LATEST INTELLIGEN(U (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) (From The Globe of last night) LONDON, MONDAY-EVENING We understand that a new Russian 44 per cent. Loan of 51 millions strafing will be brought out through the agency of Messrs. Baring, Brothers, in this city. The price is 93, and the deposit fixed at 20 per cent. Sub scriptions will, it is said, be received by the above mentioned firm, during the present week. The price appears high, when compared with other foreign securi ties : and as the money is without doubt wanted to defray the costs of the Hungarian war, we must presume that it is intended to preserve intact the bullion said to be stored in the fort at St. Petersburgh. The alteration of the Bank rate of interest on loans is explained by this an nouncement, and will be favourably regarded by the public. If there is capital sufficient for the purpose w►th out an undue circulation of notes, we have no objection to foreign loans in the English market; but with the speculation which has commenced in produce of every description, it is satisfactory to find that the Directors of the Bank are alive to the danger with which any additional excitement wou'd threaten the country. _ PARIS, SUNDAY.—Private letters: from the Depart ments, speak of a new state of uneasiness and agitation, caused by the indecision exhibited by the Legislative Assembly during the discussions of last week. In the arrondisements, where the partial elections are in the course of preparation, the Socialist teachers, whose condi tion was to be decided by the Bill, which was the subject of discussion, were doing their best to continue those feelings. The working-classes had also begun to show symptoms of an unwillingness to work, and of consequent disregard to the authority of the public functionaries. The unaccountable vascillation of the Assembly was as signed as the cause of this state of things. - PAnis.—The new journal Napoleon says, letters from Switzerland speak of a meeting of the Red party at Lausanne on Christmas day; Mazzini and Borchott were present. A letter was read from Ledru Rollin announc ing that everything was ready in France for an attempt at insurrection, and that the 24th of February would pro bably be the day of execution. The National affirms that the expedition to Monte Video was actually in pre paration, notwithstandingthedenial of the Censtitutionnel. Rumours of a coup d'etat, wanting other news, still con tinue current, but they have no foundation. It having been stated that Fould, the Minister of Finance, had made the following observation :—" The National Assem bly is lost in the esteem of the country. It must be put an end to before long ;" the Pattie contradicted the state ment, and cautioned the public not to believe such silly rumours. The names of 50,000 persons, not entitled to vote, have been struck off from the list of voters of Paris. The French fleet has left Ourlac, but its destination is not known. The English fleet is said to have left Mancimese for Malta. The Sultan has presented the Grand Vizar with £20,000, and £lO,OOO to each of the other members ot his cabinet, as a reward for their patriotism .and noble conduct in thwarting the designs of Russia. The assembly, in its sitting of Sarurday, rejected every proposition for the alteration of its place of meeting. Any allusion as to the transitory character of the present legislature was received with approving cheers and laughter. The arrivals in Paris of the Spanish and Italian mails are delayed by the heavy falls of snow. The Illoniteur calls on the public to say who are the high personages, who it says have shared three or four million francs, gained by the forces, rises on the funds, and who are now preparing a fall to profit in a similar manner. The government organ, Constitutionnel, has seven columns of extracts from the provisional press, praising the president and his policy. The president's supposed authorship of the articles in the new journal, Napoleon, causes much talk in Paris, and the 5 per cents. were done to -day at 94 10. A fall ot 15 centimetres con tinues on Saturday's prices. The Globe gives as a rumour that Sir James Duke will second the address in the House of Commons. A Cabinet Council will be held on Thursday next. Lord John Russell was to arrive in town to-day for the season. Sir Charles and Lady Wood return to town to-morrow.

