There was little business done in any department. British and Canadian Railway Shares were heavy. A fall of a per cent. took place in Midland Stock, and of I to -7-, per cent. in several of the other principal descriptions. In American Securities New York and Erie Shares quoted 32 to 32k.

York & North Midland . . . The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : The funds experienced a recovery of 1 per cent. The upward movement would have been more decided but for a rumour of a fresh advance in the Bank rate of discount to-morrow (Thursday). In the other depart ments of the Stock Exchange more steadiness was observable. At the Bank the demand for money was rather brisk, but not pressing. In the general market there was a moderate degree of activity. The rate for the best bills was equal to that of the Bank.—Daily Hews' City Article. The stock market remains free from excitement or distrust, and the general tendency has been favourable. The discount demand at the Bank of England was not extremely heavy, although greater than the average when the dividends are in course of disbursement. In the open market the belief that the existing condition will not be of long duration is shown by a readiness to negotiate four months' bills at 61 per cent. The chief portion of the advances made by the Bank of England on bills and securities during the shutting of the transfer books was repaid without any symptom of difficulty. There were no operations in gold at the Bank. The railway market opened firmly and experienced a general improvement, from which there was subsequently a reaction ' - the closing quotations, however, were in seve ral cases higher than yesterday.—Times' City Article. The LONDON COLONIAL PRODUCE MARKET to-day was without the least improvement. Sugar : There were no public sales, and the market was quiet. Coffee : In consequence of a dense fog the public auctions were postponed till to-morrow. Tea : There was a heavy dragging sale, and a little was sold at about yesterday's decline. Rice : There was a little inquiry, but no busi ness reported. Saltpetre : The market was dull ; a little 41 to 31 per cent. sold at 38s 6d late yesterday. The LONDON TALLOW MARKET to-day was quiet, very little being done. The following were the quotations :—On the spot, 60s ; Jan. to March, nominally 59s 6d; April and June, 58s 6d; Oct. and Dec., 57s 6d. The BOROUGH HOP MARKET to-day continued steady for all descriptions, at fully previous cur rencies. At the METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET to-day there was a fair average supply of Beasts and Sheep on sale, but the show of Calves and Pigs was limited. Generally speaking the trade ruled steady at Monday's currencies. Beef 3s 4d to .56 Od Teal 46 4d to 55 4d Mutton 3s Id to Gs Od Pork 44 Od to 5s 2d Lamb Os Od to 06 Od V Ms. TOTAL SUPPLY.

NEWS OF THE DAY. The intelligence which reached us last night from China, though described as " unimportant," is in reality very satisfactory. The Treaty has been posted up on the walls and public places of Pekin, so that, as regards its provisions, the Bri tish maxim, "ignorantia legis neminern excusat," will, henceforth, receive effect. The removal of the allied forces to Tien-tsin was being satisfac torily accomplished. A suitable residence for our Ambassador, Mr. Bruc', has been ordered to be got ready in Pekin, and orders have, no doubt, by this time reached the Foreign Office, to have a suitable place of abode prepared for a representative of the Chinese Emperor in London. All the important Chinese ports are announced as being now open to trade, and the only drawback to the pleasant nature o the news by this arrival, is the statement that great alarm prevails at Shanghai in consequence of another threatened attack by the rebels.. The rebellion or insurrection in New Zealand is at an end. The natives have at length been completely defeated in a desperate battle, in which their head chief has fallen. The accounts from Melbourne and Adelaide are much more favourable than for some time past. Upwards of 100,000 ounces of gold are on their way from the former Port to the Bank of England. It appears that the important despatches, which were sent, on Tuesday, by a special messenger, from Paris to the French Ambassador in London, con tained an explanation by the French Cabinet of its reasons for determining to prolong the occupation of