There was a decided change for the worse in the market for British. railway stocks ; 'Midland, for example, fell fully 1 per cent. There was no alteration in the discount market. There appears to be no lack of money, but much caution is shown in parting with it.— Daily News' City Article. The English funds experienced a decline of per cent., from which there was no recovery, the market closing with a heavy appearance on a report that the Bank of France are still losing gold, and that they are likely to be compelled forthwith to resort to a further advance in their rate of discount. It was stated also that the Bank of 'England have been taking some consi derable amounts of money loans of Stock ;- the for advances,' therefore, was very . firm at from sk-to 6 Ter: cent. In the, discount - market there has been rather a good demand at rates slightly below the Bank. The total amount paid in for railway depoaits to account of the Govern ment is little, short of £ 2 ,000,00, of which rather more than one-third was in cash, the remainder . in exchequer bills and s t oc k. About £50,000 in bar gold was taken from the B an k f or America. In the foreign exchanges there w as n o alteration from the rates of last post.—Times' City Articl e .

Madame Bonaparte, wli4. is now in Paris, was an American lady named Paterson; and the real object of the pre sent suit is to re-establish the perfect legality of her Marriage.

Sir - Francis Baring has addressed a letter to his constituents at Portsmouth on Parliamentary Reform. He fears that the result of introducing a bill next session will not be more successful than in 1860, and if there is no fair prospect of sticcess, he hopes rio attempt will be hiacie, as a repetition of tvhat passed lost year will not be creditable to the legislature, nor beneficial to the 'cause of reform. It is not unreasonable to coli elude. that Sir Franels', tho Ugh not d member of the present Cabinet, here speaks on its behalf. The estimated cost of the construction of the proposed central railway station in Finsbury Circus, London, for the accommodation of the Metropolitan, Eastern Counties, and other rail ways, is £1,200,000. It is proposed that the Eastern Counties, Great N'orthern, Metropolitan, Midland, Great Western, and London, Chatham ) and Dover Railway Companies should be ahtho rised to subscribe teik-ara the Undertaking: A nte* street i t proposed to be made in connection With the station from the south end of Circus place to the east side of Moorgate-street, which will be a great improvement in that district of the metropolis. Captain Moorman, of H.M.S. Cossack, was yesterday honourably acquitted, The court pointed out that Isaiah Sitilth ) the complainant, had shoWn d gross disregard for trtithl . A stim mary of the proceedings dt the trial is given elsewherel Prom experiments recently carried out at the Royal Arsenal practice range and Shoeburyness, it appears probable that the muzzle-loading prin 7 ciple will be adopted to some extent for rifled ordnance, espeCially for heavy guns. Two experi mental guns, manufactured on this principle at Sir William Armstrong's Elswiek factory, and calculated to carry a 1001 b, shot, have been found to answer in every respect equal to the breech loaders and several eminently practical officers of Royal Artillery are decidedly favourable to the use of muzzle-loaders, which are stated to be less complicated, and consequently not so liable to get out of order as breech-loading guns. At the meeting of the Union Bank of London, held yesterday, the chairman (Mr. P. N. Laurie) stated, with reference to the losses that were -Written off by the bank last year, that the direetors .had no further communication to make With reference to any further amounts having been received on account of Pullinger. They were, hoWever, still pursuing the inquiry into the frauds of that individual, and were not with out hope of recovering ffirther sums. The chair man also informed the meeting that the Chancery proceedings instituted by a shareholder, with reference to that affair, had been amicably settled. The report of the business of the bank, read to and approved by the Meeting, *as of 'an extremely favourable description. Railway casualities continue to be recorded.

IVe ate supplied today softie additional contributions towards the solution of the question Whether there will be .peace or war on the Con tinent at the beginning of March. It is satis factory to find that their telidetity Is greatly in favour of peace. Count Cavour is too sensible and cautious to undervalue an opponent. He has ,directed it to be pointed out to the Italians that the Austrian army in Italy, alike in numbers, in strength, and in discipline, is far too formidable to he encountered by any troops which the new Italian Kingdom is in .a condition fnrnish; and , it is stated in various quarters that General Turr, who, it is to be inferred, has at length come to view matters in the same light; has • undertaken, at the request of King Victor, to pay a visit to his chief, at Caprera, and endeavour to induce him, if pos sible, 'to postpone his 'ltalian campaign till a more convenient season. The Pays, an anti- Italian journal, and the Opinion Nationale, whose leanings are ,entirely in favour of Italian unification, both alike agree ,in the conclusion that the acqUisition of Venice cannot at present be hoped for. It is one which the world -at large must be prepared to acCePt, for the sake of peace. It is also a.wise conclusion. :Prince Carignan has issued a proclamation, on his arrival "at Naples, which. seems more pecu liarly intended for the clergy, who are there informed by the new Viceroy that they .and their possessions' will be hereafter respected :by: the. laws so long as the laws are respectedhy.them. INA most interesting case will come before the Tribunal of First Instance at Paris, on the 25th of the present month.

