MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1857.

THE DAY'S NEWS:

-We to-dav publish full details of news from
Australia and America. By the previous mail we
learned that great controvesy had arisen in Victoria
on the subject of railways, both as to the direction
of the main trunk lines, and the financial and
engineering arrangements, under which the work
should be undertaken. Those questions were in
nrocess of adjustment. The Assembly passed the
bids introduced by the Government, providing for
two lines being commenced simultaneously—one
from Geelong to Ballarat, and the other from
Melbourne to Sandhurst, through Castiemaine—
and also for raising the means, by a loan of
eight millions. A bill to provide for the
elueation of the people had been introduced by
the Attorney-General, It is founded upon the
principles adopted in the New Eng:and States and
in Canada, and there seems a reasonable proba-
bility that it will meet with some support. The
Bill for the Abolition of the State Aid to Religion
had been rejected by the Upper, slier passing the
Lower House. The reports from all the gold-fields
are highly satisfactory. nom New South Wales
the intelligence is not of much importance.
The Arabia arrived here lass evening with
nearly £'350,00.0 sterling in specie and two days'
later news. The English failures in the Amer:can
trade, reported by the steamer Atlantic, caused
a good deal of conversation, but no excitement, in
New York. With the exception of the trouble in
the City Bank of G'asgow, none of the important
suspensions of payment reported were wholly un-
expected. The effect on the Stock Exchange was
scarcely felt adversely.. A most terrific gale, on the
Ohio, had caused the los3 of 100 lives, and the
particulars of the burning of the Raindeer, on the
Mississippi, show that 75 persons met with sudden
death on that occasion. Of political news there was
none stirring of the least consequence, Governor
Walker, of King-as, had reached Sr. Louis on his
way to Washington, to explain his conduct in that
Territory.
The most important news from the Continent
this morning, is to the efr2ct that the Porte has put
an end to the publicity of the sittings of the
Divans. This is not doubtful, and was rather to
be expected, the Porte havinc, remonstrated before
a the subject with the European commission.
The commission apparently disregarded the sere
monstrauces, and the Porte has now, it scents,
asserted, by an act of its own, what it deems to be
its right.

The commercial crisis in the north of Europe
continues, and we are afraid we have not yet seen
the worst of it. The Danish Government
endeavours to assist the Copenhagen merchants
by an advance of £290,000, and the
.Bink of
Luz - U 1 11
in its hands on lle.mburgh now due. At Ham-
burgh no business whatsoever was transacted on
Cuange on Thursday, the congregated merchants'
preferring to discuss the advisability of a State loan
to put an end to their awkward position. Firms
continue to break down at Stettin, Dantzic, and
Kce:iigsburg, and the eff,-:ct of these failures is felt
with particular severity all over Poland. In Berlin
na list of bankruptcies is almost exclusively of
small Jewish firms.

Oißola' despatches from D.dhi, with lists of the
killed and wouucicd, up to the 31st of August, were
published in Friday's Gazette. This period, it will
be observed, is too remote to include the less in
the assault and fall of th.e city. The total loss in
killed and wounded is put down at 2,110 otllocrs
and men, and 263 horses. We suppose that, at the
Least, we must add another 2,000 as the loss after-
wards sustained, and thu-3 the cost of taking aihi
in killed and wounded lies bee,: over 4 000 men.

The Obsennr says that the marriage of the Prig_
eels Royal of EnglanJ, With Pity l FreThrick
William Of PeUF,:iio, is lii Iy to take plam in the
third week of January—probably on Monday, the
1811. The newly-married Peincess will hold a
farewell reception at court, previous to her depar-
ture from Engkifil.

At our Polke C.)ort, on Saturday, the inquiry into
the death of one Itoilerig-, a seaman, who diet from
adeged ill-treatment by c.►itroh and mite of
the Elizabeth, while on the voyage from Africa to
Liverpool, was concluded. One witness was ex-
after which Doctors Wall and Inman gave
their evidence, which went to prove that the death
of Roderigo was accelerated, if riot caused, by the
treatment of the accused. Mr. Mat:sfield committed
the captain-on a charge of manslaughter, and the
mate for an aggravated as;iault.
Mr. Sergeant Piggot, of the Oxford Circuit, has
been appointed Recorder of Hereford, in the. room
of Mr. Horn, who committed suicide.

On Sa'lnrCiay another attempt to launch the
Leviathan. She was moved 6 feet 8 inches nearer
tho river.

PARLIAMENT Will not do anything with the
' Currency. Party must work out our commercial
salvation. The collective wisdom of the State
thinks a Bill of Indemnity will save trade. It is
to replenish the Exchequer likewise. The sitting
of both Houses is to do the rest. This is the
practical specific for social disorganisation ! Mr.
DISRAELI does not appear to have much faith in
this reme, ly. He declares he knows all theory
and practice have to impart. He has the contents
of our monetary blue-books at his finger ends.
He will hear no more of or from committees on
exhausted inquiries. The right honourable gen-
tleman 9nly waits to learn what Ministers have to
propose. If there is to be a repeal of our money
laws, he would not waste time with an indemnity.
The Bank Directors want no justification for an
act which Parliament itself will be constrained to
adopt. The Bank Charter of 1844 is defunct. It
has committed suicide, and the inquest is now
sitting on its corpse. To bring it back to life is
impossible.
,The laws which govern the arterial
action of the animal world forbid it. Parliament
may give life to revolting abortions, but it cannot
bestow activity on a cripple, or vigour on an
Such creations cannot rise above the
