The course of prices has hitherto been kept in check by enormous importa tions from abroad during the last four month of the year in Wheat and Flour, equalling about 4,000,000 qrs. Wheat, of which upwards of one third is from America; nearly the whole has been promptly taken into consumption, And stooks of foreign are not materially larger than 'usual at this season. Our importsfrom abroad for several months will be 'on a much diminished scale, but, on the other hand, the improved condition of the English Wheat, of which only a moderate quantity has yet been brought out, will permit more exten sive supply from our home resources. There is little change reported from foreign markets this week„ but the tendency both in France and America is towards advance. Business in Liver pool since Friday has been quite limited, and the rates of that day have been scarcely maintained for Wheat, Indian Corn, and Flour. We have good arrivals of Wheat and Flour, with some quantity of Beans, Peaso, and Maik.c for the past seven days; the exports arc also to a fair extent. _ ARRIVAES Am) Eil s 6lkl # B Prom the Ist to the -7th January, 1/161, badly :.:.: 4. -. !, n 1 AI et , et , : , c 4 ...

Stocks were then considerably reduced, and on receipt of bad accounts of the Lousiana crops, and the knowledge that the Brazil crop would be late, the market suddenly became very animated, the trade, aided by speculators, buying heavily, and prices rapidly advanced 3s to 4s, more particularly on all brown descriptions, suitable for refining purposes. It has been an unprofitable year to the trade and refiners gene rally ; and several small failures taking place in London, and arrivals coming in from France, and advices of shipments from the States, and a dearer money market, changed the aspect of affairs, and prices declined as rapidly as they had risen. Though the accounts of the coming crops from every producing country are favorable, yet we are inclined to think that the sudden depression has been uncalled for, and that the decline which might have been looked for in the spring, under a heavy import, has been partially anticipated. The consumption of the year has been satisfactory, particularly when we remember the indifferent fruit season. In raw Sugar it is estimated at 412,000 tons against 408,000 in 1859, and 400,000 in 1858; but, including refined and Molasses reduced to Sugar, it is 464,000 tons against 468,000 and 470,000. The total supply for the coming year will be in excess of the last, but there will probably be a deficiency on the continent of 25,000 tons from Beet. The present stocks in the four ports show a deficiency of 20,000 tons, being 76,000 against 96,000 last year. The stocks of Sugar are also moderate on the continent, but large shipments are on the way and in progress in the States. Our present quotations are very similar to those of January last year, and we do not look for any variation of moment for some time. Molasses have been in demand throughout the year, at gradually ad vancing rates, and prices have risen 3s to 5s per cwt. Stocks are light, both here, London, and the Clyde, and prices seem likely to be maintained. Tca Rtarket. (From T. g• H. Littledale g• Co.'s Monthly Circular.) 9, MINCING-LANE, LONDON, Jan. 8. The past year commenced with a very active market, it being supposed that supplies would be short, and also that a reduction in duty might take place, causing an advance by the end of January of fully 2d per lb.; however, when it transpired that no alteration was to be made in the duty, and that extra charges were to be imposed by the Customs, the market became flat, and the large public sales without reserve, which from that date began to be adopted, together with the dis putes between brokers and dealers regarding the charges fur lot money, which is still in abeyance, have contributed to the uniform depression, which, with one or two slight exceptions, has continued to the present time. Common Congou ope ned at is 3d to is 341, advanced durinr, January to is. 5 1a to is sid ' kept firm and until April, when it fell to is 31d to is 4d, and advanced again w in as l n la o y t to is 5d to is 51d ; but this quotati on is aid t is 4d, and maintained in and in July o again fell to the three following months to is 3d and is 30, and has since•- eadually declined to 11 2d, which is the present nominal value. Red leaf and flavory Tcas Advanced early in the year, but from the large quantity forced off by public sales, in February 'and Mardi, &Opted to 24d per lb., advanced again in May to is 6d to Is 61d for fair 'quality, after which it kept falling until the 'quotation is now only is 2d to is 3d. Black leaf likewise rose ld to id in January, but fell again in February ; then advanced until May ; has again receded, and good medium is now only worth from is 4d to is sd. Kaisows kept firmer until September, when a fall of ld to lid took place. The finest chops of the first arrival of the new crop per Falcon, in Septembers realised 2s 3d, but subsequent arrivals bronght • down prices.