Syria, by the French troops, beyond the period of six months stipulated for by the Convention. The idea that a considerable improvement has recently taken place between France and Russia is of course much strengthened in consequence, and the near approach of another attempt to solve the Eastern question is no longer doubted in any quarter. From Gaeta the latest news is, that an armis tice of ten days has positively been concluded between the besiegers and the besieged : and from the Neapolitan provinces we continue to hear of insurrections and civil disorders, which are rapidly becoming normal, for want of a strong govern ment to suppress them. Signor la Farina has again got into trouble at Palermo, and the ministry of which he was a member has been dissolved. It is announced that the amnesty which has just been proclaimed by the Emperor Joseph to his subjects will include M. Kossuth. It is considered probable that Prince Frederick William, as Crown Prince of Prussia, will be soon nominated Governor of Pomerania, as since the days of Frederick William I. this honour has always been conferred on the heir to the Prussian Throne. The present King formerly held the office. The Russian Government has advertised for re turned gold-diggers, either Australian of Cali fornian, to visit the Siberian diggings and give the local operators the benefit of their experience. it seems the productiveness of the Oural moun tain slopes and the other places is not what it used to be, and blame is attached to the unskilful methods employed, and ignorance of metallic diagnosis. It was rather expected that a further rise in the rate of discount would have been declared by the Bank of England Directors yesterday, at their monthly court, but such was not the case. The hearing of the All-Souls College case, relating to the elections to the fellowship, com menced on Tuesday, before the Archbishop of Canterbury, the visitor; Lord Wensleydale and Dr. Travers Twiss as his assessors. The main points involved are whether the warden and fellows are entitled in their elections to consider THE DAILY TIMES, FR'DAY, JANUARY 11, 1861. E X C E L SIOR! A WINTER ODE. " They made a graven image, and set it up lit high ; • - And there it stands unto this day, to witness if I lie." Macaulay. Scene—Williamson-square. Time—Any evening since Christmas. The shadows of night were coming down swift, And the dazzling snow lay drift on drift, As thro' "the Square" a figure did go, Carrying a flag with this motto, Yellow ho ! • O'er a ferehead pale came copious hair, His nose retrousse, complexion fair; O'er his tightish eye an auburn lash; His chin was close shaven, and no moustache. Yellow ho ! He stealthily looked "the Square all round," To see if a peeler" was there to be found. At the big gas lamp he made a stop, As if he meant placing the flag on the top. Yellow ho As upwards he clambered, he thence did see A number of families sitting at tea; He eyed the dishes and plates very keen, To see if his " Yellow" was there to be seen. Yellow ho ! " Oh ! don't go up," said an old woman, " stop ! It's freezing like blazes' up there on t top, You'll tumble off on t'other side;" But the spectacled stranger loud replied— , -- • -- " Yellow ho I" Oh! please don't go up such a shocking night; Come sleep on my box, said a cabbie bright; On his rthllid cheek a tear-drop come, But still he remarked, as he upward clomb, Yellow ho I Look out for the branch of that high cross-tree, Dodge falling ice if any you see. With that " the Party" Went home to bed, And a singlar voice replied overhead, Yellow ho At a quarter-past six that same afternoon, An astronomer, taking a look at the moon, • Heard spoken above him, as often as twice, The very same words, in a very weak voice, Yellow ho I When " the peeler" came round at a quarter past seven, He was slow in "his beat," the road being uneven, Found the stranger dead in the drifted snow, Still clutching the flag with this motto— Yellow ho Yes! lifeless, defunct, - without any doubt, The "lamp of his being" decidedly out; On the dreary flagstones " poor Kelly" was lying, And 'twas no more use for him to be saying— Yellow Butter ho RESTJRGAM! All ye who lament that poor Kelly is lost, Just call at the " Butter Place !"—look at his ghost ! lle site-in the window. and looks safe and sound, And will sell you some " Yellow " at Bd. the pound. Yellow Butter ho paik Eintes.

