TELEGRAMS received in anticipation of the Over- : land Mail report that the Cainese Government has refused to ratify the agreement made by Mr. Las - with Captain SIIELIARD OsROENE, that in con- , sequence of this refusal that officer has proceeded , to disband his force, that the ships composing his squadron have been sent to England for sale, and that Captain OsseeNe himself may be expected shortly to follow them. This intelligence is of great importance. It tells us that we have been once more delivered, by no wisdom of our own, from a great peril. Prince KUNG has saved us from a further and possibly a fatal dilu tion of the elements of our power in the East. He has saved us, for the present at least, from becoming the actual governors of a country containing three hundred and fifty mil lions of people—an addition to our empire which would make the QUERN the ruler of half the human race. It was from the first apparent that we could not place a formidable force like that which Cap tain OSBORNE commanded under the direction of a merely Chinese policy. The mercenary cha racter attributed to the Angle-Chinese contingent was repudiated at an early period by the assertion that, whatever might be the nominal relation between Captain L)::I34..ENE and the Imperial Chinese Go vernment, British officers fighting in China with the permission of the Qt - exx would virtually be allies of die Ecru:cm—allies, moreover, whose counsel must always be followed. It was thus a real governmeut of China which Mr. LAY and Captain O,,BORNE were about to assume. This has been well understood from the first on the part of the British zoncemed in the expedi tion, and by their friends in this country•. It was not likely that we were going to place English valour and English intelligence absolutely at the service of a Government which we despised as weak, and of a people to whose capital, as we have shown, we can march whenever we please. Our officers felt that the tidy character which they could aust sin in China wasthat of lords and masters. Prince KUNG appears to have awakened at length to the same fact, and, as he was not prepared to subject the empire of his master to the rule of foreigners, Hs arrangement with Mr. LAY has fallen to the ground. There is no doubt that this occurrence will cause disappointment and dis4tist to an important though not large class of her Ilainsrv's subjects, who will see in it a magnificent opportunity lost by what they will probably deem the weakness of our representatives. Prince liexo's compact with Mr. LAY seemed to open a field for the employment of a specific kind of talent which is becoming more and more abundant in our countrymen. Every year that closes leaves us with a larger number of men who if we had not an Indian Empire! could doubtless have risen to greatness as distinguished merchants, brilliant tivanciers, or successful colonists, but whose occupation, as things are, is to organize revenue systems, raise and lead armies, rule provinces, and then return to England with immense spoil. C inscious of commanding ability, there is no enterprise to which they do not con sider themselves equal. They would be happy to take Ireland in halal at a moment's notice and would afterwards undertake to govern England fo: the QUEEN, a thousand times better than it can be done by Lord Pauli:n:4ex and the two Houses of Parliament. If England has any " dangerous "classes" they are these. Able, resolute, and ready, they must have scope for tl•eir energies. They cannot be shut upin India, and when they cast their eyes over the East, and see a:tittered over it vast regions, capable under protest administration of yielding live times their present reveeues, and of supporting thousands of Englishmen aed Scotch men as administrators at handsome salaries, but now lying unimproved, they are shocked at the spectacle of so much waste. The news of • war with any ride Eastern people kindles their hope ; and when it was understood that Lotl PALMExarox would connive at the conquest and administration of the largest empire in the world, they knew not how to be sufficiently grateful to heaven for send ing us a statesman so bold and farsighted. Llokiug at the greatness of this new "interest," which is none the less powerful because it is un recognised end without a name, it would probably bo wrong to regard this Lu,t occurrence as more than a temporary check. Its instincts and neces sities are as keen and as strong as ever, and, with Lord I'ALMER'T,,N at the head of affairs, it may well comfort iteelf with the belief that it may not have to wait lung for their satisfaction. But one thing, at least, has been gained by the dissolu tion of the agreement with Mr. Lay. Before we proceed further to commit ourselves to in terference with China the Houses of Parliament will have an opportunity of considering the whole subject of our relations with that country. It is well I worthy of discussion whether, as a matter of po hey' it is wise to train up an increasing proportion of our youth to the trade of heroes, conquerors, and lords of outlandish races, while our own colonies lie undeveloped, and the greater part of our vast emigration is directed to a country under I • a foreign government, and with institutions dif ferent from our own. But, however that question may be decided, it is certain that we ought not to enter into engagements in China of a nature to draw upon us the responsibility of ruling that country without the most serious deliberation, the fullest statement of the ideas and aims of the ; Government, and the approval of Parliament.

