Most of the principal British Railway Stocks declined to 1 per cent. Canadas were also lower.

States Go/emitted', - • The i;141/ttgl gazette publishes a tabular statement of the numbers and strengths of the Austrian forces in Venetia, from which it appears that these forces comprise 183,000 infantry, 52 batteries of field artillery, 16,000 engineers; acid . 3,000 eavalit, indepelidintlitr of the garrisons of ti tdrit'eSses, and crews of the men of war. There is also a reserve force. of 35,000 men in the neighbourhood of Trieste and along the coast of IStria and:Dalmatia, whose head-quarters are -- at Trieste... Another corps of 35,000 men, WhOse head:- quarters are at Gran"; are distributed through out Styria:, Illyria, and Carinthia: The above CoMprises a tolerably strong muster roll; and an assailing army will do well to pattse Were pro voking an encounter With alien iioolist In common With tint contemporaries, we an notthcea that the new King of Prussia was to reign under the title of Frederick William V. This, it now appears;WaS - an - errer. - His Majesty will reign us William I.; and it is under that title that he received the oaths of allegianoe of his Minister's'on the 2nd instant. A telegram in our present impression informs its that " political manifestations" are deferred till after the finieral of the late Iking, which WEIS td take place on SundaYi- and alinolinees that important changes in the foreign policy of Prussia-are likely to take place in the course of the month following. There has been a discussion in . the Dresden Chambers on the Schleswig Holstein questidzi, in the course of Which it was ehOited that there was a general -feeling throughout Germany that .the leadership of Prussia in this matter will be sup _ ported on all sides at the Federal Diet, and that all the federal governments are not only ready to act in accord with Prussia; but even if necessary to take the field. Does this refer to the change which is expected to take place in the policy of Prussia ? The Swiss Minister writes from Paris to his compatriots to say, that it ,is the prevailing opinion in official quarters in that city that peace will be maintained; and the Pafrie informs us that the armistice at Gaeta will ; when concluded, be on'a new basis: , The latest information on the subject of the British Garibaldian Legion is supplied by the Naples correspondent of the Herald, who says— " There is at present a court of inquiry sitting for the purpose of reporting upon an accusation brought against Captain Styles, who was sent to England, at the recommendation of Colonel Dunn, in Whose regiment he Was . a lieutenant, for the purpose of raising a volunteer corps—for defalca tions to a very large extent. Captain Styles's name—for I must still call him so—is not Styles but Stiegel. It appears that he entered the Fusi leer Guards under the name of Schmidt at the close of the Crimean war, and that he was not entitled to the medals he wore, Colonel Arbuthnott, his commanding officer, denounces him as a deserter. Styles was arrested, but his guard allowed him to escape. A young man of that name, .who passed himself as his brother j and was appointed as a lieutenant in the regi ment, has also been arrested and confined in the Castel Nuovo. When the court makes its report, I shall send you full particulars!' The foregoing is given entirely ou the responsibility of the writer of the paragraph. It is to be hoped that, as the information is the latest, so it will also be the last intelligence of the same description that we shall be called upon to record regarding this unfortunate body of men. We learn from the Northern Whig, of yester day, that one of the most appalling murders that ever filled the annals of crime in Ireland has just been perpetrated. Two brothers, named James and Robert Shaw, who resided entirely by them selves on a farm in the Barony of Trough, about four miles from the town of Monaghan and two from Glassborough, were found by a person, who had some business to transact with them, on Fri day last, about two o'clock iu the afternoon, lying across the threshold of their own door, shot dead. So close was the weapon the murderer used, that the skulls were completely blown out, and looked as if they had been shattered with a hatchet. The residence of these men is in a most peaceable and populous district. At present it is difficult to arrive at any cause for the perpetration of the horrid crime. A post mortem examination of the bodies was made by Mr. Young, of Monaghan, assisted by Dr. Douglas, of Glassborough. These gentlemen are of opinion that there must have been at least four persons engaged iu'the murder, as there were both bullet and shot wounds. Two men are in custody, and have been remanded until an ad journed meeting of the jury, who were to meet yesterday. A shocking occurrence took place at Astley's Royal Amphitheatre, yesterday morning. At about eight o'clock, three of the lions in the menagerie connected with this establishment broke loose, and made their escape into the,y4d. Before they could be secured, one of j them, it is stated, seized one of the keepers, and frightfully lacerated him about the head—so much so that his life is considered to be in danger. The Shipping Gazette says there is an expec tation of a government loan of £10,000,000 being required, but that there is nothing known upon the subject; which is quite true. No intelligence has been' received at the Admiralty as to the reported loss of gunboats on the coast of China. The number of wrecks reported in December was 186, and the total number for the past year is 1,811. It is a curious fact respecting the various rail way accidents which we have had to record within the last day or two, that not one has been a col lision. In all cases in which the cause is already known the fracture of iron—either of axle or tire, has been the cause, and in all the others, the car riage or carriages have left the line, whether from defects in the pernianent way or rolling. stock remains yet to be ascertained. It will be interesting in a scientific point of view to find out whether or not the extreme cold we have recently experienced may not, by exercising an injurious influence on the metal, have had some share in causing these defects.

