For? lar o. 2X??**ll?mjr* THE'?TBW KINO OF TUE BELGIANS. The Duke of Brabant is a young man of virtuous habits, fond of mechanical inven? tion and church music, a believer in relics, etiquette and decency. The Parti Pretre exult aloud at having at length a King in Belgium who, instead of being a believer in Ute cosmopolitan creed of Christendom, baa a Jesuit for his confessor, and who lives in the light of the past. Leopold was too wiso a man to worry his son on point? of doctrine about which be himself cared nothing; but he would never allow him, while he lived, any opportunity to betraying his unpopular predilections by taking part in public affairs. "The Be lg ic throne is not a bad seat as times go," he used to say; "but it is neither old nor strong enough to afford being played tricks with. I wish to leave it to my son in a sound condition, and let him keep it so if he can." Bat thc necessary consequence of this exclusion of the heir apparent from public business is that he now comes to the perforai&uco of its duties utterly desti? tute of training or experience. He has allowed expectations to be formod by the Briests ana nubles af tho Catholic party which he can never realize. They are fall of dreams of legislative re-action like those which inflamed the evil councillors of Charles X and prepared thc way to lus fall; and if the young king has the folly to dis? miss his father's t< lorant and prudent ministers, and to attempt the formation of a Roman j cabinet, as there is reason to fear, the consequences to himself and his family may be serious. His young queen is a woman of spirit and vivacity, against whom, notwithstanding her Austrian ex? traction, there his never been a murmur of popular distrust. But hitherto she has devoted herself altogether to thc domestic care of her children; and Belgian socioty, which has always emulated the tone of that of France, has often peevishly com Slained that the princess has never been eard of except in the nursery, li" convetous neighbors entertain, as they are suspected of doing, any design of partition or annexation, they will await of coors? the development of internal distrac; tiona in Belgium. The liberal party pos? sesses great preponderant weight of intel? ligence, enterprise and opulence in the great towns. Their antagonists have, no doubt, the majority of the peasant pro? prietors in their hands, and they comprise many wealthy and respectable persons among the nobility. But in a struggle for ascendancy either in the Council, tho Le? gislature or tho press they could not hold their own for ten days together. * This is so well understood on" all hands, that what? ever misgivings are entertained of the stability of the present order of things, they point to intrigue and manouvre, and in this direction nothing but experience to the contrary will be able to prove that there is not danger.- -London {Pee. ll) correspondence of the Manchester Guardian. QUSXB MARRIAGE CEREMONIES AT THE PRUS? SIAN COURT. This evening, at 7 o'clock, Princess Alex? andrine of Prussia, the daughter of Prince Albert and Princess Marianne of the Ne? therlands, wid be married in tho Palace Chapel to Duke Wilhelm, of Mecklenburg Schwerin, a brother of the reigniug Grand Dake and her cousin-germ an The mother of the bride, being divorced from her hus? band, will not attend the ceremony; but the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess Dowager of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Grand Duke Constantine of Russia, Prince Frederick of the Netherlands and some minor royalties have arrived at Berlin to grace tho wedding of the illustrious couple hy their presence. In accordance with a custom which strongly savors of the last century, the King and Queen, the bride and bridegroom and the other members of tho royal family, directly the marriage ceremony is ?ver, proceed to the white hall of the palace, where they sit down to play at cards. 