HOLLOWAY'S PILLS FOR THE EFFECTUAL CURE. OF DROPSY. — The efficacy of Holloway's Pills in dropsy is - extraordinary They act with such peculiar effect upon the system, that the fluids arising from this direful disease are • imperceptibly carried off, and prevented from any further accumulation. The sufferer regains a buoyancy of spirits; and rejoices in a completely renovated constitution. These admirable Pills have a similarly happy effect on many other diseases, par ticularly liver complaints and chronic indigestion. They act upon the constitution generally by purifying the blood, regulating the secretions, and giving tone to the stomach and kidneys. They are composed of rare balsams, without tht admixture of a single grain of any noxious substances. They are as safe as they are efficacious. NEW INVENTION.--THE NEW FOUNTAIN PEN.—A greater annoyance than a bad steel pen can hardly be met with—the difficulty is to get a good one. Amongst the recent improve ments the new " fountain pen," just introduced by Rudhall and Co., is the best we have ever seen. By a simple but effec tive contrivance the ink is retained in a fountain, by means of a second inverted barrel, above the writing nib, and this barrel can he taken out at any time, so the pen can be kept perfectly Fle A n w shout any chance of being corroded. Another feature 'ld this pen ia, that one din in the ink will last for five minutes' quick writing. The pen itself is of the finest description, and in merchants' offices, banks, and indeed in every place, it will be tbund to fill a want felt by every one up to this time. We have tried this splendid pen, handed to us by Mr. E. T. Hall, South John-street, and can pronounce it perfect, and we are sure all who use it will give a full verdict in its favour, CONSIIM?TION, COUGH, ASTHMA, AND BRONCHITIS CURABLY,. —" I believe that the preparation of Balsam of Horehound and Aniseed .(as prepared by Mr. Martin, of 22, Copperas hill, Liverpool,' well prove of snore value, in cases of bron chitis and incipient consumption, than any other remedy extant. It relieves the most irritating cough in a few minutes; and,'although it contains no preparation of opium, it induces sound and refreshiny sleep, soothes the nervous system, and restores the healthy action of the lungs." Recommended above all other medicines by Sir Alexander Tralles—see Thomson's Materia Medico, page 175, vol. 2. The following is from Dr. Brett, the eminent chemist :—" I consider the balsam of hore hound and aniseed, as prepared by Mr. Mai tin ' an elegant and efficient cough remedy, and I fully a g ree with sir Alexan der Tralles and Dr. Anthony Todd Thomson, that, in conjunc tion with cod liver oil, it is an admirable remedy for con sumption and delicate constitutions."—R. H. Brett, Ph. Dr., M.R.C.S., late Lecturer on Chemistry and Medical Jurispru dence, Liverpool Royal Infirmary. The balsam of horehound and aniseed is prepared only by T. Martin, chemist, 22, Cop peras-hill, Liverpool ; bat, owing to its great and increasing sale, agents have been appointed in all principal towns and cities.

In the LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE to-day the Funds exhibited no recovery, being quoted at the reduced prices which were current yester day ; but on the whole, however, the market was rather steadier in character.

The funds opened at the reduction of per cent. which took place yesterday, and towards the close a fresh fall of a occurred. In the share markets a dropping ten_ dency was likewise apparent. In every department of the Stock Exchange the tone at the close was dull. The business at the office at the Bank was of the same character as yesterday, and moderate in amount. In the general markets the rates for the best bills continue at 41, to 5 per cent., with a good demand. —Daly News City Article. The railway market was heavy yesterday, particularly towards the end: Several leading British stocks declined 1 to l e , per cent. American and Brazilian securities were flat. The Times says the shares of the Marine Insurance companies were lower, the late improvement not being now altogether supported. Notwithstanding - the addition to the China news tha the indemnity is ready when demanded, the prospect o a further outlay has caused a slight increase of heavi ness in the funds. Consols opened at a decline' of and remained without further change. After regular hours there . were signs of increased dulness in.; MOst, departments of business. The demand fig, discountiat the Bank was again moderate. In theforeign eichanges. there was a good supply of bills, and the rates of ; last post day were well maintained.. £ 55 , 000 in , badkold was sold to the Bank.

