SPAIN:

The following telegraphic despatch has been re-
ceived in Paris :
" IVlannin, 6th.—ln tho sitting of yesterday AL
Madoz was elected President of the Cortes by 170 votes;
M. Infante was elected First Vice-President by 124
votes."

DENMARK.
Our accounts from Denmark are of the 4th inst.
Many of the electoral districts of the provinces
which, since the establishment of the Constitution,
have been accustomed to return the same mem-
bers to the Second Cabinet, have now elected
members the most hostile to the Ministry. • The
feeling against the present Chamber is such that
in many districts the newly-elected deputies
have been carried in triumph through the streets
and public places. M. Tutein, the deputy who pro-
posed the impeachment of the Ministry a short time
back, has been made the object of a popular and
general ovation. All the houses in the ♦icinity were
illuminated in his honour. In presence of these facts
the Ministers have tendered their resignation, and the
King has accepted it. The Opposition, if successful,
will not only cause a general change in the internal
administration of the country, but, if it comes to
power, will probably effect a complete revolution
in the • external relation of the kingdom ; and
the system of armed neutrality which Denmark
4has adopted and maintained, in common with Nor-
way and Sweden, since the commencement of the
present war, will perhaps be changed for a more
active policy. Considered in this light, the events
which are now passing in this little kingdom be-
come of importance, not only for the Scandinavian
Powers, but for the whole of Europe.
Intelligence of a later date informs us that the
King had named General Krogh Minister of War,
and had commissioned him to form a new Cabinet.

THE MAGDALENA.

♦n immense number of cases came down from London
on Saturday afternoon and evening with about 2,000
pairs of boots for a regimdnt, which were instantly sent
off to Spithead in the Echo and Comet as fast as the
goods arrived. The fact is that waggons are so scarce,
owing to the employment of the contractor, Mr. Cam-
moll, for the huts, that only one waggon could be spared
to convey the soldiers' boots from tke terminus to the
dockyard, which caused great delay, and which ought
to have been prevented by proper management. The
Magdalena has got away with a fresh and splendid
breeze from the northward, and which bids fair to take
her clear of the English Channel.

THE DISCOVERER OF THE NORTH-WEST

PASSAGE.

The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have pre-
sented to Captain 111'Cletre A very handsome gold watch,
with's suitable inscription, as a token of their entire ap-
probation of his conduct during his absence on the
perilous enterprise which he has been so fortunate as to
carry to a successful issue. Their lordships admit that
Captain M'Clure is the discoverer of the North-west
Passage, and we presume that the watch is only a slight
instalment of the favours whick are due to him for
having solved a problem which occupied the attention of
the scientific world for so many years.
London, England, 1854-12-11

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, dated Dec. 8, says I have
availed myself of tke electric telegraph to-day to
communicate to you a piece of news which, if it
has not already reached you from some other
quarter, will contribute more than any other to
create a powerful sensation in the political world,
and will at once account for the readiness of Austria
to conclude a treaty of offensive and. defensive
alliance with the Western Powers last week. On
the 28th ult. Prince Gortschakoff in Vienna in-
formed Graf Buol Schauenstein that he was autho-
rised and empowered to declare the Emperor of
Russia's adoption of the four points as put
f orward by the Western Powers, and adopted
by Austria, unreserved and entirely. The cimmu-
nication of this news to the Government here will
at once account for. why Prussia made no objection
to Austria's entering upon a treaty of offensive and
defensive alliance with the Western Powers, and
she will very probably herself follow the example,
for she will naturally say, if Russia has already
announced her intention of conceding everything
that the Western Powers demand, I don't see what
harm it could do us to be as big and bold as Aus-
tria, who has waited until the danger is over before
she declares her intention to fight.
Should Russia continue to give way upon every
point, and resign all the pretensions that she has
fostered with so much fondness for so lengthened a
period of consistent policy, and the realisation of
which she has more than once solemnly proclaimed
to be essential to her development, it will be very
difficult for any French or English Minister, with
his eyes opened by recent experience, to conclude
any such fair-speaking treaty while Sebastopol is
still left standing. The very enormous strength of
the place and the immensity of the materiel stored
up there shows that its object and destination are
not merely to form a depot for Russian troops act-
ing against the wild tribes of Circassia.

