The following appeared in our tat& editions of yesterday : The funds opened at a farther fall of 1 to 1 per cent., but the closing quotations were fully as good as those of yesterday. Throughout the day speculation was checked by a desire to see to , ' morrow (this day), the weekly board-day at the Bank of England, pass over. The share markets, in which this was settling day, were heavy, though closing above the lowest point of the day. The discount market was higher, and few transactions took place below the Bank rate. , =-4)afly Yews' City Article. • The English funds opened With augmented heaviness, but, on the reOeipt of the telegram one day later from America showing increased ease in the New York money market, where the rate is now the ratne as on this side, and subsequently on the arrival of better quotations from Paris, the market slightly rallied, and closed with a tendency to firmness. In .the discount market there has been rather an increased demand, Mit the general rate still remains about .1 per cent. below the Bank. -A further sum of 50,000 sovereigns was taken from the Bank for transmission by the next American steamer. In the railway market this morning there was a general disposition to press sales. Late in the afternoon a recovery occurred frees purchases to cover previous operations for the fall.—Times' City Article. £50,000 in gold was taken from the Bank of England on. Tuesday, on. French account, for transmission to New York by the Etna. The French funds rose 4 per cent. yesterday... The improvement is attributed to a . report that . a congress is to meet at Paris for the settlenient of the Italian question. The-profits of the Scottish Australian Invest ment Society are £10,260 for the last half 'year, ' and the dividend recommended is at the rate_ o f 10 per cent. per annum.. A heavy fall, amounting to id. per ounce,.has taken place in Mexican dollars, owing to the high rate of money' here, and the low exchange in China, which renders dollars no longer a pro fitable remittance to that country, except at the very reduced rate. - - • -. _ - There were rumours yesterday that ,the Bank of- France has effected some new arrangement to meet its present requirements. It "was stated in some quarters that a suspension of cash payments was contemplated. The general letters from Paris yesterday indicate a partial recovery of confidence. The public continued to invest freely in stocks and shares. The total shipment of gold to America amounts to £2,945,000 , since November 28th. The shipments by the steamer from Liverpool, on Saturday, are again expected to be large. The Herald concludes, that unless special rea sons present themselves, either in• relation with Franee or America, it is not expected that any further sudden or extensive measures of restric tion will be adopted by the Bank of England. The LONDON COLONIAL- PRODUCE MARKET to-day was somewhat improved in tone. . Sugar : The market was firm, and prices rather against buyers. ___ _ ....---___ Coffee : The market was steady. : Tea : The sales were rather better, middling blackish leaf being Id per lb. dearer. • Rice : The market was quiet but firm.

Yellow ho ! lle 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 lie eyed the alsllo3,aria,i3hiteii Teiy keen, To see it hip "'Yellow" was there to be seen. Yellow ho !

The tone of the Federal Diet on the affair of the Danish Duchies, is still extremelY.threaten ing and warlike. At yesterday's sitting a pro position was tabled by the committee appointed to .consider this question, to the effect that in the event, of the Danish Goverrunent not giving due satisfaction to. the Diet 'Within six weeks; the Federal'Government will adopt the. necessary measures for obtaining compliance compliance with its dennin4s by force of 'arms. Denmark, mean while;.'continnes energetically her preparations . for meeting the - threatened attack ; and besides the fresh levy. of 'sailors announced 'efiterday, and the orders which have been given for ptishing forward, with' the utmost activity the building of _,gunboats._. _and._ other 6151ksies of- . vessels in the navy yar'da . ; ArTongementa haVe been com menced, and, are being' ,actively pursued for the defence and ' organisation -of• all the military departments. rJndgitig from ,the stout and suc cessful defence which was ' made by Denmark in 1848, against the united force of Federal Ger many, and having regard to the probability of her on this occasion- being 'assisted directly or indirectly by Russia, and possibly by France, the Federal Diet would do welt to pause before ' bringing matters to the threatened extremity According to the second edition of yesterday's Times; the Russian Government has sent a circu lar to its Ministers abroad; to be communicated to the Ceurts to which 'they are accredited, remon strating, if not protesting against the warlike projects attributed to the German Governments relative to the alleged designs of Prussia in the quarrel ; the circular also points out that the state o Southern Europe is sufficiently compli cated without exciting any nore difficulties in the North—a . faCt which will not readily be disputed.

