CITY, Two O'CLOCK, I The sales of cotton in the Liverpool Cotton Mar- St ket on Saturday were estimated at 5,000 bales, of 12. which 500 were taken for export. The sales include 50 200 Pernam and Maranham, 61d. to 61d. ; 200 13i Egyptian, 50. to 7id. ; and 700 Surat, 34d. to lj 41d. The market closed tamely but steadily, and, compared with Friday's range, prices of all kinds 7, 7? were unchanged. There was little alteration to 22 note in the Railway Share Market. 25 The New York accounts state that a panic had st. prevailed in the Stock Market. The market fcr St. foreign productions was quiet and rather depressed, 43 with some inclination on the part of holders to 50 press sales. Flour had been firmer, and common 20 E and medium grades of State were rather dearer. 100 All kinds of breadstuffs likewise tended upwards. 10 50 10 The return of the City Banks for the week ending November 3, as compared with the previous state- 25 went, showed a diminution in the specie of 57,223 'LS . dollars, and the discounts were lessened 8 47,283 2 0 ' dollars. St. There are later advices by way of New York 2 1. from Mexico, which mention that various altera- 25 tions have been made by the Government, which St. St% were principally of a local character. All public 10 money had been ordered to be at the disposal of St. the Treasury Department alone, except 25 per 1 50 ) cent. destined for the English and Diplomatic Con- 20 ventions. The decree of Santa Anna limiting the at introduction of books to the ports of Vera Cruz 4. is abolished. The cultivation of tobacco has st• been declared free at Tobasco. The tonnage duties gt t : have been reduced in the ports there, and the ex- St. port duty has been taken off dye wood. Cocoa had 4t. been relieved from the Alcabala duty. 12 On the Paris Bourse, at the close of the week, an unusual degr, eof indifference was manifested, both 16' by speculators and capitalists. It was observed St. that buyers and sellers hesitated to risk a decided I ,2 movement either one way or the other. The French ili 3 per Cents. were quoted at a fall of 10 centimes 3 t t • for the December account, and the 4-i Stock receded 20 as much as 50 centimes for the same term, while 10 the former for the current month were without 12' change, and the latter not quoted. lii Railway 50 Shares there were few transactions, but these 4° maintained former prices. Bank of France Shares z 25 were sold at 10 francs less. Credit Mobilier were St• feebly maintained, at an improvement of 5 francs, ,; 25 ? .-). and the New Loan had an upward tendency. 10 The conditions of the new tariff on all articles of -4t. . :It. consumption subject to the octroi duties in Paris, 50 have just been issued by the Government. In all 100 15 the principal articles which may be classed under 2.! the head of luxuries, there is an augmentation 5t compared with former rates; while articles of food 20 and fuel remain unaltered. The duties on wines l' enttring the barriers" is advanced about 20 per 4 5° t cent., and the charge on a measure of spirits which 16 was formerly 73 francs 50 centimes is to be 89 .g francs 50 centimes. Also in vinegar, oil, and g other descriptions of oilmen's wares there is a sen- St. Bible augmentation, especially in wax candles. The 25 5 duties on coal, charcoal, and other kinds of fuel 50 are not increased, nor in materials for building. g t t . • Barley is raised from 94e. to lfr. 60c. ; oats to to M. instead of 25c. per hectolitre. The corn trade is dull and wheat is rather cheaper to-day. The market for English Stocks presents a dull appearance in the absence of speculative dealing, and the quotations are to I per cent. lower than on Saturday. The sentence of two years' imprison ment passed on Joseph Wagner, for enlisting in the United States, is considered severe, but it has not had much effect upon the funds. Consols for money have been 871 and 87i f, while for ac account the prices have ruled at 87/ all the morning. Bank Stock is steady at 209. Exche quer Bills are marked 7s. discount. Most of the Foreign Securities are rather weaker, with a moderate amount of business doing. The Turkish 6 per Cents. are fully ± per cent. lower, namely, 791 to 79k, and the New Scrip remains at 44 to 4 discount. Dutch 2i per Cents. are rather firmer, being 63 to 63i. Spanish New Deferred are fiat at 19k, Mexican at 191, and Peruvian 3 per Cents. at 514. Sardinian 5 per Cents. are quoted at 851, Guatemala 23, and Danish 3 per Cents. 81. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks : Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 to 7 ; Mexican, 19!. ; Peruvian, 74 to 76 ; ditto Three per Cents., 52 to 54; Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 94 to 96 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88; Spanish New Deferred, 19i ; ditto Three per Cents., 381 . ; ditto Certificates, 4i to 4i ; ditto Passive, 51 to 61. English Railway Shares are generally heavy, but transactions to a fair exent have been entered into. The lines principally dealt in are North- Western, Great Western, North-Eastern, Berwick and Caledonian. Foreign and Colonial lines are dull. Banking, as well as Mining Shares have been in very limited request. Canada Land Shares are quoted as low as 129 to 131. Crystal Palace Shares are steady at 2.

