General, anxious try Promote rapidity and correctness in the delivery of letters, has, for postal purposes, divided London and its environs into ten districts, each to be treated, in many respects, as a separate town • and to render this arrangement effectual, he earnestly requests that every lucans may be taken by the public for causing letters to be directed according to the district for which they are intended. !Initials will suffice, and for the house at which this notice is left the initials are W. C., the district being the Western Central. In the direction of a letter, these initials should be legibly written in a separate lino, and should in all cases end ties address, thus : JAMES TIIOMPSION. Esq , COO, High Holborn, VF. C. when the letter is from the country, thus : JAMBS THOMPSON, Esq., 5500, High Holborn, London, W. C. Among other means of inducing this practice, it is sug gested that, when convenient, each resident of the Western District should add the name of the district, or the to his own address inside his letters when writing to his ci,rre spondeu ta, and on his address card. Also, that if in busi ness, b e should give the name of the district, or the initials, in tb e heading of bills or invoices, in advertisements or Pla•er.rds, and on any article of manufacture which may bear his address. _ 'Correspondents not attending to the above arrangement, could be requested to use the initials in reply. Information as to the district in which any locality is in eluded may be had at any receivin•house in London and its environs, or at any head post-office in provincial towus, at all of which alphabetic lists of streets, &c., will be kept for referenee. The British Postal Guide, which can be procured (price 6d.) at any head post-office, will hereafter contain a similar street list showing the district initials : and Ike information, the Postmaster General is assured, will be given in the London Post Office Directory for the year 1857, in the part headed " Street Directory." The following additional information may prove useful : TABLE OF DISTRICTS. Names. Eastern Central District Western Central District - - Northern District North Eastern District Eastern District south Eastern District Southern District South Western District Western District North Western District ... Initials. W. C. N. N. E. E. S. E. S. S W. w. N. W. If the initial letters be thus regularly appended the depart raent will be able to assort with facility and correctness the conntry letters, according to their respective districts, before they reach London in the morning. By a recent improvement about 60,000, or fully one-third, of such letters are already so assorted with as much correct mess as circumstances allow - a change which has greatly ex pedited the delivery; and it is hoped that, if the previous assortment, with full facility for correctness, can be extended to all, this advantage, seconded by other improvements now in progress, will eventually secure to the public the benefit Oa further and important acceleration of the morning deli. Very, throughout London. By command of the Postmaster-General. ROWLAND HILL, Secretary. General Post-office, Dec., 1856. T HE MONS UNITED COLLIERIES COMPANY (Limited).

Temporary Offices No. 46, Moorgate•street. The object of this Company is to develope the resources of 1 ertain collieries, situated in the most central and best portion , of the well-known coal basin of Mons, in Belgium. They tetnprise two distinct sections, of which part is already in full working operation, and the remainder consists of conces 14ne front the Belgian Government, granted on condition that the coal shall be worked rae unworked concession, known as " Bonne Victcire, altviated at Asquillies, and those applied for, severally called !` l llons Nimy" aria " Ghlin," occupy an are a of 18,000 acres ; I h6 well-ascertained coal seams run through their whole I *:tent„ The oollieries in full work are five, viz., " Bonne Veine," : Bonne Esperance," Seize Actions," Ste. Cecile," and Midi du Flenu." They comprise an area of 2,1100 acres, w ith the right of working sixty•two seams of coal. It is cal ted that their produce could be largely increased, within ,Ztre years, at an outlay of 20,0001. (See Engineer's Report,) fro) plant and other works are ample, well constructed, and • Flhstantial ; the engines now at work give an aggregate power !el 939 horses. These collieries are now yielding a minimum !tet profit of 40,0001 per annum (see Report), and it is agreed that a preferential interest of 6 per cent. per annum on the 'capital now to be raised shall be the first charge on these l'etrtrik Tha confidence of the vendors of the working Collieries in .511 e s uccess of their new undertaking is further shown by their agreeing to accept in p ar t p a y men t o f th e i r p ro p e rty ,OAO shares (representing 200,0000 denominated Fl shares, 'Wh , ,ch, though considered as paid up, are only to receive di '"hl‘ends in proportion to the amount' paid the A shores ‘eirered to the public. The remainder of the up on purchase money, tensisting of 254,0001., is to be paid in cash, out of the first lauds of the Company, at