ss l:n t e L s 's s were political char ac - July completed the destructi on o f th e slender clearly ex rteerm. n a an is ts v o a f ci L ll o a r t d ion Jo a H n N d posed on his own confession. His sacrifice was es- penzation, to however small an extent, to us. He points out in a word the necessity of adopting sential to the safety of the rest of the Ministry, an d the political JONAH was flung overboard, and Sir an improved mode of producing sugar, and where the production of sugar is not likely to pay the cultivation of articles of commerce adapted to the WILLIAM MOLESWORTII substituted in bi place. The change saved the Government, which from thence materially improved in the public estima soil. This is sensible advice, though rather late in corning, being precisely that we gave the West Indian planters long ago, the facts on which it was eliminated being of the most obvious descrip tion. For instance, the growth of sugar is com paratively modern in Jamaica, its first value as a tion. Several formidable attacks were successfully resisted, and Lord PALMERSTON acquired a very considerable accession of strength in consequence of his manly and judicious conduct. commercial dependency arising from its indigo, hides, &c., and afterwards its coffee.

The Earl of Clarendon and Colonel Steele (Coldstream Guards), late Military Secretary to the Commander•in- Chief in the Crimea, arrived yesterday afternoon on a visit to her Majesty. The dinner party included her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, her Royal Highness the Princess Royal, his Serene Highness Prince Ernest of Leiningen, the Belgian Minister and Madame Van. de Weyer, Lady Fanny Howard, Lady Alfrsd Paget, the Earl of nkrend... , , Sir George o..par Si r .T..m.s Clarke Mr. and Lady Fran ces B a il l i e, and Colonel Steele. , The band of the Grenadier Guards played during dinner. The following had the honour of being invited after dinner:—Lady Caroline Barrington, Major-General the Hon. C. B. and Mrs. Phipps, Colonel and Lady Emily Seymour, the Provost of Eton, Mr. Becker, and Mr. Gibbs. A musical performance took place in the evening. Her Majesty's private band was in attendance, under the direction of Mr. Anderson. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by Prince Ernest of Leiningen, went out shooting this morning. The Princess Royal and Princess Alice, Prince Arthur, aid the Princesses Helena and Louisa drove out in open car riages. The Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred went to Lon don this afternoon, and attended Mr. Faraday's lecture at the Royal Institution. Sir C. Eastlake, President of the Boyal Academy, and Mr. Knight, Secretary, had an audience of her Majesty. The Earl of Clarendon and Col. Steele (Coldstream Guards) have left the Castle. There was no addition to the Royal dinner party. THE MEETING OF PARLIAMENT. It is understood that, among other matters, the topics to be introduced into the Queen's Speech on the opening of Parliament will probably be discussed at the Cabinet Council on Thursday next, preparatory to the document being submitted to the Privy Council, which is to be held at Windsor a fortnight hence. It is estimated that a sum of from 20,000,0001. to 25,000,0001. will be required to meet the demands on the Treasury for war and general expenditure to the sth of April next; and it is alleged that Ministers are divided in opinion as to the best process of providing this defi• ciency. Sir Charles Wood, it is said, actually recom mends that the Income Tax should be increased to 10 per cent., or 2s. in the pound, a proposal worthy of a Whig financier, but as unwise and unjust as it would assuredly prove unacceptable to the country. We trust that, notwithstanding the machinations of those who would make the war distasteful, the Cabinet of Lord Palmerston may reject this imprudent proposal, and per severe in the original intention of raising the necessary expenditure by loan, avoiding all interference with the ordinary taxation.