VIENNA, Jan. 2.—His E m i nence the Cardinal A xchbishop of Vienna has established au ecelesias ti ittl censure. An " Index" will be published— a 1, is the case at Rome—and all good Catholics %rill have to refrain from reading the books con t fined in it. It is believed that the Arch bi shop is about to publish a pastoral letter, recent nl4 ending the new marriage laws to the faithful. Sc me judicious changes have recently been made in th e Austrian passport system, as travellers in Italy wi 11 have cause to remark. The journey by railroad frt en Venice to Padua is usually accomplished in alp out two hours, and formerly the passports were e:: :amined five times. At present they need only be ala own twice ; that is, when the t rains l eave Venice a n.d when they arrive at Padua. There has been a a nail coup d'etat in Montenegra. Prince Daniel h a a sequestered the property of all the monasteries is t his little State, and the revenue of the same is nc •w paid into the public Treasury. The clergy are pa id by the State, but the Archimandrite of Os ti !sag, whose salary has been fixed at 100 dollars per a] a num, is gone to St. Petersburg to complain of th be conduct of the Prince. The persons suspected of ! having murdered Count Covatelli have been tt iken to Bologna, where they will be tried by an A ,ustrian court-martial. On the 19th of Decem ber 19 persons were tried for burglary and highway abbery at Ancona. The court-martial condemned even of the offenders to death, and the others to ii nprisoatment for periods varying between twenty and five years. Five of the men condemned o death were shot, and the other two were sent to t he galleys. MONE Y MARKET LND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocx. Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton M arket on Saturday closed firmly, but without an imation, and prices of all descriptions were at ful tly last week's rates. The sales were 10,000 bales, 1,1 100 of which were taken for export, and 1,000 on speculation. In the Railway Share Market the demand was tolerably active, but prices remained us ushered from the current rates of Friday. From the manufacturing districts the accounts re ceived this morning report no alteration of im p Drtance in the various cloth and woollen markets. I ?rem Leeds we learn that the mills are generally i la full work, and the operatives are fairly employed. 11!he prospects of the New Year are encouraging, and an active business is expected to arise early in t lie spring. In the worsted trade of Bradford the to ansactions during the past week were limited, t'tte settlement of the annual accounts engrossing chief attention. At Manchester the continued rise in ootton has interfered with the proceedings or the manufacturers and merchants. The accounts received from New York per steamer Africa mention that the money market in that city was very stringent, and increased pressure Was generally anticipated. According to the last weekly return published by the City Banks the loans and discounts were rather smaller owing to a restrictive policy having been commenced. The specie showed a slight augmen tation, but a decline was soon expected in conse uence of the export demand and the large remittances that were being made to Savannah, Mobile, New Orleans, and Charleston. Speen liative Securities were firmly maintained by the .131Z11s, who considered the tightness of the money irtarket as merely of a temporary character. For some months pass the Ottoman Govern *lent has been making endeavours to constitute a 11 rational Bank, partly with the view of raising a to an to supply the exhausted treasury. There w, *re several competitors for the concession, lot :al as well as foreign, but aivices have now come to band announcing that a Batis ta. ctory arrangement has been completed with Eng lia h and French capitalists. We may therefore eel pect that the projected loan of ten or twelve mil lions sterling, which is to be immediately negotiated, will tend to augment the efflux of gold from this country. Subscription lists will probably be opened at Paris, Vienna, Constantinople ; and London, hut the greater portion will no doubt be taken up *bore, especially if the terms are advantageous. 'The shares of the Ottoman Bank have been rather depressed during the last few days, the directors not having been successful in obtain ing the concession for the State Bank, but they are now fir mer , as the company will no doubt continue to transact a profitable business. The demand for money in Lombard -street and at the Bank of England is less active, and the best descriptions of paper are negotiated on rather easier terms. The market for public securities continues re markably firm, with a slight tendency towards im provement. There is, however, very little animation. donsols opened at 91 to 94, 1 ,- and they are now steady at that quotation. The quotation for Feb. is 1:14i k .