You have seen some very sensible men in this country, Albert Edward, and you must remember them; you have seen nearly all of our snobs and lick-spittles, and you will not remember them. Nobody, besides such, expects you will. You have heard that tune " God Save the Queen" a great many times, Renfrew, but you have persistently whistled ' Dixie's Land." You have been very much squeezed, Albert Edward, and it will be good for you. You have been rubbed against, and it will make 3ou bright. A great many stories have been told about you, Mr. Wales, some of which are true and some false. You have worn very good clothes, but not a handsome hat. You have ridden about with some very good horses, and you have received some of our choicest variety of mud turtles to take home. You have ••isiteci about, and you have danced with some of the best dressed old ladies in America. You like to dance, but you don't dance the Lancers very well. Still you are a pretty clever fellow. If you lived in this country you would stand a chance to be ruined, Albert Edward. You would certainly join a fire company, and then you would be sent to the Common Council, and then you might be elected to Congress, and you would lose your self-respect, and you would be done. Reporters have bothered you very much you say, Albert Edward. They have bribed your chamber maids and bought up men of your suite. You have been a godsend in the way of •' items," Albert Edward ; and in behalf of the reporters of Boston I bid you an affectionate farewell. "Ich Dien" is played out on this side, Albert Edward, and you have taken home something of " E Pluribus Unum." One thing to your credit, Albert Edward, you have paid your bills with remarkable promptness, and you have done your tour in good shape. You seem to have any quantity of money, and you put it out freely. Yes, sirree—so freely, that some think you must have dealings with the Butterman. You have been "going it," and now you may go —on these terms : send along Kelly per next steamer.--Boston Herald (improved). THE BUTTER PLACE IS TOP OF WILLIAMSON-SQUARE. HIGH WATER, THIS DAY, AT LIVERPOOL. Hour. Height, MORNING llh. 32m. j 17ft. Sm. EVENING llh. 54m. I l6ft. Eke pail g (inn THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1860. NEWS OF THE DAY. The siege of Gaeta does not seem any nearer its termination. A letter dated from the fortress on the • 4th, which appears in one of the Paris evening journals, gives some details respecting the firing on both sides, the results of which seem to be scarcely yet appreciable. It is stated that the young Princes frequently pass the night in going from one battery to another, and that the resolution of the King to defend the place to the last ex t rem ity was, at the above date, as strong and decided as ever. On the night of Monday, the 2nd, a party of thirty men were despatched from the fortress to set fire to the nearest houses in the suburbs, but the Piedmontese were found to be occupying them in force, and received their visitors with so smart a fire that the latter were forced to return, leaving their mission unaccomplished. It is added that the beseigers hesitate to destroy the buildings with shells, which is an unwarranted act of consideration on the part of a Neapolitan Bourbon, but then it is explained that the houses have been deserted by their owners. • These details are so far confirmed by a letter of the sth, dated from the Piedmontese head quarters. The affairs of the Papal Government continue to pre sent no redeeming features, but rather the reverse. A letter from a correspondent in Rome gives some interesting particulars on the subject, and in one p a ssage, explains the statement in the telegram from Rome, dated the 9th, that His Holiness is much dis satisfied with the conduct of the bishops in Urabi The latter have, it appears, been treating with unusual severity those of the clergy under their jurisdiction who have ventured not to separate themselves from the revolutionary movement. We also learn on the same authority, that the insurrectionary movements in the Abruzzi have their origin in Legitimist intrigues in Rome, and are supported by Spanish gold, a commodity which appears to be much more readily forthcoming at the suggestions of generosity than at the calls of honour and justice. On the subject of the redemption of Venetia, thb Cologne GazMe publishes a letter from a Berlin corres - - ti:drident; *he nlentions., aniCnti; CAhe'r thinks; that the Piedmontese Government has made a private and indi rect offer of a milliard of florins (about five millions steeling) for the fee-simple of the Province, coupling it with an intimation that if the sum he not accepted within a reasonable time, or in case of a doubtful issue to the struggle for the possession of the territory in question, the offer would be very considerably modified. The 'condition or liiingary is represented to be in the higheSt degree serious and alarniing, btit the concessions *hiCh are announced to follow the installation into office of General Schmerling, will probably deprive the inhabitahts of many of their prihicipal grievances. The Emperor Alexander, also, has already made preparations for assisting the Government of the .Emperor Joseph to pat down all really darterods elernents in the move ment. A decree published in the Moniteur, regulates the import duties into France of dry vegetables and their farina, and it is to have effect till the 30th of September, 1861, when the regula tions suspending the sliding scale applicable to the admission of foreign grain also; expires. It