PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Jan. 13.—Baron von Seebach passed
through Berlin yesterday morning on his return
to Paris from St. Petersburg. Count Benckendorfri
the Military Representative of Russia here, is
expected to arrive to-day, if he did not do so already
last night ; and Count Stackelberg, who holds the
same office in Vienna, probably arrives there
at the same time. It is put forward here in certain
circles that the Baron's budget of information is td
be first opened in Paris, whence the original im-
pulse to the St. Petersburg journey proceeded,
and throughout the whole affair of the Seebach
mission specifically Prussian circles have attached
more chances of success to-it than to the Austrian
demarches of Count Valentine Esterhazy. The
general belief here is, that the Emperor of Russia
has virtually rejected the proposals put forward by
Austria, but has accepted the ideas put forward by
Baron Seebach ; these latter being understood to be
sure in advance of the approbation of Louis Napoleon
the Emperor has adopted them, and added to them
some others of hit own, which however approximate
to the views of the Western Powers much more nearly
than the contents of the last Nesselrode circular of.
December 22. This is believed to be the gist of,
the communications that will be made officially to
the Austrian Court by Count Stackelberg, cone-
deutially to this Court by Count Benckendorff, and
officieusement to that of Paris by Baron Seebach.
Count Stackelberg is doubtless at the same time the
bearer of an autograph letter to the Emperor of Aug,.
tria, in which the Emperor Alexander expresso%
his warmest thanks for the Austrian endeavours
to promote peace, and the assurance that the Em-
peror wishes for nothing more sincerely than that
the desire of putting an end to the calamities of
war, which has been expressed in so many quarters,
may meet with speedy gratification.

MALTA.

MALTA, Jan. B.—The first meeting of the
Legislative Council of Government for the year
was held on the 3d. instant. All except two
cf the members were present. The excitement
was unusual, in consequence of the second read-
ing of the ordinance to provide for the regu- •
lar admiuistratioa of justice in the Commercial
Court, which had been much interrupted of late
by the Chamber of Commerce withholding the.'
names of the merchants who were qualified to sit
as consuls for the ensuing year. The hon.
Crown advocate, Dr. Dingli, to the surprise
of the Opposition members, rose and pro-
posed the second reading of the ordinance
(the preamble having been altered), which was
seconded by the Hon. Chief Secretary Houlton.
An amendment was then proposed by Mr. Scurri,
which gave rise to a very animated discussion, and
the inconsistency between the Government officers
was attacked. Dr. Bruno, who usually opposes
the Government, most ably supported the argu—
ments of th, hon member the chief secretary, when
a division took place—

COMMON SEAL.

Mr. LowMAN TAYLOR brought up the amended re-
port of the committee for devising a common seal. The
committee suggested that the large seal should have the
arms of Surrey, used by the Clerk of the Peace for that
county, and the arms for Colchester, introduced into
the seal. The cost would be 30 guineas. A small cor•
responding seal, of the same design, would cost four
guineas. That the committee be empowered to carry
out the terms of this report.—Agreed to.

A junction has been effected between the Cunard
Company and the European and Australian Royal Mail
Company calculated at once to bring the new Australian
mail system into complete efficiency. The Cunard Com-
pany are to perform, the Mediterranean portion of the
service with the Etiaa, Jura, and other vessels, while the
Australian and European Company will be able to throw
their whole strength on the portion between Suez and
Melbourne. The Mediterranean service is to commence
from Southampton in February. The united company,
it is added, have engaged to provide a steamer tc carry
mails between Matta and Marseilles in connection with
the ttunk line.

ANTIQUITIES EttO3l KETCH.—Among recent acces-
sions of an interesting character to the British Museum,
not yet generally known to the public, the valuable col-
lection of ancient ornaments and relics obtained from the
catacombs a,t Kertch by Dr. Duncan M`Pherson, late
Inspector-General of Hospitals, Turkish Contingent,
f,,rrn a new feature in the series of antiquities. They
are the result of the excavations carried out at his
expen,e during the recent occupation of Kertch by
the allied armies, and the unfortunate destruction of
the precious collections heretofore procured in the mu-
,,euto at that plaae has
given an increased interest
and value t,) the relics disinterred by Dr. M'Pherson,
and which he has liberally presented to the national
depository.
They comprise, with vases of bronze, terra
cotta, and glass, ivory carvings, ornaments of gold and
other metals, including examples
of a high class
of ancient Greek art, certain objects also of a later age,
but of even greater interest to the English antiquary.
These consist of personal ornaments of bronze, identical
in form with those found in the Anglo-Saxon cemeteries
in cur own country, explored by the Hon. It. Neville
and other archasoinuist:. The presence of these remains
of so distinctly Saxon
Kertch can only a character in the catacombs of
he explained by the supposition that
they are vestiges of some of the Varangian body guards
of the Byzantine Emperors, The Anglo-Saxon origin
of many of those warriors is clearly stated by Ordericus
and other historians. Dr., M`Ptierson will deliver a
memoir on these curious discoveries at the monthly
meeting of the Arch.aefilogical Institute on Friday next.

The purchases of stock in Holland on French account
have not increased of late, and only a limited number of
beasts and sheep are being bought up in Spain, owing to
their unusually high value.