any time within two years from !th,„e incorporation of the Company T wo -thi r d s of the above 4 u,000 shares will be annulled should the new concessions, ' c ontrary to expectation, fail in yielding coal of a good com. a nereial quality, and this proportion of the shares in question 'WM list be .handed over to the sailers until such produce be lesai sed. The coal is generally of a semi-bituminous quality. it i s l oaded at the sever al pit-mouths into the waggons of th e !Northern Itai:tway of France for conveyance to Paris and the t owns and "manufactories along the line, at which there is a Feat demand, and also into tho se of the Haut et Bas F lenu ' 4l .llway (which traverses the collieries of the district, and e ..? l : ll lects thew with the net-work of the State Railways of Bel g') for the supply of the towns and the extensive manufac luring districts of Flanders ; the greater proportion of the bal, however, is conveyed by the Conde Canal, on the banks „,"'; Which there are extensive sheds, where the boats are loaded, the-oe existing facilities for transit will be f urther extended b y railway now in construction between Mons, Haumont, 844 . Maubeuge. The constant demand by railways, iron rorks, gas-works, and for other manufa cturing and house :told purposes, is ore than sufficient to absorb , at all times, ' O 4 utmost produce of the collieries. At the request of the Directors, a detailed report on the Present state of the collieries at work, and to be worked, was prepared by the eminent French Civil Engineer, Mr. F. N. pUdot, which report has been confirmed by Mr. It Gain, a local mining engineer of great experience. Subsequently Mr. Charles Manby, C.E., was deputed to verify the stateme nts made, A majority of the Directors have also lately made a Personal visit to the collieries, and having taken every me ans , Patisfy themselves of the soundness of the undertaking, 1 4° d the truthfulness of the above reports, they now feel justi "d ini inviting the investment of capital in the Association. The capital of the Company is divided into 100,000 shares 101, each, which are sub-divided into two classes, viz., A Zreferential Shares, and B Free Shares. The deposit will be 4 44 ,.. per share, and the first call of 21 . p er share will be duo on the Ist June, 1857. The vendors consent to waive their claim to any dividend l', l l their B shares till 6 per cent, shall have been paid on all re A. shares, thus in fact giving to the A sharehol ders a pre ferential dividend to the amount of 6 per cent. ; and in the pent of the winding up of the Company's affairs, the amount I , a-id on the A shares will be repaid to their holders before I nY payment is made on the B shares. Dividends will be paid half-yearly at the Company's bankers London, Mons, and Paris, upon whatever amount may be paid up on the several shares. The administration of the Company's affairs in Belgium is carefully provided for. The various reports alluded to in this prospectus have been Printed, and may be obtained on application at the Com 14nY's office, as also a chart, showing the position of the c ollieries and the new concessions. Applications for shares must be accompanied by the bank °tie receipt for a sum equal to one pound upon every share 4 Pplied for. The deposit will forthwith be returned on such hares applied for as may not be allotted. Forms of application may be obtained at the brokers' ; a nd at the offices of the Company, 40, Moorgate•street. Each applicant for Shares will be required to pay into one of the Bankers of the Company, one pound (11.) per Share, en the numbers of Shares applied for, in part payment of the "Posit of 21., in exchange for which a voucher will be i !:en. In the event of the Direct ors allotting less than the Whole number applied for, the amount paid in will be appro priated towards the deposit of (2/ ) per Share payable on those a llotted. Should no allotment be made to the applicant, the • m oney ledged at the bankers' will be forth with returned free n t "'charge. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

Sir,—With many thanks for the candour and spirit of fair play in which you.inserted my former replies to the Times, and in asking you to insert the accompanying letter, I can venture to point to the fact that my advocacy of the ballot is point. edly divested of all party bias. I am, Sir, yours obediently, F. HENRY F. BERKELEY. Victoria-square. TO THE EDITOR OF THE Sir,—You will scarcely refuse me a reply to your last article on the ballot, seeing that you have quitted—per haps you will be very angry if I say that you are beaten off—your original ground, and now take up a new posi tion. So far from being angry or petulant, I never was better pleased than in reading your leading article this morning, and observing that you had followed my ad vice, and eschewing all attempts at argument, have had recourse to your sharp-bitten barking cur again. Tell us that the ballot is a fox, a bull, or a boar (spell that word " bore" if you like), that it comes in with green peas, or asparagus at grouse time, or with mincepies and turkeys at Christmas; all that will be quite a la