The Railway Share market this morning has ex libited rather more firmness, and an improvement of fully to per cent. may be noticed on the Caledonian, East Lancashire, Gt. Northern, Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, South Western, Midland, North-Eastern Berwick, and South -East ern. The French lines are dull, and Paris and Lyons rule rather lower. Great Western of Canada, and Grand Trunk of Canada are rather higher. Joint -Stock Banks and Miscellaneous Shares are 1450 at rather enhanced values. BRITISH PUNDS.—CLOSING PRICES—THIS DAY.

CORN EXCFWTGE. There was a moderate demand for wheat in most of the country markets held on Saturday, and prices were slightly on the advance. Fine barley sold briskly at an improve ment in value of is per quarter. All other kinds of pro duce met a slow inquiry. From New Yorkwehave arlvices to the effect that both wheat and flour were rather dearer. Most of the Conti nental markets have been dull. Vety limited supplies of English grain arrived up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were 23,288 quarters of wheat, 5,805 barley, 15,287 oats, 207 beans, 180 tares, 130 linseed, 32 mustard seed, ICO sundry seeds, 485 sacks and 22,603 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day the receipts of English wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were on a very moderate scale, and the show of samples of both red and white was consequently rather limited. For most descriptions there was a fair but by no means brisk demand, at prices about equal to those realised on Monday last, and a fair clearance of the stands was effected. The general condition of the wheat samples exhibited little or no improvement. There was a good show of all kinds of foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex-granary. American parcels were rather pressed for sale by some of the importers. Otherwise holders were firm, and prices were well supported. Floating cargoes of grain realised full quotations. We had a fair supply of barley in the market. Malting qualities sold briskly, at a further improvement in value of ls. per quarter, and other kinds ruled steady at full quotations. We had a moderate demand for malt, on former terms. The demand for oats was tolerably firm. In prices no change took place. Beans were in request, on former terms. In the value of peas no change took place, and the de mand was steady. The flour trade was firm, and prices were well supported. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

For the time of year the arrivals of home-fed beasts were moderate, but in fair average condition. Although the attendance of butchers was tolerably extensive, the beef trade ruled inactive, and prices were 2d. per 10 lbs. lower than on Monday last. The highest figure for the best Soots was se. 2d. per 8 lbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, &c., we received 1,450 Scots and short horns ; from other parts of England, 300 of various kinds; from Scotland, 300 Scots; and from Ireland, 150 oxen. Although the show of sheep was by no means extensive tho mutton trade ruled heavy, at a decline in the prices realised on Monday last of 2d. per 8 lios. The best old Downs sold at ss. Id. per 8 lbs. There were 800 Irish sheep in the market, and the general quality of the supply was very good. The few calves in the market changed hands slowly a t Friday's decline in value of 61 per 8 lbs.

There is a very firm market for all kinds of English wool ; but, owing to the high va l ue of money, no furthe r advance has taken place in prices.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulbqrn.) IN' RE L. SAiIIUEL. To-day was appointed for the further examination of this bankrupt, who was a diataond merchant, &c., in Bury-street, St. Mary-Axe. _ _ _ The bankrupt was again brought up in custody, hav ing been taken in execution, the original examination having been adjourned since, without protection, in con sequence of the incredible statemect made by tho bank rupt with respect to his dealings and his conduct on some occasions, which was such as to lead to doubts as to his sanity. Mr. Chidley ultimately obtained leave for the bank rupt to be again brought up, and several meetings have been held, during which witnesses and the bankrupt have been examined at great length, but the bank rupt's statements are still deemed unsatisfactory, Mr. Chidley, who has taken up tbe bankrupt's case with great zeal, as unless the truth of the bankrupt's state. ments can be borne out he must remain in prison for an indefinite period, now applied for a further adjourn• ment for a fortnight, when, he had no doubt, he should be able to adduce evidence to corroborate the bankrupt. Mr. Norton, for the assignees, objected, as they were obliged to bear the expenses, there being no estate ; but his Honour ultimately granted the adjournment, on the understanding that bankrupt should pay the costs of the day, and deport 51. to meet further expenses. Mr. Chidley said that would be done, and he had no doubt he should ultimately be able to convince the Court that the bankrupt had stated the fasts. Adjourned accordingly. