PARCELS OF SHERRY WINE Z4t anb' 'Auk& In the Liverpool Oil Seeds and Oil Market the trade was very limited during the past week in consequence of the Christmas holidays prices, however, remained firm. Bombay Linseed may be quoted 'Ms 6d;; Cal: t cutta, 61s; Guterat Ra.peseed, '66s ecl to 68s; Brown Bombay, IXIs. Very little need of any kind was offered, and recent et VaiS were held for tie above prices. In Oils and Cakes thae i was nothing doing except for inrmediateconsnin'p , tion. Linseed Oil was nominally A-crth 3s 3d per ewt, in casks:; Rape Oil Wtti nominally worth 41s 6d to 425; Linseed Cake was worth £lll4O to £l2 for best ; Rape Cake, Liverpo©l Made, could not be bought under £6 les. The transactions for the Week were as follow : Sales reportedabout 550 bags Guzerat Rape seed, at CAsi3d. to 67s per - quarter. Imports this week-140 bags Sicilian Linseed. As soon as the new year commences, it is to be I hoped that business will revive, and that there will be a reaction after the present stagnation in our: trade. • Friday afternoon- Notilikg dohe to-day. Nltts Steidt The somewhat •unlooked. fer 'announcement that peace had been Vinci - tided with 'China, has, to lonse Went, 'checked the animation that would have been felt in the freight tinarket hail the war continued. Until the arrival of the next China mail, we de hot et pect there will be, much busi begs dent in chartering, as both outward and homeward freights will, doubtless, be affecrea by the destination of the large flee of transports at present employed by tte boNernment in the 'Chinese watetv. A contract for delivery of 4,800 toss of teal at King George's Sound has been. taken, but at so low a rate that the contractors only offer 40s freight. In consequence of the , unsettled state of political anti money matters in the United States ) many orders for goods of all descriptions hate been cancelledy - or held in abeyance for the time, so thatit is extremely diffi cult to lead ships for northern ports at any rates of freight. ships for the south are mostly taking a little salt on ship's account, or at nominal rates of freight.

Gabriel's preftetions— unparalleled in Mechanical Dentistry—the remarkable sim plicity of arrangement, together with the wonderful amount 'of comfort enjoyed by the wearer, as moll as the perfectly indestructible nature of the materials employed, which last .1 lifetime, have produced a host of imitations, and the usual .results in such cases. Certain persons, unable to adopt Messrs. Gabriel's Improvements, have Imitated their Adver tisements, and adopted other methods, so as to linsci. the Public to believe they can supply Messrs.

Among the more'lmportant advantages attainable by Messrs.

One set will wear longer than three ordinary enes, they act as supports to loose teeth, require no springs, wires, or metals, while for accuracy of fit, an d i ncrease d aniaitat of sim ian, they stand unrivalled.

In the LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE to-day the Funds were flat. Consols were about 1-16 lower than yesterday, and very little business was going forward. Evidence of increased anxiety with regard to the course of affairs on the Con tinent was afforded by a fresh fall in Lombardo- Venetian Railway Shares. British Railway Stocks were generally steady.

COMMEItCIAL. LIVERPOOL, PP-IDAY EVENING. le Cotton Thadd. The Liverpool Cotton Market throughout the past week received renewed impetus, in conse quence of the present political differences in the United States stopping the ordinary course of trade, together with an increasing falling-off in receipts and shipments, and with large daily sales prices of American descriptions advanced id to id per lb.

In the Liverpool Provision Market, during the past week, the demand for Beef remained in t4Ye same unsatisfactory state; the 'deale'rs b:Ald not be tempted to purchase beyotra ilYet'upply of their present wants, And pt-teeS gave way on almost every sale. Fo Araeritan Pork there was scarcely an enquiry, Irish, French, &c., were preferred, and being abundant, buyers had a selection to cheese from, at moderate prices. Bacon moved slowly, owing to the holiday season ; but a revived demand is looked for in a feW days. Lard receded daily, and the transatti•ons were quite on a retail scale. Cheese was quieter this week, but prices were firm. In butter the transactions were small, and quite of a holiday character. Beef Pork Bacon Hams Lard Cheese. IMPORTS. Tres. Bris. Cwts. Cwts. Tons.

