STAMPED, SD. tions of the President's Message to a committee, to designate the property of the United States in South Carolina; how it was acquired ; for what purpose it could be used by the general Govern ment after South Carolina should have seceded ; and also the value of the share of the property of the United States which South Carolina would be entitled to upon an equitable division. This reso lution was made an order for the 19th. The latest telegram from Charleston is as fol lows : " The ordinance of secession will not pass to day, but during the week. The adjournment took place from Columbia to Charleston, in order that there might be no precipitancy. Every thing looks to calmness, sobriety, prompt and determined action. The Commissioners from Ala bama and Mississippi are in town with ex-Secre tary Cobb, advising the worst. The United States Government property will not be molested in any manner until the State is attacked by the Federal Government. Revenue dues will be paid until Mr. Buchanan goes out and until the adjoin ing States have had a chance to co-operate with South Carolina. There will, therefore, be no oppor tunity to engage in a clash of arms for some time to come. The South Carolina Legislature Postal Committee hope to continue existing postal ar rangements with the Federal Government. Nu merous freshly-planted palmetto trees are to be seen in the streets, outside of the gutters. Cockades and palmetto flags are numerous. To the left of the Merchants' Hotel is a splendid pole and a white flAg, with a grepn palmetto tree and. a red star, and an 1 n scrip tioti." A-` It would appear from the Charleston papers that the Federal officers in command of the forts there were vigorously engaged strengthening them as much as possible, in accordance with directions from the Government, which had, however, refused assistance. The Senate of North Carolina had passed a bill by a majority of 41 to 3, for arming the State. It had been officially announced that the Presi dent elect had not written and did not intend to write any public letter, A New Orleans letter states that the commission houses there had stopped making advances on negroes, and also remarks : " There is an average decline of 400 dols in the value of negroes compared with last season, and the trade is dull. Robert White, special commis sioner at Romney, Virginia, sold on Thursday last a negro man, aged about 35 years, and a good blacksmith, for 800 dols. Two months ago he would have brought 1,500 dole. A negro boy, aged about nine years, brought 400 dols." The judges of the Canadian Court of Queen's Bench had given their decision on the extradition case of Jones alias Anderson. It was in favour of giving up the fugitive to the United States' autho rities. One of the judges dissented from the deci sion. An appeal had been made. The prisoner was strongly guarded. No attempt at rescue had yet been made, but great excitement pre vailed. Mexican advises state that of the amount of specie seized at the British Consulate 250,000 doh. had already been expended in defence of the city against the Liberals who were besieging it. An expedition of 1,000 men visited Puebla from Mexico, and returned to that city, taking away the sacred vases, ornaments, and jewels belonging to the churches, and valued at 1,000,000 dole. The clergy had given their consent to the spoliation. General Marquez, who had sallied out with 3,000 men from the capital to relieve Guadalajara, was attacked at Tepatitian by a detachment of the Liberal force, and completely routed, losing all his artillery and baggage. He owed his own safety to the fleetness of his horse. The Suarez Government had issued decrees call ing a Congress, and ordering that, from the Ist of April, 1861, all the duties established by the ordinance of maritime custom-houses, decreed in 1856, shall bo paid on deliyoz.y- the half of those duties to be paid in hard money, and the other half in draughts upon the city of Mexico, drawn at sight, in such sums and to the order of such persons as may be required by the collector. The letters from Havannah repot that the Spanish Bank had been authorised to issue 4,000,000 dols. in new bonds, and much relief to the mercantile community was expected. The sugar market was unchanged. The new crop was coming in. The stock was 40,000 boxes. As the late King had for some time resigned the administration of affairs into the hands of his brother, Prussia had lost even that touch of romance which his dreams and his harangues had once imparted to her. She has been governed lately by men who are only too happy if they can keep things together, by men like M. Schleintz, who protest and do nothing, and who neglect reforms at home in order to bully a weak neighbour. A certain interest indeed now rises at the mention of her name in this country from the marriage of the Princess Royal, and the subsequent birth of an heir of British blood to the throne of Prussia. But, even if the history of that country had suggested any wish to adopt her policy and share her fortunes, the day has gone by for dynastic alliances. We care more for international good faith than for family feeling. 