JANUARY 22, 1856.] B "THERN AND TOXTETH HOSPITAL. • TAV annual meeting of the subscribers and friends of t hi s ' l3sti tution was held at the Clarendon-rooms, at twelve o'clock, ! e t er claY; Samuel Job, Esq., in the chair. he ClummAlT, in opening the proceedings, said he had : I tch pleasure in announcing to the gentlemen present that was the fourteenth annual meeting of the subscribers of *413 institution, and that the report on this occasion had a 41°1. e cheering aspect than it showed last year. By the _easnrer's accounts it appeared. that the donations and sub sPtions reac h e d th e h an d some sum of nearly £3,000. This poo llt n had been chiefly subscribed by the merchants of Liver %l' who knew the value of the institution. He called u p on e Re v. J. Robberds to read the annual report. Prom 1-1, REPORT. p a - -ae return, carefully prepared by the house-surgeon, p li'v e ,ars that during the past year there have been 3,748 th e . e ‘ a 'lons for medical and surgicalrelief. Of these, from admission natum of the cases, 1,276 were such as to require troaiLsslon into the hospital, while the remaining 2,472 . were cr e „ e d as out-patients. These numbers exhibit a slight de tie as compared with the preceding year. the above cases no less thau 2,816 were accidents, ex ofetnee thus continuing to prove conclusively the necessity vs aospital in this locality, by the indispensable aid afforded s m lese urgent cases in which distance, and consequent delay pad,.."'u prolong the agony of the sufferer, and increase the ger of death. Of the 20 submersion cases, all recovered, ti c : 11] ,g the v a l ue of the internal arrangements of the institu re„„, oY Which a hot bath is always instantly available . for the it e ion of such cases. of w class of in-patients has included no less than 99 cases b i ,,.° ll nds of the head and face ; a larger number than in any iv ea nou s year. These are cases which in most hospitals are ease ued, for their extreme liability to erysipelas. In the few pi, B in which this has Occurred recovery has invariably taken kV. Two instances of erysipelas in the arm have, however, d ovt Ved fatal ; but these were in very old me n, with broken- Constitutions, whose cases were hopeless when admitted. tli a „ +ll Proportion of deaths is greater by about one-seventh I lts ', ll l the preceding year, but the number of hopeless cases a uh aiso been greater, thus virtually reducing it to almost the 3,e rate. 11 4 1°.1n the continued prevalence of high prices and other h oe oidable causes, the expenses of the hospital have again Pr e llll , e avY, and the committee continue to be painfully im 44sea by the great disproportion between the expenditure the regular income. For the present, indeed, the ,u_BPital is released from the burden of debt which had ac taiimulated, and the committee think it only due to two of cit. members, Mr. Farnworth and Mr. Aikin, to record here b riti el r grateftd sense of the obligation to them which the ex e ,,, it al is under, for their most generous and successful "ions, -and . also to the donors by whom those exertions i s re bee n so lib era ll y me t. B u t the result of such exertions pr e t ai nlY to release the hospital from temporary difficult y and tli''are- The chronic disproportion between t he income and e ß)enditure must again encumber the institut i o n w ith a b ° is w ing weight of debt, for the removal of which it would not v l 'aclent or reasonable to rely upon. a renewal, from time to r e f: , of such extraordinary efforts as have just been gratefully I w l:led to ; and it will become necessary, either to procure,by Of extended subscription-list, or other means, an increase i ito ot less than XBOO per annum in the regular an certin eit A .Yle; to maintain the institution in its present state a of op e ' e neY, .or else to curtail most seriously the beneficial ro_ration of the hospital, which is already restricted, for the ga m Part, to those urgent and acute cases, which it would be th e e at impossible to turn away from the doors. So far are C e emmittee from being willing to acquiesce in this latter o;;rnative, that they would greatly desire, did their financial la ffi l a tl en permit, to increase the number of beds to one i;'red, so as to raise the hospital to the rank of a chartered foo!ltution with the privilege of taking pupils, from whom to„Yould ' be receivable, and recognition as a medical and la school. Could this extension be prudently effected, a Cater mount of good could be done with a less propor aadlate expense, as the requisite accommodation already exists, toe the present staff of officials would scarcely require to be ti oh rea sed. Such an elevation of the character of the institu the' Would be attended with the important advantage, that knjupils would relieve the house-surgeons of the most irk e-ttir and laborious of their duties, and thus lessen the diffi to of finding eligible candidates for the office, which, owing W 'e demand created by the war, and the