The solemn service for the dead, according to the formula of the Roman Catholic church, had •previously been per formed in the private chapel attached to the late residence of the deceased, Abercromby Villa, Waterloo. The chapel, in which the body lay, was in black, and exhibited the mournful indications of woe, sorrow, and bereavement. The sacred apartment was filled by the immediate rela tives and friends of the deceased, and by those of the general public who were so fortunate to obtatn the privi lege of admission.

At the former place, the accounts state that the Sugar crop had nearly all been gathered in, and quence of the scarcity of shipping, freights ruled high. At: Jamaica, trade was not active. The steamer New Grenada had arrived at Panama, with 180,000 dollars in specie. that in cons Commercial advices from the Cape of Good Hope to the 15th November have come to hand. These contain the official returns of the exports and imports of the colony for the half year ending dune 30th, 1855. At that_ date the declared value of imports amounted to 879,788/, and the exports 440,816/., showing a balance of trade against the colony amounting to 438,972/, or nearly 50 per cent. This state of affairs is nothing new in the commercial history of the Cape colony, for it has been gradually increasing during the last thirty The deficiency is ma.de,up by the large years government expendittire, and that of Indian and other strangers visiting the colony. At the same time there is an accumulated debt, which has now reached the sum of 700,0001. Com pared with the corresponding half year of 1834, there is an increase in both the imports and exports ; the, latter being respectively 622,218/. and 315,579/, and the im ports for the whole year 1,640,1421, which is likely to be exceeded this year proportionately with the increase in the first six months. The chief exports of the colony, wool and .wine, continue to exhibit a . , favourable increase, and the article of copper ore recently added to the 'customs list bids fair to become an important item' in the' export' trade. The value of these during the half year was :—wool, 297 ; 888/. against 221,8651. in the cor responding six months of 1854; wine, 33,1691. against-13,425/. in . the previous year; and copper ore troth 4,120/. - in‘lBs4, to 14,1791. in 1855. The shipments of bullion during the six months eliding December 31. acceraing to 'a statement' prepared - by. Messrs. Haggard and Pixley, made up a total of 9,462,2101. against 4,671,830/ in the period,of last year. During the last twelve months the exports were 14,221,610/, and in 1854, 10,902,8741., shoWing an increase in the past year of 3,321,7331. These totals are ; of course, irrespective of the large sums sent by way of Folkestone and Dover to France, which, according to the Custorreturns, amounted in the last six months of 1854 to 6,366,0101:,' - and in the like period of 1855 to 10,821,4501.

This feature would be fully explained upon the presumption that the Bank is assisting the Treasury to meet the heavy disbursement incidental to the season. It will be noticed that the sum standing at the credit of government shOws an increase - of almost the identical amount. The English Stock Market to day exhibited renewed heaviness. At one period a fresh decline of 1 per cent. was established, but at the close the reduction from yesterday's final quotations did not exceed *per cent. The closing prices were 87 87i. Any tendency 'towards improvement is checked. by the continued sales, some of which are attributed to the requirements of Governthent. The prospects of the Money Market are also regarded with less confidence. Pending the Czar's definitive .reply, some. dispoSition is still . shown to support the market. The .general demand for money to day was again extraordinarily active, this being the 4th of . the month. In the Stock Exchange, however, money was :rather easier, at about 5 per cetit: on Government Securities. At Paris, to day, the Three per Cent. Rentes rallied about per cent. for money. The final quotations for the account was slightly lower than that of yesterday. There was still some enquiry'to-day for gold for exportatiOn. The improvement to-day in the Exchange on Paris is attributed to the large ,amount of Australian and other gold lately remitted from this side. The heavy arrivals of silver by the Tyne may,have had some influence. The following are the closing quotazions of the Foreign Exchanges : Amsterdam, short, 11 16,1 to 11 17.

We learn that during the recent levee, the Emperor of the French made a few, but strong, remarks to the Neapolitan Anibassador, on the sympathy shown by hig master with the cause of Russia. The Ambassador, who is very deaf, muttered. some unmeaning excuse. Itwas thought that the papers would allude to the tic' atter to-day, but an intimation has been sent to them not to do so, as it would serve no object to envenom the matter by giving it publicity. The Paris papers have therefore said nothing on it. An Imperial decree, on the proposition of the Minister of the Interior, makes one promotion to the rank of commander in the Legion of Honour, seven to that of officer, and lid nominations as knights, among prefects, sub-prefects, mayors; and national guards ; and another decree, on the proposition of the Minister of Public Instruction, gives three promotions to the rank of officer, and 28 nominations as knights, among members of the clergy, professors in colleges, Ste.

