CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR, But although he comes in snow, hd still hopes to meet with a warm receptionbut where is he going ? Why, to pay his yearly visit to the Spirit of John Rich, in the GHOSTLY CITY OY DEPARTED FUN. This city is composed of the Tombs of the by-gone Pantomimes— " Who's dat knocking at der door?"—Come and see —" J. Andersen's my Joe, John," and " I am Rich," that's mere than every one can sap ; we with they could—How to make a Pantomime ?—" that is the question"—but the answer, it is hoped, will be satisfactory— Poor Tra-ge-dy meets with no clemency, so we fly by night" to A SPLENDID HALL IN THE PALACE OF GOOD QUEEN BESS. We now corae-to Historical Facts, therefore, as tke Clown at Astley's would sal, " Let us be serious." It is an historical fact, that the Earl of Essex loved, or pretended so, Good Queen Bess, therefore he hated the Earl of Leicester, and thence arose a conspi racy—Sir Walter Raleigh fears his pipe will be put out—Bacon gets quite in a frizzle, and Lord Burleigh shakes his head—bat there's nothing in that, whatever they may say to the contrary. It is an historical fact, that Good Queen Bess was assisted at her toilet by many of her noblemen, therefore the GRAND PROCESSION OF THE TOILETTE is introduced, in which the Royal Wig! the Royal Ruiz! ! the Royal Blushes ! ! ! and the Royai Petticoat ! ! ! ! will make their first appearance en any stage, and trust to the " usual indulgence of a Britisk Public." These are followed by GOOD QUEEN BESS en deshabille, as she is represented in a picture at Hampton Court. —What comes next will certainly follow—and then vrillbe seen GOOD QUEEN BESS in all her royal splendour.—lt is an Historical Fact, that Good Queen Bess, like " Young Susan"—" had lovers so many that she scarcely knew upon which to decide"—and it is an Historical Fact that the following were a few of them. THE REJECTED ONES : Philip of Spain, Prince Rupert, Prince of Sweden, Duke of Anjoa, Prince Alengon, Marquis of Winchester, the King of Sweden, ?Reny of Navarre, Archduke Charles, Earl of Arundel, Sir William Pickering, Charles Blount, and the Earl of Arran. Good Queen Bess appoints a meeting of these " wonderous proper men" at Kenilworth, bat declares, that ox her way, " A hunting she will go" --and having got on the " High Horse," the story gallops on to CUMNOLI HALL BY MOONLIGUT—WiIson. "Coming events cast their shadows before "—" Rest thee, may darling "x-Ketchy, ketchy, kct. - thy—"Put eat the light, and then "—enter the Earl of Leicester on his way to Kenil worth—He steps at Love's half-way home, the Robsar Arms—" Oh, Susanna," or rather " Oh, Amy !"—lt can't be said, " he makes no bones about it "—They part, " more in sorrow, than in anger," but, " being gone,,Amy is herself again "—that is to say, a rather jealous young lady, who in her " deep despair," introduces her Lovely Babby, to whom she sings the following Pathetic stanza : " Come my babby, come along with me We'll go to far-famed Kenilworth, Your naughty dad to see." And so tkey do. KENILWORTH CASTLE As it appe i ved on the occasion of Good Queen Bess's Royal Visit. For further particulars inquire of Sir Walter Scott. It is an histori cal fact that Good Queen Bess paid the Earl of Leicester a visit, and " paid the piper." This, his gorgeous fete, half ruined him ; there fore we pity his fate, but must admirl his wondrous generosity, for all he ever hoped for in return was—half-a-crown. The Earl fore stalls Shakspere, by discovering " that the course of true love never did rut smooth," for here he meets with some twenty " sompeti tears," and to him they do come " petit ours," for they prove per fect beld% or, more properly speaking, bores.

