Our market to-day is held out of its usual course, and we have a thin attendance, with but little passing. All kinds of grain about the lame, with the exception of Indian Corn and Meal, the former being 2s. per qr., the latter 6d. to Is. per barrel dearer. The appearance of the trade generally firm and steady.

LIVISPOOL, Dec. 24.—The continuance of adverse winds having permitted the entry of very few vessels into this port since Monday, our fresh supplies of grain are confined exclusively to • few small parcels coastwise and from Ireland, altogether to a very trivial amount ;_ and from abroad we have not a single arrival to riert. The trade during the put two days has preserved a firm, steady aspect, and the tendency of many country markets being still upwards, several holders have been keeping back fur higher rates. Although we bad a very slender attendance of borne or country millers at our Corn ltxehange to-day, the general runs of Wheat were in fair demand, in same cases rather ex ceeding the extreme rates of Tuesday ; and very choice qua lities, of which none appeared for sale this morning, would have commanded somewhat higher terms. States and Canadian Flour being taken leas freely than of late, merely sustained our last currency ; Irish notwithstand ing, was in request and la. per sack dearer. Barley and Malt continue to meet inquiry, but haring none fresh at hand, our quotations stand unaltered. Beans and Peas in slow demand, at former rates. Oats and Oat meel, of which few parcels of either remain unsold, realised a slight amendment in value.

SOUTHAMPTON, Dec. 24.—There was but a small attend ance at to-day's market ; but Wheat, both English and foreign was 1,. to 2a. per qr. dearer than last week, with a good steady sale. Barley firm at last week's prices. In other articles no quotable alteration. WAKEFIELD, Dee. 24.—We have a large arrival of Wkeat again to report, but the great bulk of vessels which had accu mulated from contrary winds have reached their destination. We experienced a moderate sale for Wheat, without material alteration in value. Barley is as dear as last week. Oats and Shelling steady. Betas u before. Little passing in locker articles.

WINCHESTER, Deo. 24.—A fair quantity of Wheat for sale ; fine dry, bath white and red, taken freely at a further advance of from 6s. to 10s. per load; moderale, and throe out of grinding condition, barely retained the terms of last market day ; of the latter, a considerable quantity remained unsold ; the best made from 131. 16s. to 141. 14e. per load ; moderate, 13L to 131. 10s. ; poor, 121.

Altogether, however, the market was a flat one. LIED% Dee. 23.—Very little btudness has been done in foreign Wools this week, nor is any improvement looked for before the new year.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. led is the evidence adduced on the trial (re- L our leader of Thursday) of Colonel Lindsay, for upon John Crawfurd Smith, at the Witenhage, on September last:— ca FOR THE PROSECUTION. Joseph AITOIS• u a journeyman baker in Graham's Town, and t Peddie in May 1846. as a driver of a waggon in seariat, belonging to Mr. Webb.

He thenloid to Webb, the wood contractor, to get them. The • they were to cut wood was about five or six n Peddle. Smith said be did not know to would go or not, until he knew whether would go with him. Cumming said he ve no more of that damned nonsense, and uU have all of them flagged. Cumming then and brought defendant with him. Some C.M.R. nfantry. Ile (defendant) then formed the men tare, and called the waggon drivers together. then asked Cumming who were they who refused )p wood ; Cumming then pointed to Smith. De to asked if there were any more. A waggon driver ton then said " I am one," and defendant desired d aside. Defeo? ant inquired if there were any more, lost of the waggon drivers stood on one side. De: en asked them the reason why they would not go, ecause they did not know how they were to go-- hey thought they should have to go without an endant told them he did not intend to send them escort; they then said they were willing to go. standing by them at this time. He did nut kaow Defendant then told them to make themselves sy then went a few paces, Smith going with in they were all called up again by order it, who said be would tie one of them up mle to the rest, to show them that he had is do to; he then ordered Smith ti strip. Smith , sir, I will not strip unless you tell me what I am rd for, or what L have dime." Defendant then r men to strip him ; they seemed to hesitate. hen stepped forward in a rage, and asked whether mild not strip one, at the same time ordering two list. Smith then allowed himself to he stripped; ,med too slow about it. Defendant said 'Teeth off.' begged them net to tear the only jacket he had, T clothes had been burnt in the Trompetter's nen then tied him up, taking off his jacket and shirt over his head. He was not sure whether was there or not. Smith on being tied up again he bad done to be Hogged. When the drummer ig by with the cat-o -nine tails, waiting for the lin, defendant told him to go on; the drummer a-ems he did not strike hard enough. Defendant it on well," which the drummer did. Smith broke he had had a good many lash*, ; he was tied in wheel. After he broke loose