Accounts from Paris state that trade is rather worse. The commercial accounts from New York elicit conflicting opinions. The -Daily News says they indicate a continued feeling of discouragement in all commercial circles. The Times presents a more hopeful view, and notices a rally of about 5 per cent. in most of the principal Stocks, although no specie from this country had yet came upon the market, the Europa, with £108,500, having only reached Boston as the mail left. The Bank return for the week showed a small increase in the stock of bullion, and the Times adds that there was evidently a better feeling in all quarters. The following appeared in our later editions of Monday : The demand for money preparatory to the holidays, and the continued flatness on the Paris Bourse, conse quent upon the doubts as to what the Ist of January may bring forth regarding Italy and Austria, have caused an increase of flatness in the Stock Exchange. No gold was taken from the Bank. In arc railway market there has been a very limited business at steady prices.—Times City Article. Owing to the approach of the holidays the stock markets were dull. Consols showed rather a drooping tendency, but the decline was to merely a fractional extent. The demand for money in the discount coatiket and at the Bank of England was active though not pressing, in consequence partly of the intervention of holidays on Monday and Tuesday. Little or no busi ness was done below 5 per cent. —Daily News City Article. The Times remarks that the rise during last week in the price of wheat is a serious feature, indicating as it does, in the face of enormous arrivals, that our crop has proved much worse, both in quantity and quality, than was anticipated. The Daily News states that while the gold shipped to America since November 28th amounts to £1,482,000, the bullion in the bank has only decreased £529,106 Orders for further shipments of gold have arrived. The Daily News says the present crisis is political and not commercial, and the ordinary commercial safe guards are therefore deprived of their remedial effect.

For Calcutta, vessels have been eleartered at a reduction of 2s per ton for Salt. There has been no chartering homewards from India during the past week. Shipowners are expecting high rates, as there is every pro bability of the transports in China being retained in Government employ. The Guano rate is still 655, but an advance daily looked fon, as the present rate does not command much tonnage. Pacific freights are weaker; Outwards 35s from \Vales to Callao being difficult to obtain. For the Brazils, tonnage offers very Freely', and rates have fallen 2s to 3s per ton. In Freights to U.S. ports, there is little doing, and as tonnage is abundant, we do not look for any improvement for some time. RAILS—BRISTOL CHANNEL, To Galveston (nominal) 20s And t Ittet bent.

NEWS '(SF THE DAY: On the ‘subieCt stench prisoners who lAVe heol put to death by the 'Chinese, or who have sunk under the cruel barbarities to which they Were ex posed, the Tafrie, of Mond* hall 'OA following " SeVeral English loifrlialt, in speaking of the prisoners *h`d naVe died at Pekin, have made statements which are entirely false. They assert that their mortal re mains have been abandoned, and that no search:has been made for them. This assertion is the very opposite of the truth, Tke military authorities have done; in this respect, everything prescribed by piety for the death; and by religion. The !Aortal reniains kif the iiits'oneis Who Stiectimbed dining their 'captivity were - depusited by the Chinese in one of the public gardens of the city, which serves as a' place of sepulcture to Chinese subjects of the first class in point of literary standing. They were recovered through the allied generals, and interred in a suitable manner in the Christian cemetery situated behind the cathedral. This funeral ceremony was COridilded with treat . pomp; in presenee or a great nntniier of people. Military honours were paid to them, in conformity with recognised usage. A handsome monument has been raised to them, which is placed under the protection of French missionaries, who represent the Christianity of the Province of North Petschili, and who are demonstrating much zeal in the fulfilment of their duties." The happy coincidence has been remarked which brings uuthentio neWs of peaneWithdhina, just as the hells *ere singing theii first Chrlstnias Chime. The papers &daily congratulate the country on the con ditions of peace. By the fourth article Tien-tsin at once becomes an open mart for trade, and brings us into direct commercial communication with Pekin. The acquisition of Kowloon is a real benefit. It is a small peninsula directly opposite Hong Hong, and forms the northern shore of, the harboiir of. that tieliloit, ft is no* a ieftige for the scum of the Chinese population, and will be subject to our police regulations. This. is -Mit a conquest, it is merely' the acquisition of a piece of building land. The great empire of China has been opened to EurOpean commerce ; and, if we act wisely for : the -future, the necessity -for these expensive periodical expeditions is at an ends Let us then resolve never again to rush into a War tatesent any imaginary instill or to Vindicate British against dhinese etiqueitte . . The low state of Turkey presses itself . upon Us in every shape. A great excitement, of a deapairing nature, has been produced by the suicidal announcement that the payment of the Treasury Bonds have been postponed for three years. What wonder. What will.