Tangier, Dec. 20. "CIRCULAR TO TOE CONSCLS AND VICE-CONSULS OF SPAIN IN Ma POETS OF 1101IOCCO. "The government of her Majesty the Queen hu seen with great displeasure the gross calumnies which have been written against Spain in the belief that the Spanish consuls in Moromso have undertaken a crusade against the Israelites established in this empire. . _ •• Such calumnies must not is the least influence your feel ings, nor onght they to occasion any alteration in the pro eeecliogs of the ag , nts of Spain in Morocco regarding the Israelites, as relives to aiding and protecting them. " On the contrary the best mode of successfully combat ting such calumnies is increasing your solicitude for this race. which is so sadly circ.inistainced in this country. " Thus you will avail yourvelvei of every opportunity which may arise to preveut acts of cruelty on the part of the Moorish authorities against the Israelites, and also in eases of notorious injustice, and when it is the question to inflict the punishment of the lash in order to extort con feasion in any case, you will resolutely interpose your in fluence with the local authorities to prevent the commission of such act of barbarity." THE QUEEN AND THE PRINCEIR OF WALik; AND THE Eitel-inn ENT Or EDUCATED Weimi.—At • meeting of the committee of the Society for the Training and Ern- Ployment of Educated Women, bold at 23, Moleeetorth street, Lord T.ilt.ot de 31alabide in the chair, the f o ll ow i ng I letters were read :—" Windsor Castle, Dec. 12.

" During the last few days," says the Pays, " the Ministers of England, Austria, and Prussia at Paris have had several interviews with M. Drouyn de Lhuya on the subject of the Dano-German ques tion. Couriers were afterwards despatched to Copenhagen. Prussia and Austria are in accord in their determination to occupy Schleswig as a security, but only until the King of Denmark shall have satisfied the engagements entered into in MI with those two powers. In fine, the occupa tion of Schleswig is the means adopted by Austria and Prussia not to appear to abandon the cause of Germany, and to place themselves at the head of the movement which is in progress throughout the confederation, in order to restrain its excesses and direct it in a pacific course." SWEDEN. The Aftonbiadet of Stockholm, which approved a few days ago of the abstention of Sweden in the Dano-German conflict, now chimes in with the warlike tone that prevails at this moment. In giving an account of the meeting at Christiana and of the address of the University of Upeal, the Swedish journal says that these demonstrations would become more lively still, and would exer- cise an irresistible pressure, at the first cannon shot which should be heard on the Eider. "Sweden," says the Ajionbiadet, " will not hesitate to draw the sword when the object is to defend the Scandi navian frontier." POLISH DISCONTENT IN GALICIA. The official Gazette of Briinn (Moravia) says "The rebound which the Polish insurrection pro duces in Galicia presents an aspect so grave and so dangerous that the government must take energetic measures to avert the perils which threaten the state. The indulgent manner in which the tribunals have acted hitherto, iu not regarding those who had particiPated in the Polish insurrection as guilty of having disturbed public order until that partici pation was reiterated or special, appears insufficient in the face of conspiracy and of organised agitation. It is now felt to be necessary to proceed with all the rigour of the laws. It is said that the Tribunal of the First Instance of Briton will be formed into a special court for offences of this kind." EGYPT. A letter from Alexandria of the 21st ult. says : Halim Pasha has returned from visiting his tweedy acquired property near the upper cataract. His highness has made arrangements for the extensive employment of steam cultivators, and will have a very great breadth of land next season wider cotton. The only difficulty that is likely to arise in riming this out will, perhaps, in many instances, be the want of animal power in consequence of the mortality this year, but the introduction of steam comes at a very opportune moment. The number of tr►vellers in Egypt this year exceeds anything ever known before. There is a positive want of hotel accommodation for them, and our hotel keepers wall reap a rich harvest. Sir Charles Bright, Colonel Stewart, Capt. Stuart, and Yr. L►ws, who Lave been appointed to lay down the Indian I telegraph via the Persian Cult, have arrived and left here on their way to India. In consequence of the fearful ra vages of the cattle disease, the government Love been im porting oxen from different quarters one. large scale, forcing the holders of land to take them off their bands at prices ranging from 3C3 to 3C3 per cent. on the coat. The demon tent arising out of this is so general that it cannot fail to be brought under the attention of the Porte. Verily, it must be a profitable trade importing beasts at SOOp. and selling them for 4,000 p. (11.EL171 . 