If it be really so we may, ere long, expect to hear of some important movements in the East. The weakening of the garrison of Eupatoria, and the withdrawing of troops from the camp before Sebastopol to reinforce the Turks in Asia Minor, will doubtless be seized by PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF as a favourable opportu- nity for commencing offensive operations.. That he has not done so, before appears strange ; but his inaction will be accounted for, sooner or later, in a satisfactory manner. The state of the weather may be such as to prevent his bringing his artillery into action, or it may be that he thinks it advisable to allow the Allies to weaken their strength as much as they please before he moves.

India and China. in the Indian Presidencies, ere rather tigi The Madrid Gazette has come to hand, and con. tains the official notification conceding the forma lion of the Spanish Credit Mobilier Bank to M. M. Emile and Isaac Periere. Its name is to be "The General Society of Credit," and the concession to be granted for ninety-nine years. The chief office is to be at Madrid, and the founders are to have the power of establishing agencies in the provinces, and in foreign countries. The operations of the society are extended to undertaking the construc tion and management of railways, canals, docks, and other enterprises, commercial and industrial. which may be useful to the public. Nothing more has transpired concerning the formation of a French transatlantic steam-boat company, to ply between Havre and New York. The commission called by the Minister of Finance at the former seaport, to examine the several com panies who have put forward tenders for this object, have not come to any conclusion yet, but it is believed that ultimately it will be a question of fusion amongst the several companies interested. There is little doubt but that the formation of such a company would be advantageous to the trade of France, but it is a question whether it would pay. The result of a previous attempt some years ago was most unsatisfactory, and proved a losing speculation on the part of the shareholders. The Revenue Returns for the year for nine months, and for the quarter ending yesterday,as compared with the cor responding periods of the year, 1854, were made up last night. In the customs, for the quarter, there is a falling off to the extent of £315,506, as compared with the corresponding quarter of 1854, but on the year there is an increase, of £609,283. The excise shows, on the quarter, the small increase of £53,154, but on the year an addition of £869,771. The net increase on the quarter is £321,475, and of the year £133,396. The large addition made to the revenue, on the year ending yesterday, as compared with the year 1854, is chiefly owing to the operation of the double income-tax. Under that head we have, for the year, no less a sum than £13,884,114, against £7,366,588, for the year ending December 31st, 1854; being an increase of no less than ' 1 £6,517,526. • A letter from Havana, arrived per the America, announces the arrival at that port of H. 111.5.

The closing quotations were per cent. lower than those of yesterday, and the lowest of the day, standing at 87 11-16 87 13-16. A variety of rumours were in operation to produce the depression. The hope that a successful result would ensue from the new Austrian attempt at negociations for peace, is evidently becoming fainter. The sum required to be ittised un Den eiency Bills this quarter, by Government, to meet the January dividends, is nearly 4,000,0001. The commercial demand for money continues active, but the value of money in the Stock Evchange was rather lower upon Government Securities.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.—A great number of persons were brought before Mr. Mansfield yesterday, charged by the police with setting fire to their chimneys, for the purpose of cleaning them. The process, however, proved to be rather expensive, as well as dangerous; for the defen dants were fined in sums of from 2s 6d upwards—whereas, they could have got the work done for 6d. THE Llveurool. EXTFINSION BILL.—At the monthly meeting. of the Birkenhead Commissioners, held yesterday morning, the chairman, Mr. J. Laird, stated that there had, on the 28th of Decembir, been a meeting of the dock bondholders, and that they had refused to accede to the terms offered for amalgamating the township wi'h the borough. IThat decision had been communicated to the Town-clerk, who had written to say, in consequence of that decision the bill would not be proceeded with. FIRE AT THE BRUNSWICK DOCK.—Yesterday IDOTll ing,'between the hours of eight and nine o'clock, a fire was discovered in the Ship Chandler's Stores, in con nection with the Brunswick Dock. When first observed it created - great alarm, as it threatened to be of rather a fearful character. The alarm, however, having been given, the engines and reels from the dock station, Temple-court, - and the West of England, were speedily on the snot, conducted by their respective superinten dents, Messrs. Hewitt and Barrett. The chief constable, Major Gregg, and a body of police, were also there to keep order. For some time the fire raged with consider able fury, but was soon got under by the praiseworthy exertions of the fire brigade. The damage is estimated at about £3OO. The origin of the fire has not yet been ascertainei, but the loss is fully covered by the insu rances which had been made in the Liverpool and Royal Insurance Companies. M. Scribe proposes to lay aside the pen he has used for thirty years so much to the delight of thousands, but we (Galignan.) must, in truth, add, he has worn it to the stump. He promises one more comedy, to be called "La D:rniere Piece." EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES.OF BONDED STORES AT BRISTOL. A great sensation has, been produced at Bristol by the arrest of several parties on a charge of being concerned in a robbery of wines and spirits to the extent of £2,000 from he ;bonded cellars of Mr. Alfred Phillips, Small-street. tie parties charged were Mr. Stephen Bendall, who till , ntly carried on a large and fashionable business as a 'met in College Green, but who has lately been con a shipper to the colonies and Africa; George Davis, a locker in the Customs; John Simms, a cellarman ; Kendall, la 4 e °lief clerk.to Mr. Phillips; and a porter ,a service named Garrett, are also in custody. The tirs have been examined and remanded.

