HUMANITY

A LESSON OF
Mr. JOHN R. ISAAC has much pleasure in inviting his
Friends and the admirers of the Fine Arts to inspect the
Grand Historical Picture, •

"NAPOLEON THE GREAT REBUKING HIS OFFICERS
ON THE BATTLE FIELD OF BASSANO, IN 1795,"
Painted by T. J. BARKER, Esq.

This exquisite Picture, the chef d'teuvri of tliis very talented
Painter, is is deeply interesting from its possessing the finest
realisation of the sineularly classic beauty and wondrous
intellectual power of Napoleon's face, so particularly charac-

teristic of him at the early period of 1796 (age 26).7:Mr. Barker
was in France for weeks, and made his studies for the Paint-
ing from the original bust by Canova, and from original Pic-
tures of the Generals placed in the Palace of Versailles. The
Landscape is a true view of Bassano, with the lofty Alps in
'the distance.

CORN

LIVERPOOL, DEC. B.—The general tone of the trade
this morning is more firm; there has been a fair retail
demand for good old wheats at the full rates of Tuesday,
and new wheats maintain their value, with, however, but
little business passing. Flour in steady consumptive
demand at our late quotations. Barley is unchanged.
Beans are again the turn in favour of buyers. Oats and
oatmeal are in slow request, but without any material
change in prices. We have a renewed inquiry for Indian
corn, but the difficulty of getting coasting vessels still
continues, and limits transactions ; a good many parcels
afloat for Liverpool have been taken, and we repeat the
currencies of Tuesday last, both on the spot and to arrive

TUESDAY MORNING, DEC. 12, 1854

THE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT-

THE QUEEN'S SPEECH

THIS day (Tuesday) has been appointed for the
opening of the Session of Parliament, and the
Speech from the Throne will be delivered by Her
Majesty Queen VICTORIA in person. The business
to be transacted in the few days which intervene
before Christmas will, it is believed, be confined to
the passing of an Act to authorise the sending out
of the kingdom such Militia Regiments as may
volunteer for foreign service, leaving all other
business to a period in the early part of next year,
to which the Parliament, after the passing of the
Militia Bill, will be adjourned. The Speech will,
however, contain the usual programme of Minis-
terial intentions and measures for the coming
Session ; and, in the present state of public affairs,
will create an immense degree of interest, not only
in this country, but throughout Europe. In order
that our readers may be enabled to peruse it at
the earliest possible moment, we have made ar-
rangements with the Electric Telegraph Company
for its immediate despatch by their wires, and will
publish a complete copy of the Speech in a

SECOND EDITION,
simultaneously with its appearance in the London
papers, or as soon as practicable after two o'clock,

HORRIBLE MURDER

A twofold murder of the most atrocious and determines
character took place on Friday night, about a quarter
before 9 o'clock, in Warren-street, Fitzroy-square, London.
The victims are George Moore, soda-water manufac-
turer, of No. 73, Warren-street ; and, Charles Collard,
greengrocer, of No. 74, in the same street, who, upon hear-
ing a cry of "Murder" in the adjoining house, ran out,
and, in an attempt to arrest the assassin, was shot through
the body.
The assassin is an engineer named Barthelmy, who has
occasionally been in the employ of Mr. Moore.
A little after eight o'clock he called on Mr.
bringing with him a woman who has not since been I,
of. According to the evidence of Mr. Moore's servant, t
three remained together for about twenty minutes, with
out anything occurring to excite her observation. Hei
attention was at length arrested by a sound of something
like a scuffle. The noise increased, and a cry of " Murder"
followed. She ascended the kitchen stairs, and as shi
came in view of the back parlour door, she saw her waste
and the engineer Barthelmy come out and struggle in tf
passage. Presently she heard a pistol go off, and b
master fell a corpse. Barthelmy instantly left the hot
by the front door, but being met by Collard, who oppe
his escape, the assassin returned into the house. shu,
the door after him. Collard, finding his intentior
resting the murderer in Warren-street defeated,l
round into the New-road, anticipating that he
deavour to escape by that route. Barthelmy
act of scaling the garden-wall and jumping on the
ment in the New•road, when Collard seized him. 'h.
murderer instantly drew a pistol from his pocket and
shot the poor fellow in the abdomen. Collard fell help-
less on the ground, the assassin rushing off. But this
second act was witnessed by another person, who followed
the wretch and made him prisoner. Collard was taken to
the University College Hospital—the assassin being con-
veyed to the station-house in George-street, St. Giles's.
The next morning, it was found that Collard, though
very weak from loss of blood, had rallied so far that some
hopes were entertained of his recovery. With regard to
the murderer, a very strange fact has transpired. He is
the notorious Barthelmy, Red Republican leader at the
barricades in 1848, exiled, and, more recently, the subject of
some notoriety in England, by his duel two years ago at
Windsor. On that occasion, he killed his adversary, a

THE CONSUMMATION OF ANTICHRIST.