he was ordered it to be tied ap again. His shirt then came down to his back. Defendant ordered the men to pat a. The man, it seemed, was too slow in doing ae lot ordered hinato rip it oft—asking him what hal he was so slow. The man then put it over his was again lashed, and SODn broke loose. De n asked how many lashes he had had. Witness ar what was mid, but defendant ordered him tied, and he was lashed a little more, when dit end him to be taken down, saying he would them flogged every morning. Heard defendant he himd.own." Smith was then taken to the hoe him about an flour afterwards, just as he and aggon drivers were starting to chop wood. They e wood and returned in the evening, whey he with at the waggons, and asked him how he was; eft great pain. On being examined by Mr. Ebden, he tried to beg Smith off—going down upon his idant stamped with his foot, telling him to rise and Id have him served so. The state of Smith's back Hogging was all In blood streams. On being led by the Attorney-General witness said there 24 waggon driven at the post. Defendant read them (Smith being present he had no doubt) al law about a week previous, which witness ,to Dutch in defendant's presence. Did not re defendant said anything to the men. At this gone were to go out, when Smith was flogged ; 'awn up in a half moon outside the fort, so that e all together. Witness was not present when 'era to Smith. Cumming had spoken to the nen seven and nine in the morning. Could not Cumming, before he fetched defendant, monstrate with the men, telling them o go, and they would be punished if they did ever associated much with the driven, most .e coloured people, and could not tell whether Talon of the drives. that they ought not to out T 1 Smith lay in thenieguing, " I will go if the s."

Tls peemelder • John Crawford Smith, was next m amba B Sam, who was dead, wee at the head of a =Mild' eddies, who came to the colony in 1820— hadl bon seauged in the king's service. He hired hie masa to dm isisriat at 10s. 6d. per day; It Wall no pat of big ettairest to eat wood. Witness here corroborated the evident* of the last witness as% what passed between him and D. A. C.

Whoa defendant came to the erllkCemadeg and Adj. Jennings, 21rt Refit. ' to him as one who refused to go, and also to a insa et eines killed by the Kaffir's.

They then, tied his hands and legs with reins to the hind wheel of a waggon. (Witness then described the flow, breaking loose, &c.) He begged them not to tear his being the only one Ise had, his clothes having been barned, after he had been tied up the second time. Defendant asked how many lulus he had received, and some one said 22; he I then ordered the drummer to give him three mere, and said he would serve one waggon driver so every morning to make them remember it was martial law. He was hurt, sad felt the blood running down his back. He was sent to the hos pital, where his back was washed with salt end water. In reply to his counsel, he said he was sick foe a few months afterwards: the mark was mill en his back. In ti og r to the Attorney-General, witness said he meetioned at about an escort to Osman; ; he had bees several thaw SR4.l:tt w le i gb e tnto a rbi t r44l: 4 4en el ettn= dangerous for the people to get it. Did not know of gay troops being ander arms in the morning until they came with defendant. Cumming to his kßowledge never rout *ained of the disobedience of the waggon drivers. Left Fort Peddle in July. In reply to the Judge, he Raid he hod al lowed Dr. Tattered to collect money to enable him to defray the expenses of the trial. Edward Norton, a waggon proprietor, was the next wit ness examined. He corroborated the evidence of the previous witnesses as to what took place when defendant came to the waggon with Cumming. After Smith had been pointed out, on defendant asking if there were any more who re fused to go, witness and two or three black men stepmel out. to hen defendant asked them why they were unwilling to go, Smith said he was not unwilling to go if the rest went, and provided he bad an mewl. Defendant then said " Oo." Then they were turning round to gn. De fendant then said " Stop; 11. Begone of you m an example." In reply to the Attorneyeileneral, witness mid he thought he was not bound te go because his contract was to drive waggons, not to cut wood—which was a general opinion amongst the drivers—who were rationed as well as paid. Defendant read the proclamation of martial law.—By Mr. Ebden : They were to have 10.. 61. per day and rations : the rations were more than those given to a soldier.—By the judge: They refused to go partly because they thought it was no part of their contract to go, and partly because it was a dangerous spot ; they supposed they were to go with out an escort, because they did not see one; they were going out without their waggons, and as they had never done so be fore, they thought they were going without an escort, lie had received no orders from anybody that morning that they were to go out.—Richard Dimond, clerk to the commissariat, was called to prove the contract, which was admitted by the Attorney-Oeneral.—lt should be mated that two witnesses for the prosecution were not heard : one named Webb (an other penon of the same name having been summoned by mistake), and one named Evans, whom it was not thought necessary to examine. ETU/RICE FOR THE DEFENCE.