Then the intelligence of the demise of the Empress MARIA LOUISA, the con sort of the most puissant monarch, the most daring soldier, and the most extraordinary conqueror on the globe, would have been received in the different sovereignties of the eastern hemisphere (with the exception of England) wit. every token of sorrow and every expression of sympathy. The world would have seen in the event the death of a young princess, in the bloom of womanhood, whose brow had but recently been girt with the diadem of the wife of a greater than CIIARLBMAGNE, whose throne was guarded by war riors as memorable as the fabled palladins of ARTHUR, whose sceptre was a sword more terrible than Joyeuse, and whose vast and almost miraculous empire extended among the shepherds on the Julian Alps and the fishermen on the Baltic. Now, however, the daughter of Fa users disappears without arous ing any sentiment more worthy than one of the most supreme indifference. The glory which surrounded her for a fitful interval at the commencement of this century has long since vanished ; she has successively dwindled from an Empress into an Archduchess, from the spouse of the Emperor NAPOLEON into the partner of a one-eyed Chamberlain, from the gran deur of an unparalleled pomp to the obscure gratifica tion of an ignoble passion ami ist the provincialisms of a petty principality. With an opportunity—than which woman never had a more golden one—of rendering herself illustrious to all time and in all history, by sharing the misfortunes of the wonderful man to whose destinies she had been bound by the consecrating hand of religion, MARIA Louisa so acted as to render herself the most contemptible actor in that drama of perfidy, meanness, and ingratitude. If any emotion could by possibility be excited by the information just received from northern Italy respecting the departure of the Archduchess or ex- Empress MARIA Louisa, the emotion would be rather pleasurable than otherwise ; for by her removal one of the greatest obstacles to the adjustment of the Italian Customs' League is removed in like manner. According to the stipulations contained in the Treaty of Vienna, the triple principalities of Parma, Piacenza, and Guastalla, devolve upon the representative of the Spanish Bourbons, the Ex-Duke of Lucca, a Prince whose constitutional weakness may conduce to the political liberation of his people if his patriotism be not suffi c i ent to produce that guarantee of their happiness. Brief as is the period which has elapsed since this ruler abdicated from the sovereignty of the Lucchese, it may have been enough to convince him of the value of that authority which his previous policy rendered him incapabl e of rtainig, and to satisfy him that a servile compliance with the wishes of Prince METTERNICI I can only result in his o wn degradation, or in the tumultuous assemblies and open rebellion of the Itali ans. vhtthiser l trans may- be his decision, the consequence of ference of the sway of Parma, Pi acenza, and er talla, cannot prove otherwise than beneficialnitnosultialha-e. cause of the nationality of the Roman peninsula. Another of the old impediments has disappeared, th e fate of those territories which are immediately con tiguous to Venetian Lombardy is narrowed, the aspirations of Pius and the dreams of GIOBERTI are approaching nearer and nearer to their realisation. Even supposing that the successor of MARIA Louise. should still continue to evince his subservieney to the dictation of Austria, and that Parma, Piacenza, and Guastalla should, like Modena, be dedicated in a more especial manner than heretofore to the interests of the Vien nese Cabinet, it were frivolous to anticipate any other consequence to such an irrational proceeding than such as are calculated to benefit the promoters of the popular movement. With Tuscany in one direction, and Piedmont in the other, and Sardinia in the direction of the Mediterranean, and the Papal States skirting the shores of the Adriatic—with thousands prepared at the first signal to draw the brand of freedom southwards in the dominion of the Two Sicilies, and north wards in those of Venetian Lombardy—!it were insane to look forward to any success atten dant upon the petty obstructions raised by the late Duke of Luccs. and now the Grand Duke of PARMA/ PIACENZA, and GUASTALLA. Against the Italian Customs' League he would prove impotent ; with it, he might be of material assistance to the people. Events must bpeedily divulge his intentions, and under all circumstances render the cause of the mul titude triumphant. The many extraordinary circumstances con nected with the frightful homicide which has been known as the " Mirfield Murder," and for which two men are at this moment lying under sentence of death at York Castle, render it worthy of the most serious corkideration. We have, first, the almost unparalleled atrocity of the crime; secondly, that PATRICK REID, the principal delinquent, had