" The author, we are convinced. is young, otherwise we could hardly se e displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired by a high. standard cf morality and religion, ang by a laudable love of the,purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions au the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in whizli links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man nerses, and Smythes."—Observer. ' l ` Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great good tae and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaging st novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry ; and Julia Maitland, the noblest and best of them all." —Morning Post.

Two months since we directed the public attention to the extraordinary inducement Afforded for invest ments at the other side of St. George's Channel. At no former period of English or Irish history were there so many advantages offered to purchasers, or such extensive opportunities for gratifying any taste " I ' lne Y which the fortunate owner of a few loose thousands may choose to indulge in. He may turn to any point of the compass, east, west, north, or prefer south—if h e the bracing breezes of the Atlantic, the milder air of some inland loch, or t h e temperate climate of mid land counties, he will find someth ing to suit him exactly, in eve r y • quarter an d every district, from Cape Clear to Donaghadee, from Carntore to Blacksod Bay, and that of dimensions suited ions to his finances, whether he be a mzlii•nnaire or the owner of a few hundreds. He can find somethin g suited for oc cupation or investment, for his future dwelling -place , or where he may draw his rents from the occupants, obtaining a more profitable return for his money than in any quarter equally safe. When once he has fixed his choice, and been declared the pur cheser of any lot submitted to public competition, he Ms no further trouble or difficulty to encounter, n o abstract of title to be laid before counsel, no compli cated and expensive searches to he made, and no objections. to be argued, _perhaps made the founda tion of atuit in equity. While his money continues idle and unproductive, all is prepared; the moment his money is paid he 'will receive his deed of con veyance, not a verbose and prolix document, containin g lengthy and, useless recital!, calculated to occasion exp ense an d annoyance , if he should be come desirous o f disposing of hl3 acquisition or making it availabl e as a security for a loan, b ut go i ng directly to the point, without an unnecessary word or sentence. But this paper, although short, will he effectual; whe n once h e has rte' ll * v ed it he will have nothing to f ear f rom new e i • whose rights w ose rights had be en over l ooked sional men eng age d in the _ the prof es investigiition of 1 the title. Whatever may happen he cannot • be disturbed or inconvenienced, evicted from his property, or put to any cost or annoyance, in defend ing his possession against all comers. His tie will be guaranteed by the Imperial Parliament, and in any future dealing, with respect to it, no inquiry can be demanded going back beyond the deed of transfer executed by the Commissioners for the sale of En cumbered Estates in Ireland. None but a legal practitioner can estimate those ex traordinary privileges at their actual value; but there is probably no person possessed of property sufficient to enable him to make an eligible purchase who will not readily comprehend that something very desirable is placed within his reach. We tell him, and we have no hesitation in saying, that the estimate is by no means exaggerated, but that it will be confirmed by every person qualified to form a correct judgment on the premises, that it may be considered equivalent to fully 20 per cent. on the amount of purchase money, or from three to five years' rental of the property. Let parties think of these things, and compare the actual value of estates with the prices at which they are still disposed of (for we are happy to say that a great im provement is already perceptible in the market), and they will see the prudence of seizing the golden moment ere it flies, and availing themselves of the opportunities that are rapidly departing. Hitherto there has been a wild and unreasoning panic with respect to Irish properties, similar to that which prevailed with respect to railway shares. Those who ware possessed of capital, which they would gladly have invested on far less favour able terms than could easily have beer► obtained, bung back until the tide turned. We need scarcely remind our readers how we have exposed the folly of this course. In April last, when the tide was at the lowest —when London and North-Western shares were quoted at 101 to 102, and Great Western at 47 to we pointed out the inadequency of prices, and strongly recommended our friends and the public not to let the opportunity slip. Those who acted on our advice have had no reason to regret doing so—the same shares were yesterday quoted at 124 to and 78 to 79, being an improvement of 231. per share on the former, and of 31/. per share on the latter, and we have no doubt that they will reach still higher amounts. In Ireland the panic reached to even a higher pitch. We have seen well circumstanced estates selling at thirteen or fourteen years' purchase, or little more than one-half their real value. This will not again occur, for the tide has turned in _lreland also; although it is as yet flowing but sluggishly, it will rise higher and higher every day. Let not parties desirous of making investments in that country suppose that they can coquette much longer with impunity. When the Securities for Advances Bill—the measure best calculated to promete the prosperity of Ireland of any that have been introduced for many years past — becomes the law of the land, and it will unquestion ably be so early in the approaching session, there will be a considerable increase in the rates of purchase. Ocher measures also will be brought forward calculated to develope the wonderful natural resources of the country ; and we have seen the appliances of science also directed to the same purpose, and have heard of the almost miraculous discoveries of Mr. REECE REECE, which converts the peat, that is to be obtained in almost boundless quantities, into a source of wealth more rich than the sands of California. For Ireland' " the good time is rapidly coming," and once more we earnestly