The case was brought to a 'close yesterday, but judgment was deferred. Three persons named Poole, Ventris, and 'hap man, were found gusilty 3 at the deattttl era - Waal Court yesterday ) 'Oh the charge of unlawfully secreting and disposing of certain property; with a .view to defraud the creditors of a firm of which Poole, one of the accused, was a partner and whiCh firm was adjudged bankrupt in August last, the liabilities amounting to about 1120,006 1 Sentence was deferred tin 'ells -day. At the Lonon eo'ert of ilankruptcy, yesterday, the proceedings in the great leather case were resumed, and the examination of Mr. Lai'erice, in the course of which some most extraordinary additional evidence mit the sbljett of the 'etern modation bill system Wits eii`dittd, was continued. A deptitatiert of publishers, consisting of Mr. Graves, and other gentlemen connected with the publishing trade, waited upon Sir Geo. Cornewall • Lewis at the Home Office, on Wednesday, for the purpose of obtaining facilitieS for stopping at the Custom-house piracies of English engravings; and also a more speedy and less expensive remedy against photographers and other producers and sellers of pirated copies_ of English copyiight engravings. The present severe weather has interfered with passenger traffic on many lines of railway but, on the other hand, the railways will derive con siderable benefit from the coal trade. The demand for coal is at present extraordinarily active, and as all the canals are frozen, the traffic will be turned on to the railways. It was stated last week that an Isle of Wight packet was fired into between Portsmouth and Cowes by persons engaged in gunnery practice. In consequence of this the Government have pro hibited firing between Portsmouth and Southamp ton Water. It appears .that young officers, for the sake of frolic, have repeatedly, when engaged in gunnery practice, tried how near they could fire to the Isle of Wight packets without hitting them. A very graceful and interesting letter from Lord Derby, in acknowledging' compliment paid to him as a translator of two of the most cele brated odes of Horace, will be found elsewhere. The admirable manner in which our excellent stipendiary magistrate dealt yesterday with the cases of three idle ruffians, who were found guilty on the clearest evidence of being among the chief ringleaders in creating the riotous disturbances in the north end of the town on - Wednesday will meet with the cordial approval of the commu nity. It is in the highest degree satisfactory also, alike to the charitably disposed, and to those who have been thrown out of employment by the recent severe inclemency of the weather, to have the assurance, on such excellent authority as that of Mr. Raffles, that ample provision is made • in Liverpool for the relief of the really necessitous and deserving poor, both through the medium of the public charities, and by the various charitable institutions which have long been in. operation in Liverpool. Irapdily ) to all appearance, the frost is about to take leave of 'us for the present., and we trust that in the coarse of a few days all those persons who ) together with their families, have suffered from its long continuance, will be able to resume their usual occupations, But, meanwhile, it would be a great omission on our part, not prominently to record the fact which is so completely brought out in the trial of theSe vagabonds yesterday, for rioting, that—to use the language of Mr. Raffles—it was not "poor people who were in real distress who went about the town creating alarm, but idle blackguards and thieves." ENGLAND TO THE RESCUE! A REPUBLIC some five hundred years old would be no novelty. History already records such a fact. The existence of the great American Republic, however, seems to be imperilled before it has much exceeded the allotted span of one brief human life. Little more than fourscore years have elapsed since the United States were formed into one confederation on a republican basis. Of man, it has been infallibly written that, " the days of our years are threescore years and ten, and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow, for it is Soon cut off and we flee away." A similar doom, at the same age, appears to have been appointed for the existence of the Union of the independent States of North America, Their strength is even now "labour and sorrow." The only prospect of relief, in the mean time, seems to be that they will be soon "cut off and flee away." Our transatlantic kinsman have no reason whatever to suppose that Englishmen, in any measure, enjoy the prospect of the too probably impending collapse of a constitution which, with all its faults, weaknesses, and inconsistencies, has braved so many difficul ties and trials, and, at the same time, has con ferred so many of the blessings of peace and pros perity upon a great people speaking our own language, inheriting our own ideas and traditions, and carrying on with us perhaps the largest and most profitable portion of our great trade. On the contrary, it is impossible for any intelligent man on this side the Atlantic to contemplate the probability of the Union being broken and dis rupted without the most painful apprehensions as to the ultimate consequences. But, above all, we dread, and pray Heaven to avert, the awful calamity either of an intestine war between those who are lineal relations, or of a servile war between the poor slaves and their infatuated owners. And yet there seems to lie before us in the future history of the United States only one of two alternatives—namely, the entire submis sion of the Southern States, by some sort of com promise with the Northern Republicans, or an internal war between Democratic and Republican armies and fleets, in the development of which it is to be feared that the millions of enslaved men in the South will seize an only opportunity of rising and inflicting unheard-of revenge upon their oppressors. All the world was erstwhile shocked by the cruel narrative of Cawnpore atrocities! but what were these as compared with what we might look for in the eventuality of a failure to bring :about :an amicable under standing between the, two great sections of the American Union, and the consequent outbreak of hostilities ? It is