The publication in the Vienna Gazette of Tues day last of the concordat concluded between Austria and the Holy See, is acco mpan i ed by the following Imperial ordonnanco : We, Francis Joseph, &c., From the time when, by the will of the Most High, we ascended the throne of our ancestors, our efforts have incessantly tended to the renewal and consolid ation of the moral ba'es of social order and the happiness of o ur subjects. We have especially considered it as a sacred duty to bring the relations between the State and Ca tholic church into harmony with the law of God and the well understood interests of our empire. It is for this object that, after consulting the bishops of these provinces, we issued for a considerable portion of cur empire the decrees of April 18 and April 23, 1350, which responded to so many of the pressing require ments of the religious order. To complete this work, rich in blessings, we put ourselves in communication with the Holy See, and on August 18 of the present year we concluded a definite convention with the Head of the Church. In bringing this fact to the knowledge of our people, our Ministers and our Council of the Empire, we an nounce :- 1. We shall make the necessary arrangements for put ting, in harmony with the Article 8, the control of the Catholic instruction in the provinces where this agree ment does not exist. Until then the existing arrange ments will continue to be in force. 2. It is our will that the Episcopal tribunals in the matter of marriages be established and brought into action as promptly as possible in those provinces in which they do not at present exist. At those places the necessar y modifications in the civil law of marriages will be published ; the present civil law remaining in vigour up to that time. 3. With regard to the rest, the stipulations concluded by us with the Holy See will come into force through out our empire from the day of the p u bli cat i on o f the present decree.

There was less activity in the demand for wheat in the leading country markets held on Saturday. Prices, how ever, were about 2s per quarter higher. Barley sold briskly at is to 2s per quarter more money. All other articles of grain, including flour, were firm. The last advices from New York state that an extensive business was doing in wheat and flour on English account. The continental markets continue very firm. Up to our market last week the arrival of English grain were very moderate. From abroad we received 5,135 qrs. of wheat, 14,577 barley, 1,189 beans, 625 peas, 235 tares, 1,731 linseed, 5,326 rapeseed, 75 mustard seed, 370 sundry seeds, 1,902 sacks, and 5,852 barrels of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day coastwise were very limited, and those by railway were but moderate. The general show of samples of both red and white oats therefore small; nevertheless, the de mand for all kinds ruled heavy, and where sales took place prices gave way from is to 2s per quarter com pared with Monday last, and no inclination whatever was shown by the millers to purchase beyond immediate wants. The general condition of the supply was tolerably good. With foreign wheat we were scantily supplied. All de scriptions met a dull inquiry; indeed, so little was doing that the currencies were almost nominal. Prices, how ever, were not lower. CORNER.-JUDGMENT. The Master of the Rolls gave judgment this morning in this important case, which came before his Honour for the purpose of obtaining the opinion of the Court upon the construction of a clause in the will of the late Earl Beauchamp, made in the year 1847. By that clause it appeared that the testator intended, previous to his death, to build almshouses in the hamlet of New land, for the benefit of 12 poor men and women, who bad formerly been engaged in agricultural labour, but had become reduced by sickness, misfortune, and infirmity. E irl Beauchamp, after expressing such intention in his will, went on to say that if he should die before such almshouses were built, then it was his desire that the ' trustees of his will should stand possessed of a sum of 60,0001., to be expended in the erection and maintenance of such almshouses, provided any person would purchase or give a piece of land upon which they might be erected ; but, in case no one