At the Liverpool Corn Market to-day there was less than the average attendance, and only a fair moderate consumptive demand for Wheat, the value of which may be quoted generally 2d per cvntal dearer than on this day week, with a little more improvement on choice white Ameri can, -which became scarce. Flour was Gd per barrel and is per sack dearer, but not active sale. Beans firmly supported. Oats ld per bushel, and Oatmeal 6d per load advance, but in limited request. Mixed and yellow India Corn was held for is to is 3d per quarter more money : the sale was not free ; and white Corn made no improve ment in value. The weather continues severe. —l?or the past ten days a frost of intense sever i ty has unremittingly prevailed, attended by a heavy fall of snow all over the country, through which all out-door agricultural operations have been entirely suspended, and it is supposed that little more than half the surface of land usually planted with Wheat has been sown, thus leaving to the chances of a favourable spring the depen dance of getting a material portion of this crop into the ground. The markets of the country, though somewhat held irregularly in consequence of the Christmas holiday, have been well attended, and Wheat prices have further advanced is to 2s per quarter ; the closing of the inland navigation in Germany giving a stimulus to the demands of millers on the eastern side of England more especially. while the small supplies now being received at the few French outlets, which are still capable of exporting by means of the con tinuance of the low export duty, have caused a rise of value which prohibits transactions on a favourable margin. By the latest American accounts, prices remained in a state of de pression, but on the other hand Freights continued high, and the Exchange remained as low as before reported, with extreme difficulty of negotiation; and the pressure rig iweri, tar's, Rails, Sze Chemicals and Fine Iron salt Dry Goodc Hardware Earthenware Passengers THE DAIL/ TIMES, SATURDAY, D.I),TEAIBER 29, 1860.

II OLD POSTOFFICE-BUILDINGS, LIVERPOOL. NEWS OF Tilt ]SAY. fly the arrival of the Overland Mail we are in posses sion of advices and papers from Calcutta to the 23rd ult., and from Hong-Kong to the 16th ult. There is no special news from Calcutta, and the general ladian news has been anticipated by the last Bombay mail. Mr. Loch, bringing the official despatches from China, arrived at Dever on Thursday afternoon by the Royal Mail packet Alliance. The intelligence that Mr. Loch was on board, though ascertained only a quarter of an hour before the arrival of the packet, rapidly spread itself over the lower part of the town, and on the arrival of the Alliance alongside the Admiralty pier there was a crowd of eager and enthu siastic spectators ready to give to Mr. Loch, so fresh from the scene of the recent exploits in China, a hearty congratulation on his safe arrival once more upon Eng lish soil. On the vessel being brought to her moorings, Mr. J. G. Churchward, of the Dover and Continental Mail Service, proceeded on board, and as an old acquaint ance of Mr. Loch's offered his congratulations. The Mayor and Mr. W. H. Bodkin, the recorder of the borough—the last-named gentleman having fortunately just arrived at the Lord Warden at the time the tele graphic message announcing the departure of the Alli ance with Mr. Loch on board had been received—also offered their congratulations on his safe return. The Mayor (J. Birmingham, Esq.) warmly welcomed him on his safe arrival in England. He assured him the recital of his sufferings had excited the utmost sym pathy and commiseration of his countrymen. He felt, however, that those sufferings had induced the vigorous measures that had resulted in a glorious , peace. He regretted the Corporation, in a body; were deprived of the honour and pleasure of waiting on his landing. Mr. Loch . tendered his best thanks, and expressed his grati tude for -nll the kindness shown him. ' All gracefully welcomed Mr. Loch, who appeared highly gratified with the reception afforded him. Mr. Loch reported that Lord Elgin was expected to leave China early in the year. Two regiments were about to leave, and twelve men-of-war were also coming home. The fate of the entire party of prisoners taken onSep tember 18th had been ascertained. The death of Cap tain Brabazon occurred first, and he was saved much of the sufferings