—Morning Advertiser. THE NEW F.RENCLi GRAND ARMY. The Paris correspondent of the Times (second edition), in his letter of yesterday, says : " The brief harangue addressed by the Emperor yesterday to the troops assembled on the Place de la Bastille will do away with any effect which may have been created by the supposition that the late pamphlet on the Congress for the pacification of Europe was traceable to a high source. That harangue you may consider as the best commentary on the decree for the organisation of the Imperial Guard, and which appeared in the Monitcur two days ago. When the Minister of War says in his report which precedes the Decree that "the moment is oprortune for constituting this select body on a larger basis, by in troducing the excellent elements which the army of the East can now provide it with," he expresses strictly the truth, but it was left for the spirited address of yesterday to complete his meaning. The intention is that the Im perial Guard, and the other corps that have fought in the Crimea, and shared in the hardships and dangers of a pro tracted siege and a sanguinary assault, shall form the nucleus of an army which can be directed to any point where its services shall be required. I have no difficulty in supposing that that point will be on the Rhine in case Russia does not accept the conditions we propose to her, and in case Germany again allows itself to be in timidated or seduced by our enemy. Nay, more, if peace be not concluded this winter, if the spring still Bees Prus sia timid and uncertain, not to say hostile to us, and Rus sia still obstinate, I have no doubt that the next campaign will commence on a scale commensurate with the power of the two greatest nations of the earth, and that the war will then become one a l'outrance. The grand army to which the speech of the Emperor refers, and of which the Guard and its companions in arms are to form the centre, is destined fur great things, and fertile in events as the year which is just going out has been, it may be far less rich in material for the historian of the present war than the one on which we are about to enter. Two camps of 100,000 men each will, it is believed, be formed without delay on the French territory, and serve as schools of instruction, to be swelled by successive arrivals from the Crimea. In the Crimea it is said that our united forces—French, English, Piedmonteee, and Turks —are not less than 200,000, and are far too numerous in a place where ac tive operations are not soon expected. Their services will be more valuable elsewhere. It is said, therefore, that only sufficient troops will be left in the Crimea to keep the positions we now occupy, and which will be strengthened so as to defy any force that can by any pos sibility be brought against them. The rest will probably be called back to France to form part of the immense host which is destined to put an end to the Russian question for ever. Russia had better look to it in time. She is looking to it, and she is now, as when I informed you a week or two ago, doing her utmost to regain by her diplomacy what she has lost by defeat on the field of battle. I told you a few days ago that we were not so sa tisfied with Prussia as we were a week previously. Con sidering the:sort of incomprehensible man we have to deal with that news could have surprised no one. It is now an ascertained fact ; Prussia has been one' moment pro mising and making engagements, and the next moment talking and acting as if no such promises or engagements had ever been so much as hinted at. She is dawdling between honour and dishonesty, between courage and cowardice, and the benefit of the doubt she will no assuredly have. She must make up her mind soon however, under which King, Bezonian, speak or die The winter will soon pass away." CABINET COUNCIL.—On Thursday next the 3d of ,Tan. a Cabinet Council will be held at the Foreign-office, Downing-street, the summonses for which were issued a few days ago. Lord Palmerston, who is now at Broad lands with Lord Palmerston, receiving a party of visi tors comes to town on Thursday morning to attend the meeting. The other members of the Cabinet, the great majority of whom are absent from London, will return to town on that day, in order to be present at the Council. Despatches from the Governors of the Australian colo nies and New Zealand, and also from the Governor of Heligoland, were received on Saturday at the Colonial office. SOUTHAMPTON, Dec. 29.—Lady Palmerston, accom panied by their Excellencies the Turkish, Danish, Swedish, and Sardinian Ministers, paid a visit to the Southamp ton Docks this afternoon, and were apparently much gratified with their examination of the many magnificent steam-ships now in the basin, in which they were at tended by Mr. Hedger, the dockmaster. The distin guished party also inspected the United States' mail steam-ship Washington in the great gravingdock, which ship, it is no w ascer t a i ne d , h as rece i ve d nu injury, be yond damage to the copper, during her temporary stranding on the Long Sand on the 22d inst.

