SECOND EDITION \lll Wiling .7: Ant LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1845, The Orangemen, or Protestants, or Conservatives— or whatever other alias they please to give themselves —of Ireland are beginning to get up an active and clamorous - demonstration against the Government Education Scheme. We stated some time ago in The Sun that this would be the case, for the symptoms of discontent among these impracticable partisans have long been manifest, and nothing has prevented them from breaking out into open mutiny against the PEEL Administration but the disagreeable conviction which they entertain, that, by so doing, they will be weaken log themselves, and playing the game of O'CONNELL and the Whigs. But their discontent has now reached such a height that they can no longer keep it under. Speak out, they must and will, no matter at what coat to the Conservative cause, which they pro fess to have so much at heart ; and accordingly a numerous party, headed by the Lord Primate and not less than thirteen of the Irish Pr o t es t an t Bi s h ops have just issued a declaration on the subject of, what they call, the " Education of the Poor in Ireland,' the system of which, as pursued under th e sanc ti on of Gov e rnment, they denounce in no unequivocal terms, objecting to it, inkr cilia, that it gives undue prominence to secular, to the depreciation of religious, instruction ; that it evinces a disregard of the position and claims of the clergy of the Established Church; and that its obvious tendency is to throw the direction of national education into the hands of the priesthood of the Church of Rome. For these and other reasons, some of which they enter into at most wearisome length, the Lord Primate and the thirteen episcopal ioints of his ghostly Tail have come to the resolution of offering every opposition in their power to the Ministerial plan of Irish education ; and not only this, but they call on their " brethren in the faith" in England to make common cause with them—in other words, to embark in an energetic crusade against reason, toleration, and liberality. If the spirit of dull, idiotic—though no doubt conscientious—bigotry is thus actively roused against the education system as it is now carried on in Irelatid, how much more rabid will be the frenzy when Sir ROBERT PEEL ex- terests or the dignity of his country. Endeavour to I find any sentiment of nationality. Fear prevails in every one of his phrases! M. GUIZOT has in Count DE JARNAC an auxiliary worthy of hitn." The Presse, in reference to the critical state of affairs at one period last summer says— " In those documents are to be found the et.plicit plains his project for the better instruction of the Irish youth, to which he briefly alluded towards the close of the last session, and for which allusion, informed as it was with a just and liberal spirit, he received the approbation of all the more impartial and enlightened Members of the House of Commons ! That which is now merely a brisk gale will then become an outrageous hurricane. All the elements of wrath will be let loose against the head of the unhappy Premier, and he will be the mark at which unrelenting bigotry will let loose her envenomed shafts, as was the case when he decided on the bold and equitable experiment of surrendering his own party prejudices and conceding Catholic Emancipa tion. But Sir ROBERT PEEL has, no doubt, made up his mind to bear the brunt of the battle, and will no mare be turned from his course—having, to all appearance, already made up his mind as to the course he shall pursue—than the moon will be turned from her path by the baying of the dogs. Indeed the Premier has no alternative left but to persevere in the liberal course of Irish policy to which he alluded last session. To halt or to go back, is to involve himself or his colleagues in ruin—aye, and not only this, but it is to arm Mr. O'CossELL with tenfold moral influence over the minds of his easily-persuaded countrymen, and give an impetus to the Repeal ques tion greater—a thousand times greater—than any it has yet rec,tived. Imagine, for an instant, Sir Ro- BERT PEEL taking fright at the long wolfish howl of the Irish Protestant bigots, backed by their English brethren, and disappointing public expectation by entering—in opposition to his pledge—on a retrograde course of policy as regards Ireland ! What will— nay, what must be, the inevitable consequences o such vacillating conduct? Why, just this—namely' that the liberal party in the sister-country, dis heartened and disgusted with the Minister's political cowardice—not to call it treachery—will turn a most willing ear to the oily blandishments of the Repeal agitators than they yet have deemed it right or dis creet to do; and where there is now but one Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, there will spring up at least a hundred in half-frenzied Ireland The Repeal question being grounded in delusion can only become really dangerous when the English Government shrink from their obvious duties, and condescend to play the part of trimmers. They have the power of putting an extinguisher upon it whenever they please—for what, after all, is Repeal, but the loud voice of Ire land's despair ?