8 TELEGRAX.) DENMARK. PREPARATIONS FOR HOSTILITIES. COPENHAGEN, JAN. 5. About 14,000 men of the reeerve have been called out by the Ministry of War. FLENSBURG, J. 4, Evtsnto, Large reinforcements are to be sent from Ecken viirde to the island of Fehmern. In case of war it is believed that flank attacks will be made from that position. THE FEDERAL EXECUTION. RENDSBURG, Jas. 4. Hanoverian and Austrian pioneers, with a small pontoon train, have arrived here. It is said they will be employed iu erecting coast defences. It is reported that the Danish pioneers have left the Kronenwerk with instructions to blow up the bridges next the sluice bridge immediately upon the outbreak of hostilities. Contracts bare been made for supplying pro visions to the Federal troops. PROCLAMATION OF KING CHRISTIAN TO THE ARMY. HAMBURG, JAN. 5. King Christian has issued a proclamation to the Danish army. It says : " The new year finds you in arms for the defence of our Fatherland, and your King is therefore among you. I have entered upon the full inhe ritance of my predecessor in love to our native laud. Our motto is the bouour of our country, and it shall be upheld with peace, or, if requisite, by force of arms. No life is too costly for the salvation of the Fatherland. From the former struggle the army has retained experienced leaders, whom the young troops will now follow with enthusiasm. Courage, not numbers, above all unhesitating mili tary obedience, in all cases lead to victory." His Majesty concluded by saying he should soon gladly visit the different divisions of the troops. His Majesty reviewed a large portion of the army on the 3rd, and was to leave fur Fradrichstadt yes terday. Advice% from Copenhagen state that it is generally believed in the capital that a French and also an English fleet will soon appear in the Danish waters. PRUSSIA. THE DEBATE UPON THE LOAN. BERLIN, JAL 5. At the meeting of the committee upon the loan, in the Chamber of Deputies yesterday, Herr von Bismark repeatedly advocated free action for the policy of the government. He hoped, in conclusion, that the house would rather grant the means requested than compel the government to obtain them by its own authority. The debate was adjourned. GREECE. REPORTED DEPARTURE OF KING GEORGE I. FROM ATHENS. THE HAGUE, JAL 5. The Dag&lad ran's Gracenhafie of to-day pub lishes s telegram from St. Petersburg asserting that King George I. has quitted Athens, convinced of his incapacity to regulate the confusion of the country. The Barclay and Perkins of Vienna, Herr Dreyer, died maddeely a few days age. He w the beet prodooer of Vienna beer, and died worth from 6,000,001/0. to 8,000,000 g. (800,0001.) His heir is his only sots, a boy of 14. The boy, after finishing school, is to go for three years to England to Barclay and Perkins's establishineor, work there WI &Le age of 21, and than sesame the patri mony. POLAND. The Cologne Grt:rfte gives further particulars of the extortion of addresses of loyalty to the Czar, from the inhabitants of Warsaw. On the 27th of December, while one of the usual wholesale arrests of passers-by in the main streets was going on, the leading Jewish merchants and bankers were summoned to the office of police, where an address was laid before them by the director for signature. The director said that he would not force any one to sign, hut at the 84111 e time noted down the names of all who were present. Some wished to make explanations, but they were stopped by the director, who told them that the time for explanations was past. Great indignation has been created among the Jews in consequence of the re-establishment of the regulations depriving tlicui of several of the privileges enjoyed by Christians. ' The Chcrila remarks, with reference to General Berg's last decrees, that he has now organised three means of completely impoverishing the country. First, by the general contribution which is imposed on all the nobles, townsmen, clergy, and small proprietors in Lithuania, Podolia, Vol hynia, and the Ukraine, and on the Warsaw popu lation, and the clergy in Congress Poland. Second, the contribution on towns and villages, where the insurgents have seized the government chest ; and third, that on individuals who have in any way shown their sympathy to the insurrection, or for any reason remain abroad. The Vienna Veld gives the following review ol the state of the insurrection at the termination ol the year which has just concluded : Never were there so many bodies of insurgents in the government of Lublin as now. Since the battle of Chelm, in the middle of November, the corps of Waligovski, Wierzbicki, Krysinski, Cwiek, Marecki, Szydlowski, nie►ski, Ejtosanowicz, and many others, numbering 5,000 men in all, have been placed under the chief command of General Kruk, who himself is at the head of a body of hone. These numerous little bands do much