SIPPING AND MERCANTILE 111ISCELLANY. NEWSPAPERS addressed to the British possessions of Accra, on the West Coast of Africa, will be forwarded by the contract snail packet free of postage, provided they are posted in conformity with the general regulations applicable to newspapers sent through the post to British colonies and countries beyond sea. Upon each newspaper addressed to Dutch Accra, a rate of 2d. must be paid in advance. THE AUSTRALIAN TRADE.—The quantity of freight on offer in London for the Australian colonies continues very large ; and, as the brokers experience some difficulty in obtaining a sufficient supply of tonnage to meet the demand, the rates of freight have in consequence again advanced, and there is the prospect of their going still higher. The present weather prevents many vessels in the Baltic, &c., from leaving, and the amount of available ton nage is consequently reduced. SHIPBUILDING AT QUEBEC.—Twenty-four shipbuilders have upon the stocks 28 ships, the smallest of which is 650 tons. Three of them are 1,750 tons, and only seven are under 1,100. There is also a ship of 1,300 tons build ing at Point-aux-Trembles, and one of 650 at Kingston (C.W.). All are under the special superintendence of Lloyd's surveyor, Thomas Menzies, Esq., and most of them are intended for the highest classification of colonial ships. The aggregate tonnage of these vessels is about 35,000. — Boston Advertiser. FOREIGN Goons UNDER BOND.—An important con cession has been made by the commissioners of customs, which will he a material convenience to the holders and removers of foreign goods under bond to a considerable extent, by the issue of an order dispensing with a separate bond on the occasion of every individual removal of foreign goods of any kind in bond from one port of the kingdom to another, snd allowing a general bond to be entered into for the purpose, which is to cover all subsequent transac tions of this nature, under certain regulations specially arranged and approved for the purpose. DISCOVERY OP A NEW ISLAND OR Rocs.—From a letter addressed by the commander of the American barque Isabelita Hyne, to Messrs. S. B. Were and agents, we learn that he considers he has discovered an island or rock, which is not laid down on the chart. He says :—lt lies in lat. 29 42 N., long. 140 15 E., and is about 200 feet high and 100 feet base. I ran within three miles of the rock, and no bottom. It looks black, having the appearance of a bottle. = I had good observance both for chronometer and latitude ; and my chronometer I found to be correct on my arrival at Port Philip (New South Wales). I will name it " Black Rock." This rock I con sider very dangerous, if a vessel should strike it in a dark night, as there is but little chance of getting on the rock, and, if gained, there is not a vestige of anything of vege tation on it ; and the chance of getting off—no one would ever think of a man being there, even should it be seen. The nearest island to it lays N. 52 miles, called Ponofidin, or St. Peter's, by J. S. Bubb's chart of 1850, and additions to 1851.—Melbourne Argus, July 26. A NEW BRAZILIAN TARlPP.—Considerable changes in the Brazilian tariff of customs duties have for two or three months past been anticipated the chambers hating in their last session passed a law conferring power on the imperial government to alter those duties ; and, though the commercial policy of the empire has from its first exist ence as an independent state been that of free trade, some apprehension existed in our manufacturing districts that the alterations thus authorised might, to some extent, be of a restrictive cr protective character. The last mail shows the groundlessness of such fears. A draft of the new tariff has been published, and so far from raising, it materially reauces, the duties on the principal articles of importation from England, in many cases as much as from 25 to 30 percent. The proposed alterations were, indeed, of so satisfactory a character that one of the last acts of the English charge d'affaires, Mr. Jerningham, before leaving Rio de Janeiro, was to press the Brazilian cabinet at once 'to legalise the draft it had prepared, and which public opinion had fully sanctioned. This ability to reduce duties arises from the flourishing state of the imperial finances, and the continued existence of a considerable sur plus beyond the expenditure. - - RUNNING DOWN TIM BELL BUOY. RESPONSIBILITY OF PILOTS AND CAPTAINS. AT the County Court, on Tuesday last, an action was brought by the Liverpool Dock Trustees against Mr. James Brown, of the firm of llessrs. Brown, Shipley, and 'Co., and one of the owners of the United States royal mail steamer Baltic, for compensation for damages occasioned 'by that vessel having run down the Bell Buoy Beacon, at the mouth of the channel, on the 14th of April last. The damages were laid at £3lO. 18s.; and, although the juris diction proper of County Courts is confined to sums under £5O, it appears that suits Tor a still larger amount may be brought in a certain form, with the mutual consent of the litigants. Mr. Blair and Mr. Simon appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Aspinall and Mr. Raffles for the defendant. Mr. Aspinall applied for a postponement of the trial,on the ground that a material witness, Alexander M'Kentie, the man on the look-ott at the time of the accident ; vas absent in America. The application was - resisted by Mr. Blair, who urged that there had already'been three postponements, and - that the plaintiffs might be prejudiced by further delay, as an action was pending against them, to be tried at the next assizes, for injury alleged to have been occasioned to the steamer Nimrod, by coming into collision With the sunken buoy. The trial was ordered to proceed ; but, after some time, it was discovered that the .pilot, necessarily a material witness, was also itbsent; His Honour, under these circumstances, urged a postponement, which counsel for the plaintiffs were evidently reluctant to accept. 