undoubtedly the most earnest wish of England, as was well and timeously ex pressed by the Prime Minister the other day, that, " whether the Union is destined to remain unim paired, or whether the Southern Slave States are determined to separate into different communities, the result may be brought about by amicable means, be it for dissolving or maintaining the Union, and that the world may be spared th affecting spectacle of hostile conflicts between brothers and relations." The latest news is far from re-assuring as to the prospect of affairs. The South Carolina troops have made an aggressive act upon the Union which cannot be allowed to pass unresented without wholly conceding thb right of that State, and of all others, to secede, at any time, without leave asked or obtained. Indeed, it is difficult to see how such an insult to the federal forces can be tolerated, upon any ground, without involving the humilia tion and dishonour of the Union as a great power. In taking possession of the federal fort of Moul trie, and the castle of Pinckney, what matters it that a mere handful of men offered no resistance ? That handful was overpowered, and obliged to yield, and through them, representatively, the Union was so far subjected to the degradation of attack and defeat. Moreover, the revenue and military resources belonging to the Federal Government in South Carolina have been unscru pulously seized and appropriated. What more, then, is needed, so far as that State is con cerned, to complete the rupture, and challenge her immediate fate ? We know of nothing more that South Carolina could have done to precipitate a crisis, and to put the issue between her and the North to the bloody arbi treriient of the sword; Let the other States ttet as they may, it is pleat that goiitii ditrolitia is prepared to hazard all, rather than surrender one iota of her wicked demands. It gives but little hope 'of any speedy solUtion of the difficulty to find that the existing Goverinnelit of Wash tizi tie hopelessly broken tip liy diversity of opinion and corresponding incapa bility of devising any basis of action to meet the present crisis. It is evident that the severance between North and South penetrates 'eteri to the whence, then, Shall i the first step come towards a definite unravelling of the Complication ? There are only two quar ters towards which we can turn our anxious gaze; namely, Atrait,6t Lri4cor.*, the Oresident-electi Who comes hitti o rot bid the Ist of March ilekt ; and the powerful majorities in both houses, who, by energetic efforts, may yet be able to effect a judicious compromise between the two great conflicting interests. But stay,—is there - not yet another species of conciliatory influence, which may be bronght to bear upon otir Anieritan cousins with favourable effect? We shall not go the length of urging direct goVernniental interference on the part of England; but, surely, if there should appear to be any immediate danger of a bloody intestine and servile war, is it not the duty of English merchants individually, one and all, severally or unitedly, to volunteer their disinterested and friendly council, and to offer to do all that lies within their power to prevent one of the worst calamities that could afflict humanity in the New World, and thus, indirectly, inflict upon the - Mother Country one of the heaviest disasters of modern times. So far as the fate of Slavery is concerned, we have no misgivings, We believe that ) as an institution, it is irretrievably doomed. And were there no other e'qually important interests at stake, we might hail the outbreak of hostilities as the speediest, although roughest, process of real ising our hopes and expectations. But we are no advocates for a rash and precipitate change. We remember that even in England, after our minds were made up to the sacrifice, we allowed five years of grace before insisting upon absolute emancipation. We have no right to be more ekatt ing towards our Aurcticari Cousins; and, therefore, wt Would gladly see some arrangement come to amongst themselves which would obviate the neces sity for an immediate and all but ruinous transition such as would most likely ensue from a civil war between North and South. Two things only are certain,—namely, that one at least of the Slave States, to wit, South Carolina, has fairly and openly defied the Federal forces, and that on and after the Ist of March next the then Federal Government will consider it its duty to meet that defiance by positive force, If England or Englishmen can and will exercise any influence over these momentous events in the United States, now is the time. By-and-bye it will be too late. Let us press forward to the rescue, for " Blessed are the Peace-makers." FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE FRANCE (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Jan. 8, 1861. The dissensions and disagreements which have for some time past existed in the cabinet of the Viceroy of Palermo, between M. la Farina and M. Cordova, have at length attained such a height that the Lieutenant-General, the Marquis de Montezemolo, has been forced to call upon the whole of his ministers to resign. The two per sonages who have brought about this crisis have shown themselves to be as impracticable and impossible in Sicily, at the present moment, as they were during the Dictatorship of Garibaldi, who is thus shown to have been completely justi fied. in expelling M. Farina from the island at the time he did, There is still considerable uncertainty as to the actual position of the Gaeta negotiations. At the same time it is quite evident that the blockade of the fortress continues merely nominal—or rather, no blockade has yet been properly established— for the communications between Gaeta and Naples can scarcely be said to be even interrupted& In proof of which it is mentioned among other facts that the Neapolitan fishermen have organised a regular " service" for the conveyance of provisions and vegetables to Gaeta, where a higher price is got for these articles than at Naples. For several days past it appears that the cor respondence between Naples and Rome has been intercepted ; General Cialdini having prohibited all communication of every kind. As the French troops occupy the roads between Rome and the