Most of the convalescents now on board the Pa rana are doing well, and hastening rapidly towards complete recovery, with the exception of one of the Crew, whose death is momentarily expected. A full supply of medicines and all necessaries has been sent off to the Parana by Mr. Wiblin, and fresh pro visions will also be provided in abundance daily for the use of the passengers and crew while the vessel is under quarantine. The most painful anxiety was manifested by the relatives of those on board to learn the names of the crew who have fallen victims to the disease, and every boat coming from the vessel was besieged by anxious inquiries as to the war-being of the various persons belonging to the ship. According to accounts brought by the Parana from tho Pacific, the cholera was prevailing at Lima. General Flores was at Valparaiso. The commander of the Pacific Steam Navigation Company's ship Bogota reports that on his voyage to Panama he touched at the Lobos de Afuera Island to deliver dispatches from the Peruvian Government, and was informed that two armed American brigs had touched there the day previ ously for cargoes of Guano, but were not permitted to anchor, their commanders being informed that they might proceed to Callao, where the Peruvian Government would make arrangements for their loading at the Chincha Islands at 20 dols. per ton. From Jamaica we have intelligence, contained in files of the island journals, and our usual corre spondence, to the 28th of December, on which day the Parana left Ki ngs t on . The Legislature had been adjourned from the 17th of December to the 25th inst. Previous to the adjournment several short bills had been passed, continuing to the 31st of March several acts which would otherwise expire on the 31st of December, in order that an oppor tunity might be afforded, on the re-assembling of the Colonial Parliament, to fully consider the seve ral acts with the view of amending or repealing each of them as might be considered expedient. Among the measures that will engage the attention of the Assembly after the recess is a bill introduced by the hon. member for Port Royal, Mr. E. Lucas, a gentleman of high standing in the mercantile community of Kingston, and well versed , in finan cial matters, to withdraw from circulation all the present island Treasury notes, and to issue others in lieu thereof. The object of the hon. gentleman was said to be to ascertain how far the fears ex pressed in certain quarters, that the present issue exceeds the amount authorised bylaw, are well founded. The Christmas holidays had passed over With even more than their usual quietness. The il:apetus which in former days was usually given to trade at this period of the year was scarcely, if at all, felt. The weather was mild with alternate sunshine and mild showers—the former predomi hating. The heat was intense for the period of the Year. The public health continued rather unsatis factory. There had been several cases of fever among the shipping of Kingston. Our accounts from British Guiana that - the Court of Policy had been in session in deliberation upon several measures of great colonial importance. A new arrangement had been approved as to the management of the funds devoted by the Legisla te to the support of th e p oor. They will in tuture be under the control of Poor Law Commis sioners directly responsible to the Executive. The Educational Bill had been refused by the Court of Policy in its proposed shape, and had been referred to the Commissioners of Education with a recom mendation that a new bill be prepared embracin g the leading points developed in the communication of the Court. Meetings had been held and com mittees formed for the purpose of assisting the Irish an d A mer i can E x hibiti ons of Industry . A large and influential meeting was held on the 22d of December, in the rooms of the Royal Agricul tural and Commercial Society, for the purpose of adopting measures to put a stop, if possible, to th e irregularities of the ships of the Royal Mail Steam packet Company. good that those who attempt Protestant propagandism should die in prison. When you point out these con tradictions, the answer is simple, that it suits its lan guage to times and circumstances. When it cries out for liberty in France, it was because it wants a weapon for its projects, which, when used, it throws away." Such is the Debats picture of the present conduct of the Ultramane party in France. The Constitutionnel contains the following article on the subject of railway enterprise : "It is interesting to compare the progress and move ment of railways in France and England during the year which has just elapsed. The comparison has more than a mere statistical interest, for railways at present play a great part in affairs of business. The network of rail ways open in France is about 3,708 kilometres in length, whilst those in England are 11,126 kilometres ; so that we have as yet only one-third of the length of railway communication to be found in England, though we have a territory nearly double and a population a third more. Such a disproportion