THE VACANT IRISH JUDGESHIP.

The Daily _Express says :—" We believe we
may now state with certainty, that Mr. Deasy
has accepted the vacant seat upon the bench, and
consequently Mr. O'Hagan is Attorney-General.
The elevation of Mr. Deasy will cause an election
for the County Cork. Negotiations are said to
be on foot with a view to provide a seat in
Parliament for Mr. O'Hagan, and it is generally
believed Mr. 'M'Cann will resign the representa-
tion of Drogheda in his favour. Who is to bo
the new Solicitor-General is not decided."

SOUTH CAROLINA.—IMPORTANT
NOTIFICATION.
CHARLESTON, Jan. 12.

The State authorities have caused several ves-
sels to be sunk at the entrance to the ship chan-
nel, in order to prevent, it is supposed, the ingress
of armed vessels belonging to the Federal Govern-
ment of the United States. Consequently, for
the present, ships will be unable to go to sea by
this outlet. The swash, or middle, and tht maf-
fitt, or bed-channels, still remain open, by which
ships of not exceeding fourteen feet draught of
water can still get to sea.

The following appeared in our later editions of
yesterday :
STATE OF EUROPE.
The belief is assiduously cultivated in Paris
that the military preparations made in Prussia,
professedly on account of the difference with
Denmark, are in reality intended for a war with
France. Prussia and Austria, it is given out, are
on the eve of an anti-French alliance, and Saxony
and Bavaria will join.
A pamphlet is about to appear in Paris entitled
The
Prussia and the Treaties of Vienna."
Emperor is represented as the champion of
nationalities, and it gives the
King of Prussia
to understand that if he doesnot mind what he
is about, France may make war
upon him in the
grand Duchy of Posen.

THE OCEAN MARINE INSURANCE
COMPANY.
After deducting one-third for preliminary ex-
penses, besides all annual charges, the nett surplus
of the company for the first year of its operation is
L 75,478, of which £lO,OOO is recommendad to
be
applied as dividend on paid-up capital at rateeof 5 per cent., and the remainder carried against
the outstanding risks of the company.

STATE OF TRADE.
The accounts to the close of last weeen k are
decidedly less favourable. There is lesster-
prise, less actual business, an
hed less employment
for the labouring classes. T complaints a
yet more local than general, but some interests
are suffering rather severely: The cotton and
woollen trades are relativel in the best, but the
iron, silk, and hosiery are in n the worst positions.

principally Greek, in the
Levant trade. The reluctance to discount Greek
paper has contributed to the present suspensions.
It is stated that all the principal houses in the
trade have for some time been engaged in
strengthening themselves in preparation for the
difficulties which have now occurred.
The Daily News remarks that the present dis-
trust of a Greek paper is scarcely justified by the
_
statements of accounts put forward on behalf of
some of the houses that have lately stopped.