already been tried and acquitted of the murder of one of the three parties, who were butchered almost at the same moment, and that the evidence applicable to the second case was exactly that which should have been produced on the former trial; thirdly, that M'CAna (one of the convicted parties) had been admitted as evidence on behalf of the Crown against REID, the other prisoner on the former occasion, when the acquittal took place, and that such a proceeding is generally supposed to act as a bar to any subsequent prosecution for the offence, and to protect the party who had given his testimony from the penal consequences of his guilt; and, fourthly, the confession of REID, who, previously to his conviction, confessed privately to his attorney, which he confirmed subsequently, when every hope of his life being spared had departed, that he was the only guilty party, and that M'CABE had not in 1 -avee participated in the offence, and that in fact, at this moment, an innocent iiiaii Ito, logion. justly convicted, and that he is now subject to the in fliction of the extreme penalty of the law for a crime of which he is guiltless. On the first point, a more harrowing and frightful affair can scarcely be found in our criminal records. In the middle of the day, almost at high noon, an aged couple, and their servant, were murdered under circumstances of the greatest brutality. The murderer having fractured their skulls with the deadly weapon (the soldering iron) with which he had armed him self, and with the kitchen poker, which he had seized when the first instrument was broken from the violence of his blows ; then rifling the pockets of his victims, and, to make assurance doubly sure, cutting the throats of the several parties with a razor which he had for that purpose removed from its case. What renders the entire case (if possible) more horrible was, that there was an entire absence of any motives that could have induced a feeling of revenge. There had been no dispute or quarrel ; there had been no ejectments or altar denunciations ; it was simply the desire of gain, the intention to plunder a trifling sum, that induced the wretched man to deprive three human beings of their lives—coolly and deli berately to shed the blood of his fellow-creatures in order that he might more easily carry his intended robbery into effect. The desperate determination with which the fearful act was perpetrated may be judged from the fact, that while the murderer was in the house, with his bleeding victims stretched at his feet, a knock came to the door, which, after two or three repetitions, he answered, and after opening the door and sending away the person who had knocked, he returned into the house, completed the robbery which he had commenced, found the razor, and with it cut the throats of the unfortunate couple and their servant, and then coolly washed and wiped his hands, divested himself of the marks of his offence, and on leaving the scene of his guilt locked the door, and threw the key and the instrument of murder into the well, and returned to his own house. It would, we believe, be impossible to find in the annals of crime a more atrocious or horrifying trans action. Ye shall now turn to the confession of the mur derer and the exoneration thereby of his fellow-con vict, because, although we placed it fourth, it is more immediately connected with the facts of the case to which we have already adverted. The great point to be considered is, what faith can he placed in the statement that has been made—how far can its accu racy be relied on, and is AI`CAnE actually either entirely innocent, or at most only guilty of having suppressed the truth and concealed his knowledge of the offence, which he accidentally attained, in order to shield the murderer from his guilt ? It is possible that a murderer might tell a falsehood and go out of the world with a lie in his mouth in order to save an accomplice—that being well aware that a full confession or a sturdy denial cannot have the slightest effect on his own fate—that for him all worldly prospects have closed for ever, and that he must shortly render up his forfeit life on the scaf fold, he may think he was committing but a venial sin in endeavouring to preserve his comrade from an ignominious death. Implicit credence cannot there fore be accorded to such a story, but it must be closely scrutinised in every particular. It must be ascertained how farit is corroborated by, or at variance with, the facts that have been deposed to by witnesses whose testimony is unimpeached—what intrinsic evidence of truth it possesses—how far it is probable or even possible; and if after the strictest investia tion into every circumstance of the case, and the most attentive consideration of the facts, the recent state ment is such as to awaken any reasonable doubt as to the actual guilt of the party declared to be inno cent in the disclosures of the acknowledged murderer, he should receive