which the others underwent: he was beheaded by order of a Tartar general, whose prisoner he was; after the Tartar had himself received a mortal wound The Abbg de Ind *as beheaded at the same time; The more indifference Lord Elgin displayed talent signing the convention, the more alarmed the Chinese Government became : but a Preat retribution awaited the Emperor and his Government. It was resolUd that the summer palate of the Emperor should be burned to the ground, the spot where some of the cruelties towards the pi solid's had lieeii peilietrated: Proclamations *ere posted in Pekin intertiiina the people Of the measures that were to e tai ti; aild The i•ea'Soils idr The gardens, palates, temples, and Pagotaas aeupeed a spate of six or seven miles in extent. Two days were required effectually to set fire to and destrey all 04Q The property destroyed exceeded £2,000,000 ster ling, exclusive of the buildings. The Chinese were brought to' terms on other points by a proclama tion from Sir Hope Grant; threatening to sack Pekin: On the .day peace was signed Lord tight and Sit Hope drant entered accompanied, by sln escort of 600 men and 10d Officerg of regiments: Lord Elgin was carried in his state chair hy silteeti dhineSe dressed in scarlet. Sir Robert Napier's division lined the streets as Lord Elgin passed, followed at intervals, taking up ;strategical positions in case of treachery. His lordship was received by Prince Kung. Lord Elgin's Manner was stern and ealm; lie motioned Kung to a seat on hi'S right; vbliibh is ethisiderecl the lestest: On the return of the Ambdiatiffer aild COMMander-iii-phief the streets Were occupied bf the troops, ed that the capital of the Chltiese guyiie as in the actual .possession of the British.

The Treaty of Tien thin of teat year, now ratified, is necessarily reproduced at full length ; and, in addition, th e C onven ti on di c t a t e d at the Wall; of Pekiri: The papers also include a very letigthbiled find iiiilst intaiestirig account of his Captivity by Mr. Parkes, which every one has been wishing for since the last mail arrived without it. As there has been some dispute as to the amount of the indemnity now obtained, we may state that it is only 8,000,000 taels— ,nearly £2,900,000. The first official telegram stated that " the indemnity fixed was doubled"—and as Lord Elgin at, Tien-tsin this year, fi±ed the indemnity at 8,000,400 4ed indeuniitY.i ? vaidiiiciPated to arciOunt:to 16,000,000 taels. But the indemnity alltided to as doubled was the indemnity of 4,000,000 taels, fixed by the Treaty of Tien-tsin last year. It would thus appear that as regards the money indemnity Lord Elgin has not demanded more than he demanded immediately after the taking of the Taku forts—excepting the 3,000,000 taels (over £100,000), demanded as solditem for the families of our murdered countrymen. We must say that it seems most extraordinary that Lord Elgin should haire Contented hlitiself with such a comparatively 0)24 sum as 42,b00,006,. considering the Unparialelled perfidy ,Of the Chinese Government; and thb unpre= eedefited Cost of an elpeditieti to China, and we almost incline to the Oil - deli that there Mlist be. dditie mistake; bid Lord Elgin's despatch will serve to softie the The amount also obtained for the benefit of the families of the murdered Englishmen, 4100,000, appears singularly inadequate, considering that, including Capt. Brabazon, four of the victimsvere gentlemen of social position. We quite expect to find that - Lord Elgin accepted this miserable sum for some special reason. The payment does not figure in the articles of the Con tention of Pekin as they are at present known,; and it was Oiivionsly net tite policy Of . our Plenipotentiary to multiply the Conditions . of a peace, at that time certain. Seldom has it been our lot to peruse a narrative so striking as that which the China mail has brought to England. It is the romance of matter of fact—romance hardly credible, some would hay, in the iron -fisted, iron headed nineteenth century; but these are they whose mental eyes are purblind, and who h a t e f orgotten the Indian inUtinY, the' Italian drama, and the Syrian mas sacres. The nineteenth dental Is just as full of romance as any other century since history, With inter mittent pen, undertook the task of chionieling the doings of the human race.