The present meeting had been convened by the committee of depositors. Since the last meeting an adjudication in bankruptcy had been obtained, and a large sum of money had been collected by the official manager. Tn addition a considerable portion of the assets of the bank had been realised, amounting, he believed, to 130,000/. or 150,000/. After the adjudication in bankruptcy and the learned judgment of Mr. Commissioner Goulburn, it was supposed that the official manager appointed under the Winding up-Act, and acting under the instructions of certain shareholders of the British Bank, would quietly have allowed the affairs of the bank to have been carried on under the superintendence and jurisdiction of the Court of Bankruptcy; but, unfortunately, that gentleman, repre senting only himself, and being careful of his own interests,. had appealed against that decision. The decision and the appeal against it would come on for hearing to-morrow. After the appointment of the gfficial assignee in bank ruptcy application was made by Mr. Harding, the official manager, to prevent the official assignee from receiving any portion of the assets, and indeed Mr. Harding went so far as to endeavour to obtain an injunction against the assignee.;,V. hill-iachaneeKty4kilie tat mace: filed by the . offfeirit manager, and then an injunction was applied for not to restrain the official assignee from admi nistering the funds, but only to prevent him from interfer • ing with the official manager. An application was subse quently made to the Vice-Chancellor against the official assignee for contempt. During the time that the affairs in bankruptcy were going on, an application was made to the chief clerk of the Vice-Chancellor to delay the appoint ment of an official manager, but notwithstanding that the committee of depositors attended both personally and by counsel an appointment took place. Immediately after the appointment was made the official manager, thinking himself in the full exercise of all his functions, looked upon the estate as in his own hands, and from that hour to this had prevented a proper winding up of the affairs of the bank in bankruptcy. He (the chairman) believed that the assignees were in a position to declare at once a dividend of 4s. or ss. in the pound, payable on the 23,1 inst., and they looked forward to being enabled to pay a dividend of 10s. by the end of January ; but if the official manager were allowed to pursue his present reckless course the shareholders would be involved in great expense, and a delay of six or eight months would take place before the first dividend could be paid. (Hear, hear.) The official manager appeared to have only an eye to his ow - : interest, but he trusted that meeting would teach him that he was playing a rather dangerous game with 5,000 of the people of this country, many of whom were at this moment in a state of destitution and want. To show that the official manager had only been actuated by personisl motives, he (the chairman) would call attention to this one fact—that when the adjudication in bankruptcy took place the official manager urged the directors of the bank to appeal against it. They refused, and the official manager then went to the chief clerksand obtained an order from him. The official assignee had been recommended by Mr. Commissioner Goulburn to apply to the Vice-Chancellor to have the assets delivered up to him, and while that motion was being argued, and while it was supposed that the official assig nee might receive a portion of the assets from the official manager, what did the official manager and his advisers do? Why, he placarded all the different branches of the bank with bills, and issued 300 or 400 writs against the creditors, there being no necessity whatever for such a step, and the only conceivable object being to put costs into his own pocket. The Vice-Chancellor treated the whole pro ceeding as shameful, and ordered everything to remain as it was. The assignees then thought that they had a right to collect as much of the money owing to the bank as they could, and the official manager then applied to the Court for an injunction to restrain them. Solely through his pro c 2eding the administration of the estate had been delayed, and the object which Mr. Harding had had in view ap peared to have been not to benefit the shareholders and de positors, but to secure for himself the largest amount of percentage and coats which he could possibly obtain. To morrow the Lords Justices would decide the appeal which had been made; and if it were in favour of the committee, within 24 hours afterwards they ought to be in a position to receive the affairs from Mr. Harding; and yet it was said that in such a case Mr. Harding would cause further delay by appealing to the House of Lords. (Cries of " Shame !'' and "Lynch him !") This being the state of affairs, the committee had convened the present meeting, in order that the shareholders and depositors should be afforded an opportunity of expressing their indignation. .The state of the law itself was, no doubt, very bad, bus it was only by an expression of public opinio❑ that they could hope to shame the official manager into anything like decency. (Loud cheers.) The assignees, in their anxiety to protect the estate, had entered into negotiations with the official manager, and offered him certain