'lt even tually transpired - that the pilot had made a written statement of the facts, and the case proceeded, , with the understanding that this should be read, and 'taken for what it was worth. From the statement of the pilot, (John James Ellison) it appeared that on Wednesday, the 14th of April, about seven minutes paid two a.m., he was bringing the Baltic into port, and, after he thought he had passed the Bell Buoy, he ordered the helm to port a little, so as to keep the fairway into the channel. Soon afterwards they came into collision with fhe buoy. After disengaging 'the ship, she was put round, and, on passing the Imoy,it was left in the same position as usually seen ; but he did not hear the bell. Mr. Blair, in addressing the court on the Tat'ts of the case, said that the Bell Buoy was of importance, as lying precisely in the line of two lights, which make the fairway up that channel, and he should show that it - was usual for vessels to stop, when nearing it, till they-caught the bearings of those lights, and also to take soundings. Therefore, to slow the vessel was only a common practice. He contendedthat the buoy could easily havebeen made out, and that the captain had been guilty 'df reckless negligence in not-glowing the engines, and taking sound ings, instead of proceeding before it had been-made. He maintained that the captain must have known that the speed at which they were going, twelve miles an hour, was a dangerous•one, and that was a matter more within the control of the captain than the pilot. Hecalled wit nesses. Lieutenant Lot.l, surveyor of the port, thought that the Baltic should hard been going at that point withdiminished speed—say for ten minutes before, at half-speed—and the lead should have been kept going, at night time more es pecially. It would be the duty of the master of the vessel to keep the lead going, and he thought it should have been kent going till the vessel passed the bar. By the Judge—Witness should suppose, frour the pilot's statement, that, -svhen the vessel's course was altered, she was about half a mile from the Bell Buoy. The fact was the pilot thought that he had passed the Bell Buoy, while he was not abreast of it. The mistake arose from an error of judgment on the part of the pilot. Mr. John Jones, lia\T , assistant surveyor of - Liverpool, Charles F. Fox, water-bailiff, Captain Evans, R.N., -acting conservator of the navy, Mr. Thomas Hodgson, harbour master, and Capt. William Williams, gave corroborative evidence. Mr. Aspinall, for'the defence, contended that there was no case which could' be sent to a jury. The defendant, having a pilot on board, was exempt, unless it was proved that fault had attsehed to some of the crew or servants of the deFendant. He maintained that there was nothing whatever to show that' there was any such fault. The other party seemed to have assumed that the duty of a pilot was diminished, when a commander like Captain Comstock was acquainted with the entrance to the port ; but he main tained that the pilot's responsibility continued just the same as if the captain was a perfect stranger, and the ves sel had never been here before. His Honour thought the responsibility of a captain varied according to the amount of knowledge. The real question in the cause which would most probably come to • be decided was this—was the vessel coming in that channel, on that night, at that time of night, coming at a reasonable speed when she approached the Bell Buoy, or was she coming at such a speed that a person of reason able capacity in such affairs would have known that the pilot was doing manifestly wrong, or was guilty of mani fest incapacity in what he did ? He was not prepared to say that the steamer was gciine , manifestly wrong; but the captain should have remonstrated, ' even if too late to be effectual. For instance, Captain Comstock might have said " You are near the Bell Buoy ; you had better glow." Had he done so, could the answer of the pilot have been that they were past the Bell Buoy ? then, per haps, Captain Comstock might have relieved the owners of their liability. Mr. Aspinall believed that such was the case, and said that to prove what occurred, he should put Captain Com stock into the box. Captain Comstock stated that he knew about the time they were approaching the Bell Buoy, that he asked the pilot why he had altered the course, and he replied that he had passed the buoy. Soon afterwards she came in colli sion with it. In reply to Mr. Blair, he further stated that it was the usual practi ce t o run the steamer into port at full speed, unless they had foggy weather. His Honour intimated that in a case of so much im portance to the owners of steam-vessels, he should like, before deciding, to have time to consider the evidence and read the cases which had been quoted ; he should, there fore, postpone his judgment till Monday next. THE NEW YEAR 0 , happy may the New Year be—to each bring joy and bliss ; Throughout that year may all our friends know nought but happiness. And . still, as comes to each the thought of what was done last year, The Coats must needs recur to mind which those good friends bought here.