The

to the 22d. There had been several sorties from
Sebastopol, which had been successfully repulsed
by the Allies, whose fire continued upon this strong-
hold without any very manifest effect. The Rus-
sioatn, afterarmYthe outside of Sebastopol, although it had
castigation received at Inkerman, nven-
tured upon a second attack, was, however, accord-
ing to the accounts of some Polish deserters, making
preparations to do so before the arrival of the ex-
pected reinforcemet s for the Allies. The enemy
has destroyed the bridge he bad thrown across the
Chernaya. If the accounts of deserters are worthy

he
was believed that other It
changes would take place. The Council of the
Tanzimat had, it was said, though only a short
time ii existence, discovered a great number of
abuses, and was taking energetic measures to put
an end to them. H.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge
arrived en the 22d at Therapia from the Crimea.
He had been sent there by the physicians to re-
establish his health, which was Greatly injured by
the fatigues and privations he had undergone. All
that was known up to the 23d from the Crimea was
that military operations, with the exception of some
siege works, were temporarily suspended. The Allies
were watching with incessant vigilance the move-
ments of the Russians, and the latter, on their part,
were occupying themselves exclusively in fortifying
their positions, where they appeared to fear being at-
tacked at every moment. The Allied armies were
very impatient for the recommencement of hos-
tilities. The French vessels of war, the Friedland,
the Napoleon, and the Bayard, had arrived at Con-
stantinople for repairs. The Vile de Paris, the
Jupiter, and some other vessels were expected.
At Beycos several English vessels had arrived for
repairs. Every day there were arriving from
France vessels carrying out troops and ammunition
for the army in the Crimea. It was calculated
that since the commencement of the month nearly
15,000 French troops had passed by Constantinople.
The English reinforcements were also beginning to
arrive. The steamer Prince did not lose the
24,0001. she carried ; she fortunately deposited
that sum at Constantinople.

NORTHERN BAIL TWA Y COMPANIES.

It is with great plea/Cure we announce that the Inver-
ness and Elgin Junction and Great North of Scotland
Railway Companies have adjusted their differences, and
agreed to an amicable apportionment of the ground be-
tween Nairn and Huntly. The Great North retire alto.
uether from the ground west of the Spey, and the
Inverness and Elgin Junction become bound to push
their line as far as that river. Owing to the lateness of
the time when this arrangement has been come to, there
will be a little apparent complication of matters in
bringing the two bills before Parliament ; but the diffi-
culty is purely technical, and the good understanding
that exists between the companies, backed by the earnest
wish of the whole country to have railway communica-
tion immediately established between North and South,
will, we trust, enable both companies to complete the
preliminary arrangements, and fulfil the usual conditions'
of railway enterprise, in time to let operations be com-
menced next year. There is, however, a good deal to
do, and very little time between this day and the 3lst
of December ; and the public have a grave and pressing
duty to perform in enabling the committee to carry
through their measures. They must either reject the
scheme, or back it with promptness and energy. The •
arrangements of the Provisional Committee till the pre-
sent crisis have been made with great judgment, and
carried through with energy and decision ; they
have now come to that point at which the pubic may
be said to take the matter out of their hands, and are
forced to pronounce decidedly upon the question. The
capital must be subscribed, and a subscription contract,
to the extent of three-fourths of the required sum, must
be lodged with the clerks of Parliament before the 31st
of this month.—lnverneas Courier.

BOROUGH HOP.

Fine new hops are very scarce, and selling at full quota-
tions. Other kinds are dull in sale, at barely late rates.
Last week's imports of foreign hops into London were ex-
tensive, ♦is., 13 bales from Dunkirk, 8 from Calais, 22
from Havre, 1,944 from New York, 1 from Boulogne, 194
from Hamburg, 248 from Rotterdam, 779 from Ostend,
and 305 from Antwerp. Mid and East Kent pockets, 151
108 to 211 Os ; Weald of Kent ditto, 141 14s to 16110 s ;
Sussex ditto, 141 Os to 15110 s per cwt.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Coastwise and by railway the receipts of potatoes during
the week have been on a fair average scale. The imports
have amounted to only 12 bags from Hambro', 3 baskets
from Harlingen, 6 hampers, 8 baskets, 2 bagafrom Rotter-
dam, 8 sacks from Dublin, 10 bags from Limerick, and
70 bags from Belfast. The general demand is steady, as
follows :—Scotch reds, 105 s to 110 s.; do. Regents, 105 s
to 1203; York Regents, 105 s to 125 s ; Lincolnshire do.,
95s to 115 s ; other kinds, 90s to 105 s per ten.

