Extensive preparations are now being made for the prochiction of new and original Equestrian Comic Pant mime, written expressly .for this Theatre, by G. H. Rodwell, Esq. Box-effice open from Eleven till Four. Stage Manager, Mr. T. Thompson. On THURSDAY, December 26, 1850, Will be produced an entirely new and original grand historical Equestrian Christmas Pantomime, written expressly for this Theatre, by the author of " Bluff King Hal," to be entitici HARLEQUIN AND O'DONOCHUE ; or, The White Horse of Killarney. To say that this Equestrian Pantomime will be superbly " mounted," is to say no more than must be expected ; coming, as it does, surrounded with such favourable auspices. It has been said by some authors, that b'Donoghue (but I don't know who) was a good Prince of Ireland; who, eschewing whiskey, Was always chewing water, and kicking his eels (heels) at the bot tom of the Lake of Killarney, excepting once a year when, Malin; himself taken with a swimming in the head, he would pop up to the surface, and mounting his charger, would charge her to gallop across -the Lake. Many expected that so much galloping would have thrown him into a galloping consumption ; but such has not proved the case, for same assert that net only he, but his Horse too, is " still alive and kicking." This h galloping, or Galloparding, always occurred on the Eve of May-Day. The des'tription of him is that he was tall—but not at all too tall—Autt he was handsome, and would hand some whatever they desired —that his appearance was even in the light of Day—that of an Electro-plated Knight; for he was Covered all over a ith a thin Coat of Silver—this Coat he could never wear cut, because he was always at home. Bet now to the Pantomime ; SCENE TUE FIRST. THE OLEN OF MISCHIEF. The Hag of Mischief, over a I'eat Fire, Is still trying to elicit from an Illicit Still the Evil Spirit of Ireland, in the form of HisKEy Who, though still in the Still, won't be still, but " busts his biler,' and stands confessed the RE AL POTEEN This powerful Spirit is sent by the Hag of Mischief, under the disguise of Paddy Carey, to tempt and lulu the followers of " Father Mathew" and the " Water Cure," whom, she says, are the especial favourites of the " Water Drinking Fool," O'Donoghue. Whiskey sa ears he'll de her bidding, for he'll fire them with drank, by making, them as drunk as blazes' Mischief parts from Whiskey with " a drop in her eye," but Whiskey is not so affected ; for he is sure that where Whiskey is, Mischief won't be far off. SCENE TIII SEC iND. THE LAKE OF KILLARNEY. The entrance to the MAnsion of Lord Bullfrog is on one side, on the other a little inn. It being in Ireland, the sign was to have been " a Bull," but " bull," not being in fashion at present, it has been changed to the " Queen's Head." If being May-Day Eve, the Fairies of the Lake are seen dancing and strewing flowers on the water, as if sweetly M'Adamizing the road, preparatory to the ap pearance of O'DONOGHUE ON HIS WHITE HORSE. He gallops across the Lake, says much that is well worth hearing, puts on the habit of a Beggar, and, " 0 Charming May," what a time for making a little Irive ; is think the fair Kathleen and her Lover Dermot Astore, but instead of making a little, they make a great deal. She relieves the Beggars wants, and then wants to have a little more love. It has long since been an established fact, that even Cupid, who can change any man int 3 a goose, sometimes has his own " goose cooked," and so it proves now, for Lord Bull frog's Cookey, discovering the Lovers, flares up, a broil" en , ues, and all are thrown Into a perfect " stew." At this critical moment, Lord Bullfrog, with his jovial companions, return from the chase. Lady Bullfrog (to see her is to love her), with her interesting little family, comes to meet him. S'e flies into her husband's arms—and thus (as many married ladles have done before) stands "in arms against her husband." Lord Bullfrog is enraged with the Lovers, Ito to punish Dermot, who is in his debt, he seizes his only friend, his Horse. by way of payment, but - geis " more kicks than ha'pence." O'Donoghue, as the medicant, aids the Lovers, and Dermot's Horse Is restored. Lord Builirog, being determined to get rid of his plague of a daughter, pu's her up as " a Prize," which makes her look very " blank," as he exclaims— Whoe'er to-morrow brings the fairest steed, The one that leaps the best, has greatest Is ed; Shall have fair Kathleen—yes, she and all her tin, So try your lucks, and let the best Horse win. All disperse, leasing Dermot 'alone with h , s Horse, by whose aid, be feels certain to win his heart's dearest hope. But, alas ! " the soarse of true love never did run smooth." Whiskey comes in the Way, and whi.ks away his senses—then his money—and, at last, his Horse; Wh;skey mounts the Horse, and, setting un a horse laugh, gallops off with it. Dermot in despair determines to try the " Water Cure," by drowning: himself, hut, Is prevented by O'Dono ghue, who p:ornises to lead him another horse ler the morrow's race, and at on :e takes to the bottom of the Lake. SCENE THE THIRD. THE CORAL STABLE OF TILE THOUSAND STEEDS. 'Piero O'Donoghue's White Horse is seen quite at home enjoying Ids banquet, waited upon by Ponies and Water Fairies. He is in the prime of lite. " None of your ha:.-beens," for he " never has beans," but dines off his three courses like a gent, cornisting of a TUREEN of PUMP SOUP, a dish of STEWED HORSE LEECHES, and a plateau of CORNED BEEF, the whole washed down by a bottle of CLOVER WINE. Having a- turn for taciturnity, he stands no " char," and having cut his corns, has no objections to a little dance. Dermot chooses a Horse, which, as might be expected, proves " one in a thousand." He feels "quite op in the stirrups," and as he is Changing his clothes, he is closed in by changing the scene to SCENE THE FOURTH, THE LAUGHING FOREST. Whiskey and Mischief meet again. lice Evil Spirit tells the Hag that he has obtained Dermot's fay:quite Horse, and on it he hopes to win the race, end thus bring Kathleen within their power. The trees enjoy the run, and though precious old ones, " laugh like sew 'uns." SCENE THE FIFTH. MAY-DAY IN THE HILLS or KILLARNEY. Here we rind Morris Dancing, Running in a Sack, Grinning through a Collar, and ether delicate amusements previous to the GREAT TRIAL ! All the competitors seize their stirrups, and some of them "put their foot in it." But where is Dermot ? If they start without - km, there will be a start wi.h a vengeance. But no he is coming, sifid very becoming he comes. All Is prepared; off they go. This proves true enoagh, for many go off over their horses' necks. Der mot leaps his Lordship's " gate" after a "style" of his own Whiskey' being a lad of " spirit," is not at all behind. Nov for the Race. which is to decide all ! Kathleen trediblf s. Whiskey must put his Strength to the proof. Kathleen takes courage, for to her Dermot is far too winning. to lose—nor does he ; but Whiskey getting possessioa of 'Cathleen and the Falry - Steed, flies off with her. All Consterna- Siou--" Pursue, pursue." SCENE THE SIXTH. THE PURSUIT THROUGH THE LAUGHING FOREST. O'Donoghue again befriends Dermot, by lending him his own Whits Ilerse--Cooky has mounted her Arabian steed, which, clever as the thought him, proves a perfect ass.

D A/CIEL O ' CONNELL, Jut —KILLARNEY, DEC. 18. —An accident of a serious nature occurred to Mr. Daniel O'Connell, youngest son of the "Libe rator," while out shooting at. Rockfield. After discharging one of the barrels of his double fowling-piece, he was about reloading it, when the other undischarged barrel exploded, ;shattering the left hand frightfully Medical aid was in stantly procured, and after the hand was dressed and ban daged Mr. O'Connell proceeded on foot, though suffering in tensely, to the - house of his uncle, Mr. James O'Connell, Lakeview. At a later date our correspondent writes : "Serious apprehension is entertained that lock-jaw will be the result of the injury which Mr. D. O'Connell sustained. The part injured was the right hand ; the palm, and the two forefingers, and the thumb were to rn t o atoms. "—C or k aramncr.

