RUSSIA.

The following letter from St. Petersburg, dated
Jan. 6, has just been received :
The festivities have taken their customary phy-
siognomy, and religious ceremonies, visits, guljanie,
and dinner parties, are the order of the day and
night. A Christmas tree of unusual magnificence
has been despatched to Prince Menschikoff. The
town of Sebastopol has also received a gift. Scarfs,
embroidered with laurels, are at present the fashion
and even children's playthings show the prevailing
warlike mania. In these games, all representing
military scenes, the English and French, asyou may
imagine, get much the worst of it. A Cossack is,
for instance, represented in full charge, with half
a dozen red-coats and Frenchmen transfixed by his
lance.

Can what is reported to-day be true—that the
Court is inclined towards peace ? Or is it a brilliant
but hollow glass bubble, to be hung ou the Christ-
mas tree of the people ? If we merely obtain time
by peace conferences, whereby Austria is of course
prevented from action, and must for months sacri-
fice her pecuniary resources to the support of the
army, the gain for us will be immense.

Both here and in Gatschina church parades have
taken place. In the following year a universal
war tax is to be collected, but in what manner has
not been decided in the Ministry of War.
General Dannenberg had arrived in Odessa.
General Read, governor of the Transcaucasian
provinces, was expected there, obviously to confer
on the campaign in Asia, which will commence in
July or August.

COURT OF ALDE.RMEAT.

Yesterday a court, which was numerously attended,
was held for despatch of public business.
The first portion of the sitting was occupied by a
lencthy motion of which Alderman Wilson had given
notice, condemning
.Alderman Sidney, and imputing
motives to him on account of a notice of motion which
he gee in November last, and in which, the policy of
Lord Aberdeen was censured. Alderman Wilson's
motion found little favour with the members of the
court.

Alderman FAREBROTITEM hoped that AldermanWilsOn
would withdraw his motion, and that the court would
consider that Alderman Sidney had acted inadvertently
in briu,;ing a political subject before the court.
Alderman COPELA.ND said that Alderman Sidney bad
a right to withdraw the motion, of which he had given
notice, if lie thought proper, and having done so, it was
an act of discourtesy to hiss either to discuss its merits
or to advert to it in his absence. Nothing was more
censurable than to attack a man in his absence, and he

thought that Alderman Sidney was net well used in the
debate which took place in that court is reference to
the withdrawal of his motion, and it ought to be a source
of some consolation to him to know that whilst not only
his brethren, but also the press censured him for the line
he had taken, a few days afterwards the daily papers
censured the minister of the crown in exactly the same
way that the alderman had previously done.
After a few words from Alderman WILSOX, the mo-
tion was withdrawn.

A report was read on the state of the debtors inWhite-
cross-street Prison by the governor. It appeared that
on the-15th inst. there were 234 prisoners in confine.
ment, of whom $i were women. The total number com-
mitted in the course of the' year win 1,932, being an
increase of 220 on. the preceding year. During the
year 169 prisoners have been aided by the prison chari-
ties at a cost of 985/. ; 41 by the Craven-street Society,
and 13 by grants from the Unclaimed Fund, belonging
to the Insolvent Debtor's Court, making a total of 223
debtors whose discharge has been obtained by chari-
table assistance, in addition to which the liberation of
many prisoners has been effected by personal exertion
where the health of the parties has been bad, or some
peculiar circumstance in the cases called for special in
terference. The governor says :—" I am gratefal at
being able to report that a larger number of the in-
mates have availed themselves of the privilege of work-
ing in the prison-shop, and that the increased accommo-
dations afforded by your honourable court has been
duly appreciated by them."

METROPOLITAN SEWERS COMMISSION.

A. special Court was yesterday held, at the principal
office, in Greek-street, Soho-square, for the, purpose of
considering various important propositions. The atten-
dance of Commissioners was very numerous, and the
chair was, as usual, filled by Mr. Jebb.

ODESSA.

JAN. 2.—Prince Menschikoff (says the corres-
pondence of the Allqemeine Zeitung) can with dif-
culty feed the troops around him, and yet he in-
cessantly demands reinforcements, more especially
since he has ascertained with certitude that a
Turkish corps of 30,000 or 40,000 men strong will
be landed at Koslov (Eupatoria). The Turks will
play there the role performed a short time ago by
Liprandi, in his position to the rear of Balaklava.
As the operations of the Allies were checked and
hemmed in by Liprandi, so will the movements of
Menschikoff be restricted and hampered. Every
vulnerable point is therefore being looked to, and
the works of defence around Perekop and Simphero-
pol are being recommenced with vigour.
The forces which are being despatched. to Prince
Menschikoff are anything but choice troops ; all
those that could be spared here and in Bessarabia
are already in Sebastopol. If the troops already
at the onset of their march have no imposing as-
pect, what a scene of misery must they present on
arriving at their destination ! It is impossible to
describe the extreme hardships over which these
poor fellows must triumph. Hitherto waggons
were employed in transporting them, but that is
now utterly impossible, as the frost has not even
improved the condition of the roads. lam assured
that above ten per cent. of the expeditions sink on
the road from hunger and exhaustion, never again
to rise ; and that of those who are happy enough to
arrive a large portion are received into the hos-
pitals.