Neapolitan frontier, the banditti have not yet shown themselves in that direction, but in the other parts of Italy, which are harassed by the civil war going on, the banditti system has made frightful progress. There is a certain fellow named Gavaszi (not the eeelesiaStical agitator of that name) ; Who is traversing the country districts incessantly with a band of twenty-four horsemen, and plundering the country people unmercifully. In short the need of a strong and powerful Government in Italy is becoming hourly more apparent. A little light has at length dawned Upon the present position of the religious question between France and Rome. It is nnw nprtnin that the Episcopal appointments recently made by the Emperor will be confirmed at Rome, with the exception however of the Abbe Ilaret, whom his Holiness rejects on account of his Gallican and independent views, though under the apparent pretext of his being afflicted with deafness. It is thought that the Emperor *ill end by yielding On this point to the obstinate holding out of the Roman Court, and indeed it is said that on no other condition will his Holiness consent to receive the other nominees. The official reception for the first time of the whole of the Paris clergy at the Tuileries, on the Ist instant, has been very ranch remarked upon. On the preceding year, a notice which was posted up in every parish announced the day and hour on which the Emperor would receive the Cardinal Archbishop and the Cures of Paris ; but this year the notice was differently worded, and it bore that his Majesty would receive the Cardinal Archbishop, the Cures, " and the clergy of Paris." The consequence was that either from motives of sympathy with the Imperial Views, or from niotites of ctiriosity ) a tolerably large number of the priests of the parishes of Paris attended the official reception, bitt the Cures, with a very insignificant exception; were found to be " conspicuous by their absency.' Most of the clergy of the inferior order present, consisted of the cures and priests of the surburban districts. The Emperor replied to the speech of the Car dinal, by thanking his Eminence and his clergy for their good wishes, and demanded an interest in their prayers. An Archbishop from the provinces, who has had some disagreethent With the Government, arrived in Paris a day or two ago, and had an interview with his Majesty. He gives out everywhere that the Emperor on this occasion expressed himself very strongly against the Italian "unity" idea, and that he accompanied his remarks with most satisfactory declarations on the subject of religious affairs; the conclusion drawn from this reported conversation being that the Emperor still continues faithful to his own programme of an Italian Confederation, and in tends to re-establish the Pope in the possession of his ancient states, with the exception of the Romagna. The effect on the minds of the clergy of the news of this " veering about" on the part of Napoleon 111. in respect to his Italian policy may be easily imagined ; but I question very much whether the change does not exist solely in the hopes and imaginations of this very imaginative body. Meanwhile, in the circles of the Union and the 3londe scarcely any other subject is talked of but this reaction in the mind of the Emperor as regards the affairs of the Papacy. The last Episcopal vacancy which has occurred —viz., the See of Perigneux, one of the largest dioceses in France—has not yet been filled up. Considerable sensation, as you are no doubt aware, has been caused by the publication of the .pamphlet, entitled " Rome et les Eveques." The Patnie, as usual in similar cases, has hastened to declare that the brocheure is " une oeuvre toute I individuelle," and that certain foreign journals are Wrong in attributing to it an official source. Great military preparations still continue, and ani told that it is difficult to form an idea of the immense mass of War materiel of every descrip tion which is now accumulated in the French arsenals. Orders have been given to the officers of cavalry regiments to complete the df horses within a month from this time. Viirthet; there are now in the building yards of St. Ouen, in a State Plosely approaching completion, seventeen gunboats, armed with a formidable beakhead, the shodk of Whieh Will be sufficient; it is said; to "rip up" any line 0f bitttiB 610 that lead eter been built. All these preparations, however, one is edildrintly ' assured by the Government organs; have no other character and object than that of mere precau-; tiontir theasitrei, whiCh no more imply an ineigtable t i6feiiie6iii;ti than the absence of armaments of every kind, would lead to the establishment of confidence in peace. The fact is, there is always an answer of some kind ready, and it is invariably prepared along with the pre parations to which it intends to refer. The report of the approaching retirement of M: Thouvenel is now as near confirmation as pos sible; without it beilig dowdily it Alt decompli. Strangb to say; another Mil - lour also increases in strength, viz., that this statesman is to be site . be'ded as Foreign Minister by M. de Morny, and not by 14: de Peisigii M: Thtliibeiiel will Oh: 614 be asked to remain in office, till it is semi what turn the Italian and Syrian question (the latter is daily assuming bigger proportions) will take. If peace must be maintained, IA de Per signy will certainly assume the seals resigned by M. Thouvenel; if the contrary, M. de Morny will take the direction of affairs. Among other proofs which are adduced of the resumption of a friendly understanding between France and Russia, is the alleged fact that the Poles residing in Paris hate been peremptorily refused permission to establish a journal here for the purpose of advocating the cause Of Polish natiOriality.. I atii not atVare that any restrictions have been imposed upon the Hungarian pamphlets and addresses having similar objects. The tightening of the discount market in both capitals has of course made itself felt in regard to the prices of all descriptions of securities. Rente has been sold so low as 66f. 90c., and there are few buyers at that price. :,-.;- THE COURT► Ossomm, Jan. 9. The Queen, Prince Consort, and Royal Family walked in the grounds this morning.

