Cusee's character to an assembly of capitalista.
The House of Representatives has also given
a striking proof of the gravity which it recognises
in the circumstances of the hour. This body, it

appears, was invited by one or more of its
members to pass a resolution pledging it to
support the act of Captain WILKSe. It has
refused to do so. Only a fortnight before it had
passed a resolution expressing satisfaction with the
conduct of the same officer. We pointed out at
the time that this resolution, although it unplea-
santly overlooked the bearing of Captain Witzse
act upon the relations of America to this country,
was not directed against England, and did not
commit that assembly to a defence of that
act against our just complaints. This last
resolution, however, must be taken as a posi-
tive expression of the desire of the House of Re-
presentatives that the Government should
deliberate and resolve with the utmost freedom,
with reference only to the interests of the State.
So far as our intelligence reaches we see nothing
of that violence of the mob which some among
us foretold would disorder and pervert the
counsels of the United States Government. Mr.
Li weour and his advisers consult and decide with
as much freedom as the Ministers of any mo-
narchy of Europe, and their frequent and pro-
, tracted sittings show bow thoroughly they are pe-
netrated with the seriousness of the conjuncture.

A very few days will now place us in possession •
of their decision, and, imperfect as the elements
of prediction are at present, it is undeniable that
they are all without exception in favour of peace.

PAR.I2, JAIL 2.

The Moniker of this morning publishes an ac-
count of the reception by the Emperor, at the
Tuileries yestertlay, of the diplomatic corps, the
Corps Legislatif, the Senate, and the clergy, and
says :—" The Emperor thanked thediplomatic corps,
for their good wishes, and said :--` The past year
has been sadly marked by numerous agitations in
various quarters of the world, and by cruel
losses among royal families. I hope that the
year 1862 may be a happier one both for kings
and peoples."
Replying to the members of the Senate the
Emperor said that he counted upon the Senate to
aid him in perfecting the constitution, although at
the same time maintaining intact the fundamental
bases on which it reposed.

The Emperor said, addressing the Corps Login-
latif—" I hope that the Corps Legislatif will see in
the modifications introduced into the eosstitntios
a fresh proof of my entire confidence in the wis-
dom and patriotism of the deputies."
In reply to the deputation from the clergy, the
Emperor said :—" The French clergy, so eminent

REPORTS OF THE SECRETARIES.

The report of the Federal Secretary of War has
been published. It states that the Federal army
at present numbers 800,000 fully armed and
equipped men. When the quotas are filled the
army will number 1,000,000 men.
The report of the Secretary of the Navy says that
the Federal naval force consists of 323 steamers, and
104 sailing vessels, carrying in all 3,268 guns. The
Secretary of the Navy refers to the depredations of
the steamer Alabama, and says :—" The Alabama
went forth from England to destroy American
shipping, and how far and to what results this
abuse may be carried with impunity to the govern-
ment which tolerates it is matter of grave conside-
ration.

"This lawless rover, though built in and sailing
from England, has no acknowledged flag or re-
cognised nationality. Before the Alabama left
England the British authorities were informed by
the recognised official agents of the Federal govern-
ment of her character and purposes. The British
government thus invoked came too late to prevent
her sailing. To what extent under these circum-
stances the British government is bound in honour
and justice to mak3indemnification for the destruc-
tion of private property is a question which may
present itself for disposal. It is alluded to now
from a sense of duty towards American commercial
interests, and from the fact that recent intelligence
indicates that other vessels of similar character are
fitting out in England."
The report of the Secretary of the Treasury
states that the °garnet) of the public debt in July,
1863, must be advanced to 1,120,000,000 dole. If
the war continues with undiminished disbursements
the estimated debt in July, 1864, will be
1,744,000,000 dollars. The average rate of in-
terest on the whole loan is 4 3-sths per cent. The
estimated receipts from the customs for the current
year are 68,000,000 dols., and from internal
revenue 85,000,000 dole. There is a balance of
276,700,000 dole to be provided for. To make up
the deficiency the Secretary recommends the
imposition of a moderate tax on the corporate cir-
culation, and that the banks should issue a cir-
culation furnished by government, and thus
establish one sound, uniform circulation of equal
value throughout the country. From this source
he expects to obtain 50,000,000 dots. He further
proposes to raise 200,000,000 dols. by loans and
20,000,000 dots. by enlarging the limit for tem-
porary deposits. The Secretary recommends no
more paper money schemes, but a aeries of mea-
mires looking to the gradual return to gold and
silver. The resources of the country will always
enable her to pay the interest on her debt, or to
reduce the principal to whatever point the public
interest may indicate. He recommends that what-
ever may be needed in excess of the sum to be
supplied by revenue be obtained by loans, without
increasing the issue of United States notes beyond
• the amount fixed by law. Mr. Chase also recom-
mends that the American gold half-eagle be made
• of equal weight and fineness with the English so-
) vereign.

PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.

Several resolutions proposed in Congress by the
opposition members, to inquire into unconstitu-
tional arrests, have been voted down.
Congress has adopted a resolution directing the
committee on naval affairs to report on the cheapest
and most expeditious mode of placing vessels of
war on Lake Ontario, when the exigency may arise
for establishing water communication from other
waters to the lakes.
A resolution has been offered in Congress to hold
a convention of delegates from all the States at
Louisville, in April next, to consider the state of
the country and the proper means to be pursued
for restoring the Union.
A resolution has been offered in Congress, ap-
proving President Lincoln's emancipation procla-
mation.
Another resolution has been offered, declaring
that the Union must be preserved, and denouncing
as guilty of high crime any executive or legislative
department that shall propose or advise any
acceptance of peace on any other basis than the
integrity of the Union as it existed before the re-
bellion.
On the 4th Mr. Stephens, of Pennsylvania, asked
leave of Congress to introduce a Bill of Indemnity
to free the President and his Ministers from all suits
or actions at lawfor suspension of the writ of Habeas
Corpus, and other uuoonstitutional iota committed

completed for commission.
RIFLED ORDNANCE.—A large number of 40-ponder cast
iron guns, rifled and strengthened on Captain Blakeley's
hoop principle, have recently been manufactured at Liver.

meets. In addition to the experimentalns now being
prepared by Sir W. Armstrong and Mr. Whitworth, it is
dated that a Lancaster gun has been manufactured, which
will be found, on full trial, equal, if not superior, to any of
the riled ordnance yet produced,

LIFEBOAT SERVICE.—On Saturday afternoon,
during a heavy ground swell. the smack Countess of
Lisburne, of Aberystwith, struck on Cardigan Bar. Her
mainsail and meinboom had been previously carried away.
Immediately the smack's perilous position was seen, the
Cardigan lifeboat belooging to the National Lifeboat In-
stitution was launched. On reaching the vessel the surf
was found to be tremendous, and enough to appal any man.
The smack's boat bad been lost. so that the poor creatures
had no mesas of rescue if the lifeboat failed to reach them.
Their piercing cries for help, with death staring them in
the face, were of the most heartrending character.
Fortunately. the lifeboat succeeded in closing with the
wreck, and in savioj the crew .4 three men, and in after-
want bringing them safely ashore through the heavy seas.

ESSAYS AND REVIEWS.

(Concluded from yesterday's Express.)
In the case of " Pendell a. Wilson,"
The Queen's Advocate said, that in moving the judg-
ment of the court he should abstain from making any ob-
servations, unlees, indeed, it was intimated on the other
side that they intended to argue it at length.
Dr. Deane—l only wish so far to argue it as to give me •
ground of appeal. If the court will take my argument for
granted, I will say nothing.
Dr. Lushington—Certaunly. This case does not differ
materially from the last, and I shall, therefore, pronounce
the same sentence.
Mr. Dubois in this ems also appealed, and was assigned
to prosecute his said appeals within a reasonable time.

THE POLICE COURTS.

M4NBION-HOIIBE.

Fanny Jacobs and Michael de Hoosier, two foreigeers,
both of whom said they could not speak English, and stated
they had no homes, were charged, the former with being
concerned with another woman and a man in stealing two
pieces of silk, value 101., from the warehouse of Megan. T.
and R. Robinson, 30, Milk-street, Cheapside, Bilk manu-
facturers. _ .

It appeared that the female prisoner, accompanied by
another woman and a man, all of wbem were very respecta-
bly dressed, went into the warehouse of the promoters
at about 9 o'clock yesterday morning. There was no one in
the shop but the porter, who asked them what they wanted,
and the man said be wanted to look at some velvet.. The
rang the bell for Mr. Robinson to come down, and
porterd: an he had to turn his beak to the prisoner and her
companions. Shortly afterwards the prisoner and the other
female came up and aid they wanted to speak to the
man, and having done so appeared in a great hurry
to leave. Mr. Robinson not liking their appearance,
directed his porter to follow them. They left the warehouse,
leaving the man behind, who afterwards said he did not
wish to purchase anything ; be only wanted to know the
The porter followed the two females as far as the
bottomrL of Amanbury. The prisoner Jacobs went up
Fountain-court, and the other woman ran off. He followed
the prisoner, and saw her stop by the side of the male pri-
soner, who had a black calico bag, and slip two pieces of silk
from under her shawl into the bag. He went up to the male
prisoner, and after some difficulty secured him. The female
prisoner had in the meanwhile managed to escape, but she
was afterwards secured in Aldermanbury.
Mr. Robinson identified the male prisoner as having gone
to his warehouse about six weeks previous in emptily
with another man, both of whom were very nicely dressed.
They wanted to know the prices of umbrellas, but they did
not purchase anything.
A gentleman from Mews. Peek Brothers, iu Noble-street,
said he identified the prisoner as having paid him a visit,
after which he missed two rolls of silk.
Both prisoners were committed for trial.

