PROPOSITIONS FOR PEACE.

The Times.' Paris correspondent writes, on Sunday even-
ing :=

The main fact mentioned in my letter of Friday, of the
proffered intervention of Austria, is fully corroborated by sub-
sequent information ; but though I do not affirm positively
that she will at once declare war against Russia if the condi-
tions of which the overtures now discussed by the French and
English governments contain the basis are refused, yet it is
believed that she will break off her diplomatic intercourse
with her."

The same correspondent says :
" I am unable to give you any precise idea of the propositions
that would be tendered to Russia, but they are described as
perfectly acceptable to England and France, not only now,
but would be equally so even after another victorious cam-
.
paign."

EARLY CLOSING.---THE LADIES' LEAGUE.---We
learn that committees of ladies are about to be iormed
to carry out the principle of early closing ; the ladies
pledging themselves, and, if necessary, all that is dear
to them, to abstain from all evening shopping. We
are delighted to hear this, as we are convinced that
the news will be most welcome to thousands of
affectionate husbands driven out to their clubs by the
evening absence of the best and brightest ornaments
of the fireside---the wife. With evening shopping
rigorously suppressed, the fond husband will be
enabled to take the partner of his bosom to the opera,
the theatre, the concert ; places which, if he visits at
all, he is now too frequently compelled to visit:alone.
The movement on the part of the ladies, if successful,
will be a great boon to husbands. It is, besides, a
promising beginning. Who knows P In time, if
properly provoked, women may give up shopping
altogether.---Punch.

PRUSSIA.

The Chambers were opened on Thursday by the King. The
following is an extract from his majesty's speech :
" Gentlemen,,the conflict between several European powers
is not yet at an end, Our fatherland, however, continues to
be the abode of peace.
" I trust in God that it will remain so, and, that I shall
succeed in preserting the honour and standing of Prussia,
without inflicting upon our country the heavy sacrifices of war.
" I am proud to say that I know of no people so well pre-
pared for war or more ready for sacrifices than my own, when-
ever its honour or interests are really in danger.
" This proud consciousness, however, imposed upon me the
duty, while abiding faithfully by obligations already con-
tracted, not to enter into further engagements, the political
and military liabilities of which are not to be estimated before-
hand. In the attitude assumed by Prussia, Austria, and
Germany, behold a valid security for the further maintenance
of that independent position which is equally conducive to the
attainment of an equitable and lasting peace, and compatible
with sincere good wishes for all."

THE NOVEMBER CIRCULAR
OF THE
LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN TEA

COMPANY.

THE Company's SELECTIONS OF TIIE NEW SEASON'S TEA ARE
NOW SELLING at Old Postoffice.place, Liverpool.
The BEST CONGOUS arrived of this Crop are of the KAisow
kinds, which we directed public attention to last year.
The MONINGS, or strong full-bodied Congous, ARE NOT SO FINE
as previous imports.

The MONI NO districts are now largely occupied by the Rebels,
and this may account why the FINEST TEAS OF THE SEASON 1854
are now only finding their way through to the coast.
We are happy to inform our Customers that WE HAVE SECURED
SOME OF THESE. They are REMARKABLY FINE, finer than any
we have hitherto sold.

Congous are better adapted for consumption in Liverpool, on
account of the HARDNESS of the water.
But where +SOFTER water is attainable, we recommend our
SOUCHONGS and OOLONGS, whose MELLOW and EXQUISITE
flavour are not properly extracted by hard water.

To give our Customers an opportunity of tasting the FINEST
of the new Season's Congou, we shall sell it at 4s. per lb.
It does not pay us; but it is as much as it is worth.
Our FINE OLD MONINGS AND KAISOWS we sell at the SAME
PRICE, and they are IMMEASURABLY SUPERIOR.

CHINA.