—From the evidence of D. A. C. Cumming, the lint witness examined for the defence, it appeared that the waggon drivers were idle, excepting when they went for wood, three days a week. (Mr. Ebden objected to the evidence of this witness on the ground of his being an accomplice. Objection overruled by the judge.) He thought the strength of the post would not admit of a fatigue party going with the military to cut wood. He communicated the order to the waggon driven to cut wood on the evening of the day before Smith was flogged, and that they were to be in read iness to cut wood next morning. Could not recollect whether Smith was there. The roeu epee seed to him to be willing to go next morning. He went to them next miming to see it they were ready to go ; they began to grumble, appeared dissatisfied, and did not wish to go: he told Smith he had better go ; Smith grumbled, but witness could not recollect precisely the words he used; he told him he would report him to de fendant unless he said he would go ; con d not recollect his words ; it seemed to be a refusal ; and he went and reported to Colonel Lindsay, whom he informed that the waggon drivers refused to go and cut wood ; he told defendant he could not carry on his duties unless en example was made of some of them.

In reply to the prosecutor's coulee, witness said he could not tell what the peens' cause of refusal might be : —By the judge : Could not recollect that Smith said anything to him about an escort —By Mr. Ebden : This was, he believed, • the first day that the drivers had been sent without their waggons to cut wood, before fatigue parties used to cat wood; he could not recollect, but, to the best of his belief, i he himself, and not the contractor, conveyed the massage the evening before; he might have said he was sorry he bad , bad anything to do with that cue. (The Attorney-Oeneral remarked that, for one, he too was sorry to have had any thing to do with it.) Defendant and Adjutant Jennings, 91st Regt., on being examined, said : On the evening of the 20th of May a garrison order was issued ordering the waggon drivers to , proceed on the following morning to cut wood with an , smut of Dragoon guards, &c. (produced the order book.) Cumming was appointed to communicate the order. The escort, commanded by Lieut. Bailey, paraded next morning , according to order about half-past eight o'clock in the outer barrack game. Finding the waggon driven were not ready, . he piled arms and returned to his quarters. The men pant , ded about 60 or 70 yards from the waggons; the waggoners Gould see them, la proof that they could be seen from the waggons I called te the sergeant who was at the place where the arms were piled to come down, which he did ; he was going to defendant to tell hen that the waggoners had felled to be there at the time required. Cumming then came up to and requested him to inform defendant that he could do nothing with the drivers ; they refused to obey his orders, and he wished defendant would come down himself and punish one or more of them. After this, defendant, Cum miug, end witless, went together to the waggon square. Defendant ordered the drivers to be amerabled. The escort was where he stated; it did not go with them. Defendant asked the drivers why they did not obey his order ; he ap pealed to their good feelings ; asked them if they ought to receive the Queen's pay and rate:nut without doing any thing. The waggons were seldom employed more than once a week whilst they were at the post. There was a good deal 01 talking on the part of the drivers as to their disin clination to obey the order. Defendant then said " I must an I will have my order obeyed,—l'll gist, you this chases, —such as do not chow to obey ins stand oa this side ; five or six of the drivers did so. Cumming was then directed to point out the one who had conducted himself worst on the occasion, and he pointed to Smith. Smith denied having been one of the worst, and Cumming insisted that he had. Defendant then ordered him to be tied to the waggon-wheel to receive 20 lashes. I think Smith said he would go if they would let him off, when he was being tied up, if the others would go. None of the others said they would go, According to the custom of military corporal punishment, it was not severe. Saw Smith two days afterwards; there did not appear to be anything the matter with him. Defen dant told Smith that as a white man or European he ought to have set a better example, and not to mislead Hottentots and other black people. Previous to this, when the men were ordered to parade, they were kept in file an hour and a half after the appointed time for the waggons to be in itralledb.ut tlie h y e se c fm tn efas if . ttheoyffiwceorulidandot gone o n es e t t hey h w u rry ere bid, but would choose their own time. On their arrival they were served with ammunition, and received orders not to expend it, and not to create fa te alarm by firing at all. They did not obey this order. He spoke to them himself, but they were never punished. When the proclamation of martial law was real to the drivers, they were informed that they were amenable to martial law if they conducted themselves improperly.