THE CHURCH IN DANGER. THE gauntlet thrown down by Mr. DISRAELI on the Church-rate question has been quickly taken up by the avowed enemies of the Church. It has been proclaimed loudly and universally throughout the ranks of Infidels, Dissenters, and Roman Catholics, that next session of Parliament the Church-rate question is to be made a grand rallying point for the whole strength of the dis affected) the schismatic ) and the irreligious. Nor is it pretended that the issue then to be deter mined is to be Confined to the immediate question named: Quite the, contrary. The Radical Press has carefully expounded and illustrated the inten tions and principles of the abolitionists: Nothing will satisfy than short of the eittinction of the National ChUreli, as established iiy 16.*) and the ikithdrawai from her of all State•mainteuance and endowments. "In plain words," says a London contemporary, " the leaders of the anti-; Church-rate agitation, and the great bulk of its supporters', am hostile to the very acid ti) deVeloptherit of the §tate bhiirch:" ThescWordS are not, more plaiii than th 6, are trUe. The fight Will nut be betiveeii Men of different vie*4 to the best mode of dealing with this or that particular species of Church property—that is to say, the contest will not be between those who would maintain the rate intact and in full force, and those who would agree to or accept a compromise: " Last year? sa3,l this haille mithdfity idieady quoted, " the minority *as so unusually large that it was felt to have virtually changed the position of the question, and to haw omt Ppm the abolitionists the necessity either of strenuous exertions 'to recover their lost grountl ) or of submission to a eoraprothisel They adopted the for Mer: alternatikT, committed theMselves to a resumption of the field at the Opening of the neit T'arliameOtait campaign., and Spurned the idea of snrrenderin* a t iot oft ieII tieihantis.; his blear, • therefore, that to talk of any sort of compromise is :entirely beside the question. Sir JOHN TRELAWNY, it is expected, will, early in the ensuing session, re-introduce his : bill for the uneonditiorial abolitiOn of Ohnrch - • rates; and he *ill then doubtless 'receive the un hesitating support even of thOse Dissenters who hai , e hitherto ghc4n afiiilelinatiOii to adopt a less extreme the deihint attitide tio4 assumed by the opponents of Church-rates. Are Churchmen fUlly alive to this fact P •Do any friends of the ChurCh still talk of the expe diency of folioviitig some tiloderate policy such as niight contiliate arid gain (Wei theii opiioiients there be any stich,—afid. we `eat• they are riot d Ebw,--let them remember that the character of the struggle has now been entirely changed. The war is no longer directed merely against a rate, Oragainst the mode Of leVying it, but against the Prineipie ot any nieasnre of State siippett and countenance to religion. Will it not be time enough to talk of re-adjusting, amending, or reforniing what may appear to be susceptible of iniprovenieiit in this or any other part of the external machinery of the church, when the pfin , ciple has been affirmed that the Church's alliance with the State is a blessing to both the civil and ecelesiaStical powers; arid that it is still sustained 'by the hearty approbation and devotion of a 'Vast majority of the people of England. This has been denied. It is for Churchmen to rebut it. Every stratagem is to be had recourse to to force the present Government to adopt the Church-rate Abolition- Bill as a Government measure; with the hope of securing etery atiVeiv• titious, hoWeter unnatural, aid, in the attack Upon the Establishinent, Thus we are told by the orgaiis of the abolitionists that there is now going on a secret but effective process of prepara , tion for the fray. The leaders of the anti- Church-rate party, working through the organi sation of what has been oddly enough designated • as the " Religions Liberation Society;"—" Reli gious Degradation Society" would appear to be a more appropriate title,—cunningly recommend, by way of striking out a new system of tactics, and in contrast to the other side, " no renewed petitioning ) but ti reservation of strength for methods yet to be announced." They tell us, with characteristic plausibility, that as the petitioners of last session in favour of abolition were more than three times the number of petitioners against it, — (the truth being that no effort was then made in that direction by the friends of the Church)—the abolitionist party may now abstain from a further display of mere numerical strength. That is to say, it is feared that the Church—lay