Jules Janin, fully appreciating the excellence of Lord Derby's delightful translation of some of the best odes of Horace, recently confided to a friend in England a copy of his own French version of that author, with a request that he would forward it to his lordship. M. Jules Janin joined to the work some graceful French verses in honour of the noble translator. The gift has been most graciously acknowledged in the following letter, which does equal honour to the writer and to the French author : " KNOWSLEY, Dec. 31, 1860.—Sir,—A long and painful illness, of between three and four months, has thrown my correspondence greatly into arrear, and will, I hope s be accepted as an apology for my not having earlier acknowledged with thanks the receipt of your letter of the 20th ult., with the volume which you have been goad enough to transmit to me on the part of M. Jules Janin. May I beg you, when you have an opportunity, to assure that gentleman how highly I feel flattered by the compliment which has been paid me, by one so highly distinguished in the literary world, in sending me a copy of his work, accompanied by his autograph, which will greatly enhance its value. At the same time, I am bound to confess, he has done me too much honour in classing me with himself in the, list of translators of Horace. All that I have attempted in that way has been the translation of a few of the odes two of which have appeared in a publication of a friend of mine, and which I presume are those which M. Jules Janin has honoured with his approval.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, " DERBY." LORD BROUGHAM. With reference to an invitation to be present at the ceremonial on Tuesday, at Southampton, in connection with the Hartley Institution, Lord Brougham sent the following letter, and containing a characteristic allusion to Mr, William Brown : " Brougham, Dec. 22. "My dear Palmerston,--I see by the London papers of Wednesday that the good people of Southampton intend inviting me for the Bth of January to meet you on the occasion of the Hartley Mechanics' Institute, and I greatly lament that I shall be long before that time gone to the south until the beginning of February, when Parliament meets. It is impossible to have a more grateful sense of Mr. H.'s munificence, and of the wise application of his important bequests. I only wish that he could receive, like our excellent friend Mr. Brown, of Liverpool, the cordial thanks of all his countrymen. The foudation of any institution which must so greatly promote the instruction in science and literature of the middle classes, as well as others, is truly a national benefit of the greatest magnitude. "But I grieve to think that our fellow-citizens, from the armed state of the world in these times, must com bine their studies with voldnteering. As in some of the Turkish provinces, from the want of good police, the ploughman is obliged to cultivate the ground armed in self-defence; so our shopkeepers and agriculturists must cultivate the field of knowledge in arms. That they have universally come forward in obedience to this hard necessity gives me, as it has given you, unspeak able satisfaction, but no surprise. The shopkeepers, as well as the agricultural class, are quite ready to defend , awl I tvuula zeal of either; for if any one does, he will find the one class (to borrow a phrase from the farm-yard) quite ready to take the bull by the horns, and the other (to use the language of the counter), showing the stuff they are made of, and proving very awkward customers. "With all the good wishes of the season, believe me, yours sincerely, "H. BROUGHAM." Mr. S.

The pantomime at the Adelphi still continues to hold atttattite my. Some additions have been made to it, and if possible, it has been enhanced by these things. The extraordinary performances of the artistes, including G. Boleno, Cousens, Mathews, and Miss Beach as Colum bine, have rendered this Christmas attraction famous ; and the crowded state of the house nightly is the best index to the success that has attended the whole piece. NEW JERUSALEM SOIREE.—The annual tea party in connection with the New. Jerusalem Chapel, in Bedford street North, was held last etening, in the schoolroom of the chapel.

