Christmas-day was observed this year in Dublin with prescriptive strictness, and with an obvious im provement in the social conditiou of the people, as compar,d with the last few years. 'fhe various places of worship were thronged; the public tho roughfores were crowded, notwithstanding a most unpropitious must; the Lord Mayor was more liberal in the distribution of his gifts to the various chari table institutions than has been customary for some years, no religious distinction interfering with this seasonable benevolence; and all seemed to enjoy the holiday most cordially. According to los-al custom, none of the Irish newspapers, the publication of which fell on yesterday, made their appearance that flu' Nationality," which has waged war against the English secretary of the " Defenders," appears to be contagious, and bus bitten some politicians of another school. Captain Walker, agent to the Ormsby Gore estates in the county of Longford, has addi mired a letter to the acting secretary of the Royal Irish Agricultural Society, in which he states that he withdraws the annual subscription of Mr. Ormsby Gore, on the ground that the council of the society had " rejected the claims of eligible candidates (Irishmen), fur the situation of secretary to an Irish society, to adopt the claims of a Seotchman ;" and he adds, " Mr. Ormsby Gore, though residing in Eng lund, is an Irishman, and I am convinced sufficiently Irish in heart to approve of my withdrawing hts subscription under the circumstances."

THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 27, 1851. THE POLICE COURTS. WORSHIP-STREET. Jocst Sturmo and James TAconas Hauges, described as a gunsmith, were charged with having grossly conducted themselves in a railway carriage towards a young married Orman named Johnson, residing in Brick-lane ' Spitalfh Ids. Tin Nendainant stated float after spending the day with aim of Ur Mends in the country, she got into a third•clasa at the Poader's End station of the Eastern Qwatjw Railway, on the preceding evening, with the in tonate of retuning to town, but had no sooner taken her aMR flan sire was followed by the defendants, one of whom est bwu dose to her side, and the other one placed himself Immediately in front of her. As aeon as the train was set in motion the defendant Sturmo suddenly seized hold of her in the moat offensive and disgusting manner, surd on turning round to demand an explanation of such esedact, she was assailed by the other defendant, who sub jected her to a similar outrage. In spite of her indignant remonstrances, the defendants persisted in the same insult. lag conduct, which they repeated three times in succession before they arrived at the Edmonton station, on reaching which she placed herself under the protection of the station master, who, on learning the facts, immediately removed, her into another carriage, in which she proceeded on to Stratford, whets) she renewed her complaints to the railway officials, one of whom accompanied her to town, and gave l the defendants into custody at the termination of the journey. Mr. Charles Hill, a tradesman, living at Dunmow, fa . Essex stated that lie was a passenger in the same carriage, and although it was too dark at the time to enable him to I olnerve the conduct pursued by the defendants, he re peatedly heard the lady Tined them to remove their hands from her, to which their only reply wee, "Oh, you are I Irish." He felt so incensed at the gross indignity which had been offered to an unprotected female, that he handed her his card before she left the carriage, and considered it, his duty, although it subjected him to considerable personal inconvenience, to come forward to give evidence in support of the charge. In answer to the charge, the defendants strenuously dis claimed all intention to molest or insult the lady, and de -1 dared that if either of them had assailed her in the ' manner she had described it was purely accidental. ' Mr. Hazumill said that after the evidence he had heard he could come to no other conclusion than that a gross and wanton assault had been committed by the defendants, and he should order them to pay a penally of 40s. each, or be smelted in default for one month to the House of Cot seeden. The magistrate acknowledged the receipt of the follow log seasonable donations fur the poor-box :—The first half el r a 5/. note from "J. C. I/. B. ;" 61. front "E. C. ;" 101. from " C. V. ;" and " 11. W. C." 51. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Taverner, a lad, was brought up for final exami eaten charged with having incited Thomas Hammond, errand boy in the service of Mr. W. Thornhill, cutler, No. 144, New Bond-street, to rob his employer. From the statement of Mr. Thornhill it appeared that the boy Hammond had been in his service about a mouth, when from a communication made to him he discover, the boy had been in the habit of stealing goods from the shop to a considerable extent. The property stolen con sisted of razors, gold studs, knives, and similar sir ides, and the total amount was perhaps not less thou 40/. The articles had been sold for trifling sums to a great number of individuals by the prisoner. Thomas Hammond said a short time after he was en gaged by Mr. Thornhill he met the prisoner, a news boy, with whom he had an acquaintance, and told lam where lie was. The prisoner then begged him to get a dog c-dlar for him. Witness could not get a dog collar, but ho stole a telescope and gave it to the prisoner. From that time up to the time of his apprehension he took various articles and gave them to the prisoner, sometimes receiving from the prisoner a penny or twopence by way of encouragement. Half u-dozen persona who had bought articles from the erisroduced them, and they were identified by Mr. The prisoner was fully committed. The forenoon was entirely occupied by cases of drunk and disorderly, arising from a too liberal indulgence iu Christmas cheer. BENEVOLENCE.