Littledale and Co.'s Circular.) In handing our annual report of stocks, im ports, deliveries, and prices of raw silks, we may add the following remarks. At the commence ment of 1860 there were many features in the position of the trade, such as a large consump tion, stocks much lighter than many former years, and high prices, which led to the hope of a prosperous year, both for importers and manu facturers ; but the result has shown that whilst the demand has often exceeded the supply of useful qualities, the advantage derived has been only in favour of importers, whilst our hothe manufacturers have not only had to pay a high price for the raw material but contend with the foreign competition (in consequence of the French tariff) which has diminished the labour of the English trade nearly one-half, and in some places extinguished the manufac turer. The process against foreign competition is now undergoing the test, and it may yet appear there are elements in the Silk trade connected with our national industry and capital which may end in beneficial results. A decided preference is still given to China Silks—prices have not flue ' tuated more than 10 per cent., and for all useful Silks present rates are within is per lb, as at the same period last year, except inferior Taysaams, which are 2s to 3s per lb lower,—imports 74,790 (including 5,360 bales Thrown), deliveries 68,440 —stock 2-1,028. In Bengals there has been a falling off in demand, and a decline of is to 3s per lb—Japan and other silks have interefered with the consumption—the imports are 9,200 bales, deliveries 10,190 and stocks 5,460 bales Italian Silks : A decreased import, in consequence of another failure of the crop, and the high rates which these silks have been held at, has nearly excluded their use in this country. Persian and Brussa Silks : The imports are 2,390 ballots and 150 bales ; deliveries nearly the same as imports. Stocks of Persian are 900 ballots and 80 bales Brussa. But little change in prices during the year. East India and China Silk Piece Goods : We have seldom had to record a year wherein such a general dull dragging trade has been ex perienced. At all the public sales there has been a succession of declining prices, with a decreased delivery, which in Corahs alone is 61,000 pieces, and the present stock is 124,300 pieces—the greater part of which are inferior qualities, which may in some measure account for the diminished consumption. Ban dannoes and Choppahs have been in better de mand, but at prices unremunerating to importers —the stocks arc 11,230 pieces, being greatly in excess of 1859, and every other description of goods have been difficult of sale.—Foreign Gum Waste and Knubbs and Husks : Increased demand for Spun Silk Yarns, and diminished supply of good and fine qualities of the raw material have augmented prices, and left the Waste spinners unremunerated, except those engaged in the long spun trade, who have had a good demand throughout the year at satisfactory rates. The imparts from Turkey, China, and the East Indies have been mostly of low qualities, such as cocoons and chassums, which have supplied the deficiency arising from the non-production of our home throwsters. The arrivals of cocoons from Turkey in 1860 have been larger than the collec, tive import the past thirty years. Moot Atarket. (Front _Messrs. T. and IL Littledale and Co.'s Circular) So regular and uniform has been the course of the Wool trade during the past year, that when she have said there has existed a steady consump tive demand from the opening •to its close ; that prices have scarcely fluctuated to an extent worth naming ; that they are at the commencement of 1861 just about on a parity with what they were at the beginning of 1860, and that the stocks on hand at these dates show little variation, except of English Wools, which in consequence of the unusually light clip, must be considerably smaller —we have epitomised in one brief sentence its chief characteristics. And yet, ordinary as these remarks may appear and as a tem porary result however satisfactory to the Wool trade, the position of the Woollen and Wor sted trades throughout the manufacturing world arc such as to bespeak grave reflections, and ought to command an active sympathy ; they are not extending in the same. ratio' as other branches of industry, and are precluded from doing so for want of adequate supplies of the raw material. The cry of scarcity, which has been sounded fur the last eight or nine years, has produced no practical effect, the small increase of growth having been absorbed without any relief ; in England, economising expedients have been resorted to on an enlarged scale—the use of Cotton in " - Woollen" and " Worsted" fabrics has been vastly augmented ; and the manu facture of Rag Wool (which consists of old worn out Woollens, torn or ground up) has been developed into quite an important branch of busi ness, under the name of Shoddy or Mango, being utilised to the extent of 38,880,000 lbs. annually (equal to about a foruth of our yearly importations of Colonial and Foreign Wools) for t . he purpose nu nd yet wi with, or adulterating .th e n il o r r o i o n l o , u u s l its d i s n , a pricesetue--aofixioligWool, when not checked by advern extraneous nfiuencek, ever Brat itateto an extreme range,,snch fa‘ct, as effeetuallY to hmit the'con gumption..