evidently cannot be maintained, and must be attributed to accidental causes. We began by losing a considerable time in discussing the system to be followed, and then came the revolution of February to paralyse the spirit of enterprise and to destroy credit. Four years were thus absolutely thrown away. Fortu nately everything has changed since the 2d of December. Nothing has been neglected to repair as much as pos sible the mischief done. Nearly 3,000 kilometres have been added in 1852 to the lines already conceded. The works are being urged on with extraordinary activity, and we are sure to see, in the space of three or four years, our railways attain the length of 7,000 or 8,000 kilometres. What, above all, ought to encourage us is the returns, becoming every month more and more favourable, of our railways. The receipts have in creased from 107 millions in 1851 to 132 millions in 1852 or about 25 per cent. No doubt th a t augmen t a ti on arises in part from the extension of our railways, which have gained 400 kilometres during 1852. But it is caused still more by the revival of commercial affairs and the progress which railway travelling is every day mak ing in the habits of the people. Thus the receipt per kilometre in France, which was 32,345 fr. in 1851, rose to 35,673 fr. in 1852, being an increase of 3,328 fr. per kilometre. If we look to England, the results will be found quite the contrary. The kilometrical receipts, far from increasing, have dimished there each year. It was 3,3051. the mile in 1836, 2,2831. in 1851, and only 2,2381. in 1852. We have already shown that this arises partly from new lines being authorised in opposi tion to those already existing, and partly because after the best lines had been constructed, the less productive ones are now being made. In France, we are as yet only at what may be called the good lines. The opening of the new sections, in place of diminishing the produce, tends to increase it, and consequently the returns per kilometre are regularly advancing amongst us, whilst they are declining amongst our neighbours. These con siderations justify the favour which our railways enjoy. If they have doubled within the last year, that rise is only the consequence of a sound appreciation of the re venue of those undertakings. There is no doubt that they will resume their ascensional movement, as soon as the momentary embarrassments which have appeared at the Bourse shall have disappeared." The delay of a year for the sale of the property of the Orleans family expires in four days. The whole of that property is now alienated. The last sale has just taken place—that of the lands of Car teil, situate in the department of the Loire-Infe rieure. Louis Phillipe had purchased the property from the Marquis de Coislin for 1,300,000 f. The price it has just fetched is 800,000 f. The great and really important question of the Emperor's marriage is likely to be settled in a few days, and that in a manner little contemplated by the Northern Powers. For some time pas Louis Napoleon has in vain sought to find a lady of the rank of Princess, combining all the qualities desirable in a person to be raised to the pre eminent position of Empress of the French. The willin g ness to a q g u e alit t i h es e required a r r e r igio sui n, tab an le d rank, wifiin accept Louis Napoleon as lord and master. The number of Princesses combining the first three of those qualities are very rare—so rare, in fact, that in the whole of Europe they may be limited to half a dozen. But it is the last requirement which has been the principal obstacle to Louis Napoleon's wishes ; for as the marriage of Princesses is a hatter not of choice, but of State policy, Sove reigns and Governments are the " mamas" who have to be consulted, and whose consent is re quired. He has laid aside all idea of hunting after princesses, and has determined to raise to the Imperial throne a young lady whose principal qualifications for that high rank are her beauty and the admiration with which she has inspired his Majesty in the course of a personal acquaintance of some months' standing. The fortunate lady is Mdlle. de Montijo. She is the daughter of a grandee of Spain; the late Duke of Penamando, and is her self, in her own right, Countess of Teba. Her mother, the present Duchess of Penamando (more generally known simply as Madame de Montijo), is of Irish origin. Her name was Fitzpatrick, and her father was for many years British consul at Malaga, ;and she married a young Spaniard to whom she was much attached. It appears that when Miss Fitzpatrick's (marriage took place, .her husband was only a younger son, with scarcely any fortune. Afterwards, the eldest members of his family having died off, he succeeden to the rank of grandee of Spain, and to the titles of Count de Montijo, Duke de Teba, and Duke de Penama n d o . The eldest s i s t er of mine. de /Montijo is the pre sent Duchess of Alba and Berwick, who is the de scendant of the celebrated Duke of Berwick, the natural son of James 11. of England. The young lady herself is about 25 years of age. She is ex ceedingly