TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 3. The telegraphic d.epatcbofht vill be round under its appropriate head. It contains nothing that we can confidently comment upon, and the only inference that we can draw from it is, that war with Russia is inevitable, and that the sooner it is declared on one side or the other the sooner it will end. The Cur has obviously become impracticable.  The steam-packet Andes arrived at Liverpool on Sunday last from New-York, which she left on the 17th ult. She brings little news from the United States, but the latest accounts from Vera Crux announced that Santa Anna had been proclaimed dictator fot...tsu years, preparatory, as was supposed, to his assuMption of the title of Emperor. At NewYork the money and cotton markets were steady, but the stock market had declined.  „ The reader will find in the first page the details of the melancholy shipwreck of the steamer Eva on Wednesday last, and while he will be prepared to express his admiration of the gallant conduct of the poor men in the trawl who saved six lives by means of their cobble, he will probably experience a different feeling when he peruses the account of the conduct of the people in the Prince steam-boat, which presents, in every respect, a most melancholy contrast.  There seems to be no reason to doubt that the Turkish arms in Asia have sustained considerable reverses, and it is certain that a force of 20,000 Turks bait received orders to retire from Russian Armenia. The combined fleets were still in the Bosphorus on the lath ult., and it would appear from a letter .of Lord Bedeliffe to Redschid Pasha, that its entry into the Black Sea was positively refused after the murderous assault upon Sinop*. It is reported that thaßrieialsagent at Teheran has renewed diplomat ie wit the Court of the Shah. When  murderous  relatioot wit* t --we,,aclaressed  our readers on Saturday last we closed sue account with the year 1853, which now belongs to history. It began in peace, and has ended in all but war; for if we are to behave what we are told by the journal supposed to speak the sentiments of the Cabinet, that melancholy alternative is inevitable. Whose fault this is, or whether it be the fault of any one amongst us, may be a moot question; but the fact is certain, and with it alone have we to deal. We dare any that when Lord Derby's government was overthrown twelve months ago by the conjoint force of a back stair's intrigne, end a coalesced faction, so such result was anticipated by the patriots who longed to free the nation from the rule of the ' Quarter Session's' ministry, and to replace it by one of their own construction; but as the plane of men and mice' will go wrong, do what one may, it is instructive to know that a peace-loving Premier has had little else to do since he took office than to struggle with warlike elements in every quarter of the globe, and, as it turns out, to struggle unsuccessfully. Our conclusion, therefore, i 5, 110 t that Lord Aberdeen has been wrong in exhausting every means that could be thought of to avert the greatest scourge that can afflict humanity, but that he has done nothing more, and nothing better, than would have been done by the man whom he was so anxious to supplant, while there is a pretty general impression abroad that he has done something worse. One thing is at all events clear, namely, that our position could not be mole doubtful than it iv at this moment; and that this itc,ii.retn,“s Of the rualitioa government have fallen far short of their promises. With regard to merely domestic matters there is not much to he said in a congratulatory strain. Since last year the prices of all the necessaries of life, including that indispensable article, furl; have risen enormously, in some cases even fifty per cent.; and we have only reconsider what use would have been made of this fact, taken in conjunction with the al. most univenal fipsolt a the English operatives, had Lord Derby ot In office—and, fortiori, had the corn-laws b force. There would have been no end to diatribeeand denunciations, and it is painful to think who would have been the men to indulge in these pastimes; nor cities be otherwise than amused when we find It made a subject of boast that we have not • revolution ander such circumstances —which— adverse though they be --ars balanced, we are told, by the -- *hums I