Haw Smith several times afterwards. Asked him how he was ; he said he felt very well. He made no complaint, and received no more medical treatment after that.

Wirnen thought it a very slight punishment. Had seen Smith frequently since—saw nothing but the marks of the punishment.. . _ Serjeant-Major David M ' lnto.k examined.—Smith was punished the day after the contractor lad given notice that he could not supply fuel. After he had received the order about the wood from the adjutant witness published it in the several departments. Was present when Cumming con veyed this order to Smith, when Smith told Cumming point blank that he would not go—that it was not part of hie duty to go. After Smith said this Cumming said he would report him to defendaut. Cumming went with Jennings ' defendant, and they shortly afterwards came to the place where the drivers were standing . Defendant ordered the drivers to assemble, which was done with a great deal of reluctance on their part, but they did assemble. Defendant remonstrated on their fully in refusing to obey Cumming's orders; they all with ono Voice declared they would not I go, 'tying they were hired to drive waggons—not to out wood. Defendant desired Cumming to point out the ring leader; Cumming pointed to Smith ; defendant asked Smith whether he would go, and he replied he would not go. De fendant said he would have his orders obeyed, pointing out that Smith was under the same rules as anybody else in the camp ; he was then ordered to strip : after he had been stn. termed to receive 25 lashes he said he would go if the rest went. After being tioggid he was ordered to the hospital. The escort was paraded at half-past eight o'clock. The eicort was pointed out to the drivers as being their protection, and there could be no mistake as to their seeing it.—By the Judge: The flogging took place about an hour or an hour and a half after the escort was paraded. . . • Lieut. F. J. Bailey, 91st, examined : Was in charge of the escort to protect a number of waggon drivers who were to go and cut wood un the day Smith was flogged. Had re ceived the order the evosiug before. Was present when the' party was paraded in the morning. Had about 60 or 60 men th Dragoon Guards and C.M.R., to secure the safety of the party. nt T. Aiasley, hand sergeant, 91st, examined : Paraded fea in the ranks of the escort. The bend were all in the ranks, in consequence of the small number of men on duty. Saw defendant come to the wageone that morning after the escort had been paraded. When defendant, Cumming, and Jennings, went down to the drivers the escort remained where it was. The escort moved down aterwards, being ordered. Defendant requested Smith, after the report was made to him, to go • he said he would do as the others did, or words to that effect. No one else offered to go in his hearing. Defendant was reasoning with them at the time, and pointed to martial law, telling them to be aware what they were about. The manner of the driven was disrespect ful to defendant. Heard him my nothing about coloured people.—By the Attorney-General : The escort was not formed lino a square. Adjutant Jennings recalled by the Attorney-General.— The escort was drawn up in a.line, not in • square.—By Mr. Ebden : There were two aides of a square and a part of a squats. Sergeant M'Cabe esiantined.—Was sergeant of the snort on she morning SWAYS was dogged. t o ßnbd Jennings, and defendant, going down t the waggons.