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) OLD COURT. The January sessions of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morning, at the Old Bailey, before R. Gurney, Esq., the newly appointed Recorder, the Lord Mayor, Alderman Farncombe, Alderman Sir F. G. Moon, Bart., Alderman Kennedy, Mr. STlard Mechi, Mr. Sheriff Keates, and the Under-Sheriffs Crosley and Anderson. The learned Recorder, in charging the grand jury, said that he regretted he was unable to give them the information that might be necessary with reference to many of the charges in the calendar, in con sequence of the late period at which the depo sitions had been returned to the Court. He had an im mense number of depositions there before him ; but as none of them had been returned before Saturday—some of them late on Saturday night, and others relative to the most important cases since he had taken his seat on the bench—he could give them no information or guid mace with reference to the cases to which they referred ; but should they, in the course of their duties, find any difficulties arise, he should have much pleasure in giving them his advice and assistance. He was sorry to find that the calendar contained no less than four charges arising out of matters connected whh the loss of human life. In one of those cases he had only received the depositions that morning. It was the case of a mother charged with the murder of her two infant children, but he did not apprehend any difficulties would arise in the case with regard to their duties. They would consequently, if they found there wero sufficient prima facie grounds for doing so, put her on her trial, leaving it to another jury to investigate the state of her mind, or any other circumstance that might arise in reference to the com mittal of the crime. The other cases affecting life were charges of manslaughter ; one was that of a man giving deceased a blow which forced a tobacco pipe down his throat ; the second was that against a cab driver, who took up a fare when in a state of intoxication, and from his negligence was thrown of his box ; the horse then ran off at a furious rate, and came in contact with an omnibus, the pole of which struck the fare, and death ensued. The remaining case was one of rather an un usual character, that of a schoolmistress causing the death of one of her pupils, from not giving it sufficient wholesome food. .There were two other charges of great importance in the calendar, but which would not, he was sorry to say, be brought before them immediately, in consequence of the great number of wit . nesses to be 'brought from the continent. It bad, therefore, been found necessary to put off the inquiry into these charges for a short period, and that after they had finished the other business to adjourn till the fol lowing Monday, when the cases would be brought before them, and the learned judges who would have to try the cases would attend and dispose of them. The first charge was that against three men, named Pierce, Burgess, and Tester, for stealing gold bullion on the South-Hastern Railway, and he found from the depositions that the proof of the charge against the prisoners rested very much on the evidence of a witness who was a party to the robbery, and who was now un dergoing a sentence for another offence of which he had been convicted. It was not usual in such cases, and it would not be safe to do so, to act on the unconfirmed testimony of an accomplice, and in this case there would be a large quantity of evidence produced tending to confirm the statement of the accomplice. To such an extent did it appear to be produced that the evidence of the accomplice might be said to give a meaning and con• nect facts that would be proved by independent witnesses on whose character, so far as he was aware, there was no imputation. The other case was that of Leopold Redpath and others, charged with defrauding their employers, the Great Northern Railway Company. The case bad attracted considerable public attention, partly probably from the position the prisoner occupied, and partly from the large amount of money of which the Railway Company had been defrauded. Supposing the facts contained in the depositions were esta blished, there could be little doubt but that the prisoner Redpath was led into these frauds in order to repair the losses he bad sustained in great speculations he had been engaged in on the Stool- Exchange. He (the Recorder) was led to think, on looking at this case, that such precautions might be taken to prevent, or at all events to greatly diminish, such temptations as those into which Red path had fallen. It appeared that the business of the Stock Exchange was carried on through the instrumentality of brokers, and he thought that the gentlemen who carried on that business should show more caution in their transactions with persons in confidential posi