GALWAY, WIDNISTOAT.
The steam-ship Prince Albert, of Mr. Lever's sew
lift, arrived at Loop Head at six o'clock limit even-
ing, having left Sandy Hook at four o'clock p.m. on
the 21st ult. The Prince Albert stopped occasion-
ally on Recount of hot bearings ; her coals are also
reported to have been bad. As the weather wu
very stormy the ship was hove to for daylight, and
anchored in harbour at nine a.m. this morning. The
passengers are all well.

The general markets at New York on the 20th
alt. were moderately active. For cotton, flour, and
wheat, prices were strongly in favour of seller., es-
pecially fur flour and wheat ; corn was unsettled.
Distillers' oats having been most inquired for, were
firmer. Provisions, groceries, navel storm, and oils,
exhibited no very remarkable change.. Freights
continued depressed. There is no political news of
issportance. The rejoicings at the successful laying
tithe telegraphic cable were col:dinned on a vast
male.

A demonstration took place on the 20th ult. in
honour of the sailing of the Prince Albert. A
steamer specially chartered by the Irish Societies.
secompanied her to Sandy Hook. The Lever line is
regarded with confidence in New York as being now
permanertly established.

SERVIA.

Fresh complications have occurred in this
agitated province. After a violent debate it has
been decided that the ministers have no right to sit
in the senate unless when called upon by the vote
of a majority. The senate, exulting in its victory
on this question, hie thrown out the bill relative
to elections for the National Assembly, and the
ministry has resigned. This event may have serious
consequences in the present exasperated state of

PARIS, THURSDAY EVERIXO.

To-day the second plenipotentiaries of the Con-
gress of Paris met in conference at the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, and exchanged the ratificitione of
the treaty relative to the boundaries of the Bessara-
bian frontier.

The bands of all the regiments of tho garrison of
Paris and of the National Guard went, according to
custom, on New Year's-eve, to the court of the
Tuileries this afternoon to play an aubade to their
Majesties. At about two o'clock the Emperor, the
Empress, and the Imperial Prince, appeared in the
balcony of the Pavilion d'llorloge, which was fitted
up with crimson velvet for the occasion. The day
was very fine—bright, frosty weather—and all the

streets and quays leading to the Tuileries presented
an animated appearance all the morning, in conse-
quence of the number of officers in uniform who
thronged to see the spectacle.
Count Walewaki yesterday gave a grand dinner
to the Russian Ambassador. The Baron de Dour-
queney was the only foreign minister present.
Prince Poniatowaki and the Princess Radziwill
were of the party.

The Bourse hu been the scene of a great struggle
on the occasion of the settlement. Many sales to
realise profits occurred, and after considerable
fluctuation the Rente closed with a fall of
25c. for cash and 15e. for account, at
68fr. 30c. and 68fr. 35c. Mobilier fell
20fr. The railways were neglected, speculators
being occupied with the settlement of the Rente, and
disinclined to do business on the eve of the holiday
of to-morrow. Orleans and Lyons fell about 12fr.
each,and most of the other lines from 2fr. 60c. to Mr.

Letters from China, cited by the Pays, state that
persecution of Christians was going on in that
country to an extent never surpassed. In October
eleven executions took place at Kecbo, the
capital of Tonking. The individuals sentenced to
death for their adhesion to the catholic faith
belonged to the best families in the country.
In the province of liotelong the mandarins were
making wholesale arrests. Monsigneur Melchior,
the successor of the martyred Bishop Deuz, had only
escaped by a miracle. He was saved by one of his
converts. In Cochin China the persecution is equally
virulent, and executions are continually taking
place.

CRUSADE AGAIRBT IMMORALITY IX

Br. J.ANBI, 8.