Monday Night The accounts from the continent continue to be of a satisfactory nature, commercially and politically, and there now appears every probability of our having extensive operations with this quarter, both in produce and our ma nufactures, as the spring trade developer itself. The de mand for Coffee, Sugar, and Indigo is on the increase, and prices for these articles are on the advance. During the past week there has been considerable animation observ able in our markets, and higher prices have been obtain able for nearly every article, particularly Coffee and Cot ton, the advance on these two articles being based on legitimate grounds—an undoubted short supply. Tea has also attracted considerable attention, to be attributed en tirely to the faint possibility of a reduction in the duty, and prices have further improved ld. per lb. for the lower descriptions of Congou. Since Friday, 2,000 bags of Ben gal, and 400 hogsheads Demerara Sugar have been sold at rather stiffer prices, and 3,000 bags of Khaur at 295. to 31s. ; Rice is inquired for, and Saltpetre is held for an advance of 2s. to 3s. per cwt., this market having been cleared of the latter article, with the exception of 1,000 bags of inferior, which are held for a similar advance. The remarks made by many parties respecting the late discrepancy between the estimated and actual stock of cotton in this port have been met by the appointment of a committee to investigate the circumstances, chiefly with a view to avoid the reccurrence of similar errors, consisting of Messrs. Hardman Earle (President), J. Stock (Vice-President), James Buchanan, Michael Bons field, Wm. Clare, James Ryley, Peter Serjeantson, and James Hardy Wrigley. We have already given explana tory notices of this affair ; and as the report of the com mittee is rather lengthy, we will content ourselves with a summary of its chief points, i. e.—That less fault is to be found with the system than with the loose mode which has prevailed in making the weekly returns of the business on speculation and for export ; that re-sales of cotton, pre viously purchased for export or on spinners' account, are a fruitful source of error; that the rule which prescribes that all cotton when re-sold under such circumstances shall be returned as " on speculation" have been pretty generally observed, but, unfortunately, the exceptions have been sufficiently numerous to create an aggregate error of some importance ; that a stringent plan might be adopted if the buying brokers would submit to supply weekly returns of the cotton actually forwarded by each for consumption, and to these were added the exportations here and at Hull; but against this plan difficulties are urged, and it is consi dered too great an innovation until a modification, or rather a stricter observance, of the existing plan has been tried and failed. The committee then proceed to recommend that an official return of the real export be obtained weekly at the expense of the association, and signify, in anticipa tion, their approval of Mr. Clare's intended motion, that the returns in future shall be made up to Thursday in clusive, to be sent in before eleven o'clock on Friday, and the sales given out on the latter day at one o'clock ; and further, they approve of Mr. Blackburn's suggestion that every return shall be signed by a principal, the blanks in the forms opposite " speculation" and " export" being filled up with the word " nil" if there be no transactions, thus rendering the omission an act of wilfulness instead of one of mere carelessness. The committee conclude by impressing upon the whole body the necessity for indivi dual accuracy and regularity. The accounts by the Hibernia, which vessel arrived on Wednesday last, further reduce the estimates of the pre sent Cotton crop, and the maximum estimate is now pretty generally put down at 2,200,000 bales, whilst there are several highly-respectable and well-informed houses who write 2,000,000 as being more likely. Be this as it may, notwithstanding highly discouraging accounts from this side, with a decline of Id. per lb., prices advanced there half a cent., which precluded the execution of orders. The shipments were trifling for the season, being only 25,500 bales for the week, and there was no disposi tion to ship on consignment, so that our supplies must unavoidably be greatly retarded for two or three months ; indeed, so strong was the feeling gaining ground that the crop would be a moderate one, and that prices must rule high, that there was a general disinclination to sell. This circumstance, we should suppose, would have the effect of showing to the spinner their confidence in high prices, as well as his receiving back his orders for higher limits. We have reason to know that spinners are driving generally a very profitable trade, particularly those producing the finer numbers of yarns ; and wo hope for all parties con cerned that it may continue. There can he no doubt that they hold light stocks both of twist and cotton ; and