recommend the matter to the attention of our friends and the community in gene ral, certain that, as in the case of railways, those who follow it will have no cause to regret that they had done so. 4 The art of governing a country consists in having good I laws, and in their being well administered. The ac complishment of these objects is held to be the acme of political wisdom. Without advancing on the part of England that, either theoretically or practically, she has as yet attained to a state of constitutional perfec tion, it can, nevertheless, be fearlessly asserted that we have substantially acquired all the essential points that form the basis of civilization. However institu tions may vary in different countries, and however much leading statesmen and philosophers, Trans atlantic as well as European, have elaborately des canted upon their respective forms and excellences, it is still beyond question that we enjoy the rights of civi lized life in a greater ratio than they are participated in by the citizens of any other nation. Life, liberty, propsrty, justice, reputation, public health, and mo rals, are privileges which are happily secured to us by the laws of the realm. It is at once the comfort, the pride, and the boast of the Englishman to know that to the humblest, not less than to the highest, of every class judicial protection is afforded against any infringement of these paramount social advantages and during the present year, when we expect such a mighty influx of strangers from all parts of the world, great as their eagerness may be to wit ness the Exhibition itself, it is more than probable that the foreigner will return to his native soil far more impressed with the combined view of our political and social liberty than with any other subject to which his mind may be attracted. The extensive realization, and the progressive develop• ment of human freedom and happiness to which we have attained, and upon which we are yearly im proving, will excite the admiration, not unmixed with envy, of the thousands who will so speedily visit our hospitable shores. To what, then, amongst many co-operating causes, are we chiefly indebted for our enviable distinction throughout the universe ? Much of our fame is, doubtles, attributable to the genius and characteristics of the English people. Their inherent love of order, peace, honesty, industry, and skill, have largely contributed to the acquisition of their unrivalled renown ; but its primary cause is mainly traceable to their strict love of justice and unswerving impartiality, and to the extreme jealousy with which they have watched and, at all times, in proportion to the political power they possessed, have sought to enforce the pure administration of justice throughout its several departments. It is to this ex treme and most wholesome vigilance that we owe the inappreciable advantage that the judicial functions are for the most part so admirably discharged in this country. Whenever the English discover a blot, a stain, or even a slight imperfection on the escutcheon of justice they are restless until they have gained its removal. As a race we are fond of broad humour. We enjoy the eccentricities and obfuscated intellects of a Justice SHALLOW on the stage, but put the same character on the magisterial bench, and all humour would speedily vanish from the Englishman's mind, to be supplanted by a feeling of stern indignation. With us the powers of the magistrate are considerable, particularly the wide range that is left to his discre tion. The magistrate it is who first sets in motion the wheels of criminal justice; his functions are of the gravest character. The slightest error on his part may seriously prejudice the interests of the commu nity. From inconsistency of conduct, or mental in firmity, he may ruin beyond redemption the peace and happiness of. a whole family. Through the like causes those whUare alleged or supposed to be the guiltiest may escape with impunity, and those again who should never have been troubled beyond a simple inquiry eaxrpeeneseu,bjaencdtedto sacrifice un ef des y e a rv u e a d ble m t e i n m tal e. Alderman HUMPHERY .I?een possessed o f Hanazdiety, keener faculties, Mrs. SLOANE would have been speedily made amenable to the ends of justice ; and bad Mr. TYRWLTITT evinced ordinary discernment, the superior judges would never have been troubled a nd barefaced calumnies o f with the vamped-up ELIZABETH REED against her late master, Mr. REN• DELL. It is true that Mr. Justice TALFOURD did not is prmit the defendant to leave th e court without h unqualified opinion that his character remained unblemished, an encomium that must have been snore satisfactory to Mr. ItEzDELL than if it had proceeded solely from Mr. Trawurrx, who so indiscreetly suf fered the charge to go to trial, exhibiting as weak an instance of magisterial judgment as was ever displayed within the precincts of a court of justice. The public mind is too familiar with the facts of the case to re quire a recapitulation; but thus much is manifest, that if any magistrate should presume to repeat the cruel farce of sending a similar case before the higher tribunals, the first thin g t h at justice would demand would be the removal of the justice himself; he would become an intolerable incubus. We must keep the tributary streams clear if we desire the broad river of justice to be untainted. Mr. BALLAINTINB, who held the brief for the prose. THE SUN, cutrix - , actually threw it up at the close of her cross. examination, no other facts having been elicited by Mr. CLARRSOIi than those which he was ready, and offered to establish before Mr. TYRWEIITT. The counsel, jury, and judge all approved of Mr. BALIANTINE'S conduct. Numerous similar charges had been pre ferred by the woman against other parties, and had been dismissed. It was impossible to credit the woman's oath, and yet Mr. TYRWHITT laid stress upon her having sworn to the fact. There was medical evidence that an offence had been effected ; but, as Mr. Justice TALFoURD remarked, and as any one of common perception might have easily seen, such evidence " did not by any means point to the prisoner." These magisterial freaks must be put a stop to. It would be well for the magistrates every now and then to dust out the chambers of their intellects. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur contains the following :—" From the 13th inst. the interest on Treasury Bonds shall be fixed as follows :—From three to five months' date, 2* per cent. per annum; from six to eleven months' date, 3* per cent. ; and for those at twelve months' date, at 4i per cent." The Committee appointed in consequence of M. DE REMUSAT'S motion sat yesterday for nearly six hours. The Committee heard explanations from the Minis ters of the Interior and of War. It also examined the proces-verbaux of the Permanent Committee. It is supposed that the report cannot be sent in before Wednesday. The production of the proces-verbaux of the Com mittee of Permanence has covered the Burgraves with ridicule; these documents, which were sealed so carefully by M. Durex, alluded to so mysteriously and so pomponsly by M. CHAMBOLLE, and kept back out of mercy to the Ministry, according to General BEDEAU are found to contain absolutely nothing, to use the words of the Constitutionnel. _ The pet journal of the Orleanists, the organ of the Burgraves the Journal des Debats thus prepares us for the ridiculous result of the labour of M. DE REKUSAT'S Mountain "So much had been said about documents that the public imagination had finished by attributing to them a certain importance. Now this supposed importance was probably founded merely upon the mystery with which they were surrounded, and the precaution that had been used in putting the papers under seal. The mystery over and the seals broken, there will probably rest nothing." Well may the .National ask— . " Well, what will come out of these proceedings? What will result from this Parliamentary Commission, which the journals of the Elysee call a Committee of Public Safety ? There will just come nothing at all. But if the procis-verbaus divulge no real plots, there are an infinite number of sham plots, propounded both by Burgraves and Bonapartists. The great Burgrave plot for the restoration of Orleanism is thus brought to light by the Legitimatist Union : " The political world has been for the last two days much occupied with an article which has just appeared in the Independance of Brussels. This article, or rather this correspondence, addressed from Paris to the Brus sels paper, contains very serious revelations, and such as are of a nature to cause disquiet in the public mind. It is not our purpose to discuss these denunciations, or even now to seek for the origin of them; to ask who guided the pen and who suggested to the correspondent of the lndipendance this charge of a friend of the Elysee against the National Assembly. In presence of the great trial which is going on before the country our good faith makes it a duty for us to abstain and to wait. As this document is of a nature serious enough to find its place in the discussion which is about to open we have considered it right to publish the tenor of it. After tracing out a rapid history of the days which followed the prorogation of the Assembly; after having shown parties in competition in the Committee, the correspondent of the hidipendance brings between them the person of General Changarnier. Enveloped in clouds, wrapped up in mystery, like a new Proteus, M. Changarnier, according to the account of this corre spondent, confines himself to flattering alternately Legi timatists and Orleanists, giving to each contradictory hopes. To the latter he said, am a bird, look at my wings;' to the former, lam a mouse, vivent les rats ! ' It is through these preparations that the author of the letter in the Indipendanee leads us step by step to the revelation, not only of an intrigue, but cf a fine Or leacist conspiracy, in which are involved M. Thiers, M. Dupiu, and others under the protection it of the sword o f General Changarnier, aspiring, as is said, to become mayor of the Palace of the Duchess of Orleans. We shall now allow the correspondent himself to explain the plan of the conspiracy which he denounces to Europe:—' Before all things, it is necessary to make public opinion distrustful of the President, by ca lumniating his intentions, misrepresenting his acts, sow ing divisions, producing agitations, and alarming the masses. Two pretexts have admirably served the jour nals of the Permanent committee to arrive at this result, to which it is known they laboured with a zeal and an ardour worthy of a better cause. These pretexts are, on the one hand, the Societe du Dix Decembre, and, on the other hand, the reviews of Satory. The Neumayer incident has made so mach noise that it is superfluous to return to the details of that affair. It is known that on that occasion General Changarnier is reported to have said in a moment of violence that the President must be got rid of—that it was time for him to be t tken to Vincennes. Might not these words, which I only can attribute to a momentary burst of excitement, have been spoken before some members of the Go vernment? On the other hand, the Permanent Com mittee took care to draw up the minutes of its sittings, in view of the events which were preparing in the shade. This event not taking place they hastened to hide them from the public by placing them under seals. If the plan of some exclusive Orleanists had been carried out to the end the day following the arrest of the President, these same minutes, which had been shut up with such mystery, would have been published in the Moniteur as a justification of the revolutionary measure decreed by the Permanent Committee, signed by M. Dupiu, and executed by the Commandant-in-Chief of the Army of Paris. Was it not, in fact, thus that the parts were distributed ? Was not the Permanent Com mittee, oa the faith of the projects falsely attributed to the President, to declare the Assembly and the Constitution in danger, to publish the minutes of its sittings, sad decree the downtal of Louis Napoleon? Was not M. Dupin to sign the order investing General Chargarnier with full powers to secure the execution of the decrees of the Assembly? Did not M. Dupin for several dais carry the order about him? Did he not show it to several influential men? These are the new questions which are addressed to him. Such is what is affirmed, and what I repeat under every reserve. The order being signed, M. Dupin, more prudent in action than in speech, would not deliver it. It was then that, in order to make him pass the Rubicon, the conspiracy of the Rue des Saussaies was got up, a plot invented for the sole purpose of obtaining !tom his alarm what could not be obtained from his zeal. M. Dupin believed in the plot, but he retained the order in his pocket. If be has sinned