To-day's market was but moderately supplied with fo-
reign stock, the quality of which was good.
The arrival of beasts from our own grazing districts was
seasonably good, and in improved condition. For nearly
all breeds we had a steady demand, and, in most instances,
prices were 2d per 81bs higher than on Monday last. The
best Scots sold readily at 5s per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,000 short-horns, from other parts of
England 700 of various breeds, from Ireland 700 oxen, and
from Scotland 200 Scots.

LATEST

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg says :—" The war
department is busily occupied in replacing in the
storehouses and arsenals the military stores, which
were much diminished during the late war. The
manufactories of Tula and Scossensk have received
large orders for this purpose. The attributions of
the Governor of the Caucasus have been materially
increased. There has been added to the duties of
that officer the superior direction of all the affairs of
the navy onthe eastern coast of the Black Sea, those
of the row-boat flotilla of the Sea of Azoff, of the
cruisers of the Caucasian coast, and of the fleet 10
the Caspian Sea. For this purpose the Governor
of the Caucasus will have under his orders a staff
of naval officers composed of a rear-admiral and
others of inferior grades. These measures prove
that Russia has not renounced her projects in Asia,
and will seek to recover on that side what she has
lost in the Black Sea."
Another letter from St. Petersburg says :—"
the government of Smolensko all the subaltern
civil functionaries have received, on account of the
dearness of provisions, a sum equal to the third of
their salaries. It has been decided also to award
assistance of a similar amount to ecclesiastical em-
ployes, but only in case of absolute necessity, and
in places where articles of food have doubled in
price. In the neighbourhood of Moscow most of
the streams are so hardly frozen that loaded carts
are able to cross them."

On her homeward voyage the Atrato experienced
fine weather, with a heavy swell for a week.

The latest news received at Vera Cruz is, that
Gen. Orihuela, with a part of the garrison of the
city of Puebla, had pronounced against the dictato-
rial power of Senor Cumonfort, proclaiming the
Constitution of 1844, and the annulling of the laws
depriving the clergy and the army of their privi-
leges and ordering the property of the Church to be
sold by auction. The Government troops had made
their appearance at the city, and occupied many
important points, as in the event of the movement
not being quickly subdued it would extend itself.
It has been followed already by similar movements
L.;,t Tampico, Queretaro, and many other towns.
general Almonte has arrived, by the Atrato, as
the ELI voy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten
tiary of Mexico, to settle the Barron difficulty.
A large amount of specie is expected by the next
mail.

The latest intelligence from Nicaragua, received
via Aspinwall, is to the effect that everything is
quiet in the interior, and Walker has forces posted
at San Carlcs, Zaripiqui, and other points.
Thosceamers of the Nicaragua line from New York
and New Orleans had arrived, the former with 300
passengers and the latter with 29 for San Francisco.
The two steamers also brought 450 men for Walker,
well provided with ammunition, arms, and
provisions.

At Custa Rica the coffee crop is ripening and
promises to be a large one.
The news of the pillage of Granada by the allies,
which was received here by way of San Juau del
Norse, had not reached San Jose.

Files of papers to the 10th inst., from Jamaica,
furnish us with the following items :
" Thefhealth of the island still continues very
unsatisfactory ; fever prevailing to a considerable
extent, and assuming, in the ease of newly-arrived
Europeans, the type of yello er fever. Contrary to
all previously received opinions this type of fever
has prevailed, in an almost epidemic fever, at New
Castle Barracks, situated at an elevation exceeding
3,000 feet above the level of the sea."

CITY, Two o'CLootc
Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton
Market on Saturday closed heavily, but prices of
all descriptions were unchanged from the current
rates of the previous day. The sales amounted to
from 6,000 to 7,000 bales. The Railway Share
Market was buoyant, and prices of all the leading
stocks again advanced.
The state of trade in the manufacturing districts
is described in the letters received this morning as
being quiet, as the high quotations still current in
the discount market continue to impede operations.
Increased confidence, however, is entertained, and
soon after the commencement of the new year it is
thought business will become more profitable.
Meanwhile stock taking, and the execution of
outstanding contracts, will be sufficient to produce
activity in the warehouses.
Moderate supplies of gold continue to arrive
from America, notwithstanding the unfavourable
position of the exchange, and from Mexico, also,
there are remittances to a fair extent. From these
two places about 420,000 has been announced this
morning, and it is expected that about the next
Mexican packet will bring between 2,000,000 and
3,000,000 of dollars in specie.
There is a brisk inquiry for discounts this morn-
ing in all directions, owing to the preparations for
the payment of the commercial bills due on Thurs-
day next, when the Consol Account has likewise
to be arranged. During the next two or three
days, therefore, there is likely to be increased stria-
gency. In all cases the minimum charge is fully
paid, except where the paper is of a very first.rate
character, when 61 or 6.4 per cent. is demanded.
The colonial wool sales, at which about 52,000
bales were offered, closed on Saturday. Through-
out the series the biddings were animated, and an
advance of lid. to 2d. was firmly established.
In the advices from Shanghai it is stated that
the extraordinary price of the Carolus dollar, 92
of them only being obtained for 100 teals of silver,
being about 351 per cent. above their intrinsic value,
had induced the pawnbrokers, those engaged in the E
cloth trade, and, in fact, the chief portion of the I
commercial community, to petition the:lntendant 4
of Souchow Singkeang to order foreign merchants 2.
to use the Sycee silver, not dollar,, as the circula-
tive medium, and also to prohibit native dealers
depreciating dollars other than Carolus. 1
From 30,0001. to 35,000/. in gold was taken from s
the Bank of England on Saturday for the Con-
tinent.
