The Maine House of Representatives, by a vote of 83 yeas to 34 nays, had passed the following resolutions in relation to the intervention of Russia against Hungary : "Resolved, That we earnestly desire that the General Government of the United States may exert an influence, in some wise and proper manner, against all such inter vention in future." Resolutions declaring that the United States ought to interfere in the affairs of Hungary, had been tabled in the Ohio Senate.

The Washington correspondent of the New York herald says, " There is something extraordinary going on. The navy department is actively engaged in ordering vessels to prepare for sea, and in collecting supplies and munitions of war. Among other things, the Mediter ranean squadron is to be strengthened by two additional vessels. In the Pennsylvania Legislature a resolution had passed a second reading, and been ordered to be engrossed, On Wednesday evening last, the President suspended the receptions which had been given every week since 1830 at the official residences of the various Ministers. The reason of this was to pay honour to the memory of Louis XVI. on the anniversary of his execution ; a mark of respect which was duly appreciated by the Legitimists, whom Louis Napoleon seems exceedingly desirous of con ciliating. Masses were c. lebaated for the murdered mo narch from 9 to 12 o'clock that day in most of the churches of Paris. The Minister of War, by a decision of the 16th instant, has acceded to General Cavaignac's demand to be placed on theretired_list of the army. A telegraphic despatch, dated Paris, Friday morning, brings intelligence of a change in the French Ministry. MM. De Morny, Rouher, and Fould leave the ministry, and are replaced by MM. de Persigny, Minister of the Interior, Abbattucci, Minister of Justice, and Binault, Minister of Finance, &c. M. de Maupas is gazetted as Minister of Police. Another new Ministry, named Ministry of State, is created, and occupied by M. Casa. bianca. The cause of this change is said to be , the unwillingness of the outgoing ministers to be parties to the spoliation of the Orleans family. Be this as it may, a series of decrees has been issued, countersigned by M. Casabianca, the new Minister of State, the first of which enacts that the mem bers of the Orleans family, their husbands, consorts, and descendants, cannot possess any property (moveable or immoveable) in France. They are bound to sell them within the year, and in default they will be sold by the State. Another decree cancels the donation made by Louis Philippe on the 7th of August, 1830, to his children, and enacts that their properties, of about two h un d re d millions of francs, s h a ll be em ployed as follows :—Ten millions to societies of secours mutuels.

Six persons had lost their lives at an emigrants' board ing-house, in New York, owing to a false alarm of fire. Three of the sufferers are named John Clennan, John Wm. Dalton, and Mary Murphy. The New York Journal of Commerce says, " It has been stated in the public press, that the Adriatic, which name it is proposed to give to a fifth steamer in the Collins' Line, is soon to be launched. This is not the case. Her keel has not yet been laid. Probably the company are waiting to ascertain the result of their appli cation for pecuniary aid from Government. The four steamers already running are, however, sufficient to per form the contract, which obliges them to carry a mail each way every fortnight between this port and Liverpool." Eleven persons had been killed near Savannah by the explosion of a steamer's boiler. The ship George Washington, Captain Cummings, cleared at the New Orleans Custom-house on the 27th ult., for Liverpool, with a cargo of 5,501 bales of cotton, being by odds the largest cargo ever shipped from or to any port. The weight of her cargo is 2,298,872 and is valued at 166,440 dollars 10 cents. She is 1,534 tons burthen. She was loaded in nineteen running days, of which seventeen were working days. It is said that a considerable emigration of slaveowners, with their slaves, is going forward from North Carolina to California. Later accounts from California had reached New York, but there is no striking feature in the news; on the whole, however, it is interesting and encouraging, especially to those who have relatives and friends in the land of gold. It would appear as if civilization was making rapid strides in California. Balls and dinners have recently been given there, which, for the profusion of delicacies and extent of choice dishes that were served to the guests, rival those given at the Astor or Irving House, in New York, on important occasions. The Indian difficulties were at an end, or