LIVERPOOL,
Has much pleasure in informing his many kind Friends and
the Public that ho has just added to his well known splendid
STOCK of JEWELLERY,
SILVER AND ELECTRO-PLATE,
WATCHES, DINING AND DRAWING-ROOM CLOCKS,
DRESSING CASES, WORK-BOXES; AND DESKS,
CUTLERY, AND FANCY ARTICLES
too numerous to mention, the following choice specimens of
art and workmanship, viz:—
The Largest and Finest Assortment of
CORAL BROOCHES, BRACELETS, NECKLETS, HEAD
ORNAMENTS, EARRINGS, STUDS, PINS, &c., &c.,
ever imported into Liverpool ; together with
Some very Choice Specimens of
ONYX AND SHELL CAMEOS, ENAMELS, &c.,
all at extremely moderate prices, His celebrated Stock o f
FIRST-CLASS ALUMINIUM GOODS,
has also been re-assorted, and will be found very complete in
all its branches.
F. W. P. would call particular attention to his Stock of
JET AND BOG OAK ORNAMENTS,
which he can confidently state is the handsomest and largest
out of London.
The entire success which has attended the opening of F. W.
Promoli's New Establishment, has induced him to spare no
exertion or cost to meet the tastes and requirements of his
many liberal friends and supporters, and therefore every
novelty of the seasons is added to his usually very choice
stock. The economical plan on which his establishment is
conducted, and the advantage he derives from
CASH PAYMENTS,
together with his long experience in business and connection
with Liverpool, will, he trusts, be a sure guarantee that a
very moderate 4rofit will be charged on all his goods.
A :Manufactory for Jewellery, &c., is attached to the
Establishment, thereby ensuring Punctuality and Economy in
all Orders and Repairs.

NEWS OF THE DAY.

Through Mr. Beuter's agency we have some addi-
tional telegrams, anticipatory of the accounts of the all-
absorbing intelligence from China, now on their Way to
London from • Marseilles. The surrender of Pekin is
confirmed, the Chinese yielding to all the demands of
the allies, and intimating that the indemnity was
ready when demanded. The Tartar army has accom-
panied or followed the treacherous and craven Enipernr
in his flight, and in Pekin no enemy was to be seen.
We have likewise some dates which were wanting in the
Foreign-office telegram, published by us yesterday. The
sacking,of the Imperial Palace took place on the 6th of
October, but the giving up of the gates, and surrender
of the capital, did not take place till a week later,—no
great interval, certainly, when it is considered that
Pekin is believed to contain four millions of human
beings; but quite sufficient to afford a very wide field
for the exercise of the imagination iu filling up the gap
which our present scanty intelligence has thus left vacant,
The latest news regarding Mr. Brabazon and Mr. Boulby
is, we deeply grieve to observe, most distressing.. we
are told that there is little hope of their return, or of the
restoration of the French officers who are also missing.
Thirteen soldiers, who were probably seized by the
Tartars at the same time, have, however, been released;
and in addition to the valuable lives of Mr. Parkes and
Mr. Loch, that of Lieutenant Esehayrac has also been
spared by the treacherous captors.
It is satisfactory to learn that the health of the troops,
amplePekinaccommodation for
itself, continues

that before it, of which the hazard and importance only,
and not the nature or extent, can alone be at present
known and felt by the chiefs, is to winter in the capital
and the neighbourhood. Hitherto, the allied armies
seem to have had no difficulty whatever in maintaining
their communications with the river and the allied fleet.
Already the sound of a new and distinct rebellion)
headed by parties of influence in the country, has been
heard at Shanghai, which is, no doubt, merely the fore-
runner of manyother similar risings; and its importance

cannot, perhaps, be better estimated than by the fact
that, it seems to have swallowed up the former one,
known as the Taipeng rebellion. But until the arrival
of the mail with full particulars of the actual state of
affairs at Pekin and elsewhere within the circuit of
European knowledge, it would be presumptuous to specu-
late further on the future course of events. All we at
present know is that China is in our hands. Its ruler
has fled, leaving in charge that mysterious body the
" Tribunal of Rites," which is to endeavour to come to
an understanding with the "barbarians" if possible.
That tribunal is, or was, the highest constituted autho-
rity in the State. Its decisions in certain questions
overruled those of the Emperor himself; but it will now
probably be overruled by a successful rebellion in its
turn. To what a marvellous chapter in the history of
the Eastern world is Europe about to be introduced
From Australia we learn that Mr: Sturt's expedition
into the interior had been driven bask by the natives,
but not until the territory e*plored had been found to
be rich and fruitful.
The New Zealand news is still unsatisfactory.
The :Arationalitijs of Turin publishes the following
proclamation by Garibaldi: It is evidentlL intended as
a hint to the Mazzinians, who try to stir up di sensions :
" Italy and Victor Emmanuel I The Italians must not
on any account abandon this programme: Victor
Emmanuel is the only indispensable man in Italy,
around whom all the men of our peninsula must rally.
I do not care whether the minister's name be Com or
Oattaneo (the latter preferable) but what I sate fbr,
and *hat all Italians iintst ineiorably derdand, is, that on
thb 6th of March, 18d1, Victor Eniniantiel he at the head
of 506,000 soIdiers.—GARIBALDI."
The iteralire Naples correspondent intimates that an

