GERMANY.

Letters from Berlin of the 30th ult. state that a
new loan was talked of as contemplated by the
government. It was thought, however, that the
Second Chamber would not be easily induced to sanc-
tion the project, while the government maintains a
perfect silence as to its lotentions regarding the
eastern question, and declines to let it be seen which
side it would take in the event of a war.
Fresh arrests were made last week at Berlin in
sounexion with the conspiracy of last March. Sen-
tenoe on the prisoners of that period is still deferred;
one of them has been confined for nine months; an-

ever, having more common sense and discretion than the
principals, brought the affair to an arrangement by pro-
posing that each of the belligerents should present himself
before the young woman for her to make choice between
them. It is whispered that she was so prudent as to reject
hem both, as they deserved.—South Eastern Gazette.

BRUSSELS, FIIDAT.
Parties residing in this capital, and intimately con-
nected with Sweden, "Know nothing whatever" of
the " order " given by Russia to that kingdom, to
close its ports to British and French vessels. That
polite, not to say diplomatic mode of expression, must
be interpreted into a declaration that the statement
that such an "order," or even such a hint has been
given, is totally unfounded. Even if one or the other
emanated from St. Petersburg , it would be neither
obeyed nor taken by the Swedish government.
It is asserted in well-informed circles—deriving
information direct from Constantinople—that what-
ever willingness may be manifested by the Porte to
second the views of certain Po were, with reference to
the holding of an European congress, it (the Porte)
will insist on certain conditions, and make certain
reserves, of a nature to render—in the present tem-
per of mind of the Emperor Nicholas—a pacific so-
lution of the Eastern question impossible. In the
diplomatic circles of this capital all hope of such a
solution is definitively abandoned. There is no great
secresy observed on that score, and, consequently,
there is no great indiscretion in saying as much.
London, England, 1854-01-03

A valued correspondent, writing from Conetan•

tinople, Dee. 19, tip :
" The English and French vessels sent into the
Black Sea for ascertaining on the spot the precise
foots respecting the late disaster, returned here on
the 10th inst. I send yorrthe sthennme of their
report. Two frigates, ten brigs, and other vessels of
the Turkish fleet have been burned or sunk. Hus-
sein Psalm, one of the Pachss in oommasd of the
flotilla, has been killed; the other, Osman Paths,
has been taken prisoner with 126 officers and sailors.
The Ramis= took with them such se were not
wounded, leaving those that were to their fate. In
this they have not imitated the conduct of t‘-st Turks,
who brought the wounded Russians from Chefkletil
to Constantinople, where they are humanely taken
care of. The Turkish quarter of Sinope was set on
fire, and the inhabitants fled to the mountains.
This feat of arms was performed by Vice-Admiral
Koroiloff, who in command of 40 sail, among which
were S three-deckers, 8 frigates, and six steamers,
surprised and attacked the Ottoman flotilla in
the harbour. The Russians were informed at
Sebeatopol by the captain of one of the Austrian
Lloyd's steamers, not only where the Turkish flotilla
lay, but that it had only 2 war steamers, that the
town was without garrison or means of defence, and
that neither the seamen nor the inhabitants sus-
peted an attack. Vic -Admiral Korsika has acted
boldly and vigorously• He is the old enemy of the
Turks, for hr it was wit() came with Prince Witold-
huff to see and stud% the Turkish fleet. The Russian
navy has shown what it could have does, in MO of
need, to the English and Fresh seamen, if their
timorous commanders had ventured to cope with it ;

trepidity. Husain Facia, when one of his ships I

In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies of Pied-

a speech appropriate to the occasion, terminating
with these words :

At this moment, when our difficult labours are on the

citizen to empress a wish which we all mut feel. May your
Lehman redound to the glory and prosperity of the crown
resting on the head of a monarch venerated by his people
and admired by the whole civilised world, bath on amount
of the valour which ha ha. displayed on the battleAleld in

May your inbuilt' tend to the honour and glory of that

BRUSSELS, THURSDAY.
The Constantinople correspondent of the Indepen-
dance Beige, writing on the 13th inst., states that
the Porte was told that the protocol of the Sth inst.
of the Vienna conference would be certainly the last
attempt made at pacification; and that if Russia re-
' fused its adherence to it, the Western Powers would
consider themselves justified in declaring war. The
same correspondent states that a secret treaty of
alliance, offensive and defensive, between Russia and
Persia, has been concluded. The Ottoman and British
representatives had quitted Teheran. The generals
of the Turkish army have evacuated the Russian
territory in Asia, except the Fort St. Nicholas, which
they still retain, and where Selim Pacha has strongly
fortified himself. The writer adds that at the battle
of Akattsche the losses of the respective combatants
..re about equal.