WHILE the eyes of all Europe are rivetted upon
the events in the Crimea, an act is about to be
consummated in "the Eternal City" which, though
of small significance in the eyes of the world, is in
reality of far deeper importance than anything that
has taken place since the famous Council of Trent.
In pursuance of a, design first conceived, it seems,
while he was an exile at Gaeta, Pio NoNo has sum-
moned to the capital of the Papal world the Bishops
of the Romish communion, for the purpose of de-
creeing as ai new dogma of the faith the long
controverted doctrine of the Immaculate Concep-
tion of the Virgin MARY. A Pastoral address from
the Irish College at Rome to the Popish Clergy of
the Pseudo-diocese of Dublin by Dr. CULLEN, an-
nounces the fact that the definition and promul-
gation of the dogma in question was to take place
on the Bth instant. " The Church," says Dr.
CULLEN, "in every part of the world, is now deeply
occupied with the thought of promoting her honour;
the desire that animates all hearts is to place the
privileges and dignity of the most exalted of crea-
tures in a stronger light before the faithful, and to
increase their devotion towards her. It is contem-
plated to define in the most solemn manner, on her
approaching festival, the doctrine of her Immacu-
late Conception, always believed and taught by the
Church spread throughout the world, but hitherto
not defined as a dogma of faith."
Little do the Romish Bishops and Doctors who
have been gathered together upon this extraordi-
nary errand, suspect that by the act which by this
time they have consummated, they have set the seal
upon the condemnation of their church by the tes-
timony of prophecy. The opinions of Protestant
Divines have long been divided upon the question
whether or not the character of Antichrist, as
delineated in Holy Writ, be applicable to the
Papacy. Many of its features seemed clearly to
indicate its identity with the great Apostasy which
is predicted as the forerunner of the end ; but on
the other hand the continued profession of the
Catholic creeds by the Church of Rome, caused
many to hesitate as to the light in which that
Church was to be regarded. After the passing of
the decree, however, which has by this time
received the sanction of her " infallible authority,"
there cannot any longer be a doubt upon the sub-
ject. The peculiar mark of Antichrist is the

MANCHESTER, DEC. 7.—Our market to-day was by
no means active, and for no articles was there anything
beyond a retail demand. In the value of fine wheat and
extra qualities of flour there was little or no change, but
common runs of both these articles must be noted lower,
say 3d per bushel and is per sack respectively. Barley
must also be noted 3d per bushel cheaper ; but in oats,
beans, and other descriptions of grain no material
alteration.

AUSTRALIA.

By way of Callao we have a day's later information from
Melbourne to the 28th March. The Melbourne Aryus of
the 27th states that trade is steady, and prices generally
remunerative. The alterations in the rate of exchange on
London by the banks, from 2 to 3 per cent. premium, had
raised the price of gold 9d. per ounce, namely to 78s. 6d.
to 78s. 9d., with every probability of its continuing firm.
The last gold report states that the quantity of gold from
Ballarat has incaeased this week over last by upwards of
1,000 oz., and a like increase has taken place from Mount
Alexander and Bendigo. The late heavy and seasonable
rains will have the effect of enabling the diggers to com-
mence washing the accumulations of stuff piled up during
the long continued drought ; and a large increase to the
weekly produce from such operations was confidently ex-
pected.

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA,

BY the British and North American Royal Mail steam-
ship Niagara, Captain Leitch, which arrived on Sunday
morning, we have intelligence from New York, by tele-
graph to Halifax, to the 22d; Boston, 21st ; and Halifax,
to the 22rd ult. She left Boston at 11, a.m., on the 21st,
and arrived at Halifax at 6 12, a.m., on the 23rd, whence
she sailed again at 8 25, a.m. Spoke the Asia at 8, p.m.,
and passed the Calf of Man at 8 30, p.m., on Saturday,
and arrived in the river at 35, a.m., on unday, after a
run under ten days and a half.
The Niagara brought 147 passengers, and $553,000 in
specie.

The, remains of the ship Great Republic were to be sold
by auction on the I2th instant.

-The Newport cotton:mill, in Kentucky, owned by Thos.
0. Shaughnessy, had been destroyed by fire.
The White Squall, which was damaged by fire at the
time the Great Republic was burnt, was being made into
a three-masted schooner.
The New York Journal of Commerce states that
tempting proposals were made by the Emperor Napoleon
for the purchase of the Collins' steamers. Similar pro-
posals were made for the two steamers then on the Havre
line.

