In view of all the circumstances that nttendod tho lato oonteit in this oily, tho election of nn American Mnyor and two Aldermen, is a result that may be regarded as a triumph. Complete success was withiuour grasp, yet, never did a party succeed at all that had greater obstacles to oueoun- ter. Tho oecnsion ia Instructive, and wo hopo ita I loaaona will be taker to ltoart. ! We aaid llwas a triumph, and wc will give tho • reason. Forthu office of Mayor tho opposition brought into the field an old and valued citizen, respected for his intelligence und integrity, largely identified with all tho great interests of tho city, und whose time and energies hud been libornlly devoted to tho enusc of tholr advancement—a man untiring in whatever he uiulortakus, und who en tered tho tiold with thepreitiyc of success about him—with tho laurels wou In a former contest w ith his present competitor still fresh-upon his brow.— Could a party wish for brighter auspices of success, or its ad versa ry find more to appall and dishearten it iu the conflict ? Iu despite of nil theso diaeourngmonts, tho American party, strong in tho correctness of their principles, with nn abiding faith In tho Justice of a people whom they had faithfully served, und with a tried and gallant leader al their head, bold ly entered the Held and fought tho buttle. Tho result bus already been announced—but half a victory; yet a noble half! And this brings us to a second point to which wo desire to invite tho se rious attention of our Amoricnn friends : Why was their triumph not complete? Wo propose to answer this question, and hopo wo may ho heard attentively. The American Party de feated it*e(f'! Their disaster is not tho work of tho enemy, but comes from suicidal bunds. They did not stand "shoulder to shoulder," ns erroneously supposed by some of our cotempornrios at a dis tance. but to the contrary most strangely trilled away a victory which they had but to grasp to mnko their own. Tho veto cost nt tho late election was 1677. Of this number, 727 were straight Democratic, and 6.10 straight American tickets, giving a majority of 98 to tho Democratic ticket. The remainder of tho tickets, or 320 were split, and of the number 00 were Democratic and 260 American. Lot us put these split votes where they properly be long, and soo wlmt would have boon the result had the mem bers of each party voted only for their own ticket; ns follows: American straight tickets 6.10 do split do 200 800 Democratic straight tickets 727 do split do 60 TO RENT.

This volume belongs to the new nnd revised edi tion of Simms' works, now iu the course of publi- ! cation.

Smike—From tho Nicholas Nicklcby of Charles i Dickens. New York: Rcdficld. For sale by 1 W. Thorno Williams. In this -lory of a sud experience for the young heart, there is much of consolation. The sufferings ■ of Smike made Nicholas manly iu his sympathy— bringing out in his nature d deep abhorrence of | tyranny, nnd a love for the neglected and sorrow- j ing. He dues not live, aud suffer, and die in vain, j who colls forth into life the virtues of nnoiher soul. I The Child-Wife. From tho David C'npperfield of Dickens. New York: Itedlicld.

The admirers of Dickens will bo glad to learn J that this most delightful production of his pen | has been curtailed und adapted to the compreben- ; sion of the youthful reader. Tho history of Dora, j although so lovable in its simplicity nnd childish- | ness, tenches the great truth that a character so | unformed, fails to satisfy the companion who hns , higher views of tho duties aud trials of life; while 1 it is seen that Agnes, with her strong and yet gen tle spirit, meets a want that the sweetest and most winning ways of Dora could not satisfy.