SHIPWRECKS.—During a snow-squall on Satur-
day morning, a Norwegian barrow was wrecked on the
Goodwin Sands. It was difficult to ascertain her name or
the fate of the crew, but by a telegraphic message, dated
Deal, Saturday, 12 o'clock," from Lloyds' Agent, we
learn that she was the Annette, Captain Jenson, laden with
salt, bound toStavenger from St. Übes, and that she was
a total wreck, the crew having been rescued by one of the
Deal loggers, which fortunately took the poor fellows off.
It is feared also that a vessel has founded near Margate, as
the broadside of a brig bad come ashore in Westgate Bay.
She appears to have been an oak-built vessel, but recently
repaired with fir. No tidings can be gained of her name,
and where she belongs to, or the fate of her crew. Right
away done channel, snow has been falling at intervals,
since Wednesday, the north-west gale raging with almost
as much force as in the Irish Channel, where the wrecks
have been so numerous and deplorable. Along the eastern
coast there has been a succession of wind and snow squalls.
The weather is described to be intensely cold, and all the
rivers are impeded by ice, nearly causing a complete stop-
page of the navigation. Off Lowestoft and Yarmouth no
fewer than seven vessels went ashore during a snow storm
on Thursday morning ; however, all the crews were
saved. By a telegraphic communication received last
evening from liasiburgh, dated Friday night, 10 o'clock,
we learn that the ports are all frozen in, and a strong wind
from the north-west prevailed, with a heavy fall of snow.
We also learn that the General Steam Navigation Com-
pany's steam ship, Caledonia, bound to London, is a fixture
in the ice at Gluckstadt.

More arrests have taken place within the last few
days, both in the army and amongst civilians. It is
said the military arrests have something to do with
Murat, but in all probability it will turn out that the
army spies (for there are Lome half dozen to each
regiment) have got up the story with the hope of ob-
taining money and promotions.
I need scarcely tell you that the Bing of Naples
and his friends are Russian, and the official journal,

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals ot the 25th ult. state that
the Queen had presided at a Cabinet Council, but the
Count de San Luis had not been able to attend it,
and no :Isolations of any importance were come to.
Her Majesty continued to manifest great interest in
the health of the President of the Council : he was
still continuing to get better. The Marquis de Turgot
was going on well, but it was not considered likely
that he could attend the ceremony of the presentation
of the newborn child of her Majesty, and it had been
settled that the First Secretary of Legation should
attend in his place. The Duchess and Duke de
Montpensier had held a reception of all the diplo-
matic body, the grandees, the chiefs of the army, the
magistracy, the senators, and a number of persons of
distinction.

The Memorial des Pyrjnees publishes the follow-
log letter from Madrid, 23rd, mentioning another
project of duel :

Another duel has been talked of, which was to have taken
place between the English and Austrian ambassadors, but
the death of the mother of Lord Howden, which hu just
taken place, has compelled the pstpontment of the inten-
tion, if it ever existed. The autboritie•, besides, have beea
sufficiently warned, and will doubtless prevent such a meet-
ing. It will probably be the same with an affair of a similar
kiad which was to have taken place, it is said, between
two consuls et Santander. One would be tempted to believe
that duels in Spain, between se, a who ought less than any
others to octant) an example, will become in some measure
epidemic.

AFFGHANISTAN.

The Scind News, of November 8, states that the
report of Persia having lost one of her quondam adherents
in the Sirdar of Ilerat, who has goae over to the chiefs of
Cabool and Orguny, is not correct, but that Mina Wally
Khan, Vukeel to the Shah of Persia, was expected with
letters and presents for the Dost of Cabool. Re bad also
lett< rs from bis master Shah Nussoaroodeen Shah, liaig
of Persia, said to be of the most friendly description, and
pointing out the blessing of peace, and the danger of per-
mitting the late incursions into the !lent territurie!,
trusting that such would in future be prevented. The
Vukeel is reported to have left Cabool with favourable
replies to his master's letters.

A LONG STRIKE.—The celebrated strike at the
new Houses of Parliament lasted eight month, and cost
the union it is said 3,000/. in sterling money, and the men
10 0001' in lost labour, and was productive of no good
'
whatever, but, on the contrary, an incalculable amount of
evil. Such a strike, we hope, will never occur again in
London. It opened a breach between employen and work-
men, and especially between foremen and journeymen,
which ten years of uninterrupted prosperity have been
scarcely sufficient to heal. We wish the working classes
in the north of England, who are now pursuing a similar
course with much greater recklebsness of consequences.
would take a lesson from the histoty of this unhappy feud.
And let us give them another-note 01 wor.ing. During the
120 years of its existence the Masons' Union, we are credibly
informed, has spent upwards of 100,0001.; but their wages
have remained at the same uninterrupted level—Builder.
THE LONDON NECROPOLIS COM PAN Y.—The ground
purchased by this company, and destined, we dont' not, to
bloom, the metropolitan necropolis, is situate at Woking,
in Surrey, about 21 miles from the Waterloo Station, this
distance being just what it ought to be under such circum-
stances. In area it consists of 2,200 acres, which has been
purchased at a cost of 251. per acre only. It appears, more-
over, that since their purchase a valuable and almost un-
limited supply of the finest brick earth has been disgorged
on the property, which must materially diminish the ea-
pease of the requisite buildings, as well as enhance the pro-
fits of the shareholden.—Mining Journal.

