OPENING OF PARLIAMENT

THE QUEEN held a Privy Council on Thursday, and car
Friday proclamation was made in the London Gazette
for the assembling of Parliament on Tuesday, the 31st of
this month. This is but a few days earlier than the time
ordinarily appointed ; but this little difference may hare
been occasioned by the natural anxiety to hear the inten-
tions of the Government with reference to the Eastern
question, and also the explanation of Lord PeimEnsros
as to his recent resignation and resumption of office. The
discussions on these points will find ample occupation for
Parliament, and leave Lord Jons- Russszi, sufficient time
to cogitate over his new Reform Bill, if he has really any
serious intention of persevering in such a hopeless scheme.
Convocation, which stands adjourned until to-morrow,
will be further prorogued until Wednesday, the Ist of
February.

said annually about it ; and much is superadded that JOB
GRIMALDI never dreamt of in his philosophy of pantomime.
Take the goods the "gods" like, and managers provide, say I.
To enter into detail touching the merits—as far as I have
seen demerits are out of the question—of these Christmas
performances, is beside the question; they are better than
usual in their scope and working, more extensively got up,
and have all the week drawn well.

CO3I3IERCIAL .3101VETARY. NEWS.

MONDAY NIGHT.

THE money market during the week has presented
few changes worthy of note, excepting that towards
the close the public funds were depressed to the
full extent of 2 per cent., arising partly from sales
for the settlement of the foreign stock and share
account, and partly from the belief that the Emperor
of Russia would not accept the terms agreed to by
the Conference at Vienna. The weekly account of
the Bank of England showed an increase in the
stock of bullion to the extent of £375,785. Money
has been somewhat more in demand, but without
any difficulty, and no change has taken place in the
rate of discount. The increase in " other securi-
ties" amounts in the week to £406,546.
From a statement which has just been published,
it appears that the shipments of specie from Eng-
land to India and China from the 20th of January
last amounted to £986,574 in gold, and no less than
£5,695,603 in silver, of which £1,614,892 was sent
direct to China. This will account in a great
measure for the diminution in the stock of bullion
and the present scarcity of silver.
The payment of the uncommuted South Sea
stocks which was to be effected by the 6th of this
month cannot be accomplished until the passing of
an Act of Parliament ; but, in the meantime, the
Bank of England have announced their willingness
to advance the full amount to the holders at four
per cent. discount.
The returns which have lately been made up of
the quantity of foreign breadstuffs imported into
this country for the twelve months ended on the
sth of December, show a considerable increase on
last year, as compared with the preceding one, as
will be seen from the following comparison
Wheat, qrs. Flour, cwts.
1852
1853 4,858,699 .. 4,635,823

Increase

617,998

In other descriptions of grain the difference is
not so striking, there being an increase in barley,
rye, peas, and maize, and a decrease in oats and beans.

The return from the Bank of England for the
week ending the 24th of Dec., gives the following
results, when compared with the previous week :
Public deposits ... £11,157.724; Increase £665,038
Other deposits ... 10,607,922; Decrease 91,762
Rest ... 3,198,455; Increase 6,365
On the other side of the account—
Government securities £15,043,730; the same as before.
Other securities ... 16,643,651; Increase 406,636
Notes unemployed ... 8,318,280; Increase 194,176
The amount of notes in circulation is £20,810,155,
being a increase of £204,530 ; and the stock of
bullion in both departments is £15,819,041, showing
an increase of £375,785, when compared with thee
preceding return.

INDIA AND CAPE NEWS.

No news of importance. Great inconvenience was
caused by the detention of seamen.

The crops at the Mauritius were very plentiful, and
shipping abundant. _

By the details of news, per Bosphorus steamer, the
affairs at the Cape are quiet, and everything is peaceful
and progressing. Some =easiness is felt at the earl
withdrawal of the troops.
The Queen, Hougomont, Minden, Naverino, and Gran'
vile troop ships were at Table Bay, waiting to convey the
12th Lancers, the 43d and 74th Regiments to India. Her
Majesty's ship Simoon left Table Bay on the 12th No-
vember, with the Rifle Brigade, for England. The copper
mines on the Orange River appear productive. The Lail,'
Jocelyn was expected at the Cape on the 20th of Novell:
ber. At St. Helena there was a great scarcity of breau
and flour, and provisions dear.

FUNDS, STOCK, AND SHARE MARKET.
Consols opened firmly, and the adverse influence of foreign

various journals of the national prosperity ; but large monel
sales of Three-and-a• Quarter per Cents. and Reduced being
made, showing that the public have lost all hopes of the
maintenance of peace, prices considerably declined and
closed heavily at the lowest point. Railways, sympathising

CATTLE MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 2.—We have had a moderate supply of
stock at this dny's market, which met a very ready sale, at
very high prices. Good beef, bid to 7d per lb ; mutton, 7d
to 7.. d per lb. .