terms; but unless he could have two-thirds of the estate he refused to enter into any negotiation at all. (Cries of "Shame !") He (the chairman) was not at liberty to enter into full details of the negotiation, but he believed that if he were to do so the cries of "Shame" would be even still louder than they were. Every one who was at all interested in the affairs of the bank must feel that the Court of Bankruptcy was the only proper court to deal with the matter. He did not wish any shareholder who might be present to go away with the feeling that the depositors did not sympathise with them. He felt assured that the depositors felt the warmest sympathy for their fellow-sufferers, and he believed that the only way in which the pockets of both parties would be saved would be to place the sole power of administering the estate in the hands of the Court of Bankruptcy. (Cheers.) Under the Winding-up Act the official manager would receive the enormous sum of 21,0001., but the whole cost of administering the estate in the Court of Bankruptcy would amount to 6,0001. At the present moment many executions had been taken out against share holders of the bank by judgment creditors ; but if the affairs were properly managed in bankruptcy none of those executions would be effective. (Hear, heal.) It might be asked how much of the assets of the bank would be administered in the Court of Bankruptcy. Mr. Coleman stated that the assets were about 2'0,0001., and a call which had been made would realise 150,0001., so that in round numbers the Court of Bankruptcy would have about 400,0001. to administer. Under the bankruptcy law the t call e re becameL whereas, an a if f s e t, the a o n ffid c c i o: l s 1 be m d anner by immediately a any adminis tered, mi quibble n ios of the law were enabled to retain the m•inagement of the estate, it might be months before the list of contributories would be settled and a call made upon them. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Harding said that he had used great skill and exertion, and that he had collected enough to pay a di vidend of ss. in the pound. He (the chairman) was sorry to say that that statement was not true. The money was lodged in the Bank in the joint names of Mr. Harding and the Vice-Chancellor, and the Vice-Chancel lor had refused to give his consent to the withdrawal of the money by Mr. Harding. That money was the property of the assignees; they had demanded it, and, supported by the opinion of the shareholders and depositors at that meet ing, he hoped "they would soon be able to distribute it. If, however, the official manager was allowed to continue the protracted litigation which he had commenced, it might be months, and perhaps years, before the estate would be administered. Mr. MAXWELL moved the first resolution : " That this meeting views with regret the pertinacity with which the official manager of the Royal British Bank resists the measures taken to secure an early, equal, and just administration of the assets in the Court of Bank ruptcy, and that both the shareholders and depositors re gard his appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor as antagonisti c to their interests, and only calculated to delay our dividends, diminish existing assets, and create enor mous but wholly unnecessary law costs." He looked upon the procedings of the official manager as precisely similar to those of a man who, having found a pocketbook in the street, refused to give it to the owner unless he would divide the contents with him. He trusted that hereafter proper steps would be taken for remedying the present state of the law, and awarding to the fraudu lent bank director the same punishment which attached to the most insignificant thief. (Cheers.) Mr. RICHARDSON seconded the resolution. Dr. OoppanD said he was one of the 70 gentlemen who were alleged shareholders. He represented these gentlemen that evening, and he was anxious to say that one reason why they had banded themselves together was that they thought the depositors had exhibited a desire to exact unreasonable terms from them. It had beee stated on several occasions that the shareholders were in a position to pay 20s. in the pound. Tho shareholders were, however, anxious to effect a compromise, and therefore they had formed them selves into an association. At the same time, he could as sure the meeting that there was not one of the 70 gentle men whom he represented who did not feel the warmest sympathy for their fellow-sufferers in this great swindle, and who would not go hand in hand with the depositors in putting a stop to the iniquitous proceedings of the offi cial manager. (Loud cheers.) He hoped that the deposi tors would find it to their interest to come to terms with the shareholders. They were all swindled together—both the depositors, who had placed their money in the bank, and the shareholders, who had gone a step further and taken for their deposits those villanous pieces of paper which were called "shares." The shareholders were now endeavouring to ascertain what every one of their body was worth, in order that a common fund mightbe raised, to which each would be called on to contributeaccording to his means. They did not countenance the step which Mr. Harding had taken, but, on the contrary, trey desired that the affairs of the bank might be administered by the Court of