tions. Cases had lately come before him in which it bad been proved that, had a little more inquiry been made by the brokers, it would have been discovered that the persons employing them had no means of paying any losses that might arise except out of the coffers of their employers, and a very slight inquiry on the part of the brokers would also have proved that the employers would not have retained such persons in their service for a single moment after knowing the kind of speculations they were engaged in. He was aware there was no law to which persons acting in such a manner in their position was amenable, and, indeed, it would be very difficult to frame a law which would render them at all liable ; but still he believed that the brokers of the me tropolis would admit that in conducting their business they awed a responsibility to society of a higher charac ter than those attached to the breach of any human law. There were men of the highest character in that profes sion, and it was only necessary that their attention should be directed to these suggestions, to induce them to exercise more caution than appeared to have been ob. served in many of the cares which bad come before I Criminal Courts. Henry Phillip Artily, 20 years of age, respectably con nected, and described as a surgeon, was indicted for forgery and uttering an order for payment of money, with intent to defraud, and also on several indictments charging him with obtaining jewellery and articles of wearing apparel from various tradesmen at the west-end, The prisoner is what is called a "fast young man;" he used many aliases, and, among others, that of Lord John Hay. The prisoner 'pleaded guilty to the charge of misde meanour and not guilty to the charge of forgery. On which the prosecution offered no evidence. Mr. Metcalfe, whs appeared for the prisoner, said that he had pleaded guilty to what were no doubt three charges of fraud of a systematic, and serious nature, and it was hoped that the ends ofj uetice would be sufficiently answered by the punishment that would be inflicted on him for those without entering on and branding him with the charge of felony. One of the cases certainly involved a question of forgery, which was that of giving a fictitious cheque, merely to obtain a position, but not for any commercial fraud. The prisoner, who was still under age, was respectably connected, and had been entered as a student at St. Thomas' Efosplll, at which time he had ample means ; but having indulged in a life of great extravagance, he had been led into these acts of swindling. Tie was still entitled to pro. perty in his own right, which would be distributed amongst those he had victimised. The prisoner had gone to the Crimea, and after his return com mitted those acts, and he (Mr. Metcalfe) was sorry to say that tradesmen too frequently afforded facilities for these frauds, as in one case the prisoner bad obtained upwards of 401. worth of jewellery for which he could have no use. The friends of the prisoner were desirous that he should leave the country, and they would under take that 234 coon as his term of imprisonment expired he should leave this country for Australia, and under these circumstances he hoped sufficient punishment would be inflicted by the course pursued. Mr. Robinson, on the part of the prosecution, denied they had been guilty of want of caution in this case. The prisonerwassenteuced to 18 months' imprison. merit. The Recorder directed that the property obtained from the prosecutors, end pledged, should be given up, and the friends of the pri..,ener undertook to give up a ring pledged by the prisoner, that he bad fraudulently obtained from a soldier in the Crimea, and which he had found on the field of battle. POLY-1E INTELLIGENCE.—(Tbis Day.) 1 MARLBORO UGH-STREET. PICKPOCKETS AT CLIURCH.—Franci3 Bridges, a well known thief, was placed at the bar before Mr. Beadon, charged with stealing a purse containing a half-sovereign and two shillings from the person of Mrs. Sarah Par , chase, a married lady, residing at No. 18, Argyll-street. The prosecutrix stated that on Sunday afternoon she was coming nut of St. Andrew's Church, Wells-street, just after the service, and when near the door she felt some person's hand in her pocket. She at once looked round and saw a woman in the act of handing her purse to the prisoner, who returned back into the church and mixed with the orowd. She, however, kept her eye upon the prisoner, and he, finding that he was observed with suspicion, ran out of the church. He was subse quently brought back to the church in custody, with the purse and its contents produced in his custody. The prisoner, against whom it was stated there have been several previous convictions, was remanded for a week. SOUTHWARK. DARING WATCH ROBBERY AT A PUBLIC HOUSE.