THE NEWS FROM AMERICA. BY the Cunard steamer Jura,. we have advices from New York to the 3rd instant inclusive. President liircatistAN' has at last mustered np the necessary courage to give a categorical refusal to the demands of the South Carolina Committee. He infornis them that he not only intends to continue to collect revenue and execute the law in the State of South Carolina, but also to defend the rights and property of the Federal Government *ith all the force at his eoniniandi It sounds strange to us Europeans to learn that the force which the chief of the American Republic pro poses to employ in the collection of the revenue, is a revenue cutter ! The Communication in which Mr. BUCHANAN conveys his decision to the Coiiimissicthersi is stated to occupy fifteen pages of foolscap, and its contents are said to have produced the utmost consternation among the Commissioners and their friends, who are, however, continuing their war like preparations for the conflict with the North, which their conduct has provoked. Mete is also a report that the secession mania has seized upon North Carolina and Georgia, and that the Government fortifications and arsenals have been seized in these States also. • J ., tin the other hthid; We learn that all the important military posts in the southern States are to be reinforced ; that the militia of the extensive district of Columbia is to be reorganised : and that the New York Legislature which was opened the other day with a message from Governor MORGAN, occuPying no less than seven dloseivinifited eolith:a-is of the Arkti York Herald, and which touches upon almost every conceivable topic of local and universal interest—has offered to Place'a force of 10,000 militia at the service of the President, for crushing the rebellion. The American Cabinet and the people of the Northern States aft tints forced to realise that crisis in the constitution of the Federal Union, which, after innumerable disregarded warnings and forebodings, has at length been developed in the most unmistakable manner, but, whether the nature of American institutions, or the powers with which the executive is invested by the con stitution of the Union, will prove competent to deal successfully . with so alarming an emergency ; seems more than doubtful. According to the Yeiv York Herald, which desires to occupy an intermediate position in the present quarrel so long as it finds any room to stand on, there are only three possible solutions of the difficulty : " First, civil war, whose result it would be impos sible to predict. Second, a peaceable separation of the seceding from the other States. Third, a prompt conciliation, tempered ' with firmness, which will prevent either of the two solutions, and; sate from disruption that great political fabric erected by the sages of 1787—a structure cemented by the patriot blood of a seven years' war, con secrated by the holiest memories, and radiant with the brightest hopes of the human race." The last 'course is evidently the one to which this journal Would give the preference ; but we are much afraid that, notwithstanding the compliments which are here paid to the federal structure as re gards its foundation, its past growth, and its present radiance, the policy of " prompt concilia tion, tempered with firmness" recommended, has become inapplicable. The proper occasion for the exhibition of that policy has not been taken ad vantage of, and, besides, even if it were not so, we are convinced that if such a course were now to be acted upon it would fail 'of success. Th e SOutherners have arrived at that condition of mind which will continue to impel them to prefer a state of discord with their Northern brethren, ,to one of peace, at almost any price. It is fel. this reason, therefore,. that we think that all the good advice which the 'inhabitants of South Carolina receive in the following remarks, we quote from the journal to which we have referred; will be entirely thrown away : .