and clerical —being now about to be thoroughly aroused to a sense of duty in presenting petitions from every parish, the result of any competitive effort of the same kind on the part of dissenters would prove how thoroughly false is the assertion that the people of England have, to any great extent, become indifferent to their National Church. The malcontents, therefore, wisely propose to shrink from the attempt. They will hereafter, no doubt, appeal eloquently to the preponderating number of signatures formerly attached to petitions got up against the Church-rate at a time when Churchmen scarcely felt called upon to bestir themselves. No doubt it is also confidently hoped that this temporary abnegation of the right to petition on the part of the Radicals and Dissenters, may operate so as to reduce the enthusiasm tf Church men and throw them off their guard. But the hope is vain. The faithful are not now to be seduced into supineness and relaxation of their efforts in getting up numerously signed petitions by any'such transparent trick. Even assuming as a fact that the abolitionist petitioners of 1860 exceeded those from the other side in the propor tion of three to one, we venture to predict that this year the state of the facts will be entirely reversed ; and that there will be found a far more overwhelming majority on the right side. Let every clergyman and every layman in every parish throughout England see to it that every loyal parishioner devoted to our venerable parochial system, signs a petition to Parliament not merely in favour of Church-rates—which in itself is a compa ratively paltry question—but, in the first place, in favour of the continued maintenance of the Church of England as established by law; and, in the second place—but merely, as it were, incidentally—in behalf of the Church-rate as one of. her imme morial and inalienable rights. But there are other means, the employment of which are most essential to success. To impress the House of Commons in favour of abolition, a very knowing attempt is about to be made by our opponents. They seem to contemplate getting up a requisition to Government by Liberal M.P.'s to make the abolition of Church-rates a Minis terial measure. They seem afraid, however, to entrust the matter wholly to Ministerial keep ing. They take their cue, in making this move, from the success which attended their action last year on the religious clauses of the Census Bill. Now, it is clearly the duty of every member of the Church, and especially that of the clergy, to bring to bear every legiti mate influence they can exercise over their representatives in Parliament, be they Liberal or otherwise, in connection with this vital question, affecting as it does the very existence 'of the Established Church. Let every clergyman eon sider it as his bounden duty to state plainly to any member of the House of Commons to whom he has any access the duty he, as an M.P., owes to the Church, in giving his vote uponlany measure involving the momentous interests now at stake. Much, very much, may be done in this way. The clergy never take earnest action in this direction without proving that their influence for good is all but irresistible. Let them see to it. Truly and plainly the question now mooted is not one between Churchism and Dissent—but between Religion and Infidelity. Even upon this low footing we feel that we might safely appeal to what are called mere common sense and worldly men, apart altogether from a sense of religion, as to the importance and advantage of an Estab • lished Church as a bulwark against fanaticism and intolerance. We ask them would not a vie-. tory for the enemies of the Church in all proba bility ultimately result in a triumph for that most insufferable of all despotisms, the power of an uncontrollable and irresponsible priesthood, and let loose upon society all the bitterness, virulence, and unscrupulousness of those clerical candidates for popular favour, who have ever shown them selves regardless df Maintaining a just balance betWeeii faith and reigiiii; collective unity,—indifferent to any revolutionary changes,—and united only in the endeavoUr to pull down and cast out of Universities, pulpits, and all places of influence, whosoever may hap pen tii differ from themselves, or show their deterrninatidii td Stistain the present drthr of tllidgs: The Chin-eh-rate question, in its present aspect, is about to become the great home question of the day. England expects that every Churchman, in this emergency, will do his duty. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. The monthly meeting of the council was held yester day ; W. J.

