Ronald & Son,'in their monthly Wool Circular, dated the 25th instant, say t The business transactions this month in Wool by private contract have been on a inoderate scale only, owing no doubt to the announcement on the Ist instant of our impending Public Sales here, on which occasion the trade would have ample opportunity of supplying their wants. The Sales referred to opened on the 15th instant, and were brought .to a close this (Friday) evening, the total quantity offered amounted to 29,068 bales, and attracted, as usual, a large number of both home and foreign buyers. Messrs. Johu L. ROWCS & Brother's Wool Cir cular, dated the 25th inst., has the following : At the Public Sales of Wool, which commenced here on the 15th instant and concluded to-day, 28,634 bales have been offered and about /2,000 bales sold. There has been a numerous attendance of buyers, and steady but not :Wive competition, the tone however improved as the sales progressed. The chief purchases have been made, as usual, for home consumption, but for France a fair amount has been taken. Orders for the United States are cancelled. Compared with the average or )9ep tealber sales, prices of East India present a decline of Id to id per lb.; this reduction is most noticeable in super Carding white and in common yellow, of the latter the proportion has been excessive and a greater reduction obtained'. For white blanket Wool the demand has equalled the supply, and towards the close the decline on this class was nearly regained. Persian Fa, was scarce, and sold briskly at unpreeedentedly high rates. For other Wools prices in many cases ruled in favour of buyers, but the reduction is , most apparent in faulty parcels. Of well-con ditioned Wools stocks are limited, and arrivals go into consumption as landed, at almost former value. zee Zitulatr ittadtt. From Messrs. Duncan, Ewing, Co.'s Timber Circular, dated the 2.5 th inst., we take the following respecting the trade in Timber for the year ending the Ist Feb, 1861, being considered the close of the season of general importation :--The 'course of the Timber trade for the last two years, as regards the leading articles of supply. from the North American Colonies appears to have been very similar in charatter, commencing each season of general importation with certainly not exces sive stocks, and a moderate. range of prices, and as the respective years advanced, a slight upward tendency became manifest in the latter op to the close, a state of the market which tonld scarcely fail to work profitably for the dealer holding in.Ock. Timber importers generally, on the other hand, would appear to have been less fortunate in their operations, for as a rule when cargoes were realised ex' ship, the proceeds, in most cases, fell considerably short of first cost and freight, the exception being in favour of a portion of the late fall arrivals from Quebec, which, by an ancit pected turn in the market, proved to be . paying speculations to a fortunate few, bat to the majority of importers the transactions of the past two years have not been remunerative. With regard to the prospects for the coming supplies, what the effect may be, as far as Canada is concerned, in consequence of the existing political disturbances in the United States, remains to be seen. The latter have been extensive, and, year by year, increasing customers for Timber supplies through the Upper Provinces, and should any interruption occur in furnishing these supplies in the coming season, a proportionately larger available quantity will bo left, to be placed iri other quarters, Which may have a tendency to make holders on the other side less expecting in their views as to pricesthan they otherwise would have been. The consumption of Titnber and Deals during the past month has been greatly interfered with, in conse tit-wilco of the state of the weather, the traffic on the canals having been completely stopped, and the different railway stations blocked up with goods waiting transit into the interior. • The frost, therefore, may be said to have reduced the consumption about one-twelfth, thereby adding so much to the stock. Messrs. Farnworth & Jardine, in their Timber Circular, dated the 25th instant, have the follow ing,remarks :—The year closes with moderate stooks of all kinds of Wood, high prices, dear money, and a gloomy ,state of political• affairs; ` notwithstanding, the general trade of the country is healthy, and—if matters are amicably settled in the United States—there is every prospect of a fair trade f u the coming year. The trade have this year removed their establishments from the south to the north end of the town,• and appear perfectly satisfied with the change and accom modation—so far as it goes. In the coming season there will be increased facilities, especially for the water carriers, but the experience of the past year proves that though there will be suffi cient storage ground when all the land is prepared, yet there will be a great deficiency of dock and quay space, and another large dock is required to enable the trade to conduct their business in this locality. In the months of July and August last not only were the Canada and Huskisson Docks overcrowiltd, but a large number of cargoes, destined for the north end, were compelled to go south.