New Orleans Picavuno.—This spirited nnd popular Southern Journal Inis donned a new and beautiful dress, of eoppor-faced typo, and now ap pears daily on a largo double sheet. It is elegant ly printed, and most ably conducted. Maryland Unite,i> States Senator.—The Wa*hington correspondent of the New York Times Subtracted gives majority of American votes 103 Thus it will he seeu that flic American party had tho election in their own hands, but through some unncountuUo infatuation, allowed it to slip away between their fingers. It is an instance of bad conduct towards ones friend.-, for which there is no excuse. The American ticket was tnkcu from nmong our very best citizens, while u majority of them Imd just completed u term of most honorable nnd useful service to tho city. Tho American party of Savannah nnd of Chat ham county, is invinciblo when its members net in liurmony; nnd from whatever cause the Into dis affection may have arisen, wo hope these disastrous consequences that have followed as its ligltimnte fruit, may prove a lesson of wisdom to deter the un thinking from the repetition of tho experiment.— We have been hcntcu, but not by the Democratic party, nnd they confess it. The American flughns been trailed in tlie dust by the very men who had pledged themselves to stand by and defend it.— Wo leuvo them to tho edifying reflection. It is extremely mortifying and discouraging to thoso who have borne the toil and heat of the (lay, alter n battlo has been fought and won, to have all their hopes thus dashed in tho very hour of vic tory. Let theso men who have procured our partial defeat, reflect upon their folly and resolve in fu ture to repair the injustice they have inflicted upon a good cause : or else, let them no longer “hold the promise to tho car uml break it to the hope."— We had rather enter the field nidi a forlorn hope, than with a legion of mon upon whom wo may not firmly roly in the hour of trial. [For tho Republican.] An Hour nt the Athenu um. If ouf remarks in tho Rejniblican, of tho 7thiust., hud tho effect of muking so good a Duedcnionn ns wo had the pleasure ol' seeing on the an mo evening, wc ure amply recompensed for the pain wo suffered in giving vent to our "unkind, not to say rudo comments,” us the editor (who always puts lance in rest in the cause of distressed damsels) very pithily denominates them. In good truth, wo wore “ cruel only to he kind,” und Miss Rccdor, wo doubt not, appreciates fur more highly tho good friend who candidly points out her faults, even though ho doe.-, so unsparingly, than she values the miserable flatterer, who stands always ready with his sickening offering of fulsome adulation,— ns poor n compliment to her senso, us it is ft posi tive nhstaclo to her success. We nrc not singular in the opinion that Miss Reeder not only " looked " the beautiful Venetian, but that she infused into the portrayal of tho char acter tho artless tenderness, the quiet devotion, nnd above nil, the moving pathos, which render Dcsde- monn tho object of such love and pity in the hearts of nil. Tito scene in which she urges the suit of Cnssio wns rendered naturally, nnd with a sweet enrne.-tncsa of voice nnd manner; ami the agitation consequent upon Othello's vehement demand for the hntikerchicf, wns nnturul, und by no menus overstrained. Above all, her voice, naturally sweet, wns not urged into that disagreeable fulsetto, and the text wns spoken with nn easy nnd natural flow. If this be wlmt the Morniny Xeira denominates "embarrassment," it is tho euibnrrnssinont wo should be pleased to see in the portrayal of every delicute and pure-minded woman. We laugh nt the impotent fury and harmless violence of an an gry female—wc nrc shocked and disgusted at the masculinu energy ofu Thulcstris—, but we nrc melt ed by the quiet tears nnd touching distress of n helpless nnd appealing woman : tho instinct of every true heart, that nature 1ms appointed mnn tho protector of the softer sox, ia at onco aroused by the spectacle of quiet suffering and suppressed anguish. It is for this reason that we delighted in tho " ombnrrnssincnt ” of Miss Rccdor on Fri day night. It would he a matter of considerable grntulation to us if Mr. Chippendale would not turn his role on every occasion into low comedy : it should he enough of glory for him tomnkc the audience laugh through farces nml not through tragedies. L. The Troops not Ohiibred Oft.—The Washing ton correspondent of the Now-York Tribune, wri ting lice. 5th, says:—"The President 1ms taken no positive steps as to the requisition of Gov. Shannon for United States troops. When (Shannon's des patch was first received in Washington ita authen ticity was doubted by the President mid his cabi net, but when thu fact that llm thing was not a hoax np|»cnrml to lie satisfactorily established, tho President telegraphod ,Shannon to employ all Iho authority nt his command to suppress the outbreak, nml when a full aud formal statuincnt of the facts iu thu case should reach Washington, tho Govern ment would act as tho exigency of the cnao should seem to demand.” Secretary of Legation at London.—Mr. Ap pleton, the American Secretary of Legation at London, has resigned. This will probably delay tho return of Mr. Buchanan, ni Mr. Appleton had Ihioii nppoictcd Charge d'Affnirs, ad interim which ho alss declined, preferring In return homo.

