LTC, SHOULD I HAVE SUPPRESSED

THIS PARAGRAPH ?" This is really all but incredible ! It is
the most marvellous instance of self-possession—the most

extraordinary comment on language—l ever remember to
have met with. But it saves me the trouble of quoting again
at length Mr. Wray's private letter. This being its

"gentlest"

language, what must be its character throughout ?
Containing this " APOLOGY FOR THE LIVERPOOL CLERGY,"
what must have been its assaults upon them ! Did I say that
the letter was "steeped in bitterness?" Nay, it was grievous
misrepresentation ! I ought, in common with all my bre-

thren, to bare been full of gratitude to our apologist ; and,
beyond question, gentleness like his ought to have accom-
plished the end of "shaming me into a more conciliatory
tone !" for such, Mr. Wray deliberately tells us, is the "hope"

he entertains in his gentle dealings with his brethren.
There are several important points not yet noticed in the
letters of Mr. Pughe and Mr. Wray, on which, however, I
shall not pause at any great length.... I say little, then, of Mr.
Pughe's "utter ignorance that two editions of the letter
existed," and of his still continuing to "forward many bun-

_hods of Copies" of t

THE WAR.

No later telegraphic news from the Baltic or the East.
Details of the fire at Varna are given. It was very
destructive, and numbers of the inhabitants are reduced
to beggary. The French troops exerted themselves im-
mensely, and stopped the progress of the fire. The last
accounts are more satisfactory. The health of the troops
was improving, and the prospect of active work at Sebas-
topol revived the spirits of officers and men.
A telegraphic despatch from Czernowitz, of the 20th,
says the Russians were retreating precipitately across the
Pruth, and that thousands of carts had gone to transport
the sick and wounded
PAR

is.—The report that Prussia will join the Westerr
Powers excites some attention. Cholera was decreasing
but the number of deaths is very considerable.

THE BALTIC.
CAPTURE OF BOMARSUND,

When the Russians surrendered, the French troops and
English marines lined the way from the fortress down to
the mole. The prisoners marched out two and two, the

drums and fifes playing national tunes.

CHRISTMAS

PRESENTS AND NEWT

YEAR'S GIFTS.

Christmas has ever been rendered dear to the lovers of
friendship and hospitality from the many charming socia-
Mies connected with it. The exuberance of the feelings
amid scenes of gaity induces the fair and youthful to shine
to advantage under the gaze of many friends, and therefore to
devote increased attention to the duties of the Toilet. It is at
this festive season that

ROWLANDS' AUXILIARIES OF HEALTH AND
BEAUTY

are more than usually essential for preserving the Hair in all
its decorative charm, the Skin and Complexion transparent
and.olooming, and the teeth in their pearl-like lustre. The
Patronage of Royalty throughout Europe, their general use
by Rank and F,,shion,.and the unversally- known efficacy of
these articles give them a celebrity unparalleled, and render
them peculiarly Elegant and Seasonable Presents.
ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL
is a delightful Fragrant and Transparent ['reparation for the
Hair, and as an Invigorator and Purifier beyond all prece-
dent. In dressing the Hair nothing can equal its effect, ren-
deringit so admirably soft that it will lie in any direction,
imparting a transcendent lustre, and sustaining it in deco-
rative charm during the heated atmosphere of crowded
assemblies. Price, 3s. 6d. and 7s. ; Family Bottles (equal to
four small), 108. 6d. •, and d üble that size, 21s. per bottle.
ROWLANDS' KALY Doi?,
for the Skin and Complexion, is unequalled for its rare and
inestimablequalities,the radiant Bloom it imparts to the Cheek,
the Softness and Delicacy which it induces of the Hands and
Arms, its capability of soothing Irritation, and removing
Cutaneous Defects,
i Discolourations, and all unsightly ap-
pearances, render t indipensable to every Toilet. During
the frost and bleak winds of winter, and in cases of Chil-
blains, Chapped Skin, and Incidental Irritation, its virtues
are universally acknowledged. Price, 4s. Gd. and Bs. 6d. per
bottle.
ROWLANDS' ODONTO, on PEARL DENTIFRICE,
compounded of the choicest and most rechercht ingredients
of the Oriental Herbal, and of inestimable value in preserving
and beautifying the Teeth, strengthening the Gums, and in
rendering the Breath sweet and pure. Price, 2s. 9d. per box.
Beware of Spurious Imitations. The only genuine of each
bears the name of "Rowlands'" preceding that of the
article on the wrapper or label. Sold by A. ROWLAND and
Soxs, 20, Hatton-garden, London, and by Chemists and
Perfumers.

the subject- of the exclusion of the American• Minister to

at Paris and the Minister of Foreign Relations of the
French Governmentovould be laid before •Congress.