—From J. Kenyon, Esq 101. 10A. have been received fur the poor-box. LAMBETH, - John Merlin was finallyexamined on suspicion of being concerned in the following robbery and outrage. Mrs. Harriet Hitchcock, a lady residing iu Hall.moon lane, Dulwich, deposed that on the evening of the 10th inst., about half-past 5 o'clock, while returning from Nor wood to her own residence, she heard the footsteps of two persons coming clew behiirl, and hearing the men whisper or speak in a subdued tout of voice, as the got closer to her, she became somewhat alarmed, and ha d come idea of going into the Tulse-hill Hotel for safety. Before reach ing there, however, the men passed her, and obsessing them separate, and that one had approached the hotel for the purpose, as she conceived, of lighting a cigar, she be came less alarmed and proceeded on her journey. On reaching withiu about '2O yards of Thompsou's Cottage, she again heard the footsteps "t the same party approach her sad again heard the whispering sound of their soiree, and im mediately after received a desperate blow on the head with what appeared to her to be a blunt instrument. Su violent was the force of the blow that it caused her to reel round, and she fell against one of the men, and caught hold of his dress, though she was much stunned with the blow. On falling against the man, she begged of him and to kill her, upuu which he. said, " otto has touched you." She replied that some person had shot la r, and he said it was only a stone that had been thrown at him. A gentleman's coachman here came up, and she (witnes-) told him what had happened, hut ho said he should have nothing to do with it, and told her to get out of his way. At this moment a gentleman came up, and assisted her to a cottage opposite, and the man against whom she fell ac companied them as far as the gate. The gentleman asked her if she knew anything about tho man who had at tacked her, and she pointed out the man who went with them towards the cottage as one of them, but that person instantly ran away. Witness did not like to swear posi tively to the person of the prisoner as the man who had struck her, or against whom she had fallen, but he strongly resembled the latter. James Laversham, a coachman to Mr. M'Andrews, a gentleman residing in Tulse Hill-lane, said the priaouer was the person to whom he had spoken on the night in question, and was the person who Mrs. Hitchcock, the lust witness, bad hold of when he cause up. From his cross examination however it was clear that the utmost reliance could not be pineal en his recollection. It was also clear that if the witness and a person who was with him had acted as they should have done, the perpetrator of the cowardly outrage by which the skull of a lady had been fractured and net. Life put in considerable peril, might have been se cured, and his companion also. Mr. Scott, after observing on the testimony of the last witness, said he should place in the witness box the muter of the prixoner,whose testimony lie felt certain would satisfy the magistrate of the perfect innocence of the young man. John Dear was then sworn and examined, and his testi mony bore out the assertion of the learned gentleman to the extent that the prisoner was at once discharged. Mr. Norton expressed a hope that the police would not from this circumstance relax in their efforts to bring to justice the perpetrators of the daring outrage. EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES TT • BERVANT.--James Whitworth, a light pones, In the service of Messrs. Fletcher, Son, and Co., calico-printers, Manchester, was charged yesterday at the Manchester Borough Court, with stealing quantities of goods from the warehouse of his em ployers, at serious periods during the last two years. John Ilorrocks, a fellow sersant of the prisoner's, said he re membered the prisoner having notice to leave his situation on Thursday week. Witness met him that night, when they had some conversation on the subject, and Whitworth wanted him to bring away some fente and prints which he had concealed in the warehouse, for the purpose of carrying off at a convenient opportunity. Witness told him, " He would tear them into ribbons first." He found the goods stowed away in the place indi cated by the prisoner, and acquainted Mr. Howe (one of the firm) with the circumstance. Elizabeth Eecicahall, a d emetic servant, and Mary Kershaw, • person residing at Blackleg, near Manchester, stated that the prisoner tad sold them some shawls at Ids. to 17, each. They under stood from him that ho had the privilege of getting the shawls out of the warehouse (the real value of the shawls wee ken Us. to als. each). truss pieces had been put.. dosed arm him in the same way. It was shown in eel lases that the prisoner had for some time supplied two fent dealers with goods, such as mufflers, handkerchiefs, mous selines-de-laine, aprons, and patchwork