V iC ) ri K ., ZkAN.7.P.A L')NDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1858. The Times wishes the People patiently to en dure the iniquitous Income Tax for another year. It says—" In our:own sober judgment it is rather too late to commence a movement against a one year's tax which has stood the ordeal of a Session, and which the nation has acquiesced in without much remonstrance for nearly nine months." It adds—" On the Eve of 1857, and for one year only, there is so little hope of any result, that we feel it to be mere loss of power and time to attempt it. The amount of the tax is necessary to the Chancellor of the Exchequer's financial arrangements, and when every sixpence of it has been paid in the late war will still have left the addition of many millions to the National Debt, and, consequently, of many hundred thousands to our annual outgoings. Nor is this a time to be stinting the Treasury !" Now, we earnestly and emphatically protest against this " dilatory plea." We have seen too much of the evil consequences of shelving a subject on which the popular enthusiasm has been thoroughly aroused. We say to the People, " Agitate ! Agitate ! ! Agitate !! !" Redouble your exertions. Send up indignant protests from every town and village from every district throughout the length and breadth of the land. unsparingly expose the gross fraud of continuing the burden longer than the time for which it was granted by Parliament and sanctioned by the People. Explain the palpable injustice of placing in the same category, and charging at the same rate, the hardly acquired and precarious earnings of industry, and the proceeds of carefully selected investments of accumulated and realised property. Show all these matters plainly forth, multiply petitions, and call on your representa tives to support them, and Sir G. C. LEWIS must yield, even as Sir CHARLES WOOD yielded before a similar pressure. The impost will be consider ably modified ; and although it may not be ren dered perfectly equitable, there will be so great an approximation thereto that the nation will be contented to bear the burden patiently and sub missively.

JULLIEN'S ANNUAL BAL MASQUE, Monday, December 22. M. JULLIEN has the honour to announce that his GRAND ANNUAL BAL MASQUE will, this year, take place at her Majesty's Theatre, on Monday, December 22. Under ordinary circumstances, M. Jullien would have felt that the patronage hitherto bestowed on his Annual Enter tainment, and the general satisfaction evinced on every occa sion, rendered it unnecessary for him to add one word to the mere announcement of the Ball. A recent event, however, makes it imperative on him to draw the attention of his kind patrons to the fact, that after 17 years of constant labour and care, he has succeeded in transforming the trivial entertain ment, formerly known as the " Masquerade," into the mag nificent Fete of the Bal Masque, and in placinc , it on a level with those given in the largest establishments of Europe—at the Academie Imperiale of Paris, the Imperial Theatres of St. Petersburg and Vienna, and the Theatre Royal of Berlin— Fetes which the Sovereigns of those capitals do not disdain to honour with their presence. Having thus raised the cha racter of those Entertainments, M. Jallien is satisfied that the public will not hold llim responsible for the ill-directed efforts of plagiarists and imitators. M. Jullien's Bal Masque will be given this year with the same splendour as before, and will take place at her Majesty's Theatre—an establishment already famous for the magnificent Balls which have, under the most distinguished patronage, been given within its walls. M. Jullien feels confident that this, his Seventeenth Bal Masque in England, will, for bril liancy and splendour, have never been equalled. The Orchestra will eomprise one hundred and ten musi cians. There is not, so far as we have seen, the slightest desire "to stint the Treasury." Every legitimate demand will be cheerfully responded to. But we are not children. We shall not tolerate deception or foul play in any form. Let Sir G. C. LEWIS come forward honourably and manfully. Let him open his budget distinctly ; showing the supplies that are required, and the ways and means by which they may be obtained. Let the whole question of Income Tax be fully discussed, and be will have no cause to regret the result. His evil counsellors are those who recommend a "Fabian" policy—who fancy that by vexatious procrastina tion he can wear out the spirit of the Eng lish people. The necessary funds will be provided ; the national establishments main tained in full efficiency ; and every public liability promptly and unhesitatingly discharged. But we cannot listen to the plea of necessity when it runs counter to the demands of honesty and good faith. We do not wish to see a Cabinet Minister putting forward a whining appeal more becoming a pickpocket awaiting his sentence in a court ofj us ace. Principal Cornet-a-pistons--Horr Koenig and M. Duhem. Conductor—M. JULLIEN. The newest and most fashionable music will be played, in cluding several new polkas, waltzes, and quadrilles, composed expressly by M. Jullien for his concerts, and for this occasion. The dances will be regulated by fourteen Maitres des Ceremonies, whose arrangements will be strictly carried out. No one will be admitted except in evening dress or fancy costume. ___ _ _ The whole theatre will be ornamented by a new and superb decoration. _ _ Mr. Nathan, of Castle-street, Leicester•square, has been appointed Costumier to the Bal.