CHESHIRE AND WALES. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAlLWAY.—Traffic for the week ended December 25, 1853 :—Railway : Passengers, parcels, &c., £2,223 2s. 6d.; goods, £1,671 2s. 3d.; Steam-boats : £341 17s. 4d. Total, £4,236 2s. ld. In crease as compared with the corresponding week last year, £Bl6 12s. 9d. THE ANNIVERSARY DINNER of the Woodside Ferry men's Benefit Club was held on Monday last week, at the Liverpool Arms, Birkenhead. The president, Mr. John Shipton, occupied the chair, and about forty of the mem bers and their friends sat down. The wives and sweet hearts of the party having been soon after introduced, dancing was kept up with great spirit until " rosy morn." SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—A few days since a gen tleman at Birkenhead was presented with a cow's tongue, which appeared to be perfect in every respect. After being boiled, he discovered a piece of sandstone embedded in the tongue, about three quarters of an inch in length, half an inch in width, and, a quarter of an inch in thick ness. CREEVELEA IRON MINES.—On Thursday thirty tons of pig iron, the produce of the mines, were delivered at the Ballast quay, for shipment to Liverpool. This is the first delivery of iron`by the company, as the preparatory labours were of a most extensive and arduous nature, but the mines are in full working order, and as the supply of iron ore is unlimited, the shipments may, we learn, be expected shortly to reach two or three hundred tons a week.—Sligo Chronicle. CHRIST enuncu, CLAUGHTON, Rev. Dr. Blakeney in cumbent, was purchased in April, 1853, for £3,700, to be paid for in a limited period, to be vested in five lay trus tees. By the strenuous efforts of the congregation about £2,500 has been subscribed to 31st ult. It was proposed b; a member of the congregation that the offertory on the Ist instant, with collections at the doors, should be for the liquidation of the debt ; the result of this appeal is the handsome sum of £313 Os. 7d. Before the church can be consecrated, about £1,200 more will be required; it is therefore hoped that the friends of evangelical truth in Liverpool will assist by their contributions to liquidate this amount during the present year.— Correspondent. SNOWSTORM IN THE WEST.—Winter has set in with extreme rigour in Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Mon mouthshire, and South Wales, and at the present moment the ground is covered with snow to the depth of nearly a foot. The snow began to fall on Tuesday, and continued without intermission until night. It was accompanied by a biting north wind, which increased occasionally on Tuesday and Wednesday to a brisk breeze, and has drifted the snow considerably in exposed places. Tuesday night was fine, and the thermometer has been ever since Mon day night several degrees below the freezing point, and the sunshine on Wednesday made no impression upon the snow. The road traffic is much impeded, but the railways are clear, though the slipperiness of the rails and the usual incidents of severe weather have caused the trains to be generally beyond their proper time. CAUTION TO DRUGGISTS.—An inquest was held at the Caledonian Inn, Birkenhead, on Wednesday, on the body of Hannah Ray, eleven weeks old, the child of a farmer, residing in Cathcart-street. The infant was ill on Satur day and Sunday, and was attended by Mr. Vale, surgeon, who prescribed a medicine to be administered every half hour. The servant girl was despatched to the shop of Mr. Rose, Watson-street, where she was supplied by a female with paregoric instead of the powder which she had asked for. This medicine was administered to the child, and death ensued on Tuesday morning. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the child had died from the effects of several doses of paregoric, given in mistake. Mr. Churton, the coroner, severely animadverted on the con duct of Mr. Rose, in allowing a female, unacquainted with the Latin names, to dispense drugs. TEIIRIVIC RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—The Taff Vale Rail way has a branch from Merthyr to Dowlais. More than a mile of this is an inclined plane, rising 400 feet in that dis tance. This is worked by a stationary engine. The officials on Thursday neglected to attach the rope to the mid-day passenger train before starting it. It consequently dashed down the incline with prodigiously increasing velocity as it neared the bottom. The guard leaped off the break soon after the carriages commenced their descent, and was un injured. None of the passengers were, however, enabled thus to escape, as they were all locked in their compart ments, and their shrieks while passing along the bridges over the roads near the town were most appalling. The branch joins on to the main line at the bottom of the incline by a sharp curve. The train abandoned the rails t this spot, leaped clear up into the air a great height, the carriages separating into shreds, the passengers bay , . thrown out, and, with the debris of the train, fallinglike