LATEST NEWS.

THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL.

We have received the following from our cor-

respondent at Marseilles :

"MARSEILLES, SATURDAY EVENING.
" The Thabor, with dates from Constantinople

of the 30th ult., arrived here at noon to-day.
" She brings intelligince from Balaklava down
to the 26th ult., at which time the weather in

the Crimea was wet and stormy.
" The Russian fire against the French position

was very violent, but fresh guns were being dis-

embarked and quantities of ammunition.
" The Russians made incessant sorties, but tl:e

French repulsed them all, and were advancing.
" The French outposts had been pushed much

nearer to Sebastopol.

The Russians were constructing huts for their

,roops in the valley of the Chornaya."

The following telegraphic summary of the news
brought by the Thabor has been received in

Paris:

" MARSEILLES, SATURDAY EVENING.

" It is positively asserted that at a Council of
War, held on the 28th ult., General Canroberi
had decided that a great battle should bo fought
on the 2d of December. The army was full o:
enthusiasm.

" The fire of the batteries against Sebastopol
had been resumed with vigour, the last parallel
had been finished, and the works had reached

within a huadred metres of the place.
"A gexeral assault was considered as very near.

The Minister of War has received the following
despatch from the General-in-Chief of the army of

the East :

"BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, Nov. 20.
"The weather has decidedly set in for rain, which
interferes greatly with every description of convey-
ance, and with our operations before the place.
Nevertheless, the construction of our new batteries
and the modifications which we are making in our
old ones proceed rapidly enough. It is not cold,
and the Russian army must suffer more than we do
from the rain. The bringing up of its supplies by
roads which have become very difficult is a work of
great labour. We, on the contrary," are largely
provided. The fleet is in safe shelter.

In an anticipated sitting the German Diet has
to-day acceded unanimously, with the exception
of one voice, which abstained from voting, to the
additional article of the Treaty of Berlin of the
20th of April.

A correspondent writes from Frankfort, De-

cember 7:—

" Public opinion takes the liveliest interest in
the success of every proceeding which tends to
bring Germany and the Western Powers together
more completely, and'on this account it has warmly
applauded the conclusion of the Treaty of the 2d
of December. No one doubts but that the Diet
will give its assent to the additional article, and to
all the measures proposed by Austria.
"Prussia has pronounced in this sense, aid she
-will draw with her -all those States whose policy
has as yet been hesitating.
"It is believed that the decision will be made
before the end of the week."

BERLIN, SUNDAY,

A telegraphic despatch from St. Petersburg,
dated yesterday, announces that Prince Menschi-

A GBETNA-GRBEN MARRIAGE.

A singular case, which excited great interest, was
heard before the Carlisle county magistrates on the 2d
inst. From a report in the Carlisle Patriot, it appears
that a woman named Jane Howe, was married on the
7th of November last to John Orre, a druggist in Car-
lisle. After the marriage he refused to support her, aid
Howe then made application for admission into the
workhouse, not so much for the purpose of obtaining
relief, as to compel a summons by the parish authorities
against Orre, thereby obtaining a decision from a bench
of magistrates respecting the validity of her marriage to
the defendant. Mr. /Tough, a solicitor, appeared for
Orre, and Mr. Moore for the prosecution.
Complainant stated that she was born in Carlisle, and
a week before last Whitsuntide she went as servant to
her aunt, who kept the Jolly Butcher in that city. De-
fendant asked her to go to Gretna, and she started with
him about half-past 7 o'clock on the night of Tuesday,
the 7th ult.! Al.‘Castlin and Leach, two friends of Orre,
went with them. They arrived at Gretna about half-
pastlo, travelling in a gig, and arrived back at a quarter
past 2in the morning. The marriage had never been
consummated. She did not see Orre till the Saturday
afterwards. Subsequently he refused to support her.
Cross-exa.mined—Defendant was quite sober wh-n he
came to the " Jolly Buteher" on the night of the mar-
riave, had bfett drinking hard all the week. He
took a little the day before. He had a glass before we
started. He ordered the conveyance. We stopped only
once on the road—at Kingstown—where we had eon,o
whisky to drink. M`Castlin paid the toll bars and the
ma! r. ate fees, because defendant had not a farthing in
his pocket. (Laughter.) When we got there we had
not enough money amongst us, so M'Castlin pledge .l his
watch. We did not go at great speed ; we were about
five hours on the way. (Laughter.) We bad some
whisky at Gretna before the marriage, but none any-
where else, except at Xiagetowe.

