PRUSSIA.

1 BERLIN, January 17.—The Russian Govern-
ment has on further consideration, decided to
accept the Austrian proposals as they are, doubt-
less reserving to itself the patriotic task of
taking off their edge and blunting their point
in the negotiations which will necessarily ensue.
In the temporary abeyance of the detailed news
of the motives that have led to this further
pliancy on the part of Russia, official men here
attribute this last pacific resolution to the urgent
remonstrances and representations of Prussia,
which have of late been redoubled both in number
and empressement. In the midst of the satisfaction
that various large circles will doubtless experience
at the receipt of the news of Russia's pacific
step, it would be well to bear in mind that
the immediate object of Russia at the present
moment is to prevent the Austrian Minister
in St. Petersburg from asking for his pass-
ports, and to pave the way for peace conferences to
be opened.

LIVERPOOL-JAx. 18.

The grain trade has been thrown into abeyance for the
moment by the rumoured propositions for a cessation of
the war. To-day there was indifference towards business,
and consequently prices were not generally agreed upon.
They were, however, weaker, but any quotable reduction
is not reliable. Holders were indisposed to give way to
the views of buyers.

and silver watches, diamonds, jewellery, &c., amount-
ing to upwards of 7001. The residence of Mrs. Hay-

miraculous remedies for the cure of bad legs.--Mr.
Allison, of Bowling, states in a letter to Mr. Umpleby,
druggist, of Bradford, that after a severe cold, caught
last winter,' his legs began to swell, and ultimately sores
broke out on each, for the cure of which he tried a
variety of remedies without effect, until he used Hol-
loway's pills and ointment, and he says that it was per-
fectly astonishing to see the effect these wonderful medi-
cines hail on his legs, as both were very quickly healed.

GIBRALTAR IN 1855.

" Fortunately, it is iot likely that Gibraltar will have
to stand a siege, for if it had, I believe it would be found
to be in a most disgraceful state. The precipice which
looks towards Spain, and which our ancestors burrowed
with such persevering energy, is armed with pop-guns,
There is not even a 68-pounder in the whole line of gal-
leries. Gibraltar is full of enormous stores of military
weapons, which are to the improved military science of
the present day what the arms of Montezuma were to
those of Cortes. _ _ _

Gibraltar ought assuredly to be looked to—not-
withstanding the author's belief that it is not likely
to have to stand a siege. The very carbines of the
artillerymen, we are informed, are " entirely use-
less." The book, though tinctured with some
prejudices, contains much valuable matter, and
altogether is likely to attain a not unmerited po-
pularity. In a succeeding edition, should one be
called for, as is not improbable, we trust care will
be taken, in justice to the public and the author,
to correct the abounding if excusable defects of the
work. We have only to add that a map, showing
the lines of route, fronts the title-page, and a large
sketch of the siege operations before Sebastopol
will be found as au appendix.

no fewer than thirteen Directories, each and all
ample and indicative of praiseworthy labour, and
regard for accuracy. In addition to these, and the
matter usually to be found in the best class of
Almanacs will be found a variety of useful infor-
mation, including " Statistics of Ireland," an im-
portant desideratum to such as are desirous of
becoming acquainted with the condition of the
Sister Isle, or need a book of reference. In con-
nection with the General Post-office Directory will
be found a map of Dublin on a scale of 4!,i incheA
to a statute mile—showing the Borough boundary
and the boundaries of the several wards as now
constituted. Altogether the work is one likely to
do good service during the present year, and is de-
serving of even more popularity than was achieved
by its predecessors.

INCOME-TAX REFORM MOVEMENT IN

BIRMINGE A If.

BIAMINGH DI, Friday Evening.—The oppressive in-
come tax, and the heartless manner in which it is being
carried out, has struck into the hearts of those against
whom it is levied, and aroused a spirit here which will
force a change upon the Government and all those con-
cerned in carrying out the impost. A meeting con-
vened by the Mayor of this borough, upon a most nu-
merously signed and influential requisition, is to be held
this evening, at the Town-hall, upon the subject ; and a
circumstance such as I have never before witnesse here,
in connection with any meeting, has just taken place—the
leading shopkeepers in all the principal streets have
closed their establishments, in compliance with the fol-
lowing notice extensively circulated throughout the
borough :

" This establishment will close at sixo'clock on Friday
evening, January 18th, on account of the Town's Meet-
ing for the Reform of the Income Tax."

The association with whom this originated are deter,
mined upon a reform of the tax.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.

The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday con-
tinued buoyant, owing to the prospects of peace.
The sales were 12,000 bales, of which speculators
and exporters took 4,000. The Railway Share
Market was more active, and prices had an upward
tendency.
The Bank of England Returns for the week ending
the 12th inst. are of rather an unfavourable cha-
racter, and the drain of bullion has continued.
The other securities, however, show a material
falling off, and iu some of the other items the
change is of magnitude. The advances made to
the Government, and the liquidation of the half-
Yearly dividends will account for some of the varia-
tion.
Active Circulation.

INTERESTING INCIDENT.

The following incident marked the review of Tues-
day :—At the moment when the Emperor was passing
in front of the Zouaves of the Guard, the son of the
cantiniere of the regiment, a boy of about seven. years of
age, and already wearing the Zouave uniform, drew
near the Emperor and presented to him a fine bouquet
of violets. His Majesty bent down from his horse and

few minutes, thanks .to the imperturbable repetition of
"By order of the Emperor, a bouquet for the Empress,"
they soon arrived near her Majesty. The Empress ac-
cepted the flowers, embraced the little boy on each cheek,
and asked him his name and those of his parents, and
appeared delighted with his present. At last the child,
after having been caressed and kissed by the ladies, re-
turned with his tall comrade to the court below. It may
be imagined that be was asked a thousand questions
when he came down, but all his faculties seemed to be
concentrated in the one fact of his interview, as his con-
stant reply was :—" The Empress embraced me."

