PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Dec. 23.—The preliminaries, as ap-
proved of by the Western Powers on the represen-
tations of Austria, have boon communicated to this
Go sr imeut with an invitation at Ott Fame time 'o
Prussia to advocate their acceptance at St. Peters-
burg. Looking at the two incidents together,
Russia's reported acceptance of the main principle
involved, and Austria's inviting Prussia to back
her representations in St. Petersburg, we must say
either the first comes too soon, or the second comes
to) late. On Thursday last Count Esterhazy, the
Austrian Minister hero, had a private audience of
the King, to which he was introduced by Baron
Manteuffel ; in all probability lie was the bearer of
a letter from the Emperor of Austria to his uncle
on tho subject of the preliminaries about to be
communicated to the Court of St. Petersburg.
The official despatch on the subject was handed to
the King on Tuesday evening, within a very few
hours of its arrival from Vienna. His Majesty,
however, seems to have required twice 24 hours'
time to reflect on the matter before he received the
Austrian Minister. 0n .the same day that Count
Esterhazy was received here by the King (last
Thursday), Prince Labanoff, of the Russian Em-
bassy here, left with despatches for St. Petersburg.
Two Finnish luggers were lately pursued by a
French corvette in the neighbourhood of the Aland
Isles ; one lay to, the other tried to escape ; the
latter was soon sunk by the Frenchman's guns,
and sunk so fast that there was hardly time to save
the crew. To the other the French corvette sent
off her jolly-boat, with an armed crew, to take pos-
session of her. The Finns, however, received them
most hostilely, and killed four of the French crew
with their axes. The lugger's crew was, however,
soon mastered and taken on board the corvette,
brought before a sort of council of war, and con-
demned to be strung up to the yardarm.

DENMARK.

We road in the Independance Beige, under date
Hamburg, Dec. 21 :

" Letters of the 19th received to-day from Copenhagen
mention the probability of the conclusion between Den-
mark and the two Western Powers of a treaty based in
a great measure on the principles of territorial guarantee,
and containing the same reciprocal obligations stipulated
in the treaty signed with Sweden. It is impossible to
deny that the policy of the Scandinavian Governments,
which had maintained during those two years of mari-
time war a system of strict neutrality, has been
deeply modified, as respects Russia, by the sig-
nature of a treaty of this description, in which
it is generally believed at Stockholm that some
secret clauses are inserted with regard to certain con-
tingencies likely to arise out of the war. For the pre-
sent it apps-ars positive that Sweden—and Denmark
will necessarily follow the same lino of conduct—hasnot
bound herself to participate actively in hostile operations
against Russia ; but, should the war recommence in
1856, circumstances may occur which will render all
further hesitation impossible on the part of Sweden.
There is one fact, however, very clear—namely, that
this,lastTower has!evineed, by signing that act, a marked
preference for the Western policy, and that the old al-
liance between the three northern Powers, Russia,
Sweden, and Denmark, is virtually at an end. The
French corvette D'Assas, which returned with the Eng-
lish squadron to Elsinore, where she underwent some
repairs, has sailed for France. During the last fort-
night agents of the Swedish Government purchased
here a large quantity of dry tanned leather, which is
said to be destined for her military armaments."

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

Cape of Good Hope papers of the 27th October
have come to hand. The South African Commer-
oial Advertiser of that date, writing of the condi-
tion of the colony, says—
" Moderate expectations, then, and determined per-
severance, will characterise those governments that may
be destined to claim the glory of civilising the barbarous
tribes of Southern Africa. But the reward will be great
at every stage of the process. The first step is to main•
tain peace. The next to administer justice. To con-
struct roads and open up markets, t ) shape canals and
tanks for irrigation, and whatever induces men to culti-
vate the ground by regular labour, come in due order.
&bolls and churches, and all means of instruction and
discipline for the young, of course no one will need to be
reminded of. All these outward aids are within our
power ; and if they are all skilfully introduced and ex-
tended, without force or violence, all we pray for will
succeed in the fixed order of nature, under the blessing
of God." _

The same journal contains the following intelli-
gence :
" The latest Hong-Kong papers announce that the
barque Julia had been laid on at that port for Algoa
Bay.
" The schooner Charlotte left Table Bay on Wednes-
day for East London ; the Lambert's Bay Packet, for
Christina Bay ; the Eliza Carew, for Mauritius. The
Arlequin left on Thursday for Swansea, with a cargo of
Australian copper and wool. Yesterday the Plantagenet
left for Mauritius.

" The barque Concordia arrived in Table Bay on
Thursday, from Newcastle, with a cargo of coals for this
port. The ship Coromandel left Simon's Bay on Wed-
nesday, for Liverpool.
"Mails for England and St. Helena by the Meteor,
for Mauritius, by the Express, and for. Batavia by the
Maria Charlotte, close this day—the former at ten and
the: latter at twelve o'clock.

" The mail for Algoa Bay and Port Natal, by her
Majesty's steamer Hydra, closed yesterday at half-past
one o'clock. She will, probably, leave Simon's Bay
early this morning. Another mail for Natal is open by
the new schooner Rosebud, which is expected to leave
in about a wcok.