is reported that the Emperor, whose policy towards Naples and home has been so tinateountnble of late, is desirods o r f haVing a 'Congiess assembled to consider and determine on the course to he pursued by . the Powe rs with reference, to the state of anarchy which at.present prevails in the tie Twb Sicilies—and which it is generally belie'red his Majesty had no inconsiderable share in bringing about. It will be observed that a special courier, with the Chinese mails and despatches, is hourly expected in Paris. The result of the recent enquiry into the loss of the mail steamer Connaught has been presented in a report to the Board of Trade, signed by Mr. Traill and Mr. Harris. The opinion expressed is that there is nothing to prove that the Connaught wO3 lost through the act or negligence of any parson holding a Board of Trade certificate, it inaY . be thOght tlift a little more intClligeice might have been displayed in the endeavour to detect the probable cause of the leak and devise the most effectual remedy. But it appeared desirable that the loss of a ship apparently so complete should, if possible, be accounted for. The suggestion of one of the witnesses, Mr. Palmer, is that the cause of the fire was the urging of the fires in the after stoke hOle, virli g cn ihe chip had .a strong. list to port. The report contains a number of suggestions respecting the construction and machinery of such vessels as the Con naught. Her length was nine times her breadth. Lastly, it is urged that there should be some public test of the competency of engineers, and some proof that masters and mates have a practical knowledge of the engineers' department. The British Government, through the Consul at Bos ton, U.S., ba.i Piesented Captain Wilson, of the Minnie Schiffer, with a valuable gold chronometer ; Mr. Con nonton, the mate, with a telescope ; and $lO to each of the crew. Also a liberal compensation has been made for the demurrage and subsistence of the crew and pas sengers of the Connaught. The authorities at the Horse Guards, instead of waiting for requisitions from the seat of war, as is usual, at once obtaintd Orders frOm the Secretary of Stale for W . ar for the speedy despatch of every description of stores likely to be required by the troops. The recent statement regarding ammunition for the Armstrong guns and short Enfields is of foundation. The half-yearly meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society was held on Tuesday. Earl Powis, who was in the chair, anticipated a most satisfactory result of the meeting at Leeds, which will take place in the week commencing July 15. The report, which paid a deserved tribute to the late Duke of Richmond, was adopted. A meeting was held at the Hanover-square Rooms, yesterday, to consider the necessary steps to be taken to secure legislative facilities for the improVement of oat falls and arterial drainage in England generally. The chair was taken by the Earl of Romney. Messrs. Gladstone, Cobden, and Gibson—the three leaders of the so-called free-trade party—are to be feted and flattered by the townsmen of Bradford, who are in ecstasies at the improvement in the worsted trade, which the French treaty, it is believed, will effect. A public banquet is to be held, and we shall doubtless have plenty of one-sided statements on the benefits of the treaty. We wonder whether we shall hear anything per contra about the Coventry ribbon weavers. The heavy and continued rains which have fallen for the past ten days in Notts, Derbyshire, and Leicester shire, have caused the rivers Trent and Soar to overflow their banks. Twenty millions of bricks are now wanted in South port. It is a proof of the rising prosperity of the place when £20,000 of bricks are required for the building of 100 more houses. The President of the United States will in his mes sage recommend the call of a constitutional convention of all the states to deliberate upon the condition of the Union, and the means of saving it from destruction. But supposing such a convention should be called, what then ? Abolitionists and disunionists—men of the two extremes—will chiefly compose it. The former would demand the abolition of slavery, out and out, and the latter would simply withdraw, secede,—as at Charleston and Baltimore, and form a project for a new confedera tion. A convention, should it meet at all, will meet for the reconstruction of the government, and reconstruc tion will be destruction. It can mean nothing, and can come to nothing better. But even if the Convention shall adopt and present reasonable and truly Con servative amendments, where are the four-and -twenty States, which will adopt them ? Neither the anti slavery States, nor those States that are bent upon disunion, will sanction them. A Convention win be able to draw a distinct line of separation tween the States. A Convention may even pro vide for a peaceful separation of the slaveholdinl from the non-slaveholding States. There their labour would terminate. The Southern States thus represented, would form one or more confederacies. The Northern States would, at leisure, make some alliances with each other. The Pacific States would form a distinct Confede ration. The North Western States might be kept together in one Union. Pennsylvania and New Jersey and a part of New York—the river counties only—might agree to stand together. New England would be left to herself. However, every member of the Cabinet is in favour of the President's Convention project; and the hope on which it is founded is, that if it may not enable the mitt' and boutli to