BRISTOL SUGAR-JAN. 18.

We have aaain this week to report the total suspension
of business in the sugar market—making it now ten weeks
without a single transaction being recorded here in any de-
scription of raw sugar—an event unprecedented in the
memory of the oldest member of the trade. The only
effect here at present of the news from Vienna has been to
cause rather more inquiry, but which, as yet, has not re-
sulted in business. Refiners' produce is equally difficult to
move, and some manufacturers have not made a sale of any
sort for more than two months. Rum in limited supply,
but prices have a downward tendency.

THE THIEF AND RECEIVER. —IIIIVTANT CONVICTION.
—John Seal, a labourer, and William Wright, were
brought up on remand before Mr. Selfe, charged with
stealing a cake of copper, weighing 951b5., and value Si.
The prisoner Wright was apprehended on the 15th
inst. by police-constable Townsend, No. 54 H. He was
bringing a large cake of capper out of the White Lion
public-house, in Leman-street, Whitechapel, and was
about to put it into a cab when Townsend arrested
him and asked him where he obtained it, to which
he replied that a man gave it to him. He was
brought before Mr. Selfe on the 16th instant, re-
manded till Thursday last, and again remanded
till this day. Yesterday Seal was apprehended by
Townsend, and Mr. J. R. Bell, wharfinger of Fresh
Wharf, Thames-street, said that Seal was in his employ,
and that the copper was stolen from a warehouse which
was broken open between Saturday afternoon, the 13th
instant, and Monday morning, the 15th.
Mrs. Wright, wife of one of the prisoners, and a man
named Clark, in her employ, said that Seal brought the
cake of copper to Mr. Wright's shop in Little Prescott-
street, Whitechapel, on the night of Saturday, the 13th
instant. They would have nothing to do with it.
This day, at 12 o'clock, the prisoners were again ar-
raioned, and the evidence having been repeated, John
Messenger, rag-sorter, in the employ of the prisoner
Wright, said he was directed by his master to carry the
cake of copper from Wright's shop, No. 10, Little
Presott-street, Whitechapel, to the White Lion public-
house in Leman-street, Whitecbapel, on the 15th instant.
Soon after he carried the copper to the public-house his
master was apprehended by the police.
Mr. Haynes, a solicitor, said Wright was a most re-
spectable man, and was made the victim of a plant.
The copper was left by a man of whom he knew
nothing, and Wright was ITttlQying it, when he was
taken into custody.

Townsend said that Wright had been fineLl 51. for the
unlawful pessession of speltre some time ago.
Haynes--That belonged to his wife, wiz° ,°1"

SOUTHWARK.

ALLEGED ROBBERY BY A SERVANT.-JOE Chaffy, a
young man about 22 years of age, was brought up
charged with stealing 12 sovereigns, the property of
George Fudger, tanner and leather dresser, Sandford-
street, Horselydown.
Mr. Solomon appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Neale for the prisoner.

The prosecutor stated that on the 24th of August the
prisoner was in his employ, and had been some time pre-
vious. On that day witness bad 30 sovereigns in a
drawer in his bed-room, and he left home for seven days.
On his return on the Ist of September ho had some com-
plaint to make against the prisoner and he discharged
him. After he had left his service witness missed twelve
sovereigns, which he had left safe onthe 24th of August.
From information be had received he communicated
with the police and the prisoner wastaken into custody.
The son of the prosecutor said that one morning he
saw the prisoner in the passage, partly undressed, com-
ing from the direction of his father's bed-room. He had
no business there, as his bed-room was not in that direc-
tion. As soon as his father informed him that he bad
been robbed, he told him of that occurrence.

It was also shown that the prisoner had expended
about four pounds for furniture, and bad given a young
female to whom he was about to get married a sove-
reign, and the latter said that the prisoner told ber that
ho bad twelve sovereigns in the bank.

The prosecutor was at some length by
Mr. Neale, and, in answer to questions put, said that he
paid the prisoner during the last ten months upwards
of 131., out of which he had to pay Hs. a week for
board and lodging.

Mr. Neale then contended that there was no case
against his client, inasmuch as he bad lawfully possessed
as much money as he had expended.

The magistrate asked whether he could produce evi-
dence as to his having the 12/. in the bank. If he could
do so his opinion would be altered.
Mr. Neale observed that be did not consider that WWI
required, as it might have been idle talk with his sweet-
heart.

The Magistrate said that the case was full of suspicion.
The prisoner being seen coming from his master's room,
and the money being missed, and his possession of so
many sovereigns after being discharged, were presump-
tive evidence against him. He should, under all the cir-
cumstances, remand him for further inquiry.

PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
It is rumoured here that the Emperor Napoleon
will shortly meet the Emperor of Russia at Nice.
" The Emperor and Empress," says a letter from
Biarritz, " on Sunday heard mass at the chapel of
this place. In the afternoon, the Sisters of Camp
de Prats, accompanied by those of the Misericorde
and the hospitals of Bayonne and St. Esprit, were
received at the villa, and saw the Prince-Imperial,
the Empress herself conducting them to the room
in which his Imperial Highness was lying. Their
Majesties afterwards conversed with them for some
time, and again inquired as to the number of the
poor in the neighbourhood, the resources of their
establishments, and other details. In the evening
there was a reception and ball at the villa."
M. Jerome Bonaparte and his son arrived at
Havre the evening before last, and alighted at the
Hotel de l'Europe.
The Moniteur publishes a decree promulgating
the Customs bill voted by the Legislative body
