In the Manchester market Indian goods were slightly highor. Yarns and cloths were tending upward without, however, any particular advance. The London Times, taking for its text Mr. Buchanan’s Jetter to the meeting in celebration of the capture of Fort, Duquesne, comments on the desponding tone in which tho President speaks of the future of the republic, and brings into contrast the language of public men on the future prospects of Englund, who deem that England’s evils are passing away, while the tone of American s0- ciety indicates that those of the New World are in- Ap extraordinary general mecting of the Atlantic Tele- graph Company was held in London on the 15th. The Hon. ‘Stuart Wortley presided. The report showed that the total receipts of the company on its capital account had been £387,479, and the expenditure £364,046, leaving a balance on hand of £8,449, against which there are various out- standing liabilitics. Free shares to the value of £75,000 had been iseved to projectors, in the purchase of their original rights and privileges. ‘The chairman made a lengthy explanation of the condition of the company’s eable, It had been underrun for a distance of eleven miles from Ireland, and found perfect. The directors), for want of funds, were unable to carry mn further operations. They had appealed to the government for a guaranty of 43 per cont on £535,000 of new capital, with which to construct and lay a new cable, but no decision had been receiyed. He urged upon the proprietors harmonious and energetic action as the only way to insure success, and moved the ‘adoption of the directors’ report, which was carried una- nimously. Mr. Whitchouse, the late clectrician of the com- pany, called attention to the establishment of another eompany for establishing telegraphic communication with America by means of a southern route, and having half of its capital subscribed. He had been instructed to state the conditions un- der which a fusion of the two companies might de effected. Several shareholders suggested that such a ‘Matter could not be entertained by the meeting, and the cbairman said that pending the negotiations with the government the proposition ought not to be discussed. Mr. Whitehouse withdrew the subject, and an adjournment until the general meeting in February was unanimously carried. ‘The reform movement was progressing. John Bright had addressed another great meeting at Edinburg and at Manchester. A reformer’s union had been formed by the Bright party. ‘An influential meeting of English shipowners had been held in London, to take into consideration the ruinous condition of British navigation. Resolutions were adopted attributing the cause to the repeal of the Navigation laws, and an address to the Queen was adopted praying that the ships of non. reciprocating countries may be placed on as nearly as pos- sible the game footing as British ships are placed in those countries. In regard to the recent arrests in Ircland of the mom. ders of the Phoenix Club the Cork Constitution says:— The treason was carried much further than was suspected. ‘There wore daily and nightly drillings. Pikes were manu- factured, arms imported from America, and the use of them taught. The government was not a minate too early in interfering.” A body of military and militia bave been distributed through the western portion of the county of Cork to pre- vent an insurrection. ‘The Belfast Mercury says there is little doubt that the ' Phonix Club is entirely seditious, and made up of the dregs of Young irelandism. Seventeen persons had been arrested at Belfast, in addi- tion to those at Cork. ‘The government was expected to issue a speciakcom mission for the trial of the prisoners. Mr. Guernsey, arrested by the government for stealing ‘tho Tonian despatches lately published in the London Daily News, has been tried and acquitted, ‘The Protestant Alliance having memorialized Lord Malmesbury to intercede with Rome in the case of the Jewish boy Mortara, Lord Malmesbury replied that while the government was indignant at the ontrage, it did not ‘think tho interference of a Protestant Power would do any good after the failure of a Catholic Power like France. A prospectus has been issued in London for the Madras Irrigation and Canal Company. The capital was fixed ut £2,000,000, of which £1,000,000 is to be first iseued, ‘the Indian Council having guaranteed five per cent on that amount. Tho object of the company is to carry out an extonsive system of irrigation, particularly ; ‘im the districts adapted to cotton, ‘The prospectus bas also been issucd of the Canada Landed Credit Company, with a capital of £200,000, the object being to encourage a flow of capital to Canada by making advances on mortgages of land. ‘The ship Orwell, from Molbourne, with £317,000 in gold, had arrived at London, The West India mail steamer had also arrived with £161,000, ‘The government of New South Wales had deputed an agent to vinit Kingland and confer with the Colonial Office, Ja conjunction with other reprorentatives of the colony, ———-—srdclc ES ee m the best means of establishing s mail service via Pa- pama. ‘The steamship Prince Albert, from New York via St. dobns, WN.