purchased or gave such a piece of land within 12 months after the decease of the noble earl, then his trustees were to pay over the sum of 60,0001. to the governors and trustees of St. George's Hospital at Hyde-park-corner, to be applied to the general purposes of that institution. After the death of Earl Beauchamp, in 1853, Mr. Grantham Scott, one of the executors, purchased a piece of land at Newland and formally assigned it to himself, his co-executors, and Mr. Abel Smith, for the purpose of erecting the alms houses. The trustees of the will by the present suit claimed the legacy of 60,0001. The governors of St. George's Hospital objected to the claim upon the ground that the first provision in Earl Beauchamp's bequest being void under the statute of mortmain they were entitled to the fund. The residuary legatee, on the other hand, asserted that neither the trustees of the alms-houses nor those of St. George's Hospital were en titled to the fund, but that it formed part of the residuary estate. The Master of the Rolls, after going at some length into the case, decided that the gift for the erection of the alms-house was void under the statute of mod main, and that the gift to St. George's Hospital also failed in consequence of the event in which it was to go to that institution not having arisen. His Honour de clined judicially to decide whether the 60,0001. belonged to the residuary estate of Earl Beauchamp, feeling, no doubt, that the question was of such importance as to induce the parties to bring it before a higher branch of the court. Floating car g oes commanded the late extr eme ra t es . The show of barley was limited, although the demand for all kinds was less active, but Monday's quotations were important. Malt sold to a fair extent, at very full prices. The show of Irish and foreign oats was moderately good. On the whole, the oat trade was steady, at full prices. We had an improved demand for beans, at an advance of is per quarter. The show of peas was good, yet the trade ruled steady at full quotations. There was a moderate sale the best town-made was 77s CURRENCY PER Wheat—Essea & Kent, Red new 66s to 833 Ditto •• .. old 79s 91a Ditto, White new 7is 90s Ditt0......., old 80s 95s Norfolk and Lin coln, Red, old 81s 893, Ditto new •• •• &is 82s Rye—Old ..........., New ......•• •• •• 48s 52s Barle3s.—Grinding..... 36s 403 Malting .....•• 403 42s Chevalier.... • • 43s 44s Milt—Suffolk and Nor- for flour, and the top price o: per 2801bs.

For the time of year the imports of foreign stock into London last week were good, the total supply amounting to 7,732 head. In the corresponding week in 1854 we re ceived 6,808; in 1853, 8,574; in 1852, 4,873; in 1851, 7,036; in 1850, 6,191; in 1849, 5,587; and in 1848, 4,261 head. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST WEEK.

Last week's receipts of beasts from Ireland, by sea, amounted to 53 head, and we a'so received 126 pigs. As the um therm shipping ports on the Continent will now be shortly closci, we may anticipate a considerable falling off in the imports of foreign beasts. There was about an average supply of foreign stock to day's market, but its qurlity was very indifferent. From Ireland, via Liverpool, we had an offer of 3CD beasts and 750 sheep in good condition. As the aggregate supp!y of beasts was on the decrease, and as the attendance of buyers was tolerably good, the beef trade ruled brisk, at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of 2d per 81bs. The general top figure was ss, but some prime Scots realised 5s 2d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 1,700 shoat-horns; from other parts of England, 350 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 80 horned and polled Scots. The show of sheep was limited, especially of English breeds, most of which were in poor condition, and the mutton trade was active, at pikes fully equal to those ob tained on this day ee'nnight. The extreme price for Downs was 5s 2d per 81bs. Calves, the supply of which was very moderate, sold bi:skly, at au advance in th e p r i ces o f Monday ast of fully 4d per 81bs. The highest figure was ss. 4d per 81bs. We had a steady demand for pigs. In the quotations we have no change to notice. all 1 Bedford and Bletchloy 100 Buckghameh. 100 Clydesdale Jo. all Col.

