TVi he f o ll ow i ng i s a port i on o f a l e tt er f rom -e nna, dated the 4th instant : The a g it at i on i n I ta l y, an d the official recognition of a change in the friendly relations which but yesterday still existed with a wer allied to Austria, have produced a Painful sensatio n here. It is, however, much doubted Whether Lombardy and Venice will go so far as to rise !Igain'st Austria, Such an evept could only happen in the .case. of Piedmont making up :her mind to invide Lombardy, and this she will ;carat/ do, unless suppoTted by other poWers. Meanwhile the uncertain State of affairs places Austria in a situation more deplor able -than war itself., She is obliged to maintain her forces upon a great scale, and during the aast few days there is more talk than ever of sending reinforcements to Italy. Austrian finances are, as you know, not -in a brilliant. state, and current events, are certainly little likely; to mend -them. The resignation o f C oun t B uo l, an d th e appo i n t ment of Count de Thun or Count Rodolphe d'Appony in his tace, continues to b e spo k en o f as" a possible event. oth:the last-named statesmen are but poor friends of lib ertn and they are enemies of Baron de Bruck, who would have been got rid of long ago, were it not for the f ear that hi s di sm i ssal would be the signal of a financial crisis and a great fall on the Bourse. A Milan letter of the 4th says : It is feared that the Archduke Maximilian will leave the country, and in that case Milan will be ,placed in a Tate of Beige u n d er G enera l Gi u l ay . All th e young Italians at Milan, even those in the highest circles, now smoke short clay pipes, in order to avoid buying. regulation oigars. But what .passes in Milan is a pale copy of the state of things in the provinces. There people do not .smoke at all, even in their own houses ; the police being necessarily less Vigilant than in the great towns, hostile demon strations are continually taking place. The cry 9f Victor Emmanuel," which is universally heard, 1: not imputable to Piedmontese agents, but is a spontane 330d.emonstration against Mazziai and the Republicans ~w l o e , barked the movement of 18413. This party is com v `9 l y without credit, and there is not now' an Italian trzizolli.t l in movement i f Italy Italy wh o wou ld n ot b e di spose d to ki ll again to attempt to check the by it. e pretence that Piedmont will profit bet A I PARIS, Friday Evening. pPt y t . is asserted that a scuffle has taken place ween the Hunga r i an an d A us t r i an regimentslorming the garrison of Cremona, .the Hungarians &c. ahouting " Viva Italia!" 10° TO, VIENNA, Friday, Jan. 7. The . third corps a r armee of. the imperial army, amounting to 30,000 men, has left for Italy. All securities fell considerably to-day, especially Lom bardo-Venetiau Railway shares. SEVIA. The Ll o yd o f Pesth an ß nounces, on the authority of a telegraphic despatch from gelgrade, that the Senate has adopted without amendment the bill which the Skuptschina had prepared to establish the principle of its annual meeting "on the anni versary of the birth of Mary," to give itself the Power of making laws, the right of voting taxes, the faculty of impeaching ministers and function aries—in a word, " the cognisance of whatever concerns the happiness of the country." One Clause of this declares it " high treason to refuse obedience to the legal decisions of the Skuptschina." This is something more than a change of dynasty— it is a total change of constitution. A 'Vienna letter of the Ist inst. says that it was generally rumoured that the Porte had confirmed the election of Prince Milosch as Heriditory Prince of •Servia. No confirmation of the rumour had, however, reached either the Turkish Embassy Or the ministry of Foreign Affairs, but it was not considered doubtful that the election would be confirmed by the Porte. SPAIN '.AND MOROCCO. TANGIER, December 29. Five ships of the Spanish squadron have been despatched on a visit to the coast of the Riff and the garrisons of Ceuta and Melilla. The demands of the Spanish agent had not suc ceeded. The amount of the indemnity for the San Joaquin was placed at his disposal, but he had declined to accept it until the whole of his de mands should have been conceded. The Spanish General requires 1. To be placed in the same position as France and England in relation to the Riff. 2. The liberation of several Spaniards, including an officer, at present prisoners with the people of the Riff. 3. An extension of territory around Melilla. THE SUEZ CANAL A letter from Alexandria, of the 24th ult., in the Debats, says : Mr. Green, the English consul in this city, went last week to Cairo, and was immediately received by the Viceroy ; M r . G reen po i nte d out to hi s Hi ghness that y the concession which he had granted to M. de Lesseps he (the consul) had been placed in a very perplexing situation, and that M. de Lesseps, assuming the title of representative of the Pacha of Egypt in the affair of the canal, had formed a company. The consul added that there was still time for the Viceroy to disavow his repre sentative. Said Pacha replied as follows :"A mistake has been made in Europe in attributing to M. de Lesseps alone the project of cutting through the Isth mus of Suez ; whereas it is I who am the promoter of it. X. de Lesseps, in all that he has done up to the present time, has only followed my