it was only in intention. Let the coun try judge him lightly ! The execution of this order had been fixed for the sth November at the latest, for the Assembly was to meet on the 11th, and it was necessary that on arriving it should find itself in presence of faits aceomplis, which it would only have to sanction under the pressure of the ,army of Paris, commanded by General Changarnier. He would immediately after have demanded its dissolution, in such a way as a man makes a demand with 100,000 soldiers at his back. The end may be divined. Under the pressure of a dicta torial power manifestations would have been easily got up in favour of the Regency of the Duchess of Orleans, and, but for the hesitation of M. Dupin, the Republicans of the Left and the Legitimatists would have been reduced to renounce, the former the Republic, and the latter Legitimacy, and to again conspire, no longer against the President, but against the Regent, having on her right M. Thiers as President cf the Council of Ministers, and on her lefs M. Chan gamier as generalissimo of the land forces. These facts are too serious for me to dare to guarantee them en tirely; but, if they are inexact—which I hope they are —their publication will furnish the men incriminated an opportunity of contradicting them.' In reproducing the above, we have had only one object in view, that of placing under the eyes of the reader a serious document, which, according to all appearance, will figure in the great dis pute now pending between the Parliament and the Exe cutive power. Some persons have regarded this article in the light of an indictment, and really it has the ap pearance of it. Let us now wait for the indictment on the other side!" On the other land, the Burgraves declare that the demonstration of 29th January, 1849, which was de. Glared to be against the Republicans, was, in fact, to prevent Louis NAPOLEON from proclaiming himself E in peror, and that it is out of revenge for his services to the Republic on that day that CHANGARNIER is dismissed. The following is the explanation of the mystery of the 29th January, 1849, now propounded by the friends of General CUANGARNIER. According to the story told, General CIIANGARNIER was sent for that morn ing to the palace of the Elysee, and had an interview with the PRESIDENT of the Republic. On that occa sion Louis NAPOLEON represented to the General that the election of the 10th of December, in dyna w spi h xa ich he rtmisitll i h th h a eo a d n ths b a Fod e e f rb n e een r el ce e nhc t bud op r re n r sno e , p o d w se s er de showednaPos t r e Ern s i rme d ap e pnu n ecb t reloi b rct y ,ao nib n . sne e ear ; st a ea n d d o t f h b a e t in i g f proposed as President, the result would have been the same. He insisted that all France wished for proposedthe m u re-establishment o f bothto General arm army co and" f the A,s GA , E R m r Nationalp, E i Empire ; whoGanuudatt osrwhd NAPOLEON t:ti therefore pacut oi mie ee. a should p t e u r r o n r out.a.and d h i o s a t r r r o y o p h s m l .proclai mrtbw ith of the Tuileries. As a reward for thi s great serv i ce he was to receive an annual pension of a million of francs, the rank of Constable of France, and th e p a l ate of the Elysee as his residence. The proposition was a staggering one and General CHAN GAUNIRR hesitated. H e reminded Louis N APOLEON that, in order to carry out such a revolution effectually, it was necessary to have the concurrence and suppo r t of his Cabinet ; and he suggested n th ia a t t r. that, before they compro mised themselves, the pRBSIDEN T should get the sanct ion of the Ali yln the motiutime the troops were to be called 4- z. 4 ~ c.;;•-i,j 2 4, 71, :e : . , ).,,. , 4 le-.0,.... . .:.,,. f r , 3,, 3,... „ ....._,... „, ....t ~,... ~. ....„,,.., ..., ....4,...., ....,.f.,.. 0 '''''''' •A r 0.1 ~, DI 1.., r , , 'to 4 ' " • 0 - 1 ' 4 -' . % . t; ,. -'"i* , - 4 i... , "' LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY ,14, 1851. out. The COuncil of Ministers happening at the mo ment to be sitting at the Elyse?, Louis NAPOLEON at once proposed the Van to the Ministers present. The reception given to this extraordinary proposition is not stated ; but it is stated that M. PASSY at once rose, and stated that V another word were said upon the subject he would at once leave the room. This gave courage to the other Ministers, and the projected was repudiated. All that is further known is that on that day the troops filled the streets ; that Louis NAPOLEON sallied out from the Elysee at mid-day, in the full uniform of a general of the National Guard, surrounded by his newly-appointed aides-de.. camp ; that he greatly astonished the Parisians by riding along the Boulevards in that gear at so un timely an hour ; that no mot d'ordre was given to the troops to cry " Vive l'Empereur !" or vice any thing else ; and that Louis NAPOLEON rode back safe and sound as President of the Republic to the Elysee, instead of installing himself, as he expected, as Emperor at the Tuileries. The affair having turned out a coup manqui, the story of the Repub lican conspiracy was got up, and though laughed at even at the time, has been kept up ever since. We believe that on both sides there has been a vast amount of intrigue, but no direct conspiracy —save, indeed, a conspiracy in which the leaders of the re actionary party of all shades were joined together to procure, by suborned and perjured testimony, and by packed juries and packed courts, the conviction of Republicans for sham conspiracies concocted by the prosecutors. All these things will, no doubt, now come to light, when we sincerely hope that "justice will be done." The Republicans of all shades have met, and have determined on a united line of action. The following semi-official account of this meeting appears in all the journals of the Left:— " A meeting of the members of the Left took place to day at Lemardelay's, in the Rue Richelieu, to consider what steps that portion of the Legislative Assembly ought to take at the present conjuncture. This course was decided on on Saturday at a meeting held in the first Bureau, at which were present—MM. Grevy, Emile de Girardin, Cremieux, Victor Hugo, Jules Favre, Mathieu (de la Drome), Charras, Michel (de Bourges), Pascal Duprat, Joly, Dupont (de Bussac), and Scheel cher. At the meeting at Lemardelay's 160 representa tives were present, and after three hours' deliberation, it was determined that unity of action was impera tively called for ou the part of the opposition, and a committee was named, first, to regulate the mode of for the future convoking the members; and next, in all urgent cases, to adopt resolutions to be communicated to the whole opposition for the purpose of effecting a unity of vote. This committee is composed of the following members :—MM. Cremieux, Victor Hugo, Jules Favre, Dupont (de Bussac), Pascal Daprat, Grevy, Charras, Emile de Girardin, Emmanuel Arago, Mathieu (de la Drome), Sehoelcher, Michel (de Bourges), Edgard Quinet, Duc'ux, Joly, Canet."