beautiful, but her beauty partakes mere of the character of her mother's than of her father's country. Her complexion is fair, and her hair a light auqurn, but her eyes are dark. She is re markably handsome, and graceful in her figure, but not above the middle height. Her manners are lively and agreeable, and she is said by compe tent parties to have a particularly fascinating smile. TURKEY AND MONTENEGRO. A Telegraphic despatch from Trieste, dated the 15th inst., announces the arrival at that port of the Vice-President of the Senate of Montenegro, Georges Petrovitch Niegusch, cousin of the reign ing Prince. He was on his road to Vienna and St. Petersbnrgh, on a special mission. General Baron Kellner, adjutant of the Emperor of Austria, and General Mamula, governor of Dal matia, had arrived at Cattaro. Different Austrian battalions in Italy have received orders to march to Dalmatia to strengthen the Austrian army there. Omer Pacha (the Turkish general) arrived at Scu tari od the 7th Jan., at the head of a large body of troops, and proposed commencing the campaign at once, without awaiting the spring. The Montene grins appear resolved on a determined resistance. Prince Danilo had gone to Grahovo to concert common measures of defence with the Voivode of Wojatich, an independet prince, who has de clared himself for the Montenegrins. This prince was very recently decorated by the Emperor of Russia with the order of St. Anne, third class. The Prince of Montenegro also wears Russian orders. all Do. °sweat ry 6i Shropshire Un ion all 'South Devon 100 South Eastern all South Wales 15 S. Yorksh.

FOREIGN GOODS BY RAILWAY.—It having been found that goods removed under bond by railway frequently arrive at the port of destination before the receipt of the letter of advice, the Custom authorities, in order to avoid the inconvenience arising therefrom, have issued a general order to all the ports. in the kingdom, directing that, in cases where the merchants do not require the goods to be reweighed on delivery, the letters of advice be forwarded when practicable on the day the orders for delivery from the warehouse are issued, whether the actual delivery shall have taken place or otherwise. LABOURERS.—Emigration and a better system of cul tivation in Ireland will absorb all the able-bodied men in that country, and leave England in 1853 Ito its own resources. Knowing the want there was of labourers during the harvest of 1852, and the continued exodus to the " gold diggings," it is the policy of farmers . , to retain permanently a great er number of workmen on their land. It cannot be expected that labourers will remain in a locality where there is only a prospect of employment during a part of the year, particularly when emigration offers such a field for exertion. With regard to the expense of paying fair wages all the year, or taking men on when pressed for time at double the usual sum, comes to much the same thing at the end of the year, as far as money is concerned, but makes a wide difference between the connexion of master and servant. The temporary help, on job, works hard for himself, making hay while the sun shines, getting over considerable ground ; but the question arises, is the task so well finished as it would be by a constant la bourer, whose comfort throughout the year depends upon attention to his master's interest as well as his own ? If at this moment farmers complain of a paucity of labour ers (which is the case), what will be the consequence in the spring, when all planting, sowing, and ploughing, which ought to have been done in the winter, must then be performed ? Let me advise agriculturists to retain men and treat them liberally ; seven shillings a week in rural districts, and that only in fine weather, is not enough to insure a proper supply in the labour market. If a different system of paying farm men is not adopted, tenants will in a few months suffer severely in pocket. Wages in the country vary from 7s. to 9s. per week in dry weather, leaving an average, counting working days, of not more than 6s. per week, if as much—a state of things which must not continue, if farmers consult their own interest.—Gardener's Chronicle. A HIT IN THE DARK. —The Englishman (December 4) publishes the following amusing episode in the Burmese war :—" The setting sun was gilding the broad waters of the Irrawaddy as the steamer Mozuffer, with the Calcutta mail, cast her anchor below the Hastings shoal, dreading,'at that late hour, to attempt its dangerous passage. But a little time had she lain there when the Mahanuddy, feeling her way, cautiously yet closely ap proached her, and a staff-officer from the last-named vessel, hailing the Mozuffer, eagerly asked for the latest news. The news !—the news!' exclaimed he and about 50 persons, officers and privates, clustered round, anxiously awaiting the desired information. News,' responded a gruff voice from the Mozuffer,—' ay, there is news, and good news too for you milit ary , That old We will no t at tempt woman, Godwin, has been superseded, an d General Cheape has been appointed to the command i n hi s room.

