THE SECESSION Os' 'ME REV. M BENNETT.— The Bishop of London has appointed the b ß e . t l h lon. and Rev. Robert Liddell, the vicar of Barking, t o successor of Mr. Bennett at St. Barnabas. An interval is e t elapse be fore Mr. Bennett legally resigns, and Mr. Liddell as le a gally ap pointed. The vicar of Barking is well known er son of Sir Thomas Liddell, whom George IV. created Lord Ra , vensworth. He married a daughter of Dr. Wellesley, rector of Bishop Wearmouth,and was in 1836 presented 13y the College of All Souls, Oxford, to the living which he will now vacate. THR RET. JOHN BURNETT.—We are informed that the Rev. John Burnett has not, as stated " had an attack of paralysis," nor is he " lying in a very pr ecarious Mate." Mr. Burnett delivered a lecture on Monday even ing, the 30th inst., at Hawkestone-hall, and when near his own residence, on his return home, he felt giddy and fell , a nd w as removed hom e b y two gentlemen acquainted with him , who were passing at th e ti me . On the following d a y Mr. Burnett fulfilled the engagements he had previously made, and, in his accustomed state of health, has since been occu pieduring with the his usual avocation s on t h e Sabbath-day as well as d . CALLINGTON MINES COMPANY.—A general meet • ing of this company took place yesterday at Salvador House, Bishopsgate-street ; Mr. Richard Hodgson in the chair. The reports of Captain Lean 'and HIS. Jetnson were read. It was stated that the mines were likely to be thrown into an efficient state of working by the s i n ki ng a diagonal shaft, and continuing the 112 fathom level for communicating the north with the south mine. The Kelly pray lode was com posed of mundic of a most beautiful quality, an d a yellow du eight tons of the latter p er f athom from co pper ore pro the top of the rise. fhe directors report stated that since last meeting they had changed the management, an d h ad appointed Captain Lean as manager. The works o f a ll the mines were being prosecuted with considerable vigour, and indicated mach more favourable prospects both on the lead lode and on the Kelly Bray copper lode. The receipts ford the last three months had amounted to 3,0251. 19s.. efi . ciency of 1 an Id., tha expend i ture to 5 : 4681. 4s. 5d., d being a 2,442/. 5.3. 4d.

SAmn RE AND MEUSE RAILWay.—We have autho rity to state that the directors of the Sambre and Meuse Railway Comp any have settled the i r l ong -pending dispute ewith:their contractors, thereby relieving the company from many vcxations claims and ca' sea of litigation. This set tlemea, was absolutely necessary to the company continuing its works. SAVINGs' BANK.—The trustees of this hank/which, owiag to the defaults of the late actuary, has beviso long closeu l have resolved to pay every depositor 6eth principal and interest i n full, which they are enabled to do from the very liberal.•subscriptions which have keen made for that purpose. Tne business of the bank, which will re-open on the Ist of March, will henceforth be carried on in the national school-room, and in such manner as effec tually to prevent another disaster such a 3 that from which it is now recovering.-11faidstone Journal. !i.tr tllintt 4 4titL LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1851. The anticipated surplus of two or two-and-a-half millions sterling, which it is supposed that the Chan cellor of the Exchequer will have at his disposal for the relief of the tax-paying community, has excited an extraordinary sensation among all classes of her MAJESTY'S subjects. There is scarcely an individual throughout the entire country who cannot expatiate on the injustice and in:spiky of the impost by which he is himself peculiarly affected—who is not prepared to prove that particular tax to be about the worst that could be devised, and to adduce cogent reasons for its abolition. He is also prepared to press the principal claims of the body to which he belongs, and to which he believes all others must yield. The taxes on light, cleanliness, and knowledge, are ex posed in all their naked enormity. The hop growers justly complain of the partial and oppressive law that imposes an enormous duty on the produce of their lands. Hops can only be grown on soil of a certain description, and the land from which such a crop can ' be obtained would be of extraordinary value, and would provide constant employment for the labouring population of the neighbour hood, were it not for the inequitable tax, that can no more be justified or defended than an exclusive tax on the property of the Duke of SETH- EiILAND or the Duke of BUCCLEUGH. It is, in fact, nothing more or less than " CONFISCATION," the