CORN EXCHANGE—Since our last report, a very moderate
supply of English wheat has been received, coastwise and by
land carriage; nevertheless, the demand for all kinds has con-
tinued extremely inactive, at about stationary prices. The show
of foreign wheat has been seasonably extensive. Good and
fine parcels have been sold at full quotations; but the inquiry
has been wholly confined to limited quantities, at late rates. In
floating cargoes of grain, very few transactions have been re-
ported. Fine malting barley bas sold without difficulty on
former terms ; but grinding and distilling sorts have commanded
very little attention. No change ban taken place in the
value of Malt. Oats, though in short supply, have moved off
slowly, at late rates. Beans, peas, and flour have continued dull,
but we have no change to notice in their value).

ENGLISH—Wheat. Essex and Kent red, 42a to 198; white,
438 to 558; Norfolk and Lincoln red, 40a to 48e. Malting barley,

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.—The exuberance
of the feelings amid scenes of gaiety induces the fair and
youthful to shine to advantage under the gaze of many friends,
and therefore to devote increased attention to the duties of the
Toilet. It is at this festive season that ROWLANDS' AUXI-
LIARIES of HEALTH and BEAUTY are more than usually
essential.—ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL, for imparting a
transcendent lustre to the hair, and sustaining it iu decorative
charm.—ROWLANDS' KALYDOR imparts a radiant bloom to
the cheek, and a delicacy and softness to the hands, arms, and
neck; and ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or Pearl Dentritice, be-

that occasion) for his considerate conduct in return-
ing the letters of the lady, and not openly exposing
her breach of faith. " When he was off with one
lady he took up with another," said the distinguished
Pole last Monday at the Court of Exchequer. But
happily he has been caught at last. A lady of rank
who had imprudently fallen into the Woszkowski
trap, and had lent him 1001., had the courage, upon
discovering the real character of the fellow, to bring
an action against him fox the money lent. As a set
off, the Pole pleaded that he had spent the money
in fitting himself out for the wedding, and among
other things in redeeming his watch and chain from
the pawnbroker. The Chief Baron, after hearing
the evidence, refused to entertain this plea, and the
jury immediately founi a verdict for the plaintiff.
London, England, 1857-12-26

No one can deny that the predominant senti-
ment of the community is at this moment Con-
servative. Liberalism is more loudly talked, but
Conservative principles are more deeply felt.
Men will always be found to prolong particular
views, as an echo prolongs the voice, long
after the reality has perished. This truth
may be illustrated from the history of both
the great political parties of this kingdom.
The same men who had carried us through
the great French war, when every breath of
innovation was redolent of murder and rapine,
very naturally committed the mistake of con-
fusing Reform with Revolution. They con-
tinued for a dozen years after the Peace to
talk the language which was equally patriotic
and popular at the beginning of the century,
but which then had become inapplicable to
the period, and failed to secure the permanent
support of the public. In like manner have
the Liberals continued to occupy the posts of
Government long after the nation has ceased to
wish for any organic changes, and when their
language on the subject of Reform has become far
more unreal than that of the old Tories on Re-
striction. The latter had something to defend, at
all events. They had a definite object to fight
for, and if they had outlived their political
necessity, retained their individual convic-
tions. This made them respected, and gave
thorn, situated as they were in many respects
l►ke the Liberals of to-day, a moral strength
to which the latter can never pretend.
Englishmen acquiesce in the existing Par-
liament because they cannot get rid of it, and
because it is their own fault. They E lected in
haste, and they repent at leisure. But, into
whatever society a man may go, he cannot
avoid perceiving that the present Govern-
ment in connection with Reform is usually a
subject of derision, and in connection with
India of grave and anxious distrust. The
one, in fact, is the result of the other. Go-
vernment feels itself in a false position, as
the representative of Liberalism ; and the
little masculine energy it might otherwise
have displayed is paralysed by this fatal con-
sciousness. Liberals believe Lord PALM E RS-
TON to be a Tory. Tories suspect him to be
nothing. All his colleagues are of the same
nondescript character—men belonging to a
past school of statesmanship—men who had
not stamina to endure the political shocks of
recent years—whose convictions have been
entirely unsettled—who have drifted away
from their moorings, and will take " any port"
in the "storm."
Men who feel themselves in such a position
as this lose all heart, vigour, and eloquence.
They have no standard of right and wrong.
Every thing for them is in a flux. What they
denounce to-day they may be obliged to advo-
cate to morrow. They cannot, therefore, rise
above acute special pleading. They can never
reach those heights of oratory which witness
the union of reason and imagination.