—but when that despair is changed by wise and salutary measures of legislation into hope and confidence, the clamour gradually dies away into insignificance, common sense resumes the ascendancy so long usurped by passion, and the delusion of a domestic Parliament is made manifest to all Irishmen endowed with the slightest faculties of reflection. With Sir ROBERT PEEL it rests to decide whether the sister country shall be one with us, indissolubly united to us in the bonds of affection and mutual in terest, or whether she shall still continue to be — what she has been for so many ages—a thorn rankling in our side—a living ulcer preying on our vitals. We cannot doubt the course he will pursue—though we have no very lively faith in his firmness—for he has already pledged himself to a certain line of Irish policy, and he cannot back out of such pledges, but to the utter ruin of his character as a British statesman. Shields, w'hich wits assisted off the Scroby Sand, on the 9th instant, left the Roads this morning, but has put back leaky, and has come into the harbour. ARBROATH, JAN. 11.—The North Esk, Sim, from Graysmouth, in entering this . harbour..,.yestnreliiy, was struck by a ea. l t tbrown et.thist the jetty, and subse yrntly fAndeiect in the inner harbour. StROMNESS, Ex —Sid. Bernard, Ichabo©. confirmation of two serious facts which the Presse announced to its readers so far back as the end oaf August last, on the authority of its private corre spondent at London, and which the Ministerial journals denied with the utmost obstinacy. We an nounced that the intention of the British Cabinet had been during some days to send back Mr. PRITCHARD to Otaheite, where he was to have been re-established by fair means, or by force of arms, and to recal Lord COWLEY. The dispatches of Count ,Lkaziac place these two circumstances beyond all doubt. The public, therefore, may perceive what little value there is to be attached to Ministerial contradictions." We find no additional information in the papers respecting the probable fate of the Ministry. Every thing, it is now admitted, depends on the Court, and as MONTALIVET has declared his opposition to the Ministry, the Opposition naturally believe that he would not have ventured on such a step without being properly backed. The following are extracts from the continental papers : The Committee on the Address in the Chamber of Deputies has terminated its deliberations. It will meet on Tuesday to hear the rough draft read, and it is thought that M. Hebert, who has been charged to draw it up, will present it to the Chamber in a public sitting on Wednesday, or at least on Thursday. The Phare of Bayonne of the 10th states, that several Spaniards who had • taken part in the revolt of the val leys of Anso and Hecho, and taken refuge in France, have been, on their return to Spain with passports given to them by the Spanish Vice-Consul at Oleron, in virtue of tkedecree of amnesty published in their favour, thrown into prison on their arrival in their own country. The Algerie gives the following account of treatment, by the Emperor of Morocco, of the Moors who betrayed • his cause after the defeat of Isly :—" The Emperor has inflicted a degrading punishment on the chiefs who took an active part in the pursuit of his army after the battle of Isly, and in the plunder of Souirra, after the bom bardment of that city. He has ordered their beards to he shaved off ; and, do not let us be imagined to speak figuratively, this was done with the razor of the barber, and not with the yatagan of the executioner." We learn from Berne that, on the 9th instant, Count de Pontois, the French Ambassador in Switzerland, left Berne, on a temporary visit to Zurich, in order to make diplomatic communications to the new Directory. The New Zurich Gazette of the 10th inst. states, that the Council of State of the Vorort (Zurich) assembled on the 9th in consequence of dispatches received from the canton of Lucerne. According to those dispatches much excitement prevailed. Alarming accounts had likewise been received from the canton of Argovia. The Government of Lucerne was continuing to fortify Gutsch at the point where it commands the city. Three batta lions of the militia had likewise been called to arms. The Basle 'Gazette states, that in the canton of Argovia a force of 14,000 men was collecting to make a new ex pedition into the canton of Lucerne. At the sitting of the Grand Council of Lucerne, held on the 7th, a decree was passed whereby all the ex penses of the Government in securing the arrest of the authors of the late revolution, and in carrying into effect the measures resolved upon for its suppression, are to be paid out of the property of the delinquents. All persons implicated in the revolt are declared incapable of dis posing of any part of their property. THE BOURSE—MoNDAY, JAN. 13. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price. Price.