The most remarkable and significant fact Of the rem- val of the French fleet frorn before Cants, where, from its position, it rendered an effectualbombardment impos sible, is beyond all doubts The land bombardment does not seen to effect mach damage: The febehtly reported torrespondenb'e tetween' the 'King ,of.

Of course, according to Piedmontese accounts, the state of Naples is very satisfactory; but we decline believing it. There i 3 irresistible etidenee to shoW that all is nit right in that pfoidnee, From Hungary we learn that Baron Von Sehmerling's circular has produced a great sensation. The appoint ments of the governors have arrived at Pesth from Vienna; The present officers cease to act on the 2nd of lannary nest, the iiietillea is a juVenile dointholi-place Sort of an easy-going complaint, to ithiCh, Wider anything like ordinary care, .we attach no ideas of clangor ; htliteter loathsome and disagreeable to the delitate patient it Mak be: It were gruel to smile; perhaps ; at a grown Awl, of any rebrist Pretensions; falling sick of this illness? and it were still more wicked, perhaps, hot to festetin our risible faculties when we read of a Kingthe King of Saxony—being so seized, and of, in consequence, the entire direction of affairs cif State having been devolved Upon Ministers Until his Majesty's redover7 i brit so it is in Saxony. • At the present day there are several agencies at work for supplying our manufacturers with cheaper and better • Cotton, and that in greater abundance than can be obtained. froth the United States. It is no longer safe to trust to siipplles to a country *hioh seems on the *eil •iefge Of war; and it will lie some what astonishing if the siaVes adirantage of present circumstances to burst their bonds, and to declare that their labour must henceforward be properly remunerated; if they are to plant and pick cotton. We must, at all events, prepare for this enntnality. Public attention is now aroused,.by the force of circtinistandesi to the superiority of our Went India, East India, Aus ' tralian, and African dependencies as the best of all cotton ' fields; and if a portion of the vast expenditure for raw material, which during many past years has flowed into America, Were expended on our own possessions ; we should soon beecone tOrriparatively independent of that doiintry and its politics, and restore our colonies to more than their former prosperity. Prominent among subjects of domestic interest seems that of skating, the quality of the ice, and the incidents of the sport. The roads of access are everywhere so slippery, and yet so constantly crowded, the surface of the ice is so rough, and the !usual accompaniments of jostling stumbling, tumbling, and recovering, so com mon, that, next to the street accidents arising from the constant and severe frost, this slippery amusement and most hraCittg and invigorating exercise seems to have risen for the nonce into national Importance. Judging from our own sensations as to the temperattire yester day, we should opine that the "numerous immersions" of Which we heard a couple of days ago Were at an end ; for if water will not freeze to any degree of thickness and strength under Yesterday's freezing cold, we shall netet etpeet to see lee of any thickness henceforth. About three thousand more men have just been thrown out of work at this horribly inclement season of the year. The thought cannot but trouble the good-hearted and Well-disposed members of the community. These are the nail-makers of South Staffordshire. There is also a serious strike in Derbyshire, Oolliety disasters will never cease to aggravate our feelings, and insult our sense of justice due to the poor ignorant and infatuated collier, titan Parliament take the matter up and see to it, as we pointed out in a recent article, that a sufficient system of ventilation is adopted in all our coal mines. With the recent South Wales holocaust still reeking on the altar, another sacrifice has been offered up, not so awful in regard to the number of its victims, but sufficiently serious, following so closely - to call loudly for prompt and effective upon toe - human life. The - to stay this dreadful waste Menet... recent explosion! of fire-damp at .tieti Colliery, nen: Durham, caused instantaneous death to twenty of in l. t." men at work ; and several of the poor fellows have left wives and large families destitute. Please to remember the Humane Society's men. The ' somewhat unexpected