- if proof were wanted, here it is in the Story of the Chinese expedition. And what a contrast is there between the accounts of Pekin and those which are given by the eyewitness whose graphic lettet we hate reproduced,—.the wretchedness of the city, the luxury of the Imperial abode: Who shall say that, independently of the vengeance due to us on account of our murdered totintrytiren, it was not a just retribu tion which devoted the palace to the flames ? and, remember, it was in the Chinese "quarter, as distin . guished from the Tartar quarter, that the only signs of vitality were found. So it is all over the empire. The Chinese is industrious, the Tartar lazy ; the Chinese is itigetiotsi the Tattat stttpid ; all that in China can lay olaiin ft citilisatfrni comes from the Chinese. The empire began to' decay froiu the moment when Tartar Prince otetthreW the Ming dynasty, two bun= died years ago. its doom seems now near at hand, and our cont/debt of Pekin may be the proximate eause of its downfall. For yedte the'enipire has been overrun by rebels of all kinds, and the tirdeli now giten to the Imperial fabric cannot fail to encourage 'them. It would seer, therefore, that we may have soon to reViee our Chinese policy: Fen' years we have practically made war only locally in C'h/na, and it may be that the soundest course in future will tie fer give that policy its strictest • development. The efrectwa/ assertion of our power at Pekin will have prepared the way for a r►doption of this course, by impressing on all who hear of it t salutary dread of our enmity. But the further question may well be asked, Who is to put this land to rights ? "Not these hybrid Tai-ping Christians," say the Chinese; "no foreigner nt this time of c . tey at least, if indeed it had at any time Been possible." And yeti if it be not put to rights, the two nations most commercially - 2rlta,rested, England and America, meat be prepared to suffer. Prnm, aetrrnis to have there a missionary interest alone, but unless order be restored this interest must suffer ; for it will not pay the great but unshopkeeping nation to fight for or against this dynasty in a Holy Sepulchre's quarrel. Where France fights, there will assuredly be no trade 3 atrd this is not a country .which yields wealth unless industry be allowed fair elbow room. As to Russia : As good Chinese and true, the Pekinese trust no Barbarian, but of all Barbarians they mis trust Russians the most. Our theories about co-opera tion between Russians and Chinese are said to be utterly bAseless, and that it is by no means in the Russians that we shall find the policy most antagonistic to our own. A London Gazette' Extraordinary, published last night, contains the official despatches, brought by Mr. Loch, confirming the accounts published in another column. Intelligence from Gaeta states that since the bom bardment has been resumed by the Piedmontese, the authorities of the place, being convinced of the danger attendant on the rifled caution used by the besiegers, had considered it pradent to remove the population who occupied the quarter of Costa•Smersa to the southern part of the town. The King passed each night on board the Spanish frigate in the harbour. " It is positively asserted," says the Lombardia, " that Commander Farir,i will be obliged to relinquish the Lieutenancy of Naples, owing to the state of his health. His successor will probably be Count Pouza di San- Martino, who has already been a minister, and is con sidered an excellent administrator." A telegram of yesterday's date announces that Count Cavour contem plates retiring from the ministry, at all events for a time. The general feeling of indignation against the Saxon Government for the arrest of Count Teleki will not be lessened by the knowledge that the Count was remaining in Dresden with' the permission of the police in order to transact some family business, and -was about to return to Geneva the same morning on which the police arrested him. Though uncere moniously searched, no papers of any description were found upon him. The Saxon Government, however, hesitated before sending the count to Vienna, and only did so on the reiterated demand of the Austrian Govern ment. Had the latter Government been wise they would, under present circumstances, have counselled the count's release, unless they wish to gain credit for clemency by an act of pardon to him and his brother exiles. On Wednesday morning the election of a county