LONDON, TUESDAY EYANIXD, In the LONDON STOCK EXtITANGE to-day the announcement IA the advance by the Bank of France c otttribtited to precipitate the fall in the Funds, and a fresh reduction of n per cent. took place. There was, however, no sign of panic. All other classes of Securities exhibited a reduc— tion to a greater or less extent. The decline in most of the principal British Railway Shares vas from to about 1 per cont., but buyers coming in a few immediately rallied ) and closed about a per cent. higher than yesterday: Lombardo-Venetian fell nearly 2 per cent., and Grand Trunk of Cannada 1i The market closed at the following prices THE FUNDS.

The following appeared in our later editions of yesterday : The effect of the fresh rise in the Bank rate of dis count was rather severe. Funds opened at a reduction of k per cent., and subsequently fell I, making a total decline of q. British railway stocks were also much prejudiced ; the reduction amounting to 1 to 12 per cent., fear of sales of the stock held on borrowed money contributed to the fall. In the discount market there was an absence of pressure ; the rates in the afternoon were 7to 7,1 per cent. for good bills. At the Bank the demand was moderate.—Daily News City Article. The advance in the Bank rate came unexpectedly, and a few minutes previously to its notification money was obtainable in the discount market at a fraction below the Bank rate then current. The applications for discount at the Badk at the advanced rate were not numerous. Consols opened at a decline of k, and soon experienced a fresh fall of per cent. After regular hours the price was 91;1 to or per cent. below the lowest point touched during the whole of the year 1860. There were no transactions in gold at the Bank. The railway market has been very flat, partly from the increasing dearness of money and partly on the belief that the injury from the American crisis to trade will affect the traffic returns. Midland and Lancashire and Yorkshire have fallen about 1 per cent.—Times City Article.

" They made a graven image, and set it up on high ; - And there it stands unto this day, to witness if I lie." Macaulay. Scene—Williamson-square. Time—Any evening since Christmas. The shadows of night were coming down swift, And the dazzling snow lay drift on drift, As thro' "the Square" a figure did go, Carrying a flag with this motto, Yellow ho O'er a forehead pale came copious hair, His nose retrousse, complexion fair; O'er his tightish eye an auburn lash ; His chin was close shaven, and no moustache. Tellow ho t He 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 tea; He eyed the dishes and plates very keen, To see if his " Yellow" was there to be seen. Yellow ho I " Oh! don't go up," said an old woman, " stop ! It's freezing 'like blazes' up there on t top, You'll tumble off on ?'other side ;" But the spectacled stranger loud replied— " Yellow ho !" Oh! please don't go up such a shocking night; Come sleep on my box, said a cabbie bright; On his pallid cheek a tear-drop come, But still he remarked, as he upward clomb, Yellow ho ! Look out for the branch of that high cross-tree, Dodge falling ice if anv you see. With that "the Party" went home to bed, •And a singlar voice replied overhead, Yellow ho ! At a quarter-past six that same afternoon, An astronomer, taking a look at the moon, Heard spoken above him, as often as twice, The very same words, in a very weak voice, Yellow ho I When " the peeler" came round at a quarter past seven, He was slow in "his beat," the road being uneven, Found the stranger dead in the drifted snow, Still clutching the flag with this motto— Yellow ho ! Yes! lifeless, defunct, without any doubt, The "lamp of his being" decidedly out; On the dreary flagstones " poor Kelly" was lying, And 'twas no more use for him to be sayi n g g— ellow Butter ho I RESURGAM I All ye who lament that poor Kelly is lost, Just call at the " Butter Place !"—look at his ghost !

After the measure adopted by the Bank of England, on Monday, an alteration was fully ex pected to he made in the rate of discount by the Bank of France, but it was scarcely thought, judging by the course followed by the latter on the recent occasion, that it would involve so large a rise as that of 1 per cent. The inference is, therefore, inevitable, and it is beyond doubt a correct one, that there is very considerable pres sure on the other side of the channel. The announcement has, of course, hastened a further fall in consols, and the latest accounts which found their way into the city articles of the Lon don evening papers yesterday, represent a growing feeling of discouragement and uneasiness as prevailing in almost all departments of busi ness. There is once more a struggle for bullion between the three greatest money markets in the world. The necessities of the Bank of France are great, and those of the Bank of the United States are not only greater, but in some instances probably desperate. In fact, so long as the value of money at New York is 12 per cent., and the exchange becoming daily more decidedly against this country ; and so long as America can afford to pay much higher for the use of capital than we can, capital will flow outwards towards her in the form most useful for her to receive, and least convenient for us to part with. People naturally view this active use of the screw by the bank directors under the stringent operation of the Bank Charter Act with consider able alarm, but the English commercial public will gradually be re-assured, as the true cause of the pressure comes to be recognised and ap preciated. The Proclamation addressed by the new King of Prussia to his people, on his accession to the throne of that kingdom, and which we publish elsewhere, deserves to be read and studied with great interest.