instructions. You will doubt less ask me what motive led me to conceive this under taking. I will frankly reply that it was a desire to do honour to my government and to render my name illustrious, while at the same sime I served in the most efficacious manner the true interests of the Ottoman empire. I have from this fact acquired the approbation of all the nations of Europe, and I have formed an undertaking in which all of them ought to interest themselves This will prove to you that the majority of the great powers are highly interested in the formation of the Suez Canal." " Your nighness" replied M r . G reen , " will allow me to observe t hat, although France and other powers have shown themselves favourable to the project, it has been highly lipproved of by th e English Cabinet, as being contrary to its interests." "I am decided," replied the Viceroy, "on persevering in the line of conduct which I have hitherto followed, and on doing all in my p o wer to acc elerate the executi on o f a' project the realisation of which is so generally desired." Mr. Green then asked the Vi ceroy whether he might make_ his government cquainted with the conversation, to which his Highness replied in the affirmative. The Consul then left, and on e following day returned to Alexandria, AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA The royal mail steamer Arabia arrived here yesterday morning with a week's later news fro'l the United States; seventy-three passengers and 76,896 dollars in specie on freight. On the Bth instant, at nine o'clock p.m., thirty miles from Holyhead, she passed. the, Europa. On the 9th at four o'clock a.m., came into collision . with a brig towing out; sent boats to her assistance, and found that she had lost cutwater and. bowsprit, but was making no water. The Karnak and the Kangaroo had arrived from Liverpool, and the Saxonia from Southampton ; all at New York. • Our advices from Washington state that the Secretary of the Treasury has decided, on appeal, that beet root, used in the manufacture of iaper, is chargeable with a duty of 15 per _cent. ; the cotton velvet part of dyed Coburg robes a Tillie 24 per cent., and the worsted part 19 per *cent. ; cotton duck is to be charged 19 per cent._ The importer had claimed an• entry at 15 per cent. for "said diick;" but no such article is specified "in the' tariff of 1857... : . Pearls, though strung on thread, if imported to 'be set in the United States, are to be charged four per 'dent. Bags of Anierican manufacture exported from the 'United States, filled with grain, and afterward imported empty, or exported empty, and afterward im ported filled with grain, will be admitted free of duty. Tea laden on board of junks in waters within the territorial limits of China, is considered as " laden in the'ports of that country ; " but tea, the product of China, purchased aad laden on board of China junks in: the roadstead, harbour, or waters of Singapore, cannot be treated as coming from the country of production, and will be subject •to duty. The secretary has overruled the decision by which duty was charged on millstones, and places them with burr stones, wrought or unwrought, but unmanufaetured. It is said that. Senor: T9.ssarra, the Spanish Minister, has- officially , informed ...Secretary Cass that the difficulties between the Spanish authori ties and the authorities of Tampico are settled, but letters from a commercial house in Tampico contain a reverse statement, and further Say,. that as soma as the weather will permit, the Spanish fleet will concentrate on the whole coast, from Lagujaa to Tampico, thus confirming previous advices. A letter had been received at the Indian Bureau from the Commissioners engaged in surveying the Indian boundary lines, which says that they are under the protection of Major Van Dorn, who re cently hitheted the severest chastisement upon the Camanches on the Canadian River, and that through his vigilance and that of the officers ac companying his command, the frontier of Western Texas is not likely to be molested again for a long time by these marauders. Southern papers contain accounts of aii_enthu siastic meeting held at Columbus, Miss., to consider the subject of rendering material aid to General Walker in carrying out his southern emigration scheme in Nicaragua. Several other similiar meet ings are also announced. It is said the sympathy of Mississippi is fully awakened in favour of General W, and his plans. The Secretary of War has 'asked Congress for nearly four hundred thousand dollars to - pay the Florida Volunteers called into service by General Harney and Colonel Loomis during the years 1857 and 1858. There is reason to believe that the Liberal party of Mexico, who are seeking► a recognition of the Juarez Government by America, would consent to enter into a, .treaty .by which the United States could establish military posts in Chihuahua and Sanwa, thus avoiding objections to a forceable possession as recentlyofficially_recommended. _ A letter received in Washington states as a reason why his passports were given to Chevalier Rayband, 'the - French Charge d'Affairs, that he had officially informed the Dominicans of the wishes of Napoleon, that they surrender their own form of Government, and submit to that of Hayti. Judge Hart, writing from the Rio Grande, says that he has received letters from the leading men at Santa Fe, yielding their 'opposition to