STATE OF TRADB.

MANCHESTER, Jan. IG.—We have again to report a
very dull market. Buyers fur India have scarcely ope-
rated at all, and will in most cases await their letters by
the mail, which has now been telegraphed as having
reached Trieste. There letters may be expected about
Wednesday next. Purchases for the home trade and
most of the shipping markets are made with much cau-
tion, but prices are mostly steady. The trade in long-
cloths, T-cloths, and other fabrics suited to the Greek
trade, continues an exception to the general rule, a fair
business still existing, although the accumulation of
packages of goods at Liverpool for which no shipment
can yet be secured is rather considerable. In yarns the
same flatness prevails which marks the cloth market,
but prices are sustained. Rather more business is doing
for the Mediterranean than for other quarters.
Of the cloth market Messrs. John Slagg and Co. re-
port :
"The improved feeling which we noticed on Tuesday
last has gradually subsided along with the fwitb in the
report which have rise to it, and we have againto report
a dui!, inactive market. The heavier fabrics for the
Mediterranean and Levant are still in the best position,
but oven in these there is less disposition to operate
than there has been for a long time past. In India
goods there is still very little doing, but, so far, there
are no accumulations of steel,, and prices are well sup-
ported."
Messrs. G. Fraser, Son, and Co. say—
" There has been a quiet market, without any notice.
able change in prices."
LEEDS, Jan. IG.—There has been a moderate attend-
ance of buyers in the Cloth-halls this morning, but not
quite a full average business has been done. Purchases
are limited to small quantities, little being doing yet,
for either the home or the foreign trade, in spring goods.
Prices remain steady.

A BALLOONING HINDOO.—The Bombay Times says
Rajah Issan Chakdersing, Secretary to the British Indian
Association, made a balloon ascent on Nov. 22d, at
J umroo Candy, where his palace 13 situated. The bal-
loon was constructed under his own directions, and he
=wed the descent entirely ))3F himself.

PRUSSIA.

We extract the following from a Berlin letter of
the 14th inst. :

We are told here that M. d'Usedom, albeit his
mission proved a failure at London, so far suc-
ceeded as to persuade persons of eminence there
that matters were not so dark at Berlin as they
were represented ; that the Cabinet, and those who
rule the Cabinet, were well disposed to the West,
and especially to England ; that it was at heart
fully with us, and only required " time," modifica-
tion of forms, and, above all, an exhibition of con-
fidence and cordiality, to express its readiness to
acknowledge the December treaty, or "something
analogous." Now, all that can be said is, that
if there be any persons of political eminence in
London who place faith in affirmations that this
Cabinet is sincerely disposed to go hand-in-hand
itself
of the West, or that it would not avail
of its readmission into the conferences for other
than obstructive and Russian partisan purposes,
then their faith must have completely nullified
their reason, obliterated their memories, and
blinded them to facts which stare all men here
broadly in the face.

Her Majesty's Arctic Discovery Ship Enterprise,

morning, having penetrated to within 100 miles of the
spot where the Investigator lies ice-bound, and where,
it is believed, she will ever remain, though her crew

bad feeling that existed on board the Enterprise on her

minished during her absence, and that Captain Collin-
son has returned to Hong Kong with several of his offi-

not reach until after having been absent upward 3 of 5
years and half ; and we hope that the services of all on

ployment after recovery from their fatigues, and tha t
means may be found for terminating the unhappy dif-
ferences existing, and which have for years existed on

THE WAR IN ASIA.

A letter from Trebizonde, dated the 28th of
December, says :
" On Sunday, the 24th of December, the Tunisian
corvette Mansour, commanded by Captain Faure, ar-
rived in our port after having accomplished an interest.
ing mission on the Abasian coast.
" The Mansour, on its return from Redout-Kalb,
took on board at Tchuruk-su 300 soldiers, four heavy
guns, and some artillerymen, and conveyed them to
Soukourn-Kale.

" With painful astonishment the officers found that
the pretty houaes of this latter town, many of which are
of stone, and the fine barracks about the town, had been
in great part demolished, the roofs were knocked in, and
everythinginside either carried off or smashed. Some par-
tisans of Russia are supposed to bays committed this act
of vandalism.