Heard defendant ask Smith if he would go with the escort to cut wood. He said he would do what the resit would do. None of the rest mad* say offer to go. Had not seen many diggings. Could not say whether it WAS severe or not. . . Lieut.-Col. O'Reilly : Had been on the frontier about 28 years. Had been 60 years in the army ; was brigade-major, and had been so for many years. Had served in many parts, 'Spain, India, &c.; he oonsidered waggon-drivers, according Ito the usages of war, camp followers. Such people he had always considered to came under the Mutiny Act, but not as soldiers; had known defendant about 30 years; had been in the same regiment with him ; bad always Sound him a re markably mad-tempered person, and that wan his general character.—Cross-examined by Mr. Ebden: Was deputy judgeadvocate under a special warrant for each court martiaL Was commandant at Graham's Town at the time Smith was flogged. Several cases were brought to his notice of civilians who had disobeyed orders whilst he was com mandant.; He invariably assembled five officers of the town, civilian officers, not military, when a report of misconduct I was made to him to hold an investigation. On one occasion he refined to carry out a sentence of flogging passed by one of these boards of investigation. He never inflicted the punishment; he told that board he would terry out a punishment of bread and water, solitary confinement, dce.— By the Attorney-General; That was in Graham's Town. The Secretary to government, Mr. Montague, was then called in court, and it was understood that he declined to obey the summons to appear because it had been served upon him by the attorney for the prosecution, and not the sheriff. The jury, after deliberating about ten minutes, found the defendant guilty, but recommended him to mercy on ac count of the situation in which he was placed. The Judge then called upon defendant to find bail for his appearance to receive sentence either in the Circuit or Supreme Court when called upon, and to be committed to prison in the event of hie failing to give it. His own recognisance, for 501. was suffi cient. The defendant went immediately into the adjoining room with the resident magistrate and signed the requited bail bond. The trial lasted from ten in the morning to nearly &Wisest ten at night. NIAIMMUS.—Advices from Moulting to the 14th of October have been received in Liverpool, but the letters do not mention anything worthy of notice. SWITZERLAND.—BgaNg, Dec. 19.—The follow ing letter is contained in the Constitutiontsel of Thursday last : In consequence of a despatch from Paris, which ar rived in the Seat week of this month, M. Bois le Comte, who continue. to reside at Bale, has had a frequent exchange of communications with the Austrian envoy, Baron de Kaisers fold, who since the 4th of November has been at Bregens, a little frontier town of the Vorarlberg, situated on the lake of Constance. It appears that this exchange of correspond ence bas not been sufficient, and that the two diplomatists have been invited by their respective courts to confer to gether, in person ; for M. de It aisersfeld left Bregenz on the 15th, and arrived at Bile on the 17th. Aooerding to a letter from that town ' the Prusian envoy, M. de ifydow, will shortly rejoin his two colleagues for a time, and he will be preceded by the Prunian governor of Neufchatel, General de Pfuel, who bas just undertaken a voyage to Berlin. A letter which I have just received from Lucerne dams that the new grand council yesterday proceeded to the amine- Son of the members of the council of state, who, Iseemy elected for four years, will at the same time, couples the directoral authority of the confederation, for the years 1849 and 1850. The choice which bad to be made was therefore of the highest importance, in a federal am well u in a eantonal respect. It has fallen on the most eminent men of the progressist party; but what also characterise' it is, that out of eleven members, the moderate fraction of the li beral party counts seven nominations. The following are the newly elected councillors, some of whom were chosen al most unanimously : M. Schumacher Uttenberg, federal colonel and president of the municipal council ; M. Francis Widmer, of Geifingen; M. Kopp, en arms ; M. Martin Arnold, Bucher, d'Elcholzmatt ; Doctor Steiger ; M. B. Schnyder ; M. Isaac ; M. Dula, professor ; M. Winckler and M. Iluber, a district judge. Three only of the elected took part in the expedition of the corps francs in 1845—namely, M. Steiger, M. Arnold, and M. B. Schoyder. The presi denz7 of the new council of state was reserved to Dr. Steiger, but this excellent patriot has declined the honour, in order to leave the field free to M.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, DEC. 25, 1817. [3d. ready, he observes to seise on the slightest pretext to bring on a cavil war. This production had sanely got into circu lation whoa a considerable crowd of young men collected together, and hurrying to the public erten, forced it from their hands and tore it in pieces. They then bunt out into vociferation* against the author and against the Jesuits. As the outcry continued some persons proposed to go and burn down the printing-office whence the len. tins had issued. Tenho; were than procured, and the crowd were preoeeding toward' the printing. offloe, when numerous detachments of the civic guard arrived and prevented them from going further. The same evening about 11 o'clock, the Transtererine attempted to ex • cite fresh disorders. The Least: Col. of Carbinaers hurried to Cardinal Ferretti, who ordered the drams to be beaten, and ordering out dragoons and other troops dispersed the crowd. Some persons who were arrested gave as an excuse for their revolt that they were in want of work and food. A rumour meanwhile prevailed through Rome that the dra• goons had used their "ahem, and several persona, though convinced of its falsity, endeavoured to propagate it. The troops remained under arms all night. This morning the government caused money to be distributed to the indivi duals without employment in the quarter Transteverin ; but .vary one considers the assertions relative to want to be a ram pretext to urge the people t 3 disturbance. The policy of France is badly looked on here, and our self-love as French citizens has had much to suffer from the stay of Lord Monte at Rome. Count Rossi has chosen a day of reception in the week, and I think I inn declare that no pram were spared to have his eiluons left empty. It appears the attempt was tolerably suecesafal." LOMBARDY.