PLAYING CAnhs —Hitherto the keenly contested whist cribbage, 100, &c,, exhausted the Use of the playing card.

Those manufactured by De la Rucand Co., are peculiarly rich in design, and can be had in great variety at Benson and 111a1 , lett's, commercial stationers, 10. Castle-street.

NEW INVENTION.—THE NEW FOVNTAIN Ps:E.—A greater annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with--the difficulty is to get.a good (mt. Amongst the recent improve ments the new '‘ fituntain pen," just introduced by Rudhall and Co., is the best we have ever seen. By a simple but effec tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of a second inverted barrel, above the writing nib, and this barrel can be taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly clean w thou t any chalice of being corroded. Another feature in this pen is, that one din in the ink will last for live minutes' quick writing. The pen itself is of the finest description, and in merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every place, it will be found to fill a want felt by every one up to this time. We have tried this splendid pen, handed to us by Mr. E. T. Hall, South John-sheet, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are re all who ttst it will give a full verdict in its favour, Our readers have only to send their address to L. E. Perrier, 77, Regent-street, W., Loudon, and they will receive, free by post, 105th edition of the "INVALID'S OWN GUIDE," or natural restorer without medicine or expense of perfect diges tion, strong nerves, sound lungs and refreshing sleep to the most enfeebled, effectually removing indigestion (dyspepsia), 'nausea, and sickness, 'even during pregnancy, debility, ner vousness, palpitation, cough, asthma, incipient consumption, dropsy, constipation, flatulency, diarrhcea, dysentery, bilious ness, fevers; sore throats, !catarrhs, colds, noises in the ears, rheumatism, gout, impurities, eruptions, hysteria, neuralgia, irratability, sleeplessness, acidity, palpitation, heartburn. headache, despondency, cramp, spasms, sinking, fits, bronchi tis; also children's complaints. Accompanied wi,h numerous successful cures which had resisted all medical treatment, and been abandoned as hopeless. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLs.---Chest Affections. The unusually mild damp weather tearfully tells on the human frame, deteriorating the blood, and producing morbid results in its reservoir, the lungs. Hence on all sides we arc surrounded by bronchitis, pleurisy, asthma, consumption; all of which might be readily cured by Holloway's never-failing remedies, whose active principle prairies the blood, and causes all mor bific matter speedily to be expelled from the body. With such means at hand, near health's own fountain, will they groan and die? No: use and be saved! If th e su ff erers b e listless, let their friends and relatives urge a trial of Holloway's medi cines, which work wonderi on cvL ry tissue, by substituting pure for impure blood, and giving nervous power. CONSUMPTION, COUGH, ASTHMA, AND BRONCHITIS CITHAGLE —" I believe that the preparation of 'Balsam of Horehound and Aniseed (as prepared by Mr. Martin, of 22, Copperas hill, Liverpool,) w ill prove of more value, in cases of bron chitis and incipient consumption, than any other remedy extant. It relieves the most irritating cough in a few minutes ; and, although it contains no preparation of opium, it induces sound and refreshing sleep, soothes the nervous system, and restores the healthy action of the lungs." Recommended above all other medicines by Sir Alexander TrallesL-see Thomson's Alateria Mediea, page 175, vol. 2. The following is from Dr. Brett, the eminent chemist :—" I consider the balsam of hore hound and aniseed, ob prepared by Mr. Martin, an elegant and efficient cough remedy, and I fully agree with Sir Alexan der Tralles and Dr. Anthony . Todd Thomson, that, in conjuna Lion with cod liver oil, it is an admirable remedy for con sumption and delicate constitutions."—R. 11. Brett, Ph. Dr., M.R.C.S., late Lecturer on Chemistry and Medical Jurispru dence, Liverpool Royal Infirmary. The balsath of horehound and aniseed is prepared only by T.

In the LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE to-day the Funds remained dull at yesterday's rates, with very, little business. The Bank return produced an unfavourable effect. In other departments business was dull, and no niteration of interest to notice in prices, with the exception of a rise in Great Northern Stock. The market closed at the following prices : THE FUNDS.