Times, we have heard it before, and it will do aoio. From the profusion of bark and the absence of bite in the animal, which to follow out your simile you keep to worry the ballot fox, and from its want of instinct as to English affairs " I do let loose mine opinion, hold it no longer," this is no English our that snarl), but some Dingo doz, imported from ,Australia, and borrowed from • the menagerie of sonic • Whig z . )ologist. I will now say one word as to your attempt at argument, which I coofe , ,s asto ni-bee me. Who the writer of the article may be, aho never met with any man who wanted the ballot for him self, the privacy of the Times' editorial ballot-box forbids my knowing* The statement is calculated to fill the mind with awe and to throw a halo (4 mystic sole unity over the subject. Fancy a haggard s'udent who wastes il l , midnight oil, wrapped in contemplation and employed in the solution of great metaphysical questions, and wild never mixes with his fellow-men, such a person must the gentleman be who never met Kith a man who nestle-i protecOon in giving a vote. The sacred Vclowgerielit of Printing-house-iqu:sre, camposel of sneh plillo, , pher,, must be regarded with wooder, but if I or any ot-,er in- I dividual had ventu re d to make the a-sertion. that of the hundreds of thousat;ds of men who have p:ititioned fa. _ - - the ballot no one Mall n , :eded it- for himaelf, called for the measure from clniplaisance.• or spite to oth,rs, and at tne smi.gestions of mull 00 ,piat forms who get up the cry, heaven knows why 'or for what, I should expect to be accused of ;;roes ignorance or impudence, or both. Lot any man among your writers, who has not passed his life in sonic remote c•4lony, and who knows the character and the habits of th,, p,-,./3:e of this country, answer this question. If the ballot is not needed by the people—if it be, as you say, needed by no body for himself, but for somebody else, nob.niv knows who or where, would it be po,sible " in any considerable town to get as many siernatures as may he ordered to a petition fur the ballot ?" Is it the habit of E,glishrnen to leave their business and their firesides merely because they have the opportunity of insulting 200 or 300 - other people ? You assume the meetings at GreenwieL. ard _Lambeth did not want ;he ballot for themselves. On wt at grounds do you found this assumption ? The Times cannot expect the public to deal with a fact solely from the knowlelge possessed by some gentleman who writes articles for a given sum of money ; and, how ever inflated may be the importance which the Tinter at tributes to the infallibility of its writers, their bold asser tions will not disprove notorious facts. Is the Tines ignorant of, or does it deem it convenient to ignore the evidence taken by Mr. Grote's committee in 1335, with its cases of political persecution ? Nine hundred pages of evidence there are which it becomes every man to have a knowledge of before he ventures to write on the question the sulject of which was dissected by that corn. mittee. Ara the election committees from that day to this, with their evidence of the need of protection to the elector, to go for nothing ? Aro the detailed cases by members of Parliament made year after year to go for nothing ? And is it to be expected nat any man not ab solutely an idiot is seriously to believe that of the hun• dreds of thou ands of petitioners for the ballot not °ne is to be found who wants the ballet for himself ? "We do not believe in the existence of that pretended race of animals, electors voting against their convictions to please customers and employers," says the Tines. The evi lence before Mr. Grote's c , .nrituitte remains not only undisputed and ungaimayed, but added to by every suc cessive election committee, confirmed by every general election, and established beyond the possibility of con tradiction by the columns of the Times itself. What is the meaning of the word "influence," which you meet with in DA's "Electoral Facts"- _and, other similar Wiltks,• but a po orer which Commands and guides voters irrespective of the only influence recognised by the de stitution—the opinion of the voters. Any man who has ever canvassed a borough or a county will be at no loss to call to mind numerous individuals of that "prebn led race of animals" whose existence you feign to disbelieve. The Times accuses those who advoca'e the ballot (if having Utopian notions. On the contrary, it is the Times which creates an imaginary body of elector , , be yond the control of landlords, creditors, and cusioiner , . Virtuous Britons—perfect Job Thornburr, or Partner A.shfields—who will meet rum boldly rather than flinch in the cause of conscience, under whose frown the cue r,omer quails, before whose virtue the landlord withers. To such men the ballot might be an insult. Unless in Utopia where are wo to fed a body of such men, and it such rant be Selliq3 what is fl ydoo.lle ? As to the kind of influence practised at the list gene ral election, you are mistaken in saving it was wily ~f "mere-nary kind " To hack tny opieion I refer to the Edinburgh Rericts (for Oci - .o,er, 1852), auother