competition of it(t)tre lucrative and important situations, the committee have a e r l 3 l found to be exceedingly great; and the higher terms %Zen it has, consequently, become necessary to offer, consti- I me unavoidable source of increased annual expense. of'ue committee have to lament the recent removal by death tl iti °l 'e of the oldest and firmest friends of the hospit al, their s ea -este eme d v i c e-president, the late Joseph Brooks Yates, Ow ho was greatly instrumental to the original establishm - a l t of the institution, indefatigable in promoting its inte aade as President during the first eight years of its existence, 1 0 0ontinued to the last to devote to it much generous per pros', and pecuniary aid. It was his often and earnestly ex rest wish that the hospital should assume the elevated g` and attain to the more extended usefulness above sug tin„ed as desirable, and it would be a source of great satisfac pia`te to the committee, if the finances of the hospital could be fe asi e d, in so healthy and satisfactory a state as to make it pr;4 3l e to accomplish his wish, thus . paying . the most appro frreacei. tribute to the memory of its principal founder and t„The return of patients showed that 3748 had been under ter;atraent during the year, of whom 3392 request;,ha been cured ; 61 ' ey d ; 94 discharged at their own dead 77; under k e a tien tm t e s n t 88.

TILE ROYAL MAIL PACKET, for Melbourne, will be despatched this day at noon. It is the Sardiniml, Captain Sheridan, and is one of the celebrated " White Star" line. The Sardinian is an exceedingly trim-looking vessel, built upon beautiful lines, and so nicely rigged in proportion.to her build as to give assurance of excellent sailing qualities ; indeed, these have been already tested in her exceedingly rapid voyage from America to Liverpool, and also her quick and pleasant run from San Francisco to New York, in which she eclipsed the Sovereign of the Seas. These qualities, com bined with the superior style of her passenger accommodation, and the experience and gentlemanly conduct of her commander, have rendered her a favourite with passengers ; and she carries out with her a full and fair average of passengers, together with a large and valuable cargo, and a very heavy mail. On Friday morning, about eight o'clock, the new auxiliary screw steam propeller ship Royal Charter, Captain Boyce, belonging to the Australian Steam Navigation Company, started on her first voyage to Melbourne. This fine ship having been built on the approved lines of a clipper, and being furnished with powerful steam-engines to propel her when the winds fail, she is expected to make a very rapid passage, and the news of her rate of sailing is looked forward to with much interest. She carried out a fair complement of passen gers (250 in all), of whom 54 were first-class, She had also a full cargo, 300 tons having been left behind for want of stow age room. Although there was a mail ship left this port twelve days ago, the mail carried by the Royal Charter was a very large one, consisting of about fifty bags. The next mail to arrive from Melbourne will be by the Champion of the Seas,belonging to the "Black Ball" line,which was to have left Melbourne on the 25th of October last, snaking her now 88 days out, so that, judging by her run, under Capt. Newlands, to and from Melbourne, on her first voyage, she is now considerably over due, and is looked for with anxious expectation. The Salem, one of Messrs. Magee, Levingston, and Wal thews's "Liverpool" line, is on the berth taking in passengers, and is advertised to sail in a few days. She has a large cargo already on board, and is filling up well. A notice has been posted at the General Post-office, Sydney, stating that his Excellency the Governor-General has been pleased to appoint that the vessels of the " Black Ball " line shall leave Melbourne with the return mail on the 25th of each month, and the vessels of the " White Star " line on the 10th of each month. ST. PAUL'S CHURCH ANNUAL TEA PARTY. THE annual tea-party and Protestant demonstration in connection with St. Paul's Church, was held last night, in the Condbrt-hall, Lord Nelson-street, and, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, there being a cold drizzling rain all day, was numerously attended. The refreshments were provided by Mr. Milbourn, of Clarence-street, and were as usual of first-rate qualty. The Rev. GEORGE REED, incumbent of St. Paul's, was in the chair, and, when Grace after meat had been sung in a very creditable manner by the choir, commenced the proceed ings in a brief address. The Rev. V. M. WHITE said he regretted that, owing to another important engagement, the time he could devote to them was so very limited. When called upon to attend a death-bed, he never questioned what church the sufferer had attended, his .only concern was that faith in our Saviour which was the religion'of Protestants. He read in a publica tion the other day about the triumph over