An impression prevails that the disturbance which pervades the continental market, and which appears to originate in Vienna, is prompted rather by financial than political considerations. This is, un doubtedly the case here, on funds being prejudiced by the decided tightness 'of the money market, which occa sions an apprehension of an advance in the rate of dis count at the Bank. The share markets were, quiet; the tendency was not favourable. The discount market was exceedingly tight; the rates for best bills were 5 to 5i per cent. At the Bank of England the demand was of a sufficiently pressing character to induce a belief that its continuance for a few days would lead to an advance• in the rate of discount to Si per cent.—Daily Yeses City Article. • The applications at the Bank of England for discount and advances have been considerably more numerous than those of yesterday.• The funds have consequently exhibited increased weakness, and the receipts again of lower quotations at the Paris Bourse has at the same time stimulated the anxious feeling regarding the events to which the position of Austria in Italy may lead in the spring. The last quotation from Paris shows another fall of ti per cent. In the foreign exchanges the rates' were generally a shade higaer then last post. There were again no operations in gold at the Bank. In the railway market to-day there has been a general absence of business, and in ,several cases a decline had taken place.—Times City Article. The Herald sags the applications at the Bank yester day w'ere of a pressing character, and from first-class customers. Out of doors the demand was equally strong, the rates ranging from 5-k to 57, for short-dated paper. Exceptional transactions occurred at the minimum of 5 per cent., but they were only for moderate amounts. The aggregate railway traffic returns for the week ending December 22, for 'the United Kingdom, exceed by £11,480 the corresponding week last year. The LONDON COLONIAL PRODUCE MARKET to-day continued very quiet for most articles. Sugar and Coffee : No Hew feature to notice. Tea: Business was nearly suspended, pending the large sales advertised for next week. Rice : There was a brisk demand, and sales were effected at an advance of 3d. Saltpetre : The market was quiet. The LONDON TALLOW MARKET to-day was quiet at the following quotations :—Spot, 60s ; settlements for this month, 59s 6d to 59s 9d; January to March, 60s; nothing doing for the end of the year. In the BOROUGH HOP MARKET to-day, there was only a limited inquiry for all kinds of Hops, and prices ruled almost nominal. PROVINCIAL, &c., MARKETS, SATURDAY. GLASGOW IRON.—Market quiet.

Barley slow, ivithont alteration in price. A gdod sale of Oats, at fully late xates.—Ninv- CASTLE : Fair supply of: home-grown Wheat in rather improved condition, and the whole has sold sharply at Is per qr. advance on the prices of this day week ; south country and foreign held firmly for a limited improvement, which tends to check business. Flour sells readily at the full prices of last week. Malt ing Barley firm and in better demand. Oats held for more money, but not much doing. Slow sale of Beans' and Peas, at last week's rates. Frost continues.—DoN CASTEß : The closing of the river by ice has not dimi nished the supply of Wheat from the Trent district. The Yorkshire Railway Company have brought a good supply. Wheat, new white, 6d. to ls. advance; secondary and rough samples of red no dearer. Old did not advance. Barley rather higher ; grinding ls. higher. In spring Corn no change.