The . Journal des Debats , contains an.article, by M. de Lacy, on, the arrival of Count ,Esterhazy at St. Petersburg, and the passible answer of Russia to the Austrian communication. Count Esterhazy, it appears, arrived at St. Petersburg on the 24th, and on the 27th had an interview with Count Nessel rode, at which he delivered to him the communica tion from the Court of Vienna:—M. de Nesselrode listened to the propositions of M. de Esterhazy with nut showing any emotion, and did not . interrupt the Austrian Minister; simply saying, '! I will take the orders of the Emperor. Letters from Berlin state that, according to•his instructions, Count Ester hazy Will wait eight days (that is until the 4th of January—yesterday) for the Russian reply. If that is not delivered by the 4th, Count• Esterhazy send to Count :Nesselrode a note reminding him of his communication of the 27th of December, and urging upon him to declare the resolution -of the Emperor Alexander, giving a fresh interval of ten days for the reply;to this second communication If the Russian governmentpersist in not replying; 'Count •Esterhazy•will, on the 15th of January, quit St.' Petersburg and return to. Vienna, with all the staff of the, Austrian Legation. But the Berlin writers are persuaded that Russia will send a reply before the 15th, and perhaps before .the 4th of January. The Debats indicates that Russia " will consent to the neutralisation of the Black Sea," but " with conditions"—the conditions being those already intimated in the Russian circular of the 22nd of December ! The Debats gives the arguments of the partisarisnf Russia, who hold that these conditions are the same as those mentioned by M. Drouyn de Lhuvs at the Vienna conferences, and afterwards formulated by Austria, but points out, in reply, the arguments which -rest, on the events of the war since accomplished. Those events indicate the only safe solution : " Military preparations must - dis appear; from the shores, of- the Black , Sea, -No more military Tosts, no more arsenals, no more fortifications, no more trenches, and above a ll, consular agents to protect commerce and to watch closely the- execution of new conventions." The Debats says,,in conclusion, that th.e:'best autriori ties have .no hope of a successful issue to the nre- t negociations RUSSIA The Nord, of Brussels,, publishes a Berlin cor respondence, which gives the following analysis of the. Russian Circular of the 22nd December. It commence by giving .you textually the an nouncement (notice) annexed to the despatch, and which runs as follows The Emperor Consents that: the third point shall be solved (resodu) by the, followina combina tions:— I. The closing of the Straits 2. No military flag whatever shall float in the Black Sea, with the exception of the forces which Russia and the Porte by a - common consent may deem itneeessary to,maintain there. 3. The amount of those forces shall be fixed by a direct agreement between the two coasting Powers, without.any ostensible participation of the other Powers. The following is an exact analysis, I might almost say, the reproduction, of the despatch itself. which must actually be in the hands 'of all the Govern= ments to which it is addressed : The Imperial Cabinet first states that the mo mentary interruption of hostilities in consequence of the bad weather has necessarily aroused the general hope that advantage would be taken of it for the establishment of peace, and decfares it was not the last to share the sentiment and to devote a just so!icitude to it. It owns frankly that the desire expressed by the Emperor of the French at a public solemnity, in favour of a prompt and durable peace, was at .the same time, and still is the dearest wish of the Emperor Alexander. The elevated policy which has been bequeathed to this Sovereign by his predecessors makes it his duty to make use of the power which God has placed in his hands only for the good of mankind, and consequently to desire peace, not only in the interests of his own subjects, but in those also of the whole of Europe. The Emperor Alexander has not waited for the present moment to endea vour to attain that object. On his accession to the throne he gave his full and entire consent to the bases admitted by his august father. .These bases. however, admit of different inter. pretations. The Emperor, without hesitation, gave them the most liberal interpretation • (leur donna les plus larges developenients). As a proof thereof he can quote the frank and loyal concur rence which he lent to the modifications to be introduced into the political system of the East, and to the collecti v e guarantee which was to ass ure its . independence..' even went so far as to sacrifice his secular and glorious traditions. He finally proved the sincerity of his resolutions by the .manner w ith which he adopted the chang es proposed for the Principalities of the Danube and for the navigation of that river. If the conferences were broken off on the subject of the third point, the responsibility thereof does not fall upon the Imperial Cabinet, for when the Austrian Cabinet brought forward the solution which appeared to it most acceptable, it was the Russian Plenipotentiary who declared it suscep tible of becoming the starting point (point du depart) for an . arrangement, and it was the Ministers : of the adverse party who rejected it in consequence of internal dissensions which had arisen. In the course of the grave events which ensued, while torrents of bllod flowed, and the two belli sacrifices :I thereby, he ag as his enem Lppeared resolv o the ite the right of mig ?irit of ju tice and of conciliation, which for nearly half a century, had presided over the destinies of Europe. But as soon as information reached the govern ment of his Majesty, which assured him that his enemies were disposed to take up again (reprenclre en sous-teuvreithe negotiations of peace on - the bases of the four points, such as they.-had: been defined in the Conferences, the Imperial Cabinet did not hesitate to . come forward frankly, to meet, those peaceful . dispoSitions, and to seek, frankly, a pos sible solution for the third point the order of-ideas which had appeared. satisfactory to all parties. r will give a The tmpeiial Cabinet declares 'in cnclusion, " that this resolution of the Em new, pledge: Of the sentiments of concilia,tion. 1 1 ready to mare for the peace of the, woi ptits his trust in the . ithPartial powers. which ies were 1..n.= TIINTAt ment of ;truggld, and calmly ar lave remained ,strangers 'to the d confidently awaits the decision of his enernie, TtIVZI A letter from C gives the following information nstantinople, of the still expect, Formed per this v ed in the Important iiiodificatiOn,s ar Ottoman Ministry, an of opinion that t} )elieved th Cabinet as Grand Viziei chid Paella has been gain a A..few days ago the model of a in. initted td the Sultan, has been struck, in or Id th al le:coismboih w.er On one Sicle'n tri Tur. four ft brming a Xilibct and a map.