ante allot erg,an, which admits t!)at, the anvoint of iritirnt , ation practised at that election was indeserb,ble. The lair. general el ction, y.at say, did not present the are atrocious features as former elections, f. , r no elec tion was ever less po - itical. True, but it wa, a great party contest. Lord Darby, at the head of the Coo frprva.tives, likes Dickens's Lord Doodle, threw hinistif on the country "in an auriferous and malty shower;" while the free trade Whi g landlords, emulatlng Sr Thomas Fondle, controlled the votes of their Pr itestlut, tenants, and rivalled their opponents in their use of sovereigns and beer. With regard to the farmers my reply is simply the law gives them the right to vote as they please. If you, as I believe from your article you do, think they are not fit to vote as they {_lease, say so ; at any rate, they are as fit to vote for themselves as the majority of landlords or stewards are to guide them. I have not with scores of farmers who want the ballot for themselves, and woull vote differently under its protection. There can be no doubt but that for the undue influ ence of Whig landlords over the tenant-farmers, a ma jority of whom were Protectionists, the Conservative party would have been strengthened by the addition of many county members. With regard to the efficiency of the ballot to prevent " mercenary influences," you must bear in mind that with the ballot every fact as to bribery will remain as open and capable of proof as now, save the great induce ment to bribe, viz., the fact that the vote is given in return for the money paid for it. As regards the responsibility of the elector, I utterly deny that secret voting severs him from the only respon• sibility of whose existence I am aware, the obligation to vote according to his conscience, it matters not for whom. If he cannot openly vote according to his conscience he has a right to be protected by secrecy ; to what man or body of men electors are responsible, and who, conse• quently, has a right to know how any particular elector votes, I will thank you to inform me. As to the parity of the cases of the elector and the writers of the press, of which you truly say you will hear more, I will answer your objections categorically. Under the ballot a number of persons acting together e., the constituency—would be responsible for the result if, as the Times lately, in the case of Mr. Smith, of Crimean fame, they commit a breach of the law. The responsibility of the aggregate constituency would exist as the responsibility of the aggregate Times does exist, but as the particular person who wrote the libel against Mr. Smith was on grounds of public policy, " severed from all visible responsibility," so the particular voter would, with the ballot, have the same protection. A recent num ber of the Illustrated Times contains the following vindi cation of the right of journalists to the protection of secrecy. I quote from memory, but the quotation is substantially accurate :—" A journalist needs the pro tection of secrecy because he has no official protection ; the parson has his cloth, the lawyer his gown ; the jour nalist has neither ; but for his privilege of anonymous writing he would be a universal cocksby ; the public offender, when castigated, would attack him as the en minal occasionally throws his shoe at the judge, con founding between the law and him who administers it." This is answerable ; but it is as unanswerable for the voter as the journalist. One word more as to the tam pering with voters under the ballot. Grant that under the ballot you can easily tamper with votes after they are gives, and that under open voting, to use Mr. Cobden's celebrated phrase, "a record is kept again st every man how he votes." Stitl, believing as Ido that votes are now as much tampered with before they are recorded as with the ballot they could he after they were given, I do not see the overwhelmieg superiority of the open over the protected system. But how stands the fact ? Take the New England states of America where a proper system of ballot prevails. Are the ballot boxes tampered with there ? Name your in stances. In Belgium, Holland, Sardinia, Victoria, are there cmnplaints otitarepering with the electoral urn ? If there are, particulari-e them ; if nut, what becotne. of your theory ? As to France, the country I have nut before named, if you refer to the evidence of the French gentlemen examined before Mr. Grote's committee of 1835, you will find testimony to the 'value of the ballot to restrain the undue influence of the Government at elections. As to what has occurred since that time, I believe the election. in 1848, of the present Emperor to the representation of Paris, and afterwards to toe presi clentAip of the republic, correctly expressed the public Opinion of Franco. The eketioes of 1851 and 1852 either were or were not similar expressions. It they were, public opinion in France was in faycur of de. ( spotie government If they were not, a mock expression of public opinion was .sbtained by force, as is too often the case with our English electicinv.—l am, &c., Victoria•square. F. HENRY F. BERKELEY. AMERICA. THREE DAYS LATER. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY EVENING: By the United States' mail steamship Arago, Captain Lines, we have dates from New York to the 13th inst., 32 passengers, $357,000 in specie (of which $34,000 were for L )ndon), 1,500 barrels of flour, and 3,000 bushels of grain for Havre, and the usual mails. The mail steamer_ Africa, Cmpt. Shannon, from Liverpool, arrived at New York on the 13th inst., and the Anglo-Saxon, from Liverpool, the . loth. at Por tland The City, of Manchester steamship arrived at Philadelphia on the 10th. She left Liverpool on the 19th Nov., and encouutered a succession of westerly gales. On December 20, in lat. 46° 15', long. 38°, the Arago exchanged signils with the ship Lady Frank lin, bound cast. Both branches of Congress at Washington, on the 10th, were engaged in a discussion of the message and the reception of a few petitions, one of which was from Me. Wheeler, 'asking to be refunded cer tain moneys - which h e had given to distressed Ame ricans in 11 icaragua, who had been robbed and wounded at Virgin Bay by the natives, - and Who had applied to the Legation for assistance. • Commo dore Jones also petitioned for a restoration of the pay deducted from him by a 'court martial several years ago. -The President has appointed J. 0. Harrison, of Kentucky, as Judge for Kansas, in ' place of Judge Lecompte, removed. In the Senate, on the 11th, Gen) Cass made a speech, reiterating his opinion on squatter move reignty, the subject under discussion being the Pre sident's message. Mr. Hale stated that the Republi can party meant to apply the principle of the exclu siou of slavery in the territories it 1860,ashe believed they would then posSess the p iwer to du so. Mr. Hale exhibited a handbill in wilich Mr. Bigler was charg©d with tieing a; speakei at a Democratic meet ing iu favour of Buchanan, Breckieridge, and Free , Kansas, which brought Mr. Bigl rto feet, who denied the ituputation. 'The Senate then adj , urneil till Monday. In the Hou-e there was consi :erable discussion ou squatter sovereignty, which, as ex plained by General Casi, was repudiated by the , VArginia delegation. There appeared to be con siderable diversity of opinion ainong the Detnocra tic members regarding it. The signers of the me morial presented to the House for the erection of Arazona into a territorial government represent that they are cut off by natural barriers from the benefit of the laws of New Mexico, being nominally only in the county of Donna Ana; without any of the privileges or safeguards of citizenship, and ex posed to savages. A despatch from Washington, dated the 12th inst„,says "Mr. Broom introduced to the House a bill providirg for a contract with Mr. Vanderbilt for carrying a monthly mail between New York and Southampton in steamers to make as good time as the Cunardere, and for every 12 hours over their average time a reduction of $l,OOO to be made. This line is in addition to those already in existence, and is deigned to test the relative merits of the English and American stenmships. Van- derbilt is here,lwith all his I.mby strength, toping to get his bill through. It is understood that ne has connected himself with Sibo and Co., and will furnish the steamers for the new Tehuantepec route. This acciunts for his contemplated visit to New Orleans in the Daniel Webster." The debate in the Southern Convention on the 10. h inst. was very important and exciting, being on Mr. Goulding's resolution to reopen the slave trade, which 'was warmly advocated by several members and as strenuously opposed by others. The resolution was finally lost by an overwhelming vote. Resolutions were offered relative to a rail road to the Pacific. The first, which declares that Government has no power to construct a rail road, was adopted. The second, that a road should be made along the.line of the 32d parallel of lati tude by States, individual subscribers, and grants of land by the Federal Government, &c., elicited much debate. TheliAbjept Airltfutally recommitted.. The New York Herald pahlishes au extr.ct from a letter written by Captain Peabody, of the packet ship Neptune, to Messrs. Puirier and Co., in which it is stated that, on the 7th of November, a boat belonging to the wrecked steamer Lyonnais was picked up by the Neptune while on her voyage to Liverpool. No persons were in the boat when found, from which circumstance it is thought pro bable they were rescued by some outward bound vessel, and carried to a foreign port. The Democracy of the city of New York gave a complimentary serenade to the Run. J. Walker, for his services to Mr. Buchanan in the late Presi- dential contest, at the New York Hotel, on the evening of the 10th. On the llth the New York - Republican Caitral. Union met and p,Loc,ed,d in a body to the re•si dence of Co!unel Fremont, where the gallant Col , aiel gave them a hearty Kole. The papers publish telegraphic despatches from various parts of the country relative to the insur rectionary movements the negroes iu L b, .":-L'outti, which have created nu little excitehient iu that region. The Evansville Journal (Indiana) of the 6th inst., says : _ _ " We had very strious and alarming reports in our city last , evet.iu4 from the Cumb e rla n d r i ver i n regard to the movements of the blacks ; and, fr-m all we have heard, the excitement among the people through the middle district of Tenues! , ee is far greater and more general than we supposed when we wrote the article in another part of this morning's sheet. Through what is c AMA the iron district e on the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers there an; from b,OOO t 4 10,000 slaves employed a' the ironworks ; tuey ar, there congregated in large nuinoers, working in the various labours of making ciarcoal, digging ore, and tending the furnaces, in gangs, mostly by th, uiselves, with a few whites for general overseers. There are many of these works situated within a few miles of each other, and in sections that have few white inhabitants. " A gentlemen who arrived here last evening informs us that at Dover, on the Cumberland, they had obtained such evidence as left no doubt of a widespread conspiracy existing in that neighbourhood, and that a number of the ringleaders had bean discovered and arrested ; that 11 of teem had been hung by the excited inhabitant , , and that among those arrested was a person who had been in the neighbourhood many months, who had al ways passed as a negro, but on his arrest was found to be a white man, painted and disguised as a negro. Our informant says the people, being satisfied that he had been the prime mover and instigator of the rebellious design of the blacks, took him to the woods, and by the unanimous condemnation of those present he was sen tenced to receive'9oo lashes, and that be expired before the penalty had been fully inflicted. These occurrences had produced general consternation and terror, and the women and children were fleeing and being sent off for safety. The men were arming and organising for defence, and the negroes were being crafted, or kept under very vigilant watch. " A good deal of excitement has existed for some days about Clarksville and the neighbouring counties in Ten nessee by the discovery of the preliminary preparations of an insurrection among the slave population, to come off on the 24th of December. A great number of negroes had been arrested and confined, and several bad made confessions. In the neighbourhood of Louisa Furnace, a plan to blow up a church was discovered and thwarted. A keg of powder had been placed under the building, ready for the fatal match. A large collection of arms and ammunition had also been discovered and seized. One white man, who was caught in the act of counselling the insurrection, had been arrested and imprisoned. Among the negroes arrested and confined are the sup posed ringleaders—the generals and captains, as they are called—of the movement. " The opinion is that the plot is deep laid, a n d en , braces slaves throughout a wide extent of country, ra n g ing from Kentucky south and west, a n d the to have designed a general insurrection during Pa t ia h il e s h e o e t i n . days.

The weather at New York, which had been very fine for several days, took a sudden change on the 10th. A violent storm of wind and rain set in early in the day, and lasted until evening, when it cew el, and thenioon shone out brightly. In some localities much snow had already fallen. At Janes ville, in Wisconsin, the snow fell to so great a depth and drifted so much as to put an effectual stop to, railroad locomotion for several days. In Massa chusetts the sleighing was capital and the weather cold. Advices from Kansas to the 3d inst. state that the Freestate Militia had been disbanded at their own request. Sixteen of the Freestate prisoners on trial for murder had been acquitted. Nine still remained to be tried. The steamship Texas, with California dates to the 20th November, and San Juan dates to the sth inst., arrived at New Orleans on the 12th inst. The steamship Tennessee left San Juan for New York with- $270,000.in treasure. The vote of Cali fornia for President stands as follows :—Buchanan, 60,000 ; Fillmore, 35,000 ; Fremont, 19,000. Buchanan's majority over both, 6,000. The Demo crats also obtained aniajority in both branches of the State Legislature. The California markets generally were dnII. • The news from Nicaragua is highly important. General Walker had been successful in a series of battles with the Central Americans. On the 10th ult. General Hornsby, with 200 men, defeated 1,100 of the enemy under the Costa Rican General Canas. The enemy lost 200, while Hornsby had only two killed and 11. wounded. Four days' fighting at Messaya - had eiided in the' entire defeat ,of , the enemy. General Walker bad returned to Grenada, aud, after giving three days' notice of his intention to allow time for the removal of valuables, firedthe place, not leaving a vestige of it.. The inhabitants of Grena.ela had removed to Rivas with all their effeets, which will hereafter be the capital of Ni caragua. A naval battle had taken place between the Nicaraguan war schooner Granada., Captain Frayseue• and a Cest a Rican talc.' e . of war three times the size of the Granada. The Costa Rican vessel