The fact that such a rumour should obtain- Credence, is significant of • the straits to which French finance has now been reduced. The first effect of the step referred to might be a. paper prospe rity, and a temporary inflation in the market for public securities: The second calve of the imprOVenient in Consols was the-news from Anieried: Satisfaction scorns to be felt at the prospect of the crisis being speedily solved, in one sense or the other: In sonic few cluartdts a hope is clung to that the President's sodden and enmietic action against the State of Smith Caro lina may hasten a settlement. However this. may be, the financial advices are, on the whole, satisfactory. 1 ' 47 - /1:1-41')11 At the half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of the London Joint Stock Bank, held yester day, it was announced in the report that the directors had beeri obliged to set aside 60,000 out • . - of the net profits of the half-year to meet the losses inctirted by the failure of Messrs: Streat field, Laurence and Co., and other firms in the leather trade. At n meeting of the Bank of Lon don, also held yesterday, the report was adopted, and a diVidend - at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum was declared. - Distress and destitOtion haVe increased to a kmehtable eitent among the London popu lation within the • last few days. On Wednesday the east end of the metropolis pre sented a sad appearance, in consequence of the large number of destitute labouring men standing outside the workhouse doors, and parading the chief thoroughfares, seeking for alms. At the Thames police court the number of iinetnployed labourers relieved in a few days swelled to 1,500, of whotn 1,100 received trifling assistance on Monday. It was announced that on Wednesday only women would be relieved. At noon a vast number of poor women, thinly clad, many suffer ing from cold and hunger, assembled in the street. They continued to increase until three o'clock, when they amounted to at least 2,000. Soon after four o'clock. their number had increased to 0,000. The Work of relieving them lasted many hours. Next to her Majesty the Queen there is pro bably no lady in the kingdom who occupies so large a space in the affections of the inhabitants of the British isles as Miss Florence Nightingale. It is with unfeigned regret, therefore, that we see it announced in an arithoritatiiie mariner that Miss Nightingale's malady, far from being alle viated as reported, increases upon her ; and that her state, which confines her entirely to her apartment, is one of great exhaustion and severe suffering. THE SECESSION' MOVEMENT IN THE STATES: • TO THE EDITOR OP THE DAILY TIMES. SlR,—The fate of a hemisphere depends upon the events of the next few weeks. The destiny of Ainerica hangs in the balance, and liberty or slavery must kick the beam. The time has again come that " will try men's souls," and on the action of the people and 'statesmen of the United States depends. a future more glorious than has yet,, dawned on. the world .or dismeriibered and dishonoured Country% Buchanan, whose message gave courage to the traitors of South Carolina is beceming sensible of the• terrible mischief he was abetting, and is now acting with some-; show of vigour to prevent secession. The political power which the Sotith has 86 ibng possessed and so corruptly exercise& has now been lest by tLem, and the chief office of the Government will soon be trans ferred to the hands of .a President, the elect of the wealthy and intelligent portion of the country. The voice of the Majority has declared that the negro driver shall no longer sway the councils of the State. Whatever may be the result of the present contest, it cannot fail to preve a, boon to the negro race; Shoiild the Southern States be able to throi of their allegiante, th6y have as a neighbour a powerful enemy to their system of labour, who will not endeavour to prevent the incursions Of future John Browns, and who will encourage the slaves to seek freedom by flight.. The Value of the slaVes haS . already. been depre ciated one-half since the election of Mr. tincolb, - and the slaveholders will, in the event of a civil war, be glad to be dispossessed of. their property in man without bargaining as to price. Should the South succumb, which, in all prObahility, will be the ease, the pOsent system may be Continued for a time, tqlt will be prev'ented from Spreading , into the territories, and by being confined within small . limits compared to the growing': extent of free soil, will eventually 'die' out, :as each State perceives that free labour is the only remedy, to prevent constant insurrection, and a rapid cieseent to barbarism. Some estimate may be formed of the relative strength of the North and South (irrespective of the enemy which threatens , each household of - the latter), by thelactthat of the thirty-four towns of the Union, whose population exceeds 20,000, seven only are in the slave States, and the united number of these seven towns do not nearly equal that of New York city alone. And it may be further noticed that Charleston, the head-quarters of the rebels, is the only town of any considerable size in the United States, whose population has diminished during -the last ten years.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, Liverpool, Jan. 16, 1861. • c. LECTURE AT HOPE-HALL.—Last evening :Mr.• Wil liam Kidd delivered his concluding lecture at tbe Hope hall. The attendance, though a marked improvement upon the preceding, was still most unworthy of the very rare treat afforded.- Evening . in Nature's. Study" was the title of the gossip; and we venture to say that few who heard it would deCide that the. even ing was not most agreeably spent. The lecture was fraught with those entertaining and instractive aneddotes with which Mr. Kidd is accustomed, to treat his hearers and which always . contain Borne gem of truth in a golden setting. The audience repeatedly manifested their pleasure at the intellectual treat prepared for theni, and we are sure that whenever Mr: Kidd agOri lectures, in this town, it will be to still increaeingt.tio • pver:- admiring audiences. ,„ .b!in 87 .~.~.