a Territorial' Government in .Arizona. There is distressing news from Kansas. despatch from St. Louis, dated the 27th Dec says: The Jeferson City Exanpner learns from a reliable source that Fort Scott, Kansas, on the night of the 15th inst., was attacked by Captain Montgomery at the head of two hundred men, and the town taken. When the _Examiner's informant escaped, five or six persons had been killed by them. The object of the attack, it was presumed, was to release one of Captain Montgomery's men, who was confined there under an indictment for murder. It was feared the town would be entirely d troyed. A despatch from Kansas Cit . ffarrisonville (Missouri) Democrat, of the 25th instant, states that, on last Monday a baud of thieves and assassins, from Kansas territory, entered Vernon county, Missouri and killed David Cruse, and stole a lot of cattle, twent3 horses, and eleven negroes. About the same time, Cap tains Brown and Montgomery entered Missouri, on the Little Osage River, and stole a negro woman, and took Mr. Larue prisoner, carrying the latter into the territory, but releasing him on the following day. An express had been sent to Governor Stewart, of Missouri, for assistance to protect life and property. By the arrival of the Quaker City at New Orleans, we have San Francisco dates to the 6th December. The barque Columbus, of New Lon don, was totally wrecked in Shasta Bay on the 10th of August. The steam-ship Golden Gate, which left San Francisco on the 6th for New York, had $1,500,000 in treasure for New York, and $333,000 for England. Arrived at San Francisco, the ships Stamboul and Nazarene, from London ; Abby Brown, from Liverpool. No arrivals from Atlan tic ports reported. Business was quiet. Light rains had fallen. The overland mail of the 11th November reached San Francisco 6th December. Money was easy. The political news is generally unimportant. John Nugent, United States special agent, had published an address to the citizens of the United States in British Columbia, in the Victoria Gazette, in which he speaks of the injustice and oppression Americans had received at the hands of the colonial authorities, saying it was his intention to lay the matter before the authurities• at Washing ton ys that tla Advices from Havannah state that the American President's message had shocked the Cuban authorities, and produced a general sensation. We have dates from Veia Cruz to the 22nd December. The news is undecisive.. The Pro gresso speaks in high terms of President Buchanan's message, and thinks the position it takes with regard to Mexico will induce the European powers to recede from their present attitude. It also anticipates that the Liberals will reap some advantages from the tone assumed at Washington, and consequently that there will be no necessity for establishing the military posts in Chihuahua and Sonora, as suggested in the message. Zuloaga was still in Mexico, but was prepared for flight in a moment's warning. Gen. Marguez had been defeated near Guadalajara by Degollados. The Archbishop had refused to ad vance .any more money to the Zuloaga faction. A new government, under the form of a Trium virate, had been proposed at the capital. ' A fleet, consisting of five French and three Spanish war vessels was lying at Sacrificios. The U.S. sloop of war Saratoga was also there. Another American sloop of war was seen off Vera Cruz. It is stated that $125,000 in silver had been found in the vault of Mr. Forsyth's house in the City of Mexico. It was rumored that Zuloaga had offered to place Mexico under English protection, a nd that Mr. Worrell had gone to England, to arrange matters. Echeagary had defeated Camano at the Hacienda of San Mrehatas. A Spanish brig of vv...r was at Tampico. General Alabriste defeat r 4 the Zuloaga forces before Puebla.

Foreign Exchange is dull but firm at 1091 for bankers' sterling. There are few buyers and few sellers. THE NORTUERR TIMES, .MO COTTON 7.TEW YORK MARKET : In this market business has been rather quiet during ,the week. The demand has been confined to 'the' home trade, and the sales have averaged about 1,300 to 1,500 bales daily. Up to receipt of the news per Paeific, - prices 'were ~• enerally maintained, but since then rather lower rates have' been accepted, though the firmness at' the South prevents any material decline. Middling :Uplands is now quoted 11-1 c to 12c., and the sales of the past four business days reach about 5,00 - 'or 6;00 bale 3, including one or two paycels in trafasitu, on the basis of life., lor Middling Clulfs, with f t d.!freight. - The demand for transitu cottons is very light, and most'of the parcels held here for sale w,ill have to go forward on shippers account. SOUTHERN MARKETS : There has been rather more activity in the Southern markets this week than last, though the sales are still considerably below the present 'rats of delivery at the ports. Notwithstanding this, however, and the continued dull accounts from Liverpool, prices have been fully maintained, and at some points a slight improvement has even been established. A further rise in the Mississippi and its tributaries has again in creased the deliveries at New Orleans, and the figures for the past week by telegraph-72,000 bales net—are rather over the largest previous week this season ; while the sales during the same time have been only 49,000 bales. Thus the, stock continues to accumulate. Factors, however, save