THE TURKISH PROVINCES.

The Gazette du Danube states that the importa-
tion of arms into Servia through Wallachia has
become so extensive that diplomatic interference
has taken place, France associating in the com-
plaint. It is asserted that an active conspiracy is
at work, with the object of bringing about an
insurrection in the territories subjected to the Turk-
ish sovereignty.

ST. NAZ&IBE, Drc. D.

Thel steamship Floride has arrived here, with
General Lorenoez on board, and brings news from
Vera Cruz to the 16th ult.

During the previous fortnight six vessels had
arrived there, bringing altogether 4,000 men. The
corps of General fielder had victoriously entered
Jalapa, which was defended by 2,500 Mexicans. A
column of 2,000 men had taken possession of
Medlin, which is an important position for obtain-
ing provisions. Twelve companies of the 81st Re-
giment of the Line had embarked for Tampico, in
order to occupy that place. The 3rd Regiment of
Zouaves were scouring the neighbourhood of Vera
Cruz, for oxen destined to complete the means of
transport.
Another tempest occurred on November 6, and
drove three vessels on shore. Neither of them
were French.

journey to the United States.
The Madrid papers comment variously upon the
speech of Senor Calderon Collantea, Minister of
Foreign Affairs, relative to the Mexican expedition.
Senor Collantes and M. Barrot, the French
Ambassador, have had a long conference together.

NEW YORK, Dm 8, Evntnta.
(Pow Jars vii Owe Bros.)

An engagement has occurred at Hartsville, Ten-
nessee, between the Federal advance force from
Nashville and the Confederates under General
Morgan. Colonel Moore's Federal brigade was re-
pulsed several times, and finally captured. General
Morgan afterwards attacked the Feder&la at Gal-
latin, but was repulsed with heavy loss.
_ _

Both the Federal and Confederate armies at
Fredericksburg are actively engaged in fortifying
Frederivkaburg.
The Southern journals state that a fleet of
twenty Federal vessels sailed from Hilton on the
sth inst. for Georgetown or Wilmington. Several
Federal vessels had passed Charleston Harbour. It
was supposed that they were going to assist in at-
tacking Mobile. . . .

The—same journals assert that 30,000 Federals
are at Suffolk, preparing to move against Peters-
burg, while a Federal force at Newborn, North
Carolina, will operate simultaneously against Wel-
don.

The Federals occupy Granada, Mississippi.

OPINIONS ON THE PRESIDENT'S
MESSAGE.

The New York Heraki of the 22nd thinks that the
radical party in Congress will not listen to Presi-
dent Lincoln's proposed amendment to the con-
stitution.

The New York World supports the President's
plan.
The Commercial Advertiser is surprised that Pre-
sident Lincoln's message totally ignores all military
and naval sacrifices, and observes that it contains
not one word of sympathy for the past or cheer for
the future.

The New York Times says that the President's
proposal will not receive universal assent, and
thinks it doubtful whether Congress will pass the
amendment.

CHILD MURDER IN POPLAR.

INQURST.—{THIS DAY.)
This morning the inquiry was resumed at the
Spotted Dog Tavern, High-street, Poplar, by Mr. H.
Raffles Walthew, the deputy.ooroner, respecting the death
of a female child who was barbarously murdered under the
following circumstances :
On the evening of Monday week, a Mrs. Martin, residing
at No. 5, Union-place, Poplar upon opening the street-
door, found the naked body of the deceased lying in the
gard It was shockiogly mangled, and was covered
withblood. The arms were broken in two places, and
them were marks of extreme violence on the forehead
mid noes, which were caused, in the opinion of the police-
surgeon, Dr. Brownfield, by the child's head having been
placed on the ground and subjected to a heavy pressure.
Mr. Mills, the officer of the court, said that the condo.
don arrived at was that the deceased bad been bronght
from the station of the Blackwall Railway, which sae dote
at hand, in a bag, and thrown into the garden of Mrs.
Martin, where it certainly had been but a very short time
previous to its being discovered.
The police stated that they had need every endeavour to
discover those who were implicated in the murder, and the
disposal of the body, but without any prospect of amen so
far.
The Coroner said that the present was unquestionably the
most brutal case of child murder that had ever come before
him.
The jury returned a verdict of " Wilk! Murder sganu
some person or persons unknown."

ALARMING FIRE IN THE STRAND.