‘ The inquiry naturally arises; does the ultimatuth of Mr. BUCHANAN to South Carolina inaugurate a civil war ? We hope not. The President desires to avoid an appeal to arms. He will seek, as he has sought by all available means of conciliation and forbearance ) to preserve peace. The South iarolina Convention; on the receipt of his ultimatum to their ComniissionerS, may pro= teed to extreme measures. It is probable, however; that the strength of Fort SuMter will StiggeSt the Oliedieri6y of delay in that grimier, rihd that a i'essei of War or trio will be able to look after the federal revenues at Charleston,•withont any warlike collision with the local authoritieS. Under a rigid interpre tation of the constitution, the President might proceed to the arrest, not only of the South Carolinians in occupation of federal property in a warlike attitude ) but to the seizure of those three olinnissioners; oh charges or treason: The Presicierdi hoi'veVer, acting rimier the fraternal considerations of good will bid reconciliation, will oVerlotk e'terytia_g in this iiiistrieEs acelit the overt act of war against the United States. We would therefore kindly admonish our fel low-citizens of South Carolina to the exercise on their part of the saving virtues of reflection and forbearance. They may yet secure all that is necessary for their protection and safety, as a community, whether in or out of the Union, without war. On the other hand, a resort to war would be more disastrous to South Uaro from her eirpOsed SitilAtion; than to any other State of the Union. Tlie tiedple df that State, in common with our Southern brethren generally, have just causes of complaint against the anti-slavery spirit and power of the North. But there is a way of redress, even in the resort to secession, without resorting to war. Let all the Southern States, for instance, meet together in convention . and adopt such amendments to the Federal Constitution as they may think indis pensable to their future security and welfare,. and upon this basis let them form a new Union. Let it at first be lithited to the Southern States, but open to all the other States on the condition of the adoption by each of this new constitution, and we will answer for the best results. " We believe that a Southern movement of this comprehensive character would soon bring the Central States and the Western States into a happy accord with the Southern States. The New England States might hold out, and the best thing that could be done with them would prOloably be to assist them in the experiment of a little Puritanical confederacy all to themselves. Despairing of any relief for the Union from this factious and incompetent Congress, and of any seasonable propositions in behalf of peace and harmony from the President elect—who seems to understand neither his position nor the condition of our public affairs—we present to the Southern States our proposition for a Southern National Convention, a new Constitution, and a reconstruc tion of' the Union upon a new Southern basis. " To this end we appeal to the local authorities and to the people of South Carolina to delay yet a little longer the ruinous alternative of the sword. There is a limit beyond which the Pre sident cannot forbear ;he has indicated it. Let not that limit be hastily passed by those to whom it is addressed, if they Would escape the sweeping disasters of civil war." Has not this limit already been passed ? suspect that Mr. LINCOLN will be of that opinion, and we believe he will act upon it. The Southerners themselves, and Pot the future President, will be responsible for the:consequences, FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. (moat (Alt OWN CORRESPONDENT.) l'Attfs, Jan. 15, 1861. The intelligence from Naples and Palermo is rather more favourable—the changes in the vice regal Government in both instances being in favour of tranquility. The entire policy of Count Cavour appears at this moment to calm the public mind, and to hinder all rash outbursts of zeal in favour of Italian unity, the only effect of which, in present circumstances, mhst be to re tard and to compromise the definitive organisa tion of the Peninsula. The attack against Venetia, announced so long in advance, is the principal subject of his apprehensions, and M. Cavour is at this moment more afraid of the slight est rumour which comes from the little Island of Caprera than from all those which reach him from the whole of the courts of Europe put together. The question still is, what preparations is Gari baldi making, and what will he do ? According to a letter from Turin, in the Cologne Gazette, some endeavours will be made to induce the ex- Dictator to agree to postpone his projects relative to Venetia; and General Tnrr, who has just gone to Caprera, has been entrusted with this delicate task. The same letter adds as a remarkable coincidence, that on the very day on which Gene ral Turr set out f or C a p rera , a grea t many A ng l o - Garibaldians were embarked fo r E ng la n d, b u t, every one knows, that the dissolution of the British Brigade was due to causes altogether unconnected with Garibaldi's future policy. In the National Gazette of