THE MURDER IN FITZROY-SQUARE

CORONER'S INQUEST—(THIS DAY).
This afternoon, at two o'clock, Mr. Wakley held an
inquest at the Goat and Compasses, New-road, upon the
bodies of the deceased men, George Moore and Charles
Collard. The case excited the most intense interest, and
lung before the hour for the jury assembling the house
was thronged, and several hundreds were assembled in
the street outside and also about the immediate scene of
the examination. The evidence was nearly a recapitu-
lation of that given before the magistrate.
The only fresh evidence given was that of Mr. William
Moore, of Great Marylebone-street, a tallow chandler,
who identified the body of the deceased George Moore
as that of his brother. His age was 60. He was mar-
ried.
The servant girl, Bennet, was about to give her evi-
dence of a man who was present at the time her master
was shot.
Mr. Wakley said—We are now about to inquire about
a person who is not present.
Mr. Herring, the solicitor, who appeared for the ac-
cusel Emanuel Barthelemy, said that he had this morn-
ing seen the accused, and the accused was most anxious
that he should be before this jury, as there wore circum-
stances that, if explained, would create a different lip.
pression to that which had gone abroad.
Inspector Checkley provedithe identity of the other
deceased, Charles Collard.
The nurse, Jane Anderson, proved that the last-named
deceased died upon Saturday evening, at a quarter past
eight, having been about 24 hours in the hospital.
The medical avidence as to the cause of death having
been given,
At the request of the jury, the inquest was adjourned,
in order that they might wait open Lord Palmerston
to endeavour to prevail upon his lordship to allow the
accused to be brought up for the purpose of identifica-

tion.
The inquest was adjourned until Thursday, at eleven
o'clock.

THE MAGDALENA.

An immense number of cases came down from London
on Saturday afternoon and evening with about 2,000
pairs of boots for a regiment, which were instantly sent
off to Spithead in the Echo and Comet as fast as the
goods arrived. The fact is that waggons are so scarce,
owing to the employment of the contractor, Mr. Cam-
melt, for the huts, that only one waggon could be spared
to convey the soldiers' boots from the terminus to the
dockyard, which caused great delay, and which ought
to have been prevented by proper management. The
Magdalena has got away with a fresh and splendid
breeze from the northward, and which bide fair to take
her clear of the English Channel.
London, England, 1854-12-11

CORN EXCHANGE.

