THE DAY'S NEWS.

The advises from America, which we publish
to day, are of importance. Specie payments have
keen resumed by the New York City Banks, and by
the majority of the other banks in the State of
New York. There had been no business of im-
portance traasaeted in Congress. The speech of
Senator Douglas, on the President's Message, had
crested some ill-feeling between that gentleman
and the Cabinet, but it was thought that the
breach would be healed up- The Kansas affairs
were yet occupying the chief attention of the
politicians of the States. We learn that Governor
Walker had not been peremptorily dismissed, but
that the threat to do so had been held out by the
Administration. The secretary of the governor, Mr.
Stanton,had, however, been dismissed for having is:
sued a proclamation calling a special session of the
Leoempton Legislature. General Walker was
again at work in Central America. He had suc-
ceeded in landing at San Juan del Norte with 300
=ea, and with 150 mere at Greytown. He had
taken possession of the former place, but was in
Jeopardy ae: the latter. There were both British
and American men-of-war there. The accounts I
from California are of the most cheering nature.
We publish full details of the news received by
the Overland Mail. The accounts per telegraph,
are fully borne out. The relief of Lucknow was
completely effected on the 17th of November, after
severe fighting, and the women and children, sick
and wounded, were removed to Cawnpore. The
lighting at Secunderbagh and Samuch, places
which lie between Alumbagh and Lucknow, is
described in the despatch of the Commander-in-
Chief as the severest he ever witnessed. The
rebels suffered severely. Nothing is said of
Nana Sahib, or his whereabouts ; but Sir Colin
Campbell, with the 12,000 men, was about
proceeding to the reduction of Oude. The
details also mention the manoeuvres which were
used for the relief of the garrison of Neemuch by
Brigadier Stuert's Column, which relief was
effected, after much severe fighting, in which, as
nsual, the heavy loss fell upon the rebels. The
same body of insurgents, comprising the Mehidpore
rebels, who were in great force in that quarter,
were beaten in two engagements at Mundisore, by
a column under Colonel Durand, and the remnant
of them was in occupation of the town and fort of
slundisere, greatly despirited when the latest
accounts left. Brigadier Shower's column was suc-
cessfully engaged in cutting up the insurgents in
the districts south-east of Delhi. Colonel Gerard,
who was ordered to make a demonstration towards
Rewaree, on the 13da November came up with
the Jedhpore rebels at a place called Kanoud,
where he was joined by a detachment under Capt.
Stafford. They immediately attacked the enemy.
The battle lasted all day, but terminated in the
entire defeat of the rebels, who left six guns in our
bands. Colonel Gerard was killed in the action.
The Sanger district was quiet, but altogether in
the hands of the insurgents. A Madras column
was under orders to proceed to it. The military
tribunal at Delhi was active, and many members
of the royal family and household were executed.
The King himself is guardel in his palace. Taken
in its entirety, the news is cheering, although from
all accounts?, the Supreme Government of India
was gaining nothing iu the good opinion of the
Buropean Community.
There is no Continental news of the least im-
portance this morning. Lord Stratford de Rad-
cliffe still remains at Vienna ; and from Turkey we
are given to understand that a reconciliation is
near at hand between the Grand Vizer and the
French Ambassador,

A rather singular speech, as delivered by Mr.
William Makepeace Thackoray, at the London
Tavern, on Saturday night, will he found in ano-
ther portion of to-day's impression.
Our local news this morning is rather meagre.
The investigation at the Police Court, into the cause
of the death of the man Leonard, in Blake-street,
Copperas Hill, has been adjourned. It appears that
the prisoner, Blinkhorn, had a fall out with the
deceased and a brother of his, in a public-house,
en Saturday night. The prisoner, with others,
left, and waited at the corner of the street until

the two former came out, where a further alter
cation ocnirred, and the prisoner struck the
deeeased under the jaw, knocked him down, and
jumped upon him. The unhappy man died
almost 'immediately. The prisoner weie at the
time what is called carters' boots."

The great Slander case, which has been 10 days
before a Dublin jury, has just terminated. Yes-
larday Mr. Armstrong addressed the jury for the
defence. The impression is that the learn©d

gentleman will occupy the court a great portion of
1%-day also. He will be succeeded by Mi.
IrDenougla in reply to evidence for plaintiff, and
its address, it is supposed, will occupy a day and
a 11 alt.; and then follows the charge of the Chief