Tho Governor's ’ Leveo, lust night, was very largely attended—all parts ortho State, and nil classes in society being represented on tho oecn- •iun. A very cordial woleonio wns given tho guests by His fixculluncy and lady, and everything done which could contribute to tholr ease and enjoy- tnont. Despite the dense throng, I never saw more real enjoyment than was everywhere nuiuifest.— Dancing, conversation, and proiuonudo wore tho chief niiiuseiueuts above stairs; below, n bounteous ly spread and elegant tablo lent its quutu to the ■(did satisfaction of the evening. At n very late hour the festivities wore concluded and thu guests took their roluctnut leave. nOFSB or HKF1IKSENTATIVKS. The bill appropriating monies to the Georgia Military Institute, though passed by a largo ma jority yesterday, wns culled up this morning for reconsideration, by Mr. Hudson of Harris. Tho motion led to a second debate which occupied much time. Tho motiou to reconsider w^dfe^tetod by Mr. Tcrhuno ol\Floyd.

Mr. Pickett favored the motion with a view to appropriations on a moro general scale. Tho motion was lost; Ayes 62—Nays 68. 1 lmd hoped to send you, this mail, a brief sketch of tho debate, but have not been nblo to completu it in timo.

Mr. Kennedy does uoi need testimony to hi« superior abilities,or to bis moral worth.

No other parties wero put in nomination, than the two first named above. Tho House then took up the unfinished business of yesterday, which was a bill in reference to the liabilities of persons hiring slaves from Executors, Administrators, Guardians, Trustees and Agents. The bill makes the owner linblo for medical fees incurred by his slave; and only liable pro rata for service actually received, if slnvo should dio boforo his time of service expires. Tho hill was warmly opposed by Messrs. Dawson of Greene, Jones of Muscogee, Ward of Butts und Harris of Fulton; Messrs.

Tho Senate hns been engaged nearly all day on tho Brunswick R. R. Bill, nnd its amendments. Numerous amendments proposing to include other Companies in tho aid granted, have been offered, but invariably voted down ; various amendments have also been offered to the bill, which arc still pending nnd will probably requiro nil of to-morrow to dispose of.

The amount necessary to put the building in first rate order, is put down at $07.- 813.89, and the Goverm r recommend-the adoption of tho plans proposed by Messrs, fiholl and Fay, in preference to tho erection of new buildings, which would cost, hu thinks, nt least one million of dol lars.

The proceedings of tho Hennto to-day wero very interesting ns giving somo indications of the prob able fate of tho bill now beforo it. granting aid to the Brunswick nnd tho Suvnnnnli Railroad Com panies. Nearly tho whole morning wns spent in tho consideration of amendments to the commit tee's bill, and its amendments. Home of theso only contemplated a rigid security to tho State ; others, tho downright strangulation of tho bill. Tho for mer wore accepted, tho hitter invariably voted down—a very noticeable indication of tho bill’s fate. Of tho various amendments offered. I shall only notico tho more important ones. Judgo Cono proposed an aiuondmcnt, which provided that no bonds in aid should issue, until $4,000,000 worth of stock in the Brunswick A Floridn Rond bndbocn taken by citizens of Georgia, The failure to make the same provision as regards the Savannah ltond, was doubtless owing to the Judge’s Inadvortoucc— a thing ho is seldom chargeable with. There were other features in his amendment, hut it was this one which caused it to be lost. The Senate inter preted it as one of the murderous amendments above alluded to. Tho Judge said that he had not tntulo up his mind as to how ho would vote on thu final iseiie. but 0110 thing ho could say. if the amendment he proposed was but engrafted 011 the bill, ho would certainly vote against its passage. The next move taken, and there is no doubt but it saved the hill, wns a very noticeable one. Mr. Hnrdcinnu of Bibb, offered nn amendment almost identical with Judge Cone’s, with tho exception of tho feature (above noticed) of tho "Four million" Mib-eviption. It provides that a record of tho si'*, I;holders shall be filed in tho office of tho Comp troller General; that no transfer of stock shall ho made, except to subvert persons, citizens of Geor gia, vouched for to the Governor of tho State, as to their solvency and citizenship: the name of tho puny to whom stock is transferred must he filed iu lieu of tho original holder's name ; nnd no transfer shall lie valid unless approved and sanctioned by the Governor. This amendment was accepted by the friends of tho bill and adopted by tho Scnnto. Judgo Baxter, of Hancock, offered nn amend ment, which proposed to submit the question of State aid to theso Roads to tho people. Lost.— Ayr- 38—nays 47. l'i in all llm indications, the sooth-suyerfl nugur fiivurably "f the success of tho bill. The total vote on Judge Baxter’s resolution, generally considered a* a very fair test-vote, was but 86, while there are 112 Hi-nator*. There is a broad margin of doubt, j on which to speculate. AH in all, however, I think it sale to predict that tho hill will most probably go through ; the unerring certainty, so far, of death to nil amendments calculated to cumber tho real mer it* of the bill, or strangle it outright, tho refusal of the Senate to post-pono n decision of the ques- tinii, which refusal, it is understood’, came from friends of the bill ; and the general opinion on tho subject, so far as it can l*c gleaned by an outsi der. form the basis of this prediction. The Semite passed a bill incorporating tho "Can ton Mining Company." No new mutter was intro duced. While I am predicting, I will hazard my repu tation on the following prophecy, that there will ho 110 adjournment tine die, until on or about the first of March next. According to the result ho my lame as a disecruor of coming events. C w *®. Further from Kaiinne. Ht. Louis, Doe. 4.

