CONDITION OF THE PEOI

PREPARATIONS.

WARSAW, Dzo. 24.
The columns of our journals have been filled for
several days put with a great number of official de-
crees' confiscating the property of numerous indivi-
duals who have quitted the kingdom, without the
knowledge and consent of the authorities. The
advertisements contain the significant fact that the
above-mentioned absent:we have gone to Turkey.
My telegraphic message of this day will have In-
formed your readers of the prohibition of the expor-
tation of sheep skins during the continuance of the
war. This is another unexpected and severe blow
o our commerce, which is already, sufficiently para-
lysed by the war. Every day fresh bankruptcies are
reported, and whilst the prices of all sorts of provi
stone are getting dearer daily, the scarcity of me-
tallic currency is becoming more and more felt, the
agio is rising, and the price of government securities,
or rather insecurities, falling in propodion. Trea-
sury bonds were yesterday quoted at 74 roubles 42
copecks without the coupons, and as much as
6 roubles 38 copecks is freely given for the Demi-
Imperial. In short, trade is stagnant, misery staring
us in the face, the poverty almost insupportable, and
the whole country on the eve of a general bank-
ruptcy.
In spite of the prevailing wretched weather, which
has converted our roads into almost imptaeticable
bogs, the military movements and the dislocation of
the troops on the Austrian frontiers continue without
interruption. The reserve divisions of the Third
Army Corps at Kiew and Sohitomir, those of the
Fourth at Kaminietz and Odessa, the depot divisions
of the third corps at Kiew, of the fourth at Orel, of
the fifth at Charkow, and lastly, the reserve squa-
drons of the first and second reserve Cavalry Corps
at Elisabethgrad and Tschngejew, are now perfectly
organised. The second reserve Cavalry Corps is
already on its march to the south. The greater part
of the Third Army Corps and a division of the Fifth,
under General Riedt, has been ordered to the Crimea
and has already begun its march. The first reserve
Cavalry Corps, consisting of the brigades of light
and heavy cavalry, is destined to defend the fron-
tiers towards Austria, and several regiments of
Cuirassiers are already in garrison at Berdishew.
The arrival of troops from the north continues daily.
Part of the garrisons of Lublin and Roden, consisting
of 18,000 men, are ordered to Vollaynia, and all the
regiments quartered in Lithuania are under order for
the Crimea.

REPORTED VISIT OP THE QUEEN TO CARDIFF.—
The Cardiff' Guardian contains a letter from Colonel
Phipps to Mr. Richards, Town Clerk of Cardiff, which
states that there is no foundation for a report on which the
Town Council were preparing to act, that the Queen and
Prince Albert would shortly pass through Cardiff, on their
way to Pembroke Dockyard. No royal visit as con:emplated
either to Cardiff or to Pembroke.

THE NEW SWEDISH TARIFF.

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 20.
The new tariff, which comes into operation on the
Ist January next, has just been published. This is
one of the most liberal measures ever voted by the
Diet. The King has sanctioned the proposals made
by the Chambers for rescinding all the hitherto
existing prohibitory duties on imports and exports
(with the single exception of brandy), but with the
alight modification that they are to cease at the end
instead of the beginning of the year 1806. The mea-
sure has been most favourably received by the mer
eantile world, as one tending to- give a great impetus
to the development of our foreign commerce.

The Suisse aye The Zurich armourers have not
responded to the appeal of the Russian government,
and it is very improbable that they will accept
Russia's offers."
We also read in the Suisse :—" The rumour that
the English Minister had made application for leave
to recruit openly in Switzerland for the English
army appears to be unfounded."
London, England, 1855-01-01

THIS DAY—Two o'cLocs.

The English funds have met with very little busi-
ness to-day, and the market is rather flatter. Prices
are now quoted 1 per cent. lower than they closed
on Saturday. Consols were first marked 91 and
are now quoted 91 to 1 ex div. for the 10th instant.
The Three per Cent. Reduced have been dealt in at
901 to 91; Exchequer Bonds, HA at t. 91; and
Exchequer Bills at 4s. to 7s. prem.
Foreign stocks are much neglected, but generally
steady in price. Turkish is quoted 731 to 76 ; Spanish
Deferred Three per Cents., 17; to 1S ex dm. ; Mexi-
can, 201 to 211; and Russian Five per Cents., 97 to
99. Sardinian Bonds have been dealt in at 831;
Equador at 31 to 31; and Brazilian Four-and-a-
Halt per Cent. at 93.

THE CRIMEA.