Bankruptcy. (Cheers.) In reply to a Shareholder, The CHAIRMAN stated that the Messrs. Linklater had been indefatigable in their exertions on behalf of the de positors and shareholders, and that if the affairs of the bank were in the Court of Bankruptcy the whole estate would be distributed i❑ a few mouths. The resolution was then put by the Chair:33:m and una. nimously agreed to. Mr. FOSTER, then moved the next resolution : " That the early division of existing assets among the creditors of the Royal British Bank and the immediate cessation of further litigation on the part of the official management is of paramount importance both to depositors and shareholders, upon whom exclusively the hardship of delay and the eventual payment of the law costs must fall; and the depositors and shareholders, therefore, concur in denouncing the litigious conduct of the official manager, dictated with a view to his own interests rather than a re gard to those of the depositors and shareholders." In regard'to the statement of Dr. Goldard, be wished to state that if the shareholders had been anxious to effect a compromise they ought to have met the depositors long before this, and offered them so much in the pound. (Hear, hear.) Dr. WARLEY seconded the resolution, which was unani mously agreed to. A vote of thanks to the Chairman then brought the pro• ceedings to a close. PE 4T,1,1 BE 7CH4 In our obituary of the 2d instant are have recorded the death of this celebrated Arctic navigator. Admiral Beechey was the son of the late Sir Wm. Beechey, R. A., portrait painter in ordinary to their Majesties Queen Charlotte and William IV. He was born Feb. 17, 1796, and entered the navy at the early age of 10 years, under the immediate patronage of Earl St. Vincent, in the Hibernia, 110. After a brief service in the Minotaur he accompanied Sir Sidney Smith in the Foudroyant, 80, to Rio de Janeiro. In 1811, while serving in the Astrasa, 42 q under Capt. Scbomberg, in company with the Phoebe, Galatea, and Racehorse, be assisted, after a long and gallant action, in the capture of the French frigates Renommea, Clorinde, and Nereide. On his return to England after some Channel service he was appointed to the Vengeur, 74, forming part of the ex pedition against New Orleans, where he served in the boats which dashed across the Mississippi with a detachment of troops, seamen, and marines, as a successful diversion in favour of the general attack upon the America lines ; and his first commission bears date March 10, 1815. In Sept. following he was appointed to the Niger, 33, on the North American station. It was on the 14th of Jam, 1818, that Lieut. Beechey commenced the first of those four voyages to the Arctic regions, the hardships of which, we fear, laid the foundation of that constitutional derangement which subsequent years of indefatigable bodily and mental exer tion have brought to its present premature termination. He was appointed to the Trent under Lieutenant and Commander Franklin, with whom he was thus one of the earliest companions, as he always remained his warmest friend. An interesting account of the voyage of the Dorothea and Trent on this occasion, which extended in the direction of Spitsbergen and terminated in both ships being compelled to enter the ice, by which the Dorothea •.vas so much disabled that Captain Buchan of that ship (the senior officer of the expedition) ordered its return, was published by Admiral Beechey in 1843. In January, 1819, he was appointed to the Hecla, under the command of Lieutenant (afterwards Sir Edward) Parry, with whom he penetrated to long. 113 deg. 54 min. within the Arctic circle, and wintered in Kelvins Island. 'ln both the above Arctic expeditions Lieutenant Beechey rendered great service by artistic and general observations. On the sth of November, 1821, he was ap pointed to the Adventure, Captain W. H. Smyth, who was then preparing to resume his survey of the northern coast of Africa. While attached to this ship Lieutenant Beechey was promoted to the rank of commander, and ap pointed, in conjunction with his brother, H. W. Benchey, Esq., to examine and report on the antiquities of the Cy• renaica, and of the ancient cities composing the Pentepo lis. Commander Beechey executed a survey of the entire coast from Tripoli to Derna, and the narrative of the ex pedition and description of the country, ruins, and anti quities has been published by that officer and his brother. In January, 1625, Commander Beechey was appointed to the Blossom, 24, in which he proceeded to the Pacific and Behring Straits to, co•operate with the Polar expeditions under Captains Franklin and Parry. During the three and a half years that he was absent from England he pro ceeded twice to Behring Straits, and in August, 1826, pe netrated to a point northward of Icy Cape, whence the ship's barge, under Mr. Eisen, the master, reached lat. 71 23, long. 156 21, only 116 miles from the extreme point reached by Captain Franklin overland. In the interval he pursued his researches in the Pacific, thus passing more than once from Arctic to tropical climates, where he dis covered and took possession of several new islands, among which ho once more brought to notice the crew of the Bounty on Pitcairn's Island (lately removed to Norfolk Island.) It was in 1827 Commander Beechey, now pro• moted to the rank of captain, discovered