THE HOLY PLACES.

The Moniteur publishes the following letter from
Jerusalem, dated the Bth of November
"The firman and vizierial letter which concede to
France the ground which forms the site of the ancient
church of St. Anne arrived at Jerusalem on the 29th Oct.
Three days afterwards, on the Ist Nov.—All Saints Day
—the French Consul, accompanied by the Governor,
Kiamil-Pasha, and by all the Mussulman and Christian
members of the Council of the province, proceeded to
the ancient sanctuary, and solemnly declared that it was
taken possession of in the name of the Emperor, to re-
erect it from its ruins, and to restore it to the Christian
worship. After this ceremony, and after the keys of
the Holy Place had been publicly placed in the hands
of the representatives of France, the judicial autho-
rities, in presence of all assembled, and aided by
the members of the Consulate, proceeded to mark the
boundary of the new French property, which the French
Consul had immediately enclosed.
"This events has filled with joy all the Christians of
the Holy City, who bless the name of France and her
august Sovereign. The Mussulman themselves, who
moreover entertain a great respect for the name of the
Virgin Mary, and who look upon the church of St.
Anne as a venerated spot, did not display any dissatis_
faction at a concession which they consider a mark of
gratitude of their Sovereign for the great services ren-
dered recently by France to their country.
" Until the new consecration of the church of St.
Anne only short masses will be celebrated there on por-
table altars within the sanctuary itself of the church.
This morning the French Consul, accompanied by all
the members of the Consulate, attended the two first
masses, which were held for their Majesties the Emperor
and Empress."

REPRgSENTATION OF SOUTHAMPTON.

SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY.

A rumour, to the effect that Mr. James, one of the
Liberal candidates for the representation of this borough,
had retired in favour of Mr. Weguelin, the governor of
the Bank of England, has been freely circulated to-day.
This, however, is quite at variance with the truth, a
communication having been received from Mr. Jatnee
to-day to the effect that he is determined to go to the
poll.
A meeting of Mr. James's friends (upwards of 100)
was held this evening at his committee-room, when it
was made known that the cauvass in his favour was pro-
gressing in a most satisfactory ,manner.
A deputation from the London shipwrights have
visited this town to induce the Southampton shipwrights
to vote for Mr. James, who defended the former in their
late legal contests. Meeting of the electors in the large
electoral ward of St. Mary's have been addressedwith
success for the last two nights by the adherents of
James.

will be settled
before the lapse of many days. The nature of the
arrangement is, that Mr. Harding, the official manager,
shall band over to Mr. Lee, the official assignee, all the
assets in hand, for the purpose of distriblition among the
creditors. Mr. Harding, the official manager, it is
understood, will continue to discharge the duties more
properly belonging to his office. He will settle the
amount of contributories, decide on the amount of call
which it is necessai y should be made on the shareholders,
and take the requisite steps for enforcing payment
of
those calls. It is estimated that the assets of the bank
will realise about Bs. in the pound, and this sum will be
distributed by Mr. Lee ; the remaining 125., to be called
up from the shareholders, it is understood, will be die.