Protestantism with reference to Bible-burning. He did not know what Protestantism had to do with it; they did not burn Bibles, nor had they-any thing to do with the prosecution of those who did. It was conducted by a Romanist Attorney-General, and a pretty mess was made of it. He contended that Protestantism reverenced the Almighty, while Romanism honoured the creature more than the Creator ; and thus was rank idolatry. He liked Protestantism, because it was the bulwork of civil and religious liberty, while Romanism was the nursery of tyranny and despotism. He liked Protestantism also, because it directed the sinner to the only remedy, the fountain which had been opened for all sin and uncleanness. Mr. White then explained that, owing to the enormous number of tickets which had been taken for the meeting at St. George's-ball, this day (Tuesday), exceeding the means of ac commodation, he had, on his own responsibility, engaged that building for those who would not be able to obtain admission to St. George's Hall. The CHAIRMAN said he regretted that, owing to a severe cold, they were deprived of the advocacy of the Rev. Dr. Hume, who would have been present. The meetinc , had been called in support of the schools connected with St. Paul's Church. They had not many wealthy parsons in the congre gation, so that they were compelled to make a special appeal to public sympathy, more particularly as by the refusal of a church-rate, out of which the choir was formerly supported, they had had many additional expenses thrown upon them. A hymn was then sung by the choir, during which a collec tion was made. The Rev. J. BARDSLEY, alluding to the remark that true Protestants were united, said it was a charge against them by the Church of Rome that they were divided into so many parties they could not belong to the true church. He said the only true Catholic Church consisted of true Christians, wher ever they might be found; whereas the Romish Church, while it had uniformity, had no unity. In the Christian Church they must have unity of heart, unity of feeling, unity of sen timent ; but in Rome they had none of this, for no one was allowed to think for himself. They did but agree in repeating creeds which they did not understand ; and like the man who, on the point of death, said he believed all the Romish Church had taught, all it did teach, and all it was going to teach, their unity was belief without comprehension. He denied that Romanists believed alike on the dogmas of their own church ; and he could show many instances in which they were totally opposed to each other, notwithstanding their boast of unity. The Church of Rome vaunted its being always the same ; and yet, on the Bth of December, 1854, the Immaculate Concep tion was declared to be a point of faith, so that he who denied it before that date might have gone to heaven, whilst he who denied it after that date was certain of perdition. Such was their sameness, such was their unchangeableness. He was a Protestant, and he loved Protestantism, because it was the religion of the Bible. The Bible was the foundation of their faith, the ground of their hope, and their all-sufficient teacher, and Protestantism was founded upon the He entered at some length into the contradictions and inconsistencies of the claims set up by the Church of Rome. The CLEA.IRMAN read notes of apology from the Rev. S. Minton, and the Rev. Dr. Hume, on account of unavoidable absence. The Rev. S. B. SUTTON said frequent reference had been made in the course of the evening to the word Protestant, a word very dear to every man and every woman's heart who feels any interest in the well-being of the country and the people among whom they live, or who has any anxiety as to the safety of their own souls. The most faithful servants of God in every age have been Protestants, and never till there is an end of everything which tends to dishonour God, must that word be laid aside.. Protestantism is an active, not a negative principle. It is practically, after all, only another name for Christianity, and is, in consequence, a diffusive principle. These are wonderful times of perplexity and change—times of extraordinary contraries. There is now the largest amount of intelligence and the largest amount of ignorance and of wickedness. Look at the extent of our commerce; no sea is to be met between the Ganges and the Mississippi ever which English ships do not float; yet at no time was there ever more ignorance, vice, and irreligion in this country. Education is widely diffused, not only among the wealthy members of our community, but also among the middle classes, yet in all our towns we find numerous individuals, indeed large bodies, who are entirely ignorant of their duties towards God and towards each other. One of the wisest and greatest of men says ignorance is not good for the soul ; and one of the peculiarities of Protestantism is its desire for in quiry and its eagerness for information. In this respect it offers a marked contrast