Regarding the present position of matters at Gaeta, and the policy of the Emperor of the French with respect to Francis 11. and his defence of that fortress, it is now stated that the French Government has offered to Sardinia to recal Ad miral de Tinan's squadron, provided the Italian army will consent to suspend their fire till the 19th instant. It is supposed likely that the Government of MHO. will assent to these terms, if, as is supposed is the case; the Piedmontese admiral, in the event of the failure of negotia tions, is to be at full liberty at the expiration of that time to pursue the steps necessary - for the reduction of the place, and to support with the utmost vigour the operations of General Cialdini. One French ship only will remain off Gaeta to guarantee the execution of the armistice. It is whispered in Switzerland that Sardinia has offered to guarantee Venetia against Garibaldi on condition of the Great Powers opposing no obstacles to her obtaining possession of and keep ing Gaeta. It is just possible this supposition may be a correct one, but its accuracy is not to be guaranteed. The mercantile community of the United States continue to express great surprise and no small satisfaction that people on this side have hitherto viewed the critical position of affairs in the Union with so much absence Of alarm; for the impression in, America was that every department of general business Wottld be seriously affected. We are in clined to apprehend that the accounts which go out by next mail will tell a very different tale. Among other evidences, how much property in the Southern States especially has already been depreciated in value in consequence of the present attitude of the South towards the North, and of the general feeling of.uneasiness which prevails throughout the United States; may be adduced a statement in orie of the Virginia pap'ets; which in lamenting the decline in the value of slaves, quotes the sale of a skilled mechanic at £l6O, who would at the same time last year readily have brought £3OO, and the New Fork Tinzes considers it safe to estimate " that, if the involuntary labour of the South was worth £240,000,000 twelve months ago, it is now worth less than £160,000,000—a sudden depreciation for which the capital of no country in the world has ever, perhaps, furnished a precedent." To which we would take leave to add, that no country calling itself Christian " has ever, perhaps, furnished a precedent" for the holding of so enormous an amount of capital of that particular description. It appears from a statement of the financial condition of India, which is printed in another column, that the present deficit of income, as compared with expenditure, is not less than £6,273,000, and it is understood that this un pleasant result does not represent the present actual condition of Indian finance. It is peculiarly unfortunate, also, that the measures which have been proposed for meeting the deficiency and restoring the financial equilibrium of our Indian possessions, are not only extremely ill-advised and unpopular in themselves, but are subject to the direction and control of so unfortunate and unpopular a financier as Sir Charles Wood. It is announced that the Delhi and Lucknow prize money is likely to be " shortly distributed." We collect from a statement which we have else where given on this subject, that the cause of the unpardonable and unjustifiable delay which has taken place in the allocation of this recompense, so nobly won by the gallantry of our heroic troops, has arisen in a ,great measure from a difference of opinion among the committee and the Treasury, as to the principle on which the money ought to be distributed. It is far from certain that there will not be considerable dis satisfaction when all is done. A large metropolitan central hotel, similar to the Great Western Railway Hotel, Paddington, the Victoria, Euston station, and the Westminster Palace Hotel, is proposed to be established in the neighbourhood of St. Clement's, in the Strand, and close upon the spot now occupied by Danes-Inn. It will have the effect of clearing away Holywell and Wych-streets, and of widening the Strand at that point, and so render that thoroughfare of one uniform width from Charing-cross to Temple-bar, in conjunction with the metropolitan improve ments. The proposed capital of the enterprise is £600,000. The War Department have entered into a con tract for the erection of a commodious building at Fort Pitt Hospital, Chatham, to be used for the purposes of a museum, in which will be deposited the valuable collection of scientific and other articles and specimens deposited now at Fort Pitt. The site is in close proximity to the lecture theatre, class-rooms, &c. of the young medical officers composing the army medical school re cently established at Chatham. The Directors of the Atlantic Roy 11 Mail Steam Navigation Company have issued circulars stating that the steamship Prince Albert will sail on the 23rd of February, and that their new fleet of steamers will be ready to ply regularly every fourteen days, according to contract, aftbr the 26th of March next. It is painful to learn that the destitution at present existing at Coventry, and the consequent sufferings, are not limited to the working men, properly so called, those who depend solely on labour for the means of subsistence, but has gradually crept upwards from them to a class which may be said to represent capital as well dt a i s ei al :tea machinery t o ae u c r, hspi ne t e : ri tie e o bn N y v s nwoe which of a cr hib ribbon honemy large f pop oesatv n r g o o