'We respect treaties; we suspect aggrandisement in its most plausible forms; we hope to see the landmarks of Europe remain. undis ' turbed in our time : we entertain a just dread of those u who al ly undertake dislike E Emperors rearrange rors w h om re m the e Continent b and to establi s h th ere b y a c l a i m t o pu bli c gratitude. We eq remember that the Rhine was once their frontier, and Kings and Regents who forget that the Eyder has always been the boundary of the German Empire. Frederick William was good and almost.great in everything but as a King. Neither nature nor circumstances allowed him to be that. Had he been the man to play a great part, it would Dr obably have been to the sore cost of his country, and had that country been in a condition to back up the genius and enterprise of another Frederick the Great it would not have found a leader in the late King. He was a man of heart and of head, a genius, a 'wit, a savant, a sentimentalist, a theologian, an arts: it, a good companion, a kind friend—everything but a King ; and, as nothing was wanted but a name to hold Prussia together, he has fulfilled his minion. Happily he was without political ambition, unless it was an ambition to found a new episcopacy, to share with Queen Victoria the See of Jerusalem, to inaugurate the Cathedral of Cologne as a temple of Christianity, or to reconstruct the German Empire, and do homage and service to the Emperor. Had he not been a King, he would have been a great man, and no doubt in that case would have added the name of a politician to his other eminent qualities. Unfortunately, this was the point on. which he was called on to act as well as talk, and the result . has been fatal to his reputation, on this point at least. He has not, however, been without use or influence in his generation. In this country we are scarcely able to do justice to the man, but Frederick William IV. certainly had the respect and affection of his subjects. There was no reason why he should not, for he was a thorough German ; and, had he been a Professor in a University, would doubtless have left noble contributions to the science of government, a history of Germany, the portraiture of a good King, the idea of a good Bishop, a political Utopia, a Civitas Dei, a new Atlantis, or at least some splendid pieces of rhetoric. But there are many men who can do these things—not many who can govern so well as to make a first-class State out of a second-rate kingdom, an united empire out of a bundle of pro vinces, a grand policy out of a forced neutrality -- was tlity— something, in fact, out of nothing; and this what Frederick William IV. had to do , if possible, and failed.— Times. for principalities and empires were the men he loved to deal with, and he knew the game well. Frederick William 111. had no such taste or skill; neither had his successor. They had been content to keep what they had by the grace of their neigh.- . bours. To keep out of the quarrels of Europe, to reduce opinions at home within reasonable bounds, and to harmonise whatever admitted of the process, have been the utmost ambition of these Princes in the every-day working world of politics. As fre quently happens, however, this external necessity has not restrained the mind from what may be called its own development. As the Dutch have learnt the art of keeping out the water by inhabiting a country under the level of the ocean, Prussia has acquired from her scattered and hidebound dominion a taste for speculative unities, and for new provinces in religion and science. We believe that we do no more than justice to the warm heart and fervid genius of the late King when we say that there is hardly a scheme for the progress or reconstruction of Germany, of the Protestant Churches, and man kind in:general, which he has not cherished. When he came to the throne in 1840 he found it under pressure to give a Constitution to Prussia, and had no hesitation in promising his own part in the work. Kings, however, who seldom premise, are still less frequently in a condition to perform, and when Frederick William IV. gove his subjects at last in 1847, a speculative Constitution on the British model, it was only to find himself and his subjects, all his concessions, all his designs, suddenly adrift in the great storm which came over Europe early in the followinc , spring. Throughout the whole of that year and the following the King of Prussia met a succession of difficulties from within and from without with a succession of measures and move ments which cannot be pronounced unwise or trivial, inasmuch as Prussia survives, and is now the same Prussia that she was before. The Sove reign made large concessions, then withdrew them ; fought and conquered the citizens of Berlin by means of his army, and then sacrificed his army to the citizens; acceded with zeal to the new German Diet, and as promptly seceded ' • took part in the p ro f essor i a l crusa d e ca ll e d the Schleswig- Holstein war ; helped the King of Denmark's rebels, and then left them in the lurch; marched and manoeuvred with the forces of Austria, but kept his Generals under orders to avoid a collision ; and, finally, seemed only too happy to retrace all his steps, and to find his subjects sufficiently wearied and disgusted to sit still. In Prussia, as elsewhere, a great and steady