principle being simply this, that because land from its peculiar quality may be rendered much more profit able than other descriptions, the additional value is to be taken from the owners and transferred to the national Exchequer, and that in the most oppressive manner, so that the bounties of PROTIDENCE are neu tralised, and the most propitious seasons, so far as the quantity and quality of the crop is concerned, are rendered the least remunerative to the victims. The coachmakers, too, are enabled to offer unanswer able arguments against the tax on carriages, which is not, as erroneously supposed, a charge on luxuries, but one limiting to a most injurious extent the em ployment of artisans and workmen ; for, as it was most truly asserted at a recent meeting of the trade, " instead of being a tax suited to a gentle man's establishment, the gentleman suited his establishment to the tax." Parties who would otherwise keep several vehicles suited for every sea son, are deterred from doing so in consequence of the tax, and thus the demand for the article is materially curtailed. The job-masters are also naturally in dignant at the charge, whereby they are compelled to pay 6/. 12s. per annum for a carriage which may not have been in use half-a-dozen times within that period, and also at the post-horse duty, which is practically a tax on intercourse, and both so materi ally increase the price of the accomodation as to ope rate as a practical prohibition in many cases, and greatly reduce the demand in all. The injury in. flicted on this business by the extension of the railway system eminently entitles the sufferers to re lief from the burdens which they could previously have borne without any great exertion. The rail way passengers tax is equally indefensible, being a most unwarrantable and unjustifiable burden on a depressed and suffering interest, amounting, in many instances, to about '2O per cent. on the dividends ac tually paid to the unguaranteed and non-preferential shareholders ; so that those who should be regarded as national benefactors are se lected as victims to be fleeced in every possible manner and under the most frivolous pre texts. The charge cannot for a moment be assimi lated to turnpike tolls ; even that poor defence is wanting, for no portion of the proceeds is applicable to the purpose of keeping the roads in repair ; if it were, we venture to assert that the complaints of the defrauded shareholders would not be so loud or deep But why should we go through the monster list ? Why advert to the tax on men servants, or, in other words, a charge calculated to limit the employment of the people, and to consign many to the tender mer cies of the union workhouse, who could otherwise earn their daily bread by their daily labour ? Why notice the " premiums on imprudence," the stamps on fire and marine assurance policies ? It would be impos sible to make even the most cursory allusion to the various fiscal grievances under which the " most heavily taxed people under the sun" are suffering within the limits necessarily assigned to an article in a public journal : suffice it to say, that they are deeply and bitterly felt, and that there is a general demand for redress. But whence is relief to be obtained? How can it be afforded so long as the Minister of Finance is determined not to travel out of the beaten track, or enter upon a more judicious and more equitable course ? While the parties are exhausting their energies in endeavouring to obtain some concession to themselves, they are like the children described by Locze, who are " pulling a short coverlet" to obtain some degree of warmth at the expense of their brethren. Some must " starve unless the father of the family provide better, and enlarge the scanty covering." Now we desire this " covering" to be materially increased, so that all who can show a just claim may be comprehended within its folds. This can only be achieved by a general union and organization among the sufferers for the adoption of such a scheme as that just promulgated by the Honourable Member for Glasgow, and to which we alluded in our publication yesterday. " Union is strength," and it is by union alone, by the cordial co-operation of all parties interested, that anything practical can be accomplished. Mr. MAC GREGOB, has told us that he does not " expect any early rev i s i on in the taxation and expenditure of the approaching to that which h e h as country " suggested in the singularly ;abbluet which has the in believing th at " t h e pre- HonjouusrtagbilveenGetonttlheme an opinions of the whole pe o pl e are veiling and growing Jar mor e f avoura ble to such