to Popery, which is at all times op posed to free inquiry. Protestants have by great and praise worthy efforts been instrumental in disseminating upwards of forty millions of copies of God's Holy Word. The circulation of every bible is a matter of deep importance to every Pro testant, as it opens wider the field of true religion. The Gospel is the power of God unto man's salvation, and looked on in this light, it is of the greatest possible importance to forward missionary enterprise. The field is large and the openings in it occur through the providence of God, and through His mercy we are allowed to send missionaries to such widely diversified fields of operation. As Protestants we must not depend exclusively upon the prayers we offer up or the scriptures we read, but on the amount of practical religion we inculcate. In England and Wales there are seventeen millions of inhabitants, and out of these there ought to be ten millions of persons in attendance every Sunday on the public worship of God in some of the churches or chapels of England and Wales ; yet what was the result shown by the last census ? Not more than five millions were employed in that worship. This was not caused by deficiency of the upper classes, but was mainly attributable to the absence of the working classes. In a considerable degree this might be attributed to the dissemination of Sunday news papers. Newspapers are valuable every day in the week but Sunday. The sale of intoxicating liquors on Sundays is another and fertile source of irreligion and immorality. It is said that there is a pubic-house to every hundred and thirty individuals in Liverpool, and that the sum of money spent in England on intoxicating liquors is something which almost exceeds belief. The remedy for this particular evil is to be found in a proper exercise of our elective franchise. Why cannot we have men of piety and common sense in the House of Commons, instead of the descendants of great lords and dukes ? Such an evil cannot be altered but by the instrumentality of our legislators. On resuming his seat, the rev. gentleman was greeted by several rounds of the Kentish fire. An anthem was here sung, after which the benediction was pronounced, and the meeting separated. CHARGE OF 131111GLIEY AGAINST Two TICKET-OE-LEAVE MEN.-At the Police-court, yesterday, three men named re spectively Thomas Garnett, John M`Bryde, and Robert Ro berts, the two first-named ticket-of-leave convicts,were charged with burglary. From what transpired in reference to the case, it appeared that Povey, the detective-officer, accompanied by M'Culloch and other detectives, in consequence of information they had received, went in search of the prisoners on Satur day night, in the belief that they had been concerned in the perpetration of several burglaries which have recently been committed in Liverpool. In course of their inquiries they di rected their steps towards Sun-street, and about eleven at night they were attracted to the premises of Timothy Gill, who occupies the upper part of a house in which Mr. Gil bert has a provision ship. On arriving at Mr. Gill's, they found that he had secured the prisoner Roberts, who was de tected in the lower part of the premises; the other two, who were seen with him having made their escape, carrying with them a coat and waistcoat belonging to Mr. Gill, and a pair of boots belonging to Joseph Ashton, a lodger in the house. On running away the two left behind them some articles of wear ing apparel by which they were traced and identified ; among these were a pair of boots, furnished to convicts, and marked with the government mark. They were identified as belong. ing to the prisoner Garnett, who, in exchange for them, had taken a pair of slippers from the house of Mr. Gill. After some difficulty, M`Bryde and Garnett were apprehended, and the stolen property found in their possession. They were all three =pitted kr trial,.

Tea also dull, and sales at very irregular prices, the demand being chiefly for common Congous. In Rice little doing, and prices 3d to 6d per cwt. lower. Rum dull. About 22 tons Ivory sold at an advance of £5 to £7 per cwt. in fine qualities, and all at full prices. In Palm Oil very little doing.

Nothing has occurred in Molasses, Rum, or Coffee. A good inquiry exists for most descriptions of Tea, at fully previous rates. We have no sales to report in Rice on the spot, but 200 tons Bengal have been purchased fer arrival ; the price of which has not transpired. 800 bags Salt , petre have changed hands at 36s to 38s for 2* to 11 per'cent. refraction ; and 150 boxes Pearl Sago, at 26s to 27s per cwt.

For Egyptian, of true bred quality, there was a fair demand, and such sorts sold freely at current rates, while inferior sorts, mixed with Syrian, were neglected. Turkey, Smyrna, Syrian and other Levant Wools were not much inquired for, and a portion was withdrawn ; sales, however, have since been made by private contract at higher rates than were offered at auction.

