THE LATE GAROTTE MURDER i r BARNSLEY.—The
adjourned inquest touching the death of Thomas Hus-
band, the man who was found dead on the Barnsley and
Pontefract turnpike road on Sunday evening week, was
resumed on Monday. The jury, after a long delibera-
tion, returned the following open verdict :—" That the
deceased, Thomas Husband, was found dead, but there
is not sufficient evidence to show how he came by his
death."
A FACT FOR THE CZAR.—The Emperor of the French
some time back gave directions to the Minister of War
to prepare a report for him, giving an exact detail of
the present situation of the French army, to be accom-
panied with a statement of the number of men that
France could, if necessary, place on a war footing. This
paper, it is said, has been lately sent in, and the num-
ber of men which could be employed as just stated, is
set down in it at 1,250,000.

address in reply to the speech from the throne.
It was as follows :

"Sire,—The Chamber of Deputies is happy to address
you at the beginning of this session. The noble and
generous words by which you inaugurated the present
Legislature have moved the nation, which has read the
faithful history of the acts of your reign. It remembers
with pride that you bravely fought by the side of your
magnanimous father for the independence of the country.
It is aware that your wisdom and political moderation
have obtained the approbation of the world, and that
your firmness in difficult times, and your unalterable
loyalty, have inspired universal confidence. It rejoices
at having co-operated with you in saving its liberties,
securing the national independence and honour, and
upholding spotless a banner the symbol of our wishes
and hopes. This noble people, Sire, bears your august
name deeply engraved in its heart, and is animated with

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1854

A snowfall so dense as to delay the mails and
otherwise generally to impede the traffic by rail-
road comes to us as seasonably as the prospect of
a European War at the commencement of the
New Year comes to us, in the strongest signification
of the word, unseasonably. An artificial scarcity
arising from the dearness of provisions—doubt on
the Stock Exchange interrupting the course of
rational speculation—labour stopped in the heart
of winter throughout some of the most populous
districts of Lancashire—suspicion as to Court in-
fbrences of a most unconstitutional character—
"confusion and disorganisation at the Horse Guards
—a chaotic Parliament and an unpopular Adminis-
tration ; such are the sources of anxiety at Home,
now that 1854 has opened with the dawn of
January. Abroad, the prospect continues
to be about as sombre and melancholy.
Scarcely anywhere can we recognise indications
less deplorable than the presages of a general war
—a war involving in it the destinies of the prin-
cipal races of Christendom. Austria remains as
dubious as she has ever been heretofore. Prussia
still coquets with the supreme absolutism of St.
Petersburgh. France betrays, through the by no
means inaudible avowals of her EMPEROR, a re-
solve to tolerate no longer the lawless designs
and arrogant policy of the Russian AUTOCRAT.
Meanwhile the Turks are more than ever infuriated
by the timidity of their allies, and the detestable
cruelty of their assailants—the Muscovites, on the
other hand, being more than ever inflamed to a
lust of battle, and a passion for bloodshed by their
recent and reiterated successes over their Moslem
neighbours. Precisely at this juncture the inti-
mation vouchsafed to the people of England
through the organs of the Coalition, by way of
solace, or encouragement, is actually to the effect
that Peace depends now entirely on—What ?
Listen !--" The will of the AUTOCRAT." What
a solid foundation this for hope as to the
speedy restoration of the world to tranquillity !
Everything reposes now on " the will of the AUTO-
CRAT." Not on the Four Powers—the Allies of
Turkey—they have transmitted their final propo-
sitions to Constantinople. Not on Turkey her-
self—sloe has accepted those propositions frankly
and readily on two conditions , namely, on the
understanding that the integrity of her empire is
to be guaranteed, and that the twin provinces of
1101110-Wallachia are to be evacuated. The final
decision, therefore, has to be awaited, not
from Stamboul, or from Paris, or from
Vienna, or from Berlin, or from the sacred
precincts of Downing-street but from St.
Petersb u rgli. In other words, Europe is meekly
to listen for its doom from the magnanimity, the
wisdom, the justice, and the moderation of the
CZAR. What a prospect ! How exhilarating—

AUSTRIAN FlNANCES.—According to the German
papers the Austrian Budget for 1854 will show a deficit
of 45,000,000 florins (4,500.0001.) on the ordinary ser-
vice, and 50,000,000 florins (5,000,0001.) on the extra-
ordinary—a result that may lead to a serious catastrophe,
and fully accounts for the refusal of the eminent bankers
at home and abroad to enter on a contract for a new
loan with the Austrian Government.

WRO WILL CUT THE TIGER'S NAILS ?-Mr. Valiance
appeared at the police-court, Hull, last week, and called
the attention of the sitting magistrates to the miserable
condition of the tiger ".t the Hull Zoological Gardens.
He said that it had for some time suffered much in con-
sequence of its nails growing and cutting its flesh, the
poor animal being almost unable to put its feet to the
ground. He understood it was considered dangerous to
do anything to the nails, but he nevertheless thought it
a proper case for investigation by the magistrates, and
he wished to know whom he could summon ? Mr.
WManus suggested that chloroforni should be admi-
nistered to the animal, under the influence of which he
thought its nails could be cut without danger. The
magistrates said they had no power to interfere in the
matter,--Hull Paper.