the benefit of that doubt ; and the benign principle of the British law being kept in re collection, " that it is better that ninety-nine guilty persons should escape than that one innocent man should be unjustly punished," the Home Secretary, on whom, in the absence of any tribunal of appeal, the question of APCABE'S life or death now entirely depends, should either accord a free pardon, or at least commute the sentence to a punishment suited to any offence of which he may undoubtedly be guilty. We shall on a future occasion resume the conside ration of this subject, and we think that we shall be enabled to show that there is at least such a reason able doubt, and that in M'Cang's case the capital sentence should not be carried into execution. The Austrian Observer of the 17th contains a long article on the reply made by the Swiss Diet to the notes of the Cabinets of Vienna, Berlin, and Paris. This article is remarkable for the One of bitterness which pervades it throughout, and for the decided hostility which it manifests for the principles on which the reply of the Diet was founded. The per sonal allusions in it, when referring to the chiefs of the Federal party, are also of a much stronger cha racter than any hitherto made in this semi-official journal. The writer denies the right of the Diet to dictate to the cantons, which he declares are all sepa rate and independent sovereigns, and characterizes the war, on the part of the majority, as a display of force without any of the rights which would render it legi timate. The Swiss Confederation, says the Austrian Observer, is not, as the Diet pretends, an indivisible republic, and the Diet is not a central government. On the question of the Jesuits, the Austrian Observer says "The Jesuits were only made a means of dividing those who resisted, and to make an ally of the opi nion of the day, which was opposed to that order. The Diet was but too successful on this point with the mass, who do not reflect, and easily receive im pressions. But as regards public right, was the war, undertaken on such a pretext, and which has ended in the preponderance of the radical aggressors, justifiable ?" In another part the writer, after observing that the intrigues of the Radical party in Switzerland can only b e continued so long as Austria, Prussia, and France may be pleased to tolerate them, says— " The Radical note (the reply of the Diet) boasts of the friendly reception which the Diet has met with from its friends in the conquered cant ons ; b ut when these cantons s h a ll have been evacuated by the troops of the Diet, and when guarantees shall have been given by the majority again s t a similar attack upon the public peace, we shall see w hethe r th e people of primitive S witzerland have received this kind of li berator with the general joy stated in the Radical note.' The artiele concludes 1,4 alluding to that part of THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, The Piednwntese Gazette (4 the 20th publishes the proclamation of the Parma Ministers notifying to the people the death of the Archduchess MARIA. LOUISA, and the accession of the Infant CHARmis LOUIS BE Botranor; (the ex-Duke of Lucca), to whom a courier has been dispatched. It would appear that the day after the death of the Archduchess the people gathered before the palace, crying " Viva Reform !" and that a deputation went up to the Regency and pre sented an address, demanding a new constitution, with various reforms, and the organization of a " National Guard." The Regency are stated to have answered that nothing could be decided upon in the absence of the new Sovereign. The Piedmontqe Gazette also states that a serious riot took place at Lucca on the Bth. The English squadron is stated to have left Leghorn on the 18th. Disturbances are said to have also taken place at Modena, owing to the Duke's refusal to enter the projected Italian Customs League. At Naples, on the evening of the 16th inst., a riot of a political nature took place, which required the interference of the military. Several of the rioters were severely wounded ; two gendarmes were seriously hurt; another had been killed; a police soldier had also been slain, and two more were suffering from dangerous wounds. At Messina great agitation prevailed. Marshal LANDI had retired to the fort, and the troops had scarcely any more inter course with the inhabitants. The Duke Da SERRA CAPRIOLA arrived at Naples, from Paris, on the 16th. A letter from Rome of the 13th says— " The Sovereign Pontiff has this day received Vice- Admiral Parker and the English General Adam at a private audience. They are to return to-morrow to the Build, g, which is at present stationed in the port of Civita Vecchia. In reply to the expression of sentiments of admiration and respect felt towards him by these gentlemen, Pius IX. said that he was proud of the sympathies which his Government had met with in Great Britain. These sympathies, joined