— William Gregory, a well-known convicted thief, was charged with stealing a watch from the person of IVir. Lemaire, the landlord of the King's Arms, Great SoffJlk-street, Borough. It appeared that between 12 and 1 on Thursday morning, the 18th ultimo, the prosecutor was cleaning his horses, and all had left except the prisoner and a female. He held the door open for them to go, when the prisoner snatched his watch from his waistcoat pocket, broke it from the swivel, and ran off with it. The female was detained, having in her possesion the man's coat, but there not being sufficient evidence against her she was discharged. The prisoner was, however, appre - nended a week afterwards by 61 M, when he denied having been in Mr. Lemairo's house. Tne housekeeper to the latter said she was behind the bar at the time, and she distinctly saw the prisoner snatch the watch and run off with it. Mr. Burchain asked what was known of the prisoner. Sergeant Howlett, 29 M, said that he was tried and convicted at the last January Sessions at Newington for a similar robbery. He had also been several times ummarily convicted, and was connected with a despe rate gang of thieve. Mr. Burnham fully committed him for trial. THAMES. ROBS= ON TOWER HlLL.—Maxy Nixon, a young woman, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with {healing a sovereign and a half from the pereon of Heinrich Labour, the chief mate of a Dutch ship. The prosecutor stated that he was at present staying at the Hoop and Shoe Tavern, in King-street, To wer oill. On Saturday night he was on his way home when the prisoner accosted him, and asked him to treat her Be told her to go away, and soon got rid of her. She accosted him again on Tower-hill, near the Hoop and Horse Shoe, laid hold of his arm, and put her hand in his waistcoat pocket, from which she took a sovereign and half sovereign. He laid hold of her, and called police, and a constable came up and took her into cu,t )dy. The prisoner, in defence, said the was quite innocent of the charge. She was walking quickly along Tower hill, and on reaching King -street the prosecutor took hold of her and accused her with robbing him. She trilled for the police, and the prosecutor raised his um brella to strike her, and would have done so if a police man had not come up and saved her from the blow. Frederick Bevan, a police constable, 145 H, said that at one o'clock on Sunday morning he heard the eries of police, and saw the prosecutor and the prisoner strug gling. Tho man charged her with robbing him, ani the woman charged him with striking her. Mr. Selfe—Well, I don't know why her charge tihould not be taken as well as his. The policeman, in answer to questions put to him by Lhe magistrate, said he had known the prisoner a year and a half as a prostitute. lie was not aware she bad ever been iu custody before. The prisoner said she lived in John-street, Spital - fields, and was in the lucifer-match line. She was making her way to a shop to obtain some broad on trust, when the policeman took her into custoLly. Bevan said the man called out police for some time before he arrived at the spot where the parties were struggling. Directly the prisoner saw him she called out "Police." Mr. Selfe said the prosecutor really believed the prisoner was the woman who robbed him, but as there was no confirmation of his statement, and no money found on the prisoner, he should discharge her.

LETRATUII,E. The Course of Time. A Poem. By Robert Pollok, A.M. Illustrated Elition. Blackwood and Sous, Edinburgh and London. The well-known poem of " The Course of Time" is far beyond the need of critical eulogy, and we can only yield our complimentary thanks to Messrs. Blackwood for selecting such a sound work for the subject of exquisite pictorial art and superior mani pulative production. The illustrations, 50 in num ber, are after designs by Foster, Tenniel, and Clay ton, and many of them from the hand of the first named artist are not excelled by any his clever pencil has ever given to the public. The paper, printing, and binding aid in rendering the volume fit to attract the admiration of all who look on it. A more externally elegant and intrinsically valu able gift-book has not often come under our notice. Greal World of London. By Henry Mayhew. Part Li. Bogue, Fleet -street. Mr. Mayhew is carrying on this useful work with unremitting labour and spirit. He is still dedicating his investigations to th e "P r i son " por tion of his undertaking, and performs his task in a very competent manner. He gives the fullest de tails of criminal statistics, disciplines, and employ ments, worked up with analytical and reflective power, which proves that the author bestows his best energies on the subject. Mr. Mayhew shows by elaborate tables that " females, taken in the aggregate, are considerably less criminal than males ; the entire female prisoners of the country constituting but little more than 20 per cent., and the males as much as 80 per cent., of the gross prison populations of England and Wales." Mr. Mayhew goes on to state that, though in the female portion of our criminals we see a picture of the most frightful depravity and weakness, some rays of human right are yet visible