A FARMER CONVICTED Or CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—

lying upon it, and a large number of men and trucks were
employed during the day in its removal.

WEDNESDAY ETENINO.

Business in the British mining share market to-
day was very limited, and, in the absence of trans-
actions, there is no feature to report. Great Polgooth
shares were rather latter. The sales reported are:
Lisburne, at 212; Wheal Unity, 3, 3 3-16 ; Great
Wheal Baddern, 15, +; Molland, 5, I ; Devon United,
3, j ; Tremollet Downs, 4, 4.
In the gold mining shares there was almost a
sospenaioa of business, and quotations remain nomi-
nally much as before. Nouveau Monde shares were
flat. The Port Phillip Company's shares, with 11.
paid, stand quoted in the official list at the miserable
pries of 2.8.6 d. to ss. each. At 4 o'clock, Colonial
Gold were quoted to premium; Great Nuirget,
dia.. to par ; British Australian Gold, 5.16 to
7-16 die.; Nouveau Monde, I to prem.; Agua

Peninsular mining shares were rather better, clos-
ill at 14 to 15 prem. West Indian and other
mining stocks show no change of importance.

unbroken, the Emperor should pay more than usual
attention to the Curb representative. This dance
is, however, much talked of, and the licnsian party
represent it as the counterpart of the alleged visit of

The Momiteur says :—" The mails are at this
moment retarded on many points of France by the
accumulation of snow, which blocks up the roads.
Letters for Paris have therefore necessarily had some
delay, but the government neglects nothing to re-
establish and keep op the communications, and
these delays will only be accidental."
The decided thaw which has set in within the
last twenty-four hoary, seems to impede traffic,
even more than the snow. The mails from
all parts of the world are in sneer
to-day. The London morning papers of yesterday
were not delivered till four this afternoon, and the
evening papers and letters have not arrived. We
are without letters from Italy and Germany. I do not
know whether the telegraphic wires between London
and Paris are out of order; but the usual quotations
of the 12 and 1 o'clock prices of Consols were not
posted at the Bourse to-day. The authorities here
are, however, quite capable of 'oppressing them, if
they happened to be lower, and alleging the weather
as an excuse.

ITALY.

PIEDMONT.
The particulars of the disturbances at Aosta, in the
Turin journals of the 31st ult., are very scanty. The
Opinions states that the insurgent bands of the
valley of Aosta adopted the party cry " The king
for ever! down with the constitution!" and attributes
the movement to Austrian intrigue. The Tote della
Libereci says that bands were formed simultaneously
at three points, viz., at San Martino, Vows, and Bard,
and that the movement spread to the valleys of
Locana and Pont. Tee Armories states that the
bands were composed of men from the valleys of
Gressoney, Chiensellu, and Bruno, and adds to the
above party cry another : " Maize at 3 franca!" The
Piedniontcse Gazette announces that the news from
Aosta was of the most tranquillising nature, and that
the bishops, the intendant of the province, and the
syndic, had induced the insurgents by persuasion to
lay down their arms. The National Guards and a
few veterans maintained order and tranquillity in
the town, while the troops were marching against the
rebels. It adds that the movement might be consi-
dered put down. The Parlament°, however, says
that two small bands of rebels were still infestiog the
mountains, though pursued by the troops.

TUSCANY.
The Grand Duke of Tuscany has, by decree of the
19th ult., founded a new order, under the title of
Order of Military Merit, of which he is the Grand
Master. The members are distinguished into
knights of the first, second, and third class. The
decorations are granted by the Grand Duke alone,
and may be given to foreigners as well as Tuscans.
The decoration of the first class entitles a Tuscan, if
not a nobleman by birth, to claim the rights of here-
ditary nobility in his native town, without any ex-
pense. Non-commissioned officers and soldiers de-
corated with the third class have a pension of 100 f.
The ribandof the decoration is red and black. The
Minister of War is Grand Chancellor of the Order.

SPAIN.

We have advice@ from Madrid to the 28th alt. A
decree in the Gazette enacts that the establishment
of the metrical system, which was to have Dome into
opersti-n this year, sha'l be postponed to 1865. The
Marquis de Target was going on well, although his
wound continued toelew great pain. The matiriel
purchased in England fee a line of telegraphs from i
Madrid to Irun bad arrived. The line sto pass b
Saragossa, and Is to be plaoed in communication with
the French lines. It is expected that it will be corn-
p!eted in four or flve months. A letter says that the
Queen continued in good health, and drove out daily;
her medical attendants did not think her confinement
would take place for tome days. The letter adds that
the President of the Council was completely conva-
lescent. It also states that the Duke of Parma was
expected in the city on a visit to the Royal family.