The new internuncio has' received a most cordial reception from all members of, the government. His arrival has also •made • a very favourable impression in - - the different political circles, where it is hoped his Corning will be the signal far' the adoption of certain resOlutionrs, the gravity of which 'cannot be too highly estimated in the important circumstances ~in which we find ourselveß. The affair of the 301 doisW Colonel Turr, to whiclipeople wished to give too much importance, particularly in Europe, has . beenproperly arranged here. You are aware that the Porte showed itself justly hurt at the act of authority exercised on its territory by the Austrian general. I am informed that the, most satisfactory explanations have been given. on the point. Other accounts from Constantinople of the 24th Ult. state that the Ottoman . GOvernment • was seriously 'intent on devising means to obviate the fatal consequences that might attend the fall of Kars, should all further advance of the Russians on the Turkish territory not be immediately phecked. The plan of the. 'new campaign was agreed upon . at a council of war, convoked for the Purpose, and - . at :which . the ./ allied 61-enerats Mansfield and Larehey, Colonel Chiesa Della Torree, and the first dra g omans of the 'English and FrenchEmbassies.assisted.' Ten thousand men are to be detached from the army of Omar Pasha, and conducted by General MouliliS Pasha, from Such urn Kaleh to Trebiiond, where the other troops about to operate in Asia are to assemble. On the 22nd intelligence reached Constantinople that Omar Pasha,.meeting with insurmountable obsta cies, had renounced marching upon Kutais, and was. in, full retreat upon,Suchurn , Kaleh: Although the failure of his expedition . was long since anticipated; the event 'nevertheless produced a painful sensation on the l?'orte and the 'public. I • The e Crimean mail brought accounts ?of ' the 22nd from the allied camp. The position at Sebastopol . Was unchanged'. The coast was visited on the 19th by a frightful huiricane, which' lasted several hours. An Austrian vessel, laden with 100 oxen and '2QO sheep,, was driven at night into the Bay Of Sebastopol, and batteries of.Fort.ConStant- tie immed upon her the vesse .ed tip :11 11 a tile then,ifowever, it ro. d Uoi on the 2 I , for Tr ) at Co: on Ins v ten month AUSTRIA. The Augsburg :GazetM of the 31st ult. - gives the following detailed• account of the recent transac tions between France, Austria, and England: The article is as follows : The mission of Count Valentine Esterhazy is the result of a complete understanding between the Western PoWers 'and Austria. Since the com mencement of the Eastern crisis, the understand ing bet Ween the three Cabinets has never been so clear, .cordial, and perfect, as it now is, and this is as well in regard to the new conditions of peace as to the measures to be taken, if they shottld. be rejected. The terms olpeace will be recapitulated, and such remarks made on them as may appear necessary:-- , The Russians to relinquish all claim to the right of protection over the Danubian Principali ties, and to agree to certain conditions for securing their future political position. This point, though difficult of execution, is expressed in such clear and positive language that,—if it should be accepted,—it will be impossible for Russia to exercise any prejudicial influence on the negotiations' for the regulation of the affairs of the countries in question. In short, it is demanded that Russia shall simply accept the arrangements which may be made, without sharing in the negotiations, or in the resolutions which may be taken. 2. Cession of a part of the Bessarabian territory, of such' extent that Russia shall not only be removed from the Delta of the Danube, but shall entirely relinquish her position on the Danube. (The geographical line for the new frontiers of Russia, which is given in the propositions, is drawn at a considerable distance from the Danube) _ . _ 3. Neutralisation of the Black Sea, without any Russian fortifications or arsenals on its coasts. At the mouths of the Danube, however, there is to be a station for the smaller vessels of war. which are to do police duty in the Black Sea. _,_ 4. All the poW'ers to protect the Christian sub jects of the Porte. The foregoing proposals ema nated from Austria, but the Western Powers added —the admission of consuls to All the ports , of the Black Sea, and the promise of Russia never in future to fortify the Aland Islands. In as (far as . iiustria is concerned, the proposi tions, without being an ultimatum; 'have the lin. portance of one. The new agreement made between ,the Western Powers and Austria is the most straightforiyard and" loyal way, and 'a speedy decision is required are fully resolved that therm i‘iMiajt!lftiriiinliiikAiUMCClMM3PUMNlllll . l is why such a short term has been granted to Russia.