advance in material improvement was the timely relief from these political troubles and disagreeables. Prussia, however, had made the valuable discovery how little she could do, and how small an element she was in the politics of the world. This persuasion had penetrated her statesmen and even her armies, and it constituted her best excuse for the part, the old part, played for the hundredth time in the late Russian war, and repeated last year, when Germany itself seemed to be threatened. It is true that Prussia happened to derive large pecuniary advantages from her neutrality and the blockade of the Russian ports in the Baltic ; it is also true that Frederick William was naturally un willing to go to war first with his brother.in-law and then with his nephew, It is true, further, that the Prussian people, not finding it convenient to go to war with Russia, put a good face on it, and lampooned the Western Powers ; but the fact at the bottom of their non-interference, and their real excuse, was the fear of speedy annihilation at the hands of their colossal neighbour. It is impossible to quarrel with the instinct of self-preservation, however awkwardly it may show itself ; but Prussia certainly lost in the eyes of this country, and but ill repaired the loss by taking a part, though a sub ordinate one, in the negotiation that closed that war. The natural result was that in the Italian. war, and tho negotiations which preceded it, Prussia was a cipher. Could she have been depended on to come to the assistance of Austria, that would have changed the whole aspect of affairs; and France and Austria might have fretted and bickered to this day from the opposite banks of the Ticino. But this was felt on all sides to be a question between those two empires alone, unless something unex pected should rouse the blood of Germany; and the wisest advice that could be offered to Austria was to withdraw the cause of offence on the best terms she could obtain.

The Asia, which toucled at Queenstown yester day, arrived, leaving very early this morning. The following correspaidence respecting the visit o:f the Prince of Wales to the United States had ?en published LORD LYONS TOSECRETARY CASS, Wethington, Dec. 8, 1860. .Sir,—The Queen, mj august Sovereign, has commanded that the earliest opportunity after the return of the Prince of Males to England be taken to convey to the President of the United States the expression of her Majesty's thanks for the cordial reception given to his Royal Highness during his late visit to this country b 7 the President himself and by all classes of the ciizens. One of the main objects which her Majesty had in view in sanctioning the visit of his Royal High-, ness was', 'to prove to the President and citizens of the Unit e d States the sincerity of those sentiments of ester m and regard which her Majesty and all classes of her subjects entertain for the kindred race • shich occupies so distinguished a position in the 'community of nations. Iler Majesty has seen with the greatest satisfac tio'A that her feelings and those of her people in thi s respect have been met with the warmest sym yathy in the great American Union • and her Ma , jesty trusts that theleelingof confidence and affec tion—the existence of which late events have proved beyond all question—will long continue to prevail, hAweenAlle-AivastiAioa t to, their mutual advantage and to the genetarifiUrestii - OrWiliTa= tion and humanity. I am commanded to state to the President that the Queen would be gratified by his making known generally to the citizens of the United States her grateful sense of the kindness with which they received her son, who has returned to England deeply impressed with what he saw during his progress through the States, but more especially so with the friendly , and cordial goodwill manifested towards him on every occasion by all classes of the community. I have the honour to be, with the highest consi deration, Sir, your most obedient humble s ervan t, The Hon. Lewis Cass, &c. LYONS. THE SECRETARY'S REPLY. Department of State, Washington, Dec. 11,1860. My Lord,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the Bth inst., in which you have conveyed to this Government the expression of her Britannic Majesty's thanks for the cordial reception given to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales during his late visit to this country by the President and by all classes of the citizens, and of her Majesty's wish that her grateful sense of the courtesies extended to her son may be made known generally to the citizens of the United States. I am instructed by the President to express the gratification with which he has learnt how correctly her Majesty has appreciated the spirit in which his Royal Highness was received throughout the Re public, and the cordial manifestation of that spirit by the people of the United States which accom panied him in every step of his progress. Her Majesty has justly recognised that the visit of her son aroused the kind and generous sympathies of our citizens, and, if I may so speak, has created an almost personal interest in the fortunes of the Royalty which he so well represents. The Presi dent trusts that this sympathy and interest towards the future