His HoNoes. heard caktse petitions to-day. (Before Sir 3. WIGRAM.) BLAY V. SKIPWORTII. This case was opened before the recess, and has been argued on several occasions. The bill is filed by the coheiresses of Mr. Thomas Stoddart, to set aside a deed of compromise, whereby they parted with property in Weelnshira, for a sum of money alleged to have been greatly below the value of their interest. The bill con tains allegations of fraud, misrepresentation, and sur prise. The arguments again occupied the Court for the greater part of the day. The equivocal, temporising, timid, and in all re spects unsatisfactory letter of the Archbishop of CAN TERBURY, fully bears out our worst suspicions of the course that would be adopted at Lambeth Palace. If the letter bears any stamp whatever, it is the stamp of Puseyism. This, in fact, is the only intelligible part of it. The Puseyite Bishops are praised for their endeavours to enforce the rules of the rubric ; and the people of Exeter, Berks, and Tottenham, are upbraided for not obeying these high dignitaries. " To prevent the increase," says his Grace, " of an evil which might terminate in actual schisms was con fessedly most desirable; and the most effectual mode of accomplishing the object, it has been thought, would be found in general conformity to the rubric. Universal concurrence in this easy and obvious regulation would have combined the several advantages of securing compliance with the law of the Church and the land, of putting a stop to unauthorised innovations, and of excluding party distinctions, in their character de cidedly unchristian, from the public worship of GOD ; and I cannot but regret that measures which, with a view to these good purposes, have been recommended by high authorities, should not have been received with unanimous acquiescence, as the means of restor ing order and peace, without any departure from the principles of the Church, or offence to the most scru pulous conscience." The rest of the letter contains nothing and settles nothing. The venerable old man seems sadly puzzled between the dangers to the Church on the one hand from the resistance of the laity to Romish customs: and the arguments of the Puseyite Bishops in favour of the supreme authority of the Church on the other. The people will now see that they must trust to them selves. Madrid journals of the 7th have been received. On that day the_ Senate resumed the consideration of the Bill fur the suppression of the slave-trade, and ulti mately adopted it without any material alteration. The Chamber of,Deputiea was engaged in discussing the Clergy Dotation Bill. The Three per Cents. closed at 31 for cash, and 31i at 60 days; the Five :per Cents. at 231 at 60 days; the Floating Debt at 76 for cash ; and the titles pro ceeding from the conversion of the Foreign Debt, 22i at 60 days. The French Chamber of Peers commenced the dis cussion on the Address in reply to the King's Speech on Monday. Count MOLE, evidently anxious to ac quit himself of the charges brought against him in reference to the coalition against the Government, com menced the debate, and denied, in the strongest terms, that he had contributed in any way to intrigues for a change of Ministers. While he made this declara tion, he at the same time asserted that he entirely disapproved of the general policy pursued by M. GDIZOT, and more particularly of those parts of it which involved negotiations on the affairs of Otaheite and the right of search. On the latter subject the Ministry had deceived the Chamber and the country, which had been led to believe that active measures were in progress for altering the system, while, for ought they knew, nothing whatever had been done, lie would, at the same time, state that no modifica tion—no alteration of the treaties of 1831 and 1833 would satisfy the country. They must be totally abrogated, and a total change of system take place As regarded Otaheite, the Minister had shown the watering and dilatory disposition, and on every point had shown a readiness to yield to England. These are very general phrases, and M. GuizoT treated them as such, briefly announcing that, when the proper time came, he would be able to show that the statements made by the Noble Peer were without foundation. The papers are chiefly occupied in remarks on the documents just published respecting the rude treatment and expulsion of Mr. PRITCHARD from Otaheite. They have little or nothing tc , say against the course adopted by M. GuizoT, for indeed he appears to have come off best in the negotiations between England and France, but still the Opposition journals must find blame somewhere, and they accordingly fall foul of Count JARNAC for his English prepossessions, and the timidity which he displayed in his interviews with:Lord A BERDEEN. The Courrier Francais says be leant to the English side because he had married an Englishwoman. The following are the remarks of the National:—" It is evident to any one who has read the dispatches pub lished in the Journal des Debats of Sunday, that we have not in them any of the important details re lating to the negotiations between the French and English Governments. All that is communicated to the Chambers is confined to the correspondence be tween Count DE JAZNAC and M. GuizoT. But THE SUN, LONDON, WEDN_E.SDAY _E'EN iktG, JANUARY 10 184 b LAMBETH.