shown no disposition to sell under present rates, and Middling is still worth Ilic to 114 c, the market closing with firmness and activity, in face of a declining market 4t Liverpool. In the MObile and Charleston markets a slight increase in the demand has resulted in favour of sellers, Middling being now quoted and 111-e at thop points respectively. At Savannah the week's sales- have been '7,000 bales at unchanged prices. Freights to Liverpool' have had a drooping tendency since the recent large clearances, and at all ports the rate is about 1-32 d lower during the week, while Sterling Exchange has an upward tendency—both cheapeniag the cost ° of Cotton, free on board. , . RECELPTS : The weekly receipts still continue to in erease, and the present week is the largest so far this season, and exceeds the corresponding week in any pre vious year. The figures at all ports amount to 145,000 bales, and compare against 117,000 last year, 132,000 in 1856, '57, and 137,000 in 1855, '56 (the 3,500,000 crop year) The total since Ist September now amounts to 1,620;000 bales, showing an excess of 671,000 over last year...By telegraph we are advised of a further rise of four feet in the Mississippi during the week, with a continuance of wet weather. The receipts at New Orleans have therefore run up to 72,000 bales by our tele gram,,while 38,000 have been received at Mobile ; so that with the usual qUantity received at other ports, the receipts next week will probably exceed the largest previous one in any season. The receipts. of December sum up 5t0,000 bales, which, however, was exceeded in 1855. - ExPoirrs : The exports are considerably smaller this week than last, there being a falling off in the clearances to Great Britain. To allports they amount to 86,000 bales,—of which Great Britain gets 47,000, and France 16,000 bales, while to other foreign ports the shipments are increasing, and this week amount to 23,000 bales, shared generally, by the continental markets. The home trade have taken about their usual quantity this week-- 19,000 bales—and, their total is now 226,000 ,against 41,000 last year. Great Britain has thus far taken 477,000 bales—being 30,000 more than in 1855-56. To France 229,000 hales 'have cleared, and to other foreign ports 107,000. Freights to Liverpeol are again in favour of the shipper—the rates at all the chief ports having receeded about 1-32 d. The number of vessels now loading 'at Southern ports is as follows : 68 to Great Britain against 5t last year; 18 to France against 28 ; and 50 to other foreign ports against 27. French buyers have apparently done quite enough for the present, and mast pause. The large number of vessels loading shows great activity for other continental ports. PaosPacrs : We find that many parties 'adhere to an estimate 43,600,000 bales, notwithstanding the enormous and'incrdasin4 receipts. On the other hand, some are patting forth higher figures. We still think 3,600,000 the fairest estimate—an ultimate increase of 487,000 bales. In the meantime, however, so early is the de livery compared with last year, that we calculate upon the excess in receipts reaching 900,000 to 960,000 bales by February, which will of course support the highest crop estimates till the final falling- off commences. Notwith standing, howeVer, the prospets of supply being so favourable, those of demand are equally so, and the mar ket shows too much strength to warrant the expectation of any very serious decline.. The prices of this crop have been made by the buyers far more than by the sellers. Factors knowing the extent of the crop, have sold freely from the commencement, and would have gone on as low as 10c to 1030 for middling, if necessary. The over-haste of buyers, howevei ' has enabled them to obtain higher prices for so much of the crop, that they are now inde pendent in money matters, and low prices need not now ba thought of. NEILL BROS. & CO. BREADiTUFFS : There was only a limited business transacted in State and Western Flour, and the market was very dull, but prices have not, undergone any special change, though for the common and choice medium grades of State prices rule in favour of the seller to a moderate extent. The foreign - ad Vices per Kangaroo are very discouraging, but ai our market has not been governed by any European demand, they had no marked effect on prices. The wheat market continues dull and without any very important change.. There is nothing.doing for shipment, and our local millers are : only purchasing sufficient to supply their wants from day to day. Indian Corn is dull, and prices _are -generally a shade easier. PROVISIONS : demand for pork ,is moderately active, and the r market.is firm for new, but heavy for old. mess. Prime mess is quiet and nominal. There is a fair business doing in beef, and the market remains without important change; prime mess is quiet at $l6 to $lB. Bacon is quiet and unchanged. Dressed hogs are quiet but firm at 71e. to 71c., with some holders asking Bc. for extra heavy corn-fed. Lard is in good demand and buoyant. Cheese is in good demand and firm at Bc. to 81C. for Ohio, and 8 , 1-e to 94-e. for State. IRON is quiet, at $25 to $26 for Sc o t c h pi g . NAVAL STORES : The market for spirits turpentine is very dull, and we have to note sales of 130 brls at 48c to 482 , ,c, and 60 brls, in lots, at 49c. Crude is also dull and nominal. In common rosin we note