approach of ice-bound waters has properly called forth no end of skaters and sliders on. , the cold, blue, slippery path. Too much courage upon the recently or imperfectly formed ice is undoubtedly a danger that offers no recompense—is, in short, foolish ness. The Humane Society should take the matter up, and endeavour to obtain some police regulations for their protection, analogous to those which exist in reference to other cases of wanton sporting with the public com fort and convenience. We speak as old skaters, and we are quite snre the skating and sliding public, which in winter means half the middle and working classes, would go with the society in a desire to repress the , foolish spirit of bravado by which the danger and labour of a hard-working body of men are at least doubled.

OUR CHINESE BARGAIN. IN SO FAR as frost and snow may be necessary to the full realisation of Christmas, these wintry elements have not been wanting. If an irrenis tible, all pervading, and rarely equalled degree of cold could intensify the mirth, and add to the real enjoyment of this festive season, the Christ mas of 1861 ought to have been one of the most enjoyable and memorable. Nothing could have been more easily appreciable than the remarkable contrast which we have been forced to see and feel between the stiffly frozen ; slippery ; and un inviting fate of our high*ays arid thoroUghfares, and the warm, genial and cheering interior of the blazing hearth. Moreover, turning from the social to the political aspect of affairs at this period of time, we find that the news is good and season able; even ; if like most human sources of joy; it shotild be ebniMingled With some particles of bit tered grief. - L , Not only , haVe the tidings of peace with China received further confirmation, but we have learned some of the actual terms and conditions. Mr. Locti is not now far from home. He will soon be able to tell us by word of mouth of his wonderful escape with his life: When the news left; the English and French ambassadors no longer knocked at the gates of Pekin; begging to be heard by the alitherities: They had taken their residences within the capital; and there they were to remain protected by the army until duly satisfied; while the French army retired only to Tien-tsin, which place was not to be evacuated Until Unequivocal evidence had been giVeU Of the dod faiili of the 'Chinese'. The printipal clatiSes Of the treaty have been but briefly made knoWn t.o is through the telegram; but does the inforiUatiA we pOSseSSseeiii to war rant its iti Coiiclading that the objects of the war have been realised ? We recently treated of those objects under a quadruple division. Let us repeat them, and see to what extent they have been attained. First t It was deemed necessary to eontinee the Emperor that re4istitriee to bur poWer Vviis fiitile. The kabti already Cited in this and in our father article; oh this topic; and those hereaftei• to he referrer to, Seel to iiidiCate that His Celestial Majesty has, for the time being, at least, been sufficiently impressed with a sense of hi s military inferiority to the allied powers of England and France. It is significant also to note that the Emperor has Undertaken to make an apology for the affair of the Peiho last year: it Would be amusing to know how this is •to be done. Secondly : It was considered proper to exact an adequate amount of indemnity money. That sum, we are now told, has been doubled. By this we understand that the Chinese Government has agreed to pay twice the sum demanded before the advance of the tallied armies iipOn This can scarcely be objected to, but, on the con trary, may be , set down as a just infliction, partly in the name of compensation, and partly in the light of a fine for contumacy, and breach of faith. No doubt the sum thus to be obtained net lie any thing lilts siifi~cicnt to cover the cost of this most expensive expedition; but, after all, the mere pecuniary aspect of the affair is not the most material--and yet the sum now agreed to be paid to us from the pockets of the Celestial tax-payers will be felt by them as a burden which it would have been very much better to have aVoicled. Morecy'ver, to Have in: sisted 'Upon any considerably greater exaction might, to some extent, have th war t e d our pur pose, which was to convince the Chinese that, although . we are not be thwarted in our intentions, We are not avaricious or oppressive.. Thirdly : It to be a sine , qtta, non