Amore has pronounced Russia to be one of the poorest, if not the poorest, country in that continent of which he has rendered himself the historian. Nevertheless we are continually stunned with panegyrics on the incalculable riches of the AUTOCRAT : the apologists of absolutism are perpetu ally reviving certain old wives' tales about the hoards of gold coin and bullion secreted in the cellars of the imperial palace at St. Petersburgb. Were we to credit the assertions of those, who in England, have taken upon themselves the task of advocating the cause of despotism, we should most assuredly labour under the delusion that the gorges of the Ural mountains are as thickly covered with a gravel of precious stones as the valley of diamonds where SINBAD was conveyed by the roc. So prodigious, indeed, is the wealth of the Czast, reputed to be, that he is invariably regarded as the last stay of every bankrupt Government in Christendom. No sooner is the •rand Duke of TUSCANY aware of the emptiness of his treasury, than the organs of Euro pean absolutism declared that his Imperial Majesty the EMPEROR of all the Russias is about to save him from insolvency by a beneficent lean of half a mil lion. Simultaneously the exchequer of the Sovereign PONTIFF is found to ba as empty as the box of Pandora, without even retaining the shadowy ghost of hope at the bottom ; and thereupon the same vera cious quidnuncs asseverate that the Lord of Moscow and St. Petersburgb, the descendant of the dynasty of ROUMANOFF is about to infuse new vitality into the exhausted authority of the Pontificate by a sponta neous supply of no less than 500,0001. sterling. Every occasion during the last half-century has been seized as an opportunity for magnifying the amount of the national coffers of Russia, and for enlarging upon their monetary repletion. Yet, when this gigantic boast has resounded in its most sonorous accents, suddenly we are startled by the intelligence that the billionaire of Christendom has come a-beg ging to the money-lenders of England. Never bas any declaration proved to be a more stupendous sham. Not even Sir EPICURE MAMMON, when indulg ing in his day-dreams of more than oriental magni ficence, while the crucible on the alchemic furnace simmered amidst nothing but dross and ashes--ap peared in a more contemptible plight than the AU TOCRAT now vaunting of the magnitude of his pos sessions, and almost in the same breath revealing, by his appeal for assistance, the depth and urgency of his destitution. Every one familiar with the stories recounted in the shape of " Arabian Nights' Enter tainments" by the lips of the Vizier's daughter, the Sultana SCHEHERAZADE, will understand our mean ing when we say that the noise made by the ap proach of this demand for a Russian loan is marvel lously like the sound of the smashing of the porter's basket of crockery kicked over by the foot of the v; %inn ory R,Eicr-o Udall-0 Hero lo tho woad thiest potentate in Europe, the vaults of whose palace are crammed with ingots, whose hills are ribbed with gold, and seamed with silver, and powdered with jewels, whose sceptre is little else than a cornucopia running over with riches into the laps of the less fortunate princes of Europe—coming to the banking houses of London for a loan of 5,500,000/. ! And the demand, moreover, is made upon a pretence as shame-faced as it is transparent ! The completion of a railway that may be said already to have been completed—the prosecution of a work of public uti lity already on the eve of its final achievement. Thank GOD—if there are men with cupidity, and without conscience in England—there are also men of heart and discernment. The magnificent meeting convened yesterday in the London Tavern is a noble attestation that the people of this country are not dead to the sentiments of humanity, even when those sen timents are inimical to the seductions of pecuniary speculation. In more particulars than one that majestic assemblage was a pendant to the gatherings made during the last year by those who sympathised in the cause of Hungarian independence. The enthusiasm evinced by the auditors of those who breathed from the platform the stirring language of indignation was a sequel to the ardour betrayed on all those occasions when the British orator responded in tones of admi ration to the war cries and the battle-songs of the patriotic Magyars. Although, unhappily, the meet ing of yesterday occurred too late to prevent the com pletion of a loan loathsome to every generous heart in these islands, the intelligence of its convocation, of the speeches delivered by the principal personages present, and of the spontaneous enthusiasm with which those speeches were applauded, cannot fail to exercise a beneficent influence, not only here, but elsewhere To ourselves it is, in truth, a matter of profound ex ultation that the language of abhorrence should have been so audibly articulated against those despicable persons who would improve their fortunes by taking part in a transaction of so dark anti detestable a character. For the loan recently negotiated by the BARING Brothers is nothing less than a transaction of a most dark and detestable character, seeing that it is in reality a loan for the payment of expenses in curred by the AUTOCRAT in one cf the most atroci ous wars ever adventured upon in this or any pre ceding generation. Even the organs of absolutism, as we shall show elsewhere in