sales of 200 brls at $1 57-p deliverel, which is a slight improvement; also 200 brls strained ditto at $1 65e per 3101 b delivered; 200 brls North County at $1 50e as to size; 100 brls, No. 2, at $2 per 310 lbs; and 230 brls No. 1 at $3 50c to $3 621 c per 2801 b. Ou.s : The demand for fish oils continues good, and prices have advanced ; sales 400 brls. Crude sperm at $1 33c ; ,100 brls selected crude whale at 56c, and 300 brls very inferior at 47c. Linseed is quiet, but held firmly at 63c to 64c. Lard oil is also firm but quiet at 90e to 95c, cash and time. SALT : Included in the sales we notice a cargo of Turk's Island at about previous prices, and a cargo of St. Übes, which arrived to-day, was sold previously to arrival on private terms ; also 3,400 sacks Liverpool ground at about 80c. FREIGHTS continue very dull. Engagements to Liver pool : 25 tons clover seed at 20s. to 225. 6d., and 25 bales Sea Island Cotton at id. To London : 1,230 ceroons bark at 2s. ; 250 boxes cheese at 30s. ; 20 trcs. navy, beef at ss. 9d., and 100 brls. do. at 4s. 3d. To Glasgow : 4 tons seed at 275. 6d. To Bremen : 100 cases tobacco at 255. ; and to New Orleans, 50,000 bushels oats at 4c. per bushel. A brig of 300 tuns was chartered from a port in the West lirdies to London or Liverpool on private terms; and a vessel of 3,000 brls. capacity, to carry provisions to Rosarios for the United States Government, also on private terms. N EW ORLEXNS, December 27th.—Cotton Market easier, but not quotably lower. Sales to-day, 10,500 bales. ' DISPUTED INSURANCE PAYMENT.—SoIIIe time ago, - the death was recorded of Mr. Howard, who died from the effects of a gun-shot wound. A coroner's inquest was held on the body, and the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death," upon the faith of which the Acci dentaL Death Insurance Company, with whom he had insured to the extent of £l,OOO, paid the amount to the widow. We are told that the cause of death is about to be again investigated, and the company have commenced an action for the recovery of the money, on the ground that the deceased committed suicide.— Western ?rem. 'DAY, JANUARY .10, 1859 TROE OF, SWEDEN 'Major Pringle's report on the trade of - Stockholm in 1856 supplies the following information : —The crops were • generally below an average in eighteen counties, and in farms of the northern districts the crops were almost a total failure. Great distress existed among the poorer classes in the north, and they were reduced in many cases to grind the bark of pines and mix it with a small quantity of rye flour, as a s ibstitute for bread. *ln 1856, 10,616,434 kanna of brandy (a kanna being equal to nearly 31 English quarts) were distilled, value 3,538,811 rix , dollars banco, or £294,000. The 'produce of eighteen cotton mills in different 'parts of Sweden is given for 1856 at 12;401,7211b. of cotton yarn. Within a few years cotton has in a great measure superseded the use of linen, as being so ranch cheaper and warmer. Coals are now imported in large quantities from England, but, from the peculiar construction of the stoves used for heating "the rooms, it is impossible to use them in private houses. The price of coal is from 18s to 26s per ton; the quantity imported in 1855 rose to 860,290 tons (Swedish) from 178,549 tons in 1845. The war with Russia in 1854 and 1855 was very profitable to the Stockholm merchants trading in the Gulf of Bothnia, and, in the hope that the war would continue, they gave very extensive orders for goods for 1856. The result of peace was that much of the gains of the two previous years was ,swallowed,up in the failure of the speculation for 1856. The whole import and export trade of Sweden 20 years ago was not more than 34,147,000 banco or 2,80.583/. ; in 1845 it had risen •to - 45,650,000 banco; and in 1855 exceeded 120,000,000 banco (about 10,000,0000, being double what it was in the year 1852. In 1855 the value of the 'exports exceeded that of the imports by 611,416/. The value of grain ex ported in the _year_ AB5l was 8,000,000 banco, or 666,666/., while in 1855 it was nearly 18,000,000 banbo, or 1,600,000/. Tan has largely increased as an item of the exports, while the exportation of pitch, bones, bar iron, coffee, and steel has fallen off. 4,536,2821 b. of white cotton yarns were imported" from Great Britain in 1855, a large increase owing to the lowering of the duty from 4s to 3s per lb. A great importation of raw sugar has also taken place (from England) since the lowering of duties in 1853. The importation of machinery and coals from England continues to increase. The trade and general prosperity of Sweden have greatly increased dur ing the last four years, partly owing to the advance made in agridulture, and the impulse given to the carrying trade by the beneficial change in our navigation laws. THE MAHOGANY TRADE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TILES Sir,—My attention having been palled to a report of the proceedings of the MerSey Dock and Harbour Board, at their inaugural meeting, yesterday, I noticed that two of the members of the board, namely, Mr. Farnworth and Mr. Smith, both gentlemen connected with the timber trade, quite ignore the fact stated in my letter to you, as also those advanced by Mr. Chaloner in his letter to the board. Mr. Farnworth observes that my letter and Mr. Chaloner's are calculated to lead the public astray on the subject; but I beg