a shower into the Taff river and on the adjoining cinder tips. Notwithstanding this extraordinary violence, some of the passengers were enabled to walk away comparatively unhurt; others are much injured, and two women are dying—one having her back broken, and 'the other a frac ture of the skull, besides which they 'are frightfully lace rated and almost torn to pieces. Had the train been worked by a proper break, it could have been brought to a stand, or, at all events, its speed down the incline would have been so reduced as to avoid the fearful results of the catastrophe. INFANTICIDE IN THE PUNJAB. (FROM THE FRIEND OF INDIA.) ANOTHER chapter in the black history of Indian crime. It is not the least among the many obstacles in the path of the Indian Government that it is called upon to con tend with crimes which have become almost national customs. Founded, like Suttee, upon superstition, like infanticide, upon a social prejudice, or like Thuggee, upon the mere love of plunder, they have spread in the course of years over whole races, and have become part of the daily life of orborganized communities. It is not th a t the strength of the ' Government is unable to cope with them on account of their magnitude, for Government could have exterminated the Thugs in a twelvemonth. The difficulty is the utter impotence of the ordinary aids to authority. It receives no information, for the entire people is guilty. It can gain nothing by treachery among the criminals, for, in the people's idea, there is nothing to betray. Its European experience is of no value, for the European theory supposes that natural affections are stronger than social prejudices. Its European agents are at fault, for the proofs of good character and of heinous crime are often united in the same person. The respect able, well-born, intelligent Rajpoot who governs his estates with an ability which extorts the admiration of the collector, has murdered his female children, and would have assisted to burn his mother alive but for the law. The wife who would kill herself rather than allow a European to see her face, and towards whom her sons express the deepest respect and affection, has consented to the slaughter of her own children. The manner in which a native retains occasionally, amid great virtues, a criminal side to his character might form one of the most curious chapters in psychology. We make these observations, which many of our Indian readers will consider somewhat trite, because it is the dogged adherence to English ideas which renders our sys tem so unintelligible in England. To proceed to facts : Late in the year 1851, Major Lake, Commissioner of Goordaspore, in the Punjab, became aware of the exist ence of infanticide among a class in his own district. He reported the facts to the Board of Administration, and in quiries were immediately commenced. All the commis , sioners received orders to report upon the prevalence of the crime within their respective jurisdictions, and to sug gest measures for its removal. Considerable delay appears to have .occurred in collecting the information required, but at last it was obtained, in a form which enabled the Judicial Commissioner to report upon it. It was found to prevail more or less in the LTmballa, Ferozepore, Jullundur, Hooshearpore, Lahore, Mooltan, Jhelum, and Lela districts—in fact, over a tract of country a s l arge as a European kingdom. It was not, however, prac tised by all the inhabitants. It is confined chiefly to the Bedees or descendants of Nanuk Gooroo, men generally of great wealth and influence, and to the Rajpoots, generally poor, but among whom the custom is one of immemorial antiquity. The Khetrees, however, some Bramhuns, and even several of the Mussalman tribes, maintain the practice, and the higher the rank the more ! certain are the female branches of destruction It is be lieved, also, by the most experienced officers, to have in fected all classes in a greater or less degree, and we may ' readily imagine that even where the motives which influ ence the highest class were absent, the lower orders would acquire from their example a degreeof carelessness for their children's lives. The motive for the crime differs among the different classes. With the Reboots of the Punjab, as among the Rajpoots everywhere else, it is simply pride. They must marry th e i r f emale children, and they must marry them to thei r equa l s. Th i s is qccasionally difficult, and they slay them to avoid the inconvenience. Then, even if they find bridegrooms, they mustgivea dower more than proportioned to theirmeans. Theirextravagancesometimes reaches a point which is almost incredible among a parsimo nious people. One chief gave his daughter 17 Ines of rupees, another expended 10 Ines, and a third gave a lac to his niece married to a poor Bramhun of the plains. Their insane pride, to which that of the Highland chief is almost humi lity, forbids them to diminish its amount. It is a question, as Major Edwardes has observed, between the father's wealth and the daughter's life, and