Thiers; in the 18th Vol: of his hittol of n The Consulate and the triipire,' that the marriage of the brother of Napoleon I. and Miss Patterson was annulledby the family council of the First Empire, on which their adversaries' claim is founded; but that it has never been dis solved by the Church; It is on this latter ground that M; Boimpitrte; lio bas secured the services of M. 13erryer as his advocate, rdstil ills ease. It is stated that in the course of the proceed ings there will be prodUced letters from Napoleon I. froth Madame his mother, from the PrineeSs Mathilde addressing the plaintiff - as nephew, grandson, and colisin resPedtitely; Some attempts at accommodation which have been tried have not, up to the present time, been suc cessful. It is also said that M. Jerome Bonaparte and his son; an officer in the French ariny; have prefel.reci their family Hattie of Bonaparte, *hill to them is everything, to the noble titles of Duke and Count of Sartena; which have been offered to them. (Sartena is a town in Corsica.) How eter, I am far froth clear that some arrangement not`, yet to, preViously to the 25th. M.Berryer is about to publish a notice of the case, which is a most eloquent and interesting document.

It is stated that the British Government is determined to persist in its opposition to the Isthmus of Suez project of M. Lesseps, and that a very energetic communication in that spirit has been transmitted by the English Foreign Office to the British Consul at Alexandria. . A circumstance occurred at Algiers on the 2nd inst., which has produced an enormous sensation. The new Viceroy ; the Due de Malakoff, held that evening a reception, when all the civil and mili tary authorities, as well as all the foreign Con suls, came and paid their respects to him. When the Neapolitan Consulthat is to say, the Consul of Francis IL—was presented, the Marshal put sonic questions to this gentleman regarding Naples and Gaeta, which showed the lively inter est that he took in the matter. The Consul, who was a little taken by surprise, not being pre pared to answer any questions of the kind, replied that in Naples and at Gaeta the Royalists Were fighting! "Pour le droit et contre le droit." " Ah !" said the Duke to him in return, " what a pity the King did not place himself at the head of his troops two months sooner ;" and then turn= ing to the other Consuls present ; he said, "The treatment which King Francis has met with is an indignity which exceeds belief. I am, and have been, a political man, but I declare that I cannot understand how such a state of things can be . alloWed." The Marshal then closed the reception and the foreign Consuls hastened, it is said, to com municate an account of the scene and of the Mar shal's observations to their respective Govern ments. above. Some favourable rumours in the interests of peace imparted a spurt to the prices at the Bourse to-day, but it was merely a spurt. Rente closed at 67 35. TREATY BETWEEN RUSSIA AND CHINA The St. Petersburg Gazette publishes the text of the treaty concluded at rekini on the 14th of November last, between Russia and China: It was ratified at St. Petersburg on the Ist of January, 1861, by the Emperor. General Ignatieff acted for Russia and Prince Kung for China. The treaty consists of 15 articles. The first, second, and third clauses provide for the adjustment of questions of frontier between the two Governments. " Art: 4: On the thole frontier line established by Art. 1 and 2 of the present treaty, trade free of all duty or restrictions is established between the subjects of the two States. The local authorities are bound to. give special protection to such trade, and to those who exer cise it. " At the same time the enactments relative to trade established by the second article of the treaty of Algoun are confirmed. "Art: s.—ln addition to the trade existing at Kiakhta the Thissiati lideteliantS will enjoy their former privilege of going from Kiakhta to Pekin oil eotninetcial btisiness. On their way they are also allowed to trade at Ourga and at Kalgan, without, however, being obliged to maintain large commercial establishments there. The Russian Government will have the right of keeping a consul at Ourga with suite, and of erecting a building there for that purpose. For the requisite ground an arrangement-will be made with the local authorities at 0 drgii; • "The Chinese rnereildnts ate equally authorised to enter Russia to trade, if so inclined. "Russian merchants have the right to travel in China at all times on commercial business; but they must not congregate together in a greater number than 200 in tliv Moreover, cuey must be promea with a Russian certificate on the frontier, denoting the. head of the firm, the number of his clerks, and his