Yesterday, at a special weekly meeting of the
parochial Whys of St. Pancras, held in the Vestry
Hall, Cam en Town, Mr. Churchwarden WYATT 112 the
chair, a communication wee 'waived from the vestry of Bt.
James's perish, requesting the co-operation, at a proposed
conference of the other metropolitan parochial representatives,
for the purpose of taking active and immediate measures for
putting down serest prostitution, brothels, and any other
public scandals and Immoral practices, at present openly
carried on in the metropolis, especially in the neighbourhood
of Regest-dresi.
Mr. ALLEN thought this a very proper proposal, for it was
intended to endeavour to supprem a great nuisance in one
district of the metropolis without at the some time driving
the evil into other perishes. He thought this was a very wise
waned conduct on the part of Bt. James's parish, and he
Mr. All®) begged to move the appointment of three
from that parish to attend the conference in St.
James's. (Hear, hear)
Mr. Churchwarden ATTIINE0101:011 IMOCIded the motion.
Mr. Hours considered that the evil complained of in St.
James's existed to as great an extent in the Regent's•park
and Camden-town. (" Hear" and laughter.)
Mr. ARIA urged that it was impossible to oppose such an
enormous evil, which not only existed in the metropolis, but
in every city and town throughout the world. (Laughter.)
Mr. BRETTINORAY gave • similar opinion, end other
member of the board, Including the Rev. H. Relett, thought
that the proceedings would be only a waste of time.
Mr. ALLaN reminded the board that according to the
law of the land, when called upon they were bound to prose-
cute, as the perochlid authorities, in all cases of immorality
end vice. (Hear, hoar.)
Mr. FAIRER remarked that the prevention of immorality
in one district only drove the unfortunate people concerned
into other districts. Such had been the case with the prete-
ntious which bad been instituted against homes In Norton-
street, the occupants having migrated to St. John's-wood.
He thought no good could be effected unless such a police
system as that pursued in Paris was adopted. (Hem, hear.)
Some further discussion followed, when the appointment
of the three delegates was agreed to, and Mums. Eckert,
Wyatt, and Cameron were directed to attend the conference
and report the result.

THE GOVERNMENT OF INDIA.

The following extract from a Calcutta letter ex-
presses an opinion which we have found to prevail
with all the wellsinformed English in Bengal, who
with an independent position combine opportunities
of observation and a dispassionate turn of mind
" I am thoroughly independent, and, I believe, stand
equally between the Civil Service party and those
extreme reformers who are not prepared to
re-form what they would see at once pulled down.
I hare been some eighteen years in India, and
have some knowledge of what the Company has
dope and what it has left undone, and without
being in the slightest degree the partisan of
that well-abased body, I cannot shut my eyes to the
all but incredible growth of our power and declare
it the result of systematic misgovernment. I want
extensive reforms in the military and civil systems,
but in fairness the put government is to be judged
rather with reference to the past, and what has been
accomplished, than to the present and the require-
ments of the times. The popular and I must say
vulgar course is to reverse this, and pronounce
utter condemnation because all is not perfect."

THE 62.141' GLOM&

Another attraction has been added to the nosey
which had already been provided Ly Mr. Wyld for the grati-
fication and instruction of the numerous visitors to the Great
Globe, in Leicester-square. But a short time since a dio-
rama of Lucknow and Delhi, consisting of eve vary Wand-
fully executed tableaux, and affording a very striking picture
of the mosques and temples, the palaces and mairlieumn
with which those sties abound, was presented at this este.
t lishment to public view, and drew thousands of spectators.
Mr. Wild, however, hu not been satisfied with this
very successful effort to depict the principal hatter of a
country in which so much of interest at the present
moment centres. A new grand diorama of the chief sites
and scenes of the great Sepoy rebellion in India, from the
mouths of the Urges to the Himalaya Mountains, has been
produced alder his auspices., and with marked success. The
cities, temples, forte, mountains, and inhabitants of iiindoataa
an there vividly delineated, and r the several drawings are
taken from the original sketches made by competent persons
—eegaged in the Bast India Company's service—on the spot,
the general accurst, of this liberation of Indian life and
scenery may be relied upon. Among the principal places of
interest which it presents to the view are Calcutta, with its
native sad European shipping, its native water•cartfere sad
native horsemen ; Cavrapors, with a sketch of the wake-
manta sad intrenclusents by moonlight; Agra, Delhi, Luck-

INQUEST.