The Moniteur de 'Armee publishes the following
extract of a letter, dated before Sebastopol, 19th ult.:
" Lord Raglan came this morning to our head-
quarters. He is a good rider, and does not appear to
feel the want of the arm which he left at Waterloo.
He looks well, has a good colour, with a beard a little
grey. He came without any ceremony, wearing a
cap covered with oilskin. The English are the most
free and easy men we know. The following, which
occurs under our eyes, will appear perhaps
scarcely credible. In the trenches they light
a fire, make their tea, and then sitting down
on the back of the trench, quietly smoke.
The sentinel now and then goes and looks over
the parapet, and, if he sees nothing, he comes down
again amongst his comrades. A shell falls, but no
one takes any notice of it. If one of the party should
be hit, two of his comrades raise up and carry him
away with the greatest coolness; the others do not
stir. With us we are careful not to make any fire.
We suffer more in the trenches from this circumstance,
but we have less casualties, as the smoke of a fire
forms a good mark for the enemy's batteries. The
engineers continue to surround Sebastopol with their
trenches, which are now at 90 metres from the place.
It is at this distance that the third parallel is placed.
We are prepared to establish ourselves by main force
in Flagstaff bastion as soon as the English artillery
shall be ready to support ours in silencing the cross
fire of the enemy."
A Vienna despatek in the Patrie, dated this day,
says :—" Every corps of the Russian army, infantry,
regular and irregular cavalry, are matching towards
the Austria* frontier and the Crimea. A ukase has
been published ordering the re-establishment of
bridges over the Pruth."
The number of troops who embarked at Marseilles
from the 12th November to the 31st ult. was 11,290
infantry and 1,986 cavalry, making a total of

whether exaggerated or not, his caused une-asifeeliag
amongst commercial men, and tenpin lave ventured upon
business with much unties. There is a general dulness is
this market, and has been throughout the week. One addi-
tional cause of this is no doubt the oneettlement of every-
thing usual to the holidays' and another same of restriction
is attributed to the difficulties lelt in securing transit for
goods up the Levant, whence recently we have had our best
demand, in oonsequinee of the government having taken up
so many vessels. The trade to India, China, Australia, and
the United States, continues on a comparatively small scale
in consequence a our supplies in past months, and though
the home trade is somewhat healthy the general demand
falls short of the large production still going on. Prices
are tolerably steady, but in oases where spinners and menu-
lecturers are coming out of orders, • slight advantage may
be obtained in some cues by buyers, notwithstanding the
existing low rang* of prices.

WOOLLEN CLOTH.—Lasea, lax:.6.—We have had

considerable imprommaat in thi Woollen market to-day
The attendance of buyers in the cloth hells was much larger
than it has been during several weeks; a better feeling
prevailed, and an increased quantity of cloth changed
owners.

orders come in very slowly, and at many of the manure&

there is no improvement whatever ; from the United States
there are no orders of any kind, bat the real pinch arises

two months scarcely any have been received, but as gold is

Canadian trade is in a mere unfavourable state than the

promising, if we are to credit the tenor of recent advice..

GLNTLE3IIS,—I feel great reluctance in intruding
publicly upon you, but an imperative sense of duty as
the treasurer of the Commercial Travellers' Orphan
Schools induces me to lay the following Sgurei

Estimated cost of the building when
completed, iseladiag all extras

£23,938 0 0
Amount collected foe the building fund.. 16,700 0 0

Leaving a deficiency of £7,238 0 0
Now, aa your treasurer, it can matter little to me
whether you take six months until Jane (the time I
earnestly hope the schools will be open) or six years
to raise this amount, as there may net be much diffi-
culty in borrowing the money; but will it be cre-
ditable to the commercial travellers of England to
open the schools with an incubus upon their building?
as, depend upon it, if the money be not raised before
the building is open, fivefold more difficulty will be
found in doing so when the excitement and freshness
of your exertions are away.
Now, let me, in treueLst earnest and anxious
spirit, urge every commercial traveller in the United
Kingdom to volunteer his services ss a steward for
our opening day by letter to Mr. Saul, the secretary,
81, Cheapside; and if one quarter of the estimated
number of commercial travellers will respond, and
collect or give it. each, it will enable you to take a

THE CRIMEA.

CRIMEA, Dsc. 22.

