[A. summary of the following appeared in our
paper of yesterday :-3
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, Dec. 29.
By the arrival of the Royal Mail steam-ship, America,
Shannon commander, we have received advices from
New York to the 17th instant. She has 1,121,579
dollars in specie on freight.
The America sailed from New York at 1 10 P.M.
on the 17thiinstant, with a strong breeze from the west-
north-west. She made Cape Clear at midnight on
the 27th; at eight A M. yesterday, off Waterford, she
passed the Royal Mail steam- ship Cambria, forßos ton ;
and saluted the Rock Lighthouse shortly before two
o'clock this morning, having made the run in 11 days
8 hours mean time.
The Royal Mail steam-ship Niagara, Stone, with
the mails from Liverpool of the 30th ult., arrived at
Boston on the 13th inst.
The United States' screw steam-ship Pioneer,
Eldridge, commander, which gilled from Liverpool on
the 22d ult., arrived at New York on the 13th inst.
The Christiana treason atrial, for the rescue of the
fugitive slaves, in which the owner was killed, has
ended in the acquittal of Hallway, and the withdrawal
of all the other indictments.
The Forrest divorce case was still proceeding, and
still likely to occupy several days. Mr. Forrest
himself had been examined.
Mr. G. V. Brooke, the actor, bad made a tolerably
successful debut at the Broadway Theatre, as Othello.
An awful domestic tragedy occurred near St.
John, N. 8., on the 7th instant. A crazy man, after
calling his family to prayer, attacked and killed his
wife, two children, and an aunt, and verydangerously
injured four other persons.
The principal subjects of interest in Congress had
been the debates on the reception of Kossuth and on
the Compromise Acts.
The proceedings of Kossuth continue to occupy
the columns of the New York papers to the
exclusion of other matter. The greatest en-
thusiasm prevailed, and contributions of money in
aid of the Hungarian cause, as represented by
Kossuth, were freely offered. The New YorA
Herald gives the following brief sketch of the princi-
pal doings for the week ending on the 16th inst.
The length to which the speeches extend prevents us
from giving them in full :
" Kossuth's speech on Thursday at the metropo-
litan banquet, is by far the greatest he has made since
he came to this country, and the greatest he ever
made in the English language. Not only does he
completely vindicate himself' and his country's cause
for the past, but he clearly develops his policy for the
future. The prejudices and misapprehension which
had been excited by Austrian guile, and the advocates
of civil and religious despotism all over the world,
have disappeared before his plain, unvarnished tale,'
like mist before the morning sun. He makes out a
most triumphant case for Hungary. The banquet of
the New York city press to Kossuth, at the Astor
House, on Monday night, was in some points an
elegant, and in others a very curious affair. The
dinner was excellent. The admission of the ladies to
hear the speech of Kossuth was an excellent feature ;
for without them the assemblage of ' the tall and
wise, and reverend and juvenile beads' of the corps
editorial and reportorial would have exhibited rather
a dry gathering. But the speech of Kossuth is ex-
ceedingly interesting. As for the rest it was exceed-
ingly stupid and unintellectual. The whole affair
appears to have been riot up for the spe-
cial glorification of the Tribune and Times. We
learn, on undoubted authority, that a very important
passage which Kossuth intended to deliver in his
speech, and which was actually in the manuscript
which he read, was suppressed, on second considera-
tions, from motives of delicacy to Colonel Webb, who
was one of the hosts, though he did not come to en-
tertain his guest. The passage seriously implicated
the ex-Charge to Austria, and will probably soon be
given to the public by Kossuth in another shape.
When the great exile was in Kutayah he received a
copy of an article from Vienna, having been taken by
a friend from the very bureau of the Cabinet, and he
was informed this article would afterwards appear in
a New York paper. In a few weeks it will appear.
This is a serious affair, and it is due to the cause
of Kossuth to give the matter to the public in his
own words. The presentation of Kossuth to