of lenling on such security, if he is
anxious to do so. But, so far as he merely
issues notes on the deposit with the State of
Government securities to the full amount of the
Motes he receives, he does not thus avail him-
self either of his special command of his cu s-
tomers' money, or of his special knowledge of
the value of securities : he merely deposits one
kind of property with the State, and receives an
equivalent in a more easily divisible property.
He deposits the full value reckoned in bullion,
and receives a right to issue promises to pay
in bullion. He does not therefore add to the
demanding power of the community as he does
in lending his depositors' money on discount
to a borrower, because the property on which
he receives his notes has a known and gua-
ranteed value, and remains in hand as a pledge
till the notes issued upon it are restored. Any
possessor of such property could at any time
exchange it for the value, or more than the
value, of the notes received on it, and the ex-
change, therefore, is one of mere convenience .
But the ordinary business of a banker—the
use he makes of his deposits—is not of
this nature ; it is a real addition to the
demanding power of the community ;—whe-
ther an artificial or natural addition, de-
pends of course on the prudence with which
he acts. Hence it is clear that, while the ordi•
nary discount-business of a banker may, and
often does, give a false stimulus to trade, the
mere note circulation, under the wise limitations
we have supposed, is just the element which
cannot give this false stimulus. And any one
who will look at the account of note circula-
tion and the specie returns of the New York
banks for the last year, will see how utterly
absurd it is to attribute the recent crisis to
that cause.

The nomination of Mr. Tindal having been with-
drawn, a show of hands was taken between the other
two candidates, which the high sheriff declared to be
in favour of Captain Hamilton. A poll was de-
manded on behalf of Mr. Cavendish, which will take

a vote of thanks to the high sheriff.

Emit( BURGHS.-Mr. Grant Duff was returned
for this district of burghs without any opposition
on Saturday. Up to the morning of the election
(says the Elgin Courier) a contest was deemed
certain, and a good deal of excitement prevailed in
Elgin. In the course of Friday evening, however,
Sir James Hogg made up his mini to withdraw, and
an intimation to this effect was formally made to
Mr. Grant Duff. The new member's speech after
his election was chiefly confined to local matters.
Dr. Paul, who proposed the hon. member on the
hustings, said he was fully satisfied that Mr. Duff
was " a thorough-going Liberal—one in whom there
would not be the slightest risk of your confidence
and trust be►ng misplaced—one on whom, were her
Majesty's present Ministers placed in any danger by
adverse circumstances, you could absolutely depend
for support in every proper and constitutional war."

Intelligence has reached Vienna of the death of
Iskender Pacha, who had distinguished himself in

is a brief sketch of his career, which since the days
of Scanderbeg has not been surpassed in daring
action :

He was born in Bessarabia in ; his name being
Count Ilinaki. Obliged to leave his country on account of
complicity in political plots, be served on the constitutional
side in the civil wars of Portugal and Spain, and ob-
tained decorations. He afterwards went to Algeria, then
to Herat, and afterwards to China, serving in all three
places in a military capacity. He afterwards returned
to Algeria, and, accepting service from the French, distin-
guished himself in the operations against Abd-el-Kader, and
gained the cross of the Legion of Honour. In 1848 and
11.449 he fought with distinction in Hungary. He then
went to Turkey and entered the service of the Porte. He
took part with Omer Nebo in the expedition against
Montenegro. He distinguished himself on the breaking
out of the war with Russia, but was soon wounded, and.
was kept for some time inactive. Subsequently he orga-
uised the Bashi•llszouka, and recently accompanied Omer
Pacha as stated above.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE

We learn by telegraph from Trieste, Dec. 24th
that intelligence has been received from Constanti-
nople to the 17th. A note, addressed by M. Boute-
nieff to the Porte, declares that the occupation of
Perim by the English is contrary to the integrity of
the Turkish territory. The commission appointed
to examine the consolidation of the home debt is
engaged in devising measures to lessen the effects of
the financial crisis.

AUSTRIA.

The Austrian Government is much impressed
with the threatening aspect of the Swiss ques-
tion, and will leave no means untried to avert a
war. With this object in view several long and
serious conferences have been held within the last
day or two between the Imperial Minister, Count
Buol, and Count Arnim, the Prussian Ambassador at
Vienna. It is believed that Austria proposes a con-
ference to be held at London, in which Switzerland
is to be represented.
A division of 10,000 troops has been ordered up to
the frontier at Bregentz on Lake Constance.
The Emperor has decided upon visiting Milan.
His Majesty was expected there by the 7th. Field-
Marshal Itadetzky, it is believed, has been relieved of
his arduous duties as commander-in-chief by the
Archduke Ferdinand.
PRUSSIA AND SWITZERLAND.

The mobilisation of the Prussian army has been
postponed from the 2nd to the sth, and is believed
will be further postponed until the 15th, the day
originally fixed as the extreme term the Prussian
Government will wait for compliance with its
demands on the part of Switzerland. Meanwhile,
every preparation for a campaign is being made. The
demand for a passage for the Prussian army through
Wurtemburg had not been refused by the Govern-
ment of Wurtemburg, on the ground of its being
a " political intrusion." A recommendation to that
effect was made by the Deputies to the Government,
but was not complied with, though petitions
are pouring in in support of the recommendation.
It is generally believed that, should Prussia invade
Switzerland, Austria and France would immediately
occupy their neighbouring cantons.
A letter from Frankfort of the 28th of December,
in the Prase of Brussels, says :

It is positive that Prussia has signified an ultimatum to
Switzerland, according to which, if by the 2nd of January
the prisoners of Neufchatel are not released without trial,
the Cabinet of Berlin will not receive any further proposi•
Lion for an arrangement, but will trust the decision to the
fate of arms, and exact from Switzerland the payment of
the expenses of the war from the day when the definitive
order for mobilisation shall have been given.

The Oesterreichische Correspcndenz of the 28th
Dec. contained the following semi-official article
upon the state of the question and the views of
Prussia:— _ .

The English newspapers sky that the endeavours of the
British and North American Ministers at Berne to arrange
the Neufchatel difference failed, because the representatives
of the other States were not empowered to agree to their
proposition. In order that things may be properly under.
stood, some explanation of the foregoing intelligence will
now be given.
The Imperial Royal Cabinet fully shares the wish of the
other powers to prevent the conflict which seems so close
at hand. The present state of things has, however, been

MR. SMITH O'BRIEN has addressed a lengthy
letter "To the People of Ireland " upon the state of
public affairs. Taking the "income tax " as the
basis of his argument, Mr. Smith O'Brien, regarding
it essentially as a war tax, ►nquires what has Ireland
or the British empire gained by the late war?—
Having lived during the greater part of the lost two
years among the neutral nations of the Continent, I have
no hesitation in assunng you that the prevalent sentiment
of that portion of Europe which has remained a spectator
of this collision is, that the events of the war have greatly
tended to augment the prestige of France and of Russia,
while they have equally tended to diminish that of Great
Britain and Ireland.

Mr. O'Brien then reviews the events of the war,
which in his opinion brought discredit upon British
generalship and British valour, and then puts the
question :

I would seriously ask you—l would ask oven the British
people—whether it is desirable by consenting to a con-
tinuance of the war income tax to encourage the Minister,
whoever he may be, to involve Ireland—to involve the em-
pire in new collisions, which may be infinitely more dies's.
trous and more ignominious in their results than that
which has been recently terminated ?