des tination. During their journey these merchants are at libefty to buy of sell as they may chocrse. Th e y m i s t pay all their eiperises. "Art. 6. —As an etpetitteliti trade is opened at Kachgar, on the same basis as at Di and Tarbagatal. At Kachgar the Chinese . Government grants sufficient land for the erection, of a factory, with all the necessary outhouses, including storehouses, a church, &c., also a burial-ground; and pasturage, as at Ili and at Tarba gatal. Orders will be immediately issued to the Governor of the district of Kachgar for the concession of the said " The Chinese Government is not to be held respon sible for the pillage of Russian merchants at It'achgar, should such pillage have been done by individuals from beyond the Chinese outposts. " Art. 7.—ln the localities thrown open to commerce, the Russians in China and the Chinese in Russia may enter into all commercial transactions -without any , hindrande frdm the local authorities; they may frequent the markets and shops in perfect liberty, as also the merchants' houses ; they may buy and sell wholesale or retail, as best suits their convenience, on credit or other wise, according to the confidence they may place in each other. - • - "Thalength of stay of mercha nts in these localities is entirely dependent upon themselves. " Art. B.—Russian merchants in China and Chinese merchants in Russia are placed under the special pro tection. of the two Governments. To keep a watch over the merchants . - and prevent misunderstanding which might arise between them and ,the, inhabitants, the Russian Government is permitted to establish at once Consuls at kachgar and, at Ourga on the basis of the regulations adopted at Ili and Tarbagtai. " The Chinese Government may, likewise, if it wishes it, appoint Consuls in the capital and in other cities of the Russian empire. • " The Consuls of either State will be lodged in man sions at the cost of their own Government. Nevertheless, if it suits them, they may rent houses from the inhabi tants. " In their relations with the local authorities, the Consuls of the two Powers are placed on a footing of perfect equality, in virtue of the second article of the treaty of Tien-tsin. Offences and defalcations will be judged as settled by the 7th article of the Treaty of Tien-tsin, according to the laws of the empire of which the delinquent is a subject. - " Commercial disputes will be settled. by the mer chants thernelves before a Court of Arbitration, the members of :which will be selected by the parties con cerned; the Consuls and local authorities will limit - their co-operation to procure an amicable settlement, if possible, without any responsibility as regards the " In case of written engagements, it will be the duty of the Consul to take measutes to enforce the fulfilment of the same. Disputes which do not come under the head of `Commercial Transactions,' as law-suits, complaints, &c., will be settled by mutual consent of the Consul and chief local authority, and the delinquents punished according to the law of their own country. "In case of a Russian subject seeking flight in the interior of China, the local authorities, as soon as they are officially informed of the fact by the Russian Consul, are bound to take measures to capture the fugitive, and hand him over to the Russian authorities. The same is applicable to a Chinese seeking refuge in Russia. " In the case of great crimes, as murder, brigandage, manslaughter, premeditated incendiarism, &c., if the culprit is a Russian he is to be sent to Russia to stand his trial according to Russian law ; if a Chinese, he is placed at the disposal of the Chinese authorities. " In criminal cases, no matter how serious, neither the Consul nor the Chinese authorities have any right to incarcerate or pass sentence upon an individual not a subject of their own government." Art. 9—This article enacts, that in consequence of the present treaty on the new frontier line, the enactments df the treaties concltided at Nertchinsk and Kiakhta are superseded, Art. 10.—This article refers simply to the restora tion of cattle that may have strayed beyond the ne* frontier line, and to the extradition of fugitives, as given Art. 11.—This article simply regulates the trans mission of written despatches on a reciprocal amicable footing between the authorities of the respective empires. Art. 11-- , -This article settles the postal arrangements between the tWo envires. Letters and parcels from Iliakhta to Pekin and vice verso are to leave as follows: —Letters once a month from either point; parcels once every twd Months from Kiakhta for Pekin, and once every three months from Pekin to Kiakhta. Twenty days are allowed for the transmission of letters; 40 days at the outside for parcels.