SECRETARY (ad interim).
Mr. George Frederick Goodman.
This Company being now completely registered, the Directors
take the earliest opportunity of laying before the Shareholders a
statement of its progress and prospects.
It may be confidently asserted that no Company was ever brought
before the public with equal prospect of speedy and successful
results.
The prompt assistance afforded by the Shareholders to the Direc-
tors, and the perfect confidence in the management displayed by
them, have enabled the Directors to take such steps as must ensure
an enormous dividend within a few months.
Sir Henry Huntley, the resident Director in California, has been
in that country five months, and the course adopted by the Directors
for carrying out this enterprise results from the experience obtained
by him daring that period. The instructions given to Sir Henry
Hunt ey were, in effect, that he should make every possible inquiry
relative to the state of the country, the tenure of land, the com-
parative merits of the different quartz veins in the several districts
of California, and after mature deliberation to advise the Directors
as to their best course of proceeding, and to take such measures as
would enable them to carry out his views as speedily as possible.
Following these instructions, he has secured for the benefit of the
Company, sufficient lands for all mining purposes ; but he is clearly
of opinion, that for the present, at least, it is not desirable to under-
take mining operations, but to crush and ama'gamate quartz to
be supplied by those who are possessed of mines, and have raised
the quartz. With the assistance of some gentlemen of great
experience to geology and mining matters, he has inspected and
tested a great variety of veins in the Mariposa, Nevada, Grass
Valley, and other districts, and has come to the conclusion,
upon sound reasons, that the vicinity of Grass Valley and
Nevada City, is that which affords the greatest advantages for car-
rying on our enterprise. He has, therefore, entered into an agree-
ment with some American gentlemen, who have formed a company,
and have opened, and, to a considerable extent, worked a vein of
quartz, di.tant about three miles from Grass Valley and Nevada
City, and about thirty miles from Sacramento City, to crush and
amalgamate the quartz to be raised from the mine opened by
them. By means of machinery, he has already cru bed
and amalgamated considerable quantities of the quartz sup•
plied, hint ftom this mine; and the rssalt of his operations
has been to satisfy himself that the vein is of a full average
richness, and that the locality offers many important advantages in
the way of water, fuel, means of transit, Sec., Sec. He has, there-
fore, entered into a formal agreement with that Company, which, in
a few words, amounts to this: he is to be supplied by them with as
much quartz as his machinery shall be found capable of crushing;
the quartz is to be deposited at the mills free of expense ;
ha is to crush and amalgamate it at his own expense, and
he geld produced is to be divided equally between the owners
of the vein arid our Company. Formal and legal agreements
for carrying out the above arransement fairly and honestly, and
without any copartnership, have been entered into. Steam-engines
and machinery estimate I to crush about thirty tops of quartz a day,
with fends sufficient for putting it in motion, have been placed under
the control of Sir Henry Huntley; arsd, unless some unexpected
de'ay has arisen, the machinery is now actually at work, and a
return will be made about Christmas next.
For the satisfaction of the existing shareholders of this Company,
and without wishing, in any manner, to deteriorate from the merits
of other Companies, the Directors ale desirous of calling attention
to some of the more prominent advantages possessed by this Com-
pany over others now in the field. Shareholders in other Companies
must mainly rely up et reports sent over by persons interested in
selling the mine; we rely upon the reports of our own resident
Director and his practical assistants on the spot, whose only
interest is to give us facts. The Directors of other
Companies generally base the estimate of the value of
their mine upon calculations founded on exeeriments
upon a few pieces of specimen quartz, sent over to this country for
the express purpose of advertising the commodity offered for sale to
the British public; we found our calculations upon experiments
tried, during several weeks, on quartz raised from the mine, and
crushed and amalgamated by our own Superintendent, and with our
own machinery and apparatus. Other Companies propose to
incur the expense and risk of carrying out mining operations
upon their vein, before the quartz arrives at their mill, and, should
their labours prove successful, they must then pay out of their
profits large per-centages for obtaining their leases, and large royal
ties to their lessors ; whereas we have secured as much quartz es
our machinery is capable of crushing, the title to which is as secure
as that of any other company, unfettered by any per-centage or
royalty. The half of the produce to be paid by this Company to the
parties who supply us, free of expense, with the quartz, being in fact
merely equivalent to the dividend upon the outlay of capital ex-
pended in raising the quartz, and lodging it at the mill. All the
new companies, unlike this, must be a consi ierable time before
their arrangements and machinery can be ready for carrying out
their schemes—this Company alone is actually at work.
The paid-up capital of the Company will not exceed 20,000/. An
almost Certain estimate of the produce of our machinery can be
formed, and, from the calculations made, the Directors confidently
anticipate Wing able even at the most moderate estimate, to afford
a dividend of 200 per cent., at the least, within the next twelve
months. According to the data furnished to us, the quartz which
we are now working yields upon an average 4d. per pound, or 1/.
17s. 4d. per cwt., or VI. 65. Bd. per ton; and, as we can crush and
amalgamate at least 20 tons per diem, that would amount to 7461.
13s. 4d., or 373/. s. Bd. per diem as the share of this Company.
By the peculiar arrangements this Company has made, based
upon practical experience, the economy in working expaniCs must
necessarily be such as to render the current outlay most trifling.
In case circumstances should induce the Directors to alter the
system now adopted, and lead them to undertake mining operations
of their own, arrangements have been made securing four distinct
sites, most carefully selected for their eligibility for mining pur-
poses, and Sir Henry Huntley has on the spot Cornish miners who
went out with him, and who have voluntarily retendered him their
services.
The gentlemen who formed the Provisional Committee of this
Company, have added to their number several gentlemen possessing
the acquaintance and entire confidence of a very large body of
Shareholders in the provincial districts. To add such men to the
Directory was due to those Shareholders who have in fact estab-
lished and nobly supported this Company. Measures will be taken
for further augmenting the Directory, and a Special General Meet-
ing of the Shareholders will be convened for the middle of January.
In conclusion, the Directors beg to offer their best thanks to the
Shareholders for the uniform support they have received, and they
pledge themselves that the affairs of this Company shall be con-
ducted with the most rigid economy, and with the sole view of for-
warding the interest of the Shareholders.
The Directors beg to call the attention of Shareholders particularly
to the fact that, from the system adopted by this Company, it can-
not be affected by the question now agitated between the holders of
leases aed Colonel Fremont or his agents. The district selected for
the operations of this Company is far removed from the tract claimed
by Colonel Fremont. The difficulty arising out of the many points
now reefed relative to the tenure of land under leases, had been long
known to and was maturely considered by those having the control
of the affairs of this Company, and was one of the reasons which in-
duced them to pursue for the present the course they have, and not
to incur certain heavy expenses with doubtful results.
The Directors trust that Shareholders will approve of the prudence
of the course they have adopted.
Prospectuses may be had upon application at the offices of the
Comp tny.