representative of the sovereignty of Great Britain is at once an evidence and a guarantee of that consciousness of common interest and mutual regard which have in the past and will in the future, bind together more strongly than treaties the feeling and the fortunes of the two nations which represent the enterprise, the civilisation, and the constitu tional liberty of the same great race. I have also been instructed to make this corres pondence public, that the citizens of the United States may have the satisfaction of knowing how strongly and properly her Majesty has appreciated the cordial warmth of their welcome to his Royal Highness. fhave the honour to be, my Lord, with high consideration, your Lordship's obedient servant, Wm. HENRY TRESCOTT, Assistant Secretary. President Buchanan had issued the following proclamation for a fast and humiliation day : To TUE PEOPLE OP Titz uNITEr, crraTES —A EECOM- MENDATION. Numerous appealsiiaVWieWm adeto me by pious and patriotic associations and citizens, in view of the present distracted and dangerous condition of our country, to recommend that a day be set apart for humiliation, fasting and prayer throughout the Union. In compliance with their request and my own sense of duty I designate Friday, Jan. 4, 1861, for this purpose, and recommend that the people assemble on that day, according to their several forms of worship, to keep it as a solemn fast. The union of the States is at the present moment threatened with alarming and immediate danger— panic and distress of a fearful character prevail throughout the land—our labouring population are without employment, and consequently deprived of the means of earning their bread—indeed hope seems to have deserted the minds of men. All el fiSc'eS are in a state of confusion and dismay, and the wisest counsels of our best and purest men are wholly disregarded. In this, the hour of our calamity and peril, to whom shall we resort for relief but to the God of our fathers ? His Omnipotent arm only can save us from the awful effects of our own crimes and follies —our own ingratitude and guilt towards our Hea venly Father. _ _ _ Let us, then, with deep contrition and penitent sorrow, unite in humbling ourselves before the Most High, in confessing our individual and national sins and in acknowledging the justice of our punish ment. Let us implore him to remove from our hearts that false pride of opinion which would im pel us to persevere in wrong for the sake of consis tency rather than yield a just submission to the unforeseen exigencies by which we are now sur rounded, Let us, with deep reverence, beseech Him to restore the friendship and goodwill which pre vailed in former days among the people of the seve ral States, and, above all, to save us from the hor rors of civil war and " blood guiltiness." Let our fervent prayers ascend to His throne, that He would not desert us in this hour of extreme peril, but remember us as He did our fathers in the darkest days of the Revolution, and preserve our Constitu tion and our Union, the work of their hands, for ages yet to come. An Omnipotent Providence may overrule existing evils for permanent good. He can make the wrath of man to praise Him, and the re mainder of wrath he can restrain. Let me invoke every individual, in whatever sphere of life he may be placed, to feel a personal responsibility to God and his country for keeping this day holy, and for contributing all in his power to remove our actual and impending calamities. "JAMES BUCHANAN: " Washington, Dec. 14." In the United States Senate, on the 17th ult., motions for papers in regard to the Charleston forts were taken up and laid over. On the 18th a com promise offered by Mr. Crittenden, of Kentucky, occupied the attention of the Senate. His prepo sition is thus summed up by the Tribune : " Mr. Crittenden proposes to renew the Missouri Compromise Line ; prohibiting slavery in the ter ritory north of 36 deg. 30 min., and protecting it south of that latitude ; and for the admission of new States, with or without slavery, as their Con stitutions shall provide ; to prohibit the abolition of slavery by Congress in the States; to prohibit the aboliiton in the district of Columbia so long as it exists either in Virginia or Maryland ; to permit the transportation of slaves in any of the States by land or water; to provide for the payment of fugi tive slaves, when rescued ; to repeal one obnoxious feature of the Fugitive Slave Law--the inequality of the fee to the Commissioner; and also to ask the repeal of all the Personal Liberty Bills in the Northern States. These concessions are to be submitted to the people in the form of amend ments to the Constitution, and if they are carried they arc to be changed by no future amendments. As Mr. Crittenden is a moderate man, as he avows his attachment to the Union, and his de termination to stand by it, it is fair to presume that his propositions are the best the South is dis posed to offer. They hardly, however, deserve the name of compromise, as that term presupposes some mutual concessions. Mr. Crittenden's plan grants to the South that freedom shall be the rule where nature itself prohibits slavery, and agrees that Northern Commissioners shall not be bribed to decide in favour