" From Soukourn-Kald the Mansour, obeying the
orders of Mustapha Pasha, proceeded to Soutcha and
Ardilher. Those military stations have for some time
been abandoned by the Russians and the forts destroyed.
Captain Faure having visited these two localities, ship-
ped on board the corvette four guns, two brass and two
iron, which had been spiked and left there by the Rus-
sians among the ruins of the forts of Soutcha and Ardil-
her. These guns have been landed at the head-quarters
of Tehuruk-su.

" Mustapha Pasha intends, unless something unfore
seen occurs, shortly revisiting the Abasinian and Circas
sian coasts."

THE BLACK SEA.

The latest movements in the black Sea Fleet are
detailed in letters we have received dated Decem-
ber 30 and January 1 respectively. At the first
date there were at Eupatoria her Majesty's ship,
Leander, 50, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie ;
the Curacoa, 31, Captain the Hon. G. F. Hast-
ings ; and the Viper gun-boat, 4, Lieutenant Lod-
der. At Balaklava were her Majesty's ships Sans-
pareil, 70, Captain Heath ; the Diamond, 20; Cap-
tain Peel ; the Wasp, 14, Commander John Hay ;
the Vesuvius, 6, Commander Powell ; the Fire-
brand, 6, Captain Moorsom ; the Sphinx, 6, Cap-
tain Wilmot ; the Vulture, 6, Captain Glasse ;
and the Caradoc, 2, Commander Derriman. The
seamen and naval officers of the Bellerophon, 78,
Captain Lord George Paulet, have been ordered
to rejoin their ship, while the marine officers
and marines remain on shore. The Tribune, 31,
Capt. the Hon. J. R. Drummond, it is expected,
will relieve the Sanspareil as senior officer's ship at
Balaklava, when the latter will go home. Dr.
Brown, of the Bellerophon, has volunteered to re-
' main doing duty with the Marine Brigade. Dr.
Walsh has been ordered to do duty with the
Ma-
rinas encamped before Sebastopol. Dr. Dias, de-
puty medicalinspector, has been at Balaklava for
some. days, reorganising the medical staff of the
naval and marine brigades. Dr. Chapman, of the
Britannia, has been appointed to the
A.cirairal Lyons visited Dalaklava two days ago, an
rode all over the lines there ; he returned in tlae
Beagle gunboat to Chersonese the same evening."
The Lion steamer has returned from Tendra Bay
(near Odessa) with a cargo of hay, taken on board
under the protection of the guns of the Highflyer
and Gladiator.

SHIPPING STATISTICS.

The East India and China Association have published
their comparative statement of the number of ships, both
British and foreign, with their aggregate tonnage, en-
tered inward and cleared, outward with cargo from and
to places within the limits of the East India Company's
charter in the years 1853 and 1854.
The statistics of vessels entered inward show, in the
case of the port of London, an increase of 113 vessels,
and 58,984 tonnage, the difference between 711 vessels,
with 384,531 tonnage, in 1853, and 824 vessels, with
443,515 tonnage, in 1854. Liverpool figures for an in-
crease of five vessels and 4,8g1 tonnage, the arrivals in
1853 having been 255 vessels, with 155,741 tonnage, and
260 vessels, with 160,572 tonnage. In the case of Bristol
there is an increase of three vessels and 3,338 tonnage,
the difference between 28 vessels, with 10,048 tonnage,
and 31 vessels, with 13,386 tonnage. The return for the
Clyde exhibits an increase of 16 ♦essels and 5,502 ton-
nage, the arrivals in the earlier period having been 39
vessels, with 14,577 tonnage, against in 'the latter 55
vessels, with 20,079 tonnage. The total increase on
the year has been 137 vessels, and 72,655 tonnage, the
difference between 1,033 vessels, with 564,897 tonnage,
in 1853, and 1,170 vessels, with 637,552 tonnage, in
1854. The increase in arrivals has been from Calcutta,
Madras, Ceylon, the Philippine Islands, Java, and
Sumatra, Mauritius, and the Cape of Good Hope.
The statistics of vessels cleared outward show a de-
crease in the case of the port of London of 42 vessels
and 33,004 tonnage, the difference between 954 vessels,
with 485,972 tonnage, and 912 vessels, with 452,968
tonnage. The return for Liverpool exhibits a decrease
of 75 vessels, but an increase of 33,691 tonnage, the
departures in 1853 having been 515 vessels, with
230,054 tonnage, and 440 vessels, with 313,745 tonnage.
The decrease in the ease of Bristol is 21 vessels, and
4,174 tonnage, the difference between 36 vessels, with
9,308 tonnage, and 15 vessels, with 5,134 tonnage. The
return for the Clyde exhibits a decrease of 61 vessels
and 803 tonnage, the departures in the earlier period
having been 188 vessels, with 61,552 tonnage, against,
in the latter, 124 vessels, with 60,749 tonnage. The
net decrease on the year has been 202 vessels, and 4290,
tonnage ; the difference between 1,693 vessels, with
836,886 tonnage, and 1,491 vessels, with 832,596 ton-
nage. The relatively small diminution in tonnage is
accounted for by the increased size of the vessels em-
ployed, Liverpool and the Clyde particularly having
made an advance iu this respect. The decrease in depar-
tures has been in connexion with Australia, China, and
the Cal)e of Good

A NEW MORTAR BOAT.