The Australasian, which arrived in the: river yesterday afternoon, brings advices from New York down to the 16th instant. A summary of the principal news, which is of a very important character, will be found in another column. The critical situation of affairs in America 'continues to increase in intensity: lYe hate diretted Par : ticillat attention tisbWhere to the great epeeeli of Mr. Seward in the Senate, on the present perilous condition of the affairs of the Union, but the eloquent' Senator has left it an open question whether he is to be regarded as an advocate of the ,pOlicy. of conoiliation. or 'an adviser of the botitte of AcCording to a telegram from Marseilles, We may expect to hear of the' Surrender of Gaeta in d feri days; The co-operation of the fleet has eeii Ve.fjr fire of the united batteries is reported to have been attended with prodigious effect: There is no foreign nays of unusual, importance. oigans of the, (loi - ernitietit to prepare' the country for a .iiontititianed of its present heavy expenditure, and they invite us to be prepared (as if every ono was not already aware of the fact) the Budget proving one of the princi pal absOrbirig ijueStiotis of the newsession of Parlia ment. ihe position tiiiikairs hi the United States, we are alSo told, will necessarily engross Mali of the attention of Parliament should .a civil war ensue, of which there is now every probability. The cotton crop would; of Course, be a failure ; and one of the consequences would be, that hundreds of thoitsancis of hands in the different , thine in this cotitity add in Yorkshire 'Wald tie thrown out of employment, from the dearth of the raw Mate rial; As to Refortn, nobody now believes that any serious attempt will be made to carry any' nteasnre of that kind bnt there will bo plenty ' of work for the GioVernment in the legal and social departments. The United Service Gazette of Saturday says, in allusion to the new War-office Circular as to the rifles of Volunteers to which we referred on that day,—" We are further inforthed that in the cases of corps the men of which have purchased their own rifles, the order is equally imperative, the GovernMent, howeVer, agreeing to pay the cost price of the arms on their being delivered u p." The Circular, although bearing date the 7th instant, and addressed to lord-lieutenants of counties, has only just been 'transmitted to the various corps throughout the Kingdom. The Globe says the address in the. House of Commons, in reply to the speech from the throne, will be seconded by Mr. Charles Paget, M.P. for Nottingham. . . _ A prospectus has been issued of the India Cotton Company, with a .capital of £250,000, in £lO shares. • The proposal is to establish agencies in Guzerat to purchase cotton of the ryots direct, and to use every endeavour to improve the pro cess of picking and cleaning, and promote the introduction of the best machinery. A north country shipowner writes to the Times, and instancing the present extensive `•use of jute as a substitute for Russian tow in conse quence of the Crimean war, infers that even with the loss of the American cotton supply England would never want raw material while she has intelligent merchants and artisans, to select and work such materials as are daily found when really wanted. At a banquet given at Northampton to Lieut.- Colonel Lloyd Lindsay, as captain of the Over stone Mounted Rifle Corps, Lord Overstonespoke at 'considerable length on the defence of the country, and 'expressed the opinion that the evil against which the volunteers had to guard was a permanent and enduring danger; danger arising from the altered condition and .eireumitatieeo;of. the . would in 'general, and the position of this country in particular. Ho also said that peace can be preserved by no other means than by shoiving at all, times that we are adequately and sufficiently prepared for War. MR. SEWARD'S SPEECH. THE important speech of Mr. SEWARD, in the Senate of the United States, to which we briefly alluded in our last publication, is now before us in extenso. During its delivery we are told the Senate presented an intensely interesting scene. Added