of the claimants for fugitive slaves. On the other hand, it provides, on the part of the South, that the Ropublican party shall give up what it has contended for for years, and at last gained ; it limits the power of Congress in the district of Columbia to suit, not the people thereof, or of the country at large, but the people of two contiguous States ; it takes away from the non slaveholding States their rights, under the common I law, to prohibit the existence of playery therein otherwise than in the case of fugitives ; it recom mends such States to repeal all laws to prevent the kidnapping of their most defenceless citizens; and, finally, it makes these important concessions to slavery perpetual, We greatly mistake the temper of the House if such a compromise will meet with its approbation, and we altogetUr miscalculate the strength of the Republicans of the North if there be any possibility of their meeting with the assent of two•thirds of the people." The resolution of Mr. Powell, of Kentucky, pro viding for the appointment of a Select Committee of 13 on the state of the Union, was passed, and the pre siding officer was authorised to select its members. The composition of the committee will be looked for with the greatest interest. Previous to the passing of the resolution, Mr. Lane, of Oregon, introduced a proposition for the settlement of the pending diffi culties, looking to a Convention of the Southern States to determine what shall be asked of the North, to be followed by a General Convention of all the States for consultation and definite action. The proposition also commits Congress against the policy of coercing seceding States. On the motion of Mr. Douglas it was referred to the Select Com mittee, In the House of Representatives on the 17th the following preamble and resolution, offered by Mr. Adrain (Anti-Lecompton Dern., N. J.), after amendment, on motion of John Cochrane, including in the recommendation the repeal of all Personal Ulagty Bills, eo called, was adokted by a vote of 151 yeas to 14 nays , , " Whereas, the Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land, and its ready and faithful obedience a duty of all good and law-abid ing citizens; therefore, — "Resolved,—That we deprecate the spirit of dis obedience to the Constitution wherever manifested, and that we earnestly recommend the repeal of all statutes by the State Legislatures in conflict with and in violation of that sacred instrument and the laws of Congress passed in pursuance thereof." Also, on motion of Mr. Lovejoy (Republican, Illinois), the following was adopted —yeas, 124; nays, none : " Whereas, the Constitution of the United States is the supreme law of the land, and its ready and faithful obedience a duty of all good and law-abid ing citizens ; therefore,— " Resolved,—That we deprecate the spirit of dis obedience to the Constitution wherever manifested and that we earnestly recommend the repeal of all Nullification Laws ; and that it is the duty of the President to protect and defend the property of the United States." The following resolution, offered by Mr. Morris (Democrat, of Illinois), was also adopted by a vote of 115 against 44 Resolved by the House of Representatives,— That we properly estimate the immense value of our National Union to our collective and individual happiness; that we cherish a cordial, habitual, and immovable attachment to it ; that we will speak of it as of the Palladium of our political safety and prosperity; that we will watch its preservation with jealous anxiety ; that we will discountenance whatever may suggest even a suspicion that it can in any event, be abandoned, and indignantly frown upon the first dawning of every at tempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest, or enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts ; that we regard it as a main pillar in the edifice of our real independence, the support of tranquillity at home, our peace abroad, our safety, our prosperity, and that very liberty which we so highly prize; that we have seen nothing in the past, nor do we see anything in the present, either in the election of Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency of the United States, or from any other existing cause, to justify its dissolution ; that we regard its perpetuity as of more value than the temporary triumph of any party or any man ; that whatever evils or abuses exist under it ought to be corrected within the Union, in a peaceful and constitutional way; that we believe it has sufficient power to redress every wrong and enforce every right growing out of its organisation, or pertaining to its proper functions; and that it is a patriotic duty to stand by it as our hope in peace, and our defence in war." On the 18th the House acted on the resolution offered on the previous day by Mr. Crauford, of Georgia, declaring that the Constitution recognises property in slaves, and approving the opinions of the judges in the Dred Scott case as authoritative and binding expositions of the law. This resolution was laid upon the table, and then the House pro ceeded to consider the Pacific Railroad Bill, and the Bill granting lands to Nebraska for railroad pur poses, but without coming to any conclusion. The following