LIVERPOOL,-MONDAY NIGHT.

Little or nothing was done in the betting to-day, and
even up to eleven o'clock; there were many,of our lead-
ing sporting houses in which not a single "flimsy" had
been posted.

The following is the latest state of the betting in Liver-
pool on the cup :-
7 to 1 agst The Era.
7 to 1 „ Aristotle.
7to 1 „ Pompey.
Bto 1 „ British Yeoman.
10 to 1 „ Yardley.
10 to 1 „ Pagan.
14 to 1 „ Castor.
16 to 1 „ Queen of the Tyne.
20 to 1 „ Best of Three.
20 to 1 „ True Boy.
25 to 1 „ Armytage.
25 to 1 „ The Neill.
30 to 1 „ British Tar.
30 to 1 „ Mickey Free.
6 to 1 on the field.

The only alteration of importance is that of " Castor"
coming into the betting, taking the place of " Lothario,"
—which horse had not arrived—and a generally prevail-
ing opinion that he would not be seen at the falling of
the flag.
The arrivals were numerous, and included the whole
of the favorites—many of which are in excellent condition,
more particularly Pompey and the British Yeoman,
which horses, with Pagan, appear likely to advance in the
betting—though we cannot predict which will be "Best
of Three." Aristotle and the Era are still the first fa-
vorites; and, however, inferior favorites may rise, the
latter and, little doubt, the former will " hold their
own."

The number that will start, will not, it is generally
believed. exceed 15 or 16.

The " order of the course" was to-day but inferior,
and farmers say somewhat " soppy" after the rain of
Saturday, Sunday night and to-day. The predictions in
the London and other sporting papers are perfectly at
variance, but where we inclined to prophecy, we would
take the very horses they have missed—and say that
Pompey, British Yeoman, and Pagan will not be far in the
rear of the favourites.

HOUSE OF COMMONS

In reply to a question from Mr. Gibson.
Sir ft, PEEL said he had seen a statement of the new
tariff which was to come into operation in the Brazi's in
Novetint?tl ne/tt_,_ and had sent t 9 the fore,ip Office to i+s-
certain if any official communication upon the subject had
been received. The answer was in the nhgative. There
was a corresrondence going on with the Dutch Govern-
ment respecting certificates of originwith regard to sugars;
but he was not in a condition to lay that correspondence
on the table of the Luse.

In redly to a question from Mr. Liddell, the right hen.
baronet said it was his intention to introduce a bill on the
subject of the law of settlement, but he would not press it
through the house during the present session.
The Sudbury Disfranchisement Bill was read a third
time and passed.
On the motion of Sir J. Graham the house resolved it-
self into committee on the Poor Law Amendment Bill,
the consideration of which occupied the remainder of the

Hence the O'Connellite faction in Rome, which has always been
.opposed by Father Routham, the GeneralofJesuits, as being against
all government alike in Church and State, whilst assanning the mask
of attacking only the supremacy of an heretical church, has gained,
much support. That. eConuellite fiction, we grieve to say, has been.
taken up by all the English Roman ratholics resident in Rome : and
the admirers 01 I.ameattnais are talking more composedly, and w;th
le-ss. alarm, of the possibility of their throwing off all connection wit,.
governments everywhere, and placing themselves at the head of the
revolutionists thrutighout Europe. Some such desperate plunge,
seems, imlecd, the natural death of a system so mighty, and with so
much vitality, as the Papal system still possesses; it cannot die the'
way of all flesh, and expire like a candle burnt downinto the socket,
with a bright, perhaps, but momentary glare; it, must d.e in a con-
vulsion, and in suclr.a couvulsipn as will shake all Europe to its,
very foundation.".

dearer; but no other improvement in any other description.

There was no perceptible change in the value of either Malt

During the past week the supply of Oats was exceedingly short,
and consisted only of two Scotch cargoes, and about live Irish ves-

at rather more money.

We have only a small return of Wheat to thin day's market;
but a few sampics have come from the vessels so long detained
by contrary winds. The millers, anticipating a large supply ere
long, hold off from purchasing, and the business done in Wheat
is, to a fair extent, at the same prices as last week for the best
qualities ; secondary sorts rather lower, and dull sale. Barley
is in good supply; the best qualities nearly support late prices;
other sorts, Is. lower. In Beans, Peas, Oats, and Shelling, no

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, Dec. 28.

The indispositoti generally manifested for business at this
season, has been increased by some change in the weather,
which gives promise that the large supply which has been kept
out by contrary winds, will. ere long, be available
The business of the week has, therefore, been of a limited
character, without variation from the ra' es of our last.
The Liverpool and Wakefield markets of yesterday were flat;
and the same may be said of our's of this day. Sales of each
article are made in retail quantities only, and there is a general
disposition to await the effect of increased suppli' s.
Prices may, on the whole, be considered much the same as on
this day week.