member to represent the Western Division of Sussex, in place of the Earl of March, elevated to the peerage, took place at Chichester. Major Barttelot being the only candidate, was, with the usual formalities, declared to be duly elected. The gallant major then addressed the assembled freeholders, announcing his determination to support sound Conservative measures, such as were best calculated to further the true interests of the country. A public meeting was held at the Exchange-rooms, Preston, yesterday, to consider the propriety of forming a rifle association for the county. The attendance, though limited, was most influential; eloquent, and effec•- tive speeches were delivered, and resolutions passed. Amongst the resolutions passed was the following:— " That a provisional committee be appointed, to consist of the Earl of Sefton, Marquis of Hartington, Lord Grey De Wilton, Lord Stanley, Hon. A. Egerton, Colonel W. Patten, Lieut.-Colonel Bourne, Lieut.-Colonel Adam Gladstone, Major Blundell, Major Grey, M.P., Captain Brookes, the Mayor of Manchester, the Mayor of Liver pool, and the Mayor of Preston; and that Mr. John PRESENTS FOR CHRISTMAS AND THE NEW YEAR.

His clergy had a great deal to put up with in consequence of his haughty and despotic bearing. He was, however, a Prelate whose conduet in private life was most otediplaky i butj it 18 alnlost needless td add ; dile infra at all illtiithetitane French ecclesiastics. In consequence of the extremely delicate : state of the present relations with' Rome, it becomes somewhat interesting to know what sort of men the Emperor has selected for the episcopal vacan cies, and lidt ate tile gfoitos on which his.ehoice in each case is' justified. I therefore giVe you the following account of them :—The translation of M. Forcade to the See of Nevers is due to the interest which the Emperor takes in those Bishops who exercise their functions in the broiling cli thate of the Vrench toloules ; and the act has no ijOlitig4l vinet, Vicar-Gefiel:dl a Paris, and t'o~merly Vicar- General of M. Affre, hae been specie,* geleae4 in order to perpetuate at Troyes the labours and traditions of M. Coeur, one of the most merito rious men in the French Episcopate. AL Coeur had just before his death been named Tutor to the Prince Imperial, a Prebendary of Saint Denis, and a Senators Apartments had been got ready fir him in Paris ; and on the day of his funeral, the Archbishop of Sens read from his throne the Mandement, in. which the defunct prelate took his fareltell Or his diocese: There is no doiibt he suffered Very mitcharinoYanedfluring the whole fAiida of his +karat froth ttie ;quarrel- some conduct of the thtfaidoiiiaiik It is St mite, However, that M. Ravinet was witli the late Archbishop of Paris when the latter met his death at the barricades in 1848 ; he only went with the archbishop to the entrance of the fauborg in which the barricades were erected, and im mediately afterwards went home—in point of fact s he did not hear that the archbishop had been killed till the day following. The selection of M. Ravinet is in every reSpedt an 'Unexceptionable one, and is extremely well received by the public: He is a man of a very gentle nature, and of mild and conciliatory disposition, and one who will never permit himself to join in or countenance the vio lent line of conduct which the great body of the French clergy is pursuing at the present moment. The choice of the Abbe Christophe, cure of "La ChaPellel' for the bishopric of Soissons is due to the personal preference of the Emperor alone. M. Lebas, a Member of the Institute, and former tutor of Napoleon 111., when on his deathbed charged the Abbe Christophe to trans , mit to the Emperor immediately after that eVent the numerous letters which he had received front him ; and the cure acquitted himself of his trust so much to the satisfaction of his Majesty that he forthwith nominated him an officer of the Legion of Honour; and he now givei him an additional proof of his esteem by conferring upon him this vacant see. As for M. Magnin, the Superior of the Semi nary of Annecy, the Government was anxious to nominate a Savoyard to the first vacant appoint ment that should occur in the French depart ments of Savoy, and the first vacant one being the office of bishop, M. Magnin was at oiled selected accordingly. Should the Pope decline to ratify the fore going selections, it is hard