THE ALLEGED MUTINY ON BOARD itAI.S. ORION, AT CORFU. A correspondent, whose letter is dated Corfu, Jan."s, states You will see in a few days, no doubt, a garbled account of our exploits on Christmas Day, and, as a matter of course, the stronger will get the better of it, However, in the meantime, I will furnish you with as clear a statement as I can give in the hour I have to spate before the mail leaves. As in all ships, the 24th of December was passed in preparing the ' stuffing ' for the next day, and adorning messes, &c., the usual number of coloured-paper chandeliers and transparen cies invited inspection, the latter not unfrequently being made the spokesman of wants endured—repeating over and over again the object of Jack's absent love. Now, you are aware that the custom is for the captain and officers to Walk round the deck, and at least smile on those little whims of follies of the crew ; but our captain is not moulded to smile, so he declined humouring the 800, and turned his back on their frivolities with that infiiffereace which only great minds can evince to puny efforts. Instead of wasting ten minutes of his valuable time in meeting their paltry wishes, he obliged them with the prayers according to the establishment—a short sermon from an author of a very abstemious creed. Up to this time all went well ; but when dinner time came and no captain appeared to survey the fare, taste the duff, &c., considerable disappointment was manifested, and in some instances expressed. However, no disturb ance beyond the cheering of officers carried round the decks occurred, and the afternoon dragged through tamely enough. I believe in most ships it is either customary to dispense with night quarters on Christmas day, or to make it a very short affair. Not so in the Orion ; hence the cause, in my opinion, of what has been termed a mutiny, and which no one but the cap tain can be blamed for. With that ignorance of seamen or over-estimate of his own powers, he mustered some 800 Men, in a more or less jolly state—ready for good or evil: as dangerous as a box of lucifers—and finding some five or sit absettty kept the remainder from their fun in shivering line' nearly an hour, and then discovers what he before knew, that the absen tees had been doing merry Christmas,' and were dead to the beat of the drum. As a matter of course, as soon as quarters were over a row ensued ; the hands were again turned up, and a second hour spent in mustering and picking out those that had indulged, which amounted to some four or five men, and making them prisonets fat the night. Yesterday we were in dulged with a change of the drama founded on the old plot written for the occasion, and partly to allow Capt. Stewart, of the Marlborough, to do Star.' * • * We have long been in the habit of hearing that the service requires for its welfare an occasional victim, but in this instance nothing less than a dozen was asked for to satisfy the gods. Ou mustering the crew, 12 were selected, and without the slightest warning drafted in pairs to the Marlborough, Neptune, Exmouth, London, Mars, and Caesar ; not that they had transgressed on Christmas day, nor that they had misbel , e - - -1 —""" having been already punisneu roi u, out that examples were very badly required, and those were ready in the the defaulters' book. * * * With respect to the petty officers, they were considerately informed that their names would be forwarded to the Admiralty, with the view to regulating their pensions when due, accordiar to their ' erits and service in the Orion at time of the mutiny."—Plyntouth Mail. ST. PATRICK'S SICK AND BURIAL SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of the United Assurance Sick and Burial Society of St. Patrick was held last evening, in St- Patrick's School-room, Chester-street, Toiteth-parlE , The chair was occupied by the Rev. P. J. Phelan, presi dent of the society. It appeared that after paying . the large amount of 2,583 claims for deaths, and 212 claims for births, making a total of claims paid during the past year of 2,795, independent of sick, for which a large amount has also been paid, the clear savings for the past year were over £5,20.