Since the departure of the division of General
Liprsodi for Baktchi-Serai and Simpheropol, in antici-
pation of a movement on the side of Eupatoria, no
more mama of Russians have been seen. They
keep in their positions on the Belbeck, but are busily
occupied in digging up the ground both in the town
and the country. The French batteries are all
armed, but the English works, unfortunately, do not
advance with all the celerity that could be desired.
For the last two days the weather hu been fine, and
the sun shines brightly. The English cavalry, with
a body of French infantry, have just returned into
camp, after making a reconnaissance on the side of
the Tchernsya. They have seen nothing beyond
a poet of from 200 to 300 men, who, on the ap-
proach of the allies, promptly retired towards the
mountains.—Deily. News.

THE CZAR ON STABBING THE FALLEN.

The Journal de St. Peterabourg of Dec. 29 contains
the following attempted vindication of the Rumba
army in the Crimea :
The English end French press, and even the speeches of
public men, have been filled with accusations of cruelty
levelled by our adversaries against our brave soldiers in the
Crimea. An attempt has been made to diffuse the belief
that our troops despatched the wounded as they lay on the
ground after the battle. We know that Prince blentchikoff
met this odious accusation with the moat prompt and ener-
getic denial. We shall confine ourselves here to reminding
the world that generosity and compassion are qualities so
universally assigned to the Russian people,—that writers
most hostile to them have never dreamed of calling
these in question. Who can believe that the nation which has
adopted as a popular saying that beautiful maxim,
•'
of those excesses ! Let us nevertheless add that if we
strenuously repel the accusation sought to be fastened on
the whole body of our gallant army, we have no intention
whatever of extending this justification to a few Isolated
facts that may have unfortunately occurred, and which, bad
they come to the knowledge of the military authorities,
would have been checked with the vigour which is charac-
teristic of our discipline. These facts,; if they did :take
place, ought for the rest to be attributed to the exaspera-
tion produced in our troops by the conduct of the allied
armies. Let us not forget that the Russian soldier
is defending his own soil, his hearth audaciously
linvaded by foreigners allied to the enemies of
Christianity,

_ , by adversaries who respect neither
churches, nor convents, nor holy bells, and that these
•rimes are in his eyes so many deeds of sacrilege that kindle
his vengeance. We must not conceal from ourselves the
fact that the sacking of the Church of Chenonesus, that
ancient temple, witroored by oar ealdiers fres the beations
el Sebastopol, has justly exasperated them. The resistance
el a people attacked in objects most sacred, most dear to
Its heart, in its religion as well as its homes, often assumes
• fierce nature by acquiring proportions that are those of
the situation. Beside., why not cite also the conduct of
our enemies? Why not say, for instance, that during
the battle of the 24th (Nov. 5) the Anglo- Franck sharp-
shooters, unable to resist the collision cf our bayonets, threw
themselves on the ground under the pretence of being
wounded, but as soon as our gallant band had passed,
stood up again for the purpose of firing bullets at their
legs. Acts of this sort, such as we have just instanced,
would amply explain the exasperation of the Russian soldier.

For the rest, let us, in finishing, remind our readers that
if our adversaries are pleased to amen us of cruelty, their
own prisonen do us better justice. The chiefs of the allied
armies have received irrefragable proofs of this truth.

of the Rev. Frede•iek Begot,
Dr. Phi Hinters was •topped by the commissioners and for-
bidden to cross-examine as to the motives of the prosecutor,

" In the

and the circumstances under which the prosecution of the
Archdeacon of Taunton had been commenced, and was
being carried on. Dr. Phillimore then stated that it was
his intention to adopt the following line of defence on behalf
of the archdeacon, via., to show that the prosecution was'
the result of a conspiracy of certain persons belonging to a
particular party of the church to procure the deprivation of
the Archdeacon of Taunton; and that he should also ten-
t:ad that there was no legal proof of the preaching or pub-
lishing the said sermons, written within the diocese of Bath
and Wells. Dr. Phillimore, therefore, claimed the right to
share his course of crow-examination of witnesses in refe-
rence to the line of defesee. The commissioners ruled
that Dr Phillimore should not be allowed to give evidence
by cross-examination or otherwise, as to the existence of the
alleged conspiracy or the motives of the prosecutor."
The **nand minute was prefaced by a note from the
learned counsel for the promoters of the suit, and was to
the fallowing effect ;

" Dr. Phillunore asked permission to be allowed to pro-
duce evidence to prove that one of the commissioners bad
been recently brought into collision with the Archdescon on
a question of doctrine relating to one of the sacraments,
and that he had seined a personal hoetility ta wards the'
archdeacon. The oommissionen ruled that Dr. Phillimore
should not be allowed to produce such evidence."