The great excitement already manifested, the numerous and influential meetings held, the firm but temperate expression of public opinion, has alarmed the Times, and the clique of which it is the representative. Had it been otherwise it would not have offered such insidious advice, or endeavoured to postpone the evil day. Despite its positive assertions, we declare unhesitatingly that the Income Tax will not die a natural death in April, 1858. It is too convenient an instrument to be dispensed with by any Chan cellor of the Exchequer. From listening to similar arguments in 1853 we have been saddled with the incubus ever since. Had the People then persevered in the spirit and with the zeal and energy in which they entered on the contest, it would long since have been placed on a just and substantial foundation, and each man would have contributed fairly and according to his means to the national exigences. But the Times, which following sed Longo intervallo, the popular opinion, had proved the palpable unfairness of the so called " equal apportionment," grasped at the de ceitful and hypocritical professions of Mr. GLAD STONE. It expatiated on the blessings of the gradual reduction and ultimate extinction of the tax. In vain we uplifted a warning voice. The CERBERIIS was drugged by the medicated sop, so dexterously administered. The object was attained, and the iniquitous impost was continued without change, or modification, for five years longer, in place of three years, t the longe l st term be previously granted. A similar made. The article in the Times shadows forth the nature of the tac tics about to be adopted. But if the people be only true to themselves the trick will be signally and decisively defeated, and its concoctors will have bitter cause to deplore their reckless experi ment on public credulity. The Thnesclearly, albeit unconsciously, indicates the class for which it writes, that can command its sympathies. It says—" The tax-gatherer 01. or 1001. out o f you at once, com es and takes 5 schooling i" just what you bad destined for a trip to Brighton, Tr t x l : :se to whom the pure whole some are hermetically ms o t ou r umo M s et I h a bess sea Master r . _ c 0 n tented to see their " Master Tom the plainest. elements of a com mercial sealed—who such as will qualify Exchequer, to enlarge the "res Tom- MISS " receiving him to as sistmercial education, the domestic angustm domi," and the earliest moment that he can be qualified for entering on "The Battle of Life." NS 'e speak for the hard-working clerks, the small tr adesmen, the country clergymen, medical prac titioners, and comparatively briefless barristers, wl to earn from 1001. to 5001. a year, and who, be, tween the indispensable obligations of maintain ing a respectable position, making some slender pre vision for the future maintenance of their families, and possibly of liquidating old incum br'uices, are driven to their wits' end to make bol ii ends meet. These are the classes who possess our• sympathies, who are grievously wronged by the inquisitorial and searching investigation into their most secret affairs, and the stringent man ner in which the tax is levied. We have pro claimed our principle fearlessly. A judiciously apportioned Property Tax is the best of all others for the country. It is alike just and politic ; but mere income arising from a man's own unassisted exertions should be totally exempted. Industry should be altogether liberated from its bonds. It is by no means difficult to show how this desidera tum may be accomplished. It is by no means a task of extraordinary difficulty, nor requiring a very brilliant genius in the Financial Minister. Great as is the start whioh the United States have gained, there are two elements of future prosperity for Canada which the great mongrel Confederation wants. The Union is a Slave Republic, and has a Protectionist policy. Canada is a nation of freemen, and her trade is free. Hitherto Canada has worked in fetters. That nest for aristocratic incompetence, , the Colonial office, was her bane, as it was of all the colonies. The motto of its seal might well have been, /Vihil tetigit quod non ornavit, Ignorance, dis trust, intermeddling, perpetual provocation, had well nigh alienated the most loyal of populations. All that, however, has happily passed away. We believe that now every Colonial Minister, whatever his politics, sincerely desires to gratify the colonies in everything ; and only to advise in such purely Imperial concerns that the colonists would recognise the desirableness of the mother country having a voice in the arrangement. No Tory Minister here would dream of aiding a Tory minority in Canada, and no Whig Minister would move a straw to hinder its becoming the majo rity. The colony is politically as free as it likes to be. It