DISTRESS CITY IN THE vITY OF LONDON.—The funds for the relief of th e extraordinary thepublic generosity some time, prevailed i n the City,y distress u which has, for dis pensed under th e system o f intrusted to the L or d M ayor b eo domiciliarytin e t o visitation, s b it e ation, through the agency of men se ected from the police. .20 For many day s p as t between 0 and 300 letters a day, on an average, have been addressed t he chief • to magis trate by poor people, s • o luting pecuniary assistance to enable them to bear up against the privations to nhich they are exposed; and during the • nine days ended on Tuesday, as many as 926 necessitous persons, or upwards of 100 a da y , received temporary relief through the officers of the cou r t c h arge d with its distribution, and at least 160 more participated on Wednesday in the public bounty, whose necessities in every case had been .pre viously verified. The number so relieved was on Fri day 183, on Saturday 125, on Monday 162, and on Tuesday 171. At noon on Wednesday, opposite the Thames Police-office, a vast assemblage of poor women congregated in the street. They continued to increase until they amounted to at least 2,00 G, and as they completely - blocked up Arbour-street East, direc tions were given to admit them into the station-house yard, the great gates of which .were thrown open for that purpose. About 1,000 letters were handed to Mr. Selfe in the course of the day. A selection was abso lutely necessary, and, the letters from tradesmen and landlords not known to the magistrates, and not a few of whom were suspected of recommending applicants for the purpose of obtaining payment of debts and arrears of refit, were thrown aside. The presence of so much poverty, and the eagerness of the poor creatures to obtain some temporary assistance, caused much extra trouble to the magistrate, clerks, officers, and a large force of police from the adjoining station-house, who were under the direc tion of Mr. Hayes and Mr. J. Griffin, inspectors of the N division, and performed their arduous duties in the most praiseworthy manner. Soon after four o'clock, at which time not fewer than 3,000 women and about 200 men were assembled, the magistrate proceeded to relieve the women recommended to him, and did not terminate his humane labours until ten o'clock. About 300 women, a great majority of whom had husbands and children at home wanting bread, received from Is. to ss. each. Great numbers whose poverty, apparently as great, was not verified, did not obtain anything. Mr. Pyer, the chief clerk, was solely occupied from eleven o'clock in the morning in opening the letters containing cheques, bank notes, money orders, and postage stamps, and recording the same in a book. THE NEW BRONZE COINAGE. The bronze coinage is now largely in circulation. At the Mint, in London, very considerable quantities are manufactured per day, and, as has been before stated, Messrs. James Watt and Co., of the Soho Founrdy, are seconding the efforts of the metropolitan Mint. We may mention, however, that the Government have likewise given large orders to Messrs. Ralph Heaton' and Sons, of Icknield-street. The Messrs. Heaton were some months since, applied to for a tender for about 1,700 tons of coinage, the aggregate amount to be turned out during the next two.years and a half being estimated at some what about 3,400 tons. Messrs. Heaton applied for certain modifications in the form of supply, but were in formed that the toritratt Would requite td be executed aecording tfi the conditions specified. One of these con ditions ibas that the first deliVerY of the Coin--'-abinit fifty tons—shoUld take place tin the 6th November. The tender of Messrs. Watt and Co. , ' - ivad ehbegted iri pie:. ference to that of Messrs. Heaton, but Messrs: Watt although working night and day, made no delivery" up to the 6th of December, and up to the sth instant - had deli vered only some five or six tons. In the meantime so great was the pressure on the Mint that the master applied to Messrs. Heaton for supplies to relieve it, and about 10 or I 1 tons of coin have already been struck at the Icknield-street Works. On Wednesday 1 or 2 tons of this amount were consigned to London. It will be borne in mind that on the 4th of August, 1859, the Chancellor of the Exchequer obtained a vote of £lO,OOO to re-coin the old copper coinage, the whole value of which at that time was estimated at £BOO,OOO, the aggregate amount of copper being 3,530 tons. In order to ascertain the state of the old coinage, a considerable quantity was ex amined in the large towns, and the result of'the investi gation in London, Birmingham, and other places, showed that about one-third of the whole was below its legal state, and ought to be withdrawn. A part of it was counter feit, another part foreign coins, and another part injured and battered: and "inscribed" according to the Peculiar fancy of individuals, who, when "turning an honest penny," exercised their ingenuity in defacing it. The result was that this one-third