the life is taken and the wealth retained. Then, again, in some instances, it is regarded simply as vmeans of proving the purity of their race, a mere habit of imitating the upper classes. The Munha Rajpoots, for instance, when in the hills, are the lowest of their tribe, and their children are consequently safe. But in the plains they become the highest; and, in order to prove that they are such, they slay theirrhildren. Yet the Rajpoots are the noblest of the Indian races. The same causes are in operation among the Mnssalmans. The highest tribes, jealous of the purity of their lineage, are jealous also of their wealth, and the female children are sacrificed to save them from an unequal marriage, and their fathers from too liberal donations. Added to all this the principle of consanguinity is pushed to the wildest extreme. Almost every Rajpoot is the relative of every other ; all who are descended from one common ancestor consider themselves blood relations after the lapse of cen turies, and, down to the last degree, marriage is forbidden.. Every Rajpoot Campbell considers himself not only the I kinsman of the Duke of Argyll, but within the forbidden degrees. It is among the Bedees only that a different set of motives appears to come into operation. They are the descendants of Dhurm Chund, the grandson of the great Nantik Gooroo, and consider themselves of the priestly caste—the Levites of the Punjab. They murder on the strength of tradition, and add occasionally a mocking ceremony to the crime. The child is buried ; a piece of coarse sugar is put between its lips, and a hank of cotton in.its hand, and the father cries:— " Eat your goor and spin your thread, But go and send a boy instead." 'Be the motives what they may, it is certain that in Inndreds of families in the Ps jab there has been no daughter born for generations. It is certain that in thousands infanticide is a custointo which no member of them probably would hesitate to allude; that, all over the lPuniab, there is a disproportion - in the number of female !birtlh. not to be accounted for by ordinary causes, and • that in certain districts this disproportion rises to a height , which implies the extinction of the female sex. The evil must be remedied, and the authorities have resolved upon the means. They are utterly opposed to English ideas. 1 London magistrate would redouble the vigilance of the police, and, if possible, increase the certainty of punish ment. Such measures by themselves would be useless iu India. It is the social police which in England prevents crime, and we have no social police, The authorities, [guided, we imagine, by Mr. Itaikes, whose success at Mynpoorie has given him a European reputation have attempted to strike the evil nt its root. They have taken [-wivantage of the dawning alhorrence of the crime among the people themselves, and have endeavoured to induce I , them to remove the temptations to it. The people are to I'be distinctly informed that the practice is regarded by -their new rulers is a crime ra census is to he drawn up, Idistinguishing the male and female children ; and lastly, a great meeting has been (Ailed of the chiefs of districts, 4iided by the Commissioners of the Jullundur, Lahore, and o.ls-Sralej divisions, and prekided over by the Chief Com missioner. All the native .Chiefs who can be expected to ;attend will be invited, and new rules for marriage and other ceremonies will, it is hoped, be formally adopted. The meeting is to take place on the 29th and 31st of o^tober, in the holy city of the Sikhs, and can scarcely. fall to produce the result htended—viz., an unanimous declaration of opinion against the practice. 'THE COUNTESS DU CATLA--The heirs of M. Birc'hey, dentist, yesterday brought an action before the Civil Tribunal against the Princess , de Craon, as heiress of:the late Countess du Cayla, who was so famous in the Restora tion for her beauty and wit, to recover 20,000 fr., the value of twelve sets of teeth, supplied to the countess from 1841 to 1.652. In support of the demand, several letters, writ ten by the Countess to M. Birchey, about her teeth, were The princess resisted the claim, on the ground that as the countess had declared in her will that her debts were-mot considerable, (thouglfin reality they exceeded a million,) she had most likely paid M. Birchey for - his services, especially as she was very particular about her teeth l and that M. Birchey 'had only made his demand when he found the countess hail-not, as she, according to his account, had promised, left him a legacy. The prin cess further represented that the demand could not be maintained in law, inasmuch as 'the plaintiff had allowed more than a year to pass withobt claiming it. The Tribunal held that the last objection was , valid • and it therefore dismissed•the case, subject, however, to the Princess de Craon taking oath that she does not believe the sum of 20,000 fr. to be really due.—Galignani. • THE LIVE U POOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL CON THE CHARITIES.—(IFeekIy Reports.)