extract from the New York Tribune shows to what extent this party feeling prevailed : " There is a rumour in town, apparently derived from responsible sources at Washington, to the effect that President Buchanan is insane ! This is probably not true, though in view of his course through the last six eventful weeks, the confirma tion of the report would afford no reason for astonishment. More lqmentable imbecility, or more deliberate treachery, was never seen. At every step he has contributed to the disruption of the Republic; and if, as Mr. Cobb declared, he shall prove to be the last President of the existing Union, it will be due to either his own weak ness or wickedness quite as much as to any other cause. Let him be pronounced a lunatic, and he may stand at the bar of history relieved of a crime with scarce an equal in the records of human frailty and depravity." An influential meeting had taken place at New York, and passed addresses asking the South to pause, and to allow the friends of constitutional rights to make an effort to restore that equality in the Union which is indispensable to its perpetua tion. According to the Washington correspondent of the IVew York Express, the impeachment of the Pre sident for dereliction of duty in the present crisis was gravely recommended by the Republican leaders. The Secretary of the Treasury had advertised for proposals until the 28th, for the use of five millions in Treasury notes, pursuant to the Act just passed. It was currently rumoured that a strong move ment was going on in the border States, upon both sides of Mason and Dixon's line, for a great middle confederacy, to be called the " Central United States," or the " Federal Republic of Washington," including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and the North West upon one side, and Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennesse, Kentucky, and Missouri upon the other. The same paper, alluding to the condition of the Treasury, says— The condition of the Treasury is far worse than is understood by the public, or disclosed in the weekly statements. It has not been so bad at any time since 1814, when Treasury notes were sold at 25 per cent. discount. Over draughts amounting to 250,000 dols. have been made on New York, and orders have been despatched to St. Louis to transfer 300,000 dols. sent there to pay army and other de mands, toNew York to satisfy these draughts. There are only a few hundred thousand dols in deposito ries, scattered in small sums, and thus rendered unavailable at any particular point. The Mint fund, which is rarely touched for any other pur pose, is exhausted, and there are warrants amount ing to 2,000,000 dols on the Secretary's table, which are not signed, because they cannot be paid. Mr. Thomas will take immediate steps to secure the payment of interest on the public debt, due on the Ist of January, if all other demands have to be temporarily postponed. Soon after Mr. Cobb came into office he redeemed the Government loan at a premium of 16 per cent., to relieve the plethoric. Treasury, and the day after he went out it was sold at 15 per cent. discount." The South Carolina State Convention assembled at Columbia on the 17th, and after electing General Jamison to the chair adjourned to Charleston. On the following day they met at Institute-hall, and a committee was ordered t 3 prepare an address to the people of the Southern States. A proposition was presented by Mr. Hudson that four standing committees should be formed on the followin g questions :-Ist, Relations with the Slaveholding States of North America ; 2d, Foreign Relations ; 3d, Commercial Relations ; 4th, Constitution of the State. The proposition was ordered to be printed and made the order for the 19th. Judge Slagratla offered A resolution referring certain por- GREAT MARLBOROUGH-STREET, W., NEAR THE PANTHEON.

On Sunday, about noon, a schooner called the Norval, from Harfleur, bound for Plymouth in bal last, was wrecked on the Chesil beach at Portland, and the crew saved by one of the most daring and gallant efforts on record. The vessel was observed about noon in the West Bay in an unmanageable condition, and, as a most tremendous sea was run ning and a gale of wind from the south-west blowing dead on shore,it was soon seen that nothing could prevent her from being dashed to pieces on the beach ; and that if the crew were to be saved it must be done quickly. The men on the look-out were equal to the occasion, and volunteers at once came forward to man one of the large fishing boats usually kept on this coast, and, after some difficulty succeeded in launching it. A few moments sufficed to get the boat outside the broken water, and the eight sturdy and gallant fellows who manned it pulled steadily and cautiously over the mighty billows on their errand of mercy. The vessel was at last reached, and by tact and good management the crew were taken off one by one by means of a rope from the bowsprit, until the whole were safely on board the boat. This feat accom plished—and a wonderful one it was in such a sea —the noble fellows made for the shore. On reach ing the buoy to which, on going out, they had attached a land line, the boat was made fast to it, and there remained until their