A Gigantic Concert.—A Paris letter describes a concert on 11 gigantic scnlo which wns to take place on the Pulaino of the Great Exhibition on the loth tilt : The orchestra is to bo composed of 120 violins, 47) altos. 46 viulincellos, 30 basses, and upwards of 200 wind instruments, besides a chorus of 500 voi ces, of which 230 nro male, tenors, and busses, two hundred female, and seventy young choristers. All the harpists in Paris have been put in requisition, and proving insufficient, a dozen more are coming over from Loudon; several musical deputations from various countries are to join this musical fes tival, the most considerable of whom is that from Brussels, sent by M.

Amongst tho various pieces to bo performed, are tho overturn to Dor Frcvschutz, of which tho andante movement is to hu executed by 24 boms ; a chorus of Handers from Judua Muecabous ; part of tho symphony of Uuctbuovun, in C minor ; the Prayer of Moses, by thirty harps ; n chorus from the Huguenots ; Arc 1 '< riiiii of Mozort and the To Dcitm of Berlioz, fol lowed by the Marche det Drapeaux executed by thirty harps and thu full orchestra. M. Berlioz is to conduct this formidahie musical army, by means of five aid-do-ciinips under his orders, aided by an clue trie metronome with five conductors constructed expressly fur the purpose by n Belgian mechani cian, M.*Werbrugglio. This instrument may bo looked upon ns a valuable application of science to thu musical art; it has already been tried with suc cess by M. Berlioz, iu Belgium, in lending tho cho- russes* of thu Infancy of Christ, although it is as yet unknown in Franco. It consists of a brass key similar to a note of the piano, attached to tho desk of the conductor, nnd which, upon tho slightest pressure of the left hand, while the other is direct ing tho measure to those immediately around him, trail mils the principal changes of timo to thu fur ther extremities of the orchestra. So that, ns it is ingeniously remarked, " « single person might conduct four orchestras at the four extremities of the globe, with thu certainty that they would exe cute as perfectly and irreproachably the same per formance, ns if they "'(-'t' 0 under tho immediate baton of their lender.” The First Methodist Meeting House in America.—.1 Relic of Olden Timet.—A "Church Aiciiilecture," recently published in London, con tains tho following interesting notico of the first Methodist Mooting House iu Americas ‘•Tho first Methodist meeting house in America was a log hut ; .but subsequently, through thu iu- d of Captain Welib, a piece of ground was prui'uruil upon Golden Hill, ft rising ground near llm borders of New York ; now mimed John street. Materials were purchased nnd contracts entered into, in the names of those persons who joined with Captain Webli in the undertaking.— Tilt luiildiiig was GO foot long by 42 feet wide. It was opcmtl on the 30th of October, 1768, by Mr. Embry, who, boing by trade a carpenter, had him self constructed tho pulpit from which lie preached. It had an area iu front of about 30 feet square, separated from tho street by n wooded fence. There wero three square headed windows siirinoiiutcd by a circular ono, near the roof, below which was an arched door, and subsequently side entrances by stops to tho galleries. In order to reach the galleries when first erected, it was neces sary to mount by a ladder aud llion sit upon plat forms, and Ibr 11 long time hunches only with hacks were provided below. Such was the construotion of the first Methodist ('Impel in tho Western World." Iti'hhia.—St. Petersburg!! letters state that in o(insoi|Honeo "f tho facilities of transport from Fro*!, it is believed considerable quantities of lin seed will be exported over land, and that the gene ral exports after December would bo sufficient to produce a rally in the rate of exchange. Accord ing I" reports from tho PriiHsiiiu port of Mcmel grciil qunuliticH of sulphur, saltpetre, and other ar ticles contraband of war continue to lie sent over the frontier, the parties in the trade insuring, fora small promimii, its delivery in Russian territory. Halifax, Doe. 5. Tho Royal Mail steamship Amuricu, (’apt. bang, from Liverpool oil tho uioruiiig of (lie 24th ult,, ar rived here to-day at half past 1 o’clock, P. M. TUB WAIL Tho correspondence from the Alllod Camp on thu Tchcrimyu is to thu 10th of Novunihor, und re lates solely to tho hulling of thu armies, tho litis- sinus and thu Allies being both tliun under cover. There were still apprehensions of a Itus.