The meeting of the Commissioners of Sewers on Friday was rendered important by the announcement of Sir DE LA BECHE that the Commissioners had ac tually, in the construction of the Victoria-street sewer, commenced carrying out a system which com prised the entire abstraction of the sewage from the Thames upon the northern side to at least a distance equal to Galleon's Reach, coupled as it was with the statement subsequently made by Mr. PET°, that the plan for the southern side of the river relieved the whole of the southern district of the met ropolis with two lifts only, and afforded the power of removing the whole of the sewage to any distance required or de sired, provided it should not be found that at the point they proposed to stop the public bad in the meantime made such arrangements as should utilise the whole of the sewage, and that, although the new Victoria-street sewer must necessarily discharge itself for the present at Scotland-yard, yet that ulti mately the whole of Westminster and the whole of the City sewage would be discharged at such a distance down as should be be yond the reach of London, and from which no practical evil can ensue. We are rejoiced to receive from a gentleman of such high character and such extensive practical knowledge as the Hon. Member for Norwich, this distinct pledge that the waters of the Thames will be preserved pure ; for, be it ob served that Mr. PETO has declared that the plan proposed affords the power of removing the sewage to any distance required, and the required distance he himself admits to be " such a distance down as shall be beyond the reach of London," so that we msy now congratulate ourselves that there is " a good time coming," when we may hope to be sup plied with pure water from the Thames itself. Whether or not it would be more profitable to dis infect the sewage, and extract from it all its fertilizing qualities, suffering the clear and inodorous superna tant fluid alone to escape into the Thames, is a matter which we will not now stop to discuss, so satisfied are we_ with the promise of Mr. PETO that the sewage shall be disposed of in such a manner as to be beyond the reach of London. We congratulate our fellow-denizens of the metropolis on this most important decision—a decision for which, we believe, they are solely indebted to the reconstitution of the Commission on the Bth October, 1849, and the substitution of practical men like Mr. PETO for mere chattering amateurs. Mr. STEVENSON, and Mr. PETO, and Mr. RENDEL were solicited on that occasion to become members of the Sewage Commission as a matter of great public duty, and as such they con sented. Since that period Mr. PETO has devoted gratuitously to the service of the public, on this Com mission, a period of time equal to no less than seven months, during which he and his brother Commis sinners have examined the reports on no less than 700 miles of main sewers, have examined the whole of the plans submitted to their predeces- sors in office, and have formed and mapped out a plan for the whole southern side of the river. These statement show that, at all events, Mr. PETO and his coadjutors have not been idle, and he declares that he is prepared to remain in London, and to follow up this matter de die in diem, until the plan shall be com- pleted. The constant presence at the Board of a gentleman of Mr. PETo's great experience must be invaluable, and he is entitled to the grateful thanks of every inhabitant of the metropolitan districts for the manner in which he has devoted himself to their service, by giving to them gratuitously the incalculable advantage of his knowledge, experience, and energy. In the arrogant aggression of the Roman POEMr there is something amusing from its very audacity. The advisers of Pope Plus the NINTH, in this recent freak of ultramontaneism (for we acquit his HOLINESS himself, a weak, well-meaning man, of the possession of sufficient " pluck " to originate a deed of such sin gular daring), have reckoned in this instance without their host. Vaulting :ambition has o'erleaped itself. It is true that as Jour( BULL was meditating peace ably upon things in general, on the state of the money max ket, the glories to come of the Exhibition of '5l, his winter's stock of coals, and Christmas cakes and ale, all at once, without warning, provocation, or the remotest inkling, he received a sudden slap in the face that resounded throughout Europe. Little did the honest man dream that after the late chapter of acci dents in the Ausonian land, St. Peter's had such a shot in the locker reserved for his especial behoof. It fell not within the com pass of his imagination to anticipate that the Chapelgorries of the Vatican, who, but for " the holy bayonets of France," would, long ere this, hav e been sent skirring out of the gates of Rome, like a flock of scared flamingoes, with their attendant swarm, " White, black, and grey, with all their trumpery," by the indignant people, who now unhappily lie panting beneath their suffocating oppression, would dare to single him