financial and fiscal re forms than the public sentiment was in favour of re pealing the corn and navigation laws, when he gave his testimony in favour of the free-trade measures carried out by the late Sir ROBERT PEEL, and against the navigation-laws, repealed by the present Govern ment. We know, however, the means by which these enactments were carried. Why should not similar means now be adopted ? Why should not a Taxpayers' League be formed under the presidency of the in telligent, the honest, the consiltent Jour.; MACGREGOR ? If this course be adopted the days of the present iniquitous system will be numbered, and prosperity and happiness restored to those whose energies are paralysed by the incubi by which they are op pressed. Among the many phiknthropic societies w'lich are at once the distinguishing characteristic, the boast, and the glory of this our native island, there is none which is less obtrusive or more worthy of support than the Royal National Institution for the Yreaer• vation of Life from Shipwreck ; most appropriately is this institution named national, for an institution for the preservation of life from shipwreck appeals more peculiarly than perhaps any other to the national sympathies of the island people who have for cen turies held the empire of the ocean, and who owe all their greatness as a nation to the maintenance of that maritime supremacy, which has been won and can only be maintained by the patriotic exertions and the fearless braving of " the perils of the deep" by those hardy men, to save whose lives from shipwreck is peculiarly the object of this excellent institution. Founded in the year 1824, the object of this institu tion was declared to be the preservation of—without distinction of country, in war and in peace—all who may be in peril of the seas by shipwreck on any part of the coasts of the United Kingdom or the British Isles. In order to carry out this object the Committee, to whom the executive management of the society has been confided, have, after twenty-six years experi ence, come to the conclusion that the system chiefly to be relied on is the following : " 1. The establishment of life-boats and other ap proved apparatus for saving lives from shipwreck, on the most dangerous parts of the coasts, under the charge of the officers of the Coast Guard and other responsible parties. " 2. The incitement to exertion of seafaring persons and others refiding on the spot, by pecuniary rewards for such services, and robe being afforded to their widows and families, in the event of any accident hap pening to them; dependent of course on the nature of the oase, and the state of the funds of the institution. "3. The conferring honorary rewards of gold and silver medals as an acknowledgment of efforts made in saving the lives of shipwrecked crews or others. " 4. Special consideration given to cases of extraordi nary enterprise and exertion; as also to cases in which individuals may have more than once succeeded in saving lives, or may have incurred some bodily injury." The institution has established nineteen different life-boat stations on various portions of the coast, and has frequently contributed to various life-boats estab lished on other parts of the coast by private parties ; they have also stationed the rocket apparatus and MANBY'S mortar apparatus on various parts of the coast, at a cost of nearly 5,500/. ; they have awarded numerous gold medallions and silver medals to persons whose humane and laudable exertions in saving lives from shipwreck have been deemed sufficiently conspicuous to merit that dis tinction, and they have voted considerable sums as donations to boots' crews and to the widows and or phans of those noble fellows who are occasionally lost by accident, in the praiseworthy attempt to pre serve lives in peril from shipwreck. In consequence of the exertions of this society, 7,072 lives have been preserved from shipwreck between the Ist January, 1824, and the 31st December, 1850, and the total out lay of the society has been 13,6831. Since 1839 the in stitution has made no appeal to the public ; but now, in consequence of the deaths of many of its early friends and supporter:, its funds are become inadequate to meet the demands made upon them, and its career of use fulness will be interrupted unless the public come to the rescue. In our advertising columns will be found the appeal of the committee to the public for assistance—an appeal that we feel convinced will be responded to in such a manner as to render this institution "national" in every sense of the word. ? 4 f4 tc v 4 0 • 11, 1.• TEE SUN, LONDON, THUR,SDA V+ EVENING, JANUARY 30, 1861.