was blown up, and cli on bard of her perished. It is estiineted that the enemy has lost 3,000 men in the various battles since October. In the New York money market, on the 12th, stocks were active and firm ; the news from abroad continuing favearable, a further improvement of prices was anticipated. State stocks, with. limited tra.nsaetions, were • nuchane,ed. Railroad bonds were in good demand and higher. In railroad shares a very large teisiness was done, and there was a general advance of prices, although at the close of the Fiist Beard the buoyancy fell off. The aggregate sales amount to about 21,000 shares. New York Central improVed ; Erie ; Reading 14; and Western shares, from to s per cent. ; except •Cnicago and Rock Island, which did not fully sustain the previous day'ti price. . Illinois Central sold at 119 k, equal to au advance of 1± per cent. The cotton market was firm, with sale's of about 1,000 to 1,500 bales. The news by the Africa was not considered unfavourable, and hence holders continued to stand out, for full.prices. Flour was firmer, with m to activity, the market closing, however, without change of` importance in prices. The firmness of holders .checked sales of wheat, which were quite moderate, and chiefly at the previous day's prices. Corn was steady, with sales of distilling lots at 68c., and. of sound Western mixed at 70c. to 71c: Among the sales were 5,000 bushels new Southern yellow, at 70c. Pork was rather heavy, with moderate sales at unchanged prices. The sales of sugars were confined to 300 to 400 hogsheads Cubs muscovado, and 200 to 300 boxes, at full prices. Coffee was more active ; 2,801) bags BAliia were sold for export, and the balance of an old cargo 'of Rio, with 200 bags Maracaibo. Grain freights were lower for Liver pool, while engagements both to that port and to London were to a fair extent. WEST INDIA MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY. The Royal Mail Company's steam ship Dee, Cap tain Woolcott, arrived this morning from her inter 7 colonial station in the West Indies to Undergo re- ' pair. She hrings a small mail from St. Toomas's only, but no passengers or cargo. The Wye's missing wails havo not come, as was expected, by ihis steamer.

Walker, E , q., Mayor, in the chair adopt a petition to Parliament, and take other mea sures for the repeal of the income tax. The speakers were Mr J.sept , Soaker, J P., Mr. Alderman Mea,e, Mr. Alierman Pow, Mr. Leslie, arid Mr. Sh.,tto❑ ; and it was res , lved that the ii , come tax laws were, in their present form, unjust and oppressive, and ought not to be tolerated by a free people ; and that the country should be satisfied with nothing less than their total repeal. A petition was also adopted praying the repeal of the tax. The speakers especially dwelt on the inquisitorial and unequal nature of this tax, more especially alluding to the unfairness of the commissioners in allowing insur ance on sea risks by policy as legitimate deductions from income tax, and refusing to allow averages. Mr. Pow thought that the tax could not be avoided before 1860, but he argued that the double tax laid on to meet the requirements of the late war should be at once removed, otherwise the Mi , i=try would be guilty of a breach of faith.—Sunderland Herald. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Alnwick ,called by requisition to the Chamberlains of the borough, wa , held in the Town Hall, on Tuesday, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of petitioningthe Legislature to reduce the income tax. Thera was a large and respectable attendance of parties interested in the equitable adjustment of this unpopular impost. Mr. G. Tate, son., chamberlain, in the chair. A series of reso lutions wree moved by Mr. Wm. Johnson, and seconded by Mr. J. Horsley, and unanimously adopted, to the effect that the present charge of ls. 4d. in the pound on income is oppressive, and as, when the act passed in creasing the tax to that amnity, a pledge was given by the Government that the increased rate should be con tinued for one year after the termination of the war, and no longer, this meeting considers that the additional burden of 9d. iii the pound should be taken off from and after the sth of April next. That experience has proved that the present system of levying the income tax leads to evasion, and in many instances to false returns, and that iu consequence it work:4not only oppressively, but also unequally and unjustly. That a petition be sent to the House of Commons, embodying the foregoing resolutions, and earnestly praying that. the income and property tax be at once re need from is. 4d. to 7d. in the pound, end that in 1860, or as much sooner as the fi nances of the country will allow, the whole of the income tax to be abolished. That Lord Os.ulstoa be requested to present the petition--and that Lord Lovaine, the Hon. Mr. Liddell, Sir G. Grey, and Mr. Beaumont be re quested to give it their support. It tvas also moved by Mr. L. Hindrnarsh, seconded by Mr. G. Pike, and una nimou-ly carried, that a memorial be sent to Lord Pal merston embolvinz the resolution of tha meeting.— Newcastle Chronicle.

