A WINTER ODE.

"They made a graven image, and set it up on high ;
- And there it 'stands unto this day, to witness if I lie."
Macaulay.

Scime—Williamson-square.
Time—Any evening since Christmas.
The shadows of night were coming down swift,
And the dazzling snow lay drift on drift,
As thro' "the Square" a figure did go,
Carrying a flag with this motto,

O'er a ferehead pale came copious hair; Yrllow ho
His nose refrotah; cothplbxion fair;
O'er his tightish eye an auburn lash;
His chin Was close shaven, and no moustache.

Yellow ho !
Ire stealthily looked " the Square all round,"
To see if " a peeler" was there to be found.
At the big gas lamp he made a stop,
As if he meant placing the flag on the top.

Yellow ho

As Upwards he clambered, he thence did see
A number of families sitting at tea;
He eyed the dishes and plates tety keen)
To see if his " Yellow') was there to be seen.

Yellow ho !
"Oh! don't go up," said an old woman, " stop !
It's freezing 'like blazes' up there on t top,
You'll tumble off on t'other side ;"
But the spectacled stranger loud replied—

•` Yellow ho 2"

Oh! please don't go up such a shocking eight;
Come sleep on my box, said a cabbie bright ;
On his pallid cheek a tear-drop come, •
But still he remarked, as he upward clomb,
Yellow ho !
Look out for the branch of that high cross-tree,
Dodge falling ice if any you see.
Witk that "the Party" went home to bed,
And a sindlar voice replied overhead,

Yellow ho
At a quarter-past six that same afternoon,
An astronomer, taking a look at the moon,
Heard spoken above him, as often as twice,
The very same words, in a very weak voice,

Yellow ho !
When " the peeler" came round at a quarter past seven,
He was slow in "his beat," the road being uneven,
Found the stranger dead in the drifted snow,
Still clutching the flag with this motto—
Yes! lifeless, defunct, without any doubt, Yellow ho:
The "lamp of his being" decidedly out;
On the dreary flagstones " poor Kelly" was lying,
And 'twas no more use for him to be saying—
Yellow Butter ho!

RESURGAII!
All ye who lament the pbor'Kelly is lost,
Just call at the " Butter Place !"--look at his ghost !
He sits in the window, and looks safe and sound,
And will sell you some " Yellow " at Bd. the pound,
Yellow Butter ho !

FRIDAY, JANUARY, 25, 1861.

NEWS OF THE DAY.

Telegrams forwarded through Mr. Reuter's
agency, in advance of the China and India mails,
hitv e been received. The first instalment of the
indemnity has been paid, and all is going on
smoothly at Pekin. The weather has become
extremely cold, but the health of •the troops has
not suffered from that cause. Lord Elgin, in his
voyage to Japan, is acaompanied by Sir Hope
Grant, which looks like business. At Calcutta
the inhabitants had held a monster meeting to

piotest against tke excessiveness and unjustifiable
nature of the grant made by Sir Charles Wood to
tlre deicendants of the usurper and tyrant Tippoo
Saib.

It is not surprising to find that th enormous
military and naval preparations which are being
deaselestily pursued in France by the Imperial
Government, and the• menacing aspect of the
continent,,generally,.. has created- oonsiderable

uneasiness among the leading French merchants

and traders. Several deputations from matigae7,
titling towns have waited upon M. RoUher,
to ask for explanations as to the political