on the dark canvas. He say: p— " They who have studied the idiosyncrasy of these de graded women know that they aro capable, even in their degradation, of the very highest sacrifices for those they love. The majority of the habitual female criminals are connected with some low brute of a man who is either a prize-fighter, or cab-driver, or private soldier, or pick pocket, or coiner, or costermonger, or, indeed, some such character. And for this lazy and ruffian fellow, there is no indignity nor cruelty they will not suffer, no atrocity that they are not ready to commit, and no infamythat they will hesitate to perform, in order that he may con tinue to live half-luxuriously with them in their shame. A virtuous woman's love is never of the same intensely passionate and self-denying character as marks the affection of her most abject sister. To comprehend this, we must conceive the wretched woman shunned by almost all the world for her vice—we must remember that, in many in stances, she has lost every relative and friend, and that even her parents (whose love and care is the last of all to cease) have cast her from them, and that she is alone in the great wilderness of life and care —friendless at the very time when she needs and longs most for a friend to protect and console her. We must endeavour, too, to conceive what must be the feelings of such a woman for the one person, amid all mankind, who seems to sympathise with her, and who is ready to shield her from the taunts and cuffs of the world ; for most strange indeed it is, that those who seem to be the least like women of ail, and appear to be the least loving and self-denying in their natures, should be characterised even in their debasement by the tenderest attribute of the female constitution, and remarkable for a lova that is more generous, more devoted, more patient, and more indomitable than any other." Aldershottana ; or, Chinks in my Hut. Ward and Lock, Fleet-street. This volume is a melange of goesip, introducing courts and camps in a light and, occasionally, rather flippant tone. The author gives a variety of characteristics and incidents of the Crimean Wax ; jumping from feasting revels to fighting realities, and from hospital horrors to horse-racing "larks," with the pen of a ready writer. He jots down the rapid occurrences of military life and duty very amusingly ; but appears to entertain a well justified notion that the general management of the late campaign was anything but creditable to our high authorities, whether they held the key of the commissariat cupboards or the command of cavalry charges. Here is another instance of printed evidence, tending to confirm the universal opinion : "A staff-officer who was on the ground when the dead were collected aid buried, told me that he hail some conversa tion with a Russian general, who ridiculed the idea of at tacking the Redan with poignee (handful) of men. He said, Why did you not send a column of twenty thousand men to push one another into it ?' And when we came to the pit in which they were burying the Blue Jackets, this Russian officer ejaculated, What splendid lions, led by jackasses !' " The description of " A Drawing-room" at St. James's leads one to imagine that the method of conducting our courtly ceremonies is as much to be commended as our arrangements for carrying on foreign hostilities, We are induced to present it to our readers, if only for the sake of the few words uttered by the late " Iron Duke"—words not yet to be considered as falsely prophetic : " The old Palace looked as ugly as ever ; for more than a century and a half little had been done by its royal owners to improve its appearance. One almost regrets that William the Third did not follow the advice given him by k - 'eter the Great, Czar of Muscovy—viz., " To re move his court to Greenwich, and turn St. James's Palace once more into an hospital. a "The visitors began to arrive, slowly enough at first ; then, pauring in in shoals, they ascended the grand stair case uneasily, holding up trains and cards, dissatisfied al ready at being rubbed against, or being compelled to rub their skirts against the picturesque dresses of the Yeomen Guard, posted upon the lobbies as in days of yore. Wea pons of state—partisans and battle axes —which once upon a time had hedged in' the royal person of Henry VIII. at tilts and tournaments, and at the Field of the Cloth of Gold, now gleamed above plumed heads and jewelled brows in the Armoury. " It was in the Tapestry Chamber that the progressive movement of the `glittering throng' was seriously im peded ; a lady could not flirt her fan, or a deputy-lieutenant find room enough to go to the right about without tearing off or injuring his epaulettes. When the gentlemen of the Queen's body-guard closed the barriers, Queen Anne's room was already filled with ' fair women and brave men,' dowagers and debutantes, rustling in silks and satins rare ; officers, knights, and esquires tricked out in splendid uniforms, court dresses, Highland