in the frozen regions a spacious and commodious haven, south-east ward of Cape Prince of Wales, which he named after his godfather, William Iv., Port Clarence. After a voyage of 73,000 miles, and rendering the most essen tial service to the science of navigation, the Blossom arrived at Spithoad in 1828. The na. rative of this voyage was also published by Captain Beo•ehey. Ia 1835 Captain Beechey was appointed to the Sulphur, for the purpose of continuing the same valuable survey in the Pacific; but his health gave way before he reached Valparaiso, and he was compelled to return home. From 1837 to 1847 Capt. Beechey was continuously employed in the survey of the Bristol and Irish Channels, and it 'is difficult to say whe ther his minute and accurate charts or his valuable tidal observations have rendered the more useful service to his country. From this important occupation Capt. Beechey 'was removed by the Government to constitute and super intend the Marine Department of the Board of Trade, in which he was actively and usefully employed at the date of his death. He was promoted to the rank of Rear-Admi lral in September, 1854, and filled the office of President of the Geographical Society. He only lately delivered his re port of the proceedings of that society, and an interesting obituary of those eminent members who had died during the past year, leaving a name to be added to the future list than which few can lay claim to the merit of a more laborious, talented, and useful life in the service of his country. A FRENCH IMITATOR OF DOTE. A grocer, named Lamy, of Chaumes, was a few days ago tried by the Court of Assizes of that department, for poisoning his wife. In 1843 he married a young woman, named Renard, who was of a mild and affectionate dis. position ; hut, being brutal and avaricious, he ill-treated her mo.t grossly, and deprived her of common necessaries. She, however, never lodged a complaint against him, but was an object of pity to all her neighbours. Not content with constantly ill-treating her, he established an adul terous connection with a married woman in the village, and took no pains to conceal his conduct. About two years ago his wife's sister, Adelina, then aged 17, went o live with them as servant, and he conceived a violent passion for her. In May last he succeeded in seducing her, and before long their connection became known, not only to his wife, hut to all the village, and to the girl's parents. After a while her father took her away, and this plunged him into despair. If e then ill• treated his wife more than ever, in order to force her to beg that her sister might be sent hack. This the poor woman after a while consented to, and on the 21st July last Adelina returned. On the 24th the wife was seized with violent vomiting, which continued for a week, when she died. Suspicion of foul play being excited inquiries were made, and it was stated by three or feur females, who had gone to attend the woman in her illness, that the man had prepared all the medicine for her himself, and that he took great care to throw away all that she ejected from her stomach ; the young woman Adelina, on her part, confessed, after some nesi ation, that he had often told her that her sister would not live long, and that after her death he would marry her ; it turned out, more over, that the man having in his youth been employed by a druggist, knew something about venemous sub. stances, and had a certain quantity of poisons in his posses sion, teuether with a book called V.Pfistoire des Drogues; lastly, it appeared from an examination of the woman's body that she had died of poison. The man in his defence denied his guilt, but being convicted by the jury, though with extenuating circumstances, he was sentenced to hard labour for life, GLASS-HAICERS IN THE OLDEN TIIIE.—The glass makers of Murano were not classed among the artisans f they received, as well from the Senate of Venice as from several foreign sovereigns, many prltilegek re markable for the age in which they were granted. Thtts the Venetian patricians might marry the daughters of the master glass-makers without derogating in any marl• ner from their dignity, and the children born from those marriages retained all their quarterings of nobility. And, further still, when Henry 111. went to Venice, in 1273, he granted nobility to all the master glass-inakers of Murano. It having been decided, by a resolution of the Corporation of Murano, that a golden book, like the Libro d'oro" of the Venetian nobles, should be esta blished for registering the names of the original families of Murano, the Senate confirnied the resolution on the 20th Aug., 1602. This book still exists in the archives of Murano. CONVENTION WITH HONDULAS. (From the New York Herald). The following convention between her Majesty arid the Republic - of Honduras, relative to the Mosquito Indians and to the rights and claims of British subjects, was signed at London Aug. 27, 1856:-- " Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Republic of Hondu ras, being desirous to settle by means of a convention certain points resulting from the territorial arrangements which form the subject of another convention concluded between them on this day, have named as their plenipo tentiaries for that purpose, that is to say, " Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Right Hon.