He had his first inter view with M. de Nesselrode on the 28th, but w e as yet know absolutely nothing of what passed, if indeed anything important took place at this first conference. VIENNA, SUNDAY. Tho day before yesterday Count Buol commu nicated the terms of peace to Prince Gortschakoff. They are those mentioned in The Sun of th• 12th of December. By the cession of so much of the territory of Bessarabia as is necessary to secure to all nations the free navigation of the Danube, is meant the cession of that part of Bessarabia which lies be tween the Fortress of Chotyn on the north, the Salt Lake Sasyk on the south, and the Pruth on the west. Three weeks from the day of delivery is the time allowed for consideration. The foregoing is authentic. MARSEILLES, DEC. 30. Accounts from Constantinople, of the 20th, state that Prince Callimaki is appointed Ottoman Ambassador at Vienna. Dui ing the skbsence of Sir Rimund Lyons, Ad miral Freeman tle assumes the command provi- sionally. The squadron of Admiral Stewart, which was at Smyrna, sailed thence on the 16th for Athens. The Caradoc with Admiral Lyons has arrived. The steamer Europeen has arrived with 1,200 troops from the Crimea. BERLIN, SUNDAY. Colonel Manteuffel, aide-de-camp of his Ma jesty, left Berlin this afternoon, for Dresden, on a special mission. He afterwards proceeded to Vienna. By an imperial ukase, dated the 21st inst., Prince Mensehikoff is appointed Military Governor- General of Cronstadt, with all the rights and powers appertaining to a General-in -Chief in time of war. The Journal de Constantinople gives the latest news from Omer Paella. It comes down to the sth instant. At tha period the Ottoman army was encamped on this side of the River Siva, and its advance was ren dered impossible by the overflowing of that river. The army of Erzeroum is to be increased to 35,000 men. ror was so satisfied with the men that, in addition to the marks of satisfaction given to the differs ut generals, h e p resen t e d to eac h so ldi er a gratificaties of three silver roubles, a larger sum than is gene' rally given, the usual sum being one or two. This corps has been formed for the purpose of re sisting any attempt on the part of the Allies to effect a landing next spring on the coast of th . e Baltic.

The members of the Ambassador's suite were afterwards presented to his Majesty. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY. The latest despatches that have reached Paris from Sebastopol state that the mining of the docks was nearly complete. The allied armies were in excellent condition, and had every comfort. Large quantities of winter stores had, it was supposed, reached the enemy. The Russians continued to fortify their positions, and such points as com manded their roads of communication (Dec. 18). We hoar that Omer Pacha's army will soon be considerably increased. It is well known that Austria is taking a most ' active part in pressing Prussia and the small Ger man States to use their influence for urging Rus sia to approach peace. On the other hand the agents of the Czar seek to persuade the German Courts not to do anything of the sort, assuring them that by the spring the scale will turn in favour of Ho]y Russia, when they may throw in their weight to consolidate that European policy which they desire to see triumph. All the information which reaches here leads to the conclusion that Russia will go on with the war, and the pr9parations for another campaign are obvious throughout the em pire. _ _ Last night the streets of Paris were gaily illumi nated ; the Boulevards and all the principal tho roughfares of the city were crowded with pedes trians in holiday humour. A grand military fete yesterday closed the most eventful year which France has witnessed since the days of Napoleon I. It is difficult to over-estimate the significance of the universal homage which the people of Paris yesterday paid to the Sovereign of their choice. The soldiers, who yesterday made their triumphal entry into Paris, received 2f. each, which they ex pended in a banquet, which took place in their respective quarters. To-night the theatre of Porte Saint Martin is thrown open to the heroes of Se bastopol. Variou s p r i vate part i es h ave been given to the officers. Amongst the varied illuminations last night, in honour of the Crimean heroes, the Maisou Doree put up the following verses :-- "France, jamais to n'eus dejour plus beau, Grace aux heron dela Crimea Lafille dela grande armee Console sa mere au tombeau." ' There were all sorts of glittering compliments in most of the principal streets, such as " lionneur aux braves marins Fran!lais," " Bomarsund,°' sobastopol," " Tractar," "Inkerman," " Alma," s weaborg," " Kinbour n ," " Mer Baltique," cc 1854-1855," "Mer Noire," (Sze. The ar m y of Franc* must feel that their devotion and glory is participated in and fully appreciated by their friends at home. All the Paris journals aro occupied with the mi litary fete of yesterday, and do not offer any other attraction. The King of Prussia, on the report of General de \Vedell, has ordered the construction of a rail way from the frontier of Luxembourg to Saarbourg by Troves, a bill for which will be presented to the Chambers. The King of Sweden has conferred the Order of the Seraphims on C oun t W a l ews ki , th e F rench Minister of Foreign Affairs. Count Walewski, on Saturday, signed a tele graphic convention with M. Masud, director- general of the Belgian telegraphs ; General Math°, direc tor-general of those of Spain ; Chevalier Bonnelli, of those of Sardinia, and Dr. Brunner of those of Switzerland. By this arrangement a uniform tariff has been established which is much lower than that which previously existed for the transmission of despatches between France and the above named countries. The Emperor and Empress honoured the theatre of the Porte St. Martin with their presence last evening to witness the performance of La Boulan gere a des Ecus. The Moniteur publishes the text of the decree promulgating the fresh postal convention entered into between France and England, making a re duction in the charges on newspapers and printed papers of all descriptions sent through the post office between the two countries. The Moniteur publishes a decree of the Minister of Public Instruction, containing regulations for the organisation of the superior division of the Normal School, for the education of teachers. The Algeria frigate has just left Toulon with provisions and materiel for the Crimea. USA. We have receiv e d the St. l Petersburg journals of the 22d December. The Invalidc Busse publishes the following " Under date of the Bth (20th) of December, Aide de-Camp General Prince Gortschakoff has sent the following : " 'On the 4th (16th) of December two eotnia,s of Cossacks of the Black Sea defeated, near liertch, a strong squadron of the Anglo-Turkish cavalry of General Vivian. In this affair the commander of the squadron, an English officer, and 47 men, were made prisoners. "Elsewhere, all goes on well in the Crimea.' " A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 20th says de Fonton, the Russian Minister at the Court of Hanover, has arrived hero, a nd imme diately after had a conference with Count de Nes selrode, but he has not yet been received by the Emperor.