The duty received upon rum during the same period was 1,101,2751., of which only 53/. was for foreign. ARCHITECTURE AS A BRANCH OF ED UCATION.—The his tory of the world is forcibly illustrated by the history of its buildings ; and the tale, so far from being dry and re pulsive, is singularly curious and interesting. It is not unusual to find even educated men admitting, without any feeling of shame, their entire ignora nce o f architec ture, both as regards its history and prin c ipl es. Thi s surely ought not to be, and need not be. Th e genera l history of the art, and the leading features of architecture as a science, should be communicated to the youth of both sexes and of all grades before they leave school._ Godwin's "History in Ruins."

Several estates had commen ced grinding, and, considering the un toward state of the weather, a fair progress had been made in the manufacturing process, upon the sugar estates. Business had been very dull, and although large importations had taken place, no thing like the Christmas sales of other years had been effected. The new Governor was expected t o return to Castries on New-year's-day. The Grand Anse estate had been sold at a judicial sale for 1 5001., and the Cocoa nut estate for 8001. In Antigua rain had fallen in great abundance. The Island of St. Kitts continued healthy, and the weather was most favourable. At Dominica the oppressively sultry weather prevailing there for a long season .had been suc ceeded by rain descending in light continuous 8110 wers.

All men of good faith will see that the Government has the conscience of having replaced society in its essential conditions of well-being, dignity, and progressive deve lopment, and that strong in the great things which it has accomplished and will still effect, it does not hesitate to render public opinion the judge of the calumnies by which the hatred of the vanquished parties misrepresents in foreign countries its acts, its intentions, and the ser vice which it has rendered, and the manifestation of that national sovereignty, the majesty of which no one is per mitted to insult." With regard to the financial position of France, the Constitutionnel remarks that the increase in the indirect taxes has even exceeded the estimate made by thp Minister of Finance a month ago. He calculated the in crease a t 60,000,000 f., whilst it really is 66,000,000 f. Thus the deficit, which was Primitively estimated at 101,000,000 f and which, by the last estimate, was fixed at 40 0 . 00 000 f .11 ,__ _ , _ •, will be reduced to 34,000,000 f. only.

We have received the Madrid journals of the 13th. 'The _Herald() has a long article in which, after blaming in severe language the conduct of the Government' towards Marshal Narvaez, it says : "Is it extraordinary that the Duke of Valencia, having been made the object of the unjustifiable measure which had been adopted towards him, should have protested against it with vigour and energy Y We think that no one will be astonished at it, and particularly if two things are considered. The first is, that documents like that signed by the General, although addressed under an official form to an august personage, whom every one respects, are in reality directed against the re sponsible advisers of an inviolable and sacred institution • and the second is, that if this docu ment was distributed clandestinely, the Duke of Valencia ought not to be responsible for it." A. deputation of the directors of the Opposition had had an interview with the Minister of the Interior. The latter expressed his regret at the present con dition of the periodical press, but observed that it was not the present Ministry who had made the laws which had led to that disastrous condition, and it had not the power to do all that might be wished in its favour ; he added, however, that orders had been given to avoid all unnecessary rigour. The deputation left the Minister little Satisfied at the vagueness of his reply to their re monstrances. The Heraldo has also published an article, sup porting the demand of the holders of coupons to have them entirely converted into 3 per Cent.