damage to the Russian garrisons, which, including those of Zamoac and lwangrod, number upwards of 18,000 men. In the neigh bouring palatinate of Sandunor, in which General Bonk is the chief commandant, the insurgent corps under Iltrbsjlo, Rudcwski, and Eininowicr, num ber 3,000 men. The brilliant assault on the town of Opatow, and Kruk's victories at Ooosien'zo and Dzialosrece, prove that the insurgents are in this palatinate more than • match for the Russians, although the latter are upwards of 8,000 strong. In the other palatinates the military forces of the insurrection have to a great extent been absorbed by the civil organnation. There are, however, still the little bands of Okuniewski, Nowieki, Pongowski, Korytkowski, Putt Kammer, firtimlanski, Synswin, Zychlinski, Gleba, and many others, which Wage the Russians by constant skirmishing,. In Samogitia the insurgents are again increasing in numbers. They are led by Kolyaito, Wyelouch, and Kuszleyko. The little bands amount in all to about 10,000 men, besides 10,000 in Samogitia, Sandomir, and Lublin. WEATHER REPORT.-(THIS DAY.) TTUDAY, JANUARY 5, 8 LI/. B. Ki D., W. , P.. X. Q I L it B.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. A grand reception took place on Saturday even ing at the Tuileries. The ladies of the Diplomatic Corps and of the great officers of the crown were accompanied by their husbands in full costume, military uniform, or court dresses, as far as the Galerie de la Paix, whence they proceeded alone into the Salle des Mar4chaux and the Salle du Tame. The Emperor and Empress on leaving their apartments were accompanied by Prince Napoleon, the Princess Clothilde the Princess Mathilde, and the other princes and princesses having rank at court. Their Majesties having placed themselves on the throne, the doors leading to the throne-room were thrown open, and the ladies advanced, their names and titles being an nounced by the grand chamberlain. After the ladies had all passed, their husbands followed with the same ceremonial. Their Majesties, after conversing for a short time with some foreigners of distinction who were present, returned to their apartments. The Archduke Maximilian and the Archduchess Charlotte were the first among' the foreign princes to send by telegraph in the morning of New Year's day their congratulations to the Emperor and Empress of the French. During a rehearsal of the ballet of Fiammetta, at the Grand Theatre of Trieste, last week, the dresses of several of the figurantes caught fire, nod before the flames could be extinguished one poor girl, only 14 years of age, was so dreadfully burnt that she died a few hours after. The C7iarireiri publishes a wood-cut in which Old Father Time is represented seated at a table acting as an examiner, and scrutinizing the performances of a number of pupils. One, representing the year 1863, is just being sent away in disgrace :—" You are nothing but a silly fool," says he with scythe and hour-glass, "you have not been able to resolve any of the problems set before you. Be off ! We must see what another can do. This one next you (1864) looks more intelligent." M. Guizot, having completed the six volumes of his memoirs, is said to be about to publish three other volumes, entitled " MiSditatious Ittligieuses." The cold in Paris continues with full intensity, a strong frost taking place not only at night, but during the whole day. Yesterday at three the thermometer marked 3 below zero C. (261 F.) The accounts received at the Observatory of Paris show that severe weather has set in all over France. The lowest temperature in Europe is at St. Petersburg, being 10 below zero C. (14 deg. F.) The five men who were brought home from Monte Video in the Brazil mail steamer Parana, and landed at Southampton on Saturday, charged with the murder of the captain and some of the crew of the ship Flowery Land, and scuttling the vessel, were taken before the Southampton magistrates yesterday for examination. There are in all ten of the crew implicated in the crimes, five of whom, with two witnesses, were sant away from Monte Video in the steamer Uruguay for Liverpool, and the other five, also accompanied by two witnesses, came home in the Parana. The British Consul was afraid tossed them all in one batch, they being such • desperate set of characters, and offered to send a file of soldiers to keep guard over them, but the above arrangement was ultimately adopted. The men brought by the Pantos were heavily manacled. Their names are Marco Varto, a native of the laden Islands ; Marciliano Lacroix, a Greek ; Miguel Lopez. a Malay George Carlos, and John Williams, three of them being men of colour. The magistrates on the beach yesterday were ?deems. J. R. Stabbing, F. Perkins, J. H. Cockney, and R. COW. The facts of the case will be found detailed in the evidence of James Early, whose examination was taken. This witness stated that he was a sailor on board the Flowery Land, which sailed from the West India Docks on the 2dth of July last, and the five prisoners, four of whom could speak a little English, also formed part of the crew. The captain's name was George or John Smith, and the vessel was