About an average business was transacted in wheat in
most of the country markets held on Saturday. In prices
no material change took place. Barley and malt were very
dull, and rather easier to purchase. Oats, beans, peas, and
flour commanded very little attention.
Advices from New York to the 28th tilt, state that no
change had taken place in the grain markets. O❑ the
continent, the business doing in wheat for shipment to
England has been limited.
The arrivals of home-produce up to our market last
week were very moderate. From abroad we received
5,258 quarters of wheat, 6,846 oats, 9,743 beans, 472 peas,
328 tares, 6,059 linseed, 5,283 sacks and 1,415 barrels of
flour.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to this morning's
market, coastwise and by land carriage, were on a moderate
scale, and in but middling condition. On the whole the
stands exhibited rather a limited number of samples of
both red and white, especially of the latter. Notwith-
standing that the attendance of millers was not to say ex-
tensive, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home pro-
duce ruled steady, at an improvement in the quotations
obtained on Monday last of is. per quarter. At that amount
of advance nearly or quite the whole of the supply was
cleared off.
The show of foreign wheat was but moderate. Good
heavy qualities were in fair request, and, in some in-
stances, is per quarter dearer than on this day se'enuight.
Low and middling parcels sold slowly on former terms.
We had very little inquiry for floating cargoes of grain.
Holders, however, were very firm in their demands.
The show of barley was smaller than for some weeks
past. However, the trade rulid heavy, and prices were
barely supported.
1 The malt trade was very dull, and the quotations were
rather easier.
The supply of eats was rather exteasive, whilst the de-
mand ruled heavy at 6d to is per quarter beneath last
Monday's currency.
Large supplies of foreign beans being on offer that de-
scription of produce was heavy, and is per quarter lower.
Peas met a dull inquiry. at is per quarter less money.
There was rather more doing in flour on former terms.

WOOL.

Since Monday last so little business has been transacted
in our market that the quotations have ruled nominal.

SPAIN.

Our accounts from Madrid are of the 30th ult.
The Gazette publishes a Royal decree superseding
in their commands General Laureano Sans, Cap-
tain-General of Galicia, and General Francisco de
Lersundi, Captain-General of Andalusia.
By another Royal decree General Ricardo
Shelley was appointed Captain-General of Galicia,
and Generalßafael deAristegui, Count de Mirasol,
Captain-General of Andalusia.

The Queen had ordered the palace called the
Casino of the Queen to be prepared for the recep-
tion of the Duke of Parma, who was expected on
that day.
The cold increased daily, and had been intole-
rable during the last three nights. All the foun-
tains of the public walks and the pond of the Retiro
were frozen, and the ice over the latter was suffi-
ciently strong to admit the amateurs of skating to
indulge in that amusement.
The accounts from the provinces were satisfac-
tory. It was not true that the cholera had appeared
in Galicia.
The Three per Cents. were done at 43 ; the New
Three per Cents., at 2li ; the Debt of the First
Class, at 81; and that of the Second, at 41.

BVIGIUM.
BRUSSELS, J. `3.—,On the occasion of the
opening of the new year the King and Royal
Family received deputations conveying complimen-
tary addresses from the Senate and Chamber, the
different departments of the Government, the civil
and military courts, &c. The whole of the diplo-
matic corps was present. The Ministers, and the
officers and ladies of the Royal household, had the
honour of being presented to his Majesty.
The Prince de Ligne, President of the Senate,
and M. de Delafosse, President of the Chamber,
read the addresses to the King.

CLEANSING THE PAVEMENTS.—The metropolitan police
have been employed since the commencement of the
week in delivering notices to the householders in their
respective heats of the legal necessity of keeping their
doorways cleansed of the snow during the present in-
clement weather. A large number of poor men, whoare otherwise deprived of their usual means of subust•
i ence by the severity of the weather, offer themselves n
every direction for employment in this manner, and
therefore no excuse exists for a non•compliance with the
requirements of the law in this regard.
DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE. —A few days since a
gentleman, residing at Clifton-park, near Bristol,
was walking near his residence, when he observed
the body of a man lying on the ground with his
face downward. On raising him,it was evident
that life had been some time extinct. Some passers-
by were attracted to the spot, and among them,
singularly enough,
was a young woman, who recognised
in the corpse before her the hfelgSB form of her brother.
Her distress was most painful 0 witness. Every effort
was made to restore animation, andthe body was conveyed
to the house of Mr. Gillow, surgeon, but all was un-
availing. The cause of death was discovered to be
disease of the heart.

From several of the lines no returns have yet
reached us ; but it will be observed that the traffic
above recorded is encouraging, especially on the
Great Northern.

Railway Shares are generally lower, and with
few buyers. The interruption to the traffic will
probably have some effect upon the dividends, but
not sufficient to account for this decline, which is
rather by sympathy with the funds. Caledonian,
Great Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North-
Western, and Midland have been chiefly dealt in.
French Shares have been rather weaker also, but
there is not much doing.
The Gold Mine Shares continue dull, and also
the Banks, but the Land Companies' are a little
firmer.