COMMERCIAL and MONETARY NEWS, MONDAY NIGHT. TIE Funds, during the early part of the week, ex perienced but slight fluctuation, the tendency, if any, being downwards. On Wednesday, however, there was a much better feeling, and prices advanced about 1 per cent., owing, it is said, to an impression that the government intended to authorise an issue of £1 bank notes, in order to set free a corresponding amount of gold for the exigencies of the war ; and the belief in the report appeared to be pretty general, notwithstand ing the absence of any authorised confirmation of it. The advance, however, in the Funds would, it is believed, have been greater, had it not been for the anticipation that the Bank Directors contemplated an other rise in the minimum rate of discount ; but on Thursday morning came the startling news that Russia had unconditionally accepted the propositions of Austria as a basis of negotiations for peace, and though the intelligence was at first scarcely believed, from being generally unexpected, it had very soon an effect on the Funds, which rapidly rose about 3 per cent., and as the day passed over without any alteration being made in the Bank rate of discount the advance was firmly maintained. Money for commercial purposes has been in active demand, but, although no change has taken place in the nominal rates, capitalists are less willing to part with their resources, preferring rather to wait the turn which affairs may take. The returns of the Bank of England, published on Friday, for the week ended the 12th instant, show a decrease in the stock of bullion of £119,958. This may be considered very favourable, inasmuch as a large amount must have been paid to the public in dividends, as shown by the decrease in the public deposits of £1,875,926, and an increase in the actual circulation of £486,495, which coupled with the decrease in bullion, accounts for the decrease in the reserve of £633,370. The other changes are rather large in amount, the private securities having diminished no less than £2,456,320, while the private deposits have been augmented by £1,359,668. The accounts from Manchester state that the advance demanded by sellers on the receipt of the news from Russia has tended to check purchases, and that busi ness has, in consequence, been limited, at a realisable advance of only Id per lb. on yarns, which does not compensate for the rise of -Id per lb. on the raw ma terial. In the Woollen market little or no alteration has taken place.

COTTON.—The business during the early part of the week had been very quiet, but rather steadier, when on Thursday the receipt of intelligence that Russia had unconditionally accepted the conditions of peace caused an immediate excitement ; holders withdrew their stocks or asked much higher rates, while buyers were eager to purchase, and no less than 15,000 bales changed hands, at an advance of id to fd per lb. on previous rates, the better qualities being in most re quest. The sales of the week up to Frinay reached 58,750, of which 8,930 were taken on speculation, and 5,120 for export, leaving 44,700 for the trade. To- DAY there was again a good amount of business done, the sales amounting to 10,000 bales, including 2,000 for speculation and export ; prices were firmly main tained, but there was no advance from Friday.

MANCHESTER. — On Thursday, the telegraph announcement that " Russia had unconditionally accepted the propositions of the allies," created such sensation on 'Change, that manufac turers and spinners, in many instances, asked considerably advanced prices for goods and yarns, and the excitement was not a little increased by the telegraph report from Liverpool, that the cotton brokers there had withdrawn their samples. Buyers in this market showed much more anxiety to operate than previously, and in all instances were disposed to give the prices they previously hesitated about. Some considerable orders were given out on such terms, and no doubt a large business would have been done, but in many instances the advances asked, both for cloth and yarns, were so considerable as effectually to put a stop to business. Since then there is much less excitement, and the only change that has even tuated from the prospect of fresh negotiations for peace being opened, is, that the decline of prices, which seemed to be gradually setting in at the commencement of the week, has been recovered, and rather more inclination to give out orders at full prices is found to exist. Yarns have continued in de mand for the Mediterranean, and have remained firm, with, latterly, an upward tendency. In a similar position are 16's and 24's water twist, which having been much inquired for for several weeks, is also the turn dearer. India yarns were dull at the early part of the week, but there has been more inquiry since at a return to full previous rates from the de cline that was gradually setting in. Yarns for home use are more saleable, at full prices. On the receipt of the telegraph news, on Thursday, as much as 12d. and 3d. per piece more was asked for many descripisons of goods, which, of course, entirely prevented sales, such terms being quite beyond the range of buyers. The views which prompted the demand of so considerable an advance have been. much modified since. In the meantime, where full prices only were required, some pretty extensive sales were effected. Manchester Courier. ROCHDALE.