SECOND EDITION. THE CRIMEA. DESPATCH FROM GEN. CODRINGTON The Gazette of last night contains a despatch from General Sir W. Codrington, dated Sebastopol, Dec. 15th, but it merely alludes to the report of Dr. Hall, Inspector-General of Hospitals, which announces that the general state of health of the army continues good. The deaths during the week were thirty-seven, and in the previous week thirty-eight. AUSTRIA The Prussian Gazette has been seized in Vienna, in consequence 'of its publication of an address to the Emperor Francis Joseph, relative to the affair of the persecuted convert of Protestantism , Borzin sky. The Gazette stated that Borzinsky was sub_ jected to hard treatment during his imprisonment, which does not agree with the statement pub. lished by himself when he succeeded in he was fed on bread and water, confined in a dark sub terraneous effecting his escape.-- dungeon, and obliged to submit three times a week to the infliction of personal chastisement." There is no reason to doubt the truth of his own state meat, which was moreover corroborated from other quarters. At all events, it cannot be denied that thele was no other reason for the arrest and im prisonment of Borzinsky than his having volun tarily left the bosom of the Catholic church and become a proselyte to the protestant religion. THE NEGOCIATIONS FOR PEACE The Nord, of Brussels, publishes the following telegraphic despatch, dated Berlin, Sunday even ing, Dec. 30 : A circular emanating from the Imperial Chancery of St. Petersburg, dated the 10th (22nd) of December, announces that the Emperor con• sents to the the third point of the guarantee formulated at the Vienna conferences, regulated in the following manner : That the principles of the right of Turkey to close the straits is maintained. That no warlike flag be admitted in the Black Sea, save those of the naval forces of Russia and Turkey. That the amount of naval force to be maintained in that Sea is to be as much as those two powers may think proper by common understanding, and that that number be fixed by direct negotiation between Russia and Turkey without any ostensible participation of the other powers. SPAIN Letters dated Madrid, December 25th, inform us that in the Cortes Senor 'Bruil read the bill authorising the establishment of a new bank, on the principles of, and in connexion with, the Credit Mobilier Company of Paris ; and authoriz ing the Government to make similar concessions on the same -bases, when they may consider it advantageous to do so. The bill was referred to the sections for the nomination of a committee to repoit upon it, The sitting of the Cortes was prolonged last levening in 'Order to close the debate on the authorization bill to collect the taxes, &c. A long debate took place on the hostile report of the minority of the committee, which was finally rejected, and that of the majority adopted by a large majority. The assembly adjourned at 7 p.m., till the 28th. General O'Donnell continued throughout yester day suffering considerable pain at times, with of ralevlati.an ; leari tern hours' sleep at night which gave him much relief. It is feared there is some organic disease in this case. Some speculators on the Bolsa are already selling stock, in the expectation of Gen.