Father O'Brien, instead of having (as the plaintiff rerh'e: sented) the disposal of the business confided to his cliafge; vial merely a friend, and it further appeared that 8 , 10 of Money ,was ever promised to the plaintiff. Time latter being *Ate to prove his ease. was nonsaited., BLOOMER b. TAnrslitlitTlire plaintiff in this case was a manufacturer, carrying on business in Stafford shire as the maker of a patent anchor, which has " obtained some celebrity. Ms agents in this town are Messrs. Lockhart and Tozer, and they some time ago made arrangements with another firm to supply them ; With some patent chains, anchors, and windlasses. The defendant being a manufacturer of the description of windlass tettrired, was counnurtic'ated with by these gentlemen . the result of the communication was that the defendant entered into a contract to make three patent windlasses for £23, and to deliver the same free on board in a fortnight. This contract was entered into on the Het of July, and a few days before the expira tion of the fortnight Messrs. Lockhart and Tozer sent a letter to the defendant, in which ,they expressed the hope that the work WoVid be done in the time specified. The defendant took no natite whatever of this letter, and on the day when. the windlasses should have been contpleted (the 14th August) the agents dispatched another letter to the defendant, requesting him to get them ready for immediate shipment. About fourteen days elapsed before another commtinication was made with the defendant, and this was much to the same effect as the preceding, asking him if he was yet ready. Upon the 23rd of August the defendant brought the invoice to Mr. Johns, and upon the 31st of the same month he declared that he was ready. Early in the' month of October the defendant was directed to ship the windlasses on board a certain vessel, which, however, he did not do. Two or three other vessels upon which ' the defendant had been severally requested to 'ship the windlasses were neglected in the same !ray, until the plaintiff, exasperated at the continued delay, and the manner in which the defendant had broken his contract, refused to accept the windlasses and demanded back the £23 which had been paid for them. This, however, the defendant refused. The jury, after a short con sultation, found a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. Mr. Aspinall represented the plaintiff, and Mr. Deighton was counsel for the defendant. r • HIGH LIFE Alit , LOW LIFE IN LIVERPOOL. WARD V. PROFIT.—The parties in this somewhat extraordinary case were Miss (or Mrs.) Ward, the plaintif, a young lady who, according to her own statement, was a housemaid ; and Mr. S. Profit, the defendant, who is a wholesale tea denier in Scotland road. According to the dkleration various issues were to be tried, but the facts of the case will be best gathered from the following statements of the learned counsel (Mr. Aston) and the witnesses. In opening the case. he regretted that it had been brought iota court, for whatever they might think of the plaintiff's conduct, they could not but conclude, after hearing the facts of the case, that the defendant's had been far worse. At the time when the transactions in question began, the plaintiff was living with a gentleman named Fish, who, in lieu of wages, gave her the goodwill and fixtures of a shop, No. 38, Chatsworth-street. The defendant, who was acquainted with her, advised her to sell the stock and goodwill, which she did. The defendant received £l7, which the plaintiff gave up to him under a promise of marriage. After leaving the shop, she c onsen t e d t o go to a house in Everton, of which he paid the ren t, an d she lived there as his mistress. Ultimately that house was given up too, and the plaintiff at the defendant's insti gation took a shop in West Derby-road, he promising to supply her with tea and other articles for the first month. The amount of goods he agreed to supply was £3O worth, but the defendant afterwards broke his pro mise, and refused to supply anything without being paid for it. This was one issue under which compensation was claimed by the plaintiff from the defendant. Another was in reference to a silver watch and chain, the property of Miss Ward, the pawn-ticket for which she had given to the defendant as security for a loan of £2. The defendant, however, it appears rescued the lever from the obiivion of the pawnbroker's shop, and wore it himself for a considerable time without the plaintiff's authority.