At a late hour on }rid 1' night the Various voluminous despatches brolight by Ml. Loch Were published in a stipplerrednt to the , Nnem de&e& Theie doenments eitend to great length, bat theY Are bf thb greatest pos sible interest, especially the account furnished by Mr. Parkes of . his captivity. It is a narrative which will be eagerly read by everyone who can fall in with it, and will be pondered upon all over the length and breadth of the land. low a cunning people like the Chinese, whose in ter ceurse ,with England extends over a period of more than a century, should commit such a stupid blunder as to suppose that the death of any individual or individuals short of the entire invading army, could affect the issue of the campaign, is almost incredible. Why they should think that torturing their prisoners could turn the tide of battle in their favour, is equally incredible. The suffering of Mr. Parkes, however, will find ready sym pathy in the breasts of the people of England; and the public feeling regarding him and Mr, tech, who has already been an honoured guest at Windsor Castle, will not rest until they shall have received such rewards in the shape of honours as it is in the power of the government of this country to bestow. We have devoted so large a portion of our available space to the reproduction of the more important of the despatches, that our comments upon their contents, and also our usual budget of Day's sews, must be unavoidably omitted on the present occasion. THE PUBLIC MISUNDERSThNDING, THE people of Liverpool have been sulfering for some eight or ten days past from the mis understandinj of the public, not so much mentally, but physically. The understanding of the people here has for that period been so treacherously slippery, by reason of the frost and trodden snow lying thickly on our streets and pavements, that it has in many hundreds of instances entirely given way, to the grievous injury of the limbs and lives of the lieges. Even if we had had no personally practical experience of the pains and penalties of this awkward state of matters ) we have seen much and read more of the terrible consequences which have resulted to " both man and beast" by reason of the exist ing mate of the paths and roads within the Borough. If the amount of the direct and indi reet mischief thus caused could be reckoned up in s. 41., it would amount, we believe, to a figure which at first sight would seem incredible. We have no idea of troubling our readers by an arithmetical calculation as to the pecuniary loss inflicted by the breaking of human bones by fall , ing on the ice, but we think all will agree with us that ever• such accident, involving in many instances the lengthened if not permanent disabi lity of artisans, mechanics, labourers, 14:c., to pro vide for their families, is a calamity more or less affecting the general body •of the ratepayers. This evil falls under the same category as furious driving, and some others, of which it has been tritely remaked that their doom is rarely sealed until a Minister of State, a Mayor, an Alderman, or a Magistrate .shall have fallen a victim to it. Everyone knows of andsuffers from its existence; and everybody knows that .its removal is ent of the simplest processes in the world; but it too often happens that it is allowed to continue unchecked until some more than ordinarily deplorable event arouses public apathy to a sense of duty, and then there is probably a speedy end to the nuisance. Let us hope, however ) that a timely appeal to the mental understanding of the people of Liverpool awl their rulers may have the effect of leading them to take decided and active steps for the removal of this defect in their physical understandings, when, at such a season as this, we are subjected to protracted snow storms and severe frost. We subscribe lots of money to Humane Societies to provide men, boats, floats, hooks, and ropes, to save the lives of pastime-seeking skaters ,and sliders. Why should we not take proper care of the lives and physical integrity of the tens of thousands whose daily avocations oblige them to ven ture upon our ice-bound streets and pave ments ? Is the extent of danger in the former case, for one moment, to be compared to that of the latter ? Certainly not. The public must, at least within the boundaries of the borough, be placed upon a proper footing in this matter. It is easily done, and the doing of it will 'confer a double blessing —a blessing upon those who may thereby be saved from smashing their bones, and upon those employed to save them. It is only a question of pickaxe and scraper, or shovel and brush,—and so many old men and boys to ply them. How many such at this inclement season would be rejoiced to execute the task for a shilling or so a-head ? And we venture to say that in our workhouses and in our poorer lanes and valleys a sufficient number of willing hands would be found to make all straight and clear in every street in the town within an hour or two any morning. There are two ways of going about it, so far as the pave ment goes. Let the work be undertaken by the proper officers of the Corporation ; or, let there be a bye-law passed, and strictly enforced, whereby each householder and shopkeeper shall be bound under a penalty wholly to clear away the snow and ice from the pavement immediately in front of their several tenements before a certain hour. This latter is the system most commonly adopted in other large towns, and may probably be the most easy and economical. There is no practical diffi culty in carrying it into practice. It is found to work well. Why is there no such provision made for the public comfort and safety in this town ? If our authorities have not legally the power to enforce such a rule, they ought to take powers at the earliest possible opportunity. If it is already within the scope of their legitimate functions to see such a measure of street reform effected, we cannot but look upon their neglect of duty as one involving a heavy responsibility. We cannot regard the condition of our thoroughfares during the late storm as anything less than a disgrace to the town. The thing would not be, and is not, tolerated elsewhere. If the thaw which set in here yesterday continues, it is probable that nature will to-day have done her work in cleansing our streets and in removing the immediate cause of danger ; _ . but we hope this, after so recently bitter experience, will not render the public one whit less alive to the propriety and absolute necessity of something being done to Irevent the recurrence of such a great evil. We boast ourselves of our police . - force, and of our san it ar y expenditure, and of our public improvements, —present and prospective, — but why should it have happened that, with all these means and appliances, the whole of our public thoroughfares for above a week have been all but impassable, save at the most imminen peril of the passengers ? Whoever among our public men will take energetic steps to serve the public in this matter will deserve their best thanks as a real benefactor. THE RUSSIANS AT PEKIN. — Lord Elgin expresses his thanks to General Ignalieff for his kindness in allow ing our countrymen to be burried in the Russian ceme tery, and for all the assistance given by the General in the conclusion of the Treaty :—" Your secretary gave, I doubt not, a just expression to the sentiment which dictated this most considerate act, on your excellency's part, when he said to me, after the funeral, 'To-day we look on this cemetery, not as Russian or Greek, but Christian.' " THE SYLPIIIDE ScAwDAL.---Mr. W. J. Grandy, second master of her - Majesty's ship Himalaya, and son of Captain J. S. W. Grandy, E.N., commanding the Mar quis of Downshire's ship Sylphide, recently waited upon our Portsmouth correspondent and handed to him, for his inspection, letters received from Captain Grandy, dated on board the Sylphide, in the Bay of Naples, on the 18th and 19th instant. These letters contained nothing beyond what a gentleman might be expected to write to his family in England while absent in foreign parts. The dates of th e l etters themselves are the best proofs which can be given of the falsehood of the scandal which has obtained such circulation.—Times. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN• CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, 28th Dec., 1860.