To any of our friends who may happen to be liable to a visitation of the " blue devils," we strenuously re commend a visit to this delightful temple of amuse ment on an evening when the pantomime is preceded by The Prisoner of War and The Loan of a Lover, and if the performances of the Keeleys do not scatter the azure fiends to flight, the case must be indeed in curable. The snake-up and the acting of this eminent pair of comedians are not to be described ; we shall only say that it is long since we have seen any mor ceau of broad comedy equal to Mrs. Keeley's acting in the letter-reading scene in the former piece ; and never anything richer than Keeley's Peter Spyk in the latter. The pantomime has lost none of its at tractions. The incomparable Flexmore continues nightly to exhilarate the lieges with unwaning prowess, and Carmack and his fascinating companion in the dance lose not a leaf of their well-won laurels. A. vacant bench in the house is a thing unknown under the present management ; nor is any amount of success, however overflowing, unmerited by the heads of so admirably conducted an establishment as the Princess's, since it has passed into the hands (would it were permanently so) of Mr. Charles Kean and Mr. Keeley. THE APPREHENSION OF MRS SLOANE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Srn,--I am sure no man who reads your paper will deny that, in assisting, by your enlightened and sagacious pen, towards the discovery of tin recreant Mrs. Sloane, you have acted right well and played the best part. Your stirring articles could not but be followed by earnest and vigourous action on the part of the Government and parochial authorities, as the guardians of the poor ♦ictim, Jane Wilbred. You predicted Mrs. Sloane's whereabouts with the intelligent eye of a prophet, and her apprehension with equal acuteness and confidence. If you receive not the thanks, as doubtlessly you will, of the public generally, yet you have those of A KNIGHT TEMPLAR. Pimlico, Jan. 29. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

EXTRAORDINARY DARING FEAT.—Yesterday, at half-past eleven A M., a dive was made from the top of the centre arch of Westminster-bridge, by the celebrated youth ful diver John Stevens; the dive was a height of sixty feet, and the diver, fully dressed, after reaching the water, im mediately reappeared upon the surface, and then disap peared, swimming a great distance under the water. The experiment was watched by the police and bridge-officers, and others, and was highly applauded. It is understood that this is the first of a series of experiments illustrative of the best modes of diving and swimming, to be adopted as a means of saving life from accidents by water, which will take place daily at high tide. Alas. SLOANE IN NEWGATE.—Dr. M'Murdo visited Mrs. Sloane shortly after her arrival at Newgate, and directed she should remain at the infirmary, as she was suffering much from exhaustion, produced partly by mental feeling. Yesterday morning on his visiting her he found her in the same state, and directed some soothing stimulants to be administered, and also stated that she ought to remain in the infirmary. From the time of Mrs. Sloane's apprehension but little conversation took place between her and Mr. Hodgson on the subject of the charge upon which she had been appre hended; and on her removal to .Newgate and since she has studiously avoided any remark, or referred to the girl in any way whatever. It is understood she was yesterday morning visited by the solicitors of Mr. Sloane, and there appears no doubt, now that she is apprehended and in custody, he will surrender, and jointly take their trial at the next session, which commences on Monday next. Never suffer yourself to be worried about trifles; think how insignificant such: matters will appear a twelve • month hence.—Eliza Cook's Journal. SOCIETY OF FRIENDS OF FOREIGNERS IN DIS- T,RESS. —Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the board of directors and other supporters of the above benevolent insti tution, established in 1806, for the relief of all distressed foreigners domiciled in this country, of whatever nation or religion, was held at the Institution in the Finsbury Cham bers, London-wall. The report of the Society's proceedings was satisfactory. The last annual statement showed there had been 81 pensioners, at ss. per week. Regular allowances to 80 aged persons, in various sums. Extra allowances to 75 persons. Casual relief and articles of clothing amounting to 8021. 