nearly so, it is believed the damage was much exaggerated in the first place. Two companies of volun teers were organised in the city of San Francisco to pro ceed against them ; but, as their services were not required, they were disbanded. The people of California labour under great inconvenience for the want of a circulating medium. There is a great deficiency of gold coin of small denominations, and also of silver, and the consequence is that both bear a premium. From Vera Cruz, Mexico, we have unimportant advices to the 26th ult. Advices from Northern Mexico state that Caravajal was about to resume the offensive. We have advices from San Juan to the Ist instant, but they contain no intelligence from the interior. Munoz was at Leon. Valparaiso accounts mention that the Copiapo Railroad was nearly completed. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NRW YORK, JAN. 14. Money continues in abundant supply, on call, and loans are making at 7 per cent , and occasionally at 6 per cent. The demand for paper is good at 6 t o 9 p er cent. for first-class, with moderate supply. The demand for exchange for this steamer and the rates are steady. Sterling, 10 to 101; France, 5.15 to 5.121; Bremen, 781 to 781; Amsterdam, 411 to 41f. The Merchants' Insurance Company, at Buffalo, has been compelled to suspend operations, having lost over 400,000 dol lars on policies within the last two months. There has been an active demand for Cotton since the sailing of the Pacific, which has been freely met by holders, hut prices notwithstanding have advanced Id. to id. p er lb. Th e sales are about 10,000 bales. Floar has been in quiet demand, without much ifany change in prices.

Wheat con tinued quiet—only 4,000 bushels L. 1., red and white fetching 96c. to I dol. Corn is unaltered, the business comprising 13,500 bushels mixed Western with yellow Southern, at 65c. to 66c.; and white ditto at 68c. to 70c. Provisions have been very quiet, sales having been made of 200 barrels pork and 100 beef, at former prices ; 100 barrels beef hams in lots at 813 25, and 250 prime old lard at 9c. a 94c. Batter was in moderate demand, at lic. to 18c. for Ohio and State ; but cheese ruled heavy, at 64c. to 74c. per lb. for fair to choice.

The policeman, sustained by his companions, refused to retire, and the priest, with the remainder of the congregation, withdrew to a short distance, and performed divine ser vice in the open air. THE SYNOD OF THURLES.—The first case of disobe dience to the decrees of the Synod of Thurles has occurred, Dr. O'Toole, the vice-president of the Queen's College, Galway, having refused to give up his office in accordance with the command that all ecclesiastics should cease to be connected with these institutions. The orthodox Evening Freeman is so horrified at the idea of any resistance to the injunctions of Mother Church, that it refuses to believe the statement. THE " WORLD" NEWSPAPER.—A conditional order has been granted in the Court of Queen's Bench. Dublin, in the case of " Birch v. Somerville," for a new trial to allow the parties to argue the question of the legality of the Earl of Clarendon having been allowed to give his evidence upon his honour as a peer a of being swor as an ordinary witness. The Lord Chief Justice does not doubt the law, hut gave the parties an opportunity of arguing it if they think proper. ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE.—A third edition of the Daily Express, issued at five o'clock on Saturday evening, states that as Mr. George Morant, the agent of the Shirley estates, in Monaghan, was walking in his garden on Friday, a gun was discharged at him by some person concealed behind the wall. The shot happily proved harmless, although Mr. Morant had a narrow escape, as some of the slugs with which the piece was '4 , 1 enter , '"he scene of this outrare is close NI his hat to the town of Carrickmacross ATTACK ON LORI) CLANRICARDE'S AGENT.—Robert D'Arcy, Esq., of Woodville, justice of the peace, and agent to the Marquis of Clanricarde, was attacked by two men on. Tuesday evening last, when on his way home in his gig from Loughrea. One of the ruffians seized the reins of his horse, and struck Mr. D'Arcy on the forehead with a stone, which threw him backward in the gig, while the other assaulted him with a heavy stick, and inflicted a severe wound on the right side of his head near the temple. The men then attempted to drag him out of the gig, but were prevented by the arrival of one of Mr. D'Arcy's herds. The outrage is considered to have been committed to revenge some recent evictions on parts of the Marquis's property, over which Mr. D'Arcy is agent. The perpo. trators escaped. The police are on the look out for them. A STRANGE IMPOSTOR.