—The plaintiff was the first witness called, and she deposed generally to the facts above stated. At the time she was acquainted with the defendant she believed him to be a single man. She would not have had anything to do with him had she known he was a married man. She gave the shop into the hands of the defendant to manage for her, and afterwards to sell. The person who bought it was named Humphries. He paid her £l, and the rest he paid to the defendant. She did not see how much he gave the defendant. After she left the house in Everton she went as housemaid to a lady named Mrs. Irving. The defendant told her when she was in this situation that if she would take a shop he would furnish it. When she had taken the shop the defendant refused to send any goods, but sent instead an invoice amounting to £3O 2s 6d, on, which he wrote to the effect that the goods would not be delivered until they 'were paid for ior some security obtained. When she saw Mr. Profit wearing the watch, she said to him, " Oh, I see you have got the watch out;" and he said, " Yes." She never owed the defend an t any money . Sh e did no t owe him for the rent of the house in Everton. That house was taken in his name, and he paid the rent him self. Mrs. Humphries was the next witness, and she deposed to seeing the money laid on the table when Mr. Fish's shop was sold. Plaintiff told defendant to take it, as she owed him some money. Mr. Littler, who appeared for the defence, called the defendant, who denied altogether the statement that he ever promised to supply the plaintiff with goods for nothing. Mr. Littler, on behalf of his client, denounced the case as a trumped-up one, and remarked strongly upon the fact that Mrs. Humphries, who was present at the time, heard the plaintiff acknowledge defendant's right to the money. The jury found for the defendant. Mr. Aston applied for leave to move respecting a portion of the money, but this was refused. Thit being the last of the jury cases, the juries were discharged, and the court rose shortly before five o'clock. LIVERPOOL EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY, MOUNT.

The inspectors reported that during the week they had seized and destroyed 906 lbs. of unwhole some meat in the central district of the town, and 428 lbs. in the north district, making a total of 1,334 lbs.

We regret to announce that Mr. Sohn Smith died on Saturday evening, at the age of 68. He was a natile of Bolton, and was long connected with one of our local papers. Instead of dwelling; as the paper in which he had at one time an interesf lnis unnecessarily done, on that portion of his career which is ceiteeted with his public lectures, we have the authority of his immediate relatives for saying that all who are capable of properly appreciating his public life will mere naturally identify him with his political labours in a sphere where his admitted talents and unswerving integrity gave him most Weight in the councils of the party with which he acted: We have fib hesitation in saying that, instead of being, as the paper referred to states, me of the founders of the Guardian Society, be was the fonndet of that valuable institution, of which the proofs, as is well VI Mr. James Reay and others, are easily forth coming. This, however ; we may add, is a small matter when it is considered that there is probably n)institution in the town of a useful, educational, or benevolent kind, to Which the deceased did not lend an early and zealous support: Mr. Smith was twice. married, and leaVes a son and datightet: THE LATE MR. WILLIAM PENNELL- On the 29th ultimo Mr. William, Pennell, formerly Consul-General for the Empire of Brazil, died at East Moulsey, Surrey, in the ninety-sixth year of his age. Few men have lived to be so universally beloved, or have died rgeretted by a larger circle of relatives and friends. He was a man of most happy disposition, and his great pleasure andedelight through life was to promote the happiness and contribute towards the prosperity of others, Of family connections he has left many, and upwards of a hundred immediate descen dants are now living to mourn his loss. Mr. Pennell was consul at Bordeaux at that interesting period of European history when the first Bonaparte made his escape from the Island of Elba in 1815. On this occasion there was in that place upwards of £BO,OOO worth of property belonging to the French Government, which had been captured by the British army, and which was in danger of falling into Bonaparte's hands. This property Mr. Pennell, by good management and at great personal risk, obtained possession of, and paid the amount into the British Treasury the day before General Clansel, with the French army, entered Bordeaux, and to his great disappointment found the