bound to Singapore. All went on well for five or six weeks, but on the 10th of September one of the crew, • Brazilian, not among those who arrived by the Parana, struck the mate. Witness was on the look-out house, and spoke to the mate, when they struck him again, and told Early to go into the deckhouse. He dil so, and called the carpenter, who was asleep in his berth, end he went out. The mate was then lying on the deck. Some of the men struck the carpenter, who meet beck to the deckhouse and stayed with witness all night. During the night he heard a noise on deck, but was afraid to leave the deckhouse. Between 5 and 6 o'clock in the morning witness went on deck, and theme into the cap tain's cabin, where he found the second mate and some of the men. Tbey were around the dead body of thecaptain, which was covered with canvas, and the prisoner Lopez put aro r t: r zod it and pulled it up, and then they threw it v There was a good deal of blood about the decks, and the men washed it away. Witness also missed front the vessel the chief mate sod the captain's brother. The sailors then got the money and the clothes that were in the cabin. One of them took command of the ship, and the second mate navigated it. They sailed the ship for twenty-two days, until they arrived at the entrance of the River Plate. where they determined on scuttling her. Witness got into • boat with the steward, cook, and second mate. The sailors ordered them to return, and they all did so, excepting the steward, at whom they threw bottles of wine, what stnick him several times. He remained in the host till he was very much cut about, and then be got out into the water and wee drowned. The sailors threatened what they would have dose with the steward if they bad had him on deck, and said it was too easy • death for him to die. After the steward was dead the men ordered Early to go down and clear the bottles out of the boat. The ship sank in about two-and-a-half hours from that time,and witness thought that the cook and the lamp-trimmer went down in her, for be never saw them again. Some of the men stopped on board till within a quarter of an hour of her sinking. They placed in the boats some clothes, bread, ham, and bottles of wine, and proceeded to the shore, landing on the open beach, and went into the country. The second mate managed to escape from them, and made his way to Monte Video, front which place a moo-of-war was immediately despatched in search of them, and after • few days they were all taken prisoner,. At the termination of the witness Early's evi dence the magistrates remanded the five prisoners fur • we.k, to afford time for communication with the Board of Trade. DISGRACEFUL SCENES IN A CHURCIL The St. Augustine petty session on Saturday was occupied nearly two hours (says the Kentish Gazeftt) in tbo investigation of two charges of assault alleged to have been committed in Seaulter Church oa Sunday, the 27th ultimo. In the first cue George Hayward, jun., ropensaker, wan charged with assaulting Georg e How, grocer. and iu the second George How WAS chargd with assaulting Rios Fanny Hayward, sister of the defendant in the first case. Mr. Allen Fielding appeared for the defendant in the first ,ase, and for the complainaut in the second. The assaults arose out of the disputed right to certain seata in one of the pews in the pariah church of Seemlier. Mr. How deposed that he went to church on Suodav morn ins, the 27th ultimo, but was prevented by the defeodant George Hayward from going into a pew in which be claimed two sesta. As he attempted to enter the pew, which was then occupied by Hayward and two ladies, the defendant puked him back several times, and on one occa sion pushed him nearly down. This constituted the assault coruplaioed of. Mr. Holding, on behal of the defendant, contended that Mr. How had uo right to the pew, the seats in which belonged to the Hayward family, and that no as milt had been committed. The alleged paining tram denied, but the defendant admitted that he prevented Mr. flow from entering the pew. Mr. Nichola, churchwarden. was riled, and deposed that two wets in the pew in question bed been elicited to Mr. How, and that the remaining three only belonged to the Hayward family. The magistrates held that an emelt had been committed, inasmuch as the defendant had, by by own admission, prevented the com. plainest going where be bad a right to go. They therefore (iced the defendant ln. and 14s. costs. The case of the alleged gnomish by Mr. How on Miss Hayward was then proceeded with. It appeared that in the evening Mr. How, accompanied by his wife, again attended church. Os en• tering he found the pew occupied by Mr. Gcorgs Hayward, Miss Fanny Hayward, the complainant. and two other ladies. Mrs. How was permitted to go into the pew and take the seat furthest from the door, but Mr. Ilayesrd pre vented Mr. How from accompanying her. Mr. How then went into an adjoining pew. jumped over the partition to join his wife, and, as was alleged sat himself down on the knees of the complainant, who WAS next to his wife. He continued to sit on Miss Hayward's knees for five or six minutes, though repeatedly requested