garb, and gala costume jewellery, plumes, and arms, barbaric gold and pearl,' wero mingled together in a magnificent crush,. Gilded spurs got entangled in sweeping trains, dress-swords hitched into lace, ribands, and embroidery; here the clasp of a necklace gave way, and an avalanche of pearls rushed from a swan-like neck to the richly-carpeted floor ; there, a gay, deceptive wig was seen to turn awry ; and ever and anon, above the conventional hum of general conversation murmurs arose, and querulous voices were heard complain ing of the heat, or insisting that doors and windows should be opened and the barriers drawn. " Then the authoritative voices of the Queen's Gentle men at Arms were heard, expostulating, entreating, com manding the Queen's visitors to bide their time and wait with patience and resignation words of weight, but lightly received by the happy individuals well placed in the front, and treated with scorn and derision by the un happy people in the rear ranks, who considered themselves though last, not least' in that goodly company, and justly entitled as true Britons to push and elbow their way in the world—even into the very presence of their Sovereign. "It is neither desirable nor agreeable to ' go to the wall' in a crowd or crush ; nevertheless, it must have been a small gratification to those who were squeezed against the brass railing in Queen Anne's Room to be enabled to cast a longing glance into the cool and cheerful gallery through which those highly-favoured personages who had the entree lounged leisurely towards the Ambassador's Room. " It was indeed a truly refreshing sight to see a peer or a peeress in her own right, a bishop in lawn sleeves, a chancellor or judge in his robes and wig, an Indian prince, or Hungarian magnate or ambassador, shaking out their feathers and finery, putting their best legs forward' be fore they were summoned by the lord with the white rod to form up' in that segment of the inner cirole nearest the throne. Better still to be enabled to look upon the well-known figure of a venerable officer, who slowly ad vanced, and when half way up the gallery halted for a minute at the small table upon w hich the visitors deposit cards or write their names. " Then, while every one in Queen Anne's Room was on tip toe, the words, the Duke ! the Duke 1' p asse d lik e a watch-word from lip to hp, sinking into whispers as the great chief slowly approached. He walked like a man in a dream, wrapped up in the glories of the past; a quiet yet triumphant smile lighted up his countenance as his eye rested upon the pedals upon the breasts of some old war riors leaning against the rails. He looked round from face to face for a second, recognised an officer of rank, upon whose left breast several medals and decorations glittered. " Is Lord de Roos here ?' inquired the Duke, some what abruptly. " ' I have not seen him, sir," responded the old militaire. " Some one volunteered to look for the nobleman who was wanted, bat the Duke slowly walked away, and entered the Ambassador's Room, where ho was addressed by a diplomatist wearing the gold embroidered blue costae of the civil service. The Duke seemed to listen attentively to the communications of the Minister of State ; a cloud passed over his brow as he raised up his eyes, and contem plated the upper part of the tall windows, through which a beam of summer sun streamed into the room, and threw a sort cf hale around that venerable head, and in a sad and solemn voice he uttered these momentous words— " A war with Russia ! if we have a war with Russia, God knows where it will end !'—then, after a pause, he re peated, ' God knows where !' "The Duke was not two paces from me when those words were spoken. He looked like some prophetic seer pro nouncing the doom and destiny of nations. " A burst of martial music from the Park echoed around the courts and the gardei.s. It was the full band of the Life Guards playing the national anthem, God save the Queen.' There was a shout and cheers without—a clatter• big of swords and scabbards, and the sound of carriage• wheels on the gravel walks under the windows announced that the Sovereign had arrived within the precincts of st. James's Palace." NEW YEAR'S DAT IN SCOTLAND.—The police-cells in Glasgow, on New Year's Day, were glutted, and the officers on in-door duty were driven to watch for the returning sobriety of the earliest corners that they might be discharged to make room for fresh arrivals. the cause of this unexpected return to f or mer bad habits may be, it is hard to determine. The simplest explana tion is probably nearest the truth —Glasgow's drouth i. s not to be satified with t e ipperance beverages.--Scota nian. The shops in Greenock- being generally closed, the streets had a dull appearance, and were quite dismal by the number of staggering filtby drunkards, to whom respectable pedestrians had to give way. Numeroua fights took place during the day, some of them of a serious c haracter.—Greenock Advertiser. it. 5) 4t.
