The "Herald of the times" halls this
first opportunity ever presented to him of
Offering to his patrons the usual compli-
ments of this highly interesting season,
with peculiar pleasure and although
fashion has in this, as in too many Of the
other courtesies Of life, contributed to
give it an air Of heartlessness and cere-
mony, 'at all times but stale and unproft-
able,' yet he trusts that in his case the
sentiment is not altogether void of SINGER
ity, nor wholly unaccompanied by the
feeling of genuine gratitude. Having
performed his weekly excursions but for
a few months, and having commenced
them under circumstances not the most
favorable for success, he trusts he has
thus far been enabled to march onward
Underwriting from the path marked out by
him at the commenc ement of his career,
and he most sincerely hopes that his Pc
riodical visits, Notwithstanding all the OBJ
staclcs he has had to encounter, have not
been wholly Improbable, and above all,
not unkindly received by his generous
patrons. lie is well aware that the in
fancy of almost every periodical, espe-
cially in this country where they are pro-
portionably by far more numerous than
in any other part Of the civilized world,
is attended in its progress by one very
serious obstaclo-the want of m ade-
quatc patronage. But thus far in his
progress, the Herald Of the Times, when
the existing circumstances are taken in
to consideration, has the satisfaction to
state, and he does it with gratitude, that
he has every reason to be satisfied with
the encouragement he has received
He also deems it not unapropos at this
time to state to those patrons who have
commenced the present year with him,
that many of his earlier difficulties have
been successfully surmounted, and that
by n continuance of his efforts to serve
them, aided by the stimulus of his in
creasing patronage, he shall be enabled
to add an interest and value to his pages
which under less favorable circumstan-
ces it would have been no easy matter to
accomplish. AT any rate, he feels a
confidence that his devotcdness to their
service and amusement, shall in no way
be relaxed

FOREIGN News. The arrivals from
Europe since our last, have furnished a
great mass ofhighly important and inter-
esting news. But it must be admitted
nevertheless, that it is difficult indeed
for even the most experienced states
man to come to any satisfactory conclu-
sion, as to what may be the probable re-
suit Of the commotions that have so re-
Gently astonshed those in tho midst of
whom they have occurred. There seems,
however, to be left some little ground for
hope, that the affairs in Europe may yet
settle down to something like rational if
not undisturbcd quiet and safety. The
entire change Of the English Ministry, is
by no means among the least Of the i'm
portant events that have transpired in
Europe during the few past months. The
liberal party in England have much to
hope and expect from the elevation of
Mr.. Brougham to the Woolsack. He
stands pledged by his uniform course
whilst in the House of Commons, to fol-
low up no,o to its accomplishment, that
great work Of Reform for which he hith-

LATER.

NEw-YoRK, Dec. 29.-Thc packet
ship Hibernia, Capt. Maxwell, arrived
last night from Liverpool, whence she
sailed on Cd December. BY her we
have received our regular files, London
papers to LIST, and Liverpool to Cd, in
lusive, together with Lloyd's Shipping
Lists, Sc to latest date. The report OF
passenger that Russia had declared
War against France, turns out to be pre-
mature. AT half past 8 o'clock, A. nj.
on the lst Dec. an express arrived in
London from Paris, bringing dates to the
evening of Goth Nov. which state that,
in addition to l48 900 men already cal
led out, and ordered to march on lst and
18th Dec. the Government has deter
mined to make an extraordinary levy OF
10000 men-and that on an early day,
the Chambers will be applied to, for the
necessary funds. In the Chamber OF
Deputies, no business Of moment was
transacted, but it was said that the min
listers retired at an early hour, to avoid
replying to any question. lnthe Cham
Der of Peers-"The report of the com
mission was presented and read in a Sc
cret sitting, but the only thing that has
transpired is, that it agrees with the act
of accusation with regard to the nature
of the crime imputed to the ey-ministers,
and recommends the House to proceed
accordingly.
In Paris, every subject it seems van-
ishes before the question of peace or
War; even the trial of the cx-ministcrs,
of which report was to have been made
that day, was forgottcn-as well as all
other matters--not domestic, but foreign
affairs seem to have been the all engros-
sing topics Of the Parisians.
A letter from the interior Of Russia,
dated, Nov. 10, confirms what has been
already announced respecting the
march Of the Russian army towards the
frontiers. The manner IN which this
letter is EXPIRE ssed it is said leaves no doubt
that the movement is the consequence
Of a preconcerled plan between the Cab
inets of St. Petersburgh and Berlin.
The London Times of lst Dec. ab-
stains from expressing any fears on the
subject Of war. Their sources of infor-
nation are better than ours and more to
be relied on.
The subject Of Slavery in the West
Indies still claims the attention of Parlia-
ment
The office Of Postmaster General in
Ireland is abolished.
Scotland is making herself heard on
the subject Of Parliamentary reform; from
various shires in that country petitions
have been sent to London on the sub
ject.
The Duke Of Sussex is chosen Presi-
dent Of the Royal Society.
Lord Elentworth is appointed Govern

tains accounts Of deprcdations committed
in several other counties.