of various descrip tions. One of them had paid him about 10s. • week for good+ on an average for the last two years. William Hudson Kirke, shawl buyer and salesman at Messrs. Fletcher's warehouse, gated that he remembered purchasing a number of shawls about four years ago. One of them had been on hand, and had been con tinually noticed by him for about two years afterwards, when it suddenly disappeared, and he was unable to find it to show to a customer. One of the shawls now produced in court was the same. It was a l'aie.ey shawl of very peculiar pattern. The prisoner might easily gain access to witness's department, though he had no right to be there. Mr. Howe stated that he had examined a quantity of goods which had been found in the prisoner's house when he was apprehended, and was able to identify most of them as the property of the firm of which ho was one of the partners. Inspector Maybury the detective officer who apprehended the prisoner , said'that when he was searching Whitworth's house, and found the goods, he asked him where he had got them, and the reply was that he had them from the warehouse. Mr. Berwick, chief superintendent of the Manchester detective police, said he bad witnesses who could speak to some ten or twenty dress-pieces which the prisoner had sold in a similar man ner. The prisoner had also been trading largely to Awe rice, sending out Messrs. Fletcher's patterns to persons there by whom they were used ; thus spoiling the market for his employen. The prisoner made no defence, and was committed for trial at the sessions. As very few of the goods were missed at the time they were taken away, it is difficult to estimate the total amount of goods stolen ; I but, taking into account the injury done to Messrs. Fletcher .! by the publication of their patterns, the loss to them is sup posed to amount to some thousands sterling. How TO PROCURE KIIN.—A letter from Beyrout, la the Oesareaktre Triestino, states that the Ottoman go verament has ordered every Mussulman to pray for rain on account of the great drought, and gives the following des cription of the ceremony: Every good 31shometan procures a vine branch a 1. , ) leaves upon it; he then recites a verse of the Koran over each leaf. The vine branch is then rolled I up, secured to • packthread, and cast into the sea, to be drawn out when it shall have rained sufficiently.

CHARGE OF CRUELTT AGAINST A UNION SCHOOL ASTEK.—At the meeting of the Board of Guardians of the I :tri,ll of St. Dliarylebone, held yesterday in the board room adjoining the workhouse, Mr. Edington called the attention of the board to the cue of William Ellam, aged 13, who had been struck over the head with a walking-stick by the eeleiolmaater. lie was induced to bring the case under the notice of the board, as it was stated that the mother of the boy had taken out a warrant against the schoolmaster, and that the case was to come before the ma gistra.e on Tuesday. Ills attention was called to the case be Mr. Wheclan, the master of the work house. • Mr. Gillam, the house-surgeon, stated that the boy was brought to the infirmary at two o'clock on Sunday. De was then ble,,hug from • wound on the fade of the bead, and there were marks of blood on his clothes. Re removed the hair from the temple, and applied a plaister. Ile was of opinion that the 110111111, which w.O not a severe one, was inflicted with a jagged stick. A cane would have caused a wale, instead of a eoutused wound.—The matron stated that she took the boy to the infirmary on Sunday. He bled a great deal from a wound on the side of his head. She thought he must hare lost half a pinto( blood.—Wm. Main, a diminutive-log/4n boy, stated that he was 13 can of age ; that the wound as his head war occasioned a blow which was inflicted by the schoolmaster wit a walking stick on St. day, for laughing with other boys. The Khali. master stated that be bad ordered him out d the ranks, and upon his refusing to obey the order he did strike him, but it was by accident that he struck him oval the head.-31r. Jacob Bell, 31. P.: The blow is stated to' have been struck with a walking stick.—Schoolmaster It was • small switch ; I have not got a walking stick.— Mr. Bell It was contrary to the rule of the school to punish a boy at the moment au offence was committed, and in the absence of the master of the workhouse.—ln reply to a claret:on from one of the guardians, the schoolmaster stated that the cane used could not be found ; he had kit it in the kitchen.—Mr. Edington deemed it prudent to bring the matter fully before the board, as there could be no doubt that the waster czeuiled his authority.—Mr. Poland said this was not the first offence of the kind that the school master had been guilty of. It ought to be intimated to him that if he repeated the off, nee it would involve his dismie sal—After further discussion it was agreed that the school master should be reprimanded.