penny per week, but if the boy had the brand of a
conviction sending him 14 doys to prison upon
him, they would give them 7s. or Bs. per week
for rubbing it out, if possible !" Than which
assuredly nothing could well be more monstrously
unjust, more insensate, or in its influence more
directly demoralising. Dr. GUTHRIE, however, not
by any means content with this, subsequently, in
the course or the harangue to which we aro here
directing public attention, pointed out the flagrant
" inconsistency of the Government making such
large allowances to the schools belonging to the
Established Church, the Free Church, the Episco-
palian Church, and the churches of the other
denominations, when the most of the parents of
the children educated there were perfectly able to
pay for their education ; denouncing the conduct
of the Government in allowing £lOO a year to
the Royal Institution for a nude figure to be
drawn from by the students, while their Ragged
School, as he calculated, would get only £6O for
300 boys and girls rescued from vice and degrada-

tion." Dr. GUTHRIE added—and no wonder—
with
increasing earnestness, "It was a burning
shame, and it was unworthy of the Government to
treat them so, who were saving immortal souls
from destruct;on, and preventing them from grow-
ing up criminals and outcasts. The sum which the
Government was to allo them was two-thirds of
a farthing per day. He would say, perish the
Government money rather than accept such an
inadequate pittance as that !" Closing his
fervent and argumentative address by an appeal to
the benevolent co-operation in the good cause of
every individual man or woman having really at
heart the interests of the advancement of the sys-
tem of these ragged schools and juvenile reforma-
tories. Heartily do we commend his appeal to a
wider audience than that furnished the other day
from among the good citizens of Edinburgh !

In the battle on the 2d the Spaniards lost nearly
600 killed and wounded. The Moors, instead of
burying their dead, burnt them. General Prim's
division bore the brunt of the action, and with little
difficulty drove the Moors from their positions. The
fighting continued until nightfall, and when con-
cluded the Spaniards were in possession of the
positions gained.
Eight thousand Moors retreated southward, to
defend the plains of Tetuan ; a position which, if
carried by assault, would be attended with heavy
loss.

AMERICA.

SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY MORNING.
The screw-steamer Borussia, Capt. Trantmann,
brings New York advices of the 31st ult.
A sudden and severe stringency in the Money-
market on the 30th affected the exchUnges and the
Stock-market considerably ; most bankers were
willing to sell at almost any price they could get,
and foreign exchange must rule very low till the
excitement subsides .

The demand for money caused a general but
slight decline in stocks ; closing quotations were—
Virginia Sixes, 93 to 931; Missouri Sixes, 83 to 83h
Canton, 161 to 17 ; Cumberland Coal, Preferred, 13
to 131; Pacific Mail, 76 ; New York Central, 75 to

in specie.

ARRIYAL OF THE NORTH AMERICAN.
LIVERPOOL, JAN. 11.

The screw steam-ship North American, Captain
Aiton, from Portland on the 31st ult., arrived here
to-day. She toughed at Queenstown yesterday
morning, and a brief summary of her news, ob-
tained by telegraph, has been already published.
The House of Representatives at Washington
was apparently no nearer an organisation than
when it first assembled. An adjournment for a
day or two had been carried by a majority of one.
A discussion of the slavery question had been car-
ried on from day to day, and during one of the
debates a personal dispute sprang up between
Messrs. Grow, of Pennsylvania, and Branch, of
North Carolina, and it was thought probable that
a duel would ensue. Friends were at work, how-
ever, endeavouring to reconcile the parties. In the
latest ballot which was had for a Speaker the De-
mocrats concentrated upon Mr. Scott, of California,
who also received the votes of seven Southern Op-
position members. The Republicans stuek to Mr.
Sherman.

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald says :

"Despatches have been received from Mr. B. Clark, our
Minister at Guatemala, informing our Government in re-
gard t 3 his official protest against the treaty recently ne-
gotiated between Great Britain and llonduras.

" The protest and letter were writt3n some months ago,
since which time he has ascertained they were based upon
incorrect information. A treaty has been entered into be-
tween Great Britain and Honduras, by which all her pre-
tensions to the Bay Islands, as well as the Mosquito protec-
torate, have been definitively abandoned, and fixing the
boundary in accordance with amendments to the Dallas-
Clarendon Treaty agreed to by the Senate.

" The Government has assurances from that of Great
Britain that the latter Power has not entered into, and does
not intend to enter into, any treaty which shall in the least
impair our rights under the Clayton•Bulwer Treaty. She
has all along manifested the most friendly spirit in this
matter, and for the final settlement of this complicated and
vexed question. Should they fail, however, to carry out
their agreements with this Government, the President will
feel compelled to make it a subject of Congressional consi-
deration, and recommend the Abrogation of the Clayton-
Bulwer Treaty."

The 'Washington correspondent of the Yew York
Journal of Commerce (good Democratic authority)
admits that there is no prospect of the M'Lane
Mexican treaty going through the Senate.
In regard to the great fire which had occurred
in New York, the Boston Journal says :
"The conflagration in Beckman-street, New York, on
Thursday morning, was not so disastrous in respect to the
losses as was anticipated at first. The fire swept away 15
buildings, and the aggregate loss is a little less than half a
million of dollars. The total insurance, so far as ascertained,
is 238,500 dols. The checking of the conflagration seems to be
due almost entirely to the two steam fire engines. So in-
tensely cold was the weather that the hand engines froze
up and were rendered useless. If it had not been for the
steam engines there is no telling what would have been the
extent of the conflagration.