• It is said that General LAHITTE has refused the London Embassy. The PRESIDENT rides out every day, attended only by a groom, and is always well received by the people. General BARAGUAY D'HILLIERS has named as his aides-de-camp Chef-d'escadron DIEU, of General SCHRAMM'S staff, and Captain MoLIN, employed on the works connected with the map of France. The Lyons journals of Saturday state that the Ministerial crisis had caused some disquietude in that city ; and the consequence was that retail shops sold less, commission agents were waiting to see how things would turn before giving orders to manufac turers, and even the receipts of theatres had sustained a nota blel diminution. The announcement in the Moniteur of a reduc tion of one-half per cent. in the interest on Trea sury Bonds produced a considerable effect at the Bourse, and a consequent rise in the price of Govern ment Stock. The Five per Cents. opened at 94f. 80c., and closed at 94f. 95c. The Three per Cents. closed at 571. ; the New Loan at 941. 95c. ; Orleans Railroad Shares, 847 f. 50c.; Rouen, 6751.; Havre, 273 f. 75c. ; Great Northern, 468 f. 75c. ; Avignon, 1851.; Vierzon, 3861. 25c.; Basle, 140 f.; Baurdeaux, 398 f. 75c. ; Paris and Strasburg, 350 f. ; Tours and Nantes, 246:. 25c.

SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 7th have arrived. The Senate of Spain, in the sitting of the 7th, no minated a committee on the Bill on the budget. General PAVIA, with reference to some allusion to him in a previous debate, took occasion to say that he had never belonged to any secret societies, and had never attacked the QUEEN'S Government. General NARVAEZ, having considered_ that Mr. PAVIA had re fleeted on him, called for explanations. General PAVIA made some observations, to which General NARVAEZ deemed it necessary to reply by producing documents to prove that his conduct in 1838, and in the movement in Seville, had always been straightforward and honest. General SElt• RANO then brought forward a proposition on the guarantees to be given to the independence of senators. l'he Government had received satisfactory news from Cuba up to the Bth; confidence and tranquillity were everywhere re-established. Many Americans," says a letter, " who are connected with the conspira tors, make frequent journeys to Cuba; the Govern ment leaves them perfectly free, but causes them to be closely watched. The agents of the conspirators appeared disposed to purchase land and buildings in the islands, in order to be better able to take part in any future movement. MADRID BOLSA, JAN. 7.—Three per Cents. 331 ; Five per Cents., 12i. Exchange on London, 50 65 paper. PORTUGAL. Advices have been received from Lisbon to the 9tb. The Cortes were sitting: there had been no Speech from the Throne. The Minister of Finance's annual report calculated upon a deficit of 813 contos at the end of the pre sent financial year, and that it will be raised to 1,198 contos by the close of 1851-2, notwithstanding the proposed continuance of the dividends spoliation, abatement from state salaries, &c. M. REBELL() CABRAL had been elected President of the Chamber of Deputies, and it was proposed to place . the late Duke of PALAIBLLA'S bust in the House of Peers, where his son had appeared to claim his seat. At Lisbon, exchange on London, at three months, was quoted 54k, but short bills offered freely, and found few takers, in consequence of a good deal of specie in Brazilian dollars being remitted by the Iberia. At Oporto exchange on London was quoted 544 to 55. Money very scarce. The total shipments of wine in 1850 amounted to 39,028 pipes. Business slack, and wine shipment on the decrease. _ _ __ Weather very inclement, so that no vessel could either could get out or comeinto the harbour. There were 26 yes sels lying in the Douro. GERMANY. Accounts from Berlin of the 11th confirm the re port of the resignation by Vox DEE HEYDT of the Ministry of Commerce. He was an ultra Pro tectionist. The following are some of the principal dispositions of the law on the introduction of the income-tax into Prussia : " With the exception of the members of the Royal Family and the two princely familiesof Hohenzollern, all the ianabitants of the Prussian Monarchy, and all Prus sian subjects residing abroad, are subject to the income tax of what they possess, iocudiug the private re sources of the members of tile family who form part of the household, an annual income of more than 1,000 dollars. " The income tax is payable monthly; for the first class, 2 dollars 15 silver groschen; for the second, 3 dollars; far the third, 3 dollars 15 silver groschen; for the fourth, 4 dollars; for the filth, 5 dollars; for the sixth, 6 dollars; for the seventh, eighth, and ninth, 9 dollars; for the tenth, 10 dollars; for the eleventh, 18 dollars; for the twelfth, 25 dollars. The classes rise to thirtyprogressively, when the amount of income-tax is 600 dollars." MANTEUFFEL arrived at Dresden on the 10th, and had an interview with Prince SCHWARTZENBERG. The- Swabian Mercury announces that the Govern ment of Wurtemburg has ordered that elections of a new Assembly of States shall shortly be proceeded to. A letter from Munich states that, owing to the de preciation of gold in England, France, &c., foreign gold pieces are to be taken in that city only at the rate marked down at the Stock Exchange of Frankfort. A telegraphic dispatch from Vienna, of the 9th, announces that the directors of the Bank of Vienna bad resigned en masse. The reason is not stated. A letter from Vienna of the 6th says— " Letters from Fiume inform us that within the last few days very painful conflicts had taken place between the Croat party and the rest of the population. On the Ist the orthodox Croats insulted and dragged dowu the Imperial flag, and replaced it by the Croatian tricolour. To re-establish order General Ouffenberg, the cum mat,der of the district, call , d out the aimed force; but the frontier battalion of the Lieans refused to act against their countrymen. Since the 2d we have learned nothing more on the subject, but " it is probable that tran quillity has been le-established. A permanent military tribunal has been established at Cassel. It consists of an upper tribunal, an under tribunal, and a committee of inquiry. The first is composed of three Austrian and two Bavarian officers. The under tribunal consists of three Bavarian and two Austrian officers, and the Court of Inquiry is composed of. one Bavarian and one Austrian officer. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES, Count REvENrLow—,- who has been appointed Com missioner f or th e Duchies on the part of Denmark, has arrived at Liamburgh. " On the Bth," says the Borsenhalle of Hamburgb,• " the Lieutenancy-General of the Duchies communi cated to the Assembly the propositions made to it by the Federal Commissioners ; they require the submis sion of the Duchies without any condition or guaran tee. This communication of the Lieutenancy is said to have taken place after the refusal of the Left of the Assembly to vote a new tax of one-half per cent. on the revenue; after which the Left retired, and thereby prevented the Assembly from delibe rating." The Independance of Brussels says—" Our private correspondence from Hamburgh, which bears the date of the 10th, says nothing of the above ; but it assures us that, up to the afternoon of the 9th, no thing was terminated, and that the Lieutenancy- General, warirly supported by the Assembly, per sisted in its refusal to obey the summons of the Commissioners. Nevertheless on that day the Lieu tenancy-General went to Itendsburg to confer with M. H. DE GAGERN and General VON DER. TANN, Commander-in-Cbief of the army of the Duchies ; and after this conference the Lieutenancy may have been more disposed to an arrangement. The Federal Commissioners had allowed three days' delay, which were to expire on the 12th, and at the expiration of them they intended to have re course to coercive measures. Our letters add, that if the Federal Commissioners should suc seed in obtaining from the Lieutenancy- General the dismissal of the army, they will consider their mission terminated, as they will reserve the de finite arrangement respecting the organization of the Duchies to the Conferences of Dresden." A tele graphic dispatch of a subsequent date—Kiel, the 11th —announces that in a secret sitting, which lasted till half-past six in the morning, the National Assembly resolved, by 42 votes to 26, to authorise the Lieu tenancy-General to accept the propositions of the Com missioners, under the condition that Rendsburg and Frederickstadt should be occupied by the holstein troops.

The Duputy PARENT said that the navy ought to be reduced, as, from the geographical posi tion of the country, there was no necessity for its pos sessing a large navy, as in some other countries. " The Ministry," he said, "should watch what was going on at Dresden, where Austria would most likely be called to take the Presidency of the Germanic Confederation, and that power had always been the enemy of Piedmont. To balance this the country should seek an alliance with France." The Minister replied, that since Piedmont had acquired Genoa it had become a maritime power, and that so far from the navy being reduced, it was expedient greatly to augment it. M. CAVOURT then announced that the Prince DE CARIGNAN had resigned his post of Com mander of the Navy, considering it to be incom patible with that of commander of the National Guard. The Earl of Cardigan has taken the principal suite of apartments at the Royal Hotel, Lowestoft, for three months. His Lordship purposes receiving several distin guished fashionables during his sojourn there. EXTENSIVE FIRE AT WOOLWICH.-(THIS DAY.)_ This morning a fire broke out in the premises of Mrs. Burch, the Roe Buck Tavern, 43, Church-street, Woolwich. The discovery was made by a police-sergeant of the It division, who, in passing the premises, perceived smoke issuing from the window shutters. At that time the whole of the resi dents were in their beds asleep, but fortunately they suc ceeded in effecting a safe retreat. The engines from her Ma jesty's dockyards, and two belonging to the Royal Artillery. were soon on the spot, but the fire by that time had assumed such a threatening aspect, that it was deemed advisable to send to London for further assistance. The moment the ex press arrived in town Mr. Henderson, the chief officer of the D section of Brigade, and Mr. Connorton, the superintend ent of the West of England Insurance-office, started, each with an engine and powerful bodies of men. By that period the flames were rising so high as to illuminate the country for miles round. Plenty of water having been procured, the firemen, military, and police set to work in a most praise worthy manner, and eventually succeeded in extinguishing the conflagration, but not until the tavern and all it con tained were reduced to ashes, and the premises on either side, belonging to Mr. Harwood, a broker, and Mr. Seer, a grocer, were considerably injured by water. The origin of the fire is unknown. THE LATE ACCIDENT AT CRAMO.ND.—The efforts being made for the recovery of the body of Mrs. Caddell are still fruitless. During last week a lace cuff, the crown of the bonnet, and one or two other small things belonging to the dress which the unfortunate lady wore on the melan choly occasion, were all that could be found to reward the unwearied exertions of those engaged on the seemingly hope less duty. The articles referred to were found floating near the beach, and there is now no doubt that the body must have been carried far out to sea.— Caledonian Mercury. It is generally believed in naval circles that the command of the Mediterranean fleet will be given to Admiral Deans Dundas ; and that the gallant officer will be sue ceeded as first " Sea Lord" of the Admiralty by Admiral Elliott.