—A young woman, about 19 years old, who gave the name of Georgiana Lett, has been apprehended at Dunshaughlin, as a vagrant and impostor, under circumstances of some singularity. She stated that she was the daughter of a private gentleman, who was formerly a police officer, and resided in St. Paul's-square, Liverpool. She had taken some " white money" from his desk, paid her passage by steamer to Dublin, where some of her clothes were stolen, and was endeavouring to reach her relations, named Armstrong, in the county Meath, when travelling by a public car she was stopped by the police, at Dunboyne, on account of her apparent inability to take care of herself. On being sent to the workhouse, till her friends could be written to, she was not treated as a pauper, but was taken charge of by the matron. It was, however, in due course discovered that she had gone by the names of Armstrong and Hunt ; that she had no friends residing in Liverpool, and that her name and description, as a notorious impostor, were in the Hue and Cry, It is believed that she is the girl who was villanously assaulted a short time ago in the south of Ire land by a carman ; and that she was then considered an idiot. Among her other accomplishments. she is said to be able to feign insanity and epilepsy to perfection. ATTEMPT TO MURDER.—On Tuesday last, Mr. Mere dith Chambre, a gentleman residing at Hawthorn-hill, near Newry, after attending the Forkbill petty sessions, was returning home in his car, accompanied by his brother and his butler, when, on reaching the townland of Dri matee, two shots were fired at him. He was dreadfully wounded by the discharges, eight small bullets having entered his head, neck, and face. The assassins, believed to have been five in number, bad lain partially concealed under a slight shelter on the side of the road, and made off the moment they had effected their diabolical purpose. Active pursuit was, however, immediately set on foot, and several parties were arrested on suspicion, to two of whom it is said the crime is likely to be brought home. Mr. Chambre, directly after the occurrence, was conveyed to a neighbouring roadside house. where most of the bullets were extracted. One, however, in the upper part of his head still remains, though it is hoped that this also will be extracted, and it is believed that the life of the sufferer is not in ireminert danger. The persons apprehended appear to belong to a Ribbon society ; and Mr. Chambre it is stated has been well aware for some time that he was what i called a " marked man," and always when out carried arms. He was one of two magistrates who, a few days before the event above noticed, committed a school. master to take his trial for writing threatening letters. aon, of Liverpoc ,e same or the like princip tion, or i Mr. Webster appeared for the pl for the defendant, and affidavits i tot' ried effect of the moist humid, pm The defer stributed in an absorbent material posed to heat, evolver' steam or moisture, Dsing papers, &c., from fire of Lon- substantially n. and were an infring, ad been brought by tt e infringement. and trie don. but which the plait wade Tanted to 'M ing to Milner's Inve An actin Patent ast the continued to sell the 11( MEd dat i by the d for the plaintiff, the defendant's f Exceptions to the direction of the 'ruction of Mr. Milner's specification. rdict, the defendant Harrison had s and Safes complained of, and the stiff proved the recent sale by defeu ntific witnesses stated was substan- hick the Court inter• 'vet! that Tann's specifi a dry non-conductor t I when the fire 1 which pervaded the nor.- al with moisture, and thereby protected the - s.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT CALCUTTA.—A dreadful ac cident occurred on the 10th of November last at Calcutta, in the mosque erected by Prince Goolam Mahomed, a son of Tippoo Saib. This prince was in the habit, for many years, of distributing warm clothing to the poor, at the Musjid, on the commencement of the cold season. This year, owing to the death of the Prince's mother, the dole has been delayed beyond the usual period ; but on the 10th November a report got abroad that the alms were to be distributed, and an immense crowd of beggars collected at the Musjid, and pressing open one of the gates, they rushed in in a tumultuous mass. The consequence was, that many were borne down and trampled under foot. Nine were killed outright, and numbers were carried to the hospital very seriously injured. - At Tette]Wall's,Yesterday week, the owner of Woolwich con sidered his horse so " well in " for the Chester Cup, that he actually laid 1000 sovs to 2 against him.