out for the butt of their fantastic tricks. Would those dearly-beloved sons of the Church, the Emperor of AUSTRIA, or the PRESIDENT of the French Republic, who sent the other diyeutograph epistles of congratulation to his Emi nence the Cardinal of St.Pudentiana, permit the Pops to nomi nate arbitrarily t o a s i ng l e ep i scopa l appoint ment w ithin their respective dominiors ?Or would the Bishop of Rosu venture upon such an usurpa tion of prerogative b any one continental state, Pa pisticel or Protestant, to : ay noth;ng of the schismatic empire of the CZAR ? Unquestionably not, either the one or the other ; end yet a country, the constitu tional Throne of which is based on Protestantism —the headship of whose,Claurch by law established is solemnly vested in the SOVEREIGN—which, even prior to the Reformation, was ever vigilantly jeal ous o f her rights, religious as well es civil, and abhorrent of the undue interference or the control of any foreign po tentate whatsoever--finds, in the middle of the nine- LONDON, MONDAY able clauses and omissions in the bulls, absolutely prohibits all judicial or extrajudicial reference 'what- soever thereto, as sanctioned or tolerated by the Go vernment, and imposes a peremptory obligation on the new Bishop of CARTHAGENA of taking, previous to entering upon the exercise of his functions, and in the presence of the Governor of the province, the oath of fidelity to the civil laws prescribed by the articles of the constitution. If these things be resented by Catholic Grenade, are they not to be routed and scouted by Protestant England ? Priestly tyranny should ba sternly checked, whether the would be despot be a Pope in reality, or a Pope in heart, whether he be MASTAI of Rome, or HARRY of Exeter ! It is not to the man, but to the system, that we are sworn foes, and our Rlman Catholic fellow-lieges should not be purblind to their real interests. A sleepless lust of sway has reigned on the banks of the Tiber for nearly three thousand years, and we are now in the grapple of one of its most desperate developments. It is not by parading GUT FAWIESES, or by reviling the religion of our Romish brethren, that we are to assert our abhorrenee of " the arrogant and insidious" burglary upon the Ark of the Constitution. The question is one not o: mere theology, but of politics. The sentiments and determination of the free people of England have been pronounced in unmistakeable accents through- out the length and breadth of the land, and they confidently expect that they shall find no hesitating or inefficient spirit in the breasts of their leaders at the fitting season. Lord ionzi RUSSELL, of his own free accord, took a bold and honourable position at the outset. Let him strive to save the Protestant Church from foes without and foes within ; from oppugnators and from traitors ; from beasts of prey and from domestic vermin. He stands in the gap, not inadequate, we willingly be lieve, to such a crisis. But woe to the Minister who would dare to have recourse to dissimulation or delay, to tamper with the civil and religious liberties of the empire, or to deal with this momentous matter otherwise than in a fearless and straightforward manner. Loss of place and power would be a trivial calamity compared to the undying infamy which would thicken round his head. Mr. Arthur Russell has been appointed to succeed Mr. Charles J. Grey as one of the private secretaries to Lord John Russell. _ ACCIDENT AT THE LYCEUM THEATRE.—As Mr. Morris, one of the corps dramatiqus of the Lyceum, was pro ceeding towards the stage to act his part on Saturday night, his foot slipped, and he fell with such violence that he severely injured his leg, and had inst an tly t o b e removed to the King ' s College Hospital, where, strange to say, he was, it is stated, refused admission because he had not " a letter," as it is termed. He was, therefore, conveyed to his lodgings in the greatest agony. - - IMPROVEMENT AT THE GENERAL POST OFFICE.- Workmen are busily engaged in a very extensive improve ment at the General Post-office, in St. Martin's•le-Grand, the yard from the grand portico to the north entrance having been excavated for the purpose of forming a range of work shops (carpenters, plumbers, &c.), underground. The roof will be of glass, and externally there will be no alteration in the appearance of the edifice. The improvement has been deemed necessary in consequence of the vast accumulation a papers in the vaults. in some of which were the work shops. The new foundation will be carried out as far as the outer railings in St. Martin's-le-Grand, and it is contemp lated to continue the works on the south side towards Cheapside. AYLESBURY ELECTION.