—Morning Paper. EMIGRATION OF AIORMONITES FROM SHEFFIELD. —On New Year's-day fifteen families departed from Sheffield on their way to the Valley of the Great Salt Lake, the El Dorado of the Mormonite persuasion. They were expected to sail from Liverpool on Saturday last, by the Hoadicea, bound for New Orleans. From thence they proceed up the river as far as Council Bluff, 900 miles north of St. Louis. They will then prepare for the overland journey across the plain to the Salt Lake Valley, a distance of 1,000 miles, which has to be performed in waggons. Their overland journey lies across a tract of country almost entirely destitute of herbage, and many accounts have been received of the suffering of emigrants while crossing it. It is expected that a portion of the emigrants, who are provided with ample means fur the journey, will reach their destination in the month of July or August ; others, possessed of only a limited amount of money, will have to remain at New Orleans or St. Louis till they have accumulated a sufficiency to defray the expense. Besides the families from Sheffield, parties are also going by the same vessel from Rotherham, Maabro', Whiston, &c.—Leeds Mercury. THE LATE FLOOD.—Many and great damages have been done by the late flood. At Askham, the river Lowther rose to such a height that the mill was filled to the depth of six feet before 12 o'clock, P.M. The meal arks and other ma chinery were floated from their places, and jumbled together in contuiion, every one more or les3 injured; the gable next the river was split from top to bottom in many places, and would evidently have fallen had not the enter or water wheel supported it. The cattle and horses in the stalls were just able to keep their heads above the water, and the pigs were swimming in the sties. About half-past one o'clock a wall in front of the dwelling-house, which faces the river, gave way, and the house immediately filled. The poor mil ler and family, consisting of a wife, seven children, and a servant boy, had only time to escape through a back window. They arrived at Mr. Rowland Wilson's, innkeeper, about two o'clock, completely drenched with water. After rendering every assistance in making them comfortable, Mr. Wilson and others, with the miller, returned, in order, if possible, to save the stock. The water had then a little abated, and in a few hours they found that none had perished; yet the da mage done to the poor man is very great ; all the corn and meal he had in the mill is either injured or destroyed, and the mill itself is in such a dilapidated state that it will be long ere its merry clack shall be heard again.--Carlisle Journal. OPENING OF THE STATE APARTMENTS AT WIND SOR. CASTLE.—The state apartments were opened for the first time to the public on Thursday week, since they were closed for the purpose of carrying out the works for warming and ventilation. We have been through the apartments, and so far as we can see there has been very little alteration in the appearance of the rooms. We observe that a handsome pen dant has been made in the centre of the Vandyke room ; this is perforated for the ventilation, and will, when the chande lier is appended to it, be a considerable improvement to the room. There does not seem any other architectural embel lishment that requires notice from us; but in all the rooms there are vomitories for the warm air, and the genial warmth of the rooms, as compared with the chilly damp of the ex ternal atmosphere, speaks forcibly as to the efficiency of the method adopted. We understand that the warming power is sufficient to maintain these rooms at 60 degrees during the most severe weather, thereby rendering them fit for occupa. tion at all times, which was not formerly the case, owing to there being only one fire-place for each room, the influence of which, in ameliorating the temperature in cold weather, could scarcely be felt.— Windsor Express. The death of Sir Henry Claude Loraine, Bart., in the Isle of Man, has led to the elevation of his uncle, Wm. Loraine, Esq , of Newcastle, one of the borough magistrates, to tho baronetcy of that ancient family. The present Baro net being unmarried, the title, in the event of his death, will devolve on his brother, John Lambton Loraine, EN, wh o has a family of several sons and daughters. ROME, JAN. 2.—Yesterday (New Year's-day) Lord Campden, son of the Earl of Gainaborough, and Lady Campden, made a public recantation .from the Protestant faith, and were received into the Roman Catholic Church. Lord and Lady Fielding, who have also lately come over, were present. THE UNITED STATES MAIL STEAM•SHIP OHIO. —The United States mail steam. ship Ohio, from Chagres to New York, left Havannah, en route, on the 18th ult., with 300 passengers, when her first evolution blew out the head of a cylinder and uncoupled the engines. She started again on the 19th, with one engine, and made good headway until the 22d, when she was struck with a heavy gale, broached suddenly to, and, although saved by good seamanship, was heavily strained and damaged, and lay to until the 23d. She then got under way again, but sprung a leak at two o'clock on that morning. The crew were unable to keep the water down, and the fires were extinguished. Ten feet of water was in the hold, all the pumps and passengers ware put in requisition, and bailing .was resorted to, which was con tinued until noon on the 24th, without cessation, until the the t e t water i w a as lowenough r f atNor folk to . T h b e u build u a d r ni p t u fires,re was and a ll they broken,reached three of the iron braces, and the damage was not less than 80,000 dollars. EXHIBITION or 1851.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Grand Duke and Duchess of Mscklenburgh, and the Princess Mary, yesterday visited the building in Hyde-park. They were received and shown over the build ing by Colonel Reid. Mr. Dilke, and Mr. Cole. Mr. Fox also attended to give explanations. LORD PANMURE —We are sorry to state that this nobleman is at present in a very precarious state of health. He has been almost constantly confined to his bed for a week past, and has taken scarcely any sustenance during that period, having sunk into a state of great weakness, and unable to see anv one except his medical attendant. Montrose Standard. LARGE Ox.—An ox, fed by Mr. Alex. Gibson, Over Gogar, and sold by auction in the Edinburgh cattle market, on Wednesday, the 18th ult., and bought by Mr. David Warwick, Rutherglen, after being slaughtered, weighed 105 stone 10 lbs. Dutch, or 132 stone 1 lb. imperial, sinking cffals. There was no ox exhibited at the late great Sm►th field and Midland counties cattle•shows which came within many stones of the above weight, although most of them were from a year to 18 months older. He was allowed to be the finest and largest ox seen in Edinburgh market for many years. His age was three years and seven months, and he WE, sold for 401. 105... Scotsman. Aberdeen • . Do.