portion required renewal. If the whole coinage had been renewed, the Chancellor would have required a vote of £40,000. As , it is, although many misgivings were expressed after the parliamentary vote that the new coinage would not make its appearance "for generations," the abominable hotch-potch of ugly copper, represented by our ancient pennies and halfpence, is gradually succumbing to the large supplies of light, elegant, French-looking coppers, which the government and the contractors are daily turn ing out. The calling in - of all the old ,stores of "bad halfpence," of which our own town has been proverbially prolific, will occupy, it may be, some generations ; but the old coin in other cities is rapidly being-exchanged for their bright and handy successors. One great ad vantage of the new coinage is its superior durability. use of bronze was not new to the Mint, as the • ! - - 1 for coinage in Canada and Nova metal has been tilt., 1-1 -• the small coinage Scotia, and the new issue resemw,... adopted in those countries.—Birlitingh.am .Tournca. ALLEGED ROBBERY OF BANK NOTES. AT ROCRDALE 4 —Mr. M'Kenzie, of Middleton, on Monday, sent an old man to Messrs. Fenton's Bank, at Rochdale, with an order to receive £5O, and instructions to pay it away. The old man received the money, and in the course of the day reported to the Rochdale police that he had been robbed of it. He states that on leaving the bank, as he was crossing the pig market, he met two men who entered into conversation with him, and induced him to show them the 124 steps leading to the parish church ; that afterwards, they adjourned to a public house, where a show of gold by one of his companions induced him to exhibit his notes; that, without releas . [rig his hold of these, he returned them to his pocket; hat the two men soon after left the house, and on the old man proceeding to make the ordered payments, ho found his Bank of England notes converted into those of the " Bank of Elegance," On being questioned, however; the old man varied his statement as to the probable age of one of the men, and was also unable with any degree of certainty to point out the house at which the allqed rem:lCl:try exhibition took place. HAVE TILE LOIVEIt ANI . IO4tB POIVER Or COUNT ING ?-A friend of M. Arigo's gives an account of a curious experiment made by that philosopher With a view to solve this question. A semi-domesticated magpie was accustomed to be fed in a hut placed neat of free in which she roosted. The meat was put into the hdt ; and she used to come down and take it when the person Who placed it there was gone. One day two persons tea the meat in and one returned, leaving his companion behind. The magpie, perceiving that - two had entered and but one come out, would not leave her perch. Prom this it was concluded that she could count two. The next time three persons entered and two came out, and the magpie showed her power of counting three by refusing to come down. The experi ment was repeated, one person being added each time; until seven persons took in the meat and six returned, when the magpie still refused to enter the hut. But when eight entered and seven returned, she lost her, power of distinguishing, and came down for the meat: M. Arago therefore concluded that magpies have the power of counting up to seven, but no further. - One experiment of this kind, however, is certainly not enough to establish the principle. THE PROSPECTS or TIM BRITISH PAPER • TRADE. —The Stationer says, on this subject : --" It .will be evident that the prospects of the British paper trade are not, in our opinion, so mournful as those in which our most prosperous manufattorers indulged during the crisis of last year, submitted,, as that appeared to be, to the malignant will, of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer. The exports of paper to foreign countries during 1860 will fairly bear coniparison with those of any healthYpreceding year ; the total production, and consequently home consumption, i 5 by no means alarming ; while rags, even foreign rags, so far from showing an augmentation, offer themselves at prices which will also favourably compare with those which have ruled, on an average, during the-last ten years. Even new materials are sought, found, and advantageonslk used every day, by those who do not think there is nothing. " like leather," or rags ; new experiments are constantly making as to the treatment of such, or the old, materials for paper ; new machinery is being hourly invented, or old machinery improved, with a view to facilitate its production. All these things are being done by Eng= lishmen, who make everything for all the world ; and yet there are persons in this country who look with apprehension to the paper trade, unless it shall be pro- , tected from the rude breath of competition, which has given strength to every other trade in the kingdom. THE ROMANCE OP THE CHINESE KITCHEN. Let me close with' a story or two, which I don't believe, though a* grave travelled Chinaman is my authority. He declares