The Republic of Honduras engages not to disturb the subjects of her Britannic Maje.ty in the enjoyment of any property of which they may be in pos session in the islands of Ruatan, Bonaca, E ena, Utile, Barbarete, and Morat, situated in the Bay of Honduras. " Article 2. Her Britannic Majesty agrees to recognise the mid channel of the river Wanx or Segovia, which falls into the Caribbean Sea at Cape Gracia , s Dios, as the boundary between the Republic it Honduras and the territory of the Mosquito Indians, without preju dice, however, to any question of boundary between L the Republics of Honduras and of Nicaragua. I.4eflrb....sMgtbe gorytuito Indians have heretofore possessed and exercised righis — fri Ina - dyes the territories lying between the river Want or Segovia and the Ro man river, her Britann c M jesty agreed to recommend to the Mosquito Indians to renounce any such rights in favour of the Republic of Honduras, on condition of re ceiving from the Republic some reasonable sum by way of annuity for a limited period, to be pa'd half-yearly, as an indemnity and compensation far the loss and extinc tion of their interest in the said territory. When such an arrangement shall have been acceded to by the Mosquito Indians, her Britannic Majesty engages to recognise the sovereighty over the said territory as belonging to the Republic of Honduras ; and her Britannic Majesty and the Republic will, within 12 months thereafter, ap point two commissioners, one to be named by each party, for the purpose of determining the amount, the period of duration, and the time, place, and mode of payment of the annuity so to be paid to the Mosquito Indians as in demnity and compensation. "And whereas British subjects have, by grant, lea , e, or otherwise, heretofore obtained from the Mosquito In dians interests in various lands situated within that ter ritory above described, lying between the river Wens er Segovia and the river Roman, the Republic of Honduras engages to maintain and respect such interests. And it is further agreed that the commissioners mentioned in the present article shall investgate the claims of British subjects arising out of such grants or leases, or otherwise; and all British subjects whose claims by the com missioners shall be pronounced well-founded and valid shall be quieted in the possession of their respective in terests in the said lands.

THE LECTURING IVIONKEY.—Of one species which Buffon calls ouarine, " I have frequently," says Aisar grave, " been a witness of their assemblies a nd delibera tions. Every day, both morning and evening, the ens nines assemble in the woods to receive instructions. When all come together, one among the number takes the highest place on a tree, and makes a signal with his band to the rest to sit round, in order to hearken. As soon as he sees them placed, he begins his discourse with so loud a voice, and yet in a manner so precipitate that, to hear him at a distance, one would think the whole company were crying out at the same time ; however, during the time, one only is speaking, and all the rest observe the most profound silence. Wnen this is done, he makes a sign with the hand for the rest to reply ; and a t that instant they raise their voices together, until by anotLer signal of the hand they are enjoined silence. This itbey as readily obey ; till at last the whole assem bly break up, after hearing a repetition of the same preachment." PRINCE FREDERICK OF Pflutisia.—The Illustrated News of Saturday gives a skefch of the future residence of Prince Frederick William of Prussia and his intended Royal bride, and its correspondent 'writes from 'Berlin : " The journey of Prince Frederick William to England,te celebrate the English Princess's Roy ul birthday, is the most interesting subject of conversati on here at present. especially among the ladies, and ple ;saes their national taste, which is to oh ,, erve such al iniversaries strictly ; and no little Fren ch g irl on 1 ter fete-daylooks out more sharply for her souvenirs than does the Ger.nan fratzlein for her `intended's' ec.ngratel. atione and offer ings on that day.

THE NEAPOLITAN ARMY• (Front the Correspondence Italienve.) As the Neapolitan question at this moment is ligaging the attention of all Europe, it will per haps be interesting to our readers to see what Military force exists at present in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. We shall first give a list of the regiments consti tuting the army, and then offer some explanatory remarks relative to the composition of the several arms of the service. The Royal Guards consist of the infantry, com prising two regiments of grenadiers, one regiment of chasseurs, and one regiment of marines ; and of the cavalry, which comprises two regiments of hussars and one squadron of lifeguards. • The Royal Gendarmerie consists of two regi ments of Foot and one regiment of horse. The troops of the line are composed, as for the infantry, of tbirtt en regiments of national infantry, one regiment of carabineers, four Swiss regiments, twelve battalions of national chasseurs, one batta lion of Swiss chasseurs, sixteen provincial compa nies, one regiment of veterans, one depot of inva lids, one company of Swi-s veterans, and one company of carabineers, three regiments of dra goons, two regiments of lancers, and one regiment of chasseurs. The Artillery is composed of two regiments of foot, one of horse battery, one Swiss foot battery, one train battalion, and one brigade of pontouiers. The Engineers consist of one battalion of sap pers and miners, and of ono battalion of pioneers. Recruitment is effected by conscription in the Neapolitan States. The Sicilians are exempt from this law. The number of young men annually required to become conscripts is fixed at 12,829. The general staff consists of lieutenant generals, major-generals,-and brigs.die - iii,7 The - aar term as te r- Genera l's staff does not form a special corps, but consists of officers who may also belong to this or that regimental staff. The Horse Guards are all of noble birth, and each guardsman has the rank of officer ; the Foot Guards are non-commissioned officers who have been taken from the army, after serving for 12 years with a high character. The officers in com mand of these two companies have the rank of generals in the army, and the subaltern or under officers are staff officers or captains. The Guards have no privilege but that of doing duty near the King's person, with a slight