FRANCE. At a meeting held im Paris for constituting the Suez Canal Company, it was positively stated that bona fide subscriptions had been obtained for the full amount of the capital. ‘The Paris correspondent of the London Globe says that Count De Montalembert has received a letter from Count De Chambord congratulating him on his independent atti- tude and expressing the doep sympathy for him of the head of the Bourbon dynasty. ‘The Bourse had been heavy, but subsequently: improved, and on the 17th the Three per Cents closed at 73f. 35c. HOLLAND. ‘The Bank of Holland reduced the rate of discount one- half per cent, making it three per cent. SPAIN. The budget has been brought forward. Tho estimated expenditures amount to $1,786,000 under the estimated recoipte. ITALY. ‘The correspondent of the London News says:—It is not easy to get authentic intelligence from Rome, Cardinal Antonelli baying declared war upon the foreign corres- pondents, stopped their letters and threatened to turn thom out of the city. Aletter from Turin states that the condition of Italy grows every day more serious. The impression is general that ‘a political crisis is at hand. It is from a high source that rumors of a warlike tendency proceed. It is also believed that Piedmont is encouraged by the Tuileries. AUSTRIA. ‘The Venice correspondent of the London Times says that, notwithstanding the inclement season of the year, men who were on a furlough have received orders to join their re- giments in Lombardy and Venice, and notice has been issued that the military anthorities desire to purchase horses for the cavalry and artillery. The necessary sup- plies were also being sent into the fortresses in Italy, so that if the attack should be made on Austria she will not be taken by surprize. BThere were rumors at Frankfort of a new Austrian Joan. PRUSSIA. ‘The Prince of Wales had returned to England from Ber- lin, taking with him the Order of the Black Eagle, con- ferred on him by the Prince Regent of Prussia. RUSSIA. The Empress Dowager of Russia was suffering from a severe attack of bronchitis. A powerful party is said to have been formed among the nobility to frustrate the Emperor’s emancipation schemes. They haye a project for diminishing the power of the Emperor and increasing that of the nobility. TURKEY. Rumors of a ministerial crisis again are current. It is believed that Fuad Pasha will be appomted Grand Vizier. ‘The Porte has addressed acircular toall the Turkish legations in consequence of the American frigate Wa- bash having passed through the Dardanelles in violation of the treaty.of Paris. The rule is laid down that tho light vessels of war which are placed at the disposal of legations are to be excepted, but these are to obtain a Turkish note of authorization to pass through the Straits. ‘The London 7imes in its leading article gives the details of the progress at Shanghae of Lord Elgin and the Chineso Commissioners. The demeanor of the fatter had been such as to coniirm the belief that the Court of Pekin is re- ‘solved to carry out the provisions of the treaty with en- tire good faith, ‘The progress of the tarii! usgotiations already promises au early and satisfactory termination, There ia every reason to anticipate that the vexed question of the opinm trade will be settled upon a basis which will prevent its becoming the cause of future difficulties, It is probable that the exportation of coined copper and re-exportation of rico will be legalized upon equitable terms.