—Re was then called in and reprimanded accordingly. FIRE. AT THE GLOUCESTER HOTEL, GREFJIWICII. —Yesterday mooning, between 12 and 1 o'clock, a mounted police-constable, of the It division, arrived at the London engine stations with intelligence of a serious fire having broken out in Silver-street, Greenwich. The moment the news was received the chief officer of the D section of the London establishment started to the scene with an engine, and a powerful body of firemen, and was followed by the Wear of England engine. On entering Greenwich they found the hotel in a blaze. The building, which was about three times the size of an ordinary house, stood in Silver street, and at one period it appeared that every place near would have fallen a prey to the fury of the flames. The engines of the parish, as well u those from the Royal Col lege and her Majesty's dockyard, had previously arrived, ' and being supplied with an abundance of water from the Kent mains, the police and inhabitants were fortunately enaoltd to cut off the extension of the fire in the direction of the other buildings during the time lost in sending to town for additional assistance, but they could not succeed in extinguishing the main body of flame. The London, fire men, therefore, went to work most vigorcusly, and, with the assistance of the local aid, eventually suceieded in sub duing the conflagration, but not until a serious amount of valuahle property was reduced to ashes, which is thus re ported by Mr. Superintendent Braidwood : " The Gloucester Hotel, in Silver-street, Greenwich, about two-thirds of building and its contents destroyed. No. 1, in the same street, 3,1 r. W. Doo, tobacconist, contents seriously damaged by removal. Mr. Larkins, the landlord, was insured in the Kent Fire-office fur the contents, and the building was In sured in the Royal Exchange Fire-citfice ; but Mr. Duo was not it.sured." the origin of the fire is unknown.

COTTON.—MANCTIESIZU, Dec. 24.—Our market has during the past week assumed a quieter tone; prices, how ever, are well maintained. Buyers find it impossible to operate at lower rates, except the seller is wanting orders; in such cases some slight concessions have been made. The season, naturally, induces a lull, which has been sensibly felt since this day week. WOOL—LIVERPOOL, Dpe. 24.—Tho demand has been very animated this week, chiefly fur combing of home growth, prices of which have advanced considerably, end are still looking up. In short kindo, both of domestic and foreign, there to no change, but prices are firm. LIE" DEc. 26.—lif the English wool market there has been a fair extent of business done this week, and prices are firm, with an upward tendency. THE IRON TRADE.—The usual meeting preliminary to the quarterly meetings of the iron in“sters of the mid lmd was held at Wolverhampton on Wednesday last. The attendance was not only numerous, but highly influential. After a discussion of the circumstances of the trade, it was resolved that the prices adopted iu October last should be maintained. This resolution, it must be borne in mind, although acted upon by the first firms in the district, is not considered binding by many of the less wealthy makers of the district, who constantly sell at rates under quarter-day prices. Athough the trade, as is usual at this season of the year, is somewhat dull, good hopes are entertained for the future. PROVISIONS.—LIVERPOOL, DEC. 26.—American—The market for beef has this week been very lifeleta, a further arrival of last season's cure having incredved the previous depression. In pork, for want of stock, there have been no transactions. The demand for bacon is limited, the low price at which Irish is offered turning the attention of the dealers from American.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEw Yoau, DEC. 12. • The stock marks t fell off to-day, and closed with duo ward tendency. There was no distinction in the movement, as all the stocks appeared to be affected more or Ices alike. As compared with the closing sales of yesterday's corre sponding board, the following are the variath.ns la ware and Hu leen advanced j ; Narwich and Worcester declined ; Heading, ; Harlem, j; Erie and Canton, each I ; Morris, k. The market at the second board was better, and showed a general improvement. Erie advanced 1 per cent. Irons the lowest rate of the morning. MONST.—Tiie increased demand for money from partite who are making up their accounts to the Ist of Janliary has led to slightly-improved rates for street discount-, although leans on call am readily obtained at our last quotations. The income of the banks is now smaller, and they aro dis counting cautiously, but the applications are les.; urgent than formerly, and but little good paper is rejected. There to a fair demand fur foreign exchange, at some what firmer rates. Bills on London, 1101 to 110'. for bankers and other leading drawers; Paris, arr. 15C. to Mr. 13:e. far fid days. When the exports of gold from California first became noticeable, many expressed a fear that it would be shipped directly to England, and the bankers there used their ut. most exertions to divert the trade in that direction. The rate of Insurance from flan Francisco to Liverpool via the Isthmus of Panama and 11!itish West India steamers, was put con siderably below the rate charged to New York, and ship ments by that route were urged upon parties wishing to realise the value of their dust. Some experiments have recently been made to test the relative advantages of the din:relate ports, and we have obtained the results as a matter of interest to many of our readers. A remittance of about 20,000 doh. in gold dust to Eng land realised, after being melted into bars, 17.11 j per ounce, allowiag exehaLge at 10 per cent. It was quite equal to the average quality of that sent to our mint. We have averaged the returns of the latter for several large parcels as fellows : Average per ounce.