increase of pay. The regiments of national infantry have each two battalions of six companies each when on the peace establishment, but three battalions of seven com panies each in time of war. In each battalion there are one company of grenadiers, four central com panies, and one of voltigeurs. When on the war footing the seventh company forms the depot. The regimental staff consists of 41 men in time of peace and of 49 men in time of war. Ten of this number are officers of all grades. A company has four officers, fourteen non-commissioned officers, four musicians (drummers, trumpeters, and fifers), one carpenter, and 81 privates—in all 104 men ; but in war time there are an extra drummer and 49 more privates—in all 154 men. The battalions of chasseurs consist of eight com panies each in time of peace, but of nine in time of war, the extra company forming the depot. The staff contains five officers, eight non-commissioned officers or workmen. The companies are organised like those of the line. The rifle battalion is quite a new creation. FEMALII DIPLOMACY. VIENNA, Nov. 27.—During the last few days some excitement prevailed in our diplomatic circles from the discovery of a scandalous breach of confi dence which forms a pendant to the celebrated case of stealing the despatches at Potsdam. In this case, however, the delinquent is a lady of great personal attractions, in whose saloons the highest of the aristocracy of this city meet frequently, as she receives almost every evening. The dupe of the lady is Prince —, who has only lately been appointed by his Sovereign as ambassador to the Court of Vienna. It aopears that shortly before his appointment the Prince had made the acquain tance of a French lady, who was so charmed with his talents and conversation that she removed also to Vienna, and being well introduced, set up a sort of political saloon, in which the questions more especially affecting the country represented by the Prince were discussed. During the late ministerial crisis at the Prince of course received numerous despatches informing him of all that was going on at home for his own private use and to regulate his conduct towards the other diplomatists. It so happened that a few days ago the Prince discovered, from what fell from the -- ambassador in a diplomatic conference, that he was acquainted with certain circumstances, which he could only have known through his own despatches, and his suspicions being excited he followed up the clue and traced it to the above named French lady, Madame de —. The end of the story is, that this lady has sold off her fur niture and broken up her establishment, having received a gentle hint from the police that the climate of Vienna was not suited for her. It has, however, created some surprise that the Embassy that profited so largely by The lady's abuse of con fidence has taken no step to prevent her banish ment, or in any other way to afford her protection. FOUNDERING OF ANOTHER STE AafER. _ The following despatch was yesterday transmit ted, by direction of the Lords Committee of the Privy Council for Trade, Whitehall, to Captain Halsted, R.N., the secretary of Lloyd's, reporting the loss of the steamer William Beckett, as coin municated to their Lordships by her Majesty's Consul at Cuxhaven, dated Nov. 19 :—" The Bri tish steamer William Beckett, of Goole, Captain John Holdridge, master, bound from Dantzic for London, with a cargo of wheat, peas, izq., was lost in the North Sea (where she sunk), 250 miles from Skagen, in deep water. I am, however, happy to say that her crew, 15 in number, were saved by the Danish schooner Eugenie, P. Soien sen, master, bound for Aarhus with coals, which vessel is now in our harbour (Cuxhaven)in a leaky and damaged state. The crew of the William Beckett succeeded in reaching the Euene with the assistance of Captain Soiensen, who managed his ship, which was herself in a desperate position, the best way he could, and appears to have had considerable difficulty in rescuing the poor fellows from a watery grave." They had nothing but what they stood in, and were furnished by the consul at Cuxhaven with the necessary wearing apparel. Both crews suffered greatly before they could make Cuxhaven in consequence of the cook house of the Eugenie having been washed over board, as they were without the means of obtain ing a warm meal for upwards of a week. The • conduct of Captain Soiensen is above all praise, and the consul strongly recommends that some ac knowledgment may be awarded him by her Ma jeey's Government. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, DEC. 2. We have had a decided improvement in the demand both for cloth and yaro in coneequence of the last advicoi from China. A circular from Hong Kong says :-- " We have the pleasure to advise a considerable im prevenient in our market for im ports during the past m onth, a better dem and having been experienced than for some time past , and an advanc e having been esta ebxlitsehoedd li toothmeo4stthairntiectl.e(sOctOobuerr)a,davnid e_e:frolShanghai announcen also in that port a bett er demand for exports.' The same circular states that cotton goods h a d ad vanced lic. to 20 c. per piece, and that cott on y arns likewise showe d a considerable advance on previous ouotations, chiefly, however, on the higher numbers. These advices have had an excellent effect on business in Manehester during yesterday and thi s morn i n g. Shirtings of all descriptions suitable for India and China have advanced lid. per piece, and the entire of the stocks on hand have been cleared off. In addition to this, some rather large contracts have been given out. In printing cloths there is no change, and long cloths, T cloths, and domestics remain rather flat. There has been a large business done in yarns for the China mar ket,including water twit from 16's to 24's and 30's ; and although a regular advance has not been given, prices may be quoted about ed. above the rates of last week. There has also been a fair business in hard twist for the Mediterranean market, at a slight advance, and the . market generally i n yarns has derived a little addi tional strength from the activity which has thus suddenly sprung up. Messrs. George Fraser, Son, and Co., say was more business doing for a few days past for China and the Ea s t, which has imparted a degree of firmness to the market. But at present the move ment does not there o beyond this in yarns. For India shirtings, however,s point of last week.

