THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA.

The following is au extract from a private letter,
dated Philadelplik, December 7 :
Until now public affairs have looked so very gloomy that I
could not bear to speak of them, and to omit what amnia§
all ones thouibta awned most unnatural. Now, however,
when everything appears to be going right and loyally, is
resuming thoughts and courage iu many portions of the
seceded States, I feel that "the uprising of a great people"
way bespoken of with pride and hope, sod that this most un-
righteous rebellion may be put down and a pesos conquered.
There is great anxiety felt as to the course England will
take in the matter of Macon and Slidell. We cannot afford
to talcs another quarrel on hand just now. To ine a war with
England is the next worst thing to a civil war at home, for
I believe I stn more than h►lf English is my feeling' ; but
the folks who profess to know say that there are so many
precedents of the British lion taking the prey out of the
claws of the eagle, or attempting to do so, that the prole-
bility is that the whole matter will be dielocnatically
settled. We all feel however that the New York Herald
and the London Times will do all in their power to cause
war.

In consequence of the epidemic sometime since
amongst silkworms in France, Lombardy, and other places
in Europe, large numbers of silkworm eggs hare been im.
ported these places from the Mores, Adrianople,
Persia, and China. The eggs from China are sent
rid Sao Francisco. A consignment of 1,800165. of these
ergo—which would contain upwards of 860,000,000 in num-
ber—vim expected at the above•narned port a sheet time
since. Silkworm egg, am worth about 13s. per lh. in China,
and from two or three guineas per lb. in Europe. France
yearly consumes the product of 64,000161. of silkworm eggs,
and Lombardy the product of 140,00011n.—Coliforaian

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 27, 1861

THE
CHRISTMAS ENTERTAINMENTS.

We do not recollect to having seen a more general
suspension of Wainer on " Boxing.*" than that which
prevailed yesterday. The holiday keepers were fortunate in
the weather; for excepting a slight fog which partially
enveloped the metropolis in the rooming, it was all that
could be desired by those wham testes led them out of
doom-tad these wee not a few, for over 39,000 visited
the Crystal Palace alone. The Zoological Gardens and other
places in and about London in which out-of.door amuse-
meets were offered had also a goodly number of visitors,
The great Ohm:ties, however, was of course the theatres
in the evening.

raising words and phrases, Mr. William Brunet has ac-
quired marked distinction, Dot only in conjunction with his
late brother but by himself. The extravaganza which lad
night saw the gas for the first time will fully sustain his
reputation.

STRAND.

The Christmas entertainment at this favourite
resort of the lovers of dramatic fun has been well selected,
sad may be pronounced a complete emcees. The opening
piece yesterday evening being the comedietts of Obseresami
and "nation, it was succeeded by a fairy burlesque extra-
vaganza, from the pen of Mr. Henry J. Byron, entitled
Pais in a New Pair of Boole, in which all the comic forte
of the establishment has fell play. The plot is familiar
in nursery lore, deviating but slightly from Qs
original basis. The several parte Sr. well-sneteined
throughout, while the ballet, singing, and scenery are ex-
ceedingly effective. Puss is admirably represented by Min
Saunders, and the Ogre is almost equal to the monster of
juvenile imagination. Another merit, which belonP Mil-
lis/1y to this author, is that the piece is of very niedsrate
length, and coming as it does between the °peeing and
concluding parte of the evening's programme, terminates
soon after 10 o'clock. The concluding performance was
The Meal Welke, by the same author as the estrum-
pass.

The pantomime at Astley's le founded on the
well•keown story of Jamey Gilpie's tide, so amusingly
told by Cowper. In the story the hone takes Jobasy
faster and farther than he iotended to go, being impelled
by the awkwardness of the rider, but in the pamkerainze,
el course, sprites and fabies are the directors of lie move-
ments, and the cootrollits of his destiny. The louse
wee well filled, and the pantomime woe well received, the
traasformation scene which is really beautihd, asigig
forth great plaudits.

