MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.—It is the prevailing '
belief in Ministerial circles, that Parliament will re-assemble
on Tuesday, the 3d of February. It is not yet decided
whether her Majesty will open Parliament in person.
A Cabinet Council will be held at the Foreign-
office on the 14th, and on Thursday, the 15th instant.
After the breaking up of the Cabinet Council on
Thursday, Lord John Russell proceeded to Windsor, and had
an interview with the Queen. The Noble Lord afterwards
returned to Richmond Park.
ACCIDENT TO MR. MILES, M.P.—An accident, but
fortunately not of a serious nature, occurred to the respected
Member for East Somerset, William Miles, Esq., while shoot-
ing one day last week with some other gentlemen. in his pre-
serves at Leigh Court. Captain Somerset fired at a bare,
when a portion of the shot lodged in Mr. Miles's leg, but
though the mishap has lamed the Hon. Member a little, we
are re[oiced to say it has done him no serious damage.—
Wiltshire Independent.
THE LATE BOILER EXPLOSION AT GREAT BRIDGE.
BIRMINGINAM, FRIDAY NIGHT. —An inquest on tl e bodies
of the unfortunate men killed by the explosion at the works
of Messrs. Davis and Bloomer, Golds hill, near Great Bridge,
was formally opened this morning by Mr. Ilinchliffe, the
coroner for the district. In order that the evidence, scien-
tific and otherwise, might be properly brought before the
jury, the inquiry was adjourned.

PORTLAND BREAYWATER.—The breakwater works
are making very favourable progress, and even now afford
very great and secure shelter to the numerous shipping
which take refuge in the bay. The works are carried out to
a distance of 7,750 feet from the original line of shore into
about 91 fathoms of water. Notwithstanding the serious
damage done to the works on the Ist of October last, when
upwards of 300 feet of the staging was swept away by a
tornado which crossed the bay with such violence as is rarely
known in these latitudes, the spirited contractor, J. T.
Leather, Esq., with his energetic agent, Mr. E. P. Smith,
under the active superintendence of Mr. Coode, the resident
engineer, have made all secure again after a continuance of
most untiring exertions.

RUMOURED OBJECTION TO KOSSUTH'S RETURN
TO ENGLAND.—A liamburgh newspaper states that the
Ottoman Porte has addressed a note to the English Govern-
ment, in which it energetically protests against the contem-
plated return of Kossuth to England, his liberation having
taken place, it is alleged, upon the express condition of his
permanent residence in the united States. The Porte adds
that it will insist the more strongly upon tho strict fultil-
meat of this engagement, on account of the value which it
attaches to the amicable relations which have been hoPPIIY.
re-established between it and Austria. We find a parallel
statement in the Vienna correspondence of the

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK.

The stiles of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at from 5,000 Iso 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 were
taken for export and on speculation. The market was
quiet at prcvlous rates.—ltailway Shares were fiat.
Upon the state of the Silk trade Mr. Henry W. Ea►ton
advisos as follows:

"The extent of the operations in December has beers
unprecedented. Those in Italian silk were at first gene-
rally supposed to be for foreign account, our manufac-
turers evincing little er no disposition to purchase beyond
their immediate wants; but (although some few parcels
have been shipped), it any one may judge from the
quantity warehoused as stock, after weighing, instead
el, as usual, going into consumption, it would appear
that a large proportion of them was merely on specula-
tion, Kith a view to resale, either here or elsewhere. -L
am sorry to 59y there is nothing in the home trade 1.0
justify such a specula ion, which can only tend to t'se
injury of our own mauufacturers, and compel them, us
before, to have recourse to a substitute whenever prts:-
ticable. In Chinas the trade has undoubtedly bongl it
freely, but, I am inclined to think, more from the is a-
pressiod that foreign speculation would preclude tilt m
from using Italians, which I have no doubt they et ,n-
-templated, rather than from any particular improvers] eat
in their position. There has also been a considerr‘ble
briskness in Bengals. As regards the future, lam in-
clined to consider that in the absence of any poliqical
convulsion, present prices are safe, and that an improved
trade may be expected. It will be seen that the total
stock of silk shows a decrease of 253,678 lbs., in com-
parison with this time last year."
The return of the Bank of England made up for the
week ending the 3d inst. indicates a much more active
business. The amount of notes in circulation was ma-
terially augmented owing to the larger advances upon
securities, discounts we presume, and the quarterly
official payments had only just begun to act upon the
public deposits. The bullion agsin rose consider ably.
Compared with the previous week, the changes were as

The Committee of Mexican Bondholders have re-
ceived ad vices from Mr. Falconnet, dated Mexico, the
4th and sth December.

The Government has abandoned the plan to raise
funds for the payment of the January dividend, by the
issue of cotton licenses, but ha. applied to Congress for
authority to raise a loan of 2,500,000 dollars, of which
750,000 dollars are to be upplitd to the payment of the
January dividend. The loan is to be secured by duties
on articles now prohibited, which prohibitions it is con-
templated to abolieli. The President and his Cabinet
appeared to be sincerely anxious that the dividend should
be paid, and Mr. Falconnet thinks that this may be done
at an early period, by a plan suggested by him, of the
success of which be entertains sanguine expectations.
He calculates that the produce of the revenue assigned
for the payment of the interest on the foreign debt,
which is not yet remitted, and is likely to accrue up to
31st December, will in cash and bills amount to upwards
of 850,000 dollars.

On several points pending connected with the arrears,
as well as on others, Mr. Fulconnet was gradually coming
to a better uuderstanding with the Government, and
some it was agreed on to allow to stand over for a more
opportune time.

was trying again to rally his forces in the
north, but the Government was now better prepared for
defence there; and there was reason to believe that tie/
United States would adopt strong measures to prevent
their citizens from joining in the fray, and that, in ca,ae
of necessity, they would even direct their troops to cross
the frontiers, to lend their aid in repulsing the attacks of
the insurgents.

Colonel Facio has received 76,000 dollars from Vera
Cruz and Tampico towards the dividends; and the Com-
mittee has received 3,956 dolls, 97c. on account of the
arrears.

The amount of bullion exported from London direct
during the week to Thursday last was 37,39$ ounces,
all in silver, and to the continent.
The Stock Market is very quiet and continues heavy,
nothing new being known concerning the Ministry.
Consols have realised 97 to I} for Transfer,
and 97 to 1- for Account, being now 97 buyer•e.
The New Three-and•a-Qaarter per Cents. have realised

The Foreign Securities have been all flatter, and par-

cruing from the late advance. Mexican Bonds have been
done at 30 and 30*, and are now 29i The remittance
is rather more than was yesterday stated, 33,630 dollars
having been received from Mazatlan. This makes in all

From information which has reached us, but which
we are not at liberty to divulge just now, we have every
reason to think that the Admiralty anticipate having to in-
crease our naval force almost immediately, and they are be-
ginning to inquire where they have a chance of getting sea-
men. They are, in fact, asking themselves the question
which we have often asked—" How is the fleet to be man-
ned?" This circumstance would imply that the foreign re-
lations of the country are not in that satisfactory state
which it would be so desirable theyishold be.—Skippin4
Ga;ettr.