THE LATE ATTEMPT AT MURDER AT On Friday, Lot Ivenson Leather, the young nit n charged with attempti ng t o mur d er J ane Mooney, I'l shooting her, on the 13th inst., was again brought befell the Bury magistrates. The girl, who appeared to gito evidence against him, seemed weak and paloy and *l s actommodated with a Seat. 81in said that en the iota inst. the prisbnbi had shown her a sma ll c l asp k n if e , an u told her that had he had it on the previous Sendai evening., he would have drawn it cross her throat. 0 1 the 13th he came to h er frame, when the mill stoppe d at dinner time, kn e lt d own a t t h e en d of her frame, 'T on her removi ng , h e f o ll owe d her through the m ull' She told him that she would not have him, and he replied, " Then no one e l se s h a l l. " He went to he r lodgings at seven o'clock at night, and remained WO about half an hour. After he had left, the witneo, went to a dressmaker' s , an d on h er return she feline him sitting by the fire. A young man named C'Ook+ a turner from Pendleton, Was present, as well as gr a ' Rosebottont and her three children. Witness sat down . the opposite side of th e fi re , an d next to Coa• The prisoner asked her where she had been, and she replied that she had been on her own business, He then asked her to go to hi s mother'ls far PshaWl, Wlfeh saw replied she *oilld haVe &thing to do with him or anf." thing hehlitging to him. He then went behind the chair Which she was sitting, and fired a pistol close to her, left ear, and wounded h er severely. She then caught, hold of Cook, and said " B o b, save me. " Coo k ass i s ted her to the door, from whence she was taken to a neigh' bour's house. At this time the blood was flowing frog her mouth as from a tap. She had been confined toll° bed up to Monday last. The ball came away from he t on the 19th, She had sneered severely from her throat. Evidence was then given as to the purchase o f the pistols at Mr. George Booth's, pawnbroker, and o f the purchase of powder and caps at Mr. Downhenn's, during the interval of the girl's absence from her lodgings. The prisoner, it appears, cooly tried the pistols with the caps ere he purchased the latter.--The prisoner's de fence was reserved, and he was committed for trial at the next Liverpool assizes. THE COST OF THE COLNE STRIKE, - The Coke strike has how lasted 30 weeks, and the prospect of a settlement seems as distant as ever. It i s 26 weeks Knee the weavers of Blackburn,_ through their, association, inquired into the merits of the-disputr l and resolved to support the hands ott strike; and since then the support of the strike has been general throughout the whole district. The following statement, carefully prepared front the *tithed balance sheets, which are issued weekly, will give some idea of the cost Of , the strike during the last six months -----the taai fteeipts front the week • ending July 2 to the week ending Dec. 24 (inclusive) amounted to £16,627 Bs. 4d. The ek penditure in "relief" for the same period was £13,40 1.35. 9d.; while "expenses" (dele g ates, printin g , &e.) reach the sum of £1,686 17 s. sd. The Items or expen diture, when added together, do not amount to the total receipts, but the &Romney is accounted forby the fac t i' that from £3O to £4O h ave every week been trosmittr to Bolton, in support of th e str ik e t h d . e, and th e above expenditure no ateotint is taken of the Bolton strike. To weavers the payments were generally 7s. pe r week, and to tenters 3s. 6d. per week. There were aleg disbursements on account of "assistance to poor families, and " expenses to parties going to work elsewhere." In addition, there were various payments to " victims,. which are generally deducted from the money before It is forwarded t o C o l ne f or di str ib ut i on. An analysis 0 i the " expenses" gives the following results : Advocates Deputies from Printiof Week and Rail- Coln° an d RxpenSes talsa" ending way Fares. Rail*ay Pares. MCCtltive.

Suffice it to say, that the expense of collecting the money and transmitting it to Colne averages from sto 74- per cent of the amount levied. On all money received from Preston and Stockport, it is about 20 per cent. ; from Bamber Bridge, 10 to 15 per cent.; and the " expenses " deducted from the money raised in Colne, exclusive of payments to " victims " and every other item which cannot be classed as "expenses " of manage ment, amount to about 33 per cent. of the total handed over to the strike fund.

No definite conclusion was come to, the masters being divided, seven being in favour and nine against the advance sought. Another meeting will be held this day (Mon day), at Gildemine. One of the largest colliery firms in the district have already issued a notice to their agents, to the effect that they will require an advance in the price of coal, to the extent of sd. per ton, on and after January Ist. The men seek an advance of wages to the extent of 2d. per ton, and the masters to meet it seek 6d. per ton ; and we are told that if the advance of 2d. is given, the extra is needful to enable the masters to cover extra expenditure which will incidentally arise. The Advertiser mentions as a rumour, that the Earl of Derby's health not 'allowing him to fulfil the functions of leader of the Conservative party in the House of Lords, Earl Grey has expressed his willingness to undertake the post. The accounts from Vienna are -significant of the progress of. Austrian bankruptcy. The exchange on Lonon has risen since Thursday from 1421.- to 150. The notification that the dividends on the national loan, which are bound to be paid in. silver, will be arbitrarily met in . paper, at the exchange of 140, has produced a ver y ban effect. A. forced loan of 43,000,0 00 is spoken of. It is also said that the Government can no longer pay silver, even to its own troops in Vono4a. 2
