AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY.
The United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Capt.
Eldridge, arrived here this morning from New York,
with the usual mails, 63 passengers, and $21,000
in specie. She left New York on the sth instant.
Capt. Eldrige reports that at 4 p.m. commenced
one of the most severe gales from E.S.E. ho had
over experienced, it lasting all night and most of
the 6th inst., in which he lost his starboard guard
board. During the remainder of the voyage easterly
winds.
The Royal mail-ship Canada, hence on the 22d
ult., had not reaohed Halifax at 2 a.m. on the sth
inst.

In the United States Senate on the 3d inst. the
report of the Secretary of the Treasury was pre-
sented, and 10,500 copies were ordered to be
printed. Senator Hale then made a severe attack
upon the President's Message, the manner of its
transmission to Congress, and its author's presi-
dential aspirations. Mr. Wilson offered a resolu-
tion calling on the President for information rela-
tive to the state of affairs in Kansas. The Senate
then adjourned till Monday. In the house Mr.
Walker offered a resolution declaring Mr. Boyce
(dem.), of South Carolina, Speaker. Amendments
were severally proposed, substituting the names of
Messrs. Banks and Pennington. The resolution
was finally tabled by 66 majority. Three additional
votes for Speaker were then taken, and on the last
and ninetieth trial Mr. Banks still wanted 6 votes
of an election.

In the New York Senate, on the 4th inst., a bill
was presented to amend the general banking law as
far as relates to bonds and mortgages as a basis for
banking. It is the same as the bill introduced last
year providing for a margin of 20 per cent. on
mortgagp. deposited by banks. In the Assembly
seven additional votes for Speaker were taken with-
out change in the result. Both branches adjourned
till the 7th.

An interesting report on the effect of the recipro-
city treaty between the United States and Canada
was made by the Hon. J. Phillips Phenix, at a
meeting of the New York Chamber of Commerce
held on the 3d inst. From this document it appears
that the trade between the two countries has quad-
rupled during the last three years, and is only
exceeded by two countries, viz., England and
France. Its value is nearly equal to the commerce
of the latter. The report recommends Congress to
still farther extend the principles of the reciprocity
treaty, by admitting other articles of produce free.
A. report was also made on the usury laws, in which
the Chamber adheres to their formerly expressed
opinion in favour of their entire abolition by the
State Legislature.
The financial statement of the commissioners of
Emigration for the year ending December 31, 1855,
shows that the total indebtedness of the commis-
sioners is 63,031 dols ic. During the year 136,233
emigrants have arrived at New York, which is
182,990 less than the number that arrived during
the year 1854.
The other news by this arrival has been antici-
pated by the Asia, last arrived.

The CHAIRMAN announced the resignation of Mr. J.
Wilkinson, one of the members of the board for the pa'
rish of St. Pancras ; consequently the objection to a
member of the board offering himself for a paid office
was got rid of.

Mr. H. L. TAYLOR announced to the board that, at 0
meeting of the Common Council held yesterday, it was
unanimously agreed to place the council-room at the .
service of this board for their meetings so long as they
might require it. (Applause.)
A vote of thanks was unanimously accorded to thp
members of the Common Council for their kind offer.
The CHAIRMAN said that he had carefully gone through
the applications for the office of Clerk, and found that
out of the 31 candidates, seven of them—Messrs. Stoner, '
Tabrahaw, Buckton, Yall, Burt, and Freeth—were not
of the legal profession, and that Mr. Wallington had
withdrawn his name. As the board had decided that
the clerk should be of the legal profession, he had re-
moved their names from the list.

A resolution was prnposed that the election should be
proceeded with by putting the names of the candidates
to the board seriatim, reducing the number to two. An
amendment was proposed that the number should be
20 reduced ti) 6. On a division the amendment was
carried.

The list was then reduced to the following gentlentsn: -
—Messrs. Curling, Woolrych, Cook, Wilkinson, haag.
son, and Conde.

A discussion took place whether the candidates should
address the board, or their written applications and tes-
timonials be read, in the course of which same strong
remarks were expressed on printed slips hating been
forwarded to the members, containing extracts from
Hansard of speeches delivered in the House of Coin-
mons reflecting on the conduct of one of the candidates.
lt was ultimately resolved that the applications should
be read, and that the candidates also address the board.
The applications were then read, and the candidates
addressed the board, Mr. Woolrych being subject to a
strict examination relative to the manner in which he
had discharged the duties of clerk to the late com-
mission.

The board then proceeded to the election, when th•
numbers were for

Ist. 2d. 3d. 4th. sth,
Mr. Curling
Mr. Cook

Mr. Wilkinson
Mr. Isaacson
Mr. Coode

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE

CITY, Two o'CLoCK.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
very firmly, at advanced prices, in consequence of
the favourable news respecting the war. In the
Railway Share Market there was a considerable
business done, and in many instances prices rose
upwards of 3 per cent.