to his teputation as a speaker, there were two facts whiCh on this occasion increased the interest in what he might say—namely, his acceptance of the Premiership in Mr. LINCOLN's Cabinet ) and the certainty that he would fore shadow the policy of the LINCOLN Administra tion. The speech, which occupied two hours in its delivery, Was undoubtedly worthy of the occasion, and created the most profound sensa tion. Various, and even opposing opinions, have been prdnenneed as to the bearing of the oration. Seth° Peoprle in the States look Upon it as 'a very pFomising• first step towards a compromise ; while Others, consider that " with all its soft and silky professions.. of forbearance, patience, conciliation, and compro_ miser this speeth clones the door of reconciliation, and proclaims coercion as the deliberately chosen policy of the President elect:" • We shall let Mr. 5,E1v.A.16 speak for himself in the following extraets front his long speech, and leave our readers to judge therekiri as to the cotirso he is likely to pinsim, As to his oWii sense of the riedessity of Main taining the Union he leaves no doubt when he says :-- I avow my aelherenbe to the . Union in itg integrity and with all its parts, *ith friends, with thy Batty, with my State, *ith tiff codritrY, of Witliottt either, as they may detertitinc, in every event, whether of peace or war, - With every consequience of honour or dishonour, of life or death. Admitting the danger that now assails the Union, and with reference to certain ideas for Saving it,. he says it It is edsY to tifthidiirtee what measures or con duct will not save the Union. The Union canna be saved by mutual criminations concerning our respective share of responsibility for the•present evils. * * A continuance of the debate en the constitu tional pOwer 'of Congress over the subject of slavery in the.territeries will hot save the Union. * * The - Union cantiot be saved. by Proving that Secession is ille gal or uncOnStittitiondl. * * I do lio ,t agree with those who advise a conventional or tinopfiosed sepa ration with a view to what they call a reconstruction. * * * Congressional compromises are not likely to save the Union. * * I think it will be wise to diseiirdtiio prevalent ideas or prejudices, namely : first, that the Union is to be saved by somebody in particular; and, seedrully, that it is to be saved by some cunning and hisintiere tOmpaet of paoilieation. ihelzidependened o the several States of the Union, and the sovereignty of the rederal Government, is thus reconciled : I fully admit the originality, the sovereignty, and the independence of the several States within their sphere. But I hold the federal government to be equally original,' sovereign, arid independent Within its sphere. And the gov.eirintertt Of the Stdte can no more absolve the people residing Within its liiiiits from allegianee W the Union than the government of the Union can absolfe them from.allegiance to the State. The constitution of the United, States, and the laws made in pursuance thereof, are the supreme law of the land, paramount to all legis lation of the States, whether made under the constitu tion, or by even their organic conventions. The Union can be dissolved, riot by secession, with or without armed force, but Only by the voluntary consent of the fleriple of tli6 United StateS, Colleeted in the manner prescribed by the constitution of the - United Eitates. Nor does he leave auy doubt as to the duty of Congress when he says : Congress, in the present case, ought not to be impas sive. It ought, if it can, to redress any real grievances of the offended States, and then it ought to supply the President with all the means necessary to maintain the - Union in the fttll ethibition and discreet exercise of its authority.. Beyond this, *ith the proper activity on the part of the executive, the responsibility of sating the Union belOngs to the people, and they are abundantly competent to discharge it. Mr. SEWARD then at very great length, and with much point and clearneSs, points out the advan tages of the Union, and the necessarily disastrous conseqtences qtdisseverance. With reference to the probable etteeta df tile dreaded catastrophe upon ,the slave population, :he states most pfo perly, as regards one view of this difficulty : This movement arises out of the relation of African slaves to the domestic population of the country. Free dom is to them, as to all mankind, the chief object of desires • hitherto, under the operation of the Union, they hate practically remained ignorant of the contro vet?,y, esTecidlly of its bearing on themselves. Can we hope that flagrant Cifil fage among ourselves in their very presence, and. yet that they will ternain