THE PARIS CONFERENCES.

TuE lifoniteur of Wednesday publishes the following
official announcement :

The representatives of the Courts which signed the
Treaty of Paris will reassemble this day (Wednesday) in
Conference, at the Hotel of the Ministry of Foreign
AffeirP, to consult upon the means of putting an end to
(nettre its) the difficulties which have interfered with the
execution of Article 20 of the treaty of the 30th of March.
The plenipotentiaries met at two p.m., the ques•
tiou as to whether M. Brunnow should be present at
the Conference in order to assist with bis advice
Count Kisseleff having been decided in the
affirmative.

The new Bessarabian frontier line incorporates
Bolgrad with Moldavia and the Isle of Serpents, and
the delta of the Danube with Turkey, while giving to
Rissia, as compensation, a terntory of 140 square
miles, with a population of 160,000 souls, out of
Bessarabia, to the north of Moldavia. This line was
agreed to by Count Kiaseleff on the 27th, and prepa-

THE PERSIAN EXPEDITION.

No intelligence, up to the 3rd Dec., of the move.
ments of the squadron in the PenAan Gulf had been
received at Bombay, but preparations for extensive
operations against Persia, should she retain Herat,
are being carried out by the Indian authorities. A
strong reserve force of 5,000 men was being organised
at Bombay, and reinforcements were about to be sent
to the expedition so soon as the transports returned.
Meanwhile a division of 5,000 men under the com-
rdand of Gen. Chamberlain, accompanied by Sir
John Lawrence, has advanced by the hills of Kohat,
within fifty miles of Cebu], with the view of support.
ing the advance of Dost Mohamed. The old chief,
says the Bombay Times, is said meanwhile to be
finessing—keeping up correspondence with both
parties, to claim the friendship of that one which
remains master in the field ; while negotiations
have been opened with the Khans of Kelat and
Candahar.

1 The fall of Herat was authenticated, and Murad
M irza Khan, the serdar, or commander-in-chief, of
the Persian troops, had sent a division of his army

part of the above tax as was levied for the purpose of
carrying it on should be forthwith abandoned, and that a
petition be presented to the House of Commons praying
for such a reduction; and also that such portion of the tax
as may be retained shall undergo a revision, with the view
to a more equitable distribution of it among the various
classes of ratepayers.

The resolution, seconded by Mr. Jolly, was unani-
mously agreed to, and a petition founded upon it, to
be intrusted to the city members (Captain Scobell
and Mr. Tite) for presentation, was at once adopted.
The members of the eastern division of the county
(Messrs. W. Miles and Knatchbull) are to be re-
quested to support its prayer. A deputation from
the Society for Promoting the Interests of the
Trading Community has been in Bristol and Clifton
during the week, soliciting signatures to a petition
for the repeal or modification of the tax.
An influential meeting was also held at BAnv•
STAPLE on Tuesday, at which Colonel Buck, M.P.,
and the leading gentlemen of the county, were
present. Resolutions condemning the tax as inqui-
sitorial were unanimously passed, and these were
embodied in a petition to Parliament.

At East Retford and at Harrowgate crowded
meetings have been also held, and similar resolutions
and petitions to Parliament unanimously adopted.

Mn. FARNALL, who has for some time past held
the office of poor-law inspector in the manufacturing
districts of Yorkshire and Lancashire, has been pro-
moted to a similar appointment in the metropolitan
district. He is to be succeeded in his former post
by Mr. Manwaring, inspector of unions in the agri-
cultural districts of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, &c.,
who is, however, to retain the inspectorship of the
Doncaster and Hemsworth Unions in the former
county. The remainder of his late district will be
placed under the supervision of Mr. Lambert, a
newly-appointed poor-law inspector.
THE THREE OFFICERS to whom Sir Benjamin Hall
has intrusted the task of deciding upon the Great
London Drainage Scheme are Captain Douglas
Galion, of the Royal Engineers, Mr. Simpson, and
Mr- Blackwell, both well known in the engineering
profession. The scope of their inquiries will be, it
is said, very comprehensive, as they are not only em-
powered to consider the plans of the Metropolitan
Board of Works, but to initiate others should they
think it expedient to do so.