—(THIS DAY.) John Gay, a hay salesman, was charged by Police- conitable L 42 with being drunk and incapable of taking care of his horse and gig, in the York-road, at half-past ten o'clock last night. The prisoner was taken to the station.house, and the horse and gig to the green-yard. The prisoner denied being drunk, and said it was a piece of impertinent interference on the part of the police to unbuckle the reins of his horse. Henry Uffam, Police-constable L 159, said the prisoner was so drunk that he drove the horse on the pavement, and it was a great mercy that no serious accident occurred. The prisoner replied that he should like to have the police punished ; he only went into the Ordnance Arms to obtain some refreshment, and on his return he found the police in possession of his horse and gig. He had HU about his person, which he offered to leave at the station-house provided that the police would restore the horse and gig and permit him to go home. Mr. HENRY said that instead of wishing to have the police punished, the prisoner ought to be extremely thankful for their care and kindness. lie must pay five atillings for being drunk, and his horse and gig would be returned on payment of the green-yard expenses. SOUT HNVA liK.-(T HIS DAY.) A wall dressed cyprian named Jones, was charged with robbing a gentleman named Edwards, residing in the Commercia:-road East, of a valuable watch. When the sheet containing the charge was placed be fore the Magistrate, the policeman stated that the com plainant was not in attendance. The circumstances of the alleged . robbery were as follows :—Mr. Ed wards accompanied the prisoner to her lodg ings, and soon after his departure he missed his watch, a valuable one. He then returned to the house, but instead of going in he remained all night watching for her in the street'. When she came out in the morning he went up and accused her of the robbery, but she denied the charge, and be then gave her into custody. The watch has not been found. The complainant was perfectly 1-ober at the time. Mr. COTTINGLIAM expressed considerable surprise at the circumstance of the complainant not appearing, and said that he had no right to deprive the woman of her liberty if he did not intend to appear against her. The Magistrate added that he should remand the prisoner, in order to insure the attendance of the loser of the watch. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE--WEDNNSDAY We had a full average supply of English Wheat; the best parcels sold at full prices, but those of other kinds had a downward tendency. Foreign Wheat —in which little business was transacted—was held at Monday's quotations. Barley was a very dull sale, at, in some instances, depressed rates. In Malt evceedingly little was doing, at previous currencies. Oats, Beans, and Peas were very dull. ARRIVALS. 1 Wheat. 1 Earley. Oats.

THE QUEEN V. THE ♦UDITOR OF BURNLEY UNISON. In this case Mr. Ilill moved for a rule for a certiorari to bring up the accounts of the auditor of the Burnley Union, with a view to their being quashed. The pre sent application was made on behalf of the Great Western Railway Company, who objected to a certain charge in the accounts ; and the principal ground of the application was, that the auditor had refused to assign the reasons why he had come to the conclusions to which he arrived, as he was bound to do. In this case the auditor was also the solicitor of the parish, and be had therefore to audit, as auditor, the accounts which he drew up as solicitor. It was his duty, and the duty of the parish officers, to make application to the Commis sioners to appoint a special auditor to undertake the duty.—Rule nisi granted. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice WILLIAM. DILLS V. KENDALL. This was an action to recover 421. 2s. 3d., for goods sold and delivered. Defendant pleaded that he was not indebted. Mr. Platt and Mr. Bagley were for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Watson and Mr. Creasely for the defendant. Mr. PLATT, in opening the case, said that the plain tiffs were tradesmen in Regent-street, and dealt in gloves and hosiery and other finery. The defendant was an architect of considerable celebrity, residing in Suffolk-street when in town, and in Kemp-town at those seasons more applicable for coun try recreations. The articles for the paymtnt of which the present action was brought were supplied to defendant's family in the course of the years 1842, 1843, and 1844, the purchasers being the defendant's wife, son, and daughter. Mr. Kendall had frequently accompanied them to the shop, and was, therefore, conscious that they dealt there. It was but natural to infer then that he was equally conscious that the articles he observed worn by his family, and which were not settled for by him, must have been had from the premises of the Messrs. Hill. The daughter, who was designated " a child " in one of the defendant's solicitor's letters was, he might remark to the jury, a young