MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.
Fresh up to Mark-lane to-day the arrivals of English
wheat were very moderate, but the condition of the produce
was good. There was a better attendance of buyers, and
the trade exhibited more activity, fully Monday's quotations
being obtained in all transactions.
With foreign wheat the market was but moderately sup-
plied. Millers, however, operated somewhat cautiously.
Nevertheless, prices ruled firm.

Floating cargoes of wheat were in improved request, at
extreme rates. Spring corn afloat, however, was a slow
sale.

The supply of barley on sale was large. For all qualities
the trade was in a sluggish state, yet no further change
took place in the currency.
Malt—the supply of which was large—sold heavily, at
barely late rates.

The supply of oats on sale was very moderate. Good
and fine corn ruled steadily, at full prices ; but inferior
produce commanded very little attention.
In beans and peas, the amount of business transacted
was small, previous quotations.

Barrel flour was very scarce, and nominal in value.
French, Spanish, and country parcels were, however, in•
fair supply, and a moderate business was transacted, on
former terms.

WARSAW, Dec. 30.—The Russian authoritie3
have commenced calling on the inhabitants to sign
addresses of devotedness to the Czar. Grzybow, the
commissary of police of the Jewish quarter, was the
first functionary employed in this business. The
Canon Rezewuski, who performs the episcopal
functions during the absence of Mgr. Felinski, has
refused to sign a pastoral letter in favour of such
addresses.

LOVbI AND SUICIDE.

Lest evening Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, the deputy-coroner
for Middlesex, opened an inquiry at the Adam and Eve
Tavern, Lower Homerton, respecting the death of Esther
Austin, aged 19 years, who was found dead in the River
Lea, under the following circumstances :

The evidence went to prove that the deceased, a single
woman, had been in the service of Mr. Kingsley, coffee-shop
keeper, of Angel-lane. She had been keeping company
with a young man for the past 18 months, and she was
affectionately attached to him, although she had been told
that he was visiting another female. On Tuesday after-
noon week she left laer father's house at Stratford, and
called upon the mother of her sweetheart, where she met
him about 6 o'clock in the evening. They left the house
together at Homerton, and parted near the canal bridge,
where she said to him " Good night," and passed across the
fields towards her home, but she was never seenalive again,
and was found on Tuesday last floating in the water of the
river Lea.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 1, 1864.

anquet to Prince GortschakofF at St.
Petersburg,

We have received St. Petersburg journals con-
taining very long reports of the speeches at the
banquets which we stated on Wednesday had been
given to Prince Gortschakoff, at the rooms of the
English Ciub in the Russian capital.
Prince Gortschakoff spoke amid the greatest en-
thusiasm. The following is a passage from his
address:—

" All Russia, enraptured, raised its voice in sup-
port of oar replies, of which the object was to con-
found and repel pretentious attempts on the dignity
of our country. It has lavished encouragements so
flattering to the writer of those replies, that we
could not help saying to ourselves If this feeble
manifestation of the will of the Czar has produced
such ar. impression, what will Russia not do if God
sends her new trials, and the Emperor makes a
solemn appeal to the nation.'" (Great applause,)
Among the other speeches was one by Count
Orloff, who said—

' After the conclusion of the treaty of Paris,
which put an end to a war not less glorious than un-
fortunate for us, Europe generally was penetrated
with the idea that Russia would become powerless ;
that she had lost for long years her influence; and
that her only resource was to remain a wounded
spectator, pawerless in the political affairs at
Europe, And here we must recall the significant
words of the Prince whom we have the honour to
entertain to-day, ' Russia does not sulk—she col-
lects her strength.' Without losing time in useless
complaints, we occupied ourselve ardently with our
internal affairs. Examine all that has been done
in this time—all the useful materials which have
been prepared for the future. . I was abroad
when the late despatches of Prince Gortschakoff
were expected with feverish impatience. The prince
did not for a❑ instant lose his verve and coolness at
the time when he wrote those despatches, the holy
anger of which, excited by foreign intermeddling,
led the Times to say that no Minister in Europe cut
his pen so finely as Prince Gortschakoff."
At this part of the count's speech Prince Gorts-
chakoff appears to have suddenly risen. He said—
" Prince Orloff has made it a great merit in me
to have kept the smile upon my lips and remained
calm and gay in a difficult moment. But, gentle-
men, my calm is easily explained. I had before me
Russia, such as she really is, calm, majestic, and
powerful, and not as her enemies would have her to
be, feeble, divided, undermined by revolution, and
powerless. Europe sees us through a deceptive cloud,
and does not perceive what we really are. We
breathed upon this cloud which obscured our great-
ness, and it vanished, and Europe has suddenly
seen us in the true light of the day; she is con-
vinced of the holy and indissolub e union which
exists between the Sovereign and the nation, she
has recognised that our power has not diminished.
May this union, which constitutes our strength,
remain for ever !"
London, England, 1864-01-01

the indications appear to be that unless Grant is
forced to fall back because of the movements of
Longstreet, Bragg will eventuelly lose ookout
Mountain, and will have to fall back towards At-
lanta, probably to a place called Tunnel-hill.
I must not omit to mention that C.l ,rleston, al-
though battered and tormented by its indefatigable
assailants, is regarded as so little at present in
danger as to have ceased to attract all notice or at-
tention. The accompanying narrative, furnished
to me by an English officer now at Charleston, and
extracted from a letter bearing date the IGth inst.,
will give your readers a more lifelike idea of Fort
Sumter than anything which I could myself

