hii own resources for success. If it be really so

we may, ere long, expect to hear of some important
movements in the East. The weakening of the

garrison of Eupatoria, and the withdrawing of
troops from the camp before Sebastopol to reinforce
the Turks in Asia Minor, will doubtless be seized
by PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF as a favourable opportu-

nity for commencing offensive operations.. That
he has not done so, before appears strange ; but
his inaction will be accounted for, sooner or later,
in a satisfactory manner. The state of the weather
may be such as to prevent his bringing his artillery
into action, or it may be that he thinks it advisable
to allow the Allies to weaken their strength as much
as they please before he moves. But, unless he
allows GENERAL 11r

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING

The Liverpool Cotton, Corn, and Produce

day.
The. Liverpool Share Market has been exces-
sively flat to-day, sympathising with Consols, and
closed at about the worst point of the day. Sub-

The Madrid Gazette has come to hand, and con.
tains the official notification conceding the forma-
lion of the Spanish Credit Mobilier Bank to M. M.
Emile and Isaac Periere. Its name is to be "The
General Society of Credit," and the concession to
be granted for ninety-nine years. The chief office
is to be at Madrid, and the founders are to have
the power of establishing agencies in the provinces,
and in foreign countries. The operations of the
society are extended to undertaking the construc-
tion and management of railways, canals, docks,
and other enterprises, commercial and industrial.
which may be useful to the public.
Nothing more has transpired concerning the
formation of a French transatlantic steam-boat
company, to ply between Havre and New York.
The commission called by the Minister of Finance
at the former seaport, to examine the several com-
panies who have put forward tenders for this object,
have not come to any conclusion yet, but it is
believed that ultimately it will be a question of
fusion amongst the several companies interested.
There is little doubt but that the formation of such
a company would be advantageous to the trade of
France, but it is a question whether it would
pay. The result of a previous attempt some
years ago was most unsatisfactory, and proved a
losing speculation on the part of the shareholders.
The Revenue Returns for the year for nine months, and
for the quarter ending yesterday,as compared with the cor-
responding periods of the year, 1854, were made up last
night. In the customs, for the quarter, there is a falling
off to the extent of £315,506, as compared with the
corresponding quarter of 1854, but on the year there is
an increase, of £609,283. The excise shows, on the
quarter, the small increase of £53,154, but on the year
an addition of £869,771. The net increase on the
quarter is £321,475, and of the year £133,396. The
large addition made to the revenue, on the year ending
yesterday, as compared with the year 1854, is chiefly
owing to the operation of the double income-tax. Under
that head we have, for the year, no less a sum than
£13,884,114, against £7,366,588, for the year ending
December 31st, 1854; being an increase of no less than
' 1 £6,517,526. •

A letter from Havana, arrived per the America,
announces the arrival at that port of H. 111.5. Solent,
from Vera Cruz, with $2,200,000 for England : $600,000
was on account of dividends.
The English Funds to day, in London, showed
decided heaYiness. The closing quotations were
per cent. lower than those of yesterday, and the
lowest of the day, standing at 87 11-16 87 13-16.
A variety of rumours were in operation to produce
the depression. The hope that a successful
result would ensue from the new Austrian attempt
at negociations for peace, is evidently becoming
fainter. The sum required to be ittised un Den
eiency Bills this quarter, by Government, to meet
the January dividends, is nearly 4,000,0001. The
commercial demand for money continues active,
but the value of money in the Stock Evchange was
rather lower upon Government Securities. At

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.—A great number of persons
were brought before Mr. Mansfield yesterday, charged by
the police with setting fire to their chimneys, for the
purpose of cleaning them. The process, however, proved
to be rather expensive, as well as dangerous; for the defen-
dants were fined in sums of from 2s 6d upwards—whereas,
they could have got the work done for 6d.

THE Llveurool. EXTFINSION BILL.—At the monthly
meeting. of the Birkenhead Commissioners, held
yesterday morning, the chairman, Mr. J. Laird, stated
that there had, on the 28th of Decembir, been a
meeting of the dock bondholders, and that they had
refused to accede to the terms offered for amalgamating
the township wi'h the borough. IThat decision had
been communicated to the Town-clerk, who had written
to say, in consequence of that decision the bill would
not be proceeded with.

FIRE AT THE BRUNSWICK DOCK.—Yesterday IDOTll-
ing,'between the hours of eight and nine o'clock, a fire
was discovered in the Ship Chandler's Stores, in con-
nection with the Brunswick Dock. When first observed
it created-great alarm, as it threatened to be of rather a
fearful character. The alarm, however, having been
given, the engines and reels from the dock station,

Temple-court,-and the West of England, were speedily
on the snot, conducted by their respective superinten-
dents, Messrs. Hewitt and Barrett. The chief constable,
Major Gregg, and a body of police, were also there to
keep order. For some time the fire raged with consider-
able fury, but was soon got under by the praiseworthy
exertions of the fire brigade. The damage is estimated
at about £3OO. The origin of the fire has not yet been
ascertainei, but the loss is fully covered by the insu-
rances which had been made in the Liverpool and Royal
Insurance Companies.

M. Scribe proposes to lay aside the pen he has used for
thirty years so much to the delight of thousands, but we
(Galignan.) must, in truth, add, he has worn it to the
stump. He promises one more comedy, to be called "La
D:rniere Piece."

EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES.OF BONDED STORES AT BRISTOL.
A great sensation has, been produced at Bristol by the

arrest of several parties on a charge of being concerned in
a robbery of wines and spirits to the extent of £2,000 from
he ;bonded cellars of Mr. Alfred Phillips, Small-street.
tie parties charged were Mr. Stephen Bendall, who till
,ntly carried on a large and fashionable business as a
'met in College Green, but who has lately been con-
a shipper to the colonies and Africa; George
Davis, a locker in the Customs; John Simms, a cellarman ;
Kendall, la4e °lief clerk.to Mr. Phillips; and a porter
,a service named Garrett, are also in custody. The
tirs have been examined and remanded.