to the love of his people, and to the loyal and sincere co-operation of all good citizens, would, he trusted, give him strength to overcome all obstacles, and to accomplish the task which he had commenced. I walk with God,' he added, and I shall therefore succeed I' " A letter from Turin of the 16th says—" Important measures are expected for the new year. It is thought that a general amnesty will be pronounced. The KING has solemnly promised it, and nothing warrants the supposition that he will violate his word. It is stated also that the Jesuits are to be expelled, but this is doubtful ; as is the assertion that a constitu tion is speedily to be granted. This latter event is very seriously spoken of, and it is affirmed that CHARLES ALBERT said to Lord MINTO, If I were absolutely free in my acts, I should long since have been a constitutional King.' " Madrid papers of the 18th and 19th have arrived. At a meeting of the Moderado Deputies, held on the 17th, it was determined, by a majority of 105 to 14, to impeach SALAMANCA for his administration of the finances. Many of SALAMANCA'S adherents voted for the impeachment, as the ex-Minister himself courts a public inquiry into his conduct. MADRID Botsa, DEC. 19.—The Three per Cents, were done at 27f, at fifty days; the Five per Cents., at 154 for paper; and the Debt without interest, at at 5, for cash. We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. On the subject of the KING'S health we find the following in Galignanes Messenger of Friday : "The report which has been current for the last two days of the King being seriously unwell is, we are assured, destitute of truth. His Majesty has, it is true, been attacked by a cold with hoarseness, to which he is very subject at this season of the year, but which is never of long duration; and, we under stand, that on the present occasion, notwithstanding the prevailing influenza, the symptoms are so mild as not to excite the slightest uneasiness. Generally speaking, his Majesty does not, when under the in fluence of these attacks, feel it necessary to change his ordinary habits, but as his present hoarseness might, if not removed, render it painful for him to deliver the Speech at the opening of the session, repose has been recommended, and therefore his Majesty did not, on Tuesday and Wednesday evening, receive visitors. The Queen, however, received as usual." The Dibats of Saturday announces that the health of the KING is completely re-established. The Court will go into mourning twenty-one days, on the occasion of the death of the Archduchess MARIA LOUISA. The unexpected demise of the Archduchess will seriously complicate the 'affairs of Italy. The Constitutionnel says— " Th e unexpected death of the Archduchess Maria Louisa causes a new complication in the affairs of Tuscany. The treaties of 1815, explained by one of 1844, stipulated that on the death of the Archduchess the Duke of Lucca should abandon his states to Tus cany, take possession of the Duchies of Parma, Placentia, and Guastalla, and receive Pontremoli and its territory from Tuscany. When the Duke of Lucca, in anticipation of the heritage of the Arch duchess, ceded his duchy of Lucca to Tuscany, for a revenue of 1,200,000 livres, it was agreed that Pon tremoli should remain attached to Tuscany until the decease of the Archduchess should bring about the case foreseen by the treaties. The inhabitants of Pontremoli rejoiced at an arrangement which main tained them for some time longer under the authority of liberal and enlightened Prince. This joy will not have been of long duration, and the sudden death of Maria Louisa renders inevitable the change of Go vernment against which the inhabitants of Pontremoli had talked of rising in insurrection." A large body of Poles assembled on Friday at the Hotel Lambert, to present to Prince CZARTORYSKL the medal which the Polish Historical Committee has had struck in homage to the eminent merits of the Prince, and in commemoration of the important services he has rendered to his country. The Prince, surrounded by his family, received the deputations from the Literary Society, from the Historical Com mittee of Paris, and from that of Londcn, which readily concurred in this national manifestation, The remnants of the old army of Poland, as well as of the Polish Diet, who were present, represented the struggles of Poland, her sufferings, and her rights. A group of young Poles, brought up at the Hotel Lambert, and the pupils of the school at Chaillot, were also present. M. T. MoßAwsk.r, Vice-Presi dent of tho Historical Committee, formerly Minister of Foreign Affairs, having presented the medal, M. RAVRY/COWSKI, formerly a member of the national Government, read the address of the Literary So ciety of Paris, and Colonel SCIRUSA that of the the reply of the Diet, in which it denies the right of intervention by the great Powers in the affairs of Switzerland. The right of intervention is insisted