situation. • It is
.reported that the Minister
of CoMmeree told them that he hoped for the
maintenance of peace, but he was careful to.
add that this was only his personal opinion,
and that the country' would soon knovi what
turn events were likely to take by the Em-
'peror's speech, and the debate on the address.
Count de Persigny is alone supposed to be in the
-secret as to the Emperor's foreign policy for 'the
year; and the absence: of M. Theuvenel, the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, from _the_ imperial
consultations above alluded to, is much remarked
upon. It is understbod that the one greit injunc-
tion which such of thel.members of the Corps
Legislatif as may have consulted their constituents
have received from them, is to "keep the peace if
possible.", The Emperor's forthcoming speech at the
opening of the Lower Chamber on the 4th pros.,
is thualookedforward to with a full measure of
that eager curiosity and interest, which it is So
large a. feature in tho Napoleonie r'eyinze to excite.
Austria_ continues her complaints. _to Prince
Cbuza on account of the 'want of vigilance. of his
Government in preventing proceedings from
taking place in the'PrincipalitieS; w'iiieh are dan-
gerous to her safety. Complaints are also Made.
of the negligence of the Turkish and Rouman
authorities, in failing to keep watch for cargoes
of.arms which have lately ascended the Danube.
According to the TVanderer, Austria has signalled
to the Porte, in order that it may take ,Precau-
tions, the presence in the .Mediterranean of five
other vessels laden With armaments, including-an
English vessel, and a Greek, one.
. .
Letters from Turin state that the PrincesaClo-
thilde, whOse arrival there with Prince Napoleon
is expected in, a few days, will,probahly,pass the
winter in. the .capital.., The belief is that the
Prince is entrusted with some mission or secret
negotiation relative to, the evacuation of Rome.
Both the. government party. and what is called
the party of action in Italy seem to have their
attention diverted at present from Venice to
Rome. Some important stepis evidently expected
at an early date with regard to the latter city.
Francis 11. still holds
.out at Gaeta, spite of the
shot and shell of the Piedmontese. "If I fall,"
he has said, "my death will be,the most glorious
claim on the memory of posterity ; if I am taken,-
my honour will be safe, and I shall not have
"sacrificed the rights of my successors."
The Danish .Gevernment) in 'dontintiation of
their warlike •preparations, have ordered the
equipment. of a steam squadron of 22 vessels, and
a reserve force of 890 sailors to assemble on the
Ist of March. The Government" also dimottnees
that they are Willing to receiVe merehant captains
into the training school for the Royal service.
On Wednesday an important' educational con-
ference was held at Birmingham, at which Sir
John Pakington, M.P., presided, and there were
also present the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot,
Lord Lyttleton, Lord Ingestre, Mr. Hill, the
Recorder :Of :Birmingham,. Miss Carpenter, Mr,
AP., and other friends of education.
The object of the meeting was. to discuss the
question of, providing for the education of neg-
lected and destitute children, and to agitate for a
renewal of the GOvernnient grant for ragged
schools and other attiblishnients of that nature.
The Conference .was very fully attended, very
great interest being manifested in its proceedings.
The chief speakers were the chairman, Mr. Re-
corder Hill, Miss Carpenter, Dr. Guthrie of Edin-
burgh, and Lord Lyttleton. Resolutions, expres-
,
sive of the objects of the promoters of the Meeting,
were unanimously agreed to, including one to the
effeet that it was the duty of the State to give.
liberal gnat-idol aid to stich schools, availing itself
as in the caseof reformatories, of that voluntary
effort which is an essential condition of, our sac-

cess ; and a committee was appointed to carry

them into effect.

On the same day a public meeting, held at
Gloucester for the purpose of establishing t Rifle
ASSOciation for Gloucestershire, including the
cities of Gloucester and Bristol, at Which Earl
Ducie, the Lord Lieutenant, presided, was ad-
dressed by the Earl of Ellenborough and Mr.
lotheron Estcourt. The rules of the proposed
association, the main feature of which is an
occasional rifle contest for members of the corps,
and special prizes for all corners, were agreed to
amid loud cheers. Lord Ellenborough,
.in' the
course of his speech, observed, with reference to
the present political asnect of affairs on the Con-
tinent, that he could not believe there was in the
country any man who did not desire the per-
manence of the volunteer movement, for he
believed that on it depended the future security
of the country; and his lordship added that the
reasons were much greater now for desiring its
permanence than when it was first established.
It is remarked with reference to the attempted
explanation which we quoted yesterday from the
Times, with regard to the efflux of £3,000,000
gold to New York, and the effects it has produced,
that it has not been very satisfactory to those -,vho
have watched the current of events, and who
remember the predictions uttered by the same
authority. Gold has gone to this extent, and
the shipments which have been made have
realised a profit; and at present no parcels have
returned; as they did in 1857; unpacked, with the