treasure gone . For this important service Mr. Pennell never received any salvage, and was only allowed the palty reward implied in a commission of 24 per cent. from the British Govern ment, although at this time no salary was attached to the office of Consul, and the fees were altogether insignificant. His services were highly appreciated by the Royal Family of France, and the Duchess d'Angou leme presented him with a ring, containin g a single diamond of the value of £l,OOO, as a souven i r. Thi s ring he has left as a heir-loom in the family. In 1817 Mr. Pennell was appointed Consul at Bahia, and was promoted to be Consul-General at the Court of Brazil rn 1829, where lie continued to fill th a t office up to the time of its abolition. O n man y occas i ons d ur i ng hi s official career he recei ve d th e warm comm e n d a ti o n o f his superior officers, and more especially the strongest expressions of approbation from those enlightened statesmen Mr. Canning, Lord Aberdeen, and Mr. Gordon. After the war with Brazil and Buenos Ayres a warm dispute arose between England and Brazil respecting British vessels captured by the Brazilian men-of-war, and it was through the judicious suggestions andinter vention of the Consul-General that the making reprisals was averted, and the consequent injuries which would have resulted to our trade were avoided. During his residence in Brazil, through a time of great political excitement, revolution, and danger, he had the good fortune to command the esteem and respect of all parties; and there are those living, both in Portugal and Brazil, who still entertain a grateful recollection of the asylum afforded them under his roof when their lives were jeopardised by the madness of opposing factions. Of his hospitality it may be truly said, it was that of the "fine old English gentleman," without stint, and given with unostentatious liberality. Once a-week he kept open house, or "at home," and these reunions were most numerously attended by the British, French, and other foreign naval officers on the station, as well as by the British and distinguished natives and foreigners resident in the country. Alas ! these are now d ic i s a , a h h a ce s o a f , r r i e o m u i s n a is n c d en u c n e k s n o o f bygone aa o g n en e d cy, ay. th s e I T ini hr a o t u e, gl s i vh s i o cil me w m as y f s o t r e - - latem r I y yearsone o b f e t c h o e m m e most f h e c e t a e l d t hy w t wit hi f e n v e t h r e a t n r d o p which have in a great measure put an end to those agreeable and happy meetings where there was such pleasurable and exalted interchange of sentiment an d information. It is a singular and curious fact that during the long career of Mr. Pennell as a public ser vant, he has not cost the country a single shilling, as the interest of the money saved by him at Bordeaux from the clutches of Bonaparte's general would more than ts d uhap o u ni ts b kof l a e pay h the hteipolnit t mdtoe e b eio wh ei fmnh ol of , ai asn e his nddeaw unprofitable the . y a hopeTh This hswie s n ra v d t es servant. tne sourcet irinrAy Mr. Pennell ofppu l e e dngn great l was of the Canning and lluskisson school of politics.— Liverpool Albion.

The chair was taken at half-past seven o'clock. The lecture was delivered in connection with the Trades' Guardian Association of Liverpool. There was a large attendance of working men, artisans, and others present. CORONER'S INQUESTS.—Yesterday the Coroner held the following inquest :—On the body of Margaret Fair clough, an old woman who lived in Jenkenson-street. It appeared that the poor woman was in great distress, and that she got an order from the relieving officer to take her to the West Derby Workhouse, and the order was at once put into operation, as a man with a vehicle was sent for her. The man found her, as he called it, " crudled" up against the fire, and some of her dress had ignited, but her person was Hot injured. She was removed to the workhouse, where she subsequently died. It appeared that every attention was paid to her, and that death was the result of natural causes. Verdict accordingly.—On the body of William James Hemming, a working jeweller, who kept a small shop in Dawson-street. It appea re d th at t h e deceased was very much given to drink, and that for several weeks past he was not sober. He was found dead in bed, and on a post nzortem examination of the body, made by Surgeon Brown, it was found that death was the result jury found apoplexy, c ause d b y excessive drinking„ and the found accordingly. —On the body of Hugh Doherty, aged 56, a boatman who lived in Smithfield-street.