PRUSSIA. - - - BERLIN, Dec. 29.—1 t is stated here by persons whose position bring them in coEtact with mim hors of the Government, that Count Valentin Esterhazy has met with no very flattering recep tion on his return to St. Petersburg. In a letter from Paris it is affirmed that— " At this moment in St. Petersburg all the chances 0 . f an attack on Cro ns t a dt are b e i ng well weighed ; if it 1 . 11 found that St. P e t ers b urg i s perfectly safe, the propoin• tions will be rejected ; if, on the contrary, the attack has any chance of success, matters will be allowed to come to a Congr e ss, b u t no t to any mere Conference. " The Post Ampt Gazette contains a letter from Dresden, which says It is rumoured in quar ters which ought to be well-informed that Rusals is disposed to accept the condition of the Black Sea being made a mare clausum, open only to trading vessels, on condition that the neutrality shall commence at Smyrna, and consequently apply to part of the Egean Sea. Russia bases, it is said, this condition on the reason that, when once the Black Sea was declared neutral, the Western Powers would not have any need of a naval sta tion beyond Smyrna, either for their own stifetY or for that of Turkey." OMER PACHA'S ARMY. The Patiic publishes a letter from Constantinople of the 18th inst., in which it is said : "As misfortunes never come singly the rumour is current among the public that Omer Pacha, on approaching Kutais, encountered unexpected ob stacles, which rendered an attack on that city almost impossible. It is said to be defended by numerous garrison, while at the same time a con siderable auxiliary corps keeps the field, and threatens to fall on Omer Pacha's small force." Other accounts from Constantinople agree with the earlier intelligence by way of St. Petersburg, that the Turkish general had fallen back on Redout Kaleh, THE BLACK SEA FLEET. KAZATCH BAY, Dec. 13.—The following ships are in harbour, viz., her Majesty's ships Royal Albert, Gladiator, Leopard, Odin, Terrible, High flyer, Valorous, Firebrand, Spiteful, Cyclops, Simoom, Medina, Danube, Brenda ; floating bat teries Glatton and Meteor ; store-ship Apollo ; gun-boats Lynx and Beagle. The Simoom arrived on the 11th from England. The Mwgara sailed on the 10th for a cargo of bul locks for the fleet. Mr. Rees, Muter Commander of the Cyclops, is appointed Harbour Master. Dr. Ryan, super numerary surgeon of the Royal Albert, is ap pointed to the Spiteful, vice Surgeon Vans. C. Clarke, invalided, and recommended to remain in Malta Naval Hospitil for the winter. The vacancy caused by the death from cholera of Surgeon Corbett, of the St. Jean d'Acre, has not yet been filled up, but it is supposed that the Admiral's patronage will be conferred on either Assistant-Surgeon Cameron, of the Beagle (senior on the station), or Assistant-Surgeon Watson, of the Highfiyer. A court-martial was held on the 11th on Mr. Deheny, second master of the Lynx, on a charge of cowardice during the action against the forts of Kinbourn. He was found guilty, and sentenced to be hanged. Blue at the main was hoisted on board of the Royal Albert on the morning of the 12th. A few cases of scurvy have made their appearance on board of the Royal Albert. A suit of warm clothing and a pair of boots have been supplied gratuitously to the marine guard of the temporary dockyard at Kazatch. The Banshee sailed a week ago to Varna—she goes home shortly, as her boilers are very defective. THE MURDER IN THE MINORIES. Latest Particulars. ---(This Day.) Yesterday (Sunday) morning a crowd of idle persons of both sexes assembled in front of the late residence of the murderer, Corrigan, and several police constables of the H division were in attendance, in Selby-street East, Waterloo-town, to preserve order among the curious, who were anxious to catch a glimpse of the visitors to the four unfortunate children who have been