strong arms and willing hearts for defence against
despotism, his features become animated, and he
launches out into such oratory as but few, if any,
speakers ever equalled. Towards the conclusion
Kossuth remarked that be had been presented with
an American sword, which he held in his hand, and
made a solemn vow that it should be always faithful
in the cause of freedom—ever first in battle, and never
polluted by ambition or cowardice."
Kossuth had published the following addresses :
" TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.
" New York, Dec. 12.
" Having come to the United States to avail my-
self, for the cause of my country, of the sympathy
which I had reason to believe existed in the heart of
the nation, I found it my duty to declare, in the first
moments of my arrival, that it is my mission to plead
the independence of Hungary and the liberty of the
European continent, before the great Republic of the
United States. My principle in this respect is, that
every nation has the sovereign right to dispose of its
own domestic affairs without any foreign interference;
that I, therefore, shall not meddle with any domestic
concerns of the United States, and that I expect from
all the friends of my cause not to do anything in re-
pect to myself that could throw difficulties in my
way, and, while expressing sympathy for the cause,
would injure it.
" It is withitegret that I must feel the necessity of
again making that appeal to the public opinion of this
country, and particularly to those who profess them-
selves to be the friends of my cause, to give one proof
of their sympathy by avoiding every step which
might entangle EDO in difficulties in respect to that
rule which I have adopted, and which I again declare
to be my leading principle, viz., not to mix, and not
to be mixed up with whatever domestic concerns or
party questions.