THE LATE SIR PETER FAIRBAIRN.-011 Wednesday the remains of Sir Peter Fairbairn were interred at Adel, a village five miles west of Leeds. The funeral was a public one, many of the shops in the town being closed during the time of the ceremonial. The street in front of Woodsley House was crowded by several thou sands of spectators, and a dense line of mourners occu pied the road for nearly a mile from the house. The cortege was headed by about seven hundred of Sir Peter's workmen, who walked four abreast. Then came the hearse and seven mourning coaches, and these were suc ceeded by nearly ninety carriages and cabs. The Rev. Dr. Atley, Vicar of Leeds, officiated, and there were also present the Venerable Archdeacon Musgrave, the Rev. John Bell, and other clergymen. The corpse was received at the gates of the churchyard, and the coffin from that point passed through a file of the workmen, who were ranged on both sides of the causeway. The sacred edifice was crowded. FRENCH DUTIES ON OIL SEEDS.—The following is an extract from a Marseilles letter :—" The decree which diminishes the duty on oil seeds imported by foreign vessels and suppresses it almost entirely , for French bottoms, h as b e en most favourably receivea here. For the last two years our seed oil manufacturers have been scarcely able to hold their ground against the English indeed, had who frequent our market. Several, had bean compelled to close their establishments. The oil-cake trade, which has assumed considerable import ance in :Languedoc, will now become still more extensive owing to the abundant supplies of seed obtained from abroad." _ -- "`~ LIVERPOOL POLICE COURT.-YESTERDAY. (Before Mr. RAFFLES.) MR, M'KENZIE'S VISIT TO LIVERPOOL, AND HOW IT ENDED. A tall and powerful young man named William M'Kcnzie, who said he came from Belfast about a fort night ago on a visit to an uncle of his here, was charged by police-officer 721, under the following circumstances. The officer said, last night I was on duty in Saltney street, when I saw the prisoner knocking furiously at a door for a long time. I asked him what he wanted— he was standing on some steps at the time—when he jumped down and gave me a blow in the mouth, and then jumped away again. I followed and caught hold of him, when he again struck me, and we both fell. We got up again and then he tried to get away from me, but I held him and tried to pull out my whistle. Ile then eatght hold of the little finger of my left hand in his mouth, and neatly bit it off. I struggled with him, but it was a good while before I could get it ont df stirs rrionth. Re then pat one of his hands inside my stock and twisted me round until be nearly strangled rile. I, tried to get the Whistle out, when he caught the fore finger and thumb of my right hand into his mouth, and bit them most ' severely. He knocked me down, and kicked me most severely over my stomach, but I held on to him, and at last I managed to get out my whistle, and blew it for assistance. An officer came, and after a terrible struggle we got him to the station. Mr. Raffies—Well, prisoner, what hate you to say to this serious charge ? Prisoner— Nothing at all, I came over here to spend a Christmas fortnight with my uncle, and he (the officer) had no right to interfere isltii Me. Mr: Itaffies (to the officer) --Are you Intich hitrt P I am, •ery much hurt, and I can hardly do anything with my hands, particularly the left, and feel great pain about the neck and stomach. Mr. Raffles—l will not decide this case now. Let the • be remanded up , a it can be se.- prison% „.: uvw quo injuries may terminate. The prisoner was remanded for a week. A DAINTY DISH FOR TWO YOUNG GENTLEMEN. If four and twenty blackbirds, baked in a pie, was a dainty dish to lay before a king, what sort of potentates must Francis Smedley and Joseph Stanton be, before whom Mr. James Shaw, eatin,ghouse-keeper, at the corner of Finch and Falkland-streets, laid such dainty dishts as the fUllowing—lThe two young gentlemen above named, *ere iint to Ike bar, They seemed to come under that class of genius Called sl oat= 11:night gents." Beds did not appear to be any partienliti trouble to them, and they certainly did not appear to have troubled any shake-down for 'the last fortnight. The complainant stated that after one o'clock in the morning the prisoners entered his refreshment cellar, and called for two bowls of soup of the best materials and most approved flavour. The order Was coedited With alacrity, Arid the Boyer ilke. 4 dahttok ptirl - #Or dilly landed by the patrons.