The number in town and coun try is about 10,000. PRIVATE BANK FAirunx.—The notes of Messrs. Palmer and Greene, private bankers, of Lichfield, were refused yesterday by their London agents, Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith. This was an old established house, dating from the year 1765, of great respectability. The South Eastern Gazette reports that a poor boy named Claringbould was lately killed by a thrashing machine at Asb, in Kent. When the body was taken home his grandmother was greatly affected by the sight of the mangled tremains. She retired for the, night, but expired in the course of a couple of hours through grief. A matrimonial alliance is stated to be concluded between the youthful Marquis of Lothian and the Lady Susan Ramsay, elder daughter of the Marquis of Dalhousie: The Marquis is on his return from India, after which the nuptials are expected to be celebrated. His lordship's estates in Edinburgh, Roxburgh, and Norfolk counties, are estimated to yield £40.000 per annum. THE LONDON OMNIBUS COMPANY (ENGLISH).--WO have been informed on authority on which we can rely, that General Wyndham, who so successfully carried the reduction of the mileage duty in the last session of parliament against the whole force of the government, has consented to become the patron of Mr. Bradfield's new English Omnibus Com pany, which proposes to place an improved description of omnibus immediately on the streets of London. VOLCANO IN THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.—lecordinz to the Washington Intelligencer, the eruption of the volcano of Hawaii is becoming horribly dangerous. The higher regions of the mountain are flooded with vast tracts of smoking lava, while the streams which have flowed down the side of the mountain spread over a surface of several miles in breadth. The mainstream, including all its- wind ings must be more than 60 miles long, with an average breadth of three miles. SERGEANT BRODIE, OF THE iST DRAGOONS.---4 further stAp has been taken in the case of Serjeant Alexander Brodie, of the Ist (Royal) Dragoons, who was dismissed her Majesty's service, in consequence of having prevented a duel between two of the officers connected with the Canter bury depot,:early in the past year. He has since memoralised the Chelsea Board in favour of an increase of his pension from is per day, as fixed by that board, for a servitude of nearly nineteen years, seventeen as a serjeant. An answer to that memorial has been received,- increasing the pension from is to is 3d a-day, in consideration of his long service as a serjeant. FURTHER REDUCTION IN THE PRICES OF FOOD.—Yester day morning a general, reduction took place in London in the prices ofrevery description of provisions, with the exception of bread. The prices of butchers' meat have declined considerably, and mutton of excellent quality sells, by retail, at the-following prices, viz., breasts,(so ; shoulders, 6d to 64d ; and legs, lid per lb. Beef, roasting pieces, 8d to so; boiling and salting ditto, aid to ; and steaks off the leg of mutton piece, at 84 per pound. Geese are so plentiful, that the salesmen, to effect a mar-. ket for them, are obliged to raffle them. The retail grocers have reduced the price of sugar another halfpenny ; inferior Brazil sells at sd, and West India at 5} per pound, Good loaf can be had at 61d per pound. A frightful accident, thoughllortunately not attended by loss of life, took place at the Roman Catholic chapel of Plaugherrow, in the county of Sligo, on the Christ mas morning. A local paper describing the occurrence, says :—When prayers were about to commence, the chapel was crowded to excess, and at that moment, while the people were ;on their knees, the gallery, which was crowded, gave a sudden crash, threatening to sink under the great weight. A scene of wild confusion followed, while the shrieks of women and shouts of men filled the entire building. Several were trampled down in the rush to get out, and as only ono door was open, few were able to go Instantly the windows were broken, and men and women jumped through heedless of consequences. Two poor men who acted as collectors were much injured, one of whom, named O'Brien, received serious injury of the back, as he was absolutely walked over. Several women also sustained serious injuries, but no one pro videntially was killed, although it was miraculous how all escaped. Immediately upon hearing of the accident Sir Robert Gore Booth sent his carriage and horses to remove the unfortunate sufferers ; and O'Brien had to be rolled in flannel, humanely sent by Sir Robert before he could be removed, uld have been value for the small sum NS !cured adlni, room, the front re a ple, S INQUESTS.—. 3 quests :—On 0 the C, v of Dorot ?ars, who resided in a conrto a the evirl man nam seats being only a variety of -priz Nil for at the close of the entertainment ng bill of fare could have b fence was that a large audience , but ,ertainment g variety to tea and )rover held t Andrew's-street, aged ore and a lamed Lucy Brocklebank, it appeared that the d was always (when she could get liquor) drunk. inday night the deceased and her husband were tnd were put to bed in that condition, and in the 3ased was found dead in bed.