—AIIHRIAN Rion's IN ITALY.— The Governor of the Venetian provinces ham jest published dveree_ iriterilietiug the admission into the Lonabardo-Voi netian kingdom of the journal' of Central Italy. The fed lowing are the principal clauses of this edict :—" Consider- , ing that the quasi-anarchy, which is always continuing to render the state of Central Italy worse and worse, has con siderably increased the number of political publications, all given up to the ideas of modern liberalism, and having the dangerous tendency to overturn the present order of things, constantly exciting hatred and contempt against Austria, it has become indispensable to prevent the guilty productions of an unbrid'ed press from being introduced and dissemi nated through the Austrian states. The only means of ob taining this end is to visit with the most rigorous exclusion all gazettes and journals of the states of Central Italy in which these publications of revolt are made. Consequently, there are rigonnuly prohibited and inserted in the Damm ingr not only the papers which are within the category above indicated, as the hallo, the Italico, the Alba, the Bilancia, the Quor;diano, the Courrier, the Italie, the Sptraar,a, the Felsineo, the Cotemporaneo, &c., &c., but also all the other papers which are published in the terri tories of Rome, 'Tuscany, and Lucca, and that as long as the present state of abuse of the press shall continue in these countries." _ _ _ AUSI Dec. 15.—The declaration made by Lord Palmerston regarding the intervention' in Switzerland is interpreted in this sense, that Great Britain, being over under the influence of the external situation of Switzerland, considers herself free from any necessity of active 1 intervention in the affair, but that she does not the less re cognise the right of the frontier countries to put in fore the treaties which guarantee the neutrality and independence of the republic. France, Austria, and Proasia, whilst their representatives are holding emir:emcee at Neufchatel, wilt probably back them by a considerable display of troop., which is a measure, as it were, justified by the violent re pressive measures of the Diet against the cantos' of the Sonderbund. PENSION TO CAPT. MARIYATT.—The good-service at the disposal of the Admiralty hasUen given to rliE tiS X ISTE att' LC B. OESION TRAlNC—Yeaterday morn ing a greet number of persons availed themselves of the op portunity afforded by the direetors of the several lines of rail way, to proceed by train, and spend a few days at this season with their friends, returning on Monday next, double journey tickets on the London sad North-Weetaien, Great Western, South-Western, lad South-Eastern Railways, issued to-day and to-morrow, being available on that day; there being no limitation, the journey may extend to any distance on the respective lines, within the limit of the fore. On the South- Eastern and Dover special trains will be provided, the pas sengen at this time last year having been so numerous. CHRISTMAS FARE.—Yesterday the parcel traffic on the various railways was enormous. By every train there arrived such a quantity of hampers, coataiaing poultry and other provision for the great feast of to-day, that special arrangements were forced en the managers to preveat confu sion and loss. At the terminus of the Eastern Counties Railway—the great estuary for Norfolk turkeys—a lug* area in front of the station was covered in for the protection of the " up" goods, and another adjoining the down line for those packages sent from London. By this line, duress( the two days, about 4,000 pack ages hen arrived from the country, end about 2,000 have been forwarded from London. Two clerks have been employed each day in delivering the goods. The interchange of presents and the transit of Chrstmre fare in the metropolis have been as great as from the pro vinces. The businen done by the London Parcels Delivery Company has been unusually great. We have ascertained that during the last three days there have passed throuith the office of that establishment upwards of 23,000 parcels, 14,000 of which, mostly consisting of eatables, were received and delivered yesterday. Amidst this interchange of the good things of this life the poor have not been forgotten. His Grace the Duke of Northumberland continues the cus tomary annual gift of 1001. of his predeceavor to the poor inhabitants of St Martin-in-the-Fields. The vicar, assisted by the churchwardens and other parochial officers, visited the dwellings of the poor in the parish, and distributed the amount amongst the most deserting, each recipient of his grace's bounty neeising tickets for 1 e cwt. of coals, and for meat and bread in proportion to the number in Dmily, be sides half-a-crown in money. A donation of the same amount from the abuse-named no , deman was distributed in a similar meteor by the rector of Isleworth, to the deserving