175., and passage -money for 128 persons returning to their native countries. for lEoss el x t h awn e hao electiondhea s i: d .delivered rs e o cid f u a a t loi d fi i et r hd e c e t 0 Arl scrutineers,itns i the e o , o'clock Yesterday a ballot was taken at the East India werel Haasey 1 closed 17c w mk h o t that the election had fallen on William Dent, Esq. VICTIMS OF RUSSIAN TYRANNY.—It may be re ' membered that some time ago some Circassian chiefs e , caped from Russia into Prussia, and that they resisted the Prussian soldiers who were sent to arrest them, and wounded and killed several. A few days ago they were brought to trial before the Court of Assizes of Bromberg, on the charge of having violently resisted the armed force, and having committed murder. When the j ud ge asked them if they were guilty or not, they answered, " We do not know if we are guilty or not, because we d 0 not know your laws." Th e tart of the charge, an d jury convicted them on the fir, p ac quitted them on the latter. They were condemned to two years' imprisonment The judge told them that there was nothing dishonourable in the condemnation, and that they would be treated with all the respect due to their rank. They answered, " We should prefer a condemnation to death here to a pardon is Russia. . We have received he Paris journals of yesterday. They all acknowledge that the defeat of the Bur graves on Monday vas complete. The Univers says " The National Assembly has shrunk from a nasty conflict ; it has done well." The Assemblee Nationale, the organ of the Burgraves, is compelled to admit that in its opinion the National Assembly on Mon day carried its moderation a little too far"—a very gingerly mode of s:ating that the Burgraves shrunk from the combat which the Executive had offered them. The Ordre says thtt " the Assembly has shown itself tolerant, and this, perhaps, was a wise policy," from which we gather that M. ODILON BARROT subscribes to FALSTAFF'S opinion, " that the better part of valour is di*cretior ;" while the Republique regards the sitting of Monday as the surrender at discretion of the Burgraves. " The Elysee," says this journal, " never could htve expected so great a success. CHANGARNIER and the Burgraves are definitely in terred ; the chiefs of the Parliamentary Right can no longer dictate conditions, they will not even be ad mitted to negotiate. They will obey, and if it were needed M. BONAPIRTE would find among them very supple chamberlains." The Committee of Initiative met on Tuesday to consider the motion of which M. NOEL PARFAIT had given notice on the subject of the so-called extraordinary missions which the PRESIDENT of the Republic had confided to the representatives of the people. The Committee unanimously decided to re commend the Assembly to take the proposition of M. NOEL PARFAIT into consideration. The miracle of the bleeding picture at St. Saturnin, the disbelievers in which were anathematised i❑ the Univers as children of SATAN, turns out to be a mere piece of trickery; the commission appointed by the Archbishop of AVIGNON to examine into the matter has reported tha: it is not a true miracle. The Minister of the Interior has directed that copies of the last mess3ge of the PRESIDENT shall be pla carded in all the communes of France. It is said that M. ROMIEU will be appointed to a mission in Syria. NARVAEZ will, it is said, be the new Spanish Mi nister in Pak. M. DE ST. BEUVE, an important member of the majority, has presented a series of propositions. The first, favourable to free trade, demands the suppres sion of all export duties, and a reduction on the existing duty on iron of one-fifth during four years, so that in the fifth year there would remain a fixed duty of lf. The second is, that all foreign bottoms should be placed on the footing of French vessels. The third is free trade with the colonies. The fourth is relative to the establishment of a tax upon moveable property. The last demands the abolition of a Ministry of Commerce, and that its attributes should be annexed to those of the Ministry of the Interior. The Bonne was firm, with little business doing. The Five per Cents. opened at 96f. 40c., rose to 96f. 50e., and clwed at 96r . . 20e.; the Three per Cents. closLd at 571. 80c.; the New Loan at 96f.