this being the case, with the small supply of Cotton coming forward, they will have no easy task before them ; and we hesitate not to say that, with the present uncertainty of future supplies, they would do well to be forearmed by securing a reserved stock upon which they could fall back, if compelled. There are at present several local circumstances in their favour—amongst others cheep car riage and cheap coal—and we wish them every prosperity. Our market prices have gradually advanced since the reception of the Hibernia's advices, and on Friday Ame rican descriptions were fully *d. dearer than at the close of the previous cotton week. On Saturday, there was only a slender attendance of the trade, but none of the buoyancy of the market was lost, and a healthy business resulted, at steady prices, amounting to 8,000 bales, 4,000 of which were a speculation, consisting of 2,500 Ame rican and 1,500 Surats, the latter selling at slightly im proved rates. To-day, we have had a quiet market, but previous rates have been steadily maintained. The de mand has been of a healthy nature, as of the 6,000 bales sold, 5,000 were to the trade. It may here be stated that our present quotations are quite as high as those current at any period of November last. There is a very good demand for Peruvian, and in fact all sorts of foreign Wool; but as stocks are light, there is little choice for buyers, and fresh arrivals are bought up with avidity at advancing prices. The imports for the week ending 12th instant amount to 2,506 Foreign, 82 Irish, and 33 English. The Iron market maintains its firmness, although a dulness pervaded it last week, subsequently to our notice. Scotch pig iron is 48s. 6d. mixed numbers, 495. No. 1, Gartsherrie, No. 1,50 s. to 50s. 6d. • bars £5 15s. f.o.b. here, Wales £5 2s. 6d. to £5 ss. ; nail rods £6 105.; hoops £7 10s. ; sheets £8 ss. ; tin plates 31s. 6d. to 325. best; coke 275. 6d. to 28s. _ _ _ . — The — ;;Tival of vessels (timber-laden) during the past week consists of one vessel only-222 tons. This being the season of the year in which little business is done in timber, the sales are unimportant; added to which the old rates of carriage in timber to Manchester and the neighbourhood having been resumed, will tend still more to keep the market in an inactive state for some time to come. There is no material alteration in prices from our last quotations. We seldom have to remark so decided a difference as that manifested between the English and Irish markets during the past week, the former being all in a declining condition, and the latter presenting an aspect of firmness in all cases, whilst in some an advance in the principal articles of the trade has been obtained. According to the official tables furnished by the Board of Trade, there has been imported during the, week ending the sth of December, 313,254 qrs. of wheat, and 206,498 cwts. of flour, whilst for the eleven months ending the same day the respective quantities amount to 4,288,739 qrs. of wheat, and 3,639,587 cwts. of flour ; and as we are at the present moment not at all heavily stocked, this proves that a very large consumption must have been going on. The consumption of Indian corn in Ireland for 1849asbeing very large; andalthough the arrivals have been unprecedented except during 1847, almost the whole im ported into that country has gone into consumption. We hold at this moment in Liverpool about 200,000 quar ters of this grain. As regards future prospects, although prices are Ft present going up for this article, and 2s. 6d. per ton has been pretty generally obtained for the best Galatz in Ireland, it is now an established fact that the poor law unions, which were before such large consumers, have curtailed their issues to the poor mote than half, a policy in which opinions are entertained they will perse vere; and from this and other causes it is considered that the amount consumed will be considerably less this year than last ; but this depends mainly upon oatmeal, bar ley meal, coarse flour, and other cheap articles of food being easy to purchase. In Liverpool, to-day, as there are more spectators than speculators, there is no change to note on the quotations of Friday. The American provision trade has improved since our last notice (a fortnight back). Beef is more inquired for, and 400 tierces of new have been sold at 65/ to 82/6 per tierce, according to quality. Pork has also been in better demand : a small quantity of Eastern sold for 56/ per brl. Cheese has been in better inquiry, without improvement in price. Bacon is 1/ to 1/6, and Lard Gd. to 1/ per cwt. dearer. Despite the severity of the weather, the price of Irish Butter have not varied ; the demand having continued on a limited scale, and the supply of fresh butter not having shewn any diminution in the country markets of this district. There is a fair inquiry for new Irish Bacon at 38s. to 40s, for long middles, free from bone. The Share irarket has been buoyant all week, with a g at increase of good business.