nve in union, it may enaino 61.1CUL to part in peace. Wise men think that if things go on under present impulses, civil war is close at hand, and that the only alternative, desperate as it is, is a separa tion of the hostile elements by means of a constitutional government. It is a serious thought that this may be —in fact is quite likely to be—the last session of a Congress for the United States. won' MR. BRIGHT'S NEW REFORM AGITATION. THE Elixir of Life, in Mr. JOHN BRIGHT'S esti• mation, is the possession of the political franchise The more extended study of politics among the people, according to the same high authority, will cure all the evils of ignorance and poverty. It will elevate and comfort the humble and oppressed. It will reform and restore the vicious and the unfortunate. Give the poor and needy the right to vote and you may shut up every charitable institution. There will be no more misery and distress to remove. Wages will be doubled, and taxes reduced to nil. Peace: plenty, and pleasure will reign in every cot tage. The Golden Age will be restored, and the Millenium of prophecy be realised by anticipa tion. The working men of England are upon the whole a happy, contented, and loyal race ; but Mr. BRIGHT would teach them, as he endea voured to do at Leeds the other evening, that they are unworthy of the noble designation of " men " because they do not, like him, rail dis contentedly against the upper classes. The leaders of all parties of politicians have com mitted themselves to Parliamentary Reform. Mr. BRIGHT, well skilled in wily arts and defiant style of rhetoric, would turn this fact to party account by loudly proclaiming that at the recent elections at Reading, Newcastle, and Southwark no candidate opposed to Parliamentary Reform had dared to show his face. In the same meaningless, ad captandum fashion, he went on to swagger that "no man could stand upon the hustings in any town of the United Kingdom, with much proba bility of being returned, if he was definitely pledged to oppose Parliamentary Reform." How could there be, seeing that all men are agreed on the necessity of a sou nd measure of reform ? If Mr. BRIGHT meant to imply that the Liberal-Conser vatives were afraid to test the representation of free constituencies, we would remind him of the Conservative victories at Boston, at Dartmouth, and at some four or five other places since the close of last session. At the last-named borough the triumph was most significant as having been gained in a field previously supposed to have been peculiarly favourable to miscalled Liberalism. Mr. BRIG= deplores the exclusion of large numbers of the working classes from the franchise.' I He had recourse to the use of various kinds of sti mulus with the view, if possible, of rousing some measure of enthusiastic indignation in ',his aticlienee; bat beyond an occasional latigh and some faint cheers there seems to have been nn adeciizate reeperise. Tie base and unpatriotic spirit of this arch-demagogue has noWhere b&n made more apparent than in his attempt to draw a parallel between the corrupt and tyrannical governments of the recently dethroned Italian Sovereigns and the Government of this country; followed by his effort to incite the people of Eng' land to rebellious action. " Was it possible," cried this excitement-loving agitator, "that the blindness of Italian dukes; that the Perverseness at Venice, that the obtuseness at ISTaiiles, that all which had passed before us du - ring the last feW years had passed in vain, and that Conservative gentlemen in both ifouseS of Parliament had learnt nothing from it ?" Scarcely less daring and unprincipled was his language in abuse of Parliament. Could anything be more slanderous and untrue than the assertion that the members of that august body had been in the habit Of " hurling miserable arid insulting slanders against the great body of the Working people of Dig' land 9" if the people of,Frigland were not in the enjo3 . -nierit of the cheap PresS; and; thrbrigh it in the possession of full reports of all ParliamentarY proceedings, such a vile falsehood might for a day pass current. But in the face of the well-known tendency of all recent legislation to lighten the burdens and elevate the condition of the working classes, it is something amazing that even Mr. JOHN Britcarr should have the effrontery to repeat his stale calumnies against the legislature. This rodomontade was appropriately followed up by a lengthened piece of cant as to the intelligence and prudence of the working clasB6. - We yiel4 to none in our appreciation of the general good sense and sterling virtues of the great body of the people; but it puzzles us to reconcile with the facts the assertion of any well-doing artisan in any of our large towns, who is really desirous of exercising a share of political influence, being unable to secure a vote under the presently existing system, or, at all events, under that system amended and ex tended as it would have been under Lord DERBY'S Bill, as it was presented to the House, or as it must have stood, had it been permitted to go into coniiiiitteo. Mr, Bractilea great 'leltation is the absence of all discontent among the ecircle with things as they are. He is especially annoyed by the fact that all his juggling efforts to com municate his own rabid disease to the multitude are utterly unavailing. If Leeds, Manchester, and Birmingham would only speak out and back Mr. BRIGHT! Aye; there'A the rill): But they In enumerating the great centres Of population Liverpool is never mentioned by Mr. BRIGHT. He