-inii at tack. Paris correspondence of tho Loudon Globe (Min isterial paper) says that, although winter stops field operations iu tho Crimen, it is intended to bombard tho northern side of Hebastopol, to per mit tlm fleet to winter iu the hurbur. Letters statu that the town of Mnrinnnpol, on tho North const of the Sea of Azoff, was bombard ed by tho Allies oil thu 31st of Uutokcr. Ono hundred shell were thrown, aud thu town rut on fire, tih Austrian merchants hoisted tho Austriun flag over tho warehouse, when the firing caused.— It ivus rumored that Gen. Wrangle menaced tho Allied position at the Ktrnits of Yuuikale. Thu Allies lmd, howorver, 30,000 men there, and ex pect to bo reinforced by 15,000. The liivnlhlo Russe uuuoiiiices that large num bers of tho Allied forces embarked ut Euputoriu on the 14th Inst., nnd sailed westward. Tho London Times publishes elaborate edltoriiil calculations showing tliut the total nvnilnble strength of Russia is 83 per thousand souls ; uml that she hns ulrcudy used 58, which ullows only ten months more, at thu present ratio, to exhaust her lust intin, her last eusli rouble being already expended. A general nrinauiout of thu llussiuii Empire is tnlkud of. A dispatch from Berlin of tho 10th says tho Russian Loan with Gurtnnu capitalists has been concluded. Tho Czar arrived at St. Petersburg!! on the 19th in good health. Hu has extended tho inducements to poor nobles to enter tho Army. Asia.—Trocibonde advices of tho 5th say, that, during thu past fortnight, no news lmd ronched Erzorooui from Kars. Omar Pacha’s vanguard had ronched Okum. The Smyrna Hospital has been evacuated und converted into barracks for Swiss und Gorman Le gions. The Baltic.—Admirals Dioxins and Pcnnixl, with their flag ships ami pnrt of the fleet, nro in tho Bay of Kiel. A steamer is detailed to wutch for no American elippor, supposed to be in tho Bal tic with u cargo of revolvers. Sweden joins the alliance.—Respecting Cnu- robert’s mission to Sweden wc have only 11 Paris rumor—but tho rumor is important, and is ns fol lows : That terms of a military Convention are agreed to; that Sweden will furnish a contingent, to act with the Allies next Spring, if peace ho not previously restored; and that an army of French, English, and Swedes will bo sent to Cuurlnnd, to force Prussia and Austria to dcclaro themselves, nnd iu return for her alliance, tho Allies will guar antee Finland to her. Cunrobert hns been overwhelmed with honor.— His mission to Denmark is now tho great point of interest. Want of success thero might neutralize tho advantage gained in Sweden, us it is not be lieved that theso two powers could adopt different lines of policy. The London Morning Post, however, contra dicts thu Times with regard to tho alleged Swe dish alliance, nnd says that the Times’ details of a military convention, and its assertion of tho ad hesion of Denmark, are without foundation. Peace.—Rumors of a disposition on tho pnrt of the Russian government to make tho first ad vances to negotiate for peace, continue to prevail, but excepting reliable information that the mer cantile classos in Russia are weary of war, there is no nppnrcnt ground for tho rumors. It is however contidontlyjreportud that M. Do Munster, military envoy of Prussia at St. Petersburg, bail visited tho Czar at Nieolaieff, with a view of inducing him to recognise certain conditions of pence, such ns would he laid before the French and English Cab inets. Tho Czar listened favorably to M. De Mun ster’s proposi'ions. The Prussian Cabinet is now in possession of tho views of Emperor Aluxnmlcr, and is empowered to make them known to thu Western Powers, who on their part have not refused to listen to them,though at the sumo lime they have declared them to he in sufficient. The great fact is that negotiations be tween Russia ainl Prussia nro still proceeding. The Court of Berlin is making tho greatest ef forts to induce tho L'znrto consent to such terms as will really lend ton pacific result. As tho Prussian Cabinet is sufficiently well acquainted wi li tho firm resolution of tho allied powers, thu continua tion of the negotiation ntlonls some ground fur hoping that there is at least a chance of peace. Turkey.