—WooI: Generally business has been limited. —Flannel : In home-made goods there has been nothing of moment doing, and Yorkshire made goods have also been at a stand. The upward tendency of wool has had the effect of preventing any alteration in the prices. lIIIDDERSFIELD. — A good many buyers have been about, and although they have not been doing a great deal, their presence is an indication that things are likely to become more active. Prices are unaltered. BRA DFORD.—The purchases of combing wools are not so extensive as at the opening of the year,' nor is there a good supply offering. The difficulties to buy from the farmers keep the market bare, and holders cling to prices too high'to induce extended transactions.—Yarns : There is no diminu tion in the production of worsted yarns, which are going to actual order at prices below what they can now be bought for. There is an advance sought by the spinners on new con tracts to cover the advanced price of wool, and orders cannot be placed, except at higher rates.—Pieces : The recent ad vance on wools and yarns at this usually dull season of the piece trade renders the position of the manufacturers exceed ingly perplexing, as only small advances can for the present be realised. No alternative is left but to limit the quantity of goods making, till the season advances, and the price of goods more nearly approximates to the cost of manufacture. LREDS.—Tolerably brisk markets at our Cloth Halls, and more goods of a general description have been sold than for some time past. Prices rule steady, and the mills are gene rally well employed. There has been a fair average amount of business transacted in the warehouses this week, and Vie general opinion is gaining ground that business is likely to be brisk for the spring trade. NOTTINGHAM.—Lace : The American buyers having finished their purchases, some departments of trade are much quieter. A few home buyers have been in the market, but their re quirements-are limited. Yarn is a shade lower in price. Silk is firm, with a tendency upwards.—Hosiery : There is a fair amount of business doing for the home spring trade, although buyers operate with great caution, and limit their purchases to their almost immediate wants. Goods maintain their prices, and manufacturers are obtaining a fair remunerative profit upon their sales. The glove branch continues very dull, but in all other branches the workmen are well employed. Cotton yarns maintain their prices. Worsted yarns are a shade higher. Silks are firm ; in spun silks there is much jobbing going on.—Nottingham Journal. LEICESTER.—Trade continues dull ; the price of material is high, and the demand for goods very small. The fancy hosiery department, which has been active, is now more quiet. LATEST NEWS. THE WAR. MARSEILLES, Jan. 18. The Gange has just arrived, with accounts from Constanti nople to the 7th. Mr. Longworth, Colonel Schwartzenburg, and General Corman, all from Circassia, had arrived in the Turkish capital . The Egyptian troops are encamped at Trebizonde. Accounts from Erzeroum of the 22nd ult. state that com munications are intercepted by tile frost. Letters from the Crimea mention fresh bankruptcies at Kamiesch. Accounts from Athens state that the Greek Minister of War las just decided on the formation of 16 moveable columns of ,roops destined to put down brigandage. The Minister of the Interior has addressed a circular to the Prefects on the same subject. The Journal de Constantinople states that the allies have now 180,000 troops in the Crimea, besides 13,000 persons not belonging to the army. The cold in the Crimea has con siderably diminished. Omar Pasha is to take up his winter quarters at Erzeroum ; he has been reinforced by the Egyptian division, and the Porte is constantly sending fresh troops into Asia, particularly Albanians. MARSEILLES, Jan. 19, 8 p.m. The Jourdain has arrived with advices from Constantinople of the 10th, and from the Crimea of the Bth instant. She has brought 35 military passengers. Mouravieff, after destroying the advanced works at Kars, left a force there, and marched upon Gumrie with the main body of his army. There were at Trebizond 15,000 Turks and Egyptians, the greater part of them being on their way to Erzeroum. They endure all sorts of privations. The roads are covered with snow. Stragglers were codling in from Kars. It was reported that not less than 1,500 Rediffs had perished in the snow. Unless an English General and staff arrived before the spring Erzcroum must fall, and it would be a great catastrophe. A Constantinople despatch of the 10th instant says Persia has refused the mediation of France, and that Mr. Murray, after learning the fall of Kars, declined to make any con cessions, and left Teheran, with all the English legation. He arrived at Kiona, near Mossoul, on the oth. THE PEACE. BERLIN, Jan. 18.