FASHIONS FOR JANUARY.
(From Le Folk!).
THE fureur of the present season is in long double
shawls, in stripes of bright contrasting colours, with black
or gold borders, and deep fringe the colour of the ground.
Walking dresses are always made with basques. liretelles
are less worn with them, and, when adopted, are cut open
on the shoulders, and joined in a point behind. Dresses
without basques are made high, buttoned and trimmed
with hrandebourg, more or less rich, or with only three
rows of buttons. _ .

Asitlinner dresses, the three following are very recherch es :
—A dove-coloured taffetas, with five flounces, edged with a
Grecque trimming of ponceau velvet. Body ala Raphael,
without hasques, high over the shoulders, and half high at
front, trimmed round to match the flounces. Sleeves hla
Grecque. Chemisette and under sleeves of white lace.
The second, a very rich taffetas, of a bright brown
colour, the skirt ornamented by two rows of broad black
and brown chenille fringe. High body, with rich passe-
menterie, rounded at front, with a small basque behind
only. Rounded berthe, formed by a chenille fringe.
Sleeves fiat at the top, with a very wide frill from the
elbow, covered by a fringe to match that on the skirt.
The third was a very elegant dress, composed of pink
taffetas, trimmed round the bottom with bands of black
velvet nearly three inches wide, placed about two inches
apart; between these were very narrow velvets, with a
chain-work of jet beads on them. The point of the body

LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1857.

POSTSCRIPT.

The Noniteur of yesterday announces that the
Senate and Legislative Body are convoked for the
lath of February.

The latest news received at Vienna from Berne is
that the French Government has again offered to
intervene, but it is here believed that every one-
sided attempt to settle such an important question
must fail.
A letter from Vienna says :
A person who is well informed of whet has recently been
done by the Paris diplomatists states that the word Hol•
grad will hardly appear in the new protocol, although both
the places of that name will be ceded by Russia. The
assurance has been given me that the evacuation of the
Danubian principalities will begin towards the end of this
month ; but if the weather is as mild on the Lower Danube
as it is here, it will be impossible to move a gun.

A ceps is of the population of the different depart-
ments of France has just been officially published.
The total population is returned at 30,039,361
persons.

The Offseiel Moniteur of Wurtemburg denies the
statement that the Government had refused the
passage of Prussian troops through that State ; and,
it adds, it it were to do what is prayed for by the ten
deputies it would identify it:elf with the revolutionary
principle which Switzerland represents in this af►ir.
The article proceeds to contend that the act of the
deputies in question is an excess of political power,
and cannot he granted, as it would violate the terms
of Art. 85 of the Constitution.

Immense activity prevails in the various offices of
the Ministry of War at Berlin, and of the administra-
tions of the regiments. A letter from Berlin in the
Dresden Journal says, " In the Ministry of War and
in the general staff, deliberations, in which the officers
of provinciai staffs take part, are held on the prepa-
rations necessary to be mode by the entrance on a
campaign of an expeditionary army. The medical
organisation in particular is being completely trans-
formed in consequence of the experience attained in
the Eastern war."

THE QUEEN has been graciously pleased to give
orders for the appointment of his Royal Highness
the Prince of Prussia, Colonel• General in the service
of his Majesty the King of Prussia, to be an Hono-
rary Member of the Military Division of the First
Class, or Knights Grand Cross, of the Most Honour-
able Order of the Bath.
r SIR COLIN CAMPBELL arrived in Berlin on Wednes-
day, charged to deliver to the Prince of Prussia the
insignia of the Grand Cross of the Order of the
Bath.
