is the one condition of peace. Any state willing to
return to the Union should be received at once with
full constitutional rights.

been held in this city.
Grant has written a letter asserting that the
Confederates have in their ranks their last man,

WHEN ARE SPECTACLES REQUIRED?
This query In worthy consideration by every one anxious

certainty of preserving clear vision to the end of life. When its
deficiency is determined a nicety of discrimination moat be used
in adapting lenses of the exact power that will supply the lee, or
irreparable injury will mutt. Optical quacks. like medical qui, Its,

of Thomas Harris and Son ,establiebedl7so', opposite the British
Museuedgate, London, having 'pectin, attended to the manu-
facture of spectacle.. are competent to advise on all that per-

of Commerce and Navigation with France wee
continued.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs pointed out the
utility and practical value of the concessions made
and obtained. The treaty is the consequence of
the policy inaugurated by the alliance with France ;
and is, in the second place, the inauguration of a
new commercial system.
The treaty was adopted by 70 votes to 8.

FLORENCE, JAN. 6.

The following summary of the Tuscan bishops,
which the Nazione draws from authentic sources,
may not be uinteresticg to your readers.
Tuscany, like Ireland twenty years ago, rejoices
in the possession of four archbishops. It has also
nineteen bishops. Perhaps should the Pope and
the King, between them, fail to provide for the
replenishing of some of these episcopal thrones, the
nation may be able to survive the loss :

Archbishop of Piss. Francs 117,000

Bishop of Groreto

To 4•1 ..laeas 614,201

This sum, equivalent to about 24,0001. a year
English money, may not seem exorbitant for the
maintenance of 23 prelates. Nevertheless, accord-
ing to the economy of TUMID living, an average of
above 1,0001. a year for single men permits every
possible luxury, and when the Florentines behold
their archbishop (as I happened to do the other',
day) driving from the Duomo with his three foot-
men clinging behind his vulgarly bedizened camsge,
they may possibly think the national funds, in the
present state of affairs, might be better dispensed.
600,000 franca was precisely the sum allotted last
year by the government in aid of the commercial
elementary schools throughout the whole of Italy.
I have ueard it stated that the above calcu-
lation of the incomes of the Tuscan bishops is
considerably below the mark ; the actual revenues
of their lands having so far increased in value of
late years as in some cases to have doubled the
taxed rental above mentioned. On this matter I
have no means of forming an opinion.

COTTON SUPPLY' ASSOCIATION.

At the usual weekly meeting of the Executive
Committee, held on Tuesday. a letter was mad from
Gibraltar. explaining the writer's intention to eater largely
into the cultivation of cotton in Spain, and his movies
hopes of success. Enough has been done to prove that
it *MD be grows with profit. At one tires there was a con-
Sidetitide quantity produced, which paid the cultivators
well, when they sold it at RI& 2 per Ib. (about 5d.), the price
is now 12 per lb. The cultivation was stopped in come-
quanta of sugar offering better results, but toes cotton was
only one-sixth of its present value. It is intended to
plant a variety of seeds for the purpose of ascertaining
which will answer best. A letter was received from the
honorary agent. of the association at Bombay, forwarding an
approximate statement of the export of cotton from Bushire
to Bombay, extracted from a goverment circular, viz.:
October to May, 1862-63. 10,000 belga 200.000 tabrez.
moods of 711 b. ; value, Re. 530,000. October to May,
1863-64. 12,000 bales, 240,000 taken. maunds of 71 lb.;
value, Rs. 810,000. The cottou comes from lipase, Yezo,
Shiraz, and the country around Buskire. Although there
Ira been an increased area planted the quantity procurable
from export will not be much greater, owing to tbe balance
of former years having all been bought up during
last mama. A letter was read from the Haitian
minister in London, eanlosieg a despatch from his govern-
ment demiliegthe measures adopted toexteedtbscaltivatioa
of cottee in Haiti. During the last five years the qmatity ex.
ported has increased from 938,0:61b. in 185 J, to upwards of
2,000,0001 b. in 1833. Instead of only two ports expecting
cotton as at the former period, the number is new tight.
Experiments on a line scale with various kinds et seed—
Sea Island, Egyptian, Brazilian, and Americas—all appear to
do well, hutch° American seems specially to deserve mem-
moment. About 90 per cent. of the cotton exported from
Haiti is the indigeticm, which has been successfully culti-
vated. The government is defog everything in its
power to encourage and extend the growth of
cotton. Gins have been procured; chiefly from America,
but more are still needed. Special facilities would be
afforded to any English company disposed to eater into the
cultivation of cotton. large tracts of tied might be issily
obtained, and it is believed that the most satisfactory results
would be realised. A letter was received giving a very en-
couraging account of the progress of cotton cultivation is
Jamaica, sad a sample grown there was submitted for exa-
mination. and valued at 28d. to 29d. per lb. A letter was
received describing the cotton-growing capabilities of the
colony of Victor* sad a empty of seed was granted to the
occupier of a quautity of Vermin load near Castlemaine.
Vitiate grub of seed were also made, which concluded the
baleen of the meetieg.

IRONMASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETING.

ceders having been gives out both prior to and oboe the
preliminar► meeting. Amongst the members of the
trade the tone was less buoyant than it was tiro
or three weeks ago ; at the same time it nut
be stated that prices are well maintained. and that
at some of the works they are so fall that they could not
take more orders, unless small ogee for regular customers,
for the remainder of the quarter. So far thexispect of the
trade is healthy, and there seems to be s fair prospect of
this being maintained for a time, especially is good shipping
ordain are s en of with confidence as the spring advances.
The d has bees brisk of late for all descriptiosis of
finished iron, for plates and sheets it is increasing. The
firma who do leanness to America are well supplied with
orders for that quarter. and recent advises speak of the cer.
tasty of this being maintained for a time, as the markets
are all bare of stock. Sales of pig iron, all mine
Staffordshire, were reported yesterday at 41. 10e.
some makers quote as high ss V. 12s. rid. ;
others 4/. 15s. Cold•bhut is at 51. 10s. to 51. 12s. fid.
The Shropshire irounmaten reported trade brisk in that
locality. The scarcity of coal is its much felt there as it i. in
South Staffordshire, and the price is to be again advanced.
The state of trade at this moment is such as to suggest to
all who are engaged in it and who have scything to lose the
necessity of caution ; the recollection of what took place
prior to the disastrous failures of 1857 and 1858 ought not to
have passed away, but should have taught a useful lesson
which may be profited by sooner or later. The clue of
perilous who ruined others by their failures and reaped •
harvest for themselves are again upon the scene contracting
heavy eagegementa and ready to enter upon or extend
works ; in these circumstances, a word of caution as to this
class cannot be ➢ll•timed, and may not be without its use.

Clarendon has explained to Count Hochberg the
necessity for bringing the peace negotiations to a
speedy issue. He also advocated the early
inauguration of the rule of the Duke of
Augustenberg, who would be recognised
by England. Earl Clarendon further ex-
plained that the Italian question urgently re-
quired a solution, and that should Austria form a
northern alliance to oppose the latest movement of
the Franco-Italian policy, England would not co-
operate with her, although the latter was ready to
support Austria should she lean towards the policy
of the Western Powers.

"On the first announcement of the Franco-Italian
convention the universal sentiment was one
of sincere satisfaction, but, on learning the con-
ditions of the transfer of the capital, the people re-
membered the vote of the parliament proclaiming
Rome as the capital of Italy. For the Turinese, as
for the inhabitant/ of many other towns in Italy
and abroad, the transfer of the capital signifies the
renunciation of Rome. The Turinese have for a
long time past sacrificed their material interests for
the idea of Rome as the capital."
A popular meeting has been held at Turin, at

ing identical sentiments with those of the above
address.

AUSTRIA.

A communication from Vienna of the 21st says :
The promiedinp of the government In Hungary cause
greet stupefaction and deep consternation in this city.
Every one asks himself to what all thane rigours n ill lead.
and whether the whole empire will not feel the effect of
those deplorable event,. Many persona suppose that all
that is taking place has been skilfully prepared by the
Austrian police, in order to have a pretext to lay hands on
suspected persons, and to justify the reaction which the
government is said to have an Intention of making. Every-
-0134) calls to mind the proceedings of the retrograde party,
which has been seeking to undermine the constitution ever
since it has existed, and who do not allow any opportunity
to escape of attacking it, either openly or in a roundabout
manner, according to circnoistatioss. In a word, a belief is
entertained that a conspiracy exists, not at Path, but at
Vienna, and pave events, such as the state of siege, are
expected.
Another Vienna letter has the following :

The oedema coafersuce, which is to meet at Prague to
concert the bases of an agreement far bringing Austria into
the Pruso.Gorman Zollverein, greatly occupies the public
prem. lam able to give you a few particulars which con-
cern the Austrian Government. The conference of Prague
has only • preliminary character. The delegates for the
purpose are Baron Hock, from Vienna, and M. Hainelbachi
from Berlin. These gentlemen, who are specially versed in
what coacerns the customs, are charged to devise mesas
for embodiment the Austrian proposition of July, 1862,
and the tariff of the France-Prussian treaty of 20th August,
1862, The preparatory conference ha. beep chiefly brought
about by the reiterated instaaess of the principal
states of the Zoliverein, which use anxious that Austria
mod Prussia should come to a direct understanding. In
ease s basis should be agreed on, the negotiations properly
so called will commence between Austria, on the one head,
sad the three goverment' delegated ad toe by the Zoller-
rein, Prussia, Bavaria, and Saxony, on the other. The
first object will be to bring the Frump-Prussian tariff into
accord with the new Austrian tariff proposed in November,
1863. Opposition sod complaints are to be expected on the
part of certain manufacturers, who would much rather re-
main at their ease coder the prohibitory system ; bat the