Skein A CHRISTMAS BALANCE-SHEET. (FROM THE ENGLISH CHURCHMAN.) IT would be well if, at this season, we were to prepare, seriously and indiVidually, a Christmas balance-sheet, which should exhibit on the one side our duties, and on the other our deeds. Spiritually and morally, perhaps, we should all of us find ourselves nearer to insolvency than our self-complacemey would lead us to believe; but the knowledge of our true position would, or should, exercise a wholesome influence upon our thoughts and actions in the coming year. Let us glance for a moment at our indebtedness, socially speaking, as co-operators of a great community, bound to gether by ties of blood, and race, and language. What do we owe to it, and what derelictions of duty are chargeable upon each of ns Who is fortunate enough to possess means, influence, intelligence, and a recognised position ? We owe to it the eradication of crime, i g norance, and utter desti tution. It may charge us with having punished all three, without having first employed the means of preventing any. Are the lust, avarice, malice, cupidity, envy, hatred, and revenge of the law-breaker, entirely chargeable upon himself, or have we some participation, as accessories, in the crime ? Have we placed within reach of the wrong doer, when he was most accessible to - beneficial influences, the ministrations -of religion, the lessons of morality, the restraints of education, and the powers of a good example? Or have we established penal settlement§ when we ought to have built churches, erected prisons when we should have opened schools, banished poverty to reeking cellars, undrained courts, und fever-poisoned alleys, when we might have miven it a b!earkly and cheerful borne, and have sur rounded it With all the appliances necessary to morality and health If, week after week, we are fated to read the hideous details of 'brutalised husbands maltreating their wives with a ferocity almost incredible,'have we no portion in the offence? 'lf such men are brutal, ignorant, and in temperate, what was their warning ? How were they taught ? Whose was the neglect ? If woman, forgetting the instincts of maternity, crushes the love of her own offspring out of her breast, and destroys the child of her bosom that she may. sbtain from the burial clubs, in which death was insured, the means of subsistence, or, more fre quently, riotous debauch, are we guiltless of any partici pation in her applliag crimes ? Follow that red-handed murderess back to her childhood, and usk yourself what could be hoped from early days so wild; i;ntaug,ht, undis ciplined, nnre,gulated, and depraved ? If'for many conse cutive months, tens of thousands of operatives abandon their industrial occupations, and league themselves in an unwise combination against their employers, upon whom they endeavour to impose conditions incempatible with the permanent prosperity of either, who is - -to blame that these men are ignorant of those social and r,olitico-econo mical laws which govern the relations of labour and capital, and which, if understood, would prevent them from sub sisting in idleness upon the industry of !•their fellow operatives ? - But this enumeration of the protean forms of crime and error, in which the intelligent, the influential, and the well-to-do classes of society have• a copartnership of re sponsibility, might be indefinitely prolonged. The evil, in so far as it affects the "dangerous classes" of the pre sent day, is, to a certain extent, irremediable. Prevention is too late ;we can only endeavour to reclaim. But for those who are growing up ,around us—the young, the plastic, and the impressible—we may manifest a thought ful care and a prudent foresight, and in that particular amend our Balance Sheet another year. Individually, in our own households, in our ownlmme diate circle of friends and dependants, in our own sphere of influence and usefulness, we have also to prepare Balance Sheet of deeds and duties. Is there no deficit here ? No difficult adjustment of assets and debits ? no 10n.. ' array of claims unsettled, and-of duties unperformed? Some duties there are—minor duties. if we like to ac count them such—which the season appears to impress upon us with peculiar force : Compensation for wrongs 'Waded, for harsh words and uncharitable thoughts, the healing up of old feuds, the magnanimous admission of Our own error, (whereinsoever we have erred,) and the frank and generous forgiveness of our enemy, if the fault rest with him ' • help for the destitute, pity for the weak, sympathy for the solitary, and toleration towards all ; gentle words of comfort for those who are in sorrow, a charitable oblivion of bygone occasions of bitterness, a more rigid censure of our own feelings, and the exercise of a more kind and lenient judgment upon those of our neighbour. So shall we honour Christmas in a Christian spirit s and so shall the pealing bells which welcome in the Not Year's birth " Ring in the valiant man and free, The lar4er heart. the kindlier hand, Ring out the darkness of the land." HORTICULTURE. STOVE, CONSERVATORY, AND GREENHOUSE. - The temperature of