by her to get up. This constituted the alleged assault, and the circumstance was distinctly sworn to by the complainant and another young lady who was in the pew at the time. The de fendant denied sitting down in Miss Ilaywerd's lap. He said there was plenty of room for six in the pew, and that he only sat down between his wife and Miss Hayward. In doing so he might, perhaps., have sat on Ilise Hay ward's dress, but nothing more. The magistrates deliberated a few moments, after which Mr. Delmar said they were unanimously of opinion that an assault had been committed. It W 2.1 very ungallant u well as very unseemly to sit down in a lady's lap, at any rate without her ermunt, and the magistrates would, therefore, tine him 10s. and 12s. costa. Mr. How wished to say that the occurrence in the evening would not have happened if it had sot been for what took place is the moraiug. Last night the Rev. N. Hall addressed a large assembly of working men at Surrey Chapel on the present aspect of the American question. Re congratulated the friends of emancipation on the degree in which the hopes they had indulged in a year ago had been realised, while the predictions of their opponents had been signally con tradicted by facia. _ . The estimated cost of the proposed new line from the Keot Coast and South Eastern Railway to Rama. gate, with • central terminus there, is 266,6001. WORKING MEN'S COLLEGE., GREAT ORMOND STREET.-lAllt night the Christome rourerlauioxe of the members and friends of the Working Men's College took place io the rooms of the college, Great Ormond , street, the attendance being very owl:taros'. Every thing that could contribute towards the gratification sod amusement of thou assembled war done. Nearly all the rooms of the college were thrown open to the visitors, and in each war some little exhibition of peculiar interest to the membeis—auch as the pencil, chalk, and water-colour drawings of the students, sketches, &e., geological and entomological col lections, besides summons stereoscopic views and micmecopie objects. A small portfolio of sketches in pencil and pen and ink (some of which have written upon them instructions to the engraver), by the late Mr. Tbackeray, was a chief feature of attraction, and collected many successive groups of admirers around it. For the nonce, the ordiesry library and reading-room of the college was decorated with holly end transformed into a banqueting room, where the company partook of tea, furnished by Mr. Earee, to which they did ample justice. The proceedings were enlivened by wino vocal music by the choir of the college. Amongst those present were—the Rev. F. D. Maurice, pnocipsl of the college ; Lowe' Dickinson, Esq.; Thom. laugher. Req.; J. Lee. Eaq.; J. M. Ludlow, Esq. ; Vernon Lushingtou FAq 8.C.1..• F. C. Penrose, M.A.; Mr. John Roebuck . ; A. S onnenac hein, ; W. T. Sutton, Esq.; J. Westlake, Y. A.; Mr. G. Tansley, Ac. SAVAGE ATTACK EY A DRUNKEN POLICEMAN.— A member of the Leeds police force, named Linfoot, was ordered into custody on Sunday morning is consequence of amu named Heroes being taken into the Leeds Infirmary in a very dangerous state. Betimes 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning Litifoot took Barnes to the polies-station of his distort, and the condition he was in so alarmed the sergeant on duty that medics] advice was immediately sought. There are Dive wounds on the head and face, with eviderom of several other blows. In one place the skull is fractured, and in five there is penetration to the bone. The right side of the lower jaw is also broken. It may well be imagined that a person suffering from such injuries most be in • precarious condition, and yeateeday the surgeons at the infirmary considered him to be in an extremely dangerous state. It appears that Linfoot, the policeman, on Saturday night had been exacting drink from various innkeepers, as well as taking advantage of his official position to make free with the commodities of sho keepers in his district, one of the out-township", and while in an intoxicated state he met about midnight with • man earnest Cardingley, whom be beat with has staff, stating that Le bad knocked his hat off. Some other men cause up sod aided his escape, but Linfoot immediately after en countered Barnes, and belaboured him so savagely with his staff that he wits brought into the shocking state be fore described. Yesterday the Mayor and other magi'. trates examined into the charge against Linfoot at the Town. ball, seal af ter hearing the statements of several witnesses, reminded the prisoner for a week. E. ! 1 ; 3 10 3:5 1 8 i 3 ! 