prefers a President, by whom it is politically connected with the mother country of nearly all civilised freedom : and all the rest is in its own hand—it can get " the Charter" and its Five Points made law if it wishes. Canada, therefore, is free. The States are not. Three millions of human beings degrade the Union by working its soil beneath the lash, and by occupying in its markets the same position which horses, cattle, and pigs do here. What should we think to see one-eighth of our popula tion working in deeper ignominy than ticket-of leave men ? One person in every eight forced by law to labour without wages ; forced to live on such food as his gaoler, or master, sees fit to furnish ; kunted by bloodhounds if he ventured to leave his unrequited toil ; flogged, imprisoned, and half-killed when caught ? Yet this is the condition of Washington's Republic ! This is the precious heir-loom handed down to BUCHANAN ! This is The Union so belauded by the successors of WIL LIAM PENN ! The Union to preserve which, as they imagined, the Pennsylvanians at the late election acted, unworthily indeed of the PENN of popular belief, but just worthily of the PENN of MACAULAY. From Maine, all along the boundary of our territory, to Wisconsin, perhaps to Oregon, the slave remains a slave; but the magic line of British rule once pasiAed, he becomes a freeman. One day, if there be reality in moral principles, this hideous pollution will be the political and social ruin of the States. There is no alternative. Religion and humanity will either, as with us, make any requisite sacrifice to the Moloch and Mammon partnership of slaveholders, or some catastrophe will consign the great Slave Republic to the con dition of all nations of which slavery was the basis of the State. There is something ennobling to a country when a noble principle is the boast of every peasant. This is felt in Canada. Every citizen there is proud of the difference between himself and the Yankee. The latter may be very 'cute ; nay boast of the 4th of July, and of the War of ,Independence ; but the Canadian can point to the negro, who has just leaped with convulsive joy on the shore of liberty, and remind the citizen of the "Union" of kidnappers that not one inch of his country can restore his birthright to man. The citizens of Britain and her colonies must ever be a nobler race:politically than citizens whose con sciences are burdened with the guilt of praetising or abetting slavery. We believe intelligent Ameri cans aro perceiving this. Opposition to the Sonth was not, in the late election, the high-toned love of freedom, which abolished slavery in the British possessions ; it was little more than hatred of Southern domination. Even this was better than Pennsylvanian truckling ; but it is not to be men tioned with the nobler spirit which is mould ing the future of Canada. Canada, moreover, doss what America does not : she buys in the cheapest market and sells in the dearest. She does not pay 30 per cent. more for her commodities to bolster up some half bank rupt cotton mills or iron manufacturers which could not otherwise pay their way at all. The whole community are not taxed to protect the indolence or cupidity of a few. Judge HALIBUR TON tells us in his interesting address at the Man chester Athenaeum, which appeared in The Su n of yesterday, that all their articles of consumption are literally English ; from the bowl in which the new-born babe is washed, and the flannel in which he is placed, to the coffin-plate which at last tells his name and age, and the shovel which throws the earth upon it. They have the sense to know that their raw produce will purchase these things cheaper than their hands could make them. JONATHAN, 'cute as he is, taxes luxuries and necessaries alike. Canada knows better. America • will, of course, be driven by circumstances to un restricted competition. Her over-full exchequer will repeal, at least gradually, her absurd tariff. But while she is afflicting herself in the style of France, Austria, or Russia, Canada is taking the full benefit of the wholesome laws of nature, and her commerce will advance proportionally in com parison with that of the States. Her new rail roads have opened the far West to winter as well as summer communication with England ; and nothing is wanting but a full stream of emigra tion. This mush soon be largely swelled. The superiority of the country for the adventurous and aspiring men will be generally known ; and a real New England will in time occupy the most vigo• rous portion of the American continent, a country one quarter larger than all Europe. But here, as the Judge reminds us, the great question arises, of the nature of. the connection between the two countries. Already the popula tion outnumbers that of Scotland ; but Canada retains to England the