1 dare say they do not engage very deeply in the intricacies of whist; but, at any rate, the going through the form of playing is part of the programme. While they are thus occupied, the invited guests are directed to pass them in single tile, salut? ing and bowing as they go. As, in addi? tion to tbe higher members of the nubil:ty, of the clergy and die civil service, all the officers of the Berlin, Potsdam, Charlotten burg and Spandau garrisons have been invited, you may eas'ly imagine that the festal procession will require time, and that were they to endure it stand c-, s >me little effort would be necessary on thc part of the royal personages. Dinner is tnen served in the picture gal? lery, the velvet hall and the Brandenburg apartments, when the hereditary officers of the royal household will present the first dishes, in symbolical fulfillment of the more serious duties which devolved on thqir pre? decessors in the olden times. The Prince of Putbus, as Truehaese of tho realm, will place the soup tureen before the King; the Prince of Courland, in his capacity as Schenk, will pour out a glass of wine, while the other princes and noblemen, attended by gold sticks, pages and valets, will per? form the same honorary service to the Queen, the bride and the bridegroom. At the conclusion of the banquet, with its toasts and accompanying salvos of artillery, the party returns to the white hall, where the ceremonial Polonaise, cus? tomary on such occasions at the Prussian Court, is danced by gentlemen and ladies bearing torches and candles. The newly wedded couple then retire to the apart? ments prepared for them in the palace, preceded by pages carrying torches. As the company disperses, a piece of ribbon, called the Princess' garter, is handed to eatsh gentleman, in remembrance of a less elegant custom prevailing in mediaeval Germany, and still faithfully observed on peasant marriages, when the article is scrambled for by the former admirers of the bride. Should there be any issue of this marriage the children will, perhaps, succeed to the throne of Mecklenburg Schwerin. Duke William is the only brother of the reigning Grand Duke, whose sons, it is held by some, might be incapa? citated to succeed on account of there being a flaw in the lineage of their mother, a born Princess of Reuss.-Berlin {Pee. 9) correspondence of London Times.

FINANCIAL SENSATION.-Some sensation was created in the flnancM circles of Rich? mond, on Friday last, by the following an? nouncement in the Times, of that city: Our citizens will do well to remember that the following banks are broken, and that the money is being liberally distri? buted through th?. South: First National Bank of New York; National Bank of Attica, New York; National Bank of Bedford, Maine; National Bank of Hallowell, Maine; National Bank of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania; National Bank of Syracuse, New York; National Bank of Salem, Massachusetts; National Bank of Bangor, Maine. President Fant, of the First National Bank, corrects the article in tho subjoined communication to the Times: "Four of the banks mentioned, viz: Na? tional Bank of Bedford, Maine; National Bank of Hallowell, Maine; National Bank of Bangor, Maine; and National Bank of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, by reference to the official report of the Coiiiptroller of the Currency, have no existence-never having been chartered. "The other four named t?y you, except the First National Bank of Attica, stands as high as any banks in the country, and the notes of tho Attica are received at par by all thc National Bunks, although the bank has stopped operations. The First National Bank of New York, included in the list, is tho oldest National Bank in the United States, and its stock is soiling at 206 in New York. "I beg to add that all tho National Banks aro secured by a deposit of United Strtes bonds with tho United States Treasurer, and in the event of thc failure of any bank, its circulation ia taken up by the United States Treasurer, by tho sal? of tho bonds." The report of the Commissioner of Inter? nal Revenue shows that the total revenue from the tax on chewing tobacco for the lase three fiscal vears are as follows: 1863, $2,576,888.67; 1861, $7,086,634.74; 1865, $8, 015,119.78. THE R-.VENDE ENLARGING.-For the last six weeks, ending November 1, the cotton received at Macon, Georgia, paid duties to the amount of $450,000; and it is expected that December and January wiU yield $500,000. The Southern Bank Note Beportei; of Mobile, Alabama, quotes Alabama notes as follows in that city: Bank of Mobile. 73; Bank of Montgome? ry, 90; Bank of Salem, 35; Central Bank of Alabama, 30; Commercial Bank of Alabama, 35; Eastern Bank, 45; Norther? Bank, 50; Southern Bank, 73. NEW ORLEANS.-A recent number of tho True Bella states that the receipts at the Custom House for duties, in gold, in No? vember, 1865, were $510.974.70, against $248,06'?.93 in the corresponding month of 1860, before tho war, and it proves that this is not owing merely to an increase of duties, but to a large increase of business. The amount of assessments of internal re? venue in that eitv, in October and Novem? ber, 1865, were. $952,731.05, against $148, 036 during the corresponding months of 1864; and the collections of internal revenue for the year ending June 30, 1865, were $1,546,999.30. NEW YO'K DEY GOODS M'BEET-NEW YORK, December 28.