—Constantinople correspondence des cribes a bad state of atlairs there. Murders nnd robberies wcie taking place iu tho open streets, with n great and increasing fanaticism against tho Christians—especially the French. The Allied commandants have called on tho Turkish Govcrn- J'; provunt Furtliui' outrage.*, under a threat of the Allies taking immediately the pollco of the city into their own hands. Several of the Tunisian mutineers have been condemned to death, nnd tho rest of them will ho sent to Patoum nnd Suuckmu Kale. Great Britain.—Henry Lnbouchcrs hns been sworn ns Secretary of Statu for the Colonics. Tho number of Manchester operatives on a strike is 3101), of whom 1760 are thrown out of work by the stoppage of the other hands. They nil conduct themselves peaceably. A petition is circulating in Liverpool for tho rc- cstnhlishmont of the Kingdom of Poland. Cnpt. Robert McClure, the Arctic uuvigntor, is knighted. General Markham is (lend. He returned to Eng land iu bad health after tho fall of Sevastopol. France.—The King of Sardinia hns arrived in Paris, and met with a favorable reception. The Pope's Nuncio loft tho city in order that lie might not cotno in contact with tho excommunicated sovereign. It is reported that the Emperor hns invited the Pope to Paris to baptize his coming child. Spain.—Tho Spnni*h government are reported to be unanimous in favor of joining the Alliance, but the occasion is deferred until Spain can ap pear ns 11 great nation. At present, she hns no spare money, nor soldiers. Denmark.—There wns every chance that tho Sound Dues Conference would bo opened nt Copen hagen on the 20th of November. Russia wns tho only Power that would send a special envoy, the other Governments accrediting their resident am bassadors, assisted by persons conversant with tho subject. It had been settled that Russia might take part in thu Conference simultaneously with tho Powers with whom she is nt war. Latent by Telegraph. London, 9 A. M., Saturday, 21th.—It wns stated with confidence iu Downing street yesterday, that Lord Palmerston hns determined upon an immedi ate dissolution of Parliament; that tho announce ment will bo made public in a few days ; nnd that tbo now Purliuuiunt will be called together early in February. DENMARK. Copenhagen, Friday—General Cnurobcrt arrives boro to-morrow nnd will stay at tlie Hotel D’An- glutcrrc. On Monday ho will have nn audience with tho King at the Palace of Christinnberg. He is expected to remain here n week. Tho Post says wo can state on authority that thero is nt present no prospect of u Swedish Alliance, and tlm*. tlie statements which have been published respecting a military convention nnd its terms, nrc purely im aginary. The Parliament of England will meet about tbc usual time, namely, the end of January or the be ginning of February. The death of Lady Emelino Stuart Wortloy is announced. She died ut llevrout on tlie night of tlie 29th ult. At the expiration of his well earned leave of ab sence, Sir Colin Campbell will return to tlie Crimea to resume tlie command of tho Highland Division. War in Asia.—The Muniteur publishes tlie fol lowing, dated Constantinople, Nov. 12th. According to last accounts, Omar Pacha was ex pecting battle. General Mouravieff lmd detached a division from his army, which was advancing bv forced marches on Kutars, by Akniskn Road.— About 8000 Turks, under Muslin Pnclin lmd loft Bntoum to try and cut oil'this detachment. Early in the month they Imd reached Osurgctlii, nnd the cunimnnilcr-iii-chicf made them Aucet him at Kut- nrs. which will become tho theatre of sumo import ant engagement, unless (lie Russians intend en trenching themselves iu the defiles which protect the advance on Titlis. Tlie Times’city article, dated Friday evening, says :—" The English Funds opened with firmness thi* morning at the final quotation of yesterday, and for a short timo exhibited a tendency to furth er improvement, hut ultimately 11 gradual decline took place, tlie market closing with a general ap pearance of dullness. Tho occurrence of sales in the absence of any nnununrcuicnt, tended to con firm the reports circulated during tho past day or two, of now nml important political arrangements which wero the cause of the reaction, coupled with a less fnvornblo appearance of tho Continental Ex changes.