AR E A
A few nights back, in health and spirits prime,
I went to rest about my usual time,
Nor did the clock a dozen minutes number,
Before I sank into a peaceful slumber. •
And while I thus reposed upon my bed,
A sound of music floated round my head ;
For, understand, although I was asleep,
Some little consciousness [ seemed to keep ;
So, when I heard the music, soft and sweet,
I knew the Christmas waits ware in the street.
I listened to their strains in various modes,
And f ndiy thought of Pope's and Drydeu's Odes,
In which, by either poet, we are told,
•
Of what the famed musicians did of old ;
And while I heard the music of the watts,
I pictured harpers at the castle Rates,
And many a fond romantic scene arose,
Till music steeped me in a deeper doze.
A curious dream then came across my mind,
Original and novel in its kind :
Methought that HYAM was desired to call
On Father Christmas at his ancient hall;
The object of the visit was not stated,
And nothing in the least was intimated,
yet HYAM. from his manner, seemed to guess
Some special refrence with regard to dress,
And making up his mind without lelay,
Thcalled en Christmas on the appointed day.
The abode of Father Christmas was a pile
precisely in the old baronial sty le ;
A noble English mansion did it seem,
And much did it delight me in my dream.
Thick on its lawn the holly bushes grew,
The smiling mistletoe and myrtle, too,
While verdant bays and laurel boughs were seen
To vary pleasingly the winter green.
HYAM arrived precisely to his time,
And found the "festive father" in his prime;
His oyes were bright, his cheeks were full of glow,
Just as they were five hundred years ago.
" Good morning, sir (said Christmas), how d'ye do "
"Good morning, sir (said HYAM), how are you ?"
And thus the usual compliments were passed,
Till business things were introduced at last.
" I sent for you (said Christmas), to enquire
What stock you have of gentlemen's attire
pm rather anxious, Sir, for your reply,
As Christmas time is now so very nigh,
A few more days, and we shall find it here,
With all its happiness and social cheer
And I'm ambitious (said the good old sire)
Of seeing all appear in good attire.
A sumptuous feast is very well, I know,
And glad I am my subjects find it so :
I love the feast, the holly, and the log—
But what are these without a change of tog ?'
While we're attending to the inner man,
We all
ought to mind the outward we can.
And, therefore, Mr. HYAM, do I ask,
How you, this season, have performed your task ?
i scarcely have a doubt (continucd he),
That what you've done will be approved by me ;
But notwithstanding this, I wish to hear
What you've performed in your extensive sphere ?"
Here Christmas paused—nor need I tell you why,
He merely paused, awaiting a reply.
" Father (said lIYAM, with respectful bow),
If I was ever honoured, it is now;
And I'm prepared, without one ' if or but,'
To answer every question you have put.
The preparations I have made (said HYAM),
Will satisfy the multitudes that try 'em.
All kinds of Christmas dress—designed anew,
At my Establishment are brought to view.
I've winter wrappers, good in make and cloth,

That all my goods are s old extremely low.
Economy has ever been my law,
And from this rule I never will withdraw."
" Hear, hear (said Christmas, rising froth his chair),
That's famous, Mr. HYAM,I declare.
I wish you much success, nor do I doubt
That thousands will by you be well-rig g'd out.
I'll not omit to recommend your dress

KOSSITTII'S VIEWS RELATIVE TO rRANCE:

" Europe is to-day divided in two camps; on one
side that of the despots, the Czar, the Austrian Em-
peror, and all the Sovereigns who follow in their
track ; on the other side, the camp of the oppressed
peOplea who aspire to independence—Hungary, Italy,
Germany, to which it is necessary to join France,
who was the first to enter the arena. Between these
two camps are found the two great neutral Powers—
the United States and England—which I wish to in-
duce to unite, in order that they may counterbalance
the Russian influence and prevent the Czar from in-
terfering in our national struggles. I could not rank
France among the neutral Powers, since she is with us
and for us. Ido not speak of the Government of M.
Bonaparte, with which I have nothing to do, and the
existence of which is very near its end ; but I know that
we can rely with all security upon the French nation.
From the day w hen she will have again her free
arbiter--and that day is not far distant—the Euro-
pean people know that they will find her in the first
ranks of the great struggle which they have to pur-
sue against, despotism. This is the reason, gentle-
men, ,;thy the name of France is not found in my
speeehes in connexion with those of England and
the United States. France is an ally, a sister for
oppressed nations ; she walks under the same flag ; it
would be to disown her mission and destiny, to rank
her among the powers which have not. yet direct
engagements in our cause, and the support of which
we look for obtaining. I was very glad to give you
these explanations, and you can make use of them ;
but I will take care, besides, to seize the first oppor-
tunity in order to publicly unfold what I have first
said to you. I knew for a long time how to eppraie
the great French nation, and I do not want to see
every one mistaking the sentiments I feel in her
respect."

The Parliamentary ele6ions in Upper Canada, so
far a 3 they had taken place, had resulted favourably
to the Mini3terial party.

the action of planters. A large and influential class of

but little from those of last season, and the stocks ofthr;
raw material being exhausted in spinners' hands, both
at home and abroad, prices are sustained above the parity
of the low limits received. What will be the future
action of planters, therefore, it is important to ascertain.
We incline to the question that the receipts will 'be
heavy between the 15th of January and the Ist of March.
and subsequently depend upon the prospects of the
planting season, but we do not expect at any period as
low rates as those early anticipated, unless produced by
political disturbances in Europe. On this subject there
is at this moment an uneasy feeling, which tends more
to restrict operations than any apprehension that the
crop will prove excessive for the want of consumption.
BREADSTUFFS.-Tbe closing of our canal and. river
navigation about ten days earlier this year than usual,
which has taken place since my last circular was dated,
has made "an important change in the flour and grain
market. Influenced by this fact, and an exceedingly
light market-estimated at not over 400,000 barrels of
all kinds of flour and 200.000 bushels of wheat
,(and by
many thought to bo much less)-prices have almost
daily advanced, and the quotations below kh n-
creased (within the last lottnight) of 371 c. to . c. per
bbl. on flour, Be. to 10c. per bushel on wheat, 40. per
bushel on Indian corn, and 50. on rye. The demand,

Flour-There is but little afloat, and the article from
store is not being freely offered by holders, leaving the
market firm but inactive. Tho larger portion of the
stock consists of fancy extra qualities, not suitable for
the usual shipping orders. The closing rates are 4

MI?. RAHSHAY BIND THE LIVERPOOL

COUNTY COURT.