upon from the fact, as the writer says, that the Fede ral Government has given no guarantees to the can tons of the minority for the maintenance of their independence. This independence, he says, is stipu lated by the federal compact, and, having been violated, the cantons of the minority have a right to form a defensive league for their own security. He says— " The violators of the compact may consider them selves the legal and acknowledged representatives of Switzerland, but it must be permitted to the Great Powers of Europe to entertain a different opinion. If, with a numerical superiority of six to one, the Diet has trodden under foot the Catholic league, that changes nothing in the character of the affair consi dered in point of right, and the Helvetic Confedera tion of 1815, the neutrality of which was guaranteed by the Congress of Vienna, no longer exists. Europe will now decide to which of the two elements into which Switzerland is di vided this political privilege is to be accorded." It is evident from this passage, if the Austrian Observer is on this occasion the organ of the Cabinet, that it is really intended to insist upon guarantees from the Diet as regards the sovereignty and independence of the cantons of the ex-Sonderbund, and to insist upon the right of intervention on the ground that the Diet has violated the conditions on which the independence of the Helvetic Confederation generally was gua ranteed by the great Powers in the Congress of Vienna. Letters from Berne of the 22d state that the canton of Neufchatel, instead of paying the 300,000 Swiss francs, in obedience to the decree of the Diet, in money, had sent bills of various descriptions to Berne, and only 120 francs in money. The Diet had ordered all these bills to be returned to Neufchatel, and had demanded bullion instead. Unterwalden having paid its share of the expenses of the war, had had its Federal garrison reduced. Friburg had de clared its inability to satisfy the demands of the Diet at present. Dr. STIEGER has been elected Deputy of Lucerne. Sir STRATFORD CANNING gave a grand diplomatio dinner on the 21st to the officers of the Directory and to the Foreign Ministers. London committee. The dignified but affecting reply of the Prince produced such emotion as to cause many of the persons present to shed tears. The presentation of the medal was to have been fol lowed by a dinner do be given to the Prince at LE MARDELAY'S, in the Rue Richelieu, and about 200 Poles had assembled there to do honour to the septua genarian patriot, when, an hour before the banquet was to be placed upon the table, the police prohibited the meeting, and the Prince and Princess on their arrival found the doors closed against them, M. GUIZOT not having had the ordinary politeness to in form Prince CZARTORYSKI that the banquet would not be permitted to take place. In order further to show how completely hq is the very obedient, humble servant of Austria and Russia, M. GUIZOT has de prived sixty of the Polish refugees of the allowance voted them by the Chamber. The excuse given for this is that they occasionally corresponded with their friends in Poland. M. GUIZOT is a bold man thus to brave the public opinion of the French people. As we conjectured ADD-EL.KADER has not sur rendered. The Ministerial print, the Conservateur, says— "We learn by our private correspondence from Africa that his Royal Highness the Duke d'Aumale has left Algiers for Oran. This unexpected depature has just given rise to many conjectures. It was said at Algiers that Abd-el-Kader had definitely refused to submit to the conditions which the Emperor Muley Abderrha man desired to impose on him. We have made these conditions known to our readers, and we have always believed that they were in fact unacceptable. Ab-el- Kader appears resolved to attempt anew the chances of a struggle against the Moors. One of his soldiers had been to the camp of General Lamoriciere, and had there given the assurance that the ex-Emir was decided to commence the attack during the night, and to fall unexpectedly on each of the separate camps, in such a manner as to overthrow them one after the other, being too weak to keep the field against all his enemies united. Our readers will understand that in such a conjuncture the presence of the Governor ' General may have a decisive influence on the events. On the other hand it is said, it is true, that Lieutenant- General Lamoriciere was shortly to leave for Paris to take part in the labours of the session; and that the Duke d'Aumale had to proceed to Oran, in order to come to an understanding with General Cavaignac, who will be charged ad interim with the government of the province. This reason is no doubt excellent, hut we do not the less believe that it is not it which has most contributed to hasten the departure of the Prince." MM. DE COLLOREDO-\VALLSECII and RADOWITZ, the Austrian and Prussian Ambassadors to the con ferences on the affairs of