MONEY and COAIMEItCI AL NEWS' CITY, TWO O'CLOCK• The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es' timated at 4,000 bales, comprising 2. .500 American, 200 Pernam arid Maranham, at 84d. to Sid. ; 100 Bahia, 14 Std. ; 250 Egyptian,at Sid. to 9id. ; and 600 Surat, 11 ,! sd. to 6d. per lb. The market c l o s e d h e avily, wit h prices in favour of buyers.—Railway Shares were flat. The following is from Schroeder and Masai* dated the 21st ult., from New Orleans : "Our last report, of 7th inst., left the Cotton Market in a ,quiet position, which 'soon after changed into dull and drooping one, owing to unsatisfactory accounts from abroad. But although purchasers made great efforts to buy at lower figures, they succeeded only In obtaining small concessions, and factors maintain ed their position better than could have been expected under the circumstances ; however, the intelligenc e brought out by the steamer of the 30th ult., reporting another decline of id. to id. in the Liverpool market, and warlike news from Germany, proved too much for these, and brought the market to a complete stand still. " The second week opened under the influence of these unsatisfactory accotints, and the dull and unsettled state of the market still more increased by advices of e material declinine in New York, and the receipt at the same time of abundant supplies. The result of these, combined untoward circumst a nces h as b een a decline O f lc. to ic. during the last week, the greatest reduction being on the middling descriptions, which just now a re most abundant. But even at this material decline there is no general demand, and buyers appear inclined to bola off until later accounts have been received. The busines s of the week, therefore, does not amount to over 18, 200 bales, mostly taken for Spain, the continent of Europ e, and the North. Buyers for England have operated to but a limited extent. " The news by the steam e r o f th e 7 t h i ns t., now du e by telegraph, is anxiously looked for, and it is believed that the tenor of the same will have a gr ea t influence , e ° our market. Should the account s b e aga i n unfavourable , prices are likely to decline still furth er; w hilst on th e other hand, they will probably rally, if the present er prehensions for disturbances in Germany should pr°! groundless. The general es ti ma t es o f th e cro p s run frew 2,100,000 to 2,200,000 bales. "Prices of Coffee have experienced a slight ativeo es since our last, and the demand for the West being rel animated, large sales hav e be en ma d e a t 10i c ., at whl e rate importers are re a dy se ll ers . F or sma ll r acep , 101 c. is obtained. The direct imports during the for two weeks are the following, v i z : 3,960 s acks, P i t Donna Theteza, 4,700 do. p e r G re y E ag l e , 5,650; P e ; Maryland, and 3,650 per Sumatr a , t oge ther 1 7 . 9 , 6 . sacks. Although the receipts have been much hotel" than last year, and the stock on sale is ample, the g ene ' ral opinion remains in favour of the article. " Nothing of importance has transpired in the tobecF°_ market during the last fortnight, th ere a ppearing to it no orders which could be exe c uted a t our present big' scale of prices. The transactions are, consequently, " a moderate extent, and limited to the purchases of re# fused,' made for the Spani s h contract. Very low fused' and factory lugs are being sought after for tw purpose, at prices ranging from 7c. to Bc. " Of new crop tobacco ten hhds. have lately coin° t ° hand, being the first receipts this season, which is usually late in comparison with other years. The qu a : lity of this new tobacco is very indifferent, the leaf bele* thin and papery, and of undecided colour."

In Railroad Shares the dealings have been of no ign" portance, and there have been changes dependent mote upon the particular course of speculation in differen t lines, than upon any general alteration. North-Westerls are good, Great Western better, and also South-Easterei Oxford, and Wolverhampton heavy, Great-Northeto rather depressed, York and Berwick higher, C d ledonisq dull, and Newmarket cheaper. Eastern Counties and _ North-Stafford are heavy. Foreign Railways are • little firmer, and East Indian have risen. The "continuation" on shares is by no me ans so, one rous as on former occasions, showing that a safer Oa quieter business is doing, with less speculation.