Messrs. Grinnell, Minturn, and Co., well known as hav ing a hand ready for every dood work, bare determined to issue tills of foreign exchange drawn for small amounts, to meet the wants of a large class of emigrants, many of whom bare much trouble and expense in securing small remit tances to their friends abroad. Arrangements will be made at various points throughout the country to make them ac cessible and available to the poorer classes, so that the latter may not be fleeted out of their earnings, or defrauded in their intended kindness to their friends at home.

A gentleman named Bruce not many months ago having'some potatoes at the station of the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway iu Manchester, applied to have a commission agent recommanled to him who would undertake the sale of them. To his sur prise he was told that the trade was not known. lie had to sell them to a dealer, and was not over satisfied with the • result. The discovery of our wawa sometimes suggests what are those of others. Mr. Bruce was struck with some surprise that in a great em porium of commerce like Manchester, where goods are con signed from the most distant parts of the world for sale— where the words " commission agent" strike the eye upon the sign boards and door posts in every street—the farmer-' of Lincolnshire, of Yorkshire, or the Midland coon. ties should have no such agencies through si hich, for a slight per centage, they could sell their vegetable and other produce, without being at the mercy of dealers, to whom they usually dispose of them, without being very accurately informed as to the market prices. Ile made some inquiries of a railway manager as to the prices charged by the in pany for transmitting potato e s, : thi n k ng th a t h e haddiscovered an opening for a new trade. The railway manager asked him what he knew of potatoes, declaring that it was the first time such a question had been put to him. A few minutes' conversation strengthened the confidence of the inquirer in the opinions he hod formed, and the firm soon bourne known in Manchester of Messrs. Bruce and Greenish, fruit and vegetable commission agents. The farmers along the Lancashire and Yorkshire line of rail way up to Goole and Hull were at first somewhat timid, and, unused to the system, hesitated whether to entrust their produce in this way. Mr. Bruce, however, continued his journeys among them till better known, made a voyage to the continent, visiting Rotterdam, Antwerp, and Cologne, going up the Rhino as far as Mayence, and the result is that while the farmers of Lancashire, Yorkabire, and Lincolnshire, have found it profitable to consign potatoes per railway to his care at a charge of five per cent., the fruit growers of the continent are sending over large consignments also on the same terms. Large quantities of wild fowls are consigned to them from the same quarter. Of such value has the trade already become, that we know it on good authority that the receipts of a single railway company into Manchester for the month of October, from Mews. Bruce and Greenish, amounted to 9001. These gentlemen have had some difficulties to encounter in the difference of weights and measures prevailing in different counties, and have just pub- Belied a list of tables, through Grant and Co., Man chester, which will be found very useful for farmers. The first table gives a comparison of Yorkshire "tubs" with Lanca shire " loads" and tons ; the next gives the results of Lin colnshire " sacks," compared with loads and tons ; another shows the weight of potatoes, fruit, &c., in pecks, stones, Etc. ; and another the price of potatoes and cost of carriage per tub, load, sack, and stone. There can be but little doubt, as this system becomes known, and understood by farmers at home and fruit-growers abroad, it will be re . sorted to more generally, and the innovation has already begun to tell with great satisfaction in the northern counties.