stupid and idle spectators ? Does history furnish a satis factOiy instruction. upon the horrors of civil war amen; a people so brave, so skilled in arms, so earnest in convic tion, and so intent in purpose, as we are? Is it a mere chimera which suggests an aggravation of those horrors beyond endurance when, on either side, there shall occur the intervention of an uprising ferocious African slave ticiptilation tit thin, dr six, or perhaps twenty millions ? The opinions of nianleind c r lian.'6, and with them the policies of nations. One hundred year's AO all tbo com mercial European States were engaged in transferring negro:slaves from Africa to this hemisphere. To-day all these States are firmly set in hostility to the extension, and even to the practice of slaVery. Opposition to it' takes two forms —one European, which is simple direct abolition, effected, if lied be, by compulsion ; the other American, which seeks to arrest the African slave trade and resist the entry of domestic slavery into Territories where it is yet unknown, whilst it leaves the disposition Of existing slavery to the considerate action of the States 1# Which it is retained. It is the Union that restricls the oppositidn to slaiery in this country within these limits. If dissolution prevail, what guarantee shall there be against the full development here of the fearful and uncompromising hostility to slavery which elsewhere pervades the world, and of which the recut invasion of Virginia was an illustration ? The eloquent senator proceeds to depict in most eloquent teritS the further evils of disunion ; and endeavours to show that the reatness of the country depends upon the maintenatied• of the 1 • Union intact. Ile shows, moreover, with startling perispieneity that, in reality, nothing has occurred, to render disruption una - voidable. Let those who aft; ript td 116 violently discontented with our modified timid:l:chi:cal inistitutions in England mark this RepUblican's words *lien he says flow strange are the times in which we live t The coming spring season on one side of the Atlantic will open on a •general conflict, waged to obtain, through whatever indirection, just such a system as ours; and on ,thil side of the Atlantic, within the same parallels of latititclei it *ill open on fraternal war, waged in a Moment of frenzied &seen telit i to overthrow and anni hilate the same institutions: The distinction between ItepubtferMism and and Union is thus put, the latter being set forth as the doMinant element : lleyoul a doubt, Union is vitally important to the Iteptitilieacitiiens of the United States • but it is just • as impart a iit . The *tiole veopie: Republicanism and Union are, therefore; rid ceutettible terms. Repub licaniSm is subordinate td Urfiotl, as everything else is arid ought to . be—ltepublicanistri, Democracy, every other political name and thing, all are stthotdinate—and they ought to disappear in the presence of the great question of Union. So far as I am concerned, it shall be so; it Slunild 131 so.if the question.were sure to be tried as it: ought only io be determined, by the peaceful ordeal of the ballot. It shall Sc? all the more since there is on one' side preparedness to refer It to the arbitrament of civil War. I have such faith in this Republican system of mfrs . / that there is no political good which I desire that I am riot content to seek through its peaceful forms of adMinistration without invoking revolutionary action. If others shall Intoke that form of action to oppose and overthrow Government, they shall not, so far' as it depends on me, have the excuse that I obsti nately left myself to be misunderstood. Admitting the necessity of some sort of com promise, ho makes the following propositions : Firstly : As regards the abstract question whether, by the constitution of the United States, the bondsman,who is made such by the laws of a State, is still a man or only property, I answer that, within that State, its laws on that subject are supreme; that when he has escaped froth that State into another, the constitution regards him as .a bondsman who may not ; by any law or regula tion of that State, be discharged from his service, but shall be delivered up, on claim, to the party to whom his service is due. While prudence and justice would combine in persuading you to modify the acts of Congress on that subject, so as not to. oblige private persons to assist in their execution, and to protect freemen from being, by abuse of the laws, carried into slavery, I agree that all laws of the States, whether free States or slave States, which relate to this class of persons, or any others recently coming from or resident in other States, and whicklaws contravene the