general relation which Scotland and Ireland had before the Union. It has its own Parliament, and its own Viceregal Representative, but no representation in the Im perial Parliament. This, in fact, is the relation of all the important colonies to the mother coun try. How long it will last, and how it will ter- minate, are questions not to be solved by conjec ture. Will it even be that the present Parlia ment will become a federal one, and a second Parliament for purely British business be also elected, the colonies choosing their own Governors, and the Crown of Britain remaining hereditary ? Or will.the colonies prefer independence, Canada and Australia each becoming new Empires ? The Judge himself prefers that Canada should become part and parcel of England. He acknowledges difficulties, but regards them as not insurmount able ; and he boldly claims that, with this thorough union, the full share of the honours and emoluments of place, and even of the Peerage, should be freely open to colonial men. We think that so entirely conciliatory, we may say, maternal, is the spirit of the old country, that as we trust nothing will alter this, all must end happily, both for England and her colonies. France, or rather the Emperor of the FRENCH, • has spoken, and Prussia is emboldened. Switzer land, it is new seen, has nothing to hope from Imperial gratitude, and apparently everything to dread the Prussian arms can accomplish. " Fire and sword " is now the watchword in military circles at Berlin. The invasion of Switzerland is there spoken of as a settled affair. Two or m•re corps d'armee, it is said, are to be employed instructions for the commanding officers are lying at the War-office - -the Com mander-in-Chief of the expedition is already de signated. We are in no hurry to believe all this ; it being quite possible, indeed probable, the wish is father to the assertion. One thing, however, is tolerably certain—the independence of Switzer land is seriously menaced. If the Confederation can be coerced by threats, coerced it will be ; if threats fail, the probability' is recourse will be had to arms, provided no intervention sufficiently formidable be found in the way, or the Prussian King is really as mad as he appears to be at pre sent. Fortunately, we trust, for all parties, cer tain preliminary forms are to be gone through before an invasion can be attempted. The King of PRUSSIA is pledged to bring his case before the Congress at Paris, and has yet to obtain the sanc tion of the German States through whose territories his troops must march to get at Switzerland. In either case the result will be a work of time, and should. the Diet at Frankfort approve of his request, it is not impossible the Congress at Paris may bring him to reason. The worst feature in the case is the attitude assumed by the Emperor NAPOLEON. Anything more unwise or reprehensible than this it would be dif ficult to conceive. It is both a blunder and a crime, and not unlikely carries its own punishment with it. Whether he meditates treachery to Prussia, or, what is more likely, is swayed by a miserable dynastic ambition, either way, if perse vered in, it involves hazard to his throne. The result may be a European war ! What prophet is there to assure him of the result, so far as his dynasty is concerned ? Bad, however, as this l'eature of the affair is, there is another more pain- ful still to Englishmen. Concurrently with, or rather preceding, the assumption of this menacing attitude—practically it is so—towards the free Swiss States, we have the young Prince of PRUSSIA (in the wake of the Prussian KING'S present of horses to the Empress EUGENIE) at Paris. What are Englishmen to think of such a concatenation of circumstances as this ? The most satisfactory expla nations will be required to dissipate the suspicions to which it has given rise ; more than this, deeds must be forthcoming as well as words. In the interests of her MAJESTY and her Royal Consort, as well as of Europe, the English Government must do its utmost to avert the peril with which Switzerland is threatened. The right is on the side of the Swiss, and it will never do to have it supposed, with any show of reason, that England was at all a party to the outrageous wrong con templated by absolutism against so gallant and orderly a confederation of free men. Switzer. land must be supported, German, instincts to the contrary, notwithstanding. WiLD'S GREAT GLOBE. RUSSIA-ITS PEOPLE AND ITS PALACES.

The lecturer waves his wandof magic and hey ! presto--we are in the Baltic—we are at Riga—we go on from port to port : until, carried onwards by a daring greater than that of our grand Sea Fire-Eater, we glide boldly into the harbour -winter picturesque a of Cronstadt, and under The frowning tier upon tier of its vast 'and formidable fortificati ons !