this evening's impres sion, are found to acknowledge that while ostensibly borrowing these five millions and a half for the pur pose of effecting the completion of the railway between Moscow and St. Petersburg+, the Rus sian AUTOCRAT is actually doing so with the intention of applying those moneys to the payment of the troops lately dispatched on the damnable errand of Hungarian devastation. Every coin, therefore, cf this enormous loan is dripping with the heart's blood of the Magyars—the money is as much blood-money as the thirty pieces of silver paid for the purchase of Acaldama ! And those who participate in furnishing these supplies to the imperial master of the woman flogger PASKEWITCII are virtually implicated in all the horrors perpetrated in the unfortunate countries bordering the Draave and the Danube—they share with the savage Cossacks of NICHOLAS the infamy of those fiendish crimes, the mere rumour of which filled the whole of Western Europe with consternation—the scourging of females, the massacre of children, the human battues of Arad, and the permanent gallows of Presburg, the military assassinations at Pesth, and the public murders in the squares of Buda, the destruction of so many splendid cities, and the butchery of so many ill us trious heroes. On their heads will descend a portion of those execrations which have followed upon the dismal execu tions of Amnia and BATTLIYANY. They will share _ in the detestation of Christendom fur the shedding of that blood which cries aloud to heaven for vengeance—the blood of a nation whose men have been strangled upon the thresholds of their homes, whose women have been scourged upon their hearths, and whose children have been stricken down within the imaginary shel ter of their sanctuaries. When at length the hour of expiation has arrived—that hour which is not the less inevitable because it may, perchance, appear procrastinated— these abettors of northern despotism may find cause to curse the fatuity of their avarice, and to rue that lust of gain which renders them insensible to the qualms of conscience and to the holier in stincts of humanity. Whatever may be their ulte rior remorse, this much at least is certain, that the people of England can never lose a recollection of their proceedings, and that the hand of fellowship must henceforth be denied to the abettors of a blood stained absolutism, the accomplices of an organized assassination, and the aiders of that sinister despot, whose reign throughout has been reddened with murder and branded with infamy, from the death of ALEXANDER to the calamities befalling the nuns of Minsk, from the seizure of Wallachia to the devas tation of Hungary. In our preceding article we have alluded to the magnificent demonstration which was yesterday ex hibited at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, deprecating the proposed loan to the Autocrat of RUSSIA, which has just been contracted for by British capitalists of high standing and respectability in the money market. We have pointed out the more than doubtful morality of the transac tion, and, we trust, have succeeded in show ing that it should be repudiated by every man possessed of an honourable and feeling heart — who is not so wholly devoted to the worship of Mammon as to have his conscience utterly seared and callous to every consideration save that of gain —who is not utterly indifferent to the purposes to which the money he is about to advance may be applied, and who would shudder at being considered a participator in the nefarious projects which, to say the least of it, are imputed to the CZAR. But the Stock Exchange has proverbially no conscience, and although the great majority of the British nation may avoid the pollution and degradation that would be inseparable from any connexion with the ,` accursed thing," sufficient may be obtained to enable the EMPEROR to chuckle over the folly of John Bull, in placing the sinews of war in the hands of his most formidable opponent, and depriving him self of the power of neutralizing the machinations of the despot. We shall, therefore, consider the subject in another point of view, and show its 'probable re sults as a mere matter of pounds, shilling!, and pence. The first question that naturally arises on this portion of the case is—What are the reasonable pros pects, of reimbursement provided for the holders of the new stock;? Hitherto the Russian Government has unquestionably maintained a fair position in the money market. It has not as yet repudiated any of its public liabilities, and if it came forward in a bona fide and straightforward manner, its application would be entitled to a fa vourable consideration. But the entire trans action is based upon fraud. The money is at tempted to be raised under " false pretences," such as would justly subject a private individual to a prolonged seclusion, and salutary exercise on— what has been facetiously termed " the gyratory reformer of morals"—the tread-mill. If a merchant or trader, however high his standing or his fancied solvency, comes forward with a palpable false hood, a vile, sneaking, contemptible lie in his mouth, he will be shunned alike by money dealers and mer chants. His position may apparently be very good, no flaw can be detected in his proposals, but there must be some latent radical defect, or why descend to sub terfuges to obtain that which he could command if all were straightforward and bona fide, and