constitution of the United States, or any law of Congress passed in conformity thereto, ought to be repealed. Secondly : Experience in public affairs has confirmed my opinion, that domestic slavery, existing in any State, is wisely left by the constitution of the United States excluslvely to the care, managethent and . disposition of that State; and, if it were in my power, I would not alterthe 'constitution in that respect. If misapprehen sion of my position needs so strong a remedy, I am willing to vote for an amendment of the constitution, declaring that it shall not, by any future amendment, be so altered as to confer on Congress a power to abolish or interfere with slavery in any State. Thirdly : While I thirik•that Congress has exclusive and sovereign authority to legislate on all subjects what eier in.the common territories of the United . States ; lurid while I certainly shalluever, directly or indirectly, give iny,vote to establish or sanction slavery in'such A territories, or any where else in the world, yet the question what constitutional laws shall at any time be pissed in regard to the territories, is, liko every other question, to be determined on practical grounds. I voted for enabling acts in the cases of Oregon, Minne sota, and Kansas, without being able to secure in them such provisions as I would have preferred ; and yet I voted. isely. So now, lam well satisfied that, under existing circumstances, a happy and satisfactory solution of the difficulties in the remaining territories would be obtained by similar laws, providing for their organisa tion, such organisation Were otherwise practica ble. If, therefore, Kansas were admitted as a State under the Wyandot constitution, I think she ought to b?, and if the organic laws of all the other territories could be repealed, I could vote to authorise the organisation and admission ,of two new States which should include them; reserving the right to effect subdivisions of them whenever necessary into several Convenient States, but I do not find that such reservations could be , constitutionally made. Without them the ulterior brilbarfassutents Which would result from the hasty incorporatiOn df Stritb6 of Slicli vast extent and various interests and character would out weigh all the itnmedilie advantage's of suCh a measure. But if the measure were predicable, I should prefer a different course, namely—when the eccentric move ments of secession and digunion shall hive ended in whatever form that end may come, and the angry excitements of the hour shall haire subsided, and calm ness once more shall, lutie resumed its accustomed sway over the publlC mind, then, and ridt till ththi—,One, two, or three years hence—l should che er fully adiiiie a eon verition'of the people, to,be assembledin prirsuae6e of the constitution, to consider and decide whether any and what amendments of the organic . national law ought to be made. A republican now—as I have heretofore been a member of other parties existing in my day—l never theless hold and cherish, as I have always done, the principle that this government exists in it s p resen t f orm only by the consent of the governed, and that it is as necessary as it is wise to resort to the people for revi sions of the ofg,aiiic•la* *hen the troubles and dangers. of the State certainly transcend the powers delegated by it to the pUblie authorities:.. gor dught the suggestion to excite surprise. Governnient in any form is a machine; this is the most Complex one that the mind of man has ever invented, or the hand of man has ever fran:el. Perfect as it is, it ought to be expected that it will, at least as often as . onet in a century, require some modifi- Cations to alept it to the changes of society and alterna tions of empire. Fourthly : I hold myself ready now, as alwqya hore tofore_, to vote for any properly guarded laws which shall be deemed necessary to' prevent mutual invasions of States by cititens. of other States; arid punish those who shall aid and abet them. f IViftblyi Notwithstanding the argnments,of the gal lant Senator from Oregon (General Lanel,'l remain pf the opinion' that physical bonds, such as highways, rail roads, rivers and canals, are vastly more powerful for holding civil communities together, than any mere covenants; though Written on parchment or engraved upon iron. I remain, therefore, constant to my purpose to secure, if possible, the construction of two Pacific railways, one of which shall connect the ports around the mouths of the Mississippi, and the other the towns oil the Missouri and the lakes, with the harbours on Our Western toasts: After counselling t c Uttnast moderation, for bea:rande, and eontiliatiOti f /re ptoebeds with reference to