GERMAN Y. The following is the ?article on the sal ject of English passports from the Prussian Ministerial journal the Reform, the appearance of which we mentioned yesterday !-- " According to the passport laws of Prussia, foreigners are only permitted to enter Prussia either with passports from their Government authorities, or from there tf Prussia (in foreign countries). In consideration, how ever, of the heavy charges on passports in England, which can only be delivered by the Foreign-office, ex ceptions have hitherto been much in favour of the British subjects who have been enabled to enter the Prussian dominions with passports of foreign (that is neither English nor Prussian) legations and consulates. This favour has, however, led to such numerous abuses, that the original regulations must be enforced in regard to English traveil, rs." The Augaburgh Gazette has the following on the subject of the Dresden Conferences : It is expected that the majority of the representa tives of the lesser States will offer a warm opposition to the proposed modification of the restricted council (engeren Baths), in which they are altogether to have only three votes, provided that the first commission brings its proposition in that form before the plenum which has been hitherto expected according to the agree ment between the two great Powers. It is worthy of mention that there are well-informed persons who be lieve in the possibility of a provisional executive dualism, which will function until the conferences have finished the work that is before them. I presume that such an institution, -if really under considera tion, could only enter into activity if dis turbances in France necessitated this simplifica tion of the directing power. It is a fact that this even tuality was seriously considered between Prince Schwar zenberg and Baron Manteutrel at their last interview in Dresden, and the necessary measures discussed. The re action of such an eventuality, especially in Western Germany, was represented, and this consideration was not without influence upon the military measures that have been adopted iu Holstein." The Netherlands and Denmark have already pro tested against the proposed modifications of the re stricted Council, and it is expected that Baden and the Hansa Towns will at once follow their example. Accounts from Vienna of the 26th announce that the EMPRESS.MOTHER was suffering from an attack of erysipelas. Several arrests have taken place in Vienna of persons accused of being concerned in one of those convenient plots which the police can at any time discover. All the arrested are.persons pos sessed of considerable property, who can afford to pay well to escape imprisonment ; and, recollecting the financial wants of Austria, and the profitable use to which the Imperial Government put the rich Hun garians, we have our doubts as to the real cause of these arrests. The Communists are not the only persons who organize robbery. The official papers in Vienna announce that the Scheme for the political and administrative organiza tion of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom is imme diately forthcoming. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Hamburgh Borsenhall of the 25th says : " Count Von bponneck had an interview with Prince Schwartzenburg on his arrival in Vienna, in which, in the name 01 his Sovereign the King cf Denmark, he catagurically demanded the dissolution of the Scblf•swig- Holstein As.senably, the occupation of Rendsburg and Frieclrichsort by the Danes alone, and the pacification of Holstein also by the Danes alone. Count Spout - leek would assuredly nut have used such language bad he not been certain of the support of the foreig❑ Powers; in deed the reception which he met with at Vienna from the representatives of Russia arid France was generally noticed. Both these diplomatists gave grand fetes in his honour. "It is positively asserted that the two German com missioners will undertake the government of the duchy of Holstein by themselves on the 28th. They will be joined by Messrs. Heintz and Prehn, as Ministers of the Interior and Finance. Mr. Malmros is spoken of as Minister of Justice. The commissioners have not yet come to a clear understanding with Denmark." SWEDEN. STOCKHOLM, JAN. 20. According to official returns received by the Minister of the Interior from the civil provincial governors, it appears that the total population of the kingdom of Sweden is now 3,533,000 individuals—viz., 1,842,200 males, and 1,690,800 females. According to the census taken in 1846, the population of Sweden was at that time 3,316,902 individuals ; consequently, during these last five years there has been au increase of 216,298, being 6 per cent., or 1 and 1-15 per 100 annually.— Prussian Staats Anzeiger, Jan. 27.