An adjourned inquest was held last night at the
Flower of Kant Tavern, New Cross, touching the death of •
manure merchant, named Williams, who had recently lodged
in the Fkeenee-road, at the house of • Mrs. Newton, where
he died suddenly_ in a It, accompanied with much vomiting.
Mr. Checks Hsieh, learomer on chemistry at the Middlesex
Hospital, stated that he had tested a portion of the stomach,
which had been sent to him. Part of the stomach had been
out away, and there were no contents. In what had been
enbmitted to him he had found no trace of poison, except the
very slightest of mercury, which might have been produced
by a pill. There wee in the tailraces and other symptoms
=enflamed in the death of the deceased nothing to indicate
atrenine.
Oiddy, of Twickenham, brother-in-law of diseased,
stated that ha was of molt eccentric character.
The deceased's son stated that he knew who "Elizabeth"
was.

The Coroner read the following entry in deceased's letter-
book from his ofßoe fa liark-lane, dated November 12, which
was a math before his death .—" Elisabeth told roe some
time shoes that she would certainly giro me strychnine acme

There were other papers with soroennaccountable statements
by deceased. One of them was to the effect, that his will
was with )Iles Williams, hie niece, with whom he had for-
merly resided. That lady now denied, through her solicitor,
that she had any kind of will belonging to the deceased.
The jury returned an open verdict, and the coroner having
remarking upon the unsatisfactory nature of the inquiry the
proceedings terminated.

STRIKE AT THE If.4.NCH.EBTIE WORICROUSI

roar.

On Wednesday there was again an outbreak of
discontent amongst the pauper labourers employed on the
Manchester Workhouse Farm, at Crewman ; and yesterday
morning they suspended, work, and marched down in a body
to the workhouse in Bridge-street. The board of guardians
were holding their weekly meeting, and a deputation of six
of the man were admitted. They node • turkey at am-
pleats, chkfly that they were ordered to work wham snow
was on the ground, that they were not sufficiently paid for
their labour, and that the articles of food given them as
relief in kind were not of the value represented. Mr. C. H.
Rickards, who presided, censured the men for coming
down is • body, as the guardians woad not yield to any
attempt at intimidation. If the men bad any complaints '
they ought to have brought them before the committee, who
met at the farm on the previous day. The farm bailiff would
exercise his discretion as to when they should work. The
law did not allow payment of wages tor the labour of pan-
=and the amount of relief must be left to the relict
Mr. Hooosov. deputy chairman, stated that everything
supplied to the labourers was of the best quality, and was
supplied at a rather lower most than it could be pparc at
the shops. Samples of all the articles were aced. The
interview lasted for a considerable time, and the men ulti-
mately returned to the farm, on the understanding that they
should have thigir dinner given to them as usual, and must
conform to the rules kid down by the guardians.

THE L 31742217.

In comsequence of the comparative mildness of the
weather yudeday, Mr. Brunel end his mutants were ena-
Wed to toners their operations under very favourable arts-
pies& The kormidable array of naming brasiers, which had
been rendered seameary by the frost of the previous day,
were wholly dispensed with, and the rams were an einual-
temeonely put in action at nine o'clock in the morning. It
he. now been ascertained that the vessel moves at • preemie
of 12 cwt. on the circular inch on the Urge ram, and of
25 cwt. on the smaller, so that, a white flag being waved the
moment that pressure has been reached, the visitors are pre-
pared, and each MOCCONIATO move of the huge mass is die-
tinctly observable. These moves continued throughout the
day with conadderable regularity, with interval, of from ha
to twenty minutes between each, the time required for the
new packing of the rams. Sometimes a greater pause occurred
when • beam of timber prized up under the extraordinary

DIRECTION OF LETTERS FOR LONDON 4ND
ITS INi'IRONS.

The Poetmtutter-General her again called attention
to the fact that, in order to promote rapidity and correctnese
in the delivery of letters, London and its environs have, for
puttredpurpoers, been divided into ten districts, each to be
in many respects as a separate town. To render
this amuigement effectual, he earnestly requests that every.
means may be taken by the public for causing letters to be
directed aocording to the district for which they are in•
tended.

11uiinitials of the name of such district will suffice buts
if preferred, any other contraction, or the name in full, may
•
be used instead.