the' present auspices of the' eonntry generally I kneq that we are in the Midst of alarms, and some what es:o°2W to accidents Unavoidable in seasons of tempestuous passiong, We already have disorder, and violence has begun. I know not W what extent it may go: Still my faith in the constitution and in the Union abides, because my faith in the wisdom and virtue of the American people remains unshaken. Coolness, calmness, and resolution, areelements of their character. These have been temporarily displaced, but they are reappear ing. Soon enough, I trust, for safety, it will be seen that sedition grid violence are only local and temporary, and that loyalty 'and affection to, the Union are the natural sentiments of the: Whole coyntry, Whatever dangers there shall be, there will he the determination to meet them; whatever sacrifices, private or public, shall "be needful for the Union, they will be made. I feel sure that the hour has not come for this great nation to fall. This people, which has been studying to become wiser and better as it has grown elder, is not perverse or wicked enough to deserve so dreadful arid setete a punishment as dissolution. This Union has not yet accomplished what good for mankind was manifestly designed by him who appoints the sea sons, and'prescribes the 'duties of States and empires. No, sir, if it were cast down by faction to-day, it would rise again and reappear in all its majestic proportions to morrow. It is the only government that can stand here. Woe, woe to the man that madly lifts his hand against it. It shall continue and endure ; and men, in after tidies, shall declare that this generation, which saved the Union from such sudeen and unlooked-for dangers, sur passed in magnanimity even that one which laid its foundation in the eternal principles of liberty, justice, and humanity. , , The' effect of the speech of l‘f. SEWARD upon all who listened to it, says an eye-witness, was marked. Some of his periods were delivered with the deepest feeling, and produced upon Senators and spectators in the galleries the most intense sympathies with the orator. Old men and young wept like children, and when Mr. StwARD sat down, the galleries, that had preserved the most profound silence during the entire speech, mani fested its approbation by the most hearty applause. We are hopeful that the policy thus sketched nut by thie talented and influential representative of the new Government is indicative of a firm determination to maintain the Union, and at the same time of a willingness to meet the disunionists upon such reasonable terms as cannot, in the end, fail to avert the terrible catastrophe of a civil and serrile war. The Yankees cannot live without political excitement, and if they have at present determined to carry it to an unprecedentedly ex treme point, it is to be honed that no accident will occur, in the meantime, to hinder its sub sidence before matters have gone too far for any, pacific adjiistment. SOUI I H' LANCASHIRE REGISTRATION. The Committee of the Conservative Registration Association for South Lancashire have issued a report from which we extract the following :—" The statement put forth by the Radicals at the close of the court showed a total gain to that party of 2,355 votes, irre spective of the Oldham polling district, which was not included in the return. This result was so much at variance with the actual facts, as understood by your committee, that it was determined not to publish any return until a strict scrutiny had been made by the various local agents. This has necessarily been a work of time ; but the subscribers will not be dissatisfied with the delay when they know that the committee are now able to state, from guaranteed returns received from the various district?, and made out on the strictest principles, that the net gain to the Radical party, so far from being 2,355, is only 479 votes. The following is a copy of the return : SOUTII LANCASIIIRE REVISION, IMO. SSLi•ORD IFUNDRED DISTRICTS. Struck off. New Claims. Gain. Gn. Cons. Rads. Cons. Rads. Cons.