these houses should be maintained the same as indicated in our last. As a matter of course, the snow will be removed from the tops of the houses. Many persons allow it to lay on the vine borders, outside the vineries; this, however, should not be. They ought to be covered with straw, and over it a tarpanline ; but an accu mulation of snow would be Injurious, when thawing, from the dampness it would cause; therefore, the snow, which slides off the glass roofs, should be removed from the borders. The Dutch and other bulbs now showing flower will be much improved by an occasional watering with weak, clear liquid manure. The same may be given to Camellias, Orange trees, Coronillas, Daphnes, and other ornamental hard-wooded greenhouse plants now coming into flower. The snow -fall has, of course, suspended all out-of-door operations. PARIS. — The Emperor is anxious to make the Barri6re de l'Etoile the finest entrance to a city which ever existed in ancient or modern times. It is proposed that the space around the Etoile shall be traced in a periphery of 172 metres, and the Avenue de N eu illy ( s it ua t e b e f ore th e Etoile) shall receive a breadth of 180 metres, and a length of 180 metres, up to the arch of the Etoile. This im mense space, longer than the former Quarrl in the Champs Elvsee, now occupied by the Paris Chrystal Palace, is to be devoted. to public festivals and military manoeu vres. The present barracks of the Beale Militaire_will be enlarged and completed. SPORTING LIVT_ELEIGENCE.

MANCHESTER.—The market continues quite firm, at the full prices recently obtained for the various descriptions of goods and yarns. although the demand has not been so brisk as was the case last week. During the last few days it has become more abundantly evident, that if ever there was any real probability that the Russo-Turkish question could be settled by diplomatists, that probability has very materially diminished; and, in fact, the only possible solution of the difficulty appears to be an appeal to arms. From this cause considerable caution is induced, and operations are addition ally restricted on that account. The firmness of the Liver pool cotton market would go far towards keeping prices steady; bat, in addition, the demand which has been ex perienced during the last ten days, has, with the diminished supply, from the working of short time, so entirely cleared off the stocks of some kinds of goods and yarns, as to render them bad to meet with in quantity, so that the diminution in the inquiry lira had no immediate effect. LEMS.—The Ymal dulness at Christmas has prevailed in the Cloth Halls. The same has been the case out of the market. The prospects for the winter are considered quite as good as usual at this period. The mills are pretty well employed, and prices steady. This being the season of taking stock, 'here has been little done in the warehouses this week. BrlADToan.—Wools 1 Being the last week in the year, business has been quiet; but there is more inquiry for both English and foreign, and prices are firm. Bright-haired wools are still scarce in this market. Noils and brokes keep low in stock, and command tali rates.—Yarns.: There is a greater disposition to'buy yarns for distant delivery, but the eltered price of wool compels the spinner to -seek higher prices, which acts as a barrier to extensive operations. NOTTINOHA M.—Much of the week has been given up to hoiday making and feasting, so that very little business has been done in the warehouses. Early as it is in the season for Canadian buyers to appear in this country to make purchases, -some have already appeared in London, thinking, perhaps, to obtain goods at a less price than they could in February, which is the time when they generally commence buying. Some Australians also have been making considerable pur chases for their country in London. The East India trade is also better;: and, on - the whole, we think there are fair prospects for a better trade for some months to come than we have experienced lately. The price of both-hosiery and lace yarn is a trifle lower than it was in the autumn. -LETCESTER.—The usual Christmas engagements , and stock takings so far appear to have filled up the week. The amount of business done in:Leicester, for 1853, is, no doubt, greater than in any former year, although the last two or three months have been dull. It is also satisfactory to:find, that during the flat months suitable care had been exercised, so as to prevent an over-stocked market, which will preserve both labour and stock from undue depression in value. This, and other causes, combine to give a tone of firmness end confi dence; and we have no doubt, that es soon as operations for the new year commence, Ave shall have a fair trade and full employment. HUD6ERSFIELD. — The Christmas week is generally a dull one here for business, as well on the market day as during the rest-of the week ; therefore little is expected. However, there has been a good attendance of buyers, and a fair quan tity of goods have been disposed of, at prices nearly equal to those ruling a few months back. LATEST DATES AT LIVERPOOL.