I¢ the direction of a letter, the initials, or Initial, ss
case may be, should be legibly written In a separate line,
and should in all 0611011 end the address, as shown in the
following example :
James Thompson. Esq.,
500, Piccadilly,
London,
W.
except when the letter is posted in a London district, and
then the word London may be omitted.
The London Directory, the Court Guide, the Law List, and
the Parliamentary Companion for 1858, will, it is understood,
have the initial letters appended to every address.
Information w to the district in which any part of Looks
or its environs is included may also be obtained in either al
the following publications, which can be procured at every
heed post-offioe and every London District Receiving.

It has been suggested to residents in London and the
neighbourhood that they should give the initials of the die.
trict in which they live whenever they communicate this
own addressee either in the inside of letters or in any dim
way ; and it is hoped that their correspondents will careful,
repeat the initials so given when directing letters in reply,
A careful attention to this request is the mon imperial
because, commencing with the Ist Febraavy neat, the hi•
lowing rule will be observed with regard to all mails melt-
ing London after the first morning delivery, viz. : —Whoa
any of the., mail/ entre at such an hour that it is possible
to include part bat not the whole of the letters in the sat

THE IMPENDING BANK COMIIITTEL—The whole

sible, than ever before; and though we cannot expect a great
deal of new light, we may perhaps hope to have some. We
should opeotally hope that we shell not have on any Arturo
occasion the clean of theortsta who have beset no lately, end
who maintain that the government relaxation of the Act of
1844 is • debasement of the currency, and yet do not dare
distinctly to impugn its propriety; with mush epeenktore
there ought to be no argumentative quarter. A debasement
of the currency is • measure which can never be right under
any imaginable conjuncture of events it is a violation of •
fundamental maxim of morality. We can imagine many
rewritings under many circumstances for a suspension cf
cash payments , unfortunate events may

be emissary to postpone all creditors, to avoid an
unequal preference of some few. But we can imagine
no cfrcumetsumes in which it would be right to com-
to weep little shillings instead of large obit-

ought to have opposed it with a far greater declaim and
explieltnese. As • matter of Lot, we apprehend. however,
that the practical good same of the most accoorplithed el

4LDERBHOTT.

The three divisions of this rrent, stationed at
Bradford,Ashton, and Burnley, have been removed by orders
from the Horse Guards to Mainsheet. It will be renembered
that then man have masted disturbances in all the three
towns where they have been quartered, at Burnley and
Bradford using their bayonets freely. At Antics they had
only their belts to use in thdr attack upon the Inhabitants,
and bad the worsted the encounter, inanyot than being severely
handled, of whom twelve were taken before the magistrates
end committed for trid. When the intelligence first became
known that orders had been received from the Horse Guards
to remove the regiment to Aldershott, it was understood that
the three divisions of it were to be first concentrated at Ash-
ton, and the soldiers stationed at the latter place expressed
their determination, when joined by their comrade* from
Burnley and Bradford, to take a full revenge
upon the inhabitants. In ocean:mecca of this design be-
coming known to the authorities, the Mayor of Ashton
took steps on Wednesday to avert the possibility of such a
oolliaion by communicating with the oMosrs of the regiment,
and with Liatt.-General Sir Harry Smith, commandant of
the district. The result was that Sir Harry Smith took the
precaution of sending a troop of dragoons from Manchester
to overawe any attempt of the kind threatened, but the
neomidty of their presence had meanwhile been removed by
the Ashton detachment of militia being marched from their
barracks to the railway station at Stalybridge, instead of
that at Aaluon, where a train was in waiting for them. By
this manteuvre the soldier, were kept clear of the town (the
herracks being situate on the Stalybridge side of Ashton),
and any attempt at disturbance was avoided. The portions
of the regiment at Bradford and Burnley were also sent
forward without dipping at Ashton.

THE NEWS FROM INDIA.

LIVERPOOL, THETIODAT.—A universal feeling of
regret spread over the entire community when the Indian
news was made public this morning, announcing the death
of the brave General Havelock and the reverses sustained by
General Wlndhant's division. In compliment to the memory
of the demand hero the ensign at the Town-hall was hoisted
half-mast high, and the sympathy expressed was general,
that he was not spared even too long as to know the value the
country *teed upon his valuable and gallant services.
MANCIIESTER., THURSDAY.—Great regret was felt
In all circles this morning as the news of General Havelock's
death and the distater of General Windham beam, known.
Great expectations had been formed of the latter °Meer so
that the news was regarded as almost equal to the lose
of both.