CaVoiir is playing into the hands of rian66) didd tlidt
Muratism is in the ascendant. The overbearing conduct
of the Sardinians tends, it is said, to produce an ill-
feeling in the newly-conquered territory. All this may
for the present be true enough, seeing that the country
is in a transition state. The same fact may account for
the numerous robberies and general disorders which are
now taking plate:

to tell on dividends.

The Oet-Deutsche Post of Vienna energetically op-
poses the preposition to sell Venetia. Austria, it says,
does hot merely defend Venetia on the Minch); but all
the l, territories *ha foinieklj, belonged to the fepttblie
of Venice; the poitS oil ihb east; and Stitithern Tyrol

attention of Victor Emmanuel. "The proposition,"
adds the Ost-Deutsche Post, "which England makes to us
to sell Venetia is an abominable snare. In listening to
it, Austria would lose all moral consideration, and
advantage would after Wards be taken of her degradation
to kefiise eten the price ()tiered. She would at the
Bathe time lose Both her territory add her rilettey:';
A telegram from Viennaannounces that M. de Schmer-
ling, a Liberal, has been appointed Minister of State.
The Progres of Vienna, previously received, had the
following :—" We believe we may express with con-
nonce the hope that the Gazette de Vienna will shortly
give a .new proof of the firm resolve of Austria to
tidtance in the path which it entered by the Imperial
decrees of the 20th of October. This new pledge will
be given by the nomination of M. de Schmerling as
Minister of State. We learn, in fact, that the Council
of Ministers adopted in a recent sitting the programme
devised by M. de Schmerling as to the internal develop-
ifient df Attstild, and that, consequently, this statesman
will enter the Mihistfyg" According to the alogne
Gazette, the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin have agreed
to take energetic measures against Denmark, in order to
Ming the Schlesing-holstein question to a point without
further delay.

PliO Cotint ApPonyi has been appoirited Ambassador
of Austria at this Court, dud it is tiuderstdOd that as
soon as the fall of Gaeta has left the continent of Italy
free from the Bourbon army, the Count D'Azeglio will

present his credentials as Ambassador of Italy. There
is reason to believe that Lord Napier, at present Envoy
Eitradtdinari and Minister Plenipotentiary at the
Hague, will shortly proceed to St. letersburg, at which
Court he has been appointed Ambassador.
A supplementary report of the South Australian Com-
pany, to be presented on the 14th inst., embraces the

Mr. Giles, the manager in South Australia, will retire,
on account of age and infirmities, on. the Ist of January,
and is td be succeeded by Mr. Brind.

Mr. It. Ttiel‘er, ,tht(sistrute for the county of Berks,
has lately'eMPlOyed two persons---Ahe relieving officers
of the Farringdon Union—to visit every town and tillage
in the union, in order to obtain exact information as to
the aCeoininedaiion and number of inmates in every
oottage. Their reports are full of horrors. In no fewer
than ten of the cases the occupiers of these wretched

children receive a supeniiimery inmate into their miser-
able apartment, while of one village it is said generally
that; though the families are all large, and the single

eiample. produced seems to pass the limits df

hope this is a mistake.

It is proposed to hold iii the tolfri of Birmingham, on
the 23rd of January, a conference on the measures to
be taken for the relief of children who are not as yet
either eriminals or paupers, but whose natural guardians
will not, or cannot, protide for their education. It is
the object of the conference to lay befate the executive
government and the legislature, as a consequence of the
principle above stated, the imperative duty of its pro-
viding education for this portion of the community..
At her Majesty's Theatre do eattirday night, at the
conclusion of the first act of the performance, a gentle,
man connected with the theatre came on the stage and
read to the audiente the important telegram from China,
which was fedeiied (hiring the afternoon, and which we
published yesterday. The news called forth loud and
general applause.

thousand copies are to be given out, of which 16,000
will be for London, and the remainder for Dublin,
Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, &c.
Postal arrangements have been made which will
reduce the price of a letter between Naples and England

route, having been franked in London to the amount of.
2d. each, will arrive at Naples free of any other charge.

The Treasury have decided to issue the Delhi and
Lucknow prize money according to the Crimean scale,
instead of on the Indian scale, as was expected. The
decision will create discontent.
The nomination of candidates for the Southwark
vacancy took place yesterday forenoon. Mr. Faucett
having retired, that which was formerly a triangular duel
between three candidates who indulged in no end of
personalities, the one against the other, is now narrowed
to a fierce contest between Layard and Scobell. The
show of hands was declared to be greatly in favour of
the former.