Mr. Shaif unreasonable would not take the patronage, but insisted Oh the tin, *hereon Mr. Smedley gave hi m a bl ow on the thotith, by way of instalment ; and the other 'priso ner, when a police-officer Made his appearance, tendered threepence for the repast, declaring it was fifty per cent. too much. Smedley was fined £1 and costs for the assault, or one month's imprisonment; the other priso ner was discharged. [ln the case of Mrs. Cotterell, reported in yesterday's ' paper, there was a slight mistake. Mr. Raffles was reported to have said he would in the first instance send ber for trial, whereas it should have been that he would remand her for a 'week, Which was the request of the prosecuting party.] THE BREAD ALARM IN THE TOWN.- PUNISHMENT OF RUFFIANS WHO CREATED THE PANIC, Yesterday morning, at the Police -Conti, before Mt Raffles, the following cases that arose out of the pallid of 'Wednesday were heard and decided. The iirat prisoner put forward was a fellow named Pat. Kentty 4 who was charged by Mr. David Gordon, baker, of Canterbury-street, with having threatened him, and also threatening to break into his shop. Police-officer 733 said—l was on duty in Canterbury-street, when I saw a crowd, and the prisoner was the ringleader of it. Ed was given into ray charge for having threatened tb break into Mr. Gordon's shop to get bread. On starch ing him at the station I found Zs. 4d. in money, fedr soup tickets and a begging letter on •him. Two wit , nesses stated that they heard the prisoner swear an awful oath that he would come with a mob, and smash in the house before night, and have bread enough. Mr. Gordon said about haff-past two yesterday the prisoner came into my shop and produced a paper (a begging letter), and asked me to read it. I declined to read it, and then he said I 'Could not ascertain what he wanted unless I read it. Mr. Raffles : Did he ask yon for bread ? Yes, he said he must have bread. I told him if he were in distress he must go to the parish authorities for relief, when he said it would be worse for me if I refused. I did not hear him make use of the threats, but the two gentlemen who are witnesses heard him. Mr. Raffles : What have you to say to this charge ? Prisoner : I know no more about it than the child unborn, and I never was in the likes of it before. Mr. Raffles : Where did you get the tickets that you have for soup ? Prisoner I got them from a minister at Edge-hill. Mr. Raffles : I think this a very bad case indeed. Here you are going about with a begging letter, soliciting charity, and you with 3s. 4d. in money and tickets for relief in your pocket ; you are a person evidently not in want, and you go about the streets collecting a crowd of disorderly idle persons. There is no necessity for any one to want in Liverpool ; and although work may be scarce at present—although I am told it is not—there is no necessity for any one to want, there being ample provision made for persons who are really in distress. I will not allow persons like you to go about exciting mobs and crowds in the streets, and threatening to break into shops after this manner. I consider your case a bad one, and I now commit you to jail for a month as a rogue and a vagabond. The next charge was preferred against two young fellows named Joseph Kingsbury and Patrick M`Hale, who were charged with creating a disturbance and steal ing 16s. worth of bread from a cart belonging to Evan Martin. hnkar. Burlington-street. Police-officer 395 said, I saw the prisoner liingsuury Kiln-lane with two loaves of bread under his arm, anu as I had heard that a cart of Mr. Martin's had been robbed, I ran after and arrested him, when he said he had not taken the bread. Police-officer 738 said, I arrested the other prisoner, he was known at the station as the first person who attacked Mr. Martin's cart in Burlington-street. A man named Dumville said—l am employed by Mr. Martin, baker, of Burlington -street (who is only a very struggling man), and was putting four dozen bread into a cart at the door, when the pri soner came up at the head of a crowd of three or four hundred persons. One of them flourished a stick over my head, and rushed at the cart, swearing they must have bread, and they then ran off with the bread, worth 16s. This and another witness fully identified the pri soners as the ring leaders of the crowd, and as the first persons who laid hands on the bread. Mr. Superinten dant Kehoe, after examining the hands of the prisoners, said one of them might have worked occasionally, but the other had not. In such cases as the present, vaga bonds like the prisoners took advantage of any excite ment for the purpose of robbing and plundering all they could. It was not poor people who were really distressed who went about the town creating alarm, but idle blackguards and thieves. He trusted his Worship would make an example in this case, so as to be a warning to others in future. Mr. Superintendent Ride begged to remark that the prisoners did not appear to be in distress, for their friends came to the station-house with an ample quan tity of the best provisions for them. Mr. Legg, the bridewell-keeper, said there were as much provisions brought to the prisoners as would suffice him for a week at least. Mr. Raffles—l have no hesitation whatever, at to what is my duty in this case. I will not allow people like you to go about in this way and take advantage of excitement to create a riot in the town, and break into bakers' shops. Besides, it clearly appears you are not necessitated in any way. As I have just said in the other case, there is ample provision made for the poor—even where the public recognised charities are not resorted to, there is ample means made by private charities to relieve such as are really in want. I don't think, as I said before, that there is any great scarcity of work, but it appears you do not work at all. I will inflict the highest punishment in my power on you, and trust it will be a warning to others—l sentence you to three months' hard labour each as rogues and vagabonds, BANKRUPTCY COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner PERRY.) In re DAVID Muanocli.—This bankrupt, a grocer, carrying on business at Liverpool, appeared on his last examination ; but the balance-sheet not having been filed in time, an adjournment took place to the 23rd instant.