The Times' correspondent at Hong Kong writes :
The allied fleets have done nothing to the northward, and
we understand Sir James Stirling has been employed in the
negotiation of a treaty with Japan, which Commander H.
Stirling is expected to proceed with to England next mail.
Two of his imperial majesty's ships and her Majesty's ship
Pique have taken possession of one of the Kurile Islands,
called on our charts Ouroupe (a company's island), and by the
Russians Iveroup. The Russian settlement there was de-
stroyed, when the flags of France and England were planted,
and the natives, with presents of flour, told they had now new
masters. The island is said to be about sixty miles long, has
a large inland lake, and sends (has sent) a number of valuable
furs annually to Ayan. The British fleet is expected to return
here shortly, while the French, we understand, proceeds to
Manilla. Since writing the foregoing the steamer Erin has
arrived from Shanghai, with dates to the 10th instant. The
advices contain no change in commercial matters. Her
Majesty's steamer Barracouta left for the Gulf of Tartary on,
the Bth, and the Styx for Nagasaki on the 10th. The Bittern
was refitting.

The Bonibay Times says: "It is generally reported that
Chin, Ho, and the priest Anang, have reappeared in the south
of Kwang-si, under a leader styled the Little Carp, and there
combined their forces, but not showing in a large body in one
place. The Governor-General sent a detachment of three or
four thousand men, with boats and artillery proportioned,
under the command of a colonel, who proceeded as far as
the district of Tank, southwest of Wuchu Fu, in Kwang-si,
where he and his corps stationed themselves. By some means
the insurgent leaders made him believe they wished to tender
their submission to the Emperor, and managed so well that,
ere he was aware, he was surrounded and his forces completely
dispersed or destroyed—men, vessels, ammunition--all being
taken or scattered. All the chief officers were taken, and,
with the other prisoners, doubtless, were put to death. Rein-
forcements have been collected and despatched to the place ;
but though not much is said, a sense of disquiet was felt in
the minds of the Cantonese, and they are anxiously awaiting
further news from the reinforcements sent to chastise the
insurgents, who are not yet gathered into a formidable body.
The Bittern, in company with the Paoushun, has had a severe
encounter with pirates at Chapoo, (qy. Shei-poo.)
SHANGHAI, October 7th.—The business in imports has
been limited, but the market firm. Exchanges on England,
for six months' sight bills, 6s. sd. ; on India, 303 rs. per
$lOO. Freights to England, £4 for tea, and £5 for silk.
Holm-KONG, October 15th.—The markets for imports at
Canton during the past week have been firm, and quotations
for manufactures show no further improvement. Exchanges
on England, for six months' sight bills, 4s. 9id ; on India
Bank Bills, 222 rs. to 223 rs. Freights for London, £4,

TO GAS CONSUMERS.
THE PATENT GAS REGULATOR insures a
saving of 25 per Cent. upon former consumption, while at
the same time a more brilliant light is obtained, and the un-
pleasant effects upon respiration, gilding, colours, &c., resulting
from the escape of unconsumed Gas, are, by a more perfect com-
bustion, avoided.

Gas i; generally delivered from the Street Mains at a pressure
of ti inches of water, often reaching to 3 inches. Experiments
have demonstrated that when of good quality it is most economi-
cally burnt at a pressure of four-tenths of an inch.
The Patent Regulator, when once adjusted, continues to furnish
Gas at one uniform pressure. unaltered by the constant fluctua-
tions of the street supply, and in its action is entirely independent
of the number of burners it supplies.
At the undermentioned Offices an Experimental room is fitted
up to demonstrate the results as above stated. The Regulator has
been thoroughly and practically tested at the numerous Railway
Man s,
Companies,
large Establishments, Public Institutions, and Private

GENERAL CANROBERT IN DENMARK.

The Moniteur of Sunday publishes the following, under
date of Copenhagen. November 27 :
General Canrobert was received yesterday at 4 o'clock in
a private audience by His Majesty the King of Denmark.
The General was taken to the Palace in one of the Court
carriages, in which was M. de Moltke, aide-de-camp of His
Majesty. More than 200 persons assembled in the court of
the hotel, and cheered him as he entered the Royal carriage.
The audience lasted for half an hour.

After the audience, Count de Bondy, Secretary of the Impe-
rial Legation, and Baron Duperre, commander of the Pelican
were presented to His Majesty by M. Dotezar, the French.
Minister.