DRURY-LANE.

The title of the pantominie at thin theatre is
Harlequin and the Moore that Jack heat ; or, Old Mother
Hubbard and her Wonderful Dog, and is the production of
the regukr pantomime* writer of the theatre, Mr. Blanchard.
There won a tremeadeue kale ; sad it say be mistimed
that " God Save the Queen," elm played at the sod of she
overture, was received with etearig fading by the audinuie,
and on their uDequivocel dewed played a seeded time.

ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA, 00VENT-GARDEN.
The entertainments here were the Pitritam's
DougAter and the pantomime, Ifierkapk, asikwer.
near esmi ea mierimone boom crowded from the or-
shartra to the highest regime. The Open was mock cur-
tailed foe the sake of the pantomime ; too much cast ailed,
we thought, for it was performed with great spirit and
effect, and most warmly applauded from beginning to sod.
We regretted the minion of several MOMS= which have
hum specially distinguished by the favour of the public, pm,
tioalarly Mies Louisa Pyse's meg, " Pretty, modest, lowly
Swenor," which ie the gem of the open-- the of the best
Llano that Balfe has ever written—and which the fair
sonipitrees warbles with incomparable brilliancy and beauty.
The potassium is from the practised pen of Mr. J. M.
Mortca.

The transformation scene, which, as usual, forms the
coonectiog ►ink henries the drama sod the harlequinads,
is of such marvellous brillisocy—so nch and gorgeous—that
it is quite sufficient, of itself, to draw crowds to the theatre
for many night. to come. Certainly we have never before
seen on the stage aoy such combinations of light and colour.
The scene represents the bottom of the ma, with shells,
groves of coral, and the other objects which poets describe
as filling the caves of the ocean, and moo( them sea
nymphs mimed in making their toilet. Never boa the
pencil of Callcott been more truly magical.
The last pert of the performanos—the harlinninsda--
was very good ; but such things are an alike, and their
constant sameness shows peat poverty of invention.
The pantomime characters, however, were excellently
sustained. There were two Hialequise—Mmars. F. Payne
and 8. Lauri ; two Clowns—Messrs. H. Payne and E.
Lan ; Mr. H. Lauri warn Pantaloos, sod Miss Jenny Laud
Columbine. We should have said before that the character
of Gulliver was performed by Mr. W. H. Palos, and that
Mr. F. Payne was Mrs. Gulliver.

UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW.

The Senates Adolemicus of the Glasgow Univer-
sity have agreed to the following address:
"May it please your Majesty,—We, your Majesty's
most loyal and dutiful subjects, the yrincipal soil
professors of the University of Glasgow, in Senate as-
sembled, desire humbly to offer the expression of
our condolence on the irreparable calamity that has be-
fallen your Majesty, your royal children, end the whole
nation, to the lamented death of his Royal Highness the
Prinre Consort.

" Profoundly do we sympathise with your Majesty in
your sorrow for the Intl. of the amiable partner of your life.
whose affectien and counsels have cheered and Arengthened
your Majesty through so many years of your happy and
prosperous reign ; and with your royal children. who have
been deprived of the guidance and protection of an affec-
tionate father, whose prudence, discretion. and wisdom have
been .13 noospicuously displayed in the discharge of every

HAY NAILICET.

Mr. Buckstone make. two very wise arrange-
mints for Boxing-night. He bogies his evening with en
mthrtainment whisk is so good that no oasis in an unseemly
burry for the pinteminie, and he makes his pantomime,
when it coma resod, Joel the sort of thing which chiles.
and yeses peel& Ms, with a nice juvenile story, beautiful
soseery, and plenty of tumbling aid dancing by the dra-
matis persona,. Mr. Sterling Coyee's comedy of Mirk
Steep was immensely relished yesterday evening. The
ladies, Mesdames Young and Wilkins acted splendidly:
Mr. Compton was as dry and la humorous as usual, and the
lesnee himself acted in a manner showed how little he re-
flected that it would be his painful duty to spend the kat,
part of the evening in a stets of frantic collision with
the corpeMene and soenselofters. Everybody wee
died before the curtain at the end of the
play, and nobody skewed any impatience for the panto-
mime. The latter, however, was quite up to the Hay-
market standard of excellence. The innocent love of " MillP
buffet " for the " Little Boy Blue" was the theme, and
it was worked out with a eompletesses and splendour
which most have delighted the whole juvenile audience.