The nobles of Podolia, Volhynia, and of the
Ukraine have followed the example of those of the govern-
ments of Wilna, Rowno, Grodno, and St. Petersburg, and
have addressed a memorial to the Emperor praying for the

of their aer6.

A letter from Berlin states that M. Tachmaan,
one of the principal bankers of that city, has just failed, with
Lehi:hiss amounting to 800,000 thalami. This blinker 111 the
fsgmr-in-law of lifdlle. Wagner, the celebrated Boger. The
journals of Berlin—with much sellishneas--oonsole them-
selves for this calamity which has fallen on the family of
their prima donna, by saying that there will now be no
danger of her quitting the stage.
___

A trial of some interest will come on for hearing
in a few days before the First Chamber of the Civil Tribu-
nal of the Seine. The responsible editor of the Paris
Noreiffitr has been summoned to show cause why be should
not be condemned to notify certain aneartions contained la
the numbers of the 27th July and 3rd August, 18.57, which
have been considered by the family of Lieut.• General Vis-
count Pelleport, as calumnious and as attacking the military
honour of that officer.

Adricee from Copenhagen state that a law, dated
Dec. 2S, had just been promulgated, allowing interest at a
higher rate than four per cent., the legal rate in Denmark,
to be taken in pursuance of private coatracte, but the mea-
sure is only proviaised.

The Patin Univers, replying to the Slide, de-
ities that say single case has occurred in Piedmont of "ex-
communication" having been threatened against any in-
dividual fur the mere feet of his abstaining from voting,
or for voting against non-Catholic deputies or deputies
notoriously hostile to the church. It admits that bishops,
in their pastoral letter, told the electors that if they were
guilty of either of those sins of omission or commission
they would commit a "grave fault," and that such an
expression, when used by spiritual authority, Is understood
by all Christians to mean a " mortal sin, which kills the
sour, separates it from God and the spiritual body of the
church, and render* it li►ble to eternal punishment," But
"excommunication" it defines to be an external manifests•
lion, by which the church makes it known that an indi-
vidual has, by his own voluntary act, cut himself off from
her communion.

DELIVERY OF 1)47 NAIL LETTERS.

The day mail letters brought by the London sad
North Western Railway reach St. Martina-le•Grand about
11.30 a.m. As it wee found to be impossible to prepare the
whole of there letters for the twelve o'clock delivery, the
make has been to amid out those for the City (with some
exceptions) at twelve, and those for all other parte of Loudon
at one o'clock.

—Arrangements, however, have now been made for in-
cluding the whole of these letters in the twelve o'clock deli-
very, provided they are properly addressed to the postal dim-
trkte for which they are iatuded, as in that case they will
undergo a preparatory easortment before reaching London.
Any letters not so addressed, whether for the City or other
parte of London, will be wholly sorted at St. Martin's-le-
Grand and sent out at 1 p.m.
This arrangement will come into operation on the let of
February next. At the same time, a similar rule will be ex-
tended to the numerous mails reaching London in the after-
noon. Thus, whenever, from late amval or other cause, it is
possible to include part, but not the whole, of the letters in
the next delivery, a selection for such &Every will be made
of those properly addressed to the postal districts.
It is suggested, therefore, that in the mean time, every re-
sident in London, who desires to secure an early delivery, in
cane, of the large class of letters referred to, should be
especially careful to act on the recommendation in the notice
of December, 1856 by making the name of his postal district
part of his own
and,
in tho inside of letter, or in
any other way; and, en necessary, by calling the atten-
tion of his correspondents thereto, so u to induce them to
address their letters fully.
As already notified, the name of the district may be in-
dicated by the initials, or any other contraction, or may be
given in full ; and, especially when forming part of the ad-
dress outside the letter, it should be legibly written in a
separate line and should, in all cases, end the address, as
shown in the following example ; otherwiee, in the burry of
business, it may be overlooked :

The London Directory, the Court Guide, the Lew List, and