could bear a close and searching investigation ? Now the AUTOCRAT has degraded himself by such a falsehood, and what is perhaps still worse in the opinion of those who, although " they may not scruple to tell a lie, yet have their consciences materially hurt by being found out"--an easily detected false hood. In his Imperial ukase, signed by the EMPEROR in person, he says, "To meet the expenses required for the completion of the railroad from St. Petersburgh to Mos cow, we have judged proper to contract a further foreign loan, which we order to be opened by sub scription, to the extent of 5,500,000/. sterling, on the following conditions," &c., &c. Now, it is perfectly notorious that the railway above referred to is already all but completed, and that a very small sum only could be required for the purpose. Mr. COBDEN himself had ocular demonstration of the fact. He spoke as an eye-witness, when he declared that he was at St. Vetersburgh two years ago, and at that time the rolling stock of that railway was all finished—a hundred locomotives were ready. " I travelled by one of them on a part of the line. Thousands of waggons and carriages were ready ." But,Jest the testimony of the Honourable Gentleman may be objected to, we will quote the evidence of one who cannot be accused of any hostility to the contemplated loan, who has even come forward- as the most strenuous advocate of the transaction. In the Money article of the Times of Tuesday last, when speaking of the loan, it says— " The investment is still further recommended by the allegation that the money is wanting for a work of inter nal improvement. At the same time this allegation must ba received with some allowance, since it is under ,t)od that the railway in question has long been nearly finished; that the iron and rolling stock are on the ground; and that little remains but to lay down the railg. So that it would appear probable that the under taking is in a great measure used as a pretext in order to obtain the suppli es for exigencies which have resulted from the late war. This is the deliberate opinion of the great organ of the bullionists and what is styled the " money in terest." It will therefore be received with respect, and regarded as an oracle by the magnates of the Stock Exchange. How can they then, in the face of such an admission, advance their money when it is palpable that the entire affair from its very incep tion is tainted by fraud, and that there must be " something rotten in the state of (not Denmark), but Russia." There is another point that should not be lost sight of by those who are about to connect them selves with the affair. It cannot be forgotten that by the ukase of the 31st March, 1847, the AUTOCRAT directed the investment of 30,000,000 of silver roubles, equivalent to the sum of 4,600,0001. sterling, in foreign securities, in addition to the sum of 2,000,0001. sterling previously invested in the purchase of French Rentes. The greater portion of this large sum came to this country, and was lodged in Three per Cent. Consols, and it is notorious that it still remains at the disposal of the EMPEROR in the British funds. Now, if there be no secret design to injure the power of this country, why should NICHOLAS, whom no person can accuse of want of sharpness in money matters, desire to lend at three per cent. and to keep out an enormous sum of money which could be realised at any moment, at so small a rate of interest, while he is actually borrowing from his debtor at the rate of 51. ls. per cent.? or, in other words, submitting to a loss of two per cent., or 110,0001. per annum for nothing ? Is it not clear as light, palpable to the most superficial observer, that his object must either be to cheat the lenders, and refuse the liquidation of his liabilities on any future occasion, whenever they may become peculiarly onerous, or that he meditates some deep stroke of po licy, some coup d'etat, the opportunity for which would be cheaply purchased by the loss of some hundreds of thousands pounds sterling? Can his unjust ag gression on Turkey already be forgotten ? Can his haughty and impertinent demand for the extradition of the gallant fugitives, who sought that refuge amongst Mahometans which was denied in Christen dom, be already wrapped in oblivion ? or the pro found indignation which he exhibited at the manly and honourable interference of the " 'Western Power ? " No. The Czan has not aban • doned his designs on the Moslem's terri tory. He still looks forward to the time when the Russian Eagle shall float above the Crescent in the " City of the Sultan," and when England must remain in inglorious and dishonourable qui escence to witness the destruction of her ancient ally, and the aggrandisement of the Leviathan of the North. Russian diplomatists are but too well aware of the blighting effect of our monetary code ; the bankruptcy and ruin brought upon myriads by the withdrawal of a few millions of gold from the coffers of the Bank of England is well known to the wily NICHOLAS. Accord ing to the evidence of the Governor and Deputy- Governor of the Bank of England, Wore the Com mittee " appointed to inquire into the causes of the late commercial distress," the crisis was occasioned by the abstraction of 7,500,0001. from the bullion held by the Bank, and the consequent diminution in notes to that extent, and the withdrawal of probably not less than 1,500,0001. from other sources.