of any satisfactory arrangement that there should be conceded greatly enlarged priiileges fer developinent of our trade-with-China hygpening - uf. the ports and also the interior of the ' country to general ,commerce. This, indeed; ;Was, par excellence,, the object of the war.. .We could have wished that on this great point the news had been a little more ample. - Ilowever, it is most important to note that Tein-tsinis is to be opened to trade imme diately, that Kowloon is to be ceded to the British Crown, and that the treaty of Tein-tsin is to be recognised. Tien-tsin in China May be likened to our .Liverpool in England. Kowloon is a most valuable and important addition to our rights in Hong Kong—lying as it does, a small peninsula, nearly opposite that settlement, and skirting the shore to the north of its harbour. We shall thus be able to extirpate the pirates inhabiting that region, who have hitherto so much endangered British property; while, as a more salubrious residence for out Hong-Kong merchants, and for the lodging of our troops, it cannot fail to prove a substantial boon. Thiyond this, ho - wever, the acquisition is not to be estimated at much. The professed recognition of the Treaty of Tien tsin would seem to imply that, as we desired, the mysterious veil - Which has hitherto shrouded the Whole of the Chinese Empire hats been torn asunder ;' and that the ports of China, Which, with Very lithited exceptions; have been inacces sible to our mercantile nail', ate now to be opened up to all corners. If further details shall confirm this view; and if the forces now in China see faithfitily to the full realisation of our anticipa tions; we cannot help coming to the conclusion that Mirth, if not all ; has been achieved to repay us for our great erierifices: Time alone can toll. In dealing with the Chinese, Who have shown themselves so unprecedently slippery, We feel that *e can rely only on accomplished facts. We are certainly not uncharitable, but would hope for the best. _Fourthly and lastly In order to make any obtainable advantages com pletely available to our commerce, it was to have been stipulated that measures should be taken to establish a regular diplomatic mission at Pekin, so as to keep open a regular medium of direct appeal to the head of the Chinese Government, If we rightly understand the telegraphic news, this point also has been gained, for we are told that " Ministers are to reside at Pekin." The reverse side of the picture represents the melancholy end of BOWLBY, BRABAZON, DE NOR MAN, and ANDERSON. Englishmen attach no trifling value to the lives of such men, so sacri ficed. There is something specially revolting to our national sentiments in the too probable fact that Captain BEABAZON was first cruelly tortured and then deliberately beheaded, while his mangled body remains unaccounted for. And although there is a grimly melancholic satisfaction in knowing that BOWLBY, DE NORgAN, and AN . PERSON were brought in and buried with high honours in a Christian cemetery, it is still mcst painful to think that their precise fate—especially that of Mr. BOWLBY—is still a mystery. Indem nities are said to be expected from the Chinese for the families of those our deceased fellow countrymen. We trust there are men in power in connection with the distribution of these in demnities who are capable of appreciating the in estimable services of a correspondent of the English Press in relation to such undertakings; and to them we feel e:: titled to look for an ample recognition of the clainiU of Mr. 130wLEY's family. While we deeply mourn widl th o se who most nearly lament the loss of the men whose 13.9noured names we have mentioned, we consider that the distin guished sufferers are entitled to the highest honours. They died for England ; and England is never indifferent to the sacrifices of her faithful sons. Let us hope that with these great and costly immolations we have now seen an end of our Chinese wars. Whatever may be the value of our Chinese trade, it is not within the range of probability that it can ever reach to that degree o f d eve iopment that would make it worth the r ecurring repetiti on o f s uch .costly f r equently' Let us hop e t o h ave n o more war exper iments. with China. Several accidents were reported yesterday at the hos pitals from parties having slipped, owing to the con tinued froq, FOREIGN INT ELLIGENCE FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, 23rd Dec., 1860.