About two N. o'clock the smoke of divers steamers notified the approach of the Emperor. The guns on the differ- ent forts on the Lido reverberated over the city.; ~ the long galleries of the Doge's Palace, which had I been prepared for spectators.:became animated and crowded ; the bisonne assembled at the Giardino Publico ; the troops occupied the Piazza and Piaz zetta ; red cloth was laid down for the Imperial feet ; and - the great veteran of this or any other day, Radetzsky, became an object of admiration. But whilst expectation held her breath, the Impe rial steamer got hard and fast aground. The tide was still ebbing, and by a certain bad management, as far ak time was concerned, the royal squadron came into the difficult navigation leading to Venice nearly at low water. After a quarter of an hour, the vessel, bearing the standard of Austria, was seen again to move, and she rounded the last clump of piles which marks the deep water exactly at 3 o'clock, having accomplished the last turn not in the most seamanlike manner; for, although she had run a hawser out to swing her round, she was obliged to drop her anchor, and consequently to weigh it again. At this particular point the scene was most exciting. Two Austrian- men-of-war, do eased in colours, with the yards manned—the sea men waving their hats and cheering—the guns firing—the distant sounds of the busy hum of men —the toll of the Sacred Bronzes—the vast assem blage of boats—tbe thousands of flags from every ship off Venice fluttering in the light breeze --the clear view of the ducal paace, with the pillars which bear St. Theodore on his crocodile—the spicy, fiery looking Winged Lion of St. Mark's—with all the magnificent churches and campanile of this Ocean Queen, made the scene most imposing and beauti ful. England was represented by her flag on board the Caradoc ; which vessel having broken her main shaft had come up near the Giardino Publico to get repaired. She was, like other ves sels, dressed in colours, and contributed her share in the-show.- - The Imperial steamer,_ having got - - - - abreast of th e p u bli c gar d ens, the Emperor and Empress embarked in the Galleggiante, which, how ever gorgeous, was more like a loaf of sugar, en larged and carefully scooped out (but we must re member our own Lord Mayor's gingerbread barge and be discreet), followed by eight bisonne of the municipality, not to mention the Peote and the hisonue of the Church, and the nobility an d th e different consulates, bearing the flags of their respective countries, in the bows of their gondolas. The sea seemed alive with splendour. The clear ness of the day, the brilliancy of the boats, and the various uniforms made the Venetian waters sparkle as in the old days when Dodges were floated in the Bucentaur. A ward or two about this bis a nine before we proceed. They are long boats very awkward in appearance, dressed out in silks and satins. These boats are covered over with gay and fluttering awnings ; the bow has generally some fancy figure, hclding a light, thin, airy dra pery, under which stands—in the Imperial pre scence, or reclines in less majestic company—the owner of the bisonna. There was one that be longed to the Count Jacopo Treves, the crew of which seemed, in contradiction to Theodore Hook's sticking-plaster tights of the clergy, to have adopted gold-beaters' skin cossacks; and in the sunshine they cracked and sparkled gaily. An , other had all the rowers dressed like harlequins ; and a third wore Highland costumes, after the most approved Venetian taste ; but they all con tributed, by their gold and glitter, to enhance the brilliancy of the scene. In nearing the Piazzetta, where a temporary landing-place had been erected, the crowd of the vulgar gondolas de tracted from the show, which was not conducted with any kind of naval diseiL line, until at last the gondoliers' shouts, as they raised what Byron called their musical voices, not in " Tasso's echoes," but in rather coarse poetry, to warn each other to keep clear, seems to have been mistaken by the editor of the Gazzeta Ufflizale di Venizia for enthusiastic cheers. It is not the first time in another country where the same has occurred, and been recoiled as such. The royal party, duly escorted to St. Marco, returned thanks, no doubt with much sincerity, for