SHOCKING SUICIDE OP A SOLDIER. --On Tuesday after noon, an inquest was held at the Army and Navy Ta- Birmingham, on the body of vern, Great Brook-street, William Templeton, a private in the 2nd Dragoon Guards. On Sunday evening last, he spent about an hour at a public-house near the barracks, where he met a femle, for whom it appears the deceased entertained a moats unfortunate attachment. He left about nine o'clock in company with a young female friend, to whom he declared that since he had come to Birmingham and seen the female in question he had never known hap piness, and expressed his determination not to leave the barracks again alive. After bidding his friend good bye, and desiring her to carry his farewell to the female he had left, he went into the barracks about a quarter past nine. At twenty-five minutes past nine he was seen walking down the passage near his own room, anda few mi nutes after a report of fire-arms was heard in the ablution-room, and on proceeding there his comrades found the body o f th e un f or t una t e deceased stretchedit_head . on the gr oun d , w i t h the greater part of hisface w and completely blown off, and a pistol, covered and brains, lyi ng c l ose b es id e hi m . The jury verdict of " S u i c id e w hil e i n a s t a t e o f Temporary Insanity." ca ith me b l t o o o da EASTERN UNION' RAILtAY:. A meeting of the preference shareholders of, this com pany was held yesterday afternoon, at Radley's Hotel, Bridge-street, Blackfriars, for the purpose of 4f determin ing upon the measures necessary for obtaining a new board of directors, that board not to be fettered by any of the past acts of the preient board." 'Shortly after4w o o'clock the chair was taken by Mr. Holt, NY/10 briefly stated the objects kir which they were called together, Mr. COLE then read a number of letters which he re ceived from persons who approved of the purpose of the meeting, and also the circular by which he had convened it. He thought it right and necessary that such a course should be pursued, in order that the company should at once get rid of the present board of directors. The com mittee to be proposed by the present meeting 'would do all in its power to aid and assist that already in exist ence, of which Mr. Sturge was the,able chairman. He (Mr. Cole), therefore, suggested that 'a committee be ap pointed, with a view to rid the shareholders of the pre sent incompetent board of directors. - Mr. -STURGE said that he thdught it his 'duty to attend that committee of shareholders, and to state that he was about bringing forward a document 'which he believed would bring the company into its proper position. He had looked into its transactions, and having done so, had no hesitation in stating his belief, as a commercial man, that if he had a control of it, not . only would he be able to pay off all the preferential shares, but the entire en gagements of the company. In coming along here he thought to himself, that it was difficult to muster up courage to. speak the truth ; but again he could assure them, that if the company were managed properly, it would produce the results he had stated, lie was for some time past engaged in making out a statement which would prove that, and what he wished was, that when it was ready it should he circulated and, in the hands of every shareholder. He would show the capabilities of the line, the mismanagement which brought the company to its present position, and so sure was he to do so, that he would be ready to engage more largely in it than he was at present. • The board of directors, among other things, proposed to hays a bill passed this Parliament, which would empower them to pay off the preference shareholders at par, and if they did not consent to that, to reduce their stock to four per cent. For his own part, sooner than consent to do so, he would sacrifice half what he possessed in it. (Hear, hear.) The present movement was commenced to make a property for the shareholders, and again he would say that, if he - were the sole director of this com pany, he had no doubt whatever of placing it in a proper position. Mr. HONEYWOOD offered to put down a subscription of 101., and complained of the bad management of the present board of directors, and especially of the project of the line from Norwich to Spalding, Mr. STBUTT had made himself acquainted with the circumstances of that line, and was bound to say that it had nothing whatever to do with the Eastern Union ; and he believed it would do it some service when com pleted. The CHAIRMAN asked when Mr. Sturge would have his report ready ? Mr. STURGE observed, that possibly he would have it ready in a fortnight. Mr. 