The misery and suffering, the want of employment and destitution, the general depreciation in the value of every descrip tion of property, was occasioned by the exportation of 9,000,0001., and yet we are actually placing a larger sum at the disposal of NICHOLAS—of the im perial despot—the mortal enemy of Great Britain, to be taken away at any moment he pleases. He first borrows 5,500,0001, and when that sum is paid up, and ready for transfer, he may sell his 4,600,000/.; and although Consols may go down to 80, he will not have made a bad bargain, when he has neutralised the British force and pa ralyzed the right arm of England. What will then avail the capitalists who are reduced. to the verge of bankruptcy and ruin by a panic in the money market, that they gained a nominal profit of one or two per cent. on the Russian loan when every other description of property in their possession is depreciated to the extent of 20 or 30 per cent. by the exportation of precious metals to the extent of TEN MILLIONS or POUNDS STERLING ? Then, indeed, they will deplore their fatuity and short-sightedness, and execrate the day when they were tempted to defile themselves by meddling with the accursed thing. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Socialists have announced a banquet fur the 21st January, the anniversary of the execution of Louis XVI. The Moderate Republicans intend having a banquet and have adopted as its pro grammeo n the 22the February,programme of the banquet of 22d Fe bruary, 1848, over which M. ODILON BARROT was to . have presided, and for interdicting which MM. Onmor . and LEON FAUCHER presented an act of impeachment against MM. GUIZOT and DUCHATEL. Colonel CHARRAS, a member of the Assembly, and Minister of War under the Provisional Government, has undertaken to organize the February banquet. The debate on the Education Bill was resumed on Thursday by M. DE MONTALEMBERT, whose speech in favour of the Bill is acknowledged to have been a failure even by his friends. The Constitutionnel admits that he was not as eloquent as usual, and that he did not command as much attention as be generally does. The debate was then adjourned. At Beaucaire the Legitimatists have been acting as though the palmy days of TRESTAILLON had returned. They held a grand banquet on the festival of the Kings, at which they toasted the health and restore tion of lieranY V., exhibited the bust of the God given eldest son of the Dachesse DE BERRI, with a crown on his head, sang seditious songs, and announced their intention of having a procession a la Roden. The people outside were much excited, and threatened to take vengeance on the Legitimatists; whereupon M. ESTELLE, a respectable inhabitant of the place, accompanied by a few friends, waited on the Legiti matists to urge them, for the sake of the public peace, to abstain from thus exciting the anger of the people. They immediately fell upon M. ESTELLE and his friends, and stabbed them in several places, and M. ESTELLE, who was unarmed, lies at present in a very dangerous state. The people immediately burst into the hotel, expelled the Legitimatists, and destroyed the bust of the pretender. A. most audacious attempt to rob the Bank of France was made on Thursday afternoon, about 1 o'clock. A number of individuals, some dressed as labourers and others having the appearance of gentle men, entered the cash-office, and made a rush at the piles of gold and silver. Quickly as the attack was made, an alarm was raised, and the guard arrived. Three of the robbers were arrested and conveyed to the Prefecture of Police. The Moniteur publishes a decree, signed by the PRESIDENT of the Republic, appointing a Board of Admiralty, to be composed of Vice-Admirals HUGON, DE LASU3SB 7 CASY ; M.

GERMANY. The Austrian Constitution for the crown land of Carniola appears in the Weiner Zeitung of the 13th. HAYNAU has suppressed the Magyar journal, the Figzelmezo, heretofore published at Pesth. The reason he gives for this arbitrary measure is, that this journal " had for some time made a point of sowing the seeds of disquiet by the publication of inflammatory and malicious articles, which, by casting suspicion upon the intentions of Ministers, were cal culated to neutralise the benefioial effects arising from the so recently restored peace." The Civil Council of Cracow having commanded the imprisonment of several Jews for opening shops in that city, has been reprimanded by the Govern ment, which has nullified their decree, and ordered the immediate liberation of the prisoners. The Poles of Posen have determined not to take any part in the election of Deputies to the Parliament at Erfurth. A.dvices from llamburgh of the 14th state that the Elbe is completely frozen over. HOLLAND. TILE HAGUE, JAN. 1 6.—The Stoats Courant of yes terday publishes the 119th section of the Bth chapter of the fundamental law, which fixes the budget of the department of the Marine for 1850 at 5,323,600 florins, The same journal of this day publishes the budget of the Minister of Justice for 1850, amounting to 2,305,979 florins. The thermometer at nine o'clock this morning was 131; twelve o'clock, IA ; at three o'clock, 161 Fahrenheit. The correct state of the thermometer last night was 11 deg. RUSSIA. From a report presented to the EMPEROR by the Minister of the Interior, for the year 1848, it ap pears that the total number of Russian subjects be longing to foreign communities amount to 8,785,719 individuals of both sexes, more than half of that number, viz., 4,911,449, profess the Christian reli gion, and the 3,874,260 are Mahometans, Jews, or idolators. The number of Roman Catholics is 276,764, with 2,264 churches; that of the Armenian Catholics 20,000, with 44 churchrs ; Gregorian Ar menian, 354,521, with 1,017 churches or chapels. The Protestant religion numbers 1,732,299 indivi duals, 900 churches ; the Mahometans comprehend 2,286,983 individuals, with 6,084 mosques.