The Senate will meet probably on the 21st of January, and the .Corps Legislatif on the 4th of February.

SI. Fould has gone to Tarbes on his way to Nice. The Emperor and he continue on the most friendly footing towards each other. Since M.

The artists at the Gobelins works are busily engaged at present in making too Carpets coa taining likeirts'e§ o the Emperor,and 4 3 press; iiitehded present to tlie Minister. It has. also transpired that M. Pould nas peen offered the title of Duke, and a chief place in the council of ministers. One of the ministers without a portfolio, g. Magne j has been installed in the house in tho A? eniie *litaighe; the inilieFdr has Di his munificence bestoWed upon hirn: It cost riot less than . ddo;000 francs (L24;000), and the Ern' peror, lai , .e,niore than 100;000 francs to,Complete and furnish. the iriferior: M: salaryl Which ,;;as ±4,Odd 6, 6 16.:J t 6 6 head of a department of the ministry, has beeii raised to X 6,000. I have every reason to believe it certain that the commercial negotiations which hate been entered FrithCb tifb goiri on in the iies6ihle: Sill! as a Vast number of different points have to 138 considered; it is scarcely likely that the necessary preliti~iriarles wild be coUiPleted earlier thau the 15th or 2dtli of th . e Franco-Belgian treaty is to be of a still more et tensive character than that which has been signed by France and England. The interests of Belgium are supported at the various conferences which are held by DIAL Firmen, llogier, Liedts, Baron Beyens and toi,det ,Sttaeten arid cid the side of France, by MM: ThotiVet!lei; ItOihier; Herbert, de Clerq, Barbret, and flaroche, jun. It is stated that the abolition of passports on both sides of the frontier will be agreed upon, either in the treaty itself, or at the time of its execution. A very important question is at this moment under discussion bet Ween England and France. It relate§ td Syria if it be true as stated in certain journals that France and Russia dre as one on this subject, the same cannot be said as to I"rattee and England; and I have reason to know that M. Lavalette has experienced very serious diffi culties at Constantinople. The Turkish Minister alleges that Syria is pacified, whilst it is notorious that such is not the fact t that Fuad Pasha has been completer suceesfdl iii His Ini§sioti; arid that; by way of rewarding him, it is Wished td dOrdidate him Viceroy of Syria, with powers of a nhieli more extensive nature than those which he at present possesses. Meanwhile, also, the conduct of Fuad Pasha has been most inconveniently troublesome, and General Hautpoul has met, arid still Meets; with no end of obstacles in the fulfilnient his niissidri---.irt fact, unless the French Commander-in-Chief had been supported by the European Commissioners, there would have been a regular rupture between him and the Pasha. The further occupation of Syria is thus admitted to be indispensable, and although the Constantinople journals talk as if France was about to recall its troops in the month of February, and give Most -unmistakeable hints to that effect, there is not the slightest dhance of any such mea sure being adopted by France. Several rumours are in circulation as to the present state of matters at Gaeta. A partner of one of the first Paris banking houses said to several persons on the Bourse, the day before yesterdaa, that at the termination of the last Privy Council meeting, when the Russian note was discussed, the Emperor made known his intention of preventing the continuation of the siege at any price, and declared that he would, if necessary, give orders for occupying the fortress with a body of French troops, Ido not wish, however, to guarantee this account. A story of a very circumstantial character is also in circulation, respecting the sale of Venetia. It is proposed to give to Austria certain territorieS on the Danube, in compensation for that pro vince, ds, it is alleged, Austria has most posi tively declared that &he will never consent to treat for the cesssion of Venetia, if it be made a pure question of money, and that she 'will only agree to give it up in exchange for some other territory, her dignity imposing upon her the obligation not to yield for any other considera tion. She will only accept money, it is said, by way of indemnity, for the whole of the materiel, which she makes over to Piedmont at the time of withdrawal. It is further asserted that England has expressed her readiness to approve of the transaction being carried out on this foot ing, The project for the creation of four battalions to each regiment of the French army is about to be put in execution, so that by the month of March next France will be able, with ease, to have 750,01 V men under arms ! It is not true that the Imperial Guard is to be increased. The octroi duties will not, as was at once sup posed, be suppressed on the Ist of January. The question is not sufficiently ripe for discussion, and, in the meantime, an inquiry is to be made as to the results of the abolition in Belgium. Nothing could be duller than the state of affairs at the Bourse. LIVERPOOL EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY, MOUNT. PLEASANT.—Consulting Surgeon, Dr. Hugh Neill, F.R.A.S. ; Surgeons, Dr. R.