" While in this sad event every civilised land mast lament

untimely decease of one whose peat abilities and acquire-

of Paris ; I can only add to what I have already stated that
whoa the conference met the French Minister for Foreign
Affairs on the authority of his official despatches, stated that
serious apprehensions of another outbreak were entertained
in Syria—of another outbreak the moment the French troops
were removed. That statement having been laid before the
conference, the Turkish ambassador mid, on the other
baud, that he believed the tranquillity of the district to
have been restored, that the Turkish power was quit* suS-
cieut to maintain it, and that be saw no reason why the
occupation should not end at the time appointed. At •
further discussion the ambassador of Austria, wishing to
maintain the independence of Turkey, said that some time
might be fixed when the Lebanon was more tranquil, until
which the French troops should remain, and suggested that
the let of May should be fixed. The Turkish ambassador
received the proposition, and was willing to transmit it to
his court for consideration, and there the matter rests ; the
proposal has been transmitted, but at the Turkish court
nothing has been decided. I quite agree as to all that has
been said of the expediency of an early evacuation. (Hear,
bear.) We must, of course, act partly for ourselves, but
partly in combination with the other great powers, more
especially with Austria, which in these and all former dis-
cussions has shown • sincere desire to maintain the inde-
pendence of Turkey. I say nothing of other powers, but I
believe that Austria is sincere in her good wishes.
I will certainly use my beat endeavours to put an end to
this occupation. I believe it was useful at the beginning,
not only in the places I have mentioned, but in other parts
of the Turkish empire, when there was a notion that but
for it MSSllilereS might have occurred which would have
dreadful

boon atteadod with .... cwlequeneee to Turkey
Now, however, the clangor and the mosaics& have puled
away, sod I wish to see the commotion at an sod.
Mr. & FITZGERALD explained that the podia to whom
he alluded was the present, not the late Governor of
Damien,.

ItiaiitTINGILLM said that the explanation of the
noble lord opened much wider gnostical; than the occupation
of the Lebanon. He believed if • policy of non-inter-
vention bad been followed in the case of Turkey as in that
of Italy, the Turks would have been quite able to manage
their own affairs. The real European question was which
power should have the initiation in a scheme of European
policy, and the French Emperor, in seeking to obtain that
initiation, was only maintaining properly the honour of his
nation. He (Mr. Coningham) complained that bar Ma-
jerky's government pursued • timid and paltry policy, aiding
with liberty in one place and despotism in another and he
trusted they would change it for • bold and straightforward
one, not only in Italy, but throughout the weld.

[Left speaking.]

There is no doubt that M. de Larochejaquelin
will conclude by moving an amendment in favour
of the Pope. The Opinion Nationale has reason to
think, but " does not warrant the perfect accuracy
of its information," that as many as 80 senators
have concurred in an amendment. I think this
must be a misprint for 30.
The Opinion Nutiohale, while approving of the
firmness and moderation of the government in the
affair of the Bishop of Poitiers, observes that it is
cherishing a great delusion if it supposes that
measures against particular individuals will reduce
the opposition of which Rome is the centre.
"On ne ninon jamas les Romanis quo dens Rome."

Let the Emperor withdraw hie trooPetrom
Rome, and the French bishop. will give him no
trouble.