Eight citizens of Ottawa, Illinois, had been in-
dicted under the Fugitive Slave Law, for aiding in
the rescue of an alleged fugitive slave.
The reception of Senator Seward by his political
friends in New York, on his return from his Euro-
pean tour, amounted to quite an ovation. A public
reception took place, and crowds flocked to greet
the distinguished leader of the Republican party.
The imports at New York for the year 1859
amounted to 113,152,621 dols., against 60,154,509
dols. in 1858, and 90,534,129 dols. in 1857.

A Washington telegram says :
" The Secretary of the Treasury has invited proposals to
be received until Jan. 31 for 1,110,000 doll. in United
States stock authorised by the Act of June 14, 1858, being
so much of the stock as has been heretofore awarded to
bidders who have failed to deposit the principal and pre-
mium on that amount. This stock will be reimbursable
in 15 years from January last, and bears interest at the rate
of 5 per cent. per annum, payable semi-annually. No bid
will be received below par, and none for any fraction of a
thousand dollars."
In regard to the negro insurrection in' Bolivar, a
St. Louis telegram says :--
"About eleven o'clock on:Monday night the citizens of
Bolivar were aroused by shouting and throwing of stones
on the public square. A-large crowd soon congregated, and
found that a gang of negroes had attacked 'a few white men.
'When a sufficient number of whites were collected they
attacked the negroes, driving them into the wood. The
negroes threatened to burn the town before morning. A
vigilant watch was kept, and all attempts failed. One
negro was dangerously wounded by a pistol shot. Several
were :Aiptured and confined in gaol. The citizens held a
meeting and appointed a vigilance committee, who were
taking active measures to discover those engaged in the
riot. A mountain company was ranging the woods in search
of negroes. The owner of some rebellious slaves was badly
wounded, and only saved himself by flight. Several blacks
have been saverely punished. The greatest excitement
prevailed, and every man was armed and prepared for a
more serious attack. At the latest advices, however, the
excitement had somewhat subsided."
Dates from Mexico of the 19th ult. had been
received at New Orleans. Miramon's Government
had protested against Mr. M'Lane's treaty. Mira.
mon was at Guadalajara on the Bth. He had re-

stored 400,000 dols. of 600,000 dols. Marquez took
from the conducta, and has forwarded it to Tepic.
Only 200,000 dols. are missing.
By the steamer Granada, at New York, we have
news from Havana to the 23d ult., but it is unim-
portant. Freights •were dull. Sugar was rated
higher, and little doing. Exchange on New York
was at from 31 to 4 per cent.
The Granada, while going up the bay to her
berth, and when between Staten Island and the
city, was cut through by the ice, which was
sweeping down in large fields by the ebb tide.
Upon reaching her deck, a large barge being in the
way, and fastened in by the ice, the steamer could
not get into her berth, but after repeated efforts
succeeded in reaching pier No. 30, where she
sunk to her guards. The vessel and cargo are fully
insured.

A Boston telegram says :—" The Norombega
Bank has been put up in the hands of receivers and
its affairs wound up. The cashier has loaned ap-
parently some 22,000 dols. without the knowledge
of the president and directors. The circulation is
stated at £75,000 dols., but the Bank Commissioners
think it will all be redeemed."

FRANCE AND ROME.

The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the follow-
ing :

We republish from the Journal de Rome of the
3d inst. an allocution pronounced by the Holy
Father on New Year's-day, in reply to the congra-
tulations of General Count de Goyon, Commander-
in-Chief of the French Division in the Papal States.
This allocution would, probably, not have been
made if his Holiness bad received the letter ad•
dressed to him by his Majesty the Emperor, under
date of 31st of December last, which letter we sub-
join :

Monsieur le General,—lf on the advent of every
new year we have received with pleasure the good
wishes you have presented to us in the name of
the officers and of the army which you so worthily
command, those good wishes are doubly welcome
to us to-day, in consequence of the exceptional
events which have occurred, and because you assure
us that the French Division in the Papal States is
placed there for the defence of the rights of Catho-
licism. May God bless you, then—you and the
whole French army ! May He bless equally all
classes of that generous nation:
In prostrating ourselves at the feet of that God
who was, is, and will be to all eternity, we beseech
Him in the humility of our heart to shed abun-
dantly His light and blessing upon the august
leader of that army aid of that nation ; so that,
guided by such light, he may advance safely along
his difficult path, and admit again the falseness of
certain principles laid down recently in a pam-
phlet which may be styled a monster monument
of hypocrisy and a despicable jumble of contradic-
tions. We hope that, by the aid of such light—
nay, more, we are persuaded that by such light, he
will condemn the principles contained in that pam-
phlet. We are the more convinced of this as we
have in our possession some documents which his
Majesty, some short time since, had the kindness to
send us, and which are a full condemnation of those
principles.
It is with this conviction that we pray God to
shed His blessing upon the Emperor and upon his
august Consort, upon the Prince Imperial, and
upon all France.