OUTRAGE ON A PARISH OFFICER. —Mary O'Donnell, A most disorderly character, was charged with conduct of a very outrageous nature. It appeared that on Saturday evening last, the pri soner and a number of other women were in front of the gate of Marylebone, and two dozen tickets for bread were distributed amongst them. Shortly afterwards Mr. Tubbs, the relieving overseer, left the house to go to Lisson-grove upon business, when the whole party fol lowed him a considerable distance, and at length com pletely surrounded him, and used language towards him of a gross and threatening description. The prisoner was the ringleader of the lot, and thrust her fist into the face of the officer alluded to, and who, as a mob of 200 to 300 persons had collected around him, was obliged to take refuge in a shop. After a short time he made his egress therefrom, upon which the women resumed their menaces, and the police eventually took the pri soner into custody. In default of paying a fine of 20s. she was sent for a month to the House of Correction. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS. TRAFFIC RETITRNS FOR THE PAST WEEK. Miles opened, 1855. NAME OF RAILWAY.

FASHION AT THE LYCEII3I.—Among the throng of dis tinguished visitors who have honoured Mr. Anderson's attractive performances during the past week have been the Earl and Countess of Stamford and Warrington, Earl Uxbridge, Lord G. Paget, Baron Rothschild and party, Sir Hamilton Seymour, &c. Mr. Anderson's en tertainment of Magic and Mystery has now run for 77 nights, and appears to have lost none of its interest, the theatre being as crowded every night as it was during the first week. We understand that on the 100th night Mr. Anderson intends presenting some unusual attrac tions. ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY AT L A MBETEL—Informa,- tion was given on Saturday by the police of a daring robbery from Mr. E. Daniels, Trigon-terrace, Lambetn, of a gold hunting-watch, silver watch, gold brooches, gold bracelets, and rings, consisting of diamond, eme . raids, turquoise, garnet, with many other fa mil y relics. EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION IN LAMBETH.—On Satur day night a fire, attended with the destruction of some thousand pounds worth of property aid almost fatal consequences to several perrons, happened in the exten sive range of premises belonging to Mr. Edward Jones, a linendraper, situated at N 0.133, Lambeth-walk. THE GUIDING STAR.—ThelaStadViCeS fr O l D Melbourne, up to the 30th of August, bring no tidings of the arrival of the Guiding Star, which left Liverpool for that port on the 9th of January. She bad, including officers and crew, nearly 500 persons on board—men, women, and children. She was spoken by the Boston bark Kate, Captain Hastings, in lat. 16 6 S. , l o ng. 33 4 8 W., and has never since been beard of, and there is every reason to apprehend that she has foundered with every soul on board. The Guiding Star is now posted at Lloyd's as a missing ship, a course seldom adopted until all hope of a vessel turning up is nearly exhausted. She had a miscellaneous cargo, which, with the ship, w as i nsured for a large amount. TESTIMONIAL TO MAJOR-GENERAL WINDHAM.—NOR WICH, Nov. 17.—A subscription was recently commenced in Norfolk for the purpose of presenting some testi monial to Major-General Windham, the "hero of the Redan," who is a member of a Norfolk family. To-day a meeting of the subscribers was held at the shire hall in this city, the Earl of Leicester, Lord Lieutenant of Nor folk, in the chair, to take into consideration the best mode of applying the subscriptions received. After a few remarks from the noble chairman on the moral as well as the physical courage displayed by General Wind ham in his Crimean career, and especially on the Bth of September, Mr. T. J. Birch, one of the principal pro moters of the movement, stated that the total sum at present received amounted to 8031. 13s. 6d., that several subscriptions promised were not yet paid in, and that a wish had been expressed in some quarters that the list should not be closed at present. The Earl of Albemarle supported this view of the case, and moved a resolution to the effect that the period for receiving subscriptions be further extended for six weeks, and that a committee, consisting of the High Sheriff of Norfolk (Mr. B. Gur don), the Earl of Leicester, Mr. Birch, th e H on . W. R. Roos, Sir S. Bignold, M.P., M r. W r i ght, and Mr. T. Wells, be appointed to consider and report upon the best mode of appropriating the fund raised. This was unanimously agreed to. 1854. 1855. 2,853 741 1,897 3,1 0 802 2,002 5,925 11,672 5,338 ker Bibs to sink the offals. s. d. s. d.l s. d. 8 d.