LONDON CORN MARKET.-YESTERDAY The spew of Wheat this morning from the neighbouring counties was moderate, and by land carriage samples and attendance being thin, the currency of Monday last was barely maintained. The business done in foreign was only to a mode rate extent, and quotations remain unaltered. The inquiry for Barley, Beans, and Peas is limited, and the rates of Monday last are with difficulty supported.

We would suggest to the ma nager occasionally to give the pantomime the precedence, for the accommodation of the Cheshire folks, and to allow the juveniles, this holiday time, to see it without being kept out to a late hour. MARVELLOUS ESCAPE. — A railway accident occurred on Friday, in Messrs. Headford and Sage's brickyard, Upper Easton. A son of Mr. James Heedford was hurry ing across the line, when the half-past three o'clock train came by and struck him on the right shoulder, conveying him a few yards up the line, where he fell close to the rail. The whole train passed over his body, but luckily he escaped with a slight cut on the back of the head, a bruise on one shoulder, and some slight injuries on one side of the face, which was grazed by the ash-box of the engine. When picked up he was senseless, but quickly recovered, and is doing well.—Bristol Mercury. PHILHARMONIC CONCERT. — The Soiree Musicale last night was numerously and fashionably attended, and all the pieces gave great satisfaction. Several of the per formers were deservedly encored. The programme em braced a judicious selection from Maldelssohns Four-part Songs, German quartette, &c. The solos by Mrs. Robin son on the piano-forte were exquisite. There were many complaints of the coldness of the room, and the directors will, no doubt, remedy this defect. The Rov. Speneer Thornton, Vicar of Wendover, Bucks, and brother-in-law of C. G. Dupre, Esq., M-P. for Bucks, was walking along New Road, London, on Saturday, when he was observed to stagger and fall. A surgeon was sent for, but the reverend gentleman had ceased to live. He was only forty years of age, and has left a widow and eight children to deplore his loss. SPECIAL MEETING OF THI HEALTH COM MITTEE, YESTERDAY. A special meeting of the sub-committee of the Health Committee was held yesterday, for the purpose of dis cussing the clauses of the Sanatory Bill. Before open ing the proceedings deputations were admitted_ from the Guardian Society, and the Horseowners' Society. There were present Councillors Parker, (in the chair, i Thomson, Bennett, Walthew, Hugh Hornby, Hodson, Morris, Fer guson, and Picton. The deputations consisted of Messrs. James Holme, Bradley, Reay, (Secretary to the Guardian Society,) W. Jones, (Secretary to the Houseowners' Guardian Society,) H. G. Ireland, &c, Mr. PARKER announced that the Town-clerk would read the bill, clause by clause, when the gentlemen who had attended as deputations could state any objections to their provi visions. After the preamble had been read, Mr. JAMES HOLME expressed his opinion that from the multitude of bills before the town, and in operation, it would be very advisable that the present bill should not be pro ceeded with this year, and remarked that all parties inter ested might in the meantime communicate wit h the Health Committee, in order to produce such a measure as would he satisfactory to all. Mr. Picton coincided in this re commendation. A conversation then took place, in which several members joined ; during which the Town-clerk, having been appealed to as to whether the Btating and Sanatory Acts could be amalgamated, so that parries erecting buildings could have before them, at once, the whole of the restrictions and regulations imposed upon them, intimated that Parliament might probably o'iject, and that in making the application the opportutiity of legislation during the present year would be lost. The clauses were then read, to enable the sub-committee to report to the general body what were the objections urged against them, and to make their report of the out town- Clauses 1 to 15 related to the sewerag ships; and Mr. Newlands explained the difficulties which exist under the present act. The various townships are placed under the management of a separate surveyor, who makes a plan of sewers, the cost cf carrying out winch is paid by borrowing upon the security of the rates of such townships, to be repaid within a certain term of years. A difficulty was experienced from the circumstance that many of the out townships had to be drained through neighbouring townships, and frequently when the sewers of one were prepared, the necessary means of carrying off their contents were not prepared. It was also an objec tion