CREMORNE GARDENS. There seems to exist fatality against the prosperity of caterers for the out-door amusements of the public. The proprietors of Vaux• hall, Cretnorne, and the Flora Tea Gardens have one after the other graced the London Gazette. In the in stance of Cremorne House deficiency of patronage is not alleged as the cause of Mr. Ellis, the proprietor's, insol vency or failure, but rather may be attributed to a too flattering demonstration of its support. Ellis was led by the great influx of visitors to an outlay for their amusement and accommodation far too lavish and beyond his naf ans. The refusal of a licence for music to the Adelaide Gallery closed suddenly the resources pre viously at his command for meeting his engagements, and the result was bankruptcy.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at from 8,000 t 9,000 bales, of which nearly one-third were taken on speculation. The market was firm and more active.—ln Railway Shares a good busi ness wad done at advanced prices.. The important changes in the Bank of England weekly account to the 12th inst. are all more or less referable to the dividend and other quarterly paymert , , and it is consequently difficult to estimate the influence of any other causes that might have been in operation. The bullion decreased, and the circulation was greatly extended, while the loans made upon other securities were repaid to a considerable extent. The public de posits were drawn upon heavily, and the bankers and others were enabled to add materially to their priva•e balances. Compared with the previous week the return exhibits the following changes:— Notes Issu( d Decrease ... 30,075,685 .., 191,790 Rest ... 3,198,821 Increase ... 62,984 Public Deposits ... 5,974,800 Decrease 4,584,691 Other Deposits ... ... 11,241,118 Increase ... 1,505,850 Seven Day and other Bills ... 1,156 409 Increase ••• ... ... 71,240 Government Securities ... 14,296,554 Decrease •.• ... ... 79,127 Other Securities ... 10,099,051 Decrease ... 1,591,975 Notes ... 10,990,185 Decrease . . 1,020,790 Bullion 16,814,043 Decrease ... 206,437 Active Circulation ... 19,085,500 Increase ... 829,000 The Foreign Exchanges were quoted yesterday after noon for 90 days' bills as follows:—Paris 26 60 to 65, Antwerp 25 62i to 65, Amsterdam 12 2, Hareburgh 13 104 to 1 lf, Frankfort 121-i f, and Trieste 11 19 to 22. A public meeting of the holders of Mexican Bonds has been convened for, Wednesday next, to take into consideration the expediency of forming a new corn mittee expressly devoted to the interests of this class ( f creditors, to adopt some plan for the payment of Mr. W. Parish Robertson's expenses, and for the obtainment of the remaining ins alment of one fourth due upon the dividend. Ia order, we presume, to put the bond holders in full possession of the real state of the case as between Messrs. Schneider and the Mexican Govern ment, the correspondence lately sent to the committee is now published, and from this we gather that the Finance Minister at Mrxico miscalculates the amount of the debt, that the late agents charge upon the remittances, certain sums paid to Mr. Murphy and Mr. O'Brien by official order, and that upon this showing they still require over 10,3001. to meet the remands. It is probable that the amount paid to the members of the Legation was not included when Messrs. Schneider, some months since, intimated that they only wanted between 6,0001. and 7,0001. to make up the divi dend, and, if so, charging the bondholders therewith is evidently an after-thought. Unquestionably the Mex ican Government ought at once, from its separate funds, to discharge this just and trivial liability, but we still contend that this is no affair of the creditors, and if Messrs. Schneider were to retain the agency, and the whole of the remittances were paid into the Bank of England, as they state they would be quite willing should be the case, it is obvious that no legation expenses would be paid therefrom. The matter is now coming to a crisis, however, and we are heartily glad of it, for the bondholders by co-operation, by energetic remonstrance, by the able assistance of Mr. Robertson, and by the formation cf an active working committee, may speedily raise to a fairer standard the value and public es timation of their investment. Messrs. Schneider deny the right of the Government to take away the agency: they may dispute the justice, but the right who can doubt ? The amount of bullion exported from London direct during the week to Thursday last was 22,000 ounces of silver and 25,000 ounces of gold, all to Belgium and France. The letters received this morning from the manufac turing districts are favourable, acd a rise in fabrics is expected to meet the advance in the staple. The English Funds have rallied considerably this morning, but there is not much doing. Consols have bean 96} to 97 for Transfer, and 961 to 978 for Ac count, being now 968 to 97.