At 5 o'clock the corps diplomatique (with the exception of
the Russian Chargé d'Affaires), the members of the Cabinet,
the high dignitaries' of the Crown, the commanders of the
army and navy, and the most eminent functionaries were
invited to the banquet given in honour of the General.
General Canrobert sat next to the King.
In the middle of the repast the King, who wore the insig-
nia of the Legion of Honour, proposed the health of his Ma-
jesty the Emperor, and at the same time the music struck up
the national air " Partant pour la Syrie."
In the evening the General attended a ball given by the
Landgrave William, in honour of the birth of his son. M.
Dotezar presented the Ambassador Extraordinary of the Em-
peror to the Royal family, all the members of which received
him most graciously.
To-day General Canrobert visits the military establishments
of the capital, accompanied by the Minister of War. His
Majesty has, it is said, signified his intention of doing the
honours of the arsenal himself. The General, after an audi-
ence of the Queen Dowager, will, it is said, attend, with the
members of the French Legation, a dinner given to his
honour by the heir-apparent, and will afterwards pass the
evening at Prince Christian's, of Denmark.

In bringing our notice of this great and exceedingly suc-
cessful modern Assurance Company to a close, we must not
omit to state that the Company owes much of its success to
the unwearied exertions, from first to last, of Mr. P. M. Dove,
its talented actuary and manager, who fostered and elaborated
the original conception with an ardour and a perseverance
rarely nlet with in dry matters of business and finance.

TO GAS CONSUMERS.

THE PATENT GAS REGULATOR insures a
saving of 25 per Cent. upon former consumption, while at
the same time a more brilliant light is obtained, and the un-
pleasant effects upon respiration, gilding, colours, &c., resulting
from the escape of unconsumed Gas, are, by a more perfect com-
bustion, avoided.
Gas is generally delivered from the Street Mains at a pressure
of inches of water, often reaching to 3 inches. Experiments
have demonstrated that when of good quality it is most economi-
cally burnt at a pressure of four-tenths of an inch.
The Patent Regulator, when once adjusted, continues to furnish
Gas at one uniform pressure, unaltered by the constant fluctua-
tions of the street supply, and in its action is entirely independent
of the number of burners it supplies.
At the undermentioned Offices an Experimental.room is fitted
up to demonstrate the results as above stated. The Regulator has
been thoroughly and practically tested at the numerous Railway
Companies, large Establishments, Public Institutions, and Private
Mansions, to which we ca
the best proof of its utility with pleasure and satisfaction refer as
3, and value.

RIJSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburgh, of -the 19th of November,
contains the following :—" There reigns at court here a dead
silence, and the Emperor is reputed to be extremely discou-
raged. It cannot be explained why, a few days ago, the Mi-
nister of War, Dolgoroukoff, summoned by telegraph, left for
Moscow, accompanied by his secretary and the director of
roads, Tschettkine. The reports were that it was intended to
fortify Moscow. That suffices to show how alarmed are the
minds here. Never was peace more desired, or were its neces-
sities more folly exposed to the eyes of the. Czar than in his
late journey to the south. Whenever deputations from the
different provinces were "allowed to approach him their lan-
guage was constantly pacific. At Moscow the nobility, whilst
protesting their profound devotedness, have drawn up with
the commercial classes a report which displays the ruin of
Russian commerce and industry. At Twer, a town which
promises to rival Moscow as the centre of industry, an incident
was communicated to his Majesty which must have caused
him to reflect. One of the greatest cotton-thread manufac-
tories of Twer, worked by Messrs. Kauline and Salasmi ne, in
1853, employed 44,000 spindles and 1,400 workmen. Since
the war it has not worked above 11,000 spindles, and has pro-
duced instead of 360 ponds (7,200 kilos), the 24 hours, only 86
pouds. This is a signal instance of the disastrous influence of
the war, as also of the efforts made by Russia to become an
industrial power. I will not speak to you of other manufac-
tories of Twer, such as Messrs. Meyer and Co. Twer appeared
destined to become the Lyons or Birmingham of Russia. Enor-
mous establishments had been erected for raising silkworms,
but to-day all are shut, and industry has vanished."