" His Honour the Lieutenant•Govornor has directed it
to be notified in the (lazette that the undermentioned
lights will be exhibited on Flat Island and the coast of
Mauritius from the Ist of December next :—A first-class
revolving catoptric light on Fiat Islands ; a first-class
fixed catoptric light on Cannonier Point ; a red mast
light on the left bank and at the mouth of Grand River;
and a green mast light on Cooper's Island at the mouth
of the harbour.

" The municipality of Graham's Town have called
for tenders from parties willing to erect stores on the
Market-place for the reception of wool.
"A meeting of the subscribers to the Cathcart Testi-
monial Fund wag to have been held at Graham's Town
on the 24th inst., for the purpose of receiving and de-
termining upon certain proposals which the committee
would lay before them."
London, England, 1855-12-26

SWEDEN.

Vienna officicux writers (says a letter, dated
Vienna, Dec. 20), in allusion to the late treaty,
speak of Sweden having adopted the views of the
allies of December with regard to the four points,
and of her being prepared henceforth, like Austria,
to give them her moral countenance and support.
They speak further of a circular note having been
addressed by the Swedish Government to its agents
abroad, announcing its intention to take part in
the solution of the one great complication, by ad-
hering to these views.
The following statements, extracted from the
Swedish paper Norbotten's osten, will be of inte-
rest. Advices from Haparanda (the frontier
town between Sweden and Finland in the Gulf
of Bothnia) mention a new regulation having
been made known there with regard to fo-
reigners travelling into Finland ; in the early
part bf the year it had been ordered that any-
body who came to Finland from Sweden must
remain thore till the end of the summer ;
the present order lays it down that those foreigners
who henceforth visit Finland must remain there
till the end of the war. From a Finland letter
also, in the same paper, it is evident that every-
body there looks forward to Sweden's taking part
in the war, and expects that the common frontier
would be entirely beset with troops. In Finland
the inhabitants were never weary of circulating the
most extraordinary reports about Sweden, each
more extravagant than the other.

THAMES.

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY, WITH VIOLENCE.—Two
determined-looking ruffians, named Williams and Brown,
were brought before Mr. Ingham, charged with assault-
ing and robbing Mr. William Bartram, a tradesman, r!•
siding in Rutland-street, Stepney.
Tbis morning, about half-past one, the prosecutor was
on his way home, when he was accosted by two women,
who made some overtures to him. He repulsed them,
and immediately the two prisoners made a furious attack
upon him and -kicked him, knelt upon his stomach,
and while one of the villains was compressing his throat
and attempting to strangle him, the other extracted his
watch from his fob. A police-constable named Burgess,
No. 70 11, who was in a dark place close to the railway
arch which crosses Leman-street, had his attention
called to a gurgling sound on the pavement epposit.e
under a lamp, and saw the prisoners standing over • the
prosecutor, .Burgess rushed towards them, and the two
prostitutes, confederates of the prisoners, who were
covering their operations, ran away. The prisoners left the
prosecutor and fled, and Brown directly afterwards threw
the prosecutors watch over the fence among some ruins.
Burgess soon caught the thieves and brought them back
to where the prosecutor was lying on the ground welter-
ing in his blood. His head was cut open, there worn
marks on his throat, and lie was in a frightful condition.
It was seine time before be recovereihin senses. The pro-
secutor's watch was recovered, and another one was found
upon him, which, it is strongly suspected, is the produce
of another highway robbery.
In answer to a question by Mr. Ingham, the prose-
cutor said he was first seized by the throat from behind
by two or more persons and they beat me with their
fists.

Mr. Ingham committed the prisoners for trial.

to the lecturer, and the company separated.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1355