Berlin, there is also a letter on the same subject, the writer of which declares that he has been assured by one of the intimate friends of Garibaldi that he has actually renounced his intention of enter ing upon another campaign next spring. At: Turin, the general impression seems now to be that the ex-Dictator's patriotic feelings and prin ciples will predominate over his regard for popu larity; and that in a few days an announcement of his having abandoned his proposed attack on Austria' at least for the present, will appear in the public journals. Such a resolution would be a severe blow to his influence with the Maziini party; but it would nevertheless be rendering ' a most important service to the cause of order. Meantime, Austria continues her preparations for war without intermission, and is constantly send ing reinforcements to Venetia. The city of Naples still maintains the bad repu tation it has acquired for assassinations and disturbances of all hinds. Another sentinel has been stabbed at his post, and an attempt has been made to assassinate M. Scialoja, the minister of finance. The dagger of the assassin was happily turned aside by some portion of the clothing worn by M. Scialoja, who escaped with a slight wound. It is said, however, that a great im provement is about to be introduced into this capital, viz. the better lighting of the streets, which may tend to make them less dangerous to wayfarers. The Mazzinist journal, the Italia del Popolo, has been seized for publishing the pro clamation of Francis 11. This seemed an un neces,sary step, as the document was to be found in all the other Italian journals which arrived in Naples. • With reference to the announcement recently made, that the French Government was about .to issue a medal for the recent operations in. China, it is now stated that the ribbon will be yellow, and that " Pekin" will be engraved upon the medal in Chinese characters. Paris at this moment offers a sight which is rarely numbered among its attractions, and that only for a few days each year. The Bois de Bou logne, during the intense cold which has prevailed of late, is really quite a remarkable scene. On the lake there are myriads of skaters of both sexes and of all ages, and the brilliant clearness and bracing nature of the atmosphere, together with the beauty of the scenery and of the situation, afford both to the skaters and to the spectators of their performances, a degree of enjoyment which even, in Paris has seldom been exceeded. Among the most assiduous and most accomplished of the skaters are to be noticed the Count de Morny and the Countess. In France, some years ago, everybody would have been astonished to the last degree to have seen a statesman skating ; for exercise of this kind was viewed as utterly incom patible with the grave occupations of any man whose shoulders had to sustain any portion of the burden of conducting the affairs .of Govern ment. But, as one of the Paris papers remarks, " Dieu merei, the example of England has entirely altered our views on this subject, and we now readily recognise the perfect right of every statesman, in his moments of leisure, to indulge in healthy exercise like ordi nary mortals." The Emperor and Empress make frequent visits to the lake, sometimes on foot, and at other times en traineau. Several of the ladies skate very nicely; at the same time, there are very few French ladies who do so, which is not surprising, considering that a severe winter seldom lasts long enough in France to afford the fair Parisiennes the same opportunities of acquiring this graceitil art as those which are enjoyed by the ladies in Holland and in Russia, for example, where the canals and 'rivers remain frozen up for several months continuously: AlMo;t all the ladies who distinguish themselves by the stroller grace f grid nimbleness of their movements on the ice, are Rus sian. Among the men, M. Stevens, the celebrated painter of animals, is considered to carry off the palm. As in Russia and in Holland, the leading skaters in the Bois have set to work to get up races of night trains by torch-light, and some of them are announced to come off forthwith► The terriperatnre has beets eitremely variable of late; and the present frost has been remarkable for some a the densest fogi that hale ever been , There are frightful ncbounts of the iniindationts in various parts of France, as well as iii the o L"W Countries, and enormous loss of life and damage has been caused in many instances. There is little or nothing doing at the Bourse. Rente is still very low. THE FRENCH TREATY.