Total, 222, To the EDITOR of the LIVERPOOL STANDARDb a d an enlivening effect upon the sporting world. If the time be tween this and the race prove half so exciting as it was lag year, it will do; and if a large entry would at all conduce to excitement, doubtless we are going to experience plenty. The same stable which " t o p s " t h e li st also concludes it, the differ' ence between the two weights being sst. 31b. Some nags are better "in" than others, which is always the case in handicap ping, but, on the whole, I contend that the weights have bees cleverly adjusted. Newminster has been already struck out; and although it is generally believed that the last year's winner will accept and start, I consider it very dubious, it being illl - for her to give her stable companion (by no means as impostor) 3st. 91b. •, however, to this and to all else I have ta say, I had better add, that "twice alone can prove results." The entry for this leviath an race consists of 208 animals and constitutes 8 aged, 14 six, 31 fi ve, 7 3 four, and 43 three.yeatt old. To make a speedy selection from this number, I intend to choose two nags of each age, and then select a quarto froth the ten. These are Cossack and Vampyre, aged; Elthiroo a nd Old Dan Tucker, six ; Rnssborougn and The Abbess of Jet: veaux. five; Hesse Homburg and Grand Duke, four; and High Sheriff and Koh-i-Noor, three-years-old. The three's of this year don't average so well as the three's of last year; and I don't think the w i nner o f this year's en p will be found in this age. I expect a four to be the age, though it is not unlikely an aged may prove the winner, should it not prove a four-years' nag. However, to proceed to the selection of my quarto; and, with regard to weights, I would ask how le, it with old Vampy re ? 'Ti s true he has not done anything e lt late, but that is not to say that he is not capable of performing a feat with Est. lull). Eight stones and upwards were flit weights last year; but with the fo rmer we i ght, upon heart' ground, ground, and i n good condition, I know not what he may not do. The horse that is continually told to "get out a ear ude way" would indeed be out of the way were he not to app on the Chester course with 7st. 51b. Old Dan Tucker is every whit a race-horse, and I don't forget the " towelling" he gave to Vati can at the Newmarket Second October Meeting, last year, is the sweepstakes of £llOO. But the nag which more especiallf comes under my notice, in this light, ierGrand Duke. Knowing his superior qualities, I may say, unerringly, his exquisite qua' lities, I cannot help asserting that this, added to the most satisfactory weight, 6st. 61b., ought to insure him the winner, at all events if he keeps up the same good condition until the day which he now possesses. lam assured nothing can at all come up to him. fliere is not a doubt he places all of his owl' age safe, and this is not saying a little; however, I assert this dependent, of course, upon circumstances, and I only hope that the circumstances io which I now allude may be so favour able as to admit of my hope in him as the winner being rea lized. I have previously alluded to High Sheriff, presuming that lie will prove the Nancy-stable representative, and with him I form my Quarto. My choice is Augur and Kingston for the Derby; Red Hind for the Oaks. Upon the Liverpool Steeple-Chase I must not forget totouch. They still persist to weight a particular friend of mine—Sir John ; he topped the list l a st y ear , and he tops it this; and the only difference between this and last year will be that he in. tends to win it this, as he just missed it last, owing to the brook-match between Peter Simple and Tipperary Boy. How ever, should any accident happen, Maria Day will be thy next choice. The Abbess of Jerveaux ought to pull through for the Spring Cup.