(Before the Lord Chi e f J us ti ce WILDE, -I" r iVia o: ALDERSON, Mr. Justice ERLE, Mr. Justice NAN, and Mr. Justice CRESSWELL. 0 1. THE QUEEN V. BOND. OOP g, This was an indictment against Benjami n eo reig lj g , Bond, for stealing 70 sovereigns, 140 ball-010g; 280 crowns, 400 half -Browns, 400 florins, 400 Cure and 400 sixpences from hi s e m pl o y ers , Mess rs ' ettsble the bankers. The prisoner was 5 tri ed in Messes. Currie's bank, and wei , the 213th ef November last, at the Central jaw ° , Court, before Mr. Baron Alderson and 7 0 ;;; Cresswell, when he was found guilty of stee raj :con e ," l o vereigns. It appeared that all the moneys 03 ,! -- e l eidt' h c t the indictment had been missed, but from t r e e ,: e ri te, given at the trial, it could only be strictly inlt o s, I s t he had on a certain day abstra , tAl 70 severe'b' ar tice: ( l there was no proof that he had taken any taeil coin or coins. The prisoner was twice renit t ed on one of those occasions when a further rer,"was ;" e d asked for, he said he did not want one, as '" tr aP g i' intention to plead guilty, and the prosecutioeihe O n r e s this admission, which was taken down by e vid e as strate, and inserted in the depositions, tiThhjee' l l against him ; but the C o u nse l f or th e defenc e " t i f .4o l o . on the ground that before it w as ma de the 11111 0 1 f o ge t h did not address to the priso ne r the e s 'a Ih9 tion, as required by the 11th ° hi ed jo Vic. The statement was, however, re e f - h o Mr. Justice Cresswell, and in sumn3il36,,Der ho Mr. told the jury that if they were satisfied the Pr' ; ',"was " o lcl stolen some money from the bank, although O ;J' proved he bad taken any particular piece, theioce find him guilty; and a verdict to that effect we 3 to ingly returned. , 41 , 0 , fel 0' Mr. PARRY was now heard in support cr .7. - t he - , ° ,4 reverse the verdict. There were two points w r to tee i g - n ti sideration of the Court; first, whether the , e- p a; made by the prisoner was properly rec e ` v iOry A rte secondly, whether the direction given to t he ,"feil e ; or correct. He contended that the evidence, as '" o etc",ell show that any particular coin had been abstrc stolen, did not sustain an indictment for le rcen de ‘ setli article stolen must with certainty be, dist_ ac p"jel and specified in th e i n di c t men t, *Wh a m Or n se proved and identifi e d b y t h e ev id enc e. pr" g os' of goods or property ought to P o , Ord as laid, but in the p resent ' case it welod bibs Bible for the 7prisoner t o k now w h e ther be - 0 0 ., 0 0 found guilty of stealing gold, silver, or coPP e ,, r ;ceet he other point, he argued that the prisoner's sta te- c l, not admissable, because he had not been vre r ". - o yth'i o t, usual caution that he was not obliged to sel orit but what he did say would be taken down in bp t A and used against him at his trial. tAade ado 00 Mr. HIIDDLESTONE, on the other side, cep" - hi r ' the coefesssion, statement, or admission, re - fore vibe' &oiler, at any time during his examination b : e ., vibe' ip gistrate, was receivable as evidence against hi : r iseue r ,: o 0 he had been cautioned first or not. Th e r t her , "Di§ the present case,. first admitted his guilt, ae",, e d bi a d subsequent examination, when he was attend solicitor, he repudiated what he had previe usii •One) dori og asserted his innocence ; and he (Mr. Sudd prehended, if a man charged with murder nieclajoilt his examination, an interlocutory o b se rvatier.h or tirig o of his guilt, the magistrate was justified fin l le cti e , of upon the depositions. He thought that th e we 0. the Learned Judge was correct, for if the P i a' be 0 1 4 0 0 opinion that some money le as stolen, it w ' o well r cient to have proof of the taking, and not as of the pat f wascularc hoinesartad in ken.