New Onueass, Jan. 1, 1859. A sloop arrived here from Ruatan, reports that the schooner Susan landed her passengers at Puerto Cabolio, ‘Honduras, and that they forthwith prepared to cross the country to Leon, Nicaragua. The arms had been abstracted from the arsenal at Leon, and are now in possession of the democrats at Chinandega and Subtiaba, who are awaiting the advent of ‘the Americans in order to declare against Martines. Chaves, a relative of Genoral Valle, was at Oclclocal, on the confines of Nicaragua. All Honduras was ready, as were a large number of democrats in Nicaragua, to unite with the Americans. Colonel Natzmer had been sent forward by Colonel An derson in order to complete the political arrangements with the Leonese. The correspondent of the Associated Press sends the following, dated Butize, Honduras, Dec. 20, 1858. ‘The schooner Susan was wrecked on the Glovers, a coral reef, sixty miles from Belize, on the morning of the 16th. ‘The passengers were saved, but the vessel is a total loss. Capt. Maury endeavored to charter another vessel to carry his passengers on. Governor Seymour tendered the British steatner Basilisk to convey the passengers to any Southern port of the United States. An American captain circu: lated prejudicial reports, but the Governor chose to regard them as shipwrecked citizens of a friendly nation, and offered every assistance. The passengers will return to Mobile.

(n land- ing, ® procession was formed and the Nicaraguan flag hoisted. Captain Maury was called out, and made a speech to the crowd. There is much excitement. The annexed despatch is from one of our special correspondents:— Wasurvetos, Jan, 2, 1859. A telegraphic despatch has been received from New Or- Jeans, by parties sympathizing with the flibusters, stating that a vessel had arrived bringing news of the filibuster schooner Susan having discharged her precious froight, with Natzmor and Colonel Frank Anderson at the head, oa the shores of Honduras, at or in the neighborhood of Porto Cabellos, Honduras bay, and that the filibusters had pro- ceeded immediately to Leon, Nicaragua. It is said there was a largo party in Leon ready to join them, and tha there is no doubt but by this time Martinez has resigned or fallen. No information has been received by the Scerctary of State or by General Jerez, now in Washington, of these movemonte, and the nows is discredited by thom. It iy thought the deposition of Martiner has been, or will be efiected with but little trouble. 1 understand the inten- tion is to elect a native President in regular form, and i is believed Don Fermin Ferrar will be the man. Those whe sympathize with the movement rejoice at the pros. pect of Sir William Gore Ouseley, after ail his mincing and driving, and plotting in Washington, for a yoar past being forestalled in such an unceremonious manner However, it iz said if the British will be quict and behave powers.

OUR ALBANY CORRESPONDENCR. Atnany, Jan. 1, 1869. Farewell Address of Ex-Governor King—Inaugural Speech of Governor Morgan—Arrival of Senators and Members of the House of Assembly. The ceremonies of inaugurating @ new Governor ara always of considerable interest at the Capitol, and on this cecasion the excitementran as high as on any previous occasion. Ex-Govyernor King was escorted from his resi- dence by a detachment of the city military under com- mand of Captain Vam Vechten. Governor Morgan was under escort of the Burgesses Corps, Captain Spelman. At twelve o’clock fifteen minutes both detachments ar- rived at the Capitol, and the doors of the Assembiy Cham- ber were thrown open. The crowd was immense, and not more than one quarter of the people could obtain admittance. Ex-Goyernor King and Governor Mor- gan occupied the Speaker's chair, the latter on the right. Some fifteen minutes time occurred be- fore order was restored, when the cath of office was administered to Edwin D. Morgan as Governor, and Robert Campbell as Lieutenant Governor, bythe Hon. Gideon J. Tucker, Secretary of State. This ceremony having been gone through with, the Ex and incoming Governors arege face to face, cx-Governor King, in a very handsome and appropriate speech, delivered the keys of the execu- tive chamber and the great seal of the Stateof New York, through io address which he read, into the hands of Gov. Morgan. The latter replied, upon paper algo, in a yery felicitous and commendable speech. Governor King spoke as follows:— Goverxon Moncax—On the first day of the year, the stated period under the constitution for swearing in the Governor elect of the State, I have great satisfaction in. welcoming you in that capacity and cominitting into hands #0 competent the authorities and responsibilities of that high office. It is a great and noble trust, not with- out its difficnities and cares, but not without its compen- sations in the opportunity for a faithful and disinterested service to the Commonwealth. 