-The market is quiet, comparatively, yet as the stock of goods is light and prices are bouyant, a moderate demand exists. Some large sales of prints have been effected since last report, and prices have advanced *?lc. per yard on desirable styles. There" is a well assorted I supply of spring style?; suited especially for tho Southern market. Brown goods have also advanced, both drills and shirt? ings and sheetings. Tho supply is light, and the demand is expected to be very heavy after the holidays. Woolen goods are loss active, and the market is very irregular, especially for fancy cassimercs, of which job lots have been sold at a con? cession in price. Spring styles are offer? ing, in expectation of aa early demand for spring goods. Delaines are in fair request for the season. The advance in prints has led to a great? er consumption of delaines, which, though advancing in price, are not near se high as prints. The stocks are reduced. Coburgs aro inactive. Black doeskins are accumu? lating, and prices are heavy. Broadcloths are quiet. Imported goods are quiet, as is usual at this period. Spring goods are comiug forward iu large quantities, and an activo trade in January is anticipated. The importations last week were unusually groat. In silks, already, there is some movement. Low-priced blacks sell readily, and the supply is below t.ie demand; but importations are daUy arriving. Mantilla ailKs aro also in demaud. The amount of imports last wook entered at the custom houss was no less than $3,304.907, against only $4S3,7?9 in the corresponding week of iy>4, and of $1,512,545 in a similar period of 1863.

Tho receipts since our last have amounted to 120 bales of Sea Island, and 2,332 bales of upland cotton. We quote middling, 47@48c.; strict to good middling, 49@50c.

SHIP SEWS. PORT OF CHARLESTON, JAN. 5. "STENT TO SEA YESTERDAY. Steamship Isabella, Wambersie, Havana. Ship Tamerlane, Jackson, Liverpool. Bark W. T. Sherman, Philadelphia, For Next Mayor. The anomalous condition of tho city j affairs requires that this office should be conferred upon one of promptness, energy I and experience, possessing a financial ta? lent equal to the existing state of things. We respectfully re-nominate our present in? cumbent, who is endowed with those quali? fications, and who has proven himself, in our darkest hour, equal to the emergency. When Gen. Sherman converted our once proud and beautiful Columbia into ashes, despair took- possessionof every face, and paralyzed the energy of her population even the Council themselves, from the | shock, were like a ship wrecked at sea, without a compass or a captain, with thou? sands of citizens, from extreme age to the Raping child, had been smelted from their homes, made penniless, without food or raiment, were compelled to look to the municipal powers for shelter and arrest starvation. At this juncture, the services of JAMES G. GIBBES were called into re? quisition. Like a true Carolinian, he ral? lied co their support, and, with magic power, he infused a fresh spirit of hope to the dejected, not by precept, but by ex? ample. The remnant of his purse was freely opened to charity, and notwithstand? ing thc almost insurmountable difficulties to which he was subjected-having no re? cognized power to maintain law or preserve order, a depleted treasury, a city of brick and ashes, unknown to foreign credit-Ho has, nevertheless, by his unflinching wiU and foresight, sustained and kept alive the city government. He has proven a public benefactor, and to the poor espe caUy. These are facts known to this com? munity. His re-election would strengthen the belief, that our capital will yet present a bright and prosperous future, possess? ing, as she does, a locality healthy, with extraordinary natural advantages for manufacturing purposes. Having a fine water and railroad connection with Charles? ton and divers points, with a rich, sustain? ing back country, justifies the conclusion, that capital must seek investment in and around the city, and, at no distant day, Columbia will not be classed second to any city of the East. To accomplish this en? terprise of public necessity, give your support, and place JAMES G. GIBBES head and front. Jan 7_VERY MANY FRIENDS.