to inform the public, through your columns, that it is Mr. Farnworth who desires to lead the board astray. Since my last letter to you, the Esther, the vessel alluded to therein, has arrived from Honduras, and been ordered to London, owing to the fact of there being already three vessels_ waiting _to discharge their cargoes, which ordinary facilities would have enabled the broker to dispose of, and thus have left a bare market for the Esther's cargo. • Facts of this-kind must prove to the more intelligent and disinterested members of the board how much reliance is to be placed on the sweeping assertions of Mr. Farnworth, who, though he professes so much knowledge of the subject, has had, I am informed, no practical experience of the mahogany trade as a broker. Recent monetary derangements in London should be a means - of. diverting a large increase of this branch of trade to Liverpool ; but if the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, at the instance of Messrs. Farnworth and Smith, not only withhold every reasonable facility for the development of the trade, and will not see that the present mode of working the timber docks obstructs rather than forwards business—then it is quite certain that, whenever it is possible, importers will prefer Hull or London, as practically illustrated in the case of the Esther, in whose cargo I happen to be inter ested. In conclusion and in• support of my statements, I beg to enclose for your satis faction an extract from the catalogue of Mr. Edward Chaloner :-=" Whilst I am but to-day able to fix the opening of the next periodical auction sales, I may yet observe that, had it not been for the state of things above referred to, the several cargoes herein catalogued would, ere this, have partially entered into consumption, and their place being taken by fresher imports, amongst which is the cargo per Esther, from Honduras, and two cargoes of -Spanish mahogany, all ordered to London—these last so ordered by a Live'rpool resident importer."—l am, sir, your obedient servant, CHARLES VIDAL. Adolph Hotel, January 7, 1859 TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTIIERN TIMES Sir,—l beg to inform the public, through your journal, that my reasons for omitting to write to Messrs. Smith and Farnworth (as candidates for the new :Mersey Dock and Harbour Board) on the subject of dock obstruction in this locality, arose from the fact that their respective offices are nearer than mine to the scenes of mismanagement complained of ; and, as they have undertaken to represent the timber trade, I did not question their knowledge of -the fact.--I remain, sir, your obedient servant, EDWARD CHALONER, ' No. 6, eastside of Queen's Dock, 7th Jan., 1859. *** Mention having been made of the trade in mahogany in the Clyde, I beg to remark that it has there almost ceased for a series of years past! HENESSY v. WARKE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES Sir, Having noticed, in your paper of Tuesday last, a report of a case in the• Court of Passage, for slander, Henessy v. Walker, which should have read as follows :—Henessy v. Warke —The plaintiff in this ease was an upholsterer and cabinet maker, residing at 10, Upper Hill-street, and the defendant, viz., William Warke, late assistant to Mr. Gilmour, surkeon, •residing at Upper Hill-street. The above parties were consi dered on friendly terms until September last, when Mr. Warke accused plaintiff, then Mr. and Mrs. Ball, of having taken his gold watch. De fendant refused to attend Mrs. Ball, who was then living with plaintiff in apartments, saying he did not like coining for fear of a row, and requested Mrs. Ball to tell Mr. Henessy, if she had not already done so. The defendant had accused the servant girl previous, and said that he, plaintiff, had taken his watch, and no person else. Knowing your impartiality I should thank you to correct this repo - rt. - JOllis' HENESSY. 10, Upper Hill-street, Toxteth Park, Jan. 8,1859. At a meeting of the colliers' delegates, held at St. Helens, on Monday evening, it was resolved that the colliers of the district should reduce their demand for an increase of wages to a penny in the shilling, and that if the coalmasters refused to grant it the men should strike. THE LATE SUICIDE OF ABRIDEGROOM AT KETTERING. —The death of the young man, Frank Baxter, by his own hands, on the eve of the time appointed for his wedding, is still the subject of much conversation in the town. The most prevalent opinion is, that he destroyed himself ,in consequence of his father not giving him the money taken in the course of business on the day preceding the melancholy event, instead of allowing him to retain it for the purpose of defraying the wedding expenses. The funeral of the deceased took place on the 30th ult. On arriving at the grave, the bereaved maiden had to be conveyed away in powerful hysterics.—Stainfordiffercury. MIDEAPNESS.—Having been consulted by Mr. Gosslett, a gentleman holding a high situation in one of the public offices in Dublin, who had been deaf nearly forty years, and pronounced incurable by several eminent aurists, I did not consider myself justified in holding out to him any 'hopes of recovery. He then put himself under the care of. Madame Gardner, by whose judicious treatment he has been restored to his hearing ; and as I have both seen and examined him since his recovery, I should be wanting in candour did I withhold this statement of the fact.