THE WAR, FRANCE. Up to the hour at which we went to press the letters of our Paris correspondent, of Monday's date had not reached us. We learn, however, by despatches from Marseilles dated yesterday, 9.10 a.m., that the Indus had arrived with advices from Constantinople of the 24th, and from,the Crimea of the .22nd ult. The English steamer Vulcan, which left the Crimea on the 15th December had arrived with 200 soldiers on board. The Paris papers, whieh"did not arrive until a late hour contain nothing of political importance. Accounts from Marseilles state that the commis-' sion for cutting through the Isthmus of Suez had returned from UpPer Egypt, and that the results of the inqury had proved most satisfactory. Letters from Konigsburg speak of the great joy expressed at St. Petersburg by the anticipation of a return to peace. We have-advises from S Petersburg, to the date 3rd ultimo n that the Minister of War has vertised for the supply of 139 complete mortar From them N of the to -day ad carriages, and fittings for an immense number of others. They are to be delivered early in the spring. 5,280 cwt of ordnance stores are to be.delivered at Archangel. The arsenals of this port are ready to contract for the delivery of 200,000 lbs. of Russian lead. The news from St. Petersburg mainly consists of accounts of renewed preparations for wa Emperor has commanded 'Count Peroffsky, Min ister of Appanages, to issue a fresh proclination to the peasants of the Crown domains, calling on them to raise a second corps of Sharpshooters, to bear the name of the Itnperial family, and defend Holy Russia against the enemies of the orthodox faith. The government has ordered a commutation of the robat (compulsory services of the peasants on the lord's demesne, payments in kind, &c ), ter- minable in three years. We also learn from St Petersburg that an Imperial ukase orders a new coinage of copper to the amount of three millions of silver roubles, to be commenced as soon as the issue previously ordered shall have been corn- Dieted. PRUSSIA From Berlin, under date of the 31st ultimo, we learn that the Swedish arsensals and military establishments are actively employed in the prepa ration of every kind of warlike material. The finances have been managed with such economy, that the governMent has several millions of thalers in hand, all of which are to be devoted to fully equipping the army and navy. The intention of the Emperor of Russia to eman cipate the serfs, is set afloat to enlist the sympathies of Europe. On the contrary, some ameliorations introduced by the Emperor Nicholas have been abrogated by the present Czar as a sop to the nobility. The publication of the Austrian Concordat with the Pope is prohibited in Russia and Poland. Both the Greeks and Catholics in Russia would be discontented with the compara tive position of their respective Churches. • The news that reached here some little time back of an improvement in the health of Prince Paskewitsch turns out to have heed either un founded or illusory; he is stated now to be getting worse and worse ; all hopes of his eventual recovery are now given up, but it is believed he may linger yet for several months. At the time of Count Esterhazy's passing through Warsaw (21st) and calling upon him, he was able to leave his bed and receive the Austrian visitor seated in an aim chair. AUSTRIA Advices dated Vienna, announce that Count George Esterhazy has communicated to the King of Prussia the propositions which, on the 17th ult., were forwarded to St. Petersburg ; and Col. Manteuffel, his Majesty's confidential agent, has received instructions to communicate to this court his royal master's intentions. It was not likely that Prussia would openly express her dis approval of the conditions made, but it will pro_ bably be seen that she will offer to make conees. sion to Austria, if the latter will promise to en deavour to procure more favorable terms for Russia. It is believed here that Baron Manteuffel, having taken alarm at the energy recently displayed by Bavaria and Saxony, considers it necessary to take a step in advance, in order that Prussia may not be completely isolated. We are in total igno rance of what is doing in Saxony, but it is evident that something unusual_ is going on, as Baron Konneritz, the xon Minister at this Court, has, in obedience to orders received by electric tele graph, gone to Dresden. The follow proposals" which re the Cabinet of lescribed to be the " tents of is to lay of a perfect and standing. between the Western Powers and Austria, bot t h with regard to the tenour of the conditions of peace which are to provide the necessary guaran tees, and to the common action of the Allies in case of their being rejected." • The proposals contain : ".1. The relinquishment of the Russian Protec torate over the Danubian Principalities and the conditions essential to a securing of a new order of things there. This difficult point, which is already in process of being carried out, is drawn up so decisively and clearly, that in case of its acceptance every prejudicial influence on the part of. Russia on the deliberations as to the regula• tion of the affairs of the Principalities is exclu ded at once. Russia is required simply to give her assent to the arrangements about to be made, without participating in any deliberation or any resolution on