Although the aggregate transactions in the Colo-
nial Produce Markets have continued of a limited
character during the week, there has been rather
more disposition to make purchases. The inquiry
for sugar has slightly increased, and former rates
have been maintained. Coffee has ruled exceed-
ingly quiet, and no alteration in prices has oc-
curred. Tea at public sales has sold slowly, and
ARUM kinds declined 2d. to 3d. per lb. In Spices
the dealings have been quite of a retail character,
and Pimento is rather cheaper. Rice has been
Very dull, and has receded 9d. to la. per cwt.
Tallow has been steady, but quiet. Yesterday,
however, an entire change was apparent in the
markets for all the principal staples, and fuller
prices were in most, cases current. Holders of
some articles declined to sell at previous quotations.
The business transacted, therefore, was exceedingly
limited, and the quotations were chiefly nominal.
If the negotiations for
peace proceed satisfactorily
a very marked alteration is expected in the condi-
tion of these markets.

Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Co. report the market
for American Securities as still inactive. The pre-
sent quotations (for the Most
part nominal) are as
follows :

peace re-established.

FRANCE.
PARTS, THURSDAY EVENING.
We have had a day of great excitement in Paris.
The Government caused a notification to be posted
up at tho Bourse, a little after 10 o'clock, stating
that Russia had accepted the ultimatum of the allies,
" pur et simple." The funds rose sfr. as the news
was received with the cries of " Five l'Empereur !"
whilst every body told his neighbour--" La Russie
accepte les propositions !"
The original official despatch to the French Go-
vernment is thus worded :
LS MINISTRE DE FRANCE AU MINISTRE DES AFFAIRES

ETRANGERES.
" Le Comte Esterhazy 6crit aujourd'hui de Pdters-
bourg quo M. de Nesselrode vient de lui notifier l'accep-
tation pur et simple des propositions contenues dans
l'ultimAturn, lesquelles propositions devront servir de
proiliminaires de pair.
" Rep a midi of demi, et publii d'apres les ordres de
S. Ezc. M. le ministre de l'interieur, le 17 janvier 1856.
"Le commissaire de la Bourse,
HunAut"

(TRANSLATION.)
" Count Esterhazy writes to-day from St. Petersburg
that M. Nesselrode has just notified the acceptance,
pure and simple, of the propositions contained in the
ultimatum, which propositions are to serve as the pre-
liminaries for peace.
" Received at half-past 12 o'clock, and published by
order of his Excellency the Minister of the Interior.
" Jan. 17, 1856." (Signed) " HUBAUT.
There is, therefore, no doubt that Russia has
accepted the ultimatum, It only remains to be
proved if she is sincere and ready honestly to
negotiate on the bases which the allies have thought
proper to impose.
The Parisian evening papers make some brief
commente on the hopes of peace.
The Presse observes, if it is not peace, we have
never appeared to be so near it since the commence-
ment of hostilities.

The Patric thinks with the Debats that the Em-
peror of Russia is desirous of peace, being con-
vinced that his Government should rather dedicate
its efforts to internal reforms than aggressive wars.

gree, not obtainable as a matter of course or without
examination, which entitles him to practise as an advo-
cate. He (Mr. Chadwick) had in his possession a draft
of regulations proposed to insure a training yet
more special, to be tested for this branch of the civil
service, as with us now for the artillery, by competitive
examinations. So far as the regulations already in force
in France have been carried they have been attended
by increased efficiency everywhere, and often by marked
superiority. Of this he could give them an example :
The Bey of Tunis, seeing and experiencing how well the
business of France was done at Tunis by the French Con-
sul, M. Lesseps, offered to him a double salary if he
would undertake in France the business of Tunis. The
French Government did not refuse, and the former
French Consul now acts as the Charge d'Affaires of
Tunis at the French Court. (Applause.) He might, if
time permitted, show at length what a support the com-
petitive examinations for public appointments in France
are to the educational institutions of that country—how
far they influence beneficially the commercial affairs of
that country—how much private and professional ser-
vice is now assisted by being recruited from the talent
developed by the competitive examinations for the pub-
lic service ; and how much was to be expected from them
in this country, it the reform commenced were effec-
tually supported by the constituencies, and properly con-
ducted.
It was stsconded by the Rev. H. H. JONES, and carried
unanimously.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW Yong, Jan. 5.
Exchange.—Prices were nearly the same as before,
but the business was limited, contrary to the expecta-
tions of sellers, who looked for a large demand, fur re-
mittances of dividends, interest, &c. The market in
general closes flatly. We quote bills on London, 7A
to 8,2 per cent. prem.
Cotton.—The circular of T. J. Stewart and Co., of
this date, says :—"Since the 24th ult. the market has
been quiet ; but holders have offered their supplies so
sparingly that prices have been well maintained.
The sales, up to 31st ultimo were about 700
bales daily ; on that day they rose to 2,200 bales.
The amount of business since was, 1,000 bales on Wed-
nesday, 900 bales on Thursday,and 1,200 yesterday, clos-
ing very firm at our quotations. In regard to the crop
the tone of public sentiment is that, with ordinary navi-
gation, at the present scale of prices, 3,500,000 bales
will be delivered at the ports. The receipts at New Or-
leans,
by mail dates so far, although 261,000 bales i❑
excess of last year, are only from the Mississippi and
Ouachita rivers, but little having been received from Red
River, which is still unnavigable, except near its mouth,
and contains nearly three crops ; nor any from several
other important tributaries of the Mississippi. At our
last advices many streams in that particular section were
falling, so that it will not do to compare the receipts
with 1852, when navigation was generally free. From
South Carolina and Alabama we have for the past
week had advices of heavy rains, and from their
volume in the latter state we are satisfied that the
rivers are at this moment navigable for the largest class
of boats. The amount of cotton still in the fields is re-
presented as large for the advanced state of the season,
and every effort is being made to get it in. In regard
to the course of prices we offer no opinion ; public sen-
timent favours an improvement at present, even with
3,500,000 bales.