-4. W. Graves, late surgeon H.M.S.—Dublin, 20th August, 1858. N.B.— Madame. Gardner may be consul d at her residence, No. 100, Duke-street, Liverpool. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL. LIVERPOOL, Saturday Evening, _ There was rather more firmness apparent in the Cotton Market to-day, and the sales are estimated at 8,000 bales; including 1,500 on speculation and for export. In the Liverpool Share Market to-day, there was a moderate business doing at barely supported prices. There is a steady demand for money, but in some instances a fractional reduction in the Bank minimun was conceeded on the choicest bills. At the Bank itself the applications are not so numerous as during the earlier part of the week. - To-day, the markets for the Public Funds and Securities exhibited further indications of weak nass, but speculatiOn was quiet, and the fluctuation has been proportionally limited. Much uneasi ness, however, still exists among the speculators on the subject of Italian affairs, and the statement contained in telegraphic advices this morning, that 30,000 men had marched from Vienna, has not escaped attention. It is evident the assurance given in the Moniteur yesterday, that there was no cause for alarm, has not had the effect of restoring confidence. The impatience manifested to receive ftirther intelligence upon this important subject has increased rather than diminished; and while so many changes take place on the Paris Bourse, renewed firmness cannot be expected in the markets here. The Funds opened this morning at a fresh fall of per cent., owing to the statements transmitted from the Continent of the movement of Austrian troops towards Italy. PurcheSes foll Owed, however, and prices are now quoted only 1 per cent. lower than they closed yesterday. At this recovery the market now presents a firmer appearance. Consols opened at 951 to 951 ex div., for the 11th Jan:, and are now quoted 96 1-16 to 964. For the - Feb. settle ment the present price is 96 3-16 to 96 5-16. The Three per Cents. Reduced have been dealt in at 961, 'to 96;-1 ; the New Three per Cents. at 96Z to 96& ; Bank Stock at 227 ; the Indian Four per Cent. Debentures of the first issue at 9914 ; India Bonds at 18s to 19s prem. ; the March Exchequer Bills, at 40s to 42s prem. • ditto June, at 395. prem. In the Foreign Stock Market the principal feature has been a fresh fall in Sardinian Bonds, which have been pressed for sale as low as . 86. A partial rally has, however, since taken place. The New Turkish Loan is rather weaker, 31to 31 dis. The Six pet-Cents. of 1854 are quoted 90/ to 91. Veneiuelan Deferred' Bdnds are lower.." In the London Railway Share Market to-day, a very limited business was transacted, and most of the principal undertakings have further receded about 4to 4 per cent. Caledonians have declined to 881 ; EiStern Counties to 631; 631, ; .Lancashire and Yorkshire to 984 •, North Western to 97 and 971 ' Manchester, She ffi eld, and Lincoln to 394, 40 ; Midland to 1031 ; North British to 61 and 611 ; NorthEasiern —Berwick, to 94 ' • and South Eastern to 741,75. The Foreign lines are flat. Great Luxem bourg declined to 71, ; and Loinbardo-Venetian to 94. In the Colonial Market prices have also tended downwards. East Indian have receded to 108. Grand Trunk of Canada, 361 ; the Great Western of Canada brought 164. Punjaubs have receded to 44. Joint Sto c k B an k an d Miscellane ous Shares are at about former rates. City Bank, 641; Ottoman Bank, 201. Electric Telegraph, 1064 ; and South Australian Land, 371. Respecting the movements in Mines during the week, the Mining Journal of to-day, says r • - The small number of shares into which dividend mines are divided, adds to the difficulty now experienced in the Share Market, of supplying the demand which exists, and is still increasing, for good mining stocks. Thi s i s a dif- ficulty we have long hinted at. E'he demand for shares was some years ago, but obtains a great impetus 6om the Stock Exchange ; and it will be necessary, we think, to sub divide the shares in all dividend concerns into the number judiced Cornishman must now see that the days of 256ths have gone by. During the week the demand for a few particular mines has been very great, and numbers of orders could not be executed. The movements of the Precious Metals during the past week have not been important as far as the imports 'are concerned, the only arrivals having been about £1,500 from the Peninsula, by the Tagus ; £6,781 from the Brazils, by the • Tyne ; and about , £40,000 in silver, from the Continent, making a total of £48,281. The exports have been about £541,240, comprising £512,384 to the East Indies and China by th e . Ceylon, chiefly in silver, and shipments to the Continent through the London Custom House, estimated at £28,856. The Gazelle statement of the movement of the Precious Metals for the week ending Wednesday last gives the following totals, viz.: Imports of gold, 2322,310; exports of gold, £377,695 ; im ports of silver, £363,751; exports of silver, £13,304. The London . Produce Markets opened on Tuesday with a fair demand' for most descriptions of pro duce, and improved rates for some kinds have been established. Numerous sales of Ceylon coffee have been held, at which much spirit existed, and quo tations. range from 2s. to 3s. higher than at the close last year. Of sugar, large quantities of grainy qualities have been offered, and these show a fall of 6d to is for white Benares, Madras going off freely at about the former currency, while sorts suitable for refiners bring full rates. The low sorts of rice continue to attract attention, and are rather dearer. Saltpetre is is to is 6d lower. Exten sive sales of spice are declared for next week. The tea market.is firm. SATURDAY'S MARKETS LI - VERPOOL COTTON.