EIGHT DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND. ARRIVAL OF THE ROYAL CHARTER.

(From the 'Empire', Dec. 11th.) By the arrival of the Telegraph, we have the news brought by the Eoyal Charter to the 2nd of October. The Queen and Eoyal Family were still at Balmoral, all in the enjoyment of good health. The Ministers were scattered about the country, and there was nothing of great importance stirring in the political affairs of England. More gold has been found in Ireland. Another nugget has been obtained at Wicklow by the same parties who found the former one. It is said to weigh 21bs. of pure gold. Pauperism has decreased so much that in-the Carlow union the guardians have dispensed -with, a poor rate. The Equinoctial gales have been unusually severe. From all parts the accounts of the disasters at sea are serious. Mr. Alderman Finnis had been elected Lord Mayor of London. The new Sheriff's elect were Mr! J. J. Mechi (the celebrated agriculturist), and Mr. F. Keats. Affairs on the Continent were in an unsettled position. A squadron was assembled at Toulon for the purpose of appearing before Naples. The fact of the naval demonstration against Naples has created a profound sensation in Vienna. Russia had issued "a circular protesting against the interference of the Allied powers in the affairs of Naples and Greece.. The coronation of the Emperor of Russia had taken place at Moscow. The ceremonies and attendant fetes were conducted with a magnificence probably unparalleled in the history of the world. The Austrian Cabinet had been invited to withdraw its troops from the Principalities, and had replied by representing the evacuation as unreasonable, and insisting on the necessity of the occupation lasting until the difficulties that exist relative to Bolgrad and the Isle of Serpents have ceased. The 3£alta Beacon says —-It is currently reported that 10,000 troops will shortly be added to this' "•arrison, as also a large fleet of ships of war. These additional forces are no doubt intended for the purpose of bringing King Bomba to his senses.