FURS

AT PRICES THAT CANNOT BE EQUALLED,
(When Quality is consulted)
BY ANY OTHER HOUSE IN THE KINGDOM.
The Oregon or Columbia River districts produces a
greater variety of Furs than any other in America. Sid-
ney Hall, Esq., when treating of zoology, in his able
introduction to Black's General Atlas, says of this dis-
trict—" Its most distinguished characteristic is the number
of its Rodentia, amounting to no less than 53 well ascer-
tained species." The skins all of which are of excellent
quality.
_ _

As this House has only been recently opened, it muse
be obvious to the public that their made-up Furs are all
OF THE LATEST STYLES OF FASHION.

WAKEFIELD CORN EXCHANGE, DEC. 27.

We have only a small return of Wheat to this day's market;
but a few samples have come from the vessels so long detained
by contrary winds. The millers, anticipating a large supply ere
long, hold off from purchasing, and the business done in Wheat
is, to a fair extent, at the same prices as last week for the best
qualities ; secondary sorts rather lower, and dull sale. Barley
is in good supply; the best qualities nearly support late prices;
other sorts, Is. lower. In Beans, Peas, Oats, and Shelling, no
alteratis.n.

THE EIGHTEENTH OF DECEMBER. AT LON

DONDERRY.

In our last we announced the commencement of our
great civic anniversary of the shutting of the gates. At
dawn, on the " Glorious 18th" (Wednesday last), the
roar of artillery and the pealing of the joy bells were
heard as usual, and the flags waved in the customary
places—the city flag (1688) on the Testimonial. Royal
standard on the bastion beneath, the Irish Society's ban-
ner in the south-west bastion, and the virgin banner from
the east end of the cathedral. At eight o'clock the 'pren-
tice boys had ai•sembled et the Linen Hall, and thence
proceeded round the ramparts with eight field pieces,
firing salvos at each of the following points in succession
—Mall Wall, Artillery Bastion, Royal Bastion. At 11
o'clock the apprentice boys, together with a vast number
of persons interested in the celebration, formed in pro-
cession end walked to the cathedral, in order to take part
in the customary services of the day, and to hear a ser-
mon, which, it was understood, would be preached by
the Rev. James Graham, with reference to the occasion.
The procession was met at the cathedral door by the
Dean, the Rev. James Graham, and the Rev. W. Stack,
when J. W. Gregg, Esq., President of the Apprentice
Boys, claimed permission, on the part of his brethren,
from the dean, to erect, within the cathedral, a shell
which had been thrown into the city during the siege,
and which contained a written proposal for a surrender in
the following words :

CHRISTMAS-DAY AT THE ANTIPODES.—For Some
days before Christmas, in our drives near the town, we
used to meet numbers of persons carrying bundles of a
beautiful native shrub, to decorate the houses, in the
same manner that we use holly and evergreens at home.
Men: women, and children, white brown, and black, were
in the trade; and sometimes a horse approached, so co-
vered with the bowery load he bore, that only his legs
were visible, and led by a man nearly as much hidden ;
carts heaped up with the green and blossomed boughs
came noddingly along, with children running beside them
decked out with sprays and garlands, laughing and show-
ing in proper Christmas jollity. I liked to see this at-
tempt at the perpetuation of some of )ur ancient homely
poetry of life, in this new and generaly too prosaic co-
lony, where the cabalistic letters Xs. d. and R U M ap-
pear too frequently the alphabet of existence. It seemed
like a good healthy memory of home; and I doubt not
the decked-out windows and bouquet-filled chimney in
many a tradesman's house gave a more home-like flavour
to his beef or turkey, and aided in the remembrance of
old days and old friends alike numbered w th the pest.
The shrub chosen as the Sydney " Christmas" is wel
worthy of the honour. It is a handsome verdant shrub,
growing from two to twelve or fifteen feet high, with
leaves in shape like th. se of the horse-ehesnut, but only
two or three inches broad, with a dark green, polished,
upper surface, the under one being pale. The scent of
its flowers when freshly gathered, is like .that of new-
mown hay. The " Christmas dinner" truly seemed to
me a most odd and anomalous affair. instead of having
won a seasonable appetite by a brisk walk over the crisp
snow, well muffled in warm winter garments, I had passed
a miserable morning, half dead with heat, on the sofa,
attired in the coolest muslin dress 1 possessed, sipping
lemonzde or soda water, and endeavouring to remember
all the enviable times when I had touched a lump of ice
or grasped a snowball, and vainly watching the still, un-
ruffled curtains of the open window for the first symptom
of the afternoon sea-breeze.—Sketches of New South

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, DEC. 24.

Not quite so heavy a demand for Cotton today. The
sales are estimated at 5,000 bales, entirely to the trade.
Up to the present hour no speculation has been reported,
yet the tone of the market is firm and steady.