GLASGOW AND SOUTH-WESTERN. A special meeting of this company was held• on Wednps. day at Glasgow to consider the, propriety of subscribing towards the British and Irish. Grand Junction Railway. Mr. A. Orr, the Chairman, presided. The CHAIRMAN stated that the object of the meeting was to submit to the proprietors a proposal from the land owners of Galloway to form a railway from Castle Douglas to Stranraer and Portpatrick. The length would be 62 miles, and the cost would not exceed 460,0001. Tho local proprietors and others in the district had subscribed 200,0001., the Great Northern Railway 160,0001., and the Glasgow and South-Western Railway 60,0001. The balance of 40,0001. was expected from other English Railway Companies, and further local subscriptions, which were still liberally coming in. The Lancaster and Carlisle Railway Company were to give a rebate or discount of 20 per cent, on passengers, and 15 per cent. on goods traffic, to and from Ireland, passing over their line, which would he equivalent to a large subscription. Before the directors would consent to take any interest in the undertaking they stipulated that subscriptions must be 'found, locally or otherwise, to the amount of the estimates, for the purpose of proving the bona fide character of the project, and, that being accomplished, they had no hesitation in recom mending the company to subscribe the amount proposed— namely, 60,0001. The crpital of the British and Irish Grand Junction Railway would be 460,0001., in 46,000 shares of 101. each. The principal advantages to be gained by the line were :-1. Direct and speedy communication between Great Britain and Ireland by the short sea passage of Portpatrick and Donaghadee,. 2. The Government had fixed on this passage as the best, and had also agreed by Treasury minute to adopt those ports for a mail passage, and make them suitable for the purpose, provided the ne cessary railway communication were made. 3. There wore only nine miles of railway to make on the Irish side to connect Donaghadee with all the network of lines in Ireland. 4. When the proposed railway of 62 miles was completed, the whole of the north and mid.: land of Ireland would be connected with the south of Scot- land and all England by a two honrs' sea passage. 5. And which, as a company, they were more immediately inte rested in, it would bring over their lines, from Castle Douglas to Gretna (44 miles), the whole of the Irish traffic, as well as the whole trade of the counties of Wigton and the greater part of Kirkcudbright, to Dumfries and south ward. (Cheers.) For these reasons the directors were of opinion that the sum they had :Lgreed to subscribe was not more than they were fairly bound to db, considering the advantages to the company. The directors were assured the line would be executed in the most economical manner, and that it had the hearty aupport of the landed proprie- tors and tenantry of the two important counties, who had subscribed the large sum of 200,0001. in from single shares upwards to Lord Galloway, who took 10,003/., and Lord Stair 30,0001., and that agreements had bee❑ already made fcr the greater portion of the land at the agricultural value. All the money would not be required for two or three years, and they would obtain power under the bill to raise the ❑ecessary amount. There were now in course of making branch lines equal to nearly 70 miles, and this by their only giving aid to the local parties to the extent of 135,03/.; this was a small sum compared with thebenefit these additional lines would give to their main line of railway. There could be no doubt, were the British and Irish Grand Junc tion Railway formed, it would induce the large southern companies to point to a connection with Dumfries for the purpose of securing a portion of the Irish traffic southward, and this would open up to their main line more effectual and ready communication with all parts of England. He hoped the shareholders would also subscribe individually, in order to stimulate the exertions of the promoters, and to place the undertaking beyond the chance of failure. He concluded by moving a resolution authorising a subscrip tion of 60,0001. towards the British and Irish Grand Junction Railway. Mr. JAMIESON seconded the motion. Admiral MONTGOMERY was opposed to increasing the capital, and moved as an amendment, " That the proposed grant be not given at present." Mr. BnowN seconded the amendment. Mr. BROUGH said he was opposed to extensions in gene ral, but he thought the directors were right in the present proposal to subscribe 60,0001., as the additional traffic they would derive from the proposed line could not fail to pay more than the interest of the money they proposed to sub. scribe. The CHAIRMAN having explained that the matter would be submitted to the shareholders at the Wharncliffe meet ing, Admiral Montgomery withdrew 4* amendment, anti the motion was carried. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro ceedings. GRAND TRUNK. OF CANADA.