Switzerland, arrived in Paris on Friday. The Toulonnais of the 21st instant contains the following : "The crews of the ships of the Mediterranean squadron are being completed. - Several ships of war have already arrived at Toulon, bringing a sufficient number of men to replace those of the class of 1840, who have been paid off. The Government appears disposed to maintain the squadron on a proper foot ing, and we cannot but approve its resolution. We should, however, recommend it to augment our armaments in the Mediterranean, where England is now concentrating an imposing force. We have several ships in commission, and amongst others the Hercules and Jemappes, which, it is true, might com plete their armament in a very short period, if there were men enough in the depots. Certain points of the Mediterranean coast may soon become the theatre of serious events. The political situation of Italy, the recent insurrection in Greece, and the serious nature of the differences existing between that kingdom and Turkey, are so many facts calculated to produce com plications which ought to be foreseen." Lord 13aotionam had arrived at Paris on his way to Cannes, where he intends to pass the month of January. The French Three per Cents. were done, in the Passage de l'Opera, Paris, on Saturday, at 751. 75c. MARSEILLES, DEC. 21.—Marseilles and Avignon, 5701.; Northern. 556 f. 25c. WEST INDIA MAIL. The Royal Mail Steam-Packet Company's ship Trent, Sturdie commander, bringing the West India Mails, has arrived at Southampton. Her dates are :—St. Jago de Cuba, Nov. 17; Jamaica, 23; Puerto Rico, 27; Demerara, 17; Tobago, 18; Tri nidad, 18 ; Barbadoes, Dec. 1; St. Vincent, Nov. 24; St. Lucia, Dec. 2 ; St. Thomas, 4 ; Fayal, 18. The mails came in charge of Lieutenant Strover, R.N., Admiralty agent. By this arrival we learn that the West India Islands generally were healthy, and the weather genial. The steamer encountered stormy weather on her passage home. The commercial advices by this arrival are not of much interest. Passengers, 30. Amongst other goods she brings on freight bars of silver, value sterling 1,8701. ; dollars, on merchants' account, 17,000 ; casks of coffee, 35 ; bales of sarsa parilla, 177; and 52 packages of sundries. The mails will be forwarded to London by the eleven o'clock train. The Trent left St. Thomas four days later than was appointed.—Times. MARLBRO'-STREET--(THIS DAY.) Edwin James Mitchell, a well-dressed young man, was placed before Mr. Bingham, charged with steal ing nineteen yards of sattinette, value 3/ 103., the property of his employer, Mr. William Owen, silk mercer, 78, Qxford-street. Mr. William Merchant, pawnbroker, 413, Oxford street, said, on Friday evening last the prisoner came into his shop and offered the piece of sattinette in pledge. Witness asked him whose property it was. The prisoner said it belonged to his father, who 3e sired him to pledge it, and that the reason he (his father) could not come himself was, that he was very ill. Witness told him to bring a note from his father to that effect, and he would take the property in pledge. The prisoner left the shop for that purpose, and witness took the precaution to send a lad to fol low him. The prisoner subsequently returned, and presented a note, purporting to be written by his father. While witness was reading the note, his lad came in and informed him that he had seen the pri soner go into a stationer's shop and write the note. Under these circumstance witness sent for a constable and gave him in charge. Mr. William Owen, of the firm of Rumball and Owen, 78, Oxferd-street, said the prisoner had been in his employ for 10 months up to Friday last. To the best of his belief the sattinette produced was his property, and had not been sold in the regular way of business. The prisoner, in defence, said the sattinett e was hi s own property. H e bought it some months since at Luton, Beds., of a commercial traveller, who unfor tunately had lately destroyed hunseit: Police-constable E 7 produced several duplicates relating to pieces of satin and other articles, which, no doubt, would be found to have been stolen. Mr. BINGHAM remanded the prisoner till Thursday next. The remainder of the morning was occupied by the Court in disposing of no less than 40 drunken charges, the result of the Christmas festivities. Nearly all the parties concerned were discharged with a caution. WORSHIP-STREET. —(THIS DAY.) Henry Smith, alias Jones, was charged with break ing into the dwelling house of Mr. Charles Little, of 43, Compton-street, Hackney. Mr. Little stated that he left home on Christmas eve, at about five o'clock. Previous to his depar ture he double-locked the street door. Witness returned at about half-past six o'clock, and found the prisoner inside the passage of the house, endeavouring to pull out from the lock of the street door the key (a skeleton one) now produced. Witness asked him what he wanted, and the prisoner replied by asking him "if Mrs. Gregory was at home?" No such person, however, resided there. Witness was some whlt taken by surprise, but quickly recovered him self, and, seizing the prisoner by the collar, cried out " Help, police." Police-constable Zinzau, 62 N, took the prisoner into custody. Prisoner said he had found the street door open, when he went in to make the inquiry alluded to. Mr. HAMMILL committed the prisoner to gaol for three months, as a rogue and vagabond. The Lord Chancellor (Lord Cottenham) is at present residing at Torquay, by the advice of his phy sician, who recommended this queen of watering places as likely to prove beneficial to his Lordship's health.