THE ENSUING SESSION OF PARLIAMENT.-At the commencement of the ensuing session on Tuesday next the statute passed in June last, entitled An Act for shortening the Language used in Acts of Parliament," will take effect. It is expected that considerable improvements will be made in future Acts, both in the phraseology and in the omission of clauses which have hitherto appeared in such things. Acts are to be divided into sections without any introduc tory words. Where any Act is referred to, it will be suffi cient to recite the year of the reign, chapter, and section. In future Acts, certain words which now appear in interpre tation clauses, importing the masculine gender, are to include females, and the plural the singular , &c. Repealed Act s are not to be revised in virtue of the repeal of the repealing sta tute. Repealed provisions of any Act are to remain in force until the substituted provisions come into force. All Acts are to be deemed public Acts unless the contrary is declared, This Act (13 Victoria, cap. 21) is to commence and take effect from and immediately after the commencement of the next session of Parliament. There are eight short sections in the new Act. The Duke of Newcastle, with the youthful Earl of Lincoln and other branches of the family, remain in seclu sion for the present at Clumber Park. The Marquis and Marchioness of Breadalbane are expected to arrive at Breadalbane House on Saturday, from Taymouth Castle. - - ' - ' • The Marquis of Tweeddale has taken the mansicm of Earl Delawarr, in Upper Grosvenor-street, where his Lordship's family have arrived from Leamington Spa. Lord and Lady John Russell had a dinner party yesterday evening at their residence in Chesham-place. The company consisted of Baron de Brunnow, the Rus - ,ian Mi nister, and the Baroness de Brunnow ; Count Schimmelpen ninck, the Netherlands Minister, and Mademoiselle Salm mellierunck ; Senor Isiuritz, the Sp,Li-1 2.linister ; Marquis d'Azeglio, the Sardinian Minister; the.Attornev- General and Lady Romilly ; Mr. Arthur Russell, and air.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 3,500 bales, comprising 2,500 American, 200 P‘rnam and Maranhatn, at Bd. to Sid.; 100 Egyptian, at 84d. to B"t , i.; and 500 Surat, at sd. to 54d. per lb. The market was heavy, and prices were *d. lower than on Friday last.—ln Railway Shares a good business was done at higher rates. The following are extracts from a communication, dated New Orleans the 4th inst., and forwarded by Messrs. Schroeder and Manning: -- " In our last, of 21st ult.. we alluded to the anxiously looked for intelligence by the steamer of the 7th De cember, upon the tenor of which, it was believed, the course of prices for Cotton would in a great measure depend. When the news at last, after an unusual delay, was received, and proved to be of a favourable charac ter, the position of our market at once became changed —buyers came forward with much spirit, and the de mand became active and general, resulting in a busi ness of 20,200 bales during the week, at gradually stif fening prices. " The inquiry has been equally brisk during all last week, and in spite of sundry impediments in the way of business, such as holidays, rainy weather, and declining exchanges, the transactions have amounted to 32,000 bales, prices have steadily improved, and are to day ic. higher than a week ago. The advance would probably have been greater but for the difficulty in making ex change negotiations, by which many buyers were pre vented from operating. " The receipts of Cotton have lately materially fallen off in quality, and much inferior and high-coloured Cotton is now being received; the latter, being such Cotton as has been caught by the frost, has generally the redeeming quality of an excellent staple. Estimates of the crop, 2,100,000 to 2,200,000 bales. '.We are without any transactions of consequence to notice in the Tobacco Market, as few buyers seem disposed to come forward at the rates which have re ct,ntly been current, while at the same time holders maintain a fair degree of firmness. In this position of the market, quotations are of course nominal, and we have to wait until a renewal of business shall exhibit wore definitively the position of the market. Whilst the transactions have been very limited as regards the better qualities of Tobacco, the lower grades are still being sought after by the buyer for Spain, who is made to pay from 74e. to 8) 1 c. fur Refuted,' according to quality. " Of new Tobacco some small lots have been re ceived, but the quality of all is decidedly poor; the leaf is light, and of rather a wild growth, and without a de cided character. The estimates of the crop range from 55 to 60,000 hhds. "Owing to the favourable accounts from Rio, and also from the East, the demand has been good, and holders have succeeded in establishing an advance upon all qualities of to during the pant week. The transac tions have been considerable at 10f to 101 c., the latter rate being now the prevailing