the subject. " 2. Cession of a portion of Bessarabia, to such an extent that Russia would be not only removed from the delta of the Danube, but would have to give up her entire position on that river. The geographical line for the future Russian frontier is traced -on a map appended to the papers, and according to that the Russian frontier would -be considerably thrust back. _ _ "3. Neutralisation of the Black Sea, without any Russian fortresses and arsenals on its coasts ; at the mouths of the Danube, however, there is to be a station for vessels of war of small burden, for the purposes of marine police. "4. Common protection of the Christian sub jects of the Porte " All the above points have been prmosed by kustria ; the following have been added by the Western Powers :—Admission of, Consuls into the harbours of the Black Sea, and an undertaking on the part of Russia never for the future to erect any fortifications on the Aland Isles. The term allowed to Russia by Count Esterhazy, who was expected to arrive in S. Petersburg by the 24th or 25th, is very short, and in ten days the decision must be made. Should the proposals be rejected, the immediate breaking off of diplomatic relations between Russia and Austria would ensue." The negociations between Baron Bruck and the Credit and Commercial Bank in reference to the Italian railroads have already begun. The com pany will, not only have the Lombardo-Venetian, but also the Central Italian, railroad The news of the Turin pap( de Chambord has visited the Nervi is totally unfounded Countess did not t quit Frohsdorf that the Count leen Amelie at 'he Count and the 17th Venice until Count Buol, Baron Bach, and Count Leo Thun have received permission from the Emperor to wear the Grand Cross of the Pius Order, which they re ceived from the Pope as a reward for the complais ance they displayed in the matter of the Concordat. Prince Menschikoff is appointed Military Governor- General of Cronstadt." The. Vienna correspondent of the Times states, that three weeks from the day of delivery is the time allowed for the consideration of the Austrian proposition. nEPARTMENT. —Lord Panmare has directed t-War be no rHE WAIL that the title Searetar that in all future communieat LoAship is to be adcirc ea oni nger used, an respondence h MonmoNs.—T of Stat tition of a por3on turbinr a congregation of "Prot senters" monites . ), at Dover, came on at . the Quarter Sessions of that town on Thursday but broke down, owing to an inf orma lit, in the proof of the registry of the place for pull' ship.

In advance of the overland mail, th e j ourna l s f rom India and China have arrived. The dates are—Calcutta, 1 Nov. 22; Bombay, Dec. 3; and China, Nov. 15. From Calcutta, we learn that the collision so long 0 expected in Oude has occurred at last. Ameer Alee, the 1 fanatic Moulavie, lay encamped with about 3000 followers at Daryabad. In this attitude they remained for some' ten days, the Moulavie unwilling to stir without rein forcements, and the King's officer's fettered by the absence of definite instructions from Lucknow. Mean while every kind of intrigue was put in motion. Orders were issued one day to be recalled the nest. The Moulavie was threatened with death. He was implored to visit Lucknow. He was to be slain wherever he could be found. He was to be caressed as the vindicator of an outraged faith. At length the vacillation gave way. The danger of British interference overcame even fanaticism, and Captain Barlow conveyed to camp the order for the It was more easily issued ;laughter of the Moulavie. than obeyed. The lussulmen in. the K 's service believed would at the first shot go over to the , enemy. a parlow understood h Forth- position and his )os 01 his Enrades.

The Pathans saw the day was lost, but they had come for death in the cause of Islam, and they. died, fighting shoulder to shoulder, roun d the guns. The King's Mussulman troops, enraged at the manner =in which the; had been checkmated by Captain Barlow, drew their swords on their Hindop comrades, and the tumult was only suppressed by an order dispersing the regiments to different and distant' stations. About 200 Illndoos and 300 Pathans perished on the field. According to letters from Lucknow, the danger is not yet over. The fallen are regarded as martyrs, and the ditch into which the bodies were thrown is styled the " Martyr's Grave." The Prime Minister has been threat ened with death, the sentries at his gate -have been cut down, and an outbrgak in Lucknow itself. The revenue has fallen to nothing. Martial law has been at length declared in the Santal districts. The Santals, it is expected, wilryield, and it will then or the legislature to act before they can be punished as they deserve. They have not, however, yielded yet, and according to the latest accounts, treat um fie men, like the menace be necessary f the proclamation as a b the former offer of pardon. Perhaps the most important occurrence of the fort night is the declaration of independence' on the part of the Indian legislature. The board of control ordered Me leaislative•council to repeal certain clauses of act 8, of 1855, and to pass other clauses in •conformity with their instructions. The chief justice resisted this dictation, but the re body, from expressing its opinion. It has fulfilled' the omission. and formally refused to obey.