either looks upon this town, — second in importance only to London itself,—as either unworthy of his notice, or by far too thoroughly awake to his clap-trap nonsense to be in the least likely to encourage, far less to offer a cordial response to his seditious appeals. The latter we believe to be the real state of the case. He has not yet forgot the miserable failure of the banqiiet got tip for him in the Philharmonic, nor the complete abortiveness of the Radical clique here to organise a " constitutional committee," to back him against the House of Lords. The country needs no exhortations of Mr. BRIGHT'S to convince it of the propriety of Par liamentary Reform. The greatest service he could do the cause would be to hold his tongue, and never allude to the subject. His injudicious advocacy of extreme and revolutionary changes has done as much as anything else to retard the progress of true Reform, and postpone the settle ment of the question, upon a fair and equitable basis. His object is not to bring about Reform by honest, enlightened, and safe steps, such as the sound-hearted and sincere friends of the working classes recommend, but to produce a morbid and unnatural degree of political excite' ment such as might tend to precipitate changes and feelings calculated to shake our political and social fabric to its base. Under the name of Reform he seeks to produce disorder and confu sion. Fortunately he has small chance of success. His fallacies have been so repeatedly exposed and rejected, and his weakness become so generally understood and despised, that his wild efforts to resuscitate a political agitation for impracticable measures of so-called Reform, must for ever fail to disturb the serenity of a people profoundly con scious of their unparalleled freedom, nationally and individually. ,e- FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, 12th Dec., 1860. The Moniteur remains silent on the affairs of China, and. contents itself with reproducing the official telegram published in the English journals , It is concluded from this, that the Empereres Government is hourly expecting the arrival of it special courier from Pekin with the mails and despatches, and is unwilling to deprive the im portant intelligence which they oeui..'"" ' lie startling events ..appened i"n that ...Ay portion of their absorbing interest. Things seem to be in a complete state of anarchy in Pekin, and this may explain not only the restoration of Messrs. Parkes, Loch, and Eschayarac, but also the state of ignorance which unfortunately continues to prevail as to the fate of Captain Brabazon and the Times' correspondent. The siege of Gaeta progresses but slowly, and without any remarkable incidents. The French squadron still prohibits any attack on the fortress from the sea, and Admiral de Tinan has been reinforced by two additional line-of-battle ships ; but it is right to add that one of the objects of the despatch to Gacta of these two ships is to afford to Francis 11. and his party a comfortable and commodious means of performing the sea voyage from his last remaining stronghold to the earnest French port. It is again reported that the Empe ror Napoleon has begged the young monarch to accept of an asylum in France ; and. I should not be surprised, on many accounts, to find that the invitation was accepted. It is also said that the Government of the Emperor has offered to charge itself with the conduct of all his pecuniary arrangements, so far as Piedmont is concerned. The Queen Dowager, now in Rome, loses no opportunity of making known in that city that the French Government is the only Power in Europe with whom her son has the slightest rea son to be satisfied. A great variety of rumours are in circulation regarding the relations between the Imperial Government and the Court of Rome, but many of them are not worth repeating. It is fully be lieved, however, that the Emperor is secretly exhorting the oly Father to make up matters with Piedmont ; at the same time, one fact need only be alluded to, for the purpose of evidencing the excessive coolness of the present relations between the two Governments. In consequence of the difficulty of coming to an understanding as to the appointment of Bishops in France, there are at this moment not less than seven episco pates vacant ; which reminds me, by the way, that this is, after all, not the worst instance of the effects of a misunderstanding between France and the Holy See ; for, at the time of the diffe rences between Louis XIV. and the Pope of that day, there were not less than seventeen vacant bishoprics. There is no French home news of importance. The circulars of M. de Persigny, and the discus sions, comments, and speculations which abound on the subject of the new legislative and execu tive changes, absorb ,every other topic. The Empress is exrcted to return to-morrow. The decree reorganising on a new basis the Government of Algeria, was to be published yesterday. M. Emile Olivier has requested M. de Persigny to authorise the publication, under his (M: Olivier's) auspices, of a new weekly journal ; and h has offered three titles for the approval of_t e minister—viz., "The Elector," " Universal,.Suft,„_e rage," and " Liberty ;" but the replY..° l In government has not yet been receiv One ch , t ;iee of the ' would suppose there is not much last named appellation being authorise, nd ht have An accident is spoken of which was T Re lately • proved fatal to the Emperor. the boiler of the establishment burst with a loud when . suddenly v i s iting a factory near La V ilette, noise.