to the present bill that the sewerage rates pressed most onerously upon those out townships which were only partially built upon; and in forming sewers from such townships it was impossible to ascertain beforehand in what manner unemployed land would he laid out. At pre sent the cost of forming drains and sewers falls upon the owners of the built upon portion of the townships only. The amended act proposed to make a set of large mains, and to divide the assessment for the cost equitably over the whole property of each township. It was objected by several members of the deputations and others, that some portions of such land were to be severed under the act for fifty years. Mr. Newlands shewed that the plan proposed would materially lessen the pressure upon the owners of the houses in the out.town ships, whilst it would be very light upon the owners of the unbuilt upon land. Mr. W. JONES, secretary to the Houseow•ners Society, objected to tax a large quantity of land which might never be wanted to be built upon; and expressed his opinion, that the proposition would be regarded as monstrous by the landowners. Mr. PARKER reminded the deputation that the Health Committee were compelled to regard the question in a sanatory point of view. They were bound to drain by their present. act of Parliament, and if they did not Go thAm_ If they carved out this bill, which throws the cost upon household property, its owners would be ruined. Several questions were put to Mr. Newlands, as to the operation of the bill upon those parties who had already paid sewerage rates for many years, and who would have to pay again for a sewer when at length made. A clause was pointed to (22) which pro vided that in such cases the money previously paid in rates would be refunded, but it was not distinctly stated by whom, or whether to the tenant or bouseowner. Mr. REAY called attention to the ~ nain principle of the bill as to sewerage, which was the rating of the owners of unbuilt-upon land. The TOWN-CLERIC explained that the principle was not new. Under the existing act land was expressly subjected to be rated, but much of it being unproductive coma run oe lain. as IL HIM Lit/ zitl ••••• - of the present bill was to enable the Council to get the rates upon such property, which, though unproductive at present, is very valuable, A long conversational discussion took place, during which the Town-clerk explained their position under the present act, and shewed what would be the alteration made in the amended act. Mr. H. HORNBY thought that the sub-committee ought now to state whether or not they were satisfied with the principle of the bill. It was clear that if they went on under their present bill it would be almost ruinous, and the rates upon household property would be fearful. They could not stand still, for Government would come down upon them with a Government Bill and do what they liked with them. Mr. PICTON, after stating that he did not care for these threatsaboutaovernment bills, said hewas satisfied with the general act, and having said this, he would add that he approved of the principle of the bill before them. Mr. TtiomsoN stated that the Earls of Sefton and Derby, would oppose the bill.—On being asked for his authority, he explained that they had auther.sed him to say o Mr_ Meatus supposed a case of a party, or parties, erecting household property on the skirts of the borough, and calling upon the owners of two or three miles of intervening agricultural laud to tax themselves about 295. per acre to pay for it. Mr. NEWLANDS replied that it would be quite as unjust if the owners of such houses had to make the two or three miles of farming land at their own expense. The Committee proceeded to consider the 16th, 17th, and 18th clauses, enacting that the sewerage, paving, watching and lighting rates be collected from the owners instead of the occupiers. Dr. BRADLEY and Mr. JONES, on behalf of the House-owners' Guardian Society, expressed their objec tion to the principle of these clauses. It would press most unjustly upon the owners of cottage property who could not raise their rents. The owners of superior pro perty might be enabled to put on an increased rate. Mr. H. HORNBY had no doubt that the owners of cot tage property would like to pay no rates at all. In jus tice, however, they had a perfect right to pay as well as others. Hitherto the rates on such property had not been called for, owing to the cost of collection, and the owners seemed to think that they had a vested right to put the money in their own pockets. Mr. CAPES AsnLIN (called upon by the Chairman) gave a statement of the proportion of rates collected under the