To The Editor:--
SIR: have read, with the attention
which the subject deserved the opinion OF
Judge Peck on the claim of the widow y
heirs ofAntoine Soulard published in the
Republican of the 30th ultimo. observe
that, although the Judge has thought
proper to decide against the claim, he
leaves the ground of his decree open for
further discussion.
Awaiting myself, therefore, Of this per-
mission, and considering the opinion so
published to be a fair subject of examin-
alton to every citizen who feels himself
interested in, or aggrieved by its opera
ton, beg leave to point the attention OF
the public to some ofthe principal errors
which i think that have discovered in
il. In doing so | shall confine myself to
little more than an enumeration Of those
errors, without entering into any demon
stration or developed reasoning on the
subject. This would require more space
than a newspaper allows, and besides, is

Fiiday, Dec. cath, 1880.


Sundry petitions were presented and
referred and various resolutions adopted.
MIR. Johns Of Delaware moved a recon-
sideration of the vote Of the preceding
day, by which the resolution of Mr..
Haynes, that the House attend in the
Senate, from day to day, during the tri-
al Of Judge Peck, was adopted; but Mr..
Polk moved to postpone the question till
Monday, and Mr.. Johns consenting, the
motion was postponed. The House ad-
journed to Monday.

bic reports were also made from other

and made the special order for yester-
day, on the subject of the printing of the
indiccs to the public documents, was
taken up s. indefinitely postponed. The
motion made by MIR. Johns on Friday,
and postponed till to day, to reconsider
the vote by which the House adopted
the resolution of Mr.. Haynes to attend
the trial Of Judge Peck, from day to
day, was then taken up, and was finally
laid on the table by a vote of SO to 79
! The House then went to the Senate and
attended the trial.
Tuesday, Dec. o8M,
After the presentation of petitions,
several reports were made by the var-
ons committees, and bill was reported
Ito extend the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road within the District of Columbia.
The resolutions offered were ola private
character except one submitted by Mr..
Howard, relative to the printing for the
use of the members, ofthc reports offor-
mcr committees on the subject of the
Tariff. This resolution produced some
sensation in the House, and debate
commenced which was interrupted by
the message from the Senate annOunc-
ing that, the Senate was then sitting as
IA Court of Impeachment. The House
accordingly adopted the usual motion,
resolved itself into Committee of the
Whole and proceeded to the Senate.

bic report of mr.. Johnson should be read.
Maj. Bull again turned to his hat and re-
lieved it Of said report, and the same be-
ing handed to the secretary, was read.
Maj. Bull then suggested that it would
be well to draft remonstrance, address,
ed to Congress, in favor of tho present
mail arrangement; here a silence en-
sued, which, however, was soon broken
by the major, who said there was re-
monstrance in the house which might
possibly answer the purpose, and which
would be produced if called for by the
meeting. A call being made, The secre-
iary pulled from his pocket the said re-
monstrance, and at the suggestion Of maj.
Bull, it was read. Maj. Bull then sta
ted that it might not be improper to pass
vote Of thanks to mr.. Johnson, for his
very able report, & that it would be we'll to
appoint committee to report such a vote.
This committee was accordingly ap-
pointcd-consisting Of the chairman and
Secretary of the meeting, and maj. Bull;
which committee reported a resolution
in conformity to the majors wish; and
which resolution, accompanied by a copy
of the proceedings of the meeting, was
to be sent to mr.. Johnson.
Maj. Bull then moved for the appoint
ment of two gentlemen in each Of tho
several wards ofthe town, to procure sig
natures to the remonstrance, which mo-
ton was adopted. The remonstrance
above alluded to, was designed to produce
the impression that it was the sponta-
neous sentiment Of all Rhodc-Island,
called for by an alarming emergency
The preamble to the proceedings of tho
meeting, if | recollect right, ran thus
"At a meeting Of the citizens of New
port, Mddlctown, and Portsmouth, hold