—Count Labanoff has arrived with de spatches from St. Petersburg. The participation of Prussia in the conferences for peace is under discussion. Dresden is talked of as the place where they are to be held. Russia has only accepted the propositions of Austria with the reserve of their being discussed at the conferences. The King has to-day held a chapter of the order of the Black Eagle. According to the most recent accounts, the document signed by Count Nesselrode constitutes a real proof that Russia accepts without reserve the Austrian propositions, and will suffice to authorize Prince Gortschakoff to sign a preliminary treaty of peace. The!signature of that treaty is here considered to be imminent." COPENIIA.GEN, Jan. 17.—The Ministerial journal the Ber linsche Tidende contradicts the existence of a Danish circular relative to the resolution of the Danish Cabinet to strictly maintain neutrality. ST. PETERBBITRG, Jan. 18. A copy of the protocol signed by Count Nesselrode and by Count Valentine Esterhazy, enregistering the acceptation of the Austrian propositions as the basis of preliminaries (comme base des preliminaires), was forwarded to-day to Prince Gortschakoff at Vienna. are not a few of stone—small, but sung and well-built edifices, quite able to resist even Crimean rains and winds, and fitted, many of them, with fire-grates from Sebastopol. If the army were to quit the Crimea, leaving its stone and earthen huts standing, many a Tartar would find a better dwelling than he, perhaps, had ever before enjoyed, and would marvel at the inge nious and comfortable contrivances of the invader. Some of the stables, too, are wonderfully perfect and well contrived, and must have cost an immensity of labour. I rode down, a day or two ago, into the valley towards Karanyi, where the heavy batteries are, and saw some truly admirable stables. The stalls were paved ; there was a clean path down the centre ; there were racks for the hay and well-made wooden mangers, bound and striped with the iron bands that confine the com pressed trusses—excellent mangers—economical of corn, and which the horses cannot bite. It had been found that the horses sometimes pushed out the planks of the stable huts ; so stone walls were built up outside to a sufficient height to prevent this. In short, although some of the men were still under canvass, the horses of the artillery in question could hardly be better cared for, and the condition of those I saw corresponded with the pains that had been taken to protect and preserve them. The health of the camp continues good. As far as I have been able to ascertain, the average amount of sickness does not exceed, if it quite reaches, 10 per cent. But a large proportion of the cases are of a trifling nature, and the mortality is small. We must be prepared to expect some increase when the rains return ; but we may venture to hope that this will not be great, since the men are well provided, and, as it appears to me, in excellent condition and good spirits. The bringing up of planks from Balaklava, and the other necessary fatigue duties, give them sufficient exercise to keep them in health ; for the recruits there is squad and adjutant's drill, when the weather permits ; and drunkenness, from all I can learn, is much less rife than it was last autumn. lam assured that the average amount of punishment for drunkenness having lately been computed, was found not to exceed a half per cent. per diem—a small per tentage—to which, however, must be added a somewhat larger one for men who get drunk and es cape punishment. There can be no doubt that in autumn issues of back pay, and the difficulty of transmitting money, aggravated the evil. A letter from Marseilles of the 17th inst., in the Constitu tionnel, says,-- " Among the pessengers who embarked this morning in the Clyde, for Alexandria, were Count Dumonceau and Viscount Desmanet, who have been sent on a mission by their Sove reign, the King of the Belgians, to the Viceroy of Egppt. Four Sisters of Jesus also took passage in that packet for Alexandria, whence they are to proceed to Bombay, their place of destination." - _ . MARSEILLES, Jau. 18.—A telegraphic despatch, received here last evening, announcing that the Russian government had accepted purely and simply the Austrian ultimatum, pro duced quite a panic this morning on the corn-market. Wheat fell 4f. the hectolitre, and there are few purchasers to be found even at that reduction. The Journal de Constantinople has a long paragraph about the construction of a canal from the Danube to the Black Sea setting forth all the advantages to be derived from such an undertaking. The Imperial firman which grants the right of constructing this canal to a company formed by some finan ciers of London, Paris, Vienna, and Constantinople was signed on the 4th of January. SPAIN. MADRID, Jan. 18.—The Cortes yesterday rejected the vote of censure on the Ministry by a majority of 152 to 57. The Parliamentary Committee is favourable to the credit establishment proposed by some Spanish capitalists. (BY ELECTRIC & INTERNATIONAL TELEGRAPHS.I LONDON, Monday Night.