"THE GHOST CLUB" at the
CANTERBURY HALL.—New and Interesting
Spectral Tableaux.—Mr. C. MO RTON is enabled to announce
that, through the medium of Professor Pepper's World of
Shadows, a "GHOST CLUB" is n.ghtly held at the CAN-
TERBURY TEAL L. The object of the Club is not the re-
peopling of the Haunted Houses of London; but, through
the agency of Phantoms, to present vivid (if transient)
pictures of the drama of real life, both In its serious
and mirthful aspects; and, by means of spectral tableaux.
to recall, and still further impress on the mind, some
of the teachings or pleasantries of the best wr tars. At pre-
sent,.. the two o-ders of Slavery—the Slavery of the South,
and the "white" Slaver, of a snorts boastful civilisation,
receive emphatic illustration ; and these lite pictures will be
rapidly replace Iby others. The pages f z4bakspere and the
el.er Dramatists, of Scott. Hood, Imzoldsby, Dickens, dm., &c.,
Nvi_l:_in turns, furnish subjects for illustrat,on. _

All the other Musics( -.And Pictorial attractions as usual,
includimr Operatic Selections, &c. ; Comedy by UNsworth
(the modern Demosthenes), Eugene, George Hudson, E.
Marshall, and George Hutchenson.

LOVE AND SUICIDE.

List evening Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, the deputy-coroner
for Midcr.esex, opened an inquiry at the Adam and Eve
Tavern, Lower Homerton, respecting the death of Esther
Austin, aged 19 years, who was found dead in the River
Lea, under the following circumstances :

The evidence went to prove that the deceased, a single
woman, had been in the service of Mr. Kingsley, coffee-shop
keeper, of Angel-lane. She had been keeping company
with a young man for the past 18 months, and she was
affectionately attached to him, although she had been told
that he was visiting another female. On Tuesday after-
noon week she left her father's house at Stratford, and
called upon the mother of her sweetheart, where she met
him about 6 o'clock in the evening. They left the house
together at Homerton, and parted near the canal bridge,
where she said to him " Good night," and passed across the
fields towards her home, but she was never seen alive again,
and was found on Tuesday last floating in the water of the
river Lea.

GARIBALDI'S RESIGNATION.

We find in the Italia of Turin of Tuesday last the
following letter from Garibaldi to the President of
the Chamber of Deputies :
" Caprera, Dec. 21, 18G3.
"Mons. and Very Honourable President of the
Chamber of Deputies, Turin,—For reasona which
you will learn by the enclosed letter addressed to
my constituents at Naples, I have believed it right
to resign my post of deputy in this Parliament. In
the conviction that the Chamber will accept my
resignation without delay, I have the honour to
declare myself, with respect, Mona. and Very Hon-
ourable President, yours,

" G. GARIBALDI."
The letter addressed to the electors of Naples,
referred to above, is as follows :
" Caprera, Dec. 21.

"To my Constituents at Naples,-IVhen I saw
229 deputies of the Italian Parliament confirm by
vote the sale of Italian soil, I had the presen-
timent that I should not long remain in the assem-
bly of those men who blindly tore asunder the limbs
of the country which they were called to reconstruct.
However, the counsels of friends, the hope of repara-
tory events, and an unshaken sentiment of devotion
towards my constituents, kept me at my post. But
now, when I see succeeding to the sale ot Nice the
shame of Sicily, which I should be proud to call my
second country by adoption, I feel myself, electors,
compelled to restore to you a commission which
enchains my conscience and makes me indirectly
the .accomplice of the faults of others. It is not
only the affection which I owe to Sicily, the coura-
geous initiator of so many revolutions, but the
thought that they have wounded in her the right
and the honour in compromising the safety of all
Italy, which has led me to take this resolution.
There is, however, nothing in this which will pre-
vent me from finding myself with the people in arms
on the road to Rome and Venice. Adieu.—Yours,
" G. GARIBALDI."

LONDON, FRIDAY, JAN. 1, 1864.

