We are glad to hear that Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence continues to improve in health, and there is good ground for hoping that he will recover. Lord Canning, the new Governor-General of India, was still in Upper Egypt, at the latest date, and the Feroze, which is to convey his lordship to Bombay, was expected to arrive at Suez early in January. The railway between Cairo and Alexandria is now open to general trafoc, and passengers come down in seven hours, the only break on the line being on the Rosetta branch of the Nile, where the ferry is not yet completed. Lord Panmure, Secretary of State for War, has been suffering for some days past from an attack of gout. The attack is a very severe one, and has affected the right hand. The attack prevented his lordship from attending the Cabinet Council of Friday. Major Blackall, Governor of Dominica, and late M.P. for Longford, has resigned his commission in the Royal Long ford Rifles; also Captain E. M'Evoy, Longford Rifles, on election for Meath county. Colonel White, it is also stated, will appoint his son to the majority of the Longford. The Austrian Consul at Jerusalem has received from his Government a very large sum for the erection within the walls of the town of consular buildings, an hospice, and a palace for the Archbishop of Vienna. The Latin Patriarch is building a palace for himself and a college at Beit Sala, near Bethlehem. We understand that Sir James Alexander Gordon, Governor, Sir John Carroll, Lieutenant-Governor, and Sir Wat kin Pell, one of the Commissioners of Greenwich Hos pital, are about to be removed from the active list of Admirals, on account of their holding permanent civil situations. Sir Augustus Clifford, Usher of the Black Rod, is also to be put on the retired list. A service of plate was presented to Mr. Buckstone on New Year's-day by every person engaged at the Haymarket Theatre. It was the 665th night of the season, the theatre having been only closed on nights prescribed by law since Mr. Buckstone's management. The present was accom panied by a very handsome letter from Mr. Chippendale on the part of the company, which elicited a cordial response from the gratified lessee. The Daily Hews says :—We are informed that the Russian answer contains the Emperor's distinct refusal to surrender any portion of the territory of the empire which he has inherited the duty of defending. It is declared that the successes of the allies do not justify them in demanding this, as they do, in asking a rectifi cation of the frontier. On the one hand the Allies, and on the other Russia, have gained advantages which qualify both sides to make concessions. The Austrian government, we are assured, will not maintain Count Esterhazy at St. Petersburg beyond the term fixed for the acceptance or rejection of the bases of peace, viz:, Friday, the 18th instant. BERLIN, SUNDAY.—The reply to the proposals of which Count Esterhazy was the bearer, addressed from St. Petersburg to Vienna accepts in principle those proposals. The Imperial Cabinet of Russia does not introduce therein any modification of signifi. cance. It refu ses th e terr i torial cession demandd in Bessarabia. It consents to the exchanges of the terri tories respectively occupied by the belligerents. Count Buol has rejected the counter-propositions of the Imperial Cabinet of Russia without discussion. At the same time that he made Prince Gortschakoff aware of a probable speedy rupture of diplomatic relations between the Courts of Russia and of Austria, Count Buol n itified to the Cabinets of Paris and London that Austria would not take the field this year !—Le Hord. The Times in a review of the state of things presented by the Russian reply and counter-propositions terminated its article with the following observations :—We are now in a position to make a peace tolerably satisfactory to ourselves, but most injurious to Austria and Scandi navia. We have the power, and the right, to stipulate that, if we reject this tempting offer we shall be sup ported heartily in the ensuing war by those powers to whose interests a peace so obtained would be fatal. The turn affairs have taken makes us, if we so please it, masters of the position. We must either make war, with Austria and Scandinavia to back us, or make peace without them. Any other method of settling the question would be to forego a manifest advantage. Russia meant, undoubtedly, to sever us from our Allies, but she has given us the opportunity of uniting the alliance more. closely than ever, by using the proposal she has made to us with a view of promoting disunion and discord, as a means of enforcing the most entire unity of action, , under penalties of isolation and dftngcr, the newspaper is c► s, or not n an 30 words; and 2s. for eight line, or 60 'once.

FRAUDS ON THE BANK OF FRANCE. YESTERDAY'S MARKETS, LIVERPOOL CORN.--We had a fair attendance at this morning's market, and the trade opened firmly, but with only a very limited demand for wheat, any improve ment realised during the interval since Friday has been lost, and we quote prices as on that day, or 2d per bushel over the,rates of Tuesday last, with much more difficulty in making progress in sales. Flour may be quoted 6d to is per brl. higher on the week, but we have a languid sale at this amendment, and holders are more disposed to realise; the little Spanish on offer is held at 65s per sack.

Mixed American Indian corn brings 42s 3d to 42s 6d per 4eolbs., and finds buyers to a_ tolerable extent for shipment to east coast of Ireland.

The cashier of the Bank of France, on making up his accounts for the day, on the 30th ult., missed 172 notes of 1000 francs each, which had been brought to him in the course of the day, and which, after counting, he had placed with other piles of notes on a shelf near him. Search was made everywhere, but without result, and information was immediately given to the police. From the inquiries which they made, their suspicions pointed to one of the clerks in the cashier's office, and orders were given that he should be strictly watched. New-Year's day being a holiday at the Bank, the man left Paris in the evening of the 31st ult. to visit his friends in a village in Picardy, and the chief of the service de surete and some active agents followed him there. Early the next morning they learnt that he had gone into the wood on a pretext of shooting, and they went towards the wood. They did not hear any report o f fire-arms, and after a while the man re turned without any game. This naturally increased the suspicions against him. In the evening of the Ist he came back to Paris, the police still accompanying him, and the following days they watched him so closely and with such skill that they saw all he did, and almost heard all he said. At last it was deemed advisable to arrest him, but he'energetically denied his guilt, and on his lodgings being searched nothing calculated to incul pate him could be discovered. The chef de surete accordingly determined on going down to Picardy to examine the wood in which the man had been; but, though he inspected every tree, he could find no marks on any one, and, though he caused the earth to be dug up wherever it appeared to have been recently moved, he discovered nothing. The day before yesterday he determined to try the effect which the sudden revelation that he had been constantly followed, from the very moment of discovering the robbery, would produce on the man; and he began by stating that on the 31st of December he had followed him to the wood in question. The man started, and when the chef de surete proceeded to - relate to him all that he had done on the following days, hour by hour, he seemed astounded. At last he confessed that he was the thief, and he stated that he had buried the notes beneath a particular tree in the wood in question. In consequence the chef again visited the wood, and found the notes at the place mentioned. The clerk is to be brought to trial—ealignani's .Messenger. r.~rd~ POLITICAL RUMOURS.