Beholding upon the fro zen sur f ace o f h i s u cha ni rm id i p t a a Neva t : e uers as Prophete of Meyerbeer. There—in the moonlight —among the snow, and gliding swiftly over the ice, are the inhabitants of the great Rus sian capital, skating and sledging to their heart's content, muffled up in furs that would smother a tropical savage merely to look upon ! Yonder, again, are the motley and splendid sights of St. Petersburg—the Public Places ; the Winter Palace of the Czar ; the Statue of Peter (called) the Great in front of the Admi ralty. Onwards still we are driven pertinaciously by that very voluble and agreeable " Peeler," the Lecturer—" moving on ' at his ever-welcome bidding until we reach another very notable goal—in Moscow, the Mecca of the Muscovites ! Moscow — risen anew, Phoenix-like, from its ashes, forty-four years ago, since the date of its capture by the (till then !) all-conquering Napoleon ! Moscow—with its countless gilded domes and cupolas. Moscow — where every newly -acceding Czar solemnly becomes the Lord's Anointed, as suming the purple, grasping the sceptre, placing upon his own head the diadem which crowns him for life the irre sponsible despot of 60,000,000 of the hu man race ! And here, of course, in this Dioramic View of Moscow, is a superb incidental illustration of the recent enthronement of Alexan der 11.,—a vivid and resplendent picture of his Majesty's gorgeous and memorable coronation. A portion of the new Diorama, which is greeted (and no wonder) with the loudest acclamations not for its political sigaificanee, of course, we may presume, but simply by reason of its remarkable and arresting magnificence. The Kremlin visited—we next pro ceed to Nishni Novgorod, emerging afterwards upon Anapa, and traversing in due course the vast and barren steppes down to the Danube, to Girtr gevo, to Kalafat, and to Silistria—names of fame and glory alike to Osmanli and English men ! A glimpse (across the Euxine) into the har bour of Sinop°, shows to us—there, calmly moored and at anchor, the ill-fated Turkish fleet, the victim of a dastardly and ever-exe crable massacre. Trcbizonde is not over looked—neither, for that matter, is Varna, nor yet Odessa, nor yet Constantinople. The whole gorgeous survey closing with a heart stirring delineation of the renowned Battle of the Alma, one of those heroic struggles over which our young poet Gerald Massey, in a truly Tyrtfean outburst, has chaunted that noble refrain " 0 Victory, joyful Victory, Like love thou bringest sorrow, But 0 ! for such an hour with thee, Who would not die to-morrow?" And so with this grand rush up " red Alma's hill to glory" the new Diorama at the Great Globe is brought (twice a day) to a brilliant termination. It is a work of art which cannot fail to command for itself an ample and protracted share of popularity. LATEST NEWS. PARIS, SATURDAY MORNING. Letters from Vienna of the 14th state that the question of holding the Conferences has now entered on a new phase. Count Buol has received a despatch, informing him that the Cabinet of the Tuileries, after mature reflection, cannot accept the interpretation of the Bolgrad question and that of the Isle of Serpents in the absolute terms propounded by England, Austria, and Turkey. Count Buol has sent this unexpected declaration to the Emperor of Austria in Italy. No one can now predict when the new Confer ences will be opened. The second Plenipotentiaries of Great Britain, Austria, Prussia, Sardinia, and Russia have ap prised Count Walewski that they have received their instructions, and that they are ready to take part in the Conferences. The instructions for the second Turkish Plenipotentiary are all that are now waited for, and they are expected to arrive about the 23d or 24th of December. The Con ferences may consequently commence on the 26th or 27th. The mission of Admiral. Virgin to Copenhagen has - been considered one of great importance. It is rumoured to be only one of preparation for a further mission to London with regard to a revi sion of the treaty of London of 1852, by which the fear of Russian political supremacy in the Baltic states generally will be at once set at rest. Accounts from Constantinople to the 10th state that some French vessels were expected in the Bosphorus. The Russians have landed arms and ammunition at Zella. The works in the arsenals of Persia are going on with great activity, accord ing to instructions received from Teheran. A letter from St. Petersburg of the 10th, in the Bourse Gazette of Berlin, says :—" Count Y. Esterhazy, the Austrian Ambassador, has had within the last few days an interview with Prince Gortschakoff, in which some conversation took place on the subject of the reply of the Cabinet of Tienna to the Russian