that the following cruel receipt makes a favourite dish with the mandarins in some of the northern provinces. (When a Chinaman, inyentS marvel, he invariably places his scene of action in the north.) Set butter in a frying-pan over a fire, harings near at hand plenty of cayenne pepper, salt, soy, &.c, Then take a fowl, duck, or goose, and. hold it alive ovet4 the frying-pan with its feet just touching it. The excessive heat will cause the bird's feet to swell, and:- will at the same time draw the blood into them. After a minute or two, dip the feet alternately into the condi e and return t a lz . e e in ter t c e ,,l le r frying-pan: g aZI P n t r bloodr repeating e o:f t t r ; . ' ut.tuy Li/ 1411 1.0 of a couple of inches, and be finely spicect — 'The feet are in th e ie n t the only part to be eaten. Another story of cooks in the north. They build a low mud wall, enclosing a space two or three feet across, and another wall ouside, forming a circus of about 2ft. wide, in which they set pots contain ing wine, vinegar, soy, &c. In the inner space they light a good fire, -and in the circus' thus . prepared put a live lamb. The lamb naturally becomes thirsty emu, the great heat of the fire, and-drinke what he finds tithe runs backward and forward in search of means of escape. When the drinks are all swallowed, and dried into "the animal's flesh, the lamb becomes exhausted, - ,fills down dead, and in a very short time is completelyliroasted. Turtle may be prepared, according to the same northern authority, by placing it over the fire in a pot of water, in the lid of which is a bole large enough to allow • the turtle to put out his head. As the water becomes hot,. the turtle naturally thrusts his head out to get at the• cooler air, when he is fed with spiced wine and soy, which he drinks readily as a relief from the heat. This goes on as long as he has strength to keep his , head up, and, as the turtle does not part with life easily, he seldom fails to go on stuffing himself till he is cooked. The first man who used this method was a priest, whoe as it happened, lived next to a soy manufactory. His house one .night. caught fire, and he, being tumble-tor escape; was discovered at the point of death, drinking greedily of the soy which was running from his neigh bour's house.--Dielcens's "All the Year Round?' r . EXTRAORDINARY . CHARGE AGAINST- A NOILTILVII-., BERLAND EX-MAGISTRATE.—AII action for false, im prisonMent was brought at the last Northumberland spring assizes, by a poor hind and his wife, named' ' Shiel, against Mr. William - Bewicke,,,of Threepwood ball, near Haydon Bridge, a magistrate, when they obtained a verdict against him of £5O and costs, which , were duly paid after writs offi.. fa. and ea. sa. had been: issued against him by Mr. Taylor, of Ilexharu, the plaintiff's attorney. The case' having been brought before the judicial notice of the Lord Chancellor the defendant was removed from the commission of the • peace, and since that period he has conducted himself with becoming propriety until last week, when a writ of fa. was issued against him, at the suitof his solicitor, • fbr hi costs. The writ was placed in the hands otthe sheriff's officer -of Hexham, and some of his men went to execute the process on Thursday last; but.on going to Mr.. Bewicke's residence, at Threedwood-hall, they finind he had his house i n or d er , an d s t rong ly b ar -' ricaded it to prevent the sheriff's officers froth entering. In the evening, as the two men, W. Hutchinson and J. Daglish, of Hexham, were in Mr. Bewicke's cartshed, waiting to get into the house, Mr. Bewicke spoke"out of a small window, and inquired if there was any person in the shed. One of the men having .replied in the affirmative, Mr. Bewicke said, " Then I am going to shoot," and forthwith discharged a fowling piecr, loaded with ball, at Hutchinson and Daglish, but without effect, as the ball whizzed past Hutchinson's ear, and struck against a pillar of the shed. He then fired four or five successive shots in less, than as many", minutes from the same implenient of destruction, but still without injuring either of the men. Information of this outrage having been communicated to the police, an efficient staff of officers proceeded to Threedwood Hall, and there apprehended Berwicke, who made a violent and vigorous resistance, and conveyed him to the Hexham House of Correction, on Saturday. There he continued until Monday, when he was brought before . the sitting justices, who, after a long investigation, committed the prisoner for trial at the next Northum berland Spring Assizes , for feloniously shooting at Hutchinson and Daglish with a pi s t o l l oa d e d with powder and ball. The pistol, or rather rifle, is a • revolving one, with five or six barrels, and on being produced, it was found to be an article of exquisite workmanship, and calculated to do a great deal of mis chief. Bail, in the sum of £l,OOO, having been offered ° - and accepted for the appearance of the accused at the assizes, he was liberated from custody.