poor of that perish sad Brentforin and the parish anthem= et. Martin-in-the-fields also distributed a large number of an kets and a quantity of flannel clothing. The peer of St. Sepulchre's parish not being in the receipt of parochial re lief were presented with tickets for coals, bread, and meat, and in cases of old age or infirmity with tea and sugar. Mr. Thurston, of Catherine-street, Strand, distributed his annual gifts of beef, in proportion to number and family, to the poor of St. Mary-le-Strand, and the precincts of the Savoy. The Duchess of Kent's gifts to the poor of Kensington were dis tributed yesterday. The recipients of Mr. Whitehead's (Westminster-road) bounty received beef and mutton, in 'exchange for tickets issued on Monday last. Tin Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have directed that every poor family residing in the vicinity of Kew shall be tupplied with a substantial dinner on Christrnu-day. The clergymen of tbe several churches in the extensive pariah of Lambeth dis tributed large quantities of coals, bread, meat, potatoes, and oatmeal, besides flannel and blankete, to the p . uur inhabitants of their respective districts; similar d istribu tions were made in most of the City parishes, and a very large issue of coals will be made from the City kitchen, to every poor permit who has been enabled es obtain a ticket. Upon inquiry as to the fare of the poor in the workhouses, It appeue that in most cases the same allowance will be ob served as in former years, averaging 6 or. of roast beef and lib. of plum pulding, besides, in some cases, allowaacea of tobacco and snu ff for the aged, and fruit and sweetmeats for the children. Generally speaking there is an incresae in the number of poor, but this is attributed, in ninny cans, to the scarcity of employment. There will also be an allow ance as usual to the prisoners in the City prisons, and to the turnkeys, the latter the gift of the respective governors. MR. NEwMAN.—The arrival of this gentleman in the metropolis is daily looked for. The document which he brings with him is described as being of almost equal impor tance with that which Cardinal Pole read to the peer» of England, wherein they were informed that the Pope of Rome had reconciled our island to his see, relieved Britain of the ban, and authorised the secularisation of the church lands. The document entrusted to the keeping of the wary author of " Development" authorises changes almost as startling. It decrees the abolition of "Vicars Apostolic"—those re spectable officials through whom Rome has hitherto con sented to be represented, and in their place substitutes twelve bishoprics with an archbishop in England. This has been done without the opinion of our government being asked upon the matter, and carried out in a manner the moat offensive that could be devised. In France, the Pope dare not create a new bishopric without the sanction of the crown. In England, the feelings and sentiments of the wearer of the crown are studiously disregarded by the Vatican.— Church and Sta , e Gazelle. PRESERVED POTATOEL—A novel importation has recently taken place, by a vessel arrived from Gothenburg, consisting of some Mai of preserved potatoes. Potatoes' are free of duty when In • raw state, and may, for a definite period, be brought without referenceto the existing navigation laws, and this parcel was entered by the importers as free of duty; but, on examination by the o ffi cers of the revenue, the contents were found to have undergone a process of preserving, by which they considered them liable to an ad va/orewi duty of 10 per cent. on manufactured goods; the proem being the 'tweaking of the potatoes into small pieces, and drying them. A patent is in existence for a preserved preparation of the potato in this country, which is supplied to the East India Company and to emigrants, of which an analysis is perm by Dr. Ure, to the effect that it contains, by chemical analysis, the whole notri-1 nous principles of that root, in a pun, concentrated state. It was a matter of some doubt whether this importation was in any way affected by the patent, but we believe it has been decided in the negative. Although the importation is novel, it is understood to be a common preparation of the vegetable in Sweden (from which this supply took place) and to have been so for a long period, and that the only process of manufacture to which the potatoes have been subjected is that of drying and forting them through a sieve or cullender, which however renders them liable to the ad valorem duty. MAXIMS ON MONEY.—The art of living easily Kato money is to pitch your scale of living one degree below your means. Comfort and enjoyment are mote dependent upon easiness in the detail of expenditure than upon one degree's difference in the scale. Guard against false associations of pleasure with expenditure—the notion that because pleasure can be purchased with money, therefore money cannot be spent without enjoyment. What a thing costs a man is no true measure of what it is worth to him ; and yet bow often ' is his appreciation governed by no other standard, as if there were a pleasure in expenditure per se. Let yourself feel a want before you provide against it. You are more enured that it is a real want : and it is worth while to feel it a little in order to feel the relief from it. When you are undecided as to which of two courses you scald like best, choose the cheapest This rule will not only save money, but save also a good deal of trifling indecision. Too much leisure leads to expense ; because when a man is in want of objects, it oc curs to him that they are to be had for money ; and he in vents expenditures in order to pass the time.—Taylor'is Notes from Life.