left in the care of Mrs. How, the sister of the deceased woman. Oa Saturday afternoon, shortly before one o'clock, Mrs. How proceeded to the House of Deter tion, Clerk enwell, with the articles the prisoner directed her to bring to the gaol. She had the eldest girl with her, bat she was r.ot admit•ed to the prison, as the father and brother of Corrigan bad just visited him in the cell, and, in accord ance w i t h th e pr i son regulations, she was di• rected by the turnkey to attend at twelve o'clock to-day. The clothes were taken from her, and subsequently they were handed to the prisoner. The interview between Corrigan and his father and brother in the cell was of a painful character. The pri soner exclaimed, "Oh, father !" and at the same moment he embraced his aged parent with deep emotion, *ad in a parcxysit of grief ho shook hands with his brother and pressed him to his bosom. The meeting was of short duration, and in a few minutes the prisoner was again in the care of a keeper. It seems that since his incarceration in thel gaol he has been several times employed in writing to his friends, and yesterday morning he attended Divine worship in the prison. Inspector Gernon has been to a great number of shops in the cutlery trade, and from what transpired on Satur day afternoon there seems but very little doubt that the fatal knife with which the murder was committed was purchased at the warehouse of Messrs. Davis and Son, 69, Leadenhall-street, City. The knife is precisely simi lar to those kept in stock, except that the one taken from Corrigan has no maker's name. It is a remarkable fact that this is the shop where Blakesley (who was executed for the murder in East. cheap, some years since) purchased the butcher's knife shortly before that dreadful tragedy was perpetrated by him. This morning, a number of benevolent persons com menced a subscription in behalf of the four poor children. Mrs. Burton and Mrs. Fearon, who sustained suoh serious injuries on the arms and hands in the struggle for the knife, are still in a weakly condition, and the former is yet under the care of Mr. Cooke, the surgeon. POLICE INTELLIGENCE_ This Day.) SOUTHWARK. THIEVES AND RECEIVERS.—Thomas William Skelton, a young man in the employ of Mr. Keightley, whole sale fruit dealer in the BoroUgh-market, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with stealing a bushel of nuts, and Thomas Evans, a fruiterer, in the same market, charged with receiving the same, well knowing them to be stolen. Charles Skelton, son of the prosecutor, stated that he was minding his father's premises about six o'clock this morning, when he saw the prisoner Skelton take out a bushel of nuts and carry them into Evans' shop next door, who received them. As soon as his father came to business witness told him what had occur►ed, when he called a police•constable and gave them both into custody. Mr. A'Beckett asked what business Evans was I ___. Witness replied that he was a retail fruiterer, and had carried on business next door to us for some time. Lat terly, however, his father suspected that he had received goods from Skelton, and ho was directed to watch them both. Seijcant Lamb, 459 A, stated th a t h e wa s on duty this morning in th e B oroug h- mar k e t a little after siz o'clock, when he was ca ll e d by l as t w itness, who t o ld him that he had seen Skelton steal a bushel of nuts from the shop and take them to Evans' shop. 'When the prosecutor came to business he took Skelton into cus tody for stealing the nuts. 11 ,, acknowledg e d h aving done so, and it was his first time. He afterw ar d s t oo k Evans into custody, and on telling him h e was charged with receiving a bushel of nuts from Skelton, he denied all knowledge of him or the nuts. Mr. A'Beckett committed both of there for trial. ArroINTMENTS.—C a pt . Ch ar l es Ed en i s ap. pointed Comp troller of th e C oast Guard. Capt.