12 SIX BOYS DROWNED. On Sunday three boys were drowned in the Bold Venture Lodge, Over Darwen, and two others narrowly mowed a similar fate. It seems that a number of boys and young men were sliding and skating on the ice, and while several of them crowded upon one part the tea broke. In the nob which followed five boys fell into the water. Several of the bystander, immediately ren dered an the aid they could, but only two of the boys were rescued. The other three very suddenly disappeared under the ice, and the most vigilant efforts failing to rescue their bodies, the police were communicated with, and a large portion of the ice broken. The lodge was then dragged, and after a search of nearly two hours the bodies were recovered. The names of the boys are George Fish, 13 ; James Bennett, 11 ; and Eli Mather, 14. A similar accident occurred at Macclesfield on the same day. A number of boys ventured on the ice on a pool in Park-lane, Macclesfield, which was nut au inch in thickness. One of them, named Eli Atkins, a youth fourteen years of age, slid on till some thirty yards from the side, fol lowed by two ,younger boys. John Edward Hilton, aged thirteen, and William Burgess, Mid twelve. Suddenly the lee at the spot which Atkins bad reached broke, end the little fellow was plunged into the water. Hui two playfellows went to his assistance, standing on either side of the hole from which Atkins was struggling to ex tricate himself. But the ice was not strong enough to sustain their weight, aed they too fell into the water and disappeared immediately. Atkins still continued struggling, hut was unable to get more than his elbows above the ice. A rope was thrown to him, which he seized with his mouth i; but he sank back exhausted, leaving some of his teeth embedded in the rope which he had seized in the List struggle for life. --- EXPLOSION OF A BOILER AT BRADFORD. About one o'clock yesterday, a terrific explosion of a self-feeding boiler took place at the parsonage of St. Andrew's Church, at Lister Hllls, Bradford, occupied by the Itev. K. Gale. Two servants. named Elizabeth Taylor and Elizabeth Mend:mil, were engaged in washing in a room adjoining the kitchen when the explosion took plain'. The boiler flew in pieces from its bed, knocking down the wall, and the fireplaces on each side of it, there being one in the kitchen and the other in the washhouse. The kitchen was a complete wreck, the doors were torn from their hinges, and broken to pieces ; the windows were blown out, and the opposite walls were shattered and broken by the missiles which had been hurled against them. Scarcely au article of furniture remained whole. The two servants were shockingly injured. Marsland visa found lying crushed and mutil►ted beneath the heavy stones which had fallen from ►bout the fireplace in the washbouse, and was removed in a dangerous condition to the Bradford Infirmary. Elizabeth Taylor was also severely injured, and placed under medical treatment. The kitchen was set on fire, but the fire was speedily extinguished by some workmen who were near. The damage to the build ing is estimated at 50/. The explosion was caused by the sudden liberation of the water which bad become frozen in the feeding pipe. A PRBVBNTATIVE OP HYDROPHOBIA. The Leeds Mcrotry of to-day publishes a com munication from Mr. dames o.srt4 Marshall, of Leeds, drawing attention to a certain cure. or ratber preventative, of the dreadful ditease of hydropbolna. Mr. Marshall, having seen in print a French method of treatment for the disease, wrote to Lis family physician in London—oee of the mast eminent members of the f aculty—to inquire whether it was to be relied upon • and Le reeeived the reply which Mr. Marshall thinks it hie duty to publish, and which is as follows: " London. Dec. 21. " My dear sir.—Every year produces at7inielibieOne truoi for hydrophobia. The malady, nevertheless, exists in all its unknown mystery and terror. Except that it is believed to be purely a disease of the nervous system, nothing is known an to the nature of the virus or its laws of mirage title ; so I have long dismissal keeping a list of remedies for the developed disease. Yet you will be astonished if I add, that. I believe it never, or almost never, need be taken even from the maddest of dogs. About twenty-five years ago, more or less, I was sent for to see the present Lord L—, then a fine healthy lad, who, it was said. had been licked, not only over the lila, but within the mouth, by a little terrier, which was found Pitting on the bleeping lad's chest, and dipping his tongue into his imister's open mouth. The deimesuour of the dog alarmed the late Lord L—, and I was called in to ascertain the fact of tbe -dog being or not being n.ad. Now on this point I did not consider myself any authority, and so sent for Sir Beoj. Brodie, who, though Rennie; with me es to the probable madness of the dog, nevertheless desired that the late Mr. Youatt, the veterinary surgeon, and a most remark able nun, should he appealed to. lie at once pronommed the ilary; as labouring under hydrophobia. and, turning to me, added, 'lf you will come to me in five days at our dog hospital, we can dissect the animal.' I did so, and found the dug dead, and Youatt bust in opening the carcase. I naturally was shy in touching the asimal, and asked if he were not afraid. 