The position. of their affairs with Spain> remained the
same as at the close- of the last session ; and there was
reason to believe that the present Government were more

NEUTRAL SHIPS,

With reference to the war in Europe, he said
the principle which they had laid down, that when
the principal powers of Enrope were at war, free ships
made free goods, except in the case of articles contraband
of war, had been approved of by all the powers, and the
King of Prussia had proposed an additional article, pro-
♦iding for the renunciation of privateering. This,• how-
ever, could not be listened to by their government, for if
it were adopted as an international rule, the commerce of
a nation having comparatively a small naval force would
be very mueh at the mercy of its enemy, in a case of war
with a power of decided naval superiority. The greater
extent and more exposed condition of their wide-spread
commerce would give any power an advantage over them.
Should the leading powers of Europe concur in proposing,
as a rule of international-law, to exempt private property
upon the ocean from seizure by public armed cruisers as
well as by privateers, the United States would readily meet
them upon that broad ground.

THE PISITERTES.

The President then referred to the satisfactory treaty
which had been concluded between the United States
and Great Britain, relative to the coast fisheries ; and
recommended to the favourable consideration of Congress
a proposition which would be submitted to them, to au-
thorise the refunding of the duties and the cancelling of
bonds paid by British subjects on fish caught on the coasts
of the British possessions, taken to the United States
markets after the fishing grounds had been made acces-
sible• to the citizens of the United States. He also
recommended that provision should be• made for a com-
mission, to be joined by one on. the part of Her Britannic
Majesty, for the purpose of settling the question as to the
boundary line of the territory of Washington, adjoining
the British possessions on the Pacific, and with regard to
the possessory rights of the Hudson's Bay Company and
Puget's Sound Agricultural Company, which had given
rise to serious disputes. It was important to all that sum-
mary means of settling them amicably should be devised.
He believed that an arrangement could be made for an ex-
tinguishment of the two latter rights ; and he suggested
therefore the expediency of making.a.contingent appropri-
ation for that purpose.

DENMARK

With Denmark negotiations were pending to discon-
tinue the levying of tolls on vessels belonging to the
United States passing through the Sound. He did not
doubt they could claim exemption as a matter of right,
but as•they had signed a convention for ten years, which
required one year's notice to be given by either party in-
tending to terminate it, he thought it expedient that such
notice should be given to the Govenment of Denmark.

MEXICO.

From Mexico their legation had endeavoured, without
success, to obtain a favourable consideration of their claims
for wrongs and injuries to their citizens. This failure
probably arose from the disturbed condition of that coun-
try, which he was anxious to maintain friendly relations
with, and the rights and territories of which he would
cause to be respected, not only by their own citizens, but
by foreigners who had resorted to the United States for
the purpose of organising hostile expeditions against some
of the states of that republic. The commission to establish
the new line between Mexico and the United States,
according to the provlSions laid down& on the 30th De-
cember last, had been organised, and the work had com-
menced. CENTRAL AMERICA.

In relation to Central America, perplexing ques-
tions existed between the United States and Great
Britain at the time of the cession of California' which
it was supposed were adjusted by the treaty of April
19th, 1850; but some misunderstanding_ had since arisen
which their minister at London had not been able to bring
to-a satisfactory termination. Incidental to this question,
the President entered into a detail of the proceedings and
motives of the government with reference to the destruc-
tion of Greytown, the inhabi,tants of which had asserted,
amongst other illegal acts, civil jurisdiction over Punta
Arenis, a position on the opposite side of the San Juan
river, which was in the possession, under a title wholly
independent of them, of citizens of the United States,
interested in the Nicaragua Transit Company.. This trans-
action had been the subject of complaint on the part of
some foreign powers, and had been characterized with more
of harshness than of justice. If comparisons were to be
instituted, it would not be difficult to present repeated
instances in the history of states, standing in the very
front of modern civilization, where, communities far less
offending and more defenceless than, Greytown had been
chastised with much greater severity, and where not cities
only have been laid in ruins, but human life had been reck-
lessly sacrificed, and the blood of the innocent made pro-
fusely to mingle with that of the guilty.

PROVISIONS

LIVERPOOL, DEc. Is.—The new beef referre
our last is landed, but it does not sell readily, the high
price at which it is held deterring purchasers, who, at
present prices, will only buy as their wants require; old,
of low quality, has been more inquired for. In pork the
business has been trifling, without change in prices ; a
small parcel of new has arrived. The demand for bacon
is of a retail character, prices are about supported, but
holders continue to meet buyers freely. For shoulders
the inquiry is not active. Lard is again lower Gd to Is
per cwt , without leaning to activity. At the reduced
prices for cheese there is a more active demand.
DEC. 18.—There is no improvement to report of the
butter market, which continues heavy ; the transactions
have been on a limited retail scale since our last report.
Although the imports are but moderate, stocks increase.
Holders of choice qualities are tolerably firm, but if
buyers of middling and inferior descriptions were to
appear, a decline of from 2s to 3s per cwt. would be sub-
mitted to. Select brands of Waterford, 97s to 100 ;
Kilkenny, Cloumel, Carlow, and Wexford, 95s to 99s ;
Limerick and Sligo, 91s to 95s ; and pickled Cork,
seconds, 90s to 92s per cwt. landed. Imported from
Ireland, from the 9th to the 15th instant, both inclusive,
10,033 firkins, 21 kegs, 238 crocks, 213 boxes, 205 barrels
butter, 148 bales bacon, 14 hhds. 14 tierces hams, 10
tierces and 23 kegs lard.