The Preaae observes, on the address of the Corps
Legislatif, that although the style is firmer the
ideas are just as vacillating as those in the whines
of the Senate. There is, in fact, no idea in either
the one or the other. They merely say to the
Emperor, " Sire, all that you have done is well ;
do whatever you please for the future."
The settlement at the Bourse has turned out
rather against the " bears." The &site rose 25c.,
both for cash and account, closing at 68fr. 10c.
and GBfr. 15c. Mobilier rose 7fr. ISOc. In rail-
ways there was little change. The Caine Mires
left off at yesterday's price, 100 fr.
One of the famous white bulls from the Duke
of Hamilton's park arrived safely at the garden
of acclimation on Saturday, as a present from his
grace to that interesting establishment I am
sorry to hear that of the large flock of alpacas
which excited my admiration last autumn only
eve have survived the winter. It is not, however,
the cold that kills them, but the want of congenial
food.

COLONIAL WOOL SALES.

The colonial wool sales commenced yesterday. The
catalogues comprised the following : 227 bales
Sydney, 959 bales Port Phillip, 32 bales Van Die-
men's Land, 81 bales New Zealand, 1,557 bales
Cape of Good Hope. There was a fair attendance
of buyers, but the prices realised show a reduction
from those of November and December as follows :
—Sydney, ld. per lb., and Port Philip ld. to lid.
per lb. For wowed there was less demand, sad
about 400 bales were withdrawn in consequence.
Cape, hand washed and scoured, were lid. lower,
and a portion was withdrawn, whilst the greasy
and other descriptions were id. to id. lower. New
Zealand realised nearly former prises. The wools,
however, were mostly a very indifferent selection,
which even in good times would be difficult to sell ;
consequently to-day's sale can hardly serve as a cri-
terion as to how prices are likely to rule generally
throughout the series. The quantity to be brought
forward in the present sales le—Sydney, 6,191
bales ; Victoria, 24,498 bales ; Van Diemen's Land,
469 bales ; Adelaide, 8,451 bales ; New Zealand,
1,129 bales; Cape of Good Hope, 14,693 bales;
total, 55,421 bales.

THE MURDER OF AN ANIELIOAN CAPTAlN.—Yes-
terday the inquest on the body of Captain I'yke, who was
murdered on board the American ship General Parkhill, off
Point Lynes, on Monday evening, as reported by us yester-
day, was opened before the Liverpool borough coroner, P.
F. Curry, EN. Mr. Deightoa, solicitor, appeared to watch
the case on behalf of the American Consul. The coroner,
in opening the proceedings, explained the difficulties which
be laboured under on account of international law, and
nand that he had consulted some of the most reliable

it was his duty to bold an inquest, and he had accordingly
determined to do so. He should, however, only ask the

MANUFACTURE OF FOREIGN NOTES.

Mr. WHITE asked the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs whether the alleged manufacture of notes in this
country, in the name of Hungary, had been brought to the
notice of her Majesty's government by the government of
A.ustria, and what steps had been taken thereupon by the
order or advice of her Majesty's government.

Lord J. RUSSELL said the manufacture of notes in this
country bearing the signature of Kossuth and the royal
animal Hungary had been brought to the attention of
her Majsaty's government by the Austrian ambassador on
the fith of last month. The question was immediately re.
ferret to the law officers of the crown, who gave their
opinion that on the evidence laid before them it would be
hardly possible to obtain a conviction, although they con-
sidered the fabrication of those notes was against the law of
this country, but they did not think there were any means
of obtaining the destruction of those notes. In accordance
with their advice he wrote to the ambassador of Austria in
London to say that her Majesty's government were unable
to take any steps on the subject. The Austrian ambassa-
dor thereupon wrote. saying be hoped her Maiesty's go-
vernment would consider that he was justified iu taking any
steps he thought fit, and be (Lord J. Russell) told him he
was quite free to do so.