'No,' be answered ' I have repeatedly been bitten by my most undoubted patieuts—(there were several in cribs there then, which 1 saw alive)—and Inver have any fear.' I asked how often he had been bitten ; he told me eight times; and then he called his assistant or porter, and asked him how often he had been bitten ; he, I thiuk, owned to at least eight and I believe ten, undoubted introductions of the virus; and be it remembered, that the attack or bites were all on the bands of these men. so could not be wiped off by any inter vening garment. Youatt then told me that his remedy was to allow the common nitrate of silver, easily procurable. to filter into the wouLd ; it decomposes the waive, and in doing this destroys the virus. Whenever lam bitten I hare a remedy sure and at baud, and uo fears of the disease supervening. ! " The actual cautery, the caustic rata., and excision. are in my opinion unsafe and liable to fail. Toe nitrate of silver chases the penal* into the very capillaries and neutralises it. "Since I bays known this I always use it to any bite of a dog, sound or not, and am at rest. "The above was dated in some blue book about thirty years ago, by Youatt. •Brodie and I acted on it, and made poor young Lord L—'e lips, palate, and throat as black as that of his therough-heed mad terrier ; and he. if you ever see him, will tell you this tide. " Yours truly. " The poises of hydrophobia remains latent oe an average six weeks : the part heals over. but there is • pimple or wound, more or less imitable; it then heroines painful, and the germ, whatevee it is, is ripe for dissemination into the system, and then all hope is gone. " Nevertheless, between the time of the bite and the activity of the wound previous to dweemin►tion, the caustic or nitrate of silver is a sure preventative ; after that, Big as useless as all the other means. " The best mode of application of the nitrate of slime is by introducing it solidiy into the wound. It melts in an equal quantity of water. If shoed, healed, the cicatrix should be rubbed and causticated away entirely." Mr. Glatldtoue ad.lre.med a meeting of working men at Buckley, in Flintshire, last night. The right hon. gentlemen strongly urged upon his audience the neceasity of providing against a rainy day, and he wu at special pains to point out the facilities which the Post•ofsce Savings Banks offered for the investment of small sums of money. At Oldham yesterday, above 8,000 persons were "toed" and fs:cd by Mr. John Platt, of the Hartford New Iron Works, in celebration of his eldest son attaining his majority. The festivities were held iu the works, which were specially fitted up, and the smonut of provisions cow. sunned would have stocked a large retail establishment. There was a ball in the evening, and an address to Mr. Platt. MR. BAINES, M.P., ON PARLIAMENTARY RE FORM.—Mr. Edward Baines, M.P., for Leeds, haa addressed • letter on the subject of parliamentary reform to the Leeds Working Men's Parliamentary Association. The boo. gen tlemen advocates •n extension r f the aufftage. He says :—" So long as the intelligent labour of the kingdom is all but wholly unrepeesented in the kgiskture, there remains • great Injustice un redeemed. You know 1 am no extreme man. and that lam • finn friend of our old constitution but when look at the state of the franchise, sod Pee that the working classes, although they form at least three-fonras of the population, have only • minute fragment of • share in the representation, and that fragment con stantly diminishiug. I am astonished that such • state of things can be allowed to coutiena." He then reviews the course of this question during the years 1841-2-3, enters rather largely upon the ducat oral pro gress of the people, and adds : •• An enlargement of the franchise, then, msy be repinied as a double debt owing by turliarnent to the people—a debt of justice to the unrepresented classes, and • debt of honour to the constituencies ' • and each of three debts is overdue. Meanwhile parliament is hastening to the day when it must pay the slobt of eaten, and render up its account Ido not see how that account can be rendered satisfactorily, if the ensuing session should poss over without at least sit attempt on the part of every honest reformer in the Howie of Commons to redeem his pledge." FIRM CELTtRE.—TIie total number of salmon introduced into the Tay through the operation of the breeding ponds at Stuff inuntfiold, has been in round figures something like a million and a quarter, sod the tented of the river has grown in consequence, so increase of 10 per feet being due to the pond., the expense of them being only about I/. per week. Sir William Jardine states that pool-brad fish suffer no deterioration from the circumstance of their birth sod srtificial nurture. On composing the fish of the Stormonttield ponds with thole, in the river, that gentleman found • remarkable similarity and agreemeet of the different stages in all respects with those of the Name ages Another reception pond is shout to be added to the @site. This will enable the conservator to produce a hatch' of 300,000 salmon every year. These will be protette4 in the ponds till they change from the parr intr the smelt stage, at which time they become imbued with the talirs tory instinct, and seek to visit the salt water. Bat She hest operstions in salmon breeding are being carried ea la Ireland. They are the best as tearer& their magnitedos and in the feet of their having introduced salmon into rivers which were formerly ioaccesaible to that fish.