loss of freight, insurance, &c. A considerable
portion of the amount has been absorbed in the
payment of cotton and breadstuffs, and though
the .money market at New York has been
put in a better condition in consequence of these
imports, still the balance of trade is against us.
The seriousness of the situation is tlOt yet wholly
averted; and much disposed as most people may
be to await quietly the issue of the question, the
fact that it arises from political agitation. of the
most dangerous character, and not from financial
disorganisation, ought to be carefully taken into
-consideration, As to the parties who have
shipped bullion, the list, it wassupposedi included
the principal American houses in London, Liver-
pool, and Manchester, but if other establishments
also have taken up these operations,• all that
can be said is, they appear to have been more
far-seeing than their neighbours.
The London Court of Bankruptcy, on Wednes-
day, was again occupied the entire day with the
great leather case of Laurence, Mortimore, and
Schrader. Mr. Karslake addressed the court, on
behalf of the assignees, at some length, and
expressed the satisfaction the assignees felt
at the manner in which the bankrupts had
conducted themselves since their bankruptcy.
Mr. Watkyn Williams, on behalf of the
London and Joint-stock Bank, the Bank of Lon-
don, and other opposing creditors, also made a
few observations upon the case, denouncing the
bankrupts as fraudulent traders, and calling on

the commissioner to refuse their certificates
entirely, and thereby prevent them from again
entering into commercial pursuits. Mr. Link-
later, on behalf of Messrs. Leyland and Bullen,
the Liverpool bankers, followed. He continued
his address yesterday, and was speaking at a late
hour in the afternoon.

`6,- meeting held in ioridod yesterday of' the
creditors of Messrs. L. Rodocanachi and Co.,
Greek merchants, who recently suspended, it was

explained that the direct liabilities in connection

with their houses in London, Liverpool, Marseilles,
Constantinople, Alexandria, and Cairo amount to
£101,750, and that the assets to be depended upon
amount to upwards of £133,000. It was resolved
that the firm shall continue to liquidate the estate.
Meanwhile they will communicate with their
partners abroad, so as to be enabled to fix specific
periods for the payment of the liabilities in full.
A further meeting will be held early in March.
It will be observed that Mrs. Ityves, who lays
claim to the succession of the late Duke of
Cumberland, has succeeded in making out her
case before the Judge Ordinary of the Court of
Probate and Divorce, and has been declared
legitimate.

WILL THE AMERICAN .UNION YET HOLD

TOGETHER?

BY the Kangaroo, which arrived at Queenstown
yesterday afternoon, we have advices from New
York down to the 12th instant, but they have
been partially anticipated.
• Notwithstanding the :daily increase of strength
which the secession movement among the
Southern States was receiving, and in spite of the
inhabitants of some of these StateS having had
recourse to open hostility and to defiance of the.
Central Oovernment, the chances of union being
preserved, or rather restored; were not, according
to the views of the New York Herald of 'Jan.
Bth, by any means desperate. That journal'
declared that it regarded the indications in behalf
of conciliation and compromise involved in , cer-
tain political movements,' directly. bearing upon
the policy of the incoming administration, as
justifying the opinion thatthe Union would yet bo,
saved.

It based its hopes of the realisation of this
desirable consummation chiefly on the choice
made by the President elect of his advisers; and
stated that. "extraordinary and even incredible
as it may appear to many of our intelligent
readers," it was to be inferred from the two well
authenticated appointments of Mr. SEWARD and
,of,General CAMERON, that the door was open to a
treaty of peace. It was thought that although the
republican party in Congress, and its leaders and
public journals in the States, with one exception
have manifested no disposition to yield an inch
of ground on the slavery issue, even to preserve
the Union, that that party only was waiting for
a sign from Springfield, while Mr. LINCOLN had
been taking the soundings of his -friends, and as
this gentleman had, after carefully considering
his ground, appointed Mr. SEWARD his Secretary
of State, that appointment, under the circum-
stances controlling it, taken in connection with
the appointment of Mr. CAMERON, was 'equivalent
almost to the proclamation of a compromise from
the President elect and the republican party to
the American people.
Mr. SEWARD was to be the " Sir ROBERT PEEL"
of this compromises He not only " understands
the cards of the politician, but the necessities of
the statesman, as is proved from his late Astor
House speech, which, while no doubt carefully
studied, though apparently impromptu, shows him
to be clearly and broadly in favour of a compro-
mise with the South." As to Cietieral CAMERON,
he was described as universally known as a Repub-
lican Conservative, entirely 'untrammelled by
party principles or platforms, when' great expe-
diences of government policy are at stake ; and it
was observed that no Cabinet selections could be
made within the lines of the Republican camp
better calculated to assure the South of the Con-
servative leanings of Mr. LINCOLN than his
selection of the latter gentleman. Hence, there-
fore, under the guidance of a Cabinet so inspired
and adieised, the conciliation of the South was to be
confidently calculated on through the action of
the Republican party in Congress, in advance, of
Mr. LINCOLN'S arrangement.
A long string of reasons were given by the
Herald why the. Republican party in congress
should have no hesitation in agreeing to such a
compromise, more especiallyas it was fully expected
that, in the absence of the adoption of the policy
of conciliation recommended, .the revolutionary
action of South Carolina would, before the
4th of March, be followed by the whole of the
remaining States of the South.