1t cannot but be an en- couragement to you, agit is a memorable houor, to ba called to administer the government of thestate’ by so decisive a vote of a constuyeuey winch in num- bers, intelligenee, integrity, 9nd, above all, in de- yotedness to the cause of frée labor and free men, is not where Statcs surpassed. y ebaracter and political antecedents fit contresad and you Rp ay bys peg that trust. tue ted casion nor mine the atfice to call your attention to the tm. portant interests of the State the 3 these will be officially pra- sented to you by the heads of the departments, and it Sey remains for” me in again bidding you welcome in the cupitol »8 Governor of the State of New York, to express the conviction that in your hands this nobie Com- mon wealth will find her honor, interest and princi; up- held and advanced, and that in the futare, ag in the past, she will prove that fidelity to freedom ig loyalty to the constitution and the Union. Governor Morgan replied as follows :— Governor Kive—If anything were needed to increase my senee of obligations to those who have called me to this station, it woald be found in the generous commend- atory address you have made in retiring from tha office that” you bave so honorably tilled. It will be » pleasing to you and a noble bequest to transmit to your ren, that through a life neither brief nor nnevent- ful, your motives have never been impugned nor ques- tioned. Party spirit may have assailed and vilitied you, for not less is expected. The press may have criticised your oficial acts, for that is its Provinee, and by that, Within proper limitations, the public good is promoted? but no one, friend or opponent, has ever attempted to impute to any public or private act of yours @ dis- honest, dishonorable or unworthy motive. This much, respected sir, is a record to be envied. moment you are releved from your official duties I am invested with mine. Your freedom from care becomes my anxiety. More accustomed to commercial than political pursuita, 1 feel the full weight of the responsibility of the obligations Tam about to assume. No disevssion of political questions is expected of me here, but I shall in a few days make fully known my views relative to public affairs. That my views meet with common con- currence in all respects I cannot anticipate, but it Mia bea prt of much by gserngens to ——— shall be the means of promoting, legree, honor and credit of the State and the welfare and advancement of the people. Fortunately, I am not required to enunciate new principles of government. This has been done, and, as I think, well and wisely, by the statesmon of the Revo. lution, the patriotic avowals of the objects and doctrine, civil and polttioal of the early fathers, and they kept the faith, and fuliilled tho high expectations of the people of their day and generation. They answer fully the reps and objects of all good citizens. Now, for mysel As to be guided by such principtes and to follow the marked out by those illustrious men, and if “in mo- ments of crror and alarm I wander from them [ will hasten to retrace my -. and regain the road which leacls to peace, liberty an saloty.”? Having taken tho oath which the constitution and laws make neces in order to Cel the duties which the people of the State of New York have devolved me, I now mova to them in humble reliance - @ Divine favor and upon the aid and support of all good men. =~ There were present during the ceremonies the Comp- troller, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Treasurer, Canal Commissioners and, we believe, all the State officers. Though very recently arrayed in political hostility in strife to obtain a political ascendency, to-day all was harmo- ny, peace and acquiescence in the voice of the people. The military stat of Goy. Morgan were in attendance, but nob full and complete. They, however, presented a ine ap- pearance, caleulated to sustain the military arm of the commander in-chief, After the ceremonies in the Assembly chamber were ended, the distinguished gentleman retired to the exeou- tive chamber. Tho multitude then paid their compliments to the new Governor, who remained standing some two hours shaking hands with the populace. He made a very favorable impression upon the people, who aro always on a New Year's day—especially at the hour of two o'clock P. M.—determined to be pleased with almost anything and with everybody. Pity New Year’s day and election day for Governor did not come upon the same day, We are told that an incident occurred in the hall of the Capitol which came very near producing a disastrous con sequence. The Burgesses Corps entered the Assembly chamber in advance of Capt. Van Vechten’s Continentals. ‘The latter, in consequence of the crowd, wore from obtaining an entrance to the chamber, it whispered about that the Bur, on ioorat the prevention, The Contin under this belief, wera in the act, as we learn, of bayonet, were only prevented by epee of Adjutant General Townsend. such an been }, the most Jamentabie would been the re- tothe mitarysand fie hoped that mica ee to the military it is hoped tions will sotte the matter.