present system. In 1847 and 1848 73 per cent. was collected for the whole of Liverpool, 10 Kirkdale 64 Everton, 70 West Derby, 63 Toxteth-park. He cal culated that, if the assessment was upon the owners, not above 10 per cent. of the whole amount would be lost. Mr. PICTON oppostd the principle of the clauses, which. he contended, was unjust to the owners of property. The cottage owners especially would be injured, having already sufficient difficulty in getting even rents, from the dis• tressed condition of many of their tenants. If the clause applied to tenants.at-will, and they had power to deduct the rates from the landlord, it would render necessary a new agreement. The TOWS-CLERK intimated that it was intended to embrace tenants-at-will. Mr. PICTON contended that thus, until that new ar rangement was made, the landlord would lose the amount of the rates. Mr. HORNBY stated that, if the Council did not pro- Sanatory Bill, there were parties in cced _ the town wh . O would at once call for the interferenc. the Government. He showed that, by the enactments of the General Sanatory Bill, in the case of all property under £lO per year, and for which the rent is paid oftener ,essed and pay a c than quarterly, the owner may be as position for his tenants. Mr. JONES also opposed the clauses Mr. JAMES HOLME thought that if these rates were to go on parties would be prevented from building, and he for one would not advise the laying of a single brick in Liverpool. The Council were destroying the very pro perty they were appointed to guard, He himself could go out on the Bury Railway and buy land for a tenth of the price in Liverpool, yet be as near the Liverpool Ex change as if he was at Edge-hill. He could also get his brick clay for 6d., whereas he was now paying 4s. (id. As to the landlord getting the rates from his tenants, he could give an example from some property of his own for which he paid the rates, and could not get a shilling from his tenants. He was confident that the result of adopting these clauses would be to reduce the returns of the whole of the property of Liverpool. Several other gentlemen addressed the sub-committee in very energetic terms. Mr. REAY, of the Guardian Society, submitted that a provision should be made to protect the owner of pro perty let from year to year, from the loss which he must sustain before he can make a new arrangement with the tenants. Mr. WALTHEW suggested that a clause should be in serted to meet cases where landlords got no rents at all. (Laughter.) He ought not to pay rates. The TOWN-CLERK said that he had written in such cases, in the margin of the act, " clauses strongly ob jected to." Clause 21, giving power to the Council to carry th main outlets beond the boundaries of the borough, Mr.e NEWLANDS explained that the clause was not intended to be carried out in the present undetermined state of the question as to the value of sewage manure. Mr. REAY submitted that some limit should be placed to the powers sought for in the clause. The clause also gave power to buy lands outside the borough for the depo sit and sale of the manure of the town. Mr. Parker re minded the sub-commitee that the question would have to come before the Council, who would take care that no powers were exercised injuriously to the interests of the burgesses. _ Mr. BENNETT rose (at ten minutes past three) to say that an important meeting of the water committee had to meet in a short time, and suggested an adjournment, which however was overruled. Clause 22 was agreed to. Clause 23, regulating the levels at which streets should be laid out for the purpose of drainage, was objected to by Mr. Picton on the ground that it would interfere with the right of individuals to lay out their land as they considered best for their advantage, and contended that all that the Council had a right to insist upon was that any houses erected on it should be so drained as not to be a nuisance to the public. It was most dangerous to attempt to lay down any given rule as to how a man should lay out his land. It was ultimately arranged that a power of appeal should be given. Clauses 24, 25, and 26, were passed, the latter with a slight modification, as were 27, 28, and 29. Mr. New lands explained that there had been a general misappre hension with respect to the subject of water closets. It was rot intended that parties should be compelled to erect water closets in their houses. All that was intended was to convert privies in yards into water closets of a simr !onstruclion, by which the refuse ;natter would be removed at a considerable savily , to the town Mr. JAMES HOLME c posed plan was quite it classes in the town.