lady of twenty-one years of age, and therefore not the mere child they might otherwise suppose her. Among the items supplied they would find silk hose, gloves, with here and there a feather, and on ono occasion a silk dress, which was seen upon the young lady at a time when her father was in company. It would certainly, he thought, be a monstrous injustice if a father could, upon the plea of his child being unauthorised to contract these debts, seek to defraud the tradesmen, when an in quiry upon his pert would at once have shown how the articles were obtained, and when bills had been regularly sent to his house upon every succeeding Christmas. He would proceed to call witnesses to prove the case. Evidence was then gone into to prove the various sales, and was not concluded when we went to press. EXCHEQUER.--(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco ) NEWHALL v. WEBSTER AND OTHERS. In this case, which was tried last week at Guildhall, before the Lord Chief Baron, verdict by cons-nt for the plaintiff, the Solicitor-General moved for a rule to show cause ,why a nonsuit shoulii not be entered upon leave reserved for that purpose by the Learned Judge, and also for a new trial upon the ground of misdirection. It was an action for the 'infringement of a patent for certain improvements in wire-ropes, and in the machinery for making such ropes ; the declaration being in the usual form. The defendants had a variety of pleas, the general plea being that they were not guilty of the alleged infringement. The date of the patent was the 7th of 'August, 1840, the specifi cation 13.!ing enrolled on the 6th of February, 1841. It appeared from the evidence that, at a period long prior to the letters patent granted to the plaintiff, hempen ropes had been made by means ofmachinery. Ofcourse the fibres were twisted in the first place into yarns, and the yarns made into strands, for the purpose of forming the rope. Two machines were used, one called a stranding ma chine, the other a laying machine. The stranding machine was used for the purpose of laying the yarns into strands ; the laying machine for that of laying the strands into ropes. The material being of a soft de scription, in forming the strands it was considered important that a twist should be given in order to harden the rope. His principal object was to direct attention to the laying machines, used for the purpose of laying the strands into ropes. For a long time anterior to the plaintiff's patent it had been considered a desideratum that the machines should be so constructed as to prevent a twist in the strand, and enable the rope to bear a greater stress. The laying machines were of a circular fotta, containing in general three bobbin-frames, it being more usual to make three stranded rope than rope of any other description. In order to prevent the twist in the strands, it was necessary that the wheels upon which the bobbin-frames revolved should have a counteracting motion, exactly corresponding to the motion of the whole machine in the contrary direc tion, so that the bobbin-frames should always present the same face. It was proved distinctly that the defen dants themselves had long had in their manufactory ma chinery of this description, that is, machines for prevent ing the twisting of the strand, and that such machines had been used in the last century. The claim which the plaintiff made was the manufacture of un twisted wire .rope, and also of wire-rape in which a core was placed between the strands and the ropes. The Learned Counsel then described at length the peculiar nature of this invention, and referred to the specifica tion in support of his motion. The substance of the complaint on the part of the plaintiff was, that machinery had been used for making hempen ropes which produced the same effect as his invention —Rule granted. RICHARDS V. MACET. This case was tried before the Lord Chief Baron, at Westniinster, on the 4th of December last, and a verdict found for the defendant. It was an action for a promis sory note for 10 01 ., and arose out of the state of the affairs of the Marylebone Bank. Mr. JEavls now moved for a rule for a new trial, on ,he ground of misdirection. The COURT postponed its decision. COMMON P LEAS.—('rms DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) Their Lordships this day gate judgment in the follow ng cases:-- PONTIFER v. WILKINSON. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, who are coppersmiths, against the (lefendant, a builder, to recover the price of a large boiler set up by them under his directions, in the house of a gentleman in the country, for whom the defendant was employed. The defence was that Wilkinson was not liable, not having given the order to the plaintiffs as upon his own responsibility, but for and on account of the gentleman whose agent only he was in the transaction. The verdict was fur the plaintiffs, but the defendant subsequently obtained a rule for a new trial, upon which their Lordships reserved their judgment. The Court now made the rule absolute, and ordered the case to go down again for trial. TYE FISHMONGERS' COMPANY V; RW11)1801/1 AND OTHERS. The plaintiffs 'in this case are proprietors of large tracts of land in the north of Ireland, adjoining Loughs Foyle and Swilly. The defendants have severally con tracted to drain portions of that land, and this action was brought against them to recover damages for breach of contract. The verdict was substantially for the de fendants. The plaintiffs, last term, obtained a rule nisi for a new trial, upon which,' after a long argument, in which several sergeants were engaged on both sides, the Court reserved judgment. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE now gave judgment for the new trial, and made the rule absolute. GRANT v. HUNT. This was an action against the Southampton Bank on a bill of exchange accepted for them, but refused on presdntation. The defence was that the acceptor had not the defendants' authority. The facts of the case did not come very fully before the Court in the first instance, but were referred to Mr. Sergeant Shea, from whom they came before the Court as a special case, which was argued in Trinity Term. Their Lordships now g ate judgment for the plaintiff. Their Lordships then took the new trial paper. PHILLIPS V. IRVING. This was an action for breach of contract in the sup plying of a large quantity of copper coin for the Mexican Government. The verdict was for the plaintiff, and Sir T. Wilde now obtained a rule nisi for a new trial. The facts will be more conve niently reported when the rule comes on for argument. They were fully reported at the time of the trial, but as they are briefreference to will again be expedient. WEBB V. BEVAN AND OTHERS. This was an action for trespass and forcible entry. It was tried before Mr. Justice Erle at the sittings after the last term, and a verdict was given for the plaintiff, damages 25/. The following is a brief barri statement of the facts :—Mr. Bevan, who is a Chancery ster, kept horses at the livery stables of Mrs. Savage, in Fetter lane, a person named Stockers having acted for sonic time as foreman of the e stablishment. For a considerable time this person appeared to have enjoyed the confidence both of his mistress, Mrs. Savage, and of her customers; but at the period when the pre sent cause of contention arose, he no longer possessed their good opinion. Mr. Bevan having determined to sell one of his horses. desired Mrs. Savage to send the animal to Tattersall's for that purpose. Subsequently to his giving instructions on this poir.t, Mrs. Savage had occasion to go into the City ; but, before doing so, she distinctly told Stockers and others that Mr. Bevan's horse should not bo taken aut FLANDERS MAIL. - - .(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BRUSSELS,,JAN. 12.—His Majesty presided in a Coun cil of Ministers, and attended Divine worship in the chapel of the palace. The Minister of the Interior has just appointed a com mission, of which M. Kindt is president, to inquire what are the best means of preventing fires, or of checking their progress. The shares of the General Society have experienced, in the last six weeks, a rise of nearly 150 f., which does not seem likely to stop there, for every day there are applications for shares, which cannot be purchased at the quoted prices. M. Dethuin, a notary, of Mons, has just acted with a degree of disinterestedness which deserves to be made known. Madame Herendal bequeathed to him her whole fortune, amounting to 50,000 f., to the prejudice of her brother. M. Dethuin has declined this legacy in favour of the lady's brother. TURKISH FRONTIER, DEC. 28.—We learn from Bu charest that the Wallachian Bojars of the opposition party, who, have ever been joined by some of the Go vernment party, have resolved, after several meetings, to send a petition to the Porte against the intended sus pension of the General Assemblies..

PETERSBURGU, DEC. 31.—1 t is affirmed that the chief direction of the war against the moun taineers will be confided to General Yermolaw, who has not been employed since 1826, and who formerly distinguished himself in that command by his energy and success. BERLIN, JAN. 6.—Accounts just received from St. Petersburgh speak of a very serious indisposition of the Emperor, and a very extraordinary movement in the Russian Legation here seems to confirm this re port, which has also come from other respectable quarters. According to the accounts, the national Russian party is gaining more and more influence in the Government, and comprehensive plans are said to be contemplated not only to exclude foreigners from all important posts in the public service of the State, but also to limit as much as possible the German element hi the Baltic provinces. It is not to be expected that this plan will soon succeed ; the most powerful protection of the German interests is the Imperial Family itself, in which a national inclination to the country of their ancestors will never be wholly extinguished, notwithstanding all patriotic sentiment respecting Russia. FROM THE DANUBE, JAN. 2.—We learn that the Russian Government has at length given the assu rance that in' the course of next year the channel of the mouth"of the Danube shall be deepened, that the largest ships may pass without danger.