f proportion of beautifulo which and ch Coventry can boast are produced, the proprietors of looms in private houses as contra-distinguished from factories, as is the case in Nottingham. This is a very melancholy picture, and a very melancholy result of the operation of one of the arrangements of the French Treaty. Lord Leigh appears to be exerting himself with an amount of energy and untiring exertion in raising funds to mitigate the terrible sufferings caused by this want of employment, and which are, of course, greatly aggravated by the inclement severity of the weather, that is in the highest degree to be admired; and let us add, we hope without offence, imitated, by the wealthy members of our own community, who have at their own doors at the present moment an amount of want, destitution, and sickness which has very rarely been exceeded in Liverpool. We have been ex pecting for some days past to learn that a public meeting of the inhabitants would be held for the purpose of devising means for dealing with such a distressing state of matters, and providing funds for its alleviation. Various remedial measures, with a view to affording permanent relief, have been actively discussed at Coventry, but of these none seem to have attained a practical realisation, with the exceptibn of an organisation for aiding the ribbon weavers to " emigrate to the cotton spinning districts of this county. Mr. Brace bridge has joined Lord Leigh in contributing to this object, and about 700 persons have already been conveyed to different places of the county through this agency. Altogether about 2,200 persons have left Coventry for the Lancashire district, of ,whom it is estimated that 1,500 are actually working in the trade, the remainder being principally children under twelve years of age. THE " SACRED HONOUR" OF AMERICAN SLAVE-OWNERS ! THE "sacred honour" of the slave-owners of South Carolina has been once more ostentatiously pledged before the world in support of their free, sovereign, and independent right to load men with chains, to whip them like dogs, and to sell them from one estate-owner to another like any domestic animal, or any beast of burden. Those man-stealers,—those cold-blooded and systematic traffickers in the lives and liberties of human beings, --those men whose ve r y breath seems drawn from an atmosphere in which fiends and evil spirits, who have set divine power at defiance, could alone luxuriate and triumphantly hatch black plots against human happiness, —do not blush to offer an additional insult to heaven and earth by blasphemously appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of their intentions, and to Divine Providence for protection in the pursuit of their unhallowed and accursed practices. Such profanity must have sadly shocked the feelings of every Englishman who has perused the document we published yesterday, called the declaration of causes, which are put forth as justifying the secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union, as reported by the committee appointed to prepare an address to the Southern States. The argument put forth in favour of the seces sion of South Carolina is made to rest mainly on two points, namely—first, on the original separa tion and equal position of that individual State, as one of the nations of the world ; and secondly, the right of the people of such a State to alter and abolish any form of government, and to institute a new One whenever; in their opinion, that system beconaes destructive of their supposed original freedom and indePerideilee in. all thiligs: These two propositions are meant to be illtiStrittea and proved by reference to the fact of separation from the mother country, and to the consequent declaration of independence. That separation and that declaration are with studious care and mani fest purpose represented as the simultaneous acts of so many sovereign States, each acting as it were apart from the others and for itself alone, That these so-called " Sevcreign States," immediately contiguous to each oilibil sliobitl haVe acted, together under one impulse, towards 66 end; and that their labours should have resulted id their complete union under one federal system is either altogether ignored, or meant to be looked upon as a trivial and accidental 'circumstance scarcely worthy of notice. Indeed, it seems difficult to ascertain from this n declaration of causes" for what cause a Union 1%'6,:s effected tit all: We are asked to believethat each State stillreservedtb itself such a high degree of positive independence that we are driven to entertain the idea that federal laws were never meant to be binding upon any body who chose to defy them. Or we are to consider that if any positive benefit was ever anticipated as likely to accrue to any of the " Sovereign States" from this almost mythical "Union," it seem; io htiVb been only that of protection to the Southern Slave=liolding States against the agitations and aggressions of NortlAiii Abolitionists. If there is anything more thad another particularly deserving of our notice in perusing this declaration by South Carolina State, it is the assumption that the "institution" of slavery constituted the one and only indispensable bond of the Union—of that nation which has ad vainly► boasted itself the freest in Creation, Because the aggressing Slave-owing States have been defeated in the election of a President, forsooth, the ihiiii of the general government have ceased to effect the objects of the constitution. Not to recognise the rights of slave-owners even in free States— not to permit them by any means to aggravate