menta Already, indeed, the old soldiers of the
Russian army display a spirit unknown to it before
the Crimean war. We have heard from those;who
have mingled in its ranks that there exists no
longer the same adoration of the Czsa, the same
prostration before their officers, the same humble
contentment with their miserable fare. The eman-
cipation of the serfs must be followed by
regulations doing for the serf soldier some-
thing tantamount to what is done for
the serf peasant. Most of the plans proposed
would increase by one-third the expenses of the
Russian army. Its needy Government is not
prepared for such a change, and whatever
it may intend, it cannot reckon, even in a
Polish war, upon the same devotion on the
part of the soldiers which wan shown at
Sebastopol. But these and similar considera-
tions, whilst they lessen the chances of Russian
success in forcibly putting down insurrection, will,
no doubt, also suggest the necessity of averting
or extinguishing it by milder, or perhaps by in-
sidious means.

PROPERTY AND INCOME T4l.

Lod evening a meeting of the Committee of the
Prerty and Income Tax Association was held at the
wuill.lCotfee-house, to coosider " what steps shall be
taken to a reduction of the tax on pre.airions incomes,"
and in the circular convening the meeting the members
were urgently requested to attend, "s U....jut...1i0n of the
adjustment of the income tax had Leen 1... w again brought
prominently before parliament, I.y Mr. ilubbard's motion
for a select committee." Mr. J. ElineNos, member of the
Common Council, in the unavoidable absence of Sir James
Duke, Bart., M.P., presided.
The CHAIRMAN having briefly opened the proceedings,
Mr. ELT moved a resolution to the effect that the present
mode of charging the same amount of tax on the incomes
derived from trades, professions, ex., as on property, is
mast unjust, and has only been reluctantly submitted to
from time to time under the idea that the tax has been im-
posed for temporary purposes ; and pledgiog the association
to me every legitimate effort to aware a distinction in the
tax, so that the amount to be chargod in future under
liebedeles 1) and E shall not exceed one-half the amount
to be levied on real and funded property. Mr. kit said that
• committee of the House of COIIIIIII.IA having been ap-
pointed to inquire into this important subject, now was the
time for the public to agitate in realest to it, and he urged
all to support the association in their endeavours to obtain
an adjirdment of the tax.
Mr. HIcIIAM seconded the resolution, which was put and
carried unauhnously.
Mr. HIHRAV then proposed the next resolution —"That
in the opinion of this meeting it is also unjust to the owners
of house property let to weekly, monthly, or yearly tenants,
that they should be required to pay the income tax on the
gross rental. And this association highly approves of Mr.
!tabloid's suggestion in the House of Commons, on the
19th February last, that a reduction should be made in the
amount charged on the said proporties Midis extent of one-
sixth ; bet that the reduction should not apply to property
lay oe team."
Mr. /CRAM seconded the resolut ion, which was also earned.
It was thee resolved to hold meetings in all parts of the
country upon the subject.

TRAMWAYS ON PUBLIC THOROUGHFARES.

Mr. MARSHY asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department whether he had mini red the expediency of
proposing to parliament some mesanre far enabling muni-
cipal bodies and other local authorities having control of
highways to lay down, or to consent to the laving down of
tramways Oil ehteta and other public thoroughfares.
Sir G. C. LEWIS mid that be had been requested to in-

ever, was well worthy consideration.

MM. Jules Fevre, Darimon, Picard, Emile
°Dialer, and Dr. Henon, members of the Opposi-

the address :

"The hour has come for applying to Rome the
wise principle of the system of non-intervention,
and, by the immediate withdrawal of the French
troops, to leave Italy mistress of her own dee-
tithes."

In to-day's sitting of tho Senate, paragraphs 5,
6, and 7of the address were agreed to. An amend-
ment of Senator Pietri, referring to the annexation
of Savoy and Nice, was also adopted.
On the paragraph relating to Syria being read,
M. Billault stated that negotiations on the question
of the prolongation of the occupation having com-
menced, it was impossible to enter into any expla-
nations. The Conference would shortly re-assemble,
and there was reason to hope that the mission of
pacification would be continued by France.
The discussion of the amendments relative to
Rome was adjourned until to-morrow.