. ,

, All these sanguine visions have, however, been
rudely dispelled by the accounts received by the
present arrival. We now learn that coercion,
and not compromise, is to be the policy of the
new President j and that the Legislature at
Washington has all but unanimously adopted
resolutions agreeing to vote whatever aid in men
arid money may be required by the executive to
uphold the authority of the Federal Government,
while on the other hand the project of a Southern
confederacy continues to meet with increasing
favour in Texas and other States.

At a recent meeting of the Virginia Legis-
latureg the following resolution was agreed to by
a majority of 112 to s:

Resolved, by the General Assetbly of Virginia, that
the union being formed by the assent of the States
respectively, and being consistent only with freedonr
And the republican institutions guaranteed to each, can-
not and ought not to be maintained by force; that the
government of the Union has no power to declare or
make war against any of, the States Which have been its
constituent members; that when any one or more of the
States has determined, or shall determine, under existing
circumstances, to withdraw from the 'Union, we are
Unalterably opposed to any attempt on the part of the
federal government' to coerce the same into reunion or
submission, and that we will resist the same by all the
means in our power.

That resolution formed the subject of another
article in the iierald, which concluded as fol-
lows :—" What Virginia ought to do, and what
all the slave States ought to, do, is to call a con-
vention of the united South, which will agree
upon a reasonable ultimatum to be' presented
to the North for acceptance. If it. should be
accepted, as we know it would be, the quar-
rel' s- ended without a blow -if it -ahould not,
the
,South will then be in a better position to
_enforce, her rights by the last - resort the
arbitrament of the sword—if the North will not
consent to a peaceable separation. In the one
ease, having exhausted all other means of obtain-
ing redress, she would be completely united in
war, and thus become unconquerable. In the
other 'event, she would enter upon the struggle
with divided. counsels, irresolution, and even the
disaffection and defection of her own sons.
United, the Southern States stand—divided, they
fall,"

There was certaitily some reason in such a pro-
position, but the advice Was, tinfOittlilaiely, .not
addressed to reasonable people. The .chanced of
a division among the seceding States predominate
. ,
more than ever over those in favour of United
action, and if it should so turn out; the triumph
Of the North will be decisive and complete, and
the institution of slavery in America is also from
that moment doomed, no. matter at what cost.

"EASTWARD Ho," AND "HOME AGAIN."—The names
given to two companion pictures, by Henry O'Neil,
R.A., and which are now exhibiting at Griffiths' Rooms,
Church-street, by Messrs. Lleyd and Co. The subject
of 'the departure Eastward and the Return, afford good
seope for the display of genius, and ',Mr. O'Neil has put
on canvass matter that will remain with his, name, when
more pretentious persons shall have been forgotten. .He
is not only a painter, but an anatomist, for, every,line in
tbe'figurEs may stand the dissecting knife of all criticism.
We have never seen so many figures grouped into a like
space, and all so natural too. The colouring is not over-
strained, and one's sympathy is instantly attracted
to the faces, which betokens love, grief, and all
the other passions and feelings incident to the departUre
and separation of friends and relatives. The return is
equally good, and we could gaze on these noble con-
ceptions and their brilliant execution, for hours, and
still find some new beauty in every detail. The story
told by these noble paintings is full of interest and the
romance of real life. The figures are graceful and'
ndtural, and the emotions of the hurrian mind can
almost be detected in the faces. To say more would be
anticipating a pleasure that all who look on these pic-
tures must feel. We would advise all art admirers to
look at these pictures.