This advantage of the Radicals is, however, wholly attributable to their unceasing efforts to replace upon the register such of their friends possessing good votes as the Conservatives bad removed in 1859 ; and con sidering the immense number which were then struck off, the committee are surprised that the exertions of the Radicals have not been more succ ess f u l t h an now appears. It must also be borne in mind that the Con servative loss of 479 has to be deducted from the Con servative gain of 4,092 in 1859; and therefore, that its effect, in the event of an election will not be appre ciable, and affords no ground for despondency as to the fate of the present representatives for South Lancashire, even in the somewhat improbable event of a contest." We understand that the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster has reinstated the name of Mr. Edmund Thompson, late of Primrose, Clitheroe, bat now of this city, in the commission of the peace for the county.-- 7 Manchester Guardian.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, 'Jan, 26, 1861'. Enrolments in the military service of the Pope are still being actively carried on in France, and even in Paris itself. It is also reported that a number of Frenchmen have expressed their deter mination to throw themselves into Messina : in order to assist in die tidtitintiance of the defence of that fortress, which, as you, ure tittdre; still holds out. The more recent despatches front Sicily speak of numerous executions of insurgents by the Piedmontese, a circumstance which would be a matter of no small regret if it were'the actual soldiers of Francis 11. who were thus dealt with, but as the persons executed are members of the ntinieretiS gatigS of ruffianly bandits ) by whom the island has been long infested; Chid who 'are at open war against all governments; the Govern. rent of Victor Emmanuel cannot .be justly blamed for such severity. It is now all but positive, that an international conference for the discussion of the affairs of Syria; is td assertible on sonic day not later than the 15th of next iS understood that the English and Turkish goVeinM t eni4 Het posed that the meeting should .be held in Ceii: stantinople, but that France insists on its taking place in Paris. According to present appearances, there is not Much chance of Gaeta surrendering previous to the day fixed for the election to the-new Italian Par liament. This result will be no small disappoint ment to the friends of M. Cavour, who have been . fully calculating on the surrender of the place at an earlier date. The confidence of Francis 11. in his ability to hold out some time longer, seems at all events in no ways abatted ; for he has readily accepted the offer of several of the foreign ambasSadors to remain at Gaeta. His young Queen contributes fully as much as himself to the support and encouragement of the morale of the garrison. After the terrific bom bardment of the Bth instant, she visited on horse back all the batteries, thanking the defenders in the roost capti.Vating manner for . their courage and devotions rind afterwards Went to all the hospitals to sec rind eondole With the wounded: On the other hand if is asserted that the edit/2 manders of the troops in garrison nie by do means unanimous in the hope of being able td sqs`tain prolonged resistance ; and, further, that the' tary condition of the place, which was never par'-: titularly good, has been made a great deal worse by the' assembling Of such a large number of . men: (14,000 or 15,000) within so limited a space, few of whom have been out of it for the hot taro 'Months. Of course one must be careful not to assigil Uircitie credence to the rumours referred to on this ject, which have been circulated within the last few days„ but at the same time there can be no doubt that there has been already a great deal of sickness in both armies. If typhus has not already broken out among the garrison, the atmosphere of the place must by this time undoubtedly offer very favourable conditions for its development ; and as to the besiegers, it is impossible to suppose that they have not suffered greatly from the exces sive rains and the incessant fatigues which they have undergone since they first took ground before the fortress. In fact,' according to the latest accounts from Naples; a considerable number of Tiedmontese officers, who have been invalided, -have already arrived in:that city, and they declare that typhus fever has already broken out in the , ranks of the besiegers, and has committed great ravages. It is also rumoured that theSe officers have brought the fever with them,and that it has, broken 'out with great violence in several localities in Naples. A deficit of £4,000,000 is apprehended in the forthcoming Budget to be presented to the Italian Parliament, of which sum £640,000 was incurred in disbanding the army of Southern Italy. According to a report presented by General Acerbi, Commissary-General of that ' army, the total expense of the expeditionary force—which amounted to 35,000 menu-from its departure from Genoa to its arrival at Marsala, until the demis sion.by Garibaldi of his powers, did not exceed ' £BOO,OOO, inclusive of the cost of war steamers and war materiel purchased in foreign countries. It is rumoured that some explanations have been demanded hy the Prince de la Tour' d'Auvergne, in the name of