This was an action against Mrs. Palmer, of Rugeley, to recover £2,000 on a bill of Exchange, alleged to have been accepted by Mrs. Palmer. Mrs. Palmer denied that it was her writing. William Palmer was then brought into court in custody. He appeared in excellent health, and behaved in a most cool and collected manner. In reply to questions, he stated that the signature "William Palmer," as drawer of the bill, was in his handwriting, and that he applied to Padwick to advance money on it. In answer to the question, " Who wrote Sarah Palmer's acceptance on He said, " Ann Palmer," (great sensation,) she was his wife, and is now dead, and he saw her write it. This announcement ended the case, and a verdict was returned for defendant, who is William Palmer's mother The prisoner will be removed to Stafford to-night. THE PEACE NEGOCIATIONS: The Morning Post's Paris correspondent writes on Sunday morning—" The fact of Russia having accepted the Austrian ultimatum will not suspend the council of war. The Em peror will preside on Monday at an early hour." The Frankfort Jaurnal, an official organ, has as article which does not favor the idea that Europe will shortly enjoy a permanent peace, originating from the present overtures. The Times' Paris correspondent writes on Sunday evening, that on the whole, so far as he can ascertain, the French Go vernment is convinced that the chances are most decidedly for peace. It is certain that they consider the objects of the war as completely attained. The Times' Vienna correspondent reports that Prince Gortichakoff's behaviour has given great offence to the Emperor.

IRON WORKS. , Tins immense gun, the largest that has ever been attempted or made, is now completed, so far as the forging is concerned; the finishing-stroke having been given to it on Saturday, when it had its last heat. It has afforded the esteemed proprietors (the Messrs. Horsfall) and Mr. Clay, the manager, the most lively satisfaction to know, that not only has the gun turned out to be a most beautiful piece of workmanship, but that this result has been acquired without a single accident. The time occupied in its manufacture has been about seven weeks, during which time it has not been out of hands, night or day. The scene of the manufacture, on Saturday, presented a most stirring appearance. The fiery-red furnace 'shed a pecu liar light on the working parties engaged; and when the monster mass was brought out, glowing with heat, added to the sound of orders from the head artisans, and coupled with the aspect of the 40 or 50 men employed at the staff', all anxious to attend to every instruction with the most prompt obedience, the scene was one of the most exciting kind. When the huge hammer had done its work, the whole establishment was immediately apprized of it, and the loud huzzas of these sons of Vulcan testified their satisfaction with the successful undertaking. Yesterday, this gun was weighed, and, after deducting the chain and tackle from it, its weight was 24 tons, 7 cwt., the largest piece of wrought-iron ever manufactured. It is now pretty generally known that the Messrs. Horsfall purpose to present the country with this gun—an honourable and con vincing proof of our enterprising townsmen's superior skill and patriotic spirit. The measurement of the gun is some 15 feet ; it is to be of 13 inch bore, and its power of propulsion to be of power to urge a spherical shot of 302 lbs five miles. It will be a swivel gun, placed in the bow or stern of the vessel. Several military and naval men have taken great interest in it. We are given to understand that it is proposed to have this gun taken to the lathe to-day, and in the course of about a month hence it will be ready for service. M.

The Times' correspondent, writing from Sebastopol under date of 4th January, says : We have had a heavy snowstorm last night and this morning. The fall has ceased, but the snow lies several inches deep on the plateau. On the white surface the irregular col lections of huts have something the appearance of groups of farm buildings, while the more distant tents, dingy in compa rison with the dazzling whiteness of the ground, might be taken fox heaps of hay or manure, Qn 01 sides, at the dis tance of about three-quarterS of a mite, our horizon is limited by a iiaZe a few shades grayer than the snow, and semi-transparent, so that figures are dimly seen walking within it, The wind howls drearily round the huts, but the snow lends light to the foreground, and the temperature is milder than it has been for the last few days —far milder than it was on the 2nd, a piercing day of frost, wind, and sleet. Fatigue parties, in their short fur-lined coats, their heads protected by those black sealskin caps the shape of which reminds one of pictures of - Russian travel ling, bring up firewood on their shoulders to the different commissariat stores, and a considerable amount of snowballing goes on among them in the intervals of their toil. Here and r there carts move slowly through the deep snow, in which, hard by my window, some Tartar dogs are now disporting themsell'C, apparently quite id their element, The winter piece is complete, and not unpicturesque. But it suggeSts a wish that the whole, instead of part only, of our army had more Substantial shelter than tents against the sharp wind, the drift ing snow, the bitter cold that will attend a return of frost, and the chilly floods which a thaw must inevitably bring.