—Mr. Sergeant Byles has retired from the contest, the cause of which will be seen from the following extract copied from his parting address :- " I have seen with regret some defections from the ranks of the old Conservative party in Aylesbury and the hundreds. For those defections lam not responsible. I find they existed before I came forward. Illiberal attacks have also been made on me for private religious opinions, which I neither obtrude nor conceal, which never have been a disqualification for Parliament, nor any reason at all wby a gentleman should not be a friend and supporter of that Church which is, and I trust ever will be, by law established. Und er th ese circumstances I can no longer, with advantage to you or sa tisfaction to myself, continue to be a candidate for the repre sentation of your borough." SOUTH NOTTINGHAMSHIRE ELECTION. —There is a strong probability that both the candidates in the field will proceed to a poll. Lord Newark is relying upon the all but omnipotent influence of the Dukes of Portland and New castle, Earl Manvers, and lord Middleton. His opponent, Mr. Barrow, finds an arm of strength in the numerous small freeholders and independent voters. He has, moreover, the secret sympathy and good wishes of the great mass of the tenant farmers, who, if they dare, would support him openly. Indeed it is highly probable that numbers of them will for once ri,k the landlords' displeasure, and exercise their own judgment in the use of their suffrage.—Notts Review. THE GREAT BRITAIN.—This steam-ship has at length been sold by the directors of the Great Western Steam-ship Company, to Mr. Paterson, the eminent ship builder of Bristol, for the sum of 18,0001., being about the seventh part of her original cost. Mr. Patterson is now building in the dock in which the Great Britain was built a steam-ship for the Royal West India Mail-packet Company, and she will ba six feet longer than the Great Britain. THE BISHOP OF LONDON AND THE PUSETITES.— The Bishop of London en Saturday issued peremptory in qructions to Archdeacon Sinclair (Middlesex), and Arch. deacon Hale (London), to institute inquiries into the manner of conducting divine service in certain churches and chapels in his diocese. Rumours of his Lordship's intention have been extensively circulated during the last few days, but the commission was only on Saturday definitively ordered.... Advertiser. teenth century, in the plenitude of her power—reposing in the reasonably entertained security of her unstinted toleration to all classes of her denizens—the very 'existence of her National Church contemptuously ignored, and her territory parcelled out among the .nominees of an Italian priest. There are, thank Gon, men—and we trust and believe many men—among our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects, who, like the Premier Peer of England, loyal, religious, attached ,to their ancestral faith, neither the slaves of super stitious dread or the tools of sacerdotal arrogance— discountenance and deplore this rash escapade of Papal extravagance. Whilst participating in our regret, at finding the dying embers of religious feud temporarily rekindled by the application of a noxious , and untimely firebrand, they disdain to tarnish `the purity of their allegiance, to be either bul lied or cajoled into sanctioning what they know within their hearts and consciences to be an unwar rantable invasion and encroachment on the principles of the British Constitution, and the veered rights of our constitutional QUEEN. There was a straw thrown up a little time since in Ireland, but the popular prescience was not suffi ciently sharpened to - draw any conclusion therefrom as to the way the wind was blowing. It has been the immemorial custom to have the vacancies in the Irish Roman Catholic hierarchy filled up as they occur by means of diocesan election. The priests of the diocese elect three names, which are submitted to the Supreme PONTIIr of their Church, that he may select one out of the three, no matter whether he fix his choice on the Dignissimus, the Dignior, or the Dignus in the list (so classified according to the pre ponderance of suffrages), and nominate him to the vacant see. In the instance referred to,the Primacy had to be filled up. The three names were forwarded in due course to Rome. But his HOLINESS thought fit to travel out of the beaten track, and, scouting the established privilege of the Irish priesthood, nomi nated to the high office the Reverend PAUL CULLEN, an Irishman by the accident of birth, but for a third of a century a resident within the walls of Rome. This was a nomination ex mero motu, pre cursory to that sweeping specimen of autocratism which has since inundated England with a batch of soi disant bishops, but in which nomination, however, the Irish Roman Catholics seem meekly to have ac quiesced, and which has proved to be the first note of the overture. Unless the junior be grievously belied, a charge similar to that advanced against the apostle of old cannot be alleged against his modern namesake. Too much learning bath not made Primate PAUL mad. It was pronounced by ANAXAGORAS that the solar orb was of the same dimensions as the Pelopon nesns, but our,modern astronomer gravely and autho ritatively assigns to the sun a diameter of six feet ! IF we err as to the exact quantity we are, of course, open to correction. It has likewise been noted by the