STORES, &c., FOR THE CRIMEA.

500,0001b5. of preserved boiled beef, packed in tin
cases, are now being sent out to the Crimea for the use
of the troops.
Government are about to despatch a portion of the
London Fire Brigade to Constantinople, with the neces-
sary apparatus, to protect the hospital at Scutari from
fire.

Mr. Edgar Swan, of the engineering Staff of Messrs.
Betts, Pete, and Brassey, left London on Monday even-
ing for Dover, overland for the Crimea.
The Loire, screw, hired by the Messrs. Cro&ford to
convey goods and provisions to the Black Sea, could
not, as intended, get away from the Southampton docks
yesterday. The delay was caused by the overcrowded
state of the ship, there being no room to stow a quan-
tity of planking which is to be taken out for the pur-
pose of erecting a large store in which to place her
cargo upon its arrival at the Crimea. A quantity of
coals having been removed, the difficulty was over-
come, and it is the intention to despatch her to sea
to-day, if practicable.
The Coriolanus, hired sailing transport, for the con-
veyance of French huts to the Crimea, still remains in
the river, her captain not being able to muster a suffi-
cient crew to put to sea. Every exertion is being used
to procure hands, and it is hoped she will shortly get
away.
The Lady Jocelyn (screw) and the Bwiftsure (sailing)
transports, chartered by the French Government for the
conveyance of huts, are continuing to receive large
numbers on board, and great credit is due to those to
whom the superintendence of the shipping is intrusted
for the speedy manner in which the huts are being dis-
posed of.
_ _

- The Rajah (screw transport) Peninsular and Oriental
Company's steam-ship, received her number (181) yester-
day morning; CaptrOn—Byrhe. has 'been- appointed to
this vessel, vice Captain Evans, removed to the Alma,
now fitting at Black wall.
Yesterday the duties in the Storekeeper's Department
in the Tower became so exceedingly arduous that nearly
100 extra labourers were employed, exclusive of all the
soldiers who could be spared from military duty, to de-
liver military and warlike stores, and ship them on board
lighters and other craft for conveyance to Woolwich,
Sheerness, and Portsmouth for the Crimea. The stores
consisted of fur and other warm clothing, water-tight
criw-hide boots, greatcoats and blankets, horse clothing,
Minie rifles and rifled carbines, pistols, sabres, arid cut-
lasses. Notwithstanding the great exertions of the
Board of Ordnance, it is not expected that the whole of
the fur clothing can be despatched to the Crimea before
the latter part of the ensuing week.

MARLBOROUG.H-STREET-(TIIIS DAY.)

DARING WATCII ROBBRIIY.—EIiza If'Donald, a wo-
man of the town, was brought before Mr. Bingham,
charged with stealing a silver watch, the property of
Moses Dingle, carpenter, 63, High-street, Marylebone.
It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor that
about 11 o'clock last night he was proceeding along
Coventry-street, when the prisoner, who was in com-
pany with other women, placed herself suddenly in front
of him, and, before he was aware of hor intentions, she
threw her arms round him and broke his watch from the
guard chain and ran off. As soon as he recovered from
his surprise he went in pursuit, calling out " Stop thief,"
and at the corner of Windmill-street he came up with
her and detained her until a constable arrived, when he
gave her_in charge.

Cross, 197 C, heard the cry of police, and, on going
to the corner of Windmill-street, he saw the prosecutor
struggling with the prisoner, whom he accused of steal-
ing his watch. Witness conveyed her to the station,
whore she was searched, but nothing found upon her.
The prosecutor was the worse for liquor at the time, and,
prisoner, when she ran off, no doubt passed the watcla
to some of her companions.

The prisoner, who denied the charge, was remanded
until Monday next.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

To-day's market was very moderately supplied with
English wheat. For all kinds we had a dull inquiry, at
Monday's currency.
Foreign wheat, the show of which was by no means
extensive, was dull, but we have no change to notice in its
value.

Floating cargoes were mostly held above the views of
buyers.
The barley trade was in a depressed state, yet we have
no further decline to notice in prices.
Malt met a dull sale, at barely late rates.
Oats, beaus, peas, and flour moved off slowly, and the
quotations were with difficulty supported.