The Revenue Returns for 1863, punctually laid
before the public on this First of January, are
chiefly remarkable :for inasmuch as out of eight
sources of the National Income only two show a
decrease, the remaining six showing, on the cm-
trary, a distinct increase—respectively, an increase
and a decrease upon the year itself and upon each
of its four quarters. The two exceptional branches,
however, under each of which a decrease is but too
plainly visible, are, out of the whole eight, two among
the most important. These are the,Property Tax and
the Customs. Under each the decrease is, moreover,
very considerable. So considerable, indeed, as to
overbalance the aggregate increase, referred to, as
evidenced by the six other sources of Revenue.
Whereas—to nut the facts here hinted at as plainly
as possible, so as to bring them in a few moments
within any one's compvehension—Whereas the in-
crerese upon this last quarter, as compared with the
corresponding quarter of the previous year, 1862,
mounts to £l,OOO on Crown Lands, to £15,000 on
Taxes (so called), to X 4,000 on Post-office, to £106,000
Stamps, to £173,238 on.Miscellaneous,and to asmuch
as /753,000 on Excise, making a total increase on
the quarter under those six heads of £1,088,238
it is observable that there has been within the same
interval of this last quarter a decrease under the
the head of Customs to the extent of £350,000, and
a decrease under the head of Property Tax to the
extent of £799,000, making together a decrease of
£1,149,000 on this our last isolated quarter of the
dead and gone twelvemonth. Subtracting from
which aggregate sum indicative of the decrease, the
lesser figures of the total increase, we find that
there is a net decrease upon the last quarter of 1863
of £60,762. The net decrease upon the last nine
months of this same year just completed, is one, it
will be seen, of £169,911. The net decrease of the
Revenue upon the whole year being more than half
a million sterling, or, to be precise, £562,809. Nor
can this unsatisfactory result be in any way matter
either of surprise or of bewilderment, when
we come to examine the eight contrasting items
in One of the last of the Revenue Tables, published at
the commencement of the new year. For, although
P. is true there will be found, from the particular
table referred to, an aggregate increase upon the
year in Crown Lands of £3,979, in Taxes (soi
disant) of £60,000, in the Post-office of £200,000, in
Excise of £211,000, in Stamps of £338,055, and
under the comprehensive head of Miscellaneous of
£537,157, altogether an increase upon the year,
under those six heade, of £1,350,191—in Customs
alone there has been a decrease of £615,000, and
under the head of Property Tax a decrease in /he

LONDON GAZETTE---This Evening.
BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, Dxc. 29.
The Right Hon. the Lords of the Committee of Privy
Council for Trade and Plantations have received through
the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs an extract of a
despatch from her Majesty's Minister at Madrid, reporting
that the Spanish. Government with the view of making the
regulations re,-b..rding vessels passing Tarifa (notices
respecting which were inserted in the London Gazette of
the 3d and 31st December, 1858), for the future more
lenient, have directed that after the discharge of one gun
loaded with blank cartridge, two shots with ball will bo
fired aside of the vessel, in the way of warning, instead of
one, as has hitherto been the rule.
London, England, 1864-01-01

" All Russia, enraptured, raised its voice in sup-
port of our replies, of which the objecz was to con
found and repel pretentious attempts on the dignity
of our country. It has lavished encotragements so
flattering to the writer of those replies, that we
could not help saying to ourselves:—'lf this feeble
manifestation of the will of the Czar has produced
such an impression, what will Russia not do if God
sends her new trials, and the Emperor makes a
solemn appeal to the nation.' " (Great applause.)
Among the other speeches was cne by Count
Orloff, who said—

" After the conclusion of the treaty of Paris,
which put an end to a war not less glotious than un-
fortunate for us, Europe generally wts penetrated
with the idea that Russia would beconte powerless ;
that she had lost for long years her influence; and
that her only resource was to remail a wounded
spectator, powerless in the political affairs of
Europe. And here we must recall the significant
words of the Prince whom we have the honour to
entertain to-day, Russia does not sulk—she col-
lects her strength.' Without losing time in useless
complaints, we occupied ourselve ardently with our
internal affairs. Examine all that has been done
in this time—all the useful materials which have
been prepared for the future. . • I was abroad
when the late despatches of Prince Gortschakoff
were expected with feverish impatience. The prince
did not for an instant lose his verve and coolness at
the time when he wrote those despatches, the holy
anger of which, excited by foreign intermeddling,
led the Times to say that no Minister in Europe cut
his pen so finely as Prince Gortschakoff."
At this part of the count's speech Prince Gorts-
chakoff appears to have suddenly risen. He said—

" Prince Orloff has made it a great merit in me
to have kept the smile upon my lips and remained
calm and gay in a difficult moment. Bat, gentle-
men, my calm is easily explained. I had before me
Russia, such as she really is, calm, majestic, and
powerful, and not as her enemies would have her to
be, feeble, divided, undermined by revolution, and
powerless. Europe sees us through a deceptive cloud,
and does not perceive what we really are. We
breathed upon this cloud which obscured our great-
ness, and it vanished, and Europe has suddenly
seen us in the true light of the day; she is con-
vinced of the holy and indiasoluble union which
exists between the Sovereign and the nation, she
has recognised that our power has not diminished.
May this union, which constitutes our strength,
remain for ever !"

The Price of Gold.

The quotat lon of gold at Paris is about 3 per mille pm,, and
the short exchange on London is 25.30 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
I7s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appear that gold is
about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than to Paris.
By advices fromHambur,g the price of gold is 4211 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.5 per £1 sterling.
Standard goid at the English Mirt price is, therefore, about
1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight; is 163 to 101 per cent., and the premium on
gold. is 491, to 491 per cent. At these rates there is a profit
on the importation of gold irons the United States.