Saviour's, Falkner square, took place on Christmas Eve, when a rich set of robes, a silver pocket communion service, and a purse, containingg gold, were presented to the Rev. Joseph S. Pickles, 8.A,, curate. The rev. gentleman has for the last two years (doting which period he has been curate of the above church) greatly endeared himself to the congregation by the earnest zeal with which he has discharged the sacred duties of his office, and by his general kindness and urbanity. NEPTUNE"—THE LIVERPOOL CiLtRIVARL—We are' happy to say that the Christmas of 18& has given birth to "Neptune," a local cliet rivari, which, judging from the manner in which the publishers have made their bow to the public, and their promises of wit directed towards humbug, cant, and popular frivolities, illustrated tell ingly and well by local and metropolitan artists, will, we think, meet with the approbation and support of the. community. The present number, although perhaps , rather diminutive, is exquisitely printed and published ; the cuts are very pretty and telling in their way, and all the jokes are jokes that need no remarks at the bottom of the page in order to illustrate their meaning.. We welcome the advent of "Neptune," and wish him every success. - - DESTRUCTIVE Finm.—On Monday night, a little before ten o'clock, a fire occurred in Manesty-lane, Paradise street. The fire was discovered to have proceeded from the cooperage of Messrs. Wright and Co., sugar manu facturers. In several minutes after the first alarm the tame uppermost stories of Messrs. Wright's sugar ware house viere found to be in a blaze, which gradually in creased until the arrival of the engines. The West of England engine was placed at the front of the burning pile in Manesty-lane, and those of Seel-street and Hatton-garden in Paradise-street, the pipes from which lattc/ were convey(' through the general doorway be tween the shops of Messrs. Benussi, pawnbroker and outfitter, and Thornton, provision dealer, up to the point at which the fire threatened to break through and by these means such a storm of water was throvn upon the devoted building that by a little after twelve o'clock the flames had been completely subdued. The origin of this fire cannot as yet be ascertained. The damage done cannot be estimated at present ; nor can the amount of insurances on either premises or goods be giteri, although insurances on both are effected in the Liverpool, London, West of England, and Northern Insurance Companies. SACRILEGE AT ROME.—The Italian journals state that a few evenings back the discovery was made in the famous shrine of Loreto, in the Papal States, that in the course of the night a box for the reception of the offer ings of the faithful had been opened by means of a false key, and the money in it, suppo sed to be about 1,000 crowns, abstracted. Strange to say, however, the thieves did not take a jewel worth 80,000 crowns which is suspended from the neck of the statue,aue neither did they steal any other of the many c value in. the place. The robbery turned out to have been corn mitted by a priest attached to the c hapel, and after per petrating it he got out of a window to avert suspicion; it also appeared that another priest of the chapel and an inhabitant of the town had been privy to the robbery, and had received part of the money. In a short time these men were arrested, ,Pd Part of the booty was recovered. 'SII