olae for good new Coffee. The imports during the last fortnight consist of 15,427 bags." Some of the continental mails have not arrived in due course, owing to the boisterous vreather. The holders of Spanish Stock have been discussing with evident complacency the salutary taste of English law which was given yesterday to her Catholic Ma jesty's Government by the decision in the Lord Mayor's Court. The case was lucidly rep orted in last evening's Sun, but the bearings of it may be appropriately con sidered here. Certain creditors of Spain, sick at heart from the apathetic and disgractriul violation of public faith by Spain, determined upon the attempt to wrest a fraction of her enormous revenue from her. Accord ingly they attached monies, lying, we believe, at Messrs. Stone, Martin, and Stone's, the bankers, for the purpose of meeting :the dividends on the Three per Cents., the only security upon which Spain has attempted to pay for many y ears. The bonds held by the claimants proceeding in this case are those of 1834, issued by the Queen Reg e tit in the name of her daughter, and the proceeds tend ed powerfully to con solidate the throne. Nevertheless„ 18 years have elapsed, and the foreign creditor has beeso suffered to lament and pine, the possessor, as far as he come is concerned, of mere waste paper, although the: revenue of Spain has been annually increasing to a re markable amount, and honestly applied, would suffice to meet every demand in full. With corrupt, supine, ambiti cue, or military rulers, however, it could not be expected that the voice of distant claimants would be much heeded., Hence remonstrance after remonstrance, condemnation and exposure, appeals and expressions of hope or confidence, have all alike been vainly employed by the unlucky creditors. No country has so studiously disreg•i irded the maintenance of public credit. Its own offspring in the new world have one by one evinced an earns st desire to take a more elevated position among natims. Chili ranks with European states of the first osier; Mexico under the most difficult circumstances has is dmitted her obligations, and strenuously endeavoured to fulfil them. Peru has appropriated its richest produ ot; Venenuela and the minor states have made arrangere vents ; and Buenos:Ayres, under a Dictator evinces a sense o 1 returning compunction. Spain up to this hour has paid not a sixpence on the capital of its debt. It simply smarts under the infliction of some 300,0001. per annum a a interest upon interest. So much for evasion and accum,ulation. Still there are parties sanguine enough to con c hide that the time is come when we may hope for be t ter things. Lord How den is supporting the good :cause at Madrid. Mr. Weisweller, Rothschild's agent t here, is attending to the business details, the committee i n London are prepared to take the sense of their co-1► ondholders the moment the plan of M. Bertran de Lis, the new Finance Minis ter, is announced, and there i i a show of energy and purpose on all hands that engin., I well. In the meantime, as before remarked, certain mon oys here.belonging to the Spanish Government have 1) een attached under a law that gives peculiar pi . ivileges to the City, and the Honourable the Record a r holds the attachment to be good. This may lead to a decision, or at least to a discussion, on the merits of the: case, and although at tachments by a little contrivance, are easy to avoid, and the bondholders may ne►er hate the chance again, no harm will have been done by the demonstration or by the official declaration that the to reditors had a just right to make the attempt. The art's talon of the world can not too often be drawn to the f iict that Spain can pay, but will not. The holders of United Me Lxican Mine Shares are hopeful of the future, and obviously very desirous that the vi orking of the new lodes should have a fair chance, and not be stinted for want of is moderate application of capital. Accordingly they rosi ited, by a large majority, at the meeting yesterday, the tosmptation to divide ss. per share—which the funds in hand would have allowed —as dividend; and great as i is the denial practised, it may prove the foundation of mi ich larger profits should the new mine realise the expec Wien indulged by many. The present year, with its r more abundant supply of quicksilver, will probably be tile great era for mining enterprise in Mexico, the expul filen of so many citizens of that republic from California , and the advanced price of silver, being a decided lucent Ivo. The English Stock Market Itas been very quiet, and not higher. Consols have been quoted 96i for Transfer and Account, in theaT isence of any new s o f in terest from abroad. There is no speculation, and the money purchasers are chiefly 1)y the Commissioners for the Reduction of the Debt. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have real sod 984 to 99; and th e Three per Cents. 97A Batik Stock is worth 215. East India Stock has been o:uoted 266.