curious that since his advent to the Irish shores the tbking the oath of allegiance has formed no part of the proceedings of the imported Hierarch. This is, we trust, an inaccurate observation. There can, how ever, be no offence in asking whether the Right Rev. PAUL CULLEN has sworn allegiance to the SOVEREIGN of these realms, and if riot, why not ? The course of paternal love, emanating in this pre sent fashion from the Seven Hills has not run alto gether smoothly in another quarter of the globe. The PRESIDENT of the Republic of New Granada has, in a prompt and dignified manner, encountered the in troduction of certain Papal bulls - recently addressed to the clergy and people of that state, and certain clauses of which the Government has conceived to be an aggression on its prerogatives. Among other grounds of complaint, are " the omission of all men tion of the Government of the Republic," and " the omission of the oath of fidelity to the laws and civil authorities (equivalent to the oath of allegiance amongst us) in the formulary for the oath of fidelity and obedience to the Apostolic See." The decree accordingly, protesting against the objection S 1.1 N 3 EVENING, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The proeeedings in the Assembly on Saturday were of a most damaging character to the great party of the reaction. Verily they have learned nothing, they have forgotten nothing, and it would seem as though, having taken M. GARNIER DE CAS.. SAGNAC as their writer of all-work, " the Minis terialists" were anxious to revive the scandals of the last days of Louis PHILIPPE in their entirety. It will be recollected that lotteries in France are prohibited by law, but that an exception is made in favour of lotteries for small amounts, for the disposal of objects of art for a charitable purpose. The brave, the self devoted garde Mobile, to whose fidelity in June, 1848, every individual member of " the great party of order" owes not only his property, but his life, have been treated by the clergy and aristocracy, and beaurocracy, with characteristic ingratitude, and turned adrift without a provision. It struck M. CARLIER, the Prefect of Police, that he might explode these brave men, and accord. ingly he proposed a lottery scheme for sanding them to California as a work of charity, the prizes to con sist of ingots of gold, which were the works of art. M. BAROCHE, the Minister of the Interior, thereupon gave the required authorization, and the lottery took place. The ship was to have sailed in November, but no departure took place, and the accommodation pro vided for the unfortunate emigrants was of so insufficient a character, that two gentlemen, who had been induced to become orgiially members of the committee, resigned in disgust. Under these circum stances M. PASCAL DEFEAT, on Saturday, interpo lated M. BAROCHE, the Minister of the Interior, on the subject. The Minister replied, and concluded by moving the order of the day, pure and simple, which is tantamount to a vote of confidence in the Ministry ; this was rejected by a majority of 426 to 192, and there upon M. BAROCHE declared he would resign. The great party of order was immediately thrown into the most admired disorder, and am id s t th e con t em ptuous laughter of the Mountain, no less than forty orders of the day motive were proposed by different Members, all with a view of conciliating the protector of M. CARLIER To add to the confusion, that imp of mischief, EMILE DE GIRARDIN, ascended the tribune, and, when si lence was restored, read the following order of the day:— z - 6 The majority, satisfied, passes to the order of the day." . This order of the day occasioned the greatest uproar and loud cries of censure from the right. The President said that M. do Girardin bad deposited his order of the day on the table, but that be had re fused to accept it, and told him to reflect on its conse quences. He persisted, and as it contained an insult to the maj , wity, he would consult the Asst mbly. M. de Girardin said that his order t f the day was perfectly serious; that a similar order of the day was adopted in July, 1847, and that six months afterwards a revolution took place.—(Loud murmurs, and cries of the forged message.") M. de Girardin, in reply, said that the journal which had published the message had not invented it, and that it was boni fide a message of the President of the Republic.— (Cries of " Shame, shame," on the Right ) The President then consulted the Assembly, and M. de Girardin's exclusion during three days with censure was pronounced by a considerable majority. Much agitation ensued, and M. Emile de Girardin left the hall. Ultimately the following order of the day motive, proposed by M. KEEDREL, was agreed to by a majo rity of 375 to 292 : " The National Assembly, confiding in the solici tude of the Goyernmen+, passes to the order of the day." Count MOLE has of late been exhibiting Legitima tist propensitie s , and the rupture between him an d M. TIIIERS is comp lete. The Three per Cents. were done at 95'. 75c.