(Front the Weekly Dispatch.) The letter of Mr. Cobden has already been translated into all the R uss i an newspapers and into every Legiti matist Continental journal. It is praised, confirmed, ac cepted as true, with exultation. It is hailed, as all the former letters and speeches of the Manchester school have . been on the same subject, f or th e va l ue o f the cer tain information it is presumed to contain of our weak ness and wavering—of our incompetency to sustain the war—of the drain i it makes o n our resources—of our opi nion that Russia s strong, stubborn, and ample in re sources. It is the peculiar characteristi c of all the mani festoes of the Muncasterian fanatics on this topic, that they are manifestly so framed as to admit of publi ca ti on by the enemy—that they are conceived in the spirit of placing the prospects of Russia in the most favo ura bl e light—that they carefully avoid even a hint of censure upon the Czar or his cause—that all their abuse and con tempt are reserved for their own country, its cause and its champions, and all their praise and reverence for the character and conduct of the common enemy. No im partial reader can rise from their perusal without the conviction that they are calculated to raise the hopes of the enemy, to induce him to continue the war and to ex pect victory in the field, from our weakness, or triumph in diplomacy from the treachery of our Senators. In fact, whatever may be the motive of these letters, they have all the effects of treason on the issue of the war. We can respect the conscientious convictions of pious men, religiously opposed on evangelical principles to all war. We have even forbearence and toleration for the opinions of those traditionary politicians who have inhe rited, in their Radicalism, the principle of noninterven tion. We can be charitable to the deepest economical ' prejudice against a standing army, loans, and a war ex penditure ; and even bear with a fixed idea that all money spent either ou defence or military strength is extravagance and ruin. But that men calling themselves Radicals, and affectiesg some love of liberty—that re presentatives of the people pretending to patriotism, and assuming the garb of moral or social Reformers and model philanthropists, should have effused all this per petuum mobile of talk, and diarrhoea of epistolary re monstrance and casuistry, on the one subject, which ar rests every mind and absorbs every other interest—that accountable creatures, the free citizens of a free State— glorious in its achievements, and distinguished for its sa crifices for the happiness of the human race, should have for two years stood out from among the sympathies and disgusted the public opinion of all good men, in infinite futile verbosity, to denounce this war and its promoters, without the utterance of one word of reprobation of the delinquencies of a remorseless tyrant—that they should reserve all their reprobation for their country and its heroes, and make no sign of execration of that huge pub lic criminal who, in defiance of the law of nations and the rights of states, avows, with brazen vice, the purpose of continuing the fillibustering felonies whereby his pirate den has grown under his ancestors to proportions dan gerous to the liberty of the world—indicates a degree of mental callosity worthy only of a moral rhinoceros with a hide impervious to all those suggestiofis which do re verence to humanity. From the time when Sturge and his tail beflunkied Nicholas at St.' Petersburg, protested against the war, but uttered no word of censure against its sole author, and (a Jenkins in drab !) called meetings of Englishmen to detail to them the "Court Circular" of the tyrant hypocrite—from that time until now, your Cobdens and Brights have, with a reticence which men of observation can understand and penetrate, heaped un measured abuse on their own people, Government., and warriors, for presuming to "rail on the Lord's an nointed," and hive left both friends and foes to infer that they adopted, or at least saw no wrong-doing in, the conduct of the common enemy. It is not a't scar, but only this war, that they object to ; it is not that they challenge the principle, but that they demur to the ex ample; they do not say that to fight is wrong, but that to invade Holy Russia is crime, and to enter the lists against the Czar is blasphemy. For such whimsical cos mopolitans to affect solicitude on the subject of our al leged failure to enlist recruits is an act of the most trans parent hypocrisy. If they are to be believed in their professions, the fewer our troops the better, because the sooner must the war burn itself out. They would con ceal the fact if they credited it—they would suppress all notice of their apprehensions if they were real, in order that we might be surprised into peace by the exhaustion of the fuel that feeds the flame of Bellona. It is be cause that he does not himself believe in what he makes the blue book ray that Mr. Cobden labours to induce us to give it credence, and, we blush to add, falsifies the