THE LAW OF EXTRADITION. THE FUGITIVE SLAVE CASE. Mr. George Denman writes to the Times pointing out the circumstances under which the British Legislature ratified by Act of Parliament the treaty under Which the surrender of Ander son was elaiified. On the second reading of the bill in the House of Commons, on the 11th of: August, 1843, Sir Frederick Pollock, the Attorney-General of the day, explained the objects of the bill. He was followed by the,late Lord Macaulay, who in the course of his speech made the following remarks. He said : " Take the case of a slave who had committed murder in his own defence. Suppose a man scourged him, pur sued him. The slave had surely the right to resist, and, in his defence, to kill his assailant. By the law of Eng land that would be justifiable homicide. By the law of Georgia it would be murder," &c. The Attorney-General said : " That in all the cases put by the right hon. gentle man no doubt could arise. The bill expressly said the fugitives must be tried by the laws of the country where they were found." Mr. Macaulay asked,--: "Whether he was to understand, then, that an action not criminal in a free man, would, be held not to bo criminal in a slave ?" 1 -7 g !)" 7"',!4 The Attorney General s aid " n "He was of opinion that an English magistrate" would not be at• liberty to enter into the question as to whether the fugitive brought before him was a slave or not. He could only enter into such questions of com mon law (which, of course, means English law), as might arise out of the case ; and if the accused person was not shown to be a criminal, no extradition could take place." Viscount Palmerston— "Did not go so far as some of his friends Its to the effects of this bill, and the explanation of the hone and learned gentleman had gone far to remove the ark/then , sions which he might have entertained. He understood - that in no case where a slave was charged with thd offence of murder or robbery would any English magis trate be justified in delivering him,up for trial, unless the offence he was charged with was one which was looked upon as murder or robbery by the law of Eng land ; and he apprehended that any act that a slave might commit in resisting the coercion of his master could not amount to murder, and would not justify a magistrate in giving up the fugitive." The Attorney-General said nothing to qualify his previous explanations, nor did any other member of the Government dissent. On the contrary, the present Lord Derby, then (if I mistake not) Colonial Secretary, used these words : "No fugitive could, under the treaty, be surrendered as a murderer, unless his offence were such as our laws would qualify with this epithet." I make no comment upon the above extracts from. Hansard, 3d. Series, vol. lxxi., p. 565-579, beyond calling attention to the' fact that the words of the treaty, including its proviso, to the effect -that the evidence of " criminality " must be evidence of that which would constitute an offence in the country where the fugitive is " found," are expressly, and verbatim, recited in the English Act which thus passed its second reading ; and that the Canadian act is a mere substitute for the English Act so carried through the House of Comthons. THE SYLPHIDE SCANDAL AND GOSSIPING CORRESPONDENCE. Under the head of " The Sylphide Scandal" our readers will find a very strong, but scarcely too strong, letter from the Marquis of Downshire, giving the lie to the unscrupulous scandal with which his name has been quite recently associated. As we did not publish, and have no desire to perpetuate, the falsehood, we refrain from alluding to its details. But it is almost incumbent upon us as journalists to repudiate the system under which such mis-statements are possible, and _to protest against the • abuse of privileges' which 'it' involves. The days of the Satirist are happily gone by ; but there is still a marvellous taste for gossip; and a powerful faith in the public, and under its influ ence anonymous writers are assuming a -license which is even, more injurioni to the clumnicter press than , were the eoluttane of the SaioWti_ Th - oee oo.lcl wt "lovet be avoided. When people read the Satirist they knew what they wanted, and what they were sure to find in:: it. But now-a-days the scandal peeps out in respect-,1; able journals, which are acenstomed very likely on many points to assume a higher* tone of mo*7, lity than their contemporaries r and writers vilros would be afraid to breathe their calumnies to any but confidential friends are not ashamed to makeo their columns the channel for communicating thenri to the general public, under- the impbSing signature 'of "your own correspondent." One constantly hears of So and So' being a most eligible . correspondent —a gentle; man who has the entrée of two or three clubs, picks up all the on dits and scandal of the day, • and can indite a bag full of gossip to the provincials. The gossiping raconteur usurps the place of the, political writer, and if he can only flavour his anecdotes rather highly —if he s can give them a lifelike colour, and twaddle as pleasantly to the public as he would by his club fire, he will find no end of listeners. But• harm is done in many ways. In the first place, club gossip, however frivolous or scandalous, does comparatively little harm. Those who retail' it ,know perfectly well they are answerable for all they say. What is more, it as frequently as not remains with themselves. The case is very different if club gossip is made up with highly-spiced condiments for the public taste. In the first place, the whole principle of club life is clearly violated; in the second place, those who are connected with the press must inevitably; sink im public estimation., At the clubs and in society men in their presence will talk as freely ,as they do in, Paris - before the agens de police, or as they did 'at NaPles in the company of the sbirri ; the result will . be that the journalist will be "tabooed" and the profession of jour nalism will suffer in consequence. The Sylphide scandal is perhaps a stronger case than, usual. There never was, perhaps, such a string of blun ders tied together, the gentlemen of the Foreign Office, the Sardinian Ministers, and Heaven only knows how many other unfortunate beings, lugged into it without the slightest reason. The lesson has, however, been rather a hard one, and we hope it will not be thrown away. It is not pleasant to be known as a trafficker in gossip, still less agreeable to be marked as the indiscreet disseminator of unfounded scandal. Perhaps the exposé of the present affair may put a stop to what is really a growing evil, and save the credit of anonymous jour nalism.—fferald.