to say what will be the result, for public opinion approves the choice which has been made by the Emperor in every single instance. I may mention that a rumour has been circu lated by some of the more violent of the partisans of Rome, to the effect that a certain ecclesiastic, high in rank, and entirely in the favour and con fidence of the government, has been sent to an archbishop in the centre of France, to sound him as to the feasibility of a project for constituting a National Church, of which this archbishop was to be patriarch. This report had acquired so much ooncifizteney, that tho 000leoinn4io rcrerrca tCI thought it right to write to the archbishop, who replied at once that no overtures of the kind had ever been made to him. The report was subse quently traced to a well-known writer, who has been obliged publicly to disavow it ; and there the matter rests in the meantime. That the story is not altogether destitute of foundation, however, I feel quite convinced. The utmost possible indignation seems every where to be expressed on the subject of the deli vering up of Count Trelek,i a Hungarian noble man, by the Saxon Government to the Government of Vienna. It is, moreover, most positively stated that the illustrious exile, who had been compelled to return for a time to Germany, by purely pri vate reasons, was not in the slightest degree mixed up with any proceedings hostile to the Austrian Government. SUSPECTED MURDER IN DERBYSHIRE.—On Christ, mas Day morning, Samuel White, the horse-keeper to Mr. Greaves, of the Rutland Arms Inn, Bakeweil, Derbyshire, on going to his stable, found a female dead in one of the stalls, six horses being in the place. She could not have been frozen to death there, though the night was severe. Information was given to the police, and a surgeon called in by Superintendent Rust. The body was removed to the union, and the coroner sent for. A strict investigation will take place, as no do/abt remains but that this female has been violated and died from foul usage. Two navvies have been detained at. the Bakewell lock-up, and a clue has been obtained which it is hoped will bring this painful case to light.. Great sensation has been caused in the town through this sad affair, many persons thinking this female has been brutally used and murdered. The inquest before the coroner will unravel the affair, and set the many rumours floating about at rest. THE SPIDER'S INDUSTRY.—A room in a house of one of the principal ecclesiastics in Oporto was set apart for the reception of a quantity of maize, or Indian corn, which had been thrashed out. It is well known that each of these grains of wheat must be at least as heavy as three or four grains of our common wheat. On visiting this room one day its owner perceived a grain of the maize suspended from the ceiling of the room by a single thread thrown out by a spider, and which was, from time to time, gradually but slowly drawn upwards. Surprised at this very unusual sight, he invited several persons to witness it, and amongst others my three in formants. What the motive of the spider was, in endeavouring to secure this heavy grain of wheat, and draw it up to its nest on the ceiling, I will not attempt to account for, as it is so contrary to the usual habits of these interesting insects; but it is a curious fact that a single thread thrown out from the body of a spider should be able to bear the weight it did.—E. Jesse, ig• Once a Week. DESPERATE STRAGGLE WITH A THIEF.—For some time past numerous depredations—some of them of a rather serious character —have been committed in the neighbourhood of Warrington; and on Monday last a. desperate-looking Irishman, named Michael Clancy, was brought before the borough magistrates in that town, charged with stealing a large quantity of potatoes, the property of Mr. Fory, a farmer. As an. officer of the county constabulary was going his usual rounds about midnight he saw a man (who proved to be the prisoner) coming along the road with a bag across his shoulders. The officer secreted himself by the roadside until the man got opposite to him, when he s prang upon him, and a desperate struggle ensued. The prisoner had with him an iron crow-bar, about two an . d a half feet in length—a most formidable weapon --with which he aimed three separate blows at the policeman's head ; but, fortunately, the policeman was able to ward them off with his stick.