-With a fair demand, and an ample supply, the cotton market rules steady. The sales—including 140 Pernambuco 8d to 9d, 50 Bahia lid, 200 Egyptian 7kt to Bd, 800 Surat 41c1 to 6d--are reported 8,000 bales, of which 1,500 are on speculation and for export. LONDON PRODUCE.-But little business done, the mercantile firms being in a great measure engaged in closing their advices for the out-going Brazil mail ; a moderate inquiry, however, prevails for most articles, and the markets throughout have a steady aspect. LONDON TALLOW.—The market is firm. The subjoined are the quotations :—Town tallow, 51s 9d nett cash; Petersburgh Y.C. on the spot, 52s to 52s 3d ; January to March, 52s to 52s 3d ; March only, 52s 6d to 52s 9d; April to June, 50s 3d to 50s 6d; October to December, 51s 6d. Market Averages : Town tallow, 54s 3d ; fat by ditto, 2s 14d ; yellow Russian, 53s Gd ; melted stuff, 33s 6d ; rough ditto, 23s ; tallow graves, 16s ; good dregs, 7s. WOOL AND WOOLLEN MAAKETS.—Leeds—Wool: There has been rather a quiet week in English wool, but prices are decidedly firm. In colonial there is a steady business, with the prospect of somewhat higher rates. In low wool a fair business, and rather better prices for combing qualities. Bradford—Worsted English wools are extremely firm in price, but only a limited business is doing, the advance asked by the staplers, particularly for bright-haired qualities, cansing spinners to abstain from purchasing. The stocks in the hands of the staplers are said to be lighter than usual at this time of the year, and there is no doubt that if the consumption of wool goes on at Its present rate the spinners must ultimately pay the prices now demanded. Halifax : There has been a fair inquiry during the week for combing wool, and a few sales have been effected, a larger amount of 'which, however, is somewhat prevented by the increased demands of staplers, who generally are asking rather higher prices. The tendency with the most marketable descrip tions is certainly rather upwards, and all kinds are very firm. No noticeable alteration in the worsted trade since last week, all appear busy.

MUTINY ON BOARD AN AUSTRIAN SHIP AT GLOUCESTER. Much excitement has been occasioned at Gloucester during the past week in consequence of the crew of as Austrian barque, the Maria Francesca, having mutinied against the captain, Si g nor Facchinetti. Th e crew o f the Maria,, which h a d been lying in the docks some days, consisted of fourteen Austrian sailors, and a man named Antonia Marinovitch, a Montenezrin. Marino vitch, to whom the outbreak is entirely to be attributed, it appears, in the course of last week left his work and went ashore without permission, and on his return to the ship the captain remonstrated with him. This remon- strance ho received with considerable anger, and, follow in.. the captain into the cabi n , h e d rew a k n i fe and th t ;eatened - to stab him. The captain, for his personal protection, picked up a gun, and threatened Marinovitelt that he would blow his brains out if he advanced towards him any further. This latter threat had the effect of quieting Marinovitch for a time. The captain, however, felt it his duty to go ashore and represent the matter to Mr. John Jones, the Austrian Vice-Consul, which he did, and subsequently returned to the ship in company with Mr. Jones and two' of the dock policemen, in order to have Marinovitch arrested. Five or six of the crew, armed with kniveq, threatened to stab them if they proceeded to carry out their purpose. The crew were now so violent that prudence suggested to the officers accordinglyth a t they shoulddesisted. not o n att e mptw eWednesday stdhaey morning,c aptu_rep, andli ee w t he however,were bulwarks of which the crew Mr. Jones, the Vice-C onsul, x p epoloinfecdotuhfroesre Citya n h d a d assembled se m obtainedbl warrant from the city magistrates for the apprehension o r t i h n e or si t ci Ship, execute and fi ve over the r so o efn u n tXr d were leaning in a defiant and excited attitude ; but., notwithstanding the menacing attitude of the crew, the captain resolutely ascended the side of the ship, having a loaded pistol in his possession and threatened to sh oot any man who interfered with him.

An attempt was made to drag the mutineer out by boat hooks, but this failed; and after some time he voluntarily surrendered himself, on being told that the captain would pay him off and discharge him. Marinovitch was, however, removed to the Brid ewe ll, an d locked up by the police, three others of the crew being also subsequently apprehended_ On Friday morning they were taken before the ci t y Marinovitchmagistrates, and was ordered to be kept in custody till the vessel sailed from Cardiff ; the others were discharged on promising to do their duty. The vessel would have left Gloucester on Tuesday, but the crew disobeyed the captain's orders, and refused to go with her, expressing a determination to stay where they were a few days longer. REV.