having escaped the dangers of the sea voyage—and this, indeed, would only have been common grati tude, notwithstanding the calm—and then the Em peror having taken up his stand near the entrance -to his palace of the Piazza, the troops defiled before him to the cheerful notes of an Hungarian polka ; bows and salutations followed, and so far his Ma jesty was safe in his Italian dominions, and the glittering scene was over. Here, however, I must remark upon the military part of the show. I have never seen troops better dressed, more soldier-like in their demeanour, more accurate in their ma noeuvres than the Austrian soldiers on the Piazza. They reflect the greatest credit on the military go vernor, 6forzkowsli ' and of their respective offieers. The green sprig of leaf placed iu each hat gave a pleasant contrast to the white uniforms, which looked as clean, as speck and span, as ifjust turned out of the tailor's shop. The whole arrangements were admirably made and conducted—all but the naval department, for, as I said before, sufficient attention had not been paid to the order in which the comet's tail, represented by the sparkling boats, followed the Imperial Galleggiante. Most fortunate are the Venetians in the civil gover nor placed over them—the Count Bisseneen--.a man respected and beloved by all, and in the firm, gallant old soldier, the military governor. In the evening the Imperial party went to the Fenice. The national—perhaps the Imperial hymi would be a more proper name—was sung, and Albertini did here best in the "Lemma di Vergy." The city was by order, illuminated, and Neville, who had paid handsomely to have his suspension-bridge splen didly illuminated, might have had the mortification, if he was gazing on his powers of enlightening the Grand Canal, to see the whole snuffed out an hour after it was lighted by one gust of wind. He might have exclaimed, "Ye envious gods ! ye snuffed it out !" And they snuffed out many others, making a great saving of oil to the contractors. Before we come to the more important points, it may be remarked that Everything was propitious, and that everything passed off uncommonlyweldhAisitubsis, Italian is the Emperor's entrance t o his dominions, i t t h e i s a f c a t r u l a n l ore feeling, import ant politi c f a o l r l y yo s p u e a t k o i n b g e , l t n h f a o n r m o e f d all the glitter and gold of gingerbread hisonnas. Ido I do not believe there is one man in all Venice who is animated by any hatred to the Imperial family ; indeed, it would be difficult to dislike one so young, so courteous and kind as the Emperor, or one so lovely as the Empress ; if there is any hatred it is to the system, not to the peopl e . Of course t h e Venetian papers are filled with poetry as flattering as an epitaph ; and Correr, the Podesta, made the best of his subject when, in his address to his Ma- jesty, he said — " Deign to accept the devoted homage, by my mouth expressed, of the one hun dred and more thousand inhabitants of Venice." Gently, gently, Signor Podesta, you wear specta cles, and p: rhaps you do not see very clearly ; and if, as you say, " the whole city rejoices and is proud to possess the sacred person of your Impe rial Majesty," they might have expressed it them selves in cheers which. would have been raised in the public garden, been taken up and more loudly swollen along the Schiavoni, burst into a thunder storm on the Piazza, and died in faint echoes over the Giudecca and the Fondamenta Misericordia ; but where is the historian who dares to pen sua falsehood ? Th e recep ti on was fairly respectful, but there was no ebullition of joy to make the eyes wet or th e h ea rt beat ; even at th e o p era many boxes w e re vacant, and in the pit many th e re any fear stalls with ou t a t enan t, nor was . of bein g squeeze d into a mumulY n Still, when his Majestyappeared , ' the lobbies. there was every demonstration of respect ; now, indeed, even if it were not sincere, and i I believe it was sincere, a wake a great noise in the Fenice ; besides ill would very few paid voices .°h, in carefully scanning w pass i ona te admirer would the company, the most mber of white unforms, and boxes l in w hich stars and uniforms fair to say, I heard neither is public nor in p riv a te discern e many, theimmensemany prevailed.