memorandum. The Prince remarked that the pretension of Austria to occupy the Principalities until the question of the frontiers should be settled was inadmissible for two motives—first, from the declaration of Count Buol at Paris that the evacuation of the Turkish territory by Austria presented less difficulty than that by France and England, and that it should take place before ; and secondly, because the projected instructions drawn up at Paris for the members of the Commission for the organisation of the Principalities declared expressly that the Divans could not meet until the foreign troops should have evacuated the Principalities. The Austrian Ambassador confined himself to replying that Russia could not invoke the Treaty of Paris so long as she occupied any point of the Bessara bian ,territory, which she was bound to cede to Turkey. This conference was consequently with out result ; and it is probable that the Russian Cabinet will reply in writing to that of Vienna, which may perhaps cause a new delay in the meeting of the Conference of Paris." A letter from Berlin of the 16th says :—" No reply has yet been received to the note of the Bth, addressed by Prussia to the great powers, on the affair of Neuchatel. The cabinet here expects that the English Government will advise it to abstain from military measures. Austria also does not appear favourable to a Prussian expedition, if we may judge from the language of her semi-official organs, but it is confidently believed that France and Russia will approve of the last resolutions of Prussia. It is said, besides, that the Prussian cabinet does not intend to cause its acts to depend on the replies of the great powers ; as, after having communicated to them its decision, it will pursue the recognition of its right without allowing itself to be influenced by objections." Accounts have been received from Naples to the 15th. All the English in that capital, residents and visitors, had signed an address of congratula tion to the King, and had gone to the palace to present it ! His Majesty showed great emotion at receiving the address, and expressed his gratitude for the proceeding. All foreigners of distinction, as well as the population, have visited the King to offer their congratulations ! The Paris correspondent of the Independance Belge says it is rumoured that the Emperor Napo leon has written an autograph letter to the King of Naples, there being at present no official repre• senta.tive of France at Naples, to congratulate him on his escape from assassination. A letter from Vienna in the Boersenhalle, of Hamburg, says :—" It is announced as positive that the Porte is preparing fresh difficulties by obstinately opposing the incorporation of the Delta of the Danube with the territory of Moldavia, and that Gholib Pacha, a son of Reschid Pacha, has loft for Paris on a private mission relative to this affair." RUSSIA AND PERSIA. BERLIN, Dec. I.—lt will doubtless have been already observed the Nord has been instructed to deny that 50,000 Russians, under General Birju loff, are standing ready to follow the first invita tion of the Shah of Persia, and cross the frontier to his assistance. We must therefore assume that the news is not literally correct. On the other hand, we learn from various organs of the Russian press that bodies of troops are being directed upon the confines of the Persian territory. Thus, for instance, the Caucasus states that a second body of 3,000 men has been detached from the reserve division of the Caucasian corps and been despatch. ed to Kisliar, for the purpose of strengthening the flotilla on the Caspian Sea, while a p r vious body of the same strength, e , 3,000 men, had been forwarded from Astrachan to the various Russian stations on the south-east coast of the Cas pian Sea. All the information that reaches us from Russia on the subject of the military movements in the south-east of the empire coincides in these two points—first, that troops are being concentrated upon the shores of the Caspian Sea for the purpose of being ready for auy events that may supervene ; and, secondly, that Russia has no intention of in tervening unless directly appealed to by the Shah. One letter from St. Petersburg, for instance, men tions that a very considerable force is collected in the neighbourhood of Balkn (according to the context the troops spoken of should be Russians, but I know of no place of that name in Russia, while on the eastern coast of the Caspian Sea there is a place of a similar name opposite to Bakou). Of this considerable force, however, it is said that its destination remains to be fixed by the course of events. Russia would not mix herself up in the conflict between the Persians and the Affghans unless the Court of Teheran