We are now approaching the third year of the
War. The inclemency of the season has for the
present suspended active operations, and com-
pelled a temporary armistice. The Allied
Armies, while vigilantly watching the foe, so as to
prevent the possibility of any surprise, are els)
engaged in the more pleasing duty of making
themselves as comfortable as circumstances will
permit, so that they may be enabled to take the
field in the spring with renovated strength and
vigour. The condition of the Allies is indeed
very different from that which excited so many
justly indignant complaints twelve months since.
Having accomplished the arduous task on which
they had entered they aro no longer worn out
with excessive toil, nor are they tantalised by the
prospect of abundance whilst enduring the most
serious privations. They have no longer to en-
counter most fatiguing and dangerous daily work
in the trenches, or to expend their time and
labour in bringing up guns and ammunition, in
place of the provisions and shelter so urgently re-
quired. They are also suitably clothed, and have
not to await the advent of spring for the distri-
bution of their winter garmentF.
So far, then, the condition of our army is as
good as could reasonably be expected. If they
have not all the comforts of home, they hare as
many as could be hoped for under existing cir-
cumstances. But what preparations are making
in France and England for the energetic aud un-
flinching prosecution of the War, in such a
manner as will thoroughly humiliate the pride
and crush the power of Our Gigantic Adversary ?
We have too long endeavoured to bring Russia to
a true sense of her situation by comparatively
gentle means. But honeyed words in the shape
of diplomatic conferences, and even the flinging
of clods and lesidangerous missiles, having totally
failed to subdue her overweening arrogance, we
must now follow the example of the old man in
the fable, and really try " what virtue there may
be in stones !" It is generally supposed that the
recent propositions forwarded through Count
which he is instructed
VALENTIN ESTEaHAZY, or on
to obtain the views of the Cabinet of St. Peters-
burg, will be decidedly rejected ; that the Czars
dares not accept terms which would involve the
complete and unequivocal abandonment of the
traditional policy of Russia inaugurated by
ETER,
and steadily followed up by his predecessors
with greater or less activity. The old Mus-
covite party are still formidable. The truth
has not as yet penetrated into the inmost
recesses of the nation sufficiently to induce
the fanatic population to abandon their long-
cherished views of universal domination —when
the AUTOCRAT, in possession of the Bosphorus
and the Scandinavian kingdoms, with ports on
the Mediterranean, and the Atlantic, and the
North Sea, might dictate to Europe, perhaps to
the world. There is, therefore, no use in persist-
ing in a penny-wise-and-poised foolish policy, in
waging a little war, or allowing the sacrifices we have
already submitted to to be productive of inade-

SWEDEN.

Vienna officieux writers (says a letter, dated
Vienna, Dec. 20), in allusion to the late treaty,
speak of Sweden having adopted the views of the
allies of December with regard to the four points,
and of her being prepared henceforth, like Austria,
to give them her moral countenance and support.
They speak further of a circular note having been
addressed by the Swedish Government to its agents
abroad, announcing its intention to take part in
the solution of the one great complication, by ad-
hering to this() views.
The following statements, extracted from the
Swedish paper Norbotten's Posted, will be of inte-
rest. Advices from Haparanda (the frontier
town between Sweden and Finland in the Gulf
of Bothnia) mention a new regulation having
been made known there with regard to fo-
reigners travelling into Finland ; in the early
part of the year it had been ordered that any-
body who came to Finland from Sweden must
remain there till the end of the summer ;
the present order lays it down that those foreigners
who henceforth visit Finland must remain there
till the end of the war. From a Finland letter
also, in the same paper, it is evident that every-
body there looks forward to Sweden's taking part
In. the war, and expects that the common frontier
would be entirely beset with troops. In Finland
the iuhabita►,ts were never weary of circulating the
most extraordinary reports about Sweden, each
more extravagant than the other.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supply of English wheat on sale to-day was very
moderato, and chiefly composed of Monday's untold sam-
ples. The trado ruled exceedingly heavy, and the quota-
tions were nominally unaltered. . . _

Foreign wheat met a dull inquiry—indeed scarcely a
transaetion took place in it.
Floating ()argues were quito neglected.
Fine barley supported previous rates; other kinds were
very dull.
Malt sold heavily, at the late deeline.
Oats changed hands slowly, at Monday's currency.
Beans, peas, and flour were nominal in price.

that, upon application to the hall-keeper, tickets to the
extent of 200 would be given to poor persons upon ap-
plication, entitling the holders to one pound of beef and
a loaf of bread on Christmas-day. In accordance with

YARMOUTH-DEC. 22.

Very little corn shown this week—only from Camera'
samples. Whoat is rather cheaper for ordinary parcels;
but the best samples are firm, and aro wanted by our mil-
lers. Barley a slow sale, and Is per qr. lower. Beans and
peas fully as dear. Oats in better supply, and ordinal'
lots rather lower.

COLCHESTER— DEC. 22.
The supply of wheat was not so large ; tho condition is
improved by the frosty weather, but the trade was not
active, and last week's prices were barely supported for the
best samples. Barley was plentiful, and may be noted
per sir. cheaper. Beaus and peas wore the turn in favour
of the buyer.

Prices to-daywore as follow :—Wheat, white, 80s to E6s;
red, 72s to 80s ; barley, 36s to 421 s ; oats, 28s to 34s ; !pan'

PRUSSIA.

The following extract from a letter dated Berlin,
Dec. 20th, published in the Emancipation Beige :
" I can, moreover, inform you that the Mini-
sters of the King, as well as his Majesty himself,
have just renewed their efforts at the Court of Rus-
sia, and their language is this time characterised
by much firmness, and I have every reason to be-
lieve that the Czar will be touched by it. Our
statesmen declare loudly that the war has been
provoked by Russia without legitimate motives,
and, the chances of war having been against him,
there is a double reason for him to withdraw from
it honourably. They add that Prussia will not
abandon the system of neutrality she has adopted
irrevocably, even though she saw the number of
the enemies of Russia increase.
"No one here now doubts that Sweden will enter ac-
tively irate the Weetern Alliance. It le even iidAtittecl

We find the following singular correspondence

sary the proceedings should be adjourned, he only pro

data to found ..he necessary papers'upon, which he should
leave with them to fill up and return to him Lefore the
