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)

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)

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL.
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.
WASUINGTO -, January 3.-The national
debt is $2,800,000,000; amount in the trea?
sury, $90,000,000-one-half of which is in
gold.

BALTIMORE, January 2.-Flour in active
demand-high grades firm. Wheat quiet.
Corn steady. Provisions dull. Sugars
heavy. New bacon shoulders 16c. ; sides, 19c.
CHARLESTON, January 5.-Since our last
weekly statement, the demand for cotton
has been activo, and during tho week-in
consequence of the light stock on salo and
the firmness of holders-tho article has
gone up fully 2c. por pound, and sales yes?
terday of good middling took place at 50c.
per pound. 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. Sea Island is in very limited de?
mand, and may be quoted at $1@$1.50 per

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.