should find itself hard driven by an English intervention, and apply to her for help. The r•riter of this St. Peters burg letter expresses the opinion that, however the matter may turn, it will accrue to the advantage of Russsia by increasing her influence in the East. He mentions further that there is just now an un usual number of staff officers staying in the capital, whose experience and advice were, it was be lieved, being consulted with reference to the eventualities in the south-east ; among them are the commander of the second division of the Black Sea fleet, Rear-Admiral Tebrikoff, and General Krossnik; the commander of the Cossack army of Astrachan. An expedition in the direction of j Khiva and Bokhara is mentioned as one of the subjects of discussion. This last report harmonises with the statement of a strong force being already stationed in the neighbourhood of Balkn. This portion of the country, which is to our apprehen sion little more than a myth, has been made toler ably familiar to the Russian military authorities by Count Perowski's repeated excursions and in cursions with the Orenburg corps d'armee, which, however richly they may have resulted in military experience and topographical infor mation, seem to have brought in nothing else. The breaking up of the second army under Luders is spoken of as having set a con siderable number of able officers free from their previous destination, and made them keenly anxious for a new field of activity, such as this opening in the south-east would readily afford. Among these are mentioned by name Generals Tschersputowski, Konstantinoff, Niepokojtschicki, and Tschervinski as about to repair to St. Petersburg and take part in the military deliberations. PRUSSIA. The Nord, of Brussels, contains a letter frpm Berlin, which says : —"I have heard in well-informed circles rumours of the partial mobilisation of two corps d'armee having been ordered. Our mili tary organisation requires that course of pro ceeding in cases of military operations on a large scale. Each corps d'armee is composed of 4 regiments of infantry and 4 of cavalry, of a regi ment of artillery, one of infantry of the reserve, a battalion of riflemen, and a detachment of pioneers —altogether a force of 21,000 men ; but on being mobilised 4regiments of infantry and 4 of cavalry of the landwehr are added to the corps d'armee, and it thereby becomes 36,000 strong. lam assured that several battalions of carbineers, which are equal to the best troops of that description in Europe, will form part of the expedition. Be cer tain that at this moment the plan of a military ex pedition is positively settled, and that it will be carried out with rapidity, unless indeed incidents of another kind should happily occur to prevent the effusion of blood." FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The Emperor yesterday received Count de Hatz feldt, the Prussian Minister, who delivered to his Majesty a letter from kis sovereign, thanking him for the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. The Emperor has received a letter from the Grand Duke of Tuscany, notifying the marriage of the Archduke Ferdinand, Hereditary Grand Duke of Tuscany, to the Princess Ann, daughter of the King of Saxony. On the Ist January, on the occasion of the new year, the Emperor will receive in the morning the diplomatic corps and the constituted bodies. On the 2d the Emperor and Empress will hold a grand reception at nine o'clock in the evening of the ladies of the diplomatic corps, and of such others as had been already presented to their Majesties. The ladies will have to wear full court dress. The Prince of Prussia leaves Paris, it is said, on Sunday. At a recent dinner given at the Prussian embassy, Prince Frederick William proposed a toast to " the duration of friendship between Prussia and France." The Patric thus takes notice of the possibility of a new war between England and Russia : Russia, who has prorni,ed Persia effective support in case of an attack, sees perhaps without repugnance an opportunity, if not to take revenge upon one of the Powers that took part in the siege of Sebastopol, at least to show that the colossal war from which she has just emerged has not rendered her impotent to act in favour of an ally. Whatever foundation there may or may not be for these ,conjectures, we cannot but perceive the gravity of the Persian question ; and while we still maintain that the apprehension of a march of the Russo- Persian forces towards the north-west of India is purely fantastical, we would not take upon ourselves to affirm that a rencontre between the Comp oly's troops and the Russian regiments, somewhere about the banks of the Persian Gulf, is absolutely beyond the bounds of proba bility."