GERMAN Y. Accounts from Berlin of the 20th, state that a portion of the Council of Princes has protested against the Olmutz arrangement for sending com missioners to Holstein and Hesse. The Prussian Moniteur publishes the following as the formation of the new Ministry : M. DE MANTEUFFEL, President of the Mi nistry and Minister of Foreign Affairs. M. DE RAUMER, Minister of Public Worship. M. DE WisrrnaLEN, Minister of the Interior and of Agriculture. Baron LADEPDERG has been appointed to a post in tt • Treasuri. RADETSILY left Vienna, for Milan, on the 161 h. On the 18:h an official notice arrived at Frankfort that the federal fortress of Raastadt is to be garrisoned by a federal Austrian corps of 3,000 men. They are to be detached immediately from the corps now sta tioned at Wurtemburg. The other division of the garrison at Raastadt will consist of four battalions of Baden troops. It is stated that the two great Garman powers have decidedly refused the intervention of any foreign power whatever in the free conferences of Dresden. The Austrian troops stationed in Swabia and Fran , conic are to take up their winter quarters there. HOLLAND. Tim HAGUE, Dac. 21.—The Second Chamber continues the debate on the budget. The article which allows the sum of 14,170 francs for the salary of the bureau was rejected by the Chamber, having decided incidentally that corporeal punishments are abolished de facto. In the course of the Ealing the Minister for Foreign Affairs submitted to the Chamber the convention con eluded with Prussia for the mutual extradition of criminals, and the Minister for the Colonies presented reports on the colonisation of the East. RUSSIA. The Schlesische Zeitung has ;gain intelligence of a conspiracy which has been discovered in the south of Russia. The Berlin Wehr Zeitung publishes a detailed ac count of the Russian army, from which it appears that the army consists of 17 corps in 107 military administrative districts. They are divided and sub divided into 74 divisions, 2411 brigades, 322 regi ments, 889 battalions, 3251 batteries, 1,464 esca dros, 4,900 companies, with 18 arsenals, 7 military factories, and 501 artillery parks. The newly-appointed Cardinal Wiseman held his primacy ordination yesterday morning, at the Roman Ca tholic (.;hapel, Spanish-place. The announcement drew to gether a vast quantity of persons, who seemed eager to hear the charge which his Eminence might deliver to his newly appointed clergy. In this expectation, however, they were disappointed, the Cardinal dispensing with the usual exhorta tion. One priest was ordained, and several other persons were admitted to the order of deacon and sub-deacon. Pon tifical High Mass was performed, and the Cardinal was as. sisted in the ceremony by several priests of the newly-consti tuted Archdiocese of Westminster.— Weekly Chrooicle. SUlClDE.—Yesterday (Sunday) morning at a few minutes past nine o'clock, a person named Boakes, who was formerly in the Excise, committed suicide by hanging himself in his back-kitchen at No. 35, Penton-street, Wai.. worth. The Niagara, Captain Stone, sailed from Liverpoo on Saturday for Boston. UMBRBILA.—It was introduced to Bristol about 1780. A lady, now eighty-three years of age, remembers its first appearance, which occasioned a great sensation. Its colour was red, and it probably came from Leghorn, with which place Bristol at that time maintained a great trade. Leghorn has been called Bristol on a visit to Italy.—Notes and Quoria. EXTRAORDINARY SUPPLY OF POULTRY.--The supply from various parts of the country for the metropolitan markets has exceeded in quantity any former years; the sister island is also not backward in furnishing supplies of this kind, one vessel which arrived a few days ago from Waterford having brought 180 large cases, weighing upwards of 20 tons, all of which were consigned for delivery by Younghuaband and Son, railway carriers; and this morning (Monday) the arrival from Dublin was upwards of 200 packages, weighing nearly 30 tons, brought from Bristol by the Great Western Company, and consigned to the same firm for delivery, being the largest quantity of poultry ever brought to London by the same firm. OUR NEW PORT ADMIRAL.—It is reported in the best informed naval circles that Admiral the Right Hon. the Marquis of Thomond, G C.II , will hoist his flag on the 10th of September next, as Commander-in-Chief of this port, vice Admiral the Hon. Sir Bladen Cape!, K.C.8., whose term will then have expired.—P or t smout h Ti mes and Na val Gazette POST -OFFICE NOTICE.-CHRISTMAS-DAY.—Agree ably to annual custom there will be no delivery of letters within the limits of the London district post on the afternoon of Christmas-lay.