comrades on the beach should see fit to drag them on shore. A few anxious moments passed and the signal was given that the sea was favourable for a run. A line of men who had fast hold of the rope darted up the beach, and in came the boat like lightning. The shore was reached in the very nick of time; one second more and all would probably have been lost. Joyful acclamations welcomed the gallant follows as they scrambled up the beach. The conduct of these men whose names are William Fiann, Joseph White, David King, John Fiann, John White, George H. Stone, Jonathan Gibbs, and Henry Mit chell, was beyond all praise, and they deserve well of their country. They will doubtless receive from the Admiralty a just reward for their noble ser vices on the occasion. The vessel was washed on shore shortly after the rescue of the crew, and be came a total wreck. It will be well to mention that in consequence of the great depth of water in the West Bay there is only one breaker, which in great storms presents a spectacle of much grandeur. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The New York money market exhibited a slightly improved feeling, chiefly owing to the growing conviction among bankers, capitalists, and business men that the political difficulties were not beyond adjustment at Washington. The favourable cha racier of the European advices, financially, had likewise a good influence. The supply of money on call was increasing, and rates in the open mar ket had receded about 1 per cent. Paper, however, was about as high and as difficult of sale as ever. The range for first class signatures was from 12 to 18 per cent. per annum, and not unfrequently good names were ever:. higher. TBE LATE KING OP PEUSSI-44. The death of the King of Prussia, after several years of retirement, is .not, and never would have been, an event of much importance in the eyes of those who interpret the signs and measure the seasons of the political heavens. Fortune herself denied to its late Sovereign that particular pattern of achievement and species of glory which takes most with ordinary men. Frederick William IV. was doomed from his infancy to be an almost pas sive spectator of fearful struggles and prodigious events. His first lessons in history were the suc cessive humiliations of all the German States, in which, perhaps, the part assigned by the conqueror to the Court of Prussia was the most inglorious of that age of degradation. After learning from his instructors, as far as he could appreciate the facts, the prostration and dismemberment of his father's realms, the Austrian dominions, and nearly every other Continental State, he had then to take in as well as he could the Battle of Austerlitz, that smote even Pitt to his grave, the extinction of the Ger man Empire, name and thing, and the threatened rise of a new Empire of the West, to which Ger many could give only tribute, vassals and slaves. The dream of a Northern Confederation was pro bably the first political idea of a hopeful character admitted into the young Prince's mind, and may not unreasonably be supposed to have taken root there, and borne branches and fruit under very different circumstances in long after years. The negotiations which weakly attempted to carry out this scheme might also be considered the model of Prussian diplomacy up to the present day. How ever, the pleasing vision was speedily and rudely dispelled by men who did while others thought and talked. The battle of Jena drove Frederick Wil liam 111. from his capital, compelled a vain appeal to Russia, and eventually deprived Prussia of half its dominions. The Sovereign who is just dead saw the Rhenish provinces given up by the timid friend to the daring foe, and learnt what to expect if he should ever again side with the one againe.st the other for any cause whatever short of servation. Such was the commencement .F2/,%ira-mb period in which, if Prince Frederick William indulged in honourable hopes and Pat h r. s ,. time, and otlc schemes he had to do so by stealth, bidin /acre were, looking for deliverance from os m u w t e w n ith w ° h u ose courage and indeed in his country state it even the m t sagacity enabled them quatioetly gather and train as tehre spirit of the age, and strength of Prussia for new struggle. At length the madness and disaster of the Russian campaign broke the rod of the oppressor and set the nations p rim i a , her armies and her chiefs; took a free. prominent and honourable part in the campaign that restored liberty to Europe, and introduced the longest, the profoundest, and the most prosperous peace of modern times. But, though the close of the war restored happi ness and honour to the House of Brandenburg, its minces still had their troubles and perplexities. Surrounded by powerful neighbours representing the greatest variety of principles, and with an un usual combination of discordant elements in its own people, Prussia was compelled to neutrality and inaction in spite of a thousand traditions and aspirations that urged her to movement, and even aggrandisement. Such a monarch as Fre derick the Great would only have been too glad to see the pillars of the earth shaken, the great deep broken up, and nations thrown into the pile, to be diFided again.