New York -CORN MARKETS. LIVERP6OL, DEC. 30.—This morning's market was largely attended, especially by country buyers; the choice of foreign. wheat samples was comparatively very meagre, more par. ticularly of prime qualities; the trade has been excited, and a considerable business done in all descriptions of this grain, everything offered at an advance of 3d to 4d on Tuesday's rates being readily cleared off; some extra quality of white American made as high as Its 6d .per 701bs.—There has also been an active iitquiry for flour, both for consumption and rholding over, at an improvement -of is to is 3d per barrel, and sack flours ere held in the -same proportion higher. Barley is in better demand, at full _prices. Beans 6(1 to Is .per quarter dearer. Oats and oatmeal are held for rather more money, hut -tile sales are of limited extent.

We note an advance of 3d per bushel on wheat; is per sack and barrel on dour ;• is per load on oatmeal; 2d per bushel on oats, and is per quarter on Indian corn. Foreign beans were fully as dear, but no change occurredlin the value of English. WAKEFIELD, DEC. 30.—Our arrivals continue amid!. New wheat held at extreme rates, and anything of fair qunlity is is per quarter dearer; old in less request, yet full prices demanded, and partially obtained. Barley is per quarter higher. Oats tend upwards. Beans as before. No altera tion in other articles.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 2.—We have had a moderate supply of stock at this dny's market, which met a very ready sale, at very high prices. Good beef, bid to 7d per lb ; mutton, 7d to 7.. d per lb. . _ . SALFORD, DEC. 28.—The attendance of buyers was nu merous, and beasts met a rather brisk demand at a shade under last week's quotations, but a few were left unsold. There was again a small supply of sheep, which changed hands at an advance of fully id per lb., and a good clearance was effected. Of calves the supply was limited, and the rates of last week were fully realised. The following are the quo tations :—First class, 51d to 60 ; second, 5d to 50 ; inferior, 40 to 5d.; sheep, 6(1 to 70; calves, 50 to 7d. Number: beasts, 1.522 ; sheep, 3,876 ; calves, 46. DUBLIN, DEC. 29. —For the holidays there was a fair supply, especially of sheep, of which the greater number were inferior.

Pigs, a small market ; prices, 47s to 48s each ; pork si(l per lb. PROVISION MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, DEC. 30.—The market for beef has been in active this week, but we look for a better demand early in the new year, as the stocks in the hands of the trade are light. Pork, also, has ruled dull ; there is, however, less disposition to press sales than in the beginning of the month. Some small parcels of new bacon have been taken at 445. to 50$; the dealers anticipate lower prices and buy sparingly. Shoulde. - s move more freely. There is very little doing in lard on the spot; a sale for spring delivery at 50s is reported. Cheese, where fine, sells readily; ordinary sorts are neglected. JAN. 2.—The transac!ions in butter were to a limited extent last week, but in consequence of the advices of short supplies into the Irish market, and the high rates paying there, full prices were obtained. The import is falling off considerably, and as the stocks held here are only moderate, holders now demand an advance of Is to 2s per cwt. Bacon is almost neglected. 'Waterford, Carrick, and Clonmel, 100 s to 102 s ; Kilkenny, Carlow, and Wexford, 98s to 100 s ; Bel fast, 95s to 98s ; Sligo, 93s to 965; Limerick, 93e to 96s ; and Pickled Cork, 2nds, 91s per cwt., landed.