true meaning of public documents for the purpose. He execrates us for fighting, and then expresses his alarm that we have not got men enough to fight. He points to the slowness of recruiting as proof of the unpopularity of the war, and then complains of the uni versal delusion of the people by the press, and of the mercenariness of the press in recommending itself to the people by advocating a continuance of the contest ! Nay, he argues that the nation must be opposed to the war (which, nevertheless, albeit we are assured all states men, and our aristocracy also, condemn it), because those who are clamorous for the prosecution of hostili ties rather prefer to pay others to fight than to shoulder themselves the Blink rifle—as if the best blood of Eng land had not set honour in one and death in the other, to sacrifice fortune and comfort in the service of their cause and country—as if nobody is free to desire the punishment of a felon unless he is prepared himself to act as a hangman —as if it was impossible that Mr. Cob den's soul should be in cotton, because ho " hired mer cenaries" to collect the cow-dung for dyeing his calicoes, and sat at ease in his counting-house while his " hands' were printing gowns from his blocks. To support this hypothesis he makes use of statistics which, we trust, may for ever remain without a parallel of perversion among representatives of the British people. He says, that at the Alma the British troops amounted to 26,000 men, and so shuffles the returns as to make it be b heved that, while from October, 1854, to January, 1855, we had no fewer than 71,389 sick and wounded in the hospital, oar recruits during that time only reached 20,618. Thus, while according to his assertion the whole number of the army originally sent to the Crimea, and the recruits afterwards enlisted, reached only 47,418, the number of sick and wounded of these 47,000 reached 71,006, or 24,000 more than the whole ! Although a civilian by profes sion, and a Quaker in spirit, he has had his own private review of our army. Ho has peered into our sentry boxes —marked the measured tread of the guards to their watch at the Bank of England inspected the patrol at Kens;ngton-gate—watched the hors. , men at Whitehall—and to cheer up the spirits of the enemy (for it can have no better purpose) he asserts that our troops are but raw bop—their bone and muscle mere cartilage —that few as are the recruits they add nothing to the strength of the army—and that we were di-graced at the Redanl by the cowardice of our " gristle." So it was gristle which rushed on at Balaklava, stood the shock of battle at Inkerman, endured and braved all in the trenches ; and " the imminent ,deadly breach"— which never was surpassed in noble daring by the bravest of the brave at the Regan, the assault on which, utterly impossible of success end fraught with neerly cei taSn death, perhaps no other troops in the world could have teen prevailed upon to attempt. Gristle or no gristle, they won against enormous odds the only three battles the enemy could be prevailed upon to fight with them ; raw or not raw, they invade Russia—they hold their ground—they take endless towns and castles, and the strongest fortress in a'! the world. Without help f:orn any but their own ally, against the secret machina, ,, ons of Germany and the neutrality of all, they, the poor 5,000 per month —out of w h om M r . C o bd en con t ra ives to squeeze 18,000 sick and wounded per month (!) make daily reconnaissances, tempt,the ()eerily to fight by every inducement of numerical snperiority to them, and hold the territory of 60,000,000 "of the most stubborn race in existence." If such be the composition of our army, what must be the worth of that which they have never encountered but to beat ? Wo never seo them but we bid them to stay, They never s; US but they wish us away. We always are re? Iy—steady, boys, steely ! To fight and to conquer again ana agn , n. Such are " the inflated pretences and abortive perform ances" which an Englishman is not ashamed to impute to his fellow-citizens. Fur our part we hold the opinion that the perfo..nance fe7 exceeds the pretension. The phrase designed to hearten up the hood-winked serfs of Russia does not deceive their rulers. Of all men in Europe Gortscbakoff and the Czar are the last who will regard the seizure of Sebastopol as an abortion. If "we have undertaken the work not merely of one nation but of half Europe," it is not the first time, with fewer men and less money, that, single-handed, we have withstood the combi'ation of all Europe against us ; and that our ally has planted his victorious standard on every capital of the Continent —aye, even on that of Moscow itself — in a cause not half so honest as, and far less generous in its objects, than that of thrusting back a tyrant to big " den. Th e " b oys " w h o conquered at Waterloo e. e " beardle ss " as th ose w h o saw " t h e f ron t 00fj..rie.. battle,a lour" at I n k erman — an d yet , as t h ey baffi rial Gu ar d th en , th ey wi ll crus h t h e myrm idons et Czar now.