— Western Times. DICK TURPIN OUTDONZ.—On Saturday evening, the 10th instant, a horse took fright and ran away with a cart on the Basingstoke road, about half a mile from this town. On coming to the Whitley toll-gate, which was closed, the animal took a brilliant leap, and actually cleared the gate, without injury to either; from thence he ran down the hill, and met with no wcrse mischance than breaking his trace on his way to Grazeley Lodge, the place of his destination. In leaping the gate the animal had the advantage of starting from a descent, but that with a cart by no means light he should have been able to clear it without the least damage is really extraordinary.—Berkshir e Chronicle. DECEMBER 27, 1847. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Liverpool Cotton Market was closed on Satur. day. There is very little news in the City this morning, but the steamer from the West Indies is telegraphed, and the letters may be delivered this evening. Business in nearly all departments is expected to be inactive until after the commencement of January, when many are sanguinely looking fur better times. The Money Market is gradually becoming easier, but will probably be somewhat tightened just before the close of the year. We shall then shortly have the dividend payments to afford relief, and as a great many railway companie3 pay their interest in January, this will go in part liquidation of " calls." The scarcity of first-class bills of exchange will limit greatly the opening for the employment of a large amount which was ordinarily lodged with the discount houses. There is very little doing in the Public Securities, but prices are firmer, owing to the generally improved tone of feeling and the advance in prices at Paris. Consols are 85i to 854 for January. The Reduced Three per Cents, realise 85 I, and the New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. 86f :t. Exchequer-bills have been at 9s. to I2s. premium. The Foreign Securities are steady, but not brisk. Portuguese F9ur per Cents. have been 22-1, and Mexican Bonds 18k. Dutch Four per Cents. are 85k, and the French Three per Cent Rentes 76, with the exchange at 25f. 50c. The Railway Share Market is better, and holders seem inclined to ask higher rates. Vbirti Vbition THE FUNDS.-(CLOSING PRICES ONE PRICES OF WHITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. 3 per Cent.

Although the attendance of buyers was by To means large, the Beef trade ruled steady, and last 7 5 , week's price s w ere su p porte d i n every instance. Pr i me 13 Scots sold without difficulty at from 4s 10d to 5s per 81bs. At least two thirds of the Beasts were beneath the middle quality. The droves from the northern grazing districts consisted of about 900 short horns. From the western and midland counties we received 5 00 Herefords, runts, Devons, and Irish Beasts ; from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds ; and from Scot land 120 horned and polled Scots. There was a Teri moderate number of Sheep offering, and the quality of that description of stock was by no means first-rate. Prime old Downs, which were very scarce, moved of freely, at the extreme rates paid on Monday last, or from 53 2d to 5s 4d per Blbs. Otherwise the Mutton trade was steady, at full prices. Scarcely any Calves were in the market, and the Veal trade was firm at full prices. Prime small Porkers moved off readily at extreme cur rencies. Other kinds of Pork were quite as dear.

THE CHOLERA.—The Lemberg Gazette says— " We can affirm that hitherto no trace of the cholera has appeared in Galicia, and that the general state of health in the kingdom of Poland (except in the Rus sian Government of Kieu, where, however, it is on the decline) has not given any reason to be appre hensive, nor has any precipitate precautionary mea sures been adopted. MOSSUL, OCT. 31.—Just as we were thinking our selves safe, the cholera has broken out among us, and the persons attacked have almost all immediately (lied. The Pacha has at once forbidden the sale of fruit in the barracks, and has removed the troops to some dis tance from the town, under tents. The appearance of this pestilence fills all men with consternation, especially as we have scarcely any medical men. In fact, in Mossul itself, there are only two.