SUDDEN DEATH OF AN OFFICIAL ASSIGNEE AT MANCREaTEa....—On Friday Mr. R. P. Hobson, official as signee in the Manchester District Court of Bankruptcy, was seized with the pangs of death while in the discharge of his duties in court. Mr. Hobson had been suffering from illness, and confined to his house, but had returned to is duties on Thursday. On Friday he also attended court, and was transacting business, when, about oue o'clock, he sank down on the floor in a swoon, and died Ili about two hours after wards, and before he was removed from the premises.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 500 Egyptian were taken on speculation, and comprised about 5,000 Ame rican; 800 Pernam and Maranham, at Bd. to 8t1.; 300 Bahia, at 81d. ; 1,000 Egyptian, at 781. to 9d. ; and 1,000 Surat, at 511. to 6d. per lb. The market closed firm.—ln Railway Shares a fair business was done, at ratber better priees. The advices from the United States are to the 11th instant, and in resp►ct to mercantile matters read well, except that the home manufacturers are quite unable to compete with England. Taking the year ending June 30, the exports of manufactures were as follows: 1,911,320 6,645,744 All other manufectured articles ... 8,498,641 The Californian intelligence is still the most inte resting in the catalogue of American news. From Nov. 12, 1849, to Sept. 30, 1850, the exports, from St. Francisco, passed through the Custom House, were 20,280,000 dollars. These shipments were made in less than twelve months. This includes only the exports through the Custom House. A very large amount has left in the trunks of passengers, and it would not, be far out of the way to e.timate the exportation of gold dust and bullion from San Francisco, for the above named period at thirty millions of dollars. This is independent of what has been taken out of the country by other routes and in the baggage of individuals. The amount of California gold received at the Phila delphia Mint has averaged, for the last eleven months, two and a half millions of dollars per month, as will be seen by the following statement from the Treasurer : Gold dust &posited in November Coinage during the same period 4,104,000 Aggregate receipts of California g,,ld dust from January Ist to November 30th, in clusive •••• From other sources 27,350,000 1,200,000 Total receipts—eleven months This, compared with the statement of shipments from San Francisco, shows that large amounts of dust have left that port, and been received at the Philadelphia Mint, independent of those officially reported. It appears by the above, that the receipts at the Mint in eleven months exceed by many millions the exports from San Francisco in about the same length of time. The Jamaica news to November 28th via New York, is very distressing as regards the cholera, which has been very fatal at Kingston, but is now more severe in other parts of the island. Kingston is reported to have lest 5,000 by that disease, and a proportionate number at Port Royal; it had entirely disappeared from the latter place. The most melancholy accounts are received from the interior and agricultural districts. The Journal says that, in the Plantain Garden River district, one thousand persons have been swept away by the fell destroyer. It states that—" From St. David's frightful accounts have been brought to town. Not only have the great masses of the population between the Eleven Mile Tavern and Yallah's, and a large number of the inhabitants in and around Elsington been swept away, but it is said that the whole police force, sergeants, cor porals, and privates, have been immolated." The Honduras Watchman contains dates from Guate mala to the 18th of October. The Gaceta, of that place, states that, in consequence of the defeat and dispersion of the revolutionary and turbulent parties on the road to the city of Palencia by the Government troops, under the command of the General-in-Chief, they have scat tered over different parts of the state. A party of about forty men entered San Raymundo, under the command of one of the principal leaders, Geronimo Rosales, where they remained for about an hour, and committed several excesses. The roads from Yzabel to Guatemala appear to be much more secure and safe, as the post arrives to and from these places with much greater regularity. The Avon steamer, direct from the West Indies, does not bring later dates from Jamaica than the 27th ult., whereas by way of New York we have to the Ist inst. The accounts from the other islands are more recent, and tolerably satisfactory. The steamer has over a mil lion of dollars on board, and the silver will be very ac ceptable. 9% % li% % SB% #l4 16 % 14 to% 3 % 3 2‘06 9 X, % IN % 3 %.% % 5% x.d 10% 113 k I 8 17% 1$ - 6% 11% % 12% % yi 79% 79 11% LOOM 60 59% 13% 4% % 87% 67 88 [127 127 1 4 126% 21% 80 79% 28% 2$ 1034 dis. 493 49 j 4 16% % 16 % Sli it X 1•% A:34 6 5% dig 411 dia. 3% 1* Ili% 23% % % % HO 111% 14 141( MARKET NE Ws.—(THIS DA Clover Seed command S ef E a D s S teady sale at fuji ' l 1 1:1 1!! week's prices; but Csnary Seed is chase.