_ .
SALFORD, DEC. 28.—The attendance of buyers was nu-
merous, and beasts met a rather brisk demand at a shade
under last week's quotations, but a few were left unsold.
There was again a small supply of sheep, which changed
hands at an advance of fully id per lb., and a good clearance
was effected. Of calves the supply was limited, and the rates
of last week were fully realised. The following are the quo-
tations :—First class, 51d to 60 ; second, 5d to 50 ; inferior,
40 to 5d.; sheep, 6(1 to 70; calves, 50 to 7d. Number:
beasts, 1.522 ; sheep, 3,876 ; calves, 46.
DUBLIN, DEC. 29. —For the holidays there was a fair
supply, especially of sheep, of which the greater number were
inferior. Notwithstanding the supplies laid in at Christmas
the butchers bought readily at full prices, say—beef, 30s to
653 per cwt. in sink; mutton, 50 to 60 ; top lots, 70 ; veal,
70 to 8d per lb. in ditto; house lambs, 32s to 33s each.
Pigs, a small market ; prices, 47s to 48s each ; pork si(l per lb.

LoNnox.—Consols reported, after business hours, 93?-, ;
Funds slightly better. Two cargoes of sugar reported
sold. Large sales of Rice ; Bengal, to arrive, at 16s. 6d•
No alteration in Tallow and other articles.

THE EASTERN WAR.
The new Russian Gazette, in its Berlin letter of 28th
ult., announces that the Emperor of Russia has given
orders that throughout the whole of his Empire all the
Russian forces shall be at once placed on a war footing.
Letters received in Paris from Berlin and Vienna con-
cur in stating that, in consequence of the decision come to
by the Western Powers to cause their fleets to enter the
Black Sea without further delay, they will not undertake
to send any further propositions to Russia.
At the new year's reception at the Tuilleries on SundaY
the Emperor made no remarks of importance.
An epidemic very common in the Crimea, arising from
malaria, is now prevalent at Sebastopol.
Twelve to fifteen thousand men were waiting at Alex-
andria to be shipped to Turkey.
From the Globe.—We have no news from St. Petersburg
as regards the manner in which the Emperor treats the
proposal of the Powers as acceded to by the Sultan and his
ministers. Judging from the tone of the Continental
journals, and letters from those likely to be well advised
in different parts of Europe, there is a very general, we
may almost say a universal anticipation that Nicholas will
not, even at the twelfth hour, do anything to give effect
to the last effort made by the Powers to save Europe front
war.

A STATEMENT REGARDING VESSELS WINTERING AT .
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1854-01-03

YEAR AFTER YEAR IS PASSING.

YEA R after year is passing
On swift but si!ent wing,
Yet every breath their pinions' wake,
A shade is sure to fling,
Which darkly falls upon the heart,
As o'er the lake's calm breast
A shadowy pall is thrown, when wake
The zephyrs from their rest.

Year after year is passing—
Our friends—oh! where are they ?
Their vacant places at the board
Tell they have passed away I
How many a smile lit up the earth,
A few brief seasons Clown!
How thin the closing circle now !
Where have the members gone?

Year after year is passing—
How changed the heart is now
Far deeper lines are written there,
Than gather on the brow;
And thought grows burdening to the mind,
Though words wore few become—
Oh for the happy tone and smile
That lit our childhood's home!

Year after year is passing
On swift but silent wing,
Yet every breath their pinions' wake,
A shade is sure to fling.
And darker will the shadows fall,
As roll the seasons by;
Till, gathering thick, death's gloomy pall
On every heart will lie.

London : H: G. Bohn.

Apuleius, author of " The Golden Ass," which
forms the principal portion of the present volume,
was an African by birth, and partly, at least, by
blood. He was a native of Madaura, an inland
town of Africa, and lived about the commence-
ment of the second century of our era. He was
a voluminous writer; a man of varied and pro-
found learning, an orator, a wit, and a satirist.
In point of fact, from what we learn of his history,
he was what, in modern parlance, would be styled
a " fast man upon town :" his town, however,
being a pretty extensive one, embracing as it did
a large portion of the oriental empire of Rome.
In his Metamorphosis, or Golden Ass, many—and
among others, Bishop Warburton—have professed
to discover a deeply-considered theological inten-
tion ; while others, quite as numerous, and of
no inferior critical acumen, have failed in per-
ceiving in it anything be 3 and the cleverly-com-
pounded conceits of a man of lively imagination,
no great purity of taste, and a considerable reek-
lessness of purpose. The volume before us, which
is one of Mr. Bohn's Classical Library, contains,
in addition to " The Golden Ass," " The God of
Socrates," " The Florida," and Apuleius' cele-
brated "Defence," or A Discourse on Magic,"
of the practice of which imaginary crime he was
accused. It also contains a metrical version of
" Cupid and Psyche," and Mrs. Tighe's "Psyche "
It is a handsome volume, and forms a valuable
addition to our English translations of classic
authors.