THE MURDER IN BEDFORD ROW.

LATEST PARTICULARS.

It was confidently expected that the proceedings at
the coroner's inquest would at once throw light upon
the circumstances which, in the light of day and in the
open streets of London, have led to the perpetration of
so horrid a tragedy. We gather that both the victim
and his assassin are natives of Somersetshire ; that the
father of the latter committed suicide some four years
ago while in an unsound state of mind ; and that he
left behind him some property, which was divided be-
tween the prisoner and his brother. Mr. Waugh was
solicitor to the father, and at his death continued to act
in that capacity for the sons. It is also stated that the-
prisoner has been several times in confinement for in-
sane acts, and that the impression under which
he laboured, that the deceased bad acted Un-
justly towards him, is declared by his brother to
be utterly without foundation. He is said to have
had so many disputes with Mr. Waugh, and to have in-
sulted him so grossly on different occasions, theA the
latter gave up his business, and was obliged oft one oc;
casion to have him bound over to keep the peace before
Mr. Corrie, the magistrate. The deceased leaves a
widow, two daughters, and a son, who holds an ensigncy
in the 2d Surrey Militia, to deplore his melancholy
death. Westron appears to have been watching for some
time an opportunity to fall upon his victim, for on Tues-
day morning Mr. Waugh told his chief clerk that the
prisoner had been dogging his steps when out with his
daughter in the neighbourhood of his residence, at Not-
ting-hill. As was to have been expected, the event has
caused a most painful sensation in the neighbourhood,
and during yesterday groups of people were collected in
front of the deceased gentleman's house and on the
spot where he was shot.

London, England, 1856-01-18

rantee the truth of the statement about to be given 14
Mr. Mitchell.
}
The statement was then banded to Mr. Wakley, and
was as follows :
t
"I, Henry Sadler Mitchell, of 5, Great Prescott-street,
' Goodman's fields, vestry clerk of the parish of St. Mary,
Whitechapel, state that I was on terms of very great
[ intimacy with the late Mr. Waugh, with whom I Was
partner for seven years, expiring in March last. That 1
was on terms of great intimacy with his family, and wil*
during the partnership a constant visitor at his house
occasionally so since the partnership. That I was wel
acquainted with the transactions between the deceased
and the prisoner. That the deceased, a 3 the 801iel.
tor, and his family, some two or three years ag°
instituted a suit in Chancery, and by his ability
and perseverance gained for them an estate
worth several thousands of pounds. That attempts Were
made to sell the property, which were greatly frustrated
by the extraordinary conduct of the prisoner, much to
the annoyance of some if not of all the rest of the Pt
goner's family. That at length the prisoner was induced
to consent to sell his share of the property to some a
the rest of his family, and Monday last was appointed
for the completion of the transaction, but again owing
to the extraordinary conduct of the prisoner, al"
though the money furnished to Mr. Waugh WC
ready before, it could not then be settled. That
the deceased had advanced the prisoner moneys 0°
account of his share, and had throughout the transaction
acted with great kindness and forbearance towards him,
although he had been greatly provoked by him. That
some few weeks ago the prisoner sent the deceased a
threatening letter, and the deceased brought him be' ,
fore a magistrate, but as Mr. Waugh did not press
the charge severely against him, the magistrate die-
charged him without compelling him to enter into
his recognisances, his giving an assurance that be
would not again annoy Mr. Waugh. That I hays
every reason to believe that Mr. Waugh did not
press the charge against him from motives of kindness,
fearing that if called upon to enter into recognisances he
would not be able to find a surety, and would be ince'
cerated, perhaps, for souse considerable time. That the
statements made by the prisoner when taken into
custody, that Mr. Waugh had ruined him or
cheated him out of his estate, and observation'
to the same effect are entirely false. I may sal
that, if any client was indebted to a solicitor
for his exertions, the prisoner was to the late
Mr. Waugh. That the deceased, besides baying ae
extensive business, was possessed of a large private for'
tune, and had no motive whatever to keep the prisoner
out of one shilling he was entitled to. That I am lee
duced to make this statement out of respect ito the
memory of my departed friend, which may be injured
by the statements of the prisoner. I may say, in con
elusion, that I know him to have been a good hasband, /
a kind and indulgent father, and a generous and warns'
hearted friend."
The proceedings then terminated.