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY MORNING. The Royal Mail steam-ship Persia has arrived, with advices from New York to the 10th inst. She has brought 863,926 dols. specie on freight. The United States Mail steam-ship Atlantic hence had arrived at Now York. On the 9th inst. the discussion on the President's Message in the Senate and House of Representatives had been again adjourned. Ix the former, in answer to a question relative to the policy of Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Begler stated that the people of Kansas must settle the question of slavery for them selves; in the latter, Mr. Campbell, Know-nothing, of Ohio, characterised the Message as a budget of inconsistencies, containing serious charges against a large portion of the people which were without foundation. Mr. Whitfield had been allowed to take his seat for Kansas by a majority of four. Great excitement existed at Franklin, Tennessee, from the expectation of an insurrection among the slaves. 24 muskets and two kegs of powder had been found in the possession of a gang of n egroes at Columbia, Tennessee. In Perry, Tennessee, negroes had been killed by their owners. There was much excitement in the neighbour hood of Dover, on the Cumberlandßiveirl'adamang the negroes. Many of the ringleaders arrested, and 11 . hang ed. One _ white dis guised as a negro, had been sentenced to 900 lashes, inflicted. The he died before p enalt y was fully The whites were arming and organising for defence, and the opinion prevailed that a general uprising would take place among the negroes during the holidays. Escapes of slaves were unusually numer ous. The Governor of lowa had claimed, in his mes sage, the protection of the Federal Government for the citizens of lowa. There was rather a more active demand for money in New York, though with a pretty free supply of unemployed capital rates had not under gone any material change, but long paper did , not pass solreadily as at the corresponding date the previous week. The supply of paper was more abundant, and the indications were that money would still be in active request, as usual in De• camber. The current quotations were 71 to 8 per cent. for prime 30 and 60 days' commercial notes, 8 and 9 per cent. fo three and six months' ditto, and 10 and 15 per cent. for single names and second-class bills. The exchange market was freely supplied with bias for the Persia, and, with a fair business, prices closed less firm. On London, 9 to 91 per cent. pre mium. The stock market ruled in favour of buyers, owing to the withdrawal of a leading buyer, who had become insolvent. State and bank stocks, however, formed an exception to the rule, being well held. The Bank statement showed a smaller specie increase than was expected from the large Californian receipts at the close of the previous week. Cotton was quiet, without change in quotation. The market closed very tamely. The market for flour was very firm, with a rising tendency, until the receipt of the advices from Europe ; then the improvement was lost ; same with wheat. The demand for iron was moderate. Tobacco was in fair request. Freights without change. The .New York Herald states that the new British treaty concluded by Mr. Dallas will shortly he laid before the Senate. It believes that the treaty, while affirming the old principle of the Clayton- Bulwer Convention, that neither the United States nor England desire to colonise or fortify for their exclusive benefit any part of the territ or y on the isthmus or in Central America, conte m plates a much larger field of operation ; it is, in fact, a commercial treaty. Mexican advices report the defeat of Vidaurri, and his submission to Comonfort. Communication between Vera Crnz and the in terior was nearly suspended. The siege of Peubla continued. The steamship Manchester, out 20 days hence, had not arrived at Philadelphia. Considerable uneasiness had been created. It is said that Judge Lecompte was to be removed, on account, it is alleged, of his partial administra tion of the law in Kansas. LIVERPOOL, DEC. 19. The United States' mail stesm-ship Ericsson, Lawler, Commander, has arriv e d with advices from New York to the Gth inst., and $50,000 in specie. The steam-ship Arago, from Havre, arrived at New York, and the Royal Mail steam-ship Arabia at Boston, on the sth inst. The Senate had resumed the slavery question and the objects of the Re publican party without any result. In the House of Representatives the question of Mr. Whitfield's admission had been deferred unti the 9th inst. 1 The Washington correspondent of the _New York herald states that , the Virginia electors had re commended ex-Governor Floyd for a post in Mr. Buchanan's Cabinet. _ At a banquet one of the sentiments declared the " Ostend Manifesto to be but the eternal law of nature and of nations—self-preservation. All hon our to the statesmen who will execute the princi ples!" Governor Wise had declined to leave his present post. Mr. Buchanan is said to have offered him any station within his gift, as he is desirous of having the benefit of his counsel. The Democratic members of Congress from Virginia object to Floyd. The same authority states that the new Com missioner to Bogota had been sent for to New York by a special messenger, and that Mr. Morse was expected to leave on the sth for Aspinwall. He states that the Commissioner is to reiterate the demand already made by Judge Bowlin for indem nity to the sufferers by the Panama riot ; will ask for a proposition from the New Granadian Go vernment for a final settlement of the mail transit question, for which a respectable bonus will be paid ; and will insist upon some substantial secu rity for the transit across the Isthmus in future. Wall street had been thrown into a state of great excitement by the announcement of the failure of Mr. Jacob Little, a large stock speculator ; his outstanding contracts are said to be to an enormous amount. The failure of Messrs. Henshaw and Son, the well know bankers of Boston, had been announced. The ,liabilities are large. T wonegroes had been arrested in Charles County, Maryland, charged with plotting insurrectio n among the slaves. The Portuguese authorities at Benguela had seized the schooner Flying Eagle, from New York , for having a slave cargo on board, and for the p a r meat of a cargo of slaves landed in Cuba by ail other vessel.