Boys and their Rulers ; or, What we do at

School.

London: Nathaniel

A lively and amusing brochure, in which the
freaks, frolics, enjoyments, struggles, and pas-
times of school-boy life are vividly delineated.
The adventures, narratives, and descriptions, are
in a great degree made to turn upon and exhibit
the " sayings and doings" at Christ's hospital ;-
many interesting particulars connected with the
domestic and scholastic routine of duties in that
important establishment are given with much :spirit.

Church of Scotland Magazine and Review. No.
VIII. Edinburgh : A. C. Moodie ; Liverpool :
W. Thomson..

This periodical,. hitherto but little known
Liverpool, is one which, from the general talent=
exhibited in its articles, must be hailed as a wel-
come addition to the theological literature of the
Scottish Church, by those who are members-of her
body. The number opens with a paper entitled
" The Church of Scotland, and the work she has
to do." It is directed in a great measure to %indi-
cate the Church of Scotland from the charges
brought against her by the various denominations
of Scottish dissenters. At the commencement of
the article we find the following picture of
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1838-07-17

LIVERPOOL HIDING SCHOOL.

MR. SMITH respectfully intimates to the Ladies and
Gentlemen of Liverpool and vicinity, that the ground
recently excavated for laying . the first stone of St. George's
Hall, is again filled up' and restored to its original level,—it
being completely enclosed, is not, therefore subject to the
slightest interruption or nbservation, the gates being shut
during lessons, to the exclusion of all persons, except such as
the pupils may introduce.
Ladies and Gentlemen taught the Equestrian Art on the
most approved principles, uniting ease with elegance, and
the most:perfect safety. Ladies' horses that are not trained
to lead with the proper foot in the canter, are not smooth in
their paces, or light and pleasant in hand, may be ren-
dered so and the defects remedied in a few days, if sent to
Mr. Smith for that purpose.
Cards of terms may be bad at the School, Lime-street, or
at No. 21, Whiternili-street,Gloucester-street.

Mr. Smith most respectfully conveys through this medium
his heartfelt thanks to the Gentlemen comprising the Corpo-
ration, for their generous permission of the use of the ground
for the purpose, as regards himself personally • and more par-
ticularly as it holds forth to the Ladies and Gentlemen of
Liverpool and vicinity, an opportunity and accommod,ytion
to acquire an art, and practise an exercise, which imparts an
enjoyment at once healthful and exhilirating, and investing
a panacea against all invasions of a nervous and debilitating
nature.

LATE THOMAS WOOLFIELD's.
W. B..PROMOLI,

To PREVENT ALL MISTAKES, and at the same time reply
to a question so frequently asked in his Establishment,
whether his predecessor, Thomas Woo Meld, has any inte'-
rest in a concern which it is attempted to establish opposite
to him under a similar name, considers it a duty he owes to
his friendship and esteem to state that THOMAs Woor.ELELo
is no longer interested in any business whatsoever, still less
in one which would be so contrary to his principles of right
towards his Successor.

W. B. P. avails himself of the opportunity to offer his best
thanks to the Nobility, Gentry, and Public, for the support
that has been so liberally continued to him during the past
year ; and begs to assure his patrons that, encouraged by
their favours, lie will at all times strive to deserve and in-
crease it, by a prompt attention to their commands, and
likewise by keeping up the choice selection and manufacture
of his goods, Which, as is now universallrknown, are of the
very best quality and workmanship.

" Mr. Macgowan's successful method of instruction, by
adapting subjects and their mode of treatment progressively
to the capacities of children, teaches them to THINK, instead
of condemning them to learn by rote."—Literary Gazette.
"We recommend Macgowan's French Grammar to the
pocket of the student; it contains much in a small space."—
Gentleman's Magazine.
" I have a& different times examined Mr. Macgowan's
pupils in arithmetic, and have been much pleased with the
promptitude with which they answered the questions ; and it
appeared to me that, so far as 'they had respectively vne,
they thoroughly understood the rules."— W. Harbord. (Con-