SPAIN

Further accounts of the insurrection are awaited with
interest, as it is believed that the telegraphic advices are
favourably coloured, and that the movement is more
serious than they represent.

(From the Second Edition of the Daily News.)

PARIS, Moaner.—Madrid continues tranquil, and the
garrison is faithful. On the 30th ult. an engagement
took place between the insurgents and the royal troops, in
which a considerable loss of life occurred. The whole
Peninsula is in a state of siege. .

The correspondent of the Morning Herald telegraphs
that the insurgents suffered considerable loss, and that a
great number had deserted the cause of the insurrection.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—MONDAY, JULY 3.
The Royal Assent was given by commission to three
public and 66 private bills. The Customs Duties on Sugar
and Spirit Bill, and Excise Duties on Sugar Bill were se•
venally read a second time.
In reply to the Earl of MALmasnuny,

The Earl of ABERDEEN said, that with respect to the
house occupied by the Enclosure Commissioners, it was
the only one which could be found for the use of the New
War Department, in the neighbourhood of Downing-street
and the Horse Guards. As to the Foreign Office, it was
iu a disgraceful and dangerous condition. Plans for a
new building were in preparation, and would be completed
by the end of the summer ; but he was not prepared to
say at present that Government intended to apply to the
House of Commons for a vote for the purpose.
After some conversation, the subject dropped.
Lord BROUGHAM gave notice that, this clay fortnight,
he should move a series of resolutions on the subject of
national education. _ _

The Warwick Assizes Bill was read a second time

Lord ST. LEONARD'S called attention to the present state
of business in the Court of Chancery, in the Masters'
Office, and offered some suggestions with a view of expe-
diting the business. He moved for returns on the subject,
which, after some conversation, were agreed to.
The Gaming Houses Bill was read a third time, and
passed.
Adjourned at 7.35 p.m.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—MONDAY, JULY 3.
The House was summoned to the House of Lords, to
hear the Royal Assent given, by commission, to a number
of public and private bills.
In reply to Sir J. Shelley, Mr. WasoN, in:reference to
the Builder and Athenceum journals, stated that it was
in contemplation by the Treasury to concede a similar
increase in the weight allowed to be transmitted by post
to those two journals, proportionate to the late increase
of size permitted to stamped journals, observing that the
limitation to two ounces in weight was made when the
stamp only covered a size of 14,000 inches.

frigate had put into Porto Praya, under English colours,
about 20th May. Name and destination unknown. The
Cape was quiet.
At Mauritius the sugar crop was fast drawing to a close.
It will reach 100000 tons, of which 77,000 was shipped
for the United Kingdom, 11,000 to Australia, and 2,100 to
the Cape. The coming crop is estimated at 115,000 tons.
The demand for freight slackens. England £3. Coals
firm at $9 to $lO.

The Board of Trade returns for the month ending 6th
June show an increase of £109,000 as compared with same
time last year.

Messrs. William Jones and Sons :

" Store-street Mills, Manchester, May 16, 1854
" Messrs. Chubb and Son.

" Gentlemen,—We have the satisfaction of informing you,
that the Fire-proof Safe we purchased from you, about thre.:
years ago, for our Premises in Store-street, (the counting-
house and blowing-room of which were completely destroyed
by fire last evening,) has secured the entire of our books con-
tained therein, together with cash, notes, policies, &c., to
our astonishment, considering the intense heat the Safe was
exposed to, from being built in the chimney flue.
" You are at liberty to refer parties to us should any further
Particulars be required.—We are, gentlemen, yours respect-
fully, " Wm. JONES and SONS."

MR. H. A. HERBERT, M.P., has met with a severe
accident. He was attending a review of the Essex Rifle-
men, now doing garrison duty at the Tower of London,
when his horse, startled by the firing, reared and tbreva
his rider with some violence, at the same time falling-
back upon him. Some bruises about the groin and region
of the stomach are likely to confine Mr. Herbert to his
bed for a considerable time.

DCLEEP SINGH, the grandson of the celebrated Run-
jeet Singh, the "Lion of the Punjab," arrived on Saturday
at Buckingham Palace to be introduced to Her Majesty,
upon his arrival in this country from India. The young
prince was attended by Dr. Logaw, under whose especial.
charge he has been placed, and soon after his arrival had
his first audience of the Queen. Like most Oriental
princes, the costume worn by Duleep Singh was not only
of the most costly and beautiful description, the fabric
being nearly covered with gold, but the young prince also
wore a profusion of pearls, diamonds, and other precious
stones.