the French Government, of the Cabinet of Berlin, upon the attitude and language of William I. ; and it is said that the Emperor Napoleon, in a long communication which he had with Prince de Metternich, stated that the idea of withdrawing his troops from Rome was farthest from his thoughts. The two events of the day in Paris are, Ist, the reception of, the Abbe Lacordaire, known as the most famous preacher in Paris, as a member of the French Academy, his oration, and the reply to it on behalf of the Academy by M. Guizot ; and, 2nd, the cause la plus celebre of Paterson. V. Bonaparte. The Empress drove up to the • Palace of the Institute about two o'clock, accom ' panied by the Princess Clothilde, the Princess d'Esling, and other ladies of her household. Her I Majesty was handed to the place assigned for her by M. Guizot, and was almost immediately joined by the Duke and Duchess of Hamilton. The Abbe, on entering, took his place between M. Montalembert and M. Beryer ; he wore the white cowl of the order of St. Dominic, with the black cloak. His head was entirely shaven, with the exception of a cordon of white hair. It would be wrong to say that the address of M. Lacordaire was not in the highest degree eloquent and brilliant, but its effect, as well as that of the elaborately studied reply of M. Guizot, was very much marred by the mode of delivery. In. fact, the speeches of both' were written essays or prelections read from manuscripts the .dupti cates of which were long before in the printer's hands, and they consequently fell comparatively flat upon the auditory. The main interest of the' scene lay in the scene itself—that is, in the occa sion and in the audience. There' was M. Guizot, the head of , the . Protestant party in the French nation, and the most respectable living repre sentative of the defunct Orleanist regime, handing the Empress Eugenie to her place, and likewise welcoming to a seat in the Institute, one who was at once the representative of the anti-Protestant element in France, and the most sparkling type of resuscitated Catholicism under the. Empire— Generals Lamoriciere and Changarnier being silent witnesses of the spectacle. As to the case 'of Bonaparte v. Paterson, as it was only begun to day, I must defer my notice of it till my next. At the commencement of business on the Bourse yesterday some animation was exhibited, but it did not maintain itself. The closing trans actions in the Rente were done at 67f. 60c. CHINA. In the Overland Trade Report of Hong Kong we have intelligence from that place up to the loth of December:— The Earl of Elgin is at Shanghai, and has at length promulgated the ratified treaty of Tien-tsin (made June, 1858), the convention lately made at Pekin, and the tariff and regulations of trade. They have not yet beea promulgated here. The Canton Consul has circulated them, but, strange to say, the foreign customs refuse to recognise them, and continue to levy duties upon the old tariff. There is a rumour very prevalent that the garrison is menaced by large hordes of Tartars, and that Mr. Adkins, who was left in charge of the British embassy at Pekin, has been murdered. The rumour emanates from the transport ships which have lately arrived from the North, and although very current, has never been contradicted. The secrecy pursued so persistently in diplomatic affairs here naturally causes unfavourable constructions to be cherished, and unfortunately it has generally happened that the more profoundly a secret has been kept, the more have these unfavourable con structions been corroborated. The rebellion becomes worse and worse. There appears no hope of its being eradicated until it shall have consumed the substance of the districts it has overrun. The following is Lord Elgin's proclamation on the conclusion of the convention : "The Earl of Elgin and Kincardine, K.T., G.C.8., her Britannic Majesty's special ambassador in China, &c., &c., has much satisfaction in informing her Majesty's subjects in China that a convention for the re-establish ment of peace between Great Britain and China was concluded, and the ratifications of the Treaty of Tien tsin of the year 1858 duly exchanged at Pekin on the 24th of October, 1860. The Earl of Elgin now pub lishes for general information the text of the said con vention and treaty, together with the text of the tariff, and rules which form part of the Treaty, and were agreed to by him and the Plenipotentiaries of the Emperor of China at Shanghai, on the Bth of November, 1858. The Earl of Elgin trusts that by a considerate treatment of the natives with whom they may come into contact, a faithful observance of their obligations towards the Ojnese government, her Majesty's subjects in China