'UNDERWOOD then moved that a subscription of Is. per share be paid on every 201. stock, for the pur pose of taking the necessary measures to displace the present board of directors. Mr. COLE stated that it was proposed to publish a pamphlet showing the misdeeds of the directors, and he was then in com mun i ca ti on w i t h M r. EffinghamWilson; the publisher, on the subject. Th a t cours e, h e h a d no doubt, would succeed, and he also announced that the committee then to be appointed would co-operate with that of Mr. Sturge, Mr. FISHER believed their motto should at that time be nil desperandum, to get the directors to resign their seats, and that the preference and original shareholders should unite together for the common object of rescuing their property from the present direction, and making it valuable to all. Mr. HARDY, of Norwich, could not give in any pro position which would censure the board generally, al though he disapproved of their management in many respects. He thought if they infused new blood into the direction it would be much better than to take a de cidedly hostile course. He believed the trade from Norwich at the present time was ruinous, for goods were brought 25 per cent, lower than the parties sending them could afford to pay. At the same time, knowing the gentlemen who were on the board of directors, lie he had no desire to join in a vote of censure on them. Mr. BAGSRAWE was disposed to pause for a few days, to hear what the directors had to say, before embarking in a hostile course of proceeding. He threw out that suggestion as one of the largest shareholders of the company, and, therefore, deeply interested in its pro sperity. - A PROPRIETOR complained of what was stated re specting the publication of a pamphlet, which could do no good, but perhaps a great deal of evil. He thought that if the board of directors resigned, then all difficul ties would cease. Mr. WILKINSON denounced the meeting as a decep tion, and called for no other purpose but the publication of a pamphlet. A committee had already been ap pointed, of which Mr. Sturge was one • that gentleman was now preparing a re p or t which would soon be ready, and then they could consider what course they should pursue. He wished to ask Mr. Bagshawe what beeame of the proposition made to Mr. Brassey, one of the directors ? Mr. BAGSEAWE replied, that the matter was still pending, and he suggested that they should waib for a week or a fortnight before taking any further pro. ceedings. After some further discussion, a resolution was unani mously carried—and that for a subscription withdrawn_... that the meeting desired to express their confidence in Messrs. Sturge, Bagshawe, and the gentlemen associated with them as a committee ; and that they in addition to Mr. Holt, the chairman of the present meeting, be re quested to continue their negotiations with the Board of Directors, and to call a meeting of shareholders when those negotiations were concluded. The meeting then separated.

It ap pears that on Friday last the above sum was deposited in the cashier's office for the purpose of paying the ser vants of that establishment, who receive their money every fortnight ; but when the time arrived to commence paying, the clerk so employed discovered that the whole of the above sum had been abstracted from the iron safe. Information was immediately given to the police, but at present no clue has been found to the perpetrators of this mysterious robbery. POSTAGE IN INDIA.—The inhabitants of India will probably ere long be placed in a position nearly resem bling that of the people of the United Kingdom in re gard to internal postage. A commission was some time ago appointed to inquire into the various questions in volved in the subject, and especially one in regard to which the greatest measure of popular interest is mani fested. Hitherto the system has been in India much like that formerly prevailing in this country and in most others. It is m iderstood to be proposed that i n future letters shall be charged according to weight only, with out regard to distance, the minimum charge being half an or the thirty-second part of a rupee. The abo lition o f practice of franking will follow.

It has been planned by a Liverpool association (the English and Irish Magnetic Telegraph Company), by whom a. charter with limited liability has been obtained, and whose capital is 300,0001., with power of increase to 600,0001. The line will consist of ten 'underground wires, and is to be worked by Henley's patent. JEROME BONAPARTE AT BOULOGNE.—On Wednesday last Jerome Bonaparte (the ex-King of Westphalia') made his appearance at Boulogne, with the beautiful Marchese Bartolini (a Florentine widow of high rank, to whom it is said he is privately married). On Thurs day morning he visited the Column, and stayed some time regarding the ground where his brother's troops were formerly encamped when he projected his invasion of England with his flat-bottomed boats. On Friday and Satuaday he was much on the pier, besides driving in all directions • but yesterday morning (Sunday) he departed suddenly to Paris, being recalled there by a telegraphic dispatch. RUSSIAN CATTLE MARKET.—From official returns just published by the Russian Minister of the Interior, the total value of the cattle sold in the market at St. Peters burg from 1842 to 1851 amounted to 36,764,451 silver roubles (about 187,057,802 f.). The average price of butchers' meat during the above 10 years was-Ist quality, 7 7-10 copeks (38c.) the pound; 2d quality, 6 7-10 cop. (38c.) ; and 3d quality, 5 1-10 cop. (25c..). The price of the Ist and 3d qualities remained nearl y same during the whole time ; the second quality de ;dined about 2per cent. from 1842 to 1846.