Who can tell that of the enem y I There a re m illi ons nominally under the sceptre of the Czar who never heard of him, and can never be available for war —savages whe fight with bows and arrow s — B.amschatkans and Laplanders , and Arctic Fins—denizens o f wrstes, with not a soul to ten square miles. Our increase is at the rate of 300,000 souls a-year. What is that of Russia ? W e will venture to say not half as much. That even now she is far more deficient in men than we are is evi dent from the fact that latterly her army in the Crimea, her own territory, has fallen below in number that of the Allies, " 3,000 miles," as we are Po often told, from our own shores. It is not the absolute number of a people that is the test of their military strength, but their available numbers in proportion to the ter ritory they have to cultivate and Live ujon. The waste of life suffered by Russia before her recruits reach hr , ad-quarters from places thousands of miles away is in ca l cu l a b le. I n th i s war she has already drawn fifty soldiers from every thousand souls—of whom one-half.e only are males—so that 10 per cent. of her ent..ronally population have already be en sw allowed up, a y vino male children, the infirm, the old, to produce m tb e e l n e w e ea cessary for subsistence, and to find the l for tghe : the war.

Her stub. bornness has not availed for successful resistance ; if she doesn't yield, she will be made to do it—and as the Iron Duke was won't to say, "There's an end on't." Atliqrs she has been driven into rout by Turks alone, and Omer Pacha, on her heels, has forced the passage of the In gour, and again defeated 20,000 of these " stubborn " warriors in a five hours' fight. Sweden and Norwayare in course of entering into our alliance on the guarantee of mutual defence, with 60,000 of those troops which, under Gustavus and Charles XII., swayed the destinies of Europe, and with 60,000 also of the finest seamen, in the world. That alliance was completed, the corn. bined allies will march upon Petersburg whenever the Baltic ice disappears ; and we have the authority of per. sons well acquainted with the ground for the statement that there is no difficulty in landing, and that Peters. burg cannot be placed before the spring in a state of I available defence. Meanwhile, we are busy building those floating-batteries which the French have proved to be impervious to shot, and which may sail unharmed into the harbour of Sebastopol and the bay of Cronstadt —there to come at those "stubborn " heroes with their splendid fleet, who have always respectfully declined to come at them. "A. magnificent peroration" is con sidered by the rhetoricians of the Manchestei school to be peculiarly their folic. Our Midhurst cynic winds up in a storm of abuse of everybody, in a passion at every. thing, and a paroxysm of doubtful theology, and very he. terodox religion. Like the rejected patron of the " weary knifegrinder," he makes his exit in "a transport of phi losophical indignation and universal phil an th ropy !" We are not at all afraid that either the New Testament or the Great Teacher, who told es he came not to bring peace but rather a sword—who proclaimed liberty to the captive—who placed the hopes of heaven on the relief of the distressed—who sent the proud empty away—will condemn resistance to the imperious will and lawless aggressions of a wretch who holds millions in slavery, fills them mad drank to fight, tears them from their homes by force, robs all his subjects of their property to wage aggressive war, keeps on foot a million cut-throats, and heaps up in his den at Sebastopol piles on piles of cannon, shot, shell, powder, and every conceivable in strument of destruction for deep laid and long projected schemes of invasion, aggression, and conquest, to com plete the triumph of legitimacy in Europe, and to fiz his throne at Constantinople. It is only when God per mits such a huge criminal as that to prevail against the generous impulses of mankind that there will be any reason to doubt that the New Testament is a "Law of Liberty," and that the doctrine of Christ may be heard in the moral government of the universe.

GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN (IRELAND) RAIL WAY.—A. meeting of the shareholders of this important company was held in their board-room in Dublin on Sa turday, Sir E. 111`Dormel, chairman of the company, oreiiding, for the purpose of considering a proposition for the purchase of the proposed line of railway between Roscrea and Parsonstown. The proposed line will be twenty-two miles in length, and is estimated to cost about 120,0001. It was objected to the proposition for pur chase that according to the act of Parliament it could not be legally effected on their part, or the sale on the part of the other company, until half the capital for the projected line should have been subscribed and expended. The chairman, however, read an opinion on a case laid before Mr. Hope Scott, the eminent English counsel, which was to the effect that they might legally proceed with the purchase at present, and a motion authorising them to do so was actor tingly carried. THE ALLEGED MURDER OF A CHILD BY ITS 'MOTHER, IN CHELSEA.—On Friday last, it will be remembered, a Mrs. Allen, of Poulton-street, Chelsea, appeared before the sitting magistrate, at the Westminster police court, charged with the murder of her chill, by drowning it in the river Thames, during the dense fog then prevailing. It appeared from the evidence that two other of her chil dren, also, by some means found their way into the river, but were rescued, and restored to animation. The body of the third, a boy about seven, had not been re covered at the time of the examination, and some doubt was even en . tertained as to whether it had really been drowned. Yesterday, however, this doubt was set at restby the finding of th e b o dy, w hi c h was near Vauxhall-brid g e, no t f ar f rom th e b an k of the againstr The poor little fellow evid en tly s t rugg l e d har d his fate, for both hands wer e fir m ly clenched, the one h cm a taining a rather large pebble, discovere d ver. n mud.

THE CASE OF THE Ex-PROVOST OF LEITH.--We have referred, says the Scottish, Press, more than once to this case, expressing an opinion of the excessive severity of the sentence passed on this man, whether as regards the particular charge with its concomitant circumstances, or the age of the individual—and that through this severity the law has driven sympathy away from itself and into a dangerous channel—namely, with the criminal. Greys the learn that a memorial, addressed to Sir G. li f c re Leith,t a ry , by the is being extensively signed already H e ded to the appended to it. The memorial havinga inhabitants a n t) l o t:l e t s S o e more than 500 names being . and sentence circumstances attendant on the conviction i rcum stances of this continues : " Having regard to the and to the age particular case as established in ev idence, of the party (approaching to 70 years ) doomed to t rans . portation beyond seas for the per iod of 15 years, a S t rong this community th a t the • and general feeling pervades law would be vindicated, and the justice of th e case to one of imprisonment. o f the s entence met, by a change -3,1 I lis The Dean of Faculty ( r. n g ), says the Sottish, the case as follows :—" I h aye con sidered Press , remarks on indictment, the notes of e • vidence taken by the counsel at the trial, the verdict, and the the prisoner's sentence, e nd I am satisfied that the sentence is much is at m ore severe than all warranted by the general prac tice the court. The gravamen of the charge, as proved, consists entirely of the lewd handling of the two girls on one occasion, and for a very short time, accom panied by no bodily injury of the slightest consequence to either of them. There is no example that lam ac quainted with of such an offence being visited with a sen tence of transportation. lam disposed to recommend an appeal to the royal mercy, founded on the unexampled severity of the sentence, especially when viewed in con nexion with th e p r i soner ' age.