and extend the evils of their abominable "do mestic institution," as they call the mortal sin of enslaving their fellow man, is, according to South Carolina, to nullify the constitution and render Congress an unsufferable nuisance. Now, it is mere nonsense to talk of South Carolina as resuming her former sovereign independence. She, along with the other States in our North American colonies, were permitted to cast off our authority over them, and they simultaneously declared themselves justifiable in having done so, and also entitled to form a new government ; , which they did. But it needs small discrimina tion to detect that the act of separation now attempted by South Carolina—just like the former act of separation from Great Britain—is simply and purely an act of rebellion and an attempt at revolution. If there be any material difference between these two • distant events, the latest certainly seems the more inex cusable and reprehensible. What have been the specific criminal acts of the northern free States which are now pleaded by the southern slave States in justification of this open rebellion against their voluntarily con stituted authorities ? The north has carried ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S election ; but then he does not come into power until the Ist of March next. Oh, but we are told, in many of the States, fugi tives "held to service and to labour" have been claimed, but in none of them has the State Government complied with the stipulation on this subject made in the constitution ; but how does the supposed dereliction of individual States governments implicate the federal government of the Union? Whatever may have been the views and course of policy pursued by particular States, the Government at Washington has never yet pronounced and acted against slavery. Even ABRAHAM LINCOLN, the President-elect, is not prepared to deny the rights of the south. More over, there is still a Congressional majority in favour of southern views even in their extremest entirety. In truth it is not even pretended that any overt act has been perpetrated which has necessitated the separation of the slave States ; but it is equally clear that the slave-owners have become convinced that the truth has prevailed against them, and they only anticipate the practical consequences of their moral defect; and, taking time by the forelock, they have resolved, under the protection of Mr. BUCHANAN'S policy, to take immediate steps to strengthen themselves for resistance to the legi timate authority of the approaching regime of Mr. LINcoLN. What will it (nit' in ? Who will undertake to foretell ? One thing, at least, is certain. The present President will do nothing to check the separationists. As to the late act of South Carolina, it is nothing novel. She has done some thing very similar before now, and has, after all, been defeated. Politically, she has little influence. It remains to be seen how many of the Slave States w ill join her. Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Georgia, and Louisiana may one or other, or even all of them, to some extent sympathise with i s n l i a a v a e n s d t T a e te n s n r_ ess n e o e r ,-- y t e h t o s e e v r e e n a e c n a t ro i her. But it does not appear that th e l eg i s l a t ures border al North of Virg lina, are likely to proceed to the utmost extremi ties. Two months have yet to elapse before the point can possibly be brought to a definitive issue as between the Federal Government and such States as may choose to follow the example of wicked South Carolina. This fact is, of itself, significant. So long as the Southern rebellion develops itself only in words and declarations, we shall continue to hope that nothing more ig meant than a last appeal to the fears of the Northern Republicans, grounded on the inevita ble evils of a separation, and in the hope of extracting a temporary compromise. If it has really been determined otherwise, we sce little occasion for regret, beyond the immediate, but only passing, disturbance to peace and prosperous commerce. Indeed, if we might be permitted to set these latter considera tions aside, we could almost wish, in the interest of the poor slaves, that the Southern States might proceed to extremities, and fairly challenge the undoubted might of AB RAHAM LINCOLN and the Free States. The doom of slavery were then certainly and speedily accomplished. In any view we have perfect c onfidence as to the ulti mate result. Man shall no longer be held in servile bondage to his equal. The stain which has hitherto blurred the escutcheon of our trans atlantic kinsmen shall be finally swept away. We hail the latest news as the most hopeful symptoms which have yet been developed in the " the irrepressible conflict." pfogress of what we believe to be really ANOTHER FEAE.FUL SCENE ON THE NORTHUMBER LAND COAST.—On Saturday there was another fearful scene on the Northumberland coast. The fishing village& of Cullercoats, Newbiggin, and .Alnmouth were thrown. into the greatest state of consternati on i n con sequence of a sudden squall of wind having nearly overwhelmed 30 fishing cobbles, from Cullercoats, 20 Newbiggin, and 7 from Alnmouth. The three life-boats of the National Life-boat Institution on those stations were immediately launched, and proceeded off to the scene of danger, in readiness for any contingency that might arise. The appearance of the life-boats amongst the fishing boats apiiored to give the men fresh courage, and fortunately boats, though there were many . hairbreadth ese ' a p esl te -ucceeded in reaching the harbour in safety. •