The sitting of this court was resumed yesterday
(Monday) morning, before Mr. Joseph Pollock, the
judge. There wore nearly 1,200 eases entered for trial.
Mr. Ramshay, the late judge, did not attend the oourr,
but ho sent a letter to the clerk, dated, " Temple, Deo.
27, 1851," adjourning. the sittings in the following
terms:—

" Sir,—You will please to atijourn the County Court,
when it shall be holden on the 29i,1a inst., to the 27th of
January, A.D. 1852; and I do hereby order the same to
be so adjourned accordingly.
" WILLIAM RAMSEIAT,
" Judge of the County Court of Lancashire,
holden at Liverpool."
This communication was in Mr. Ramabay'a own
handwriting, but no allusion was publicly made to the
circumstance, and the business of the court proceeded
as usual. It had long been generally considered here
that Mr. Ramshay had given up all idea of
testing the validity of his removal from the
judgeship of the Liverpool County Court by
the Earl of Carlisle after the recent inquiry before
his Lordship at Preston ; but this communication, and
other circumstances that have lately transpired, have
very materially altered the general impression. It seems
to be the opinion of the new judge, Mr. Pollock, that
Mr. Ramshay will undoubtedly endeavour to reinstate
himself in his office, for in the course of the day Mr.
Wheeler, solicitor, applied to his Honour to have a ease
reheard which Mr. Ramshay had already decided
against Mr. Wheekr's cient. At the November sitting
a similar application was made to Mr. Pollock by Mr.
Wheeler, but his Konour declined to interfere until the
result of Mr. Ramshay's appeal was known. This
morning his ILnour again postponed the rehearing of
the case until after noxt term, and, from this decision, it
is obvious that ho expects Mr. Ramshay's case to come
before the judges in January.

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS' SCHOOLS.

The annual meeting of this excellent charity was
held yesterday at the London Tavern ; J. Master..
man, Esq., M.P., president of the institution, in the
chair.

After the usual routine business, the report of the
board of management was read by the secretary,
from which it appeared that the total amount of re-
ceipts for the year from all sources was 5,426!. Bs. 4d.
This sum was lower than the recipts of the preceding
year, but in that year extraordinary exertions had
been made to increase the funds, and especially the
building fund. Although the institution had been in
existence five years, it was gratifying to find that
only one case of illness had terminated fatally. Dur-
ing the last twelve months the children enjoyed per-
fect health. The board had expected that they would
have been able to announco that they had met with a
site for building; bat they regretted to say they were
not in a position to do so. Some months ago a formal
application was made to the directors of every rail-
way company having a terminus in London. This
application was favourably entertained, but no site
had as yet been fixed upon, or pointed out to the
satisfaction of the board. The board, however, still
hoped to be able to accomplish this object to the satis-
faction of the friends of the charity. During the
year that has just expired six boys had left the insti-
tution, having completed their term; and it efforded
the board satisfaction to be able to say that, through
the kind and active influence of friends of the charity,
situations had been obtained for these boys, which, by
peraeverance and steadiness, will enable them to fill a
respectable position in life. From the general balance
sheet it appeared that the receipts wore made up as
follows :

STATE OF -TnADE Tito accounts of the state or
trade in the provinces during the past we ..k present no new
feature, and,
Christmas has interfered with the amount of transactions,
are, therefore, upon the whole favourable.
but in some districts the abundance of employment has
caused labour to be less neglected than usual during the
holidays. At Manchester the home inquiry has improved,
but the export business has been rather small. Although
the market cicsed Nr about animation, the lowness of stocks
causes a feeling of confidence. At Birmingham thew has
been no diminution of activity, and the American demand
has been particularly good. From Nottingham it is stated
that most of the manutacturen sue in receipt of orders suffi.
cient to insure occupation for a long time, and that pauper-
ism is unprecedentedly light. In the woollen markets there
have been distinct signs of improvement. The Irish linen
trade has been without alteration.

The letters of allotment for the 400,0001. Canada
Six per Cent. Loan were issued yesterday, and, the scrip WAS
dealt in at 2 preminra.