At a quarter past 8 last evening a tire broke out
on the premises of Mr. Page, shellfish warehouse, in the
Strand, next door but one to the entrance of the Adelphi
Theatre, causing the greatest excitement throughout the
neighbourhood. The report quickly spread that the the-
atre Bed was on fire, causing an immense amernblage of
completely blocking up Dot only the Strand itself,
rngiti):ll6,the thoroughfares in the locality. It being a benefit
night at the Adelphi for the band fund of the Loudon and
Westminster Rifle Corps, and the performance of the
Messiah taking place at Exeter-ball, the Strand was at the
time of the outbreak thronged with carriages, and the con-
fusion and uproar that took place were almost indescribable.
The reserve of the F division of police from Bow-
street, and all the available constables in the neighbourhood,
were brought Into request, but it was some time before
anything like order could be restored. On the arrival of the
engines it was found that the flames had got firm bold of
the upper and back portions of Mr. Page's premises, occupied
as supper and bedrooms, and were rapidly extending to the
theatre, which stands immediately in the rear. The danger
to the latter building now became so imminent that the
management deemed it prudent to close the performances.
Mr. Webster informed the audience from the stage that
there was a fire raging close to the theatre, which
rendered it necessary that the house should close
at mice, and be requested them to retire as orderly
as possible. Some alarm was excited, but the home,
which was much crowded, was speedily cleared, without any
accident. The same course was pursued with the company
at the Cider Cells" which are immediately in the rear
of Mr. Page's premises. ,In the meantime, the firemen
exerted themselves to the utmost to prevent the spread-
ing of the flames, and after an hone' labour they
were fortunately anoceisfuL The whole of the upper and
back portions of the premises of Mr. Page were destroyed,
together with the billiard•roans of Mr. Beekingham ad-
joining, on the west side, and the back part of the house
occupied by Messrs. Batt and Co., florists, on the east, sad
the whole of whose p.remises weie much damaged by water.
The theatre was not injured. The fire broke out in the
second floor front bedroom, but from what cause cannot be
ascertained.

SOUTHWARK.

Thomas Evans, a middle-aged man, described on the
charge sheet as a commission agent, residing at 17, New-
street, Rotherhithe, was brought before Mr. Maude (sitting
for Mr. Burchaml, charged with being concerned with
others tried and convicted at the April sessions of the
Central Criminal Court in stealing and receiving rope of
the value of 3,0001., the property of the London Ropery
Company, Bermondsey.
Detective Hughes stated that in the early part of
April last, three men were committed from this court for
stealing 3,000/. worth of property belonging to the Ropery
Company • two of them were -yenta, and the third was a
carman. :The prisoner was included in the charge as the
receiver of the property, but he absconded. He was, how-
ever, included in the indictmenta, and true bills were
found against him u well as the others. The latter were
tried at the April sessions and convicted. Two were sen-
tenced to six years, and the third to three years' penal
servitude.
Mr. Mande asked whether he bad evidence to show that
the prisoner was the man described in the true bill.
Hughes produced & certificate from Mr. Avery, the clerk
of the Central Criminal Court, showing thri Thomas Evans
wee indicted with three others at the April sessions, and
true bills were found against them all. Witness knew the
prisoner to be the party, as he bad been looking atter him
ever since. He had however, a witness in the service of the
company, who could prove the prisoner to be the person
indicted.

The prisoner admitted the fact, and was committed to
Helmets for trial.
Charles Harris and Esther Crane were charged with
amaulting the police under the following circumstances :
Burch, 237 M, naid the previous night, about 12 o'clock,
be was on duty io Kent-street, and saw the prisoners and
several other persons outside a public•house. He inquired
of the male prisoner what be wee doing there, to which he
returned an offensive reply, after which he and the other
prisoner went in the direction of St. George's New Town,
and knowing them to be thieves he followed them. The
male prisoner threw a stone at him, and the female pri-
soner flung a brick at his bead, after which they both
assaulted him. .

This evidence was confirmed by another constable. bat
the prisoners said that they had only acted in aelUdefenos,
and that the first witness had struck them before they threw
an at him.
The magistrate sentenced the male prisoner to one month's
imprisonment, and the female to pay a fine of 10s., or in
default to seven days imprisonment.

A deputation, consisting of the Duca di Worn,
the Senator Canuini, and the Deputy Silvestrolli,
was received to-day by the King, and presented to
his Majesty the marriage gift sent by the citizens of
Rome to the Queen of Portugal. The deputation
delivered the following address to the King :
" Sire,—Your fellow-citizens will view, in the
honour which your Majesty confers by receiving us,
a new proof that force still keeps you afar from
Rome ; but we know that your heart is with us.
Rome suffers indignantly, but confides in your
Majesty's word. In every event, you will find in
her people the energetic desire that justice may be
done to Italy." The King thanked the Roman
deputation in his daughter's name.
